This is fanart I drew for the fanfic I wrote if you like what you see then please check out this fic.Here is the plot The night after the apocalypse Stan is recovering from amnesia with the help of his family. Ford apologized to Mabel. They all get some much needed food, get clean up and rest .Ford talk to Dipper about his apprenticeship. The kids talk to each other about trauma how will they help Stan get his memories back? Will it be to difficult for them to handle?

August/22/2012 The night after weirdmageddon The Pines Family and Waddles stay with Soos, until Mcgucket and the town folks help fix the shack, they pack up most of their stuff for the night.Pacifica gives them all new clothes and pj's.

The kids pjs are pink and blue ones with cats on it and one with dogs.Abuela gave the kids Turkey, lettuce and tomato sandwiches and they ate them like two little starved puppies.Since they haven't eaten a whole lot in the last 3 days.And gave the boys some coffee. And offered them a sandwich.Soos let them stay with him like they stayed with him when Gideon took their shack.

6:00 pm "I'm going to take the longest bubble bath ever" she announces Mabel goes to take a bath, Dipper unpack his bag in the living room. Soos set up the boys air mattress for the night."Anything you dudes need just ask me" Soos offered

"will be fine thank you've done so much"Ford said "yea Soos I don't know what we would do without you thank you"Stan told him .Stan and Ford sat on the couch. "Stanley, how are you doing?" "Good I'm starting to remember things I think.", "Ok that's good let me know if you are in any sort of pain please,I'm just concerned that recovering from Bill might be painful".Ford said worriedly

"I will thank you poindexter" "I found some old photos from when we were children, to show you at some point". Ford replied "I hope that will help" "I think it will..you're getting better" Ford hugs him and Stan hugs him back. A unpleasant smell fills the air “Stan did you just fart” Ford Sided. “Whoops must be the coffee” Stan laughed a little Ford ignoring his brother’s shenanigans let a little smile out at least his acting like himself.

When Dipper was done unpacking he said "Grunkle Stan do you want some toffee peanuts" asked Dipper "Umm I think so...sure", Dipper handed him his favorite snack and he ate them happily. "Grunkle Stan do you remember how you fought zombies" "umm no" "remember I rose the dead umm....accidentally","oh yeah that was frustrating "Stan grunted he remembered Dipper doing something he told him not too and he did it anyway "I'm sorry about that, I'm sorry I didn't listen to you and I feel bad for almost killing those Government guys"Dipper apologized.

"It's ok goober don't do that again"Stan rubs Dipper's head " but after we sang and killed zombies"he added " that was fun I liked getting to use my brass knuckles "Stan remembered. Then Mabel came out of the bathroom wearing pink and blue cat pjs. She found some band-aids and put them under her pjs and one on her cheek,She had a brush in her hand and she smelled like strawberries and mangoes.Ford walks over to her and been down to her eye level and put his hand on her shoulder ."Mabel I would like to apologize for how I chose Dipper over you and how I try to take your brother away from you

I'm sorry I didn't spend time getting to know you. I hope you can forgive me and I would love to spend some time together if you want to". She hugged him. He was a bit surprised he didn’t think she would want to show him affection. He picked her up. "I thought you liked Dipper more than me." "Well I'm sorry I did it was rash and mean of me to not show you that I like you,but I promise I'll make it up to you can you forgive me please"."I forgive you Grunkle Ford I would love to color,or I could paint your hand and make a 6 fingers hand turkey, or or I could teach you how to knit your own sweater"." Let's do it tomorrow my dear How was your bath," Ford asked . "I could have filled a whole other bathtub with all the bubbles,it was so warm and soapy". “You didn’t use all the hot water did you” he joked she smiled and shook her head no.

Then Mabel walked over to the couch where Stan,Dipper she sat on Stan’s lap.She handed him the brush and gave him her brown puppy dog eyes.He smiled, took the brush and brushed her, clean wet hair he held her on his lap and she looked very glad. He doesn't mind doing this for her; he can't say no to her. She is so darn cute.She loved this because of the attention.Then Ford went and took a shower. "That felt amazing. I love bubble baths" 'you want to hear a secret I do too", Stan said to her in a whisper. He kisses her cheek and she smiles, "Yea we know" Dipper grumbles”Well at least I don't stink like a wet dog", "yea kid you do stink and have like a sweating problem" Stan teased him. "I don't care …… Grunkle Stan do you remember, the jokes you would tell us" they read out of the uncle jokes book.

"Like why did the skeleton go alone to the dance" Dipper asked "umm Because he had nobody to go with him" Stan answered ,"yay you remember"she cheered "keep reading"They read more and Stan remembered every punch line.After Ford came over to sit on the couch he was wearing green and white plaid pjs, "the bathroom is free" he announced."Ok I'm gonna go wash up" Stan gets up and Mabel and waddles follow him in the hallway

"Grunkle Stan I have to ask you a question", "what is it?" "do you remember when you saved us from dinosaurs''. "What no?""Remember you saved me and waddles, we nap together' waddles sat on his feet ' you taught me how to cheat at cards". She showed him her scrapbook and pictures from that day and it helped," "Oh right I must've taught you well because you bet me.,.thanks for helping me remember ""I just didn't want you to forget me". He picks her up and holds her in his arms "how could I forget you're my pumpkin".

7:00 pm Just then Wendy showed up with 3 pizzas and cookies, "save some pizza for me " he told her "ok" ."Who wants pizza" Wendy announced "me" Mabel shouted "me too"Dipper called, they all ate pizza together she brought pepperoni and cheese.Ford was sitting on a chair Mabel sneaks up behind him she hugs him ,"HUG ATTACK" "ahhh" Ford act scared "Grunkle Ford did I scared you"

"yes come here my dear",he picks her up and puts her on his lap, and put all 12 fingers on her belly and tickles her she giggles and then he sang to her"I've got sunshine on a cloudy day When it's cold outside I've got the month"he rubs her belly "of May I guess you'd say What can make me feel this way? My girl, my girl" he kissed her on the head. "I've got so much honey."she giggles "The bees envy me. I've got a sweeter song Than the birds in the trees. Well I guess you'd say "What can make me feel this way My girl, my girl,"she hugs him.

There is one cookie left and both kids want it "ok dudes who wants the last cookie" ."I do" said Dipper "but you already had 3 cookies"Mabel added "so did you"Dipper argued, "ok but I'm the alpha twin I should have it" she said "what does that happen to do with a cookies",he argued"because I'm older" "BY 5 Minutes" he reminded her "you know what you can have it",she surrendered the cookie "wait what if we split it" "ok sure little brother" they split the cookie. after they were done Mabel said"awkward sibling hug" "ok awkward sibling hug" they hug "pat pat" "pat pat" . Then Stan came and he sat down and ate his pizza, he was wearing red and black plaid pjs.After dinner their bellies were all full then Mabel and Wendy,soos, played a game of go fish."Ok dude go fish" "no I only have two hands", Wendy picked up more cards Mabel is almost close to winning Stan sat on a chair and happily watched the kids play.

7:45 pm Dipper and Ford sat on the couch "Dipper can I have a word with you" "yes" "I think you shouldn't be my apprentice, I don't think I can handle taking care of you by myself.And you are still a child you should enjoy being one. I don't want you to get hurt. I know I haven't done the best job trying to keep you safe. You need to go to school and socialize with kids your own age, and you need to grow up with your sister","ok I understand I was thinking the same thing I would miss my parents and my sister too much",Dipper replied"but when you are older I would love you to be but only if you want to ..I need to stop being your teacher and start being your…umm….Grunkle ". Ford looks at Dipper, he smiles back at him

Dipper itches his head. It looks very greasy, his clothes are dirty, he smells strongly of body odor and pee ." How long has it been since you've bathed?" Ford questioned "I..don't know..a couple, weeks maybe a month or two I guess ". "That's disgusting go shower now ” Ford ordered “no…..you’d have to make me….I don’t want too” he stubbornly said “fine then I will wash you,"Ford told him annoyed . Dipper tries to move away Ford picks him up, and puts him over his shoulder,"you need a bath you have a rancid odor " he insisted Dipper grumbles. Ford scrubs pine scented shampoo in with 6 fingers in his hair softly,he reveals his birthmark . He scrubs his body with strawberries scented soap.Dipper looked up at him annoyed "you wouldn't be in this situation if you bathe properly " Ford displease put more soap on the sponge.

"Come on this isn't that horrible It’s for your own good” Ford rub's and tickles his belly.He giggled Ford smiles at him and he starts to sing."Disco girl coming through that girl is you Ooh-ooh, ooh" ."It's the year 1972 and that girl is you Ooh-ooh-ooh," Dipper sings."You like disco girl too" he ask Ford "yes I had the cassette tape a long time ago” "umm I have it I can give it back to you.I think Mabel put some stickers on it sorry I like it so much I bought the CD" Dipper said "That's my boy No you keep it...Doesn't that feel better than having an unpleasant smell " "yea it does I forgot that feeling" ,"you need to do this every day a shower and deodorant it essential to so you don't get an itchy infection "Ford told him "Yeah, I know that I guess I just need a reminder "Dipper replied. “I understand god knows even I forget to basic human needs from time to time.But working on making it a routine”Ford washed him again.

Then Ford drys him off he looks at the tiny cuts on Dipper's arm. Worriedly thinking that he fell down or something that hopefully that he wasn't hurting himself "that's when Bill possessed me he stabbed my arm with a fork"."Oh my lord that's terrible ..you know you don't have to fear Bill anymore" , "Grunkle Ford are you sure?" "I promise" Ford reassures him and puts some band- aids on the cuts on his arm and some more band-aids on the scrapes on his cheek and leg. Then Ford wasps him up in a white towel puts him on his lap and hugs him tightly. Ford kisses him on his head Dipper thinks that he likes when Grunkle Ford takes care of him. And Ford is thrilled to be a great uncle. He loves doing this kind of stuff for his grand nephew it's more enjoyable than an apprentice could ever be.Then Ford brushes his hair Dipper yawns and puts on his pink and blue dog pjs they finish, brushing their teeth.

8:18 pm Abuela washes all of their clothes and hats Wendy goes home and Soos goes to bed, Mabel fell asleep on a red blanket on the floor,Stan picks up the sleepy girl and tucked her into bed, with a warm orange blanket on the couch waddles got on the couch beside her you can see her blue pjs with pink cats on it she opens her eyes ."Grunkle Stan, I feel bad for causing weirdmaggedon" he can’t remember what had happened a couple days before the war.

“I’m sorry I really don’t remember” he told her “you saved us in the Tower in the sky when bill Conch me and Dipper…but you have to ease your mind…all because I started the weirdmaggedon” she said worrying that it her fault that he’s like this.

He tries hard to remember what she taking about and he doesn’t remember exactly how it happened. But he remembers that his niece would never do something like that on purpose."It was an accident right and I'm ok besides I'll be back to normal before you know it. " he tried to reassure her “is Grunkle Ford still going to make you move out” she asked she heard them arguing it still bothers her he might not have a place to live.

He remember a little bit he didn’t know exactly why his brother would kick him out. But he hopes that will change “probably not don’t worry pumpkin ” “ok I love you" she yawns.

" Yeah you too come on time hit the hay" she looks asleep he pats her head.As she gets comfortable in bed it starts raining hard.Then Ford carried Dipper over to the couch he was wearing, pink pjs with blue dogs on it. Dipper "finally I've waited so long to sleep on a real bed" "get some rest children" Ford said good night"Good night kids,"Stan shouted from his bed. Stan and Ford went to bed " stay on your side of the bed" "how old are you" Ford said sarcastically."I'm younger than you" Stan replied Ford rolls his eyes "right?"he can't remember for sure "Yes, younger by 15 min" Ford reassured him. "How old are we"he asks "65 unfortunately"Ford answered "god we're old men" Stan said then tried to sleep.

Back on the couch "Dipper do you feel bad for the weirdmaggedon stuff" "yeah a little, do you" she nodded her head. "I'm sorry… I gave Bill the rift" she started to cry. He looked a little surprised.

"I stayed in the time bubble he made.I was scared of weirdmaggedon happening outside ,and worst of all WE ALMOST DIED and it's ALL MY FAULT " Mabel sobbed.Waddles licked her tears away "Hey it's not your fault it's Bill's fault he tricked you, you didn't know what the rift was.

I'm sorry when we had our fight I didn't think about how my decision would affect you"He rubs her back slowly. "And the time bubble you were scared of growing up and you couldn't leave if you wanted to. But it's over, we're still here safe and sound.

He hugged her "And I promise that we'll never have to go through that again .Maybe you can talk to a therapist about it when we get home" " thank you bro bro I feel better I can't wait to talk to someone .""I think I might want to talk to a therapist too, like when I almost killed those Government guys and I didn't do anything about it or when Bill possessed me and was too scared to sleep. And he said he threatened to throw my body off the water tower and WE COULD DIE today " Dipper admitted he cried a little. She hugged him more "Bill died he can't hurt you any more I will never let you be hurt, like that again.. I love you "" I love you too". Just then they heard the loud thunder that scared her. She hugged him tighter and said "You want to go sleep in their bed" he nodded his head then they walked over to the boys bed.

"Grunkle Stan can we sleep with you guys PLEASEEE" she begged "Fine" Stan picked them up. He pats Dipper head let him kown he's good kid "Come over here my boy" Dipper crawls over to Ford's side he tells her "Mabel your a good girl it was a mistake" he reassures her that the reason.The rift broke was because he didn't trust to tell her about it.She understood that she shouldn't have gave it away but it not her fault it's bill's. "Are you scared?" Ford asks Dipper "no….maybe…..yes ".Ford tucked him in "I'm scared too" she blurted out "I've got you pumpkin I'm not going to let Bill hurt you" she hugs him. It was nice and warm under the covers much better than outside where it's cold and dark,wet.You can see the summer rain rolling down the window.Ford put his arm around Stan's shoulder Stan smiled at him tired.

Stan tucked Mabel in and cuddled her as she fell asleep. "I love you sweetie" he kisses her on the head, and listens to the sound of her breathing peacefully. He can smell her sweet scent of strawberries and mangoes. Then he sleeps too she sleeps tucked under the warm blanket on his belly with his arms cuddling her.Ford runs his 6 fingers through Dipper's hair as he falls asleep, "you're safe now I love you" Ford said and hears Dipper purring, like a kitten. Ford smells his scent of pine trees and strawberries, he sleeps close to Ford's chest.And he cuddled him. Ford tried not to fall asleep and he fails.

Mabel reaches out for Dipper's hand; they hold hands as an instinct like they would've as babies to protect each other and to know that the other one is there and is safe in their sleep. They were tucked in a warm blanket. All you can hear is the peaceful breathing and the pitter patter of the rain. The rain helps put out the small fires in the woods. They sleep peacefully through the night knowing that they can relax and they are safe and sound from evil.

August/25 A couple days later the shack is rebuilt and the Pines move back in.Stan is starting to remember more Ford tell him about their past.Ford starts at their childhoods and he apologizes for his mistakes.For shunning Stan for accidentally pushing him into the portal and Ford holding a grudge for so long. Then Ford had to ease Stan's mind. Ford sadly thought about all the years of pain .He had put him through emotional and physical pain like all the punches and the burn on his shoulder. Ford thought what kind of brother is and that He didn't even thank Stan for all the things he did to help him."You saved me you saved the world watching you I couldn't believe how calm you were I just wish you could remember ". Ford said as he started crying thinking that he started this mess with bill and now Stanley can't remember anything because of him

"I'm sorry for all the pain I put you through and I hope you can remember to forgive me " he mumble but it was Stanley that pay the price."Hey it ok thats in the past I forgive you and I love you "Stan hugs him Stan was able to forgive him because he had missed him for 30 years and he wants his brother back. He was remembering things and he kept hugging Ford and he calmed down. "Thank you Stanley,I love you too. I promise to do better,I have some old film reel of us when we were kids.

”Do you want to see" "yeah ". Ford got some popcorn and sat by Stan's chair. The clips and pictures were of them when they were little playing with paintbrush and getting paint all over themself on the beach.And goofing around at the dinner table,falling asleep on the couch and playing in the pawn shop, dressing as explorers in oversized helmets.Trying to find the Jersey Devil they do this all, in the afternoon they are so exhausted.

Hiya lovelies ♡ One of my favorite GO trope is when Crowley and Aziraphale choosing their own side makes other angels and demons reconsider, awakens them to their own free will. I love to believe that what they did with the botched apocalypse had freeing repercussions on heaven and hell. Whether it's just a few questionning angels or demons or a whole revolution.. would you know of any fics with that kind of trope? Thank you so much for satisfying my longing for the awakening of the world ♡

Hello! We have some fics exactly like this here. And I’ve got some now where more angels and demons come to Earth and begin to question Heaven and Hell...

A terrible Demon by CarpeDiem (G)

Aziraphale is meeting with an old friend, the archangel Remiel. They do that every couple of centuries and Aziraphale usually takes her out for dinner. This time Aziraphale slips up and mentions spending time with Crowley lately. To show Remiel that Crowley is in fact a terrible demon and no threat at all, he invites Crowley over. Remiel however remembers Crowley under a very different name...

Here’s Trouble, Make It Double by crepesandoysters (G)

The demon had an amused smile stamped on their face. “So, you propose that we let the two biggest traitors of Heaven and Hell craft the reports about themselves?”

Crowley grinned. “S’really more of a helpful revision.”

Among the Top 10 Quickest Ways to Derail an Entire Afternoon:

First, find yourself an angel from Heaven spying on you while lurking in your shop. Second, find a demon from Hell doing the exact same thing but more smugly. Third, mutual convenience is key.

In which Aziraphale and Crowley end up following this list to the letter.

When We Find There's Life on Earth After All by jane_with_a_j (T)

An angel awakens in Heaven from a six thousand year coma, the result of a head injury taken in the First War.

He's missed everything. The entire history of the Earth. Well, except for one thing. He hasn't missed the apocalypse, because the apocalypse, for some reason, didn't happen, and no one seems to know why - or if they do know, they won't say.

He has questions. And if the rumours are true, there's one angel who might have answers: the Principality Aziraphale.

Aziraphale isn't at all what he expected.

And nothing, as it turns out, is quite what it seems.

The Right Thing by olly_octopus (NR)

Crowley’s been kind of minding his own business since that whole nasty affair with heaven and hell trying to execute him and his angel. (It’s probably for the best.) That is, until the Archangel Michael arrives on his doorstep with trembling hands and an apology on her lips and yes, alright, you can have the spare bedroom until your head’s in the right place.

One by one, all four angels find their way into Crowley’s flat and then, one by one, fall in love with humanity the same way Aziraphale and Crowley did 6000 years ago.

(A tale of love, forgiveness, London Pride and the choices one makes. Also, a tale about how the Archangels Michael and Gabriel accidentally became the patron saints of gay culture overnight. Whoops?)

Out Of Hell by corgifeathers (T)

Beelzebub is exiled and cast out of Hell for failure to start the Apocalypse, but that may just be the least of their problems.

Shifting Heaven and Earth by BuggreAlleThis (T)

For most of history, since he narrowly avoiding Falling from Heaven with Lucifer, Crowley has been working for the Angelic Corruption Unit. This ended up being far more boring than he hoped it would be, but things change when he is assigned to go undercover on Earth. His mission is to investigate Aziraphale, an infamous angel who has been on Earth since its Creation, and whom Heaven is sure is guilty of corruption or dereliction of duty. He soon discovers that life on Earth is far more complicated than he'd been led to imagine, especially when Aziraphale's demonic counterpart, Hastur, arrives on the scene.

Amanece Cantakrona and Sondegarnr "Garner" Darai (@aubadeempress - Congrats on having the longest submission btw <3)

Amanece and Garner are demigods called "Discordant Lords" in their story universe. These beings gain power from the belief of people in them by having pieces of the last god of the previous world. They represent the domains of Time and Space respectively. Amanece is an impulsive person, but she opens her heart and wears it on her sleeve most of the time. She feels so deeply and this reflects in her resolve (and sometimes reckless action) to help people. Garner is intimidating and foreboding, but he is more careful and serene. He's careful about his emotions and letting people too close. Despite this, he cares greatly for people.

Their initial relationship starts out as two Lords who see each other with cautious enmity-neutrality, unsure of the other's intentions. Amanece at first knows Garner as the supposed terrifying and harsh 'Beast of Dirimvald' while Garner knows Amanece as a daughter of the House of Cantakrona (a family clan with three Lords incl. Amanece that has no obligation to any country or land). They gradually grow closer through their clashes and meetings until they realize and decide to work together on their goals. This partnership is a friendship at the same time. They grow a greater bond and help each other through their personal struggles. Amanece tends to fall into despair with the weight of her past, and if hit with a loss or failure her questions her capability. Garner meanwhile numbs his emotions to force himself to move forward to future goals, but never gives himself time to rest nor enjoy. They help the other find balance. Amanece helps Garner realize it is fine to grieve and process, and let himself feel, look at his past now and again, and enjoy the fruits of his labor. Garner helps Amanece see that failure doesn't define her, that she's made it so far and that while she can't change what happened in the past, she can change things now. Together, they leave the burden of the past and the future, to live in the present. (Of course, while falling in love with each other and making a home of their own)

Silly TL;DR (Enemies -> Acquaintances -> Partners/Friends -> Lovers)

✦ They balance each other out both in motif and relationship!

They're Time/Space, Sun/Moon, Past/Future, Wine Red/Midnight Blue(this last one is more visible if Garner has his coat admittedly). Amanece is the open and loud Pomeranian to Garner's gentle and peaceful Bernese Mountain Dog.

They complement and support each other. They watch out for each other in battle and divide tasks for their little home.

✦ I mean, damn, they've already got a son. (sort of)

Kinzerthelt is Amanece's young charge who she is tasked with protecting from a prayer she received. Garner is Kinzerthelt's actual biological dad, but has no idea (until it's revealed in part of the story), but he starts being a dad anyways even before him and Amanece resolve to work together. (spoiler but they also end up adopting another son, too, whoops)

✦ A solidly warm couple that goes against the odds to be together

They're the kind of couple who goes to get mani-pedis together and have nice pretty baths with flowers and scents and stuff. They also are totally the kind to be sparring one moment before attacking the other with smooches and hugs (Garner will crush Amanece with his bear hugs, please send your condolences). They also are the kind to /accidentally/ adopt children. Unfortunately, they can't have a peaceful life of domestic bliss, found family, and spa dates all the time, they have to face off against imperial powers, other Discordant Lords, and the fact that they're reincarnations--

✦ Reincarnated Lovers

--Remember when I mentioned a 'previous world'? Well, they're reincarnations of people from that said world. Garner was a scientifically-enhanced government operative while Amanece was a university graduate who ran from home during the apocalypse (caused by the death of the last god). They have a whole apocalyptic bonding time with Caelum (past Garner) promising to escort Amanece out of the city, but they die in their journey before being able to confess their feelings for each other. Unfortunately, they reincarnated differently with Garner able to have at least somewhat of a clean slate before his memories returned, while Amanece was imperfectly reincarnated with parts of her identity intact. Garner ends up wanting nothing to do with his past, seeing as he was a terrible person and associates this past as a reason for why his parents in the new world are taken from him. Amanece meanwhile wants to see the man in her memories, hoping that maybe she could finally confess her feelings. Problem? Neither of them know the other is their pair until later. Angst ensues! But on a more serious note, it adds another dynamic layer to their relationship and personal struggles with past/future.

✦ Some cool things to consider:

+ Amanece and Garner are based on/coded Filipino and Indian respectively. Though, the story world they're in doesn't use these real world identities. These inspirations do sometimes show in the story. (ie. fashion example: Amanece wears clothing inspired by Barong Tagalog and Maria Clara, Garner wears clothing inspired by jama (unfortunately could not prepare this version of his design in time for the competition qvq)) (Amanece and Garner will sometimes cook for each other, Amanece is kind of addicted to Garner's dum aloo and he likes snacking on the kutsinta she makes from time to time.)

+ Amanece and Garner are both bisexual.

+ Amanece is canonically chubby.

+ They'll hopefully have a story shown in some form in the future.. maybe a comic, a novel, or a visual novel? qvq may time be kind.

Jo and Leah (@tarraxahum)

They are a power couple of equally badass underground fighters. They are a butch-femme lesbian couple. They are joined at the hip whenever they are able to be. They are annoying the hell out of all their friends by being That One Couple that all but finishes each other's sentences. Leah will absolutely bite your face off if you cross her or ESPECIALLY Jo, but also Jo is the only one who can calm her down instantly (most of the time). Jo is calm and collected but also you don't want to know that he'll do to you if you touch Leah outside of the fighting ring. They've known each other for 14 years and been together for 10. They're not married but they are. They are on the run from something none of them talks about. They're the only ones who know how traumatized the other actually is (except for Jo's sister, maybe). Their friends joke that they once killed a man and helped each other bury the body. They smirk, but never ever deny it. Everyone collectively tries not to think what that could mean.

Because who doesn't love a perfect mix of badass and dangerous with sweet and devoted. Because butch-femme couples rule. Because couples who beat people up together stay together. Because the romance isn't dead - they reinvented it. Because they are annoying in how attuned to each other they are and what could be more annoying than winning a shipping poll. Because 'mechanic x aspiring tattoo artist' sounds like your next hype trope. Because eventually the plot of the comic they are in will reach their backstory and it will be both angsty and cathartic so y'all should totally hop on board. BECAUSE I LOVE THEM VERY MUCH.

The winner of this poll will get to skip Round Two

Hi there! I was wondering what exactly ttrpg is?

That is a great question (that multiple people asked, so now I feel silly for not clarifying before. whoops)! 'TTRPG' stands for 'table top roleplay game'. The most well-known example is Dungeons and Dragons, because, as the game was originally intended, you and your friends would sit around a table that had maps and figurines of the game your were playing, but it also involves elements of character creation and roleplay very similar to what we do here on tumblr.

There are plenty of different types of ttrpgs that have varying rules. but most of them involve creating characters with a set of stats, rolling dice, and letting the dice roll determine the success of an action! If you've seen Stranger Things you probably have a basic idea of the concept!

I like to to merge tumblr rp with ttrpgs because you get the best of both worlds. Normally, this looks like a traditional tumblr rp on the tumblr dashboard. But every month or so the group will come together for an event on discord where our characters will be attempting actions and then the players will roll to see what the outcome of their attempt is.

For example, in my recent zombie apocalypse event a character would roll using their 'constitution' stat to see if they'd succumb to the infection from their recent bite wound. I as the 'gm' (aka game master) would secretly determine in advance the number that they'd have to roll higher then. If they roll higher, their character is safe for now. If not, uh oh, your character is starting to turn into a zombie!

This type of rp requires a lot of trust between players and their gm, since the gm will inherently be doing some godmodding and the dice might force the writer into a situation they weren't anticipating. But I think that makes it even more fun and rewarding in the long run. I've been writing with the same group for five years now and we LOVE using dice rolls. There have been some situations that are unforgettable.

And because I love to ramble, I'll tell you a prime example of dice rolls being completely wild. In the system we were using rolling a 1 is the worst possible number and rolling a 20 is the best. It was this big wild west duel in the middle of the street. One of our player's characters vs a big bad npc who was known for being the most wicked man in the wild west. I spent a lot of time hyping this villain up and making him talk a big game. But when it game time for the quick draw, I rolled a 1 on behalf of the villain. And then TWO MORE critical misses (natural 1s) so this big bad guy misfired, shot himself in the foot, and then accidentally shot his friend. It wasn't the nail-biting, close-draw I was hoping for. But it created a really beautiful character moment for the pc, and all of us in the chat could not stop laughing at this bad guy's terrible luck.

AGH I ALMOST FORGOT TO RAMBLE ABOUT LEPUS AND CLOCKABY

here you go..:

so first, Lepus is a white lop eared rabbit! she was sold by a breeder to someone for their very sick daughter who loved rabbits! Lepus missed her mom a lot, but decided making that kid happy was most important to her. unfortunately the apocalypse thing happened and her owners died.. she stayed in her house where it was safe until she ran out of food. when she finally left, she immediately ran into the group of stray cats Asteria was part of! unfortunately the leader who took Asteria in had died by that time, and his very jealous and snotty daughter took over. she promised Lepus the group would keep her safe as long as Lepus found them a safe place to escape to. Lepus didn't know shit, and accidentally led them to a beach, with a good view of the fighting gods. oops! leader got pissed, started a chase after Lepus, and woah! Clockaby shows up suddenly when Lepus is cornered, killing the leader (he didn't really mean to though.. uh, whoops? /lh). turns out Clockaby was a little canine shaped hourglass that the first ever god gave life to, but only awakening when the world was in danger (that god knew these 2 gods would fuck shit up lmao), so he knew how to get everyone out of there. the 3 then decided to find and lead as many as they could there!

AWWWW LEPUS! She's so sweet! BRO that leader was way too mean to her >:o Clockaby to the rescue! I love the description for him, ehehehe very curious how he'd look if you draw him in the future! Everything going downhill when two gods screwing everything up, bonking them both and sending them to permanent timeout.

#arianswer #cowardlychimera #i love the lore and everything for your ocs!#it's all really cool and the world theyre in too! :D

PT monster quiz results

If you’ve taken this quiz you’ll know that I wrote a fairly long description and drew something for every single possible result. What you might not know is that there are fourteen of those results. I’ve seen a couple people go through and try to get different results, but I’d imagine it’d take a while to get all of them, so here’s a masterpost for them! (I recommend you take the actual quiz first though)

Frankencreature

Oh, the tragedy of a frankencreature. Not too many of you, sewn together and thrust into a world that doesn’t want them. Did Victor Frankenstein know what he started, creating that first creature and inadvertently creating “franken” as a prefix in the English language? Maybe you can ask that first creature, he’ll probably be a bit more open to you than most, similar backstory and all. I’ve heard he might be somewhere at this sanctuary. Most frankencreatures are fairly different from each other, considering most scientists only get around to making one and tend to try to keep their methods to themselves. There is one thing that ties you all together though, and that’s… the issues.

Zombie

The rot consumes yet sustains you. It’s an effort to keep lucid, but you try your best. It’s dangerous, being a zombie. Not many people know about the existence of monsters, but many of the ones who do know that sending you back to your grave is the best way to prevent a full blown zombie apocalypse. Not that you want an apocalypse! It’s hard enough holding on to what consciousness you have left now. Sanctuary will, hopefully, be a place where you can find a more reliable support system. And maybe you can just hang out with the other undead monsters. They can’t become even more undead even if you do slip up a bit.

Gorgon

There are a lot of old monsters out there, immortality seems to be a trait that’s more common than not. Still, you’re probably one of the oldest out of them all, being a gorgon. They’re hundreds of years old? Try thousands. You’ve seen a lot, you generally know how it goes by now, but the idea of a monster sanctuary is a new one. Sanctuary from what, you have to ask. Humans? Hilarious. But hey, it could be fun, you’ll try it out. Maybe monsters are a bit squishier nowadays, your mythos is a bit outdated, after all.

Mummy

Mummies can come about in a few ways, all that’s required is some sort of preserving force. There are bog mummies, ice mummies… You know. Of course, they aren’t all undead. That’d be silly! No, usually some sort of displacement or desecration is involved in that. If I were to guess, you’re probably on some sort of journey, looking to recover the peace that was stolen from you, to return to your home, your final resting spot. Hopefully this’ll be an enjoyable detour, the sanctuary. Maybe you’ll find a temporary home in it, at least.

Werewolf

You know what sucks about being a werewolf? Everything you’ve ever seen about werewolves has told you that the wolf thing only happens once a month… But nope! Apparently no one who’s made popular werewolf media has actually known a werewolf, because it turns out wolfy shit happens whenever the moon is out. The fuller the moon is the more wolf you are, on a scale from wolfgirl to furry to a full on wolf. It’s THE WORST. Except, well. Okay. It’s kind of really cool. And hey, maybe at this sanctuary place you can get a better handle on things? You don’t want to accidentally bite another eight year old. At least I don’t think you do.

Vampire

Vampires definitely have a reputation. It’s not a bad reputation, and might not even be completely inaccurate for yourself, but you don’t think that weird old vampire who pretends to be a doctor and used to carry around a bunch of leeches back when that was more of a thing would really fit the usual archetype. Really, it feels like people almost forget that vampires are undead. You died, but you didn’t stay dead! Whoops! Can’t kill you! Except in the various specific ways you can be killed that are fairly well known. Maybe that’s why you’re going to that sanctuary.

Clown (real)

When confronted with the sight of three talented performers without their full faces of fanciful makeup, a wise man exclaimed “well I thought you were all real, genuine clowns!” to which they replied “dude, clowns aren’t real.” Oh how wrong they were, because clowns are real, and you’re one of them! Your disguise is clever, but you’ve made your way to sanctuary regardless. Did boredom drive you? A premonition, perhaps? Regardless, being alongside the supernatural may be a good distraction from the general rising fear of clowns.

Ghost

You linger for a reason, I’m sure. There always is one. One can’t help but wonder, though, what that reason has to do with sanctuary. Perhaps you’re simply following the haunt, maybe reasons have shifted. Maybe lingering means something else, now. Do you even remember? It’s rude to speculate, I suppose. Especially with a ghost. I hope you find whatever you’re looking for.

Homunculus

It had been centuries since anyone had attempted to create a miniature human through alchemical means before you came around, and sometimes you wonder if there was more to that than a simple decline in the art of alchemy to begin with. It’s not the worst thing, at least you think there’s worse fates, but being around ten inches tall isn’t the best. And existing is a recent development you’re still kind of getting used to. Does everyone go through that? You think they must, because they all exist, but you feel like you might be missing something… Oh well. At least now you’ve made it all the way to the “monster sanctuary,” whatever that means. Maybe you’ll figure it out there.

Time skeleton

In some sort of distant future, a bunch of skeletons emerge from their graves, reanimated with the power of time travel. Why? Well, if you know the answer to that, you aren’t really allowed to say. Don’t want to start another time skeleton war, do you? Maybe you do. I wouldn’t recommend it though, they can be kind of obnoxious and end up getting everywhere. Every gathering of monsters needs its own local time skeleton, those are the rules. In this case, at this monster sanctuary, it looks like it’s you.

Jackalope

Jackalopes aren’t “just” a jackrabbit with antlers, they’ve also been recently voted as one of the top 10 best monsters to invite to a party. Congrats! Maybe you yourself aren’t exactly a party animal, but hey, those things are pretty hyperspecific anyways. Sometimes it’s just cool to hang out with a weird bunny. If nothing else, a monster sanctuary is probably a pretty good place to hang out as a weird bunny. Have fun! Make some friends! Have a few drinks! Kick ass at karaoke!

Haunting house

Not to be confused with a haunted house, a haunting house is the one doing the haunting. Haunting what? A person, usually. There are many ways for a house to haunt, but considering this quiz is all about going somewhere, presumably yours is one that’s a bit more mobile. You have your reasons to haunt, I’m sure. Revenge? Frustration? Boredom? It doesn’t really matter, in the end. Just make sure you don’t get all structurally jealous of the sanctuary itself.

Evil scientist

I know, I know, evil can be a harsh word. It’s not your fault you’re so curious, monsters are fascinating! Fascinating and shy. And usually not too willing to volunteer as a test subject. But you can work with that, you can work with just about anything, what, with ethics out of the way! Follow your dreams, friend, and don’t get yourself kicked out of the sanctuary before you can finish your work!

Employee of the CSPDC’s Department of Outstanding Threats (DOT)

This is the monster hunter result, to be clear. If you’re disappointed, get in line. Studies show that the Center for Special Pathology and Direct Control’s vague and predatory recruitment tactics has led to many of their employees being put out about where they’ve ended up. Don’t worry though, it’s also extremely hard to leave once you’ve been recruited due to all of the confidential material you now know! If you’re someone who actually does find the idea of monster hunting attractive, that’s great! You really lucked your way into your dream job, didn’t you?

Poly Villain Deku x Reader X Dabi HC’S

I’ll come back and title this something more creative when I think of a better name for it. These got pretty long...whoops- What do I even tag this as???

A/N: As per usual, all characters including the reader are aged up 21+ in this. First time writing for Dabi. Hope you enjoy my niche interests as much as I do!

***

-How this happened is beyond the three of you. You’re an unlikely pair match for sure; not even the three of you saw this coming. Although maybe you should have, considering how it happened?

-It all started when Deku dragged you into the mess that was the League of Villains. After you joined and got to know him better the two of you started dating.

-But at the same time, you got oddly close to Dabi without even really trying to. Maybe it was the fact that your personalities were a little similar, but you actually managed to get him to talk sometimes and the two of you ended up becoming unlikely friends.

-You and Dabi banter back and forth a lot playfully but there was always a sort of tension under the surface of your friendship that you never really talked about. Sometimes it would even lead to arguments between the two of you. You could be jokingly calling each other names one moment and then all of the sudden you might be right up in his face, quirk or weapon at your ready while his fingers are spouting blue flames.

-Izuku would often break it up before it turned into anything serious but he swears sometimes the two of you might kill each other.

-Deku always got along fairly well with Dabi. And because of the chemistry between the three of you, you often get sent on missions or jobs together. Over the course of time, you slowly get to learn more about each other and discover little things that are unique to each of you.

-For example, your personal hobby or past time that you entertained yourself with when you weren’t busy with the league. In Deku’s case it was the story behind the single emerald stud in his ear (he claims it was his mother’s). For Dabi...well. He was always somewhat mysterious, and you don’t get much out of him anyways, but he talk more often when he’s alone with the two of you, and that’s enough for now.

-The real start of it all though was when Deku got sent out on a solo job for a few days alone. As soon as he leaves, you’re left lonely and without even realizing it, you end up getting a little more cozy with Dabi than you probably should.

-After a lowkey night, accidentally falling asleep against him, and spending the night in his room, it hits you both that the unspoken tension you’re always feeling around each other is, in fact, because you have feelings for each other. Something just clicks and now you can’t not see it. Naturally this only makes things escalate. It gets so bad that Shigaraki has to step in and hold you back from obliterating Dabi while the latter is just laughing at you and your attempts to murder him.

-You try to ignore him for the rest of the time Deku is away. None of that matters when Deku comes back though because the second he does, Dabi is up in your space trying to stir shit up and pick a fight with you, and it works. Before your boyfriend can even put a stop to this one, you end up in a brawl with Dabi.

-It takes both Deku and Shigaraki to separate the two of you, but not before you got a good few hits on each other. Somehow though, when he’s got you pinned under him and his hand is at your throat menacingly, you feel some of the tension drain. If it wasn’t obvious before then, it’s obvious now. There are clearly feelings that neither of you want to talk about.

-Later when you’re alone with Deku, he’s the first to bring it up. He’s not an idiot; he can see you pining after Dabi clear as day. But rather than be offended or jealous, he suggests something else entirely that surprises the both of you, if you’re being honest. Why not date both of them?

-The relationship between the three of you is...unique to say the least. At first it’s more of you dating both of them at the same time and them tolerating each other, but over time they grow closer.

-You catch them on multiple occasions sharing food and taking naps together. Not that they’re cuddly, but the fact that they trust each other enough to sleep unguarded in the same room says a lot.

-Sometimes it’s only you and Deku spending time together, other times it’s only you and Dabi, and sometimes it’s all three of you. Date nights are frequent when you don’t have work to do and mostly consist of video games and food with a healthy side of cuddles.

-Games get extremely competitive. Mario Kart somehow always gets chosen and it’s nothing short of sheer chaotic violence. Compress and Twice have banged on your door multiple times and have yelled at the three of you to keep it down. You will not. Not then, not now, not ever. It’s all or nothing.

-You have a winning streak at first. Dabi’s coming in second, and Deku is...well, he’s straggling in 5th. Dabi is cursing up a storm, Deku is growling, and you’re just sitting there with a smug smile on your face as you fly through the finish line. “FUCK!” “Shit! Fourth!? This is bullshit!” “Ha! Fuck you both!” Dabi throws his controller and almost breaks the damn thing, and Deku looks like he’s about to smash his to pieces.

-”I’m gonna kick your fucking ass, Y/N!” His threat is not unwarranted, and before you know it he really is kicking your ass. And to make matters worse, Deku is slowly catching up to you as well. You end up coming in second, and you don’t get your winning streak back after that. Dabi’s a sore loser, so it really can’t be helped; he would have cheated by pushing you or Deku to the floor or not so subtly bumping into you on “accident”. It wouldn’t be the first time he’s done it...

-COD Zombies might also be a popular choice. It’s somehow less violent than Mario Kart but that still doesn’t stop the three of you from yelling out like you’re actually in a zombie apocalypse. “Y/N, get the door to the right!” “Then watch my back, Dabi!” Of course Deku volunteers to do so instead. “I got it, I won’t let them touch you.”

-Cuddles aren’t your typical cuddles with your two boyfriends. Deku is particularly clingy and possessive when it comes to you, so he constantly has his arms around you whenever you allow. Dabi can’t really explain it, but seeing the two of you like that makes him feel the need to be involved, so then it turns into a sort of competition to see who can cling to you the most. It’s ridiculous, really.

-Most of the time it ends with the three of you crashing in Dabi’s bed with empty snack wrappers and pop cans littered around the room. You get sandwiched in the middle of Deku and Dabi; Deku likes when you snuggle up against him and bury your face in his shirt, and Dabi prefers holding you from behind. The funny thing about this is that Dabi usually isn’t cuddling you when you fall asleep, but you somehow wake up with his arms wrapped around you every single time, without fail.

-Small arguments happen from time to time, mostly between the two boys. It’s always over silly things, like who took the last slice of pizza or what game you’re going to play. Somehow it doesn’t surprise you that Dabi is always the one who starts them, and it’s equally as unsurprising that you’re always the go-to for making final decisions. “Don’t put this on me! Can’t you two figure it out?” “Yes!” “No.”

-Both Deku and Dabi can be insanely flirtatious when they want. Don’t be surprised if they make a bet on who can get you flustered the most. And neither of them back down from a challenge, so...take that as you will.

-When one isn’t around, you’ll always have the other to rely on. It’s hard to deal with sometimes, but the occasional solo job does happen. Dabi is more than willing to keep you warm when Deku’s not around and vise versa. If you happen to be the one who leaves on a job, you might come back to find them passed out on the floor together in an awkward mess of limbs and bedhead.

-It’s funny, really; Dabi seems almost annoyed, like he’s trying to pull away from Deku who’s absolutely clinging to him for dear life. They’re both asleep, but still the same as ever.

-Jump on them. Please. It’s payback for all the shenanigans they’ve put you through.

-Assuming you joined in their small cuddle pile, one snuggles right up to you and the other just casually relaxes into you. The world just feels right again.

-It might be a mismatch, but it works somehow. It’s the best thing that the three of you have in this cruel world. But you can make it through as long as you have each other.

Top 5 Missed Opportunities in 400 Days

Hey, remember when TWDG Season One ended and we were a group of emotional messes? Remember when Season Two was announced and we were gonna get a DLC to bridge S1 and S2 together and we were extra excited for everything to come? Because I do.

To be fair, I truly did enjoy 400 Days when it first came out years ago, and it’s not like I hate it now or anything... I just can’t help but look at it and see wasted potential on every level-- the characters and their development, the stories, the impact our choices made for the future...

The concept of 400 Days-- a collection of stories that follow different protagonists and the situations they find themselves in within the zombie apocalypse that eventually connect to one another-- is a great one. I love the idea of mini-episodes that are all connected, and one choice you made in one episode affects the next episode you play... so what happened? Why does it fall flat now when we look back on it?

Well, a major reason for me is the fact that all four seasons of the main game are complete. When 400 Days came out, we didn’t have S2, so we didn’t know what our choices meant. That lead to us theorizing about what would happen if we got everyone to go with Tavia, or what would happen if no one but Bonnie went. Why was Bonnie the only one who agrees no matter what? What could that mean?

And we have those answers now, and it’s a let down... especially when it could’ve been so much better. That’s what I wanna talk about today. I wanna talk about what I think are the biggest missed opportunities in 400 Days.

5. Giving Shel and her dumb sister actual personalities

Of all the stories you can play in 400 Days, Shel’s episode is probably the worst due to the fact that she and her dumb sister lack any memorable qualities or personalities.... which is such a shame because this story also has one of the more interesting moral dilemma’s.

In this story, you play as Shel who is surviving in the diner/gas station with a group that consists of some of the cancer patients from S1. Remember them? They were with Vernon and helped him steal out boat? Yeah, they got away and apparently Vernon died and the group feel apart over the damn boat, but you don’t get much more than that.

Shel has this dumb sister who I can’t be bothered to remember her name because she’s that bland. Her sister is basically Shel’s personality. Take away her sister, and you’re left with nothing.

They’re going for the “Oh man, I don’t know what this world is doing to my dumb sister, it’s changing her, I don’t want her to have to do things like murder, I want her to have a normal childhood,” but that falls flat when they don’t give me a reason to care about them in the first place.

Like I said, the moral dilemma for this one IS interesting-- They catch someone who tried to steal from them. The man is injured pretty bad, and he can’t speak English, so there is no way for them to communicate with him. Roman, the dude who acts as the leader of our group, says that they can’t keep him here but they can’t send him back out there... and that means killing him.

So what do you do? Do you risk it by giving this man a second chance, give him some food and send him on his way and hope he doesn’t come back and do more harm? Or do you kill this man so that there is no risk in him coming back to do harm?

And you as Shel are the swing vote. That’s not an easy choice to make, plus you gotta think about how that choice is gonna affect your dumb sister?

Except it doesn’t really matter.... at all. No matter what you do, Roman still cracks down and wants to murder another member of the group who tries to escape, Shel’s dumb sister is still a brat who talks big but never does anything, and Shel is still a stale piece of white bread.

If they wanted us to care, then give Shel something other than her sister. Maybe they could’ve had her be someone who doesn’t really have a backbone, she tries to avoid conflict and is intimidated by Roman, she doesn’t speak up even when she should, and then her dumb sister could be the opposite-- Loud, take charge, wants to get more involved with protecting the group, isn’t afraid to stand up to Roman which causes him to take her under his wing and wanna turn her into a murder baby... which Shel definitely doesn’t want so what could she do to keep her dumb sister away from him?

If they wanted to tell the story of a woman worried her sister is going to grow up cold and ruthless because of the world around her, then tell that story. Show us that story, show us what happens when you agree to kill the man and now her dumb sister genuinely believes that murder is an easy solution to their problems, so when it comes to the woman who escaped, the dumb sister volunteers to kill her and Roman lets her... and you as Shel gotta decide if you wanna fight that by running away or just let it happen.

I dunno man, but Shel’s story is my least favorite of the bunch because I have no reason to care about either of them, and that’s a waste.

4. Nate’s a shithead so they should’ve used him more

Well, hello again, Nate... we meet once more here on T5F.

So yeah, I’ve talked about this crazy bastard on a previous list about characters no one likes, so you’re probably wondering why I’m saying that he should’ve been around more.

That’s the thing, I hate Nate. He’s gross, he’s brutal, and he’s uncomfortable with those crazy eyes of his... but he would’ve made for a fun antagonist in more of 400 Days, as well as in S2.

Depending on what episode you play first, Nate can either first appear in Wyatt’s story, or Russell’s. In Wyatt’s story, Nate is chasing down him and Eddie after Eddie accidentally killed a guy who was with Nate, and Nate here is chasing them down for some revenge. He eventually finds them, and who ever is left in the car as no choice but to flee, leaving the other behind.

Nate plays a more active part in Russell’s story, picking him off the highway and chatting with him on the way to the diner/gas station, and y’know how Shel has no personality? Well, I think I know where all the personality went because Nate’s got quite a bit of it. He’s one of the more memorable parts of 400 Days for a reason. He has a weird charisma about him, but then he starts talkin’ gross and almost gets Russell’s face eaten off by a walker and you get the idea that this man isn’t quite right, y’know?

Then we make it to the diner/gas station where they get shot at, and Nate insists on finishing this... as in, let’s go in and shoot whoever is shooting us. They sneak in, and the old man there says Nate is back to finish the job... which isn’t great. Nate acts like he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, but then suggests they kill the old couple using a line from the story Russell told her.... y’know, the story that’s kinda triggering for Russell.

At this point, Russell can either tell Nate off and leave, or he can stay where Nate will kill the couple right in front of him and claim that Russell is his boy and it is not great.

We know that either way, Russell gets away from Nate. We never see him again so he could be dead, turned, or alive. All I can think about is the fact that they created the beginnings of a compelling antagonist who could’ve bled over into S2 at Howe’s or even afterward. Like if we showed up at Howe’s and were locked up, only to find Nate locked up with us. Or maybe instead of Arvo, Nate could’ve been the one who stumbled upon Clementine and Jane and was overpowered and threatened by them... only for him to stalk them and confront them about what happened.

Either way, there was a missed opportunity to do more with Nate.

3. Focusing on the wrong things within Bonnie’s story

Alright, everyone’s favorite: Bonnie.

Bonnie is the only character in 400 Days who actually matters in terms of S2... and even then, her story doesn’t matter too much...which is dumb.

For me, Bonnie’s story is such a waste... like okay, right from the start they establish that Bonnie is a recovering addict, and I’m intrigued. The idea of an addict surviving in the apocalypse while trying to kick the stuff is interesting as hell.... but the story kinda just glosses over it unless Dee is insulting Bonnie by calling her a junkie.

No, the story we got was Bonnie breaking up a marriage. Great.

There’s this dude Leland who has a wife, Dee, but he and Bonnie are getting awfully snug with one another... so that’s real nice. Dee eventually finds them giving each other the look and breaks it up in a passive aggressive way before revealing she found a bag of supplies. This happens to be a bag that she “found” at the diner/gas station where Shel’s group is currently staying.

An argument breaks out between Leland and Dee with Bonnie in the middle and it’s not compelling at all. You can just sit there and do nothing and it doesn’t matter, they continue to fight until Shel’s group spots them and they gotta run.

Bonnie ends up shot and falls behind, and we do get a cool scene where she has to make her way through this cornfield without getting caught. I do like that bit, it’s fun.

But then she gets away, grabs a weapon, and hits someone walking up on her... that someone happened to be Dee. Whoops. Dee calls her a junkie, saying she killed her, and then dies.

Now comes the big choice: Do you tell Leland the truth or lie to cover your ass?

While this is an interesting choice on paper, it doesn’t matter. Leland isn’t with Bonnie in the end no matter what, and Bonnie will always agree to go with Tavia.

Personally, I wanted the fact that she was a recovering addict to be more front and center. Throw Leland and Dee away, have Bonnie travelling on her own. Have her going through withdrawals, show us her struggle of still being hooked on drugs while surviving in the zombie apocalypse... have her stumble across Shel’s group and from a distance, she sees they have medical supplies. She’s so desperate that she sneaks in at night and steals as much as she can, but gets caught.

We could still have her running away through the cornfield with the drugs, she can still get shot and everything... but maybe she’s so desperate for them that she ends up killing one of Shel’s group members, and she sees just what she’s willing to do in order to get these drugs, and you can make a choice of abandoning the drugs and quitting, or taking the drugs and running away... and it could actually affect Bonnie in the ending and into S2.

Plus, her killing one of Shel’s group would help add to the debate in her episode, y’know?

I just... I wanted that story... not what we got.

2. The past is more interesting than the present

This goes hand in hand with #3, but applies to almost everyone else.

All of these characters that we get to play as have more interesting backstories that I was more compelled by than what they’re actually going through in their stories.

The first time we meet Vince, he straight up murders a dude who is pleading for his life, saying he doesn’t even know Vince’s brother. Like... okay, what the hell happened here? What happened to Vince’s brother that made her commit murder like that?

How about Wyatt and Eddie? They’re running from Nate after Eddie killed the guy he was with. They’re panicking, Eddie is covered in the dude’s blood, Wyatt doesn’t know if Eddie meant to shoot or not. You can tell they’re known each other a long time, too. They’re a couple of stoners who got themselves into hot water.

Oh and Russell? His story is interesting as hell! He was in a group where the main guy kept going on about how seven if the perfect number for a group, ya can’t break seven, and this group eventually started killing so they could steal, so Russell got away and is now on his way to find his grandmother’s place.

Once again... Bonnie is a recovering drug addict in the apocalypse.

The only one without an interesting backstory is Shel... which I guess is fitting. The boring character doesn’t even get a fun backstory, she just exists.

It’s not a good sign when I’m more interested in the past, y’know? Vince’s I can give a bit of a pass to because he killed that guy before the apocalypse broke out, and his dilemma takes place right at the start, and it’s done pretty well.

Everyone else though? I already explained Bonnie’s, but what about Russell and his seven group? We could’ve gotten that story of a group that starts out good, the guys gives his philosophy on the dumber seven, Russell meets that one girl... but then things start to grow dark when the group starts to become desperate enough to murder and steal, the guy keeps going on about the number seven so they can’t invite anyone in, and they can’t let anyone go... so Russell has to sneak away or something.

Wyatt and Eddie? Show ‘em there when Nate and his buddy show up. Give us the tension of “are these guys chill or are they planning something?” when Eddie gets into a fight with the other dude and ends up shooting him, Nate gets pissed, and they gotta flee. Wyatt doesn’t know if Eddie shot him intentionally or not, it’s a whole, thing and they can still hit the cop and do that whole thing, too.

I just... I think problem is the stories were a bit too compact and short, not giving the characters a chance to develop or the stories enough compel to them.

1. It doesn’t matter who goes to Howe’s or not and that’s dumb

Sigh..... so yeah, obviously this is #1.

My biggest problem with 400 Days is that is doesn’t affect much. Even Bonnie’s story doesn’t affect what she does in S2.

As for the rest, if you only got Bonnie at Howe’s, then the rest and their fate’s are unknown. But if you do manage to get everyone to go with Tavia, they are at Howe’s... the problem is, they show up in small cameos that literally do nothing.

Ya got Wyatt who walks past Clementine like “Dude you better hurry, Bill doesn’t like to wait” like.... what, am I just supposed to get excited and point at him like “oooohhh I know him! I know him! That Wyatt! Hehehehe!” because I didn’t do that...

Or Vince randomly showing up to catch Tavia smoking, or Shel and her dumb sister making a comment about Sarah, it’s just dumb.

And then Howe’s falls and their fates are left unknown anyway.... so it didn’t matter.

I’ll just say what most of us were thinking.... Why weren’t they the cabin group? No, seriously, why weren’t the 400 Day’s crew the cabin group? Because it was too hard given the fact that there are so many combos? That’s fair, but if that’s the case, then what was the point of 400 Days?

Did they just want to tell a bunch of smaller stories within this world but never actually planned on using them outside of fun cameos in S2, with the exception of Bonnie? That probably is the case... and I think my disappointment in 400 Days does stem from being in the fandom at the time and getting hyped to see what they would do with these characters, only for it to be this.

Not only that, but then I started to think about how they could’ve done with game but with the actual cabin group from S2. Luke, Nick, Pete could’ve had their own story dealing with Nick’s mom getting bit after they took in a bite victim.

Rebecca and Alvin could’ve had a story about their marriage kinda falling apart despite them trying hard, and this could help make her affair with Carver make more sense.

Carlos and Sarah could have a story that explains Carlos’ over protectiveness and as well as explore Sarah as a character.

Hell, give Mike a story.

Give JANE a story about her and Jaime so that her appearing outta no where isn’t jarring, and develops her and the reasons she treats survival the way she does.

There was so much they could’ve done with this idea... and to be honest, if we ever get another game in this series, I would love it in this style but expanded into a season where each episode follows a different character and tells a different story, but in the end they all end up connecting. There is SO MUCH you can do with that!

But alas..... 400 Days for me is full of missed opportunities and I wish it wasn’t.

---

Honorable Mentions

-Eddie only appeared in Wyatt’s episode and then disappeared until his death in S4.... Eddie’s great, should’ve been around more. -Would’ve been nice if the cancer group from S1 was expanded on, give more context to what the hell happened to Vernon and the boat, y’know? -a bit more development for Tavia would’ve been nice, as well... she just kinda shows up at the end and recruits who she can.

---

So what are your thoughts on 400 Days? Do you agree with these missed opportunities, or have any to add? Lemme know, it’s always fun to chat.

I tragically accidentally unfollowed you trying to send this ask - you are now no longer one of my earliest mutuals whoops. Early Grey Tea

oh nooo!

okay, so i think my best bet in a zombie apocalypse is to just avoid it. like, if someone has a sort of organized way of keeping a community safe, ill totally pitch in and join, but im aware that I don't have the capabilities to start one, so im probably just scooping up whatever loved ones I can find and booking it to my parents' house in the middle of nowhere. everyone is very far apart out there and there are farms and i just think the zombies would have a difficult time in the woods up there. (I say, as if I know what zombies are actually going to be like.)

I feel like the biggest danger would be food hoarders and people getting really fucking weird looking for scapegoats more than actual zombie based danger. but yeah, hunkering down w people I love seems like the best way to spend the end times.

#micewithknives #ask #this took some thought but tbh ill probably die in a zombie apocalypse scenario #im ill prepared #though maybe just staying in boston would be safest? my house has a lot of stairs involved that i dont think zombies could navigate #but if theyre the dead rising from graves then im fucked bc we're next to the forest hills cemetery

i want to hear about your pokemon ideas!

oh man this is a dangerous question bc i am about to go OFF so i'll just leave this in a read more. also keep in mind i have only played platinum, moon/ultra moon, sword, and a little bit of red and lets go eevee, so if i accidentally steal something from another game whoops. also i do have a lot of inspiration from the games i played here anyway since i am less knowledgeable abt pokemon than most people but anyway here we go

setting: several years prior to the start of the game, as low as 18 or high as 100 years (i have specific reasons for that) this region was very prosperous with many young people moving in all the time to get a headstart on a successful life. the region is known for being nearly a perfect circle and there are 18 areas of the region, each corresponding to a different type. dead center is normal type, maybe i'll make a map later if i get more interested. by the time the story takes place however, the region has become uninhabitable and anyone who didn't evacuate died. for now im calling it Ebril

legendary: part of what once made ebril so prosperous was the presence of their legendary. idk the exact type of creature it is but it was worshipped as a god and protected the land. however an unknown sickness fell over it and it let out an explosion of energy across the whole region that turned each area into a hellscape. for example, the water region completely flooded over; the grass region sprouted dangerous plants everywhere that so much as touching them could kill a person; the fire region literally just lit up on fire and hasn't burned out, and so on. not only this but the air of the whole place is toxic, though the poison air is like 5 times worse. after this explosion the legendary disappeared, and ebril was completely abandoned. it's later revealed that the legendary has died.

characters: at the start of the game there are few people in the region. in fact there are exactly 4, and they all flew in from different regions.

the leader is one Professor Pine, a young professor from wherever the fuck probably new york with ancestors from ebril. she's always been fascinated with the region and decided to start figuring out a way to fix the place and make it habitable again. with her studies she figures out there's a chance to save it and so she contacts the professors of all regions with the request to help, though only 3 other people were sent in to help due to the dangers of this journey.

the player character(s) are both present in the game, a pair of twins named Jade and Grey. their names are puns on the word jaded and the phrase old and gray. the twins hail from kanto, the region the first games took place in iirc, and the player character u choose went on a pokemon journey at age 10. at present time they are anywhere around 18-20 bc theres no way any reasonable person is gonna let a minor into this apocalyptic region. the twin you don't choose at age 10 rather than taking a pokemon journey started working as an assistant to Professor Oak, and as an adult starts studying to become the next professor. the twin you choose had their journey and got all the way through until the elite 4 which they never beat, and for several years in frustration swore off battling. eventually they couldn't resist the call to the world of pokemon they used to love and they start working as an assistant alongside their twin. when Oak is contacted by Pine he initially refuses to help, but the twins find out and volunteer to go. Oak doesn't want them to but in the end he doesn't stop them.

the fourth member of the expedition is the former champion of some region who just got knocked off their throne by some 10 year old. they serve as the rival of this game. like the twins they found out about this expedition and with nothing better to do they decided to join in just to Feel Something. unlike the twins they never told anyone they were going.

starters: at the beginning the starter is actually either charizard, venusaur, or wartortle. after all this is kanto and the player did go on the journey. the twin has the pokemon that is weak to the player and the rival has the type that is strong against it. however Pine advises against bringing the actual starters bc the environment might be dangerous. however, as someone with ancestors from ebril, she does happen to have some baby pokemon native to the region, of course of the classic typings. seeing as how none of the pokemon in the region were much affected by the changes in atmosphere so she knows it's safe to bring them.

story: the expedition starts when Pine through remote studies discovers an energy wave coming from the center of ebril, one she hypothesizes is similar to the energy that destroyed the region in the first place. at this point in time no one knows the original legendary has died, but this leads Pine to wonder if the legendary is gathering the energy after their sickness and thinks maybe it has the power to reverse the damage. she develops hazmat suits that should be able to endure most of the terrain of the land but isn't 100% sure on their durability. with all the preparations she can do, Pine and co set out to land in the dead center of ebril

once there they discover a giant crater right at the center, and at the bottom is an egg. the egg is the source of the energy wave, and they think maybe it houses a baby legendary. the player character is the first to approach the egg and the moment they get near it, the egg hatches, revealing a baby pokemon. it bears a resemblance to the legendary so they assume it is indeed the child of the former legendary, and also it's fucking adorable. whenever i picture it i think of kubfu or toxel bc theyre both Baby so it definitely is shaped similarly. after study its found that surprisingly, this baby is normal type. they're confused because while there are conflicting accounts on what the legendary's typing was, there's an agreement that it's something like psychic or fairy or dragon. however, once the baby is right next to the starter of the player, it suddenly changes to the same type. they experiment with the other starters and find that the baby pokemon does change type depending on its environment, but cannot be more than one type at a time. it defaults to normal if its kept in a neutral environment away from other pokemon. basically it's kinda like silvally

and so they're all in the direct center of ebril which represents normal type and thus the only thing wrong with it is the toxic atmosphere, however Pine theorizes that the baby has the ability to fix areas due to the type changing. she comes up with two hypotheses: either bringing the baby into say the water area will turn it into a water type and it will be able to fix the place with the typing, or if you enter the water area while the baby is a type that is strong against water like grass or electric that can help overpower it and thus reverse the damage of the area. they don't have a fighting type with them so they can't test this theory about weaknesses right in the area they're in so they can only test the first theory, and of course it doesn't work out. and so the first part of the journey starts

each member of the expedition is given a role. Pine remains at base camp and does research there, the twin ventures out to observe the pokemon and how they've changed since the apocalypse, the rival does something or other idk i havent thought abt that, and the player takes the baby to try to heal each area. the first area visited is of course the area that is weak to their starter, so grass if it was fire, fire if it was water, and water if it was grass. these three areas surround the center of course so it works out. and just like Pine hypothesized, when the baby is the strong type in this area the surrounding radius of it and thus the player is completely safe.

in the journey the player discovers healing spots that work as a pokemon center, these spots are named an oasis. the player also encounters some of the wild pokemon which have grown feral and dangerous over time, so they're unable to catch them at the moment. some point in their journey they discover some other spot similar to an oasis, however it emits a strong energy similar to what the baby emits but on a higher scale, and when the baby is placed in the spot the whole area returns to the way it used to be. and so that becomes the goal: to travel to each area with the baby and fix them with this power spot. also every time the baby sits in a power spot it gains the ability to change to the typing of the area at will. also i should mention the baby is carried around in one of those baby backpacks bc i think that would be adorable.

the world is more or less completely open, the player can travel to any area as long as long as they're wearing a hazmat suit, but the area can only be fixed if the baby has been in an area that is strong to another area and so on.

and yeah thats abt what ive got, i havent thought too hard abt stuff like an evil team or whatever but maybe i will one day who knows. thanks for asking and if u read all the way to the end thank u!

Ok but H7 going to the past is one thing... How about Penn going to the past?

There's another briefcase Five and Reader are safeguarding but before they can hide it away, Reader and Five are called away (could be a mission but my personal fav idea is that the Hargreeves and H8 are causing a commotion about something and Reader and Five have to go deal with it). Penn is too young to not know to touch it and Reader and Five thought he wouldn't be able to anyway since he was asleep when they left it in the room for literally 2 seconds while they go to deal with their obnoxious family. But Penn wakes up cuz of the noise and what would a toddler be if not curious so Penn goes to the big black box and fiddles with it and WHOOP he's in the past. Now the options for *which* part of the past is interesting cuz it could be:

A) Teen!UA. They see this little kid emerge from one of the rooms and are literally *shocked pikachu faces* cuz HOW? WHERE? HUH? These teens have never even met a baby before and then he starts crying and asking for Mommy and Daddy but who even are his parents? How did he even get in the house? But it's Vanya who notices that the little boy has A LOT of young Five's features (it's sort of creepy honestly) and for a moment they all wonder if this isn't Five himself except of course it isn't and then Penn probably accidently phases through something and then Ben figures it out and they all realize it's Five and Reader's son and just... Chaos.

Cue the Teen!UA hiding Penn from Reginald because they absolutely WILL NOT let their abusive father touch their nephew until Five and Reader come to get him back.

B) Penn appears at a time after Reader comes back to the past and she has the same reaction to coming across the toddler in the house as Teen!UA would but then the toddler looks like her and old childhood pictures of Five (there aren't many but Grace did take a few without Reggie knowing) and then eventually Reader and Five come to get Penn obviously. They're beside themselves with worry in any timeline he appears in and young!Reader gets to see herself and Five but older but is happy cuz that means he finally came back to her and the fact that they have a son means they're together which means her Five who's still stuck in the future does love her back too.

C) Penn appears during the apocalypse time period when Five is running around trying to fix things and it causes even more chaos than usual because on top of everything there's this unknown baby to deal with. Allison is the most adept at caring for children obviously cuz of Clair and then Five comes home and Reader already is home and then Penn recognizes his mom and dad even if they look a little different and runs to them. Cue Reader and Five blushing because WHAT? Penn refuses to leave their side tho and this (alternate timeline) apocalypse is averted simply because Allison calls Vanya over to tease Five and Reader see her nephew and Penn leads to Hargreeves family bonding time which greatly helps them not kill each other and Penn really loves his Auntie Vanya and that just really helps Vanya feel better about herself and that she matters so luckily she doesn't accidentally kill the whole world.

I was just reading through the H7 in the past asks and then the idea of Penn going to the past crossed my mind. Originally the idea I had was of it being teen!Penn who goes back but then toddler Penn is cuter just made more sense and the comedy aspect is amped up no matter which timeline you choose. I just couldn't fix on ONE time where he could go because there's a lot to unpack in wherever part of the timeline he ends up and each has its own chaotic hilarity to elaborate on so I decided to mention all three to let everyone decide which they like best.

Awww all of these are so cute! Honestly, Penn would be adorable in any of these situations because he’s just so small and loveable. But you mentioned Teen!Penn accidentally traveling through time gave me an idea. Like, imagine he asked Five to teach him how to jump through time and they had just accomplished seconds and Five was so proud. Five says they can move onto minutes and Penn just gets so excited from making his dad proud that he accidentally jumps far back in time by accident and meets the Teen!UA. And this could go a couple of ways too.

1) He jumps back to pre-Five running away and now he’s there with the complete teen!UA plus the reader and has to tread on eggshells to not mess up the timeline with them because his existence depends on it

2) post-Five running away so it’s the Teen!UA minus Five. They’re so confused as to who Penn is and Penn being the child of the reader and Five just ignores them and is like:

Penn: [looking at Five’s portrait over the fire] So that’s the portrait that mom hated so much.

Teen!Allison: What? Our mom doesn’t hate that portrait.

Teen!Diego: [mumbles] I do...

Penn: Not your mom. Mine. She’s right, it looks nothing like dad. His eyes are brighter and he should have a more cocky smile.

Teen!Luther: Dad? Wait...Five is your dad?

Penn: Yeah.

Teen!Ben: So who’s your mom?

Penn: Uh, his wife. (Reader) Hargreeves.

Teen!UA: Holy shit...

When Uncle Shigaraki says you can get the new FPS game... Here yall, have a dumb au while I work on real life projects. Yall know the drill with this one. Dabihawks child, raised... I guess half in the spotlight and half vigilante. His name is Kaze Takami. He has a sparrow’s fast flight style, and natural ginger-ish hair. He’s a music boy in my head?? Wings big, many thoughts. His hair is fluffy...... to hold secrets! Anyway, the concept my gremlin brain came up with for his quirk and story is below the break.

So, Endewhore used his children as a breeding program, essentially. To make the perfect hero (like the awful bitch he is). My goblin side said, ‘yes, this is true, but what if fate got the last laugh?’

‘What if Kaze was the perfect blend of Hawks and Dabi at basically full power?’ So, he hatches with wings and will one day be able to fly, his dads know this. They discover that he can’t control the feathers, no big. I mean, it’s not like Dabi and Hawks are pushing the kid to do anything in particular. Dabi doesn’t want to be his father (Dabi is touya todoroki you cant change my mind) and Hawks doesn’t give a damn. They just want him to be HAPPY ok.

And then one day, Dabi has toddler (like 2) Kaze on his lap and is entertaining him with just a bit of fire, when Kaze reaches forward and straight up grabs his dad’s flaming fingers.

Naturally, Dabi freaks a bit and turns off the fire, thinking he’s just burned his kid, and then... Kaze’s looking at him like ‘why did you stop?’

This leads to experimentation, which leads to Dabi realizing his kid is fireproof. Like, even the feathers. Everything’s fireproof. And considering that Hawks has mentioned his biggest weakness is fire... this is a big deal. Their kid’s fireproof. Wow.

A year or so later, they discover later that Kaze can at sharpen the leading edge feathers. Sweet, that’s cool! They gotta be careful about the couches now, but Hawks is teaching him to be careful. That’s great.

It’s not until Kaze is five and his first set of flight feathers grow in, that the rest of his quirk begins to show, even after Hawks and Dabi thought he was done surprising them.

They expected his wings to be a pure white, but instead, he has these odd black markings that look sort of like flames on the dorsal side. Kaze thinks they’re great, Hawks thinks they’re great, Dabi really isn’t sure what this means, but he thinks it’s great.

Annnnnd then Kaze accidentally lights the couch on fire.

Turns out, the black spots are used to generate flames. Very, very hot blue flames. That Kaze can flap his wings to direct and push around, creating gigantic cones or tornadoes of fire. Whoops, no more keeping the parentage secret, Hawks.

The downside of Kaze’s multi-level quirk - which they name Firestorm - is that only his wings can do all the work. He can’t direct the fire with his hands. That’s ok, they can teach him anyway.

And then the Commission starts to come down on Hawks. Hard.

They want Hawks back under their control. They want to take Kaze and do the same thing they did to Hawks, to him. Hawks out and out refuses, and then realizes what he just did.

He panics to Dabi, because they’re gonna take our son away, they’re gonna take me away, what do we do...

And Dabi, in all his glorious thoughts, tells him that they’re moving in with the League.

For a moment, Hawks is shocked.

When he first revealed the egg to Dabi, the two formed a semi-dysfunctional relationship that fell apart for a tiny bit, resulting in Dabi telling Hawks that he knew Hawks was a spy the whole time, and Hawks being surprised that Dabi let him stick around. Now they’re properly together, even if their lives together are chaos.

That aside, Hawks is still surprised that Dabi would trust him enough to just... take him to move in with the League.

Which is exactly what Dabi does.

So the two escape. Dabi takes his ‘family’ and runs to the League - which is a found family fight me - and Hawks becomes a vigilante, more or less. And Kaze, chaos that be, is raised by villains.

That’s pretty much what I got so far. Haven’t decided much else yet.

Inspired a lot by @butterfly-apocalypse‘s spectacular dabihawks fic? Because I... crave more of it.

This was meant to be a goddamn warmup sketch and now it isn’t.

#bhna #bhna dabi #bhna hawks #dabihawks #dabihawks child #spiralledtalks #my art #Kaze Takami #vigilante hawks #eventually #maybe ill write this one day #I should #dabi x hawks #pro hero hawks #dabi #dabi is touya #change my mind #dabihawks lovechild

charactersssss (a constant wip)

annie morris … twenty-five. currently haunted by her paintings and doodles. how embarrassing! waitress, artist, medicated for an illness she doesn’t has. is actually just from a bloodline of cursed female creative types. more info can be found @tghluck. (fc: mary elizabeth winstead)

edward ainsley … sixteen years old, is actually fifty-seven, vegan vampire. utterly disliked by his vampiric peers due to his being turned into a vampire in his youth, rendered sixteen years old for life. has a tendency towards alcoholism in order to silence his cravings for blood since he deems vampirism altogether unethical. more info found @pastytwat (fc: craig roberts)

robbie moore … fifty. always one of those too big for his own boots kinda guys – one of the ‘i’m jumping ship as soon as hit eighteen’ types. that’s what he did, and that’s when he absolutely fucked it. ran his mouth too loud for too long and ruined any chances he had anywhere he went. robbie is a writer but his unwillingness to compromise with his work leaves him unable to find any real place in the industry. an absolute self publishing expert. to pay the bills he’s an english teacher but there’s no real passion for it. he came back to his hometown after struggling his way around the country and settled down in a marriage with his high school sweetheart that turned sour quickly. the pair never had children and were heading to a painful divorce when his wife passed away suddenly. years down the line and he’s still trying to wrap his head around it. jesus fuck this guy.

tara shaw … thirty-four. owner of SHAWSPB, an independent publishing company ran (run? past tense…? it’s confusing) by one tara shaw, someone who needs to work on her social skills. as it seems, you can actually only reject so many people so many times before it bites you in the ass. more specifically (and more accurately), you can only reject so many people so meanly after you fire the companies’ reader because they’ve let one too many trashy reads out of the slush pile and you have to start wading through the heaving thing yourself. opening manuscripts seemed well and good and safe enough because all you’d be facing is words that were crappy in a worst case scenario, until late one night, you stumble upon something that a sour faced rejectee (yes, one that landed themselves with a personalised handwritten and very specific rejection from the woman herself) gets their pages in the pile. tara opens it and finds that it’s no story at all. it’s a string of nonsense – words that don’t exist, script she’s not sure she’s ever seen before, but transfixed on the page, tara shaw reads the thing front to back and the second she puts the papers down is hurtled into the space time continuum, left to float around in there til something grounds her back into the real world, when or wherever that is. it’s an act of karma, or something, and whenever she lands she pukes her guts out because that’s what that kind of thing does to the human body apparently.

genevieve walsh … seventeen. was made fun of in year six for choosing to go to an all girl’s catholic secondary school, her classmates saying that she would end up a lesbian. she did, though it was unrelated to her formal teaching. very unrelated. she has too much going on and is too moody for her own good. extra info can be found @genegrieve.

morrigan kenny … age unknown. bringer of the apocalypse. wanders earth with her way too long hair (it collects twigs and mud) looking for someone to spend the rest of the end with.

alex … thirty-odd (undisclosed actual age) years old. she is yet to learn to do her taxes, and is for all intents and purposes: a con-woman. arguably not an ethical profession, charging the old and the gullible for exorcisms and that of a supernatural variety while having no knowledge of the subject. but a girl’s gotta make a living — volunteering yourself for stand up gigs at the same place night in night out with little to no compensation doesn’t provide much. she’s a kind person, if you ignore the conning, and is decent to talk to. will give away any information. whoops. (fc: jenny slate)

lou webster … seventeen. modern prophet. refuses touch with good reason (skin on skin means she see the other person’s skin melting off, right to the bone). regularly sees the end of the world and it gives her stomach aches. (fc: natalia dyer)

liv o'dell … twenty-nine. screaming messy would probably win the lottery (the luck of her) if she ever tried it, multiple time accidental murderer. makes no sense. is rude. is annoying. has a surprisingly sweet daughter (kitty). more info @heavyroads

betty cloverfield … a twenty one year old motormouth who can’t hold down a single thing she’s meant to. she happens to have recently induced some type of magenta sensitive dissonance in her sensory processing that she can’t shake. it’s speculated by many that she’s taken one too many poppers and it’s taken its toll. (fc: kat dennings)

aiden ryder … seventeen years old. the angstiest, quietest idiot with four fully charged portable chargers to hand at any moment you will ever know. heavily associated with @optimistsclub (fc: jack kilmer)

mert james ... 21. a children’s author, the writer and illustrator of the BEWARE GIANT CREATRUES series. he has many reasons to not want to leave his house and most surround the obvious images conjured in the phrase hatemyself1999 — hate myself (explanatory) and 1999 (dexter ‘mert’ james’ birth year. also self explanatory once you know this fact). all that said, he does in fact leave his house. teaches drums to kids. none of them practise and it makes him insane. in a running circuit of bands where none of the members are committed. that, or he’s misjudging their commitment and giving them nothing when they do in fact care and then he is the dick. music snob, deadpan snarker, karma houdini, middle child syndrome, world of cardboard, can’t get away with nuthin, i coulda been a contender!

lazyguts / victoria ... suicide/eating disorder mention. i’m writing her through ages 17-19 and here’s the brief overview/context: lazyguts lost all of her friends the year before she went off to university as a result of her total withdrawal [causes being a) her brother attempting to kill himself (he survived but it’s very confusing to grieve a hypothetical especially when you’re not supposed to talk about it) and then b) her already struggling with food issues getting worse worse worse. these two things alone are not the reasons as no one else explicitly knows about them, but the adverse effects of these things combined make her difficult to be around/hard to maintain a friendship with her. all very tragic, but still happens. uno].going to a uni where she doesn’t know anyone seems like the best move. she does. she makes friends with a girl called olivia and they become mad close very quickly. this lasts maybe two months until lazyguts starts locking herself away in uni room and doesn’t see much of anyone at all. she has to drop out on mental health reasons just before the end of her first year. she moves back home and lives miserably and very solitary. she and olivia have long lost touch by this point. a few months later she sees an in memoriam post up on olivia’s social media from some of olivia’s friends saying how tragic the loss is, etc/ olivia had killed herself. the post had said something about a project for the close friends of olivia and she tentatively sends a message despite having never really known the girl. anyway, after quite a few ‘exaggerations’ and then a few straight up lies, she ends up super into the friend group of olivia’s based on the lie of being a long-time friend of hers. she’s not sure why the lie comes out nor why she keeps it going. it’s something to cling onto so she does. best way to put it is she’s very dear evan hansen about it, lying lying lying lllyyyinng. eventually she’s caught out but we’re not there yet (fc: odessa a’zion)

dale knox ... 30ish. painter/decorator. info literally not ever written out before. he’s lovely and in a constant state of stress! affiliated with @fullyfungi (fc: aidan turner)

lenny gata ... 26. lonely funeral poet. followed by a select few of the unknown dead #irl after an accidental latin spell read out at a graveside (not her fault, literally not her fault - she read this out in good faith). caught ignoring them/walking them to their homes depending on the day. (fc: aubrey plaza)

millie matthews ... 17. half part antichrist. the other half is her twin sister (#MISSING). currently, unfortunately, sadly, disappointgly, worryingly, being tracked down.
