Don't forget that MC actually has a shop in Hogsmeade. and the things that you can collect from the animals and plants.

But with the Animals only what they want to give.

That too! MC was a lil moneymaker, lol

The only disappointment was that you couldn't REALLY sell things in the shop. Like, you could sell clothes, but that's normal. I wanted to sell my surplus of plants and things, but I couldn't. We were robbed.

So this is how I imagine the group would be/react...

*in the MC's shop in Hogsmeade*

MC: If you need any potion ingredients, let me know, and I probably have some you can use.

Garreth: Really? Like...mongrel fur and spider fangs?

MC: Yeah, I've got a whole cubby for just jars and jars of spider fangs. I even alphabetized which spiders they came from! I was very bored.

Garreth: Wow...You probably want some payment, right?

MC: Eh, I'll give you a student discount. You don't have to pay. Just don't completely wipe out my storage.

Poppy: Is that...THE giant Venomous Tentacula leaf?

MC: Yep. Hobhouse didn't want to come with and get his own leaf, so I thought some herbalist would love to buy it.

Amit: Wow, you have such an array of scarves.

MC: So many of the same ones. I figured someone would want to buy a few.

Natty: I cannot believe you have your own store! Was it expensive?

MC: Not too expensive. I managed to save up some gold-

Ominis: You mean Galleons.

MC: Yes, those. Anyway, I managed to pay upfront, and now, I've got this place! Oh...what time is it?

Sebastian, checking pocketwatch: It's almost nine.

MC: Okay, everyone out.

Garreth with arms full of jars: I wasn't done perusing your supplies!

MC, once they're all outside: I made an agreement with the poltergeist, and he gets to have the store after nine.

Natty: Wait...what?

Amit: Did you just say poltergeist?

MC: Yeah, when I bought this store, the owner was in cahoots with the poltergeist that lurks in the shop. He drove past owners mad, but I managed to make an arrangement with him.

Poppy: ...Can we go back to the part you said a poltergeist lurks here?

MC: There's a chest that leads you down to his elaborate labyrinth of spooky things. There were mannequins, flipped rooms, and stretched hallways. Then I fought his "monster", which was a troll-sized pile of furniture.

Sebastian: You faced all of that ALONE?

MC: Oh yeah. And then when I went to report to Officer Singer about the owner, the owner easily stopped her, and I had to face that mental witch alone. So, not THAT unusual for me. Just annoying.

The group:

Ominis: ...

Ominis: HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?

#MC has both the worst luck and best luck #Always finds trouble but manages to get out of said trouble #I hated that quest though #Mannequins are the WORST #My mc now has phobia of mannequins #Honestly mc HAS to be traumatized after their year #But at least mc has a bunch of friends :]#hogwarts mc #sebastian sallow #ominis gaunt #poppy sweeting #amit thakkar #natsai onai #garreth weasley #hogwarts legacy incorrect quotes #hogwarts legacy #hogwarts legacy headcanons

what are your thoughts on the cheeky lil cow boy (belphie)

Ah yes, Belphegor, a bit of a polarizing character in general, I think. People seem to either really love him or really hate him.

Generally speaking, I think he's deceptively cunning, but not in a malicious way. He's pretty chill most of the time, but he'll do stuff like manipulate his brothers to get them to do his chores for him. Except for Beel, of course. And really they are a unit. Belphie is always ready to fight for Beel and vice versa. But I also really like how they just quietly support each other. Someone will say oh Belphie fell asleep in this weird place and Beel will immediately be like I'll go get him. Or Belphie will be like we need to make sure we bring food to this thing because Beel will get hungry. Like they're just always thinking about each other and I think that's really sweet.

Belphie will also call people out if he wants to. If he has no reason to keep it to himself, he'll straight up tell you if he thinks you're doing something questionable. And his issues with Diavolo indicate to me that he has a problem with authority, like he would be more defiant if he wasn't also lazy lol.

Inevitably, though, we can't really talk about Belphie without discussing the Lesson 16 Incident. At this point, I think most people are aware of those events, but just in case, I'll put the rest of this under a read more. And also it's kinda lengthy, so be forewarned lol.

First of all, I have to say that I was honestly so confused about what was happening in Lesson 16 that I didn't fully understand that Belphie had killed MC. I had to read it multiple times and then read what other people were saying about it. So I never had an intense reaction to it.

But to be fair, it wasn't like we didn't know there was something weird going on the whole time. I knew it was the youngest brother locked up there and it seemed like it was wrong, so that made Lucifer out to be the bad guy of the situation. Then it turns out that wasn't the case at all.

Belphie is manipulative. That's just part of his character. And when he has something that he's trying to do, he's going to use that skill to get it.

Some people are still mad at Lucifer for locking Belphie up at all. Some people are obviously quite upset that Belphie killed MC.

But here's what I think.

It isn't that black and white. Aside from the confusing time travel shenanigans, this event is one of the most realistic things that has ever happened in the story.

Belphie shared Lilith's love of humans. Together they wanted to learn more about the human world. It would be easy for him to blame himself for her interest and what ultimately led to her death. But even if he didn't, he saw the way that it tore his entire family apart.

It wasn't just that his dad got mad at his sister and they had an argument or something.

It was that his dad was going to end his sister's existence and in defiance, his older brother rebelled. And there was a war. This was not some squabble. This was siblings fighting siblings.

Belphie watched his brothers and sisters fight and hurt and kill each other and it all came back to Lilith falling in love with a human.

And then he fell with his brothers, cast out of his home, losing everything he's ever known. His brothers are changing and suffering just like he is.

They don't talk about it. They clearly all keep secrets regarding it still, things that don't come out until MC comes along. Which is supposedly thousands of years after the fact (at least in OG). That means Belphie has had all that time to let that trauma fester. To let it twist inside him. To let it morph into the one thought that became most dominant: that humans are bad.

Is that a fair assessment of what happened? No, of course not. But we're dealing with a war traumatized fallen angel that clearly hasn't worked through any of these feelings in thousands of years.

And then he defies Diavolo and Lucifer panics.

Yes, Lucifer should have found a better way of handling it. But remember what happened to him when he defied authority? He is trying his best to protect Belphie. He is trying not to lose another sibling. He is also still traumatized and therefore overreacting out of fear.

And so was Belphie.

Imagine being locked up like that and a human comes along. A human is free among your brothers to do whatever terrible things humans do while you're powerless to stop them. Of course he's going to try to manipulate that human into setting him free. Of course he's then going to eliminate them because humans have been historically bad for his family.

I read this situation as Belphie being both afraid and angry that a human - the thing he's convinced himself was the main cause of his sister's death - has become so close to his brothers and has the access to his family that could cause another rift among them.

You could say that it was Belphie's idea to get MC to have all the pacts, but that isn't really true, either. By the time MC meets Belphie, they already have a pact with two of his brothers. He sees them already starting to worm their way into his family. And he knows that the only way to get out of the attic is to encourage it. He doesn't really have a choice.

Maybe everyone can now call me a Belphie apologist. But I'm always coming at this from an outside fictional standpoint. I'm like listen he's a flawed character and it's actually pretty realistic of him to react this way considering the circumstances.

However, he did kill MC. And that's why my own MC, Ciaran, has issues with Belphie for a while. It's also traumatic to have someone kill you, so it isn't like I'm saying MC should just forget about it or forgive Belphie immediately. I think it probably should have taken a lot more time for MC to trust Belphie again. Certainly that part of the story was a bit rushed.

But they're dealing with lesson format constraints and also it's a silly otome game so I guess fully formed character arcs can't be expected. Especially since we aren't dealing with routes and they have to cram everybody into the same set of lessons.

In the end, I think Belphie is an interesting and complex character. I think there's a lot of space to explore more about this particular aspect of him, but due to the format of the media and the lack of routes, his more in depth character arc just doesn't exist.

I personally have no problem with Belphie as a character, but I also understand why people don't like him. I am always of the opinion that everyone is free to love or hate or have any emotions at all about fictional characters lol. This is just my personal opinion.

#sorry I didn't mean to get into Belphie character analysis #but it all just kinda came out and once I started I couldn't stop #I don't normally write essays like this about characters that aren't Barbatos lol #though I could probably write essays about all of them if I wanted to #obey me #obey me belphegor #obey me belphie #om belphegor #om belphie #anon asks #misc answers

Do you think Mammon would ever be ready/willing to move out of the HoL with MC? Even if it's a house that's like just across the street from the HoL?

Idk I just really want Mammon and MC to be able to have a place that's completely theirs, and privacy doesn't seem to be much of a thing in the HoL (though I have noticed the boys are at least knocking before coming into MC's room more often than they were lol).

Honestly? No.

The brothers have been through a lot together and even when they complain about each other and wish for time alone with MC or even just time alone for themselves I don't think they'd ever want it permanently

• For one, after living with the chaos of each other for millions of years, suddenly going and living alone with just one other person is going to drive them insane. The quiet of that? It'd be terrible to adjust

• The brothers have been through two wars together and ended up in the Devildom together where their bodies and magic changed and basically they underwent a lot of trauma together. Trauma they got through by sticking together and supporting each other. I definitely don't think they'd want to be seperated after that

• In the "Too Many Insults" Devilgram we see how quiet and just depressed the others get when Mammon leaves for just 3 days. In (I think) "The Rulebook" Devilgram we see how Mammon looks after his younger brothers and Lucifer. He's needed to keep his brothers functioning (relevant post)

• There are multiple chats that show how much Lucifer relies on Mammon, not just for work but also to take breaks and eat. If Mammon leaves Lucifer's gonna end up an overworked, starved corpse rip (relevant post)

• After they lost Lilith in such a traumatic way I really don't think they'd want to be seperated from each other

• In Nightbringer, Mammon says he left the Celestial Realm purely because he wanted to stay with Lucifer, that he would have done anything as long as he got to stay with Lucifer. There's no way he's going to move out (relevant post)

• Also rent! There's a chat where Mammon gets so annoyed with his brothers he wants to move out and get a place with MC. And then he finds out that rent is a thing and instantly nopes out

Would MC want to leave in the first place?

• In Nightbringer, it shows that their default setting is choosing the brothers as a whole even over humanity (relevant post 1 : relevant post 2)

• In Nightbringer, they also talk about how special MC's room is and there are lots of hints that they just really want their room back. I can't see them willingly giving it up (relevant post)

Even if it's just across the street;

1.) MC, Mammon & the rest of the brothers are all too co-dependent to be able to go through with it

2.) Either the rest of the brothers will spend so much time in the new house it'd be like they all live there anyway or Mammon & MC will spend so much time in the HoL that it'd be like they didn't move out at all

Concerning privacy though;

• S4 confirmed that MC & Mammon have been frequently sharing a room since S1 (so for years) and none of the others give a shit about it

• Asmo probably has bi-monthly orgies in his room

• In S2, MC and Mammon made out in the middle of their class during an exam and Mammon full out panted and moaned loudly.... I don't think either of them care much about how much privacy they get (relevant post)

• When they do want significant alone time, it's been established in two or three devilgrams that they book a place to stay for a night or go for a long drive

Could you perhaps write something where gn!mc is just,,, a complete asshole. Fully standoffish and rude, I think it'd be hilarious [bonus points if they have a traumatic backstory for WHY]

No bonus points for me because my asshole MCs exist in a state of suspended animation and they're just like this Because They Are.

Now, I go on and actually explore my idea from an earlier prompt that MC being standoffish would derail the entire plot of OG Season 1 since it requires them to help Belphie get out of the attic.

And if you're wondering, yes, Solomon is quoting KJV Book of Revelation at the end there.

How Your Year-Long Vacation In the Devildom Ended in the Apocalypse

or; Asshole Standoffish MC says what?

Ship: None Word Count: ~1.3k Triggers: Uhhhh... (points to the title)

-----

You're not here to make friends.

And you're definitely not here to date any million-year-old demons who look like they stepped out of the pages of Esquire.

You're here because you're Fate's favorite bitch, and apparently you haven't been suffering enough lately.

So you go ahead and announce all that to your host family the first time you all sit down for dinner.

"...Are humans like that?" asks Asmodeus, looking between you and his brothers. "...I...I don't remember humans being like that."

"Wow. Okay," says Leviathan, staring at his Switch. "First of all, what's your damage. Second, you should probably find the demons who are interested in dating you and let them know, lmao." He fist-bumps Mammon without looking up from the screen.

"What's Esquire?" asks Beel.

"I'm gonna go eat in my room," you say. "Goodnight."

As you leave, you hear Mammon mumble, "Well, they were right about being a bitch."

------

Things aren't any less irritating at that stupid school. Honestly, who names a school after themselves and the fact that they're royalty? Was he just trying to make an easy acronym? Seriously. 'Royal Academy of Diavolo'.... It makes you cringe, hard.

So you sit in the back of all your classes and doodled your favorite sleep paralysis monsters getting closer and closer to the foot of your bed over the course of the day. You're just getting to where you can see the empty white scleras staring up at you when Dumb, Dumb, and Dumber turn up, A.K.A. the other exchange students, A.K.A. Simeon the Angel (dumb), Luke the Baby Angel (also dumb), and Solomon (dumber), the immortal human sorcerer and also the ancient king of Jerusalem? (Like, that Solomon? What the fuck, why does he look like a twenty-three year old anime boy?)

"You must be the newest exchange student," says the tall angel.

"Yeah, and?" you answer.

"Hey, you don't need to be so rude to him!" says the baby angel. His voice makes you want to throw yourself into a furnace.

"Yeah, and?" you answer again.

"Haha! So the new student has some spunk! I like that," says the Biblical king.

"Why are you all bothering me? I was drawing my sleep par--"

"We should all hang out at Purgatory Hall sometime," suggests Simeon, proving he hasn't been paying attention. "By the way, why did Diavolo end up putting you in with the brothers instead of situating you with us?"

"Because I walk around naked at night and I don't care who sees, and there's a child in your dorm."

"Really?" asks Simeon, covering Luke's ears. "Why do you do that?"

"Because fuck you, that's why. Leave me alone."

"I don't remember humans being like that," murmurs Simeon to Solomon as they walk away.

------

"I'm a human too," says the demon in the attic.

"Uh-huh," you say with undisguised skepticism. "And you want me to forge pacts because...?"

"Because then you can release me. Us humans have to stick together."

You let that hang there for a few seconds before dropping the ax.

"...So I know you're Belphegor. Because your fucking picture is up in the house. You absolute moron."

His expression drops.

"You idiot. You lying shit. Don't waste my time like this again. I'm not forging pacts with any demons. I know you missed my first dinner here, but to sum it up: I'm not here to make friends."

"I don't remember humans being like this," he mumbles to himself. "Wha- hey! Wait! Where are you going?! Come back! Come- come back!!!"

-----

It's Diavolo's birthday party, and Lucifer forces you to come.

By that, I mean he physically picks you up and drags you there while you struggle and rage.

"I don't remember humans being like this," Diavolo says to Barbatos with some concern as he sees you carried thrashing through the entry.

"Oh, they absolutely are," argues Solomon. "I only calmed down after I'd been around about a hundred years. But for their stage of development, I'd say they're pretty much par for the course."

Barbatos stares blankly at Solomon as Diavolo nods sagely. "I see, I see... I suppose I'll have to keep that in mind when selecting our next exchange student."

-----

"Finally! The year is almost up, which means this loser's going back to the human world, and Belphie's gonna come back home!" cheers Mammon.

"Very expository of you," Satan replies dryly.

"Oh, Belphie is Belphegor, right? Your youngest brother?" you ask, looking up from the knife you've been sharpening. It's one of the chores you reluctantly accepted over the course of your stay here. You're taking care of your knife duties while brothers 2 and 4 cook dinner.

"Uh, obviously," snorts Mammon. "Why, what do you care? You'll be gone before he gets here."

"I forgot I never mentioned this to any of you. He's in the attic."

Mammon and Satan stare at you. Mammon chuckles nervously. "Whaaa? Don't be stupid, there's nothing up in the attic. Lucifer doesn't even let us go up there."

You stare back at him, unblinking. The two brothers glance at each other.

-----

You sit on your suitcase in the front hall of the House of Lamentation as the place goes up in flames.

Beelzebub is in a mindless rage, cursing Lucifer and breaking down walls. Every now and then, the entire house rumbles, indicating its structural integrity is just that much less solid.

Leviathan summoned Lotan in a moment of panic when Mammon kicked his door in and announced that Belphegor was going to war against the human world and Lucifer and Diavolo and he'd better pick sides before he got drafted, so the entire ground floor is soaked in a few inches of water and tentacles keep reaching out from the depths of the house. You swat them away whenever they get too close. You're not sure where Levi is now, but based on the fact you can hear Mammon screaming and pounding at the bathroom door, you can make a good guess.

Asmodeus released Cerberus from the basement after charming him, and when he realized the dog was too enraptured to obey Lucifer, the pressure got to him and he fled. Now the two are on the war path to Majolish, because 'all this drama is stressing [them] out' and 'this is how [they] cope, okay?'

Lucifer is grappling with Belphie and Satan, who, upon hearing that Belphie intended to rebel against Lucifer, joined his cause. He keeps trying to bang their heads together; you can see it happening in front of the fireplace down the hall. But Satan's tail keeps slashing at him like some sort of prehensile melee weapon and it's clearly at least somewhat effective.

Looking up, you see what appears to be a pair of dragons grappling in the sky, and all around you are the sounds of screams and sirens. The earth rumbles around you, and even the stars seemed to be falling from the sky.

"I can't believe you did it!"

You turn around in surprise as the door opens. Solomon stands there, beaming at you like a proud father. "You really did it! You broke the sixth seal!"

"Sorry, what?"

"'And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood!'"

"Sorry, what?"

The roof begins to cave in, so you step out of the way, and Solomon laughs maniacally.

"It's still going! 'And the great kings of the land said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne!"'" Another chunk of the ceiling crashes directly in front of you.

"Are you high?"

"Yes!"

"Share."

So we smoke a joint, staring up through the broken roof into the starless sky, watching demons and brawl, awaiting the breaking of the seventh seal: silence.

Oh we are so BACK

When I tell you I saw this and died. HELLO?????

I keep hiding my face lahshjsdhjgfsaf HE HAS NO RIGHT. NO RIGHT AT ALL BEING THAT SEXILY INTENSE AAAAAAAAAAA

Anyway, I should probably try to make some attempt at describing the event since. If I don't I'll just be barking/crying/hiding my face for the next twelve hours.

Basically--and I'm not sure this is going to be across the board, but it held true for Napoleon and Sebastian at least--each suitor has a birthday event this year instead of a separate story. Comte's won't be released until tomorrow, but they have posted a preview.

From what I gather, he talks a little bit about himself and reveals parts of his past that haven't come to light in the game yet. There wasn't really enough to convey a coherent narrative beyond attending a party, but the line displayed here does get across the larger theme:

Comte: (I don't need momentary pleasure or ephemeral affection any longer. Now that I know love, there's nothing but you.)

He talks about how the aristocracy have thrown parties and extravagant celebrations for his birthday for most of his life. But none of it has ever really made him happy, largely because he knows that they are attempts to strengthen and broadcast power relations within high society. While I don't think he means it's entirely devoid of well wishes, I do think he sees it as a nexus of influence--and thus, by nature, impersonal. And honestly, I don't think he's wrong about that; the higher the echelon in social standing, the more it requires performance to maintain the position.

That being said, there is a fascinating flashback where he remembers a pureblood telling him about how falling in love with a human is an experience of another caliber entirely. My understanding is that Comte was still a fairly young vampire at the time, so he didn't really understand what the person was getting at. It seems like the other pureblood was trying to convey the difference in feeling, perhaps the fact that humans are more grounded in accordance with how they live--the reality and necessity of change.

After reading this--and the recent 5th bday story--I can absolutely see how change is something Comte has a complicated relationship with. He's known a certain way of life for so long, has constructed a sensibility of distant, rational maturity. After all the heartbreak of his youth, and two very acute traumatic events in his life, I can see why he'd be so afraid of broaching any kind of proximity with another person. Because on some level it's so much easier not to put your feelings on the line, to never have to fear devastating loss. And that's to say nothing of the worry of being unable to measure up on behalf of another person, of letting them down.

I'm so excited to see the rest of the contents, but something about the preview made me equal parts giddy and enamored (all I do is kick my feet with excitement LOL). I think what gets to me with Comte is that he truly does love companionship as a place to rest, a place where he can be honest about himself and his feelings without fear of ridicule (and the same goes for MC). In a world increasingly obsessed with surface level performances of power, status, and emotion, it's hard not to feel his exhaustion to the core.

Also, because these lines at the end more or less destroyed me in the best possible way:

MC: ...The you who had nowhere to belong no longer exists. In much the same way...Abel, I belong to you. Comte: ... Comte: I wish I could say to myself all those years ago, the me who kept indulging in such paltry things. Comte: Until you meet MC, you will never know love... The warmth of MC in my arms filled me with such joy I was near tears. (I don't need momentary pleasure or ephemeral affection any longer. Now that I know love, there's nothing but you.) The moment my lips found hers, the sweetness lit a fire deep in my body. Comte: These cute lips that melt against mine, the heat of your skin, the love that envelops me in your embrace--always leaves me so deeply in love with you.

#ikevamp #ikemen vampire #ikevamp comte #ikevamp saint germain #ikevamp spoilers #LETS GO ABEL UNPACKING ALL THOSE COPING MECHANISMS #**pats the couch next to me** CONFIDE IN ME #but in all seriousness i really do love how raw his relief and happiness feels #to have spent all of those years trying to subsist on emotional crumbs and numbing himself #and mc is so real for just gathering him in her arms and holding him tight QUEEN MOOD!!!!#i really really really love that general recurrence in his stories too #of how he always feels so isolated and out of place even when he's surrounded by people #yet all it takes is mc saying 'you belong to me--just as I belong to you. you're never truly alone :>'#to make him both overjoyed but also unhinged with so much love for her--to feel alive #also man........MAN.....#him looking back at who he used to be vs who he is now #im so caught between memeing like 'you know what that is? growth!'#but also lowkey weeping from the fact that he feels loved enough to look back and fully admit it wasn't quite happiness #that he was just surviving the only way he knew how--not really living #ABEL THE THINGS YOU DO TO ME #CMERE LOVER BOY #comte propaganda #fangdad propaganda #baguettosaurus #literally october was always my favorite month but its even better now that it just becomes a comte-loving festival for me #truly all the joys of monsterfking all tg

Chevalier: Pregnancy and Family Chapter 6

Tag: @jenaiea@clavis-hedonist@emelie-min@elenaclemence@quin-ny@yanderevi@aynfp@lucyw260@aquagirl1978@ikemen-prince-writers-posts@nervousharmonyangel@vynz0ne@zahrabasiri @rhodolitesrose@kuromitokito @aynfp @tele86 @flimflam707 @hestia0705

I'm sorry for the HUGE delay in the chapter releases! I hope you enjoy! Pls don't forget to like and reblog as this gives me inspiration and power to write more. Pls tell me if u want to be tagged for next chapters.

Chapter 1\ Chapter 2\ Chapter 3 \ Chapter 4 \ Chapter 5

Few weeks have passed since the poison incident and life seems to have gone back to it’s normal course in the royal palace of Rhodolite.

MC seems to have all but forgotten about the incident and was smiling happily again. Or so it seemed.

Chevalier has noticed that MC, who usually liked desserts so much, has stopped eating them all together. She also seemed to be a lot more careful about her food.

That night again, he watched her push the Rose cheesecake plate away from her with an almost sad look on her face.

It didn’t seem like she was disgusted, more like scared or traumatized.

Of course, such a terrible incident could not have passed without leaving some marks. Even he, who was always admired for his mental fortitude was heavily impacted by the incident and had every dish that was served on her table inspected over and over again.

But this could not go on, MC was barely eating anything and this was starting to worry him. He deduced that since the root of the issue was sweets, he had to make her eat them again.

But how? A royal decree? That was certainly not it.

Maybe he could ask the help of a certain brother of his who was particularly good with baking treats of all sorts.

And so, the next morning, Chevalier stormed into the Domestic faction office looking for Yves.

The 5th prince only stared at him with wide eyes as the king sat in front of him on the sofa.

His older brother had never ever sought him out before. Honestly sometimes Yves thought Chevalier did not know his name.

There was a long silence in the big messy office before Chevalier finally said:

“Showoff, I need your help.”

Help? Chevalier needed HELP? and not anyone’s help, HIS help?

Licht, Leon and Jin all came and sat next to Yves, curious about whatever his majesty the king, a genius born every thousand years could ever need from the 5th prince.

Chevalier cleared his throat and started speaking

“Since the incident MC has not been eating very well, particularly desserts.”

“Oh no! she always seemed particularly fond of sweets, especially after her pregnancy.” Jin said, earning an impatient glare from Chevalier.

The king cleared his throat again, clearly disliking being interrupted before starting to speak once more: “It seems the poison incident heavily affected her. Showoff, you are a good baker and MC loves your sweet. Bake something for her.”

“I see! Poor MC! Very well! We shall have a cozy tea party! I’m sure MC would enjoy it! How about tomorrow afternoon, your majesty?” Yves said feeling bad for MC but happy that there was something he could do for his brother and beloved sister in law; Not that he’d ever admit it.

And so the men agreed and the next afternoon, Chevalier escorted MC to the rose garden.

“Where are we going, Chevalier? Are we going for a walk?”

Chevalier just squeezed her hand before leading her to a beautifully decorated dessert table full of all kinds of delicious treats. The princes, Sariel, Cecilia and Rio were all sitting already and only two chairs were empty.

As Chevalier led MC to her chair, the young queen was looking around, bewildered by all the diverse desert that were laid on the table.

As soon as MC was seated, Chevalier turned around on his heels and was walking away from the cozy garden party.

But before he could get any further he heard his wife's voice calling for him, when he turned around she patted the chair next to her, indicating for him to come sit.

“My presence would only sour the mood, simpleton. Enjoy your tea party. You can tell me all about it later.” He smiled at her.

“No way!” Clavis stood up and grabbed Chevalier by the arm.

“This tea party is to celebrate MC’s pregnancy and it would not feel complete without the baby’s father!” said Yves.

Jin grabbed Chevalier by the shoulder and dragged him toward his seat, next to MC who was smiling at the warm scene in front of her.

“We can assure you no one here is scared of you, your majesty” Sariel added.

Chevalier sighed “Ridiculous” before sitting next to his wife.

Everyone sat and Cecilia got up to serve everyone tea(herbal because MC was pregnant). Conversation was flowing smoothly but everyone’s attention was on MC who had not touched a single dish.

Suddenly silence fell as Yves stood up and served MC a piece of her favorite cake.

She stared at it for a while before saying “I’m sorry Yves, I’m not very hungry.”

“MC, me and Licht got out together this morning to get the ingredients, we checked everything many times again, and nothing left our eyes for even a second. Everything here, including the tea was made by my own hand and no one but us touched anything. I can assure you this is not poisoned.” Yves explained hoping this could appease her fears.

“It would make us very happy if you had a taste” Jin added.

“Yeah! Just have a bite and if ya don’t like it, you can stop!” Luke said.

After a few seconds, MC picked her fork and took a bite of the cake. After chewing for a bit, she finally started crying.

“I’m sorry! I know I’m being overly dramatic! I was just so scared and I-” MC was practically sobbing.

“Your majesty, do not blame yourself for your feelings. Your fears and worries are valid and you should not demean them or feel sorry for them.” Cecilia grabbed MC’s hand.

MC finally let go and after a good while of crying, she was back to smiling and eating. The party continued in a warm atmosphere and Chevalier sat there wondering what the old him would think if he saw himself sitting with all his brothers drinking tea and laughing. Of course, Chevalier did not really participate in the conversation but he was actively listening.

He remembered MC telling him that she was going to teach him about all different types of love. Was this one of them? Fraternal love? Familial love?

He did not know, but he felt his face soften and he felt oddly at peace.

The party lasted for a couple of hours, and MC returned to her room feeling light and relaxed. Of course, her fear would not be solved in a single meal but this was a step toward recovery and it was good enough.

Before leaving, Chevalier turned toward his younger brother and said “This party was a good idea, good job, Yves.” Before leaving in a flutter of his cape.

All the prince stood there, shocked by the fact that Chevalier had finally called one of them, aside from Clavis, by his name.

It wasn’t long before the brothers started competing to have there Older\Younger brother call them by their names.

But that, is a story for another time.

Ooooo here we go

————

My main MC is an omega girlie. She has long white hair that has prematurely greyed. She’s on the shorter side with a petite figure and (for now) dim light blue eyes that have since lost hope. Getting abandoned by her original pack already left a gigantic mental scar and then being imprisoned by the djinns snuffed out any spark of life left.

In her years of captivity she lost any will to fight and since was treated almost as a pet since she never tried fighting back or escaping. Her giant white wolf reduced to nothing more than a cowering pup. She’d spend her nights staring off into the darkness sometimes wishing for nothing more than a quick death.

When getting rescued by Bela and the others she felt maybe a spark of hope before the voice in her head snuffed it out. “They don’t want you”, “You’ll be abandoned again”, “Who on earth would want a stray?”, “Keep your head down and be a good pet and maybe this time you won’t get left behind”.

These thoughts float in her head as she’s taken back to the pack house. Since she was petted by the djinns whenever they felt like it her body freezes up on command whenever anyone pets her even if it’s another wolf. Though the wolves touch provides more comfort her body just won’t allow itself to relax under their touch.

She finds herself alone in her makeshift room at the pack house all the time. Sometimes just resting but other times being plagued by negative thoughts. A small part of her finds just a bit of comfort with Bela’s presence. She tries keeping absolutely silent whenever Bela is in the room because she’s afraid if she makes any noise she’ll be found annoying and thus kicked out.

Over time she sees that this pack is nothing like her old one. They care for each other and work together. Even though Rainn was slightly hostile MC feels no anger and ultimately understands why. “Who would want a pathetic stray like me near their pack?” This thought unfortunately surfaces in her head, though.

The pups were the biggest surprise to my MC. She was absolutely terrified to be alone with them. “One wrong move and it’s over.” She remained still but lost the fight to the instinct to nudge a pup with her snout. For the first time in a while she her tense body relax a bit. Until a pup accidentally put pressure on her bad leg. She yelped in surprise/pain and then that summoned Bela to the room. She felt terrified she’d be kicked out for even being near the pups. But Bela apologized to her. She felt relief that she won’t be kicked out but also slightly worried for the pups for their upcoming scolding.

The next biggest surprise was Rainn apologizing to her. She felt immense confusion. But then when Rainn brought her food? If she was in her human form she’d be a sobbing blubbering mess. Honestly idk if she’d eat the cupcakes (I think that’s what they were?) or just keep them and look at them.

MC felt more calm after that but still was surprised when Kesha visited. She felt conflicted when she realized what Kesha was offering. But… She felt something spark in her. Just a little. She scooted over to allow Kesha in her blanket nest. She surprised herself by actually falling asleep rather quickly after.

————

That’s all I got for now. I think ultimately Bela will be my MC’s canon romance. I rlly like Bela 😩. I’m patiently waiting for the shifting reveal so they see my huge omega MC turn into this short traumatized girl. And she’s not even near as old as her greying hair points to.

I feel like after she feels more comfortable in the pack and is able to shift she’ll become like Kesha and seek physical affection. Future MC’s favorite being sitting on Bela’s lap while they do paperwork or smth or just relax.

She’d be big on being cuddle buddies with Kesha.

I gotta wait till we meet Indigo to form a dynamic.

Even after becoming a part of the pack my MC would still have invisible restraints. Like in the future one day she hears someone like another wolf tell the pups to sit down for lunch or smth completely innocent she’ll immediately sit whether in her wolf or human form. She’ll just sorta look at herself in shock and then slowly get up and hide somewhere for a while curled into a ball.

Okay imma end it here since I feel like I rambled too much

Your omega pup is a cutie and she deserves all the cuddles and love. I think many are excited for the first ever shifting and I am too!

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....Thanks...

ahh this is such a fun question, thanks so much for the ask! a difficult question as well lol, i am very indecisive so a top 10 anything is... tough

i'll limit myself to animanga only, aaand lump some characters in under the same banner so there's definitely going to be more than 10 here. i'm also prohibiting myself from giving more than one slot to hpmi characters or that would just be the whole list

anyway:

ICHISAMA (package deal, do not separate)

this is probably obvious (or should be obvious) from my pinned but in first place are of course my forever blorbos (and forever otp) ichiro and samatoki of hypnosis mic

it's hard to say what i like about them besides "literally everything" which is kind of funny because for like the first year-ish of me being into hpmi neither of them were my top favorites lol

and now i genuinely have to say i like them both equally, and like them both the most. out of any characters of anything ever. i typed a bunch of paragraphs after this but think i'll actually just stop here because nothing really does justice to how they make me feel (unwell, in a good way)

this post is already getting long so everything else will go under a cut! and besides ichisama in first, none of the other characters will be strictly ranked in order. mostly just listed as i think of them

2. bon my beloved, of showa genroku rakugo shinju

this is my favorite anime of all time, and what i would personally consider the best anime of all time, and bon is perhaps the single most beautiful character with the single most beautiful story i've consumed ever. i never feel any urge to make or consume fanworks of this series because it's just so mind-blowingly perfect and complete to me

i won't spoil too much about the series, but it's a tragedy, and that's something i don't read or watch much of. so it's truly exception for this to be my favorite, but it was just that good

bon is in so many ways a tragic character, and the series allows you to see him through his whole life. he's tragic in such a hauntingly beautiful way, though, and i left the series feeling like he now lives in my bones

this is probably also my favorite ishida akira role ever, which is saying a lot because he's always great. i love the anime because it gives such life to the rakugo performed in the series, and though i'm not an expert on rakugo, i felt like the performances were top-tier. and it always impresses me when voice actors take on roles that require them to perform a whole ass other art form (like rakugo or rap)

3. aomine (knb) AND grimmjow (bleach)

these are the same goddamn man i'm putting them together no one can stop me. they are a) blue b) panther-coded c) very aggro d) very aggro at a ginger mc specifically e) DEPRESSED and f) voiced by suwabe

(though honestly grimmjow's just here because they're too similar to separate, aomine's the real favorite here)

the thing with aomine is basically—

—and that paired with his tough guy/badass/fuckface manner is very appealing to me. i don't think it's even remotely possible for me to be brief in why he's so dear to me, but the short version is he's a deeply traumatized asshole and i'm into that

4. KIYOSE HAIJI RUN WITH THE WIND GUY OF ALL TIME (and various other sports guys who are single mothers)

i may have a lot of guys of all times but haiji is for real. before ichiro he was my favorite character of anything ever for a while, and he is definitely my favorite type of sports guy (so a lot of other sports guys are going to be lumped into this category with him lol)

he has an infectious passion for running and he will infect you. whether you let him or not. it's not negotiable. you will run. no matter what

i think he brings out the best in those around him, sometimes at a detrimental cost to himself. he pushes his team hard but pushes himself even harder. we stan a self-destructive king

and i'm putting natsusa number24 right in this rank with him

because while number24 is objectively Not a good anime, it's easily one of my favorite sports series and i sincerely love natsusa just as much as i love haiji. natsusa is like if someone made haiji but cranked the bitch factor up to one billion, he is the most gaslit gatekeep girlboss guy in all of sports anime and i love him for that

bonus shoutout to iura kei of shakunetsu kabaddi, usui yuuta of days, and sugawara koushi of haikyuu. gotta be my favorite flavor of sports guy

(ok this is not even fully true because i think my days favorite did ultimately end up being mizuki because he's just so fucking stupid BUT usui i still love you.........)

5. kaworu and all his ridiculously many expies (aka the "and then a weird guy appear" category)

basically i'm talking about these fucks

they show up, sometimes not even for very long, and all they do is cause problems (ok victor probably doesn't really belong here but he honestly does fit the mold and i'm too lazy to crop him out from this old graphic i made lol) and love another weird guy so catastrophically that it alters the course of the story

the way kaworu loves shinji the way komaeda loves hinata the way zashunina…… obsesses over shindo. like fine wine to me, chef's kiss. tbh that's why victor fits the mold for me, his and yuuri's love is less the "People Will Die" type of catastrophic but it's still life-changing, life-saving, for them both

ironically even though kaworu is a ryo expy himself i'm not. i'm not that big on ryo, i'll be honest. maybe it's because i wasn't the biggest of netflix devilman in general. i should probably read the manga sometime, might change my mind

6. SOFT BOYS natsume and rei

putting them together in part because lol look at them making the same pose on their anime covers even

these are both (natumse's book of friends and march comes in like a lion) two of my favorite series, and two of my favorite protagonists. they're soft but not weak, hurt but not broken. it just feels comfortable to spend time with them, to follow them even when they're hurting

7. CELTY MY BELOVED, of durarara

honestly celty is just cool as fuck. there are lots and lots of reasons to love her but i get so incoherent about it. it's really strange because i feel like the way narita writes women is not great in many ways, and yet... he always fucking... writes the hottest fucking women goddamn, i can't be mad about that

i always liked shinra too. because of how relatable he was lmao. i would be a weird little man about celty too i'm sorry

8. sir integra fairbrook wingates hellsing, of hellsing

god. yet another. she's just so fucking cool. massively obsessed with her. it's been too long since i've watched hellsing (and durarara for that matter) for me to remember a ton of details but her whole personality is just so appealing to me

you know the way people like fma olivier armstrong. sir integra's my armstrong

9. hei, of darker than black

once again he's just cool as fuck, also i'm chinese and it's rare to see a really good chinese character in anime, much less as a main character. darker than black is an older series at this point, but it remains one of my old favorites. second season was a bit questionable but honestly i didn't hate it. my boy got fuucked uuupppppp (said with delight)

funny story about hei is when i first started watching the show there was this moment where i thought "this is a weird detail to notice but something about his collarbones look really nice to me? they're just two lines but idk they're lovely"

THEN LATER IN THE SERIES on at least two other occasions that i can remember, maybe more, actual characters in canon commented on THIS SPECIFIC THING. HIS COLLARBONES. so what do i like about hei? what does anyone like about hei? apparently it's his collarbones lmao

10. nooooo i'm running out of space now and there are so many more blorbso i would talk about i can't choose who to put here but but but closing my eyes and picking the first name that comes to mind MIKOTO SUOH K PROJECT

part of me thinks i shouldn't actually put him here because he's, like, red samatoki lmao but no he deserves a spot. i think. idk. that's what i'm going with for now but, you know, indecisive

anyway. love a tragic mfer with one dead boyfriend who haunts the narrative and another ex who [redacted idk if anyone is going to be reading this far but just in case no one wants k spoilers i want say anything but you know this show is old as balls by now]

i actually love both of the factions in k (there are more factions later but i'm focusing on red and blue) because they're both families in different ways, and mikoto and munakata both care about their families in different ways (yes i love that bitch munakata too)

and the way they care for their people while failing to fully let their people care for them in return is sooooo delicious as a character trait to me

so that's the end of this enormous post i guess! there are approximately a billion other characters i love that i didn't get to mention but i will do my best to shut up now lmao

thank you again for the ask, very fun exercise to think about!

#asks #long post #<- NOT KIDDING. DO NOT CLICK THE READ MORE IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED. IT'S A BEAST #actually last thing is OBLIGATORY SHOUTOUT TO DOMINIC CREHADOR I GUESS LMAO #I LOVE YOU YOU LEOPARD PRINT BITCH SORRY FOR STEALING YOUR NAME #you unfortunately do not make it into the top 10 and are in fact not even my favorite character of your series #but i do love you.........

The water splashing scene with them made me actually tear up. It has been far too long. 🥹

But I have some thoughts; IMTURA'S REACTION MADE ME SO SAD AND I ACTUALLY GASPED WHEN SHE ATTACKED US. I never gasp at such things but bitch did that catch me off guard. Imtura, my girl, you pass the friend vibe check. (why didn't anyone, even question if it was really the MC? after literally fighting the shadow realm literally last book. 😒)

But also the diamond choice just solidified to me and I think a lot of others that their reactions (Nia and Mal, Tyril was okay?) were underwhelming, because THEY though MC WAS FUCKING DEAD??? Are we gonna unpack that or what, because that's traumatic as hell for so many reasons. PB sort of brushed it off? And also them literally bumbling about, failing to fight back against Valax, THEY HAD AN EXTRA YEAR TO LEARN NEW TRICKS (to be fair, she is a badass; she pounded all our asses 🫢) but once they saw that MC is in trouble they like superpowers of friendship activate (huhhh).

So, they are just whizzing through the plot, because honestly it felt a bit rushed and underdeveloped. (personal opinion) The first two chapters, I could forgive, but chapters 3-4, they kind of rushed it to start getting into the meat of the story. And I don't know if we needed a reintroduction with the team, but I guess it was to show what they were up to after a whole ass year. (they should've made it three tbh)

^Also what the actual shiz is this, I'm pretty sure that money they used to create this would have gone for a better purpose. 😕

Btw, didn't they say in this chapter that giving up was admitting that MC was dead; sorry, but from where I'm sitting, Nia and Mal did exactly that. Meanwhile Tyril was off fighting some fuzzy bitch somewhere up on a mountain. Unless it is proven how they tried, but like the artifacts they got (ch.3) wasn't even for MC'S SAKE OR WHATNOT.

I could rant all night but, I value my time. Waiting for another chapter is gonna be a bitch, but hoefully it's gonna be all dandy.

If it’s not too much trouble could I get headcannons of the WHB demons seeing how stressed MC gets while traveling?

(It’s me, Hi, I’m the MC in this case)

Meanwhile the plane ends up being one of Mammom’s 50 billion private jets he owns for shits and giggles 💀

🦩

This is late, I know, but I have been a very busy goose lately and things just keep piling up around me. I guess you sent this before your big cruise, but unfortunately you are getting it afterward. 😔

ANYWAY...

Satan

Always go to Satan first. He has his head on straight and will immediately be doing whatever is needed to help MC. Take Ppyong when they travel if they need a companion. He's small enough to go anywhere they may need and can get bigger (and scarier) in a pinch. He has their entire itinerary printed out and given to them so they never have to feel lost. He will even do pre-travel meetings with them to help with all that stress.

I don't think there is a thing this man hasn't accounted for, honestly.... assuming he's not having a depression crash. He's not very helpful at those times... That's why Sitri is there to help.

Mammon

Mammon would never let MC travel alone. He would find any way possible to go with them. Yes, he will use the excuse that he clearly needs to be there to help with their stress. Travel on his very privately owned plane! It's not stressful when you're making the rules.

Also, he will be finding any excuse to hold them during the ride and loading them with amazing food and drink. Honestly, the ride is an experience in and of itself.

Beelzebub

The man travels more in one day than some people do in a year. You would think that would make him a good person to talk to about travel jitters... you would be wrong.

He is so nonchalant about traveling that he doesn't even know the first thing about helping MC out when they get stressed. The actual ride his going to be awful, sorry.

He doesn't offer to travel with them, but you know he will somehow "accidently" end up running into them while they are out. After the meet up, he will gladly start showing them around because of course he is familiar with everything.

Strangely, I don't think he is consciously helping out, but because everything in life just sort of works out for him and he is so positive and charismatic, being around him melts away all the anxiety.

Good luck on the trip back though, because he'll bounce before that just to meet them when they make it back home like nothing happened.

Leviathan

I really think his ability to help is dependent on what the issue is. He would probably be best for the actual traveling part (ie, plane, boat, train, etc.). He will hand you anti-nausea medicine and a sleeping potion. Can't be anxious and stressed if you're asleep.

I get the worst feeling that he spends most of his travel time in his coffin so he doesn't have to deal with being in new, unfamiliar places. Like, he will spend the entire trip in there except for the times he absolutely has to leave so his idea of a trip is just his coffin being in a new place.

Basically, the kind of person who travels to a new country and spends all his time in the hotel room watching TV. Isn't that so relaxing?

Lucifer

I know he just came out, but I want to say he would just be the worst. MC gets stressed and he would immediately be using that against them to make them cry. He is, after all, into that.

As for if he would do anything that isn't completely traumatizing... maybe. But, uhh, I think he would worry about the crying first, because once he knows how to trigger it he can do it again whenever he wants.

Could you tell us a bit about Chrissy and her relationship with the MC?

Of course! 🙏🏻 More details will be revealed with the demo but right off the bat I can say a couple of things about her character:

First of all, Chrissy is 15 (seven years younger than MC, who's 22). I don't think I've specified her age yet? But yeah she's just a kid.

Chrissy has built her walls so high up that regardless of the MC's personality, she can't physically bring herself to let her sibling in. She's honestly a very interesting character to write. Chrissy has completely detached herself from MC, her old friends, and everyone. It's not like she gets a hissy fit and claims that she hates you, no, but MC firmly believes that she does. Their own cognition of their sister is based on the fact that they no longer know her. At all (Chrissy has changed a lot in these past four years). Questions are answered by noncommittal shrugs and curt nods; she doesn't share anything about her thoughts, ideas, likes, and dislikes. MC can't know Chrissy because she won't allow them to.

You'll be able to take a peek at how she used to be vs how her disposition is in the present. But let's just say that, before MC's parents passed, she was a very sweet and lovely kid. She really cared about her family. There was nothing more important to her than MC and their parents.

There are two main outcomes to her relationship with the MC: either they reconcile or they don't. You don't have to feel forced to suck up to her and go out of your way to please her. Chrissy might be deeply hurt and traumatized after her parents died, yes, but the way she behaves towards MC is often irrational/unreasonable. You don't have to agree with her to get a satisfying and positive outcome to her story arc~

Honestly I don't know if it was Madoka that's made recent kids' shows darker (well, maybe it did for SU? idk). At first I thought it was more due to Gravity Falls and/or Adventure Time because I know those shows get really dark later on. Oddly enough even though there are shows I've seen that are much darker than Steven Universe for some reason it's only Steven that feels like Madoka again. Like sure with some other shows I'm like "oh holy crap thats fucked up" but with Steven?Straightup Madoka.

It's complicated, but I think I can give my 2 cents on the matter...

While MadoMagi did certainly contribuited to the popularization of Tragical Girls (Raising Project, Yuki Yuna, Magical Girl Site, Daybreak Illusion and SpecOps Asuka), it didn't got people thinking about how fucked up it is to rely on minors to do the dirty work and clean up the adults' messes.

I mean, nothing has changed; I still keep seeing children/teenagers getting into the most traumatic experiences ever. BNHA, JJK, and KnY, for example, are high-grossing shounen series with teenaged MCs witnessing the most horrendous shit ever, and actively have their joy and energy sucked right out of their bodies in the process.

As for Steven Universe, well, I wouldn't say it's "straight up Madoka", despite the similarities that they may share. At first, it was marketed as some spiritual successor to famous series such as Sailor Moon and DragonBall, having the strong potential of going down as one of the most memorable cartoons in TV history with its heroines with diverse body types and actual queer relationships...

...but the truth is way more complicated than that.

You see, Steven Universe is one of those series that didn't knew which demographic to be aimed at. It wanted to be child-friendly with SatAm-esque scenarios and a Monster-of-the-Day/Week routine, but it wanted to be serious and appeal to older audiences with the Gem War, the Diamond Authority, the Cluster, etc...

The staff was amateurish and black-and-white in their approach of nuanced themes, not to mention the irresponsibility and laziness with the amount of fillers and hiatuses. They have bitten more than they could chew, and all became one big neo-liberalistic mess in the end. Steven Universe was more worried about looking visually good than actually telling a good story.

Meanwhile Madoka just straight up lied to its audience. They have used the Magical Girl genre as bait to get a public to watch their anime. I mean, the title is written in a curvy and cutesy font...

And its main heroines are constantly marketed as a team and are always looking as if they were besties (emulating the likes of the Inner Senshi)...

...except that Homura was indifferent to anyone who wasn't Madoka, Mami was devoured right after her debut (and became the target of a 10 year joke that's no longer funny), Kyouko was territorial and aggressive to Sayaka on their first meeting (and both girls became shipping fodder despite having the worst first impression ever), Sayaka was treated like a guinea pig to show the audience how Witches were born, Madoka ascends to Nirvana and stops existing, and Homura becomes a test subject and attempts suicide and becomes a yandere when her plan fails.

Oh, and let's not forget the alternative timeline where Mami loses her composure and kills Kyouko after witnessing Sayaka become Oktavia, and is then killed by Madoka before she could do the same to Homura.

And when these girls are FINALLY seen working together, it's later revealed to be all a fabricated lie.

So much for friendship.

Anyways, so long story short: Steven Universe was highly ambitious in theory, but utterly incompetent in practice. Madoka Magica actively lied to the public with their façade of cuteness and frills. Even though they have their places in pop culture, we must also acknowledge that their executions were made in really bad taste.

Thank you for answering my ask and tbh, it takes me forever to process everything lol 😂 i was like, “I should’ve asked one at a time” HALAJAKAHAHA anyways, I was shocked knowing that they got married at a very young age! I thought they were 24 at least 😳 Now I understand why they didn’t consider having a child. (Freaking love the idea of how the two met I hope there can be a drabble about it hahaha OR PT 2 W/ FLASHBACKS 🤣)

but why do they end up marrying each other at a very young age? (SORRY I HAVE SO MUCH QUESTION PLS DO A PT2 HAHAHA lol just kidding… unless? HAJAHA)

I do agree that both of them need to see a mental health professional. I mean, MC’s POV is so much to take that sometimes, I also feel how anxious, terrified and traumatic she feels esp the scene where MC run away when jk found out that they got divorced bc I got goosebumps 🫣

Now I understand why jk doesn’t want a mental health professional. Tbh if I was in his situation, I might go crazy like literally bc I could never handle the situation he has like damn.

Sorry I got a lot of things to say but I freaking love TBV to the point that I haven’t started reading LIAG (bc im planning too hehe) pt.2 maybeeeee? JK HAHAHAHA unless…? LMAO LUV U

Hi!! Gotta love the subliminal requests for pt.2 😂

Therapy is great! Hardest part is to acknowledge you need it - anon, we would be in the same boat, I would def go crazy myself

From my personal experience, people that get into relationships young, tend to move through every step at a lighting speed. One of my closest friends got engaged within a year of knowing the guy, aaand she was 16/17 at the time? Now they are separated. So, yeah, insane, would not recommend.

But for TBV couple; JK was endeared since day 1 by our MC, within like 2 months all of their free-time was spent together. JK introduced her to the lavish life - first row in sold-out concerts, theatre plays all across the world with the fam, dinner parties with her favourite artists, and even the small things - getting collected from work, rather than using the public transportation; but on the other hand, MC showed him a side he was not accustomed to - drive-through cinemas, rave parties, watching football in pubs with her schoolmates.

If you spend that much time with someone, you get accustomed real quick, especially if it’s your first love. It wasn’t an over-thinker when he proposed, even less so when they got married. It just made sense. On the same note, he def introduced MC to his fams within a month; they were curious who’s the girl he’s sneaking out to, even more so when it took half an hour for him to say goodbyes after every theatre play. I imagine Jin teasing him the whole way back, and JK just proudly smiling, not denying anything.

Uuu, do tell how it goes when you read LIAG! Not sure if it will be your cup of tea, as it’s very different from TBV, and the first chapters are more or less for background building/character development. But along the way, it gets very serious, honestly the darkest story I’m writing by a long shot. But LIAG is a series, so it takes a while. And on the same note - I need to check myself and finally start writing the next chapter, TBV is living in my mind rent-free, and it’s about time it moves out 😭

But your requests might fulfil, and after LIAG a drabble might come 👀 but no promises!!!!!!!!

Collar x Malice - Aiji Yanagi Review

Includes Spoilers

So I gave up I really needed to meet Aiji and I knew I would never get to it at this point because Collar x Malice is such a dark game for me I can only handle it a little here and there and I'm at my there part so knew I couldn't sit through 2 more routes before Aiji but I will go back later and do theirs but I forwarded past them so I could unlock Aiji. Anyways welcome to my opinion of the sweet man every one knows as either Aiji or Yanagi which ever you want to address him as.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where do I start, well lets start here I heard so many people say he was like Dante from Piofiore now don't get me wrong he is has some characteristics like he is loyal and very much handles himself for the most part at treating you like a gentleman. However he struggles with not only his traumatic past but I don't think he thinks very highly of himself. He can't even figure out why you would love a man like him. He started off as a delinquent in high school to being a cop later to try to make admins to what he had done in his past. Now just because I don't feel like he is much like Dante don't let that full you one thing is time differences Dante is from the 1920's how they do things is way different. I am glad I did Aiji's story though he really is a beautiful man inside and out. Let me walk you down the sides of this man that make him so great. Let me tell you though he will draw you out to the end before you hear I love you. Thats where I missed Dante because once he knew he loved you he told you but Aiji struggles because he spent most of his life pushing everyone away so he has to learn how to let you in to love him.

He is so cute sometimes like he talks about how he takes care of things back at the office and everyone says he is like the dad of the group taking care of everyone. However the moment he is faced with a little girl who is lost from her mother clings to his leg this man froze up not knowing what to do with a kid. This is a man who could be a good father one day but got a long ways to go since he isn't used to being around kids. That being said if he is anything like how he is with you in the game and just needs to understand how you feel and how to connect and he becomes the best part of himself. The cutest thing was the little girl kept calling him uncle and when they walked her back to find her mother you get a glimpse of what they could look like one day married with kids. However damn Yanagi had to open his mouth and say they both looked like his little sisters in this moment, not long after though the MC makes the comment they must look like a family to anyone walking by. She stops herself realizing she was thinking about him as her husband. Of course Yanagi was so oblivious to this.

The story for him is pretty predictable because the prologue to him shows the MC as a little kid and the nightmares she has been haunted with cause she saw a monster killing a man in front of her. You find out the full story later when she was little she was kidnapped and Aiji was the one who saw her in the park so he followed. He tried to knock the guy out and take her but it ended up the guy beating the hell out of both of them. When he realized the man was going to kill them both he decided to kill him first. Downfall when the MC came to she saw Aiji beating the man as he screamed for his life. After Aiji tried to save her but she was scared to death of him after all that. He lived with that guilt his whole life and thought he didn't deserve to be near her or to have her forgiveness. You find out this how he recognized her the moment he saved her in the church in the beginning it was the same place where it all happened years before.

Honestly this is one of the things I loved about him the best because he may have been a teen delinquent but he saved her. One day when he tells the MC though she makes it clear she doesn't care about that she was just a scared little kid that saw things different however she was always thankful for that boy that saved her. This is what intertwines them together and honestly its beautiful because he was the one that saved her to even be there in his arms. It was like fate stepped in and even though Adonis was the ones that wants to torture them from the past the fact is he ended up there to be by her side again. He is a more serious type a guy in alot of ways but he has lived with this burden of hurting people so he just stays introverted away from everyone til the MC gets those walls down for him.

He isn't normally a blushy mess but ask him for pda in public like holding you and he will blush hard, and stumble his words don't get me wrong he will do it if it makes you happy. He just struggles doing something like that in person it takes alot even for him to start holding your hand but I honestly think Kei was the reason it was pushed because Kei had no problem taking your hand and once Aiji started to fall for you he wanted no other man to touch you. Its funny because Kei used to tease him about stealing his woman and all which really you got to see how Aiji changed over time. First he was irritated by Kei then it got to the point he would threaten Kei to the point you see he is very possessive and even tells the men that your his so back off. He still blushes if he is complimented because he doesn't know how to handle it but damn is he not adorable when he blushes... see for yourself.

This is what I'm talking bout the response that Aiji starts giving as Kei pushes his buttons. You have to know the scene though because he already admitted to knowing her heart was Aiji however I feel like he would jump on the chance to be with you if you had pulled away from Aiji thats just who Kei is. Sometimes Aiji needed that push though to make him comfortable with telling you how he felt so thanks to sweet Kei.

This cute moment when the MC wakes up from a night mare and Aiji is right there in her face. I love the banter she gives him after when she lays in the bed to sleep and she says it smells like him and she loves it and he starts coughing like man could not deal with that response knowing she was enjoying being close to him like that when they hadn't been yet. These are the moments when Aiji is freaking adorable.

How the MC grounds Aiji in the middle of a shootout was amazing and also the reason I think he was able to let go of the past and truly be hers in a different way. This was right after you find out he killed someone in the past and the MC tells him she knows who he is now and she needs him as a partner and I thinks its when they truly became insync. He tells her he is thankful for being partners and he believes you can take on anything together after this.

The first time he pulls you in for a hug then follows with a kiss was the sweetest most intimate things. By this point he has admitted every time she is so cute the more he loses his mind and can't control wanting to grab her and kiss her which he does. Its adorable this very serious man gets broke down by a woman doing cute little things that pulls at his heart. I think thats why the MC getting in his heart was so sweet and tender because it was when he least expected it. I love this scene because the MC had said she loved him before now but he hadn't replied but in this scene he admits it this was such a impactful moment in Aiji's life.

Now the moment after it all when he pushes you against the wall pressing up against you and kissing until your panting oh dear god I thought I was going to melt it was such a hot moment. I would have signed on for some more racy pics of him coming out of a shower or at least his shirt off. This moment showed his dominance and how he was struggling not to bed his woman every time she did cute things. Who knew this strong man, serious man would break the moment a woman did something he found cute he melted like butter. Even though he has a dominant streak he still pulls himself back knowing he never wants to make her uncomfortable with him but I think its hot knowing he has a animalistic side damn that freaking hot, boggles my mind this man exists...lol. Anyways just take my word for it scene is hot.

What can I say I really do love this mans character he is still my 2nd favorite in Collar x Malice, Kei is still my favorite but Aiji is a fast 2nd honestly. I do think his story is the most real feel to it though like to find out he has a traumatic past and he pushes people away until you. It progresses perfectly and never feels rushed. Its sweet when it needs to be and sexy in other parts. Also the other guys picking on him is too cute too especially Mineo and Kei.

The best ending is sweet it actually reminds me of the proposal you get with Dante in his good ending. No other Mc in this game is ready to take that leap into marriage but I think Aiji doesn't want games he wants to make the woman he loves his wife and wants to live with her as soon as he can. The proposal was sweet and he never gives like a full proposal speech but when you know him by this point you know this in itself was alot and the most vulnerable he has ever been and he did this as a late Christmas gift because things were hectic and he wanted to do it when things had calmed down. He even second guessed if you would like the ring cause its simple but he does love you and by this time he can tell you that and that he will be with you forever and always.

His bad endings of course ended in death of the MC or him but you never like saw them unlike in Kei's route you saw the death bleeding and all and it becomes more of a tear jerker. I didn't cry in Aiji's route per say well over thinking Kei was going to die because he pushed Aiji and the MC out of the way and saved their life then I had tears down my face. What can I say Kei has a place in my heart none of them else got to. However the tragic end is the MC kills Saike then loses her shit and runs away and he talks about in this scene he knows she needs him and he will search for him to find her because a world with out her in his he doesn't want.

Overall this man is so husbando material and is now on my list for sure. Its funny cause when you do his ending and its one of the bad endings it amazed me they even had a end where you side with Saike after he has killed all the other guys and although I don't want the other guys to die it was nice to see this side too cause I like Saike god I wish he was dateable. Damn why is so damn hot with blood on his face and dressed like that. Anyways only brought him into it since its in Aiji's route.

I also love how your able to fix the rift between the mc and the brother in this one. Its actually sweet how Kazuki worries about you and how irritated he is with seeing you all over Aiji lol. Thats the brother syndrome that no man is good enough but deep down I think he likes him, I know he likes his cooking.
