_{aka I am right here to play around with all the nightmarish ambiguity and metaphor of Peter's canon / exploring themes further / tonight's mood is "fever dream"}

POST CANON

• Hail, Paimon! ...Except Peter's still in there too. Maybe your person is a member of the cult (or their parents are involved, etc. etc.) and have to help take care of this confused, broken, jumbled up mess of identities all tangled up within this unfortunate "healthy male host". Maybe he manages to escape, and ends up collapsing on your front door?? Or maybe Peter ends up staying with his paternal set of grandparents (clearly he had some kind of psychotic break after brutally losing his family), and you meet him somehow, only there's something very wrong with this kid and sometimes he starts talking in tongues. I'm honestly game for literally anything, here.

• Hail, Paimon! Version: Peter's largely or fully gone now and it's just this confused demon king / lost child / thing. Any of the above ^ could happen here, or a whole new set of opportunities. Maybe he escapes from the cult, or kills them all! Serve him? Help him get back down to Hell where he belongs? Help him blend into high school so his demonic cover doesn't get blown?? The main thing would be that this would be fully Paimon, not Peter.

CANON DIVERGENT

• Maybe the Grahams moved away after Charlie's horrific death. Maybe Peter's the new kid at your school, and he seems to be haunted by something that goes beyond metaphorical ghosts. Or maybe you (or your parents?) were a part of the cult and you decided to interfere before their dastardly plans could be fulfilled; maybe you saved Peter somehow and now the two of you have to figure out a way to keep a bunch of demon worshippers from snagging him again. Maybe Paimon's already permanently gotten inside of him, which would inevitably make the task of keeping him out of the cult's hands even more arduous!

ALTERNATE UNIVERSE

(I'm literally here for anything, with the general desire being that I can explore themes of possession / being haunted in Peter at least somewhere along the lines! I can age him up, age him down (I have an account for Child Shenanigans), etc. etc. )

• All the serious, spooky occult shit: maybe a witch or some such summoning Paimon for his Vast Knowledge of all things Secret and Arcane and using Peter as a sacrifice, however that might go: successful? Botched somehow? Maybe it's a less horrific situation and you just end up summoning Paimon the way he's meant to be, with a non-human sacrifice, but he ends up taking your friend as his temporary host? Maybe your person isn't human, themselves. Maybe Peter's desperate for help and contacted your person. Maybe they're going to attempt an exorcism — good luck! Maybe you encounter this spooky teen and decide to take him under your wing. Anything goes here; give me all the supernatural shenanigans your heart desires.

• All the stupid silly shit: as much as I love severe, dramatic situations, I'm also totally here for such energy of "someone conducting a ritual when they shouldn't be and the pizza guy who ambles up the front steps (Peter) ends up possessed by the demon your person just conjured." Congrats! You now have to take care of a misplaced king of Hell for the unforeseeable future. Show him the wonders of pizza? Or maybe you get unwillingly tethered to an ancient demon king in some other way. Maybe you willingly formed a bond with him but he ends up being just like, a shitton more work than you expected and he won't stop following you around and crawling all over your ceiling. Or hey, he's a demon of Knowledge; maybe you summoned him for help with your homework or some shit.

ETC

• In general, personal weaknesses of mine are: hurt / comfort, found family, gut-wrenching pain and despair, unbearable tenderness, and all the horror you can shake a stick at (I love to dig in deeply to emotional / psychological horror just as much as the literal stuff). I'm super flexible, down to explore as things go, and down to indulge any particular desires you might have. :)

• I'm also very interested in dipping into other "versions" of Paimon or expanding on them (him in full out Demon King state aka not just a completely traumatised mess, him as a god / goddess / djinn as depicted in other texts, etc.) I'd really love to play around with demonology themes and concepts, The Goetia / etc.

• Last but certainly not least, MY KINGDOM for fellow horror canon peeps and A24 family❤❤❤
