plotted starter for @betaofthedead for a Sweet Tooth AU!

Stupid... She should have known it was a trap. Who just leaves food lying out in the woods? But she let her curiosity get the better of her and she had to go see what the smell was, and from a distance she observed what looked to be some sort of packaged food. An ear twitched and turned, and before she had a chance to react someone had ran up behind and grabbed her.

The teddy bear that she was holding had been dropped on the ground, she screamed and kicked her feet as she was momentarily lifted off the grass. The first instinct was to bite; bite the arm around her chest and when she did the man yelled in pain and reflexively shoved her away from him.

❛ It fuckin' bit me! ❜ The man shouted, and as he did, the young hybrid tried to run — completely forgetting about her beloved stuffed toy in the moment. But she was stopped almost immediately by another. There was a group of them.

Again she was grabbed, this one laughing at his friend who was panicking over the chunk taken out of his arm. Quickly, he had something over her face, something that prevented her from biting; it was like some sort of make-shift muzzle for a person. He had her arms restrained and no matter how hard she fought him she just wasn't strong enough, all she could do was yell and cry.

{{ @betaofthedead  asked: “ you just cannot help yourself, can you?” }}

The words have the smaller man pausing before he gazes over his shoulder, blue-gray eyes sparkling with just a hint of rebellion and mischief. “Now that, darlin’,” he drawls, “depends on what yer actively accusin’ Ol’ Merle of. So care ta be more specific ‘bout today’s sin or do I hafta guess?” 

He’s sure it could be any number of things but he finds himself unable to help returning snark and sarcasm with his own just to be fondly bratty in return. So he gives the other a wide beguiling smile. “Well? This a ‘forgive me father fer I have sinned’ or ‘sorry daddy, I’ve been bad’ kinda moment?”

{{ @betaofthedead liked for a starter from Abraham Ford}}

There had been sightings and everyone was on edge. Things had been dicey enough that needing to keep the peace and protection was of utmost importance to everyone's stress and tension.

Holding the gun close, he keeps his steps as light as he can as he gazes carefully around. He's not sure what the issue was but he's sure that he'll know when he sees it or them. And to be fair, he's been itching for a fight for awhile so there is a part of him that hopes they are hostile.

Would be nice to work off some steam that standing on guard just didn't. His lips curve upwards at the edges. "Olly olly oxen free," he hums low, "C'mon, sweethearts, jus' wanna...talk a bit."

The Mun's Interpretation | Accepting | @betaofthedead

Negan's of course done things I haven't liked. The cheating and having a harem immediately come to mind. But it's part of his character, and if I had a problem with villains doing villainy things then I wouldn't love him so much lol. In terms of writing, I have issues with a lot of his storyline in season 11, namely the second half of the season. I'm pretty canon divergent in that area and don't even really like writing anything involving season 11 because of it.

There's some other interpretations of Negan I like and others I kind of can't stand, but everyone sees him differently (whether they like him or hate him) and at this point I just try to ignore the stuff I don't like and enjoy the stuff I do.

She wanted so badly to prove that he hadn't been wrong about her. That she was worth the time and effort he'd spent saving her, time and again. Defending her from the others in the pack. Putting himself at risk so that she would be alright. It startled her to realize that Molly wanted to make him proud.

In the efforts of doing so, however, she'd once again been entirely too reckless. When he growled at her, Molly had growled back. She bared teeth like a similarly wild thing, and stormed off. Nothing felt like it would be good enough. Never was good enough.

It was some time later that she managed her way back in the dark, tail between her legs. The mask is in her hands, because when she looks at Beta, she wants him to see all of her--exposed and open. She hoped that he might forgive her...grunt in his way and walk off expecting her to follow.

What she received instead was much, much more. The goliath had all but dropped to a knee to look her in the eye. Then, however briefly, his brow pressed to her own. It was gone and over in a blink, but she'd not taken a breath for fear of spooking him away. When he stood again, Molly blinked up at him, and offered a soft, sheepish smile. Forgiveness was only the tip of the iceberg that day.

❛  do i need to remind you who you belong to?  ❜ - @betaofthedead

It's not as if he talks to anyone much anyway. He hardly talks at all, before or after. The thing around his neck just reminds him, and everyone else, that he's not worth a whole lot anyway. He thought the other whisperers were indifferent before, but now he was aware just how they saw him.

It surprised him when one of them finally interacted with him after days of silence. He was eating alone, for now. Well, Beta had shoved a plate in his hands and left him, expecting him to eat. He hadn't touched a thing when a whisperer he wasn't quite familiar with sat beside him and didn't really speak. Rick tenses up at first, not sure what to expect, watches from his peripheral. But nothing happened. They whisperer did nothing. Just... sat there, and ate beside him.

For the first time in the last couple days, Rick felt some sense of warmth the longer they sat there. Nothing said, but nothing had to be said. The fact that someone chose to acknowledge his presence and sit beside him without any ill intent was enough to move Rick emotionally.

Then, so suddenly, the whisperer left. Scrambled to their feet and rushed off. Rick realized then that his eyes were cloudy, his hands were shaky, and he felt the faint warmth all at once disappear when the empty spot next him is taken by another, much larger body.

Rick blinks up at Beta, raising his head slightly for moment to see the brute of a whisperer glaring in the direction the other person had gone. The smaller man can sense his moodiness, as always, but it's worse lately. He can see Beta thinking and can't help but feel a little guilty, like he's done something wrong. That's confirmed soon enough.

Beta's glare soon turned on him and Rick shrunk, his shaky hands moving to his plate of untouched food.

"Do I need to remind you who you belong to?"

Rick blinks, brow furrowing as he sits there for a moment, his lips parting for his uneven breaths. Then slowly, he shakes his head, feels the leather around his neck rubbing his skin raw, and lowers his gaze to stare down at his plate.

#1 -

Rick and Lori married entirely too young. That became apparent when they had their first fight and both of them went home and slept at their parent's house and in their old beds.

#2 -

Rick is ashamed to admit it to anyone (but he doesn't hide it) that he threw up when Lori was giving birth to Carl. She had been pushing for several hours, and his nerves were so bad at that point that he had to rush to the trash can and throw up the little bit of lunch that he'd managed to get down. Lori had been able to tell that it was about to happen and immediately told him, "Don't you dare puke on me, Rick Grimes!" And pointed the direction of the attached bathroom, but he didn't make it that far. After that, is when she was rushed into surgery for an emergency c-section.

#3 -

Rick is good at explaining most things. He had to be because of his job as a police officer. He had to (more times than he cares to remember) tell some of the worst news of someone's life, but when it came to explaining his own feelings, he is damn near useless. He knows how he feels, but it's like his tongue is glued to the roof of his mouth with cement. That often caused an argument between him and Lori because she just wanted him to communicate with her. She could see how easy he was able to do it with Carl, and she never understood why it was different with her. It's something he works on daily.

@betaofthedead​ inquired: ✖ How has Tumblr RP changed since you started?

// For the absolute worse.

Back when I started RPing, people talked to one another if there was something going on. Nowadays, they just get “softblocked”. Because nobody owes anyone anything. Not even respect apparently.

There were way less cliques, people who found themselves to good to talk to someone outside their little group.

Way less people who had it in their rules that they “Don’t like to RP with OCs, but I can make an exception on a case by case basis”.

People actually read people’s rules.

There’s a reason I spend less and less time on the dash. Tumblr gained a bunch of hypocrites and children.

@betaofthedead asked: ( from betaofthedead. lil cody for whisperer/apoc verse ) “It isn’t safe here at this time of night.” 

"Shhh..." Cody hushed softly, one finger to his lips, just like he'd seen Beta do, and quietly pushed aside a branch, revealing a small camp at the bottom of the hill. Three people, likely traveling, were gathered around a dying fire, laughing to each other. They showed no sign of acknowledging Cody's and Beta's presence.

"Couldn't sleep, went for a walk," he breathed. He jerked his head towards the strangers. "Found them, now I'm waiting for them to sleep." He figured they'd have some supplies on them, even if it was only a little bit. There were only three of them, and he'd snuck undetected past more than that even before Beta had found him.

(from betaofthedead) Have you ever promised drafts but ended up secretly lurking on your dashboard instead? / Have you ever been intimidated by somebody based solely on their writing alone? / Have you ever mentioned another muse in a thread despite them not being in the thread? / Have you ever written a thread by just ‘winging it’?

Guilty As Charged - Mun Edition | Accepting | @betaofthedead

The promised drafts question was answered here!

I’ve definitely been intimidated by other people’s writing before. If I feel like their writing is way better than mine I get intimidated and afraid that I wouldn’t be able to compare or keep up. I wouldn’t tell them that though. Personally I hate being called intimidating and don’t see it as a compliment.

I’ve mentioned other muses in threads before but that mostly happened in my earlier years of RP, when the RPC was much more active, largely single-verse, and pretty much everyone followed each other and everyone was up in everyone else’s business lol. Back when dash commentary and daily banter was pretty much constant. Nowadays dash banter and crack RP is probably the only time it’ll happen.

And same with winging it. In the past most of my threads were done that way more or less and even now, I don’t mind winging small threads. Though I usually prefer at least a little bit of loose plotting and for communication to stay open throughout, especially with muns I haven’t developed much with yet. Any big, drastic, or otherwise important events definitely need to be plotted.

@betaofthedead -  “did you find what you were looking for?”

    Haq’rhá let out a loud, frustrated growl, and that even before the biomask had translated the human’s words. He threw a piece of scrap into the woods and muttered guttural words he knew Beta wouldn’t understand as he walked up to him, but it made him feel slightly better. The answer was ‘no’, if that wasn’t clear yet. He had turned the scrap yard upside down while searching for parts that could help him in his quest of repairing some of the malfunctioning technology, but no. It was just that. Scrap and junk. Fucking garbage, low technology planet. 

     He talked to himself while pressing a command on the computer housed in the wrist gauntlet, initiating a scan for any particular materials. Listen, he was not going to give up. And he’d keep Beta with him for company.
