Horror Movie Night😈 - Alastor x Reader

Charlie wanted to find an activity to bring everyone together, since a lot of the personalities in the hotel would clash. She had made a list of ideas, but majority of them were turn down for being too childish. The last option was a movie night with everyone, and surprisingly everyone agreed. The genre of movie was the real problem. Charlie wanted a musical. Vaggie had a preference for drama. Angel dust preferred either a steamy flick (aka porn) or comedy. Niffty voted for romance. Husk didn't really care, but he wouldn't be upset if it was an action movie. Sir Pentious was interested in historical / documentaries. Alastor was not a big fan of modern technology especially television, but he would give it a try if the movie was a horror. You enjoyed all genres of movies, so it didn't matter which one you saw. Coming up with an idea, you suggested pulling a name out of the hat, to decide the genre of movie that gets picked. Borrowing Husk's hat for a bit, everyone wrote their name on a piece of paper and tossed it in. After a quick shake, you grabbed the first piece of paper and pulled it out.

Yelp, looks like it was going to be a horror movie as Al's was the name you pulled out. Everyone had made their way to the couch, while some of them sat on the floor. They were all dressed in their pajamas. Niffty had made popcorn and drinks for everyone to enjoy during the movie. Charlie was lighting some candles to add some effect when the movie was playing. Next to you on the couch was Alastor. He was wearing a red stripped top, and black lounge pants. He seemed very cozy. "Hey Al. What movie did you pick?" Alastor looked at you, smiling big as always. 'Well my dear, I picked whatever seemed interesting! I hope you will enjoy it!" Giving an awkward smile back, your eyes turned toward the TV as soon as Charlie pressed play. You didn't mind horror movies, but being the scaredy cat that you were, they still made you scream.

The movie that Alastor picked was "The Descent." The start of the film was a bit slow, but it slowly began to build up overtime. It got to the point in the movie where the characters had entered into the large cave, to explore. Yeah, that was already a red flag. Scanning your eyes around the room, you took in everyone's reactions. Charlie and Vaggie were hugging the life out of each other. Niffty was smiling, but she was clutching on to her plushie very tightly. Angel was on edge and tried to cling on to Husk, only to be pushed back by him. Angel huffed and decided to a least grab Husk's hand for comfort, and Husk allowed that at least. Sir Pentious was cowering on the floor, wrapping his whole tail around him. Alastor was just smiling next to you, obviously enjoying where the movie was going. You, on the other hand, was getting a very bad feeling in your stomach as the characters kept exploring the cave. The pillow that you were holding was being used as a shield as you kept hiding behind it, waiting for something to happen.

The climax of the movie had arrived when the grotesque bat-like monster had made an appearance and proceeded to feast on one of the characters. Everyone in the room had screamed and jumped, including you, as you covered your face with the pillow. There was a chuckle to your right as Alastor was laughing, at both the movie and your adorable reactions. From the start of the film, Al was seeking glances at you, wondering what your next reaction would be. The face you made when the dread set in was highly entertaining to him. However, he did pity you a bit, as he could see that the movie was frightening you tremendously. Unbeknownst to you, you felt someone drape their arm behind your shoulders, pulling your body closer towards them. Looking up from the pillow, it was clear that it was Al who had done it. His eyes were still watching the movie, clearly enjoying the gruesome moments. Not saying a word, you continued to watch the movie, but the feelings of fear had diminished a bit due to Alastor's actions. The movie had finally ended, as the credits began to flash on the screen. Everyone gave a sigh of relief, except Al . Clapping with glee, he found the movie quite invigorating. Vaggie rolled her eyes at him, while whispering "creepy weirdo" under her breath. It had gotten super late, so it was time to head for bed.

Wishing everyone a good night sleep, you carried yourself back to your room, despite the prickling sensation that you felt crawling up your back. That movie was still on your mind, but you tried to push the fear away. Alastor was following from behind , since the both of you were next door neighbors. "Feeling alright, my dear? That picture show had you shaking like a leaf!" He was definitely smirking when he said that. "No s✪✪✪, Sherlock." Grumbling your response back at him, you continued to make your way to your cozy abode. Having arrived at the door, you turned to Al, who had just arrived at his door. "Good night, Alastor." "You as well, my dear!" Making over to the bed, you laid down and got under the covers, adjusting yourself to get comfortable. It took a while, but the droopy feeling had taken effect on your eyes, and you fell into a deep sleep. Pitch blackness was all around you. The muscles in your body felt like they had been ripped apart. The air felt heavy, almost dry like you were underground. Something was moving around you, circling you, watching you. The monstrous sounds it made created a haunting echo. You begged your body to respond, it was no use. The sounds were coming closer. No. NO! You bellowed out a scream.

"Y/N!!" Someone was shaking you, causing your eyes to snap open. Your body was shaking and there were tears in your eyes. You slowly realized that you had a nightmare. Alastor was in front of you, hands on top of your shoulders. His glowing eyes eyeing you with concern, yet his smile was still present. "A-Al? W-what's wrong? W-why are you in m-my room?" Struggling out a response, your eyes looked at Al in confusion. "My dear, I had heard your shrieks of terror and rushed over! It appeared you were having a nightmare! A rather horrible one at that!" He was still holding on to you, which gave you some comfort. "Oh, I'm so sorry if I disturbed your sleep." Taking in a few deep breaths, helped tremendously as you were able to talk properly and control the shaking. Shaking his head, Al had let go of your shoulders, and moved his hands to your cheeks. "Darling, there is no need for you to apologize! But, may I ask what were you dreaming about?" Massaging your cheeks like a cat, Al smiled down at you, softness in his eyes. Explaining it in full detail, Al realized that the film you had witness, was the main cause of the night terror. He had known that you were scared, but not to the point it would result in you kicking and screaming in your sleep. He needed to rectify this.

"Come along, my dear!" Your body left the sanctity of your bed, and ended up in Alastors arms. He was carrying you like a bride. "W-what Al?! Where are you taking me?!" Whispering at him, while your brain was trying to wrap around this situation. Cocking his head to the side, he gave you an optimistic smile. "To my room!" There was no time to refute back as the both of you had arrived at his door. Creaking loudly, the door to his room had opened by itself. His room was like something out of a story book. One side was the normal room decor, illuminated with candle light. The walls were plastered with Alastor's personal trinkets and stag heads. The other side was saturated in moss, tall pine trees looming above. Chirps of crickets could be heard and glowing fireflies were flying around. Eyes widening in amazement, you continued to gaze around the room, earning a laugh from Al. In the center of the room, was an enormous bed, covered in satin sheets and black pillows. "How... How were you able to do this?" You breathed out, as Al placed you on the bed. Raising an eyebrow, he smiled down at you, wagging his finger. "Ah ah ah! A magician never reveals his secrets, my dear!" A thought popped in your head: "Where was he going to sleep." Snapping his fingers, Alastor used his powers to snuff out the flames from the candles, leaving only the fireflies as a source of light. Realization hit you, causing you to jump off the bed, leaving Al staring at you in confusion. "Wait Al! Are you okay with this? Sharing a bed?" Alastor looked at you, head crooked to the side. "Why of course! Are you oppose to the idea? Haven't you had your share of sleepovers with the effeminate spider?" Well yes you had, but this situation was different. "I'm not opposed to it, but I don't want you to do something you aren't comfortable with." You told Alastor this, rubbing your arm with your hand.

He was still befuddled by your statement until he began to wrap his head around of what you were saying. How charming you were! Thinking of him and his aversion to physical contact. "Darling, There is no need to worry." His body moved to crawl under the covers, sitting on the bed and looking at you. His finger pointed towards you, beckoning for you to return back to the bed. Still hesitant about the whole situation and observing his body language, it came to your decision that he was really okay with it. Your feet carried you back over, and slowly made its way under the covers, plopping your head on the pillow. Al huffed, a little annoyed that you didn't follow his instructions. He grabbed your wrist, pulling you towards him. Your head was engulfed in his chest, feeling his chin, nuzzling it. "Comfortable, Y/N?" A warm breath whispered into your ear. His voice sent chills down your back, while also causing your heart to skip a beat. "Mmph" was your response, as your mouth was muffled against his chest. Hearing a hum from above, you felt Alastor nestle closer, hooking his leg over yours. The static emanating from him had quieted down and the thumping sound of his heart sounded much clearer. Extending out a yawn, your eyelids began droop while listening to the calming sound of Al's heartbeat. Soon, your eyelids had closed and you fell into a deep sleep.

Managing to stay awake, Al had watched you, making sure you were able to relax. He never in a million years thought he would be doing something like this. He was the radio demon, the most fearsome and all powerful overlord. Everyone trembled in fear from the sight of him, yet here he was now, cuddling you in his bed. He was getting soft, which displeased him greatly, yet he couldn't help but find it comforting as well. Your very-being was changing him, in both a good and bad way. Sighing, he pushed his thoughts away as he had a busy schedule tomorrow and needed to be well rested for his broadcast. Nuzzling closer, Alastor hugged you tighter. His glowing eyes dimmed and he had fallen asleep as well.

My players have recently found out that the weird red rat in their backpack at the beginning of the campaign that tried to eat all their food turned out to be a very incompetent, shapeshifted Spined Devil. Needless to say, a strange... Friendship? Alliance? has been born.

i wish there was more eldritch horror set in like. 1960s to 2000

the only examples ive seen of this is Emesis Blue, Demon - The Descent (due to the mood being sorta 1960s espionage), and, depending how you count it, CONTROL (due to the Oldest House having a technology limit)

and like!! there's so much material here

there's the cold war and the rise of surveillance

new technology coming at a ridiculous rate and the rise of the internet

the economy and the rise of corporations

this is such an untapped well of inspiration that im genuinely surprised i havent found any examples besides the ones up there, all of this is PERFECT for existential fiction

Karlach and Infernal War Machines (!Spoilers for Descent into Avernus!)

okay so, you know how in the Descent into Avernus book, there's an entire section on how players can obtain a war rig, and even customize it? after playing BG3, i wanted to brush up on everything these things could do again, and uh

wow. i'm thinking zariel might have gotten the better end of the deal, given that gortash seems to have walked away with just the understanding to make the steel watchers. don't get me wrong, the watchers are a terrifying concept and an absolute pain to deal with in combat, but compared to infernal war rigs? it could have been so much worse.

(the vehicles above are respectively labelled as "devil's ride," "demon grinder," "scavenger," and "tormentor.")

the four models in appendix b of the book provide the base templates for vehicles players can encounter, and potentially acquire. upgrades that players can obtain include, but are not limited to:

flamethrowers!

acid sprayers!

harpoons!

car platting that will steal your soul!

optional audio system that will give other drivers psychic damage

on one hand, i can see Karlach having complicated feelings towards the machines. they run on same engine tech, and at the end of the day, are functionally indistinguishable in terms of Zariels' crusade: a specialized weapon that runs on the souls of the damned. they're just the step before her, then onto the steel watchers. not to mention the warlords that typically use these things are just as bad as anything else raising hell in avernus.

on the other hand, if karlach has to wait for her heart surgery in literal hell, she should at least get a hell tank with a rocket launcher in the mean time. y'know, as a treat.

#bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #bg3 spoilers #descent into avernus #spoilers #bg3 karlach #karlach #karlach cliffgate #enver gortash #bg3 gortash #zariel #this post brought to you by the mental image of karlach doing the akira slide on a devils ride #also im terrified and morbidly curious as to what demon ichor would do to karlach's engine #can you imagine if karlach had to roll on a mishap table everytime her engine degraded and started to fail? not fun

New D&D Setting/Story Idea:

One month ago, the Blood War ended.

Both sides lost.

One thing that any D&D/Planescape/Descent Into Avernus player knows is that the forces of Good are reliant on the continuation of the Blood War to keep the Fiends in check. The devils and the demons, seemingly uncountable and seemingly unstoppable by anything but each other, have occupied each other in endless battles across the Lower Planes that kept them from seriously invading anywhere else.

One month ago, that changed. One month ago, every Demon and every Devil suddenly died.

Hell is empty. The Abyss itself is silent.

Something killed them both. And not even the Inevitables know what.

Battle scene of a private clients Tiefling Cleric in an Descent into Avernus campaign. I've been unhappy with how my art has looked recently so I used this piece as an opportunity to paint similar to the older Warhammer artwork with mood and compressed values. Digital 16x20"

Seif Al-Qamar // Moth to the Flame

"Anything worth doing is worth doing well. It is foolhardy to banish a possibility merely because it is not as likely."

__

My own PC for our d:td world <3 While not Unchained himself, hes instead a homebrew human splat in which the demon uses the human as a perfect Cover (without obliterating their existence and stepping into it themselves), and in return the human gets access to all their powers and supernatural tolerance >:)

He is very trans and spends his time rearing insects and protecting his gadgeteer boyfriend from getting smote by the God Machine
