sun oct 8th, 2023

grateful for : cooking & eating delicious food, my beautiful wonderful partner & how special they r to me, the year we’ve spent together, all the special & new things we’ve done, the ability to exist in the same space with comfort, the ability to share, their kindness & the closeness i’ve gotten with them, the new things i keep learning abt them, their life, & their love

[personaei]

hektor remained silent for a long moment, letting the golden god rage against the reality of their situation before reaching out an arm and pulling his slight frame against hektor's own.

" ξέρω. " i know.

some day, he would be called upon to marry, to make a family and become the heir priam needed, expected. what troy would require, he would gladly endure but now -- now in this moment, hektor allowed himself to want.

his hands were steady, if untrained in arts between bodies that weren't predicated on violence. hektor's arms wrapped around apollo's lithe waist, pulling him up to kiss him intensely, directly -- and if he didn't hold the god in mid-air that simply wasn't possible. hektor towered over apollo by over a foot, and bending over for as long as he wanted to kiss the god simply wasn't an option.

cradling the back of apollo's head with one hand, he pushed him against the wall closest, ensuring no discomfort. even now, clumsy as he felt using his strength for love rather than war, he wanted to be careful. caring, as he was able, even if his arousal was already pressing against apollo's stomach, aching for more than this.

an impossibly brutal man given way to softness, if just for a moment.

@personaei from x

"But I do not want anyone else!"

Apollo says it like a petulant child, feeling his cheeks flush ichor with the sudden burst of emotion rushing through him. He sniffs, looking away out of shame, his brow furrowing. How could Hektor say such things? Apollo knows--he knows that he will lose him, his death inching closer day by day, but it means nothing to him now. There is nothing he can do to save him for he has tried, so can he not simply enjoy what time he has?

"You don't understand how I feel for you, then, if you think that I care about any of that." His voice trembles slightly, a far cry from the smooth, melodic tone that he usually has. He looks back up at Hektor, his eyes full of tears, his lower lip trembling. "Οπταις αμμε." You burn me. It is whispered weakly, his voice breaking. Apollo swallows hard and shakes his head.

"It is useless for me to fight how I feel. I cannot. You ask the impossible of me. If I look for someone else, it will do nothing but make me ache for you more."

QUEEN GIFTS ANYA AND GUS THEIR VERY OWN "STARTER PALACE"

Where should a Prince and Princess live? In a palace, of course, and the Queen seems to agree! Her Majesty gifted the royal newlyweds a lavish 112-room palace, located right in the heart of the country.

Several reports confirm that Her Majesty has handed over the keys of the magnificent Mulberry Palace to Gus and Anya! The impressive 270-year old Palace is among the privately-owned residences of the Royal Family.

Located in Brindlebridge, Mulberry Palace sits within Mulberry Park and boasts acres upon acres of land, complete with scenic views and thriving wildlife - perfect for outdoorsy Anya and Gus.

It also has a reflecting pool, a grand fountain, formal gardens, perfectly manicured lawns, and a detached observatory! We can only imagine the upkeep, because the property also boasts five kitchens, two ballrooms, an indoor pool, and even a bowling alley!

But as Palaces go, it's apparently on the "smaller" side, and the Queen thought it would be a great training ground, a "starter palace" of sorts, for the future Queen and her consort. A royal expert shares:

"Mulberry is a stunning property, and while its vast grounds and a hundred something rooms are certainly impressive, it's on the smaller scale, as palaces go. For context, Brindleton Palace has over 800 rooms, and Briar Palace - the Queen's country retreat - boasts over 600 rooms. But, again, that's not to diminish Mulberry in any way. I've been fortunate enough to visit, and its art collection alone will make your jaw drop. It may be small, but it's incredibly luxurious. It's big without being too big, and I think Her Majesty recognises its potential as the perfect setting to raise a young family... a starter palace, so to speak."

The Queen also reportedly thought that the property would be perfect for Gus and Anya, who are both very active and love the outdoors. The expert further spills:

"It has all the modern luxuries anyone could want, and since Mulberry is a private residence, they can also explore the grounds in peace, without the nosy public prying and taking photos. This is a great place to relax and unwind for those two. I can already see Anya riding her horses, and Gus going on a run around the Palace grounds."

The wedding gift came in a little late, because, apparently, some minor renovations and improvements had to be done to ensure that everything is in tip-top shape for Their Royal Highnesses.

No news yet on whether Gus and Anya will be calling Mulberry their official residence. Currently, the lovebirds reside in Agneau House, and their office is also based there, too.

But seeing as Mulberry Palace is a long drive from the city (about three hours by car), we're guessing they'll continue to stay in Agneau and spend their holidays in Mulberry. Guess we'll have to see!

'Grats on the new digs, Your Royal Highnesses! When's the housewarming party, and are we invited?

I would like to know more about the thought process of the red crown in this AU. Wanna see how it felt with Narinder to how it felt with the lamb.

Buckle up, Buttercup, we are going on a journey with no destination!

I've gathered the few bits and bobs I found about the crowns and we all agree they are very sentient! To a degree, they can act w/o their bearer's permission (we have seen the crown just flying away and doing their thing in the animated shorts). But it only starts to speak to Lambert when it becomes a snake... why? Let's start from the beginning and compare the two Red Crown bearers. Narinder was no stranger to his duties as a god, he had been trained by Shamura and already had their example and Kallamar's to follow. So the crown found that their influence on Narinder could only go so far as he was probably controlled and knew how to use the powers the crown gave him, as a tool. A masterful specimen of a crown bearer who could control and never let slip. Lambert on the other hand has Zero preparation aside from Ratau and the little crumbs of info that Narinder gives them. So the Red Crown probably has a field day with them. Like yay, I am free! But free of doing what exactly?

Looking at this ^^^^^ The crown is clearly possessing Lambert. In my Au (as extensively stated every time Leshy thinks about his power and green crown) I assumed that the crown would react and amplify the emotions of their bearers and give them power based on their state of mind/heart. Lambert shakes their head and seems regretful of his outburst because they couldn't control it, they were angry but NOT a monster, right? It's clearly the crown. In many of my drawings, you see the crowns mimicking or mirroring the bearer's feelings and sometimes even going further (like RC pitying Narinder when he fell from godhood or the blue crown looking horrified while Kallamar puts up a poker face). So back to square one: How did the crown feel with Narinder? Trapped. Used. How does it feel with Lambert? Free. Hungry. It's not a coincidence to me that it speaks to Lambert when it is in snake form: "Crown Bearer. How wonderful to finally speak. You have come far. Further than they know. " (Who is THEY btw?!) because in my opinion, with Narinder the crown never really tasted sin and mortality. He was too trained and composed, while Lambert is very much mortal still! The crown savours the defects of mortality and exploits them to feed on sin. (in the fic we see the snake happening not only with carnal sins but with doubt and jealousy are manifested.) You might well argue that with Kallamar's tendencies sin would flow aplenty in the blue crown, but Kallamar (as for Narinder) was trained to control the crown at a young age so while he showed "weakness of the flesh" he never lost grip or control over his tool.

What are the crown's ultimate motives?

Now that's the ultimate question. I feel like the crown wants to be a tool no longer, they want to be in control and not let a vessel or a god use them. I found in the wiki this gif yet unused in the game (not sure it's 100% official... ) that is called "crown posses" so, I want to stretch as far as to say the crown wants to be the god and be free, but they need Lambert to feed them more power in order to do so. The crown will keep whispering and inducing Lambert to sin so they can gather more power until... So grats for getting to the end of the mega wall of text of doom. That's so far what I gathered for my Au. Please let me know your opinion if you feel like it! 💙 And Thanks for the ask!

And now, we take a moment of silence for the fallen ones

summary: your mom helps you finally get rid of your musty boyfriend

A few weeks had passed and I had been avoiding my boyfriend like the plague. I hadn't actually broken up with him unfortunately but I didn't want something like this to break our relationship. "Hey mom?"

"Yeah hon?"

"Can Andrew come over tonight?"

"What?" She closed her laptop and turned her full body to look at me. "Andrew your boyfriend?"

"Yeah."

"That you haven't talked to in 2 weeks because he's been trying to pressure you into doing sexual stuff?"

"Yeah but-"

"No he's not coming over."

"But-"

"No. And I'm not going to apologize for it either." She stood up and walked over to me. "You said a week ago that you wanted to break up with him because it wasn't fair to you that he was treating you this way."

"But it's just one little thing. I can't let that destroy our relationship."

"Him pushing your boundaries multiple times even though you told him to stop?" I frowned and looked at the ground. "He's the one who told you it was a little thing wasn't it? He said he was going to change?"

"But he will-"

"People like him are never going to change." She sighed, leaning against the kitchen counter. "Look, I've encountered people like him in my job so much I know them like the back of my hand. I want so much to just break up with him for you and shoot him dead, but I can't. You have to learn these things on your own."

"He's not a serial killer mom."

"He thinks he's entitled to your body. He pressures you into doing things you don't want to do for his benefit and you end up getting hurt in the end and he doesn't care." I frowned. She was right.

"He doesn't care about me?" I could barely hear myself.

"I'm sorry honey but no...he doesn't. If he did he wouldn't be treating you like this." I blinked back tears so she wouldn't see them and then looked at my phone when it buzzed. It was Andrew. He told me he was bringing condoms. I texted back and told him we wouldn't need them. He texted back and told me I never knew. "Give me your phone." My mom demanded. I gave in and handed it to her, sinking down onto the ground, holding my knees to my chest.

"I hate this." I whispered. She didn't answer, to focused on typing an essay to him. "I want to break up with him...but I love him, you know?"

"Oh honey." She hit send and then sat down next to me.

"It would be so much easier if you could break up with him for me, you know? And I get it...I understand that I have to do things by myself but I just...I can't bring myself to do it."

"Are you scared of what he's going to do if you break up with him?" I nodded and rested my cheek on my knees, looking at her. She sighed and put her arm around my shoulders. "I broke up with you for him hon."

"What?" I lifted my head up.

"Well not technically. I just told him that you were grounded and you weren't allowed to have your phone for two months and that as your mother I forbid you from seeing him ever again."

"Oh." My heartbeat slowed down a bit.

"So...so he's not gonna try to contact me for at least two months so I have time to figure out how to officially break it off with him."

"Yeah. You do." She kissed my temple softly before pulling me into a hug. I started sobbing against her chest, so grateful to have her as a mom and have her looking out for me. "Shh baby, it's ok. I've got you, everything's ok."

"Thank you so much. You have no idea how much that means to me." I held her as tight as possible.

"Of course." She rubbed my back while kissing the top of my head every few seconds. "I just want to keep you safe." I sniffled and tilted my head up a bit to look at her through teary eyes. She wiped my tears away before kissing my forehead. "I'm always here for you."

"Thank you." My bottom lip trembled. I was practically shaking with gratitude and relief but it only came out through tears.

"Of course. You're my daughter, I'll always look out for you hon." She tucked my hair behind my ears before kissing my forehead again. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Adam x Lute - A Lieutenants Loyalty - Chapter 1

AO3 LINK

Chapter summary: The Exorcist Army recruits complete their graduation ceremony and Lute meets Adam for the first time.

Chapter preview: “’Grats on that, Lieutenant” He praised with a smirk, and another unexpected feeling hit the angel…a very different feeling, one she was equally not used to. Hearing her new title on his lips, it stirred a kind of pleasant warmth from within her. She enjoyed how it sounde….But it wasn’t to do with him! No, not in the slightest. She was just proud to hear her new title spoken into reality by her commander, that was it, nothing more. “Thank you, sir” She responded after gathering her composure.

It was Graduation Ceremony day. The recruit known simply as Recruit198 stood to attention, as did the other soldiers who were lined up along the wall of the grand hall, where they were soon to receive their angelic steel weapons.

Accepting this weapon would mean officially accepting the position of exorcist, it was an expression of their dedication and commitment to the cause – and one that 198 was thrilled to finally be making.

The recruits would also be blessed with a name today. Since their heavenly birth they had each been known only by a unique set of numbers. An exorcist had to earn their name. And earn her name Recruit198 had.

She’d been working her damn ass off for years; in her eyes, she wasn’t just here to be good—she was born for this, meant to be the best. For her, nothing less than perfect would do.

Her sisters in training were also all highly skilled individuals, she’d give them that. But none of them had ever seemed to go quite as hard as she did when it came to training and overall dedication to their cause.

They’d spend their days off relaxing, socialising, getting drunk at parties…all that pointless crap. But not 198, every moment that wasn’t spent either improving her strength, working on her technique, or resting her body between sessions was time wasted to her.

She was certain it was that relentless hard work and dedication that had earned 198 a prestigious position within the Exorcist Army—one she’d officially take on after graduating today.

The position of Lieutenant, to be exact.

The High Seraphim Sera had approached her tentatively a few weeks back with the proposition, claiming that the role had recently become vacant as the past lieutenant quit rather suddenly. And that despite still being just a recruit, 198 was by far her top choice.

198 had jumped at the opportunity, elated at the idea of having such a prestigious rank and the opportunity to lead and guide her exorcist sisters in training and in battle.

But being lieutenant wouldn’t just mean leading her sisters - it would also mean working directly under their commander, the first man himself - Adam.

None of the recruits had met him yet, and wouldn’t have ever had reason to until today, their graduation day.

That certainly hadn’t stopped her sisters from gossiping about him though Much to 198’s annoyance she’d heard far too many hushed whispers shared across the dorm rooms as the women gushed over him. His band, his impressive kill counts every year, his well-known reputation with women…

But for 198, any admiration she felt towards the commander was purely professional. The first man was an impressive and powerful figure, and of course being the leader of the Exorcist Army it was only natural she’d be in some level of awe of him.

However, she was chosen as lieutenant for a reason, and she intended to prove Sera right. Unlike her sisters, no silly infatuation existed nor ever would exist to get in the way of this opportunity.

She would admit she was a little apprehensive at the unknown of what working as the commander’s right hand might be like. But she was committed and dedicated to serving her new commander and the exorcist army to the utmost of her ability.

198 shifted a little in her spot against the wall, itching to move on to the next stage of the ceremony. They had already gone through the more boring, customary part.

It had involved one of the Seraphim reading from a golden scroll about the history and purpose of the Exorcist Army (as if 198 hadn’t already read every book, scroll and scripture on the topic, to the point she could recite it from memory).

But now it was officially time to receive their weapons, although, there was just one thing out of place…

The commander had failed to turn up on time.

Sera did a great job at stalling the ceremony as much as she could but 198 knew that technically the first man was supposed to have been here to greet the soldiers before the scroll had even been read.

She ALSO knew that while not technically necessary for the scroll reading, the first man’s presence was imperative for the next stage as it involved him blessing the recruits with their new names.

And so the Ceremony was on hold, waiting on him, and as far as 198 could tell – Sera was not only running out of stalling options, but also patience.

The High Seraphim glanced once more at the golden clock ticking away on the far side of the hall, eyebrow twitching in annoyance. The room had fallen into a settled silence as Sera could think of no more things to say to fill it.

And it was just then, as the silence was starting to turn uncomfortable, that the heavy double doors of the room were unceremoniously thrown open before an imposing figure strolled into the room through them.

198 had seen pictures of the first man before, and against her will, videos of his brand performing that her sisters had shoved in her face trying to get her onboard with their gushing. But nothing could’ve prepared her for his imposing size.

He looked even taller in person than the images gave him credit for, and despite his body being hidden beneath a large white embellished gown, she could tell he also possessed a broad and impressive build.

He predictably wore his iconic horned mask, the golden face upon it set in a smug, almost bored expression. His gaze remained unfocused, he hadn’t even looked towards the recruits yet, the very people who were here waiting on his presence.

Everything about him radiated arrogance…198 wasn’t sure what to make of it.

He absentmindedly sipped through the straw of a drink held in his gloved hand. The sound of his slurping echoed in the otherwise quiet hall, 198 was sure the twitching of Sera’s eyebrow intensified in response.

“Adam…it’s nice of you to join us finally…” Sera drawled, the annoyance at his poor punctuality dripping from her tone.

“…Even IF you’re 20 minutes behind schedule…” She added, a little quieter.

The man took a particularly excessive slurp through his straw which ended in a satisfied sigh.

“What can I say Sera, I’m just one guy, and a busy guy at that. Had super important shit to do today” The first man finally glanced up at the recruits lined up along the wall, golden eyes scanning across the line.

“Besides, I’m sure the ladies don’t mind, isn’t that right girls?” He shot a wink and mischievous grin in the direction of the recruits.

A chorus of subdued giggles erupted and 198 rolled her eyes, unintentionally matching the response that Sera had.

“Well, now that you’re here, we can proceed with the giving of the weapons and the blessing of names” Sera announced.

One of the other Seraphim moved to the start of the line of exorcists to begin and Adam tossed the cup aside before joining her.

One by one each recruit was blessed with a weapon from the Seraphim, she would create them for each person using her divine magic. Each weapon was unique to the individual.

Spears were the most common choice, but some exorcists opted for swords, throwing knives, and other similar weaponry. At the same time, each recruit would also be blessed with a name chosen by Adam then and there.

One thing that the books 198 had read DIDN’T prepare her for was the manner in which Adam was picking these names…

Based on what she knew from the books, the giving of an exorcist's name was just as holy and meaningful as the giving of their weapons. But based on what she could hear from her place in the line…Holy wasn’t the word she’d use to describe it…

“Mmmmmmm…you’ll beeeee…..” Adam tapped a singular finger against his chin as he stared down at the recruit, deep in thought. Then, he snapped his fingers as his eyes lit up.

“‘Deedee! After those double D’s babycakes, there’s no name more fitting in my divine eyes”

Adam placed his forearm up against the wall above the newly named exorcist’s head, leaning over her much smaller frame as he grinned down at her. Of course, ‘Deedee’s’ cheeks were positively glowing golden as she giggled and twirled a strand of hair around her finger.

An exasperated sigh came from the direction of High Seraphim Sera who sat with her chin in hand, eyes half lidded in irritation. She allowed him to continue though, it gave 198 the impression any attempts in the past to stop Adam from this kind of behaviour had probably been futile.

This continued on as Adam and the Seraphim giving the recruits their weapons made their way down the line.

A spear for ‘Vaggie’.

A set of throwing knives for ‘Tittany’.

A mace for ‘Thiccola’.

Some more lucky exorcists were receiving names that were less innuendo-esque, as it seemed Adam was running out of ideas.

198 had to admit she was impressed by how many he’d managed to crank out, assuming the other intakes of recruits got this same treatment she imagined the existing army already had a plethora of names that were references to tits, ass, and vaginas already circulating.

198 happened to be at the end of the line, meaning she would be the very last to receive her weapon and name.

After a few more minutes her turn was up, and the commander stepped in front of her.

She hadn’t expected to feel nervous, but for some reason an involuntary shiver trickled down her spine as she straightened her posture, ensuring she was perfectly stood to attention before him.

She kept her head level but flicked her eyes upwards to stare up at the mask of her commander, her expression flat and unreadable.

Many of her comrades had giggled, smirked, and struggled to contain their admiration when face to face with him for the first time. But not her.

The commander's expression, however, was one of amusement. He snorted.

“And you, babe, must be little miss 198 Sera has been banging on about, the brand-new Lieutenant hm?”

Adam asked, an almost teasing edge to his tone, and before 198 could respond he glanced over his shoulder in Sera’s direction seemingly seeking confirmation. The woman straightened in her seat with a smile, nodding gently and clasping her hands together.

Adam’s gaze came back to the recruit’s and he crossed his arms, stepping back and allowing the other Seraphim to first bless her with her weapon.

“Dear child of the heavenly-born soldiers, what weapon do you request” The Seraphim recited, the same line she’d recited for every other recruit before 198.

“A Sword, Your Highness”

198 responded without hesitation, it was an easy decision.

The Seraphim bowed her head in understanding and she raised both hands with her palms facing upwards, golden magic radiated from them, beginning at her fingertips and spreading like ocean waves across the space above her hands.

It stretched and morphed until the shape of a sword was formed, at which point the gold began to give way to glistening silver. A similar process was happening at the side of the recruit’s hip, and 198 glanced down to see what appeared to be a matching sheath forming and attaching to her belt.

The sword finished materialising and the gold of the magic faded, leaving behind the weapon laid upon the Seraphim’s palms. The sheath had also fully formed, simple and white, to match her belt.

The Seraphim held the sword out towards 198, and the recruit slid her hand gently into the handle of it, twisting it back and forth just once to admire the weapon before placing it in its sheath. The way it sat on her hip simply felt exquisite, like it had always been there.

“With the acceptance of this weapon, you hereby graduate to rank of Exorcist, and Lieutenant of the Exorcist Army” The Seraphim concluded and took a step back. 198 gave a final bow of her head.

From the corner of her eye she saw many of her exorcist sisters beaming at her gleefully, some giving her small respectful claps to celebrate the moment without breaking the ceremonial vibe.

Her sisters had all been elated for her when Sera broke the news of 198’s promotion to Lieutenant a few days bacl, practically jumping on her in excitement and insisting they go out and celebrate. 198 declined that offer respectfully, but regardless, it had caused a strange, warm feeling to bloom in her chest.

She of course cared for her sisters, they had all been with each other since their heavenly birth, training together, learning together, growing together.

But 198 had somewhat been an outcast of sorts by her own choosing. She was far more focused on her training than she was on things like friendship. So to feel so appreciated, supported…wanted. It was a scary kind of emotion that she couldn’t quite put a name to.

The commander stepped in front of her once more, pulling her from her thoughts and back to the present.

“’Grats on that, Lieutenant” He praised with a smirk, and another unexpected feeling hit the angel…a very different feeling, one she was equally not used to.

Hearing her new title on his lips, it stirred a kind of pleasant warmth from within her. She enjoyed how it sounded.

….But it wasn’t to do with him! No, not in the slightest. She was just proud to hear her new title spoken into reality by her commander, that was it, nothing more.

“Thank you, sir” She responded after gathering her composure.

The first man cracked his knuckles and flexed his arms out into a stretch.

“Weeeellp, right about time I gave you a name then 198”

‘God, please nothing related to my tits or ass’ she pleaded internally.

“Hmmm…What to name you” He mused out loud as he tapped his chin in thought with his gaze locked on hers.

“Never had a girl become Lieutenant before being named before…” He ruminated out loud, the admission made 198 feel proud.

“Lieutenant…Lieutenant…Lieut” The golden eyes of his mask lit up.

“Lute! How ‘bout that?” He beamed down at her and she found herself a little flustered, not expecting him to ask for her approval.

“I uh...Yes, sir, it’s perfect” She blurted out.

It wasn’t untrue, she was genuinely rather happy with that name. Far better than being named after female genitals, that was for sure.

“Just know that if you quit I’m taking that name back, would kinda fuck up the whole point of it -yknow” The commander added, and Lute nodded, containing the small smirk that threatened to play upon her lips.

She planned to be Lieutenant for the rest of eternity, there was no such thing as ‘quitting’ in her books - so he had nothing to worry about there.

“Fantastic” Sera clapped her hands together.

“With that, you may all make your way to your new allocated apartments and get yourselves settled in. Your duty begins tomorrow at-” Adam thrust himself in front of Sera, interrupting her entirely.

“That’s right bitches, 7am sharp, be late and you’ll be running fuckin’ laps until your newbie little legs give out. Until then, you’re all dismissed” 

A unified ‘Yes sir’ rang out from the group and Sera sighed, not bothering to correct Adam’s interruption.

The newly graduated exorcists began to make their way towards the exit, the Seraphim also departing with them.

Lute was the furthest from the grand double doors, putting her at the back of the group. But just as she moved to follow, a gloved hand shot out in front of her freezing her mid step.

“Hang on there, Lieutenant” Adam asserted, and Lute’s heart rate increased.

She couldn’t quite put a finger on why. It really wasn’t like her to get nervous, yet for the second time today her new commander had stirred that irksome feeling in her.

“Yes, sir?”

“You’re to be at my office at 6am tomorrow, got Lieutenanty things to go over before morning training starts”

“Understood, I’ll be there” Lute replied without hesitation. Adam snorted just like he had done earlier.

“Jesus, Sera wasn’t exaggerating. You’re like, totally all serious and shit babe” He snickered.

He slung an arm around her shoulders, taking her by complete surprise, and began steering her towards the exit, arm still in place as they walked.

Lute’s entire body went rigid as stone, she wasn’t used to being touched at all – let alone in such an intimate manner by her brand-new superior.

His frame dwarfed hers, her head barely coming up to the centre of his chest. She was practically perfect armrest height, which was ironic given her current position tucked under his bicep against her will.

“One thing that you’re gonna learn working with me - I’m a pretty chill guy. Like, don’t get me wrong or anything, I don’t put up with any of my ladies slacking off or not pulling their weight-“

Lute noticed that he was a very animated talker, waving his free hand theatrically as he drawled on.

“-But as long as my girls are keeping up with their training and getting sick sinner kill counts each year, I’m chill!”

Lute, still rigid, nodded. She wasn’t too sure where he was going with this.

They were approaching the double doors as Adam continued.

“Just make sure you can get on my wavelength is all I’m saying, y’know? The last Lieutenant…Ugh, she was SUCH a fucking bore. Wayyyy too serious and just couldn’t vibe with me, she seriously had NO chill”

“Adam-” Adam jumped ridiculously hard at Sera’s voice, unintentionally launching Lute face-first onto the floor. Luckily, thanks to her incredible reaction time, she caught herself on her hands narrowly avoiding losing a few teeth to the pristine marble beneath her palms.

The Seraphim who had been standing on the other side of the doorframe, unbeknown to the pair, gasped.

“Adam!” She repeated, this time in a scolding tone, her eyebrows furrowed in worry for the exorcist sprawled out on the floor at her feet.

“SHIT- Sera, I swear to fuck you’re always sneaking up on me like that” He complained while reaching down, wrapping a large hand around Lute’s upper arm and manhandling her back up to her feet before she could push herself back up.

“Sorry babe! Nearly sent you through the floor straight to Hell, HAH!” Adam brushed some dust off of Lute’s shoulder.

She could do nothing more than stand there in a daze, the way he’d picked her back up like she weighed no more than a singular feather had made her face heat up, a blush threatening to blossom. God damn it, get it together – she scolded herself internally. This was panning out to be a weird day for her.

“Don’t you think it’s quite too soon to be lecturing your new Lieutenant already?” Sera questioned, clearly having heard him rambling to Lute.

“Pfft, I was just telling her how I kick it back, isn’t that right, Lute?” He elbowed her.

He’d also used her new name for the first time since bestowing it upon her. She liked how it sounded, almost as much as her full title hand sounded coming from him.

“I-“ Lute barely got a word out before Sera spoke, a newfound seriousness in her tone.

“The whole point of having a Lieutenant, Adam, is to have someone to assist you in running the Exorcist army to its full potential. She is not supposed to be someone to ‘kick it back with’. I do not want what happened with the last few Lieutenants happening with this one”

Lute’s ears pricked up at that. What happened with the last ‘few’ Lieutenants, she wondered, a slight tinge of worry in the pit of her stomach. How many had come before her? Why had multiple given up the role?

“ALRIGHT Sera, don’t get your panties in a twist, jeez”

Lute still hadn’t quite gotten used to the vulgar and consequence-less manner in which Adam spoke to the High Seraphim.

Sera seemed to begrudgingly tolerate his attitude to some extent, although the way she’d warned him about the whole ‘past Lieutenants’ thing had been in the most serious tone Lute had seen the woman take with the first man so far.

Lute thought back to how Adam had described his most recent Lieutenant.

‘Boring’, ‘too serious’, had ‘no chill’…that sounded an awful lot like Lute. The realisation only worsened the pit in the angel’s stomach.

“Annnnnyways hot-stuff” He directed his golden gaze back down to Lute.

“I’ve gotta shoot. Got a gig to get to” Adam winked at her and the tips of his golden wings ghosted across her face as he brushed past her. She shivered involuntarily and had to subdue a sneeze after the fibres of his feathers had tickled her nose.

The man turned to face both Sera and Lute and began walking backwards.

“Catch ya tomorrow, Lieutenant” He raised his right hand, snapping his fingers and shooting the pair a finger gun, simultaneously summoning a portal behind himself as he did so.

And just like that he backed into the portal and it closed.

Lute felt like she let out a breath she hadn’t been aware she was holding.

There was a brief silence, but a question that burned at the forefront of Lute’s mind drove her to quickly break it.

“What happened to his past Lieutenants” She quizzed Sera. The Seraphim let out a soft sigh, expecting this line of questioning to come.

“Well…” She paused thoughtfully, searching for the right words.

“Adam is quite the character. He can be stubborn and narrow-sighted at times” Sera smoothed a lock of hair back and continued.

“He seems to find a way to disagree with everything every lieutenant does, thinks, says...to the point most of the girls just gave up with him and abandoned their position as lieutenant”

Sera’s eyes flicked off to the side in thought and she sighed frustratedly.

“Sometime it feels like he does it on purpose, driving them to quit just to prove a point” She adds, quietly, almost as if just to herself. Her eyes met Lute’s again.

“Adam can just be…well…he is sometimes…” The Seraphim struggled for the right word.

“Overbearing? Rude? Kind of annoying?” Lute offered a few options with a deadpan expression, and Sera chuckled heartily.

“See, this – my child – is one of the many reasons you were my top choice for Lieutenant. You say things as they are, with a bold mind and a strong heart. You possess the qualities that I feel it takes to be the right hand of a man like Adam”

The angel nodded in understanding, the challenge ahead now clear. From what Lute had witnessed today, she now knew Adam was rather childish, and by his own definition, ‘chill’.

Running an army was not a ‘chill’ endeavour by any means, and so she could foresee the crossroads herself and her commander might encounter, the very same that likely strained his past Lieutenant’s patience to breaking point.

But Lute wasn’t one to break.

“I am sure I can handle him, ma’am” Lute confirmed, earning a smile from Sera.

“I’m sure you can too, Lute. I’ll check in with you later in the week to see how things have been going, until then, go ahead and get yourself settled into your new apartment, child”

Lute gave the Seraphim one final polite bow which Sera returned, and began to make her way out of the Ceremonial building. 

There was a whole lot to think about. But right now all Lute wanted to do was find her new home and plan her day tomorrow. Then she’d tuck into bed, probably around 9pm for a nice and early night so that she was well rested for her first day of service.

While still recruits, she and her sisters had lived in shared dorm rooms which had allowed for little personal space and practically no privacy. But now that they had officially graduated as exorcists they were each assigned their own entire apartment.

The upgrade was huge, and a welcome one at that. Lute relished in the idea of having her own space at last.

She found her apartment with ease on the third floor of the apartment building, fishing out the key she’d been given and letting herself inside.

It was plain and simple, but had more than what was needed. A kitchen, a living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom. She even had a balcony with a fairly pleasant view of the glistening Heavenly city below.

She also happened to be able to spot her new primary workplace from here, the tips of the spectacular building peaking out over the tops of the other buildings around it, a little way off in the distance but not far at all.

It was the building in which the majority of Heavenly dealings took place, called the Great Seraphim Hall. Many Seraphim and other higher-up angelic beings congregated there to hold meetings on the running of their heavenly realm.

She’d only been in it once before as part of her learning about all the ins and outs of Heaven when she was a very young recruit.

The place was a maze of hallways lined with offices and meeting rooms, it was naturally where Sera and Adam’s offices were. It was also where their exorcist training halls were located, in which the soldiers would exercise, train, and work between each yearly extermination.

She thought about her day tomorrow. Adam’s office at 6am, training begins at 7am…that was sort of all she knew so far. She wasn’t a fan of the unknown, regimented lists were more her style.

But it was going to be day 1, a little bit of settling in was expected. It would be fine and she was sure her first day as Lieutenant would go smoothly. Even with the wild card that was Adam looming and threatening to throw her completely off balance.

I LOOOOOVE ADVENT NEON!!!

Seriously, it's an amazing game, it's honestly my most anticipated game at the moment, I can't wait to play it!!!!

Apparently the game's coming out soon so i hope it comes out like a month after deltarune so i can afford it lol

I speedran it.

I made a server for it

I... Attempted to draw it (Not that good because it's my first time drawing Neon and i'm trying to adapt them to the Pizza Tower style here)

I modded it (Couldn't embed the video, took too long to load, it was about half of John Gutter from Pizza Tower added to the game replacing the 1st level)

I even isolated some of the character art because there aren't any official renders of the characters.

I'm also currently working on a video about the game, which is the reason why i made THESE:

These are kinda old by this point so I may remake them though

I honestly just absolutely love Advent NEON! I hope anyone who reads this post ends up playing it because it's AMAZING!

Here's the game on steam so YOU can wishlist it, download the demo, and eventually buy it hopefully!

So hiding my phone in a dark place from myself was fun umm

So the thing about insanity

If I was,

How could I expect anybody to both understand me and also still instill trust in me.

That doesn't exist while we starve people over a gamble about the minimum wage and the maximum wager on a human life.

How could I trust anybody outside of fucking Pyongyang or Gaza.

I officially don't feel safe unless there's a nuke aimed at me.

Mutually Assured Destruction.

Grats u salty saffa cunt
