THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
Hi!! I hope that you’re doing well!! I absolutely ADORE all of your mphfpc headcanons and I was wondering if you had any Victor headcanons? Thank you so much!!
My first ask! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Victor Bruntley Headcanons, coming right up!
The oldest of the children physically, just a month before Hugh.
And if you don’t think he held that above them, you are completely wrong.
“Alright children, who would like the last brownie?” “Well, as the eldest..”
But he was also a really awesome older brother, to both Bronwyn and the others. Needed help in school? Right here, what isn’t making sense? Olive and Claire want a guest at their tea party? Pass the tiara, he’s got this.
Just overall really amazing.
Ridiculously competitive though. He could literally make tying your shoes or waking up first a competition (Horace and Enoch often resented him for the latter).
Can somehow always tell when Millard’s in the room, even if he’s being really quiet. Millard had mixed feelings about this, because while it was really nice to be noticed, it’s also not so great when he yells “Wotcher Mill!” at 3 in the morning when he’s trying to sneak out to study pigs.
Arm-wrestling competitions between Bronwyn and him often lasted pretty long, an hour at most. The kids liked to bet on it. One time Hugh ended up winning big when Bronwyn distracted Victor and slammed his hand down last second.
He was really good at cooking too; him and Fiona often collaborated to create meals that Gordon Ramsey himself would be proud of.
Strong welsh accent, (Enoch and Fiona were the only children with stronger ones) which could make it somewhat hard to understand him, though they got used to it.
Even though he was all this, he also felt left out, like no matter what he did, he would never belong. His mental health had already suffered from single-handedly taking care of Bronwyn for nearly his entire life, and left unchecked it began to only grow worse. He felt that when he wasn’t needed, he was useless.
Because of this he stayed up late often, contemplating his existence and the pros and cons of leaving. Even though he knew he’d be aged up, in the earlier days he didn’t think it’d be so bad. It stopped when Abe came, because he felt he had purpose again, but came back full-force after the letter he sent Emma.
He was one of the only children who could comfort her without the risk of being burned. He was a really good support on their little loop family during that time, though it definitely took a toll on his already damaged mental state.
His decision to leave was a long-thought process, not impulse like the others originally thought. The only one he told was Miss Peregrine, who tried to dissuade him. She thought she succeeded, keeping constant tabs on his whereabouts, until he went to bed early after dinner. When she checked his room fifteen minutes later, he was gone. 
She still blames herself for not going up after him.
The entire loop was locked down while she and several other ymbryne’s searched for him. 
It only took two hours to find his body. That was the night Enoch O’Connor stopped believing there was good left in the world.
Everyone dealt with his death differently.
Miss Peregrine became obsessive, constantly wanting to know where everyone was, cutting off anything that might persuade them to do the same, filling their heads with the terrible outside world, making sure they’d never leave and suffer as Victor had. She also only wore black, something she would continue to do for the rest of her time in the loop.
Emma was slightly possessive, similar to the headmistress. She had already lost two boys she loved (Victor like an older brother) and didn’t want to lose anyone else. She made sure she always checked on everyone everyday, and suffered mental breakdowns that eventually became fewer until they were very rare.
Bronwyn of course took it the hardest. Everyone was always there for her, and sometimes it made her feel like she had failed because she was supposed to be taking care of them. This is when she started to adopt her motherly persona, to try and be a good replacement for Victor even if she knew it’d never be the same.
Horace suffered horrible dreams for weeks on end, to the point where he couldn’t tell a prophecy from a nightmare. He tried going to the others for comfort, but they were also in mourning so it didn’t do much good. In response he built up a pompous facade so they’d never know, which only cracked years later when Jacob came.
Hugh felt like as his roommate, he should’ve noticed and done something about it. It took years of self-loathing before he finally started to accept that there was nothing he could do. Victor was stubborn, and nothing he could’ve said or any actions or precautions would’ve prevented the inevitable.
Fiona became more withdrawn than usual. Instead of saying a few words to Hugh on the rare occasion, she completely stopped speaking at all. The night the wights attacked was the first time Emma heard her voice in over 50 years.
Olive held onto hope that there was some way he could be revived permanently, though she gave up after a while, which was when her delayed grief set in. It lasted for a few months, after which she decided that the best way to honor Victor was to make sure he wasn’t forgotten. Pictures and poems dedicated to him became commonplace in her room. She was quite sad when they were lost at sea.
Claire’s mental state had a really hard time comprehending it, but she got the general gist that he was gone and wasn’t coming back. She cried a bit and became more anxious, scared that something was going to rip them apart again. Part of her sickness was due to the fact that because her mental state wasn’t set back, she was now hit with the full force of his death and combined with the harsh weather conditions, it’s no wonder they thought she was dying.
Enoch became more withdrawn and mean-spirited. What used to be harmless sarcastic remarks turned into personal attacks that could send the person away in tears. Abe hadn’t been the last straw like everyone thought: it was Victor, the only person who consistently put up with him despite all his flaws. It was another reason he was so hostile to Jacob; he reminded him of Victor.
Miss Peregrine allowed Enoch to raise him once so they could say their goodbyes, but of course, once was never enough. Bronwyn and him (along with a few others occasionally) snuck into Victor’s room more than 30 times between his death and Jacob, each time getting a little piece of why. It didn’t help the guilt, but it gave them closure.
Once they got to the real world and all the gang stuff had been sorted out, they went back to Cairnholm to try and retrieve the body. They were pretty disheartened when it wasn’t in the same spot, but there was instead a hole there. That was when Jacob remembered the bog man; he was thousands of years old, but Victor’s body could have been so mangled by the loop’s messed up timeline that it only appeared that way. He was also roughly the size of Victor, so it wasn’t impossible (I will forever hold onto this headcanon).
They went to Uncle Oggie, the known relative of the murdered museum curator, for permission. When he was reluctant, shows of their powers and a quick summary of their journey ended up doing the trick. Once they had Victor’s body loaded onto the private airplane (Courtesy of Smart-Aid and associates) Miss Peregrine erased Oggie’s memory, though to his dying days he would claim the orphans from 1940 must’ve had strange powers and such, though everyone believed it was the dementia setting in.
Jacob and Noor never got to meet him, but they knew he must’ve been a wonderful person from the stories the others would tell. They helped organize a funeral which they and some other peculiars attended.
Even though he was gone, Victor still made a huge impact on their life. Jacob sometimes wonders how Victor being there would’ve impacted their journey, though he could only believe it would’ve been for the better.
He was buried next to Abe. The children visit their graves once a month.
Sorry it took a bit! It also got a little depressing, but I hope that’s ok. 
Victor Bruntley deserves all the love the fandom gives him and more. I’ll definitely have to include him in some future headcanons!

OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING THANK YOU SO MUCH
A loop from 1940 (Millard Nullings x reader)
Word count: 1399
Warnings: a little bit of angst? Other than that just fluff
Requested: yes, by @it-was-three-am
A/n: would anyone be interested in a part 2?
When you and Jacob finally entered the loop, you realized that it looked nothing like you’d thought. Like, yes, Jacob did tell you about a huge and cozy house with a gigantic garden and a bird that took care of children with superpowers, but damn! It truly looked like a picture ripped out from a fairytale.
To be honest, at first you hadn’t really believed him. He’d come running home from some kind of ‘adventure’ and waited until his dad fell asleep to tell you about it. From the way he looked, you were concerned he’d met a drug dealer or criminal, so when he (still looking completely serious) told you about a loop in time in which a bird and some superheroes resided, you didn’t really know how to react. Your first thought was: “He needs to see a psychologist”.
When you told him this, though, he swore he wasn’t crazy and that he could prove it to you. So being the good friend you are, you agreed.
And now you were standing here, in the loop, completely astonished. The garden looked so magical, it almost made you want to just lay there, in the grass, and read some books. But Jake had other plans.
“Come on, Y/N, stop staring and come meet the children!”
He took you by your hand and jogged towards the house. You still couldn’t get over the fact that the house looked prettier than Jacob’s villa. His was so cold, so formal, while this seemed so welcoming. I wonder how it’d be to live here.
Jacob knocked on the wooden door, then took a step backwards. The two of you stood there in silence for a second or two, before the door flew open, only to reveal a pretty woman in her thirties holding a cigarette in her hand.
“Hello, mr. Portman,” she said, smiling. “And you must be Y/N. I’m Alma Peregrine”
You shook her hand awkwardly and led you and Jake into the house. You felt your heart pounding in your chest. What if the kids would dislike you? What if they’d laugh or judge you just because you weren’t like them? You shook the thoughts off. Ms. Peregrine led you all the way to the garden and stopped by some bushes of strawberries. By them, a girl in a green dress and a boy with bees flying around his face were arguing about something, but the girl wasn’t saying anything, just motioning with her hands.
“This is Fiona,” Miss Peregrine said, motioning to the girl. “And this is Hugh. Fiona, Hugh, this is Y/N.”
Fiona and Hugh fixed their gazes towards you. Fiona smiled and waved, and you returned the favor. Hugh greeted you, and ms. Peregrine continued the tour. Jacob was looking around, almost as if he were trying to find something. Or someone.
“What are you looking for?” You asked curiously.
“What?”
“You look like you’re looking for something. What is it?”
“Oh, um…” His cheeks flushed red and he started fiddling with his hands, making you chuckle. He was nervous.
“What’s her name?” You asked and Jacob gave you a frightened look, which made you chuckle a little more. “ I know it’s a girl and I want to know her name.”
He sighed deeply and looked directly at you with his brown orbs. “Emma. And I think she’s in her room, but…” He trailed off.
“But now I’m here, so you have to stay with me on my tour” you finished his sentence. “Go. I’ll say you went to the bathroom.”
Jacob opened his mouth a couple of times. You told him to go once more and he just gave you a giant bear hug, then ran away. By this time, you and the bird were already on your second stop. She didn’t even seem to notice that Jake was gone. Ms. Peregrine pointed to two kids laughing.
“That’s Horace, Olive and Millard”
Wait, what? There are only two people there. Unless…
“No way!” You exclaimed, amazed. “One of them is…”
“Invisible? Yes, indeed.” The bird agreed. “Though I did tell him to put some clothes on…”
The teens noticed us and walked towards us. One of them had a monocle and was wearing a suit. The other one, a girl, was wearing a flowery dress, which was surely something you’d never wear in your entire life.
“Hi!” She smiled. “I’m Olive and this is Horace. And, um… I have no idea where Millard is.”
“I’m here!” Came a voice from my left.
“Hello, uh, I’m y/n, as you probably already know.”
“We know” said the voice that belonged to Millard. “Jake told us about you.”
“Millard,” Miss Peregrine scolded him. “Go put some clothes on, and then you can take y/n on a house tour. I have to help prepare dinner.”
The invisible agreed, and supposedly ran to get dressed. He might as well have ran in the other direction, though. Nobody would ever know.
“You have to excuse Millard, he was just very excited to meet you, so he forgot to get dressed.” Horace explained, putting his hands in his pockets, which made you wonder whether he ever took of that suit.
A few moments later, a few floating pieces of clothing came into sight, which you figured was probably Millard. You felt something cold touch your hand, making you flinch, but as you realized it was only Millard grabbing your hand, you relaxed, your cheeks hot.
“Okay,” He said. “Let me show you around, M’lady”
Millard showed you everything there was to see; the gardens, the bedrooms, the toilets, a kitchen and two living rooms. There was a ‘playing room’, where you soon learned Olive and Claire often were. Millard was so sincere the entire time, apologizing furiously when he almost made you fall down the stairs. You learned that he was really interested in literature, which he made clear when he showed you the library.
When it was time for you and Jake to leave, he gently kissed your cheek and smiled, making your head spin so much you almost forgot your own name. You and Jacob visited the loop a few days in a row, and each time you could feel yourself being more and more infatuated by the invisible boy. The way he talked about his favorite books, the way he laughed when you said something completely idiotic and he had to correct you, the way he’d say some really complicated joke that you didn’t understand, it all just made you weak in the knees.
Maybe it was stupid, maybe it was careless, but you felt yourself falling for him.
“Hey, y/n, are you okay?” Millard’s voice shook you from your thoughts.
“What? Yes, I’m fine, I was just thinking.”
“About what?”
“Invisibility.” You lied. “Like, how does it work? Did you get born invisible or did it happen later? And how do you actually look?”
“Oh,” He suddenly seemed sorrowful. “Well it happened gradually. I was fully visible until the age of 8, and then I just started disappearing. And, well, I don’t actually remember how I look…”
For a split second you’d swear you saw his face, sad and in pain, as if remembering the fact that he was invisible made him heartbroken.
“Hey, are you okay?” You asked him the same question he asked you a few minutes before.
“Uh, yeah,” he said quietly. “I just sometimes wish I wasn’t invisible. You know, how could anyone love anyone they can’t even see?”
You felt your heart drop. How could he feel this way about himself? Especially since…
“I love you, Millard” It was almost as if the words just flew out of your mouth. “And I’m pretty sure I can’t see you. But it doesn’t matter. You’re smart, nice, funny, lovely and you have the most beautiful laugh.”
You heard him sigh, but since you couldn’t see his expression, it made you wonder if he was sad or happy. Then, you felt his hands on yours.
“I love you too”. Your heart skipped a thousand beats in one second and your lips formed into a smile. You felt so happy, you couldn’t describe it if you wanted. The relief was huge. He liked you. No, he loved you. And you loved him.  You were the most happy person in the entire world and nothing could change that.
You pulled Millard closer to you, and he wrapped his arms around you in hug.
“Now we can go on double dates with Emma and Jake.“ He muttered against your hair, and you chuckled. Who knew you’d find love in a time loop from 1940?

hello i need to discuss the mphfpc/tua crossover that’s been bubbling inside me for months:
-luther and jacob would probably bond over their “leader” roles. He would be very understanding of jacob and how quickly he was put in a position of leadership after becoming aware of his own peculiarness w little time to come to terms w it.
-diego would become fiona’s best friend. he would be a bit intimidating with his knives and leather harnesses at first, but fiona would quickly come to learn that diego is just a big dumb softie who loves flowers and his mommy. diego would also get into stupid shenanigans with enoch from time to time because they both would use their clown abilities for mischief
- five and emma would probably argue a lot. they both get short easily so i can imagine them going at it constantly over dumb stuff. emma is usually right in the end. he probably gets along the best with miss peregrine (as they are the closest in age literally) and millard, because he would millard is brilliant and an intellectual, and vice versa. while millard is very sharp when it comes to problem solving and peculiar history/lore he would be crazy obsessed with fives math skills
-miss peregrine would be very wary of five at first, in fact, she would be very suspicious of what kind of trouble he could attract due to the nature of his line of work at the commission. she obviously is already protecting her wards from wights but the idea of commission agents or the handler storming the loop would be frightening. she would also be very surprised at how powerful fives time travelling abilities are, and considering that ymbrynes are the only ones that can loop time she would be an “oh??!” moment for her
- fives relationship w enoch is a little bit rocky. five tolerates enoch enough to converse w him normally but for old enorace reasons enoch cannot help but be petty bc deep in the recesses of my mind i firmly believe horace would develop a small crush one-sided on five and that would make him jealous and because five isn’t aware of their long history he probably thinks enoch’s just a massive dickhead which sprouts some beef between them
-emma on the other hand gets along best with allison. when emma is calmer, she gives excellent advice which she exchanges with allison. they are able to confide in one another about love and romance, and catch up on all kinds of gossip.
-ben and hugh would bond for having the “stranger” abiliy of the group. not to mention that the both of them are incredible wholesome and caring for their friends/family. ben doesn’t like how hugh brings up fiona every other minute though
-horace and klaus obviously would become best friends...horace probably either views klaus as the pinnacle of modern fashion or views klaus’ style as heinous, but i’d like to think that they have sort of similar taste. klaus probably gives horace a lot of advice on coming to terms w his sexuality n shit and provides a lot of emotional support for him, almost like a dad or an older brother
-horace also admires vanyas ability to play the violin, considering he can as well, he gets vanya to help him improve as much as possible. he probably admires vanya from being calm, quiet and reserved, and likes to spend time w her because of that. also not to mention that she’s a great listener and always tries to help him interpret his prophetic dreams

✨ Iconic ✨
“Millard! Who’s the prime minister?“ "Winston Churchill,” he said. “Have you gone daft?” “What’s the capital of Burma?” “Lord, I’ve no idea. Rangoon?” “Good! When’s your birthday?” “Will you quit shouting and let me bleed in peace!” ― Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children

YES
Things most of the MPHFPC Fandom agree on:
-The movie could've been better.
-Conference of the Birds is the weakest of the books so far.
-There is no way Bronwyn and Horace are straight.
-Fiona is underappreciated.
-All the children have PTSD.
-Caul just needs to die already.
-Fugh is too pure for this world.
-Jacob needs to pick a love interest and stick with them.
-Noor had so much wasted potential.
-Abe was kind of a jerk.
-Enoch isn't nearly as "evil" as he pretends to be; he cheered up Esme without asking for anything in return.
-Millard is the master of not giving a dam: "Would you quit shouting and let me bleed in peace!"
-Everyone would've been dead by the end of the first book if it wasn't for Bronwyn.
-The wights need to quit invading Horace's personal space.
-Emma needs to work on getting over Abe and not letting her jealousy consume her.
-Jacob is currently going through his "Order of the Phoenix' phase.
-Claire is putting way too much faith in the ymbryne's.
-Miss Peregrine needs to just let the children grow up already; they saved the entirety of peculiadom for bird's sake!
-Again, FUGH! THE WAY HUGH RAN TO HER IN COTB I MEAN-
-Sharon has no side: it's just whatever happens to be most convenient for him.
-Olive is a beautiful angel and there's nothing wrong with her.

I concur
Hollowheart and Enorace are the Pernico and Solangelo of the Miss Peregrine’s fandom, the only difference is the latter isn’t canon. Change my mind.

@earthquakeofideas​ asked - pls may my lonely ass have a ship 🥺 i’m a girl w brown hair + blue eyes, glasses, and im kinda thicc and short. i rly like all things horror even tho i’m a huge chicken. i love to draw, and i also love indie music, and fashion. i’m also a vegetarian :-) i love reptiles and dogs. also, i’m a very empathetic person uwu! thank u bro 💕💗🥺🥰
Of course you can!  I am so sorry that this took so, so long!  Remote learning had really messed up my schedule (not that I really had one to begin with).  
I ship you with... 
Horace Somnusson!
I know this might sound strange, and I know that he is one of the younger wards of the loop, but let’s just assume that he’s a few years older!  I got a little carried away, so there’s a LOT of stuff under the cut
So you work at a small family owned boutique in a no-name town in Florida, it was one of those “My friend’s aunt who knows this lady, who’s sister-in-law owns this” kinda things
On one particular day, business was very slow, so you decided to listen to your own music through your earbuds instead of whatever trending pop music was playing over the intercom of the boutique today
You’re jamming out, folding some nice sweater, and hanging up dress on the “Sale! 10% Off” rack, so you don’t notice the bunch of people that walk in
You finally realize that they had walked into the store when you get a tap on your shoulder
You turn around to see a beautiful blond boy with impeccable fashion sense
I’d like to think that Horace gets quite a bit taller as he gets older so he’d kind of be staring down at you 
Hi miss!  Do you happen to have this dress shirt in a smaller size?  Wonderful blouse you have on there, truly quality craftsmanship.  Maybe a medium?  Or do you have any slimmer styles?
You were in awe of the style he had and the fact he had an elegant British accent, something very unusual for no-name town in Florida
Most guys that came in here were sent in by their girlfriend or wife with a picture of what they needed
This guy wore beautiful leather oxfords, exquisitely tailored slacks, and a button up that was probably nicer than a lot of the shirts in here
You had to look up at him to see his face (and he had a pretty nice one)
Oh, yeah, we actually have a few slimmer ones, they’re behind that display over there.
Responding to him makes you realize the group of people he’s with
There’s another boy older than the one you just helped, and one other boy that looks around the same age, he had almost cartoon-like bags under his eyes
There were two girls, one practically had fire in here eyes and one wore a quite tomboy outfit
Thanks, love!
“Love?” You thought to yourself, who calls someone they just met “Love”?  Is it a British thing?
You watched him walk over to the other side of the store and later helped him and his friends check out at the counter
You had an interesting conversation about cashmere versus alpaca wool while him and his friends payed for the clothes they picked out
The rest of the day, you kept the strange interaction in the back of your mind, wishing you had gotten his name
Once you had finished up closing the shop, you walked out, holding your sketchbook along with your other belongings and began locking the front door of the boutique
There was the sound of expensive shoes slapping against the pavement, but you didn’t think of it because there was always a bunch of rich kids running around this neighborhood
You turned around, only to see the boy from earlier running towards you and slam into you sending your sketchbook flying, papers floating in the air
They settled in the ground revealing your drawings of outfits and cute little reptiles
Oh my, oh dear, I am so sorry, so unbelievably sorry.  Let me help you pick these up, love
“Love? again?” you thought
He bent down and started to gather the pages that were strewn out all over the sidewalk
As the boy helped you pick up your sketches, he began to admire your sketches
These are quite superb!  I love this chameleon you have here!
You weren’t too sure on how to respond, you don’t even know why he ran into you in the first place!  Let alone his name!
Oh, you must be confused a bit on why I ran into you like a madman.  I truly am sorry, I was trying to get here before you closed the shop because, well, this must sound absurd, but I wanted to get your name.  I’m Horace by the way.  I just wanted to talk to you a bit more.
You were a little shocked, but you introduced yourself and the rest is history
You two started going out on the town as friends and it quickly evolved into something else
It wasn’t a surprise when he asked you to go on a real date with him
After a wonderfully planned date, he was walking you home when you both noticed that you were being followed
Millard, I know that you’re following us!  Please come out of the bushes so I can introduce you to her.  I figured this was going to happen sooner than later.  
When nothing stepped out of the bushes even though you heard the sound of rustling leaves
Horace introduced you to Millard, briefly going over the fact that he was invisible, something that seemed a lot more important to you than Horace apparently
I suppose I should explain the rest to you now shouldn’t I?
He took you to a large expensive house on the other side of town, where you were introduced to the rest of the gang
He explained the peculiardom to you, and told you what he could do
You were a little skeptical at first, but quickly realized that he wasn’t joking around
You guys were hanging out at your place when he fell asleep on the couch
This was after a mutual agreement to stop a horror film you guys were watching because of the antagonists’ mutated animal that would have given you both nightmares if you continued
At first Horace was just squirming a bit
Then he started to whimper and cry out for someone that you didn’t know
But you really understood what he was talking about when he shot up from the couch, eyes wide open and glossed over, not really focusing on anything
Oceans will rise to claim what was stolen from them, ashes will fall from the skies to punish the destructive, cities will burn in the name of greed,  after the fog lifts the only remnants will be of those who tried, we will be no longer, six-legged wings will devour us in the end
When he first started talking his voice sounded almost dreamy, but by the time he finished, he was shouting, his limbs flying everywhere, it was as if he was in physical pain, but it was only a dream
As soon as he stopped spewing out apocalyptic riddles, he slipped back into a restless sleep
You were so freaked out that you didn’t let him sleep for long, you woke him up and asked him what that whole thing was about
He told you that he didn’t remember anything he saw or said, and the ones he can’t remember barely every come true
You trusted Horace, so you relaxed and decided to put that horror film you stopped
It took a few scenes to remember why you had shut it off in the first place
Horace started taking a lot of naps at your place, he usually didn’t get a lot of sleep when he went to bed at night due to his visions
You weren’t aware how little sleep he was getting, oh the wonders of concealer 
Sleeping somewhere else didn’t stop the visions of seeing people he didn’t even know get in car accidents, get shot in a back ally, and many other worse things
He wanted to sleep wherever you were because when he would wake up in a cold sweat, he didn’t want to have to explain what he saw to Miss P, or answer Millard’s endless questions, or have to endure Enoch’s rude comments
He wanted to be with you
You would be there for him, if he wanted to talk, you would listen, if he wanted to just sit and think, you would be right next to him
He’d absolutely love your glasses!
He’d love picking out new frames with you
He’d search the whole store to find the perfect pair
And Horace would love to go shopping with you because let’s be real here, Horace is the only peculiar with any fashion sense whatsoever
Do you know happy he would be to have a conversation about fashion with someone who knows what he’s talking about
He would totally buy you outfits at completely random times for absolutely no reason
I just saw this and I knew that you would look spectacular in it, even though you look spectacular in everything under the sky, love
Did I mention that he calls you “love” all the time?
Well, he does and refuses to call you anything else
He has you in his phone (assuming he gets one when he’s out of the loop) as Love
Just Love
When he finds out that you’re vegetarian, he goes on a vegetarian kick himself
He learns a bunch of vegetarian recipes to cook for you guys
And the dishes he cooks taste so  g o o d
Horace totally revamps his own diet to match yours and is the most supportive boyfriend ever
Enoch makes fun of him a lot for it
Horace is would be an amazing boyfriend
I didn’t realize how long I made this!! I hope that you like them and I am so sorry that it took me so long to get to this!  I hope that it was worth the wait!

@flowercrown45 asked - The Twins or The Armageddon Chickens hehehehe
Oh my gosh I don’t even know.  
I think I’m going to have to go with the Armageddon Chickens!  From the books perspective you really don’t know anything about the creepy clown twins, so I don’t think that I would want to be quarantined with them AT ALL.  I don’t think that the chickens would be too bad, if the eggs don’t explode, you can make yourself a nice omelette!  If I remember correctly, not all the eggs explode right?  But if they do, then I think it would be entertaining to chase after the chickens to make sure I get to the eggs before they explode so I can yeet them away in time.
