Twenty-odd years ago, a friend of mine died of a heart attack at a social gathering. He was conscious until the emergency medics arrived and then he crashed. All we could do was summon help and give him aspirin and keep him comfortable during the agonizing wait for help, and then watch helplessly for the even longer and more agonizing period that the EMTs kept trying to revive him as they kept starting and stopping the gurney on the way to the ambulance, and then pull him in and pull him out of the ambulance several times as they gained and lost his heartbeat.
I was beyond traumatized. We all were. My friend made sounds that humans shouldn't make. The EMT's stabbed needles in him right in front of us where needles shouldn't go. And our friend was dead. But that was 20 years ago.
I got over it, eventually. I remember my friend and that he died and that I was there, but only in the abstract sense. I had completely forgotten the visceral ordeal of witnessing his death. Then last night, my friend's started texting about the American football player who collapsed on the field, and it all came flooding back. I was not watching the game; I have not watched any video. And it's like I am back in my friend's living room, terrified and watching him die. I was up all night having panic attacks and nightmares for the little bit that I was asleep. I am still rattled today.
I have a large family and a large social circle. In the last 20 years I can't even count the number of relatives, friends, and acquaintances who have died, some of heart attacks. I was sad, and I missed them, but I never mentally connected any of it to the death of my friend. I have read and watched the endless parade of horrors that is the daily news cycle and didn't feel any trauma. I have had surgery, and trips to the emergency room, and many medical procedures and never thought about it.
And now, 20 years later, it's like it happened yesterday. I can see his face and remember exactly what he was wearing and hear him dying and I don't understand why.

"Its dangerous eye and eyewall could come ashore anywhere from Cedar Key at the north to Naples at the south – including possibly in the Tampa or Ft. Myers areas.
It’s only been 10 days since Helene scoured Florida’s Gulf Coast with storm surge and slammed into the Big Bend as a Category 4. Now, officials are asking residents – still in recovery mode – to evacuate or prepare for another life-threatening storm."

GOAL IS MET!!!
Thank you all for the support <33 the rest of the original post is under the cut
Greetings, friends. This isn't for me, it's for my friend @tyladoesthings who I met at my local tech school in-person. We both really wish this wasn't necessary, but things have gotten- difficult.
In short, she has been saving and raising money to move out of her family's house, getting to a safe space in a different state after she had a near un-closeting scare back in April. Yesterday, however, she got into a car accident. She's okay physically, but all of those savings are going towards repairs. Her original plan was to get out of there in about 2 weeks, but now that plan is in jeopardy.
Here is a doc of a letter going into more detail about her situation [embedded link, not updated w/ recent info] and you can help support her [in any small way, anything is super helpful] down here:
It also gives more recent info on the state of things. If you can't help out, we'd be super grateful if this was spread around by reblogging. I'm worried for the safety of my friend, especially with her asking me to make this post here because it feels safer for her than on her own blog. She's too kind of a soul to have all of this thrown at her... Please help bring my friend to safety.
In addition, I am doing doodle requests for any contributions over $10
just send a screenshot of the proof to my inbox and I'll cross-check that w/ my friend Tyla [please keep requests SFW]

Hiiii you're the first blog I check every morning and I absolutely LOVE everything you write!!
How about Alastor/Angel Dust/Husker finding the reader after attempting suicide? (If you don't want to thats fine, it can be super triggering, I just want comforttt)
I went aw and then went oh..
Lol but yes, I can do this.
Attempts
Tumblr media
Warning! ⚠
⚠ mentions of attempted suicide-drowning/overdose/cutting, descriptive injuries, blood, mental illness mentioned ⚠
Human AU for this one:
Alastor, Angel Dust, Husk
Tumblr media
Alastor🎙
He had noticed you becoming distant.
For what reason?
That's just the thing. He didn't know.
It did concern him though and he would check up on you from time to time.
But you would just smile and say you were fine. That you just had a hard time falling asleep last night.
There was something that still had him on edge. Something was wrong but you didn't tell him.
He was your friend, your best friend in fact! You could tell him anything...
Right?
Alastor had come to visit, bringing along some of his cooking to help cheer you up.
Time's were getting rough with the economy crashing. And you, his dear friend, lived alone with no immediate family around. It was just you and that cat that would occasionally come by for food.
He stood at the door of your apartment and knocked, waiting for you to open it and greet him.
As he waited, he noticed the claw marks at the bottom of your door, wondering if the stray cat had done it.
How odd.. He thought. They would have opened the door before the little creature could dare scratch up their door.
He knocked again.
But the longer he waited was making him slightly nervous. Tapping his foot until he could no longer stand still, he got the spare key you gave him and opened the door.
Calling out your name, he walked into your apartment and placed the place of food down on the kitchen counter. After closing the door behind him, he walked into the living room.
"Are you home?", he asked, looking around the room, spotting your coat and shoes still out.
They haven't left. Maybe they are asleep?
Something had formed at the pit of his stomach, the feeling of fear and worry cloaking his thoughts. He walked into their room after feeling it grow stronger.
Looking around, he saw that your bed was made and that everything was neat and tidy.
Then he noticed the paper on your dresser.
Walking over, he picked it up and started to read. It was odd, as it addressed whoever happened to pick it up, but then he noticed what it meant.
No no no no no-!
His hands shook and he flinched when hearing a loud splash of water.
Dropping the paper, Alastor ran to the bathroom, barging in. There he saw you in the filled bath tub, soaking wet with clothes and shoes on, gasping for air.
He said your name and rushed over, pulling you out of the tub.
"Darling, talk to me!", he said, grabbing a towel to wrap around your shaking form. "What-"
"I couldn't- I couldn't do it! I couldn't..", they sobbed, turning their head away from him as they sunk down onto the tiled floor. "Why can't I just do it!?"
Not knowing what else to do, he sat down on the floor and hugged them.
"Shh sh, its alright.", he whispered, rocking them back and forth.
They clung onto the back of his shirt, still shaking from their cries.
"Its going to be alright."
Angel Dust🕸
You were his buddy, his pal.
Someone he could tell everything to without having to worry about you running to the cops.
You were the friend that was always by his side, no matter how many times he fucked up.
You would encourage him, praise him, and just be like sunshine. It reminded him of his sister Molly.
He didn't notice when your smiles started to become a mask.
He didn't notice when you started taking drugs from his stash.
Angel had left to pick up some drinks for the both of you. The day was alright and you had asked to hang out for a while.
It was a little weird when you had started to point out every detail, but he had just brushed it off as you being observant.
Maybe it was one of those days when you would just stare at the sky.
When he got back, he couldn't find you in the room.
Weird. He thought and shrugged before sitting down on the couch to wait for you.
Opening up his drink, he went to take a sip before something caught his eye.
It was the vent that hid his secret stash.
Why is that open? No one could have known it was there but you-
His eyes widened and he shot up from the couch and ran around the place yelling out your name.
"Com' on! This isn't funny!", he yelled, opening every door that he came across. "You've nevah had drugs! You don't know how much you can handle!"
He found you on the floor, packs ripped open around you.
"No..", Angel said quietly before repeating it as he rushed over to your side. "Snap out of it!", he yelled out in a panic and shook you by the shoulders.
You were blinking really slow, pupils dilated and shaking.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck!", he said, picking you up and placing you on a nearby couch. "Stay awake! I'm gonna call a hospital, ok!?"
"Sorry Angel.", you mumbled and lifted your hand to hold his. "I just wanted the pain to go away. I just wanted to sleep."
"Stay awake. I'll come back in a bit ok? Or let me find a phone with a long enough cord.", he said before running out of the room.
He held back from crying when speaking to the nurse on the phone. Doing his best to explain what was going on.
After the call, he went back to hold your hand until the ambulance came to pick you up.
He had gotten an earful for being late for a job but he didn't care about that. All he could think of was you, hoping you were alright as he worked on autopilot to get the job done.
Damn it. He thought as he paced back and forth. I should have paid more attention to them.
Angel immediately went to visit you after finishing up, rushing down the hallways to get to your hospital room with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
He slammed the door open and found you awake, looking him up and down.
"What the fuck were ya thinking!?", he said as he made his way over to your side. "Best friends don't try to kill themselves before the other one! Best friends die tagethah!"
"I-"
"These are for you.", he said and placed the flowers on the nightstand nearby before sighing. "Why didn't you talk to me?"
Pulling up a chair next to your bed, he sat on it. Taking off his hat to brush his hair back to try and calm himself down.
"You know you can tell me anything, right?", he said looking at you. "I'm here for you, like you are for me. So talk to me."
Husk🃏
Honestly, he didn't know what to think of you at first.
You were just another person on the other side of the bar. Ordering a drink and sitting there for hours.
He knew a sad face, as it was quite common, but yours seemed permanent.
After a while, you became friends.
You weren't annoying and he appreciated your company. Sometimes when it was a slow night, he would show you card tricks.
He didn't know how depressed you actually were.
It had been a long night.
Husk had to serve some annoying assholes but other than that group it was tolerable.
What was odd was that you didn't show up.
They probably have an actual life to get back to. He thought as he cleaned up the bar.
After he locked up, he went out through the alleyway in the back. But as soon as he walked out he saw you leaning against the brick wall covered in blood.
"Oh shit!", he yelled out in shock before rushing to check you over.
He found your wrists slit, still gushing out some blood. Quickly, he ripped the bottom part of his undershirt and tied them around your wrists to try and slow the blood.
"Fucking hell!", he hissed and ran over to the pay phone across the street.
After putting in the coins, he called the nearest hospital and rushed out what was going on.
"I found them a few minutes ago! They are unconscious, but their wrists are still bleeding! I don't fucking know! Just send someone over!"
He got fed up with the person on the phone and slammed the pay phone back to its place. The change clunk down into the machine and he ran out of the booth to take you to the hospital himself.
"Don't you fucking die on me!"
After you were taken by the doctors, Husk sat on one of the chairs in the waiting room, bouncing his leg.
He hasn't beem that worried about someone since-
It's just been a long time.
It wasn't until a few hours later that you woke up. The doctors let him know that he could see you now, and he made his way over to your room.
As soon as he entered, he pointed at you with the grumpiest frown you've ever seen.
"Don't you ever do that shit again."
All you did was smile.
"Thanks Husk."
Then he did something that surprised you.
He hugged you and cried.
"You fucking dumbass.", he grumbled. "Do you know how shitty my night was? Then I find you passed out, covered in blood in the fucking dark."
"I'm sorry Husk.", you said, leaning your head on his shoulder. "I had a shitty night too. I wasn't thinking right."
Both of you stayed like that for a while.
Something that both of you never talked about was your home life. After this stunt, Husk would make sure to check in on you more.
"You owe me booze."
You laughed and agreed.
Tumblr media
This was hard. Sorry for it being so late, but I hope you are doing better now.
~Seline, the person.
ML's for Alastor, Angel Dust, Husk

Emergency Glass
Whumptober 7: Only for Emergencies, Prompt Idea
Lester Sinclair x Vampire!reader
Tw: starved reader, blood mention, hints that the reader was tortured
Prompt Idea: In need of Blood
Tumblr media
When he found you, you were barely hanging on to life. Your eyes were glazed and lost in the murky waters, and your hair was tangled like broken vines from a willow. Your shirt was torn and shred from some animal he didn’t know; he’s never seen claws that big before. Whatever took you out and left you for dead wasn’t in a hurry; it took its time with you as if you were a plaything to its own muse.
Lester was gentle as he scooped your body in his arms and cradled you like a child. You were too light in his hold, and he could see the outline of your bones and veins under your skin and how they connected like a spider’s web. Your cold form shivered as his warmth kept you awake and relaxed. Your eyes fluttered then rolled as he removed you from the hellish waters and twisted tree limbs. You struggled a breath, and he hushes you like a mother towards a frighten child. In a way, you were a frighten child after the past few days in a hunter’s den. You were torn apart then stitched back together in an unforgivable fashion. You felt violated and stripped of what little you had left of yourself, of the line that separates you from monsters. Now, a stranger, kind and true, was carrying you out of the swamp and placing you inside his track with carefulness.
With the rumble of his truck, it roared to life, and he drove down the rough, beaten road to poorly done gravel road. The bitter smell of decay and dried blood was enough to make your mouth water, but you bit your tongue and clenched your jaw. You’re hearing wasn’t the best, but you knew the stranger was speaking to you. The voice was too muffled and quiet due to your ears ringing and buzzing like a light. Hunger was starting to set in, and it was burning a hole in your chest. You don’t attack humans; only animals. But the driver...you could smell his blood from under his skin and it flowed like a clear river. It was enough to make your stomach rumble and your fangs to grow. You felt your eyes change colors to a deep red. Even in his eyes, you saw your reflection and how it made him shiver once he realized who is in his truck.
Lester’s heard stories about what lurks in Louisiana shadows. He’s heard about the string of attacks in the cities and how there seemed to be a hive somewhere. Finding you out in the middle of the swamp after he was done setting up traps for gators should’ve rung alarm bells. But the claw marks on your body and the scratches that marked your body, making you look like a map of tortured and torn souls, should’ve made him run off for his shot gun in the back of his truck, but it only would’ve made things difficult. His hands aren’t as clean as Bo’s or Vincent’s, but it wasn’t as stained or darken by rich blood. It wasn’t as messy as the twins and their twisted artwork.
He saw you as a hurt deer, something that can be nursed back to health and let go into the wild after tending to your needs. He was Whatever called him to stay and help you...whatever possessed him to look after you, he’ll be as helpful as he could be. Besides, it’s his southern hospitality kicking in along with his nature to give a hand. He was always too kind, and it never scared him until the points of your fangs glowed in the starlight.
Lester swallowed the rock in his throat, his Adams apple bobbing like a toy boat down a rocky stream. The smell of his blood was intoxicating, and it drowned you in your own thoughts. If you had a taste, just a nibble, what harm would that do? He may be thin, but he had enough meat on his bones and blood in his system to serve you well and good. Only for emergencies, you bite humans. Only for emergencies, you feed off their blood and hang on their necks like a vise. The worry gleam in his eyes didn’t call you away or scare you; he knew what you needed.
The truck began to slow down until it stopped. He threw the car in park and turned off the engine, killing it with ease. He stayed in the driver seat as if he was reflecting what his next move would be. You watched as he closed his eyes and let out a soft breath.
“I’ll help you,” he said after a while. “I’ll help you, vampire.” His puppy brown and blue eyes looked down at you. “At least lemme getcha in the house before ya bite me, yeah?” When he saw you nod slowly, he unbuckles both himself then you and hops out of the truck. It wasn’t long until he was holding you once more in his arms. “You’ll be a’right, little vampire.” Why did the words make you blush? Why was the nickname repeating in your head over and over? “Les’ll make sure you’re alive after dis.”
Going into his house and heading to his little guest room by the back door wasn’t a long walk. From what you gathered from his little walk, his home wasn’t that big, but it wasn’t too small.
“Oh, I’m Lester, by the way,” he introduced himself as he laid you down. The mattress and cold sheets under your touch was soft like a moss bed, and he watched as your tensed body unfold like a blooming flower. “There you go,” he praises in a hushed voice. “I’ll get a rag; don’t know how long you were out there and—”
His voice trailed and stopped as soon as your pearly white fangs showed through your lips, plumped and bruised. Lester closes his mouth and swallows a thick, awed gasp. To him, you looked just as right as rain. A part of him hopes you drain every drop of him and turn him into a husk of a person. The way the moonlight laid over you like a blanket made you look like royalty. “Right, you need blood, little vampire.”
Lester lowered himself on the bed and awkwardly shifted you to be on top of him. He rubbed your back and turned his head to expose his neck until. You could practically feel it in your mouth even though you haven’t bitten down. You could taste it and feel it flow over down your throat ever-so-smooth and slick. His comforting warmth and slow circles on your back only made you feel more relaxed.
He almost felt like home.
Only for emergencies, you can break down and shatter the glass to that safety case. Only for emergencies, you can feed off humans and drink deeply in rich and sweet blood. Only for emergencies...just until your hunger is gone.
