Trick or Treat Exchange!
Hi!
I am so excited for this exchange. I adore all of the characters I've requested and will be delighted to receive anything about them - all these words are just here for inspiration and I don't have my heart set on anything, so if you want to create something that I haven't mentioned here, please do! I can't wait to see what you come up with ♥
I'm afterism on AO3 and onlylostphysics on tumblr.
General
Fic likes: fics of all ratings, magic and magical realism, moral ambiguity, intelligent protagonists, shameless tropes, distinctive/atmospheric settings, character studies through action, first times and getting together rather than established relationship, dominant women, rain and storms and weather, everything autumnal, everything to do with Halloween.
Art likes: art of all ratings, bright colours, experimental styles, stillness, lighting and shadows, snapshots of a scene, hands, expressive faces, clothes and dressing up and undressing, symbolism, a sense of warmth or cold or atmosphere, rainstorms, character studies and portraits. Here is my other people's art tag on tumblr if you wantprocrastination time more ideas!
I haven't requested art for Gotham or Good Omens because I can't think of any art prompts, but if you want to create art for either of those fandoms I would be delighted to receive it!
Trick & Treat
Trick likes: Atmospheric horror. Psychological horror. Comedy horror! Finding the light in dark places. Spooky houses. Abandoned places. Creepy trees. Dark spaces full of unknown things. That slow, creeping sense that something is Wrong. Apocalypse and post-apocalypse. Dystopia. Science/magic gone wrong. Zombies. Eldritch abominations. Being stalked by something that may or may not be human. Guilt.
Treat likes: Adventures and mysteries and investigations. Roadtrips. Characters taking care of each other in their own way. Competency, and skills being appreciated. Pets. Humour and banter. Domesticity and quiet, peaceful slices of life. Body worship. Silly party games that end in kissing or feelings. Characters doing what they enjoy.
DNWs
I don't have many, and they all have caveats!
- Permanent character death. Like, it's fine if they die, but they need to come back - and as it's trick or treat, it's more than fine if they come back Wrong. This only applies to main characters. OCs can totally die and stay dead, if you want.
- Non-con. For all of my requested characters I'm fine with dub-con and coercion and mind control as along as the requested character is the one in control.
- Animal cruelty or death. Monsters that are technically animals can be killed! But please be nice to pets and wild animals and things that aren't actively trying to kill anyone.
Fandoms
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Seraphina Picquery
I want to know so much more about her. I love her clothes and her confidence and the way she holds herself, and the fact that to get where she is there must be so much more to her than we saw in the film.
Fic prompts:
- How she celebrates Halloween.
- The things she's met, fought or befriended in the Savannah swamps.
- The time at Ilvermorny when she used an advanced dark spell for a good reason, and it went horribly wrong. Maybe she attempted time travel without a time turner, or she accidentally brought all the objects in the school to life and now all the candles are screaming.
- Something ancient and eldritch has physically infected the MACUSA building, like mould in an abandoned swimming pool.
Art prompts: Dressing up or dressing down. 1920s underwear. Playing with magic. Holding court. Talking with ghosts. What she does to relax. Letting her hair down, literally or figuratively. Spending time with her favourite cat (or kneazle or whatever pet you think she would have!). Enjoying herself on Halloween, with light-hearted dressing up or fighting supernatural horrors or anything else!
Ships: I like gen and femslash (I ship her with both the Goldstein sisters, but anyone else from HP or female OCs are great too!), but I'm not interested in any m/f pairings for her.
Fandom-specifc DNW: Please keep her out of the muggle world and all those real life horrors. I'm only interested in magical monsters.
Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
Death, Famine, Pestilence, Pollution, War
I would be delighted to see any of the horsemen, any time, anywhere, doing anything - which I know isn't helpful, so! Is there a time when they've been particularly powerful, or particularly weak? Do they have regrets, or is there a time when they've been more human than personification? Do they scheme and plot, or just let their natural talents infect the world? I'd be equally delighted to see any one of them on top of the world or being crushed by it, so go with whatever inspires you.
Specific prompts:
- The zombie apocalypse is happening. How much are they enjoying themselves?
- The introduction of penicillin physically affects Pestilence, in a body horror kind of way.
- Someone or something is determined to change(/save/doom) the world by destroying the horsemen.
- Something ancient and eldritch has arisen. Is this a good thing for them?
Ships: I don't have any! Free feel to pair them each other or with OCs or keep it gen, I don't mind.
Gotham
Kristen Kringle, Isabella, Ivy Pepper
Kristen Kringle & Isabella - I refuse to believe it's just coincidence that they have the same face, and I would love to see any explanation for it! Immortality, necromancy, clones, secret twins, shape-shifters or whatever else you can think of, I'd love to see how or why it works, what it's like for her to rise from the dead over and over and pretend to be someone new or what it's like stepping into a dead person's shoes or why she still hangs around Gotham. I would particularly like it if she was alive after season 3 (or both of them alive, if you go that route) - this is Gotham, after all.
Ivy Pepper - I just want good things for her. But her treats can be other people's tricks! I'd love to see her getting what she wants, experimenting with her plants and creating things that people never thought possible, creating medicines and poisons and curious things (and yes, plant-based aphrodisiacs and sex pollen and tendril porn are all good, as long as she's entirely in control the whole time!), taming eldritch fungi and making friends with carnivorous climbers.
Ships: ALL THE FEMSLASH, but I'm more than happy with gen! If you want to include romance then I am happy with literally any femslash pairing you can make out of the Gotham women. Kristen/Isabella, Ivy/Selina and Ivy/Tabitha are the first ones that spring to mind but really, anything!
Riverdale
Cheryl Blossom
Her life is already a gothic horror, but I would love something that dived even deeper into that :D
Fic prompts:
- There was something eldritch at Thornhill, and burning the house down didn't kill it.
- She tried to bring Jason back with a book she found in the attic, and now there are zombies everywhere.
- She's sent away to boarding school. It's even more haunted than Thornhill.
- Something went wrong during the faked boating accident, and she remembers drowning. But everything's fine now. Totally fine.
Art prompts: Something as dramatic as she is, full of deliberate colour and contrast. Her monster hunting outfit. Striding through the dark with just a candelabra to light her way. Something eldritch. Hel-ish. Flower meanings. Halloween; getting ready or throwing a party or fighting the ghosts she accidentally summoned or kissing someone whose outfit compliments her own.
Ships: Gen would be more than wonderful! I do ship her with Veronica or Jughead, mostly, but I'm down for twincest or any other pairing as long as it's something she's pursuing (for whatever reasons, that don't necessarily have to involve attraction).
