#PRAYBIRD: ind. original character multi muse. written by dillon; twenty-five, they/them, lesbian. triggering themes will be present. mutuals only, minors do not interact.

a study in: loss of identity, small town horror, parasites, generational trauma, vanishing acts, haunted narratives, childhood as a long wish to be elsewhere, self destruction, breaking the cycle.

LINKS: directory. headcanons. interest tracker. OTHER BLOG(S): crushsung. nepoboyfriend. visceraldose.

RULES:

triggering content will be present, including but not limited to themes involving emotional abuse, child neglect and abuse, death, violence, and substance use. none of these subjects will be written in graphic detail, but are prevalent in this story. in addition to the aforementioned themes, this story is heavily influenced by the horror genre and may not be suitable for everyone. i will tag whatever i can, but please use your own discretion if you decide to follow.

i do not have a ton of triggers myself, but i do ask that others please tag images of snails, slugs, and any content involving self harm.

i'm open to writing n.sfw content if we have (heavily) plotted and know each other fairly well, but i'd prefer to keep anything of an explicit nature on disc.ord. sexual content may be implied here and there, but won't be written graphically here.

please note that two of the characters written here, eleanor and marlene, are minors. marlene has an older verse, eleanor does not. i expect everyone to treat them both appropriately; anything less than that will result in blocking. marlene will not be shipped with in verses where she is a minor. eleanor will not be shipped with at all.

iconless, mostly. sometimes not. not particular focused on visual aesthetic at the moment; i keep formatting fairly simple, but feel free to do whatever works best for you.

a little bit about me: hi, i'm dillon. aspiring screenwriter, gothic horror enthusiast, would-be hamlet impersonator, best friend of snoopy, and many other things. i have insomnia so i'm often here at odd hours. mutuals are always welcome to bother me, either here or on disc.ord (available on request!)

send some of these. specify muse, otherwise i get to eat you.

i know i said that ellie will be written very selectively here (she still is), but i would like to gauge who is actually interested in writing with her. this isn't a guarantee that i will write her opposite your muse because it's really a case-by-case basis and it's something i am most comfortable with if we know each other a bit or have at least plotted, but i will of course take everyone's interest into consideration! so if you are interested in writing with ellie, please give this post a like. that way i know if it's okay to throw her your way when i send inbox things or come to you to plot, etc. thank you!

@antichosen. continued.

jack knows a thing or two about ghosts. he still sees those ghosts sometimes, when he looks in the mirror and into those eyes of his. it's the same pair of eyes they both had. (his brother. ellie bird.) a glassy shade of greying blue, wide and rounded. there are reminders of his ghosts everywhere he goes. it is unsettling to know he shares his features with the dead.

there's no good answer for her, but he tells her what he knows best. "you bury them," he says, deadpan, taking a drag off his cigarette, "deep, deep down in a box. and you never open that fucking box."

the siblings ...

i need to give jamie a nice boy to fall in love with because between ellie/marlene and jack/teddy, this story is about ill-fated lovers and it hurts me

The many shades of Blue in “MOONLIGHT”

[praybird]

thinking about ellie and marlene

[praybird]

the way they were each other's first love but they never got to be open about their feelings for each other, much less really have a relationship. how technically speaking it was only ever a mutual "crush" because it never went further than liking each other from a safe distance, but in actuality, at the core of it, it was love. the way they only hung out in private because they weren't publicly known as friends and it just felt special to them to have this secret thing that only they could talk about. how the only person who knew ellie loved marlene was jamie, not even because she told him, but because he just knows everything without her telling him. the way jamie only came to this realization after ellie had died, when he saw marlene at the funeral. how he just knew from the look in her eye that they had something there and how she'd never be the same again after this.
