Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Price:
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Length: 8 inches flaccid and 9 erect, NOW HERE ME OUT, he’s 6’0 from what I learned on Google and I mean, do you see and HEAR this man? He’s a captain, he’s got those mutton chops, he’s absolutely got something that slaps his thigh when he walks.
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Width: He’s not skinny, and he’s not split you open girthy, it’s that good median some where between that gives you that good stretch but isn’t painful.
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Color: Price isn’t PALE pale so down south he’s got a little tan to it, his tip is just a bit darker compared to his dick, like if I have to give a hexcode AND I WILL, it’s #D29A7C.
+
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Grooming/Styling: Do you see those mutton chops?? He is neat and tidy, his carpet matches the drapes in a sense of being not messy or anything just neat and all put together.
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Are they curved? Any veins?: VEINS, UGH, you can’t look me in the eyes and tell me he doesn’t got a few veins along the bottom and on the side. A few thick ones that rub just right when riding him, he’s also got not majorly noticeable curve but a slight curve to it.
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Favorite way to use it: He’s a giver, I saw someone say this I wholeheartedly agree, he’s a giver, he likes you riding him and taking it as you please his hands on your hips as you set your pace.
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Prompt:
“There ya go, slow— Oohh— Steady there love.” He breathed out with a slight chuckle, hands finding purchase right on your hips occasionally rubbing down your thighs. “Fuck— Doesn’t matter how many times I ride you I still can’t get over the stretch.” you laughed out as you slowly sank down with his help as he breathed all kinds of praises with that smile on his face.
Eventually you were buried to the hilt deep within him, your velvet heat clutching him, “God knew you could do it— Never fail to impress darling.” Price chuckled before you redirected his hand from your hips to your stomach the slight bulge in your lower catching him off guard, the groan that emitted from his throat was down right dirty. “God damn you know just how to rile me up, I suggest you hold on huh?” He chuckled deeply.
Tumblr media
Ghost:
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Length: 7 flaccid, 8.5 hard, he is big but he’s not BIG, you feel me? He’s got that good even, and you best believe he knows how to use it. I mean hello?? Look at him? Anyways I stand by it, 7 flaccid, 8.5 hard.
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Width: He’s a buff lad because we’re taking mw2/3 ghost with those man tits and big ass arms, he’s definitely thick, split you open thick in a sense.
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Color: With his mask and such I would like to say he’s pale so his dick might be slightly pale as well his tip color though would be slightly darker like, #FAC3B3 & #D69786.
+
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Grooming/Styling: See I like to believe his hair is shorttt beneath his mask so he would also keep it kinda clipped and short not exactly long or like out there, he’d had it pretty maintained like a little scruff maybe.
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Are they curved? Any veins?: Two words, God yes. Curved up just slightly with veins on the underside and one on the front side.
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Favorite way to use it: He seems like the rough types and if he’s busy but needs you so and he’ll face fuck you while your head under his desk.
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Prompt:
His grip was tight on your hair as you allowed him to move your head back and fourth as you braced your hands on his thighs. The obscenely wet sounds of your spit & precum shined lips gliding and wrapped around his cock.
“Look at you— *fuck* — such a mess around my cock huh? Little fuckin’ cocksleeve practically.” Ghost chuckled deeply in his chest as he lowered your mouth fully down onto his length causing a little gag from you as you gripped his thighs and he relished in this groaning at the sight and sound of you gagging around him as more drool spilled from your lips.
Tumblr media
Gaz:
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Length: 6 flaccid but 7.5 erect, he’s got that good even ground not split you open or good lord how is it gonna fit big but enough that he makes you feel that full feeling you can’t get enough of.
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Width: I don’t have a specific like width length in terms of measurements but I’d like to say he’s a good neutral, gives you that good feeling when fucking you.
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Color: #C98767 & #AB6F4F , it’s got a little fade to the mushroom tip, the tip just being a bit darker towards the end.
+
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Grooming/Styling: He’s groomed, his hair is short like short so I’d think he’d keep it pretty much tamed with a little curl to it.
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Are they curved? Any veins?: OOOO, yeah he got veins, more like one up from the bottoms and one on the top that goes into a fork. He’s just a litttleee curved.
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Favorite way to use it: I feel like he likes to take you from the back, he’s a bit of an ass man, maybe some tummy and thighs honestly.
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Prompt:
“God..” Gaz huffed out as his grip on your hips tightened, his gaze trailing down to your ass and the way it bounced everywhere time he thrusted in and out of your velvet heat. He couldn’t help but land a smack to it earning a, ‘Oh!’ From you and a groan from him. “You like that huh? Go on and tell me.” Gaz managed out punctuating the words with thrusts.
Tumblr media
Soap:
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Length: 7 flaccid, maybe 7.5 ish not too big not too small, just the right ish amount for most. Because let’s be honest Soap isn’t big or small, right smack dab in the middle.
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Width: I wanna say, he’s a bit girthy though, not twig thin but maybe the same width of a banana which is usually 1.5 to 2 inches, so take that how you will.
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Color: I feel he’s pale around the base and a little darker to the tip, I don’t have exact set colors for soap because I can’t pin point exactly what colors but think pale to tanner.
+
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Grooming/Styling: I feel like, just by looking at his Mohawk and facial hair look it’s like messy but it’s not overly dramatic or grown out but it isn’t quite buzzed either so like a tamed bush in a sense.
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Are they curved? Any veins?: CURVED AND VEINS, he’s got a vein on the under side curved to the tip and over to the top side slightly, as for curved it curves to the left just slightly and up a teeny bit.
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Favorite way to use it: He’s a thigh & tit guy in my opinion, so, I feel he looovess thigh fucking.
⋆₊˚⊹♡ Prompt:
You HAD been finishing up cleaning the dishes in your favorite PJ’s right before bed until your boyfriend came meandering out…then you found yourself on the bed, on your back, panting softly as you looked at where his cock tip poked out from between your thighs that just couldn’t keep his hands off.
“So..Fucking…Good.” Soap punctuated his words with deep thrusts, pearls of precums catching on your thighs as he thrusted.

Hi! I would love to participate in your 200 followers event if I may? I want to request: Yellow - by Coldplay with Kenma please :3 thank you so much! And congratulations once again! ❤️❤️
Love,
Suzy
AHHH yes ofc!! and ty :)  i’m so sorry this took so long, but it’s here and i hope you enjoy it <33
i literally looked up a chart of the stars in tokyo from april 2016 (it gave me a random year idk either) for this fic to make it as accurate as possible, but i realized that i don’t really know how to read a star chart so if you happen to know a lot abt stars and where you can see certain constellations, pls forgive me for any inaccuracies k thx <3
(...also if you follow my side blog, you’ll find that a couple of the constellations/stars i chose weren’t random and picked as a little haha moment) 
gn!reader, fluff fluff fluff, this might be one of my favourite things ever??
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
you know i love you so // look at the stars, look how they shine for you and all the things that you do
“c’mon, kenma! hurry up!” 
“i’m coming, i’m coming just hold on one second,” your boyfriend grumbled a few meters down the hill you were standing on top of. you ignored his teasing remarks about patience being a virtue. 
it was date night and you got to choose the activity this time. you tried to keep it a secret for as long as you could, appeasing your boyfriend’s worries with lots of don’t worry, you’ll like it i promise!’s throughout the week. 
but the second you pulled out your designated picnic blanket and told him to get in the car, he knew immediately what you had planned for the night. 
when he was finally closer to the top of the hill (which was located in a park about 45 minutes from your apartment, just outside the city, but the trip was made longer by you insisting on getting take out for the excursion), he looked up at you and took in a sharp breath.
the way the moonlight was hitting your skin, making your eyes shine brighter than usual, and the backdrop of the stars sparkling behind you... if he could take a mental picture and store it away to remember in perfect detail later, he would. he was in awe of your entire being. 
(which wasn’t exactly a new feeling for him, but it was definitely worth noting that it was ten times more intense in that moment.) he wondered everyday how he managed to get someone like you to love him as much as he loved them.
he watched as you turned around and started to set the blanket down brows furrowing at the wrinkles that remained. setting the pillows down in the middle, he helped you pull the corners further apart to make the fabric smoother. 
you beamed up at him and kissed his cheek before arranging the pillows and plopping down on top of one, grabbing the bag of take out and setting it out. he followed your lead and sat down with you, happily taking part in the conversation and munching on the food. 
after a while, you both laid back and stared up at the stars. “that one with the three lines spewing from the triangle is camelopardalis. and you see that really bright star off to the right of jupiter? that’s regulus. it’s part of the leo constellation.”
kenma was torn between falling asleep to the sound of your voice, looking at the stars you were pointing out or looking at you. he was certain that you’d pout if he fell asleep in the middle of your date, so he decided on splitting his time between the other two.
he really did admire the stars, even more so since he started dating you. whenever you went stargazing with him, you tried to make sure the stars would be in a different position so you could show him “a new sky every time” as you put it. 
“i know it must be boring for someone who doesn’t really stargaze as a hobby,” you said sheepishly on your second stargazing excursion, a few months after the first one but already a year into the relationship. “but i think that even if you’re not into it, you can’t deny that looking up at the night sky without any city lights is a beautifully surreal experience.”
being there alone might be more daunting to him than surreal, looking up and feeling so insignificant in the universe compared to the dark expanse of the clear night sky, but as long as you were there to look up with him, he agreed. he didn’t feel small. it certainly was surreal. 
because for some reason when you were apart, they didn’t shine as bright. even as a teenager when he would walk home with kuroo from late night practices, he didn’t remember them ever being so intense. 
he knew it was because of the light pollution that came with being in the city, but he did also consider the possibility that it was all because of you. 
you, who could convince him to get out of the city for moments like these, moments where the stars actually would appear brighter because of something you did. 
you, who definitely deserved the stars’ best performance- you were special enough in his eyes and he hoped whatever higher power had your favourite pass time in their domain saw it too. 
you, who lit up his world like the stars lit up the night sky.
you, you, you...
“i love you,” he interrupted what you were saying completely on accident. he hadn’t meant to let it slip, but he couldn’t help it after seeing the reflection of the moonlight in your eyes again. the excited look on your face as you kept naming stars and constellations. 
you turned to face him, a shy expression appearing. 
a small smile formed on his lips. 
“i love you too, kenma.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the ending is a bit bleh but other than that, i really like this one.

Hi this is a very late submission to @ninjago-oc-appreciation oc swap!
My blog to write for was @the-painted-siren and their characters!
(This is so late I’m so sorry ahhh)
——————
Where fools roam, Chaos reigns.
——————
The day started off slow. Dragging himself out from the comfort of his bed, Calem’s thoughts were muddled as he got dressed for the day. He wasn’t sure what, but he felt as though he was forgetting something important.
The feeling nagged at him long after the fog in his mind cleared, an answer just on the tip of his tongue that he couldn’t quite place. Sitting down to eat breakfast was when an answer arrived for him, knocking at his door.
Opening it, he was somewhat surprised to be met with two familiar faces. One a full head shorter than him with platinum blond hair and thick brown roots, emerald cat like eyes sparkled with energy. The other slightly taller, with a split dye of silver and black hair braided off to the side, a set of ruby contacts glimmering.
“Lloyd? Lyra? What are you guys doing here?”
Lyra scoffed and rolled her eyes. “I told you he would forget.” She commented to Lloyd, as the blond huffed while passing her a five dollar bill.
The two let themselves in, scooting past Calem, and Lloyd not so subtly snatched up a slice of toast from the ready made plate on the table.
“Hey! If you're gonna steal my food, at least give me a straight answer as to why you guys showed up at…” he looks at the clock on the wall “7 in the morning?? Neither of you two are up this early, even on a good day.”
He raised his eyebrow at the two as they both shared chuckles and hushed whispers. Finally, Lyra decided to have mercy on him.
“Don’t you know what today is?”
“Uhhhh….” So what if he was a master of time? That didn’t magically make him better at remembering dates.
His hesitation spoke volume as Lloyd dramatically slumped over in mock devastation. “How could you, Cal! You would forget such a momentous occasion!?”
The gears in his head were stuttering like they were rusted shut until it finally clicked.
“Ohhhh…. It’s anniversary day, isn’t it?”
The other two standing in front of him burst into laughter, clearly taking much enjoyment in his suffering.
“About time! A full year of dating and somehow your memory is still garbage.” Lloyd jokes.
“I’m not even sure I have any tea on hand that would fix that.” Lyra adds on.
“Ok ok-“ Calem interrupts, face flushed with embarrassment. “Now that you’ve had your laugh, do we have any plans for today?”
At that question, Lloyds face shifted into a devious smirk. “Oh nothing much. But it just so happens that the rest of the team is staying at the monastery for the whole day, completely relaxed and not expecting any mischief whatsoever.”
Calem briefly gawked at his partner, turning to Lyra in confusion. “Arnt you supposed to be the smart one among the three of us? How did he get you to do this?”
At that, his other partner shrugged. “What can I say, he’s pretty convincing.”
“Cmon, Calem!” Lloyd pushes his shoulder. “We have the whole day to ourselves, but it’s nothing but yuck outside.” He gestures over to the window, where gray clouds gathered densely above the city.
“If we can’t go out, we might as well have some fun indoors!”
“I dunno..”
“Kai will be perfectly unsuspecting-“ Lloyd teases.
“I’m in.” Calem immediately agrees. After all, he has made it his life mission to annoy the fire ninja to his grave.
“Wow, you were right, it really was that easy.” Lyra comments.
—————
It was a quiet afternoon at the monastery.
Too quiet in Kai’s opinion.
Maybe it was just his paranoia acting up, but he swears that there was something about today that he forgot.
He’d brought it up to Nya, but she had dismissed him, saying something like “your just wound up too tight. Go blow off some steam.” Before returning to her workbench and tinkering away at some sort of mechanism.
Lloyd had plans out in the city for the day, and the other three ninja were all in the living room watching the new star fairer spinoff. Maybe he was being overly cautious.
Kai sighed and entered the kitchen, intending to grab a bag of chips before joining the others.
Of course, that's assuming he could get into the kitchen.
Distracted, he didn’t see the plastic wrap encasing the door frame until he smacked face first into it. He sputtered in disbelief, moving to try and tear down the ridiculous prank.
The plastic gave way easily as he stomped into the kitchen, now wary of any other tricks in hidden corners. From what he could see, there wasn’t anything else obvious.
Looks like some of the guys have been practicing their crappy senses of humor. He thought. Prepared to meet the others in the living room and give them a piece of his mind, Kai quickly flipped open the pantry to retrieve a bag of tortilla chips.
That was a mistake.
A small bottle of a foul smelling liquid tipped over into another bottle, the contents dyed green and suspiciously smelling of soap.
Kai had a split second to remember some obscure trend that Lloyd had shown him with something called “elephant toothpaste” before the result literally exploded in his face.
————
Jay, Cole, and Zane were just in the middle of criticizing the quality of the latest starfairer spinoff when’s loud shout came from the kitchen.
“Was that Kai?” Zane asked as Jay and Cole were already on their feet, rushing to the hallway. Jay made it out the doorway first, which might have been a poor choice.
The moment his foot made contact with the hallway floor, he knew something was wrong. His theory quickly proved to be correct as the spot where his foot landed quickly became the only spot he could stand, stuck firmly in place.
A noise of confusion came from behind him as he turned to Cole and Zane, seemingly not stuck and looking down at the floor with stupor.
“What is it-?” Jay was in the middle of asking before turning his own gaze to the ground to see…
Fly traps. Dozens of bright yellow fly traps were laid out on the floor. Jay just so happened to be standing directly ontop of one.
“Oh you’ve gotta be kidding me-“
—————
“What the heck is going on???” Nya shouted, emerging from her room to several commotions occurring in the halls. She turned to her left to see Cole race past her, a neon yellow piece of paper trailed behind him from the cuff of his pants.
She looked further down the hall to see Zane precariously tiptoeing through what looked like a minefield of the same paper, Jay even further behind him trying desperately to unstick himself from some invisible force.
She quickly turned to the direction Cole was running to see him meet Kai at the doorway to the kitchen, though you could barely tell who it was underneath the mountain of green foam that covered him from head to toe.
Silently, her mind clicked together the pieces and realized what was happening when another shout drew her attention. She quickly raced past a snickering Cole and a grumpy Kai trying desperately to remove the soapy substance.
Nya finally turned the corner of the monastery to see green eyes furrowed in frustration. Under a mountain of rainbow glitter was Pixal, her girlfriend.
“Pix! Are you ok?” Nya approached, stifling a few chuckles at the cute huffs the nindroid was releasing. “There is a reason why I feared to frequent the monastery on this day of all days.”
“Yeah, sorry for calling you out here. I just remembered myself.” Nya apologized.
“Wait, what’s today?” She heard her brothers voice question. Turning around, she could see the remains of several pranks on the four other ninja.
Kai and Coke were both covered in remains of the green soap, seeping into their clothes and probably leaving permanent stains. Zane, while making it through the glue trap unscathed, seemed to have run into a separate trap on his way through the halls, now covered in what distinctly smelt of soy sauce. Jay seemed to have the worst of it, covered in several sheets of neon yellow fly traps from head to toe.
Three sets of laughs drew the groups attentions as they looked to the side, towards a door that led into the monastery courtyard. From the doorframe, three figures stood cackling and shaking with laughter.
“It’s your anniversary, isn’t it?” Nya asked matter o factly to the trio of Lloyd, Calem, and Lyra.
“Mayybeeee” Lloyd teased in between giggles.
Kai was inches away from launching himself at the three before Nya strode across the hall and grabbed him by the arm.
“Pix, I trust you know what to do from here.” She gave her most menacing smile to the three in the doorway, their laughter suddenly cut short and replaced by looks of horror. Her lovely robot girlfriend mirrored her smile, also turning to the three. “Of course I do.”
Dragging her brother off in her iron grip away from the whails of teenage agony as the pranksters were assigned their various clean up duties, Nya pulled Kai into the laundry room.
Before Kai could sputter off a word of indignation, Nya threw a pair of clean clothes at him. “You’d better change. Master of fire or not, those ‘elephant toothpaste’ experiments generate a lot of chemical heat, and it’ll leave nasty burns if you keep those on.”
Kai muttered under his breath as he tossed off his sullied garments. “Why didn’t you let me give them a piece of my mind! Little pranks are one thing, but those guys could have endangered themselves and us if an emergency happened.”
As Kai prattled on, Nya set a hand on his shoulder. “But nothing did happen. Plus, how often can you say you’ve seen Lloyd smile like that.”
That got the brunette to shut up, turmoil clear on his face. Nya sighed. “Look, I know you have some issues with Calem, and maybe you think those three are getting themselves into trouble more often than not, but they’re all practically adults. They deserve to make their own decisions.”
Nya chuckled “And if they get in over their heads, that’s when we can swoop in and give them a piece of our minds.” At that, Kai chuckled along.
“I- I guess your right. I haven’t see Lloyd this happy since Sensei Garmadon.”
Nya nudged him on the shoulder. “When am I not right? Anyway, get your stuff together so you can come watch those brats clean up the mess they made. I know I’m making popcorn.”
Kai laughed out loud. “Ok ok. Now scram so I can find some actual clothes instead of the pair of pajamas you just handed me.”
Nya just shrugged “thought you’d want to lay down after all that excitement, old man.”
She laughed as Kai pelted his shirt toward her playfully.
In the hallway, Nya watched fondly as Lloyd and his partners in crime jokes and laughed with eachother, peeling the remaining glue traps off of the floor.

It’s now February 2nd 2023, which means that I officially revealed my fan project Pokémon Kaleidoscope exactly two years ago. Here’s a group pic to celebrate the occasion, as well as finally some info on what will happen next in the project and how things are progressing.
The most important thing first:
POKÉMON KALEIDOSCOPE THE WEBCOMIC IS STARTING NEXT YEAR, 2024!
Or at least I hope so! Things are subject to change of course since I still have a lot of prep work to be done, but that’s the goal right now.
If you’re only now hearing about this project, check out the tag #Pokemon Kaleidoscope on my blog.
Rest of the info is under read more so that this won’t get too long fjjfjdf.
Continues here...
I did try to keep it compact. Kinda failed. But I decided to try to do it anyway. It might take a while but I can do it. *Deep breath*
Rough outline was finished last summer. Detailed outline is 54 % done. I’ve completed writing the beginning into about 11 % of the planned length of the story, as well as the last 18 %. (Or completed as much as needed for now, I mostly come up with exact dialogue in the storyboarding stage) Then there are some complete parts in the middle. But overall, I’ve planned what goal every scene has but there are still a lot of scenes that I’m not sure how I should go about.
I also decided to split the comic into two equally sized parts and I’m focusing on writing and making part 1 first. So there’s going to likely be a break between the parts. Kinda like a break between tv seasons.
I’ve also storyboarded about 7 % into the planned length of part 1, and I have some sketched or ready pages that are not all part of the storyboards bringing the total amount of planned or ready content to 13 % into part 1. I’m planning on at least making as many storyboards first as possible even if I finish writing before next year, because those take very little time but once I have them it should be much easier to update the comic regularly.
That’s all for now! I hope you will follow Jaylee, Aven, Kitt and Zue’s journey through the Lona region once it actually starts! ^__^

A3! Hyodo Juza - Translation [R] Guardian of Peace (2/2)
Tumblr media
*Please read disclaimer on blog
---
Muku: It looks like Shift-kun is looking for something with someone…
Juza: That guy might be Shift’s little bro that Kumon mentions once in a while. Anyways, should I try callin’ out to them?
Tumblr media
Muku: Sure.
Juza: Oi, Shift.
Shift: Ah, Juza-san! Oh, and Muku-san too. Long time no see!
Tumblr media
Muku: Long time no see, Shift-kun. That boy over there is your younger brother…
Shift: Yep! My little brother, Oruto. I guess Kumon has mentioned him?
Juza: Yeah. More importantly, did somethin’ happen? It looks like you’re searching for something.
Shift: Yeah. Actually, Oruto dropped our house key. It’s my fault too though. I’m the one who left it in his hands for a lil bit.
Muku: So that’s what happened. And he dropped it around here?
Shift: Mhm. Oruto said he heard a “clink” around here, so he thought that might’ve been the sound of the key falling.
Juza: I see. I’ll help you guys look.
Muku: Me too! You two will be in trouble if you can’t get inside your house.
Shift: Thanks, guys! That helps a bunch.
Juza: It’s better if we split up. Muku, you have a look around here with Shift. I’ll meet up with Oruto and search over there.
Muku: Sounds like a plan!
-pause-
Juza: Oruto. Do you think the key’s there?
Tumblr media
Oruto: Hm? Are you a friend of my brother’s?
Juza: Yeah. I heard you might’ve dropped your key around this area.
Oruto: Yeah… I think it’s close by. But it might be around here, or it might be where aniki is…
Juza: …By the looks of it, it ain’t over here. Have you already had a look at the spot where there’s several gaps in the sidewalk?
Oruto: Gaps? No, not yet…
Juza: ‘Kay, let’s go. The key will be hard to see if it’s in the shadows, so we might have some more luck there.
Oruto: Okay!
-pause-
Shift: I doubt it’s over here…
Muku: I agree. I wonder if Ju-chan and Oruto-kun have found it yet?
Tumblr media
Shift: It looks like they’re searching a little farther ahead than where they were earlier.
Muku: Let’s head over to them for now!
-pause-
Muku: Ju-chan!
Juza: Muku? How’d it go? Did you find the key?
Tumblr media
Muku: No… What about you two?
Juza: We haven’t either—.
Oruto: There it is!
Juza: !
Muku: Are you sure, Oruto-kun!?
Oruto: Yep! Look here, aniki! This is it!
Shift: Whew~. Thank God it was actually there~!
Muku: Now you don’t have to worry.
Oruto: It’s all because this onii-san told me there were a bunch of gaps in the sidewalk.
Juza: Nah. I just happened to spot them as I passed by. I’m glad you found it.
Oruto: Yeah, thanks!
Shift: I seriously owe you one, Juza-san, Muku-san. Catch ya later!
Muku: See you!
Juza: …The sun’s settin’ already. We should start heading back too.
Muku: Lead the way.
-pause-
Juza: Sorry for draggin’ you along with me into all those things.
Muku: Not at all! You were so cool reaching out to those in need! You were just like a real policeman!
Tumblr media
Juza: You think…? All I did was lend a hand to some folks in trouble.
Muku: But policeman at neighbourhood police stations approach the locals and help them out, right? Your drive around town worked out perfectly to prepare for your role.
Juza: …I hope so. Actually, I was plannin’ to go touring with Omi-san today. But a sudden job came up so he couldn’t make it.
Muku: Oh, really? So you invited me?
Juza: I was thinkin’ of going by myself at first, but Omi-san told me police patrols are usually done in pairs. Then I called out to you. But you acted just like my partner, so that helped a lot.
Muku: Ehehe. I’m happy if you say so. I also got to accomplish my three good deeds in one day, so I ought to thank you too. I appreciate that you reached out to me.
Juza: I’m glad I invited you if you found it useful too.

Hello everyone!
Thank you all so much for voting on the poll! It gave me a feel of what you guys wanted when it came to asks and the upcoming comic!
While the poll was pretty fairly split, there were more people favoring that I keep the comic on this blog, so that’s what I am going to do!
Here are all of my official plans:
- The comic will be hosted here. I don’t have a definite schedule yet. Being completely honest, this is my first time doing a comic (I’ve experimented in the past, but nothing ever really got off the ground). This story has pretty strong planning so I will try to update at least once a month. I’ll create a more official schedule later on!
- If I ever go on hiatus, I will pin a hiatus post to the top of the blog. Hiatuses will usually be due to family/work related conflicts or vacations. If there is a hiatus posted, please do not send asks about when I will be back. You can ask if I’ll be back on the hiatus post, but I’d rather keep questions like that out of my ask box.
- I’m going to retcon (sorta) the first two asks on this blog. They are still relevant, but mostly to later in the story. So asks should be based on the current timeline (spoiler: don’t send asks about the prologue unless it’s to the OOC, because they likely won’t be answered til muuuuch later).
- While asks will still be answered, the comic will take priority over asks unless they are asks for the OOC (me).
- This entire comic is an experiment for me! Meaning I might change up my style, how I do backgrounds, panels, etc. Please understand that this comic is mostly for me to have fun with it and share the story, so artistic consistency might sway! That being said, I might make changes if I find a way to produce comics faster but still keeping the level of quality that I find to be appropriate. It’s all up in the air, but I hope you’ll stick around!
- I’ve already finished the prologue (it’s a bit short, but that’s intentional just to give readers a taste), but I will not release it until I’ve finished the first scene of Chapter 1. I want to keep a buffer of one scene between posting when possible. Meaning, scene 1 will release after I finish scene 2, and so on!
- Any additional side art of the characters will be posted on my regular account @rising-in-the-ash! I might repost it onto this account if I feel like it.
- It should be noted that I don’t plan to make any money off of this comic! I’m doing this for fun! I’m an adult with a job and other responsibilities, so my real life will take priority (this shouldn’t be too shocking lol). Also, making money off of a property I didn’t technically create has some legally grey ickyness. If you want to support me, you can commission me!
If you read all of this, bless you, I know this was long! I’m very excited to share this story with you all and I hope you will enjoy it!
Thanks for reading!

Final Chain of Thorns Predictions!
This is SPOILER FREE - I have managed to avoid all of the spoilers that leaked early!
This is my last post before getting the kindle book at midnight and logging off until I finish… I’ll see you all on the other side 🫡
And happy book birthday, Chain of Thorns! We’ve all been waiting for a long time (I started this blog in 2016… who knew it would take until 2023 to get the final book?!)
As a quick note, I will be using the tags #chain of thorns spoilers and #chot spoilers after I finish the book, and I will continue using the tags for the next month!
Without further ado, here are my final predictions (split by category):
Overall Plot:
Belial will be more desperate in this book than the other two to see his plan succeed. He is going to do something much bigger than we’ve seen before.
I think Belial will either a) unleash his shadow monsters through to Gate to Nowhere into London while our heroes are isolated there alone, or b) pull our heroes into another realm (a shadowy version of London) and unleash a massive invasion on them there
We know the truth about Tessa, James, and Lucie’s connection to Belial will come out. I believe the Herondale’s will be punished for this and lose access to the institute (but I think they’ll get it back in the end).
We also know something will happen with the artifacts found in Jesse’s coffin in SoBH (James’ gun, Cordelia’s scabbard, Jesse’s sword). I have no idea why these ended up there, but we know something bad happened at least with the gun (remember Tessa’s traumatic reaction to it and the way she stepped in front of Mina?) I think James is going to shoot someone (either accidentally or be forced to if someone is possessed/being controlled by Belial/etc.) and even if it’s not fatal I think it will be traumatic. I know a lot of people think he will shoot Lucie (maybe to protect Cordelia), and while the thought breaks my heart it does explain Tessa’s reaction.
Speaking of Jesse’s sword, I think he will use it to kill Tatiana. It was foreshadowed that Jesse would kill her in the ChoG prologue (remember Lucie’s game, that he’d cut off his evil stepmother’s head?) and I really think he will have to be the one to do it, because he’s the only character with a little sympathy for her (although Grace could also be the one to take her down I suppose!)
As for the chess metaphor… honestly, the way I see this going down is Belial vs. Lilith, using the different characters as their pawns. Lilith has Cordelia as her paladin, and I highly suspect that Lucie will somehow fall under Belial’s control (remember the snippet where Jesse said what Lucie did raising him made her more vulnerable to Belial?) I think Cordelia and Lucie might have to fight one another (under their respective demon’s control) and James might have to shoot one of them. Imagine the angst!! (Also side thought: maybe shooting Cordelia with the gun would break her connection to Lilith?)
Contrary to popular belief, I actually don’t think Matthew will die! I could see him sacrificing himself (getting stuck in Faerie, perhaps, or staying behind in another realm) or perhaps getting turned into a vampire (although I think this is too obvious now that Cassie has teased it so much). However, I do think he will be the character to stay alive and carry over into TWP!
Character Deaths:
Tatiana - I don’t really see a version where she survives this. If she somehow survives I think she’ll have her marks stripped and/or end up in prison in the Silent City for life.
Sona - A popular theory, but unfortunately I think it’s likely. There have already been so many hints that Sona is not doing well and will not survive the birth of Baby Carstairs. I hope I’m wrong about this though!
A Gabrily Kid - I HATE THIS, but I think they are the most likely of our “main cast” to be killed. Sophie and Gideon already lost Barbara, and losing Eugenia would not have the same emotional toll (we don’t know her as well as Anna and Christopher). I don’t think Matthew will die either (Cassie already killed one alcoholic, and it wouldn’t be an uplifting message if neither of them manages to recover/lead fulfilling lives) so it will have to be Anna or Christopher. BUT I HOPE I’M WRONG
Grace - Okay I hate this a little less than the one above, but I still hate it. I feel like it’s cheap writing for her “redemption arc” to end with death, especially for a character whose story is already so morally gray. It’s also a little misogynistic, but that’s a whole long conversation (the gist though: men who make “morally gray” mistakes are easily forgiven, women who do the same are often only redeemed with death).
One of the TID gang: I don’t think so, but I could see her writing off Gideon or Henry (PLEASE NO)
Romantic Endgames:
James/Cordelia - will definitely end up together. I believe they will both survive, decide to stay married, and continue the Herondale line that eventually leads to Jace.
Matthew/Cordelia - might have a brief thing together at the start of the book, but Matthew’s alcoholism/Cordelia’s feelings for James will quickly interfere. I don’t think this will last long, if it happens at all.
Lucie/Jesse - my faves! I’m 99.99% sure they will end up together and maybe about 70% sure that their line will lead to the current LA Blackthorns. I do think there is a chance that they will be exiled, but I really don’t want to see that happen to them.
Thomas/Alastair - I’m also 99.99% sure that they will both survive and get together by the end. I could see them raising Baby Carstairs if Sona passes away; if not, I’m sure they will adopt kids of their own!
Christopher/Grace - I love the potential, but I’m worried Christopher and/or Grace could be killed during the book. If they both survive, I think there’s about a 60 - 70% chance of this one happening?
Anna/Ariadne - Again, I’m not sure if Anna will survive. If she does, I do think they will end up together!
Future Generations:
James/Cordelia - I am certain they continue the Herondale line through their son Owen, and that line will eventually lead to Jace.
Lucie/Jesse - I see two possibilities for their line. The first is that it eventually leads to the TDA Blackthorns in LA; the other is that their line leads to the Blackthorn “cousins” we hear about but never see in TDA. In SoBH, Great Aunt Marjorie leaves her main house to one of these unnamed cousins; a lot of people think Marjorie could be Lucie and Jesse’s daughter (because Marjorie = the English version of Margaret, and what is the nickname for Margaret? That’s right, Daisy… we all know Lucie would do this in a heartbeat), so it would make sense that she would leave her main house to a “direct descendant” (probably a grand-niece or -nephew here) rather than a relation from the other line of Blackthorns. If this is the case, we can think of the Blackthorns as two separate lines; there are the Cornwall Blackthorns (Annabel, Felix, that Sticky-Hands guy James and Lucie talk about, etc. etc. all the way down to Andrew and his children) and the Leeds Blackthorns (Rupert, Jesse, down to these unnamed cousins today). If this is the case, hopefully we can meet these other Blackthorns in TWP!
Thomas/Alastair - I believe they will adopt Baby Carstairs (and perhaps some other children too), but I think Baby Carstairs will be a boy and Emma will come from his line.
Christopher/Grace - On the CP2 family tree (I KNOW, I KNOW), their line eventually leads to Alec and Izzy. However, I think Alec and Izzy could also come from Alexander - hence Alec’s name.
Anna/Ariadne - I really, really hope they end up together and adopt children, especially because Ariadne dreams of being a mother - I want her to fulfill that dream while still being true to her authentic self!
Connection to TDA/TWP:
Okay, so my big theory for TWP (for years!) has been that all the characters will have to come back to fight the big threat (maybe all of the princes of hell working together and attacking at once?) Perhaps the TID/TLH characters are raised as the consequence of these attacks/threats, or maybe they just come back briefly to fight? Maybe Lucie or Livvy or someone with ~ghost powers~ has something to do with it? Either way, we NEED this to happen. I scream about it all the time, but the POTENTIAL.
If Lucie and Jesse’s line leads to these unnamed Blackthorn cousins, I think they will come into play in TWP.
Those are all my theories for now! Happy reading all 🫶

There were SO MANY fics for @hprarepairfest this year (56!). Trying to keep up with the fest was like drinking from a rarepair firehose. I’m splitting my rec list into three: Bratty Femmes, Angsty Boys* and Giggles with Gilderoy*  (*and others). This specific rec list is 90% Narcissa and Pansy having great sex and making bad decisions. 
Absolute favorites marked with **
Femslash:
**Looking For A Complication by @the-wig-is-a-metaphor (Ginny/Narcissa, 8k, M)
"Mother, when I said you should get out more," Draco shouts, "I did not mean you should have an illicit affair with a scandalously younger woman!"
I already made a whole rec post for this one. Humor, heart, heat. The fic has it all. One of my new all-time favorites. 
This Regret We've Got Accustomed To by mouldy_voldy (Il_Valentino)(Astoria/Pansy, 1.5k, E) 
“He may be my best friend, but you are the fucking love of my life,” Pansy snarls against her lips and then closes the distance. The kiss is more teeth and want than anything, but her lips are just as Astoria remembers, the taste of her enough to induce euphoria. She can’t remember ever wanting anything as much as she wants this. Pansy won't let her forget.
Little fic packs a (very sexy) punch. Pansy is SO HOT in this. 
Fate & Jupiter by thewakeless (Parvati/Lavender & Padma/Katie, 25k, T)
Padma and Parvati might not agree on everything, but they know one thing for sure, they’re both ready for a change. Padma is worn out from her Ministry job, and Parvati is tired of pining after Lavender 24/7. So, they decide to open up a potion shop in Hogsmeade but of course nothing goes quite as planned because you can’t stop fate, and you certainly can’t stop Jupiter.
Or wholesome double getting together wlw with strong winter vibes
Bit of a stretch to include this in bratty femmes but it was so darling, and Lavender is very much a femme and a bit of a brat in this in a lovely way. Wholesome and very queer, and I now have a crush on butch Katie Bell.
Het:
**Your Cigarette Smell by @lumosatnight​ (Sirius/Narcissa, 10k, E)
It’s easy, she thinks.
Falling into each other while their family falls apart. Lips connecting while other connections fizzle away. Losing themselves to pleasure while the rest of the world grows lost to war.
Bodies sliding together as months slide by.
It's exactly what I love about Sirius/Narcissa - the sense of desire and shame and duty and fury and hate and love! And the tragedy of it all! I loved how the author wove together the nonlinear narrative, which gave the fic a haunted and inevitable quality - very doomed lovers bound by fate vibes.
Table For Two by maeshowers (Sirius/Pansy, 3k, E)
Pansy isn't having a good time at Draco and Hermione's wedding. Neither is Sirius. Maybe copious amounts of alcohol and a good fuck could change that.
It’s fun, and it’s hot, and it’s Pansy/Sirius. I love a messy friend group full of ex’s (because I am a lesbian), and I absolutely adore how much of a brat Pansy is here: “I led your godson on for months because I wanted to fuck his wife." Incredible!
Disparities by @mean-whale-writes (Remus/Narcissa, 2k, E)
As much as he sometimes tried to spin the truth into something more palatable, he enjoyed the immorality of fucking the enemy.
Hot and dangerous and unexpected - perfect for rarepair fest!
Slash recs on their way in the “angsty boys” category :)

one of my goals for 2022 is to do more fic recs with pretty banners so here is my first!
Did You Miss Me? by @krethes and Fantismal
Fully written and will be 600k (!!). Wolfstar + Jily + other side pairings.
It’s a text fic for grownups. It’s a text fic and university AU and celebrity AU that I love and am fully invested in, which is utterly shocking to me as someone who generally avoids all of those things. You’ve got a hilarious cast of characters who love to text smutty, gossip-y things AND you have the promise of Big Plot and Big Black Family Trauma on its way.
You’re going to want to follow along with this one!
Check it out, mind the tags (like seriously, mind the tags) and subscribe <3

Acting Out (Molly Prewett/Narcissa Black, 2k, M)
Narcissa’s to-do list for the evening:
Drink enough champagne she forgets she ever had more than one sister. 
Make someone cry. (Does not count if it’s herself.) 
Be told she is the most beautiful woman at the party. (Preferably by multiple people.)
Have sex that would scandalise her parents. (If they would even pay attention.)
Day 9: @kinkuary’s age gap + @hpshipuary’s Molly/Narcissa + Fluffbruary’s stiletto + Femslash Feb’s vintage. 
cw: underage, dub con due to deception and underage. 
AN: Molly is fat, and Narcissa is into it, but Narcissa’s also 16 and a vain, judgmental bitch, and some of her narration might cross the line into both being fetishizing and stigmatising. This is also slightly canon-divergent as in this universe Molly has not yet married Arthur at age 21.

breaking my no 500+ kudos rule for this series of fic recs for my all time top drarry
Super Rich Kids by @thusspoketrish​ (81k, E, Drarry)
Draco Malfoy has become disillusioned by the glitz and glamour of the scandalous lives of the Post-Second Wizarding War Pureblood Elite. Enter: one existential crisis, one group of thieving cynical friends, and several terrible, terrible decisions.
Post-war Drarry with major (deliberate) Bright Lights Big City + Gossip Girl + Cruel Intentions + Bling Ring vibes. Of course I’m obsessed. The author manages to excel at the mood, plot, characterization, angst, world-building, sex, AND humor??? Is there anything the author can't do?? I cannot emphasize enough how this fic has EVERYTHING. Do mind the tags, as always.
It’s hot and dark and hilarious and moving. Draco with a coke habit and a heart is everything. Good guy Harry (through Draco’s biased eyes) is also everything. And a stunning, classic fanon!Pansy, my beloved. Plus, there’s Sprinkles the dog, who is the star of the show. (The dog lives, if you were worried.) 
This line has haunted me since I’ve read it:
"Draco knows he’s not a good person, and will never be good enough for Harry.
He’s right where he should be."
Read it on Ao3 so you can be equally haunted <3

Empires Season 2 Day 1 Recap!
Hello and welcome to the Empires Recap! I kinda fell off this blog due to school but hopefully I can keep this up for Season 2! Individual Episode Recaps will hopefully be out within the next few days, and will also be linked here one they are done. I’ll also have a playlist on YT if you want to watch the episodes in chronological order, which you can check out here.
The way this is formatted is Major Events will be covered first with a title and a color. Each episode uploaded will have a brief summary with a (eventual) link to the slightly more individualized in-depth summary. The major events reference will be colored and referred to by their title so I’m not rehashing the same event 10 separate times.
So with that stuff out of the way, let’s cover all the Episode 1s that dropped on Saturday, June 25th and (for Joey) Sunday June 26th.
Spoilers for Episode 1s of everyone below the cut. Long post up ahead.
Major Event - The Intro
Episodes it can be found in: Pixlriffs, Sausage, Jimmy, Shubble and Joey
Everyone gathered at Spawn around a campfire and fWhip welcomed in the new season. Lizzie points out an empty seat and Joey wishes someone was there to fill it. False appears and they welcome her to the circle. Everyone than splits off.
Major Event - The Dragonless End
Episodes it can be found in: Pixl (partial), Gem, Lizzie, Sausage, fWhip, Shubble, Joel and Joey
fWhip calls people together and everyone but Scott arrives at his base. He says the stronghold has already been filled in though nobody has been to the End. He says he wants help investigating it. Pixl says they should but Jimmy is skeptic, wondering if they should. Mostly because most of the group is in Iron Armor still and if it could be a trap. Joey accuses it of possibly being a Lizzie trap due to the events of Afterlife. She denies it or anything being suspicious of her. The group all go in and see that they portal is lit. One by one they jump in, save for Joey who is pushed by fWhip.
In the End, everyone quickly prepares for a fight before realizing there is no dragon. There is a lot of scrambling because people looked at endermen. They think it might be Scott but they dismiss the idea quickly, saying it’s not his style. It also can’t be any of them, since Sausage points out they all got the [The End?] achievement. fWhip apologizes for bringing them all there for nothing and people begin to head home.
Individual Episodes (In Upload Order*)
*If two people uploaded at the same time, they will be counted in the order they appeared in my sub box on YouTube.
Pixl’s Episode:
Individual Recap
Pixl recounts the history of the region before showing the Intro. He is settled into a Savannah biome before going caving with fWhip. He then proceeds to explain his plan for the season while making a storage system. He then doing some enchanting. The rest of the episode covers The Dragonless End, but cuts off after the group discovers there is no dragon.
Gem’s Episode:
Individual Recap
Gem gets some basic Minecraft out of the way before going out with Sausage to find every wood type. She is settled in a valley beneath a mountain just off a stone shore. She gets some crops growing, some animals penned up, and some iron armor. She builds a starter house and explains her concept for the season. FWhip comes around asking about the End, before build a small starter dock for trade. Sausage and Joey come by and the three head off to fWhip’s for the Dragonless End.
Lizzie’s Episode:
Individual Recap
Lizzie settles in a birch forest. She collects a sheep as the founding member and build it and her a tent with a tent. She also breeds a fox to kill chickens for food in its own tent. To do this, she goes caving for redstone and trades with Joel for the quartz after creating a path between them. She then tries to get a baby sneezing panda and some parrots to her empire but they die to a creeper on the way. She builds a trail in memorial. She then shows off the Dragonless End.
Sausage’s Episode:
Individual Recap
Sausage starts off his episode with the Intro, before he goes off with Gem to find every wood. He settles in a bamboo jungle, showing off the area in while teasing his character’s backstory. He builds a dock on the edge of the area. FWhip comes by to ask about Sausage being in the end, which he denies. There is a flashback to earlier when he and fWhip head to a Mangrove forest and raid villages for hay bales. Flash back to the present, Sausage builds a starter house and explains his inspiration for the season. Joey comes by. They then sail off, recruit Gem, and head to the Dragonless End.
Katherine’s Episode:
Individual Recap
Katherine starts by moving from the village she is living in and explaining her backstory. She looks for new land to settle in, raiding an abandon village in the process. She settles in a area between two villages set up by her people. She goes mining for some iron for armor before going to the nether for supplies. She then builds a starter house.
Jimmy’s Episode
Individual Recap
Jimmy’s Episode starts with the Intro, then he goes off and gets basic tools. In doing so he triggers everyone who knows Minecraft by breaking Emerald with a stone pickaxe. He settles in a badlands biome. He raids a village. He goes mining for iron and finds a Sheriff’s hat while exploring the abandon mineshafts. FWhip comes and asks him about being to the End, before joking the others in the Dragonless End. Afterwards, he meets up with Sausage for some spruce wood. He then builds a starter wagon.
False’s Episode
Individual Recap
False wakes in a place unfamiliar to her after having dreams of it before. She heads towards spawn, narrating over the Intro. She initially settles on an island, but later in the episode moves across onto the side of the nearby mountain. She goes mining to gear up, then joins the others in the Dragonless End. She saves several villagers from an already raided village, and spends a healthy amount of time freaking out over frogs. She gathers all of the woods and some cactus from a wandering trader and builds a starter house.
Scott’s Episode
Individual Recap
Scott starts with the Intro before heading off to the Meadow he claimed while doing basic Minecraft. He does some off camera mining and grinding before he raids a desert temple while collecting sand for sandstone. Scott heads to the nether tog get both Nether woods, and dies once in there. He builds his starter house. FWhip comes by asking about the End, which he denies and calls anyone who goes into the End episode 1 a crazy person. He makes a dirt path and pens for his sheep and chickens off camera.
fWhip’s Episode
Individual Recap
fWhip starts out doing basic Minecraft, saying he will build a cave empire this season. He raids several villages for hay and rescues 4 allays from a pillager outpost. He settles in a small cave close to spawn to start that he shows Joel. Later in the episode he moves to a larger dripstone cave. He explores to find all the wood, running into Sausage to help find the Mangrove Swamp. He gets a goat horn and more resources off camera. He goes mining with Pixlriffs where he dies to a creeper. Twice. On his way home he scares Lizzie with the goat horn and see the range on them. He torch spams and walls off an area and builds his starter home. He captures two zombie villagers. He breeds two pandas in the jungle and gets a baby sneezing panda (And yes, it’s the same panda that dies in Lizzie’s episode). He finds the stronghold while strip mining for diamonds and finds the portal lit. He gets diamond armor, does some enchanting, goes to the nether. He asks around and recruits people for the Dragonless End.
Shubble’s Episode:
Individual Recap
Shelby, the witch, starts off her episode being late to the train that will take her to her assignment as a resident witch: the Evermoore (a Mangrove Swamp). She plants a house before joining the others for the Intro. Her house has sprouted when she returns. She helps Joey find his way out of the swamp while also introducing him to her pet toad, which she later names Tortoise. FWhip comes by asking about the End, which Shelby denies going to. She then heads off to help with the Dragonless End. She stops by kKatherine’s, who is opening a shop, and asks to be her first customer. She commissions her for a witch’s hat. She also relegates a mangrove propagule to being her wand until she can get the proper supplies to make one, and makes a mailbox for letters.
Joel’s Episode:
Individual Recap
Joel, a 5’8” human male, does an intro for the series and explains what happened to his last character (I understand the Beans has made a decision, but given it’s a stupid ass decision I’ve elected to ignore it). He shows the aftermath of the Intro, where he is the first death of the season, before Gem also dies. He sees fWhip’s secret cave before settling on the other side of the mountain. He does basic Minecraft, including dying and caving. He goes to the Nether for Quartz and dies. A Lot. And murders a lot of children. He stops and gets full diamond because he kept dying. He finds an Ancient City on his way back but only looks from afar. He goes back into the Nether and dies to a gold flame sword after killing two children. FWhip comes by asking about the End. He scared Katherine with a sign and traded with villagers to get Fortune 1 to put Fortune 3 on his pickaxe (he broke 157 lecterns, that man was DONE). He went back to the Nether for Quartz and collected other materials for his first build, scaring fWhip along the way. He gets a goat horn and trades with Lizzie. He builds a fountain that is the center of the Empire. He wishes that he was tall and strong before jumping in cause he heard it was magic and comes out an 11ft God. He adds sexy to that wish and it gives him a beard. He heads off to the Dragonless End. He then wonders what happens if you throw other stuff in the fountain and chucks in a golden apple. Lore happens but we have to wait until next episode for it.
Joel Death Count: 8
Joey’s Episode:
Individual Recap
Joey shows his backstory and wakes up on the shore with not much to his name. There is a flashback to the Intro. He goes exploring for a place to live, running into Shelby in the process. He finally settles in a small cove next to Sausage. He goes looking for materials when he runs into Sausage at Sausage’s place. Sausage takes him to Gem, and the three meet up with the others in the Dragonless End. Afterwords, he goes with Pixl and Sausage to raid End Cities and look for his crew, but leaves the earliest once he nabs an elytra cause this man has like nothing. He then gets some rockets from fWhip and flies home. His elytra breaks looking for dark oak wood and he stays up several nights looking for gunpowder and phantom membranes. There he builds a starter home.

I do have a question about your Cookie Run paracosm although it has less to do with being game specific and is more general (?), but do you find yourself having to split the paracosm up in order to properly focus on certain parts?
Like in my paracosm, I have things separated by seasons (kinda how it is in game anyway) so I don't overwhelm myself with information and lore.
I will also say that it's a good thing that alot of Cookie Run Lore/gameplay youtube channels exist so I can at least reference some of the older events I missed when I wasn't playing the game!
Was going to answer the other answer in my inbox but this one is more easier for me to get out in a more timely manner, even though I’ve been sitting on these for a while [I have literally like 20 versions of the two main asks in my blog, including this one]
Generally my paracosms do have split ups into certain parts though they’re named differently in each paracosm or part of the mega paracosm. Though I’m trying to rein things in and give each of the names more meaning and streamline things.
So the plan currently is to classify things into:
Arcs - Generally for important arcs like in a lot of things, generally character driven and such.
Eras - This is based on the eras of our world, like the bronze age, middle ages, such. for the timeline of the general paracosm and compared to the mega paracosm
Seasons - [May be renamed] Based on cookie run primarily but categorized “events”, may be changed/split to general “retcon”/”rewrites” of the world. Retcons in the major sense like how skater cookie got retconned out of the crob/”ovenbreak” story.
Year - General categorization of well year. Using the earth’s definition of 365 days generally, but will try to mention any place that doesn’t use the same amount of days.
Seasons [Fall / Winter / Spring / Summer] - it’s the seasons. and it’s my world i use fall instead of autumn loool.
But just generally I split the mega paracosm into little tiny bytes, and tend to adopt abandoned projects to the lore. 
[When I post the other ask, feel free to ask about specific stuff about the paras mentioned there. But feel free to just ask for now any cookie run based events, cutscenes, characters and such (please mention what game, there’s a lot of overlap between the various cookie run games) or for fun if anyone wants to give a random au idea and I might write something]
just generally feel free to ask, gonna also rb this on my [hopefully] more organized blog for asking abt my paracosms and such. *note the blog is a major work in a progress as I have issues 
also sorry this is formated badly </3 I'm writing these in two different writing apps which when pasted into tumblr makes the formating terrible

((Okay so... I was talking to a friend the other night (actually like 2 weeks ago now lmao) about how much I struggle with this blog versus how easy it is for me to do things on Rogue's blog. Obviously, the issue mostly comes down to muse. I always have muse for Rogue. Like, ALWAYS. And her interactions are easy (and fun!) for me to get to. So although I sometimes fall behind, it's easier to catch back up.
Here it often feels more like a chore. I think it’s in part because there are so many muses and my muse for them fluctuates a lot. I also think it’s in part because most of my threads are with my male muses and, as much as I do love writing them (which is why I have them!), I often struggle getting into the right headspace for most of them or finding their voices. Add to that issue that my avpd and bpd have both been exceptionally bad the last couple months (if ya know, ya know), and then everything that happened last weekend... I’m just struggling really hard. I have been for a while.
With that said- I think I’m going to try to do a thing to make this blog feel more comfortable for me (I’ve tried a handful of different things that haven’t worked yet, so we’ll see. If it doesn’t work, I’ll just change things back :) ). The plan is to make a side blog where I’m going to move all my boys. That way, for the people who exclusively want to interact with my male muses, they can follow me over there and, if they don’t see any female muses they’re interested in writing with, unfollow me here (And I need ya’ll to know that, if that’s the case, it’s absolutely, 100%, okay! Do what makes you happy!).  I will say, though, that it’s not just to get a better idea of who is also interested in writing with my girls, but it’s also because the side blog will be low activity (though activity might be higher sometimes depending on my mood!). I just feel a lot of pressure to get to ALL the threads here when I’m online instead of just doing the ones that I have higher muse for, and I feel like when I don’t get to replies right away with my boys that people get extra frustrated with me because those are the threads they’re usually looking forward to (trust me, I get it); so having two separate blogs so that I can split things up a little might make it easier on me. That’s the hope, at least! I just feel bad because whenever I come back here and start to write again, I get really low interaction with my girls (minus the one person who writes with ALL MY GIRLS, you know who you are and I love you <3) because everyone’s excited to write with my boys. And that’s great!!! Throw your muses at my boys!!! But, like... there’s a point where it feels like people are only really writing with me to write with them and I get bogged down by it really fast and it fucks with my avpd real bad (especially when I see really well thought out replies for my boys and short, seemingly kinda brushed off, ones for my girls- like, I start to question what I did wrong or how to make my girls more likeable without having to give up their personalities and fall into making them BORING and then I consider closing out the multi altogether and then I cry and it’s just a whole, dumb, thing because my brain hates me and I misinterpret things and, if ya wanna read about what that’s like for me personally bc I feel like people misunderstand, I made a whole post about it a while ago so ya know); whereas on Rogue’s blog, I know that people are generally writing with her because they love the character, not a fc, not just for shipping, and I feel like my writing is appreciated more over there because of it. I also feel like my writing over there is better because of it. I get more into character and write replies and drabbles in my head at work for her more often and I feel more comfortable. It’s really liberating having her on her own blog and I’m so glad that I made that choice. I’m hoping that tossing the boys on a side blog and giving myself more room to breathe for that reason will help me here (and with my male muses), too. 
Now, I know I didn’t have to explain myself, and maybe some of you are reading this and getting annoyed or rolling your eyes or something, idk. That’s fine. I’m just trying to do what’s best for me, my mental health, and the amount of fun I have writing, because my will to write over here has been flatlining for a while (since before I moved blogs, tbh ^^;). 
With all that said: If I get the side blog up and running tomorrow night or Sunday, I’ll let ya’ll know! Or if I change my mind about doing it, I’ll let ya’ll know that, too! My mains on that blog are likely to be Logan, Bobby, and maybe Tony? Just as a heads up. I’m also probably going to be a little more selective about shipping- that is to say, I’m not gonna ship anything right out of the gate. I typically try not to anyway, but I feel like I’ve been pretty relaxed on that and idk... I just usually feel more comfortable writing together for a while first before jumping into things. This also stands for canon ships- just because a ship is canon doesn’t mean I want to jump into it without at least an interaction or two first, you know? I also want to point out that, although in GENERAL I have higher muse for some of my girls, that doesn’t pertain to ALL of them! Some of my girls are finnicky as fuck, too (I’m looking at you Tifa and Yen). I just have a larger number of them who are super active than I do of my guys. Thus the division.
ANYWAY- that’s enough rambling! And I hope that I’ve made it clear enough what I plan to do and why. I’ve just noticed patterns in my own writing / availability here and I’m trying to work with those to give myself a better experience. That’s all. Also, I’m not gonna drop any threads with my boys! I’ll just be replying to them on the side blog, so no worries to those of you who are currently writing with them! I hope I don’t make anyone feel like they’re, like, jumping through hoops to write with me. Or like I don’t WANT to write with them. I just think that, for the sake of my own anxiety and mental health as well as my stability (and happiness) with writing over here, this might be the best choice. And if it’s not? Well, I’ll just toss everyone back on the same blog and keep this blog low activity like it usually is! (Rogue will probably continue to be my primary blog, though. So if you ever need to reach me or want some consistent threads, hit me up over there! If all else fails and I ever break down and abandon writing on the multi, chances are I’ll still have her at least lmao)
TL;DR: I’m gonna try to move my male muses to a side blog to split things up a little and make life easier on myself! No threads with the boys will be dropped, so don’t worry about that <3 It will, however, be a little more selective with shipping (though still not particularly selective with interactions, in general) and mostly low activity!
Anyway- goodnight everyone! I’ll keep ya’ll informed! <3))

I wasn't planning to split my "hey, so you're gonna see some Star Wars stuff around soon, but I'm not properly rejoining the fandom" into two posts, but here we are. Mostly so that I don't subject all of you to a long explanation.
So: like I said over here, a couple good friends of mine convinced me to watch The Mandalorian, and it's all going downhill into the trash heaps of Star Wars from there. Once I've gotten to a couple other things--which might take some time--I may reblog some GIFs and possibly metas.
Here's the thing: Yes, I might put stuff up. No, I am not getting into the fandom proper again. And I do mean again--as in, I was in it around four or five years ago, quite a while before this blog existed. (You can look at my Ao3 for proof, but... uh... maybe don't. You know how it is with old fic.)
For the sake of clarity, and also because I kind of want to talk about it, I'm going to explain why.
For reference: I've seen all of the movies. I've also seen The Clone Wars up until the newest season. I watched all of Star Wars: Rebels, and that remains my favorite. (No, I've not seen The Bad Batch, so I don't know everything about what they did with Caleb.) I'm also fond of Rogue One despite my dislike of tragic endings. Aside from that, my knowledge extends to a scattered few books, comics, and a few other things. I have, only as of the last few days, finished The Mandalorian's second season; the rest of my knowledge is largely older.
As usual, my attention veered away and I hit my overload point. That's normal, by the way. But there's some other reasons.
First: Star Wars deals a lot with tragedy. I've increasingly found I don't much like too many sad endings, especially when they feel unnecessary. I like my characters whole and safe and happy at the end of the day, okay? Beat them up in between all you like, but... look, I like happy endings. That’s a me thing, by the way, not a flaw in Star Wars itself (mostly). If you like tragedy, go for it! I’m just not a fan.
Second: The Rise of Skywalker poisoned a lot for me. Between that and the way Disney's been beating the shit out of the MCU, I figured the newer Star Wars shows were rotten cash grabs and nothing more. It wasn't until my friends lured me into watching The Mandalorian that I realized otherwise. Somehow, despite Disney's hell-bent obsession with killing everything it touches, there's some good stuff coming out of Lucasfilm yet. (For now.) I am duly impressed.
Third, and most importantly: Whatever TRoS and co. didn't poison, the fandom often did. I've met a lot of awesome Star Wars people. I've also seen a lot of toxicity, especially online.
I cannot tell you how much "oh, this sucked because of A, B, C, and D, and this part is irredeemable, and I can't believe anyone could stand this bit--what do you mean you liked that? Fuck you!" stuff I've seen around. Mind you, I like constructive story critique. But much of the time it was just complaining, with zero positivity or genuine love. (It isn't just Star Wars, by the way; I see a massive amount of this in the DC fandom too. There’s others. It’s common in many large fandoms, I think.)
I get it, it's fair to rant about stuff you don't like. I do that too. I’m not going to say I won’t keep doing it here and there, because I’d be lying. Hell, I have a lot of bones to pick with Star Wars. I can and have torn TRoS apart. But it's one thing to do that, and another entirely to claim that you enjoy the thing while only ever hating on it. In particular, I'm sick of seeing people coming into spaces where people are enjoying the content, and then spoiling it rotten by only ever complaining. That was what really got to me: being in places where people were meant to be enjoying it, only to see endless complaints about everything bad.
That was the thing I really disliked about the fandom while I was in it--there was this constant cycle of people saying they enjoyed some piece of Star Wars media, then turning around and smacking it over and over without ever providing any positive feedback. I'm not here for that. I'm here to smack-talk TRoS, sure, but then talk about a) what went right, b) what could be done better, c) the context of the mistakes and the reason for them, and d) where Star Wars has avoided the same mistakes, because it turns out they've done a lot better elsewhere.
Look, I don't want to hear about every single flaw and nothing else. Media is flawed! That's part of it! Plot holes exist! Problems exist! I get pissed off about them too! I rant with my real-life friends about them all the time! But suspension of disbelief is a thing, and historical context is a thing, and recognizing the fact that writers are human and flawed too is a very important thing. If you've got a problem and you want to say it, say it, tag it, then move the hell on and don't press it on the people who want to enjoy that media for what it is. (Unless those people are being blatantly discriminatory and offensive, in which case, sure, call them out. But don't be an ass about it.)
For the record: I am absolutely down for calling Disney out on its racist/sexist/queerphobic/etc. bullshit. We need to do that, and we need to do it loudly. TRoS fucked up a lot with that, and it deserves to be called out.
But if we're going to do that, we also need to talk about where they went right. We need to talk about how supportive many of the actors were. We need to talk about how Rebels and Rogue One brought in characters of color and treated them right. We need to discuss the importance of Finn and Poe, both for being POC and where their implied romance worked despite its ultimate knock-down. We need to talk about why women like Leia, Rose, Ahsoka, Hera, Sabine, and Jyn--among many others--are good representation. We need to talk about how The Mandalorian and Andor are both led by men of color. We need to talk about the many wonderful platonic relationships in Star Wars. We need to celebrate the good, too.
...er, anyway. I'm gonna hop off the soapbox now.
Basically: I got lucky when I landed in the Leverage fandom and found out how positive a fan space can be, and I don't want to go back to only ever seeing people ragging on my favorite media. Past experience has taught me that the Star Wars fandom does a lot of that. I'm once-bit and twice-shy, so I'm not getting deep in on this. I'm not trawling tags, I'm not getting into arguments, I'm not interacting much at all. If somebody wants to have a positive and constructive conversation, I’m here for it. If I post and someone decides to start an argument for the sake of arguing, I'm blocking and moving on, and that is that.
Anyway. Upward and onward, and all of that. May the Force be with you.

Sorry for the RobertStanning (Can stop any time you like) but honestly, the scenes where he takes Elly hostage is some of the best character work in the history of the show. The way he decides he WANTS to watch her give birth (because he missed Harlow being born and growing up), the childlike curiosity as he watches Elly and Finn panic, and then just walking out after seeing the baby. It felt like there's a part of him that craves the normal life he threw away because of his hatred for Paul.
Absolutely never stop, this blog is a hashtag safe space for robert robinson stans of all kinds!
I'm really glad you brought this to my attention, because I've never really viewed that scene through the lense of Robert the Father, i've mostly been watching it thinking of Robert the Fugitive.
I might have already said this a while ago, but the way Robert hesitates when he sees Helen's portrait of the Kennedy children always gets me, man. The way he lowers his hand slightly from the position it's in keeping Elly away almost like for a split second, he's caught off guard. I think it's apparent that he's only half listening to Elly here, it's a bit like he's somewhere...Else. Somewhere better. Obviously he's seen that portrait before when he was dating Katya (don't get me started on the line where he calls them the kennedys when he would have previously known them as the kinskis) but the content of the picture, two brunette boys and a blonde girl. If we view this scene as Robert mourning a life he could have had, who is he really seeing there, do we think? Even if just for a split second, I like to imagine he thought of Elle. And, I mean. His great Gran did that painting. If something, anything was to trigger a moment of humanity in an inhumane situation it would be her, wouldn't it?
Adz Hunter has such great physicality with Robert in this scene too, the way he's so stiff, holds his arms away from his body and doesn't even bother to fix his shirt that's riding up. He backs away from Elly when she approaches him rather than trying to stop her physically. He doesn't hold her longer than he has to, and then he almost looks like he's a bit disappointed in himself when he throws the phone. It's like, he doesn't WANT to hurt her. I think Elly was never in danger from Robert, in the sense that he was never going to kill her. Because it doesn't behoove his plans (whatever they are) to do such a thing, coupled with the knowledge that if he DOES Harlow will never forgive him.
You know, metaphorically speaking, this scene does appear to bridge the gap between robert as a son and robert as a father. A birth is the ultimate renewal. In witnessing Aster’s death, we see the new Robert being born alongside her, because after this Rob stops chasing Paul and starts chasing Harlow instead, more determined to be a good father than a vengeful son. 
It could also link back to his view of Finn as well, saying that he’s ‘just like him’ (baby girl don’t put yourself down like that :(). The show drew direct allusions between Robert and Finn, which all seem to be reaching a fever pitch here with Robert himself acknowledging them. “You’re free, and I’m not.” “I’m only free because I did the right thing.” I can’t help but feel that the terminology here is not just to refer to Finn not being incarcerated like Rob. But free in the sense that he’s free from his past, something Rob can’t ever be, because his ‘past’ is his entire life. To be free from his past, would mean to lose his genetic connection to Elle and Gail which just can’t happen. 
Let’s circle back to ‘I’m only free because I did the right thing’. Rob does ‘the right thing’ here and he lets Elly, Finn and baby Aster live (not that they were in any danger of being killed), and leaves them after making sure that Aster has been born without complications (I do think he would have called an ambulance if he thought Elly was in real danger of dying lol) and sets off to engineer a meeting with Harlow. What I’ve always found saddest about this storyline is that Rob really believed that he and Harlow were just going to ride off into the sunset together. He did the right thing, so shouldn’t he get to be free now? Free from his past misdeeds? Harlow has to tell him that this isn’t how it works for the rest of us. Robert can’t ever be separated from his past, that’s not how it works. But he doesn’t see it like that? How could he. He’s just a kid. 
I don’t mean to ramble on forever, but Rob is just a kid. I think he has a case of arrested development identical to Elle’s, but in Elle’s case is was brought upon by massive unaddressed trauma and in Rob’s case, going to prison while still very young. I think he really believes Harlow is going to want to be with him because he’s just a kid. He’s not thinking about the effect on Harlow because why would he? She should want to be with him, she’s his dad, and all Rob ever wanted was for his dad to feel about him the way he feels about Harlow. 
Anyway. Great ask, I’d never really thought about this stuff from this perspective before :)

honey, i'm home! (obey me version)
note from kin: i finished this like two days after the genshin one, but i got so used to not posting on this blog that i just. forgot to actually upload it
anyway! premise: you were away from the devildom for a long, long, like REAAAAAALLy long time, and today’s the day you come back!! fluff ensues ^^
(you can read the genshin version of this here!)
fandom: obey me
character(s): gn! reader, lucifer, mammon, levi, satan, asmo, beel, belphie
pairing(s): demon brothers/reader
warning(s): nope
genre: EXTREME fluff!!! fluff so fluffy that you might actually find it painful to read and i’m sorry if you do!!!!!!
Tumblr media
When you win a cosmic game of basketball so hard that you slam-dunk yourself in the hearts of seven of the most powerful demons in the Devildom, there are usually consequences. Some of these consequences are of the heart-fluttering kind; some are more of the heart-aching kind.
Heart-aching might actually be too light of a term. Seven times the love ended up also meaning seven times the loneliness while you were away… whoever said that distance makes the heart grow fonder clearly just loved to lie.
Being in constant digital contact helped, but at some point the messages started becoming more and more melancholic - at one point you could practically feel Satan trying to reach through the screen for you. And, of course, there’s that time that Asmo called you at two in the morning, sobbing about how he was scared that he’d forget how your touch felt while you were gone.
He was drunk, of course, and liable to be dramatic, but it did get you thinking. Two days later, you woke up in the morning to find a message from Belphie sitting in your inbox - it was typo-ridden and clearly written in the middle of a late night daze, but it was one of those things that you can tell came straight from the heart. And that got you thinking even more.
So: here you stand, in front of the House of Lamentation’s front door, a full month before you were due home. Maybe you’re imagining it, but the building itself seems to have drooped a little in your absence. There are cobwebs hanging around the porch; the step lacks its usual shine. Seems that the boys haven’t been keeping up very well with their chores as of late.
You’re half expecting someone to come running at the jingling of your keys, or the sound of the door clicking open and then shut again - but nothing seems to notice your arrival for the time being. The house is silent, sunken in a listless kind of stupor. The air itself feels a little bitter and congealed, like tea leaves left to steep for too long.
You remain quiet, parking your case by the welcome mat and creeping forward like a predator on the prowl. Diavolo had warned you of this when you told him of your plans for an early homecoming, but this is still a little unprecedented. Just how hard have those demons been sulking lately?
You also explicitly warned Diavolo to not tell the boys you’d be back so early, so maybe you shouldn't be surprised that no one’s come to bulldoze you into the next century with all of the pent-up affection you’ve been missing out on. There are a whole range of ways you could announce your return, each more dramatic than th else, but you’re tired from the journey here. The only thing you can bother doing is shouting hello at the top of your voice.
For a moment there’s no reply. Then comes a great racket - a series of scuffles and stumbles, as if someone’s falling all the way down the stairs. A split second later, you realise that someone is; they’re tumbling head-over-heels into view, barely even trying to maintain a grip on the banister in their hurry to get to the bottom.
“You’re back?!” Mammon lands in a heap, but he’s barely on the floor for a moment before he’s back on his feet and squeezing you so tightly that it feels like he’s trying to physically meld himself into you. “We weren’t expectin’ ya for ages!”
“It was meant to be a surprise!” You manage to get out, working your arms out of his hold to wrap them around him in return. Almost as soon as you do, he flops against you like a fish out of water. “Aw, hey, hey, what’s up with you?”
“You were gone for so long, I, like, actually died,” He groans. “Just… just lemme hold ya for a bit, alright?”
It feels like it’s more you doing the holding than him, but you’re not going to reject him. You rub your hand absent-mindedly up and down his back. “...so you missed me, then?”
He grumbles something into your neck and, if possible, wraps his arms around you even tighter than before. “...everything sucks without you. D-don’t ever leave for that long again, ya hear me?”
“I hear you,” You hum, then abruptly twirl him around in a circle. He stumbles slightly, but the momentum of the turn coupled with your tight grip on him keeps him on his feet; he goes stiff as you laugh right into his ear. “What’ve you been— hey, what’s wrong now?”
He’s clutching the back of your shirt so tightly now that you’re a little afraid he’s going to rip it. If you keep very, very quiet and listen hard enough, you think you might hear him sniffling.
“...hey,” You say again, softer this time. “It’s alright.”
He nods into your shoulder and sniffs again, more audibly this time. You wonder when he last let himself be this vulnerable - possibly not once since you left. You make a mental note to spoil him a good bit in the coming weeks.
“What’s going on down there?” calls a dispassionate voice from the top of the staircase. “Mammon? Are you cryi—”
You don’t have time to do much other than smile before Asmo fully registers your presence. His first response is to freeze like a deer caught in headlights - then a delighted scream that probably shatters a window somewhere, and very quickly he’s flying down the stairs and right at you.
He doesn’t even bother waiting for Mammon to get out of the way first, and his momentum by the time he hits you sends all three of you to the floor. You’re hearing more footsteps before you’ve even fully registered exactly what’s just happened; soon enough, you hear a muffled yell, followed by what sounds suspiciously like several more people falling down the stairs.
“Wh—” A pair of hands have hooked around your arms - you feel a strange swooping sensation in your midriff as they pull you free of your demon prison, then immediately crush you into a hug. “...Beel?”
“It’s good to see you,” He mumbles. You can’t see his expression with your face pressed to his shirt like this, but you can still tell he’s smiling by the subtle lilt of his voice. “I missed you a lot.”
Frank as always. You laugh, and he laughs with you - the sound rumbles through his chest against your ear. “I missed you too.”
He rocks back and forth a little on the balls of his feet; the movement makes you sway along with him. He seems to think hard about for something for a while, then finally says, “Food doesn’t taste as good when you’re not around to share it.”
“It’s a good thing I’m here now, then, huh?”
Beel’s nod is so immediate and so forceful that you can feel it without even looking up to see it. “It’d be good even if food still tasted the same before. You being here is the most important part.”
“Hey,” Someone complains before you can reply, and you manage to free yourself enough to see Belphie pawing grumpily at his brother’s arm. “Some of us wanna say hi as well, Beel.”
If it had been anyone other than Belphie asking, you don’t think Beel would willingly acquiese - indeed, his arms tighten for just a moment, as if preparing to refuse, but he does let go after that. You turn to Belphie, who’s gazing at you with something close to a pout, clearly impatient.
He looks awful. He’s always had bags under his eyes, but they seem about thrice as dark as usual. If you didn’t know better, you might have thought he’d gotten into Asmo’s eyeshadow and drawn them on himself.
“Come here,” You order in the kind of voice that brooks no argument, lifting your hands and looking at Belphie sternly. “Let me take a look at you.”
He doesn’t bother pretending to complain like he usually does when he knows you’re about to admonish him for not taking care of himself. He just slopes forwards and sets his chin in your palms without a word, eyes closing contentedly as you run your thumb along his cheek - just under those bruise-like half-moons beneath his eyes.
“You haven’t been sleeping properly, have you?” You sigh, squishing his cheeks inward. He makes a grumbly kind of noise at the base of his throat - you get the feeling that he isn’t listening to a word you’re saying. “That’s not like you, Belphie.”
“Mmm,” He agrees without much commitment, beginning to droop forward as if to fall asleep in your hands right then and there. Behind him, Asmo has started tugging at his cardigan. “Missed you.”
He isn’t even trying to conceal how content he is right now. You sigh a little, but smile anyway. You don’t really have the heart to actually scold him right now, long as it’s been since you’ve even been able to see him in person.
Instead, you lean forward and plant a tiny kiss right on the tip of his nose. At that, his eyes fly open; he stares at you with a star-struck sort of expression for a moment, and then gives a very dopey, very high-pitched, very un-Belphie-like giggle.
“You are going to go to bed early tonight,” You tell him firmly. “Okay?”
“Okay,” Belphie practically sings in reply, looking for a moment like the happiest being in all three realms. “Whatever you say…”
He’s still grinning widely in a dazed kind of way when Asmo successfully yanks him away. Before anyone can reproach him, he sinks himself into your arms with all the desperation of a drowning man - indeed, he clutches at you like the only life-saving buoy around for miles.
Mammon had been a little teary earlier, but as soon as he’s secured himself in your embrace, Asmo starts downright sobbing. He’s completely shameless about it, too, and for a moment you remember that phone call you received and wonder if he’s drunk.
It’s against Lucifer’s rules to drink to the point of full inebriation in the House of Lamentation, but then again his brothers have never been very good at following rules. And you’re fairly sure he’s broken that particular one himself, based on that suspect string of voicemails that he left you while you were out grocery shopping two or so months ago. You’d never taken Lucifer as a day drinker… then again, there’s never any day in the Devildom, so you guess it doesn’t really count.
But, despite his extremely emotional state, Asmo’s hold on you is completely firm and steady, and he doesn’t seem to be having any problems keeping himself balanced. He’s a lot messier when he’s drunk-sad, too. (Though that’s not to say he isn’t a little untidy right now.)
No, Asmo’s perfectly sober - he’s just so incredibly delighted to see you again that he’s having difficulty keeping his joy from overflowing. You sigh a little, but smile anyway, and hold him tight. You hear Levi mutter something mutinous under his breath, and Satan looks less than overjoyed, but there’s enough understanding in their expressions that they don’t attempt to pull Asmo away.
They missed you just as much as he did, after all - more, actually - so they know how he feels. It’s just that Asmo’s face is thin enough that he can dramatically fling himself into your arms and cry for joy without being embarrassed about it. For now, Satan and Levi just have to settle with staring at you like you’re the shining centre of the known universe itself - which, to be honest, isn’t that far off from how they feel. Satan is smiling the widest he has in a good while; Levi is vibrating at a frequency that could shatter glass.
“...you’ve made me ruin my make-up now,” Asmo mumbles faux-reproachfully after a while, hiccuping slightly. Despite his words, he makes no move to detach himself from you - just burrows even further into your hold. “You’re gonna have to make it up to me later.”
“Your make-up’s fine, Asmo,” You sigh - his mascara is a little smudged, at most. Asmo’s typical cosmetics of choice are pretty much bombproof; the fact that they’ve been budged even slightly is impressive in and of itself. “You’re still as pretty as always.”
He sniffs bravely, then pulls back a little and manages something resembling his usual bright beam. “I know that. But I still want you to make it up to me.”
“Of course,” You acquiese, reaching up to dry his cheeks with your sleeve. On a regular occasion, he might have complained about the texture of the fabric being too rough on his skin - on this one, though, he doesn’t seem to care. He just sighs blissfully, and catches your hand afterwards to shower it with affectionate little kisses.
At that point - or maybe some point afterwards, you’re not entirely sure - the others begin ushering you to the common room. Try as they might, the others don’t quite manage to coax Asmo off of you, and so he stays attached to you all the way there. It’s only there that Levi somehow manages to convince (read: bully) him into letting go, and so he gets to take your left side when you sit down; Satan swiftly swoops in to take your right, and slips his hand into yours while no one’s looking.
Belphie sets about gathering up as many cushions blankets as he can from around the room, sets up a little nest for himself at your feet, and promptly curls up against your legs to take a nap. Beel seems happy to just sit on the floor beside his twin, facing you - he stares so intensely at you that it’s as if he’s trying to memorise every single detail of your face.
Asmo, pouting furiously about having to relinquish his place by your side, begrudgingly sits by Satan - though he reaches around behind his brother just to touch you so many times that the extra distance doesn't mean much. Mammon, meanwhile, has a lengthy squabble with Levi, then ends up situating himself behind you. He has to stay standing for that, but he doesn’t seem to mind, as long as he can keep dropping his chin on the crown of your head whenever he feels like it.
There’s not much by way of talking for a few minutes. You get the feeling that the others are just kind of basking in you being here for now - getting used to finally having you around again. Soon enough, though, just the sight of you isn’t enough, and that’s when the questions come.
Asmo and Mammon ask you eagerly about what you’ve been doing during your time away - the question ‘did you miss us?’ crops up every few sentences, and you duly answer with an affirmative each time. Levi chimes in eagerly, and for once he doesn’t start rambling about anything at all; in fact, the way he keeps stopping to ask your thoughts is almost deliberate.
There’s nothing nefarious about it, though. Levi just wants to keep hearing you talking, wants you to keep smiling at him. It’s been so long since he’s heard and seen those things in real life; he’d honestly kind of forgotten the rush it gave him. You laugh a lot, too ,and each and every time it makes him melt a little more. Your power over him is really too formidable...
He's even brave enough to lean forward and press a shy kiss to your cheek. It doesn’t seem like that much after Asmo’s performance earlier, but it’s one heck of an accomplishment for the guy who basically passes away at the first hint of PDA.
In the meantime, Satan’s hand has remained firmly in yours. He’s unusually quiet throughout the conversation, only interjecting every now and then when he has an especially pertinent question or remark to make. Otherwise, he chooses to just listen and observe - to just drink in your presence. He looks as if he’s a million miles away, but it’s really quite the opposite - he is so very here in the moment, revelling in finally being able to hold your hand again.
He’s always been pretty good at keeping his cool, but he’s just so happy you’re here that he can’t keep up any pretences for long. As you recount an odd exchange you had with an old man in a museum, you feel a little weight drop onto your shoulder. You don’t make any comment on it, and just keep talking; taking your cue, the others stay quiet about the head that Satan is very obviously nestling against you as well.
(He’s still holding your hand, too. He only lets go of it briefly to let you stroke his hair for a bit, and the feeling kind of makes him want to cry. Not that he’s going to, after how emotionally open he’s already letting himself be in front of his brothers.)
You tell a lot of stories, most of them mundane ones. After all, the duties you ahd and the work you did weren’t anything to write home about; the only thing particularly impressive about any of them was how exhausting they could be. The only thing you can to do mitigate how boring the tales of your time away is to pick out the more amusing parts to keep the boys entertained.
The funny thing about it is - well, even though your stories aren’t funny, the boys keep acting like they are. And you can’t really quite tell whether the way Mammon’s laughing into your hair, arms coming to rest around your shoulder, is exaggerated or not.
A note about the laughter: it gets pretty loud. That’s not really an issue, since the House of Lamentation is the only residence in this general area, and it’s not like there are any neighbours around to file a noise complaint. But the sound does get someone’s attention - someone whose incorrigible workaholism kept them from noticing your initial arrival.
That someone is also rather irritated, based on the speed of their approaching footsteps. It’s not long before the common room door slams open with a bang.
“What is this racket—” comes Lucifer’s exasperated voice, and you look around just in time to see him stop short.
The others go very quiet - not out of fear, as one might think, but just to give the eldest a moment to take everything in. He stands there staring at you for a long, long time - rooted to the spot and wide-eyed like a deer caught in headlights.
Something very odd is going on in his chest right now. It’s like a firework has been lit inside him - it’s fizzing and sparking furiously, and the feeling is so intense that it almost burns, but somehow it’s in a good way. Perhaps he’s lucky that his face has frozen along with the rest of his body; if it hadn’t, he might have started smiling in the kind of way that would give away each and every one of his feelings in full, unrestrained detail.
You stand up slowly, offering Lucifer an slightly uncertain smile, though on the inside you’re practically bursting as well. His arrival is like the cherry on the cake; you’ve finally got all seven of your boys with you again.
Of course, Lucifer doesn’t engage in any of the dramatics that the others partook in. He doesn’t start crying, nor does he throw himself at you so aggressively that he knocks you to the floor. Lucifer is above these things, and so all he does is say, “It’s good to see you again.”
There’s a very brief pause. Lucifer’s brothers all turn to look at him disbelievingly. You can practically hear all of them asking the same thing - are you serious? That’s all you have to say?
Of course, Lucifer’s just a big idiot who’s self-conscious about letting his brothers see how downright smitten he is. A bit of a useless effort, really, considering they’re all already fully aware, and don’t plan to use it against him at all - after all, they’d be throwing stones from glass houses if they did.
Two can play at your game, Luci. You clear your throat and put on a reasonably business-like voice of your own. “Nice to see you, too, Lucifer.”
Evidently your aloof act is a little too good, because Lucifer’s face actually falls just a little. He catches the discrepancy almost as soon as he expresses it, though, and just nods. “...mm.”
The two of you just stand there and look at each other for a while. The rising tension is almost unbearable; finally, you groan and shake your head, then hold your arms out wide. ”C’mere. I missed you, you know.”
Lucifer coughs a little and glances away. “Well, I…”
He takes in a breath, and for a moment you almost expect him to refuse. But then he seems to drop any impression of restraint he might have been keeping up - in five long strides, he crosses the room and abruptly sweeps you up into his arms.
Any surprised sound you might have made is stifled into the front of his jacket. You’re quick to wrap your hands around him as well. The sheer relief of feeling you settle into his arms like this... it’s almost worth waiting so long for. He heaves a long, deep sigh.
It’s the sort of sigh that says ‘it has been UNBEARABLE without you and I am so TIRED’, among other things - the sort of sigh that tells you that Lucifer has not been having an easy time managing his brothers while you were gone. You can only imagine what it’s been like.
Of course, the others don’t let Lucifer keep you to himself for long. You’re going to have your work cut out for you, with seven demons eager for your company to take care of. Soon enough, the fatigue of your trip here is going to catch up with you - but you know you’ll be in good hands when it does.
Those brothers’ll calm down after a while, but for now there’s a lot of lost time to make up for. It’s just a matter of knowing where to start…
