Eye Bracket — Finals
Propaganda
Cecil Gershwin Palmer (Welcome to Night Vale):
Purple eye man <3
Hes like, THE eye narrator guy for podcasts imo.
THE tumblr sexyman
Not too short or tall, not fat or too thin. With hair, a nose and eyes. Look, hes hot and sexy because he's an ambiguous gendered male pronoun character who's openly gay imminently. His hotness comes from his lack of description and his silly, whimsical nature. As a "The idea of having sex with my physical body is kinda yuck" ace, I would have sex with him irl if given the chance. He is the ONLY exception for my own minds rule. While that might not be real propaganda or whatever it should have weigh of how hot he is.
Cecil Gershwin Palmer my beloved ♥️♥️
Jonathan Sims/The Archivist (The Magnus Archives):
I just think it'd be funny if an asexual character won
(im ripping this from the wiki btw) John has prematurely greying hair and looks older than he is. He often looks very tired and is physically unfit, as other characters refer to him as scrawny and he tires easily from physical tasks that others perform with little exertion. he also has lots of scars.
(propaganda, spoilers for The Magnus Archives) He's a wet cat and at one point dated Georgie Barker and does date Martin Blackwood. there is also a whole tag/movement for "hot Jon rights". he may not be like, 10/10 on the attractive scale but his far off gaze has captivated me
My votes for jon tho, that wet tired cat of a man has captured my heart. He gives dilf vibes and i got a thing for those 0.o
So Jon has EYEBAGS‼️‼️ I rest my case Your Honor. Vote Jon
#Eye Bracket Round 4#Cecil Palmer#Cecil Gershwin Palmer#Jonathan Sims#The Archivist#Welcome to Night Vale#The Magnus Archives#EDIT 12/25: Thanks to anastasiadalia for pointing out I had the wrong text on Jonathan's image. I had created the images and then tweaked#them and then *re*created them all so they would match again and I guess I missed that. Fixed now!

Note
For ideas, maybe Jon holding Admiral? o:
[ID: A digital sketch of Jonathan Sims fondly cradling the Admiral in his arms with a joyful expression on his face. Jon is a thin British-Indian man with medium-length hair tied up in a high ponytail, a moustache, and a beard. He wears rectangular glasses, a black turtleneck, and a loose sweater. The Admiral is a fluffy cat not of any specific breed with a lazy tongue-out expression on its face. The piece is roughly shaded with loose yellow and red inks. /.End ID]
POV: You are Georgie Barker who just came home to find that your cat has betrayed you w/ your ex (you don't particularly mind)
Thank you for the suggestion Ama! This was really fun to do :D
I'm still open for asks+suggestions!

The Ultimate Emo/Scene Name List - WARNING: Long post, and make sure you read the trigger warnings!
Having trouble coming up with a name for yourself? Do you planning on using a part of your real name but can’t find a word to go with it? Well, worry no more!
Today, I’m here to provide as comprehensive a list as possible! I’ve scoured the internet, and some sources have some problematic suggestions.

There is also a section purely made up of words used in the past that are to be used/reclaimed at one's own risk/discretion due to the words being used to oppress or belittle various minority groups.

💝Games of Love and Chance💘
Here’s a story that I wrote for Creative Corner’s Valentine’s Day exchange for the wonderful @carooosa! This was based on their ADHD Tav, which if you haven’t read about before, you can find them HERE! This is SFW for once so no warnings needed. Thanks for letting me walk around in your world for this one, Roo. 💌
(Astarion/gender neutral tiefling Tav, 1756 words, fluff, SFW)
Three months. Three months of what felt like near-bliss since defeating the netherbrain. Without the looming threat of ceremorphosis looming over you both, it felt like you and Astarion could finally breath. Yes, maybe you had been pressured a bit by any of the dukes still left standing into helping restore the city and help clear some of the rubble but you didn’t mind overly much (though Astarion complained grumpily about how your kind nature always led him along with you into these situations since he was your partner). This period of assisting with the rebuilding was relaxing in its own way and gave you both the opportunity to spend time together without the pressures of your adventures weighing you down.
You were already easily distracted enough on the best of days and it was nice to get to know Astarion better as you spent your nights together without the ultimate distraction of death being an ever-present shadow in your mind.
You found out that he was a lot harder to get up from his bed after a trance than he had been on the road, always grabbing at you with demanding fingers that tried to roll you underneath him like the world’s most squawking and squirming body pillow in an attempt to stop you from trying to get him out from under his massive pile of blankets.
You discovered that he was fond of embroidering whimsical designs into your clothing any time that you were apart; sprawling little cats across the collars of your shirts or fluttering moths edging the ankles of your breeches. It was true that he had stolen the thread from some oblivious merchant but you didn’t do much more about it than roll your eyes since you had no interest in changing his ways. Your love for him was true and unwavering even with his more criminal pastimes and at least he wasn’t actively stabbing someone so… you had to be grateful for small favors, at least. It was a sweet gesture on Astarion’s part all the same.
Since this was one of the few occasions that you were able to make your apologetic excuses to those temporarily running the city to get a break from the restoration efforts and have some time to yourselves, somehow you had both arrived on the idea of a nice, peaceful date at the summer street carnival. Astarion had never been able to enjoy one before since it was always a prime time where Cazador would expect his spawn to nab as many drunken victims as possible so this would be fun for him to actually experience it without any expectations, right? Maybe spend some time walking hand in hand, watch some fireworks…
Or it would have been peaceful if the vampire spawn hadn’t spotted a ramshackle display soon upon entering the block cordoned off for the event, the kobold barker perched on crates behind the counter proclaiming in a loud bray, “Come on, come on, don’t be shy, win your sweetheart a prize! Get the ball in the cup one time, couldn’t be easier, right? Three balls for a gold piece! It’s prize time, play now!”
Curious, you peered over to the display of possible rewards, a collection of stuffed animals stacked high behind the employee in a haphazard way that fortunately didn’t take away from their cuteness.
“Oh, adorable! They have one that looks like a cat!” You chirped with enthusiasm, rocking back on your heels as your eyes landed on a round, squishy ball with ears towards the front of the pile that did resemble a feline, if you squinted. Considering that it was probably constructed by the clumsy hands of the kobold running the game, you half expected Astarion to just pull you along and tell you that he’d sew you something better later on at home. But when you glanced over at him, his face was studying yours and there was something soft in his eyes before it darted away like a startled rabbit.
Astarion scoffed, rolling his eyes as he looked at you, a confident smirk stretching across his lips and showing a tip of fang that gleamed under the moonlight. His more sarcastic and airy demeanor back like someone yanking a curtain shut. “Easy. I’ll win you that toy in a few moments flat, you can shower me with praise and we can carry on with our quaint night about town.”
…Something else that you soon learned about your beloved was that he was absolutely dogshit at carnival games. You watched with a pained but encouraging smile as Astarion tried to throw the leather wrapped ball into the ceramic cup about ten feet away for about the thirtieth time, the ball bouncing cheerfully off the rim of the cup and spinning off onto the ground. The kobold wisely didn’t comment and didn’t make eye contact as Astarion hurriedly dug through his coin purse and slammed yet another gold piece down on the aged wood, snatching more balls out of the barker’s clawed grip.
“By the Nine Hells, this game is rigged,” Astarion hissed, rolling up the sleeves of his doublet in pure rage and consternation. A few silvery-white curls clung to his forehead where it shone with a damp sweat and his ear tips were pink where they poked out of his hair with both irritation and embarrassment. “I am the best rogue in the Gate, we saved the bloody world and you’re telling me that I can’t get a ball in a cup?! Impossible-“
Astarion paused in his tirade to try again to toss a ball, as if trying to catch the game off-guard in a sneak attack. It went wide and landed about a foot away from the cup, not touching it at all.
Your tail twitched behind you in secondhand embarrassment as the silence stretched on as you, Astarion and the kobold all stared at where it had landed for a few beats.
“…There is something illegal going on here and you will pay for it. I could kill a fly with an arrow with my eyes closed and I can’t make this shot with a hunk of animal skin? I don’t believe it,” Astarion threatened the carnival employee through gritted teeth, the remaining balls rubbing against each other hard enough in his vice grip that they squeaked.
Sighing, you gently put your palm on his forearm and pulled Astarion away, hopefully out of earshot of anyone else.
“I don’t care that much about the silly prize, I’d rather we just go on with our date,” You told him quietly, eyes as beseeching as could be. “I can’t stand seeing you this worked up on my account.”
“I’m not worked up, darling, it’s just…” Astarion hesitated, his tone softened and some of the irritable defensiveness leeched out of the hard set of his shoulders. “You do so much for everyone else, this whole damn city… for me. I wanted to do something for you, even if it was simply making sure that you get the world’s most hideous cat toy if you wanted it.”
Your heart felt like it might burst. Astarion always found some new way to surprise you and this was no exception. It’s not that you didn’t think he cared for you! He did show his love for you in his own way at every opportunity that he could. But rather, sometimes it was enough to make you cry that someone cared enough about what you wanted at all that they would inconvenience themselves to make sure you got it. You were so used to putting others first your whole life that any instance of someone doing the same for you was enough to nearly make you choke up to think about it.
After a few barely concealed sniffles, a thought occurred to you. Perking up, you said, “Wait, so you want me to get the prize but you don’t care how I get it, right? As long as I get what I wanted?”
Raising one of his perfectly manicured eyebrows, Astarion drawled out, “Yes, Tav, though I do think it’s a bit far away to steal without some effort.”
You shook your head at Astarion in fond exasperation, taking the balls out of his cool hands without another word. Stepping over to the counter, your hand as quick and certain as a monk’s fist in an unarmed strike, you lobbed one of the leather orbs towards the cup. It flew in without even touching the sides, as if it was guided in with divine intervention. Astarion started to sputter at your side but you still had one left to throw, landing it with the same easy precision as the first.
The kobold operating the stand let out a deafening sigh of relief, scrambling to grab two of the cat plushes and shoving them into your hands, beyond eager to get rid of you both before Astarion had another volatile outburst in his direction. The scaly creature rattled off at you, “Yes, yes, you won, two balls in cup, two prizes. Take your person out of here! Please and thank you, good bye.”
Taking the cue to leave, you grabbed your rewards cheerfully and pressed one into Astarion’s arms as you cradled your own.
“There! Now both of us should be happy! And look, they match!” You beamed at Astarion as you walked along once more, badly sewn cats in hand.
You saw his still baffled and borderline sore-loser pout still marring his lips so you nudged him playfully with your shoulder, explaining, “When I was a kid, I used to go wild at those games. I’d clear them out of their prizes to the point that they’d have posters up barring me from playing. I guess I still haven’t lost my touch.”
After a few more seconds of broody contemplation, Astarion chuckled and looked down at the plush in his grasp, his formerly bad mood breaking away under the light of your better one. “You’re full of surprises, aren’t you?” He murmured as he leaned forward to land a kiss where your jaw curved towards your ear, a spot that never failed to make you shiver. Victorious in accomplishing getting a reaction out of you even if he couldn’t win at a game, Astarion was ready to continue his outing with you.
And if the stuffed cats you won were frequently seen amongst Astarion’s mountain of pillows from then on, well… you were kind enough not to tease him about it.

does jellie have a special deal in the hermit archives? I've been picturing her as a black silhouette w/ purple eyes like how you draw the skulls around scar when he's in spooky mode ( < i know nothing about tma ) but i wanna hear your take ^-^ !!!!!!
i absolutely love that idea. i haven't thought about Jellie Too much in the context of THA, since in my mind she's the equivalent of the Admiral (the name of Georgie Barker's pet cat, a character in the podcast).

What They Dress Up As For Halloween & How They Spend The Holiday
Masterlist
Post Type: Headcanons
Warning(s): Drug Use, Alcohol Use
A/n: Just some headcanons for spoopy day
==========
Nathan:
Goes all out on a demon costume and you can't change my mind
Quite a bit of fake blood (obvs)
Eats some candy, mostly eats chips
His favorite movies to watch during this time of the year are Rob Zombie, Stephen King, and Clive Barker movies and you can't change my mind
Doesn't do too much else
Pickles:
It varies, back during his SnB days he dressed as a playboy bunny one year. And then another time he dressed as a pickle (self-explanatory)
But this time? This time he had the bright idea to grab one of those inflatable dino outfits
Probably spends the night getting high and drinking
BUT!
Instead of smoking, he's taking edibles
And stuffing himself with candy
While watching shitty b-list horror movies like Auntie Lee's Meat Pies or I Drink Your Blood (aka two of my favorites)
Skwisgaar:
Either dresses as an elf or a vampire (or The Rum Tum Tugger from Cats 1998)
This time he chose to dress as Lestat
He spends time in his room playing guitar (any surprise?)
But also binges movies like Casper and Hocus Pocus
*Insert Skwisgaar dancing to Get Down Goblin*
Also carves a pumpkin (and fails)
"bUt sKwIs iS sErIoUs!!!"
He's a goofball, just a dignified goofball who pretends to be serious
Secretly gets a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks
alright im having too much fun with this
Toki:
Dresses up as Mister Mistofolees from Cats 1998
Eats way too many sweets, Charles made sure they were sugar-free, but that didn't stop Toki from getting a major tummy ache
Probably spends the night alternating between Halloween episodes of shows, children's movies, and quality gore-fest horrors
Some notable things he watched: The entire Spongebob Squarepants Halloween DVD, Casper, Hocus Pocus, Earnest Scared Stupid, Human Centipede, Basket Case, etc
Murderface:
THis man doesn't want to dress up too much, so he puts on some devil horns and attaches a devil tail to his belt
Def eats x3 his weight in candy
Does the thing where he watches some jump-scare-filled horror movie and has to sleep in Pickles' room
Charles:
Totally dresses as Westley from The Princess Bride
(omg im imagining it and 💦, i might need to write a smut piece later ft him dressed as Westley)
Doesn't gorge himself on candy, but he does treat himself a little bit
He's one of those people that loves black licorice (aka me) and candy corn (aka not me)
Puts on a horror movie while he works (still dressed as Westley)
Knubbler:
Initially, I was gonna write Toki dressed as Mad Hatter (bc imagine him having a s/o who dresses as Alice omg so cute), but another time
Knubbler dresses as the Mad Hatter (specifically Johnny Depp's Hatter, but I can also see him attempt Andrew-Lee Potts' Hatter)
His eyes make it all the madder
His favorite Halloween candy is Twix, but he also enjoys Sour Patch Kids
Probably watches at least one horror movie
Magnus:
Dresses as a pirate, and you can't change my mind
Of course, this was probably to infiltrate Dethklok's Halloween party
But if he was with someone (or if this was after Doomstar), he probably just stays home and hands out treats to kids
Eats a couple pieces of candy, but then just has one of those microwavable TV dinners
And watches horror movies (Saw, Hellraiser, etc)
==========

I was tagged by @lunar-gltch in a getting to know you meme!! And I knew if I put off doing this until later I’d end up losing track of the meme in a sea of other posts/notifications/etc and never doing it (which happens a lot, I’m sorry), so here we go
LAST SONG
I.............. am not sure lmao. That’s not something I really keep track of unless I literally just listened to it a minute ago or have something I’m listening to on repeat
CURRENTLY READING
I just finished reading The Scarlet Gospels by Clive Barker. And on the comic book front, I just started reading Batman vs. Ra’s Al Ghul by Neal Adams. And frankly I think reading those two things back-to-back while also experiencing the stressed out mind-melt of a cat having emergency surgery (it went ok! and he’s home now, and he’s fine! but it’s been a wild and very sleepless few days) is An Experience (TM). Though at least I understood what was happening in The Scarlet Gospels. I sincerely have no idea what is happening in this comic book.
I also started reading Books of Blood Volume 6 (also by Clive Barker), which I probably should have read before Scarlet Gospels but I love doing things wildly out of order
CURRENTLY WATCHING
I’ve been making my way through Buster Keaton’s entire filmography and also have started watching Kamen Rider 1971 (though I haven’t watched much of either in the past week or so)
(if you write) CURRENTLY WRITING
I’ve been pecking at one of my batjokes fics after not writing much (or......... at all) for a couple months, so at my current pace I’ve calculated that I might actually get a new fic posted in approximately 35.9 years
tagging: Whoever feels like doing it!

In the quick read magazine, they break it down into four-part series.
Inter-species love story:
The unbreakable bond we have with our pups.
Finding a home, leaving them alone, exchanging glancing
Part 2:
How dogs think, top talents, decoding the canine mind. The canine enrichment for the real world & ofc what barks mean. (I ask myself this every day since I have some barkers lol)
Part 3: The Canine Canvas
Bits & bites, how dogs & cats see the world. the nose knows (interesting take) ghost walkers,& canine choreography.
Part 4:
Authentic selves. This dog's got a personality, when I met the world's smartest dog, rewilding, & lastly the five traits of dog people.
A very great read. Highly recommend it if you want to intake different perspectives on dogs.

Hi, Cat. Hope you're having a good night. If you don't mind, could you please help me find a fc for a fairy tale based muse? She's a former servant for a wealthy noble family who later becomes a princess after she breaks the spell the prince is under. She's easily scared at first, but finds her determination and bravery. Race and ethnicity don't matter. I don't have an age decided yet, but anywhere from 21 to 29 should be fine. My first thought was Maris Racal, but I'm having a little trouble finding Bisaya first names, so I thought I'd look at other options. Thanks so much!
Hey, anon! If you're looking for names and culture guides I'd suggest looking over the following by the amazing @minjeongwinters:
quick cheat sheet for bisaya words
volume one: surnames from indigenous philippine languages
so you want to write a filipino muse: a basic guide, from an actual filipino.
But as for more suggestions, most of which have period-style resources, I think Maris would be a great suggestion though!
