Notes :

all links lead to the goodreads page of the book, mostly because i like to look at book cover art ;

list features authors/books that i love (T. Kingfisher, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Ursula K. Le Guin, the collections from the British Library Tales of the Weird, etc.), but also a few that i don't like and some that i have not yet read ;

if upon seeing that list the first novel you check out is by Stephen King's you have not understood the assignment ;

not all of those are strictly horror stories, some are 100% science fiction (Brian W. Aldiss' Hothouse for instance).

#text #ramblings #plant tag #botanical horror #last time i posted a list of non-fiction books on the topic. time for some variety

With the Morning Light

Pairing: Marcus Moreno x Reader Word count: 1500 Warnings: None, just fluff Summary: Nights when Marcus was gone were the hardest. You couldn’t stop yourself from worrying about him, wondering if you would see him again. This night was no different. Only when he finally did stumbled into your little house, bruised and bloody, he had a baby in his arms. Masterlist | Ao3

It was one of those nights you hated most. The nights where you were left alone to worry. The house was dark and quiet which allowed all the thoughts you could normally drown out during the day to spark to life.

It was well past midnight and the coffee between your hands had long gone cold. You continued to grip the mug regardless. It not only helped you stay awake during nights like these, but it also helped ground you. When the thoughts became too much, you focused on the smooth, round ceramic beneath your fingertips.

The mug was a part of a set your aunt gave you when you married. They fit perfectly in your hands. When you opened the gift after you got home from your honeymoon, you didn’t imagine them being used so late at night to keep you from panicking.

You knew what being Marcus’s partner entailed when you said “I do.” You knew it when you said “Yes!” And you knew it when you asked him to get coffee all those years ago. You had nights like these long before the wedding and before the engagement, but before you had roommates or family nearby you could stay with when these nights got to be too hard. I guess it was your fault for wanting a little bit of land away from the hustle and bustle of the city you spent your days in. But Marcus had agreed.

Originally, the home was going to be built from scratch. Marcus wanted it to be perfect for the two of you. You were on the way to the lot your realtor wanted to show you when you passed this house.

Marcus had one hand on the wheel and one hand around yours. His finger ran over the engagement ring he had put on you not three months prior. You leaned your head against the window and watched the tall trees pass.

“We have to have chickens,” you said.

“Chickens?” Marcus asked.

“Yes, chickens,” you smiled thinking of your aunt’s chickens and the taste of farm-fresh eggs. Having a little basket on the counter with brown and blue eggs inside.

“We will get chickens then,” Marcus said. “We can have the coop modeled after our house.”

You laughed, “A normal coop will do.”

The two of you sat in comfortable silence watching the scenery pass you by. You love the idea that you would someday soon be living out here with the love of your life. It put a smile on your face that you couldn’t get rid of.

The car went around a large turn when you saw it. The little gray stone house being eaten by green veins, hidden by large oak trees, and was that a willow tree on the left?

“Marcus, stop the car,” you said, your eyes glued to the house with the red and white for sale sign in the yard.

“What is it?” he asked, slowing the car down.

“That house,” you said. “That’s the house.”

Marcus pulled the car off to the side. You both stepped out of the car, and you jogged over to the little wooden gate that opened into the yard. Marcus came to stand behind you, his arms slowly wrapped around your waist and his chin came to rest on your shoulder. You laid your arms over his.

“This is our house,” he whispered, taking in every little detail. It would need work. A lot of work. But it was your house.

“We’re home.”

You called your realtor and had an offer in before the day ended. The first thing you did when you moved in was hang a porch swing in the willow tree.

It took time, but the first floor was almost completely renovated and you would be starting work on the upstairs bedrooms in a few months. You had chickens, just like you wanted. Some mornings you would get up with the sun and collect the eggs while Marcus fixed coffee. The two of you would meet beneath the willow and drink your coffee and listen to the sounds of the countryside. Those mornings were perfect. Other mornings, especially in the winter months, you would stay in bed a little while longer. Marcus would get up and start a fire in the fireplace across from your bed and then crawl under the covers beside you. Those mornings were wonderful.

It’s the nights alone you didn’t like.

You woke up with your cheek pressed against the wooden dining table. The screen door had been what woke you. The screen door. Marcus.

You stood us quickly, your chair screeching against the floor. Marcus stood in the entryway still in his tactical suit. He was covered in dirt, blood, and bruises. Whose blood, you didn’t know. And in his arms was a little girl no older than four. She was sound asleep against Marcus’s shoulder.

You wondered if this was what Catelyn Stark felt when Ned came home with Jon. But Marcus had not been to war, nor would he have cheated, and he didn’t have a sister who ran away with a married man and caused the war that Marcus would theoretically be fighting in.

“Whose child is this?” You asked, moving closer and brushing the little girl’s long hair from her face.

“Is the guest room still set up from when your sister’s son stayed the night?” Marcus asked. He sounded so tired.

“Yes,” you said, reaching out to take the girl from him. He hesitated at first. Something you didn’t recognize flashed across his face. Then he released her to you. Quietly, you took the girl up the stairs to the guest room and tucked her into the twin bed.

When you came back downstairs, Marcus was sitting at the kitchen table. You grabbed the medkit you kept under the sink and fixed a glass of water. Carefully, you began to clean Marcus’s face. He closed his eyes, his hand rested on your hip as you worked.

“Marcus,” you whispered. “Whose child is sleeping in our guestroom?”

He sighed. “No one.”

You placed the rag you had been using to wipe his face on the table and cupped his cheeks. “She has to be someone.”

Marcus leaned into your touch and looked up at you. “She was at an orphanage that had been attacked. She was the only child left.” Your name fell from his lips and the way he said it caused something in you to shatter. “They were all dead. All of them.”

“Oh, Marcus.” You gathered him in your arms, his head resting against your chest.

“I couldn’t save them,” he cried. “I couldn’t save any of them.”

“You saved her,” you whispered.

You didn’t get him to bed until almost three. You left him sleeping in the bedroom, having gently pried his tactical suit off him and coaxing him into the bed.

Climbing the stairs you wondered what would come next. There were so many different paths from this one. You never imagined yourself a mother, but then Marcus showed up with her in his arms and you had the same feeling you felt when you saw this house.

You quietly entered the guestroom. The little girl was still fast asleep. Her little body moved with each breath. You sat in the chair beside the window and that’s where you sat until morning. The last thought before sleep took you was, “this is our child.”

You woke up with your arms wrapped around a tiny human. Sometime in the night, the little girl had crawled into your lap. And sometime in the night, you had wrapped your arms around her.

The pounding of someone running up the stairs echoed around you and then Marcus was there. He sighed and his hand gripped his bare chest when he saw you. “You weren’t there when I woke up,” he said.

“I didn’t want her to be alone,” you said. You reached your hand out, silently asking him to join you. He did. He kissed the top of your head before sitting on the floor beside the chair. His hand gripped yours like it was his lifeline.

“What do we do now?” Marcus asked. His eyes on the little girl in your lap.

“I don’t know,” you whispered, burying your nose in the little girl’s hair.

“Her name’s Missy,” Marcus said.

“Missy,” you repeated, trying the name on your tongue.

“I know you said no kids,” Marcus began.

“I said no biological kids,” you corrected him.

“Biological kids,” Marcus paused. “Would you ever consider. . . ?”

Missy stirred a bit only to press farther into you. Your body reacted in this warm, fuzzy way. It had you holding her closer to you, rubbing circles into her back as you remembered your mother doing to you when you were sick or tired as a kid. Marcus squeezed your hand and you squeezed back.

The night was finally over and with the morning sun, you could breathe.

“Yes.”

Queen Wilhelmina "Willow" Henstridge born Moreno

The reason why I love Jillian so much in my gameplay is because I partially created her based on the E! tv show The Royals' character Willow. And Willow is... Well, she's my favorite character of the TV show. And when I saw the Penelope dress by @threethousandplumbobs I thought: it's Willow's wedding dress! So I knew I had to recreate her. I love Genevieve Gaunt and it's hard for me to recreate a real person's features, but I hope it's not too bad.

More sim!Willow here and here.

In love with this Instagram template by @kittyshcherbatsky. I adapted it on GIMP with minor tweaks. (mainly added diaporama dots)

I originally intended to do a lookbook recreating Willow Henstridge (née Moreno) from the TV show The Royals (yes I am back to being sad about this show's cancellation) but I reaaaaally like this sim now. OK I'm completely biased because I loved Willow and was happy she bacame queen more than she married Robert for love.

Here is just an attempt to create lookbooks later on but hm. Not sold. I should use the story template instead.

𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐰𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐬 ... 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 ?

everyone deserves a fresh start — especially the residents of hawkins, indiana . some are beginning to question if the town is cursed but an unlucky few know the truth about the seemingly - quaint town . after being plagued by tragedy and defeating the mind flayer , everyone is hoping that their suffering has come to an end ... but living in hawkins is never that easy . despite the current lull , they can only wonder if the chaos is finally over or if what’s to come could be worse than what they’ve conquered in the past .

𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲.

a canon - divergent and head - canon enthused stranger things roleplay taking place after the events of season three , leading into the events of season four . all muns and muses must be 20+ , canon and original muses are permitted , standard rules of etiquette apply . mutuals and/or those who liked the previous interest post will be given preference .

𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬.

standard rules apply . we’re adults and we know the basics !

( 1 ) no ooc drama , no godmodding , no ship chasing , no bubble roleplaying . keep negativity / rants in the chat minimal . i am here for you if something is wrong but please be mature about your complaints and concerns . if you cause ooc drama , you’ll be removed with NO WARNING .

( 2 ) mature themes are likely going to be present in this verse so be mindful before applying . please censor triggering material and mark channels as nsfw , if necessary . muns, muses and faceclaims must be 20+ . ideally for the younger group , they’re between the ages of twenty and twenty - one with the older group being twenty - two or twenty - three .

( 3 ) as stated in the interest post , i do want to keep this on the small and intimate side but i don’t have a mun cap in mind . you’re allowed to play three muses . due to the lack of diversity within the show , i highly encourage thinking outside the box with fcs for the younger group since their faceclaims can’t be used and being as diverse as possible when bringing in original characters . at least ONE of your muses MUST be gender - diverse or a person of color .

( 4 ) although real life always comes first , please don’t join if you are not able to adequately contribute to the group . this will be a collaborative space with no activity limit ... don’t take advantage of that . since this group is set in the 80s , one - liners and paras will be preferred . i will allow occasional text threads due to convenience ( we’ll use our imagination and pretend it’s a quick walkie talkie convo or something ) but face - to face - interactions should get precedence .

taken list :

mike wheeler portayed by eli hewson , written by lari .

will byers portrayed by froy gutierrez , written by j .

eleven / jane hopper ,portrayed by auli'i cravalho , written by ivy .

dustin henderson portrayed by dylan arnold , written by ron .

☆ THEO JAMES, MALE, HE/HIM ☆ PAUL ARCHER the THIRTY FIVE year old has been trapped here since 2000. We heard heard the FIREFIGHTER made themselves at home in SUMERSET APARTMENTS. While others around town have gossiped that they are LOYAL and COMPULSIVE but maybe that’s what helps them survive here. [ MADZ, 25, EST, SHE/HER. ]

Paul comes from a fairly traditional nuclear family. Mother (63), father (68), grandmother (95), and aunt Suzanne (46) all lived on their family land, passed down slowly from generation to generation. He also had three older brothers who were perfect specimens of the Archer line, tall and strong and athletically gifted. Paul wasn’t ever considered small or weaker than the other boys, but the shadow cast over his achievements was large and remained up until he was a senior in high school when he was the only boy left.

When Paul was 7, his life changed forever. When the U-Haul left the house across the street from his, his eyed went wide when he saw a girl just around his age with the most beautiful smile. She was digging in the dirt, planting some sort of seeds with her mother, and as they waved him over he didn't know what he was feeling but it was something that made him feel good.

The two were inseparable throughout grade school, and beyond. When everything went dark, Valentina was the first and only person Paul could think about, and when he found out she was okay he held on even tighter.

When he began to come to the realization that the two of them would never be able to leave Holbrook, he decided to take charge of his life. He proposed, and she gracefully accepted, and they moved together to Willow Ridge, a quaint two bedroom home with the most precious nursery room they'd seen.

It was supposed to be their home forever, until the night everything changed. Valentina had come home hysterical and Paul tried so hard to understand what was wrong. But Valentina had choices to make, and she made them, without consultation. Her sister had wandered out onto the lake during a drunken dare and Valentina felt compelled to go after her.

He begged and begged for Valentina to stay, and explained to her that she was the only thing he had keeping him together, but it wasn't enough for her. He loved her anyway, and knew that she would do anything for her family. So he let her go. It broke his heart immensely, but he had hope and faith that she would return to him.

However, she did not. And it took Paul three years to come to terms with it. He sold their home the moment her body was found, and has been living in a small studio apartment since, not taking care of himself the way he knows she'd want him to. But how can he bring himself to care about anything when the one thing that saved him is gone?

Since her death, Paul has had a hard time controlling his impulses and compulsions, and has become a bit of a recluse in the town. Sure, he still goes to the fire station, and can be found perusing the aisles of the grocery mart, but there aren't many people in town who can say they know much about the man other than his name and his marital status.

It upsets him, when he opens his apartment door up and someone has ever so thoughtfully left a casserole and cleaning products at his door. He can't take the pitiful glances his neighbors throw his way, though he can't help but think that they're just responding to the countless nights of endless tears and wails coming from his apartment.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

REBOUND: (COSTA MORENO) Paul has never had eyes for another woman, and anyone can attest to that. Valentina was his one and only, and for Paul that was enough. After months and months of nagging from the boys at the station, they ended up dragging him out of the house and to The Venue. There it was that he met YOUR CHARACTER and they ended up going home together. It was a good experience for the evening, but the aftermath hasn't been pretty. Paul feels guilt and shame for what he had done, and does his best to avoid (YOUR CHARACTER) around town. NEIGHBOR/FRIEND: Someone in the building feels for Paul. (YOUR CHARACTER) has the unfortunate pleasure of being just within earshot of Paul's apartment, and has heard the sad songs bellowing from his room for far too long now. They've sent casseroles, left notes, invitations, gifts, ANYTHING they could think of to get him out of his slump. The two haven't really spoken except in quick exchanges outside their doors, and while Paul knows that they might seem to care, they could never understand his pain. WORK OUT BUDDY/TRAINER: Someone who holds Paul accountable. He's taken it upon himself within the last few months to start pulling himself together, and weight training has been a big part of that. As much as he wanted to exercise, he couldn't find the strength most days to get himself out of the house. But after meeting (YOUR CHARACTER) He admired their dedication and got their information.

Any and everything! I'm not super great at general connection ideas but I'm very open to any and all dynamics! Just has to make sense between our characters <3
