#they're better in literally every sense how i do i explain it uhhh

[fakeloveaskblog]

(Hi, me again. Another ask for Virgil.)

Hey.

*eyes glowing grayish blue with worry*

*hands Virgil an ice pack and some tissues*

You okay? That seemed like a painful conversation for you… literally.

*insert drum sound. Da dum chi*

Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. In all seriousness though, are you okay?

*listens to response and provides comfort*

*waits until Virgil is finished talking before moving on to a different conversation topic*

You were right about me being British by the way. Although I don’t like tea so I’m considered a disgrace to my country. (Not really.)

Also about the cleaning thing. Basically different void creatures have different abilities and skills, both regular and magical and the more we practice abilities the better we are at them. Like how The Local Demon is really good at summoning plushes and how I’m good at cooking. But if we don’t work on abilities then they aren’t as good, such as me being terrible at cleaning both magically or otherwise. I do hope that makes sense, I’m not always the best at explaining things.

Now I’m going to check on Remy, I’ll be back in about an hour. See you soon.

*appears next to Remy*

Hi Remy. It’s been about a day since I last saw you, how are you holding up?

(Depending on Remy’s response I might give them the box of their stuff that Virgil put together. But only if they seem like they are in a suitable mental state to receive it. If not I’ll wait till another time. Or one of the other Watchers might give it to them if they see a good opportunity to do so. I’m working under the assumption that we all gossip in between asks about what’s going on, so they are also aware of the boxes existence.)

Glow Eyes

Virgil hesitated a little before taking the tissue and ice pack. He held his head back to try and stop the nosebleed while pressing the pack against his nose.

"I hate Oswald" He muttered out "Hate his guts. If I was that guy I would puke every time I looked in the mirror!!"

He glared over to you and eyed your sudden blue eyes. Your voice echoed against the wall behind him as you spoke even if you were right next to him. He rolled his eyes at your pun.

"Ha ha. Very funny. But seriously? Everything he said about me is true isn't it. He just said I was violent and lonely and a piece of shit. And I mean. Who's to say!? I probably am maybe possibly yeah. I'm okay really. I dated Remy in high school while they would come to school in skirts. It's not exactly the first time I've gotten pushed into a wall"

It only took a few seconds before his nose scrunched and he got an annoyed expression again.

"I just don't get why head to be so nasty about Remy! They haven't been nothing but nice to him! And he still misgendered and- and called them stupid fucking things! it's just basic decency! Y'know that Remus guy right? When I got in here and saw him he- uh how do I say this without sounding like a jackass- He looked like someone I would typically assume to be a lady okay. But I remembered in my little worm brain that Remy has used he/him for him and also that they're like only into dudes so y'know- You can hear me speaking I'm not out here calling the Remus guy something he's not. AND HE'S LIKE PROBABLY TRYING TO BONK MY RE- MY uhhh ex? uhg no gross don't like that. That makes me feel real bad. Remy. He's probably trying to get it on with Remy. And I'm still like not a dickhole about him!! Basic decency!!! Fuck Oswald. I hate him. I wanna strangle him with like a fucking I wanna strangle him using a bunch of fish sauce. Nearly drown him in it. Make him suffer. Make him smell like fish! Then no one will want him! No one wants a fish!"

He flailed his arms around while speaking. He looked over to you to get some sort of nod of approval to see if he was still coherent in any way. You just stared back at him.

"I dunno. It feels good being angry at Oswald....'Cause I know...I've said similar shit about Remy...I remember that...But...But when I remember myself doing that I remember it as good....Like i had good intentions...I was in the right......It feels good to like see my actions in someone else so I can get angry at it...I guess...Rightfully angry...I gotta work on that self insight dude holy shit"

Your eyes shifted to glow a subdued orange to comfort, while not comforting too much since he was still a not so good guy. You continued your message about the watcher's different abilities and he nodded along.

"Ah I see. That makes full sense. So you and your friends must have all taken extensive classes in the humble ability of being a total overbearing asshat" He smiled like he was proud of his joke before chuckling a little "Just kidding...mostly.

Your eyes glowed on and off green to show sarcastic laughter.

"Tough audience. Yeah, good idea about checking on with Remy. I hope they're okay"

--

You floated into Logan's and Patty's apartment. For them it had only been a bit over an hour since they left Virgil's place and crashed at the couple's place. There was a stiff tension hanging over the entire apartment.

Patty sat in an armchair with Thomas, her dog, laying on the floor on top of her feet. She was absentmindedly moving her foot to rub his belly. She had placed two cups of tea on the coffee table. One for her and one for Remy who was sitting in the couch but they hadn't drank any of it. It had gone cold by now anyway.

A cigarette was pressed between Remy's fingers. The smoke slowly rose up into the air. The couple would have never allowed anyone to smoke in here if it wasn't for the situation being this unusual.

A far away look was in Remy's eyes as they stared out. They had barely even touched the cigarette. They'd lit it, shakingly took a few breathes of smoke and then completely forgot about it even if they were literally holding it.

You spoke, but Remy didn't respond. After a little bit they turned their head towards your direction but they were looking right through you. It was hard to say if they even noticed that you were there.

The noise of what sounded like a conversation came from the kitchen so you floated over into the room.

"How long did the bus ride here take?" Logan asked. His tone was as serious as it could be.

"20 minutes. Give or take" Janus replied.

"Did the bleeding stop during the bus ride?"

"...It ended a few minutes after getting on the bus, I think"

Logan had made his partner sit down on one of the kitchen chairs. He was holding a cotton ball that had been soaked in disinfection creme. He was gently holding his hand under Janus' chin to make them tilt their head back as he cleaned the small cuts on their face. There were about three of them. All on the left side of their face.

"If it bleed for over 10 minutes you need to get stitches"

"It didn't"

Logan stared directly at them "Are you sure? Absolutely 100% incredibly sure? Really sure?"

"I am sure darling" They replied with a smile.

"I'll take your word for it then" He grumbled out.

He rinsed off the dried up blood that had been left on their cheek before carefully placing band-aids on all three of the cuts.

"He could have punctuated your eye!" Logan suddenly said "If the shards had hit you in your eye it could have blinded you"

"Well I did punch him right thereafter so I think we're even"

"I am not. I will major in medicine but instead of using the knowledge to heal, I will use it to harm. Harm Virgil specifically. I will not only make him feel moderate pain, but severe pain! That lasts an unusual long amount of time! Yes! I must! Because he dared throw broken shards from a vase onto my beautiful Janus!"

Janus let up into laughter.

"Are you not finding my threats incredibly serious and scary?"

"I am shaking in bone deep terror deary" Janus had put on a fake serious tone.

Logan let up into a small smile before leaning in to kiss them. They let their hand slip into his as they stood up and went back out into the living room. You followed closely behind.

Remy was still sitting in silence. They hadn't even taken off their shoes. Logan went over to his wife and pressed a kiss to the top of her head. They exchanged a few whispered words. Patty squeezed Janus' other hand and asked if he was alright. He nodded back.

It felt like a bomb had been placed right in the middle of the apartment and if any of them spoke ever too loudly it would go off and no one could guess what would happen if the bomb went off. And the bomb was named Remy.

The cigarette had nearly burned all the way down. Janus went over to the couch to snuff it out before it burned their hand. As soon as he got close Remy flinched away. Their breathe got stuck in their throat. Their eyes went wide as they stared up at him.

"Darling it's just me" He reminded. He made sure to move slower as he reached out his hand and motioned for the cigarette "Mind letting me stub it out?"

Remy glanced between his hand and his face before giving him the cigarette. He quickly pressed it out against the side of the coffee table before turning back to them. They were looking around the apartment like they didn't even know where they were.

"You alright hun?"

They stared at him for an uncomfortably long time before going back to looking out into nothing, their arms dangling limply against their sides. Thomas stood up from his owner's feet and went over to lick Remy's hand.

When they felt the fluffy fur against their skin they flinched again before reaching out and patting the dog's big head.

"good boy" They mumbled out.

Janus leant against his boyfriend's shoulder. He knew there was a long list of things to worry about. They had to get Remy their medicine. Had to make sure they ate and drank because he knew self care was the last thing on their mind right now. Had to find some place they wanted to stay at. Probably had to try and find a therapist for them soon as well. Right now he thought all of them needed a moment to breathe.

All of them....Logan, Janus, Patty, Remy and- oh shit.

"....Patty...Do you know where Remus went?" Janus asked "He was here before Logie cleaned my cuts"

She quickly looked around as if he would jump up from behind a couch "Uhm..Nope. No idea"

"That is not good. If he's alone for too long he Will either commit arson or give himself food poisoning somehow. How do you even lose a Remus?"

"You forget to cherish him!" "Quite easily actually. He is pretty fast" Patty and Logan replied at the same time.

Janus leaned not so subtly towards a dark corner of the room and whispered out to you.

"Whenever one of you talks to us you immediately arrive at our exact location correct? So if one of you talked to Remus you would know where he was. I understand if he went back to his place to rest or something of that sort....but if he's not okay, And if he is okay with me going to him, could you lead me to him. Pretty please?"

Wowza sorry y'all about the random massive Rockafire spam, I'm pretty sure ??most?? People on here? know me for just Knight Rider because that's the only thing I've ever REALLY posted about--

but I Do Not Care it's RAE hours right now so uhhh here's some headcannons that probably aren't Canon compliant very much because I just got into RAE like last week

So like. I feel like Mitzi is a Good Amount younger than the rest of the band like she was in highschool when she joined, the rest of em were all Adults™ and she was a little bit nervous about it because...... ADULTS™

She was just lookin for a place to get her singing voice out there, because ya girl REALLY wanted to perform, and showbiz happened to have a slot open, but she did not expect all of the members to be older than her (although looking back, she realized she probably should have expected that)

It was intimidating at first but Billy Bob and Fatz were just the absolute sweetest and they introduced her properly to the rest of the band because she was like "oh I barely talk to them because I get nervous :(" and the resident dads p much said "aight we can do all the talking for you then, how about that?" And badabing badaboom she's now attached to these two and like honestly who isn't or maybe that's just me but ANYWAYS I feel like the band would become a second home/safe space for her

Yeah fr some reason I have BIG long headcannon for her joining the band but the rest of them? Nobody knows how they got there for all I know they just Showed Up One Day

Also I came across this

https://youtu.be/UU7BeUWQBDI

Which got me thinkin about what my headcannons were as far as sexuality/gender stuff

And I find the concept of Billy Bob being Very Much Straight And Ignorant but trying his hardest to be a good ally SO funny like if someone came out to him he'd probably be like "oh!! I don't understand why you would choose that lifestyle but I respect you!!" not realizing how incredibly stupid he sounds sjkrjh like I don't think he can very easily wrap his head around how people are just. not cishet. so he's like "OH then it must be a choice, right? like you can choose to be gay but you're born straight. Right?" and everyone just shakes their heads in the background but he does earnestly try his best and my man would rather DIE than disrespect someone's pronouns I know this for sure

Fatz is pretty similar, straight ally and a lil confused but he's got the spirit, you know? He still least knows being gay (as well as,,, m o s t sexualities that aren't straight, although some he doesn't get/know about at all) isn't a choice but he hasn't quite grasped that being trans is also not a choice. He will respect your pronouns to hell and back but by god he doesn't get it,,, he's trying though and he feels very accomplished in himself that he's starting to get the hang of using they/them even though he slips up a lot

The rest of the band encourages the HELL out of these two because they're. Trying their best and making an honest effort which is more than a pretty good chunk of people would give

Rolfe, Earl, and Dook are the reasons Billy Bob and Fatz are trying so hard to understand it lmao

Rolfe took it upon himself to hang up a MASSIVE gay pride flag backstage, being the flaming homosexual that he is, and the rest of the squad quickly realized "oh he's GAY gay he wasn't kidding" because at first they literally thought he was joking as he was actually just being openly and obnoxiously a raging mlm (and like I mean no shade to him this isn't me tryna to make fun of it because my dumb sapphic ass almost crashed my car once because I saw a pretty girl walk down the street. And by "once" I mean. Yesterday.) Anyways yeah that's when the rest of em Realized and were like "OH" but after the massive pride flag was hung up that prompted Dook to come out and they were all like "???? YOU TOO????"

Dook is a non-binary ICON he's a demiboy and goes by both he/him and they/them and probably would have a bunch of pride pins I think,,, I'm not really sure of his sexuality though!! honestly he kinda gives me bisexual vibes but Who Knows . Not me. He has a HELL of a time trying to explain his gender to the rest of the band (except for Rolfe because like. He's a part of the community so he knows) and basically he was met with "so you're just a dude but ✨spicy✨?" and it was like, "no, but I have no idea how to explain it in a way that will make sense to you, so. yes?" And that explanation seemed to suffice for most of them

Mitzi went in knowing NOTHING about what being non-binary was so she asked a l o t of questions about it, which Dook just kinda dealt with answering (he's heard most of it before, and it gets tiring after a while. if you're nb or trans or honestly any part of LGBTQ+ you know what I mean) but he thought it was really sweet of her to be so determined to learn about it and eventually she did get a grasp on it ish, so she was able to understand why it wasn't just ✨spicy male✨ (the conversation pretty much went "well if i was just male, don't you think I would label myself that way instead?" "....oH TRUE!!!") and she ended up a VERY passionate ally, and she'll ask occasionally about how to be better at it, bein a queen as she is 👉👉 also definitely started questioning her sexuality after a while and just went with "maybe bicurious" and Rolfe, Dook, and Earl were all like "ONE OF US, ONE OF US"

Earl has never once spoken about his sexuality in his life, because 1. He's very aware that's an awkward conversation to have with a puppet, and 2. He's aroace anyways, which is basically what people assume even if they don't realize it just for their own peace of mind, because seriously, puppets and any identity that ISN'T aroace creates a really uncomfortable mental image for... Most people, pretty much. So it's not like he ever needed to say anything about it, which is convenient for him because he wouldn't want to say anything either way. not worth the risk of embarrassing himself and making everyone feel awkward

(side note ish though Rolfe 100% came out to Earl first and was met with "I already knew that but okay." Rolfe was mildly offended)

And spEAKING OF EARL he's VERY much sentient but he can't say he's particularly enthusiastic about it because Rolfe has to carry him around everywhere

He can move on his own but it's limited and generally annoying to maneuver around with his tiny body so he just says screw it half the time and stays on Rolfe's arm or hitch a ride on Random Object, but like... Yeah, the majority of the time Rolfe just has to deal with only having one arm available and a puppet directly next to him making fun of him at every possible chance

They high-key have chaotic and unorganized college roommate vibes (like they're actually roommates because... Where tf is Earl supposed to go?? So Rolfe took him in) and idk if this is really like a part of my headcannons or if I just think it's funny so I keep entertaining the idea of it but I think it would be Fantastic if Rolfe had no idea how to cook but Earl somehow did so this idiot is trying to take instructions from a puppet, who can't physically show him what to do, and it's like Hell's Kitchen live featuring a furry and a sentient stuffed animal

Aaaaamd going off of my Rolfe and Earl headcannons still Rolfe for SURE has some sort of executive dysfunction issue. ADD or ADHD I'm not sure (probably ADHD) but he definitely has it also this totally isn't just me projecting how dare you accuse me of that

And!!! More about Dook!!!! I don't know how or why I thought up of this but I cannot possibly imagine him any other way now-- he's autistic and space is his Big Huge special interest, and if you ever ask him about it you have to be prepared to get infodumped or possibly even shown a PowerPoint presentation, because GOD he loves space!!! He wants everyone to know all about it!! He knows not everyone thinks it's as cool as he does so he tries to keep his mouth shut but when someone asks about it he can't help himself and will infodump a LOT, also haha drumming stims go brrrr, playing the drums isn't really a stim but he likes to just take his drumsticks and whack em around in the air and get that good ol Wavy Arm Action (wavy arms is best stim change my mind you can't it's GOOD)

Also i bbbbelieve earlier I reposted somethin about someone else headcannoning that he has echolalia, which I don't really know enough about to say anything on it?? But even if he doesn't have echolalia he'd probably repeat phrases over and over until he gets tired of them (which is,,, something I do lmao, it's either memes I get stuck in my head or things I've heard from various medias I like the inflections in (like one tiktokker I saw was talking about their tourettes and their vocal tics and one of them was "uh oh! How unfortunate!" and now I CAN'T STOP SAYING IT)) but like uhhh yeah :))) repeating phrases that get stuck in your head for various reasons for the win

This is already really long so I'm just gonna vibe out thanks for coming to my Ted talk feel free to ask questions I probably won't be able to answer a lot of em though because my headcannons are a Mess hehe >:)

#WOOOW GROMIT #rae #rockafire explosion #rock-a-fire explosion #i still don't know what tags y'all use #someone pls stop me from stealing peoples vocal tics i find on tiktok #like seriously #the one i mentioned as well as are stuck in my head #SIZZLE IT UP G R O M I T #he lp #lmaooo anyways yeah i love these characters im biased towards rolfe and earl tho they're my favorites
