I Have A Love/hate Relationship With Being Weird. I LOVE When Other People Are Weird {even If I Don’t

How would the Hewitt family react if the reader had completely white eyes? (but they can see well, imagine when they are in the dark and their eyes are like animals)

What’s the toughest part about being Batman?Knowing that you’ll never make your parents proud.

Being Batman is sooo hard 😔

How The Hewitts Would React to Someone With Completely White Eyes

_____

Scared - And Highly interested. That's the essence of it.

This is arguably be one of the reasons {if not the main reason} you were spared. A compelling creature with a mutation? That's exactly how Thomas feels.

You could very easily startle these people - Peeking out from corners, the basement, or even the cornfield, all when it's real dark out.

Luda would have a heart attack if she saw two white eyes staring at her from the cornfield...she'd shiver. When she finds out it's you, she'll calm herself down and gently scold you.

"Gosh, ____, you startled me! I could'a had a heart attack right on this here porch." You two will laugh it off, but she'll still be a bit concerned.

Thomas would be extremely cautious: He's just so curious about you. You'll constantly catch him staring at you - Your eyes. He loves your eyes..He {as well as the other family members} are immensely curious as to how it happened.

"Why're your eyes like that?"

"Can you see?" - "Can you see in the dark?"

"Why do they...glow?"

Questions similar to this.

Hoyt is kinda..scared, to be honest. He's very confused; If he doesn't understand everything in fine detail, he gets intimidated. This comes off as annoyance and hatred - But trust, he doesn't hate you.

Jedidiah will draw you all. the. time. He does getting up close and asking questions; Be prepared lol

"Why're your eyes like that? Are you blind? Oh! Are you an animal-hybrid? I've always wanted to be a fox." - "Do they glow in the dark? Oo, oo! Can you see ghosts with those?" He's a very..excitable kid.

Thank you for the ask 🫀!

@lovinqbella I do, in fact, know what you mean x🫀

if I misinterpreted this prompt please let me know! I'll make another post 😈

Give Me A Call, Hun

The community center was never too crowded - Only filled with cyclists and the occasional "roadtrip gone wrong" group. In had been a few months since your wedding, a casual southern Christian affair with a nice Hewitt twist; Mama had given you her previous wedding ring, and it fit you quite nicely. A silver, dainty wedding band with an almost non-existent jewel sculpted in the middle. You wore it religiously - A symbol of your commitment and pride in your relationship with Thomas.

You heard the bell attached to the doorframe ring, lifting your head to attend to the visitor - Another cyclist...great.

You quietly sighed and put on your best "costumer-service" act.

"You need anything?"

The man turned, his features dirtied from sweat, dust, and grime.

"Nothing you can help me with, hun."

He grabbed a beer off one of the shelves, placing it on the counter and leaned on his elbows. "W'you mind grabbing me one of those Marlboro Reds, sweetheart?" - "Thank you, honey."

"Ma'am."

You both turned, Luda Mae had been smoking in the corner.

"You refer to her as 'Ma'am', understood?"

"Yes..yes ma'am." He said sheepishly. He turned back to you, scoffing slightly as he payed for his things.

Leaning closer, he said "Y'know, if you ever need a ride somewhere, or..something extra that I'm sure you can't find out here, give me a call; Huh, hun?" He quickly jotted down his number on his receipt and slid it back to you.

You watched him leave as you turned to Mama, she had the same look on her face as she did the last time someone came in here. It's safe to say, you'd see him again, but not in the way he'd hoped.

Charlie pulled his ass over y'all and Thomas had fun chopping his ass up, yurd

What would the Hewitt family think about a s/o or a victim who dresses modestly. Like they don't ever wear anything revealing because it's either they feel insecure, they have been taught to wear them, or they just like and feel comfortable wearing them. Like a woman will wear a abaya dress, and the men will.... I have no idea what the men modesty chlothes are, but you get the point.

Hi ! This is a wonderful ask - I'll try my best to answer it 🫀

The Hewitt's Reaction to a Modest Reader

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･.

First of all, Luda Mae is so relived. "Finally, a child of God!" Her and the family {excluding Thomas} are so tired of "current culture" and how "non-traditional" it is. Even if you aren't wearing modest clothing because of religious reasons, they'll treat it like you are.

Thomas doesn't mind one bit - he's used to modesty in the Hewitt household, this isn't any different {for the majority}. He loves you for your personality, not your clothes :)

{If you're fem-presenting}: Monty would be a bit..disappointed, that is, if he found you attractive. He will however, find ways to sexualize you despite this:

Using his cane to lift up your clothing

Purposely tripping you

Coercing you into helping him with certain {unnecessary} tasks

He's just being him, honestly {not excusatory}

Hoyt on the other hand, has more self-control {surprisingly}. Your modesty doesn't interest him; He might let his mind wander {if he's attracted to you}, but ultimately, his type involves more..'open' women

"I don't have much of an imagination, so I need to get a distinct image."

If you're wearing modest clothing because of insecurity:

Thomas will 100% understand. He wears his masks because of his insecurities, he will never pressure you to change your clothing.

Hoyt however...will try to coerce you out of said clothing and into more..revealing attire. {That is, if he's into you}

"Cmon, honey, I'm sure you look real nice under those clothes."

{This Sentence} Coming from Thomas {in the form of writing or something similar} or Luda Mae, is a compliment. They're trying to help build your confidence. If it comes from Hoyt however...He's 100% trying to coerce you. He doesn't mean this in an uplifting, pure way. Oh no, no, no, no.

_____

Anyway - Luda Mae is grateful to have a "child of God" under her roof, Monty and Hoyt are indifferent {depending on the person}, and Thomas is supportive of whatever you do 🫀

Hey! I’ve been really into your work on here these last few days. As someone who also loves the 2003 TCM remake, I have a question I’m dying to have answered, but haven’t seen anybody mention it.

So in the movie, when our group of victims are looking through the collection of abandoned cars, they find a jar. Inside is a, suspiciously yellow liquid, and a picture of the hitchhiking girl from the opening.

I have been racking my brain trying to figure out what this jar is ever since I saw the movie for the first time. The best I’ve been able to come up with is that it is some sort of southern spiritualism spell jar. I think I saw one similar to this called a sweetening jar, where you are aiming to get a person to like you more.

But I’m interested in hearing what you have to say about this. Do you think one of the Hewitts were trying to get the hitchhiker to warm up to them? Or was this just some loose end the film makers forgot to tie up and I am reading too much into it?

Hi!! - I'm so glad you like my posts! I actually never considered what this was - But I'm curious!

There's a few possibilities, including the sweetening jar.

For the color of the water, I assume this is a result of dirt. The Hewitts {as seen in many scenes throughout both movies} don't have access to clean water supply - This may be because of rust, or lack of care on their end.

I've found a type of decoration that's almost exactly like what's shown in the 2003 remake: Laminated picture{s} placed in a mason jar, with the optional addition of water. It's used as a way to display pictures, usually vintage ones. The jar {especially when filled with water} gives this 'snow globe' or 'bubble' effect. It makes the picture seem bigger - as well as adding a '3D' effect to it.

These are just my thoughts, but I think the spell jar is just as plausible!

it's been a long time coming, but. . .

enough is enough. i think i've moved in relative silence when it comes to some of the more odd things that occur in this fandom, but one instance in particular is giving me pause. this honestly feels like something better suited for a substack essay, but i'll hold off on that since i think everyone in this specific sub - tumblr ( ? ) should hear this first.

i feel like so much of the call of duty fandom is trapped in a constant woman - hating epidemic.

and i don't just mean 'oh, there's barely any female character x reader content, there's nothing for the girls who like girls'. that's an entirely different issue i may or may not bring up later.

i'm talking about how a good majority of the writing i read in this fandom is so geared towards men. and i don't mean that there's a surplus of male reader content, because there really isn't. i mean that there's so many fics i read that are drenched in the light of 'doe - eyed, pouty, submissive woman who is always eager to please her man, and the idea that the man may be eager to please her in return is such an incredibly radical concept'.

i click on any 'x reader' tag in this fandom, and i'm met with a tidal wave of two specific archetypes;

the doe - eyed, pouty, submissive fem reader who is always eager to please her man and gets off on him essentially treating her like property, or. . .

a reader who has no character. no structure. no personality. a reader who is meant to be vague enough to where the actual reader can neatly insert themselves into their shoes, but at the cost of any innate substance or realness. a reader who is essentially just a placeholder in words.

somehow, inexplicably, it's more often than not the first.

write and read for this fandom long enough, and you'll see what i see in droves. the attention that is lavished on writing within this fandom is relegated to the specific archetype of the tradwife who knows nothing but to cook for her husband and be a willing conduit for his post - deployment stress relief.

and what truly infuriates me the most is that it will be these kinds of writers who are so adamantly against the idea of tradwives. yes, you say you're against it, but can your words hold up when your writing is essentially tradwife propaganda in disguise?

and it just irks me so badly when these mentalities infiltrate the characters themselves. today's specific instance of this was when i was scrolling through the könig x reader tag and i came across this one headcanon list that advertised itself as "loser!könig". nothing innately malicious, of course, but then i saw the tags.

'but also, he's a sucker for the wife, which makes him a loser. say it with me now.'

i want to make it known that i mean no ill intent towards the original author of this specific headcanon list. i don't want any vitriol to be directed at them because i'm speaking my mind about this fandom as a whole. it most likely was meant to be an affectionate, "haha, he's such a malewife loser"-esque endearment. but this set of tags just. . .baffled me.

. . .because when did it become loser - like or a loser - adjacent trait to be a sucker for your wife?

this isn't even the first instance of this. i've seen it before, the way this fandom—sometimes subtly, sometimes unintentionally—pushes this narrative that has been setting us back decades. the idea that there is not only a beauty standard that women must live up to in order to be considered desirable by men, but there is also a mentality that a woman must have in addition.

there's another fic that i read, a 141 x reader one if memory serves me correctly. it featured a reader who was insecure about her appearance, which is absolutely nothing to frown upon. what startled me, though, was the fact that the author themselves referred to the reader as 'ugly'.

the reader is a single mother. she is stated in the fic to have love handles, breakouts, and a thick waist. she has messy hair and wears baggy clothes and has dark undereye circles. she required the love and special attention of four conventionally attractive men who moved in next door in order to feel beautiful.

she is said, by the author in the precluding note, to be meant as a way to 'show some love to readers who feel ugly, instead of petite girly readers'.

as if people with these traits should feel ugly. as if people with these traits cannot be girly.

i understand i may be reading too much into this. i may be making a mountain out of a molehill. but i'm angry about this and this is my blog and you've read this far, so clearly you want to see where this goes.

and this is where it's going.

i spoke about this briefly in a server i'm in and am extremely fond of—shoutout to the shitheads.

i said, quote: "are you nothing but a slave to the whims of a patriarchal society’s dictation on how someone must present in order to be considered desirable? or are you willingly feeding into this at the risk of the self image of so many beautiful people who cannot recognize their own enchanting presences because of people like you howling at them in your sweetest voice that they are anything but?"

i also said: "have you considered the reason for that might be because she’s a recluse and doesn’t go outside apart from making sure her child is getting sufficient vitamin d and is thus making assumptions about what people will think of her on the basis of one bad man’s words to her?"

maybe she doesn't feel ugly because you think the traits she has are ugly. maybe she feels ugly because she doesn't socialize. maybe, instead of just leaving that in the subtext, you should have started with that.

the writer, if i recall correctly, was a woman. by the way. which makes this worse.

it is so difficult for me to understand how the women in this fandom can be so cruel to each other, even implicitly. from the way we're written in reader - insert fics to how we react to each others' ocs and creations. . .it's just so disheartening.

more than anything, it makes me wonder how someone like me—a lesbian who exclusively writes women for women and tries to veer away from the reader and the character falling into any one archetype—is going to find any sort of platform in this fandom.

the bottom line is that there is so much casual misogyny in this fandom. frankly, i'm a little sick of it.

one might think i'm making a big deal out of this. i know. i'm being a killjoy, i'm being a hater, i won't let anyone have any fun. but we need to remember a couple of key points here:

art is always political because there is no way to create something without a modicum of bias.

the politics promoted by the art in this fandom—specifically, the writing—are pushing an agenda that has been consistently used to strip women of their rights and needs for decades.

most of these writers are women themselves.

obviously, there's nothing wrong with a submissive woman. obviously, the characters in call of duty that are most featured in reader - insert content are canonically framed in a lens that makes it seem like they would be the kind of men to only enjoy this kind of woman. obviously, not everyone in this fandom indulges this.

but it occurs enough. and it sets us back.

and i'm sick of it.

thank you for reading this far, and for hearing out what i have to say. i promise i don't do this often—but i also promise that i absolutely should. i love you.

I think some of you forgot that autistic people sometimes act strange and say things that are poorly worded and speak with incorrect tone and misunderstand or miss social cues because they are autistic

Have my extremely shitty, low quality, blurry Hewitt "sketches" as an apology for being inactive :')

Hoyt and Tommy are very hard to draw 😔

Thomas and Hoyt minor body study

Do you think Thomas would kill someone who hurt you by his own instinct or if you ask him?

I think both, honestly. Thomas is a family-oriented, protective hunk of a man - You saw the way he cut up that biker boy, Thomas was pissed.

I think he'd tend to you first {even if it was mental pain} and then finish off the perpetrator. If the perpetrator was Hoyt or Monty...I don't think he'd hurt them. Stare them down, sure, but not hurt or tell them off. I love Thomas but he seems so submissive to his family that I doubt he'd defy them like that.

But overall, absolutely he'd kill someone for you :)
