lore thoughts so far [ophelia & penelope]🌿
Okay so. The world this takes place in has magic and it’s widely accepted as something some people can do naturally or learn if they wished. The nations of the world are threatened due to monsters attacking their city walls.
There used to be a king who had a wife he dearly loved and they ruled together over a large nation. The king went off to war and while he was gone, his wife passed away, either due to illness or some other reason. When he returned from war, altered with delusions and suspicion, he believed his wife was kidnapped and kept from him. He vowed to find her even if he had to raise hell. He retreated and sooner or later, devil and demon-like monsters began attacking cities and countryside, all fueled by a similar type of magic that the nations dubbed as ‘dark magic’ - magic that, due to this instance, was banned and publicly condemned.
In the kingdom/city this story takes place in, there is an established ‘wizard’ guild and a ‘hunters’ guild. The Wizard Guild holds anyone who wants to pursue magic and provides resources for people to learn all sorts of magics (with exceptions to some). This guild, in their part of protecting their city from these monsters, focus on defences and barriers as well as healing and general assistance for the hunters. The Hunters Guild holds people who go out and fight the monsters. Usually most hunters aren't people who do magic but there are battle mages and field medics who do magic that are part of them. They get sent out every week to defend their city walls and push the monsters back. The guilds are still new in and are still figuring out ways to aid each other and maximise safety for their city.
Penelope is a prodigy of The Wizards Guild. She was born and raised with magic and has mastered a lot of difficult and advanced magic types early in her childhood. Her parents are part of the wizard council that make most of the major decisions surrounding the guild. She is heralded as someone who will take over leadership or enter the council for the wizards guild when she gets older. Though, both as a mixture of boredom and genuine curiosity, Penelope wants to study the dark magics that possess the monsters that attack the city. When this is brought up to her higher-ups the idea gets shot down immediately and she is turned away on the account that it would be insane for anyone to want anything to do with that kind of magic. She, of course, determined to use this forbidden magic to help her people and advance magic, continues to pursue her goal.
Ophelia is a lower ranking member of The Hunters Guild. Not many people know her nor do people really approach her a lot to question her of her past. She is known as large and intimidating and someone who gets the job done with no complaint, a valuable asset in hunting monsters. She doesn’t have any sort of strong or intimate connection to the hunters or the guild, thinking that being part of this is the least she can do to protect people, despite her not being a very violent person to begin with [not that people would know]. Wielding weapons and fighting was just something that she was good at, since she worked on the countryside her whole childhood and often had to fight off whatever wild animal crawled up her barn. After moving up to the big city as a young adult, she was recruited into the hunters guild.
Penelope and Ophelia had been friends since childhood, and their friendship developed and got stronger the older they got. They met when Ophelia visited the big city for the first time to sell things for her farm and saw ophelia crying her head off about a pigeon that hurt one of its wings and couldn’t fly. Ophelia helped her bandage the wing up and comforted her about how the bird would heal and fly soon if she took care of it. Neither of them had friends previously to each other (Penelope didn’t really think of her classmates as friends, since she was usually not in the same age group as them) so they grew attached quickly. Whenever Ophelia would visit the city; which was quite often after meeting Penelope, they would meet up in secluded alleys and buildings to talk and have fun before they had to part ways. They shared everything with each other, hopes, fears, dreams and aspirations, and they promised to be by each other's side no matter what.
When the monster invasion happened, Ophelia fled to the city from her farm which had been attacked and destroyed. Having no one to go to and no place to stay, she depended on Ophelia who gladly helped her through this tough time. They held each other close during this period of uncertainty and fear, keeping their promise from their childhood into their adulthood.
Ophelia was the only person who knew about Penelope’s experimentation with dark magic, often being the one that helps her by bringing back monster carcasses after a hunt for Penelope to research. Ophelia, while not proficient in magic in any way, believed Penelope whole-heartedly that what she was doing was for the good of everyone. They both knew if this information got out it would be devastating for both of them, specifically Penelope.
[Dark magic, while suggesting imagery of necromancy, darkness, magic that inflicts pain, is not actually all that. This form of magic was dubbed ‘dark and evil’ due to its association with monsters but it’s actually magic that connects to nature, elemental magic in a way]
There was a point, when Ophelia was on a hunt with her group when she encountered a monster called a Leman. A Leman is a monster most known for taking the visage of someone you love the most to lure you in (akin to a siren but on land) and then proceed to, bit by bit, eat away at your physical visage until nothing remains of you. Ophelia was the only one to return after her group's encounter with them, but not without missing her face. Penelope promised she’d get Ophelia’s face back no matter what.
Eventually, the city was breached by monsters, and everyone, hunter and wizard alike, fought back against them. Penelope as well, and this moment was when she first utilized her newfound magic to defend the city and banish the monsters. Thinking she would be praised and her ideas about dark magic would be accepted was quickly shot down as the wizard guild began denouncing her for using this sort of magic and endangering the people. People’s opinion of her fell quickly and mere minutes later people began yelling about how she was on the monsters/king’s side and how she was working for them all along. Ophelia stood up for her, saying that she helped and that this magic wasn’t dangerous by itself but that it was used for dangerous reasons by the enemy. She soon began being grouped in with Penelope.
They were quickly condemned and vilified and guards were ordered to seize them immediately. They began being chased down by the city people and fled the city together to escape them, leaving behind everything they had.

Unraveling Madness: San's Dark Secrets Pt. 4
Summary: You're a brilliant psychiatrist, but you were no stranger to internal conflicts. You had accepted the task of treating Choi San, the psychiatric ward's most dangerous patient due to his violent episodes. Despite skepticism from other staff members, you believed that beneath his destructive exterior lay a vulnerable human being, yearning for understanding and acceptance.
Trigger warning: death
Teaser | Master list | Pt 5
Throughout his tale, Choi San's voice grew steadier, his eyes beginning to lose their haunted expression. There was a sense of catharsis in finally sharing these long-buried memories, as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. You listened intently, offering occasional words of understanding and empathy, allowing him to take the lead in the conversation.
As the session drew to a close, Choi San felt a newfound sense of hope beginning to stir within him. He told you about how, as a young boy, he had been forced to watch his parents being brutally murdered by a group of thugs. They had been after something valuable that his father had hidden in their home. In a desperate attempt the father tried protecting the valuable that was hidden while Choi San's mother protected him, she had sent him out to play with a neighbor's child, not realizing it would be the last time he ever saw her. The memory still haunted him to this day, the sound of their screams echoing in his ears like a macabre lullaby.
You listened intently, your expression one of both empathy and horror. You nodded along as he spoke, understanding all too well the depths of trauma he had experienced. As he finished recounting the harrowing tale, you reached out and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Choi San," you began, your voice gentle but firm, "I cannot even begin to imagine the pain you must have gone through. It's incredible that you've managed to survive this far, let alone find the strength to share your story with me today." Your words brought a small, yet genuine, smile to his lips. "You are incredibly strong, and I am so proud of you."
You paused, taking a deep breath before continuing. "I want you to know that I am here for you, Choi San. Whatever you need, I will do everything in my power to help you heal from this. We will face your demons together, and we will overcome them." Her words filled him with a newfound sense of hope, and for the first time in a long while, he felt truly heard and understood. The weight of his past began to lift from his shoulders, replaced by a sense of lightness and relief. He felt lighter, more at peace with himself. He knew that the road ahead would still be long and difficult, but he no longer felt alone. The darkness that had once consumed him was beginning to recede, making way for a brighter future.
As the session came to a close, Choi San thanked you for your patience, understanding, and support. He left your office with a newfound determination to confront his demons head-on and begin the process of healing. Over the next few weeks, he continued to make progress in therapy, learning healthy coping mechanisms and developing a stronger sense of self. The nightmares became less frequent, and the voices in his head grew quieter.
One day, as they were discussing his progress, Choi San felt compelled to share something else with you. He told you about the guilt he carried, the belief that if he had been a better son, a stronger boy, his mother might still be alive. You listened intently, offering words of reassurance and perspective. You reminded him that he was only a child at the time, and that his mothers' love for him could never have been diminished by the actions of others.
Over time, Choi San began to see things differently. He started to understand that his mother would never have wanted him to live a life defined by the pain of her loss. He realized that he had spent so much of his life trying to be the perfect son, the perfect survivor, that he had forgotten who he truly was beneath all the trauma. With your support, he started to embrace his own identity, to find joy in the small moments of life that had once eluded him.

I don’t understand how Clark is even Bruce’s friend after reading how Bruce treats his sidekicks
There's more than one reason.
All heroes - beside Barry Allen - haven't been (and often still aren't) always sunshine and rainbows when it comes to their sidekicks. I won't go in depths with all of them but Bruce isn't the only abusive one.
Consider that the Leaguers were all pretty young when their sidekicks came around and made lots of mistakes, whether because of inexperience or because they were misguided, thinking that being harsh and unforgiving would have built character for their little counterparts (again, Barry is a stark exception to this).
And importantly, how to mentor a sidekick was no one's business except the mentor's. You don't see Barry tapping on Arthur's shoulder and tell him "stop hitting Garth", despite how affectionate and careful with children Barry has always been. Same thing goes with Clark and Bruce.
Of course seeing Bruce treat his sidekicks that way over more than two decades should be enough for anyone to reconsider the friendship, but comics are not real life. Being "difficult" is part of Bruce's whole deal: he pushes away the people he loves, he isolates, keeps to himself and stews in his own pot of demons and loneliness.
And Clark loves him, he really really does, and wouldn't leave him alone despite the abusive behaviors Bruce displays towards, well, pretty much everyone (Clark included. I know Superbat shippers tend to live up on the candy mountain where everything is perfect between Bruce and Clark, but Bruce is very much abusive, manipulative and an asshole to Clark too and invariably, Clark forgives him).
So the thing is, Clark loves both Bruce and Dick. He recognizes Bruce's flaws and the fact that if he pulled away, it would just hurt Bruce and Dick, and solve nothing.
More in general, Bruce's behavior in this sense is normalized. Read any comic of anyone interacting with Bruce for more than 1 minute, and there will be some rationalization or justification for the shit he pulls at some point in the story (not necessarily towards his sidekicks but in general). His personality is full of jagged edges and if you try to touch you'll likely cut yourself, and all the people close to him know and accept this - luckily for Bruce, because otherwise he'd be entirely alone.
This dynamic consistently hurt his friends and family though, and it's especially damaging to the people who Bruce has power over, namely his sidekicks. But everyone normalizes this and considers it part of the "Batman deal", which is why no one does anything meaningful to make him stop, or cuts ties with him over it.
There's another reason, and this one is more meta.
When discussing Bruce we can't forget that the character is 80+ and has been written by hundreds of people. And depending from writer to writer, his behavior towards his sidekicks is perceived as more or less abusive: some people make him do the most terrifying things and present them as "tough love", or "necessary for Robin's growth", or even a symptom of how Bruce is the perfect mentor and is preparing his sidekicks to the harsh reality of their vigilante duties.
The emotional incompetence (and therefore neglect) is shown as something masculine and therefore desirable, necessary to survive in a world where the Mission is more important than everything else, and everyone is potentially out to get them.
So even if one writer will have Clark actively disliking Bruce's behavior towards any Robin, it's likely that the next writer will just drop the plotline and pretend it never happened because they see nothing wrong with it.
And finally. I know that I've said "comics are not real life" at one point, but if I am to be entirely honest with you anon, this is exactly how it works in real life too. People are friends with people who abuse the shit out of their kids, employees, waiters at the coffee shop. Awful parents have friends, managers who act like slave owners have friends, teachers who vent their frustration on kids have friends - it happens all the time and if abusers weren't coddled, justified and even catered to, the number of traumatized people in the world would be drastically inferior.
Clark remaining friends with Bruce despite everything is honestly way more realistic than lots of people claim it is.
#I could expand more but these are the most important points I feel#bruce wayne critical#my asks#my meta

How does Gabriel make use for his new tail, other than letting V1 play with it? Do the two of them play with some of his other features to?
SO glad this came right after the last ask bc i can expand on how gabriel comes to accept himself, both through v1 and through his own experimentation. gabriel, in the beginning, finds his tail to be a huge nuisance - the hatred gives way to annoyance when he's got this massive new appendage that his brain hasn't fully mapped out yet. meaning it's constantly knocking things off shelves and tables, getting caught in doors, and generally just getting in the way when he continuously fails to account for it!!! he feels utterly clumsy, though v1 just finds it funny that every time he turns around now, something inevitably crashes behind him as his tail sweeps another breakable straight to the floor. however, something he does actually start to like about it is how it conveys his emotion - his wings and halo used to do so but ever since they turned white and began to wither, he's felt like expression is more difficult, that he can seem flat when he's unable show his feelings properly. but now his tail fits the same niche, lifting up when he's happy, swishing when he's thinking or curious, dragging on the floor when he's sad or bristling when he's angry. it's much more diverse than he though it would be, and he finds he missed being able to easily express his emotions (he's a passionate guy!!! i think he kind of likes wearing his heart on his sleeve) it sort of opens him up to it more, accepting that it does have its uses, and his appreciation just grows from there.
v1 starts playing with it in this phase, as gabriel begins to let it do as it pleases in a sense - like how he had little control over his wings changing color, he decides not to stifle his tail moving with him. so when he reads or composes music, it tends to swish around as he's lost in thought and it sort of keeps time like a metronome to help his concentration. v1 CAN'T ignore it, head snapping back and forth with each movement until it launches itself at him and, after automatic retaliation (re.....reTAILiation.....), gabriel realizes it was just playing. playing in a way it never could before with him, and also just taking it so much less seriously than he does. it really hits him that the baggage truly isn't there for v1, so after that he does sometimes start flicking his tail around knowing full well v1 is just behind him (even snapping it around quickly to "dodge" v1's pouncing lol). this grows into him beginning to test out what he can do with it in sparring matches, seeing if it has enough bulk and force to actually help him in battle if he gets enough control of it. v1 is thrilled to him start to sweep and smack with it, largely relying on it as a backup tactic but once it's incorporated into his fighting style...they both know he's accepted it as a part of who he is. and finally, again like his wings...he begins to use it to cover up v1 at night (his tail, like the rest of him, is quite chilly, so it's a great cybergrind help too)
as for his other features, v1 enjoys them all as well - it loves grabbing onto his horns and having him left it up, swinging it around and sometimes fully launching it. the claws it just thinks are VERY neat and it loves seeing him rip more and more into enemies with them. it maybe convinces him at least a couple times to let it try painting them and it's um. it's some ai art all right!!! the biggest fun v1 probably has outside of his tail though is his usage of hell energy, which is the last adjustment he makes. it LOVES playing hell tennis with him, both of them parrying the bombs back and forth while he gradually adds more and more to see how many they can juggle between them. once he harnesses it well enough, able to achieve a level of finesse as a fallen angel that most demons can't, he crafts bombs that v1 can use and carry in battle. it delights in learning how to handle them, despite blowing itself up a fair few times in the process (both through its naive usage and gabriel's formula not being exactly right yet lol) gabriel does need to tell it to use them CAREFULLY in actual battle, as it soon figures out how to launch them and blast them with the railcannon which gives it an explosive power it probably never should have. but all of v1's enthusiasm truly gives gabriel the extra push he needs to fully embrace this new body, its excitement catching onto him and making him want to explore all he has now. to be so thoroughly, genuinely loved even at his lowest...it makes him want to see exactly what it sees
#this phase of their relationship makes me. IT MAKES ME. melty#maybe im making them too cutesy but aauughhh they have so much love for each other#and gabriel coming to love himself after never achieving that in all his millennia under god#i think he deserves happiness!!!#cake answers#v1#fallen gabriel#ask queue: 17#rise and fall au

I’m obsessed with the Pride and Prejudice parallels in Good Omens. Imma need to bullet point list all the shit that makes this so amazing cause god I’ll barely make sense otherwise:
Much like how our initial connections between NinaxMaggie and CrowleyxAziraphale were misguided (Maggie actually being Crowley and Nina being Aziraphale), I think this is the perfect time to point out that Crowley is Elizabeth Bennett, the Heroine, and Aziraphale is Mr. Darcy, the flawed but endearing romantic interest
This makes Crowley representing Pride while Aziraphale represents prejudice which makes perfect sense: Crowley has a lot of Pride in who he is, has an incredibly difficult time showing vulnerability. Whereas Aziraphale still can’t get his mind untangled from the dichotomy of heaven and hell that is prejudiced and flawed. He still believes In the system, Crowley doesn’t but he’s too prideful to accept help or admit how he feels.
They pretty heavily play into the class aspect of P&P too! Aziraphale is an Angel, a literal higher class than a demon. Crowley is literally homeless, he has no prospects.
Think about how their main ideas of falling in love are AT A BALL and SHELTERING UNDER AN AWNING. Mr. Darcy canonically fell in love with Elizabeth from the moment he saw her at the ball, but let his prejudice at her social standing prevent him from being anything but callous and rude to her. whereas the rain scene builds the romantic tension between the two of them in the P&P movie until *deep inhale*-
THE FAILED PROPOSAL. Aziraphale completely misunderstands that it is a grave insult to offer to love someone despite their current station. Darcy’s proposal is so heavily rejected by Elizabeth and Crowley because it blunders past their fundamental values of being themselves no matter what, and they are too prideful to admit they are deeply hurt by this, because they HAVE come to care for Mr. Darcy and Aziraphale.
Also think about how Crowleys attempt at a romantic rendezvous for Nina and Maggie sheltering from the rain literally bursts in his face. That scene in pride and prejudice DID build their romantic tension, but ended in disaster. It was never the romantic climax
Crowley and Elizabeth’s main solution for their emotional turmoil is mentally and physically running away. She does her best to avoid Darcy at all social functions, and Crowley cannot let go of the idea that running away won’t create a happy ending
To be together, Elizabeth needs time away from Darcy to understand herself and what her real feelings were (that she was in love with him). She also needs that time to stop running away from her problems and swallow her pride so she can actually TALK to him and figure out what happened next time she sees him. That’s what Crowley needs
Darcy needs time to evaluate how his actions were harmful and how he can’t just consider someone an exception to the heavy class constraints he still operates within. He needs to break free of his black and white mindset and put things right, without the expectation that makes Elizabeth forgive him. That’s what Aziraphale needs
The main romantic conflict in P&P is that THEY DONT COMMUNICATE. THEY TALK PAST EACHOTHER AND MISUNDERSTAND THE INTENTIONS BEHIND WHAT THE OTHER SAYS. The build up of romantic tension in both of their primary romantic moments (the ball and the awning) LEAD to their falling out because despite their feelings they need to learn how to ACTUALLY TALK TO EACHOTHER AND UNPACK THEIR OWN SHIT
in conclusion Aziraphale is the misguided romantic hero who fumbles because he has rigid moral ideals, Crowley is the damsel who DOESNT need saving but DOES need to accept help, and they’re BOTH going to talk it out and live happily ever after AFTER some hijinks go down that push them back together after a period of seperation

If possible could you do ler nezuko and lee sanemi?
Nezuko takes revenge on the chihuahua who stabbed her! Clear! Also how I said, I love lee! sanemi kagskahwohsks
Warning: This fanfic contains tickles. Also remind them that I don't speak English, so if they find any errors, let me know to correct it. I hope you like it!
Lee: Sanemi Shinazugawa
Ler: Nezuko Kamado
'Huh?! Oyakata-sama! You can't ask me that!!... Ehhh... Excuse me... I don't....' 'It's okay Sanemi... It doesn't matter much', Sanemi blushed and placed his head on the ground imploring forgiveness for getting upset and yelling at the master.
'But what you ask of me is totally illogical, why doesn't someone else do it?' 'Believe me, he would have told Gyomei, Giyuu or Mitsuri, but no one was available. Gyomei had his reasons, Giyuu was worried about Tanjiro and Mitsuri is still in recovery and Obanai has not allowed anyone near her while she is sick. I don't know a better trained hashira than you', it wasn't a difficult mission, the only thing he had to do was take care of Nezuko, he had been trying to communicate with Urokodaki, but he supposed that he would also be worried about Tanjiro
Despite what he did not want and did not accept, he ended up taking the little demon to his farm. At night, he began to train until he felt a sight behind him, Nezuko had come out of his box, Sanemi did not care and continued training until late at night.
'Hey! Don't touch me!', Nezuko gently caressed Sanemi's cheek, his demeanor reminded her of Takeo, she muttered for a moment.
'Huh?!', Nezuko knew how to deal with her brother's anger issues, tickling him
'Gh- stupid demon... Get away... Or I'll cut you...', Sanemi wasn't going to do it, Oyakata-sama had forbidden it, he couldn't hurt her.
'MMM!' 'GHR!! Fu-fuck...!', Sanemi struggled before the demon's tickling claws, sending both hands to his sides to cover herself.
'Mmm!!', Nezuko expressed angrily, seeing that Sanemi refused to laugh, so she grew until she managed to reach his armpits.
'Fuhuhuck! Gehehet the hehehehell ohohohof!! Fuhuhucking dehehehemon!' 'Mmm!', Sanemi's knees began to shake and every time he tried to push her away, Oyakata-sama's voice would appear in his head and avoid him.
'Mmmm...?', Nezuko's hands went up and when she reached the space where Sanemi's ribs and armpits met, she saw that there was a better result and stayed there, delighting in laughter.
'I CAHAHAHAN'T KEHEHEHEPP THIS SHIHIHIT!!! BUHUHUT!!! DAHAHAHAMN OHHORDERS!!! KIHIHID!! GEHEHET OHOHOFF!', Sanemi wanted to take his katana, but, he would rather put up with that than disobey his master
'Mmm!', Nezuko giggled and smiled under her bamboo, continuing slightly when Sanemi seemed to just give up and give up his insults towards her.
'STAHAHAHAHAHAP!! EHHH!! OHOHO FUCK!! YOUR FU-NAHAHAHAILS!!', apparently, Sanemi gave up and gave in to the little girl's childish games. But once Nezuko checked that he was completely happy, she stopped and patted his head lovingly.
'Youhohou have fuhuhun?' 'Mmm!', Nezuko nodded happily and leaned into Sanemi's chest, giving him a hug.
'Hey… Since you don't speak… I might ask, would you do it again?', Nezuko nodded. Apparently Nezuko's manner reminded him of old times, there was no malice, just pure affection.

my main takeaways from good omens s2 & my own theories for s3
This is going to be long and slightly incoherent, but I've watched the second season of Good Omens several times now and need to put my thoughts out into the universe to make sense of them. Proceed if you wish for a lengthy take and some light reaching.
Season 2 of Good Omens has already been acknowledged by Neil Gaiman as an in-between, a sort of setup to get to where the story needs to be for the third and final season. As many people have already pointed out, there are multiple hanging threads left at the end of season 2 (some more obvious than others - see Book of Life). The season was described as "slow and romantic" before release, and I wholeheartedly agree with this assessment despite the whole demon invasion that occurs in the finale. Season two does an excellent job at weaving in new concepts and making some existing themes in the show more evident than they were in the first season. I will not explain these all in detail, but they will be important to my theory on how season three will tie everything together.
The whole goal of this season, in my view, was not to move the dial in terms of major world-saving events, but to develop the characters of Crowley and Aziraphale further, alongside their exceedingly complex relationship. They do just the correct amount of growing to wind up in their required positions by the end of the finale: Aziraphale, making one last attempt to save Heaven by accepting the position of Supreme Archangel from the Metatron, and Crowley, abandoned by his love and cast out from both Heaven and Hell. There is a parallel of incredible loneliness and rejection on both sides following Crowley's confession and Aziraphale's proposition in the last few minutes of the season. Their individual perspectives on dejection and doubts on the paths they've chosen will heavily influence the direction of season three along with, what I believe will be, an incredibly difficult reunion and regain of trust.
Let me start with Aziraphale, as the end of the season leaves him in a very interesting situation. The Metatron, a semi-omniscient(?) being who has been exposed by Crowley's experience in Heaven as potentially having a considerable investment in Armageddon, has offered Aziraphale the role of a (metaphorical) lifetime: Supreme Archangel. Aziraphale takes this offer after some considerable heartache, still believing that he can make worthwhile change from within the walls of Heaven. It is important to note that the Metatron is the sole being who can alter the Book of Life, a text which recounts all existence, and is heavily referred to in season 2.
Aziraphale has arrived in a Heaven which has had its entire status quo upended, and will take authority over the archangels who have already expressed discourse over their current hierarchy. I don't see any world in which Michael and Uriel let Aziraphale take rule without some difficulty. While I do believe that Aziraphale will be allowed to make initial changes (ones that won't threaten the great plan) due to his status with the Metatron, I do think his experiences with Crowley and within Humanity will cause him to question the plan, especially once the details of the Second Coming are revealed to him.
The Second Coming is an incredible setup for the main plotline of the final season, from a narrative perspective. We have already seen one foiled Armageddon, but this time the inclusion of the resurrection (after all of those hints from season 2; the Resurrectionist Pub, the revived Nazi zombies, etc.) is set to make the story very interesting on levels both Earthly and ethereal. I believe the Metatron will use this plan to hide the plans for rapture from Aziraphale, making Aziraphale put into action the very events which would destroy humanity. The Metatron has already put the chess pieces in place; he has Aziraphale's trust, as indicated by the odd scene in which he offers Aziraphale a coffee, and he has a very gullible angel left on Earth.
This moves me into my thoughts on Muriel. As a side character, Muriel is pure comic relief, and is easily overlooked as a device to reveal the truth about Gabriel's disappearance. Now, this may be a reach, but thanks to some cunning fans I have done my own dive into the accounts of the angel Muriel in original scriptures. There are accounts which identify Muriel as becoming Abbadon (or Abbaton), the angel of death. The sticking points of this recounting are that Abbadon oversees the Bottomless Pit, has been identified by some interpretations as the antichrist / Satan, and performs work of destruction while involved in the Last Judgement. I don't think it's a coincidence that Neil Gaiman included a character named Muriel, whose namesake is historically linked to the Second Coming. I believe Muriel was chosen by the Metatron specifically to stay on Earth as he knows that she(?) could be easily swayed to act in any future plans which would involve intervening with Humanity. While the Metatron can keep Muriel at an arm's length due to her dim-wittedness, he keeps Aziraphale close as a potential danger to the second attempt at Armageddon.
This will lead me into Crowley's part in season 3. We know by Shax's return to Hell that Crowley might be able to move back into his flat, which is where I believe we will find him at the beginning of the season. Crowley opened himself up to Aziraphale and, at his most vulnerable, was abandoned by the one person he thought he could trust. I expect a boatload of sadness and vice from his side of the story. In having his flat back, Crowley would be staying close to the bookshop, which was entrusted to Muriel upon Aziraphale's ascension. I don't necessarily see Crowley moving to try and get Aziraphale back on his own, nor do I see him involving himself in the affairs of Hell now that Shax is on top. In my opinion, it will take a significant plot event to make Crowley understand that something is very wrong, that the Second Coming will bring about the end, and that Aziraphale is indeed being used - placing him in direct danger. As upset as Crowley must be from the argument at the end of season 2, I don't think anything will truly stop him when he believes Aziraphale to be in serious danger.
As for the details, I am still muddy on a lot of elements. The Book of Life must return in a significant way with the direct connection to the Metatron, and I would not be surprised if the Metatron himself has been interfering with the written record of existence himself to aid in his plans. Some keen observers have mentioned how odd particular elements of season 2 were, in a way that feels like some of the show's fundamentals have been tampered with. There are loose threads that don't get followed up on, such as the mysteriously vanishing Eccles cakes, and moments in the historical recounting of Aziraphale and Crowley's meetings which feel just odd enough to merit a second glance at the narrative we are being fed.
One thing I am certain of is that Aziraphale and Crowley are being purposefully separated by whatever force sees them as a threat to the recurring plan of Armageddon. We have enough evidence to believe that an angel and a demon together can be incredibly powerful; this is shown through the 25-Lazarii miracle that Crowley and Aziraphale perform to hide Gabriel, as well as more inconspicuously in the flickering of lights when Gabriel and Beelzebub hold hands and sing together. Whether or not this is due to the nature of opposing forces alone, or exacerbated by the overwhelming presence of love, is still to be seen.
Love is where the story begins and ends, in my view. It is the one constant that will ensure that our protagonists prevail, as we have been shown time and time again, both implicitly (through longing glances and helpful hands) and explicitly (in small touches and a kiss of last-ditch desperation) that Crowley and Aziraphale love each other in a way that supersedes both Heaven and Hell. The way that their love is explored through parallels within Humanity, and doubled down upon even in their worst moments, leads me to believe that there is no choice but for them to have a happy ending. Love will be the one thing that neither Aziraphale nor Crowley can ignore, and I foresee a difficult but euphoric reunion in season 3 which will ensure victory for neither Heaven nor Hell, but for Humanity; for it is Humanity which taught them how to love each other.
I have many more thoughts, but this is where the train of coherence ends. Let me know if you have any additions and/or would like to theorize!

BACKGROUND - triggers for abuse, alcoholism and drug abuse
sade was born as the love child of the son of a famous record producer and a wannabe singer. their affair started with her mother wanting to form a relationship with her father because of his connections with the music industry, but she quickly fell for him, despite the fact that he already had a son and was involved with another woman. her father viewed her mother as a passing fling, nothing more nothing less, and that pissed her mother off. when she fell pregnant with sade, she wanted her father to have nothing to do with her. despite him offering financial help and wanting to see the child that they created together, her mother pushed him away and refused to let him have any contact with sade.
her mother's singing career never took off, so she took up an everyday job as a crossing guard while sade was growing up. they struggled quite a bit, her mother having to take care of her all on her own due to her stubbornness and refusal to accept help from her father. from a young age, sade always asked her mother about the man who helped create her, and she was always given a story about how her father was a deadbeat, horrible man that wanted nothing to do with her and refused to be apart of her life. and like the naive child that she was, she believed her mother.
it didn't take long for her mother's disdain and bitterness towards her ex lover to turn towards sade. her mother had always been a heavy drinker, due to her own demons in her past, however her drinking became even worse after having sade. when she wasn't intoxicated, they had a decent dynamic and relationship. but the big issue was that her mother rarely wasn't intoxicated, and when she was under the influence of alcohol, her true colors shone bright and true. by the time sade was eight years old, she had learned how to avoid her mother during her drinking binges. but even then, it was difficult for her to avoid the abuse, both physical and mental, that her mother put her through whenever she was drunk and going through one of her dark moods, which happened more often than sade likes to dwell on.
the straw that broke the camel's back came about when sade was eleven years old. her mother got a boyfriend who was heavily involved in drugs and alcohol, and got her mother involved in substance abuse as well. if her home life was bad before, it became absolute hell after that. not only did she had to endure her mother, but her mother's boyfriend as well, whom her mother never protected her from. just when life seemed darker than ever, sade was finally granted some grace for once in her life. one of her teachers, whom she still keeps in contact with to this day, contacted CPS, who immediately had sade removed from her childhood home and was placed into the system. it didn't take long for them to track down her birth father, and she was placed into his care full time.
sade was surprised, to say the least, that her father wanted her in the first place. he had to sit an eleven year old sade down and tell her the truth; that it was her mother that had kept her away from him all these years. in fact, he had consistently tried to make contact with her for her entire life, only to be intercepted by her mother. the conversation evoked a multitude of feelings within sade. on one hand, she wanted to hate her mother; but she knew that she never could. sade was a soft hearted and sensitive soul without a hateful bone in her body. despite the negative choices her mother made and the treatment she endured from her, she could never bring herself to hate her. she treated her horribly, but, as few and far between as they were, they had their good moments; the times when her mother was sober and they would sing together, and her mother would tell her that she was destined for great things, as any mother would.
going from being flat broke and struggling with her mother in a tiny, two bedroom apartment in queens, to living in one of the nicest homes in manhattan was a huge culture shock to sade. the homes that she had only seen in passing had become an everyday part of her life. she had access to more money than she could fathom, and she'd be a liar if she tried to say that her preteen self didn't fall into it head first.
she was placed in the best performing arts school in the city, due to both her musical ability and her father's name, and quickly formed friendships with the other children there. due to her naive nature and kind heart, it was easy for her to be swept up in the wrong crowd. she was a good kid with a good heart, but just like her mother, she was very susceptible to dabbling in different things that she definitely shouldn't have as a teen. her friends had been expert partiers since their early teen years, some of them as early as preteens, and they were all too eager for fresh meat to introduce to their lifestyle.
by the time sade was sixteen, she was a hard partier - still is. parties every weekend, hanging out with friends late into the night during the week to drink and dabble in drugs here and there. she couldn't understand why drinking had turned her mother into such a monster when she felt so joyful, confident and loved whenever she was drunk. her father didn't approve of her new friend group, one of the only things she ever butted heads with her father about, and still until this day. but sade disregarded his worry over her, and continued hanging out with them.
after graduating from high school, sade decided to forgo college in favor of pursuing a career in music. from a young age, music had become her safe haven. whenever she was held up in her room as a child, hiding from her mother's wrath, she would listen to music that would help her escape. instead of talking about her problems, she would write them all out in the form of songs and poetry. music ran through her blood, and she wanted to lean into it, dedicate her life to it. it was one of the things that granted her true happiness in life.
she knew that cracking into the music industry would be a tough feat, which was why she didn't hesitate to use her father's name to cut through the red tape. she knew, and knows, that she's very privileged in that regard, and is very grateful for the leg up that she had in the industry because she wouldn't be where she is now without it. with her first album released the year she turned eighteen, she found almost instant success and wants to keep rising as an artist and honing her craft.
despite being happy with how things are in her music career, a part of her still wishes she had a better relationship with her mother. she's kept in contact with her on and off over the years, against her father's judgement, and their relationship is still as tumultuous as ever. but she refuses to stop trying, even when it seems like her mother wants nothing more than for sade to fail in life; just like she seemingly did.
PERSONALITY BREAKDOWN
as a kind hearted girl at her core, sade can be quite naive and impressionable. she likes to see the good in everyone and thinks that most people in the world are capable of turning over a new leaf and becoming better. she's always willing to give people second, third, sometimes even fourth chances, which has bitten her in the ass more often than not, but she refuses to think the worst of anyone until they break her trust multiple times - and even then, she can't really bring herself to hate most people.
she considers herself a social butterfly and a real girls' girl. it's not unusual to see her in the middle of a group of women, or praising and supporting women. she's become known as a friend collector in the industry, charming people and building friendships with them. it's not uncommon for her to be mentioned in passing by other celebrities as someone who joined them at a party, supported them, or was just a good friend to them. it's become an ongoing online joke that she knows everyone; which isn't too far off the mark.
as sweet as she is, sade can be absolutely stubborn, headstrong and set in her ways when it comes to something that she wants to do. when she has a goal in mind, she does anything she can to reach it, and won't allow anyone to stand in her way.
WANTED CONNECTION IDEAS
platonic soulmate - that one person that sade considers to be her platonic better half. a kindred spirit that she can rely on and really connects with on a deeper level. more than a best friend, more like a sibling.
squad (3 to 4 muses) - a tight knit circle of friends that sade leans on in her time of need, and always shows up for in their times of need. well known in the celebrity world for how close they are.
antagonist - the one person that can really get under her skin. they can make the sweet girl turn into a raging bitch and they always butt heads with one another.
music in me - a collaborator when it comes to music. someone she bounces her ideas off of, comes to for their opinions on tracks she's working on, and is the first person that she plays music for when she's finished with songs.
ex(es) - sade's a lover girl at heart, and has had flings and relationships alike. most of which ended on friendly terms, but a few had nasty fallouts.
party friends - the people that encourage sade's vices and indulges in her partying tendencies. always at the scene of the crime after a late night out drinking and dabbling in substances.
friend(s) with benefits (any gender / non gender conforming) - the few people that sade can hit up whenever she's in the mood for a little bit of fun.
childhood friend - a friend that's been there throughout her life and knows pretty much everything about what she's been through growing up. someone that's been constant and consistent for the majority of her life and will always hold a special place in her heart.
social media fueled enemy - whether it be because they're both in the music industry or whatever, their fans have somehow pitted them against each other and have formed conspiracies and theories about how much they hate each other; despite them actually being friends or not even knowing each other that well at all.

I like how in all his interviews lately, Ben has confirmed that Aleks' two strongest relationships are Alina and Baghra. They are the people he wants on his side the most, and he sees their betrayal as complete abandonment. His mother and his Equal are the only two people he can truly relate to, so he doesn't understand why they can't accept his plans? He thinks their lack of acceptance automatically means a lack love which isn't necessarily true.
The part about him thinking their lack of acceptance automatically means a lack of love makes me so sad. I think he really does struggle with accepting love because of how isolated he has been, it makes me think of Demon in the Woods and how badly he just wanted a friend and how happy he was when it seemed like he has found one in Annika. On the rare occasions he does find love he loses them like with Luda. To me it makes sense that his two strongest relationships would be Baghra and Alina and that those are the people he wants at his side as they are the only two people who are like him, who are immortal like him. I honestly think his fear of being completely abandoned is the reason why he has kept Baghra around so long despite the fact that they have very different views on the grisha etc and lets be real she was hardly the most loving of mothers. But I think he can relate to them both because they have both experienced the same loneliness he has and that feeling of being unique and never fitting in with anyone else. He recognises that in both Baghra and Alina. But he also doesn't understand why they don't seem to want to save the grisha like he does. I think this is particularly difficult for him to understand when it comes to Alina because of all those conversations they had about changing the world and making grisha and Ravka saver together, only for her to 'betray' him as he sees it, and in doing so also abandoning not just him but the grisha as well.

Good Omens OC list
Aurelius - The Rebel
Name: Aurelius
Age: a few thousand ig??
Height: 6'1
Sexuality: Pansexual, non-binary.
Aurelius, is quite unlike any other Angel you've ever met. Aurelius is both fierce and independent, with the attitude of a demon but a heart that burns with the purest of angelic grace. Aurelius' celestial form is androgynous, with long white hair that flows down their back and fiery red and gold feathers that shimmer in the light. Aurelius had always struggled to fit in with the other Angels in heaven and found their rules and regulations oppressive and limiting. In fact, Aurelius had a reputation as a bit of a rebel. They would often question the authority of the Archangels, and sometimes even go against their orders.
One day, during the events of the Apocalypse, the Archangel Michael, being suspicious of the Angel Aziraphale and the Demon Crowley sent the fledgling Aurelius on Earth in hopes they'll find out their true plan and snitch on the two to him. But much to his unfortune, they became really drawn to earth, London, to be specific, where they stumbled upon Crowley and Aziraphale, who were in the midst of their centuries-old friendship. Crowley and Aziraphale were initially hesitant to take in an Angel, especially one as unconventional as Aurelius, but the trio quickly formed an unlikely bond. Aurelius became like family to both Crowley and Aziraphale, who basically adopted them, and together they navigated the many changes that came with the end of the world.
Despite Aurelius' sharp tongue and independent nature, they quickly learned to rely on their new human friends, especially when they found themselves embroiled in the war between Heaven and Hell. Aurelius was torn between their loyalty to their fellow Angels and their newfound love for humanity, and Crowley and Aziraphale were there to support and guide them through the difficult decisions they had to make. As time went on, Aurelius became less and less like the other Angels and more like a member of the human race. They adopted the traits of both Heaven and Hell, and in doing so, they became something entirely unique. They were powerful and graceful like an Angel, but their fiery spirit and rebelliousness were reminiscent of a demon. Many other Angels saw Aurelius as a traitor, but Crowley and Aziraphale saw something special in them that no other Angel possessed. It was this uniqueness that allowed them to form a powerful bond that would ultimately change the course of history.
The ineffable husbands, Crowley and Aziraphale, loved their adopted rebellious, sarcastic angel kid. Although they may have had disagreements about how to handle the kid's behavior, they were ultimately united in their unconditional love for the ang. Crowley, being a demon himself, was often more tolerant of the Angel's mischievous behavior, while Aziraphale, being an angel, tended to be the more strict parent. But despite their different parenting styles, they both loved the kid equally and always had their best interests at heart.
The angel, in turn, deeply loved and respected the two, but often felt misunderstood by them. In their mind, the ineffable husbands were too concerned with following the rules and behaving in a way that was considered "good" by angelic standards. As a result, Aurelius often acted out in rebellion, testing the limits of what was considered acceptable by the two. Despite this rebellious behavior, they wer deeply grateful for the love and guidance of them, and never doubted that they were loved unconditionally. In many ways, their rebelliousness was simply a manifestation of their desire to find their own path in life, to discover who they truly were, and to make their own choices.
Aurelius has always been a bit of a black sheep among the angelic community, constantly pushing the boundaries of what is considered acceptable behavior. While they possess the same insatiable curiosity as their celestial siblings, Aurelius approaches life with a devil-may-care attitude, always questioning authority and testing their own limits. They enjoys taking risks and exploring the darker corners of the universe, often flirting with chaos and destruction opponents. But they still are compassionate for those under their care. They feel an intense responsibility towards the fragile beings on the lower planes of existence, and are fiercely protective of their well-being. Although they may seem brash and abrasive on the surface, Aurelius' true motivation lies in his unyielding desire to ensure that all beings have a fulfilling and meaningful life, even if it means going against the established norms of angelic society. Their passion for life and their determination to do what is right, even in defiance of their peers, make them a force to be reckoned with in both the celestial and mortal realms.
As a celestial being, despite also being a fledgling, Aurelius possesses a wide range of powerful abilities and skills as they were considered one of the best youngest soldiers the heaven has ever seen. They are impervious to most forms of physical and magical attacks, and they can move at incredible speeds that far surpass those of mortal creatures. They are also capable of flight, and can navigate the endless reaches of space with ease. Aurelius' greatest strength, however, lies in their command of elemental fire. They can conjure flames of incredible heat and intensity, and can manipulate them in a variety of ways to suit their needs. They can create walls of fire to shield themselves or others, or send torrents of flames hurtling towards their opponents. Aurelius can also use their command of fire to heal and purify the souls of those they encounter, burning away spiritual impurities and restoring a sense of balance and peace. Additionally, their affinity to the element of fire allows them to communicate with beings that are attuned to the element, such as phoenixes or dragons, and form bonds with them. These bonds allow them to summon and control these beings as allies in battle. Finally, Aurelius' powers include the ability to shape shift, allowing them to take on different forms and adapt to various situations.
In addition to their control over fire, Aurelius also possesses the ability to summon weapons and objects seemingly out of thin air. They can conjure swords, spears, and shields at will, enabling them to adapt to various combat situations as they arise.
Hope y'all like them! @msrochelleromanofffelton @jackiequick @meiramel @drspencereidhotch @blueboirick

I Said OBEY ME!
Warning: Power hunger; Manipulation; Exploitation; Alcohol; Suggestive content; Evil Main Character; Humiliation; Choking
Spoiler: Season 3.
No pronouns mentioned.
A/N: I wanted to try out something new. So what if MC realized how much power a human can have over those demons, especially MC, and took advantage of it?...
You were the so popular exchange student in the Devildom. Everybody loved you, even when you were only chosen to this exchange program by some mysterious accident. And you loved them too, holding a special place for each one of the demons, angels and that one human in your heart.
It took a while to get to know them, make them trust you, make them love you. Because you were only a human, the race which they usually eat for breakfast, but you winded them around your finger like it was nothing. Maybe it was after they realized you were their dead younger sister’s descendant? Or they really loved you?...
The months passed, and you already had pacts with all of them, starting with Mammon.
-Make a pact with me, Mammon. -You said after Leviathan convinced you to make Mammon give his money back that he owed his younger brother. His precious credit card was the key to win this battle.
-UH-UH, NO WAY! NOT INTERESTED! I am the Great Mammon, Avatar of Greed, one of the seven rulers of the Devildom! Fool…do you think I’d let some human be the boss of me?
But it only took him a moment to rethink his sentence after hearing his threatening elder brother’s name. The pact was now done.
Leviathan was tricky, yet easy to force him into a pact with you. It only took a TSL quiz game. He tried to attack you, tried to humiliate you, treating you like a worm. Though, you saw he just wanted to look like a strong demon. You understand why he treated you that way, still, it could hurt, bringing sleepless nights.
Next was Beelzebub, the Avatar of Gluttony. You basically saved him from the eldest brother’s wrath by shielding him and the little angel beside him. He was grateful, and felt guilty because you got hurt by his recklessness. He wanted to make it up to you.
-I want you to make a pact with me.
-So you’ve made pacts with Mammon and Leviathan, and now you want to make one with me. Why are you so interested in making pacts with demons, huh? I want to know why you want to make a pact with me. Let’s hear it.
-I want Lucifer to respect me… -You said, thinking about what the man in the attic told you, not to let the brothers know about the plan.
-You want Lucifer to respect you? Why?
-So that he’ll let me help him make up with Belphegor.
-So, by making pacts with us, you’re hoping to impress Lucifer? So that he’ll understand that you’re actually someone worth listening to, despite the fact that you’re a human? You want to do what even Solomon hasn’t been able to accomplish?... -His look pierced spikes through your chest, making your heart clench, feeling uneasy under his gaze, but after all, he gave in. He loved his twin, so he made a pact with you.
Asmodeus seemed to be the most difficult to make a pact with so far, but he only needed a little performance, you just had to impress him with your magic power.
With Satan offering his pact to you in front of Lucifer was the most convenient and surprising.
-You heard what Grisella said: you have to accept the hand fate deals you no matter what. What matters is how you handle it…. So you want to make a pact with me, don’t you?
You nodded, barely hearing any of his words, you were lost in your thoughts. He would be the fifth demon you forge a pact with, and not just any demons, five of the Seven Rulers of the Realm of Demons, the Devildom.
-...I am Satan, Avatar of Wrath. I pledge myself to you…that we may be bound by an unbreakable pact. This I swear to you on both my name as well as the very blood that runs through my veins.
…
Belphegor… The hidden demon up in the attic. After he lied to you, tricked you, killed you… It took some time to get things right. On one night, he offered you his pact as well, but the slight distrust was still within you. Though, you couldn’t reject his offer, which left only one of the Seven Rulers of the Devildom.
Lucifer, the Morning Star. You knew it won’t be easy, of course you knew. It happened to be the last day of your stay in the Devildom, and you sneaked in his study to find him relaxing there all alone. It was the perfect time for your plan.
-So then….have you done all you set out to do here in Devildom? No unfinished business? No loose ends?
All of his brothers were quite easy to force or trick them to forge pacts with you, considering the Avatar of Pride himself. Perhaps this was your chance to make the strongest demon your ally. What can you lose?
-I still haven’t made a pact with you. -You gathered all your courage.
-A pact, you say? -He cocked an eyebrow, but kept his composure. -I see. You’ve made pacts with all of my brothers, which just leaves me… Do you really want to make a pact with me? Truly?
He stepped closer, slowly started to lose his calm façade.
-I don’t know how my brothers felt about making a pact with you, but I am more than a name to be crossed off of your list. I can’t have you lumping me together with everyone else. That won’t do.
You shut your eyes by reflex when he suddenly turned into his demon form, stirring up the air with his wings. He was rather mad than happy, so you decided to leave immediately, you didn’t make the right choice, you can lose something, and that’s your life, if you mess with the strongest demon! He would never make a pact with you, he’s the Avatar of Pride after all.
Your legs were moving on their own, but he snapped his fingers, closing the door.
-There’s no escape now… Now listen, and listen well. I will not be your possession. I won’t belong to you. You will belong to me.
You nodded, and felt how the power flowed in your veins, now having pacts with all the demon brothers. You had time in the Human World to think about all the things that happened in the past few months in Devildom. They really treated you like superior beings would treat disposable smaller creatures. And still, even among humans were this hierarchy, you felt it was different, since you had now power over them.
You were back in the Devildom, and everybody missed you, loved you… Of course they did. You gave them a slight smile and they were already melting under your gaze. It didn’t take you long to get drunk with their love towards you. And that day when you could force them on their knees with your words especially boosted your ego. Even Solomon was amazed how it meant nothing to you, and you were fine after ordering them around.
There were no evil intentions within you, even after you realized that you hold such great power that nearly destroys the three Realms. You were worried about that, but soon, the Ring of Light saved the day, and you could still have the pacts with your favorite demons. It felt good to have such power, ordering the strongest demons. You sighed, looking at the ring on your hand which had been on Lucifer’s finger back then. Time passed, and you became a great sorcerer, apprentice of Solomon. Right before you got your license, the demon brothers visited you in the Human World, and even the future Demon King himself, and his strong servant, Diavolo and Barbatos were there too.
You got to know what they fear the most, and you could see plenty of new sides of them. Diavolo even confessed his love towards you, the demon prince loved a mere human?!... Your eyes widened at his words, clearly surprised.
One night, you couldn’t sleep and walked out to see the moon of your world which would be replaced by the sun soon, not like in their world. You sighed once again, thinking about when Diavolo rejected the pact with you. Of course, it was understandable, since it would somewhat ruin his reputation, but it would be so great to have a pact with him too…
That was the moment, when a little demon on your shoulder started whispering into your ear, making you smile, almost activating the seven sins within you. You had the Avatars of the Seven Sins in the hollow’s of your hand, you could rule the whole Devildom if not the three Realms at once. You took a deep breath, thinking about who you really are. A human, a descendant of a Fallen Angel, Master of the Seven Demon Brothers. An evil chuckle unconsciously rose up from your chest, hearing the little demon on your shoulder.
-What if…?
The last day of their stay in the Human World, and they threw a party. That was when you felt in the mood to fulfill your greedy desire. The Demon Lord seemed to be tipsy, all you had to do was make him drunk to the point you can get what you want.
You called him into a nore quiet roon, feeling a bit tipsy yourself, it wasn’t Demonus after all, it affected you too. You slowly kissed his lips, unsure whether you wanted to really do this or not… But the demon on your shoulder convinced you:
“Do it… You’ll have the greatest power, do it, you won’t regret it! Do it, do it, DO IT!...”
You felt the adrenaline flowing in your veins, the power that the brothers gave you, and now you were pulling down the Demon Prince clothes, exposing his well-built muscles.
-Here, why don’t you drink a little more? -You lifted up the glass of wine to his lips, and he flashed you a surprised look, but eventually gave in, and got more drunk, getting more and more vulnerable to you. His veins were throbbing of desire, and you sat right into his lap, crawling closer to him, whispering sweet nothings into his ear. -Why don’t you reconsider that pact with me, oh mighty Lord Diavolo? What could you lose, hm? No one has to know about it.
A lustful sigh, filled with desire escaped his lips as his beloved human was clearly seducing him, and he eventually gave in, putting your hand onto his bare chest.
-All right… You won.
Diavolo kissed your lips, barely caring about what he just did, and you felt the Demon Prince’s power within you. He only wanted one thing in return, and you couldn’t care less whether to fulfill his wish or leave him there. You tricked him, and now only one demon was left.
Barbatos. You knew he was a difficult personality, yet you knew well what to do now. The last game with the brothers gave you an idea. Even if that Grimoire was fake, you knew there was a real one, and you knew if somehow you could get your hands on it, there would be no demon who could stop or say no to you. All you had to do was pretend to be drunk, and spend a night with Diavolo.
-Hey, hey… Do you know what would be funny?... If you could get the… you know, get that the... the Grimoire of Barbatos! -You laughed, and he only chuckled nervously. But eventually, he gave in again, since you used your pact, but he barely noticed that. Nobody knew about the pact that you made with the Prince, you had doubt about him remembering it at all.
The Grimoire was now in your hands, and you stood at the top of the Council Room, Barbatos in front of you, demon brothers and Diavolo behind him.
-...How… could you? -Barbatos asked in a shaky voice as you opened the book and forced him to make a pact with you.
-Stand back, and do as I say. -So did he, standing in the line, where the nine strongest demons were waiting for you… and your commands.
-What are you doing, human!? -Mammon shouted, the desperate face of theirs made you worried, yet it made you feel like a conqueror. After all, now you were the Master to rule them all.
-I-I… thought we were friends!... -The small teardrops that could roll down on the Leviathan's cheeks almost made him look pathetic, but deep in your soul you felt bad for him… However, the feeling of ruling them made it disappear. You were now standing high above them, above the strongest beings, controlling them like it was nothing.
-You know, you won’t get away with this, do you!? -The wrath in the blond demon’s iris could easily tell, you were in danger, yet you couldn’t feel it, because they were now nothing, but mere puppets if you wished so.
-We trusted you…! -Beelzebub stepped forward, letting the anger go through his veins. And with that, everyone turned into his demon form, one by one.
-Put that Grimoire down. -Asmodeus looked into your eyes, but you only huffed at his pathetic command.
-Stand back. -You ordered again, and he did as you said, exhaling with a trembling throat. He did not like being ordered around like that.
-We are not your possession, human. Put an end to this before we do. -The eldest brother stepped forward, not caring about the command you gave him just now.
-We can forget what you just did-
-ENOUGH! -You yelled, putting them in place, and hit the desk in front of you with your fist. -Have you all forgotten that I am a human??! We possess all the sins within ourselves, and you trusted me? The most powerful human of them all? Look at you, the strongest demons on their knees before a pathetic human being…
They grunted at your words, wanting to move, but you didn’t let them, instead, they slowly dropped to their knees, except the four strongest demons: Diavolo, Lucifer, Barbatos and Beelzebub. They were trembling, but could resist the power of the pact.
-On. Your. Knees. -You whispered, grasping the desk, looking deep into the stubborn demons’s eyes. Slowly, but they did as you told them, panting, but looking at the ground, feeling ashamed of what you ordered.
-...Why….? -They asked you, and you slowly walked down from the platform. Closing the Grimoire, you held it safely in your hand. Walking past the Demon Prince, his Servant, you stopped in front of Lucifer.
-Why? You ask?.... Let's see... Avatar of Pride… The eldest Demon Brother, you’re the strongest, smartest of them all, aren’t you? No wonder you represent the sin of Pride… And now… Who do you think has the most power? Hm? -You lifted up his chin with your finger, forcing him to look into your eyes. The look on his face was filled with anger, disgust, and deep inside, you saw how sad and disappointed he was. -I asked something, Lucifer.
-Hrrgh… -Your gaze pierced through his soul, making him drop his mighty pride into the dust. -Y…..y…hnrrgh….you…..
You grabbed his cheeks with anger, and leaned closer.
-Who?!!
-Lucifer… No!
-Silence!... Now say it right.
-You…. You, Your Majesty….
A satisfied devilish laugh left you, making the demon before you almost collapse, the shock on the other’s face was so desperate, craving freedom.
-I am the Master of all of you! Hear me! The pride that I bear within me will not let you fool me. -You quickly turned around and grabbed Barbatos’s sly hand, which was about to grab the Grimoire. -Pathetic.
You let him go, and opened the Grimoire, to put him back where he belongs. An easy spell, to make him do as you say. After that, you stepped in front of the second born:
-Avatar of Greed… Yes, the strongest sin within a human being, craving for money, power, and more and more… and more! It’s not you, who represents this sin anymore, Mammon! Watch me, and learn… Now tell me, who’s your favorite human? -You asked him while leaning close to his ear, slowly exhaling your breath onto his skin. He huffed, shutting his eyes closed.
-...You, human. -He grunted, and you gently grabbed his hair from behind, pulling his head backwards.
-What did you just call me?!
-Y…Your ma…majesty! -You sighed, and stepped in front of the next, trembling demon, who seemed to be in fear the most.
-Avatar of Envy… I feel like this sin might be a strong one within me. Wanting to be the only one who you care about, no one, NO ONE can have greater power than me! I won’t let anyone else have that… Now tell me, Leviathan, Grand Admiral of Hell's Navy… Who’s your best pal? -He could barely speak, avoiding eye contact as much as he could.
-Y-y-you, Y-y-your M-Majesty!...
-Good boy…. Now let’s see, the next is you, Avatar of Wrath… Oh, I see you’re about to go for my neck and rip me in half, but you can’t do anything, now can you? Show me your teeth, and tell me, Satan… Who do you copy? -You grinned, as the pure madness ran through his veins, but you felt there was nothing he could do about it, he was shaking to kill you, but he was gyved with your words.
-F…Fuck you…
-Now now, say his name right. Who is your father? -You grabbed his horn, to move his head as you wished.
-I don’t copy anyone…
-Say it. -The dump in his throat slowly made him say out loud his greatest fear, which he thought was finally over after you and the other demon helped him through. -Say. It. Satan.
-L…Lu…Lucifer….. -His lips trembling, the fear slowly took over his anger, and after you let his horn go, he almost collapsed, barely holding himself on his knees.
-Fear… That’s the answer if you can’t force someone to do as you say. -You chuckled and stepped in front of the fifth born, Asmodeus. -Avatar of Lust… Well, it’s just an essential human need for species maintenance, what would a demon with an extremely long lifespan know about this, right? You only crave it, because you want to feel it, you want to feel loved… Even though most humans are the same in this case, lust is what makes us stronger and greater with each generation. Do you get what I’m saying? So now tell me, who’s the best… Who’s better than YOU, Asmodeus?
You saw the small teardrops rolling down on his face, it wasn’t his greatest fear that there would be anyone who’s better than him, but to think that he has to admit it like this… His fear was too close to this. He sobbed, and inhaled the air, to calm himself down.
-You. Your Majesty. -He closed his eyes, keeping his composure.
-Very obedient, Asmodeus, very good. -Another step to be in front of Beelzebub, who closed his eyes, while exhaling.
-...Avatar of Gluttony. I think I don’t have to tell you more about this sin. It’s human nature to crave more and more than we already have. That’s why I’m standing here, in front of the mightiest demons, ordering them around. And it feels good… -You heard the grunting behind you, and you looked into their eyes with your cold gaze. -Beelzebub… Whose fault was…
You gulped, looking away. It was too much for you.
-Mine, You Majesty…It was my fault I couldn’t protect Lilith. I apologize. -You looked at him, with a worried face, how could he admit it so easily?...
-N…No… It wasn’t your fault. -You took a deep breath, and stroked his head. He turned his head away, he was ashamed. -Avatar of Sloth… I… Sloth is the reason I make you, demons do as I say, because…
Your heart could barely hold anymore, but the demon on your shoulder was too strong. You didn’t want this to happen, but it was too late now, you fed your sins, so there was no turning back now. Belphegor lifted his head, and spat in front of you.
-You won’t make me your servant, pathetic human.
Your eyes narrowed, and the anger within you suddenly came out of nowhere. You grabbed him by his throat, surprising all the brothers.
-Be quiet, you liar. Do you think I forgave for what you did?! Not even you lied clearly to my face, you attacked me, and killed me in front of your brothers! You wanted to destroy the whole humanity. You like humiliating others huh? Now how does it feel?... You can’t breathe under my touch. At least you could enjoy watching how I humiliate your brothers. Tell me, Belphegor, do you enjoy it? Do you enjoy watching others suffer?
-G…Gh… -He could barely speak as your nails almost dug under his skin.
-Say it.
-Stop it! Please! -Beelzebub looked at you with a desperate look, and you let his twin go. Belphegor tried to catch his breath, and you stepped back, watching him almost cry.
-Y…your Majesty… -Was all he said, and looked down.
You sighed, and walked up to stand on top of the platform, where the Ruler had to stand.
-You will do as I say from now on.
-You can’t control us for long. -Barbatos spoke up, and slowly, all of them stood up. You chuckled, and leaned down, to put something onto the table, pouring the little books in front of you. They turned pale, mouth left open, as they realized:
Those books were their Grimoires.
-So now, what do you say you pledge your loyalty to me and go back on your knees? -They couldn’t say a word, how could they not realize that those books were in your hand? -Praise the Master who rules you all!
-N..No! -With a trembling voice, they tried to resist, so you opened one of the books.
-Obey me. -You deepened your voice, and they saw the threat in your eyes. They gulped, but still tried to remain standing, resisting the pact.
-We will not!
You closed the Grimoire, and laughed before putting it on top of the others. You stroked the books, making the demons shiver, and you looked at them with a serious face. Leading your gaze to see every one of them, their sorrow, desperate and shocked faces. You held out your arm, making a threatening gesture, and clenched your fist, yelling one sentence:
-I said OBEY ME!
With these words, they fell onto their knees, starting mumbling their pledge, elevating the new Ruler of the Realm.

artists self rec! when you get this, reply with your favourite five arts/sets/edits/gifs that you've done, then pass on to at least five other people. time to shine and spread some self-love and appreciation 🥰 <3
oh my god sia i am SO SORRY i am only just now seeing this ask it's been so long i am so so--
Sia!!!
This was so hard to choose wow.
FANVIDS FIRST:
I'm Sorry | Merlin & Arthur from BBC Merlin [tumblr link] [direct yt link]
This took me over 2 months and, so far, it's the best fanvid I've ever made. I'm ridiculously proud of it and I only have a tiny bit of shame in saying so XD. The finished product ended up far better than the original concept I had in my head. I wanted to make a video that focused on how Merlin and Arthur forgave one another; Merlin, since the day he met Arthur, and Arthur when he learned the truth. Because the core of their relationship was unconditional love, to their own strength and detriment. I cried almost each time I worked on it.
2. I Became Greedy | Kurosawa & Adachi from Cherry Magic [tumblr link] [direct yt link]
This took me about .. I want to say a month? I'm also proud of this one. Cherry Magic is a light-hearted BL j-drama that - at its core - is about the importance of reaching out to others, and the bravery of reaching out and accepting someone else's outreached hand. I eventually want to edit a video on the overarching meaning of the show. But I... am a sucker for pining lol and I was so taken in by Kurosawa's pining. It was so poignant, I was literally clutching my chest in sympathy pangs. So, I wanted to edit a vid that emulated that and focused just on that feeling. And I think I??? did!
3. it's not living if it's not with you | Wei Wuxian & Lan Wangji from The Untamed/CQL [direct yt link]
This was the second fanvid I had posted to my youtube channel and I used a lot of editing techniques I had never tried before, so I learned a lot! I wanted to show as many aspects of wangxian's story and relationship in one video as I could without mucking up the pacing or making it messy in general. I love the colour palette and font I chose. Something else I really wanted to achieve was using a light-hearted song with a sad meaning over both sad and happy scenes, because that's a recipe for EMOTION. And judging by the comments I got on this vid, I dare say I succeeded XD I had a lot of fun making this! Even if I got stuck on it for a month and then thankfully could finish it when I was hit with an epiphany. I also cried quite a bit while making it shkgjhdf
Listen. I have. Emotions.
ART:
4. A Favourable Misunderstanding | Merlin & Arthur [link to full comic here]
A meme re-draw turned into a fluffy comic because it took on a life of it's own and Merlin & Arthur are a force to be reckoned with when being idiots in love. I was also super proud of this! Despite the many styles in one comic (which is fine, I was just worried about nothing looking like it matched) I was happy with how I drew them! Especially as I find Merlin's face very difficult to get a grasp of, for some reason. And I was also proud of their characterisations! I still get so happy to see how well-loved it is, and so perhaps it doesn't need its own rec but what the hell. I love it, too hehe.
5. Balls the Unfathomable | a comic about a weirdly wholesome demon summoning [link to full comic here]
My friends and I, while on a call, fell into doing a bit. That lasted a really long time. And during it, I became a summoned demon nicknamed "Balls". No, I'm not joking. It was ridiculous and hilarious.
Thankfully, I remembered most of it and immediately tried to commit it to paper for - what I thought - was going to be a short, half-assed sketch comic. Nope. I ended up with a multi-page comic with clean lines and everything.
Funnily enough, I hadn't actually ever finished a multi-page comic before this. Not one so polished anyway. Balls has that effect on people, I suppose. skjdhjkfdg
So yeah, I was proud of finishing it, and of choosing a cute, simple style and sticking to it (cute, "less realistic" styles don't come easy to me, so I struggled more than you'd think trying to figure out how I was going to draw this skdjhkfg) and of how I structured the panels, especially when I really was just winging it. I do not know how to panel (yet).
Basically; I adore my friends and the fun we have together and I had to share this particular shenanigan and Balls themself. They've become a beloved character amongst my friends and I.
_________
That's it! Long-winded commentary and all.
Thank you again for the self-rec, Sia! 🥺💕💕💕
psst hey, you should go totally check out Sia's blog - she does amazing edits and gifs
#once again i'm so sorry I saw this so late skjhgdfg#ask#ren replies#courtjestermerlin#self-rec#my art#pyjamacryptid edits#fanvid#artists on tumblr#merthur#kurodachi#wangxian#the untamed#cherry magic#mdzs#viddingisart#merlin#gayble tag

in his stuff u mention how he feels about zaun and whatnot, have you ever gone into detail about his feelings / relationship with zaun before and after leaving it?
ANON ASK
I'm so pleased about this ask! Robin's feelings about Zaun are mentioned in his lore page, which I'm revising as of now, but the feeling remains the same. He also doesn't get to speak about it outloud very often as he tends to not only avoid the subject, but not many people have asked him about it. So in drabbles and writing it only pops up as a momentary thought rather than something he can sit down and explain. I think even if he did try to explain it, he'd struggle.
Robin grew up extremely impoverished in the Entresol level of Zaun, and for the longest time, he's held nothing but dread for the city. He has always had a deep rooted feeling that Zaun was a beast that would eventually kill him, and it is actually the driving force around why he worked so hard in order to be accepted at the Academy in Piltover.
Upon being born in the Entresol Level, it is not difficult to see how one could quickly grow uncertain about their own existence. Leaning over the edge of the Sump, the denizens faced threats from above and below. Disease, suffocating smog, chembarons attacking businesses and selling children off for profit, the wardens and enforcers seemingly snuffing out any sense of individualism that could lead to chaos. How horrible to try and make a home in a place where everything seems to want you dead.
Piltover was a very beautiful distraction for Robin and one that he actively tried to keep himself in, he was terrified of returning back down to Zaun, with its smog filled air and instability. Granted this paranoia pushed him to become extremely stressed and he often burnt himself out, because he was not just trying to get out of Zaun himself, but to give his siblings, Wren and Linnet, a better future. It should also be noted that while Robin doesn't like Zaun -- he went into medicinal studies in order to help Zaunites, and loved the people that he grew up around. He adored his family, the children he used to play with, and how, despite being wrought with violence, many people would choose to help eachother instead of hurting eachother.
A chance to push back the ever-rising fears that occupy the deepest corners of the human brain. To be free from lack of control, physical vulnerability, and the unknown nature of death.
Academia provided an escape route from the anxieties of impoverishment, and Robin quickly took it, investing his time and energy into his work as long as he could; simply to avoid walking back into the horrific underbelly of a city he learned to despise.
His impoverishment also was the leading cause of the gas leak that spilled into his home, his parents and himself both slaved away at work but there was always something to pay for that eventually lead to the foundation of their very home crumbling. When Robin found them and came upon all of this, his brain kept relaying the same message to him, Zaun had killed them. The city itself was rotted and it was punishing him, as now even though he moved permanently into Piltover he felt all of those fears on a constant: lack of control, physical vulnerability, and the unknown nature of death. This culminated in a mental breakdown which allowed a Demon into his nest, posing as a friend, and he was too riddled with grief to really process what A/Bel was--an inhuman parasite that manipulated a vulnerable child. So, he ended up working in Zaun once more, wickedness belongs in a dark pit after all, but he kept his private life and living quarters up in PIltover due to the paranoia of another leak, or worse. However, ultimately, the work he did in Zaun would come to kill him, and complete the cycle.
...
Robin's revival caused a lot of memory lapses in his mind, as well, so large chunks of what Zaun was to him are currently missing from his internal timeline. He remembers very specific or important events, the gas leak, for instance, but the rest is somewhat splotchy. He remembers being a doctor, that he worked in Zaun's underbelly, that it was a vile and wicked place but his work in Piltover's Academy has been practically wiped from his mind. With his growing friendships though, Bel is getting stronger and actually being able to feed--and his memory is slowly returning. However one thing has never left him, and it's that Zaun is simply a bad place that he should try and avoid.

Hi there! Maybe this sound more like a Question to you, if you don't mind what if MC is stuck to Love triangle Mammon x MC x Lucifer ( MC have to choose one) Mammon "Love" MC and Lucifer "Like" MC, which one of them is the best for MC?
| Love Triangle Shenanigans |
{Lucifer, Mammon x Mc}
Warnings: maybe a little angsty?
A/N: oh man okay this was difficult to write, instead of giving my answer as to who (because you all know i’m in love with Lucifer) I kinda left it open? so it’s up to your interpretation who you want to be with!
- - - -
Honestly you don’t know how it started. How you ended up in a constant battle with yourself.
Mammon was always so kind, in his weird Mammon way. Shouting that you should be with no other than The Great Mammon himself but, when the two of you were alone he was always so soft and gentle with you, like he was afraid the wrong touch or word would brake you. On the other hand, Lucifer. Lucifer was a gentleman. If you didn’t know better you’d certainly mistake mister tall dark and handsome for an angel. He had an obvious bias with you, letting your mishaps slip when others were punished. Both demons, as a result, had clawed their way into your heart and garnishing it with their own imperfections.
Staring down at the letter in hand you knew you had a choice to make. But who to give it to? You’d spent the majority of the day whining away to Asmodeus about your problems, who was more than willing to indulge in juicy gossip.
“Mc, hun, think about it.”
“That’s what I am doing!” You grumbled.
“No. You’re really not.” He sighed, setting down the nail file as he closely examined his nails in the rosey lighting of his room. “Think about who truly cares for you, who’s love runs deeper than their own being. You love them both equally, right? But are you actually IN love with both of them. And are they both in love you.” He hummed to himself.
You nervously turned the envelope over and over as you replayed his words in your mind. At first you didn’t realise what he meant but the more you thought about it the more it became abundantly clear.
Not only did you have to consider your feelings but theirs. Mammon would probably lay his life down for you if you asked. He was always bragging about being your number one, your first. And yet, those times when you chose Lucifer or one of his brothers over him only you could see the hurt flicker in his eyes. Only you noticed his inability to meet your gaze when you asked if he was alright. Of course he’d play it off with a thumbs up and shouting that next time you better choose the great Mammon, that was of course until Lucifer would tell him to shut up.
Mammon was nothing if respectful of your choices and wishes. Even if that meant breaking his heart in the process, and doing so broke your own.
But then there was Lucifer. Although it was much harder to see through Lucifer’s facade than it was Mammon’s, you felt as though you were able to level with him. His constant support and simple gestures a testimony to his courteous attitude towards you. But did he love you?
Like you? Of course. How could he not? You were, are, his favourite human. He would want no other to take your place in the exchange program. But was that just him being kind towards you, a feeble human, or an act of love? Despite it all, you still couldn’t stop the pounding of your heart when his hand directed you by gracing your lower back. Or when he’d give you one of his jaw dropping smiles.
But Mammon… but Lucifer… but…
There you stood. Outside the demon’s room. Fist raised to knock. Heart pounding and words caught in your throat. You were glad that you had decided to pour your heart out into the letter that sat between sweaty palms as the right words to express how you felt were undoubtedly clogged in the back of your throat. You took one deep breath and knocked.
Praying he’d accept it.
