Steve figures out something about Eddie here, what ever could it be? Go read and find out!
Had an great angsty Dreamling idea - somehow either Hob or Dream gets trapped in Hell and instead of playing the oldest game with whoever is breaking the other out, Lucifer forces Dream to experience what his son had to: to walk back through Hell, his love behind him, unable to check if he's still there. And no doubt Lucifer would pull out all the stops to make the leader look back. I think it'd hurt so much more for Dream to lead too, but either way would be So Painful.
The sky is the smeared grey of ash and soot and a world that never sees the sun, that never feels the touch of warmth or the taste of joy, and endless burned cinders sift down like snow. High on the hill, the dark citadel stands alone, towers buried in the sulphuric clouds, and Dream forces himself to keep to a steady pace, his expression cold and unmoved, even as Squatterbloat snickers and hisses and cracks his whip. "Come on, Dreamlord! Move your eternal arse! You aren't going to keep the Morningstar waiting, are you?"
"Of course not." Dream can hear moaning and whispering and wailing from the catacombs that surround them, shadows flickering just at the edge of perception, weird and wild monsters that have waited an eternity for just such a chance as this. He does not turn his head, he does not look left or right. "Lead on, Gatekeeper."
Squatterbloat looks disappointed that he's being deprived of the chance for some high-quality taunting, but Lucifer must really be impatient, because the demon mutters, clacks his teeth, and speeds up again. They climb the narrow, winding stair, where a freezing wind is blowing so hard that Dream staggers, almost losing his balance. For a terrifying instant, he sees nothing but the endless black-rock abyss and the hordes of chittering, howling, hungry demons gathered at the foot of the mountain, burning torches and beating drums, slavering for blood. If he is so unfortunate as to fall, he will not be getting up again.
In a few more moments, however, the dreadful ascent is over, and Squatterbloat pulls the bell-rope. The torches burn with greenish, eerie flame, the portcullis rattles up, and the Gatekeeper proceeds inside, Dream following close on his heels. "My lady," Squatterbloat announces, in the odious, groveling persona of extreme deference that he adopts around his infernal mistress. "He's here."
"Ah. Dream of the Endless, at last." Lucifer Morningstar turns from where She stands in icy majesty, Her wings black against the white silk of Her robe. "I was beginning to think you weren't coming."
Dream has no time for this. "Morningstar," he growls, low and dark as the storms of hell itself. "Where is Hob Gadling?"
"He's there." Lucifer points with one carelessly elegant hand. "You have my word, I have visited no undue harm upon him. Yet."
Dream hardly hears Her. He races toward the dark cage that stands at the far side of the throne room, watched gloatingly by the Lilim, Mazikeen, who doubtless is hankering to practice her torturer's art upon the occupant. Dream reaches out, grasping desperately at -- yes, it's Hob, he is scruffy and dirty and freezing and frightened, but at least he is in one piece and he is breathing, and does not appear to have been used as a demon's chew toy. Dream's voice is more frantic than he has ever heard it. "Hob. Hob, are you all right?"
"Alive, at least." Hob manages a smile, but Dream can see the abject terror in his eyes. "So, any chance of us getting the fuck out of here?"
"I'll attend to that," Dream promises, with one more quick squeeze of Hob's hand. Then he lets go and turns around, facing down the Devil Herself with just as much cold imperiousness. "Our quarrel has nothing to do with the human, Morningstar. Release him."
10 and H for the oc ask game? 👀
From this list of questions
I'm gunna do these for both Julien and Seth, for fun, and because I can:
10. What lie do they most frequently remember telling? Does it haunt them?
Julien lies more by omission than anything and downplays certain parts of his past. This isn't done maliciously, but out of a very real fear of being judged for it or being pitied for it. It haunts him in the way that it stifles him and kills a lot of potential friendships and relationships: he can't be honest about the things he's experienced, and that tends to build a wall between himself and others.
Seth lies mostly about his sexuality, but this is mostly a lie he tells himself. He struggles to reconcile himself as a bisexual man and tries to justify a lot of it as just feeling close to the person he's attracted to (Julien). The mental gymnastics get harder to do when it becomes a) hooking up with them more than once and b) being attracted to TWO people (Julien and Angel). He does eventually come to the conclusion that labels don't really matter and he's not going to care about it as long as he's happy, but there's a solid like 5 years of cognitive dissonance to work through first.
H) What trait do you admire most?
Julien is... a far stronger person than he gives himself credit for. He's used to thinking of himself as, and being seen as, pretty helpless. But when it matters most, especially for the people he cares about, he knows how to buck up and get their backs. It scares the hell out of him to assert himself since that historically hasn't ended well for him, but he does it because he knows it's right, and because he cares a whole lot.
Seth values freedom, particularly of expression and art, and is loud about what he thinks and feels. He doesn't let people try to undermine or undersell his music, nor is he interested in censorsing himself for the comfort of others when he's talking about the Real Shit(tm). Like yeah he's stubborn and a little short-tempered, but he's pretty steadfast in his convictions.
I would love to know more about For in our great sorrow!! 💖
Awwww thank you Sav for the ask! 🥰 I had to wait a bit with answering it, because I handed part of it in for a drabble game and I couldn't reveal it was mine until now.
The thing is, I love the idea but sometimes, words won't come (which sucks), so this story died a quiet death. But that means, I can share what I have with you, it's not much but you get an idea 🫶
Sad Steve under the cut
And I would be delighted to see some of Sex Shop Stobin!!
And I would be delighted to share! Here ya go, bub
"Dingus. You've gotta understand why he may have been a bit sensitive about that comment, right?" "Yes, Robin, I'm not a complete idiot." "You're not an idiot, you just make idiotic choices sometimes," she corrected sternly, flicking his arm. He nodded sullenly. "Yeah, and this time my idiotic choices probably completely fucked up my chances with him." She rested her chin on his back, arms moving to join his on the countertop. "Wanna get wine drunk and cry about our hopeless love lives tonight?" "Obviously."
MAKE ME WRITE MY WIPS
Dive Bars, Meddling Family, and the Metalhead Enigma for WIP Weekend? :O
Of course!!
He didn’t want the nail polish to be a thing. It’s why he picked a clear coat, and it’s why he didn’t tell Robin that he took it. Steve just wanted to see what it looked like on his nails, and- Well. It looks good.
Make me write more!!
Squeeeeeeeeeze!!! You've been given a hug! Send this to all the people who deserve a hug. See how many you get back :) Now let the hugging begin! 💜
WE’VE BEEN OVER THIS!!! I am the tsundere friend I am big and scary you cannot do this to me!!!!!
Listen, weird things happen when you live on the ARK as long as the Posse has. That includes finding new and creative religions. Come find out which one gels best with you -- and where to place your faith should you find yourself abducted and uploaded onto a giant spaceship full of dinosaurs.
Please let us (me, @patchworkgargoyle , @crowtrobotx , and @hell-on-training-wheels ) know which of our ARK: Survival Evolved religions you join.
They’re exceedingly silly and critter-based because we are silly people and we play this game to the point of despair and madness.
