i know she wasnt submitted/didnt make it to the polls, but since you wanted to talk about the characters, molly from epithet erased is also very autistic coded!
she's socially awkward and lacks a lot of self confidence prior to meeting giovanni, she's easily overwhelmed by loud sounds (+ canonically has misophonia!) and has sensory overload in the first episode, has a special interest in bears she can easily infodump about, and it's implied the stars in her hair have a stimmable texture! she also knits frequently which could be a stim
I loveee Molly and she definitely has autism in my opinion. the bear hoodie object attachment... the hyperempathy making it really hard for her to say no to people. the everything!!!! Epithet Erased in general is such a good and comfy show, the jokes and the drama literally never get old for me.
the only reason Percy was one of my guarantees for the bracket instead of Molly is... purely favourite character bias FHDFHSDF. there's something about characters that take on the "straight man" role in a cast of majority silly 'n quirky Epithet havers, but by trying to be serious when surrounded by the madness of the Museum arc and Redwood Run, Percy becomes equally as ridiculous as everyone else in the show. I like her!! Percy and Molly are pretty similar in that sense and I think it shows in their scenes together.
especially this scene, when autisms collide. I think about it all the time:

for the charater ask, impmon and ramsey murdoch
So far I’m only 12 episodes into tamers so I’m gonna base my opinion on how far I’ve gotten
Impmon
9/10 he’s sassy and an absolute icon,the only thing I dislike about him is that he was mean to the baby (Calumon)
Also his dynamic with Guilmon gives me these vibes:
Impmon,opening his jacket:hey kid,want some blades?
Guilmon:No!blades are for skating,ya dingus!
guilmon,skating in the snow:it’s kinda snowy!
...if you haven’t noticed,yes,I have been watching way too many danganronpa,ace attorney,and danganronpa another vines
The next two have to do with ships and so far I’m not a fan of shipping digimon
Why I like/dislike them:as I have said,he’s sassy,he was the first person in the anime to swear(according to the sub I watched) and I like how he interacts with the other digimon(especially Renamon and guilmon),i just hope he gets to shine like this in the rest of the anime
A random headcanon I have with this character: he sleeps in the same forest as guilmon and has been seen(albeit mistaken for a child) at least once
Something I wish would happen to this character:I haven’t watched that far into tamers so once I finish it,if I don’t forget I’ll edit this ask and put whatever I wish happened to him here
Ramsay murdoch
9/10 he’s really funny in the last few episodes (last one especially) and dis dynamic with percy and giovanni is really funny
Sorry for no shipping ones,it’s just that I don’t really ship anyone In EE
Why I like/dislike them:as I have said,he’s really fucking funny.
A random headcanon I have for them:if he ever met molly,his main priority would be teaching her how to swear so that she can do that to karens

So a lot of people wanted more of the Fateful Family AU, so alright, here's more info on it-
________________
- Percy had no idea Molly was her niece until she stopped by the toy store after the stuff at the museum and met her dad. She was very upset at Martin for cutting contact, but Martin just shrugged it off and ignored her basically
- Everyone knows "Gio" is actually Giovanni, except for Percy. Percy has said that he looked and sounded familiar, but every time that happened, everyone changed the subject. Sylvie is so close to just revealing who Giovanni is, but decided not to for Molly's sake
- Sylvie's bio mom was never really a great mom, and sorta was a tough love type of mom, and Sylvie ended up distancing from her a lot as he got older
- Molly's bedroom and Sylvie's office are right next to each other, and often Molly will go in to hang out with Sylvie while he works. Sylvie always enjoys the company
- Sylvie was really hesitant to accept Percy as his stepmom and still kinda is, but one thing that is nice between the two and that Percy is a great listener and will listen to Sylvie when he rambles
- Loralei and Martin do visit sometimes bc they realized that they sorta missed Molly, but Ramsey doesn't exactly let them stay long
- Ramsey is genuinely trying as a dad/uncle. It's been really difficult, especially with Sylvie since he is still upset at him, but he's trying. He ends up cooking for everyone in the morning usually, he listens when the kids are having problems, he tries his best to protect them when he can- He's really trying.
- Percy and Ramsey started working together on cases after Redwood Run, and Percy even had Ramsey stay in her apartment with her as a way to keep an eye on him. That's how they ended up getting even closer and getting to know each other more. By now since it's been about a year, Ramsey is mostly trusted now by the police.
- So, in this AU, it is one year into the future. So Molly is 13, Sylvie is 16, Giovanni is 20, and Percy, Zora, and Ramsey are their respectful ages
- Giovanni and Car Crash drive Molly to and from school everyday, and also pick her up to hang out with the other Banzai Blasters. Often Molly will drag Sylvie with her
- Trixie and Pheeny come over a lot to hang out with Molly, tho Pheeny does like hanging with with Sylvie bc sheep, and Trixie has a sorta father-daughter like friendship with Ramsey
- Ramsey is the main cook of the house due to Percy not actually knowing how to make proper meals, Sylvie only knows how to make ramen and tea, and Molly forgetting to eat.
- Percy loves eating the food Ramsey makes, but still in the morning eats the same thing: water and plain toast. Ramsey f**king hates it and is trying so hard to get her to try something different for breakfast. Percy always refuses.
- Ramsey loves doing drawings of everyone, and usually, everyone's birthday presents from him are drawings
- Despite Ramsey not really having a bounty on his head anymore, Zora still likes making his life miserable. She will straight up crash events they have, show up to dinner, scare the kids, etc. She just show up at the house and everyone is tired of her sh*t, but they can't exactly do anything bc she has such a terrifying epithet. Plus, she usually doesn't much beside mess with Percy and Ramsey and cause mayhem
- Molly is getting therapy, and Sylvie told her she's not allowed to refuse it- (He didn't actually force her, he just sorta explained to her that she seriously needed it, and she caved in-) He's not the one giving her therapy for the sake of her having privacy, but she is getting therapy. Percy and Giovanni also encouraged her to as well, which was sorta the thing that helped her finally decide to really go-
(Btw, if you have a specific thing you want me to make hcs for in this AU, feel free to ask for it! Also, I might make a few playlists for this AU if anyone is interested-)

the eam family teaching molly how to cook?
based on the very official EE character cooking skills list, Molly is exactly in the middle of the cooking scale, with a 5/10. this means that the list of people who could teach her to improve are as follows:
Giovanni (the best teacher, kind and patient, loves to teach her neat tricks and his own personal soup recipes and how long to cook different kinds of meat)
Indus (actually a pretty good cook after lots of practice. also a pretty good teacher actually? he explains things step-by-step because his own brain works too slow to do it any other way.)
...and that's it! on the other hand, the list of people Molly could teach to cook are as follows:
Mera (cannot be taught. refuses to let her pride down by admitting she can't do something and also rage-quits the second she messes up.)
Howie (refuses to be taught. if he was forced into it for Molly's birthday or something it'd be pretty hilarious actually. Howie being BAD at something??? everyone is grabbing their video cameras—)
Zora (she keeps trying to put chili pepper in everything. she does this to a batch of chocolate-chip cookies they're making and it actually turns out really good though?? NEW RECIPE, SPICY COOKIES)
Sylvie (can be taught if Molly phrases things in a positive way rather than reminding him of how she's more of a functional adult than he is! he also hates Gio being better than him in any way so he's partially fueled by spite. prefers vegetarian dishes.)
Ramsey (can be taught! actually loves an opportunity to bond with Molly. most of his lack of cooking skills is due to depression, so he especially loves when she teaches him easy/no-bake recipes that he can make even on bad days.)
Percy (must be persuaded to use ANYTHING that will enhance a dish, like butter, salt, sugar, etc. Molly's baby bear eyes do wonders for this.)

What kind of cookies would the epithet erased crew like?
I had a really good time brainstorming what I thought each of the main characters' favorite cookies would be. Thanks for the ask, anon! Hope y'all like my answers!
Molly: Thumbprint cookies, specifically the ones with strawberry jam filling.
Sylvie: Shortbread, half because he thinks it makes him seem more mature, half because one of his clients brought him a big tin of them for the holidays, and the receptionist must’ve seen him eating them at one point and told another one of his clients and now it’s A Thing.
Giovanni: Anginetti, although his minions think that M&M chocolate chip cookies are his favorites because Crusher gave a batch of them for his birthday once and he almost cried. Now he gets at least three batches of them on his birthday each year and has sworn a silent vow never to tell them they’re not his absolute favorites, even though he’s become pretty fond of them.
Mera: Macarons, although lavender orange shortbread will do in a pinch. She’d never admit it, but she still has rich girl tastes.
Indus: Double chocolate chunk, especially the ones with white chocolate chips as well. He doesn’t want any of the kinds of chocolate to feel left out!
Percy: This woman drinks butter water as a treat, so I refuse to believe that she had a favorite kind of cookie before interacting with what I’ve reluctantly dubbed the more normal half of the cast. That being said, at one point Ramsey bribes one of the guards at the prison he’s at to get her a tin of those Dansk butter cookies as a joke, and she’s too polite to turn them down so she brings them home and actually finds herself buying more when she runs out. It’s mostly because Molly starts stopping by her apartment pretty frequently after the whole museum thing, sometimes dragging a reluctant Sylvie with her, and Percy has found that there’s less awkward silence to fill if they’re eating cookies. She keeps a close eye on how many the two of them eat each time they come over, of course.
Ramsey: Has two favorite kinds - peanut butter chocolate chip and snickerdoodle. He strikes me as the kind of dude who would have a sweet tooth.
Howie: Molasses. A no-frills kind of cookie for a no-frills kind of man.
Zora: Cowboy cookies, almost entirely because of the name, although she does really like the coconut and pecans in them.

A comprehensive list of all my Ghost au's
this post will be talking about all of the ghost au's ive created or co-created including talking about ghost au's from old fandom's that i am no longer in. if you want to ask about any of my au's my ask box and dm's are always open this includes the hermitcraft au but keep it to a minimum please also if any of the creator's of the characters have said that they arent comfortable with what im making ( with proof ofc) i will edit or delete what is needed to fit in the boundaries also another thing this is a long post if you just want the art go under the cut! this post will discuss how each au works and basic plot stuff about them the fandoms in this post are hermitcraft, epithet erased, and dsmp okay first things first-
my hermitcraft au (what a pity)-
On my old tumblr account I made a few posts about it along with a fanfic which never got finished due to me not wanting to interact with the fandom any more due to personal reasons and also I'm not very good at writing imo but I think I'm ready to talk about it again. Just keep in mind i will most likely not talk about this fandom ever again at least not on here again for personal preference : -) it was about season 6 Grian since he was who i was hyperfixating on at the time, being haunted by the ghosts of Sam and Taurtis, both of them from the old roleplay series' Yandere High School, and Tokyo Soul, and taurtis from Grians old-ish smp Evo. Since I never finished the fanfiction nobody but me and close friends ever got to hear the full story i had planned but now you will i guess. It was mainly just grian stressing about Sam and Taurtis being ghosts and him worrying about being crazy, though he would still join the hippies during the area 77 war he would be significantly more stressed especially when finding out that Sam and Taurtis have been possessing his body during the night, he’s more worried about Sam though because of his track record back in the other servers( yhs and ts) it was going to be that Sam (although death isn't permanent) would go on a killing spree in Grians body which would cause the area 77 guys to put him in the facility to see what's going on with him, and it didn't get further then that. My favorite part of this au much like all of my au’s were the design elements i had for it which i'll have under the cut with the other designs. Now for a rundown of how the ghost physics work in this world, in typical ghost fashion Sam and Taurtis were not able to touch or move anything, but they were able to interact with Grian, him being the only person who could see/hear/or touch them. Their only super natural abilities is being able to possess Grian.
Okay! Time for my Epithet Erased au!: Unlike what a pity this one doesn't have a name or a fanfic to go with it as said before i'm not exactly a writer but i have talked about it a bit before on this account along with posting the designs and general concept but i'll go more in depth here! As said in my original post this au was a co-creation with my best friend and sibling @brocolibean so go check bun out ^^ Unlike ‘What a Pity’ it was more lighthearted and comedy centric because it dealt with a bit more and also the original show is a comedy. This au didn't include the character’s epithets so they are all humans. This will also include talking about house each ghost died so if your uncomfortable hearing about that you might want to skip the ghosts portion Just like the original post I'll separate the story summary into 3 parts with intervals in between to talk about the ghosts. First we have the Banzai boys part of the story. Giovanni, Spike, Dark Star, Crusher, Flame Thrower, Car Crash, and Ben all decide to move into a house together so they could all easily split the rent since its close to their collage, the house, which they get for cheap, is aa very old house with sketchy history. But it's a huge house for cheap so they don't complain they encounter the ghosts very early on living in the house and they swear to figure out how they died so they can get their memory back! The ghosts, Molly, Sylvie, Trixie, and Pheonica have no memory! All they know is that there are ghosts! They are connected to the property of this house but if you where to get something- like perhaps a stone from the property the ghost is still technically attached to it therefore the ghost can go with you anywhere Speaking of- -Phoenicia Fleecity is one of the last ghosts to show herself, her body is found in the overgrown garden flowers growing over her skeleton, she is from the victorian era making her the oldest out of the ghosts though he death is the most mysterious -Molly Blindeff is the first ghost the group meets her decomposed body is found buried in the floorboards of the living room, found when gio decided that the house needed renovation and taking matters into his own hands, she died via blunt force trauma i will not be going into detail here because i'm still thinking of doing something with this au she died in the early 2000’s -Sylvester Ashling is the second ghost to show himself though he didn't want to, his body was found in the bottom of the pond in the backyard of the house in the garden. His body while it was decomposing and falling apart was still intact, bloated from drowning. Again i wont go into detail but this wasn't an accident time of death is unknown -Trixie Roughhouse is the third person to show themselves to the Banzai Blasters she is found in the bushes in the backyard her face disfigured from some sort of explosion unlike the others it seems like it was purely an accident, like sylvie their time of death is unknown Mera Salamin is the collages part time librarian nicknamed “the library witch” she started seeing her ghost after obtaining a neck bow with a blue pendant from a pawnshop she got it cause it was pretty and didn't expect a himbo to come along with it -Indus Tarbella is a ghost who is attached to the pendant and bow Mera wear it used to be his own until he was decapitated wearing it through he was properly buried he has no troublesome memories about what happened even after seeing his body he’s just happy to be with Mera Percival King is a security guard at the college and one of the best at that, she wields a story she got from a pawn shop as its her preferred weapon she takes her job very seriously -Ramsey and Zora both died by the same sword while fighting neither remember who wielded the sword, even after death they hate each other and hate being bound together even more Everyone ends up meeting and finding out they all have ghost hijinks ensue. The way ghosts work in this world is a bit strange I'll admit but it's one of my favorites. The ghosts can interact with the human world(menma style) but
they can only talk to the others who can see them (the Banzai Blasters, mera and percy) and the ghosts can interact with each other ghosts in this au attach themselves to an item or property that has someway to do with their death, the kids in the property, Indus it's the bow, and the sword duo is well, the sword Percy carries. As alluded to from before Gio and the rest of the boys end up carrying a bit of the property with them in the form of friendship bracelets four for each of them which makes 28 different bracelets so the kids can decide who to follow around for the day.i talked about how percy and Mera’s items work enough but i would like to mention that Indus does most of the heavy lifting around the library but becaus enoone else can see indus they assume she’s magical, the glowing pendant doesn't help.
The last two au’s i want to talk about are both dream smp au’s
though i've never talked about them online until now, again thanks to @brocolibean for letting me brain vomit my way through these au’s and helping me out with things i love them please check him out I'll be honest i'm so scared of this fandom so i'm afraid to talk about my au’s please be nice to me Also this is all roleplay and fiction!<3 The first one i'll talking about is the dsmp ghost hunters au Sam runs a company where groups of people hunt ghosts for money! Those groups being Phil, Technoblade, Wilbur,Tommy, Tubbo, and Ranboo Dream, George, Sapnap, Quackity, Karl Bad, ant, Skeppy, and Puffy There’s most likely more but there the only people i can think of at this moment The only canonical ghost being Schlatt This au doesn't have a proper story perse it's more about gags and stuff about the different character fighting over ghosts for money but the story stuff i do have- Sbi family dynamic is real here you can rejoice, Phil adopts Tubbo after his dad (Schlatt) kicks the bucket and fucking dies , Tubbo befriend’s Ranboo some mysterious teen who just desperately needs a job so he- and the rest of the Minecraft family help him get one- though they find out Ranboo isnt as human as he was made out to be and he finds out he’s this worlds version of angels called ender’s and he’s there to protect Tubbo and Tommy which explains why the more violent ghosts start being less violent at the arrival of Ranboo joining their team. Bad isn't human either being a demon his entire group know’s plus quackity. Quackity found out but squirting him with holy water through a water gun but don't worry he promised not to tell anyone; -) Bad and Ranboo know about each other because they see each other as their true forms The minecraft fam found out about Schlatt being a ghost through Tommy- despite Tubbo telling him not to- telling them from calling up and paying for them to investigate their own house saying “technically i didn't tell them” they ended up not getting rid of Schlatt though I'm not going to talk about how the ghosts here work because it's not super important to the plot
The second au is another ghost au where the main characters are ghosts themselves,
like the others its mainly lighthearted and comedic with dark attributes The plot surrounds the sbi family moving into a new house and Tommy finding out it's being haunted by two ghost’s. Those ghosts being Tubbo and Ranboo This au isn't fully figured out but I know that he found out he was haunted by sending a selfie to someone(possibly Drista and Purpled? Since there are only other minors who were part of the dsmp lore? But ultimately idk) and them being like “yo i didn't know you had friends” and him being like “?????” Tubbo died from a boiler exploding and Ranboo died from drowning (which are apparently my two favorite deaths) this also doesn't have an official story? It was just an excuse to make ghost designs with a bit of a story without the commitment As said before it's a sbi au but also a Dadschlatt au cuz I like Dadschlatt au’s. The main story bits i have are background stuff for Tubbo and Ranboo which ill elaborate now The house was originally meant to be just a summer home because it had a large lake in the backyard Ranboo’s family would go there often but that doesn't mean his family liked him very much because of his heterochromia, Vitiligo, and his height his family thought he was strayed from god and drowned him Tubbo died during sleep while Schlatt wasn't home either out drinking or just at work he came home to the house being partially blown up and his son nowhere to be seen he calls Puffy out of fear and she calls the cops. He moves away and most likely starts drinking a bit more. The house gets rebuilt and now the sbi live there hijinks ensue! The ghosts in this au work in a simpler manor only Tommy can see them unless a photo is taken but even then they are blurred, they can float and go through walls and their ability to touch things is limited Ranboo’s memory is worse then Tubbo’s but Tubbo’s isn’t much better.
below the cut will be designs and stuff be safe pal's- there will be minor/cartoony blood-
rip me exposing my old art on this account also i'm ripping these from my fucking amino account that i don't use but still have the password too

5. Can I request Percy's POV for the opening scene in Chapter 2 of Homeward, where Ramsey has dinner with Percy and Molly? Or would doing so spoil the dramatic effect of later on? The scene is so well-written I feel the other POV isn't needed to understand what's going on, but it would be fun to read nonetheless. :)
Good evening. A fantastic request! I am a very slow writer, but here is the scene in full in Percy's POV. You will notice it is nearly twice as long due to the wordy and rambling nature of Percy's existence (and hence, one of the reasons Homeward is from Ramsey's point of view) and also that it is very much unedited. It was fun to explore the conversation Percy has on the phone with her mother (during which I believe you will cringe several times at both of their lack of tact and general ineptness. ) It is sort of not canon as the phone call lasts a little bit longer than it does in the actual story, but I love Liz and Arthur too much to not have fun with them when I can. Story: Homeward Word Count: 4,045
Ramsey, Percy had noticed, was over for dinner more often recently. She did not mind this. Quite the opposite. She often struggled with portion sizes when cooking now that she had to cook for more than one person (somehow, simply doubling the amount she used to make never worked out like it mathematically should have) and there was always enough to feed him. He also made for good company for Molly, who Percy suspected, despite how quiet she could be around others, loved having him over for the noise and excitement he brought to the usually quiet apartment. It was important for her to have good adult role models, and the imperfect Ramsey who was trying to make up for his difficult past was, in her opinion, a much better fit than the rambunctious Giovanni, whose moral code was vague at best and dangerous at worst. Also, admittedly, she simply liked him around, which was probably reason enough. So, no, she most certainly didn’t mind that he came over more often and would stay for dinner. It was something friends did, she was sure. Well, she was almost sure.
Today, he especially had a good reason to come over. Molly’s bedroom had been irking her lately. Percy was perfectly capable of painting walls– in fact, she was excellent at painting walls– but she was not an artist, and it was a strict difference. Although she could quite easily and quite neatly paint a green coat, or even perhaps some sort of dual coloured coat, given the proper masking tape, she could not paint bears. Molly’s old bedroom, she had noticed the only time she’d been in it, had bears on the wall. Teddy bears, specifically. And given that Molly was nearing adolescence, Percy wanted to take full advantage of the age where she would still enjoy such frivolous things and recreate them. Ramsey was also very idle, she found. When he was not working, he was drawing or sleeping from what she could gather (the latter much more so than the former) and it seemed to be putting a ‘dampener’ on his mood. Paying him to paint Molly’s bedroom (with her assistance, of course) seemed like a good way to kill two birds with one stone. Not that she would ever hurt a bird, of course. Well, not unless it was a dangerous individual that had to be taken care of. Perhaps she wouldn’t think about it anymore.
The spaghetti was a little salty. She hoped neither of them minded. It sort of reminded her of buttered noodles, which she mostly knew as a childhood treat (emphasis on treat, they were certainly not good for her) and as such she didn’t dislike the taste, but still. “Thanks again for painting my room, Mr Murdoch.” As Percy scrutinized her plate, Molly had taken to thanking Ramsey for his work. She was a very polite young girl. Very admirable. It was incredible how well-raised she was, all things considered, but Percy thought that simply spoke to how wonderful Molly was, and was not reflective of anything her father did for her.
Ramsey waved her gratitude off humbly. “Eh, it wasn’t nothing. S’nice to get out of the old apartment anyway.”
Percy chose to ignore his double negative. It was confusing, but he did it a lot and she’d managed to get used to it. She did not understand why he found it difficult to accept thanks, however. She quickly patted her mouth with her napkin (dinner etiquette was very important) so she could show her shared appreciation. “Whether it was nothing or not, we appreciate your effort.” Of course, she knew it probably was nothing to him. After all, he was an artist of very high caliber. But that didn’t change the fact he had put time and energy into doing it.
Instead of accepting her thanks, once more Ramsey chose to deflect, pointing his fork at her. “You’re just sayin’ that ‘cause you couldn’t do it yourself.” Before Percy could debate this, however, Ramsey decided to go for two blows. He leaned in towards Molly, “Percy can’t draw for snacks,” and Molly found this funny enough. Percy watched them with interest, and then they turned and watched her with interest. Ah. Right. She was supposed to respond to that with something equally clever yet jocund, as was expected. “It’s true, I am no artist. However, I am also not a con-artist.” She didn’t quite understand what was so funny about two people mocking each other repeatedly, but Molly seemed to find it humorous and it was all very lighthearted so she decidedly went along with it (though she found her own wit was much better suited for one-line statements than battles of insults.)
Molly gasped and covered her mouth. Presumably, this was jokingly. Percy doubted what she said was all that bad. “She’s got you there, Mr Murdoch. Are you just gonna take that?”
Ramsey seemed pleased with himself. “Oh, was that supposed to be a burn?” He took a moment to think, “Heh, well, I may be a criminal, but at least I’m not a nerd.” Molly made noises with her mouth that Percy couldn’t quite decipher as she frowned. She never quite understood the word as an insult, after all, “There is nothing laughable about being well-educated.”
Ramsey apparently took her defensive statement as his victory. “Oh, I see,” he said casually, “So you can give it, but ya can’t take it, huh?”
“I can take you back to prison, Ramsey,” Percy blurted out. Oh. She had not even thought about it before saying it. Ramsey seemed equally surprised, coughing on the spaghetti in his mouth as Molly laughed. Admittedly, it felt good to be in on the joke. She smiled at him to clarify no ill will and he looked bashfully back down at his plate. She took it that this meant she had won, for once. Excellent.
Suddenly, Ramsey recovered from his defeat and looked up. “You excited to go to Marchpoint for Christmas, Molly?”
Molly beamed. “Sure! Marchpoint is really pretty, and Percy’s parents are really nice.” It was reassuring to know that Molly truly did enjoy visiting them– her parents had… overwhelming and very different reactions to the prospect of her adopting a child, and for a little bit Percy was very worried that they would make Molly uncomfortable, or perhaps regardless Molly simply wouldn’t like them. Alas, it worked out the complete opposite. Percy hesitated to use the word ‘obsessed’, but her parents were most certainly passionate in their approach to Molly in a way she wasn’t expecting. Well, her father she should have expected, but her mother? It really did go to show how the people you love can always surprise you.
Ramsey, meanwhile, seemed content to speculate about her hometown’s nature. “Heh, sounds like one a those little fancy holiday towns.” Admittedly, he was not entirely wrong. He had good sense about those kinds of things, Percy supposed. “Marchpoint,” he repeated, scratching his goatee. Very idly, Percy wondered what it felt like.
“It’s pretty fancy! Percy’s parents live in one of those big country homes with a porch and huge backyard, and all the little town shops look like they’re from the sixties. It’s so much quieter than the city.” She could not grow a beard herself, but she remembered how her father’s felt whenever he shaved it. Textured, bristly. Ramsey’s face fell. “What’d I do? I got something on me?” He looked down at his shirt to check. Hm. Apparently, she had been staring. And also not listening, as she couldn’t seem to remember what it was they had been talking about. She decidedly corrected both of those ‘faux pas’s.
“My apologies. I was…” She did not want him to feel self-conscious, “... lost in thought. What were we speaking about?”
Ramsey smiled at her cheekily. “Talkin’ about your fancy pants hometown, Sparky.”
“Ah, yes.” How could she have forgotten? “Marchpoint certainly has its charms. However, I prefer to be in the city where I am needed.” She frowned, thinking about just how useless she’d be somewhere so quiet. “Indeed, such a sleepy town has no need for my unforgiving sense of justice.”
Molly lifted some spaghetti in her fork. “It’s nice for the holidays though!”
“Justice doesn’t take holidays,” Percy reminded her seriously.
“Alright, Judge Judy, let’s not bring work to the table,” Ramsey scolded her. Percy wasn’t quite sure who Judge Judy was, but she had to admit he was right. She went back to eating her spaghetti.
Molly looked at him. “What’re you doing for the holidays, Mr Murdoch?”
Ramsey, from what Percy could tell, was not expecting to be asked this question. Percy realized she wasn’t sure what he was doing herself. “Me? Uh, nothin’, kid.” Had she never asked him? Ah. Shoot. She hadn’t. She’d try to remember to do that next year. “My family’s too far away and small to bother visiting every year. I like to keep it to myself.” Percy couldn’t pretend she wouldn’t do the same if Marchpoint was further away, but it surprised her that Ramsey, given his sensitive nature, would feel similarly.
“How practical!”
Molly did not seem as pleased with this as she was. “That’s sad, Mr Murdoch. Don’t you want to be around people during the holidays?”
Hm. Molly offered an interesting point. Ramsey was prone to bouts of loneliness. She watched him carefully as he attempted to shrug off the question. “Nah, I’m good. Not too into heavily commercialised stuff. Just another day off to me.” Percy was always the best with conversations but she was certainly familiar with interrogations and she liked to think she knew a lie when she saw one. Such a lackadaisy approach to such an important time seemed so unlike him.
“While I usually like to respect the wishes of others, I would not like to think of you spending this time alone, Ramsey. The holidays are a chance to reconnect and spend time with the people you love and care about. They are not, as you say, just ‘another day off.’”
Ramsey frowned at her, but Molly spoke first. “You should come with us to Marchpoint! I’m sure no one would mind.” Hm. Huh. Percy blinked. And then she blinked again, because for some reason the first blink hadn’t cleared her mind. She could feel her eyebrows furrowing as her brain went over the statement. Ramsey. At her family home. Staying with them. For the holidays. In Marchpoint. With her parents. She couldn’t even picture it. Molly’s quiet voice broke her out of her stupor. “Uhm, would that be okay, Percy?”
Percy gave blinking one last try to see if it would work. She’d have to give an answer– that was how questions worked. One person asks a question and the other answers, unless the question is rhetorical or sarcastic, something that was clarified by tone indicators. Molly’s question was neither, so she had to answer it. Would it be okay? Well, she’d have to ask her mother. Yes. That was the answer. She’d have to ask. “I’d have to call Mother,” she said, and then quickly to reassure them both, “But I don’t see why not.” Smile. Yes. That was a good idea– smiling made people more comfortable. She was nailing this.
Ramsey seemed upset. She was not nailing this. “Look, I don’t wanna be burdenin’ a buncha strangers all out of pity–” Well, that was simply ridiculous. “Ramsey,” she interrupted him, “would you like to come?” She waited expectantly.
He stared back at her. “I guess. I mean, if the food’s free.” A jest, she assumed, based on the wink. “But I don’t wanna come if I’m just gonna be in the way is all.” Hm. Well, she wouldn’t force him if he believed he would be out of place.
“I understand, Mr Murdoch,” Molly reassured him quietly, “I just thought it’d be nice to have another person I’m really comfortable around going to meet so many new people… But if you don’t want to, it’s okay.” She smiled at him. Hm. Percy hadn’t even thought about that. Molly was quite shy, and while her family wasn’t large by any means, they were quite loud, even for Percy sometimes.
Ramsey put both of his hands up as though he was showing he had no weapons. “Alright, alright! I’ll come if I’m able, just stop lookin’ at me with those big ole puppy dog eyes. Geez, I can’t stand it.” Oh, that was good. Ack, but it was so soon– she’d call her mother now, just in case. Her mother wasn’t fond of late changes to plans. Percy pulled her phone out of her pocket. If only they’d come up with this last week.
“Excuse me,” she said as she stood up, not wishing to neglect her table manners. The phone stopped ringing and her mother’s voice replaced the sound.
“Hello?”
“Hello, mother.” Percy looked over to the door to the hall. Perhaps this was a conversation best had in private.
“Hello, Percival.” Her mother paused. “Lovely evening.”
As Percy made her way to the hall she glanced out the window. The sky was clear. “Why, yes, it is a lovely evening.” There was a small pause as Percy closed the door behind her and walked to her bedroom. She didn’t particularly like phone calls. Well, she didn’t hate them, but she most certainly found them more difficult than a simple face-to-face conversation or a quick text.
“Why are you calling during dinner?” her mother asked gruffy.
Oh, had she been waiting for her to speak? See, if they had been face-to-face, that would have been more obvious. “Ah, yes. About Molly and I staying over–”
“What, you’re not coming anymore?”
Percy glanced at the phone in surprise. “What?”
“Is that Percy? Is she not coming?” she heard her father say in the background. Oh, dear.
“Arthur, I’m on the phone,” her mother snapped at him.
Her father did not seem to notice. “If it’s Percy, tell her I said hello, and that I’d be very disappointed if she and Molly weren’t coming up!” “Yeah, yeah.” There was a sigh. “He says hello. And that you better be coming up. ”
Percy nodded as though they could see her. “We’re still coming.” “They’re still coming, Arthur,” It sounded as though her mother had covered the mic, and then like she had taken her hand off of it again. “Okay, so then, what are you calling for?”
Percy idly placed her hand on the cool frame of her bed. “It’s just, well, I have this friend–” “You do?” She sounded surprised. Had Percy never mentioned Ramsey to her before?
“Yes.” No, she hadn’t, she realised. Odd.
“Alright, well, what about this friend?”
“He–”
“He doesn’t need money, does he?”
“What? Uhm, no, mother. He doesn’t need…” Percy paused, “Well, I don’t believe he needs money. I suppose he could.” It was certainly possible. Ramsey had obviously gotten in with bad crowds before and old habits did not die easy. It was entirely in the realm of plausibility that he had gone out and gotten into money trouble– or, alternatively, an old mistake had come back to haunt him despite his current good nature.
“Well, did he ask you for money?”
“Hm?” She’d almost forgotten she was on the phone. “Oh, no. No, he didn’t.”
“Good. None of your business then.” Ah, her mother was correct. It was rude of her to speculate like that.
“Yes, I suppose you’re right.”
“... Percival.”
“Yes?”
“Why are you calling me.”
“Oh, right.” She almost forgot what she’d called about. Her mother had that effect on people. “Yes. Well, this friend–” “Oh! Ask her if it’s Ramsey.” Ah. Her father again.
Her mother sounded mostly confused, and a little irritated. “Who?”
“Ramsey! Her friend, is it Ramsey?” Percy found herself rubbing the frame. Smooth, glossy wood. It felt nice.
“For god’s sake– Percival, your father wants to know if it’s... Ramsey.”
“Ah, tell him yes, it is.” “It is.” The mic muffled again. “Oh! Is he alright?” “Arthur, getting this conversation to end is like trying to get blood out of a rock and you’re making it harder–” “Alright, alright! Don’t raise your voice, Liz.” Her mother audibly groaned. “Did you at least tell her I said hello?” “I already told her! Just be quiet and eat your roast beef, you big lug.” A pause. “Are you still there Percival?” “Yes.”
“Alright. Tell you what, because my dinner is getting cold and this phone call is driving me to the edge. You have three sentences to tell me what’s wrong or I’m hanging up. Go.”
“Oh, er. Well–” “That was one. You have two now.”
Shoot. Percy took a moment to think about the clearest and most direct two sentences possible. “My friend Ramsey has nowhere to go for the holidays,” she said slowly, “Could he stay with us?”
“Oh, is that it?” Percy wasn’t the best judge of tone but her mother almost sounded disappointed. There was another pause, slightly longer than any of the ones before, as though she was taking this information in. “Hm,” she said finally, “He from the streets?” Percy thought of Ramsey’s little apartment. “No.” “He dangerous? Violent? Crazy?” “No.” Ramsey wasn’t any of those things even when he was a criminal. She’d begin to make her way back to the kitchen, given that the conversation was nearing it’s close.
“Drat. Well, whatever. Sure, sure. He can come.”
Percy opened the door to the hall and closed it behind her. “Thank you,” she said quickly.
“Yeah, yeah, well. I’m not a fiend, Percival. Besides, house won’t be full anyway. You know your uncle isn’t coming up this year, don’t you?” She walked into the kitchen, where Ramsey and Molly still sat at the table.
“Yes. I know.”
“Funny, isn’t it? Son finally decides to come home and then it’s all about staying local after coming up the twenty-five years– s’not like we don’t have room for his brat either. That uncle of yours is a strange man.”
“Indeed.”
“Anyway. Get lost so I can eat.” There was a slight pause. “Love ya.” Percy smiled pleasantly. “Goodbye.”
The phone clicked. Her mother had hung up. She glanced up to her company (she hadn’t realized it, but apparently she had been staring at the floor the whole time) and they stared back at her eagerly.
Molly leaned forward. “What’d she say?” Their plates were empty– they must’ve finished eating.
Percy hummed, trying to replay the conversation. “Well, first she said ‘Hello.’ Then, ‘It’s a lovely evening.’ Then, ‘Why are you calling during dinner?’ Then–”
“I think she meant, what’s the verdict, chief?” Ramsey said quickly. He looked very pink. “Er, am I coming or going?”
Ah, there he went again with his nonsensical word choice. Percy rubbed her chin. “Both options you’ve given me suggest you are allowed. Which do I pick if you’re not?”
Molly groaned. “Percy...”
“My apologies.” Perhaps she was poking too much fun. “You may come, Ramsey.” He seemed appropriately relieved.
“Yes!” Molly exclaimed, and then, in a fit of excitement that was completely unexpected, jumped up to embrace her. Percy could not hide her surprise as her small arms squeezed her. Still, she smiled, wrapping one arm around her ward and using the other to give her a small pat on the head. “Thanks Percy.” The sound rippled through her shirt. It felt very nice.
“Of course.” Hm. What time was it? Molly always did her homework at eight. Percy glanced at the clock on the wall. “Do you have homework to do?”
“Ack!” Molly suddenly let go and raced to her room. Percy watched her go. She was a very kind child. It was lovely how much she cared for Ramsey. It only just occurred to her that perhaps Molly was not entirely selfish in her want for him to be there. Percy just felt privileged to know her, sometimes. It felt silly, given Molly’s age, but it was true.
Speaking of Ramsey, he stood up from the table and Percy looked over to him. “Yeah, uh, thanks, Perc’,” he said softly, “You really didn’t have to.”
Percy smiled at him. He was very sweet for a reformed criminal. She could appreciate that this was probably very difficult for him. Ah, she should reassure him of his use. “I think your presence will be good for her. It can be quite overwhelming meeting new people, especially for children.”
He simply shrugged. “Eh, maybe.” He glanced towards the door to the hall and back at her. “I guess I’d better get going.”
It was always a shame to see him go, but he had his own business to get to. Expecting him to stay forever would be selfish and immature, and Percy was neither of these things when she could fight it. “Of course. Thank you for joining us, Ramsey. It’s always a pleasure.” She started collecting the plates from dinner. She’d wash them now. She didn’t like leaving dishes in the sink.
Ramsey did not leave. Instead, he took the plates from her hands and grinned at her. “Heh, yeah, well, that’s me. I’m pretty great company,” he said as he brought them to the sink. He smirked then, putting a finger to his cheek. “And I’m pretty too.”
While he did that, she made her way to the drawer to get her rubber gloves. Her aunt always said washing dishes without them made your hands dry, though, if Percy were being honest, she never really thought about why she wore them. Habit.
“Very,” she said to entertain him. “Thank you very much for your assistance.”
“Aw, you think I’m pretty?” Percy blinked and looked over at him. He wiggled his eyebrows (provocatively?) Hm.
She looked away, clearing her throat and pulling on her gloves. “How is the apartment treating you, Ramsey?” She turned the tap to run the warm water. As Ramsey spoke, she grabbed the washing up liquid.
He was leaning against the counter. “Fine. Kinda small.” He shrugged at her. “I like the TV. Free cable.”
Percy smiled, procuring a sponge from a dish beside the sink. “I’m glad it’s to your liking. Perhaps if you keep working hard, you will be able to move somewhere bigger.” She started cleaning the dishes. Pasta luckily did not stain, and it did not take long to clean three plates. When she got to the last one, she glanced over at him again. He was… still not leaving. How did she approach that? On one hand, she didn’t want him to feel like he had to leave, because he did not. On the other, she couldn’t simply say nothing, either. After all, he’d said he was leaving. Perhaps he wanted to talk to her about something? She rinsed the plate off and stuck it in the drying rack with the others. Ramsey glanced at her and she cleared her throat. “Well,” she started, “There is no point prolonging the inevitable.”
He pushed off the counter. “Yeah. Thanks again for dinner, and, uh,” he coughed, “Bringing me along for the holidays.” Percy smiled at him.
“Goodbye, Ramsey. Until tomorrow.” She turned back to the sink and began taking off her gloves, but he didn’t leave. Should she say something? Maybe he truly wasn’t alright. “Are you not leaving?” Ah, now that she said it, perhaps that was a little blunt.
“Yeah, yeah, sorry. I was just, uh..." he looked at her desperately but she did not know what to say. "Right, uh, seeya.” He gave her a little wave and she returned it, but as he left Percy couldn’t help but feel a little guilty for her lacking approach. She should’ve asked if he was okay, maybe even if he wanted to stay a little longer, talk about something. She knew he didn’t particularly like being alone– perhaps going home was hard for him? Ah. Friendship was difficult and unfamiliar territory. She knew he wasn’t doing as well as he could’ve been, but she didn’t want to freak him out by pushing him too hard.
Well. One thing at a time.

Epithet Erased but ballet au 🩰
Basically the story is that everyone from the epithet erased cast attends the same prestigious ballet school called Sweet Jazz Opera and Ballet School, and antics ensue
Molly and Giovanni are the school’s bread winners because while both of them are talented in their own unique ways, their stage chemistry is undeniable, which makes sense since they’re best friends!
Sylvie is a solo dancer and has been doing ballet the longest out of everyone. He’s a child prodigy and an excellent performer, however he’s not very sociable with those from his group :( he’s only social when they need him to play the piano for practice because he’s one of the only performers there that knows how.
However when Sylvie’s not there or just busy, Mera’s the one playing piano for everyone. She originally auditioned for the school to be a dancer, but because of her fragile state they accepted her mainly because of her piano-playing skills. However, she also helps performers get ready with things like makeup, costumes, etc.
Indus is an instructor! He’s usually everyone’s favorite since he’s so fun and he works with all ages. He actually didn’t apply to the school intentionally, he was just looking for a job and when someone pulled him in because they thought he was applying to be a ballet instructor, he just went along with it. He’s really passionate about ballet now though, he loves the grace that comes out of it.
Percy is also an instructor! She’s the head instructor of the juniors which includes Molly, Trixie, Pheenie, etc (Sylvie drops by sometimes as well.) Percy did ballet when she was little and although she had to quit after a few years, she decided to get back into it in her adulthood because she missed the sport and needed a job that would keep her on her feet.
Ramsey is an ex-performer/coach for the older kids which includes Giovanni, the banzai blasters, Sylvie since he’s just that good and others. He helps everyone score major league auditions, scholarships and more. He also hosts any local or big performances their school does!
Last but not least is Zora! She’s the instructor for the older kids and is very scary :) hence why everyone listens to her. She decided to do ballet because she never got to do it as a kid, but she admires the passion that comes out of it (plus she likes bossing people around-)
Okay STORY TIME
The way Giovanni and Molly became such a great duo was because of this: When Molly was 7 she and her dad were supposed to be partaking in a daddy-daughter duet competition but unfortunateley, he didn’t show up until they were supposed to be on in 5 minutes... and he didn’t remember a bit of the choreography. Luckily, since Giovanni knew the choreography from years prior and he’d seen Molly around the school every now and then, he figured she seemed sweet and deserved to have a partner so he offered to stand in for him. Molly was really confused, but took his help anyway. They ended up winning the competition and have been an unstoppable duo ever since :D
Sylvie and Molly are good friends in this universe, though it wasn’t always like this. Originally, Sylvie was jealous of all the attention Molly was getting and thought that she didn’t deserve it because he assumed that Giovanni was doing most of the choreography, not her. He decided to just ignore his feelings for the sake of not starting drama- until one day, the juniors had to pair up in partners for an upcoming recital and since Phoenica was absent and there was an odd number of people, Molly asked if he could pair up with her. She went out of her way to mention that he was really talented and probably the best junior dancer in the school (even though Sylvie wanted to insist that he wasn’t a junior... anymore..) Sylvie agreed. For the first time, he was able to witness Molly’s solo skills in action and he realized he underestimated her incredibly. Since then, Sylvie stopped seeing her as competition and would even ask to be her dance partner later on, whenever she needed one.
There has definitely been dramatic moments, especially during competitions. There was this one instance where a mother and daughter had hogged Molly’s dresser at a different studio that had already been reserved for her so she could get ready before her performance... Molly and Giovanni showed up to the studio that day very confused, and Giovanni politely asked the mother if there had been a miscommunication. The mother replied that no, there hadn’t been, and that the mirrors at this particular studio were “first come first serve.” Giovanni was ready to throw down until Mera stepped in with the biggest smile on her face saying “Excuse me miss, but I believe there’s been a mistake. I’m head of the props for my students and this dresser has already been reserved for this little girl right here,” she says as she gestures toward Molly, “so I’m going to have to ask you to relocate your belongings please.” The mother scrunched her eyebrows and replied back snappily with “Well where’s her shit, then? Because it’s definitely not on this dr-“ Before she could even finish her sentence, Mera casually sweeped all of their belongings on the floor and tipped the dresser chair only slightly before the daughter fell off of it. The mother stormed off with her daughter in a huff to complain, while Giovanni and Molly stood there struck. Mera shrugged and began to walk off when Molly quickly wrapped her in a hug, before leaving to get ready for her big performance.

Ramsey and Molly headcanons (Epithet Erased)
In case you guys couldn’t tell, I’m absolutely lost in that Epithet Erased sauce, especially if its Ramsey Murdoch flavored. I love me some Gross Rat Man, and I’m super interested in the dynamic he and Molly would have, if/when they meet. 
Read: I want Ramsey Murdad. 
(Please Mr. Jello, pretty please I need it like oxygen)
So anyway, until I get my precious canon, I’ll have to rely on these. Enjoy!
---
- Ramsey first meets Molly when Giovanni introduces her to him as one of his minions, and at first Ramsey thinks she’s his babysitting job or little cousin or something. Giovanni is the most offended. 
- Giovanni has “Bear Trap” give Ramsey her best “rawr” to show him how fierce she is. This only succeeds in getting Ramsey to immediately adopt this adorable bear child. 
-  Molly is the only one that doesn’t call Ramsey gross or ugly or get weirded out by his eye, because she’s worked in retail in for so long that she’s seen way, way worse. It actually catches him off guard when she barely reacts to his appearance. 
- Ramsey is pretty impressed by her business savvy (retail is, after all, just a legit long con), and offers her some...less than respectable advice on how to make more money.
- Tax evasion. He teaches her tax evasion.
- Ramsey is great at small magic tricks, so when Molly shows some reluctance at the thought of going to jail for tax evasion, he teaches her those instead. She is absolutely delighted, even by the ones that involve removing his eye. 
- He calls her by all sorts of affectionate nicknames (i.e.: sweetie, honey, sugar, kiddo, etc.), and gives amazing hugs. Like, picks-her-up-off-her-feet-and-squishes-her hugs. 
- Molly sees Ramsey doodling and starts watching him. He normally hates it when people watch him draw, but he realizes he doesn’t mind because she’s obviously not trying to twist her head and watch over his shoulder to see what he’s drawing. She just wants to watch him do it. He draws a bear for her when she asks. 
- “Remember what I told you about other kids giving you a hard time?
“That they’re just jealous that I’m smarter than them.”
“That’s right. And if they still mess with you, what did I tell you to say?”
“My uncle Ramsey can have you eliminated with one phone call.”
- Percy tells Molly that it’s time for bed, and Molly yells back “COME BACK WITH A WARRANT”. Percy hears Ramsey cackling from two rooms away and sheds a tear for Molly’s besmirched childhood innocence.

Yknow that found family trope?
Ever since I saw Ramsey and Giovanni interact, I just had dad vibes from Ramsey, so I came up with this: Epithet Erased, but they consider each other as family:
Ramsey sees Giovanni and just adopts him on spot. That's it. He's his son now.
Molly is basically everybody's little sister (Especially Giovanni's) who is done with life and just seeks comfort and a break
Casual very young uncle therapist Sylvie, reblog if you agree
Protective mother hen Percy, cause heck yes she would look after all of them
Mera and Indus, the two who barely ever show up at family meetings, but when they do, it's time for you to wonder how the hell they keep in touch with such opposite energies
Little bitch of the family, Zora, who is the annoying adult cousin
And Giovanni is that brother who somehow everybody goes to for advice despite having a literal therapist in their family
Thank you for listening

Epithet erased Halloween Headcanons?
Aaaah yes. The spookiest, and best, time of the year. 
Giovanni: Will go to every haunted house and loves dressing up the entire month. Doesn’t matter if it’s actually Halloween, he’ll still dress up as whatever he wants to. Loves going trick or treating with the Bois, or tp’ing houses of jerks. Halloween decorations up all year long, even during Christmas
Molly: Doesn’t like haunted houses cause of the loud noises, but will go to some with Giovanni and Sylvie. Always dresses up as some sort of bear every year, but with a different gimmick. Used to trick or treat with her parents and Lorelai, but has worked on the day since then. However, Giovanni will “break her out” to go do stuff
Sylvie: Used to not celebrate it (since it’s for “kids” and he’s totally not a kid) but it has been dragged along to a bunch of haunted houses with Giovanni and the Boi’s. Pretends he’s not scared even though he screams the loudest sometimes. Doesn’t dress up really for trick or treating, but does accept any candy given to him by people. 
Percy: Doesn’t usually have the day off, or when she does it’s after a long shift. Once she adopts Molly, she gets into the Halloween spirit more and Eros always makes sure to give her the day off so she can take Molly trick or treating. Makes sure that Molly doesn’t automatically eat all her candy
Ramsey: Happy that people don’t just get scared at his face, but compliment him on his “costume”. It kind of makes him sad a the same time but also loves the kids' reactions and compliments. One year he does dress up as a pirate, with Molly’s help, and Brutus stays on his shoulder the entire time. As much as Ramsey does not like it, he lets the cockatoo have his fun since it does add more to the costume
Zora: Fucking spooks people so hard all the time. No warning, no threat, just- spooks. All-day, every day. Doesn’t even need a costume to spook them. Will also steal candy from children, unfortunately. 
Mera: Doesn’t like people so doesn’t really like participating. But does like how chill people are this time of year during customer service. Also, put off by the roughhousing people do during Halloween, especially when people are waiting in line. Has had a few broken bones caused by this. It’s the same thing with some haunted houses where the actors are allowed to touch you and she doesn’t want to risk breaking. Can also appreciate how much effort people put into some of their costumes. Also doesn’t want to ruin how much Indus loves Halloween
Indus: Fuckin loves this time of the year, almost as much as Christmas. Loves giving out candy to the children and making them happy. Loves all the costumes and the adorable kid's ones. Gets spooked very easily, whether it’s real or pretend depends on if it’s a kid or adult. Wants to go through haunted houses but also know that he does cling and become protective of Mera so tends to steer away from them. The first time they did go through one, he accidentally hit one of the actors trying to “protect” Mera, immediately started apologizing and offered to take their place until they recovered

We already know what Giovanni room looks like, but what do you about the rooms of the rest of the characters?
(*This is not the EAM AU; just HCs for their canon rooms!)
Molly: Her room used to be pretty neat but full of toys, especially teddy bears, but now it's... well... full of stacks of paper, mostly schoolwork and bills, but everything else is weirdly untouched. Any mess has been carefully preserved, as if it's not supposed to be touched.
Sylvie: Sleeps in a room above his office. It's tiny, and cluttered, and full of work everywhere, and that's exactly how he likes it. He claims he knows exactly where everything is in the mess, but that may or may not be accurate. His bedsheets haven't been washed in months.
Mera: Not nearly as big as what she grew up with. She pretties up the room as much as she can— it's purple with black and blue accents— but she gets pretty frustrated with the lack of space for decorations.
Indus: Sleeps in the closet :( okay but seriously probably has the smallest area of the apartment, just a bed. Which is more than he had in the desert! So he's happy. He spends most of his time in Mera's room or the kitchen, anyway.
Ramsey: It's... a pretty sad sight. A few colorful anime posters are the bright spots of a dingy room that looks like it belongs in a run-down motel in a horror movie. It's not unlivable, just... pizza boxes on the floor, dirty laundry, that kind of thing.
Percy: If Ramsey's looks like a run-down motel, Percy's room looks like one from a DISPLAY HOME. Minimal furniture, but it's all nice and neat, still in perfect condition— even the bed looks unused after she makes it every morning. There's a picture frame on the wall with the default picture still in it. If a robber broke in, they might think they accidentally picked an empty living space.
Zora: Technically shares a room with Yoomtah (they have bunk beds!), but Yoomtah does most of the decorating, so the room is very colorful and full of anime figurines and weird abstract art. A few traces of Zora can be spotted if you look carefully; an old wooden chest under the bed, a handwoven blanket of faded red and brown, and multiple dreamcatchers hanging from the ceiling.
Howie: A bed. Smack-dab in the middle of an empty room.

Epithet Erased:A show centered around Kindness (and Barriers!)
Tumblr media
*teleports behind you*
Epithet Erased was created by Branden Blaber, a guy known around Youtube by the name of JelloApocolypse  He is known for his famous comedy sketch series of “This is basically...” where he takes a certain show, video game or social media and makes them into parodies, now he had created an original series called Epithet Erased, escluviely being premiered on VRV and on Youtube!
The summary of Epithet Erased will make anyone new to the series interested enough to check out the episodes.
Epithet Erased is set in the world of Sweet Jazz City, where a lucky few are born with powers attached to their very souls known as “Epithets”. An Epithet stems from a single word attached to a users soul that can grant them any kind of power. Words like “Fire,” “Coupon” or … “Soup”. A magical artifact known as the “Arsene Amulet” is rumored to be able to steal an epithet away from its user, and they say it’s hidden somewhere in the Sweet Jazz Museum. Thieves burst down the doors in the middle of the night! Inscribed warriors do battle in the dark of the abandoned exhibits! Dinosaur bones come toppling to the floor! And a little girl named Molly is trapped in the middle of it all. Will her epithet, “Dumb” be enough to save her? Or will her epithet be… erased?
I stumbled across Epithet Erased a little late to the party with three of the episodes already released on JelloApocolypse’s channel. Even being a subscriber, I never got around to it until I decided to sit down and watch the first episode. But now, I wished I would have seen it sooner because of how much I love Epithet Erased! 
Tumblr media
Epithet Erased is centered around the world of Epithets where certain people gain epithets, but only around one word. Many Epithet users have very powerful Epithets that they use for battle, protection, healing or even turning things into gold. But one main character, Molly, descibes her epithet as useless and “dumb” because it literally is her Epithet! Her Epithet is “dumb” which means that she can “dumb” down anything into literally nothing or just to negate attacks or special abilities. Epithets can also give people special passive abilities, one example is from Molly herself which she can make a bubble of silence around herself and others, as long as they are in the bubbles’ radius. 
Epithet Erased has a unique narration style and animation. Their animation budget is small as it feels more like a motion comic without the speech bubbles, but don’t let sway your opinion of it as the voice cast, art style and storytelling carries the series into comedic satisfaction. The episodic series go through arcs and the first 4 episodes take place in a museum! Where characters fight over the mysterious arsenic amulet which can steal other people’s epithets and gives it to the user.
Tumblr media
Epithet Erased also does a top down narration, where the audience is looking down on the characters as the characters are moving around as profile boxes. If I would describe it, it is similar to a DnD board, which I suspect Epithet Erased was inspired from and also known RPG mechanics as most users of epithets run on stamina and creativity. 
Tumblr media
Let’s introduce some characters and the face of the series, Molly. 
Tumblr media
Molly is 12 years old, and works in her family’s toy shop! (sometimes all on her own, because her father is worthless garbage...but let’s not get into that now) Molly has issues with her self-esteem which stems from the fact that she has to be the adult in her family since she cannot count on her father and sister. It all stems from the fact that the family fell apart from the death of her mother five years prior, ever since then, Molly has been the one to keep her family going. Molly wears a bear hoodie at all time because it was created by her mother. But even with problems at home, Molly is genueriely nice (and secretly savage, mostly savage....you’ll see). She cares about others, likes to talk to them, and understands what is going on in their point of view. She is struggling to be more  assertive, but she is getting there! 
Tumblr media
Giovanni (one of my favorite characters so far!) is the leader of the Notorious BONZAI BLASTERS! A group of rapscallion and ruffians trying to make a name of themselves, consider them like team rocket from the Pokemon series. Giovanni is trying to be known in the criminal underworld, he has his devoted minions who follow him and express their undying love for him. Giovanni may act tough and jerky, but he is a secretly a giant softie. He cares about his minions and takes care of them. Giovanni can even knit! and crafted his own suit from scratch! 
Tumblr media
Sylvie is a 15 year old boy, who recently graduated college with a PHD in Psychology, his epithet is “Drowsy”, which means he can put people to sleep and make their nightmares a reality! He can even put himself to sleep and summon his alter ego! A raging bull with a Scottish accent! He is a bit pompous and thinks he knows more than anyone in a room. But he secretly wants to have friends, luckily Molly is there to be his friend! and he has a lot to learn. 
Tumblr media
Mera is an interesting character, with her epithet literally turning against her! I won’t say anything else because I don’t want to spoil anything else from the first arc and trust me! It will captivate you!
Tumblr media
Indus is a big soft teddy bear and body guard of Mera, who he refers to as “lady Mera” which is very sweet. He does everything Mera tells him too, including cooking and doing laundry but he is kinda soft-headed (pretty dumb) think of him as Kronk and Mera as Ezma from Emperor’s new Groove. 
Tumblr media
But these two, these two right here, are my absolute favorite pair! (because I found myself shipping them, im not sorry) The guy on the left is Ramsey, who appears in ep 6 and 7. His epithet is Goldbricker, which he can turn anything and himself into solid gold. A con man at heart, constantly on the run from a bounty hunter finally finds relief when he becomes partnered with a law abiding officer, Percy. 
Percy (right), is one of the top officers in her field. Her epithet is creating small buildings with magical abilities but her stamina is very low, if she makes too much or fights for too long, she can literally pass out and becomes defenseless.  She is very direct, strong, serious and little innocent, (especially around Ramsey and his constant innuendos, which is very funny). She doesn’t really respond to his comments and his sarcastic jokes, one of which he says to her “your cop is showing” and she gets very embarrassed and says “oh, I’m sorry” so she take things very literally. These two remind me of Judy and Nick from Zootopia, and I also love the good cop, and criminal partnership trope.
Epithet Erased is an action-packed, comedic masterpiece centered around great narration, voice acting and wonderful characters. The show constant theme being kindness to others and most characters of the series are very nice people just trying to make it in a cruel world. It is heartwarming and very funny! I highly recommend everyone to give it and chance and check it out on VRV and on youtube, I will provide a link to the first episode below. I really want this show to succeed and gain a following of support as not a lot of people know about this show, and I would hate to see it end early! This type of show does not come around every often, it is like a secret prize hidden away and everyone deserves a prize! Epithet Erased is a masterpiece of animation, storytelling and character that is unlike any other!
