Simon and his situation feels like it's got so so much untapped horror. Simon himself feels like he's the unfortunate protagonist in his own horror story, like James Sunderland (kiiiiinda) or Ethan Winters. Imagine you're not yourself for almost a whole millennia. Not only that, but this person you've become isn't some terrible horror like The Lich, or a cold and intelligent ruler like Princess Bubblegum. You're the mad man that lives in the mountains, unliked and unloved by everyone, the object of all ridicule and self-imposed humiliation. You're not a threat, but you're no one's ally either, even though you try. You're not even allowed to be a caricature of yourself, because the concept of yourself is erased from your mind nearly completely. You're a husk for a thousand years, an unimposing, carefree husk. And then you're shot back into your own mind, and you don't recognize anything around you anymore. Simon is essentially an alien in this new world.

david duchovny was so old hollywood and you can call me as unserious as you want for saying that but it’s true. he walked onto the set of the x files and created a vibe so subtly but undeniably horny, which was perfect for censors and terrible for costars. he fucked everyone. on good days he provided sensible well thought out responses but on a whole he was best not to be interviewed. people talk about him like he was some kind of god, but they also all hated his ass at some point or another. that’s so 1940s male movie star

i have this idea that the entire ateez maknae line would be the type to find their s/o's belly so cute ^v^
woosan would definitely not be able to keep their hands off you, poking or pinching you teasingly in public, just to get a reaction out of you. while mingi and jongho, when they're in a silly little mood, would be the type to love full on like kneading your tummy and hugging you while playing with it. also woosan would absolutely use your tummy as a pillow everywhere?? on long road trips, on the couch watching a movie, help san holding onto you with his arms around your tummy and his head laid on it and his droopy eyes while the cult classic plays in the background and you tuck the blanket tighter around you both like a little cocoon...HELP

Hi ☆
Regarding your post about Asmo's charm power working on MC - you said that it might be a retcon, because in the original game we had an immunity to his charm.
I still believe that if Asmo's charm IS working on us (and it wasn't just a flaw/plothole by the writing/writers) it can still be explained and justified by our magic becoming weaker and weaker. To my recollection, the game has said that MC has always had a great amount of power, even before we were ever brought to the Devildom or made any Pacts. But it was v. much implied that our magic was latent and inactive, because our powers hadn't been awoken in us yet! If that's the case, imho it still explains why MC used to be immune to Asmo's charm...our power was there, it's just that no one was actually aware of it yet at that point.
And now in NB, our magic/power is suddenly being severely weakened (to the point we can't even open a marmalade jar) and therefore, Asmo's charm is becoming effective on us 👀
That's just my interpretation tho, and how I saw things from my own perspective! 😊
Hello~!
Yes, I think you are correct! The retcon thing was me misremembering how things went in the OG because I often forget these details lol. It has since been brought to my attention that MC always had their powers & they just weren’t aware of them. I swear I am constantly forgetting this stuff, this is not the first time this has happened lol.
But anyway, I definitely think the charm worked due to MC’s weakening power because it doesn’t make sense for it to be anything else. (Unless it was a writing mistake, as you said.)
Though if that is the case, it’s certainly interesting to think about just what this means for MC’s power level. I can’t remember exactly when all the times MC resisted his charm happened, but one definitely occurred after the whole labyrinth situation. At that point I believe MC had three pacts already, but Asmo still seemed to find it unusual that MC was not charmed. So if it’s working on MC now, this could mean their magic is weaker than it’s ever been, even before they were awakened to it.
Whatever is causing this weakening of powers, it can’t be good 😦
