#so basically both of them could potentially date a demon
Text
Actual thoughts straight from the shower (spoilers for the entire SotO story):
Okay so Peitha is great, but many agree (including us) that she's EXCEPTIONALLY small and "classically" pretty in comparison to her brother.
Now, as someone who's done video game design classes, we get it. Anet wants to have a character that's easy to animate and so they went with a modeling skeleton (it's an actual animation term we're not calling Peitha thin) based on the majority of the existing player races for the sake of having the most amount of pre-existing animations to work off of (you can see her emoting during the last chapter). Sylvari, human, and norn all have a few different emote variations, like dance for example (can y'all imagine if Peitha started dancing...?).
Making a video game is freaking stressful and taxing, and you generally want to avoid making something that will be used for only one instance and one instance only UNLESS it will dramatically improve the game's feel. Take djinn and Isgarren for example. They're both four-armed races with the same body shape. There's already several animations the djinn have that are reused for Isgarren, with, as far as we can tell, one exception. Isgarren has a talking animation that has him moving all four of his arms. Djinn don't have this animation (unless it's going to be retroactively added) and Anet likely never intended to give them this animation to keep to the idea that djinn are very reserved and guarded around others. One animation loop is not going to break the bank, but more than that? Ehh...
So as cool as it would have been to make Peitha a unique and incredibly monstrous skeleton, any animations they would have given her might NEVER get used again, and that's a LOT of time used for such a rare scenario. Ergo, give her a design with the most animation reuse potential.
Now that's the technical/logical hypothesis for why Peitha looks the way she does. But here's our lore-based theories which are frankly more interesting.
There's a book you can find in Dagda's room that reveals that all of the taller wizards (Dagda, Isgarren, and Mabon) have gone out of their way to disguise themselves to look more normal and less threatening. Isgarren went out of his way to look like a djinn by making his skin blue (and probably hiding his legs and giving himself extra fingers because CANONICALLY GW1 seers have like 3 fingers and very obvious legs), Mabon chose to hide his wings (the black tentacle things you see other mursaat have? yeah that) and Dagda... we actually don't know WHAT she did to herself. The book avoids mentioning it.
With that said, this could be foreshadowing to the fact that maybe Peitha realized that the shorter mortal races are very distrustful in general, and chose to look as close to a more "conventional" mortal appearance when she began keeping her eye on the Commander (she WAS surprised the first time she's seen but she might have been playing things cautiously from the start in case the wizards noticed her).
Alright so that's the first theory. The second one has less evidence to back it up but its A way to explain the dichotomy between her appearance and her brother and keeping to the idea that Peitha legitimately does look the way we see her.
The only demons encountered to date have basically all been enemies. Peitha is one of the few or potentially only demons who has not tried to kill the player character on sight.
Perhaps Peitha is legitimately that unique due to the fact that she's not normal for her race. Perhaps she's considered a runt of the litter when compared to the other high class Kryptis. Maybe that led to her being acutely aware of how unjust the system in her world is, and the moment she realized that you, the legendary dragon/god slayer that you are, fell into her realm, Peitha had a moment and realized that maybe maybe this was the opportunity she needed to change things for the better.
In any case, we'll have to wait and see what other female Kryptis look like to figure out if the sexual dimorphism is simply.. well, that extreme for demons or if Peitha is the exception not the rule.
In any case, Peitha is wife who's loved regardless <3

HEYY!! big fan of this concept, returns the chaotic 2000's vibe to F1 that it so desperately needs 🤭 Your last post was so well put together! Any new gossip yet?
gossip girl here, your one and only source into the ultra-rich, scandalous lives of race car drivers of formula 1.
hello my lovies. welcome back to the world of gossip, scandals, and drama! how have you guys been? ive missed you terribly since the last time we’ve spoken. since weve last spoken, carlos sainz jr and lando norris has both won grand prixs. how exciting! how dearly ive missed carlando .. today we will dive into all the drama we’ve missed since then after my brief disclaimer !
before i start, if ur not into truly gossipy stuff— THIS IS NOT FOR YOU!! this will go into territory of wag gossip, silly rumours, and other cheesy stuff like that. you have been warned.
lets start off with an anonymous submission, alluding to a comment i made back in an update about estelle and ollie. i mentioned murmurs of flavy snd esteban being a pr couple, lets see what anon #1 has to say.
“in my humble opinion flavy and esteban seem like the least pr and most mature couple on grid. they post eachother because they’re in love and live their lives calmly without making a fuss. i mean she rarely is at gps (bc she’s a med student, but also let’s not demonize the wags for not wanting thousands of eyes and an onslaught of criticism that being present at a go brings) and they are barely photographed by the paps like charles & alex. they give off the same vibes as oscar and lily, cute imo.”
i love this take!!! i totally see where anon is coming from and agree as well. i didnt see it like this, but this is a beautiful pov. i def see why u see that him and flavy are the healthiest, and i agree, but i would also add maybe kika and pierre to the mix? taking on your point that they pos each other since theyre in love and they have nothing to lose there, i could def apply the same logic to them. plus i think they are super cute and they feel genuine to me. + carmen and george probably too.
anon #1 also added this to the end of their submission;
“with that said i wanna know what you think/know about logan’s potential girl! any ideas on what she does? who she surrounds herself with?”
for those of you who dont know, logan sargeant has been allegedly dating a chick named “riley whittall.” i think it is notable the fact that her father is chuck whittall, business man who’s net worth amasses an astonishing $600 million dollars.
i remember hearing about her all the way back in november. i totally forgot about her until a couple months ago, a tabloid i follow on instagram reported on the fact that they have been in many of the same places at the same times. for example, logan posted a bali post on 27/03/24, riley posting a dump days after logan, coincidentally in the same place, with the same filter, with the same angle.
hmmmm
HMMMM….. a quick trip to her instagram today will show you a post of her at australia, in the week of the australian grand prix with chicane wristbands, as well as a story posted earlier today of her at the grand prix.
i cannot for the life of me find the exact screenshot, but i had a friend (her family works in similar business with riley’s father) send me a message of a mutual friend of hers saying that riley was a “pick me.” the message was saying that some of her friends had tried to hit on logan but she got very defensive and start being like ‘im so small’ around him and trying to make her friends look bad. 👀
for those of you who did not see my last post, i recieved an anon submission regarding riley, let’s take a look!
“lots and lots of drama rn... riley and logan just got together and already drama brewing. basically a pretty well-known wag's best friend/someone she models with posted on her private instagram a tiktok that was seemingly demeaning riley whittall. a gossip page dmed her and got screenshots of the best friend AND said wag calling riley bratty, disrespectful, narcissistic, and the b word..”
I NEED TO FIND THESE SCREENSHOTS NOW OMFG!!!! im so nosyyy and I love new drama… this is so messy and im here for it
as for what this girl does besides vacation and thrive off a trust fund, i have no genuine idea. i think shes unemployed, living off daddy’s money but i dont blame her at all. its not like me and my friends not guilty of this 😭
on the topic of logan, i got sent in shady screenshots ahhh!!!! 🐒🐒🐒
logan being a trumpie and an anti masker doesnt surprise me at all 😂 makes so much sense, idk what people expected out of him— hes a floridian white boy, we cant ask for much😭
moving on to my favourite bit of this post and arguably the most controversial f1 couple, Magui Corciero and Lando Norris!
for background information for those who live under a rock, Magui is a Portuguese model who is most notable for dating Portuguese footballer João Felix. Their relationship and break up were rather messy and even more public. Magui is notoriously hated by JF meat riders for cheating on JF multiple times after he gave her multiple chances, leading ro their break up.
I wont get too into detail this post because the lore is so deep but for the ones who do
👀👀👀
Recently, a Portuguese tabloid uploaded photos of Magui and Lando boarding his PJ
This ‘couple’ has notorious for being problem and quite troublesome recently, the pair showing up to the Monte Carlo masters together recently
This being one of their many scandals is not surprising at all since they have been caught together lord knows how many times now😂
what’s your guys’ opinions on riley + magui and lando? let me know in my inbox and the comments!!! 😇
Speaking of messy, let’s talk about my blog 😭 im so sorry I’ve been so inconsistent with you guys, but tysm for everyone sending anons and the constant support♥️♥️♥️!!!!! And Im so sorry this post is so short I’ve. Been having a lot going on rn!!!! summer is approaching so not to worry
I love you all so so much and I want to have a new post for IMOLA regarding LOTS lissie mackintosh and Marcus armstrong drama.. (iykyk) eeeek im so excited to share with you guys… I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!
Remember that my inbox and dms are always open to everybody and you can dm me about anything!!! even non f1 related. Just shoot me a message and I will probably reply😇
until next time race-watchers, xoxo, gossipgirlgasoline

?CG: WE'RE ALL SORT OF COOKING UP A PLAN RIGHT NOW.
?CG: MY RIGHT NOW.
?CG: WHICH IF SUCCESSFUL, MAY, AND I DO STRESS MAY, END UP WITH ALL OF US MEETING FACE TO FACE.
I'm interested in where, exactly, their rendezvous is going to be. I had a bit of a think, and came up with four plans that could bring these teams together.
The trolls could join the human session, to escape the Demon.
The humans could join the troll session, to help them defeat the Demon.
Both parties could rendezvous in some tertiary location, such as the Furthest Ring.
Both parties could connect to each other, and establish a tertiary, sixteen-player session.
There's a problem with three of these options, though. Namely, if the two teams were planning to share a session, then Karkat would have no reason to be uncertain about whether they would meet.
A plan involving the Furthest Ring, however, requires the cooperation of the Horrorterrors. Who knows how that could end?
?CG: AND WHAT I'D LIKE TO AVOID IF AT ALL POSSIBLE
?CG: IS TO HAVE THIS RENDEZVOUS INSTANTLY DETERIORATE INTO A LOT OF REVOLTING TROLL/HUMAN SLOPPY MAKEOUTS.
There is literally nothing under any sun, Green or otherwise, that could prevent this from happening.
?CG: GOD DAMMIT, IT'S NOT EVEN LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE ACTUAL HUMAN FEMALES NEARBY FOR ACTUAL BIOLOGICALLY VIABLE MATESPRITSHIPS! [...]
CEB: rose and jade? [...]
CEB: you want us to like, date them?
Jade/Dave has potential, but I don't see Rose/John working out - and not just because of Kanaya. Romantic tension in Homestuck is usually pretty obvious, and I haven't observed any between those two.
?CG: WOULD IT REALLY FUCKING KILL YOU TO CONSIDER IT??????
?CG: I MEAN GOD. WHAT DO YOU EVEN THINK YOU'RE DOING HERE IN THIS GAME?
?CG: YOU'RE CREATING YOUR OWN UNIVERSE TO GO LIVE IN.
?CG: AND JUST HOW DO YOU THINK YOUR SPECIES IS SUPPOSED TO REPOPULATE ITSELF??????????? IDIOTS.
Four humans can't seed a population, even if they weren't two pairs of siblings. Ectobiology wouldn't help, either - the gene pool is just too small.
This isn't the real reason that Karkat wants the kids to avoid dating trolls - but I also think he'd have trouble understanding why it's not a viable plan. Trolls don't work like that.
CTG: ok youre by far the worst artist out of any of us
CTG: and thats saying something
?CG: SHUT UP I DREW IT FAST
ha!
?CG: AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE, THERE ARE ONLY TWO SETS OF COMPATIBLE QUADRANTS HERE FOR LEGITIMATE CONCUPISCENT PAIRINGS.
I wouldn't have expected Karkat of all people to go full hetero - especially since the ecto-machines could almost certainly merge John/Dave or Rose/Jade. Methinks he's applying 'not a homosexual' a little too broadly.
CEB: wow, i have to marry rose?
CEB: uh…
CEB: wow.
Just like with Vriska, this is all new to John.
I don't get the sense he's ever thought about romance with Rose - she's just his friend. Up until now, he hasn't seen her as anything else.
CTG: it was so much cooler when you were asleep and i basically never had to listen to you ever
?CG: I CAN'T GO TO SLEEP
CEB: why not?
?CG: BECAUSE I'M TOO TIRED TO EXPLAIN WHY IS WHY.
?CG: YOU'LL FIGURE IT OUT LATER.
What's the problem, Karkat?
No recuprecoon? No dream self? Both, in tandem?
Guess we're about to find out!

In celebration of International Women’s Day you’ll be getting my list of my favvvvv female marauders ships, because these lovely ladies deserve so much better, this is top five tho cos I’m lazy
1. Dorlene
Yeah obviously I’m basic as shit but I love them soooo much. And they’re is so much potential within them. Like we have the classic enemies to lovers, but we also have the adorable friends to lovers. And there is soo much angst potential with Marlene dying at the hands of Voldemort, and we love the good old avenge your dead lover trope. And Dorcas would deliver!!! Like just the pure intensity of their relationship will actually send me into a coma
2. Pandalily
Firstly, they are ADORABLE like they are such a cute pairing, but more than that they are both so smart like academic rivals to lovers anyone. Like Pandora with her experiments and Lily quite literally being the Brightest Witch of Her Year. Like imagine them on cute little study dates. Or the fact that they are both so smart and cool. Like everyone would be in love with lily and Pandora is causing everyone to question their sexuality
3. Nobleflower
Give the older girls some love. Like they’re so sweet and cute. But then the ANGST the BETRAYAL. Narcissa marrying Lucius malfoy and Bellatrix being the reason that Alice lost her mind. Like can you imagine Narcissa coming to see Alice in hospital but Alice having no memories of the two, Narcissa being the one forced to carry all the memories of their relationship. Or even worse, Alice remembering Narcissa and being confused whenever Narcissa would leave her or never come to visit. Like I’m in actual tears but I love them
4. Killerquill (or Quillkiller idk)
Look a bit awkward that they’re right after Narcissa and Alice but that’s ok. These two are my fav grey coded characters like awww look at them committing war crimes I love them. But these two in a relationship is quite literally such a whirlwind. Like both of them are so cool and interesting on their own. And together thye have so much potential for just evil and I love that like there is no angst in this one because they both are just ok with committing terrible acts together. These two are demons and I love that for them, like let girls be evil and let them have fun doing it.
5. Emmary
Last, but not least we have emmary, the two sweetest nicest girls on the planet. Like their love story is just sooo romantic and could be so powerful when it comes to discussions of survival guilt and how to move on from traumatic events. Because don’t forget both Mary and Emmeline SURVIVE the first war. Like I would kill to read a fic that just explores the relationship dynamic pre and post first wizard war. Because we have both the cute, sweet innocence of teen love, but then mixed with the trauma of surviving a war and losing many of their friends. And then the ANGST that is the death of Emmeline during the second war and how Mary copes with the loss of one of the last people who attached her to the wizarding world.
#international women's day#I love all the marauders girls#sorry if I missed your fav ships#marauders#dorlene#pandalily#nobleflower#killerquill#quillkiller#emmary#dorcas meadows#marlene mckinnon#pandora lovegood#narcissa malfoy#alice longbottom#alice fortescue#rita skeeter#bellatrix lestrange#bellatrix x rita#emmeline vance#mary mcdonald#mary x emmeline#harry potter#marauders era#hp marauders#marauders headcanon

So if you want a prime example of questionable/shitty worldbuilding in the early Hazbin days: the entire concept of the Charlie comic.
So basically it was going to be set in Charlie's high school years which creates several issues.
1. Charlie was over 200 in the Hazbin pilot so that brings up an issue how long Charlie was in school and the education system.
2. It had to have been recent because Vaggie was going to make an appearance which....
3. Since its obvious Sinners don't age physically from their death date and Vaggie's design concept was shown at the same time as Helsa and Charlie's high school looks that due to lack of information implies Vaggie is high school age, which yes you can say everyone is 18 but its confusing as hell because if Vaggie is a sinner why is she in what I would assume would be a prestigious school/why is she in school in the first place? or... Vaggie and Charlie's relationship has some SUPER fucked aspects.
4. And we don't even know how aging works for Hellborns in general because like Paimon I fucking doubt is 50 but Vivzie could surprise us like she did with Stolas. Like how old are the deadly princes? Where are the ancient ass grandpa elder demons? Do demons choose when to stop aging? Is Lilith counted as a demon or human either way her age is questionable in that regard.
I'm getting a headache from how bad this world building is. So first knowing Viv, she will make the school system just like the one in America and that is another worldbuilding nightmare. Assuming Hellborns aged differently from humans, have a different history and culture from them, and will learn different subjects, it doesn't make sense to write Hazbin's schools in a traditional school system.
Second, no way in Hell would a sinner get into a Hell school especially if it's a prestigious one for Hellborn royalty. Viv said kids can't go to Hell so you have to die as an adult to be in Hell. So either Vaggie is lying about her age to attend this school or she is a possible teacher working there??? This feels such an inorganic way for Vaggie and Charile to meet each other. Like what purpose does Vaggie have to be there and with the implication of an adult Vaggie meeting a teenager Charlie in high school, I rather have them meet somewhere else where Charlie is also an adult.
Viv made a tweet about this idea back in 2019 so she had this idea for a long time now and didn't see the problematic elements or how it causes more questions than answers for the world building.
I actually wouldn't be surprised if Paimon was actually 50 because Viv confirmed Stolas was 30 despite him being the ancient prince of Hell. Honestly I don't bother with the aging for Hellborns because that is a nightmare of it's own to figure out. Both Hazbin and Helluva are filled with so many creative lore and worldbuilding concepts that the writers keep ruining due to their laziness. Instead of writing Hell as it's own setting, they write it as a Red Earth 2.0. I know Hazbin’s thing with redemption is strongly tied in with Hell and Heaven but I rather take a boring show about redemption set on Earth than a terrible demon show about redemption set in Hell where the worldbuilding has potential but the writers fail to execute it properly.
#I'm not going to lie Anon answering this ask was hard to do because I needed breaks to fully understand how bad the worldbuilding is#Viv please just hire another writer for the worldbuilding I promised it will help take the work and pressure off your back#I just can't believe how bad this worldbuilding truly is#hazbin critical#hazbin hotel critical#hazbin hotel criticism#��Asks#꧁rambles꧂

eldritch twins has so much potential.
Cause I’m just picturing Elesa trying to cautiously teach them human customs, and then it gets to ‘courting’ and like, humans have many many different ways, so she tries to think of the basics.
“Oh they keep up really good hygiene to be more presentable! Like trying out new scents and stuff, though they can also just do that for work.”
But they stopped listening at the first half and so the next time their darling walks in they go “oh? New scent? GASP! DARLING IS TRYING TO COURT US! OH BELOVED WAIT!-“ and the struggle to get a feather and scale off respectively.
Meanwhile that morning their soulmate was just “I did buy some new body lotion, and it smells amazing, eh might as well.”
Poor Elesa who states something so clearly but these two monster men are just ‘I heard courting habits/rituals and that’s all that matters.’
- noodle
jdakshl I took this in a slightly different direction but I think you will like it :)
CW: Long, Poly, Demon/Monster Submas AU, Deredere Yanderes
Though I like the idea of Darling after starting to date them just tries out some new scents with the intention of finding one the Twins like and they go nuts when Darling is asking if they like it, both of them trying to find another suitable gift to give their darling-
Elesa sighed, rubbing her temples as she sat back in the plush leather chair the twins had prepared for her. Emmet pacing around the room, and Ingo leaning against his desk, unsure of how they’d managed to give Elesa a migraine this time around.
“Miss Eles-”
“Be quiet for a minute,” She hissed, keeping her eyes closed in silent meditation- And shooshing Emmet again. Maybe, just maybe, she thought, if she wished for it hard enough, she’d wake up back in her apartment and find all of this had been a bad dream; That she hadn’t spent the past three afternoons trying to explain human customs to these two demons, whose current plants involved running a train station in some roundabout way to win your heart; Though, they had to admit, trains were very cool in their own right. Elesa had thought the two to be simply adorable when she learned this had all started from trying to make you love them- Simply seeing you happy brought them such joy, they were more than happy to give you anything you asked for, to grant your every wish!
Elesa thought it cute; innocent, sweet, lovey-dovey, a fairy-tale romance come true-
And soon those adjectives would be dropped from her vocabulary entirely, when she’d heard their future plans to get you to love them.
Their plans included all sorts of absolutely wonderful ideas- such as gaslighting you, kidnapping you, brainwashing you, murdering any vermin who might try to deceive you, stealing away your heart with their lies- In other words, anyone who might try to date you- Or perhaps they would engage in their own kind’s displays of affection- To offer you the head of some fool who dared to insult or disrespect you would be a delightful honor to them, and surely humans would have some similar customs, correct? Or maybe you’d prefer these fools to fall to the ground, swearing eternal fealty to you for having committed such egregious transgressions against you- And they’d already erased some existences that had dared to try to hurt or insult you before. Though they hadn’t gotten to mention the nicer and far sweeter rituals of courting they had, before Elesa interrupted them with an excessively long-winded admonishment of how terrible everything they had planned was; Ordering them both to forget anything and everything they knew about their own customs and ideas and promising them that she’d definitely convince you to love them so please-do-not-resort-to-whatever-the-hell-you-two-were-originally-thinking, stuttering the words out as quickly as she could to ensure the two idiots understood and obeyed.
And they had, of course, gotten bored after no less than three hours of “discussion” on their ideas- It was silly of Miss Elesa to try to correct them! They were above such human ideas of things like “morality”- And they were fine playing human- They insisted. But the laws that bound their existences in this realm made it impossible for them to just take you. They needed to hear it from you first-That you loved them. That you wanted them. And truth be told? The thought excited them more than anything- A human willingly becoming their bride- How lovely, how lovely! What a fairy-tale among their kind, too. Human soulmates were defective- and were often abused and treated as livestock by their demonic companion, as humans didn’t feel the desire or obsession that resulted from the condition of having a soulmate, and the demon had no desire to wait or explain anything; Just to have their soulmate as quickly as possible, safely in their embrace and away from any prying eyes or danger. They could just keep their human pet bound up for their own amusement, and sleeping in a pleasant dream to keep them from suffering or hating the demon- Lost in falsehoods and fantasies, unaware- Yet also painfully aware of the waking nightmare that engulfed them.
But Ingo and Emmet had seen how such cruelty to half of the soul-bind had wasted away at their kind- turning into wretched ghosts of themselves. Living, but at what cost? Unending suffering for human and aberration alike.
They were nervous and worried that they might frighten you, or hurt you again, after what happened when you summoned them- They were so desperate to see you love them-
And also of the fear that you might reject them. Oh, how that would hurt- And the two refused to even begin to explain what they would do if you should turn them down and refuse their affections; But the dark look that clouded both their eyes made Elesa shiver.
And hence why they endured the bothersome nonsense of the little mortal before them, listening intently- waiting for her to divulge the knowledge and wisdom she claimed to possess.
Elesa leaned back in her chair.
“So, you guys want to know… about... dating.”
“…Courting.” Ingo returned, looking at Elesa warily. “Dating comes after courtship, does it not?”
“Well, that is- I guess they mean the same thing, Humans have a lot of different… ways they can engage in... In courtship, It’s a little difficult to explain,” Elesa tried to answer, but really- Where was she even supposed to begin? She was primarily concerned about them hurting others while attempting to court you- Or murdering them- Or any other number of horrible things that Elesa didn’t even want to begin to imagine.
“I am sure there must be some basics, Miss Elesa. Could you not explain to us some… signs, or something- We are not even sure if our little beloved loves us back, truth be told- And reading minds is quite a difficult feat.”
Elesa’s attention snapped to those last words. “You can read minds?”
Ingo could tell by her tone this was not a good thing. “Well, technically- But humans-”
“Absolutely no mind reading no matter what do you understand me, not to me, not to your beloved, not to anyone- Got it?”
Ingo’s tired eyes met Elesa’s- bright and indignant and practically sparking with fear and anger. Ingo sighed.
There was nothing worth reading in her mind, anyway. Her thoughts, like so many other humans, were scattered and varied and cacophonous- a din of firing neurons that was more like trying to listen in on every conversation in a crowded mall at once- And 99 out of every 100 was screaming about something either inappropriate, insane, or inane. And finding out what the human’s mind was actually focused on was even harder.
“Very well, Miss Elesa. We will not engage in any mind reading.” Ingo didn’t feel like explaining it to her right now- Perhaps later.
Emmet stopped pacing. “Yes yes- We will not do that- But, how do we tell if our darling likes us?” He collapsed onto the office sofa, tired of the other two constantly derailing onto other topics.
“W-Well, I suppose...” And she began to think again. “Well, uh- If you’re trying to get someone to notice you... Sometimes they’ll do things like try out new outfits, or dress nicer if they’re going to see you.”
“But Darling works here- They must wear the uniform of Gear Station. How would they dress differently?”
“Hmm, I guess not that then- Maybe they wear ribbons in their hair? Haircut? Bracelet? Jewelry?”
Emmet’s smile widened. “Ah! We shall look out for such changes.”
“Oh! Another thing I can think of- Personal grooming! If you like someone, you’ll take more time to make yourself nice for when you go to see them! They might try out some new soaps, new perfumes... All sorts of things; styling their hair differently, making sure their breath smells good- you know, stuff like that? Though, to be honest, that’s also a bit of a "for work” thing as well- Lot of people like to make themselves extra nice for work-”
“Splendid!” Emmet interrupted, clapping his hands together.
“Wait a second-” Elesa interrupted, but faltered- They weren’t paying attention anymore.
The twins shared a glance to one another; Quite a satisfactory answer! And perhaps they could try out some of those things as well... Darling seemed to like certain hairstyles on men- Perhaps they could change their hair a bit... Or maybe find one of these perfumes for themselves- Something you’d like?
“But what sort of scents would Darling like?” Ingo wondered aloud- Neither of them smelled much like anything, they thought. And what would Darling like for them to wear?
“Oh, I’d love to help with that! I can ask them about it during our next coffee hang out,” Elesa was already thinking of the dozens of scent samples she’d received from perfumeries- Especially for all the commercials she’d done over her career. And finally! Some normal progress with these two abominable monsters from beyond the edge of reality.
And the twin demons now had something to look out for about you! Emmet tried to recall- your hair always smelled of either flowers or fruits. He'd just have to take note of your scent from now on.
---
Of course, you were happily unaware of any secret plots to analyze your shampoo and/or other bathing product choices while you were doing your shopping later that evening- You were out of a lot of your favorite bath products- So why not stock up on some while you were here? And maybe-
Maybe you'd try something different. New.
You grabbed a bottle of some tea tree conditioner; Some stronger stuff was good to use every now and again, right?
And you used it the next morning- the scent was strong, you realized- but not necessarily unpleasant? Minty. Pungently minty.
And the twins could smell it the moment you walked into the access tunnels.
"Good morning, Station Masters!" You saluted them, standing as straight as you could with your heels together as they both walked over; Emmet had some sort of tablet in his hands, and Ingo had a clipboard- You recognized it as the morning safety checklist. By the time you got in, according to an engineer, there was a broken... energetic lattice generator inside an engine? It sounded quite sci-fi, you thought; but also interesting! The trains of Gear Station were a modern marvel of engineering and scientific ingenuity;
Or at least, that's what you thought. To Emmet and Ingo, it was just a way for their Servitors to inform their masters of potential breaches in security or problems caused by magical interference, without revealing to the general populace and you that the trains were, well, yes, while technically complex mechanical devices, they were powered by some arcane wellspring of energy that Joltiks went utterly insane for. The actual engines inside of them were physically impossible to exist- And if any human engineer tried to comprehend or rebuild the engines they’d be unable to or probably driven mad. Perpetual motion machines were not something that should’ve been able to exist in this universe, after all.
But none of that mattered for now! You were here! And- And you smelled different-
"Good morning!" Ingo shouted- his voice always so loud and distinct against the growing mechanical din of trains starting up and stopping and clunking and bumping and mechanical whirrs and grinding noises, and Emmet motioned you closer and the two dragged you away from the maintenance annex, into a quieter tunnel.
Oh, you were quite pretty today! Your outfit was as sharp as ever, and your smile so bright- Ingo put his arm across your back more than once- stopping just short of grabbing you, as much as he wanted to- And Emmet forcefully restrained his arms behind his back while they walked with you towards their office. Surprisingly, none of the other Depot Agents were following you yet, you noticed.
Of course, the Agents knew not to interfere with their bosses when they were with... you.
But the two were excited for another reason, aside from getting to be alongside their beloved, beautiful, darling-
The scent. It was different. Very different.
A sign you liked them, right? You were wearing the scent for them, right? Right?
You removed your cap for a second, brushing back your hair- and a new wave of the strangely minty scent hit them both. It was certainly different from what you normally wore, Ingo thought- And your hair was so pretty, he just wanted to run his hands through it, to gently caress you- Emmet was staring at you- licking his lips and leaning in a little too close- And Ingo shoved him back glaringly. No. They had to make sure, right?
Ingo would strike up conversation with you- Already planning out how to weave the question of the new scent into a natural conversation, to find out if you really were wearing it for them- That would be so sweet, though he did think he preferred the scents of flowers and fruits on you- But if you’d thought of them, trying to impress them- trying to court them-
Ingo needed to know. His feet were trailing shadows and pools of dark voids while he walked, his mouth curling into a little grin- And he went to ask you, tentatively, how you were doing this morning-
“Are you wearing a new perfume?” Emmet interjected. Ingo faltered, glaring daggers at his younger twin.
You blushed- Was the scent really that intense? “O-Oh, no, It must be the new hair conditioner I tried that you’re smelling- It’s awfully minty, isn’t it? I don’t know if I quite like the scent.”
Blush. You were blushing! How cute! They could hear your heartbeat in your chest- increasing rapidly. You, of course, were just embarrassed that the tea tree conditioner was obviously so intense that your bosses could not only smell it, but were commenting on it-
“It is not bad,” Ingo added, trying to calm you down. Ingo could smell it too? It must’ve been really intense. “...Are you trying out new hair products for any particular reason?”
Both of them looked at you- Leaning into your space ever so slightly, waiting for your answer with bated breaths.
“No reason! Really!” You answered honestly. “I just- It was a more intense hair cleanser than normal, and I thought... I could... use a change...” You trailed off. Sinnoh above, this was embarrassing- Scentless hair wash next time. Who knew your bosses had the noses of Poochyenas?
Or maybe it was really intense and bad. You adjusted your hat on your head. Hopefully you could mask it? Or better yet, you knew Agent Jackie needed you- You could run off and seclude yourself in some office doing desk work for the day, avoiding your bosses and smelling pungently minty-fresh in some forgotten corner of Gear Station!
“I’m terribly sorry, Ingo and Emmet- But- uh, Jackie- My supervisor for today- he uh, asked me to report to him for my daily tasks! I just remembered I was supposed to report to him first thing this morning, sorry!” And before they could stop you, you’d run off.
The twins were quite upset when you managed to scurry away- Had Elesa lied to them? Was this a human way of saying- No, it couldn’t be-
Had you tried the new hair conditioner for someone else...? Ingo bit his thumb at the thought, hard enough to draw blood, turning black and shadowy at exposure to the air. Emmet stopped his incessant pacing, his hands twitching uncomfortably and inhumanly.
Absolutely not. They wouldn’t allow you- How dare you- No, no they couldn’t think that! You were simply confused- You only loved them- You couldn’t love someone else- Could you?
They’d get to the bottom of this- No matter what! Your supervising Agent was about to receive a new order for the day- Find out if you were going to see anyone later, no matter what- And also find out why you were wearing the strange hair scent- Oh, they wouldn’t be letting you leave Gear Station today if you really were looking forward to meeting someone else- They’d have to put a stop to that immediately!
And Elesa, meanwhile, had returned to her gym- Quietly thinking to herself while she awaited the arrival of a new challenger.
“I could’ve explained that stuff better,” She thought- But man, had she been exhausted today- “The way I said that stuff about perfumes... I hope they don’t start thinking that person is like, proposing to them just because they used Strawberry scented shampoo instead of coconut today or something- Nah, of course they wouldn’t be so dumb as to-”
She stopped.
On second thought-
She began furiously dialing her X-transceiver.

Bendy and the Dark Revival thoughts: Luke Rambles
So, I finished the game yesterday ! Pretty neutrally positive thoughts overall !
I didn't get in excpecting anything, BatDR became more of a running joke in my mind more than anything, so I really struggled to get hyped for the VERY SUDDEN release date announcement. I was pleasantly surprised of the game's weight, I was expecting something akin to the monstruous 80gb of security breach to be welcomed by a dainty 15gb which might be stupid but I like my games on the lighter side. The trailer didnt rock my nuts too much but it turned me mildly optimistic despite the absolute LACK OF SUBTITLES that I find absolutely unexcusable as it is the most basic accessibility feature you can implement both for hard of hearing folks, people with audio processing disorders, and non native english speakers that struggle with spoken english.
But besides that, maybe this game can be good, I thought.
Ill organise my own personal opinions below ill try to put all the negative after everything but im a little hater it will seep through the cracks sorry
VISUALS:
Now as a Morrowind fan I'm not too much of a graphics whore, I'll settle for anything as long as it plays nice but um. The shits bussin. They really took BATIM and faceapp filter yassified it. I guess they upgraded from a mouse to a graphic tablet. Genuinely it looks awesome. The ink is inking, the sepias are soft and really enjoyable to look at, the light effects are quite nice- although I would have enjoyed a little less flickering lights (head hurty, wouldve been nice to have a toggle so photosensitive folks can also enjoy the game but oh well) but overall it looks GOOD.
AUDIO:
Music and sound ruled !!!! I wish I could have enjoyed it fully in both ears (suffering from minor to worrying ear troubles for the time being) but I know I will whenever I can. NOT AS ICONIC as BATIM's OST but !!! Really atmospheric and fitting, excellent work once again. Voice acting was really good!!!!! LOVED the Ink Demon's voice a lot because I had a bendy ask blog in 2017 they were catering to me, the monsterfucker, specifically. Good. All the monster's voices were SOOOOOO yummy as well.
GAMEPLAY:
Yeah! Really a step up from BATIM, but without comparing the two games constantly I do think it was really enjoyable and refreshing, new abilities fitting in smoothly despite some being quite useless or rather not used to their potential, LOVED the sneak mechanic I just wish it was smoother and sneak on press rather than a toggle but ! Whatever. It was a really nice experience overall, the puzzles were fun and kept me busy !
CHARACTERS:
I love Audrey. She's really fun and I really enjoyed sharing her adventure with her shes a really nice character if anyone dares to shit on her I will mail them a large hammer on a spring inside a shoebox. Allison!!! Alice!!! Honestly big win for the cool women whose name beings with an A fandom. Betty was quite alright too. I'm genuinely glad there's more women in the game. It was nice to see previous characters as little cameos, not too fond of the new characters introduced but thatll come in the hater section.
STORY:
Eh???? It was a little confused but it was fine I guess. Didn't pay too much attention to it to be frank.
HATERISM:
Cracks knuckles. Its gonna bleed.
First of all what soured up my mood instantly was the subtitle option being absolutely incomplete. If you offer a subtitle option you should have EVERY SPOKEN WORD subtitled. No excuses for this one it pissed me off so bad. The tapes made me so upset. BATIM got it right, you had the transcript show up on the side as the tape rolled on and while you CAN access the transcripts in the inventory and play them along it breaks the flow so bad for no reason and its just a shame. No subtitles for the lost ones talking, none for the studio tour speakers either. Why is there a subtitle option at all if you're gonna half ass it like that. Accessibility matters and as I said before its THE most basic thing you can do. Do better. Also regarding accessibility/comfort but not as important but still is to me I wish remapping the controls could have been an option.
The constant fucking jumpscares really cheapened my experience as well. They leave me unphased (my brain works so slow I simply dont process anything sudden. Ennemy pops up I hit it. Theres no EUHGHHH THAT WASNT THERE BEFORE!1!!11!! Reaction) ended up jokingly predicting them before they happened, and the little ghost cunt (she did made me jump a few times) couldve been easily scrapped from the game like WHATS THE POINT. If you need to put shitty jumpscares regularly to make your horror game scary well. Maybe dont make a horror game. Not to go on a tangent but horror is SO interesting BATIM as a setting has so much to offer for the genre from uncanny designs to mind breaking non euclidian environments to ambience claustrophobia opression the ink demon tracking you down like game theres SO MUCH. Why settle for jumpscares. Begging on my hands and knees for the devs to play the two first silent hill games with a notebook on the side. But also bendy does NOT have to be a horror game!!! But whatever. Im normal now. I lied.
The whole game, while being quite good and enjoyable, felt really FULL but SHALLOW at the same time. So many new characters that get a single half listened to tape I can't give less of a crap about, notes scattered all across the levels, but none of them really stuck. I had forgotten Porter even existed half into chapter 4 which is a SHAME. One one hand it made the world feel more populated but at the same time everything felt brushed over. I wish Bendy would have been more of an actual threat more than a random little AUGHH you gotta hide!!! Every ten minutes. Dont warn me let me hear his heartbeat and let my vision go black as i walk around and realise I need to RUN for the closest miracle station. I really wish all the super cool new mechanics were used more in depth... Also they didn't make Henry fat and it makes me so enraged for no valid reason but still I will bark about it.
Dont care for the story much again it was a little blegh but I still really liked playing. Will replay it, even. I want Wilson to step on me.

A bit more about Nox, as you guys asked for here
This is a pretty in-depth thing about him/his background so I hope y'all enjoy! Putting it below the cut due to length since it's basically just a lore/info dump
He/him, Cis-male, and Gay.
Backstory:
Born and raised in heaven, as basically the golden child of his nest of about five foster siblings siblings. Though he does have one full brother he "accidentally" was raised alongside. But they don't know they're full brothers.)
Growing up he was one of those kids who can do no wrong in the eyes of adults. Giving him a severe superiority complex...
However, he still felt left out in terms of like... Physical affection? Everything was placed on his academics, his achievements, his potential, etc. But always more or less held at a distance in terms of "personhood". He was put on a super high pedestal from a young age and it only worsened in adulthood.
Through work he was able to befriend Present, the Ambassador of Hell, who took a particular interest in him. They seemed to pick up on his restlessness and offered him a deal. Allowing him to secretly travel to Hell as an Ambassador himself. This is where he met and befriended Rupert.
He and Rupert quickly became "thick as thieves" so to speak. Nox was fond of Rupert's "roguish charm" and spontaneity that most angels don't have. He also appreciated that Rupert didn't have him on that pedestal, and could trust the fiery demon to call him out and tell him exactly what he needed. Rupert didn't treat him like porcelain like everyone else in his life had. Plus the "benefits" in "friends with benefits" was not to shabby. They did consider dating, but they both agreed that it wouldn't work.
Enter... Dayzel. Freshly disowned and on the run, but trying to prove himself. He met Nox at a party he snuck into. And Nox? Fell head over heels for him. He thought Dayzel would make an excellent "trophy husband", and was enamored by Dayzel's put upon charisma. He talked to Present about the situation. And Present made another deal with him. Allowing him to legally/officially marry Nox. And it was made a huge spectacle for both Hell and Heaven since up until that point it was extremely taboo for a demon and angel to date, let alone be married. The only caveat was that neither could remain in either place, so Present set Nox (and Dayzel) to live on Earth. Rupert was also allowed to go with Nox (and Dayzel). Nox becoming fallen, and Dayzel/Rupert becoming "runaways".
Now living on Earth, Nox and Rupert conspired to figure out work. And what better business than creating an empire of mercenaries and Hitmen? Rupert in charge of actually doing the work and working with other "employees", including other demons and angels trying to blend in on Earth and needing a line of work as well. Nox handled the business side of things and dealing with people. And Dayzel? Dayzel just had to look pretty, do as he's told, and smile. Nox couldn't risk his poor, precious husband with such a dangerous lifestyle.
The next three-ish years Nox spent with his loving husband. Who he totally didn't manipulate and constantly isolate and abuse bc Dayzel wouldn't "cooperate" with his plans. Forcing him to take more drastic measures "for Dayzel's own good". And his best friend. Who he totally wasn't still screwing on the side behind Dayzel's back.
Everything eventually came to a head when Nox ended up marking Dayzel in a fit of rage and possessiveness. It was very soon after that Dayzel ended up attacking him and nearly killing him, before running away. Nox never found out where he went. As things rapidly went downhill. Including Rupert drifting away from him, despite his best efforts. And with that, Rupert fully took over the whole operation, leaving him with nothing.
Desperate, he turned to the only other friend he knew he could count on... Present. They consoled him, comforted him. And kindly offered him a place with them away from it all, protected. Even from their siblings. He, yet again, agrees to their deal. And essentially disappears from the face of existence. Totally not to become a whumpee himself...
---
Fun tidbits:
He's a hybrid of a cupid angel and a touch demon.
His full brother and he have no idea they are actually related since most angels never end up with blood family, and are instead raised among adoptive families. (The brother in question is Denice, who belongs to @emmettnet but I have permission to reference him in canon)
While yes, he is naturally charismatic. The level of it/the way people see him, is subtly influenced by the effects of him being a hybrid which leads people to unconsciously trust/see him positively without even realizing it.
He feels more comfortable around demons than he ever did angels
Naturally he is covered in freckles, but went through a process to have them removed. He is incredibly self conscious about them. If he ever needs any healing (magically), they will come back.
One of Dayzel's pet-names for him was "blackberry"
Yes, his hair is naturally Purple

Now that I think about it, how exactly would Tanjiro and Inosuke have their first kiss? I've got this idea that even though he doesn't look it, Inosuke could be rather shy when it comes to done to it considering he's never really been shown that much affection and care before from any other demon
This will probably be a snippet I’ll write eventually, but I’ll give details anyway!
So, during the entertainment district, Inosuke is actually sent to aid Daki and Gyutaro after Douma gets word that there’s a potential Hashira hunting them down (he’s a lot closer to them in this au, but still not like a father figure) and runs into Tanjiro before they find Daki. They realize they’re on opposing sides and decide to keep their distance because, when it comes down to it, they know they’ll have to fight one another in the upcoming battle. But, during Tanjiro’s confrontation with Daki (like Nezuko’s in canon), Inosuke is hiding in the background, and can’t bring himself to attack Tanjiro for her. She spots him as well, and demands that he come and help her, but he can’t do it and runs off before things get worse.
After the fight, and during Nezuko’s recovery, Tanjiro meets with Inosuke by the Butterfly Estate and obviously thanks him, but asks why he’d put his life on the line like that (because there was no way of knowing that Daki was going to die. In fact, it was more likely she would’ve lived and snitched to Douma, so Inosuke was basically digging his own grave). In a long winded ramble, Inosuke accidentally reveals that he’s very, deeply in love with Tanjiro, and can’t bring himself to hurt him even if that’s what he was meant to do at first. Tanjiro ends up cutting him off by kissing him because holy shit, Inosuke loves him back!! And that’s both their first kiss, and how they started dating :)

steve/bucky
E, 71k
Summary: “They really didn’t want the mask to come off.” Hill thumbed through the scans, and pulled out a film that she then handed over to Sam, face mostly expressionless but for the flat line of her pursed lips.
Sam accepted the film and held it up to the light, angling so both he and Steve could see it, squinting at the outline of the Winter Soldier’s skull, and the blips of unnatural white that showed up, God, in his brain, not to mention about half his teeth, plus the mask, with its thin protrusions—
“Those are pins,” Steve realized. He looked over at Hill. “The mask—it’s nailed to his face.”
Hill’s face was as unmoved as ever. “Like I said. They really didn’t want it coming off.”

E, 69k
Summary: Bucky lifts his head as much as the metal strap around his neck allows. His face is the same familiar scowly mask as always, but Sam knows him well enough by now to see something off in his eyes. Something so damn unfamiliar there it takes Sam too long to realize.
Fear.

bucky/tony
T, 63k
Summary: Ultron happened. The Avengers left.
Tony is fine with being alone again. He always worked better as a Lone Wolf than a team player anyway. He's not sleeping or eating or resting or... living, but it's fine. It's good. It's okay.

Out of The Fog (ao3) - HappyJuicyfruit
sam/bucky
T, 48k
Summary: “Bucky seemed pretty resigned to his fate.”
“What is his fate?” Sam asked. “Is he in prison?”
“No, he’s at the Douglas Psychiatric Hospital upstate.”
“They had him committed?”
“He proved himself to be a danger to the people,” Dr. Raynor gave him a sad smile. “When I tried to build a case, prove that he wasn’t… there wasn’t much evidence I could gather. He doesn’t have any friends. He had two pieces of furniture, neither of which were a bed, by the way.” She shook her head. “James portrayed himself as a man who slept on the floor, lived alone, and attacked John Walker with no provocation. Of course they had him committed.”

bucky/tony
T, 3k
Summary: Prompt: Imagine wintersoldier!Bucky evading Steve’s searching for him and coming to the tower and getting into Tony’s workshop because he requires maintenance....
“Fix it.”
Tony blinked into the semi-darkness, his heart kindly reminding him of how alive he was by attempting to punch straight through his ribcage in response to the soft, raspy voice. He knew it was fear and adrenaline, but stupidly instead of making a run for it Tony just stood there and thought of cartoons. His imagination had conjured up a visualization of his heart stretching out through his shirt and pounding away in the air all va-va-voom, as if he’d been struck with Cupid’s arrow.
“Sorry, I’m strictly appointment only.”
The One Where Peter is Bucky's Weakness (ao3) - JinxQuickfoot
T, 56k
Summary: Bucky was returning to one of the small apartments Wakanda kept as safe houses in the States, when he was greeted by a tied-up teenager in the middle of his living room, staring at him with wide, panicked, deep brown eyes.

Bucky doesn't recognize the teenager someone has dropped off in his apartment, but that's not going to stop him from protecting Peter Parker at all costs.
The Story of Us (ao3) - ShadowsintheClouds
bucky/tony
E, 136k
Summary: Getting captured by HYDRA after fighting a couple of super-soldier in Siberia was not Tony Stark's idea of a good time. Being trapped with one of said super-soldiers was also not on that list. Being tortured daily while being subjected to psychological undoing was too much to deal with. Luckily James Barnes knows all about HYDRA and what they can do. Trapped in a small room, they've only got each other.
They will survive this.
They've got to.

When he takes on the task of helping reintegrate Bucky and his pups into the world, he doesn't expect to fall so hard.

ohhicas replied to your ask post:
James had to ask Hartley directly in the comics why the hell he gave a shit what happened to the others after how they treated him so like 💀 Remake killed a lot of the nuances of "oh they absolutely cared he was gay. Very specific ones did not care, and removing that difference killed a lot of the uniqueness of the group's relationships with each other"
This I agree with, though in the modern era I still think the guys may be due for an overhaul. They can have differing opinions on Hartley's reform and political views, and some might not care but others might have big problems with it. Another source of potential conflict is Hartley dating a cop, which the Rogues undoubtedly have feelings about. I think there's room for real tension between him and them that doesn't involve them being hateful.
belphegor1982 replied to your ask post:
And that's why my relationship to DC comics canon (whatever the hell that may be) is basically the kind you have to a somewhat distant relative you used to see fairly regularly once upon a time but now you just kinda check in on sometimes in a "so what are they up to these days" way. The version of the Rogues that lives in my head is both very specific and incredibly vague for that very purpose.
That's fair. For me, the good thing about fiction is that nobody actually got hurt and so it isn't a huge deal when a fictional character does something terrible (I don't necessarily like it and it might make me uncomfortable, but a real person/animal wasn't hurt). But not everyone sees things that way, and that's understandable. Plus, everyone draws the line somewhere at the types of media they immerse themselves into, so for example I generally avoid gore and horror. Comic book supervillains doing their thing might be too much for others.
belphegor1982 replied to your ask post:
One “the Rogues are all straight except for Piper” headcanon I do have though is that any and all of them could have fallen under the queer umbrella if 1) they’d grown up/lived in different circumstances and 2) if they’d let themselves be queer. The hyper masculinity they show could be interpreted as performative for fear of being perceived as even more Other than they already were.
belphegor1982 replied to your ask post:
That doesn’t stop me as seeing James as pan, Mick as ace (or somewhere on the ace spectrum anyway), Len also possibly grey ace and maybe bi (again, if he’d give himself permission), Mark as gender fluid, etc. That’s the beauty of headcanons - it’s all a big sandbox and open to interpretation!
Indeed, well said :)
demonbirdsforever replied to your ask post:
I didn’t realize that stuff had happened. I understand you have your view now. We all just have to remember that comic characters change by whose hands they end up in. So I think the homophobia you mentioned is more a writer problem than a character problem. It’s like Trigon, everyone says he’s a demon but he’s not really. He’s is EVIL or as he put it, Celestial Blasphemy. That’s why I’m okay with other opinions on characters, to degree…
Oh for sure, there's no reason any given continuity will stick around forever -- which is both the beauty and the bane of comics. That's why I'm hopeful that DC will update them at some point, but hopefully it won't take ages to happen.
I will say though that this might be a hazard of being a fan of villains: it's pretty unlikely that they'll be unproblematic like, say, Superman might be. That doesn't mean they're all going to be hateful bigots or that we should like it if they are, but a lot of them might do or say things at times that the audience doesn't like. That's something we have to come to terms with, because even the nicest Rogues have done horrible things at some point…you have to take the bad with the good.
it-is-i-zim replied to your text post:
Confession: I didn't really read most of Identity Crisis. Most of what I read was issue 5 out of context. And now I feel kinda stupid but in my heart I know him randomly murdering some guy is out of character. And that's what counts
it-is-i-zim replied to your text post:
Out of context it just looked like he was breaking and entering. And then got shot for breaking and entering.
No, he was hired to kill Jack Drake…it was a whole thing, the story just gets worse the more you hear about it. You're better off not reading it.

Cacophony
(Riddle Rosehearts x gn!Reader x Floyd Leech)
summary: Riddle is overworking himself post-overblot, so you and Floyd trick him into having a day off.
a/n: look i’m a florid(a) stan, i admit, but i feel like riddle+floyd+yuu is an untapped market ripe with potential. i was gonna do some yandere stuff but it ended up being fluff with a little whump because brain rot
tw: burnout, riddle lowkey has depression, kidnapping (for a good cause), swears

Between the two of them, most onlookers would assume that Floyd is the more problematic boyfriend. After all, the eel merman is the very definition of intimidating: both his tall lanky frame and ominous words. But you tend to disagree.
Floyd is unpredictable in his mood switches, bouncing back and forth between extremes, but his emotions remain readable, at least to those who know him well. Even when he’s not as vocal about a particular dilemma, it’s never hard to guess what may be bugging him.
Riddle, on the other hand, is about as comprehensible as his namesake, decorated in flowery language and polite gestures but ultimately puzzling. His anger is easy enough to understand, of course, his face flushing bright red as he calls out his signature spell, but even that isn’t quite so simple. Sometimes you’ll poke fun at one of the Queen’s rules or Floyd will tease him about his height, and his face will switch to the same shade of red as he insists the two of you cease. In such moments genuine anger and embarrassment becomes indistinguishable from a playful flirtation between partners. It’s even worse when he doesn’t speak at all. He overworks himself frequently and hides it behind empty smiles. You understand why, you’ve seen how desperate he is after his overblot to show that he isn’t a burden.
Floyd figured it out pretty quickly as well. Despite his reputation as the more lackadaisical of the twins, he is just as perceptive as his brother when it comes to observing other people (though undoubtedly more honest in his approach).
So when Floyd suggested a batshit- potentially illegal- plan to cheer up your boyfriend, you quickly agreed, mostly out of fear that Floyd might try it on his own either way.
The first part was the simplest; for all his quirks, Floyd is a rather talented chef, as expected as a member of the Mostro Lounge staff. Thus, it was easy for him to cook up a wonderful tart for Riddle- with a few of Jade’s uniquely bred mushrooms ground inside, more than enough to knock the small boy out like a light.
No longer concerned about the issue of Riddle’s tendency to wake up at the mere dropping of a pin, the two of you could, a tad clumsily, break into Riddle’s room and, well…kidnap him.
Although Floyd shrugged off most of your concerns, on the most basic level, that’s what his plan was. Of course, what neither of you had fully prepared for was the fact that Heartslaybul’s other dorm members had completely different sleep schedules.
As the two of you carried Riddle’s unconscious body out of the room, an orange-haired boy cleared his throat down the hall.
“Uh, hey guys,” Cater blinked. “Do I even want to know what’s going on?”
“We’ll have him back by tomorrow afternoon,” you promised, not answering his question.
“Goldfishie has been working so hard lately,” Floyd explained. “So Shrimpy and I decided to take him out on a date and ditch school~”
“Floyd-”
“What? You’re not gonna tell anyone, right?” Floyd grinned menacingly towards Cater, who merely laughed.
“Dw dw, it’s all chill. I won’t snitch,” Cater laughed. “Just make sure to send some pics for me to show Trey, ‘cause otherwise he’ll lowkey freak.”
“No problem,” you sighed, relieved. After a quick goodbye to the Heartslabyul junior, the next step of your plan was underway. Floyd had scored three tickets to a carnival on the mainland, but to get there you’d have to use the mirror at night without accidentally running into any of the staff or hall monitors. Luckily, you had the perfect lookout: Grim.
The small demon was hesitant to help the two of you with your ridiculous idea, but a few minutes of pleading had caused him to relent. Granted, it also cost you an ungodly amount of premium tuna. Grim was small enough to slip into the Hall of Mirrors undetected before the school had closed up for the day, allowing you easy entry at the dead of night. From there, it was just a matter of teleportation, plus some walking for the rest of the way.
By the time you had almost arrived at your destination, both the sun and the poor boy you’d dragged along with you were beginning to rise. Riddle blinked his gray eyes slowly as he processed his surroundings. He was being carried, bridal style, by Floyd as you walked alongside him, chatting eagerly.
“...Y/N? Floyd?” he mumbled, rubbing his eyes.
“Goldfishie! You’re awake!” Floyd cheered, nuzzling against his face. Riddle quickly pushed him away, blushing brightly.
“What’s going on?” he asked suspiciously. “Is this another dream?”
“Aww…did you hear that Floyd? He’s been dreaming of us,” you teased.
“T-that’s not what I meant! I demand to know what’s going on at once!” Riddle squeaked, squirming out of Floyd’s arms and plopping unceremoniously onto the ground. You frowned, leaning down to help him up. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that,” you promised, taking his hands in yours. “It’s just…I know you don’t like to talk about it, because you don’t want us to worry or anything but-”
“You need a break,” Floyd finished seriously. “Goldfishie, you’re so smart and you work so hard, but everyone needs a day off every once in a while.”
Riddle stood in silence, his brow furrowed and lips pressed tight. You could see in his stormy eyes that he was deliberating. Or more likely, he was trying his best not to get angry.
“I’m flattered,” he finally said, hiding his face from your view. “But I am the Heartslabyul housewarden. I can’t just ditch school! The others need me. I need to return to school at once.”
“Riddle,” you replied firmly, cupping his face in your hands in order to meet his eyes. “Listen to me. Every housewarden needs a break. Hell, that’s how Kalim and Leona spend the majority of their time!”
“Even Azul takes time for himself every once in a while,” Floyd chimed in. “Plus, too much stress might make you overblot again.”
Riddle sighed and shook his head softly, “I guess it..couldn’t hurt to take a break…just for today though! And next time, I insist you consult me beforehand!”
Floyd laughed and squeezed the both of you tightly. “Just wait until you see what Shrimpy and I cooked up ehehe~”
“A carnival!” you exclaimed, unable to curb your excitement for another moment.
“A carnival?” Riddle repeated. “I’ve never been to one before, are you sure I’ll be proper;y prepared? Do they have any special rules of conduct or-”
“Don’t worry darling,” you reassured, kissing him gently on the forehead. “It’ll be easy. Of course, if it gets too much just let us know and we’ll take a break.”
“I’m gonna win every stuffed animal!” Floyd added. “And of course we’ll have to ride ALL the roller coasters! They don’t have many of those under the sea.”
“Well, if I don’t have much of a choice in the matter anyways, would it be alright if we got some cotton candy?” Riddle fumbled, his face red.
“Of course,” you laughed earnestly, holding his hand with one hand and Floyd’s with another. “Let’s go!”

BIOGRAPHY:
Jasper couldn't tell you when or where he came to be. What he can tell you was from the moment he came into existence, he knew nothing but shackles and pain. As a Hellhound, Jasper is able to shift between a human form, and a giant dog. Both of these forms have the ability to take on a stance which brings about hellish flames that could melt skin from bone in the blink of an eye. And Jasper was made to do so for decades. A weapon behind the iron curtain until one day, a bleeding heart freed the experiments with deadly consequences.
Some blame the death of the Russian leadership on the war. Others knew better. Hellhounds and other creatures crafted, conjured, were finally free to reign terror and torture down on those who did the same to them. Jasper was no exception, exacting the same levels of agony on those who did the same to them before he was brought to the free world. But what did freedom mean? Everything came with a price, that much was certain.
Over the years Jasper adapted, gave himself a name. Now, as a hitman and a bodyguard, he spends his time protecting or murdering those who aren't deemed necessary in the world. Always following a command until he's able to realize his potential or his purpose. Whichever comes first.

happy saturday y’all if ur in my time zone or any other nearby ones! Here’s a “When The Angels Left The Old Country” by Sacha Lamb!
TUMBLRIANS!! Greetings!! As of the publication date of this review, it will have been about 5-6 days since I finished reading When The Angels Left The Old Country by Sacha Lamb! And ugh! What an excellent book. Up at the tippy top of my mental rankings along with A Lesbiana’s Guide To Catholic School. (P.S., I’m sticking true to my word and developing a weekly schedule! I’m publishing reviews every Saturday! Every other day of the week I’ll just..do whatever I want lol.)
I don’t think I fit into the intended demographic of this book; I have not watched a minute of Good Omens in my life (I only knew that it borrowed a bit from the basic premise/setup based on reviews by people who have watched or read it), nor am I Jewish! The Hebrew and Yiddish glossary at the end was greatly appreciated for the latter reason lmao, although I could guess what some things were based on context clues it was good to have the extra help for visualization. (I picture stuff in my head like a movie when I’m reading, so it can throw me off if I miss a detail.) Regardless, I got sucked into the world of this book, and how culturally rich it felt; the Yiddish/Hebrew/Jewish aspects blended in effortlessly and never felt once like they were being shoved into a line or piece of dialogue. And consequently, I became terribly invested in all of the characters. (“Terribly” meant in an 18th-century-lady-saying-“very much” way, not the negative connotation!) I loved to tune into an angels and demons story that wasn’t exclusively Catholic or Christian(and acknowledged the existence of other religions, too!), and there was something so uniquely poetic about both Little Ash and Uriel discovering what it means to be human, on top of realizing they’re becoming a bit more like that the further along the story they are.
Oh my goodness though, I’ve never wanted a book to be a little more under the romance subgenre than this one. Uriel and Little Ash’s relationship was just..beautiful. I so badly wanted them to get together like the other romantic pairing we get in this story (that one felt a little rushed admittedly, it felt more like infatuation and a fun little fling than genuine romance and we didn’t get a ton of development between the two). (Folks who read the book, you know what I mean.) Although I do think that it would change some of the writing and I wouldn’t want that to happen, I think it’s good as is and I suppose it’s nice that you don’t have that at the front and center so it doesn’t distract from the plot. Not that Sacha Lamb ever rules out the possibility of them getting together, but it just doesn’t get finalized ☹️. You can see how their affection towards each other changes to become a bit more romantic towards the middle of the story, and..goodness. They’re just so sweet. I usually don’t get emotional over a book romance, but these guys?? They’re everything to me!!! They should’ve kissed damnit. LET ASHEL AND URIEL KISS GODDAMNIT!!!
Anyhow! I also really loved the characters. Uriel and Little Ash/Ashel(I call him a lot of things in this review sorry) complimented each other’s personalities well! Although there was a possibility that Ashel’s “always sniffing around for sinners and mischief whenever he can” gimmick has the potential to get old after a while, as well as Uriel’s moral perfection being the foil to that (and acting as a means of keeping him in check), but both characters undergo their own changes and arcs, meaning that neither become “tired”. I liked their banter too. And Rose was a force of her own, a “firecracker” as I’ve seen another reviewer describe, her and the other two worked well as a trio once she became accustomed to both of them(+Ashel didn’t see the point in messing with her anymore lmao) and I liked seeing them become more of a friend group as the story progressed.
Also, this was one of the only times where I’ve felt truly satisfied by the ending of a non-contemporary novel! So that was a nice surprise. (So many sequels and open endings nowadays!) (I sound like a boomer, sorry.)
Overall, it was a well-written book, one of my favorites at that, and I’ll definitely recommend it to those who read historical fiction. No spoiler section for this review, everyone! I don’t have a ton I feel the need to rant about, which I can’t tell is because of my enjoyment of this book or because this week has been truly exhausting (and it’s taken everything in me to gather up my remaining energy and finish this review). (Apologies for those who saw my deleted post, I haven’t been in the best state.)
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars!
Paz, signing off!
(Book trigger/content warnings: Historical xenophobia and antisemitism, violence, some blood.)

Custom Toonami Block Week 117 Rundown
Kaguya-sama: Love is War: So we actually get some continuity this time and most of this episode deals with the fallout of the whole Kaguya sleeping with Miyuki while she was sick thing. They start out with a cake fight which is pretty silly but it is rather cute to see them being actively catty to each other instead of passive-aggressive. Next we just kinda have a discussion by proxy about whether or not the aforementioned bed-sleeping was anything wrong, like on the one hand Kaguya’s friend brings up a good point that it’s basically like being drunk and you can’t establish consent but on the other hand she did literally drag Miyuki into bed physically and while he probably could’ve done more to refuse it does muddy the waters a bit. Also Ishigami keeps going back and forth between being genuinely likeable and being an incel so I can’t really get a bead on him. Last up we have the gang now that they’ve made up plotting the summer trip they were debating in the first few episodes. Long story short Chika has crazy plans so Kaguya and Miyuki are gonna do date shit while Ishigami’s there as an excuse for it to technically not be date shit.
Inuyasha: This is the episode of mid-level fights, Miroku and Sango actually get to do some shit against Naraku’s demons in the mountain and Kagura and when Inuyasha goes to search for them he gets purified and has to fight Renkotsu as a human and suddenly a bazooka is a lot more deadly when you can’t fire sword beams. Also Kagome is stuck on the sidelines because why send the Priestess who may actually get MORE powerful in a holy mountain barrier when you can send the demon who could potentially die just from being there. Anyway since Sango’s best weapon has to go through the air and Kagura controls the air that doesn’t go well and she gets knocked out. Miroku has to suck up a ton of poison to save her and fends of Kagura impressively enough like it’s kinda badass to just watch him tank dozens of demons and make them legit scare of him. Him and Sango have a bit where they resign themselves to dying together but they just so happen to be in a part of the mountain that purifies the poison in Miroku and stops the demons from attacking them… boy that’s lucky. Anyway Jakotsu gives Suikotsu’s jewel shard to Bankotsu and they just kinda have a bro moment about it before Renkotsu sends Jakotsu to fight Human!Inuyasha.
Yu Yu Hakusho: It’s the finale of Yusuke vs Toguro, the climax of the whole Dark Tournament arc. Like I said last time it’s really kinda cool that Yusuke’s Super Saiyan transformation isn’t rage, but sadness, like he just looks so depressed and lets Toguro beat him up for a while but he’s so strong now he can just take it, like super saiyan super self-loathing. They go back and forth about their philosophies and how much Yusuke’s grown because of his connections and emotional vulnerabilities while Toguro’s run from it and it’s pretty good and they decide to just finish it with a beam struggle… except Toguro doesn’t have a beam attack so it’s just kinda him facetanking Yusuke’s 100% Sadness Spirit Gun and Toguro goes into 110% for real this time final mode. Turns out both are down and Toguro’s shell shatters and Yusuke gets back up first so yeah, Yusuke wins, woo.
Fate/Apocrypha: Mordred’s about to fuck up Sieg and Astolfo but Fran jumps her and they do their shit, she gets a command seal used on her and idk what it was for exactly whether it was a power-up to hit Mordred or they teleported Fran here with it or what. Still Mordred kinda kicks everyone’s ass and the only one to really hurt her is Sieg doing the whole ‘stab behind the back’ trope and it doesn’t seem all that bad plus she kills him for it. Fran does her big Tree thing which it’s been a while since I read Frankenstein but I don’t remember that in the book and her Master uses the last Command Seal to help her but Morgan’s super tough so all it did was annoy her really. Also Sieg is back to life now because of lightning trees restarting his heart and some Dragonheart reason idk but he’s Siegfried again now and him and Mordred are gonna have the lightsaber fight that was teased in the cold open for the season.
Nisemonogatari: We finally get to Tsukihi’s story halfway through Tsukihi’s arc, long story short Kiyomi has way too much fun stripping his little sisters down and notices Tsukihi has healed where scars should be. Then he takes Shinobu to the donut shop that somehow keeps getting business in the middle of nowhere and they find out Kaiki is still there and didn’t leave town like he said, at least not yet. He gives them the low-down on the two girls they met before how they’re apparition hunters and colleagues of Oshino or at last karate girl is and the one who speaks like she’s narrating a novel is a Familiar. They come home to find said girls already at their door and the familiar blows Tsukihi’s top half off to make a point about her being a phoenix and just pretending to be human so they’re here to kill her. Shinobu flexes her street cred and they decide to postpone it by a day so Kiyomi freaks out slightly less but yeah Tsukihi’s an imposter I guess but since it’s anime not really I’m assuming but whatever.
Speed Grapher: Saiga and Kagura head to the genetics lab Kagura’s real dad worked at and they don’t get any real answers but it looks like some fucked up shit so Saiga thinks they enforced Kagura’s mutation onto her and now it’s caused the tumor that’s killing her. Suitengu shows up and is ready for midboss time since we’re almost halfway done the show now he has to show what he can do. Ginza confronts Kagura’s mom about her and apparently gets back onto Saiga’s trail. Meanwhile Suitengu and Saiga finally meet and Suitengu’s just like ‘here’s all the pics of the peeps you killed and a a suitcase of money, gimme Kagura please’ which he understandably isn’t down for. Suitengu claims Kagura was born with her mutation and refuses to elaborate on what sort of genetics shit they did at the lab but confirms that Kagura’s saliva is an activator for a virus wherein carriers can become Euphorics (which idk if it’s just her saliva can’t you just have someone drink that do we really need the Eyes Wide Shut cult underground and dressing her up like a stripper every night and hoping she doesn’t notice? Also wonder if other fluids work too or if it’s just saliva but this is probably an unproductive line of thinking). Suitengu then decides to fight Saiga and has the most edgy anime power ever and can manipulate his own blood into demonic angel wings so be because becomes Blood Sephiroth with the powers of the Deadman Wonderland guys for a while and the edgy teen in my heart loves it so much. Saiga gets his ass kicked and his camera broke but manages to escape where Ginza picks him up and stuffs him into her trunk to go take care of Kagura.
Durararax2: Shit continues hitting the fan for like the fourth episode in a row and everyone just kinda sits down to have a talk about what to do in the final act. Izaya’s all ‘we gotta kill Shizuo for real for real this time’ while Saki and Anri have a talk about their boys and Saki gives Anri the ‘you can love if you want to’ speech for the third time, hopefully it sticks this time. Chikage and Masaomi talk about what to do and Chikage just wants to straight call Mikdao and initiate the climax before shit gets too real but Masaomi doesn’t like climaxes so they fight on it and decide to have Chikage call him. Meanwhile Mikado meets with Izumii who presumably gives him a gun from the yakuza puppeteers trying to escalate the situation, like you know it’s a Japanese show when getting a gun is a major plot point, in America they don’t even bother to show where anybody gets a gun it’s just kinda assumed anyone wanting to fight has one.

👀👀👀
send in a 👀 for oc lore!!!!
you get 3 hits and i'll mix it up a bit on who we're talking about
my top oc is Brooke who's Buffy's younger identical twin sister and became a slayer at the same time as her. she stemmed from a thought experiment about how slayers work and things that could glitch it like say, potentially identical twins. it's also a way to explore the whole slayer vs girl thing. the best way to describe her is aesthetically 00s Britney meets Sporty Spice and personality wise she's a mix of Faith and Buffy. if Cordelia is Buffy's "rode not traveled" shadow self then Brooke is faith's Cordelia, she's kinda coarse sports girl ace who when she fails into some Serious Life Issues like drugs has family and friends who support her. it a version of life i can see faith thriving in but she never got. they also date in s3 (it goes badly lol). the twins tend to share slayer dreams and if one dies the other will also die because they're not 2 slayers like Buffy and Faith, they register as 1 slayer (like i said before they're a slayer glitch) and they found that out the hard way. i could go on for ages but i will Refrain lol
the next two ocs are ones who come from the same fic universe as brooke but i also in other stories two bc why???? make more when you have perfectly good ocs at home????
Charlotte Worth is a watcher who gets assigned to faith and has big emma frost energy. she's a wealthy new englander who like, Cares About Children even while being a stole cold bitch. she and Faith end up having a good relationship bc Charlotte consistenly got to bat for her and is just very Mom-Like to her which you know..... kinda fucks Faith up a lot lol. she's a necromancer as well and not afraid to use that against people. in one fic i have her using her necromancy to solve the whole "Darla has to die to save the baby" shit in ats. and like yeah it kills her but only for a second! she gets better! she's between Giles and Wesley in age and she bullies both of them.
Katherine "Kat" Farwell is the scion of the Farwell family, one the founding families of Sunnydale (so they're evil lol). She's also not the host for an old one. she is an old one. basically her family is the sunnydale branch of a global cult spanning millennia that worships the power that be/old one whomst created humankind and have worked to slowly return them to the earth after they died trying to build a utopia for humanity safe from the demons of the primordial age. ofc this means deals with demons, ritual sacrifices, magic eugenics etc etc etc. like Kat had siblings! never met any of them! did get fed them tho! the idea is just bringing forth more of their god's essence and then distilling it into a single host via breeding and cannibalism and that kinda shit (it's all only possibly bc mankind was made from this old one's flesh so). it's terrible! kat's nice tho. she's a mix of daria and rory from gilmore girls. she's class president and one of the only 2 survivors of the sunnydale high art club. between the fights with glory and jasmine (whomst she devours ofc) she fully transitions to pure old one and is honestly like.... Weirder But The Same tbh. she doesn't look different like illyria vs fred but she has an uncanny valley vibe to her looks. she's basically you know, an eldritch god on earth that no one could kill if they tired but she's nice and not interested in destroying the world so it works out. maloker is her archnemesis bc they're STILL pissed off about the defilement and corruption of their fave creation he did in the making of vampires. the mc vampires get a pass but they're on THIN ICE.
