#welp there you have their shit :3c

[psychiatricwarfare]

Hello Hello I'm your friendly neighbourhood ghost and I am a collector of spooky tales, folklore, Urban legends, cryptids and spooky experiences and I was wondering if y'all want to share y'all favorite one??

Thank you and I hope y'all are having a blast

hello!! we absolutely would love to share!! we love a good spooky/strange story, and altho you only asked for one, we can't choose one favourite soo heres a few under the cut.. :3c

first we'll give ya a spooky one! it takes place shortly after i was born, barely talking yet, our childhood room had a closet that was connected to the attic. apparently only my dad went into the attic cus my mom & sister were too scared and we were an infant. but whenever my dad went into the attic, the windows would be open and he'd have to close them. then he'd go yell at our mom asking why she kept opening the windows, but she didnt. cus she was scared of the attic. so one day they were arguing about this in front of me & my dad said smth like "well then who's opening the windows, huh?".

& apparently (according to our parents) we point up at the ceiling to the attic and said "man". so ofc our parents were like huh?? so we did it again & ofc my parents were like 'oh shit we're haunted'. but the ghost wasnt actually like.. doing anything other than opening the windows so my dad just kept closing them and everyone kinda left him (the ghost man) alone.

then, out of nowhere, when we were like 3 years old ish, we would just start screaming and crying in the middle of the night. full-on hysterics about "the man in the attic". so our grandma flew in to come bless the house with sage (we assume) and free the spirit peacefully and respectfully. the only thing we actually remember from this whole story is her walking around the attic burning something and repeating stuff. we're told she also made my dad do it with her, not sure why she chose him tho tbh. anyways everythings been fine after that and ever since then whenever smth weird happened in the house we'd be like "welp, i guess the man's back"

second story isnt super spooky but it is weird. this one starts when we were maybe 4 or 5? we were at a paranormal sites tour on vacation, i know how this sounds but stick with us here, the tour guide said to take 2 pictures because you might not get the ghost in the first picture, but you might get it in the second. now im prettyy sure this is actually something to do with the flash and lens flares but, my mom, sister & i still did it and sure enough my sister got the pictures with & without a little orb! how fun! we save the pictures to a flash drive or something to look at for years to come.

years pass and we're all looking at the pictures (as we'd done many times before) and we get to the pictures from that tour and were like 'oh we should show dad' so my sister calls my dad in so he can see the two pictures, one with the orb and one without it. except this time when we're looking at them, neither one has an orb. and we sit there dumbstruck because we'd looked at them so many times and there was always an orb in the second picture. we still dunno how it just disappeared.. our dad was just sitting there like ".... 😑😐🤨 what are you showing me?" as the rest of us went through the 5 stages of grief trying to accept that the one time we thought to show him our ghostie picture, it stops existing :(

last one's gonna be our fav cryptid!! theyre called the fresno nightcrawlers!!!! theyre super cute little dudes that were originally sighted in fresno, california (as per their name) but they usually show up in the US :3 they also showed up once in poland they usually appear in twos, one bigger one and one smaller one, but not always. they're very cute lil guys just look at them

theyre grey/white creatures with long legs with no arms or torsos, if you look closely, their knee bends where a human shin would be, so that rules out a person in a costume because their legs are too long with far too low knees to be a human. theyre known to be small (4'11/1.5m), but one sighting claims it was 7ft/2m~. perhaps the smaller ones seen are children?? from the footage we've seen, the smaller ones never seem to be sighted without a taller one. however, the taller ones have been sighted alone.

look at how cute this lil guy is!! this is from the first ever sighting of them, definitely check out the video we linked to watch it walk around

the person who posted it also embossed the video to prove there are no wires or anything, and in the screenshot above you can kinda see the lil guy and eyes potentially?? theyre kinda hard to see so we raised the contrast n such

some people think theyre puppets with strings and have tried to recreate them, which does seem to be incredibly difficult. the wiki (linked above) has the documentary where somebody tries to debunk them along with all the sightings & hoaxes. theyre funky lil dudes and since it harms nobody and affects nothing, we choose to believe theyre real :3

[ayyy-imma-ninja]

Welp. U have singl handedly given me Fariy au brain rot. Complete with a fairy oc & now an entire short to go with it. & im too much of a chicken shit to post it with out asking permission first sence it's a fan fick with ur fariy boys. qwq

mwehehehe >:3c

feel free to share stuff you make for it! Whether it's fanart or an OC, drawings or written works, I'd love to see! Credit for the AU is all I ask for >w<

[vacantgodling]

oh we're putting your ocs in situations? EXCELLENT. i love them. let's do this

12 for hya (sorry hya ily) and then also 24 for piper! mayhaps :3c

HEWWOOOOO THANK YOU <3

12. Your character has to spend a whole day out in nature. What kind of terrain do they choose to go to, and what do they get up to?

PFFF RIP he really hates being out in... untamed nature. i say this because he doesn't inherently dislike nature, he just prefers if its in a well maintained garden or something like that not just like. out in the woods.

BUT assuming this question pertains to being out in the woods--so in that case, hya is finding somewhere relatively relaxed (ie: a clearing, by a brook/stream/river) and he's parking it. just absolutely doing fuck all. surprising everyone, he may either (1) sunbathe -- if he's by the water or (2) work out. i think he has worked out in secret by going into secluded sections in nature to do so, and while he doesn't Like working out and he doesn't Like being in the woods, it is something to do and so i can see him doing that until he was allowed to leave. but don't tell anyone i told u he works out even tho its obvious that he does LMAO. he likes to appear mysterious and effortless even though its clear he puts in effort. no one just knows when. or how. lmao.

24. Your character has been challenged to a duel by a skilled fighter. What incentive would convince them to accept? How would they prepare for the fight? Do you think they would win? (bonus: which other character do you think the challenger could be?)

welp it wouldn't be hard to convince her because piper NEVER turns down a fight. ever. every fight anyone ever challenges her to, she is absolutely doing it. its not really a 'moral code' or anything, she just likes fighting generally and sees every fight as a way to learn more and improve herself. she wouldn't really prepare for a fight (it is Slight cockiness, but also just because she's someone who just kinda. does stuff on the fly and the best way for her to learn since she's not really a formal per se training girly is to just let whatever happens happen and she'll adapt as shit comes).

whether or not pipes would win is based on an number of factors; she actually has a pretty healthy win lose streak. if its any person who relies more on tactics than brute strength its kind of a toss up because pipes is ABSOLUTELY a "keep beating them until they're a pulp" kind of fighter. so if you're crafty you can MAYBE get her to play into your hand a bit, but if you're just someone who needs time to conjure spells or something then it's the definition of "i won the wizard fight without knowing magic bc i just punched the guy." however if you're quick with magic or just fast in general, it might pose a problem for her. this being bc she wields an axe and tends to do wide, broad, heavy hitting attacks. which: not great if you get hit. but if you can dodge her attacks then you'll probably be able to best her. she isn't slow by any means, she can definitely lead people on by overextending to give them a false sense of security before having her own little "phase 2" of a battle to throw her opponent way off; but that kind of strategy is only something she learned from sparring with saith and keevan. so tl;dr, it can be a fair if challenging fight and tbh whatever experience someone has will determine if they win or lose. pipes is usually a good sport about it, unless you piss her off.

the people piper spars with the most are the aforementioned, keevan and saith; and this is because after she fails her guild exam the first time, she meets the two of them and they literally train her in a LOT of shit for like a year to help her pass the exam the second time (piper was an orphan and literally has no formal training in fucking ANYTHING). usually saith bc he is also keevan's protege, so saith was more the "practice dummy" for keevan's teachings. however, san and piper also fight (not spar. they are always fighting) a lot. and because they have such different fighting styles their battles get veryyyy uhhhhh inchresting lmao.

[a-library-of-old]

First off I LOVE UR HCS!!! Everytime you post I immediately drop everything to read it tehe:3c

How do you think jack would react to a s/o on the ace spectrum???[totally not projecting idk wat ur talking about]

AHAHAHHA thank you so much!!!! That's so- *hands are flapping and my legs are kicking*

Also whaaaat projection here on this blog???? Could never dream of such a thing!

This is another where your gonna have to explain shit to him first and t h e n it clicks and you just see the gears turn in his head thinking about the past

Overall I think he'll be pretty chill about it but ask questions to make sure he fully knows your limits and such after you mention it's a spectrum

If your completely sex repulsed he gets it, you like to do it sometimes for him and other times it's just to icky, he gets it. You wanna do it for him? Well expect a thank you at that!

Really he's ready to adjust with what makes you feel best and find ways to always communicate that

From there though? It's like nothings changed really, he treats you the same just in a less sexual way if you've said that's what makes ya happiest

If someone else tries to say anything about this though? Suggest that he can't be pleased then or that he should go somewhere else or anything else like that? Lord help them

If he's in a really good mood and you didn't hear him/tell him about it then the person is at worse gonna loose their job. If you told him and he was in a bad mood though? Welp they just went missing I'm afraid no clue really

He does make an effort to not sexualize you as much after this as well (even if you just said you weren't okay with that honestly but ya know) cause he wants to make it very apperant that he sees your boundaries and won't cross em unless you tell him flat out you like the outfits or whatever

Really over all he's very understanding once he knows, plus I hc he's some form if demi so from the start mans at least always kinda gets it

[sharkface-daydreams]

Ficwip's Word game wednesday: Impress

found one snip from a Stassney-lives au right in the opening paragraphs lol and a very much unfinished Sharcus xmas schmoop I was writing for myself :3c

The two mercenaries paused the conversation at a low groan from the corner. One of the 'corpses' was waking up with an enormous headache.

Felix huffed an incredulous laugh. "Holy shit, he survived that?" He sounded gleefully impressed. 

Stasney blinked in the light as Felix leaned over him. His drowsy face broke into an elated smile.

"Hey, Felix," he croaked, "Mornin' already?"

Felix snorted. He knelt down and ran his gauntleted fingers through Stasney's disheveled hair. The guard melted into the touch, blinking heavily. "It's not morning, Stas. You got knocked out, buddy. Actually it's kind of impressive you survived that because the crack when you hit the wall was just…. woof." Felix shook his head dramatically and laughed. "It shoulda snapped your spine."

Stasney was beginning to look alarmed. "Oh, damn." Locus scoffed and motioned to Felix.

"Stop messing around. We have important things to attend to, Felix," he growled. "Get rid of him."

"Well just hold your horses, Locus," Felix said suddenly, standing and turning around. "Maybe we could use him. He's obviously capable of taking a hit." He angled his helmet meaningfully at Locus. "And we could always use more bodies."

"Bodies… fer what?" 

Locus' helmet snapped to him and Stasney could actually feel the distasteful glare through the opposite visor like radiation heat. "He's going to have a concussion from the impact and will likely be more of a liability than a boon."

"So we'll let the medics look at him," Felix said nastily, starting to lose his temper. "We already lost a lot of men from the purge."

"You're ridiculous." Locus' sigh was a blizzard of static through his helmet. "Do what you want," he growled, "but if he gives us any trouble, I'm killing him."

Stasney's eyes were wide, but Felix turned back to him, seeming smug. "Welp, let's get you down to med bay, huh? Locus, I trust you can handle sorting out the rest of… that?" He gestured vaguely at Aiden as he steered Stasney out the door.

---

"Well, I'm impressed, Fishstick. I thought for sure this project was a bust." Terrence stares at him incredulously and gestures at the workshop around them. "Yeah, yeah, I know you build shit but glass breaks into a million fucking pieces. I figured if it happened at all it'd be the world's most tedious jigsaw puzzle."

"Well, that's not wrong," Terrence said quietly, glancing at the half-assembled ornament on the bench. "But it's worth doing. It means a lot to Sam."

Isaac gave him a patronizing face. "You saps really got it bad for each other, huh?"

"Jealousy's a bad look, Gates."

Isaac laughed. "Trust me, it's not jealousy. More like pity."

"Get the fuck out of my shop," Terrence grumped.

"Honestly, you old curmudgeons deserve each other," Isaac laughed, his eyes catching on a flower-shaped object lying on another table. It appeared to be made out of repurposed shell casings.

"Don't touch it."

"I wasn't going to," Isaac said, rolling his eyes. "I'm just looking."

"... fine."

"Sam would get a kick out of this."

"Good. I'm making it for him."

[the-crow-binary]

Multiple ships >:3c

Leon/Sara

Walter/Joachim

Hector/Rosaly

(Isaac/BB)

Nice choices... >:3 Welp. Let's start with the OG tragic straight couple (well I guess Mathias x Elisabetha was the OG because they're older and Elisabetha died before Sara but whatever, Sara at least had more than one picture to serve as screentime ;c) <3

Was very closed to check "i can make it SO fucked up <3" but tbh i like them the way they are <3 All soft and nice and """"""clean"""""" <3 Sara is underrated smh. She did not gave up her soul to complete the whip that will eventually save humans over and over again just to get ignored like that >:l (i also like the tragic idea that the family eventually forgot about her <3 Something about Leon keeping the fact he put his ex betrothed in his whip a family secret so the other people wouldn't... you know... do what they did anyway and shit on them lmao. And eventually, it just faded away) But other than just Sara, the couple they formed with Leon was pretty cute <3 At least we can easily imagine it was. Because we know Leon and we saw enough of Sara to know her too, sefless and sweet. Not that her 3D facial expressions are helping in showing that...

Next is THE OG WORSTIES !!

They're both fucking Mathias. And maybe Leon too. And no i take no criticism. The game might not have given us much about their backstory together. But what we do know is enough to understand that THEY FUCKED. THEY SO FUCKED AND THEY WERE SO TOXIC ABOUT IT. Walter manipulating Joachim <3 Joachim attempting to murder him <3 Joachim being TURNED INTO A SLAVE BY WALTER. AAAAAAAA I WISH WE HAD SEEN MORE OF THEM TOGETHER AND MORE OF JOACHIM ALONE. Also love the idea of "not dating but married nonetheless" dynamic with them... ;3 (do not do this at home kids) Didn't check "compatible brand of freaks" because i couldn't decide if they were compatible or not. I guess yes in a way, but also no ? Consider it is both.

So... Hector/Rosaly, huh...

They live in my heart rent free <3 ROSALY THANKING HECTOR FOR BEING BORN IS MAKING MY HEART MELT I'M A SCREAMING YES PLEASE GIVE MORE LOVE TO THIS MAN aaaaand then she died. FUCKING DAMNIT ISAAC. Can't believe i didn't check the "oh the devotion" box- my mistake. Consider it checked. Because Hector is SO DEVOTED TO HER IT'S BRINGING ME TO TEARS also this is your fault. I never used to care so much about any of them >:( but then you arrived and BOOM. ANGST. ANGST AND FEELS EVERYWHERE. FUCK YOU BEEVEAN. Mwah <3

And now the last AND MOST IMPORTANT ONE

FUCKING. THEM !!! <3 <3 <3 My BB and his twisted fucked up gay mentor <3 (I just realised "inherent eroticim of attempted murder" actually worked for them since Isaac did wanted to kill BB when they met. And then I guess Isaac wasn't exactly gentle when training BB... homoeroticism. Homoeroticism everywhere.) Are they fated ennemies though ?? Benedict IS a Belmont after all. And Isaac IS a general of Dracula. And a simp of his. But he was also supposed to be dead ages ago and the Belmont clan's thing is more about killing Drac than killing his servants (it's just a secondary thing lmao). Idk i let y'all decide. The ending stays the same anyway: they fock <3 They have no one but each other and they fock <3 I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE AT THAT POINT. BUT THEY ARE. AND THAT IS ENOUGH FOR ME.

[partyinthemysterymachine]

i don't have a high quality attention span atm so I'm browsing a little bit but i lOVE that your AUs have multiple iterations. Like man I FEEL that in my soul. Im interested in all your concepts but if I gotta zero in rn I'm looking to some Apartment AU stuff. Henry Stuff (always wanna hear about henry stuff). James Stuff, James/Henry Stuff, uhm. Travis my dude. if you want?

LOL THANK U :3c!!! i love having like. 10+ different iterations of the same AU i can do So Much Damage it's Fantastic. (ask me about twitch streamer Frank Sunderland sometime, i've been blathering about it to a few other people lately but that one absolutely has one of the finer apartments in my head LOL)

uhhhHHH WELL. as far as Henry goes, here's some HC i got for him that goes along with Heya, Neighbor!:

green-eyed boy; but with a catch! one his eyes is going foggy (ha ha. no i'm serious, he's going blind) and it's kind of been coming on within the past couple years. he's seen a few doctors about it (or, partially) and the consensus is that it's not An Issue™️, just seems like you got a bad run of genetics there, Henry. :\

spoiler alert: It's Not About The Genetics, Henry

;)

late 20s - early thirties. tho i can also pin him about 35 in terms of age.

5'11"ish. maybe 6'2" on a good day if i feel like it for him LOL

likely trilingual: English/Spanish/Mandarin. (still working on the Mandarin tho, he's having a bit of difficulty with it. wouldn't call him fluent tho; rather, Trying So Very Hard/struggling, LOL)

prefers popping popcorn in a wok

actually goes to get pedicures because it feels nice. eileen sometimes joins him but it's kind of a "me-time" thing for Henry.

secretly wishes Douglas would ask him to take spy pictures for him. he thinks that would be so fucking cool and he would be so fucking good at it (true). but also the concept scares the bejeezus out of him because he is Not some kind of photographer James Bond. it's Complicated, ok. but douglas please ask him to take spy photos He Wants To Be Asked So Bad,

he is not from Maine. he's from Kansas. (he knows ur thinking it. don't do it tho. don't u dare do it.)

uhhhh NOT SURE WHAT ELSE FOR HENRY RN so hhghghghh who else we got...........

===

WELP... TRAVIS.

travis, travis, travis.. travis... travis.

now i got infected with a REAL TREAT of a hc for Travis awhile back that i'll be implementing just about everywhere LOL, and the basics of that is that Travis Grady is Silent Hill's trucker.

and that's all you get about THAT, LOL

(ok ok.. i guess i WILL say this: if u have to make a comparison between what Travis's Silent Hill Trucking Jobs entail vs what it means to be a conduit (Hashtag GOOMT!James Problems), what Travis is/does (hehe) is a tier above conduit. so do with that what you will ;) )

just like in HN! i largely hc Travis to be from Alabama, and kind of a short dude (5'8") and just a ray of goddamn fucking sunshine on two legs. i think he's just the sweetest little shit around and god bless him for that.

sure wonder about that guy tho. wonder what his deal is........

.. :)

===

can't say i have anything right now for Henry/James; however, i DO have an AU idea that James actually does become an essence/mechanic of the town after he parks his car in the lake; as in, he's no longer physical, doesn't quite exist, and is more of a spiritual essence - or residuals of one.

so in that way, it isn't like GOOMT. James's car is still in the lake, but he does not manifest as a person. for lack of better phrasing, he was sort of "absorbed" by Toluca Lake (i mean. that's technically actually true, LOL) and Toluca shared her powers and misery and whatever else with him.

well after the events of sh2, the town was weakened and i think that over time, James was able to gradually build up power from Toluca and, like.. leech off of Toluca as well as Silent Hill, and semi-overthrow the town to "claim" South Vale as his. like, firmly his. as in he's able to manifest Pyramid Head himself, and even "puppet" the other monsters that are there and on very, VERY few occasions, possess them if need be.

(tho possessing Pyramid Head is the "easiest" for him to do, ofc, tho because he can't do this enough to get any real practice in or understand it beyond the duct-tape basics, he has no idea what he could actually accomplish with this or what necessities it would offer; it does tho take a LOT out of him so this is why he doesn't tinker with trying it out.)

James can't talk, either. he'd have to "talk" through monsters (like gesticulations, or monster placement - which is somewhat possible for him to do without possessing them, tho put a pin in that one because i'm not sure how that mechanic works yet LOL) but his presence IS absolutely heavily felt in the town. he's only one of the many set of eyes Watching You but he's also the most dangerous/suspicious/hateful.

chinhands. tbh i love Lake James. Town James? Vale James..? not sure what to call that one LOL. but i think about him every now and then. he actually was product of trying to conceptualize an RP (and this one had Cuban Boxer Harry too! from Brooklyn!!!) and tho that one sadly didn't get off the ground, i still keep both Town James and Boxer Harry very near and dear and close to my heart, LOL.

TYSM FOR SENDING ME THE ASK BEFORE BED ILU BAROOONNNNNN MWAH MWAH!!!!

[apocalypta-secundus]

What are some things Akina likes about Ikkaku? What are some things Ikkaku likes about Akina? :3c

Under a cut! (no it's not lewd, it's just long.)

"WHO LET THAT SLIP? I didn't tell anyone-" Time to fess up. Except, she's having a hard time doing so- great.

"So we were heard?" He was hoping his luck would hold out and that no one actually heard them. Welp-

"To be fair... Your room's right next to the damn baths, I told you to shut the window." He did, but it was loud enough for some of the others to get suspicious. Not to mention the SLAM.

"I did."

"QUIETLY WAS AN OPTION."

"Anyway, I'm not one to give a shit about looks. She could come home covered in the enemy's blood. But she's got the energy and determination that puts her right in this squad. Her hair looks good fucked up-"

She pulled his cheek, shut up shut up shut up. "That's more than I think they wanted to know. You do it again, though-. Er, I admire his strength and grit a lot." Unfortunately, she wasn't built like that, so she was more of a ranged melee fighter. "He'll just keep going and going and- He's never backing down. That, and I can be myself around him. Stubborn can be a good thing sometimes, and I think we both have that in common."

[demetxri]

I'll be greedy too so 10 facts about Helia and Adrastos ^^

Oh dear lord. This is gonna be fun. e v e;

– Helia

They’re a very fast learner, able to pick up newskills after only a bit of practice.

Helia is able to play several musical instruments, ofwhich all are string instruments.

 They also have a nice sounding singing voice, howeverthey often prefer not to sing, also because they’re very insecure about theirown singing in general.

Helia is not a vegetarian, but they certainly do mindthe meats that they eat. They prefer to stick to seafood and chicken, any otherkind of meat will likely be avoided.

As probably already given away, Helia is veryinnocent. They’ve been very sheltered and protected in their life and thefamily member that made sure of that also made sure that they didn’t get introuble.

 They used to be very skilled at reading the cards, butsince their memory loss they seem to also have forgotten how to properly readthem. They know how, but they feel like their readings aren’t as accurate asthey’re supposed to be.

 Helia is currently not aware of their parents. Theydon’t know that their supposed father wants them dead and is still searchingfor them to take their life.

Helia enjoys drinking almost as much as they enjoy apples.They’re not necessarily an alcoholic, but they certainly are able to hold theirliquor very well.

They enjoy getting physical with people; as in huggingand soft touches, but they aren’t used to sexual advances and would prefer tostay away from those. Despite that they aren’t asexual, just veryinexperienced.

They often times hide their familiar in their bag,this because it’d be a bad idea to have a lion cub running around and alsobecause they’ve already had it happen that someone tried to sell Ignis at theblack market.

– Adrastos

Besides a very amusing interest in knives, he also enjoys fishing and sailing quite a bit. Time spent at the beach is always time spent well. He’s also surprisingly handy, able to fix most things he gets his hands on.

He can’t dance at all, but he can most definitely twerk, which he’ll do in any which way he can, be it while on the floor or even while standing on his forearms.

Adrastos’ familiar is a Great Pyrenees named Fidel, Fidel is very protective of Adrastos and often helps him out of trouble.

He was orphaned at a very young age, his mother died giving birth to him and his father tried raising him while also working on a ship named ‘Kiwa’.

The captain of the ship Adrastos’ father worked on actually ended up taking a liking to Adrastos and raised him as his own when Adrastos’ father passed away when he was about six years old.

He‘s travelled a lot as a result of being raised on a ship, having seen most of the world that was reachable by ship.

Adrastos is a weather mage, specialising in electricity magic. His ability to use any other weather related magic has been locked away along with his memories.

Before he lost his memories he was actually able to manipulate most weather conditions, which he also used to his advantage on the ship. The navigator, Nikau, on the Kiwa saw potential in Adrastos and taught him most of his magic.

When he was 16, the vessel was attacked by a band of mercenaries, led by a fair skinned blonde with crimson eyes. Adrastos and Nikau were kept alive while everyone else on the ship was brutally murdered, they only kept them alive because of their value as weather mages.

Adrastos’ thinks the shop was passed down to him from Nikau, who he assumes is a distant relative, however the shop was left to Nikau from Lucio.

[morvantmortuary]

so I didn’t Go Here but I’ve been watching the fallout of a Particular Show’s series finale -

(like so)

and so Apropos of Nothing, I would just like to reiterate that we are absolutely not about killing off our cursed necromancers at the last minute here. That is a thing I refuse to do, for this exact reason. In my experience and believe me there have been multiple, it’s shitty, it leaves the story feeling frustratingly pointless, and I refuse to leave anyone who takes the precious and valuable time out of their day to read my work and get invested in the Morvants afraid that things are going to go more south for them just when a glimmer of happiness with their beloved finally seems within reach!!

Yes, they’ve definitely 100% murdered people, murdered innocent people, desecrated corpses, committed multiple counts of arson, consorted with demonic rabble of all sorts, undertaken acts of permanently altering dark magic, repeatedly broken and entered/stalked/hacked the digital devices of their loved ones, probably committed multiple acts of larceny at varying levels, impersonated a member of the clergy more than once, double parked, jaywalked all over the damn town, and definitely probably committed some sort of tax fraud, and I feel absolutely comfortable stating that I am never ever going to kill them off at the last minute just to give any reader the feeling of a gut punch or for shock value or to prove a point about how If You Don’t Repent You Must Die etc. etc. etc.

And I don’t even feel like that’s tilting my hand or spoiling anything about future arcs/the manuscript version, tbh, bc that’s exactly the reason I started writing this lot to begin with!! Not only am I a dyed-in-the-wool book!Clannibal and you can fight me about it you will lose, I believe that should someone in fiction want to fall in love with the shadowy being of questionable origin haunting their small town who definitely has a body count, they should be able to find love and not have to suffer for it at the end bc I Saw Goody Proctor Taking a Dude’s Skin Off. That is almost the entire point of it being fictional!! We do not have to prove a point of “oh welp you’re evil no matter what made you that way to begin with so into the Jaws of Death you go” - we can do the exact opposite, here, because believe me when I say nobody is actually getting murdered or used for demon chow!! I would know, I checked!!!

Anyway. I just feel super bad for the fandom (and secretly kind of glad I managed to dodge that particular bullet through constant procrastination), because I know just how cheap it feels for your dark beloved to finally get some chance of hope and closure, only to have that get snatched away at the last second by a shitty writing decision. So I just wanted to re-emphasize my promise that here, in all of my stories, shit can get bad and it can get dark but you are not going to lose your Morvant at the end of it. I still believe in the magic of spooky season all year round. 🖤

(…That’s not to say they won’t come out of things slightly… changed in odd ways or a bit worse for wear now and then, but that’s part of the fun, isn’t it? :3c)

anyway, just wanted to put that out there 👻🖤 carry on~

[pika-ace]

I FINALLY SAW THE IN THE HEIGHTS MOVIE

HOLY SHIT

HOLY FUCKING SHIT I JUST WITNESSED MANNA FROM THE FUCKING GODS

My skin is clear, my children are fed, and my crops are thriving and I have SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT IT

SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT! Seriously, do not read if you want to see the movie, I want you to experience this emotional ride yourselves

- I don't really need to talk about the music because, as expected, it was top-notch. Everyone was great, great voices, god-tier dancing, just good shit all around

- Songs are cut and things are changed, but honestly, NOTHING was lost so there's no need to worry. For every story element they take away, they add SO MUCH MORE with the changes they made to make up for it. It's like ITH for the first time all over again :D

- First up, Usnavi. MY GOD ANTHONY RAMOS, I AM SO SORRY I'VE BEEN SLEEPING ON YOU FOR SO LONG! I never paid him any mind back in the day because his face was just plastered all over Lams stuff (UGGGGH) so seeing him doing his own thing SEPARATE from that? I WAS ONCE BLIND BUT NOW I SEE

- The whole beach story-telling thing was throwing me off the whole time. I remember how PETRIFIED everyone was when the trailers showed that, but I had faith that there was a point to it and I WAS RIGHT!! The SECOND Sonny pointed out that green crab he painted, it was like a slap in the face, and when Usnavi started his whole 'There goes my flight' part, my cousin and I silently fist pumped in pure joy

- Also, USNAVI👏AND👏VANESSA👏AS👏MARRIED👏BUSINESS👏PARTNERS👏FUCKING👏ALL👏MY👏YES (Why did none of us think of this before????)

- USNAVI AND VANESSA GETTING A CANONICAL DAUGHTER, FUCKING YES PLEASE, PUT THAT HAT ON HER HEAD

- Next, Nina. Just...OH her voice...so soft...so gentle...I could fall asleep to that shit...

- The extra details of her being discriminated against at Stanford, just...DAMN, that shit HURTED. Best Girl doesn't deserve that shit!!!

- And her deciding to go back after learned that Sonny wants to be like her but can't due to discrimination just...BEST GIRL

- Benny just...OOZED charm, man. It almost makes me sad that he and Nina didn't play as big a role in the movie as they did in the play compared to Usnavi and Vanessa. ALMOST.

- Speaking of, Vanessa got an expanded role, HELL TO THE FUCKING YES. (She got a last name change from Otilla Garcia to Morales, but hey, her last name was just a workshop thing anyway so it's JUST not-canon enough to make changing it acceptable)

- Vanessa being the one who decided on the mural thing and getting Pete and Sonny to help just...BEAUTIFUL. That's TRUE LOVE right there

- Lin as Piragua Guy and Chris Jackson as Mr. Softee; that was the funniest meta shit I've EVER seen.

- I?? Did not expect?? To come out of this LOVING Kevin Rosario??? Like, he was SO MUCH BETTER and less antagonistic??? And I LOVED IT??

- Seriously though, getting rid of his prejudice against Benny was THE MOST WELCOME CHANGE in this whole movie (to me at least). When those two were together in the dispatch during the Blackout and helping people, that was just *chef's kiss* That was the pseudo-father-son shit I have been CRAVING for those two!

- Blackout was much less scary and chaotic than we were led to believe in the stage play; a part of me was disappointed, but the way they made it with everyone taking it in stride made up for it. It was like 'Aw dammit, blackout! Welp, bust out the fireworks and the Bingo boards, we're gonna be in the dark for a while, you all know the drill.'

- Also, lights turning back on RIGHT after Carnival del Barrio? Nice touch 👌

- Pete was SO GOOD. Favorite scene:

Usnavi, with Sonny: You're out here; who's watching the store? *points to Pete who's booking it out of the store having stolen something*

Sonny: *runs after him* PETE NO, YOU CAN'T JUST DO THAT!!!

- Age gap still seems a bit ambiguous between Sonny and Pete, so until confirmation is given, this pairing is staying EXPLICITLY in the stage version tag on Ao3 XD

- PETE PROVIDING VANESSA WITH INSPIRATIONAL MATERIALS, THAT IS A FACET OF FRIENDSHIP I NEVER KNEW I WANTED

- Also, appreciate Usnavi being MUCH less antagonistic towards Pete, just treating him as an annoying kid that enjoys getting a rise out of him rather than a vandal that's a bad influence who Usnavi WILL call the cops on if pushed.

- Daniela and Carla were REALLY awesome together and I'm DOWN for them being a couple, even though Hollywood STILL decided to be cowards about it with no on-screen kiss or mention that they were girlfriends (come on guys, it's 2021, stop hiding the gays!!)

- Abuela. ABUELAAAAAAAA. NEED I SAY MORE????

Usnavi: I wanna take you and Sonny to DR

Abuela: I'm not leaving without Sonny

Me: MY QUEEN, YEEEEES

- When I saw her lying down during Blackout and staring at Usnavi and Sonny and then started transitioning into Paciencia y Fe, my writer brain IMMEDIATELY began putting those metaphor pieces together and was like 'No...no no no no NO, don't you do this to me, DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE DO THIS TO ME-'

- Alabanza had me sobbing; no comment.

- The lotto money twist was SO GOOD??? Like, my cousin and I were VERY concerned when it wasn't brought up AT ALL, but then when it turns out she saved the ticket to give to Usnavi as a final gift after her death just...TEARS EVERYWHERE

- And last but not least...Sonny. Sonny Sonny Sonny Sonny SONNYYYYYYYYYYY! My son, my child, the light of my life, the stars in my sky, was given justice on this day!!!

- HE HAS A DAD!! IT'S A SHITTY DAD BUT HE HAS A PLACE TO LIVE!!! IT'S BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAD BEFORE AND I THANK BASED LMM FOR GIVING MY BOY THE BACKSTORY HE DESERVED!! (Fanfic writers, I expect MOUNTAINS of angst and hurt/comfort from you all with this new material!)

- RIP Smol Sonny, but that baby face of his MORE than made up for it :3c

- Usnavi WANTING to take Sonny to DR right off the bat, just...THANK YOU. That was DESPERATELY NEEDED and was even wrapped up early and neatly with Sonny saying to Usnavi 'Nah, I grew up here in NY, I have no memories of DR but YOU do, so if you wanna go, then go, I like it here.' and since he HAS A FUCKING HOME here, the worry for his well-being is GONE and it feels GOOD.

- Learning Sonny was undocumented was a PUNCH IN THE FUCKING HEART! My mind IMMEDIATELY reminded me when his dad asked Usnavi why he only paid Sonny in cash and the FACE HE MADE when Nina said that undocumented kids can't get in college just BABY NOOOOOOOOOO

- Usnavi. Using. The goddamn lotto money. TO GET SONNY DOCUMENTED. MY DE LA VEGA COUSIN LOVING HEART HAS FUCKING ASCENDED AND IS NEVER COMING BACK DOWN. DADNAVI SUPREMACY.

Do I have ANY gripes with this movie? Yes, I do.

THEY FUCKING KILLED CAMILA. I DO NOT APPRECIATE BEST MOM GETTING THE DISNEY TREATMENT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH >:/

Other than that though, this movie is a 10/10, go see it. Right now. I mean it.

Story questions

Sorry if it seems like I just bombard you with AITR questions but would it be correct to assume that Sephiroth is entirely Cloudsexual? As in he literally has no desire or interest in any other living thing but Cloud? Because the way you write him really gives off that vibe and it’s fascinating because it’s like Cloud is literally the only person in existence Sephiroth has been or ever will be attracted to and the implications of that are pretty powerful. And pardon me for assuming here but I get the feeling someone or something is going to make the hideous mistake of having a go at Cloud *cough*Hojo*cough* and Sephiroth’s just going to look at the rest of Shinra and be like. “Welp. All this shit’s gots ta go now~“

oh yeah sephiroth is demisexual at most and gives very cloud-sexual vibes even in canon imo, although post-og specifically. like, he needs to feel a connection to feel attraction (or even interest at all) and there’s never been anyone he’s connected to more than cloud, in so many ways. aitr sephiroth just had his cloud obsession jumpstarted extra early because of his childhood lol

cloud, meanwhile, is a disaster bisexual who is functionally gay but also definitely not thinking about romance at the moment in the slightest. rip sephiroth your efforts were... actually no your efforts were fairly in vain

and i won’t spoil things, but no worries, you’re definitely not the only person to assume that seph is gonna fuck things up in the name of protecting cloud soon :3c

as for the questions noooo i love questions please feel free to ask any and all questions it gives me an excuse to yell abt ffvii

Anonymous said: What is one haunted location you guys would really like to visit someday?

Poveglia is definitely the highest on the list for the notoriety alone, although they would likely never get the permission to go (the history in general is almost excessively horrible and tragic, so nothing good would come out of doing an episode there. Maybe it’d be good as a final-chapter type location? 🤔).

@anxious-fander-bean​ said: Hey Logan, have you ever tried swing dancing? It's really fun and good excersize! There's also a lot of bouncing and upbeat music, so Patton might enjoy it as well! ((I'm doing it. I need the qpp boys to be happy and have fun, bc they deserve it.))

(LOGAN: I’ll...consider it.)

You did it, you got them to go on some good ol’ platonic dates! B)

Anonymous said: I feel bad that I don't have any deep question or something along those lines, but what's your favorite thing to bake, Pat? - 💐

That’s alright! Questions don’t have to be deep to be fun/interesting. 

(PATTON: Cupcakes! You can make so many different flavors, and there are tons of fun ways to decorate them!)

@why-should-i-tell-youu2 said: Why cant anyone else see the seal?

You need to have The Sight to be able to see demon sigils. Patton has this ability naturally, and Dee has it because Elliott taught it to him. Otherwise, Virgil and Roman would be the closest in terms of gaining this ability, but a scared/skeptical part of them is holding them back. 

Anonymous said: My good dorks, is there a way to, I don’t know, get a better/more effective charm for your office? One that costs more than $10? -🍁

Anonymous said: Hey, Logan, potential naturalistic explanation for ya: depending on what the charm was made of, shifts in ambient room temperature could have caused minuscule expansions and contractions in the material that would eventually crack the charm. Do I believe my own explanation? Absolutely not. Am I grasping at straws for a non-supernatural explanation? Absolutely. And ambient room temperature doesn’t even begin to explain the red symbol around the charm

(LOGAN: Our budgeting is already a mess as it is, the last thing we need is to waste more funds on decorations. And that theory seems much more reasonable than the contrary explanation.)

Anonymous said: Is the demon that Pavreen summoned the same demon that possessed Elliott?

Anonymous said: Welp Virge SUMMONED A DEMON- (Why do I have a feeling Remy was the demon that possessed Elliot-)

Nope, they’re all different demons! The demon that Parveen summoned is notoriously difficult to contact, so a bunch of teenagers wouldn’t have been able to do it. Likewise for Remy; you can only summon him once you have his True Name, and he’s already destroyed most references to that (sorry Patton).

Anonymous said: omg omg omg what part of mythology is remy part of???

He’s not from any particular mythology, but he is partly based off of Alps from German folklore and the general mythology around sleep paralysis!

Anonymous said: Can Patton see supernatural beings like ghosts and demons and stuff? I just think it would be interesting if his scars make him able to see them :3c

Anonymous said: If both Dee and Patton can see the sigil, and Dee can see ghosts, does that mean Pat can see ghosts too? With the whole red glowing thing (forgot what its called) it seems to be connected.

Yes he can see ghosts/demons, and you’re right that the scars (or rather the deal with the demon which gave him his powers and scars) are what lead to him being able to do it. The red is just a general indicator of something supernatural/not of our Realm.

Anonymous said: Wait so if Patton and his family all have that mark could that mean Patton is not completely human 👀 -🌈

I supposed you could say that Patton’s not entirely human because he’s a witch who was born without a soul, but he’d find that pretty offensive tbh.

Anonymous said: Are Elliott and Patton maybe related, even distantly? Also, roman needs to suck it up and have Feelings for the Snake Man

There’s no relation between Elliott and Patton. Elliott is the child of a seer and a psychic, Patton is the son of witches. They’re similar, but different. (Also you’re assuming that Roman hasn’t liked the Snake Man since high school, but considered him off-limits because he’s his brother’s best friend).

Anonymous said: Does Patton know that Dee can see spirits and does Dee know that Patton is protecting them all?

Anonymous said: Dee, pat, do you know that each other can see the sigil? 

Anonymous said: is ... is patton a witch and dee a dee-mon and that's why they don't like each other.....?

Anonymous said: Pat what do you think about making deals with demons?

They’re both aware of each other’s secrets! Technically they’re both doing their best to protect everyone, but that doesn’t mean they agree with each other’s methods or bond over the shared responsibility. 

Patton is indeed a witch, and Dee is a regular human who happened to summon a demon one time. Patton thinks Dee is the occult equivalent of a satanist, which he disagrees with because dark magic is unnatural/dangerous in his eyes (making deals with demons only leads to trouble!), and would prefer Dee not endanger his friends. Dee doesn’t like Patton because of his perceived moral superiority, and finds the way he can be so secretive and two-faced creepy 

Regardless, they’re both sitting in glass houses and have more in common than they think.

Anonymous said: Patton Should Hug Dee *

Maybe. But he won’t. 8′D

Anonymous said: Since Dee has been able to see ghosts for a long time, was he an open believer in ghosts before Elliot died? Since it was mentioned that the reason he lies about his belief is because he knows that they're dangerous, he wouldn't have had a reason to hide it in the past. And if he did are any of the others aware of the belief change? Well, besides Remus. I'm guessing that one is pretty obvious.

He may have been more involved as a believer in the past, though that doesn’t mean he was ever super open about it. He was aware of how it would look like to outsiders (being genuinely skeptical at one point himself), so he wasn’t going to paint a target on his back by talking about ghosts and demons and things most people can’t see.

Of course, that didn’t stop people from stereotyping and making those sorts of assumptions about their friend group anyway, but no one besides them really knew about their secret-- not even Virgil.

Anonymous asked: What would happen if one time, the gang ended up getting something supernatural on camera?

The result of that would depend on the being. Ghosts can kinda appear on camera, although it’s very rare for them to appear as a full bodied apparition, which is why they usually only manifest in spirit orbs or light/shadows. Poltergeists are better since they’re able to interact with objects, but likewise since they can’t manifest into a physical form they can easily be brushed off. Demons and other miscellaneous creatures will straight up not appear if captured directly on film; you’ll simply get video glitches and distortions.  

So essentially, they may technically have found something already, but capturing evidence that’s also compelling is a lot more difficult than you’d think. I imagine there’s a good chance that anything legitimate wouldn’t get taken too seriously because of how easy it is to fake evidence nowadays.

Anonymous said: Okay so a little bit of a rant but not really ig but imagine the ladylike and unsolved crossover for this AU like I can see it as like Thomas' friends dressing up Roman and Dee in style and seeing a blushing mess and maybe flirting going on because of how good the clothing complements each other but this is kinda a weak idea lol

It’s not a weak idea at it, it’s really cute! (though I may just have a soft spot for the Ladylike cast and crossovers). 

The only thing to note is that I’ve chosen not to include Thomas’ friends in this AU because I personally weird about writing fiction about real people? (I was on the fence about including character!Thomas for a while too, tbh). So, apologies to anyone who’s sent similar asks or wanted to see any of Thomas’ friends; they wont be around!

Anonymous said: Did Dee and Remus ever have that talk Dee said he would try to have a while back????

They might have gotten the opportunity to chat back when Remus came back to help shoot the Room 1046 video. It wouldn’t have been a complete reconciliation by any means (dealing with years of baggage in one sitting is Hard), but now Remus is aware that Dee is open to discuss things again at some point in the future, so progress!

💋 for what my muse would say to the person trying to woo your muse :3c

EVER WONDER WHAT MY MUSE SAYS ABOUT YOURS? | @azure-steel | Accepting

It wasn't unusual to witness the occasional vixen or player making advances towards her usual distracted husband. There was something comical about watching the people pass an innuendo or two, only to be shot down by Cloud's dry attitude and his aloof nature towards other's fondness for him.

However, it was this particular customer who would make Tifa's day a living hell. He had the looks, he had the charm, and most of all he somehow grabbed Cloud's attention when it came to the inner workings of Fenrir, which somehow made their stay at the customer's home longer than Tifa cared for.

Of course she wasn't against giving this man a chance. She tried being nice. She tried engaging with him and the conversation he was having with Cloud, only to be shot down by a simple half-lidded stare and a shit-eating grin that screamed "you are not important".

Admittedly, she was hurt. And she knew what this man was up to---what with the subtle touches against Cloud's arm, how close he got to the blond as if he were asserting his dominance over him by simply comparing their scale. Cloud still appeared detached to this man's advances despite the guy making it abundantly clear with his comments: "Oh, if you weren't married I'd totally fuck you" etc..

The conversation had to have lasted for a half an hour, which Tifa would prompt Cloud with the knowledge that their next customer was going to get their package late if they remained a moment longer. The man simply waved a dismissive hand at her, telling her to go on her own if she was "so pressed for time". She didn't want to admit it, but this guy made her blood boil.

She mentally chanted the 'inner-peace' mantra to keep her fury under wraps. She held her tongue when she so desperately wanted to voice her concerns. She was keeping a lid over the aggressive anger thumping at her chest. She knew she was going to burst if they didn't leave soon.

And just like the responsible girl she was, she decides to get out of that situation before it got ugly, "I'll wait for you on fenrir. Don't be long, okay Cloud?" She turns on her heel, takes a deep breath, and makes her way down the pavement.

Ah, but of course she forgot to ask the man for his signature regarding the drop-off. When she turns around again, her heart drops in the pit of her stomach. The scene undone before her was the customer had the audacity to place his hand firmly between the blond's thighs.

That was far enough.

She wasn't aware that she'd approached him. Or the fact that her demeanor was dark. The last thing she saw was the man smirking, and then his nose was cracked open, blood pooling on the ground.

Had Cloud not been there to hold her back, Tifa wasn't sure if she'd stop. But, at least she’d come to her senses and immediately regret her actions...                ...maybe.

                                            ‘That felt great.’

...

...

...

                            Welp. Looks like Strife Delivery lost a customer.

Stories from the workplace

alright, so I’ve got some story rrriigggghhhtttt out of a soap opera. I have this coworker who is about as empathic as a plastic bag around your face. I’m talking sociopath cause I have compared her actions with the traits and i fits like a glove. She originally worked at our sister location and had worked at our location previously when we were short-staffed. Even then I already gotten weird vibes from her so I was glad i wasn’t a perminent thing. Years go by and she gets into a fight with her manager and the rest of her coworkers there. Boss didn’t want to lose her so hired her at our location. All is fine and dandy for a while but it didn’t stay that way. Our manager got offered a job elsewhere and took it, so we got a new manager. This manager had already been offered the job before but due to complications couldn’t take the job. (She was pregnant and after giving birth had heart problems. She’s got a pacemaker now) This lady is a fucking trooper, she works her ass off to make sure we as employees are happy. I can get pretty frustrated with work but if she asks me to pick up an extra shift I will. So, we get 3 weeks of vacation time. I took mine 21st of October til the 10th of November. We have 6 people currently including my manager. We have a student who took his vacation in the beginning of summer because he still goes with his parents. We had one coworker (we’ll call her Bean cause this story involves them) go in the middle of summer with miss Sociopath taking 2 weeks off. Manager didn’t even have a full vacation because she was still doing paper work. Then there is our old man, our fixure of the workplace because he’s been there for nearly 20 years. He took his vacation in September, the first 3 weeks. I thought ‘it’s fine I can take the last and a few in October’ NOPE. Miss Sociopath took the last week of September. Summer is usually a work-heavy period so I was basically running on fumes at that point... But since I had a vacation planned with friends the first week of November I figured ‘21st October til 10 November it is!’ I submitted those dates before september since the work scedule for that month had already been planned. So the work scedule for October and November are planned. Miss Sociopath whines she has exams IN THE MIDDLE OF MY VACATION. Manager told me not to worry about it since I had submitted my dates well on time and miss Sociopath DIDN’T. It did nothing to stop the worrying... Then... It happened... The other coworker, Bean, gets in an accident. She was riding on her scooter and had to evade a cat. Ending up in a ditch. She sprained and tore her knee and ankle, ontop her neck turned stiff so moving her head wasn’t possible. This happened when miss Sociopath was still on holiday for her last week so I had to take over Bean’s shifts which I did even if I was running on fumes and highly irritable. Did ask our Fixture if he could work one of my shifts since I’d be working 7 in a row and 8 was gonna kill me. He had no trouble with that. Since Bean’s injuries were pretty severe she was out for atleast all of October. Now I have to say I was pretty frustrated having to work extra shifts when I was already on my last legs. But it was NOTHING compared to Miss Sociopath. Miss Sociopath accussed Bean of faking it and that Bean could work a few hours regardless of her injuries. And that once SHE worked with a BROKEN FOOT. (if it truly been only her leg Bean technically could have worked since she’d been allowed to use the chair. It would be highly uncomforable but it could be done. However i wasn’t just her leg) She also called the rest of us lazy since we didn’t ‘do our jobs properly’ and that if she were manager ‘you’d all have to fear for your job’. (lady, if you were manager I’d quit on the spot, have fun filling 3 full shifts ontop of those 4 other shifts from Bean. Our shifts are divided in 3 aday, you’re fucked if that happens) Bean wasn’t back before I went on vacation so the manager needed to request emergency aiders. But during my holiday I got a notification from the work group. I feared it was trouble so I looked. No such thing. It was a Kermit drinking tea meme. Something very odd in a group chat meant for work related messages... It was posted by miss Sociopath and had 3 sentences: 1. ‘I don’t actually see you as a collegue.’ 2. ‘Oh you mean we’re more like friends?’ 3. ‘No I mean you do jackshit’ ............................... Yeh, she REALLY posted that..... So the Manager asked the Student, he was the admin of the group, if he could delete it. He told the manager only Miss Sociopath could delete it. So Miss Sociopath responded with: ‘I don’t see the problem? Is self-mockery forbidden?’ Bitch. You’ve been shouting that we’re lazy. Do you REALLY THINK we’d see this post as SELF-MOCKERY? .... So being a little shit I decided to explain it to her <3 I told her: ‘The text implies YOU view US as lazy. It’s not self-mockery if it’s not about yourself.’

Welp~ This is where her true persona shines~ Because her response on that was truly: ??? Dafuq??? (I’ve shown it to various people and that was legit their response) Her response: ‘Wolf, firstly, I think my vocabulary is broader than yours. (good for you? I doesn’t make you smarter tho) Secondly, You don’t know if I’m lazy nowadays since I don’t work extra. So if you want to have an opinion you better ask for facts first’ :justsaying: (No, no I don’t. You can have an opinion WITHOUT facts. I can find you a stupid crotchgoblin, doesn’t have to be true. That’s why it’s an OPINION.)  Seriously, I had a giggle with that ludicrous answer but the Manager was fed up. The Manager snapped to cut the crap and that the chat wasn’t for this crap. Miss Sociopath replied with: ‘I was seriously joking about my new motivation’ bu was promptly shut down again. Then she left the group chat :3c (oops~) I did apologize to my manager in private because I didn’t think Miss Sociopath would explode like THAT. Manager said it was cool and enjoy the rest of my holiday. Which I did~ So now I’m back at work, Bean and the Manager are the first coworkers I’ve seen so far. And this is what I’ve heard regarding Miss Sociopath: - She’s pissy because I called her out -  She’s driven the Department of Personnel crazy to the point that they hang up if she calls. - She’s texted the Manager so much and at such odd hours (3am) that we can’t text her after 6pm or on weekends. (unless emergency like gas-leak or something) - She’s called Bean a ‘Fat Toad’ (Bean lost like 99lbs in a short time, rude) - She’s been rude towards customers - She’s tried to whore herself out AT WORK (chatting up guys to see if they’re willing... DON’T STICK YOUR DICK IN CRAZY) - She’s threatened and yelled muliple times she’s going to quit (oh please do, you won’be missed) So the manager is going to have a review with her (letting slip Miss Sociopath’s contract ends in February) and that she’s probably only going to give her the 8-hours stated on her contract. (Missy ain’t happy about that) We’re all getting a review but Miss Sociopath is probably the only one on the chopping block.
