Despite the Beast being unable to see her face, Tess attempted to suppress the inevitable twist of her lips and scrunch of her nose when she plucked his ripped, dingy pants off of the chair with two fingers. Keeping his clothes at arm's length, she glanced at her guest and paused. Did he need help getting dressed? She didn't mind giving the Beast a hand, but she didn't want to invade his space any more than she already had.

His stiff posture and flexing spines made is clear that he had had more than enough of her meddling for one night. Cautiously, Tess made to move closer and froze when the Beast swung his head around and pinned her in place with his single, unseeing gold eye.

The moment of silence that followed lasted for a few seconds, but felt much longer.

"Uh, here ya go," she said as she tossed his pants in his direction.

The Beast flinched when they landed on his shoulders with a soft thwap before hardening his face back into an emotionless mask. He kept his attention on her as he slowly tugged his clothes off his shoulders. The grip he held them in looked so tight that Tess was worred they would tear.

The Beast rose into an awkward half stand, half crouching position and leaned on the foot of her bed to balance himself.

Tess's eyes widened slightly when he gently stepped into each leg with no problem. She continued to stare as he fiddled with the worn rope he used as a belt.

"I guess you had to've done this before, huh?" Tess thought aloud.

The Beast's ears pricked forward as he looked at her again, acknowledging her addressing him but not understanding a word she said. Not that he seemed understand words in general. Tess bit the inside of her cheek in thought.

Maybe....

Tess made her way to her immaculate closet and swung the door open. She tapped her fingers on the doorjam as she scanned the line of various shirts, skirts, and dresses. Finally she found them, a handful of button-up dress shirts her father left in her house. He kept them there for back up after he spilled syrup on his best church shirt on Easter sunday last year.

She pulled a pastel pink shirt- the largest in the bunch- off its hanger and unbuttoned it as she whirled around to present it to her friend.

"I have an idea," she said, mostly to herself. "Try this on."

She stood directly infront of the Beast, who was now considerably more relaxed. Tess pressed the shirt into his hands, took a step back, and waited.

The Beast cocked his head to one side and ran his hands over the strange new item in his grasp. Then he paused, back straightening and brows raising.

With practiced ease, the Beast flung the shirt over his shoulder and onto his back, then pushed his arms into the sleeves. Starting from the bottom he buttoned the shirt up as if it were second nature to him. As if he had done it a thousand times before.

Tess felt something in her chest tighten when he rolled his sleeves up to his elbows.

UrbanSpook Sketch

(They're getting the death penalty.)

Art of the villains from the analog horror series by UrbanSpook, the most problematic, visceral, grotesque, over-the-top shock fest, likely dreamed up by the least sane individual on the planet.

Trigger warning: UrbanSpook features some pretty serious and gross subject matter. The series is about a depraved serial killer, after all.

Holy shit this is a really good series.

I’d highly recommend watching if you like analog horror mixed with an actual complete story.

Children Under The House-

brackenfur

i really do wish that like. ok when i think about brambleclaw and ashfur, in firestars quest they seem like good friends and get along well, and then we all know what happens in the book series(s) beyond that, but i really would want to give their dynamic more like. impact, and i’ve talked abt it here and there before, but:

i imagine that when bramblepaw first became an apprentice, ashpaw really liked him and treated him like a younger brother, almost. he saw how bramblepaw was kinda shy and he took him under his wing - he would teach him how to leap after leaves, he’d taught him crouches, talk to him about training, that sort of thing. and bramblepaw really looked up to ashpaw bc most of the clan treats him and tawnypaw rly differently, except for ashpaw and fernpaw and a few others. but bramblepaw rly likes that he has a close friend in the clan

and then brindleface is killed. and bramblepaw sees how sad fernpaw and ashpaw are at her vigil, so he comes up to say how sorry he is - he just lost his older brother, swiftpaw, too. and if ashpaw needed to talk, he’d always be there - but when ashpaw looks up at him, he looks….angry. he doesn’t say anything, so bramblepaw leaves because he thinks ashpaw is grieving and needs space, but form then on out, ashpaw won’t even speak to him. and after tawnypaw leaves to shadowclan, bramblepaw feels more alone than ever - he has other friends, but ashpaw was his first real friend, and now ashpaw wont even look at him. and bramblepaw tells firestar about it, saying that maybe it’s because he’s grieving for brindleface, but……..deep down bramblepaw knows why ashpaw is angry at him, he just doesn’t want it to be true.

and after tigerstar is killed, bramblepaw doesn’t really know how to feel since he hates his father, but to see him die like that…….. but he sees the weird, almost smug way ashpaw keeps looking at him and he almost wants to ask him why, what his problem even is, but he thinks about brindleface and decides he doesn’t want to know the answer.

and then after the battle with bloodclan when they kill bone together , he thinks maybe it’ll change - maybe ashpaw will like him again - but outside of some curt words and greetings, they aren’t friends anymore. bramblepaw wants to respect his decision, even if it hurts really bad that he lost his first friend bc of something tigerstar did, but he just wants to focus on becoming a warrior now.

and for a year that’s what he does - sometimes a cat like sorreltail or thornclaw will be like “hey, didn’t you guys used to be friends?” to which brambleclaw doesn’t know what to say - but he’s determined to prove ashfur and everyone else wrong.

and then he meets hawkfrost and starts training in the dark forest and for the first time in years, ashfur really starts to pay attention again. because he stopped trusting brambleclaw after brindleface died - ashfur knows that’s cruel, to blame him for something tigerstar did, but his heart can’t take anymore betrayals and deaths, and he sees it as a measure to protect himself and thunderclan - but when he sees hawkfrost he thinks, oh, i was right. and not only was i right - but squirrelflight is becoming closer to brambleclaw and she doesn’t even know about my mother, how she died. how brambleclaws father killed her to feed to a pack of dogs.

so he starts talking to squirrelflight and hanging out with her, and they get close, but when she goes back to hanging out with brambleclaw, he can’t cope. brambleclaws father took away ashfurs mother, everyone in thunderclan adores brambleclaw again, AND he was made deputy, AND squirrelflight thinks ashfur is this overbearing creep and he’s like, oh hell no.

and THAT to me feels more interesting than in canon but!!!!!!! that’s just me

A few months ago my mom got our dog a really nice like $60 dog bed that Ellie just absolutely refuses to sleep in because she’d rather be in bed with my mom or on the couch. So my mom gave Josh and I the bed to see if Vincent would like it and it’s an immediate hit, he jumped in as soon as I put it down and won’t move
