outline ; “Hiii could I maybe get the gold watchers with a child reader who just randomly appeared in their world alone?
Thanks in advance
❤ anon”
warning(s) ; canon-typical references to violence, implied child death
the gold watchers aren’t exactly known for their empathy or their paternal instincts — they’re demons born from greed, so why would they need anything other than that greed?
they’re used to enacting punishment on those who enter their hell portal: slashing, bludgeoning, capturing, incapacitating
they live for the indulgence, the sport, the violence
they’re in no way equipped to care for anyone for their own selfishness — let alone a child
so imagine their collective shock when you stumble into their estate
so small, so young, so innocent — how did you even get there?
either way it’s not like they can ask you — you’re terrified of their petrified forms and run whenever they move (which, granted, it must have been startling for you to notice something moving whenever you look away)
they have to improvise heavily to make sure you don’t get hurt or scare yourself to death — which meant fetching and making some friendlier looking masks and using signs to communicate with you
though, naturally, this was very difficult as they had to both explain their predicament to you and try to not terrify you
they didn’t want to hurt you, after all — you were only a kid
but once they got the hang of communicating with you and you stopped running away and started understanding the situation, things started to go much smoother
whenever you wanted to play you’d use a spare scrap of fabric as a makeshift blindfold, allowing your new companions to move freely
they’d leave notes around the manor and gardens with instructions and messages for you
some are kinder — think ‘take care of yourself’ or ‘your new toys are in the foyer’
but most are more basic — e.g. ‘lunch is at 12 sharp, so not be late’, ‘finish your chores’, ‘your bed still needs to be made’
they spoil you with clothes and toys — things that they have no reason to covet as they’re of no use to them, but that they have an excess of for some reason
they can be quite pompous at times, but if you’re particularly persistent then you’ll usually get what you want from them
they’re basically a large collective of rich uncles who make sure you don’t die or get bored
this does mean locking you in a room sometimes when a visitor arrives — but it’s for your own good, they promise
I have been a bit busy and stressed out since I last posted but I have regained an old hyperfixation!!!! Dark Deception my beloved!!!!!!!! Back in the day I used to be absolutely obsessed with the Gold Watchers, still am tbh, love those sobby rich assholes so much 💖
