#tim sutton x you

[the-s1lly-corner]

Ohhohoo consider this, Admin! Tim and Brian x reader who has a child from a previous relationship! Young child, to be specific! Thank yoooou :3

Tim and Brian as step parents

Speed writing a bunch of stuff today (today is april 15th as I write this) because I'm about to get very busy.. sobs

Notes: Reader is GN, focal point is the child though, written with the kid being younger

CWs: None

Tim

He tries not to get in the way of your parenting if you dont want him to- and even if you want him to step up hes a little.. well!

He doesn't know what hes doing and he doesnt know where your boundaries are, so asides from "oh yeah make sure the kid is fed and doesn't get sick ect ect" hes got a huge learning curve to face

Doesnt smoke around the kid, even tries to make an effort to not come home smelling like smoke

Not uptight but not loose when it comes to rules and the kid when hes in charge of them; definitely has a system and set of rules

Would kind of freeze up if the kid called him dad- does not expect it nor demand it so it catches him off guard

Brian

He has a lot more luck than Tim, at least when it comes to connecting to the kid

Oh boy I sure hope he doesnt suddenly vanish never to be heard of again-

Okay I'll stop

Good with kids, I think, hes able to keep the child entertained so you can go do what you need to or relax

Sometimes takes the kid out around town so they can get out of the house

Definitely would show them stuff from his own childhood, cool bonding moment for the two

If the kid wants to call him dad Brian seems like the type to want to be called "pop" as an alternative- not that "dad" is off the table of course

HIIIIII :>

Can I please request Ben, Puppeteer, Masky, Liu, and Ej with a s/o that has a HUUUGE hello kitty obsession?? Like room is COVERED in hello kitty plushies and all that fun stuff

Summary: Ben, Puppeteer, Masky/Tim, Liu and Eyeless Jack whose s/o is obsessed with Hello Kitty (headcanons)

Genre: Fluff!!

Warnings: None!

A/n: IM SO OBSESSED WITH SANRIO MY FAVORITE CHARACTER IS POMPOMPURIN I HAVE THIS GAME ON MY PHONE CALLED HELLO KITTY FRIENDS AND I KID YOU NOT IM SO OBBSESSED WITH THAT GAME THAT WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES TO TRY AND SLEEP I SEE THAT STUPID FUCKING GAME WAHHHHH

Credits: Ben Drowned- Creepypasta, The Puppeteer- Creepypasta, Tim Wright/Masky- Marble Hornets, Homicidal Liu- Creepypasta, Eyeless Jack- Creepypasta, Divider- benkeibear, Pictures- Pinterest

Ben Drowned

Honestly he can't say anything because he's obsessed with Hatsune Miku

He claims its Ironic, but it very obviously isn't

But his obsession with Miku (and vocaloid in general), is NOTHING compared to yours

He loves it though, because it gives you a cute dynamic

Every time he sees anything sanrio related, he thinks of you

It doesn't even have to be Hello Kitty specifically, just any sanrio product

And of course, he HAS to get it for you!

You've gotten sodas, plushies, snacks, earbuds, bags, even wipes

Because of Ben, you have almost anything in a Hello Kitty styled packaging

He likes to "trade" obsessions if that makes sense

For example, you wear a vocaloid shirt and he wears a Hello Kitty shirt

Complimenting each other's interests makes him so happy idk

And he DEFINETLY has some form of Hello Kitty merch himself

Whether it be something that you don't like any more, something you just don't have room for, etc, he has SOMETHING

And it makes him so giddy to know that a little bit of you will always be with him no matter what

Jeff makes fun of him for wearing your old Hello Kitty backpack, but he doesn't care because it smells like you, and it carries everything he needs so perfectly <3

He lobes his hello kitty partner

God forbid you break up, because ANYTHING Sanrio related will send him into a meltdown (fucking weirdo)

The Puppeteer

He's a very obsessive lover, so anything you like, he likes

When he sees your Hello Kitty obsession he immediately begins his research

He will learn all Sanrio characters, all characters closely related Hello Kitty, any lore in the universe, official merch, etc

He will fr pull up dripped tf out in hello kitty merch

The shoes, the pants, the shirt, maybe even a hat

You will giggle and kiss his chin, asking what he's doing

And he will shyly ask if you like it teehee

Your obsession is now OUR obsession

Well, with him it's less obsessed with Hello Kitty itself, more so him obsessed with whatever he thinks will make you like him more

You will literally be cuddling or just hanging out and he'll quote hello kitty to impress you

He's trying his best ok, just kiss him and tell him he's doing good

Masky

Your obsession kind of scares him

Not like, in a "omg this is so unhealthy :(" way, because he literally couldn't care less what you're into

He just gets scared of all the DOLLS

Oh my lord the amount of hello kitty dolls you have freaks him out

It's something about how all of them are the exact same thing, just over and over again

The sheer amount of them combined with the similarities between the dolls just weirds him out and gives him a chill up his spine

Good luck getting him to come into your room

He will refuse to unless you're like, sick or something

Other than that, he will not tolerate it

And this is a brave guy! He doesn't typically get scared of dolls, but idk man hello kitty just ain't it

Despite all this, he still loves getting you gifts with Hello Kitty

He knows how much you like it, and just because it freaks HIM out doesn't mean he's gonna not allow you to enjoy it

He won't actively participate in wearing merch like the other guys

He's definetly more of a "hold your plush bag while you go to the bathroom" type guy

Sorry pookies :(

Homicidal Liu

He doesn't get quite as into it as other's on this list might

He's more of a "Oh well I'm happy you've found something that makes you happy :)"

If you asked him to do something like match outfits he'd accept though!

He loves getting to do things like that with you, little stuff but it makes you both happy

He gives all your plushies different names and personalities

Maybe if you ask him nice enough he'll knit them little clothes and scarves...

He also loves to use the plushies to get what he wants

For example, if he wants to go out with you and you say something along the lines of "but im so tireeed" he'll grab a Kitty plush and begin "talking" to it

"Do you hear this? They say they're too tired to go get yummy food with me" He'll lift the toy up to his ear, nodding as if it's whispering something to him before going "I know! I was thinking we could go to their favorite restaurant too! Such a shame"

You'll scoff and roll your eyes playfully, while he brings the toy to your face making obnoxious kissing noises as if the toy is kissing you

Once your laughter fit dies down, he'll ask if you really just wanna stay home or go out

He will happily accept whatever response you give

Eyeless Jack

He is a lot like Liu when it comes to your obsession

More so just a "Oh good for you :)" type guy

He loves to just show up with random things

For example, he will knock on your door before opening it, and silently waving around a little trinket he thought you'd like

He loves seeing your face light up as you rush to come get the gift and kiss him over and over

It makes him feel extra giddy when he "earns" kisses

So expect a lot of gifts

And if you don't give him a kiss one time, he will pout until you do kiss him

grrr give that boy a smooch he loves them

[lexi0widow]

masky/tim simps come get yall juice

picture this, you’re both walking down the streets of a city im disguise so no one will recognise the two of you. It starts out as a nice sunny day but after a few hours it starts to drizzle

‘Is it raining?’ You would ask

‘I don’t think so.’ Tim would answer very bluntly

but then seemingly out of nowhere it starts to pour.

‘Holy shit?!’

‘Goddammit.’

You dressed for the morning weather so you were left with no jacket, Tim however never leaves the house without a jacket, so he takes off his jacket and throws it at you. Like literally throws it. Don’t be suprised if you can’t catch it.

‘Put it over your head.’

‘Thank you?’

‘Don’t get used to it.’

theres a pause

‘And learn to check the fucking weather.’

after about half an hour the rain calms down and both of you continue on your journey, his jacket is draped over your shoulders as you walk side by side earning you stares and ‘awh’s as you walk past people

‘People think that we’re dating’ you giggle under your breath

‘The fuck did you just say?!’ he asks in disbelief trying to hide the was his face heats up at the idea

‘Chill I wasn’t saying anything bad people just think we’re dating’ you explain silently laughing after finishing your sentance

Tim who tries to act tough and grossed out at the thought but you both know (well he knows and you hope) that his heart flutters at the idea.

cut too two years in the future as you both walk down that same street his jacket draped over your shoulders once again only this time his hand is in yours and you both laugh about the memories of that day

im gonna try and finish these requests now and when i get to the airport im sorry for taking such a long break mls

⋆｡°✩ MAIN MUSES ✩°｡⋆

[PT: My Muses]

A simple list of all the characters I love writing for and believe I write well + the general headcanons and personality I write for em

Danny Johnson || The Ghostface [Dead By Daylight]

★ Firstly, this is my husband. My absolute man. I will be writing about him so fucking much because I am kissing him. ★ Tall motherfucker, like easily breaks 6'2, pretty small compared to other killers though ★ I write mine as a cis dude, I love FTM headcanons for him and all but in my brain he's cis! Queer Danny supremacy tho. Uses any pronouns but usually just goes with he/him ★ Demiromantic and Bisexual, Danny "Any Hole Is A Goal" Johnson but has a hard time with romance because he very rarely if ever feels romantic attraction. (Unsure of the original source of the demiromantic bisexual flag, but i remade it from an icon i saw) ★ Has NPD (kinda canon but developers used Narcissist as an insult, too bad taking it literally) + ADHD

Michael Meyers || The Shape [Dead by Daylight + Halloween]

★ Actual fucking giant, like 7 feet tall and some change ★ Also cis, I promise there are trans headcanons here somewhere. Anyways mainly he/him but doesn't really give a fuck. ★ Completely aromantic and pansexual, no romantic attraction but very queerplatonic. Aropan flag by @/flag-mashups (link). ★ Autistic and completely nonverbal, probs some other issues but I haven't thought about it a whole lot.

Amanda Young || The Pig [Dead By Daylight + Saw]

★ Lil gal (as far as killers go), 5'10 ★ Transfem MtF, She/Her and maybe sometimes They as a treat ★ Pan lesbian + Sapphic, imo she's alright with dating anyone that's not a purely cis dude. Pan lesbian flag by @/bi-lesbian (link). ★ Autistic, c-PTSD, HPD, I project onto this character hard so she gets a lot of my issues.

Anna || The Huntress [Dead By Daylight]

★ TALL WOMAN 6'3 ★ Bigender Demigirl, always has a feminine connection to her gender but often times feels really masc. She/Her but still nonbinary. Bigender Demigender flag made by @/sakosai (link) ★ Pansexual ★ c-PTSD, Autistic, BPD, another character I project onto lol

Sadako Yamamura || The Onryō [Dead By Daylight + The Ring]

★ I WILL NOT WRITE NSFW OF THIS CHARACTER EVER don't even bother asking. ★ Itty Bitty Baby, 5'6, smallest of the killers ★ Agender, can't be bothered with it. ★ Aroace, very affectionate though! Aroace Agender flag is by @/rjalker [link] ★ Def has a personality disorder, which one? Haven't decided but something on the cluster b spectrum. Otherwise, ADHD (possibly audhd?) and comorbidities.

Others I will write for under the cut! Not as much detail, just that I would write for them if asked.

Rumors

Summary: The gossip circle has never let you down before.

Pairing: Reader x Dick Grayson, Batfam & Co.

Words: 1.3k

Warnings: Fluff, swearing, annoying siblings.

AN: I need the fluff. Euphoria made me cry and I need fluff

“Oh my god! Oh my god,” you shout excitedly, exiting your building and running straight into your favourite tall and handsome man, clad in his very best jeans and t-shirt.

"Oh my god!" He mimics you, jumping up and down, "what is it honey?! Why are we so excited!" Dick says, taking your face in his hands to give you a quick kiss.

"I heard from Steph who heard from Tim who saw-" you stop, remembering what Dick had warned you about and your terrible gossip habits, "actually it's nothing."

"Come on, you can't leave me hanging like that,"

"No, you told me no gossiping and I promised," you say, glancing at the crosswalk and swaying your pointed tow in an attempt to look innocent

"Well clearly you've already spoken to Steph so spill, "He says, his hand dusting on your back as he guides you down the street to your favourite café. You take a seat at your regular booth and order your shakes. You fidget in your seat, twirling the straw between your fingers, picking at the plate of fries in front of you.

When he raises his eyebrows at you, over the straw in his banana shake you can't help but spill the beans.

"So you know how Mr Wayne-" you start.

"Bruce," he cuts you off.

"Right, Bruce," You say the name still feeling weird on your tongue, "he's having a big party for his birthday,"

"Yes, I am aware of his birthday," he says, wondering where you're going with this.

"Well, apparently Damien is bringing a date!" You squeal.

"A date? My little brother? He's 12, why does he need a date?"

"No, Love, don't you see what this means?" you say, beginning to bounce on the spot.

"That you think a 12 yr old should be dating?"

"No," you say, leaning across the table to playfully slap him in the arm, "he made a friend! A real friend! A friend he likes so much he wants the whole family to meet them!"

Dick looks at you awestruck, he hadn't even considered… "good for him, it's about time people starting appreciating him,"

"My thoughts exactly, I wonder who it is?"

--The Night of the Party.--

"The party has arrived!" Dick announces as you both enter the manor, him clad in his best tux and your in your favourite black dress.

The family is all mostly here gathered around the food table. Squished together in a little circle, while the piranhas circle the room looking for a stray Wayne to accost.

"Ah Mr Dent," Dick says holding you next to him when you try to step away towards the safety of the group, "have you met my beautiful girlfriend?,"

"No I don't believe I've had the pleasure," the man says, taking your hand and you resist the urge to pull away. Remembering you need to be polite to these people, even when the urge to flinch when they touch you is overwhelming, "lovely to meet you,"

"Same to you," you say. hoping on your foot as you try to inch away but Dicks hand holds you steady.

"Sorry, family to greet," Dick says, nodding at the man and escorting you away. Until someone else approached you and you let out a groan. You could hear the chuckles coming from the corner as the family laughed at your situation.

"Mr Grayson, nice to see you again," the woman says and you try to find an out. God you hated how polite he was sometimes. You made eyes at Tim, begging him to come and save you. But he just smiled and waved at you, traitor. You looked at Jay, but he was to busy shoving food unto his mouth.

"Miss," the woman says, trying to grab your attention.

"Oh sorry, excuse me," you say, "my mind wandered off,"

"Miss Sutton, was just telling us about her new business venture. She's entering the fashion industry, thinks you would be a great model for her works."

You place your hand over your mouth to hold in the laughter, "Thank you, but I'm actually quite busy at the moment. You know how it is," you shrug.

"I'm sure," she says, eyeing the blank way Dick and yourself were staring at her, your eyes flicking over to the ruckus being caused in the corner.

"Love," you say looking up at him, ignoring the way the woman was eyeing you in your tight dress, "I need to-" you make eyes at him, telling him silently that you want to leave.

"We best be off, you know how families are," Dick apologies to the woman, pointing at the how Stephanie had Jason in a headlock. You smile at them and thank them silently for the distraction as Dick escorts you off towards the safely of the corner.

"Nice of you to join us," Tim jokes, handing you a cupcake.

"Thanks for the rescue," you deadpan, glaring at all of Dicks evil siblings.

"Hey!" Jay says raising his hands in surrender, "you're the only who wanted to date a goody to shoes,"

Dick rolled his eyes, "where's Bruce?" He asks them and they all point to the crowd of people in the center of the room, "oh no. You guys, you're meant to be helping,"

"We are helping, we're staying very quite and pretending we don't exist," Steph chimes in with a laugh.

"Well, we're gunna go help. You losers stay here," Dick says taking you by the hand.

"We?" You whined, why did you have to go?

"Yes we," he says, rolling his eyes. He leans down to whisper in your ear. "Please, honey, I'll do that thing you like,"

You pull back, raising your brow at him and he gives you a small nod. "Ok," you plaster a big smile on your face and grab two glasses of champagne. Strutting your way over to the dance floor with your arm linked with dicks.

You managed to lull the crowd and somehow even to get Bruce hidden in the safe corner with the kids while the band started playing.

"Where is Dami?" You ask Bruce, "I haven't seen him,"

"He's around, probably hiding somewhere," Bruce says, squishing into the corner behind Jason when he notice's someone looking for him.

"B this is your party, don't you want to talk to your guests?" Jay teases, peering down at him over his shoulder.

"Not really,"

"Look over there," Dick says pointing to the two little hands creeping out from under the table cloth across the room, "bet that's them."

"Probably", Bruce says, "Damien and his friend are going to be quite to trouble makers, put you and Roy to shame," he claps Jason on the shoulder.

You look up at Dick and he reads your mind, "want to dance pretty lady?" He whisks you away and the family all make puking noises at you from behind. You pay them no mind, focusing on his hands as they sweep you across the floor your dress fanning put behind you. "Are they looking?" Dick whispers in your ear.

"They're eating again," you say with a quick glance over your shoulder.

"Let's go," he takes your hand, leading you behind the curtains that adorn the large walls giving you a quick kiss, "time to join the real party."

"Hey kids," you say sneaking up behind Damien and his friend, only to be greeted by a knife to your knee,

"What's up?" Dick says, kneeling down beside you, taking the knife from Damien and sticking it to the roof of the table. You both audibly gasp when your eyes move from Dami to the dark haired boy seated next to him.

"Grayson, This is a private party," Damien says, pulling his dagger from the table and sliding it back into his ankle holster.

"Hey, this is your oldest brother right? Dad talks about him all the time. Nice to meet ya," he holds out his little hand and you shake it. Eyeing the treats these two who had been hoarding under the table.

"Wow strong grip," you say, not nearly surprised as you smile at Jon.

"Last time I saw you, you were so Little," Dick says making little heart eyes at his brothers new friend

"Got any snacks?" You ask leaning around them and nearly falling over.

"These are not for you," Damien glares at both, "Please leave,"

"OK ok, sorry buddy," Dick says taking your hand and pulling you away,

"What did I say about the nicknames Grayson," Damien scolds his eldest brother and if it isn't the cutest thing you've ever seen. But you know that he hates when you say that, so you just hold in the coo's for the moment.

"Nice to meet you Jonny, can't wait to see you around more." You wave ducking your head from under the cloth before retreating into the curtains once more.

You waited until Dick had lead you into the hall until you both squealed and began jumping up and down. "Jon! Jon!" You both screamed, "Jon, fucking, Kent!"

"He made a real friend! A super friend!" Dick beamed, proud of his brothers progress.

"I know! I can't wait to tell everyone!"

"No," Dick said stopping you, his hands holding your throat while his thumbs caressed your jaw, "Damien will tell them when he's ready,"

"But love-"

"No buts honey," he leaned down capturing your lips in his kiss.

"I won't tell," you promise surrendering yourself to his touch.

"Want to go home?"

"Yes, but what about Bruce?"

"The others can handle it for one night,"

"What are we waiting for then? Let's fukin go."

[cattivorosa]

do you think chenford will be canon? I can see it going canon because of the fans and it being a heterosexual ship but I’m still unsure

Hi anon! Thank you for asking this because I’ve been dying to put all of my thoughts on the matter out there.

Honestly, I don’t know! If you asked me this a week ago I might have said no - a lot of their development so far can easily just be perceived as the writers trying to keep fans happy while also keeping chenford platonic. That being said, the fact that their development this season has been so significant on a personal level (tim supporting lucy after jackson’s death, lucy supporting tim with his father, etc) is something that’s not lost on me either.

Both Melissa and Eric have been saying in cameos that we’re going to be happy with chenford for the rest of the season and I can’t help but feel like they’re referring to something significant and specific. Plus we’re getting the dance next week (yay!!!) that’ll come with some development (with the episode description being about discourse between them)

A friend of mine (hi sutton) who is a fan of The X Files has graciously informed me that the writer for that show was in no way a fan of creating a relationship between the two main characters, despite their popularity, but they still ended up together anyway. I can’t help but compare and use this as hope for chenford as we all know alexi is not known to be chenford’s number one fan.

The one and only thing that stumps me is that tim and lucy are both in relationships right now. However, I really don’t see that as a long term situation. I don’t have any ideas on where the story with chris and ashley is going to go, but I do think, or hope at least, that they’re only temporarily here. At the end of season three, tim and lucy were only just getting out of their to/rookie relationship, so I didn’t see them getting together immediately. Season four has been great for developing their friendship and relationship outside of their once work-only relationship and if they date other people while that happens, then so be it. What I do believe is that everything that’s developing between them now is leading to somewhere more.

So - do I think they’re going to be canon? My final answer would have to be a solid ‘I think so”. With what’s to come plus the rookie being renewed for a season 5, I think there’s a really good chance that they’re going to go further with chenford. I imagine the writers are well aware that the majority of people are rooting for chenford, and at this point in time I really don’t see any other outcome for them. Their relationship is incredibly deep-rooted and significant, which is something that can’t be ignored. This may not have been the original plan for tim and lucy, but it’s undeniable now that they’re meant to be together!

When Jay had first crossed the screen in his first appearance, you had covered your mouth and tried not to cry. How hard it was to see such a sweet face that had once been full of life and curiosity that was now a simple memory left within the dust. Tim was stiff, tense as he watched the screen, and you held onto his hand tightly.

The more you watched on, the quieter and stiffer you got. Watching that…thing…stalking your friends and lover made your heart constrict, watching as Alex became stranger and stranger….more homicidal and angry….as the tapes went on. It made you wonder if you would have ever stood a chance against him.

Would he have spared you? Would Alex have remembered who he was, even just for a second, if you had been there to help? It made you angry that you hadn’t been there for him.

The more you watched, the more you began to shake with the guilt and anger and sadness.

You wished you had been there to help. You understood why Tim had left you in the dark, but it hurt. It hurt watching someone you had grown up with and idolized become a monster because of the influence the Operator had on him. And gods, seeing Brian’s face again…it made you wish that you could go back into time and take their places respectively.

When the unknown masked man came onto the screen, your whole body had tensed, your eyes wide. Tim glanced over at you, curious as to why you were reacting in such a way. You were certain that you had seen this man before, but where had you seen him? Where had you seen that feminine mask? Your head began to hurt, and you rubbed your eyes, the memory trying to come back but no matter how hard you tried, it just kept sticking to whatever was holding it back.

Tim couldn’t look at the screen. Every time he saw himself like that, it made him hate himself…hate whatever it was that he would become when those moments would come. Lighting up a cigarette, Tim rubbed his forehead as the clips played on. One after the other, more of the mystery unraveling before you, and when the part came up that revealed who the masked man was, you couldn’t move.

There was no way Tim was that masked man, right? Sure, the evidence was right there…but that wasn’t your Tim…that wasn’t the man you fell in love with…right? You grabbed his cigarette from his lips and took in a long, shaky drag before giving it back, and Tim couldn’t help but look so damn ashamed of himself. He had no memory of these moments, no memory of chasing and watching these people, yet it was still him. Not his conscious, but it was still his hands that had hurt these people you both called your friends.

Would he ever be forgiven for the sins his body committed? Tim didn’t really think so.

You were lost, if you were honest. These were people that you had known for years, all acting so incredibly different…all people that you weren’t sure that you really knew anymore. Even if Jay and Tim acted like themselves, you still didn’t know if you really recognized them.

Alex was the most shocking difference of them all. Even the look within his eye was different, that once confidence-filled, knowledge-driven gleam within his eyes replaced by the gleam of an angry and broken man.

He hadn’t deserved this. None of you had deserved this.

Nonstop, you had watched the videos, never resting or giving yourself a moment to breath. You knew that if you took even a simple break, you wouldn’t be able to keep watching the tapes. You knew you had to keep watching. Just like Tim said, you were beginning to understand the more you watched…understanding why things were happening the way that they were.

Why your friends had disappeared, why nothing really felt alright even though you lived as if they were, and why that thing was stalking you. You understood it all, even if it still confused you slightly.

When Jay last encountered Alex, and you watched as Alex shot him, you had jumped, covering your face slightly. Hearing Jay choking on his own blood, desperately trying to find air to breathe made your own lungs ache. How could Alex be so willing? How far gone was he really? You could feel Tim’s hand on your thigh, rubbing gently but hesitantly, and despite how scattered you were, you were grounded by his warm touch.

And then Entry 86 began.

Tim and you sat in silence, and you didn’t know what to say.                                      

Especially as you watched him kill Alex.

Such brutal strokes of the instrument held within Tim’s hand sunk into Alex’s neck over and over, blood spilling from between Alex’s fingers as he tried desperately to stop the bleeding and stop Tim. However, Tim was a hurricane, a force that demanded respect as he displayed such brute strength against the very thing that had caused him so much agony and pain and suffering.

If there was a second, a moment, that you had ever felt true fear…it would have been in this very moment as you watched your lover take the life of another.

Granted, you understood why.

Alex was not the man that he used to be, no matter how much your heart told you to believe that there was some semblance of good within his heart and that his intentions really had been good….but this man that lied bleeding on the floor beneath Tim’s bloodied hands was not the man you knew growing up.

This was not the Alex Kralie you had once called your friend and brother.

Even then, it still hurt watching Alex choke on his own blood, desperately try to take in one last breath, as Tim stumbled away. It hurt to know that Alex had been the cause of so much anger and confusion; of so much suffering. It hurt to know that he had been the reason Jay had been killed, that Seth was still missing, that Brian had died…and why Tim was so traumatized now.

Despite it having been two years since the last entry uploaded onto the channel, and despite Tim having done countless therapy appointments, there were still times in the night where he would wake up screaming from the nightmares that plagued him, calling for Jay and crying so hard that it sent him into coughing fits and sometimes seizures if the stress was too much on him.

Those moments always pained you…seeing him so afraid, so pained…you often would silently cry as you held him and helped him back to sleep, wishing there was something that you could do.

But now that you understood what it was that plagued him at night, you doubted that there was anything that you could do for him.

The room was quiet as the last entry ended, and you both sat there in a stiff silence, afraid to speak. What could either of you say? That Tim was sorry for killing your best friend? That you were sorry that you couldn’t help him? What was there to say? You let go of Tim’s hand, sliding off the bed, and shakily, you grabbed one of his cigarettes, almost unable to light it up with how much you were shaking.

Tim’s mouth opened, his hand reaching for you, but no words escaped his parted lips as you disappeared into the bathroom. He knew you were probably extremely scattered at the moment, trying to piece your thoughts together as you mourned and tried to understand…but he was afraid that his worst fears would come true.

You were going to hate him for what he did and leave him, and there wasn’t much that he could do about it.

What could he say? ‘Hey, I’m sorry for murdering your best friend, but I promise it was for a good reason.’? Tim would rather shove his head into his ass without saying a word. For a while, it was quiet. The rumbling of the a/c was simply white noise, but through the shuddering, Tim could hear the soft sound of you crying in the bathroom.

God, he had really dreaded this moment.

What could he do? He didn’t want to go in there and disturb you, but Tim also didn’t want to be an ass and leave you alone. Biting his lip, Tim ran a hand through his hair roughly before deciding to try and approach you. The least he could do was try, right?

Walking to the bathroom, he knocked silently.

“Baby, I know there’s nothing that I can say to make you feel better…there’s nothing that I can do for you that will ever make up for what I did…but if….if one part of you still loves me even after knowing what I’ve done…I promise you that I’m going to be here for you…I’m going to start being more honest with you. No more lying…no more keeping you in the dark…just…just honesty and trust.”

Tim rest his head on the doorway, feeling his heart constricting and chest tightening with the urge to sob, and for a pregnant pause, there was silence. Before Tim could turn to leave, the door quietly clicked open, and your tear-tracked face greeted his tired, glassy eyes. You looked angry.

“Timothy Wright, if you think for one second that I would ever stop loving you, then you obviously haven’t been very observant for the past nine years that we’ve been together.”

Tim bit his lip, sniffling lightly, and you opened the door all the way, rubbing your arms afterwards.

“I’m….I’m not angry at you for killing Alex. It was obvious to me that if it wasn’t him then it would have been you…and call me selfish, but I would rather him than you. That man…that wasn’t the Alex that I knew. He was too far gone and I think the only way to have stopped this was to kill him.”

You paused, taking a shaky breath.

“I’m not mad at you, I’m mad that this is what it had to come down to. I won’t lie, though; I wish I hadn’t been kept in the dark about it all…though, maybe that was for the best as the whole thing progressed…”

You looked at Tim, affirming to him softly.

“None of this was your fault, Tim. I know you felt like it was, and you honestly believe that, but I know that it isn’t. Alex started to meddle with something he didn’t understand, and it cost him everything. It caused us to lose the things most precious to us, and that’s something that will never be your fault. Sure, you killed Alex, but…but I think it was for the best.”

Maybe you were selfish to have rather it be Tim who walked away from Benedict Hall that day instead of Alex, but to you, that man that had bled to death on the floor of Benedict Hall was not Alex but the shell of the man you had once known. Alex had been past saving…but Tim still had that chance for a normal life, and you were glad that fate had given it to him.

Would you have survived the news knowing the man you loved was killed by your own best friend? Probably not. You weren’t taking the news that Tim had killed Alex too well either, but this was your lover. This was the man you dedicated your life to for so many years, even when you felt like you didn’t deserve him in your vulnerable moments. So, in your selfish little brain and your selfish little heart, you were glad it was Tim who lived during that fight.

You would never, however, forgive the universe for taking Jay, Brian, and Seth away. Granted, you hadn’t known Jay and Seth very well, but they were still your friends. They were still people who had deserved a normal life but instead had gotten sucked into Alex’s mess unwillingly.

You knew Brian very well, and it pained you to know that he was one of the first people to have fallen into Alex’s fucked up web. Such a sweet and innocent man now a decaying corpse in the earth…it was fucked up, wasn’t it? This whole situation…fucked up.

Tim was trying so hard to keep himself together, but fuck; he was so astounded by you. How was it that you could still love him even though your friend’s blood was on his hands? How were you able to do that?

You looked up at him with those eyes of yours, and Tim could feel the dam break. Tears fell down his face like a river, his face reddening from his sobs, and Tim couldn’t help but bring you into his arms and hold you so close and tight to him.

“I’m so sorry…I’m so sorry, (Y/n).”

You were gentle with your touch, gently scratching his back as he finally let it all out. How long had it been since you had last seen Tim cry? Was it months? A year or two? You were unsure, but you knew that you didn’t like it. Tim was sobbing harshly into your shoulder, a few more sorry’s escaping his tobacco-laced lips, and it took all you had not to cry as well.

How cruel it was of you to forget that Tim was still broken by it all. How cruel it was of you to forget that Tim was still haunted by the memories of the events of Marble Hornets despite the countless hours of therapy he was doing. How cruel it was of you to forget that Tim, too, missed Jay and Brian. You whispered to him softly.

“There’s nothing to apologize for, Tim. I understand now…”

Tim only cried harder; held you tighter to his body. He did not deserve you. He did not deserve to hold you, to kiss and touch you, and to have your love and grace. Tim didn’t deserve a damn ounce of it, but he would be damned if he wouldn’t be selfish. Though, wasn’t he always selfish?

“I tried to save them…”

Tim cried softly.

“I tried to save them…but I was too late. I couldn’t save Jay, and I couldn’t…I couldn’t help Alex…and I couldn’t help Brian.”

For two years, he held that burden, that weight, within him, refusing to allow anybody else to carry that guilt but himself…and now that Tim was finally revealing it; all the pain that he was feeling…it felt…relieving.

“Alex was past saving, Tim…there was no hope for him, no matter how much I wish there was. Jay…Jay deserved much better than the fate he had been given…and Brian…he tried his best too. They all tried their best, some falling short than the other, but they all tried, Tim. You tried. All that matters now is that we keep trying to move on…we keep living and surviving.”

Tim whispered to you softly.

“But it’s because of me that the Operator is coming after you now, (Y/n).”

You shook your head, tensing slightly.

“No, Tim, it isn’t your fault at all. No matter what your head tells you, this was not your fault.”

It was more-so your own fault for heading back to Alex’s old house for sake of nostalgia and remembrance and finding those damned drawings (which you were sure was what alerted the Operator to your presence) but you weren’t sure if you could reveal that to Tim just yet. So, you opted more to comforting him…wondering if there would be a right time to tell your beloved of your stupid choice.

Tim slowly began to calm down, getting a hold of his breathing as he calmed, and you pulled back slightly to gently wipe his eyes and cheeks. He stared down at you as you worked his face dry, just observing you, and you gently kissed his lips. Tim could only weakly kiss back, still feeling the intense guilt weighing him down. You whispered to him, your lips still brushing against his own.

“I love you, Timothy Wright, and I swear to god, I’ll shove your head into your ass myself if you ever assume that I don’t love you ever again.”

Tim couldn’t help but laugh lightly, shaking his head.

“I don’t know how much farther you could get it up there.”

“If there’s a will, there’s a way.”

The two of you chuckled lightly, and Tim said after a quiet moment.

“I don’t deserve you. I don’t deserve any ounce of your forgiveness and love. How can you still hold me and kiss me despite knowing that I’ve killed someone?”

You were quiet before admitting.

“I would rather it be someone else’s blood on your hands than your blood on theirs.”

Tim swallowed thickly and he nodded slightly. You cupped his face with both hands, shaking him slightly.

“Stop worrying about it, Tim. Stop doubting yourself. What happened has happened. We can’t change that. Yes, it hurts…it hurts a lot…and I miss them every day…but we can’t focus on what was and what could have been. We have to think of ourselves and each other, especially if we are being hunted now. This isn’t just about the past anymore.”

Tim closed his eyes while taking a deep and calming breath and your thumb brushed against his lips. Tim opened his eyes to look down at you, his hands resting on your waist, and you sighed slightly. You whispered to him softly.

“Sometimes, I think I am the one who doesn’t deserve such a compassionate man like you. For nine years, you’ve given me more than what I can return to you…loved me more than any other man has…and saved me more than you realize. That heart within your chest was always so big and loving despite the trials you went through and are going through.”

You smiled lightly while tapping his chest right where his heart was, still keeping your other hand upon his damp cheek.

“You can ask yourself if you really deserve me all you want…you can try to convince yourself that I would be better off…but I think it’s me who never deserved a man like you.”

Tim felt his eyes fill with more tears, and he asked you, clutching your waist tighter.

“How can you say that? You were always the good one…you were always the one who brightened everyone’s day, who held them up high when they couldn’t do it themselves…who gave reasons on why we should keep going and living when it felt like there was none. You were the one who gave us hope, (Y/n). I did none of that.”

You were quiet for a moment before replying softly.

“You did it for me.”

God, if Tim didn’t lose his breath enough already, you surely took whatever breath was left. So easily, those words slipped from your lips, but fuck, they hit him like a freight train, his knees feeling so weak. God damn, he was so in love with you and it was why this whole situation continued to scare him and give him anxiety.

If he lost you, there was no point for anything else. There was nothing for Tim to live for if he lost you. Tim clenched his teeth as he tried to hold his sobs back, but your lips gracing his cheek only made him weak. Tim wrapped you up in his arms so tightly, sobbing into the crook of your neck.

“I love you so much. God, I’m so sorry, (Y/n). I’m sorry.”

You were quiet for a moment.

“I know, Tim. I know.”

-TIMESKIP-

After the two of you had calmed down, the both of you had headed off to bed, staying close to one another but staying comfortably silent. You both had said all the words that you had needed to, and it was only silence that spoke. Tim was asleep beside you, his head tucked into your chest, his arms holding you close to him, but you were sleepless, your mind replaying the tapes over and over within your head.

Lying on your back, your hand still running smoothly through Tim’s hair, your heart constricted. You hadn’t really cried nor mourned for your friends in a very long time, but your heart ached to cry, to let it all out…to finally find a way to heal. For a while, even you had gone to therapy to explain how you felt about the disappearance and deaths of your friends, but that relief that came with getting it off your chest never stayed long.

Now that you knew the truth, you knew that you could really begin to heal and work through the trauma…but you were afraid. Did you really deserve that? Sure, you hadn’t known anything during the time of Marble Hornets…but still, you felt guilty. They had all wanted normal and happy lives and because of your friend, they couldn’t have that. You wish you would have noticed when Alex started to change. Perhaps, if you had noticed, you could have helped. You could have saved him somehow…but would it have mattered? Would any of this have mattered if you had just been there to help him?

Your mind suddenly thought about the camera in the floorboard of Tim’s car, and you made a mental note to pick up some sort of charger for the camera once the two of you left the hotel. You needed to see what those extra 25 minutes were on that tape. What if it explained why you had been out in the woods? Rubbing your forehead, you sighed lightly. It made sense, this whole situation…but there was still some confusion within your chest.

If Tim was the masked man, then how often did he run off now? Was it practically never, or was there a moment here and there? You wondered if he still had the mask. You knew he had thrown it away, but what if he still had it. You frowned.

Was he the reason you didn’t really remember anything from the day the Operator had attacked you within your apartment? Was he the reason you had slept all day and then woke up with the wound on your head? Looking down at Tim, you watched as he slept peacefully, his hot breath fanning across your skin.

Surely, there was good reason for it, right?

You wished you could understand it much better. Rubbing your forehead again, your wiped at your eyes slightly before finally allowing yourself to relax. If there was anything more that you two needed to talk about, which you knew that there was, then you could focus on it tomorrow. For now, you would simply get some rest and try to forget about all the pain and suffering for a night.

-TIMESKIP-

When you awoke, the bedroom was still incredibly dark, making you wonder if you had only slept for a short while. However, you could tell that it was starting to brighten, and you guessed that it had to be somewhere in the early morning. The bed was incredibly warm, a hotness radiating from behind you as you lied on your side, turned away from Tim.

Tim was lying behind you, his breath warm against your skin as the two of you lied beneath the covers. His hand was on your hip, thumb rubbing gently against the skin peeking from between your panties and your tank top. You wondered when he had woken up, but paid no mind, deciding to try and get more sleep. When Tim’s hot breath filtered over your neck again, a shiver ran down your spine, and you readjusted, your hips brushing against his own for a second.

Tim was still for a moment, before you felt his head lean down slightly, his lips pressing against your skin lightly. Tingles ran down your spine from the feeling, and you hummed lightly from the feeling.

His lips were soft against the back of your neck, gently kissing while his hand gripped your hip, pulling your hips to be flush with his. His fresh stubble tickled your skin as he trailed his lips down to your shoulder, your body tensing from the feeling of his teeth nipping at your skin.

Tim’s hand came up from your hip, trailing along your skin up to your breast and firmly grasping, a shaky breath leaving your lips. Kneading for a moment, Tim’s thumb brushed against your hardening nipple, and you sighed when he gently pinched and tugged, his mouth sucking a dark mark into your neck.

His hips were grinding into yours, pressing his hard length into the curves of your ass, and his teeth sunk into the flesh of your neck again, this time harder. It had you gasping loudly, arching and pressing your ass into his erection even harder. Tim groaned lightly from the feeling, and his hand moved back down your body, slipping beneath the waistband of your panties and fingers brushing against your clit.

You let out a huff, jerking your hips a bit, and Tim pressed against you, rubbing his fingers in circles against your clit. Your leg came up to allow more access, swinging back onto Tim’s, and almost immediately, his finger sunk deep into your heat. You gave a small moan, and Tim slowly pumped in and out, his other hand wrapping around you to keep you flush against him.

“Tim…!”

You moaned softly. Tim hummed back in satisfaction, his teeth nipping at your neck. Slowly, he pressed another finger against your entrance, slowly stretching you, and you let out a shaky breath, gripping onto the skin of his arm as he began to pump into you once more, a bit rougher with his ministrations.  

You were bucking slightly, your hips hitting into his own and making Tim grunt out. He thrust against your ass, repeatedly pressing his hardness into you, and just as he was about to pull your panties down, a knocking on the door sounded, making both of you freeze.

For a moment, you both were quiet, hoping the person at the front door would leave. However, when the knocking sounded again, a quiet call of your name coming through from your neighbor, Tim cursed loudly, pulling his fingers from your heat. You huffed at the emptiness, and Tim disappeared for the front door. You listened as Tim opened the door slightly, most likely hiding his erection from prying eyes.

“Hey.”

“Hi, sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if I could borrow a couple eggs? I don’t have anymore and I’m trying to make breakfast for my kids.”

Tim was quiet before you heard the front door close slightly, the sound of the fridge opening. You couldn’t help but chuckle softly at the situation, laying with your arm lying across your forehead on your back, still aching for Tim.

Tim came back and shook his head, and you grinned as his fist clenched with his frustration. Deciding to get up, you grabbed your clothes for the day and disappeared into the bathroom, leaving Tim to be blue-balled once again.

Can you write for Masky/Tim that has a grumpy x sunshine dynamic with the reader? Bonus points if it’s enemies to lovers. They’d literally be Branch and Poppy from Trolls 😭😭

Tim/masky x sunshine!reader !

hopefully this can be read as either mh or creepypasta, since i adore both takes on masky/tim (more so modern creepypasta takes that ive personally seen at least) so! going to split this into 2 parts so tim and masky can have their own parts since i write them a little differently from one another! i! need to watch the trolls movies, ive heard good things about them, especially the newest one....

Tims part//

honestly in a weird way you kind of rub oeff on him.. now does tim just become more... upbeat and happy? ....maybe just a teeeeeeny tiiiiiny smidge, but no where near your level. you have a positive effect on him, thats for sure, but hes still very clearly handling his own issues and hes still his usual self. though, you do sometimes catch him smiling just ever so slightly when hes watching you go on about your day or rambling about something! and i think that alone is very sweet, like hes going through so much/has gone through so much if this is post MH/MH specific, but he still finds it in himself to unwind just a tiny bit thanks to your energy. though, you do sometimes tend to be a little too kind, so sometimes he feels he needs to step in to make sure you dont get hurt or taken advantage of. its not that youre dumb, but you can sometimes see the best in people before they have the chance to show that they actually possess that good in the first place, you know? kind of envies how you just roll with things and dont let most things effect you, though there will be hell on the chance something DOES upset you... more so a solutions than comfort guy, though!

Maskys part//

very similar to tim in regards that masky likes observing you when youre being your joyous self, and you just slightly rub off on him. while tim is more grumpy and cautious, masky is more so.... well he doesnt emote a lot and the mask sure as hell doesnt help matters, as well as him not speaking... though your energy is still infectious, sometimes when hes signing to you, his signs are a little more energetic and such. but not by much. to outsiders they wouldnt be able to tell something is different, but you can... though i dont think masky does, and if he does he doesnt say anything.. while tim would offer solutions when youre upset, masky... well he also offers solutions, but in a much different way. not going to elaborate other than that his solutions tend to be very "hands on" and "straight forward" in regards to handling the issue. less of a grumpy stormcloud x sunshine dynamic and more of a collected stoic x sunshine! if that makes sense!

[pasta-in-the-pudding]

Hello! I am back again. I got a operator/slenderman plushy from Marble Hornets! The one that glows in the dark. It got me thinking, how would some of the creeps (slendy himself too) would react to seeing reader with a plush of them? More like a comfort thing that they bring around and such.

Here’s some boba and drinks drop off too, stay hydrated! ☕️🍵🥤🥛🧃🧋🚰

Summary: Marble Hornets reactions to seeing reader with a plushie of them

Genre: Fluff

Warnings: None

A/n: omg ty i love drinks my poor little mini fridge is overflowing with tea and soda! Also, happy 15th anniversary to Marble Hornets!!

Masky

When he sees you with a plush of him, his first thought is "Where did you get that???"

Then he remembers the large amount of people who know how to sew plushies in the manor

And the fact that he's kind of popular in the underworld

He's still never seen a plushie of him before, and the fact that you went out of your way to get one makes him giggle

He calls it his "mini me"

He loves seeing you walk around with it, he thinks its so cute

Every now and then, he'll just take it and look at it

For example, let's say you're sitting on a couch

He'll find you and come lay on your lap, asking if he can see his "mini me"

When you give it to him, he'll just look at the details, seeing what they got wrong and what they got right

And when you ask if he likes it, he will grunt and go "yeah, 's cute"

Sometimes he finds it annoying though

Not super annoying just a little bit

Like when you're going to sleep together, he will hop into bed with you, only to see you already cuddling with the plushie

He will sigh and gently take it from you, place it somewhere behind him on the bed, and promptly cuddle up to you

"you're being so stubborn. The real thing's right here, y'know" he grumbles with a kiss to your ear

Hoodie

He thinks it's super cute!

Immediately he makes the correlation between the plush and Coraline

He'll cheekily ask if this is your way of spying on him

The first time he sees it, he holds it up in front of him like that one scene in "The Lion King"

He gives a big grin at it, so big you can see his gums sticking out

I think he likes it more than you do

He treats it like it's your shared child lol

Whenever you kiss, he will cover the plush's eyes

Whenever you go to bed, he will prop the plush up in between the two of you on a pillow and gently cover it with a blanket

You just giggle at his antics

Another thing you like to do- just to tease him a bit- is kiss the plush on its forehead, cheeks, etc around him

He will see it and raise a brow, as if to ask "What are you doing?"

And then you will lean over and kiss him in the same places

God forbid something ever happens with you two, because then your child will be in a split house hold

Because Brian will not just abandon his child like that

His child that you bought

Bought for yourself

It's his kid too guys

Slenderman

He doesn't really care about it

When you first show him, he simply goes "Oh, what a strange little creature"

When you tell him it's supposed to be him he tilts his head and asks to see it

He holds it like a baby and pokes its face before going "Ah, I see"

He hands it back and goes about his day

Every now and then you try to use it to get something out of him

"Love, I was thinking we could go out tonight?" You ask him as you approach his desk

He doesn't even turn his face in your direction, only continues writing as he says "I'm sorry dearest, I have too much work tonight"

You pout and clutch the plush in your hands "You always have work." You grumble "I bet plush Slendy doesn't have work" You say, looking at the toy in your arms

He still doesn't react so you amp up your antics a little " Would you like to go out tonight?" you ask the toy

In your best British accent and the deepest voice you can muster, you speak for the doll "Oh yes, darling. That would be wonderful, because I just love you soooo much"

He scoffs "You're being ridiculous"

You simply turn on your heel so you aren't facing him anymore "Sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of me and my man going out"

He lets out a dry chuckle and a sigh before finally giving in "Let me lock up the house, then"

How To Find Happiness at Work

“A study from the Mayo Clinic found that physicians who spend about 20 percent of their time doing ‘work they find most meaningful are at dramatically lower risk for burnout.’ But here’s what’s fascinating: Anything beyond that 20 percent has a marginal impact, as ‘spending 50 percent of your time in the most meaningful area is associated with similar rates of burnout as 20 percent.’”

“For a full week, carry a notepad at all times. Draw a line down the center of a page and label one column ‘Love’ and the other column ‘Loathe.’ Whenever you perform a task, no matter how small, be mindful of how it makes you feel.”

“This exercise — which Mr. Goodall and his co-author, Marcus Buckingham, co-head and talent expert at the A.D.P. Research Institute, write about in their book and practice in their lives — can show you hidden clues and nuances about work. ... ‘It’s a beautifully simple way to inventory your emotional reactions to the reality of your day or week at work,’ Mr. Buckingham said. ... [T]his exercise gives you a road map about how to focus your time and energy on the things that get you excited. Rather than trying to get better at things you hate doing and know you’re not great at, reframe the issue and try to do more things that energize you and that you excel at. No one can tell you what those things are, and discovering them can be transformative.”

“How to Deal With a Jerk Without Being a Jerk” 

“At some point in your work life, you’ve probably had to interact with a jerk.”

“The natural response is to get defensive, but that only escalates the cycle of aggression. Take a classic study in which researchers recorded negotiators with different levels of skill. Average bargainers ended up in three times as many defend-attack spirals as expert negotiators. The experts escaped the heat of the moment and cooled the other person down, too. They calmly commented on their reactions to the other person’s behavior and tested their understanding of what the person was trying to convey.”

How to Deal with a “Temporary Jerk”

“Escape the heat of the moment and cool the other person down, too. Calmly comment on their reactions to the other person’s behavior and test their understanding of what the person was trying to convey.”

“Start a conversation about the conversation — to redirect the discussion away from the topic and toward some reflection on the tone of the discussion.”

How to Deal with a “Certified Jerk”

“They have a habit of rationalizing aggression. They’ve convinced themselves that they have to act that way to get the results they want.”

“Find a way to gently challenge the belief that aggression is necessary: ‘Really? It was my impression that you were smarter than that, and more creative than that — so I bet you could come up with some other ways to be just as clear without having to actually rip somebody else apart.’”

“Decrease your dependence on [the person]. If you can minimize interaction, they can’t do as much harm. The other is to increase your boss’s dependence on you. If they need you, they’re less likely to treat you like dirt.”

“If all else fails... 

Dr. Sutton has a tip for changing your attitude toward the situation: Pretend you’re a specialist in jerks, and think about how you’re ‘really lucky to see this spectacular, amazing specimen.’”

Sight (Ticci Toby x Reader)

Re-living the Past Since that day Tim been running away from home at night but always been discovered by Rosswood Park passed out with bruises and cuts on his body. But at times when he been discovered at the park had a small photo in his pocket of his missing sister. He was treated at the hospital multiple times for illness he had during the day before leaving the house once again. During, the midst of the little girl missing and having Tim running away; CPS was investigating more onto Tim's parents. At first, they looked like a normal family they have a good home, good workplace, everything looked like a normal family function but why was the one child disappeared and the other kept running away. They looked at the hospital files of the siblings their regular checkup is up to date, but the time that took them back was Tim medical files stating that he been having nausea, blacking out, nosebleeds, etc. In the bottom of every medical report, it said that Tim had been having hallucinating. One of the nurses wrote that Tim would have screamed and shouted that there was a tall, slender person outside the window and it was going to get him. Tim would have a panic attack trying to get out of the hospital room that he was in. The nurses had to use haloperidol on the Tim to calm down his hysteria; besides knowing that Tim could have another bad seizure. CPS agent was disgusted with how the medical teams would subbed a child and knowing that Tim has seizures already and knowing that the medical relaxer could be even fatal for a child that had his medical record. The agent left the hospital, but not without filling a report against the nurses and doctors that used that drug at Tim. Another week past and the agent found not one but multiple phone recordings of Tim's parents and a known stranger; stating that the missing infant would be exchanged after a kid's party. Every phone call from that caller was scheduled at the same hour every day. But one of the recording both Agent and the caller hear a voice in the background. "You're not going to take my little sister away from me" Tim shouted but not too loudly because of his little sister sleeping in his arms. Both people ignore the child. The agent got more curious and listened to the call more carefully. The agent heard in the background including the call. "Tim be silent for once" scold an older female "No! You aren't going to take my baby sister" shrieked Tim "Tim!" The older women yelled in frustration. A small child was crying. "See what you did Tim you made her cry" screamed the older female "It wasn't me that woke (y/n) up from screaming" sneered Tim Tim walked up to the female and took his little sister away from them and walked out from the area. "Where do you think you are taking her." yelled the female Tim stopped where he was "away from both of you" shouted Tim. and walked out the door with a slam. The agent looked bewildered and was disgusted at the phone called between the female and the two men. She had enough evidence to get Tim's parents and the men behind bars. The things are; it still doesn't give them clues of where did Tim took the small infant and whom he gave the infant to. Then it might be that Tim wouldn't remember since they found him semi-conscious. The agent had a phone called stating that Tim was admitted to another hospital again and was screaming that there was a tall, slender man outside his window. When the agent reached to the hospital they saw Tim being sedated once again one of the nurses told the agent how Tim was fine one minute and the next he was screaming and throwing things at the window. That they need to sedate him so he would hurt himself and other around him. The agent knew that Tim need to get some help, so they arrange Tim to a *psychiatric hospital. After months of searching and courts appearance, the little girl was never found nor the knows where about her hasn't appeared at all. Tim was in the care of a family member but he was mainly in the hospital to get treatment that he 'need it' for that time.  ____________________________________________________________ -In Court- The Jury and Judge were disgusted by the parents and the man while they were sympathetic towards Tim. The charges that the parents and the man had where Child endangerment, child trafficking and neglect of 2 children. Since Tim was a minor when the little girl disappears from his arms he wasn't charged since the court thought that he was ambushed trying to save his little sister from the deal that the parents made. The judge sent them to 16 years in prison where they can't contact Tim and if it's possible to have the little girl to appear again they as well can't have contacted with them. They lost their parental rights for both Tim and (Y/n). However, the judge also stated that if the girl appeared and if Tim was at the right age and getting help and using medication like he should he could get custody of the child if he wanted too. ___________________________________________________________ ~ 2 weeks Later~ The missing case of (Y/n) was closed since there weren't any type of leads for the investigators could take afterward. The rest of the family members had a small light visual with some of the community members joined too. Tim stayed back of everyone looking at the balloons being released into the sky. When he hears a small child giggle behind him. He looked and saw a someone caring a little girl waving at him. Tim wave back before he fell into unconscious once again.  ____________________________________________________________ Present Time~ Masky bolted up from the old couch from where was sleeping on; he, hoodie, Toby, and Sally finished a mission that it took a good while for them to finish now they need to stay in an abandoned house that they found to hide in for the mean time. Sally looked up at Masky confused. Masky walked up to the window and looked outside to see that it was dusk already they need to head back to Slender's hideout. "Sally where the other?" asked Masky "Toby is in the kitchen eating waffles that he got the earlier today and Hoodie outside" answered Sally while playing with her bear. "Alright; tell Rogers that we are about to head back to Slender's," said Masky as he walked outside to see Hoodie. Hoodie hear the door open and closing behind him he knew it was Masky "So you decided to wake up huh," said Hoodie in his voice changer Masky tsk. "Will we have to rest up before we head back since the freaking police is looking for us" "You mean Rogers right" replied Hoodie Masky didn't answer, he kept looking at the back yard. "You know Splendor nor Trender wouldn't let anything bad happen to her right?" questioned Hoodie Masky still didn't answer. "Tim! I know you worried about her but you know that she never gets hurt while being in the care of those two; especially if something happens to her, the boss will have their heads" Hoodie paused for a moment. "I know you been having those dreams since we did those videos to get Alex away from the boss's agenda. She is not going away; nothing bad is going to happen to her." "I know but it's still bother me. It's a big brother thing you know" exhale Masky Hoodie nodded "We need to head back soon. Before I slept; there was word that the police are considering looking at abandon house to look for us." remember Masky "Yeah, I'll check if Rogers didn't leave any hand-prints in the house" Hoodie said as he when back into the house. Masky just stayed outside looking at the yard taking in a deep breath trying to get the nagging feeling away from him.      _________________________________________________ Quick Author Note *If you seen Marble Hornet and Night Mind explaining the Marble Hornet and the Slenderverse you know what i meant by the hospital.  ** I wanted to describe Masky voice but for me its kind a hard since I'm always hearing David Near voice acting of Masky voice instead of Tim Sutton himself (idk why i cant describe voices at the moment. I'm kind a sleep-deprived at the moment)
