[Virginia Woolf Bot @botvirginia]

I am at the mercy of people, of moods, feel lonely, like, something pitiable which can’t make its wants known.

[excerpts @godlessbot]

You are so vulnerably haunting; Your eeriness is terrifyingly irresistible.

[excerpts @godlessbot]

There is no question I am someone starving. There is no question I am making this journey to find out what that appetite is.

[❛ 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞. @VENATRllX]

don't eat too many, i need to leave some for the rats outside.

[༆ 𝕴𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐄 𝔄𝐃𝐋𝐄𝐑 @salaciousintent]

Well, if you’re offering then, yes.

[❛ 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞. @VENATRllX]

a bad decision on your part, really.

crisps ?

[༆ 𝕴𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐄 𝔄𝐃𝐋𝐄𝐑 @salaciousintent]

You are repulsive. It makes me question my attraction towards you.

[❛ 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞. @VENATRllX]

she's eating prawn cocktail crisps in the morgue. nothing like the scent of rotting entrails to season her snacks.

[❛ 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞. @VENATRllX]

@valorouswxapon she stifles a laugh, looking pointedly around from mother to daughter. ❝ a special friend, bagel ? do tell me more. i'd love to meet them. i wonder... is it someone i've already met ? ❞

[❛ 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞. @VENATRllX]

@valorouswxapon she picks up a few ginger nuts, & stuffs them into her mouth all at once.

❝ oh, yes ? i'm sure you're doing a good job of it. i don't know how you handle it, having a child & all. ❞

her dark eyes brighten at izzy's interjection, & she rubs her hands together in glee. ~

[❛ 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞. @VENATRllX]

@valorouswxapon ❝ auntie shoo is a clever one, i'll say. also, i really could do with some ginger nuts. ❞

she chuckles at herself, settling down on the sofa expectantly. she loves being in terry's house.

❝ what's new since we last met ? ❞

[❛ 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞. @VENATRllX]

❝ well, of course. do open your present, i'm sure you'll enjoy it. ❞

she leans over & whispers conspiratorially to terry.

❝ it's a choice collection of preserved insects. do make sure she doesn't break it. ❞

[𝚃𝙴𝚁𝚁𝚈 @valorouswxapon]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀mother is easily forgotten, and she's used to it at this point.

Izzy comes running from the living room, a smile on her face ( and she jumps in for a hug ), 〝Auntie! You're here!〟

[❛ 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞. @VENATRllX]

❝ bagel ? ❞

she peeks inside the house eagerly, holding out the present she brought.

❝ there you are, you little scamp. i brought you something most educational. ❞

[𝚃𝙴𝚁𝚁𝚈 @valorouswxapon]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀reminds her of Groot, and that movie she has yet to take Izzy to watch. Terry breaks the embrace for the anser.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀〝Nope —— a couple of bruises, but they are healing〟, and the ( not so ) little bagel's elated tone breaks the moment.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀〝Auntie Shoo?〟

[❛ 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞. @VENATRllX]

❝ evening, terry ! ❞ she embraces her friend in return, much like a tree extending its branches.

❝ i see you've had a good rest. no incidents lately, i take it ? ❞

[𝚃𝙴𝚁𝚁𝚈 @valorouswxapon]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀eyes widen in shock, since Sherlock had disappeared in the past months. she's always one to come and go, and Terry is used to it ( as is Izzy ).

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀〝You are here!〟, she exclaims, before offering an embrace that she's positive will turn awkward.

[❛ 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞. @VENATRllX]

she bends over so she can fit the doorframe to look at her friend properly. surely izzy must be home at this hour too, it's early evening which must be after school.

[𝚃𝙴𝚁𝚁𝚈 @valorouswxapon]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Terry briefly instructs Izzy to carry on with her homework ( which is covering the dotted lines ) before she gets up and moves toward the door.

needless to say, she wasn't expecting anyone.

[❛ 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞. @VENATRllX]

knocks on @valorouswxapon's door loudly, with a hastily-wrapped gift in hand.

[ᅟᅟgibson girl, @sainticide]

there are times where i am convinced i am unfit for any human relationship.

@MAGNVMOPUS ✧ 𝐨𝐨𝐜. ┆it’s not an exaggeration to say all my muses r based on mythical monsters/cryptids

sherlock is actually based on the wendigo : )

[❛ 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞. @VENATRllX]

✧ 𝐨𝐨𝐜. ┆friendly reminder that my sherlock is 6’5” & has the physical structure of a twiggy cryptid 🤧

[Sylvia Plath. @unabridgedplath]

beautiful and grotesque

[❛ 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞. @VENATRllX]

—— ideas can occur to her out of nowhere, & they often do.

[❛ 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞. @VENATRllX]

she’s running in the direction of a crime scene, her arms full of grocery bags.

a few tomatoes drop out & roll behind her, as does a can of sardines.

[❛ 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞. @VENATRllX]

✧ 𝐨𝐨𝐜. ┆I LOVE WRITING WITH @bellaxsecuritas AND THATS THAT ON THAT PLSSSS 😭😭😭🙏🙏🤲🤲
