Hiiiii how have you been love bug? (Please tell me if your uncomfortable with that term since you are non-binary and they/them I’m not sure what nicknames you are uncomfortable with it’s just what I call my friends and just a nickname I have for people in general🫶🏻🫶🏻 ) so I’d like to to request farah with a adhd reader who is hyper forgetful and sometimes has meltdowns ( as someone with adhd)🧡🧡🧡

Hey! I'm fine! Bought some more yarn for my leftover blanket today, which I'm excited to work on! And don't worry, I think love bug is really cute! I don't mind most nicknames, but thank you for being considerate, I really do appreciate it! Hope you're doing well as well ^^

I don't have ADHD, so I don't know at all what it's like for someone with it! I had to do some research on it, so I don't know if these are actually viable methods of helping, but I tried! Please do correct me with something that might help and I'll add it in this post afterwards! I hope this is enjoyable to you regardless! Thank you for the request!

Farah with a Reader with ADHD

Farah doesn’t particularly know a lot about mental illnesses. She may be traumatized, yes, but that doesn’t mean she ever had the time to research any of them. So she’s definitely not the best person to go to when it comes to things like these, but she tries, even if she can’t always understand everything that’s going on. You’re suffering, and that’s enough for her to know she should do something to help you.

You being this forgetful may be a cause of concern for her, though. It’s not every day she meets someone who forgot what they did five minutes prior. It’s especially concerning when it’s something important, though, like seeing a doctor. Although she may be worried for you potentially developing something as severe as dementia eventually, she’ll try to push her worries aside and help you to the best of her abilities. If you ever need reminders, she can help you. Farah remembers and retains things very well, she’s never had any issues with it since she had to in order to get by. If you need to remember something, she’ll remind you a few times a day. You have an appointment? Don’t forget about it tomorrow, I’ll tell you again then. However, she’s also a big fan of post its and will write down whatever it is you may need and place it somewhere she knows you’re going to see it. I know, out of sight, out of mind, but she’ll also text you and have you make reminders on your phone for important things so you don’t forget. Won’t get mad at you for forgetting your anniversary, she can see that it’s hard for you to remember things and won’t yell at you or anything either. However, she will mention that it was your anniversary, or maybe her birthday. For the most part she just wants to spend those days with you, if she can, and will thus remind you. Again, you don’t need to feel ashamed for forgetting, she’ll tell you that it’s quite alright and that you shouldn’t worry. She’s patient like that.

If you have a meltdown in front of her, she definitely would not know what to do at first. Depending on what kind of meltdown it is, she’ll react differently. If it creeps up on you, slowly making you irritated, then she’ll ask you what’s wrong. Regardless of your answer, she’ll ask you how she can help you, if you would like to be left alone or if you would like to take a small break in any way. She gets it and she’ll get you away from whatever is stressing you out so you can slowly recharge. If you really do want to be left alone for a while, she will comply, but will knock on your door to check up on you every once in a while and will bring you some food as well. Farah just wants you to be well, so she’ll take care of you how she thinks might help. Food is always good, food usually helps her, so she hopes it’ll do the same for you as well.

If it’s a sudden meltdown where you don’t know where left and right are anymore, then she’ll get you away from everyone else at first. While she can’t imagine what it’s like for you, it likely isn’t very pleasant for you to be crying and screaming in front of other people. Hoping that you trust her, she’ll try to ground you, asking you how you’re feeling, what you’re feeling and how she could help you. What happened is also another question she would ask you. Again, she won’t really know what to do on her own, but she tries her best. Farah will talk to you in a soothing tone and try to distract you at first so you can calm down a bit. Whether it be cracking a joke or asking you about your top five favorite reptiles. Even if you can’t answer her properly, she’ll just reassure you that it’s okay, that everything is just bad in this moment and that it’ll pass. She’s with you this entire time and won’t leave you unless you want her to. Asks you to breathe a bit with her. In all your time being together, she’s likely learned a breathing technique or two that might help you.

Once your meltdown is over, she’ll be very gentle with you, especially if she can see you’re beating yourself up over it. You really shouldn’t feel ashamed for something that you can’t help, it’s not your fault. If you feel especially down, she’ll give you a kiss on the forehead and get some ice cream with you. Something like a meltdown seems exhausting to her. While she doesn’t want to seem like she’s rewarding you for having a meltdown, she does want you to be kind to yourself afterwards, that’s what the ice cream is for. And if you don’t want ice cream, then some berries, fruits or a small snack will suffice as well. Either way, she’s there for you the entire time until you feel better.

#cod #cod x reader #farah karim #farah karim x reader #I didn't think anyone at all would notice or remember that I'm non binary #I don't really mention that fact as much as other things but it makes me happy that some people do pay attention!#also love bug is a really cute nickname! your friends must be very lucky to have someone like you in their lives!#again I don't have ADHD I only have schizophrenia and there doesn't seem to be too much of an overlap among them #so I really don't know what it's like to live with ADHD but I get the forgetfulness #I have so many reminders on my phone and on small paper notes it's incredible #I also journal every day so I don't forget what I did during the day. that's one of my best habits yet #but yeah I'm also the kind of person who can't remember what they did five minutes ago and it's so very frustrating #sometimes I wanna look something up on google only to forget five seconds later what it was #sometimes retracing my steps helps me remember but not always unfortunately it's very annoying #but we are just so very strong for living with our mental illnesses!!#being mentally ill is exhausting and I can't think of any positives either #I know it may seem hard at times but it's important to be patient with oneself. I learned that the hard way #so please do be kind to yourself anon! you deserve it! you seem like such a nice person!

Hey! You mentioned a while back that if the other dimension Dipper/Mabel/Ford might call the penthouse for advice in dealing with their Bill, and Familiar!Dipper might pick up the "call". I've been rereading the Bill v Bill series and can't get the scene out of my head. Any chance you'd be interested in writing it?

I'm certainly interested in writing it! I think there's a lot of opportunity for Shenanigans, and that's totally my jam.

The problem is: Actually Getting Around to writing it. But perhaps one day!

#answers #I do have some very amusing ideas for it #But sadly they can't all fit in the same fic #I have to carefully select which ones work best and mesh with each other to create a Structure™#Which is a whole thing #But perhaps I shall get around to it #In the meantime I'm almost done with this short 'Dipper forced to tell the truth' thing so we'll see how that goes #One potential thing I envisioned at one point was the Other Universe (or specifically that Dipper)#Trying to Spy on Bill to figure out if he could find a weakness. A crack in his defenses. A way to get that Dipper out of his clutches!!#Sadly he doesn't find any of that #He does see Bill with who he assumes is his husband though! Not sure who it is; can't see his face #Dipper doubts Bill would be taking a nap with his head on a non-hubby chest. Hugging them around the torso lying between their legs #IS that.... cuddling. No it can't be. It feels super weird to observe and now Other Dipper's uncomfortable #The person Bill's lying on is some guy who's fully clothed but it feels weirdly creepy to be watching anyway #Even though said guy is just dicking around on his phone. At one point he swats Bill for presumably no reason and that's amusing at least #Other Dipper decides he's gonna quit while he's ahead. Spying's not a great idea when who the hell knows could be going on the other end #(Our Dipper was playing a crossword and woke Bill up to provide an answer)#Clue: 'Suave' five letters. Third letter is 'u' Answer: Acute

#i had to make a vet appointment and Wow i am not cut out for this whole independent adult thing lmfao #i had to write down a little script for myself...#i feel so bad for the receptionist i was stumbling and 'uhhhhh'ing my way through that call #fuck and when i was supposed to end the call. i didnt realize #I DONT KNOW THE PROTOCOL OKAY #do i hang up??? do i say bye??? she didnt say bye so was there something else i was supposed to say #she hung up so Yay but oughhhhhhh what the fuck #youre telling me people just Know how to carry a conversation? they just Know the routine? sounds fake #i had to rev myself up for the call too #put on a hat. put on sunglasses to trick my brain into thinking we're outside doing things thus fabricating confidence #phone in one hand fidget-dodecahedron in the other. Pacing #my brain is a normal brain that works perfectly fine thanks for asking #absolutely unprompted #i feel so connected to my neanderthal ancestors when i have to make a call #theyre being stalked by a smilodon... i have to talk to a person... same Fear <3 #no but fr whenever i have to talk to someone my thought process shuts down Completely and i forget that im a living human being #fight or flight - neither. freeze and play dead #i think in my next life... i would like to be... a decorative plant #perhaps one of those tall ferns outside a seaside barbecue restaurant #i'd Win at that life. id be so good at photosynthesizing & rustling in the ocean breeze

do you spend many of your waking hours on social media? do you feel like it's a problem? in this world of late stage capitalism, your time and attention is actively being harvested by big corporations. it's.. not good. it also just makes you feel bad!

here are some tips that have really helped me reduce the amount of time i give to these apps & get in control of my social media addiction:

1. IDENTIFY PROBLEM APPS

you probably know which apps you spend the most time on. however, looking at real data about usage is very helpful because time spent on social media is very deceiving. keep in mind which apps you spend the most time looking at and interacting with for the rest of this list.

2. TURN OFF NOTIFICATIONS

this is probably the easiest thing to do and it makes an immense difference. it's up to your discretion which notifications you want to keep on (turning on messaging notifications but turning off algorithm and interaction notifs for example) but, the most effective way to stay off problem apps is to turn off ALL notifications.

3. TURN OFF NOTIFICATION SOUNDS

i always keep my phone on silent. i understand that not all people have that privilege but, if you're able to i would highly highly recommend. it has helped me a lot with anxieties regarding waiting for notifications. i used to experienced the phantom vibrate and check my phone obsessively when nothing would happen. you can also just turn off notification sounds and vibrations for any non necessity apps if you don't want to jump to turning off all notifications.

4. CHANGE THE PLACEMENT OF PROBLEM APPS

i actually learned this trick from facebook when they changed the UI slightly so you had to be more intentional in interacting with the app. changing the layout of the apps on your phone really helps you catch yourself when you are automatically opening up apps that cost you time and attention. instead of keeping social media apps on the homescreen, keep it on a different screen, in a folder, & if possible out of the preview window for the folder.

if you want to expand on this more, you could keep a log in a notes app of every time you reached for an app that has since moved. you can even put the notes app in its place!

5. UTILIZE APP TIMERS

my experience is based on samsung app timers so i'm not sure how it differs in different makes. i really dont like my phone telling me i can't do something so i've set my tumblr timer to the highest end of my usage data (2hrs 10 minutes). another mindfulness thing that i like about using the timers is that when i'm switching between apps, my phone tells me how much time left i have (it's currently 1 hour 21 minutes, most of the 49 minutes i've spent writing this lol). i'm just a slut for data so i really like this aspect of the samsung app timer function and it's very useful besides this point.

6. DELETE APPS

okay, i know this seems drastic. but it doesn't NEED to be depending on your habitual problem apps. apps like youtube, instagram, facebook, and tumblr (to a lesser extent ime) (and probably others these are just the ones i have experience with) can pretty easily be transferred to being used exclusively on a web browser. if you use firefox it will even get rid of ads which is very important for overall sanity and for safe web browsing. one of the biggest plusses to moving from an app to a web browser is that it won't automatically play your platform's version of tiktoks. it also makes it more difficult to upload items which is a plus because it will hinder you from doing so and cut back on the loop of expecting validation from recently posted content.

opening instagram without immediately being enthralled by their endless stream of reels has made it SO much easier to control my time on the site. there are tons of plusses to transferring from app browsing to web browsing.

so on the more drastic side, if you are addicted to tiktok you maybe should just delete it. tiktok is intentionally designed so you can't use it in a web browser and can only use it in the app. i will talk more about tiktok and how evil it is later in this post.

7. MOVE DMS TO MESSAGING APPS

if a hesitation to turning off notifactions or deleting apps is from not wanting to miss conversations from online friends, i understand your pain. but, if you are serious about cutting down screen time on apps that are absolutely draining your attention, talk to your friends about switching to a different messaging app. i would suggest signal personally.

your friends may be experiencing similar problems with phone addiction and even if they aren't, if they care about you, they will make this accommodation to help you in this process. i get that this is very scary but i believe in you.

8. USE TIME ON YOUR PHONE FOR OTHER THINGS

depending on your goals for how you spend your time, there are plenty of alternatives to social media / other problem apps you may have. personally i have downloaded a bunch of books on my reading list and will divert attention from dopamine pumping social media to reading. you can find tons of free pdfs of books online and if you are used to reading on your phone, it won't be a difficult transition to read longer form narratives from short text posts.

there are free art apps, language learning apps, self care / journaling apps, meditation apps, etc. that you can use when on your phone. this may seem counterintuitive, getting more apps to battle certain app addictions. but, simply weakening the habit that brings you to the apps that you spend so much time on should help. but watch out for apps that claim they are to teach or better you but have social media built into them / other tricks that keep you glued to your screen. everyone is trying to mine your attention so be wary of all apps and the methods they use to keep you engaged.

9. DON’T BE AFRAID TO PUT YOUR PHONE BACK DOWN AFTER PICKING IT UP

idk if this is a weird one or not but, you know the feeling of going into a room to do something but you forget what so you putter around trying to remember? i feel like going on your phone when you have a phone addiction is often a state of that except the majority of the time you DON’T have a purpose to go on it. so even though it may feel silly, opening your phone only to close it right after is PERFECTLY FINE.

IN CONCLUSION, phone usage is pretty inevitable in this day and age. i've considered getting rid of my phone entirely but, between the expectation to be constantly reachable from employers to QR code menus at restaurants, it just doesn't seem reasonable to get rid of my phone completely. and i will readily admit its convenience and functionality is life changing and wonderful.

however in late stage capitalism, technology doesn't only work for you but it harvests you -- your data, your habits, your time, your attention, your wants, your needs, your thoughts. even leftist spaces with good intentions can trap you (doom scrolling). when i was becoming radicalized during the beginning of the pandemic i spent sooo much time online reading about all these horrible truths of imperialism, colonization, and capitalism, and i felt it was my duty to share these horrors with other people to radicalize them. but it was so unhealthy, especially when shit hit the fan (which it was like constantly doing) because everyone was posting about the horrors and it felt utterly inescapable.

after following some of these steps (which i did in stages over the course of a few years), my relationship with social media has improved greatly and my mental health is actually significantly better. all of this is based on personal experience and observation and this post is specifically for people who want to cut down on phone usage, it's not supposed to be a preachy post that's telling people they spend too much time on their phone.

it's also nowhere near complete. it doesn't tackle addictions to games on phones nor the notorious tiktok. i said i would talk about it later and here it is. i have a chalkboard in my kitchen and all it has written on it is "tiktok is the devil". i have never seen such a commonly used app that has such a degrading effect on all of its users. and it set a precedent to all other social media apps for autoplaying videos that demand user engagement. i was on tiktok for a little less than a year and the way that it would sap anywhere from 20 minutes to over 3 hours of my time when i told myself i'd only watch a few videos was insane. as an aspiring creator i felt that i needed to hop on it to get recognition but now, i don't see it as anything more than a tarpit to trap as many people as possible in its dopamine rich algorithm. but whatever, that's just my little rant. as a social experiment i think it's fascinating lol and i for the creators it's benefited im very happy for them.

anywayy, i hope this helps someone if it gets any attention at all lol. remember no one can make the decision of how you spend your time on or offline but you. not some stranger on the internet, not corporations, no one. you are in control of your time (well besides the whole having to work most of your waking hours to survive but that's what communism is for yayy).

#tumblr #social media #social media addiction #phone addiction #capitalism #dystopia #important #i hope at least one person reads this 😭#but forreal distancing myself from my phone and being more present in my life has improved it sooo much #cannot emphasize this enough #also phone addiction is not a morally bad thing just like any addiction!!!#the irony of me posting this and then staying on the app waiting to see if it gets engagement #ahhh addiction

Hey fellow milkweed nerds of Tumblr I have a question.

So. Swamp milkweed. It's pink! That's pretty cool. I wanna know how pink.

Because whenever I google Swamp Milkweed, whether its to look for seeds or plants for sale or just to show other people, the flowers look like this.

[ID: Three pictures of swamp milkweed, all a very very bright vivid hot pink with white middles.]

Thats Fucking Hot Pink. This bright ass pink is what drew me to the plant in the first place. If I were to find my Dream Swamp Milkweed, it would be this pink.

However, a lot of the times, I end up finding swamp milkweed that looks more like this.

[ID: Two pictures of swamp milkweed, both from the same plant. The flowers are a light, nearly white, light pink.]

Its a much lighter, more of a strawberry-milk pink. These are pictures I took from my own swamp milkweed plant, but from the pictures I've seen in my gardening server, a lot of them have plants in a color similar to this.

So what I'm curious about is. If you grow swamp milkweed, or have seen it growing in the wild, have you ever seen it as pink in the first example? Or is it just Photoshop magic? And if you do have it that pink... do you have any seeds you'd be willing to share?

#milkweed #swamp milkweed #pollinator gardening #pollinator garden #asclepias #asclepias incarnata #like im genuinely curious #as the self proclaimed milkweed queen of Tumblr I Want To Know #and also as the self proclaimed milkweed queen of Tumblr if you have a vivid pink milkweed plz send me pics and also seeds #i can send mexican sunflower seeds in return if you want even #i genuinely wanna know because I swear when I see images of vivid pink milkweeds its either a site trying to sell milkweed #or a site trying to promote native milkweeds #NOW. I bought some bare root plants from Home Depot #they haven't flowered yet but if they come back next year and they're vivid ass hot pink then I'll have fulfilled this Research Question #but until they flower next year (if they even come back I kinda neglected them on accident) I am DYING to know #i have seen NO ONE thats like a real person with bright ass pink milkweed #is it a thing they do when the plants are older? is it a specific strain everyone's going crazy over? or is it photoshop #vote now on your phones #ani rambles #out of queue

I can fix him*

*bad writing, underutilized gameplay mechanics, characters with unfulfilled potential, funded by bootlickers

#ra speaks #personal #sorry I made dr phone calls and have like. ten minutes til I gotta get ready for first class of the semester. let me have this.#I think I should get every COD game ever for free. it’s MY tax dollars at work after all (actually anything produced w us military funding #should be free I think I can trap even my bootlicker tax hating dad into getting onboard w this one)#anyways. ghosts was…decent. but jfc if you give me a silent protag I expect SOME self awareness in the writing.#why are characters calling to him on comms when they know he won’t respond? why doesn’t he have an AAC device or something more futuristic?#I’m just saying if you explicitly limit a character you need to respect those limits in te writing. it’s not that hard.#like non of the characters even acknowledge that Logan never talks. esp weird when he first meets the ghosts #also. obv not a big fan of ‘all of South America has United into evil space terrorists’ but it was 2013 so ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯#wish we got to see some SDC civis y’know? get a bear on the average attitudes abt the whole. invading the US thing.#(jfc do not get me started on The Wall like this is a 2016 trump voter’s power fantasy)#also Riley was such an interesting mechanic why couldn’t they have at least substituted him w drones or something on the other missions??#you get him for like. two missions. and then he gets shot and you have to protect him (gosh I actually loved that section)#just. it was clear Logan was The Dog Guy with an aptitude for tech. honestly Hesh felt more like the MC than Logan.#and while Logan doesn’t have a ton of personality we can glean as a result of non speaking + ZERO communication at all ever #seriously he doesn’t even like. wave or give thumbs up to people wtf dude do ppl just assume he’s psychic or something???#I do LOVE the few scenes we get with him acting outside of player control/where he actually has agency (Elias’ death. the final cutscene)#and like it’s not much but it’s enough that I WANT to see what happens next #but alas. a decade old game without a true sequel (I think??? haven’t actually looked into it.)#my brother is making fun of me for being a COD gamer now like boy. I have no defense pls be nice to me T-T

~Proposing to~

Mammon x gn!MC

A/N: This is part 2 of the serries where MC is the one to propose to the characters. Please enjoy ^-^

This will either end as a night to remember or a complete disaster. Mammon convinced you to go with him to a 'really special place'. You thought this was your chance to finally propose but now you were not so sure.

The special place he told you about just so happened to be an underground casino. The place looked absolutely dazzling despite being an illegal casino, with demons and witches dressed like they came straight out of a fashion magazine. Both of you were dressed also in some of your best clothes, but you still got a bad feeling at the back of your mind.

Depending on your timing, the proposal could be ruined, and as much as you would want to propose on another day, the thought of proposing to him as he wins just seemed so much more tempting than just some old fashioned proposal.

"Heyyy, earth to MC, are ya still there?" Mammon was weaving his hand in front of your face to bring you back from whatever thoughts you were having. "Now that you're back, you can finally enjoy the show I am about to put on. Ya don't wanna miss the Great Mammon making all the demons around here go broke!"

"Just make sure you don't end up losing all of your money after winning." You said as a matter of fact.

Mammon knew the ins and outs of gambling, he knew how to get money out of demons, he wansn't the avatar of greed for nothing but he also got a tendency to get cocky and make risky bets that would lead to losing all the money he won until that point. In order for your plan to work you have to stop him before he would lose all his money, but let him win enough bets to get him in a good mood.

"Mammon, what do you say we start with a round of black jack?" You suggested, trying to make him start with easier stuff.

Flashing you a big grin, he took your hand and went straight to the table where people were placing their bets for black jack. Squizing your hand one last time, Mammon took his seat and turned all of his attention to the game. If you didn't had to focus on the game you swore you could just watch him play all night. You didn't know what made him so attractive in the moment. Maybe it was his confidence and the way he handled himself, or his calculating look transforming into one of satisfaction as he won yet another bet or maybe it was the greed of the demons around making Mammon seem all the more powerfull.

You guess, in a way, you lost yourself a bit in the greed too. There was something about Mammon that made you not pay attention to anything other than him. Placing bets, eating and drinking demons in the VIP area, fooling around, you were having so much fun you nearly forgot why you were there in the first place.

It wasn't until Mammon's voice brought you back to earth for a second time that night. "What do ya say we go to the slot machines? I'm feeling really lucky right now after winning so many time." Oh no...His eyes had a golden shine to them, and the tone of his voice made you uneasy.

You had to act fast, both for your plan and for the sake of Mammon's wallet. But what could cause the avatar of greed to forget about a gamble without making you seem suspicious or ruining the mood? He nearly got to the slot machine when an idea suddenly strucked you.

"Say, Mammon, what if we make a bet that would just be ours, that no other demon could have?" Hearing about having something that others don't, something just between the two of you, he couldn't help but forget about whatever he was doing, after all, you were more of a priority than any gamble in the three realms. "That's my human!" Putting an arm around your waist he leaned closer to you, so whatever you would say, it would be heard only by him. He was so close you could feel his breath down your neck, sending shivers down your spine. Was he always this smooth when he was on a winning streak?

Before you could lose yourself again you started to speak, even if you didn't have a proper plan yet. "We need to go to a more private first, how about the balcony?"

The avatar of greed seemed deep in thought for a few seconds before flashing you a big smile. "Ya just know how to make me have a good time, lead the way then, treasure!"

Both of you started to make your way towards the balcony, in what seemed to be a comofortable silence between the two of you. While from the outside everything seemed perfectly fine, your mind was racing to find any idea. What kind of bet could you even make on a balcony? How fast can you reach the ground? That wouldn't do.

You looked around, trying to find any clue in order to make a plan, when you spotted a demon flipping a coin. That's when you finally got a proper idea in your head, just in time as you reached the balcony. "Now that we're here, what's that bet ya were talking about?"

Reaching into your pocket you took out a coin. "Really, flipping a coin is your big idea of a bet-" You cut him off before he could say anything more.

"It's the prize that makes it worth it. If it lands on tail, you have to say yes to whatever I ask next, if it lands on head...well I guess you can decide what you want to do as a prize." Hearing the last part seemed to make him receptive to the bet.

Without waiting anymore you flipped the coin into the air. It seemed really fitting in a way, to propose to the avatar of greed using a bet, but that made you just as anxious. It could easily land on head and destroy any chance of proposing tonight.

The coin landing on the back of your hand made your heart beat so fast you swore Mammon could hear it from where he was standing.

"Tail, huh? Seems like ya won this bet." You won? You won! Now you just have to propose...shit you have to propose. You got so into making sure you win the bet you didn't have time to feel nervous about it, that was until now at least.

"MC, are you ok? Are you that surprised you won?" Mammon furrowed his eyebrows as he tried to figure out what seemed to bother. Gentle hands caressed your face in an attempt to calm you down, making you melt into his touch. He seemed more like the Mammon you're used to in your day to day life than the avatar of greed.

"Can you close your eyes? I need a minute to prepare for what I am about to show you." It seemed like his attempt to calm you down worked. You felt more ready to finally propose to him than 5 minutes ago at least.

"Ya mean for the thing you made the whole bet for?" You didn't get to answear before he closed his eyes. "Just tell me when to open them."

Seeing as he closed his eyes you finally got down on one knee and took the ring out. After everything that happened tonight you didn't think you would get to finally propose to him. The risk you took with the bet really was worth it.

Before you could stay and think if Mammon's influence started to rob off on you by any chance, you took one more look at the ring. It was a beautifuk golden ring encrusted with three diamonds in the center, and two rows of smaller diamonds, one above and one below, the main three. You chose this so it would go with his usual outfits without looking out of place but still stand out from his other rings in a pleasent way.

"You can open your eyes now." Mammon could hear a slight change in your tone, it seemed softer. He wanted to ask what the deal with the change in tone was but stopped when he saw you.

"Mammon, there are many treasures out there but you are the only one I want so, would you make me the honor of marrying me? I guess, in a way, you have to say yes because of our earlier bet."

Mammon rapidly blinked away his tears, trying to look as composed as he could, not that he would admit to crying anyway. "Stupid human, I'm supposed to be the one to call you my treasure, not you."

Taking your hand, he helped you stand up. "So I can take that as a yes?" Putting the ring on his finger, Mammon pulled you in for a passionate kiss, letting his actions speak for him, you could feel his soft lips against yours and his arms wrapping around your waist. By the time you finally pulled away, you were already out of breath, your foreheads resting against each other. "Of course I wanna marry you, dummy. What kind of question is that? I'm your first man after all!"

"I don't think you realize how happy that makes me feel. Especially after the whole bet thing. If you would have said no then it would have been even more awkward." It was really stupid to think he would say no, but the possibility was always there in the end. "How many time do I have to tell ya that saying no is out of question?!" Mammon took your face into his hands and squished your cheeks while making you look at him. "Listen here cause I'm about to say it only once. I wanna marry you and only you ok? Ya belong to me and I guess, I belong to you too." He said the last part, shyly looking away for a second before making eye contact with you again. "So I don't wanna hear any nonsense about me saying no, got it?!"

"Got it!" He finally let go of your cheeks. "Now that there are no more doubts on either part we got to celebrate! Let's get out of here and go straight to an expensive restaurant, my treat this once!" He turned to leave, but you grabbed his hand. "I was the one that proposed to you, I should be the one to take you out for dinner."

"Huh?! I offered already to pay for dinner, I was the first one to do it so I win!" Mammon took out his wallet and shoved it in your face. "Especially that I wanna treat ya to a meal with all the money that I've won today!" He tried to shoot you the best puppy look he had, and you nearly gave in when you got an idea. "Should we flip the coin again? If it lands in head I pay, tails you pay, how does that sound?"

Mammon took a coin out and flipped it. Just as he was about to catch you blurted out. "I guess this counts as out first argument as a married couple." Hearing that, Mammon drops the coin and it somehow bounces off the balcony.

Now it was only you and a really flustered Mammon. "Don't say stuff like that! We ain't even married yet! I even dropped the coin.." You two looked at each other for a little bit more before bursting out laughing, this was probably the dumbest argument you had in a while between the two of you.

"How about we just leave this place first, then we can decide who pays later? How does that sound?" Mammon leaned towards you to give you one final kiss on your lips. "I think that sounds like a good enough of a plan for now"

#obey me #obey me shall we date #obey me x mc #obey me x reader #obey me mammon #obey me mammon x mc #obey me mammon x reader #obey me imagines #fun fact black jack is one of my favourite card games #god I hope I got his personality right #I wrote nearly the whole thing on paper and then I had to write it on my phone #it was hell never again
