Here's some webcomics that are easier to get into
I've been reading webcomics for more than twenty years. Along the way, I've seen a lot of them die, a few of them thrive, and some absolute bangers.
Most of these have a beginning, middle and end. All of them are good right from the start. Some of them have great art, some have great stories, some have both. The ongoing ones have working RSS.
The Sea In You - What if the little mermaid was a lesbian who knew sign language? Great art and a great story.
Infernal Relations (ongoing) - Hell is an office, literally. A gay romance between an angel and a demon, thwarted by hellish office politics. The world is humorous, but the story is dramatic. One of Tab Kimpton's many queer-centric romance comics, all available on the same site but all telling independent stories.
Puppeteer - a beautifully illustrated and fascinating story about a man who is friends with a possession demon. He is so disconnected from life that he decides to become one too, but is reluctant to use his powers and instead continues to drift through the world.
Spare Keys for Strange Doors - a humorous paranormal investigation series about a middle-aged British couple who solve problems that normal detectives can't handle. A mix of touching moments, witty dialogue, and fascinating but close-to-the-chest worldbuilding. Starts out fairly breezy, but the final story Keep Digging is intense.
Think Before You Think - a touching and funny story about a man who can read minds, the people closest to him, and the struggles of trying to have a romantic relationship when one person knows everything about the other. His abilities have made him an incredibly caring and understanding person, because he's seen it all and can't be shocked any more.
Twenty-Seven - a 27-year-old guitarist who can't play any more seeks the help of a mad scientist with the ability to summon... something powerful. But 27 is the age when rock legends die, and the bargain he makes is a dangerous one.
There's one more I don't hesitate to recommend, even though it does have the problem of a long backlog and frequent hiatuses. But it's so good right from page one that I think it's still worth jumping into:
Ava's Demon (ongoing) - stunningly beautiful illustrations, deep worldbuilding, and an intense story about a girl who is tormented by a demon, and is sent on a sci-fi odyssey trying to fulfill a pact with it. Unusually, it's presented one panel at a time, with updates usually containing a handful of panels.

horror movie
Okay new idea for a movie. A group of friends/acquaintances go investigate a murder mansion. specifically the murderer's mansion in yugioh duel 31. but like none of the yugioh characters are there, I'm just reusing the location.
Okay so the cast is as follows: Girl that likes makeup and is scared of spiders Her boyfriend, a cishet white guy named Chad Overweight person of colour with no discernable personality traits. Nerd guy that knows everything about mansions Cosplay girl dressed as lara croft (she has removable clothing) bad guy cast: evil murder werewolf jeff the kriller, evil butler clown joe biden The plot: Friend group enter mansion. they begin searching for clues about paranormal activity. they get stuck in some trap and realize they're trapped in the mansion and now they want to leave. cosplay girl makes some comments about how Chad finally experiences oppression for the first time. Chad is deflecting and then person of colour chimes in with "mhmm" and then nerd guy tells him that he always has everything in life. After a brief intermission of misogyny, girlfriend with makeup is banished to the attic to seek clues about how to leave. she is mauled by the werewolf. Person of colour then goes "hell naw" and talks about how his dad died in the vietnam war (this is meant to be a funny moment but critics and internetizens will call this weird 10 years after release) Nerd guy uses his laptop to plug into the mainframe so he can hack all the doors open. he then hacks into clown joe biden's brain chip to make him constantly whistle the soviet anthem so they always know where he is. Chad suggests that everyone splits up so they can get out faster. everyone except person of colour thinks this is a guy idea because he is "fluffy" and can't outrun the demons. they split up and suddenly a SCREAM. then soviet anthem whistles. the scream was cosplay girl walking into a web of spiderwebs and subsequently peeing herself. she removes her clothing off camera and changes into a different outfit (scary hatsune miku)
Finally everyone meets up in the hand guillotine area. The werewolf looms. cishet white guy chad sheds a tear. he begins making out with the werewolf. He begins monologuing about how everyone always assumes so much about him and that he's fed up with his friends. He nuzzles the werewolf's chest and explains that he's actually bisexual and the werewolf has been his gay lover for the past year. werewolf goes "it's actually messed up that you guys know nothing about chad. how could you even call him a friend?" The monologue continues. Chad says that he isn't even cis. he wears baggy clothes cause he couldn't afford top surgery and binding has damaged his ribs. he's also hispanic but white passing. more tears are shed. the nerdy guy aplogoizes and admits that he's been corrupted by twitter. Werewolf and chad then summon their knives. They murder the "friends". They leave the murder mansion and begin emptying the debit cards of the fallen. Chad can now afford top surgery and books an appointment. The werewolf and chad kiss in the moonlight and live happily ever after.

An Introduction to Akasen-ism
Hey there! Welcome to my blog! I only just recently started using Tumblr and perhaps it would be a good idea to properly present myself to you guys!
About me
Akasen (he/him).
Gay.
19 y.o.
Brazillian, might post in portuguese
University student, majoring in Computer Science.
Uses a lot of tonetags.
Interests and fandoms
Current Fandoms:
A Ordem Paranormal TTRPG
Nimona (I still haven't read the novel, sadly)
Encanto
Baldur's Gate 3
Interests
Fantasy, writing, magic systems in general, action and lore.
Mythology and folklore.
Diverse and creative application of magic.
Tabletop RPGs my beloved!! While I'm always open to learn new systems, I'm mostly into DnD, Ordem Paranormal and City of Mist.
I also make homebrews for AOP and plan to make some fics involving Ordem Paranormal in the future so I can spread the word of AOP /hj.
Endlessly yapping about magic systems and magic in literature and magic in general.
I also enjoy gaming, mostly RPGs but I consider myself ecletic in taste.
My fics
♦ Dark Seeks Light
Ostracized, neglected and considered a curse and a stain of the otherwise perfect image of the Familia Madrigal, Mirabel realizes on the bottom of the pit that she is a shadow in a family of shining stars, that not only she isn't part of them, she is opposite to them. In a last plead for a candle that pretty much ruined her life, she asks for a place to belong and people that can understand her.
In the following day, in the middle of Isabela's bertrothal dinner, she suddenly started glowing in a golden light, before disappearing before their very eyes.
She woke up in a strange room, amidst six strangers of different languages and nations, before they magically started understanding each other and founding out that they share more than they expected: the fact that they were all giftless. Upon learning this, Mirabel ignites the hope that with them, she can find a place to be herself.
Encanto Fic.
Current incomplete.
Has a lot of focus on the OCs, in some cases more than the Madrigals themselves.
High Fantasy with magic being a constant, ever-present aspect of the Arcane Nations.
Will be pretty long.
Lots and lots and lots of worldbuilding
Queer people everywhere (it's my setting of magical people I make the rules).
Contains OC x Canon.
A lot of exploration of the magic system.
♦ The Narrative Around Us
People are simply not aware of the sheer power stories hold.
The citizens of the kingdom go about their days without having knowledge of people with powers born from stories: Rifts, whose powers are concealed by the ever present, yet invisible, mist. Those people are vessels for the respective legends they represent, those powers shaping them.
However, one common knowledge for every rift is that the narrative around their mythos will inevitably make them gravitate and change their own stories to fit their own. They must fight their own stories internally, lest they are devoured by them. So when Ballister becomes the Rift of Gloreth, knowing that there is scarcely any bigger honor, he vows himself to give himself wholly to her story, to be a vessel, however, as he learns about the world of Rifts and the Mist, he is blocked from fufilling his destiny.
Nimona AU - Inspired by City of Mist TTRPG
Currently incomplete.
Features some OCs but the protagonists are Ballister and Ambrosius.
Quite a lot of depictions of religious trauma-- But things get better (eventually).
Urban Fantasy with action and investigation.
Bal is kinda of a vigilante in this AU.

Danganronpa Talentswap: CiDR Edition!
I am a big fan of ThatCheesyBastard’s Cartoons in Danganronoa series. Despite only being on the first case, it brims with personality, love and a great understanding of the shows it uses and of Danganronpa in general. So I thought, why not throw into my insane talentswap thing? Though I am gonna throw in one interesting caveat: by the nature of swapping their talents, they effectively change the whole show, frequently having the artstyle of the duo they swapped with. There are the obvious exceptions: The IZ characters keep their artstyle because Membrane would murder me if I tried and the three solo chars swap their artstyles instead(going Jenny with Star’s, Morty’s with Jenny’s & Star’s with Morty’s) Anyway here we goooo! Mason “Dipper” Pines, Ultimate Fiend Maker & Mabel Pines, Ultimate Motivator Show: How to Make F”r”iends: During their summer vacation to Gravity Falls, the Pines Twins discover a book called How to Make Fiends, that teaches them how to make beings called Fiends. They plan to use them to have the best goshdarn summer in a backwater town ever! Dib Membrane, Ultimate Magician, Gaz Membrane, Ultimate Assistant & Z.I.M, Ultimate Fighting Machine. Show: Membrane the Magnificent. Dib Membrane’s father, Professor Membrane is truly one of the world’s greatest scientists. Dib however merely seeks his father’s approval and to become a great stage magician to which he...disapproves to put it mildly. So with the (often times forced) help of his sister and the robot his dad built to keep them safe, he will show the world how magnificent his magic is! Morty Smith, Ultimate Extraterrestrial Scientist Show: Distance is Relatives. Morty’s seemingly dead grandfather Rick has come back into his family’s life to teach Morty how to become a scientist! However, Rick is a sussy imposter, an alien from the planet C-137(short for Cloner 137) who is seeking to make Earth into C-138 and is only teaching Morty so he can build what’s needed to do that! Jenny Wakeman, Ultimate Paranormal Investigator Show: Old Haunts. Jenny Wakeman decides to make her own future and with the help of her mother creating special ghost hunting equipment(really just a way to enact her own plans for her daughter’s future, being a superhero), hunts down ghosts in her area. It’s...a little difficult considering it seems a lot of people like pretending to be ghosts for one reasons or another. “Star Butterfly”, Ultimate Gamer Show: Vs Mode! Star Butterfly is a relatively famous video gamer and influencer. What she doesn’t know is the people she plays against online on her TV are actually magical spirits and other such dimensional bru-haha! But hey makes good content whenever her on again, off again boyfriend and camera operator Marco Diaz can bother to help! Eddy, Ultimate Team Leader & Ed, Ultimate Animal Whisperer Show: Do Good-ed. One day a young scientific prodigy named Sarah was lonely and wanted little brothers to tease and dote on. So she made some with snips, snails and puppy dog tails...only to unwittingly mix in some Chemical X, causing her three siblings to come out...a little odd and with superpowers! Maybe she shouldn’t have rushed to give them names, since all she had was Ed... Bertha Utonium, Ultimate Jew & Beatrice Utonium, Ultimate Snack Enthuatist Show: Whoopass Show. In the city of Townsville(who named this town) lives the triplets Bertha, Beatrice and Betty alongside their father, who is a middle aged physicist of some renown...quite frankly he spoils the three and you can tell. But eh life is weird in Townsville from the demon that no one can tell if he’s gay or just flamboyant as hell, talking monkeys and that bitch Princess Morbucks, it’s one hell of a time! Vendetta, Ultimate Scam Artist & Charlotte, Ultimate Muscle Show: Making Much Moolah. In the dreary town of Clamburg, three girls make their own fun by causing chaos and scamming the general populace. Charlotte, despite being dimmer than a broken lightbulb, is insanely strong for a girl her age. Marian, despite being very shy(and putting up with these two, who can blame her) is surprisingly intelligent and a master of getting out of dodge and Vendetta runs every shebang to get enough money for three bottles of grape soda! Eric Cartman, Ultimate Detective & Kyle Broflovski, Ultimate Sweater Designer Show: Quiet Little Mountain Town. The town of South Park, cold and quiet holds many a mystery...and it seems like the only one capable of finding and solving them is racist fat bastard Eric Cartman and his friends, Stan Marsh the new kid, Kyle Broflovski his frequent bullying victim and Kenny, an enigma in and of himself.

Ask meme: detailed synopsis of a fic you might never write
Re: this post
OK SO. I’m a big fan of all things related to hauntings, demonic possession, and Evil Places, and I’m low-key obsessed with Ed and Lorraine Warren. (If you like spooky stuff and don’t know who they are, definitely look it up.) The fic I want to write is an AU in the vein of those types of movies (The Conjuring, Annabelle, etc.) in which the TOG team are paranormal investigators, with Joe and Nicky as an analogue to the Warrens.
The premise is that Nile’s family somehow acquires the Generic Cursed Object, and Haunting occurs. Nile’s mom has tried every reasonable avenue to figure out what’s going on, and finally turns to this team of “ghost hunters”. Nile, who isn’t part of the team, is understandably skeptical and spends a lot of time hovering over their shoulders and asking questions, which leads to a lot of conversation about how each of them got involved in this and their views on death and spirituality. 
The Buffet of Tragic Backstories features: 
Joe, because being Muslim and gay and psychic in America is not a great time
Nicky, the former seminarian who hates the Church but just can’t let go of being Catholic
Andy, the lifelong Atheist still looking for evidence of Something Beyond
Quynh, the thrill-seeking Old School Goth who once Fucked Around and Found Out (that ghosts are real)
Booker, who presents himself as the Agnostic Jew in order to mask a tumult of deep-seated doubts
with a special appearance by Lykon, who used to work with the team and decided to get the fuck out after an especially traumatic experience. He teaches Wicca classes at a community center in Oregon. They visit him every year for Imbolc.
Our story begins at a deli in Chicago…
________________________________________________________________________________________
Nile isn’t sure what she expected self-professed “demonologists” to look like, but the two guys sitting across from her are definitely not it.
The white guy looks more like a highschool science teacher than anything else, clean cut and casual in his polo shirt and khakis, and he’s got an accent that Nile can’t quite place. The other guy, who Nile thinks is middle eastern, is the complete opposite, wearing a sleeveless Trevor Project T-shirt that shows the maze of tattoos all over his arms, his dark hair in a riotous tangle of curls. They introduced themselves as Nicky and Joe.

* In a contemporary dystopia, Unity is peace--despite the fact unsanctioned information, illicit currency, and every sort of danger flows unchecked in the world's pleasure districts.
John Watson, a weary hired gun, is assigned by the mysterious Mentor to investigate a subversive element lurking in the Icehouse, the world's most famous House of Repose.

To lounge beside the beach bonfire every evening with an ice cold beer tucked into the cool sand beside him and listen to Pink Floyd and the Doors while the saltwater dries in his sun bleached hair.

When Sherlock happens to see John reading poetry at a coffee shop he is immediately smitten. John holds him at arm's length because he's a bloody child.
How will ten years and miles apart change that view, and will John be able to understand how he's fallen in love with someone he doesn't ever get to see?

Tumblr media
ALINA ALVAREZ
created using @ummmmandy’s picrew!! sorry the collage cut the watermark out hsbdbdhdh i am not, however, sorry for the amount of outfits i made its so much fun.
stats: al, ali - she/her pronouns - panromantic asexual - 5’2’’ & 121 lbs - born june 12th, 1987* (cancer) - slytherpuff - warlock - the sun - enfj - 6 - sanguine-choleric - neutral good.
short backstory under the cut.
alina is the daughter of kamala maharaj (who was a researcher at m.i.) a british indian woman whos classified as a thrill-seeking genius. i affectionately think of her as the mad scientist type.
& her father is luis alvarez, an latin american paranormal investigator, like a real one, not one that does web shows and all that. he’s puerto rican and able to talk to ghosts. his entire family has some kind of psychic ability.
alina has the ability called psychometry where she can learn things about and item or person through touch.
luis is modeled after my irl mom, who’s puerto rican & a medium.
luis goes to the UK looking for a juergen leitner book (though he doesn’t know that that’s what it’s called) the book is affiliated with the dark; luis has a page from it and is searching for the rest. he meets kamala when he interviews her. they hit it off instantly and get married after less than a year of knowing each other.
when luis and kamala died, alina was raised by her godfather joel reid who made a statement at the magnus institute when alina went missing.
joel reid was in the relationship with kamala and luis, he was childhood friends with kamala stating that he was probably the only one who could put up with her eccentric personality until luis came along, though luis’ personality wasn’t much better.
he owned a bar and often let alina, jon, and georgie hang out there during their free time.
joel later becomes affiliated with the hunt.
alina and jon meet in college at oxford, alina grew extremely attached to him and kinda forced herself into his life, though he never complained about it.
the two end up moving together, becoming roommates
joel mentions in his statement that alina was always a weird child; knowing and understanding things a child shouldn’t know and understand.
for example when her mother died, alina wasn’t upset but instead strangely disappointed like she knew it would happen.
alina confesses later that she once tried to get her mother to quit working at the magnus institute, that working there would lead to her death. though, kamala couldn’t quit no matter how hard she tried.
alina was once brought into the m.i. with her mother, which causes the Eye to set its sights on her (pun fucking intended). alina refused to go back with her mother since then.
when jon expresses interest in joining the magnus institute it leads to a lot of tense conversations between alina and jon.
alina doesn’t want jon working there since she knows the truth about that place, but she couldn’t exactly explain to jon about the Entities since she knows he wouldn’t believe her without proof
she tried to subtly ward him off the magnus institute but when that doesn’t work she gradually becomes more forceful which leads to A lot of fights between jon and her; it’s one fo the only things they’ve ever fought about it
the last fight they had was extremely bad, which causes alina storm out of the house without any of her belongings & stay with joel for a few days.
while alina stays with joel, she never leaves her room. in joel’s statement he mentions a lot of strange things happening during that time like the lights going out for hours at a time and the shadows of strange figures he’d see at the corner of his eye
the last day joel saw alina is when she said yes to the Dark.
she disappeared for six years after that. when joel made a report they classified it as her missing a year later she was declared dead.
jon blamed himself for her disappearance.
the Dark has always been around alina, watching and waiting for her. she never planned on saying yes, since she knew what it was, but she needed a way to protect jon from the horrors of the magnus institute and becoming an avatar of the dark seemed to be the only solution
alina returns six years after she disappears, right after jane prentiss attacks the archives
she’s asleep, right outside her and jon’s apartment.
her and jon talk a lot that night and she moves back in with him (though all of her stuff was still there, jon didn’t move or touch anything, like he was waiting for her to come back)
she practically forces elias to give her a job at the archives, he accepts because the Eye wants her there and alina becomes jon’s assistant though she doesn’t leave his side.
alina as never been a good person and being trapped in the Dark for 6 years doesn’t help that. 
she comes back the same; happy, outgoing and charismatic. the complete opposite of jon; but she’s willing to do anything to make sure jon is happy and healthy and safe. she’s extremely loyal and overprotective of him.
she later grows fond of tim and martin and tries to protect them too. 
i ship alina with jon (romantically) & martin (platonically) tbh; i think about this ot3 A LOt jdbdbdjdj they’re in a poly relationship but alina and martin are friends since i hc martin being gay and only romantically interested in martin. though alina and martin do end up loving each other as family.

Gravity Falls Beyond the Woods Chapter Two
Here it is, chapter two! 
Wendy and Dipper are excited for summer, while things start happening at Gravity Falls again. 
Warning this chapter is rated T for mild sexual content/ Blood and Violence

The fire roared around her as Wendy looked for the family. Her fellow firefighters where outside, hosing down the fire. With a swing of her ax, she broke down a burning door. There she saw the trapped family, a father and three children, helpless in the corner. He was unconscious and the kids were scared. Lifting the unconscious man on her shoulders and leading the rest out of the inferno, Wendy saved the family.
As the paramedics checked on the shaken family, Wendy removed her mask. Her long hair fell down her back. After making sure the fire was contained, Wendy returned to the firehouse. She sripped off the uniform and into the shower. Her physical career had given her a muscular physique. Her arms had some nice definition. Not to mention her abs. Her wedding ring, a simple gold band, was next to her engagement ring, silver with emerald to match her eyes, Dipper gave her on her ring finger. She could feel the grim and soot on her. Wendy turned the knob. The hot water ran down her body, washing the ash away. God, it felt amazing. The redhead made sure to scrub the soap into her skin. She shut off the shower and grabbed a towel.
As she was drying her hair, she got an idea. Grinning, she grabbed her phone and took a quick pic of herself in the buff; sending it out to her husband.
The camera steaded on Dipper as he spoke to the family. “Okay, the first step in investigating the cause of a haunting is figuring out what isn’t.” He pulled out a small white device. “This is a carbon monoxide detector. You’ll be surprised how similar the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning is to poltergeist activity. Just in case, we’re gonna hook you guys up with a hotel while we wait for the tests. I’m also check commercial flight patterns and see if any fly over your house. While there is no concrete proof that that airplanes vibrations, I want to see if it as any connection too...”
“Oooo. Oooo.” The lights flickered on and off. A cross look appeared on Dipper’s face.
“Guys, we talked about this. You can do whatever you want in post, but when we’re on the ground, I can do my research.”
One of the producers answered, “We’re not doing this.”
“I can see Steve flipping the switch.” The camera turned to the left, following Dipper’s finger point. A man with quickly flipping a switch. Dipper looked at the ceiling. “That’s just a recording. These people came to us for help! And I do not appreciate you making a mockery of this investigation!” Dipper climbed up the bed post to better reach the ceiling fan. “This is a serious investigation! A serious investigation!” As Dipper reached over to the fan, to get the phone the “ooos” were emitting from, he fell down onto the bed, breaking the frame. Sending the mattress crashing to the floor.
The video paused among the students’ laughter.  An older Dipper stood in front of the class.
“And that was the end of my reality television career. Yes it’s okay, you can laugh.” The male Pines twin, in addition to marrying his favorite redhead and fathering two wonderful children, had grown up to become a professor of paranormal studies and history at Backupsmore University; his great uncle’s old stomping ground. “In out profession, they’ll always be people who don’t take us seriously. And some of that is on us. Flat earthers, anti-vaxxers and worse makes us all look like idiots. The thing is, is to keep your head up, question everyone, especially yourself. We are still discovering new species every year. There is so much more is discov…” His phone went off. He looked at the photo his wife texted him. “Yes!” Dipper did that little arm pump thing. “Sorry, something personal. Where was I?” The bell rang. The student rose to leave. “Alright, enjoy your summer. Apologizes to those who thought this was a blow off class and thanks for sticking with it.”
Once the last students left, so did Dipper. Walking into the staff room, he was greeted by several other professors. “Mason.” Most people he met as an adult called him Mason, but to his family, he’ll always be Dipper. “So, any plans with Bigfoot this summer? How close are you guys?”
“I’ve never met Bigfoot. Mothman owes me 250 dollars though.” This elicited a laugh from everyone. “But seriously, never lend money to Mothman.”
The forest was quiet. God, Rich was so frustrated. A top of the line government agent, stuck hunting freaking bigfoot and ufos in the middle of nowhere Oregon.
“This is a waste of my talents.” Sweat was running down his brow. Pale blonde hair a mess. He was dressed in the traditional black suit and tie, complete with sunglasses.
“You have talents?” Agent Mitch was spot on for Agent Rich, expect he was a brunette and was a bit more put together.
“Yes. And they don’t involve finding Bigfoot.”
“We’re not looking for Bigfoot, we’re looking for…”
“Yeah, yeah yeah. A statue of a Dorito with a Mr. Peanut hat. Real important.” Rich kicked over some mushrooms that had grown in a circle.
Mitch went to the ground and grabbed a handful of dirt as it held the answers. He spoke as he let the dirt fall through his fingers. “The statue of ‘The Cipher’. The thing that gets me is that no one is saying anything about it. Normally, you find numerous eye witness reports from the locals. But here, we got nothing.”
“Probably because there’s nothing to-” A series of giggles cut him off. “What was that?”
Mitch sprang to his feet. The area was suddenly filled with fireflies. No, they were people. Little people. Some were the size of flies, while others were the size of barbie dolls. The creatures came in a variety of colors, green, orange, blue, and others. Some wore clothes that looked like they were made of plants, such as leaves or flower petals. Others wore silk wrapped around their bodies, sparkling and completely see through. Most hadn’t bothered with clothes at all. Their laughter was childlike but unsettling. Both agents had pulled their guns out. Rich was swearing under his breath.  
“Greetings humans.” The speaker was six inches tall, lavender skin with deep plum hair; which was worn short. Standing on a mushroom, wiggling their toes. Slender fingers They were dressed lightly. The shortest of shorts and tube top, a slightly darker shade of their skin, was all the creature wore. Both were incredibly tight, hiding very little. Their face was pointed, chin, nose, and teeth. Eyes were purple with no pupils.Wings of a dragonfly sat on their back, sparkling. The body was slim, with the barest of hints that there was a bust. To further confuse the agents, there was a slight bulge in their shorts. Voice was raspy, making it hard to deterement gender.  “I am Puck, the most humble servant of Titania, Heiress of the Tuatha De Danann, Keeper of Tir na nOg, and Queen of the Fair Folk. You have disrespected our land.” The fairy Puck gestured over to the mushrooms.
Mitch was the one to speak first. “Please, we meant no disrespect. We are looking for a statue. It’s like a rock that’s shaped-”
“I know what a statue is. And I know what you seek is no statue, but the remains of Bill.”
“You mean The Cipher?”
“His name is Bill, but okay.” Puck touched their fingertips together before spreading their arms way. “But enough about Billy. Let’s talk about the desecration of our sacred ring.”
“The mushrooms?” Rich sneered when he regained his composure.
“Yes, the mushrooms. And punishment for such disrespect is death.” Puck dramatically pointed at the two men.  
The fairies had started flying around them, keeping themselves low, around Rich and Mitch’s ankles.
Rich laughed and simply stepped over them.
“Ah, Rich?”
“Am I supposed to be afraid of a bunch of little men?”
He stomped down on the fairy hard. Puck raised their hand, nails extending, piercing the soles of the shoe, emerging out the other side. Rich fell over screaming.
At this Puck laughed. Their laugh was as light as the chirp of the grasshopper and as cold as arctic wind. “Little men? LITTLE MEN!” And Puck began to recite.
Up the airy mountain, Down the rushy glen, We daren’t go a-hunting For fear of little men; Wee folk, good folk, Trooping all together; Green jacket, red cap, And white owl’s feather!
The others joined them. The fairies landed on the ground, and began matching toward the men. Meanwhile, Puck grew in size, muscle bulging out, wings receding. Hands turning into claws, teeth grew not only in length, but in number. By the end of the poem, Puck was eight feet tall.
Down along the rocky shore Some make their home, They live on crispy pancakes Of yellow tide-foam; Some in the reeds Of the black mountain-lake, With frogs for their watchdogs, All night awake.
High on the hill-top The old King sits; He is now so old and grey He’s nigh lost his wits. With a bridge of white mist Columbkill he crosses, On his stately journeys From Slieveleague to Rosses; Or going up with the music On cold starry nights, To sup with the Queen Of the gay Northern Lights.
They stole little Bridget For seven years long; When she came down again Her friends were all gone. They took her lightly back, Between the night and morrow, They thought that she was fast asleep, But she was dead with sorrow. They have kept her ever since Deep within the lake, On a bed of fig-leaves, Watching till she wake.
By the craggy hillside, Through the mosses bare, They have planted thorn trees For my pleasure, here and there. Is any man so daring As dig them up in spite, He shall find their sharpest thorns In his bed at night.
Up the airy mountain, Down the rushy glen, We daren’t go a-hunting For fear of little men!
And with that last line, Puck picked up Mitch. The man started screaming and did so as Puck put half of him into their mouth and took a bite. Blood sprayed all over Rich’s face, getting in his eyes, as he screamed too. As Puck continued eating his partner, Rich got up, stumbling, and ran off; the other fairies swarming and cutting him. He ran, will tried too as he was limping, to a hill and fell down rolling.
When he hit the bottom, he felt around the ground. “Help! HELP!”
He felt a hand grasp his. It was metal.

𝑪𝑯𝑨𝑹𝑨𝑪𝑻𝑬𝑹 𝑺𝑯𝑬𝑬𝑻
repost, don’t reblog !
Tumblr media
𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐬 !
full name. Sapphire Imagami nicknames.  Saph, Sephie, or Phire-ball height.   5′2 age.   (child verse is 7) (teen verse is 16) (adult verse is 27) zodiac.   Scorpio languages.    English, Japanese, Italian, and French
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
hair colour.    blue-black hair  eye colour.    dark blue skin tone.    light skin with brown freckles body type.   slender and a little curvy accent.    Has a very light japanese accent. You wouldn’t notice it right away since his english is pretty spot-on, but when it comes to the pronunciation of certain words, that’s when it becomes a tad more noticeable. He actually sounds a lot more natural when speaking Japanese than he does in the other languages he speaks.  dominant hand. left posture.    A bit slouchy and laidback. He honestly couldn’t care less about what he looks like to be quite honest. He’s also very tired most of the time from magical crime fighting, so that might also be the reason for his hunched over and exhausted posture.  tattoos.   A heart on his thigh and some small angel wings on his back.  most noticeable features.  The sparkling blue eyes and infectious laughter. 
CHILDHOOD.
place of birth.   France.  hometown.   Paris birth weight / height.   Average first words. “Mon Amor” Although it was unintelligable baby gibberish, of course. His mother spoke quite a bit of French due to her heritage and had often addressed Yoshitaka as such.  siblings.  None in default canon. Twin verse is @sapphosheiir/s Sapphire as his older twin sister.  parents.  Naoko and Yoshitaka Imagami, takarazuka actress and CEO of a huge industrial company. @acetyleneactor‘s Lamp is his father figure in another verse after running away from the abuse of his wealthy parents. Princess Knight’s Madame Hell is his current guardian in default.  parental involvement.  Honestly none? At this point, he’s pretty much gone as far as he can away from his unstable home. The only time his parents ever actually attempt to seek him out is when they need him to be some kind of doll for good publicity. Y’know, make their family look good or just rub salt into the wound that he owes them for all they’ve done for him. Madame Hell and her daughter, Hecate on the other hand love Sapphire unconditionally and accept him for who he is. They also love that he embraces the unknown and the world of magic. @acetyleneactor‘s Lamp helps Sapphire pursue his goals as an entertainer by helping him rehearse for movies/commercials. 
ADULT LIFE
occupation. Fashion Designer current residence.  Tokyo but has a penthouse suite in Paris close friends.  @discguise‘s Rock Holmes, Hecate, Friebe, and Melmo (one of the kids he babysits in his spare time) relationship status.  Single currently but in a relationship with @discguise‘s Rock in a verse where they’re childhood friends.  financial status.  Well off. Having a great deal of experience with crafting clothes and carrying out deeds for a certain underworld witch has put him in a pretty good position. driver’s license. Never. Why bother driving a car when you can ride on a cool magical broomstick? criminal record.   Nothing too big. A few fights here and there, a couple of break-ins at his academy/trespassing at graveyards at late hours, also vandalism. 
SEX & ROMANCE.
sexual orientation.  Pansexual romantic orientation.   Gay as hell preferred emotional role.  submissive | dominant | switch  |  unsure preferred sexual role.  submissive |  dominant  |  switch |  sex repulsed libido.  turn on’s.  Neck biting/neck kisses, kissing his stomach, ear nibbling, having his partner remove his clothes, and just having his partner being really touchy with him like moving their hands up his legs or massaging his back.  turn off’s.   Just his partner smelling extremely bad? Or if they put on very heavy cologne that he can’t handle, then he’ll just turn away. He also can’t stand it if somebody tries going beyond their boundaries and attempting shit that’s not familiar to him? Like, he’d at least like to know what kind of thing they’re into first and if he’s on board.  love language.   Being extremely flirty and spoiling the hell out of his partner. He’s very much a gentleman so he’ll like do what fairytale princes do: hand-kissing, lay his jacket across some mud so that his partner doesn’t have to dirty their nice shoes, put together some clothes for them as a gift, and just doing whatever he can to let them know that they’ll always have him as support. Plenty of hugs and relaxing broom rides through the night sky.  relationship tendencies. He has a bad tendency of letting people know that he’s not all he’s hyped up to be. His parents sort of drilled it into him that he’s a good-for-nothing and that he’s just not very capable or smart at all. Plus there’s his reputation that’s been created from the rumor mill due to his family and his unstable magic, so he’s just really insecure and just wants his partner to know what they’re getting into. 
MISCELLANEOUS.
character’s theme song.  I Lived-One Republic and King by Lauren Aquilina hobbies to pass the time.  Sketching, sewing, singing, playing cute dress-up app games on his phone, conjuring potions, crafting charms for friends, vlogging make-up tutorials, fencing, reading adventure novels, and  paranormal investigations.  mental illnesses.   ADHD and PTSD
physical illnesses.  Asthma, he also has a bit of a weak heart so anxiety attacks are a fucking major no-no.  left or right brained .  Right-brain means creative and artistic. So yeah, let’s go with that. fears.   Being forgotten, failing the ones he loves, and just watching somebody die on his watch? Like for once, he wants to do right and not fuck up everything like he does with his spells or not being up to everyone’s expectations.  self confidence level.   Ahaha, very low. It’s a little big higher when he’s wearing the outfits he’s made for himself though.  vulnerabilities.  Being left behind or basically feeling like a third-wheel, really. Also having his family confront him while in the presence of his friends. He’s heavily guarded about what goes on between him and his family, so of course he doesn’t want loved ones to get involved.

Verses
Note: I’m going to add something called Universe Alternates to slightly modified verses, where a verse is the same except for one thing. Say it’s my main verse, but set in the current year. That would be tagged, v: the firehouse, ua: modern. A verse modified for DC comics would be tagged, ua: dcu
Main Timeline Verses
v: the firehouse
The main verse. This takes place at any time during Peter’s career as a Ghostbuster. Mid/post movie verse.
v: he turned out to be a lizard
A between movies verse. Peter hosts World of the Psychic and suppresses his skepticism against his better judgement.
v: smells like college
A pre-movie verse. Venkman ends up roommates with Egon and/or Ray, etc. in college. Hijinks ensue.
v: new girls
Default verse for interacting with muses from Ghostbusters 2016. If you’d rather not interact in this verse, please specify.
Main future verse. Post 2016 movie. Buckle up, kids, it’s lengthy exposition time.
The Ghostbusters kept doing their thing for years after dealing with Gozer (and Tiamat). Until all hell broke loose. A mysterious lab accident that released all of the busted ghosts from their holding chamber ended up getting Egon killed in the process.
Ray and Winston (and others) were out on an assignment, and Peter had finally gotten a date with Dana, so when the ghosts were released, Egon was alone to deal with them all, and with broken technology everywhere, it wasn’t an easy battle to fight. Egon was able to contact the other Ghostbusters, but since Peter was in the easiest situation to get out of, he ended up getting there first. With Peter’s help, Egon was able to get the ECU functional again, but the surge of electricity required to do so ended up killing him.
The rest of the Ghostbusters arrived on the scene to find Dana panicked outside of the firehouse. They went inside to find Peter attempting to revive Egon. Ray immediately rushed to help, dismantling one of their packs to use like a defibrillator. When he attempted to jump start Egon’s heart again, his soul manifested itself as a ghost and took over Dana.
The Ghostbusters were able to say their last goodbyes to their friend before he left Dana’s body, but something strange happened in the process. Part of Egon’s soul stayed inside of Dana. She started to remember things she’d never experienced, and retained much of Egon’s knowledge of the Ghostbusters’ equipment.
Egon’s death lead to the end of the Ghostbusters, and each member parted ways. Ray became a taxi driver, Winston bought a funeral home, and Peter took on an alias and began debunking ghost stories, determined to never let what happened to Egon happen to anyone else.
With Dana’s newfound obsession with Ghost busting technology, she and Peter got into repeated arguments until they were forced to go their separate ways as well. Later Dana took on an apprentice, Jillian Holtzmann.
Peter continued debunking ghost sightings until Ghostbusters was practically erased from history. But New York remembered. When he learned that a new team had cropped up, he made it his mission to tear them down, but at the same time, he was curious. He wanted to know if they’d really achieved what he and the others had done thirty years before. He prompted them to release their captured ghost, and nearly died from the resulting fall from their second story window. When he got out of the hospital, he didn’t press charges. Instead, he decided to keep watching the New Ghostbusters. Perhaps one day his expertise could be needed.
Events in this verse subject to revision depending on what is agreed to by both partners.
v: a game changer (Martin Heiss Verse)
Martin grew up in the 50s and 60s, afraid to come out as gay, but inspired by the civil rights movements and changing culture which surrounded him.
He was naturally soft spoken, and even reclusive, but what was mistaken for a shy nature didn’t keep him from speaking his mind as he grew into a young man.
He studied sociology and psychology in college, with a particular fascination for myths and legends of different cultures, but he never believed them. A combination of a religious upbringing, the disappearance of his grandfather, and the fear of being kicked out on the street by his parents made him skeptical of things that couldn’t be proven by empirical evidence.
From his middle age onward, Heiss became a well known sociologist, and eventually earned his keep as a paranormal debunker. This allowed him his seat on the Council For Logic and Data, from which he worked his way up to chairman. By then he was known to be openly gay, and even better known for his odd sense of fashion. And then he met the Ghostbusters.
Alternate Timeline Verses
v: incorporated
The Ghostbusters are looking to expand their company, and in addition to adding a Chicago branch, they’ve hired four new trainees with a lot to offer. Who knows, maybe they’ll be the New York branch someday, if the boys ever retire.
v: let’s do the time warp (again)
Ghostbusters 101 verse. Will update with the comics.
Unfortunately, a mishap with the interdinensional portal has caused the Ghostbusters’ universe to merge with well, the other Ghostbusters’ universe. They’ll get it sorted out eventually, but for now, the teams founded in 1984 and 2016 have come together to kick some ghost.
v: time slips
Another Ghostbusters 2016 verse, but with a younger Venkman. Venkman and the rest of the Ghostbusters stayed in limbo longer than they had thought. It’s thirty years later and a new team of Ghostbusters has cropped up in New York. Based on the events in Volume 5 of IDW Ghostbusters.
v: seven sermons to the dead
Peter Venkman and the rest of the Ghostbusters have been committed to the psychiatric ward, but this time the mayor’s aid won’t come clean. Trapped, and with no one to believe them, (no one with a key anyway) the Ghostbusters are separated with the hope that their delusions will subside with less exposure to the others.
Vigo’s plan to possess Oscar succeeds, but it will be several years before he is able to carry out his plan for world domination while Janosz raises him as his son. Will the Ghostbusters escape in time to stop him?
Historical
v: ESP expert
Surprisingly enough, aging paranormal expert Peter Venkman is employed by the US military during World War II to investigate unnatural phenomenon in battle ravaged Germany. (Can apply to other wars/places as well, WWII is default. Based on the movie Monuments Men.)
v: won’t be missed
A young medic finds more than he bargained for overseas when he finds he’s capable of communicating with the dead. (MASH/Another historical verse)
v: a preacher and a con-man
Set between the 1930s and 1960s, Peter Venkman is a lapsed Catholic priest still trying to make a living at preaching after a quiet excommunication from the Catholic church because an “exorcism” he performed was discovered to be a fake. He’s still famous for the exorcism and makes good money giving advice for supernatural ailments and leaving town before anyone can discover he’s a liar (and an atheist).
Ghost Verses
v: college buddies
Peter was killed in college when a car hit him on a walk back to his dorm. Ever since, he’s haunted his roommate, Egon Spengler. Years later, he caused the “accidental” meeting of Ray Stantz and Egon when he tripped the latter, causing him to drop his books and skin his knee in front of Ray. Venkman later appeared to them in ghost form, remarking that he “knew they would get along.”
v: through the window
Martin Heiss definitely died from that fall from the second story of the Chinese takeout place. The thing is, now he’s a class IV, full torso apparition, and he’s a bit focused, that meaning that for some reason, he’s now stuck in the firehouse he inhabited in life. These days, he enjoys his retirement from life by messing up the Ghostbusters’ smartphones and startling Erin out of her wits.
v: a full life
Peter Venkman has died a natural death after many years of being a pain in everyone’s ass. He thought he’d escaped this plane of existence for good, but for some reason, he’s come back. There’s some unfinished business to take care of. But what?
Alternate Universes
v: no ghost
A catch all for any verse where Peter isn’t a Ghostbuster or ghosts don’t exist. Peter probably works as a psychologist in either research or patient care. Will probably be accompanied with v: tbd until I figure out specifics for the interaction. Then I will switch to a specific verse.
v: realish
The Real Ghostbusters verse. All TRG canon applies.
v: more precious than gold
Peter is a single father to his daughter Aurelia. He has sole custody after a messy divorce.
v: goddamneded
A Blues Brothers verse. Peter works as their publicist, or their “hype man” as he calls it.
v: unfortunate souls
Think Disney villains. Martin Heiss has never been good a day in his life. An aging professional criminal posing as a debunker with a certain dramatic flair, he seeks to release ghosts onto New York and gain power over the city. This is definitely going to backfire.
v: fear and loathing (in Gillikin)
Wicked verse. Mostly musical based, some book influences. Martin Heiss is a Gillikinese man with a short temper and a sharp tongue.
v: we’re ready to believe you
A Men In Black verse. It turns out Melanie Ortiz works for more than one government agency. The Ghostbusters actually do run into alien ghosts in Area 51, as well as the MIB. Apparently the world is ready for ghosts, but not quite ready for aliens. At least Egon gets to play with some new toys, if he doesn’t get neuralized first.
v: not quite psychic
Superhero verse. The Ghostbusters are a team of mercenaries for hire who specifically target supervillains (they have to work within the law, after all). Usually they are under government employ, but occasionally work for private companies if they have the cash. Their name comes from their powers, which all have to do with ghosts or the supernatural.
Peter is an empath and a limited clairvoyant, with the ability to read emotions and auras, influence others with his own emotions, and read future and past events by touching objects and people associated with them. His visions are often unclear and focus more on the emotions tied to the events than the events themselves.
Peter’s emotional influence can be quite powerful, working other people or animals into a rage, and then using his natural manipulative abilities to sic them on other people. He can be somewhat of a psychic vampire, attracted to people specifically because of their emotional energy. Ray is optimistic and positive, a trait Peter draws on when he needs to. Egon, being non-emotional, Peter uses to help balance himself out. Peter is not capable of real mind control, but many of his detractors believe he is, and controls the other Ghostbusters with that.
v: BPRD
Peter is a BPRD agent and psychic with expertise in psychology and parapsychology. He’s usually employed in diplomatic ventures with faeries, ghosts, or other beings capable of “reasonable” communication. His seances are known to be much less formal than usual.
v: certified psychologist
Peter is a psychologist employed by Arkham Asylum battling a mental illness of his own. He’s been able to keep it under wraps before, so why would now be any different?
v: walkman on the moon
verse established with chariotsofthegodsman. Peter is the captain of Ecto-1, a trade ship that travels the cosmos. He co-owns the trading company with Ray, Egon, and Winston. Venkman hired William Palmer as an engineer when several of them didn’t show up for the job, and he’s quickly earned his place as Peter’s unofficial translator and guide.
v: cute deflections
House M.D. AU. Peter Venkman is employed as a clinical psychologist at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital after being fired from his job as a research psychologist at Columbia University. Though he enjoys patient care more than research, he is still wary of working with severely traumatized patients due to his own insecurities. He prefers the humanistic approach to psychology, however, he often favors cognitive-behavioral tactics with patients and is not above keeping a bowl of candy on his desk to encourage positive association with patients.
v: thin gray line
Apocalypse AU. Gozer and his sister Tiamat have taken over this dimension. It now serves as a boxing ring for their never ending rivalry and the Ghostbusters are caught in the middle of it. Takes place in the ‘90s.

MUN NAME: Cherabby OOC CONTACT: ask, Im or discord (ask for it)
WHO THE HECK IS MY MUSE ANYWAY:
Curran is a dark axe user in Nintendo/Cygame’s mobile app Dragalia Lost
POINTS OF INTEREST:
The Watson to Heinwald’s Sherlock, if Watson solved his problems by putting an axe in those problems’ (metaphorical) heads
He’s also an Inquisitor (and basically a hip youth pastor) for the Ilian Church, aka the primary religion in the world of Dragalia, who investigates criminals wanted for heresy and other such crimes against the church
He mostly hangs around his husband @heinretic​ despite his shady (pun intended) practices 
WHAT THEY’VE BEEN UP TO RECENTLY:
Being a nuisance to Heinwald
Adopting a daughter who turned out to be an ancient Old One luring them into a cursed library of forbidden knowledge. As you do.
Putting away criminal heretics, saving people, saving dragons, punching things
Like Kris said, being gay and solving crimes
WHERE TO FIND THEM:
Investigating heresy, so usually wherever you’d find death cults, lovecraftian bullshit, dragon poachers, and the like. 
Or wherever the hell Heinwald is
Heinwald’s estate, because he’s the only person who’ll let him crash on their sofa
Alternatively, any institutions / buildings / etc. associated with the Ilian Church
The Halidom, sometimes
CURRENT PLANS:
Despite his appearance, Curran is genuinely a very devout follower of the Church’s teachings and believes in the goodness of the Goddess Ilia above all else; his motivation is to spread that and keep people safe through his work as an inquisitor and protect the Church so that they can continue to spread the Goddess’ aid.  
DESIRED INTERACTIONS:
Now Seeking Adoptive Children For Gay Paranormal Investigator Dads
I’d love to see him at odds with the church for his generally unorthodox views on what counts as heresy & being, honestly, pretty lax about the whole inquisitor thing in general
OFFERED INTERACTIONS:
Despite what Heinwald will have you believe, he’s actually a pretty damn competent investigator in his own right, given his career. Granted, it may have to take a backseat to Inquisitor nonsense.
Emotional Support Idiot
Plot With Me
CURRENT OPEN POST/S:
I don’t have an open tag Yet but assume when I have one it will be in my /tagged/open, because that’s the only tag I ever use for those
ANYTHING ELSE?:
I’m a full-time college student with two part time jobs (one full-time job in the summer) and I have a myriad of other personal projects I wish to work on
This blog is probably gonna Stay a sideblog to @hcavensarrow​ because I’m lazy as shit

The look those grey-green eyes level at him says please don’t actually be that stupid far more eloquently than should be possible. “You are loup garou, recently infected under traumatic circumstances and subsequently discharged from military service, most likely from a post in Afghanistan or Iraq. Your wounds would have healed with the passing of the initial fever, so whatever lingering effects you are suffering are likely psychosomatic – and severe enough to bar you from the one occupation where being a ruthless hunter is seen as a qualification rather than a detriment.” Those eyes flick back up from their cataloguing of John’s limbs and body to meet his eyes. “When I say you’ll let me see it, I am then, of course, referring to your wolf form.”

“Potential flatmates should know the worst about one another.”
