I'm really curious. How did you come up with MJ's design? (sorry if this has already been asked)

Oooh, getting the opportunity to talk about a portion of the creation of this AU? Pecking yes!

So you know the original design/image of Moonjumper? Drawing the head can be a headache, so I opted for the headcanon that it's an mask (a headcanon that floated around in the fandom for a while) and gave him a round head behind the mask. Also I changed the orange jacket to red to make it more inline with the Prince's outfit.

I interpreted the bottom yellow part as some kind of floaty skirt with a pixel design. Common headcanon is that the pixel float down. I didn't do that.

Another part I changed are the square particles that I turned into diamonds because... uh... I think I did that because either I misremembered them or I just thought diamonds are cooler, lol.

Okay, so, you know that common idea of him having a tail? I explored this in combination of how Moonjumper actually looks underneath the clothes and decided against the tail. Wouldn't have worked with the skirt design in my opinion. (Looking into a black void. That was the design idea behind it)

And then from there it was a slowly process of me just drawing him slightly different each time until he evolved into this design he has now. (Consistency? Never heard of that.)

Now the dress. I came up with the green dress for Vanessa's wish for a "(tea party) friend" on the spot, lol.

But when it came to giving MJ a different outfit for when it was time to get rid of the prince outfit, I couldn't find anything that I liked. So I just took the dress and changed it up a little bit so that readers can differentiate when the scenes are during Vanessa's childhood or during Route of Recovery.

He changed into a dress for two reasons: First it means to symbolize that MJ finally can leave this part of his and Vanessa's relationship behind, second he can now choose his outfit and isn't bound to his friend's dream/wish anymore of what outfit he would wear. And third, I started to hate drawing the chains, lol.

And now Moonjumper can technically wear whatever he wants. I just need to draw him in it.

Hope this answers your question.

A Hat in Time-Hopes and Friendships Chap. 17-Finding a Way

The next chapter is here! We’re now gonna see what happened after the last chapter. If you missed it please go and read it!

Thanks to @gigilefache for being my beta reader!

Enjoy!

~~~~

Harriet and Mu sat in the kitchen holding their familiars as Luka made the girls some tea. Despite no longer crying, Harriet still let out a few sniffles here and there, wiping the remaining tears from her face.

Mu was quiet and tried to reach out to comfort her best friend, but she held back and pet Boss instead.

To break the silence, Luka let out a sigh and sat down across from the girls. Harriet and Mu looked up at the man and waited to hear what he had to say. “Alright, I need to know. Where have you been Harriet?” Luka asked.

Harriet didn’t have to lie or be silent to her dad. She looked up at him and started to explain everything. “I met Mu who is a witch, I went to magic school with her in Speranza, and got to know about mom.”

Luka nodded. “Keep going.” He said.

“I also learned who my grandmother was, well she’s not a grandma, but the headmistress. An evil headmistress who took mom away from us.” Harriet explained. “And well, you know the rest.”

Luka sighed and used two fingers to press the bridge of his nose. He didn’t know how to process all this. All this time he thought his wife left or died, he’d instead think the former rather than the latter.

“It wasn’t her fault,” Mu spoke up. Harriet and Luka turned their gaze on the young witch, “I took her to Speranza, and I promised to help her find her mother. So if anyone needs to be punished it’s me.”

Luka sighed and Mu braced herself ready for Luka to yell and punish the girls. However, whatever Mu was expecting wasn’t: “No one is getting punished.”

Mu’s eyes widened confused. “What?” She asked.

“I said no one is getting punished,” Luka replied. Harriet sighed in relief, but Mu was still confused why Luka wasn’t punishing them.

“B-but that doesn’t make sense?” Mu asked. “Why?”

“Because you went through a lot, and I’m just glad all of you are okay,” Luka explained. Harriet gave a small smile and got out of her chair and hugged her father tight. Luka smiled and hugged his little girl back. He then looked at Mu and held his arm out for the young witch. This surprised her as she went over to Luka, and she was surprised when he pulled her into a hug. Mu blinked in surprise and hugged Luka back. Never in her life had Mu felt this much love in a household. Moonjumper and Boss smiled in awe seeing the lovely sight.

Though the hug couldn’t be like that forever as Harriet and Mu’s stomachs started to growl. They quickly let go of Luka. “Guessing you two haven’t eaten yet?” He asked.

“Nope,” Harriet replied.

“Alright, I’ll order us take-out food tonight.” Luka said.

“Could we get Chinese Food?” Harriet asked.

After what Harriet and Mu went through, how could Luka say no? He grabbed his phone and dialed the number to Harriet’s favorite Chinese place and placed an order. While waiting for the food to arrive, Harriet went to her room and handed Mu a pair of pajamas for tonight. “You can borrow my stuff for the time being.” Harriet said.

“Thanks.” Mu replied, taking the clothes. They were red and pink two-piece pajamas that were covered in hearts. Once Mu was changed into her new pajamas the food had already arrived. Luka opened up the containers while Harriet set up the table.

Mu was confused as she sat down at the table. She’d never had a life like this, the food at the table looked and smelled so good and Luka was treating her and Harriet nicely. She knew she didn’t deserve all this, but she was so hungry she couldn’t complain.

“Here.” Luka said, handing her plate filled with noodles, rice and two egg rolls. Mu snapped out of her thoughts as Luka handed her the plate of food. “You look pretty hungry.”

“Thank you.” Mu said, taking the plate from Luka’s hands. She stared at the food for a bit before picking up her fork and scooping a bit of noodles and rice from her plate and into her mouth. Her eyes widened as the food tasted good, and continued to eat.

Once done with dinner, Luka led the young witch to the room right between his room and Harriet’s. When he opened the door, Mu was surprised by how warm and cozy the room was. Boss walked in and saw the bed and immediately ran to it before collapsing and falling asleep. Mu chuckled seeing Boss act like a pet cat. “Well make yourself comfortable, and just call me if you need anything.” Mu nodded in reply leaving her and Boss alone in the room.

Now that the young witch was able to be alone. She then got herself comfortable on her bed and started to pet Boss. “What are we gonna do now, Boss?” Mu asked. Boss looked up and let out a meow. “I mean we're stuck here till we find a way back to Speranza.” She explained. Boss let out a purr as he nuzzled his witch. Mu sighed seeing Boss can’t understand her now. “Great, now you're acting like a regular cat.”

Soon Mu heard laughter and turned to see it was Boss. “Nah, I’m just teasing you.” He said.

Mu growled as she pulled her familiar close to her face. “Don’t scare me like that again!” She threatened.

Boss chuckled, “Sorry.” He apologized. Mu sighed as she was too tired to yell at him even more. Once she let go of him he stood by her side as Mu collected her thoughts on what they should do now. While she thought Boss sensed something in the drawer next to the bed and went over to it. He sniffed it once more, which caused his tail to perk up.

“Find anything?” Mu asked.

“Open it.” Boss said.

Mu opened the drawer and her eyes widened seeing a bunch of magic books that came from Speranza. She grabbed a few and recognized these books as the ones missing from the library. “You don’t think Mr. Kidd knows about this, right?” She asked.

“Doesn’t hurt to ask.” Boss replied.

With that Mu picked up two of the magic books, and went downstairs to see Mr. Kidd. Once in the living room, she saw the man sitting on his couch reading a book. “Um, excuse me.” Mu spoke up. Luka looked up from his book and saw Mu standing there with two books.

“Oh, I see you found Vanessa’s magic books.” Luka said.

Mu nodded. “Yeah.” She replied. “I’m guessing you knew she was a witch?”

“I did.” Luka replied, giving a nod.

“Did she tell you everything?”

Luka nodded again. “Yeah, Vanessa and I planned on telling Harriet when she was older, but after Vanessa disappeared. I had to keep everything a secret.” He explained.

“Why? Don’t you know how much Harriet loves magic?” Mu asked.

“I do know, and I love her for liking it, but if she found out. I was scared she’d go look for her and would stay in Speranza, and would go through the same pressure her mother did.”

Mu frowned knowing how much Elizabeth pressured her, and anyone else in the school. However, Harriet never got that kind of pressure during her time thanks to being by Mu’s side. “Well good news, the Headmistress did not put Harriet under any pressure.” Mu told him.

Luka sighed and gave a small smile. “Thank you.” He said.

“You’re welcome.” Mu replied.

The two heard Harriet come downstairs and turned to face her. “Hey dad, think tomorrow we can take Mu out for ice cream?” She asked.

“Sure kiddo, besides we do need to get some clothes for Mu since she’ll be staying with us for a while.” Luka replied.

Harriet smiled widely as she grabbed Mu’s hand. “Come on! I have to show you my room before bed.” She said, dragging the witch up to her room. Mu chuckled and followed her friend up to her room. The witch was shocked once seeing her best friend’s room filled with posters of different fantasy series from tv shows and books.

“Wow, you truly are a fantasy fanatic.” Mu commented.

“Yep!” Harriet replied. Mu didn’t know how to reply and it was just the two girls standing there awkwardly. “M-Mu are you mad at me?” She asked.

“What! No!” Mu replied. “Shouldn’t you be mad at me for failing the mission?”

Harriet sighed. She went quiet for a bit, which made Mu think she was right. “I’m disappointed we failed, but like every story I read, no hero gives up.” She explained. “So for now we just have to plan how we can get back to Speranza and save my mom.”

“But how?” Mu asked. “Knowing the Headmistress I’m sure she put a spell blocking anyone from entering Speranza.”

Harriet thought and remembered something. “I heard you and Dad found my mom’s old books, right?”

“Yeah.”

“We can look through those and see what we could find, maybe there’s a spell on how to get back or how to heal my mom.” Harriet explained.

Mu gave a small smile and nodded. “Okay, let’s see what we can find.” The witch then went to her room and grabbed a few books she and Harriet could look through. The two scanned and turned pages through the spells. When one of them found a spell intriguing enough, they marked it to look back on later. After an hour of looking through, Harriet let out a yawn.

“Find anything Mu?” Harriet asked. She then saw Mu was asleep and gave a small smile. She closed the book Mu was reading and tucked Mu in. “Night Mu.” Harriet whispered. She turned off the lights, tucked herself in, and fell asleep as well.

1 headcanon for (some) characters in a hat in time (retail, cut content and ARG)

Retail

Hat Kid is a bit of a gun nut and after the events of Rush Hour she 'aquired' a rather large shotgun for 'ship defence'.

Bow Kid is a vastly better fighter then Hat Kid and is very adaptable, surprisingly she wasn't at times end but if she was she could probably whoop Mustache Girl's behind if she was at times end (Mu would be in pieces in the aftermath).

The mafia are actually very inteligent, just in certain topics such as the speed and velocity needed to punch old people but some also know fireworks and other stuff.

Mafia Boss exploded during the boss fight because he earlier had mafia cooking and fucking exploded, no wonder why a certain cat switches out the food.

Cooking Cat's real name is CiCi.

Goofy Mafia basically has the A Hat in Time equivalent of Pinky sense, it does lead to many of his fellow mafia either being injured or dying.

The Conductor's only venture outside of train based Westerns before the events of a hat in time lead to his only loss against Dj Grooves, it was a noir detective film so boring that Dj Grooves' entry was considered better (somehow).

Dj Grooves' nightclub was once used as a speakeasy during the prohabition era, it is also where the 'basement' of it came from and what Dj Grooves uses it for.

Snatcher does still deep down have some feelings for Vanessa despite even him agnologing just how bad the marriage was going to go.

Vanessa is Vanessa

Mustache Girl legally cannot enter the FUB under threat of arrest following the events of times end.

The Seals on the cruise ship are trainees.

The Captain is the only person who could outdo Tempus in a chainsmoking competition and its by a narrow margin.

The Metro Cats live with 2035's technology unlike the Penguins and Owls which use 1980's tech and the Subconites are stuck in the medieval era.

The Lazy Paw are a Nyakuza offshoot which fled the metro instead of fighting against the rampant anti-union laws which exist in the metro which is what Empress and the Nyakuza did.

The Empress is related to CiCi

Cut content, the prototype/alpha story took place years before the events of the retail game:

Beta Kid is a sentient doll and as such can't speak or grow in size, they are perminantly attached to their body.

Timmy's alighnment is lawful chaotic, he has a strict moral code but nobody knows what it actually IS (he's a chaotic gremlin).

Sam the Detective is on Tim's pay roll because finding timepieces does include massive amounts of dirty tactics.

Tim the CEO of time, despite his immense power, can barely hold a candle to his predecessors since he spent little time studying in his youth and more time messing around with Thor, Sam and Oldster when they were young

Thor's inventions have occasionally been used in military operations, retail Hat Kid was once able to mount an M2HB onto a Sand Mobile to fight the Nyakuza entirely via drivebys. He hates this though and that HMG came straight off once Hat Kid was finished with it.

The Mafia originated from a fish factory but had to move because of 'circumstances' (they were forced to move due to reasons beyond just wanting a vacation), Mu's home island was just there and they took over out of convenience.

The Mafia boss of the cut content was retail Mafia Bosses brother who was killed in the fight with Beta Kid.

The reason why Moonjumper isn't in the retail version is because Beta Kid (with help from Snatcher) killed him, Snatcher exploited the resulting power vacume for extra power and also absorbed MJ's old soul and some of his abilities.

Shapeshifter is chill, a little murderous but chill (still hates Beta Kid though).

TV head has a posh English accent and has a tea obbsession.

The Worm's business is failing but badge seller does help him out, he now works under badge seller for good pay.

ARG, the ARG lot appearing was an accident involving Hat Kid, alcohol and a slight but very entertaining trip into underaged drinking:

Fuck you chainsmoker Tempus is still around, she can also tank multiple RPG rounds to the face and not give a damn.

Puella and Cavus are illiterate (Somehow, Tempus forgot to teach them how to read or write).

The first thing Puella did when she got a smartphone was to order a therapy apointment...don't blame her.

Cavus is also on perminant life support after his two bouts against Hat Kid and as such must be kept in a drinks cooler, he is about the size of a basket ball currently.

Aggripa forever curses Tempus for this as he has to dictate to the pair what something says.

The Founders were the subject of a shadow folk song along the lines of that one variation of Colonel Bogey March, Hat Kid rediscovered the song during a trip to alpine skyline and the collective karaoke that transpired was described by Puella as "bloody gorgeous".

I was left alone all day at work to just work and zone out so my brain was doing things

this isn’t like. anything actually I just wanted to write it and wanted to share it

The flower moonjumper belongs to @doodleimprovement‘s Victorian au for the record!!!!

“Papa look!” the little girl was smiling ear to ear as she held up the clump of seaweed, “There’s mermaid purses in it!” she giggled happily. “Pia found a treasure!”

The black haired man knelt down with a grin, his tail coat’s getting sandy, “well by stars, there are indeed, my little Pia!” He reached to stroke her head gently, her white hair curly around his hand.

She snarled some when a voice cried out.

“My dear Count, there you are!” the frail looking man gave a forced smile. He moved to dab sweat from his brow, “You have a meeting today, I have been searching all over. Oh Hello Lady Nocturn.” he gave a small bow.

The girl snarled again and clung to her father’s leg as he stood up. The man sighed.

“Eclipsa.” he scolded.

She gave a small whine, “I don’t like him papa! He smells funny!”

“It’s the herb pouch he carries, my sweet one.” the count reached to pick her up, “Papa has told you, Mr. Menodora is just sickly. He needs to be careful.”

“Still don’t like him.” she puffed her cheek up annoyed.

“Enunciate, Eclipsa.” he sighed. Giving her cheek a kiss he set her down, “While Papa deal with Mr. Menodora, how about you go play with Twinkle okay?”

She nodded and moved to run past the man. She crinkled her nose and stuck her tongue out before absconding up the hill towards the estate.

The count rubbed his neck with a sigh, “She’s as spirited as her mother.”

“Quite my liege. Perhaps you have con---”

“I will not send Eclipsa to boarding school.” he scowled, “and that’s final.”

------

The count gasped as the cup was knocked away. The tea spilling over the carpet. He snarled, baring his fangs, “ECLIPSA AMARIS NOCTURN!” he looked at the girl who was using her stuffed dog to soak up the tea, “WHAT ON---”

“Bad plant.” she stated, her blue eyes glowing a bit, “Twinkle saw Misser Trell put a bad plant in this. Pia can eat but not Papa. Papa would get sick. Twinkle said so.”

The man froze up instantly. He frowned, “Twilla, Go fetch Mr. Trell as well as the guard.”

The aide gave a small frown before bowing, “Right away, Count.” As he exited the room he shot a small glare at the child who splashed the toy’s paws in the liquid.

“Which plant did Twinkle see? Can you draw it for me, Pia?” he asked his daughter. He held a charcoal stick to her and a small book.

She set her toy down to take it and draw the two petaled flower, “was blue. With red. Twinkle says it does really bad things to humans. Pia is fine. Not papa.”

“A moonjumper.” he frowned, “that’s a grave offense. And Twinkle saw Mr. Trell do it?” the count set the book down and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

“Mmhm. papa, Nightingale is all done drinking the bad tea!” She grinned as she held the swollen and soppy plush dog up, “Can Missus Fairweather give Nightingale a bath since she was a good girl and saved papa?”

He gave a soft smile and pet his daughter’s head, “Of course she’d be delighted to.”

------

Eclipsa walked quietly through the halls. She’d had a nightmare and was trying to make her way to her father’s room when voices stopped her.

“Just a child but she sees so much.”

“It’s the creepy snow colored hair. That child isn’t right. Twinkle. I call bollocks. The count of Horizongale indulges that child too much. Using some imaginary friend as a basis for an arrest!”

The little girl puffed her cheek. One of those voices was clearly Twilla Menodora. She looked around curiously and huffed seeing nothing. She listened more.

“Well we’ll have to try something else. Have you tried adding it to the child’s food?”

“We’ve put more than a lethal dose in the Lady’s food! She just! Is fine!”

She rolled her eyes, no wonder her food tasted so funny lately. It wasn’t like it bothered her but it would bother her papa. She heard a chime and turned her head. A blue ball of fire bouncing around. She beamed happily and reached out to stroke it.

“Twinkle!” she whispered as it bounced about. She giggled and gave it a kiss. She pointed, “can you go listen for me?” she pointed, “Mister Menodora is being creepy, he’s gonna hurt papa!”

The fire chimed, bumped her cheek and zipped off. She grinned. If Twinkle got the information, then she’d be able to help her father.

Her blue eyes glowed in the darkness of the manor as the fire went to eavesdrop.

-----

“W-WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!” the former aide snapped as he was grabbed by his arms. He looked at the child who clung to the Count’s leg, “Count! Please! She doesn’t like me of course---”

“Pia may not like you, But Twinkle cannot lie.”

“Again with this stupid imaginary friend?!” the man gasped as he was thrown into the carriage, “YOU WILL REGRET MAKING ME AN ENEMY!”

Eclipsa scoffed and hugged her father’s leg tightly. When the carriage was gone she gave a proud huff, “Papa up!” she grinned and raised her arms, “Pia did a good job right?”

He reached to pick his daughter up, giving a half smile, “You did. You did a very good job, you and Twinkle.”

“Hehe~!” she giggled. With Mister Menodora gone, she wouldn’t have to worry. She nuzzled her father happily.

----

“ECLIPSA!” the count shouted as she was ripped from the carriage, the rain pouring down. He yowled in pain as the knife was stabbed deep into his abdomen, the red seeping through his clothing.

“PAPA!” the child struggled as she was held, a gag being tied.

Twinkel zipped and slammed into her assailants head and she dropped to the ground.

“ECLIPSA RUN!” he father shouted as he coughed, “TWINKLE LEAD HER TO SAFETY GO!”

She whined but began to chase her fiery friend, who glowed strong despite the rain. She felt her eyes burning with tears as she chased the fire into the woods. It lead her to a hole in a large tree and she crawled inside.

Sniffling she curled her knees up. She was scratched and her father was hurt. She wiped her eyes but it made her tears worse.

“P-Papa… papa…”

Twinkle made a low chime and nuzzled her. It zipped outside leaving her alone as she sniffled.

She wasn’t sure how long time passed. But she tensed up instantly.

“Oh Lady Nocturnnnnn.” It was Twilla’s voice calling her chillingly. “Come out come out. You ruined my plans little one, you need to pay for that. Your father can’t help you now, and since you caused me so much grief---”

She covered her ears. If she was quiet and didn’t respond. She just had to be quiet. She clenched her eyes shut as she bit her tongue.

“There you are.”

She screamed and tore from the tree. Her dress catching branches as she was scratched. She didn’t care and kept running. Deeper into the woods.

“GET BACK HERE!” he snarled.

She gasped when a rope caught her neck and he cackled.

“I TOLD YOU YOU WILL PAY YOU INSOLENT BRAT!”

It hurt and she couldn’t breathe. She clawed at it and let out a scream.

The area lit in a cold light. Twinkle was in her reach. She reached for the fire, “P-Please! D-Don’t let him! DON’T LET HIM TAKE ME!”

And then.

It was quiet.

--------

Eclipse sat upright, sweat dripping down her face. She reached for the scar on her neck. The three wisps chiming in worry.

“I-I’m fine. It was just. A nightmare. Nothing more.” the woman curled her knees to her chest. Her heart was pounding heavily in her chest, “I’m okay. I’m fine. I’m fine…”

May I? Ask for some Snatcher and MJ hcs when they are already a while with their s/o in a relationship?

Of course! These two lads deserve some love and affection (and vise versa for all you ghost lovers out there!)

Starting with Moonjumper, he has a very cute habit of taking his S/O’s hands and placing kisses on top of them in a fancy gesture (because, y’know, he’s royalty, and that’s a thing princes do-). Sometimes it’s because he wants to act like a gentleman, other times he uses it as an excuse just to see his S/O blush! But, if S/O decides to turn the tables and kiss his hands instead? He is straight up swooning, with him shyly commenting on how they are ever the charmer~

With Snatcher, if S/O allows him, he likes brushing his claws through their hair softly. It happens rarely, but if it’s one of those quiet moments where S/O in sitting in Snatcher’s lap and they’re just chilling, Snatcher may or may not find himself combing through their hair or playing with a lock of it (and if they have shorter hair, Snatcher just kinda “pets” the top of their head absentmindedly). With S/O petting Snatcher’s hair, on the other hand? Yes please, he love, love, loves floof pets and stritches! (not that he’ll ever admit it, but he won’t ask for them to stop)

Moonjumper is very much a cuddle bug. The moment that S/O hugs him or asks him for cuddles, he’s immediately hugging, cuddling, and/or nuzzling at their side. The poor lad is very touch-starved after so many years, so he very much craves physical affection and plenty of attention from his partner! But don’t worry, for as much attention as S/O gives him, Moon makes sure to give back twice if not thrice as much back!

No matter S/O’s height, whether they be relatively tall or short, Snatcher will always playfully make a teasing comment on how small or little they are compared to him (Honestly, I HC that Snatcher’s full height is about 20 ft., maybe 10 ft. or less if he needs to be smaller in somewhere with less room). He always takes advantage of this fact, picking them up often, carrying them in his arms or on his shoulders, or lifting them up when they need help to reach something. Basically, for every tall joke they make of Snatcher, Snatcher will always return it with a short joke just to get a rise out of them (or to see them all flustered, which is pretty much the main reason why he does it).

Moonjumper’s very well-known for gifting things to his S/O! Sometimes with bouquets of flowers, but other times he’ll make his gifts by hand! He’ll dedicate his free time time to make all sorts of blankets, clothing items, plushies, and pillows for his beloved! And another cute detail, most of these gifts follow a heart or star motif and/or are in S/O’s favorite color(s). Sometimes he’ll even embroider sweet little messages into these hand-made gifts, phrases like “To my precious star, the forever light of my afterlife~” or “To my darling sweetheart, who is, without a doubt, the sweetest thing of all!~” in pretty cursive embroidery.

Snatcher also gets his S/O gifts! Though he usually doesn’t give them flowers often, and he’s not as good with actually making things like Moonjumper does, he still does give them gifts from time to time (at first, he says it’s only because they “Did so well on their contracts”, but he’ll eventually admit it and just give them gifts outright). Sometimes the gift will be a book; not about law, surprisingly, but whatever genre or hobby S/O is into. Other times, they’ll be articles of clothing that Snatcher thinks would look nice on them! Some just are regular pieces of clothing, other times they’re a combination of purple and yellow, with a certain someone’s signature grin printed on there somewhere (call him an egotist if you want, it’s not gonna stop him from grinning so smugly).

Moonjumper is an absolute sap with nicknames. He’ll be sure to call S/O all the sweetest, gushiest, fluffiest nicknames he can think of, switching them up every now and then to see which one they liked being call the most! (Honestly, he might have a whole list at this point) Of course, there’s his usual go-to: “my lady/lord”, “my darling”, “my love”, “sweetheart” and so on. But other times he might use rarer nicknames like “my precious/glittering star”, “angel”, “dear/dearest”, “my jewel/gem”, “my flower”, “mon amour”, etc. But the rarest nickname of all for him to use is calling them “my princess/prince” or “my queen/king”, as he only uses it during their more heartfelt moments together, showing just how much he trusts them.

Snatcher rarely uses nicknames, claiming that they’re “too sappy/affection for his tastes”, so he only uses the occasional “darling”, “sweetheart”, etc. But, once they get further into the relationship, and/or if they ask nicely, Snatcher will surprise his S/O with more embarrassing nicknames, like “buttercup” or “pumpkin”, just to see how much he can make them blush. Basically, Snatcher can go from being fancy and calling them “my darling” to doing a complete 180 and calling them “toots” while doing finger guns. Maybe he’s aware of how cheesy it is, but he thinks it’s well worth it to see his S/O blushing and hear their adorable giggles!

Moonjumper tries to pull out all the stops when he takes S/O out on a date, dressing fancily and trying his best to impress them, maybe even ask them for a dance. But if S/O prefers something more easy-going, he’s more than happy to set up a romantic picnic, just for the two of them! Now does this means he still doesn’t try to impress them? Absolutely not, as he rehearses in the mirror every time before they go out on a date, wanting to make sure he a true gentleman when said date arrives. If S/O comments on this, however, saying that he doesn’t need to impress them so much, as he’s already impressive, they’d better prepare for him to be an absolute lovestruck sap for the rest of the night.

Snatcher is, surprisingly, very nervous when it comes to asking his S/Os out on dates, even after the fact that they’re already a couple. He always grooms himself before going out, making sure he looks his best, wearing a fancy tux and maybe even a tie/bowtie and top hat to match! He tries boosting up his confidence beforehand (he’s the King of Subcon, after all!), but once he sees his S/O in their date outfit, whether it be overly fancy or not, all of that goes out the window and he’s a blushing and nervous wreck the whole time. He tries hiding this by doing fancy gestures for S/O, locking arms or holding hands with them, opening doors and pushing in chairs for them, but out of the corner of their eye they’ll catch him taking a nervous gulp he doesn’t need, fidgeting and adjusting his tie/bowtie or suit, tapping his claws, and tugging at his suit collar. He can’t help it, and he finds himself getting distracted by how beautiful they are.

Now, let’s say S/O finds themselves in a particularly gloomy or not-so-good mood? Believe me, Moonjumper will notice, and he will immediately ask them wants wrong. And before they can even blink, Moon makes them and pillow fort with all the fluffiest blankets he could grab, offering them a warm, cozy seat and some tea so they can de-stress and relax. He holds them close in his arms, listening to them intently if there’s something wrong, and comforts them all night long, reassuring them that he loves them and that he’s there for them. Whether it be anxiety, depression, or anything else, he’ll make sure to let them know that he’s here, he loves them, and he promises he’s not going anywhere.

When S/O is in a less than happy mood around Snatcher? Snatcher also notices, although it takes him awhile to bring it up, worried that they might not want to talk about it. Of course, at first he semi-jokes by saying “Alright. Who’s soul do I have to steal for you?” and things of a similar nature, but eventually he’ll turn serious and bring them up onto his lap, snapping his fingers to wrap them up in a cozy blanket with a nice, warm mug of hot cocoa/coffee/tea suddenly in their hands. He lets them use his floof like a pillow, being less tsundere and more cuddly than usual, letting them talk it out if they want to. Snatcher makes sure to let them know that he really, truly does love them (even if, and he’ll admit it for once, he acts like a giant “soon-deh-ray” most of the time) and cares about their happiness and well-being. And if comforting them means swallowing his pride, then he won’t have to think twice before making that decision, because they are his all, his everything, and he wouldn’t give them up for anyone else in the world.

AHIT Victorian AU Drabble: Ongoing Curiosity

This takes place some time before the climax of the story

Please don’t be afraid to ask questions! I know this comes off as a little vague.

The dwellers that lived at the edge of Subcon Village were a quiet bunch, kind but reclusive, and ambiguous in all ways. They never showed their faces - not even their eyes, and made money by selling remedies and spices that they cultivated. The dwellers had lived in the village for as long as anyone could recall, and it was assumed at some point that they were just fae.

Not an entirely wrong assumption, but perhaps misleading.

Little Harriet was not a frequent visitor, but she had been there once or twice on errands for the manor. So, when she approached, a dweller - one with a red and while fox-like mask- opened the door for her.

“Hello, Little Harriet. Your bow looks very pretty today” They commented, and the girl jumped at the compliment

“Heheh, thank you! Miss Delilah gave me the new pin.” She flashed the dried flower “She says its a flower called a “MoonJumper” and that they’re really poisonous if they’re not dried”

The dweller nodded - MoonJumpers were a rather feared but rare flower in the forest.

“Uh, I have a few questions, if you have a few minutes” The child requested, taking one end of her ribbon and rubbing it between her fingers

“I have many minutes for one as curious as you” The dweller opened the door to the home further, inviting the child in “The others are in the square today, so it is just me”

“Oh, okay, thank you!” Harriet walked in, and was let to the table

“Would you like some tea?” The dweller offered

“No, its okay” The child rejected kindly, taking a seat

“Alright. What questions do you have?” They asked, taking a seat across from the girl.

“So uh, Miss Cici, right, she told me that in order to lead Subcon manor, Lady Vanessa had to.. barter with the forest? She wouldn't tell me what that means. I was wondering if you knew?”

The dweller took a moment to think “... Lord Lukas and Sir Markus were the heirs to the estate. When their father died, the forest - the defender of Subcon, required them to prove their worth.”

“So, in order to protect the village, they have to… give something up? Like, money?” The child’s head tilted to the side.

“The forest requires something far more substantial than that, dear”

“Like what?”

The dweller once again paused. Much longer this time.

“Say that someone you loved was ill, and the forest had the remedy, what would you give them?”

“... i dunno. I don’t have much” The child admitted.

“No, you have plenty to give. The forest is not picky” The dweller stood “You have your ribbon, if you wish to give them something physical” Harriet grabbed at the purple satin “But you can also give them your courage, your sight, your voice… among other things”

“Wow… That’s a lot”

“Indeed, dear”

“Wait, if Lord Lukas is away, and so is Sir Markus.. Lady Vanessa had to give something up too?”

The dweller nodded

“... What was it?”

“I’m afraid that is between her and the forest, little one”

Harriet’s brow furrowed, looking down at her dress, where her fists were clenched in the fabric “Hm… Well uh, thank you. You answered all my questions”

“I am always happy to help, Little Harriet. Now, I do not mean to usher you out, but i can see the clouds are darkening. You must get back to the manor before the rain starts and gets bad. I feel that it is going to be a rather terrible autumn storm.”

Harriet looked out the window to confirm before hopping out of her chair “See you soon?” The child offered their hand for a handshake.

The dweller couldn’t help but chuckle. What a peculiar child.

“See you soon, dear”

Once the hands separated, the child ran out, and the dweller wondered if, perhaps, they had told her too much.

But it was too late now. The clouds were rolling in.

Your impersonation of moonjumper?

Hold on, I’m shifting into my roleplay mode.

Ahem!

“Ah, so wonderful of you to visit me on this fine fine day, my child! Yes, so wonderful indeed! I’ve been doing great, remarkably fine.. For you see, I have been sewing all day.. It is one of my hobbies, if you say. I would show some of my dear dolls, but I’m afraid this.. Snatcher, hid them away, as per usual. Ah, what a shame, what a shame indeed! One day I’ll show him not to mess with my things.. But enough negative talk! How about a humble tea party, my dear?”

Love's trouble (Reader, Hat Kid, Conductor and Dj Grooves fic)

Just, before you start reading, it is my first fic. English is not my native language. So if they errors or if I forget words, don't be mean. I wish you a good reading !

-------------------------------------------

Today is a beautiful day to be out. The sun shine, they are not a single cloud in the sky and people go to the beach for passing a day far from the work.

But it's not your case. To explain the more simply as possible, you have a tiny (not very tiny) crush on your boss. Yes it's the "nasty" Snatcher, everyone know him as the demon of the cursed forest. But for you he is a nice guy. You love him but is that reciprocal? Does he love you? And if you telling him your fellings how can he react? If you have luck he can laught at you or say that "he have a reputation". But the worst scenario can be killing you and at this though you shake with fear.

You spend a good part of the morning to think about it and the more your think, the more you have a headache. Hat Kid ask you if you want a cookie and you decline polity. Even if it is polite the kid is shocking by your reaction. Normally you cannot say no to a cookie and the kid is shocking because she think that persons who reject the power of cookies are not normally persons.

With your headache you leave this thinking to an other subject. Maybe is the time for paying a visit to the inhabitants of this planet. But who ? You don't really love Mafia boss because most of the time he scares you. Cookie said this morning that she have work. You don't have really have the mood to go talking to Snatcher or Moonjumper. So it's lead two people, Conductor and Groove. And you remember that Grooves have invite you to drink something whenever you have time. So you go to Dead Bird Studio with Hat Kid because she doesn't want to lead you visit her friends without her.

-------------------------------------------

At your arrival in front of Dead Bird Studio you note that they have more owls and pinguins than the normal. Maybe they have some auditions or shootings. You go in the front of the receptionist desk and it seem that his employee is busy. So you wait a few minutes. After he put the phone back you think to ask if Conductor and Groove are busy but your friend is more faster than you.

"Hello mister ! We are paying a visit to Conductor and Grooves ! Are they busy?" Ask the kid

"Hey, the two non-birds ! You're lucky because this is the breack time soon! I call them for you." Say the receptionist before taking his micro. "Ahem-hem... BREACK TIME ! And also Conductor and Groove you have a visit!"

And the worst happened. You heard the nice shooting of your favorite yelling bird. Yeah, the yell that everyone know. But to you own surprise they are not a single shout but two.

"WHO THE PECK NECK WANT TO VISIT ME ?" Yell a scotish voice

"DARLING ! SHOW SOME RESPECT !" Answer an other

And by the two gigantic doors you saw the two birds come at you. They seem surprise to saw you because you normally pay a visit to their just twice a week and this time is the third time of the week.

"Lassies! Why are you here?" Say Conductor and Grooves nod at him for telling is surprise.

"MC want to pay a visit to you!" Say Hat Kid pointing her finger to you

"Oh it's not like I want to bother you, but, Grooves you have telling me that you have invite me to drink something whenever I have the time. So I have think it's the time." You say shily

"Oh yes it's true darling ! You do well to remind me! Come with me!" Answer the groovy pinguin

"Yeah I come with you!" Shout Hat Kid

"No! I- I want to have a private talk with Groove." You say halting

"But-"

"Conductor can you keep her with you while I talk to Grooves ?" You ask shily

Conductor scratch his head before telling "No problem, I'm used to babysit me grandkids"

"But... Fine" say the kid, giving up the battle.

So you lead your friend to the Conductor and follows Grooves. You think that maybe is a bad idea to lead the kid to Conductor. The last time, the owl have literally blow up his train. You comfort yourself by saying that he is the more capable to keep an eye on children.

------------------------------------------- You and your groovy friend arrive at the cafetaria of the studio. Even if it is breack time, they have not much people ... or birds. You sit at a table in a corner of the room, a habit you have taken to be alone. You don't like when a stranger look at you while you drink something. You order a tea and you friend a coffee. While the server prepares your order, you talk with your friend. You learn that he want to make an other science-fiction movie. Is not like you hate his movies but the last time you was one of the protagonists and you had to walk on electrified cables over a crowd. But to you own security Grooves say that you will not play a character. Meanwhile, you order is ready and to your surprise, it was really much faster than you think to prepare.

"So darling, you want to talk to me about something ?" Ask the pinguin. But you feel something strange, like your heart say no for telling at you friend what haunts your head. You have to do this, to ask him what he think.

"Grooves, have you ever loving someone? When I say love it's not the love between sisters and brothers or a mother to a child..."You begin to say

"But between two friend? If it is this I had loving someone in my life." Affirms Grooves

"Really?!" You ask surprised

"But I cannot tell you who! "

"I understand. But have you ever ask to you if it is good to love someone?"

"Darling, do you love someone?" Ask suddenly your friend.

"I-I..." You start but your voice break and you feel your tears coming back. Grooves note that and put his hand on yours.

"It is the Snatcher, right?" Ask your friend. And at this matter you start to cry. "Hey! Is not a cataclysm to love someone even if he is evil" Whisper the pinguin to calm you down. "Besides, he can be nice if you know him."

"B-but if he d-doesn't love me? He would k-kill me"

"Kill you!? Darling, you're kidding ! He cannot because he love you!" At this remark you gasp. "He would not hurt you. Even if I don't see him every day, from what I have seen he likes you like if you are his soulmate. So calm down! You heart is telling you to love him so do it! But if you are not ready to tell him so wait until it is the best moment !" Say Grooves quiety. "Stop crying and drink your tea before it is cold!"

-------------------------------------------

You passed a wonderful morning, even if you have cried. You have thank Conductor to have keeping an eye on Hat Kid and give a hug to Grooves for the talk. After saying goodbye to your friend you go on the spaceship with the kid.

hay rides: if you could pick absolutely anything to be your form of transportation, what would it be? (for Edwin) // hot tea: when was the last time you kissed someone (if you haven’t had your first kiss, who would you like that first someone to be?) (for Moonjumper)

hay rides: if you could pick absolutely anything to be your form of transportation, what would it be? (for Edwin)

"Anything? Well I’m not sure - we mostly used horses in Somnia, but I’m sure there are much more efficient methods here and now. I don’t know that many forms of travel. Some kind of flight, I suppose? It would make things easier in many ways to be able to just lift off the ground at will. I suppose I’m jealous of Moonjumper, that way.”

hot tea: when was the last time you kissed someone (if you haven’t had your first kiss, who would you like that first someone to be?) (for Moonjumper)

“Never! And I don’t want to!” He responded, with a noticeably forced grin on his face. “Kissing means love, and love mean weakness. I will have no weakness, thank you - the prince was idiot enough opening his heart like that to somebody, and if having his memories embedded so tumorously inside my head taught me anything, it’s that affection leads to you getting hurt. So I don’t want to kiss anyone. Ever.”

Writing is an interesting process. Sometimes you manage to write something on the first try and besides maybe a few adjustments, it's pretty much the final draft. And then sometimes you write something that doesn't fit (anymore after a while), so you have to scrap it.

I was talking to some friends on some RP server about my writing and told them how Step 24 was rewritten into 4 new steps (which pushed the steps after that back). It was a mess because rewriting them meant I had to rewrite the steps coming after the pushed steps.

...This might sound confusing, let me draw something quickly, lol

Quick info: Step 24 was the original end of what I call "The third floor (mini) arc". But with the rewriting, Step 27 became the actual ending.

Okay, and how was the stuff rewritten? :) Let's look at the scrapped Step 24 for this (under the cut. Also long post)

Read it? Good.

When I write stuff, I have a problem with exposition. I love giving it, and explaining stuff so that hopefully everyone understands what I try to convey. Probably comes from the fact that I have a harder time understanding subtext often, so this gets mirrored in my own writing ^^;

The panel with Snatcher explaining #76's backstory was a response to an ask I got ages ago. Which... in retrospect wasn't a good move on my part. I shoehorned it in, so that I could answer something about this Minion. And just, the whole page feels just "a speedrun of clearing the problem between Snatcher and Moonjumper."

No.

No, no, no, no! Snatcher had gotten a burst of uncontrollable emotions after learning that the letters from his family are still intact. He wouldn't be this calm menace who just tells Moonjumper his reasoning. Even it maybe could make sense that Snatcher is calm about it because, well, it's been 300 years, and he probably got calm about his own death and everything surrounding it...

But on the other hand, everyone and everything in Subcon must be in a more emotional and irrational state currently, because it's been only like 2 - 3 weeks since Vanessa was rescued and it's been only a day since Moonjumper appeared.

There is tension in the air.

======

So, with scrapping this calm conclusion to the "third floor arc", I wanted these steps to be an emotional rollercoaster between the characters. After all, Snatcher as quite a lot of bottled up emotions, and so does Vanessa too.

After making Snatcher and Moonjumper have an actual physical fight, and also making it as long as it felt natural for Snatcher wanting to get that steam out of his system, I wanted to give Vanessa a little bit of an emotional spotlight too.

But there were two options how to go about it in Step 26.

In the scrapped version, Vanessa is delusional about it. She doesn't want to believe that the issue of the freezing isn't just easily talked out with some snacks and tea. So, she, as a naive young woman who was friends with a dream being for 10 years, thinks during the fight between her "BFs" (Best friend and (former) boyfriend) that all this must be a bad dream.

Right? She probably is just dreaming all this and Moonjumper here could change it to a good ending, where everyone gets along. But this isn't a dream, this is reality and so Snatcher has to swoop in and bring her to her senses.

However, I felt that this version took something away from Vanessa, which is something that is important to all this:

Vanessa is selfish.

She is selfish for wanting that Snatcher just accepts Moonjumper and gets along with him. And also getting potentially back into a relationship with her since she was trapped for 300 years in her mind, so she technically is still the Vanessa right before the freezing (plus like 2 weeks of slowly adjusting to the new Subcon).

But Snatcher wasn't. He had a mindful journey of 300 years of experiences that changed him. He is Snatcher now, not that naive young man anymore named Phoenix Burnbright.

So, to give the hint for this, I shifted the text so that Vanessa is aware of how selfish she is. And Snatcher knows this too because he uses Moonjumper to stop Vanessa from turning the room into a fridge.

Not himself, or the Subconites, or anything else. He chose Moonjumper to stop this as quickly as possible. Oh and of course, Snatcher acknowledges that it technically makes sense from Vanessa's POV to have these wishes.

Who wouldn't wish that everything can be solved that easily?

Wait, I just realize that Vanessa isn't as delusional about life as you maybe think now. It's true that she probably has a false sense of real life because of Moonjumper allowing her to have beautiful dreams each night, but she also had to dance around her mother Elizabeth for 10 years, so she knows not everything can be just solved with the snap of a finger.

Also unbeknownst to Elizabeth, she technically prepared her daughter for the harsh would of the nobles, lmao. Y'know, putting on a mask around other people to keep your real thoughts a secret.

But yeah, Vanessa isn't screaming for Moonjumper to stop this bad dream but instead states very clearly that "If you [Snatcher] can have an emotional outburst, that I should be allowed to have one too."

And so I shifted it to exactly this. At least I think I did. I know my writing, but it always depends on the readers if the author managed to get their point across.

Thanks for reading, hope my text wasn't a tangled mess :'D

AHIT-Being Happy

Hey everyone!! I got another story for my good best friend @erekiosuncreativeideas! This time for her story, Being Human which is based off of @doodledrawsthings OTH AU! I wanted to write a bit of what happened after Snatcher broke the Time Piece.

Hope you love it Erekio!!

Also you guys should check out Erekio’s story Being Human as well as her other stories like Reliving an Old Nightmare! You’ll definitely get a good read from her works!

Enjoy!!

“I wish to be happy.”

Those were the last words Snatcher said before slamming the Time Piece on the ground. A bright light flashed into Hat, Bow and Moonjumper’s eyes. The trio covered their eyes and as soon the light faded, they looked at Snatcher in shock.

Right in front of them was Snatcher; not ghost Snatcher not kid Snatcher, but Prince Snatcher.

The former ghost looked at himself in surprise as he saw he was human again wearing the same clothes he wore before he became a kid during the battle with Vanessa.

Hat Kid slowly walked towards Snatcher, and stood there for a bit before Snatcher grabbed the young girl and pulled her into a tight hug. The young child felt tears in her eyes, as she slowly wrapped her arms around Snatcher and buried her face into his shoulder. The former ghost had tears forming in his eyes letting out a sniffle as he held the young girl in his arms.

“So,” Hat Kid started. Snatcher slowly let go of his grasp and looked at the alien child. “Are you staying like this then?” She asked.

Snatcher took one more good look at himself and smiled. “Yeah, kiddo.” Snatcher answered. “Hope that’s alright?”

“Oh cool. Yeah, that’s okay I guess.” Hat Kid replied. Snatcher gave a soft chuckle before letting the young girl go. He then looked at Bow and Moonjumper, now holding hands ready to be teleported back to the ship, or in Snatcher’s case; home.

Just before they could teleport Snatcher turned to see Hat Kid collapse on the ground, breathing heavily. Her face red, and she started to sweat despite it being cold outside. “K-kid? Are you alright?” Snatcher asked, worried about the state the young girl is in.

Hat Kid couldn’t speak, just letting out a few moans as her eyes slowly opened and closed. The last thing she heard was Bow’s cries and Snatcher calling her name before passing out.

Back on the ship, everyone was outside Hat Kid’s room waiting for answers on the young girl’s health. They all agreed that it was due to the kid frozen by Vanessa, and from what Moonjumper told Snatcher she was the first to freeze. The guilt ate at the ghost that he couldn’t save the young girl in time.

“I’m.” Moonjumper started, but Snatcher put his hand over the ghost’s, which caused him to look up at him.

“I forgive you. It wasn’t your fault.” Snatcher told him. Moonjumper gave a smile at the former ghost. Soon the trio heard the door open and Cooking Cat coming out.

“How is she?” Bow Kid asked, rushing towards the cat chef. The other child was worried for her sister, more than Snatcher was worried for the kid. It didn’t surprise him, Snatcher knew those two have stuck together like glue for like forever.

Cooking Cat put a paw on the young girl’s shoulder. “Hat Kid is fine, she doesn’t have a high fever. Just a day or two of rest and she’ll be back to normal.” She explained.

Bow and Snatcher both sighed in relief seeing Hat Kid wasn’t in too serious condition. Snatcher was glad he didn’t have to lose another loved one due to Vanessa. “Could I go see her?” Snatcher asked. Cooking Cat nodded and allowed the former ghost to check up on his obligated contracted bff.

Hat’s room light was dimmed, except for a small lamp turned on. The child was lying down reading through a book of fairytales, however at times she let out a cough and after coughing she’d shiver and pull the blankets closer to keep her warm.

“Hi kiddo.” Snatcher said.

Hat Kid looked up and smiled. “Snatcher!” She exclaimed, in a hoarse voice. Though that appeared to be a mistake as she coughed harder. The former ghost quickly went towards the child, and rubbed her back to relax her.

“Don’t push yourself kiddo, you're sick.” Snatcher told her. Hat Kid nodded and lied back down. She closed the book and placed it right between her and Snatcher. “How are you feeling?” He asked as he pushed a stray hair from her face.

“My head no longer hurts,” Hat Kid started. “but my stomach hurts, I still feel hot, and my throat hurts at times.” She explained as she rubbed her neck.

“Well don’t worry, Cookie said you’ll be fine in a few days. Just some rest and her cooking should do the trick.” Snatcher explained. Hat Kid giggled before letting out a cough. She nodded, as her throat felt hot to speak. Snatcher thought for a second, and got up to leave the room. “I’ll be right back.” Hat Kid nodded and lied back down to wait for Snatcher.

Snatcher then made his way to the kitchen to see Bow and Cooking Cat making some soup for Hat. Moonjumper was sitting down watching the two cook. The moon ghost turned around hearing Snatcher come in. “Oh Snatcher! Is Hat alright?” He asked again, making sure Hat Kid’s fever didn’t spike up.

“She’s fine, but I just need to make her something for her throat.” Snatcher explained.

Cooking Cat smiled. “Well, you're in luck. I’m making some soup for the kid.” She told him.

“I’m helping!” Bow added.

Snatcher smiled and nodded, seeing that will help Hat Kid. He then went over to the pantry and looked for some tea bags. “ So do you have any tea bags or tea leaves?” Snatcher asked.

Cooking Cat nodded and opened a drawer and pulled out a few tea bags. “Here.” She said. Snatcher smiled and looked through the tea bags. Once he found chamomile tea he quickly grabbed a mug from the shelf, opened the tea bag and soon went to boil some hot water.

Once the tea was ready, Snatcher poured it into a cup and put a spoonful of honey. However, his tea wasn’t done yet. “Do you have any fruit or berries?” He asked.

“I know where they are!” Bow exclaimed. She got off from her stool and went over to a basket where a bunch of fruit sat. Snatcher looked at the fruit and found oranges and lemons. Just what he needed! Carefully, he cut slices of the fruit and put it in the tea.

“Perfect.” Snatcher said.

“Here.” Cooking Cat started. She brought over a tray where the soup was and Snatcher put the tea next to it. “Careful, don’t spill it.” She warned him. Snatcher nodded, knowing he was careful and quickly went to Hat Kid’s room.

The kid was still awake, not getting an ounce of rest as her fever kept her from sleeping. She heard her door open and saw Snatcher with a tray of soup and tea. “Cookie, made you some soup and I made you some tea.” Snatcher said. He then handed the tea to Hat Kid, and the steam opened her nose.

She took a sip and her eyes widened at the taste. The chamomile mixed with the citrus made her throat not hurt as much. It wasn’t fully better, but at least it won’t be as painful. “This tea, it’s good!” Hat Kid exclaimed. “Hey! I can talk better!”

Snatcher chuckled. “My mother made me this tea anytime I was sick, and if it helped me. It could help you.” He explained. Hat Kid smiled, thankful Snatcher did this for her.

She then took a sip of her soup, and it felt like her body warmed up a bit. She let out a happy sigh as the tea and soup were making her feel better. After finishing her meal she felt she would be able to talk to Snatcher. “Snatcher,” Hat Kid started.

“Yeah kiddo.” Snatcher started.

“What are you going to do now?” She asked. Snatcher was confused by Hat Kid’s question. “I mean you choose to stay in prince form, but now you're no longer a noodle ghost, what are you going to do about souls, contracts, everything you were when you were a ghost.” She explained.

Now that she mentioned it, Snatcher was for certain he’d still rule Subcon, but now that he can’t steal souls or poof up contracts there will be some changes to Subcon soon. “Well,” He started. “I’m still going to rule Subcon, but…” His voice trailed off.

“But?” Hat Kid asked, tilting her head.

Snatcher chuckled and turned away. “It's nothing. Its stupid.”

“I won’t know if its stupid unless you tell me.”

Snatcher turned to Hat Kid, and looked into her eyes. They were filled with honesty and care. This little time traveling alien and her sister cared so much for him. He never felt this care since he still had his parents, who are now long gone and during his early days with Vanessa.

God this kid was turning him back into a softy. “Well, would you like it if you and Bow came to live with me and Moonjumper in Subcon?” He offered.

Hat Kid’s eyes widened and glistened with tears. D-Did she just hear her BFF right? Was he offering her and Bow to live with him in Subcon? “Y-you want us to live with you?” She asked.

“W-well that’s up to you! I-if you need to head back to whatever planet you came from t-then its fine-oof!” Snatcher stuttered until Hat Kid pulled him into a hug. Snatcher was confused until he heard sniffling from the young girl.

“I’d love to Snatcher.” She whispered. If she wasn’t so sick right now, she’d be cheering, bouncing off the walls. Snatcher blinked, and smiled as he pulled Hat Kid closer to him.

All this time he dreamed of having a family. He and Vanessa always talked about having a little princess or a young prince, and watching their child grow. However, after the incident he’d given up on having a family, even the Subconites and Dwellers were never seen as children to him, just minions that were told to do work around Subcon.

When Hat and Bow came to Subcon, he just saw them as more fools to do his contracts and at the end steal their souls. However, he secretly grew to care for the two kids, even if they do cause mischief and he denies that he did care for them.

However, after turning human again and spending time with these kids, he did show his care for them, especially Moonjumper. However, the thoughts of losing them again worried him, as he remembered Bow crying locked up in a cage, and Hat Kid and Moon being frozen ice statues right in front of him.

“Does this mean I can call you dad?” Hat Kid spoke up. This snapped Snatcher out of his thoughts, and was now blushing in embarrassment.

“W-Well I mean? If you want to, b-but I-I don’t mind. J-Just your sick and well-” Snatcher was sputtering so much nonsense that it made Hat Kid laugh a bit, despite letting out a cough or two. Snatcher gave a small smile and pulled the young girl close to him. “You can call me whatever you want.” He said.

Hat Kid nodded and hugged Snatcher once more. “Okay, Dadtcher.” She joked. Snatcher laughed and hugged the young child close, snuggling her. Hat Kid giggled and was soon put back to bed. Once she was back in bed she handed Snatcher the fairytale book she was reading. “Read to me, please?”

Snatcher chuckled. “Alright.” He took the book from the kid and turned to the story Hat Kid was reading earlier. Before he could read it, the duo heard the door open to see Bow and Moon right outside. With a smile, Snatcher asked, “Want to join me?” He asked.

Bow nodded and ran towards Snatcher sitting right next to him. Moonjumper floated by and sat on the pillow pile as Snatcher went to read the fairy tale to the girls. As he read the story, Hat Kid quickly fell asleep and soon Bow fell asleep on his lap. He should have stopped reading and let the two sleep, but he continued.

This was his life now, and he was happy for it!

I need some English Breakfast Tea.

Some english breakfast tea hot and ready!

I actually posted a drawing to this particular scene a while ago

She wasn’t sure how long she cried in the rain, but suddenly the water stopped and she looked up.

“Eclipse….” he held an umbrella over her with an ashamed look on his face. Black goo dripped from his hair onto the ground.

She scowled and looked away from him, “Go away.”

“I’m… sorry…” he frowned, “Sorry just… A while ago… someone dyed my hair without permission so I’m a bit touchy… I shouldn’t have lashed at you.” his voice was soft and he knelt down.

“Eclipse….” he reached to pet her face as she huffed, “Come back, please? The girls and Moonjumper are worried. I don’t think I’ve seen that demon freak out this much in a while.”

“No.” she huffed, “I’m better here…the woods is the best place for an ugly beast.”

He jolted at her words, “You’re not--”

“If you think you’re a monster and hideous; then I’m even more monstrous and-and ugly.” her voice cracked. She pulled her head from him as he chewed his lip. “At least you’re able to be called beautiful and handsome… I’ve never once in my life….”

“Eclipse come home, please?” he asked as he shifted the umbrella to grip her face with his hands, “I’m sorry. I am.” he pleaded. “I should have put my potions away instead of leaving them out. You were doing your job as a cleaner… Okay? I’m sorry just... Come back home alright?”

She leaned into his hands, she sniffled as fresh tears pooled in her eyes. “I… no this was my fault... I shouldn’t mess with your things…” she whimpered, “I’m sorry….”

“Just come help me get this gunk from my hair okay? Call it even?” He gave a soft smile, “I’ll give you coin to go buy some good honey in the market. And I know of a good apple seller.” he watched her tail begin to wag, “I’ll even go buy you a nice thick steak.”

She huffed and flicked her ears, “F-Fine. B-but you better keep your wo--rd?!” she yelped as he moved and picked the beast-woman up. She gripped at him in her shock, “W-What are you doing?!”

“You ran, didn’t you? You must be tired.” He smirked as she rested her head on top of his and he used magic to hover the umbrella.

She flicked her ears back embarrassed, “Y-You shouldn’t be carrying a beast like this…” she huffed as he walked back, “Put me down.”

“Are you sure you don’t want to be carried by me?” he hummed, “I thought a girl would like to be carried by someone she called handsome?” he teased her.

She pushed his face making him drop her and smoothed her skirt annoyed, rushing ahead, “I-If I was a beautiful young maiden perhaps! But I’m just a wolfish spinster!”

He held his face as he scowled some. He walked behind her into the castle and shoved the umbrella in the rack.

Do you think you could male some hcs for snatch and mj with a s/o who has a messed up sleep schedule? Like theyll stay up late at night and sleep through most of the day?

Ah, so an S/O with a sort of insomnia? Or, like you said, just a messed up sleeping schedule adsfghjk (AKA: Like me, guilty as charged!) And of course! I’ll even throw in some general sleeping HCs with the ghosties for ya!

Both Snatcher and Moonjumper make sure to ask S/O, everyday, if they got enough sleep last night. Snatcher, being the tsundere he is, says he just wouldn’t want them passing out on the job, of course. But both him and Moonjumper want to make sure that S/O is getting the right amount of sleep. If not, both ghosts will drop whatever they’re doing and give S/O some time to rest. They’ll tuck S/O in, if they so desire, or either ghost can just sleep right beside S/O, watching them to make sure they get enough sleep (ghosts don’t necessarily need sleep, but either Snatcher or Moonjumper will fall asleep next to S/O if they feel relaxed enough or if it helps S/O with sleeping)

Both Snatcher and Moonjumper pull out all the works if that’s what it takes for S/O to get to sleep. Moonjumper makes S/O a pillow fort, with star-patterned sheets (that even glow in the dark!) as the roof, and only the fluffiest, coziest pillows and blankets. With a giant heap of pillows inside the fort along with a comfy nest of blankets, Moonjumper offers to tuck S/O in and cuddle next to them while the rest. With Snatcher, he feels like there’s no comfier place than his armchair, having S/O curled up in his lap, wrapped up snugly in a blanket burrito while he reads, or maybe even sing, to them to get them to sleep. But if that isn’t comfortable enough, Snatcher can shapeshift into his full size (which is 20 frickin feet), lay down somewhere comfortable, and just let S/O just sleep on top of him, with him wrapping his arms around them and letting them use his, now almost giant, floof as a pillow.

If S/O keeps themselves up at night because of any electronics (you know who you are, person reading this), Snatcher has a nasty habit of stealing it, whether it be a phone, game console, etc., and hiding it/keeping it hostage until S/O finally gets some decent rest. He never admits to doing it, of course, claiming that S/O must have misplaced it. But isn’t it strange how S/O always manages to find it again once they get enough sleep? Hmm... (also, if S/O is determined enough, Snatcher might just decide to be a mega jerk and switch off the wifi, because of course he would)

If S/O’s sleep deprivation is due to them being an insomniac, Moonjumper, luckily, has a solution to that! I’ve mentioned it briefly before, but Moon actually has the ability to hypnotize! He doesn’t use it often, but if S/O is struggling with getting enough sleep, Moon will offer to hypnotize them so they can rest peacefully. But only if they ask, otherwise, Moonjumper will just offer to sing them to sleep. He’ll hold S/O close in his arms, with them being wrapped up in their favorite blankets, and sing to them softly to lull them to sleep, brushing through S/O’s hair softly and doting over how peaceful they look while they sleep.

Going back to Snatcher, if stealing S/O’s electronics wasn’t enough, he also hides all their stashes of caffeine. Basically, any coffee or caffeinated drinks that S/O usually drinks to keep themselves awake? Yeah, all of those have suddenly disappeared. Snatcher, however, will offer them a substitution with a glass of warm milk, hot cocoa, or tea, usually chamomile tea, instead! (Moonjumper also offers S/O a nice cup of tea if they’re feeling sleepy, but he doesn’t resort to hiding all the caffeine like Snatcher does)

Both ghosts try to get S/O on a decent sleep schedule, setting them a bed time and even giving them napping periods throughout the day. It isn’t easy of course, but they try their best, reminding S/O of when they should get some sleep. Snatcher even stops S/O before they go to complete their contracts, and Moonjumper prepares a sleeping space for S/O if they really need it. And if they really need to, if S/O is too tired to walk properly, Snatcher/Moonjumper will offer to carry S/O, before bringing them to their sleeping space and tucking them in. They’ll leave S/O be until they’ve gotten enough rest, or sleep beside them until the morning comes.

If S/O’s sleep deprivation is due to excessive nightmares or night terrors, both Snatcher and Moonjumper will be by their side in case they wake up. Snatcher/Moonjumper will cradle S/O in their arms and, if it was an especially bad dream, shush them gently and reassure them that everything’s alright and they promise not to leave them. And since the ghosts don’t need to sleep, they’ll offer to stay awake and help S/O if they start having another nightmare (or, in worse case scenario, a case of sleep paralysis), whispering to them that everything will be alright and that they promise to keep them safe.

Alternatively, even though they don’t need sleep, even the ghosts get tired every once and awhile. Snatcher and Moonjumper find it very touching when S/O takes them by the hand, telling them they need some sleep, and even offer to cuddle with them. With Snatcher, he’s always over-working himself, denying that he needs rest and putting his work first. But if S/O forces him to take a nap and offers to rest with him, Snatcher doesn’t hesitate to curl himself around S/O like a snake and finally, finally get some much needed rest, nuzzling against S/O and hugging them close like they were a plushie, purring in his sleep. With Moonjumper, he’ll also try and deny that he needs rest, wanting to spend more time with S/O. But when S/O insists, he’ll admit defeat and sleepily ask for cuddles, cuddling up to S/O’s chest and falling asleep right then and there, because he feels so safe and at peace when they’re in his arms and vise versa. (Both might occasionally mumble S/O’s name in their sleep, smiling and/or giggling afterwards)

(This isn’t an original HC of mine, it belongs to @/fedoraspooky, the inspiration from this post!) Very rarely, Snatcher will shapeshift back into his human form (AKA: The Prince) in his sleep without knowing. The first time S/O mentions it, he denies it, of course. But once he starts becoming more comfortable around them, he’ll accept it and shapeshift into his human form when he want more intimate cuddles, holding them close and sleepily telling them how much he loves them. (He stills purrs when S/O brushes their hands through his hair though, and it’s adorable!)

(Since I’m personally a sucker for Moonjumper having legs) When Moon has legs and he’s sleeping with S/O, sometimes he wraps his legs around theirs in his sleep. Sometimes it’s a bit of an awkward position, especially if the two of them are spooning/cuddling, but it’s also kinda cute! Moonjumper is especially a big hugger and cuddler in his sleep, even though he’s not really aware of it afterwards. And if S/O offer to sleep next to Moonjumper, and they somehow wake up before he does? They’d better prepare to be there for the next hour or so, because Moon will have a tight grip on them in his sleep. On the plus side though, he make the most adorable noises in his sleep, humming and breathing softly (even though he doesn’t need to breath), sometimes nuzzling closer to S/O for warmth and letting out a sigh.

Are you accepting headcanon requests? Well, I'm sick and i need my favourite characters to suffer with me so give me some sick headcanons! (aka how they're most likely to get sick, how they handle getting sick, etc.)

I am so sorry! I should have gotten to this sooner, but I’m still happy to oblige!

Hat Kid: She’d probably get sick doing regular kid stuff, like forgetting to wash her hands or going outside and playing in the rain. She’s most likely going to catch just a common cold. But that doesn’t mean she’s not going to be a miserable blanket burrito the entire time, while CC nurses her back to health.

Bow Kid: If she is to get sick, that is a very rare occurrence. She’s a bit of a germaphobe, and carries around stuff like hand-sanitizer everywhere she goes! So if she ever catches sometimes, it usually isn’t pretty. CC help her get through it, and makes tea to soothe Bow’s throat if she’s feeling sore! It helps her bunches, since she likes tea.

Mustache Girl: Can get sick very often, until CC forces her to become more hygienic. Living in a cave for such a long time doesn’t exactly boost a person’s immune system. So she’s about the same as Hat Kid, except she doesn’t want to stay in bed to “rest”. She needs to fight crime! (Don’t worry, CC gets here to stay in bed eventually)

Mafia Boss: If he ever gets sick, it’s probably from eating so much seafood. So yeah, the man isn’t smart and he gets food poisoning or just a stomach bug. He’ll disappear for awhile, trying to still rule his Mafia Town but not showing his face anywhere. If he were to be sick, and his Mafia men found out? Preposterous! He needs to be a strong leader! But that also means the sickness takes forever to go away, since he’s stubborn and eating fish doesn’t help-

Cooking Cat: Rare that she ever gets sick, since she’s quite healthy and stays at home more often. So if she is to catch something, it’s probably the same bug that one of the girls had when she was taking care of them. And the trio try their very best to help her! Bringing her ice packs, making soup for her, and tucking her into bed while being on their absolute best behavior.

Conductor: Sick? Ha! There’s no such thing in Conductor’s case! Well...there is, but he’s better at walking it off than other people. The only problem is whenever he’s throwing up, then it’s obvious that he’s not doing so well. But since he doesn’t want that to get in the way of movie-making, he forces himself to go to work. Grooves is usually the one to bring him back home to rest, even though Conductor is very adamant about not wanting to lose another award.

DJ Grooves: If he’s sick, he’ll most certainly stay home and take care of himself. Even if it means losing a bit of filming time. The last thing he would ever want is to get his own actors or any of the staff sick, even his rival! And even when the sickness goes away, he’s still paranoid about getting sick again. So he prepares, getting any kind of supplies and medicine if he starts feeling any symptoms.

Snatcher: How does a ghost get sick? Nobody knows. But for some reason, Snatcher can get sick. (Apparently at the same time as Moonjumper.) The sickness can be normal, like headaches, coughing, sneezing, that sort of thing. Or on a bad note they can be almost otherworldly. Perhaps it’s another negative reaction to eating souls? Well, one thing’s for sure, you don’t want to be around when he sneezes. Unless you want to get struck with magic lighting, that is.

Moonjumper: If he does ever get sick, it only happens once in a blue moon. (Haha, get it???) But even then he’s absolutely miserable during the whole thing, wrapping himself up in blankets and refusing to go anywhere else. Hat Kid will try to take care of him along with Snatcher, but Moon insists that he doesn’t want to get his starlight sick. (Even though mortals are unaffected by ghost sicknesses) But eventually HK helps them both recover. And for some reason, Moon asks for glasses of water even though he is a ghost. He says it helps.

(By the way, I hope you get better soon!)
