The Call Of Fate, Chapter 19
The following few weeks were a huge range of emotions for Jade and Loki, but more so Jade. She went through hell and back on almost a daily basis. Loki being the only one that was able to bring her back from it.
It broke his heart seeing her so distraught, but trying to put on a brave face for the most part. He knew how much she was struggling.
Getting fitted for the wedding dress was one of the worst days.
Someone from Arthur’s estate had been sent with a dress to put on her and adjust as necessary. Jade not only hated the dress, it was so not her, it was revolting and uncomfortable. But she was scolded by the nasty old woman over her tattoos, piercings and hair. Told once again that she had to be rid of them. Even when Jade argued that it was too late for her tattoos, she would be left with big marks if she started the process, but she was told it would be better than the awful state of her skin as it was.
As soon as the old bat had left, Jade ran to the bathroom to be sick. Loki rushed after her after seeing her running down the corridor. It wasn’t the first time he’d found her puking after some kind of incident to do with the wedding.
He rubbed her back and held her hair out of the way for her until she felt better.
‘I hate you’re seeing me like this.’ She whispered as Loki wiped her face with a cloth. ‘So disgusting.’
Loki tucked her hair behind her ear. ‘You could never be disgusting, cupcake. Even if you wore a bin bag and had bin juice as perfume.’ Loki smirked.
Jade laughed a little and shook her head with a small smile. He always did manage to make her smile, even in her darkest moments.
She dragged herself up to her feet and went with Loki to get something to eat in the kitchen. Loki had been making sure she was eating plenty, as she seemed to forget to do so in all of her worry. Which was understandable. But she had to keep her strength up.
‘You know, I’ve been thinking.’ Loki announced loudly as he reheated some of Bruce’s leftover pasta for her.
‘Uh oh. That’s dangerous.’ Jade teased.
Loki narrowed his eyes at her momentarily.
‘What’s dangerous?’ Tony asked as he walked in with Clint.
‘Loki has been thinking.’ Jade said.
‘Uh oh. That is dangerous.’ Clint chuckled and sat down next to Jade at the island counter.
‘What’s on your mind, reindeer games?’ Tony asked.
‘Jade is so appallingly bad at cooking. Perhaps she mistakes a herb for poison while she cooks the prince a meal one night… I mean, we can vouch her cooking is bad, can’t we?’ Loki winked at her.
‘Hey! It’s not THAT bad… Is it?’ She whined.
Clint and Tony shrugged a bit sheepishly. ‘I mean… your Bolognese is ok… but you could do with some practice otherwise.’ Said Tony.
Jade crossed her arms over her chest and shook her head. ‘Thanks guys…’ She said sarcastically. ‘So as long as I don’t make bolognese I can fuck up any other recipe and get away with it?’
‘I’d say so.’ Loki grinned and slid the plate of pasta across the table to her with a fork.
‘Or just push him off the balcony after the wedding.’ Tony suggested as he grabbed a fork and stole some of her pasta. Loki glared daggers at him for doing so, but Jade just shook her head at him with a smile.
‘There’s a pool right underneath his balcony unfortunately… That thought has already crossed my mind.’ She said with a mouthful.
‘So you chuck in some sharks, that’ll do the trick.’ Clint said.
‘Filling it with acid would probably work quicker. Less chance of survival.’ Tony said.
‘Not as easy to do though.’ Clint countered.
‘Emptying the pool would do just as good.’ Loki shrugged.
‘I don’t think any of that would work, I’d be spotted too easily.’ Jade said.
‘I’ve got it!’ Clint announced loudly after everyone had fallen silent for a few minutes, making the other three jump. ‘Well it’s obvious. She just smothers him in his sleep with a pillow. Easy, no mess and no struggle.’
Jade laughed and facepalmed. ‘I appreciate the throwing ideas around, guys. But I’d rather not end up in prison for murder.’
‘You blame it on a maid.’ Tony shrugged.
‘I’d rather not have a poor maid chucked in prison either.’ She laughed lightly.
‘Hm. I guess not… Well, how would you like to come and watch us kick Loki’s ass in the training hall?’ Clint offered.
‘I think you’ll find it’s your ass that gets kicked.’ Loki growled at him.
‘If asses are being kicked, I don’t care who’s, I’m there to watch.’ Jade said as she put her plate in the sink.
‘I can assure you, cupcake. My ass is not one that will be kicked.’ Loki said firmly as he draped his arm over her shoulder as the four of them headed towards the hall.
But as they were walking, Tony literally kicked Loki in the ass, making him stumble forward a few steps. Jade and Clint howled with laughter while Tony ran off in another direction after the death stare Loki gave him, and he then ran after him, cursing at him on the way.
‘I’m so going to miss this.’ Jade said to Clint once she calmed down with her laughing.
Clint put his arm around her and gave her a squeeze. ‘You’ll still visit, you’re always going to be part of our family now.’
Jade smiled and nodded, trying not to think about it and hold back tears. ‘You… You will look after Loki for me, won’t you?’
Clint smiled. ‘Of course we will.’
‘I know he’s finding it hard too… considering how close we’ve gotten since I’ve been here.’ Jade said with a lump in her throat.
‘Don’t worry about him. I promise, we will look after him.’ Clint assured her. ‘You’ve got enough to be worrying about yourself.’
Jade nodded. ‘I know… But I do worry about him.’
Clint pulled her into him again for a proper hug this time and rubbed her back. They both froze though when they heard Tony screaming from somewhere in the compound, followed by a large smashing of a glass window.
Jade leaned back and looked at Clint. ‘I… think Loki found him.’
Clint scrunched his nose up and nodded. ‘Yeah, I’d say so.’

Wicked Good Cupcakes: Before and After Shark Tank
Have you noticed how most bakers give you a warm and wholesome vibe every time you interact with them?—do you think it’s the ovens? Ha! Maybe.
Speaking of warmth and baking, what you’re about to read is a tale of a Bostonian mother-daughter duo, Tracey and Danielle Noonan, who built AND sold a million-dollar business out of something unheard of—Cupcakes in a jar.
Before they entered the popular show Shark Tank, most people hadn’t associated jar food with Cupcakes. Jams? Sure. Pickles? Definitely. But cakes do not last more than a week, and that is with the refrigeration privileges.
So how did Wicked Good Cupcakes become so successful in a niche of Jar Cupcakes?
Yes, the Mason jars looked cute. But that is not the only reason Wicked Good Cupcakes gave a green signal to them.
In the early days, the duo faced several shelf-life issues led by growing customer demands. One option was adding preservatives, but they feared it would ruin the recipe. They needed something that would retain the taste and freshness of cupcakes. After several discussions, they started shipping their Cupcakes in mason jars.
The growth of Wicked Good Cupcakes was so quick that mother-daughter could barely keep up with the customers. They now needed more capital to buy the jars in bulk—the main reason for their Shark Tank appearance.
Wicked Good Cupcakes: Shark Tank Pitch
Aired more than a decade back in 2013, Wicked Good Cupcakes is one of the most successful stories and products of Shark Tank. The original ask by Tracey and Danielle was $75,000 for 20% of Wicked Good Cupcakes.
Here’s why:
Robert said he is not a big dessert guy. Like most people, he hadn’t heard of cupcakes in a jar. The product itself was too sweet for him. He was OUT.
Daymond IS a dessert lover (looking at you, Robert). He loved the Cupcakes but cited his worries about weight gain led by his love for desserts as the reason he was OUT.
Lori tried three different cupcake flavors and found them fantastic and “wicked good.” However, she believed Cupcakes’ shelf life would become a problem in the future. For that reason—she was OUT.
Mark highlighted that while the cupcake market was a growing space at the time, it was not really his specialty. That’s why he was OUT.
Kevin was the only shark that offered Tracey and Danielle a deal.
Here’s a summary of their conversation:
Kevin, Mr. Wonderful: “I love the products, I hate the margins.” He was ready to give to give them the $75,000. Here’s the twist though: He didn’t want any equity. Instead, he wanted a royalty of $1 on every jar sold until he got his money back. Once that is done, the royalty price will drop to 50 cents. Moreover, the mother-daughter gets complete control over the business.
Tracey and Danielle: “We’d like to come back to you with 40 cents a jar in perpetuity.”
Kevin: *Offers a counteroffer of 45 cents a jar.*
Tracey and Danielle accepted the offer and closed the deal.
What Happened After Shark Tank?
In just a short span after the Shark Tank episode aired, Wicked Good Cakes experienced a tremendous response—the sales skyrocketed and the business achieved the yearly numbers in just a couple of weeks.
A year later, it was said that Wicked Good Cakes’ growth was measured as much as 600%.
By 2018, Wicked Good Cakes had become a household name in the cupcakes market. The dynamic duo delivered around 10,000 mason jars daily, earning them close to 10 million dollars in that particular year.
It was no longer a homemade brand. Each Wicked Good Cupcake was getting baked in a massive 21000 square foot facility as it continued hiring more employees.
On its growth journey, Wicked Good Cupcakes also partnered with various nationally renowned companies such as Cinnabon— creating a salted caramel cupcake.
A Golden Deal with Hickory Farms
In June 2021, Hickory Farms, one of the well-known gift retailers in America, acquired Wicked Good Cupcakes. And it makes sense—even before the acquisition, the wicked cupcakes were getting shipped in a gift box. With Hickory Farms and its big customer base, Wicked Good Cupcakes got a perfect opportunity to reach new people.
Is the Wicked Good business still running?
There is no guarantee that every Shark Tank business will become successful and sustainable. However, the Wicked Good Cupcakes business is still going strong. The brand’s gift angle after the Hickory Deal is especially noticeable on its website as it now offers cupcakes for various occasions such as weddings and corporate events.

Cakelicious Founder
Cakelicious is a well-known brand in the bakery industry, providing delicious and high-quality cakes to customers since its inception. The brand has gained a massive following among cake lovers due to its variety of tub cakes, which are made from fresh and natural ingredients.
The founders of Cakelicious Shark Tank, Duriya, and Fatema Barodawala, are passionate about baking and have worked tirelessly to build their brand into what it is today.
Early Beginnings
Duriya and Fatema Barodawala were born and raised in Mumbai, India. They both had a keen interest in baking from a young age and would often experiment with recipes in their home kitchen. They enjoyed baking cakes for friends and family and would often receive compliments on their creations. It was this encouragement that inspired them to turn their passion for baking into a business.
In 2012, Duriya and Fatema decided to start their own cake business, which they named Cakelicious. They started by making cakes for friends and family, and word soon spread about the delicious cakes they were producing. The demand for their cakes grew, and they decided to take their business to the next level.
Building the Cakelicious Brand
Duriya and Fatema knew that building a brand required a lot of hard work and dedication. They spent countless hours perfecting their recipes, experimenting with different ingredients and flavors, and testing new baking techniques. They wanted to create a brand that was synonymous with high-quality, delicious cakes, and that's exactly what they did.
The pair started by creating a variety of tub cakes, which quickly became their best-selling product. They offered a range of flavors, including chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, and lemon, among others. They made sure that their cakes were always made from fresh and natural ingredients, without any artificial preservatives or flavors.
Cakelicious soon became a household name in Mumbai, with people traveling from all over the city to taste their delicious cakes. Duriya and Fatema were thrilled with the success of their business and continued to work hard to build their brand.
Expanding the Business
As the demand for their cakes continued to grow, Duriya and Fatema knew that they needed to expand their business. They opened their first bakery in Mumbai in 2015, which quickly became a popular destination for cake lovers. They employed a team of skilled bakers and cake decorators to help them meet the demand for their cakes.
Cakelicious is committed to sustainability and reducing its environmental impact. They use eco-friendly packaging for their products and encourage their customers to recycle or reuse the packaging. They also source their ingredients from local suppliers to reduce the carbon footprint of transportation. Additionally, they donate a portion of their profits to environmental organizations.
Like any business, Cakelicious has faced its fair share of challenges. One of the biggest challenges they faced was the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced them to temporarily close their physical store and relies solely on online orders.
However, they adapted quickly by offering free delivery and expanding their online presence, which helped them to maintain their customer base and even attract new customers.
As they continue to grow, Duriya and Fatema plan to expand their business to other parts of India and eventually to other countries. They also plan to introduce new products and flavors to keep their customers interested and engaged. Additionally, they plan to increase their charitable initiatives and give back even more to their community.
Today, Cakelicious has several bakery outlets in Mumbai and has also expanded its business to other cities in India. The brand is known for its delicious and high-quality cakes, which are made from fresh and natural ingredients. They offer a variety of tub cakes, as well as other baked goods, including cupcakes, cookies, and pastries.
Community Involvement
Duriya and Fatema have always been committed to giving back to their community. They believe in using their business to make a positive impact on society. Over the years, they have been involved in several charitable initiatives, including donating cakes to orphanages and schools.
They have also been active in supporting the local economy by sourcing their ingredients from local suppliers. They believe in supporting small businesses and have built strong relationships with their suppliers over the years.
Future Plans
Duriya and Fatema are always looking for new ways to grow their business and expand their brand. They are currently working on developing new products and flavors to add to their range of cakes. They also plan to expand their business to other parts of India and eventually to other countries.
They are committed to maintaining the high standards that they have set for their business and ensuring that their cakes are always made from fresh and natural ingredients.

YOUR CUPCAKES LOOK ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE I LOVE THEM! I also love to bake and wonder if you have any favorite recipes or designs of yours that you recommend?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FELLOW BAKING ANON! 🥰 Cupcakes are just my favorite thing to bake and decorate EVER, I've made so many and I'm guilty of crawling pinterest to find new ones to try constantly!
Design wise, some Shark Bite Cupcakes are always a HUGE hit and are one of my favorites! The recipe says put strawberry jam inside but I like to do them with a raspberry jam instead (I use a jar of low sugar raspbery preserves so you get a more tart contrast to the sugary buttercream). It's hilarious to watch people's expression when they hit the little cored section, pull back to see the 'blood' jam, and start laughing.
Cupcake unicorns are adorable so I used the design on this unicorn cupcake recipe for it, but used my own recipes for both the cupcake and frosting since I wasn't sure if I'd like theirs. Bonus - fill batter with sprinkles and add EDIBLE GLITTER on top! This is also where my three color piping bag comes in handy!
My other favorite design, as someone who grew up living near Disneyland and LOVED the Haunted Mansion, is graveyard cupcakes for Halloween! Standard chocolate base, choco buttercream frosting, sprinkle crushed oreo cookies for dirt - then buy a pack of candy tombstones and bones (I stumbled across mine at Michael's, and knew I had to cupcake them 😂) and write funny names (Collin Sick, Noah Scape, Barry M. Deep) or cheesy rhymes on the tombstones just like at Disney (@wonderlandmind4 you might like these too 😆). Stick the little bones up out of the dirt, and you're good to go for Halloween!
Recipe wise I have some absolute workhorses I go back to over and over!
Vanilla buttercream frosting recipe 1 (but swap milk for whipping cream if possible) and vanilla buttercream frosting recipe 2. The first is a little sweeter than #2, so I switch back and forth based on what type of cupcake and/or filling I'm using! I love these and I've used these as bases for a lot of my flavored frosting - apple cider, pumpkin spice, coffee, PB. They work SO well and are so easy and quick to make!
Chocolate buttercream recipe! The espresso powder just YES. And depending on season I add a bit of cinnamon instead of espresso.
If I'm in a hurry or don't have from scratch ingredients and am using box mix for cupcakes, I use this recipe to improve it! So far no one's noticed when I sometimes switch to box mix (used to bake a lot for church on sundays)!
These chocolate cherry cookies are SO FUCKING GOOD! I've tried it with all kinds of cherries and it's GREAT, although I'd advise frosting *after* cause melting in the oven sometimes occurs.
I LITERALLY had people emailing me after doing these apple cider cupcakes.
#baking#baking recipes#cupcakes#i love cupcakes so gd much#they're the perfect size for decorating#i'm always glancing around pinterest looking for designs to try!#but the sharkbite and graveyard cupcakes have been the best!#(during the pandemic i delivered the graveyard ones to friends on halloween while dressed as a plague doctor i'm hilarious)#i've done jack o lanterns and picnic blankets and unicorns#honestly they're all SO much fun

This Is Halloween
This Is Halloween 3600 words, rated G for Genfic
Jack Kline, Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester x Rowena, Castiel, Jody Mills x Donna Hanscum Canon adjacent, mentions of loss, nothing spookier than a skeleton shark coochie tray
None of this would’ve happened without @dawnie1988 giving me ideas, feedback, and cheering me on. Read and repeated discussion by @there-must-be-a-lock as well as read by @mskathywriteswords. The title is a nod to my Squad who provide more love and support than I can ever say thank you for!
***
“Sam, Dean!” Jack’s voice called out over the balcony as the door to the bunker slammed behind him.
Startled, Dean jumped up, reaching for the gun he kept tucked in his waistband.
“No, wait.” Sam stilled him with one hand on his arm. He heard excitement, not alarm, in Jack's words. He spoke in a low voice. “I think this is good.”
Jack clattered down the stairs and ran across the stone floor, sliding to a halt in front of the Winchester brothers.
“Do you know about Halloween?!” he exclaimed breathlessly. Dean rolled his eyes, while Sam shook his head, each waiting for the other to answer. Finally Dean spoke up.
“Uh, yeah, Jack, we do. What about it?”
“See, I went to the grocery store, for snacks, and there was a whole aisle of spooky stuff, skeletons, although they weren’t scientifically correct.” Jack’s brow furrowed as he thought about that. “And candy, so much candy! So I asked the cashier and she said it was Halloween, and people have parties, and everything!”
“I looked it up in my phone. People dress up! There’s food and games!” Jack’s words tumbled over one another in his eagerness. “Do you think we could do Halloween? Do you think we could have a party?!”
“Do you really think, a party, here in the bunker --” Dean began.
“What you have to understand about Halloween is --” Sam started to say.
Both of them trailed off into silence. Jack’s face, beaming up at them, was so eager, so hopeful. Sure, they had their own issues with Halloween. But why put that burden on him?
Finally Sam drew a deep breath. “Okay, Jack. What if we had a Halloween party, here in the bunker?”
“We could invite everyone we know! Cas, of course, all of our friends! We could all dress in costume, have snacks, it would be loads of fun, please oh please?”
Dean turned to Sam, concern written across his face. “Are you sure you’re okay with this?”
Sam nodded. “Jack is right. It sounds like fun.”
“Yes, okay? Thank you, thank you so much. You guys are the best!” Jack hugged first Sam, then Dean, before turning to leave. “I can’t wait to text Cas! Of course he’ll want to come.”
Dean turned to his younger brother. “Are you sure you’re okay with this? I know how you feel about this holiday.”
Sam set his chin, his lips thin. “We can’t live in the past forever. Too much has happened over the years.”
“But Halloween-”
Sam drew in a deep breath. “Halloween was the last time I saw the love of my life alive and happy, okay? It still hurts, when I think about it. “But Jack is our family, you know? He’s really just a kid, and we both want the best for him. If this is what makes him happy, I’m good with it.”
After a long moment, Dean clapped him on the shoulder. “Okay. As long as you mean that.” Sam nodded, so Dean continued. “I guess I’ve got to figure out what this kid thinks you eat at a Halloween party.”
The brothers didn’t see Jack again until dinnertime. They soon realized that he must have spent most of the afternoon on the internet, researching Halloween. Ideas spilled from his lips, one right after the other: carving pumpkins, themed cupcakes, lights on the walls, presents under the Haunting Tree-
“Hold up.” Dean stopped him with an upraised hand. “I think maybe you researched a little too hard and are getting your holidays mixed up. We can do some of those things, not all of them. We have a week, let’s make a plan.”
“Dean, you’ll cook for the party, won’t you? Sam can help me with decorations. Cas is already coming, and I will invite Donna and Jody. Oh, and Rowena!”
“No Rowena.” Dean shook his head sternly.
Next to him, Sam smirked, knowing that it was a battle Dean would never win, outnumbered two to one.
***
Jack decided the library was the perfect room for a party, and he had grand plans to cover every wall and shelf with decorations. His internet searches kept turning up more and more ideas and party themes, each more elaborate than the last.
At first, Sam tried to keep things simple and inexpensive, but after a while, he gave in. He took Jack shopping, let him buy the silly spooky stuff that caught his eye. What the hell, he thought to himself, the credit cards were fake anyway. He only put his foot down when it came to anything gory or macabre. They had enough of that the rest of the year.
Jack’s favorite purchase of all was a fake electronic raven. It was motion sensitive, and when someone triggered it, it would caw or cackle or call out “Nevermore.” He thought it was the most hilarious thing he had ever seen, and insisted that it was exactly what he needed to celebrate Halloween in style.
Jack had as many ideas for food as he did for decorations, constantly making new suggestions to Dean. Finally Dean sat him down and pared down his requests to a few key treats, before assuring Jack that he could handle the rest of the menu.
The next day, Sam headed to the kitchen for breakfast after a run and was surprised to see glossy magazines on the table. He turned the pages idly, realizing that they were all full of nothing but recipes and ideas for Halloween.
When Dean joined him, Sam shot him a teasing glance. “Got grand ideas for this party, huh, big brother?”
“Hey, it’s important to Jack.” Dean might’ve blushed, but his face was earnest.
“You sure it’s important to Jack, and not to you, to make Spooky Seven Layer Salad and Stuffed Olive Eyeballs, and oooh, what are Mummy Fingers?” Sam raised his eyebrows.
“I wanna make him proud.” Dean answered. Sam understood the things left unsaid - that food was important to Dean, after too many years growing up hungry or stealing just to eat. Having a kitchen where he could cook was one of the ways he made the bunker a home for his family.
“I know he will be.” Sam said. “I always liked your cooking.”
Dean understood the affirmation behind Sam’s praise, and nodded gratefully.
Seeing the others happy helped Sam accept the festivities. He hated Halloween, but he loved Jack. There were days when he remembered that the young man was the most powerful being in the universe. But most of the time, he just seemed like a kid, and the closest thing to a son he or Dean would ever have.
If this was what it took to make Jack happy, bad memories be damned, Sam would do it. Plus, if he was honest with himself, he didn’t hate the idea of having a few of their friends together. For once, it would be something fun instead of another monster hunt.
The one thing he couldn’t bring himself to get excited about was a costume. Jack was insistent on costumes all around. Dean and Sam both asked him what his costume would be, but he kept it a closely guarded secret.
While they discussed costumes, they also argued about the guest list. Dean kept teasing that Rowena wasn’t welcome. Sam knew his brother’s opposition to his girlfriend was all bluster, but Jack still sometimes fell for the disputes.
Finally one day, Dean approached Sam, a wide smile on his face. “I've solved your costume problem! We’ve made a deal, me and that little witch of yours. She can come to the party, as long as you wear the costume she picks out.”
“Whoa, hey, how is that a deal?” Sam protested, although he knew it was futile. “You do nothing, and I have to wear whatever costume she decides?”
“Have fun, Braveheart!” Dean smirked, clapping him on the shoulder.
How Rowena got Amazon delivery to the Bunker was a mystery to Sam and an irritation to Dean. Still, the box showed up the morning of the party. When Sam opened it, the box held just one thing: a sort of crown, a gold colored circlet with branches - or were they antlers?
Rowena’s only instructions were to dress like a hunter. Since he was a hunter, that was not especially helpful. In his room, Sam tried on the crown. With his usual flannel and plaid, it seemed out of place.
Then he remembered Dean jokingly calling him Braveheart, recalling the case the two of them had worked where Charlie talked them into LARPing. Charlie. Sam shook his head with a sad smile. She would’ve loved to attend a bunker Halloween party! She would’ve had the perfect brilliant nerdy costume, too.
He dug into his work disguises and found the loose tan tunic he had worn on that case. Even over jeans, it made the crown seem more fitting. He straightened his shoulders and took a deep breath. That was better.
“Cas is here!” Sam turned to see Jack scamper down the hall. He and Dean arrived in the entry of the bunker just as Cas and Jack embraced at the base of the stairs. It registered to Sam that Dean was in a cowboy costume, but before he could say anything, Dean spoke up.
“Cas, I believe the invitation said, no costume, no party.” Cas was wearing the same thing as always, a tan trench coat over a white shirt and dress pants with a tie. He nodded, and reached into the inner pocket of his coat.
“Agent Swift,” he declared, holding up a badge that said BSI. “Bureau of Supernatural Investigation.” Then he grinned, a wide smile that lit his face and crinkled the corners of his blue eyes. Dean laughed, and clapped him on the shoulder while Sam smiled and shook his head.
“Okay, come help me with my costume!” Jack grabbed Cas by the hand and all but dragged him out of the room.
Sam turned to Dean and looked more closely at what he was wearing. He wore a buff vest over his usual plaid flannel and jeans, a hat hanging over his shoulders by a rawhide cord. “Dude, Tombstone?”
“At least I’m not a - horny man?” Dean chuckled.
Sam scoffed. “Shouldn’t you be cooking? Putting cat brains in jello or something?”
“Actually, yeah, and I could use your help. Wanna wrap some mummies?” Dean took in the baffled expression on his brothers’ face. “It’s cocktail wieners and crescent dough.” Sam nodded hesitantly, following his brother to the bunker kitchen.
The Winchesters made more than one trip from the kitchen to the library, carrying trays of food, bowls of snacks, drinks, and candy. Sam stayed back to make sure the lights were on and everything was ready while Dean made one more trip for his proudest creation - a tray of sliced meat and cheese arranged just so around a plastic skeleton.
“Gross, Dean,” Sam said, unable to hide either the admiration in his tone or his little smile.
“I know, right?!” Dean crowed, swiping a bite.
Just then, Cas and Jack returned. At first, Jack seemed to be dressed like Cas in a long tan robe. But he had on a scarf and a headband with green ears and -
“You’re Baby Yoda?!” Sam exclaimed.
“I am dressed as the diminutive character portrayed on television’s The Mandelorian, although I am technically neither Baby nor Yoda-” whatever else Jack had to say was cut short by Sam’s engulfing hug.
Dean rolled his eyes before he pushed Sam aside for a hug of his own.
“How did this kid get to be such a nerd?” Dean asked Sam as Jack looked at his phone and then ran for the stairs.
“Like you don’t know!” Sam retorted.
“You are the one who showed him Star Wars.”
“You bought him comic books. Watchmen, and The Boys?”
Jack’s excited voice cut into the brothers’ bickering. “Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel!” He gestured with a flourish as Jody and Donna entered the library hand in hand.
Jody was wearing jeans and a kimono jacket that was red across the shoulders, blue starred below, with a wide gold band. Next to her, Donna was wearing a blue dress with red and stars around the neckline. She wore a brown belt around her waist and tall boots that matched the belt.
Sam and Dean welcomed their friends with broad smiles and warm hugs. Jack bounded around them like an excited puppy, showing off his costume and asking about theirs.
“Come on into the spooky library,” Sam intoned with a deep voice and a wave.
“Let’s eat!” Dean exclaimed, clapping his hands.
The six of them were comfortable together, talking and laughing easily. Dean’s themed food offerings were great, the presentation hilarious but the taste even better. The drinks flowed freely: beer and hard seltzer and sodas.
Jack took great delight in making sure everyone passed by his electronic raven repeatedly so that it croaked out greetings as often as possible. Everyone loved Jack, so they indulged him and never once suggested that they might be tired of hearing it.
Jody asked just once what Sam was meant to be, in his crown of branches or antlers.
“A horny man!” Dean joked.
“Rowena sent it,” was all Sam had to offer, shrugging.
Jody nodded. She knew all about what a person would do for the woman they loved. She raised one eyebrow in query.
“Where is Rowena?” she asked. “I can’t believe she would miss a chance to dress up.
“Oh yeah, isn’t she gonna be here?” Donna spoke up.
“Actually,” Jack chimed in, looking up from his phone. “Sam, head out to meet her.”
He walked out to the echoing entryway as Rowena appeared at the top of the stairs, dressed head to toe in shimmering black.
“A witch is never late,” she spoke as she descended. “Everyone else is simply early.”
Sam met her at the base of the stairs and she slipped one hand into his. He took in her costume slowly: a black dress that clung to all her curves, sparkling bits of jewelry at her throat and wrists. Most strikingly, she wore a cape of black feathers, iridescent with dark purple, green and gold.
Her head was adorned with a thin circlet of gold, much like Sam’s, but where his had branches reaching upward, hers had feathers carved away from her temples. Her hair was dressed with braids and feathers and bits of jet black crystal woven into the riot of curls spilling down over her shoulders.
The apparition of a raven trailed behind her, wings fluttering to keep up. Sam held out his hand and she took it so he could lead her to the library.
“A Queen of Ravens?” he asked.
“The Morrigan,” she replied, sweeping her cloak around her in a swirl. “And you are my Cernunnos. Well done with the costume.”
He bent down to brush a kiss on her upturned lips before they joined the others.
***
Jack was wildly jealous of Rowena’s raven, since his electronic toy was fixed to a shelf. But she praised his good taste and spoke a few words that allowed her familiar to follow his direction. That resulted in two ravens saying “Nevermore” in chorus, but it tickled Jack so much that no one had the heart to stop it.
Donna and Cas commandeered the aux cord, playing a mix of pop and classic rock. Jody and Dean delved into a discussion of firearms. Jack bounded from person to person, handing out candy and eating at least as much as he was giving.
Sam and Rowena snuck off to a quiet corner of the library, which was where Dean found them with a big book on the table in front of them. Rowena was standing, pointing to the pages as she explained Cernunnos. Sam was fixated, not on the book, but on her face, on the way her eyes sparkled and her lips curved as she read.
“Hey nerds,” Dean interrupted them. “It’s Halloween, time to party, not to read books and get heart eyes and make out in dark corners.”
“We weren’t making out!” Sam protested.
“Not yet,” Rowena cooed, taking his hand.
As the night wore on, everyone took turns choosing songs, the playlist ranging from classic rock to blues to Scottish folk tunes to cheesy pop monster music. They cut loose and danced, together or alone.
Rowena attempted to teach Jack a few heel-toe folk dance steps, but Dean picked it up faster. Sam danced by himself for a while, long-limbed and rhythmic. Cas surprised them all by knowing moves to viral music videos; apparently he had been doing research on TikTok.
Jody and Donna were wrapped in one another's arms, slow dancing and sneaking kisses, whether the music suited it or not. Donna put on Little Big Town’s “Girl Crush” and sang along softly, lips next to Jody’s ear, for her alone. Jody let her eyes flutter close, resting her chin on Donna’s shoulder, melting into her embrace.
Rowena watched the two of them with a fond smile on her face, while the boys turned to the snacks, giving the two of them their moment together alone.
It was almost midnight when Jack turned off the music, clapped for attention, and announced that it was time for Trick or Treat. He would be going around the room with a plastic jack o’ lantern bucket, and each guest was to perform a trick. If he liked it, they got a treat.
“So get this,” Sam started. “Trick or treat isn’t exactly-”
Dean put a hand on his arm. “Hold up. This is gonna be good.”
Jack approached the ladies first. Jody asked for a ribbon, which Rowena provided, and wove a Cat’s Cradle in her hands. Jack was fascinated, and made her repeat it several times before he gave her a treat. Donna pulled chairs aside to clear space, and did a cartwheel. Everyone clapped, and Jack decided that was worthy of two treats.
Cas made his BSI badge disappear and reappear, using only sleight of hand, no real magic. Jack tried over and over to copy him, with no success.
Dean walked over to one of the bookshelves and retrieved a handgun from behind the bound volumes. He had Jack blindfold him and then field stripped and reassembled it in under one minute. Sam recited a spell in Latin. When he was done, Dean stage whispered, “Isn’t that a recipe for laundry soap?” Sam laughed. It was, but he had recited it flawlessly. Jack gave them both treats.
Rowena’s trick, though, was the best one of all. She had previously enchanted her raven to sit next to Jack’s toy. Now she commanded his to fly about and sit on his shoulder. He was overcome with glee at this, and offered her every last treat he had.
When Jack skipped away, followed by a flutter of wings, Rowena turned to Sam, her hands full of candy.
“He’s a dear,” she cooed. “But these are all ghastly American sweeties.”
“Don’t worry.” Dean stepped up, holding a small box. “I’ll be happy to trade you.”
“Oh, you have Lindt!” She dumped the chocolate she held into his outstretched hand and reached for the treat he was offering her.
“Really, Dean?” Sam was surprised, and impressed.
“Well, I wanted everyone to have something, and I know how god awful picky she is.” Dean shrugged and then started as Rowena booped his nose with a smirk.
“Do I have to learn corvid care?” Sam asked Rowena as Dean walked away.
“Oh no!” Her laugh was quick and bright. “It will be back to a simple electronic toy before the morrow.”
The trick or treat was Jack’s last activity for the night, as he was soon on the verge of nodding off, his raven flapping lazily on his shoulder. Cas pointed him down the hall towards bed, where he fell asleep so full of candy and treats that he was still wearing his Baby Yoda headpiece.
The rest of the party drifted towards the kitchen, to the comfortable familiar space at the heart of the bunker. Dean gradually put away what was left of the more perishable food, sipping from a tumbler of whiskey as he walked in and out of the room.
Donna and Jody snuggled together on one side of the table, trading kisses and feeding one another chocolate candies.
Sam leaned back against the counter comfortably, Rowena wrapped in his arms. He had made her a proper cup of tea, and she sipped as she enjoyed her treats, the two of them whispering in low voices.
Dean raised his glass and caught his eye.
“I think this is good,” Sam said softly. “New memories.”
Nothing could change the past, but he didn’t live there anymore. This was their home, surrounded by their family and friends. This was their Halloween.

Halloween prompt, thinking waay back to the Bakery AU. Angie, Stan, and Lute make a bet, winner gets to pick Halloween costumes for the others
Thank you for the Bakery AU prompt! I love that AU, it’s so Wholesome. So here’s some more Wholesome content. Enjoy!
——————————————————————————————
“That’s not enough punkin.”
“Not-” Stan sighed and looked over at Lute, who was watching him make pumpkin cheesecake cookies. “You told me to always follow the recipe after I fucked up that cake.”
“Yes.”
“I’m following the recipe.”
“Hmm.” Lute squinted at the recipe taped to the wall in front of Stan. “Oh, I see. We need to update the recipe. Last time we made it, it wasn’t punkiny enough.”
“Why do you pronounce ‘pumpkin’ like that?” Stan muttered. Lute shrugged. “Anyways, there’s no pumpkin left. I just dumped the last of it into the bowl.”
“That ain’t a problem.” Lute reached under the counter and pulled out a pumpkin, then plopped it onto the counter. Stan stared at it. “Chop it in half, scoop out the guts, roast it in the oven, then ya can use the flesh. Oh, and don’t forget to save the seeds. We roast ‘em fer use in other things.”
“You’re joking,” Stan said flatly.
“You were there when we bought a bunch of sugar punkins. What did ya think we got ‘em for?” Lute teased. Stan groaned loudly.
“Angie, your twin is torturing me!” he called to Angie, who was a few feet away. Angie didn’t respond. Stan turned. “Angie?”
“Mm-hmm,” Angie mumbled, clearly intensely focused on decorating cupcakes.
“Lute is torturing me,” he repeated.
“That’s nice,” Angie said. Lute snickered.
“Whine to her after she’s done,” Lute suggested. Stan scowled at Lute. “Finish up those cookies, feller.”
-----
Stan had begun the next batch of cookies, salted caramel, when Angie finally finished decorating. She stretched, working out the kinks from standing in the same position for so long.
“All right, what were ya tryin’ to talk at me about?” she asked, turning to face Stan.
“Oh, I was just saying that Lute was torturing me,” Stan said with a shrug. He cracked an egg into the mixing bowl. “We ran out of pumpkin, and he made me make more.”
“That ain’t torture. That’s teachin’ ya some more cookin’,” Angie said dismissively. Stan rolled his eyes.
“Shoulda figured you’d side with him.” He looked over at the cupcakes Angie had been decorating. “You spent a lot of time on those.”
“You really want to win the contest, huh?” Lute asked, walking over to look at the cupcakes. Stan followed. He looked over the cupcakes, smiling faintly. They had been decorated with cutesy, cartoonish versions of mummies, ghosts, vampires, zombies, and other classic Halloween monsters.
And she tries to say she sucks at decorating. She’s way too hard on herself. What Lute had said registered.
“Wait, what contest?” he asked. Lute raised an eyebrow.
“Ya don’t recall? You agreed to participate in it, Stanley. Y’know, the person who wins gets to choose what we wear fer Halloween.”
“Oh, right, that,” Stan said. “We’re selling things at that fair tomorrow.” Lute and Angie nodded. “The person who sells the most wins. But why does Angie’s decorating have anything to do with that?”
“We changed the rules a bit,” Angie said, beginning to carefully put her cupcakes into containers for transportation. “Now, ya get a point fer each item you sell, and an additional point fer each item sold that you made, even if you didn’t sell that item yourself.”
“That’s why you’re going hard with the decorating.”
“Yep!” Angie grinned. “Don’t worry, we took into account the fact that yer still new to bakin’ and decoratin’. The cookies are bestsellers.”
“But they have to be made to be sold,” Lute said, elbowing Stan. “So ya best get back to work! You’ve still got chocolate chip, peanut butter, snickerdoodle, and sugar cookies to make.”
“…And decorate,” Stan groaned.
“If ya want, I can make some royal icing fer ya,” Angie offered. Stan shook his head.
“No, I want a fair fight,” he said. Lute and Angie beamed. Lute clapped a hand on Stan’s shoulder.
“That’s the spirit!”
-----
“I fucked up,” Stan said, staring at the pastries laid out before him. They’d set up their stand at the fair, and now that Stan saw his decorations next to the McGuckets’, he had some regrets. Lute had taken a route similar to Angie. His treats – the square-shaped ones like brownies, blondies, marshmallow rice bars, and pumpkin bars – had been decorated with adorable symbols of Halloween, like bats and pumpkins.
Stan, however, had gone the other direction. His cookies were decorated with bloodshot eyeballs, severed fingers, and brains. Even compared to the things sold by other stands, his realistic, gory decorations stuck out.
“I don’t know,” Angie said, picking up a cookie to look at it thoughtfully. Her nose wrinkled. “There’s prob’ly a market fer decorated goodies like this.”
“You did a really good job,” Lute said. “I have no clue how ya got ‘em to be so realistic. You have quite a talent fer artwork.”
“Yeah, but that’s not gonna help me win the competition,” Stan groaned. “Guess I’ll just have to make sure I sell as much as possible. Speaking of, when’s my shift?”
“Yer last,” Lute said.
“What? But there won’t be anyone here to sell to!”
“Yer the best at selling,” Angie explained. “We had to take the edge off that skill by givin’ ya the worst shift. Lute’s the worst at sellin’, so he’s got the best shift.” Stan squinted at her.
“Why’d you make this so complicated?”
“We’re rather competitive,” Angie said, leaning against the stand. “It can get…nasty. The more rules we have in place, the more methods we have fer reducin’ potential bias, the less likely we’ll be sore losers at the end.”
“…Fair,” Stan said, thinking back to the first time he’d played a board game with the siblings. By the end of it, the normally amicable brother and sister had been at each other’s throats. Lute put an arm around Stan’s shoulders.
“Let’s go goof off a bit while Angie takes up the first shift.”
“Yes, please leave,” Angie said. She made a shooing motion. “You two ‘re scarin’ off customers!”
-----
Stan adjusted his eyepatch and grinned at his reflection. Being pirates for Halloween was the right choice.
Stan and Lute waited for Angie to finish adding up all the points. She let out a loud groan.
“Dangit!”
“Who won?” Lute asked. Angie scowled.
“Stan.”
“Wait, what?” Stan asked, startled. “But there weren’t any people around to sell to during my shift.”
“No, but yer cookies were a huge success. People loved the spooky decorations,” Angie sighed. She tucked the pencil she’d been using to add up the points behind one ear. “Ya took a risk that ended up payin’ off.”
“Great,” Lute muttered, slumping against the pickup truck. “I had a splendid idea fer costumes.” He eyed Stan. “Don’t pick anything sexy, okay? I don’t want Angie to be dressed in some short skirt ‘n skintight shirt.”
“I also would not like to see my sibling in a sexy costume,” Angie said. “And ya best not wear a sexy costume neither. We have pastries to sell on Halloween.” Stan rolled his eyes.
“There goes my plan.”
“Halloween ain’t until next week, so’s ya have a little while to come up with somethin’,” Lute said. “Just make it appropriate.”
There was a knock on the bathroom door.
“Come in,” Stan said, messing with his shirt. Lute opened the door. He frowned.
“Really? An eyepatch?” he asked. Stan looked over.
“You have a parrot,” he pointed out. Lute flushed slightly and adjusted the stuffed animal parrot affixed to his shoulder.
“Shut up,” Lute mumbled. Angie appeared behind Lute. Stan nodded approvingly at her pirate costume, particularly her tall, dark brown boots.
“Looking nice, Angie,” he commented. Angie grinned and adjusted her tricorn hat. “But, uh, the gun?” Angie looked down at the shotgun she was holding.
“Delilah can be part of my costume,” she argued. “Pirates had guns.”
“I don’t think they had shotguns,” Lute said. “And also, ya prob’ly shouldn’t bring a weapon into the bakery.” Angie sighed.
“Fine,” she groaned. She stalked away, then returned a few moments later, without her gun. “Come on, fellers, we best open up fer the day.”
“I’ll be down in a minute,” Stan promised. Angie and Lute left. Stan looked at his reflection again. This time last year, he’d been homeless, living out of his car, on the run from loan sharks. Now, he had a steady job and a place to stay, even if he and Lute did share a bedroom. He tightened his ponytail and winked at his reflection.
Not to mention, I make a damn fine pirate.

Hey!! Can I get the org as youtubers?? Love your writing!!
Xemnas
Internet cryptid. Rarely shows his face. Uploading schedule is random and everyone is always surprised and excited when he decides to post a new video.
Everyone flocks to his channel for his voice. Most of his videos are of him reciting poetry or short stories. Has the perfect voice that makes you feel as though you’re listening to an audiobook. That being said, he goes pretty far into the ASMR thing, usually with his low voice reading to you, but everyone loves it so he doesn’t really want to change.
Doesn’t go to conventions or events, partly because he wants to keep the mystery of his appearance alive and partly because he doesn’t like meeting people.
Xigbar
Literally posts whatever the hell he wants, maybe once or twice a week depending on how busy he is. His channel is very Jenna Marbles-esque in the sense that he goes off the rails all the time. He’ll video himself trying a new workout routine, attempting and failing to cook a meal, going to a gun range another day, getting Xion to paint his nails in another video, telling stories about why he wears an eye patch that get more and more ridiculous as he goes on, etc.
Chill with fans. He’s super casual and actually likes meeting fans. Will be cool with you if you’re cool with him and don’t treat him as some big celebrity. He’s just a random guy who makes a few videos on the internet and that’s how he wants everyone to see him.
Xaldin
A workout channel, of course! Does a series of different types of workout routines that are good for different people with different body types and different levels of energy. A very body positive channel! Also has a series on different types of diets and the positives and negatives of each - more in regards to living healthier lifestyles than losing weight.
Went viral during a collab with Lexaeus about healthy food and organic versus non-organic fruits and veggies.
Will definitely talk to fans if they meet on the street or by chance, but doesn’t really go to conventions. He does videos because he finds it fun, not because he wants to be famous.
Vexen
Has a Bill Nye the Science Guy type of channel where he teaches people about the wonders of science and how science can answer nearly every question you might have about the universe. Did a whole, scathing series about climate change that went completely viral and caused quite a few stubborn conservatives to condemn his channel, but he’s fairly well-liked throughout the entirety of the scientific community.
One of those rare Youtubers that actually has a day job as a scientist for some fancy laboratory or university.
Doesn’t really like meeting fans because he doesn’t know how to talk to people, but will happily talk if someone strikes up a conversation that happens to be particularly intriguing.
Lexaeus
Honestly, this man has a cooking channel, but the actual cooking content varies. He has a whole series about cooking tips and hacks, as well as good tools to have in your kitchen. Videos concerning food range from beautiful aesthetic baking recipes for cookies and cupcakes to an Epic Meal Time level of food insanity.
His fans are intimidated when approaching him because he’s so large and intimidating, but they soon realize that he’s actually a sweetheart and is happy to answer questions and give tips to his viewers when he meets them.
Zexion
Mostly does reviews about things. The majority of them are about books, but he’ll sometimes do movies if they were book-to-movie adaptations. His reviews are fair, brilliant, and well-thought out, so he’s actually been approached by several movie studios that wanted him to review scripts before they start production.
Feels like he’s awkward around fans but they don’t think so. Gets exhausted by social interaction so he’ll talk to people, but he has to take some time alone afterward to re-charge.
Saix
Makes How To videos and educational videos. Saix’s channel is something you stumbled across when looking for tips for writing a resumé or for tips when going into a job interview.
Fairly informative in his videos, if a bit long-winded. The videos are worth the full watch, though, because he has some scathing, dry humor that you enjoy.
Did a whole series on his channel about politics - the important of voting, explaining governmental processes, explaining impeachment, giving information about various candidates, etc. This is the series that really made his channel fly up in subscribers.
Awkward with fans and doesn’t know how to interact with people fawning over him. Stopped going to events after some girl groped his ass because he felt too uncomfortable.
Axel
A travel blog! He goes all over the world - worlds - exploring the sights and local favorite spots. He gets a little extreme sometimes because he likes to try everything, whether that’s scuba diving with sharks, sky diving, riding camels through a desert, rock and mountain climbing, etc., but he likes to have the full experience.
He also does gaming, mostly group games like PUBG or Overwatch or Gary’s Mod games that he can co-op with Roxas.
Absolutely loves meeting fans. He really cares about his fans and loves making conversations with them - everyone finds him really easy to talk to, so they flock to conventions when they hear he’s going to be in attendance.
Demyx
A music channel! He writes his own music, does covers of popular songs, experiments with different instruments, does online lessons and teaches how to tune certain instruments.
He also does some travel stuff with Axel, depending on where Axel happens to go. They always have a lot of fun together so they like to collab whenever they have the chance.
Adores meeting fans and gives some really awesome hugs! Gets super excited and flattered whenever anyone recognizes him in public.
Luxord
Does a little bit of everything. Got popular with doing unboxing videos for different types of subscription boxes. Also does a follow-me around where he goes to different sights around his hometown and explores things. Has a series of videos about classic foods and snacks from England.
Surprisingly, he first went viral for a video explaining what Brexit was and why it was important to vote.. Everyone was super impressed with the resources and information that he gave in the video.
Doesn’t mind meeting fans but doesn’t go to conventions or events. He’s usually pretty busy, so he’ll probably stop for a picture and a handshake and be on his way.
Marluxia
Marluxia’s channel is a mash of makeup tutorials and gardening tips. He has the most phenomenal garden that people love to look at and makes videos about soil pH, fertilizer and composting, and which plants go well with different types of environments and weather.
But then he also has his beauty guru side where he makes these incredible makeup tutorials that people can’t understand how he can possibly have such a steady hand when doing his contour and eyeshadow.
Viewers are a combination of 60 year old men and women looking for gardening tips and teenagers looking for makeup tips. Is fine with talking with the teenagers but will absolutely have hour-long conversations with anyone who starts talking to him about his plants.
Larxene
Self-defense, particularly for women who need to protect themselves but they could be applied to men, too. Good friends with Xaldin and has him on her channel a lot, usually when she needs a test dummy to try out new moves on. It helps her viewers to know that even though she’s small, she can still take out guys twice her size - and that her viewers can, too!
Sometimes does makeup tests with Marluxia because she can make some wicked sharp eyeliner wings.
She’s pretty cool with meeting fans as long as you’re cool with her. Do not hit on her or think you have a right to monopolize her time just because you’re a fan. You will regret it.
Roxas
Roxas is first and foremost a gaming youtuber. He loves video games and would play them all day every day if he could. Sometimes does charity livestreams on Twitch and he’s raised a lot of money for good causes!
Doesn’t really have a particular kind of game he plays - has a fondness for Nintendo, but he’ll play a little of everything. it really depends on what kind of mood he’s in at the time.
Gets really shy around meeting fans but he loves his fans to pieces! He thinks that they’re all super awesome and give great recommendations for new games he should try.
Xion
Craft videos! Xion loves arts and crafts so you can bet that she’s going to be showing you how to make different projects in an easy and fun way that doesn’t cause too much stress. She also dabbles in trying different types of painting, sculpting, sketching, nail art, etc., and makes awesome tutorials that are easy to follow.
Gets embarrassed around fans because she’s super flattered that anyone would love her videos enough to watch them consistently.
Xion gets the occasional fan that’s a little… too familiar with her, but she usually has someone with her when she goes to cons and events, so they happily act as her bodyguard.
Collabs with other Youtubers a lot, particularly Lexaeus, to everyone’s surprise. They usually do videos together when Lexaeus makes some kind of sweet dessert.

But we hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed writing it! And be prepared for more- way more~!
Chapter One - Three New Freaks
“Beau-”
“On it, mom!” the young teen ran off to get the door for his aunt.
The family of friends were in an empty cafe, the shop not having been opened for the day yet. It was early, as it was the only time the busy group could really get together anymore, but Nora and Ania were determined to have at least one hour with everyone.
It was normally casual, with Ania bringing some type of breakfast food and Cybele would make everyone their favorite drinks. It was peaceful and each person tended to enjoy the simple get togethers before their busy days.
“Quit smoking in my cafe,” Cybele glared at Castiel as he pulled a cigarette out of his mouth, “And get off the table. Sit like a normal person.”
Altair chuckled as he leaned back in his chair, “Oh, but don’t ya know sis? Gay’s can’t sit like normal people~!”
Cybele rolled her eyes, muttering something under her breath as she set the tray of coffee and other drinks down. She crossed her arms at the two men, “For one moment, can either of you be serious?”
Castiel chuckled as he flicked his cigarette out the window. "I don't think that's possible." He laid his chin in the palm of his hand. "No gays are ever normal, even in the slightest! Especially this gay!" He points to himself with pride.
Nevier shook her head as she poured vodka into her black coffee, “I’ll be dead by lunch…”
Beau came back with a smile as he took a seat by his mom, “Got Aunt Ania!” he said proudly towards Nevier.
“Good job, kid.” Nevier muttered, making Beau even happier.
Ania smiled softly as she sat down at the table Castiel was laying on. "I have pancakes!"
“Oh! Are they the ones filled with chocolates chips and made with-"
"Buttercream?" She chuckles, seeing her friend so excited. "Why yes, yes they are."
The blonde man practically dove for the container. "I call dibs on the biggest one!"
Beau pouted, “B-But I want that one!”
“Eh, just have more than one,” Nevier shrugged as she drank her loaded coffee.
“Right!” Beau smiled, “More than one! HA, beat that Cassie!!”
"... Fuck you, kid."
“Castiel!"
"What!? He knows curse words! He's a teenager!"
"He's a baby!"
“Don’t fucking curse around my kid,” Nevier glared, “Bitch.”
"But you just-" He stops. "... Fine. Whatever." He pouts, eating his pancake from hand.
“I brought syrup!!” Nora giggled as she came in late with the sweet topping.
"Thank you, darling!" Ania smiled, watching the woman come in.
"... I had sex with a man covered in syrup once."
"Could you keep your sex-life to yourself for one minute?" Ania pleads.
“Yeah, there are innocent souls here,” Altair teased, “But please~ That all you got?! That’s nothin- one time-”
“How am I related to you?” Cybele glared in judgement, “And how the hell do I know you? Oh wait, I don't.” she turned away from Cas and went to the back to clean a bit before she had to open the doors.
“... Because I'm fucking your brother like, twice a week?"
"And ok!" Ania laughs nervously, thankfully covering Beau’s ears the entire time. "Enough of that, thank you Cassie!"
Nevier leaned forward on the table, a small chuckle at her son’s disappointed face as he threw his pancake back on his plate.
“Even with Aunt Ania’s hands covering my ears, I know what they said. They never seem to talk about anything else….”
“Don't worry,” Nora sat down and got a pancake, “I heard some new people are coming to town soon, maybe they will have something more interesting to listen to?”
"Oh! Then I have to get to the bakery right away!" Ania stands, grabbing her bag. "I want to give them a warm welcome!" She gives Beau's head a soft kiss as well as Nevier’s. "I'll see you all later!"
"How come THEY get a kiss and not me!?" Castiel pouts. "I'm the better friend!"
Nevier had smiled at Ania, but nearly snapped her neck to glare at Castiel. Her eyes were dark, “You’re on thin fucking ice, pal.”
“M-Mom, you two are still doing this?” Beau tilted his head with a nervous chuckle.
“You bet your ass they are,” Altair chuckled, “They have been like this since our first year in college! It’s their own little bond… fighting over who is ‘best friend’ to Ania!”
"That's because I'VE known her longer! I took her to homecoming! AND prom!" He boasts. "I deserve best friend kisses!"
Nora shook her head with a chuckle before standing up, “I-I’m gonna head out-”
“And what?” Nevier shrugged, “I helped her through college while you completely disappeared, and what- you dressing up like a little girl is supposed to top that?” she smirked as she took another sip of her alcoholic coffee.
"I've literally told off ALL of her bullies, kindergarten through twelve grade! Do you know how many times she's had to come over to MY house because she was cornered on her way home from school!? And-"
“Oh god, Nevs,” Altair groaned, “Why must you two always do this!?”
“And were you the one that lived with her for nearly four years?~” Nevier muttered proudly as she took a drink.
He opens his mouth to retort back but just sighs and stand up. "Fuck this." He makes his way over to Altairs and kisses him heatedly, this was surprisingly normal for the two. "Don't think this isn't over." He growls out when he pulled away.
Beau looked away with a frustrated glare and Nevier slapped the two, which wasn't new either, “Stop being sluts in front of my kid!!”
"I can’t! It's impossible!" He argued, kissing Altair’s cheek before walking out. "See you during lunch, Babe~!" He purred out, as if nothing happened.
Altair smiled knowingly, about to respond before seeing his sisters’ glares. Cybele had come out when she heard Nevier shout. The man nervously kept his smile as he tried to ignore them and nods at Castiel.
“You’re not having a lunch break.” Nevier growls.
“W-What!?” Altair stood up quickly, “Y-You can’t do that-”
“And you’re going to fight me?” Nevier glared.
“N-No…”
-:< Inside Anias Bakery >:-
The tiny woman was already hard at work making cupcakes for the newcomers. They lived in a small town, the kind of town where everyone knew everyone. It was small, peaceful, nothing really exciting ever happened there. And they hardly got any new people, so word got around quickly.
The small bell that hung above Anias door rang, signaling that someone had opened the door. "Oh! Hello! You must the new comers!" She smiled softly, walking over with a tray of cupcakes.
“Hey-” a short woman with dark skin waved casually as her other hand was stuffed into her hoodie pocket.
“Salutations!!” a lanky tall person with dyed red hair smiled wide, their teeth unusually sharp.
The shorter woman glared at the pale person for interrupting her, “Excuse-”
"Bonjour Mademoiselle~!" A loud voice called out.
Ania simply blinked and suddenly a women's lips were on her hand, "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Angelique~! It is a pleasure to be in the presence of such beauty~!" The woman, who announced herself as Angelique, continued to kiss Anias hand all the way to her arm.
“O-Oh my." Ania laughs nervously. "Hello?"
Rowen rolled her eyes at the woman, “I’m Rowen-” she looked towards the distracted tall person that was cooing at the nicely decorated cup cakes, “And this idiot is Bell.”
"It’s a pleasure to meet you three!" She takes her hand back, clearing her throat. "Cupcake? They're a family recipe!"
"Thank you, beautiful lady, I shall cherish these delicious confections, knowing that they were made by your delicate hands~!" She announces, holding one hand to her heart and the other holding a cupcake proudly.
“Can you not…” Rowen complained as she took a cupcake.
“OOOH!” Bell shouted, “Can I have this one?” it was a cupcake decorated as a little shark.
"Of course! Take as many as you'd like!"
"Thank you, mademoiselle~ Your kindness is like a breath of fresh air," She stops and sniffs the air. "... Or fresh Lavender."
Beau came in, “Hey- oh… Hey…” Beau looked at the newcomers, “Umm..?”
"Oh! This is my nephew, Beau. Beau, this is Angelique, Bell, and Rowen. They just moved in." She smiled
“Oh!” Bell gasped, “How cute~!”
Beau deadpanned with a small blush, “I’m 16, damnit.”
Rowen chuckled, “Sorry, did you need something from Ania?”
“Huh, oh yeah, mom wanted to know if you wanted to eat dinner with us?” he asked with a smile as he leaned on the counter, “She wanted to ask before Cassie could.”
Ania laughed softly, knowing her two friends did this all the time. "Of course."
"You have a sister!? Is she as gorgeous as you~?" Angelique asked with a charming smile.
"Oh yes, very pretty." She nodded, she was never one to 'set up' Nevier with anyone, knowing they'd be terrified of her in a second, but she'd also rather Nevier be flirted with than herself. She always felt uncomfortable when it happened.
Beau chuckled, “Are you trying to get someone killed, Aunt?” he whispered nervously.
"No. I just really want her out of my bakery." She whispers back, nervously.
“Let’s go check out the apartment!” Bell slouched to talk to Rowen and Angelique with a smile.
“Don’t- just don’t-” Rowen glared at Bell, “I am not that short…”
The three women leave within a few seconds and Ania sighs a breath of relief.
Beau frowned as they left, feeling as if something wasn’t right. Newcomers were rare to have in the town, but for them to permanently move here was damn near non existent, but he chose not to dwell, “See you at 6?” he smiled at Ania.
"Of course!" She kisses his temple. "Wouldn't miss it for the world!"
-:< Night Time >:-
Nevier, Ania, and Beau all sat around a small table, the three sharing jokes and talking about their day. Nothing was out of the ordinary, but yet Beau could not shake an odd feeling.
“Hey mom,” Beau chuckled a bit after Ania told them about how Mrs. Anderson wouldn't accept a gluten free cake because it wasn't gluten free enough, “Had you met the new people?”
“No, anything notable?” Nevier took a sip of her beer as she leaned on the table.
"You have no idea." Ania laughs softly. "They are nice people, but very loud. Well, the two tallest ones were. Very eccentric, and dramatic. It will be nice to have such outgoing people in our town for once."
“I don't know…” Beau frowned as he played with a few peas left on his plate.
“Don’t be so worried, kid-” Nevier muttered as she stood and grabbed the plates, only for her phone to start ringing, “Shit…” she whispered as she looked at her full hands, “You mind-”
"Not at all!" Ania smiles softly, picking up the woman’s phone. "Hello!" She answered with her usual kind voice.
“Ania-” Altair’s voice sounded confused and worried, “Doesn't matter- have you seen the news?”
"No, why? Did something happen?" What could have happened in their town? Nothing ever happens. It's been the same as it's been for decades.
“J-Just turn the tv on…” Altair was uncharacteristically nervous and worried, “I can’t say it’s anything good…”
Ania, though sceptical, did as her friend said, turning on the small television Nevier had in her kitchen.
“What-?” Nevier looked confused as she dried her hands from cleaning the dishes.
The tv flickered on, the news woman’s forced smile seemed far more forced, “Good evening people of -Town Name-, I am afraid to inform you all of the unfortunate death of Mayor Juneberry. Murdered in her own bed.”
Beau’s eyes widened as his face paled, Nevier’s panicked curse falling on his deaf ears.
“Her cause of death is still unknown,” the newswoman shuffled her papers, “But from reports- it couldn't have been anything natural.”
Ania blinked in shock. "Why… oh my… that poor woman." She held her hand over her mouth. "Everyone loved the mayor, who could have done this?"
Nevier quickly shut the tv off, “Doesn’t matter. Whoever it is, the police will find them.” she glared, “Time to head to bed, bud.” she muttered as she gently pushed Beau towards his room.
Ania sighed. "Good night, darling," she smiled softly to the boy. "Get some sleep, I'm sure this will all be sorted out in the morning."

Right back at you for all the ocs! I especially love the name apocothea (I think I spelled it right?) Its super cool!!
Thank you so much!! :) Sorry this took awhile to answer, I’ve been busy with work and other stuff. But here they are! I was actually in the process of redesigning my OCs when I saw the post (thanks to Sims inspiration and wanting to update how I draw them), so it was perfect timing! I don’t have the drawings done yet but maybe soon…
Full Name: Pandora
Gender & Sexuality: Female, Pansexual (yes, punny, but also serious)
Pronouns: She/Her
Ethnicity/Species: my Balanced Ego
Birthplace & Birthdate: my mind, August 10
Guilty Pleasures: She loves taking bubble baths. Bring on the bath bombs and fragrant soaps, and the (pink) rubber ducky is a must! She also loves stuffed animals (especially pandas). And it surprises a lot of people, but she’s also an avid fan of anime/manga and video games.
Phobias: Accidentally losing one of her earrings, which keep her balanced. She’s particularly afraid of what she might do if this happens, because she loses control of herself and becomes truly evil. A past experience in regards to this also makes her uncomfortable around sheep. (Even toys or drawings of sheep. She will get a flashback and start sobbing, apologizing to the ‘poor sheepies’ until they’re out of sight.)
What They Would Be Famous For: Probably owning the only fashion-themed amusement park in the Ego World, or her fashion designs.
What They Would Get Arrested For: Being a public nuisance, like getting too hyper and making too much noise. Because honestly, if someone told her to shut up she would only get louder to spite them. She’s not afraid to get in a fight though, so maybe that too… Maybe for throwing a heel at someone. lol
OC You Ship Them With: Reim. He’s much calmer than her, but loves her crazy antics.
OC Most Likely To Murder Them: It. He gets along with Pan better than Aurora, but he can only take so much of her 'hyper hyper happy happy joy joy’ personality.
Favorite Movie/Book Genre: romance and rom-coms. The blossoming love between two people! The heartbreaking 'is this it?’ fights! The oblivious misunderstandings! Burnt dinners! The hand holding, the hugs, the kisses…! (You get it.)
Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: When everything turns out to be a dream. Her Host loves this cliche. She hates it because 'what was the point of it all if it never really happened?!’
Talents and/or Powers: She’s a talented fashion designer. She likes to draw, like her Host, but when she became interested in clothes when she was younger she was frustrated that she couldn’t wear the clothes she drew. So she learned how to sew and began making her own clothes. She’s also very imaginative and ambitious.
Why Someone Might Love Them: She’s fun to be around, always a bouncing ball of energy! She likes pretty things, and considers everyone around her to be pretty in their own way. She’s the person who will convince you to try that new thing, or who will say 'Let’s go somewhere, my treat!’ when she sees you need cheering up. She’s also ready to kick ass if anyone dares hurt her friends or loved ones.
Why Someone Might Hate Them: She’s so hyper… Some people might find her hyperness endearing, but some people find it exhausting. She’s also had people judge her before based on her girly-ness, interest in fashion, and how she looks like a typical anime girl, but she doesn’t let it bother her.
How They Change: She hasn’t changed all that much since I first created her back in middle school. She’s grown a lot more mature emotionally, I think, and she’s more careful about other people’s feelings.
Why You Love Them: She was the last of my Egos to be created, and she’s probably the best representation of who I wish I was. She’s daring, outspoken, bubbly, made a career for herself doing something she loves… I love her because even though that’s not me and probably never will be me, I still like to think that she’s cheering me on. “Don’t be afraid! You can do it!” lol
Full Name: It
Gender & Sexuality: Male, not sure (he’s never given it much thought)
Pronouns: He/Him
Ethnicity/Species: my Alter Ego
Birthplace & Birthdate: my mind, October 31
Guilty Pleasures: He has a collection of weird t-shirts that he’s both bought and designed himself. He also has a collection of light sabers that he may or may not have bought off the Ego World’s black market that trades in Other World (Worlds of Licensed Series) objects…
Phobias: Becoming a soft goody two-shoes like Aurora… Gag.
What They Would Be Famous For: Nothing. He’s too lazy to really stand out much. And he’s fine with that.
What They Would Get Arrested For: Disrupting the peace. He’s got a temper, and when it flares he’s liable to kick/hit any object unlucky enough to be in his way. Be it a trash can, car, mailbox… He’s broken his toes for kicking a brick wall before. He’s also got problems with authority figures since he doesn’t like being told what to do, so if the police show up it would just escalate the situation. There was also the time he bombed Aurora’s house, but that was years ago, when he was jealous he wasn’t my only Ego anymore. He was a lot more evil back then, and Aurora (being the kind soul she is and understanding how he felt) didn’t press charges.
OC You Ship Them With: Apocothea. She keeps him in check and doesn’t put up with his crap, yet somehow sees the… best… in him…?
OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Pandora. She gets fed up with his gloomy outlook on life and gets cranky when he gives her attitude. They get into lots of arguments over nothing, especially with their quick tempers.
Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Horror/Suspense. He likes movies with lots of jumpscares, gore, and freaky nightmarish scenarios. They get his blood pumping and while he’s not that evil enough to enjoy people getting hurt, he likes to think about what he would do if he was trapped in that house trying to escape the serial killer. And of course, though he’s not a clown or even named after said clown, he likes Stephen King novels.
Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: It was love at first sight. He doesn’t believe in it, and if he sees that cliche he skips a few minutes past it or turns a few pages ahead, hopefully to a less mushy scene.
Talents and/or Powers: He’s great at video games. He actually earns money by playing video games for people who get stuck on them. They send him the game, he plays past the part they got stuck on to the next save, he sends it back. He’s been debating lately if he should start livestreaming, but his laziness in acquiring the equipment and setting up a room for it is currently holding him back.
Why Someone Might Love Them: He’s… It. lol He’s an Alter Ego who by all means should be trying to take over the world and plotting evil deeds, but either due to his laziness or from the influence of those closest to him, he just isn’t that into it. He’s just a cranky man that loves to kick over trash cans in my Sims game. lol
Why Someone Might Hate Them: He rubs a lot of people the wrong way, and with good reason. He’s not very social not because he’s shy but because he hates people in general. He comes off as rude when you first meet him, and he likes to glare for no reason. (He probably thinks it makes him look tough.) Honestly it’s a wonder people like him.
How They Change: He’s changed quite a bit since I first created him in middle school! He’s probably the most changed of all my OCs. At first he started out as a wolf demon, but after a few weeks he became my Alter Ego in a human form and stayed that way. He still has fangs, they’re just smaller. They serve no purpose, he just looks good with them! He’s also not as evil as he used to be, but like I said, I like to think that Pan and Aurora are a good influence on him.
Why You Love Them: He was my very first Ego! Way back in 6th grade I used to write and draw my own stories and share them with friends, and he got a pretty good response from them and they wanted to hear more about him. I wrote conversations between me (the Host) and him during free time in class and my friends loved reading them, and it kind of took off from there. Aurora was created next, then Pandora, and even though they were fictional characters I’d made up they started to feel like a second family to me. And they still do! lol
Full Name: Aurora
Gender & Sexuality: Female, Straight
Pronouns: She/Her
Ethnicity/Species: my Good Ego
Birthplace & Birthdate: my mind, February 23
Guilty Pleasures: She likes knitting and has so much yarn she doesn’t know what to do with it. She spoils her cat Cupcake with so many toys she doesn’t know what to do with them all. She has so many recipe books she doesn’t know what to do with them all. She’s actually a very neat person though, so another guilty pleasure would probably be cleaning. lol
Phobias: Heights, needles, and spiders (like her Host). I feel bad she shares my phobias. (Sorry, Aurora!) She’s also afraid of sharks, ever since she watched Jaws years ago and had nightmares for a week about them. She knows it's not good to be afraid of sharks and they get a bad rep, so she's trying to overcome that fear.
What They Would Be Famous For: Her cookies! She owns a bakery and while her cakes, brownies, and cupcakes are delicious, it’s her cookies that rake in the most dough. (Ha.) Every customer has their favorite, but hers is her creamy peanut butter cookies. They’re so soft and chewy, and she sprinkles peanut bits in so there’s a little crunch too!
What They Would Get Arrested For: The day Aurora gets arrested for anything is the day the world ends. She’s too pure, too innocent, to do anything resulting in arrest. She apologizes to insects when she has to capture them before setting them free! She gives away too many free samples at her bakery! She cries when she accidentally forgets to water a plant and it dies! If she ever gets arrested for anything, Pan and It may legit seek revenge to restore her honor…
OC You Ship Them With: Marcus. He’s sweet, she’s sweet! Their relationship might be normal and therefore a little boring to some people, but they love each other and are happy just to be together. They’re like an old married couple. lol
OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Not a single soul. Not even It. (Anymore.) She’s too kind for this world. An angel!
Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Generally anything except horror and war movies. She gets too nervous and scared watching horror, and gets too emotional watching battles with people fighting and dying. She tends to like comedies the most though, since they’re usually upbeat and make her laugh. She’s also a sucker for heartwarming stories. Those Chicken Soup for the Soul books? She’s probably got the whole collection, regardless of the intended audience.
Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: 'I had to do it. I had to kill them.’ She refuses to believe that killing is the only option no matter how dire a situation might be and will visibly get upset when she comes across this cliche. When she gets upset her face reddens and her lip wobbles, and if Marcus or Pan is with her she might rant to them about all the other options the protagonist had.
Talents and/or Powers: She is excellent at cooking, but baking is her specialty! If she’s mastered a recipe, she’ll master it again until it’s even better. And if she finds a new recipe, she will pull an all-nighter until she’s perfected it.
Why Someone Might Love Them: She’s such a sweetheart, bless her. She’s what the world needs more of: just honestly pure, good people. She’s the person who if she came across someone in need, she would give them everything she had. If you’re feeling down, she’ll do all she can to make you happy again. She’s definitely the mom friend.
Why Someone Might Hate Them: Some might consider her too good. Like It. He gets annoyed when she does things out of the kindness of her heart for no reason. He just doesn’t understand how someone can be that selfless. He thinks of her as a crybaby and she worries a lot, so that irritates him too. And others might be suspicious of her at first, wondering what she’s hiding or what she wants. But once people get to know her, they adore her and look to her for advice if they need help. Or just want free food. lol
How They Change: She’s probably the one who has changed the least. She’s always been the angel on my shoulder, the do-gooder. Someone has to keep the peace with the other two Egos around, after all.
Why You Love Them: Aurora is the one who resembles me the most, both in terms of looks and personality. There are some differences, though. She’s not shy, just quiet and reserved. She’s more comfortable with confrontations than I am, especially if it’s a matter of right vs wrong. I don’t have a problem with horror and war stuff. I wish I knew how to cook/bake. And I don’t think I could ever be as selfless as her. Basically, she’s a goody goody two-shoes, like It says. But it’s not a bad thing!
Full Name: Reim
Gender & Sexuality: Male, Bisexual
Pronouns: He/Him
Ethnicity/Species: Ego Entity
Birthplace & Birthdate: Ego World (specifically the city Venia), April 14
Guilty Pleasures: talking to his plants, liking movies that everyone else hates, singing in the shower, and he also enjoys the occasional bubble bath (thanks to Pan convincing him he was missing out on life if he didn’t take one now and then) (she was right)
Phobias: Moths. When he was little a big one got caught in his hair and he accidentally smashed it trying to get it out. It was messy and gross.
What They Would Be Famous For: Hopefully for his paintings! He does all kinds of paintings, and has even had a few displayed in art shows. He likes doing landscape art the best, because he loves plants and nature.
What They Would Get Arrested For: Not that he’s looking to get arrested, but he’s secretly always wanted to experiment with graffiti…
OC You Ship Them With: Pandora. Just when he thinks he knows her, she surprises him and he loves it! She makes him see how exciting and fun life is, and she’s always encouraging him with his latest art project and boasting about his paintings to her friends.
OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Probably It. It and Reim don’t see eye to eye a lot… Reim’s pretty optimistic, and that clashes with It’s pessimism. They don’t exactly hate each other, but they get on each other’s nerves. “You threw off my groove!” “Fuck your groove!” Yatta yatta…
Favorite Movie/Book Genre: He loves animated movies. As an artist, he really appreciates them and considers them art, so he’s constantly rewinding scenes because he was focusing on the style or shading instead of what was going on. As for books, he likes fantasy. He likes escaping to another world, and fantasy can be anything and everything, just like a painting.
Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Not really a typical cliche but… He really hates noir style stuff. Noir movies annoy him to no end because there’s no color and he wishes he could restore the color so bad. He needs color! And when people talk noir style, with the witty and flirtatious old-fashioned banter. It’s just so cheesy to him… This extends to books as well. He prefers deep conversations between characters rather than quick one-liners.
Talents and/or Powers: He’s an artist, so he’s well-rounded in a variety of mediums. Painting, drawing, sculptures, photography… He enjoys painting the most though!
Why Someone Might Love Them: He’s a down-to-earth guy that has his goals set and has a plan to achieve them. He knows what he wants in life and he also knows not to get his hopes up. He does hope his dreams come true, but if not he’s got plenty of back up plans. He’s just a nice guy in general, always ready to lift the mood with a joke or a grin.
Why Someone Might Hate Them: For people like It, optimistic people can be annoying. No matter the situation, Reim looks on the bright side of things and his pleasant attitude and charming smile can make It angry. Because life sucks, and It knows it, but apparently Reim doesn’t. Reim’s not optimistic all the time, however, and he does have days where he’s a little moody or depressed, but he tends to keep to himself those days (so of course It doesn’t know that).
How They Change: Reim started out as a painting I did my senior year, so I thought it fitting to give him the painter career in my Sims game. Until that point I didn’t know much about him but watching him interact with my other characters has helped me flesh out what kind of person he is. He looked more emo and brooding in the painting, but in Sims he’s a cheerful guy who enjoys life, so I like that change in him.
Why You Love Them: He’s the character I didn’t know was going to be created. But I’m glad I did that painting of him years ago! Before I made him in Sims, I wanted to do more with his character and knew I wanted him with Pandora, but that was about it. Originally Pan was with someone else from an Other World, and for reasons it didn’t work out, but I think she and Reim are a perfect match. They balance each other out.
Full Name: Apocothea
Gender & Sexuality: Female, Demisexual
Pronouns: She/Her
Ethnicity/Species: Ego Entity
Birthplace & Birthdate: Ego World (specifically outside the town Abraxxus), November 2
Guilty Pleasures: Obsessed with Itachi from Naruto, so she has a collection of Itachi merchandise that shouldn’t even exist (her father knows people). She loves anime/manga and video games, and rock/heavy metal music. She also enjoys fan fiction (smut included, but she is picky about it).
Phobias: This woman has no fear. You should be the one afraid.
What They Would Be Famous For: Not exactly famous, but her old classmates still remember the day the teacher was late and Apocothea calmly walked up to the front of the class and announced the teacher had been in a horrible accident and she was in charge now. She spoke with such authority that no one questioned her, and she proceeded to pass out copies of the 'worst fan fiction she had ever read’ for them to read and critique. It turned out that the teacher had been in a car accident (from speeding), and when the principal delivered the news everyone turned to her in fear. Of course she hadn’t really known… She just saw an opportunity and took it. She needed beta readers for her first fic, after all.
What They Would Get Arrested For: She’s too clever to get herself arrested. Anyone who leaves fingerprints and DNA samples is a Class-A moron. But if she did get arrested, somehow, it would probably be for making the police officer feel like an idiot. Or she would just ignore them and do the opposite of what they ordered her to do out of pure spite. Challenging authority and whatnot.
OC You Ship Them With: It. She wins all the arguments, basically, but they’re stupid arguments to begin with. They bicker back and forth, but it’s from love(?). I don’t know… Their relationship is kind of hard to explain. lol There’s not a lot of typical romance between them, but they do have their moments that say 'Yeah, they’re a couple alright!’
OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Nobody’s brave enough to even try murdering her. She’d murder them first.
Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Like It, she enjoys horror. Except where he’s the guy to think 'what would I do if I was trapped in a house with a serial killer?’, she’s the girl who thinks, 'If I was the serial killer, I’d go after them this way… That guy’s an asshole, anyway.’ She also likes murder mystery novels, but she’s always disappointed when she figures out who the killer is halfway through the book.
Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: 'The chosen one will save us!’ She doesn’t buy into the whole 'only this person can do it’ trope. Really? Only that person? But he’s an idiot. What if he dies? Then what? Guess the world ends.
Talents and/or Powers: I guess you could say her skill at Guitar Hero is a talent. She’s undefeated with all the Guitar Hero games (every mode, even expert). Other than that, she’s very talented at pretty much anything and everything, but especially at making people feel uncomfortable and fragile in her presence.
Why Someone Might Love Them: If you can get past her intimidating exterior, she’s a pretty cool gal. She’s kind of like Hana-chan from Fruits Basket… The things she says can come off as strange and threatening, but if you become her friend she would quite literally kill for you. She also has a younger sister named Analyse, and you can definitely tell they’re sisters from the way they look and talk.
Why Someone Might Hate Them: She’s very blunt, and if she doesn’t like you she won’t hold back on insults. Lots of people get offended when she does this, but that’s kind of the point. She can also be crafty in the way she talks to people, so sometimes they’re really not sure if she’s insulting them or complimenting them.
How They Change: She’s changed just a little since I created her. Her relationship with It before was very one-sided, and she liked toying with him. She still likes to, actually, but it’s more affectionate now. She’s always been confident and in charge, but I think being with It has taught her that a relationship requires more teamwork and less blackmail.
Why You Love Them: Again, she’s one of those characters that displays traits I wish I had. She’s not afraid to be assertive, she loves herself for who she is, and doesn’t give a damn what other people think of her. And she gives off this vibe, like you really don’t want to trust that smile she’s wearing. Her calm but menacing demeanor really compliments It’s personality too, I think. He’s fire, she’s ice!
Full Name: Marcus
Gender & Sexuality: Male, Straight
Pronouns: He/Him
Ethnicity/Species: Ego Entity
Birthplace & Birthdate: Ego World (specifically a suburban area named Hannen), March 27
Guilty Pleasures: watching YouTube/EgoTube videos, memes, taking internet quizzes… And surprising Aurora on a regular basis with flowers and chocolate like the romantic sap he is!
Phobias: Puking and cuts on the skin. When he’s sick he gets very agitated and nervous and will refuse to eat solid food in case he can’t keep it down. (Soup and water only, basically.) With cuts, it’s not the blood he fears but the sensation of skin splitting. It stems from when he was a teenager and got a deep cut on his knee. Little nicks while shaving are no biggie, but papercuts make him lightheaded and make his skin crawl.
What They Would Be Famous For: He’s a very relaxed guy who honestly doesn’t stand out much, but his friends know him as the tech guy. Computer or game console acting up? Marcus knows how to fix it. TV or phone bugging out? Call Marcus, he’s your guy.
What They Would Get Arrested For: Like Aurora, he would never get arrested for anything. He’s too nice to do anything like property damage or fighting, and he’s never gotten a ticket for anything in his life.
OC You Ship Them With: Aurora. They’re so precious together, too good, too sweet! They dote on each other and probably unintentionally make other couples jealous. lol
OC Most Likely To Murder Them: It. Another goody goody two-shoes frustrates him even more than one. The only thing It appreciates about Marcus is that he’s not above using swear words (unlike Aurora). And maybe the fact that he’s willing to fix It’s laptop and game systems for free.
Favorite Movie/Book Genre: He really likes documentaries and informational books. He’s always interested in learning something new, and he’d much rather watch an hour-long documentary on EBS than watch the newest hit movie. He was the kid in school who always read the assigned Literature, Real World History & Ego World History, and Science books for fun.
Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: He doesn’t like when a side character you grew attached to suddenly dies. They make you care about them, only to kill them off! What the hell?
Talents and/or Powers: Talented with fixing all things tech. He does claim it’s his superpower! lol
Why Someone Might Love Them: When you find a genuinely nice guy who cares a lot about you, you struck gold! Aurora loves his soft, sensitive side when he’s alone with her and also loves his corny jokes. People in general like how laid back he is, as he’s very patient and knows everybody makes mistakes. He’s the guy who will walk an old lady across the street if she needs help, the guy who literally climbed a tree to get a cat out of it (sneaky little Cupcake!). Nice guys do exist, and he’s one of the best!
Why Someone Might Hate Them: Again… There’s people like It. They get annoyed with the whole 'nice guy act’, especially once they learn it’s not an act at all but just how he is. They might get jealous when they see how much other people like him, but more often than not they come around, especially after he helps them with something and expects nothing in return.
How They Change: His character hasn’t changed much, either. He’s thoughtful, kind, cheerful… He’s popular with everyone he hangs out with, because he gets along with pretty much everyone. He’s polite, open to new things and opinions, and though he admits he might be a little boring to be around he also doesn’t mind. Such a great guy!
Why You Love Them: He and Aurora are a pair of cinnamon rolls, too sweet, too pure for this world! Even though I created him long before I met Alex, he reminds me of him. lol Marcus is the perfect example for how you should treat your loved ones, and anyone you meet, really. He’s like the Mr. Rogers of the gang, I guess you could say. He just wants everybody to respect each other and be kind to themselves and others.
Sorry if this got super long, I just really love these characters. lol Also! When I was reading your OC post I found it really cool that some of our characters have birthdays either on the same day or really close, that made me smile! :D
Thanks so much for the ask again!!

It's Tweeks fanon birthday today yaaaay!!!!! So what do you see him doing on his birthday before and after being apart of Craig's gang (and heck the blonde squad as well lololol)? What gifts do you see him receiving from them? Do you think he finally gets break from working at the shop?
He’s a November baby and you can pry that out of my cold dead hands
Tweek will probably never get an actual break from working at the shop unless something drastic happens to close it down. Even when he’s sick, Dick probably just banishes him to the backroom instead of actually letting the kid rest.
Before dating Craig and joining Craig and Those Guys as well as developing his own friend group because like hell I’ll give the Blonde Squad up, Tweek’s birthdays were…pretty much just another day. He’d be working at the shop, either right after school or all day if his birthday fell on the weekend, and maybe his mother would treat him to a special birthday cupcake or something. I kind of have this idea that Tweek learned how to make cupcakes from her, and part of me likes the idea of that being something of a tradition for them.
But since the Tweaks are all about work and the shop, Tweek doesn’t ever really get the chance to celebrate his birthday like a normal kid. Which his friends have all decided has to change. I think the Blonde Squad would be the most likely to break Tweek out of the coffeehouse for his birthday, rather than Craig and Those Guys. Kenny and Bebe already have plenty of experience busting Butters out of that glorified jailhouse he calls home, so breaking Tweek out of a place with far less security? Piece of cake. (Plus I don’t get the sense that Craig and Those Guys would be the jailbreak type; I always kind of saw that as more of a Stan’s Gang thing.)
Tweek’s birthday would be pretty much the only time Craig and Those Guys spent extended time with the Blonde Squad, since normally their groups don’t really mesh. Once someone amongst them finally gets their hands on their driver’s license (my money’s on either Bebe or Token), they would definitely kidnap Tweek and play hookey all day if they were supposed to be in school. Probably drive off to Denver or Colorado Springs or some other nearby city in order to spend the day doing pretty much whatever they wanted. Catching a movie Tweek’s been interested in, pulling a dine-n-ditch (except for Token secretly paying the bill himself when the others aren’t looking) for lunch, and so on.
In terms of presents, one of the best things about Tweek is that he’s got a pretty wide and varied set of interests, so chances are you can stumble across something that would interest him with relative ease. This also means he has at least one interest in common with everyone in the two groups.
Bebe would probably get him something like a small collection of different face masks or facial cleansers, or a DVD set of something like Ancient Aliens, A Haunting, or Ghost Adventures. As she gets more into fashion design and sewing, she’d probably make him new articles of clothing for his birthday, too.
Butters would almost definitely get this boy something cute and fluffy. A stuffed animal would probably be the thing, especially once Tweek discovers that he can actually get a decent night’s sleep if he fashions a nest for himself out of pillows, blankets, and stuffed animals. Butters has provided the majority of them over the years, ranging from parrots to sharks to standard teddy bears.
Kenny typically spends most of his money on Karen and Butters once they start dating, so he’s probably not going to be giving Tweek anything fancy or pricey. Anything he gives Tweek is probably gonna be handmade; one year, he raids the donated school supplies box in order to make a journal for Tweek. Tweek uses it until he can’t fit anymore words into its pages.
Token will usually get him a few books on different things. Normally he’ll get titles that Tweek’s mentioned an interest in, but sometimes he’ll take a chance and get something he hasn’t mentioned at all. Token is probably the second largest sponsor of the Tweek Library as a result, since his chances on what Tweek will like are pretty spot-on.
Clyde’s go-to’s are either DVD sets of cooking shows or different comedian acts. Sometimes he’ll actually buy them, but most of the time he’ll pirate them off the internet and make bootleg DVDs, which is great if he and Tweek have gotten into something with a primarily online presence. He’ll also throw in a batch of his mom’s lemon bars since Tweek loves them. (He’s been begging for the recipe, but Clyde’s pretty protective of it.)
You might think Jimmy would be the one getting Tweek comedy-related things, but he usually pays for a year’s subscription to one of Tweek’s favorite publications. Sure, he doesn’t really think the journalism in the Paranormal Inquirer is that great, but for a publication that specializes in metascience, it’s surprisingly solid, and Tweek likes it, so that’s really all that matters.
Craig varies in the sorts of gifts he’ll get Tweek. The main constant is that he’ll get Tweek flowers, usually a small bouquet rather than something large and flashy. And monetarily, Craig doesn’t really go much beyond that. After spending the day with their friends, Craig and Tweek eventually break away from the group and go off to do something together. Examples include stargazing in the park, Craig setting up a secret dinner for the two of them, slow dancing together, all sorts of cute couple-y things that technically have no monetary value but mean a lot to Tweek regardless. Usually Craig will bring Tweek home with him and they’ll spend the night together, just cuddled up in Craig’s room watching something.
Birthdays after Tweek starts dating Craig and developing actual friendships are pretty good, for the most part. It’s a rare thing where Tweek’s birthday will end without him ridiculously happy and comfortable.

How to Make It:
To make Yesss, cut out a large semi-circle from light blue paper. It should be roughly 7-8 inches wide and 4-5 inches high. Next, cut out her glasses lens from the see-thru plastic folder material.

To make Knowsmore, cut out a large semi-circle of purple paper. It can be the same width as Yesss’, but a couple inches higher to leave room for his glasses. Use a drinking glass or mug to trace out two large circles. Cut out the inside to create his frames. Use the frames to cut out semi-circles from the purple piece. Cut out two small eyebrows, and the pieces of his hat from black paper. Cut out his tassel from gold sparkly paper. Cut two short pieces of floral wire and attach his eyebrows just above his head. Place one slightly higher than the other. Assemble the rest of the pieces with glue stick.

To make Venellope, sketch out her hair onto black paper and cut it out. Cut out streaks of black sparkly paper for her bangs and ponytail. Cut out her licorice bow, and use a hole punch to make “sprinkles” for her hair. Cut out a small candy heart and two green peppermints. Use a brown marker to add detail to the peppermints. Assemble all the pieces with glue stick.

WiFi Décor
©DISNEY. PHOTO BY KATIE MARBLE FOR DISNEY FAMILY
Bring the Internet right into your own living room with these colorful, futuristic streamers and WiFi-inspired wall décor. Keep scrolling to learn how to make it!
What You’ll Need:
Iridescent door fringe
Green poster board
Green party streamers
Scissors
Hot glue
See-thru plastic folders (blue and pink)
Pink craft foam
White thread or fishing line
Tape
How to Make It:
Sketch a WiFi symbol onto the back of the green poster board. You will need one circle, and three curved lines, each gradually getting longer. Cut the green crepe paper streamer into long, but manageable lengths. Fold the streamer over about 1/3 of the way. This creates two layers of fringe instead of one per piece. Start cutting the fringe. Make sure to cut both layers. Glue rows of fringe onto the poster board pieces. Let dry.

Cut out heart shapes from the pink see-thru folders, as well as the pink craft foam.
Cut out rectangles in various sizes from the blue see-thru folders.
Hang the iridescent fringe on your wall.
Use small rolls of tape or double-sided tape to attach the WiFi symbol onto the wall.
Add varying lengths of thread or fishing line to the backs of the hearts and rectangles with tape. Hang them from the ceiling, playing with placement to add dimension.

Shark Week Cake!
Shark Week began on July 22nd and runs through July 30th, which means we're right smack in the middle of all the festivities! If you follow me on Instagram, you know I've been busy making loads of shark week-themed cupcakes for the folks at Discovery headquarters. Along with all those cupcakes, I delivered this guy, too. He made a big splash (hehe) even though he's more cute than scary.
I'm including a few process shots of the cake in this blog post, but to view the entire process - and video tutorial - you'll need to hop over to FoodNetwork.com. That's where the how-to gallery and recipe live. There's already been some really cute versions of this cake popping up on Instagram (such as here and here).
A few people at the Discovery party thought the teeth were fondant, but they're white candy wafers cut into pointed teeth with kitchen-dedicated scissors. This cake is ALL buttercream and candy!
The big reveal is the pinata-style cache of candy spilling from the shark's middle when you cut the cake. The aquarium fish candies I used held up extremely well inside the moist cake. They can be found for purchase here.
If you're not into making an entire cake for shark week, then check out my gallery of Shark Week-themed bites on HGTV.com!
Shark Warning Milkshakes on HGTV.com!
Happy Shark Week!
