lost in the dark (he's got a heavy heart) | Chapter 9

Summary:

In the end, it’s the lantern that betrays him. Its light spills out from the basement’s mouth, staining the walls in faint, ruddy streaks. He’d left the trapdoor open as an escape route— had assumed, ridiculously, that Mumbo was either already here, or was occupied with something far too fiddly to abandon any time soon. Clearly, he’d been wrong— the balloon of Mumbo's confusion leaves a tacky residue on the back of Grian's tongue, centered directly on that dim, emanating glow. Distantly, his mouth wells with water; the hooks seethe from between his teeth, but they fumble in their hunt, stumbling over themselves with thick, disoriented motions before they can latch onto their target. Grian pins his eyes to the soil-crusted boards of the storage room’s ceiling, fighting back a wave of dizziness. If he's exceptionally lucky, Mumbo will assume the trapdoor was left open by accident, close it, and be on his way— none the wiser. If he's supremely unlucky, which is statistically far more likely for him— He'll be caught red-handed.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS TODAY?!?!

IT'S

hey heres a fun thing i just noticed

journal two has an entry on blood rain (and a torn-out page before that which is interesting but thats beside the point)

you have no idea how exciting that is to me. the fact that it can canonically rain blood in gravity falls- is it a spell thing?? do you summon the rain? does it just do that sometimes? was there a point in time where stan had to deal with blood rain, or did it become much less frequent over time like we can assume the monthly zombie uprisings did? is it exclusive to the surrounding forest or does it affect the whole town? did the townsfolk have precautions for the blood rain at some point (considering that it is a biohazard) like with the bats? i have so many questions about gravity falls anomalies i could go on for days about this

on another note- do you think this is where ford sampled human blood from? mayhaps only a small bit of his sample came from the blood rain. is the rain even human. do you think he tasted it anyway to see if he could find a difference

and on a third note- what do you think he used to color the rain red

PROLOGUE

June 6th, 1944 - 0300

Normandy, France

OSS Operative - Julienne

There's a quiet consumption about the darkness. About crickets. About the sun setting and disappearing from the day, only to return a multitude of hours later when you had needed it most. If there were any night to remember, and a night that slowly faded into the early morn, it would be this night. This very night where I wished for darkness for days.

FINALLY AN ADULT I CAN FEEL GOOD TO TALK TO PPL ONLINE

a ghosts graves

In the aftermath of a battle, Phantom, Batman, and Superman could be see talking between each other. 

During a lull in the conversation a tiny girl comes running from underneath caution tape taped around the vicinity, holding a bouquet of marigolds between her small hands. She’s out of breath and seems to be embarrassed when she stands before the heroes, Batman reacts the quickest to the sudden encounter. Asking her about why shes here and what the problem is, he’s about to ask about her parents when she interrupts with “i have something for mister Phantom”. 

Danny who had been only half listening was caught off guard, he looks at her and tries for a reassuring smile but his confusion must show through because she suddenly looks down shyly at her flowers. 

“I heard from mommy that you put flowers on graves for people you like, ” she starts, “i don't know where yours is though, so i got you flowers to put it wherever it is”. She’s obviously embarrassed about interrupting, but she says the words with a form of determination. Suddenly what seems to be her mother comes running from out of the crowd. 

“I am so, so, sorry for Miya, i didn't mean to loose sight of her, she slipped away, we’ll get out of your hair now. ” the woman says in a rush, gently tugging the child back from the slack jawed heroes. Danny can just make out her gently reprimanding the child for her behaviour when he suddenly steps forward. “Wait, wait, wait” he says quickly, crouching down to the child now hiding a bit behind the mother, “you got me flowers. . . so i can put them on my grave?” the tiny nod he gets from that has him smiling, “you wanted to put flowers on my grave?” is asked with excitement, gaining n even bigger nod in return. 

He takes a small step forward, still crouched, and asks “are you alright with me hugging you?”, the nod lets him quickly move forward a spin the child around in a tight hug, laughing. He smiles brightly at the girl, holding her in his arms with enough space to make sure the flowers were safe, who is smiling back just as brightly. Danny laughs, “no ones ever given me flowers before! And you want them on my grave!” the actions have gained the attention of both civilians and other heroes, Danny could honestly care less though, someone wants to put flowers on his grave! Someone went through the effort of giving him flowers! He is so excited!

Both the mother, Superman, and Batman all look uncomfortable, “have you. . . never gotten. . ahem. . Flowers before?” Superman asks, “i mean, you look young so. . . have your parents never. . . ?”, the ending never gets finished but its definitely implied what he wants to really ask. Danny doesn't care, its not exactly important, right?

He looks at the heroes and says cheerily “i don't think my parents even know im dead!” before looking back at the child in his arms, not seeing all the shocked, pale faced staring( minus Batman, he never emotes, like, at all). 

Eventually the kid has to leave due to dangerousness of the area, but not before a final hug and happy goodbye from Phantom after she hands the flowers to the undead hero. Danny says his goodbyes to the surrounding heroes, not understanding why they all look at him funny as he carries around the marigold bouquet before he flies off. He holds the flowers close to makes sure they dont get destroyed by the wind, but he cant help a few happy loops and twirls in his flight home. 

The first ever flowers for his grave, how exciting!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ever since then the heroes and a few civilians make sure to give Phantom flowers each time they see him for his grave. Phantom is so excited people want to give him flowers each time a new set is given to him.

(from betrayedthem!!) he is openly watching ovtsa work, gaze lingering on her muscles as she swings an axe, splitting lumber with ease. upon being caught, a sly smile give impish light to his eyes, belying the desire that lurks beneath. his response is languid and easy, though his tone teeters on the edge of suggestive. " oh, i am simply worshipping our glorious leader. would you rather i, ah... take more direct actions? "

@deathlusts // random asks, always accepting!  

ovsta had been helping with the cult's latest project: an updated missionary building, she'd been lugging around supplies, and currently? is chopping lumber. so, she lines up her trusty battle axe carefully, then swings down with a grunt, splintering wood giving away to the well-sharpened edge. ✝️

the sun of high-noon beating down, she absentmindedly wipes the sweat from her forehead, pushing some of her wool up and out of her face. that's when she notices him, narinder, standing in the near -by growing crop fields, simply staring with a flicking, interested tail. ✝️

ovtsa lets out a soft laugh, " narinder, what are looking at, hm? are you not supposed to be work? " she asks with a quirked brow, and a teasing tone, while casually leaning on her axe's handle. ✝️

'oh, i am simply worshipping our glorious leader'--she feels her cheeks flush pink, if she hadn't already been feeling feverous in these tempera -tures, those words certainly made things heat up. her smile grows, red eyes suddenly avoiding out of shyness, and to check if, well...✝️

" co-come now... followers may hear you! " but, she still giggles. ✝️

its official i am going 2 include cam in hunting haunting

woooooo.

YESSSSSSSS ITS FINALLY HERE WOOOOOOO🥳

I hope you enjoy this hermitcraft animation meme
