// 001 : ACTIVITY.         sometimes i will go on hiatus for extended periods of time with/without warning. PLEASE DO NOT    pester me for replies: muse can be fickle and i tend to reply and/or be active on one blog at a time. (i have more than one)   just because i don't reply to you right away doesn't mean i don't want to write with you!  // 002 : TAGGING.         i try my best to keep everything tagged on my blog ( tagging example: blood tw // ) if i miss something, feel free to POLITELY let me know and i will be sure to tag it for you.   all i ask is that you tag anything helluva boss / hazbin hotel related <3  // 003 : DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE.         do not follow me if you are bigoted in any way. i will be looking, and i will block without hesitation.// 004 : MUN =/= MUSE.         this should go without saying but my muses actions and philosophies do not mirror my own. my muses are purposefully written flawed & broken with many issues and backwards ideas. their thoughts and decisions do not mirror my own.// 005 : PSA.         i will not participate in call out culture unless under very specific circumstances, and i urge others to do the same -- often it does way more harm than good. just don't be an asshole and we won’t have a problem, as easy as that <3// 006 : FOLLOWING/BLOCKING.         i don't have an unfollow stipulation, feel free to unfollow/block at any time and for any reason, but please know that i will also operate on this logic and may not warn you or give you a reason before i unfollow/block. no hard feelings;   this is just a hobby    and our spaces should feel fun and safe :))

If you are uncomfy with any of these subjects, I would suggest that you do not follow my blogs. i will try my best to keep everything tagged but im only human and things slip through the cracks!.// 008 : NSFW.         there will be some nsfw on this blog from time to time, mostly in the form of answering headcanon memes, but i do not write nsfw outright --- for the most part i follow the "fade to black" approach in threads. i'm fine with discussing sex between muses i am just shit at writing it out lol// 009 : SHIPPING.         this blog is multiship! but there has got to be chemistry. the only exception to this rule is his apocalypse verse. he is single ship in that verse.  credits  ㅤ psd by sawbonesources. carrd template by elv1raes. noise graphic overlay by ohisms. all graphics are made by me unless otherwise stated on the post!

nieces and nephews.       jeoffery holt, clementine bennettthe mason family farm.       what started as just a single farmhouse on a couple hundred acers of property turned quickly to a little private community --- the whole mason family line lived and worked those lands, tending to crops and raising dairy cows, keeping bees to sell the honey and wax to candle makers and hippies. sandra mason was known for her beautiful gardens, her flowers selling well at their local farmers market booth despite the town's growing suspicion of the family. they made just enough to get by, but the little mason kids grew up with access to fresh meats, milk, eggs, --- they never went hungry. the masons learned to live off the land long ago and kept that tradition close and kept to themselves --- but to the rest of weston, the mason were the gossip of the town. were they touched by satan? did pastor andrew mason really leave the church to form an incestuous satanic cult? were their sacrifices? is that kenny boy really the antichrist? will the masons tampering damn all of lousiana to hell?

kenny mason grew up on an isolated louisiana farm with his parents, 5 older sisters, and the rest of his large, extended family. the mason family farm was pretty self-sufficient, keeping a variety of livestock and growing their own seasonal crops — anything they couldn’t grow or raise themselves was bought in town on the same days they sold their honey and flower bouquets at the quaint weston farmers markets. it was a simple life, but a charmed one — the mason family farm was more or less its own little shantytown, faith led, the grandest and best kept structure on the property being the little handbuilt chapel. Faith was important to the masons —   but kenny never really cared much for it.  Springtime was cause for celebration — winter is over, summer is coming and so too are the harvests. There is a tradition in the mason family; each spring, a small hunting party will travel to find the perfect venison dinner, those left at the farm will prepare for a springtime feast so that they may all pray and thank the Lord for bringing them safely through another wintertime.It was a particularly hot spring day when the hunting party returned from upstate Mississippi with their prized buck. It was an absolute marvel of nature — two times the size of any buck they’ve ever brought back. The creature still had its antlers with more points than any of them have ever seen.   Its eyes almost looked… human.  Kenny didn’t know what it was about this buck, but he knew right then that he wasn’t going to eat it. He tried to urge his family to abstain as well, but the mason family prides themself on their “no waste” lifestyle.   No matter how much kenny tried to tell them not to eat it, they were never going to listen.   He went to bed hungry that night, listening to the festivities from the cold comfort of his room. He was the only one that didn’t have a bite of the buck that night.the changes didn’t take long. It was gradual at first — everyone but Kenny started to come down with something akin to food poisoning, but gradually more symptoms began presenting themselves. Forgetfulness. Listlessness. Inability to sleep or stay asleep, plagued with violent night terrors and visions. It wasn't long until the family was unable to keep food down at all, everything they tried to eat tasted of nothing but rot.   Then the religious delusions.   The hostility came soon after, and then the violence…  The devil lives among them now, wearing the skin of one of the masons, the only way to break this curse is to rend the flesh — only then will they be sated.  And then suddenly, all hell broke loose. Kenny woke up to the screams of his sister and rushed down to check — witnessing his father feasting upon his sister's mutilated corpse on the dining room table. Running outside he was met with a similar scene — his cousins, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews — all of them with weapons or their bare, dirty hands, ripping and tearing at the flesh of one another, feasting on whatever they could get their hands on, howling like animals at the moon.little Missy mason, his elder sister by only a short window and best friend in the whole entire world, stood in the middle of the chaos, untouched and scared. Kenny grabbed her up quickly and ran to the first vehicle he could reach —   the camper van his family used to take out on their hunting trips.   Enough space for the both of them, they can stay there until the dust settles, until everything blows over —but little Missy mason wasn’t as innocent and scared as kenny originally thought she was. She was just as bloodthirsty as the rest of them, it turned out — with his back turned she lunged at him, nails sharp and voice shrill. It’s your fault, brother! If you hadn’t denied the lord’s blessing, we wouldn’t be damned! She had never been that strong before in all their wrestling matches and rough housing before. She easily knocked him to the ground, grabbed a hunting knife from the RV table and threatened to skin him alive.  In the struggle kenny was cut, and in the struggle missy was killed.   Her blood seemed deep into the short pile carpet, seeped into kenny’s clothes and stained his hair. He didn’t have time to mourn. Kenny drove away, leaving the carnage behind him. His family, once great, proud and kind, reduced to nothing but animals driven by hunger.so Kenny stays on the run, never settling down, living in the back of the camper van, afraid that someday he will be found out for the murder of his sister, or possibly blamed for the chaos at the farm. or worse still,   kenny mason is scared that one day he will get sick just like they did.  

MAIN VERSE.

(˗ˏˋ ✞ ⛓ 𝖘𝖜𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖔𝖜𝖗𝖔𝖙 .) — ᵥ ₀₁. main verse.

 
 follows the events of kenny's canon (written above),   he travels around the US, never really finding a place to settle down. your muse could find him literally anywhere in the continental united states, just as long as you can drive/hike to it.arc 001   :   before the curse.         early 20's         still in louisiana with his family, faithless but can go through the motions. shy and not very well socialized, even a little timid.arc 002   :   freshly forsaken.         25 - 27         newly separated from his family, shellshocked and heartbroken --- kenny weeps nightly to god asking for forgiveness, asking for answers.arc 003   :   jaded follower.         current arc / 35        feeling abandoned by god, kenny travels the usa looking for somewhere to settle and start over. all he wants is a fresh start, will he ever get it?arc 004   :   the truth revealed.         35 and on         kenny discovers quickly that demons aren't just an esoteric, philosophical religious threat. demons are real, they live among man wearing their faces while spreading their wickedness. demons are beautiful too, it turns out, and kenny is not above temptation, as much as he would like to think he is.

ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE

(˗ˏˋ ✞ ⛓ 𝖘𝖜𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖔𝖜𝖗𝖔𝖙 .) — ᵥ ₀₂. louisiana overrun.

 
  nearly identical to his main verse but instead of some weird mystery illness its a equally weird mystery illness that's infectious and turns people to zombies through bites and scratches.   my zombie lore is that chronic wasting disease finally made the jump from deer to humans and kenny's family was the unfortunate ground zero for it. instead of his sister being killed at the farm, she is bit and he takes her to the local hospital to treat her wounds, where she turns and spreads the virus --- inadvertently, kenny is responsible for the spread of this virus to the rest of the louisiana, if not the world as a whole.             heavily affiliated with @unpossessionarc 001   :   the before times.       basically identical to main verse, but could be fun to have kenny know other muses before the apocalypse and explore their relationship as the apocalypse just starts hitting louisana.arc 002   :   louisiana's sick.       first days/weeks of the apocalypse. kenny hasn't strayed far from louisiana yet, narrowly avoiding bandits and law enforcement alike.arc 003   :   louisiana overrun.       this is when kenny is wandering the usa, looking for other survivors and a safe place to stay. this is where he meets willow, the first survivor he had seen since the leaving louisiana.arc 004   :   the weeping prophet.       after leaving willow for the first time, kenny finds a group of survivors who quickly form a religious group around him, the group souring into a cult with kenny both the face of it and also it's #1 victim. his ability to predict hardships and disasters can only be explained as a gift from god.arc 005   :   the great escape.       a internal and very one sided power struggle within the survivors cult puts kenny in danger --- so he flees, left to wander the devastated landscape by himself, unable to rest until he finds his willow, his salvation.arc 006   :   salvation at last.       after finding willow  , as well as other survivors, they all work together to rebuild the society they had lost. willow is his anchor, the one that keeps him level headed and rational. together they welcome a son, and together they lead the survivors to paradise.
