#this is where Charlie kills me

[waugh-bao]

“He's [Mick] a huge worrier. He's not like me and Keith, and thank goodness he isn’t, at times. Sometimes I wonder if he worries too much. For me, it's a question of whether my hands hurt. With him, if his throat hurts, he can't sing, can't perform. You have to be very strict like that, and he's a very bright man, he's very aware.”

Charlie Watts, 2013

[a-dauntless-daffodil]

.... well this noir Vaggie au edit got waaay out of hand ha ha!

self indulgent au lore under the cut bc WEEEE

Detective Vaggie finally got enough blackmail on Valentino for Charlie and Angel to pin him in a corner, but as Vaggie expected, Angel Dust ends up doing what almost every other Sinner has done after Vaggie hands the evidence over to them, and chooses to just accept Valentino’s renegotiated and seemingly better soul contract rather than break it and make a mortal enemy out of an Overlord

Of course the first thing Val does is force Angel Dust to destroy the evidence they’d used against him, just like every other Overlord Vaggie's worked against always has, leaving Angel at his mercy again

And also leaving Charlie devastated. She'd given Angel her promise of protection as soon to be crowned king of hell-

(long story) (Lucifer wanted to kill Vaggie for scarring Charlie a few years back and Charlie had to beat him up to stop him) (the Overlords, led by Velvette and the Vees, decided to flex their power by saying this invalidated Lucifer as king and made Charlie the new ruler of hell) (she reluctantly accepted because..)

-hoping it would be enough to counter any Overlord threat against Angel once he was free

Ironically though, Angel Dust having come to see her as a friend after all this and not wanting to put her in the line of fire ends up with him sticking with Val instead, who gloats about it, and tells Charlie to her face what he'll do to her friend and her pet P.I. if she (as soon to be king) doesn't back down and let the Vees do all the real running of hell (like they already have been)

Charlie the Pissed let's slip she's had enough of Val as she leaves his studio (both her and the studio being on fire)

No one takes her little threat seriously, except for Vaggie, who sees Charlie picking up and weighing Vaggie's spear in her hands when she thinks she's alone. Vaggie freaks out realizing Charlie is about to go do a murder

So Vaggie decides to break her own no-more-murder vow AGAIN for a girl AGAIN (last time was for Velvette) and she kills Valentino before Charlie can reach him, regaining her wings (kinda), absorbing his demonic energy (yuck), belatedly becoming one of the Vees like Velvette had once wanted (not in the way Velvette had wanted), and accepting all Val's soul contracts including Angel’s, which she breaks

She also breaks the truth of everything to Charlie on coronation day-

(maybe also breaking up with or getting dumped by her, even though they weren’t even dating)

-confessing to the murder and her exorcist past

Now that she’s an Overlord and Charlie’s about to be King of Hell, anything publicly personal between them (like Vaggie staying the basement of Charlie's abandoned hotel instead of sleeping in an alleyway next to a dumpster every night) would throw the other Overlords into a rage over the power imbalance with normal sinners caught in the crossfire or getting used as canon fodder, something neither Vaggie or Charlie can stomach

Besides which Vaggie feels 0% worthy of Charlie anymore after breaking her no-murder vow, and Charlie is feeling more things than she knows how to name about that and the exorcist thing, none of them good

Their last kiss (for now) leaves claw marks on Vaggie’s face to match the scar she gave Charlie all those years ago-

(which Charlie has finally also confessed to her about, to Vaggie's horror, Vaggie having blotted the memory out after binge drinking with Husk the following week)

-the scar from when Vaggie happened to still be holding her spear as Charlie reached out to help her, and ended up lashing out instead of flinching back, unintentionally driving away Charlie and their happy life together

(this shit luck is what pinged Overlord Husk's gambling powers and led him to Vaggie, meanwhile Angel dropped a paying client to go check on the random demon chick- Charlie- soon to be nicknamed Apple Slice by him- holding her bleeding face in her hands as she stumbled down the street in a daze)

Charlie and Vaggie made do with other friends when what they both most needed was each other

They’ve both been miserable and lonely since then, had only just started to build up what they should have had together all along while camping out at the old hotel working on Angel's case together, but the case is done and now…. this

This is NOT a good timeline for them (yet)

I have to give a shoutout to Charlie Vickers in S2E7. He did it. He made me loathe Sauron. He made my skin crawl. He made me feel sick to my stomach. He made me happy to know Sauron wasn't ultimately going to win. Charlie did it.

Now, don't get me wrong. I'm still a Sauron fangirl in every way, shape, and form. I still love Sauron with all my heart. He's still insanely sexy to me. But he did it. He made me viscerally hate Sauron from the depths of my stomach.

All the kudos to you, Charlie Vickers, you amazing, amazing person.

and all of a sudden if i dont get The Thing within the next thirty seconds i WILL be suicidal for at least a week

[suddenlymicah]

has anyone considered henry possessing glamrock freddy or am i being a little silly right now

[girlfailurefelix]

i’m so glad we’ve started to open up to the possibility that the MCI is pre-CC bite cuz i’ve been thinking this for a while (yeah kid can be traumatized by his brother being a dick, but still) and while i know no one likes to 1:1 everything, it was really solidified as a concept for me w vanessa’s thing in the movie considering i’m pretty sure the MCI kids are CC’s age so that would be a very intriguing parallel. like william doesn’t need a “good” motive, he can just be awful.

HNNNNNG I'm torn between fighting the brainworms down and chugging along with my Chainsaw Man fics and slowing my CSM stuff for a sec to write a couple of Hazbin Hotel one-shots. SO. Poll time!

Your tags about charlie poisoning dee and frank compel me to mention that everytime someone mentions “dennis is a serial killer” near me I want to respond with “It’s more likely quick to anger and prone to rash decision making and holding grudges Charlie with his in depth knowledge of the sewer sytems and off the grid living would be a more prolific serial killer.”

NO STOP I . LITERALLY NO JOKE THAT IS MY EXACT SAME THOUGHT PROCESS LMAOOOOO-

CHARLIE BEING A SERIAL KILLER IS SO MUCH MORE FUN TO PLAY WITH. Like its ALL these little things in canon- HIS KNOWLEDGE OF THE SEWER SYSTEMS/LIVING OFF THE GRID YESSS, his comment about Jamie Nelson drowning being said with what seems like... fondness???, the "Bad Room", his writing The Nightman Cometh all as a scheme to try n pressure the Waitress into accepting his proposal by making a play that's like "see i had a bad childhood so u should just forgive me for everything! im not so bad after all!!", the fact that his job requires him to slip into a dissociative state in order to constantly mercilessly maim living creatures that he canonically resonates/identifies with, his ability to manipulate people with ease in general with his initial charm, the various parallels made between Charlie and characters like Patrick Bateman and Norman Bates and Buffalo Bill....,

like idc i think charlie as a serial killer would be Way more interesting... just think abt Charlie Catches a Leprechaun! he's a natural! and it's so hypnotizing watching the man work that u kinda GO ALONG WITH IT until the rest of the gang snaps us out of it,

also i do think Charlie Day is very smart writing-wise and he'd totally think up a character like this that is a subversion of that "harmless manchild" trope and turn it on its head by giving it a pretty grim ending... like . he's 100% smart enough and talented to pull smth like that off LOL

and i dont want ppl to take this as me trying to trash Charlie, cuz as I just said-- that is an extremely difficult kind of character to pull off!!!! Talk about a slow burn.... I am fuckin praising the man for his writing/performance of Charlie Kelly cuz he is so fucking convoluted and complex n im obsessed and a twist like this would just b the cherry on top

[sk3l3t0n444]

"You ruined my life! You tore apart my family, you tore my heart right out of my fucking chest-" Charlie's voice broke as he choked on his tears, "and yet I still want you to have it..."

Mariana faulters, hesitates for a moment. He wants to reach out and hold his husband, rock them both from side to side and comfort him. But he can't.

Not when he is the reason he's such a mess.

"Charlie..." He tries, weakly. Charlie sobs as he turns his head away.

"GOD." Mariana flinches as Charlie yells, stomping his foot and running a hand through his already disheveled hair "Mariana..." His voice softens. "When I said my vows-" he paused to take a gasping breath, "-I never, never! Thought that the death that would part us would be our daughter's." He stops again to compose himself, rubbing his face. "And by your hands, no less..."

Mariana held his hands close to his chest, wringing them together anxiously as Charlie spoke. He wanted to speak, opened and closed his mouth a few times as he tried. His words died in his throat, without a chance to be voiced.

"You broke me, my home, my heart, my family-" He hesitated. "...My daughter." Mariana opened his mouth to speak, an apology on his tongue, "BUT I STILL LOVE YOU."

They both stopped.

Mariana looked at Charlie, shocked, confused. How could he say that? He couldn't. He couldn't love Mariana, not anymore.

"I'm... Sorry." Mariana says, hesitant.

"Look what you've done to me Mari..."

He did. He stared at Charlie, for a while. In front of him was not the man he married. Here before him was a man, broken and torn apart by grief and betrayal.

Broken and torn apart by him. The person he was meant to trust the most.

Charlie spoke up again. "For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do we part... I meant it. I still love you, I cherish every sickening moment we spend together, Mariana!" His voice is gravelly, hoarse as he choked back tears again. At this point, neither could tell if they were of sorrow or rage. It didn't matter.

Mariana's eyes flickered over every part of Charlie in sight. Searching for something, a sign, words to say.

He found them.

"I... Love you too, Charlie."
