twst (horror) tober — day 3 (sharp)

➤ Day 3: Sharp | “Careful, you could hurt someone with that.”

His father warns him of such as Silver hefts the practice sword with wide-eyed wonder, the weight of a budding world lying in the palm of his hand as his fingers wrap around the grip and pommel.

It is a plain thing— blade made of tapered, sanded wood held in place by a thick cross guard and rustic, brown leather-wrapped handle. The hilt has worn down over the years, faded where many a trainee wielded it with all the might of their deepest wish: to become a knight in the royal guard, to wear the emblem of their kingdom over their chest with untold pride and undying honor.

To Silver, it's the most beautiful sword in the world.

Despite his father's cautious reminder, Silver can see him smile faintly from where he stands, arms crossed in an attempt to hide his biased pleasure as his son takes his first step along the arduous path to share his mantle. His father may not be the most expressive man, but Silver knows where to look for his kindness, his love. They even match today— his mother had laughed so fondly at the sight of them at breakfast with their golden locks held back in place, dressed in similar training outfits that his father had commissioned the royal tailor to create, as Silver diligently reached for second helpings of every plate his father had selected.

"My most handsome knights," she had murmured, kissing his father on a pinking cheek and her giggling son on the top of his head. "How well our people will sleep tonight knowing that they have the two of you to protect us all."

His father gestures to a training dummy with a breastplate and pauldrons of armor already assembled, the dull sheen of metal beckoning in the mid-morning sun. A buckler of hammered steel is held protectively before it, and Silver's heart leaps into his throat at the sight.

"We've sparred with batons enough," his father continues in that same patient tone, all the time and peace in the world to train his only beloved son. "I think that it is time for you to test your hand against what a true opponent would use to block an attack. Your swing needs to be able to withstand a shield rising in front of you, it would not do you any good as a swordsman or a knight to lose your blade in battle because you could not keep a grip on it."

Silver nods solemnly in agreement; it is not mere prattle that his father speaks, he did not become the foremost knight of their kingdom, their realm, by negligence and sheer luck alone. Chest brimming with the joy of knowing his father deems him ready for advancement, has seen the diligence and dedication of Silver's daily practices, he turns to face the dummy, readying his wooden blade.

The faceless straw head stares impassively back at him as he judges the distance between them, the weight of the sword in his hands, the force of the impact he ought to carry through in order to dislodge the shield without injury. Silver can feel his father's gaze, warm with silent pride, resting like laurels over him, invisible in its comfort and steadfast in its praise. He can do this.

He readies his stance, the lightest touch of a summer's breeze lifting his fringe as he all but feels the rushing power of young muscles tensing together to propel his swing—

And drops the sword in shock, hands stinging from the impact as it clatters painfully off his shin.

"Silver!"

Within an instant, his father has rushed to his side, those auroral eyes so identical to his own flush with concern. Calloused hands gently take his own, flipping them over with care and searching his body for bruising, but Silver all but brushes them off, babbling incoherently with a fright so innate, he cannot remember where it emerged from.

"I—I saw someone! Father, I— I know I did, they were standing just behind you!"

For his credit, his father does take a bemused glance behind himself to the empty practice field, but it is simply just that: a desolate training ground that he had ensured would be free of guards and servants for the quality time of training his son.

"Silver, I . . . I do not doubt that you were concentrating, but perhaps it was merely a shadow of a bird? You know how they often enjoy gathering here to watch you spar, are you certain it was a figure that you saw?"

He cannot stop the trembling of his fingers, the bone-deep curdling of his blood. His father soothes a hand through his hair, tucks him into the warm safety of his side, and wipes away the shaken tears that have begun to spill from his eyes, murmuring sweet nothings that have no effect on his reeling nerves.

He knows what he saw— the figure standing behind his father, clad all in shadow with emerald eyes gleaming like the jewels in his mother's crown, pitch-black horns spiraling to the sky.

And clasped in their long, thin fingers, dangling like a noose from blackened talons— his father's necklace, the ring glinting like a warning in the suddenly cold summer sun.

Hmm... *thinking out loud* what if Dia was some sort of priestess or temple maiden when she met Theseus and that's why she was still unwed at that point in time...

#📜 muse's voice #Not being 100% historically accurate (bc thinking about how young ancient Greek women typically were compared to their husbands #Makes me wanna jump into a volcano) so I'll say Dia was Supposed to have been married at 18 but to avoid it became a temple maiden #Probably to a more obscure local deity...hmm... Now I'm thinking about my OC Corymbus... A foster sibling of Dionysus #He could be of some use here. Anyways 🫶🏾 #🌺 nymph of the happy fields (dianthus)

[maladaptivedaydreamsx]

do you think every time mc sleeps with the english suitors (arthur/isaac/will) someone yells "the british are cumming, the british are cumming!" 🤔

#i was gonna make this joke about ikevil for obvious reasons but it's not the British that *say* this line historically so uuhh close enough #this might not be entirely accurate cause i think arthur was . #of irish or scottish descent.. but born or raised as an englishman so eehhh. it's an ikevamp adult humor joke. we'll live my um actuallys #ikevamp incorrect quotes #ikevamp #ikemen vampire #i mean that was like what 1776.... doyle and dazai were some of the latest in history there i think..? eh im thinking too much now lol #my post 📫 #aerin.txt #memery #tldr the bri'ish are cumming #l'hôtel.ikevamp

[chiropteracupola]

sometimes you start to wonder what the historical record for the guys you made up looks like in the fictional world where they existed. and then you make some fake documents about it.

#em draws stuff #oc time again hehe #moth and compass #the lieutenant: chadwick goodfellow #the cannon spike: matthew worley #Get Wikipedia-ed! [my writing style is not very good but you'd best believe that my typefaces and colors are as accurate as can be] #do not really like the way that semi-realistic older matthew turned out but I was tired of looking at him. So. #genuinely very proud of Poorly Scanned PDF Goodfellow though. fiddled around with textured eraser settings for Hours and it was Worth It. #anyway now it's FUNFACTS time! since this is of course not the only lore that there is on these guys #but just what one might find if you tried to research them now in m&c-verse #as we are in the timeline where these are just guys from mine and nat's heads there is More That Can Be Said #such as that the drawing of goodfellow in that article is copied from the second portrait of him #and if you've been paying attention to previous goodfellow drawings you may have seen it! #I've also previously drawn the midshipman miniature and it's around somewhere as well #also matthew + faith + george were all in a relationship while george was alive #but too few of their letters survive for wikipedia editors to confirm that :/ #I feel.

[ofhope]

After spending some brain cells that I'll never get back, I've finally nailed down my character type: the “dumb” ones that people write off as comedic relief, but have tons of depth to them if you just... glance at them for more than a second.

#Galo's 'dumb' and claims to be such; but works on advanced machinery and studies historical aspects that bring him interest #and is able to recite them without so much as a stutter. He knows how to use whatever without much instruction and knows whenever he can or #can't handle something. He knows when to stop; and knows when to tell someone else to; too. #Kanji is 'dumb' but knows how to crochet / knit / etc.; and is quick to think up an answer [he was the first person to suggest #the group put on their glasses in the real world once the fog appeared]. #Chie is 'dumb' but knows the names of several moves and studies them accordingly; not sitting down until she gets them perfect. She also ha #a lot of emotional maturity that shows up in dire times. #Kaito is 'dumb' but knows a lot about science and of course the stars; the galaxy. Although Shuichi tends to lead the trial he does come up #with some proposals here and then that actually hold a surprising amount of evidence toward them being accurate and/or close to it. #BLAH BLAH BLAH I'll zip it now! I'll reply to DMs in a bit; goodnight folks. #ooc. #Thank you for dealing with my ramblings. <3

historical fantasy au wip -

The Divine Heir leaps out of the chariot as it clambers along the paved mountain path, much to the chagrin of his attendants.

He lands barefooted on the stone, light as smoke, and then he leaps again, down the fragmented cliffside. His pale robes flutter behind him like wings as he falls through the air. The cloth draped over his white hair like a veil, shrouding his eyes, drifts up as well. For just a breath of a second, the veil lifts, revealing a flash of such vibrant, otherworldly azure that it would surely leave any caught in his gaze stricken and reverent. 

As if reality itself bends to his will, he somehow lands soundlessly on the very same path, only 100 meters below, closer to the base of the mountainside. The cloth drops over his eyes once more, hiding them from the unworthy.

He strikes a pose, raising one arm to the heavens and the other before him in a mock Western half-bow. The sleeves of his robes are long, and drape over his arms in layers of fine silk, so white it’s practically translucent. 

“Hear me, beautiful people,” he declares, one to talk. “Pure as snow, blessed by the gods themselves, the Gojo clan heir bestows you with his divine presence!” 

Having watched him fly through the air, Geto hardly bats an eye at the Divine Heir’s – that is, Gojo Satoru’s – sudden arrival. “Giving your procession the runaround again,” he remarks dryly and, as if by invocation, the beleaguered cries of “GOJO-SAMA!!!!!” echo in the distance above. Satoru flashes him a grin, cheeky. 

Next to Geto, perched atop a stray boulder that had tumbled near the path, Shoko is similarly unimpressed. She takes a long drag out of her kiseru and blows it in Satoru’s general direction by way of greeting. 

“Want some dango?” she asks in her sleepy sing-song voice. 

“You dragged snacks all the way up here?”

She holds out an empty palm. “No, just askin’. I don’t have any money.”

Satoru drops his arms. “Ehhhhh ? I don’t carry coins in ritual clothes, though?”

Without missing a beat, Shoko and Satoru turn expectant stares towards Geto (Satoru’s is apparent even with the cloth covering half his face). 

Geto flicks his eyes up in a half roll, but a grin still creeps onto his face. “Yeah, yeah, let’s go before his Divine Holiness’s core guard figure out how to scale a hundred meter drop.”

He and Shoko had been following the procession from a humble distance for a reason. Naturally, the likes of Gojo Satoru, first Divine Heir born in centuries, can easily defend himself. But it still eases the Elders’ worries to assign guards to someone so fate-shattering. 

Of course, their worries only grow since their precious Divine Heir has a tendency of playing renegade and heeding the call of his own whims.

Satoru hadn’t always been this reckless, Geto has been told. As a child, he had been more cold and withdrawn. It’s hard to imagine, watching him mess around, dirtying the pristine robes meant for a highly prestigious ritual he’s currently skipping out on. 

Geto is more than happy to take him away from this anyways. He calls upon his rainbow dragonslkfjd;lfkjljs;dfkggdrf,mg

#stsg #WIP #gojo satoru #i just had a thought that gojo back in the day would've been treated like riko. like a relic or a tool to be contained and used #Something something the divine heir is slain by a crow-haired mercenary who had a young child in tow. #but bathed in blood gojo rewakens. and this makes him attractive as a tool for warfare to some and too dangerous to live for others. #maybe dark lord sukuna is brewing up something nefarious idk. i kind of want uraume to be there so they can be like #“yes sukuna-sama <3” to him and like “MIND YOUR TONGUE INSOLENT CUR” to everyone else #anwyaysljsldkjsdlk;jflk this isn't supposed to be super historically accurate or anything it's just a fantasy verse i've barely begun #i just have famously poor stamina so want to offer what i can for now

have to cut the tax fraud joke bc this fic has somehow gained a real timeline and i know when things are happening and it's may. how did i get here

#i really said 'i won't pick a year it's all spring/summer vibes ambiguously 2010s' #and now i'm like it's 2014. it is may 27th taxes have been filed by now #in case anyone was wondering when tax day was in 2014 it was april 15th #anna's fic notes #some parts of this are historically accurate. meaning that fridays are on fridays. the rest of it is made up world #it exists in perfect harmony to ME

Im reading the king must die rn upon tumblr recommendation and i cannot figure out my feelings on it. did anyone else read it what were ur vibes

#it did make me realize how there are so many threads (haha) that make up fairly well known folklore/myths #like to know the theseus story i also hadto know the mintoaur story at some pt #and then theres theseus’ fights with various big bads like the pine tree stretcher dude #and then icarus crosses into that via labyrinth of course #and ariadne& dionysus as another offshoot etc #overall tho. i think im intrigued by reading a myth adaptation that isnt bad YA but i honestly have no clue about how historically accurate #some of the stuff is and i feel like if its not accurate some of its sus as fuck for someome to be making up idk #like. sometimes im wondering if these are supposed to be historical perspectives or its just from being written in fifties #i do like how the incorporation of godly signs and such is so smoothly incorporated like u can really see how someone would be following #this in their daily life beyond like big rituals and myths we know now

[lopsidedtreetrunks]

Despite my back pain lately, I've managed to doodle a couple more Ghostalia character sheets! This time for Matthew and Antonio. When I'm able to actually sit down at my desk again I'll finish these digitally but for now, this is what I've got 😅

Matthew:

He's in Humphrey's role, meaning he's a Tudor nobleman living in his family estate with his arranged French wife who hates being there. I wanted him to still somehow be from Canada despite the nation of Canada not actually existing yet. Therefore I researched a bit and found that Newfoundland was being explored by the British (or at least, the Italian John Cabot went there under the order of King Henry VII) in the late 1400s, so I thought I'd go along with that. Having his parents settle in Newfoundland for the first few years of his life before coming back to England to inherit the estate.

He was still forced to marry Adélie (Monaco - in Sophie's role), but since everything is set roughly 40 years earlier than BBC Ghosts canon, the catholic plot didn't exist and, indeed, Elizabeth I wasn't even queen yet (but on a plus note, massive ruffs weren't quite in fashion yet, so I don't have to draw any heheh). Through a little bit more research, I discovered that Henry VIII declared war on France in 1544, which matches up more or less with my timeline. Adélie plotted against him for going to war with her country and this is what got Matthew killed in the same manner as Humphrey.

Originally, I was going to have him be unable to read because his body had his eyeglasses, but then I discovered that there were glasses in Tudor times that would pinch your nose in order to stay on your face without having to hold them up (I can't even imagine how uncomfortable that would be to wear for any reasonable amount of time 😭), so I thought he could have those instead.

Antonio:

He's in Pat's role, and I didn't really need to change all that much about him. I think Toni is the perfect person to be a scout leader so he just slots in really nicely! It's the 80's so I gave him a mullet (obviously). I was umming and ahhing about keeping Pat's moustache on him, and I've decided I think he suits it, as well as the aviators.

He was born and bred in Barcelona, and met Bella (Belgium - in Carol's role) when she was holidaying there in the mid-70s. He and his best mate Tiago (Portugal - in Morris' role) were at a disco/dance hall and met Bella and her friends; a holiday romance ensued. Which may have accidentally ended up with Bella pregnant with Toni's baby (oopsies). Antonio felt that this was a blessing in disguise (ever the optimist) and he proposed to her not long after she told him she was pregnant. Antonio ended up moving to England to be with her. Tiago would visit regularly, as well as them visiting him, but he ended up moving to England too a few years later.

Antonio was already a scout leader in Spain, so when he moved to England he naturally fell into place in the English scouting troupes. He's always been great with kids which was something Bella admired about him. Unfortunately, he died when his own son Marc (Luxembourg - in Daley's role) was only 8 years old.

#you can probably tell my back is affecting my art bc of how Shitty some of these doodles are bxjsjs #but im trying not to tell myself off for that 😅 #bbc ghosts #hetalia #aph #hws #ghostalia au #hws spain #hws canada #antonio fernandez carriedo #matthew williams #yes toni is doing the macarena and yes i KNOW thats a 90s thing but DO I CARE #the answer is yes but also i thought it was funny anyway 😭 #my need for things to be historically accurate will be the death of me someday 😭 #anyway i thought at least a couple of these doodles were cute enough to warrant posting them now #since idk when ill be able to use my computer again yet #hopfully soon - this bout of pain is slowly getting better but it still hurts a lot in certain positions #those positions beong hunched over a drawing tablet in a seat that has 0 back support bsbsjjs

[warmmilk-n-honey]

just watched Alias Grace and, what do you mean the 1840s sucked for women and poor people and Irish immigrants??

no but I srrsly enjoyed it, def recommend it to my fellow kuro victorian era nuts if you want something kind of depressing that will make you feel rage for the female characters, oh and if you want a morally ambiguous female lead who is based off of a real woman who may or may not have been a murderer but was definitely an accomplice to murder, also they call her a murderess in the show which is so slay

#can't tell how accurate the 1840s costumes were since I don't know much about 1840s fashion but I can say there were some good bonnets #which is always a plus #tho they didn't do those face framing curls that I see on fashion plates from the era which is disappointing I feel like period pieces rlly #hate proper historical hair for some reason #like even the wealthier women who would have wanted to keep up with trends didn't have it #it's 4:00 am and I should rlly go to bed now lol #victorian era #historical drama
