Y’all 👀
The boots have been ordered!
Hot Topic finally got them back in stock, and you already know this bitch got them.
For anyone curious, they were like $137 and some odd change, after tax! But look how cute they are!

Early October had arrived, and Kinoko is on a quest for the perfect Halloween costume. His trusty starsprites, while not particularly inclined toward holiday festivities, are willing to join in the spooky fun.

[GP!Karina x F!Reader]
You could hear the steady pounding of bass from outside of the large brownstone apartment complex. There was no need to double check to make sure you had the right address— the music and shadows of partygoers in the fourth story windows confirmed you had arrived. 
You hesitated for a moment, but then your roommate Ryujin tugged at your arm and you followed her up to the door. She hit the buzzer so you two could be let in, finally out of the cold, late autumn air. 
As the two of you bounded up the steps, your nerves got the best of you. 
“Ryujin, promise me you won’t abandon me in there?” you asked.
Your short-haired friend laughed. “Of course not,” she said, turning to smile reassuringly at you. “Don’t worry too much, you’ve actually met some of the people here! And I’ll introduce you to anyone you don’t know.”
Ryujin was right— once inside, you realized you did recognize a few faces. Her closest friends Lia, Yeji, Yuna and Chaeryeong were already there. 
You couldn’t help but giggle at Lia’s costume. She was a big, bright red strawberry. She looked absolutely adorable, even when she accidentally bumped into people and walls. The rest were dressed as matching skeletons. 
The two of you made your way over to the group, and before either one of you could ask, Chaeryeong sighed. “We tried to get Lia to go in on the skeleton costumes with us,” she said, “but she insisted on being a goofy, oversized strawberry.” 
Lia rolled her eyes. She tried to cross her arms, but the costume was too bulky and she couldn’t. It only made her look cuter. 
“Hey! I didn’t know the costume was going to be this big! Can we drop it already?”
The rest of the group broke out into conversation, but you couldn’t really focus on it, distracted by the sights of the party. 
You’d forgotten to ask whose apartment this even was, but whoever was renting it, it looked stunning. The large space, complete with crown moulding, rounded arch hallways and exposed brick walls, was perfectly decorated for Halloween. Orange and purple string lights lined the perimeter of the ceiling, fake cobwebs were meticulously placed along the corners of windows, and there were jack-o-lanterns, real ones with tiny candles inside illuminating them, on the living room coffee table along with fake skull caps full of candy. Tall, skinny black candles lined bookshelves, a string of black paper bats shared wall space with fake, bloody claw marks running along them. 
Lia bumped into you suddenly, bringing you back to earth. 
“Sorry!” she said to you and the other girl she’d accidentally collided with. 
You glanced over to see the other girl pat Lia’s costume reassuringly. She was dressed as a vampire. Not the Nosferatu kind, though. You felt a wave of warmth rush over you. She was hot, stupidly hot, as was her costume. 
Your eyes wandered slowly over her deep red sequined corset and its revealingly low sweetheart neckline. A pair of black booty shorts covered hardly anything other than her ass, but the simple black cloak she wore over her corset helped a little. A pair of fishnets and knee high, lace up platform boots completed the look. The ends of her hair were dyed a similar deep red color, and her long acrylics were stunning– black coffin shaped nails for the occasion.
The vampire’s eyes only registered Lia for a fraction of a second. The next moment, they were on you. 
You swallowed hard, quickly looking back up to meet her eye. Her gaze was intense, and so was the brief onceover she gave you before she finally turned around and walked back to her friend group without saying a word. 
By the time you recovered from the vampire, the conversation happening around you had already picked back up. 
“I’ll be right back,” you said to Ryujin, excusing yourself. 
You made your way down the hall into the kitchen. Some of the drink options were Halloween themed, like the cauldrons full of spiked spider cider and dark purple witches brew punch, swirling with edible silver glitter. A few handles of hard liquor and mixers, as well as beer were available, but you weren’t really in the mood to taste your alcohol.
After pouring yourself a cup full of the witches brew punch, you paused for a moment to glance around at the rest of the people at the party. 
The attendees had gone all out in their costumes, too. Ryujin had warned you beforehand that anyone who wasn’t in costume wouldn’t be let in, so as much as you didn’t care for dressing up, you had to admit, the costume rule made for an even better party. You hoped some of the more impressive costumes would distract from your own. You’d felt confident in it before you left, but now felt exposed.
It was Ryujin who suggested you go as an angel when you fretted about finding a costume. “Keep it simple,” she had said. “It’s just one color.” 
“I don’t know,” you had said once you tried on the pieces she’d found for you. “This feels damn near like, genuinely sacrilegious.” 
The halo headband was cute. It was the rest of your costume that definitely wouldn’t be allowed in any real church: white thigh high stockings with chunky white heels, white satin shorts, a matching satin halter top with a white mesh bell sleeve shrug over it, and a small pair of angel wings. Those were white too, of course. 
Later, Ryujin, keeping her word, introduced you to a few of her other friends. All of them were pretty to begin with, but the fact that their costumes were a little tighter against their bodies made you unsure of where to look as you shyly said hi to a Wednesday Addams who went by Winter, a workout Barbie who introduced herself as NingNing, and a Spider-Girl named Giselle. 
You had seen a fourth girl with them earlier, that incredibly hot vampire, actually, but now she was nowhere to be seen. Ugh. You craned your neck to look for her, hoping to be introduced, but you couldn’t find her. 
Just as you and Ryujin had said bye to the other girls and turned around, you spotted her out of the corner of your eye, rejoining her friends. Damn.
You almost asked Ryujin to go back and introduce you. The punch was stronger than you thought it’d be, and you were beyond buzzed now, feeling a little more confident and sociable. You were watching the vampire flip her long, dark hair over one shoulder when Ryujin interrupted you.
“Hey, where did you get that punch?” Ryujin asked, flipping up her pirate’s eye patch for a moment to get a better look at it. “I gotta get rid of this shitty beer.” 
“I can go get you some,” you said. “I need a refill anyway.” 
In the kitchen, your back was turned to the rest of the party while you scooped up ladlefuls of punch for you and Ryujin. Suddenly you heard a voice behind you. 
“How’d an angel like you wind up in such a sinful party?” 
You were about to scoff at whoever had just spoken to you when you paused– it wasn’t a man’s voice. You were used to cocky, suggestive comments from men, but the voice that had just addressed you was feminine.
You turned around to see the girl you’d been glancing at all night long– the hot vampire. 
“Wh-what?” Shit. You forgot to think about what you were going to say before turning around. 
The vampire smirked, merely raising an eyebrow in response to your question. “Do I… know you?” she asked. 
You shook your head. “I’m Ryujin’s roommate. I’m Y/N.” 
“Nice to meet you,” the girl replied. “I’m Karina.”
“Karina,” you repeated with a little nod. “Nice to meet you, too. I like your costume,” you said. 
The vampire’s smirk grew bigger. “I know you do,” she said. “Unless that wasn’t you leering at me earlier tonight?” 
You blushed, eyes widening. “Oh, I- I’m sorry–”
Karina moved in, pressing herself against you lightly as she took your drink out of your hand and set it down on the countertop next to Ryujin’s. “It’s okay,” she said, taking your hand. “Can’t seem to keep my eyes off you, either.” 
The next thing you knew, you were being pushed up against the bathroom sink with Karina’s lips kissing a trail down the back of your neck. Ryujin and the rest of the party had completely faded from your brain. You were soaked now, clit throbbing in anticipation. 
The vampire looked up at you for a moment, making eye contact with you in the mirror before pulling your shorts and underwear down in one fell swoop. Your wings were the next to go, and she took a moment to admire you before continuing on. 
Karina palmed your ass with one hand while she used her other to slide her shorts down, freeing her hardening cock. 
She held your waist steady as she slipped it between your legs, rubbing her cock against your wet folds. 
“A condom..?” she breathed, reaching up past you toward the medicine cabinet behind the large bathroom mirror. 
“I-I’m on the pill,” you replied a little too eagerly. Karina let out an amused huff. 
“Well then,” she said, bending you over farther, “be a good little lamb for me.”
The pet name and the sensation of her sliding into you made your legs nearly give out. She let you take a few moments to adjust to her. You hadn’t even gotten a good look at her cock but the way you pulsed around her let you know she was plenty big. 
The vampire let out a soft moan. 
“That’s it, there you go,” she cooed in your ear as she slid deeper inside you. You whimpered and she rewarded you with a kiss against your neck. 
You felt every bit as good around her cock as she thought you would. Karina closed her eyes, lost for a moment in the pleasure she felt being sheathed inside your warm, wet pussy. 
When you could finally let her move inside you, she started gently, her hands gripping your waist to support you. You were absolutely soaked, and the sounds of her thrusting became even more lewd as your wetness added to them. 
“Fuck,” she groaned. The vampire picked up her pace and it left you nearly breathless, unable to do anything but take her pounding and let out small, humiliating repetitive cries with each stroke. 
Your added slick allowed her to fuck you at an even faster pace. She leaned down over you, making you bend over further for her. At this new angle, you fell apart while she split you open. 
Gone were your soft cries, replaced with more raw, desperate moans. She felt so good inside of you; it had been ages since you felt this full and sated. 
Karina laughed as your cries grew louder. “Does it feel that good, angel? So good you want everyone to know how much you like being fucked right now?”
You could only moan in response, too focused on keeping the vampire inside of you to worry about the rest of your surroundings. You arched your back as much as you could, trying to entice her more. 
It worked. “Jesus,” Karina murmured. “You look just as good as you feel…” her eyes closed for a moment, losing her pace. When she resumed though, you knew you were really in for it. 
Karina’s thrusts became harsher, deeper, but also sloppier. She panted in your ear; her breath on your neck made you shiver. 
“Gonna cum,” she grunted. “You feel too fucking good.”
“I-In me,” you pleaded, knowing you must’ve looked as desperate as you sounded. “You can cum in me.”
Karina looked up at your reflection, catching your eye in the mirror. “Yeah?” she asked. You gulped. Her eyes were wild with desire. You nodded, and when she grinned in response, it sent an excited chill down your spine. 
The vampire took off again, plowing into you at a brutal, desperate pace that thrilled you. 
“Fuck, oh fuck,” she cursed, and then her hips slammed against you the hardest they ever had. You gasped when you felt it— Karina spilling her load in you. She continued to fuck into you as she came, bringing you closer to reaching your own release. 
Hearing your pants and whines get breathier, Karina snaked one hand around in front of you to tease your clit. 
You cried out, eyes squeezing shut as her fingers and your body fumbled for a few moments, both of you trying to find just the right angle that would— 
“Right there,” you rasped, your cunt clenching around her cock. “I’m gonna cum,” you cried, head tilting back a bit. 
Karina tsked in response. While one hand continued to circle your soaked clit, she used her other to yank your hair, making you tilt your head back up to look at the two of you in the mirror. Her thrusting hips held you in place. 
“Look at me when you cum,” she murmured, and you fought to hold her gaze. The moment you locked eyes with her, it sent you over the edge and you came around her. 
A satisfied smile crossed her lips, and then she released her hold on you. 
Catching your breath, the two of you stayed still for a minute until she could finally pull out. 
Some of her load spilled out of you, splattering beneath you on the bathroom’s tiled floor. 
You were slightly disappointed you couldn’t keep her full load in you, but Karina watched with great satisfaction. She gave your ass an appreciative slap, then squeezed your cheek in her hand.
The air was thick with more sexual tension as the two of you began to clean yourselves and the rest of the space up. The vampire helped you back into your costume, making sure your clothing was still in pristine condition. 
You tried not to look, but couldn’t help yourself from sneaking a glance at Karina while she tucked her softening cock back into her shorts. 
“Are you ready?” the vampire’s voice made you look up quickly.
“Yeah,” you said, not moving. Your nerves had returned. The music from the party outside was still just as loud, as were the conversations and laughter of partygoers, but you were anxious to see who was on the other side of the door– who, and how many, had heard you. 
“Hey, relax,” Karina said, sensing your mood shift. “It’s my party, no one’s going to say anything.”
You looked up at her curiously. “Wait— so you live here?” 
Karina unlocked the bathroom door and opened it. She led you out quickly. 
“Yeah,” she said casually, keeping your attention on her and away from some of the people nearby who definitely knew what had just happened between the two of you in there. “It’s a four bedroom. Ryujin didn’t tell you?” 
“N-no,” you stammered. You were going to say more but she was already leading you back to the main party space. Her warm hand held yours securely, but not tightly, as you weaved through the blur of people. 
She dropped your hand shortly after. You looked down, wondering why, when a familiar voice called out. 
“YN!” Ryujin said, approaching the two of you. “There you are!” Your roommate beamed at you, clearly having forgotten about the drink she asked you to get her. Instead, she held two tiny shot glasses in each hand. “Yeji and I were about to do some shots. I see you’ve met Karina.” 
You blushed. “Uh, yeah,” was all you could manage. 
“You didn’t tell me your roommate was so pretty, Ryujin,” the vampire said, stepping away. “I’m glad you came.” She winked at you, making your blush deepen. “See you around, angel.”

Good Enough
100-Word Drabbles for Arthur and Ginny Weasley
Tumblr media
Fifteen drabbles written for @thethreebroomsticksfic Weasley Week, Oct 16th: Arthur Weasley. Read below or on AO3.
i.
“You’re joking.”
Molly chews back her smile, shakes her head coyly. The house isn’t quiet, per say, but in a rare stroke of luck the twins and Ronnie’s naps have aligned.
And he’s wedged around the bathroom sink with his wife, giggling like children over a potion that’s just changed color.
“A girl…”
The day she’s born, Fabian is there. Peers over the bassinet for so long, Arthur wonders if he too is counting ten perfect pink toes.
“Shit,” he says to Arthur over a cigar that night, after talking war, “this world will never be good enough for her.”
ii.
It’s his turn tonight, when they hear little feet across the kitchen floor. He’s not surprised it’s her, face still blotchy, hair sticking up everywhere from this afternoon’s tantrum that left her knackered.
She whips around in the pantry doorway, eyes like saucers. “I’m hungry.”
After leftover stew from her yellow paisley bowl, he lays in bed with her. Grants her request for a story on the condition she doesn’t suck her thumb.
“Once upon a time, there was a witch named Ginny who lived in a deep, dark wood…”
“No, Daddy,” she whispers, eyes nearly closed. “I’m a dragon.”
iii.
Molly tells him she cried the whole way home from King’s Cross. By early afternoon, he can still tell— the aftershocks seem to surprise her, those gasping little breaths. 
“You know the best part of being the last one left,” he divulges over homemade strawberry ice cream that has yet to do the trick, “is that no one’s here to fight you for your pick of broomstick.”
The rest of her bowl melts on the porch swing. She’s out until it gets dark in the orchard, comes in for supper with leaves in her hair and the biggest jack-o-lantern grin. 
iv.
The day they bring her back home, he carries her trunk upstairs and sits beside her on the bed. Apologizes for ever blaming her, even for a second. 
She counters by saying something lifeless and self-loathing and broken. Eleven-year-old fingers pick at bruised nail beds— tiny, perfect hands. He still can’t fathom it.
That night, Molly brings her dinner and doesn’t come back down. When he heads up to bed, he sees they’ve clearly emptied all her shelves, stacked every novel and journal and textbook outside her door where they can’t hurt her. 
He’s never been angrier in his life.
v.
Since this morning, he’s meant to tell her he’s sorry— sorry they couldn’t offer her anything better on her birthday than this condemnable house-turned-war room. Sorry for the second-hand leather satchel wrapped in faded Christmas paper, even though she wanted a broom; sorry everyone’s thoughts are on tomorrow’s hearing.
After dinner he finally says it, out of Molly’s earshot. Sitting on the stairs leading from the kitchen, plates of fudgy cake in hand. 
“Don’t apologize.” She’s still smiling huge, bumps his shoulder. The Flatulence Fez the twins crowned her with slips down over one eye. “I really love the bag.”
vi.
It should’ve been the day that made them proudest as parents, marrying off their firstborn. It wasn’t. 
This morning, they boxed up centerpieces and charger plates in the shed, repaired all the furniture, met with the Order. His ears still ring. The house is eerie without those three. 
He finds them in her room. His wife is clutching their daughter as she sobs harder than he’s ever seen, inconsolable, wracking herself hoarse. He feels it like a sword to the chest.
In bed later, Molly shakes her head with that look he earns sometimes when he’s being thick. “She’s heartbroken.”
vii.
Friday before Easter, he changes from work robes into something Muggle and tweed and itchy. Platform 9¾ is packed with people avoiding eye contact, and the Express is late. It was late in December, too— arrived without Luna. He waits, terror tightening his throat.
He’s numb with relief when he sees her, one of the only kids lugging a trunk like he advised. She’s swimming in a jumper he’s sure is Ron’s, and that twinges a bit. There’s something different, he notices, walking to the entrance. Colder. Quiet. He doesn’t ask… can’t quite bear to.
Four days later, they flee.
viii.
She’s fighting him. Kicking, clawing.
He holds on with everything he has, arms clasped around her chest, and it’s like he can feel her breaking inside. But if he lets go, he’ll lose her, too. Like Fred. 
Like the body they’re all staring at, lifeless at Hagrid’s feet.
Weeks later, when the Boy Who Lived finds him in the shed one night, hedging, guiltier than anyone he’s ever seen, he already knows. For a moment he considers letting the kid squirm, like the father ought to do.
But then he remembers her first year, and wordlessly hands over a screwdriver. 
ix.
“One more,” she tells their waitress, pointing at a coaster she’s put in the middle. “For my sixth brother.”
The table falls quiet. But then George chuckles and they all take his cue, except Molly.
Snow collects on the windows as the bangers and pies and chips are served. She laments early-morning practices to them all, pretends she’s already bored of all the travel.
“Knock it off,” Charlie snickers, grinning. “Rookies can’t complain. We know you’re having a blast.”
At the end of the night she beats everyone to the bar, pays their tab. Arthur suspects it’s her whole paycheck.
x.
“I definitely saw you cry,” she accuses. She’s graceful even in smugness, grinning something wicked over her lipstick-stained champagne flute.
He pretends to grumble, but he knows she knows. “Hard not to, with the bloody groom getting all choked up.”
The band calls them up soon after, and he pulls her close. “It’s okay,” she murmurs as her face starts to blur again, inches away. “Just admit you’ve gone soft, Dad. I won’t tell.” He tugs on her hand to spin her, chuckling.
They cut cake, and Harry whispers something that makes her laugh, and she lights up the room.
xi.
Predictably, the stadium loses it when she flies out with a new surname on her kit. Ron rolls his eyes as she lands on the pitch with a bit of swagger.
She flies well today, but he reckons she could miss every shot and the commentators would still talk of nothing else. In the stands, Harry laughs when Arthur leans over to ask how it feels to play second fiddle. 
“I’ll never be good enough for her,” he snorts over the rim of his pint. “But I’m sure you knew that.”
She scores twelve goals, and the Harpies clinch playoffs.
xii.
“I’d kill for a drink about now,” she mutters, leaning against the railing. He knows better than to say she probably shouldn’t be out here, either— the venue’s porch, serving as refuge for men who normally never smoke.
He takes a long drag as they watch her boys toddle after their dad on the lawn. “Nearly there, sweetheart.” Treading lightly with his words, lest he incur any of what Muriel’s other well-intended mourners did with their attempts at small talk (“Like a fucking whale, thanks for asking”).
“Hey,” she smirks, “maybe you and Mum can buy a beach cottage now.”
xiii.
The mug Molly poured when they arrived is tepid now, sitting on the table. Shadows lengthen like ghosts beneath his daughter’s eyes; he suspects they’re five days old.
The kids are all asleep, Molly updates them.
Her jaw tightens. At her temple, he notices a couple of gray strands. “I can’t—” she whispers. Squeezes her eyes shut; nothing else comes out. “They need their dad. I’m not good enough on my own.”
“He’ll come home safe, darling. Always does.” And he makes her promise to never say that again. 
He takes both of her hands in his, and they’re cold.
xiv.
They’re celebrating Ted and Vic beneath a canopy of fairy lights. Bill’s weepy toast prompts Fleur to frisk his brothers till she finds George’s flask.
She never realizes Ginny’s stowing the bottle. 
His children outlast their kids and spouses. It’s one of those nights he can’t let himself miss, tired as he is. 
His daughter points a wobbly finger. “Lils has a boyfriend, by the way. Doesn’t think we know. Harry’s going spare.”
He chuckles. “Now he gets it. Imagine trying to justify hating the Chosen One.”
She laughs, nearly tips her chair. “You should tell him that. Might help.”
xv.
It comes in waves. Feels like a lifetime has passed since yesterday; another before that. Molly— bless her— tried to prepare him for it. Tried to comfort him. Imagine.
It feels too big now, their little house on the beach. Perfect for two lives, cavernous with just one. 
She finds him in the garden before sunset. Small, warm hands enclose his. 
“Look, Dad.” 
It’s a delicate, fluttering thing with blue wings, bobbing on the wind. Molly’s favorite. 
“She’s found us again.”
He smiles and tucks a silver lock behind her ear, meeting her gaze— precisely the same shade of brown.

Been following you since the Evil Supply Co days, was very pleased to place my first order from Netherworld Post recently! I love the "hope this fireball finds you failing to save" design so much! A few people in my d&d group are definitely getting that one.
I hope you have an awesome day and something nice happens to you!
I am incredibly honored that so many folks have been following since Evil Supply Co.
It was nearly four years to do the day from when I first emailed friends "What do you think of this business name change?" to flipping the switch to launch.
One thing that hasn't made it through the transition
(I emphasize)
...yet...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
...is the stories.
I used to write 3 - 6 very short stories a week. Sometimes a few paragraphs, sometimes longer. Most got posted here -- started here, on Tumblr!
The structures needed work, more connectivity. The genre, the characters and locations, the softness? All remain. But the structures needed work.
This will take time.
Not four years of time (length of shop closure to rebuild).
But they will come back.
I'm rambling. I'm a bit nervous over how all of this is operating. The nerves are not based in evidence -- the roll out has been smooth, the response bigger than expected. Just personality quirk, I suppose.
Back to sense-making.
I'm grateful you're here and that I am able to do all of this.
Phase One (where we are now) is to launch the shop and get the initial orders out the door. The presses are pressing ink to paper, first batch of orders goes out late next week. Continues onwards at a steady pace forever.
Phase Two (rest of the year) will be slowly adding more. Both to the shop for pay and the downloads "pay if you want."
Phase Three (next year, probably) is when I think we'll have stories again. It won't take that long to launch them -- launch will be part of Phase Two -- but I think it'll be next year until I'm at a steady pace.
Tumblr media
I'm rambling again. I'll cut this to the end.
The primary availability of stories for Evil Supply Co. was free via social media posts.
I want to keep that availability. I don't trust social media to maintain its presence as it stands in the next several years (I'm looking at 3, 5, 10, 15 years forward).
The zero-cost-to-read prohibited basic structures such as "hm I like Strawberry, this mermaid, I wish to read more about her wacky antics." There simply wasn't funding to build out any of the million ways to do that.
Part of Phase Three is solving that, finding the balance. There are a million options, with strengths and drawbacks and costs. I'll have a better answer for it as the year progresses.
As I say, I am wary of social media (all platforms) direction -- they will continue to exist, I'll continue to use them to their fullest advantage, but they are growing increasingly hostile to independent creators. I don't work for Tumblr, Tumblr doesn't owe me continued access to audiences at the current pace.
Ultimately, I work for the moon and you come to the Post for the things you're interested in -- neither of us work for a social media platform -- and I'm keeping that tightly in mind to ensure I can continue to service your desires + build new things you'll love but didn't know existed yet.
Thank you for being here.
The something nice you hoped for came true in two ways.
Your note and an afternoon pulling together notes on how to independently publish myths and legends and stories and rambles about the Netherworld.
The scale of this equation is...
...significant.
Fortunately. So is my willingness to tackle it. :)
Cheers to you and thank you again for being here.
Long may we sip potions, in the moonlight, while sitting on our folded cloaks, listening to ghosts, telling stories of dryads and mermaids and witches and more, as the jack-o-lanterns surrounding us wile away the hours with their flickering tongues of flame and smoke.

Day-08
! Pumpkin Carving With Eri And Shinsou !
🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
scenario:- a day of pumpkin carving with eri and shinsou !
pairing:- Hitoshi shinsou x gn!reader, eri x reader x shinsou x dadzawa (platonic)
👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻
it was almost halloween and you and shinsou just found out eri had never carved a pumpkin before!
You could NOT let her go another halloween without carrying out this tradition!
so you got a pumpkin from the paatch nearby and set everything up
shinsou closed eri's eyes from behind and walked her into the garden
she was prepared for her surprise!
when he pulled back his hands for her to see the entire station you'd set up (complete with some candy and cookies and juice and water in case yall got hungry)
she was so happy!
she had no idea what you were gonna do so the two of you explained it to her.
her eyes went wide and she smiled the widest smile you'd ever seen and Both your hearts almost meltedd
first you scooped out each of your pumpkins' guts(shinsou did eris too)
next you googled some designs.
eri chose a cat pattern and shinsou made a skull witha smaller pumpkin inside like a brain
you went for a classic ol jack o' lantern
after you had traced out the templated onto the pumpkins,the cutting began
you let eri try a little before you and shinsou alternated between helping her while you carved your own pumpkins
half way through you decided to put on some music and picked a halloween playlist from spotify
the moment 'spooky scary skeletons' started playing,shinsou took your hand and you started to dance around the lawn
he spun you around and at one point you tripped and landed on the grass laughing out loud.
eri who was a witness to all of this started to laugh too and it once again warmed your hearts to see her so happy
just as you were getting up off the grass,monster mash started playing and you carried eri on over to dance with her
shinsou went back to the station and watched with a smile on his face as you and the little girl had the time of your lives.
but after the song ended you got back to work and one snack/dance break later you were done!
you got some floating candles and lit them before promptly placing them inside.
you carried the pumpkins inside after cleaning them and the station up a bit and placed it outside ur room doors
eri ran to show mr aizawa her jack o lantern and you stood there and watched as she babbled on about how much fun she'd had
shinsou leaned his head on yours and exhaled.hed been scared shed get hurt the whole time
but now everything was done and he was happy you'd had the idea to do this.
after you had fully cleaned up you walked into the kitchen to see mr aizawa making himself a cup of coffee
he turned to the two of you and thanked you for giving eri a good time
"it was all y/n's idea aizawa sensei" said shinsou as he placed his arm aroun ur shoulders before pressing a kiss to your cheek.
"hmmm either way thank you.she really did enjoy herself"
with that he walked out of the kitchen and looked back to the two of you

On Quake Halloween Jam 3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I remember really liking Quake Halloween Jam 2. But with the way things in my life have been since Jam 2, plus my general forgetfulness, it did not even occur to me that there may have been a Quake Halloween Jam 3 or even a 4.
So I've spent a few hours tonight trying to cure a bad mood with a little catharsis via Halloween Jam 3. It works, too. I first figured it out over a decade ago -- I was fooling around in a Garry's Mod zombie slaughter map, just zoning out while I busted props and blew stuff up. When I was done, I realized the grouchy mood I'd been suffering for most of that day was gone and I felt a lot better. It sounds weird, but sometimes you just have pent up anger for whatever reason and video games can be a healthy outlet.
Back to the Halloween Jam, I really enjoyed Jam 2 because it was just a lot of pretty decent Quake maps, but set in places like... a spooky farm during harvest season.
Tumblr media
Or a village sieged by neon green acid underneath a purple sky, two of Halloween's signature colors.
Tumblr media
Or even a map set inside and around a gigantic jack-o-lantern.
Tumblr media
Jam 3's maps are kind of just... regular Quake maps, to some degree. I guess they're sometimes a little darker than usual, but after playing over half of them, there aren't very many that evoke the feeling of Halloween specifically. That's not entirely the Jam's fault, I guess. Until Doom 3, I'd say Quake 1 was the game that felt like it bore the most of iD's horror sensibilities -- its mixture of gothic, sci-fi and cosmic horror gave it a very strange tone, which lends itself very well to spooky maps.
Ironically, one of the very first maps I picked in the Jam was something called "Hall-o-Win" which both demonstrates my point and also acts as maximum catharsis: it's mostly just a series of very long hallways with power-ups at the end and a lot of monsters along the way. A slaughter map in other words, though it does gradually start asking you for more strategy than "blast everything and never stop moving."
youtube
But a theme in a lot of these maps is less Halloween and more just, like, complex mazes. It's probably the pressure of a deadline talking, but a lot of these maps seem to orbit around a single central room that must be scaled, solved, and traversed. Take "Blackvenom Retreat," the greenish map seen at the top of the post. Most of the map is in one central lake area, with three big cubist structures sitting above the water. It plays out like climbing a construction site, as you go up ladders and leap between buildings in search of crystals to power whatever this thing does.
Or "Abbeytoir", a candle lit mansion that feels more like it fell out of Wrath: Aeon of Ruin with its endless hallways and side rooms that all confusingly loop back in on each other. It's not a very big map, but combined with how dark it is, how similar a lot of the rooms look, and how everything has at least 3-5 exits, as I opened up most of the doors near the end of the map I completely lost my ability to navigate when everything blurred into endless stairs, hallways, and switches.
And then there's "Us," a conceptually haunting map where the map creator's body has been disassembled and scattered amongst Quake's brushes. A texture for his head and hair unwrap along the skyline, you'll find nipples you can push like buttons, and floating eyes that watch your every step. "Strange" is putting it mildly, but it too is mainly one big room where the puzzle is to climb up ramps and platforms in order to reach the exit.
But there is one map I unexpectedly fell in love with -- "Approach of the Second Sun." This map is good enough it practically feels like it's own whole separate game.
youtube
The story is that a second, dark sun is approaching our reality, casting its curse on the land. This provides the map with its unique visual style, where the fog is used to invert the light. Effectively, the closer something is to you, the darker it gets. As objects get further away, they fade into the white fog, making for a game of low visibility and eerie silhouettes. The map uses this in its favor, as you spend most of it navigating a ritual site littered with statues, with the twist being that not everything you encounter is actually a statue.
There are tells, of course. Living monsters have subtle idle animations, so if you pay attention closely, you can pick out what's inanimate and what's alive. But the map also knows this, and plays with that expectation sometimes, bringing certain statues to life when you least expect it. It makes you jumpy and paranoid every time you turn a corner and see the outline of a monster and wait for a worst case scenario that doesn't always happen. It's masterclass stuff, and the map is big enough that it took me almost an hour to ultimately solve (like a lot of the other maps, it is a little easy to get lost).
I've got a few more maps left in Jam 3, and then I've got all of Jam 4 to look forward to. Hopefully there's something a little more seasonally flavorful waiting me.

Hello, I am a newbie to this riddle world and so fascinated - what is the history of this account? How do these secret helpers know to come here? I understand if you can't answer this openly, but I thought I'd ask just in case you can. So exciting to read back on what's happened so far. Thanks.
Hi!!! 👋 Welcome to our corner of the internet.
I am just a long time fan since the start of the 1989 era. I have been on tumblr for a long time after falling down the Kaylor rabbit hole 🐇🕳. The secret helpers come to this blog I presume due to my consistency (I am on here often and have been here through most of their story). So they seem to trust that I will share their messages. They send me codes so I know it is them and a troll cannot interfere.
Spade ♠️ was the first big secret helper we had. They visited the TayTaysBeard blog (often referred to as TTB). That blog had a huge following, but was deleted by Tumblr a few years ago. So I quickly started this one up in its place, naming it in honor of our secret source Spade ♠️.
♠️ RIDDLE HISTORY
Eventually, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 anon started to visit us with messages:
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 MESSAGES
And, last week we had 🎃 Jack-O-Lantern stop by with a flurry of messages:
🎃 MESSAGES
I am just a fan. And, for whatever reason, they chose this blog as their platform. I am honored! ☺️

Thank you for answering! This leads to my next question though...:
What are the protagonists/heroes of these games like?
It's fun to do this kind of freeform worldbuilding, and I enjoy your writing about it~!
I've given that a little less thought than the game genres, my apologies. But:
The protag in Gauntlet Queen's game is Just Some Regular Girl in a bustling, human-exploiting cyberpunk city. When it becomes known that the president of an evil corpo that controls most of the city has gotten their hands on a super unstable and powerful energy generator and plans to use it to subjugate the people even further, she's like "This sucks. Fuck this. I'm gonna destroy that thing." She acquires a gun (which of course is easy to do in this setting) and goes on her way, getting entangled in all kinds of nonsense, including a rebel gang who plan to steal the generator and use it themselves for what they belief to be good and just reasons. (this gang is led by GQ!) The Protag in Spectral Queen's game is the same person as in the original, non-spooky game, but: Wears a jack-o-lantern hat.
The protag in Coral Queen's game i have no idea. They're just making their way through the worlds of this platformer and accidentally enter Coral's territory which pisses her off since she has a sacred duty to protect the underwater ruins she lives in.
The protag in Broadcast's Queen is a mystery. No clear info is given inside the game, and lore enthusiasts could debate for ages on the themes present in the game and what they might mean for the nature of the player character, but in the end nothing is certain and the protag is never seen, as it's a vague first person game. Yknow like Myst or LSD Dream Sim
Thank you for another fun question!!

Costume Contest anon here… HAPPY HALLOWEEN! It’s time for the first annual Halloween costume party organized by HBK at the Performance Center. Only the men were invited, so their costumes are allowed to include nudity. It’s an opportunity for the guys to hang out, show off the hard work they’ve been doing on their bodies. and have a relaxing night off at a private party. The PC is decorated for Halloween, similar to the Halloween Havoc setup. This year, HBK is judging the costumes with PC coaches J*son Jordan and On*y Lorcan. The guys are being judged by 3 criteria: Creativity, Physique, and Overall Presentation.
Let’s recap some of the highlights!
C*AMPA is Kratos from “God War,” body painted in white and sporting red stripes on his face and torso. He’s wearing a brown half-harness across his chest and a brown leather jockstrap.
TR*CK WILLIAMS is a Chippendale, shirtless and wearing the signature white collar, black bowtie, and white cufflinks. He’s wearing low-rise black tights; so low that they show the top half of his ass and the base of his penis.
R*COCHET has his face painted orange like a Jack-O-Lantern with yellow contact lenses. He’s wearing an orange jockstrap with his fat ass painted to be a giant orange pumpkin.
PR*TTY DEADLY are Adam and Eve, fully nude except for giant green leaves covering their penises and attached to their huge ass cheeks. Elton has a fake snake wrapped around his shoulders and Kit has an apple on his crotch.
CH*D GABLE is an Olympic swimmer, wearing medals around his neck and a tiny speedo, with his huge hamstrings and his fat cheeks hanging out.
NATHAN FRAZER is dressed as his mentor Seth R*llins from WrestleMania 2022. Wearing a long aqua blue fur coat, and tights that are fully black lace, showing off his dick. The guys are egging him on to lose the jacket and show off his ass, and he eventually caves in to take it off and reveal his wagon.
BR*N BREAKER is recreating Arnold Schwarzenegger’s famous nude rooftop scene from “The Terminator.” He’s walking around completely naked, with half of his face painted silver like a cyborg and wearing one black and red contact lens. He’s strutting around proud of his physique and not caring he’s missing an actual costume.
B*BBY LASHLEY is Jax Briggs from Mortal Kombat. He has his huge arms covered in silver sleeves, and he’s wearing purple tights that end at his quads, leaving his huge muscular ass hanging out. He’s covering his penis with a silver sleeve with the same material on his arms.
AUST*N THEORY is paying homage to John Cena’s nude scene in “Trainwreck.” He’s wearing nothing but a white towel around his penis. The guys can’t help but smack a handful of his fat ass as they pass by him.
L*GAN PAUL is dressed as the urban Ken from the “Barbie” movie, with a black bandana headband and a fur coat. The coat is cropped halfway down his torso. He’s wearing nothing below except for a black bandana wrapped around his thigh, covering his penis but leaving his fat ass completely exposed.
LA KN*GHT is doing a tribute to his catchphrase “YEAH!” He’s arrived naked with a different letter painted on the front and back of both legs and ass cheeks. Right quad has “Y,” left ass cheek has “E,” right ass cheek has “A” and left quad has “H.” He’s wearing a white sleeve over his penis that has a giant exclamation mark “!” on it.
S*TH ROLLINS finally arrives and is wheeled in on a platform. He’s come as Michaelangelo’s David statue, completely nude with his body painted in light gray. He has his curly hair pinned up, and while he’s normally very animated, he takes several moments throughout the party to stand and pose completely still like a statue.
So who are your 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners?
oh my god you fucking you ate this as always. slays slays SLAYS all over 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨thank you for your service!!!!
now onto the results…
honourable mentions go to: Pretty Deadly, Nathan Fraser, LA KNIGHT and Ricochet
🥉

AUSTIN THEORY
i mean he’s literally naked. with just a towel. just that fat ass completely exposed. it takes nerve and it paid off
🥈
in 2nd place is…
LOGAN PAUL
little bit biased but that Ken look turns me on BAD and imagining Logan in it… yeah:/
🥇
and our winner…
SETH ROLLINS
i mean who else? the camp.. the theatrics.. the dedication.. the sheer sexiness. it’s always gonna be our fag icon and we are so grateful
how about everyone else?

Redesign and update of the BIO! I always thought that maybe this character is something abstract, so I'll try to specify more information. I'll upload the old design to patreon, in case you want to see it to remember!
----------------------------------
-Name: Jack
-Age: -------- (he appears to be 31)
-Species: Halloween Spirit
-Dedication: -------
-Likes: Lonely places, cheat people, alcohol, smoke
-Dislikes: Ms. Chalice
-Skills: He's a spirit, therefore it has powers similar to demons and angels (with certain limitations, of course). Although he can take on a human form, he transforms into the figure the world has given him (a flaming pumpkin).
-Facts:
Jack in his past was a human (if you know the original story of "Jack o Lantern" you will know what I'm talking about).
Being the spirit of Halloween, what keeps him going is the holiday and the people who celebrate it.
His powers increase during the midnight of October 31st. To the point of having control over the underworld.
He is neither a demon nor an angel. He is a soul that became a spirit. (theory based on "the origin of the guardians" of dreamworks)
You can make a pact with him, in exchange for an offering or something of value that he asks for, but he's a somewhat treacherous spirit, so it's likely that he'll scam you or use the deal at his convenience.
His powers outside of the October dates are somewhat bland.
he always carries a pumpkin-shaped staff with him, which he can transform into a huge scythe
In his pumpkin form, he can control the flames on his body, and when he rages he sets most of his body on fire.
he is friendly with many witches, as he is often invoked every October 31
He has a rivalry with Legendary Chalice
-BIO: 300 years before the events of Cuphead: After the events of the "Jack O Lantern" story, after his story became known to the world, people began to celebrate the holiday known as "Samhain" in another way (Wiccan Celtic tradition on which it was based) on halloween. Giving rise to Jack acquiring control over the flame of the hellfire that he acquired, thanks to the people who celebrated it in honor of him, little by little acquiring power of it. When this became known among exorcist associations. Calix Amini sent Chalice to stop Jack from taking over Samhain. After a battle between Chalice and Jack (Jack with hellfire and Chalice with her will-o'-the-wisp) Jack did not win, but was able to escape and gain time. Despite exhaustive hunting for Jack, Chalice was unable to eliminate him in time, giving Jack victory in becoming the master spirit of Samhain. 300 years later, after living with her brothers, Chalice avoids celebrating Halloween at all costs, since although she can no longer do anything about it, she won't contribute to making Jack stronger, of course. Although she is the only mortal who can stand up to Jack

Bonfire jack-o'-lantern cinnamon and fireside! (@stabbyfoxandrew)
bonfire (describe your dream house) - okay kinda long answer because I’ve thought about this many times since once the interest rates are down i will likely be getting a house lmao. apologies for the long answer.
so I want a brick house, preferable the colors kinda muted. either gray and black brick or red and black. idk why it’s just nice to me. for the inside, I want a very open living room and a decently sized kitchen. at least probably 4-5 bedrooms so that if i choose to have or adopt kids they’d each get their own room AND I can keep having a game room/office. (Im in a two bedroom so it’s very convenient to keep all expensive electronics and a lot of my nerd shit away from the other rooms).
(doing a break here)
Id LOVE having a wall full of shelves with one of those ladders to have my own personal library to fill with books and trinkets. and a tall fence to have space for when I get a dog (not getting a dog in an apartment, I cannot consistently walk a dog on a leash and go to parks where I’m at). hopefully no neighbors super close they need to be a bit away from me
jack o’ lantern (if you could look like any celebrity, who would you choose?) - I already have a few celebrities that I’ve been told I look very similar to (and one who my best friend who once said I look so much like this actress she couldn’t comfortably watch a triggering show). but maybe sandra bullock? she’s one of the prettiest women I’ve ever seen. i don’t do celebrity crushes but if I had to give one, it’d be her (or mariska hargitay!! another pretty pretty lady). I love them <3 genuinely the first two women I remember seeing and being like…woah beautiful lady. and I already have the same hair and eye color so it wouldn’t be like…drastically not me
cinnamon (if you had to live in a time period different than the present, which would you choose and where?) - hmmmm not sure. not too far back because I want to have Rights, ya know? maybe gonna steal your answer @stabbyfoxandrew and say be an adult in 90s-00s. I do not want to live in my hometown bc it’s not at all progressive lmao. not sure where tho just maybe somewhere with a higher population but not a big city, idk. boring answer haha
fireside (if you had your dream wardrobe, what would it look like?) - sooo I have a bit of an all over the place preferred styles and also a few things I specifically want. a few of my favorite styles are dark academia, a lot of black and baggy clothes (kinda emo style stuff), and I fucking loveeee sweaters too. I live in a hot and humid state AND I overheat so easily so I cannot wear my preferred clothes that much of the year, and dark academia stuff would be too much money right now for not a lot of use.
specific pieces!! I am dying to buy a few more pairs of highs top platform converse. I love those so much. AND I want a pair of platform doc martens. I have a normal pair but I want Stompy Boot. i also want to not have the issue where i have a primary every day shoe because I’m an anime character apparently and almost exclusively wear one pair of shoes for ages, and only swaps during the new season outfit change. currently they are my red high top platform converse. (before these it was my timberlands lmao).
SORRY THIS GOT SO LONG I JUST HAVE TOO MANY THINGS TO SAY IN MY ANSWERS

Hey everyone! First time joining everyone and I’m super excited. I’m very happy to share my KH OC Kuragari who @amyhayanora brought to life for me 🖤🖤🖤. Catch up time
Day 1: Appearance
Day 2: Inventory
Them Song 🔽
Physical Appearance
Kuragari is a tall lean and muscular young man with dark brown skin, dark purple eyes and silver hair. Kuragari can summon the pumpkinHead Keyblade as his weapon at will which chose him to become its wielder. Kuragari takes on a much darker look while residing in Halloween town wearing a long, open sleeveless leather trench coat with a sharp collar. He also wears Black long pants with two Black belt Buckles on both legs. Kuragari also sports accessories like his Leather Neck/Chest Harness as well as his black arm sleeves with black belt buckles. He wears tall Black Metallic Reactor Boots which are platform height making him seem taller than normal. The Pumpkinhead Keyblade that Kuragari uses is almost entirely black in color. It has a simple handle, a facsimile of Jack Skellington's head adorning the hilt, and a jagged guard with thin, white veins that is modeled after Jack's bowtie. The shaft of the blade is thin and long, and the teeth resemble a stylized bat hanging from the blade. The Keychain token is a jack o' lantern.The name "Pumpkinhead" references Jack's position in Halloween Town, the "Pumpkin King". Both Jack's head and a jack o' lantern are part of the Keyblade's design.
Personal Inventory
Kuragari enjoys collecting Erie spell-books that he finds throughout his adventures while traveling to different worlds outside of his own (his most beloved spell book is made out of stitched flesh,teeth and a moving eyeball ). In Kuragari’s spare time he likes to read his spell books in peace, practicing different types of black magic further increasing his knowledge and skills.
