this blog isn’t getting revived this is just the afterparty
i was gonna do this earlier but basically from now on i’m gonna be occasionally answering old asks that accumulated during the event as well as highligting my favorites with the tag “#best”. i might do art for some, but that’s all you should expect from now on. i might do general housekeeping and organizing to make the blog easier to navigate but otherwise this blog’s done!
if you want to send another ask i’m not answering fresh asks here, so instead send them to my main @firebuug
thank u again 4 these asks by the way even if it was only a handful of people asking i still enjoyed them a lot ajshdnd
So, the Juggernaut event is finally over, after...well, months. Gosh, I didn’t really expect it to drag out this long, but I guess that’s what happens when you’re me and you take a really long time to do this.
I’d like to take some time to say stuff and ramble for a bit, so I’ll stick a cut right here.
Hey, a huge thank you to everyone who interacted, sent in asks, and liked my content. You guys were a big reason why I kept this thing running till the end. Otherwise, I would’ve abandoned it a long time ago, like I do with every other project. Seriously, thank you so much.
I’d like to specifically thank Ghost, Atari, Wilson (<3), and Candy for being super supportive of me and the event as it played out, from the animation down to the finale. You guys mean so much to me and I really don’t know what I would’ve done without you, haha. I wish I could make it up for you guys someday, and give you something in return for all the overwhelming love and support, but for now, just take my really badly worded love and affection pls
Uhhh big thanks and credits to Atari and Wilson for letting me use their OC’s in the event! Clive and Atari belong to, well, Atari! And Apoccy and his Apoccybot belong to Wilson. I loved having them all in the event, it made it fun, and I’m super sorry if I ever effed up on them, haha.
Obligatory thank you and credits to BlankMediaGames for basically spawning this and inspiring me to make an entire full-fledged OC canon based off their game....oops
And I think that’s pretty much it!!!
As for the rambling, catch this: I was planning on this being an animated thing. I mean, could you imagine?! I probably would’ve finished in next year’s November! I’m glad I chose to write it out even though I’m not very confident in my writing ability and am really bad at going over my work for typos and consistency mistakes. Thank you guys for putting up with that.
Uh..I think that’s it. From now on I’ll probably just post my favorite asks I still have in my inbox either here or on my main (probably my main), but otherwise this blog’ll just be kept up as an archive. If you want to send my OC’s asks, please do that on my main!!!
Speaking of asks, we’ve been kinda keeping this idea secret for a while, but now that the event’s done, I can plug it. My boyfriend and I are going to be running an ask blog for our OCs, Apoccy and Buggy, post-juggernaut event, so if you want to support them and our little blog, the URL is @arsonislegalnow !!!! We’re super excited to run one together!!
Thank you so much!!! And that’ll be it for now.
Thanks for the fun times, I had fun, and I hope you did too!
The Juggernaut, now stabilized and happy, followed Mendel and Mari into the study, where they would be resting for the night. Clive helped the two move out the big table and few chairs into the main room to allow for the Juggernaut to rest comfortably surrounded in bookshelves. The fusion watched carefully, every now and then wandering off but being told to go back and sit tight where they were by the two Coven members. Finally, once the space was clear, Mendel brought over some pillows and two blankets and set them both down in a little bed area.
“Alright, Jugg. I know you’re excited and ready for anything right now, but we need to sleep tonight, okay? If you could do me a favor and try to get some rest that would be nice,” spoke Mendel, looking up at the Juggernaut. “Tomorrow we must get everyone settled and keep you in the throne room, for your safety. You’ll be able to roam freely in...a bit. You understand why, right?” Both of the Juggernaut’s heads nodded.
“I dunno how long it’s gonna be,” added Mari, “but I’ll make an announcement tomorrow when everyone’s awake and going back to their own homes.”
“Okay. Thank you.” Mendel glanced back to the Juggernaut. “Well, lie down, then. Get comfortable.” The Juggernaut hesitated before crawling down into the blankets, shifting and tossing around until it was comfortable, curled up on the carpeted floor.
“We’ve gotta get them a bed eventually. They can live over here in the Coven base,” said Mari.
“Well...if we keep the base, that is,” Mendel sighed.
“...Mendel, once you’re done here, we need to talk about that. It’s good news.” Mari smiled and turned to leave. “I’ll let you tuck your sons in goodnight. Meet me in the main room when you’re done.” Mendel stared after her, a bit confused, but shook it off quickly. He crouched down to the Juggernaut.
“I guess I am doing this now,” he chuckled, taking the end of a blanket and tucking it over the Juggernaut. The eyes on its chest area shut, but the ones over its face remained open, looking up at Mendel curiously. “Goodnight, Jugg. May you rest well.” He pat both of the Juggernaut’s heads. Some of their eyes shut as they received the pats, some merely looked off to the side. After a couple seconds Mendel leaned over and left a goodnight kiss on both of their foreheads, patting them once more before standing again. They smiled toothily, eyes all shutting as they shifted to sleep on their side.
Mendel looked back to Clive, who was watching from the doorway. He sighed and smiled.
“And I suppose you are waiting for?”
“Well...I would stay here and be tucked in and all…” Clive held his hands behind his back, kicking his leg forwards. “...Okay, I really would. But Atari told me they’re coming for us tonight. So I guess that means I can’t really...stay here…”
“Who says you cannot just rest here until they arrive? I...must admit that I do not know much of how it all works, but you and everyone else here can sleep until their time to go home comes.” Mendel glanced back to the Juggernaut, making sure everything’s alright, before heading over to Clive. “Here, we should go down to the lab really quick. Make sure everything is alright, get you asleep.” As they stepped out of the study, Mendel called out to Mari, “Stay with the Juggernaut for a bit while I take Clive downstairs, please!” Mari nodded and flew over.
Downstairs in the lab, everyone was fast asleep in the dark. Mendel made sure not to step on someone as he silently made his way down with Clive.
“Alright, get settled,” he whispered, picking up some unused blankets and a pillow for him on the way. Once Clive was sat down, Mendel set down the pillow behind him and draped the blanket over him. “Get down and go to sleep, I assume Atari will be here for you all soon.” Clive curled up and got snuggled up in the little space, placing his glasses in his jacket pocket and smiling as he finally got comfortable. He opened and eye and looked up to Mendel.
“Well?” he said quietly. Mendel stifled a laugh.
“Are you serious?” He asked, to which Clive nodded firmly.
“I’ve never been more serious in my life, Mendel.” Mendel shook his head gently as he pulled the blanket over Clive, too, giving him a little pat on the head.
“Now go to bed, and I am not getting you a glass of milk or anything like that.”
“That’s okay.” Clive smiled happily and was cozy under the blanket. “Night night, Mendel. Thank you.” Mendel nodded and gave him a brief thumbs up before making his way back upstairs.
“Mendel,” whisper-yelled Mari from the doorway of the study. Mendel perked up. The potion master motioned to him to come over, moving over to the main room. “I’ve got you good news.”
“Tell me.”
“Ophelia says we can stay here, in this town, in this lab, if we need to. We’re going to outsource.”
Mendel’s eyes lit up. “Really? I...I get to keep my lab?”
“Yes!’ Mari grinned. “She’s going out tomorrow to look for the rest of the Coven, and once she finds them they’re going out to find some new place to set up camp. They’re gonna stay there and gather members there, and we stay here and stay on the down-low. Once the coast is clear here, everyone from there is coming over here, and we can get back into the usual swing of things.”
“That...That is great, Mari! That is really great news!” Mendel smiled wide, fidgeting with his hands happily. “So I can stay here and care for the Juggernaut, and clean up the town a bit, and you...are you staying as well?”
“You bet, pal.”
“Oh, thank goodness.” Mendel laughed. “Did you talk her into this?”
“Well, I guess you could say I am a rather...persuasive person.” Mari looked to the side and held up an okay sign.
“I cannot express how much I owe you for this. Thank you, Mari.”
“Hey, it’s no biggie. Just wait until I convince her into letting you keep a snake.”
“...Will you really do that for me?”
“Hell yeah I will.”
Mendel hugged Mari, thanking her kindly, Mari giggling and repeating, “it’s no problem, it’s no problem.” The night dragged on, and soon the two fell asleep in the study, watching over the Juggernaut but soon becoming drowsy listening to their steady breathing. The town quieted down and had a peaceful, silent night, the first one they have had in ages.
Further up north, a ghost traveled alone, quickly darting his way through the forest and back to the Coven’s base, having dropped off everyone safe and soundly at the train station. He was alone, but in his mind he was comforted knowing Gene would be back at the base, sleeping soundly, waiting for his arrival. He continued on, jacket billowing behind him as he flew.
Seated in the train heading to its different stops around Massachusetts were the survivors who managed to escape Salem’s magical border, happy and resting. Rascal sat next to his backpack with Milky on his lap, petting her subconsciously as he talked with Emily, the Survivor from Danvers. They exchanged small talks that soon delved into talking about their towns, their favorite animals, their hobbies, and soon enough, manga they’ve read throughout their lives. On the other end of the train car, Mick and Amos were seated and sleeping with their heads leaned onto the seat, Sarah curled up and sprawled over the two. They had become friends during their time inside the Juggernaut, and deep inside, the Trapper was excited to get out of the town and give his daughter a safer life, a home free from murder, and the Sheriff was eager to go back home to his wife and police crew, who had thought him dead for the past year or so. Just hearing the happiness in his wife’s voice as she heard him speak once more had filled him with hope.
The train’s lights were dimmed and the air was alive with the gentle mumble of the multiple other people riding with them. For one more time, they felt as if they weren’t alone, they felt as if they were safe and going home at last.
Soon enough, a small, glowing blue portal opened up in the downstairs lab. An entity who bore no eyes, instead a little sheet of paper over where they should be, poked their head out of it. They arrived silently and without noise, and stepped out cautiously. They looked down and saw Clive fast asleep, tucked in carefully. They smiled and tapped him awake gently.
“Hey Clive,” they whispered, “Gather up your friends and we can go home, okay?” Clive blinked his eyes open drowsily, but snapped back to reality as soon as he saw them looming over him. He put his glasses on and smiled.
“Atari?!”
“Fear not, for I am here to take you home,” said Atari.
“You don’t have to say that,” Clive laughed, covering his mouth slightly with a hand to muffle the noise.
The little killer slowly woke up Farrow and Skuggy, tugging them up and awake and pulling them over carefully by their arms. The two stumbled over, still tired, but longing to go back home after all the time they had spent out in this dimension.
“You three ready?” Whispered Atari, holding the portal open with their arm casually, one leg in the current dimension and the other in who knows which.
“Ready!’ Clive replied happily.
“Uh huh,” Skuggy slurred.
“What?” Farrow asked, blinking multiple times.
“That’s a yes, I suppose.” Atari pulled the three into the portal and shut it up tight behind them as they stepped in. And so, just as suddenly as they had arrived, they were gone without a trace, wandering off into the multiverse in search of their home.
The Juggernaut rest peacefully once more. The four souls who made up the fusion rest as well-- The Arsonist, the Serial Killer, the Plaguebearer and the Werewolf-- excited to live their new life, excited to finally live happily.
For once, the town of Salem found peace in the night, and everyone in it rest easy, knowing that no harm would come onto them any longer.
