#corpse bunny needs a bath

[aufucker]

CW: descriptions of corpse decay, mention of drug overdose, childhood trauma

It was summer.

You were young when your mom died. Too young to understand. You thought she was just sleeping and refused to wake up.

And she stayed asleep. You gave her your stuffed rabbit, a floppy thing of a light shade of brown with embroidered eyes. It stayed with her the whole time. She was asleep for days.

It was summer.

You were a responsible kid, you thought. You fed yourself. Bathed yourself. Took yourself to bed. You tried every day to wake her up. She started to look strange, swollen and her skin looked bruised. You thought you could see her eyes trying to open. She started to smell bad. She needed to be more like you, you knew how to take a bath all by yourself.

It was summer.

You didn't try to wake her up anymore. You didn't want to look at her. You couldn't explain it, but the sight of her face made you uncomfortable. Her mouth opened at some point, it looked black inside and her lips looked purple and she was all the colors she shouldn't be, so far from the warm brown that matched you. Everything smelled so saccharine and it burned your nose. Your rabbit looked more red. You were getting hungry.

When you knocked on the neighbor's apartment door, you didn't expect the police to be called. You thought you were in trouble. You didn't expect people with masks and white fabric suits to take away the stiff and blackened bedding that held your mother's imprint, her shadow, her

Bio. You knew that now. Waste. Hazard. Filth. Disease.

When you were a kid, you sobbed when they bagged up your rabbit, soaked with red turned black and wriggling with freeloading maggots. You were scolded for interrupting the cleaner, you shouldn't have been there in the first place.

Behind the mask, you saw how her tired eyes were. A tired you understand intimately now. But you saw her tired eyes crinkle behind her re-breather and heard her muffled voice, alien but tender, "I'll get 'im cleaned up for you, okay honey? Your bunny just… needs a good bath. Okay?"

You know now that you never got that rabbit back. You know now your mother took too many opioids, as she usually did. But back then, you were none the wiser.

Back then, a barely familiar woman went out of her way to find you, all to give you a stuffed rabbit, a floppy thing of a light shade of brown with embroidered eyes, fresh and new.

It was summer. You hate the heat.

Restless Rewatch: The Untamed, Episode 33 part two

(Masterpost) (Pinboard)

Warning! Spoilers for All 50 Episodes!

Side Note: As you know, I mostly except for sex scenes try not to compare CQL to its parent work, MDZS, because I think different works should get to be their own things. But I do love the book and all its many adaptations, and in case you want to dive into all of that, I’ve put together a roundup of everything I’m aware of (Novel, Donghua, Manhua, etc.) that’s available in English, and where to find them. That post is over here.  

Morning in Cloud Recesses

It’s morning, and by the time Wei Wuxian gets out of bed, Lan Wangji has already stretched, made breakfast, folded the laundry, and gone to play his guqin by the waterfall.

Wei Wuxian steps outside and takes a deep breath, happy to be staying in a place that doesn’t smell like lava or corpses.

He wanders through the oddly empty cloud recesses, hallucinating about happier times. These are not normal flashbacks; he is in the frame, watching, while things happen in the past.  

Eh, that’s ok, he’s been through a lot. Hallucinations aren’t uncommon with PTSD.

At each memory, he smiles warmly, until the present day catches up and his mood crashes back down.

This repeats until he reaches the library, where he remembers (in a normal desaturated flashback) showing porn to Lan Wangji and how mad he got. A bit of a smile stays with him after that.

(more after the cut!)

Bunny Kisses

Then he finds the rabbits, two of whom cheer him up by smooching, like he wishes he and Lan Wangji would do.

As a stand-in for a human kissing scene, this is cute, as long as we anthropomorphize them so that their sniffing of each others faces counts as kissing. It’s definitely better than watching those birds from The Long Ballad.

(I adore The Long Ballad and have watched it three times so far, and that is three times more than I ever needed to see a bird’s tongue)

Return of the Bathing Beauty Trope

Then Wei Wuxian finds Lan Wangji in the cold spring. Let’s compare this encounter to the previous time they met each other here, so many years ago.

Then: Baby Wei Wuxian sees Lan Wangji and *sprints* down the stairs to be near him, even though they don’t really get along yet. 

He’s completely delighted to see him, not at all deterred by the unfriendly reception.

Now: Grown up Wei Wuxian reacts with with a fond smile, similar to the way he’s reacted to all the memories he’s been replaying. 

The smile fades, and he approaches with absolutely none of the exuberance of his youth.

He just has...no joy. Not in living, not in being around Lan Wangji. But he’s sought him out as unerringly as he did in his youth, all the same.

Then: Baby Lan Wangji realizes Wei Wuxian is approaching, takes a millisecond to consider the situation, and immediately goes to put clothes on. He’s fully covered by the time Wei Wuxian reaches the shore.

Now: Grown-up Lan Wangji sees Wei Wuxian, and just...sits there...while Wei Wuxian looks at him. He’s got his hair pulled over his shoulder so his back is on display, too.

Lan Wangji is never going to tell Wei Wuxian about his scars, but I think he wants him to see, to understand that Things Have Happened in his own life while Wei Wuxian was gone. Talking isn’t really his thing, so he’s showing him instead.  

(These unobtrusive scars, incidentally, are what happens when a character is extremely scarred but is being portrayed by a half-naked Wang Yibo. The producers aren’t going to give up a thirst opportunity for the sake of medical verisimilitude.)

I think he’s also deliberately letting Wei Wuxian see how beautiful he looks without his many layers of robes on. He sits still, being looked at, for 30 seconds of screen time, and then he turns around to show off his tiddies.

Unfortunately that’s when Wei Wuxian notices the burn on his chest, which wasn’t what Lan Wangji was going for, so he--slowly--gets out and puts his clothes on.

This burn scar is never discussed in the show, although the book explains it. I think if you haven’t read the book you can still guess that Lan Wangji did it to himself out of grief. This is a literal mark of Lan Wangji’s devotion--one he’s not ready for Wei Wuxian to understand just yet.

Continuing the comparison: in the past, it was Wei Wuxian trying to get close to Lan Wangji, as Lan Wangji resisted.

In the present, Wei Wuxian doesn’t need to push; Lan Wangji comes to him. Lan Wangji has, in the course of 12 hours, invited Wei Wuxian so far into his life and has shown Wei Wuxian so much of himself that he might as well have embroidered "down to fuck" on the front of his robes. 

Before this, Wei Wuxian had never seen his house, not seen his hair without several chunks of silver in it, not heard him play guqin other than for medical purposes, and definitely hadn't been given a generous eyeful of his elegant torso and swanlike neck.

Seeing Lan Wangji’s various scars, Wei Wuxian starts to get out of his own head a bit, and begins to think about the person Lan Wangji has become in his absence.  He demands--not via his usual whining, but with quiet authority--to know what happened.

This gets him absolutely nowhere, because Lan Wangji is the stubbornest person on Earth. He let Wei Wuxian look, and that’s all the communicating he plans to do on this subject. 

He knows perfectly well that he has an interfering older brother who will eventually explain everything for him.  

Failmaster Qiren

The tension is broken by the arrival of some juniors, who say that Lan Qiren tried to communicate with the sword spirit, and it kicked his ass. This happens to him more often than it should.

There are a lot of funny moments in The Untamed, many of them deliberate, but some caused by the challenges of a big production with complicated continuity. For me, nothing will ever be funnier than the fact that, on his way to save his uncle from the homicidal sword spirit, Lan Wangji stopped to do his hair.

Outside the sword room, Wei Wuxian demonstrates one of his core skills: busting through barriers in the Cloud Recesses.

None of the juniors can get past this door that he’s easily blasting open, but they all still believe that this dude with Lan Wangji is second-rate cultivator Mo Xuanyu.

Flute Recital

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian start playing "Rest" to the sword, but then Wei Wuxian realizes that Lan Qiren is going to recognize him if he plays the flute well...while not wearing a mask...or something? This is one of those moments where it would make a lot more sense if Mo Xuanyu did not look like Wei Wuxian, but we would all be sad if either version of Wei Wuxian did not look like Xiao Zhan, so let’s roll with it.

To hide his real abilities, and because he is a compulsive troll, Wei Wuxian launches into an extra-shitty rendition of WangXian, which is apparently bad enough to knock Lan Qiren out again.

Lan Wangji takes a moment to wonder why he had to be born a clownosexual, exclusively attracted to clowns. One clown in particular.

Now the mystery-solving part of the story gets rolling. Wei Wuxian picks up the sword, which is smoking with resentment, to get a read on it.  It screams at him like the Xuanwu sword did, back in the good old days.

Wei Wuxian shudders and gasps sexily, and then falls into Lan Wangji's waiting arms.

Lan Wangji suddenly feels totally fine about his clownosexuality.

Party in the Jingshi

Later, at the Jingshi, Wei Wuxian expertly twirls his flute just like that one Yiling Laozu guy was known for doing while Lan Wangji and several disciples tend to Lan Qiren.

Lan Wangji has put Lan Qiren in his own bed, the same bed Wei Wuxian was sleeping in 12 hours ago. I'd say Lan Wangji has the busiest bed in the Cloud Recesses, except that we all know that honor belongs to Lan Xichen.

The disciples gossip about the resentful energy, and one of them wonders aloud if the Yiling Laozu has taken over a new host body. That earns him a nearly lethal dose of stink-eye from Lan Wangji.

Lan Wangji finishes checking his uncle’s pulse and puts his hand down but does not tuck him in, because his uncle is not named Wei Wuxian.

We get our first clue that Lan Wangji is actually Lan Sizhui's dad when he vaguely dismisses the whole group of disciples, but sends Lan Sizhui, specifically, to bed.

Hot-grumpy-dad Lan Wangji is my favorite. We don’t see him in this mood a lot at this age, particularly not when he’s busy making googly eyes at Wei Wuxian. But his worry for Lan Qiren seems to have brought back a slice of his angsty, angry younger self. *sizzle noise*

Lan Sizhui tries to argue about bedtime and gets shut down, so he verbally acquiesces to what his dad told him to do. Then he fucks off and does what he wants to do instead. It’s nice to see that Lan Wangji has raised a normal teenager.  

Sizhui goes outside and chats with his other dad for a while. He doesn't know yet that this is his other dad, of course, just that his father has a new, cool boyfriend who can probably score much better weed than that crap Jingyi's always bragging about.  

Wei Wuxian is a kind, serious authority figure in his conversations with Lan Sizhui; not silly or teasing as he is with Lan Jingyi.  He tells Sizhui him not to blame himself for what happened at the Mo manor, and compliments his learning and thought processes.

I Trust You

In the morning, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji talk on the porch. Lan Qiren taking the only bed means they probably didn't have the fun night Lan Wangji had been hoping for. Also, while they are getting along well, Wei Wuxian isn't comfortable with him yet; he asks if Lan Wangji suspects him, when they talk about the haunted sword.

Lan Wangji takes the opportunity to tell him, emphatically, “Of course, I believe you.” This is the same “trust/believe” ( 信 ) that was hanging between them the previous evening, and Lan Wangji is taking steps to rectify the problem.

Fortunately, Wei Wuxian is helplessly in love with Lan Wangji, and has a very forgiving nature, so they will get comfortable with each other very quickly. They work out that Xue Yang must have recreated the Yin tiger seal using his own piece of Yin Metal.

Guest Lecturer

Next, Lan Wangji gathers a roomful of disciples together to listen to Yiling Laozu’s lecture on the topic of resentful energy and this demonic sword. (Lan Qiren wakes up, feels a disturbance in the force, faints again).

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian also flirt in front of the whole class.  Features of this flirtation include Wei Wuxian doing this...thing with his flute and his mouth while he leans on Lan Wangji.

This one time, at band camp...

Theoretically, this move of Lan Wangji’s, where he steps away while Wei Wuxian is leaning on him, could be read as “doesn’t like to be touched.” Except grown-up Lan Wangji is happy to touch Wei Wuxian, and everyone’s faces say that this is Lan Wangji indulging in a moment of playfulness.

Lan Jingyi is slightly horrified, but Lan Sizhui is practically ecstatic about this development. He and Wei Wuxian have a little nonverbal conversation in which Lan Sizhui gives him the opposite of a shovel talk.

Lan Sizhui is the president of the Let's Get Hanguang-Jun Laid club. Jingyi will join up soon.

On The Road Again

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian leave Gusu on a pair of horses that are never seen again; why does Wei Wuxian ride a donkey if they've got horses? *shrug.*

They go into Qinghe and walk through the market; Wei Wuxian lighthearted and interested in his surroundings in a way he hasn't been since he was young. Lan Wangji seems comfortable in the crowd; a contrast to his early travels.

A vendor is selling Yiling Laozu merch. Wei Wuxian is offended by their ugliness, explaining that the Yiling Patriarch was one of the most beautiful men in the world, with many successful sponsorship deals.

Just then Jin Ling shows up, because the cultivation world is like 3 city blocks wide and everyone lives on the same block. He attacks the vendor for daring to mention Wei Wuxian in public.  

This is my father’s font! I won’t put it down!

The stunt here involves the vendor getting yanked on a wire into a produce table, without knocking it over. One radish falls on the ground but the table doesn’t break into splinters and the air is not filled with flying veggies.  

If you are accustomed to American TV and movies, seeing someone hit a produce table or cart without destroying a massive quantity of produce is positively surreal.

Wei Wuxian realizes that Jin Ling’s personality is an unfortunate combination of Jin Zixuan and Jiang Cheng. He decides that he should try to instill some of Jiang Yanli’s virtues in him. He puts his mask on and starts a conversation with Jin Ling.

Enter Fairy, the fluffy adorable dog, who is an exemplar of Wei Wuxian's deep fear of dogs. Fairy is also is a catalyst for a sudden onset of broad comedic acting in our leading man. Wei Wuxian screams and runs away as Fairy slooowly chases him.

Jericho Lynnette

Class: Gunslinger (Hexslinger)/lvl10

Race : Sentient Skeleton

Alignment: Neutral Evil (subject to change and not in the good way)

Pronouns: They/Them

Concept: Magic cowboy skeleton

Whoever Jericho was when they were more flesh then bone, they couldn’t say. They knew they were technically human once upon a time but that time was too long ago for anyone to bother knowing.

Jericho got their name from the necromancer who awakened them but not their mind. They were meant to be a loyal servant, one who would live and die for their master, if need be, and for a while they were. That is until they were replaced.

Upon finding a move powerful undead, their master forgot about them quickly and left them behind. A rage burned in them that shouldn’t have been possible but being abandoned somehow awoke something inside of them and Jericho was truly born that day. Since then the one thing that’s kept them going is their burning hatred for not only their former master but all casters in general.

While they have no flesh of their own, Jericho often finds pleasure in the temptations of the flesh. They keep a long tobacco pipe, which them enjoy smoking, even though they have no lungs. They enjoy things soft and comfortable; and will always go for the finest room they could afford in the inn, even though they need very little sleep. They like gold, even though they have very little use for it; and will gamble and con anyone to get as much of it as they can. They love baths, as odd as that seems, and will sit in tubs “drinking” aged whiskey; for no other reason then because they can.

How a sentient skeleton can do all these things without an angry mob forming or a few adventures coming for them is quite simple. In their left eye socket sits a special glass eyes, (functionally a Hat of Disguise) the eye displays an illusion of a normal, almost generic human being.

Jericho keeps a pair of revolvers on their person at all times, that they lovingly refer to as Honey and Bunny. Made of alchemical silver and ivory, they’re a beautiful pair of weapons that Jericho plucked off the corpses of a man who accused them of cheating at a game of cards. While he might have been correct, that didn’t mean Jericho would accept the insults hurled their way.

All Jericho’s future goals involve upgrading Honey and Bunny further and ultimately awakening them. The way they see it, living beings are temporary, so why not invest in a few friends that could last as long as Jericho could.

But it wouldn’t be in your best interest to suggest that they’re lonely in any way. Not if you know what’s good for you.

Sleep HCs

It’s a sleepy day for me and by doggo so here are some sleep head cannons of the brothers bc why not.

Lucifer 

Is a stomach or side sleeper. Not because he likes it but out of necessity. His back still irritates him, so when he actually schedules some shut eye he preps meticulously. 

He bathes before hand, usually soaking in a mix of muscle relaxers to help release some of the tension from the work day and to help with his nerve damage. His favorite scents are lavender and a blend of spearmint. They make him a little drowsy and soften his perpetual headache. 

His bed is very nest-like. Pillows and blankets meticulously placed to help him stay in one place while he rests. Too much tossing and turning irritates him. He likes feeling cocooned and tight. It is a self soothing mechanism he developed over his first few years in the devildom. 

But this is all when he actually has time to sleep for more than a few hours. 

Most of his sleeping is little naps thrown in over the work week. On average he gets about 14-18 hours a week. It’s enough (so he says but he is a cantankerous bastard regardless so it’s hard to tell for sure) 

He sleeps like the dead, hands down corpse like. But don’t let that fool you, he doesn’t sleep like the dead. He is up and moving the moment he hears something that sounds like trouble. 

Runs cold. Has fancy silk pajama sets. A gift from Diavolo. 

His mattress is extra firm.

Mammon 

Back and side sleeper. He has a bed- but he uses it mostly as an extension to his wardrobe. Let's be real. He’s a messy guy. He normally crashes on his couch after a wild weekend bender.

He moves a lot in his sleep, kicking, tossing and turning. An absolute tangle of limbs and clothes. Like Lucifer he has a few scars and old injuries that twinge and hurt when he lays on them. Not that it stops him. 

He sleeps like the dead, tossing and turning and all. Short of someone dragging him off his couch or touching goldie he doesn’t wake up. 

Snores and drools-will not admit it but when he stumbles out of his room looking like a hot mess, crusty eyes and bedraggled hair you know he had a great sleep. 

He doesn’t have a set sleeping schedule. He goes until he crashes- like the energizer bunny. 

Sleeps with one body pillow. Likes the feel of having something draping or touching him in his sleep. Reminds him of when he would fall asleep with his brothers after a long day of training and studying in the celestial realm. 

Runs hot so he likes to sleep in his boxers and a tank top.

His mattress is medium firm

Leviathan 

Does he sleep? The world may never know. 

Between the energy drinks he practically IV drips into his veins and he determination to power though another level he doesn’t remember when he sleeps.

He just blacks out. A blink turns into a twelve hour coma. 

His tub is comfy as hell and everybody knows it. It cradles him when he sleeps, blankets and pillows are now molded to his shape. 

He washes his tub lining often. He really likes the smell of citrus and musk. Whenever the smell begins to dissipate he’ll toss it all in the wash. Minus his novelty pillows. Those get dry cleaned or spot cleaned. 

He’s a side sleeper. Once he’s settled he ain’t moving. 

Though since he doesn’t plan to sleep 80% of the time he passes out at his desk. But can you blame him? I bet he has a super cozy gaming chair and pillow.

Runs cold. Cocoons himself in mounds of blankets. Snake burrito. 

He doesn’t have a mattress but the mound of pillows and blankets is the equivalent of a medium soft mattress 

Satan

Probably has the most normal sleep schedule. He has a set wind down time and lights out time too.

Does he keep to it? I mean- it’s the thought that counts. If he is wrapped up in a good book or research time just gets the better of him. 

He has his bed nestled up against the one window of his room that isn’t covered in books or shelves 

Uses the eternal moonlight to read. Drifts off most evenings with a book slipping down his chest.

Sleeps propped up on a poof or reading pillow. Doesn’t like things covering him. He runs hot so his pajamas are enough for him. 

Needs the least amount of sleep out of all the brothers. He loves that. Means he can read and do more without it hampering his mood.

Very light sleeper any shift he does in his sleep wakes him up. But he normally falls right back to sleep. 

His mattress is firm 

Asmodeus

Scheduled down to the minute. If he doesn’t get his nine hours of sleep be prepared for a scene. 

Starts getting ready for bed about two hours before he actually falls asleep. Hot bath, oils, new face mask to try, the works. School can be stressful you know? And six brothers? It’s a miracle he doesn’t have wrinkles yet.   

He keeps his bedroom tidy and always smelling good. Needless clutter messes with him and makes it hard for him to fall asleep. 

Has a noise machine and an oil diffuser on when he sleeps. Even if he's in bed he knows his brothers aren't so it helps mute them so he can sleep.

Sleeps in the nude. He doesn't run hot or cold but he likes to sleep in a cooler room. Helps shrink the pores or something like that. 

His bed is large but sparse. He really only needs his silk sheets and a thin cover. He has a few bolster pillows and poofs on the bed but really he doesn't sleep with pillows. 

Is a back sleeper and- no one will tell him this on fear of death but he is an ugly sleeper. 

Mouth open, limbs akimbo, soft little snores and snorts. It’s cute, whether or not he thinks so. 

His mattress is soft

Beelzebub

Tries to have a good sleep schedule. It’s imperative to keeping up a healthy body after all.

But he gets so hungry. He gorges himself when he starts to feel tired in hopes that he can sleep a few hours before getting up for a midnight (or anytime snack) 

He drinks a lot of tea actually right before bed. It makes him sleepy and fills up his stomach. 

He sleeps on his stomach with his arms wrapped around his pillow. Another one that sleeps in the buff too. He is a night sweater too. 

He only started covering himself for bed when you started living with them. It’s only polite. 

Gets about 2 to 3 hours at a time with a snack break in between. 

He doesn’t have a lot of pillows mostly because he has eaten them while dreaming. Constantly buying new pillows adds up ya know?

He doesn’t toss and turn but he does roll over once or twice in the night.

Dead silent when he sleeps. He just emits a deep rumble when he snoozes. From his chest or his stomach. It’s a 50/50 split. 

His mattress is medium firm 

Belphegor 

Ha.

The king of sleep. The lord of stealth sleeping. It’s become a sport to him now. How many sleeping nooks can he find around R.A.D so Lucifer’s blood pressure spikes looking for him. His highest score is 37. 

If he could sleep with his eyes open he would. But he can’t and he hates it.

He likes to sleep during the school day. It’s a mix of protesting this dumb idea and so that he can stay up at night when everything is nice and quiet. 

It doesn’t  matter to him where or how he sleeps. As long as he can curl up around something soft he is happy. 

Likes it dark and very snug when he’s sleeping. A very still sleeper. Once he’s comfy he locks in place. 

Murmurs in his sleep. Little disjointed things. You can have a full fledged conversation with him. He’ll give you little grunts and sighs in response. 

If he does get to his room before falling asleep he buries himself in blankets to the point where you can't figure out if he is in there or not. (Kinda like those lizards that bury themselves in sand, same motion and everything.) 

Again doesn’t care where he sleeps but his mattress is soft.

**also thanks to @365nct, i used one of their incorrect quotes for the jaehyun one haha hope they don’t mind

  NCT 127 – Spending Halloween with you

 Taeil

-He was not really used to celebrating Halloween if it wasn’t for the SM Halloween party

-So this year you got him unprepared

-but he doesn’t mind celebrating as long as it is with you

-he came with the idea to have a couple costume and that was ,,,,

-yup you guessed it

-Beauty and the Beast

-but this time he was the beast and you ofc,the beauty

-because he can’t repeat the incident from 2017 where he was dragged to dress up as Belle and winwin was the beast- anyways

-he glares at you every time you bring it up lol

-this time he pulled the uno reverse card tho

-because he definitely treats you like a prince/princess all the time,he went shopping for costumes with you

-he bought everything you wished for,even the crazy unnecessary decorations like a stupid flying skeleton or a witch dressed as a hooker

-like what even is that?? He wondered but laughed when you gave him puppy eyes

-“it’s funny tho,it would look good at the entrance “

-he snorted

-obvs taeil couldn’t resist those eyes and the pouty lips that he kissed in the end

-spends the whole night eating the candies you’ve got

-he likes to take a loooot of selfies so be ready to be bombarded with funny filters

-after you both get tired of all the dress up thingy,you too decided to watch a horror movie

-classic but he knows what he’s doing

-whenever you cling onto his arm or squeeze his hand he smirks and hums into your ear

-you know he’s teasing and he chose that movie on purpose so you occasionally punch his arm when he tickles you with teasing small pecks on your cheeks and neck

-but you secretly enjoy it don’t lie

 Johnny

 -Oh johnny boy 

-I think for sure Halloween is his fave celebration because he always plans to visit Chicago in that period

-for this and for Christmas of course 

-he likes to celebrate it in the US cause the traditions are kept alive there 

-so he’s excited to take you trick or treating 

-You chose Corpse bride for costumes

-you were so excited to do his make up as Victor and he was excited to see you dressed for a wedding lmao

-While doing his make up before leaving for treating,he kept looking at you being so concentrated 

-“you look so beautiful like this babe”

-“johnny I look dead“

-literally

-he laughed and kissed you when he got the opportunity 

-and ofc he couldn’t contain himself from making cheeky remarks  either

-and you get mad at him for talking and smudging his make up by accident

-“you distracted me !!”

-but you like his annoying ass and would never be actually mad at him

 -plus he looked good even with smudged make up

-you think maybe it’s too smudged but he lifts you up and kisses you harder that before

-…and now you’re both smudged  but you don’t really mind as you kiss him one more time

-after all,you leave for trick or treating but realize you’re a bit old for this 

-he will not go home without corn candies tho so you’ll have to force him to do so -but because he looks around and sees mostly children,

-he suggests going to a party in the neighborhood 

-it was a party thrown by his friends ofc 

-and you were more than happy to show everyone the power couple you make together

 -he drives there,one hand on the steering wheel,one hand on your leg

 -occasionally caresses your skin and you blush a little 

-he knows your weaknesses tho

 -anywayssss

-you arrive at the party,everyone is in awe,,,he can’t really stop bragging about you

 -and you have a great time meeting his American friends for the first time

-seeing you tired after a while of being there,he comes closer to you and hugs you from behind

 -whispers in your ear how gorgeous you looked and how everyone loved you 

-and how he’s gonna take you home and spend more time as real ‘groom and bride’;;))

 Taeyong

 -this cute baby couldn’t be more excited to celebrate Halloween with you

-and not to baby him even more but his idea for the costumes was to dress up as among us characters

-yes,,among us characters

-specifically black and pink

-can you guess who’s who?

-he went full shopping mode with you and dragged you through  the stores only to find the perfect match

-and you did ofc

-you came with the idea to throw a party and invite the rest of your friends

-he checked the list of things you needed to buy for Halloween

-and you teased him saying he stressed too much and we should have fun instead of worrying

-“but baby you know if we throw a party,we need to have enough drinks and food”

-puppy eyes: checked

-speaking in tiny: checked

-how could you say no lmao

-and after you bought everything necessary (and unnecessary),,

-you came home to decorate and to put your costumes on

-tried to kiss but you forgot you had the helmets on lmfao

-you both giggled like two kids

-he looked so cute when he put his science goggles on his head

-and you made sure to capture every single angle of his cuteness

-too many pics ,,

-too many

-you had a lot of fun especially that you organized a costume contest

-and you didn’t win because you were the hosts pfff..

-it’s not like everyone voted you for having the coolest couple costume

-kinda sus if you ask me

-n ee ways

-the party was a success and everyone had fun

-you ended up eating so many sweets  

-even tho tyong told you to slow down

-he took care of you and bathed you in kisses and cuddles after everyone left

-“you eat too many sweets every Halloween,,do you even learn?” says as he caresses your cheeks and gives you a long forehead kiss

-“but I can’t help myself,,too good and sweet”

-‘”you’re too good and sweet”

 Yuta

 -It was the morning of 31st October

-the only thing in your mind was the Halloween party at sm you and yuta were going to attend

-and ofc you didn’t want a lame costume,you wanted something cute

-but powerful

-and not to be a cliché but you asked yuta if he wanted to be dressed as anime characters

-man did he give you a look

-he chuckled lightly at your request but couldn’t say no

-“baby the fact that you’re Japanese makes it 1000x better”

-you cup his cheeks in between your hands and he laughs holding you on his lap

-after all he agrees and you go shopping for costumes

-as you thought,you didn’t want to be the basic anime characters so you chose a cute and powerful couple

-Kagome and inuyasha

-When you saw yuta wearing that long white hair-wig,your heart did a flip

-he smiled so large when he saw you wearing that pretty school uniform

-you made him take you in his arms immediately only to start smooching your face

-“baby my make up”

-you were pouting,but he was smirking coming closer to your ear

-“ I will make up for this later,promise”

- he said that biting your ear lobe softly

-oh boy you wanted to forget about the party only for yuta to “make up” for you but

-you could’ve handled that later that night

-you had a great time partying with the members and other idols at sm

-yuta held onto you the whole night feeling so proud to have such a gorgeous s/o only for himself

-but what you had planned after the party was much more exciting ;;)

 Doyoung

-This little sh

-that you loved to the moon and back 

-was a bit skeptic about partying for Halloween 

-for your sake tho,he prepared a horror movie marathon for both of you

 -he also suggested cooking something thematic 

-you actually caught him few days ago watching an instagram video of ‘how to make eyeball lollipops”

-You were like ???

-“I want to make these for Halloween because you don’t need to bake anything you know”

-“so we won’t burn the kitchen down? Ok!”

-you agreed faster than he thought

 -and that made him doubt his cooking skills for a bit but anyways 

-you too didn’t really have anything planned for a costume but you decided to surprise him

-with a bunny costume

-not an onesie,no

 -bunny ears and a bunny tail 

 -while he was concentrated on cooking,

-you showed up wearing a cute lingerie and that bunny costume on you 

-“ hey bunny,wanna snuggle?”

-you leaned on the door frame while trying not laugh

-in that moment he was tasting the jam

-but when he turned around and saw you LIKE THAT 

-he snorted and dropped the spoon full of raspberries 

-he was absolutely sure you wanted to give him a heart

-attack somehow

 -but he came to his senses and approached you with a smirk on his face

 -you couldn’t even think for a bit because in the next second he lifted you up to kiss you 

-“you made me drop the food and make a mess,,do you think I’ll let you go with that?”

-you blushed harder than you thought and suggested to help him clean up the mess 

-but he cut you off mid-sentence with a deepened kiss only to tell you with a low tone

-“those raspberries can wait,the bunny wants snuggles doesn’t it?”

-you tried so hard to keep your cool but who can blame you?? 

Jaehyun

 -Another Halloween enthusiast

-he couldn’t wait to dress up as Gomez and Morticia Addams

-you even helped him with the make-up,drawing a mustache on his face

-“haha very funny’’,

-he responds sarcastically every time you look at him and try not to laugh

-but damn the costume was pure gold

-you both looked amazing and he even managed to kiss your hand,up to your arm and neck

-just like Gomez kissed his wife every time he had the opportunity

-you both went trick or treating,along with johnny,mark and other members

-then came back to the dorms and ate so many candies

-jaehyun couldn’t help but stare at you every time he had the chance

-and you knew this costume was a perfect match because you could show him how sexy and elegant you were

-taeyong prepared some food for you all and you had few drinks

-told a lot of horror stories and felt like kids again but jaehyun was waiting to go home only to spend more time with you

-“ the food is too hot,I can’t eat it ::( ’’

-you complained while the others turned their heads to look at you especially taeyong who was about to apologize for the food being too hot

-jaehyun: ‘’you’re hot but I’d still eat-“

--he was cut off mid-sentence by taeyong who slammed his hand down on the table

-“ONE MEAL

-“ONE NORMAL FUCKING MEAL JAEHYUN”

-you all started laughing and looked at jaehyun only to see him grinning like a little bitch he is

-you knew how cheeky he can be so you got up and came closer to him to wrap your arms around his neck

-closer to his ear so you can whisper nonsense, that apparently got him happier that you intended

-he was one lucky guy for sure

-and the Halloween was once again one of his favorite holidays

 Jungwoo

 -Jungwoo wanted something cute this year

-he was very excited to show you what costumes he prepared for you both

- he kept saying it was a surprise and told you not to prepare anything cause he will handle it

- so while you were preparing the candies for the kids, he snuck up on you and covered your eyes

- you could’ve sworn you felt something fluffy covering your face

- you touched his arms and tried to feel it

- and realized he was wearing paws

- ???

- “babe what are you-“

- he cut you off and turned you around to face him

- he was wearing a big Snoopy costume,with a red bowtie as well

- you felt yourself dying of cuteness

- because now you had THE actual snoopy as your boyfriend

- a bit weird but CUTE ok cute

- “do you like it?? the red bowtie is part of the costume so we could match”

- you looked at him all smiles

- his eyes were sparkling just like a puppy’s :,(

- He grabbed your hand and took you to your bedroom to show your costume

- it was the same snoopy costume but you had a red ribbon on top of your head

- you were excited to try it on

- and when you showed him the costume, he gently approached you to kiss your forehead

- “aren’t we the cutest?”

- after that, he helped you give sweets to trick-or-treaters and so many kids were in awe when they saw you two

- you took pictures to send to his family

- and in the end, you two ended up falling asleep

- cuddling on the couch surrounded by the candies left because you weren’t very active this year

- but still had a great time

  Mark

 -This year mark wanted it different

-he didn’t only wanted to crave pumpkins or go trick or treating

-he needed a break from every exhausting activity because being and idol

-and well,,

-being mOrk

-he was tired and needed an escape from that solicitant lifestyle

-he surprised you one day with a small trip to an orchard outside of Seoul

-you were so excited because you knew the weather was going to be in your favor

-plus you knew mark was a nonconformist and he wanted to make the time spent w you very special

-like every time

-such a cutie oml pls-

-you two took the train till there,admiring the view from the empty cabin you were in

-he was holding you close and your hand all the time

- occasionally he kissed the top of it

-but you always turned to give him a quick peck on his sweet lips

-you liked to see him all giggly and shy,rubbing his hand behind his head

-when you arrived there,you were accompanied by a guide

-showing you around the orchard

-you were so excited while looking around,looking at the different colors of the apples

-mark grabbed two baskets and offered to help you pick few red and beautiful apples

-you were picking them and from time to time you felt mark’s gaze on your body and smiled

-while he was distracted, you snuck up behind him only to see him startle

-you giggled when he picked you up,spinning you around

-only to leave a sweet kiss on your nose and lips

-after the apple picking,you went to a café that was only few miles away from the orchard

-ate apples on the way because you were a bit tired and very hungry lol

-at this cute café,you two spent some time chatting and just staring at each other

-because you were both cute little hopeless romantics <333

 Haechan

 -Haechan was actually going to lazy around that day but nope

-you dragged him out of the bed

-telling him you want to crave pumpkins because otherwise

-you will bite his ass

-he gave you the most shocked look

-then managed to laugh

-“I wouldn’t mind,just bite the corner,,just a small bite”

-you rolled your eyes and puffed air from your nose pretending to get mad

-you walked out of the room and grabbed your coat and the car keys

-“yeah right then I’m going to buy the pumpkins myself”

-he came after you giggling and insisting it was a joke

-but you knew and were obvs trying not to smile

-he was a sucker for your pouty face so he loved pissing you off

-little cute shit

-you finally arrived at the local market and bought two big pumpkins

-so orange and tasty

-haechan took a tiny pumpkin and said he’s going to make it your child

-“haechan I’m not gonna shove a knife into our kid,don’t name it!”

-he knew if he names an object and something bad happens to it

-you get attached to it and get sad

-so in the end he didn’t name it but still got it home

-at home,you tried to look on pinterest for craving ideas

-and haechan laughed cause that was silly

-“cmon babe are you seriously looking that on the internet? Just do- *stabs the pumpkin in the middle and cuts out the lid* -this”

-he looks at you with a smile on his face and you just stand there

-bamboozled

-like “I’m really dating a gemini huh”

-you try to cut your pumpkin but the skin was too hard

-and managed to drop the knife out of your hands with a loud bump on the floor

-haechan literally jumped thinking you cut yourself but you were just standing there,,

-bbq sauce on your tidd-

-jk jk

-you were standing there looking at the guts spilled all over the floor

-you sighed but haechan gave you a hug

-“you clumsy baby,gotta be careful. Let me do it for you,,you just scoop what’s left from the inside”

-and you did as he said a bit disappointed that he took the hard work

-even tho you wanted to show him you don’t need help

-but he knew you were an independent person anyway

-that’s what he loved about you actually

-after you were done with cravings,it was the tiny pumpkin’s turn to be cut

-you and haechan just turned to look at each other and he saw you giving him a trembling bottom lip

-“we can’t cut it baaabeee…” you whined

-“okay then just ..let’s draw a cool face on it,no harm”

-you agreed because obvs you couldn’t cut the child you had with him pff

-you took the marker and drew a caricature of your bf on it

-before showing it to him,you covered his eyes and suggested him to sit on the couch for few moments

-he was wondering what you were doing

-after a while you led him,eyes still closed,to the fireplace where you placed the pumpkins

-he opened his eyes and saw the tiny pumpkin standing between the bigger ones

-“see,these two are us and the tiny one is the kid”

-he gave you a look,his eyebrows rised but then laughed

-he hugged you and gave you a small kiss

-he then looked at the bigger pumpkins and stated nodding

-“damn we’re kinda ugly ngl”

Yashahime Translation: Animage April 2021 Issue (Part 1)

Please do not repost this translation without my consent! This includes screenshots of any type and amount. If you wish to share this translation, simply link to this post.

For more information regarding the use of my translations, click here.

This month’s Animage article has more content than usual and mainly covers the music of Hanyō no Yashahime. That being said, I have decided to split the translation into three parts

Part 1: Interview with Kaoru Wada, Satō Teruo, and Nagura Yasushi

Part 2: Interview with NEWS

Part 3: Interview with Ryokuoushoku Shakai

Wrapped in the Warm Demonic Air of Spring!?

The Yashahimes, who reside in the feudal era, are in the midst of fully enjoying the spring event that is so familiar in the modern era. Surrounding those girls isn’t the nice warm air but rather the presence of a dangerous demon… …?

Spring is here! Towa, Setsuna, Moroha, and Takechiyo are blessing Easter under the bright warm weather. On this day, the three girls who carry the blood of the Dog General have turned into easter bunnies Y Setsuna, Moroha, and Takechiyo who grew up in the feudal era are overflowing with curiosity at the vibrant easter eggs Towa paints.

Well, in the illustration the Yashahimes have a warm air about them but in the main story, the girls are truly in the middle of an upheaval. In episode 21, the relationship between Riku and Kirinmaru which was wrapped in mystery up until now has been revealed. Riku himself states that he was abandoned by Kirinmaru.

In addition, in episode 22, Kirinmaru’s older sister, Zero, appears before the three of them, controls Towa’s body, forcefully breaks the seal placed upon Setsuna, and disappears after doing whatever she pleases. Zero is the creator of the cause that separated child Towa and Setsuna. Also, it seems she has a connection to Rin’s slumber. It appears Riku fondly calls Zero “Elder sister” but to Towa and the others, she is a person they need to keep an eye on.

The three girls continue to be exposed to a harsh fate. When will the girls be able to reunite with their families and live out a peaceful life known as “the flower (prime) of youth”?

Character Bios

Takechiyo A cheeky tanuki (racoon dog) demon child who works at the corpse shop. He gets snacks from the modern era when he cooperates with Towa, which pleases him. He is also aiming for the easter eggs!?

Higurashi Towa In order to save Setsuna who had her dreams and sleep stolen, she searches for the Dream Butterfly. Her explosive power when Setsuna is in a crisis is enough to leave a scar on Kirinmaru.

Setsuna She is always cool and calm but in episode 22, Zero released the seal placed on her demonic blood and Setsuna went out of control. It was resealed by Hisui’s older sister, Kin’u.

Moroha She works hard as a bounty hunter to repay her debt to Shikabaneya Jyuubee. In episode 21, she obtained the head of Tōtetsu of the Four Perils and received her first monetary reward in a while.

Spring Has Arrived in Towa’s Heart!?

In episode 21, Towa an Riku approach each other for the first time in a while. While saying there is no meaning in protecting her, Riku defended Towa from Tōtetsu’s attack and Towa told him “I like you!!” and gave him the silver rainbow pearl. Although it is not to the point of love, there certainly seems to be a special feeling budding between the two.

The Rainbow Pearls Are Zero’s Tears

The true nature of the rainbow pearls that Riku and many other demons seek out: they are the transformed tears Zero spilled onto the Shikon Jewel when she grieved the Dog General’s death. Currently, Riku possesses five of the rainbow pearls: green, purple, blue, orange, and silver. Setsuna and Moroha have the other two remaining pearls. When all seven are gathered, what exactly will happen?

The Grim Comet and Kirin-Sensei

The Grim Comet is a comet that nears the earth once every 500 years, bringing calamity with it. Working together to get rid of the comet were the Dog General and Kirinmaru during the Heian era and Sesshōmaru and Inuyasha during the feudal era. And now the modern era. Watching the Grim Comet approach once again was Towa’s middle school English teacher, Kirin Osamu-sensei. What exactly is his true identity?

Coloring the World with Sound

Director: Satō Teruo Music: Wada Kaoru Sound Director: Nagura Yasushi

To commemorate the release of the soundtrack CD, we circled around composer Wada Kaoru for a round-table discussion. We had him talk about the charm of the background music for “Hanyō no Yashahime”.

The Main Theme is the Yashahime’s “Hereafter”

— How did you create the musical composition for “Hanyō no Yashahime”?

Nagura: First, we gathered information from the finished scenarios and I created an at-a-glance music menu. After having director Satō review it, I handed it to Wada-sensei and we got together for meetings. We had Wada-sensei compose in accordance with that music menu but…

Wada: At that stage, we only had a rough direction of the story and the only finished scenarios that had final manuscripts were episodes 7 and 8. Not only did a lot of characters appear but just from reading the script, it was a constant state of “???” from the beginning like “Why are they separated even though they’re twin sisters?” “Where are the parents?” “Why is Moroha alone?”. It was then that (series composition) Sumisawa (Katsuyuki)-san and I had quite a few secret meetings where we cross-examined the information regarding the characters and story. I used that as a base for composing. While talking with Sumisawa-san, we had thoughts like “Even though it isn’t in the music menu, we probably need a song for this character” and as a result, the number songs increased unintentionally (laughs).

Satō: At first, we placed an order for 45 songs which I think is a lot for a 2 cour work. However, from there you created 1 to 5 times as many songs which I truly thank you for. I’d like to use all of them within the story.

— Wada-san, how do you normally go about composing music?

Wada: I don’t really use a piano and I just worry endlessly and have wild ideas. There are times when I think of ideas while walking. I’ve also come up with many ideas during my daily life like sitting at my desk in the office, taking a bath, or going shopping. If there are times where I can only come up with the motif, then there are also times where I can come up with an entire song in an instant. There are a variety of cases. Fundamentally, the melody I think of doesn’t get left in that spot. I consider anything I forget as something not good.

First, I need a starting point like “Let’s make something in this direction” so until I reach that point, I will rethink things over repeatedly. This time too, I had a hard time settling on the main theme that is “Hanyō no Yashahime”. The main theme expresses the world setting of a work, so I wonder how much to depict. This is why my meeting with Sumisawa-san regarding “Where exactly is this story going?” was necessary (laughs). It’s not like the music is the story’s answer checker but the main theme for “Inuyasha”, “Half-Demon Inuyasha”, is an action-adventure kind of music so to speak. Compared to that, it was a little different this time. What will happen to the three Yashahimes from here on was a major key to the motif, so in that sense, without knowing the story, I couldn’t write anything.

By the way, back then I rewrote “Half-Demon Inuyasha” three times before completing it. It was a completely different song at first and after writing and performing the piece as well as rereading the original comic again, I thought "This doesn’t fit”. Every time I’m creating a song, it’s a repetition of going in one direction or another.

Songs From the “Inuyasha” Era Have Been Reborn as A Next Generation Version

— Please tells us the characteristics of the music for “Hanyō no Yashahime”

Wada: For “Inuyasha”, it was work where the feudal era was the setting so the objective at the beginning was to heavily use traditional Japanese instruments like the biwa, shakuhachi, and flute. Rather than making traditional music like in Noh (play) or kabuki, my aim was to add the traditional Japanese instruments into the orchestra without feeling out of place. It went well in “Inuyasha”, so I continued that with “Hanyō no Yashahime”. As a work, “Hanyō no Yashahime” isn’t necessarily a “sequel to “Inuyasha”” but the music is.

Satō: This is something I also ordered. Afterall, I absolutely wanted the “Inuyasha” atmosphere. Nevertheless, this is a new story, so I wanted it to evolve as well.

Nagura: This time, we are using several musical compositions from the time of “Inuyasha”, but we’ve done new recordings of them. This is because roughly 20 years have passed since the songs for “Inuyasha” were first created. We worried that the “Inuyasha” music as it was back then and the newly recorded music for “Hanyō no Yashahime” wouldn’t take on the same color when mixed together. Thus, we had them newly recorded as a “Hanyō no Yashahime” version.

— In terms of “Hanyō no Yashahime” for example, how is the “Inuyasha” version from back then different from the “Hanyō no Yashahime” version?

Wada: The biggest difference is the tempo. I have recorded “Half-demon Inuyasha” several times after its completion but the slowest one was the first version. The tempo then was a quarter note = 120 (beats per minute) (annotation: roughly fast paced (allegro). The second hand of the clock is a quarter note = 60 bpm). At first, I looked at the comics and thought “Is this how it should go?” but when watching the anime, I began wanting to match the tempo of the animation and steadily (the music) changed into something action like. At the end, we had risen the bpm to nearly 140. This time, we can’t really use (the music) if it’s too fast so I generally keep it around 130 bpm.

— Director Satō, Sound Director Nagura, please tell us a scene within the main story where you especially felt the charm of Wada-san’s music.

Nagura: In episode 1 and 7, there’s a scene where Setsuna and Moroha rush to Towa who’s being held captive within Ougigayatsu-Hiiragi mansion, but you see, in episode 1, we didn’t use the main theme, “Hanyō no Yashahime”. This is because episode 1 was imaged as building the bridge between "Inuyasha and Kagome’s era” and “the Yashahime’s era”. During that time, based on the circumstances, we had battle type music set in but with the story having progressed in episode 7, we put in “Hanyō no Yashahime” as “Towa and the others’ music”. We were able to set it in a good way where it truly felt “Yashahimes Gather!”

Satō: We would love for people to pay close attention to that scene. “Hanyō no Yashahime” is my absolute favorite song. When I heard this song, I felt “With this, the world setting of “Hanyō no Yashahime” has been expressed” and I once again realized how amazing Wada-sensei was. For the scene in episode 7 where Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha gather, we not only redid the music but also the acting and recording for the three princesses. At a glance, it’s the same scene as episode 1 but I think it would be fun to view and compare them.

The Cheering Party During Composing

“When I was composing these (songs), there was the broadcasting of ““Inuyasha” Best Episode” on Youtube and events like “Inuyasha Café” and the “Inuyasha Anime Tracing Exhibition” were topics of discussion. That kind of hype up for Inuyasha was a like cheering party that encouraged me. I was truly grateful for it.” (Wada)

The Main Instruments of the Three Princesses

“With the various character themes, I employed an instrument that imaged each character. Towa is the flute type instruments (Japanese woodwinds), Setsuna is a koto, and Moroha is the percussion and flute. Also, Moroha’s theme has the inheritance of her mother’s blood in mind, so it’s a transformed version of the song “Overcoming Time Kagome” back from “Inuyasha””. (Wada)

first lines: fic-writers meme

Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favourite opening line. Then tag 10 of your favourite authors!

I was tagged by @la-muerta! I've mostly been archiving my kissing fics on AO3 lately, so that's what these will be, probably. I'm going to skip the ones where the first line was given to me by another person, since those are not illustrative. I am also skipping my filks. XD

1. Terms of Care - in answer to the prompt: "wei wuxian & wen ning + forehead kisses"

“Ah, Wen Ning, come join me!” Wei Wuxian exclaimed, waving Wen Ning over to his spot in the bunny clearing.

2. Not To Be Alone - in answer to the prompt: "jiang cheng/song lan - hating separation"

“I was in shock still, and I said such awful things… So I’m looking for him now, to apologise. To say: traveling with you is better than traveling without you.”

3. This One's Spicy - in answer to the prompt: "lan jingyi/lan sizhui - yi city"

Lan Jingyi was still making elaborate disgusted faces, scraping his teeth over his tongue and the like.

4. fell through the cracks, but we're okay - in answer to the prompt: "oyzz/a-qing, au where they meet when they're both alive"

“Excuse me, are there any powerful people around here? Powerful people who cultivate?”

5. All This Burning Sexual Tension - in answer to the prompt: "wei wuxian/wen qing + laughter"

“Qing jiějiě!” Wei Wuxian shouts, bursting into the mess. “Jiang Cheng has brought it to my attention that we need to work out the unbearable sexual tension between us.”

6. In the Officers' Baths - in answer to the prompt: "mu nihuang/xia dong - something fun and not sad"

“Jùnzhǔ!”

7. in this great golden tower - in answer to the prompt: "qin su/wen qing, koi tower"

Qin Su has never asked xiǎo-Qing about her past.

8. sharp words, soft hands - in answer to the prompt: "chengxuan after like a big battle or something and one of them is hurt and the other one is worried and expressing it through getting snappy?"

Jin Zixuan opens his mouth to speak when Jiang Wanyin strides into his tent, but before he can say anything, the Jiang sect leader snaps, “Don’t bother. I saw exactly how it happened. You’d think someone raised in the great Lanling Jin sect would have learned a modicum of tactics.”

9. corpse kiss - in answer to the prompt: "how about wn/jzx with the prompt “qiongqi path”" (content warning: this one is noncon)

There was no longer a flute playing, but Wen Ning was still rushing toward Jin Zixuan like a hurricane in human form.

10. Closed Fist, Warm Mouth - in answer to the prompt: "xianxuan, in the middle of an argument"

It was lucky that Jin Zixuan had stomped away from his entourage as well as from the Jiang contingent, because it meant that there was no one to stop Wei Wuxian from throwing a punch this time.

11. Growing Things - in answer to the prompt: "lan sizhui & ouyang zizhen (my underappreciated boi!), growing things"

The Baling gardens were one of Lan Sizhui’s favorite places.

12. what's left when revenge is over - in answer to the prompt: "Sisi/Nie Huaisang post Guanyin temple"

“It’s done, then,” Sisi says, standing behind Nie Huaisang and beginning to take his hair down.

13. a good bruise - in answer to the prompt: "chengqing, jiang-furen wen qing. after training disciples"

They have been married for just over a year, but it still somehow seems scandalous to Wen Qing that she gets to be here, in Sect Master Jiang’s own personal quarters, as he gets ready for his post-training bath; that she gets to pull at the ties on his outer robes, skim her fingers along his collarbones to feel him shiver, help him shrug off each successive layer of clothes until all that’s left between her and his sweat-slick skin are her own clothes.

14. why the hell not - in answer to the prompt: "wwx/nhs, burial mounds. why the hell not"

“Nie xiong, what the hell are you doing here?”

15. Rivers and Lakes, Towns and Cities - a prequel of my Songxiao Middle Earth AU, where the Elf Xiao Xingchen meets the Human Song Lan after leaving Baoshan Sanren's mountain (which is, like, an Asian equivalent of Rivendell)

Baoshan Sanren always said that the world west of the Mountain was full of corruption and iniquity, that the Western Elves were liars to a one, and that the gods they called the Valar were betrayers.

16. A Hundred Beautiful Things - The Untamed (TV) fandom, Jiang Yanli/Nie Huaisang political marriage set after the Qishan indoctrination arc.

It was an adjustment, to be sure.

17. Taste You In My Core - 魔道祖师/Mo Dao Zu Shi novel fandom, Nie Huaisang/Xiao Xingchen monster4monster porn with Eldritch Xiao Xingchen and Beast Nie Huaisang.

“Are you all right, gōngzǐ?" the young man asks, and Nie Huaisang does his best not to laugh.

18. A Fruitful Correspondence - The Untamed (TV) fandom, Lan Wangji is forcibly befriended by Jiang Yanli (and by extension Jin Zixuan and Jiang Cheng) during the time that Wei Wuxian and the Wens are holed up in the Burial Mounds.

Lan Wangji’s plan upon attending the wedding between Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli is to put in the bare minimum of appearances and then go home at the earliest opportunity.

19. Bored - Leverage (!!) fandom, in Season 2, Episode 1, Parker mentioned stealing the Hope Diamond and then putting it back. This is the story of that heist.

Planning the heist still carries the same thrill as it always does: scoping out guard rotations, evaluating the schematics for their new security system (laughable, even with the increased bandwidth to support a greater number of security cameras), visiting the museum as a paying guest… Parker loves this part, and it’s good to stretch her muscles in this way, relying on no one but herself.

20. Best Friends for Best Friends - The Untamed/MDZS fandom (could go with either canon) fic for Jin Ling's birthday featuring the Juniors quartet and a whole litter of puppies - this is an archived threadfic that was cleaned up and then thrown on AO3.

Jin Ling totally forgot about the "no pets at Cloud Recesses" rule, okay?

--

I've noticed that I tend to like to start with some kind of dialogue most frequently; otherwise, something to establish the POV character's interiority. The big exception is the Middle Earth fic where I was emulating Tolkien's narrator, somewhat.

I think of these twenty, my favorite opening line is probably either 7 or 16. They're so sparse, but still set up a lot.

Chapter Six: Ducks

Bubble Bath

August 14th, 2018.

“Five? Normally you’re sated by three,” Patton said incredulously.

Sloshing water over the tub’s edge, their knees knocked together. Patton and Remus’s bones had become saturated with warm water, and the bubbles were seeping in now too.

“I got worked up badly.”

“But five!—“ Patton’s rasping voice broke into a cough. Remus reached out on impulse to touch his throat as if to soothe. It at least brought comfort as Patton pressed into the heat of his palm. The action encouraged Remus to curl his fingers, but he didn’t dare apply any pressure. Turning relaxed and pliable, the full, bowling ball weight of Patton’s head fell trustingly in his grip. Even his eyes slipped closed, the little puppy.

(Poor, touch starved thing, taking every morsel of affection so hungrily like it could cure years of neglect.)

“I’m sorry,” he sincerely said, “I shouldn’t of— I, I never should have asked this of you.” Gaze settling on the froth of bubbles steadily dissolving in the water, his hand fell away.

Only for Patton to catch it. He brought Remus’s hand to his lips, kissing the back like a gentleman. He shook his head fondly. “I know I can say no. Stop worrying.”

“Yeah, but still, Moonshine. I should restrain myself more—”

Sparing his tender throat, Patton abandoned his voice in favour of booping Remus’s nose. That shut him up. He choked on a surprised laugh, tossing his head back. Wanting to giggle himself, Patton just smiled at him while his stomach clenched. When Remus stopped laughing, he winced and rubbed the back of his neck.

Patton tugged Remus forward by his hand still clasped in his, and positioned him with his back to his chest. Deft hands delicately came to hold Remus’s neck, just beneath his jaw. His thumbs threaded into the baby hairs at his nape. (The brief thought of being strangled to death, his body left floating in the bathtub framed as a tragic, accidental drowning crossed his mind. Remus had the compulsion to blurt it out, yet ground his teeth.) Tilting his head just so… Click-ck! And the other way… Cra-a-ack. Air trapped between the segments popped like thunder. Shivers ran through him, soothing the kink in his neck, but consequently triggering a different kink (one he didn’t even know he had until right then). “God, I didn’t realise I needed that,” he sighed appreciatively.

Migrating, Patton settled one hand on Remus’s ribs flexing from the aftershocks of his boisterous, rumbling laughter. Patton could feel Remus’s scurrying rabbit heart. De-dum, de-dum— de-de-de-dum, dum. De-dum. Remus’s rabbit heart hopped beneath his palm. Loud, rough, and wild, it nudged at Patton affectionately. His heart had always beaten a little faster, a little harder. A little more passionate than it should, leading it to stumble and hiccup occasionally. Every beat, his heart plucked his muscles like the strings of a viola, each pizzicato note a jolt singing through his body. In contrast, the base of his lungs took short yet deep breaths. Wisps of curly, deep cinnamon seasoned, caramel chest hair grasped and coiled around Patton’s fingertips.

Then, trying to coax out another laugh, Patton ruffled his hair.

And white powder clinging on got displaced from Remus’s fringe, sprinkling the water and suds.

Patton gasped, “That’s why!” (The “I should’ve known” went unsaid.) Being so used to seeing that streak of silver, Patton had forgotten entirely how and why it was there in the first place.

…

“I tried to distract myself but the two weren’t a good combination.”

Trust

February 7th, 2019.

Glue splattered on Patton’s face as soon as he popped up in Remus’s room. (Well, he thought it was something else first, but quickly noticed it was stone cold, so no.) Fucking perfect. Patton had just walked in on the funeral of a monstrous glob of red and white paper mache of intimidating stature. It had a fresh, gaping, fist sized hole in it, dripping like a miscellaneous orifice.

Mindlessly munching on a pencil, Remus stood back to scrutinise his work. That wouldn’t do. Remus summoned his Morningstar over his shoulder. “How do you like this, katoptronophile?!” Remus cackled. His morningstar ploughed through the mache mound vaguely where a head would be in one swift(ish) swing. More pulp splattered Patton’s face.

“Really, Remouse?” He whined exasperatedly. Only just noticing him, Remus chirped, “Patton! Could you help me hide the body? I don’t have enough stomach acid to dissolve the whole corpse. Wait—” Remus spat out his chew toy of a pencil, carving “ass” into the remaining mulch puddle like a signature. “Hope Double Dee won’t be too heartbroken,” he muttered thoughtfully, “Eh, whatever.”

“Dear lord, you’re high as a kite.”

“High as a kite? Kites can’t go to space!” Remus babbled, doing a little theatrical twirl. “Think of what kind of aliens you can find in space! Do you think any of them have tentacles?!” Losing his balance, he stumbled into Patton slumping on his shoulder. Unbothered, Patton patiently waited for Remus to right himself whenever he wanted.

“Did you get stuck into the cookie jar again?” Patton asked casually as he wiped and flicked off various substances from his face and glasses. Doing a double take, that red better not be blood. Using blood sweat and tears isn’t ethical, they’ve talked about this!

“What? No! Of course not! Now, Puppy, why have you got a rabbit on your head and haven’t even introduced me yet?! Who’s this little handsome little fella? He looks like a George,” and Remus dissolved into a fountain of cooing while he ran his fingers through Patton’s hair. (Patton tried not to fucking moan at how good his nails felt scraping against his scalp.)

“Oh, the shrooms…” Patton sighed, “His name is Harold. Harold George—“

“The third! I remember now! How could I forget you? You’re so soft.”

Indulging Remus was Patton’s favourite hobby.

“God, you’re so soft I wanna strangle you and skin you so I can have your soft fur all to myself,” Remus ranted and Patton tried not to show fear. It wasn’t that hard, really... Mostly because he was trying even harder to choke down a begging whimper scrambling onto his tongue. Remus grabbed chunks of his hair in each fist tugging lightly. Patton reminded himself that they weren’t impulses Remus would act on and that he had these thoughts constantly just didn’t tend to share them. “But I won’t cause you’re just too cute, my little mammal brethren.”

Patton wasn’t as cute as his bunny, he thought, but he’d take the compliment.

“Hey do you want some?” Remus offered his pencil to “Harold.”

…

“Fine, suit yourself.” And he ate the rest like a carrot.

Shoulders slacking, Patton huffed fondly.

“I kind of wish you were like this— open— more…” Patton smoothed down Remus’s wrinkled clothes. “I hope you know you don’t need to filter everything you say,” he continued as he fixed his mussed hair with practiced hands. “It doesn’t change anything. You’re my best friend. I’ll never stop loving you, all of you. I don’t love you in spite of your so-called flaws, I love those parts of you just as much as the rest of you.”

That’s what true love means, whatever form it shall take.

Patton made a mental note to tell him that again once he came down. (Sometime, eventually…)

Remus wrapped him in a bear hug, squeezing just tight enough that he felt his ribs flex, but not painfully. “Whoa,” Remus said when he pulled back, eyes wide, “You should keep your skin on, bones and muscle isn’t a good look for you.”

“Silly Snow Bunny.”

Butterfly Kisses

April 16th, 2019.

“You know, once Thomas asked us all to say “I love you” to each other.”

Remus looked up from his sketchbook that rested on Patton’s arm looped around him. It was a typical day bundled in cat and kraken onesies respectively.

“…yeah?” He encouraged him to continue. How Patton’s pitch dropped made Remus draw suspenseful suspicions. Taking a sip of his rum, Patton prepared himself for potential embarrassment. He tapped his glass, listening to the quiet ringing it sang.

“I… I told them all that I loved them. So much. And I really meant it,” Patton said, earnestness framing his words. “I told them that I would give them all butterfly kisses,” Patton chuckled at his own stupid, emotional-ness, “which they ignored, of course.”

Remus leaned backwards into Patton’s chest, trading comfort in the currency of body heat. Peach pink lips mulling over heavy words came into view as Remus tipped his head back. He rested his head on his collarbone, and Patton’s breath rustled his hair. He listened intently— Listened closer to these next heavy words than Patton’s previous ramblings. “But—” Patton swallowed, adam’s apple bobbing, “But Logan could hardly get out the words, Roman was really reluctant, and Virgil refused to say it entirely.”

“Well, I love you,” Remus said, no hesitation.

Patton was star struck.

“R-really?”

“You’re my best friend. Of course I do,” Remus said like it was a no brainer— Since it was.

Voice muffled in his next sip, Patton softly said, “You’re my best friend, too.” He was smiling so much, and ended up biting the glass he hid behind. Mustn’t giggle and disturb the lake of quaint quiet with ripples.

“Butterfly kisses are the ones with the eyelashes, right?”

“Uh-m, yea— huh?”

In Patton’s lap, he craned his neck over his shoulder rather than swiveling around. Leaning in, warm huffs of air skating across their skin, he fluttered his eyelashes against Patton’s cheek. His nose prodded lightly at Patton’s jaw. Specks of white powder dusted onto his cheek from Remus’s fringe, which he quickly wiped off.

Patton became still and quiet as dawn. Dawn when the moon hasn’t said goodbye, and the birds haven’t said good morning yet.

“Teacup?” Remus murmured worriedly. Did he overstep a line (drawn in chalk and scrubbed away by time)? No, no— “Thomas must remember that icecream he ate yesterday, should I fetch some from the kitchen?” Remus attempted to quickly mend.

“No…” Pin drop silence squeezed between their synced inhale and exhale.

“No, jus…” Patton drifted off, setting down his half empty glass. (In second thoughts, he hoped he hadn’t drunk enough to fray or lose this memory.) His newly empty arm draped around Remus’s torso, and Remus tugged his arms close like a well worn winter coat.

“Stay…”

Yandere! Ateez Profiles

Hongjoong:

Type -  Manipulative

Violence - 65%

Possessiveness - 70%

He’s always gotten what he wants. Born with a silver spoon, Hongjoong isn’t used to being told no. Such is the case with his obsession with (Y/N). They can’t refuse him; he won’t let them reject him or any of his advances, not when he has all the power given to him by the world. Yet if he is denied what he wants, he’s trigger happy and ready to throw a violent tantrum. (Y/N) simply has to love him and do everything to his command to live an “easy” life.

“Why are you out past the curfew? If you’re not back in ten minutes, there will be hell to pay.” 

Seonghwa:

Type - Sasaeng

Violence - 45%

Possessiveness - 25%

Almost the perfect dreamboat, Seonghwa will never stop chasing after (Y/N). He’s their biggest fan, and every single part of their life is on his record. His phone is full of so many pictures of (Y/N). He even has pictures of them together, which he obsessively printed out and framed to keep by his bedside.

The entire world knows of their romantic charade, with his constant flirtation and puppy-like attachment with (Y/N). Yet, if anyone disturbs them, Seonghwa is not afraid to take the initiative and end such a poor soul’s life for the crime of bothering her before presenting their corpse to (Y/N) as a gift. Almost the stereotypical relationship between an idol and their adoring fan, yet not quite.

“You look so beautiful today, flower. Then again, you look beautiful everyday! Please, let me walk you home tonight, there’s been rumors of a killer around these parts!”

Yunho:

Type - Dominating

Violence - 90%

Possessiveness - 45%

Yunho knows nothing but to absolutely control (Y/N). They are his shining light to his day, but no one would ever see that. Not with how much he has to manipulate and threaten her, using any and all means to keep her locked away from society. But underlying the mask of dominance is a weakness, the fear of (Y/N) leaving him. If that happened, he would simply crumble to dust.

“You just sit there and look pretty whilst I take care of some business, darling. Don’t make have to tie you up because of your disobedience.”

Yeosang:

Type - Selfish 

Violence -  95%

Possessiveness - 50%

Yeosang lived in the perfect fantasy world. Himself and (Y/N) were the main stars of his life's story, but his princess was unaware of such. She didn't ever see behind his mask. The corpses of contenders for her love were hidden with lies, as he maintained a cool image for her. It was seeing her alone, reserved only for him, that made every murder worthy of his time.

It was only when he reached breaking point that he sought her out to be his. And her refusal to be his in the same way that he was hers didn't put a wrench in his plan; to keep them together, forever, the perfect Romeo and Juliet.

Even if it meant death.

“If it's for you princess I wouldn’t mind dying. Only if you join me, that is.”

San:

Type - Silent Stalker

Violence - 25%

Possessiveness - 65%

It’s about the endgame for San. He doesn’t need to control them, not when they will ultimately end up with him anyway. Still, he has to satisfy his lust in someway, in that comes in the form of stealing small belongings, to add to his shrine of obsession. His prized possession? The diary he stole one day, that he reads every night before going to sleep, to truly connect with her. 

However, San isn’t a stranger to violence. There’s only so much of (Y/N) to go around, and if he hears of any other admirers? They end up on his literal hitlist, written on the back of a receipt from a meal they shared. Holding such relives him of the stress that comes with eliminating the occasional opposition, and reminds him just what he is fighting for.

“She spilled something on this page! She’s such a clumsy cutie, it’s no wonder how she’s the apple of my eye!”

Mingi:

Type - Violent

Violence - 100%

Possessiveness - 1000%

Mingi will never let (Y/N) leave his side. That’s why he bought handcuffs for them after all, to keep her from leaving. But even with such a tight permiter that doesn’t stop him from being incredibly possessive, to the point of growling at or attacking anyone who he feels is a threat to his (Y/N). But that doesn’t mean his little bunny is completely innocent with everyone chasing after her in his eyes. If she’s anywhere near provocative around other people, Mingi is glad to drag her home and tie her up, not letting her see the light of day until she realises her wrongdoings. It’s only fair that they both work to protect their relationship from any invaders.

“He’s not looking at you right, darling. If I catch you glancing at him anymore then you’ll both be in for serious punishment, understood?”

Wooyoung:

Type - Proprietorial

Violence - 69%

Possessiveness - 100%

After just one night with (Y/N), Wooyoung was hooked. Suddenly, he couldn’t stand the idea that anyone else could have them. Thus he tracked down every person they were ever romantically involved with and slaughtered them efficiently. Thus (Y/N) became his, and he is sure to remind them of that. Wooyoung simply can’t hide how much he loves to own every part of her body, from making her wear collars to carving his name into her. Anything to show him that she is permanently his.

“No-one’s touched you here before, have they? I’m the first and only one. God (Y/N), I fucking love you.”

Jongho:

Type - Envious

Violence - 75%

Possessiveness - 95%

Being in a relationship with Jongho is like navigating a minefield when he becomes obsessed. No one can even breathe the same breathe as (Y/N) without his observation, and it only takes one smile to let them know they fucked up. It’s only natural that he wants to get married, so that he can further monopolise (Y/N)’s attention. Jongho would gladly bathe in the blood of the rest of humanity, as long as this meant (Y/N) would only ‘care’ for him.

“You’re to watch this, my love. Watch how this pig screams for his life, and think about how I’ll do this to anyone else in your family who tries to steal you away.”

Alright, let's see SoKai for the ship meme. :P

General:

Rate the Ship -   Awful | Ew | No pics pls | I’m not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Let’s do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs

How long will they last? - Well, they’ve eating the paopu fruit at this point, so their destinies are intertwined forever.

How quickly did/will they fall in love? - Interesting question, because it’s pretty clear that Sora, at least, has a crush on Kairi at the start of the first game, and it’s probably mutual. It was probably a gradual growth of friendship into romance over the course of their childhood and adolescence, with the first game at the tail-end of that transition.

How was their first kiss? - “They ate the paopu fruit - they basically kissed!” That was nearly every commentary on that scene in KH III. A real kiss would be classic Disney material, probably on that tree on Destiny Islands at sunset.

Wedding:

Who proposed? - Sora. Immediately after a life-or-death struggle at the end of an adventure. It was awkward. Bernard’s proposal at the end of Rescuers Down Under awkward. Kairi loved it.

Who is the best man/men? - Riku, to the extent you can say it had a best man (see below.)

Who is the braid’s maid(s)? - If I accept any of the games past KH II in this exercise, then Namine.

Who did the most planning? - I’d like to think they got married at Disney Castle, with Merlin or the Fairy Godmother officiating, so it was all planned out by the classic Disney playbook - think of what you saw at the end of Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, etc. That’s also not a terribly organized wedding with a lot of assigned roles, though.

Who stressed the most? - Donald, because he and Chip n’ Dale got into a fight over how to decorate the Gummi ship for sending the couple off. He ends up with his head stuck in the axis of a gear while Chip n’ Dale take over.

How fancy was the ceremony? - Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.

Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? - Thanks to the world order, a whole lot of people weren’t invited, because they weren’t allowed off their worlds. Sora got around that by using Summon magic (with help from the Fairy Godmother.)

Sex: Are you mad? This is Disney!

Who is on top? -

Who is the one to instigate things? -

How healthy is their sex life? - Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now

How kinky are they? - Straight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head

How long do they normally last? -

Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? -

How rough are they in bed? - Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it.

How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? - No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public (I’ll go this far with them) | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory.

Children: Again, fankids aren’t my thing.

How many children will they have naturally? -

How many children will they adopt? -

Who gets stuck with the most diapers? -

Who is the stricter parent? -

Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? -

Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? -

Who is the more loved parent? -

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings?

Who cried the most at graduation? -

Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? -

Cooking:

Who does the most cooking? - Sora makes the most attempts, assuming (incorrectly) that he picked up some skills from Little Chef. It rarely goes well.

Who is the most picky in their food choice? - I don’t imagine either of them are picky.

Who does the grocery shopping? - It’s pretty strange, thinking of them in domestic situations like this when nothing like this happens in the games. I’ll say they split it.

How often do they bake desserts? - Again, Sora tries, and rarely succeeds, so he doesn’t try often.

Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? - Fruit!

Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? - Sora.

Who is more likely to suggest going out? - Sora. Whether he’s got access to the Gummi ship or not, he likes that Bistro.

Who is more likely to burn the house down accidently while cooking? - Sora. Good thing Kairi knows magic now.

Chores:

Who cleans the room? - Who needs to assign chores when Aero, Gravity, and Magnet can take care of a room in no time?

Who is really against chores? - Neither’s against it, but they can both be lazy.

Who cleans up after the pets? - No pets. Who has time for pets when you have to keep saving the multiverse?

Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? - Again, magic.

Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? - The bigger stress is having five minutes’ peace to actually have guests over.

Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning? - It’s called Munny, and you don’t find it in the couch, you find it in the corpse of a Heartless.

Misc:

Who takes the longer showers/baths? - Man, these domestic ones are a stumper. Sora, I guess? Seems like the kind of guy who’d lose track of time.

Who takes the dog out for a walk? - No dog to take out.

How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? - Decorate? When the Gummi ship’s available, they can just go to Halloweentown and Christmastown! And the other doors are there too, so...

What are their goals for the relationship? - To stop getting screwed over by Nomura Get back home to Destiny Islands and enjoy some peace.

Who is most likely to sleep till noon? - Sora.

Who plays the most pranks? - Sora.

Interviews With Some Monsters

If you haven’t already read The Carnival make sure you check it out before reading this one!

I’m sitting here with William Saxon. The ring leader, so to speak, of a travelling Halloween carnival, called Halloscream. Later on, I will be interviewing a few more guests from this wonderfully scary carnival. But, let’s get into this, shall we?

Tell me, Mr. Saxon, how did this whole thing start?

Hi Debra, it’s great to be here with you. It all started when my mother and father took me to see my first circus show. It was magical, and the performers had excellent tasting blood. Now that I think about it, that was my first real hunt with my parents. Rest their soulless bodies. Anyway, as I was cleaning the excess blood off myself, I thought about how fun it would be to have my own show like that. And before I know it, I’m five hundred years old, thirty-something in human years—don’t ask, I still don’t understand how ageing works among us vampires—and I’m recruiting all the best ghouls and monsters to join my creepy carnival on wheels.

That sounds… delightful! What sort of challenges did you face when you first got yourself started? And how long has it been since the first event?

Well, it definitely wasn’t easy. I honestly didn’t think it would take off. But once I gathered some friends and told them my plans, they were on board. Then word spread and more creeps were eager to help out. We figured out everyone’s role, what we wanted to have in our shows, and we had to do some research on human carnivals. At first, we were worried about humans not enjoying it because it was too scary. We then realized we could capitalize on Halloween, and went from there. Also, time doesn’t really affect us as it would with you, so it could be twelve or twenty years since our first rodeo, we don’t know.

It seems like that really worked out for you. What kind of things do you do to entertain your guests?

Great question, Deb—can I call you Deb?

Fine by me.

So, Deb, we do all kinds of things! For starters, we scare the heaven out of our guests. We have real haunted houses—although they don’t know they’re real—different rides, and some small acts throughout the place; juggling, sword eating, bobbing for poisoned apples, you know, the usual stuff. Most of our rides run on some magic from our lovely witches, and we’re lucky to have such a great team of talented freaks. Everyone gets paid by the scream! So we work hard. But it’s not all about the earnings, it’s about the guests too, of course. We love scaring them and seeing them all have a fantastic time. It really makes all of this worth it. Pardon me, I’m getting off track. Our forms of entertainment are as human as any other carnival; except for the special effects, I don’t suppose humans can pull their own faces off. We like to keep things as “normal” as we can. But, we do have a special after party for those who seem worthy enough to enter. Which I won’t get into because it’s VIP only, and I wouldn’t want to spoil the fun for anyone listening.

Very good. I have one more question for you before we move on to our other guests: are you ever worried that young people will stop being scared of ghosts and monsters? With today’s mainstream media, they might become desensitized to all the fake horror of the world, especially when there’s so much real horror that’s hard to ignore.

First of all, what we do isn’t fake. It’s real. We are real. We just tone things down for the public, so we don’t get shut down by the feds. And secondly, I try not to think about that, because I know kids these days are becoming more entertained by horror, than scared of it. I know some kids who laugh while they’re supposed to be getting scared. It’s tough business being a monster. Although, I have faith that we—the unexplainable—will always make people frightened and uncomfortable. Compared to the day-to-day horror we see in the news, there’s no easy way to explain us; what you see on the news is what you get. With us, you never know what will happen. We are, and hopefully always will be, the enigma of horror.

Excellent! Thank you for joining me, I appreciate you being open with me.

You’re welcome, Deb. You always have been my favourite journalist. Maybe we can meet up later, and I can show you my fangs if you know what I mea—

Okay, great. Thanks again, William.

Our next guest is Vivian Wyrm. She’s been with Halloscream for quite a while, and I’ve been told she is one of the resident witches. Welcome, Ms. Wyrm, thank you for being here today.

I didn’t really have a choice, vampy over there said that if I didn’t give an interview he’d stop letting me turn kids into animals. So, here I am.

Oh, well I’m glad you came. Now, can you tell me how this experience has been from your perspective?

It’s not bad; I get my own trailer, my own food, and everyone knows that if they try messing with this old lady they’ll get turned to soup—that’s another fun thing I like to do. I just like turning people into things in general. I can also summon the dead sometimes, just depends on who answers. I don’t have a very good track record with the ladies and gents downstairs, so they tend to hang up before things even get going.

And the carnival, do you like your job there?

Of course I do. Didn’t I just say that? You uppity people… I used to be like you, you know? Glowing skin, bright eyes… look at me now! I’m a goddess. You should really look into dark magic. I can teach you a thing or two if you’d like. Though, I do already have my hands full with my fellow witchy women. I don’t know what I’d do without that bunch.

Well, I—

How long do these things usually take? I’ve got a date with the devil and I need time to freshen up before I go.

Oh, you can go if you have somewhere to be, that’s fine Ms. Wyrm.

Great! Thanks. Good luck with… whatever this is. See ya.

Okay, have a good day Vivian.

Next on our list is Bobo The Clown. Hi there Bobo, how are you doing today?

Hiya! I’m great, Miss Debra! So happy to be here!

I’m glad! So, what do you do at Halloscream?

Well, I scare the kiddies, but I also like making them laugh. I like doing tricks for them and seeing their faces when the trick is over. One time I even learned how to pull a bunny out of a hat, but it didn’t turn out so well because I didn’t know it had to be alive… but anyway, I love the kids. They’re great. I guess my job is to make sure everyone is happy, happy happy!

It really seems like you enjoy yourself there. What do you think of your fellow carney’s?

I think they’re great! Well, mostly. Some of them can be mean, but that’s okay. I know it’s hard for them to control that. One time wolfie tried to eat me, but he didn’t like the taste, he said I tasted too much like candy and battery acid. I guess those acid baths really paid off!

Oh my… do you have a favourite trick to play on your guests?

Hmm, let me think… oh yes! I really like doing this thing where I use my own intestines to create balloon animals! I learned it from a friend of mine. Everyone thinks it’s fake, like some kind of cool special effect or something. But, it’s totally real. And before you ask, it doesn’t hurt at all. I’m not really sure why though… my supernatural abilities are kind of a mystery. My friends tell me that I was in an accident when I was human, and then they found me wandering around my corpse like a lost puppy. Oh, I do love puppies. Do you love puppies?

I do. That’s an interesting story Bobo, but unfortunately, your time is up here, and I need to bring in the next guest. It was wonderful speaking to you, thank you for sharing your experience.

Aww… okay. I liked talking to you. But I guess I’ll go. I hope you have a super amazing day Miss Debra!

Thank you again, Bobo.

Now, let’s welcome one of the many ghosts on the Halloscream team, Samuel… The Spookster?

Ayuh, that’s me. You like it? You like it, don’t you? Spooksta’. Sounds good, right? The big ol’ vamp over there told us we could call ourselves whatever we wanted. I thought this was a pretty nice pick; really rolls off the tongue… although, everything rolls off the tongue these days… because like, I can’t put anything in my mouth, because I’m dead.

Right, yes, it sure is a great name. What made you want to participate in this carnival?

I dunno, I like scarin’ people I guess, and the benefits are good. It’s a cool gig. Before this thing started, I was just spookin’ people in their homes. That was cool, but it got boring after some years. In this day n’ age, people don’t get scared like they used to—too many movies out there, gets people excited to see ghosts. That’s pretty rubbish. But whatever, it’s cool, this place is nice.

So you work in the haunted houses I hear, do you do anything else besides that?

Nah, I like the haunted houses. They remind me of my old job, the home job I just mentioned, y’know. Except it’s more entertaining and there are more people to scare. I wouldn’t wanna be anywhere else.

I’m sure your ringleader is glad to hear that. Is this something you see yourself doing for a long time?

Well, y’know, I got all the time in the world, being dead n’ all. I would die again if it meant I could still be here and with this family, and scarin’ people for the rest of my life. I couldn’t be happier. I really am blessed to be here Debs. I can see myself doing just this until my ectoplasm turns to dust—figure of speech, of course. This slimy ol’ bod ain’t goin’ nowhere!

Really great stuff, Samuel. We are running out of time here, though. I still have a few more of your friends—

Family.

Of course, family. I still have more of your family to get through, so we’ll have to say goodbye for now.

Sure thing. Was great talking to ya.

You too, Samual.

Our next guest is Lillian Dawn, one of the resident werewolves. Nice to meet you, Miss Dawn.

Please, call me Lillian. It’s nice to meet you too. It’s great to be in the presence of another strong female.

Why thank you. Now tell me, what has all this been like for you?

It’s been… interesting. As you probably know, most werewolves are seen as male. So, sometimes it can be difficult for me. But if anyone ever steps on my tail, it’s dinner time, baby. I don’t mind cracking open a few sexist skulls here and there. Even if the vamp disapproves—he’s pretty old school. I do enjoy frightening people, though. My big trick is convincing the guests that I’m this lost and scared damsel in distress, and when they think they’re helping me, I turn into my beautiful self. It’s hilarious watching their eyes bulge and legs shake. I love it!

I didn’t know that sort of issue came up with creatures like yourself. That’s unfortunate, but I’m glad you’ve learned how to deal with it. What made you want to join the gang?

To be honest, I was iffy at first. William found me wandering around a forest by myself. I was in full wolf mode, too. I had just found out my parents had been killed by hunters. I was afraid… I guess that’s why I try so hard to prove myself now because I don’t want to be that scared werewolf anymore. Anyway, he explained what he was planning and eventually convinced me to join him and his friends. There wasn’t a lot of them when I joined, but it quickly became something huge. And here we are! As much as he gets on my nerves, I’m grateful for what William did for me—I’m grateful for all of them.

Wonderful, Lillian. I’m sorry about your parents. It also seems like we are running out of time faster than I anticipated. I suppose I put too many people on the roster today.

That’s all right, Debra. It was very nice chatting with you.

Oh yes, you as well!

Last and certainly not least, our next guest is the newest member of Halloscream. Allow me to welcome Molly Thatcher to the show!

Thank you, it’s good to be here.

I’m quite excited to meet you, Molly. I heard that you’ve only been part of the team for about three years, is that right?

Yeah, it’s been like three or four, something like that. I honestly haven’t been keeping track, especially after I was turned.

Right, and how was that? Was this something you were seeking out?

Absolutely not. I was only sixteen when I showed up at the carnival. I grew up loving Halloween and all things scary, so when I heard about the event I was really excited to check it out. The next thing I know I’m watching two young boys being hurt for entertainment. It was horrifying. I had no idea what I had gotten myself into. Eventually, I let them have me. I joined the carnival. And as soon as I turned eighteen I became one of them. It was the hardest choice I ever had to make, but looking back I’m glad I did it. Even if I did say yes just to protect the people I love, I’m happy now, and I wouldn’t change anything.

Are you implying that they used your loved ones in order to convince you to join them?

Well, yes. They did do that. But I’m happy now; being a vampire is incredible!

I see, well as long as you’re happy. Is there anything you miss from your human life?

Of course. I miss a lot of things. Like, being able to eat whatever I want… I really miss french fries. And my family and friends, I miss them a lot. But I know they’re better off and doing well. I also miss my bed—William makes us sleep in old coffins for aesthetic purposes. He says we should honour our ancestors or something. But honestly, I don’t think about my old life all that much. I have a new life now, and it’s great! It’s everything I didn’t know I needed.

Understandable, there’s no winning when you live in the past. What role do you play amongst everyone else?

I don’t really have a role right now. I’m kind of still learning a few things. Sometimes I’ll be around the area, scaring kids, but I’m basically a side character. I do like scaring, though. It’s really fun.

Interesting. Would you ever recommend doing something like this?

What? No, of course not! This isn’t like, a vacation. This is our livelihood. The last thing we want is people coming to us and begging everyone to make them a monster. We’re a family, and only those who deserve to be here, are here. I was lucky to be given this life, but I would not “recommend” trying to squeeze your way into our home.

Fair enough. Last question for you before we go: after being initiated into Halloscream, has your view on horror changed at all? Do you still find certain things as scary as you used to?

That’s a good question. I do think my views have changed. Being around monsters, ghosts, and all sorts of ghouls on a day-to-day basis has desensitized me for sure. Which is a little unfortunate, because I used to love being scared of those things. But, I think now I’m afraid of other things. There’s a lot that comes along with being a monster. I’m constantly thinking about how I can protect myself from the outside world, like, I always need to make sure I’m not in my true form when I’m entertaining people, or just talking to them. Because humans aren’t really accepting of creatures like us. It’s hard. But I mean, you get used to it I guess.

Well, I appreciate all your honesty today. I’m very glad I could talk to you. Thank you for being here, Molly. I wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavours.

Thank you. It was great to be here!

On that note, I want to give a special shout out to everyone who made today possible. I’m incredibly lucky to have this job because I get to meet so many wonderful people and… non-people. Thanks again to everyone who talked with me today. We really learned a lot, and I’d be happy to do it again. It was a good reminder—we shouldn’t judge people before we know them. And here’s another reminder: make sure you check out Halloscream in a town near you! Until next time, this is Debra Way, signing off.

Thanks for reading! If you’d like to read more of my work, you can find them here.

[paladinsheadcanons]

What are champs like in bed? Likes dislikes? And I do mean this in a more sfw way. I'm just curious xP. P.s. Inara is bae

I will assume you meant how they sleep or their night routine, because otherwise I have no idea about this. 

- Mod Ash

Makoa: Does not really need much sleep, so he often meditates, reads, or talks to people when he is given time to rest. Sometimes he will take long walks when he’s restless, and would take hours to finish it, because he will definitely spend twenty minutes staring at a flower or other things. He sometimes tries writing, but is often unsatisfied with his work, and he just rests or meditates it off. 

Fernando: He washes his face, takes care of it, and nitpicks on tiny imperfections until he gets too tired to do anything else. He will make himself a sangria or just have a plain glass of wine to lull himself to sleep, where he keeps warm mood lights around his bed and soft music playing. On work days he forgets the skincare routine, but the lights and music stay. 

Ruckus: Will often don’t bother and will sleep in Bolt, still in his suit. He thinks it does not matter much, because there’s not much else to do. If he feels like it, he will change to something more comfortable, but will often drag along Bolt to wherever he’s sleeping. He may dislike him a bit but he won’t leave him to “sleep” somewhere cold. 

Barik: Often spends his nights crouched down on the drawing board, with a cup of coffee, trying to plan things or fix any existing schematics. If not, he would be on the floor attempting to make something. When he actually tucks himself in bed, sleep goes as fast as it comes, and most of his energy comes from sources that aren’t sleep. The amount of coffee he drinks is concerning. 

Ash: Haphazardly wipes off her makeup, drops her armor somewhere, and often doesn’t bother switching out of her fatigues before dropping herself straight to bed. If she’s not too tired, she will wash her hair, get a clean shirt on, and maybe read something if she’s having difficulty sleeping. Otherwise, she’s passed out the second her head hits the pillow. She’s very hard to wake up since she has a strict routine. 

Torvald: Reads a lot before bedtime, often to the point that he forgets to sleep. His bed is soft and he has lots of pillows propped up for a comfortable sitting position, and he usually has either the music or radio playing as he reads things that aren’t research related. Sometimes, he makes himself tea before he tucks himself in, in which he often sleeps lightly for a few hours before waking up.

Inara: Almost doesn’t sleep. Oftentimes she takes long walks and tends to her garden, otherwise her long walks involve her admiring views, if there is any. Sometimes she tries to tire herself by reading poetry to herself (or any wildlife nearby) before she attempts to “sleep.” She rests for a full day and can somehow stay awake for a week after that. 

Drogoz: He always has some fraction of his hoard nearby him or tucked close, if he’s not sleeping nearby the entire thing. He often likes admiring his collection of wealth and trinkets, as well as cleaning everything and keeping track of the more valuable stuff. He often talks to himself and reads fairytales to himself before he decides its time to sleep. He never sleeps deep enough to be undisturbed. 

Bomb King: Doesn’t sleep. It’s like he needs to. He greatly enjoys the fact that he doesn’t need to rest, and he often goes around at times he’s asked to “rest” to prank people and make them panicky for no reason other than his own entertainment. He usually ends up entertaining himself by burning something apparently important. 

Cassie: Sensitive to coffee or any caffeine; once she drinks a sip of coffee or anything caffeinated, she will stay awake until 3AM. Otherwise, she has a strict sleeping schedule, and often sleeps with her valuables close to her. She has a journal she almost religiously writes on before bed, and her window stays open for Ziggs. 

Lian: Undressing and retiring for the night almost feels like a ritual, as Lian takes her sweet time changing to more comfortable clothing. Surprisingly sleeps late, and takes her time with taking care of herself and washing herself before going to bed, where she reads reports or work things with tea in hand before deciding randomly that she wants to tuck herself in. 

Kinessa: What is sleep? She chugs coffee every day and night and still somehow manages to be tired enough to sleep because coffee just doesn’t work anymore. She’s going to sleep in an ungodly hour in the night because why not. She will often spend time cleaning her rifle or shooting random things from her window before she gets bored and lies down to do things until she passes out. 

Sha Lin: Hygiene is very important for him, so he takes a shower, washes his hair, brushes his teeth and gargles before he changes to better clothes. He sleeps light, so he sometimes doesn’t bother trying to lull himself and either just passes out in seconds or spends an hour thinking about things he may have done differently. Any anxiety is gone the instant he wakes up, however. 

Viktor: Sleep is rather difficult for him, and sometimes he forgets to sleep, but sometimes he just doesn’t want to. He often reads, throws things around, and sometimes has to physically force himself to lie down. When he does lie down, his head is just filled with thoughts, and just thinks that lying down is better for him than not sleeping altogether. He often ends up dozing off eventually, although lightly. 

Tyra: Has several layers of furry blankets on her bed, and could not sleep without at least one or two over her, even on hot days. Often reads a few chapters of a book before she sleeps, or just lie down thinking about things. Sleeping takes her a while, and is a little difficult to wake up. Very cuddly, and has huge long pillows to cuddle against. 

Willo: She is still rather young, so she sleeps pretty long, on flower-shaped beds back in her home where she curls in like a bee finding their home in nature. There is not much ritual to it, but some of her fellow faeries think she sleeps either too much or too little and makes efforts to improve her rest. Willo finds them intrusive. 

Evie: Often very restless, and has lots of unused energy she has no idea where to use. Her sleep schedule is sporadic and unpredictable, and often decides that she wants to sleep right in the middle of something important. When she does decide to sleep the most she can do is switch to comfier clothes and maybe remove her makeup before she drops down unconscious on soft sheets. 

Skye: Switches to extremely soft clothes, bunny slippers and all. She has some entertainment like music, books, or movies close by, and depending on the day she’s going to immerse herself in it while she takes a long, relaxing bath in the tub, with scrubs and oils and all. She does the more relaxing version of this once a week, while on normal days she just sticks to music on the shower before tucking herself in fluffy sheets.

Androxus: He sleeps surprisingly okay, although he dozes off lightly most of the time because he’s become more alert on his surroundings ever since he got cursed. He still attempts to make the whole sleeping experience easier or more normal, like changing to comfier clothes or music or trying to lucid dream, however those attempts have mixed results and he often just settles with what he can do. He doesn’t sleep much but he still needs his short, occasional naps. 

Buck: He does not have much to his ways of sleeping, but often he finds himself returning to his old, monk ways and sitting by his bed to just meditate. Often he doesn’t have time to, so he can only do so successfully around once a week; otherwise he would either have a cup of tea or read a book until he dozes off and forgets to put away the cup or the book. He sleeps with the lights on and dozes off rather lightly, as he feels safer.

Maeve: Loves fluffy clean blankets more than anything else in the world. Usually changes to clean clothes before going to bed, if possible, and looks out on the view if there is any before she tucks herself in. She has bought herself a stuffed toy with all the money she has stolen, and it is a bit worn but well-loved. Sleep often comes to her fast. 

Zhin: He has a fancy bed he tucks himself in, and his night routine is usually quick – he polishes his sword, maybe throws something around, and maybe takes a walk around the area just to get some fresh air, otherwise it’s straight to bed for him. He always has a weapon of some form nearby and he wouldn’t sleep without a means of protecting himself. There’s always a knife under his pillow at his home.

Lex: Rather restless at night, and would often do other things in favor of sleeping, like chores, coffee, or watching other people do other things. When he tucks himself to bed, he falls asleep rather quickly and has no ritual or routine to it, but he snores when he’s extremely tired and is very vocal when he’s seeing something nasty in his dreams. Sleeps rather light and straight, like how a corpse would lay down on a coffin. 

Mal’Damba: Often forgets that he has alotted rest time because he busies himself with so much chores and social interaction that he just plain forgets he needs to sleep. He will tend to what his snakes need, and that would take an hour or so because sometimes he would sing to them, and later on goes to bed without much ritual to himself. He sleeps rather normally and wakes up early most of the time.

Pip: Is often more awake at night, and takes long naps at the morning. At night is when he is more creative, so he’s up most of the night as he works and deals with anything he needs to work on. Because of his different sleep schedule, he only has a short window of time to talk to other people, but he doesn’t mind it. He can still stay rather energetic during daytime when he doesn’t sleep, however. 

Grover: It takes him a long while to prepare for his rest, and when he does, he takes root, letting the soil and the wildlife near him fuel him. He slumbers for a week or more when he does, and he lets himself be a part of nature as he lets any rage boil down and dissolve to the soil beneath him. When he uproots himself, he is awake and living for a month, or even a year, if he times it right or if no one disturbs him. 

Grohk: Likes playing around with his powers, and oftentimes likes playing around and zapping things. When he tries to rest he feels like he can’t, or he shouldn’t. When he is at home he likes taking advantage of the fact that he’s chieftain and have other orcs help him out with preparing or relaxing, like having them get hot water for his feet. You can’t disturb him when he’s tucked in, please don’t try. 

Seris: She sleeps rather quickly, but as she rests her spiritual form leaves and wanders around dimensions, giving her dreams, so her consciousness never really rests. Oddly, this is therapeutic to her, as she is in her better, stronger form observing the world around her. She “sleeps” rather deep and long; her rests can last for 10 hours or more, but its enough to last her a good long while. 

Ying: Goes to sleep at either 8PM or 12MN, there’s no in-between. She has a skincare routine she follows to the letter, and she will do it for an hour if she has to. Usually listens to music and tries to play music herself when she’s attempting to sleep, or she does small chores around the room before attempting to go to bed. She falls asleep almost instantly.

Jenos: He almost doesn’t sleep. It’s a bit scary to people who have just met him. He often just stares at the sky at night and it seems calming and resting enough for him. When he does sleep more human-like, he stacks pillows by the headboard and sits himself up before he attempts to doze off, in which he “falls asleep” rather quickly. 

Strix: Sleep is rather difficult for him, so he tries to distract himself with things at night, and often ends up not sleeping at all. He would read, watch things, dance and listen to music, and often try weird hobbies for the first time. He has odd sleeping schedules; he only sleeps for two or three hours at a time and takes a lot of naps throughout the day. 

Talus: He has a small stuffed toy, which is falling apart and quite literally held together by threads. He sleeps in weird corners of the room and is very restless when he does get a shuteye. He’s been caught several times around the place in odd sleeping positions. Some people think he sleepwalks. No one has really confirmed it. 

Terminus: He doesn’t sleep. It’s rather hard to. When he is given time to “rest” he sometimes lies down and tries to, hoping he won’t wake up, but he does and he has stopped trying as it frustrates him. He ends up staring at things and trying to do mundane things he used to do, but the night always ends with him staring at a wall one way or another, more angry at himself than anything else. 

Vivian: Her room has several locks, and she makes sure all her curtains are closed and her windows are locked and makes it routine to check around her entire room before she goes to bed. She rarely does anything non-work related, and mostly checks profiles or scoop on people before she tucks herself in. Her bedside lamp is dimmed and warm and is left on when she sleeps, right beside a weapon of some form. 

Moji: She often rests with Po-Li, who she takes great care of, making sure they are fed and taken care of before she herself rests, often also with Po-Li. She shares her food with them and talks to them about the day (even if they can’t respond) before she grabs them both a blanket and a soft pillow to rest on, where she’d pet Po-Li until both of them gets rather drowsy. They often sleep quick and wake up at almost the same time.

Obligatory Carnivores have Hearts too

​​so...plot bunnies and brain blah. An au me and @bringobaggins had discussed one Skype yesterday and I couldn't get it out of my head without writing something for it. It's not been beta read but it hope it proves interesting enough of a concept. Marco and Jean are ghouls who happen to adopt a bunch of ghoul children who need help. (You should know also, that I know very little About Tokyo ghoul.) --- "Hungry..." sighed the little body against Marco's back, cold nose at his neck and freezing tiny hands gripping with as much strength as they possessed at this coat while they trotted in and out of the streetlight and shadows. "It'll stop soon, I promise," Marco hushed, hiking the kid up a little higher in the piggyback hold and stepping up his pace. She was already so small...her eyes had peered up at his from the shadows behind the dumpster red on black, glowing faintly and a small blue tail whipping back and forth as she had bravely sized up Marco, a grown ghoul more then three times her size and weight. How could he just leave? Jean was really gonna kill him this time...they were barely keeping a lid on everything as it was. Not that Marco particularly thought Jean would ever put up much of a fight to this - he rarely did anymore, and even then it was less like a fight and more the blond howl grumbling to himself as he went to find some clean clothes and heat up some water for a bath. Marco almost smiled at the thought. Jean could gripe and moan and spit sarcasm all the live-long day, but after the sun set and the kids were all put to bed (bed being a relative term here, more like 'put to sleep wherever they found space') he'd take careful count of their stock, their meager pocket money carefully rationed and make a list of anything the kids might need - or want, even. Marco would know. He helped. There came the sound of footsteps clomping down the small side street at the mouth of the alley Marco and his new charge traveled through, and the man froze, quickly slipping backwards to press them into the darkness, quieting the girl's whimper. The group was...young. A bunch of kids probably no older then Marco himself, laughing and talking like the night was theirs to while away. Marco wrinkled his nose faintly. Had it not been for the stench of hard alcohol and cheap tobacco - amongst other things in their blood stream - he might have found his interest in them more intense, even without the constant gnaw of hunger in his gut. But...well, maybe it was just the fact of having to constantly keep the well-being of children on his mind lately, but he'd always preferred his ah, dinner guests...clean. The group passed the pair's hiding spot quickly, and as soon as Marco knew they were out of earshot for his stealth (or lack thereof) Marco darted forward into the open. The little corridor of a street was lined with cars and tiny by-way shops and mom-and-pop stores that had long since closed up for the night. Even in the big city with a fairly active night life even this far away from city central, people tended to not want to..well...tempt fate. Marco might have resented that, if he simply didn't sympathize too much with those who locked up their doors tight just after sundown and refused to open them until the sun had properly risen. (Though, they were often the same folk who'd blame the victims so often displayed on the news for their own deaths, 'walking around outside after dark, what did they expect was going to happen'.) Marco didn't like watching the news anymore then he had to for such reasons. He usually left that to Jean. He didn't like seeing the number flashing at the bottom of the screen every morning at promptly eight o'clock counting off the number of bodies had ben recovered in the light of day, mangled, hacked at - sometimes fought over with the loser still left lying beside the corpse. Marco grit his teeth and told himself not to get worked up about it right now, as much as he could feel himself wanting to. Leaving almost whole bodies around like they mean nothing...What a fucking waste... Marco was thankfully broken from this line of thought by the child at his back sniffling against the late autumn chill and tugging a little at his coat. Right, more important things to think about...The man checks down the road, one side, and then the other before moving on, truly jogging now but trying not to draw too much attention from any passers-by. Weaving in and out of small back ways and down sets of stairs, eventually dropping down a horribly rusted metal ladder into a disused service tunnel, Marco made his way back to the closest approximation of home he'd had in a while. He was glad he and Jean were generally the only people who knew about this place - they'd spent a long while going over maps of the area, subway routs and construction plans for the area, but had found that this series of bunkers weren't marked at all on the latest maps of the city. Hiding in plain sight seemed to be a theme for their people... "Where are we going?" Marco tried not to jump for the girl's sake as her voice cut through the eery silence of the dark tunnel, unexpected. He played off his slight anxiety for her with a warm smile. Her eyes, still dark and glinting red under the jury-rigged emergency lights scattered about the walls blinked up at him seeming too bing and looking like she still wanted to cry. "Somewhere safe. Home. You can get something to eat and get warm, and have a bed to sleep in. And friends!" Hi words had little affect on her, turning her face back into his bare neck and stifling her pained whines. Marco repressed the urge to sigh again. He was going as fast as he felt comfortable with, but who knows how long she'd gone without a proper meal - how long it was since she'd been abandoned and left to go feral and inevitably hunted down by...them. She hadn't even told him her name when he'd inquired as a start to build enough trust to get her to come with him, even after he'd offered his own freely, and given her his switchblade so she could feel a little safer around him. Marco didn't balme her though. He couldn't see any of their behavior as anything more then a product of the environment they'd been forced into. Too damn young, even for their kind... Even the unreliable light of the emergency lamps gradually faded into nothing the deeper they journeyed into the maze of concrete and metal. AS a ghoul, Marco didn't need much light to see - the world above provided more then enough of it to navigate by even in the darkest parts of the city at night, but this was a blackness blanketing their senses like nothing else. A yawing abyss. Marco held the girl a little closer to him as he felt her shiver and shake in aborted sobs, boots scraping over scrap metal and cracked cement by muscle memory alone, scents and sounds of the place alien to any but those who lived there. And thankfully, Marco's senses had never led him wrong yet. He reached out into black nothingness - and his fingers lights, just as he knew they would, upon a large handle-latch. It would take a human some amount of work to open the monster of metal (even before it had been modified by Jean and Marco). But it gave easily enough under the creature's supernatural strength, swinging inwards with a loud groan that reverberated around the tunnel behind him. Light suddenly spilled over them, as well as heat and a dozen or more scents and sounds all coming from different places. "Not another one..." came a voice from somewhere above the ruckus, and Marco couldn't keep the smile off his face as he stepped into it all. "Good night to you too, Jean."
