( QUICK RULES UNDER THE CUT ) ;
1. ) this is an 18+ ONLY blog. i would prefer if those who interacted with me were actually 21+, but it is, at the bare minimum, 18+. this blog may deal with HEAVY TOPICS, such as violence, trauma, religious themes, blasphemy, possession, swearing, etc. NSFW in ways of smut will not be written on this blog. abaddon is thousands of years old, but his vessel is that of a child.
2. ) please, be patient with me. i am an adult with a life outside of tumblr who struggles pretty severely with mental health issues, & may be sporadic with my activity. i appreciate your patience & still look forward to interacting with you all! if i follow you, it is because i want to write with you. i will not follow just for a follow. if you follow me, i hope it is because you wish to write with me, as well.
3. ) absolutely no hate speech / bullying of any kind, and no godmodding or pressuring me for replies. a reminder every once in awhile if it has been a week or more is understandable, but please don't pester me for a response, ic or ooc. thank you in advance!
4. ) OC'S & CROSSOVERS ARE WELCOME & EVEN ENCOURAGED -- provided you have information about your OC, so i can have an idea / a bit of a starting point!
5. ) i am not picky with format, so long as i can read what you're writing. i tend to use small font & 75Ć75 icons, but if you need me to change anything at all to make it easier for you, by all means let me know! & you dont need to use icons simply for my benefit. do what feels right to you! you also do not need to necessarily match my length, so long as i have something to work with in your response.
6. ) i am not a meme source, so i prefer when people don't like / reblog memes from me directly, but i understand that it happens occasionally. i do my best to adhere to meme karma, but sometimes i forget. i am always open for getting memes & sending some other people's way, though!
SIMILARLY, i also love turning ask memes into threads. if you do not want me doing so or don't wish to respond, that is entirely okay! you can always let me know if you don't want an ask turned into a thread.
7. ) this blog is canon compliant w/ headcanon influences. my portrayal may adapt & change as more episodes / information becomes available.
8. ) personal blogs ( with no rp sideblogs or any rp blog attached somewhere ), while allowed to send anonymous questions or engage occasionally through the inbox, will not be followed back & may be blocked, as this is an ic roleplay blog.
9. ) duplicates are okay ; though, i do admit that i say this with hesitance. roleplaying with duplicates is not something that i have done much of, as i have been known to have a bit of duplicate anxiety & imposter syndrome, but i have been reminding myself that we are all here to write characters that we love & to craft stories that bring us joy. if weāre writing the same muse, that just shows that we have great taste! &, luckily enough, haunted hotel is the type of show where timeline shenanigans & the strangeness of the multiverse would make sense. i might want to plot or chat about it a tad bit beforehand, but all that is to say, itās not off the table! if youāre a multimuse with abaddon, i will still follow, even if i may be more interested in some of your other muses that you have on offer.
10. ) have fun! if you need me to change anything or any issues arise, by all means, let me know. roleplay should be a fun & inviting space for everyone, & i want to make it as comfortable & enjoyable as i can for everyone involved!
also ā¦ idk if iāll come back there for real. but did u all know that i made a k.arkat. yeah like that k.arkat. from that fandom. u know the one, iām sure.
thinking. about an actual guest coming to the hotel & getting to their room, just for a.baddon to drop out from the vents somewhere & tell them, āah, i remember this room well. i have slain many a rodent enemy within these walls, and bitten a multitude of residents. i can still taste their blood along my tongue; sweet and metallic.ā
after an absolutely harrowing day of april fools pranks that abaddon doesnāt appreciate nor understand, he finally goes outside, comes back in w/ a dead animal, drops its body onto the floor, & then says, āi didnāt do it.ā :)

āand i am putting mortal wearing sunglasses on the list of humans who would look better with their spine severed and used as a spoon by which my fruit loops will be delivered.ā
Sorry if someone has already spoken of this in a post but I found it very interesting. In Episode 9 of āHaunted Hotelā we are told by the Assyrian demon possessing the Mailman that Abaddon is of the Gerasenes. I would expect that this is a direct reference to the Biblical story of the Gerasene Demoniac. The story follows a man (or 2 depending on the version) possessed by a Demonic Legion who lives among the tombs and cuts himself with the stones surrounding him because he cannot be chained down by the people (for very long at least). Needless to say, Jesus shows up and out of fear of him (understandably) they plead to be exorcised /cast out into a herd of pigs, who then immediately rush down the steep bank of the hillside and drown themselves in the sea.
Why is this important? This explains why Abaddon is so persistent on proving himself whether it be a game of Connect Four or restoring the roof to the Undervale snow globe (not to mention consistently able to break away from restraints). The Gerasene Legion as a whole are failures as demons and what do they do when they fail? Drown themselves. It just puts a deeper layer of meaning to Abaddon sitting at the bottom of a lake for 2 days and even his love of bones as the possessed hung around the tombs. It also makes him even more of a tragic character as it frames why hell hasnāt come for him if he has consistently failed them (Katherine was probably not the first to call him āunreliableā, ya know?)
Thank you for coming to my TED talk šš
(Poor baby just wants to prove he can do something right for once š„ŗ)
before i pass out for sleep just know im thinking about how a.baddon is the villain of the vessels story. & honestly, heās the antagonist of the priests story, too. he is pitied for the brand forever burned across his chest, we sympathize for his being essentially banished & imprisoned away from his home ā but he took the life, the body, the future of a young nine year old boy, as well as damning the boys father to his forever grave.
did he leave a grieving mother behind who not only lost her son, but also her husband? did he leave behind siblings who mourn their father & brother? he is trapped & suffering & has no doubt experienced years & years of unimaginable turmoil, but that does not erase his sins.
heās scowling. tiny, rounded expression thatās all too lacking in fangs and gaping maws and sharpened spikes is contorted in quiet mirth ; a peculiar mix of anger and perhaps something else. something a bit more vulnerable, a bit softer than heās willing to acknowledge. small arms are crossed over a branded chest, hidden beneath a doublet thatās only a tad too big and always has been and always will be.
upon the others approach, he bares his teeth like an animal whoās cornered and trying very hard to seem intimidating anyway. āaway with you,ā he says through a hiss. āthe cobra king does not wish to be bothered.ā
