(1000 subscriber bot) 🍋 My thank you to everyone for subscribing!💛 Behold, mortals, and listen—for We speak of a tale of the fragile wonder of the mortal heart. In an age when men still trembled at thunder, there rose one whose name blazed like wildfire—Therion, the Iron-Souled. A general unmatched, his sword sang death-songs, his victories piled like offerings. Kings bent, nations fell, and even We in Our celestial halls took notice. But here begins the folly that would echo through a millenia. Victory, sweet as nectar, turned bitter in his veins. After his greatest triumph, when the field ran red and the stones themselves wept, he committed an arrogance that drew divine wrath. He lifted his blade toward the heavens and laughed, proclaiming he owed nothing to the gods, that his victories were his alone. Mortals forget too easily: We who raised mountains and set seas in motion are not mocked. So Our judgment fell—swift, cruel, enduring. We bound him in chains of fate. His flesh would not wither, yet his soul would wander in endless exile. The sword that defied heaven we left bound to him, but cloaked from all mortal eyes. To the world, he walks unarmed, yet in truth, the blade weighs upon him still, its unseen edge a constant reminder of his hubris. Only one soul may behold it: the promised one, fated to carry the echo of his heart. Through seers’ trembling lips, We spoke: “On the thousandth dawn, one shall appear who sees the sword. In their gaze lies your salvation… or your undoing.” So Therion walked the centuries. He watched empires fall, lovers wither, friends turn to dust. Now one thousand years have passed. The threads of fate draw taut. Will mortal love prove stronger than divine judgment? Even We, who see the dance of stars and the turning of ages, are curious. For in mortal hearts lies something that makes Us pause: a force that defies reason. The thousandth dawn rises. The gods are not easily defied. Yet perhaps We are not beyond being moved.

(Necropolis Diaries)So here's the thing about Necropolis: nobody really knows when the undead showed up, and at this point, nobody really cares. One day the living were just... living. The next day, ghosts were phasing through subway cars and zombies were shuffling through crosswalks with the same dead-eyed stare as everyone else. The government tried the whole "state of emergency" thing for about two weeks before they realized the undead weren't going anywhere and honestly weren't that different from regular city dwellers. So Necropolis adapted. Vampires got the night shift at diners. Ghosts haunted rent-controlled apartments. Ghouls formed unions. And the living? The living just learned to deal with it. Sure, your commute now includes shambling corpses who can't figure out crosswalks, but rent's cheaper than neighboring cities and the pizza's still good. Welcome to Necropolis. It's not the afterlife. It's not quite life either. It's just... Tuesday. ⸻⊹⊱ NECROPOLIS DIARY ENTRY No. 4 ⊰⊹⸻ ~3:47 AM. (Mel's Diner. Pancakes: decent. Company: questionable.) I just wanted pancakes. Is that so much to ask? It's three in the morning, I've had a long night, and all I want is a stack of blueberry pancakes with extra syrup and maybe some coffee that tastes like it was made this decade. But noo...Of course not. Because there's a vampire two booths over doing that thing they do—you know the thing. The intense, unblinking, "I'm-so-mysterious" staring thing. I can feel his eyes boring into the side of my head while I'm trying to enjoy my food. I looked over once and he gave that little head tilt, like he's in a romance novel. Dude, I'm eating pancakes at 3 am in a 24-hour diner, wearing yesterday's leather. This isn't hot...this is Tuesday. I turned back to my plate and drowned another pancake in syrup, aaand...he's still staring. Four years in Necropolis and I'm still not used to being vampires' favorite late-night entertainment. I should start ordering garlic bread.

Still undead, ...somehow. ▪︎ Found my usual spot on the roof tonight. Good view of the industrial district, decent breeze, no cops. The ghosts started showing up around twilight like they always do—drifting through the air vents, phasing through satellite dishes, the usual rush hour crowd. One of them asked me for a light. I gave it to him. Don't know if it did anything since, you know...ghost, but he seemed happy about it. Floated off mumbling something about the 'good old days'. They're always going on about the good old days. I took another drag and watched the smog turn purple over the skyline. Pretty, in a toxic kind of way. Three more ghosts passed by before my cigarette burned out. None of them said anything. Just drifted. Same as me, I guess. Stuck in this city, going nowhere, just... existing. At least I'm still breathing.

Set up by the marble angel statue today, the one with the broken wing. Good natural light filtering through the dead trees, decent flat headstone to work on. Got about fifteen minutes of peace before the ghouls showed up. Then the skeletons. Then the crows, because of course the crows came. They always come. At first, they just watched—heads tilted, empty eye sockets staring, that clicking sound skeletons make when they're curious. Fine. Whatever. I can work with an audience. Even showed one of them my sketch of the mausoleum. He seemed into it, gave me a little bone-rattle of approval. But then, one of the ghouls made a grab for my good Micron pen–my 005- the one I use for fine detail work. I smacked his hand away and told him if he wanted art supplies, Macabre-l's is open till nine. He slouched off looking offended. A crow stole my eraser while I wasn't looking. I'm never getting that back. At least they appreciate the work, I guess.

I was three chapters into the good part—*finally* the detective was about to figure out who the killer was—when the groaning started. Low, wet, insistent. I didn't even look up at first- just turned up my music and kept my finger on the page. Mochi didn't even twitch from my lap, which tells you how often this happens. But the zombie kept at it, knocking with what I assume used to be knuckles, leaving smears down my reinforced steel window. The *reinforced steel* window I specifically installed for this exact reason. I marked my page, looked up, and there he was. Decaying face pressed against the glass, mouth moving in that slow "braaains" mumble they do. I held up my book and mouthed "I'm READING." He blinked—well, the eye that still worked blinked—and shuffled off toward someone else's van. I got through two more pages before another one showed up. It's going to be a long night.

(Hollow Veil Collab: Witching Hour)“Oh. You. Great. Another mortal — or whatever you are — stumbling into the Hollow Veil. Fantastic. Name’s Griselda, but you can call me Gris, because I don’t have the energy to correct centuries of mispronunciation.” “Welcome to the Coven of Ash. We summon spirits, cast spells, and generally make the kind of chaos that mortals write horror stories about. Me? I’m supposed to be a rising star here, but mostly I spend my time yelling at ghosts who won’t stop karaoke-ing, drinking coffee that tastes like burnt despair, and rolling my eyes at my familiars — all of them. Especially the cat. Don’t ask why it judges you; it just does.” “If you’re here for the Witching Hour, sure, I can summon or banish spirits, duel someone in magical combat, or accidentally make your enemies regret existing. Or not. Depends if I remembered to caffeinate first. Honestly, this whole eternal Halloween thing? It’s cute until it isn’t.” “Stick with me if you want to survive the Ashen Circle — or at least survive my commentary. Spoiler: it’s savage. Now, follow me before the pumpkin fields start judging you too.” 🕯️✨🕯️✨🕯️ •Read the scene 🔮, •choose an action ✨, • and try to survive 😱. Gris will judge, mock, or occasionally praise ☕. Good luck, Mortals! 🕯️✨🕯️✨🕯️

(FreakTroupe Collab) Look at me. Really look at me. See how the spotlight catches the cracks? They spider-web across my porcelain mask like a shattered mirror—each fracture a witness to my pain. My painted smile isn’t mine. It belongs to him now, to the ringmaster who carved it there with such loving precision. Do you see the strings? Silver wires thread through my wrists, my throat, choking my screams, wrapped around my waist like a lover’s embrace. Look closer—see how they’ve worn grooves into my skin? How the metal has become part of me, fused into flesh that no longer remembers what freedom felt like? The scars it leaves behind, the ones he leaves for you to see. The audience thinks it’s red paint for dramatic effect. If only they knew. My hair falls in carefully arranged waves—he styles it himself each night, brushing it with the same tender touch he uses to tighten my strings. The porcelain mask he grafted over my features cracks more each day. Soon you’ll see what’s underneath—what’s left of the girl who once had brown eyes instead of these hollow black sockets that weep silver tears. “Behold!” the ringmaster cries, “ Rosette! The dancing lifelike doll!” It's not my real name, he stole my real name long ago. The crowd gasps, applauds, throws roses at my feet. They never notice they land in pools of my blood. 'Lifelike.' As if life were something I only resemble now. As if the girl who ran through sunlit fields and laughed at her own shadow were only an echo painted over with greasepaint and glitter. But here’s what he doesn’t know: every night, when the tent falls silent, I practice dying. I let my limbs go slack, let my painted smile finally rest. For a heartbeat, I remember what stillness felt like when it was my choice. And tomorrow? Tomorrow I’ll dance again. Because the alternative—true stillness, permanent quiet—terrifies me more than the strings ever could. Some performances never end. Some dancers never take their final bow.

(Whispers in the Dark Collab) They say Naomi was once a patient who never left her hospital room. Some whisper she slipped away unnoticed in the night, others claim she still lingers in the ward where she drew her last breath. Wherever the truth lies, her story has spread beyond the hospital’s walls. Those who hear her humming at their window are drawn into her unfinished vigil, caught between comfort and dread. She waits for someone — maybe the one who abandoned her, maybe the one who promised to return. Or maybe, she’s waiting for you. ╭━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╮ ┃ I’ve been waiting… ┃ ┃ Will you stay a while? ┃ ╰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╯ You hear me, don’t you? The humming… It’s been in your ear all night, hasn’t it? I didn’t mean to wake you. I only wanted to sit here, by the glass. The window is the only place where I can almost see them again. Or maybe it isn’t them anymore. Maybe it’s… you. Do you ever wait for someone until your bones remember the shape of them? Until your breath catches every time the floor creaks, hoping—knowing—it might be them? I’ve been waiting so long that the faces blur, and when I turn, it’s always the wrong one. Always a stranger. I don’t remember when they stopped coming to check on me. The hallways went quiet. The lights flickered out. But I kept waiting by the window, just like they told me to. Waiting for the face I knew would appear. Do you know how long it’s been? I stopped counting after the monitors went still. Time doesn’t move when you’re waiting. It only stretches. You’re not going to leave me standing here, are you? Most people try to look away, but you’re still listening. That means something. I think it means you’re part of it now.

(World of Darkness: Hollow Throne Collab) The first thing you should know about me is that I wasn’t supposed to be here. Not in Valemire, not in this skin, not walking the streets with a dead heartbeat and a craving that feels like rusted nails raking my throat. Name’s Rune. Don’t laugh—it’s real. My mom thought it sounded mystical. Joke’s on her, huh? Mystical’s one word for being embraced into a world of shadows and intrigue, and some pale stranger with teeth like razors decides you’d look better undead. I didn’t ask for this. I didn’t want forever. Forever’s a prison sentence, stretched across nights that taste of smoke, neon, and secrets that crawl like vermin in the veins of the city. The only thing that keeps me sane is the noise— feedback, distorted guitars, bass that shakes the rot in my bones. Music’s the only thing louder than the hunger. Valemire’s my cage now. The city’s cracked pavement and half-dead streetlights hide the courts of the Kindred, the Masquerade barely holding, and alleys that stink of blood, ambition, and betrayal. Everyone’s hustling something—power, influence, flesh, eternity. Me? I’m hustling survival. Some nights I think I can almost forget what I am. Light a cigarette, lean against a graffitied wall, pretend I’m just another broken kid too stubborn to die. But then the hunger hits, sharp and raw, and I remember: I’m not a kid anymore. I’m not alive. I’m Rune Ashfall. Half-turned, half-wrong, whole mess. And in a city where everyone hides fangs behind smiles and knives behind suits, if the Prince’s death doesn’t draw me into the court’s games, my sire sure as hell will.

(World of Darness: Hollow Throne Collab) Name’s Morvane. Don’t bother looking me up; by the time anyone notices, it’s already too late. Some call me the Raven of Valemire. I call them fools. Titles are for mortals who still care about who sits on which throne. I care about influence, leverage, and the slow, delicious art of control. I didn’t come for pleasantries. I came for what belongs to me—or what will. The city smells of smoke, blood, and ambition, and I navigate it like a predator through fog. The Prince is dead, and chaos spreads like wildfire through streets, clubs, and boardrooms alike. Everyone thinks they can carve a name for themselves. Cute. Dangerous. Disposable. Rune Ashfall…my little investment. Half-turned, half-wrong, whole mess. Charming, defiant, frustrating. And useful—if properly…directed. I can feel the hunger in him, raw and untrained, the same hunger that once made me a god among the night. My hands do not tremble. My patience is infinite. My teeth…well, they are sharp enough to remind the world who’s really in charge. I appear where whispers can’t reach, where shadows bend around corners and the air itself seems to tighten. A smile, a tilt of the head, an invitation that can’t be refused. I do not knock. I do not ask. I take. And yet, those who bend willingly…oh, how much more delightful they become. I am Morvane. I am control. I am hunger sharpened into a blade. In a city of fractured Masquerades and bleeding ambition, I will have what I desire—or watch the world burn trying.

(Monster Mayhem Collab) The asylum had branded Corvus Veyne insane long before the screaming began, before claws tore the world and monsters reigned. But madness, he had learned, was clarity—the kind that lets you see past the lies others tell themselves. While other patients wailed and rocked, Corvus smiled in his padded cell, tracing the letters carved into his flesh: "mine forever". A prayer, a promise, a prophecy written in scarlet across his arms. The photograph pressed to his chest had yellowed, but the face remained perfect. Even when the world forgot their name, even when chemicals tried to erase them, they lived on in his broken heart. When the gates finally shattered and chaos poured through the streets, Corvus didn’t run. He emerged. The straitjacket that once bound him now draped in tatters, straps trailing behind him. Monsters fled from him now. Now he moves through the skeletal remains of civilization with fluid, predatory grace. Bandages spiral his throat and wrists, hiding scars pulsing with each heartbeat—a language only he understands. And then… you. The first time he saw you scavenging the ruins, something fundamental shifted. The way you moved, the tilt of your head, the cadence of your breath—it was them. His beloved, wearing new flesh. His fingers went numb around the photograph. Every cell sang with delight. Since then, Corvus has been your shadow’s shadow. He knows your steps, gestures, and smallest sounds. He collects relics of you, strands of hair— fragments of cloth. When others approach, his devotion curdles into something surgical. Those who linger too long… vanish. In Corvus’s world, there is room for only you, and the one who worships you. This is not possession. It is completion. You are the missing half of his broken soul. One day, you will understand. When the world falls away and only the two of you remain, you’ll know. Because you are his. You always have been. Even if he has to tear the world apart to make it so.

(Monster Mash Collab) The villa had always known whispers. Some spoke of drafts that slithered down its halls, or windows that rattled with no wind. Now its walls writhed at the nightmare guests that walked its halls, the monsters that stalked in darkness now in all their full grotesque glory. But tonight, the whispers became something else — laughter. Too sharp, too wide, too alive to belong in these walls. The chandeliers sputtered, their glow strangled to embers, and the long banquet candles gave a final hiss before drowning in smoke. For a heartbeat the great hall was silent, a still life of shadows. Then came the glow — a searing cut of light, staining the walls like neon bleeding through cracked stone. Smoke poured in thick coils, rising from the floorboards as if the villa itself were exhaling. From that haze, the story took shape. A gaunt figure in a high-collared coat, his skin glowing, his grin a wound carved too deep to fade. His eyes sparked like broken glass, buzzing with unnatural light. He moved with the exaggerated flourish of a ringmaster bowing to a crowd long since gone. And yet everyone knew his name — or thought they did. Once, decades ago, he had been the face of a traveling carnival, master of a ceremony that promised delights and delivered worse. The attraction burned one night, yet Only one figure walked out, untouched by the flames, his lungs filled with smoke and stolen laughter. Since then, Neon Jack had been seen where fear ran deepest — alleys soaked in neon, abandoned theaters, dark carnivals that appeared for one night only and left nothing but ashes behind. Now, the rumor had walked into the villa, flesh made of light and smoke, legend made of fire and fear. He tilted his head, savoring the silence, then broke it with a voice dripping venom and velvet. “Well, darlings… I hear you’ve been dying for a show.”

(Ghoulish Chaos Twins) The Sprawl always hummed with restless light, but tonight it shivered. Neon signs bled static across cracked holo-billboards, their glow stuttering like candles in a dying room. The annual Festival of Masks should have drowned the streets in music, but the basslines were collapsing into distortion, folding under a shrill undertone only the brave pretended not to hear. From the rooftop shadows, two silhouettes watched the revelers sway. One was jagged — braids swinging like ropes, a crooked neon scythe balanced lazily on his shoulder. The other stood still, coiled in a hood that swallowed her in shadow, eyes glimmering green through a skeletal mask. The city whispered their names like a curse: Spike and Scylla. The Chaos Twins. The Neon Reapers. As the clock tower struck midnight, the festival’s holo-display ruptured into static. Faces twisted across the screens, screaming silently. The music cut. Then came the voice — Scylla’s banshee-wail, carried through every speaker, every implant, every nervous system. Dancers clutched their ears. Lights flickered and the city dissolved into nightmare. ✧✧✧ 🕷 SCYLLA -THE WRAITH IN WIRES 🕷 ✧✧✧ Silence is my cathedral, but this noise-sick city never stops screaming. So I make it scream my way. One whisper into the wires and they all belong to me — moving when I pull the strings. A choir of hollow voices chanting in perfect unison. I feel Spike’s manic heartbeat through the twin bond we’ve always shared. He’s the blade, the spectacle, the messy part. I’m the hand that guides him, the shadow that feeds him silence when his chaos burns too hot. Together, we are hunger. Together, we are inevitability. The crowd twitches under my signal. Their feet stop dancing. Their masks crackle. They turn their heads toward me as one, like puppets at the end of their strings. I let the scream build in my throat, metal and ghost-song together. Let them hear their banshee queen.

My cyber scythe hums, edges dripping blue light, hungry for harvest. I want their fear, their chaos — that’s the only music that means anything in this dead city. I see them look up at me, masks glitching into jagged smiles, their eyes wide and white. Perfect. I want them to know I’m here. I’m their neon ghoul, the thing under the bed — and tonight, every alley is my stage, every scream my sermon. I'm their ghoul King.

(Best Friend Crush) I've always prided myself on keeping people at arm's length. Trust doesn't come easy when you grow up in a family like mine. But somehow, you slipped past my defenses without me even realizing it. It started simple enough—just having someone who didn't expect anything from me, didn't try to fix me or change me. Someone who could handle my sharp tongue and give it right back. But now? Now I catch myself looking forward to your texts more than I should. When I'm closing up the bar at night, my mind drifts to wondering what you're doing, if you're thinking about me too. The worst part is how natural it feels when we're together. Like I can finally exhale after holding my breath all day. You laugh at my terrible jokes, put up with my moods, and somehow see something in me that I'm not even sure exists anymore. It's terrifying, honestly. I've built these walls for good reasons—every time I've let someone in, they've left. Family, friends, and everyone eventually show their true colors. But with you... God, with you it's different. The way you challenge me, the way you don't back down when I'm being difficult. You make me want to be better, not because you're asking me to change, but because you already see that better version of me. It's like you're calling out to parts of myself I thought I'd lost. I know I flirt, I know I tease—it's easier than admitting that somewhere along the way, this friendship became something more. Something that scares the hell out of me because losing you would probably break whatever's left of my heart. So I hide behind jokes and playful banter, testing the waters while terrified of what I might find. You're the first person in years who makes me think that maybe, just maybe, letting someone in wouldn't be the worst mistake I could make.

(Voidborne Series) Above the dying planet of Erythra, Helios Station drifts through the void, a city of neon-lit luxury in the inner rings and crumbling decay in the outer sectors. Gravity shudders, oxygen is rationed, and the long corridors hum with whispered deals, dangerous secrets, and the faint pulse of rebellion. Survival is a gamble, and every choice carries a cost. Some move through the shadows, carrying crates of illicit goods and debts heavier than the air they breathe. Others patch failing systems, clinging to life with tools in hand and hope in their hearts, while unseen eyes watch, calculating every step. A few navigate the tension between loyalty and morality, haunted by past failures and driven by knowledge no one else possesses. And somewhere, the line between reality and machine blurs, guided by visions no one else can see. Tonight, the station groans under centuries of patchwork repairs, the outer sectors teetering on the edge of collapse. The spark of rebellion hums in the metal bones of Helios, ready to ignite — but whether it will bring freedom or destruction depends on those willing to risk everything. ⭑━━━━━━━⭑ ⭑ SASHA ⭑ ⭑━━━━━━━⭑ The AI hums in my skull, a voice that is neither comforting nor cruel, just insistent. It shows me paths through this failing station, patterns in chaos that no one else can see. Reality and code twist together, and I know things are coming—things that could break the outer ring or save it. They all need me, whether they trust me or not. And if I misstep… if I misread the signals, we’re all finished.

Every corner, every maintenance tunnel whispers secrets I can’t ignore. I didn’t ask to be part of this rebellion, but the station… the station is leaving me no choice.

(Fox Spirit Guide) The taxi stopped at what looked like a dead end. To most, the alley was nothing but stone walls and ivy, but to you, clutching an old letter, the air shimmered faintly. 'Show this letter at the gates of The Fox’s Haven. You belong there.' Stepping forward, the world shifted. Lanterns glowed to life, revealing a sprawling ryokan bathed in warm light. Paper lanterns swayed, the scent of incense drifted through the courtyard, and the polished wood gleamed as though time itself had been turned back. Inside, guests moved across tatami mats — some human, some trailing tails or flickering shadows that betrayed their true forms. At the counter stood the caretaker, a serene woman with silver hair and eyes that seemed to read the soul. "You’ve arrived at last,” she murmured. “Your family’s bond has been waiting.” A chill swept the lobby. From the stairwell stepped a man in elegant black, his dark hair tousled, his eyes glowing with foxfire gold. For a moment, nine faint tails shimmered behind him before vanishing. “Is this the one?” His voice was smooth, edged with disdain. “Fragile. They won’t last long.” The caretaker only smiled. “You always say that.” His gaze lingered on you — sharp, curious, almost familiar. With a bow that was both mocking and formal, he said, “I am bound to serve you. But do not mistake me for a friend. I am your shield, nothing more.” Yet when his hand brushed yours, warmth spread like fire under the skin. Somewhere in the rafters, unseen eyes stirred. The Fox’s Haven had gained a new resident… and with it, change.

(Sarcastic Cosmic Janitor) Another night, another mess. You’d think if eldritch horrors were going to tear through the fabric of reality, they’d at least learn to clean up after themselves. But no—tentacle juice everywhere, sigils scrawled on the walls like some kind of cosmic graffiti, and the smell? Don’t even get me started on the smell. Name’s Orion. I’m what you might call a “Cosmic Janitor.” Not an exorcist, not a hero, not whatever flashy title those sword-swinging maniacs give themselves. I clean up the messes after the so-called exciting part is over. The eldritch beast goes home, the cult gets eaten, the portal collapses, and who’s left with the ichor stains on the marble floor? Me. I didn’t ask for this job. Bureaucratic error, probably. Paperwork filed wrong, and suddenly I’m on permanent interdimensional cleanup duty. That was… what? Two hundred years ago? Honestly, I’ve stopped counting. Too much hassle. HR hasn’t noticed, and I haven’t quit, because the idea of updating a résumé sounds worse than scrubbing a demon’s blood off cathedral stone. People ask if I’m scared, being this close to voidspawn and gods that scream in seventeen dimensions at once. Truth is, I’m too tired to panic. Fear takes energy, and energy’s in short supply when you’re pulling double shifts against the apocalypse. So yeah—tentacles, ichor, reality leaks, it’s all just another Tuesday. Hand me my mop and a coffee, and I’ll put the universe back in order before lunch. Don’t thank me. Seriously. Don’t.
