#sorry mannequin jumpscare

[nokdunal]

I think I lost something over time I lost my body, it doesn't feel like mine

I don't know where I go

[scarecrowdrugs]

So I'm just out of Blue Creek Apartments in SH2 Remake and.....yeah, against all expectations, Bloober Team did a way better job than I think anyone was expecting (they're still on thin ice for The Medium), and I think these are my thoughts thus far!

Things I Like:

Luke Roberts does an utterly amazing job as James, like holy shit he is already tied with OG James! I can't really say that either him or Guy Cihi are better, either, since they're clearly going in two entirely different directions with how they sound? I think I'm a huge fan of how slightly differently they do the Letter Cutscene right at the beginning. Cihi's James has this sort of flat effect going on most of the time, but very intentionally? I think I get the impression that his James has been running on empty for a long time, very much like part of him definitely knows somethings up but very much trying to not think about it. Remake James sounds less emotionally dead but more like he's actively trying not to break down crying at times? I was originally worried that he had more of a rougher vocal tone, but it really grew on me since it really sounds like he just had a off screen emotional breakdown right before we see him.

Against literally all odds, Remake Angela seems to be treated with the respect she deserves! Like, I think she's so far delivered the absolute best line deliveries in the game and I am utterly in love with how well the voice actress does in the Apartment cutscene. I think you can tell the writers decided to go in a different direction in how Angela seems to react to other people? I think OG Angela always feels like she's in the midst of detaching herself from things, since she has this very dreamlike vocal delivery? Meanwhile Remake Angela feels extremely hypervigilant towards James at all times and it definitely feels like a very intentional choice from the writers. Like seriously, Remake Angela is so good!!!!

I was a little worried that they'd change up the first Pyramid Head sighting, but they still kept him just....showing up and staring at you.

The combat system feels and reacts pretty damn well! It's defintely more actionized compared to the original, but it's not like a Homecoming or RE6 situation.

I like getting to explore more little areas of the town! Very fond of that tiny little apartment near the beginning when you're searching for a way to solve the Jukebox puzzle.

haha mannequin jumpscares funny.

Things I Don't Like:

I don't think she's bad or anything, but Remake Mary just can't quite match up to OG Mary, which I can't really fault the voice actress for, since OG Mary was just......literally the best voice acting in the OG Game (Like holy shit, the final reading of the letter at the end is literally one of the most emotional line deliveries in video games and also made me cry)

So I'm not even entirely putting this on Bloober Team, but I'm not personally a fan of the Glimpses of the Past system. Idk, it feels very "haha reference", but I'm not going to put that entirely on Bloober Team since apparently they tried to push back on Konami wanting to change things up?

I'm sorry but I personally cannot stand Maria's redesign. The red and black combo just feels more like something meant for Ada Wong instead of Maria, like she just does not feel right without having that particular shade of purple she had in the original.

I think OG Pyramid Head is far more interesting, sorry. Remake PH isn't really bad or anything, but I liked how he was just occasionally kind of pathetic in the original. You get glimpses of that in the Remake version of his first actual cutscene, but I think I preferred it when a lot of his jerky movements felt more like involuntarily flailing and the Remake version of that just weirdly felt like he was just doing JJBA poses for no reason??? Idk, I liked how OG PH just kind of moved like he was in some sort of pain 24/7. Also this is just a weird minor complaint but I liked it better when the back of his helmet had weird goopy flesh, but I do understand that they were going for an Executioner Hood look.

[wooahaes]

how much i'd enjoy watching a horror movie w them

context: i love horror movies. im still working my way through a lot of classics lol but literally i just love horror as a safe way to explore dark themes and spooky things. jumpscares will get me occasionally but its all good if they're earned lol i just think they're neat :)

further context: i'm just a little over 5'5" and chubby. vague teddy bear energy if u ignore the chronic resting bitch face.

s.coups: man who i feel would tell me 'if you get scared, you can hold onto my arm :)' and then would jump at every scare and be like an over-exasperated dad holding his heart. solid 6/10 tho if i do get to cuddle with him. i think we would probably make fun of each other for jumping. also i feel like cheol makes comments throughout movies which is fine w me bc same hat. if anything, i get the feeling he would probably hide behind me at some points and then question why i'm so excited when the killing starts happening lol

jeonghan: hmm honestly 7/10 i think jeonghan would have fun with it especially if it's a bad horror movie. man who i think would listen to me info dump abt behind the scenes stuff if i know it tbh. the -3 comes from the fact that i think jeonghan can also get spooked like cheol (im thinkin abt the mbti episodes where he punched a mannequin while startled) and idk if i'm gonna get jumped on if i watch a movie w jeonghan

joshua: 10/10 im like 90% sure joshua actually likes horror movies so i feel like he is a rly safe bet to watch them with. most likely to laugh during literally any movie if i get spooked. i think he'd be an especially calming presence tho esp if something gets super under my skin?? man who feels like he'd be open to just talking abt it and maybe watching something else if its too much. also idk feels like he would also crack jokes throughout.

jun: hmm honestly im unsure about jun. on one hand, i think he'd be fun, but on the other hand, i dunno how much of it is his thing?? i don't think he's a big horror dude but idk. i wanna say a solid 5/10 purely bc it depends on the day and how jun's feeling and what we're watching. i think we'd have fun tho especially if its something campier. i'd rather watch disney movies with him bc at that'd be like 10/10 experience, very fun duet partner.

hoshi: tbh both horror experiences im vaguely familiar with, soonyoung's been chill??? i feel like he'd have fun shit to say tho. 8/10 not the guy who gets scared but the guy who is probably cracking jokes. i don't think i can poke fun at him for jumping tho.

wonwoo: i don't think wonwoo gets scared easily (like shua)? so i feel like he'd be a very calming presence to have for horror movies. i wanna say 10/10 in the vein of having a chill night where we watch scary movies and probably talk about them in depth afterward which is also my jam lol (<- professional yapper)

woozi: hmm.... honestly i think it'd be a quiet experience. altho i oddly get the vibe that he'd be like wonwoo in the fact that i think we'd have a cozy discussion afterward if its something with interesting themes? so like 1/10 experience in terms of 'very quiet moving watching experience' but 9/10 discussion afterward. so... idk, 6/10? it'd be a nice vibe tho to just kinda kick back and watch a movie, maybe having occasional moments where one of us points out something cool

the8: hao gives me the vibes of someone who laughs at jump scares. might get startled, but he wouldn't be as bad as others. solid 8/10 tho, i think it'd be a fun time if he says snarky things.

mingyu: 0/10 we are not watching a scary movie together. i value not getting crushed by him when he inevitably jumps toward me to hide, also i respect that horror isn't his thing. we can watch coraline tho and he can hide his face during the scarier bits if need be lol its ok gyu i will protect u

dk: 0/10 seokmin my angel i am so sorry. i love my eardrums. disney movie time for seokmin. duet partner number 2.

vernon: both times i have seen vernon get scared hes not the kind of person who screams or jumps a ton but would probably be holding onto my arm. man who gets scared and then goes "ah. its just a movie" to himself. altho im p sure vernon's into movies a lot so like... i feel like we'd have rly fun discussion afterward? 10/10 bc fun movie discussion dude. would share snacks w him while having an hour long discussion abt themes.

seungkwan: 0/10 this man will yell i fear. disney movie duet partner number 3. that would be leagues more fun tbh like theres a scale from 'not startled at all' to 'genuinely not having a good time' and gyu, dk, and seungkwan are all toward the end of that scale for me (and id say maybe jun too?). like... if it's not their thing, then it's not their thing and there's nothing wrong w that. i would rather watch something silly n fun w them :3

dino: i fear chan will yell after a certain point but be like haha im not scared. are you scared? im not scared. you can hold onto me if ur scared tho (immediately gasps at something spooky going on in the bg of the movie) woah that was tense... anyway im not scared. solid 3/10 i'd rather watch something else with him that he'd have fun with

[esoomris]

so the local amusement park has this haunted house ride that's basically just a slow drive past a bunch of mannequins in situations w/ one jumpscare at the end, and a few years back there was some Public Outrage about one of the mannequins (woman attached to some sort of torture rack) b/c it was wearing "lingerie" (it was just a kinda low-cut lacy white dress) (it was there for years before some soccer mom decided it was Too Kinky and started writing to newspapers about it) and the park was all like "we are soooo sorry for this inappropriate display we will fix it immediately" and the next time I went the mannequin was still on the torture rack but now it was wearing a tied-off flannel shirt and a denim skirt.

[skyllion-uwu]

Hugo? Idk about him I just know you mentioned him

favorite thing about them

He has a few different things going on (fucked up psychologist, injects people with a serum to turn them into monsters, Batman impersonator, knows who Batman is either by pure luck or deduction) but I really like when he's a fucked up psychologist because I love fucked up doctor characters, and his psychosexual obsession with Batman fascinates me. Also he fakes his death like 6 times and he's fun to bully

least favorite thing about them

This is like particularly when he's turning people into monsters but sometimes he comes across as a eugenicist (and in one AU he straight up is) :/

favorite line

Had to think really hard because I wanted to choose something poetic, but sorry my favorite line is his "I am a model of mental health!" because a. Everyone attributes that to Bruce, and b. The juxtaposition of him saying it while dressed as Batman and running off is really funny. Also I think I've kinda explained that he's not a model of mental health

brOTP

Hugo and Jonathan Crane (AKA Scarecrow)! This is very much based on the versions that my one of my besties made (dunno if I can ping them since they're writing a story on their versions of Batman characters and nothing's out yet), but for canon basis, Audio Adventures mentions that Jon studied under him and I know they did work together in a main comic arc! I haven't read said arc but I think Wikipedia said Jon "kills" Hugo so I'm gonna guess they were not buddies but whatever

OTP

...Embarrassing to admit this because it's such a rarepair, but Hugo and Bruce. He has such an obsession with Bruce/Batman and it's already so heavy on the queercoding that it might as well be taken a step further. It's not really like a "Oh I want them to kiss because it'd be cute!" ship, it's a "This guy is obsessed with him that only makes sense if you read it as him having heavy amounts of internalized homophobia" ship

nOTP

Can't really think of one, I don't see many people shipping him with anyone. I've seen Hugo and Jon being shipped romantically but I personally imagine them being friends or a father-son type of bond

random headcanon

He's an avid Twitter user and types like a stereotypical middle-aged Facebook user. He uses it exclusively for doxxing people

unpopular opinion

I kinda like that he makes a lot of appearances because the writer just needs an evil doctor but I wish they would like. Let him be him instead of just using him as a go-to when they need an evil doctor

song i associate with them

favorite picture of them

Sorry to jumpscare with the sexy Batman mannequin but this is my favorite panel because it's fun to drop on people and I like his fruity ass outfit

[nitw]

sorry but i feel like i'm getting some VERY MIXED MESSAGES from the replies and comments so far ahsdcgjhdvfsjh..... maybe it's easier if i give an example of my limits...

i CAN play something like ib, because the jumpscares tend to be very mild (visually + audibly) but also predictable after a while. and it's just a top-down pixel rpg lmao

i CANNOT play something like voices of the void, even though i really tried!!! i'm familiar enough with the game to know about specific events, but those stupid mannequins were enough to make me nope out in the first 5 minutes. the fact that it's first-person and very immersive did Not help either 😭👍

does that???? narrow it down any better???????????? eee

can someone please tell me if mouthwashing has any major jumpscares 😭 or at least describe them if there are any at all. this game looks fucking phenomenal but i refuse to play it if there's jumpscares and i hate almost always having to spoil myself on an otherwise great game because i can't play it myself :'I

Going to a haunted house with Artem

A/N: I’m too lazy to write a full fic today so here is a random headcanon thing I thought of in the spirit of Halloween (even though it’s already 1 Nov here for me lol) :)

Going to a haunted house with Artem:

Artem isn’t scared at all, much unlike the squeamish people all around him in the queue. Haunted houses merely consist of props, elaborately painted faces and well-timed jumpscares at every corner turn. He knows for a fact that there’s nothing supernatural about the affair, which is why he’s never been much fun at haunted houses; he usually leaves feeling bad for the actors who did their best but failed to scare him. 

Still, he immediately caved the moment she invited him to accompany her to the latest and most popular haunted house attraction at the Stellis theme park. Apparently, she had won a pair of tickets from a lucky draw and he had been her first pick for her invitee. Of course, he jumped at the chance, lest she invited some other guy along with her. 

On the night in question, Artem can feel her increasing nervousness the closer they get to the front of the queue. He takes her clammy hand in his and gives her a reassuring smile. “It’ll be fine. I’m here.” 

His words don’t help that much, but they coax an uncertain smile from her. She’ll be fine. He’ll probably be enough of a killjoy that the actors won’t be motivated to put on their scariest performance.

“The reviews said this haunted house is pretty scary. I heard a lot of people peed themselves. Someone even fainted in there,” she tells him, before startling slightly at the sound of a shrill, distant scream. 

“They could have been exaggerating. You know, for publicity.” 

“True, but—”

“Good evening!” A staff member interrupts her mid-sentence. “The two of you are up next. Just follow the signs and head on in. Have fun!” The staff member then happily escorts them towards the entrance of the haunted house attraction. 

A dismembered and bloodied mannequin guards the wooden door, and he feels her grip on his hand tighten. Artem has a bad feeling that there will be no blood supply to his hand for the entire duration of their journey. 

The journey through actually isn’t all that bad. Artem gets why the attraction has so many good reviews; the ominous music, elaborately designed rooms and hidden places for the actors to deliver their well-timed scares all make for a very good, haunting experience. 

Unfortunately, he can’t really say the same for her, or for his hand that has probably lost feeling about five minutes ago. His ear is also ringing from the number of times she inadvertently screamed right into it.

On the bright side, he’s learning a lot about her today.

For one, she’s very easily scared. The actors have figured this out probably just from a glance at their faces, so it seems most of their “attacks” have been trained on her rather than him, despite Artem doing his best to shield her from them. At this rate, she’s going to end up in tears. 

For two, she has a surprising amount of expletives in her vocabulary that he’s never heard until today. He can already tell that she’ll be apologising profusely for it later, but he doesn’t mind it all that much. Besides, he did say “fuck” once when one of the actors swung a loud chainsaw at him. That one had taken him by surprise. 

By the time they’re out of the haunted house, he can tell that she’s drained and completely shaken up. Her cheeks are streaked with dried tears and it’s clear she’ll need a while to regain her bearings after enduring that much in just... fifteen minutes? It definitely felt longer than that. 

To top it off, there was a final scare waiting for them just outside of the exit, and she had almost fallen to the floor from the shock. It was a good thing Artem grabbed her before she could land squarely on her bum.

“That was embarrassing. Sorry you had to see all that...” she tells him once they’re a good distance away from the haunted house. “Is your hand okay? I might have grabbed it too hard earlier.” 

“It’s fine.” It’s a lie, but she doesn’t need to know that. To prove his point, he takes her hand in his once more, leading her in the direction of the ice cream truck parked a short distance away. “How about some ice cream? My treat.” He remembers reading somewhere that ice cream is a popular comfort food, and his hunch was right; very soon she’s back to her normal, cheerful self and they decide to explore other less frightful attractions in the theme park together. 

Conveniently, their hands remain joined for the rest of that night.

Ranboo: Just be quiet and wear the Ranboo my Beloved locket! No, I'm kidding. That sounded really really bad, I'm sorry! *laughs* I realised how terrible-

Tubbo: At least I know how valuable I am to you now.. Wow..

Ranboo: You are nothing but a mannequin for my merch

Tubbo: I am a number to you. I merely exist for the money into the bank account of you [?]

Ranboo: *laughs* I am kidding, I am kidding! That was a joke

Tubbo: I am just a number. Entirely dehumanised. You only care about the money! Scum!

Ranboo: Oh my god.. Ok.. Now you're going a bit too far!

Anyway, I DM'd, like, the people, like, multiple multiple times saying "Hey, we might get a lot of traffic to the website!", you know? "We might get a lot of traffic to the website" and then they were just like "Yeah, sure" and then Shopify proceed to just not! *looks at Tubbo*

Tubbo: *still pretending to be shocked*

Ranboo: I don't know what he's doing.. I'm just gonna keep making my cakes *looks at phone* Ok, so- Ok, 10 minutes and they're gonna relaunch the website!

Tubbo: *still pretending to be shocked*

Ranboo: *puts towel on Tubbo's head*

Tubbo: *still there*

Ranboo: Ok. So.. Here's what we're gonna do.. is we're gonna add butter to the pan.. like that *looks at Tubbo* He's just still there. Um.. *laughs* He's just there.. I guess. Yeah, just um.. *looks back at Tubbo* How long is he gonna commit to this bit? I think this is the longest he's ever- Ok, one second, I need to wipe my hands *wipes his hands on the towel on Tubbo's head*

Tubbo: *still standing there*

Ranboo: There we go. Ok, awesome. He's still there.. Alright!

Tubbo: *violently takes towel off his head and stares at Ranboo offended*

Ranboo: *looks back at Tubbo and laughs* Ok!

Tubbo: *violently throws towel at Ranboo*

Ranboo: AH! That was rude.. Ok, yes, so-

Halloween Countdown Special 🎃

Monsta X: Sleep Over

.

.

It's October 30th. A night before the Halloween strikes. And the boys are having a sleep over party at Wonho's place today as being planned. Since it's the Halloween night, they're also gonna have a horror movie night time together just for fun.

Hyungwon couldn't join the party because he is outside of the town for some work. So it's gonna be just the six of them.

They arrived early at Wonho's place that evening. Everybody gets so excited about the sleep over party. They're having a long talk while enjoying the drinks and snacks that they brought earlier. It's doesn't feel long until the night finally arrives.

It's half passed 9pm right now, and they're all already gathered up in front of the tv; getting ready for the horror movie night. Wonho and Kihyun are setting up the mini projector that Kihyun brought for the movie time. While the other members are busy choosing which movie to watch tonight.

"Are you sure this is gonna be okay..?" Jooheon suddenly asks with a frown. He looks very anxious right now, but the others just laugh at him because they already knew how much a scaredy cat he is.

"Of course it is! It's just a movie. It's not even real.." tells Minhyuk while he chuckles. "There is no ghost. Plus, we are all six people in here. There's nothing to worry about, okay? Just enjoy it. I'm sure it's gonna be fun." convinces him again as he's scrolling on his phone.

Hyunwoo just giggles as he's agreeing with Minhyuk. Jooheon looks agitated. He still feels uneasy. He knows he might be exaggerating it because he admits that he's a fully coward, but he doesn't really feels good about this. Something feels off tonight. Is it because it's the Halloween night..?

"But, this is not fair.." He suddenly throws a piece of popcorn in his hand to the floor as a sign of protest. "Why Hyungwon isn't here..?? I don't like horror movies very much, but I still came for the sleep over." complains him with his frown face.

"Hey! He didn't came because he has a work outside the town!" Minhyuk starts to yell while throwing the popcorn back at him. "And it has been 3 days. You don't remember?!"

"Yeah, he already told us few days ago. When we are discussing about the sleep over party. I think Wonho already told us yesterday too." adds Changkyun who is sitting next to Minhyuk.

Suddenly he feels stupid. Wonho did notified him again the other day, but seems like he forgot. "Ahh.. I'm sorry, I forgot. I thought he's just making excuses."

While they're in the middle of conversing, the doorbell rings cheerfully; makes everybody stop and turn at the same direction.

"Oh? Is it the delivery man?!" Minhyuk quickly gets up excitedly to fetch the door. But Kihyun's answer makes him pause his step midway.

"But we didn't order anything." he says. Minhyuk stops for a moment and turns to the other members to confirm. They're all shakes their head as a no. None of them are ordering foods or anything. Neither Minhyuk himself.

"I.. I thought one of you might ordered some pizzas for the movie." he stutters a little out of confusion. "Then, do you expecting for a guest tonight?" he directs the question to Wonho, but Wonho quickly shakes his head.

"N-No.. I'm not inviting anyone except for you guys." tells him honestly. Minhyuk is getting flustered. Then who's at the door?

He decides to go and see who's at the front door. And it confused him even more when he sees Hyungwon standing right in front of him. But he didn't says anything. He just stands there quietly while having his face down to the ground.

"Hyungwon? What are you doing here? I thought you're still out of the town. When did you came back..?" asks Minhyuk. He seems surprised with the sudden appearance. Yet Hyungwon is still in silence, doesn't even bother to answers him. He never looks up to face him when he talks. He just quietly walks pass by him and slowly steps inside. As if he's ignoring him.

"What's wrong with him..? Did he had any problems with his work?"

****

They're all quietly enjoy the movie. Well, actually it's not really that quiet because Jooheon, Minhyuk and Wonho keeps on screaming over the jumpscare and it really annoys Kihyun a lot.

"I can't hear a thing other than your screams!" he snaps. Changkyun just giggles, enjoying the whole scenario but gets freaked out when the ghost in the movie suddenly appears on the screen. He's burying his face behind Wonho's back while screaming like a kid. And it annoys Kihyun even more. It's very loud in here. Thank goodness there aren't at the cinemas.

This is such a very fun moment to enjoy, but Hyungwon .. he just sits there quietly without any reactions. His face and his body looks stiff. There's no emotion shows on his face that he almost looks like a mannequin.

Kihyun who's sitting next to him are the one who clearly notices about his strange behaviour. He's being unusually quiet tonight. It's so different with Hyungwon that he always knew. Hyungwon is a cheerful person. A funny guy. Although they're bickering a lot, but they're still friends. He would knows if there's something isn't right with him.

This feels weird. Not just Kihyun. The other kids are noticing it too. But none of them are saying anything. So they just keep it quiet for now and talk with him later after the movie ends.

****

Hyungwon fell asleep in the middle of the movie. And the others just let him sleep and have a rest for the night. Maybe he is too tired from work and the long drive.

The boys are going to sleep after the movie. Kihyun and Wonho are taking the couch, while the rest are sleeping together on the floor. Changkyun and Minhyuk are having a little conversation with each other. Jooheon, Hyungwon and Hyunwoo are already asleep, while Kihyun and Wonho are still scrolling through their phones.

As he's checking on his phone, Wonho comes to noticed about the texts he received. His heart almost jumps out when he reads it.

"Hey, I'm sorry I couldn't make it today. My parents suddenly came for a surprise visit." 17.02pm

"Tell the others that I said sorry. I'll make it up to you guys next time. Have fun :)" 17.03pm

He takes another look at the time again. 5.02pm. It's the time before the boys arrived. He haven't checked on his phone since then because he's too busy to prepare for the sleep over party today. But this isn't the main concern in here.

It's the sender of the texts.

"H-Hey, Kihyun.." he quietly calls for him. "Take a look at this."

He hands over his phone to Kihyun for him to see. Like Wonho, Kihyun gets very surprised when he sees it too. Panic, he looks down to see his friends who are laying comfortably on the floor. And he starts to count them one by one.

Five. There are five persons. But, if Hyunwoo was the one who sent the texts, then.. who is sleeping next to Hyungwon?

Steo Week 2020, Day 5

Title: Date Night on Halloween

Prompt: Halloween Rating: Teen Warning: cursing, lot’s of cursing. WC: 1627

You can also read it on my AO3

Summary:

Spooky season has begun and dates have to be exclusively spooks as well.

~

Stiles just finished up his work at the sheriff station when his phone pinged. He looks at the notification and it was his boyfriend, Theo.

Babe Are you free tonight?

Stiles Yeah, just go off work

Babe Get ready by 7

Ominous, but it’s Theo, what should anyone expect.

Stiles Sure, see you then Read 6:32 PM

Stiles takes his keys and heads out the station. He gets in his jeep and drives home. It’s been some time since Stiles and Theo got together and they hadn’t moved in together yet. Neither had Stiles got an apartment for himself. He was fresh out of college, still living with his old man.

“Hey pops,” he said as he stepped in to find his father cooking dinner.

“Stiles, how was work?” his dad asked.

“Nothing much happened today, including in the supernatural. It’s all mundane, but, I have a date tonight,” Stiles said, leaning against the wall as he watched his dad cook.

“On Halloween? he’s probably taking you to a horror movie,” his dad said.

“We’ll see, uh, I gotta go get ready,” Stiles said as he began climbing up the stairs.

“Don’t forget to add salt, dad!” he added, poking his head through the gaps between the banisters, remembering that his dad always forgets salt.

“Thank, Stiles,” his dad said as he reached for the salt.

Stiles scampers to his room and gets out of his tan uniform. He looks through his closet, wondering what he has to wear, so he texts his loving boyfriend.

Stiles What do I have to wear?

Babe Wear anything you want

Stiles Ok Read 6:24 PM

Stiles takes out a dark blue button-up and a nice pair of grey jeans. He quickly takes a small shower before changing into the clothes. He looks at himself in the mirror, combing his hand through his hair.

He looks at the digital clock on the bedside table, he still has 10 minutes before Theo comes to pick him up, so he heads downstairs. His father had finished cooking and he was sitting down to eat what he had cooked.

“Ever since you retired, you began cooking classes and actually eating healthy for once, what did you cook today?” Stiles asks sitting in front of his dad.

“Just plain ol’ stew,” His dad said.

“Oh, well it looks delicious,” Stiles said, noticing that the vegetables were slightly charred, but his dad was enjoying what he cooked.

Someone knocks at the front door, someone meaning Theo. Stiles strides up to the door and opens it.

“Hey,” Stiles greeted.

“Hi babe, c’mon, we don’t want to be late,” Theo said, pecking Stiles on the lips.

Stiles grins and he follows Theo to his car. Stiles excitedly sat in the passenger seat, while Theo drove them to who knows where. They pull up in front of a black warehouse, with people lining up in front.

“A haunted house, alright, don’t expect me to scream and jump into your arms, though,” Stiles said as Theo parked the car.

Theo smirks, remembering how Stiles says that he isn’t scared, but would end up throwing popcorn everywhere at the slightest jumpscare when they watched a horror movie.

They go up to the line and when they reach the counter, Theo pays for both of them and the attendee gives them two wristbands that they’d have to wear during the whole experience. As they inched closer to the haunted house, Stiles' heart raced and Theo heard it loud and clear.

He softly squeezes Stiles’ hand and looks at him, “you’re totally scared and excited.”

Stiles nods, “no, I’m not scared and yes, I’m excited, very excited, thrilled, pumped.”

“Scaredy cat,” Theo teased.

“I’m not a scaredy-cat,” Stiles protested.

Just as he said that one of the haunted house scarers came up to them from behind, scaring Stiles, just by standing behind him.

“Holy shit!” Stiles screamed, making Theo snicker.

Tonight was going to be the death of Stiles’ throat, he could feel it. The attendees let them in and they slowly walk through the dark hallways.

“Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck,” Stiles panted as they walked through a hallway with paintings hanging on the walls.

One of the paintings slid and a nun lunged out to them, albeit bloody and bruised, with a sharpened cross. Stiles physically jumped back while Theo got startled. Stiles hung on to Theo’s arms, hiding behind him as they walked into a room.

His heart raced as he got scared by people coming out of doors and windows and even a mannequin he thought was just a fake decoy turned out to be real.

“Fuck you!” Stiles screamed as it lunged toward Stiles.

As Stiles tried to regain himself to move forward, the mannequin lunges at him again, scaring Theo.

“No! You do it once, not twice!” Theo shouted as he moved with Stiles into a hallway.

Doors open and zombies lunge out, left and right, scaring Stiles and Theo. One of the scarers wore a pig mask and scared Stiles by running after him with a chainsaw. Stiles holding on to Theo begins running and he trips on the floor.

“Don’t kill me, kill Theo instead!” Stiles screams at the ‘pig-man’.

“What?!” Theo said, confused.

Stiles crawls down the rest of the hallway until the pig-man stopped following them, they walk into a musty room, filled with leaves, and during the whole time, Stiles cowered behind Theo at every jumpscare.

“I’ll protect you, Theo, I’ll protect you,” Stiles said as he walked behind Theo, hugging him from behind.

Two men crawl to them with decoy knives in their hands and Stiles pushes himself against the wall, gripping tightly on Theo’s t-shirt as he uses Theo to block them. While Theo tries to push them away by swishing his arms around himself.

After they disappear, Stiles and Theo continue on down the room and enters a dark hallway.

“My throat is hoarse, I am blind as fuck right now, come at me motherfuckers!” Stiles said, feeling around the walls as he walks down the dark hallway.

Stiles looks at Theo and gets startled at Theo’s golden eyes, “AAH! Fuck, sorry!” he said as he accidentally yelled right at Theo’s face.

“Sir, no night vision please,” an attendee at a corner said to Theo.

“You, my man, are not scary, thank you,” Stiles said to the attendee.

Theo rolls his eyes before going back to normal vision, and now he saw what Stiles say.

“How is this scary? It’s all dark,” He said, and just as he says so, the pig-man comes up and scares them again with his chainsaw.

“Shit! Run, Theo, RUUNN!!” Stiles screams as he runs down the hallway.

At the end of the hallway was a circus setting, fake clowns and animals, covered in blood. Stiles and Theo were clinging onto each other, as they slowly walked through the claustrophobic space between the clowns and decoy animals. To Theo’s right, a clown moves, pushing Stiles into the hands of a decoy mannequin, who Stiles clings on to.

“You’re not Theo!” Stiles screams and runs back to Theo, “we don’t split up in these kinds of situations!”

“You left me!” Theo said.

“No, you ran away!” Stiles said.

Their quarrel was cut short with another unexpected jumpscare by the pig-man. Stiles falls backward and as he does, he brings Theo down with him.

“What is up with the motherfucking pig?!” Theo shouts.

Stiles and Theo get up and walk out of the circus room while getting jump scared by 3 clowns.

The last hallway down, they get jump scared by a very dehydrated looking woman zombie.

“Get me out of this hellhole!” Stiles said as he jumped onto Theo.

Another scarer comes at them, slower than usual but enough to make Stiles back against the wall, “ha, you came slow, that’s good, A+ for you!” he said, chuckling out of fear.

As they walk out of the haunted house, Stiles takes a sigh of relief, feeling the cold October air hit his face. Theo wipes the sweat off his face and hugs Stiles.

“Finally, it’s don- AAAH!”Stiles was saying and the pig-man once again crawled up behind him.

“Peppa motherfucking pig, amirite?” Theo said to Stiles, as he pants from the scare.

“I think I peed my pants a little,” Stiles managed to say through his deep breaths.

Theo chuckles and they walk along to the exit where if they’d like, they can take pictures with other attendees wearing the same costumes like the ones inside, of course, Stiles and Theo got a picture with pig-man.

They drove home and Stiles was still shaken by the haunted house, his ears slightly ringing.

“So, scaredy-cat, want me to sleep with you tonight?” Theo asked.

“First of all, it was not scary at all, and yes please,” Stiles said.

As Theo rolls up the driveway, he stares at Stiles with the look that says ‘liar’.

“Fine, it was hella scary, especially the pig,” Stiles said as Theo turns the car engine off.

They walk to Stiles’ room where both of them change into their nightwear which is just boxers, and they crawl into bed.

Stiles was exhausted and comfortable in Theo’s arms. Theo’s warm body was very needed on a cold October night like tonight. Theo seemed to fall almost asleep before Stiles, so he decided to prank him.

“Boo!” Stiles whispered into Theo’s ear.

Theo jolted a little before realizing that he was fine, “was that to get me back for taking you to a haunted house?”

“Maybe?” Stiles said as he snuggled himself into Theo’s arms.

“Ok,” Theo said.

He pressed a small kiss on Stiles’ forehead and held the boy close as he fell into slumber.

Brother's weekends (part 5)

Disclaimer: This part is longer than previous ones, so if you are busy or simply feel tired to read, leave it for another moment.

Child's bedroom:

After hearing a laugh, Gabriel slowly turned around to cradle, covering in cold sweat, trembling and swallowing hard.

Gabriel: W-Who is there?

He prepared the spear just in case, despite the rule of not using any powers in human world. Slowly, he approached to cradle, and when he finally got courage to peek out who was it....there was no one.

Gabriel: Huh? But...there is no one there. Maybe it was just a-

As he turned around, a bunch of creepy dolls surrounded him.

Gabriel: AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

With a shout he swang his spear and destroyed these artificial creepy dolls. Panting from fear, he tried to put himself together and after couple of minutes with a speed of light he ran out of this room.

Kitchen:

Raphael took some minutes to get up and look around.

Raphael: How did it happen? Weren't we supposed to be in one room together? Oh well, I guess it’s part of the scary human attraction. Still, I need to get out of here and find my brothers.

He looked around in a search for the exit. Finally finding the door, he immediately rushed to open it, but for his surprise it was locked.

Raphael: Huh? It’s locked. I guess i have to look for key here. 

And he started to search in every chest of drawers, every shelves. 

Raphael: Hmm, seems like there is no key around. Oh well, I have no choise, but break the door.

He was about to use his strength, when suddenly light began to flicker, furniture shook like it was an earthquake. Raphael looked around more as got into position.

Raphael: What’s going on here?

He stepped back a bit, when suddenly someone grabbed him from behind. But Raphael was not just an ordinary human, so he grabbed arms that surrounded him and with force threw them over his shoulder.

Raphael: My apologize, it’s all for the sake of-

He was about to say something, when he noticed that it was another one of the mannequins, but this time it was mechanic one. It surprised him even more.

Raphael: Wait a minute, so all this scary things are artificial?

He thought to himself as examined the mannequin. It looked definitely scary, like a mad chief-killer from some kind of horror movie or video game. Suddenly he noticed that in one of its pockets there was a key to the door. He didn’t care about the damaged he dealed to attraction, his only thought for now was to fianlly find brothers. For couple of minutes brothers were looking for each other, until they finally met in the hall where they were before.

Lucifer: Raphael! Gabriel!

Raphael: Lucifer! Is Michael with you?

Lucifer: Unfortunately no, I looked everywhere I could.

Gabriel: Same. Oh God, what if something happened to him??

Raphael: Michael is an Archangel, Gabriel. I’m sure he is fine.

Lucifer: I will go and look in other rooms, Raphael and Gabriel, wait for me here. If I don’t come back in five minutes, you will go after us.

Gabriel: Oh no, I will not let demon go alone like this!!

Lucifer: Gabi, I know how you hate me and everything I do, but trust me, I’m not in a mood to do any pranks right now. 

Raphael: He is right. I will make sure that none of humans enter there until we find Michael.

Lucifer: Good. I will be back soon!

And he ran onto Michael’s search. Everyone were on nerves, people were confused of why they couldn’t enter the attraction. Some of them even wanted to call the administrator. Gabriel tried to use his angel powers to focus and find Michael by his aura. But they weren’t even realising that the answer was closer than they imaged.

Mirror maze room:

While brothers were searching, Michael was walking and looking around. So many reflections of him, so many mirrors.

Michael: Oh wow, I couldn’t image that humans can have so many mirrors. But what can be scary in the mirror? Unless they tried to show that the scariest thing is yourself....which is true, to be honest.

He flinched from such thought as kept walking, looking for the exit, while bumping into mirrors several times. And as he almost found the right way, he looked in the mirror. 

Michael: I wonder how my brothers are. I hope they didn’t get into any trouble, like me.

As he was thinking to himself, Michael noticed something strange in the mirror. He was about to look closely, but suddenly a jumpscare appeared in the mirror.

Michael: AAAAAAA!!!

He screamed as ran towards the way where exit was, bumping into mirrors with another jumpscares. And when he finally reached to the door, he turned around and noticed that....mirrors were back to normal again. He was confused and stunned, but it didn't worry him. 

Michael: I need to find Lucifer, Raphael and Gabriel. It was bad idea to come here. What an idiot I am....I need to find them.

After several attempts on opening the door, he finally could do it, as suddenly he bumped into something, or....someone. Michael immediately looked up and recognised the familiar face.

Michael: Lucifer!

Lucifer: Michael!

Lucifer hugged Michael tightly. He felt that Michael was trembling a bit as stopped hugging for a moment.

Lucifer: Thanks God, you’re alright. We were worried about you. No scratches?

Michael: Luci, I’m alright, don’t worry. I’m so glad to see you and know that you’re alright. How are Raphael and Gabriel? 

Lucifer: They’re alright. Well, Gabriel got scared a bit, but honestly, humans could do better.

Michael: Phew, thanks God.

Lucifer: You are trembling. Did someone scare you? Or hurt you?

Michael: I’m fine, just....reflections got me a bit.

Lucifer: Pfff, really? That old-school trick? C’mon, Mike, you’re an archangel. I thought that something serious would scare you, like Leviathan or Cerberus.

Michael only giggled from embarrassement as Lucifer smiled and both got out of this room. Meanwhile Raphael and Gabriel tried to handle with people, but realising that it’s no use they had to use powers to make them forget about them being here while waiting for Michael and Lucifer. Finally, brothers met each other again.

Michael: Gabi, Raphy!

Raphael and Gabriel: Michael!

Everyone hugged each other tightly.

Gabriel: I’m so glad you’re alright. Nobody hurted you? Didn’t Lucifer do anything bad to you?

Lucifer: Hey!

Michael: I’m alright, Gabi, don’t worry. Let’s better get out of here.

Raphael: Agree with you.

And together they went out of the Scary House, forgetting that some things from this attraction were broken by them.

How scary is tma?

well I'm a scaredy cat so on a scale from 1 to 10 it's a 9 for me, but really it depends on what you call scary! there's a lot of body horror, like trypophobia, eyes growing where they aren't supposed to, slightly more limbs than usual etc. however, there's no sexual violence, no jumpscares, none of those annoying horror tropes. I'd say there are trigger warnings in the episode descriptions, but they only start from episode 90. s1 is heavy with graphic description of trypophobia, s3 is mostly focused on murderous mannequins. but what's the most interesting about this podcast is relationships between characters, not necessarily romantic, not really a found family either, just their ways to cope with circumstances. anyways sorry for rambling, yes it's scary but it's totally worth it!

[oviids]

thanks for answering my ask! i have listened to a few more episodes and think i will continue, they're so good! are there jumpscares, and also are there any stories about posessed dolls? i can't deal with those. you are really kind to help me❤

agh sorry i just saw this one!! if it’s not too late, there aren’t any traditional possessed dolls per se, but there are a lot of possessed/animated mannequins and and some mechanical constructs. they show up the most in s3, i believe.

[seokkgenie]

May I please request Hoseok with “I’ve got you.” And “That’s not gonna happen.” I can’t see the numbers for some reason!

Drabbles

“I’ve got you.”+ “That’s not gonna happen.” + Hoseok

“Come on, Hoseok hyung!” Jungkook was practically whiningnow.

Hoseok sighed, his usual smile gone from his face, “Jungkook,”he started, in his most determined voice, “If I told you once, I’ve told you amillion times. There is no way in hell I would willingly go into a hauntedhouse.”

Jungkook smirked, “Okay, I guess I’ll tell Y/n that we’ll begoing in on our own.”

Hoseok’s ears perked up at this revelation, “Y/n’s going?!With you?”

Jungkook didn’t fail to notice the jealousy evident inHoseok’s mannerism, and decided to use it to his advantage. “Yes, she is. Sheprobably needed someone to cling onto if it became a little too scary.”

“That’s not gonnahappen.” Hoseok stated, but he didn’t feel very confident about it. He frowned,crossing his arms and agonizing over what to do. The image of you holding ontoJungkook’s bicep or burying your face in his chest was enough for Hoseok tomake a decision.

He groaned, “Fine, I’m coming.”

Jungkook smiled in victory as you returned from thebathroom, “Let’s go, boys.” You said, excited to see the fake ghosts and thecorny voice effects. “Ghosts await.”

Hoseok didn’t say a word while you stood in line, the frownon his face constant. His hands were sweating due to how nervous he felt, whileJungkook was unfazed. You, of course, were a mix of both.

As soon as you entered, you noticed the way Hoseok lookedaround warily. The place was not as dark as you thought it would be, but it hadall the decorations on its walls to make it look a little creepy. Jungkook walkedinfront, Hoseok following behind him while you entered last. You braced yourselfmentally for all the jump scares that lay ahead, but Hoseok clearly had not. Assoon as the first ghost(or was it a zombie?) leaped out from the corner with ascream, Hoseok yelled out loud, his voice high pitched. He looked terrified, whichyou found a little endearing, a small smile appearing on your face instantly.

Jungkook gave you a small nod, winked and ran forward, leavingyou behind with Hoseok. You were going to kill that asshole. You frowned in thedirection that he had gone making sure to shoot daggers from your eyes eventhough it was redundant.

You moved forward, Hoseok seemingly calm enough tofollow,  but he screamed again as soon ashe saw a moving mannequin. He cursed out loud, regretting coming into themenacing place. He wanted to protect you, but he had clearly over estimated hisown courage. He mentally face-palmed at his stupidity. If anything, this wholemess would drive you further away from him and probably into the arms of somecocky brave heart like Jungkook.

You grabbed his hand, startling him more than the ghostsdid, which led you to shush him soothingly, “It’s just me!”

He looked at you when you intertwined your fingers, “Come withme, it’s okay.”

He could feel how perfectly your fingers fit in between hisown, his heart rate going up by what seemed like a thousand beats per minute. Fora second he forgot where he was, the warmth from your hand seeping into his ownperspiring one.

But, the second another ghost or whatever creature it wasjumped up at him brushing against his shoulder, he lost his cool, yelling andjumping furiously again.

You were a little startled by the scare too , but you werenever one to yell out loud. You had to bite your lip to keep from laughing atHoseok’s misery. You realized that this would get you nowhere and pulled himforward, putting your hands around his waist, holding him close. “I’ve got you.”

He froze again, matching your footsteps without a second thought.The proximity was intoxicating for him, your perfume blinding his senses. Youtried your best to shield him from any anticipated jumpscare, throwing yourselfinfront of him. Frankly, you were surprising yourself by being so unaffected bythe haunted house. He still winced at every corner, hesitated and let out asmall yelp here and there, but you somehow made it out in one piece.

Once you were out, you loosened your grip on him, but heldonto his hand. You sighed in relief, “That was crazy.”

Hoseok didn’t say anything. He looked down at the ground,then sighing, he shook off your hand and walked away. You followed him, runningto catch up. “What’s wrong?”

“I fucked everything up. I’m such a wuss.” He replied, stillavoiding your eyes.

“Not really, you were kind of cute!” you said, but heprobably wasn’t too convinced.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you in there.” He said and youburst out into laughter, making him look at you with wide eyes.

“Protect me?” you asked, still laughing, “Hoseok, please, I’ma grown-ass adult. I don’t need anyone to protect me!”

He sighed, “Yeah, but I bet Jungkook would have, anyway.”

You pouted at the mention of your betrayer of a friend, “Jungkookabandoned us in there and ran. He can go to hell!” As an afterthought, youadded, “You know what? I’m going to make sure to kill him and send his evil assto hell!”

Hoseok smiled slightly at your declaration, and you took thatmoment to hold his hand again. “Besides, it felt nice to hold your hand.”

He blushed, “Yeah?” he asked.

Both of you began to walk towards the food stalls, as yousmiled looking at your intertwined fingers, “Yeah, so can we do it more often?”

He squeezed your hand as a response, already planning in hishead how he would officially ask you out.
