so we saw one of swanatello's good days . . . how do the bad days go? :eyes: don't mind me i feed on angst~
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Swanatello is Guardian of The Lake and is extremely territorial and protective. The brothers have to take turns and visit him one at a time-- if they approach as a group, Swanatello will quickly grow defensive and view them as a threat. They've learned by now that if he's not able to recognize them, the best thing to do is back off and try again tomorrow.
... Mostly learned, anyway.
(The next time Leo's able to visit properly, Donnie will worriedly ask him what happened to his wrist.)

Bitey reader series - part 3
Content: gender neutral reader (heavily implied to be neurodivergent in some way), biting (gentle affectionate biting, not in a kinky way, just as a nontraditional expression of platonic affection)
Part 1
Part 2
Characters: Razor, Thoma, Venti, Xiao, Yae Miko, Zhongli
Razor takes it as hostility at first when you give him an affectionate bite on the forearm - it takes him a few moments to process it and figure out what it was supposed to mean based on the vibe you're giving off. He catches on quickly though and is actually rather thrilled that you seem to be speaking in a language he understands - spending so much time around wolves means he's probably familiar with their playful nips and bites, especially from the pups. It makes him happy to know that people do that sometimes too, and with some coaxing he might even feel comfortable enough to return the favour.
Thoma is entirely baffled. He'll question it, ask if you need something to eat or drink, he's just so sweetly confused. He doesn't really like being bitten and kind of sees it as something that has inherently negative connotations, a way that you're nonverbally telling him something is wrong and he needs to fix it. Even if that's not the case, he's still a bit confused and flighty about it and will just silently pull away, offering you a snack or something instead. He might even start carrying around some of your favourite snack foods to discourage you from chewing on him.
Venti certainly knows a thing or two about non-traditional displays of affection. He's probably super okay with it and may even return the favour if the mood strikes (watch out for those little fangies of his though!). He thinks it's super sweet and cute and is just happy you feel comfortable enough around him to show affection in a way that may be seen as a little 'strange'. He probably gets a little giggly over it and jokes that he must taste really good for you to want to nibble on him all the time.
Xiao is ... mildly irritated, at first. He'll draw away sharply and give you this long, searching look as he struggles to wrap his head around what he did wrong to make you want to bite him. Though, growing up around non-humans means he's not exactly unfamiliar with the concept of strange ways of showing affection, he's grown so used to people being afraid to lay a hand on him that he's just entirely lost and not sure how to act. It's a little hypocritical, considering the fact that he's been known to butt his horns against those that he likes, preen at their hair with his fingers, or even chew on their clothing on occasion. If you do it consistently enough, he'll eventually just... settle. He likes you, and doesn't want to hurt you by lashing out, and he supposes it isn't that bad.
Yae Miko, despite her elegant and put-together facade, still has some foxlike instincts buried deep down. If you bite her, she'll bite you back, twice as hard, just as a routine disciplinary act. She'll act all cutesy and smile about it, asking you what's wrong when you get upset and telling you that you shouldn't do these things if you aren't going to be prepared for the consequences. If she's busy or you're in public, however, she'll wordlessly redirect you onto something else without even looking, like you're a naughty kit or something like that. If she could pick you up by the scruff of the neck and put you at arm's length when you get all bitey, she probably would (mostly just to see your distraught reaction).
Zhongli also has some experience with the instinctual urge to bite others (it's a disciplinary thing for his species), he's had others display affection to him in this way, so it doesn't really phase him. He'll just let you take his hand and chew on it lightly so long as it's not too distracting or inconvenient (he's ambidextrous, so continuing paperwork is no issue). Though there's always a non-zero chance that you doing this will remind him of some old fable he heard somewhere about werewolves or vampires and send him into this big long ramble (that can be a good or bad thing depending on your attention span and ability to cope with his nattering). Sometimes it's like he's barely even noticed you've done it at all.
Please don't repost, steal, copy or otherwise plagarise my writing! This includes posting translations to other sites.

Star Swap, thinking about how long it'd take before people found out.
Jotaro in Josuke's place is definitely the fastest to be found out. He does not know how to do the hair. He doesn't even know TO do the hair. Tomoko's clued into something being wrong FUCKING IMMEDIATELY and, especially given how Jotaro's going to respond to her, she's not going to let it rest till she figures it out. And then older Jotaro arrives and uhhhh yeah he's going to recognize the familiar Angst
Josuke in Jotaro's place, honestly unsure. Holly's observant, and would notice right away, but I don't know how much she'd push it, if at all, and then she gets sick, and Joseph, while super observant, hasn't seen Jotaro in a while to be able to have a baseline. I think Josuke would want to tell people, but there's so much going on that nobody can really focus on figuring it out or deciding who/how to tell.
Nobody knew Giorno well enough to tell prior to part 5. It's all down to if Joseph chooses to tell anyone. And honestly... He might. Trish especially, he might as a way of sharing his own experiences to let her know she's not alone in feeling lost and homesick and in over her head.
Giorno's going to try and hide it. Erina and Speedwagon will notice something's up, but not push enough to figure it out. And Giorno's a good actor. Maybe he'll tell Suzie or Caesar some of it eventually, but... It'd be hard for him.
Jolyne, uh. Dio figures out That's Not Jonathan immediately but it's shortly before he used the mask so he's not seen any supernatural shit yet and is supremely confused. He wouldn't know how it happened or how to respond at ALL. And George might take it as a rebellious phase or some shit, given that he's distracted by being poisoned. I could see her telling Erina once she shows up though.
Jonathan has a month at best before he's forced to tell someone. He does not know how to deal with periods in Jolyne's body. He was raised by a single father in the late 1800s. He's going to have to ask Hermes or someone for help, and probably explain why he doesn't know, and thus where/when he's from, in the process. And honestly he probably wanted to tell someone early on, but was taking a minute to settle in and try not to upset his presumed descendant's life and then he got framed and the chaos and he didn't know who to trust at first- he's glad to tell someone.
YESSSSSSSSS
Out of all the Jojo’s, Jotaro is the most fucked about keeping this secret. The morning he wakes up it doesn’t matter what he does, Tomoko is going to be on him in an instant and he has no chance whatsoever at keeping the body swap a secret. Honestly Tomoko might connect the pieces pretty quick and could even confront him in a “who are you and what have you done with my son” way within a day or two of “Josuke” acting off. On the plus side Josuke doesn’t seem to have had….. really any friends prior to Diamond so that’ll make things a bit easier at least.
Thing are DEFINITELY going to be awkward between Tomoko and Jotaro tho. He’ll explain the situation as best he can, but there isn’t much he can offer beyond theories and giving a more in depth explanation of his admittedly limited knowledge about Stands. Both are struggling to figure out What The Fuck Do We Do, but they’d probably end up working together. Admittedly things are still tense, and it only gets worse when 4taro shows up, doubly so when he learns this kid is apparently his grandfather’s bastard son.
(also I can definitely see Jotaro calling Holly at some point. He doesn’t say anything, but just hearing her voice on the other end of the receiver, hearing proof that she was still alive…… it took a weight off his shoulders)
And your thoughts are basically the same as mine when it comes to Josuke. Holly would definitely realize something was wrong, but she wouldn’t have time to tell anybody because of the Stand Sickness. There would also be an added layer to Josuke’s panic because He Can’t Fix This, and seeing her illness from a Stand would ironically remind him of his own sickness when he was a boy. At least the Crusaders have a healer now?
Joseph…… that’s a tricky one. Nobody knows him so they’d have no reason to even suspect anything. Telling Trish would be an interesting idea, but there is also the chance that he just. Never does. Parts of his story yes, mentioning the Pillarmen and his experiences possibly, implying time travel MAYBE, but he might not mention the “I might be possessing a 15 year old’s body”
For Giorno, while he’d definitely be able to get away with it on Air Supplena, Speedwagon and Erina are going to notice immediately. They might be hesitant to push in the beginning because Joseph growing that withdrawn could be seen as something having happened emotionally, but I think eventually they’d put together the pieces that this isn’t their grandson
Jolyne in Jonathan’s body……. That’s going to be pure fucking gold. She does not take ANY of Dio’s shit. Also, I really like the idea of her telling Erina. After all…… she isn’t the man Erina loves, she’s merely inhabiting his body. It would feel wrong to take advantage of her in such a way, especially because of how genuine those feelings seem to be. And Dio figuring it out himself is just 🤌
And Jonathan. Poor, poor Jonathan. Out of everyone he’s going to have easily the hardest time adjusting. And what if the thing with Hermes is just his absolute breaking point. He’s tired and confused and now he’s bleeding and everything hurts and he just wants to go home, so when Hermes asks hims what’s wrong everything just comes crashing down
And Hermes….. was not at all expecting this. Sure ‘Jolyne’ was a little weird, but she’d just chalked that up to that just being how she was, that that was just her personality. But this? Forceful time travel into a body that didn’t belong to them??? Yeah that wasn’t ANYWHERE on the list

Lucien Lachance x Antoinetta Marie Headcanons: The Great Treachery of Cheydinhal
As I mentioned in my first headcanon post, I have a whole headcanon scenario for how I believe this pairing would be affected by the Dark Brotherhood questline. Far more angst and tragedy in this one so buckle up!
Antoinetta and Lucien's relationship grows strained as the Great Treachery of Cheydinhal rears its ugly head. It began as the rumblings of a potential traitor saw Lucien far busier than usual, their trysts growing even farther apart. Then it's deduced that it's the Cheydinhal Sanctuary that has bred the traitor.
Lucien is paranoid about what this means of he and Antoinetta. He attempts to calculate dates and times, any evidence that could support the idea SHE did not commit the treachery. Nothing is substantial.
The downward spiral begins. He is livid. Had he truly been sleeping with the enemy? In letting his guard down, letting her in, has he helped damn his Brotherhood? The mere idea feels like a betrayal, and though a part of him trusts her, knows her enough to understand her loyalty to the Brotherhood is sincere and unshakable, there is no option to act upon the instinct of the heart and rule her out.
The idea festers in him, and he grows taciturn and distant to Antoinetta. After all he cannot fully trust her now. More than that... if he separates himself enough, the sting of the wound that is bound to be inflicted may burn less.
Antoinetta, distraught by their sudden strain, seeks him out in private; little does she know this is the time Lucien's recieved the order for Purification. Try as she may to plead for an explanation he shuts her down, tells her they are finished. Knowing to flee from a fight she cannot win, Antoinetta retreats back to the Sanctuary more confused and upset than when she first sought him out. She just... doesn't understand what happened between them! And she's determined not to lose this - but it's obvious a face-to-face discussion didn't work, so she takes to brainstorming other gestures that may convince Lucien to reconsider...
Tumblr media
(You can actually find this letter in the Cheydinhal Sanctuary. I headcanon this is an unsent letter Antoinetta wrote for Lucien because I enjoy pain.)
Antoinetta laments on when she should deliver this letter to Lucien. She decides to wait awhile; perhaps whatever is troubling him will settle down by then and he will be more agreeable. She looks over her work as she takes a bite of an apple on the table.
It's poisoned.
Antoinetta has a horrible epiphany as she is dying. Lucien ordered for her death. The man who had once given her a second chance at life has also just taken it away. What twisted irony. She might even chance one last chuckle at it, were she able to breath...
After Lucien sees his newly appointed Silencer off on their way, he begins the messy work of cleaning up the Purified Sanctuary. When he gets to Antoinetta... he numbs himself to the sight. What sick luck it is for his new Silencer to utilize the poisoned apples he'd given them, only for Antoinetta to take one? He sees the letter left on the table near her body, and reads it. It is full of sentiments he dare not process right now. He pockets it.
The next few weeks are a lonesome existence for Lucien. He contemplates why his Silencer has recently gone inactive after Lucien's initial contracts, and struggles with plans to rebuild the Cheydinhal Sanctuary as he copes with his losses. That is to say he scarcely copes at all; I personally headcanon Lucien is... well... Emotionally Constipated for lack of a better term. He does not allow himself a good cry. His venting is channeled through bursts of rage. He's frustrated his composure is spiraling down in the sewers. This whole arc going on behind the scenes is him basically going
Tumblr media
And Lucien realizes he can't really let go either, of Antoinetta in particular. He's sometimes compelled to reread her letter - the last words he'll ever have from her. He had cut off a portion of her shrouded armor's shawl before burying her and keeps it until her scent of cooking seasoning and dead things fade. Sithis, he even occasionally has dreams of their old trysts. Wait... he loved this woman and is dealing with... remorse? The audacity!
Then he discovers his Silencer has been severing the Black Hand; the Treachery didn't die with his Sanctuary. Lucien snaps. That crazed, livid Lucien we see during A Kiss Before Dying is the result of this revelation and all the accumulated anger and remorse he's bottled up over the Purification. And of course - we all know what happens afterwards...
Antoinetta and Lucien meet again in the Void. It's a bittersweet reunion. Antoinetta is hurt over his mistrust of her. Lucien apologizes - no pomp or excuses - and leaves it in her hands to decide whether or not she wants to forgive him for robbing her of a fuller life. They both mull over the circumstances of their deaths... what was and what could have been... but in the end they are bonded. Joined through the powers of the Void.

Which do the gun boys prefer more from master: Hugs, kisses, or both?
Hugs
Belga — He's horrendously squirmy every time you try, but that's more from excitement than any kind of discomfort. His favorites are big, tight hugs where you pick him up, and he can cling to you until you're ready to let go... if he'll let you put him down at all, that is.
Eins — In general, affection confuses him massively. He has virtually no concept of being touched for any reason other than physical maintenance or if someone's trying to hurt him. Hugs are a little easier for him to process, especially when they're fairly firm.
Fal — Kisses, even the platonic, affectionate kind, are intimate enough to make him nervous. Honestly, being touched at all does, but Fal just has to get used to that part. Quick, light hugs are a mild option that causes him a relatively minimal amount of stress.
Hokusai — Personal space isn't one of his strong suits, so once hugs register as something he's allowed and encouraged to do, well, that's his new way of greeting you! However, he's thinking more about pleasing you than if he particularly likes them or not. He does.
Mauser — He'll insist that as a weapon, he doesn't require affection from his Master. Just serving you is enough! But while he won't let himself dwell on the thought for long, Mauser really likes being held. Although, his preference is less "hug" and more "held on your lap".
Herme — On the scale of "forms of affection that make Herme feel uncomfortably human", hugs are on the lower end. They're still not ideal for his mental state, but it's good for him to face reality once in a while. He's the stiffest, most awkward hug recipient possible.
Springfield — You have to be gentle with him (a too-strong hug will leave bruises), but being held by you is almost guaranteed to end in Springfield sniffling back happy tears. Hugs, especially from Master, are calming and make him feel wanted. He really, really likes them!
Murata — If he's the one hugging you, it's less vulnerable-feeling than most other forms of affection. Still, grandpa at heart that he is, Murata is more fond of giving you headpats than anything— it seems to be his default way of showing fondness, thanks to Arisaka.
Kisses
F — It's easy enough to work with kisses from you. They're still far more chaste than he's used to, but at least he has some prior basis for how to react. Hugging him also comes with an unavoidable risk of agitating his scars, and all of the issues that follow that response.
Mikhael — Thanks to F's affectionate behavior, Mikhael is at least kind of used to kisses. They're very different coming from Master, of course, but a gentle kiss on his cheek or the back of his hand still feels less threatening than the personal space invasion of a hug.
89 — Despite getting horrifically flustered every time, usually with an accompanying comment about how he's not cut out for "gross normie affection", but he still really likes kisses! The nervous, bitter responses are his way of processing how overwhelmed he feels.
Love1 — Getting hugged means giving someone an up close and personal chance to feel just how fragile his body is, so Love1 would much rather avoid that! He's far more comfortable with big, exaggeratedly loud kisses instead— they're downright comedic.
Like Two — He'll never, never admit it, but kisses make his tsundere heart all fluttery inside. That part often makes him lash out at you when you try to give them, but his bright red face and the lack of real bite in his words give away that he's not as upset as he acts.
Arisaka — Rationally, he's fine with either one. However, he'll sometimes have an involuntary, panicked response to feeling trapped, and hugging him can easily trigger that. Thus, headpats (like Murata gives!) or quick, gentle kisses are a safer idea.
Gras — He's absolutely going to try to make them sexual! But beyond that, it's just easier for Gras to deal with something at least kind of similar to the kind of "intimacy" he's used to than things that feel... innocent. Still, he'll get agitated if you're too gentle with him.
Hachikyu — You'll worry you're going to make him pass out from anxiety every time you try to so much as kiss his forehead, but there's no doubt that he really likes it. Kisses are also a very effective way to snap him out of any self-deprecating spirals he winds up in.
Both
Ninety — Dogs are grateful for any attention they get, and Ninety is no different! Regardless of the form it takes, he's perfectly happy just because you're not hurting him. Your affection feels so good, he could never choose a favorite form... other than you feeding him.
Ghost — Any kind of attention you give him practically causes his brain to short out, but that's not exactly a bad thing. So long as Master remembers him, Ghost is almost pathetically grateful for anything and everything you do. Poor boy is very lonely.
Kirsch — Hugs are great because he can sit in your lap and snuggle up to your chest, and kisses are great because he can squeak all cutely and kiss you right back! He takes way too much pride in any affection you give him, and loves trying to make others jealous.
Like2 — He's not as tsundere about it as his counterpart (his love of being spoiled helps with that), but Like2 is still prone to getting highly flustered whenever you're sweet with him. Still, every bit of affection he gets from you makes him greedier for even more.
Parume — He's fine with whatever's more comfortable for you, really. You know he's adaptable, so it's up to you! Seeking out affection is never really his thing— it's not until he's already hugging you that Parume realizes he likes it way more than he'd expected.
Muku — Honestly, he's not equipped to deal with any kind of positive attention. Muku is mostly just confused when you're soft with him, but it doesn't make much of a difference what you do. Whether it's a hug or a kiss, he'll just sit there, perfectly still, and look confused.
Marks — It's Marks we're talking about; you already know that he's ecstatic about very literally any scrap of attention he gets from you. It doesn't matter what it is, he's in full "overexcited dog" mode just because you're interacting with him. Cute, yes. Also very annoying.
Siegblut — He's also so unused to affection that pretty much anything gets a major reaction. Siegblut is equally stunned and flustered by hugs or kisses, so you can't go wrong either way. He can hardly believe you're being so soft with him... it's weirdly nice???

The Truth Untold- Kim Taehyung |
Eight- action (1.2k) |
'Okay let's go over the plan one more time.'
'Right. So we'll watch the movie first, we'll sit, so it's Eun, you, me then Jimin so Eun doesn't try and stick with me. after the movies over ill suggest to Jimin that we should go home first, while I'm convincing him to leave you ask Eun if she wants to go out for food, after she agrees I'll text her that me and Jimin have left and that I hope you two have a good night. Got it?'
'Mhm got it.' the poor boys so focused on the plan he doesn't even realise the woman calling him over to pay for our tickets.
————
it's halfway through the movie and so far me and Jimin have talked far more than Tae and sun have. I get the movies isn't the best place to make small talk, but he could at least try. Getting frustrated I decide we need to recollect.
Tapping him on the thigh I mouth to him to meet me outside. 'I'm going to the toilet.'
Taehyung follows me out a couple of minutes later. 'What's up?' he questions.
'What's up? This whole situation was to prove to me that you've got a chance with her, and I'm pretty sure you guys haven't even looked at each other the whole day.' I sigh massaging my temple.
'I don't know what I'm meant to do.' he groans. 'We planned everything except what to do when I'm actually with her, and now I'm lost.'
He starts pulling his hair in frustration which makes me frown. 'Hey don't stress too much.' I remove his hand from his hair and hold it in mine. 'I know you want to make this work, but you've got plenty of time for that, one night of awkwardness isn't going to ruin it all.'
He stares into my eyes for a second and tightens his grip on my hand, that's when I realise I'm still holding it. coughing I retrieve my hand and take a step back. 'We should get back in there.'
————
The rest of the movie I tried to think of the best way to get Jimin to leave with me without it looking suspicious. Finally, I settled on embarrassing myself, because what man doesn't love to come to a damsels rescue.
'Ahh what the hell.' I whisper shout. At this point I realise I may not have thought my plan through enough, considering my white tank top is now soiled in whatever Jimin was in the process of drinking, and we'll we all know what happens when white fabric gets wet.
But alas I was committed to the bit. 'Y/n I'm so sorry.' I look up at the innocent boy with upset eyes. 'It's okay.'
Frowning I look back down at my top, it really was a shame that my top was ruined.
I get up to head to the bathroom praying he'll follow me like I planned. He does.
Tae is staring at me in confusion, but I just wink at him. Eun is also staring at me, a sharp look in her eye as if she knows what I'm up to, staring at my top I act like I don't notice her.
Jimin continues to apologise the whole way out of the theatre asking what he can do to show he's sorry. I soon get sick of making the boy suffer and turn to face him.
Putting my biggest puppy dog eyes on I pout at him asking for him to take me home. He happily obliges.
While he calls us an Uber I message both Tae and Eun. After a short conversation with Tae I know our plan is working well.
'The Uber is 10 minutes away.' he's looking at me, he really does seem apologetic.
'Please don't feel bad Jimin. It's just a top.'
'I'll buy you another. Actually I'll buy you 5 more of them.' he promises which makes me giggle.
'5 more you can ruin?' I question, not realising the double meaning behind my words.
He seems to blush at this. As much as I didn't mean what he's thinking I enjoy getting that reaction out of him.
'That depends on what you mean by that.' his eyes flit back down to where my top is translucent.
I don't mind his eyes but the realisation that I'm basically putting on a show for everyone who walks by makes me cross my arms in discomfort.
Jimin's eyes soften at this. 'Here take my jacket.' he shrugs it off of his shoulders and wraps it around mine.
Smiling I inhale his lingering cologne left on the jacket. 'It looks good on you.' he matches my smile.
————
Taes pov:
'Got it?' there's a slight frightening look of determination on her face, it makes me not want to mess up even more. I know this whole thing is to get me and Eun together but by how serious she's taking all of this it's making me scared to mess up.
———
I go to take my seat in the movie theatre before I feel a figure pressed up against me, trying to push past me. looking down I see no other than my wing woman looking at me like I'm insane, ah yes I'm supposed to sit next to Eun. How could I forget.
'I'm sorry' it's a gentle whisper, only meant for her to hear.
Even long after the movies started I could feel a strong sense of anxiety in the air. Probably radiating from me. y/n seem perfectly calm, even giggling at little quips Jimin makes. Something in my chest hurts at that, maybe it's because I should be like that with Eun. Right Eun. The plan.
It's not long until I feel a gentle tap on my thigh, looking down it's only then that I realise Eun's hand is resting on my thigh. When did she do that?
Looking up to y/n I watch her mouth to me to meet her outside. Once she's far enough I let out a sigh, knowing it's because of the lack of 'moves' I've been putting on.
'What's up?' I ask once I see her, and she might as well pounces on me by her reaction. It's almost cute if I'm being honest. How determined she is to make this work for me that is.
'What's up? This whole situation was to prove to me that you've got a chance with her, and I'm pretty sure you guys haven't even looked at each other the whole day.' I sigh massaging my temple.
Sighing again I try and sort my thought out before replying. 'I don't know what I'm meant to do. we planned everything except what to do when I'm actually with her, and now I'm lost.'
'Hey don't stress too much.' she moves her hand to remove mine from my hair. I hadn't even realised I had put it there until I feel the tension from me pulling at it fading. She holds my hand there, gently caressing it.
'I know you want to make this work, but you've got plenty of time for that, one night of awkwardness isn't going to ruin it all.' her voice is a lot gentler now. Her eyes a lot warmer, shiny even.
We stay there for a minute, just looking, until she coughs and pulls her hand away snapping me out of whatever daze I was in. 'We should get back in there.' her words echo in my head as she leads the way back in.
One night. Won't ruin it all.

William grossman: becoming a pasta
(also i mention my OC amari here but they're just friends and roommates here. No romantic things)(also this might be kinda long and I mention some stuff about my creepypasta AU so if you don't wanna be confused you can check it out!)
Like I mentioned in an old post, will and LJ went on a lot of self discovery adventures for Will.
It was always will's dream to become a popular killer like Jeff but sense he couldn't actually bring himself to kill someone, he would doubt himself a lot and would sometimes just be so upset or angry at himself
Will: maybe coming to the underworld was a mistake.. I shouldn't have come here...
LJ: come on bud! There's gotta be something here you're good at!
They had literally tried many things.
Will worked for a surgeon for literally a day before he got fired. He couldn't bring himself to dissect someone. Yes he had seen dead bodies before out on the street but he couldn't bring himself to be the one to actually commit to doing it
He also tried to be a bounty hunter/hitman but, ended up quitting immediately after he was told to kill a family
He even worked at a black market that was hiring someone to just care for the oragans they sold. It was going pretty well but, lets say it was will's first time seeing an actual beating human heart
Will: what else could I be good at?!? Everything here involves killing! And I can't even kill someone if it depended on my damn life...
LJ: you could still try for your dream of being a slender proxy!
Will: but being a proxy involves killing! Maybe I should just go back to the human world... I don't even have my mark! I didn't get a permanent smile like Jeff or red bleeding eyes like ben!
Amari: I don't have any cool marks either!
Will: but atleast you got skulls shapes on your eyes! I didn't get anything! Maybe I just wasn't meant to be here...
Amari hated seeing will so upset. She knew his dream was to work for slenderman, and obviously, she wanted him to achieve it. She got lucky and worked for him from time to time, so she was sure she could talk to slender and see if will had a chance.
How he met slenderman
Amari went to see her boss a few days later. AKA slenderman. She explained to him his situation and, he actually wanted to meet him!
Slenderman isn't judgemental like many in the underworld think he is. He can see potential in someone even at their lowest.
She obviously went to the apartment to tell will the good news
Amari: will! You aren't going to believe this but i talked to slenderman about you and....he wants to see you!
Will: what?!? Are you serious?!
Amari: yep!
Will: holy shit!! Let me take a quick shower then!
Will took a shower and once he was ready he followed amari to the slender mansion.
Once they got there, masky did the regular check for weapons on him (it's normal for them to check new people that go into slenderman's meeting room just to make sure of any weapons or suspicious items)
Will was calm but was holding in his inner fanboy.
"I can't believe I'm seeing slender's most valuable proxy!!! Holy shit!!!"
LJ wasn't all that excited sense he already knew pretty much every pasta and knew what it was like living in the mansion/manor.
LJ: "what a hassle...."
LJ wasn't really aware of all the dangers the proxies tried to prevent. He just saw it as a way to show off their wealth and to think they were better than others
Once they were clear, masky took them to the meeting room
Even if will wasn't sure if he could get a chance working with slenderman, there was one thing he was definetly certain of.
Get their autographs
No way he was gonna waste his visit to the slender mansion and NOT get their autographs.
Masky: you may go inside
Will: um....could i get your autograph please?
Masky: oh, yes
Will: yes!! *takes out a scrapbook he made* here!
Masky: *signs in* there
Will: thank you so much!!!
LJ: come on! You look like a dork!
Will: ok ok! And I'm not gonna waste my visit and not get their autographs *goes into the meeting room*
Once they got in they were immediately greeted by slenderman
"Glad you came here william, please, take a seat"
William was so excited by seeing slenderman in person but was also terrified about what he would think of him.
Will became really shy and nervous while talking
Slenderman: so i heard you were interested in working with me later on but you had a few doubts on your own abilities, could you tell me more?
Will: i um....*fidgeting with his fingers*
LJ: he wants to be a proxy but he has trouble actually killing someone. So we wanna know his chances of actually becoming one
Slenderman: ah I see, well I'll have to look at some other assets, do you have any school documents?
Will: *nods and takes out a folder with his school papers*
These kind of meetings were actually pretty common so slenderman already knew what to look for in school documents
Will's grades weren't that good tbh
He had many subjects he struggled with. On his report cards, pretty much every subject had D's and C's, and the occasional F's. Only is P. E he had a B.
Slenderman usually looked for atleast a B average
Though the only straight A's that will got, were in chemistry
Slenderman: I see you're proficient in chemistry, how come that's the only subject you get A's in?
Will: well um.... It's pretty much the only subject that I like....
Slenderman: may I ask what your under realm mark you for when you arrived here?
Will: i didn't get anything...
Slender seemed kinda surprised at his answer.
He opened up a locked drawer on his desk and took out a heavy book and went through the pages and stopped at one with a picture of a hand with lines
Slenderman: may I see your hand?
Will: uh... Sure? *shows him his hand*
Slenderman seemed really intrigued with will's hand.
LJ and Amari were extremely confused.
Amari knew pretty much the process of these type of meetings but when she was applying as an apprentice for slenderman, slender didn't ask to see her hand like he did with will
Once slender was done checking will's hand, he looked through more of his records
LJ: um.... So what do you think? He has a bit of potential right?
Slenderman seemed lost in though for a second but replied
"William, have you ever took any.... Magic classes or considered taking one?"
The three of them were surprised.
Like, magic? They knew that magic existed in the underworld but why would he think will would Want to study it?
Magic is a really complicated subject and depending on what element you were granted or want to control, it takes a lot of discipline and training and it is rarely recommended to the top students at the institution sense it was pretty much college level
LJ: why do you ask that?
Will: yeah I mean... I'm barely passing and I don't know if my grades are even good enough for me to graduate this year.
Slenderman: well i don't know how you didn't see this before but, look
Slenderman turned the book to their direction
LJ and amari were shocked
LJ: will you?!?
Will: *looking at the book and at his hand* wait....holy shi-i mean oh my god! I have powers?!
Slenderman: i looked through your records and i see you're part of the grossman family.
LJ: uh yeah he had a great grandpa but how does that explain this? He never had any sort of contact with magic
Slenderman: maybe not him exactly but, she did
Slenderman pulled out a picture from isaac's record folder (all demons and rulers from hell and the under realm have a record of their citizens) and pulled out the picture of a woman
Slenderman: she's ida grossman. Isaac grossman's great grandmother. She was killed for practising witchcraft. It would explain why will was granted magic here in the under realm.
LJ: sense he has this power, how come i never saw it before? I've been with him ever sense he was born!
Slenderman: well his power is still undeveloped sense he never had any proper training or took any classes. He has the mark on his hand but if he wants to actually use his abilities, he'll need to start practicing.
LJ now understood, and was happy for will
LJ: how can he start?
Slenderman: well,i have a proxy named sherry that knows about this, she could be will's tutor. Also I have been really interested in getting an apprentice with magical abilities but it has been difficult finding one, but if will wants to work with me then..
Slenderman took out an apprentice application
Slenderman: I could take him in as my personal sorcerer
LJ: well, what do ya say bud? Do you wan-
Will: yes!!!!!
Will didn't even think twice on his answer. Of course he wanted to work as slenderman's apprentice in magic.
He felt like his life had literally no direction but now everything was changing. He felt more confident than ever
LJ: do these classes have a price or somethin'?
Slenderman: it's usually 50 per class in a normal school but it depends if my proxy wants to charge for them or not sense she teaches them individually.
Will: oh....
Amari: ah don't worry i can pay for them!
Will: you don't gotta do that!
Amari: it's fine! You're my friend, we should help each other out
Slenderman: so I'm guessing that it's settled then?
Will: yeah!
Slenderman: alright then, I'll just need a signature of your parent or guardian on the application
LJ gave his signature
Slenderman: thank you. Well you're ready to go. All you need to do now is finish your last month at the institution and once you're done, I'll have amari bring you here again to start your training.
Will: yes! Thank you! Um one more thing, could I get your autograph sir?
Slenderman: oh yes of course!
Once slenderman signed his notebook they thanked him and were free to go
Who knew that will was more special than many thought he was.
I hope you guys liked this! I'll be making more parts!
Also i know will wasn't really developed in the Creeps comic so I kinda let myself create his character more.
Also this was inspired by a headcanon I saw where will was granted powers so I wanted to include that into his character.
