A DBD IMAGINES BLOG.
welcome! my name is oktober -- toby for short! i run this little DBD imagines blog by myself for funsies :-) i started playing a year ago and i love the game so much!
this isn't JUST an imagines blog, though!! i always love talking about the game, events, and new things, and i'm happy to offer tips and tricks to anyone who'd like them as well. i'm no expert, but i like to think i am lol!
anyways, this is the carrd for this blog, where you can find all sorts of info about the blog & requests!


REQUEST INFORMATION
GENERAL:
i do headcanon-type bullet list posts; i do not do fanfic requests currently, but i may in the future!
ALL of my imagines are gender neutral, unless otherwise specified by the requester. i also avoid usage of "Y/N" and i avoid pronouns for the reader unless i absolutely need to use them!
requests sent in while my requests are closed will be deleted. but it's absolutely not personal and you're welcome to re-send your request when they're open again! my inbox and blog description will always clearly state whether they're open or closed -- so remember to check!
i reserve my right to not do a request for any reason. i usually won't reject something unless it's uncomfortable for me, so don't worry. if you think your request may have been deleted you're free to ask about it!
multiple characters for one request is totally okay! i can do up to six characters per request.
if you have multiple requests to send in, please send them as separate asks, as it makes it a lot easier for me!
WILL DO:
fluff
NSFW - vanilla & BDSM/S&M are okay!
angst
stalking, obsessiveness, possessiveness, things typical of some of the killers in the fog, just be mindful of my discomfort with the yandere trope!
familial relationships
platonic relationships
QPR relationships
poly relationships (remember to specify if you'd like a request to be poly -- i assume every character included in a request as a separate relationship so i need to know!)
trans canon characters (i.e. reader with a transmasc trapper, reader with a transfem nurse, etc.)
trans reader - of any gender, i'll do my best!

romantic imagines for: the demogorgon, the chatterer, cheryl mason, quentin smith, laurie strode, nicolas cage.
if you don't see something here, you are completely free to ask about if i'll write it or not! the worst thing i'll say is "no thank you" :-)

ABOUT OKTOBER
GENERAL:
names: OKTOBER !! (toby/tobe for short!)
pronouns: he/him and she/her

DBD INFO:
i am a survivor main! i rarely play killer, despite having been a killer main when i started playing.
old killer mains: the dredge (P8), the wraith (P3).
survivor mains: dwight fairfield (P10), felix richter (P4)
survivor build: built to last, resilience, leader, prove thyself.
favorite killer perks: surge, no way out, thrilling tremors, darkness revealed.
favorite survivor perks: deliverance, overzealous, autodidact, desperate measures. (hilariously, i do not typically run healing builds. i'm a gen rusher or an annoying little shit!)
ORIGINAL DBD CHARACTERS:
serenity savidge, AKA the reflection, is my killer self-insert. he is a self-absorbed actress from the 50's, and he was so obsessed with fame he resorted to killing the competition to get ahead. he is snobby and a bit pretentious, yet strangely loved by the other killers. some say his beauty is bewitching, and if you look into his crystal ball it'll drive you mad.
demise davis is my survivor self-insert. he was the lead vocalist/bass guitarist of an alternative metal/nu metal band, which was most prominent in the 90's-2000's. demise is determined to survive and will stop at nothing to ensure the safety and survival of his teammates, as well as himself.
oleander o'malley, AKA the overgrowth, is a killer. they grew up in poverty and took a shining to the great outdoors, specifically plants, fungi, herbs, and their applications. they were devoted to ending the suffering of others through painless poisoning, and burying corpses in their garden that spoke to them. they had to keep the garden quiet.
jonah johnson, AKA the father, is a killer. once a young nun in the witch trials era of america, he was reborn as a respected priest and lead his own branch of the black vale. later, he was betrayed by his followers and burned at the stake. he was consumed by the flames and smoke and his body couldn't be found, but those who witnessed his execution say the fire revealed his true demonic form.

COMMISSION INFORMATION
information regarding my writing commissions. my art commissions are separate, if you'd like an art commission, feel free to contact me and i'll send you the post with that information!
the price is $1.00 for every hundred words! i will round up or down to make it even, depending on the tens place. (E.G. - 362 words would be rounded up to 400 for $4.00, 329 words would be rounded down to 300 for $3.00.)
due to this, the price of the commission will be calculated after i write it, so keep that in mind.
i accept cashapp and venmo currently, i don't have other payment apps. i am sorry if this is inconvenient for you!
PROCESS:
if your commission is accepted, we will discuss what you want. even something that's just two characters and a prompt will work. if you are wanting an OC or self insert in the work, please either send me a (written or drawn) reference sheet of them and a description of their personality, along with anything else you think may be relevant. even if it ends up not being relevant, it will help me!
i will begin writing your commission ASAP. i am a slow writer and i will appreciate your patience. i will send you the first draft when it's completed and you can request any edits you would like. this is where i will request payment, so have it ready!
once all the edits have been made, i will send you the final product. now it's yours!
WILL DO:
OC/self insert x canon, OC x OC, and canon x canon (i don't exclusively take romantically-inclined fics though!)
SFW, NSFW, fluff, angst, hurt/comfort (or no comfort), pretty much any of those
non-DBD! this is my DBD blog, but i will and do write for many other fandoms. feel free to ask about any fandoms and i will tell you if i can write for it.
anything listed under the "will do" section of my request rules.
WON'T DO:
multiple chapters for one commission. if you would like a multi-part commission, please commission them separately. i am willing to write multiple chapters/parts but i am a slow writer, so this would be easier for both of us!
anything listed under the "won't do" section of my request rules.
anything not listed can be discussed. regarding commissions, you can contact me on my DBD blog (@rootsofdread), my main blog (@jawsplitter), or on discord (@jawsplitter). feel free to ask anything concerning my writing, art, or commissions, even if you don't currently plan on buying from me. no questions are stupid questions!
