#things that go ‘bump’ in the night

[hp-shippy-prompts]

Prompt:

It’s not uncommon for the orphans to have nightmares, or to be frightened in a seemingly empty room, or to simply disappear in the night. The orphanage caretakers say the missing child must have run away, or snuck out and gotten caught up in the air raids. Tom Riddle knows the truth.

There’s something in the orphanage, something that feeds off and perpetuates the despair and darkness that engulfs the building and its residents. Tom has seen it, a shadow in the corner of his eye. He has heard it’s rasping breaths, felt its sharp spindly fingers scratch over his shoulder as it ghosts behind the line of orphans, choosing its next victim.

When he was younger, he tried to warn others when he saw the monster stalking them, but that only made the ostracise him, blaming him for the atmosphere, for the nightmares, for the disappearances. Tom tells himself not to care about the others, focusing instead on protecting himself, letting others fall victim to maintain his own safety.

But strange things happen around Tom, bullies that trip over air, books he accidentally drops floating back to him, snakes... snakes that whisper to him... warning him away from the nest of sharp teeth and broken bones...

And the more these strange this happen, the more the monster seems to notice Tom, until Tom knows it’s chosen him as it’s next target.

Okay okay I agree with everyone talking about the possibility of Pluto finally getting to go to France and meeting Duke in one of his shows, but I now raise you: What if they met BEFORE and Duke was actually the one to tell him about France and the lights and everything. What if Duke were the reason he wanted to go there in the first place. What then.

#imagine if Duke at some did a tour or something and stopped some time in London #and they met there for some random ass encounter #also Pluto seemed pretty much more kinda angry and jumpy bc of the whole living w his father thing obviously so they’d probably have+ #+the messiest first(s) encounters ever w yk Duke being naturally sassy n silly and Pluto in that fucking place just done w everything #bonus points if they at first kept bumping into each other comically coincidentally and they get practically destiny forced to get along #more bonus points if they end up meeting at night on some random ass rooftop and bc of this Duke starts calling him cat #aka the REAL origin of “mon minou” #imagine if Duke invited him to go there w him or something GOD the possibilities #I just kinda fucking created a whole fanfic here fuck don’t mind me I’m being delusional #almost everything in this is 99% impossible but I hate reality I don’t care #nevermore webtoon #duke nevermore #pluto nevermore #pluto x duke #pluke #cat in the hat #SOMEONE NAMED THE SHIP THAT AND I LOVE IT SOSOSO MUCH IM USING THAT FOREVER

#lemme barf a little in the tags but like. the way he doesnt notice anything until trent actually touches him #at that point he becomes aware of not only his surroundings and his friends but also his pain. see the hand going for his jaw and the wince #the minimal celebrations. how the best friends. who are known for hugging. only fist bump him. i'd expect this from hook #but not from chuck and trent too. also also the look they exchange behind ocs back? YEAH #and as someone pointed out oc came in with the backpack but left without it. i'd say thats normal he usually does leave with just the belt #but also. hes so fucking enthralled by that thing that he doesnt wanna hide it. he needs to carry it away in his hands himself #hes not right and its intriguing and hot tbh lmao #anyways thats all. im just thinking a lot right now mmmm #orange cassidy #trent berreta #chuck taylor #rocky romero #hook #aew #all elite wrestling #aewedit #wrestlingedit #wrestling #night gifs #best friends #trent? #my beloved #shitposter greg #sweet little clementine #(rp blogs dont reblog; saving and other personal use with tag credits is fine)

Dean, whispering to the Angel in bed beside him who literally cannot sleep: Cas. You awake?

#i just had this image in my head #cute domesticity and cosy middle-of-the-night conversations in bed in hushed whispers #even though theyre in their own house in their own bed #but its like you speak quietly when the room is pitch black #because you dont want to break the quiet cosy nighttime bubble #and Cas literally doesnt sleep but he closes his eyes and he basks in the warmth of being close to Dean #while hes so vulnerable and sleepy and cuddly #and getting into bed with Dean is his favourite thing to do in the whole world #even though they do it every single night #anyway where was i going with this #its just that theyre so SO in love #and they deserve these sweet quiet moments #Cas nuzzling into the back of Dean's neck like Yes Dean Im Awake #and Dean goes on to tell him about how he forgot to say that he bumped into Mr Jenkins at the store earlier #and he gave him some pumpkin seeds to plant #and theyre still in the pocket of the jeans he wore earlier (that are on the floor somewhere) #so dont let him forget to take the seeds out before the jeans go in the laundry basket #and Cas with total solemnity is like I wont. and says that when the pumpkins have grown they can make pumpkin pie #and Dean snuggles back into him and says I love you on a sleepy sigh as he drifts back to sleep #and on that note goodnight tumblr #dont mind me just writing drabbles in the tags instead of sleeping yknow the usual #pie says stuff #destiel #destiel headcanon

Roddy's Ghost Adventures

The Rake: This is the first video Rewind stumbled across after finding something called "The Dark Web" when searching for media for his crew mates. The video is distorted, corrupted, everything inside it is hard to make out or understand. All Rewind can gather from the feed is the panicked screaming of a human and glowing, yellow eyes. He does his best to clean up some of the feed but there are strange viruses lurking in the coding Rewind doesn't want to get anywhere near. He thinks he sees a forest, a house in the background, and a sign reading "Warren Park Trail, Montana." Then the video just ends. Abruptly. He took a moment to contemplate the recording before reading the caption.

Locals spoke of a creature known as "The Rake," a nightmarish being with sunken eyes, elongated limbs, and razor-sharp claws.

Legend had it that "The Rake" was once human, transformed by dark experiments or supernatural forces. Its first recorded appearance was in the late 1800s when it stared hauntingly at a family before vanishing into the night.

As years passed, more encounters were reported, each describing the creature's ability to appear and disappear, leaving behind an aura of dread. Witnesses spoke of its featureless face and guttural noises, claiming that even a brief encounter could plunge a person into madness.

Rewind snickered. This was ridiculous. They'd been on and off earth enough times they would have known if there were any humanoids outside of humanity by now. Some sparkling humans must have just gotten bored.

He ignores the twinge of discomfort ringing in the back of his processor and shuts his vocalizer off just in time to stifle the high-pitched yelp clawing up his intake when a bright yellow hand lands on his shoulder.

"Hey Rewind, whatcha got there?" Rewind turns his helm to stare up at his captain. Slowly, a smile spreads his lips behind his facemark. Oh this.....this will be good.

Log 1

Bots along for the ride: Rewind, Rodimus, Drift

Location: Warren Park Trail, Montana

Subject of interest: Urban Legend - The Rake

Notable Mentions: The air here seems....heavier. Shadows seem to somewhat defy sources of light. Rodimus has taken it upon himself to "Flame up" so everyone can see where they place their pedes. Drift's headlights help but they don't seem to penetrate the strange blanket of darkness. Walking around tonight in search of this legend has proven fruitless. Perhaps this is the first he can strike off the list? He will have to wait till they were back on ship and he had a moment to himself before he can review the feed. He's going to have to do a lot of tweaking before the video is comprehensible.

Here is the rendered photo without the drawn on Video Cam.

This is the first installment of my new mini-series. I am so excited to finally post this, I've had the rendered photo done for a while now and was just waiting on myself to finish up the companion comics.

This literally was entirely inspired from solely two things.

1.) As I was sketching Roddy for practice, the song "Dumb Ways to Die" came up on my for you playlist on Spotify. This kinda put in a little seed of sorts.

2.) My brother is starting to get into art and we often go to the cafe together to practice. It's great being able to have a critique buddy right there as you're working together. On the day after scenario 1, him and I went to the cafe and I had been practicing landscapes. My intent had been to make a fairytale like environment. I showed him, we looked at each other, and both stated. "Yeah that's haunted." It's like a light bulb went off in my head. A very very insistent light bulb.

And thus, "Roddy's Ghost Adventures" has been born! Stay tuned for future installments~

Things That Go Bump in the Night | Jadrigo

@rodrigo-esc

Jade had agreed to meet Rodrigo at the Boo Bash, knowing she would be helping her staff out with preparing the food truck, and getting herself ready at the rented commercial space that Fresh Start operated out of. She'd followed the catering truck there a bit early and after double-checking that they were all set, she double-checked her costumed appearance and texted Rodrigo to let her know that she would meet him by the ticket booth.

thinking about when i said that i love when the term “things that go bump in the night” is used in that one tma episode (heheh mag 100, the conspiracy guy for anyone wondering) bc idk the way the guy says it is just silly to me. and i talked about how it’s a funny/silly phrase to me in general.

and my bf literally thought tma had made up that phrase bc he had never heard it before

i was kinda surprised and then he googled it and realized that it’s a fairly old term hahaha

#i mean #english isn’t our native language but i’d still say we’re both pretty fluent in it #we haven’t really spoken in english but it just seems like he is fluent from the information i know #but it was kind of a cute moment #and he hasn’t listened to tma either but he lets me speak about it anyways haha #atlas the thinker #personal #tma #the magnus archives #magnus archives #things that go bump in the night #mag 100 #posts abt my bf

My f/o making a soft comfy spot for me on the floor in the living room for me to pass out onto is self care.

Imagining my f/o coming with me to the bathroom so I can squeeze their hand when I'm in pain and then reassuring me and not being grossed out is self care.

My f/o reminding me to drink a lot of water so it flushes out those nasty little bacterias is self care.

My f/o helping and reminding me to take my antibiotics in the morning and before bed is self care.

My f/o comforting and reassuring me when I'm having a break down because I'm so sick of this constant state of my body shutting down or having something wrong with it is self care...

I just want to be better.. :c

#I didn't sleep well last night. the urgency to pee thanks to this stupid UTI kept me up almost all night. #I am t i r e d and I don't own a bed so the next best thing is to sprawl out on the floor with my squishmallows and blankets/pillows #💤 very tired 😴 #I just want to sleeeeeeep but its hard to do rn :c #Want my f/o to tell me its just another bump in the road and I'll be okay soon... This has been the sickest ive ever been in my entire life #in terms of things ohysically going wrong with my body. cold/extreme salmonella poisoning/covid/and now this damn UTI. #im frustrated. im trying whatever i can to be healthier... i cut back drinking a lot and ive quit smoking #I make sure to shower when i can even tho its hard. I try to do exercises in the mornins now..... #im just so tired of my body not being well #vent.tw

It's funny how you can get over almost all of your fears just by sexualizing them

#life hack #used to be afraid of things going bump in the night and now im like “mfgh what if its a hot monster” #works slightly less with abstract concepts #but only SLIGHTLY

WHAT HAPPENED OMG how was it!!

it was a really good date, we spent 4 hours (!!!!) together just like, walking downtown and we got drinks which he paid for mine, said it was his bday gift for me 🥲 and talked a lot about everything, hockey especially, families, education/career, news, memes, travel, music...

i think he picked up on my hints, when we were walking i kept bumping lightly into him on purpose, and i'd tuck my hair behind my ear and lick my lips lmao. and i let him have a sip of my drink. cause i wanted him to kiss me, and he did, but i got so nervous and messed it up and pulled away 😭 (i buried my face in his chest and held him and i think he chuckled.. he could tell.. then he kissed the top of my head and i died 🪦 i texted him after saying sorry for the bad kiss LOL and he said 'don't apologize i thought the goodbye was very cute' .. omg)

it's just i never liked kissing but i wanted it with him, and he was good his lips were soft gosh, the second it was over i wanted it back.. this is crazy i miss him already 😭

#it was so hard for me not to dive right in i think maybe that's why i panicked #i'm just so passionate and i was holding back all night and he was so chill and calm... kinda drove me insane 😭 #i was having a hard time taking initiative.. like the bumping into him thing was me FIGHTING the urge to hold his arm #he didn’t seem like a super touchy guy idk if it was bc we had just met or that’s how he is but that was a little disappointing tbh #and a WASTE bc gosh he’s so comfy to hug. i had to physically force myself to pull away. i'm not joking #bc in our hugs i could feel him letting go & i didn’t wanna make him uncomfortable #but ugh our height difference & age gap are both literally -perfect- #he got a really cute laugh (and a deeper voice than i thought 😩) #oh yeah and he just ever so casually mentioned he was an argentina fan and i went full fangirl mode????? #oh. and he said he's a mama's boy... (& he likes the oilers.. & his fav movie is interstellar... *quiet voice* “tyson?” LMAOihaveatype) #yea and he said to let him know when i got home and when i forgot (bc i always do) he texted me 🥹 #he mentioned having been in a LDR before and how he didn't mind it... seems like only one of us was good at picking up hints 💀 #he asked if i'd ever been in one and i didn't realize until later like. oh. HEY maybe i should've said i wouldn't mind it either 🤦‍♀️ #ngl there were moments that were a bit awkward tho bc we were both quiet.. but he was so so sweet #like when i said i should go home he was completely understanding and would often ask if i was cold #just a very Gentle man like.. i felt so safe and comfortable 🥹 #and i really loved looking up at him and into his eyes it was the best lil moments... #like when i said i hope this wasn't too boring for you and he immediately reassured me and said he's having a great time #and asked if i was having a good time too and our voices got softer and that eye contact was just.. ugh ✨ #he really talks like a hockey player tho lmaooo 😭 #so yeah i've been up for HOURS replaying all this in my mind i barely slept... i really just wanna see him again asap #answered #brunch anecdotes w the girlies
