a part of the dust that gets your things all dirty is actually human skin. just like snakes, we need to replace your skin. unlike them, we are doing that constantly.
the hability to see colours is actually something pretty hard to do.
the monsters under your bed are your friends.
you know those supernatural games were you call spirits to your house and stuff? dont do them, because after you play, they will continue to roam around until you tell them to get out. also, dont play with spirits, please.
theres an organization called aprestos. they're specialized in taking care of cryptids, monsters, ghosts and etc. i know that because one time my monster got hurt and we couldnt go to a hospital, so some dudes w some cool clothes appeared and took care of her, it was rad.
aprestos personnel also recommends a good sleep cycle, it helps unwanted supernatural beings to mess up with you or straight up suck all the good vibes juice out of you.
stop messing up with the supernatural we have FEELINGS.
I had to wait for years to realise that I would never find something that would truly, 100% comfort me. I was a girly girl when I was younger, and when I had my “edgy phase” when I was 10-14 years old, I still had comfort on kids shows like My Little Pony and Steven Universe, althought I was also a big fan of creepypasta. I was 13, bullied, had 2 friends that I didn’t feel connected to at all (althought they were good people and I appreciated them!), and found comfort in cartoons and creepy things.
Seeing old kid shows and related media being turned into gritty, edgier shows makes me sad in many ways. I might not have been #1 fan of Winx Club or Powerpuff Girls, but I vividly remember loving these things and feeling empowered myself when I was younger, even thought there weren’t much body diversity in these shows.
Anyways I decided to take horror monsters and build a monster hospital for them because fuck the gritty and grimdark stuff that is coming from things that comforted me. I’ll make something that absolutely terrified and horrorized me as a kid and I will turn it into the most wholesome cute thing you will ever see. I made a secret organization that takes care of the supernatural world because they want to do it. They are organized in 13 departments and one of them is goblincore/naturecore/solarpunk/steampunk themed because I want to see monsters working on a big ass green factory and making food for everyone.
There isn’t a dark secret. The organization is just a bunch of people with psychology degrees giving free therapy to monsters because God they need so much help. The security department is a bunch of people dressed in black wearing cool masks whose solo work is smacking people trying to summon demons for the 814810th time. There’s an entire department dedicated to understanding culture so they can help out the various ghosts and demons. There’s a spirituality department because it’s important. Heck, there is even people dedicated to teaching supernatural kids how to read and write, for free, because it’s a secret organization and they are self-sustainable and I will post more about them.
TLDL: I got so done with gritty live-action remakes I made an entire organization dedicated to taking care of the supernatural world out of spite for not having anything to comfort me. Also I will post more about it as soon as I have time.
Aprestos is a fictional secret organization, not affiliated, connected and/or sustained by any government. It was created hundreds of years ago, and it’s sole mission is to maintain order, health and well-being in the supernatural world. This includes giving therapy to monsters, preserving supernatural history, and, of course, educating young creatures.
Aprestos is composed of humans, monsters, demons, ghosts and various other creatures. It is also divided into 13 departments, with all of them being extremely necessary for it to work. Aprestos is also a physical place, even if it’s a very, very weird one.
There are portals in the real world that lead to the interior of Aprestos. It is said that it is its own dimension/plane of reality, but that is up for debate. Nonetheless, Aprestos can bend itself and change its infrastructure at will. And, yes, Aprestos, the location itself, can be considered to be alive. Also it’s not always indoors! There’s forests in there too!
If you had to put Aprestos in a morality chart, it would probably be considered chaotic good. They follow their own rules in order for everyone to be safe and happy. You can almost consider it to be it’s own kind of government/community, but that’s again up for debate.
Anyways, if you want to read more about Aprestos’ 13 departments, I’ll give a brief explanation of them after the cut!
01 is called Energy. It’s purpose is to provide energy to the entirety of Aprestos, including food and water. The area is made of forests and small rivers. The people who work in there all wear green, and bees are considered to be this department’s creature. Lots of work with solar panels and weird supernatural forms of energy! Also, they farm, and ghost cows are a thing here. Very solarpunk-y!
02 is Crafts. It’s super important for everyone to have the items they need, so there’s an entire department for that. The things they create range from furniture and tools to advanced computers for others to use. It’s a gigantic steampunk-like factory, that can be very colorful in certain places! Those who work here wear brown, and bats are their creature.
03 is my dearest Storage. When you are a worldwide organization/community with loads and loads of things you need to use, you gotta have a GIGANTIC storage! This is a very colorful and impossible place to navigate. Think of a mix between a playground and a supermarket, but with gigantic shelves that disappear when you look up. There’s stuff EVERYWHERE! Those who work here need some protection gear, and they have a very complex system to sort everything out. They use orange, heavily inspired by kidcore, and geckos are their animal. Yes, the funky lizard, we all love them.
04 is Construction. Now things will start to get a bit more interesting. You see, sometimes supernatural creatures don’t have a home... Or a house... Or a sanctuary they might need. So what you do in these trying times? You call the Construction department! They maintain Aprestos infrasctructure and also build LOADS of cool stuff. Houses for ghosts, mini temples for entities, even small towns for those who live deep, deep in the forest! Even the materials they use are very well-chosen, because things with salt might hurt the ghosts and demons who need a new home, and, oh, no steel! Steel hurts, very dangerous! Anyways I love them, they use red, their area is made of various small and colorful buildings inspire by the tropicalia aesthetic, and alligators are their animal. I love them so much I’m-
05 is Research. OOOOH, BOOOOY, research! It’s a very big and technological place, filled up with funky inventions and super-weird constructs. Their job is to do science, but not any type of science: Supernatural science! They research how to use supernatural items and phenomena, and also things they can make for everyone else to use. Also, just... Everything else you can do with science, which is, a LOT of stuff. They figure out the perfect conditions for certain creatures to thrive, work in ecological stuff, and they also are top-tier in fire safety. Yes a lot of things explode in there, it’s science, it’s a thing that normally happens. Just a bunch of crazy scientists doing science and using it for everyone else’s well-being, just like real-life scientists. They use blue, spider is a very cool animal for them, and the overall aesthetic is very webcore/cybercore.
06 is not called Education for nothing. Someone needs to teach everyone about history, math, science, arts, everything you might think of! Doesn’t matter if you’re a kid or a 1000 year-old abomination that lives deep in the ocean, you need to learn. It’s a gigantic school carefully made so everyone can join. This means that Aprestos’ education system is very different from ours, but also very inclusive. Student’s interests are encouraged, as well as doing your own research to show to the class. Teachers help a LOT, and also explain LOADS of stuff. Supernatural kids are not hard to deal with, actually. Their aesthetic is inspired by brazilian schools, everyone who works there wears yellow, and vultures are everywhere around here. Students love these funky guys.
07 is Spiritual. Because of Aprestos’ nature as a thing that wants to take care of the entire supernatural world, it’s CRUCIAL for the spiritual part of things to be well taken care of! Different religions have different creatures, after all. This location is very dreamy-like, with lakes, forests and other natural landscapes from all over the world. Those who work here wear purple, and their jobs range from assisting in religious rituals (very important!), spiritually purifying certain creatures and places, and even helping other departments when dealing with more spiritual creatures. There’s a lot of temples and churches here from essentially every religion that exists. Everyone is free to come here to pray and ask for advice. Aesthetic is dreamcore, and the anglerfish is a creature that is always roaming around there.
08 is Culture. Remember when I said Aprestos preserved supernatural history? Well, these are the guys. They are researches, too, but are much more focused on keeping and preserving cultures from all across the world. This sometimes is a very painful job, because so many cultures are forever lost. This department often receives its items from those who are a part of supernatural cultures. They do not steal things, and only show the items they are allowed to show. This place can be very cold in some areas, and it can remind someone of the ocean. There’s a part called “the fridge”. It’s a cold place where items can be perfectly kept for centuries to come! Color here is mint-green/cyan, with shark as their animal! Seapunk is their main aesthetic.
09 is our rat, Security. Not in a “hey these are the cops” way, but “hey these are the guardians” way. Aprestos has an emergency hotline supernatural creatures can use, and when trouble arrises - either with teenagers doing rituals or adults locking monsters in terrible prisons -, these guys are called, and they will protect those who need them. Now, imagine doing a ritual, hurting a terrifying monster, and a bunch of people/creatures in black with creepy masks appearing, and they are very angry with you. Yeah, terrifying, right? But you know what is very, very cool? These guys make urban legends. Actually, some of them are urban legends. They keep an eye out for humans and supernatural beings, after all, some of them can be very aggressive with humans. Also these dudes have cool bikes that can fly and are insect-themed. Their place looks like a maze of abandoned but well-kept buildings, they wear black, and rats are their babies. They love rats and are specially trained to actually help, including calming down those in panic. And don’t worry, they don’t kill anyone.
10 is Law. Ahem, SOMEONE needs to make SOME rules we can all follow, specially in the supernatural world! It’s a living hell because sometimes rules can’t be universal and sometimes they can be but with certain cases they don’t apply and... Someone please hug those who work in here, please, they are so done. They do an excellent job but, booooy, is it hard to do! They live in a very fancy (and big) building, inspired by art nouveau. They wear silver and their dear animal is a scorpion. They can look very intimidating but they are all just! Very tired!
11 is Law’s biggest frenemy, Justice. They do the law, and they do the judgments, and they do this VERY WELL, thank you! Sometimes, supernatural beings do commit crimes, or just, sometimes, court cases must be created for other things. These guys do it all, with special groups dedicating themselves sorely to the morality of certain judgments. Is it really moral to judge an aggressive creature for attacking humans? Is it not? As you can tell, it’s very complicated, but these guys nail it. They are also very tired, please someone give them a break! They wear gold, royalcore aesthetic, and frogs as their dearest animal! Also, Justice and Law love-hate each other, sometimes because “WHY ARE YOU ALTERING THIS LAW IT WAS ALREADY GOOD” “OH BUT YOU COMPLAINED FOR HOURS ABOUT EVERYTHING ABOUT IT”.
12 is my very dear Health! AKA “The Monster Hospital”, it’s a gigantic and pink hospital made specifically for the supernatural! They help Security in various cases and rescues. They treat one’s physical and mental health, with things like therapy being given to them! The doctors, nurses and various other medical professionals are all trained to listen to their patients, and they sure do an AMAZING job on everyone! Of course, with the help they get from the other departments, work became much, much easier (who guessed you needed education to prevent accidents?!), but you better respect these workers. They take care of everyone, I love them so much I can literally cry. There’s a section made specially for supernatural children, and everyone loves them so much. Health also makes supernatural medicine! They’re very good at it! Everyone here wears pink, hospital is literally their aesthetic, and snakes are their guardians!
13, finally, is Administration. These white-wearing, spacecore workers are overseers for all the other departments. They take care of the LOADS of paperwork that exists, fill out requests, and, most importantly, try to maintain order of everything. It is one hell of a job, but someone must do it, and they WILL do it. They also check if everything’s safe to use, help out conflicts that don’t require the Law and Justice departments, and, of course, cry a lot because everyone is late with their paperwork and they need it to do their job. The other departments fear them a bit because some of those who work in here are VERY intimidating, but in the end they just want some order in this beautiful chaos that is Aprestos. Also did I tell you they do their job spectacularly well? You almost don’t need to wait for things to be processed and one! Also, their animal is a wasp.
Some important info: The departments are numbered in a logic of “what do you need to make the rest work?”, AKA first of all, you need energy for everything else to work, along crafts to maintain everything. Also, you need a place to store all of that! And so on, so on.
For Health to 100% work, ALL the other departments “behind” must work. And Administration is nothing without everyone else!
Anyways, this is all for today, folks! Hope you liked it <3
