How about Benny in SAGAU? Like a continuation with Razor?? We do not talk about your growing found family 😤
Like, how would be his 'unluckiness'? Dya cancel it or you get pulled with his shenanigans? I feel like he might introduce you to his Dads no, we are still not going to talk about it 😤😤
A little scenario kept getting into my head when Benny applies Pyro and then Razor used his Electro and y'all got yer asses pounded on the ground 💀👌🏻and just taking care of each other's wounds 🥺🥺
You better be with him whenever he opens a chest so it wouldn't only spawn veggies, but decent weapon AND mora as well! You know, actual treasures, HOYO!!
BENNYYYYY ANOTHER ONE OF MY BOYSSS
This kid also arguably needs more parental supervision just bc of his sheer bad luck, poor kid
(i adore the headcanon that no matter the person's gender, he calls them dad lol)
Like,, hoyo cursed him and he's in a world with traps, monsters, fatui, MAGIC?? 💀 bro how is Benny still alive??!!
Tumblr media
(LOOK AT HOW CUTE THEY LOOK IN THIS GIF MY BOYS 🥺)
Okay but the fact that Benny calls so many ppl dad just proves his desire for parental/sibling affection 💔
Aight since u phrased this as a continuation of this post <3 RAZOR MY BOYYYY
That is what we shall do :) ! ! !
So ur running with the wolves still lol
Also ur symbol as the Creator reader is 🦄 or 🌈, bc ur gay and special, jk its bc elements i promise lol
Or even 😑 / 😶 for language reader shenanigans
EDIT 4/11/24: HELLA forgot to say theres a sorta Part 3, its more focused on Razor living, rather than Benny tho fair warning!
Lupical for life bro
U r chillin with the pack now
Razor now has a sweet new digs, fits, and now a crazy amount of power
Bc ur just that great 💅
You have officially moved on to purchasing some leftover amenities/new furniture etc. for him and you :D
And while u could get some stuff in Springvale, like lanterns and soap and perfume and whatnot
Ur still not rlly getting furniture like a bedframe or some storage space, like a nightstand, from them
Which u dont need bc u still got an inventory
...but Razor definitely needs to store all his goodies somewhere that isnt up a tree or buried in a hole 😃
Yes, u did have to tell him to stop doing that.
So yall (u and Razor) are in Mondstadt a lot these days, and ur routine consists of grinding domains, hunting for food, hanging with cute Lupical puppies, playing giant tic-tac-toe w/ Andrius bc poor guy is pretty bored these days etc.
So you figured you run into ppl eventually, afterall you'd already re-met Lisa :)
(who at first was kind of taken aback to Razor having made a random adult friend in the woods, but after vibe checking her , and her vibe checking you, yall were cool, tho she did start reading these new lore books you didnt recognize called "Immortal They Return: A Series of Prophesies", she avoided ur questions abt it too..)
It was inevitable that after introducing you to Lisa, he'd gotten all excited at seeing two familiar figures hanging around Kathryne one day
THE BANDS GETTING BACK TOGETHER, ITS-
Fischl and Bennett !! :D the cutest adventurers in all of Mondstadt ! (besides Klee)
The two take one look at you and Razor and coming running
..
...
....well mostly Fischl,
Bennett got his boot laces tangled together somehow? And is kinda hopping his way over
Immediately the electro vision royalty launches into their quintessential speech (they/them fischl SUPREMACY)
And as u get introduced,
U watch the pyro boy hop and trip over while trying to untie the laces
And just as he's about to go down, and ur debating reaching out and supporting the poor guy bc geez this looks sm worse in person-
Bennett has finally gotten his shoes untied!
Even he looks shocked 💀
And he like, apruptly stops falling over too?
And walks over with no issue??
Theres even a few out of place cobblestones in his path which he sees and moves to avoid
You dont know who looks more shocked and kinda scared you, him, or Fischl/Oz or Razor
Fischl and Razor have stopped talking bc it was more distracting Bennett didnt fall 😭
..
...yall all just kinda,, stand in a circle of silence (well fly in oz's case)
Staring at Bennett.
(Even Katheryne looks impressed😭)
After a couple of shook seconds, Fischl is nearly yelling about some kind of curse being lifted?? , Razor is like, sniffing Bennett's immediate area for sus scents, Bennett is kicking rocks to see if any of them hit him anymore, and poor Oz is trying to calm them down
(none of the rocks hit Bennett btw, or anything valuable around him)
So after that fiasco, u offer to take them around to the parts of Mondstadt they weren't allowed to go to w/o at least 1 adult :)
Theyre pumped and yall set off!
At first, Bennett hangs back, as Fischl and Razor throw themselves into monster battles yall encounter, as per what seems like a routine u assume bc of his bad luck
Eh, u figure while hes here, u might as well reveal u can make him stronger, u think he definitely needs the HP...
If there were any characters youd be worried about needing more power/HP in Mondstadt that u could level up besides Razor, itd be Bennett, hands down.
Between his adventuring, unnatural bad luck, and no parental supervision..
(even Klee seems better off than him, and shes like 7 💀)
Yeah, needless to say u were worried abt the guy
So he looks adorably fascinated <3, bc turns out they can see some of ur interface!
Mostly it looks like floating magical icons and that weird Teyvat language u saw in game, like that Abyss/ruins language u see all the time?
Bennett showed u his perspective in a sand drawing, hes actually pretty good at art wow
Razor couldnt rlly find the words to describe it before which is why u werent sure what they saw before now
And with that hes called into battle last by the others, mostly to apply pyro 🔥
and he fights at the edges to be further away from ppl u notice so he wont affect their luck..
aw Benny </3 :(
But as he draws his sword and ur getting ready trying to become a cheerleader for both Razor and Fischl but particularly Bennett,
He full on takes out 3 hilichurls at once 💀
...then with the dramatic down swing he does, he accidentally launches a rock right at the bigger hilichurl's foot..
...which trips him out of his axe swing...
...which makes it let go of the axe...
...which goes flying...
....breaks the last bit of the cryo abyss mage's shield bubble...
....
......
........and smacks it on the head too.
..fischl, oz, and razor halfway thru this insanity just like,, lower their weapons and stop to watch
Even the abyss mage is looking at Bennett surprised 😭😭
Congratulations!
Bro, an achievement pops up-
"Lucky Day!!!"
Its little description says, "As Teyvat's God, you give the unluckiest person in Teyvat the luckiest day ever!"
💀
Bennett just sits down on the ground.
(Same Benny because, this is where I lost it all, guys. All of that writing. Gone. Forever. I'm putting this here as both a gravestone for it, and a call out to tumblr. I'm not afraid of this website or its shitty admins, meet me in my dms for a real fight you fucks 🥊🥋🧍‍♂️you took what mattered to me, I'll take what matters to you, you god awful programmers. 🥲😐)
And it just keeps happening like that for the rest of the day you guys are together.
Every chest Benny opens are way higher quality than they should be
Especially for him.
(also u have gotten so comfy from before when u were playing Genshin that u r physically struggling not to call him Benny, so when u do accidentally call him that, u try to apologize politely, but he just talks about finally having a nickname so giddy that u just stick with Benny, what a cutie)
Common chests, Razor/Fischl gets what u expect, you personally maybe get a little extra materials and money,
But Benny?
He opens a common chest and suddenly it's a secret Precious chest
The pyro boy honestly looks a little afraid
You guys have a picnic later on for lunch together, partially bc Razor rlly wanted them to try ur food !! :D
Fischl and Benny were drooling over garlic salt, jesus- Teyvat's been deprived-
The blanket u used was a custom one u got made for Razor for his bday awhile back, all diff shades of purple and some silver wolf puppies and pawprints on it, 10/10 vv cute he loves it :)
(and also showed it off to his friends, Benny in particular looks smitten by it..)
Fischl eventually gets herded by Oz back to Mondstadt bc of their parents wanting them back by dinner,
So u Razor and Benny r left to wander around :]
As u guys explore and get chests and talk,
U all begin to gather ingredients for dinner (not that u dont have an inventory but the boys dont wanna cut into ur supplies, the sweethearts)
... Benny slowly starts to find and accumulate foodstuffs
Those Phileano? mushrooms (the white toasty looking ones that r always on roofs or windmills?)
He finds at eye level on nearly any building u come across.
Crabs?
Benny currently has his shirt turned into a basket trying to contain them, and more are flocking to him lol
Snap dragons? Calla lilies?? Even violetgrass, those purple horsetails, lotus heads, and a few qingqin from Liyue somehow make it into his bag 💀
The real question to ask at this point is, when wasn't Bennett lucky today??
(wow never thought youd hear that one)
So its a few weeks later, and Benny is like spending, every day with yall now lol
Ur getting dinner ready for u guys, and ur hopefully gonna make enough to leave leftovers for Lupical and Andrius,
So Razor has gone off to get some water to boil,
And Benny is climbing this huge tree to reach some eggs
And as he gets farther and farther up the tree away from you, he starts to slip more often 😬
Finally as he reaches the top, u realize after weeks without even a trip from him whenever hes around yall, why he wasnt unlucky-
...the closer he is to you, the luckier he is, and the farther Benny is-
He steps on a dead branch and it snaps :0 !!
Just as he falls, he screams and yells,
"DAD!!"
U push together some thick bushes and vines to catch him luckily
(lord knows u couldnt have caught him no matter how light he is, rip benny)
..Benny is okay, but he does go red in the face, and when u ask if he wants u to get one of his dads from the guild to check him over/make him feel better?
He says quickly "NO THANKS!"
Then Razor comes back like, "You call Lupical dad now?"
Benny: "What? No!"
You: "Do u see me as a, father figure, Bennett?"
Benny: "NO- more like I see u as a BOTHER figure bc ur always BOTHERING ME-"
Lol anyways jk
what a cutie tho,
(Ur Creator vibes made him feel vv at home in a way he hasnt felt before, so u got the honors early <3)
so ur a Dad™️ now (regardless of ur gender btw)
hope u like having a pack of puppies, a wolf spirit god, a wild wolf raised boy, and another wild but adventurer guild raised boy as ur family now 🤷‍♂️
Congratz U R THE FATHER LMAO
You may or may not have also gotten onto Benny for charging straight into battle at other times, bc hes so used to bad luck happening anyway, apparently its canon he will just run in???
(to the point Grand Master VARKAS commented on it??!!)
U were pissed, bonked his head and everything-
He looked sufficiently chastised, but when u originally found out Fischl and Razor were nearby,
And u just hear snickering behind u as u bop him
(U bop them later too for that lol)
Benny is also very good at treating injuries bc of this too apparantly,
So one time when you Razor and him were engaging with a couple hilichurls again on the way to Windrise,
Benny applied pyro, and bc u were standing father away than usual (there was an archer earlier u were dodging)
His bad luck crept in and when Razor went to charge up his wolf spirit electro ult-
...everyone went flying back.
...Including Benny and Razor 💀
You heard a really sick pop!
From Benny's shoulder :(
You quickly start pullin out the healing foods lol shove a fishstick in his mouth screaming IT HEALS like a crazed grandparent lmao
But Benny has already sighed and sat up, popping his arm back into place
🤢🤮
You^
While u do praise his healing??? skills,
U have found out thru him that apparently ur food also gives some pain killer effects
So u scold him and bop him on the head with some dango 🍡
For not waiting on u to help him lol
..
Which btw-
Any healing food u give him, he treats like the bandages many others give him, like Barbara, Katheryne, his guild dads, etc.
And holds onto them, rarely eating them
(Ur stuff preserves until needed bc its magical Creator powers surprise, surprise)
Benny feels like its a tangible piece of your care he can keep with him <3 sobs
"Well, since you're by my side, I guess I'm not that unlucky after all!"
proud of you son :')
Ok so youve been getting Razor and u furnishings right
And youve been asking him what he wants to add to the caves digs ! :]
(U made a more fortified "front door" to the cave entrance, its also not that deep of a cave so there r only like 3 other "rooms" besides the main entrance area)
U improved both of u guys beds (tho razor will crash urs if he has a nightmare)
Along with some new outfits for him!
And so he has requested some stuff, but as time goes on,
Slowly, Razor goes from telling Benny about what new thing u added or telling his friend abt what he wants for the cave/himself,
To asking Benny what he wants bc he stays over so often 😭
(Youve gotten Benny factored into ur finances now lol, u gave him new clothes, new gear, amenities, etc. It also helps him bc he doesnt rlly have a main caretaker, so if he needs money he has to take commissions, which can be dangerous to him alone bc if u dont know, Benny's Adventuring Team only has him as the single member of it, plus thats not good if he is too sick or too injured to work, so a 2nd source of lowkey income is good for him <3 )
U now have a coffee table as the dinner table (razor was used to sitting on the ground to eat so a high table felt weird to him)
And it has a few pillow chair thingys?
For you, Razor, Benny, and a guest aw 💘
Benny also originally wanted to help make smth for u guys as a house warming gift
but bc he would try to work on it away from ur influence, it would break everytime :(
Eventually u just coninvced the poor kid to help u pick out some nice rugs and stuff lol
He also has surprisingly good interior design tastes, huh, who knew?
(cough when benny stays over he usually stays in razors bed, but occasionally theyre both lonely had nightmares and ask to crash with u, i love these kids sm cough)
Recently youve been visiting Benny in town even w/o Razor sometimes (rare as it is lol)
Mostly bc it seems like he needs the attention too <3
U gotta make sure hes eating real food okay
U dont want him to end up like u in ur world where u ate snacks for dinner when u were his age...
And Benny gets super hype about it every time, hes grabbing u by the arm, hauling u around to talk to ppl etc.
(Did i mention ur one of the few or not at all ppl who he can freely hold onto no matter the weather/situation bc his bad luck doesnt happen to you?? Oh no??? Well there u go :)
Most notably, to talk to the other Guild Dads™️
They deadass lowkey postured at you for an hour at you before giving in bc u seemed to be the only good luck charm the kid's ever gotten in his entire life 😭
They also r rlly happy someone is able to bc of his rlly bad luck willing to look out for him when they cant :)
For his birthday, you guys all celebrated by doing a picnic again like when u first met them, and you made him a cake
Benny's face rlly said " :'D !! "
Later on, for presents, you got him a blanket matching Razor's !!
Shades of red, with some good luck symbols thruout to maybe make up for when ur not there, and puppies all over <3
And at the top, you yourself embroidered (attempted, so its kinda sloppy but still readable, its endearing you like to think)
"Benny's Adventure Team"
With your name, Razor, Fischl, and even Oz and Andrius lol, all embroidered (not by u bc u stabbed urself enough times making the title thx) as team members down below 👍
You also show him a copy of the book record Katheryne keeps of adventuring teams, telling him that you snuck into Mondstadt one day w/o him knowing and officially signed you guys together (the others agreed too ofc)
.
..
...
...Benny cried, straight up.
And just like held onto you for bascially the rest of the day ❤️
MY HEART FOR MY BOYS FOREVER
(you also may or may not have signed the corner with "love, dad" haha what)
I just want y'all to know.
I had like this whole thing ready to post.
Then tumblr decided it didn't like any of my writing, and deleted half of this post.
U probably saw the spot i marked where i lost it all :'/
I think it took an hour? Or at least 30 minutes to write.
Guess tumblr didn't like that I was adding so much in one go.
So now it's gone.
Doin smth ballsy bc in order to avoid that, ive just rewritten that lost half, and am just going to post it straight up rather than expecting it to save my draft 🥲
Those beautiful moments between Bennett and us, are gone forever. My memory isn't good enough to rewrite it all. ;-;
If you don't mind, I'll be crying somewhere over those lost Benny moments that I drafted on here and can no longer remember to add.
I guess that's tumblr's cruel way of telling me to go the extra mile and draft my bullshit on a literal Google Doc then come back here and deal with the formatting transition hell.
Thanks tumblr.
Appreciate the writing advice.
💔
(Fischl Voice) TIS I, WATERS OF THE SKY, IN THE NIGHT I SHINE UPON THEE, OH MOST HEAVENLY OF DIVINE BEINGS, FEAST YOUR EYES UPON MY OFFERINGS TO THINE BELOW!! COME ONE, COME ALL, FIND MY LABRYNTH'S RULES, AND REJOICE IF YE FIND THE TREASURE WITHIN!

"i thought you got possessed-" ft. luffy!
ft. luffy x fem!reader
set-up: you're pms-ing and he is such a dumbass. but that doesn't mean he isn't out here being the bestest boy ever. (please excuse his dumbassery, he was dropped on his head as a child)
warnings: none! very wholesome lol
Tumblr media
- please dont get confused, this man has no idea how periods work - like how is it humanly possible for you to bleed and then stay alive and kicking? seems made up tbh - one eventful evening (before you both started dating), you and nami had to sit him down and give him a long-ass biology lesson, explaining what the whole phenomenon is, what pms-ing is and yada-yada - before this, he firmly believed that every once a while a demon possessed you all (and he saw absolutely no issue with that, what a fucking icon) "ohhh" he's laughing, "so that's what it is? i thought you guys like got possessed" "excuse me?" nami's on the verge to hit him in the head again and you're wondering if the constant hits are the reason luffy's braincells are (half) dead "i see, i see. i get it now" - he lied, he still doesn't quite get it - but its fine - so, it is just another random tuesday and (post-dating) you know syou love luffy. but holy shit, if he yelled "YN DOLPHIN!! LOOK LOOK A DOLPHIN! SUGEEEEEE" and giggled again, you might yell at him. you really do love him but if he stole your food one more time, you're convinced you might smack him too. "luffy" your voice was unusually low, devoid of any warmth, "stop that." "whatt" he whined, grinning afterwards as he scooped up more food from your plate "luffy. i said STOP IT." your voice rose higher and silence hung uncomfortably over the dinner table - luffy just looks at you dumbfounded - the way you're fisting your hand on the table and looking at him has the crew afraid that youre gonna murder the captain in cold blood - well, i mean ur considering the possibility too, so, you mumble a half-ass apology and return back to your room to be alone - lying against the soft sheets, you can smell the citrus detergent and oh boy, now you feel guilty - i mean god, that's luffy, that was nothing out of the ordinary for him. why did you yell at him? fuck, are you a horrible girlfriend?? - oh boy, now the tears are welling up too - "yn?" luffy whispers as he slips into the room, closing the door behind him and now you're really crying - i mean look at him, why did you yell at him? - "im so sorry, i don't know why i yelled at you, that was so shitty of me-" "hey, it's okay" he's hugging you tight, "you did nothing wrong, i can be a little bit dumb sometimes. i should have not taken your food" "what? no, i am not mad about that. i, i dunno-" you sniff, "maybe i'm just pms-ing?" "huh??" - took a while for him to remember but now that you've jogged up his memory, he looks so guilty, so, he spends the entire evening apologizing and offering you food, he even promises that he wouldn't point out dolphins every time he sees them (you had to reassure him that he can continue doing that)
- but now onwards, this lovely himbo tries to keep in check what he's saying, often giving you a lingering look as if asking "this is fine right?"
- but now you've got your personal defender!! - ussop made a joke and you're not laughing (because it wasn't that funny tbh) and luffy is ready to smack ussop and tell him to "not annoy" you. zoro is being dumb and luffy can see it on your face that he's pissing you off lowkey, so, he will actually tell zoro to not be a dick - mf just starts picking up fights left and right for your sake and now you have to give him another long ass lesson to make it stop - ps: he does not stop. - this man turns into a chihuahua, anything bothering you must be struck down. - very, very observant from now on too. he needs to make sure you're feeling good - also asked sanji to make your favourite desert - he just loves you so much and wants you to be as comfortable as possible (still doesn't know how female anatomy works though-)
a/n: omg i luv him such a dumbass

Wittebros With A Wittesis Headcanons
Original headcanons
Ao3 version
Caleb:
• He loved his little sister very much. She meant the absolute world to him, and he would shower her with so much big brotherly affection.
• Caleb carved Wittesis a wooden doll, which she named Miss. No Name, as she was unable to come up with a more suitable name for her new play pal. Although Caleb was not a skilled seamster by any means, he and his sister managed to sew a little dress for Miss. No Name using the fabrics that they had at home.
• If the weather was pleasant and sunny and Caleb wasn't occupied with work, he and Wittesis would go outside and get permission from a local farm owner that Caleb knew to feed his flock of chickens. One time, a red cardinal came swooping down into the mix to get in on the sunflower seeds that were being tossed at the flock, which excited both siblings immensely.
• Planting a seed together in a flower pot, they each took turns watering and caring for the seedling, and watched it develop over time into a beautiful flower.
• Caleb was quite protective of Wittesis, but unlike his younger brother, he didn't go overboard with his protection.
• He was fond of setting a good example for his little sister.
• When Wittesis became a teenager, she served as an almost mother figure to Caleb, while the eldest had a tendency to behave as both her brother and father.
• One of Caleb's biggest regrets in life was leaving behind his sister in the human realm.
Philip:
• Like Caleb, Philip was also very loving of his little sister. Besides his older brother, she was his bestest, most closest companion.
• Middle child Philip Wittebane.
• His protective older brother instincts really kicked in as a child. Once, a big, old toad slowly walked up to Wittesis while she was playing alone outside, which caused her to get really scared as she shrieked for help. Philip, quickly rushing to her rescue, took a protective stance in front of Wittesis. Slipping on his mask, he pulled out his wooden sword and directed it at the beastly toad. The toad stopped and stood there, its eyes fixed on the weapon in its face with a blank expression. Turning around, it proceeds to slowly walk away. Once the toad was gone, Wittesis gave her Wittebro a big hug! He was a hero, her hero.
• They played a lot of typical children's games together as kids, such as "Tag" and "Hide-And-Seek".
• Philip taught her how to read and write, making him like a second teacher to her.
• Wittesis once wanted to bake a cake and asked Philip if he could assist her in doing so since she was far too little to bake on her own. So the two did, or at least tried to, and ended up making a massive mess in the kitchen that Caleb ends up cleaning once he arrives home.
• His protective older brother instincts grew tremendously when he became a teen. In Philip's eyes, boys were dangerous (except for him and Caleb, of course), especially boys who could be or were witches. If they were wise, they would refrain from going near his sister in his presence, or else.
• Getting back to his little sister was the main objective in his life. Before departing from the human realm, Philip made a promise to her that he would come back, but never did. Centuries later, despite knowing that she's likely not alive anymore, Philip still ponders on what his sister would think of him if she knew what he did to Caleb, along with his various other sins.

m-may I request hc’s for the bestest boy (loui)? 👁️👁️
*DON’T FEEL RUSHED OR FORCED TO ANSWER THI-[gets gunned down by marine corps]*
First of all, I am so sorry it took me this long to asnwer it! But yes you may! *[rushing with medic to save you]*
Okay so Louisiana...
Buddy got ADHD (almost wrote in french lmaooo) and is the mom friend. He'll know the second you try to lie to him (Flo doesnt even try anymore unless it's for *science*), always got some food on him and bandaid (come on his bestfriend is Florida, he's gotto be ready for anything), and is the most chill person alive.
He's the one you wanna have in a zombie apocalypse; he knows how to survive in his environnment (but is absolutely useless in the north) and can kill anything. He got his voodoo magic, can see ghost (like Kurt in The Umbrella Academy) and if you make him angry, that's the last thing you'll ever do.
Louisiana is kind, because he knows what it's like to not have someone kind to him, and sometime help balance Florida's chaos (i say sometime because most of the time he's the one encouraging him).
He can play any Jazz instrument but loves trumpet (btw why do we call him Louie and not Louis, like Louis Armstrong???), is a phenomenal cook and bartender, and loves to spook tourist who don't respect his state.
That's all i got for now, so yeah.

scribbles on your spine
Read this and its updates on Ao3! Updates will be semi-weekly~
The light of the moon shines right into the small of the alleyway and Vox whimpers. He stares at Alastor’s back, and the demon’s head twitches, turning back around. The bullet had hit him right straight through the eye, and blood is pouring out of the socket. There’s blood on his shining yellow teeth, and it’s dropping down his chin onto his shoulders and chest.
“Little fool,” Alastor croons in a deep, warbling voice, “do you want me to kill you?” | When promises were made, years and years apart, sometimes it's worth remembering what those promises were for. And when they dance again, in a hall full of light, they might just tear each other apart.
*
Vox is staring at the calendar as if it’s somehow going to solve the problem for him. February is fast approaching, and with it, Valentine’s Day. He’s not sure what to do. Are he and Alastor an item? They’ve kissed, sure, but they’ve done little else... well, what happened in the studio non-withstanding. Vox still blushes when he thinks about that. He’d like a repeat.
Regardless, he’s getting distracted. Valentine’s Day. What the fuck is he going to do – is he going to do anything? What if Alastor will do something? Fuck, if only one of them were a girl, then this wouldn’t be so complicated. But Alastor is a girl, right? He’s got all the girl skills. Vox isn’t actually sure what girl skills actually are, but Alastor for sure got them, right? Cooking, cleaning, sewing, that sort of shit. And! And he has gossip parties with Rosie, doesn’t he? So yeah. Alastor is the girl. While Vox is the man. With all the man skills. Like. Like, uh. He’s surely got some deeply buried, manly man skills. Yup. Absolutely. Vox the Man, at your service.
Fucking hell.
Back to the damn point!
Valentine’s Day.
What the fuck is he gonna do?
Does Alastor even want to be wined and dined? Not that Vox can even afford that shit. What about flowers? Chocolate? Does Alastor even like chocolate? Can deer eat chocolate? What if he doesn’t like it? Gods fucking damn it. He curls up in his bed and hugs his pillow tight.
Alastor likes singing, and he likes dancing. That at least Vox knows. So maybe a trip to the club? But that hardly feels appropriate for Valentine’s Day. And does Alastor even like going to clubs? He’s never mentioned going to any before. Vox groans into his bedding. This had been easier when he had been alive. He really had to pull the baddest bitch in town in Hell, didn’t he?
If at least the bad bitch were uncomplicated...!
“Gods, you’re my last hope, I beg of you!”
Yesterday, Vox had shyly asked Rodriguez for advice. He hadn’t specified who his paramour was but judging by the man’s more than tired look, he had known. He’d also said fuck you in nice, flowery words. And then the asshole had walked away. Rodriguez was the rudest, useless assholes Vox had the misfortunate to know. He had definitely not run after him in tears, begging him for help. Nope. He would never, he’s a man.
And right now, in front of him, are sitting Husk and Niffty. He’d been lucky to get them both at the house while Alastor had been away. Niffty is chugging her coffee like it’s a sport – she’s on cup five already – and Husk looks like he just got rumpled out of sleep, although the grumpy look is definitely a staple for him anyway.
“I find that hard to believe,” Husk says and looks at his coffee. He’s complained about not being able to get whiskey – they are at a café, for fuck’s sake, they don’t serve fucking alcohol also it’s bloody midday!
“You know him better than I. Husk, please, just tell me what I can get him for Valentine’s. We’re... together, or something. And – and he’s the girl, so I have to get him a gift, but I don’t even know if he likes chocolate!”
“No,” Husk answers instinctively. “Wait, Alastor’s the girl?”
“Alastor’s not a girl!” Niffty pipes up. “He’s the bestest bad boy I know! Hey! I need another coffee!”
“No, Niff, you don’t need more coffee. Anyway – no, Red doesn’t like chocolate. He’ll eat it, but he doesn’t like sweets. And, Vox, I – I don’t think he cares about Valentine’s. So, don’t stress about it? If you really wanna do something – shit, I dunno. Also, what the fuck you mean when you say Red’s the girl?”
Vox whimpers and lets his face fall onto the table. He doesn’t know what to do! Ugh, he’s a terrible boyfriend. Is he even a boyfriend? Gods, why is this so complicated? Getting married had been simpler than this shit. He’s lucky to not have hair, he surely would’ve turned grey already.
“What do I do,” he whimpers against the table, his one and only friend in this hellscape.
“Pay the fucking coffee bill,” Husk says and Vox slumps.
He needs friends that are useful.
Later that day, Vox sits on the low wall, staring off into space. Somewhere above him is a transmitter mast, and he can hear Alastor broadcasting. He’s not really listening to the words – it’s early afternoon, and that’s when Alastor is running most of his cooking advice or actual skits. Speaking of, maybe he could cook for Alastor...? Well, yeah, he could do that, if he never wants to see the demon ever again.
Most storefronts are decorated in pink hearts and whatever else is considered cute. So, the easy solution is out: no chocolate for the radio demon. What about flowers? Maybe some nice, red roses? But – that feels so basic. Alastor is special, and so Vox should do something special. But what? Okay, let’s think; what does Alastor like?
He likes radio. He likes blood. He likes murder. He likes carnage. He likes Vox – probably.
Vox pulls a face. That’s not exactly a list he can do much with. Sure, maybe he could try to buy him a radio, but – it’s likely Alastor would already have it, no? And sure, Vox could try and import stuff from the living world, but he doesn’t have enough money for that and the demon is severely allergic against things that are younger than he is.
Vox sighs and hugs his legs.
Even after all this time, it’s jarring how similar Hell is. They celebrate the same holidays as back topside, and money is still a ruler over everyone. If something can get exploited monetarily, then it will be. Vox doesn’t really mind, but it sure as fuck stresses him out. Maybe he should just buy the demon a card. Something like bee mine or something, but instead something with a deer pun. You’re deerest to me, or some corny shit like that. But that would hardly be special, wouldn’t it? Anyone could do that. Vox wants to be different. He wants to be special.
But – how?
“You’re kinda pathetic, you know?”
Vox blinks, and looks up to see Maggie standing there. Huh. He hadn’t really expected her.
“Leave me alone,” he murmurs and hugs his knees tighter. He wants to sulk.
“Roddie said you got Valentine’s problems. Why? Flowers ain’t good enough?”
“No!”
Maggie rolls her eyes and sits down next to him.
“Why not? Creepy fucker would like ‘em, no? I hear he’s tryna to be a gentleman, or somethin’. And why don’t you think he’s gonna get you something?”
Vox blushes. He’s really obvious, isn’t he? But well, how could he not? Alastor is everything, and he doesn’t quite understand why he’s alone in this – not that he minds, he really doesn’t want to share, and he’s afraid that in a straight-up battle he’d lose pathetically. So maybe nobody sharing his viewpoint is a good thing.
“I want it to be special. Only thing I could do that’s different is organise a murder fest, but how the fuck would I do that? Like, walk up to someone and be like Yo wanna get slaughtered by the radio demon as a Valentine’s present? Yeah, no.”
Maggie hums, and kicks her legs a little. It’s kind of nice, Vox supposes, that she stopped. She didn’t have to, but she did.
“If it were reversed,” she says then, “what would you hope for?”
Vox looks at her and thinks. If Alastor were to give him a gift for Valentine’s... honestly, he’d be happy with anything, as long as Alastor were the one giving it. But it’s different for him. Vox knows he’s more in love with the demon than the demon is in love with him; if Alastor is really in love with him at all. But he feels dumb saying that. And to Maggie, of all people, not that it matters much.
“I dunno,” he settles on, then, because he doesn’t want to leave her hanging. “Maybe something that shows he thought about it for more than a moment.”
Maggie nods, seemingly lost in thought a bit. “You know,” she continues, “if it were me, I think I’d want something that reminds me of him. You know? Like, I’d look at it years down the road, and I’d still remember who it’s from, even if we’re not together anymore. A nice memory, no matter what happens, you know? Something to prove that there had been someone, even if it’s no longer true.”
Befuddled, he looks at her. Huh, that’s actually kind of profound. Something that’ll always show you were there, once, even if you’re not any longer. Sure, Vox won’t ever leave Alastor’s side, but he likes the poetics behind the statement.
“Can’t you be this profound when we shoot our fucking movies?”
Maggie laughs, and punches him in the arm.
“I could be,” she chuckles, “if the scripts were good. See you later, Vox. Don’t think too hard, yeah? I’m sure it’ll be fine.”
She hops down the wall and saunters away. Vox looks after her for a bit, before he directs his gaze onto the pavement. What could he do, that is unique to him, that would remind Alastor of him for years to come?  He touches his face. He has an idea, but he doesn’t know if it’ll work. He could just try it. What’s the worst that could happen? But he needs help with it. He hopes Alastor is still out. He slides down the wall, and makes his way to his destination.
He’s lucky.
Alastor is still out.
“Yeah, I can do that,” Niffty says. “How big do you want it?”
“Not big,” Vox replies, “It just needs to fit something of this size into it, so it’ll need a zipper or something in the back.”
He shows Niffty with his fingers, and she gets paper to draw a line on it. “Is it okay if I need a week?”
He nods. “Yeah, sure, don’t worry about it. I need to make the thing first, anyhow. And thanks for helping me, Niffty. What can I give you in return?”
Niffty taps a finger against her chin, thinking hard. “Nothing! It’s for Alastor, so it’s okay. He always finds the best bugs for me, and lets me do my puppet shows. I like him a lot! And don’t worry, I won’t tell him. He usually doesn’t care what I do in my free time.”
Vox breathes a sigh of relief. That’s good to hear. He’ll still think of something to do for Niffty – he can’t really do his plan without her, after all. Maybe some energy drinks supply, or something. She seems to be finding bugs and bad boys on her own well enough – such an odd combination.
“My my, is that a bunny I spy?”
Vox doesn’t shriek, really, he doesn’t, when Alastor speaks up behind him. Fucking hell, he hadn’t heard the door open.
“H-hey, Allie,” he croaks like a frog and turns his head, looking at the demon over his shoulder. Behind him is Husk, holding grocery bags. It surprises Vox every time, seeing the demon be so domestic he goes and buys groceries like a regular motherfucker.
Husk drags himself in the direction of the kitchen, clearly thrilled with his current situation in life.
“I wasn’t aware you’d be visiting, dear. Will you be staying for dinner? I was told a new recipe I simply must try out.”
The demon swings his cane around and pats Niffty on the head absent-mindedly. He doesn’t even seem to notice and fuck, Vox is in love. He looks up at Alastor, smiling like the fool he is.
“Yeah, I’d like to. I’d really like to stay.”
I’d really like to stay forever.
Vox doesn’t really have much space in his home, but he makes do. In life, he’s liked to tinker a fair amount, so he’s feeling pretty confident. He’s got no idea if Alastor will actually like his gift, but – maybe in the end, the thought is what counts most. And boy, did Vox think about this. Even if this turns out to be a failure, he can always look back and say he’s tried his best. But it won’t. It won’t be a failure, it’ll be a huge success. Holding his trusty screwdriver in hand, Vox smiles.
He looks out the window. Dinner at Husk’ house had been an experience, and Vox is eager to repeat it.
“It tastes like garbage!”
“Now, you’re just saying that because I didn’t put the cheese in. You know how terrible you react to cheese, Husker! Vox, dear, what do you think?”
“Hey, that ain’t fair! Of course he’s gonna take your side! No, we need someone neutral and the only neutral party here is me, so I’m fucking right! Give me the cheese!”
“Bushwa! How in the hells are you neutral on this stance? I shall in fact eat all the cheese myself!”
“You won’t fucking dare!”
Yeah, it had been funny. And Vox hadn’t said it then, but yeah, cheese would’ve been better.
He laughs and presses his hands together in front of his chest. He loves the demon so. So, so much, he could explode. Gods, he wants to kiss him again. Again and again and again, until the end of time.
“Here you go. Is it okay?”
Vox takes it from Niffty’s hands and squeezes it. He smiles. “It’s perfect, Niffty, thank you. Allie didn’t see it?”
“Nuh-uh! I told you, he doesn’t care what I do in my free time! Are you giving it to him now?”
Vox shakes his head. He still has some time, and he’s unsure on where to give it to Alastor. Inviting him home feels weirdly intimate, and laden with expectations he’s unsure Alastor would be comfortable with. Not that Vox... wouldn’t want, but... he’s a considerate boyfriend, is all. Truly an angel, he is.
“Not yet. Don’t tell him, okay? I’ll do it on Valentine’s.”
Niffty smiles, posing adorably. “Okay,” she answers, “I hope everything goes well, TV man!”
She skips away and Vox holds the gift close. His heart is beating fast. He’s even picked the right song. Well, at least he hopes so. He’s gotta admit, he’s a little giddy. However, with the gift in hand, he’s rather not be caught by Alastor again – being in his house is excusable, but holding this thing? Yeah no, the demon might get curious and we can’t have that. So he starts hurrying home. Sure, he would like to see Alastor, but Valentine’s is soon.
Having arrived home, he gets to work. It’s not much left to do, but Vox takes great care in it. When he’s done, he tests it out – it would do no good if it would blow up into the demon’s face first thing he does. But it works. Sure, it’s not perfect, and it might not sound like the things you can buy, but – Vox made this himself (well, with Niffty’s help, but mostly himself!).
He hopes Alastor will like it. He really, really does.
The radio demon’s not cruel, is he?
It’s Valentine’s, and it’s early evening, almost still afternoon. Vox sits on the bench, nervous as hell – he’s wearing his good suit, one that he rarely ever puts on. Husk and Niffty had promised to get Alastor into the park at roughly this hour, and Vox needs to think of something to thank them with. He had considered wrapping his present, but he decided against it. He didn’t even put a bow on it, or anything. What if Alastor didn’t like cute, and would look at a bow with disdain? No, no, best to play it safe. Best option would probably be to toss that thing at Alastor’s head from a distance, yell something vaguely romantic and run for the fucking hills before the demon would even get what was going on at all.
“Oh! Are you the surprise Husker mumbled about?”
Vox’s breath hitches in his throat. Looking to the side, nervous as hell, he can see Alastor stroll over. He looks like he always does – of course he does, why would he look any different? Before the demon can reach the bench, Vox jumps to his feet, hiding his gift behind his back. He feels like a little boy.
“I – I, uh – yes, I am!”
Alastor stops two steps in front of him and tilts his head.
“Whatever are we meeting in the park for? You know where my house is. If you want to look at the roses, they’re best enjoyed around midday! They are also free to take, in case you wish to decorate.”
Vox takes a deep breath. Husk said that Alastor doesn’t care much about Valentine’s, so he’s probably unaware. That’s okay, Vox is hyper-aware for both of them.
“It’s Valentine’s Day!”
Alastor had turned his head towards the rosebushes, and now he looks back at Vox, blinking confused.
“It is? My, time sure does fly, does it not? I’m unsure as to what importance it is, though. Is it... your birthday?”
Bless his heart, he sounds truly confused. Vox can’t help but smile. He’d been so nervous these past few days, but standing here now, with Alastor, he can feel it all melt away, like it never even mattered. If Alastor won’t like his gifts – that would be okay. He’s here. He’s here. That’s all that matters.
“I have a gift for you,” he says, calm for the first time in days, “for Valentine’s.”
He holds his hands outward and Alastor blinks, taking it. In his claws, he holds a small plush TV that Niffty made. Curiously, the demon turns it. He looks at Vox then, clearly waiting for some more information.
“It’s, uh, it’s –“ Okay, now he’s nervous again. “Here, if you press it – try pressing it, gently.”
Blinking, confused but ever so cute, Alastor squeezes the little plush toy and then You’re Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile starts playing. Surprised, Alastor holds the plush closer, and his ears twitch – gods Vox wants to lick them.
“You like that song, right? I – Niffty helped me with sewing that toy –“
“I see,” the demon interrupts Vox’s attempts at rambling, and he turns the toy over. “How does it work?”
Eager, Vox steps forward and opens the plush TV. He points to the device he’s put in there – whenever the pressure point is pressed enough, the song starts playing, and it runs on battery, so it’s easily exchangeable.
“Do you – do you like it?”
Alastor hums, squeezing the toy again. Then he looks at his cane.
“I do,” he admits, “but I can play the song myself. Can you change the song the device plays?”
Vox deflates a little – he should’ve thought about that. Alastor is a radio host, after all, of course he would have access to all his favourite songs on demand. But hey, the thought still counts, doesn’t it?
“I – yes, I can,” damn his voice for sounding so detached, “what song would you like?”
Alastor looks at him, and smiles. “Yours.”
Vox blinks, confused. Huh? “Huh?”
“I can play any song I want with my microphone. What I can’t do,” he says, voice sultry sweet, “is have you sing it for me.”
Vox can’t breathe. Did he really – did he – for real? He – he hadn’t even thought about that. Vox isn’t a singer, not really, but – Alastor – he – he really – gods. Oh fuck, he’s so in love.
“You – you really want me to sing it?”
“Yes,” affirms Alastor, still smiling. “Whichever song you please, as long as you sing it. Can you do that?”
Vox wants to fuck him, he wants to kiss him, he wants to marry him.
“Yes,” Vox breathes and he takes the toy when Alastor hands it back. He can’t look away from the demon.
“Thank you for the gift,” the radio demon croons, “I look forward to receiving it.”
He brushes his fingers along Vox’s face, and Vox whimpers. He’s behaving like a fucking teenager, but he can’t fucking stop.
“Come,” Alastor says, unbothered, “let me invite you to drinks. A new bar has opened up, and I had planned to visit it with dear Husker sometime, but your company is much more pleasant! Come, come!”
Without waiting, he stalks on ahead and Vox only has time to stuff the toy into his bag before he runs after him.
The bar they go to is actually kind of fancy, not the usual garbage clubs Vox tends to visit. There’s even a stage, and a singer is performing. Well, at least Vox isn’t underdressed, even if these people aren’t his, well, people.
“Allie, I don’t think I fit in here. They’re all fancy and stuff.”
Vox presses against Alastor’s arm, his only shield against all the looks he surely must be getting.
“Bushwa! If they have a problem with you, they might dare and come to me. No, no, dear sheik, worry not your pretty square head. Come, let us try out the drinks. If they are bad, I mustn’t bring Husker here at all, ha!”
They wander over to the bar and Vox only really felt safe if he was physically pressed against the demon. Luckily, Alastor seems not to mind.
“Hello, my good man! Give us your best quilt, now will you?”
The barkeep just grunts, and complies.
“Shall we make it a competition, dear? Whoever of us can drink more?”
Vox pouts. “What do I get if I win?”
“So focused! If you win, love, then I might be persuaded to sleep in your bed tonight.”
“Get us all the drinks!”
Alastor laughs and Vox desperately tries to drink straight from the bottle. He can drink that twig under the table!
He, in fact, could not drink that twig under the table. Alastor is a fucking bottomless barrel. Like, seriously, where is storing all that alcohol? Vox can barely walk straight, and the only effect on Alastor seems to be a slight blushing of his cheeks. It’s fucking adorable, but that’s not the point!
“You should’ve said you can drink like you bein’ paid for it.”
Alastor laughs, a clear sound in the night. “I don’t recall you asking, darling. Never take a bet if you don’t know all the relevant factors. I’m win-orientated!” 
An asshole, is what he is. An asshole Vox is sadly madly in love with.
“So, what did you win, exactly?”
The demon gives him a side-eye, smirking only.
“Why, I won my right to sleep wherever I want tonight! Also, of course, I won you, didn’t I?”
Before Vox can fully comprehend that sentence – he is drunk, after all – Alastor pushes him against the wall and presses himself along Vox’s body. Vox’s breath hitches and he’s blushing, not just because of the alcohol. It’s dark, and Alastor is so pretty. Vox wants him. He just fucking wants him so much. He bites his lip, and stares into the red eyes before him.
He wants to – he loves him. He wants to say it, but he doesn’t dare. Why not? It’s Valentine’s. Now’s the day he should be able to say it. But something stops him. Vox whimpers and puts his hands on Alastor’s waist – it’s so tiny, so thin and Vox presses against the body before him.
“Cash,” Vox doesn’t beg, because he’s a man and men don’t beg. Alastor curls his lip in a snarling smile and reaches forward, slow, always too slow. Vox opens his mouth in advance, waiting, eagerly waiting and he smell Alastor’s rancid breath already when voices sound from the corner.
“You the radio demon?”
Oh, Vox hates them and wants them to die.
Alastor turns his head towards the voices, but he hardly removes himself from the position he’s in. His upper lip is curled in the grimace of a smile and he blinks slowly.
“So sorry, gents, I’m not on air at the moment. If you have song requests, please keep them to yourselves.”
“Nah, you fucker, we’re here to beat you up.”
Alastor sighs and rolls his eyes. “Really,” he grumbles, only to Vox, “can’t they tell I’m busy?”
That’s him! That’s Vox! Vox is busy!
But he does push away from the nice position they’ve been in and he fully turns to the sinners that have started coming closer.
“Let’s do this quickly, then. Seven against one! It’s not like I stand a chance. My, what a bind I’m in! Whatever shall I do, woe be upon me.”
He’s undermining his own words by focusing on the dirt under his fingernails. He’s so fucking silly, Vox loves him. However, the sinners seem to take courage from it, as they begin to advance more quickly. Sobering up faster than Vox ever thought to be possible, he pushes himself from the wall, ready to stand with the demon.
“Hush, my love. Don’t get in the way. Stand there and look pretty, will you?”
The sinners are close now, and Alastor snaps his head around with a loud crack. It echoes in the alleyway they’re in and Vox – he expects to see something like he saw at the gala, but he doesn’t. Instead, Alastor rushes forward, faster than Vox even knew was possible and he lands exactly in the middle of the intruders. With black hands and claws, he swipes through the air, ripping two people in half. Blood splatters onto the ground and the other five shriek in terror, and they separate.
Alastor grins wide, more smile than anything else, and there’s blood on his cheek. Without missing a beat, he jumps after another two, smashing their heads against the nearby wall. They burst open like ripe watermelons. One of the remaining three finally fumbles out his gun, and he aims at Alastor with shaking hands. Vox gasps when he hears the shot – Alastor’s head jerks, and Vox wants to scream already, but the demon just laughs, deep and full on static. His head cracks back up and Vox can hear the sinner mutter a very heart-felt “fuck” before Alastor jumps him too, chomping his teeth on his head, ripping it clear off. The two that are still alive have scrambled back to the entry of the alleyway and Alastor turns his head, with the head of their, their leader, still in his mouth.
“Running already? But I’m not even done yet! Come! Come beat me up, I’m all open!”
As if to prove his point, he throws his arms to the side, laughing. The ripped off head falls to the ground with a wet sound and the sinners scream, and they run away.
The light of the moon shines right into the small of the alleyway and Vox whimpers. He stares at Alastor’s back, and the demon’s head twitches, turning back around. The bullet had hit him right straight through the eye, and blood is pouring out of the socket. There’s blood on his shining yellow teeth, and it’s dropping down his chin onto his shoulders and chest.
Alastor turns around fully and starts stalking towards Vox – it’s only a handful of steps and Vox sinks to his knees. Alastor stops before him and he grins wide. With the moonlight behind him, he looks like he belongs exactly where he is. Vox presses his legs together, trying to get some friction. Slowly, Alastor bends over, never ever needing a spine and he grabs Vox’s face with bloody hands. He pulls Vox back up with him and slowly, too fast, slams him against the wall. There’s something fleshy moving in his eye socket and then Alastor presses himself up against Vox, kissing him. Needy, Vox whimpers and pawns at Alastor’s back, trying to press in closer. He can taste the sinner’s blood on Alastor’s tongue and he wants – he wants – it’s embarrassing, but oh gods, how he wants.
“I wanna fuck you,” he pants with hot breath against Alastor’s lips.
The demon growls in response and pushes his claws softly into Vox’s flesh. Vox’s hips buck forwards and he can’t help the wanton moan that escapes his throat.
“Hold onto me,” the demon rumbles in a low tone and he doesn’t need to say that twice. Desperate for his mouth again, Vox presses back in, kissing him again, wrapping his arms around the man’s shoulders, fisting his hands into his hair.
It’s dark, then, and something feels cold and wrong, and when Vox opens his eyes, they’re in his shoebox. How did they – what - but Alastor pushes him back, onto the bed behind him. Vox catches himself on his elbows and he stares up. Half of Alastor’s face is smeared in blood, his eye is still a bloody, fleshy mess, and he tears his bowtie off.
“Undress to your liking.”
Vox must black out for a moment, but when he comes back to himself, he starts tearing his clothes off. He’s not gonna ask, and he’s gonna take it. This wasn’t how Vox had suspected today to go. And still, he’s a little insecure, so – he leaves his underwear on. Shyly, he glances up at the demon – he’s gotten rid of his bowtie, his suit jacket and his shoes, apparently. Well, Vox never thought he’d get to see Alastor’s shirt this clearly, although it is a bit of a shame.
The demon climbs on top of Vox, and presses him into the mattress. “Little sheik,” he croons with a voice as smooth as silver, “displease me, and I’ll rip you apart. But, you would like that, wouldn’t you?”
Teasingly, he strokes a sharp, bloody claw along Vox’s throat and he whimpers. Yes. Yes, he would like that, actually. Alastor bends forward, and licks his tongue along Vox’s neck and he shivers. Instinctively, he spreads his legs and Alastor slots himself right in, as if he belongs there and gods – the things it does to Vox’s head. Sharp teeth tease at his Adam’s apple and he – he wants. He wants Alastor to push his teeth in, rip it out and swallow it down. Fuck, fuck, what in the hells is wrong with him?!
The demon sits back up again, still smiling. With his thumb, he wipes away some blood on his cheek and holds it close to Vox’s face – so close, and yet too far to lick it clean. Vox wants. He wants to lick it clean. The demon shuffles back and blindly, Vox follows. Alastor lets himself fall back onto the mattress, and Vox follows, hovering over him. He’s out of breath already.
Smiling like a cat, Alastor reaches his hand up, pushing his thumb into the corner of Vox’s mouth. But before he can properly start sucking and licking it, Alastor pulls him down and shoves his tongue between Vox’s teeth. He moans and shivers and he leans down, lets his body fall onto Alastor’s and he responds to the kiss with wild abandon. The demon’s dainty legs sling themselves around Vox’s hips and Vox could die right now and wouldn’t regret a thing. Well, maybe he wants to get off first, but that’s a secondary objective here.
Pulling his thumb out of his mouth, Alastor wraps his arms around Vox’s neck and pulls him impossibly closer. Vox rakes his fingers on his bedding, shredding his blanket but he doesn’t care. Heart beating up to his ears, he starts to grind forwards, fully expecting to be shoved off, to be slammed against the wall and threatened within an inch of his life and that wouldn’t be so bad either. But – Alastor doesn’t stop him. He simply shifts his legs a little and if Vox weren’t dead already, he’d surely die now.
Pushing the ball of his hand against Vox’s throat, Alastor temporarily interrupts their kiss to growl, deep and dark: “Do your worst.”
Then he pulls Vox back in, biting hard onto his tongue, and Vox rams his own claws into Alastor’s shoulders, holding him as close as he can as he starts rutting against him. He can feel the demon’s blood over his fingers and fuck, he’s getting high. His own blood pools in his mouth and he bites the demon back as good as he gets. In his mouth, their blood mixes and Vox can’t tell the taste apart anymore. He loves it. Fuck, he needs more, he needs everything.
“Allie,” he pants, desperate, “Allie, fuck, I need you, gods, I can’t –“
He starts rutting faster, and he’s expecting Alastor to stop him at any moment. But he doesn’t. He doesn’t, he doesn’t, he doesn’t.
Vox is different. He’s special, and only he gets this. Only him, only him, only him.
“Only me,” he growls, as deep as he can go, and he pushes his claws into Alastor’s throat. The demon looks up at him, with half-lidded eyes – eye, rather – and the tip of his tongue pokes out of his mouth. It’s full of blood. Vox breathes hard, tearing his claws down, leaving bloody streaks in his wake. Alastor doesn’t seem to mind and Vox roars, rutting faster, tearing his claws through the demon’s chest. He can feel Alastor’s claws scratch at the back of his neck and gods, he wants to. He wants them to kill each other in the bloodiest way.
Vox grunts and his thrusts become erratic. He’s so close, and Alastor’s legs are locked so tight around him. Gods, fuck, he doesn’t want to stop, how could he ever stop?
“Little fool,” Alastor croons in a deep, warbling voice, “do you want me to kill you?”
“Yes! Yes yes yes yes!” Vox shouts and he comes, smashing his lips against Alastor once again. The demon’s legs tighten around his hips and Vox is riding his high. Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck he wants more, he needs more, he needs it again.
Pulling away, because he needs to fucking breathe, he sinks down onto the man below him, and he breathes hard next to the demon’s face. He feels cold claws trail along his spine and he moans, closing his eyes. He swallows, his throat dry as fuck. He doesn’t know what the fuck just happened. But frankly; he kind of doesn’t care. This was – fuck, this was better than he could’ve ever fucking dreamed of.
“Wait,” he pants, “did you – ?”
“Shush, sheik. Don’t push your luck.”
Vox’s heart stops for probably a little too long, but it’s okay. Fuck. He’s never expected that Valentine’s could go like this, that – that it could feel like this.
��Your eye,” he starts.
“It will be fine. Give me two days, and why, you’ll never even know it was gone at all!”
Alastor pushes him away and sits up, looking only a little rumpled. He’s bloody all over. Vox whimpers. He wants him. He wants him more than is healthy, probably, but what is he to do? He’s so gone, he’s so far gone.
“Stay here tonight. Allie – please. Just sleep next to me. I won’t touch you, but – please.”
Alastor blinks at him. He seems to contemplate the idea.
“So needy,” he comments, but falls back all the same. “I suppose you can hold my hand.”
Vox smiles, and he does. Alastor’s hand are ice-cold, and there’s blood that’s just starting to dry on them, but it’s perfect. It’s perfect and Vox – Vox wants things to never change.
In the morning, the demon is gone.
There’s a note in his stead, though: Rest well, little fool.
Vox smiles, and keeps the note close.

I voted for Otto because while I do think Julius is the better boyfriend, Otto is the better friend no? At the very least my reasoning was that Otto has spent a year in proximity with Subaru collecting all sorts of small moments in addition to their bigger moments in arc 4, really forming the case for Otto to get the best friend title. Tho arc six really did make it hard to choose.
(for future reference this post is about this poll 👍)
HAH you raise really really good points yeah!! i honestly voted for julius as half a joke (arc 8 ch 24 to walk in the light was totally about otto being mad about juliemisuba if you squint. totally /lh) and absolutely if you took grown up subaru and told him to assign julius and otto as either boyfriend or best friend, julius would get the former (…..subarus attraction to julius is really really obvious HAHA) and otto would get the latter exactly for all the reasons you said as well yep!! ottos been living with subaru, ottos supporting subaru and their camp, etc etc hes been there more consistently, etc etc like otto is a very dedicated and loyal friend, but imo otto loses some points by arc 7-8 bc its the same dedication and loyalty that makes him shitty now :<<< mr otto “i walk in darkness” suwen, mr otto “im gonna not tell my friends about the tome or info that would save spicas life lol bc i want her dead” suwen, mr otto “its fine if 50 million people die” suwen :<<<<< at least julius is honest about wanting spica dead and he wont just let 50 million people die :<<<
but also you raise a good point bc otto IS a good friend in the sense that youll be alive as long as hes there bc he wont let you die. but will otto be alive by that point?? :<<<<<< will 50 million people still be alive????? will your previously problematic daughter figure be alive….??? a little debatable but hey hes dedicated ill give him that :<<< hes a good friend and he can definitely be kind and comforting and stuff but absolutely a questionable person BAHA and julius has got otto beat in the good person department LMAO. this is otto:
Tumblr media
:<<<<<<< ottos Devoted……. but definitely not GOOD i think HAH. if dude worked on his moral code he’d be the bestest friend ever :<< like no person is not without their flaws yknow? ottos flaws just allow him to think about KILLING PEOPLE FOR YOU LMAOO 😭😭 its why i chose julius :<< that and i think it was really really funny to choose julius bc its the canon answer (see: otto punching a wall over julius like ok you asshole you can have your gay breakdown over julius and juliemisuba :<<)
but anyway ty for the ask, loved hearing your thoughts on the boy drama poll pfft. i think its a really funny poll for sure (and the moral dilemma side of the boy drama is interesting yes)

Hades and Cerberus Thoughts
(Cross-posted with Reddit)
It's a running joke that the first thing Persephone does is greet Cerberus before she speaks to Hades. But it's also worth noting that Hades stops Zagreus after his victory to give a message to Persephone if he finds her ... that message being that 'Cerberus is doing very well'.
At first, this looks like more confirmation that Cerberus is Bestest Boi and perhaps a dig at Persephone being more concerned about the dog than her estranged husband.
But the true reason it's used is because Hades is deeply uncomfortable talking about his own emotions and feelings, and masks this behind talking about Cerebus, his beloved hound.
Hades struggles before talking to Zagreus and asking him to pass the message. Yes, he's just gotten his ass kicked by the God of Blood, but the way he hesitates to me shows that he really cannot articulate a message to Persephone that conveys all his emotions. All the regret, anger, shame, self-loathing, all the dread he feels because - if Zagreus DOES find her - she's going to get an absolute shock and discover that her stillborn son is very much alive. There's nothing he can say that can really explain all that, and he certainly doesn't want such a message brought to her by Zagreus, whom he doesn't trust with such important words. He doesn't trust the boy with the details of his own birth and why his mother left, he certainly wouldn't trust him with the deepest parts of his heart and feelings, especially not when Zagreus has been open about his bitterness towards his father. Though WE know Zagreus is Precious Beyond Measure, it's not unreasonable for Hades to fear that Zagreus would somehow twist any message given to her. So he goes with a seemingly disconnected message about the dog, to which Zagreus shows open confusion.
It's a message alright. It tells Persephone that there's a lot Hades has to say, but they are deeply personal, and he can't tell her through Zagreus.
Again, Persephone speaks to Cerberus before she speaks to Hades. But Hades speaks first out of the two of them; his voice is far softer than what we've heard so far, and he really hesitates. She can see this, and distracts by talking to Cerberus, giving Hades breathing room so he can say the words' I'm sorry' and really open up the dialogue.
Cerberus is precious to Hades. And he uses him as an emotional crutch and almost as a verbal, emotional avatar in order to talk about his feelings or distract from talking about them. He wears Cerberus' iconography, and his dog is also the lock that holds the most sensitive, vulnerable and precious parts of Hades' emotions and psyche.
Cerberus guards the gates of the Underworld. He also guards Hades' heart.

Danny Fenton Propaganda
The whole premise of the show is that he got zapped in his parent’s ghost portal and subsequently stuck between being alive and dead. He can die on command and come back any time
I would argue that Danny dying was very important to his character
Depending on how you look at it he either had a single very intense death that let him commit ghost crime or he dies & undies at least one time every single episode
lil ghost boy. lil double life vigilante. my bestest blorbo.
The entire plot of the show revolves around the fact that he died and came back wrong
I'm sure someone else has already nominated him, but I just wanted to make absolute sure he got a spot because he is peak
It's the entire premise of the show
I personally think that more shitty teens should die and come back. It's funny as hell
Well Danny Fenton, he was just 14. And one day his parents built a very strange machine. It was designed to view a world unseen. However, when it didn't quite work his folks they just quit. But then Danny took a look inside of it. There was a great big flash! Everything just changed! His molecules got all rearranged! When he first woke up, he realised that he had snow white hair! And glowing green eyes! He could walk through walls disappear and fly!

Oh my god. I just read the second half of Leona’s “monster story?”(not sure what it’s called,) but let me tell you it was/is amazing.
I love how Leona and reader interact,like how Leona starts of as demanding and is all “do this for me because I said so” while reader just goes “no” and slams a door IN HIS FACE! Brilliant absolutely brilliant.
I love how you wrote this! You can feel how Leona changes through his time spent with the reader.
He slowly comes around, starts helping without being asked and then when reader tries to call him out? He’s all “nah wasn’t me” while reader clearly knows that they didn’t have the time to fix the fence or that they wouldn’t have cut the (hedge/bush) so roughly.
And in comes ace to speed things along.(btw super smooth introduction, you did great) suddenly reader friend is here and Leona is jealous? I’m not sure, but I love how he’s so protective? Possessive? Of reader and the friendship? He’s built with them.
I want to say more but I don’t know how to but it into words just know that you’re AMAZING!
I love your story❤️ bye.
Tumblr media
Ahhh my poor heart~ It genuinely always makes me so happy to hear how much this little ramblings of mine can make people happy 💚
But yes—our bestest Tsundere Boi is slowly learning how to care about other people. What a time to be alive

I have a drawing of Leyline Diluc i wanna share Soo bad but alas i have to do WORK later so I'm gonna dump my insane rambles as an anon
Asmoday! Diluc I'm never forgetting this guy. Theyve been eating my brain for DAYS now
Caribert and the whole thing oh god
Omg imagine Caribert was revived and is just seeing Kaeya, probably either his kid or his descendant, hanging out with Asmoday!Diluc, and they are training together on how Kaeya with his cryomancy and sword can coverup Diluc's weakspots when he's slinging them guns and claymore around as a bonding activity
how'd he probably react?? probably horrified lol
Have an even better thought!! Asmoday is part of the hexenzirkel but currently she's missing bc she's getting disciplined by Celestia. However, just in case she gets caught again she told her fellow witches that
"If ever I disappear, do not fear, for as long as the moon shines it means i am alive."
Because like apperantly 2 moon sisters are either dead or off somewhere else
and one is still in the sky of tevyat.
Also APPERANTLY ONE OF THEM FELL IN SUMERU AND GAVE UP HER LIFE FOR KING DESHRET, ONE OF HER BESTEST FRIENDS, TO LET HIM ATTAIN FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE
So it's absolutely POSSIBLE that Asmoday could've fallen and lived in Tevyat after ripping out the core that controlled her.
And the Djinn... Oh boy... I wonder if Asmoday has a similar ability to make something similar..
Also just something, Paimon isn't that scared of the archons, even someone like Baal. But she's scared of and extremely polite to Diluc.
I wonder why is that? Compared to God's she only cowers when riches and food are involved, but with Diluc he just says things in a stern voice and she's already "On it M-master Diluc!" i think she even confides in the traveller that she's scared of him but not the reason why.
I don't remember if she's that scared of someone like Ayato tho, i don't even think she's that scared of Childe, she's scared of the Harbinger Tartaglia but not Ajax
But she's scared of Diluc and he hasn't given her any reason to be scared(I think)
Also Waaa I miss dadsleif... we need to bring it back
Dain coming around Mondstadt more to look over his grandkids, Bennett, Barbara, Fischl and Razor and maybe even Diona! Klee and Albedo by extension as his technical niece and nephew mayhaps due to Diluc's connection with Alice
Oh my god imagine Dain getting drunk at Angel's share rambling to himself about the gods and slandering them and Venti is like "Cheers to that brother"
OH MY GOD IMAGINE DILUVEN IN DADSLEIF SCENARIO LMAOO
Dainsleif and Diluc are casually slandering Barbatos but Venti comes in and kisses Diluc before they banter about wine, causing a very confused Dainsleif
But ouGH... Dadsleif and his grandkids... Dain protecting Bennett the best he can from his bad luck and even saving the poor kid... Imagine Dain finds out that Bennett got his vision when he nearly died i think he'd actually kill everyone on Celestia
Dain entertaining Fischl by playing along with her fantasy... and even understanding her bc he was a royal knight. He's a bit rusty but given time he can understand her completely
Dain doesn't get to see Razor much bc of Andrius at the start but maybe he helps deal with the Rifthound problem and gets the trust and mayhaps even help Diluc in teaching Razor some techniques or maybe they just camp in the wild together...
Then Barbara. Imagine being just some guy and then seeing This fancy and scary guy in blacks and blues with blond hairs and starry blue eyes shaking those concert glowsticks at Barbara's concert looking serious n all.
Wait IMAGINE ITS AN INSIDE JOKE THAT BC DAIN AND BARBARA ARE BOTH BLONDE BUT DIFF SHADES AND HAVE BLUE EYES THAT THEY'RE THE MOST RELATED LMAOO
Oughh imagining Dainsleif teaching them or singing to them Lullabies from Kheanriah and Barbara memorizing it and singing it back to Dainsleif whenever she's healing him to help calm him down
I imagine that bc Kheanriah was underground, i think they would've had a culture of singing bc of the echo effect there would be. So mayhaps from Dain's memory he would teach Barbara some songs of Kheanriah and he tears up at the fact he's teaching his new family how to sing his homeland's songs and maybe just maybe even if he disappears maybe he can live on in the songs they bring with them given by him...
Just WAA... Grandadsleif REAL!!!
-Leyline!Anon who is NOT being normal about Dadsleif rn
Tumblr media
Oh boy, you really made me bust out my tts to read all that. and giving me a load of work with the tags.
I'll be honest the last quest did not have enough Dain. Like I'm not the biggest Dain fan but serious about his once-a-year appearance. We did not get enough. And what's funny about shipping Diluc with an Archon I feel Dain could at least learn to like Venti a little bit.
But Zhongluc? Morax?
That ship is 10 times funnier to me with Dadleif.
Also, he'd call an archon with Diluc a cradle robber, I'm just saying.

🔪Choose Violence🔪
7, 8, 12!
Choose Violence Ask Game
Moreeee!! Eee!! Well fed on asks tonightttt!!! Thankee!!
7: what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how the fandom acts about them? Ok. Two answers to this question. Both I dunno if I'd go as strong as *hate* but definitely *dislike*. First was Neloth. For aaaaages I was just neutral on him. Then seeing how feral folks got for him made that neutrality sour a little to dislike. But then, researching and writing him in Lost Things Found (even if he's barely in it... so far) has really made me come around to that old man. Not a fav, but I still actually like him now. Development!!
The other one is Miraak. So, like. I'm already pretty blegh on Miraak. Not because of him as a character, but how, by them making him 'actually no, this guy was the super secret first dragonborn' really really really takes away from and wounds Alessia's story and I am nothing if not an Alessia fan girl. BUT... then having him thrown in my face so much? It's embittered that blegh to mild dislike. Mild, but yea.
8: common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about Oh gosh! Few of these!! Unfortunately many have already been mentioned in previous posts. That khajiit cannot interbreed with other tamrielic races, that mehrunes dagon is boring/budget satan/just the destruction dude, that serana isn't that great actually... but. Ok. New things!! Hmmmm... honestly this one is a struggle because for the most part the TES fandom has such varied opinions and takes and stuff that it doesn't reach the point of broad consensus. I think I'm gonna twist the question a little to not that people are necessarily *wrong* about it, but that they do fail to consider all the aspects of a thing; the Thalmor.
So, like, ok. First off setting aside the 'they want to end the world' idea that is so popular because there isn't a ton of actual in-game evidence to support that. And I've talked about in game vs out of game lore in a previous ask and my thoughts on it (tl;dr, out of game lore should be supporting to an argument, not the basis of it). They are also unquestionably evil bastards for what they do to their own people and others. BUT... I honestly understand, resonate with, and sorta agree on their thoughts on Talos. This post is getting long so I won't get carried away but basically Talos was an unbridled mega-asshole. An absolute monster. And for high elves, who can live about five hundred years unaided by magic, that was only a generation ago, or even still in living memory for some. There must be high elves alive who FIRST HAND experienced the warcrime machine that is Tiber. Or heard about it and saw the scars it had left on their parents. And then... then people worship them as a god? Set aside all the evil they did and exalt them? Yea I get the pain. I really do.
12: the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them MY BESTEST BOY MEHRUNES DAGON!!!! Ok, but I talked about that in a previous post. Aside from them honestly a hard one. All the broadly unpopular characters I can think of are assholes sooo... hmmm. Difficult one. May come back to this if I think of something.

Lost Characters and The Final Fantasy 14 Class They Would Play
I made this a year ago for my discord group of friends after binging LOST, I'm sorry enjoy:
Because my Briancell doesn't want to work at work, it's wandered over to What classes would the crew in LOST play? Buckle up y'all!
Tumblr media
Jack Sheppard- Would play White Mage or Sage, at least on introduction to him. He's gonna save you and keep you alive damn it! But on head butting with Sawyer it's revealed he's actually, like Sawyer, a Gunbreaker main. Because they're both gonna save people by superboliding. 🤦 Jack also plays black mage and absolutely will not move.
THE REST UNDER THE CUT
Tumblr media
James Sawyer Ford - Sawyer a secret main Gunbreaker, but introduces himself as a Machinst main. Has some Dark Knight sorta leveled, and some melee DPS classes he fucks around on. Claims he's unreliable to raid with but is a damn liar and is always on time and there for raid night. Ends up promoted in the Free Company no matter what.
Tumblr media
Kate is a Dragoon/ Machinist main. Has some Sam in there too. Tries to add some healing with Red Mage later to try to help out and be motherly but only heals her fav sprouts.
Tumblr media
Hurley is unironically an amazing Scholar/ Astro. Does well as Summoner and Red Mage as well. The guy who got promoted in the Free Company while he wasn't paying attention because he was busy answering sprout questions and running stuff with them. Actually a rich millionaire in game because people and Squareenix keep giving him money. Won the cacpot every time he entered. His actual favorite class and thing to pass time is hanging out with Charlie and whoever else all running Blue Mage. And yes he is the reason Blue Mage is held back because it breaks all balancing.
Tumblr media
John Locke - my boy. My guy. The worst paladin you've ever seen. Does better as a warrior, but is actually despite him trying to remake himself, a good bestest Bard. Maxed out all crafting tho. Literally got sucked into a cult in game and scammed out of gil multiple times. Still helps out sprouts and friends tho. Somehow always involved with drama.
Tumblr media
One of the top 5 Ninja on your data center. Also a great Reaper even though he hates it. Wants to be a bard but John and other people always make him come as his melee classes. "I want to heal! 😾 " "Sorry Sayid we have *one of like 6 healer mains* coming".
Tumblr media
Jin. Speaks only Korean and doing his best to switch to the English client but when he was on the Korean data centers he started off Paladin. Now he's a maxed Monk and will destroy the enemy. Has a very great grasp on all the classes but the language barrier prevents him from helping as many sprouts as he'd like. Just picked up Warrior and he loves it.
Tumblr media
Sun and Jin are married both in game and IRL and it was the cutest biggest wedding on the server. She's a White Mage main when she plays with Jin but is actually from back on the Korean server one of the top 5 best black mages in the world (run for your life Yoshida-san). She instead devotes her time to gather mats and controls the server market boards. 💵💶💷💴💹🏦
Tumblr media
Claire is a Dark Knight / Warrior main. Began her journey as a Dragoon but here we are. Always turn down her mic if you run things with her because she yells while she tanks.
Tumblr media
Charlie - Plays only Driveshaft songs as a Bard. Hates that you'd assume he'd ONLY main Bard because he's a celebrity singer. But he do. Also plays Reaper, Red Mage, Sam, and some Dark Knight to bond with Claire. Tries to level White Mage but those runs take an hour because he's always distracted. Makes the best jokes on raid nights. Hurley and Charlie are the resident Blue Mage experts for whatever reason.
Tumblr media
Desmond - Has crafting leveled but is a Red Mage main. Has at least one of every class type leveled because he's been a shut in for too long. At one point never logged off the game unless the server was down. Will help any way he can and does his best as a healer or tank to keep Charlie specifically alive.
Tumblr media
Boone - Great paladin and does his best to help John who isn't very good at listening. Alts Red Mage and Summoner. Also rich from selling run throughs and manipulating the market board. May have gotten into a war with Sun Kwon over certain item prices - they worked it out though.
Tumblr media
Forced into the Dancer role but excellent it. Alts Samurai, Dragoon. Has a whole harem of followers and is actually an RP leader in the community and owns 4 houses- 2 of them large PLUS in control of a FC house. Glamour is the real endgame of course and hosts glamour giveaways and contests.
Tumblr media
Mr Eko is always in character as a RP Ishgardian priest who fights hersery (don't ask he'll just give you cryptic quotes). Party's with John and Charlie a lot and is a Astro/ Monk main. Alts include all the healer classes, and Warrior.
Tumblr media
Anna Lucia is your resident paranoid Dark Knight, Gunbreaker who thinks she'll be replaced by the next tank who walks past her on the raid team. Alts include MCH and Sam but you'll have to pry tanking out of her hands. She's actually a great Big Sister type of player as long as you follow her instructions!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bernard is the angriest and sweetest healer (he's maxed all 4 healer classes idk when it happened) you'll ever meet in game. How can he be both? Healer life. Rose is also a skilled Astro but prefers to run as a Bard or Red Mage or Summoner. They spend their free time arguing about decor in their Med House they managed to buy. The rest of the time with Island Sanctuaries.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Michael is a Mch and Reaper main. Walt is a Scholar, Red Mage, Summoner main. Michael will definitely be involved in some FC drama disbandment multiple times unfortunately as much as he tries to avoid it. They start the game together to try and bond. Things get much better for them when they find their final free company of found family.
Tumblr media
Ben my scrimbo my love. Ben has a god complex so he mains Scholar/Sage/White Mage and will maybe heal you but mainly use you to get his gil and clears. He's actually a great MCH and Red Mage but hates not being needed so healer it be. Actually has a bunch of drama IRL with his family and struggles to be a good dad so we get the sad toxic healer asshole who's linked to Michael's FC drama and some other disbandments. Online too much and should go touch grass. He's on many a block list and has too many alts to stir shit up. Trolled by 13 years a lot.
Tumblr media
Juliet - Hates Ben and in spite joined the rival FC. A great all arounder, takes commissions to write fanfics. Mains include White Mage, Bard/Mch, Summoner, Black Mage, and Gunbreaker. Would rather create and host community events than run content.
Tumblr media
Richard is an original FF14 1.0 player. All classes max leveled. He's been working on crafting for forever. Tired of trolling in the data center and just wants to chill out. Happy to run whatever with you. Bard main right now but will play whatever you need. Has too much money, has too many rets, and runs a very successful RP bar.
Tumblr media
You don't fucking understand Black Mage and Monk like this man. Spreadsheets and calculations constantly updated in The Balance by this man. Can't remember mechanics in the raid beforehand but he knows what your BIS and pots need to be. Pentamelding, min/max. All of it. Loves high end raiding and arguing with peeps over how they don't actually know the numbers behind the classes you pleeb. Also needs to touch grass.
Tumblr media
Charlotte - Monke stronk. Very good at Reaper as well. Doesn't care just here for a good time, friends, housing and glamours.
Tumblr media
Miles - Ninja/Mch main, but alts include Astro, Summoner, Warrior. Logs in to troll and joke around but is a good boi when running content. Will distract you by causing laughter.
Tumblr media
Frank will give you an Aladdin whole ass tour of Eorzea. Has all the multi person mounts. Summoner, Red Mage, Mch main. Has fun by visiting RP bars or gardening in his down time. Usually has bags full to give to a young sprout in whichever city a fun item.
If you've made it to end CONGRATULATIONS! and I apologize for my insanity. 🙈

Reasons why I think it’s INTERESTING and not TOASTLIKE that Sizhui is a kind, polite, loving young man:
-His brain must be Swiss fucking CHEESE from all the trauma he went through before the age of 3 (“kids are resilient” my ass, going through trauma when you’re that tiny is terrible for your development, even if you don’t remember it)
-The fact that he ended up a perfect little Lan when he’s the last surviving Wen is so bittersweet
-It is fucking astonishing that Lan Wangji managed to raise a child who was loving and polite and helpful and approachable and emotionally open, and it says so many fascinating things about what their relationship must have been like all these years and the kind of person Wangji has become. To lightly paraphrase one of my favorite fics that I will absolutely link to later when I have time to look for it, “You don’t get a kid like Sizhui without giving him lots of hugs.” You absolutely know Wangji was a very loving and emotionally demonstrative father figure and that’s…kinda shocking!
-Basically the first thing we learn about Sizhui in the very first episode is that he and Jingyi are bestest best friends, a matched set who instinctively turn and look at each other when weird shit happens. Don’t you think that’s pretty interesting, that Sizhui’s best friend is a kid like Jingyi? Don’t you think that conveys that Sizhui is more than meets the eye?
-Does it not taste sweet on your tongue that 18-year-old Sizhui doesn’t have to be like the previous generation, who were all a hastily cobbled-together mess of coping mechanisms at that age to cope with the horrible things they’d personally seen and been through and done, were all WAR VETERANS at that age? Don’t you think it’s NICE? Don’t you think that might be KIND OF THE POINT?
-Don’t you find it darkly funny that the last living member of a clan who was wiped off the face of the earth because everyone else decided they were universally all too treacherous and bloodthirsty to allow to survive is so immediately and obviously Not that?
-DON’T YOU THINK IT’S NICE THAT IN HIS GRIEF, LAN WANGJI POURED HIMSELF INTO RAISING SIZHUI AS HIS FINAL ONGOING ACT OF LOVE FOR WEI WUXIAN, AND THAT HE DID A GREAT FUCKING JOB? DON’T YOU THINK IT’S FUCKING NICE THAT WEI WUXIAN COMES BACK TO FIND THAT THE LITTLE BOY HE THOUGHT WAS DEAD IS NOT ONLY ALIVE BUT HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF?
-DON’T YOU THINK SIZHUI DESERVES A WIN? AFTER ALL THE SHIT HE’S BEEN THROUGH?
-AAAAAAOOOOOOUUUUGHHHHHH

♪♪♪ for niffty!!
For every ♪ in my inbox I'll post a song I listen to for character inspiration. || Accepting
Tumblr media
Labour - Paris Paloma
'The capillaries in my eyes are bursting, if our love died would that be the worst thing? For somebody that I thought was my saviour, you sure make me do a whole lot of labour. The callous skin on my hands is cracking, if our love ends would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber. You make me do too much labour.' This one is more for Niff in life, but it feels absolutely like the build up to where she eventually snaps, that weight of doing everything that is expected of her - never being allowed to indulge her own wants and interests because of their morbidity or how peverse they may be. That coupled with her intense OCD, that such a thing would've been necessary to hide in her time lest she be seen as crazy, I imagine it was too much for her to handle. Hopefully that makes some sense.
Circus - Lindsay Mendez
'Surely you could understand. Haven't you been in love on the edge, where there's no turning back? Just the thought of it can take you to some new dimension. So you do what you can just to get his attention. It drives you to boil, right up 'til you spill. It could drive you to bliss.. It could drive you to kill. Sometimes I feel like I'm living in a circus. Clown with a tear in a tent that isn't working. All work no play, day after day, 'til I have a life in my hands. Good evening gents, step right up into my circus. I'm the ringmaster and this is where the work is. Goodbye, you're done, do as he does, to lead him right into my heart..' I imagine early into their connection Niffty was constantly trying to get Alastor's attention, especially with her love of 'bad boys'. It would have been desperation to impress him, to recieve some sort of attention from a man who so rarely offers it. Obviously that changed with time, she came to actually care for him as much as her unhinged brain might do so and he certainly cares for her much the same.
Breakfast - Dove Cameron
'I eat boys like you for breakfast. One by one hung on my necklace. And they'll always be mine, it makes me feel alive. I eat boys like you for breakfast, and I know that you tried your bestest. I never said it's right but I'm gonna keep doing it.' A more fun one based on Niff as she is in the show, the bad boy obsessed man-eater of a creature she is- and she's wholly proud of that fact.

rodrick heffley: he/they, bisexual, cis (?) acts like he doesn’t care about labels but internally he’s a NEED LABEL NOW OR DIE sort of guy. he feels pretty settled in his identity though but he did have a gender crisis that mainly just simmers on the back burner now. probably wears skirts sometimes when he’s in the mood, his aesthetic is Aggressively Band Emo- ripped jeans and dumb shit joke tshirts are his vibe. chains? yeah, better stock up bitch. belts? you bet. he loves painting his nails (black) and he also paints greg’s (blue) (and rowley’s [pink], and ben’s [yellow and red, which rodrick said looked like ketchup and mustard. ben stuck his tongue out at him, but he was right], and it becomes a whole damn thing that he complains about but actually enjoys a lot). he’s the one who realises that his lil bro is actually an Egg and donates many skirts and some money to the cause of cracking him. his skirts really aren’t greg’s style though but greg doesn’t want to hurt his feelings (they also dont really fit, but rodrick insists that “safety pins are hot, trust me”. greg does not.) he probably has dyslexia and adhd, undiagnosed, is attempting to raw dog life. it’s not going the best. he’s the epitome of angry angsty songs filled with self hatred and yet also hatred of everyone else so just hatred in general, but then they’re also quiet and calm and pretty, and then EXPLOSION and chaos, it really depends on like the positioning of the moon and pluto and whether walmart’s open for fucks sake he’s so random, and then when someone listens to the song he just “oh haha im just being dramatic dw dw” and then cries. he’s very much the sort of person to bluff about how great he thinks he is and how he’s not scared of his parents knowing about various things he’s actually terrified of mentioning (although susan would accept him literally no matter what, and frank may take some time but he’d eventually come around with some Gentle Pressure from his wife [read: threats that he needs to love his kids no matter what or she’ll end him] and frankly [haha name pun funny] he’s not actually that bad, and a lot of it’s due to toxic masculinity and the way he was raised, so it takes time to unlearn that but he is actually very accepting of his kids [not manny though he’s a shit bag])
greg heffley: he/him maybe, not cis at all, maybe nonbinary, bigender? likes girls (and hasn’t really thought about boys much but he ???????? confusion spawns at the thought), absolutely adores wearing skirts and dresses and shit but in the most middle school way (aka really cute skirt or whatever and then just,,, the scruffiest sneakers with mud all over them and a polo shirt). he’s not really a makeup person but wouldn’t mind learning how to do it properly
manny heffley: insane. an arsonist. should be in jail. does not deserve a gender or pronouns.
rowley jefferson: they/he or he/him, she?? maybe so maybe not, but he hasn’t really thought of it that much. gay?? again, hasn’t thought about labels- his whole vibe is just existing and not realising that there’s anything unusual about his life experiences and how he feels gender and attraction. he literally just goes with the flow and would be extremely surprised to find out that there’s words for this stuff. he’s also emotionally wise and simple about how he feels- bad, good, happy, sad, angry, content. he doesn’t feel the need to complicate things. he’s been raised to love and accept himself and that’s what he always does. probably had a crush on greg at some point, demiromantic/sexual, generally not focused on crushes or dating like greg is, and also incidentally the purest kindest lil bitch on this earth. we all protect him. would wear any clothes that make him happy, as is his god given right. likes flowy skirts and chaotically patterned t-shirts, and likes primary colours but also pink.
ben segal: the bestest boy.  presents super punk and is the softest kindest dumbest man alive. an absolute giggly doofus. has anxiety, is trans, he/him. gay. suffered from depression, especially during difficult time with his parents and whether they’d accept him (they did eventually, it just took some time for them to understand, but they really try). he and rodrick (his boyfriend) are the ones who take greg to the mall and attempt to introduce him to the world of clothes that are not polos and beige pants or jeans. they’re semi successful and leave with some kickass outfits. ben actually likes to write songs as well, although rodrick is the main writer for the band, and his songs tend to be sort of soft and sad and wistful (and then there’s random ones that are just Chaos, in the way that loded diper itself is utter chaos). he’s got a bunch of piercings and also a jacket that is literally held together by pins, he likes dying his hair and is really good with kids.
