#hes probably one of the most fun to draw..

[sl3epyaf]

What if you drew them? The kings + Foras and Belial (and Jiyu)

Okay so imagine you were drawing and one of them pass you by (or someone tells them that you drew them)-

Headcanon time chat

That's pretty much it <3

He's probably either half asleep or Beleth is carrying him so he doesn't actually know- well until someone tells him and even then i'm 99% sure it goes in one ear and out the other

He probably wouldn't understand why you'd waste your time when you could be sleeping but hey it looks cool so Belphegor will ask Beleth to hang it somewhere in his room or make copies of it-

Honestly if you're disappointed at the lack of reaction that's totally on you.

Beleth will thank you in Belphegor's place,

Beleth might even commission you to do some artwork for Niflheim.

And maybe if he has the energy to Belphegor might commission you (more like tell Beleth what he wants and then having Beleth go to you..) Beleth will take care of the payment and other troublesome matter that might come with it.

Belphegor might ask Beleth to bring him to where you are so he can sleep in the same room as you- (which may or may not be an attempt at making you sleepy and go to sleep with him)

He's gonna be one happy mf. Like actually- he'll also 100% praise you for the skill you have (even if it's just a stick figure of him-)

The drawing is gonna get hung somewhere where almost everyone can see it, honestly it might even become a tourist attraction for Tartaros

Of course Bimet will charge people tons for it- so make sure you get your share from him- 90% for you and 10% for him. Maybe 15% if Bimet's good.

You're gonna get TONS of commissions afterwards- everybody wants a drawing from the descendant of Solomon- you're gonna be swimming in money 100%

Not to mention Mammon would also pay you for some drawings to make the Tartaros castle seem more lively- (ignoring the fact that he spoils you already-)

He'll eat the drawing-

Jokes aside he was probably there when you were drawing- Beelzebub LOVES to be around you sooo- and if he can't be there then there's gonna be this small annoying fly buzzing around you making you want to smack it under your sketchbook/drawing device-

When he's able to Beelzebub will give you TONS of hugs- and kisses and nibbles on your shoulders as a thank you.

If he wants something commissioned from you he'll have Bael deal with the annoying parts because there's a chance he'll forget to pay you- or well anything related to that sort of stuff.

Bael doesn't even curse him out for this because he also likes your drawings.

Beel will make fun of you if you draw him as a stick figure but he still loves the drawing anyway.

Lord have mercy on your soul-

Another mf who's going to be HAPPY about you drawing him- If you draw him as a stick figure it's 100% going to remind him of the time when his kids also did that- but either way Asmodeus loves your drawing.

Depending on your skill he might ask you to draw some NSFW stuff- but rest assured you'll be compensated! .. Not in money though normally but that can also be arranged if you really want/need it-

Asmodeus will hang your drawing somewhere in Abaddon where he can see it often, so most likely in his room-

On the outside Leviathan will give you a simple nod- on the inside though? He's happy to some decree

Obviously since Leviathan has Foras keep an eye on you almost 24/7 he knew about the drawing

And of course he asked Foras to make sure you were only drawing him- he'll hang you if he hears that you've drawn any other kings or hell- any devils in general.

Also you better not be drawing him as a stick figure- he'll hang you for that too. He's more beautiful than a mere stick figure and you better know that too-

But also on the other side if you draw him too well he'll get jealous of that drawing- and your skills which once again might end up with him hanging you for a bit-

Leviathan will keep your drawings to himself- he doesn't want to share and even the thought gets him extremely jealous which might end up with him hanging you for a bit- so choke him later for that before he can hang you

Yet another very happy devil

Lucifer would assume that people would rather draw him as an angel than with horns so when he saw you draw him/heard of your drawing from Gamigin he was happy.

Lucifer will hang your drawing in his office 100% and in the future will commission you if he needs/wants a specific drawing somewhere in Paradise Lost.

If you drew him as a stick figure you'd earn a small laugh from him but he'll appreciate the drawing anyway

If you're drawing for the Paradise Lost patients then he'll be even more happy!

When he first found out from Sitri that you were drawing him Satan punched a hole in the wall, and after that? He's breaking your door open because he's coming to check up on you

He's also a very very happy devil but this is Satan we're talking about- something's getting broken one way or another.

Your drawing might also become a tourist attraction in Gehenna just like Tartaros- but Gehenna doesn't have Bimet trying to demand money for YOUR drawing- it's more of a 'pay if you like it'.

But of course Gehenna devils will like it so they're 100% going to commission you- and then get their asses kicked by Satan because he wants to spend time with you but can't because of how busy you are.

It wouldn't be shocking if someone commissioned you to draw them getting their ass kicked by Satan-

You're going to have two happy devils with you- well unless you forgot Jiyu in your drawing- that small gremlin is gonna be angry as hell and will curse you out for it.

Of course if you drew Jiyu he's going to be very happy and will not curse you out for a week minimum-

Belial of course is going to be happy either way- he never imagined that you'd be willing to draw him.

He'll make sure to thank you for it without Jiyu cursing you out at the end of his sentences- you don't deserve that.

He's with you almost 24/7. Of course Foras knew about you drawing him but that doesn't make him any less happy.

Of course he's seen you make progress on it- hell Foras has even showed himself a few times just so you can get a better look at his features to help with your drawing.

Like Leviathan he doesn't share your drawing with anyone- he doesn't want to.

Expect to get a few kisses on your body from 'nothing'- Foras is just showing his appreciation for you and how happy he is from you drawing him

OC in the Ballroom

Thanks for the tag @mythals-whore and @glitteringdust!

I was so excited to be tagged in this, because I already had plans to draw a fancy outfit for Davrin, and now it gave me an excuse to draw an outfit for Tamryn too ehehe. Anyway, here we go!

Clothing

What’s your OC’s go-to aesthetic for a ball? Is it consistent or varied? What’s their goal behind this? Are they just trying to fit in, to distract, to mislead?

Alright, so first off, Tamryn does not enjoy this lol. He’s not one for fancy clothes or events, so when the Veilguard has to show up for some official ball (maybe in Minrathous?), he’s at a loss on what to wear. Luckily, this is where Neve, Lucanis and Emmrich step in. They give him (and the others too) a crash course in ballroom dancing and how to navigate nobles. They also help Tamryn choose colors for his outfit (green always looks good on him) and make sure he wears something that is stylish enough, but still relatively comfortable. There’s no goal behind it, other than making sure he fits in with the events aesthetic. And, just before Tamryn enters the event, Neve drags him aside to put his hair up, refusing to let him go in with his usual unruly mop of hair XD

(Continued under the cut)

Dancing

What’s their opinion on dancing? Do they have a favorite type of dance?

Hmmm Tamryn has no strong opinion on dancing. He doesn’t hate it, also doesn’t necessarily enjoy it. He just almost never does it. He probably grew up with a few Dalish dances, but they’re a far cry from the type of dancing they do at balls. When Lucanis tries to teach him, he tells Tamryn to compare it to sparring, the way he needs to mind his footwork and form. I wouldn’t say he’s bad at it, but he definitely steps on a few toes haha.

During the event, I can see him being forced to dance with various nobles, which he’ll do because he has to, not because he enjoys it. Until Davrin steps in and asks him for a dance, all charming and smooth. And after a brief moment of ‘oh shit, are we doing this publicly then?’ Tamryn accepts. Once he gets over his nervousness, I think he actually revels in the attention it gets them, enjoying the murmurs it causes when he pulls in Davrin for a chaste kiss during a slow song. That’s when he really starts to enjoy himself. Letting Davrin lead, because he’s the better dancer, whispering at each other as they move across the dance floor. Cheeks flushed and plenty of giggling as they share gossip about the nobles.

Location

Where are you most likely to find your OC during a ball? Balcony? Bar? Spying behind privacy screens?

Tamryn would probably sort of hover along the sides of the main hall. Not really hiding, but not making too much effort to mingle unless he has too. He’s a bit of a lightweight when it comes to alcohol, so he’d nurse a drink for a while, taking it slow. He would definitely have fun people watching with Neve and Bellara, trying to guess things about the guests. Once the alcohol has loosened him up a bit, he doesn’t mind dancing with Davrin either, though he would also escape to a balcony or other outer area once in a while to get some fresh air.

Passing this along to @tkwritesdumbassassins @redhairedmuses @larkinna @flowersforthemachines @letitrainathousandflames @rookanisstuff and @thatgaymerguyb. I have no idea who else has already done this or not, so if you see this and want to do it, consider yourself tagged :)

[croquettish]

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but for all the deep dives you tend to do for characters (which is nice) I do feel like you've misunderstood Hynek somewhat.

I agree with the physical looks part, he does have a prominent and vocal way of dealing with that.

However, I think it's very innocent and misguided to think that he's poking fun at Henry/Rosa/Katherine for personal insecurity reasons. He's glaringly obviously presented as quite a crass person with the same type of humor. He's also a robber baron, men who could be notoriously out of touch with civilization for the lack of better word lol.

What I'm trying to say is that Hynek is crass and a pervert. He doesn't seems too hung up about his looks outside of his jokes. But the jokes about women/sex? Sorry but I think that's just him being a man rather than a coping mechanism. He can be nuanced but he's also just a man.

You know, I almost wasn't going to respond to this on account of how it's worded, in part because I don't like making a habit of arguing with people on my tumblr and I generally try to avoid negativity overall. I've previously ignored asks that were rude to me or other anons but this one to me felt more... well-intentioned. Maybe I'm wrong to assume that. But I'd also hate to make people think I only ever post asks I agree with and ignore the ones that disagree with me.

So here's the thing. I would never ever presume to tell anyone else how to feel about a given character. I do not consider myself some kind of authority on these characters or any others. All I have is what we all have: the text. Granted, I also have the devnotes to pull from, but I do my best to share those with everyone so they can draw their own conclusions.

Along the same lines, I don't really condone other people saying "this is the correct way to interpret a character, and all other interpretations are wrong." As a friend of mine said when I discussed this ask with them, this sort of stance is anti-fandom and generally conducive only to shutting down analysis as a whole. Personally I find this to be really sad honestly. We've been given such a fantastic game with so many fascinating characters and plot beats that people like me can't help but want to pry into the depths of these different elements to see if there's more lurking beneath the surface. If I'm presenting with a canon that grants us interesting characters, I'd so much rather think "they probably gave this character depth!" than just assume that the writers decided to keep their characters as one-dimensional as possible.

I'll be honest, this is one thing that did briefly make me wonder if maybe you'd gotten lost on your way to my blog, given that I'm literally the person probably most inclined to overanalyzing everything I can get my grubby little hands on (and this is far from an exhaustive list).

But let's look more closely at Dry Devil in particular, since you seem utterly convinced that he's the only one-dimensional character in this whole canon.

He references his appearance often enough that it strikes me as intentional (and generally does so by joking about it). This seems indicative of something about his character! If you're not new here, you'll recall that intent generally matters when we analyze fiction. These writers made a conscious decision to include these lines.

Characters, much like people, are generally multifaceted. I'd even argue that characters can be multifaceted in much more logical ways than people at times, precisely because they are written in ways to suggest things about those characters. In line with that, he can be both a crass robber baron and feel insecure. We don't have to pick and choose one or the other here. If anything, one might inform the other in some way!

Being a man and thus having the leeway to be crass because of it is likewise not mutually exclusive with insecurity. If anything, it would allow him the space to deal with that insecurity "safely" without judgment. Much like how he will literally draw attention to Henry kicking his ass in the fight over the fate of Maleshov in order to dispel the awkwardness and tension. A woman would not necessarily have been given the space to do so at this time (or even now, let's be real here).

You can disagree with me. I'm certainly not here to take that right away from you! But I do think it's kind of rude for you to come into my ask just to say "it's not that deep, bro." Canon, especially a multifaceted canon like this one, has room for multiple interpretations to coexist peaceably. So you can view Dry Devil as crass and dismissive just because he's a wealthy robber baron, or you can think he's that way because of deep-seated insecurities. Neither of us here is wrong, we're just looking at the text differently.

As a general rule, richer characters make for more interesting ones. I'm not sure why you're insisting that the shallowest interpretation of his character has to be the correct one. You might be correct! I'm not here to tell you that you're wrong. It's entirely possible that I'm reading into things too much. But that doesn't make me wrong and you right by default. Until Warhorse comes out and says "this is who Dry Devil is at his core," both of us are equally correct in our assumptions (call that Schrödinger's characterization).

They obviously won't do that since they benefit from us enjoying multiple interpretations, but honestly? Even Word of God can be taken with a grain of salt. As a writer I can tell you right now that my beloved beta has in several instances pointed out moments in my writing where things happen to fit just right in ways I didn't even realize. Was it intentional? Maybe not. But it still worked out that way and it fits well enough that... who am I to deny that my subconscious might have influenced things?

‼️ SPOILERS FOR PAST LIFE EPISODE 3 ARE UP AHEAD ‼️

So, I was watching the newest Past Life episode and started thinking about the Watchers again, cause like. That whole Secret Society thing? There is NO WAY the fandom is going to let this slide as just a twist. O no no no, this is Watcher territory now! Heh. I love Watchers a lot, the whole idea behind it is so fascinating to me. I love thinking of what they could be and what not. In the end, I started thinking…… Thinking a lot……….

I’m pretty sure like most of the fandom is into the whole ‘ Watchers are bad!! ‘ thing, right? They’re evil, they feed off of hatred and chaos, they destroy servers, all that good stuff. And to top it off, they forcedly turned Grian into one of them, and ever since then, we just went with the whole idea of he hates being one of them. BUT!!! Gang….. What if.. he’s.. y’know……. fine with being a Watcher? Oh yeah, maybe not the whole “ destroying “ servers thing. And making people hate each other just for fun. But like, knowing Grian, a devious evil man. He’d probably see more pros than cons in this. It just gives him more ways to mess with people. He can just, reject the Watchers themselves, but he prolly enjoys the benefits that comes with being a Watcher and doesn’t regret trusting them which in turn got him turned into one.

I got something else to share too,,, heh. I started thinking about the Watchers altogether, like in general. And then it hit me. One single quote Grian once said all the way back in EVO times: ‘ You are the voices in our head watching us. ‘ I repeat, ‘ The voices in our head Watching us. ‘ Gang, we, as in the viewers, might be referred to as the Watchers…. WE ARE THE WATCHERS……… I MEAN LIKE, think about it. The average Life series viewer is into angst. Angst contains what? That’s right! Chaos, hatred, fear, all of that good stuff! What do watchers feed off of? All of the things listed……. And let’s be honest here, we all feed off of the angst the life series gives us. We LOVE the chaos it gives us. We LOVE the angst it forms between people. WE ARE THE WATCHERS ‼️💥💥💥 IT’S CANON!!!! NO ONE’S CHANGING MY MIND

Anyway, that’s it heh. I made this drawing quite fast ngl

SONG — Placing The Blame • Self

[sunday-offical]

Recently got like a thousand notes on an AU idea which is INSANE because most of the time my AU ideas are actual nonsense. Example:

For the last like three days all I’ve been able to do is listen to Fifteen Minutes by Sabrina Carpenter because I came up with this Steddie AU where Eddie is a streamer and a well-known guitarist who like guest-guitars (is that a thing?) for major artists once word gets out that he’s hugely popular on the internet and also basically a prodigy. One of those artists is Sabrina Carpenter at some point (she arrests him during the show, he get’s on stage. I’m not sure she even has a band on stage during her concerts—if not he’s just ripping some solos and shit along with her normal music whatever, we’re just having fun here).

Despite having a very public life, Eddie has one VERY well-kept secret, and that’s “Princess.”

Eddie’s fans/fandom knows he has a partner, but the only indication is every once in a while, a knock will sound at the door of his office while he’s streaming, and he’ll say— “Just one second, Princess!” or something like that, and literally shut down the stream to talk to her. People have no clue what she looks like, sounds like, nothing. Eddie doesn’t even post about her really, other than the occasional mention of a significant other in his videos or collabs. She’s quite literally a ghost.

Of course, that doesn’t stop the fans from speculating, and because of “Princess” everyone assumes it’s some girl. They do the whole bit—conspiracy boards connecting Eddie to other influencers, digging through his high school yearbooks to find girls who MIGHT fit the bill, arguing over what he’s probably attracted to, etc. Like, there’s people drawing fanart of Eddie with women, which his friends give him absolute hell for because he’s the gayest man on earth.

Obviously, nobody comes within a hundred miles of the actual answer.

Then, one day, Sabrina randomly hits up Eddie with this idea for a music video for 15 Minutes that’s Cinderella themed (that song NEEDS a goofy Cinderella themed video just listen to it omg) and she’s like “I want you to be my prince” and Eddie’s like “Hold up, do you want this thing to go viral or go viral?” and of course Sabrina is down to clown.

Eddie and Steve have been ready to go public for a while. Eddie just wanted to do it in the most dramatic way possible and what’s more dramatic than making his babygirl boyfriend star in a Sabrina Carpenter music video?

So Eddie’s the prince, Steve’s Cinderella, and Sabrina’s the fairy godmother. It’s very loose fantasy, like they’ve got completely modern technology and fashion going on, and it’s just pure, unadulterated fun. Of course Sabrina starts it out, then notices Steve not going to the ball and they do a makeover montage, then the ball is more like a club (of course Rob and Nancy and Chrissy are all involved, other “princesses” trying to win Eddie’s affection despite his obvious disinterest, which is poking fun at everybody assuming he’s straight hehe), Steve and Eddie dance and make out, the whole midnight bit happens, there’s a funny montage of the girls trying on his shoe (it’s like a DUDE’S shoe, and they’re still fucking trying) until finally happily ever after, Eddie puts a tiara on Steve, princess reveal!

The internet loses it’s fucking shit, the end.

But yeah anyway my ideas are generally music-fueled nonsense and I can’t BELIEVE I had a thought coherent enough to get a thousand notes, Jesus Christ.

[kokii-omii]

I got inspired so I wanna share my friendship hcs between Viri and Orion bc no one can’t stop me hehehe 🤭

— Since Orion isn’t really let go that free by cyrus at the beginning of the school year, my idea is that they met at the mostro lounge one time cyrus brought his brother to meet the lounge and also because he has some things to discuss with Azul, Orion drawing in his diary what he sees and ends up spotting Viri and ends up drawing him so he gives it to him.

— At the beginning I feel Viri would think Orion might be annoying due the bubbly and naive personality he has but then he hears his difficulties w his overprotective gaslighter brother and they end up bonding and complaining about their older brothers 💔

— Since both paint I feel the two would be the ones starting a small art club in between them (later adding sad cat Tristan); Imagine the difference in art styles in between, one very gorgeous and realistic other very colorful and more imaginative.

— Viridis would probably the only friend cyrus might approve that isn’t from Pomefiore, allowing Orion to have Sleepovers in his room with him, but probably also inviting the whole deal (the manta twins and Leo) (all three get cute-fied)

— Viri would definitely question his picks on why Orion like Jack after he literally barged into his room in the middle of the night but at the same will keep quiet bc it’s either walking furry green flag or Ace..

— Orion would definitely ship him so hard w kalim and stay so quiet like he doesn’t want to make him feel uncomfortable or something but he doesn’t go and spy or them, simply just hears it.

— There has to be at least one time they went swimming 🙏 like Mr.”Long magical hair” won’t swim unless a friend helps him (because idk if there’s even Lessons for it in the school and if there then ehh..

— Both would probably exchange art of the other.

— Not always but maybe from time to time when they can sit at lunch together.

And most importantly

I bet the first few times they met Orion always had a frying on hand in case Viri did something 😭

So probably Viri got good in preventing that tp the point he isn’t cared of THE cast iron frying pan

(Unlike azul who is terrified of it after he saw Orion’s dream in book 7 oopsie) (That dream is so dark)

This is a bit of a spoiler of the overblot story of cyrus so I’m gonna but

— I do believe maybe Viri will try the best to distract him of the traumatic experience of almost losing both his love and his brother, but also maybe sharing his own experiences, not as a comparison but so Orion sympathizes a bit instead of being all sad and moody.

This are all I have right now I hope I get more ideas soon, and hope u like them and i hope they’re good enough to be like believable unless i mis characterize something 🙏 And really hope they’re can be true real friends canon because I BEEN GATEKEEPINGNTHESE SINCE MAY 😭💔

either they frolic in the fields while holding hands or they got the nastiest beef ever

rip viri cuz he's not surviving getting hit in the head with a cast iron pan

i feel like they'd do one of those "exchanging canvases every 5 minutes" art challenge thingies while they're having lunch together

they're also giving that one incorrect quote "someone will die.." "of fun!! :D"
