i'm literally SO neighborly instead of ignoring the fire alarm of a nearby apartment forever I went upstairs to make sure nothing was actually burning down and ended up helping someone who just moved in and was too short to take down the fire alarms on the ceiling

If you told me a year ago that my yearly obsession would be queer 1960s/70s puppet horror well I would say. Well. I don’t know what I’d say but its definitely a coincidence that there’s two of them.

Hi neighbor! I hope you are doing a wonderful day and oh! may I request all the welcome home characters with a reader who can escape situations, or should I say clever to be specific, say for exmaple, reader is handcuffed but they managed to get it off without finding a key. I found this in one of my old subject books and got this idea. Thats all, thank you!
Of course neighbor! That is such a wonderful idea! I didn’t know who you wanted so I did Wally and Sally! I didn’t know who you wanted sorry! You have a wonderful day as well neighbor!
Welcome home with an escape artist Reader
Summary:Doesn’t everything town have their own escape artist?
Characters?: Wally and Sally
Romantic or platonic?:Can be seen as either
Notes:I love escape artist like their so cool!! This took me so many times because my phone just got me out the app multiple times but tell me it you wanted different characters or all of them!
Warnings?:Reader is referred as Squiddy and squid
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wally Darling
-He’s very impressed! He’s never seen such things!
-Sometimes he goes to Sally’s play area to watch you do your random escape activity,he does get worried because he doesn’t know if you’ll escape or be injured but yet you’ve never had either yet!
-If you do get some small injuries he takes care of them like a good neighbor! He does scold you like a mom but it’s so hard to take it seriously with his adorable face! (He is very adorable and he knows it!)
-You’ve just finished your activity and everyone was clapping,you never do seize to amaze them with your ability. You let a chuckle out as Wally came over to check on you. He likes to make sure you have no injuries so you can’t hide or lie about them. It’s comforting :)
Sally Starlet
-She started the squid/Squiddy nickname train! When you first did your act she named you that quickly! Soon everyone called you that as it felt natural in a way!
-She picks the stuff you escape sometimes! She makes sure you won’t die or get badly injured as she doesn’t want her favorite Squiddy getting hurt from doing something they enjoy!
-If you do get a small injurie she takes you to howdy or Wally as she’s not good at taking care of injuries but she is good at making you take care of yourself!
- “Amazing job Squiddy!” You smiled at the jumping,clapping,and smiling star in front of you. She helped you up from the ground because it was a cooler she chose this time but a bit more difficult. “Thanks Sal,it was tricky but nothing can hold me!” “That’s right!” Your so happy to have her as a friend!

Jenny's Signature
"Jenny! Ma petit songbird! I have a new scent I would like you to share with you today!" Corey Cologne said, sounding excited to share his latest perfume with his favorite customer.
"Oh? I wonder what lovely scent you have created today, Corey." Jenny Jamboree said with curiosity in her voice.
Corey held out his perfume bottle near her face. Not too close, but just enough for the scented mist to hit her button nose.
"Close your eyes and mouth as well. You're about to smell, oh, so swell!" Corey chimed as he spritzed Jenny.
The mist tickled her nose and face as she sniffed the air around her.
"Well, Jenny? What do you think?" Corey asked, anticipated to hear what his neighbor thinks about it.
The scent smelled very familiar to her. It was almost as if the scent that reminded her favorite things. The scent of the rainbow trees after an early morning rain shower, the scent of the wildflowers in full bloom on a sunny afternoon, and the smell of her favorite treat to eat. A hint of pomegranate.
"Oh, Corey! This is your absolute best scent yet! It makes me want to sing and dance about how much of a rocking jam it is!" Jenny said, followed by her singing a little ditty about the perfume.
"What do you call it?" Jenny said with wonder in her voice.
"I call it, "Jenny des Bois."That's is French for, "Jenny from the Woods." Corey said, followed by a wink from the charismatic gentle giant.
Jenny couldn't help but let out a small giggle at the perfume being named after her.
"Teehehehe! Oh, Corey... That Sounds like a Jam!"
-End of Script-
Special thank you to @weevmo for the fantastic art commission! Words can not express how truly wonderful this art piece is!

guys guuuys so i live on a very narrow street in the city of Baltimore between two large high-traffic streets. It’s the smallest a street can be to not be considered an alley: it’s one way, cars can’t park on the sides, and kinda dark. Last year we got ZERO trick or treaters. I had to sit on the corner of one of the bigger streets to give things out. But this year i was determined. I took out a chair, put on my warmest flannel bat costume, stuck satchel in a doggie costume and sat outside. One little old lady came out to give satchel treats. “I don’t think we’ll get many this year.” She said. I agreed but stayed out.
And uhm. 🥹 a neighbor came out from across the street and introduced himself. He just moved in. He was happy to see me sitting out cause he wasn’t sure if kids would knock (and they generally don’t, tbh.) so he also set up a table and chair and sat outside.
And then another neighbor came out.
And then another.
Guys we were flagging down groups of kids walking by. Yelling “WE GOT CANDY! WE GOT TRICKS AND TREATS!” on our block six-seven entire houses came out to sit on their stoops and give out candy! We got TONS of kids! And people talked and got to know each other!! Because i sat outside first!!!!!
And at the end of the night, when everyone was going inside and pulling in their chairs, the new neighbor told me thanks for sitting outside, that I started it all. And like. Waaaughjghghgbg. I’m so happy.

Neighborly Love [02]
Pairing: Coworker!Dean Winchester x Coworker!Reader
Word Count: 1131
Warnings: nothing ? trauma dumping lol but nothing that we didnt know already
Summary: Coworker!AU– Dean Winchester is the newbie around the office, and also your new cubicle neighbor. You have him all figured out from the start: a jerk, or so you think. It doesn’t help that he won’t stop flirting with you. Will Dean be able to convince you otherwise? 
A/N: oop hey guys *shyly tucks hair behind my ears* its been a while huh i was recently reminded that i actually told someone that id be posting the second chapter in december 2022 so we all know how that turned out... but anyways the only thing i can think of is #the hoes are gonna LOVE this have no fear y'all mother is here to feed you with a light chapter of lunch fluff
Masterlist | Neighborly Love Masterlist
You had just finished the fourth page of your project report, starting to double check for mistakes, when Dean cleared his throat. A quick glance showed him standing by the partition, his jacket hanging from his arm and an expectant look on his face. 
“Huh?” You asked, confused. You continued to proofread while you waited for his reply, your eyebrows furrowing as you tried to reword an awkward sentence. 
“I asked if you wanna get lunch,” he said. Your fingers hovered frozen over the keyboard. 
“Lunch?” You repeated, finally turning in your chair to face him properly. 
“Yeah, you know, the meal between breakfast and dinner? Eaten around midday? We get an hour off work? Which is right about now?” He teased, his green eyes twinkling with playfulness. 
“I know what lunch is.” You pretended to be annoyed to hide your amusement. “I was just processing the thought of lunch with you.” 
“Ouch,” he joked. “And here I was, doing a good deed by inviting you to lunch so you wouldn’t think of your breakup.” 
“Well, I wasn’t thinking about the breakup until right now,” you groaned. You had been so preoccupied with your report, you hadn’t given your breakup a single thought, but now, you had a whole hour to do nothing but that. 
“Then we’ll just have to go to lunch to take your mind off it,” he responded with a smirk. You debated continuing your work instead, but gave Dean’s offer a second thought.
“Beats work, I guess.” 
You saved your work and turned off the monitor before grabbing your purse. Your eyes swept the desk as you rose from the chair, and you had one arm in your jacket when you saw his grin. 
“What?” You asked, a little wary of his response.
“Nothing.” He was unsuccessful in feigning nonchalance. You gave him a pointed look.
“I…” He trailed off as he collected his thoughts. “I just think we got off on the wrong foot, and I’m hoping this lunch will be better,” he admitted. He rubbed the back of his neck and his eyes were averted, hinting towards his nervousness. You were thrown off by his truthfulness, but after a moment, you were surprised to find that you agreed.
“Yeah,” you said with a smile. The grin he returned conveyed his relief, and you swore the air felt a little lighter. “Come on, then. Part of inviting me to lunch is actually going.”
“Alright,” he chucked. “Where should we go? Lady’s choice.” 
The diner across the street was nothing special, but it was close and fast– two things you appreciated. The hostess seated the two of you upon arrival, and within five minutes, your orders were taken.
“So, Y/N Y/L/N, tell me about yourself,” Dean said, after the waitress set down your drinks. 
“There’s not much to tell,” you warned. 
“Oh?” He raised an eyebrow.
“Yeah,” you said with a shrug. “When you’re an only child and both of your parents are on-call surgeons, it’s kinda lonely and boring. I read a lot as a kid and focused on school. I always went to class and ran for student-body president. Don’t get me wrong, though, I had a social life and friends. I dated a couple of boys and fooled around with a couple more, but nothing wild. And then I went to college, but that wasn’t anything wild either.”
You were quiet for a moment, giving yourself time before continuing. 
“I met Zach during the second half of junior year. We were in the same class and, I don’t know, I guess we kinda just clicked. We got coffee a couple of times and worked on a couple of projects together. Even after the semester was over, we kept in contact and eventually he asked me out and we started dating. After graduation, I got this job and he took an offer at a tech company two hours away.” 
A familiar lump began to form in your throat. “It’s been a year since then, and I thought things were going fine between us, but clearly they weren’t. And I–” 
Your vision blurred from the tears brimming your eyes. You took a deep breath. Dean offered the glass in front of you, and you sipped at it while the waitress set down your plates. Your mouth watered at the sight of the cheeseburger in front of you. 
“Anyways, enough about me,” you said, once the waitress had left. “What about you?” 
Dean shrugged in response. 
As you ate, he talked about the house fire that took his mother when he was four, leaving his dad to take care of him and his younger brother, Sam, who was only six-months-old at the time. He shared how his dad turned to alcohol after the tragedy, and how it was the cause of the car accident that killed him ten years later. Bobby, a close family friend without kids of his own, adopted the brothers right after. Dean struggled through high school and vowed to never set foot on a school campus again once he graduated. He lived at Bobby’s until Sam finished high school, working as a mechanic at Bobby’s body shop. From there, Dean bounced around, taking the odd job here and there.
You listened to his story with rapt attention, admiring his animated gestures and shining eyes as he talked about Sam, who was now in his last year of college. The brothers had remained close over the years, despite their physical distance.
“Eventually, after working so many different jobs, I had gained experience that employers valued– at least, enough to overlook my lack of college degree– and I ended up here,” he concluded with a shrug. He was relaxed against the cushion of the booth, reaching out his hand to swipe a french fry through ketchup. His fingers drummed on the table while he chewed. 
“Thanks for sharing that with me,” you said softly, offering him a small smile. His fingers stopped their tapping.
“Thanks for taking me up on lunch,” He responded, just as softly. His forearms rested against the table as he subtly leaned closer, mirroring you. The sunlight hit him at the perfect angle, revealing the flecks of gold amongst his vivid green eyes and the smaller, fainter freckles dusting his cheekbones. Your breath hitched at the sight.
The corners of his mouth slowly raised to a smile– the movement catching your attention. Your gaze lowered to his lips and you found yourself wondering if they were as soft as they looked. 
“Like what you see?” He was parroting his first words to her using the same, smooth flirtatious tone that had irritated every nerve in your body yesterday, but today, you found you didn’t mind it one bit.

A friend has finally arrived home! Though I think Quinn has found him first... I have to wonder if Barnaby would disapprove of a cat movin' in on his best pal. Quinn doesn't seem too worried though; I think he likes the new friend in our house! What could possibly go wrong?

BTW if you like retro 1970s childrens media aesthetics, underlying eldritch(??) horror, and an ARG adjacent style of narrative that commits to the bit HARD, please go support @partycoffin and their project Welcome Home. It's a style of narrative in a format I legitimately thought I'd never see again past the days of web 1.0 and Clown and the team go above and beyond to make it come alive.

Hello! Do you think you could write about how the welcome home neighbors would react to a musician!reader?
Like someone who plays a ton of instruments, and plays around the neighborhood.
love your writing! ❤️
Aww thanks neighbor and of course I can!! Also I’m sorry for the long wait neighbor! Been busy with school!
Welcome home with a Musician!GN!Reader
Summary:every neighborhood has their own musician! Don’t they?
Characters:I’m doing them all! Expect poppy as I had 0 ideas on what to write for her sorry! Usually I’d add poppy yet I couldn’t as I had no ideas sorry!!
Warnings?:Reader gets called symphony or melody but it’s bc of their hobbie! Reader is said to be soft spoken but it can be changed! Some Creepy stuff I think,idk it’s mentioned Reader’s song reminds people to much of home the uncanny one or them secretly saying things through music
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wally darling
-he LOVES music! After hearing the audio of him singing I fully believe that he loves music and singing!
-Often times when you play your music Wally ask if he can sing as you play. You say of course and you two become a wonderful musician duo,honestly it sounds like paradise as you play your instrument and he sings
-He sometimes watches your hands as they work the instrument. He’s very confused on how it works or how the noises are made but yet they sound so elegant and perfect when you do it!
-Everyone heard the familiar tune of their favorite musician and the soft humming of the neighborhood darling. It was always a calm and peaceful song which made it better as almost everyone had a bad day. “Ya think it’s working wals?” The soft voice spoke from the musician. “Of course,our friends always cheer up when you and I play!” You smiled at that and continued. That’s your favorite thing in this neighborhood,everyone is so positive
Barnaby B. Beagle
-he finds it interesting,it’s mentioned Barnaby taught Wally to sing so I think sometimes on rare occasions you two have a duet
-when he can’t sleep he’ll ask if you can play something for him,often it’ll be through the phone and you both end up asleep. It’s very cute to see!
-Sometimes the others just find you two,no movements,you playing your instrument,him staring at you as if you two are silently discussing something…they don’t know what but it worries them whenever they find out it happens more often then they think…
-Wally was walking to Barnaby’s house to ask a question but once he opened the door he saw a sight he wished stop. It’s was the silent song or what the others have named it. “Ahem!” Soon you stopped and Barnaby looked at Wally smiling. “Wally buddy! What do you need?” “I wanted to know what you do when your bored,I’m out of paint and do not know what to do!” “Well I practice my jokes” soon you chimed in. “Usually I’m with others or just making imaginary stories in my head about every day objects..” “hmm…thank you friends!” “Of course bud!” You just nodded as Wally left still not completely over the silent song.
Sally Starlet
-She absolutely loves it! She loves all music (sometimes sad ones) no matter what language even if she can’t understand!
-She’ll ask if you can play some music for her plays. She often gives you the descriptions of what the feeling should be or at least feel like!
-Sometimes when she feels sad and lonely she’ll go to you and listen to you play your music. It comforts her a lot!
-The play was beauty and the beast,a favorite of her because of Belle’s character design and personality. Everyone was in awe as they heard the balls music be play from your instrument which may I say you looked very focused on. The play was splendid and the music just added everything to it!
Eddie Dear
-He absolutely loves joyful and happy music but he loves hearing it from you! He hasn’t heard live music since…since…oh he cannot remember when but he believes he’s heard it live before!
-Sometimes certain songs or melodys remind of an unknown memory. When that happens every sees him just sitting beside you,eyes shut,sorta leaning on you,and listening to you play. It reminds them of how a son would wait beside his mother or father but accidentally fall asleep on the floor
-Eddie does love it when music from you is playing as he does his job adds more joy to him! Everyone sees him with more bounce and joy in his steps which is honestly such a sight to see!
- “Heya Melody!” You looked at the familiar mailman waving at you as you softly put down your instrument in its case so you could go walk and greet Eddie. “Heya Eds…any mail today?” Your voice was soft as usually and sorta shy but he heard perfectly fine as he smiled and brought out some mail for you. “Of course symphony!” “Thanks eds” “no problem!” You waved goodbye as he left to another house,such a sweet guy!
Frank Frankly
-He is intrigued and interested. I feel like he likes to learn about unknown things he doesn’t understand or know about and your instrument falls under the ‘how does it work and make sound?’ Category!
-He’ll ask questions about your music and instrument and why you chose it. He wants to learn more about his neighbors hobby and his neighbor!
-When he’s to frustrated he’ll just silently sit beside you and listen to the sound from your instrument. It always calms him down,he listens to music but yours is special and is just perfect to calm him down.
-You and Eddie were butterfly watching as a new butterfly flew to your instrument and landed on it. “Woah…” “seems to like your music has well!” That made you smile as Frank took a picture of the sight. It wasn’t surprising as butterflies and moths always land on your instrument
Julie Joyful
-She adores it! She adores and listens to all type of music even if it’s not her type or if she doesn’t understand it!
-She will hum a tone as you play because she kinda wants to join but doesn’t know how! It makes everyone feel so warm and comfortable yet feels like home!
-Julie will sing a few silly lyrics if she wants to! Often you play your tone she’ll get you to dance with her as she wants you to dance with her!
-Humming and a tune playing was heard,Wally wasn’t singing but he knew it was Julie. You two often do duets randomly. “You got an amazing voice Juls” “Aww thanks Melody! Your song and little tune is quite impressive!” “Thanks,lots of hard work!”
Howdy Pillar
-He finds it very very comforting to hear a new sound of tunes! Most times it’s just his market’s music playing so hearing something completely new gives him comfort!
-He does get very stress so when he is stress he’ll go to you so he can listen to your tune. It’s very comforting to him as you play a tune that sounds to much like home…
-He does hum a tune you play often as he works without noticing! It shows you how much you play the tune and how it sticks to them like glue! Yet whenever they sing it they only remember some memory they didn’t know exist
-People we’re going in and out yet they heard him humming the tune,the tune Y/N plays. Howdy does it often without realizing yet no one dares point it out! They all find it wholesome and adorable! Howdy remembers running along the woods as his ma watched him,he ended up falling but then got pulled up by someone who looked a little to much like Y/N yet….he knows he’s never seen Y/N before but his ma did say he forgets something from his past time to time so maybe that’s why!
