the smokey musk was discernible upon entering the warehouse, becoming increasingly prominent until it fully engulfed every sense within the van gogh room. it wasnât domâs first choice, but heâd gotten lost, and it was the closest path of escape from whatever was going on in the margaret keane room. âhey,â he spoke up, catching sight of a figure that was familiar or appeared familiar, at least. either way, he held up the second water bottle he had with him in offering. âkinda hard to breathe in here, huh?â @radopensâ
it was a bad idea to be here, they thought - tittered about it, swirling the contents of a frida kahlo drink around in itsâ clear cup - they had mixed all the punches at once and hadnât touched the drink since, just stared at the colors until theyâd grown murky and blended, until the drink itself was nothing more than paint water. âhey,â though his voice was familiar - it sounded discombobulated, had viktor jerking his head from one side to the next until their eyes landed on dominic - lip twisted into a partial grin, âhey,â he repeated, then, lifting off from where they had leaned and grabbing the water bottle, âfucking - very kind of you, dom. brownie points or whatever the fuck that means. sexy, too. summer did you well.â half of him had mind to just chuck the other drink - toss over the sunflowers, ruin someoneâs night - but viktor restrained, showed restraint. like a dog with a choke collar, imaginary prongs pressed to his jugular. âyeah - fucking, stuffed. you turning faint? need a fucking - pillow, smelling salts? the fucking, uh - basquiat room isnât too fucking, terrible.â
Elias sat in his truck, anxiously drumming his fingers against the steering wheel. He knew that Viktor might not even come out, might think it best to leave him to his own devices. However, he hoped the urgency in his text would alarm the other just enough to meet him.
We have to talk. Itâs important.
Surprised to see the shadow of a person open up the front doors of the Noland residence, he knew it had to be Viktor considering the time. 2:03am. Shoving the door of the passenger side open for the other, he gestured toward the seat.Â
âGet in. You donât have weapons on you, do you?â
@viktcrrâ
We have to talk. Itâs important.
He stared at the text for a while - longer than he shouldâve, probably, half leaning against the headboard of his bed, elbow propping him up at an awkward angle. Hadnât left it, that day - probably wouldnât have at all if it hadnât been the chill at the back of his neck; hairs standing. With a grumble and a swear - Viktor lifted himself up and out of bed, slipping on slides and shoving the usual necessities into the pockets of his pajama pants before walking out the door.
Somewhere between then and now - he had lit a cigarette, smoke wafting through the halls and through the front door as he stepped out, dangled from his lips as he made his way towards Eliasâ vehicle.Â
âNo,â Viktor lied, sliding into the passenger seat with only a moment of hesitation - something hadnât felt right about this, somehow; he swallowed down the remarks he couldâve made, then, clicking on his seatbelt before twisting his head towards the other, âThe fuck we going, big boy?â

biography.
born to mama and papa (preacher) samuels in rochester, new york - fifteen minutes after his twin sister, tatiana samuels. years later, rosa samuels joined the gang.
was an awkward, quiet kid growing up, he didnât interact well with others and preferred being left alone to dig up worms and draw on the walls of their childhood home. the only exception was his twin, really.
as he got older he grew out of this, but instead became like ⌠sort of an asshole? maybe to compensate for years of childhood awkwardness. heâs the sort of person who will bite the hand that feeds him & developed into a full time nuisance by middle school, unlike tatiana who was much more subtle about her conniving manners.
always has been a fan of âdarkerâ materials. grim & creepy morbid shit. probably the biggest tim burton fan, ever since he was a kid ⌠not a good look for a preacherâs son, but he never really felt âinâ with the rest of his family to begin with. classic black sheep syndrome.
drew disturbing pictures as a kid that probably prompted one or two or five phone calls home to assure everything was fine.
just really had a knack for art at a young age, from drawing to painting to playing with clay. itâs always been his Thing and probably is the only thing heâs good at.
being twins with tatiana was hard. they were near opposite besides both being quite mean-spirited. tatiana handled being in public better, left a better image behind - but viktor had talent, more than she did. they loved each other deeply - yâknow, those unbreakable twin bonds as cliche as it sounds - but found each other as competition for their parentsâ attention. a rivalry for affection.
in high school is when viktor really started to act out. it started extreme, like losing his virginity in their church and vandalism around the neighborhoods. faked being possessed in the middle of sunday service & almost had an exorcism performed on him.
his only redeemable trait was like ⌠just his sheer talent in the arts. was in a 3D art AP course and specialized in sculptures. he could pretty much create anything he wanted with enough dedication.
because he was the problem child, the one who deserved to be disciplined for all his antics, tatiana could sneak away and get away with whatever she wanted much easier. on the bright-side, for her, i guess.
not a very motivated person - wasnât planning on going to college, much less going to radcliffe but his parents literally wrote & sent his college application for him because they werenât going to house a deadbeat but had too much heart to kick him out onto the streets. cool!
heâs actually pretty smart but he just doesnât apply himself. has a minor in english because he didnât care for an extra course-load, but heâs good at writing & analyzing literature. is going to use it to write and illustrate his own series of children books with a style similar to tim burtonâs. not for the kids, but because he likes to leave a trail of terror in whatever he does.
has been experimenting with himself since high school but college is where he really had started to crack down on himself. was out as pansexual & nonbinary by his sophomore year of college just ⌠not to his parents, who donât really need to know.
if you asked him if he believed in twins having a psychic connection with each other - heâd tell you he wouldnât know. it felt believable at times, but sometimes he had no idea what was going on inside of tatianaâas head. on the other hand - viktor had always felt oddly transparent to her, like she knew all of his moves before he did. the only person who could predict him accurately.
( TW DEATH, GRIEF, OVERDOSE / HOSPITALIZATION BEYOND THIS POINT )
when tatiana disappeared, viktor knew something was up. it was a twist in his gut, pure instinct that something wasnât right. and it wasnât right - and when she was proclaimed missing, they couldnât find her.
and when tatiana died - viktor knew. it felt wrong, something cut so severely in him he could pinpoint her death to the second. he didnât know how, or why, but he knew it. knew it before anybody else had.
afterwards he went on a sort of bender. heâd begun to struggle with a mild drug addiction late senior year of high school / early college, but he was managing it up until this point.
his mental health had also sunk to an all-time low, when itâd never been great to begin with. (manic & depressive episodes. once fixated on a sculpting project for six months and then knocked it off the table and destroyed it as soon as he finished it for no apparent reason.)
tatianaâs body wasnât found immediately, and when it was ⌠viktor went off the rails. ended up overdosing & being hospitalized. spent six months in & out of psychiatric care after that.
came back to radcliffe to finish his senior year because ⌠for the reasons above, he hadnât been able to complete it. just wants to get his credits and get out of here.
is still dealing with a lot of trauma & grief, especially since the one year anniversary of tatianaâs death was this month (january) - causes him to spiral and be unpredictable in regards of his mental health. he stopped taking his medication, so. :/ some days are alright, other days are pretty bad.
UPDATE: now that summerâs come n go ... viktor hs been thru <3 a lot <3 recently. switched therapists (his :/ last one got her license revoked) & started new medications, went to a treatment center briefly âcos .. he wasnât doing too well :/ bt now heâs back baybey! trying to be better n trying to be sober but ... :/
personality.
the human embodiment of a gremlin that was fed after midnight. a goblin, if you will. one of those cats with a narrow head and really big ears ⌠thatâs them!
a big horror & halloween enthusiast. loves the old campy horror movies & probably has an abundance of masks from different movies. dresses like a grimy millennial beetlejuice more than they should because they just ⌠love those black & white vertical-striped pants.
can appreciate the lore & cryptids at radcliffe and likes to feed into the fear that surrounds them. is probably the cause of a few âanomaliesâ and âparanormal sightingsâ because theyâre just ⌠a jerk.
fashion alternates between e-boy (they would be tiktok famous if they were 17 & didnât think that a majorly minor based app was weird.), millennial beetlejuice, and goth in a crop top & sweatpants. big fan of crop tops and a big fan of sweatpants.
they can be really fucking mean? petty, aggressive, a major instigator. will literally spit in your face for little to no reason, you could just look at them the wrong way. the kind of person who will stick their gum into someone elseâs hair. other than that? theyâre like ⌠sort of okay. theyâre not always mean, just a dick about 90% of the time lmao
like okay yeah theyâll call someone a stinky bitch for no reason except they feel like it and believes it. itâs fine, theyâre fine, weâre fine.
despite the fact that theyâre probably getting into a fight whenever, considers themself to be a lover and not a fighter but thatâa primarily because they fuck a lot. uses it as a coping mechanism, like theyâre this big fancy carnival show thatâs like âcome one, come all! fuck the dead girlâs twin brother!â and itâs ⌠a Lot. might have a problem with hypsersexuality but theyâre not fully aware of it.
the preacherâs whore son, basically :)
pansexual & nonbinary, switches between he & they pronouns often and without a pattern, but they have such a fragile grip on their identity that you could call them âdog-faced bitchâ and theyâd turn around like. sup.
vastly impulsive ⌠like i said, they destroy their own creations for the fun of it. spends all teir money on useless shit, will cheat on someone because they feel like it & likes the thrill, screams into the night sky frequently like a cat in heat.
will also spend months creating useless shit for no reason too. spent six of them sculpting a hollowed out tree the size of them & then took a sledgehammer to it.
theyâre very super dramatic. would play the organ at church when nobody was looking after them and service was about to start. would just churn out these super haunting, creepy melodies like they were phantom of the opera. would do the same exact thing at home on their keyboard with the pipe organ setting whenever they got grounded until their parents took it away HBDSJFNGKH
will absolutely not talk about their âtime awayâ because itâs not anyoneâs business, not even their own younger sister. still refuses to talk about tatianaâs death, or their mental health, or their addiction (fallen back into it but it hasnât gotten severe ⌠yet :/), or anything involving their own emotions.
will just change the topic abruptly, no warning. asks about the jonas brothers instead and they fucking hate the jonas brothers.
that being said theyâre absolutely not over tatianaâs death & itâs to the point of obsession over it. like thereâs some kind of secret that needs to be uncovered, even though there just. isnât. tatiana was their rock and they were pretty much dependent on her. kept them grounded. could control them when nobody else could, got into their head easier than others. itâs sort of like rosa lost two siblings that day because viktor hasnât been the same since.
emotionally unavailable while also crying twice a day. cries during their brawls but still wins. is stony-faced when they tell you they cheated on you with your much hotter best friend.
will tell you straight up what they want from you, no bullshit & no beating around the bush. just blunt. if they want to fuck, nothing else, then thatâs it. if they feel deviation or developing feelings then theyâll ghost in less than a second. is awful like that but feels no shame.
but also emotional as shit and itâs confusing. will cry on a whim and then flip you off if you try to console them or ask them whatâs up. will bite you.
they go to therapy but they just fuck around and wastes their therapistsâ time ⌠also is fucking their therapist, but thatâs neither here nor there. so theyâre not really getting the help they need.
likes to be intimidating but not ⌠with their body or anything because theyâre a TWIG but uses their love & knowledge of horror and creepy shit to their advantage. has an abundance of fake blood. has channeled the energy of jack nicholson and used it on tatianaâs boyfriends before (also is a big fan of sfx makeup & has dabbled in it)
probably chases kids around with a chainsaw without the chain on halloween every year.
generally never doing good, both mental health wise & morally. would probably steal candy from a baby for funsies.
i donât know if thereâs a good to them somewhere deep down, but they donât see any issues with themself either. nothing really breaks through to them anymore because the only person who ever made them stop and think about their actions was tatiana, and well, yâknow. :/
an introverted reclusive type who doesnât like most people or going out, but does so anyway if it means a quick high & a cheap thrill.
pretty observant and likes to analyze people even though theyâre often like ⌠partially wrong. judgmental because they like to make people feel bad, not because theyâre a righteous mighty person. because theyâre not. so like, a hypocrite!
wanted connections.
a roommate⌠but itâs an absolute nightmare to live with him.
enemies⌠because viktor would have a lot of themâŚ
familiar faces⌠people who knew tatiana or of her / were her friends. maybe even those who dated her, and who viktor wouldâve tried to intimidate / scare at any given chance :/
pitiful glances⌠people who take pity on viktor and he hates it sooo much.
hooligan gremlin kids⌠just a friend group of grown ass adults who do drugs and fuck shit up around town like theyâre edgy teenagers.
high school girlfriend⌠probably the one he lost his virginity to inside his family church :/
childhood acquaintances⌠people who knew him from his youth.
exes⌠good & bad terms, but mostly bad terms because viktor is an actual demon. probably cheated on them.
soft⌠i donât know if heâs soft towards anyone and/or is capable of it but we can try. we can try.
unrequited⌠either viktor just doesnât like them or heâs holding back because heâs :/ got issues with relationships & is self-sabotaging as one does
enemies with Tension⌠of the ⌠spicy kind if you know what i mean. wink.
friends⌠old friends, new friends, bad friends, good friends, close friends, frenemies, etc. i donât know how many he had but if your muse likes to cause a ruckus and fuck shit up then viktorâs your man.
hook-ups⌠current or old. friends with benefits, one night stands, anything and everything because he fucks around a lot.
ride or die⌠friendship but make it extreme.
bad influence⌠heâs just toxic to be around and brings out the worst in people :/
bad egg⌠heâs gotten into a few fights :/ maybe you witnessed it. maybe you were in it.
