Oooh, adding on to @wheezystan 's (excellent!) question- would your F/O's be dressing up for Halloween? ^^

Ohhhh I love this!

It's hard to say, honestly. They all could go as themselves, honestly! Except maybe Jerry since he's the most normal looking out of them all, unless he gets in a frenzy. I can definitely see Tiffany getting dressed up, and doing Halloween things with the twins ^^ though before they were involved she'd probably go out to a bar, or with Chucky. And after the twins moved out, Tiffany maybe threw halloween parties as Jennifer Tilly? But she's still at home. And maybe sometimes she'd prefer a quiet night at home. And Audrey... Well, they can't really go anywhere as a giant plant. Neither can Scroop, not that he wants to go anywhere XD so Tiffany, Scroop, and Audrey can be the 'at home celebrators' of my F/O's. (Just like how I like to celebrate XD)

Russ and Jerry are definitely the ones that want to go out to clubs. They both can better blend in with the spooky atmosphere! I can see Russ absolutely taking over the stage just like the Sanderson Sisters did in Hocus Pocus, while Jerry is scoping for his/their new victim. Maybe they can convince Harper to come along and really make it a party? (The only party I want to be in the middle of. Ok bye-)

The Hessian is not with either group though. He's stalking the whole city, enjoying the night air with his horse ^^ and if he's missing his head, he'd still blend in with the crowd! Though hopefully nobody tries to bother him while he's out. (ohhhhh another great way to celebrate Halloween... Even if I'm kinda scared of horses 😅 hopefully he won't mind me being skittish?)

I'm sorry, I know this was an ask about whether or not they'd wear costumes 😅 I can see Tiffany, Russ, and maaaaybe Jerry and Audrey dressing up? (Jerry dresses up in charming costumes, though). The others? They'd probably be mistaken for costumes themselves XD though they probably wouldn't dress up.

Thank you for this ask! How do your F/O's celebrate Halloween? Do they dress up? (Well, i guess except Otis. We all know what he does- we don't need to be traumatized again 😅)

[little-demy]

shhhh they're sleeping

Anyway, tidbit sleeping hc with the siblings because I just had a thought and I'd lpve to just see them sleeping together even when they have their own room, either by taking turns using each one of their room or just sprawled all together in the living room with a clumsily made pillow fort (Ghost learnt about it and decide they must get them)

Additional hc of mine is that because Hollow is the most comfortable around Hornet and Ghost, Hornet will relent for Hollow and Ghost, and Ghost who just loves doing anything with Hollow and Hornet they all can finally get a proper rest/sleep when together

Ghost probably know, that's why they just will just come to them with blankets, pillows, and plushies and decide they're gonna sleep together anytime the three of them were in the same place

Also I stole this ask just so I can post this fuggin weirdo I made smhh (I raise from the dead just to post an oc again LMAOAOAOAO)

Hopefully this will be my last one in a long while I can live with 7 fuggin wh characters HHFHFUDJSNKSSJ- well- technically 8 if you include Betsy-

But to keep it (somewhat) short and sweet- my loser- a ye ol Milkman- Zachary Milksop (chronically lactose intolerant) and Betsy (a lil mascot moo sentient puppet)

Another character made almost spur in the moment again (like Mari) though thankfully not another bUG, but just some average human smhh. He’s a really simple guy, a loser, is as interesting as normal milk— he’s just the ye ol milkman who delivers you that gud shid smhh— enjoyer of the finer things in life (lunchables). A lil flirty and charming (in possibly the cringiest way possible) however he doesn’t really seem to pick up anyone besides the local cows that constantly harass him (and eats his pants). He enjoys watching them though, from v e r y m u c h afar——

hes just kinda, “that guy”

Also Betsy- a very sweet woman! She always greets everyone and has the friendliest extroverted personality ever! Always the type to bring (albeit tiny) gifts for her favorite neighbors and always leads when talking to anyone. Not like she would allow Zach to say anything anyway, she hates his polyester guts (and only him smhh)

I feel like this is the kind of bed that Hornet had.

I was thinking about Buddy's character arc earlier!

It's really, really rare that you see a redemption arc like Buddy's work so well in a romance, and that's because there's often some level of excusing abusive/harmful behavior on past trauma/characters/factors. I love Buddy so much, but early Buddy put in the WORK to make Chase's life hell.

Romance novels/webtoons are especially guilty of this--how often has the protag forgiven the love interest within two chapters? how often has the love interest even apologized for what they did, or illustrated remorse by actually trying to change?

And I think what really sets Buddy's arc apart from a lot of other redemption arcs is the decision to not give us any details about his past. We can somewhat discern Buddy isn't doing great, something Chase has picked up, but we also know Chase isn't doing great, something Buddy has not realized.

Chase said it best--regardless of whether it's morally right or not, if Buddy treats him shitty, Chase will call him out on it. Chase has the same amount of information as we do, and he makes it clear that it's not enough to justify the way Buddy treated him.

And Buddy CONFIRMS that, much later, by apologizing. Most importantly, we know Buddy's sincerity in the way he's clearly harboring guilt--his hesitation over Chase's injured hand, his scorn for his tendency to worsen a situation, and his reaction to Vampire-Guy's heart-filled speech.

What all this means is that we know Buddy feels upset and remorseful for what he did + how he treated Chase, without really knowing the angsty logic behind it. And that's brilliant, because Punko manages to use Buddy's facial expressions and cleverly-placed crumbs of information to help us sympathize with him without even giving us the trauma.

We as readers can't excuse his behavior (bc we literally do not know WHY he was that callous--the guy stuffed bugs in Chase's shoes and set traps to catch the kid), but we can compare who he was with who he's trying to be. And somewhere between the two, we can almost see the authentic, genuine Buddy.

It's such a brilliant way to set up/carry out the redemption of Buddy. If you check out episode one Buddy (please do), and you compare with episode 53 Buddy, it's an absolutely insane difference. You think ep1 Buddy would cry out for help? Would hug Chase? Would even consider apologizing to Chase, let alone saving him from a creep? Excluding the bit where Buddy tricked Deacon into nearly getting mauled by wolves, of course, but that was character-consistent and hilarious and honestly, would he be our boy if he wasn't slightly maschotic

Anyway, I love seeing a good character redemption arc, and I genuinely think Buddy's is one of the better arcs I've read in such a long time.
