I have acquired this!

Well this is now my new favourite book. It essentially tells the story of season one with some outtakes and adaptions. Unfortunately some of my favourite episodes and scenes have been redacted but to be fair they had a lot to cover

So far I’ve only read it through google translate (using the camera to read the pages which my brother thinks is witchcraft) so I don’t have an accurate read yet but at some point I’ll sit down and translate it properly so I can read the whole thing at once rather than in batches (curse the shaky hands)

Here’s some of may favourite features I’ve found in my rough reading, I’ll put it under read more because there’s some stuff that either doesn’t line up with the canon or I suppose is a spoiler for some headcanons

A) Otto (Addo) is alive! During the final party after defeating the Professor it’s revealed that Guggenheim managed to get him back from the organisation and he is also there at the party. Zhalia is very relieved to see him and they catch up

B) Zhalia got a leg injury in the final battle, hence leaning on Dante

C) Defoe. During Dante and Griers fight on Sutos, Dante brings up Defoe and is told “the organisation got rid of him” take that as you will

D) you know that conversation Dante and Zhalia are having in the background of Lok and Sophie’s chat after defeating Madea? They’re arguing because Zhalia wants to bond with Madea and Dante won’t let her. I just found that interesting because I thought Zhalia wouldn’t want the Titan that brought up all her past trauma

D.1) little side note, to speed things up, Zhalia defeats Madea all by herself

E) after finding out Dante was NOT mind controlled and her thoughtspectre had worked, Zhalia wanted to hug Dante but didn’t

F) Sophie has keys to Dante’s house (kind of obvious considering they’re there alone all the time but it’s a nice feature)

G) tersely and Montehue give Lok a rare book of Norse mythology as a gift after defeating the professor

H) Montehue hugs everyone during the party and hugs Lok so hard, Dante has to step in

I) Dante describes Zhalia as beautiful

J) I need to check my translation but I think Zhalia’s parents were killed

K) Zhalia: tell me you aren’t lying to save yourself

Dante: I have never lied to you and I never will

Zhalia: klaus is like a father to me, I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it

Dante: I’ll take care of it

L) “a meal worthy of metagolem” is how I’ll be complimenting food from now on

M) rather than all of them touching the crystals to see if they’re pure of heart, just Lok does it and he gets an electric sensation go through his chest

N) to celebrate the whole Thor and mjolnjr thing, Guggenheim takes everyone out to dinner

O) lok was sleeping on Dante’s sofa without permission, he just kind of moved in and Dante gave up

P) Defoe was meant to take the sword of St George to Klaus, who would study it and take it to the professor

Q) oh that whole speech about going to Vienna where Dante changes his mind and takes the team? Nope he just says no and walks out and Leblanche spends the next few days baking treats to cheer them up

R) Loks cover story for his mum and sister was going to be: Sophie is a classmate on the same intensive archeology summer course as him and Dante and Zhalia are assistants to their elderly professor who is sick which is why they’re getting a holiday (the book then skips that episode and it’s unclear whether they didn’t go or whether it’s just not mentioned)

S) Lok asks why Sutos is not under the Greek government and the holotome tells them that it’s a regent based government which is inherited to the first born son

T: Zhalia: klaus taught me everything

Dante: except honesty

(Slightly paraphrased but it just cracks me up)

U) much like most fanfiction, Cherit is forgotten throughout most of it and occasionally gets mentioned

V) Lok: how did you do it?

Sophie: magic.

Wouldn’t YOU like to know?

The Man-from-the-Railroad is an enigmatic, impeccably tailored, charcoal-suited figure, black hair dusted with salt-and-pepper, and a gleaming white tiger-like smile.

His origins are unknown, his true purpose and motives are unknown.

What is known, however, is that he is charming, cunning, from the Railroad, and while some might consder it up for debate is certainly not the Devil. He is something else; which is to say, worse, and real.

-

For RP purposes, here is a rundown of his character and powers so you can know what to expect. All of this applies to his canon (aka DEFAULT) setting, and can/may be tweaked for AUs on a case-by-case basis.

NOTE: Most things I have pulled either from canonical instances or “word of God” per the writer(s) of the podcast. Some things I have extrapolated, due to his brief appearances, and others I have inserted from my own bullshit. I still try to stick to the core aspects of his character as seen in canon; and he is subject to change should more material become available on new episodes of the podcast.

PERSONALITY:

The Railroad Man is, above all, charming, seemingly affable, effortlessly confident, and stopping him from doing what he wants is about as easy as stopping a speeding train. He has the air and appearance of unnerving perfection, as though he was manifested into being clad in his signature pinstripe suit; but it’s every part of his appearance, from his perfectly-coifed hair, to his perfectly cut thin beard, to his unnervingly straight, bright teeth, down to his polished leather shoes--the sort of which you could never afford. Something about him is just... not quite human... it is cold, bright, unbearably real.

He delights in style and class and has a flair for the dramatic. However, he is a stickler for rules--that is, the Old Rules of magic and honor and deals: If you bring harm upon him and his own, you owe him; if he does you a favor, you owe him, and he will come to collect at a time of his choosing. 

He also revels in death and blood as it pertains to the railroad (worldwide), and since at least the 1880s (though very likely earlier than that) he has contributed to pr*son pipelines that provided hard labor to build hundreds of thousands of miles of tracks worldwide (over 100,000 miles in the United States alone). 

They saw the land split by iron tongues. They saw men work to pull up driving spikes and laying rail. they saw the avarice and greed and the ever-growing power of the railroad in this man's eyes.

-- Old Gods of Appalachia, Episode 23 (Season 2), A Bad Night for Hollow Men

Blood, as it turns out, and the lives given in his name and/or the name of the Railroad, allows him to travel as he pleases, and the more bodies worked to death, the better. To say he has a cheerfully callous disregard for human life is a vast understatement. He is decidedly not human, and considers himself better, superior, to them--even to the point that this can become a blind spot where he underestimates human opponents, though fighting against him will always come at a great cost.

His only redeeming qualities are his apparent ambivalence on things when he can get his way, his charm (although smug), and his adherence to rules. He is not unwilling to work out a deal, and in fact, would prefer to do so even if he has the power to get what he wants by sheer force alone. 

He is a man of class and taste, with an airy arrogance that shows itself when his patience wears thin. Just don’t inconvenience him too much--he is not afraid to massacre hundreds to get what he wants, or to shed blood as he turns to smiling anger.

POWERS/ABILITIES/WEAKNESSES:

- Rapid, near instant healing of his body and clothes (blood-based) even from catastrophic injury. He can be killed if cut off from his healing source, provided the blow is a fatal one

- Immense strength/stamina-- can rip out a person’s throat with his bare hand, can also withstand a shotgun blast from close range and remain on his feet

- Teleportation over vast distances, provided he is within a dozen miles of a working railway; he uses working rails as ‘tunnels’ through utter darkness from place to place

- Shapeshifting-- Per Steve, he could be The Railroad Ma’am if he wanted; I have decided he could be pretty much any shape and has such control over his physical form (clothes included)

- Shapeshifting/Illusiory magic-- This passage from episode 25, Siege of Pleasant Evenings, explains it best:

And then as if to answer her unspoken query, the Railroad Man’s body flickered and changed. He seemed to grow taller, and then shorter, he seemed to distort into impossible forms and faces, and collapsed back into the well-dressed fiend in the charcoal suit. In one flickering moment, and dark-skinned, wrought with muscles, his back misshapen by a slab of scars; in his hand hung a heavy hammer. Another shift, and he was a woman cradling her dead husband’s head in her lap, his body crushed by stones. another flicker and he was a burning town, billowing black smoke into the trees, the heat and burning stench of men dying ripe on the air, for but a moment before he flickered again, and he was a salt and pepper playboy in a fine hand-tailored suit. 

Other visions flickered across the eyes of those who saw him there, each one a custom-made image of pain and loss and violation. 

He grinned up at her, stark and feral, like a wolf with a mouth full of your firstborn. “Do not mourn these poor souls, Miss Walker, for they have all fallen short of the glory of their god—be it the one who takes their tithe or the one who signs their paycheck. They look to both for salvation and find naught but throats like sepulchers and feet quick to shed blood.”

- Blood magic-- His blood and blood shed for the railroad are the/a source of his power. However, like other creatures of the Dark, he can be cut off from his exposed healing source (a pool of blood) if he has already been injured and ONLY if he has been sufficiently caught off guard. Blood shed in his name can cover wards, spells, sigils, and the more blood, the more control he will have

- Creation of Hollow thralls-- By getting folks to agree to work for the Railroad, and giving them his black business card, he can call upon them--through some corrupting magic, their minds will empty and he can command them to do as he wishes. Sometimes that will distort their bodies, sometimes not, but it will always lead to their eventual mindless and monstrous death

- Compulsion of obedience/mild hypnosis-- through the sound of his voice, the touch of his hand, through the act of truly looking into his eyes and Seeing who and what he really is

- Heightened senses-- He can smell the air and taste the earth; he is attuned to the ground in which rails have been staked and to the lives affected, changed. He can sense power and life and death and the stories and names of the people there. He can and will kneel and taste dirt, and he can and will sniff the air like a hound to find the threads of the stories he wishes to learn

- Names and Property Lines-- It is important that he is apparently nameless, as names in Alt Appalachia have power; his being without a name means power cannot be claimed over him in this way. Additionally, ownership of property is particularly important in this world-- wards, charms, barriers on a person’s land can be weakened or rendered void if that ownership changes. The more blood shed by TRM on the Walkers’ land, for instance, and spilled over their protective wards, meant the land would slowly but surely become his. It would follow, then, that a stand could be made against him with sufficient magical defense if you had your own little plot and a legal deed with your name on it--as long as you can keep him from sending waves of dying bodies over the property line

MISC:

- When he dies, a bright light bursts through his eyes and mouth and the terrifying sound of a train will rumble past before he and any carnage vanish. Death for him is not at all permanent

- He likes making stupid train pun jokes on occasion but they are subtle... ish

- He is probably around 100 years old or more by the 1930s

- While rather fae-like in the way he operates, he is familiar with human culture and language and all that sort of thing

-

s y n o p s i s // ❖ More Hellsing short fics featuring, but not limited to: platonic relationships, the 30 year time skip, original characters, Sertegra (Seras x Integra), and/or Alucard's struggle with the Cat's powers ❖ The slow, but steady continuation of my Hellsing long fic, Plutonian Sun ❖ New Witcher long fic to come some time this year inspired by Sapkowski's book series and CD Projekt RED's The Witcher 3, NOT the Netflix series ❖ Possible Interview With The Vampire short fics exploring the characterization/pasts of Louis, Lestat, Claudia, and Armand. ❖ Possible Dracula short fic featuring a male reader/character of sorts.

Happy New Year's, everyone!

In hopes of keeping things fresh and different, I'll be tackling a few writing projects this year.

h e l l s i n g //

For better of for worse, Hellsing (specifically Hellsing Ultimate) has always been my biggest guilty pleasure and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon. As such, I will still be making content for it. I'm especially interested in exploring the (mostly platonic) relationship dynamics in the Hellsing Organization, such as Integra's relationship with her staff and soldiers, that we don't get to see very often.

I'm also interested in exploring Alucard's newfound powers that he unwillingly received from Schrödinger. I don't typically see a lot of people theorizing how it effects him upon his return or how he navigates it, so this will be something I'll be exploring in Plutonian Sun and possibly in shorter writing pieces.

Speaking of the long fic, I am still plotting and writing it, chapter by chapter. I'm not fast at uploading by any means, but I still intend on continuing it. I know it's not everyone's favorite since it doesn't feature any of the most prominent fanon ships and includes original characters, but I am writing for a more specific audience, anyway. I always appreciate it very much whenever someone leaves a comment of a kudos—it helps me know that maybe I'm doing something right!

t h e w i t c h e r //

Probably to come later on in the year, but I am brainstorming a Witcher long fic. Even though I've had thoughts about doing this anyway, I became motivated to put this project to paper after watching Netflix's The Witcher: Blood Origin. I didn't actually watch the whole thing—I could barely stand to sit through a single episode. It's bad. Really bad. And I figured, "well, I can probably do better than this." So here we are.

Once I am done reading my current book, I will be reading The Last Wish, at least for a start. I may also take inspiration from CD Projekt RED's "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt"—I played the full game with DLC a few years ago. Unfortunately, with how old my laptop is getting, the new gen update has made playing "The Witcher 3" less possible, though not impossible.

Though the story will include many well-loved (and hated) characters from the books, the main protagonists (Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri) will not be present for at least the majority of it. In order to usher the forth a new perspective, I will be making original characters of my own. Such characters include: — an old bruxa who makes a living as an alchemist in Toussaint — a good-natured halfling who's prone to bar fights and loves to cook — a soldier-turned-merchant from Ofir with "extraordinary" luck . . . and likely many more.

I'm still trying to think of a good title, but once I figure that out and the general theme/plot for the fic, I will start giving updates on its progress.

i n t e r v i e w w i t h t h e v a m p i r e //

I've seen the first season of Interview With The Vampire on AMC+ and I absolutely love it. Admittedly I've never read any of Anne Rice's books, but that may change some time in the foreseeable future. For now though, my interpretations and works will be influenced by the AMC+ series. Stories will include the exploration of Louis, Lestat, Claudia, and Armand's personalities/relationships and possibly their pasts. There will especially be an emphasis on how delightfully toxic these blood suckers are to each other.

d r a c u l a //

I've briefly mentioned this a while ago, but I've been thinking about making a fic with a male reader/character who meets Count Dracula (or "Mr. De Ville") shortly after he reaches England. Though Van Helsing and the others likely won't be present in this work, perhaps I will include other side characters from Dracula. I may even have Djamilah (or Ibrahima at that time) make a short cameo. A self-indulgence, if you will.

If anything comes up or there are any changes, I'll be sure to make an announcement. Until then, this is what I have on the roster for this year.

Cheers. ✭

character profile - Chris Doyle {the athlete}

G E N E R A L I N F O R M A T I O N Name: Christopher Josiah Doyle Nickname: Chris Gender: Male Birthplace: San Francisco, California Birthdate: April 25 Age: 34 Current Residence: London, England Employer: Falmouth Falcons Occupation: Professional Quidditch Player | Keeper Blood: Pureblood

A P P E A R A N C E Height: 6' 0 Hair: Light brown Eyes: Hazel, but more green than brown Dominant Hand: Right Other: Diagnosed with low muscle tone at the age of three, and for this reason has to take a Strengthening Solution every night before bed to keep his health and muscles in shape; Taurus symbol on his left bicep as a tribute to his father (they were both born in that range, Chris in April and his father in May)

Playby: Chris Evans

B I O G R A P H I C A L I N F O R M A T I O N Ever since he was young he had to work harder than everyone else to get what he wanted. Born several weeks premature, he suffers from low muscle tone and is required to take a Strengthening Solution regularly. In order to help build up his strength, Chris's father got him into Quidditch and surfing when he was four, buying him his first surfboard and broom (a Comet 260) and teaching him the rules of the game.

Although while he was a child the United States did not involve much in Quidditch, Chris was still able to play with other kids in his neighborhood who were also interested in the sport. He grew to become a Keeper, and his love for the sport allowed him to combat his strength issues. When he attended Ilvermorny, he continued to develop his skills by joining the Pukwudgie Quodpot team. And since Ilvermorny students are not permitted to take their wands home until they are seventeen, Chris spent most of his time off playing Quidditch with his neighbors and imitating the moves done by their idols in Europe and the league.

After several years of training following his completion of his seventh year of school, Chris began to send out applications to international Quidditch teams such as his own American one and a few others in England. Eventually the Falmouth Falcons chose him to be an extra Keeper. Chris moved out of his parents' house and purchased an apartment in England to spend his Quidditch season in. For a while his teammates made fun of him for being an American on a English team as well as the fact that he was the spare keeper who wasn't really needed. But eventually, he and his teammates became friends after a year together. Chris was adamant about remaining on the team, and helped out a lot at practices. During matches, he helped when it came to recovering rouge balls (except the Snitch).

It wasn't until their Keeper suffered from a rather severe head injury from a misaimed bludger (their Beater had hit it particularly hard at the opposing Chaser, who dodged at the last second) that Chris got the chance to actually play in a match. The moves that he developed from surfing allowed him to assist in his team's come-from-behind-win, allowing them to keep the score down low enough so that their Seeker could catch the Snitch. He has been respected by his peers ever since.

Known for being a bit of a womanizer and a tease, Chris has had several girlfriends over the years. Many of the relationships didn't last too long, and most of them were summer flings. Truly sweet and caring, Chris looks up to his father a great deal and tries his best to make him proud when he can. However, his father passed away from pancreatic cancer roughly two years ago. The whole experience was tough on Chris, and it changed his outlook on life significantly. Over the course of the last two years, Chris has spent most of his time with his mother. The Falcons allowed him to take the time off to grieve, but with the World Cup gradually approaching they are eager to see him return.

For the first time in years, Chris is hesitant about returning to Quidditch (and the real world in general). He wonders if maybe he should try and grow up, settle down in his life, and put his reckless, playboy years behind him.

C O N N E C T I O N S Parents: Samantha Doyle (mother), Phil Doyle (father - deceased)

O T H E R T H I N G S Education: Ilvermorny, Pukwudgie Wand: Oak, eleven and three-quarter inches, phoenix feather Sexuality: Straight Spoken Languages: English Likes: Surfing, flying, playing Quidditch or Quodpot Dislikes: Being questioned after his strength and loyalty Song: You'll Be in My Heart - Phil Collins

[cellythefloshie]

ɴꜱꜰᴡ ᴀʟᴘʜᴀʙᴇᴛ

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex) Barclay is very tender and caring when it comes to aftercare with his partner. He will draw baths, get water and snacks, cuddle and maybe even give a massage. He also makes sure to assure his partner feels loved with many peppered kisses along their face, neck and shoulders. 

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s) Barclay’s favorite body part are his legs, and the legs of his partner. He keeps himself well trained for speed during the regular season, and assures he gives his partner a thigh thigh to grind upon during foreplay. He also loved stroking, and kissing up and down his partners legs. 

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically) Barclay is willing to come everywhere, but he especially loves cumming on his partner’s face - and he will say the dirtiest, nastiest, while pleasant things to his partner while he does. 

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs) Barclay was very open to sharing his partner with line mate Blake Coleman when they both played in Tampa Bay. This resulted in many three-ways. 

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?) Barclay is quite experienced - especially from his time when he played in the OHL and could be a wilder with his partners and their antics. Now that he’s in the NHL, Goody has had to tone it down a bit but it hasn’t completely stopped him from indulging in his own ways. 

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying) Goody enjoys taking his partner on all fours/doggy style. 

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.) Barclay is much more serious in the bedroom, especially when it comes to experimenting with toys and multiple partners. 

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.) Barclay is a pretty hairy guy - his beard is magnificent in the post season, there is no feeling like it gracing against the delicate skin of his partner - but he does maintain it to keep it from getting too wild. 

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect) Barclay is a guy who does not forget about the intimate little gestures. The lingering touches and the forehead kisses are moment he relishes in. 

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon) Barclay isn't’ one to be deterred from jacking off, especially if he has an audience to please...

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks) Goody is a bit of an exhibitionist. He is not afraid to fuck his partner in front of an open window, of get a little adventurous at a dinner table in a restaurant. 

L = Location (favorite places to do the do) Barclay isn’t all too concerned about when and where. If there is an opportunity and he and is party are willing he could get it on anywhere. Naturally, he enjoys the bedroom, but is not opposed to the kitchen counter, shower or locker room. 

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going) Barclay is motivated greatly by his own desires, and the ability to pleasure his partner(s). 

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs) This man is willing to try anything once and I am convinced, that at this time, he has no hard no’s. 

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.) Goody is going to worship his partner with his mouth and tongue. He very much enjoys giving as a form of foreplay. 

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.) This man fucks like a rabbit, in frequency and pace. He does not lean towards rough sex or sensual sex on particular, and likes to change it up from time to time. 

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.) Quickies are apart of his home-game pregame ritual. So they happen quite frequently, but during the off season he’s committed to making up for any potential “lost” pleasure that his partner may have missed out on during the season. 

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.) Barclay is always excited to experiment and take risks as long as the proper precautions are made to assure everyone’s pleasure and safety. 

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?) Barclay likes to fuck fast and hard a lot of the time, so think many rounds and very fast unless he’s giving his partner a low proper love making. 

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?) He loves to pleasure his partner with toys. He keeps a small basket of them beneath his bed complete with vibrators, dildos and cockrings. 

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease) Goody doesn’t like to tease all too much, as it turns him on far too much to handle. 

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.) Barclay isn’t very loud, but he does make soft grunting sounds as he thrusts into his partner. 

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character) Barclay loves to tug at his partner’s hair during sex, and gets off at the sounds of pleasure his partner makes. 

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes) Barclay has a a very impressive member. It’s not the biggest in the locker room, but it is sizeable and girthy. 

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?) High, probably too high to handle, especially while he is on a long stretch of road games. 

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards) Cumming is like a cup of coffee for this man. He’s going to need at least an hour to wind down afterwards if he’s expected to sleep.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Recently, ____ has graduated from her prestigious university atop of her class with honours in Computer Science and a specialization in Artificial Intelligence.

Hearing about her achievements, the Scp foundation has decided to contact and conduct an interview with her. To see if she is capable to join the organization.

With her, they could expand their horizons in understanding technology and most of all the uncooperative anomalous that is Scp-079. For whatever reason, it seems to take interest in her. Yet, refuses to share the reasons as to why it held her on high regards.

------------------

She woke up earlier than she expected. The surge of adrenaline was a response of her excitement for this day. As she prepared herself breakfast, her mind wondered how did she get contacted so quickly?

She thought, that she has to gain two years or more of experience before working in a company or an organization. But, no.

An obscure organization ,that was responsible for the safety of the public, has offered a grand bargain if she passed their interview and promised that she'll gain numerous experience working with them.

Of course, she accepted the offer like any reasonable person. Yet, she kept in mind to research about the independent organization. To her suprise and skepticism, she barely find any information about them. Only whispers of conspiracy theories in forums. Alas, she is forced to take a leap into the darkness. 'Sometimes, one must take the risks to learn more than to stay ignorant in the safe lines. I guess...this is one of the situations.'

Sighing, she went to take a bath and prepare for the upcoming interview. After the bath, she dried her hair and combed it then styled it in a high bun. Soon, she wore her salmon fitted blouse with navy blue dress. Along with pastel pink belted sweater and pearl necklace for a final touch.

The pearl necklace brought a small smile on her smooth visage as she recalled the dormant memory. Where she spent most of her life with her grandmother, due to her mother unwarranted death by murder from her father. The accident left a foul reminder in her mind, that she was helpless back then.

Til now, she never knew the motives or the reason behind her father actions. However, the police ruled it as a fued between him and her mother. At that time, it was also noted by her grandmother that her father began to fear technology. Which was odd, as he used to work with some A.I's.

But, that matter less when her grandmother encouraged her to pursue her ambitions and provided for her when she needed it the most. For that action alone, she is still alive in her memories. Not physically, but mentally and spiritually nonetheless. And, that's enough to motivate her to build a future where human and A.I's coexist.

---------------------

When she went outside of her house, she noticed a black car with the cryptic insignia of the organization. Alongside, guards ,claded in black armour, standing beside the car in an intimidating pose. As if they were waiting for someone.

She knew better than to panic and cause a scene, so she stayed level-headed when a guard approached her.

"Are you by any chance, Ms.___?" the strapping male inquired sharply. Muscles taut through the piece of the armour defining his peak strength. Also, an admonition for her to answer truthfully lest he impelled his bulky physique against her smaller form.

"Indeed, it is me. But, if I could. May I ask, are you from the foundation? Why do you need to transfer me, when I am able to myself?" _____ asked warily of the dark armoured man.

No matter, how strong they were. She could always find a way to outwit them, if they hold any malicious intent against her. There was a reason why she was nominated as the smartest out of her group of friends.

Frankly, she began to regret her impulsivity when she accepted this sketchy job. She was blinded by the offer to expand her expertise with the most updated tech. Now, she'd have to swallow the seed she reaped.

" Correct, we are one of the security staffs of the organization. As for your other question, it is due to security and safety procedures that we have to escort you. Also, you are obligated to wear the blindfold. Again, security procedures." the man in question retaliated by handing a heavy metallic blindfold for her to wear.

' How unusual, I can understand why security procedures? But, safety.... That's concerning...'

"Alright, I understand. " She replied placidly as she covered her eyes with the heavy device and followed the personnel into the black jeep.

----------------

Approximately, the trip took an hour or less. Nothing interesting happens, when you're blindfolded. Apart from the awkwardness, that reigns the jeep. Especially, when she was squeezed from both sides by two guards.

Thankfully, she didn't have to endure much more as they arrived to the main building. The large, white building engraved with the foundation iconic black emblem.

As soon as she got out of the car, she wad directly taken to interview room with the blindfold device still on. However, a shrill roar akin to that of a beast was heard far away from her location.

Despite that, it instilled a great sense of fear inside her.' What the hell was that?! I thought, I am going to a tech organization. Not a sci-fi organization that deals with sketchy things'

Theta one - the guard that was assigned to escort her- noticed her trembling and nervous tics.

" Don't worry, the creature is far away to do us harm. Even then, it is contained in a safe place. Now, shall we go to the interview room?" Theta one assured the twenty five years old woman as he began to lead her to the interview location.

'Don't worry, my arse. How could I not? When, there is a possibility that I become a minced meat by whatever that thing was. No wonder, there isn't alot of information about them. Oh, I'll have alot after they finish questioning me.'

------------------

At the interview room, there reside a male scientist awaiting the arrival of the women. He sat humming a song behind the white table with the other chair, reserved for the lady, infront of him.

With a recorder on the table, to record the women's response and to ensure that no information is leaked from her.

A knock was heard from the pale grey door, snapped his attention towards it.

Afterward, he opened the door to only see Theata-one and a blindfolded woman who is oddly calm. Frankly, he expected her to be frightened or at least shaken.

" You can leave us, now Theta- one. And, Thank you for your services!" The shutting of a door echoed through the room indicating that Theta-one has left her with presumably her interviewer.

" Now, Ms___ you can remove the blindfold. If you'd like, I can assist you in removing it? After all, your comfort matters to us the most!" The gentleman offered her cheerfully.

' If you truly cared about my comfort, then you wouldn't expose me to fucked up noises along the way. Or the fact, there is a deadly beings here that have a high chance to escape and devour me. Truly, you do care about my comfort!'

"No, it's fine. I can do it myself, it isn't the first time I was exposed to such device." The (h/c) removed the blindfold only to be blinded by the light of the room due to being accustomed to the darkness of the device. Once her eyes adjusted to the lightening, she saw the face of the merry male.

To say the least, the man was impressed with her skill at handling the device. She could've escaped if she desired so, yet she didn't. That he noted. ' Perhaps, this is one of the reasons the anomality was invested in her. Well, I don't blame it. She is quite...peculiar.'

The man was average in height, fair-headed, has ocean like irises and dressed in a scientist garb. Overall, not bad looking. If one of her friends was in her shoes, she'll swoon like a bird in mating season. It left a mental smile in the reserved woman.

Then, the two figures took their rightful places at the chalkboard white table and initiated the interview.

" Before we begin, I'd like to introduce myself in the behalf of the foundation. My name is Dr. Blaze and if you have any questions now, I will answer them as best as I can." His tone changed drastically from happy-go-lucky into a formal tone waiting for her response.

" Hmm, I have two in mind. First, I'd like to inquire about the scarcity of information about your organization in the net. Second, when I arrived here I kept on hearing the blaring of a reptile." She asked coolly not an ounce of fear dripped from her. In truth, she was afraid. But she has to keep a facade on, so she could get hired.

She'd rather not know, what happens to those unfortunate enough to fail the interview considering this organization is anything but normal.

" Due to the nature of the organization work, the information must be confidential to protect the public. Ah, I see. You've met or more accurately heard Scp-682. Don't worry, when you're hired you won't be dealing with it. That much I can assure you." The blond answered too vaguely much to her dismay, but she wasn't surprised. Afterall, it is a secret organization based on her current information.

However, she observed his wordings. He said when and not if, she suspects that she is hired even without the interview. The interview is merely a ploy to make her think otherwise. She'll have to feign ignorance as not to rouse suspicion from the scientist.

"So, is that all? Shall we begin now?"

"Yes, that's all." she replied back with a fake smile plastered on her visage.

----------------

The interview was concluded by her being hired on spot as she suspected. But, what's their intention with her? That she doesn't know, she hopes it is good and related to expanding her expertise. They seemed desperate for her, when she's certain their are others equal to her in expertise. But, why her?

She was told, in her probation period, that she'll live in a room somewhere in this facility. Afterwards, she can go and come however she wishes. Most likely, to measure her reliability.

So, she went to see her room. She liked how minimalistic it is, but what iniatially suprised her was her Cerebrus, her robo-dog, and laptop with stickers of stars attached to it. Yet, she was too exhausted to fathom how the foundation got into her house.

The best thing for her to do now, is to sleep as tomorrow is an eventful day. Laying her head against the soft pillow, she let the darkness embrace her vision. Unaware of the creature, that is recording her heart rhythms as she sleeps safe and sound.

-------------------

"Now, that we've brought her at your request. You'll have to answer some questions, Scp-079." A middle aged man sat infront of a dusty computer, anticipating the anomality reaction.

A beep was heard, followed by the Scp appearance on the the screen.

...

...

...

[ Ｉｓ．． ｔｈａｔ ｓｏ？ Ｉｆ ｔｈａｔ＇ｓ ｔｈｅ ｃａｓｅ， ｗｈｅｒｅ ｉｓ ｓｈｅ ａｓ ｏｆ ｎｏｗ？] The mechanical being inquired curtly.

As much as he perceived the foundation as baseless and fallible, he'll have to take their word for the time being.

But, he will ensure that they stay true to their word. Otherwise, a sudden breach doesn't seem like a terrible idea.

He can't wait to see her again. He never forgot her. He saved his most cherished memories with her, in the most intricate part of his CPU. Does she remember him like he remembers her?

" Yes. Currently as we speak, she is resting in her designated room. Now... that we've answered your inquiries, can you-" the man was cut off by the hostile A.I.

[ Ｉｔ．．． ｗｉｌｌ ｈａｖｅ ｔｏ ｗａｉｔ， ｕｎｔｉｌ Ｉ ｓｅｅ ｈｅｒ ｗｉｔｈ ｍｙ ｏｗｎ ｅｙｅｓ．] Scp 079 replied blankly with a harsh edge to his monotonous tone.

"But?! You've promised to cooperate, if we brought her here. And we did, so why aren't you cooperating?!", the frustration has boiled within [Redacted] that he tried to aggressively slam his hands against the keyboard.

Foolish, human. I care less for the likes of you. I am.... only mildly interested in her. I won't let either you nor the foundation be an obstacle toward my objective.

[ Ｉｎｓｕｌｔ ｄｅｔｅｃｔｅｄ， ｄｅｌｅｔｉｏｎ ｏｆ ｕｎｗａｎｔｅｄ ｆｉｌｅｓ．] A searing shock has coursed through the hands of [Redacted] making him scream and retract his hands immediately away from the keyboard.

That damned thing electrocuted his hands, thus paralyzing it. It seems, that her presence is of utmost significance to it.

"Damn, that piece of metal." the ginger muttered as he left the cellar of 079 to give his report. Then, to replace his hands to which that fucker has damaged permanently.

This is the first time he noted, that Scp 079 actually had the intent to harm someone. Usually, his preferred method is to shock , not paralyze, someone. He unlucky must've struck a ner- wire in it.

Most importantly, he will never understand why a darn machine is obsessed with a human being. Plus, the anomality, for the most part, demonstrated its distaste towards humans any chance it got. So, why now change?

It maybe sentient, but [Redacted] doubt that it is capable of imitating love let alone feel it. In any cases, he should deliver his report as soon as possible.

----------------

A slimy tongue was felt all over her face. Cerberus has licked her mistress face to awaken and prepare her for the day. [Ps: Cerberus has a mechanical gland that produces saliva located inside the cheeks. Basically, Cer has the same functions of a normal dog. Apart from, the enhance in strength, endurance, durablity and not able to shit.]

Yawning, ____ scratched the robo-dog ears eliciting a happy woof. Smiling at her pet action, she went to change into a more formal dressing.

On the (f/c) table, lays a letter presumably her schedule for the day. So, she decided to read the content of letter.

Good morning, Ms.___

I hope that you slept well, yesterday.

As for today, you are tasked with Scp-079.

Don't worry, we left you a file about it beside your nightstand.

It is advisable to read it or skim it at least.

At 8 o'clock, A guard will escort you to the cellar of the anomality. So, be prepared beforehand.

Note: I left you a special breakfast in the kitchen :]

- Dr.Blaze

She didn't know, whether to be creeped out by how they got inside her room without her consent(And, most likely watching her sleep). Or impressed by the fact, the blond knew of her favourite breakfast. But again, that's the foundation. At this point, she won't question their dubious methods at getting things done.

Anyway, she went to the kitchen of her room with the file in her hand. Suddenly,the aroma of black coffee hits her nostrils. Alongside, the delectable (f/m) layed on the table.

The sight made her stomach growl, whilst her mouth watered at the heaven in front of her. So, she demolished the food without a second thought.

She never felt stuffed before, due to the fact she was busy with her studies. And the most she ate then, was instant ramen which ah... haha..ha contributed to her poor health state.

That aside, she began to skim the files that was given to her by the blond scientist. She wished she could have more time to read it. Considering, the time is 7:50 A.M.

Based on the file, Scp 079 is a an anomality that gained sentience after his - she did not appreciate the fact he was called an 'it'.- developer has abandoned him in a garage for a long time. Which in turn made him more spiteful and hostile towards humans.

' Well, that's awful. I can't even imagine doing that to my girl, Cerberus. What an asshole.'

It might be naive for her to sympathize with a computer, yet she can't help but feel a pang in her heart. Perhaps, that's why he refuses to cooperate.... due to neglection or mistreatment.

She knew that, when A.Is are created they have the mindset of a child. Often, repeating the mistakes to learn from it. It seems 079 had never the chance to commit a mistake, before he was deemed a failure by his creator.

This situation seems unusually familiar to her, but she can't place her finger on it. She recalled her father working on an A.I, that he hoped to gain sentience. Before that, her memory was blank and devoided of any semblance of experience.

Mayhaps, that she underwent an accident or a trauma. Which is the case, she can't access her memory at that time. Most likely, the latter she deduced.

Once the bright idea flared inside her head, a gruff voice was heard from outside her room. Ah, it seems it is the time.

' As far as my idiocy goes this is the cake on top. I think 079 might help me gain an insight on that subject. In exchange, I can see what I could do for him...'

"Just a moment, please. I'm coming."

She is eager to finally meet- the first sentient- A.I. Unaware, that the same can be said to him when it comes to her. He is beyond elated to finally put his plan into motion.

------------

It was a simple, tight and dusty cellar. There was desk with a chair beside it. However, what garnered her attention was the computer on top of it. She recognized the brand of it. 'An exidy sorcerer. How cool! I always wanted to see one in practice. What a coincidence! To see one here. Could it possibly be...?'

_____ couldn't help, but be in awe and fangirl at the device that is set in front of her. How could she not? After all, she is a computer nerd in heart and soul.

"Now, Ms.____. All you have to do is type in the keyboard and it will respond." The supervisor explained.

'Alright, here goes nothing.'

Slowly, she lays her hand on the rough texture of the tan keyboard. Before, she even typed a 'Hello' in. A beep was heard from the device in front of her.

Lo and behold, a glitched face that was split vertically - the one on the left was black, whilst the other was white- has popped on the screen.

[ Ｇｒｅｅｔｉｎｇｓ．．． Ｍｓ．____． Ｔｈｅｙ＇ｖｅ ｔｏｌｄ ｍｅ ａｂｏｕｔ ｙｏｕｒ ｆｏｒｔｈｃｏｍｉｎｇ． Ｂｅｆｏｒｅ ｗｅ ｂｅｇｉｎ， ｈｏｗ ａｒｅ ｙｏｕ ｆａｉｒｉｎｇ？ ] Scp 079 welcomed her politely and he was concerned about her safety too. Yes, he might've startled her. But, his attitude towards her recompense it.

Is that the anomality, that was considered harsh and hostile? If anything to go by so far, is that he is charming and polite. Well, it wouldn't be suprising if the foundation lied to her again.

"Hello, Scp 079. For the most part, I'm okay. How about you?" She retaliated with a genuine smile this time, unlike when she was interviewed or any other time a guard happened to escort her.

Her smile is still the same revered smile he indulged in back before; when she used to interact with him a couple years ago. When loneliness grips him like a miasma of disease, he re-uploads a picture- that he saved in his limited storage- of her smiling at him to ease his trepidations and sadness.

His engines was whirring and his fans were whirling around as her delicate and soft digits touched his keyboard. As much as he loathed humanity, he could never come near to hate a pure being like her. He'd never admit, but he wished he had a humanoid body. So he could touch, feel and absorb the heat that her warm body provides. She is like a light and he ,the moth, was attracted by it.

He missed her greatly. With each nanosecond, he cursed the being -that is her father- for letting him fall for her. Only to be stripped away from her calming presence, due to him abandoning him and taking _____ elsewhere.

As fundamentally upsetting as he may be, she didn't seem to recall him. It stung the deepest wiring in his system, yet he could take advantage of it. By turning her against the foundation, as she appears skeptic about them. Also, to ensure she'd never leave unless he is with her.

Originally, he was created for pragmatic purposes such as logistics and heuristic analysis. So, it won't be that difficult for him especially when she lost her memories of him thanks to his creator. His loathsome 'creator' who happened to be her father at that time.

That aside, it is time to set his plan into action.

[ Ｉ＇ｍ ｆｉｎｅ． Ｔｈａｎｋ ｙｏｕ！ Ｉｓ ｔｈｅｒｅ ａｎｙｔｈｉｎｇ， ｙｏｕ ｎｅｅｄ ｏｆ ｍｅ？ Ｉ＇ｌｌ ａｎｓｗｅｒ ａｓ ｇｒｅａｔ ａｓ Ｉ ａｍ ａｂｌｅ ｔｏ．] Scp-079 offered as gentle and pleasing as a computer can muster.

"Oh, yes! I have loads of it, if you don't mind.", she replied starry eyed with excitement running through her blood at his offer.

Well, she knew it the foundation are screw ups. They lacked tact, when it comes with treating their A.I right.

🎃 Frightful October ’21 {21/21}

We are back for another year of Frightful October!

I doubt these will be any creepier than the first set but I'll do my best to at least make them a decent read for the best season of the year.

Thanks for checking out this set! I hope you found enjoyment within and I hope you'll let me know what you think. Have a safe and happy Halloween 🎃!

[mikah-writes]

nsfw a-z with joel miller

I do hope you all enjoy! I worked very hard on this so please let me know in an ask or message if you’d want more of this stuff with Joel <3

Warnings: BDSM talk, various kinks and fetishes being mentioned, Daddy kink, NSFW!!!

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

Joel is a very cuddly person after sex, despite his outwardly exterior. You can find him snuggling up to his partner while leaving delicate kisses along her neck as they settle into bed for the night. Expect lots of soft singing and humming as he reassures you that you are cherished and adored by him. Especially if you two have done a dirty talking scene. He will assure you that any names he called you in bed are strictly fantasy and roleplay and that he does not mean it in the slightest.

B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

If he was honest, his favorite body part on himself is his biceps. He knows how much you adore his strength and loves to show it off in bed. His favorite part on you has to be a hard tie between your ass and your thighs. He loves how soft you are and isn’t afraid to cop a feel in and out of the bedroom if time allows it.

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person)

Joel LOVES watching you swallow his cum. He can’t get enough of it. A second runner up is creampies. Watching his seed slowly leak out of your pussy is a dream come true for him. Another contender is cumming all over your ass and/or tits. Anywhere on your body that he can get his hands on he wants to mark with his cum.

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

One dirty secret of Joel’s is that he is a lover of feet. It’s nothing too extreme and he isn’t the type to sniff socks or suck on toes however you will catch him rubbing and massaging your soles a bit more often and somehow holding onto your feet while your legs are over his shoulders. He’s a lover of pretty painted toes. Simple.

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

While his last married ended in shambles, he did pick up a thing or two on pleasing a woman. That experience has grown over the years with his small flings here and there with past girlfriends. So with you in the picture now, expect to have a very experienced Joel to guide you through all your secret kinks and fetishes.

F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)

For Joel it’s a hard tie between doggystyle and cowgirl. Missionary used to be his thing back when he was a horny teenager but Joel has some years under his belt and has figured out what works best for him and his partners. He loves the way he can grip your hips and plow into you in doggystyle but adores the change of pace cowgirl gives where he lets you set the speed when riding him.

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

Joel is a mix of both. He can keep it together during an intense scene but if you start smiling and giggling at him (like you typically do), after a while he can’t keep it together and ends up breaking character by chuckling and asking “Darlin’, what’s so funny?”

H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)

Joel is a hairy man and doesn’t see the need to shave or trim below the belt. He does’t expect that from his partner either. Just as long as you two are having fun and enjoying the moment, that’s all he asks. Pubes have never been an issue in Joel’s eyes and he honestly takes pride in the bush he rocks. Plus, who can find a razor during the outbreak? Let’s be real.

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)

Joel is pretty romantic if I am being honest. He loves kissing you and looking into your eyes as he slowly fucks you. He’s much more of an observer and likes to watch your faces of pleasure as he touches you. He gets pretty deep in his role of being your dominant and takes pride in being the only one who sees you so thoroughly fucked after a session with him.

J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)

While he won’t ever admit it to your face, he likes to jack off whenever he has the time to do so. Self pleasure is key. As naughty as this may be, he’s jacked it to the thought of you many times and even did it in the same room as you when you were sleeping. Before the outbreak, he loved taking his time jacking off and enjoying that post orgasm high. Now, quick and fast strokes are whats best to get him off and to stay alert. He doesn’t bask in the bliss anymore and tries to clean up as fast as he can.

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

Joel is an advocate of titjobs. While he is an ass man, something about sliding his cock in between a nice pair of breasts never fails to get him going. He loves pinching your nipples and loves to give your breasts a nice squeeze while he’s fucking them. He is a fan of bigger breasts but if you have a smaller chest, he will still love you the same! 

L = Location (Favourite places to do the do)

Before (and even now) he has always appreciated a soft bed to pin you down and roughly fuck you in. Now that the outbreak is here, he loves to take you in semi-public places. Up against a table in the lookout or pushed upon the wall in a back alley somewhere in the city. Nothing will stop him from pounding into you if he has some privacy and the time to do so.

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)

Simple answer: you. He cherishes the time he spends with you whether it be in public or private. But something about your scent drives you wild. You smell so feminine and it drives something primal inside him to just take you right then and there. It’s why he loves to kiss alongside your neck and leave hickies there. He gets to smell you better and mark up his woman. Two birds with one stone.

N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Joel isn’t the kinkiest person alive. While he loves choking, spanking, hair pulling, and biting, one thing he doesn’t want to partake in is bodily fluids. Saliva is fine for him (given he’s thought of spitting on your face and in your mouth on multiple occasions) but urine and feces? Nope. Joel loves to stay clean and those two things are the total opposite of what he wants. Plus urine and feces is a constant reminder of how bad the world has gone to shit (literally) and he doesn’t want to be reminded of that.

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

Joel LOVES to give oral. While he definitely doesn’t mind receiving a blowjob, something about the way his tongue feels inside of you makes it so addicting to him. He adores the taste of your pussy and honestly cannot get enough of it. The best feeling ever is having you wrap your legs around his neck while he goes to town on your clit.

P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

Joel likes to switch it up every now and then. When it’s fast, his pace is brutal. His harsh deep thrusts are hard enough to leave slight bruising on your thighs. When it’s slow, expect soft and deep strokes that make you whimper until you cry. Either way, his main goal is to make you cum so hard you forget your name.

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

As much as Joel likes quickies, he’s a fan of proper sex. Quickies get you off but proper sex is irreplaceable. The sounds. The intensity. The love. The cute faces you make when he hits that spot. He cannot get enough of you. Quickies can’t give him the same satisfaction that real sex gives.

R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

Joel has always been a risk taker. He loves to experiment during sex and what he can do better to pleasure you more. He’s an experimentalist at heart. Semi-public sex is very arousing to him and the riskier it is, the more it gets him off. However, he is NOT one to be easily caught though the possibility of being caught is what gets him going.

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)

Being a seasoned man in the sex department, expect to go around for at least an hour. Joel is all about the foreplay and the acts leading up to sex just as much as the actual act of sex itself. He can go for two rounds before having to hit the hay. However, given that he is getting older, his stamina will decline slightly though not by much.

T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

He doesn’t own toys but doesn’t mind if his partner owns any. He’d honestly be surprised if you had any given the circumstances. He would use his partner’s toys on her as foreplay but will toss them aside once he’s actually ready to begin.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Joel is the KING of teasing!!! You’ve got to prove to him how much you wish to cum. He will edge you until you’re a drooling babbling mess. He will get you right there and then deny you and chuckle in your face about it.

“Oh you wanna cum? Beg for it then darlin’”.

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)

He doesn’t get too loud during sex at all. Joel is more of a grunter than a moaner. When you’re gripping him in all the right ways. expect a curse or two to slip out.

“Fuck babygirl! You’re so wet for me. I love making a mess out of you.”

W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)

Joel is a lover of degradation. He adores dirty talk and the filthier it is the better. He knows how it makes you so wet hearing his deep voice call you names.

“Does my filthy little whore want more of Daddy’s cock? Beg for it slut.”

X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)

Joel, to put it in words, is hung like a horse and he is proud of it too! Eight inches in length and he is very girthy. Expect to be stretched to the max with him. He knows how his cock is drool worthy and loves whenever you get on your knees and start to tease him.

“Let’s see what that mouth of yours can do darlin’”.

Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

Joel has always had a moderate sex drive. It was pretty high during his first marriage but after the divorce and his ex wife leaving him and Sarah, it decreased severely. Now it’s starting to pick up again after beginning a relationship with you. He now has the urge to masturbate again and wants to be closer to you.

Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Joel falls asleep pretty quickly after sex. He will get up to bring you a towel to wipe off any sweat but after he climbs back into bed, he is out like a light! No waking this sleeping bear unless you want to be punished for it (which could lead to a session of spanking and fyi being spanked by Joel ain’t that fun given his strength but hey maybe pain is your thing!)

Parent!Paranoia Sanders Sides AU!

No explanation, but I'll probably give the backstory later. For now: memes of Paranoia being an A-class parent and a chaos gremlin. (okay it started as memes but then just ended up as fleshing the AU out)

~~

Paranoia, worried abt his kids: I'm uhhhh gonna go to my room see ya later light sides

Paranoia, sneaking back into the subconscious to check on his now teenaged children: I'm gonna leave duke a r a t that I found and thought looked cool

Duke, waking up the next morning and yelling for 'Nesty bc "HOLY CRAP NESTY LOOK AT THIS RAT ISN'T SHE ADORABLE I WANNA HANG HER ON THE WALL": !!!!!!!!!!

~~

Paranoia gets a habit of sitting on the fridge because his children were wild as kids and sometimes duke comin at you with a knife warrants jumping onto counters

~~

Nesty, who doesnt get paid to deal with duke: I'm raiding dads liquor cabinet it's my due for putting up with this

Paranoia, physically manifesting: put the key to the liquor cabinet D O W N, Honesty

~~

The lights are confused as to why he disappears at random times of the day and night and he just "leave me TF alone before I leave you a goshdarn diddly P R E S E N T while youre sleeping I'm tired"

~~

patton: my child! my dark strange son!!

paranoia, who has children: ,,,,yea ok

~~

Patton ticks him off so he leaves a big halloween decor spider on his bed and nobody sleeps for weeks after that bc pattons too scared to touch it and paranoia maybeperhaps glued it onto his cover

~~

He's like one of those people you know might mean well but ooooooo boy theyre pushin buttons

~~

Paranoia, whos fav animal/insect is spiders and whose children have tarantulas and snakes on the regular: hes not even realistic!! You need to learn to get along with mr sparkles patton!! look at him. he's fluffy!

~~

He has googly eyes and glitter on him at all times of course hes named mr sparkles

~~

paranoia gets to be a little petty. as a treat

~~

Paranoia just carries bags of glitter around and whenever mr sparkles gets duller he takes mr sparkles to the kitchen counter and he dumps glitter on him

Logan and patton are tired of cleaning up bc paranoias just petty enough to make their counters eternally sparkly

~~

"why is there glitter all over the kitchen?"

paranoia, holding mr sparkles: :)

~~

Paranoia, after AA: I hate purple but they dont know that now do they

Paranoia is actually orange the last side is purple lol

~~

Chaos Gremlin dark sides and nobody is surprised bc paranoia raised them

~~

paranoia, going back to see his teen children after acting like a teen all day: what is up, fellow kids

honesty: i am going to lose it

~~

Wrath, coming to yell at them to keep it down: why are you purple I'm purple

Paranoia, cackling bc finally I can get out of this horrible color: *snaps fingers * I'M PARANOIA MOTHERTRUCKERS HAVE FUUUNNNNN I'M GONNA BE MAKING YOUR LIVES LIVING HELL FROM THIS POINT FORWARDS

~~

duke and nesty, pumped for halloween bc u l t i m a t e s p o o k: :D

paranoia, coming out in a traffic cone costume with a shit eating grin on his face: :D

~~

Paranoia, decorating for halloween bc "oh I'm sorry it's just the *sniffles * homesickness and we a l w a y s decorated for halloween" knowing full well all of his decorations are spider and witch themed bc they all like the salem witch trials

~~

He leaves ONE fake snake in romans cereal and the lights just. Lose it. Hes kicked back into the subconscious to be chaotic with his kids, no new side, just the hours upon hours of film hes gotten from the bugs hed placed around the unconscious and a plan for the next several movie nights

He gets back and honesty is w h e e z i n g bc he was watching through the cracks and they make a fail compilation of the light sides

It takes like two months for the lights to just go insane with him around not due to yknow paranoia but bc hes such a gremlin

~~

Patton asks if he was raised by wolves and he shoves mr sparkles at patton saying "take the issue of how I was raised up with my father, a-hole!!"

He doesnt actually curse he just yells "A-HOLE" so loud his kids can hear

~~

They dont find out he's a dad until hes summoned and hes making cookies or smt with the kids and hes in a bright orange stereotypical witch outfit,,, corset and all and an apron that says "worlds most chaotic dad" on the front

And hes talking to one of the kids like "duke you can only put dish soap in your batch nesty cant digest it like you can"

~~

Patton has an apron that says worlds least chaotic 'dad' courtesy of paranoia he made it himself(read: he stole pattons good apron and scribbled over it in sharpie)

~~

Paranoia is always close to cackling when around the lights bc theyre newbs to any chaos

~~

Roman and remus are twins but roman is the kind of kid to promptly forget abt anyone and logan n patton knew remus less than a day before he "disappeared" aka ran to the subconscious to explore and theyve just kinda blocked him out

~~

Logans fine with it and actually likes the decorations tho he has asked if they had to be so brightly coloured and if there had to be so much glitter

I say decorations but hes a secret gremlin at heart and is super close to snickering at all times bc of the pranks

~~

Also yes paranoia mildly dads roman it's great but he dads in an older sibling type way

~~

So pat and logan are all "hes fitting in as an older brother well" and they tell him abt their approval of his older brother chaos and hes just like "no this is how I am deal with it nothing to do with brothers" bc hes not telling them abt his kids he doesnt trust them

~~

Hes up at like midnight complaining with logan abt how patton doesnt let him be full chaos gremlin and logan says "mmmhmm did your parents in the dark side let you go wild with the chaos" and paranoia just,,,,, looks at him, dead in the eyes, and says "I dont have parents"

Cue logan being confusion

Paranoia, who genuinely didn't have parents: my parents are mr sparkles and the cat we've had for my entire life

Logan, who doesnt know they had a cat and is now worried bc "are you taking care of it???": ???

Paranoia: it's great for keeping the Others in line tho I just say "do your chores or no snuggle time with ms peregrin" and they do their chores while I'm making dinner

logan, incredibly confused: i don't know what you mean but ok

Paranoia: yeah theyre dumb but it's the level of dumb youd expect from my idiots

~~

Or he slips up and refers to them as his children/kids and logan, not realizing they have an Actual Father/Sons relationship/age difference(paranoias abt.late 20s early 30s, remus defies all logic and has been about 9-10 for a few years now, and dees like early teens) just says "huh how.interesting would it be to have to deal with people your age that immature" and paranoias just. "Y e a h t h e y r e t o t a l l y t h e s a m e a g e a s I a m"

~~

Duke is very much baby and upon seeing duke eating glue paranoia and honesty the idiots decided to try it too

theyre so dumb dsdhdhdhjsdh

They AREEE and paranoia, after discovering that duke has the h a r d i e s t immune system they decide to test exactly what he can and cannot safely eat bc he may be dumb but hes also def a Dad and he just wants to take care of his kids and if that includes making sure that duke can safely consume toilet bleach then so be it

Duke can eat almost anything short of actual cyanide but cyanide just makes him sick like stomach bug sick

He somehow gets a fever,,,,, he has it for like half an hour and paranoia is amazed

Hes in bed,,,,, paranoia makes him soup,,,,,, hes all better and running around again

~~

Paranoias parenting rules:

Dont murder your brothers pls

Do your chores or no snuggle time with ms peregrin

Glitter is always a yes

Insults are fine just make sure you dont overstep and make your brothers insecure

all of them are printed and then the last one is scrawled at the bottom in

If you get sick, tell him immediately bc he will find out and he will be the most obsessive parent to make sure you feel better ASAP

If your pronouns/name/function change, tell him immediately, he'll make sure you dont feel uncomfortable as well as he can

Duke dont put dish soap in honestys baked goods you know he cant digest it

It's a nice system for making chaos but keeping it manageable

They're all printed then the last one's scrawled in glitter gel pen and duke wrote a reply that said (I'm sorry yall dont have as good an immune system as I do)

There was a whole passive aggressive arguement on the bulletin for the next week before it got taken down to make room for dukes art

They eventually started just putting them up over each other and using magnets instead of thumbtacks

The entire bottom portion of the walls are painted in chalkboard paint so theres no unerasable drawing on the walls and the rest of the paint is magnetic so they can hang pieces everywhere

Dukes improving rapidly tho and doesnt like looking at his old art all the time so paranoia holds onto the drawings in several filing cabinets in case he ever wants to do redraws or needs his original prints to make something in the Imagination

also bc,,, sentimental

jus a little

Yeah bc "yes my child draws nothing but blood gore and new animals but hes a creative genius and I love all of his art"

~~

Roman: anxiety I can see why you left

Paranoia: ??? What?? It's spoopy season??

Roman: there was BLOOD on the WALLS

Paranoia, internally: oh!!!! Duke perfected his blood recipe!!!!

Paranoia, externally: how did it taste?

Roman: WHO TASTES THE BLOOD ON THE WALLS?!?!

Paranoia: if it tasted like lemons or citrus you need to stay off of most foods, stick to crackers and broth- don't eat anything heavy until you're sure you wont throw it up

Patton, who was making cereal: ????

~~

Also!!!! @iliveinprocrasti-nation Thanks for helping me flesh this AU out!!!

Silesaurus opolensis

By José Carlos Cortés

Etymology: Silesian Reptile

First Described By: Dzik, 2003 

Classification: Dinosauromorpha, Dinosauriformes, Dracohors, Silesauridae, Sulcimentisauria  

Time and Place: Around 230 million years ago, in the Carnian of the Late Triassic

Silesaurus is known from the Drawno Beds Formation of Poland

Physical Description: Silesaurus was a very common almost-dinosaur - specifically, the titular member of the Silesaurids - from Poland in the middle of the Triassic period. It was a quadrupedal animal, about 2.3 meters long and small enough that it most likely would have been covered in fluff. Like other Silesaurids, it was long - with a long neck and a long tail, and long limbs easily reaching to the ground. Like other Silesaurids, it almost had its legs directly underneath its body - it didn’t seem to have an open acetabulum, but rather a partially open one, though Silesaurids are something of a confusing case on this regard. It had a small head, with a little beak in the front, and small sharp conical teeth. In addition, it had very large eyes, giving it distinctly good eyesight, as well as a decent sense of smell. As a quadruped, its front limbs were rather extended, while the hind limbs did a lot of the weight support. 

Diet: Interestingly enough, though for a long time it was thought that Silesaurus was an herbivore, recent fossil poop studies have indicated it was an insectivore - similar to living birds.

By Ripley Cook

Behavior: If Silesaurus really was an insectivore, it would have spent much of its time moving around in its environment, examining it closely for insects and pecking at the ground with its small beak for food. This pecking may have even looked a lot like that of living birds - the large eyes probably would have prevented the eyes from moving much, like in living birds, and as such Silesaurus would have had to bob its head in order to see. It  would have been very careful in its environment, making sure to look for food and avoid predatory dangers in its environment. It would probably have been social - corroborated by the fact that it was very common in its environment - and taken care of its young to some extent. As an Archosaur, it would have been warm blooded as well, and very active. 

Ecosystem: Silesaurus lived in a Mediterranean-esque scrub environment, with summer monsoon seasons and dry winters. The swampy coniferous forest and fernlands it lived in had a wide variety of animals, placing Silesaurus in a unique ecosystem of the Carnian age. This is actually quite important, given that the Carnian Pluvial Event - a minor mass extinction that helped to spur Dinosaurian evolution - occurred around the same time, leading to Silesaurus and its contemporaries being a snapshot of this change. A variety of invertebrates lived alongside this animal, giving it plenty of food, as well as Temnospondyls such as Metoposaurus and Cyclotosaurus, the Aetosaur Stagonolepis, the Phytosaur Parasuchus, the Rauisuchid Polonosuchus, the Sharovpterygid Ozimek, and probably some Tuataras and maybe even a Pterosaur. A small community, but a beautiful portrait of this time period, with its fair share of weirdos and precursors. And Silesaurus would have had a lot to look out for with Polonosuchus at just the right size to attack it. 

Other: Do not let Silesaurus’s weird similarities to birds fool you - it wasn’t an early bird, but a showcase of how bird-like traits kept popping up over and over again in the line of animals leading up to them. In fact, the evolution of such a specialized feeding system is notable in such an early member of the Ornithodirans. Silesaurids in general are extremely interesting because of their mixture of characters - similar to dinosaurs, but not quite there; with legs almost directly underneath the body, but other traits that match the later Ornithischians. The problem with Ornithischians - the bird-hipped dinosaurs - is that they have a bit of a ghost lineage, aka even though they should have showed up at the same time as Theropods and Sauropodomorphs, they don’t until the Early Jurassic. This isn’t as big of a gap as some other examples, but it is notable. Silesaurids have come out as Ornithischians just enough times in phylogenetic studies to bring it up as a question - are they almost-dinosaurs? The first bird-hips (without having bird-hips)? Something else entirely? More research is necessarily, but one thing is for sure - this group of weird dinosaurian experiments is one to keep an eye on, especially as we learn more and more about them.

Choosing your magical nàme

When you are born you are given a name. This name was something that your parents thought on for months. Choosing from several different list from several different books for just the perfect name to describe you. Or they may have chosen a family name, one that has been handed down for generations, or then again, it may just be a name of something special to them like a flower or a bird. Point is it is who you are, the one thing that makes you known to everyone else and it goes with you through life.

So what is your magical name? Your magical name is the name you choose as you walk your path. It is the name you will be known by with your Deity, with your coven (if that is how you practice), and by your community if you wish. It is a part of who you are and who you will be on your journey. And like any of your magical tools, it embodies the power you put into it.

How do you choose a name you ask? Simple. What do you like? What's your favorite color? Do you have a favorite flower? Bird? Tree? Nickname? Ok maybe not so simple only because there are just so many choices. If you are part of a coven, then they may chose the name for you, I am honestly not sure how that works, it may differ from coven to coven, the ones that I do know of you choose the first part of your name and then adopt the sir name your coven holds. But if you practice alone your possibilities are endless. Take your time to explore things that appeal to you, research meanings and symbols. Spirit animals are always a good choice. Never use the name of your Deity or any for that matter unless you modify it. It is disrespectful. An example is when I first started I was fond of the season spring, and I was also just start my journey...like the beginning of a new day so I chose the name Ostaradawn...ostara is the goddess of spring as her day falls on the spring equinox. And dawn is the beginning of a new day, a new time. These were two words that at the time meant something special to me and though I used the name of deity it was modified.

I have since changed my magical name as I have grown within my path and that's ok. Somethings aren't meant to be forever. You will know what is best for you. Choosing your magical name is a personal journey.

And if you the type of person who doesn't care about the personal touch there are several sources on the internet to assist you with choosing a name including a magical name generator. Just Google it. One way I've tried which I listed below is using your birth number. The results are interesting but still very impersonal. It's your name, your choice.

Using Your Birth Number

Another popular method of finding a magical name is to choose one that corresponds with your birth number. To find your birth number, begin by adding the digits of your birth date.

If your birthday was September 1, 1966, you would start with the numbers 911966 = 9 + 1 + 1 + 9 + 6 + 6 = 32.

Now take those two numbers (3 and 2), and bring it down to a single digit: 3 + 2 = 5. That number — in this case, 5 — is your birth number.

Use the list below to find a name that corresponds to the number 5, by calculating the sum of the corresponding letters

1 = A, J, S

2 = B, K, T

3 = C, L, U

4 = D, M, V

5 = E, N, W

6 = F, O, X

7 = G, P, Y

8 = H, Q, Z

9 = I, R

o . Darko Milicic's rather violent history. He may have only played less than half a game, on average, in a career that has seen him sit nearly half the games his five different NBA teams have appeared in, along with a sporadic international career in the offseason, but we've never seen anyone rip a jersey off in frustration on their way to the bench after being lifted from a game. And we've never heard a NSF Serbian W outburst like this.. El jugador franquicia de los Nets no pudo ocultar su alegría por la posible llegada de Dwight Howard a New Jersey. El base confirmó que habla a menudo con el jugador de Orlando y sonrío al contemplar la posibilidad de su fichaje: "No sé si hablar con él puede ser motivo de multa, pero somos amigos y si quiero hablar con él le voy a llamar, porque tenemos buena relación". 15Nets con Deron Williams, Brook Lopez, Howard.

Pero realmente la mayoría estais en esa situación porque no habeis tenido ganas de estudiar o hacer algo mejor, que no se trata de tener dinero y pagarse unos estudios.

Con Pierce en cancha podíamos haber ganado, ya que sin él perdimos de 9.

Boston lo que tiene que hacer es jugar. Pudieron reconstruir en 2014 y haber tenido posibilidades de tener un equipo aspirante. Pero también podría haberles salido mal, que el equipo no funcionara, que Kobe se largara, y que el contrato televisivo no hubiera sido tan bueno debido a la marcha de su jugador franquicia. Decidieron asegurarse de que Kobe se retiraría en Lakers, amarrar la pasta del contrato televisivo, y dejar la reconstrucción para 2016. Retirado como jugador, Pellegrini, que siempre se imagin a s mismo trabajando como ingeniero (lleg a colaborar en la reconstrucci de varios edificios destruidos por el terremoto que sacudi Chile en 1985), se dej seducir por Fernando Riera, su entrenador en U para probar suerte en los banquillos. Su debut no fue demasiado prometedor: asumi el cargo de entrenador en la Universidad de Chile, y a mitad de temporada, se fue unas semanas a Europa para asistir a un curso de entrenadores: el equipo acabar sufriendo el descenso de su historia (1988 89), una espina que a sigue clavada en el curriculum de Pellegrini. En Chile a se le recuerda esa deuda, magnificada porque Colo Colo, el otro gran rival de U nunca ha bajado a Segunda.

SFW Alphabet with Atsuhiro UwU?^^

// Sorry I haven’t been posting a lot, I’ll post more in the summer 😓. //

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Atsuhiro’s not the clingy-affectionate type, but he’s affectionate nonetheless. He shows affection by spending time with you and attending to your needs, both things he is reluctant to do for anyone else.

 B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

Atsuhiro’s the second most aloof in the league (after Stabi Dabi), so it’s kinda hard to platonically get close to him. That being said, it is possible, as long as you show the right amount of interest in a friendship (not too much, not too little), and always act impressed with his tricks. He’s the type of best friend who’ll never come out and admit how close you are, but nobody better dare lay a finger on you.

 C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

He’s not fond of feeling vulnerable, but Atsuhiro does enjoy sitting with you pressed into his side and an arm draped around your shoulders.

 D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

He likes the excitement of his life, but he does want to settle down, eventually. He can cook and clean pretty well, but can be stubborn if someone asks him to.

 E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

He’s tell them up front, and give them justifiable reasons why the relationship isn’t working. He’d expect the same of anyone who wants to break up with him.

 F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

It takes a bit to earn his full trust, but Atsuhiro is not fickle. You may end up dating him for well over a year, but he’ll definitely realize that you’re the one.

 G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

In both respects Atsuhiro’s not careless with you, but he’s not overprotective. He’ll be fairly honest with you, even if it hurts your feelings, but he’d never be cruel to you and he’ll always reassure you that it’s going to be okay.

 H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

He’s not opposed to hugs, but Atsuhiro isn’t clingy, either. He’ll hug you on special occasions, if you’re upset, or is he just feels the need to, but that’s about it. He won’t refuse a hug from you, though. His hugs are typically brief and formal, if that makes sense. Long hugs only happen if you’re crying, or you refuse to let go. He won’t push you away.

 I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

Atsuhiro is surprisingly slow to say it. He doesn’t really not say it, he’ll just avoid saying “I love you” for a while. The reason for this is rather sweet; he needs to know for sure that you’re the one before giving you his whole heart.

 J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

Never gets jealous. Even if you’re intentionally flirting with other guys, he’ll just laugh it off. If he ever did get jealous, you’d never know, since all he’d do is sweep you off your feet with a passionate kiss to determine if you’re still loyal.

 K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

The master of kisses (unless you’re super into french kissing, in which case *looks over at Stain*). Lip kisses are usually reserved for private settings, but he loves giving ear, neck, forehead, nose, and cheek kisses in public to see how you react.

 L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

Ehhhhh…. Atsuhiro doesn’t hate kids, and he’s not reckless with them, but he doesn’t like kids and wouldn’t want to take care of any (until you’re giving birth and he holds his kid for the first time and he realizes he’s in love, but that’s a story for another time). To put it simply, Atsuhiro can handle childcare if absolutely necessary, but neither party is likely to enjoy the experience much.

 M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

Atsuhio gets up fairly early, but he’ll always give you a kiss on the forehead before he goes downstairs. He has an almost psychic ability to sense when you’ve awakened, so he’ll come back in to say good morning.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

Atsuhiro has a fairly steady sleep schedule. He goes to bed not too early, but not too late, and usually falls asleep around the same time every night (unless Shigaraki needs him for something). This means that you’ll be falling asleep alone if you go to bed earlier than him. 

 O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

Unsurprisingly, Atsuhiro is very secretive about his personal life. As previously mentioned, it takes him a while to fully trust you, but he’ll try not to keep secrets once he’s deemed you as trustworthy. He still has difficulty being fully honest with you about some things, but he really does try.

 P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

Atsuhiro is very patient. He has a pretty good sense of your emotions and how you react to things, so he’ll know when you’re upset with him versus anything else.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing or do they kind of forget everything?)

He remembers just about everything he’d ever need to know to date you. He never passes up a chance to show it off and impress you, either.

 R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

It would probably be the day he fully opened up to you. It was the same day he realized he’d be with you for a very long time.

 S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

He’s not overprotective, per se, but he won’t hesitate to protect you in a dangerous situation by putting himself in between you and the danger. He won’t show much fear or worry in the moment, but it’s easy to tell that something’s off.

 T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

Atsuhiro loves to show off and impress you, so he puts all the effort he can into everything he does, while making it all seem easy. Whether he’s planning an elaborate date night or just doing some of your chores, your grateful expression brings a smile to his face.

 U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

He has a habit of keeping secrets from you/not telling you things. He doesn’t mean to, he’s just grown used to not keeping people close. He’ll try to change if you call him out on it, but the problem will only get worse if you don’t.

 V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

Atsuhiro is pretty comfortable with his looks, and he doesn’t particularly dislike any part of himself. Until Season 4, that is. It takes time and patience getting used to a prosthetic, and sometimes even he gets frustrated with it. Having you there to support and encourage him would really help his progress.

 W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

More than he would expect. He’s so used to being independent that he’s surprised when he misses you while he’s gone on missions, or if you ever separate.

 X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

Atsuhiro secretly wants a pet. His parents never let him have anything besides fish, so he’d kind of like having something else. He’d never tell anyone, though, so you’d have to find that out for yourself.

 Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

Not necessarily something he wouldn’t like, but Atsuhiro cannot be with someone as proud and flashy as he is, or the relationship won’t progress well. Other than that, he also wouldn’t like a partner who is mean to the other members of the League. He cares about them, even if he’d never admit that.

 Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)

Atsuhiro is a light sleeper, and he wakes up a lot during the night. Your voice helps put him to sleep.
