#we love it for them though

(10/3) prompt: zombie — 1,220 words (mild sexual content; scare maze shenanigans) @jegulus-microfic

James is honestly beginning to regret every decision that’s led him up to this moment. He knows why he let himself be talked into going to a scare park this year, but he’s having a hard time keeping it in mind the longer he’s there. The thing is, he usually doesn’t scare so easily. His boyfriend loves horror movies and supernatural type shows, they’ve watched plenty of them together. 

When he’s living in a moment straight out of one, though? It’s a little different.

The Undead Outbreak walkthrough is fucking killer, he’ll give them that. He’d lost his friends a little ways in, going opposite directions in the maze. Stupidly, James is now left alone, no one to cling onto, bracing himself for whatever jumpscare comes out at him next. The strobe lights and fog machines make it hard to tell what’s a person and what’s a prop, but he’s doing his best.

Rounding a corner, James finds himself at a fork in the walkway. From what he can tell, one way is slightly better lit than the other —meaning that’s probably the better option, probably leads to somewhere he actually wants to be. Still, he hesitates a beat, squinting toward the darker passageway. He thinks he can make out what’s meant to be a door a ways down, blocked off with yellow caution tape that reads ‘do not open’ in bold letters, splattered with fake blood.

More than likely a dead end. There’s got to be a zombie lurking in the shadows down there, waiting for an unsuspecting victim to launch themselves at.

James turns to face the way he’d just come from, debating whether or not it’s wise to backtrack and find more of a crowd to follow. Just so he knows he’s potentially going the right way instead of either of these new ones. He’s not having an easy time figuring it out on his own. Safety in numbers, or whatever, even if none of this is real.

Before he can commit to a decision, however, there’s a hand clasping at the back of his sweatshirt, tugging. He’s not embarrassed to admit that he lets out a pathetically scared noise, trying to squirm away from the firm hold. The snarl of a zombie is uncomfortably close to his ear as he’s towed toward the blocked off door he noticed at the dead end’s walkway.

Logically, James recalls a reminder from earlier in the day that the scare actors aren’t supposed to touch the guests. Unfortunately, the logical part of his brain isn’t firing on all cylinders as he’s being dragged through a horror maze he can barely see clearly in.

He’s shoved back into the wall, a forearm barred across his chest to pin him there. It takes him a moment, maybe two, to adjust to the dimmer flashes of light in this area. Then he recognizes what’s happened; familiarity in the zombie’s dark curls and sharp jaw, even painted with false blood and rot, filmy contacts blocking out grey irises.

“Hi, baby.”

“Oh, fuck you,” James wheezes, thunking his head back against the wall.

Regulus laughs, snapping his teeth playfully at him. “Told you I’d find you.”

“Almost gave me a bloody heart attack, you dick.”

James tosses his boyfriend’s arm away from his chest, but makes a grab at the collar of Regulus’ tattered costume shirt instead. Before he can pull him in fully, he pauses, hazel eyes flickering over the gash at Regulus’ hairline, the couple zombie bites along his neck. James brushes his thumb along the edge of the prosthetic piece at the juncture of Regulus’ neck and shoulder, nose wrinkling faintly.

“These look so real,” He comments.

“Kind of the point,” Regulus chuckles. “I can give you one if you want.”

James snorts, eyes rolling good-naturedly now that his racing heart has started to slow back down. “Oh yeah?”

“Mhm.” Regulus leans forward to close the few inches between them, catching James’ lower lip between his teeth and pulling at it.

When it snaps back into place, James breathes in shallowly, mutters, “Baby, you’re at work.”

“I’m bored. Hardly anyone’s come down this way.” Regulus curls both hands at his hips, shifts to slot one leg between both of James’ thighs, pressing until James lets out a soft groan. Nosing along the line of his jaw, Regulus hums. “Best case even if they do, they’ll just think you work here, too, and that I’m eating you.”

“Interesting choice of words,” James exhales, half a laugh.

“That might be a little more obvious, I’m afraid,” Regulus mutters into the side of his neck. He kisses gently along the soft skin for a moment, James’ head lolling to the side to give him more room.

“Have to wait until we’re home, then.”

“Mm, can do this in the meantime, though.”

Without further preamble, he bites down, digs his teeth in in a way that toes the line between pain and pleasure. James gasps when Regulus sucks harshly at the bitten skin, inevitably leaving a mark behind. The grip at his hips tightens, guiding James to rock forward against the thigh pressed to the growing bulge in the front of his trousers. Regulus drags his lips an inch downward, sucks another mark into tan skin just below the first. James rolls his hips forward on instinct, digging his fingers in on either side of Regulus’ ribs.

“Reg—” James cuts off on a breathless moan when Regulus slips a hand into his back pocket, palming at his ass and pushing him forward still. “Baby, I’ve still got to walk out of here.”

“Plenty of time to walk off the hardon,” Regulus mumbles against his skin.

James hisses, hips jerking forward, when Regulus sinks his teeth in again, a third mark sucked in a straight line down the side of James’ neck. One of his hands lifts, sinking his fingers into familiar dark curls at the back of Regulus’ head and tugging slightly.

“Not my dick still being hard that I’m worried about,” James manages, moaning again after the fact.

Regulus hums lowly then licks a broad stripe up the trail of bruises he’s left behind, grazes his teeth at James’ earlobe. James shudders, taking in an equally shaking breath between parted lips.

“Straight down that way, two lefts, then a right,” Regulus murmurs in his ear.

James blinks dazedly up at the flash of strobe light above them. “What?”

Abruptly, Regulus cuts all contact with him, hands falling and a large step taken backward. He inclines his head the opposite direction from the current dead end when James frowns at him in question.

“The way out.”

James lets out a loud laugh, head shaking. “You’re actually the fucking worst, you know that?”

“Oh, I know, baby,” Regulus coos tauntingly, slick and reddened lips curled in a smirk.

The fake blood around his mouth is smeared even more than it already was, meaning there’s some mingling with the fresh bruises. James really might look like he was mauled by a zombie, actually. He shifts on unsteady legs, adjusting his current predicament in his trousers discreetly. Regulus’ lips twitch knowingly anyway.

James steps forward, catches Regulus’ chin between his thumb and forefinger. “I’ll see you at home.”

Regulus snaps his teeth playfully at him once again. “Can’t wait.”

TW// Abuse implication

Thinking about possible Vox and Angel's interactions and how they'd go down. Theres such a unique mix of hatred to each other and common ground with their different experiences with Valentino, has me thinking.

Also just want to clarify I love Vox's character a LOT but ofc obv don't sympathise with him or think he is any way shape or form a decent individual, cant with stupid toxic dumbass x

AND IF YOU SEE ANY MISTAKES OR TYPOS NO YOU DONT- (i was so tired when drawing it forgive me TwT)

#Man though the ANGST potential!!!! #vox and angel are in such different situations #but they have one thing in common that keeps them really close #val #and like we all know vox is super jealous #even though vals a dick #i just think the way they would go about interacting is so so interesting #ALSO THIS IS NOT HATE TO VAL OR VOX i think they are really well written and I love how shitty they are #but also no apologizing for them either ygm? :> #SENDING LOVE AND KEEP YOURSELF SAFE OUT THERE. 🤍🤍 #hazbin hotel #vox #angel dust #hazbin hotel vox #huskerdust #voxval #hazbin #hazbin hotel fanart #tribbleart #<3

I’m really curious how you would draw the Five Missing Children.

Technically I’ve drawn them! Only the movie versions though, sometime I’ll do the game ones too!

#ask reply #tbh it would be a lot of fun to design them #we have a clear idea of just Susie from the games? #and maybe Cassidy but that was never confirmed #So yeah sometime I’ll draw them! #I want to draw Charlie first though #I have a design for her ready #I STILL love this piece btw #think it’s one of my best fnaf comics still #these poor kids deserved better #btw the extra three is a young Vanessa / Mike and Abby

When someone really cool that I’ve followed for a while follows me back I feel like I have to be more normal with my posting habits for a bit because I don’t want to scare them away, as if they were a nervous horse who might run away if I move too suddenly. But eventually I realize that it’s impossible for me to be normal forever so I just go back to being weird regular annoying me and cross my fingers that they stay

#sometimes it works #idk why I said horse. deer would’ve been a better thing probably. idk I’ve never actually seen a nervous horse up close #deers do that all the time though #at least I can stop myself from DMing them and being weird like ‘hiiii I love your art thank you for following me can we be friends?’

#🐉 #this is what i love about being involved in community spaces for fiction though tbh #everyone has different personalized interpretations of the source material and some of them align with my own or make me go 'oh huh i never #thought of that but yeah i can see it' while some of them just dont compute at all and make me wonder if we saw the same thing #which of course. we didnt. or rather we saw the same objective source material but we *saw* it completely differently through the lens of #our own experiences and worldview. #its so cool #however i will sometimes be a hypocritical little hater about it

imagine being scotty in tos. every day your friend group goes on dangerous yet exciting adventures to new planets but you can never go because they always make you babysit the ship. also you have to stay on facetime with them the whole time in case they need a lift. you are the eternal designated driver. the seventh wheel. you dont mind as much as you should though because you sort of want to fuck the ship

#an a24 film #kidding i know babysitting the ship is his job and he loves it #i do think about scottu alot though because hes always excluded from the triumvirute and we can assume chekov uhura and sulu are all close #because they are bridge crew so scotty’s not as close to them either #no wonder scotty wants to fuck the ship #hes the seventh wheel:( #i guess he can hang with bones if you belive the mcscott shippers #still i would not want to be scotty even though he is baller af #he has no bestie on the enterprise except the warp drive #i didnt think i had this many thoughts about scotty #weird #star trek tos #tos #montgomery scott #scotty tos #star trek #jim kirk #spock #bones mccoy #the triumvirate

I relate to lottie because if I had to soothe a group of cannibal teens in the wilderness who for some reason depended on my guidance, I too would probably just start throwing out fucking dbt ass name five things you can see techniques and pray none of them knew what it was

#like that’s relatable Crazy Girl Content if I’ve ever seen it lmao #in 2023 I do feel as though more of them would clock it but 1996 baby?? we’re golden!! #this is Brand New what a gal what a visionary #I love lottie Matthews so much she’s just a girl with zero qualifications and a dream #she said it’s a group skills class <3 we are attending daily <3 this is intensive outpatient <3 and the out is right outside the cabin <3 #lottie matthews #yellowjackets

Reasons to play In Stars and Time: Canon Pronoun Warfare.

#in stars and time #ISAT #Siffrin #Loop #Context: early on you meet a character who tries to get you to use the royal We pronoun for them and you shut them down. It's great. #The gender swag and non-binary rep in this game is lovely. #I sketched this out when I was in Act 2 - and as of posting this I have not yet finished the game so *please* no spoilers. #It is rare for me to get into something spoiler free and I have been getting my shit rocked by this game in the best way. #Yes I *am* taking another detour to talk about a video game I love again. I will have some fun crossovers. Trust the process. #I will also do my best to pitch this game as spoiler free as possible. Because you *should* play this game: #ISAT is a very lovingly crafted RPG with very fun and emotional writing. #The characters are great and the mysteries you slowly uncover are intriguing! #The way the gameplay ties into the player's own emotional state is nearly always in sync with the protagonist. You *will* feel things. #And it is not afraid to let those things be hard emotions! Do mind the content warnings and know your limits though. #As someone who sucks at video games I also appreciate that it is so generous with your time and keeps things fun. #Not to mention it is honestly underpriced for the amount of content in it. Buy this game. I need to spread the brainworms.

i’ll find you again in every universe. let us be a little more honest, let us have a little more time.

#vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #trigun #despite it all though badlands rumble is like. the only universe where we get wolfwood thinking vash died first... and i think that means a #lot to their relationship and how it may bloom if there was more to badlands rumble considering vash literally saw wolfwood carrying a piece #of vash after his supposed death. u know! despite the short time they were together vash still meant so much to wolfwood that he couldn't #just move on or forget him in anyway. needed to keep a piece of him for himself and the rest of his days. but ofc vash lives and wolfwood #was like ill beat ur fucking ass into tomorrow. there's just so much honesty in vash being able to see that gesture bc he wouldnt know #otherwise just how much he might mean to him. ANYWAY. trimax with with the eternal pining featuring the two chapters where imo #where the both of them really fell for each other... i wrote my thoughts about this on another comic i did before #but vash solidifying his feelings during the hospital arc -- ww solidifies his when he realizes his allegiances are permanently with vash #98 my lovelies but also to me they are so one-sided bc ww pined like no tomorrow and vash only realizes after ep 23?24? his heart did tickle #whenever ww complimented his smile though #and tristamp vw my beloveds. it really just feels like they get the chance to be closer and closer and more honest with each other #with every version that comes about. in trimax they knew how little time they had but struggled so desperately to get closer. in 98 ww felt #more willing to forsake for vash. in badlands rumble theyre Angry but as mentioned earlier ^ more blatant truth... due to circumstances #mainly but has the chance to lead to discussions and tristamp literally. first day of knowing each other ww saves vash - 2 days later vash #saves ww like. Man. AND NOW THEY MAY POTENTIALLY GET EVEN CLOSER!!!! with s2.... #ruporas art

i think we don't talk about what the driving force behind each batcher is enough. like if u think abt it hunter often acts out of fear ( not cowardice , fear that his ppl will get hurt duh ) , while crosshair often acts out pain , tech acts with logic , wrecker with love , and echo ? echo acts out of being true hater

#omega kinda balances them by acting out of all of these places #IM JUST BEING SILLY THOUGH THIS ISNT SERIOUS #echo my beloved #he's literally such a hater though and i love it #yes i'm aware of all his pain & lore and what truly drives him #but my god is he a hater #just like me fr idk #the bad batch #tbb hunter #tbb crosshair #tbb tech #tbb wrecker #tbb echo #tbb omega #star wars #sw tbb #clone force 99 #we salute you echo #keep hating king #what doesn't kill you makes you an asshole

How do you imagine Levan/Revan/ Mallenoa's husband?

Appearance, personality etc.

Revaan/Laverne/whatever-his-name-is's title sort of implies that he might be from a fantasy-Eastern country (they've established that in Twstland, 竜 = Eastern-style dragons, andドラゴン = Western-style dragons). and that's about as much as we know right now about...anything in regards to what he might look like. so I've been trying very hard not to form too much of a mental picture of him, because I'm still hoping we'll get to see him (or at least a silhouette)! ergo, in my head, he kind of looks like this:

so handsome. surely Malenoa fell in love at first glance.

I do think the funniest thing about what we've learned so far is that Malleus being kind of quiet and reserved and dignified...absolutely did not come from the Draconias. and he sure as heck did not learn it from Lilia. so he probably got a lot of that from his dad! the vibe I get from how Lilia talks about him is that he could be a bit of a prim little fancyboy sometimes, but was (mostly) willing to go along with his wife's zany antics out of love. he sounds sweet, honestly! I'm sorry he (maybe) died. :(

my favorite thing about Mal's parents is that Malenoa and Lilia's dynamic was "long-suffering guard and princess who has long been the cause of said suffering":

but then they would happily join forces in order to gang up on Revaan:

tl;dr Revaan was the straightman in Malenoa and Lilia's comedy act until it all ended horribly whoops

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #can't wait to be proven wrong about all of this! #no seriously if it means more episode 7 i literally cannot wait #oh revaan. hopefully they will not make us wait much longer to learn...anything at all about you #international relations probably got a lot easier once he was around to do the diplomatic stuff #the malenoa-revaan-lilia dynamic seemed to largely revolve around lilia and revaan's shared understanding #that malenoa does whatever she wants and neither of them can stop her #god i love them #while we're on the subject i found out the other day that the romanization of the name eleanor is エレノア #so i wonder if malenoa is actually meant to be something like maleanor as a takeoff on that #i am going to stick with malenoa for now but i think that's kind of cute! #we desperately need some kind of confirmation on revaan's name though twst please #if malleus' dad is actually named laverne i need to know
