ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ HELP. jacob black
jacob black x gn!reader
sad and emotional ! suicide ! self harm ! pain ! jealousy !
you were always quiet, never asked for help.
it was almost ironic, really.
standing at the edge of the cliff, dressed in your nicest dress with your nails painted and makeup done. no doubt they'd take it all off when you were found - if you were found.
you couldn't help it, the ache in your chest easing slightly as you rubbed the silk of your dress between your fingers.
you had tried, of course you did, therapists and counselors, nothing ever helped the pain that sat in the back of your head. going to school on the reserve was okay, you had a few friends, but never did you think you'd be pushed to this point.
you felt it before he did, you think, the way you held your eyes against his and felt a tug in your chest, as though your centre of gravity changed. he'd gone through his changes, spending less time with you after getting sick and cutting his hair.
jacob black was one of your closest friends, and you'd loved him for years. you had no problem admitting it, you were sure he already knew, which is why he'd spent so much time away from you recently.
rubbing your hand over your arms, trying to protect yourself from the cold, all you felt was the goosebumps that littered between the scars travelling up your arm. they were red, irritated and scabbed over, fresh but now brand new.
you couldn't help it. after jake had come back from his week off school, and your eyes had pierced his own, he stopped speaking to you all together. every day felt like pain, as though your intestines were being torn out of your body and you couldn't stop it.
with your stomach open and your bodily functions failing, the only thing that distracted you was the constant burn of your blood running down your arms.
you were sure he knew, you'd sent him a text before you left and let him know what you were doing.
you were sick, in many ways. the cough rattling in your throat, your chest constricting with every breath, your lips dry and cracked. no doctors appointment or medication could fix this.
hearing a sudden chime from your phone, it had been the only one to distract your focus. quickly pulling yourself away from the edge of the cliff, you picked up your phone from the pile of your belongings.
as soon as you had, you dropped it, your body collapsing to the ground and a scream cutting through your throat. it was as though your energy left your body, as though you were helpless and stuck on the ground for someone to find and kill; like prey.
you pulled yourself towards the edge of the cliff, nails aching with the dirt, grime and sticks poking and prodding them. your pretty dress covered in mud and dirt, torn by rocks and scratches over your legs. you hadn't worn shoes, maybe you should have.
you didn't think about that, not as you pulled yourself over the edge, pummeling towards the water crashing against the rocks at the bottom of the cliff. you didn't think about the howls you heard, the wind rushing through your ears or the heartbeat that sounded in your chest.
all you thought about was the text you'd received, it had come from his phone but not from jake.
'he's with bella.'

This is the development blog for the interactive fiction called "The Second Sight", which you can find on itch.io at the link above!
This is my first IF project, although I've been writing original stories and fanfiction for years.
I've included the story description and character profiles from the itch page below the cut.
This blog will be a combination of development info, images and music that I associate with the story, and other musings.
Fair warning, there might be spoilers from the latest chapters here, so I recommend catching up before reading too far.
Asks and submissions are always open.
You’re an urban legend in a county full of them. When you were thirteen, you were found passed out in the road by one of the local cops. No missing persons report. No fingerprints on file. No memories. Just a name.
Oh, and some bizarre psychic powers.
You're content with simplicity. You like your isolated cabin and helping Carter track down missing persons. You know that in theory there are more people like you out there, but you've never wanted to look behind the curtain to find out.
However, with the disappearance of a local teen named Casey Powell and a recent attempt on your foster father's life, your serene, isolated life comes abruptly to its end and a new chapter begins.
✤✤✤
The Second Sight is an urban fantasy story, where you step into the role of a psychic whose strange powers have always separated them from others. Those same powers will drag you down the rabbit hole and into a world that is both the familiar and foreign to everything you know. A world filled with magic, witches, fae, demons, and the unknown.
You can immerse yourself in the story by customizing your protagonist's general appearance, choosing how they interact with others, and whether you lean on logic or intuition to problem solve. There are three love interests planned (more may be added depending on player reception and feedback), the genders of which will be selected by the player upon meeting them.
Characters
Jacob Carter
Age: Late forties
Race: Human. Definitely.
Gender: Male
Temperament: Carter radiates grizzled, old bastard energy and despite being the least paternal person in the world, he is your adoptive father. While harsh and aloof on the surface, he is also fiercely protective of you and has bent over backwards to give a decent life to a kid that isn't even his. He doesn't talk about his life before coming to Herman County and you haven't asked him, though that might change soon enough...
✤✤✤
Zander/Zora
Age: Late twenties.
Race: Human.
Appearance: Umber brown skin, black locs, grey eyes
Temperament: Gentle and resolute, Z isn't what you imagine when you think of an agent of the mysterious Magic and Anomalies Bureau. Kind, soft-spoken, and exceedingly polite, Z is Carter's former apprentice and something about them puts the old man on edge.
✤✤✤
Renard/Rowan
Age: Appears to be in their late twenties or early thirties
Race: Human. Maybe.
Appearance: Tall and slender, white-blonde hair, and gold eyes.
Temperament: Playful and flirtatious, talking to R always feels like a game of cat and mouse and you can never be sure which role is yours. Part sad clown, part trickster, and always maddening to work with, the only things you can be certain of with R is that they probably know what they're doing. Everything else is up in the air.
✤✤✤
Unknown aka "The Kestrel"
Age: ???
Race: Definitely not human.
Appearance: Tall, beautiful, elegant, with black hair and black eyes.
Temperament: The Kestrel is a complete unknown. It's impossible to say whether they are a lethal ally or deadly enemy, but either way they are a powerful dreamwalker. You don't know how long they've been watching you, but you're willing to bet that it's been longer than you're comfortable with.

Who among the Quarry counselors has had an emo phase?
This got lost somehow and I couldn't find it until I got on the desktop site and it was like HEY THERE'S AN ASK IN YOUR INBOX, I'm so sorry Torch! But thank you for the ask!
Obviously Ryan. Look at him. He's still in it. He's wearing a long-sleeved shirt with a short-sleeved band shirt over it! He's got the eyeliner and everything! 😆 If they had kept this concept art design with the black converse high tops with the contrasting red laces, we wouldn't even need to have this conversation because it would be so obvious!
That right there is an emo boy. I actually have no idea what emo kids 10ish years younger than me were listening to, but based on my own experiences I'd put Ryan musically in the spot where emo, screamo, and post-hardcore intersect, so he probably liked stuff like Scary Kids Scaring Kids, The Used, Thursday, AFI, and some of the moodier Brand New albums (before they got canceled).
Miles says emo is not a phase and he is and will forever be emo (same), and while Dylan is not exactly or entirely Miles, I think he would agree. Not sure he would have adopted the outward style though, I think he was super nerdy when he was younger and wouldn't have wanted to draw attention to himself. But based on the handful of songs we get that Dylan is supposed to have chosen for the party, he probably listened to the more melodic and poppy (but still angst-riddled) side of emo, like Dashboard Confessional, Jimmy Eat World, Bright Eyes, early Weezer, and Saves The Day (before they got canceled).
And, look, Abi's the other obvious choice, right? She's got that Hot Topic aesthetic. But wouldn't it be funny if the other former emo kid was actually Emma? I HC her as into pop and top 40 rock and broadway tunes now, but Imagine middle or early high school Emma listening to early Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance and having split cherry red and black hair in kind of a scene shag cut and heavily lined eyes. I can kinda see it. she probably liked 30 Seconds to Mars too (before, say it with me now, they got soft-canceled--why are men in this scene and music industry as a whole so terrible??)
Finally, Jacob might be having his first ever emo phase right now. Remember when "Untitled (How Could This Happen to Me)" by Simple Plan became a meme? I feel like that's just Jacob during the game and post-canon. He's a sad boy. He could have a small emo phase, as a treat. It might be good for him.
Hang in there, big guy. 🖤🖤🖤
#the quarry#hacketteer headcanons#ryan erzahler#Ryan Erzahler is emo#dylan lenivy#Dylan Lenivy is emo#abi blyg#emma mountebank#Emma mountebank was secretly emo#Jacob Custos#unsure if Jacob Custos is emo or just sad#bunny blathers#bunny is emo for life 🖤#beautiful asks from beautiful people

Her Over Me
Jacob Black x Reader
Summary:Jacob choose Bella over the Reader
*Sorry if something is spelled wrong this is my first fanfic*
I couldn’t believe it. Jacob had chosen Bella over me. How could he do this to me? The pain in my chest was unbearable, and anger flowed through my veins like a wildfire.
“Jacob,” I seethed, my voice trembling with hurt and frustration. “How could you choose her over me? After everything we’ve been through together?”
He looked at me, his eyes filled with regret and sadness. “I’m sorry,” he said softly. “I didn’t mean to hurt you. It’s just that Bella and I have a history, and I can’t ignore that.”
I clenched my fists, trying to keep my emotions in check. “So, what? Our history means nothing to you? All the late-night conversations, the laughter, the stolen glances? Did that mean absolutely nothing?”
Jacob sighed, running a hand through his hair. “No, it meant something. You mean something to me. But Bella… she’s always been there, and I can’t just turn my back on her.”
I took a step back, feeling the weight of his words crushing my spirit. “Well, Jacob, you need to make a choice. It’s either her or me. You can’t have both of us.”
He looked torn, his eyes searching mine for a sign of forgiveness. But all he found was an unwavering determination. I couldn’t let myself be second best, not anymore.
“I deserve someone who chooses me, Jacob,” I said, my voice trembling but resolute. “Someone who sees me as their number one, not an option. If you can’t give me that, then maybe it’s time we go our separate ways.”
Tears welled up in my eyes as I turned away, walking away from the person I thought would always be by my side. It hurt more than I could have ever imagined, but I knew deep down that I deserved better.
And perhaps, someday, I would find someone who would choose me without hesitation, without second thoughts. But until then, I would heal my broken heart and move forward, knowing that my worth was not defined by someone else’s choice.

Attending Hogwarts w/ the DSMP: Patronous
Includes: Dream, Georgenotfound, Sapnap, Badboyhalo & Skeppy, Quackity, Karl Jacobs, C!Philza, C!Technoblade, Nihachu, Punz, FoolishGamers
Click here before requesting, please ^^
Reader: GN - They/Them
Hogwarts Series || Previous Part
A.N: Wilbur is the only one who cannot produce a Patronus, because of what he's going through in the series. Eret and Sam don't take part in the DA until the war
❝ Dream ❞
You couldn't stop laughing as Dream's Patronous turned out to be a golden retriever
Prior to dating him, you had commented on his golden retriever like attitude
To which he scoffed and pushed it aside
But now here you were, staring at the golden dog running around the room
In a contrasting, yet complimenting, way, your Patronous' ended up being a black cat
Who kept on swatting away the dog as it got closer to it
✨
❝ Georgenotfound ❞
His patronous was kind of decided the second he became an animagus
The mannerisms of the cat really reflected George's own mannerisms
But imagine your surprise when your patronous turned out to be a cute little cannary
Flying over George's patronous, as the cat followed it around the room
It looked like a scene from a cartoon
Playful and absolutely adorable
You both could definetly see the reflection of yourselves in them
✨
❝ Sapnap ❞
I feel like no one in the room was surprised once a panda Patronus made it's way out of Sapnap's wand
Neither were you when a similar, but smaler, red panda appeared out of yours
The red panda climbing it's way on the panda's head, only for it to be grabbed by the other for cuddles
It was adorable, and a bit embarrassing because it was like you were cuddling Sapnap
You didn't hear the end of it from your friends
✨
❝ Badboyhalo & Skeppy ❞
I might've taken this idea from an old stream, sh, we don't need to talk about it
You, Bad and Skeppy had the same Patronous, which is a parrot
They were the only three in the room
Skeppy's was flying around causing a ruckus, while Bad's and your's were flying behind him to try and stop him
Kind of like you three irl haha
You three imagine the parrots to have different colors
Bad's red, Skeppy's blue and your's (insert fav color)
It was like you three were bound with eachother no matter what
✨
❝ Quackity ❞
It took a few tries for Quackity to get the Patronous to appear
Losing Charlie caused him to not be able to think of any happy memory
Because all of them had him in it
You were on the same boat
But one night, you two stayed in the room of requirements a little longer than you expected
The room, somehow, providing you with your childhood bedroom, whre you three used to play in
Pictures of your past covered the ground and you and Quackity were reminiscing all those beautiful memories
It gave you both the courage and the closure you needed
After agreeing that Charlie wouldn't want you two to linger in your own sadness, you both were able to cast a patronous the next day
Quackity's was a duck and your's a swan
The two birds swam happily around another, making you and your friend blush of embarassement
✨
❝ Karl Jacobs ❞
You and Karl had actually leanred your Patronous prior to any of the DA meetings
It was an important spell to learn, especially when dealing with dark creatures like Dementors or Lethifolds
So you took your time, and a bit of help from Harry, to learn it on your own
Karl was a frog, while your's a koi fish
You were both surprised by the fact that you both had animals that, usually, lived in lakes
And thought that maybe all the time you were spending with one another may have somehow affected the end result
Or maybe something stronger had?
✨
❝ C!Phil & C!Techno ❞
While your team took a break from training, you had curiously asked Professor Phil if he had ever casted a Patronous
To which he showed you by producing a beautiful crow one
Also adding the fact that it complimented his wife's, Professor Tristin, Patronous, which is an owl
Techno also casted his, a pig hopping around you and nuzzling it's chubby cheek onto yours
You chuckled as you looked at the Patronous, commenting on how the two looked very alike
Techno flushed at your statement
✨
❝ Nihachu ❞
You and Niki giggled as your Patronous' played with eachother
The bunny, which was Niki's, and the fox, yours, were playing around the room
Some people might see the two animals as a hunter and it's pray
But, in this situation, people were underestimating the innocent looking bunny
✨
❝ Punz ❞
Both of your Patronous' were considered as "royalty" in the animal kingdom
A lion, being the king of the animals
And an eagle, being the king of the sky
It was kind of ironic that Punz had a lion Patronous, considering that he was a Slytherin
You never made him forget that for the rest of the year
✨
❝ FooishGamers ❞
Usually, people are scared of sharks
But the one that Foolish casted was anything but scary
The shark was swiming and jumping around happily, almost acting like a dolphin
While your Patronous', a beautiful blue whale, just stood there calmly as the energetic shark swam around it
You could say it is a pretty good representation of how you and Foolish were

romeo and...cullen? | part 9.
Summary: Y/N Cullen, youngest in both actual age and last to be turned in the Cullen clan. Her world is turned upside down when Bella Swan enters her family’s life, because Bella doesn’t bring just herself but drags some of her friends into the Cullen’s life as well.
Warnings for the Series: light violence, light angst, light smut
Pairing: Jacob Black x reader
Word Count: 1.5k
Previous Part | (Series Masterlist)
“Hey Jake, it’s me again. Bella said you cut your hair? And got a tattoo? Um I was just calling to say hi and see if we were still on for our date on Tuesday. It’s gonna be our anniversary, you know… do you still want me to come down for Spring Break?”
You left the voicemail on Jake’s phone.
It had been the fourth time you called and he hadn’t answered. When you talked to Bella the other day, she told you that Jake had been avoiding her after the movies. Billy said it was mono but neither you nor Bella believed it.
There was one possibility you already knew of but you didn’t want to think it possible. Not for someone like Jacob, he wouldn’t just ditch you. But Tuesday rolled around and you sat in your fancy dress waiting for a call that didn’t come. You changed into pajamas and went downstairs to get ice cream. You were eating the tub of (Y/F/F) ice cream when you heard your phone ring from upstairs. You raced upstairs and answered the phone at lightning speed.
“Jake?”
“(Y/F/N)…” Jacob paused.
“Jake?”
“Don’t, don’t call me again (Y/N).” Jacob’s voice faltered before he spoke up again but with more strength in his voice. “We can’t be together. I don’t think I can be, I can’t be with a leech like you.”
“You’re not serious?”
“I’m so…”
You heard Billy Black’s voice call his son’s name.
“Just don’t call me again, (Y/N). We’re done, it’s probably best if you don’t come down for Spring Break.”
Jasper felt your whole mood shift from excited to overwhelming sadness as he entered the house. Something told him to come home early from hunting with everyone else and he thanked whatever it was. He raced to your room as he saw you hang up the phone. Koda, who was at your feet, moved to put her head in your lap. Jasper didn’t say anything but just gave you a hug. He was always worried about something like this.
~~
You came down for Spring Break anyway, Bella insisted. So you came down for your friend, booking a room in a small bed and breakfast near Port Angeles. Charlie insisted you could stay at their house but you didn’t want to impose, knowing that Charlie didn’t always like to stay at home and you had a dog with you. You had enjoyed hanging out with your friend until she suggested confronting Jacob. You didn’t want to, you were still trying to get over him.
“I’m serious (Y/N). It’s not cool, just ditching us like that. I’m not doing this with someone again.” Bella sat up more on her bed, running a hand through her hair. The action caused Koda to spring off the bed and lay back down on the floor.
“You know I’m not allowed on the res, right. The whole Cold Ones thing doesn’t blow over well with them.”
“That’s no excuse. Nope.” Bella stood up and put on her boots. “We’re going, today.”
“Did you not just hear what I said? Earth to Bells?”
Bella dragged you into her truck regardless. You stayed in her car, thankful that it still smelled like vampire from all the times Edward had been in it. You figured as long as you stayed in the truck and didn’t move a muscle, you’d be safe. You never imagined the day you broke the treaty would be for Bella and not Jacob.
You waited in the car that Bella parked by Jake’s garage out of view for your safety. You could hear her approach the main house.
“I need to see him,” Bella said.
“He’s not in.” You could hear the voice of Billy Black.
“I’m sorry Billy, but I really need to see him.”
It was dead silent after that and you assumed that Bella had gone into the house, your hearing was only so good even as a vampire. You stiffened as you heard multiple voices entering Jake’s backyard. You hoped your friend would hurry up. Even with the proper precautions, it was definitely dangerous to be on the reservation right now.
“What did you do?! He didn’t want this!” You heard Bella yell.
You could also hear the laughter of a bunch of boys. You weren’t sure how many but definitely enough for a pack, enough to rip you apart.
“What did we do? What did he do? What did he tell you?”
“Paul.” You heard another voice say. So the first boy must have been Paul.
“Nothing!” Bella yelled. “He tells me nothing because he’s scared of you!”
Paul started laughing, pissing Bella off. You could hear the sharp ringing of a snap and then growling. One of the boys told Bella to get back and all of a sudden Bella’s yelling for Jake to run. This might have been a death sentence but you weren’t about to let Bella get hurt by one of the wolves. You raced out of the car and to your friend who looked shocked to see you. You crouched over your friend protectively as Jacob leaped over the two of you, turning into a giant wolf as he did.
“Are you okay Bella?” you asked.
“Take Bella back to Emily’s place.” Now that you were there you could see who was speaking. Sam had given the command to Jared and Embry.
“Don’t touch her,” you growled as you helped your friend to her feet.
“You shouldn’t even be on our land, leech, you’re lucky we aren’t ripping you apart,” Embry said.
“I only came because I heard Bella scream.”
“We know, that’s why you’re still alive,” Sam spoke up.
“But how do I know she’ll still be alive when I leave?”
Jared laughed. “That’s rich coming from you, bloodsucker.”
“Just get out of here Cullen,” Sam said.
Upon hearing Sam say Cullen, Jacob stopped fighting with Paul and turned to look. Your eyes met Jake’s wolf.
“You’re fucking kidding me,” Sam said.
The others all turned to Jacob. Paul made a move towards you but Jacob was faster. He knocked you down on accident as he took a protective stance in front of you. His black claw scratched you as fell, cutting deep enough to cause a little blood making you gasp in a little pain as you held your wrist.
Now you know what the rest of your family had been so scared about last year. You hadn’t seen it for yourself until right now but there was the blood. And it was clearly coming from you. You knew you’d have to tell Carlisle when you got home.
Jacob turned to you. A high pitched whine came from the wolf as he looked at your bloody wrist. He nuzzled at your hand as you stood up. Bella was by your side in an instant. Jake licked at the wounds on your wrist, already feeling bad for the damage he caused. Paul growled and snapped at Jacob making him turn back around again, pissed.
“I’m okay. I’m okay.”
“Both of you, Emily’s house,” Sam practically commanded.
Jared and Embry followed you to Bella’s truck. They gave the girl instructions as she drove to what you assumed was Emily’s house. When you arrived, Jared and Embry jumped out of the truck.
“Should we go back and see if Jake’s okay?” Bella asked.
“Nah, let Paul sink some teeth in him. Serves him right,” Jared said.
“You know he couldn’t help it man,” Embry said to his friend. “Come on in ladies, we don’t bite.”
“Speak for yourself,” Jared added, looking pointedly at you.
“Yeah, well I can bite too.” You followed Embry towards the front door.
“Oh. Emily, Sam’s fiance…don’t stare. It really bugs Sam,” Embry warned you and Bella.
“Why would we stare?” Bella asked.
You followed them into the house to see a dark-haired woman. She turned around holding a fresh hot pan of muffins. You could see the reason they said don’t stare. A giant scar of claw marks was running down one side of her face. It didn’t change the fact that she was beautiful, if anyone was staring it would be because of her looks first but you made sure not to look for too long like they said. You stayed behind Embry, relatively unseen, while Bella stepped a little further into the house.
“Who are these girls?” Emily asked.
“Bella Swan and uhh…”
“(Y/N),” you said filling in the gap for Jared. You purposely left out your last name and hoped neither one of the boys would rat you out.
“Ah, so you’re the vampire girl,” Emily said to Bella.
“So… you’re the wolf girl,” Bella said back.
“Well, I’m engaged to one,” Emily laughed as she set the muffin basket down on the table. Jared and Embry were about to dig in when she slapped their hands. It reminded you of you and Esme’s interactions.
“Hey! Save some for your brothers. And ladies first, muffin?”
“Sure,” Bella said, picking up a treat. You didn’t touch anything trying to make as little movement as possible.
“Leave it to Jake to find a way around Sam’s gag order,” Embry said as he picked up a muffin.
“He didn’t say anything to me,” Bella told him.
“That’s a wolf thing. Alpha’s orders get obeyed whether we want to or not. And check it out, we can hear each other’s thoughts!” Embry explained excitedly.
“Will you shut up?” Jared shoved him. “These are trade secrets, dammit. This chick runs with vampires. And this one…”
You gave Jared a look and he shut up immediately.
“You can’t exactly run with vampires… cause they’re fast,” Bella said.
You laughed and gave the two boys across from you a smirk as Bella gave you a fist bump.
“Yeah? Well we’re faster, freaked out yet?”
“You’re not the first mind readers I’ve met,” Bella said nonchalantly.
“Jake’s right.” Sam walked into the house strolling over to Emily. “You’re good with weird.”
Paul came in shortly after Sam. He sat down saying sorry to Bella and muttering a reluctant sorry to you. Paul was joking around with the others like nothing happened. You look at him incredulously, he was really joking around like he didn’t just try to kill you. You chose not to say anything and drew your eyes away.
“He’s on the porch.” Paul noticed you looking towards the door.
You made your way outside, hearing them mutter something about imprint, Cullen, and anger. Jacob stood up from where he was sitting on the porch.

Bonded by blood
edward cullen x morbius
TWs: blood, cheating, gay, running away, eventual smut, homophobia
Get ready for the ride of your life everyone!😼
if you could maybe support a queer love story for pride month it would be awesome !!!!!
chapter 1 / ?
Renesmee POV
“You’re literal dogwater! You’re trash! Get good! I hate you, trash teammate! KYS (Kill yourself)!” Renesmee spoke into the microphone, gently and quietly, as not to let her parents find out her darkest secret that not even the ones she loved could ever hear about.
She indulged in video games— Fortnite, to be exact. It was the only thing that could heal her numb emotions, and fill the hole in her heart Jacob left when her father so cruelly cast him away. With a restraining order, of course. But, there was yet another secret she was keeping. Every night, she departed from her sleeping quarters, and waited for her beloved to visit her in the darkest hours of the night. It seemed he was approaching, and she would soon see her forbidden lover. She could hear him, now, he was outside the window, and he howled with passion. Every howl screamed her name, “Renesmee, Renesmee, Renesmee…” she imagined him saying, away from the watchful eye of Edward.
The window slid open, to reveal a muscular man with luscious, long locks of silky, black hair. His brown eyes looked only at Renesmee, and his heart beat only for her. “Jacob,” she said, returning his intense gaze. “Renesmee,” he replied, inviting himself into her room, careful not to make a sound. Renesmee had an idea, a rebellious, scandalous, idea. She longed to run away from her parents, and spend the rest of eternal life with the wolf-man of her dreams. So, she needed to make a choice, her parents or her love? There was only one true answer. The answer her parents had chosen to create this family- love. “Jacob, I have an idea… but it’s risky and requires full cooperation.” she spoke concisely and with determination, her eyes piercing through his lovestruck soul. Jacob did not hesitate for a moment. “Anything for you, loca.” and so, she proposed her idea, with only Jacob in her mind and heart. “Will you… run away w-w-w-w-with me?” Jacob listened to her words carefully. The answer was obvious. “Always, Renesmee.”
And so, they were off together, into the harsh night, the only shield they had being the love for one another.
Dr. Micheal Morbius POV
Micheal’s eyes fluttered open, laying on the cold lab table. He couldn’t remember a thing. All his thoughts were blurry, and his body ached everywhere- hunger, pain, sadness, it all consumed him. He wasn’t sure why. He turned to his side, the debris-like bats fluttering around in circles in their large test tube like enclosure. They called to him, almost as if they were one of his kind. One of the living vampires. His lab was located in a desolate forest, not far from the Swan-Cullen residences. He felt the uncontrollable vampire rage inside of him, and he knew he could not do anything to prevent the monster about to break free. Near the door of his lab, he could hear rapid footsteps, approaching it. He wanted to cry out, “No! Run while you still can!” but all he could do was growl, scream, wretch— out in pain. He tried to tie himself down, but he knew the monster inside would not be subdued, it was much too late for that.
The smell of blood was enticing, it was exciting, it was all he could think about. It was so strong, he could smell it wafting through the lab door, which was slowly opening. The air, though, was odd, something was running through it, and something extremely fast. Micheal felt fear, but yet, all he could think about was the incoming meal. That meal being Jacob and Renesmee. Micheal tried with all his might to stop himself, but he could not, and a loud roar echoed throughout the lab. Before he knew it, he was latched onto the ceiling, hanging from the top of it, awaiting his prey. It was, in fact, morbin time.
“Renesmee, stay close to me…” Jacob said, trying to navigate through the bat-filled lab. In her defiance, Renesmee crept in front of the half-wolf half-man, but she never would've guessed what she would see. The room was silent for a moment, the only noise being the creeping from the ceiling, and the rapidly fluttering wings of the bats. “Renesmee, get back here…” said Jacob, anticipating the horror in front of the two of them. Then, he heard it, a claw cutting through metal, and pain-filled gasps and groans. Renesmee, horrified, looked up to meet the cold, dead eyes of the monster awaiting them, it's disgusting, mangled mouth hung open. Then, it uttered a few words that left Renesmee’s blood cold. “I do not control the morb. The morb controls me.”
Micheal leapt from the ceiling, and his claws met Renesmee’s side. She let out a blood-curdling scream, as Micheal immediately dashed to her bloody side. Jacob was not going to let anyone, not even this monster, hurt her. And soon, the man shifted into a wolf with fur black as night. He howled, although Micheal was unphased, his red eyes did not even break contact with Renesmee’s gash. Seeing Micheal drain the blood from her body, Jacob was reminded of his long-time enemy, the Swan-Cullens. Jacob pounced on Micheal… no, Morbius… and before he could even try to kill the monster, Morbius struck him too, leaving his voluptuous tail on the ground, severed.
But they weren’t alone in this fight. Two familiar faces had heard their screams. “Get away from my daughter!” yelled Edward. “Y—yeah. Just, um… stay–stay away? I… I don’t know, stop— hurting her,” Bella agreed, displaying her sharp vampiric teeth. Morbius cried out, but they couldn’t tell what he was saying. He seemed to be trying to stop himself from hurting Renesmee and Jacob, but he couldn’t. Edward’s heart ached with empathy, he would know more than anyone what being unable to control the monster inside of you was like. Finally, Morbius pulled himself away from Renesmee, and while Edward felt anger at him for injuring his daughter, he also felt bad for Morbius. “Run… while you still… can…” Morbius muttered, trying to hold himself back. What Edward said in reply made his heart skip a beat.
“I would never abandon another vampire.”
“What?”
“I would know more than anyone what your pain feels like.”
“Run…” Morbius said in a final, desperate attempt to save Edward.
“I won’t let you kill anyone. And I won’t let you suffer alone, either.”
Edward held Morbius’ hands behind his back, but didn’t make any attempts to harm him. Morbius, or now, as he felt his humanity returning, Micheal, had never felt such warmness in his life. Edward didn’t need to say a thing. Michael didn’t need to say anything, either. Then, they heard a voice.
“What are you doing, queers?!” yelled Bella in a cold, uncaring voice Edward had never seen before.
And hearing her like this, and having Morbius ever so close, he knew… who he really loved.

Sidney's POV
𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗚𝗜𝗥𝗟𝗦 are riding with me to Forks High School to enroll. I showered, got dressed, and grabbed my phone and car keys.
"Are you ladies ready yet?" I called throughout the house as I left my room.
"We're coming!" I hear Raelynn's voice yell from upstairs.
"Let's go," I said, touching my hips.
Finally, after what seemed like forever, different footsteps trotted down the steps.
"Jeez, we had to ensure we had all the correct papers," Autumn said as she descended the steps.
The rest of the girls came down dressed and ready. We left the house outside in my red Jeep Wrangler, and I drove to the school. As I pulled into a space, students went to their vehicles to get to class. Walking through the high school doors, I found the office, and we headed inside.
"Hello, how can I help you, ladies?" A woman at the front desk asked with a polite smile.
"Hi, we're here to enroll ourselves in school," I replied, returning the smile to her.
"Are you ladies of age?" The woman, whose name tag read Adalyn Mitchell, asked, looking at us.
"Yeah, and we live together," I answered, straightening the papers.
"Okay, just hand over your forms, have a seat, and wait for the principal, please." The front desk receptionist said with a smile on her face.
"What classes are you hoping to get?" I asked the girls, crossing one leg over the other.
"It doesn't matter to me. I can outsmart the nerds here." Audrey grinned, shrugging her shoulders.
"Yeah, that sounds right." I laughed, nodding my head.
Soon, the woman returned and handed us our documents before typing away on her computer. The receptionist told us to have a seat while she enrolled us in school since it would take a little while.
"Oh, since we're all here, what happened when you shifted the other night?" Jenny quietly asked, glancing around to ensure no one was watching us.
"Well, after I shifted, Nessia came to a clearing where Embry was waiting," I explained, thinking back to that night. "We talked, and he told me the truth."
"What truth?" Audrey questioned with a confused expression.
"The reason my brother, Paul, and Jared bullied me was that they saw me as weak since I'm from the Black Bloodline and hadn't shifted yet," I revealed, growing sad at the thought.
"That's fucked up," Autumn said, shaking her head as she hugged me.
"You know what? Let's go to Sam's place so I can fuck all four of them up." Jenny remarked, visibly upset.
"Calm down, sassy pants," Raelynn said, touching Jenny's shoulder.
"And what did Embry say Sam did about the situation?" Audrey questioned, glancing at me.
"I forgot to ask." I shrugged my shoulders.
"I bet he looked the other way. Fucking piece of shit." Jenny cursed, shaking her head with crossed arms.
"Either that, or he didn't have a care in the world," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.
"Imagine their faces if and when they find out you're a wolf and a strong one." Autumn teased as a smirk appeared on her face.
"That would be the best thing ever." Raelynn laughed, nodding her head.
"The look of defeat and disappointment in their eyes will be priceless." Autumn chuckled, staring off into space.
"Oh, let the games begin." Jenny laughed, rubbing her hands together.
The principal and secretary called us into the office and reviewed our schedule and school rules. After the lady at the front desk gave us our necessary paperwork, we exited the building, returned to my car, and got in. Autumn suggested we go to a coffee shop to get out of the house. Arriving at Frozen Bean Coffee Bar, we got out and headed inside, where the smell of coffee beans hit my nose. It smelled so good.
As we found an empty table, Autumn and Raelynn stood in line to order blueberry or banana muffins and iced coffee for everyone. I never get tired of it, seeing as I'm used to eating muffins from Emily.
"So, since we're on the topic of Sam and his pack, tell us about Embry, Sidney," Raelynn commented, sending a grin my way.
I gasped, causing myself to choke on my iced coffee as I glanced at her. "W-What about Embry?"
"What is he like?" Audrey asked with a sly grin on her face.
"In what way?" I questioned, arching an eyebrow at her.
"I don't know. What's Embry's favorite food or color?" She replied, smiling at me.
"Well, his favorite color is blue, and as far as food, I'm guessing any meat," I explained, shrugging my shoulders. "He's super sweet, though."
"You said he would always be nice to you when the other guys weren't around, right?" Raelynn asked, looking at me.
"Yeah, after Jacob, Paul, and Jared bullied me, he'd find me and make sure I was okay," I answered, chewing another piece of my blueberry muffin.
"Aww, that's so sweet." Autumn cooed, softly smiling at me.
"When the guys were around bullying me, it was as if Embry wanted to say something to them to get them to stop," I pointed out, swirling my straw in my cup.
"The main problem is Jacob, Jared, and Paul. Not Embry." Raelynn conceded, nodding in thought.
"Exactly what I thought," I replied, nodding in agreement.
"Just wait. If I ever come across those guys, it will NOT be pretty. I'll tell you that." Jenny remarked, shaking her head.
Upon hearing Jenny's meaningful comment, I smiled at her determined words. "I'm glad I have you girls as real friends."
"Aww, and we're glad we have you too." Audrey cooed as my friends wrapped me in a bear hug.
As they sat down, we continued chatting about what we wanted in our future with our mates. Just thinking about a life with Embry made me feel a way inside. It gave me butterflies picturing him as a father, but I loved it. I'm in love with that idea. Maybe it wasn't so bad.
Unlocking the house's front door, I walked inside first and heard the sound of the guys screaming at each other. Confused, I looked at the girls, and we raced to where they were. I found Drew holding baby Ella over the sink inside the butler's pantry with poop all over her back and on his arm.
"What the hell is going on?" I asked, staring at him with my hand on my hips.
"Diaper explosion. It's everywhere." He replied, gagging at the sight before him.
"Bro, we have to throw the whole baby away." I hear Xavier say from behind me.
"You will do no such thing." Raelynn gasped, turning to look at him.
"Look, calm down. All you have to do is clean Ella up, wash her, and redress her." Audrey replied, rolling her eyes.
"It's all over her seat and blankets, too," Drew replied as Raelynn turned on the faucet.
"Okay, we'll clean it," Jenna said, walking towards the living room.
I followed behind her and saw the explosion baby Ella had in her seat. Drew wasn't kidding when he said his daughter had poop everywhere. It was on her chair, the blanket, and the rug. Grabbing the pink baby blanket and the carpet, I headed to the laundry room and tossed them in the washer. While those were washing, I helped Jenna scrub the baby rocker.Finally, after baby Ella was cleaned up and changed into a new diaper, she was all smiles and giggles. As for Drew, he gagged all the way upstairs to his room for a much-needed shower.
Jacob's POV
I couldn't hold it in any longer. Why did we have to keep this curse a secret? It was stupid. Bella knew of vampires' existence, so what can't she know about wolves? Why can't she see that I'm a werewolf? This isn't fair.
' Jacob, get to the north end. NOW! We've got trouble. '
' I'm on my way, Sam. '
Opening my window, I leaped out and phased into my wolf as I ran to the destination Sam told me to meet him at. As I approached them from behind, the putrid smell of a vampire wafted into my nose, making me disgusted. The next thing I saw was Bella frozen in her tracks with the blood-sucking leech Laurent slowly stalking towards her.
' Let's move in. '
The pack and I slowly walked toward the blood-sucking leech stalking closer to Bella, emerging from the trees. Our snarls echoed through the trees as we revealed ourselves. Bella looked our way and gasped. I looked at her, and we stared at one another until Laurent took off using his vampire speed.
' Jake, let's go! '
Shifting back to human form, I slid on some shorts and followed the guys inside Emily’s place. As Sam walked inside, he glared at me and said nothing but stepped up to his fiance and kissed her cheek, making her giggle. Emily sat a basket of muffins on the table, and the guys dug in, munching away.
Sam dismissed us to go home and get some rest, but I couldn’t sleep. Not until I got this weight off my chest. Trotting to Bella’s house, I picked up a small pebble and tossed it at her window. When she didn’t come to the glass, I grabbed another and threw it up. Finally, a light in the room came on, and Bella appeared.
“Jacob?” She whispered, staring at me confused.
“Back up, I’m coming up,” I warned, moving far away.
I quietly leaped onto the side of the house, jumping to a large tree branch, and swung myself inside Bella’s room, making her gasp in shock. We stared at each other in silence before I broke it.
“Look, I’m sorry.” I apologized, walking up to my best friend.
Bella placed her hand on my abdomen, rubbing the muscles. She was quiet for a few seconds before speaking, “For what?”
“I wish I could explain, but I literally can’t.” I sighed, walking around her. I know Sam told me not to tell Bella our secret, but he didn’t say I couldn’t give her a hint. “Have you ever had a secret you couldn’t tell anyone? A secret that wasn’t yours to share?”
She stared at me, hugging herself as I sat on her bed. “What’s going on, Jacob?”
“Well, that’s what it’s like,” I replied, rubbing my hands together. “But it’s worse. You have no idea how tight I’m bound.”
“I hate this, Jacob. I hate what they’ve done to you.” Bella expressed, placing her hand on my head.
I brought her hand down and stared at the bite mark on her wrist. Her heart relaxed as she covered it with her free hand.
“The killer part is you already know.” I bitterly growled, standing to my feet. “Do you remember when we walked on the beach in LaPush, Bella?”
“What are you talking about? You mean the story of the cold ones?” Bella asked, staring at me.
“Of course that’s the only part you know.” I scoffed, shaking my head. Her eyes held realization, and I knew she got it.
I walked past her to the window, preparing to make my exit.
“I mean, there has to be something you can do.” She proposed, nodding approvingly.
“There’s nothing. I’m in it for life.” I replied, turning toward her.
“Well, what if we just leave here for a while? We leave. You and me.” Bella suggested, placing her hands on her hips.
“You’d do that for me?” I questioned, arching an eyebrow.
There was a pause as Bella shifted on her feet before she spoke, “I would do it for you.”
“Look, Bella, this is not something I can run away from. I would run if I could, but I can’t.” I mumbled, shaking my head.
“Look, Ja-I should probably get going.” I interrupted her before she could say anything. The look on Bella’s face made my heart ache. I didn’t like lying to her, so I chose to talk to her. “Come here.” I pulled her into a hug and held her.
“Jake.” She whispered, hugging me tighter.
“Please,” I whispered, rubbing her shoulder with my thumb. “Try to remember. It would be so much easier if you knew.”
Pulling away, I turned to the window. “I’ll try, but—Jake, what are you doing? Wait, Jake!”
I didn’t spare her a second glance as I leaped out of the window and ran home. In my mind, I knew Sam would have my head on a pike, but I didn’t care.

I haven't been on tumblr much these days but on this Sunday past I realized I had been seeing a lot of post about IWTV, both the book and the 1994 movie. And I was like why am I seeing all this IWTV on my dash? Is there a new movie or something? I'd heard about the plans for a TV series a couple years back and completely forgotten about that.
Anyway I decided to check the tags out of curiosity and spent the next 48 hours utterly obsessed.
youtube
There's the trailer I saw if for some reason you still haven't seen it yet. Now I used to love the VC back in the day. The books were fun, erotic, and Anne Rice was a pretty good writer if a bit verbose at points and Lestat is a fantastic character. If you don't know the VC, The Vampire Chronicles are the main reason vampires with like human emotions and souls have become so popular.
So I spent the next 48 hours devouring everything I could for this new show. If I wasn't working or doing something that needed to be done I was scouring the internet for any and everything to do with AMC's Interview With the Vampire and I have some thoughts.
First I am super excited for this show, like forreal, y'all have no idea. The shit looks amazing, the directing, the costuming, the setting all of it looks on point. Things have been changed, but the spirit remains the same. Like look at that trailer and tell me everything important and essential about Louis Pointe Du Lac and Lestat De Lioncourt has not been captured.
But that said I want to talk a bit about some of the changes that have been made.
So in case you're wondering that picture of Jacob Anderson is Louis and yes he is black. Now this caught me a little off guard, like in the span of two seconds I learned that there was a new IWTV show and Louis was being played by that guy above. I immediately found the change intriguing.
That's Brad Pitt as Louis Pointe Du Lac in the 1994 film. He spent most of the movie being sad and beautiful and worming his way further into all of our teenaged hearts. He also very much does fit the description of Louis in the books, so, of course, some people are mad about this.
This isn't surprising. If you've been watching tv over the past 15 years, ever since Olivia Pope banged a president and Empire spent like 7 seasons as Fox's #1 show networks have been trying with varying degrees of success to put POC, especially Black people in more leading roles and some people really don't like that.
As a black woman I have mixed feelings about it. I have zero problems with character's having their races changed for the sake of diversity unless, of course, the character's race shapes the story in some important way. Which is why I paused when I found out about the casting. Louis Pointe Du Lac was a slave owner back in 1769, a wealthy one with two plantations.
There would have been a few Black Americans who owned slaves back then and even fewer that got rich from it. But already problematic Jacob Anderson playing a Louis that owned slaved would be especially distasteful. So instead the setting is changed. It's 1910 and Louis is a brothel owner.
Now some of the critics have used the idea of Louis as a pimp as some type of gotcha moment and I get it. They made this character Black and promptly made him a criminal??? Not quite, much like slavery in 1769 in 1910 New Orleans it wasn't illegal to own a brothel or do sex work.
So he's not a criminal and he's apparently grown extremely wealthy from running brothels. That doesn't make it okay, of course, but I imagine that's kind of the point. In this instance owning brothels could be considered analogous owning plantations. They're not the same but ya' know tomato, tomato.
Louis and his family, siblings and parents look like they are doing very well in the trailers. It's important that Louis have money because as he starts to doubt Lestat's feelings for him Louis comes to believe that Lestat is with him for the money. Oh Louis!
Now the usual suspects aren't the only ones bothered by the idea of Louis being a brothel owner some find it genuinely uncomfortable to have a sympathetic character doing bad things and some genuinely feel that it plays into a stereotype, which is part of why I want to offer my opinion.
Characters aren't meant to be perfect not even the POC ones. Characters need depth, they need flaws, they need vices and damn it when you change a character's race to diversify a story some things can and should change but the essence, the spirit of the character should stay the same.
He can't be an aspiration trophy, mortal Louis needs to acquire his wealth in an exploitative way, he needs to be a flawed character with room to grow.
You may still be uncomfortable with idea and certainly everyone is entitled to their opinion but it's flaws and vices that make characters relatable and beloved, its flaws and vices that make them feel real and human and its their flaws and vices that maybe sometimes teach something about ourselves.
Other Changes
Louis also seems to be somewhat more assertive and have more agency. I think that's smart. The other thing that bothered me with the race change was the already slanted power dynamic between the two being that much worse. To do this day in the African-American community one of the biggest concerns for us in interracial dating is the social power dynamic. Racism can become that much more dangerous if you're involved with an abusive white person. And well we all know what Louis says about his relationship with Lestat...
I do also think that Louis being Black and successful would simply have to be tougher more assertive person. I don't imagine he inherited the brothels and generational wealth and even if he did it's going to be a fight for a black family to keep that kind of wealth in 1910.
So with all these changes you might be wondering how can he possibly be the same. Well in many ways he's not but when you consider Louis' purpose in the story as a character, his core, his ability to drive the narrative home all Louis Pointe Du Lac needs to do is grieve, feel guilty and ashamed about things that were out of his control, be a bit of a liar and be really, really pretty in the face. From the trailers it certainly looks to me like Jacob Anderson's Louis is all of those things.

All anon questions, so I compiled them here in one place! Thank you to those of you who sent me asks about my OCs. I appreciate you guys 🖤
Original Prompt here - ask me about my OCs!!
Oh gosh, the floodgates of my mind have been reopened... this sad family has me in a chokehold I fear. For those of you who don't know about the Barths, they're a family from one of my sim dumps. I haven't talked about them much on here since sharing them, so thank you for this ask!
-> Jacob grew up in Copperdale in a trailer home community with his mom and little sister, Scout!
-> I wouldn't say he's necessarily an animal lover, but he is a dog lover!! He's never had a dog, but he's always wanted one!!! (Having a dog is one of his long term goals now that he's not incarcerated any more.)
-> His favorite food wouldn't be anything fancy - a classic smash burger, side of curly fries, and a peanut butter milkshake for dessert would be his perfect meal!
-> I imagine Jacob is the kind of person to keep many secrets, unfortunately. Some of them he keeps from his little sister to preserve her childhood and her view of him, some of them he has kept because he feels shame, others he keeps to protect himself. Needless to say, he would really benefit from speaking to a mental health professional.
Omg Freya!!!!
-> Freya isn't outdoorsy but she does loves all animals; I wish we had birds in the sims because she would absolutely have a pet owl. I also think she would have a pet rabbit or two!
-> I personally headcanon Freya as neurodivergent! (Diagnosed Dyspraxia; on a related note I always imagined her to have sensory processing issues and delayed speech as a child as well, which has resulted in a noticeable speech impediment even into adulthood.)
-> Zoe is biracial; her mother is Black and her father (who is not a part of her life) is Caucasian/white
-> Tashia is Black
-> Erwin is Caucasian/white
-> Beckett is Caucasian/white
-> Anwar's ethnic identity is complex because by America's race/ethnicity classifications, he would be considered "white" - he obviously does not identify as white, nor is he white lol, but that's America for you! I went into his background HERE if you're curious, but I think he would probably identify as Arab and/or Middle Eastern.
-> Junia is biracial. Her father is white/Caucasian but her mother is Mexican and Native American - specifically Cherokee. She was basically raised by her mother's parents when her mom died, so she is more closely connected to her Native and Hispanic roots and would identify as such.

The One Novel Ranpo Can't Solve - (Edgar Allan Poe x Edogawa Ranpo /One Shot/)
Tags: Ranpo Edogawa/Edgar Allan Poe, Ranpo Edogawa, Edgar Allan Poe, Tooth Rotting Fluff, Fluff, Getting Together, Love Confessions, Bad Poetry, Pining, Kissing, First Kiss, Friends to Lovers, Enemies to Friends to Lovers, First I love You’s, Mentions of Murder, Mentions of Suicide, Not Graphic!! Just in Poe's writing!
--- - --- - --- - --- - --- - --- - --- - --- - --- - --- - -
‘The heart once so full of love and equity dishevelled in his chest as he felt the blood reach his feet…“Jane” he muttered under his breath. Not that there was such a thing left in his lungs. “Jane” he repeated as his eyes filled with sorrow, his face was wet with agony. “Lo’
A hand took Poe’s from the keyboard of his typewriter. Without turning around he knew who it was. The sticky -probably from hard sweets- fingers that grabbed his wrist, they looked so small compared to his that were long and boney.
“Good evening, Dear Ranpo” he felt Karl jump off his shoulders as a different body rested on them. Ranpo’s arms wrapped around his neck, his head leaning off to the side just enough to be able to see each other.
“So~ How’s the new novel going~?” Ranpo coos, unable to stop the excitement of getting a new novel to sit through. The last one took him totally by surprise as he’d actually had three guesses for the ending and not even one was correct! He couldn’t believe how good Poe’s writing has gotten.
“Oh this is actually a personal story, it’s a gothic romance where the lead; Jacob, gets married to his girlfriend of a year not realising she still has some secrets he’s never been told.” he stops talking about the story when he sees Ranpo smiling at him almost mockingly because of how lovingly he speaks of his work.
“You’re right, it’s not at all my thing but can I read the first page? Since I’m guessing you haven’t finished” Poe nods, looking through his well organised filing cabinet. He takes the page out and hands it to Ranpo with a softly-embarrassed smile.
He waits patiently for Ranpo to read through it though it only takes the first few lines for him to burst into laughter. Was his writing that bad? Surely not, his gothic romance novels that he published under a pen name did much better than any other works, though still all of them were very popular especially back in the US.
“So- this gorgeous girl named Jane has, hair the ‘black of a raven's feather, tapering at her nape’ with ‘Lunar green eyes, with a fade of olivine reflected by the light when not hidden behind her thick glasses.’ She’s also around 5’5’’ and has a beautiful smile?” He starts laughing more, he can’t believe this is what Poe imagines when he writes this story. He sees Poe’s face turn red, or at least the part of his face that isn’t covered by his hair.
“So- your mysterious lovely girlfriend in this book is just- me?” he asks teasingly, placing the page on Poe’s desk.
“I hadn’t realised…” he mumbled, it was an obvious lie, and Ranpo well but knew this. Soon Ranpo’s hands wrapped around Poe again, hugging him. He continued to softly giggle as he looked up at Poe’s embarrassed face.
“So you know the specific hues of my eyes?” He asks, opening his eyes fully to tease Poe even more.
Poe brings a hand to Ranpo’s cheek, running a thumb under his eye. They were as beautiful as always, even in his candle lit office, they glimmered so beautifully. He didn’t realise how long he was looking until Ranpo placed his hand on top of Poe’s, his pretty eyes looking away as a soft blush grew to his usually uncoloured cheeks.
Poe quickly withdrew his hand, turning back to his desk and taking the unfinished page from his typewriter and the page he gave to Ranpo, taking them back to their correct places. He follows by starting to cap all the inks he has open and cleaning up his desk.
Ranpo felt sad as soon as Poe started walking around and ignoring him. It wasn’t normal, even if he was flustered. They’d always been close! Physically and emotionally, and just..this? This one small thing made him so disheartened. He grabbed Poe’s wrist, making sure he didn't walk away.
“Ed. Why’re you so quiet, what’s wrong?” Ranpo asks with a serious tone, it’s so unusual to hear him so serious that Poe actually turns around, concerned.
“I…” He starts voice quivering. He sits down on the chair, unable to look at Ranpo even through his fringe.
‘ “ I’m sorry I had to do it, Diana Ranpo, I couldn’t hold back the way my heart jabbed the thorns deeper at your sight. It had made me insane, your every second shared with me could not change anything within me. The knife I hold to my brain shall pierce all my mistakes, even when you forgive me” ’
The latest book he’d written, the mystery novel Ranpo couldn’t solve, it was insane that the murderer was the one man that had seemed perfect! He was the one that murdered the parents of his wife, he had to though! And he couldn’t believe that the wife wouldn’t believe him or forgive him and he killed himself as well because he loved her and couldn’t forgive himself for her heartbreak? How could she be so selfish if she loved him!
Then it clicked he said the line with his name because he…
“Edgar…” he mumbled softly. The reason he couldn’t solve it was because it had been love as the drive. Not logic behind the kills but love, and the morals weren’t sound either.
He grabbed one of the quills off Poe’s desk, bringing it to his head.
‘ The knife quill rested just above his ear, tracing it down to his temple as it slowly started to press into his skin. He cries out in pain as a hand reaches for it…A pair of lips rest on his as the view blacks out with a headache. ’
The ink flows down to his jaw, eyes widening as the taste of artificial strawberry linger on his lips. The pens’ discarded on the desk as he hears the soft clack of it being placed down.
“You…Poe…I love you too” Ranpo says through jittery stutters.
Poe places his hands on Ranpo’s shoulders as he stands up. He shoves Ranpo forward into himself, wrapping his arms around his waist as he stares off into the distance. Karl looks at Poe with what seems like a happy smile and as he pulls away from the hug to look back at Ranpo, he feels a hand move his fringe to look better at his face.
“Are you…crying?” Ranpo says with a chuckle, wiping the tears Poe didn’t realise had started.
“You feel the same?” he asks in a barely audible whisper, his voice losing itself in disbelief and relief. Ranpo nodded, he knew he’d have to give Poe a second, but he stood there until the boy was finished crying and finally being able to speak properly.
“So. How about a date at the café we were meant to go to?” Poe nods excitedly followed by a chorus of ‘Yes’ and ‘Of Course’.
“I do have to go now though since it’s getting late, so, see ya tomorrow, Ed!” He waves as he walks out of the office, and the front door, putting the spare key back under his doormat before shutting the door.

what do you think all the counselors' favorite colors are?
Thanks for the ask moth! This is a bit of a challenge because I associate them so strongly with the colors they wear in the game and that doesn’t necessarily mean those colors are their favorites. But I’m gonna free associate, pull some design theory, and figure it out!
Max - Yellow. “Max Brinly loved the color yellow until he saw it in his own eyes,” popped into my head out of fucking nowhere thinking about this ask. Baby ducks, golden retrievers, early morning light. An energetic, cheerful, supportive color for an energetic, cheerful, supportive lad. Also the color associated with soldiers away at war, danger, the longing for reunion.
(This is not a joke about him being afraid lol also I know that’s orange, the tumblr font color palette is limited okay?)
Laura - Pink. I was definitely thinking about her wearing the tracksuit Max ends up in. But there’s also just something about associating a true badass with pink. It’s an unexpected twist, like going to summer camp expecting to dole out bandaids and ending up a one-eyed werewolf hunter. Pink is playful, kind, and optimistic.
Dylan - Green. His forest green phone is such a choice (everyone else has basic black or gray phones, right?) and I love it! He just strikes me as a green kind of kid. It’s a color the offbeat kids were more likely to choose when I was the age that we talked about favorite colors a lot (vs. blue, red, pink, the usual suspects). It’s the color associated with both inexperience and jealousy, but also hope, renewal, growth, the anticipation of things about to bloom.
Jacob - Red. Jacob seems like a red kind of guy to me (though, like Max with yellow, he might be a bit tired of it after the canon events) This boy has a temper and ‘sees red’ easily, but he’s also tender and lovable. Associated with passion, enthusiasm, heart, hot-headedness, fire (and fireworks!), blushing, and blood.
Ryan - Blue. He might be a little bit goth on the outside but Ryan’s a sailor, I feel like he’s drawn to water and sky. I think he’d like a teal or aqua kind of blue, think Caribbean ocean water and swimming pools with no dead bodies in them whatsoever. Blue is loyalty, dependability, a tranquil exterior, transitory sadness, and peacemaking. Blue is apparently the most popular favorite color in the world (humans love the sky, is what this tells me).
Nick - Orange. Maybe it’s because his best scenes are in the golden hour with Abi, but I imagine Nick might vibe with a sunset orange. Softer and more restrained than red but not quite as cheerful as yellow, associated with the sweet fruit of the same name, but also positivity, caution, warmth, and difficulty with commitment. Orange, like Nick, can be a polarizing color in design.
Kaitlyn - Red. There are only so many colors, we have to double up somewhere! Kaitlyn’s red has a different flavor to Jacob’s. It’s bold, alert, and protective, like the light on top of an ambulance, but also flashy and action-oriented. Fire can be equally as defensive as it is destructive. We can assume Kaitlyn shares Brenda Song’s Chinese and Thai heritage, and red is an extremely auspicious color in Chinese culture. Also, on a shallower note, I love Kaitlyn’s red shoulder stripes in her 80’s ‘fit! I wish they’d made her high top converse red to match!
Abi - Purple. She doesn’t wear anything purple in the entire game, in any of her ‘fits, and you might make a good argument for her favorite being red, but I think Abi is a purple gal at heart. Maybe a soft, romantic, sweet shade like lavender. Associated with dignity, intuition, a rich fantasy life, and emotional depth. (My personal favorite, with teal and green not far behind).
Emma - Green. Doubling up again, but I have to let the game guide me here. Emma consistently has green as a major color or accent across all three of her outfits, so clearly she’s drawn to it. Shes the only one with a color theme like that! Maybe she likes that it brings out the greener tones in her hazel eyes. I imagine her gravitating toward a more emerald shade, associated with success, wealth, and abundance. There’s a dramatic flair to green that fits Emma well.
🌈 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
I could probably talk myself out of half of these and have reasoning for alternate takes, tbh, but I’d love to know what others think!

Spoons + More Beth/Leah Comparisons
@wdway:
I went back to look at the episode Find Me again because I wanted to take a deep dive into why I felt so strongly that Beth was an invisible presence in the episode. Beth's presence is unseen, nevertheless was definitely felt in almost every scene. I hope that I have shown that to be true these last couple of days in connecting FM scenes with previous Beth scenes mainly from Still and Alone. Some connections obviously seem stronger than others, but the volume of the connections speaks loudly that I wasn't just imagining it. Here are a few that stand out to me.
I felt that for a viewer that might not be a Bethyler but a TWD fan who have seen episodes repeatedly they might recognize the similarities between these scenes.
I thought the tree trunk, car trunk connection was exciting find but when we added in the intimate personal connections that put it over the top for me, making these 3 shots one of my favorites.
I love the thought of it being Leah who is asking where Daryl belongs and Daryl in answer saying with Beth.
I don't think any of us really like the idea of Daryl writing a note to Leah saying that he belongs with her but to be clear we didn't see Leah's name on the note. Beth leaving a note even if no one came back to read it she would know it was there because she would be leaving a piece of herself. This has new meaning for me in looking at the note that Daryl left which could say that Daryl wanted to make his feeling known, something he never did in real life with Beth but he could say it in a note.
Looking at this scene again it screams out to me that Carol did not use a name.
@galadrieljones:
Yes I have always felt that Daryl is writing to Beth here, or it could even just be like, to anyone, a call back to the story he tells Andrea about the time he got lost in the woods and got sick off poison berries and nobody came to find him. But I really think so much of what takes place with Leah takes place because Daryl is trying to live out what he never got to have with Beth, this lovely safe life in the wilderness with a girl who accepts him for who he is and who keeps him safe from his own sad depths and tendencies toward depressive, self-isolating behavior, and he keeps her safe from the dangers of the world in which they live. It’s this ultimate male fantasy that ofc comes crashing down because Leah is Leah. She isn’t Beth.
(And again I’ll harp on the name Leah as being so important in this interpretation, as Leah is the Biblical imposter with “sad eyes” who appears to Jacob as his true love but is actually just disguised as such and is anything but.)
@wdway:
Leah was introduced in FM. We saw through Daryl's perspective the beginning of Leah and Daryl's relationship, with Leah simply disappearing at the end of the episode connected in a way to the other woman that had a relationship with Daryl that simply disappeared from his life, Beth. There was something else that symbolically tie Daryl, Beth and Leah together in that episode, a spoon.
We first saw focus on a spoon in Still when Beth picked up a spoon with the capital embossed on it with the words Washington DC.
in Alone Daryl brought attention to his use of his spoon as he ate jelly from it in the last supper scene.
The spoon on the ground along with their black backpack, jewelry and money was left behind when Beth was taken.
Daryl saw a second spoon on the floor of the cabin in FM.
I believe that Acts of God, could be the coda to Find Me for three reasons which connect Beth, Leah and Daryl together.
Both Beth and Leah shot in the head with their arms in similar positions and the connection to a spoon.
Leah's story began in the Find Me, shack and her life ended in that same shack. The beginning, the end.
Hope you guys enjoyed my ramble on FM. I had fun working on it and hopefully it sparked a few new idea's for everyone.
@galadrieljones:
I love it. The spoon near Leah’s body is such a blatant TD nod, idk even what else to think. Like a.) Who else is going to notice that? and b.) Why put it there unless it has a real purpose?
I love the idea of the spoon being like a coda sign. Theoretically a piece of music can have as many codas as it wants. I started thinking a while back that maybe we’re operating with multiple codas here and are now headed toward the final coda. The spoon showing up at Leah’s death, along with Leah’s death visually resembling Beth’s so much, makes me feel like we’re resetting again…?
I have always felt like the final coda will in some ways invert the first coda, for a couple of reasons:
1.) Because of the bizarre unsolved mysteries and open-endedness of Beth’s death, I feel the final coda will “fill in the narrative blanks” and offer new insight and expansion on the events and motifs of the original coda. This would culminate in a major thematic resolve, which is that Beth isn’t dead, because she wasn’t supposed to die. Her death screws everything up, and everything that happens after is a way of the narrative trying to retell and rework itself to get to the point where said major resolve is finally earned.
2.) Because the whole “the end is the beginning” thing. I just feel like we will somehow experience a thematic and situational “reboot.” It may be metaphysical in some way. But I feel there could be a thematic reunion of sorts that will most likely exist entirely on the level if metaphor. This may bleed into events of “reality,” but the distinction may be somewhat ambiguous.
A good example of how this has been done before is at the end of Lost when all the characters, including the dead ones, find each other in “another life” and have a major reunion. It’s not clear what level of reality this is on, but it solves a lot of unresolved tragic tension that still exists in the show before the end.
3.) Because Luke whistles the 18th variation of Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, which is played in a reverse key to the rest of the piece and is described by Rachmaninoff as the “love episode.” The entire piece is arranged upon many variations of the “Dies Irae” or Mass of the Dead, and the intention was to show that true love lies at the heart of the life cycle and is the antithesis to death. Rachmaninoff was famously fascinated by and afraid of death, so to cope with this he thought of love as the one thing that makes a mortal life worth living.
Beth’s loss is the romantic tragedy at the heart of TWD that ruins Daryl’s life and sets him on the path toward becoming the walking dead, and so her return would be a cathartic inversion of this, showing that love still prevails even when all seems lost. Hope this makes sense lol. I’ve really enjoyed all these parallels and how they really get me thinking.
Surrounding Beth’s death there is also this thing with Bob and Tyreese and the notion of fate. Everything that has happened happened “because it had to, because it was always going to.” This hints at a higher power and the question of Free Will. This notion communicates that we cannot change the past or the future, but what we have to remember is that what we see happen in Coda is incomplete, and so the idea of “whatever happened happened, you can’t change the past” is, as a notion, also incomplete. When Beth returns it would mean she and Daryl have been separated for ten years, but the idea is to “trust God,” or trust fate that there was a reason for this. It happened because it had to. It’s not just random cruelty. There is a plan at work.
@wdway:
These two comments above are just wonderful. I sooo love the second one and thinking of how everything had to happen the was it did. Daryl and Beth falling in love after being apart for 10 years and with all the hell they both had to endure is what an epic love story should be.
@galadrieljones:
Oh thank u I’m so glad it made sense. I have all these feelings about the show and how fate, free will, and destiny all work in this show. I feel like the show is so interested in like, God and whether or not God is “here” or he’s gone, etc. It really opens the door to the idea of the “hand of god” and how resurrection is so possible and really anything can happen.
@wdway:
You are on a roll my friend, that was beautiful It reminded me of how I was thinking about an old Bette Midler song the other day. God Is Watching From A Distance. I interpret the song as saying that God exists and is always present but he watches us from a distance allowing us to act with free will. I think you may like this, it's a quote (unknown) that a friend shared a few weeks ago. At the trial of God, why did you allow all this? And the answer will be an echo: Why did you allow all this?
@galadrieljones:
Yes that is so lovely and inspiring, reminding us that the pursuit of good over evil is a fight, and it contains many choices, it is not a passive state. I remember there is this fire and brimstone sermon in Fear where the priest in the episode “Sicut Cervus” talks about how these events will make many ppl question whether God has abandoned us, because how could God let this happen? The answer is not that God has left but that the Devil is here, and that we must fight him back to survive and to get back into Gods light. He then hands out weapons and the ppl prepare to storm Celia’s compound, because they believe her to be possessed, as she keeps the dead as pets. This is when they all die of the bleeding eye disease.
It really all feels connected and sometimes in strange or malleable ways that don’t make sense? Like there’s not always a formula, but it’s all “on purpose” and like I think gimple or one of the show runners said once that the whole universe of TWD is connected, like how we are all connected, etc. etc. In this the line between the living and the dead does blur somewhat. Especially in a genre show where the rules and physics of the world are not the same as ours.

THE SILENT TWINS (2022)
Starring Letitia Wright, Tamara Lawrance, Nadine Marshall, Treva Etienne, Leah Mondesir-Simmonds, Eva-Arianna Baxter, Michael Smiley, Jodhi May, Jack Bandeira, Kinga Preis, Amarah-Jae St. Aubyn, Tony Richardson, Declan Joyce, Ewa Rodart, Ian McQuillan-Grace, Martin Hugh Henley, Rita Raider, Jordan J Gallagher, Julian R. Booth and Jada La'Rue.
Screenplay by Andrea Seigel.
Directed by Agnieszka Smocynska.
Distributed by Focus Features. 113 minutes. Not Rated.
The Silent Twins makes for something of a conundrum for a viewer. It takes a look at a true story of two identical twins in Wales in the 1970s and 1980s (although in the film they are not played as identical twins, but by actresses who kind of look alike, but not really…) who were apparently quite brilliant, imaginative writers and spent much of their lives in and out of specialty schools and mental health facilities.
They were referred to as “The Silent Twins” because for the most part they refused to speak – although they certainly could speak – except for amongst themselves. They were shy, granted, but they refused to speak with their nurturing parents. They were bullied in school because of it. They were probably also bullied because they were the only black students in the school, although the film doesn’t really probe that aspect of the story very much.
Instead, they lived in a strange fantastical world of their own, one where they were chatty radio stars and lived among all sorts of odd puppets and dioramas. (These fantasy sequences look like they were inspired by the works of quirky French filmmakers like Michel Gondry or Leos Carax.)
In fact, an early scene over the opening credits where the twins, as little girls, play and chat excitedly while putting on their radio show was absolutely charming. The film could use more of this dynamic.
Instead, they were consciously, willfully antisocial – at home, in school, and most anywhere else. They had put together an odd, dysfunctional bonding of the two of them against the world, and the world was always ready to knock them down.
However, that doesn’t change the fact that these two women were indeed extremely disturbed, to the point that spending time in their company, even from the distance of the screen, was really rather unpleasant. And to be quite honest, they were often the cause of their own problems.
It’s a sad, tragic story, but it’s often hard to feel much sympathy for them.
The sisters may have loved each other, but honestly, they often don’t seem to have particularly liked each other. They often fought, were casually mean to each other, and quickly graduated over the years to fighting over boys, committing petty crimes and even arson.
They spurred each other on to bad behavior – specifically Jenny (Tamara Lawrence), the more powerful alpha of the pair, tended to push her shy and thoughtful twin June (Letitia Wright) into places where she should not be. In fact, through much of the film the audience is kind of hoping that June will break away from her twin and figure out her own life.
And for the life of me, I’m not sure how their parents – smart, caring hard-working Barbadian immigrants – put up with all the problems their girls caused.
However, yes, they did eventually become rather famous writers. (Many of the fantasy sequences are based on their writings, and most of the songs in the film are the sisters’ poetry set to music.) They obviously did have intriguing imaginations and talent. Which is probably the only reason why this story is being told.
It does not change the fact that they were both mentally ill and spending nearly two hours in their company is rather emotionally draining.

Angstober 2022 masterlist and notes
Angstober is upon us!
I’m going to try and post at least a small drabble every day (let’s see how I fare by the end of the month). All of them are going to be related to the world I created when running my latest Pathfinder campaign. As such, I fear they might be incomprehensible without prior knowledge of the world and characters, even though I’ll try my best. Very sorry if you just stumbled across them in the angstober tag and went “wtf is that”!
Without further ado - here is the list of available chapters.
Day 1: Miscommunication
Missed Opportunities
Lawrence and Odri’s love story was a series of lost chances - a story that never allowed itself to happen.
Day 2: Crack in the Mirror
Reflection
Oscar looks in the mirror, and the face he sees is his yet doesn’t belong to him
Day 3: Flashbacks
Bound Spirits
Dillon’s head is full of memories that aren’t his.
Day 4: Heat
Fever
Safe under the watchful eye of her beloved brother, Faye didn’t think falling mildly sick was that big of a deal
Day 5: Hearts of Cinder
Hearts of Cinder
In the last moments of her life, Odri burns
Day 6: Injury
Loss
What’s the point of fighting if you can’t save people dear to you?
Day 7: Never Again
Invitation

Day 8: Haunted Pet
The Corner
Elisa’s kitten is behaving strangely
Day 9: Scream
Forgotten Encounter
It was supposed to be a routine hike, nothing more
Day 10: Apathy
Monochrome
After her brother’s death, Emma’s life loses its colors
Day 11: The Wrong Tomb
Bloodied Peonies
Orion and Jacob were looking for a tomb. Well, they found one.
Day 12: Eyes
Lie, Lie, Truth
Lying comes as easily to Joel as breathing. Usually it’s a good thing.
Day 13: Worthless
Hunger
For a century, hunger had been her only companion. She’d learned to manage it, but never to forgive it.
Day 14: Ashes to Life
Ashes of the World Long Gone
Augustine wasn’t sure what to think of his day, but he knew he had touched something sad, ancient, and irreversibly lost.
Day 15: Drugged
Awakening
Margaret wakes up, suddenly not in prison. That might not be a good thing.
Day 16: Love & Hate
Tools Discarded and Broken
Margaret feels emotions far too keenly. Adrian hardly feels any at all.
Day 18: False Death
Midnight Resurrection
Elisa is about to lock up for the night, when something knocks from inside the morgue.
Day 19: Cowardice
Hand-made Miracles
Leonard was terrified of his sister dying, but that only meant he would fight tooth and nail to keep her - maybe not quite alive, but safe.
Day 21: Memories
Memories
A psychemental is a being of pure emotion, destined to observe and remember the feelings of the world around it
Day 22: Corruption
Knighthood
Oleander knew his forest was sick. But it was his forest, and Oleander wasn’t willing to leave it.
The fact that Oleander was a little owl changed nothing.
Day 23: Slay it with Flowers
Black Petals
The corruption runs deep, and the forest won’t let its saviors go unnoticed.
Day 24: Shivering
The Cold Awakening
Faye woke up alone, in a world she could no longer recognize.
Day 25: Wasteland
The Dead City
Faye’s world is broken and devoid of purpose, full of worry and empty habits
Day 26: Dark Water
Fruitless Dreams
The gods failed to save Gwilym, and Delwyn is left lost and alone
Day 27: Fragments
The Council
Lucas isn’t sure what a broken paladin can contribute to the conversation, but he’s trying his best
Day 28: Reunion
Worth the Wait, Worth the Trouble
Phoenix is always just outside Ashton’s reach, closed in and distant. Ashton loves respects him too much to push him further. Ashton loves cares for him too much to let go
Day 29: Sand Towers
Scarab of Death
Ashton didn’t like the idea of summer practice, but he could never imagine it would end up haunting his nightmares
Day 30: Failure
The Ritual
There was no room for error in what they were attempting to do. But of course, that is when things go terribly, terribly wrong.
Day 31: The Last Goodbye
The Sacrifice
The choice wasn’t easy, but it was the only Kat could make. If she had to go, she’d do it with Molly by her side, doing something she believed was right
