Sleepy Hollow au where Alex is a brujo but doesn't quite know it (or admit to himself) and his family moves to New England for his parents' work. He's not thrilled since he's going from a very mixed race society (Mexico still owns Texas) to a very conservative one.
At least, he thinks it's conservative, but then he thinks they're bat shit crazy due to their superstitions.
Autumn descends, and t night, wolves sing loudly in the woods. Then it's not just the wolves, but the dogs in the village. Alex hears a horseman riding down the streets and over the nearby bridge. He's used to a noisy neighborhood, but this is something else. The whole town swears they don't hear anything, but they outright threaten him to stay inside at night. Shudder the windows and blow out any flames.
It's Alex, so he doesn't. The horseman comes around like clockwork, probably a delivery person of some kind, bringing the papers from New York or Philadelphia, or doing the late night work of some other business. Goodness knows the silversmith stays up at all hours, so he's probably the one paying the obnoxious rider...
Alex sees the dog first. A smallish hound that sees him right back. It bays up at the moon, and through the shadows, a large horse's silhouette joins the dog's. Alex knows a male rider when he sees one, but the headless horseman legend might not be a legend after all.
The rider and dog run off, but Alex finds them night after night. He even manages to get way too close and learns that the dog is dead - cloudy blue eyes, half its jaw missing, and somehow still walking and running with a compound fracture sticking out of its legs.
It's when the horseman lifts the dog to carry it that Alex sees the glint of a ring on his pinkie.
Another night, push comes to shove, and Alex wrestles that ring off the zombie's hand and flees. All he has to go on is a gold signet ring, the curvaceous H stamped on it, and the almost worn away engraving inside:
act ii, sc iii XXXVI - XLIX
He has no idea what it means. He's assume it's a Bible verse except his sister has been making trips to the nearby cities to see the plays. She collects the scripts and tells him it's a citation from a play. But which one?
Alex runs out of time trying to figure it out, because the next night, an incessant knocking rattles the house door in its frame before being knocked down entirely.
To both Alex's and June's surprise, the horseman holds out his hand. Alex sets the ring on his dead palm, and he...leaves. For having no brain, the body is oddly sentient.
"Did you see his clothes?" June asks.
"What? No, I'm busy looking for his eyes."
"It's a stage costume. He's wearing a stage costume. It's too colorful."
Long story short, June and Alex search through records to find an actor who died with an H last name. Instead they find Arthur, an actor with a son named Henry. They died in the same week.
"Which one is it?"
"Henry. It must be Henry," June insisted.
"A father would wear his son's ring," Alex reasoned. "He's looking for something every night."
Either way, Alex must find out how they died, and why one of them is riding. The real question, is who is the horseman searching for every night? The search is getting more and more invasive. The townspeople aren't able to turn a blind eye anymore, and things are getting violent.
And yet, the horseman never harms Alex.

Henry is confused, a tiny bit disgusted but mostly saddened by the fowl smelling purple zombie who keeps on smoking indoors. To see someone you practically raised turn out like Michael is saddening. Seeing Michael in such a state helps Henry reason that burning Michael alive is fine (Wouldn't it be more of an injustice to leave Michael in such a miserable and self-loathing state? (Henry's internal monologue trying to justify himself)

Okay! So, I was rewatching whole "The Henry Stickmin Collection" recently and I really miss that fandom. I remember having fun drawing these stickguys adventures! And as long as I don't lose interest in this theme (I'll try to keep my attention on this game) I'll be making some doodles and maybe little short comics about original characters from the game and my own stickguys!
I really really miss that game, so it's time to do some fun with it! I hope you'll enjoy it with me :D
Little doodles of me from my pfp! I just didn't want to end this post empty like dat hehe

The Rescue - Chp 53 - Still Dealing With The Sting
Good morning my lovelies and lurkers <3
The newest chapter of The Rescue is now live! Christmas and the Holiday season being what it is, I haven't had a ton of time (though, mostly energy has been the problem) to write, but I should still have something to go up in two weeks for you all :)
I hope you all have a lovely day and wonderful weekend! If I can get my ass up on time I'm thinking I'll catch The Boy and The Heron today as a step in helping me wind down a little. Honestly really excited to see it.
Enjoy the reading! Thank you all, as always, so much for the comments and kudos and shares <3 I apologize I haven't been able to respond to all the comments like I want to. My brain is deep in scrambled-egg territory.
Love you all, take care of yourselves and each other as best as you can!
~ Belle

Henry: "Sleep powder isn't supposed to last this long." Oddy: "He could be extra extra extra extra sleepy tired." Altrii: "This forest is very lively . Dangers are known quick. Fights, fleeing, hiding. If he caused any problems I'd know." Altrii: "... Although... you bring up a point. Maybe he's the one who is hiding...fleeing... From what, I don't know? He's not good at hiding. What do you think?" @lambda-asks

FirstPrince x Sleepy Hollow!AU (because I think I deleted my original post of this lol)
June and Alex move with their parents to New England from Texas and it's a lot of culture shock. Texas is a feisty place (The Legend of Sleepy Hollow was published in 1821, the same year Mexico's War for Independence pushed out Spain, and the Republic of Texas started in 1836, so this is the history window we're working with), and it's simply safer for them to live elsewhere until things settle down.
Turns out, New England is just as dangerous, but where Texas was all sunlight, heat, war and music and vivacity, their new home is cold, overcast most days, and quiet. Quiet in the day, at least. After spending the day with bland food, never feeling warm enough, and aching for sunlight, the nighttime surprises Alex with its noise.
The birds are more active in the evening than the dawn.
Wind chimes and little bells outside of their neighbors' doors blow in the moon's breeze.
A horseman rides loudly every night.
Every night.
Alex likes horses. He's half-Mexican and knows "horse talk" better than anybody on this coast. Did English colonists bring their weather with them? Along with their ridiculous - not to mention hypocritical - prejudices? One night, Alex is fed up with all of them. He's tired of the food, the weather, the people, and when those hoof beats start up a heartbeat rhythm over the road on his way home, he's real tired of the horseman.
He arrives at a covered bridge and hesitates, expecting the horse to go galloping by. Meeting only silence, he strolls into the tunnel of the bridge and...sees a dog. In the light of the other end of the bridge, he recognizes the silhouette of a small hunting dog. The dog heard him and turned its head -
Alex's footsteps recoiled a couple paces. The dog's flesh on half its face was gone. Rotted away.
Behind the hound, a large horse stepped into view. It must have been at least sixteen hands high. In a similar state of decay, one of its eyes was gone and the other glowed a milky blue-white. But Alex's attention went up to its rider, who lacked a head.

i wish tlou hbo had at least three more episodes to develop the bond between joel & ellie i truly think they did a mediocre job adapting their relationship. also there should have been more infected people in the show bc it reduced the importance of the hypothetical vaccine to the show viewers i know who have not played the game
