How about some competition? Like there's this character Who is also courting SWK and Macaque's s/o A LOT. How much annoyed and jelous would they be? Bonus scene: They came over just when s/o speak back at the other:"Look, I appreciate your feelings, I really do. But I am already in love with someone else"
Vying For Your Endearment
It continues, it continues. I really liked this idea though! Don’t know how I did thoughh
Didn’t put too much in this because of the fact that I want to keep some info for my fic. Mischief mischief mischief.
I like to think that while the scent of a demon is super pungent to them— when it comes to non-demons its rather faint to barely recognizable actually.
Scenting headcanons are so quirky
I’ll fix anything later we’re on that grind boyssss
Enjoy!
─────────────────
─────────────────
Sun Wukong
♡- At first? It really wouldn’t trouble him too much. He feels unintimidated, especially if the two of you have been courting for quite some time. If it’s around courting season, it’s only expected.
♡- The only thing he truly worries about in the beginning is certain traditions for demons who take interest in a potential mate; worst case scenario is you being kidnapped by this demon, and no way is that happening on his watch.
♡- It’s way more rare nowadays, but that doesn’t mean it’s essentially out of the question! Definitely would keep a better eye on you and take you home more often himself.
♡- If nothing changes though, and he notices that the other suitor just won’t bug off after a week— that’s when it starts getting to him.
♡- Catches you talking to the other demon in public? Definitely the one to impede on the conversation. He’ll just slide on over there, wrapping an arm around your waist.
“Mind if I just borrow them for a bit? Yeahh, thanks!”
♡- If Wukong happens to visit and notices you with any slight smell (Stench, in his personal opinion.) related to the demon— boy are you in for it.
“Let go already! That’s enough!”
“Just 5 more minutes.”
♡- Not just to provide more overall affection but to drown their scent with his own. A threat on his part.
♡- Kind of but not kind of a property thing. He doesn’t want to own you of course! Never. But.. wants it known that you’re being courted by him and him only. Wukong’s personal smell of peaches is rather recognizable as well— so he wonders why such a lower class demon would attempt getting their hands on you. Do they not realize who they’re competing with?
♡- It's nothing but confusing to the monkey king. What do they have that he doesn’t? Why you of all people? Did they have a personal grudge against them with hopes of stealing you away? Why haven’t you just turned them down already?
♡- Don’t even get me started if you mention the demon in question in front of him. Expect a pouting menace.
The monkey king spoke under his breath, grumbling.
“I can do that.”
“What did you say?”
“Nothing!”
♡- Even after an explanation of demon courting by Wukong did you not realize this new demon was trying to compete for your affection. You considered them more of an acquaintance, really.
♡- So when you got the sudden confession of their admiration for you with bold claims of wanting to make you his mate?— yuck.
“I’m sorry. I appreciate your feelings, really! But I already love someone else.”
♡- If he caught you in the act like that, rejecting the demon attempting to steal his place by your side? Fist bumping the air. I mean— cough cough, he never doubted you! Himself too, yeah.
♡- Would act as if he never saw it, brush it off and wait until that poor, poor rejectee finally left you alone to interact.
♡- It’d probably be the first time you told him you loved him as well! I mean, not up front just yet, but still said it! Wouldn’t actually mention it until way later, when you’ve most likely forgotten. It was an in the moment thing!
“You know, I love you too.”
─────────────────
─────────────────
The Six-Eared Macaque
♡- On Macaque’s part, it’s an instant alarm when he’s noticed another demons aura around you. Wouldn’t make it immediately known, but try to pry out as much as he can without sounding desperate.
“So— how was your day? Anything new?”
♡- When it turns out his suspicions are correct, he already knows their intentions. Courting season would give it out immediately. Not just anyone would attempt going for you— but then again, he did.
♡- He’d definitely be overprotective in the aspect that you’re at risk of being kidnapped. Would try to follow you around way more than usual. Going to the market? He’s been needing something actually. Taking a walk? He could use one too!
♡- Basically anything that would keep him closer to you. He respects courting rituals and wouldn’t go against them until absolutely necessary, so he takes the competition. Macaque isn’t letting you get away that easily.
♡- Similar to Wukong, your scent is a big thing to him. If you don’t smell like yourself or even him, man would it irritate him beyond belief.
♡- So coating his scent over the other demon’s will always be the #1 priority when he has you alone. Maybe leave in gentle bite or two for good measure depending on how far into courting the two of you have been.
♡- Macaque also takes it as an opportunity to be more bold with you— overall way more flirtatious. Any opportunity the six-eared demon has? He’ll take it.
“Aren’t you a pretty little thing for me.”
“Let me get a good look at you.”
♡- Whether it be spontaneously cornering you while the two of you walked in an alley, wrapping his tail around you in public when no one else can see, WAY more eye contact. He isn’t going down that easy.
♡- He wouldn’t really be too scared to point the other suitor out to you too.
“What did they bring you today?”
“Next time, just call me.”
♡- I mean, he wants anyone else to know that you belong to him. You leaving is just, something he dreads. Let alone to a low class demon.
♡- Definitely would think it’s someone he’s wronged in the past trying to get back at him. I mean, who would be stupid enough to go for his prize?
♡- So catching you in the act utterly rejecting the poor guys feelings? He wanted to crack up right then and there, but stayed behind and watch the beautiful scene unfold before him.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t return your feelings. I love someone else,“
♡- That last part caught Macaque off guard. You’ve told him you’ve cared about him, but never said loved. Not like that. He was quick to take residence in your shadow once the demon took their leave, and waited for the perfect opportunity to speak up as you walked home.
“Yeesh. Who knew you were so cruel?”
Startled by the all too familiar voice, you jumped and turned behind you, only to see a pair of violet eyes and a cunning smile replace your shadow.
“Macaque?!”
“Really liked that last part, though.”

Muzan and werewolf! reader? reader is scared of what he thinks of them when muzan first sees the form, especially since when reader is in said form, they go hunting humans like it's their last day alive-
...cuddles & comfort after the fiasco happens pls.
Muzan x werewolf!F!reader
Warnings: Blood, dead bodies 💀
It will have a bit of angst and cry but the rest will be pure fluff just as you wished
You meet Muzan a couple weeks ago, your relationship started slow, probably because of your second identity, you’re a werewolf and he’s an Oni, But the truth always show up.
But you never imagined that I would be so bad
You were walking, on a cloudy night, near the woods, because you just love the nature, until the clouds flew away showing your worst enemy, the moonlight of the full moon. You felt your blood getting hotter, your fangs started to appear, your back arched and you knew that you were hungry, very very hungry, but now there’s no turning back, your eyes got darker and you can smell the people from far, but you can’t fight against your instincts.
And then blackout, you can’t control your body, the feral instinct dominated all your brain…
Where??
Where am I?
This is??… BLOOD?🩸
Indeed it was blood, all over your body, the moon above you was the only witness, well that what you thought…
Those red eyes, black hair and charming white suite, between the trees, he witnessed the whole chainsaw, in total there were 5 bodies laying on the floor covered by their own blood.
You heard footsteps near you, and you froze, getting closer second by second, you couldn’t move, and then you felt something touching you… a hand?? Those nails, you saw them before, they’re just like Muzan’s. And even smell like Muzan, that mean he knows the truth.
“So you’re a werewolf? That’s pretty impressive, I didn’t even noticed” he said, but he sounded proud? Of what? Of me??
You fell down on your knees, when you saw him in front of you, you opened your mouth but you didn’t said a word… but instead you cried… your eyes got full of water and you started to hyperventilate, you closed your eyes to stop staring at him, but he hold your cheeks, cleaning your tears away, and we you calmed down he hugged you.
“ Don’t worry sweetheart, I am here… and I’ll always be so you don’t have to worry, I’m just like you, I understand what you’re passing through, and I can help”
When your opened your eyes he was so near to your face, making eye contact, just like he was reading your soul…
“Is that a promise?” And he answered right after,“ Yes it is ”
And he smiled showing his fangs? How could I never noticed it, but he doesn’t have a tail or fur, and tonight was a full moon, so if he’s not exactly like me… then what is he?
“ I am a demon, I also eat humans to live ” Wait he just read my mind? “ you seemed curious to know what I am and I didn’t read your mind, I swear” that phrase was followed by a smile which looks honest and calm.
“Can we leave here? I don’t want to stay in these bloody clothes anymore, I want to go home, can you go with me and spend the night?” “Surely we can my dear, and I’m pleasured that you invited me”
When you both arrived at your house, he closed to curtains to protect you from the moonlight, he prepared Hōjicha, and sat on the “couch” waiting for you.
You wore a simple yukata, the tails was gone, just like the fur and the fangs, you sat near him and he hold your hands, “no more secrets, ok?” “Ok”
After a couple hours of talk and hugs, you started to feel sleepy and yawned, and when you least realized your head was on his shoulder, and then your eyes closed.
Muzan watched you sleep for a couple of hours until he took you in his arms and took you to the futon, covering you and kissing your forehead, when he opened the door to leave your bedroom you murmured his name, as if you were calling him, and he stopped and decided to lay down with you, and when he least expected you hugged him, keeping your head near to his chest, he fell asleep with you, hearing your heartbeat 💗
I hope you liked it, i tried my best, hope you appreciate it ❤️❤️

“a demon? learning our ways? That is interesting.”
“you will learn our way in time. For now, you suffer.”
⚘ ⚘ ⚘
𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍
Name: Tenawri te Tshaka Mo’at’ite
Alias: Tenawri, ‘Nawri
Gender: Female
Born: 2135
Age: 18
Mate: None
Occupation:
- Warrior/Hunter
- Occasional Healer
Family:
- Mo’at [Mother, Alive]
- Eytukan [Father, Deceased]
- Slywanin [Older Sister, Deceased{
- Neytiri [Twin Sister, Alive]
Clan:
- Metkayina Clan
- Omatikaya Clan [Fomerly]
⚘ 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐀 ⚘
rather boring but
Neytiri and Tenawri is fraternal twin. Neytiri being the oldest by like 5 minutes?
Tenawri is more carefree and laid back than her sister but not less lethal.
One of the best warrior in Omatikaya Clan and also a a very talented tracker. She can literally hunt anything if she wanted.
Tenawri is blessed with a beautiful voice and it’s a rarity for her to sing. Only a few people who got to hear her sing. Her family + Tsu’tey.
Remember when Grace say that a Na’vi would probably already watching them. That is true, it was Tenawri, watching from the trees.
When Jake got chased by the Thanator, she follows until he jumps off a cliff. Then she went home thinking that He’s dead. But no. He is very much alive.
“Eh? I thought he was dead.”
“I found him by the river, he was attacked by a pack of Nantangs.”
“And why he isn’t dead yet?”
“I helped him.”
“Why?”
“There is a sign from Eywa.”
“Oh.”
Tenawri is generally a friendly person but she still cautious and kept her distance from Jake.
“Hello, JakeSully. I am Tenawri te Tshaka Mo’at’ite. You can call me Tenawri, it is nice to meet you.”
“Hello, Tewnari. It is nice to meet you too.”
One of Tsu’tey closest friend.
“Kehe, Tsu’tey. I don’t want to hear you whine today. You make my ears itch. Ka.”
Tewnari is actually in love with Tsu’tey. And got her heartbroken twice.
The first when he tells her that he is in love with Slywanin and the second one is, when she heard the news of the Neytiri and Tsu’tey arrangements.
She keep it hidden. VERY well.
Not only Tsu’tey but Neytiri also whine about Jake to her.
“You do not know the pain that I suffered and you don’t even help me!”
“Ma Tsmuke, I’m sure sooner or later you will eventually find him interesting.”
“I rather die.”
When Neytiri can’t teach Jake on certain days, Tenawri would be the one who will take the wheel, .
They’re doing the jump and glide scene.
“Now, JakeSully. Im sure my sister have teach you this, right?”
“Yes. But-“
“Alright then let us see-“
*proceed to kick Jake of the ledge and wincing while watch him miserably drop to the ground*
“Ma Eywa!. Are… are you dead JakeSully?!”
“n..no”
She lowkey admired Jake determination on learning their ways.
Tenawri name her banshee Tirea it means spirit.
Tenawri can not weave for the life of her, even Mo’at gives up teaching her.
Tenawri likes water and sunbathing, she often enjoyed the rain or take a swim at the stream or just laying on a flat rock enjoying the sun.
She is a beast when it comes to hunting party. Always doing dangerous thing.
She is a very beautiful Na’vi, well known amongs the men by not only for her beauty but also her skill as a huntress. She still doesn’t have a mate yet because her heart only belong to one person.
When she heard that Neytiri is mated with Jake, she kinda felt responsible for it… oops.
*whispering*
“I know what i said back then but I didn’t think that you actually found him THAT interesti-“
“FTANG!”
The night before the war, Tenawri confessed to Tsu’tey
“I see you. Tsu’tey.”
When Jake was held hostage by the people and the kelutral began to fall, instead of Mo’at, Tenawri was the one who freed him.
“Fix this, JakeSully. Fix. This. Die if you have to.”
Tenawri loves her sister very much, so when Jake came back as Toruk Makto, Tenawri didn’t give a damn and just slapped him across the face.
“You made my sister cry you skxawng!”
Tenawri and Tsu’tey actually got close with each other but they didn’t have enough time.
Tenawri is very close off with her emotions only letting people see what she want them too see.
“Ma tsmuke… are you alright?”
“I already got my heart broken twice.. what’s one more?”
Tenawri take a few of Tsu’teys beads so she can have a part of him with you.
Tenawri te Tshaka Mo’at’ite 2.0

Can you do day 20 prompt 1?
Of course I can! Thank you so much for showing interest in me and my opinions, my lovely anon! You’re very sweet!!
1. What was your first anime (that you knew was anime)?
Oh my god, honestly…I don’t actually remember. I remember growing up on Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, Ronin Warriors and other things they’d show on Toonami, but I don’t think I actually knew they were anime then. It probably would have been either Bleach, Naruto, or Yu Yu Hakusho but there were some smaller little animes I watched around that time as well that I really grasped were anime because I had met friends and such who knew the terms, knew the culture, and was introducing me to it.
2. Favourite pre-2000’s anime?
Okay, right out the gate, reminding everyone – I can never pick favourites. I struggle with that so much because there are just so many fantastic shows and movies out there, so many solid choices, and I can’t say ‘this one is the best’ because there’s no universal best. Each one does something better than the others, all across the board. Of course, those familiar with my fandom list will see Yu Yu Hakusho and Ronin Warriors (and at times, Hunter x Hunter) on there. Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, Trigun, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Cowboy Bebop, Akira, Lupin III, Ghost in the Shell, Astroboy…they’re all old anime that really do stand the test of time and are all worth checking out.
3. Favourite post-2000’s anime?
Fuck, I could make whole lists. Of course, I highly recommend all the ones on my fandom list, but I also will mention really loving Death Parade, Psycho-Pass, Shadows House, and a bunch of others!
4. Favourite director?
Umm…going to show my ignorance here and admit that I know absolutely no directors for anime. I know a couple of studios to the point where I can pretty much guess if a particular anime comes from them (Studio Madhouse and Studio Bones have some pretty recognizable traits among their varying anime) but that’s about it.
5. Favourite Ghibli movie?
Again, it’s really damn hard to say favourite. I will say I am firmly of the opinion that you can sit down with almost ANY Ghibli movie, and you will be in for a visual treat, interesting characters, and a good movie. I watch Totoro and Spirited Away the most though, but that’s only because they’re the two I actually own. I think the only one I haven’t watched more than once is Howl’s Moving Castle. It was a good movie stylistically, don’t get me wrong, was really cute but I’m a huge fan of the novel for that and the two are so vastly different that I couldn’t love it as much as a lot of Ghibli fans.
6. Favourite piece of merch (that you own or want to own)?
Okay, so I own a Yamamoto and a Yamazaki mini figure and both are extremely precious to me. Not only are they characters I love, but they were gifted to me by a friend I roleplayed with on ProBoards for years with and actually flew out to Toronto to meet. So they’ve got some sentimental value to them. As mentioned in another ask, I do diamond painting and there’s some really cool anime themed diamond painting pictures I’ve bought, since they’re not normally too expensive that decorate my walls, like one of Deku from BNHA, a Demon Slayer one, and I recently found a site that lets you make pictures into customized diamond painting pictures, so hopefully I’ll have some more from my other fandoms on their way!
7. First convention & 8. Convention you’ve attended the most?
I keep saying I’m going to go to conventions and plan (even bought tickets for one), but always chicken out, actually. I have a really hard time with large crowds of people, they make me really anxious and while it’s my dream to attend a convention and have all the fun that comes with it, I haven’t actually taken that final step. I’ll just keep repeating the small steps until I get there 😊
9. Favourite animation style?
As with everything, I have a really hard time saying favourite. I fully admit to being swayed by pretty, smooth animation but the animation styles I find pretty vary really widely. As everyone can see from the fandoms I write about on here, I watch a pretty wide variety of anime, from 90’s up to current animation, and I think that has something to do with it. I am more drawn towards things with more colour to them, things bright and eye-catching, but there’s also something beautiful about the soft, almost shojo-esque and pastel aesthetics of some anime. Really, I can deal with most animation styles, and it takes a lot for me to nope out of something because of the animation style…the only examples I can think of were RWBY, Kill La Kill (also the fanservice in that is gross), and Violence Voyager (and there were a lot more reasons I couldn’t finish that film and even the thought of it still leaves me feeling really damn unsettled).
10. Last anime you finished and your thoughts on it?
I finished up the second season of The Vampire Dies in No Time recently and honestly, the amount of love I have for that show is just insane. I will probably rewatch it at least a million more times. It’s such an easy watch, it makes me laugh a lot of the times, I love the animation style and the range of quirky characters. I definitely would recommend it to others if they enjoy comedy animation!

STRANGER THINGS 4 VOL. 2 SPOILERS
-

-

OKAY so i’ll start off by saying i cry at literally nothing ever and i dehydrated myself from crying harder than i’ve cried in 10 years at eddie’s death scene. i’m a tough cookie but not when it comes to silly, goofy, lovable, rock-star nerd eddie munson. am i going through genuine grief? yes! so is my denial misplaced? most likely!! but i have a theory anyway
SO!!!! we know the duffers are not above a fake death/ misleading death (see hopper), so maybe they’re trying that again with eddie. as far as we know, dustin didn’t bring back his body- meaning we don’t have proof that eddie fully died/ remained dead. now yes, he was pretty torn up and overall doing not his best, but was it so much damage that survival would be completely impossible? i feel like maybe not. pain and shock can do some pretty weird shit to the body and passing out is not a crazy reaction to have after being mauled by monster demon bats.
aside from the “medical” reasoning, eddie’s role (although new) is not really as a side character, and to get rid of someone with as much potential as our metal DM would have to have some stronger reasoning than a “redemption” arc with a pointless sacrifice. barb, bob, and alexei were insanely lovable characters and played their parts wonderfully, but mostly their roles were about how they affected other people. barb was there to lead nancy into this upside down business, bob was there to give advice and comfort to will and be that sacrifice of “bob newby the superhero”, and alexei needed to be there to help our adult crew. eddie’s story line was more independent and had a leg to stand on even if the rest of our hawkins crew wasn’t there. he wasn’t tagging along, he became a part of the main crew (minus jonathan, will, el, and mike). eddie dying serves no purpose, except to make dustin sad, and doesn’t really fit in with the previous thing of introducing a character only to kill them at the end. so, maybe, eddie wakes up in season 5, gravely injured and alone, and is trying to find a way out and back to the gang. maybe that serves the purpose of giving us eyes on the inside or maybe it’ll give eddie the chance he deserved to clear his name (SINCE NO ONE ELSE SEEMS TO BE WILLING TO STEP UP AND SAY ANYTHING FOR THE PERSON WHO LITERALLY THREW HIMSELF INTO A HOARD OF DEMOBATS YO SAVE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE THAT HATE HIM) or maybe it’s so he can walk the stage and get the diploma he rightfully deserves. at this point i don’t care what the reason is i’ll be honest. also the writing has been quite strategic in the past, so i feel like maybe they wouldn’t have eddie’s last lines be “this is my year” when it clearly is not. i guess we’ll see.
joseph quinn did also make that comment about wanting to do scenes with charlie in s5. now, granted, that may have been just to fuck with all of us, but i’ll take hope where i can get it.
my theory has no real evidence or proof of any kind to support it, but denial is the first stage of grief and this is how i’m choosing to view it until someone explicitly tells me no. even then, i’ll probably ignore them and keep living in blissful ignorance until 2024 when s5 comes out and throws my heart into a wood-chipper. the duffers aren’t perfect writers by any stretch, but i am choosing to have a little faith that their choices are more calculated than this. thanks for listening to my delusions
edit: joseph quinn just did an interview where he talked about how he would’ve liked to come back for another season, but that he was satisfied with the end of eddie’s character arc. sounds like this death was a real one folks (unless this is all some super extra silly prank)!!! i’m gonna leave this theory up here though in case some crazy, wacky miracle occurs and we are all allowed to have hope again.
link to article:
edit/ update pt.2: NEW interview (yes somehow already) reveals that joe really may not know how the future of eddie will play out. he says that he’s been talking with joe keery about ways eddie could make an appearance! so hope is not lost! hopefully the duffer brothers realize that they just made the literal largest mistake ever getting rid of quinn as an actor and eddie as a character and they’ll just do an uno reverse moment <3 essentially: FUCK THIS SHOW FOR PLAYING HOT POTATO WITH MY FEELINGS

10 Anti LO Asks
(Note: Most of these asks are before episode 206 (Season 2 finale) became general so some may be dated.)
1. I wish I could re-write this damn comic so the underlying threat wouldn't look and feel so out of place and rushed. One thing I think would help is the introduction of eris being a little earlier. And to have her interact in some way with *every* character. Maybe keep the symbolism with the feathers (every time a character does that stupid red eye thing maybe a feather can be seen? I dunno). And hell, why not have her working with Kronos? What's more chaotic than bringing back an old god king? I just...ugh.
2. Am I supposed to be on Hades’s side right now? Because Zeus seems awfully sympathetic right now. Zeus was just given a backstory of watching his mother die, and he seems reasonable about Persephone’s age and the possibility of a waning interest in Hades in the future. Hades seems to get rid of all reasoning towards his brother, despite Zeus desperately trying his best with what he has. Right now Hades seems like an obsessive man in power that seems to treat Persephone like an object. At least Zeus seems to try to see in Persephone’s perspective for her future. Hades is worsening relations between the realms over Persephone who was still trying to understand her place in the world. Hades just seems like an obsessive stalker and Zeus might be one of my new favorites in the story.
3. Hades gouged a guy's eye for taking pictures of Persephone without permission but literally physically held a visibly uncomfortable Minthe in front of cameras like a hunting trophy. Messed up, dude.
4. If RS wanted to make Morpheus a trans woman or non-binary why is the character a "Goddess" and with she/her pronouns while retaining the name "Morpheus" which is a clearly male name and declares the opposite of the above? To me it seems less like gender non-conformity, and more like RS doesn't know how gendered names work ooor she knows but keeps the male name for the "greek god brand" and to keep the character recognizable. I just can't feel she did it in good faith.
5. Omg I just finished reading the season finale and it was so bad. Persephone didn’t even have to try to defeat Kronos at all like at least one more episode would’ve been better but nope. Ngl I only bought fast passes for the end of this chapter bc I thought it was the last one but apparently there’s gonna be a third season? So ig they’re just gonna figure out how to deal with Apollo’s story and Demeters feelings towards Persephone and Hades? That’s all I can think of that they would have to fill a whole season of.
6. Apologies for the long text ^-^
To be completely honest, I never liked retellings of Persephone's Abduction where she fell in love with Hades in general. They always seem like shitty fanfiction and are rarely "feminist and empowering". In my opinion it would be more feminist to tell the myth as it is: Persephone is kidnapped against her will and forced to stay. Because most of these retellings tend to demonize Demeter (for being a good and caring mother in the myth?) and in doing this makes it hipocritical since this myth's intention was not only to explain seasons, but to explore the bond between a mother and her daughter, having Demeter go against Zeus and Hades to get Persephone back.
Again Persephone's myth should just be told like it is, because it makes it more feminist to have Persephone's story told truthfully instead of romanticizing her kidnapping amd making Hades the good guy in it.
7. I never really pegged Persephone as a Mary Sue/creator's pet until she defeated Kronos so easily and smugly. And singlehandedly when even Zeus couldn't do anything. As an antagonist who should be way more powerful and has been built up over multiple seasons, the battle was a letdown
8. Hmm, about the fertility power thing, it’s disgusting, mostly because Rachel is ignoring the struggle it represented for the ancient Greeks when it came to giving birth and the ricks of dying at child brith. Heck, Hera is a fertility goddess in the sense she can bless you in order to have babies, as long as you were part of her cult, similar to Aphrodite, fertility wasn’t a super special Awesome power it was a RESPONSIBILITY. One the plenty women fear for since dying for child birth was a big possibility for them, there is even a myth were Ares was hearth broken at the death on one of his lovers and unfortunately was the one how let his child drink from her death body’s breast in tears. Yes, fertility was important in Ancient Greece as it allow families to expand, however it was also a risk for plenty and not all woman and men were gifted with it. Even Zeus a male fertility deity, was in charge of providing of his family as his duty as the patriarch. In Ancient Greece, power came with responsibility, power wasn’t just a gift that made you more special out of nowhere. Instead Rachel represents power as Hedoism, that others can exploit. And making fertility a part of that kind of explotation is just…just wrong.
9. Sounds like Smythe portrayed Demeter properly by accident.
10. do you have any posts which review the actual relationship and myth of hades and persephone? I know there used to be one but it’s no longer available
From OP: Unfortunately, I have too many posts and can’t find the one you’re referring to, If anyone can link the post you think they may be asking for or others, feel free to do so.

Likelyhood of me Hanging out with Disgaea Characters if they were Real:
((1. Laharl: Unlikely.
He’s one of those characters that I feel like is more entertaining to watch on screen but definitely not someone I’d be willing to chill out with.
2. Etna: No.
Toxic bitch that likes starting shit. Pass.
3. Flonne: Hell yeah!
With her around, I’d never have to worry about catching up with cartoons and anime, because you know damn well we’re binge watching some stuff together. Probably start things off with My Hero Academia or One Punch Man because she loves her superhero shows.
4. Sicily: Probably not
Look, she’s cute and nice and all, but she’s either going to stuff my face until it bursts or get me to help her out with chores. Not exactly someone I’d spend a whole day with.
5. Xenolith: Maybe
We could probably read like a book or something. I don’t know.
6. Vyers: Yes
Guess who’s finally going to become fluent in French?!
7. Lamington: Maybe
Same reason as Xenolith except I feel like being around him might give me a bit more peace of mind.
8. Captain Gordon: Yes.
Pizza. Tea. In outerspace. Need I say more? Why does part of me feel like I just talked about a British Markiplier’s wet dream?
9. Jennifer: Oh yeah...
I mean if I play my cards right, we’d do a lot more than just “hanging out”, know what I’m saying? ;)
10. Thursday: Hell yeah!
He may be an ass, but he’s a loyal companion. Definitely someone I’d have a beer with...if either of us drink.
11. Barbara: Maybe
See here’s the thing, she’s a sub, but she’s an extreme sub. The whole time she’s gonna demand that I give her specific orders to do stuff and the moment I run out of ideas, she’ll get bored and take off, which I imagine will happen in around a few hours tops. She’s like the ultimate test of someone’s dom levels, and I know I’m about to fail before the paper gets passed back to me.
12. Laharl’s Mother & Kurtis: Probably not.
They’re cool and all, but what would we even do together, dood?
13. Adell: Maybe
He’s my favorite character and all, but chances are, he’s going to try to get me to stop acting lazy and whatnot, which is a kind gesture honestly, but I don’t think I’ll be able to fully commit.
14. Rozalin: Probably not.
Unless if we’re watching Power Rangers, I don’t think this friendship is going to work out.
15. Tink: No.
Don’t think I’ll be able to have ANY female friends with this guy around. And the moment he tries to flirt with my mom, it’s on sight.
16. Yukimaru: Yes.
She’s friendly, she’s easy to talk to, and she can act fast in case of an emergency. She’s in.
17. Fubuki: Maybe.
Tone it down with the “Dying during a mission” bit and then we’ll talk.
18. Axel: No
Him constantly boasting about himself is going to get on my nerves at some point.
19. Mao: Hell no!
I’m not trying to become someone’s guinea pig for experiments!
20. Raspberyl: Probably not
Nor am I trying to die by losing too much blood!
21. Almaz: Yes
Like with Flonne, we’re probably going to spend the whole day geeking out with each other, especially if it’s like Final Fantasy or Zelda related.
22. Sapphire: Maybe
She’s cool and all, but I don’t want to risk her taking off with ALL of my niece’s plushies!
23. Kyoko: Yes.
She’s nice and will probably make me some cool new clothes (which will finally let me join the cosplay community), though I don’t think I would actually take up sewing myself.
24: Asuka: Hell yeah!
Now folding origami on the other hand...
25. Mr. Champloo: Probably not
Demon Chef Ramsey. There’s no way I’d be able to keep up with this guy.
26. Salvatore: Hell no!
Now if you want an example of an extreme dom, look no further than this bitch. Only way she’ll take orders from me is if I somehow become her “superior officer”. I used to know a guy on this site who would totally simp for her and I can’t help but wonder how long it last given her extreme demands.
27. Master Bigstar: Yes.
I’m hoping this guy would turn me into a decent actor, honestly.
28. Valvatorez: Probably not
Unlike Adell, there is no argument here. The moment we start hanging out, I can kiss my lazy lifestyle goodbye. I’m not worried about eating nothing but sardines for the rest of my life, because even he knows it’s a bad idea due to all the purines they carry, but he is going to put me on a more healthy diet and whatnot.
29. Fenrich: Hell no!
The guy hates humans. And I’m a human. So this isn’t going to work out.
30. Fuka: No.
She’s pushy as hell and I’m not trying to get dragged into shit that would put me on the World’s Most Wanted list.
31: Desco: No.
She’s nicer than Fuka, but there’s still the risk of me being put on that list.
32: Emizel: Probably not
Also not that fan of humanity, which is understandable after what happened with his dad. Doesn’t change the fact that us being friends aren’t that likely.
33: Artina: Maybe.
If it’s nurse Artina, then we have no issues. Angel Artina though...she’s okay, but I’m gonna need to keep a close eye on my wallet and make sure she doesn’t get a reason for me to owe her anything.
34. Killia: Yes.
No matter what he cooks, chances are it’s going to be out of this world. Hopefully it’s safe for human consumption though. Also, we can meditate together.
35. Seraphina: Probably not
I get it, she’s wealthy, she’s pretty, and not that bad of a person when you get to know her, but that doesn’t change the fact that since I’m a single male who’s attracted to women, I’m at risk to being mind controlled by her!
36. Red Magnus: Hell no!
This dude always looking for smoke. Yeah, he’s gotten better, but the moment he decides he wants to test my might, that’s death for me.
37. Usalia: Hell yeah!
Curry time! Curry time!^^
38. Zeroken: Maybe
I can already picture myself asking whether or not if I’m talking to the real guy or one of his shadow clones while he’s off doing...whatever.
39. Zed: Probably not
Like with Laharl’s mother and Kurtis, what the hell would we even do together?
40. Bieko: Probably not
She’s cute and all, but I just know Zed’s going to be looming around the corner watching us the whole time creeping me out. Even if we’re watching Sesame Street or Dragontales together, Zed’s that overprotective big brother.
41. Misedor: Hell yeah!
Money money money money money money
42. Melodia: Yes.
Like with Master Bigstar, I feel like she would help sharpen my theatre skills, especially when it comes to vocals.
43. Piyori: Yes
I get to become a Power Ranger huh? I’m going to make so many people so damn jealous. Looking at you, Angry Joe
44. Majolene: Maybe
She’s basically Shantae if Shantae was a stubborn old hag.
45. Ivar: Maybe
A lovable, dorky overlord who actually cherishes his friends and underlings.))

Edge of the Sky (5)
In Which a Dwemer Appears
Ao3
Hiccup and Stoick didn’t return right to Whiterun. Instead, they detoured to Helgen…or what remained of Helgen.
They could see it as they crested the mountain pass. A giant crater that sundered the earth. Some bits of stone walls and farm land were the only indication that there had been a town there at all.
The very sight filled Hiccup with dread.
As they drew closer, Imperial Soldiers and Whiterun Guards alike were blocking the road.
“Hail and well met, My Lord,” a guard called. “We can’t guarantee your safety here. The dragon seems to have disappeared for now, but the ground around the hole keeps collapsing.”
“Thank you, soldier. Are the guards that witnessed the event nearby?”
“No, My Lord. The Captain has given them leave for two weeks. It seems the event was quite horrific. There was one other witness though. Name’s Ingrad Sorenson. He’s over there.”
Both looked to the field where the guard was pointing. A lone farmer tended his crops, like it was any other day.
“Though, if you plan on talking to him, I’m not sure how much information he’ll give you. He’s been rather quiet.”
“Thank you, as you were.”
Hiccup followed his father as he left the cart to go question the man. He glanced around, only seeing the vast crop fields, a tent, a fire pit, and a cow.
“Hail! A word Mr. Sorenson?” Stoick called out to the farmer.
He didn’t respond.
“Must be hard of hearing,” Stoick said, good-naturedly.
When they were much closer, he tried again. “How are the crops, man?”
“They grow,” the farmer responded, his voice heavy with sorrow. “This ground has life. As long as it does, I too, will live.”
Stoick stopped his approach, only a few feet away, giving the man his space. “This is your field, then?”
“Yes. But I tend the Sanderson’s and the Alderson’s as well. Can’t let their hard work be in vain. They live on in their cabbage and pumpkins.”
Hiccup shared a worried look with his father.
“The cow? That’s Hjogar’s. He was so proud of her. Best milking cow in Helgen, he said. Even in his old age, he still wouldn’t sell her to anyone. Even though he could barely milk her…” At that, he started sobbing, and dropped his rake.
Stoick approached carefully, resting a hand on his shoulder. “Ingrad? Do you know who I am?”
“I don’t know anyone anymore. Everyone I know and love—“ he sniffled. “The Forsworn were spotted taking crops from the western fields. I told them—my family, my wife, my sons, that it was dangerous for them to help me with the farming. I begged them to stay in Helgen, where it was safe…” at that, he dissolved into more sobbing. Horrible, gut-wrenching sobs.
“What did it look like?” Hiccup asked.
“Hiccup—“ Stoick chastised.
“White,” said Ingrad. “A white demon! It’s head—it was all teeth! Horrible long teeth, twice the size of a man! And it’s eyes! Blood red—no pupil, like it was blinded by its hunger for blood! It was so long, so thin, like it hadn’t eaten in centuries! A long tail…I’ll never get that sound out of my head! When it dove back in, the tail cracked like a whip! It was so loud, it sounded like thunder!” He trembled. “It happened so fast. The ground rumbled, and then it emerged, eating half of the town in one bite. It roared…I bet they heard it in Riften. It made my eyes bleed! The sound itself made everyone stand still and scream! Then it came back down…and I was alone.”
“The Bannered Mare has a few rooms available. Come with us to Whiterun. We’ll get you set up for a few weeks, and help you start a new life.”
Ingrad shook his head. “I can’t leave. They need me.”
“Who?”
Ingrad gestured to the crops. “They’re my family now. My wife and son planted them. They tended, weeded, and watered them. No, I’m staying until harvest. And then, if Sovngarde doesn’t claim me, I might come to Whiterun.”
Hiccup had a horrible feeling that he’d never see this man in Whiterun.
“Are you sure? It’s not safe out here in that tent. What about bears? Or saber cats?”
“I have a sword, and I know how to use it.”
Stoick looked like he wanted to argue, but ultimately sighed and became resigned. “Alright. Far be it from me to try to change the mind of a stubborn Nord. But, you must promise me something, Ingrad.”
“Yes?”
“You see any inclination of that Dragon again, you send word to the Jarl of Whiterun. Fair?”
The man shut his eyes tight, but nodded in the end. “Yes, fair.”
“Good. We’ll leave you to do your gardening. I’m hoping for a bountiful harvest.” He patted his son on the back. “Come along, Hiccup.”
Hiccup hurried after his father as he made purposeful strides to the main road. He stopped a guard. “You keep an eye on that farmer. Make sure he doesn’t off himself.”
“Sir!”
As they returned to the cart, Hiccup asked, “aren’t we going to get a closer look?”
“Not today. We’ll have to come back later, when the ground has settled.”
Hiccup wanted to protest, but opted not to. Hopefully the information from the farmer would be enough for Toothless. If not, he’d sneak back at a later date.
They rode back to Whiterun, the guards announcing their arrival once they were at the gates.
Inside, all manner of townsfolk crowded around them, seeking answers and demanding justice.
“What are we going to do if the dragon comes for us?”
“Is anyone going to hunt down the beast?”
“Has the Ancient Nord prophecy come true?”
“Is this the work of Drago?”
“Are we next?”
“Enough!” Stoick bellowed to the crowd. “I know you’re afraid. Who wouldn’t be? But at this time, I do not have the answers you seek. Panicking will serve no purpose. We’re Nords! Hardy folk that fear no beast, and that includes dragons!”
Some of the crowd took to Stoick’s words quickly, and became encouraged. Others were a bit more rational.
“I will send word to the other Jarls and to the academics at the College of Winterhold. I will not sit idle. We will find out why this dragon has returned, and what it means. For now, it is wise to lend a hand to your fellow man. If any survivors of Helgen arrive here, give them food and lodging. And if anyone learns of anything, please come see me at Dragonsreach.” He nodded and pressed through the crowd toward his keep.
Jarl Stoick’s word was final, but many people lingered, nervous and uncertain.
Hiccup saw this plainly. His destiny was already in motion. These people, friends and family, were being affected. Now, not in the distant future, now. Forever, until the dragon was slain, they’d be afraid for their lives.
But a dragon the size of Dragonsreach wasn’t going to fall with a well placed fus ro da. He’d have to develop a plan.
He needed a nap. Mostly to consult with Toothless, but also because traveling was exhausting.
“Welcome back, Lad!” Gobber greeted heartily.
“Hi Gobber.”
“Enjoy your vacation?”
“As much as one can enjoy four days of bumpy cart travel.”
“Did you meet the High King? What’s he like?”
“Oh, we had dinner with him. He seems nice. He laughed at a dirty joke I made, so I guess the power hasn’t gone to his head yet. His wife seems sweet as well. I spent a lot of time with his daughter, Marinette.”
“Daughter eh? Is she cute?”
“She’s too young for me. Poor kid was so overwhelmed. And then Helgen…” he shook his head. “She needed a friend, so I was there for her. She’s actually quite smart for her age. A good asset for a Princess.”
“Oh right, if she’s not like Adrianne, forget it.”
“You should say that a little louder, Gobber. I don’t think the whole town heard you.”
“Aw lad, don’t be ashamed of having a crush on an older woman!”
“I’m not ashamed. Everyone has a crush on Adrianne…including her husband. You know, Ulfberth War-Bear? The huge Nord that carries a warhammer on his back?”
Gobber laughed. “Oh, he’s just a big teddy-bear. He won’t make fun of you.”
“I’m not worried about him making fun of me! I’m worried about him ripping out my spine and using it as a toothpick.”
Gobber just kept on laughing. “That’s why it’s so nice to keep you around, lad. You’re always good for a laugh.”
“Look Gobber, I see what you’re doing, and I appreciate it, but I don’t need a cheer up. I need to focus on what happened to Helgen.”
Gobber became much more solemn at that. “Hiccup, there’s not much you can do for Helgen, you know? That dragon will do what it does.” He chuckled, “actually, if ever there was a time for a Dragonborn to return, this would be it. Let him handle it!”
I’m trying to! Hiccup internally screamed.
As he and his father returned to Dragonsreach, the Steward, Spitelout, hurried to greet them. “My Lord, I’m so happy you’ve returned—“
“Yes, I’ve heard all about Helgen, and I’m eager to hear if Gothi has any information.”
“She’s been hard at work, of course. But there’s a visitor—“
“Excellent. Where from? The college?”
“A visitor for the Young Master,” he looked at Hiccup.
Hiccup blinked in surprise. “Who? Me?”
“A visitor for Hiccup?” Stoick asked, bewildered.
“Yes. He came a few days ago, not long after you left for Solitude. He said he had to talk to, ‘the small freckled boy with the crown.’ I told him you were gone and would be gone for a while, and he said he would just wait.”
“Did you have any guards attempt to escort him to the Bannered Mare to wait there?” Stoick probed.
“Yes! They tried to persuade him to leave and come back later, but he declined. When they attempted to physically remove him, they couldn’t lift him. Apparently, he’s a lot heavier than he looks.”
“Well, if he’s that insistent, we’ll give him an audience. And then he’d better go. I have more important things to worry about. Where is he?”
“He’s in the War Room, looking at the map, last I saw.”
Stoick patted Hiccup again, steering him towards the stairs. “Come on, son.”
Gobber, who had followed Hiccup into Dragonsreach, also silently followed, curious.
A staircase leading to the upper floor of the Grand Hall was behind the Jarl’s throne. Up here, a door to the royal family’s quarters was accessed, as well as the door to the Great Porch.
This room had large bookshelves that held the keep’s library, as well as a large oak table for studying. A large map of Skyrim was spread across the surface, and a figure stood, studying it.
“The Jarl Stoick, and his Son Hiccup,” Spitelout introduced.
The man, shorter than most, turned to greet them. His skin was a muted, pale blue, with golden tattoos on his cheeks. He wore a nearly full set of armor made out of a brass material, which was only missing the helmet. It was intricately articulated and had expertly measured rivets across the breast plate. Over the armor, he wore a white and red robe.
Hiccup was used to beards being braided, as most Nords tended to do so, but this man’s beard was made up of very small braids, capped with gold. One slightly thicker and much longer braid hung from his chin.
The man had a wide, smug smile full of perfectly square teeth, and eyes that were so narrow they were almost closed as he smiled.
“Dwarven armor,” Gobber commented, impressed. “And in mint condition too. You don’t find ‘em so nice these days.”
After a few seconds of awkward eye contact, Hiccup blurted, “uh, hello?”
“I must thank you for your hospitality, Jarl Stoick.” The man returned.
It seemed that Stoick wasn’t in the mood for diplomacy, and instead asked, “who are you, and what business do you have with my son?”
The man just continued to smile, like this whole interaction highly amused him. “I have come to discuss the crown he wears. It is a creation of my people.”
Understanding dawned on Hiccup. After all, Toothless had told him this would happen. He would get visited by one of the Psijic monks. That had to be who this man was. He just hoped he wouldn’t reveal the truth to his father. Stoick would not take being lied to well. Perhaps Hiccup could just play dumb?
“Your people? Who are your people? Surely you aren’t trying to convince me that you’re a Dunmer.”
“Say…” Gobber spoke up, his eyes wide with delight. “You’re a Dwarf!”
Stoick gave him an incredulous look. “A dwarf? Are you daft?! The dwarves have been extinct for thousands of years.”
“Almost extinct,” the mysterious man chuckled. “All but a handful.”
Stoick and Spitelout stared in shock and awe.
Hiccup just nodded in interest, but it was quickly becoming difficult to surprise him anymore.
When it looked like mostly everyone was star-struck, the man continued. “In the First Era, my colleagues and I decided to study the arcane in a sequestered area. The other Dwemer weren’t particularly religious or fond of the gods, you see.”
“What does this have to do with my son’s crown?” Stoick asked, impatient.
The dwarf only laughed. “Oh good, you’ve moved past the revelation of my existence. Well—“
“I haven’t!” Gobber protested. “What happened to the other dwarves? Please, this mystery has been eating me alive my whole life! There’s not a man or mer on Tamriel that hasn’t been dying to know! You’ve got to tell!”
The dwarf merely shrugged. “I have no idea. We keep an eye on the world from where we are, but the deep underground cities of the Dwemer were out of sight from us. By the time we realized they had disappeared, a hundred years had passed.”
“So…you didn’t really get along with your family, did you?” Hiccup asked, mostly as a joke.
Stoick gave him a tiny thump on the head.
“Yes, we’ve all been curious about the Dwarves. But please, tell us about this cursed crown!”
The dwarf grinned and looked at Hiccup, seemingly staring into his very soul. “What is a curse to some, is a blessing to others. The crown sleeps, but can be awakened.”
“Can you remove it?”
“Not without killing the boy, no.”
Stoick frowned. “I heard that the Dwarves were sadistic, what with what they did to the Snow Elves, but to curse an item and not have a way to remove it?”
The dwarf didn’t seem bothered by Stoick’s jab, and just tilted his head ever so slightly. “We prefer the term ‘enchanted’ over ‘cursed’.”
Stoick scoffed.
“What has your interaction with the crown been so far, Young Master?”
“It um…it won’t come off.”
“That would seem like a curse, of course. But there is much more to it, if we may speak alone?”
Stoick’s nostrils flared. “You must be out of your mind if you think I’ll leave you alone with my son after what you’ve done!”
“Dad dad dad,” Hiccup grabbed his arm. “It’s cool. He came all this way to talk to me about this. If I’m going to be stuck with it the rest of my life, I should know all I can about it.”
Stoick hated that Hiccup had such a good point. “Fine. Use my office. But the guards will be outside, and if there’s any trouble—“
“There won’t be, your lordship,” the dwarf assured with a smile. “The Young Master is destined for greatness. I wouldn’t dream of ruining that.”
Stoick could only look in confusion as Hiccup led the dwarf to the private quarters and to Stoick’s office.
“I’m sorry about that. He’s…pretty protective of me.”
“We could all be so lucky. My father disappeared some 2000 years ago!” He laughed. “I am Master Wang Fu.”
“Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, son of Jarl Stoick of Whiterun. But Hiccup is fine.”
“You know, you’re not an easy man to find.”
Hiccup winced as he took a seat in a chair in front of his father’s desk. “I’m not usually this mobile. I’m sorry.”
Master Fu continued to study the room, perusing the shelves and occasionally picking up an item like an ornamental dagger or book. “When we sensed the awakening of the Miraculous, we scried on your location and saw you were in a burial mound. I figured by the time I made it to Skyrim, you’d be home. When I crossed over from Cyrodiil, I located you here in Whiterun. But by the time I actually got here, you were in Morthal!”
“Yeah…how-how familiar are you with current events?”
“If you are asking if I heard about the High King, I did. We have ways of listening in on the events happening in the material world. But that, of course, is not why I’m here.”
“The crown?”
“I assume you actually are aware of its true nature?”
“I named him Toothless. I didn’t mean to! He told me to name him and I just commented that he didn’t have any teeth, and he took it literally and wouldn’t let me change it!” He slapped his hand to his forehead, knocking the crown. “I can’t get over it. Akatosh! The dragon god! I named him Toothless!”
Master Fu just started laughing, a genuine belly laugh. “I came to judge what kind of character you were, but I think I have a good idea now. The dragon god is very kind, loving, and protective of mankind. He is mighty and fiersome, but the name you have chosen for him is quite fitting, I think.”
Hiccup shook his head and slouched in his seat. “And here, I was concerned about one day inheriting my father’s throne. But now…”
“I assume you are Dragonborn, as well?”
“I have shouted already, so I guess so.”
“It is as the prophecy said then.”
“Wait,” Hiccup shot forward. “Prophecy? There’s a prophecy now?! Since when?! Toothless never mentioned a prophecy!”
Master Fu laughed again. “Since the time of Tiber Septim. After our people disappeared. It goes as such:
‘When misrule takes its place at the eight corners of the world,
When the Brass Tower walks and Time is reshaped,
When the thrice-blessed fail and the Red Tower trembles,
When the Dragonborn Ruler loses his throne, and the White Tower falls,
When the Snow Tower lies sundered, kingless, bleeding,
The World-Eater wakes, and the Wheel turns upon the Last Dragonborn.’”
Hiccup frowned. “I don’t get it.”
Master Fu gave an admonishing look. “Not a student of history?”
Hiccup groaned. “There’s a lot to it.”
“Then I suggest you review your books. Each line equates with a significant historical catastrophe. Though, I will save you time and say that they all happened in the Third Era. All but the last line.”
“Something about a Snow Tower?”
“‘When the Snow Tower lies sundered, kingless, bleeding, The World-Eater wakes, and the Wheel turns upon the Last Dragonborn.’”
“The Snow Tower…The Snow Tower…oh gods. It’s not talking about the Throat of the World, is it?” Hiccup gestured towards the Eastern window, where the very mountain he was talking about could be seen.
Master Fu nodded.
“But they put a king on the throne! Surely it can’t be…”
“Yes, they elected a new High King. But Skyrim is still divided and on the brink of a civil war. Do you see it now, Dragonborn?”
Hiccup slouched in his chair, dread coiling in his stomach. “What’s The World-Eater? What does that represent?”
“That question is more well suited for your soulmate,” Master Fu smiled.
“Why me? Why am I this Dragonborn person?”
“I believe the Greybeards may have an answer for that.”
Hiccup groaned and rested his head in his hands.
“What is the matter?”
“You’re not answering my questions! I finally have someone that knows stuff and you won’t explain anything!”
“My apologies. I will answer your next question honestly.”
“How do I kill the dragon that attacked Helgen?”
“I don’t have the slightest clue.”
Hiccup threw his hands up in frustration.
“I said I would be honest. I didn’t say it would be helpful.”
Angry and frustrated, Hiccup just snapped. “Look, why did you come here? Just to ‘see what kind of person I am’? What is a Psijic Monk anyway? Toothless said you were some sort of guardian or something.”
“Correct on all accounts,” Master Fu grinned. “I am here to judge your character.”
“Why?”
“Well, if you created a powerful artifact, wouldn’t you want to know how it was being used?”
Hiccup considered all the swords and knives he had made while working for Gobber. How many were used for defense? And how many fell into the wrong hands?
“I guess that makes sense. So…your people made these?”
“As I told your father earlier, my colleagues and I broke away from the other Dwemer to work in seclusion. Whereas our kin were interested in science and tonal energies, we were interested in the arcane and the gods. Everyone wanted the ability to soul trap a god, for the sheer power that those soul gems would contain. Our attempts to do so resulted in the Miraculous. Not a full soul trap, but some would argue this was a better outcome.”
“That’s pretty…horrific, honestly.”
“I know. And we’d soon learn that the Miraculous themselves cared little about what our intentions were, and disappeared on their own. We have no control over them, but we can tell when someone has activated one. We’ve taken to reaching out to the new wielder, just to see what they are like.”
“So you're not really a guardian at all, huh?”
Master Fu laughed, though it lacked mirth. “No, I suppose not. Though that was the intention. Now we just observe how they affect the world.”
“…and step in when needed, right?”
Master Fu shook his head. “We have taken an oath not to interfere with the events that unfold.”
Hiccup frowned. “Why not?”
“Fear, mostly. We stay on our island to stay removed from consequences. Every action that you take has consequences. Even talking to you about all of this is a risk. But we have elected to let actions play out as they do. Besides, is it fair if we can escape before our consequences catch up to us?”
“I guess that’s fair. How many Miraculous are there, anyway?”
“24 in total.”
“I thought for sure you were going to say 8, one for each of the Divines, minus Talos.”
“One for each of the Divines, yes, and one for each of the 15 Daedric princes.”
“…even the really bad ones?”
“What do you mean?”
“For instance, Mehrunes Dagon, the prince of Destruction, Disaster, and Violent Upheaval. Someone can connect to that power?”
“Ah, the Black Cat. A misunderstood deity. Most would agree, he is evil. But like a forest fire purging the rotting undergrowth, sometimes destruction is necessary.”
“Yeah, sure, but wasn’t he the one that opened all the hell-mouths during the Oblivion Crisis and tried to take over the world?”
“I said ‘sometimes’.”
“Okay fine, but what about Molag Bal? The Corruptor? The Rapist? He’s responsible for only grief in this world, like vampires and other undead.”
“They all have a Miraculous, Hiccup. While a connection between souls can give a mortal power, it also weakens the deity. There is balance.”
Hiccup took out his little notebook that he often carried with him, and began to take down notes from this conversation. “Every Miraculous has a creature associated with it? I had never heard of Mehrunes Dagon referred to as a cat. I thought he was a four armed red devil.”
“The Ancient Nords, those that taught us about the gods in the first place, assigned a creature to each one. The names differ between cultures. Toothless, for example, is the Dragon, named by the Nords. The Imperials call him Akatosh while the Elves call him Auri-El. While the names change depending on who you are talking to, we found it easier to stick with their Ancient Nord name.”
Hiccup wrote down the Eight Divines, as he knew them well. “Oh, 8 Divines, plus 15 Daedric Princes, that only makes 23 Miraculous, right?”
“There is one more. The dead god, the creator, has a Miraculous. She is the Ladybug.”
“Dead god? I didn’t know there was such a thing. But if she’s dead…doesn’t that make her Miraculous not work?”
Master Fu grinned. “That is a good line of thinking, Dragonborn. However, since we tied her to a Miraculous, that is the only thing that has kept her from disappearing. Although, it is not any less powerful.”
“Good to know…” Hiccup noted this down as well. “Do you know how many Miraculous are active right now?”
“Besides yours, there are two.”
Hiccup looked surprised. “Really? Wait, I bet Drago has one!”
“No. The Jarl of Windhelm does not possess a Miraculous.”
Hiccup frowned. “Well, then who?”
“The Ladybug activated while I was waiting for you. I have yet to meet the wielder.”
“Oh wow, busy week for you, huh?”
Master Fu chuckled. “It’s an exciting time. But we knew it would be when the Prophecy came true.”
“Does the Ladybug grant any special abilities? Toothless–Ah, Akatosh, has been giving me training in my Thu’um.”
“The Ladybug grants great magical proficiency. You have seen that most wizards are unable to cast spells without a staff or other spell focus.”
“I hadn’t really thought about it, but sure.”
“The earrings substitute as this focus, and allow for very potent spellcasting. Have you heard of Potema?”
Hiccup shivered, “Yeah, she’s a legend. The Queen of Solitude that won a war with an army of undead.”
“She was The Ladybug’s last wielder.”
Hiccup sat stunned, not sure how to respond to that. “Oh.”
“I have high hopes for this new wielder, though. A young lady, you may run into her in the future.”
“What’s her name?”
“As I said, I haven’t met her yet.”
“Oh right,” he cringed. “You said there was another one active?”
Master Fu looked much more grave at that. “Yes, The Butterfly.”
“I don’t recognize it, so I’m assuming it’s a Daedric Prince?” He winced.
“That is correct. The Butterfly is also known as Molag Bal, the one of the princes you were concerned with earlier.”
Hiccup swore and rested his head in his hands. “And the wielder?”
“An Altmer woman. Wholly unpleasant. She didn’t give me her name. Though, she has been wearing it for a few decades. Who knows what she’s up to.”
Hiccup noted down that he needed to read up more on Molag Bal, and be prepared for what could come of that.
But first, the white dragon from Helgen.
“Do you have any more questions for me? I expect that once I depart from here, we will never meet again.”
“No, don’t say that! I can’t think of them right now, but I know I will as soon as you leave!”
“Fear not, Dragonborn. There is little information that I have that Aka–Toothless and the Graybeards do not also have. It is better that way. Giving you the history of the world in one day, you’re likely to forget most of it.”
“Which is why I started taking notes,” he raised his notebook.
“And you should continue to do so.” Master Fu gave him a proud smile, and rested a hand on his shoulder. “While I can not tell you what to do, I know what I would do if I were in your shoes.”
“Please, any guidance…”
“Go consult the Graybeards. They will train you with the Thu’um. Once you begin to establish yourself as Dragonborn, the Blades are likely to find you. They have experience with killing dragons.”
“Blades? Who are they?”
Master Fu sighed. “This disappoints me, but doesn’t surprise me. The Blades used to be the special guard to the Emperor. Since their downfall, those that survive have been waiting to aid the Last Dragonborn in the fight against the World-Eater. They consider this to be their final duty.”
“What happened to them?”
“In short, the Aldmeri Dominion, the Thalmor. Any book on the Great War will tell you the story.”
“Okay, go to The Graybeards and learn more Shouts, then keep an eye out for the Blades. Anything else?” He wrote down a plan of attack.
“I will let the Ladybug Miraculous wielder know to look for you. You should ally yourself with any wielder you can find, as they are stronger together.”
“I’m not befriending the Molag Bal wielder,” Hiccup said adamantly.
“Nor would I think she would receive you.”
“Well…thank you, for all of this. I’m sorry I was short with you earlier. I just…”
“You are scared.”
Hiccup hung his head, as he didn’t want to admit it. It was not like a proud Nord to be afraid of destiny. But it was hard not to fear what he had been told.
“You can be afraid, but don’t let your fear stop you from action. You will receive more guidance on your journey. You are not alone.” He tapped the gem on the front of the crown. “You will never be alone.”
Hiccup took solace in that, at least. While Toothless wasn’t on this plane of existence, he was still with him.
“Now, as pleasant as this has been, I must go and meet with the new wielder.”
“Right…I’ll show you out…”
Hiccup and Master Fu returned to the upper landing where Stoick, Spitelout, and Gobber were still standing.
“Gentlemen, Your Lordship,” Master Fu nodded to each of the men.
Stoick rushed to his son. “What happened? Are you okay? Did he use mind magic on you?!”
“What? No, no, dad, I’m fine. I told you it would be fine.”
Stoick looked ready to protest, but didn’t.
“Thank you for your hospitality, Jarl Stoick. I will be leaving now. Good luck, Hiccup.” And he headed down the stairs, presumingly to never be seen again.
“What was it like?” Gobber asked, “talking to an actual Dwemer?”
“It honestly didn’t feel all that different from talking to most people, actually.”
“So what did he say? What does the crown do?” Stoick asked.
What was Hiccup supposed to do? There was absolutely no way Stoick would accept his fate! What could he possibly do?
Perhaps he needed to ease into it.
Hiccup swallowed. “Do…we have any familial ties to Tiber Septim?”
Gobber laughed.
Stoick scoffed, “Tiber Septim? No. He was a Nord, but he married a Cyrodilic woman and had an affair with Queen Barenziah. His direct line wasn’t very long, but his brother’s line went on until the end of the Septim Empire. Didn’t you have studies on this?”
“Yes, and it was all very interesting,” Hiccup assured.
“What does that have to do with the crown?” Stoick asked, more insistent.
Hiccup glanced at everyone in the room. He trusted Gobber and his father with this secret, but not Spitelout and the other two guards.
“Hiccup?”
“I…don’t want everyone to know…” He held his arm.
Stoick calmed slightly, and tried to understand. “Who can you tell?”
“Can the three of us go on the porch?” He gestured to himself, Gobber, and Stoick.
“Of course, Lad!” Gobber wrapped an arm around him and corralled him out onto the Great Porch.
As the name suggests, the Great Porch was a large room, about the same width and height as the Great Hall, that had a large balcony that overlooked the vast fields and the Throat of the World in the distance. The three walked to the edge and sat at the table and chairs placed there.
“Alright son, you have us alone. Now, tell us about the crown.”
“I’m getting there,” Hiccup breathed, nervously rubbing his hands on his thighs. “You remember how this started, right?”
“You went delving in a Nordic Ruin,” Gobber provided.
Stoick frowned. “You went looking for information about the Dragonborn.”
Hiccup swallowed. “Well…I wasn’t completely honest with you, then. I…I found the Dragonborn.”
“What, like the skeleton of the man?” Gobber asked.
“No…I am the Last Dragonborn.”
The two men were silent, and then started laughing.
Hiccup should have expected that.
“Oh lad, not gonna lie, you almost got me there! That was a good one!” Gobber wiped a tear from his eye.
Hiccup sighed, but ultimately just gave a little smile. “Yeah, can you imagine?”
“Alright, so I suppose your curse could be worse. I got it, son, I’m all calm now. What’s the real curse?”
They couldn’t believe him. Even if he was honest, they’d never believe him. That was just always how it was. There was no point.
So he’d continue to lie, and kick himself for it. “It’s nothing. The crown will change its appearance the longer I wear it. And if I have any magic proficiencies, it would enhance them.”
“Which you don’t,” said Stoick.
“...right…he mostly just shared the history of his people.”
“Well, you are very lucky, son. Few people have found cursed artifacts and lived long enough to tell about it, let alone have a manual for use!”
“Yeah, pretty nifty…” Hiccup sighed. “Look, it’s been a long day. I’m tired. Can I go have a nap?”
Stoick rubbed his son’s head fondly. “Of course, Son. Get some rest.”
“Yeah!” Called Gobber as Hiccup rose to his feet. “Get your rest now, because I’m going to work ya to the bone tomorrow!”
Hiccup just waved him off and retreated to his room.

Series Masterlist
©️ artwork commissioned by @vivi8bit ©️
Lucifer straightened his jacket as he entered the ball room, scanning the crowd of demons that danced before him. His eyes fell first on the one causing the most commotion, which happened to be Sarah trying to drag Levi to the dance floor. She was struggling to pull him off of the pillar he was grasping for dear life as he screeched at her. Lucifer chuckled, shaking his head and moving his eyes onward, then to notice Asmo fixing Heart’s matching suit to be perfectly straight. Obviously trying to pose for a picture, he thought to himself. He was happy to see his brothers getting along with the other exchange students.
He continued scanning the crowd until his eyes landed on the fiery red-head in a short black dress, standing alone in the corner near the buffet, watching Beel scarf down an entire cake. Lucifer smiled warmly, walking as suavely as he could toward her. The demons on the dance floor murmured, but made way for him as he stretched his wings out slightly- as if to warn them not to interfere in his date.
“Storm.” Lucifer called to her, causing her head to whip around. “I hope you haven’t been waiting for long. Come, let’s dance.”
Storm nodded, allowing Lucifer to take her hand delicately and guide her to the dance floor. As they swayed to the soft music, Storm couldn’t help but feel like there was 100 eyes on her. She timidly glanced around, now seeing that almost everyone in the room was staring directly at them, murmuring to themselves. She gulped, feeling anxious about being the center of attention.
“E-everyone’s looking at us...” She muttered softly, giving Lucifer an uneasy expression.
“I suppose it’s not surprising.” He smiled, leaning down closer to her. “I’ve never danced with anyone at one of these events before. You’re the first.”
“Wha- really?” She blinked at him in surprise. “Why?”
Lucifer tilted his head slightly. “Why what?”
“Why haven’t you danced with anyone?”
Lucifer chuckled, spinning her once slowly. “Well, no one has ever given me reason enough to want to.”
Storm nodded, trying to decipher the meaning behind his words.
They danced on as, across the room, Sarah had finally gotten Levi to release his hold on the safety of the pillar, now instructing him on where to place his hands while they danced. He was sweating profusely, having also not danced at any event like this before, but for different reasons.
“So then I put my hands here, and you keep them on my waist, and then we just...move.” She smiled as Levi nervously followed her lead in the movements, relishing in how cute he looked trying to learn to waltz.
“I...I f-feel like an idiot.” Levi shook his head, attempting to run back to the corner, but Sarah had a firm grip on his shoulders.
“No! You’re doing great!” She giggled. “Look, you’re getting the hang of the dance!”
“How am I supposed to..? Gah!” He whimpered as he miss-stepped, almost crushing Sarah’s foot. “I’m an oaf, and...There’s so many people here and they’re all staring and-”
Sarah bounced on her toe-tips, shutting Levi up with a kiss. He stared at her with eyes so wide you could see the universe in them. She laughed as she parted from him, amused by the explosion that seemed to be occurring in his brain. She rested her head on his chest as his body finally loosened the tension it had been holding, and Levi allowed himself to feel the music a bit more.
“See? It’s easy. You just gotta relax.” Sarah giggled as Levi squeaked, his face turning bright red.
Fern snickered from the other side of the room. “Did you see that? Your brother’s gonna get some.”
“Gross, Fern.” Belphie sighed in disgust. “Not something I want to picture in my head.”
“She would absolutely destroy him.” Fern laughed. “Like, I think his head would explode.”
Belphie shook his head as an attempt to continue his display of disgust, but couldn’t stop the smile that formed from the laughter bubbling in his chest. “You’re absurd.”
“But that’s why you love me, right?” Fern stuck out their tongue and kicked him in the back of the knee playfully.
Belphie glared at them, kicking them back in the ass. “Don’t start what you can’t finish, dork.”
Fern smirked. “Who says I wont?”
They stared at each other for a moment, trying to read the intentions of the other. The intimate tension between them was bursting at the seems- anyone with eyes could see it. Fortunately for them, the only one really paying attention was Asmo, who would not shy away from pointing it out.
“Would you two just fuck and get it over with already?” He whined gesturing toward the gap between them with his hand. “This is pitiful to watch.”
Belphie’s face drained of color and he looked away, clearing his throat to try to divert any attention away from how awkward he felt. Fern turned beet red, trying to stifle their awkward laughing.
Asmo rolled his eyes. “Seriously, you both are pathetic. It’s not that hard. Watch.”
Without warning Asmo spins Heart into a dip, kissing him deeply. Heart’s eyes were wide with shock, uncertain how to respond to such a sudden, intimate exchange. After a moment, Asmo pulled Heart back up, pushing them toward the dance floor. Lost in a daze, Heart blindly followed Asmo’s direction, a goofy grin plastered on their lips.
“Now get on with it so we wont have to watch you guys dance around the elephant in the room!” He called back to them, disappearing in the crowd with Heart to dance some more.
The tension remained between Belphie and Fern, now thicker and feeling as if more was at stake if it was ignored. Belphie eyed Fern out of the corner of his vision, trying to size up their reaction if he were to just go for it.
Maybe Asmo was right.
Belphie took a deep breath, running a hand through his hair nervously. “So...uh...you wanna...like...”
“YES.” Fern blurted out immediately, not letting Belphie finish his thought.
Belphie blinked at them in surprise as they sucked in a breath and held it before nearly tackling him to the ground. He managed to stabilize himself as they smashed their face into his, mumbling an “ow” into their lips as their teeth collided. That didn’t stop them from kissing him harder, really taking Asmo’s advice and deciding to go for it. Belphie smirked, biting their lip playfully as they kissed, causing Fern to groan into his mouth.
Asmo laughed from the distance, clearly pleased with himself for finally getting the two to just go for it. He turned his full attention toward Heart, who was finally to come out of his daze. He admired the soft expression on their face, knowing he easily had woo’d them. Which, after all, could be more than expected from the Avatar of Lust, he boasted internally.
“How are you doing, darling?” He cooed, starting to sway with heart to the music. “Seems like I maybe caught you a little off guard, hmm?”
“I...uh...” Heart stammered, blushing deeply. They had no idea what to even say about what had just transpired.
“Listen, baby.” Asmo pressed himself closet, their lips nearly touching. “I’m not emotionally constipated like most of my brothers, so I have no problem just coming right out and saying I think you’re the sweetest little thing I’ve ever seen- besides myself of course.”
“Jeez, I hardly compare to you, but...” Heart laughed nervously. “Thanks, I guess.”
Asmo grinned, booping him on the nose. “Nonsense! I think you’re great. And adorable. And funny and smart and charming in your own way!”
Heart giggled, a dopey expression painted on their face. Obviously they were completely smitten.
“And...After you asked me to the ball...I guess I kind of realized something.” Asmo sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “I like Storm. I really do, but she’s...” He glanced over in her direction, noticing the way she stared up at Lucifer with twinkling eyes. “She’s not the one for me.”
Heart raised an eyebrow. “O-oh?”
Asmo nodded. “Mmhm. I mostly just kinda had a petty crush. And after thinking about it, we don’t even really have that much in common. And she seems disinterested...so I guess I just wanted her to like me because...well, I wanted everyone to like me.”
Heart nodded along, transfixed on what Asmo was saying.
“...So, I know that I’m a hot commodity because duh, look at me! But...I’d be fine if the only person giving me any attention in the world was you.” Now it was Asmo’s turn to blush as butterflies rustled in his stomach. “I really like you, Heart.”
Heart’s outer expression was the same dopey smile, but internally his mind was screaming in joy with fireworks exploding in the background. Asmo likes him? HIM? Of all people! Wow, what an honor. The only thing he could think to say back was a simple “Eheh, I l-like you too.”
Asmo smiled, flipping his hair out of his eyes and leaning in closer for a kiss. “I know.”
“Would you hurry the fuck up?!” Vivi whispered in an aggressive tone toward as Lucifer disappeared out of sight. Satan was wondering behind her rather slowly, and she knew they needed to act fast before Lucifer caught any wind of their absence. “We only have a limited amount of time to do this before people notice we’re gone.”
“Maybe I want them to notice.” Satan smirked, leaning against the door frame as Vivi unlocked the office, clearly attempting to flirt.
Vivi shot him a pointed glare as the tumbler on the lock clicked out of place. “If you don’t get these bees into his desk drawer in the next 8 seconds, they’re going straight up your ass.”
Satan flashed his eyebrows quickly, earing a exasperated groan from Vivi. She snatched the box from Satan containing the wasps doused in sleeping potion. She carefully pulled each drawer on his desk, finding each have their own separate locks.
“Are you fuckin’ kidding me!?” Vivi yelled, kicking the side of the desk. “How paranoid is he!?”
“Yeah, well...that’s the way Lucifer has always been.” Satan shrugged, hopping up onto the top of Lucifer’s desk. “He doesn’t really trust anybody. Not even Diavolo.”
“But doesn’t he do like...everything for him?” Vivi sighed, popping the cork off of a bottle of Demonus and taking a swig. Stuffing the wasps into the empty bottle wasn’t ideal, but it would have to do. She handed the bottle to Satan, offering him a swig.
Satan gladly obliged, taking a huge gulp of the the Demonus, knowing full well it was one of Lucifer’s vintage bottles he would polish off after a long day of work. “I mean, he is his lapdog, for sure. But that doesn’t mean he trusts him. Lucifer hides things from everyone, even him.” He passed the bottle back to Vivi, debating whether or not to tell her about the attic situation with Belphegor last year.
Vivi took another swig. “What about Storm?”
Satan stayed quiet for a moment, thinking over the question. Eventually, he shrugged. “I’m not sure how much he trusts her, but he definitely still hides things from her. The main one being that he’s absolutely in love with her.”
Vivi rolled her eyes. “Anyone could see that if they looked hard enough.”
“Well Storm seems to not really know for sure.” Satan shrugged again, taking the bottle back for another swig. “She seems pretty uncertain of his intentions- so I suppose that answers your question.”
“Yeah.” Vivi paused, the silence around them consuming the room. “What about you?”
“Hmm?” Satan paused mid-drink, eyeing her curiously. “What about me?”
“Do you hide things or whatever.” She tried to act like she didn’t care whether he answered or not, but her curiosity was hard to restrain.
Satan smirked, bumping her shoulder with his. “I could ask you the same thing.”
She glared at him. “Answer the damn question, twink.”
Satan laughed. “I think everyone has something to hide- some more than others. So yeah, I do keep some secrets. Do you wanna hear one?”
Vivi looked him up and down, the reigning of her curiousness about him faltering. “Sure.”
Satan leaned in, the smirk widening on his face. He brushed a strand of hair out of her face, resting his hand gently on the side of her head. The smell of the Demonus wafted off his breath, causing her nose to scrunch up- clearly he had a bit to drink before this bottle. She was unsure of how to respond to what he was doing.
“I think you’re pretty-” He whispered, trying to get his lips closer for a kiss, “-and I like you.”
Vivi’s eyes widened as he gently pressed his lips against hers. His lips were oddly soft, and she barely noticed the traces of alcohol with how shocked she was that he even had the nards to do this in the first place. The kiss was brief, ending almost as soon as it started, and Satan pulled away with a huge, dopey grin on his face.
As if instinctually, Vivi suddenly reeled back and punched him hard in the gut, knocking the wind out of him. Satan fell off the desk trying to catch his breath while clutching his abdomen. She watched as he writhed in pain on the floor, and couldn’t hold back the giggles she got at the light-headed feeling of being kissed by him.
“Arhggh...what was that for?!” Satan groaned in pain, glancing up to see Vivi laughing like a maniac.
She ignored him, opening the box and shoving the wasps into the empty bottle before corking it and placing it back on the shelf. The dark glass hid the contents well, and she was sure that Lucifer would be in for quite the surprise the next time he went for a drink. However, her thoughts didn’t linger on the satisfaction of the prank for long, and quickly drifted back to the feeling of Satan’s lips against hers.
She rushed out of the office, calling for Satan to hurry up as he slowly got up off the floor. He glanced at her again, noticing the softness in her eyes and the lightness to her movements now, drastically different from the heavy way she tended to carry herself. Something about her demeanor seemed less threatening, though Satan would be lying if he said he didn’t find the tough exterior just as attractive as what was underneath.
“You needn’t worry about them, Storm.” Lucifer reassured her as he rubbed her back, having abandoned the dance floor after she began hyperventilating. “They wont bring you any harm. Not when you’re with me.”
Storm shook her head. “I...I know...I just cant...” She sighed, hugging her waist tightly. “I can’t take the whispers.”
Lucifer nodded sadly. What was supposed to be a romantic night for them was proving to be a disaster. Beel had already demolished the buffet, Levi was screeching like a chimpanzee in the middle of the dance floor, Belphie and Fern were all over each other, and Satan and Vivi had mysteriously disappeared. He sighed, trying to think of how to fix it.
Storm watched his expression, now feeling guilt fester for having ruined their night. My chance to show him I’m enough for him, and I blew it. She tightened her grip on herself as tears began welling behind her eyes. “I-I’m sorry...I just need some air.”
Before Lucifer could stop her, Storm quickly paced out of the ballroom, tears blurring her vision as she ran aimlessly, trying to find a door to the courtyard. Lucifer stood staring, wondering where it was that he went wrong. His heart sank, as he tried to reason why she had run away.
Storm rounded the corner, and immediately hit something hard. She feel back on her ass, hissing at the pain caused by both the collision between her and the floor, and her head and whoever it was’ chest.
“Oi...watch where yer goin’, will ya!” Mammon groaned, having also falling back on the floor as a result of the collision. “Don’tcha know who I am!? I’m-”
Storm blinked away the tears, staring straight into Mammon’s piercing blue irises. He stared back, as if unable to believe he had run into her- as if it were impossible.
“Oh...I-I-I’m so sorry, Mammon...” She stammered, trying to maneuver her way off the floor without accidentally flashing him. She cursed herself internally for wearing such a revealing dress.
Mammon quickly scrambled to his feet and offered her his arm to help her up. “Nah, it was my fault. Are ya alright?”
Storm nodded, trying not to make eye contact for fear that he would see she’d been crying. To her disdain, he had noticed before he even helped her up, seeing the tear streaks down her face almost immediately.
“What’s wrong?” Mammon gripped her by the shoulders tightly, trying to get her to look at him. “Did someone hurt ya? Was it Lucifer? I’ll wring his neck if he dared lay a hand on ya, I swear-”
Storm shook her head wildly, putting some distance between them. “N-no, It’s okay. I just...” She sighed, rubbing the back of her neck with her hand. “I just had a panic attack, it’s not a big deal.”
Mammon blinked for a moment, before nodding once. He shoved his hands into his pockets, kicking the floor of the hall. “So...yer date’s goin’...fine, then?”
Storm watched his movements carefully, not knowing what he could say to her that may be insulting or hurtful. “It’s going ok, there’s just...too many people there.”
Mammon glanced up, giving a slight shrug. “Wanna go for a walk? Take a lil’ break?”
Storm paused for a moment, before a small smile pulled onto her lips. “I’d like that.”

Hello! I’ll be the 🪷 anon. May I request a Alphabet Matchup Event with Genshin Impact and Demon Slayer (Humans) ? From Fluff Alphabet G, B and O.
Age: 22
Preferred pronouns: Her/She
Preferred gender(s) of match: Male
personality description (at least 3-5 positive traits and 2-3 negative traits)
Introverted. I’ve been told I am a calm, respectful, and quiet individual when you first meet me. Often having a calm or blank expression on my face. And that I have a quiet and enjoyable presence. As my relationship slowly grows more I tend to express myself more with the person.
Honest: I’d be honest with my partner and for them to be too. I take responsibility for my actions as well even when challenging.
Loyalty: I treasure this in all my relationships. Where we have full trust in one in another. A loyal companion, supportive of my partner and his goals.
I am told I am a caretaker / mom figure person. I enjoy taking care of the people I love and tend to their need. When a loved one is passing a hard time, I feel a deep sympathy for their suffering and misfortune, and I have a desire to extend a hand. Often staying by their side until they are back up on their feet. I attentively listen to my friends and family often confide with me and give advice when needed.
———-
Negative
Being too strict to yourself: Often I am hard on myself. And set goals that I feel that I need to accomplish as perfect as possible. So someone who reassure to take it easy will be welcomed.
Conflict avoidance: I struggle with conflict avoidance may have a hard time talking to others because they’re afraid of upsetting people. Unless it involves my loved ones or my surrounding people (which then I would act accordingly.) , I prefer to avoid any type of conflict and keep words to myself. To maintain things peaceful even if I put myself under bad light and diffuse the matter in a very subtle manner.
Your likes and hobbies/interests
Reading: I love learning about new information of various things. I would especially enjoy if I could share it my partner and he would like to listen to me.
Gardening: I like to grow different kinds of flowers and caring for them. I would give my loved ones their favourite flowers as gifts. A place flowers that give a calming scent in rooms.
Sky/ Night gazing: I enjoy feeling the sun and gazing at the sky. At night I enjoy watching the stars and moon. I like describing the sky for my loved one and relaxing with them.
Your Dislikes:
Loud noises: I don’t mind some loud noise and will tolerate it. However I do gain a slight headache after that.
Fighting/ Arguments: I absolutely dislike arguments. It absolutely hurts me if my loved ones are fighting and will intervene to calm both parties. I would prefer not to argue with my partner at all.
relationship dealbreakers
Partners age is to be 21-26.
Exclusive relationship
Like to start a family of my own with my partner.
I would like my partner to be a kind, calm and respectful individual. And I would not like a romantic partner to be an ill tempered or extremely loud person.
Hello, and thanks for joining my event! Also, I love your choice of emoji. ☺️
For you, I think the best match is…
Zhongli!
Age-wise he’s technically over 6000, but his current physical form seems to be in his mid to late 20s, so I hope that’s okay. In all other respects I think he’s perfect for you - calm, kind, even-tempered, polite, and he loves sharing knowledge and stories. Since you’re naturally quiet, he does tend to do more of the talking in the relationship, but he is always ready, willing and thrilled to listen to you describe the latest book you’re reading and your favorite constellations. It’s hard to find a more loyal or honest partner, and if you’re not great with conflict, no worries. He will always stand up for you, in a respectful and even-handed way that doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable.
B is for Beauty
You remind him of a glaze lily - charming even when you’re closed off, but all the more lovely in an environment that allows you to fully bloom. It goes without saying that he admires and appreciates your compassion and honesty, but most of all he loves the spark of excitement you get when you get to be the one to teach him something new.
G is for Gratitude
Zhongli is a very observant and appreciative partner. Anything you do for him will be noticed and rewarded with a “Thank you, dearest” at a minimum. He’s also, like the master of giving thoughtful and surprising gifts - usually given to him as favors for his consulting services, rather than bought with his own mora. 😅 Some hard to find flower seeds from Inazuma? A hand-painted star atlas from Sumeru? Nothing is too rare or pricey even if he has to bum some money from Childe.
O is for On Cloud Nine
Zhongli is a man of decorum and class, alright? He’s not going to be skipping down the streets of Chihu Rock, no matter how in love he may be, and he’s also not into anything but the most subtle PDA. When you’re alone with him, though, he’s a really warm and doting partner - lots of gentle smiles and even gentler touches. And those who know him best - Xiao, for example - notice a certain vitality and lightness in his demeanor that he hasn’t had in a very long time before you came around.
Imo Zhongli is like the best husband material in Genshin Impact, so congratulations! I hope he's to your liking. ☺️

Book Blurb: From the highly acclaimed author of the Bone Witch trilogy comes a chilling story of a Japanese ghost looking for vengeance and the boy who has no choice but to trust her, lauded as a "a fantastically creepy story sure to keep readers up at night"-RT Book Reviews
I am where dead children go.
Okiku is a lonely soul. She has wandered the world for centuries, freeing the spirits of the murdered-dead. Once a victim herself, she now takes the lives of killers with the vengeance they're due. But releasing innocent ghosts from their ethereal tethers does not bring Okiku peace. Still she drifts on.
Such is her existence, until she meets Tark. Evil writhes beneath the moody teen's skin, trapped by a series of intricate tattoos. While his neighbors fear him, Okiku knows the boy is not a monster. Tark needs to be freed from the malevolence that clings to him. There's just one problem: if the demon dies, so does its host.
Suspenseful and creepy, The Girl from the Well is perfect for readers looking for
Spooky books for young adults
Japanese horror novels
Ghost stories for teens
East Asian folklore
Review:
Vengeance, spirits, and a strange boy covered in tattoos. Okiku is a spirit, she’s been wandering around for centuries freeing the spirits of the murdered and dead... and seeking vengeance against their murderers. Once a vctim herself she now hunts down killers and releases innocent ghosts... but she still hungers for more. She constantly drifts until she meets Tarquin “Tark” a boy who’se mother tried to kill him and tattooed his body with intricate tattoos that turn out to be seals. Okiku starts to notice something about Tark... another spirit that is attached to him... a demon. If the seals on his skin are broken the demon will be free and if the demon dies so does Tark. Soon Okiku will find herself immersed in the lives of Tark and his family as they try and find a cure for Tark as his condition worsens and Okiku might be the only one who can solve it. As a huge fan of horror movies, ghost stories, and East Asian folklore, this was right up my alley. I had a blast reading this and would definitely recommend it! The relationship between Okiku and Tark is sweet, and the horror and ghost element to the story was great, also the folklore was so interesting.

February Wrap-Up
February simultaneously felt long and short. I saw a post saying how January and February of this year have both felt like 5 years a piece. I somewhat agree with this assessment. Yet, at the same time, in the whirlwind of packing and moving that I’m in, I feel like February flew by!
💜Regarding Me💜
So, I mentioned moving! Because we will be moving this summer and I am very excited about that fact! I am less excited about the process of moving but it has to be done. We’re used to it and we have a pretty extensive system. But it takes time. The last month has been a lot of figuring out what we’re getting rid of, packing boxes and loading them into the storage pod; and otherwise prepping the house for staging and then selling.
We have 30 boxes of books. THIRTY! And they’re all stacked neatly in the storage pod. That’s not even all the books, since we left some out for staging (and to read obviously). I estimate it’s probably another 2-3 boxes of books alone.
Aside from books, I’ve packed lots of knick knacks, some extra dishware, board games and puzzles, and other stuff that can sit in storage for several months.
The timeline is a bit of a long one. We’re loading a storage pod full of about a third of our stuff so that way the house looks roomier (which will help it sell). This has the added bonus of less of our personal belongings out when people come to look at the house. We have to do this before they take pictures and it goes on the market, so that’s why there’s such a rush now.
We’re going to look at houses to buy next month. We’ve already met with a realtor (on both ends). There’s lots of moving parts.
We won’t get our second pod until a few weeks before we actually move, which won’t be until July probably.
So when I’m complaining about moving for the next several months… this is why.
💻At the Keyboard💻
I have done tragically little writing this month. See the above moving shenanigans for the reason why. I’m diving back in to Heist, but I haven’t actually done much revising. I have outlined all of Draft 3 though! I have some new direction for a couple of the main characters and I’m excited to get it onto the page (when I get there.)
I’m also starting to work in Scrivener, which has some really neat features, and about a billion more that I’m learning. It’s a reasonable learning curve though. And it’s nice to have all my notes for the project all in one place. (Well, plus the notes I make on my phone since Scrivener for Android isn’t a thing yet.) But those get inputted into the Scrivener file relatively quickly.
So while it’s slow-going, I’m hoping to keep plugging away at it through March and actually start proper revisions next month.
In addition to Heist, I finished workshopping TBW with a couple of critique partners this past month. I have a lot of cool ideas for revisions, some major, some minor, some a bit in between. There’s a lot of questions about the book that I still have to answer for myself.
But I’m liking the direction it’s going. But it needs to rest for at least another month before I dive back in.
📚From the Bookshelf📚
I’ve been reading Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki. I’m really enjoying the narrative entrenched with music, a setting I’m semi-familiar with, demonic bargains, multiple POVs, and so much more! I’m about halfway through the audiobook, which is fantastic. Super enjoying myself. I’ll do a proper review when I finish it.
And with that, I’ll sign off. Until next month!

This is just for fun probably not gonna do this again. I’ve been watching a lot of kdrama series lately so I thought I’d rate them.
note: My ratings are mostly based on my attention span. If it’s a good show with good characters, I usually look past acting and stick to it. Also, I always finish a series I started because I’m just built that way.
above 5 means it’s watchable, less than 5 means it’s trash and I’m dying.
Some are on going, some finished, some I’m still finishing
1. Destined With You 7/10 (Finished)
Rowoon’s acting man, he keeps it nice and fresh. His chemistry with Jo Boah…chef’s kiss 🤌🏼 So cute. The story isn’t interesting enough for me to pay attention to tho, in fact it makes things confusing. Like do they like each other because they like each other, or because of their past lives, or because of the love spell. Up until the end, the book of spells things had no relevance to the story whatsoever.
2. Strong Girl Nam Soon 7/10 (finishing)
It’s hard not to compare it to strong do bong soon, which is like one of the staples of kdrama. Started out way too fast paced, it was giving me a whiplash and then it dragged in the middle. Namsoon and ML has barely any chemistry. It was like they just like each other, like it was already decided they were going to be together from the start. RYU FUCKING SHIO. Carried the fucking show. His little interactions with Namsoon, his back story, him blushing at her. Everything. 2 points just for him. They did him dirty. Why do writers keep doing this? Make us think he has a chance and kill him off at the end? like wtf
3. A Good Day to be A Dog 8/10
Airing once a week makes it hard to remember the story and because of that the recaps takes time off the actual episode. I read parts of the webtoon. The show is very similar except for the part in the past life. Light and funny, but that’s it. Idk in my head i’m comparing it to business proposal (another feel good show) and it just falters in comparison. Also, idk if this is an unpopular opinion but CEW acting isn’t as good as it was in true beauty. I understand the characters are similar but him in true beauty was much better or am i biased? here he seems more stoic and he does this poses in some scenes that feels like he knows he’s good looking and it’s funny to watch 😂 like yes sir you are good looking we get it. Who is directing him to do this.
4. Moon in the Day 7/10
Good but exhausting. Every episode there’s a new plot, new plot twist. It’s trying to be so many things at once and forcing all the pieces to fit in that the main leads are neglected. Tho there are a couple of scenes where they were so cute and adorable but not enough. Before you know it they’re professing love to each other like when did that happen? Is FL the same person she was in her past life or not? Is ML in love with her or because she looks like his wife. The curse thing is also so confusing. Over-explains itself.
5. The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract 6/10
Not enough episodes to have an opinion but with the recent ones, i just think it’s cute. It’s cute and fun. Nothing that makes me excited to watch it again. It’s always the last I watch on fridays and saturdays. I like the actors. But the ML feels like a miscast. I know he’s a good actor but he just feels way too boy next door-y. Which is so confusing because I could’ve sworn I’ve watched him in another show where he was a chaebol and he was fine. Idk if it was the director’s fault but he just doesn’t feel like a rich chaebol ceo yet. Hopefully he falls into the character more in the next episodes. FL is so freaking beautiful tho and her acting 📈
6. My Demon 9/10
Visual Couple, Funny story, amazing scene. Also props to the writers and directors like how they thought of tango/fighting scene is beyond me. It’s currently the only one i’m excited to keep watching. And the story isn’t too complicated that it’s confusing to understand and still feels logical, even though it’s fantasy. 100% recommend you jump into the bandwagon. could be 10/10 if happy ending but we’ll have to wait for that.
7. My man is cupid 8/10
Feels like my demon. I like it. I kinda like my demon more not sure why. I think my demon keeps us in out toes while this show is more of a slowburn. It just feels like any other fantasy show rn obviously it’s only been two episode but still interesting. Attractive actors. Nana is so freaking pretty. ML and SL is also good looking.
8. The Matchmakers 7/10
trying to focus while watching it. It’s very slow paced and I have the attention span of a fish. That being said there some funny scenes that made me topple over laughing but I think I’m going to wait until all episodes are out and finish it.
9. Castaway Diva 8/10 (finishing)
Just started but already the scenes are so pretty. PEB can literally make me watch anything of hers she’s such a good actress. Story is very fresh and easy to watch. Don’t know who ML is yet but I have a feeling it’s not my pick. Woo Hak just goes above and beyond for her, if he’s not Ki Ho (?) I’m going to be so angry. Does FL have to always end up with the childhood love?? To hell with star-crossed lovers.
10. Perfect Marriage Revenge 6/10
It started out good and then it was just exhausting to watch. Every problems have easy solutions that the antagonists don’t really feel like villains. Very telenovela-y. I did read the webtoon so the story wasn’t that much of a surprise. I do however have a bone to pick. I am very confident in Sung Hoon’s acting skills. I’ve watched his other series previously. So why…Why is he making his voice lower than it is 😂 It’s so obvious it’s funny. I try to ignore but in some scenes where he’s supposed to be angry, it sounds more like he’s growling. I can’t take him seriously at all.

Waging War
Hey everyone! I'm back! Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile! It's been a crazy ride the last few weeks. I was sick for awhile. Just now getting my energy back. How has everyone been? I don't know about you, but I feel like the world is going crazy. Every time you turn on the news, something is happening. School shootings, natural disasters, etc. Even churches are turning away from God. One thing really blew my mind. I don't know if you heard, but Disney is now letting men dress up as Disney Princesses at Disney World. Wait, what? Yeah, I was confused too. To be honest, it made me mad. Why would you have a guy dress up as a princess where children are at? It's not even transgenders. They're actual men. That's just taking it too far. What's going to be next? I'm not going to lie, I've been thinking about giving up Disney since I found out about this. At least the movies from 2010 until now. I know people will say I'm overreacting, but am I though? You might say they're just expressing themselves or whatnot, but I think there's a deeper issue here. We have an enemy and he wants to do everything he can to confuse us and turn us away from God. He doesn't want us to have anything to do with God and go against His law. Don't you think he's doing that now? One of the biggest companies in the world is now letting men be princesses. You don't think that's going to confuse children? They're going to think that's ok when it's really not. In fact the whole world is getting confused and going against The Word. Right now, people are celebrating Pride month for the LGBTQ+ community. A whole month about celebrating sin. I know I'll probably get a lot of backlash for this, but God says it is. You can read it in Romans 1:24-32 and Leviticus 18:22. Those are just a couple verses right there in black and white. Yes, I know we have free will and people will say they can't help it, but it still doesn't make it right. I don't want to get too deep into that today though. My point is that people are making it seem that it's ok. Not just with LGBTQ+ and men dressing up as Princesses, but in other areas too. I just found out that there's this new video game called Diablo 4 where you can kill demons. The subtitle or whatever it's called says "Welcome To Hell." Yeah, no way that game is coming into my house. People are now promoting demons and making it seem like it's no big deal. The spirit world is real though and we're not supposed to have anything to do with it or demons. Why are we thinking it's ok then? Well, the enemy is trying to plant a seed and tell us it's not a big deal. Unfortunately, many people are listening. Even Christians are starting to conform to this "new norm." As believers in Christ though, we're not supposed to conform to this world and fit in. We're supposed to stand for what's true, good and God's Will. You can read it in Romans 12:2. I believe it's time for Christians to take a stand and let people know this is not ok. I remember this quote from the movie God's Not Dead 2 that says, "I would rather stand with God and be judged by the world, than stand with the world and be judged by God." That should be our motto. We should want to stand with God because He loves us and knows what's best for us. Don't be afraid to speak up. Will you be mocked or ridiculed or whatever? Most likely, yes. Trust me though, it'll be worth it. You might have hardships down here, but if you continue to stand with God and keep your faith, you will have great reward in Heaven. Read Matthew 5:10-12. The Gospel is clear on what's right and wrong. It's our job as believers to spread The Gospel and stand up for what's true and right, even if you'll get laughed at or whatever.
We're in a war right now. Not against flesh, but of forces of darkness. We need to step up right now more than ever. Satan is working overtime right now. Which, brings me to another thought. Why is he working so hard right now to cause destruction and turmoil and confusion? It's because he knows his time is coming to an end. He knows the end of the story, which is not a happy ending for the loser. It is a happy ending for us, believers in Christ, though. The Bible says Jesus will come back as King and set everything right, throw satan into the deepest part of Hell where he will never get out and God will dwell with His children forevermore. If you ask me, satan is just a scaredy cat sissy. LOL I believe Jesus is coming back real soon. Of course no one knows the exact time. Only God knows. It says so in Mark 13:32. With everything happening in the world though, it looks like we're closer now than ever. That's why we have to get ready. Put your faith in Jesus, turn away from your sins and own desires and don't conform with the world. Don't keep thinking you have time to get closer to God. Jesus can come back any day and it will unfortunately be too late for some people. Now is the time to get right with God and stand with Him no matter what. One day, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. I choose to do that now though. We need to put on the full Armor of God every day and stop letting satan try to blind us. Pray fervently and keep watch. We know who wins at the end of this battle. Well, I'm out for now friends. Have a great week! Until next time!
Lauren

Have I mentioned that I love my physical therapist?
She showed me this today
She uses it herself diagnostically but she mentioned that I am the first client she ever showed it to. I love this thing. Which I said and she nodded and said she thought I would like it.
This, for me, is doing some of the things the pain scale is just failing me at.
She showed it to me because I was talking to her about having an issue with giving a pain scale number because it is “split” as best I could describe it. I can tell that different elements of my pain are giving me different levels of pain and this radar chart lets me talk about it.
What we tend to think of as the 0 or 1 to 10 pain scale is that furthest dot on the example radar chart: Nociceptive / Physiological. She describes it as stubbing your toe, your body notes that input and its severity and sends that message up the line, saying I hurt and I hurt X amount, so that the brain can decide how to respond.
But she showed it to me because I was trying to convey to her that I’m noticing a split in the pain scale I use

My #1 post of 2022
I just heard the fan theory that the Borg are “farming” the Federation. Essentially attacking the Federation in ways they know will just barely fail in order to provoke the Federation to keep coming up with new tech that the Borg can still steal from single vessels. The Borg could beat the Federation if they deployed in full force but this way, they get all the technology that the Federation comes up with to fight them. This might be a standard Borg tactic. They just ping creative species until the advancements are tapped out and then they go full force assimilation.
And, having heard that, I think I like that better than a large chunk of stuff that has been done with the Borg in cannon at this point. That I find interesting.
