Hey nerd, how do you feel about writing a highschool au for your Habits? I wanna see what kinds of clubs and cliques they would form. Also petty low stakes drama and bullying time!!!

A Skull Council High School AU - Cliques and Freaks

Features: Centralia, Fairmount, Loathesome, Stephbit, Northstar, Forgotten Warnings: None

Forgotten would absolutely be the loner kid who’s a secret badass. He’d usually keep to himself, but when push comes to shove, he can really hold his own. He’s the kid you could run to for a shoulder to lean on, or a friend to kick someone’s ass for you. Granted, he’s not much for conversation, but he’d sweet in his own way.

Loathesome would be the detention kid, no question about it. He’d be in the back of class cracking jokes and tossing paper balls, carving things into the desk, teaching other kids how to make rubberband guns, all kinds of shit. He’d be living in detention most of the time, but there’s a certain kind of appeal to it.

Centralia would be the quiet kid that you kinda avoid for your own safety. Typically, he’d be in detention alongside Loathesome, but rather than flinging paper balls, he’d be lighting trashcans on fire, writing up lists of people he hates, and, well, definitely being the kid wearing a trenchcoat in summer.

Stephbit would be the queen bee, or at least she’d think she is. Whether or not she really ends up as the most popular girl in school is irrelevant, she acts like she owns the place, and if challenged, will destroy kneecaps, no questions asked. Getting in good with her does mean getting the best table at lunch though, since the last guy who tried to sit there without permission went missing.

Fairmount would be a theater kid, no doubt about it. He’s got the flair, he’s got the skirts, he’s got the disgusting shapeshifting! Regardless, he’s a complete delight to watch and be around. Sure, he’s a little unstable… A lot unstable, but he’s sweet, and hey, he’ll do your makeup for you!

Northstar would be jocky, but secretly a huge nerd. I’m talking dungeons and dragons every saturday night. Be careful, if he even gets the slightest idea you might think dragons are neat, you’ll end up in his basement with 12 other people raiding the dungeons of Gragnok the Dark wizard.

Centralia and Loathesome tend to stick near each other, while Fairmount tends to bounce between bugging Stephbit, fawning over Northstar, and poking Forgotten to see if he responds to him.

All of them casually bully Evan.

What if women??? What if??? Stephbit content pls!!!! (Also if you include Fembit my head will literally explode and it will kill me instantly)

Girls Night

Features: Fembit, Stephbit, Northstar Warnings: None

A girls night with Stephbit includes lots of things. Snacks, movies, caving in skulls, giggling over cat videos, but the best part is very clear;

Doing Northstar’s nails!

“We should do em’ red.” Stephbit mused, holding one of his hands. “It’ll look real nice… Actually, how about we do ours red too, let’s match.” She grinned.

“Oooh, That sounds fun!” Fembit sang out, picking up the little nail polish bottle.

Northstar wasn’t exactly there by choice, but he allowed this bullshit. If nothing else, it did bring a little amusement to the banal nature of the Skull when Loathesome was prancing about. “Do I have any say in this?”

“Nope!” “Absolutely not darling~”

“Mmh, figured as much. Well, if you insist on painting my nails red, then I am going to do your eyeshadow red.”

Fembit blinked, laughing lightly. “Pardon?”

“I have a daughter, I know how to do eyeshadow.”

“Well well, then by all means darling!”

Stephbit snickered, deciding to paint Fembit’s nails while Northstar did her eyeshadow. “Stay still, alright? I don’t wanna accidently spill this on the carpet, Loathesome will throw a hissy fit. Like he totally doesn’t drag corpses in here and smear god knows what on it or anything. No no, we must keep it pristine!”

The pair got to share a laugh, with Northstar doing his damn best not to fuck up Fembit’s eyeshadow. He doesn’t exactly want to meet the business end of whatever weapon she’s packing right now, be it a knife or otherwise. “Stop moving.”

“Make me!”

Northstar fell into what is commonly known as the ‘Dad deadpan’.

Fembit on the other hand, burst into another fit of giggles with Stephbit. “You’re making yourself look so old!” “Awww look at his frown lines!” “Did we upset you?” “Peepaw is mad!”

[beyond-the-rabbit-hole]

i think we need to see stephbit and fairmount make fun of northstar.

Family Hazing

Features: Northstar, Stephbit, Fairmount Warnings: None

God, these three are such a family to me, even if they're barely functional hehe

“Hey big shot, why are you old.” “Yeah, why do ya gotta be such a middle aged man?”

Northstar sighed deeply. To his left, Stephbit was poking his cheek repeatedly. To his right, Fairmount was hugging his arm like he owned it or something. The pair seem to have decided to harass him today, and being confined in one skull made it impossible to escape.

“Why do you have eyebags.” “What’s with the gray streaks?” “Why do you scream-sneeze?”

“Okay, both of you need to stop.” He grumbled softly.

The pair were quiet for about ten seconds before Stephbit piped up. She leaned right over up by his ear, grinning. “You make old man noises when you stand up- Ahck-!”

Stephbit choked as a spectral chain wrapped around her throat, yanking her away from him.

“That’s enough outta you.” North grumbled, only for Fairmount to giggle and chirp right after her. “You’re all scarred up, can you not heal it because you’re old- Hek-!”

Fairmount got a chain as well, yanked away from North to the other side of the room.

Does Stephbit like women? (asking for a friend…)

Stephbit’s Opinion on Women

Features: Stephbit, Fairmount, Northstar and Centralia mentioned Warnings: None

First off, she’s an avid supporter, women are awesome! Women deserve better! Women can be just as InHabited as men!

Second off, she would treat you right! Well, as right as someone currently InHabited by the personification of every horrible thing humanity has ever done can, but she’s trying, give her that much.

Thirdly, in her iteration, she had to watch her Habit jump from Evan to her, to destroy everything she knew and loved, so she kinda subscribes to the “Men ain’t SHIT” way of thinking. Granted, there are exceptions, but she’s more likely to not obliterate someone she sees herself in.

When it comes to romance, she’s kinda awkward. Can you blame her? The last time she was in a relationship, it ended with a body count in the double digits, including her own life. She’ll warm up to you, but it takes time. Expect a lot of hazing from her. If you stick it out, then you’ll unlock a different side of her.

She gets soft, sweet even, and if you’re a girl, you will be gifted a sword pretty soon. Giving someone weapons is a love language, trust her!

Since she’s been eaten by Loathesome, getting alone time is nigh impossible, but if you don’t mind being InHabited for a little while, she’ll gladly jump to your skull to hang out!

How do you feel about getting gifted dead things?

Too bad! You will be gifted dead animals the same way a cat would drop a dead bird on your bed while you’re sleeping. Be ready to clean it up, because no, she will not stop no matter how many times you ask. It’s a way of showing off that she’s totally a good provider!

Aside from that, she’s all for women! Women are adorable! She will bring weapons and dead animals and snacks and- Ah, her gay ass is not beating the allegations.

Be ready to deal with Fairmount teasing you, though his gay ass is also not beating the allegations, Northstar hazing you to make sure you’re not up to something, and of course, Centralia attempting to scare you off, or outright murder you. He’s got issues.

Don’t worry though, Stephbit adores women, so she won’t let anything bad happen. For now.

Which HABIT is the most chill? Which one is the least?

A Skull Council chillness scale - From least to most

Features: Centralia, Fairmount, Loathesome, Stephbit, Northstar, Forgotten Warnings: None

Centralia is the least chill, easily. Where Loathesome will attack people who annoy him, Centralia will kill people just for coming near him. It’s best not to hang out with him, but if you somehow gain his trust, he tends to stay quiet. He might even color in the same room as you.

Fairmount is barely chill at any given time. He’s very… On. All the time. He’s feeling everything at 100%, 100% of the time. Granted, this does make him one of the most empathetic Habits. Hanging out with him involves screwing around in his mall and bugging Stephbit.

Loathesome is definitely not one of the chill Habits. He still beats out Fairmount and Centralia, but not by much. Considering his tendencies for cannibalism and attacking people who annoy him, it’s probably best not to hang out with him.

Stephbit is chill when in the skull, but not so much online. She enjoys trolling people, but will usually calm down when things are serious. Hanging out with her involves messing with Fairmount or Northstar.

Northstar is the most chill of the awake Habits. He tends to play mediator with Stephbit to keep the rest of the skull behaved. Hanging out with him involves playing with his daughter Bonnie in the garden.

Forgotten is the most chill Habit on account of being in a coma. If he was awake, he would be between Fairmount and Loathesome in terms of chillness.

[beyond-the-rabbit-hole]

could we possibly see more stephbit?

Close Encounters of the Absurd Kind

Features: Stephbit, Fairmount Warnings: Light violence

Look, it’s not that she doesn’t believe in aliens or the supernatural or shit like that, but she has yet to see any proof of it. Well, at least until her host Steph got spooked by a movie and some noises in the attic, and was forcing her to hold a stakeout.

“This is stupid.”

“Hey, we both heard something up there, you can’t call it stupid when you heard it too.”

“Yes I can, this is stupid.”

“Shhh, I think I heard something.”

The pair listened quietly for a moment, only to jump at a sudden loud crashing in the attic.

“I told you-” “KILL!”

Steph yelped as her body bolted forward without her input, scrambling up into the attic to see what was up there. What they hadn’t expected to see was Evan. Or at least, the thing had Evan’s face.

“Ev?” “That’s not Evan dickass, that’s a Habit.”

Evan, or rather, the guy who was wearing his face, tilted his head with a laugh. “Wow, okay, wasn’t expecting to get instantly clocked… Wasn’t expecting to see myself in a Steph either though, but I’m not complaining, you’re pretty.”

“Wha- Pretty!?” Stephbit spluttered, bringing her fist back and punching him square in the face. “Get out of my attic!”

“Fuck no, you punched me in the face!”

“That’s cause’ your face is ugly.” “Rude.”

Stephbit stared at him quietly, tilting her head. “Sooo… You still go by Evan or?”

“Fairmount.” He offered a hand, grinning over at her as his nose slowly healed from being broken. “You’ve got quite the punch.”

“Thanks.” She rolled her eyes with a grin. “Hey, think fast.”

“Why- Æ-!!” Stephbit laughed as his nose cracked loudly.

Marburg, Stephbit, and Fembit interaction pls??? I love women,,

Girls Night 2 - Triple Baka, aka None Pizza with Left Beef

Features: Stephbit, Marburg, Fembit Warnings: Blood, period jokes

“Hi, I’d like to place an order for delivery?”

Stephbit was already snickering, shushing Fembit and Marburg as she tried to make an order on the phone. It’s impossible, since what they’re doing is so stupid they can’t help but crack up.

“Yeah, same address as last time, I’d like to get a large pizza- Yeah- No toppings-” “Except beef!” “Shut it Marburg- Yeah, uh no cheese either. Yes I’m sure. No sauce, I want zero toppings on this… Except beef. Yes I understand what I’m ordering, just put the beef on the left side.”

Fembit wheezed, struggling to keep Marburg’s mouth covered so she wouldn’t start cackling.

“Yup, yup, I also want as many orders of garlic bread as you can sell me. All of them actually- Just gimmie everything you’ve got in stock.” Stephbit held back a giggle, twirling the phone cord around her finger. “I know what I’m ordering, it’s not a prank, I swear.”

“Tell them to send their delivery boy in a maid outfit!” “They’re not- They’re not gonna do that.” “Ask anyway!” Fembit chimed in with a huge grin, barely restraining Marburg to keep her from laughing. “Yeah, uh, for special delivery instructions, any chance you could send the delivery boy in a maid outfit? We’ll tip really high for that.” Stephbit snickered a bit, shaking her head. “I don’t think they’re gonna do it.” “Awww.” “But there’s always a chance.”

Marburg finally managed to slip free, letting out a loud, howling laugh that Stephbit was positive the poor guy on the other end of the phone heard, no matter how much she tried to shield the phone from her cackles. “Fembit, silence the wench!”

“I’m trying, but she’s all slippery!” “Oh gross, she’s gonna get blood on the carpet.” Stephbit snickered, shaking her head. It’s not like any of them really care about blood in the carpet, it’s more about the principle of it. You don’t just bleed all over the place when someone invites you over, that’s rude.

“Pizza will be here in ten, we gotta clean this shit up.” Stephbit chuckled as she hung up the phone, looking over at Marburg. “You really gotta get that hemorrhaging under control, maybe dial it back to once a month like the rest of us?” “I don’t ask you to hold it in when you’re on your period.” She snarked right back, much to Fembit’s amusement. “Oooh, the girls are fightiiiiiing~!” “Not helping.”

Which of the Habits would accidentally (or intentionally, knowing them) start a cult

A Habit Cult Guide - Suffering and Salvation

Features: Loathesome, Centralia, Stephbit, Showbit, Deepbit, Stygianbit, Octantis, Alternaria Warnings: Mild violence, Culty stuff

All of the Habits do have a circumstance where they would be likely to start a cult, but the main culprits that would start one unprompted is a much shorter list.

Loathesome

For him, starting a cult is as simple as keeping the skull council contained. Which is to say he’s not great at it. He’d certainly try to start one, no doubt about it, but at some point, he’d get bored and likely kill off or eat all the other members of the cult, most likely both. If he starts serving up koolaid with a huge, stupid grin on his face, don’t drink it. Just don’t. He knows what it means, we know what it means, just don’t do it.

Centralia

He wouldn’t know that what he was doing would be considered starting a cult, but it absolutely would be one. All eyes on him? No others before him? Lots of people only allowed to pay attention to him and give him things and adore him? Can you spell cult? He wouldn’t allow people in the cult to leave, with fire being the punishment. It’s not his fault he has abandonment issues, but he’s gonna make it everyone’s problem.

Stephbit

She would intentionally start a cult, and it would be centered around herself. Give her things! Worship her! Do stupid shit for her entertainment! She’d be loving every second of it, at least until she gets bored, then, much like Loathesome, everyone in the cult would end up dead. Where she differs is Stephbit would be hunting them for sport. She might even invite Northstar or Fairmount along, the trio eager to torment the remaining cult members.

Showbit

He wouldn’t consider it a cult, more of an audience, but it absolutely would be one. He looooves the attention and will soak up every last drop of worship directed at him. His cult would be the kind where sacrifices are made whenever he feels like it, broadcasted live for his adoring audience. He doesn’t really give a shit if cult members leave or not, more always arrive, and he can always collect more by force if he needs to.

Deepbit

He already has a cult dedicated to him as he is known as The Dredge to his followers. Being an eldritch horror, he slots nicely into a more Lovecraftian cult role, being known to drive his followers to insanity for his own amusement. He feeds off their misery, the only upside to being in his cult is that they are given protection from other Habits. Considering the current Habit cannibalism trend, that perk is rapidly becoming pointless.

Stygianbit

He is very likely to start a cult, but it wouldn’t be one that would last long. He also falls into the eldritch horror archetype as Deepbit, but to an even larger extent. He wouldn’t be around his followers directly, communicating through broadcasts from many millions of lightyears away that would be incomprehensible for most people. Coming into contact with him would 100% kill cult members so it’s for the best. Eventually though… He’d come meet them.

Octantis

He wouldn’t start a cult himself, but one would form around him as people become aware of his existence. He’s a half-frozen, half-rotting monster, who spends all his time at a lake? Prime cult material! He’s the “Guardian” of this lake, so why not worship him for keeping them safe? He wouldn’t be opposed to gifts and some worship, but since he values his solitude, there would come a point where he would lash out and massacre the cult.

Alternaria

He also wouldn’t start a cult, but it would just happen around him as people come into contact with him. With how he makes people sick around him, it would be more of a cult not to worship him, but an attempt to pacify or contain him to keep the rest of the world safe. Would it stop him from getting out and causing chaos? Probably not, but he’d figure out real fast that the cult members are willing to give him stuff to not kill, so he’d abuse that privilege so much.
