pairing: demise davis (OC/self insert) x the singularity. rating: PG-13 for threats of violence, can-throwing, insult-hurling, metal music, and a single swear word. word count: 579 summary: HUX hears an awful noise out in the fog, and decides it is his civic duty to investigate.

HUX could hear a racket like no other coming from the center of the forest. The campfire, he quickly deduced, and it must be crawling with those pesky little worms. He wondered, briefly, why they'd be making so much noise -- don't they know that they have nothing to celebrate?

He had to put a stop to it at once.

Branches and small rocks crunched under his feet as his joints squealed and clanked. Whatever the festivities were, they would be ruined shortly, and they would never have anything to celebrate ever again. HUX would make sure of that.

Once he could see the warm orange light of the fire, he reared his claw back, high above his head, and cut a shrub clean in half. He could hear movement beyond his line of sight, indicating he had been noticed. He jerked his head to the side.

What he had assumed as a large gathering was just one person. The aperture in his eye tightened. He couldn't quite tell who it was, but the sounds he could hear were clearer. Heavy, hollow banging, long, deep electrical notes, and screaming. "STOP THAT NOISE," nonetheless, he called out. "AT ONCE."

The volume was magically lowered, suddenly. "It's just music, junker. Calm down." and the voice was one he recognized: Demise.

HUX didn't much care for that nickname. His claw-like fingers flexed closed, then opened. "DO NOT CALL ME THAT, YOU INSOLENT ROACH." he took a hulking step forward, dragging his stiff leg behind him. "I TOLD YOU TO TURN THAT OFF."

Demise chucked an empty tin can and nailed HUX directly in the head, with a hollow tink sound.

“Come over here and turn it off yourself, you big old hunk of junk.”

HUX was frozen for a moment, stunned by Demise’s impudence. His body twitched, then jerked, and then he lunged forward, aiming for that annoying metal box on the ground, to teach this sorry little creature a lesson.

Demise was able to react fast enough to grab his stereo and move it out of HUX’s path, causing him to lodge his large claw in the black dirt.

Demise pursed his lips. “You’re such a freak, junker.” he wrinkled his nose, setting his stereo at his other side and turning the volume back up. “Calm down and listen to it, you might actually like it.”

HUX’s body rattled as if he’d just heaved a huge breath. He stared at Demise, completely silent for a few moments, before he ripped his claw out of the ground and turned to face him.

“YOU ARE A HORRIBLE, SAD THING,” he lurched forward, jutting his head forward, almost level with Demise’s. “WEAK. RUDE. AND SMALL.” he listed, slowly folding his joints to sit opposite of the survivor, just beyond the fire.

“And you can’t let trials go on too long in the Red Forest without rusting.” Demise returned, draping his head over the back of the log he was resting against.

“I DO NOT RUST.” HUX stated, “PERHAPS YOU WOULD. BUT I AM CONSTRUCTED OF SUPERIOR MATERIALS.” his head lolled to the side, and he listened. Screaming and screaming from that one little box, both human and machine. Screeching akin to that of metal against metal. “WHAT IS THIS?”

Demise thinks for a moment, brows furrowed. “I think Jeff left one of his CDs in here. No idea. Can’t understand a damn word.”

HUX rattled and nodded. Demise was right. He did like the screaming.

briefly, demise is the lead singer/bass guitarist of an alt metal/nu metal band most prominent in the 90's/early 2000's, and serenity is a high-profile actor from the 50's. they both use he & she pronouns - and if anyone wants to know more about them, please feel free to ask ! :-D

morning everyone! i wanted to share this little screenshot of concept art for one of my killer OCs -- the father. i ended up using "baptism by fire" as my base for the final design but added some features not shown here! <3

transcript of my handwriting under the cut!

first note, top left design: "normal" human form.

second note, top right design: Original thought. "Baptism by fire."

third note by the bottom left design is obscured.

all three busts are slightly covered by a watermark reading JAWSPLITTER.

#💀 #he's a priest from the witch trials era! he was the leader of a version of the black vale back then. :-) #❤️ ― oktober's ocs #religion tw #just in case anyone needs that tagged <333 if anyone needs this tagged with anything else let me know please !

finally finished my six characters challenge!! it'll be posted tomorrow -- i also started a little piece of some of my OCs, i wanna finish those soon and post them too ! :-D

#💀 #it's self-inserts and regular OCs FYI!! excited to finally be able to design a couple of them - haven't worked out their designs before #so i might do some concepts of them before including them in the image lol. if i do those will be posted too!! #i love concepting :-) i am a HUGE fan of character design. it's seriously my favorite thing about art & character creation. #yes i do think it's my most nerdy trait which is saying a lot because i also love comics lol #now to work on more requests!!! once i get a couple more done i'll turn on my queue! <3 #❤️ ― oktober's ocs

reworking my survivor self-insert again, i'm deciding to turn him into a metal musician, and i'm specifically taking design cues from glam/"hair" metal from the 80's, cause i honestly love that aesthetic and lately have really been wanting to design a character like that!

here are some of my thoughts for perks under the cut as well, since i REALLY wanna infodump lol:

i mainly wanted to say how i'm thinking of naming his perks after metal songs i like -- twisted transistor by KOЯN is probably one of my all-time favorite metal songs, and i'm thinking it'd be great to use for a healing or maybe an unhooking perk, because the song itself deals with everything feeling pointless and feeling lonely but deciding to not give up in spite of that.

i also really want to use a slipknot song, i was thinking of duality since it's one of my favorites by them! which i think could be some kind of perk having to do with sacrificing something like a health state for some kind of buff (i'm thinking instantly getting rid of status effects might be neat? but idk!) - because according to the lead singer, duality is about being a crossroads in your life and being forced to make a hard decision.

not sure about his third perk, but i want it to be something that either draws the killer's attention towards you (making yourself scream, making a loud noise notif at your location, etc...?) or something that would buy your teammates' some time. i'll probably use a NIИ song as inspiration since NIИ is one of my favorite-ever bands! (even though it's mainly defined as a rock band, it is also listed as industrial metal, so it counts, lol). don't know which song though, i'll have to re-listen to a few to see if any fit that kind of description :-)

i'm trying so hard to not give my OC oleander a pretty dress but i am losing this fight they need one so bad. i have a good idea for the dress's design!!

#💀 #“dress” it's actually. well. #as they're the overgrowth i'm making them as a killer overtaken by fungus cause that's cool #and i saw lion's mane mushroom and thought it would make a good dress! #coupled with veiled lady i think for little accents. i did give them a little veil with it. i like it :-) #so the “dress” is all just fungus growing on them. #❤️ ― oktober's ocs
