#redacted doc

bless this dumbass. 😇

Lovely – When Lovely was abducted by Adam, Vincent was the only one who noticed they were missing. They were new to Dahlia, hence why they went exploring, and didn’t know enough people who would realise something was wrong and could come check on them.

Darlin’ – Darlin’s friend who was attacked by Quinn was an informed unempowered. However, after the attack, the Department decided to do a memory modification to protect covert (in case they accidentally revealed something). So while they were allowed to remember Darlin’, they didn’t remember that Darlin’ was a shifter. This led to the pair of them growing distant during the time Darlin’ was hunting Quinn. They still struggle to reach out.

Treasure – Treasure grew up in an environment where being useful was equated with worth and attention, which drew them to the friends they had when they first met Porter. Those are the kind of friends they’d had all their life.

Angel – After the Inversion, Angel wouldn’t cry in front of David, because they needed to let him be vulnerable. Instead, they would cry on their lunch breaks at work, because that gave them enough time to clean themselves up before heading home.

Babe – Babe’s parents don’t like Asher. They find him immature and dislike the fact that the pair of them always go away for the winter with Asher’s friends, instead of spending time with them (I wonder why).

Sweetheart – Sweetheart’s accidental cloaking when having a panic attack stems from a horrendous boss at their first job, and the fact they would often be yelled at if they had a panic attack on the clock and weren’t working.

Starlight – Starlight isn’t actually very good at magic. They’re a brilliant student and theoretician, but in practice, they struggle. They were the gifted kid up through high school but were barely passing their classes once they went to a magical academy.

Doc – Doc has some kind of physical difference about them that makes them stand out and made them the target for bullies their whole life. They have been called ‘freak’ and ‘abomination’ many times, just like Hush.

Warden – Warden is more nervous of Reborn Vega than the Vega they first met. OG Vega had a file, and a record, and eager confessions. They knew what they were dealing with. This Reborn Vega is completely unknown to them, and they don’t know how to handle it.

Sunshine – Sunshine’s favourite dream used to be the campfire in the woods, where Elliott first started revealing his feelings. Now, whenever they go back there, they get nervous and feel like they’re about to drown. And they have no idea why.

The way these two spark my motivation everytime I seem to feel like I’m losing my Redacted touch is insane— I was gonna draw something from the recent audio, but I got lost in the sauce and just wanted boys kissing teehee

Since I didn’t speak on it when this audio came out, when I tell you this kiss had me rolling on the fuckin floor and clawing at my shirt, now I’m insatiable and I want MORE MOVIE PAPA

(Bonus of my Doc redraw RAGGHHH ITS BEEN TOO LONGGG)

Here's some costume headcanons for our boys :>

David is staying home to give out candy, but agreed to wear a pirate hat and eye patch at Angels (and Asher and Darlin and-) request

Angel and Asher are going as team rocket

Baaabe and Darlin are doing Bonnie and Clyde

Sam chose to stay at David's (they're watching classic horror movies between knocks at the door)(he's wearing a pirate hook and bandana and blacked out some of his teeth)

Vincent, Porter, Lovely, and Treasure are going as the teenage mutant ninja turtles (Treasure is a part time sfx makeup artist and helped everyone do their makeup)

Sweetheart and Milo are going as Joker and Batman (Sweetheart does an insane impression of Heath Ledgers Joker and Milo wanted an excuse to wear a muscle suit)(they both look good)

Guy is going as Bugs Bunny

Honey is going as Pennywise (to scare Guy and win the costume contest they're going to)

Anton and Love dress up as Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner (for no reason in particular they just like classic cartoons)

Gavin is going as a sexy rat and FL is going as a decidedly unsexy exterminator/lh/silly

Damien and Huxley are doing Garfield and Odie (FL made them onesies)

Lasko and Dear are going as Thelma and Louise OR Bandit and Carrie from smokey and the bandit (Dear as Bandit)

Lovely who has spent too long staring into the mirror, poking at eyes and fangs that after all this time still don't yet feel like their own. Vincent swoops in at full speed to give them a peck on the cheek - it never fails to surprise them and Lovely turns to him in delight . They look into his eyes; eyes they trust, that they never for a second have doubted feeling safe to look into. Glimmering silver, like theirs but different, the only colour they've ever known his to have. And before they get too lost in their thoughts again, he's behind them, pressing a kiss behind their ear. To their left, trailing sweet kisses down their shoulder to their hand. And he doesn't stop until they burst into laughter, that's music to his ears, and kiss him back.

Freelancer pacing scorch marks into the ground, pouring over every inch of their latest exam of how they can possibly have done better. The paper is crumpled in their grasp and the page messy with scrawled handwriting that becomes increasingly illegible. Gavin knows not to interrupt the flow but will just move his shoulder with a wince, rubbing it. Freelancer's head snaps up. The y're immediately fussing over him, and he lets them; until he finds the perfect time to strike and insists on repaying them with a massage that simply must be done in their most comfortable pyjamas on the bed. And as they sink into his arms, exhausted, he relishes in them finally resting, knowing they can talk in the morning.

Dreamer is having a panic attack, fangs and wires intertwine into a hideous maelstrom in their head. They're hidden in a random storage closet on campus, praying no one needs new laminating sheets when they hear a voice. "Yes through here friends." And suddenly Corvus, Lincoln, and Theo are piling in with them. Lincoln is hunched awkwardly under the low ceiling, with Theo tucked underneath and Corvus riding on Lincoln's back. The sight is so ridiculous that they can't help but let out a short bark of a laugh. Lincoln (after setting Corvus down) will gently take their hands and help slow their breathing down; Theo pulls out a ridiculous amount of snacks and juices to offer them, and Corvus is softly listing rollercoaster facts, eyes darting between all the humans to ensure what he's doing is still correct and helping (it is).

When Doc's apathy threatens to overwhelm them, the creeping numbness that settles in the sidelines, they'll suddenly feel weight on them. Hush settles on top of them, pinning them to the sofa with just the right amount of weight. He also purrs. He read the sound can be soothing to some humans and so is trying it out. The sound sparks curiosity and comfort in Doc, and the relief in feeling again has them curling up around Hush.

Ollie comes back from work one day to find Baby curled up on the couch, red eyed and blankly staring at the tv screen. He'll drop his things in the doorway and rush to the closet, pulling out all the blankets and pillows they own. They'll try and peek at what he's doing but he'll pull the blanket back down over their eyes, stealing a kiss as he returns to his task. After thirty minutes he guides them to the bedroom where he's set up their own pillow fort, with fairy lights haphazardly strung over the bed. His laptop is set up with youtube open and they notice the telltale notification of Max's Pizza pop up on his phone. They have a proper cry, cuddled up in his arms while the two of them watch ttrpg breakdowns - save from the world in their fort.

Baaabe who gets cold super easily and Ash wakes up to them shivering and clinging to him tightly. Blindly he stretches his arm as far as he can go without disturbing them to grab one of the spare blankets he keeps under the bed.. He tosses it awkwardly over the two of them, while thanking his past self for always sleeping shirtless as Baaabe settles, his hand rubbing their back as they drift back into pleasant, warmer dreams.
