Melon Husk

If you ever see me posting about Melon elsewhere, I'm talking about Elon Musk, and Melonheads are his slavering devotees.

Obscure, I know, but it tickles me.

Blurb #10

I'm going to try to share 70 blurbs from my WIPs and unfinished fics to celebrate reaching 70 posted fics! To help with this endeavor, please feel free to send me a word or a fandom you know I write for, and I'll share the blurb. IDK if I'll get 70 prompts, but let's try it! Send as many as you want!

“Come on man, we’re not all going to fit in Thompson’s van!” “Yeah yeah, I can handle being responsible for Mabel and Dipper, but five teenagers too? Give me a break.” Robbie punched Soos in the arm. “Oh get real, Big Dude, don’t want to turn into Captain Buzzkill, do ya?” He pointed at Dipper. “Dude, you’re not helping your case.” Soos argued back. “Status update: this is going to be a long night.” “Uh~guys? My mom said that I have to ride in the front seat, cause it’s not safe in the truck bed.” Thompson squealed. “Nate, Lee,” Wendy called, throwing them a roll of duck tape. “Secure Thompson to the roof.” The teens high-fived each other while Thompson moaned. “So, Dr. Funtimes.” Mabel waggled her eyebrows. “What else does the book say about the Watermelon people?” “Melonheads, Mabel.” He corrected. “And it just says that they are likely to be inhuman due to the unnatural head growth.” “Psh, so they have big heads. Dipper has a big head.” Robbie shrugged. “That’s what I said!” Laughed Mabel. Dipper elbowed her. “Alright dudes, let’s get this over with.” Soos called, while everyone piled in. Wendy and Soos took front seat, while Dipper and Mabel sat in the back. The rest of the teens sat in the truck bed. “Melonhead hunting! Melonhead hunting!” They cheered. “Hey Dipper, should we have told Grunkle Stan where we were going?” “Nah, I doubt he’ll even notice we’re gone.” As the truck spend off into the woods, one could here the distant cry of a young man, “Are you guys really going to leave me up here?!”

Interview the Writer meme (also including IC responses bc it's fun)

20. favorite cryptid(s)?

ic: This is a very interesting question. What you muggles define as cryptids are most usually magical creatures. Except for mothman. He does not exist. My favorite magical creature is a basilisk.

ooc: I went through a very long period of time where I thought it would be nice to adopt a chupacabra puppy and raise it like a dog, much like the hellhound in good omens. Adopting wild animals is generally impractical and frowned upon, however. They could eat your siblings.

Also, for your consideration: melonheads. When I was a kid my cousin told me melonheads lived behind the local DMV. Well he was clearly lying as I have been behind the DMV and there is no space for them other than a dumpster and a field.

This week we’re getting back to our cryptid roots with an American legend, the melonheads. With various stories from Ohio, Connecticut, and Michigan we promise this episode will make you wary of the woods, but you’ll learn about hydrocephalus!

WEEK 17: MELONHEAD

Another week in the epic Crypt-A-Long, a cryptid-themed tribute to the annual Geek-A-Long from Lattes and Llamas. You can visit their website for instructions, suggestions about needles and gauge, and even a special yarn designed for the Geek-A-Long! Keep coming back to my blog for cryptid charts.

Melonheads have a couple of different origin stories but all seem to agree that they began as orphaned children who were either deformed or experiment on (maybe both) and mistreated by those who were supposed to be caring for them. Eventually they escaped, murdered their keepers, and went to go live in the woods, where they eat roadkill and attack anybody they meet.
