Hey there you said you needed a Hazbin Hotel request? I got just the thing. Is it okay you do a Alastor x witch reader? Like reader was a witch before she died and is basically pretty powerful especially in magic? I like to think she covers up her body because she’s covered in tattoos that look like magic ruins or ritual symbols. Idk i just thought it would be cute of Alastor falling in love with a classy yet a badass witch who can put him in his place.
Heya Anon! Yes, Absolutely! I love my witchy friends (shoutout to Tatianna because she follows my blog.) I wasn’t sure exactly on which type of Witch you were referring to, so I decided on a random mix of diff witch cultures! Please shoot me a request if that’s not what you had in mind and I can re-write this for you. Thanks a ton for the request!
From Experience
Tumblr media
Alastor x Fem!Witch!Reader
words : 1k , no warnings!
You let out a sigh as you started the spell you had been planning for weeks now. You had to go to Lust to get aphrodisiac rose powder, cannibal town to get the dried blood (and have a coffee and chat with Rosie, of course.) you even attended to Blood Moon festival very shortly to get some black tree root straight from the source from your friend Sally Mae. The candles had been lit - your spirit guides told you it was ready. You closed your eyes softly as you started to read out the incantation in your head.
You sighed softly through your nose as you felt yourself slowly start to float, the bone-marrow candles you had bought starting to glow a blood red colour as you felt the power of the spell start to wash over you, the magical ruins carved into your body lighting up, making you glow softly, and it was all coming together nicely, perfectly one might say - 
“Hello, Darling!” 
You let out a small scream and opened your eyes, falling to the floor with a small thud, groaning as you open your eyes to the familiar face smiling back at you, chuckling softly as you rub your head gently, rolling your eyes. Not an evil spirit. Okay, an evil spirit. But a very familiar one. “Alastor, what a surprise.” You said as he walked over to you, offering you his hand and you took it, hoisting yourself up and letting out a soft sigh as you saw the spilt wax across the floor. 
“How rude of me to interrupt you! Allow me.” He hums softly, and you watch as the candles are returned back to their original state, turning back to him with a smile, brushing your now messed hair back into place, tilting your head. “Back again so soon?” You said with a chuckle, walking into your kitchen to get a cup of tea, him following quickly behind.
Now that you thought about it - he was back very, very soon. You had last seen him yesterday for lunch, and just two days before that for an evening stroll. After seven years of absence, you could’ve sworn you hadn’t even seen him this much before he disappeared. This meant he either needed something, or he was playing you in a big plan.
“Oh, well you just make the best steaming cup of chamomile, my dear.” He compliments, sitting at your small window-side table. You chuckled, taking a spoonful of the mix you had taken years to perfect, crushing the leaves, adding in just a bit of cinnamon. You had even figured out the best tea bags. Possibly your best spell ever. You dismissed your worries as your own overthinking, sighing as you poured the boiling water into the mugs.
“No sugar for you again?” You say, eyes not looking back at him as you pull the cane sugar out from your cabinet, spooning a couple helpings into your mug. “You know me too well, darling.” He says and you blush softly, putting the cane sugar back, bringing both the mugs to the table, placing one in front of him, and one in front of yourself.
“So, why are you back so quickly, hmm?” You said teasingly, leaning back in your chair, mixing the tea in your mug lazily, toying with the spoon as you watching him dip the boiling liquid - always uncanny, how he could do that - before looking back up at you. 
“One could say I’ve taken a bit of a liking to you, my love.” He says with a smile, and you feel your face get hot - from more than just the steam from your tea. He chuckles softly at your reaction, taking another sip from his mug, leaning back in his chair and watching you try to find the right words. Platonically? It’s hard to decipher a man who’s walked out of a couple decades before your time. 
“One might even say you… like me?” You say, testing the waters as you discard your cup back onto the table, crossing your arms over your chest, skepticism all over your expression causing Alastor to let out another chuckle. “One could say that. But I hate that way of saying it.” He responds flatly, putting his mug down as well, tilting his head at you. Trying to read a man who’s face was always carved into that sharp-toothed grin was hard.
“While we are speaking of taking a liking to things.” He says, holding out his hand, a small jar of black sand from the burning desert - one of a kind, unbelievably expensive, and your eyes widened. You swallowed thickly as you eyes the small vial, looking up at him with a small grin. 
“I’m not giving you my soul for this. Tempting, though.” You said with a playful smile, watching him place it delicately on the table. “Oh, no, darling, it is yours for the price of this cup of tea. A friend gave it to me in exchange for a… favor.” He says with a small chuckle, watching you pick up the vial cautiously and inspect it, turning it upside down and watching the pitch black sand move around in the glass. 
Oh, the things you could do with this. 
“And why should I take your murder sand?” You say with a smile, looking back up at him as you toyed with vial carefully, raising your eyebrows, watching his eyes trail down to the vial and then back up to you. 
“Well, I’ve heard it’s good for love spells.” He hums softly, taking another nonchalant sip of his tea, watching you nearly cough on your own spit over the statement, collecting yourself before piercing your lips together, eyes going from him to the vial over and over. 
“And how would you know this, hmm? You some sort of ritual expert now?” You said with a playful smile and tone, clutching the vial in your hand and leaning forward, chin resting on your palm. 
“Let’s just say I can speak from experience.”

pairing: pre-outbreak!joel miller x female reader
rating: t
word count: 3.6k
joel miller masterlist | all masterlists
summary:
it’s christmas eve 1998 and joel miller thinks everything is perfect.
well, until his brother admits he didn’t get sarah the one present she wanted - the furby. now, joel has to go out on christmas eve to find the year’s hottest toy that’s been sold out for months.
turns out, you’re on the same mission. and you’ve both found the last furby in town.
author’s note:
this is just a silly lil feel good holiday fic that’s been plaguing my brain. if you are too young to have experience the furby craze, i implore you to look it up. however, if you do remember, i hope this gives you a happy dose of nostalgia. gingerbread dividers by @saradika-graphics
tags/warnings:
pre-outbreak, no use of y/n, holiday/christmas fic, the last toy trope, no smut, age gap - not explicitly specified but joel is 31 and reader is mid-20s, the great miller gingerbread construction competition, operation get sarah miller a furby, some kissing.
Tumblr media
“Dad! Wake up!” Sarah shouts, bursting into Joel’s room. She leaps onto the bed, bouncing on her knees and jostling him around on the mattress as he groans.
“Sarah, baby, it’s too damn early,” he says, pulling the quilt over his head. “Go back to sleep.”
“But it’s Christmas Eve!” The bouncing stops as she lays beside him, tugging the quilt down. “It’s time to make cinnamon rolls. And we gotta make cookies for Santa.”
Joel blinks, his daughter’s face coming into focus, bright brown eyes and a gap toothed smile filling his vision. Her hair is a wild mess from sleep and her unicorn pajama shirt is stained with toothpaste. At eight years old, she’s starting to lean out, her cheeks no longer as round and her limbs at that stage of awkward adolescent lankiness. He wants to sleep, wants a few more hours of rest after a jam packed holiday season of repairs and deadlines and supply issues, but looking at her smiling face and remembering that she’s getting older…
Well, that gets him moving.
“Alright. Let’s get downstairs and make Santa the best cookies he’s ever had.”
She squeals, scrambling off the bed and racing out of the room, light footsteps descending the stairs as he rubs the sleep from his eyes and gets up to find a t-shirt in the pile of laundry he’s neglected to put away, opting to dig through its wrinkled contents for what he needs each day instead.
He makes his way downstairs and to find his daughter rummaging through the fridge and pulling out eggs and milk for their customary Christmas Eve cinnamon rolls and the jangle of keys in the doorknob lets him know that Tommy has arrived.
“Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas, Millers!” His younger brother announces. “Sarah! It don’t smell like cinnamon in here!”
“Dad woke up late,” she shouts back. Tommy grins at Joel as he passes, slapping a hand on his shoulder.
“‘Course he did,” he says with a wink. Joel rolls his eyes as he gets the electric mixer from the top cabinet for Sarah and preheats the oven for her.
“Y’know, Santa can take all those presents he’s got ready for you and leave them at other houses for nicer kids,” he says. Sarah’s eyes go wide.
“He wouldn’t!” She yelps. “I’ve been good all year!”
“Don’t listen to your daddy, sweetheart. He’s just bein’ a sensitive Sally,” Tommy says. She breathes a sigh of relief, her attention returning to her task of cracking eggs.
“I just really hope Santa brings me a Furby,” she says wistfully. “I want one of ‘em so bad. Chrissy got one when they came out in October and they’re so cool!”
“I’m sure Santa will come through,” Joel says, catching Tommy’s eye and winking. Tommy’s brows pinch together as he mouths, “What?”
Joel widens his eyes at him, a look that screams, “What do you mean, what?!”
Tommy continues to look confused and Joel squeezes his eyes shut, turning back to his daughter to help her with rolling out the dough she’s mixed up. She continues to chat about her excitement for tomorrow, especially because her big sister has agreed to stop by in the morning.
“You didn’t forget that she’s coming, right?” Sarah asks.
“‘Course not, sweetie,” Joel replies distractedly. The hours Joel works aren’t always conducive to a prompt after school pick up, so most days Sarah spends time with a volunteer from the Empowered Girls program that she calls her “big sister”. He always forgets her name, but he knows she’s a student working on her master’s degree in elementary education at University of Texas. Did he forget she was coming? Yeah, maybe, but he’s got bigger problems right now.
Like the fact that Tommy is acting like he has no clue he was supposed to get Sarah that damn Furby for Christmas.
Once the cinnamon rolls are in the oven and Sarah returns to her room to get dressed for the day, Joel smacks Tommy on the back of the head.
“Ow! The fuck?” He asks, rubbing the sore spot. “What was that for?”
“Tell me you didn’t forget that perfect little girl’s goddamn talkin’ demon toy or I’ll do it again,” Joel warns, already raising his hand. Tommy scrambles from his seat, hands held up defensively as he backs himself up against the counter to get away from his brother’s assault.
“You didn’t tell me to get one!” He insists. Joel stares at him incredulously.
“I sure as hell did! I gave you fifty bucks three weeks ago and asked you to get one because I’d be workin’ OT until Christmas Eve and it would be too late by then!”
“I thought the fifty was for me. Like an early gift or somethin’.”
Joel closes his eyes and attempts to take a deep breath. When he opens his eyes, he feels no more calm as he looks at his brother.
“Great. Now I’m gonna have to go to the goddamn toy store on Christmas Eve to find one of these things.”
“I’ll go for you,” Tommy offers. Joel hits him with a look.
“No. I ain’t makin’ that mistake again. You’re stayin’ here with Sarah and I’ll go get the Furball.”
“It’s Furby,” Tommy corrects. Joel reaches out and smacks his head again before he can protect himself.
Sarah returns to the kitchen, dressed in her Rudolph t-shirt and jeans and smiling brightly as she says, “I’m ready to make cookies!”
Joel smiles apologetically. “Bad news, sweetheart. I gotta run down to a job site and check in on somethin’. Looks like a plumbin’ emergency.”
“On Christmas Eve?” She asks, smile dropping from her face. “But we have to make the cookies!”
“I know, I know, but Uncle Tommy will stay and help you. Ain’t that right, Tommy?”
“Yep. And we’ll make cookies better than any your daddy has ever made, too.”
Joel’s teeth grind together at the dig but he keeps smiling at his daughter. “Right. See? I shouldn’t be gone too long.”
“I guess,” she says forlornly. Her arms wrap around Joel’s legs and squeeze tightly. Joel smooths a hand over her wild hair, glaring at Tommy.
“Sorry, sweetie. But the sooner I head out, the sooner I can get back, okay?”
“Okay,” she mumbles against his thigh. “I’ll make sure Uncle Tommy doesn’t eat all the dough before we bake it.
“That’s my girl,” Joel says.
________
You knew you shouldn’t have waited this long to go shopping for your little sister’s Christmas gift, but you’d picked up extra shifts at your part time job since you weren’t flying home for the holiday break and time just slipped away from you. Now you’re entering your fourth store on a desperate hunt for the one toy she hasn’t stopped talking about since it came out in October.
“It’s called a Furby and the more you talk to it, the more it learns,” she told you, showing you the fluffy toy in a catalog one day. “Isn’t it so cute?!”
“It’s…something,” you replied, staring at its dead eyes. “And that’s what you want for Christmas?”
“Yeah, I don’t know if Santa will bring it for me. I told dad about it, but he’s been really busy with work and I don’t know if he remembered to tell Santa.”
You wander around the store, looking for the garish pink and blue sign that lorded over the toy display. You finally spot it, crossing your fingers as you quickly approach what looks like a mostly barren shelf. There’s something on the bottom row, but your experience in other stores has showed you that often people abandon their unwanted items in the Furby display, leading to false hope.
“Please, please, please,” You mumble, moving quickly now. You’re trying not to break into a run in the middle of the store but after so many disappointments, you can’t be blamed for your steps turning into a light jog.
A pair of unseeing mechanical blue eyes stare back at you from the bottom shelf as you get closer. Pristine white fur, pointed ears, and a little yellow beak encased in plastic.
The last Furby.
You’re so close to success you can taste it.
You reach for the toy, ready to scoop it into your arms and take a victory march to the lone cashier left working, when a tan hand emerges from your left, landing on the box just as you touch it.
“‘Scuse me,” a deep voice says, southern drawl blanketing the words. You look up, gaze meeting the warm brown eyes of a handsome man, tall and broad with messy dark curls. He smiles, all smooth charm as he says, “I’m goin’ to need this toy.”
You stand firm. “I think I was here first, sir.”
The charming smile drops. “No, I don’t think so.”
“Oh, yeah?”
“Look, I need this toy for my daughter. I’ve been lookin’ for one all over town.”
You place your free hand on your hip. “I need it for my little sister and I’ve also been all over town today. If you needed it so bad, why didn’t you get it sooner?”
“Pot, meet kettle,” he replies. You roll your eyes. “Come on, please? Ain’t there somethin’ else your little sister is dyin’ to have?”
“She’s talked about this toy for months,” you tell him. “And she’s worried Santa isn’t going to bring it, so I wanted to make sure I got her one.”
He smiles softly. “Sounds like my daughter. She handed me no less than five letters to Santa to mail off askin’ for one.”
“So why didn’t you get one before tonight?” You ask curiously.
“My dumbass brother,” he says. “I‘ve been workin’ overtime for the last few months, so I told him to go out and get one. He didn’t listen.”
“That sucks.”
“What about you? What made you wait so long?”
It should probably feel weird, having a full conversation with a stranger while you’re in a stand off over a Furby, but the man’s smile has your stomach twisting, wanting to know more about him and oddly thrilled that he wants to know more about you, too.
“I picked up a lot of extra shifts since I’m on break. I go to UT,” you tell him. “Time just got away from me.”
“Yeah, I’m familiar with the feelin’.”
A crackle sounds over the store speakers, a bored voice announcing, “Attention Toys R’ Us shoppers. The store will be closing in five minutes. Please make your way to the front of the store to complete your purchases.”
The man’s expression grows panicked. You sigh, taking your hand from the box.
“Get it for your daughter,” you tell him. “Keep that Santa magic going for a bit longer.”
“Are you sure?” He asks. “What’ll you get for your sister?”
You look around the store, spotting a sporting gear display. You take off in its direction.
“I’ll figure something out!”
________
“It’s a Furby!” Sarah shouts, shaking the box in her excitement. “Look, dad! Santa got me a Furby!”
“Is that so?” Joel says, sipping from his mug of coffee with a splash of Bailey’s, his own personal Christmas tradition. “See? I told ya I sent out all those letters you wrote.”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you!” She chants, running around the family room in her red plaid pajamas. Tommy, still barely awake, nods as Sarah shows him the list of features on the back.
It’s close to 9 a.m. but the Miller brothers had a late night of wrapping presents and drinking whiskey in order to have the tidy pile of brightly colored boxes ready beneath the tree for Sarah in the morning. Joel had also gotten her a new journal and a pack of Jelly pens, a few bottles of nail polish, and two new Beanie Babies for her collection. Tommy had sprung for a set of shin guards for when she starts soccer in March, something she was excited for ever since the girl she’d been paired with in her big sister after school program had played with her a few times.
It’s not much, but it’s what he could manage. Sarah is happy, her eyes lighting up with each gift she unwraps, and that’s all that matters to Joel.
A knock sounds at the door and Sarah races down the hall, Joel trailing after her trying to remind her not to open the door to strangers. The young girl doesn’t listen, instead throwing open the door and launching herself into the arms of someone surprisingly familiar.
You look up, eyes going wide in surprise he’s sure mirrors his own. Sarah drags you in by the hand, excitedly introducing you, giving Joel a name for the pretty face he’d been thinking about all last night.
“Hi, I’m Joel,” he says, holding a hand out to you. You slip your palm against his, warm and smooth, shaking his hand. The smile on your face is mischievous, the secret the two of you share dancing in your eyes.
“Nice to meet you, Joel,” you tell him. “Hope I’m not too early, Sarah said you open presents around eight and to come after that.”
“No, no, ‘course it ain’t too early,” he assures you. He realizes he’s still holding your hand, even as silence settles between you. With a laugh, he draws back, running his hand through his hair nervously. “You want coffee?”
“Sure.”
Joel leads you to the kitchen where Tommy is pulling a fresh tray of cinnamon rolls from the oven under Sarah’s careful supervision. He whacks her hand with a dish towel when she tries to reach for the steaming hot dessert and she pouts pitifully. She spots the gift bag in your hand and her eyes light up.
“Is that a present for me?” She asks.
“Sarah Elizabeth Miller,” Joel chastises. You laugh, handing the bag over to her. She rips the tissue paper from the top, reaching in for her gift with a wide smile.
“A soccer ball!” She exclaims. “Dad, you can help me practice in the backyard now!”
You share a look with Joel, one where his gaze is filled with gratitude and yours reflects understanding. The moment is made brief by Sarah trying to bounce the ball on her knee, knocking it onto a counter and subsequently being told to go put it away for now.
You introduce yourself to Tommy while Joel pulls you a mug of coffee. Sarah brings her now unboxed Furby into the kitchen, setting it in a place of honor on the dining table.
“Dad, can you put batteries in Snowball?” Sarah asks. She turns to you. “That’s his name.”
“Oh. Hello, Snowball,” you say, voice serious as you regard the toy. Joel laughs while he digs around the junk drawer for the rogue batteries that hide beneath bills and takeout menus.
As breakfast is served and toys are turned on, conversation flows between everyone easily. It’s a wonder, Joel thinks. You fit right in with his little family, like you were meant to be there all along. Maybe it’s the Bailey’s in his coffee, or maybe it’s the spirit of Christmas, but he can’t help the warmth in his chest as he watches you help Sarah with the Furby that started it all.
________
You’ve been at the Miller house since early that morning, through all three meals of the day, many rounds of coffee, a screening of Home Alone and A Christmas Story, and painting your nails with Sarah. Not once does anyone make you feel like you’ve overstayed your welcome. In fact, as the day wears on, you can’t help but think that Joel, like you, doesn’t want the day to end. You keep catching his eye and the crooked smile he gives you leaves you feeling giddy.
After dinner, Joel and Tommy start gathering what looks like cookie decorating supplies. Sarah sighs and you turn to her with concern.
“It’s time for the gingerbread competition,” she says, more solemn than an eight year old ought to be. Joel leaves the room and returns with a caulking gun.
“Why does he have that?” You ask, watching as he loads a saran wrapped bag of icing into the chamber.
“They take this…very seriously.”
Tommy and Joel set up decorating stations on either end of the dining table, shooing you out of your seat. Sarah grabs a cookie from a platter on the counter and settles onto a barstool while you stand by, confused and maybe a little scared.
“Are you ready?” Sarah asks. Both men nod. “Start your construction!”
Joel and Tommy rip into the cardboard gingerbread house kits, determination in every move. Joel uses the caulking gun to lay a foundation for the floor of his house, followed by the sides and the roof in quick succession. While Joel is going for a well built structure, Tommy takes a more avant garde approach, using a combination of licorice and frosting to hold his house together.
“Are they always like this?” You ask, fascinated as you watch them.
“Sometimes they’re worse.”
Tommy chucks a peppermint at Joel’s head, the candy bouncing off his forehead and landing on his gingerbread shingles. He counters with a gumdrop that manages to hit Tommy square in the eye, angry curses falling from the younger Miller brother’s lips as he tries to recover and continue the construction of his mid-century cookie home.
“Quit fightin’ dirty,” Joel says when Tommy whines about him being unfair. “I‘ll only fight dirtier.”
You know that the words aren’t meant to be suggestive but you can feel your cheeks go warm nonetheless. The Furby in Sarah’s arms coos, a string of indecipherable words coming from its little yellow beak.
“What did it say?” You ask.
“I’m not sure. It’s still speaking Furbish,” she says.
“It said,” Joel chimes in, setting down his frosting gun, “that I’m the gingerbread construction champ.”
Joel’s little gingerbread house looks like it’s straight from a magazine. Perfectly built, structurally sound, and classically decorated with candy and sugar. You and Sarah both applaud as Tommy groans. His little house lists to the side and a glob of icing drips to the table.
“Don’t worry, Uncle Tommy,” Sarah says to her dejected uncle, patting him on the shoulder. “There’s always next year.”
“Alright, it’s time to start closin’ up shop. To bed with you,” Joel announces, steering Sarah for the stairs.
“Can’t I stay up later?” She complains. The Furby echoes her tone convincingly.
“I already fell for that last night. You’re not gettin’ away with it twice. Bed, and brush your teeth,” he replies, kissing her on the head. “Tell everyone goodnight.”
She hugs you and Tommy before heading upstairs, the Furby chirping as she goes. Tommy punches Joel lightly on the shoulder.
“You know I let you win, right?” He asks. Joel scoffs.
“The proof is in the cookie,” he says.
Tommy rolls his eyes. “Whatever, man. I’m headin’ home,” he says, hugging his brother. To your surprise, his arms wrap around you in a quick squeeze as well. “It was nice to meet you. Don’t be a stranger,” he tells you with a wink.
When the front door clicks shut, it’s just you and Joel in the kitchen. You’re inexplicably nervous now, despite spending the whole day with the man, and you busy yourself by loading the dishwasher with mugs stained by hot chocolate and coffee.
“You don’t have to do that,” Joel says, gently grasping your wrist. He removes the mug from your hand and sets it on the counter. He pulls you close, your chest brushing his as you take in a surprised breath. “This okay?”
“Yeah,” you murmur. Up close, you can see the stubble that’s grown along his jaw, the slight creases in the corners of his eyes, and that his nose is just the slightest bit crooked. A heavy palm rests on your lower back, the heat of him palpable even through your t-shirt.
“Can I kiss you?” He asks, voice dropped low in the quiet room.
You nod, unable to form words, but that’s okay. His hand cups your cheek and his lips press to yours and your eyes flutter shut, a sigh escaping you as you lean into him. It’s soft at first, experimental. A tentative exploration of a broken boundary.
You wrap your arms around his shoulders, holding tight as he parts your lips and his tongue tangles with yours. He tastes like sugar - peppermints and hot chocolate and cookies that he’s eaten throughout the day sweetening his kiss. When he pulls back for a breath, he dips his forehead against yours, smoothing his thumb across your cheek.
“Been wantin’ to do that all day,” he tells you. He kisses you once, twice, and is about to go in for a third when a voice from upstairs interrupts him.
“Dad?” Sarah calls. Joel steps back from you, leaning past the kitchen doorway to yell back a, “Yeah?”
“Snowball won’t stop talking,” she replies. Footsteps sound on the stairs and Joel breaks away from you as Sarah enters the kitchen, Furby in hand.
“Take the batteries out,” Joel suggests.
“I did.”
She turns the toy over, showing the empty battery compartment. Joel rubs the back of his neck as he thinks.
“Tell you what,” he says, holding his hands out for the toy, “Why don’t we stick it in the hall closet for the night?”
“Won’t he be scared?”
“It’s…it’s a toy, baby.” You stifle a laugh as he shoves the talking Furby beneath some towels in the linen closet and shuts the door. “There, now you can both get some sleep. You can play with Snowball again in the mornin’.”
Sarah yawns, nodding. Joel kisses her head before urging her back to bed. When he returns, his shoulders shake with silent laughter.
“What a weird toy,” you tell him, eyeing the closet suspiciously.
“Yeah, but it’s what got us here,” he says, pulling you into his arms once more.

How to be Coquette:
IN AUTUMN ( a guide)
🍂˚ ༘ ೀ⋆。˚☕️
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
🍂˚ ༘ ೀ⋆。˚☕️ ⋆。˚ 🍁🎃🍂
It’s the best time of year (in my opinion) and dressing Coquette/embracing the Coquette lifestyle in the colder months is one of the best things about this aesthetic.
Here’s how to be coquette in Autumn/Fall: ♡
˖⁺.🎧🍂☕️🎃🕸️˙⊹🤎🧸 ˖⁺.
THE COQUETTE FALL WARDROBE: (I’m doing a desperate blog post on this but here are some essentials to get your wardrobe going) Oversized sweaters, long sleeved tops, oversized cardigans, pleated skirts, jeans, long skirts, tights, leg warmers D.M’s or Mary Janes, a tote bag.
Try and ROMANTICISE SCHOOL. We’re now officially in “back to school” season, and romanticising school is a great way to get through it (I have a separate blog post on this coming soon and have also made videos about it!) but just think… Early morning’s, drinking coffee in bed and reading, getting up early to study when it’s still dark outside and everyone’s still asleep, reading on your breaks in school, listening to music on the way to and from school… ahhhhh perfect <3
Drink Coffee! (If you don’t like Coffee, drink warm drinks like Tea, Hot Chocolate etc) in pretty mugs and coffee cups. Try and start a mug collection!
Study more. This time of year seem so much more motivational to be studying in. Every night, set aside a designated time. Light some candles, make a snack, get a warm drink, put your headphones on, get a blanket and get studying <3
Start an “Autumn Journal” fill it with beautiful pictures of Autumn, leaves, doodles, pictures of you and your friends from this fall. Then decorate the front of it with Autumn leaves, ribbons, bows and lace <3
Bake! Baking is such a coquette activity especially this time of year. Invest in an apron, & try baking some really Autumnal treats, such as cinnamon rolls, pumpkin pie and heart jam cookies! (There are LOADS of recipes online for loads of cute Autumn baking treats)
Watch Autumn movies and shows to get you in the mood! Gilmore girls (ofc), over the garden wall, You’ve got mail, when Harry met Sally, Dead poets society & Harry Potter are some of my faves <3
Make a “Coquette Autumn” playlist and fill it with Lana (ofc) Taylor Swift (Folklore & Evermore are on top) and beautiful classical music you can listen to when studying. I actually have my own “Coquette Fall” playlist that I will link and you can listen to right here!
Decorate your bedroom/space for Autumn. Invest in some light Autumnal bedsheets, pink brown & beige blankets and throws, fairy-lights, candles, pillows, a bed canopy, seasonal garlands. Anything that is going to make your room feel like an Autumnal Coquette Princess sanctuary <3
READ. Read every chance you get. Reading more books this time of year is just so much more magical for some reason. You want to be that person who is always seen reading, beauty & brains. Read whatever you like! Try and pick up some classics if you want to challenge yourself or something with Autumnal cozy feels. You could even try the “Rory Gilmore reading challenge” but this might take a while…
Use “Rory Gilmore” as inspiration for this time of year! Rory is such a good role model (in some aspects) she’s comfy, but cozy and cute with her fashion, she’s incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable and always pushes herself to exceed. Try doing your homework or assignments as soon as you get them, drink coffee and wear oversized cable-knit sweaters, then take an Autumnal walk to feel like Rory
Keep an “Autumn Diary” and every night before bed, kiss the pages and write/reflect upon the day you have had. (Listen to classical music whilst you write, it’s so relaxing!)
Create COZY Morning & Night routines. This way you will be motivated when you wake up, and relaxed/happy when you go to sleep. Getting into a routine is so important for a productive day <3
Go to a coffee shop, get a coffee or hot drink, listen to classical music in your headphones and read/study! (Bonus points if your wearing an oversized sweater)
Try out some new Autumn hairstyles for school. Adorn your hair with Autumn coloured ribbons and bows
Look into some “Autumnal self care” activities. This could be as simple as purchasing a new pumpkin hand cream or updating your entire skincare/beauty care routine with new Autumn scents, colours and products. Now we are coming into the colder months, our skin and body’s “well being” is so important!
Take up some Autumn hobbies. (Crocheting, painting, flower pressing, baking etc) all are such beautiful and sweet hobby’s, very cozy and perfect for this season!
Take LOADS of Autumnal walks. Around your city, your school, where you live. Collect Autumn leaves and flowers when your walking to later press into an old book on your vanity, and use them in your journal <3
Try a new Autumn makeup look. The coquette “Doe” eye makeup is so perfect or this time of year, and experiment with Browns, Beige’s and coppers in your eyeshadow
Drink Pumpkin spice latte’s from Starbucks and read whilst your getting your coffee
Keep applying lipgloss/lip balm throughout the day, hand cream and moisturiser of an evening, this weather makes your lips and skin dry-up like crazy!
Invest in some new pink or brown, cozy Autumn pyjamas (make sure they are warm and cozy!)
Have a signature Autumn scent (Miss Dior, Chanel?) something deep and dark for the colder months <3
Update your Autumn handbag/purse/schoolbag and fill it with all of your cold weather, studying, school and Autumn essentials! (I’m making a separate post on this soon)
Eat soups, Pumpkin pancakes, oatmeal, hot- chocolate’s, homemade cookies and bread! All are such Autumnal foods <3

I hope this helped some of you Romanticise (what I now consider to be the best time of year) and make it the most Coquette Fall you’ve ever had, I love you all and will see you tomorrow (I’m going to try and blog everyday throughout Autumn)
Sending you all my love… - (@coqxette)

Homemade Overnight Cinnamon Rolls - Sally's Baking Addiction

Note
Percy who asks babysitter reader to spend the night when he goes for a sleepover so his mum isn't alone,,, uh huh (me in a monocle behind you)
percy is playing a game of matchmaker. whether he realizes it or not.
his bag is thrown over his back, his arm only looped through one strap. sally had told him to carry it correctly or else he could injure himself, but her words sounded like nothing other than a worrying mother doing worrying motherly things so he continued to carry his backpack however he pleased.
you noticed, eyes glancing at the other strap that hangs loosely, but you said nothing. percy started to smile at you.
“are you gonna stay with my mom tonight?”
you take a second, hesitating, staring straight ahead at you for the crosswalk light to change. percy was going to suggest just walking already, there weren’t any cars coming. at least, not cars coming super close. but he knew you wouldn’t want to risk it, at least not while he’s with you.
“why would i?”
the light changes and you take a step, waiting for percy to mirror you before continuing.
when percy speaks, it’s matter of factly, like you’re in the wrong for not considering.
“so she wouldn’t be alone.”
you hum, walking in silence for a few paces before stopping outside of the desert bar you tended to treat yourself and percy to on friday nights, like tonight.
it's ten minutes later when you're continuing on your journey, both of you biting into overpriced and mediocre cinnamon rolls that make up in size for what they lack in quality. you haven't answered percy's question, and he hasn't forgotten it. he finishes off the rest of the tooth rotting treat before bringing it up again.
"so ... are you staying over?"
you sigh, stopping at the next crosswalk and turning to percy with your arms crossed. "maybe. if she asks me to. why do you want me to stay over so badly?"
he shrugs. "because i don't want her to be alone."
he's telling the truth, and he really doesn't understand why you're treating him like he has ulterior motives.
"your mom can take good care of herself."
"but she's more calm when you're over."
"she's calm when you're over."
"exactly and i'm not going to be over tonight," the light changes and you both cross. a car making a right turn honks at you two, and percy thinks he sees you sending your middle finger over before urging percy to walk a little faster with a hand on his backpack.
he continues speaking when you're on the sidewalk once more.
"which is why you should stay over."
he's at the apartment building of his friend now, watching you click the buzzer and telling them that percy has arrived. when the door clicks open, you pull it open for him.
"if your mom wants me to stay over tonight, then i'll stay. i'll be back to get you in the morning. have fun."
the hosts of percy's sleepover end up dropping him off in the morning. he arrives unannounced, bleary eyed, and intensely craving pancakes. he unlocks the door, satisfied to already smell the food he wants the most, and any worries he has buried deep beneath the exhaustion evaporate into the deliciously smelling air whenever he sees you and sally standing in the kitchen, wearing the other's shirt.
unless he's more tired than he realized.

Emergency Meeting
~After Sally and Julie found the note, they summoned the entire neighborhood for an emergency: Eddie was missing!~
Sally: *She looked at Y/n who entered last* Y/n! Thank goodness, it’s terrible! Just terrible!
Y/n: Where’s Eddie?!
Poppy: *Was comforting Julie* We have no idea!
Frank: He couldn’t have gotten far. *He pulled out a cinnamon roll still in it’s wrapper* Mr. Dear loves to eat these. He eats them whenever he can. 
Wally: *looks at it* Oooooh...

Sally Face lore from the Sally Face: Strange Nightmares Kickstarter
I haven’t seen anyone do this yet (as far as I can tell!) and I’ve always admired the sally face community. With how lovely the community continues to be and with the revitalization it’s been given due to the sally face kickstarter; I’ve decided to come out of my shell and give back to the community I admire! I’ve gone through every single scrap of info through the entirety of the kickstarter (streams, lore given to backers, and some questions he answered on twitter!) to put all the lore revealed by Steve Gabry himself into one place for everyone to use however they wish! If anyone would like to watch the streams then please go to:
Beneeta_K (Twitch Streamer)’s 2 streams they did with Steve Gabry:
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1739974869  (Where they play the board game from the kickstarter)
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1752120791  (The kick off Q&A they did at the start of the kickstarter)
And the 4 streams on Steve Gabry (Portable Moose)’s youtube channel will be located under the ‘Live’ tab. Here’s a link to his channel: https://www.youtube.com/@PortableMoose/streams
This is made with love from a sally face fan who’s been around since chapter one came out all those years ago, thanks for making such a wonderful game Steve! I hope you all enjoy! <3 (Sorry it's so late!)
Pink is Steve Gabry answering questions and Black is the Questions!
-THE STREAM LORE-       (in no particular order)
:Q: “Are any of the gang in a band?”
A: “They tried to start a band together at some point, but they didn't do much with that.”
Q: “What instrument does each character play?”
A: “Sal plays the guitar, Todd plays the keyboard,Larry plays the drums, Ash sings and plays bass.” Steve at the end says, ‘By the way, I didn’t say they play well. They loved it though.’
Q: “What kind of music did the band make and what were they named?”
A: “They would have played grunge rock with a 90’s vibe with the keyboard.” 
(Steve says in the stream that they did not pick a band name, he would imagine that they would have a long piece of paper with a lot of band names on them, some crossed out some not, but they wouldn’t have been able to pick one lol.)
Q: “What song would Sal absolutely love?”
A: “Before he met Larry, he was mostly into rock, grunge, and punk, And then when he met Larry he started really getting into metal.”
Q: “What is Sal's favorite baked good?”
A: “You know what, let’s make it cinnamon rolls.”
Q: “Is Gizmo okay?”
A: “Gizmo is fine, he’s doing good.”
Q: “What is the story about the homeless man on floor 5?”
A: “Well he’s a man, he is homeless, he is on floor 5, sometimes he’s not on floor 5; how ‘bout that?”
Q: “Who was the intended person for Travis’s note?”
A: “I’ve answered this question many times, but people don’t like the answer, so they keep asking. So the answer is, I have someone in mind, but I purposely left it open for you guys to think about who you want it to be.”
Q: “What is Sal’s ideal date night?”
A: “Having a date.”
A: “I think he would enjoy doing something in nature, he would also enjoy just going to see a horror movie, playing video games, going to a concert, something like that.” 
Q: “What is Larry’s ideal date?”
A: “Definitely listening to metal, in some form, going to a metal concert, getting some pizza.”
Q: “What is Travis’s ideal date?”
A: “I feel like getting far away from Nockfell and doing something outside the city, getting away from his parents and school. Just a place where he doesn’t have to be around people he knows.”  
Q: “What is Ashley’s ideal date?”
A: “She probably would like to go to an art museum or some sort of art exhibit or maybe going to see a play.”
Q: “Todd’s ideal date?”
A: “Definitely going to some sort of science center, going to see some kind of new technology, some educational thing you would enjoy doing or going to a paranormal convention.”
Q: “Did the four horsemen have sleepovers?”
A: “Oh yeah, 100%, all the time.”
Q:“What is the story between Janice and Ray?”
A: “They’re Todd’s parents, they are a little bit ‘burned out’, you know? They’re very loving, open-minded, and kind hearted. They’re a little bit ‘burned out’, they’re spacy, Janice is a little more ‘burned out’ than Ray you may have noticed. She gets ‘burned out’ and forgets what she’s talking about a lot.”
Q: “Is Ash emo?”
A: “No, I mean you have to remember when they're in high school it’s like the 90’s it wasn’t really, you know… there’s Daria hahaha.”
Q: “If Travis survived from the hole,what do you think he’d be up too?”
A: “What do you think he’d be up to?”  
Q: “What are the kiddo’s favorite colors?”
A: “Sal’s is blue or pink, Larry is red or black, Ash is purple, Todd is green, Travis likes black.”
Q: “Why did Jim’s puzzlebox turn into a rubix cube?”
A: “Why did that happen?”
Q: “Where did Gizmo get all those stickers from?”
A: “Where does anyone get stickers from?”
Q: “Is Gizmo a salmon guy or chicken guy?”
A: “He loves both, Gizmo just likes to eat.”
Q: “What is Larry’s love language?”
A: “Larry’s is physical touch.”
Q: “What is Sal’s love language?”
A: “Sal’s love language is definitely quality time.”
Q: “Does Sal have a game cube?”
A: “Yeah, he has a game cube.”
Q: “What flavor is Addison Tea?”
A: “It’s Addison flavor.”
Q: “What is the vending machine’s love language?”
A: “Physical touch.”
Q: “What is the homeless guy on floor 5’ love language?”
A: “Here’s the thing with the homeless guy, before it would have been giving gifts, before the way he is now.”
Q: “How often does Travis cry?”
A: “I think he probably cries frequently but secretly and intensely.”
Q: “Is Todd autistic?”
A: “You know he might be on the spectrum, he’s very socially allowed and very blunt. He doesn’t have a lot of social cases.”
Q: “What was Todd and Neil’s first date?”
A: “They met in the library, their first date, probably would have just been going for a walk somewhere and talking.”
~Backer Bonus Lore Given~
-Waiting for Chocolate: In episode two, chug is downstairs waiting for the vending machine guy to come and refill it with delicious snacks. He usually comes every other Saturday and Chug is always there to greet him. However, this time, the vendor does not show up. I originally had a side story planned about the vending machine guy going missing and Chug being very concerned about that. Even though that story didn't make it into the game, the detail is still there. The vending machine guy is gone and his machine remains empty for the rest of the game.
-The Open Road: Ash's dad, Adam Campbell, was a mechanic and always had some project going on in the garage. One of his prized possessions was eventually passed down to Ashley, once she was old enough. It was something she had her eye on for a long time: his motorcycle. Adam even taught Ash to to ride at a young age. So she was already comfortable riding it by the time she was legally allowed to. It became second nature to her. Sometimes she goes out riding, just to clear her head. Ash loves the freedom of the open road.
-Nutmeg: Grieving Mrs.Gibson recives an unwanted gift from a relative. It's a little brown rabbit. Somehow this animal is meant to fill the hole left by her late husband. The rabbit was seen as a burden to Mrs.Gibson, just another thing to take care of. She was too old for this. She didn't even bother to name it at first. Then, slowly, she found herself growing attached to the little critter. When the rabbit was one year old, Gibson made a special meal for her and finally gave her a name. She decided to call her Nutmeg. A nickname that Gibson's husband used to call her.
-Twitter Spontaneous AMA-
Q: Did Travis know about the Devourers of God and Kenneth's involvement in it, or was he kept in the dark about it until he joined?
A: He didn't know when he was younger.
Q: Did the characters come first or were they designed after you came up with the concept for the game?
A: Sal came first, then Larry with the basic idea, then the story and other characters came at the same time.
Q: Two very important questions: Would you consider making it possible to pet gizmo in sally face two (if he's still alive) and do you have this wedding photograph in higher quality?
A: Maybe! And it was drawn at that small scale, so this is the in-game asset is as high res as it gets-
Tumblr media
Q: When is the next video game coming?
A: I'm HOPING to release a small project with Wither Studios (nothing SF related) MAYBE towards the end of this year. These things are very hard to predict in advance. Which is why games are always being delayed. So I try not to make promises until I know for sure.
Q: Will we get the $250k stretch goal on the Kickstarter even if we don't reach it?
A: I think we'll definitely pass that goal (The goal at the end was $306,947!)
Q: Is Sal legally allowed to drive since he is missing an eye?
A: Yes!
Q: Did you write and sing all of the Sanity's Fall songs?
A: Yeah, I did all the music including everything for the SF songs.
Q: What program did you use to make the sally face art?
A: I used Photoshop and a Wacom drawing tablet.
Q: Why were Chug and Soda dull when cleansing the apartment?
A: You can actually find this answer in the game! If you play close attention during that part.
Q: 1) Why does Sal grab his pigtails in Packerton's apartment when he thinks they're about to get caught? Is that something he does for comfort? 2) When did Sal first start expressing himself with his hair, and what did Henry initially think?
A: 1) It's a nervous response. Just like someone may cover their face or mouth when scared. 2) Once his mom die, he let his hair grow out. Soon after it got long enough, he started with the pigtails. Henry thought it was a little odd at first but was fine with it.
Q: Did it ever cross your mind to add voice acting to the game? Recently watched Featherfall studio's fan-dub and the game looks even more interesting with voices.
A: It's something that I've thought about but I would be SO picky about getting the right voices. So idk. Plus it'd be a big pain to add retroactively. Maybe more likely in the second game, if I decide to add voices.
Q: We know Travis and Todd are gay, but what about the other characters? Do you have any idea?
A: I will say that Sal is purposely left ambiguous so that players can project their own feelings onto him. Though I have my own ideas about him too.
Q: What was your favorite part about developing Sally Face (Or making the board game)?
A: I love creating the world and seeing it come to life. It's also something truly special to see people connect with my work on an emotional level.
Q: One of my favorite Youtubers just finished the game, ad i was wondering when the second Sally Face is going to come out because it did say it'll be continued.
A: It's very early in development, so I don't have any timelines right now. If you're interested, I made a retrospective of the development history and some more insight here; https://youtu.be/JZPOx2jMLxE?si=r-N4mcDZC40MrtJr
Q: Is there a reason why Sal has long hair instead of short hair?
A: Because he likes it long.
Q: If I were to make a video playing the game Sally Face would you take down the video for copyright?
A: I'm always happy to see people playing Sally Face. I wouldn't copyright strike any content creators for playing or streaming the game.
Q: Why were there so many empty letters addressed to Sal?
A: They may not be so empty after all.
Q: What's in Addison's Tea?
A: You don't wanna know.
Q: Is Lisa Johnson a Latina?
A: Her family is mostly from Spain and Italy.
Q: Do you think some people would actually believe Sal on trail since it was close to the satanic panic era, or the satanic panic era was already dead then?
A: There might be some people out there who believe him.
Q: Are you planning on adding more official language translations into the game, and what ethnicity is Travis intended to be, if he has any?
A: I don't have any concrete plans right now, it just takes a lot of time and effort. But I'd like to add some more language support in the future, if possible. And Travis is multiracial.
Q: What are the SF character's favorite IRL songs?
A: Larry's favorite song is a Sanity's Fall on you haven't heard yet.
Q: How and when did Todd and Neil meet?
A: They met in the library.
Q: What was the idea behind different art styles in the game?
A: I've been obsessed with the idea of alternate realities since I was in high school (before all the cool kids were doing it lol) and for a long time I've wanted to make a game with multiple art styles, revolving around this idea of different realities.
Q: Since Lisa's family is from Spain, does Larry speak or know any Spanish?
A: He knows some but isn't fluent.
Q: Will the second part of the game be released in episodes like the first.
A: Still debating on this. I'm curious to see what fans think, I'll make poll! (He did create a poll, staggered episodes was what won the poll on twitter.)
Thank you very much for reading this post! Have a Great Day or Night!

Hey, I had this giant list of Welcome Home as Incorrect quotes (I made it cause I was bored) and thought it would be funny to share some with the internet:
.
Eddie: My hands are cold.
Frank: Here, let me hold them.
Eddie: My lips are cold too.
Frank: *covers Eddie's mouth with their hand*
.
Frank: Julie gets offended by everything.
Julie: What did you say about me?!?
Frank:
Frank: Case in point.
.
Barnaby: I know this isn’t going to end well and I don’t care. So don’t you try and stop me, Wally!
Wally: I wasn’t stopping you. I was asking if you had a spare camera so I can record this.
.
*the Squad at Disneyland, in the teacups*
Frank, Eddie, and Poppy: *spinning a little and talking*
Barnaby, Wally, and Julie: *flying past them, spinning as fast as they can, screaming*
.
Howdy: Wally, you’re such a genius!
Wally: Yes, I know.
.
Wally: We’re having a moment, aren’t we?
Frank: If by 'a moment' you mean me not wanting to strangle you for the first time since we met, then I guess we are.
.
*At a dinner party, the guests converse while the host is away*
Poppy: So how do you know the host?
Julie: They were a former vegan, and they bought milk.

Barnaby: I pulled them over for money laundering.
Sally: I'm chaperoning their dinner party.
Howdy: They stole a baconator!
Frank: That B****!

.
Barnaby: Why do you think I don’t like you? I do. I would kill for you.
Barnaby: Ask me to kill for you.
Eddie: ...First of all, calm down-
.
Julie, hungover: Please tell me I'm imagining that I claimed I was king of the ducks.
Eddie: I would, but then I would be lying to the King of All Ducks.
.
Howdy: Hey Sally, listen, corporate makes us do this every year, but this is just a little manager evaluation form. You just fill it out, let them know how I'm doing, you know?
Sally: Alright! Uh, "Is your manager manipulative?"
Howdy: I'd say "No" to that if I were you.
.
Howdy: Barnaby, I am questioning your sanity...
Frank: I never questioned it, I knew their sanity was missing from the start.
.
Barnaby: *coughs blood*
Wally: Don't die, Barnaby!
Barnaby: Don't tell me what to do!
.
Barnaby: Why did you kidnap Wally!?!?!
Howdy: Ah- um- well- the reason for that is, uhh...
Frank: Sometimes, we must work together towards a common goal.
Barnaby: NOT TO KIDNAP PEOPLE!
.
Frank: Heyyy Eddie, how’s your… drink??
Eddie: What do you mean drink? It’s coffee.
Frank: You sure?? *Looks to coffee maker*
Eddie: *Looks to coffee maker*
*Cement sitting beside the coffee maker*
Eddie:...I’m on my third fucking drink right now, I should be dead.
.
Frank, pointing to the wall: What color is this?
Sally: Gray.
Howdy: Grey.
Frank, turning to Barnaby: Now tell them what color you think it is.
Barnaby: Dark white.
.
Howdy: I just found out from Eddie today that when Barnaby died and the service did the 21-gun salute at their funeral, Julie said, “They should aim at the coffin to be sure.”
.
Barnaby: Sometimes I'll start a sentence and I don't even know where it's going. I just hope I find it along the way.
.
Wally: I am darkness. I am an power. I am your worst nightmare. I could kill a man in more ways than you can imagine. I am the night. I am fury, I am a weapon, I am-
Barnaby: A doll.
Julie: A cinnamon roll.
Eddie: A sweetheart.
Wally:
Wally: ...stop it.
.
Poppy: Frank won’t come out of their room!
Sally: Just tell them I said something.
Poppy: Like what?
Sally: Anything factually incorrect.
Poppy, shrugging: If you say so.
Frank, arriving moments later: Did you just say the sun is a PLANET?
.
Wally: Every zoo is a petting zoo unless you’re a coward.
Barnaby: I’m worried about you.
.
Wally: As your best friend—
Viewer: [Insert Name] is my best friend.
Wally, holding a knife: As your best friend—
.
Julie: Sorry it took so long to bail you out of jail.
Barnaby: No, it was my fault. I shouldn't have used my phone call to prank call the police station.
.
Wally: Hey guys! I drew everyones soul!
Howdy: Why is Julie's a monster?
Julie: Wally, you forgot your's! It's only an empty space!
Wally, proudly: Exactly
.
Wally: Why am I the bad guy?
Frank: I don't know, why am I the pretty one? We all have our thing.
.
Wally: Maybe the real monster was the friends we both literally and figuratively murdered along the way.
.
Hope everyone enjoyed it. Maybe I'll make another one if I'm feeling like it. Like I said, I have a whole list, so I'm sure I'll be set for a little while.

Unhinged thoughts as I explore the website update—
⭐ Sally has such cat energy climbing up the got-dang tree.  (Or wait—someone put her there??  A puppeteer maybe??)
🐛 OMG HOWDY’S PEDDLING GAY CIGARETTES, always knew this day would come
🎅 Santa’s eating sounds are so unsettling, is he some sort of demon in this universe? Thinking there might be something to that, like is it hinting there is some sort of monster in their midst (maybe not Santa himself, just someone)?
🐾 I’m laugh so hard at Barnaby’s Whose Kid is This song, I feel it so hard
💌 WHAT HAPPENED TO EDDIE I’M GONNA FLY INTO THE SUN THIS ISN’T WHAT I WANTED FOR OUR SWEET CINNAMON ROLL AHHHHH
💌 (Oh my god is he gonna be removed from the website on the next update you think???)
🦋 Frank breaking and calling him Eddie instead of Mr. Dear I’m crying I think they might already be in a relationship at this point and were trying to hide it I’m so scared for them oh nooooooo
🦋 (Also wondering if Frank’s Ode to Hibernation song is actually about Eddie 😭😭😭)
🍎 Fffff Wally seems so sad, I wonder at what point this phone call took place.  Had all his friends already disappeared at this point? :< poor darling
🧩 (Spoilers if you want to figure out the website yourself, but here is the link to the secret videos/audios: https://www.awayfrompryingeyes.net/ .  I have a hard time with puzzles myself so I appreciate people pointing it out!)
💜 Amazing job Clown and team as always, thank you for this food!!! Hope you get to rest for a long time!!! 💜
Someone please tell me Eddie’s gonna be okay help 🥲

Tumblr media
Descendants OC time! (so far anyway lol)
(Keep in mind that their profiles aren't entirely finished; some of them I haven't fully developed yet, but this is them in general)
Tumblr media
Penelope (daughter of Pinocchio) Penelope always smells of wood and paint, and always has fresh sawdust on her apron from carving; she is very artsy and loves sketching and painting, as well as reading books. (Her grandfather Geppetto taught her how to carve when she was younger, and now she loves creating and making things.)
She is much like her father (happy-go-lucky, etc), but she is also mature for her age. She is 14 years old.
She is also a dancer (mainly dances ballet and contemporary).
Her nickname is Ellie, and her favorite snack is warm cinnamon rolls.
Penelope Pinterest aesthetic board: https://pin.it/16pKoxC
Tumblr media
Sophie (daughter of Stromboli) Sophie is a dancer and a gymnast, and loves performing. Like her father, she has a bit of a temper when she gets angry (but not as much).
She loves listening to music, and she loves wearing blouses. She is 14 years old.
Sophie Pinterest aesthetic board: https://pin.it/7s02Kxm
Tumblr media
Chrissy (daughter of the Coachman) Chrissy and her father are almost polar opposites. She owns a small whip that her father has gifted her, she has vowed to herself never to use it to beat animals (she loves animals and would never treat them cruelly); she only uses it to practice whip-cracking tricks.

My Favorite Papa Joel Moments (Pt. 4):
Tumblr media
🦠 I thought it was touching how Joel was so discretely loving to Ellie in Wyoming. He was in full father mode. The panic attacks are obviously on her behalf. The look on his face when he wakes up to find her on watch is so bewildered and afraid. How could I? How could I put her in danger like that? The way he told Ellie to get down from the boulder as she star gazed, clearly ALWAYS thinking of her safety. When he automatically knew she loved Sally Ride, because he knows her. The speed in which he grabbed her hand when they were ambushed, and how quickly he pushed her behind him. Joel is such a tender person when it comes to Ellie. He has plenty of darkness and strength in him but he’s still such a cinnamon roll somehow. I adore this man!
🦠 The way Joel implodes when he talks to Tommy…it may be one the most vulnerable, emotional moments I’ve seen from a man on television, period. The way he talks; soft, almost manic, and shaking with emotion is just—I can’t handle it. The way the depth of his fear, equally motivated by his love for Ellie and the nightmare of losing a daughter again, makes him so tortured and vulnerable…It’s so strong he blurs both his girls together and he’s been stuck there for months. He’s already been stuck for 20 years, rooted to the spot where Sarah died in his arms and now every connection with Ellie makes it even worse. The only thing Joel can think to do is to hand her off to someone he believes will do a better job. Though you can tell it hurts, he says “I have to leave her” like trying to convince himself that’s what’s needed. Like it’s his final, tearful bid to rid himself of this nightmare, even if it takes his beloved girl away, he’ll at least be sane. But there’s even a sadness in this revelation too, cause it’s almost too late. He knows she’s like a daughter to him now, no matter what. Our boi just needs a hug! 😩 (and again can we give Pedro every award, cause this is some of the best acting I’ve ever seen!!)
🦠Then after seeing ALL that emotion from Joel, the way he tells Ellie they’re separating is so profoundly different. Gone is the crying, soft man we saw just moments before and he’s replaced with the gruff, closed off version we’re all used to. Showing he puts a lot of effort into that persona for her and everyone around him. “Do you give a shit about me or not?” I love how the immediate answer is “Course I do.” He says it like he’s upset about that being so viscerally true, like yes it’s true, that’s why I’m making this impossible choice. But the moment Ellie mentions Sarah it’s over. He shuts down the moment he hears her name, showing why no one has spoken it around him up until now, not Tess, not Tommy, not Frank or Bill, no one. This is the first time he’s ever truly angry with Ellie and he uses that momentum to try and effectively cut off their relationship. “You’re not my daughter.” But the moment he leaves the room and is away from Ellie’s eyes he’s crying all over again. Yeah, like anyone believed that one, Joel. 🤷🏽‍♀️
