Nightmare before christmas-ifies your dca ✨️

In a place called Halloween town, you are a doll brought to life by a sunny mad scientist as an assistant, but when you go on an errand on halloween night you accidentally catch the eye of The midnight King Moon skellington, meanwhile later on you meet the boogeyman Eclipse, and you find yourself wound up between the three as they pursue being your significant other.

Word vomit in three two one 👇✨️

Moon Skellington - otherwise called the Midnight King - is a mayor of sorts, as well as a representative of halloween town. Despite being one of the indivuals that are the scariest of halloween, he is actually one of the kindest and calmest individuals in halloween town. He is the one who keeps the peace and makes the laws, one of the most important ones being no harming anybody. That means no harming the humans, and no harming each other. They are creepy and spooky yes, but thats for the fun of halloween, and they are not to intentionally hurt. Especially no killing anyone

Dr. Sun Finkelstein - or the Mad scientist - is a sentient runaway robot who was found by Moon and brought to halloween town. He does have a few screws loose and does have a bit of a grudge on humans for whatever reason, but he continues to respect Moons laws. He seems to respect Moon himself even more so, with how he acts around Moon compared to anyone else. This may have something to do with how Moon was the one who let him make his home in halloween town, and at the moment he appears to have become friends with Moon.

Eclipse - or how he is more famously known, the Boogeyman - is a banished criminal of halloween town. He was found when he was young, a centipede-esque hatchling of some sort of creature, freshly abandoned and hatched in a sack. He was raised in halloween town just like most of the other individuals, but he grew up spiteful and angry about the parents hes never met abandoning him. It isnt quite known how, but he went insane, and as a result started to harm other individuals. And even seemed to enjoy it. Moon has now banished Eclipse and has him imprisoned under a not so abandoned tree.

You are a new resident of halloween town, a living doll made to be Dr. Sun's assistant. You havent been alive for too long, and you were created with knowledge yes, but you still dont know much, though you are trying your best. You may possibly be one of the least scary residents of halloween town, but despite that you seem to be appealing to some because you seem to have caught the eye of three others. Your own creator who struggles a bit with denial at first, a mischeivous but kind gentleman that keeps the peace in halloween town, and a feared criminal of both the halloween town residents and the human world. (Please note that you can imagine yourself however you want, this is just how I imagine we look like)

Remember my Smiling Friends wonderland AU? (And the rest of them

Well….

Im making a TNBC and CB AU for Smiling Friends

And of TADC

Both SF Aus involve CharAllan (Charlie X Allan)

Why?

BC to me I really don’t ship Charlie x Pim I’m sorry. Just- Pim is Child coded to me And my other social besties.

I’ll be uploading more of this for the rest of October more than my Wonderland AUS

(Same with Christmas on TNBC)

[hugsandchaos]

Here’s a couple headcanons for a Nightmare Before Christmas Swap AU

•Sally is the pumpkin queen, and always experimenting with the scientist to try to come up with new and exciting ways to scare people

•Sally gets along well with her creator, the scientist, who’s been thinking about making her a mother for when he’s no longer with her

•Jack Skellington usually goes by unnoticed, which is thanks to his unbeatable talent for scaring people, which includes sneaking up on them

•Jack has his scarecrow-on-fire form, but is too nervous about accidentally setting something on fire given how big the flames can be to use it much

•Zero is still with Jack, but Zero seems to be more known around the town while Jack is more of a ghost than the actual ghosts

•Jack’s curiosity got the better of him and he ended up discovering the Circle of Holiday Trees pretty early, but he hasn’t really told anyone about it yet since it never came up

•While in Christmas Town, he made quite the memories meeting the elves and reindeer (they were terrified of him at first, but they eventually got over his spooky appearance when he went around with his “What’s this?!” questions, when they got a glimpse of who he was instead of what)

•Once, when a bonfire wouldn’t light up, Jack promptly changed to his scarecrow form to help

•Sally has run into Jack twice in the graveyard, once when he was playing with Zero via fetch with one of his ribs and the second time, he accidentally scared her

•She complimented him on how well he snuck around and he wasn’t quite sure what to do being given a compliment from the leader of Halloween Town, so he thanked her and said he had to go find Zero

•Oogy is rude to pretty much everyone except Jack, who he fears due to past conflicts

I've always wondered If Oogie Boogie became the new Pumpkin King back in "The Battle for Pumkin King", what would he do as Halloween's new leader and what would come after it. which is how I got the idea for this AU (There's also the Holiday Traver Sally AU i currently have in the works)

i also made it as a tribute to Ken Page

[galahadthelate]

Many moons ago, in the desolate land of Twitter, I concocted a Hartwin Nightmare Before Christmas AU. Harry was the Sally of the story. Silently pining for Eggsy the chaotic Pumpkin Prince.

It hasn’t left my brain since.

I read “Sit Together, Now & Forever” on Ao3 by @sylwritesstuff and @theladydrgn and absolutely fell in love with it!! I’m not usually a big fan of fanfics but this one was just amazing ahhh!!! 

And not to mention the wonderful designs by @saminander which is what inspired the fanfic. I didn’t see the art before reading the fic so I sort of combined how I imagined them and their designs. But after seeing the drawing they created I also fell in love with their art so please go check them out it’s all so good !!!!

(Also I might make a comic about how Aziraphale lost his head in the first place because that idea I had is what inspired me to draw this sjdhfksjd)

💀🎃👻This Is Halloween👻🎃💀

A/n: Sequel to Spooky Greetings

Overblot Bois and Skully x Fem Reader. SPOILERS FOR THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS event. Especially THE END.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN~! 🎃

The ups and downs of being in a place like Halloween Town was quite the experience.

Despite the detour you encountered.

Like being nabbed by Skully for witnessing him kidnapping his dear Skellington and holding you and Grim captive in a literal walking bathtub to Spiral Hill. Yet he was the nicest kidnapper there ever was.

“Please enjoy these and make yourself comfortable, my love.” Skully’s kiss on the lips made you too tongue tied to eat the snacks he left behind. Leaving Grim to eat them instead.

Thankfully it didn't take long for a rescue. As in Sebek, Jamil and Leona dueling Skully as the others came to your side, totally put off by how unharmed you are. Immediately gobsmacked as you ran to a blushing crying Skully having a meltdown over his own personal issues and hugging him out.

If his idol and you could console him on his limited views on this spooky holiday and forgive him so easily, then of course he'd start bawling for joy.

“There there you precious boi.” You're cooing as you hug him and brush his white locks, Skully’s wet face nuzzling your flushed neck, to the flabbergasted faces of his rivals for your affections. And in that moment he won.

Finally the time had come to throw the yearly spooky celebration.

Hearing all your fellow schoolmates singing a tune tickled the back of your brain at the familiarity of said song.

“Sweets for you, my greatest treat~” Riddle showed up in the walking tub with Lock, Shock and Barrel, handing you a pumpkin faced treat with a smooch to your cheek.

“Let me fill your dreams with frightful delight~” Leona purred in your flushed ear, embraced you from behind as he kissed the top of your head from above, with Zero the ghostly dog bopping you on the nose with his tiny glowing pumpkin one.

“Your screams are music to my ears~” Azul's octo strength made it that much easier for him to twirl you around in his arms, dancing across the town, pecking your forehead.

“I'll be there for my lady fair.” Jamil assured as your hair like his and Sally's blew from the chilly winds; the autumn leaves flying on by, as he dove in to smooch your nose.

“Ride with me in the dead of night.” Hugging Vil securely as he modeled with ease on the flying broomstick gave you quite the view, turning around a bit to leave his kiss on your other cheek.

“My heart screams for thee!” Idia presented a heart in a jar to you given to him by Dr Finkelstein made your own heart want to pop out in fear and yet it was oddly sweet, especially cause your zealous boi smooched your neck, possessively marking your neck.

“Our Halloween Queen.” Malleus easily swoops you atop the Mayor's car he was driving at the moment, carrying you bridal style, gifting you a full on kiss to your lips, smiling mischievously against your own.

“In this town we call home, everyone hail to the Pumpkin song.” Holding your gloved hand in his own, you and Skully waved along with everyone else as Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, rose from the town fountain, pride emanating from him as everyone cheered at the finale.

Too bad you all forgot about it.

Until you were back at school, when Headmaster Crowley presented to you all a very rare portrait of a NRC alumni from centuries ago. Aka the King of Halloween that made such a holiday what it is today in all of Twisted Wonderland.

Despite no memories of the strapping young man, you all felt drawn to him and his influence, inspired to make this the best Halloween yet.

But while everyone else was getting pumped up by it, you were feeling odd. Like you were missing someone you had never met in the flesh and bone.

Seeing your admirers blushing red at your costume, appearing in a rag doll inspired couture dress with a ribbon collar to boot, it was time to begin Halloween Week.

And yet, for some reason, you felt eyes on you throughout the whole week. Tingly touches to your hands that felt like brushing kisses. Even on All Hallows Eve, the ghost-like press of the lips all over your face made you on edge during the float parade.

Running by the portrait in the midst of your anxious worried state. Those eyes following you unbeknownst to you all. With the moon full and the party still going strong in the distance, you felt drawn to the tombstones littered around Ramshackle Dorm. Instinct, another voice, your feet moving on their own will, call it whatever you will, for you moved to a particular worn-out grave. Atop a hill.

Watching the spectral form of the King of Halloween himself appear before you coming out of the grave, bowing graciously before you, as he offered his skeletal gloved hand out to you, his teary eyes and smitten smile unveiled to you, it all made a sudden wave of emotion hit you hard in the feels.

“Y/n, welcome back.”

While the mind was still fuzzy of your recollection due to the magic of the book, something else more primal awoke in you the moment your eyes locked onto his. Your feet moved before your mind could.

As physically as one could embrace a ghost, you still felt traces of warmth amiss the cold. You were surprised to feel physical arms hugging you in return. The bridge between the living and the spirits was blurred tonight so …

The longer you two stayed that way, the more the fog in your brain began to depart. The flash of your last moment together made you realize the reason for his choice of words.

“Skully.” You softly wept, clutching onto him tighter, when he cupped your face to kiss away the tears. His face, his mouth, they all feel so warm. “You're really here.”

“It's been far too long, my love.” He confessed.

That prolonged deep kiss began ebbing away the mist. Gently licking your bottom lip to get you to open. Smiling smugly as you returned it sincerely, humming at your hands running through his wispy hair. His phantom self became solid and lean, heart beating right up against your chest, his scent became more potent as they were the sweet and spicy of Autumn nature.

“I'm home.” He whispered against your luscious lips, nuzzling his nose to yours, smiling all lovesick at your giggling self.

The ghostly trio residents watched on with hearts in their eyes as you got lost in bliss, slowly dancing with the founder of their spooky dorm. Engaging in lip lock once more. Floating off the ground, basked in the stars of this special spooky night.

For you, his Queen, danced with him, your Pumpkin King.

When he was alive he was wealthy man with a wife (that he loved very much) and some say they had a son too, one of his passions was to grow a farm one day but bc it was not so acceptable in rich families to work this kind of jobs so when he got married he use his money to grow secret farm away from his new home so no one will judge him he mostly grew pumpkins and he everyday go there to take care of his precious farm.. but his wife one day found out he’s been sneaking outside in early hours or late at night..never understood why..she thought he may cheating on her and she got so upset..she one day had enough ....she cut off his head and she saw he had secret farm a bit later on, she had no choice to hide his body in a scarecrow and the head she hide it deep into a lake so nobody will discover him and if they will, they never know which body it was..because he’s head is missing.. but because it was Halloween somehow the Halloween miracle he was awake? but with no head attached to him ..he search for new head for day after day..then one day he remembered he had pumpkin patch ,so he took some pumpkin and a candle inside the mouth and the legend say he still walking around until this very day..but only on Halloween night...frighting the people.. (of course he got to the dead world in some point and met many great people to accept his passion and look)
