Sighhh... I've been FORCED/j to continue my core 4 family portrait by my friend...so take jack von Pyroscythe (I might finish this art over the next two(..?) days because a vampires drawing a day keeps the cure at bay!!)
(+ a Shelby doodle I drew in the middle of colouring pyro)
I feel that a big part of Yoohankim's base dynamic is one person looking at a duo and wondering if they slot in (THEY DO).
Dokja, obviously, it has been inforced time and time again that he is an observer looking in, the fourth wall seperating him and this wonderful story. These two people are creator and creation, he is simply here to read, to observe, he is just using them to survive, using them like a cruel constellation, reading, only reading. Or at least thats what he tells himself (liarliarliar)
Sooyoung looking at these two people who have lived through eachother for their entire existence. The life and death companions, who are ever so attached to eachother even in fate, the reader and the story. Who is the author to get in the middle? They only need each other to live after all now, the creators only purpose is to keep writing, so keep writing she shall. (But it isnt, there is love, so much love, in every drop of ink. So who are the characters and reader if not given the soul of the author?)
Joonghyuk is a fictional character. That much is true, he cant reach out to two living breathing people. There is always a wall surrounding them, to be alive but not living, besides, did he ever actually get to know them? He is simply the chain from one to another, how two people communicate against all odds. And if he must keep living, keep fighting for that connection, then so be it. That is enough for him. (Its not, he wishes they would stay with him, he would do anything please please please just stay he cant do this without guidance. He is born of dreams and ideas, theirs, their most treasured love)
I hate gay people, I wish they were real.

Did it when he was younger but grew to prefer alcohol and only really does that.
John
Either the plug or leeches off of other people.
Like he just never has his own stuff, he's only smoking if someone will invite him.
He's cool enough that people don't mind but sometimes if no one has invited him he will "very stubly" try to suggest a session.
That's the only time people will get annoyed, they know damn well he's not bringing shit
He's always watching some show high too. Smiling Friends, Midnight Gospel, or Gumball
Javier
The plug, 100%
Super generous with his stuff, it's his way of bonding
Gets so excited to find out someone wants to smoke for the first time
"Oh, I got you! I'm off this weekend, you gotta smoke with me."
Has a bong collection too, it's pretty cool and he loves it.
Charles
He'll do it occasionally, like once in a blue moon really.
Does it more with Arthur if anything.
Great for a chill smoke, or if someone's freaking out and they need someone just there, they're always with Charles.
Charles will let it happen, even if they're a little noisy because he's been there unfortunately.
Mary-Beth
Did edibles once but she took wayyy more than she should've and greened out the fuck out
Figured, a bit later, a bong might be better and easier to measure so she asked to hit one of Javier's bongs.
Greened out after one hit. (This is me projecting) Decided that was wraps and she's never done anything since.
Swanson
God, everyone just wants him to switch to weed like everyone but it's been unsuccessful
It's because his tolerance is very high and they don't know why
Dutch tried to get him shrooms after reading about them but it ended in a very very heavy hospital bill and trouble with the police
Lenny
His guilty pleasures are reading a fuck ton of stories and experiences about DMT and other kinds of drugs, he's so deep into subreddits and forums.
He never actually takes them too seriously though nor has been tempted to try them.
He doesn't smoke weed too often either, maybe to focus on something.
Sean
God, when is he not stoned.
His car smells so bad.
It's gotten to the point where he'll forget full interactions with people because he was so far gone but has had enough practice to look sober.
So when they bring something up, he'll look at them all funny asking "When was that??"
Dutch wondered if it was amnesia or something until he found the drawer of empty carts. Like, it was a graveyard.
People struggle to tell if he's high or not at times but eventually they figured always.
Tilly
Never does it, has not done it, and with absolutely no interest.
John's offered a couple of times when they were younger but it was always an immediate and stern no.
It isn't that she minds it really, she just doesn't want to.
She has no problem hanging out with the others if they're smoking.
But for the love of God, please do not bring that stench into the house, it will creep up to her room and she won't be able to sleep.
Uncle
He'll try to peer pressure people to do it but, he's so corny about it
He sounds like he belongs in an 80's infomercial against drugs.
"C'monnn, everyone here does it!" and Tilly responds with the nastiest side eye.
He's so much more funnier high though? He gets genuine chuckles and laughs out of people, it might be because they're stoned too.
Goes to his ego a bit though and he tries to be funny again sober but it falls flat so badly it's a bit embarrassing.
But it's Uncle so he's not embarrassed.
Karen
Obviously prefers alcohol way more, its effects last way longer.
She hates having to do constant hits.
She does have her own cart though where she's hitting blinkers that cannot be good for her at out.
Her PR is 30 seconds while making a bet with Sean once. (Yes she threw up.)
Sean is also always asking for a hit of her cart.
Dutch
Opposite of Lenny. Hears stories about trips and thinks it's the most profound, eye opening thing of all time.
If he catches the kids smoking, he'll start babbling on about them and the deeper meaning behind these trips or whatever. Not a single soul cares at all expect for Bill.
Molly will try to listen but she really doesn't gaf.
His big secret though is he tried shrooms himself too but it was a horrendous experience.
He was too far deep into his pro-shroom trips that could never be wrong to take it back and admit not everything was right that he gaslit himself into believing it never happened and it worked.
Hosea is the only one that knows this, he lets Dutch live his delusions.
Hosea
Also, a great person to be with for a first time.
He obviously cannot be smoking anymore so he mainly watches over everyone else and observe whatever they do because they're always doing something
Though, if anyone pisses him off he will make them believe there's things that aren't actually there. Sean is the biggest victim of this.
"Hey, was that your friend you were with just now?" "What friend?" "The one behind you earlier. Tall feller, you must've not seen them."
Abigail
After having Jack, she stopped but she was starting to hate the smell and taste anyways. Blunts are the word offenders in her opinion.
If John tries to kiss her after any sesh she immediately slaps him and tells him to brush his teeth.
She'll take an edible with the girls though, after a lot of convincing and Jack put to sleep for the night.
Pearson
The best cook only when fried, it's a little jarring seeing the difference between his sober dishes.
He's like that "so booommmm tiktok" guy
Always so creative with his stuff and it comes out really good.
Everyone cheers when he decides to smoke a bit
Made edibles as gifts before, more than likely to Sean or Javier.
Sadie
Everyone thinks it'll calm her down from being so aggressive. It does not.
She might be worse actually.
But she's so incredible fun to be around, like every activity the gang decides to do was her idea.
Hosea doesn't do his tricks on her but she never pisses him off anyways.
Kieran
The only one actually doing it medically.
He'll smoke with the rest of the gang too, one of the few times he's comfortable chilling around them. He's just really quiet and never talks.
Anyone else not mentioned I js didn't have anything for them sorry </3

Summary:
The air stuck in Grian’s throat sweetly, cinnamon and sugar dancing together. He ruffled his wings. Maybe he could snag a treat before leaving, later.
Did he really want to talk to Scar about this? Grian pondered it, as he had the whole time he’d been cooped in his base. It would change things, yes, but for the better, possibly. And he couldn’t just keep it to himself. He’d never been good at being quiet.
OR:
Five times Grian came out, and one time she didn't have to.
