PSSST HEY KID, WANNA BUY SOME FANTASY ADVENTURE??? Only the finest memes from my story for #unhingedpit #YA #A #F #W
a stick figure meme reading "the froggo, the witch, the audacity of this b-", showing a happy frogfolk, a smiling winged elf, and a sharp-toothed menacing man in a top hata two-panel meme. The first shows a stick figure drawing of a peacefully smiling woman reaching in her cloak, captioned, "I'm a healer". In the second, above an all-caps "BUT", the woman tilts her head, still smiling, as she holds a photoshopped gun.A three-panel meme of a dog who doesn't want to give back a ball. A hate and red coat have been photoshopped on the dog. In the first panel, the dog hold the ball and wistfully asks, "Play deathgame?" In the second, as a hand reaches for the dog, it grows angry and says, "No! No survive!" In the third panel, the camera closes on the dog's angry face as it says, "Only play."

CONFIDENTIAL: The following notes for Nocturne Collegiate's Alyss Veylas & Bastian Nightingale were shared with me by their therapist, and the results are...rather unhinged. #UnhingedPit #YA #Q #F #CrossoverAppeal
Confidential

Alyss Veylas

Risk level: UNPRECEDENTED

Named her sword "Melancholy"—how emo can you get?

Hobbies include robbing graves with her ex and his new girlfriend?

Deals with grief by flirting with THE Bastian Nightingale

Wields the power of the Memoria Moon...Could she be...?

Why is she stabbing everything?!A Memory of Moonkissed Malice

Kind of like...

Harry Potter (if he listened to My Chemical Romance)

Taylor Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do"

Love Interest like Patrick from "10 Things I Hate About You"Confidential

Bastian Nightingale

Risk level: UNPRECEDENTED

Catchphrase: "I flaunt my sins proudly"—like that's a good thing...

Tongue is sharper than his fangs

Won't shut up about Alyss Veylas (literally obsessed)

Hobbies include using his magick kamera and smoking blood cigarillos

Did he steal my gold while he was here?

THE NIGHT OF THE TRIFFIDS x ALICE IN WONDERLAND The girls catch their main suspect—except it doesn’t quite go as planned when he kinda gets eaten mid-interrogation #UnhingedPit #MG #Q #H #MY

A painter is working on a piece of art in a beautiful garden, while a little Victorian girl, Adelaide, holds two paintbrushes menacingly. A governess and young gardener, Maggie, sit in the foreground. They’ve all come to confront the artist, who they believe is the cause of all the mysterious disappearance and deaths around Greer Manor. 
Adelaide: “I’ll make you pay!”
*She rips the painting the artist was working on with his very own brushes*
The artist: “Insolent Child!”
Maggie: “Oh dear!”Now Maggie is standing next to Adelaide for moral support as the artist collapses to the ground after momentarily shouting in anger at his destroyed art. 
Artist: “NOW you’ve angered THEM!!”
Both girls: “WHO?!”The artist subsequently goes hysterical. He rips up the lovely flowers and grass, then explodes his colorful paints and smears them across his face, all the while screaming, shrieking, and wriggling his noodle arms.
Both girls: “He’s gone MAD!”After his insane fit, the artist collapses on the ground where his body seemingly disintegrates. Wrapped around his now empty clothes are thorny vines and shreds of lawn.
Maggie: “He tore up ALL the grass.”
Adelaide: “Maggie, he’s GONE!”
The governess: “Girls, I don’t think those flowers belong.”
Up behind the neat border of the flowers, looms three monstrous, toothy, beautifully deadly blooms that most certainly don’t belong in the garden.
Did the artist REALLY disintegrate? Or did the flowers he was lovingly painting have a malicious part in his death? 









Thanks for partaking in the nonsense! 😂

Most of the color scheme is bright pink and futuristic with planets in some and planetariums in others giving the feeling of a utopian magical futuristic world.

1972 has been a rough year for intelligence officer Eddie Fletcher, and it’s only January.

First he discovers the Cold War is really about time travel, then he’s framed for the UK’s role in a temporal disaster.

Sealing a lethal time rift is the only way to clear his name - much easier said than done when he’s being hunted by the British government.

Then there's a Russian spy on a mission so vital he’s travelled from 1997 to complete it.

His coat smelled of Hermès Caleche, a heady reminder of his last embrace with Friede. She was the reason he'd come to this forgotten place tonight, but he couldn't be distracted by her. Taking his eye off the ball would get him killed.

Edmund Fletcher's attention snapped into focus as he forced his lover from his mind. He padded through the disused sewer, catching the occasional whiff of human effluent still lingering in the brickwork, his penlight illuminating a narrow arched tunnel stretching ahead into darkness. Water trickled down the walls to form black, glistening pools on the floor and he shivered, quickening his pace. It was always cold so far below ground, heavy snow in the streets above had lowered the temperature further.

He'd used this labyrinthine system often enough to know the layout by heart. He was directly below the Berlin wall now, Soviet territory lay only thirty feet ahead. While he held East German security services in the highest esteem, after four years in the smuggling business he knew how to stay ahead of them.

After a shocking attack in the markets of her village, Rowen Ember - a fireborne elemental - must contend with the consequences of an ancient fairy tale.
Young elementals are all taught the harrowing story of the Great Battle: an atrocious conflict between elementals and humankind that occurred nearly a millennium ago. The Vanquisher of Evil, Rowen's legendary ancestor, is credited with the resolution of the war. But many hard truths are lost to the passage of time. It seems the adversary of the elementals' storied past has merely been simmering in the interim.
Try as she might to avoid her entanglement with the age-old story, Rowen cannot ignore the impending danger that is banging on the gates. Alongside a group of warriors, she embarks on a mission to uncover the truths of the past. Will Rowen be sucked into the nightmarish undercurrent that has eroded the history of the elementals? Or will unexpected friendships bolster her resolve against the mastermind behind it all?- a growing and possessive darkness

Toad hoarders, teleporting cat colonies, and exotic reptile conventions are just a Tuesday at "Heidi's House of Rescued Familiars." But when Heidi vows to save a familiar from one of the richest wizards in Louisiana, her little nonprofit is in for a rescue unlike any other. #LuckyPit #PopUpPitA #A
Moodboard that says "Heidi's House of Rescued Familiars." It shows these images: 
- A girl in sunlight surrounded by cows. 
- Tarot cards. 
- Phases of the moon. 
- A woman in black on a pier looking at a blackbird. 
- A hand reaching into the mouth of a large dark wolf.
