I did NOT get up this morning just to look at the river near my house and get so confused about how it was flowing with the ice on top, only to eventually come to the conclusion that “They must’ve just turned the river on. Because it’s morning.”
I think a part of my brain is stuck in Arena-mode because idk who would be turning rivers on in the morning other than the Gamemakers...

See if Mary didn't quit after being told by the new married employers "going to an asylum brb here's money and the key until we return" and then days later being telegrammed "back in a few or never xo" and then she sees them back home like two months later, irrevocably changed, then it'll be fine... Alternatively, she took the payment and moved to Switzerland
If the Harkers' track record holds steady, their sheer magnetic 'these are my Harkers now' vibes will keep Mary and anyone else on board.
They are sweethearts and at worst she has to stop them from trying to do her duties right under her nose, the little workaholics. It's like shooing cats out of the pantry, but with the added trouble of somehow convincing your former-lower/middle class employers that no, honest, you can let the people hired to take care of the house take care of the house. Don't you touch those linens. No, put the broom back. Out with you! Shoo! Go write something somewhere!
Worse (better), they are scrupulously tidy and organized. Hawkins was no slob, but he was careless and a bit slower as age and the gout went to work on him, poor fellow. The Harkers leave scarcely a mote of dust to sweep or a book askew.
(There are scads of books now, Mary notes. Walls have been eaten whole by bookcases. They welcome everyone to their thickening library--their biggest vice with money in their pockets is an ongoing mutual affair with the booksellers.)
Other times, she and the cook will turn their backs for one moment and discover the Harkers have gone and made dinner before anyone else can set foot in the kitchen. Mrs. Harker is a talent by way of practice, while Mr. Harker is one by way of sheer love of cuisine. Mina sees to English favorites while Jonathan replicates dishes harvested from the Continent, always in generous helpings. The Harkers eat with the staff with the same ease as if they ate with family.
(Hawkins was a cordial old fellow, but he always did dine alone while the help had their own meal at another hour. And, Mary and the rest are stunned to discover, the Harkers regularly have an actual lord, his friend the asylum-running doctor, and a renowned international polymath of a mentor over for supper. Casual as anything. Mary had to get smelling salts for one of the younger girls the first time she realized, yes, that was in fact Lord Arthur Godalming at the door.)
The Harkers have their strange features, of course. Traits and habits and, don't laugh, a few superstitions they've ingrained in the edges of things...but it really is leagues away from the worst of what other households must suffer from their owners. The Harkers love their home and the people it came with as dearly as kin. Ardently so.
(Mary once saw Mrs. Harker throw a Look like knives into the head of a man who tried to accost one of the girls weeding the garlic and rosebushes in the garden. While the man was trying to puff himself up and not sweat under her scrutiny, Mr. Harker manifested at the top floor's window, opened it, and then scaled down the wall like a spider. This he did with his kukri knife ready, that accessory forever at his hip just as the revolver lived in Mrs. Harker's reticule. The man had fled. The Harkers had stared after him with lambent eyes before seeing if the girl was well, would she like to head in for a rest..?)
The Harkers are strange.
The Harkers are uncanny.
And the Harkers are not about to lose Mary or anyone else under that roof any time soon.

If the BSD boys were my coworkers
Tumblr media
♡ characters: Atsushi Nakajima, Dazai Osamu, Chuuya Nakahara, Akutagawa Ryuunosuke, Kunikida Doppo, Ranpo Edogawa, John Steinbeck, Edgar Allan Poe
♡ synopsis: How would these boys be if they were my coworkers?
♡ cw: Swearing, knives, mentions of sexual harassment
note: For clarification I'm a retail assistant at a grocery store. So basically how good are these boys at stocking vegetables and being nice to people? This is extremely self indulgent, which I apologise for. Also apologies for errors and I hope you enjoy x
Tumblr media
Atsushi:
Would be so good with helping customers. I'd always be calling after him to get me out of trouble with mean old customers lol
Like me would also be bad with the wrapping machine T-T
Pretty good at his job, not totally brilliant but also not bad. I think it'd be fine if I were left alone with him for a little bit
The kindest coworker I could ask for honestly he'd always be there to help me if I needed his help
Would bring me back a snack or cake from a nearby bakery or cafe from his lunch break <3
Like me, would find it very hard to not just start eating all the fresh fruit while he's stocking it (I kin him a lot guys lmao)
Actually like super duper efficient and we'd be able to get our work done pretty quickly. The last half hour or so of our shifts would be so slow
Would always ask me to be careful if I were using a knife to do something because he's just a sweetie
Dazai:
This dude would be so damn slow when restocking food honestly and it would be infuriating lmao
Wouldn't be very thorough when checking stock so I'd probably be finding a bit of rotten fruit while working :'(
He'd be fun to hang out with in the back though, would definitely flirt on company time and hold the both of us up lol
Would do that thing where you stand behind someone who's trying to reach something in a high shelf and you'd get it for them but also lowkey lean against them. All the time
Would be good at remembering which stock we have and what we don't have though
He would be so good and charismatic with customers, especially old women they'd call him a charming young gentleman and all that stuff
Always forgets to bring his shit (nametag, pen, apron etc.) to work and would probably have to continuously borrow things
The thing with him is that he's legitimately good at all of it but he just chooses to be incompetent just because T-T
Chuuya:
Would be so. fucking. GOOD at this job holy shit.
Super good at wrapping stock and would get the hang of all the machinery and stuff immediately
Would be civil to customers unless they give him shit then he'd give it right back lmaoo
He would definitely also defend me if I was being bullied by Karens or being harassed by male patrons (during the daytime there's my adult male coworkers and then there's me, a small girl who looks like fifteen or some shit. Y'all know I be gettin called 'sweetie' by men four times my age)
Would always be very salty about having to use the step to reach stock on high shelves lol
But he'd also be super good at heaving and lifting heavy stuff like potato sacks which I'd have to get him to do for me because I'm weak
Would look so hot in the work uniform highkey
Like the number one coworker I won't lie
Akutagawa:
Akutagawa has a serious case of resting bitch face, so customers would be too worried to approach him lmao and I'd have to help everyone
He makes up for this by being super duper good at presentation and so I'd never have to go around and organise things because they'd always look pretty lol
Probably uses his ability to help him carry things (but only in the back because that would scare customers)
Despite his fighting talent he would not be able to cut vegetables. He would be so confused with it. Same with the wrapping he wouldn't be able to get it right
Would prefer to wear gloves while working
If Gin ever came in to grab some groceries he'd talk to her for a little (and treat her better than all the other customers T-T)
Actually wouldn't be so bad to talk to while working but he would literally never initiate any conversations or small talk
Focuses so hard while he's working and it's honestly so cute
Kunikida:
He would be both good to work with but also crappy to work with hear me out
He would be great at remembering stock, helping me with customers, and helping me reach stuff on high shelves because at work I'm considered short
But he'd also hound me for being too slow or not stacking stuff correctly
That being said, he would always answer any questions that I'd have and explain things to me in a way that I'd understand :)
Works like a machine. I'd never be able to catch up to him at all (and he would hate that)
Would not want me bringing snacks or drinks to work but like what's he gonna do? Waste perfectly good food? Didn't think so Kunikida >:)
Even if he had a super long shift he'd just never tire and always be buzzing (even if he were tired he'd be great at concealing it)
Let's just be glad that he's not working alongside Dazai
Ranpo:
WOULDN'T GET ANY GODDAMN WORK DONE
I love Ranpo to the moon and back but he'd be the most useless fucking coworker of all time
He wouldn't make lists, he wouldn't grab stock and if I'm LUCKY he'd work out the front of the store. He'd use any excuse to stay in the back and just use the label maker and maybe cut vegetables because of how low effort it is
Would be super fun to hang out with if we have nothing to do though. We would talk so much shit about mean customers we encounter and stuff
He'd also bring sweets to work and let me have some sometimes, but only if I nag him about not doing any work
Would stay in the fridge just to breathe out and see mist come out of his mouth (and would also forget to close the fridge door)
Knows the layout of the whole damn store after walking through it ONE time
In conclusion I'm snitching to Fukuzawa
Steinbeck:
Absolute fucking BEAST. This dude is a farmer so he's able to rotate and complete quality checks at lightning speed
Honestly probably wouldn't need much training if any at all. He'd be the employee of the month on the first day
I feel like I'd have tons of free time at the end of my shifts because he'd just finish all the work so fast
Could use his ability to replenish stock. He could, but he won't. Just because he's a bit of a bitch (and people might not want to eat literal flesh vegetables but y'know)
Hums along to the songs that he knows on the radio while he works
Is good at being civil with customers but if they give him lip he's not gonna be as civil for much longer
Always bantering with our other coworkers and DEFINITELY talking shit about annoying customers in our free time
I mean if I want to not have to do very much work on a certain day I'd hope that I'd be working with John lol
Poe:
Would take a little while to get used to it all, because I feel like he's not the type to memorise a bunch of stuff super fast
Would be overwhelmed by customers and might freeze up on them; I'd have to come in and save him
Otherwise, he might just default to 'I'll go to the back and check for you' so he can escape the situation (same)
Would take pretty long while restocking food because he'd want to make it all look nice lol
He'd be scared of the wrapping machine (it has a hot plate to seal wrapping and he'd be scared of burning himself on it)
Might actually always be miserable because he's not allowed to bring Karl to work and so he'd feel lonely :(
He and I would talk about our niche interests when we're finished and have nothing else to do
I mean he could most definitely be worse. No matter how bad he'd be I'd love him anyway
Tumblr media
i will do a girls version of this btw

Darling Jonsas, context is very important when providing quotes. So, some things:
A portion of Jon VI, ADwD is the aftermath of Jon learning that "Arya" is off and married to Ramsay. Anger...
By now she'd be eleven, Jon thought. Still a child. "I have no sister. Only brothers. Only you." Lady Catelyn would have rejoiced to hear those words, he knew. That did not make them easier to say. His fingers closed around the parchment. Would that they could crush Ramsay Bolton's throat as easily.
...bleeds to distress and frustration:
Jon felt as stiff as a man of sixty years. Dark dreams, he thought, and guilt. His thoughts kept returning to Arya. There is no way I can help her. I put all kin aside when I said my words. If one of my men told me his sister was in peril, I would tell him that was no concern of his.
[...]"Snow," muttered Lord Mormont's raven. "Snow, snow."
Suddenly he could not suffer it a moment longer.
...
Mully and Kegs stood inside the doors, leaning on their spears. "A cruel cold out there, m'lord," warned Mully through his tangled orange beard. "Will you be out long?"
"No. I just need a breath of air." Jon stepped out into the night.
And obviously occurs in others:
"You're not scared?"
The girl smiled in a way that reminded Jon so much of his little sister that it almost broke his heart. "Let him be scared of me." (Jon X, ADwD)
--
Jon walked to the edge of the Wall and gazed down upon the killing ground where Mance Rayder's host had died. He wondered where Mance was now. Did he ever find you, little sister? Or were you just a ploy he used so I would set him free?
It had been so long since he had last seen Arya. What would she look like now? Would he even know her? Arya Underfoot. Her face was always dirty. Would she still have that little sword he'd had Mikken forge for her? Stick them with the pointy end, he'd told her. Wisdom for her wedding night if half of what he heard of Ramsay Snow was true. Bring her home, Mance. I saved your son from Melisandre, and now I am about to save four thousand of your free folk. You owe me this one little girl. (Jon XI, ADwD)
--
"I have made mistakes, I have admitted as much, but—"
"A grey girl on a dying horse. Daggers in the dark. A promised prince, born in smoke and salt. It seems to me that you make nothing but mistakes, my lady. Where is Stannis? What of Rattleshirt and his spearwives? Where is my sister?" (Jon XIII, ADwD)
When Jon thinks about the representation of his heart, which is equated to his sister, it's not about Sansa:
"The heart is all that matters. Do not despair, Lord Snow. Despair is a weapon of the enemy, whose name may not be spoken. Your sister is not lost to you."
"I have no sister." The words were knives. What do you know of my heart, priestess? What do you know of my sister?
Melisandre seemed amused. "What is her name, this little sister that you do not have?"
"Arya." His voice was hoarse. "My half-sister, truly…" (Jon VI, ADwD)
George is not playing 5D chess here, like at all. What you see, especially in this case, is exactly what it is. His personal torment, his despair and pain over "Arya" over the latter half of his ADwD chapters is not even remotely about Sansa, nor has it ever been. Arya is not a "proxy" for family, Jon considers her his heart, and he her home.
This should not have to be told to anyone. No one should have to be told that the relationship Jon and Arya have cannot be interchangeable with other characters, but here we are.
Stop lessening their narrative and emotional importance to one another.

[A video file is attached. It appears from the surroundings that it is still being filmed within the Cerulean City Gym, though some of the lights are off, the pool is covered, and there is no sign of Misty. Instead, there are a couple of pool chairs pulled out. One is empty, and has Maria pacing behind it.
The other holds a (visibly sulking) Vera.
"To be entirely clear," Maria says, turning to the girl in question, "we are on the same side here. I know you stole something from Team Rocket. I need that something in order to root them out and determine what it is they are up to in the Power Plant."
"And if I tell you where I stashed it, you'll take it and leave me behind," Vera grumbles. "Why the Gym, anyway? Are you Misty's girlfriend or something?"
"To my understanding, she already has one of those. As I suppose, technically, do I." Maria pauses. "It's quieter here than the Pokémon Center, and Misty said it was fine by her so long as I locked up the place once I was done."
"That's—why'd she let you, though."
Maria hums to herself, weighing her options. "Because I am the new Champion of the Indigo League and technically her boss, I suppose."
"You. You what."
"I'd appreciate you not sharing that further, because as far as Team Rocket knows, the Champion is still Lance, and they almost certainly would take advantage of the transitional period if they knew that there was one to do so."
"I'm not a fucking snitch." Vera glares at the covered pool. "You're not the only one with a grudge against Team Rocket. You're taking them down. I want in. Don't ask me why."
"Very well." Maria leans on the back of her own pool chair, looking Vera up and down. "I have the strangest feeling that, if I turn you down, you will in all likelihood go after them on your own regardless."
"Yeah." Vera shifts her glare to Maria. "So if you want to be a hero or whatever, if you want to keep me safe, then take me with you."
Maria almost—almost—smiles. "You remind of someone else."
Vera visibly stiffens. If Maria notices it, she doesn't react. "Yeah?"
"He's close to your age, perhaps a little younger. He declared me to be his rival in battle shortly after I began to train Pokémon at all, a declaration that rather baffled me at first, until it occurred to me why."
"...Why."
"I'm honestly not certain whether anyone had ever been kind to him in his life, before that." Maria frowns deeply at her own words. "But everyone is worthy of kindness. Even those who believe they do not deserve such kindness. Especially those who believe they do not deserve it. He... looked up to me, for some strange reason, and this led to him attempting to take on Team Rocket on his own."
Vera makes a vague noise of acknowledgment, no longer looking at Maria, who seems to take this as a sign to continue.
"They nearly killed him, and he was younger than you." Maria's tone is sharper than some knives. "If I hadn't followed him, he would have died there. Team Rocket likely still believes him to be dead."
"Wait, they do?" Vera interrupts. "But you said nearly."
Maria breathes in. Breathes out. "They did kill him. His own father, he... he didn't hold back against his own kin. I rather doubt that Team Rocket would hold back against a stranger, either."
"Okay." Vera's voice sounds a little shaky. "Where are you going with this?"
"If you want us to do this together, then we are doing this together," Maria says, extending a hand. "Because it will be dangerous, I'm significantly less killable than the average human here for reasons that I will elaborate upon if you wish, and I don't want you—or anyone else—being hurt by them again."
Vera stares at her. At her extended hand.
At last, she mumbles, "Yeah, Ho-oh probably wouldn't bring me back again, would they."
Maria's brow furrows, though her hand remains where it is. "How did you...?"
"Know Ho-oh was involved?" Vera grins. It's a familiar expression, one Maria has seen before on another small child with red hair and a similar amount of inner rage. "I said that if I was dumb enough to be in Kanto, I wouldn't be using the name Silver. Unfortunately for both of us, I am actually that dumb."
Maria stares at her, mouth falling open.
From behind the camera, there are a series of very triumphant Gengar noises. To those capable of understanding the speech of Pokémon, they would hear Ade exclaiming, "I knew you looked familiar! I fucking knew it!"
But, of course, neither Maria nor Vera—Silver?—can understand the speech of Pokémon, and so Maria simply glances over with a faintly amused look in her eyes.
"Anyway. It was mostly my idea. Don't blame Ethan for it." Silver sucks in a breath. "And it's worked great so far. No one's recognized me. Not even you!"
"I am starting to think," Maria says mildly, "that I would not recognize my own face in the mirror if I did not know better."
"Okay. That would be really funny though... anyway. Um. While we're in Kanto, it'll probably be easier if you just... pretend I'm some girl? No connection to Silver at all."
Maria slowly nods, as Silver finally—finally—takes her offered hand.
"I can do that," Maria says.
The video ends.]

band camp boyfriend headcanons because I am normal:
Tom has in fact played ddlc and his favorite character is Sayori (friends to lovers is his favorite trope)
Peter is bi and he flirts with girls because he's scared of his sexuality (he does have a preference for women, too)
Clark does a lot of painting in his spare time and he's very artistic outside of band
Tom has IBS. There is no way that man has a normal digestive system with how much shit he eats
Tom knows how to throw knives and use a bow, because he gets way too into video games like Asassins Creed and goes "yeah I can fight like that"
Garth does ballet. That's it thats all.
Poptart also has ibs because I said so
Samuel is very popular with people and even though pretends to be oblivious, he definitely knows and doesn’t really care. Peter is baffled by this
Poptart has committed arson
Poptart is bi curious
Tom has really horrible nightmares at least once a month, especially after what happened during band camp (his route might not be "canon" but IT IS TO ME)
Tom likes to play Megalovania on his trombone and it pisses Clark off
Clark did secretly have a crush on Tom but he knew it would never work out
Tom has adhd (im projecting)
Poptart 100% experiments with pronouns. He collects them. You cant misgender him. he/they/xe/sweet/star + more
Clark kins Donnie from rottmnt
Clark has sensory issues when it comes to textures, making him very picky when it comes to food and clothes (again, projecting)
Cadence, Felicity, Susie, and Olive take self defense classes together
Cadence, Felicity, and Susie LOVE Kpop. Cadence listens to Ateez and Seventeen, Felicity listens to BTS, NCT127, and Stray Kids, and Susie listens to every girl group she can find (but also likes TxT). Tom enjoys some Kpop but is much more of a Jpop guy. Clark pretends to hate Kpop but actually loves it, mainly Ateez (he loves the lore)
Doug is scarily good at Super Smash Bros. He can use any character and absolutely dominate
Aaron is actually kind of a nerd, and is friends with Tom on xbox. He also probably had a furry phase.
Garth had a lot of hobbies but it takes up a lot of his time and he ends up leaving little room for sleep. Garth please sleep I’m begging you
Everyone in this band needs therapy

Hello, saw you were doing match ups so wondered if you'd do one for me, with trigun characters
I'm an 160cm thin girl (20 y/o) with long brown curly hair and blue eyes, kinda look like merida from brave if that helps, enfp
I'm a lot like 98' vash (my biggest ever kin fr), goofing around and having fun, making dirty jokes with my friends, very clumsy and bubbly when in good mood, tho i don't shy away from being tough from time to time
I'm friendly and like meeting new people but keeping connections is my biggest flaw. I mostly keep it going with the ones i click with
I love being around people, but don't mind being alone for some periods of time, reading, watching something, drawing or doing whatever hobby i picked on
I'm an archeology student, have passion for history and literature, love psychology and philosophy, love things like true crime and paranormal stories, definitely would like to travel and see what the world and people have to offer. I'm the "do it for the plot" type of person, getting into random situations for the sake of seeing how it'll end and if i'll have a story in the end
When i was younger i was more like some kind of vash-milly combo, but now I'm more aware of people, i can't stand when someone is judgy from the beggining, when someone is too negative about the world and people, because even tho i myself get disappointed in people often, i still think that we should look for positive things in everyday life. Kind of "if life has no meaning, might as well find meaning in small things"
Sorry if this was too long, thank you if you've read this far ^^ and keep up with the good writing, you're doing amazing!
UWAAAA I'm so glad you like my writing! I've been swamped with work lately, so sorry this is taking a while!!
For trigun 98, I most definitely match you up with Wolfwood! You are just that little ray of sunshine he needs to keep going. Plus, he loves that you and him make sex jokes to each other about everything that you can. You two get kidnapped and held by Knives? Non-stop dick jokes. At first you try to at least mutter them under your breath, but soon enough you're both just spouting them out as fast as you can think of them. Knives is just standing there in shock that you can think of so many in a short amount of time. I also think you two would be like, surprisingly close beforehand. He a big cuddler too (have you fucking seen those titties MMMMM) and I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL BUT WOLFWOOD IS TERRIFIED OF GHOSTS!!! Yall go ghost hunting and he is ATTACHED TO YOU LIKE NO OTHER. Homie is throwing round the holy water like he's a raincloud. You one day dig up and old book and are pretty sure that its haunted? He's hiding being his giant cross and shaking in his tight ass pants.
In trigun stampede however, Vash latches onto you like white on rice. You are exactly what this poor bean needs in his life!!!! You teach him to appreciate the little things, and show him that he's allowed to have wants and needs. He enjoys taking you around old crashed spaceships and letting you go wild with the archeological zoomies. In this universe, you also get kidnaped by Knives so Vash follows to come and save you and once again, you make so many dick jokes. The only difference is that Stampede Knives has never seen a wiener in his LIFE and doesn't get any joke you make. Do with this information what you will. Vash also really likes showing you his Plant siblings when his spilled the alien beans. You'd probably enjoy just quietly hanging with the Plant girlies because they just watch you draw or read or they nap! they are very nice when you need to recharge a social battery but don't want to be completely alone. Vash is also a big cuddler and understands having trouble keeping connections with people!! He's always moving so he gets sad thinking about all the people he wanted to grow closer too.
If we wanted to hit up the manga, then id actually pair you with Legato! I think you'd be just the right person to help him let himself be a better and softer person. Your love of psychology would really interest him, and I think you'd be that enemies-to tolerated-to friends-to lovers thing. He also likes learning about humans and the past, and I think that's he would really appreciate you showing him to good side of humanity through psychology and even true crime by showing how people come together and how people react to catastrophe and stress. He needs to see people doing good things, and you are just the person to show him around the world and prove it to him
ALSO SORRY THIS IS LIKE MONTHS LATE I got another job and started school SOBS!!! But I hope you enjoy!!!!

do you have any headcanons for goggles, jack knife or emo crys? im curious to hear about them!
all 3 characters hgrhrheggrgegegrhr gonna try (this is in the style of ye olde fandom and not like reader blogs)
Goggles
engineering science major (hes not a biologist, he doesnt mess around in chemicals), but boy loves complex math and building things that he's more of an engineering sciences
gay because he engages in anime, comics, and hes even touched fandom because hes's a real fan nerd (he learned that gay ships were a thing and it clicked for him why he wasnt interest in girls)
has a lot more money than you think, but he doesnt really boast about being rich (most of that money is always going into new materials for his family to upkeep the hyperfixations they have) and his actual house is like full minimalist modernism in canon
avid fan of hot cocoa + mini marshmallows (literally from one episode, but it's in my brain forever)
last member to meet the wild grinders, aside from Flip (this was the original intention back in the Ketterville canon but has been reworked to him being Lil' Rob's first friend for the Sprawl City today)
Jack Knife (theres a ton of info on his canon life, but thats another post for another day)
oppossum hugger, he will try to befriend any wildlife that visits his home, will even try to bring said animal to let his friends see
in Ketterville canon, hes actually homeless and his family moves around a lot and hinted that he could live in trailer parks, but personally like to think he has family all over the states and they welcome his family to stay from time to time, he currently stays in one place (his grandmas house) to be near his friends while his family decides to travel for the circus
the most failgirl of failgirls, but is actually a badass when it comes to knives and is skilled at tasks like wood carving and axe-throwing but will set the kitchen on fire he made lemonade
hes not at all a redneck or the american hillbilly stereotype that the Sprawl City canon makes him out to be, he's more of an Oregon lumberjack local whos a little confused, but he does his best to understand others
would cut tires though
he has one berserk button and it's extremely rare to see him angry, but when he is, he will not hesitate to fuck anyone up
but seriously hes the kindest character ever and doesnt care if anyone insults or smacks him around, but he DOES care when you hurt anyone he cares about
100% taurus
Emo Crys (this is my kin, not like a kinnie-way, but more of a 'thats my son!!' way)
failgirl #2, but hes living his best life being cringe and actually giving a fuck about others
in Ketterville canon, he used to just be straight up 'peace was never an option', but he mellowed out after meeting Lil' Rob and learned to not be snarky and sarcastic
the sprawl city canon wants him to be a brony, but really he loves a lot of animals and cares for all of them (but hed suck as a science major to be involved in animal care profession)
doesnt have a good relationship in his family and often sneaks off to be part of the wild grinders shenanigans (it's the reason why we cannot have him wear nail polish) he's doing his best to pass as a goth in his family situation
loves horror and monsters, would happily invite himself in the woods where Mothman is and walk outside at ungodly hours just to meet a cryptid or ghost
thrifts all of his clothes because hes sick of fast fashion and would rather tailor them to his style
scarf was given to him by Lil' Rob as a way of welcoming him to Ketterville (not even canon to the series, but Rob Dyrdek demanded hed have a cute gray scarf and even presented a gray scarf to Chris, the inspiration behind Emo).
secretly loves cats (and constantly gets scratched by the said stray cats)

Fulgurite Dreams, chapter four: Stones Along the Path
Adrian Toomes x Reader. A little smut. Things are coming to a head.
———
(Hey, uh, Mr. T? What the fuck?
Listen, kid. I’ve seen you out there. And you could damn well use a second set of eyes.)
He’ll be okay. He will. He will. It’s just this moment to get through, this gasping wet red mist that catches on his lips and lashes, this not as bad as it looks. Promise.
That’s good, because you look like hell.
He’ll be okay with a few new scars that, given time, will catch on the furrows of his brow and be memorialized there. But tonight blood runs in rivulets down his face and he’s leaning back against the shower wall with his eyes shut tight;
Guess I’m not as fast as I used to be
his belly twitches beneath the spread of your fingers
and I know I said I was done with it all
and he shifts his feet
but it looks like it isn’t done with me.
and brings his hand up to cover yours.
It’s okay to worry about him, mind. He’s a tough sonuvabitch but he’s still just a man at the end of the day: a man who aches and bleeds, a man who’s gonna feel every scrape and bruise in the morning. It's okay if your words don’t come out right, if instead they manifest as a half-spoken can I just that hangs about your lips. He hears the meaning just the same. And what could be better now than his hand guiding yours around his cock, urging you to lean against him and so what if the angle’s off? You’ve got him here where the outside world can’t reach in, where it’s just you and him and the fading scent of copper.
Adrian—
Later, sweetheart. Now c’mere.
Dream about his eyes rolled back. Dream about all the many thoughts that spill like ribbons from his eyes, his mouth, his ears; he whispers none of this is real but all of it is true. He’s tangled in velvet and satin, throwing light in one moment and absorbing it the next. Wrap him in leather, in raw skin still slick with blood and fat. Hold him close, even as he slips through your fingers.
I worry.
I know.
He swallows a strange small sound, a pebble in a deep well; he breathes harshly wet and for a moment his body is unfathomably heavy, leaning on you with the weight of worlds. But his head tilts back to thump against the tile and when he opens his eyes they cut like knives through the shower’s haze.
What are you gonna tell him?
The truth, mostly.
(Kid.
Yeah?
I’m gonna tell you a story, and you’re gonna listen.)
Is it really a secret if they both know?
(For a while, we were enemies. I hope that’s changed.)
If they were both remade by this strange new world, does that mean they’re kin?
(You shouldn’t hunt alone.
I’m not— what’s happening? I don’t get it. )
He stands in the kitchen with a knife in his hand. It’s a warning and a wager: I’m willing to bet these stars can change. He stands and smiles and draws the line: this is where I kill you for your secrets, and this is where I let it go. In his mind’s eye, he flicks the blade and watches close for where it lands.
(Wind’s shifted.)
One for glory. Two for grace. Three for blood and four for bone. Five to fly and six to fall. Adrian throws the dice.
That’s how it is, honey. I don’t like it either but I have to see this through.
(You can’t fight the whole world, kid. What are you gonna do when you have to take a life?
Maybe I won't have to.
And if you do?)
Bone shards reach skyward through his empty eyes; he breathes dust and oil and fuck, don’t let this—he’s okay, he’s okay, it’s gonna be fine — oh Adrian, honey, what have you done?
Same thing I always do, sweetheart: ride the updraft. He whispers thick wet secrets in your ear. It’ll be alright.
(Besides. What would Liz say if I let you do this on your own? Let an old man be selfish. Don’t make me disappoint my little girl.)
I need to put this right. Damn kid thinks he can handle this, but it’s gonna take more than a few webs and some smartass comments. I don’t want him to carry that weight.
Once upon a time, a man walked away from a black-market empire. He took his wings and left his crew earthbound, hungering after that last big job that would’ve made all their dreams come true, that would’ve weighed down their pockets for the rest of their lives. But the thing is,
(It’s like riding a bike)
hunger has a way of driving men mad.
Time to go hunting.

FFXIV Write Prompt #10: Channel
(( Let's consider this backdated to Jak's time prowling the ruins of Garlemald, hunting down basically anyone of Garlean nationality out in the ruins, earlier this year. That would be around the time of Rise, Fall, and Rise Again, and Cold Comfort! She believes in an eye for an eye, after all - she learned quite a lot from the Garleans during her captivity, and having no mercy was part of that. There's a reason I always side-eye Zenos' nihilistic commentary/outlook, because Jak sounds a lot like him at times! But as much as she hates to admit it, her ideology does sound a lot like theirs, at the end of the day: the strong rule the weak/The world is dog-eat-dog. Some days she rises above it! ...but not today. Violence ahead! ))
Tumblr media
"I won't let you -"
"I haven't needed a three-eyed freak's permission in years."
It was exceedingly rare that she chose to engage in banter, during combat - it was, more often than not, a waste of breath better utilized in staying level-headed and ahead of one's opponent. She'd rather have the next three moves planned, than fire off a snappy retort; those came before violence, anyways... like foreplay.
This was a rare occasion, however. It was closure. How many people survived what she had, and got the chance to deliver it back to their tormentors tenfold? She would suffer the bitter, aching fucking cold, if it meant taking her pound of flesh. If it meant delivering unto their people what had been done to hers.
"They need me - and they're all I have left!"
Her heart skipped a beat, and the dark knight's vision swam red - she could taste the bile - but she couldn't stop what came next.
She had, some... years ago, now, been pushed past prior limits, by Ketsuchi. Her fear, his levin... she'd managed to... channel a new ability from her soul crystal with naught but raw fear and determination left to her. In the face of that which she most feared... she'd spit in the face of it, and found just how much her emotions could manipulate the stone's abilities, and she'd begun experimenting with trying to craft new abilities, or will them; she was an artist, after all... why couldn't she let her imagination and emotions run wild?
The subsequent eruption, and evisceration, of the other young woman upon a veritable forest of inky black... spikes? Thorns? Fangs? had been unintentional, however. The girl had to die, yes, but this - this slowed the Beast down. Gave her pause.
Hate is a forest of knives.
The diminutive woman, bundled in her armor of black and red, stood - a chill wind tugging at her cloak for a quiet moment - eyeing the sanguine threads that began to thread through the spikes... before they seemingly melted back into the snow, themselves.
As if they'd never been at all.
Jak had thought she wanted a battle, not...
A slaughter? Isn't that what we're here for?
Or are you reminded of someone else?
The Miqo'te in the hood and faceless mask continued on, stepping over the broken shell of a woman who hadn't known when to stop.
"No one needs you."
Further, on and into the cave, the Beast made her way - stronger by half, at least.
Perhaps it had been a kindness, despite the twisted irony of using the fallen's own aether against her kin - but now the other wouldn't have to watch the rest perish.
As a girl called J'Kesri once had.
It was a kindness a Garlean would not have extended.

Update, I'm still awake, so here's TriMax vol. 1 notes! Again please note these are off the cuff first read reactions and while I tried to get as many major CWs as possible, I may have missed some. In general, assume TriMax is going to have upsetting content at least once per chapter.
TriMax Notes: Volume One
TriMax #1.1: Hero Reborn
Content warnings: mention of a minor being sexually harassed (possibly groped, can’t remember?)
Wolfwood: I’m a minister Barkeep: Oh, good, we need someone for the funerals
…oh, no, Lina RULES
Girl is twelve and deadass cooler than I’ll ever be
“It’s Eriks again” WHAT DO YOU MEAN AGAIN???
To summarize: Lina fought back when harrassed, they took it personal, Vash/Eriks humiliated himself to try and protect her and they shot him anyway and took Lina. Cool!
“This guy’s got the devil’s own luck” that feels like a callback [Note: It was, Trigun 1.7]
So in this timeline he for sure remembers and retired to protect everyone…oof
“Well, that’s who it is. Someone’s gotta show their fangs or someone else is gonna cry.” (WW) Ah yes, the ideological conflict
So they LITERALLY just demolished that place so fast LMAO, Eff around, find out
Backtrack note: Vash responding to the gun with “how cruel” …oof
Vash: drops the gun, catches it, drops the faker in 6 non-lethal shots without hurting Lina Me: HAHA YES!!!
TriMax #1.2: Lina
Wolfwood’s been back like five seconds and they’re already engaging in Sibling Behavior fighting over food
“When the time is right, you’ll know [why I know so much]...for now, let’s just say there’s a debt to settle” UH HUH…
“Your eyes have seen a lot, haven’t they?” (Lina to Vash) Puts in pocket
Gang member: starts monologuing Vash: Absolutely Not *starts approaching with malicious intent*
NOOOO THEY WERE FAMILY…
“In my weakest moment, it was you that protected me.” HELP???
TriMax #1.3: Girls, Bravo!
Okay so Keele is a dick and Vash + WW are going to eat him alive if he actually gets to them
Okay yeah Bernadelli decided to keep rates low by murdering the problem, cool.
“The guy’s an insurance agent! Be careful!” / “Don’t be stupid, he’s obviously a hitman” LMAO
MERYL!! QUEEN!!
MILLY!!!
And then they just go back on vacation after saving his ass AGAIN, I love them
Wolfwood with the hot sauce on OPEN WOUNDS…BRO
Trimax #1.4: Hero Returns
Knives still not having a visible face in flashbacks
“Don’t ever compare us to those faceless vermin” when Knives remains faceless so often himself…hmm
Okay there, one-handed vertical pushup showoff!! Damn!!
BRAD?????
And then they find Vash getting beat up by kids LMAO
Also “Knives knows things about my body that I don’t” is a BIG oof
NOT WW CRAWLING THROUGH THE CROWD FOR FRONT ROW CRIME SEATS
TriMax #1.5: Dancing Revolver
The geranium scene! Interesting how Knives isn’t here this time
Vash using the grenade flash to vanish…his songwriting needs work but his sense of drama is impeccable
So the coat IS bulletproof, explains a LOT
“That’s a real shame. Negotiations have officially broken down!” Oh, Vash
SHOOTING THE LUGGAGE RACKS TO GET THEM!! MY MAN!!!
TriMax #1.6: Sin
Content Warnings: aftermath of a rape/murder seen (lower legs poking out of a sheet, blood, crime-drama level of graphic, basically), references to rape, generally just an upsetting read
“He’s fine” Well. Emotionally, Vash is about to be Very Not Fine.
Vash thinking of both Rem AND Knives and just freezes…oof
“He just couldn’t kill a man in cold blood. His daughter’s murder goes unpunished. Call him weak, but it saved both of us.” OHHHH THERE’S A LOT THERE…
“Vash the Stampede’s idea of ‘kin’ stretches way beyond the norm” AAAAAAAAAAA [Note: obviously this transcription does not capture how shitty my handwriting to when writing that scream]

Hello, friend. Here's a reminder to drink some water. Or some chocolate milk. When you're done, post 5 characters from any fandoms that you kin and then send this to 5 other people <3
currently drinking hot chocolate even though it is the middle of august. whatever, it’s fine. thanks for the reminder❤️
annabeth chase from percy jackson: wanted to be just like her when i was younger and probably formed my entire personality around her. which actually encouraged me to keep reading and eventually start writing. it also caused me to dye my hair blonde at the age of twelve. however it also unfortunately included the pridefulness.
steve harrington from stranger things: everybody say hi “character redemption arc.” started out being a bitchy mean girl in middle school and only decided to change how i acted when i lost a friend in a car accident and realized that the last words i said to her had been something that hurt her feelings. also, the designated babysitter of the neighborhood. plus the only one in my friend group that drives and that can drive well.
clary fairchild from the shadowhunter chronicles: only child vibes. very spoiled and knows it. short and angry. would bring my best friend back to life as a vampire also, if it meant i got to spend more time with them. ready to fight for my mom at any given moment. thinks about murdering their father. has undiagnosed but extremely obvious daddy issues. artistic. nerdy but stylish. likes competence. accidentally stumbles into new friend groups and gets their whole world view changed.
morgana pendragon from the adventures of merlin: the favorite. would fight a politician if i got the chance. thinks the world can change in a day. mad at how people are being treated. doesn’t believe that violence is the answer but will use it to get to it. tired. had a emo phase in seventh grade. vibes with women better than men for the most part. doesn’t like arrogance. thinks knives are pretty. vengeance as an aesthetic.
daisy johnson from agents of shield: wants a name change 24/7. good with technology. what is my hair color? get back with me in about ten business months. it’ll have probably changed three times over by then. smart and cocky about it. black boots. likes the found family trope. wants siblings desperately. started out believing in the goodness of other people and ended up assuming the majority of the population sucks. thinks they’re in charge. lowkey depressed. doesn’t have a good romantic life. midlife crisis? nah that shits predictable. more like identity crisis.
