Ask Larry Johnson

[asklarryjohnsonofficial]

It's a gloomy, wet day in the rural town of Nockfell. In a rotting apartment building, Larry and his mother Lisa spend their days in the humid basement unit. After abandoning their old house, Lisa rents their apartment for free with her maintenance job, and Larry loses himself in weed and art. They're doing their best to make the most of every day, but something's not right with the town, and a bad feeling creeps and spreads into the bones like mold...

Welcome to the blog.

Ask guidelines:

This is a plot-based art & ask blog with some alternated details of the universe. This includes birthdays, "canon" events, queer identities, disabilities, backgrounds, etc. Don't assume everything will follow canon. Reasonable questions about these details are (obviously) encouraged.

A general approach I suggest is doing some subtle detective work with your asks. But anything at all is welcome and fun to draw. Don't stress about it, or try to force anything.

For the sake of staying in character, please limit displays of affection and gift asks. This is a roleplay, mod takes good care of Larry I promise.

Please also limit character therapy aka traumadumping or asking for serious advice. I would love to help but I don't know you or the situation, and we gotta keep the blog somewhat grounded to the plot.

16+ is suggested for the topics of this blog. Absolutely no suggestive or NSFW asks or dms due to the age ranges of the audience. They will not be answered.

Interactions and short roleplays with character blogs are always welcome. There's no limit to these, and they don't need to be related to this blog's plotline. However, I currently only respond to art prompts because I get a lot of asks.

Other reblogs will not usually be responded to, and please limit dms in general if you are not also 18+.

Other characters in this blog's universe are fleshed out and you may see them go through some development themselves. This is to help you fit into the world if you want to casually roleplay, and to set up future ask events.

Keep in mind that Larry will respond in character, which means that you may not get the answer you expect. No one is mad at you or hurt in real life if the character responds negatively.

Also please note that I have major critiques of Sally Face as a game and don't support Steve Gabry. This doesn't necessarily affect the art I post here, but some of the AU differences here come from that haha.

Mod also takes commissions.

All prices are in USD. Payment options are paypal.me/circuitry and cashapp $terror1978.

Lastly:

I wish I could explain what the poetry means, but Larry won't tell me.

Travis, can I adopt u😭 I'm your dad from now on🗣️🗣️🗣️

[asklarryjohnsonofficial]

Do things seem a bit off to you recently? The neighborhood strays have been dropping dead left and right but I swear I saw a few of them again afterwards... I don't know if they're like ghosts or zombies or I've lost it, but the timing is a bit strange...

I can't be the only one who's noticed it...

[asklarryjohnsonofficial]

How much would it matter to you, right here and right now?

Has something faded? Did you scrub it or did the paint flake off by itself?

What did it take to touch your heart? Can I replicate it?

How many pieces did it break into? Can I replace it?

I've already measured out the corners for gilding, and I'm getting tired of guessing.

All the amorphous assorted pieces of colors and shapes that don't fit together once separated.

Has it always been so vague?

Are you going to explain anything when my bones disintegrate and the whole of me turns into limestone? Would you turn

yourself into a fossil to preserve me?

Now, I'll underrstand if you have no interest in the puzzle

and would rather that I get lead poisoning from all these paint chips.

I too am dried, flaky, and useless.

And yet here I am shoving it into my mouth letting it dissolve on my tongue quicker

Than I can pretend I'm not afraid.

I stare into the mirror like I am the only thing that exists, the sphere of each eye rolling around my skull.

My mouth is so dry and my tongue sticks inside like a dead lizard

Can you feed me?:

All the whitewash from the bricks,

Every twist of the chain link fence,

Every crunch from the stained glass window,

And every brick of a tall, tall building,

One by one until the house has no color

And the gray hits my heart until a feeling of loss swallows me.

I don't know where I belong now, but it can't be me gripping the white porcelain of the bathtub for the past three hours.

It can't be.

Soo travisss, are you aware of the cult your dad is involved in.. 💀

It's complicated, right? He's always told me that this town is destined for "better things" than how it is now and he's the one who's going to "see it to fruition," and he's always "preparing" me for that. But he won't ever tell me what he means by that, and he acts like I'm stupid when I ask him where he goes during the week, or what he does when he leaves at night.

Hearing Sally and his friends go on and on about this or that horrifying ghost story just gave me more questions than answers, even though my dad being a cultist kind of makes everything make sense.

Like, TOO many things would make sense. And too many people in town just loyally swallow whatever bullshit he says on Sunday, I can't trust anyone...

...

I don't even know why I'm telling you all this...

[asklarryjohnsonofficial]

trav take ibuprofen. and maybe find a safe place to chill my dude

Don't worry, I already have a place I can chill at when I'm hiding everything gets to be a bit too much.

[asklarryjohnsonofficial]

(( just wanted to remind everyone that larry responding negatively doesn't mean you need to apologize about anything! things are about to get really crazy in this blog's plot and yall are actually doing a great job of giving me stuff to work with. without asks this blog wouldn't exist. ))

[asklarryjohnsonofficial]

For travis!

hey Trav, do you liiiiike Sal? UwU

-uwu anon

Ask Travis: Open!

[asklarryjohnsonofficial]

I totally get what you mean cause of your record and money and everything but i think it would be worth it for you to try, most of the time they dont lock people up for schizophrenia unless youre batshit crazy and listening to do what the voices tell you. You could get meds to help you be able to differentiate whats real and whats a hallucination though and i think your mom would be more than happy to help with that, i think youre stressing about it to much, this could totally be for the better man

...

You know what, man? Go send someone else asks for a while.

[asklarryjohnsonofficial]

I think you should go get tested for schizophrenia at the doctor,, not saying ur crazy or that some of the things u see are fake but they miiight be js saying brochacho

Mr. Addison lets us have free rent at the apartments even if neither me or my mom can cover the maintenance there, but we don't have any extra money.

*rises from the dead*

What did I lose?

--👾☣️

First of all, Maple has really been kickin' ass! The rest of us (especially Chug) have been taking turns watching Soda so Maple doesn't have to go to summer school.

Do not ask me when or HOW, but Ash gave herself a nose piercing!! Right in her septum!!

Todd is grinding, and I mean GRINDING on his homework. I swear he writes about a college entrance essay a day, and won't take a single day off to hang out with any of us. Not even Neil!

As for Sal- I mean, the guy is my best friend in the entire world, but we don't agree on everything. Even he's been bumming me the fuck out lately with the talk of getting into a good school when we graduate!

Man, we don't have time for any of this!! Summer is still months away! We've got bigger issues here!
