#i enjoy making him creepy

'I don't know what you're-a trying to say…' Peppino sighed, exasperated. He went to turn away, when-

'Pe-Pino.'

The voice… it was his voice, but the cadence was just slightly off. An imperfect mimicry, but close enough that it immediately fired every panic neuron in his brain at once.

---

A little piece of writing to nail down the vibes im going for with my interpretation of Fake Peppino! Having a normal fun day in the kitchen where nothing uncomfortable or weird happens.

---

'Pe- pi- no.'

Peppino tried not to flinch when he felt the heavy wet hand on his shoulder and the voice gurgling in his ear. Deep breaths- okay. He inhaled sharply and grit his teeth, bracing himself before he turned around.

It hadn't been easy, getting used to… that thing. Fake Peppino, as he had been calling it in his head. But he did feel admittedly a little guilty for destroying the tower- its home, really- and it didn't ask to be made like that. Still, he wished it hadn't decided to stick around sometimes. He'd spent an entire week just trying to make sure it didn't attack him on sight! And even then, it STILL chased him from time to time...

But he had reached an uneasy accord with his doppelganger, or at least thought so. He seemed more sedate at any rate, and Peppino had even managed to talk it into helping in the kitchen- which is where he was now, spreading a ball of dough thin with his knuckles, before he was so rudely interrupted.

He turned and forced a smile, trying to cover up his nerves with fake confidence. Ghh- he never got used to seeing him. His fake looked like him, but… uncanny. Stretched. Something wearing the wrong size of his skin. It made a weird bubbling noise- Peppino had come to learn that was its 'excited sound'- and grasped his wrist to tug him to the other side of the kitchen.

'Okay, o-kay! Slow down- whats-a the rush, paisano? What do you want to-a show me?'

Peppino tugged his wrist free and returned his hands to their comfortable position, tugging nervously on his tank top. Fake Peppino had dragged him over to the pizza oven. It was a great brick thing- a traditional piece and easily the most expensive thing in the whole restaurant, but also something he would never sell. After all, what kind of a pizza chef would he be without his pizza oven?

His clone straightened up then, drawing an involuntary shiver out of Peppino. It looked at him. Peppino looked back. He briefly made eye contact, watching as the fake's right eye slowly dribbled down his face- he glanced away before it started to make his heart pound any louder.

'Ah… what? What is it?' He mumbled again, shrivelling a little under the unyielding gaze. He may have been his clone, but they apparently didn't copy the part of him that hated prolonged eye contact, ugh. He chanced another look. His double was looking at him almost expectantly.

Suddenly, he raised an arm- quick enough to make Peppino flinch. But he didn't strike. He simply pointed- one finger poking Peppino in the chest. Then he moved his hand to point at the oven, the heat of which was beginning to make even more sweat bead on his forehead.

'I don't know what you're-a trying to say…' Peppino sighed, exasperated. He went to turn away, when-

'Pe-Pino.'

The voice… it was his voice, but the cadence was just slightly off. An imperfect mimicry, but close enough that it immediately fired every panic neuron in his brain at once.

'Peppinos. Pi- Za.' The fake nodded, looking pleased- then slapped one hand down on Peppino’s head, crushing his chefs hat down and drawing a yelp of surprise out of him.

'Peppino. Pi-zza.' The words sounded smoother as he rolled them around his mouth, smiling wide enough that his teeth looked as if they were about to drip out of his lips. He pushed Peppino a little closer to the oven- his heels dug into the ground instinctively. The heat was oppressive... 'Peppi-no. Pizza.'

Peppino froze. He had learnt not to run- bolting only excited his fake. He stood stock still, even as its face slowly lowered to his. His eyes widened- there wasn't anywhere else to look but into his own distorted visage, the oven's heat only causing it to drip more. Oh, god, it was dripping everywhere…

His hands balled into fists, ready to react, but his body seemed stuck. Damn his freeze instinct-! He held his breath as his fake tilted his head curiously, and then laughed. A bubbling gurgle, face practically split in two.

'Pizza. is. Peppi-no.' He said, happily. Peppino couldn't bring himself to figure out what exactly that meant, because the only idea he had right now- well, the heat wasn't helping, and his vision was blurring, and it wasn't good…

'Peppino. Pizza. Nothing. Compares!'

All of a sudden, he was pushed back. Away from the heat, a cold blast of air hitting him as the doppelganger shoved him. All at once Peppino’s body reacted, scrambling back along the floor and breathing- wheezing, really- trying to get enough air in his lungs so he didn't pass out. All the while he watched as the wax figure of himself dripped like a candle in the heat, spun on its heel happily and giggled.

'Not- yet!' It smiled, face still firmly turned to look at Peppino even as its entire body twisted 180 degrees to stick to the nearest wall- his neck creaked with the strain, more of its doughy flesh sloughing off onto the floor as he moved away from the heat.

'Cook.' It's hand found one of the open vents- it's favorite hiding spots. 'Let him. Cook. Not ready!' It smiled, eyelids squeezing shut happily over misshapen sockets, tongue lolling out the side of its mouth.

'Later? Pizza later. Nothing Compares...' He mumbled, voice softening as Peppino could only watch in wide-eyed terror as it folded itself in half to slide into the narrow vent- he'd seen it many times but he still wasn't used to it. The wet sounds of a body moving in ways it shouldn't, the scrape of the metal... As it pushed itself into the darkness, Peppino saw its face- his face- the last thing to disappear.

'Peppino. Pizza...? Soon...'

And then it was gone.

He didn't move.

Honestly, he stayed on the floor for an uncomfortably long time.

After what felt like hours, his body finally decided to return the feeling to his joints- and all at once he scrambled upright. What- what was that? He thought…

He thought he was reaching… some kind of agreement with that thing. But clearly it was still far, far beyond his understanding. And what it said- no. No, Peppino shook his head violently. He didn't want to think about it. Because if he thought about it, it sounded an awful lot like...

No. No, no, no. That was silly. He just needed to get back to work. He needed to push this out of his mind and forget it ever happened.

He stumbled over towards his pile of pizza dough. Looking down at it, he couldn't help but feel… uneasy, suddenly. A wave of strange nausea rose in his chest.

Maybe… maybe that was enough pizza for one day.

#pizza tower #peppino spaghetti #fake peppino #set post-game where fake peppy wouldnt leave the pizzeria so peppino just has to deal with him now #haha! im sure thats fine peppino! dont worry about letting your guard down around him again! #do i even have a writing tag? i dont remember #BUT UM...

thinking about floyd and riddle spending their first halloween as a couple together... i think floyd absolutely loves how varied and lively all of the different halloween traditions he's learned about since coming to live on land are, and he wants to try out as many of them as he can each year. so when riddle tells him that his mother always made him stay in his room studying on halloween, and that the only halloween activities he's ever done were those that NRC students were required to participate in, floyd decides that the two of them are just going to have to spend the day doing everything they possibly can. riddle tries to say he's far too busy for such things, but floyd will not let it go and honestly riddle is only half-heartedly protesting anyway because he secretly did always dream of doing the things that other kids got to do on halloween, and maybe it wouldn't be such a big deal to take one day off and spend time with his boyfriend.

so, riddle never got to make jack-o-lanterns? floyd decides to "borrow" about half a dozen of the pumpkins jade and azul had bought for mostro lounge and takes them to riddle's dorm room. riddle is terrible at trying to carve them at first and floyd can't help but laugh at him a little, but since he knows it's not riddle's fault he's never gotten to do this before, he says he'll show him how to do it. unfortunately floyd isn't nearly as good as he thinks he is on account of having lived in the ocean for almost his whole life and now riddle gets to laugh right back at him. they probably both get the hang of it right as they're down to their last two pumpkins.

riddle never got to go trick-or-treating with his childhood friends? floyd texts trey and convinces him to get in touch with chenya as well so that they can all go together. when they approach the first house, in the costumes they had prepared for each of their school's halloween events, riddle starts to get nervous and asks if they aren't all a little too old to be doing this. floyd shoves several huge handfuls of candy from that person's bowl into his and riddle's pumpkin-shaped buckets and tells him it's not like there's any rule that says they can't, and besides, riddle is such a cute little goldfish that he practically looks like a kid in his costume anyway! chenya stifles a laugh while trey has to stop riddle from committing murder that night.

riddle's never gone to a haunted house before? floyd and chenya both think it would be hilarious to make him go to one, so they do. riddle absolutely hates it, but it honestly does make him happy to see everyone else enjoying it--even if floyd and chenya both keep trying to egg him and trey on and get them to go down creepy corridors and check around corners by themselves, and even if floyd keeps running off to different parts of the haunted house and then coming back and hugging or even lifting riddle from behind knowing full well that he'll get freaked out by it.

riddle never got to play the apple bobbing game that's traditional in the queendom of roses? turns out there's a place right by the haunted house where they can go to do it! predictably, floyd is great at it while riddle ends up drenched without getting any apples, but just giving it a try is more fun than riddle expected.

riddle's never gotten to make candy apples before? luckily, trey knows an amazing recipe as well as what combinations of toppings work the best, and he's willing to teach them both! riddle gets very confused at imprecise directions such as being told to use "a few" drops of food coloring on the syrup or to drizzle "a little" white chocolate over it, and keeps asking trey exactly how much he should use. floyd thinks this is adorable. he also thinks it's adorable when riddle tries to scold him for ignoring half of trey's directions and just doing whatever he thinks sounds good.

riddle's never done a horror movie marathon before, or even seen any halloween movies in general? floyd insists that they marathon at least 3 movies together. after the experiences he had at the haunted house, riddle doesn't think he'll enjoy horror movies, but he tries to keep his cool throughout the first one anyway... which does not work out, because he really can't handle jumpscares or excessive gore. during the first movie they watch, floyd (who loves slasher films so much that he laughs and cheers every time the monster gets a kill) is happy to let his goldfishie cuddle up to him and grip onto his arm to keep himself from knocking the popcorn bowl onto the floor, but you know that once it's over riddle is getting teased relentlessly about how scared he was. floyd decides to be nice and put on something tamer for their next two movies, and riddle actually ends up really enjoying coraline and especially beetlejuice.

by the end of the night riddle realizes that they've stayed up way too late at night and a small part of him wants to scold floyd for keeping him up so late, insisting on having him do all of these silly activities and eat all of these terribly unhealthy snacks. another part of him wishes he could scold his mother for keeping him from doing any of these things as a kid, with his friends and the other kids in his hometown, the way you're supposed to do it... and another part of him still is just incredibly happy and grateful to floyd for finally giving him the chance.

#twisted wonderland #twst #riddle rosehearts #floyd leech #florid #floyddle #floyrid #floydriddle #floyd x riddle #riddle x floyd #man i wish the twst fandom agreed on ship names and tags lol. i think that's all the ones i've seen. #also YES i AM still posting halloween headcanon posts after halloween #sorry if this post is dumb and ooc. i may have a canon url but i do not claim to be a riddle expert much less a floyd expert #BUT i really do think riddle would enjoy animated halloween movies and more lighthearted horror comedies like beetlejuice #especially since beetlejuice has Rules. the ghosts have rules for the afterlife and even beetlejuice himself Has to follow rules. #so it's comforting and easy for riddle to understand #and i think floyd enjoys slashers and thrillers and such MORE than those types of movies but he will make compromises for his bf #because as much as he loves teasing him he doesn't want riddle to be like Actually Upset or to have a bad time #plus maybe i'm just a baby but i think coraline is genuinely pretty creepy even as an adult lmao #okay anyway. if it wasn't already obvious i love them <3

In retrospect I wonder if OUAT had like, a huge fundie/conservative white mom audience and that's why it was Like That and Rumbelle turned out the way it did

#the sheer sexlessness of Belle as a character trying desperately to use her Pure white girl soul to save him #to actually enjoy Rumbelle as it was after like mid season two you have to be repressing some shit #I'm convinced #it's very much a “what if I wanted to fuck this creepy demon man but I can't accept that within myself unless I make him bland” vibe #rumbelle would have worked better if she was fighting a real desire to be kidnapped chained up and railed by an evil guy #like what if she thought his power was sexy and had to come to terms with it huh #OUAT #Rumbelle

Any more headcanons for that oneshot you made where Bill is Ford's familiar? How does Ford react to Bill getting close to his nephew? How does Bill use this to his advantage? If Dipper can't get a slice of Bill's power, how does his magic shape up in the end?

Sure, why not!

This got longer than I wanted, so it's under a read more. Also, here's the link to the snippet in question.

I think that Dipper and Bill end up hanging out a lot, honestly. Dipper's a lonely guy, and Bill's bored out of his angles, so he's going to be on at least sorta decent behavior, since Dipper's providing more entertainment than he's had in decades. (Ford is unaware of this)

Still very much Bill, though; he absolutely tries multiple tricks in the book to try and get Dipper to break him out, or subtly trick him into getting Ford into a fatal accident. Dipper's been warned, though - I don't think any of them work!

Eventually Dipper gives in and offers a deal: He'll banish Bill back to his realm (He's been trapped in a basement for thirty years, no surprise he wants Ford dead, that sort of thing just straight-up sucks-) as long as Bill doesn't harm him or his family. Bill, once again in a terrible position to bargain, is happy to get the hell out of reality rather than be stuck in a circle for another decade or so.

This.... probably ends up in a pretty big fight between Ford and Dipper. Once he notices Bill is missing. If the Stans weren't already at odds, that'd be the kicker to set it off.

Little does Dipper know, but now that Bill's 'free' - he's gotten his stuff in order, hummed a little tune to himself - and decided it's the perfect opportunity to start courting that cute little mortal in earnest.

#answers #Ford's still bonded to Bill and that'll be true until he dies #But since it likely wasn't an accident in his case he doesn't have Mindscape access #His prisoner has escaped and he's absolutely furious. Does Dipper have *any idea* how much havoc Cipher could cause #Dipper meanwhile has gotten Emotionally Attached at some point and goes off about maybe keeping PRISONERS for thirty years is fucked up #Dipper has a restless night of upset sleep #And wouldn't you know it Bill pops in with some creepy gift (flowers?? A screaming head? In a bouquet of flowers) #What can he say? The kid's real cute. He's been pretty decent company. He betrayed his uncle for Bill!! VERY Sexy of him #And MAN that MIND #He's straightening his tie and spritzing cologne on as he comes up with Date Ideas #Cue: Dipper Not Getting that Bill's 100% after him romantically now #Bill might be stuck with a familiar bond to Ford but since he's not powering THAT guy #Nothing stops him from going 'aw you're cute. Have a little magic why don'tcha' to Dipper #Like a rich man slapping a huge wad of cash in their partner's hand and pinching their butt while they tell 'em to go shopping #Demons *can* give power to mortals - they just don't usually do it without taking something in return during a deal #I enjoy the mental image of Bill taking a page from Hua Cheng's book and going 'oh you need some energy?? Sure!!' #'We gotta lock lips to make the transfer though so pucker up' #Dipper has no reason to question this statement even if he is skeptical #Anyway it probably all works out well in the end! With presumably Bill causing chaos more directly this time #Dipper all not realizing he has a crush until Bill shapeshifts human one time and he goes 'oh no I'm in danger' #I should stop before I get tempted to write this #I have other stuff to do damn it

I had decided for some reason it would be a great idea to sit down and watch the Rob Zombie Halloween remake with my family for a family movie night, I feel like that’s such a Ed thing to do lol.

#it’s so funny to think of everyone being terrified of the movie while Ed just silently enjoys it with a smile :) #he wouldn’t care how gruesome it is #he’s in his own world #everyone is just living in it #ed edd n eddy #eene #eene ed #his mom would probably get so mad at him for somehow sneaking that movie into the movie night #I feel like she would be a really religious woman that would freak out of the sight of anything slightly creepy #that makes me wonder if she ever goes in Ed’s room #she would probably make Sarah go in there any inspect for her or some crap

May I request a viktor humphries x reader

You absolutely can and I do hope you do not mind but I am going to use this one as an excuse to write down some soft Yandere Viktor Humphries thoughts

Just a bit of Practice

Vikor Humphries X GN!Reader (Reader in Bea's place as a Rancher)

In which the Slimeulation works as intended

Viktor's fingers made rapid movements across his keyboard, filling in lines and lines of code, running them, and then deleting them to replace with better strings. He'd been working on his Simulation, Slimeulation, of the neighboring ranches for years now. To help his fellow ranchers, of course, keep track of slime migration patterns, weather, highly populous areas where Tar are most likely to occur, and possibly rare slime spawns.

That was the original intent of the Slimeulation, at least.

Now, instead of mapping and charting all of his neighbor's land, he focused in on one, making absolutely sure he got down every detail of their land.

One may think he chose their ranch to simulate because it happened to be the most bio diverse, spawning nearly every time of slime, chicken, fruit, and vegetable known on the Far Far Range.

One may also assume he mapped out the entirety of their land without the new owner's knowledge to study the Ancient Ruins hidden deep in the property behind two locked Slime Doors, perhaps to unlock the secret of possible Far Far Range Natives long extinct.

Perhaps he was studying the near perfect weather conditions, or the abundance of materials hidden in the Dry Reef, or the spawn rate of rare bewildering Slimes such Twinkle Slimes and Party Gordos.

All of these assumptions would be wrong, however, as Viktor had gotten all that information by studying along side the previous owner, Hobson Twillgers, who had sense sold his property to move on to green pastures.

So then what, one may ask, was Viktor Humphries obsession with this particular ranch?

"Oh! Hello, Viktor." A voice greeted as the scientist, and amateur musician, booted up his Slimeulation for the 227th time today. He'd get it right this time he thought to himself as he pulled on his simulation goggles and entered his perfectly engineered world.

The first thing he saw as the simulation loaded in around him was the reason for his obsessive mapping of the ranch, perfect sculpting and detailing of the dried old reef and overgrown Slime Forest.

You.

You, oh you, oh so glorious you, with your ranching gear and vac pack and a large straw hat for the sun. You smiled over your shoulder at Viktor, a Tabby Slime held comfortably in your arms.

Even knowing it was a simulation, that you weren't really standing there, smiling brighter than the sun just for Viktor, greeting him like he was any old somebody you talked to daily, Viktor's cheeks burned red, his throat dried out, and he begun to ring his hands.

"H...Hey..." He'd practiced with you, this you, over and over to be more causal. Breaking down his usual Greetings and Salutations for a much more relaxed "Hey", sometimes a "Hello". One time a "Sup", that had not gone over well, as far as the data showed.

"Hey." You chuckled at him, releasing the Tabby you'd been holding loose into the corral filled with other grey cat-like slimes, who all proceeded to pounce the new guy. "What's up? I don't think you've ever actually visited me before."

He had, many times. You, this you, just didn't remeber. They'd been reset after every failed attempt. Days, Months, one time a year of simulated bonding wasted, down the drain, because of one little slip up, an argument, a miscommunication, a glitch in the code. Not this time. You'd be perfect this time.

"I thought it time I properly introduce myself." Viktor spoke, a little more clearly this time, "In... Person...." He trailed.

You hummed and tilted your hat back, looking up at Viktor. Despite knowing it wasn't really the real you, Viktor still felt the need to avoid eye contact, tangling his wingers together as you examined him, a trait that bled through every update, and though it put him on edge every time, he put up with it, for accuracy. For you.

You beamed and took a large, nearly falling down large, step forward, taking Viktor's hand in yours, "Well you'd be the first, you know! Not even Twilligers came back to meet me face to face, ya know. Guess that's why we move out to the Far Far Range, huh, to get space."

Viktor resisted every urge to grab you, to hold and hug and kiss you. This may be a simulation but there were still boundaries, rules. He had to work back up to that, even if he had it just yesterday.

"How 'bout some tea? I got cookies and jam too." You offered, turning tail and walking confidently to the small home plopped dead center in the middle of your ranch.

Viktor flexed his hand, the one you'd been holding moments ago. He slightly cursed himself for forgetting to take his gloves off. He then took a steadying breath, and followed you, "I-I wouldn't want to impose..."

He would, and he had, previously. But you'd always reacted better, insisted he stayed longer, when he hesitated to join you in the first place.

"No imposition, it'd be nice to have someone around for a bit." You stopped on the stairs to your home and looked back at Viktor, he rung his hands, avoiding eye contact, and continued to hesitate, just a little longer... just until you offered- "I've got Royal Jelly~"

Viktor snapped to look at you, eyes shining with interest. The look on your face made his ears burn as he quickly looked away, "W-Well, if- if you're offering..."

You smiled and turned, heading into your small home, making a call back for him to come on in, make himself at home.

Usually Viktor would be right on your heels into your small home. He would close the door behind himself, and bask in the gentle warmth of it all. He'd stare at your unmade bed by the window, the torn and hand mended pink slime plush. He'd be overwhelmed by your scent, taking a seat at your small ranch table, commenting on the fire slime sat snugly in the stove, keeping the room warm.

Yes, normally Viktor would be enjoying a lovely cup of herbal tea with an entire honey plort melted into it and a toasted bagel with royal jelly across from you, oh so sweet and radiant you by now. Instead he was staring at a pink slime that didn't quiet look right.

He watched it move much more artificially than the rest of the slimes, almost short teleporting rather than the usual gliding his slimes did. It appeared pixelated around the edges, jagged and harsh like glass, nothing like a slime should be.

Then it touch a pole, and that pole was gone, replaced with black nothingness that, like the slime, was horridly jagged at the edges.

Viktor shot up right at the sudden void he was facing. He took a step to the left, and despite his movement he stilled faced the broken nothingness dead on. He circled it, and it remained perfectly flat and ahead of him.

"Viktor?" You stepped back out of the house, seeking what was taking your visitor so long. You didn't seem to react to the broken world. Perhaps you were incapable of seeing it, being a part of the Slimeulation yourself.

"Ah, s-sorry I..." Viktor looked at the broken space again, then began to type on his wrist keyboard, "I a-actually have something urgent I need to get to..."

"Oh.." You sounded so incredibly disappointing, and Viktor wanted nothing more than to stay, or perhaps take you with him. But he couldn't. This you wasn't real. He had to remember that. "Alright.. Maybe.. next time?"

Viktor nodded, and pushed off the simulation goggles just as the machine shut down.

He leaned back into his chair, something was eating away his code, mostly the landscape, some of the slime's behavior patterns, and large chunks of textures.

You, or the data that made up the Slimeulation version of you, were safe. Triple encoded and backed up four times over. You'd be fine, and as soon as he got this strange glitch figured out, he'd be back to have that sweet honey tea and royal jelly bagel in your little too warm but just the right size home.

It wouldn't take long, Viktor Humphries, lord of jinxing himself, thought as he got up and stretched. He'd been working on the Simulation for hours, and his drones could only keep the lab running on their own for so long.

He'd get up, refill their water, check on his slimes and his research, perhaps put up a call on the range exchange, see if you, the real you, respond. How wonderful that would be, to get something from you, from your ranch, so far yet so near.

Viktor Humphries let out a long sigh as he stretched out his arms above his head. As soon as the simulation was perfect, as soon as he was ready, he'd go to your ranch, your real ranch, and have tea with the real you.

He just needs a bit more practice.

WAY TOO LONG. but also feels like scenes would be very short then skip to the next day #I liked how the first half of the book was just developing the relationship as a friendship. #there’s a conflict at 50% and they literally are terrible to each other for almost the entire rest of the book #also the conflict of why they can’t get together feels manufacured. #he feels like he (21) is too old for her (18) and while i’m like…yeah I understand that im iffy about it too; #as the reader we know they’re going to get together anyway. so it just feels stupid. and made that way just to cause a conflict. which lasts #too long. #2) #then men are SO overprotective to the point it’s kinda. not creepy exactly but like why the fuck can none of these women go anywhere without #a dude accompanying them? the MMC even. when she tells him to leave her alone (because he rejected her) he’s still being all protective and #and calling her sweetheart like I started to actively dislike him. it’s like. borderline manipulative ‘nice guy’ #THEN it threw in a SA at 80% or whatever which. a) can we not SA our ace characters and b) is just not handled well. it feels like an excuse #to make them hurt/comfort and then get together aka end their conflict. which. oof. #3) #‘i was looking up why i dont want sex and i saw the word asexuality but couldn’t find much else maybe the GSA could help’ #you can’t use info-not-on-the-internet as a plot excuse when. there is endless info about that on the internet? I don’t think this is set in #2005? also she doesnt even go ask the gsa #while her sex repulsion is a significant part of the book actual references to asexuality are extremely brief and half of it is shoved into #the last chapters. and it’s almost entirely her being self hating and the LI affirming her #anyway I can see the INTENTION is good here; the quality of writing just makes it all bad #like maybe these things are the author's experience and that's fine. the way it's written is uncomfortable. #i can tell all the 5* reviews are people who have never read an ace book before. i promise there is better #i think there’s gonna be a companion sequel about her roommate being aroace which. I don’t have super high hopes for writing-wise but I gues #guess I'm interested

at one point i started making a tiny functional yellow guy finger puppet. i greatly underestimated how difficult this project would be, especially considering i committed to sewing most of it by hand despite having almost 0 sewing experience and not even having correctly colored fabric (i had to paint him with acrylic). unfortunately, i lost interest before finishing and he sat there unfinished for awhile.

at some point i just kinda half-hazardly slapped on the half finished hair just so i could consider him finished even if i'm not at all satisfied with the end product. just now i put a squishmallow hat on him which i think does a decent job of covering up how messy the hair looks. anyway here's some pics (angled to cover up the messy bits as best as possible) just so i can call this project done and not feel like all that effort went to waste lol

#overall i'm not COMPLETELY dissatisfied with how he came out #he's a lil scrunkly guy #a bit creepy but i guess that fits the vibe of the show #before i lost motivation i did have a lot of fun making him #and i definitely learned a lot from it too #it was fun getting to try out a new medium and practicing so many new things #turns out i did really enjoy sewing and i do plan to practice that more #just maybe next time i should start with something simpler than an entire functional puppet on such a tiny scale #this guy is like 5 inches tall standing up #oh yeah btw i didn't even use a pattern or anything #completely made up everything on the spot and figured it out as i went #anyway i should probably stop writing a whole essay in the tags oopsie #dhmis #don't hug me i'm scared #yellow guy dhmis #dhmis fanart #don't hug me i'm scared fanart #aacart

You know also in regards to things said in that particular comment (though this one is very widespread throughout the whole fandom)… people’s intense hatred of Shinobu is so clearly rooted in misogyny

#‘she was mean to giyuu so I HATE HER’ #‘she’s so creepy it makes me uncomfortable’ #‘she hides her emotions and it’s so hypocritical’ #look me in the eyes and tell me if y’all did not find an incredibly intelligent male character obsessed with revenge and hiding #a deep rooted anger behind a veneer of kindness yall would not be OBSESSED with him #like I’m not saying you CANT dislike her for any reason but the hate she receives is SO disproportional esp considering how Fucked Up so #many beloved male characters in the series are #like if you enjoy douma sanemi Obanai Muzan Akaza or Gyutaro but hate shinobu??? #I am squinting heavily at you there’s something going on there #kaz rambles

Friendly reminder that Andrei is SHORT, Pierre is FAT and Natasha is a LITERAL CHILD IN THE BEGINNING OF THE BOOK. I am so sick of adaptions ignoring these details.

#Short king Andrei when??? Fat fuck Pierre when??? #I'm not saying that they should have a 13-year-old be all lovey dovey with a bunch of adult men because well now that would be creepy #but at least acknowledge the fact that she is a teenager? #I mean most of the actions she has done has to do with her age #no actresses above the age of 25 can nail her character imo #denee benton may be an exception but I mean it's theatre so age matters less #yes this is about bbc war and peace #Lily James hasn't done a poor job it's just a poor casting choice #they tried to make her look younger but she just doesn't look like a teenage girl #and when paired with the overly baby-faced Dano Pierre I'm just. sorry what is this? #she looks older than him in the later part of the show and it just feels so WRONG wtf #then we have James Norton who is way to tall to be Andrei #Callum Turner and his stupid hair cut. they really did him dirty with the hair. he's actually not a bad Anatole #Helene's dresses... stop #looking back this show is such a mess #I genuinely enjoyed it at first but watching it again is a bad bad idea

How do I convey to my brother that the entire time I was working on my collection of short scary stories the thing I was most excited about was him reading it and it honestly really hurt me that he read the first story (after me basically begging him to) and all he said was "wow that's...creepy" and never picked up the book again? I think I'm going to make a meme

#like i understand that he's not a big fan of reading #but im his sister #i make him snacks all the time #my stories arent even that creepy #he's enjoyed movies that were way scarier

it is EMBARRASSING how much i lose my mind when people notice things about me

#'lose my mind' is maybe an exaggeration bc i am very good @ keeping contained with it lmfao #but i should not still be thinking about literally months ago when i was having a conversation with someone about how he was #able to make eye contact more than usual and i said something like you've probably noticed that i also don't like making eye contact #and he said that he had noticed and that i should know that most things that were observable he's probably observed about me #and i said that i knew because i observe him observing #THAT'S RIDICULOUS THAT'S A RIDICULOUS EXCHANGE IT'S STUPID AND IT WAS SILLY AND BIZARRE #and it wasn't personal because we both observe everyone equally i think like it's not a him observing me specifically thing #and if it was it'd be weird and creepy but like . there's still something about that isn't there there's something #about the fact that someone somewhere notices that you don't make eye contact but also notices you in general #it's about existing in the world as a person who is seen by other people and knowing you exist to someone at least #while you're in front of them both you and they are real and it's significant because you're both bringing it up #that night as a whole should not take up so much of my brainspace #yes it was a lovely night yes i'm glad it happened but idk that it should be such a big thing for me............ #to be fair it's a much smaller thing to me than it was after it happened so it will just fade away as time passes and i have #more interactions with other people and also this guy but idk it is something that was/is significant to some extent #idk the thing is it was very personal but it also wasn't That personal i think like we truly just happened to be the last #ones left and people who enjoy conversation like that was it #anyway it's bizarre knowing that there's someone who you see more days of the week than you don't that does notice things

maybe a weird question to ask esp since stranger things is a tv show with real live people playing fictional characters but do you imagine/think of the characters exactly the way the actors look like? like idk for me maybe it’s because of the way i enjoy fanart a lot but in my head eddie doesn’t really look all that much like jquinn. steve and robin look slightly different from jkeery and maya hawke. i do think it’s also because of how all these people play characters way younger than they are and look so it’s like. well in my head dustin and mike and the kids still look more like 2016 actors than 2023 actors because they’ve grown up more than the characters did. if that makes sense! anyways yeah i wanted to know what you thought i’m just curious cuz i haven’t rly asked anyone so idk if this is common at all.

ask is getting long so u dont have to read all this but yeah maybe it’s because i spend more time thinking about steve than i do like. hopper or whatever but when i say they look different i mean the features not just the age. like obviously they go hand in hand but like. yeah it’s like they share a canvas (joe keery) but its not the Same yk. and like. it’s not about making steve or the others more attractive to me personally bc despite steve being described/implied as attractive it’s just about how he looks like to Me. if that makes sense. umm yeah i don’t mean this to start like. discourse or whatever just a silly ask. also last time i sent an ask (steverobin drawing ideas) and u said i love you and it’s like we don’t know eo or talk or anything but i need to say i love you back bc i Do so true. anyways love you always enjoy reading your posts..! yeah

HM no yeah i get what u mean... i do not picture them very clearly in my mind either way but i do imagine them generally as the actors if only bc i have jkeery's face branded into my mind behind my eyelids eternally. if not maybe a bit younger which is potentially devastating... 24 year old joe keery playing 17 year old steve harrington looks like such a little guy to me but that is objectively more what he looks like throughout the events of the show it would be so tragic... i also have a problem w my art where sometimes i will do a direct study of jkeery but he won't be beautiful enough he'll look too much like jkeery. which is funny.

#asks #also i love you AGAIN ! heh #and i enjoyed reading this ask <3 #i do get what u mean though. i also do imagine steve like with his scars generally bc i draw him that way 🤔 #but the character is very distinct from the actor in the prison that is my brain even out of Designated Character Wardrobe so maybe i dont #like. run into the same problem. i also get what u mean about the kids though theyre so growed up now.. #i literally sound so dumb when i say steve is a whole other guy from jkeery but he IS!!!!!! hes a whole other guy from KEYS even #even though they objectively have the same haircut. and are obv the same guy #but thats steve!!!!!!!! #in s5 theyre gonna do that creepy superimposing facial cgi to make them all look younger #sts

just a rant, completely ignorable x

#seriously it’s just me venting #cause fucking hell #i just had to block a 30 year old man who used to come to the gym i worked at #he was visiting the island for a couple weeks and i like new patrons and i was always friendly #so we got to know one another a bit and while he was there i enjoyed his company cause he was goofy and stupid #but also seemed like a good guy #like didn’t want to leave when one of the customers was being creepy before making sure i was okay #or assuring me if i needed anything he was there #because i had ended up telling him about some of the shit that would happen at my job after an Incident #anyway #he was fully and explicitly aware of how much i get creeped on #and expressed sympathy and concern #his last day was my day off and i didn’t see him #but he’d told me if that happened i could text him goodbye cause his number was in the system #so i did that #told him to tell his friend i said bye too but he hadn’t given me permission to access his info #and then he kept texting me #gradually got creepier #then it hit valentine’s day and he called me ‘pretty lady’ and i resolved to stop answering #over five months later and he won’t leave me the fuck alone #i couldn’t block him because i was worried he’d come back to the gym and it would be more uncomfortable #so i didn’t #then tonight he texted me again #so i finally blocked him #but i just feel so fucking stupid for not seeing it coming #like fucking hell #why are men like this #i’m so over it #anyway that’s my rant because that really shook me tonight :)
