#pls open the image bc i put too much detail here
Note
hob gore pls? 👁️👁️
Rubs hands together evilly
(Warning: If you do not wish to read about subjects such as death and gore, scroll past this. It gets a bit visceral, involves mentions of being staked with things & having throats cut - Consider yourself warned)
Ok so for this one i don't have a teaser pic, namely bc i've literally only just started drawing it and so far there is simply a pose with no distinctive Hob features, so there wouldn't be much to look at - BUT! i will gleefully, and with much delight, detail what i envision for this drawing. As well as sprinkle in a new-immortal-Hob hc bc i live for angst.
The main aspect of this drawing is going to involve Hob being speared to the ground, right through the chest. He's kneeling, pinned in position by the spear that has staked itself into the ground behind him. Here is my stick-figure rendition of the pose:
Tumblr media
(the humour of having a serious warning at the top of this post, near immediately followed by the least horrific image of an ms paint stick figure, is not lost on me)
As you can imagine, its not all that fun for Hob. He's grasping at the shaft of the spear, holding onto it just for the sake of holding onto something, looking at his blood covered hands, or perhaps the entrance point where its made a home for itself lodged in his chest...I haven't decided where he's looking, but it'll figure itself out as i draw it. I like to think this is the point where Hob realises he's immortal- this is either just before or right after he's put the pieces together, dying on the battlefield only to wake up however long later, still pinned to the rain drenched ground. I've mentioned it before but personally i like to think that Hob dies a few times before realising he's immortal - this seems impossible, i know. How do you die and not know it? well, walk with me here for a moment.
Using a previous example i discussed - Hob gets his throat slit. Mid fight, adrenaline pumping, one blade slashed across his neck the moment his head divots, and he's gone.
Except he isn't, because he wakes up. And at first maybe he does think he's dead- its silent, too silent for the violence he was just a part of, and he's cold, like the dead usually are. But he opens his eyes and there is a mortal sky above him. There is a mortal field, filled with mortal bodies, and only one of them sits up. He remembers a blade slashing him, haltingly like his mind is trying to reject the experience, but it's there nonetheless. He was sure, in that split second where the blood gushed and his eyes widened, that he would die...but he didn't? the dead don't wake, not for anything - Hob would know. And when he reaches a hand up to his neck, there is a gash. But its shallow - bleeding sluggishly and slow, yes. But shallow. There is a copious amount of blood covering him from the neck down, a blood-soaked patch of grass where his head was, red smeared across the palm he had just felt his very heartbeat with.
He is alive. He is alive, and there is a wound across his neck, and an obscene amount of blood for one man- but there isn't just one man. It was shock, Hob thinks later when he's staggered to his feet and stumbled over the nearest hill, bow in hand. It was shock that made him pass out- a knife across the throat is bound to shock anyone, it wasn't as deep as he thought it was but then...of course a knife through the neck is going to feel bloody intense, no matter how shallow. So it was shock that made the world go black, and the blood that cooled was not just his own but a mix of the men who had died next to him. Medieval weapons are nothing to turn your nose up at, the dismembered and crushed bodies that laid next to him, on him, had added to the life-ending amount of blood Hob had woken in.
This is just one example of the handful of times where i believe Hob Gadling 100% absolutely fuckin kicked the bucket, but was in just the right circumstances to explain it away when he woke up in a pool of his own damn blood. Now how is this relevant to the drawing?...sorry for the weird academic lines i feel like im doing a presentation and have to convince u all of my point rn my bad
This drawing is when Hob discovers he's immortal (or, a memory of this fundamental shift in his existence & view of the world) - that perhaps the mysterious near-deaths he's had leading up to this were not as 'near' as he thought they were, and that maybe he did just actually fuckin die. Sorta like that guy in ep 6 now that i think of it, the whole "Wow that came so close to hitting me!!" and Deaths just watching him like "So close?? Really?? :D" Bc he absolutely dies here...and then wakes up. Still stuck on the spear. And how do you even comprehend that...i've gone on long enough so i wont delve into that just yet but. Yeah. Hob dies a few times on this spear while figuring out how to get himself out of this supremely fucked up situation- i wont be drawing him getting unstuck or anything, its just going to be him slam dunked by a spear, but like. There's absolutely a story behind it. So that'll be the main focus - Hob pinned like a butterfly, a little reminiscent of the 'Has Hob Gadling been Buried Alive' post i made bc im a sucker for angst (at this point i think that is. incredibly evident) and these two particular things (buried alive and pinned by a spear) present a uniquely helpless situation. Like its not just getting stabbed or shot, hes actively stuck and has to un-stick himself (haha) in order to start properly healing.
The second part of the drawing will not require NEARLY as long an explanation, and will merely be like. a close up of Hobs face, covered in blood. Separate situation to the spear incident, this ones probably just gonna look like hes dead on the floor. Idk what go into me to draw either of these things, i just kinda wanted to explore his immortality in a visual way? and i will absolutely tw both of them and put the new like. content warning things on them bc i am realising now after writing all this down how dark it is...listen i blame Hannibal for skewing my tolerance to stuff like this, you cant watch that show and come out of it being normal about these things. Anyway...haven't decided if the spear drawing is going to be Hob actually in the 1380 - 1390's, or if hes just having a nightmare about it, bc ill be real. I really like the form of the body i did, and i dont really wanna cover it up with clothes but...i feel like its just strange if he's in his damn boxers so. We'll see.
Thank you for the ask!! this has been circling my brain for weeks i hope i don't scare too many people with it...
(also I have an ask for the bandits drawing so that ones covered, but it's 2am and i really need to start going to bed earlier so I will answer it tomorrow!! I'm excited for that one, nearly as excited as I was for this post, bc I really like how it's coming along...except for one aspect, but...tomorrow...)

Marty with superpowers headcannons?
(Again, I have no idea how the science behind any of this would work so just bear with me)
So the exposure to plutonium without cell rejuvenation gives him superpowers. Marty can briefly manipulate time by freezing and speeding up time around him, and he can manipulate space by phasing in and out through solid material
basically since his powers came from the DeLorean and interaction between radiation and the flux capacitor, Marty basically becomes a weak human flux capacitor and can manipulate space and time(sketchy science is sketchy)
He discovers them about a week after part three ends because his body finally transitions out of survival mode.
Through the trilogy, Marty is running on like 12 total hours of sleep, 1 meal, no water, 4 head injuries, 3 of which are traumatic brain injuries he doesn’t really accidentally draw on said powers. He’s weak, pretty injured, and exhausted, and his body’s probably focused on healing and staying upright, not manipulating space and time (also I always forget that by definition and time spend unconscious, Marty sustained three traumatic brain injuries in the span of 18 days? That’s gonna be fun for his family doctor to deal with at his next wellness checkup)
After he returns to lone pine 1885, Marty hasn’t really been sleeping bc he’s plagued by near constant nightmares and he’s been super on edge and anxious so he hasn’t really been eating and he’s overwhelmed and exhausted and just crashes in bed one day. And his body is like “oh we’re finally resting! we feel better! Let’s check out these new body functions!” (Again, This is not how bodies work but just humor me)
Then, the next morning, Marty wakes up under the bed? And Marty knows he’s a weird sleeper and he kinda just assumes he thrashed and moved around in his sleep and fell off of the bed, but that’s not possible bc he’s in the exact position he was on top of the bed. There’s also this heavy plastic keyboard case next to him, blocking the only side of the bed he could’ve rolled under from. Otherwise he would’ve had to roll over his guitar, fallen off of the bed, and rolled back under?
But Marty is 100% not in the mood to deal with any more strangeness and weird situations. He’s already overwhelmed and confused, he misses Doc so much it physically hurts, and he’s got real gigs lined up through the holidays and he really doesn’t have the mental energy for this so he just kinda ignores it and goes to school
But strange things keep happening? In math, when he knocks his calculator off of his desk during a test, panicking about how embarrassing it’s going to be when it hits the ground and makes and noise, making everyone turn around and look at him, the calculator just slows down, almost ceasing it’s free fall until Marty grabs it? And the few people who were turning around to look at Marty also have stopped, heads turned halfway to Marty before jerking back to their tests?
The worst one is when he’s on his way home, about to get on his skateboard. Instead for getting on, though, his foot goes through his skateboard. And just when Marty thinks that ordeal is over, his hand goes through the bumper of a car he tries to grab, sending Marty spiraling into the street. As cars zip past him and Marty’s in the middle of an intersection, thinking about how Doc was right and this little car surfing habit of his is gonna end him up in the hospital, the cars around him suddenly stop and seem to freeze then move in slow motion, just long enough for Marty to get to safety before continuing to speed down the streets as if nothing ever happened
Marty continues his commute home, feeling absolutely sick to his stomach, because there’s really one reason he could be passing through solid objects. He’s fading from existence. And that doesn’t explain the other weird stuff, but Marty’s way too worked up to consider the little details. The only thought running through is head is that there’s absolutely no way this can be happening again because this was supposed to be done it was all supposed to be better now
He goes home to get his truck, barely concealing his near-hyperventilating from Biff who always seems to be waxing one of their cars, and his dad who’s sitting on the porch, and drives to Doc’s. The lab is obviously empty, but being here makes him feel a little safer, and a little more clear headed.
He doesn’t eat or sleep that night and that puts his body back into survival mode, so his powers calm down again and Marty is beyond confused but just chalks all that up to exhaustion induced hallucinations? Which is a little scary because Marty is absolutely sure that all of that happen, and he’s really hoping he’s not going insane, but he’d rather be insane than fading from existence because option b means he messed up the time stream and that means that a bunch of other people potentially in danger and Marty’s already bucking under the guilt of 1985 A, he doesn’t need this too.
Obviously Marty has not been the same since time travel, but Jennifer notices he seems extra off as of late, so after school that day, she drags him to her house and asks her to tell her everything. And he knows he shouldn’t, but Doc’s not here and desperately needs to talk to someone and Jennifer is always so grounded and level headed and he needs that right now.
After 18 days of trauma chaos and Marty’s new affliction is described, Jennifer, who is a huge comic book and science fiction nerd, tells him in the most cheerful but matter of fact voice that he obviously has superpowers!
Marty just gives her his signature look of wide eyed, panicked confusion
Jennifer reassures him and tells him to leave a note for Doc where Doc left the DeLorean for him and ‘55 Doc. Marty likes that idea, but he’s still not entirely sure about the whole superpowers thing. So Jennifer tells him to attempt doing those things on purpose, and sure enough, all the things Jennifer makes fall off of her desk chair, including herself (which is the scariest trust fall of Marty’s life) slow just long enough for Marty to right them. Similarly his hands and legs pass through objects. Jennifer suggests he try to phase through the wall to see how strong his powers are, but Marty has a horrifying image of him stuck between Jennifer’s bedroom and closet wall forever, and he decides he’s not trying that own without Doc.
After a few trial runs, a very excited Jennifer’s going on about all the good things he could do the community with these powers and all the cool things he could do, but Marty’s anxious and overwhelmed and just wants to lay low. So he has powers, doesn’t mean he has to use them. Besides, Marty doesn’t know how to explain to Jennifer that after all the ‘good’ he did in 1985A and other timelines, the best way for Marty to serve the community is to probably stay far far far away from where he can mess anything up. Jennifer is, of course very understanding and she accompanies him to leave a letter for Doc
That night, Marty’s scared awake by a sudden rap on his window and wakes up to see Doc? And after Marty’s fight of flight response calms and his heartbeats slows enough for him to function, he just kind of sits there, convinced this is a dream and any second now, Doc will open up his lab coat, revealing bullet wounds and collapse and Marty will have to watch again. But then Doc calls his name and tells him he got his letter. And Marty is overwhelmed with joy and after flinging open the window and tackling Doc with a hug and then giving Clara and the boys another one, they go to the lab and figure everything out
Marty does, indeed, have superpowers. He’s basically a mini flux capacitor and Doc is over the moon thrilled, then panics and checks Marty over to make sure he’s still fine and healthy and that there are no negative side effects, then goes back to being thrilled
Idk what direction I wanna take this in? Whether Marty is just a normal person doing normal person things who just happens to have superpowers or if he and Doc get another crazy adventure, this time, involving superpowers, but yeah. If anyone wants to add on and take this in a direction, pls do bc I have no idea what comes next, lol.

pls talk about your thoughts about chanhee and also the other concepts!! I always have such a hard time interpreting music and videos but i love to read about it
“bestie pls share ur thoughts on make your own concepts specifically chanhee’s but any others that are ur fave too 🎤- mar”
omg mar thank you for enabling me all day today 😭🥺🧡 thenks bestie ily :,)) and thank you too anon ! i should preface that T-T i have not read any other theories or analyses so these are just my opinions / impressions but i hope it’s entertaining to read about haha :p ! (feel free @ anyone to add on or share your thoughts too ! :,))
HYUNJAE - okay so audio cues... if you listen to the beginning there’s a sound of a bomb going off before the music starts ? and that ties into the dystopian / cyborg aesthetics that jump out at me of course, but what i immediately thought of was their no air perfo ? like we know hyunjae in the no air mv got that shot where he’s laying in the bathtub filled with water but also their kingdom performance with it also had those underwater shots ! so i think it ties into that... i feel like we saw in gen z, he’s a very straightforward person he says things on his mind which can come off as blunt but he thinks it’s better than not saying it ? which is interesting bc i think that speaks to his self- determined personality, he’s much more inclined to do whatever it takes to get something done, which i think falls perfectly in line with the “make your own air” phrase that he gets, if it’s something he needs he makes it himself, in a situational sense methinks u.u 
 JUYEON - JUYEON’S DJSKHDG i’m waiting for dri’s essay but in essence we see the gen z “juyeon is not such a good boy” shot and these text bubbles that pop up that say “sexy” “you so hot” “such a bad boy” and tbh i like this ‘concept’ ? for him better than his gen z one ? it’s not bc of the concept itself but i like the idea that he can “make your own character” as in he has the capability and power to be whoever he wants to ! you see him throwing white paint at the gen z canvas and i think ?! that’s symbolic of like a fresh canvas ! of remaking himself to whatever he wants bc the canvas is now blank again thanks to the white paint and flowers usually indicate spring ? so renewal and stuff like that ! i really like his, it’s also fun word play on “character” which has been juyeon’s intro in tbz (bc his name sounds like main character in korean) but yea :o ! i really love his the idea he can just repaint / paint over a literal image of him gives it the possibility of becoming smth new and that’s so so cool
CHANGMIN - SCREEEEECH okie um oh boy um *windows shutting down noises* this was so so so very different from his gen z stuff but i actually think BOTH are equally perfect for him ? the way that he set up the sparklers and neon lights on this very obviously trashy and kind of rundown rooftop with the cityline behind him is so ?!?!? LITERALLY making his own stage as his tagline goes, sort of like how the physical stage itself does not matter but rather it’s changmin himself that makes the stage special ! i talked about this in gabi’s set that i rbed ;-;/ but changmin puts a lot A LOT of stake in his position as a dancer it means almost everything to him as a form of expression from what i can see ? so he’s always trying his best to put forward the best performance possible and seeing this segment makes me feel like he’s doing just that ! pouring himself into it to make his stage pls i care him 
HAKNYEON - god i’m a jusadan but just u.u rest in peace me, i’ll ... T_T be kind of honest this one confuses me a little ? i have assumptions and i feel like i know ... quite a bit about haknyeon (LMAO) my best guess is it has smth to do with self assurance ...? the way he’s framed and the fact that he’s sitting on a bed in the middle of a church surrounded by candles gives me christ figure symbolism (where my ap english takers at :/) and the light that perfectly frames him in a halo gives me angel vibes too, but the tagline of “make your own romance” paired with him kissing his reflection makes me think it’s about self love ;;;; from what i can tell haknyeon has always been someone who really likes feeling validated and praised for the stuff he does well, which he does for himself a lot of the times too ! but sometimes i think the self assurances he compliments himself with is more for reassuring himself rather than bragging (which i think people misinterpret) so it’s more about becoming the person he wants to fully love and being happie with himself which *tears* i might be reading too much into who knows i just love him ok ... U.U 
KEBINNN - i know !!! dri mentioned this in my gifset tags but ! kev on kpop daebak (? was it) or smth mentioned how he strives to keep a childlike wonderment for the world around him, which is a reason why i think he loves drawing and sound / music production, he talked in a fancafe post once about an artist who turned mediocre everyday objects into art and he said he really loves that sense of wonderment so peter pan who “never grows up” is actually perfect for his worldview ahhhh T^T also kev really likes disney lmao, the way he’s doing this outside in this “neverland” garden on a balcony which is a part of this very typical apartment backed by a typical city bg also i believe ties into this turning a mediocre everyday thing into smth wonderful through his sense of childlike wonderment and his tagline of “make your own fantasy” (i also care him a lot this concept >>>>>>) and keeps to his referencing movie plotlines like he did in gen z jddkfj
SUNWOO - i also mentioned this in my tags on sunu’s set but this gives me 100 degrees vibes which i still to this day think is one of the most “sunwoo” vibe things ever, it’s a lot of him having fun and doing his own thing, and mixes both more mature and youthful aspects together in a way that i’d only ever describe as sunwoo vibes LMAO like the roller skating around and all the soap bubbles ! cute and youthful ! the crop top and celine wasitband (don’t laugh at me we all noticed) more mature and a callback to his gen z look methinks U.u, think sunwoo has always been a more go-with-the-flow or do whatever he feels like doing sort of person and so “make your own vibe” fits well with him in that sense to me 
SANGYEON - .... *silence* *more windows shutting down noises* *jess.exe has stopped working* OKAY i feel like ! sangyeon’s is also more self explanatory :p i love the juxtaposition of boxing AND the arcade type fighter games ?? like both require very different sets of skills i feel like one is more physical the other is more mental ? but both require adapting to changes whether in the game or the boxing ring which as leader sangyeon would know a lot about, esp being flexible and quick to respond to different situations, and the “make your own glory” i feel is maybe more on the nose, but tbz are this man’s pride and joy you can see it literally anywhere and for him, as leader, to have made it this far with tbz, winning rtk and building their popularity through their hard work and efforts really is building his own glory and i just HHHHHHHHHH
YES EYYSFDHSHF CHANHEE YES - i said it in the tags of my srb before deleting it so i’ll just repeat it here but CHOI CHANHEE !!!!! this detail i didn’t quite process first watch was the continuous flashing of lights in all his scenes, like ... from the shots and the set it looks REALLY empty ?? but the flashing seems to indicate cameras and photos being taken of him despite there being no people we can really see in any of the shots ? WHICH IS SO COOL i think the implication is like “all eyes on him” type which SO TRU i love that idea, like i said the walking past the wedding dresses ? v heavily implies fashion designer which i think you mentioned mar :o ! and i see it in the sense of his tagline “make your own stereotype” bc white wedding dresses are the very traditional / typical choice and obviously feminine in stereotypes, whereas chanhee is wearing a SUIT which is all black in a very clean b/w set with no color which i feel is very stereotypically MASCULINE and the glasses too, it’s such an interesting contrast of his “stereotypically feminine” features (in my view) with very masculine symbols, like glasses we usually associate with more soft hearted / meek stereotypes ? but the geometric shape of the windows and again his suit seems to indicate the very opposite ? it’s a mixing of stereotypes which i think is the point, by putting those together he quite literally makes his own stereotype and puts on the crown while the cameras continue flashing while pointed at him AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
YOUNGHOON - okie might have less to say about this one :o i feel like both hak’s and younghoon’s i don’t see the connections quite as readily but ! i think it’s interesting that his tagline is “make your own classic” but then in the scenes itself he has a flip phone ??? with an antenna (okay boomer /j JDHFKFG JK PLS) and a teddy bear while in PERIOD stylized clothing and setting where those two things are more modern / contemporary in origin (but also not modern enough bc ,,, it’s a flip phone LOL) like 90s kid vibes ? you know but as an emperor in the joseon era haha :p while eating shrimp chips and reading a (comic ?) book, like idk too much of what it means but it’s a cool dichotomy LOL, think it might also tie into actor ! hoon bc it’s make your own classic and i think acting has become a very important aspect to him :o after seeing what he’s capable of in love revolution and his atbz video so it’s interesting u.u (need help w/ this one)
JACOB - think my explanation in han’s set’s tags didn’t really make sense so lemme ... reexplain LOL,,, so ! similar to his gen z video ? like he’s talked about how difficult it is to open up about his own feelings etc. and he said it’s less bc he realizes he needs to but rather just to make other people feel more comfortable when it comes to understanding him, and like the whole breaking the mirror with his reflection in the wanna be angry jacob, it’s about freeing himself to the point he can express the emotions he wants to ! in gen z it was about being able to be angry when he felt that way instead of being tied by his image of being just nice ? and in the video with his pilot uniform not only does he control the ride but he also rides on it himself ! quite literally making his own freedom (symbolically), a sort of realizing he can free himself ? from what’s been tying him down and i think the really big smile he has while riding it just comes to show how he wants to feel :,))) (jacob bae i care you) 
ERIC - last one :p AHHH this is one of my favs too, the quite literal “make your own pride” I LOVE IT ! sooo i think the biggest takeaway i got was that of course in this video his “pride” is symbolized by the hot pink car (that he’s going to pick up his christmassy date in of course u.u if he has a license which he does n- his driver’s license in this was literally his aaa / boy version of reveal photo which in no dmv anywhere would a license picture be allowed to look that good-) and LITERALLY when he finished and takes it for a joy ride while sitting on the roof he’s STILL covered in the dirt and grime stains ! from working on it ! which i think is so symbolic ! it’s my favorite detail actually, he literally put sweat into this car which is his pride and now that he’s finally riding around in it, it feels accomplishing ! his pride ! love that, also when he’s grabbing a stub from that flyer i noticed he chose “youth” over the others (which was like .... ca$h, beauty, ice cream, hamburger...) which i think also just indicates that despite all this hard work he put in he still cherishes his youth and still lets that be a huge part of who he is (i mean pink car so of course) so idk i think it’s very neat go bestie mwah

demon!ash au - a synopsis
Tumblr media
w/n: a BIG thank you to @califl0wer for originally inspiring this AU, to @spicycal for letting me bounce ideas off of her, and to @irwinkitten​ for giving me live reactions 🥺but here is it, the synopsis! i’m posting this before anything else simply because i’ll be using a lot of different terms, and since i’m a sl*t for details, i like being able to use those terms consistently and i don’t want any readers getting confused by them/their importance. i’ll be putting this before anything i write in the warnings as well, but this series is going to be graphic; i love writing really intense shit like this, so i will be writing some details that may make certain readers uncomfortable. as this is a synopsis, i will keep things very general, but the beginning is already written and starts off pretty intense! 
this is a demon!ashton irwin x fem!fallen angel!reader au!
overall series rating: 18+, for intense situations, possibly future smut, strong language, graphic imagery
taglist: @spicycal @castaway-cashton​ @irwinkitten​ @n-ctarinenga​ @thesubtweeter​ @ashisonthefloor​ @ashtonsos​
The World - A General Definition of Terms & Setting
* Time setting: Summer/Fall of 2020; minus COVID-19 ever happening.
* Mortals live on the Surface. It is called this because it’s the only plane of existence where every single creature can exist; from the fae to the demons to the cryptids, they all exist on this single temporal plane together. 
* Demons are from the Underworld. This is located very close to the center of the Earth, and is covered in the various colors of fire: red, orange, blue, and white (on occasion). 
* Angels & the Fallen are from the Heavens. This is about as close to the biblical description of heaven: golden streets, singing angels, and all. It has been added that angels do get halos and wings, bc I’m a cliche hoe. 
* The Fallen are a community of rogue Angels that reside on the Surface. They made the decision to fall out of the Heavens and crash land on Earth, and their wings are maimed and shredded during their fall so they can’t fly back up, usually they are “operated” on and shortened to small nubs. You are a member of the Fallen, having decided the Angel lifestyle was too cookie cutter for you. 
* The Inbetween is the land of punishment for Angels. No one knows what it’s like, but it’s an Angel’s worst nightmare; when an Angel returns from the Inbetween, they tend to not talk about it and fall in line.
* Every demon has a mark, which indicates how they die. Wherever the mark is located is where the death injury occurred. The way they died is the only mortal memory that demons have. 
The Underworld - A Guide to Royalty & Demons
* An individual who is sentenced to the Underworld must endure a form of torture for eternity. The torture depends on their mortal lives and the sins they committed. 
* Souls can become a demon after fulfilling a majority of their torture. No one knows what “majority” means, so a soul may never become a demon or become one after 10 years. There’s different variations of demons, but for the purposes of this universe, I’ll be mostly focusing on “normal” demons, with honorable mentions of other types throughout.
* Demons only get one appearance; they do not physically age. Their hair and nails will grow like a human’s, and they can trim or cut that as they wish.
* There is one King of the Underworld; he has his High Court, which also serves as his Inner Circle. They are the people he trusts the most, and they rule the Underworld together, with the King having ultimate power. Ashton is King in this universe, and the other 5sos boys are his High Court/Inner Circle. 
* The King and his High Court are the most powerful demons in existence. They’re the only ones who have certain powers, and the King is the only one able to sense when magical/heavenly/demonic creatures are nearby. They all hold the ability to communicate telepathically, and that’s how they communicate while in crowded spaces/surrounded by open ears.
The Heavens - A Guide to Angels & Fallen
* Angels are the very same angelic beings as described in the bible, but much less terrifying; one face, one set of wings, halos that glow beautifully, the whole nine yards. Their lives are very structured, and they live by a set schedule. Deviating from that schedule earns Angels a punishment.
* Angels can travel between the Heavens and the Surface with ease. Usually they only come down for emergency reasons, but Angels are aware of what goes on on the Surface.
* Fallen are able to hide their nubby wings easily; most of them opt to disguise them as scars, but they cannot completely remove their wings; it’s their punishment for leaving their Angel lifestyle, to live with the pain. Usually Fallen are not in pain when their wings are disguised. Removing the wings entirely can and will result in death, and no one knows what happens when a Fallen dies. 
* Fallen are able to change their appearance in minor ways on the Surface. Maybe a cuter nose, a different hair color, or putting tattoos on their skin. Major changes (like a sex change, body shape) will take a bit of help from other Fallen, who can lend some of their power for that. They do not physically age.
* All Fallen dispose of their halos usually. They’re not needed anymore, although some opt to keep them as a decoration for their homes. 
* You live in a community of Fallen that have bought out an apartment complex. You do not have to pay rent, but you get a job anyway so you can afford to live among mortals a bit easier. 
w/n 2.0: hopefully this helps paint the image of this world in your head! if y’all have any questions, ideas, hate mail, pls send it to my inbox! “in the beginning” is coming soon! have a lovely Sunday 😊❤️

Tumblr media
You loved the city.
You loved the traffic and the sound of cars honking, the occasional couple arguing, the screech of tires and never ending hustle. You loved the constant rain and the way it ruined your hair every morning at 8:07AM when you’d leave your apartment to get your double espresso before you stepped into the office just to be greeted with missing persons case after missing persons case. These were all things you told yourself, every day, every morning, and every night.
On cue, the pager on your hip beeps wildly. An involuntary groan comes from your throat while you try to preview the message and head into the building.
“Scotch, I need to talk to you about the Snake Hole Case-“
Your eyes look up to address the older gentleman in front of you who reeks of too much cologne and cheap cigars; he’s just a detective and he’s never been very confident in your abilities even though you’ve been the lead profiler in your division for the last two years and you have 36 solved cases under your belt.
Regardless, you give him your distracted attention as you both stride hurriedly down the hall leading to the conference room you should’ve been in ten minutes ago. The office is bustling and there’s a fax machine ringing in the distance but your rushed heeled steps are louder even on carpet.
“This better be worth my time, Hayes, I’m late for a meeting as is and I have a phone call with Seattle’s Chamber in fourteen minutes in counting.”
The shorter man quickens his step in attempt to catch up to you. “Snake Hole, the original killer was-“
You cut off his excitement with your bluntness as usual, “Gene Schwartzman, white male, 43-years-old, small town stores clerk, no children, never married, alcoholic, absolute low life...”
Hayes snorts, “Right, but he had a pattern, an obsession with younger women with a specific and detailed description, mirroring his own mother, and that’s why he would retaliate-“
Your heels come to a halt as you step in front of the older detective. His lips are chapped, his bottom teeth have ridges from obsessive grinding, the normally groomed hair is parted in every which way, there’s an ink stain on his dress shirt’s pocket. It’s not like him to be so out of sorts. He was obnoxious, sure, but not messy.
“That case was closed a year ago. What are you trying to tell me, Hayes?”
Nervously, his tongue darts out to lick his lips before he speaks. His voice remains low so only the two of you can hear.
“I think... I think we’re seeing an admirer of Schwartzmen mirroring his case. He never got to finish his pattern-“
“We were able to catch him before the final murder. We solved his puzzle first-“
“Someone in Indiana is trying to finish the job, Scotch. I think you need to see this.”
He holds your gaze for a moment as you’re replaying the details of the Snake Hole case in your memory. His hand grips the manilla folder that he extends out to you.
There’s suddenly an impatient call for you to go into the room just down the hall to join that meeting. You’re already twelve minutes late now and before you can respond, there’s another louder call of your name.
You take the folder from the detective and return his low volume, “Get one of the assistants to cancel the phone meeting I have with the Chamber, you and I need to talk. I want to know what’s going on in Indiana. Get me in contact with the local PD, as soon as possible.”
                           · · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·
Everyone could tell you were distracted the whole meeting. Every second you weren’t looking at the file tucked under your half-assed notes was a second wasted. Your behavior was fidgety and as you clicked at your pen the whole half an hour, you couldn’t stop thinking about the secret admirer Schwartzmen has in Indiana of all places. The original murders took place a year ago in Alabama, made nationwide headlines for weeks and there was even a public memorial for the victims and their families. Schwartzmen confessed on tape and immediately thrown in prison to rot. Everything felt so final. What was the connection to Indiana? You finally got to read over the file on your lunch break with your third coffee before 1PM. Red nails drumming on the wood of your desk, frustrated. There’s a Missing poster of a younger girl, she’s sixteen, decorated with freckles across her face. Round cheeks, even rounder glasses, red hair and seemingly innocent. You hated that the bitter but smart detective Dennis Hayes of all people was going to be right. Unfortunately, Miss Barbara Holland of Hawkins, Indiana fit the description too well. She might even be closest in resemblance to Schwartzmen’s actual mother and it made the acid from your stomach rise up to the back of your tongue.
A knock at your door finally makes your eyes look away from the young girl’s school photo.
“Scotch?”
It’s Hayes and he’s holding two styrofoam cups, hopefully full of caffeine.
“Come in, please, sit.” You wave a manicured hand towards the chair in front of your desk and he takes a seat as he carefully places one of the cups next to your current (and nearly empty) mug.
“I’ll make this short,” Hayes begins. “I know your hands are full with other cases where they’re asking you to profile who kidnapped a dog from a park and robbed a granny at the mom and pop shop at noon-“
You roll your eyes at his brief condescending comment towards your line of work as if he could make his arrests without your insight.
“But you gotta admit, Scotch... the resemblance here is uncanny.”
And it was. Uncomfortably so. She was nearly a spitting image of Schwartzmen’s mother, down to the same yearbook photo we plastered on the screens of every television in America mirrored this young Barbara Holland’s. Schwartzmen was an orphan until the age of 12, he had grown up in his adolescence without a mother and resented the nameless redhead who left him at a church’s doorstep to be found. Angry and feeling abandoned, he grieved the loss of what he never had by murdering young women who resembled the only photo he had of his biological mother: her yearbook photo. The same yearbook photo you cleared with the media to be broadcast to America during the investigation a year ago.
A part of you feels responsible for a split second and there’s a tinge of guilt in your stomach thinking you put her at risk when you let the media have the photo of Schwartzmen’s mother, the very inspiration for all his heinous murders. Did someone see this young girl in Indiana and think she was an opportunity that couldn’t be missed? Was sixteen year old Barbara Holland just an innocent and unfortunate puzzle piece? You’re both staring at the file with some local news from Hawkins along with some notes from the Snake Hole case. It was more frustrating how little Hawkins had on Barbara’s disappearance. It was as simple as one minute was there, the next minute, she wasn’t. Good girl, good grades, good friends, what happened?
You break the thick and focused silence first.
“Did you get me the number for the state police?”
“Indiana State Police don’t have much on it, it’s mainly the Hawkins PD that seems to have more information. It’s a small town. They had two missing kids in the same month-“
Your brow furrowed together, “Two?”
Hayes leans back further in the chair, arms crossed over his chest nonchalantly.
“Young boy, no older than twelve, he turned up alive after some searches, seems unrelated to this case. There’s still no body found for the sixteen year old, goes by Barb. I think we need to get involved.”
This almost makes a snort leave your body.
“We? Hayes, no, I’m going alone.” He opens his mouth to protest but you continue with your voice stern, “I know the Schwartzmen case, I worked on it first hand, I’m going to Indiana. This is just another disorganized killer and the fact it’s only one girl missing gives me some hope. Some sad sack in the Midwest trying to get a shot of fame by comparing himself to Schwartzmen, recreating the profile, maybe make the public wonder if he’s still locked up, whatever. She’s a missing girl, but it doesn’t mean she’s dead. If this is mirroring Schwartzmen and the Hawkins PD hasn’t caught up to that, it’s my responsibility to involve myself to help them be a step ahead.”
Detective Hayes stands up from the chair then with a proud smirk on his face.
“You’re welcome, you know. You can say it.”
You scrunch your nose at him then.
“I could, but I don’t feel like it.”
Hayes chuckles as he turns on his heel to leave your office. “Well, enjoy Indiana, Scotch.”
You grunt in response behind the coffee cup, your lipstick leaving a print on the white foam.
As you’re about to hear the click of your office door closing signaling his exit, Hayes peeps his head back in. “Oh, you’ll have fun talking to that chief of police, by the way. Goes by Hopper, or somethin’ like that. Hung up on me twice and told me to go fuck myself on the third attempt. Seems like a hard ass, so. Maybe flirt a little, show a little leg when you touch down in Hawkins.”
His wink and sneering grin made you sick. Just when you thought this detective was useful. You draw in a patient sigh before looking back at him.
“Detective?” Your hands folded under your chin to appear sweeter.
Hayes steps more into the doorway to listen, he’s already eyed your crossed legs and heeled shoes. Pervert.
“The only time I’m going to show a little leg is before I kick your ass.”
The smile dropped from his face and it was followed by the slight slam of your office door. You smirk to yourself and prepare the arrangements to fly to Indiana to meet with Hawkins PD and hopefully bring Barbara Holland home.

what are your favorite twilight zone episodes :0
oh hii ok i haven't finished watching it yet but these are my favorite so far (in no particular order (for the most part))! it's gonna be pretty long so i'll continue under the cut 😳
1. and when the sky was opened (s1e11)
truly my favorite twilight zone episode of all time! the plot and characters are very well written (it's based on the short story "disappearing act" by richard matheson) and also the acting is really good too like the emotions are so vibrant and effective and real just wowzers. there's this one part where the look on the guy's face is just so haunting and idk it really sticks with me. also the actors 👀👀👀 i think everyone in the 50s/60s was just really attractive but yeah. also it's #relatable but in a sad way 😔 and it makes me cry so overall 5386464/10 very good highly recommend!
2. mirror image (s1e21)
Tumblr media
SUCH a great episode. the directing, the attention to detail, the atmosphere just mkaes it so interesting and thrilling to watch. it made me audibly gasp so much bc it's frightening. also the ending is just. wow. wow. great episode.
3. the after hours (s1e34)
Tumblr media
omg hi good cool episode !!!!!! right? wrong!!!!!! the directing in this episode makes it ABSOLUTELY FUCKING TERRIFYING to watch!!!!!!!!!! as if mannequins aren't scary enough on their own. i love the vibe of department stores in the 50s (i really wanna live during that time period!) and the atmosphere that's created is bonechilling and eerie. very very good episode bc it feels like a fever dream and as you will see most of the episodes on this list are ones where it feels like you're losing your mind and i love that. it also does a good job of like putting the audience in the shoes of the main character.
4. perchance to dream (s1e9)
Tumblr media
another terrifying episode? more likely than you think. this episode is a WILD RIDE (haha pun) and is the definition of a fever dream. the directing is so so so good and perfectly captures what a nightmare can feel like and it's exhilarating to watch bc it is also extremely terrifying. i once watched it to try to scare myself to sleep so i could have a nightmare just to feel something (it didn't work😔). OH YEAH ALSO THE TWIST AT THE END it spins your head i honestly didn't even see it coming WOW
5. twenty two (s2e17)
Tumblr media
another fever dream episode!!!!!!!! so cool the directing is wow and the setting is even more wow and theres so much tension in it and the ending i wasnt expecting it at all! very solid episode perfectly crafted
6. walking distance (s1e5)
this episode made me sob so hard! it's about like growing up and revisiting your childhood and it's so tender and sad but there's a good lesson ig idc. it's #powerful and i thoroughly enjoy it but it's also painful to watch bc it is TOO RELATABLE
7. where is everybody? (s1e1)
Tumblr media
genuinely the best pilot episode for any series that i've ever seen. it's so memorable and right off the bat makes the audience feel like they're going insane bc they don't know what the fuck is going on. this episode sets a VERY good precedent for what the rest of the show is gonna look/be like. very good one ! oh yes plot the plot was good and so was the directing but a little anticlimactic i think but whatevs.
8. two (s3e1)
Tumblr media
this episode is so <3333333333333333 i think it's a good first episode for s3 bc honestly it gets worse ngl. it seems kinda pointless but the ending is nice and honestly it's pretty much everything i wanna see on a screen like a woman with a gun in an army uniform? are you serious?? sign me up pls 🤲🏽🤲🏽🤲🏽
9. nick of time (s2e7)
stereotypical predicting the future type episode but i really like it bc of the vibe. you know it's the 60s where there's diners and jukeboxes and milkshakes! i mean yes we have those things today but it just hits different in this episode just the vibe is chef kiss very very neat and nice and also the couple in it is really attractive. oh yeah i still like the plot tho and like what it means from a human pov like do you let a machine control your life or do you make those decisions by yourself and agree to face the conseqeunces? very neat i think ! it reminds me of the summertime that's the vibe of it i really wanna live during that time period.
10. the purple testament (s1e19)
Tumblr media
literally everyone in this episode is SO HOT 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵 god. the plot is good too but it's pretty predictable but the concept is really cool and well written and ofc the ending is also predictable but whatever !
11. a hundred yards over the rim (s2e23)
very cool episode i love the whole cowboy / western vibe i know 🤚🏽 those were dangerous and not optimal times ok but seriously the drip and the whole saloons and small town stuff? can we bring that back pls and thank you xoxo but yeah this episode is cool and it has a very empty feel to it and it makes you feel like a stranger i do like it a lot
12. showdown with rance mcgrew (s3e20)
Tumblr media
oh i really like this one !! it's one of the only episodes i think that's like comedic on purpose. like the main character (the one in the cowboy hat) is so stupid and the way his character is written is mwah im blowing a kiss to the sky for him as we speak. the plot is alright it's like the redundant time travel so whatevs but i like this one bc it's funny:) i think after s1 the show went downhill bc u can see that they were running out of ideas so yeah. season 1 really had no reason to go that hard but it did!!
13. to serve man (s3e24)
Tumblr media
oh yes this episode is short and sweet and gets straight to the point which i really appreciate<3 just the vibe of it is very very good and there's nothing like a great twist to top it all off! solid episode 10/10 also the girl in it is really pretty
14. the night of the meek (s2e11)
this! one!! it is SO sweet and actually has a good ending and it made me cry and it's so pure and happy and nice and christmas and i love christmas and i love this episode
15. judgement night (s1e10)
Tumblr media
i love the trope of "one person realizes something is very very wrong in their world and they try to explain it to others but no one believes them making the main character feel like they're going crazy!" i would say this episode is haunting i don't remember like the specifics but i just remember watching it for the first time and just being like speechless and sad. the plot is very nice too and like the thought of eternal terror makes me very uncomfortable which was probs this episodes goal so good job !
essay over xoxo if u made it this far hi here's a hug<3

talk to you
You and Xiao Gui are best friends, and you have a pretty big crush on his fellow groupmate and senior, Xingjie.
Tumblr media
so you and xiao gui were bffs
the biggest class clowns ever omg
u know when a teacher sits two kids together and instantly regrets it
yeah that’s yall lmao
you talk constantly
and so the teacher moves xiao gui
and then one day she looks up and xiao gui is fucking hOLDING UP SIGNS FOR U TO READ N SHIT
(so she moves him back bc its more distracting to have him doing that shit lolol)
anyways yeah so we’ve established that you two are good friends
so ofc ur v supportive of him and his creativity
like u have the creativity of a teaspoon 
but xiao gui is hella talented !!!
so u stay hyping him up
and obviously u go to his showcases n stuff
and you do your best to focus on xiao gui
but one of his friends, zhu xingjie, is literally the hottest guy you’ve ever seen
he has the cutest undercut and can sing AND rap AND dance 
like damn boy what can’t you do
but since he’s older than you, you kind of view it as a lost cause
plus,,, ur too shy to talk to him !!!!
xiao gui introduces you to the other guys that he’s formed a ‘group’ with
of course, you blush a ton when you’re introduced to xingjie, who looks almost cold when he meets you??
zhou yanchen is an absolute angel, smiling widely as he greets you
zhang yankai snickers when he meets you, and you’re not really sure why but you brush it off
you think you’re slick abt ur newfound crush, but xiao gui instantly notices that you’re staring at xingjie for a little longer than usual...
“you totally like him,” xiao gui nearly screams, jumping up and down
you feel your cheeks turn bright red as his entire group turns to face you
the next day during class, xiao gui brings it up again
“you know, xingjie ge is single,” he said (not very casually, because when is xiao gui ever casual)
“i’m not gonna do anything,” you mumbled, focusing on the math work in front of you
“ey, that attitude isn’t gonna get you a date with xingjie,” xiao gui groaned, leaning on his side dramatically
you rolled your eyes at your best friend, leaning over to flick his forehead
“let’s just do our work.”
one night, after one of xiao gui’s showcases, he tells you that there’s gonna be an afterparty at one of the boys’ houses
and at first you really don’t want to go, but xiao gui insists that he can find a quiet room for you to study in
so after the afterparty starts, yankai shows you one of the bedrooms upstairs
it’s really neat, but you’re surprised to see a little shelf with what looked like magic trick supplies?
“have fun,” yankai said mysteriously as he closed the door, snickering again
(apparently yankai snickers a lot????)
so you’re in the bedroom doing homework when the door opens
you jump, startled, and almost scream when you see xingjie, a little red-faced and sweaty
as soon as the rapper sees you sprawled out on the bed, books spread out in front of you, his eyes widen
and you think he gets a little redder but you couldn’t really tell for sure
“o-oh, (y/n),” he said awkwardly, shifting his weight
then you realize what had probably happen and scramble to your feet, feeling your own cheeks heat up
“oh my god, is this your room?” you begin gathering your books, “i’m so, so sorry, oh my god!”
“no wait,” xingjie rushed forward, “it’s fine, you can stay here, really.” he offered you a shy smile, “i don’t mind, i just needed to grab a different shirt, your idiot of a best friend spilled three shots of vodka on this one.”
you wrinkled your nose, “i can smell it from here.”
xingjie smiled at that, shaking his head as he walked over to his closet, selecting a new shirt
(his ears were also pink?)
you couldn’t concentrate at all as you opened your textbook back up, reading over the same line at least ten times
“sorry if we’re kinda loud”
you looked up quickly, blushing again as you made eye contact with xingjie
“oh, it’s not a big deal!” you waved your hands around awkwardly, “i’m ok!”
“well, uh, it was nice seeing you?” xingjie wavered tentatively at the door, smiling over at you awkwardly
you felt yourself cringing at just how awkward the whole situation was
then suddenly, the door slammed shut, and you heard the distinct sound of yankai’s snickering
“have fun!” xiao gui’s incredibly obnoxious voice said loudly, making you get to your feet as his stupid plan dawned on you
you scrambled to your feet and pounded on xingjie’s door, wiggling the doorknob to check if it was locked
“xiao gui!” you shouted loudly, pounding on the door, “if you don’t open this door this instant, i’ll post that picture of you drooling in a suit!”
xiao gui made a noise of anguish
“i’ll let my image be ruined if it’s for your own good,” he yelled back, “but please don’t post it?”
“i’ll tag you in it, fucker!”
“you’re actually doing it?” xingjie asked in amusement as he watched you pull your phone out from your pocket, tapping away angrily
xiao gui shrieked as you put it away again triumphantly
“i’m never unlocking this door now, (y/n)!” xiao gui shouted followed by the sound of footsteps retreating
xingjie sighed, taking a seat at the chair by his desk
“well, i guess we’re stuck in here,” he shrugged, “sorry that you got dragged into this mess.”
“yeah,” you laughed awkwardly, “well, i guess i should get back to studying.”
“oh, what subject?” xingjie raised an eyebrow, peering down at your textbook
you almost squealed at how cute he looked
“maths,” you sighed, picking your pencil back up
“ah, well, good luck,” xingjie grinned at you, “if you need help, let me know!”
you thanked him and then turned back to your work, carefully working through the equations that the teacher had assigned
about halfway through the equations, you glanced up momentarily and nearly screamed???
because xingjie was standing in front of his closet
shirtless
looking for a shirt
shirtless
in front of you
shirtless
“oh, shit,” xingjie turned around, eyes wide as his cheeks turned pink, “fuck, sorry, i totally thought you had fallen asleep.”
the older boy grabbed the first shirt he saw and tugged it on over his head
“no, i’m sorry,” you were blushing so much????
“i just had a quick question, i was wondering if you could help?” you asked a bit awkwardly
“oh yeah, of course,” xingjie pulled the chair over next to his bed, peering over at your work
and you could barely focus the entire time that he was working because wow xingjie concentrating was seriously adorable????
just as xingjie was explaining how he found the derivative, your phone buzzed with a notification, and the screen lit up
xingjie was closer to your phone than you were, so naturally, he glanced down
and as soon as he read the text, his back straightened as he looked straight at you, eyes wide
blood cold, you read the notification
from: xiao gui
SO HAVE YOU TOLD HIM YOU LIKE HIM YET?????
PLS??????
f u c k
“you like me?”
you looked up, embarrassed as you glanced at xingjie
“um,” you said intelligently, “yeah?”
xingjie broke out into a smile, the blush returning to his cheeks
“would you, um,” xingjie’s voice trailed off as he scratched the back of his neck, “would you be interested in maybe going on a date with me?”
were you dying????
was this heaven?????
“to be honest, i’ve liked you for a while, i just didn’t know how to approach you,” xingjie laughed awkwardly, raising his eyebrows expectantly
you shook your head, still in shock, “oh my god, yes, of course,” you felt your cheeks heating up, “sorry, i’m just... processing.”
xingjie grinned at that, digging his phone out of his pocket
“here, punch in your number so that i can text you and we can figure out the details,” xingjie handed you his phone
as you entered his number, a thought occurred to you that made you laugh
“i guess xiao gui isn’t completely useless after all.”
“hey! i heard that!”

when u thought you were gonna be hella later than this but you got off work three hours early here comes your highness ---- the trash queen. aloha, for those of you who don’t know me, i’m rach/rachel, a resident of the gmt+1 timezone who’s twenty n goes by she/her pronouns !! straight up, this intro is gonna be a copy-paste of the og one i used because.. nothing changed. i mean, lowkey teegs is now engaged to neil ( lmfao ) bc #arranged marriage lyf ---- but everything else is the same. below the cut you can read all about this piece of literal trash and also my second character aka a literal anGel !! 
VICTORIA JUSTICE ˙ 。♦ ⋅ ⋆ — here comes TEEGAN HELLRIDGE. did you hear that they are TWENTY-ONE, & a CISFEMALE SHADOWHUNTER. people tend to call HER OBSTINATE & IMPULSIVE. however, i say they are AUDACIOUS & DAUNTLESS. rumor has it, they are FOR the war
TW: MENTION OF ABUSE.
little teegan hellridge was practically raised on hearing stories about her magnificent father, alexander hellridge— the shadowhunter was a great and powerful man, a man who had a name to honor from centuries before him and who planned on keeping it that way.
alexander dedicated his life to being the best he could, constantly training, constantly working and wanting to do all that he could for the shadowhunting world. he threw himself into mission after mission and while he may never had made it as a head of the institute— he was certainty still an important figure.
teegan could never get enough of his stories, her father was her hero, she would beg for him to tell her stories of his missions— no matter how many times she’d heard some of the stories beforehand.
growing up, teegan knew that she too would have to continue to honor the hellridge name, something that coming after as great of a man as her father; made her feel insecure or concerned that she may not be the best that he was, that she wouldn’t live to be as legendary and heroic as alexander.
from the minute she could walk, alexander was eager to train his daughter— believing that starting early would be the key to her success, and it only helped that teegan showed great interest and determination.
despite the fact that teegan often was top of her class, it seemed that this was never enough for alexander— while his daughter would try to celebrate her success he would put her down, telling her not to get too ahead of herself and that she still needed to perfect her skills,  that what she had done wasn’t good enough yet.
alexander pushed his daughter to every limit possible, and the older she got, the more teegan began to convince herself that it was a case of ‘tough love’. sometimes he would smile at her like he did when she was a child, when he would tell her those stories that she oh so loved to hear— but as for the rest of the time, he was stoic. he wasn’t her father, he was her commander and she was his personal solider.
alexander’s wife had stuck by him throughout it all, despite the fact she may not have agreed with his ways of training, she couldn’t voice her opinion without teegan jumping down her throat that he was trying to train her to perfection, that it’s what she wanted.
albeit, victoria hellridge cracked— one day the once loving wife and mother threw in the towel, offering alexander an ultimatum and threatening to take her daughter away from him.
what made her suddenly crack was alexander’s obsession been taken to a level no one would’ve expected— he was consumed by the idea of creating a perfect little solider, of having HIS daughter’s name go down in history.
between his daughter being blinded by her admiration for him, and how easily he could manipulate her by whispers of how powerful he was going to make her; it was only natural that upon her father suggesting experimenting on his own daughter, she agreed.
victoria, however was not going to stand for this— calling her husband all names under the sun and making out that he was psychotic, twisted, a disgusting man; something he then only proved to be right when she threatened to take teegan from him. he wasn’t about to let his pride and joy be taken by anyone, not even his wife.
with being such a well-known, loved man, alexander easily wound himself into getting his wife de-runed; and furthermore, getting her out of the picture. though, as far as teegan knows, her mother left them both; her father twisting the image into her mind that victoria was a selfish woman, that she didn’t want teegan to suceed; which only further fueled her desire to be that perfection her father pictured her as.
this is getting excessively long so to cut to the chase; alexander lowkey very much experimented on teegan— literally he’s kinda very much the worst dad in the world but she’s entirely blinded by this because she loves and admires him so much and fr someone needs to smack her bitch ass and tell her to wake the fuck up because everything about her relationship with her father is wrong wrong WRonG.
oh !! i should say that the only reason teegan is FOR the war is because daddy-o was whispering in her ear about it and has convinced her that it’s for the best because he ain’t a fan of them downworlders soOoo.
and of course teegan gonna do and follow what he says sooOo.
okay so little added bonus !! ya gurl has angel blood. thOUGh. she’s totally unaware of this factor as it’s from her mamma and her mamma never told her or her pops about it. her fathers experimentation have all been seen as failures by him considering they never had any impact or outcome on teegan, though he’s unaware the entire time that she already has what he desires her to have.
basically, as i’ve probably repetitively said throughout the many bullet points above; she’s daddy’s little solider-— teegan will do literally ANYTHING he asks of her, he could ask her to cut off her own arm and tell her it would benefit her and make her a better shadowhunter and she’d fucking do it like? it’s pretty extreme. she’s very much a down-to-business kind of person, likes to get shit done. can 100% be found training all the fucking time like.. even if she’s injured she’s gonna train. can be fairly snarky and just.. comes off generally not nice because she’s not here to make friends rly she’s here to be the best lmfao. iDk mAn. she’s a mess i’m a mess who isn’t a mess.
as for plots.. ya’ll i’m a big plot slut please give me eVerYTHINg. like, especially someone who might’ve accidentally found out about her dad’s exterminations on her? because he would’ve obviously kept that hella lowkey so pls? give me this plot? we can discuss if teegan knows this muse knows about it or their reactions etc. IDK MAN I WANT IT ALL.
Tumblr media
{ TROIAN BELLISARIO } ˙ 。♦ ⋅ ⋆ — here comes (OCTAVIA NIX). did you hear that they are (APPEARING TWENTY-FOUR/TWENTY-NINE), & a (CISFEMALE) (WARLOCK). people tend to call (HER) (MANIPULABLE) & (FEARFUL) however, i say they are (INTELLIGENT) & (COMPASSIONATE). rumor has it, they are (AGAINST) the war.

so first off, octavia is a fairly 'new' warlock i guess one could say? considering most are hundreds, centuries of years old she is only five years older than the year she stopped visually ageing at.
she's still very much coming to terms with her magic, learning new things on daily basis. it's only something of recent she's been trying her hand at, as for years she refused to acknowledge her power.
octavia was the offspring of an american-italian by the name of juliana, while her 'father' was that of a demon shape-shifted to the appearance of juliana's husband, alberto.
she was deemed a 'normal' child for many years, despite the fact on rare occasions alberto swore he saw her eyes light a vibrant shade of lilac.
skipping forward, basically alberto started to study closer into the eye-changing? and therefore wound up spending hours upon hours researching ---- the deeper he got into the idea of it being a supernatural cause the more repulsed and horrified he felt. coming from such a christian background he felt disgusted to think he had been taking his demonic, devil-child to church each sunday.  
it was then he began to form the perfect plan, he could make it look like an accident ---- juliana would never know, it could be written off as a suicide.
however, his plan went to ruins when his wife landed home in the midst of alberto with both hands against octavia's shoulders, attempting to drown her in their family bathtub.
i just realized both my girls have #daddy issues daMn.
anywho, basically juliana saved octavia and tried to search out help ?? considering she was entirely unaware of octavia's 'gift'.
which octavia wound up living with a friend of her mothers for a time whom was also a warlock; the older female promising to teach octavia how to use her powers wisely.
however, being scarred from the doings of her father, she refused her help.  
wanting to try her hand at leading a normal life, octavia moved to manhattan ---- finding herself a comfortable one bedroom apartment and for a period of time, she even had a job. which, she somewhat still has. after taking a job in a florists it was something she found a deep adoration for; finding the trade itself rather relaxing. making use of the extensive balcony her apartment was supplied with, octavia began to grow her own flowers and creating her own bouquets at home ---- opening her own small business were she worked from home.
this is trash but i swear i'm going to write up proper, detailed bios for my children in the future i sWear. but basically, octavia has only began to just drabble into magic and her abilities? it's something she's still very reluctant about and until this point has been trying to live life as a mundane. lowkey wakes up sweating and screaming sometimes because she has night terrors of her attempted murder lmAo. is a hella pushover? the reason she probably got into magic was because someone asked her to do a thing so she had to learn how to do it for them. honestly, you could manipulate her to do anYthing for you. emotionally just.. s m o l? her outfit aesthetic is basically spencer hastings like ?? not sorry. lowkey grew up wearing a little gold cross around her neck that she still wears but it's often hidden under the collar of her shirts lmaO. probs is always drinking herbal teas, feeds stray cats 10/10, apartment is covered in flowers and millions upon millions of books. i hope that ?? kinda covers the basis of my smol child but please !! plot with her ?? pls. lowkey feel like when the day met the night --- p!atd describes her in terms of she's the moon tbh ??
IDK GUYS PLS JUST GIMMIE ALL THE DAMN PLOTS.
