Decided to take the leap and post the little fanfic I wrote at the start of the month to AO3. The Yiling Laozu takes a break in the burial mounds. Also, there is a worm.

Turning off the taps as you dry your hands against the soft cotton of your apron, it's the particularly quiet sound of the sliding door's latch clicking shut that first raises your suspicions. Glancing at the clock above the stove, you find that it's a little later than usual for Jake to be coming in from the garden, and being familiar with the clumsy boy's nature, you know he'd never be one to close anything with care- unless it was intentional.
Your socked feet pad lightly against the wooden boards of the floor as you cross the kitchen and step out into the living room; as you switch on the lights, the sight you're met with brings a light laugh to your chest. Jake stands halfway across the room, tip-toeing almost comically as he peeks down at something he's got tucked in his favorite green t-shirt, the fabric of the garment being stretched out to use like a little kangaroo pouch.
The blonde jumps at the sudden illumination of the room, his hand quickly closing the flap of fabric down to conceal whatever he's got hidden in his shirt as he looks up at you with wide eyes, like a deer in the headlights; "H-hey, sweetcheeks! I was just finishing up outside- sorry to keep you waiting."
Giggling softly to yourself, you lean a shoulder against the frame of the archway, crossing your arms as you give the man a nod. "That's okay, looks like you might've been busy out there. What's that you've got in your shirt, handsome?" you question gently, your amused smile only growing wider as you watch the little lump wiggle beneath the layer of fabric.
"O-oh this? I- it's nothing," Jake laughs off awkwardly, doing his best to keep whatever the creature is from escaping its hiding spot. "It's just... I was just gonna go look for..." As his voice trails off, a look of knowing guilt forms on his face as he sighs, raising his brow in a silent plea.
"Jakey, baby," you hum softly.
"I know, I know," he tries, "but please, y/n- hear me out..."
"Honey, if it's another 'possum, I'm about to lock you both outside for the night," you warn playfully, earning a quick shake of the head as you nod, relieved.
"No, no ma'am. Learned my lesson last time," he promises, slowly starting to step toward you as he keeps his hand closed over the pouch.
"It better not be a squirrel either, or a rat. Or a-"
"No, petal. None'a those things. It's... y/n, come here. You gotta look. He's so..." Carefully opening up the flap, you watch as the adorable dork peers in at what's inside, his cheeks squishing up in delight as he almost squeals before looking back up at you, his voice a little stronger this time, "Cutie, come here. You gotta see him."
Sighing, you oblige, inching a few feet closer to get a better look as he once again opens up the pouch, reaching in to pull out a tiny orange kitten with big blue eyes, its little body wriggling gently against the man's large hands. "Oh honey..." you coo.
"I know, I know, just look at him," Jake whispers, his voice swelling with affection as his eyes look over the precious little creature, completely enchanted by its charm. Warmth grows in your chest as you watch more than anything Jake watching the kitten, the endearingness of the whole situation undeniable.
"Where'd you find him?" you ask softly, reaching an arm out to guide the two to the couch.
Lowering himself slowly against the cushions as you take a seat next to him, Jake reveals, "Over by the pond. Poor little guy was trying to drink the water like the ducks- his eyes look like they haven't been open for too long; I think he needs milk. Looked everywhere for his mama, couldn't find her. He was helpless out there," he frowns, his voice almost sounding like he could be on the verge of tears.
Wrapping your arm around him gently, you rub his shoulder soothingly. "We'll have to get a little bottle then, huh?" you hum. Big blue eyes looking up at you, Jake swallows hard.
"You mean... we can keep him?" he whispers.
"Well, it seems like he might need us to, right?" you reason. The man simply nods. "You're right; he's awfully little. Looks like he needs a new mama, and I think I might know just the loser for the job." Chuckling softly, Jake nods, looking down at the small animal as it curls up in his hands.
"I think he might've imprinted on me," he tells you.
Letting out a light laugh, you ask, "Oh yeah? Are you sure it wasn't the other way around?"
Jake playfully denies, shaking his head. "No, no, at first I thought it was the ducks. Thought he might've been trying to fall in line with that group of ducklings... but they were moving too fast for him. As soon as I scooped him up, I think he knew he was mine, that I was gonna take care of him."
"Such a sweet little guy," you croon, reaching out gently to run a few careful fingers over the sleepy kitten. Turning a bit on his side, it lets out the tiniest yawn, little white paws stretching out before curling back up comfortably, cradled in the hands of its new "mama."
"He is a guy, I checked," Jake informs you. "Never had a cat before, so I'm not an expert on any of this, but I'm guessing he's only a few weeks old. Just a little loser," he dotes lovingly, running his thumb over the creature's head, smoothing back its fur from its closed eyes.
"Don't you have a thing against cats?" you ask, brow furrowing as you faintly remember him once sharing some weird snippet of knowledge during one of his ramblings, probably pulled from one of his hundreds of encyclopedias. "Something about... cats can't be trusted?"
"Yeah, maybe... but look at him," he gushes, clearly all hostilities towards the species now pushed to the side. "Little man probably can't form a single coherent thought; there's no way he's plotting any evil schemes yet. And I'm gonna raise him good, raise him right. He's gonna be a man of character and integrity."
"Isn't he so lucky," you hum happily, resting your head against the blonde's shoulder as you both look over the little bundle of joy. "Alright. Milk, bottles, we'll need a litter box... you driving?"
"Sorry, I can't," he whispers as he brings the sleeping kitten up to kiss its tiny head. "Mama's gotta hold the baby. We're takin' your car."

TALES FROM THE GAS STATION: A BRIEF SUMMARY
OR: an explanation of my blorbos
by tumblr user multi-lefaiye

Tumblr media
[Transcript:
what the fuck is this series?
Tales From the Gas Station started as a creepypasta series on the NoSleep subreddit
Then it kinda blew up and became popular enough that the creator reworked and rewrote the series to make them into books
There are four books total and also a seven-part comic series in the works!
Essentially, this is a horror-comedy series centering around a character named Jack Townsend, the minimum-wage employee of a shitty gas station at the edge of an even shittier small town, which also happens to be the epicenter of many supernatural happenings

DISCLAIMER
I haven’t finished reading the full series yet because [redacted] redacted] [redacted]
But regardless I’m MOSTLY basing this presentation on book one to avoid spoiling later events for people who wanna check this out themselves :)
This is not an exhaustive presentation unfortunately.
Look at this raccoon

Content warnings!!
So I’m not gonna go into the triggering stuff in this presentation, but if you wanna check out TFTGS yourself I wanna give a heads up where I can.
I also will try to give context to things where I can if I feel that it’s needed, but yeah point is I want to make sure anyone who checks this out knows what they’re getting into.
Anyway full list of warnings on the next slide let’s go
/ End Transcript]
Tumblr media
[Transcript:
Okay here are the actual content warnings
There are a few side/minor characters who are really blatantly racist and xenophobic b/c TFTGS does not shy away from the fact that it takes place in a small, shitty southern US town--these characters are condemned by the narrative and clearly The Assholes but still, tread lightly.
Casual ableism, especially towards Jack, including the use of the r-slur (once again also condemned by the narrative but still)
Lots and lots of violence and murder
Suicide
Lots of talk of terminal illness
Drug use
Cults
Psychiatric abuse
SOME graphic depictions of blood n’ gore n’ corpses, but the gore is never the focus thankfully

CHARACTERS!!!
FULL DISCLAIMER: THIS IS ALL PRETTY MUCH MY INTERPRETATIONS OF THE CHARACTERS. Many of them don't have much in the way of physical descriptions and these are all just my personal designs for the characters :) Yay

JACK TOWNSEND
The universe’s favorite punching bag
He’s got that autistic tboy swag and I love him so so much
Chronically ill since he was in high school
Just fucking vibing
Frequently gets insulted and beaten down and it stresses me out but he gets less and less chill about it as the series goes on. I think he deserves to throw rocks at people
I relate to him a lot and idk what that says about me <3
Blorbo <3333

ANTONIO / TONY
So I’m not quite sure how to talk about him without spoiling a bunch of shit
Ah well
One of Jack’s coworkers and his best friend in volume 1!
Kind of a sweet, anxious guy who’s just trying his best
What’s a little accidental murder between besties??? It was an accident, it’s fine.
King of being a really good and trustworthy guy with nothing else going on
I love him genuinely

JERRY PASCAL
Jack’s emotional support human and bestie
Kind of like a puppy, except that puppy does a lot of illegal shit and kills people
Former member of a murderous cult called Mathmetism
Referred to as Marlboro for most of the first book b/c Jack doesn’t know his name
Big stupid energy but also the smartest bitch in the room. Depends on what would be funnier
Would fight god in the parking lot
If he’s being serious, something is wrong

SPENCER MIDDLETON
MY POOR LITTLE MEOW MEOW
Too sexy and evil for gender
My design for him is very far from canon and I am aware of that. However I think everyone should draw him as a long-haired prettyboy <3
He’s just so babygirl <3
I hate him and love him in equal measure
God let him live another day and that’s everyone else’s problem
Anyway I just think he’s neat and should do more crimes

AMELIA O'BRIEN
Cop (unfortunate)
I have very mixed feelings about her as a character ngl and most of them tie back to her being a cop
I do think she’s interesting though
Wish she’d cool it with the casual ableism though <3 Like I know it’s not just her but goddamn
Anyway I guess she counts as a #girlboss
One time one of my friends compared her to the gay cop in Onward and I can’t stop thinking about it because God So True

ROSA VASQUEZ
Sweetest girl in the world
Technically doesn’t show up until volume 2 but I love her so much so I’m talking about her here
Newest hire at the gas station and completely unprepared for The Horrors
She adapts pretty quickly though
Has a really huge really obvious crush on Jack and tbh I think it’s cute
Unfortunately he is oblivious
Besides that though she’s a very fun character and makes me very happy :)

SABINE
We don’t need to talk about her
So we’re not going to talk about her
You have to read volume 2 to get this backstory

MISC. CHARACTERS I'M NOT MAKING PICREWS OF
Kieffer - the world’s most killable man! A local politician and, arguably, part of the reason everything goes to shit.
Benjamin - a monster hunter who’s convinced that there’s something evil in the gas station. And he’s gonna kill it.
Vanessa Riggin - another employee at the gas station who unfortunately disappears during volume 1.
Brother Riley - local bookstore owner and ray of sunshine! Got basically excommunicated for teaching kids to read
Dr. V - psychiatric abuse: the character! (Jack’s psychiatrist who doesn’t seem particularly interested in actually helping him)
Deputy Tom - cop (unfortunate), but also Jack’s kinda father figure.
Agents Brick Roscoe - idk how to even get into this so I simply will not.

PLOT!!!
/ End Transcript]
[Image Description: Two edited memes featuring raccoons. One shows a raccoon facing the camera, with a photoshopped human hand holding a gun pointing at the viewer. The other shows a raccoon in front of a sunset and looking to the left, with a faded image of a screaming raccoon behind it. The second meme reads: "Physically pained, Mentally drained" / End ID.]

[Transcript:
Volume 1 Premise
The premise of volume 1 centers quite a bit around Kieffer, a local politician.
Picture this: your best friend pulls you aside at work and asks you about the guy who just came into the store. After you explain who the guy is, your friend says, “No, that can’t be him. I killed him last night. His body is in my trunk.”
That’s the day Jack is having.
A wild series of events follows, made worse when Jack starts documenting his experiences in a blog to keep himself sane
People start going missing! Other people start dying! Kieffer especially starts dying!
Jack is not being paid enough to deal with any of this!
/ End Transcript]
Tumblr media
[Transcript:
Other things about volume 1 I wanna say, minus context
I think Spencer Middleton is babygirl material and I will not be silenced b/c I am so right
There is a genuinely really clever bit of writing in volume 1 centering around Jack’s leg injury but I don’t know how to explain it without spoilers so just know I think it’s really cool
The Bathroom Cowboy is a cool dude and I think I would like to be his best friend
I think Jack should be allowed to have a nice day for once in his fucking life
Rita the raccoon is a girlboss
The Man in the Raincoat is so gender
Agents Brick Roscoe confuse and frighten me. They’re also really funny
/ End Transcript]
Tumblr media
[Transcript:
Here's a quote from volume 1 that I think captures the style of comedy well
She walked up to the counter and smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
What a great question. I think a lot of things, actually. I ran through a shortlist of answers. I think people spend too much time mowing their lawns. I think Marlboro's probably dead, and I may be somewhat responsible. I think no man ever steps in the same river twice. I think that, in terms of reality, perception outweighs actuality in every case, but if I were to say something like that in this town I'd get my ass kicked for being a pretentious dick. I think Tony was too hard on 'Temple of Doom.' I think every magazine is a scam. (Why should I pay for a magazine when it's already full of advertisements?) I think forcing children to recite the pledge of allegiance is creepy, and hot dogs are not sandwiches (they are, in fact, American tacos). I think things at the gas station are getting worse and I can't explain why.
