Don't worry! Unlike these characters, you aren't Deckers (yet). Welcome! These are your captains speaking! You've reached the main spawn point, where your favorite captains tell you about this specific blog! Read more under the cut!

!!THIS IS A TBTATE / TFTDATE RP BLOG!! PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL!!

I'm co-captain, Rose! I am one of the mods for this roleplay blog! This is simply for fun and to be taken lightly. I will always be using this font and color whenever I speak, plus I leave a little note with my name at the end! I take over a certain tag whenever I speak. One thing about me is that I am a total sucker for these books and partially got the other mod into this! 

Tag for mod: #cocaptain rose go away

Heyo, I'm co-captain Anni! I'm the second mod for the roleplay blog, and I'm very excited to start this off! I will be using this color whenever I'm around, a "?!?", and a certain tag when I post! Something about me is that my favorite book so far is TFTDATE, and kudos to Rose for hooking me into this. Can't wait to see what shenanigans we get into!

Tag for mod: #cocaptain anni panic ?!?

"On behalf of everyone here at Death-Cast, we are so sorry to lose you."

What characters?

Mateo Torrez, Rufus Emeterio, Lidia Vargas, Orion Pagan, Valentino Prince, Dalma Young, Alano Rosa, Paz Dario, Joaquin Rosa, Naya Rosa, ETC ETC

Basically, any characters from the three books!

how does it feel to have the hottest babe Rufus? I’ll tell you a secret, Mateo open my eyes for the nerds out there 😼

Deadass Rufus Emeterio when Mateo finally kissed him after HOURS of pining:

Rufus, singing like it's noise pollution: MORE THAN A FEEELIIIINNGGGGG

[deathcast-offical]

Please tell me my trauma doesn’t get worse in NOKWDATE…PLEASE. Also, Valentino, do you miss Orion? Same goes for Orion if he misses Valentino

Paz and Alano slowly turn their heads away as if they've done NOTHING wrong. (Loud incorrect buzzer)

Valentino, watching the two with a laugh: Course I do. I mean, he and Dalma were the first nicer New Yorkers I've met when I flew in. Orion stayed with me the entire time and showed me around the city on my own private Orion Tour , even with his condition. How could I not miss him?

Orion, on his laptop watching the video Valentino recorded for him: Every day. Nobody can compare to Valentino. Even if Dalma tells me 100 times to not fall in love with him because he got called, I'd do it over and over again.

Dalma, rolling her eyes: Why do I even give advice? (She mumbled to herself.)

[deathcast-offical]

Mateo and Rufus!!

what places would you go for a road trip? Also how will yall act being together in a car for HOURS? (Including if you bringing people or nah)

Rufus: Honestly? I wanna go to some place cool. Like Six Flags or somethin'. Problem is that I don't got a license, yknow, with my bike and all. I've been in road trips couple of times with my family, but it's kinda hazy. Mom said that I was a huge trouble maker and asked a million questions. Guess sleeping the entire way is off the list for me.

Mateo: I've been on a few road trips upstate, maybe in the tri state area, but never out. I think it'd be fun to go south though! Definitely warmer. It's either I'd be asleep the entire time or constantly checking the GPS and worrying about exits. Don't put me on the wheel.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCARLETT AND VALENTINO <33

favourite cake/chocolate (since its valentines day and theres a bunch of chocolate on sale lmao) flavours?

Scarlett, chuckling as shes still eating last years Halloween candy: Thanks! But our birthdays are Novermber 11, 1990. Close enough though!

Valentino, shrugging: Don't berate them, Scar. But thanks! My favorite type of cake has to be chocolate or red velvet. Especially if there's more than 3 layers.

Scarlett, thinking about it: Heard from a friend that Dubai chocolate is good. I still haven't tried it even if it died down. But milk chocolate is my go to. Specifically Crunch.

[deathcast-offical]

Question for Rufus!

Did you really go in that Mateo manhunt? If you did, did you actually recruit your whole family into it? What was it like when you finally did find him?

Rufus, semi-fixing his bike: Oh, yeah. 'Course I went. He made me afraid that he wouldn't have his glasses up there, so why wouldn't I? Found him before I found my family, man. Turned out he was finding me first, that kid.

I think.. I think the best part about that day was finding him again, yknow? Finding him in a place we won't be able to leave each other after. It was like a retry at life. A good way to start over. Him as a changed coward and me as a changed man.

[deathcast-offical]

Mateo!! Have you read any bl? If so which ones?

Mateo: (chuckling to himself) Yes, I have actually. My seat mates back when I was in high-school made me fall victim to The Song of Achilles. I've also read We Are Okay and Giovanni's Room. Less by Andrew Seen Greer was also out at the time. We don't talk about Oscar Wilde.

[deathcast-offical]

chill guy

to the mods, what’s your headcannons of the characters?

Mateo: used to be a "popular" person at school just because he was mysterious and wouldn't hang out with anyone (he was just terrified of dying young)

Rufus: will never cross by bridge ever again, doesn't ride his bike when it's raining, and stays up late talking to Malcolm and Tagoe about their lives (like their little girls night)

Orion: Listens to every playlist about Golden Hearts, thinking about them like it's genuinely about him and Valentino and compiles the songs that are the most repeated in those playlists to listen to.

Valentino: definitely moves in with all of his clothes, and when asked about the furniture he just gives a shrug. (Scarlett takes care of it after) also he looks like he'd enjoy watching figure skating

(Sadly don't have any for Paz and alano yet </3)

[deathcast-offical]

Rufus!! Are you secretly a softy when it comes to showing affection to Mateo?

Rufus, currently listening to Mateo play the piano in the other room: I mean, isn't everyone a soft person when it comes to their partners? Of course I'm soft around Mateo, unless he asks me not to be. He helped me live on my death day I thought that I'd spent my life in jail for. So what if I have a soft spot for Mateo?

[deathcast-offical]

for Lidia and Mateo!!

have y’all seen 20th century girl? What’s y’all thoughts on it and Who cried the hardest?

I cried so hard, my favorite scene was when the male lead told the female lead that he works on the other street in front of hers.

Lidia: (finishing uo her cooking) When I had time when Penny was at school, I watched it. It was completely different from what i usually watch, but it was an incredible story. I really liked it, but i dont know if i have a favorite scene. I think that if Mateo was here to watch it too, he would've cried the most.

Mateo: died in 2017 </3

[deathcast-offical]

yeah idk if this has been asked before but…

For Mateo: did you have like a gay awakening moment or maybe it was something you’d always known? (Definelty totally 100% nkt hinting at that one Mateo pov scene in tftdate)

hope the mods are doing okay in the afterlife!!!! /j

Mateo: Well, for me? I never really liked the girls in my classes or in anything outside of school. I mean, my dad didn't really bring girlfriends up or dating anyone for that matter. I think that was a way he kept me close. I think the person who gave me consciousness that I was gay had to be in a park when I was younger. I was a huge fan of Scorpius Hawthorne and I saw the actor who played in it- but he left.

Then I saw this other guy on a bike, and his dad was helping him learn. I don't remember if he said his name or not, but I thought to myself that I really did like that name. I didn't go up to him though, or anyone for that matter.

Rufus: Should I be jealous?

Mateo: (Smiling since he knew) No, you shouldn't be.

[deathcast-offical]

chill guy here!!

to Mateo and Rufus

How does it feel being a doomed yaoi?

Mateo: (trying to stargaze) I remember everyone in high school using that term. Yaoi, I mean. It was a craze. But to be used for us? It's kinda funny. We're both doomed and gay, so.. it fits.

Rufus: (sitting next to him, phone in hand) I guess it's cool? We were gonna die anyway, what's the point of not being doomed?

[deathcast-offical]

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS YALL 🎄 🎉 🎁

thank you so much to the mods for this gift of a blog!!! you guys brought the characters (my shaylas!!) (back..?) to life like no one could, and I am so so grateful for you <33 stay hydrated and dont die in the afterlife heheh/silly

anyways here is an actual question for everyone:

do you guys watch youtube, and if so what are some of your favourite channels/youtubers?

*quickly hands everybody gingerbread cookies and hot chocolate, then poofing out of existence*

merry christmas to the amazing mods again!!!! :D

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE !!

We're glad you enjoy this QnA Deathcast blog as much as we love answering the questions! :) We both hope you get everything you wanted this holiday!

(All HCs since.. well, they're all dead.. some of them.. you guys get it)

Mateo: Canonically listens to the sounds of planets, so any channel that features that on YouTube. (Aryanatomy, etc) or maybe even Crashcourse from John Green! 100% wouldn't be a Buzz Feed guy

Rufus: Danny Gonzalez or Jalin Siu, very chaotic and makes him feel alive. He also probably watches Tagoe and Malcolm's various fight videos with them.

Lidia: Her feed is plagued with kid friendly channels for Penny. I think there'd be a bit of Psych2Go and Ted-Ed in there as well. A lot of environmental videos to help with her GED while studying too.

Orion: Broadway and Musical theater that plays in the background when he writes. (Which ones are up to you). Maybe a bit of Nathan Zed as well. Now if you look at his Tiktok, it's just flaming BookTok and a bunch of thirst traps from guys he can't have. Classic.

Valentino: Fashion YouTubers, shopping hauls, and probably luxury lifestyle vlog channels. He'd probably also watch Vogue and runaway analysts or people's never-ending critiques on the Victoria Secret annual show. Before he came to New York, he would've probably watched millions of NYC videos with Scarlett to hype up their new life.

Dalma: Video essayists (like Lindsay Ellis–style or something close), or art commentary even. Orion most likely put her onto at least one musical or play she likes but will never tell him. A lot of coding online classes and finance management videos, for Orion's hospital bills.

Paz: God, get this boy the mental health awareness videos. He'd definitely watch nature or travel vlogs, chaotic and calm alike. Edits of Scorpius Hawthorne is on there, but he'd never admit it to anyone. The occasional movie analysis, specifically on Opal. Heavy on Opal. He sometimes tortures himself by watching other teen actors on set, posting videos in full gear, without knowing it. Or maybe he does.

Alano: A lot of DeathCast theorists and people covering the cases of other people who died on their End Day (Valentino Prince, Frankie Dario, President Raegan, etc). In his freetime, maybe some Veritasium. Other times it's luxury travel blogs or early Christmas shopping hauls. The occasional pop up of small animals that look really cute, but terrible to have as pets.

Merry Christmas, everyone! Don't get a Deathcast call! -Cocaptain Anni

[deathcast-offical]

Mateo Sr, what’s your thoughts on Mateo bf and his two friends?

Mateo Sr.: Ah, Rufus? Even if I never got to meet him, he sounded like a nice boy. He took care of my Mateo when I couldn't. For that, I owe that boy everything. Lidia is a sweetheart. Very kind and caring, but also resilient in a quiet way. Her daughter, Penny, is always a delight to see. Bless their hearts.

[deathcast-offical]

For any of the characters

Snoopy or Garfield?

also Mateo and Rufus. do y’all think yall would’ve dated if y’all met in middle school/high school?

(Ill probably be asking questions a lot so just call me, Chill guy)

(Hi, chill guy!)

Orion: (trying to push Dalma down) Garfield!

Dalma: (trying to get to the screen first) No! Snoopy 100%!

Valentino: (watching from the side in part horror and part amusement) Scarlett and I are Snoopy people.

---[>⏳️☠️<]---

Mateo: I wasn't the outgoing person in middle school.. or high school. I avoided every social interaction possible so I wouldn't be tempted to do anything stupid, even when Deathcast was a thing. But.. it's a possibility.

Rufus: (trying to wash hot cocoa out of Mateo’s mug) Hm? Probably not. I was way too distant, especially after my parents and sister died. When I went into foster care? I was worse off than I was before. Plus, I had Aimee. So.. maybe not.

[deathcast-offical]

hi mateo and rufus!! do u guys like cuddling? and if so, when's your favorite time to do it? watching a movie, snacking, napping, ect?

Rufus: I do, yeah. The Plutos and I usually did when the bedroom was way too cramped. Being in foster care taught you to not fear touch, I guess, especially when your near guys who love to hug. Like Tagoe and Malcolm. Mateo is my favorite thing to cuddle though. Don't tell them.

Mateo: I love cuddling with Rufus when taking naps or sleeping in general. Sometimes people are too judgemental outside. It's nice to now you have a safe space with your loved one where no one else can see or make you leave.

Rufus: Like our island?

Mateo: ... don't.

Rufus: (hiding a laugh) Respect.

[deathcast-offical]

sup guys

this might seem weird..but that one scene in tftdate when valentino swears for the first time is stuck on my brain so...

what's y'all's favourite swear words (if you have one)?

(for everyone i guess :P)

Valentino: Freely swearing ever since I left home has been one of the best things I've been able to do so far. My favorite swear word is still fuck.

Orion: (counting the many he already knows) I really like the word dick. Not in the sense of, well, ..yeah, I'll leave that up to you.

Rufus: Asshole is a good one.

Mateo: In all honesty? Shit is my favorite. I wish I used it more.
