One complaint I often see about Hazbin/Helluva Boss is the lack of villains, or rather all the villains are the same. Cool concepts that end up being more childish than a Saturday morning cartoon. Well for my rewrite I try to lean into that Saturday Morning aesthetic by having a variety of villains with cool gimmicks. Not all of them are Pure Evil though, they're broken souls, but at the same time I want more villains with different motivations and themes. And yes there are unambiguously evil villains who do bad shit for the hell of it. Here's what I have so far:

We have the main villains, a circus that Evan works for early in the beginning until her transport to hell and subsequent redemption. Their goal is to overthrow the angelic hierarchy and hell royal families and turn the earth into a paradise free of pain and suffering. But in the process puts the souls and innocent humans at risk.

Balthazar: ringleader and owner of the Moonshine Carnival. He recruited teenaged runaway Evangeline Smith to steal a powerful artifact to add to his collection. Underneath the eccentric fun loving facade lies a calculating manipulator with a score to settle with heaven...and hell. Wields a Shillelagh that may have been retooled from an angelic weapon. Based on Caine from TADC

Necrobats: Acrobats who work at the circus, they're stylized like Adam's Exterminators but in bright blue&purple.

Hoohah: A clown with an assorted arsenal of tools including ropes, water guns, whips, chains... Huh? Hoohah is a talented actor who skirts thw line between comedy and melodrama. Is based on Gangle from TADC.

Mesmeralda: A snarky fortune teller with standard telekinesis and mind reading. She works for Balthazar. Based on Zooble from TADC.

Magmarock: Pyrotechnics of Balthazar's circus and muscle, he can control different types of heat including lightning, lava, and steam. Despite his might he is shown to have a suspicious side. Based on Kinger from TADC.

Chevy Duty: Monster trucker from the state of Montana, his truck is a literal monster truck. It can only be soothed through Dolly Parton. Is the only character not based on one from TADC but he is partly inspired by WWE stars.

Portia Lane: A ballerina and dancer with razor sharp shoes. Comes off as motherly and somewhat neurotic, but also fiercely loyal to Balthazar. Is based on Ragatha from TADC.

Pax: suave magician who was the closest Evan had to a friend at the circus. Tall dark and handsome, but operates with his own agenda. Specializes in illusions and light magic. Based on Jax from TADC.

There's other performers and actors such as clowns, dancers, water tricks, animal tamers etc. The main ones I describe are considered the Elites, and the most selfish and evil.

Then I have the independent villains. I haven't come up with all the names so shoot me some suggestions!

Georgina Reginald: A wealthy girl who attends the same school Evan does. While academically and socially gifted, she is also cold, cruel and belittles those she deems beneath them. Evan and Adam TP's her house. Later Georgina is given powers from a mysterious amulet and tries to take over the school.

Moore and Artie: A due of robbers who were active in the UK. While attempting a crime in France they were caught in a shootout and Artie was killed. Soon after, Moore revived his friend using an soul artifact. Augmented with new powers they continued their crime spree. Evan and Charlie fights them during a brief stay on Earth

Furie Fatale: Formerly Megara, the first wife of Hercules who was murdered along with their kids by Hera. She pleaded with Persephone and Hades to reverse their deaths but was rejected. Vowing revenge, Megara turned her sights to the Demon Overlords, and made a deal with the Overlord of Wrath to destroy Hera, anyone who worships her and the other deities who reside in the skies. She's a darker reflection of Eve and Lilith.

Dee-Kay: Originally a real estate guru Deidre Kaye who constructor who planned on building a resort which would've risked destroying a wildlife sanctuary Flora Smith volunteers. Following a freak accident involving chemicals Deidre developed the power to make plants Rot. He's Flora's main opponent.

Breezer: A demonic wind elemental, not much for personality other than that they are volatile and hired by overlords as a temp.

Carrie Sensation: Based on Carrie Nation, a self styled activist who tries to get all the bars closed. She was sent to hell for pushing her views onto everyone and her disregard for ruining people's businesses. She's Husk's main enemy.

Tidal Rage: a water demon with the ability to create hurricanes. Originally a surfer named Tina Rodriguez who cheated at competitions, eventually leading up to drowning a rival surfer. Attempts to flood the hotel out of jealousy towards Charlie.

Venjara: A worker for Valentino, she is a ninja and known shitstirrer who weaponizes the pain of others to project her own self righteous sense of justice. She's the evil counter to Vaggie.

An animal trafficker who owns creatures like the chupacabra and small dragons, selling to the highest bidder. At one point he steals Fat Nugget, prompting a manhunt.

Nightmare Imps, demonic forces who torments people in their sleep. To Abel they are merely more than pests that can be easily dealt with a spray bottle.

An elderly mobster was in a rival gang and who knows Angel Dust (before he died) and still alive, nearing 100 years old. Angel Dust pays him one last visit.

A former Exterminator named Harmonie who took things a little too far and started attacking humans under the assumption that by doing so, they wouldn't turn into Sinners. Adam and Lute was forced to retire her but she escaped and now leads a rival group called the Harpy League. She's a reflection of Adam's violent methods & disobedience. Eventually he admits he feels a tad guilty for his role in ruining her sanity.

Wright N. Rung: A former judge who was sent to hell for causing false imprisonment and executions of innocent people. He can condemn souls and is the rare ability to break contracts (for a high price that is). He's similar to Frollo and is another character who serves as a darker reflection of Adam, namely his self righteousness; and Charlie for her passivity and privilege.

Goliath: Warlord from Ancient biblical times with a score to settle with the angels, namely King David's family. He is a counter to Alastor.

Jezebel: Former queen and a biblical figure who led a genocide and was thrown off the balcony by a servant. In hell she maintained her regal status, and creates a league to overthrow heaven. She even tried to overthrow Lilith once, and sees her disappearance by attempting to persuade Lucifer to accept her as his new bride. He hates her ass lol.

I have other ideas for villains but in theory, they're meant to be darker reflections of the Main characters + my OCs and Adam. Showing what'll happen if they don't move on from their flaws

“In the last decades of the 19th century, Native Americans continued to be herded off their lands and forced into reservations. There, both men and women tried to maintain their intimate and cooperative relationship with the land, but reservation officials discouraged them from establishing cooperative farms and instead encouraged them to farm individual plots. As a result, Native American women gradually lost control of the land, and their social power within their tribes diminished. The equal relationship between Indian women and men changed and began to resemble the marital relations of the white settlers, in which a husband held economic and social power over his wife.

As their way of life eroded, both Native American women and men were forced to enter into a servile relationship with white settlers. Indian women, and some men, washed clothes and dishes and did other household chores for settlers. Some Indian women worked as nursemaids for white women. As their lands were scooped up by non-Indians eager to wrest a profit from the land, Native Americans’ communal, agrarian way of life vanished--and with it, the Native American women’s prominent tribal role.

…In the 1870s, Hispanic villages remained almost untouched by the growing presence of white, or Anglo, settlers. Some Hispanic men performed seasonal work for Anglo settlers for extra cash, then returned to their villages. This extra income enabled Hispanic farmers to purchase additional livestock or to open a store. By the 1880s, however, an expanding railroad system brought more white settlers to the Southwest. As more Anglos arrived, they forced their cultural values and business practices on Hispanics. They imposed the notion of private property, the use of property for commercial gain rather than for subsistence, and an economy based on money instead of barter.

Most important, they simply took land that had been commonly owned by Hispanic villagers. Lacking sufficient pastureland, villagers could hardly sustain their agrarian way of life on their small individual plots. Gradually, Anglos gained control over the local village economy throughout New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado. With insufficient land to support themselves, Hispanics had no choice but to work for the new landowners. Hispanic women were no longer able to help support their communal life. They began to work for whites as seamstresses, cooks, launderers, domestics, hotel keepers, and even prostitutes. Like Native American women, they worked as day laborers for someone else instead of as farmers for their own people.

…In the mining camps of Butte, Montana, as well as in the desert outposts of New Mexico, women worked as prostitutes and owners of brothels and saloons. Women became prostitutes for a variety of reasons--to rebel against strict parents, to experience the adventure of a mining camp, or simply to earn a living when no other choice of work was available. Some women prospered and turned their earnings into lucrative real estate investments, but many women felt socially outcast and were at risk of contracting venereal diseases, which were often fatal, or of being physically abused by male customers. Prostitution was a lonely, insecure life spent mostly in dark, shabby hotel rooms.

A shameful chapter in the settling of the West concerns Chinese women who were sold into prostitution. These unsuspecting young women were either kidnapped in China and smuggled into American ports, or they were deceived by agents posing as matchmakers who lured them to America. Either way, they became virtual slaves, forced to service the sexual needs of Chinese immigrant male laborers working on the railroads and ranches of the West. Some found sympathetic support from female missionaries who sheltered them in special group homes and trained them to be wives and mothers. But the missionaries pressured them into entering marriages that were not always happy or compatible, and these unfortunate young Chinese women still had little control over their lives.”

- Harriet Sigerman, “‘I Wish I Had Many Hands”: Toilers on the Land.” in Laborers for Liberty: American Women, 1865-1890

I just discovered why Reed Hastings (Netflix Chairman and Co-Founder) is trying to create buzz about Powder Mountain in Utah...real estate on the property will be coming on the market in the summer of 2024. Megain is an odd choice of buzz creator, though, given her terrible consumer appeal. In October 2023, it was reported in the the Salt Lake Tribune that Reed Hastings removed all Powder Mountain lots from market: "Less than a month after the former Netflix CEO became the majority shareholder and chief decision-maker at the Eden-area ski and snowboard resort, Hastings pulled all its available residential real estate off the market. The 25 lots account for about half of the 57-lot Overlook development near the top of the mountain.""Hasting said the lots, which came off the market on Sunday, will not be offered up for sale again until next summer when the resort launches what he is calling 'Powder Next'.”I'm wondering if Hastings is trying to create a more affordable/less exclusive version of the Yellowstone Club. For those Sinners who are unfamiliar with the Yellowstone Club, it's a super-exclusive and extremely private ski club in Big Sky, Montana (membership is out of reach for the Harkles).Link to Salt Lake Tribune article dated October 2, 2023: https://ift.tt/WhU416N version: https://ift.tt/8PBpXOR post link: https://ift.tt/nPm9aiZ author: BuildtheHerd submitted: March 02, 2024 at 06:18PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit

TAG LIST BABES || RULES + FANDOMS || GOT A QUESTION/HC REQUEST? || MASTERLIST POST

CHAPTERS ;

AUTHORS NOTES;

I feel like I never told anybody how much I loved the season 1984 from American Horror Story. Or Xavier. This whole yen to write for him rose earlier - around July tbh, and Idk, this might be a thing and it might not be a thing. We shall see. I do know I at least wanna attempt to squeeze some filth out of this before I call it quits but who knows where this one is going bc spoiler alert, it's not me. I do not know. This just came a while back and I found it in my drafts, thought I'd share.

I guess, what i'm saying here, if you wanna see more, you know what to do? Or not? Idek, man. Legit do not know how to feel about this one. On the one hand I love it, on the other hand me is scaredt.. Me is scaredt that this could turn real fuckin dark, real fuckin quick.

-Ashes

SUMMARY;

-- trapped at a haunted camp (portal to hell) to help rebuild it is not how you were planning to spend your Fourth of July week. But here you are. Might as well make the most of it, right?

aka, this is the one where you're helping prep to reopen Camp Redwood. But that's not gonna go horribly wrong... Right?

PAIRING;

Xavier Plympton x Fem!Reader of vaguest descriptors if any.

WARNINGS;

not gonna lie or sugarcoat it. Sex, drugs, alcohol, a very toxic relationship with the ex who happens to also be present. possibly murder, idk yet.. for now, we'll just go with sex, dr*gs (we*d), alcohol and being trapped away from civilization with a very toxic ex. And Xavier. Xavier is his own warning, golden retriever murder boy he may be.

TAGLIST;

There is nobody on this one. If you'd like a tag, please click the link at the top of the post. I will be writing for 84 as well as other seasons.

OTHER STUFF;

Uh... This might get a little bit dark? If I keep going that is. If I keep going it could get dark. Read with caution. I'll be more descriptive in any future warnings for posts of this. I plan to write one more part, we'll see.Also, also.. setting is now, the year of our lord 2022.

“Tell me they’re not… No, no. They better not be reopening this hellhole.” Montana’s mumbled words draw Xavier’s attention away from where you stand, leaned against the side of a lifted SUV that was driven by some asshole in a muscle shirt with a backwards facing baseball cap. You’re upset and he’s not sure how he knows, he just knows. The asshole in the muscle shirt says something about you being in a bitchy mood and he yells out loud, making his way over to a similar lifted vehicle.

Xavier knew it was coming, that fucking real estate agent blew through the week before and there was lots of whispering and talk about rewriting the narrative, making Camp Redwood a happy place and when he’d heard it, he wanted to laugh until he cried because the fucking place is evil. Tainted.

“Are you even listening to me, Plympton?” Montana asks, nudging him in the side. But then she spots him staring in the distance and her gaze settles where his is fixed so intently. “You know what’ll happen, you fucking idiot.”

Xavier finally pulls his gaze off you and drags a hand over the back of his neck. “I wasn’t even thinking about it, okay? I’m not fucking stupid.”

Montana scoffs because somehow, she doesn’t believe him one bit. Of everyone trapped and doomed to spend their afterlife in Camp Redwood, Xavier has struggled the hardest.

She places a hand against his bicep. “Come on, doofus. Lets just get you away from temptation, yeah? Before you wind up mopey and heartbroken and shit.”

But then, just as he’s walking away, you catch sight of him. And you rub your eyes as if you’re seeing things. And you shake your head. Before Xavier can come to you, Montana’s grabbed hold of him and blipped him up into the cabin farthest up in the grounds. Away from the cabins below.

Lavinia Richter knits her brows in concern. “Oh dear. What’s wrong, sweet boy?”

Her son looks up at Xavier and shakes his head. “I heard ‘em too. Stay the hell out of sight, kid. I mean it. It’s for your own good and their safety. We’ll work harder t’ make sure that bastard Ramirez stays trapped and can’t roam as much as usual.”

“It’s only a week.” Ray speaks up from the doorway and Chet nods solemnly. “Lot can happen in a week, man. Didn’t take this shit we’re stuck in more than a day or two, remember?”

“Yeah, well.”

Down below, you’re wandering around. Trying to find the guy you thought you saw earlier. Trying to blow off steam because once again, Seth is being a complete prick. You spot the dock and the sunlight glinting off the water and it’s so hot that you can’t resist taking a dip.

You make your way down and shed your cutoffs and the tank top you’d been wearing and you dive into the cool water of the lake. When you resurface, you happen to catch sight of a rundown cabin off in the distance on a high slope. And you’re almost certain you’ve seen someone standing in the window. A woman with bright platinum hair.

From the dock, Seth yells out to you and you ignore him because you’re just not ready to deal with him yet, continuing to splash around in the lake instead. Seth strips down and dives in with you, popping up while your back is turned and you scream when he covers your eyes.

You’ve heard all the stories about this place. You’re not sure why you agreed to come out and rebuild it after hearing everything that went down. But here you are.

“Jesus Christ, Seth.”

He laughs and teases you. “Such a little baby.”

“Asshole.”

“Aw c’mon. Don’t tell me you believe that haunted camp bullshit like Colin and Phoebe.”

You don’t answer because you’re too busy scanning the shore because you’re almost positive you’ve seen the same guy you saw minutes after your arrival and you’re almost sure you saw him sitting on the shore. Staring at you intently. Like he’s watching you.

Seth is starting to get handsy, his usual trick of sex to make you forget whatever shitty thing he’s gone and done and you swat his hands away, giving him an irritated look. “Stop it, Seth. No.”

“Aw, c’mon, darlin. Nobody will ever know,” he mumbles as his finger trails over your panties just below the dark surface of the water and you try to squirm away, “All I have to do is pull your bottoms to the side.” he’s trying to kiss your neck and you finally shove him off.

“You didn’t just forget a date this time, asshole. You fucked our roommate. In our bed. Fuck off, Seth. We’re done.”

He throws up his hands and calls out calmly, “You say that until Captain Morgan gets involved, babe. You’ll be back. I’m the best you’ll ever have. You even said it yourself.”

“Fucking six seconds lasting motherfucker, I hate you.” you grumble under your breath as you hurry to re-dress and get as far away from Seth as you can manage.

In your annoyed huff you find yourself body to body with him.

The guy you’ve been catching glimpses of all day long. And he’s all sweet smiles and baby blues dancing over your body. Biting his lip.

“Can I help you, sir?” you ask, stepping away a little because he’s migrated closer to you.

Xavier sighs. “You shouldn’t be here.”

“Yeah, kind of figured that one out for myself. Now I’m stuck and when I do leave, if I can’t get an Uber, I’m spending four hours trapped in that piece of shit over there,” you point to the jacked up SUV and continue as you rub your forehead, “With that piece of shit out in the water.”

Xavier shakes his head and it’s almost sad in a way because he’s just got a really, really weird feeling about the group of you showing up here. Now.

“None of you should be here.”

Your brow raises. “What the hell does that mean?”

“You can’t tell me you don’t know what the fuck you’ve walked into, kitten.” Xavier responds. Seth has caught sight of you both and he’s angry, heading straight for you.

“The fuck is this shit, huh?”

You grumble. You’re also clinging a little closer to his body and Xavier can’t help the way it overwhelms him. He’s been so long without some kind of physical touch. It’s driving him fucking insane. And you seem scared of the guy barrelling towards you both. Maybe more angry than afraid, but that fear is there and it’s got your eyes a little wild, a little bigger.

Xavier slips his arm around you and plasters on his best smirk.

“Gonna stop you now, meathead.” he speaks up, voice smooth and calm as silk and you can’t help but notice that somehow, it’s got you both a little wet and slightly afraid at the same time. Because there’s something dangerous in that voice and the way he’s smirking. “I’m taking your girl.”

Seth chuckles. “Mhm, right. You’re not even her type.”

You speak up before you can stop yourself. One wrong word and the asshole will abandon you out here in the middle of fuckin nowhere and you know it. He’s done it before.

And in that moment, you realize that you’re pathetic. You keep letting Seth sweet talk you and love bomb you until you’re back to the same vicious cycle and it’s been this way since at least junior year of high school. But you’re finally ready to call it quits. For good. Because he might’ve been an asshole up to this point but up to this point he hadn’t cheated on you. And then been callous enough that he didn’t bother hiding it after the fact.

And you weren’t going to take anymore of it.

“Actually, dipshit..” you speak up and Seth’s gaze settles on you. “Go on then, have your fun. Fuck this out of your system, get even with me.”

“We’re over this time, Seth. I’m being serious.” you respond. And it’s so calm that Seth looks just a little panicked. After he walks away to sulk, you take a few ragged breaths and collapse onto the bank. A hand thrown over your forehead. On the one hand, it feels as if you’ve lost his exact body weight in bullshit and baggage. On the other hand, you’ve managed to fuck yourself out of a way home at the end of the week.

Xavier stands there, arms folded. Gazing down at you.

“Are you okay, darlin?” he sinks down to sit beside you.

“I will be.. I think. I mean as soon as I fucking hitchhike four hours home at the end of the week.”

,, If you live til then.” Xavier thinks to himself solemnly.

You prop on your elbow and turn to the side, raising up to look at him. “Are you with Habitat?”

Xavier wants to tell you the truth but he knows that’ll do him no good just yet. Maybe in a day or two. After the usual weird shit happens and you all notice it and begin to panic and react accordingly. Then maybe you’ll at least listen to reason if he gets a little closer.

And he can tell himself this is his only plan, to keep you safe, but deep down, he knows it’s because he wants you. Not forever.

For now.

So when you repeat your question and he’s finally not distracted enough by your pillowy lips to answer, he flashes you his best charmers smirk. “Yeah.” he laughs. “I uh.. Signed up for it late.”

You smile and nod. “Awesome.” but in the back of your mind something feels off. Between the cryptic statement he made earlier and the dangerous vibe you're kind of picking up from him, something just feels off.

“My name is Xavier, by the way, darlin.” he introduces himself, chuckling because he’s been out of humanity for so long it’s as if he’s forgotten all the manners beaten into him at a young age. He stands and holds out a hand to help you up and warily, you take it.

Something about his name sounds familiar but you don’t say anything.

Because right now, you’re just grateful he got rid of Seth for you. And he seems like a nice guy, even though you can feel the danger as it radiates off of him.

But you’re on defensive right now.

Maybe you’re just being paranoid.. Right?

For the WIP Roundup, I am so curious about your story Kakia 😃 Kit in the role of the Mother and Eden's Gate as a little Las Vegas... It's just a great idea !

thank you 💕 here's a snippet from the opening of Jacob's first pov chapter:

Montana…Big Sky Country…The Treasure State…

Welcome to Hope County.

A small wooden sign greets all the visitors on the side of the road, it is the only way of knowing that the red pickup truck had finally arrived at its destination after having driven through the nowhere land of open fields outside Missoula, the giant swath of gold that stretched for miles was no more inviting than being lost out in the desert. This was where Jacob Seed had been offered employment with the Sheriff’s Department, taking over from a man named Earl Whitehorse who’d served the county for the last thirty years and who was ready to leave for greener pastures.

He isn’t driving alone, however. Along with him are his brothers, all three of them needing a change of scenery and a new chance at life after Georgia had done enough to ruin them. Jacob had clawed his way out of homelessness, fighting tooth and nail to survive while living out on the streets of Rome after coming home from war. One of the many forgotten veterans, left to his own devices after he was deemed unfit for duty, he picked himself up by the bootstraps with the help of those willing to work through his trauma at the shelter. His brothers were in dire straits of their own when he found them. But that was then, and this is now. Things are different. Things are hopeful. “A brighter tomorrow” as Joseph likes to keep repeating to them like a mantra.

Fall’s End was where the Sheriff’s Department for the county was stationed, and for the small town it was made out to be, it certainly doesn’t match the brochure he was given. The lone bar in town has a lineup down the block, businesses are booming, real estate is shifting faster than it’s made available and vehicles travel up and down the strip with youthful faces hanging out of windows shaking bottles of liquor in their hands as they party in broad daylight.

Wrapping his fingers tightly around the wheel, Jacob squeezes it beneath white knuckles as he shifts his clenched jaw from side to side. It all became clear why Whitehorse was looking to unhitch his cart from this place. What was once quiet, a stop along the way to the bigger city, had since grown in popularity. In its own way, this town was flourishing, but not for a good reason.

Joseph sits in the passenger seat beside him, his mouth falling agape as they drive past. “My God,” he whispers, stunned by the sight of so much sin so far removed from Las Vegas.

John follows suit from the back seat as he pushes his sunglasses on to the top of his head, his eyes growing wide at the giant neon sign outside the bar of a scantily clad woman standing atop an eagle.

In bright pink letters “Spread Eagle” flashes for all to see, calling people to it like a beacon. The heart of immorality in the center of a town that had lost sight of the little slice of harmony it had once stood for.

Jacob had taken the job in a sleepy little town as a way to give his brothers a second chance away from what ailed them. John had been disbarred, had his wealth and status taken from him for his “youthful” indiscretions and had been court ordered to go to therapy and Narcotics Anonymous for his frivolous lifestyle to get himself clean. Joseph had just been handed a bill of clean health after checking out of the psych ward, grief had crippled him entirely after the loss of his wife and unborn child. They had nothing and no one but each other now, and as their eldest brother it was his duty to look after them the same way he had when they were children.

H E A D C A N O N S

teagan montana wilds was born as the only daughter of a couple of real estate agents in chicago, illinois. they were a power couple of sorts, providing nothing but the best for their little girl. it didn't take long for her to realise that there wasn't much they wouldn't do for her.

as much as she liked to think that she wasn't a brat, she certainly didn't want for anything growing up. her parents worked hard to provide her with anything her heart desired. she got used to a life of luxury.

despite that, teagan worked hard in her adolescence. she wanted to make sure that, no matter what, she was able to attend the sort of college she saw on television growing up. ivy league wasn't on the cards for her (she was realistic) but it didn't mean that she wasn't going to strive for the best that she could.

for the first time, for college, teagan was out of the watchful eyes of her parents. attending the university of washington, she was free to spread her wings and unleash a side of her that she hadn't had much of a chance to explore.

teagan became a party girl, living for the evenings and not for the learning, she was a regular at almost every event and party thrown for the students. she loved the music, the dancing, the attention that she could draw for herself, and studying wasn't going to get in the way of that.

scraping her way through college, teagan went back to chicago for a short spell. she thought about getting her real estate license and following in the steps of her parents, but she yearned for more.

instead, she started working for a ceo of a magazine as their assistant, dipping her toe into the water of the world of writing. she could deal with the ceo's temper tantrums when things didn't go right, hold her own when she needed, and it put her in good stead. it gave her the thick skin she knew that being the assistant to someone like that needed.

after a couple of years, and plenty of experience, teagan decided to up sticks. she didn't want to stay under the watchful eye of her parents, longing for the freedom she had when she was at college. so at twenty four, she upped and moved to the bright lights of new york city.

still not wanting for much, and an avid user of her parents credit card, teagan's life became a balance of working for a magazine and partying the nights away. she took up a role as an executive assistant to the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine, and that brought with it a lot of demands as well as a lot of connections.

teagan is thriving in the nyc lifestyle, but not everything can be as manic pixie dream girl as it seems forever, can it?

W A N T E D C O N N E C T I O N S / P L O T S

friends from college in seattle would be cool, just something of a bit of stability for her. they might be friends, or party animal buddies.

a best friend / partner in crime !!!

a messy ex from chicago, probably her only real relationship because i really just want to write all the angst for it because i like pain.

hook ups (past and present) she's very easy going and chilled, could be no names basis but also fwb vibes

work colleagues at the magazine / industry contacts

#✶ teagan wilds || intro.#boroughs.intro #this is super vague because she's a fresh muse for me so i'll pad it out more as i go !#tldr: party gal working at fashion magazine with parents credit card here for a good time not a long time xo

Description: Born in Tennessee but moved to Hope County, Montana with her brothers and parents, Clarissa Montgomery believes Hope County, Montana will be a perfect opportunity for a fresh start.

She lands a job as a sheriffs deputy which she finds suitable enough. Things change a lot for her when she becomes the arresting officer of the most wanted man in Montana, Joseph Seed.

A cult leader who believes a great collapse is coming, and god wants him to save as many souls as he can. Can Joseph convince Clara and the resistance that they need to be saved? Or will she ban with the resistance and take down his cult of believers.

——————————————————————————————

Chapter 1: In the Beginning

Summary: Clara settles into Hope, accepting the job offer, meanwhile the sheriff puts her as an arresting officer of Joseph Seed

Warnings: religious cults, religious imagery and symbolism,

Word Count: 1463

—————————————————————————————

Moving to Hope County was the best decision they could have made, Hope seems different from Tennessee. The streets aren’t as busy and the aura has something calming about it, homely. Montana was colder than Tennessee for sure but nobody really minded the cold, especially Clara. But today it wasn’t cold at all- it was the middle of summer and the temperature was only rising as the day moved forward. Montana was best known for its natural beauty and wildlife and there was so much wildlife in the area.

Across from their home- is a large field where bison roam. They don’t seem too friendly but friendly enough that Clara has snapped a few photos. She always had a passion for animals and she absolutely adored nature, one of her many, many hobbies.

Photography was another- she had taken professional photos of animals, or just anything in her sight and she believed the camera catches things that the eye cannot. There were a lot of things she saw that she wished she didn’t.

“Clara! You need to be careful of the bison! They’re dangerous.” Her mom yelled from their front patio. Her mother, Penelope, was one of the most successful women in Tennessee. She was a real estate agent and full time lawyer- which Clara never got how she managed both at a time. Being a lawyer seemed draining and very difficult - which is why she wouldn’t be following in her mother’s footsteps.

She had always wanted to be a professional photographer and take wedding photos, or just photos that she wanted and sell them in art. Art was one of her talents- her favorite talent. She loved to draw things she had seen that she loved or her siblings and parents. Although her siblings joke that she’s not good, she knows deep down they love their paintings or else why keep them? Nicholas and Preston- her loving siblings, always trying to get money from mom or bribing Clara so she didn’t tell when they snuck out.

They said Clara was the favorite out of the three- she got everything she wanted but she wasn’t a spoiled brat, at least she thought. Her siblings, on the other hand, believe she is some princess in her castle. The thought alone makes her want to laugh.

Exploring the town and different parts of the county would be first on her bucket list, she had always wanted to visit the town- Falls End. A lot of tourists hit it because of the bar and she heard the local pastor is giving a sermon tomorrow morning at his church. She’s never been to church much in her life although she wished she had, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t believe in a god.

Even if he hadn’t answered a lot of her prayers. Gods busy, he’s got big plans and that doesn’t include making house calls in the middle of the night.

Standing out in the large field- staring back at their cabin was absolutely stunning. She loved the aesthetic and vibes it gaze off, especially the comfy home feeling and decor. The cabin wasn’t big but it wasn’t small either, they all had rooms and plenty of extra space for their stuff. On the inside, it wasn’t fancy but the decor had been picked based on wildlife and nature- for sure. It was a beautiful cabin and Clara was ecstatic that they picked this one- it was the only one besides the one up in the mountains.

Walking inside the town felt nice- the folk were decent enough and seemed friendly by their polite smiles and small waves. Clara had stopped by the bar and went inside to chat with the bartender but eventually left because of the little brawl inside - she seemed to be busy enough.

Despite the flaws of the town, it was comforting and Clara was looking forward to actually exploring the whole County.

Her phone buzzed in her hand and her eyes glanced down at the text message from Fletcher, Fletcher has been her best friend since high school. They do everything together despite her constantly complaining that he never leaves her side. That’s not always true considering he’s not around much anymore. When she moved- he stayed but they do occasionally FaceTime and she’s trying to convince him to move here.

He’s thought about it, considering the fact he’s a cowboy back home - well old home - and he’d absolutely love Montana.

She wasn’t looking for a job because technically she already had one, she had sent in an application for the deputy position at the Hope County Sheriff's department - she had always wanted to be a deputy and thanks to the academy and many references she was accepted. Her brothers seemed a bit nervous about her becoming a cop- they must have been up to something illegal for them to feel that way.

She was more nervous thinking of her first day, what it was going to be like and who she’d be partnered with- the sheriff never told her any of that all she knew was her first shift was tomorrow and he had said to get well rested. Whatever that meant. Hopefully, they didn’t put her on desk duty first - she wanted to be out with all the action.

As if there would be any. Hope county seemed calm, more calming and the thought of that actually made her feel relieved. This town was definitely different from what happened in Tennessee - which is one of the many reasons she didn’t want to become a cop there. They were into some deep, dark stuff and she didn’t want any part of it.

Not in the slightest.

Her mom was more than happy for her but kind of upset that her daughter didn’t pursue her line of career. Being a lawyer or a real estate agent didn’t seem like something Clara would be interested in- as much as it pained her to say it. Sarcastically.

Her dad on the other hand was a complicated soul and he did not approve of her becoming a cop, he thought that career gets too many killed but what job doesn’t? She wasn’t afraid of dying but afraid of not being able to embrace who she really is. Her dad and her never really got along much, he hardly was around and left for months on business trips but Clara was pretty sure he was just cheating on their mom. She couldn’t prove it so she’d never believe it- her siblings are too childish to believe anything other than getting into a mess.

That leaves the simple question, did she want to do it? Of course she did or at least she believed she did. Being a deputy was something she wanted - she wanted to help people and this was one of the ways to do just that. Even if it gets her nowhere. She will at least try.

Later that night.

Her heart was beating fast, faster than she thought it could, her nerves were tingling and she felt sick to her stomach. Something inside her chest was telling her that this mission would be dangerous - she watched the video that the Sheriff had sent her and the next five words after it.

You are the arresting officer. You will assist Marshall Burke alongside the sheriff and your partner, Joey Hudson.

Her lungs had felt like they were about to explode and maybe she was being dramatic but this was supposed to be a calm town. Now she was the lead arresting officer of the most wanted and the most dangerous man in Hope County. Joseph Seed. The video was spooky enough and the atmosphere was enough to tell her that she didn’t know or nobody knew just how powerful he may be.

By the way he appeared in the video, he must be capable of anything and everything. He’s more powerful than anyone thinks and unpredictable - he has many different sides and versions of himself and this one. She never wanted to meet. But she had no choice, he would be angry that they were arresting him and all his men surrounding the copter, making sure their father wasn’t arrested?

It would be a chaotic disaster and they didn’t need this. They shouldn’t arrest him - just leave well enough alone. Arresting Joseph could start something with The Project that they didn’t need, what she had heard from the sheriff was that Joseph and the deputies had run-ins before but they never went their way - so why try again? Maybe it had something to do with this Marshall.

Whoever he is. He better know what he’s doing and what he is dragging them into. Because if not, he’s going to get them all killed.

#wip: in hope of salvation
