[⚠️THIS STORY INCLUDES MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND SELF HARM⚠️] OJ can never truly catch a break while managing something like a hotel. Constant complaints, bills, planning out events... But today, there's something *off* about the hotel, and OJ can't figure out what.

"It was a dark shadow in the shape of a human, walking towards us with a fury. Immediately, we ran. Mostly because we aren't idiots, but partially because that's our first reaction. And what th hell is it anyway? A cryptid? A shadow man?" When Leonidas (Leo) Dawne and his childhood best friend, Everret (Ev) Culvert get to their new stay away camp, it seem normal. That is, until they see something in the woods. A tall, menacing creature that doesn't seem to like their adventurous spirits. By the looks of things they won't last a year at this camp, but who knows.

Nickel had never been particularly secretive. I mean, he never had anything to hide, right? That's what Baseball thought, at least. However, when Nickel looses all recollection of the events of inanimate insanity, it becomes increasingly clear that it's not the case.

(!!Please read the trigger warnings in the first page!!) I apologize for the bad writing the first chapters start with, as this is my FIRST EVER BOOK!! So.. like.. bear with me here,, as I'm heavily self taught (btw don't be surprised if you see them re-written in the future) and you can use TFITE instead of the whole title so it isn't a mouthful! (Pronounced as: Tea-Fight!) Paintbrush is on the edge of losing it. Constantly being misunderstood by the team, especially the relentlessness of Lightbulb. They constantly fight and rant, it's their iconic detail, it's almost the reason why everyone dislikes them! And they're getting sick of it. But all of this goes downhill from one, little, accident. And it was all Paintbrush's fault. Can you blame the poor object? They deal with too much.. and accidents? Well.. They're always bound to happen.. :) This AU/Fanfiction is mine, but feel free to draw fanart, animations, anything!! I'd love credit tho!!

DISCLAIMER THIS WAS WRITTEN & CONCLUDED LONG BEFORE S3 ENDED, AND LONG BEFORE II S2 EPISODE 16. SOME THINGS MAY NOT BE CONSISTENT WITH HOW THINGS WRAPPED UP THERE. KEEP THAT IN MIND MePhone 4 ends up hurting himself, and OJ has to keep an eye on him while he recovers, so he doesn't cause any trouble for the hotel, but as they spend time together, the two end up growing closer. This technically takes place post-canon, since s3 contestants will be mentioned in the hotel cover art by me characters belong to animationepic & the web series inanimate insanity

Hotel OJ, OJ's hotel. Usually it'd just be the usual chaos, 'messes in the kitchen' and such. It's not that different with the new faces around from season two. Although, things start to change a slight bit when Mephone puts the show on a sudden hiatus at the final four. People bond, until things take a turn for the worst. ((Read Tw's!!))

⚠️DISCLAIMER: This story contains character death and disturbing imagery!!⚠️ What happens when Mephone 4 doesn't show up to season 3? What happens when the contestants are forced to fight for their own survival on paradise? Who will be the first to go insane? Based on a tiktok I made, this is basically an II stranded au. Hope you enjoy.

A sequel to the first Stranded in Paradise. The survivors from the island finally arrive back at hotel OJ. How will they deal with the trauma they experienced back on the island? What will change? ⚠️THIS FANFIC CONTAINS DARK AND MATURE THEMES⚠️

The world is being ripped apart at it's seams, and it's up to 10 assigned gods to see the mortal plane back together. But all of them are children or just barely adults... And one of the gods is not as they seem... Will these newly crowned gods be able to overcome the darkness that is being unleashed? --- #1 in Inanimate Insanity! #1 in paper! #1 in bow! #1 in mephone! #1 in cobs! #1 in nickel! #1 in microphone! #1 in Marshmallow! #1 in candle! #1 in mic! #1 in OJ! #1 in apple! #1 in II! #1 in balloon! #1 in ballooninanimateinsanity! #1 in Lightbulb!

Ever feel like you don't belong in a place? How about feeling like an outcast in a familiar place? Well, ever feel like you are hated by just about everyone you know? Don't you ever just feel like running away from that hate and not looking back? Well, Balloon knows what that feels like. He's felt like this for that few years of his life, and he's grown tired of it. Everyone in Hotel OJ hates Balloon, just because he tried to manipulate his team. 'Oh Come on!' he wasn't even good at it! It's been a few weeks since Balloon AND Nickel's elimnation from II2 and OJ just HAD to make them roommates. That's not even the worst part of all this! Everyone, even some from season 2, just doesn't like him and pokes fun with the season 1 contestants. Balloon hates this feeling of being completely alone, and hated by those who didn't see the real him, so why not just, run away? What harm can running away cause if nobody even notices that you're gone? Warnings: Self harm Bullying Slight eating disorder Mentions of su*c*de Hospitals (for those who are afraid!) Gore (blood, mentions of blood, ect) Maybe more if I think of anything! None of these characters are mine! All rights go to AnimationEpic! The only thing that's mine is the plot, and the book cover! (This is a human au! however, everyone will still have their object names.)
