jeff the killer

-man stinks like the devils asscrack

-i touched on this before but he showers like once every two weeks or so

-his converse shoes are so worn down that he gets wet feet when it rains so he probably has another pair cause why tf wouldn’t he he isn’t dumb

-probably stolen military boots

-i think due to his burn scars his remaining hair is very patchy and stringy somewhat and he doesn’t have any lashes or eyebrows cause they burnt off completely

-i think he is low-key misogynistic but not bc he hates women he’s just an edgelord who likes making people mad

-i also think before he became a creepypasta (including the unusual strength/lack of vulnerability) his cuts were legitimately rotting. they probably smelled like decaying flesh and there was definitely some pus action

laughing jack

-also stinks

-i imagine it as a mix of burnt sugar and rotten flesh and like..moldy basement?

-most posts say he eats candy as far as i know but i think he doesn’t technically need to eat

-he probably eats his victims, little kids, their parents and their pets sometimes but just because he thinks it’s funny to see the remaining ones scream and cry

-he is double jointed since he technically doesn’t have joints at all so he folds himself when he’s in his box like a little package

ticci toby

-i feel like he is always portrayed way too nice?! like he literally hates people, he is severely mentally ill and traumatised PLUS he’s a killer

-i feel like he doesn’t have emotional empathy but cognitive empathy which means he can feel empathy but on a logical rather than an emotional level

-he is neutral about waffles

-i feel like sometimes his joints crack when he tics or sometimes he dislocates joints and his limbs just feel kind of stiff (to others this would hurt like hell but he simply can’t feel it)

-he probably has odd shaped fingers and bruises/ scars all over him cause he keeps injuring himself without noticing so his body just kind of grows back together in a strange way

Hysteria isn't a fucking thing

ok fun fact: I'm rapidly becoming a cult favorite doctor among our local privileged elderly white ladies, which I have mixed feelings about, but the #1 reason is that I just don't leap to "anxiety" as an explanation for symptoms unless the patient tells me "I am anxious, and then I feel these symptoms, and when I am not anxious, I don't feel these symptoms."

The sheer number of women I've seen who've been told for years to decades that the only thing wrong with them is anxiety is fucking staggering, in this Year Of Our Lord 2023, and I just keep digging. We checked a basic lab panel, sure. CBC. No anemia. CMP. Kidneys are fine. (Electrolytes are basically always going to be fine if someone is well enough to walk into my office under their own power to talk to me. Exception is mild chronic hyponatremia.) And we check thyroid. TSH and free T4. We check blood sugar. A1c, if the fasting is a little weird. Fasting insulin, if I'm still suspicious. We check cortisol. Inflammatory markers--ESR and CRP.

And eventually, if the symptoms support it, or right away, depending on my level of suspicion, we check rheumatological labs for abnormal autoimmune function. Anti-nuclear antibody. Rheumatoid factor. There's at least a dozen you can check, and which ones you should check is always a matter of debate and also of expertise that I 100% lack. We are out in the sticks. There are no "local" rheumatologists for me to send people to.

But a couple of weeks ago I found a woman--she has bipolar disorder and has been told for decades that's all that's wrong with her--who has an anti-centromere antibody titer that's fucking through the roof. I found an anxious 19-year-old with an ANA of 1:1380. And yesterday I found out why a sweet elderly woman I've seen for a year or two now started feeling crappy months ago: her rheumatoid factor is over 90.

Rheumatological disorders are always difficult. Our understanding of them varies from "pretty good, actually, and here are useful treatments" to "Well I Guess That Exists." Labs aren't always a slam-dunk and even labs plus symptoms can give you misleading impressions. Your immune system can decide that virtually any short chunk of protein is an enemy, and the problem with that is that your body is made up of many, many, many short chunks of proteins, so the odds that you'll develop some kind of antibody against yourself just keeps going up over your lifetime. Immune disorders tend to travel in packs; there's a clear genetic element to it, so the more first-degree relatives (parent, sibling, child) you have with any kind of autoimmune disorder (including Type 1 diabetes), the higher your risk of any kind of autoimmune disorder is, and if you already have one autoimmune disorder, you're at higher risk for developing another one.

But I think it's precisely because they're difficult that a lot of mainstream primary care prefers to pretend they don't exist, rather than try to sift through the utter fucking mess that is Mixed Connective Tissue Disorders, a title that has fallen out of favor since I learned it in my third year of med school. And women are at higher risk for autoimmune disorders than men. And older women are at higher risk than younger women.

So if I, as a family doc, just keep digging, just keep poking at the tangled knot of symptoms, there's a decent chance I will uncover something interesting. Hopefully something treatable. Sometimes we have nothing to treat with, and I just get to offer someone more understanding of their disorder, which feels pretty paltry but is better than the casual dismissal of "You're just anxious."

Never, ever, ever take anxiety as a diagnosis for a symptom other than anxiety. Not even as a rule-out. Keep those symptoms as an open question mark on the patient. Don't say "anxiety" just so you can close the door. And damn sure don't do it to women.

I'm actively working on learning more so I can be more helpful, in our Rheum-less community, so if you have good lectures or books, please drop me a lead.

Various CRPs x Reader who knew then before their incidents

Prize request 3/5 for @coldsushisworld ! I hope you enjoy!

Characters in this post: Jeff, Puppeteer, Eyeless Jack, Masky and Ben Drowned

Notes: Reader is GN! Some of these may be shorter or vaguer than others but that's simply because my brains is a little foggy on the details of things!

CW: Mentions of suicide in Puppeteers part, mentions of death and murder in.. well almost all the characters..!

MASKY

JEFF

Similar to Ben's part, you find out what happened. Your parents didnt tell you all of the details that happened the night Jeff went missing, and you'd later find out why when you got older. From the man himself, actually. I enjoy the idea that between the actual canon event of the source and my take hes mellow out.. just a bit, at least hes not going to take you down the second he gets the chance. It's been.. years, you thought he had died at some point actually. Hes loud and arrogant, but for one reason or another he trusts you. You havent turned him yet, and that's saying something. Sometimes things are just like how they were before; the two of you are joking with each other and sharing stories. You don't see him often due to him just.. dropping off and doing who knows what.. but he always comes back to you eventually

BEN DROWNED

You were both childhood friends. The day Ben died, you were told he had moved away. You didnt find out what happened until years later, when you started asking around. When fate brings you both back together everything feels. Wrong. Hes a ghost, and primarily confined to technology- currently hes worked himself into your computer, proving himself to still be the mischievous guy he was in life by subtly messing with your files.. but you grew up, and he didnt. Despite still being friends, there just wasn't enough for the two of you to relate to anymore. In a way it reminds me of Anohana (need to rewatch it but I recommend it). If Ben notices the rift he doesnt say anything

The terrible thing is that you dont know what happened to him. One day he was here and the next? Gone. On top of that, are you even aware that he doesnt seem to.. remember all that much about you? It's almost as if hes an entirely different person. Out of all the characters, your relationship with Masky needs to be rebuilt from the ground, simply because it didnt exactly exist before. You were friends with Tim, of course. To you, you're trying to jog his memory and do things you two have done before. To him, you look.. desperate. Overtime you do both grow closer but the relationship will never be like how it was before, and you're going to have to readjust to this new situation- though is that not the case with the rest of these characters?

EYELESS JACK

You had heard on the news what happened at his college. It looked like there was a massacre, and your friend was no where in sight. Even before Jack became eyeless, he was still.. closed off and reserved. However reunited with him he seems to have sunk deeper into that, even trying to get you out of his life again because of.. what was happening to him and what was changing. Your insistence almost breaks the both of you, but despite everything you manage to safely reenter his life. His new eating habits.. are something.. and that's assuming he even tells you.. he probably would, out of guilt for keeping it from you and just guilt in general for needing to conform to his new diet. It's very strained and tense for a long time in the beginning, even if you're the most open minded person. Jack's not going to let it be easy

PUPPETEER

You were.. friendly with each other before everything. But you weren't exactly all that close. Of course when you found about how he took his life, you felt horrible. But life goes on. You move on, and go on with your life plans... and you were doing good at that, before a figure appears in your room one night. Its terrifying, actually, and if it didnt start talking to you like you were an old school friend you would have tried to make a run for it. Maybe it was the shock that kept you in place? Of course, the figure was.. him.. he doesn't seem to recognize the name you knew him as, in fact you cant tell how much he actually remembers. He basically just invites himself to live with you, not all that bothered with the idea that you might not want that. Hes.. kind of a dick, actually, but hes charming enough for you to keep him around. Having conversations with him is interesting, as well. Hes usually respectful enough but theres some level of... sass.. that keeps you invested. Hes so much like how he was before, but also not. Hes still there but it's like hes been flipped on his head

Last night I watched "Take Care of Maya" on Netflix, which is a story of a young girl who was taken from her parents by the hospital. They didn't know about CRPS and it's treatments, and they assumed she was being abused because she was on ketamine.

Here's the worst part, the mother was accused of Munchausens by proxy, and was told by the doctor that diagnosed Maya, that if Maya wasn't treated correctly she could die. So being the one that was accused of abusing Maya, she killed herself to get her daughter out of the hospital. Maya was imprisoned in a hospital for 3 months and even though her condition worsened she was told by doctors and nurses that she was faking her pain.

It is a difficult documentary to watch and is incredibly heart breaking, but it highlights the abuses doctors and nurses can commit because they don't understand the diagnosis and treatment needed. Maya's mother was a nurse and documented everything. She was direct and insistent, and someone got offended and proceeded to ruin her life to the point she took it. And this has happened before.

I'm thoroughly sickened but I'm glad I listened to Maya and her story.

[crp-low-quality-content]

My blog is pretty dead recently, so I'll bring some random CRP headcannons:

No, just because they are killers doesn't mean they don't have tastes, hobbies and do normal human things. Even though they lost their humanity, they were once human and never stopped being so.

Most proxies hate Slenderman. He literally destroyed their lives and they have no choice but to obey or die. Except for the ones who follow him by choice.

EJ can eat the whole human body if he wanted, but he chooses to eat the kidneys because it won't cause much harm since despite him becoming a monster, there is still a trace of humanity in him.

The government in the universe of creepypastas has involvement with them, since there is no police or military service competent enough to catch the killers. What is just weird.

There are anomalies, killers and entities who haven't been catalogued before, these are the unknown creepypastas.

These things known as "creepypastas" have existed even before humanity itself. And throughout human history they were treated as monster legends that our ancestors told around the campfire.

Not all of creepypastas have to be necessary evil and sadistic.

The same way we make jokes about the quiet kid that have the chance to make a massacre in the school some day, the kids in creepypasta universe makes jokes about the quiet kid end up being a proxy or serial killer like toby.

People in that universe have tips to detect some red flags that indicate an anomaly or killer in case you end up in a relationship with them.

Not all killers look scary or have an appearance that shows that they are a killer, most of them look very friendly and humanly.

The parents in this universe teaches their kids to never trust clowns or anyone that is too friendly to them.

Ppl in creepypasta universe are more aggressive than here, because they literally live in a world with strange entities, super killers and monsters, they always have a gun or at least know a fighting tip. They also have trust issues.

This world is worse to live than here because you have to deal with the stress of life and have the thought that you or a loved one can be brutally murdered at any time.

I am RAGING! *triggers!!!*

I'm just finishing watching the Netflix documentary "Take Care of Maya".

I am so fucking angry at the system!

You can say, they were trying to do right by her, and there can be a couple of people involved that were! But Dr. Sally Smith, fuck you.

But Maya's mum, Beata, was the true warrior for her daughter's illness, CRPS Syndrome. It took them multiple doctors and treatments to get Maya on the right treatments and her illness bearable. But a hospital visit and one social worker fucked that all up. Causing Beata and Maya's dad to lose custody of Maya.

Beata was a nurse who, not only knew something wasn't right, but documented everything for the 80+ days that kept her daughter out of her care and hospitalized in John Hopkins All Children's Hospital. No doubt pissing off the doctors, social workers, judges and investigators with her countless questions and calls after her daughter's care, well-being, treatment plans. Accusing Beata of Munchausen by proxy and Maya of lying as well.

Sadly, the truth, that Maya does indeed have CRPS Syndrome, confirmed by an out-of-state specialist, didn't come until after Beata, disheartened by being kept away from her daughter and knowing Maya wasn't getting her proper treatment for her illness, for 87 long days, took her own life. The cherry on top, being denied giving her ten-year old daughter a hug at a custody hearing, the day before.

This fills me with such a raging anger. Beata did everything for Maya, the only thing she was guilty of was pushing and demanding to see her sick daughter and ensuring Maya got the correct treatment, so she wasn't in agony. It pisses me off more, knowing that more parents went and are going through the same thing.

Florida has a privatized child and adult protection system. Pinellas county has the highest case of child abuse victims being taken out of the home, mostly through Suncoast Center, who handled Maya's case.

lifeguard duty

warnings: a curse word or two, just the mention of men being creeps (because most of them are freaking creeps)

A/N: ALL PARTS UNDER THE TAG -The Byers Harrington Story-

 joe keery, i love your moles❤️

previous chapter  next chapter

June 18, 1984

It’s been almost two months since you were hired and became a lifeguard at the local community pool.

And it’s been about three months since working at Radio Shack with Bob Newby. He was an excellent boss, he was slowly teaching you new pieces of information that would help in making sure you’re able to perform your job properly. He had good little jokes he would throw out at random, sometimes they were somewhat bad, but that’s why they were rather funny. Also, Joyce was starting to visit the store more often, sometimes to drop off a snack on her break, or she would stay and talk with you when you were on your own. She and Bob were starting to get a bit closer, she would came to the store just to talk with him mostly and you would be in the front organizing items or the back going through the inventory, they were always giggling and talking in hushed whispers. It was a little weird at first, but you started to see she was happy when she was with Bob and that made you happy.

Working as a lifeguard was a bit worrying, one reason being that you are in charge of making sure people don’t die on your watch. So you had to take a CPR course and pass before you were hired, and man was that a bit tiring, but now you’re CRP certified, so that’s nice. Another reason is that your uniform was a skin-tight one-piece, so that means anyone at the pool could just watch and stare at you. You mostly tried to wear the matching shorts as much as you were allowed, but they usually wanted the girls in just the suit and the boys in the bottoms only. So that means this summer you are shaving a lot more than you usually do.

Anyway, besides those two concerns you have about the job, it was a relatively easy one. A lot of parents were in the water with their kids and watching them, young children were wearing floaties on their upper arms for support. The only thing you had to do was to raise your voice to remind people to walk and not run, or to tell some middle schoolers to watch where they throw things. Sometimes the party would show up. Since you mostly worked in the afternoons after Radio Shack, you would end up driving them with you if they wanted to go for a swim, or sometimes Jonathan would end up dropping them off. 

It was nice being able to watch them as they splashed the water at each other or the excitement on their faces when they were getting ready to cannonball and then bail making someone fall in on their own. You got to hear their childish bickering and you would smile just as bright, maybe brighter rivaling the sun, when you got to hear their laughs and giggles. They were getting to be kids again, they weren’t worried about anything bad in those moments and it made you happy for them.

Now another thing about this job, you were working with Steve.

You didn’t work with him all the time, it seemed like most of his shifts were in the morning and you would see him out when you clocked in. But you did have the occasional shift with both of you. Working with Steve…what’s the word? Working with Steve is very distracting, very very distracting and he probably doesn’t even know, or he does and doesn’t care.

When you shared the same shift you tried hard to not just gaze at him the entire time and remind yourself you were supposed to be watching out for drowning children. 

His skin was more tanner during the summertime, he developed more freckles and moles that scattered across his face and dotted around his body like stars in the night sky. You could see the way his thighs flexed when he was walking, and also how hairy he was getting. His thighs and lower legs were covered in dark hair and he was slowly developing chest hair, and oh boy. And the way his biceps would flex if he was moving something or carrying a heavy item or even just the way his hands would rest behind them when he crossed them over his chest as he rested in the tall white chair. 

And his hair, his freaking hair. It wasn’t styled with much product you guessed, so that means you were able to see his hair in its most natural styling. It still held the volume he always had, but it was looser, it flowed more in the wind. Curls would rest happily against his sweating forehead, the ends of his hair were growing out and they were slowly touching his neck and where his shoulders meet. You badly wanted to run your digits through the clean strands, maybe tug a little and see if he makes any sounds…

You had to remind yourself he wasn’t yours, he was Nancy’s, which means you would be a bad friend to her if you just openly stared at her boyfriend or thought about certain things when she wasn’t around, or even when you were in her presence. The two of you were only friends.

“Byers.”

His rich voice pulled your attention away from the growing crowd. You looked down from your seat on the high chair, your sunglasses slipping down the sweat on your nose, and peered at Steve who had his arms crossed and under his chin, leaning on the painted wood as he was squinting at you.

‘God, his biceps,’ you admired.

“Harrington,” you replied back in the same tone he gave.

He poked a finger against your outer thigh, “you look really good in the uniform.”

You felt your body heat rise in temperature with the compliment. You would have loved to give a flirty compliment back, but one, you weren’t very good at them, and two, you shouldn’t even be entertaining the thought of flirting with Steve. You already know he has a natural flirty air about him, it’s part of his charm he says. ‘He’s not flirting with you’, you reprimand yourself.

“Yeah, well, it's not always the best when it's a uniform that people could just let their eyes wander over your body. I sometimes feel eyes watching me when I walk around. It's creepy,” you let a shiver run up your spine.

“Hey, if you ever feel someone's eyes on you, look for them and then flip them off.”

You release a snort at his answer to your problem, “that would get me fired, Steve.”

“True, you know you could always come to me if you feel uncomfortable. I’ll keep you away from whatever creep is here.”

You peered back at Steve and he had a sincere look coating over his gooey, warm brown eyes. The more you stared into them the more you felt like you were melting, and not from the Hawkins summer heat. It’s like he had this certain effect on you, when he stared at you if felt like he was trying to look within you, as if he was trying to determine your next move. Like he was trying to map you out and memorize you, it made your insides churn at the notion.

You sucked in a deep breath through your nose, “that’s very kind of you Steve, but I’m a big girl. I can handle myself.”

You had to make sure you kept some type of distance. There needed to be a chasm between the both of you, because if you were within his grasp, you don’t know how much longer you would be able to keep yourself at bay. And also you didn’t want him to start thinking he needed to protect you from dangers, whether they be normal creepy boy dangers or supernatural dangers. It would be best if he didn’t put himself in harm's way for you, for your sanity.

“Hey,” he tapped your thigh again.

You nibbled on your bottom lip and looked back down to Steve.

“I know you can handle yourself, but I will be there for you, if you ever need me. Okay? I care about you (Y/n), I don’t want anything bad to happen to you.”

Again, he looked so sincere it hurt your heart, “yeah, thank you Steve. I usually don’t try and rely on people so…” you trailed off.

“Well what about Jonathan, or your mom?” he asked, a bit confused.

“Of course I rely on them, but it’s more of just a natural thing for me. I don’t want to be a burden for people, especially if they have their own shit going on. And sometimes when you get used to relying on people they could easily leave you, or disappoint you.”

It went quiet between the two of you after that statement. Just the noise of kids shouting and the lapping of the chlorinated water acting as white noise. The sun was still beating it warm heat down onto your bodies, but a cool breeze came and would caress your sweat slick skin, giving a moment of relief. You looked at the giant clock hanging by the entrance, having to squint against the sun and also just worsening eyesight, you barely made out the time.

“Well looks like my shift is up, see you later Steve,” you bid farewell as you stepped down from the chair.

You grabbed your towel and water bottle, slipped your sandals back on your feet and headed towards the locker rooms. You thought Steve would stay behind, but you heard the sound of his shoes walking just a few steps behind you. Only when you got near the snack bar did you stop and look behind you, Steve almost bumping into your back.

“Whatcha’ doin’, Steve?”

He gave a sheepish smile, “wanted to ask you something.”

Your heart speeds up just a fraction, “and what would that be?”

“I was wondering if you would be willing to wait an extra hour, and then we could go get some ice cream?”

You couldn’t help the grin that came upon your lips, “that would be an amazing offer, but who says that I would wait an extra hour just for you?”

Steve crossed an arm across his chest, and held the other arm out and pointed his hand at his chest, “well, I heard from some people that I happen to be great company, I really make time fly by. So I’ve heard.”

“Uh huh.”

“Come on, ice cream on me. Who would give up basically free ice cream?”

You tried to calm the racing of your heartbeat. You knew he wasn’t asking you on a date, you knew that. But your mind allowed itself to get its hopes up just for a sliver of a moment. ‘This is what it would feel like to get asked on dates by Steve’. Your chest felt warm from his charisma and charm. That million dollar smile played across his pretty facial features. Getting close with Steve was a dangerous game, slowly tipping into uncharted water for you, but who says you can’t handle that. You can handle Steve Harrington as a friend, a very charming friend.

You tapped a finger against your chin in a theatrical gesture, “hmm, I mean, I guess I could wait an extra hour for free ice cream.”

Steve smiled brightly at your answer, “okay, well you get clocked out and I’m gonna take over your spot. So when you’re done you come keep me company.”

You did a quick salute, “yes, sir,” then continued to the locker room.

This was good, you and Steve as friends were good. Maybe someone will come out of nowhere this year and take your mind off Steve, actually scratch that. Most guys in this town were shitty and its not like you could start asking around if any girls were interested.

Maybe your crush on Steve Harrington will just fade into the back of your mind over time, it kinda did the first time, who says it won’t happen a second time.

pretend i dont know anything about mitch (because i actually dont and was too scared to ask in dms) and please share everything you have about that man ?!

Ohmahat gawd I’m gonna OOGLE u

Okayokayokayokayokagokag.

Starting off canonically (typing this after hand — there was barely any canon it was just us yapping)

Mitch doesn’t have much lore to him in all honesty

Just the dude that got terrorized by eyeless Jack (nawt Jack Nyras whatever the fuck La mishi mishi named their twink ass version of EJ)

But like. . . Maybe it’s just me being an EJ irl or just how much Mitchell fascinates me for no reason at all, hands down one of my favorite “background” CRP characters to a popular/mainstream one.

To sum up the eyeless Jack story told in Mitch’s point of view

—> (quote)

"I was staring face to face with a creature with a black hoodie and a dark blue mask with no nose or mouth staring down at me. The thing that scared me the most was that it had no eyes. Just empty, black sockets. The creature also had some black substance dripping from its sockets."

Actual thing —>

In the original story, a man named Mitch moves in with his brother Edwin after his house is foreclosed. A week later, Mitch wakes up with a large gash on his cheek. After going to the hospital, the doctor reveals that Mitch's left kidney had been surgically removed overnight. Around midnight that night, Mitch wakes to see Eyeless Jack over his bed, wearing a blue mask with black liquid dripping from empty eye sockets behind the mask.

Mitch manages to grab his camera and take a picture before Jack attacks, clawing at his chest. Mitch escapes and flees into the woods, where he trips and is knocked unconscious. When Mitch awakens in the hospital, it is revealed to him that Edwin had been killed the previous night. His parents drive him to the house to collect his belongings. When he enters, Mitch sees Edwin's corpse and a small object lying next to it. He observes it find that it is his kidney with a bite taken out of it, covered in a black substance.

(Copy and pasted for accuracy)

——————

There is very little media of Mitch becuz the OG (the rake-like eyeless Jack / aka the “OG”) isn’t as popular as all the remakes (the most popular being the cult-sacrificed — Slavic son of Chernobog: and WW2 eyeless Jack)

But the ones that do (or even just barely hint at his existence) I EAT THE EFF UP

(Links) —>

(This one is so silly cuz the art tbh)

(The little dude doll is supposedly Mitch. . . Also I heavily think this has Hannibal references ?!!??!!??? Maybe I’m a little too autistic)

This I ESPECIALLY love omfg

And there are probably more out there but these r just some examples

—————

I guess I really like the fact that unlike other victims of different EJ stories (or just any slasher / CRP story) Mitch isn’t a complete dumbass and he fights and flights against EJ. Whether EJ psychologically tortured Mitch (as some alternate versions go) or not idrc I still find him so silly. . . AND HE DOESNT DIE ?? WOO HOO YOU GO BITCH QUEEN !!!!!

The media of Mitch that is out there indicates the man has either blonde or black hair , blue eyes , and pale skin.

My guy is most definitely in his 20’s (assuming he is mid - late 20’s) and while not having a canonical full name (that I know of) I’ve seen multiple sources saying it’s Mitch(ell) Harlan’s / start w a H?? Idk. EJ’s story is left to be a mysterious one that is easily bended to fit anybody’s creative imaginary. That goes the same way for Mitch as well.

I ALSO SEE ALOT OF PEOPLE SAY THAT MITCH IS EYELESS JACK WHICH I FIND VERY VERY COOL

if EJ doesn’t kill its victims, or they manage to escape, they fall under a certain illness that basically mutilates their appearances. ( not canon at all plz I just wanted to mention this )

(And yes I will be using it/its for ej cuz not only do I use it/its but EJ is canonically referred to as a masculine thing, “it” and creature 😒)

There is this sooper dooped cool artist on toyhouse, and while their eyeless Jack isn’t the victim (aka Mitch) and just happened 2 have the same night I still I love their interpretation of EJ.

Uhhh that’s basically it for “canon” wise and additional information. Dudes basically as much as a mystery as eyeless Jack itself andddd yeah I still love him and I think we can do just as much to his character just liek what was done w EJ

(I probably sound insane to anything reading this:) what is bro yapping about? Mitch was just a victim—— SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH let me live in my own littol world of mitches 😞

(Also had 2 hold back on yapping about my memories w Mitch bc I’d actually drive the tumbers on here insane)

Hello Dear Skippy !

I loved your old people post ! Today is my birthday - I am officially 63 yrs old. I say officially because for some reason for most all of last year I thought I was 63 and then someone would correct me and remind me I was 62.

I haven't agonized about getting older since my late 40s.. firmly believing it is a true blessing to get older because so many wonderful people are not given that chance. I will admit that I continued to color my medium to dark brown hair with blonde highlights until last March, I wish I had stopped sooner because now I have a few thick bands of my natural color bordered by areas streaked white and gray from about my ears back . Around my face, I have almost all white for my bangs left of my center part and on the right side my bangs are streaks of white, gray and my natural color and my hair from eye level down framing my face is whitish/blonde. I love mother nature's color choices better than anything applied at the salon !

At some point over the last couple of years, I have let go of a lot of the trivial issues that used to worry me. I do worry about ageing ... not getting older but ageing and how quickly 20 years can fly by - I would be 83. I worry about who will look after my daughter with CRPS and how my youngest is only 28 yrs old and how much I hope I am still around when he turns 60. That leads me to worrying about how much care I might need at 95 and then I tell myself to stop counting down the future and enjoy the moments I have now.

You are aware that sometimes my life gets very busy and often stressful with 5 kids and 4 grandchildren and extended family.. and I get tired and moan about needing some "me" time but I cherish every minute of it. Every day, I am here to be a mom, grandma, sister, cousin, aunt and friend is a cherished gift.

Truth be told - these days my most worrying thought of the day is trying to decide if I want to lose 10 lbs to better fit into my clothes or gain 10 lbs to better fit into my wrinkles.. lolol

A Very Happy Birthday to you my dear friend! I do understand losing or gaining a yr or two, now and then. I do it myself. I have to consciously tell myself how old I am.

Yes, you are so right, Mother Nature does amazing things with our hair. I did have Covid hair like the other anon mentioned. Then when I could get it coloured again, I went and had it done. It seemed to take forever, and then I decided I had no patience to sit in the chair. So stopped. I do get a “spit and shine” (as I call it).

Worrying about loved ones when we are gone. You know, I remember talking with my dad about that. He told me this…”when I am gone to heaven, God will make sure to keep things running down here for you”. Life will keep going when I am gone. God will have everything already figured out for everyone”.

I can remember asking my mom once in awhile….”what will I do when you are gone?”…..she would say..”you will be ok”. When she was in the hospital dying, one night I asked her “what will I do when you are gone.?” She said “I don’t know”. Well, when she said that I froze, it seriously scared me. Then I realized she didn’t know. She couldn’t know. Only God knew what I would do without her. After she passed, I felt her with me…I still do. My sister told me to “always remember whose daughter I am, because that is what will keep me going”. We can’t spend time worrying about our loved ones after we are gone. If we do that, it will take away the real pleasure we have with them. Fear of the unknown is sneaky. It can overtake us and paralyze us….we have to let it go, we have trust that God will take care of them, as he took care of us when we have lost our parents. It will be ok.

I don’t spend anytime worrying about clothes….if they don’t fit…it is the dryer’s fault. Wrinkles? No, I don’t do wrinkles. If you believe they exist…they will show up! They don’t exist in my mind. Not allowed! Love and hugs to you! Happy Birthday!

Oc rants again because I can’t stop talking about my Crp ocs.

(Mainly these two)

Lyna was from Louisiana then moved to the Bay Area. but her mother died in childbirth shortly after the move since she was 6 months pregnant when they just moved . And her brother Jean and sister Genevieve was born in the Bay Area. Her parents were/are morticians now her father is probably retired and her siblings took over. Genevieve and Jean dislike yueri now and it’s completely understandable why they dislike him. But Lyna was the “oddball” undiagnosed autistic girl that was a sweet kid growing up. She started her gothic and grungy looks at the age of 9 and her dad did not care. She wanted to be a mortician but obviously she didn’t because of her death at 16. Now Lyna liked urban legends which caused her to summon slenderman thinking “this is a joke” so she ended up dying as a result. And then her bf became a proxy because he got manipulated by slenderman and uses the possibility that he could bring her back(lies I’m pretty sure he can’t do that) and her ghost to make him stay loyal and it’s been 17 years. And Lyna is probably not happy. And she haunts yueri and yueri(her bf) dosent mind the fact that she haunts him. Even if it’s for once and a while.

Nika/Anita Hernandez

Nika is not ok now she’s 25. She never had a good role model in her life. She mother was terrible to her and her dad only for her dad to leave and not take her with him. Than almost get murdered by two murders after walking into a crime with her friends. Than lose her memory of herself and get basically adopted out of pity to said criminals. All at 12/13 so yeah her life was intense. Heck they lied to her(mostly rina and slendy)saying her friends stood her up. But she dose remember she had it bad and she believed slenderman “saved her” from her miserable fate. So I want to make when she is in her 30s is when she realizes I’ve been lied to. After finding her father and old friends who loves her and misses her.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: @taylorswift has truly changed my life.

I have multiple chronic illnesses that are painful and extremely debilitating. They include: Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy/Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (RSD/CRPS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Because of these diseases, I had to give up my dream of going to nursing school to become a nurse; I wanted to help people like they've helped me.

I have listened to Taylor's music since she first debuted in country music. Through all of the pain flare-ups over the years, the only thing that has gotten me through it (other than my parents and sister @nhett ) has been Taylor and her music. There have been so many times that I've wanted to give up, but listening to Taylor gives me a temporary release from the pain and motivates me to keep going.

Despite my disabilities, I refused to miss seeing Taylor in concert. I have been to most of her concerts in St. Louis, sometimes going in a wheelchair. POTS, in particular, makes you faint easily, and being in big crowds doesn't help. But seeing Taylor live was always something I could look forward to.

My dream is to someday be able to tell Taylor my story and thank her for giving me the strength to get through each day. I love you, Taylor! Forever and always! Thank you for all you do for your fans! 🫶

[the-s1lly-corner]

i don't know if this has been asked already but I'm pretty sure it hasn't but could I request slenderman with a daughter reader? (platonically of course) (please feel free to ignore this if it makes you uncomfortable, this is my first time requesting ANYTHING on Tumblr and I'm a lil nervous)

Platonic father!slenderman x daughter!reader

This one might be a short post- or maybe not! I think it's a known fact by now that I write these notes first and modify as needed LAMFKWKCRLG

Veru protective of you

Sure hes protective of his home and his belongings and has... some level of protectiveness over his proxies.. sometimes.. but it's a whole different level when it comes to you

Assuming the other parent isnt in the picture or there simply was never an other parent, hes going to do his best to raise you

If you're a slender being like him hes going to make sure your skills and abilities develop to the best of their ability as well as generally teaching you how things work (cough cough my zalgo headcanon) (cough for context its pinned in one of the crp masterlists in "other")

If you're human, hes going to keep a close eye on you to make sure you dont get hurt or sick- you're in the woods, there... arent many options for help out here

Obligatory masky hoodie and toby are like your uncles and sometimes keep track of you when your dad has to go do something- usually hes feeding

Carries you on his shoulders when you two are out and about, it makes it impossible for you to wander off and you totally didnt beg to climb up

Immediately shuts things down if someone or something tries to bring harm your way, probably the only time you see him get aggressive- or at least in the way that hes visibly seething and angry

SOBS you see his cheekbones raise when you go to show him a drawing or generally something you've made or found

speculations concerning genshin lore I thought keeping me awake at night

sharing because why not; mostly Khaenri'ahn stuff and a lot of Pierro

-why did the unnamed red-haired man in venti's quest cutscene turn on Venti sometime after Decaribian's fall? Is the red-haired man or Ragnvindr during the rebellion of Vennessa his descendant?

-who is Childe's master aka Skirk? Is she potentially of Khaenri'ahn descent or even a Royal Guard? Based on Childe's description of how strong she is, (it is stated she could literally beat him with one hand) I hope she becomes playable one day (plus points if she'll have purple eyes or white hair).

-who the fck is diluc's mom and why is she not named/ mentioned in any of the lore concerning diluc; are his parents divorced/ annulled? even his dad never talked about her.

-is Pierro and Kaeya somewhat blood-related? If so, is that how crps get a delusion?

-did he get that from taking in his son/grandson/nephew knowing the boy he's taking under his wing would betray him and his nation sometime in the future? Does Pierro have connections (as a fatui harbinger) to Crps beforehand?

-Did crps work for him and was high in the ranks to earn such recognition from the most powerful Harbinger to the point he was used him either as a pawn/ puppet to his schemes? Did he also warn Crps he'll die and he just accepted that because it was part of their agreement?

-was the underground organization Diluc potentially had people of Khaenri'ahn descent? stated in character story 4 that "The network was made up of volunteers, and many of its members had willingly given up their prior positions and reputations to join. Some had even abandoned their names"

-could these mean those of high-ranking guards/ royalties of the past like in Khaenri'ah used this as an opportunity to pursue their own goals and ideas in secrecy considering this is confirmed to be a third party and simply observes the events unfold on two sides of a spectrum? It is also underground, and KHAENRI'AH WAS AN UNDERGROUND NATION. (does dain know about the existence of this place??)

-Arlecchino established an orphanage (House of The Hearth) so was she an orphan before or even poor/homeless before being taken in by the Fatui? Since most of these orphans end up becoming fatui recruits are they used to help aid the Fatui's manpower?
