Ranking every manhwa villainess and white lotus I could find.

Keep in mind these are all opinion based.

#22: At the very bottom of the list is Sumin Jeong from Marry my husband

Now, like almost everyone else on this list, Sumin is kept a level that is below the FL Jiwon so she can never best the hero. However unlike the others here, Sumin has not once been shown to be anything other than a dumb and evil bimbo who talks like elmo even before Jiwon regressed, her reasons for wanting everything Jiwon has make no sense and she has no flavor to her, no backstory that makes sense, no real charm since it's lost as soon as possible, all she has going for her is a distinct design.

#21: Charlotte-the villainess maker

Honestly, Charlotte is about as forgettable as the comic she's from. She doesn't do much, just basic bland white lotus tropes over and over. She is portrayed as a sweet heart but she's secretly a jealous vindictive mean girl, she loses everything to the FL because she's too basic for the not-like-other-girls readers, nothing really revolutionary about her, but this could be chalked up to the story shes from canonically being an abysmal mess written by the FL when she was 14, Sorry Charlotte.

#20: Iris Van Conrad-Today the villainess has fun again.

A step up from Sumin when it comes to backstories, still not the greatest but it makes a little more sense. She's more passive aggressive since her actual plots are destoryed in nanoseconds by the plot, she gets dunked on so much I wonder if she's supposed to the Villainess or a discount Meg Griffin. Considering the fact to that Reilynn is pedo coded, Iris is less of the two evils.

#19: Aisha Selir-divorcing my tyrant husband.

Shes okay, But like Charlotte, Aisha isn't very noteworthy, as usual, any attempts she makes to best or outsmart Robelia are met with utter failure, she could be something really great if she were just allowed to make a mark on the plot. Like actually have Alexandros take responsibility instead of blaming her for her existence. Her design before the art shift was pretty enough and I'm pretty sure she's being possessed by a vindictive soul so that might explain why Aisha suddenly became a villain when she's described as being dainty, sweet, and a general damsel and saintess in the story within DMTH.

18: Fonta Magnus:the tyrants only perfumer

Fonta is the type of antagonist that would be adored as a isekaied protagonist. She doesn't really do much though since she gets defeated over and over with the same plan of copying Ariels ideas (how original, no pun intended) I like her though just because her design reminds me of cartoon goth girls, specially Gwen from total drama island.

#17: Benela Verdi- the princesses jewels

I don't care if she seduced Ariannas father or killed her brother, Arianna was out there acting like she wouldn't do the same just to get with a sexy man. Benela may suffer from the same problems every other villainess does but if ranked them based on that then almost all of them would be on the bottom. This image of her drinking her stress away is accurate to how I felt reading this one.

#16: Claudine von Brandt-Cry or better yet beg

I absolutely adore Claudine and she's not really a villain but unfortunately the narrative says she's a so she'll have to count. It's why she's this low since she's just a woman who gets in the way of the main ship

As you can probably guess, her only crimes are being condescending to Layla and valuing superficial values such as wealth and status, crimes that somehow make her worse than Matthias in the narratives eyes. Justice for my girl Claudine ✊️

now we are moving up to the middle tier

#15: Diana-for my derelict favorite

This girl has more protagonist material then Hestia ever will. Sorry but Hestias entire thing is just being a rich girlboss, simping for Cael and damning any woman who broke his heart including Diana, who is the saintess that opposes murder, Wow! Who would have guessed that the saintess woman wouldn't endorse literal murder! Could she have communicated better? Yes, was she always in the right? Hell no. But she's got more character in her pinky toe then everyone else in their entire bodies to I salute to her.

#14: Irene/Aileen Hascator- I didn't mean to seduce the male lead

I have a weird relationship with her. One minute I'm impressed because she actually does manipulation pretty well at first with making the lives of those who won't swear loyalty her unbearable in very smart ways, she'll buy all her friends expensive dresses so she can stand out in a simpler one, she'll defend the black sheep and make her into her friend to keep up her sweetheart facade, unfortunately it's all so she can get with a boy where she goes nuts on anyone who gets near him.

#13: Freya van Furiana- how to get my husband on my side

I really loved this manhwa, almost all of the characters are complex and 3 dimensional with a great commentary on abuse, ED, and family dynamics, with that said I was a little disappointed seeing Freya as another basic white lotus who only wants Izek for herself, it won't take much even a little more character traits would help because Freya isn't just some random girl who became the ogfl, she was the childhood friend of Izek and Ellen, so we should've gotten to see a little more too her then what we got

#12: Mielle Roscente- the villainess turns the hourglass.

Beautiful design, basic but rather solid goals, a charming personality, Mielle has all of that in the bag. She secretly wants Aria and her mother out of her life since they aren't of noble blood (before the terrible Arias a noble plot twist) and she's really entertaining. However I'll never understand how she managed to destroy Aria in the first timeline if she's such an idiot now. The first timeline also takes the blame off of Arias shitty actions with "Mielle tricked her into being evil!" It ruins the charm since Aria, as a villainess should be allowed to suffer the consequences while not wanting to quit.. since you know, she's not meant to be a good person.

#11: Isabella de Mare-sister I am the queen in this life

NOT YOU!

THIS is the Isabella I'm talking about

Absolute genius, she knows that Ceasre is a bastard and not just in the literal sense, she doesn't even love him and just wants that sweet sweet power and wealth. Fooled Ariande for years that she was on her side and as a bonus she can easily say she wanted revenge for Alfonso to the public if they ever found out she was behind it all. But the best part about first timeline Isabella is her villain monolog that women mean nothing to men, putting your life in their hands is a fatal mistake and if you want to make it to the top, you gotta crush the opponents. But alas we never see this version of Isabella after Ariande goes back in time

Higher tier now, the best of the best who managed to make it this far

#10: Rhyse/Lise Sinclair- not your typical reincarnation story

Yeah shes technically being controlled by the author or hell maybe she is the author I have yet to finish this one but for once we get a comic that doesn't immediately pit two women against eachother and actually gives a solid reason for her to be at odds with Edith. When something doesn't go her way, Rhyse doesn't throw a fit and turn on the water works no no no. She stands there, awkwardly, almost like the real Rhyse is wondering why she feels so jealous and angry with Edith for stealing the spotlight. She's incredibly ominous too when that purple mist surrounds her to force the other characters back into place. All while she's making friends with Edith in a possibly geninue friendship.

#9: Isis Frederick- the villainess reverses the hourglass

I'm pretty sure most of us can agree she's the real villain of TVRTHG since she basically started and encouraged the whole operation to begin with from afar, the puppeteer if you will. Killer design, a great fear factor and an evil sister done better. Wish she had more time to shine.

#8: Diane Poitier- I abdicate my title as empress

What already sets her apart from other evil concubines is that she was there before Adelaide so her reasons for being upset that another woman is showing up to marry the Emperor is reasonable, obviously her actions aren't but I still felt bad for her since no one in that palace gave a damn about her, Diane got ruthlessly belittled and ignored for not being useful to their liking or simply being too desperate and when Adelaide tries to not make an enemy out of her, Diane is looking for anyone to direct her anger on but the redemption arc as short as it is, makes up for it.

#7: Leila- villains are destined to die

My favorite ogfl turned villain. Leila is pure evil no questions asked. She steals the body of Yvonne which played a part in taking the latters reputation to a degree in the fandom and starts brainwashing everyone around her. That's what makes her so terrifying, one minute you could be at your highest and you feel like you rule the world, and next minute it all comes crashing down when the face of your long lost sibling arrives with fake tears in her eyes, ready to destroy everything you hold dear.

#6: Soleia Elard- seducing the villains father

I can't believe I'm saying this but a classic black magic witch is a unique villain in the manhwa world. During her introduction she's already causing mayhem by trying to kill Yerenica with black magic, and at first you'd think she's another "I want my hubbies affection!" Chick but no, she just wants to marry Erudian to have his child and use said child to avenge her family and destroy everything, characters are all frightened by her because she actually gets shit done instead of failing every minute of the day, and even after all that, she's allowed the privilege of life by getting a redemption arc.

#5: Cosette Weinberg- I was the real one.

She deserved so much better!! 😭 Cosette, my baby, you were set up to be such an amazing villain with high intelligence and well thought out plans, why did they have to give you the good old plot induced lobotomy! Girly wasn't just smart but there were actually times I could get behind Cosette. When Keira gave a maid 100 lashes after she insulted and wished death on Keira, it was Cosette who took advantage of an actual truth with only a little bit of exaggeration, they were both evil but only one of them was rightfully called out for it. Honestly just read the novel, the manhwa did it dirty.

#4: Marianne Edenverre- into the light again.

Nah someone get this baby to a church and give her the aggressive baptism 10 times over, I'll always be wondering how the hell did that 10 year old get her hands on a demon in the first place, the fact that the family never found her hiding behind a door or closet staring into their soul like a paralysis demon is surprising cause I imagine she would do that and be like "it's just me sillies, I would never mean to scare you 😛" she's a well written villainess who I wish would have a little bit more screentime but her powers and what she can do honestly confuses me (like that whole body-swap thing)

Final 3 everybody, you ready for this?

#🥉: the 3rd place medal goes to Dodolea Castor from My in laws are obsessed with me

Another real villainess, putting everyone off guard with her initial gacha life brat persona only to be hit in the face with disturbing levels of cruelty that can only match a psychopath, she looks straight out of an uncanny mr incredible meme with that light skin stare shes got. Straight up laughs at Therdeos trauma while being well aware that she tried to SA him and how it affected the poor guy and later proceeds to attempt to kill and later kidnaps his wife. There's no remorse, no regrets, just the souls of innocents behind those huge eyes.

#🥈 : the second place medal goes to Verta Alberhart from depths of malice.

She isn't even the antagonist, no that's the protagonist! And honestly, the only white lotus in the main lead spot I've ever read so far. And while she has a messed up backstory that explains why she's so bitter, she still full on embraces it. Vertas way of being granted a second chance isn't even because of some goddess or divine power, she just snatches the body of a suicidal noblewoman and wreaks havoc on all of the disgusting noblemen in her path. She cries on the court trial of her fiances murder while secretly laughing knowing she set the whole thing up and slowly ruins the life of anyone who fucked around and found out.

At long last, we reached #🏅, and the crown goes to none other than...

Rashta Ishka from the remarried empress!

Hear me out now, this isn't just me being biased. Rashta earns first place because even though she is rendered an idiot who's only use is being worse so everyone else can look good, she still managed to do something unfathomable. She earned the respect of a fandom that initially hated her with all the fiber of their being and now she has a growing fanbase of real people, not fictional characters, actual fans. People are literally turning on one of the most popular manhwas that started it all for its treatment of Rashta (because who would guess that people are uncomfortable with the fact that a former slave is the ultimate evil and not the guy who tortures people just for shit talking the FL) and even though there is still a big part of the fandom who despises her, she still lives in everyone's head rent free. The trashta meme is more well known than Navier as a character and her character arc will always be superior and far more interesting than everything else in the story, after all remarried empress did start to decline after her death.

Jesus christ this took so long, I had to do so much rereading and fact checking but it was worth it.

Not saying “I love you too” to the Fourth Wing characters before they leave

Hello! So I've been reading a lot of your works *cough* mainly Kaz and Pin *cough* and I was wondering if I could request one? If so, A6 from your dialogue prompt list with Kaz Brekker. Have a great day <3

Prompt: A6. “Ugh, people are so weird.”

A/N: I still can't look at him without remembering I actually have HUGGED that man and I get to do it once more in two months I-

RUMOUR TOLD ME

Ketterdam, in its darkness and grimness, was the last place Kaz would expect to find someone like you. You, a cheery, warm person who believed all people were good unless proven otherwise. And even working with the Dregs hadn’t wiped that attitude off you, which had always puzzled Kaz. And maybe it was the way you always saw the good in everyone was what made him develop feelings for you. Or rather, as he convinced himself, he was maybe slightly interested, but not necessarily romantically.

Either way, he treated you like he had always treated you, as another Crow, and he thought everyone else thought so too. And maybe that’s why it was so shocking when you came to the Slat one day, laughing as you slid to sit at the bar counter, one stool away from Kaz.

He stared at you for a moment, and you locked eyes with him. “I just heard the funniest thing.”

“Can’t wait to hear it,” Kaz mumbled, glancing at the barkeeper who immediately started preparing a drink for him.

“There’s a rumour circling around that Kaz Brekker has a crush,” you snickered, and Kaz immediately froze. “And the crush being me. Ugh, people are so weird.”

A short silence descended upon you, and your giggling echoed in Kaz’s mind.

He closed his eyes for a moment. Get it together, Brekker.

“And you find it funny?” Kaz grumbled, which earned a frown from you.

“Well, we are complete opposites. I mean, I guess people who sent this rumour going are probably avid romance novel readers whose favourite trope is ‘opposites attract’ but I have no idea what kind of drink they took to get themselves so drunk that they spun out this kind of theory.” You shrugged, gesturing to the barkeeper to prepare a drink for you too.

Kaz scowled. “Those kinds of rumours should be cut off before they have a chance to fly.”

You laughed. “Oh come on Kaz, it’s just some children spinning stories for their entertainment, it won’t hurt anyone.”

Kaz almost barked at you, telling you that children of Ketterdam should know better than joke with things like that before someone teaches them what it’s like to lose the fun in their life forever, but he held himself back. His mind momentarily filled with pictures of what could happen if the wrong kind of people found out about that rumour and believed it. You’d disappear and eventually come back to the Slat, carried by Matthias, with a knife in your heart, your body already cold, eyes open, beginning to rotten, your mouth opened in an eternal scream–

Kaz shook his head, forcing himself to stop thinking about that scenario.

“Rumours are dangerous,” he said, leaning towards you slightly. “Even ridiculous ones.”

You scoffed, waving your hand. “I know, but no one is going to believe something like that.”

Kaz withdrew, taking his cane and gripping the silver crow head. He wanted to tell you you’re off duty for a while. He wanted to claim he needed help in office work, which would bind you into Slat for a few weeks. He wanted to find whoever is spreading this rumour and warn them off, threaten them. Maybe even break their legs to ensure they won’t sing about it.

But even if that would work, and Kaz knew it would, it could be a sign that the rumour actually had truth to it. It would make him look weak, even if that person would never tell about his visit.

You got the drink and downed it, wiping your mouth with the back of your hand, before you looked at Kaz again. “Do you have any tasks for me? If not, Inej said she’d like to have company when she goes to run an errand but if you have something more important to do, I’ll pass on that.”

Kaz clenched his jaw, staring at his still full glass of kvas. “No.” Be careful.

You nodded and disappeared to the crowd, and Kaz told himself to not look at you walking away. And as soon as your steps faded, he downed the drink and stood up, making his way to the attic. He needed to take his mind off of… this, whatever it was.

But of course, on his way, he came across Jesper waiting by Wylan’s door, spinning his other revolver. Kaz already saw from Jesper’s grin what he was going to say, that he had also heard the rumours. “Hey, Boss. Word is you’ve got a crush on our Sunshine the Second.”

Kaz cocked an eyebrow at him. “What makes you think that?”

Jesper stopped spinning his revolver and shrugged. “Well. It’s been obvious for all of us for a while. I suspected it, so I told Nina, and she listened to your heartbeat while our star Sunshine was around, and–”

“And nothing,” Kaz barked. “Whatever you have heard or understood, is not true.”

Jesper cackled, and Kaz wanted nothing more than to stuff the handle of Jesper’s beloved revolver into his throat at that moment. But it was more because he realised everyone knew. His Crows, at least, knew.

When Jesper stopped cackling, his tone was more serious. “But hey, I understand that this… thing isn’t a good thing to be circling around. If you want some of us to go uh, find out who put the rumour to circle in the first place, just tell us.” He winked. “And of course, no telling your beloved.”

Kaz thought, staring at Jesper. He wanted to keep denying it, tell Jesper everyone are idiots, doubt Nina’s skills as a heartrender. But he knew that nothing would work anymore, everything would just confirm their every suspicion, those that were true and those that were not true.

So he nodded. “Deal with it. Quietly.”

Jesper nodded in return. “Always, boss.”

And when Kaz continued ascending the steps, he could almost hear Jesper’s grin. If there had been some doubt in Jesper’s mind, now there most definitely wasn’t.

Kaz knew that his Crows knowing except for you was miles better than the whole Ketterdam knowing. If everyone knew, or if such suspicions would rise to any extent, they would inevitably eventually go straight to rivaling gangs. And at that point, depending on how stupid they were, they could follow the rumour just in case and ambush you.

They would be stupid because if you were killed by a gang, Kaz wouldn’t rest before each one’s guts had painted every wall of their past territory, but they would also be smart because they’d take away the one thing Kaz truly cared about in this world, and it would be the second time around. Kaz wasn’t sure if he would ever recover, which would potentially make him weak in a way, maybe even suicidal with his hunger for bloodshed. He could be the most feared person in all of Kerch for a few weeks, but constantly throwing himself in situations he could get killed would eventually kill him. It could even be his goal, to die fighting and take as many of his enemies with him before that.

But after those little gossipers would be getting caught and warned off, things would maybe become better, and Kaz would be able to forget about this whole mess.

Little KCD1 fic set right before the Talmberg Night Raid (which as we all know goes to shit and then Henry runs around asking everyone how they're doing and no one bothers to ask him the same but he is Not Well.)

Just friends era hansry but full of tension.

The sun is setting over Talmberg. Soon it will be time to attempt their hostsge liberation.

"So," Hans says. "Ready to storm the castle? Rescue the dear Lady Stephanie? It's mad, but you're good at that."

"When were you going to tell me?"

"What have I done now?"

Henry turns, and there's a fire in his eyes Hans hasn't seen since before Vranik, maybe since he had nothing to his name but his grief and a sword he used to take down those Cuman bastards in the woods during their fateful hunt gone awry.

"About Sir R--fuck, about my father!"

"You think I knew? Really?"

"Oh, stop it. Hanush knew, Sir Divish knew, Istvan fucking Toth knew! Why not you as well?!"

"Good question! Maybe they thought I'd get drunk and run my mouth to half of Rattay. Or did you miss the part about my uncle not trusting me with my own damn affairs, let alone Radzig's? Use your head before you bite off mine. Christ."

Henry looks away, and without the burst of anger he seems suddenly so lost, defeated.

"You didn't know either, then," he says slowly, blinking as if waking from a dream.

"No. You told me your late father was a blacksmith--a respectable trade. I had no reason to suspect otherwise."

"He was. A good man."

"I don't doubt it."

"How could Ma do that to him?"

Hans doesn't know what to say.

"Perhaps he knew?"

"Sure." Henry laughs, bitter and low.

"Henry--"

"It doesn't matter now," he continues. "Knowing the mercy of that monster. I'll be an orphan again soon."

"Don't say that."

"Why? It's true. I'm failing him, just like I failed Ma and Pa. No wonder he didn't tell me himself. He'll die ashamed to have ever called me his son! They're all gonna die and it's my fault! I--"

He only stops speaking because he's run out of air and can't seem to figure out how to take a breath.

"Henry! For God's sake, breathe!"

Hands on his shoulders. Keep him steady, keep him breathing, keep him here. He doesn't think Henry would run or lash out at him, but he's going somewhere in his mind Hans can't follow. It's terrifying.

"I can't watch another village burn. I can't," Henry whispers after a while, like it's shameful, like Hans is a priest hearing his confession.

"Look at me, Hal."

Henry hasn't slept more than a handful of hours since he escaped Vranik. The exhaustion, the injuries, the battle, the fear--just one of those things would be enough to break most men. He isn't broken, but he isn't well either. The young lord thinks maybe he hasn't been since he first stumbled into Rattay, clashing swords and barbed words against Hans like he was unafraid to die. It's an absolute injustice that even more will be demanded of him before this is all done.

"None of this is your fault," Hans says firmly. "People owe their lives to you. Like that Skalitz girl. The one with visions of Our Lady."

"Johanka? They sent her to a convent."

"And we both know heresy is a serious charge. She could have fared much worse without you there to defend her."

"I don't know... If I hadn't let it go on so long maybe she'd still be here, with Matthias."

"Fine. What about me, then? Not only am I breathing after you saved me twice over, but my life is overall richer for your presence in it, you dolt."

"Hans..."

"Hear me when I say that if anyone can do this, it's you. I'd take that wager any day."

Probably ought to step back now. Hans is suddenly very aware of how close they are, of his hands still upon Henry's shoulders.

"Okay," Henry says.

"Yes?"

"Toth will pay. I swear it."

Hans pats his shoulder, then withdraws.

"There he is! That's my blacksmith's boy. Or, well, you know." Fierce as a hound chasing the scent of blood, his own personal guardian angel; if only Henry could be anything he wanted. But that isn't the way of war. "We will see Toth hang for what he did."

"We?"

"Of course! You didn't think I would let you go alone, did you? Better here than waiting for the bastards to take Rattay. Besides, I'm something of an expert at sneaking in and out of castles undetected."

"Thank you, my lord. Can't imagine Sir Hanush is pleased."

"Livid!" Hans beams.

Henry smiles a little, although nothing is really any more okay than it was before. Hans cherishes the victory. He doesn't know it yet, but it will be the only one they have tonight.

#kingdom come deliverance #kcd1 #hansry #hans capon #henry of skalitz #i just think it was sweet of him to come take back talmberg with me

‘ “I think you should buy a golden piano-”

“Flute,”

“-and play concerts on a pleasure barge. You can park it in the canal right outside your father’s house,”

“Nina can sing,” Inej put in.

“We’ll duet,” Nina amended, “Your father will have to move,” ’

- Six of Crows, Chapter 19 (Matthias), wherein Jesper suggests Wylan’s best possible use of his money from the Ice Court Heist.

Can someone please ask the wonderful Ms Leigh Bardugo why on earth this was not the plot of Crooked Kingdom? It would have made me so happy.

General Relationships

To celebrate my birthday today (February 5th), I thought I'd share some General Relationships with my favorite characters, I just put those that don't have a general relationship or bf

To be honest, I had forgotten that the Cheshire Cat has one, but as I only remembered it when I was finished, I decided that it would remain

Morningstar/Ithaqua

• As a king, he is a bit busy and sometimes forgets to pay attention to you,

• For me, there are few things he doesn't know how to do,

• Another who is cute when he wants to be, but to the public he is an evil sadist,

• You are still the only person who has seen his gentle and loving side,

• A complete little love in private,

• He is very afraid of losing you, even if you say you won't leave him

Moonlight Gentleman/Joseph Desaulnier

• He often acts like a dog,

• He loves to caress his ears and especially if you massage them, you can be sure that you will have a puppy with a wagging head,

• Exorcist to this day has not said his opinion due to the relationship you have with Moonlight,

• This dog man, just hearing his name makes his tail wag,

• He tries to hide the fact that his tail is wagging in your presence because he thinks it's embarrassing, even if you say it's cute,

• To be honest, I would like to have a Moonlight of my own because he's so cute, but I have to settle for his skin

Exorcist/Aesop Carl

• I have some controversial opinions regarding him,

• He could go from calm to cold in seconds,

• Moonlight really likes your relationship for some reason he never said,

• As an Exorcist, he sometimes comes home very late,

• He's not much for physical contact, but he enjoys stroking your hair,

• You, him and Moonlight watch the sunset every day together

Phoenix/Aesop Carl

• This man is cute and shy because of his fear of being hunted,

• Likes to watch the stars with you,

• In my opinion, he and the Cheshire Cat are the cutest, right after Victor Specter,

• He tries not to be so cute, but he just can't,

• He really likes sweets and his food,

• A great, gentle and kind companion who won't leave your side unless you ask

Cheshire Cat/Naib Subedar

• He's cute, without a shadow of a doubt the cutest after Phoenix, or even before,

• Purrs while you stroke his hair,

• Even though he is half feline, he doesn't have much freshness to eat,

• Don't think you can pet his tail, he will still bite and scratch you if you do that, he doesn't like having his tail touched,

• He likes to sleep on your lap or on top of a tree like a cat,

• The only thing he doesn't like is you changing your tone of voice when calling him, after all he doesn't like feeling like a pet

Luca Balsa

• To this day he wonders why you chose him,

• Already made a kitten robot for you,

• He doesn't really know how to be affectionate, but the important thing is that he tries,

• He's a bit annoying because of his low self-esteem,

• Alva never stops thanking you for taking care of Luca,

• He's a little jealous and doesn't like seeing you around Kevin

Edgar Valden

• He is annoying, very annoying, doesn't like anything and complains about almost everything,

• The only thing he openly says he likes is painting with you, but only also,

• He's a real tsundere,

• When he wants to, he is kind and leaves his arrogance aside, but only if you two are alone,

• He likes having you sitting on his lap,

• You may have accidentally become his muse

Matthias Czenin

• His attitude has always been a little shy and almost everything scares him, not that you can blame him,

• You two already tried to get rid of Louis, but it didn't end very well, unfortunately,

• He loves your company and feels calm in your presence,

• Louis seems to have a strange attachment to you, honestly, this scary doll,

• Please try to get rid of this doll, he is completely scary...

• Sometimes, just sometimes Louis lets you two have your privacy, but just as he disappears, he appears

NSFW warning

Snippet from Kaz's eventual seduction of Matthias, as part of the Key-ring fics I have going ~

Kaz’s gaze locked with his, “Oh?”

“I was thinking,” Matthias ran his hand up his partner’s thigh, sliding under the fabric on his hips and through the other side of it. His underwear bulged with Matthias’s intrusion, the heat of Kaz’s skin like a blessing on Matthias’s palm, “I was wondering why your eyes had hypnotized me so easily. No demon before you had much luck in tempting me, but for some reason I'm willing to fall to my knees for whatever your shark’s gaze commands of me. I tried so hard to hate you, and here you are. The object of my fantasies. How did you do it?”

Matthias turned his hand, tugging lightly at the hem of the black fabric in his way. A wordless question, but one he wanted to ask all the same. They were going at Kaz’s pace and only his. Matthias would lose more than just his sanity if even a single sour note tainted this moment between them, he wanted to make sure Kaz felt all the power he had right now. Plus, it was impolite to assume.

His skin was soft. Much softer than Matthias had expected. It felt downy smooth against the calluses on his knuckles. He had known Kaz was pale, but seeing it under the curl of his coat collar was much different then seeing it displayed before him so openly. Matthias could see the entirety of his partner's ruddy blush, from the dip of his navel to the creeping climb up his neck until it reached the curves of his ears.

Kaz looked to the side, and only then did Matthias realize what it meant. Kaz was blushing. Before he could comment on it, Kaz looked back at him, “Truthfully?”

Matthias nodded slowly.

“I dunno,” Kaz shrugged, biting his lip, “But I could tell you didn’t belong there. When I saw you in your cell, I just… wanted to get you free. Whatever it took.”

His words were jarringly kind for how willing he was to believe Matthias would do him in only moments before. Kaz Brekker was like that, though. He was an abandoned well, full of jagged rocks and sharp heights only to house a soothing pool of spring water at the bottom. Though Matthias had not fallen with the intention of ever landing, he had still been surprised at how safe he felt in Kaz’s depths. Mayhaps because he was a good swimmer.

Matthias pressed another soft kiss at the crux of Kaz’s groin, where his thigh met his hips and… lower. That forbidden heat between his legs. Or, no. It wasn’t forbidden, especially not when Matthias was about to put his mouth on it. And Kaz had seemed very eager about that if the state of his underclothes were to be believed. The crotch was sopping wet, so close to Matthias’s face now that he almost felt like he could taste it if he just parted his lips a bit. And then he remembered that, well, that was exactly what his goal was. To taste. So Matthias leaned forward and licked a long stripe up Kaz’s clothed cunt. His boss gasped loudly, body trembling like he had been dunked in ice water without warning.

And fuck, Matthias had to dart a hand under himself to strangle his cock, because the wretched thing almost came at the sound. It played in Matthias’s head over again, breathy in his ear like a whisper. Matthias dug his tongue in further, unable to resist as the taste of Kaz flooded his mouth. It was tangy, sweet and heady with lust. It also tasted of soap, slightly, as everything was muffled by the cotton of Kaz’s panties. The bland taste of cloth suddenly became the most frustrating barrier Matthias had ever encountered. He tugged impatiently at the fabric again, requesting permission to get them off. As beautiful as Kaz looked in them, they had become more of a hindrance than anything else.

Kaz swore, sinking a naked hand into Matthias’s hair and yanking just shy of too hard, “Fuck, just take them off already.”

That was all the permission Matthias needed, and he pulled them down without a second thought.

Nina: superman!

Jesper: Batman!

Nina: you are such an edge poser

Jesper: and you are basic!

Nina: Superman is more powerful!

Jesper: Batman is smart AND rich. I am basically dating Batman,what’s your excuse? Can Matthias fly or be bullet proof?

Matthias: what’s this weird feeling?

Nina: you know what? Lets just have our friends make the tie breaker. Matthias? Which one is best?

Jesper: hey! No undoing your buttons!

Nina: pff fine

Matthias: i honestly like Superman better, he is friendly and gets things done more easy

Jesper: laaame

Jesper: now,Wylan , which one?

Nina: hey! No undoing his buttons!

Jesper: ugh,fine

Wylan: well while i appreciate Superman’s concept of kindness born from good parenting from honest people…

Nina: ha! Points for me

Wylan: hold on, BUT i am more of a fan of Batman using his richness for the common good so people won’t suffer like he did…

Nina: boring! Ugh,another tie…huh…Ine-

Inej: Wonder Woman

Jesper: fair

Nina: well,we should call it a tie…

Jesper: Kaz hasn’t voted!

Nina: we don’t need his opinion

Jesper: yes we do. Kaz..

Kaz: Superman

Jesper: ha! It seems like…what?

Kaz: Batman doesn’t even shoot his enemies,he puts them in jail to “help them” what a weakling. Superman on the other hand, puts them in the phantom zone, a fate worse than death when they will travel around the universe,lost,lonely,bound to become insane. That’s the kind of cruelty trive in

Nina: what?…no! Thats not what Superman is about…no!

Jesper: why are you complaining? He made you win

Nina: NOT LIKE THIS!

THIS is the man, who deserves a second chance. And second second chance. And...

Six of Crows- Chapter 34

The author's favourite villain, who has absolutely nothing in common with any of the men "starring" in Nuremberg trials, and doesn't deserve to die (That would make his killer no better than him.) or suffer (Like a certain super evil revolutionary and VICTIM of the likes of this men.).

So Brum isn't driven by some misguided sense of honour or protectiveness. He's simply a sadist, who found THE perfect job.

And he LITERALLY tells Nina in her face, yet she somehow manages to forget it.

So why don't you, you spineless cunt? I'm sure there are free spots in other branches of Fjerdan army. Too few chances to torture ordinary soldiers?!

Good to know at least some of his disgusting stances come from an actual conviction.

Good to know Reichsführer-drüskelle truly believes himself to be a beacon of virtuous asceticism.

They're not even living creatures for him, merely tools.

This certainly doesn't remind me of a specific historic figure, who liked to study subhumans purposefully infected by various diseases or try what would happen, if you drop some acid into twins' eyes.

Some light reading on the topic.

Fanatic.

He's so nonchalant about it!

Just another Tuesday for him.

That's neither simple killing enemy soldiers as Nina would like us to believe, nor keeping track of high-profile threats to Fjerda, it's SYSTEMATIC ANNIHILATION.

Two sentences clearly shedding light on the mind of Jarl Brum. As I already pointed out, he enjoys the suffering he causes AND he's more than happy to assume scientific approach to use Grisha, who are less than animals to him.

Remember how Matthias called Grisha less than dogs? I wonder where he got that...

Manhwas except the villainess is the protagonist.

Groundhog Duchess, FL: Rhyse Sinclair. Tone: psychological horror (Not your typical reincarnation story)

Rhyse has achieved everything she could've ever wanted, she found a loving family, she has supporting friends, the woman who schemed for her downfall is dead, and now she's married to her husband Cliff as the new Duchess Rudwick! Until she woke up in her bed, the dates set back to where she started, living in her abusive family home where she laments that it was just a dream.. and then her dream comes true! Finally, she's achieved the happiness her dream foretold. Right after her wedding night she wakes back up, in her childhood home with her abusive family. It keeps happening over and over, no one believes Rhyse when she tries to speak out. There's something pulling the strings, something keeping her from speaking on her accord. She begins to avoid the Rudwicks, hoping that it would end this teasing nightmare but no matter where she goes, she always ends right back into Cliff and Killians arms, back to being tormented by Edith, back to a life that will always be taken away from her right when she's at her highest and with each passing time, she starts to lose more of herself and becoming more and more spiteful and bitter. Will Rhyse finally be able to put an end to this cycle and achieve a happy ending that lasts forever with her unexpected ally?

the flowers from another world, protagonists: Robelia and Aisha Tone: Comedy (Divorcing my tyrant husband)

Aisha had it all. She was the pampered consort of the tyrannical Alexandros and on her way to becoming the next empress, a major improvement from her boring life in Korea. She never wanted to leave, that is until mysteriously all the love and attention she would bask in has disappeared.

The once quiet and obedient empress Robelia was all of a sudden Alexandros love again! One by one Aisha starts to lose everything, all her allies turned on her and none of her endeavors had a chance to succeed not to mention Robelia has been nothing but insufferable the entire time. When Aisha finally confronts Robelia on her sudden change in behavior the two argue further until Alexandros shows up. Much to Aishas dismay, he only assists Robelia but somethings odd.. Robelia doesn't seem to be enjoying ANY of the attention..? Huh, odd. Who wouldn't want to be adored by a man who would do ANYTHING for you? Well it turns out Robelia is also from the same world as Aisha and she's been acting the way she has so she can divorced and live away from the nobles. The women come to an understanding in their commin goal and as frenimies they go on misadventure after misadventure to restore Aishas plot powers so Robelia can easily get divorced and leave. But the more time Aisha spends with Robelia, the more she sees from her point or view and she starts to wonder if Alexandros is even worth it?.

Two birds on a wire, FL: Claudine Van Brandt, tone: drama+tragedy (cry or better yet beg)

As far as Claudine could remember she was reminded that everyone has a destiny to fulfill in the aristocracy and hers was to marry and bear heirs. All Claudine really wanted in life was a carefree one where she got to live in luxury and enjoy the finest of all so to please her family and live her ideal life at the same time, she chooses a long time acquaintance, the Duke of Berg, Matthias Herhardt. Despite her fiancé's strange behavior Claudine was fine with how things were until she starts to notice Matthias take an interest in someone else.. the niece of one his employees and a girl she knew back then: Layla Llewellyn. Suddenly everything begins to feel as if it's falling apart. Claudine guaranteed luxurious life is now at stake and she's willing to do what it takes to achieve it! But what about Layla? No, why should she care? She's the one who's wreaking Claudines home, if she'll become collateral damage then she deserves it for flirting with someone else's man.. until she learns of what kind of psychological damage Matthias is inflicting on Layla, Claudine terrified now: if she marries that man then who knows what he'll put her through, screw her luxurious life and her families desires she needs to escape now!.. but not before she breaks Matthias and Layla up and free the poor girl she wrongfully accused, that is if Claudine isn't already too late.

the human saintess, FL: Diana tone: romance+ self growth (For my derelict favorite)

Diana is a saintess of common origins, with no one reconginizing her due to her lack of status a miracle in the form of two handsome men grant her the chance to finally use her healing powers for the good of the common folk, all seems well until one of her friends Cael reveals that he killed their enemies for her in the name of love. It seemed sensible at the time that she rejected him harshly and told him to leave. With only one man left she chooses Helios as her husband and becomes the crown princess. Now that she's a noble, Diana must learn how to act as one even if it means restricting some of her power to the poor. All Diana wants is to be accepted, to finally receive some payment after all that hardwork she'll even ignore news on Cael if she has to, he must be doing better anyway now right?. Well, not exactly. By ignoring any news about him Diana never realized that Cael had attempted suicide more than once, but what could she do? By the time she finds out she also learns that Caelus is married so it should all be fine.. until Caelus's new wife Hestia keeps harassing her for her faults, she just won't leave! But Diana can't say anything, she's the saintess! She HAS to be good.. but to who? The nobles or the commoners? Why can't it just easy for once!?

Slowly but surely, Diana will learn that even if she's a saintess, she's still a person and as a person, she makes mistakes, some big and some small. If she wants to get any better she has to make things right. Starting with the people she neglected below.

into the dark forever, FL: Marianne Edenverre, tone: self destruction.

All her childhood Marianne had been nothing but bad fortune. Her mother treated her terribly and even living as the 5th princess did little to differentiate from her previous homelife. All her new half siblings refuse to treat her as human for her status as an illegitimate child except for the 4th princess Alisa, the bright bundle of joy that made her feel welcome.However, a single person cannot make up for the mistreatment, especially if that person is the star of the family. Why can't Marianne have that? Who does Alisa even think she is!? Is she taunting her? Marianne won't stand for that disrespect, she suffered enough hasn't she? When is she gonna get her paid her dues? If God won't pay her then she'll just have to steal it herself so Marianne summons a demon to give her the help she needs. All of a sudden, everyone loves her! She's the star of the show and now Alisa is the scapegoat, finally, now the 4th princess will know what it feels like to be ostracized but when that doesn't work, Marianne decides to just arrange her death instead. There, no more Alisa, she's finally the most adored girl in Edenverre... wait, Alisa has been reincarnated into the princess of a enemy empire? Well Marianne can't let that stand idly by, she needs to get rid of Aisha de Elmire now, no matter what it may cost.

Project Leila, FL: Yvonne Eckart, tone: coming of age tragedy.

After getting lost during a festival, Yvonne loses her not just her brothers and father but her sense of self, she had been possessed by the goddess Leila and its been relentless in its pursuit to possess her. Yvonne waited and waited for her father to come and find her, she wouldn't let Leila break her spirit but when she finds her father taking another girl in as her replacement, Yvonnes heart drops and she almost loses all hope and Leila almost succeeds.. but Yvonne is able to snap out of it at the nick of time, it was a close call but the pain of abandonment never did go away. During the remaining years, Yvonne never bothered to go back home anymore, they seemed to like that purple haired girl anyway and surprisingly Leila wasn't so bad to talk to as it was the perfect being to vent to. Day by day Leila keeps trying to trick Yvonne into letting it possess her but she always stands her ground and declares that she'll never affiliate herself with the likes of the goddess. But when Yvonne is found and arrives on Penelopes coming of age ceremony, it becomes tempting. All Yvonne saw was the girl who stole her life but the real monsters may have been more close to home then she thought. Just how toxic did her family become and will she be able to resist Leilas temptation?

The concubines woes, FL: Diane Poitier, tone: female rage+self reflection (I will abdicate my title as empress)

Diane Poitier had been a patient girl. After losing everything at a young age she had been determined to never let that happen again when she becomes the Emperors concubine. He has no wife, she's is the owner of the Ivory palace, and she resembles his deceased mother, the cards should have all fell in place, but they never do. The Emperor instead marries the crown princess Adelaide of Kotrov. Just like that Diane feels everything crashing down around her so she makes an enemy out of Adelaide, belittling her and trying to drive a wedge between the new married couple so she can return to the escapism of knowing she's the Emperors one and only. Yet with all the grievances she causes, Adelaide never sees Diane as an enemy, if anything the empress is the kindest to her then anyone else has ever been, one side of Diane wants to keep pushing until Adelaide snaps but the other is weeping so much it can't come up with the words. Why is she even doing this? What will this get her? Will the Emperor even marry her at all when he gets divorced? Why is she being this way to the one woman who has shown her kindess?These are the nagging questions the keep Diane up at night.

Divorcing your husband, FL: Sumin Jeong, tone: comedy (Marry my husband)

Sumin will never admit it but she's been a snake in the grass for most of her life, she can't stand seeing her friend Jiwon happier than her so what better way to ruin her life then to sleep with her husband while Jiwon is terminally ill? Well.. Karma inevitably catches up to Sumin and she is killed by the very same man she slept with after he accidently murdered Jiwon to eliminate any witnesses. Instead of waking up in heaven or hell, Sumin is back 10 years ago! Does she even deserve this? Of course she does! How could someone so deserving like her not? It turns out though that she lost a little something along the way.. her charisma! It's been stolen the moment Jiwon died and when Minhwan killed her. Without her cutesy baby act no man will just crumble when she says "Oppa!" Sumin actually has to work for what she wants now, and the only 2 men who are still willing to adore her are her killer and older co worker who has a thing for her childish talk, jeez were her co workers always this terrible? Whatever, she'll play into Minhwans hand for the time being.. after all, she could use a little life insurance from him.

Golden cage, FL: Rashta Ishka, tone:tragedy+female rage (remarried empress)

The tragic tales of a girl sold into slavery and the men who take advantage of her. Most strived for beauty but Rashta hated it, her beauty was a curse and it drew in all predators who wanted to take a bite out of her. The first man who fell for her was one of her masters who currently raises their child, the second is the Emperor of the empire who loves her like a hunter loves their trophies they caught and the third is the most charming yet manipulative of them all. During the duration of one year, Rashta navigates the life of a concubine and later empress. The ladies in waiting hate her for displacing their empress, the men desire her for her innocent beauty, her former master blackmails her, and her idol: the empress won't even turn an eye to her direction, her only hope is to keep going with her role of the prey Sovieshu caught. Keep acting cute, keep speaking in 3rd person, she doesn't even have to learn much etiquette if it means Sovieshu will find it charming. Slowly, she is picked apart by everyone in her life and the only people who could've helped her have been pushed away. There's no saving Rashta, she's already trusted too many of the wrong people and made too many mistakes but maybe when her children grow up and learn their mothers story they'll be the voice to put an end to slavery and grant the next generation the future she always wanted.

Aim for the throne, FL: Isabella de Mare, tone: suspenseful drama (Sister I am the queen in this life)

Isabella may be her families favorite but that alone isn't enough. She knows her worth as a woman only means so much and as much as she loved her mother, she refused to end up like her as a de-facto wife of a mere cardinal. No, if she only mattered for her beauty than Isabella was going to use it to it's fullest: she wants to become queen of San Carlo, but when her half sister Ariande comes to live with the family, the new competitor meant buisness and had already earned their fathers favor much to Isabellas annoyance. What was supposed to be a subtle warning is quickly figured out and it turns out Ariande isn't as dumb as Isabella thought. Throughout the years that follow, both sisters clash and plot to rise up the ranks. Isabella becomes a renowned beauty engaged to prince Alfonso and Ariande becomes reserved but most devoted to her religious studies, earning her privileges with the clergy. This has been Isabellas most formidable foe yet and she's willing to go to lengths of murder to secure her destiny as queen of San Carlo. Little does she know.. the golden rule cares little about beauty.

Black widow, FL: Krista, tone: thriller drama (remarried empress)

Out of all the ways it could have happened why this?, Krista was already deposed of her position of queen as expected when her husband died but with her positive reputation with the people and her brother in law remaining single, Krista was confident she'd stay as the beloved queen of the west. Oh, Heinrey brought in the former empress of the east to be his wife? Well she can't be shocked, the kingdom does need heirs after all, Heinreys starting to establish his fiancé as queen already? It's fine.. maybe he'll let her stay with them instead of sending to her to compshire to mourn for the rest of her life besides, she'll always have her loyal ladies in waiting. Wait no.. most of them are already defecting from Krista to the new queen.

Krista is losing everything and her foolish family isn't helping her case, all she has left is the peoples support for her but even that is fleeting!? What? Of course.. his majesty has stated he'd fill the mouths of those disrespectful to the new queen with rocks and sew it shut, it must've scared everyone into submission. Everything is on line now, Krista's father is continuously pushing buttons he shouldn't be pushing and when Krista's brother attempts to kill Navier, all fingers point to her as his accomplice. If Krista wants to clear her name she's gonna have to play the hard way and put on an act like she's loyal to Heinreys new wife and hope that the Heinrey doesn't execute her to protect Navier.

#I'm not great at coming up with titles #remarried empress #sister i am the queen in this life #cry or better yet beg #for my derelict favorite #into the light once again #not your typical reincarnation story #marry my husband #death is the only ending for a villainess #divorcing my tyrant husband #i abdicate my title of empress #the remarried empress

Hongice week day 6! There’s a saying in Iceland

I’m not 100% sure I used the saying correctly but uh you have to accept it 🙏 sorry for posting ts so late again!

₊˚⊹♡

Emil looked at the customer yelling something in Chinese. He wasn’t getting paid enough to apologise and repeat that he doesn’t understand anything for the 5th time. He rolled his eyes and looked at other people sitting at the table. It was just a girl probably in her twenties trying to calm her father down and a boy his age staring blankly at his phone. That definitely wasn’t the first time that man did something like this.

The waiter sighed and turned to the boy “What would you like?”

“I, uh… I’ll just take the dumplings” he said, pointing at them in the menu.

“Uh-huh” he said writing down his order “Something to drink?”

“Coke maybe?”

“Of course. You?” He looked at the girl and she smiled apologetically.

“I’ll take the sesame oil chicken soup. And for him…” she eyed the still furious man, “He’ll take the dumplings too.”

Emil nodded and walked away after he finished writing. He passed the order to his coworker and sat behind the counter. He hated that job, but it was summer, and he didn’t want to spend it all at home. Getting his own money and not having to ask his older brother - Lukas - for permission to buy something was also good.

Now he was saving for a new laptop. They weren’t cheap, and even though Lukas said that he could help and lend him some money if he needed, he had to work. He just wished he had picked something else than this stinky eating place.

He continued watching the restaurant to see if he was needed somewhere. He noticed the boy with crazy dad glancing at him while the girl talked to them. He looked away and tried to ignore them. He had to focus, not wonder about his costumer’s conversations. It’s not like he cared about them anyway.

Today this place was filled with tourists. Emil already tried to talk with some Americans hoping that they will leave him a tip. It was the only thing he liked in the visitors. Unfortunately many of them didn’t respect his country enough. Iceland was beautiful and so dangerous sometimes, and for some reason they all preferred to see the second side. Then, if something bad happened, they complained.

He sighed again and turned around. Emil jumped slightly when he saw the guy from the 10th table standing next to him.

“Your food will b-“

“Yes, I know… I just wanted to apologise for my old man. Look, I really have no idea why he’s so mean today!” He said and took Emil’s hand putting something in it. “I promise to make it up to you later!” He started walking away so Emil opened his hand and saw three 1000 krona bills.

He looked at the boy, but he was already busy talking to his family. He smiled to himself and continued his work bringing food to tables and taking more orders.

When his food was ready he made sure to bring the three plates smiling. First, he placed the girls bowl in front of her, then the mad man’s one. When he handed the last dish the boy stretched out his hands and ‘accidentally’ touched Emil’s again looking into his eyes. Emil blushed a bit.

“Bon appétit!” He smiled even more and went back behind the counter. He looked at the clock, he could go home in half an hour. He couldn’t wait to change into something more comfortable, that didn’t smell like deep-fried food.

He remembered his brother asked him to buy some groceries. On the next day Emil didn’t have to go to work, so Lukas asked him to cook something for them. He laughed about preparing something Chinese, but Emil couldn’t look at that food anymore. He decided to make something that his brother hated. Maybe lamb stew? It wasn’t that bad, yet for some reason Lukas despised it.

He walked over to an empty table to clean it. He picked up all the dirty dishes and took them back to kitchen, where his friend Matthias began washing them. He and Lukas were classmates in high school and it was his idea to make Emil a waiter in this small restaurant. He went to the table to wipe it clean so other customers could sit there.

That’s when his shift ended. He smiled to himself and after changing his clothes he started walking to his bus stop. He turned on his phone to check when the bus was going to arrive and growled. 30 minutes. He shook his head, it would take him less time to walk home so that’s what he did.

The weather was very nice. It wasn’t too cloudy, the sun was shining on his back warming him up. He could hear birds singing and people laughing. Perfect. He crossed the road after making sure that no car would hit him and continued walking. His neighbourhood wasn’t the biggest and he knew almost everyone living there. His neighbours were lovely, they used to help him a lot when he was younger.

Once he got to his apartment he took off his shoes and jacket, and sat on the couch. Lukas was still at work, so he didn’t need to rush with going to the store. He wanted to relax first! He turned on the tv and went to the kitchen to quickly make himself some tea.

When he sat again he started looking for something interesting to watch. He didn’t want to watch the news all the time, there wasn’t any new movies playing, he was too old for cartoons… He stopped on a documentary about animals living in cold countries. He hoped to see puffins - they were his favourite animals.

Emil slowly drank his tea. He always loved biology. When he was younger he dreamed of owning a few wild animals like polar bears and birds to show them real love. Now he found it embarrassing and he hated when Lukas was reminding him about it.

He still wanted to study marine biology. He didn’t want to end up like Mathias, stuck in a boring job that barely paid him. Somehow he still had enough money to get drunk every weekend and Lukas had to help him picking him up from bars. He wanted a better life, to have money to travel and see whole Iceland, and of course know everything about sea life.

His tea was gone, so he decided to go to store. He turned off the television, put his mug in the dishwasher and took his phone. Lukas left him some money on the table, so he didn’t have to use his savings. He packed everything in a bag and left his home making sure to lock the door.

There wasn’t a lift in this building, so he carefully started walking down the stairs. They lived on the third floor. It wasn’t too bad, but he still hated having to go all the way up there. He stopped after a second when he heard a familiar voice.

The owner of the voice also stopped when he saw him. They looked at each other shocked before he started laughing hysterically.

“No way! You live here?” He continued laughing while Emil stood there confused. “Well, now that we’re going to be neighbours you will have to deal with my family even more. Hah.. I’m Leon”

“Emil. Wh-what are you doing here?” He asked

“Hm? Our airbnb is, like, here.” Leon answered. “I’m really sorry for him.” He said again

“Oh, it’s not a big deal! Seriously, I had to serve worse customers.”

Leon smiled. He looked at Emil’s bag and asked him where he was going and if he could join. His family was busy with some business stuff, because that was the reason they came there. Emil agreed, Leon seemed very nice and… he gave him the tip.

They started walking. The store wasn’t that far from their homes and the weather didn’t change. Leon told him more about himself. They were both 17, he loved listening to music, and lived in Hong Kong. He didn’t have many friends just like Emil, so he was glad they talked.

Emil couldn’t fight the urge to smile and stare at Leon all the time. He never thought he was someone who could start liking anyone so quickly, but there he was, blushing when Leon glanced at him. There was something in him pulling Emil. Maybe they knew each other in their past lives? Or their paths were supposed to cross and they had to stay together forever? He laughed quietly at his own thoughts. It was stupid, of course it wasn’t possible.

He looked at him again. Leon’s hair were shining beautifully in the sun, that wouldn’t go away anytime soon. This week must’ve been terrible for him, it wasn’t easy to get used to nights full of light. But he still looked happy.

When the Cantonese boy finished talking about himself, he asked Emil few questions. His age, if he also has siblings, what he liked to do in his free time, what books he read, and what was his favourite music band. He joked about the French underground music, after Emil told him that the band he listens to the most had only 400 monthly listeners. They chuckled together.

As they finally arrived at the store, Leon kept asking Emil about different products he had never seen before. He was shocked to see how many things were available in the liquorice flavour. Emil decided to buy some, so Leon could try it and warned him that not everyone likes it.

After buying everything they needed, and even more they could go home. Leon said that his father had an online meeting and he couldn’t go to his apartment yet, so Emil offered him to come over. It was nice to finally have someone his age to hang out with, not only loud Mathias, Lukas or his boyfriend. He loved them of course, they became his family after his and Lukas’ parents died. He was just very curious about Leon.

On the way back they were talking too. Emil was telling his companion about his life in Iceland. It was way more quiet than Hong Kong and even the big capital seemed like a small village where everyone was related and they spent all holidays together.

Leon said that Emil’s home was the most cozy he ever seen. It was true, Lukas hated how empty it was without their parents, so he bought a lot of plants, blankets and pillows to put everywhere. They also used the ceiling lamps only in winter, there wasn’t need for big lights when they had sun all the time. Instead they used sweet smelling candles.

Leon also convinced Emil to cook something else for dinner. He agreed on easy pasta with tomato sauce deciding that he will cook something worse other day. It was already around 17:00 and Lukas was supposed to finish his work soon, so they started preparing everything. Emil let his guest help only a bit, because he said that since he was a waiter he knew best how to deal with food. They lit one of the candles on the middle of the table and looked at everything.

“How romantic” Joked Leon and placed his hand on Emil’s back making him blush. Instead of moving away he leaned closer to the Asian and put his head on his shoulder. What he was doing was very risky, he could lose a potential friend or maybe even more. He didn’t care, though. You only live once, right?

—

That’s what he was thinking on the next day too. After spending whole night talking and snuggling with Leon in his room, he was sure that they started liking each other. After choosing clothes he wanted to wear, he decided to take Leon on a small date. He wanted to show him his favourite place. It was in a nearby forest, right next to a lake.

Lukas was staying at his boyfriends apartment, he got invited few minutes before he left his workplace and he send Emil a short message saying to not wait for him with the dinner, so Emil and Leon could eat the pasta alone in even more romantic atmosphere.

Now he texted Lukas that he was leaving the house and going on a walk not mentioning his friend even once. He went on the first floor, because that’s where Leon’s apartment was located. He knocked on the door and waited.

His sister - Mei - opened it and smiled when she saw him.

“Uh… hello”

“Hi, Emil! Come in, please, Leon’s eating breakfast in the kitchen” Emil smiled back and followed her.

Leon still sleepy was watching something on his phone and munching on cereal. When he saw Emil his eyes filled with sparks and he rushed to hug him and say hello.

“Do you want to go on a walk today? I want to show you something” Emil asked, his voice full of hope.

“Of course! Just let me get changed” Leon smiled and pulled his hand to take him to a bedroom he slept in.

His suitcase was laying in the middle opened, next to it some clothes scattered around, and another bag in the corner. He smiled slightly seeing the mess knowing that Lukas would kill him for doing something like that. Leon sat in front of the suitcase and started searching for a perfect outfit. Emil sat right beside him waiting patiently.

He blushed when he saw Leon’s chest after he took his shirt off. He could see his muscles quite well. He looked so much better than him. He looked away to not make him uncomfortable and waited a bit more for Leon to put on his clothes.

Before leaving Leon finished his breakfast as Mei told him. He grabbed Emil’s hand and they started their walk. It was an hour od hiking, but neither of them completed. Time was passing quickly when they were together. Too quickly. They talked the whole way there, it seemed that they never ran out of things to say.

Emil was showing Leon different flowers, trees and birds trying to teach him their names in Icelandic. Leon told Emil about the forests in China too. He joked about it being a concrete jungle, but also tried to tell him as many details about plants growing there as he remembered to help the Icelander imagine it.

“You should visit Hong Kong once” He said after a minute of silence “It is pretty in its way”

“I wish I could” Emil whispered.

When they arrived Emil showed his friend how to climb on a tree he always sat on. He moved a bit closer to Leon who touched his thigh. They weren’t too high up, maybe two meters. Looking at the water moving calmly always made Emil feel so much better. It was the place he run to when he found out about his parents death. Lukas couldn’t find him for hours. he just cried here. Since then this was where he spent long days when he felt troubled. He felt a bit closer to his mum here.

He was feeling well, though. He felt like he should show Leon that old tree and lake, because who knows? Perhaps they could spend more time together sitting on it. He smiled to himself and closed his eyes.

Even being completely quiet he felt like he was telling Leon this whole story. His heart started beating faster when he got an idea.

“Leon?”

“Hm?”

He turned to face him, his legs now hung on both sides of the branch they were on.

“There’s a saying in Iceland.. ‘Rúsínan í pylsuendanum’. It translates as a raisin at the end of the hotdog.”

“Really? What does it even mean!” Leon almost cried. Emil wasn’t shocked, it didn’t really made sense for him either.

“A nice surprise or a highlight of an experience. Kinda like ‘the cherry on top’” Emil smiled when he saw Leon’s grimaced expression.

“Why would a raisin be something good on a hotdog? Icelandic food is disgusting!” He laughed. “But… does it mean I can say that meeting you was the raisin on my hotdog?”

Emil blushed and opened his mouth slightly shocked. It was nice to hear that. Leon looked at him and touched his cheek. They leaned closer until millimetres were between their noses and looked in each others eyes last time before closing them and connecting their lips.

Butterflies exploded in his stomach, it felt like magic was running through their bodies completely taking control over them. Emil wrapped his arms around Leon’s neck and deepened their kiss.

He wished it lasted forever, but they felt few raindrops falling on them. Leon looked up and giggled, Emil with him.

—

They got home after few hours completely wet. They didn’t mind it, because the warm feelings inside of them kept them from freezing. Still with smiles on their faces they started taking their clothes off and putting on Emil’s typical Icelandic sweaters.

Sharing few more kisses they laid in bed cuddling again wrapped in a duvet. They weren’t tired yet, so they started watching a movie on Leon’s phone. Every now and then they would laugh randomly and stare at each other so happy to be together.

“When are you going back to Hong Kong?” Emil asked after a while not sure if he actually wanted to know the answer.

As if Leon read his mind he just smiled and burred his nose in Emil’s hair. “Does it really matter?”.

₊˚⊹♡

Master I’m TIRED of writing all the time 🥀🥀 I hate this one, you can tell I was running out of time, it was supposed to be slower and longer but ok.. 😢 I also wasn’t sure about the ending. I had an idea where Leon would leave Emil to go to the airport while he was sleeping and write his phone number with a short note, but the number would be wrong and Emil would just sit there sad waiting for him 🥀 but I’m nice not like hro who drew d*vorced hongice💔💔 hro….

ALSO I WOULD HAVE STARTED WRITING YESTERDAY IF MY DISHWASHER DIDNT BREAK FLOODING MY WHOKE KITCHEN 😭🙏 I HAD TO SAVE MY FLOOR AND NEIGHBOURS FORGIVE ME GUYS IT MUST HAVE BEEN SOME FANFICS WRITER CURSE 🥀

Hi, Can I get E36 with Kaz Brekker, thanks!

Prompt: E36. I hate everyone but you (it was only the matter of time this would be requested with Kazzy hehe)

WAIT AND SEE

Ever since Kaz hired Maartje, the dancer from one of the clubs at West Stave to distract the guards during a heist, she had taken an interest towards him. Which was a really bad idea of course, but Maartje was known as a master seducer and would get any man she would possibly want, and the Bastard of the Barrel was a challenge she had apparently decided to conquer.

But, as her attempts grew bolder and bolder, Kaz was slowly losing his patience. He was pushing the girl away, refusing her kisses, overall very clearly showing he wasn’t interested, but the girl just kept pushing him. And eventually, Kaz had enough and finally scared the woman off somehow. None of you knew how, but the woman just ran through the Crow club as if he had seen the demon Matthias claimed Kaz was carrying with him.

“At least she won’t do that again,” you laughed as someone shut the door behind Maartje. “She just got a taste of being Kaz Brekker’s enemy.”

Jesper gulped his drink down and huffed. “What makes you think he didn’t hate her ever since he hired her?”

You frowned. “Why would he have hired her if he already hated her?”

“Kaz hates everyone,” Jesper mumbled with a smirk as if it was obvious. He lifted his eyes on you and shrugged. “Well, everyone but you.”

You couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “What? Me? Are you serious?”

Jesper raised his eyebrows at you, which made your laughter die down. “Saints, you are oblivious to this while you were smart enough to see the chemistry between me and Wylan long before we felt it ourselves.”

You rolled your eyes. “You’re imagining things. He’s rude to me all the time. In case you forgot, just a few nights ago, he barked at me only because I didn’t walk fast enough in his opinion and told me I’m slowing everyone down. He didn’t care that I got injured while stumbling when we got off the ferry, and my ankle hurt.”

Jesper sighed. “He was worried that Stadwatch would see you. You would have been in danger if they had decided to target you as the weakest link of the group.”

Your eyes widened slightly. “Did… did he tell you that?”

Jesper laughed. “Of course not. But he looked behind you all the time. It was obvious he was looking for the signs of Stadwatch torches. And then he waved yours truly to come over and help you.” He smirked. “If it was me who had hurt my ankle, Kaz wouldn’t wait for me, he wouldn’t make sure I made it safely back to the Slat.”

You rolled your eyes. “That’s because he’d know you would be able to handle it even if your hands were tied behind your back and your both legs were broken.”

Jesper nodded at the bartender who handed him another drink and downed it again, before he shifted his eyes on you again. “And you would be in distress? From what I’ve seen you fight, you could also handle yourself just fine and deal with them before they’d even get a chance to call for backup.”

You frowned and tried to make up another reason why Jesper’s claim would crumble, but soon you had to admit it. He had a point, Kaz treated you a little differently from everyone else. But you still shrugged. “But he’s… Kaz. And I’m… me. He wouldn’t be interested in someone like me.”

“Well, he definitely has anyway,” Jesper chuckled. “Just wait and see. It’s going to get more and more obvious from here.”

Jesper stood, offering you another smirk and left you sit there alone. Your eyes immediately wandered up, and you found yourself wondering if you should go to the attic and confront Kaz about Jesper’s claims. But you quickly decided against it. Like Jesper said, if it was true, Kaz could get more obvious. Maybe you could go to Nina, ask her if his heart beats faster at the sight of you.

But you were scared to hear what she would answer. If she would say no, you would get disappointed because whatever you had convinced yourself, Jesper’s words made your hopes go up. But if she said yes, you wouldn’t know what to do. Show your interest back? He could reject you, pretend you’re just foolishly wishing for things that can never happen, break your heart anyway.

But still, the tickle was there, and you made a mental note to watch out for his behaviour around you in the future.

Maybe it could even make you realise Jesper is right. And maybe, against all the odds, your silly dream would come true.

Obey Me! Original Lesson 81 Script [FANMADE]

A project a friend and I have been working on for a while. All characters other than Matthias and Saffron belong to NTT Solmare.

YouTube video here: Obey Me! Original Lesson 81 [FANMADE]

Artist for Matthias and Saffron: ti ★ (@sae.yr2997)

81-1

It’s been around a month since MC returned to the Devildom…

[Student Council Room]

Lucifer: Ah, there you are.

Lucifer: You must be wondering why I’ve called you here so suddenly.

Scenario 1

MC: I’m pretty busy.

Lucifer: This is part of your job as an officer now. There are more tasks than you may believe.

Scenario 2

MC: I would like to know.

Lucifer: And you will. Very soon.

End scenario

Lucifer: This has been a particular concern of ours as of recent…

Diavolo: Ah, I wouldn’t say that in such a negative tone. But you are correct, Lucifer.

Barbatos: I am afraid I have to agree.

??? 1: Now, now…you are all so serious. What’s with the atmosphere?

Raphael: It’s normal to be formal in these situations.

??? 2: Raph, you just rhymed.

Raphael: Oh…I suppose I did.

Diavolo: MC, we would like you to meet two of our newest exchange students.

??? 1: That feels good to be recognized. But I have a question: why is RAPHAEL here?

Raphael: Hey, Saffron said she was nervous to meet MC. I thought coming along might ease her a bit.

Lucifer: That loud one there is Matthias, a vampire. The one on Raphael’s back is Saffron…another angel and close to Luke’s age.

Scenario 1

MC: A vampire?

Matthias: As vampire as you can get! My, my, MC…you’re just as cute as I imagined!

Scenario 2

MC: An angel?

Saffron: Hi, MC. I heard lots about you from Raphael and Simeon and Luke.

End scenario

Barbatos: Ahem…as to respect the Young Master’s goal of bringing harmony, it of course does not only refer to the more common species of the three worlds.

Matthias: Are you saying I’m uncommon, Barbatos? Thank you!

Matthias: But I have lived in the Devildom my entire life. It’s not like I’m a reaper.

Barbatos: …And Saffron here is a lower ranking angel, being accompanied by Raphael.

Matthias: Hey…don’t ignore me.

Raphael: But don’t get the wrong idea. She claims she isn’t here to play.

Saffron: Uh…that’s what Luke told me to say. He said we gotta report back to Michael without no intrusions.

Raphael: You know you don’t always have to go by what people say to you, right? Luke may not admit it, but he’s taken a liking to life here.

Saffron: It’s okay! I want to help.

Matthias: How young and naive…

Raphael: You hush.

Lucifer: We expect you to welcome these two and keep an eye on them while they settle in. Unfortunately, it is likely that one of the two parties will be trouble. So do with that what you will.

Barbatos: …

Matthias: …Why are you all staring at me now? Shucks, you guys! You’re going to make me blush ♡

Barbatos: Unfortunately that was no compliment.

Diavolo: Well, aside from that…I take it that having new students will be an exciting and fun time. Be sure to make yourselves at home, Saffron and Matthias.

81-3

Two new exchange students…

Now it’s my job to watch them? Why? Surely Lucifer was overexaggerating the supervision they need…

[Hallway (RAD)]

Matthias: Boo!

Saffron: EEEK!

Matthias: Ahaha! You young ones are so easily spooked, huh? How fun!

Saffron: You aren’t being very nice.

Matthias: Oh, cheer up. You’ll live, I think. Or maybe angels really are more fragile than I thought? Unfortunate…

Saffron: Wha…wait, no! Angels are super duper strong! You don’t know what you’re saying.

Matthias: I’m sure I do. You’re so scared because angels are frail, right? But that’s okay!

Saffron: Hey…

Scenario 1

MC: What’s going on?

Matthias: Oh, hello, MC! I was here just introducing myself to Young Saffron. Isn’t she adorable?

Scenario 2

MC: You guys stop.

Matthias: Dear, me! MC, please don’t misunderstand. We were simply having a fun chat.

End scenario

Saffron: Don’t listen to this bad guy here! He scared me!

Matthias: Aww, you’re cute, huh? Kids and their made-up stories…

Saffron: I’m not lying. Lying is a sin, you know!

Saffron: And MC totally saw you, right?

Matthias: Don’t bring dear MC into this, silly.

MC: I did see. You should leave her alone

Matthias: …! W-Well, I…

Matthias: Truly, it was a mere playful intent. I meant no harm! Promise…

Saffron: I heard bad guys always lie.

Matthias: Oh, Young Saffron? Is that what you believe?

Saffron: It’s what I KNOW.

Matthias: Then you must be mistaking me with someone else. I, Matthias, a truly beautiful specimen, am not a bad guy.

Saffron: Hmph. You’re native to the Devildom, aren’t you? Why did you only come to RAD now?

Matthias: Wouldn’t you like to know?

Scenario 1

MC: I had the same question.

Matthias: Well, don’t get yourself too worried about it! I’ll explain, my dear ♡

Scenario 2

MC: Because he would scare the other angels?

Matthias: Isn’t that a bold assumption? How cute.

Saffron: It’s a likely assumption.

End scenario

Matthias: The truth is, I wanted to think I had so many fans that it would be too much of a hassle to have me here at the beginning of the year…but it turns out Barbatos needed me to eat a certain amount of rats at the Demon Lord’s Castle before he’d even think about letting me attend. He said, “The Royal Academy of Diavolo is not for horseplay. Perhaps it’d be wise to reconsider your wishes if you are unwilling to change your comportment, Matthias.”

Saffron: It sounds like he knows you pretty well. Also, that was a scarily accurate impression…

Matthias: We’re only the bestest of buddies!

Saffron: I meant the horseplay thing. I would know. I like horses.

Saffron: Why is he making you eat rats though?

Matthias: It’s not particularly an issue for me. I like the flavor of rat blood but I do prefer cow or pig blood if you guys were wondering!

Saffron: Not really…

Scenario 1

MC: What about you, Saffron?

Saffron: Me? Oh…it’s like I said before. I’m here to make reports.

Scenario 2

MC: Is Saffron really here to spy on the Devildom?

Saffron: …! That’s a weird way of putting it. It makes it sound like a bad thing.

Matthias: I think that would make Young Luke a spy, too!

End scenario

Saffron: When Simeon and Luke came back after the first exchange, I was less scared of the Devildom after hearing all the good stories they had to share.

Saffron: I was pretty hopeful after that. That maybe I could get to learn about the Devildom firsthand and maybe everyone here isn’t as bad as I used to think.

Saffron: Here I am now, though. But this vampire hasn’t really made me think any higher of this realm than before I got here…

Matthias: Wha—you brat!

Saffron: Sorry?

Matthias: Oh, uhm…I mean, there’s no need to say such things, young one. I can assure you the Devildom is full of lots of fun and you’re free to do whatever you want here! It’s less strict.

Saffron: Whatever I want? I don’t know if I should be trusting YOU to tell me…

Saffron: MC. Is he being honest?

Scenario 1

MC: He’s right about it being less strict, but there are still rules.

Saffron: I see. So I shouldn’t do whatever I want.

Scenario 2

MC: The Celestial Realm has way more rules.

Saffron: Really? But…that’s not a bad thing, is it?

Matthias: It totally is.

Saffron: I wasn’t asking you!

Scenario 3

MC: Nope. A total liar.

Matthias: Ouch… For someone as cute as you, you certainly are brutal, MC…

End scenario

Matthias: I don’t typically lie unless I have a reason to.

Matthias: And plus, it’s not always a bad thing.

Saffron: It is! It’s a sin!

Matthias: A sin it may be, but what if telling the truth got you in trouble, Young Saffron?

Saffron: W…well, then you deserve the punishment.

Matthias: Is that what you believe? Do you think that even the most honest people in the world deserve punishment?

Saffron: If they told the truth for a bad reason…then it must mean whatever they did was bad! So, yes!

Saffron: Wait, I don’t know now… Ugh. You’re making me confused!

Matthias: I’m only saying, young one. What if you had to lie to protect yourself or others? Would you tell the truth and potentially get someone hurt?

Saffron: …I don’t know what you’re saying.

Matthias: Figures. How young and naive…

Saffron: I heard you the first time you said that!

[Classroom]

Satan: You seem awfully on edge today, MC.

Asmodeus: Aww…stress isn’t good for the baby sheep! What’s the matter, hmm?

Leviathan: …You have a gift for rubbing people the wrong way, Asmo.

Belphegor: I could guess it’s probably those new students. MC was put in charge of them for their first day, right?

Scenario 1

MC: They don’t seem to like each other.

Leviathan: Really? That sounds entertaining loool.

Beelzebub: But what if they broke out into a fight?

Mammon: Eh, just more entertainment for us!

Scenario 2

MC: It’s been tiring.

Satan: That’s unfortunate.

Belphegor: *sigh*...You’re always getting the tiresome jobs, aren’t you?

Satan: It’d be more evenly spread out among us if certain people actually did their work…

End scenario

Beelzebub: This is actually our first time meeting the new angel.

Leviathan: Yep. Heard she’s doing the same job as Luke but yaps a lot less LMAO.

Asmodeus: BUT they’re both equally as adorable, of course ♡

Mammon: But that ain’t the point. At least we don’t got two Fidos!

Belphegor: Matthias, on the other hand…

Satan: He’s a terror, simply put.

Belphegor: We had known about him for some time now. Apparently he broke into the Demon Lord’s Castle and was almost sent to the dungeon for an eternity.

Belphegor: He might give Mammon a run for his money when it comes to their schemes…

Mammon: Wha?! He ain’t takin’ ANY of my money!

Leviathan: You dummy. That isn’t what he meant lol.

Asmodeus: I can’t help but agree, though… Matthias truly has a talent.

Satan: Which, I assume even you don’t mean as a compliment, Asmo.

Asmodeus: Unfortunately…*sigh*

Beelzebub: But he tries to be nice. It just never usually works that way.

Mammon: Oh yeah, he’s totally obsessed with Beel.

Leviathan: TOTALLY LMAO! He’s like a mega fan!

Beelzebub: You think so?

Belphegor: Don’t listen to them, Beel…

Scenario 1

MC: Any advice you guys?

Satan: Well, the most I can say for now is that make sure they don’t kill each other.

Asmodeus: Yep! The new students have a long way ahead of them!

Scenario 2

MC: I’m already ready to go home.

Belphegor: Yeah, me, too.

Mammon: Same here.

Leviathan: Same…

End scenario

Satan: No matter whether the new exchanges get comfortable or not.

Satan: MC still has to prepare them for next week’s “problem”. Just like the rest of us are preparing as well.

Leviathan: Riiiight. Next week we’re all getting assigned a room at RAD to decorate for the Ornament Contest.

Asmodeus: Oh, I already know how pretty my assigned room will be! Cute is never impossible when it comes to Asmo ♡

Mammon: Not everyone is gonna vote for cute! Ya gotta be cool with it!

Beelzebub: Or fill the room with a bunch of food so that everyone can eat while they’re voting.

Leviathan: That’s only something you would do, Beel. Lmao.

Ornament Contest? This is the first I’ve heard of it…

Belphegor: What’s with that look, MC? Don’t tell me you didn’t hear the news.

Mammon: I can tell what they’re thinkin’ just by that look on their face. It’s screamin, “Oh, no! What am I gonna do?!” Right?

Satan: In that case, it’d be best if you started planning as soon as possible… You’re an officer now, thus meaning everyone will have higher expectations of you.

Asmodeus: Calm down, Satan! Our poor sheep doesn’t need all this pressure.

It’s true that I’m feeling a bit pressured now…

But how will I help the new exchanges, too?

81-9

[Student Council Room]

Diavolo: Good morning, everyone!

Diavolo: As you may know, starting next week is the Ornament Contest, and each of you will be assigned a room at RAD to decorate to your liking. There will be three winners depending on who gets the most votes.

Diavolo: I know you all are preparing hard, but I have come to inform you that you will be put into groups for this contest.

Satan: Figures…

Asmodeus: *sigh*...

Mammon: Well…as long as I’m in MC’s group!

Leviathan: Hey! Nuh-uh! I’m totally gonna be with MC!

Belphegor: You guys are bold. Obviously I’ll be working with MC.

Lucifer: Shut up. All of you.

Lucifer: It frankly isn’t your choice, and you will be assigned a group without grievances.

Lucifer: *sigh* It is quite embarrassing that my own brothers do not fathom the idea of cooperation…

Satan: Look the other way when you say that.

Beelzebub: I don’t know. It sounds like he means all of us.

Barbatos: We have each group assigned for the council members by now, and everything is almost set in stone as a whole.

Barbatos: Lucifer and Belphegor, you two will be a group. And then we have Satan and Mammon—and Beelzebub, Asmodeus, and Leviathan as a trio.

Belphegor: …Hmph.

Leviathan: Stuck with a normie extrovert…and Beel, too…

Asmodeus: Excuse me?

Mammon: Hey, wait! What about MC?! They should totally join MY group if they don’t got one!

Satan: I hate to agree with Mammon on anything, but he’s right. I thought every member had a team at this point.

Lucifer: MC is going to be working with Saffron and Matthias.

Leviathan: …!

Mammon: ?!

Lucifer: Don’t act so surprised… MC has been looking after them since yesterday. I don’t need those two going off the rails unsupervised just because they’re new.

Belphegor: Can’t say I didn’t see that coming, but…is it really okay to pair Saffron and Matthias together? Like, shouldn’t one of us take one of them and MC takes the other?

Lucifer: I already said you will all learn to cooperate. That does not mean just you boisterous six.

Leviathan: Yikes…good luck, MC. I’ll just be imagining all the time we didn’t spend working on this contest together… *sulk*

Barbatos: …

Barbatos: You will all be assigned your rooms first thing tomorrow.

Barbatos: Already make sure to keep in mind what you may want to plan for the contest. It is usually best to discuss with your group confidentiality.

Mammon: Why?

Satan: So that no one steals our idea, idiot…

Mammon: WHAT’D YOU SAY?!

Satan: Do you really want me to repeat myself?

Belphegor: You probably wanna do something boring, right, Lucifer?

Lucifer: …I will not speak a word. And that was rude.

Belphegor: *yawn*...

Leviathan: …

Beelzebub: …

Asmodeus: …Oh, lighten up, you two! I can’t be the only one coming up with ideas here.

Leviathan: Yeah, well, you can be the leader… You’ll just think all my ideas are lame anyways.

Beelzebub: I’m hungry…

Asmodeus: Oh, for goodness sake, Beel!

Barbatos: Are you alright, MC? You’ve been rather quiet.

Scenario 1

MC: It’s hard to think with all this noise

Barbatos: I can understand that.

Barbatos: These brothers really are a handful, aren’t they?

Scenario 2

MC: I wonder how my group will do.

Barbatos: You needn’t worry about that too much. Try to relax your mind.

End scenario

Barbatos: …*sigh*

Barbatos: I do hope for you to watch over Matthias for me especially.

Barbatos: He hides many things he does not show on his face. Remember that.

81-11

[Cafeteria]

Mephistopheles: Never did I think more of you would show up. Or, maybe that was just wrong on my end. I SHOULD have known…

Saffron: …

Mephistopheles: Shy, are you? Or are you just intimidated by the demon species in general? Figures.

Saffron: …

Mephistopheles: …

Mephistopheles: I am only speaking from honesty. It’s not like I’m trying to scare you or anything.

Saffron: Do you…

Mephistopheles: Pardon?

Saffron: Do you…do you like horses?

Mephistopheles: …Horses? That was an unexpected response. But at least I know you can speak now.

Mephistopheles: But to answer your question, yes. I do in fact like horses.

Saffron: Really? You like horses?

Mephistopheles: I am not repeating myself.

Saffron: That’s super cool, Mister! I really like horses, too!

Mephistopheles: I…

Saffron: I think horses are super pretty and cute and…

Mephistopheles: Here.

Saffron: Huh? What’s this?

Mephistopheles: Come by the Newspaper Club room sometime. You might like it.

Saffron: Oh…thanks! I will!

Scenario 1

MC: Making friends already?

Saffron: Oh, MC!

Saffron: Do you think that was a friendly invite? He seemed sorta mad…

Scenario 2

MC: Well, that was nice of him.

Saffron: Oh, hey, MC!

Saffron: Is he normally not nice? Is that what you mean?

End scenario

Saffron: I want to make friends, but…demons are hard to approach.

Saffron: Not that I don’t like them or anything, though! They’re just…I guess it’s what that mister said, right? They’re intimidating…

Saffron: But I trust what Barbatos said…that mostly everyone is loyal to Diavolo.

Saffron: Mostly everyone…

Saffron: …

Saffron: …Anyway, did you come to talk to me?

. . .

Saffron: What? Really? Me, you, and the vampire mister got put into a group for a contest?

Saffron: That’s…well, I guess there’s no alternative, right? Is that the right word? Luke uses it sometimes.

Saffron: *sigh*...

Saffron: I’m not mad at you, okay? I know it wasn’t your choice. But that vampire mister really knows how to push all my buttons.

Saffron: Luke always said that the demons would be the pesky ones, and I didn’t even begin to think about vampires!

Saffron: I shouldn’t take it out on you.

Saffron: You know what? I’m gonna confront him about his badness! When I see him again, I’ll…I’ll tell him off for being mean. Trust me!

Scenario 1

MC: That’s right, Saffron! Put him in his place.

Saffron: …Hehe. Thanks!

Scenario 2

MC: But remember you still have to work with him eventually.

Saffron: Yeah, I know…but for now this is all I can do to stick up for myself.

End scenario

Saffron: Don’t worry, MC. I’ve got this!

81-14

[Common Room (RAD)]

Thirteen: Man…

Matthias: I haven’t even been here that long…

Thirteen: And you’re in detention? That sucks.

Matthias: Hey! You’re in detention, too!

Thirteen: But this isn’t my first time being in detention. You, however?

Matthias: Is that supposed to be… Wait, how OFTEN are you in here?

Thirteen: Dunno. Lost count.

Matthias: That’s actually…kind of a power move.

Thirteen: Cool? You think so?

Matthias: Duh! If I was in here everyday it’d be clear to me how much attention they’re giving me! Like, are you obsessed or what? Hehe!

Thirteen: What a weird way of thinking. But I like it!

Matthias: Thank you, thank you.

Thirteen: Thirteen, by the way.

Matthias: Thirteen? That feels familiar. But I’m Matthias!

Thirteen: Yeah, yeah, I know who you are. You’re one of the new ones. It’s nice to meet you.

Matthias: You, as well!

Scenario 1

MC: Matthias?

Matthias: What a wonderful surprise! Hello, MC!

Matthias: I suppose it is rather embarrassing for you to see me in such a place, huh? Hehe…

Scenario 2

MC: Why are you in detention?

Matthias: MC! You almost startled me, dear~

Matthias: I’m afraid if I told you I’d have to kill you afterwards…

Matthias: Just kidding! Ahaha, the look on your face!

End scenario

Matthias: I happened to steal some things from the garden, and unfortunately I was caught… They sent me here as punishment.

Thirteen: Geez, you’re bad...

Thirteen: Hey, MC. I heard you had to look after the new guys while they’re getting settled in.

Matthias: It’s the dream! Unless you’re that young angel.

Thirteen: Saffron? Does she not like you?

Matthias: Oh, please. Everybody likes me, dearest Thirteen!

Thirteen: Okay, calm down. We aren’t that close.

Matthias: It’s only an endearment.

MC: Actually, I came to tell Matthias that us three are working on the Ornament Contest together.

Matthias: Oh! Is that so?

Matthias: How fun! They chose me, the lovely Matthias, to be part of MC’s group. Saffron is lucky, too!

Thirteen: I got put with Luke and Raphael.

Thirteen: As long as I get to eat while we work. Luke makes good sweets.

Matthias: Luke? Hmm…I’ve only ever eaten things Barbatos makes. But if Luke is also a baker, I’m definitely going to ask him sometime!

Thirteen: But you can’t go stomping into Purgatory Hall demanding he bakes for you.

Matthias: Don’t worry! The lovely Matthias has a way with his words. I have a talent!

Thirteen: Ooh… I wanna see how that ends up playing out…

Scenario 1

MC: Are you picky?

Matthias: Hmm…I suppose you could put it that way. I’m a blood drinker, so it’s just sort of natural for me to prefer things that give me proper nutrition. The food you guys eat is not that pleasant.

Scenario 2

MC: Why do you only eat Barbatos’ sweets?

Matthias: He knows what I like. It’s hard for me to trust anyone else with my food, you know? But anything that isn’t sweet is a big no for me. Besides, I really only need blood or else I’m weak.

End scenario

Thirteen: Ahaha. You sound like a little kid!

Matthias: Eh? I am not quite sure how I’m meant to take that…so thank you!

81-17

[Garden]

Matthias: Hmm…we’ve been waiting for a while now.

Matthias: You don’t think Young Saffron bailed on us, do you?

Scenario 1

MC: I’m sure that’s not the case.

Matthias: Optimistic, I see. That’s a good mindset!

Scenario 2

MC: She’s probably just running a little late.

Matthias: Running late, huh? I didn’t think angels even understood the concept of that…

End scenario

Saffron: Sorry, you guys! I’m here!

Matthias: Oh, dear! Aren’t you all out of breath?

Saffron: Yeah, I ran…

Saffron: I’m super sorry. I just came back from the Newspaper Club room and I totally lost track of time!

Matthias: Hehe. Are you in the Newspaper Club, Young Saffron?

Saffron: Uhm…not yet, but I’m thinking about it.

Matthias: If you join you should totally write a story about me! I’ll even pay you.

Saffron: Really?! I mean…wait! No! I can’t be driven by money!

Saffron: And why would I even write a story about YOU anyways?! All this time you’ve been mean to me!

Matthias: All this time? It’s only the second day…

Saffron: Yeah! That says a lot, doesn’t it? I…

Saffron: Uhmmm…

Scenario 1

MC: You okay?

Saffron: …

Scenario 2

MC: Tell him what you want to say.

Saffron: …!

End scenario

Matthias: You’re awfully pale, aren’t you?

Saffron: …Never mind. It’s nothing.

It looks like Saffron’s still too scared to confront him…

Matthias: Ah. Well, then, I shall take your word for it.

Matthias: But never be shy to tell me anything! Hehe.

Saffron: …Sure.

. . .

Saffron: Now, if we set it up like this, we can make a lot more room for whatever we want to put in our room.

Matthias: That’s a bit of hopeful wishing. Keep in mind we don’t know which room is ours yet. It could be any size and shape.

Saffron: Are you even listening? I’m clearly saying this will be good and leaves options open for a lot of areas in RAD.

Matthias: Hm, I suppose I wasn’t listening then. Could you explain one more time?

Saffron: …

Scenario 1

MC: You should pay more attention, Matthias.

Matthias: Aw, you aren’t going to back me up, MC?

Saffron: Why would they?

Scenario 2

MC: Saffron, explain again.

Saffron: …Alright. Only because you asked and not the vampire mister. We have to set it up this way and it will give us more room to work.

Matthias: I have a name, you know…

End scenario

Matthias: I, in fact, also have my own ideas. Wouldn’t you two care to hear them?

Saffron: What is it?

Matthias: Well, I wanted to go for more of a scary theme! Like, wouldn’t it just catch people’s eyes? We’d be sure to scare everyone into their votes!

Saffron: That sounds…forceful.

Matthias: But you agree that it would work, yes?

Saffron: I don’t know. We gotta go with something that touches people’s hearts, I think. That’s how Simeon always words things.

Matthias: Ah, so something motivational, huh?

Matthias: Well, you’d SO be motivated to run away if we had a scary room! Right?

Saffron: But that’s not a good thing!

Saffron: We gotta have people’s hearts and souls in it when they vote for us. Like, they really, really, want to! That’s what matters.

Matthias: Oh, Young Saffron…is that truly what you think? What’s important is that we win!

Saffron: I want to win, but…I also want everyone to actually like our room. It’s not worth winning if everyone feels forced into it.

Matthias: *sigh*...How young and—

Saffron: Naive! Are you going to say that every time? Do you really think that about me?

Saffron: Ugh! I’ve had it with you!

Matthias: Oh, my! Young Saffron, where are you going?

Matthias: …

Matthias: She’s gone. Was it something I said, do you reckon?

Scenario 1

MC: You were too harsh with her.

Matthias: Harsh? Me? I didn’t think…

Scenario 2

MC: You need to apologize to Saffron.

Matthias: Oh…you think so? But what did…

End scenario

Matthias: …

Matthias: I kind of had a feeling she was upset with me.

Matthias: I wasn’t going to admit it at first, but now that she’s gone…

Matthias: Yeah…maybe she really is hurt.

Matthias: I guess I should talk to her tomorrow, huh?

Matthias: And…I’ll apologize. *sigh*...

81-19

[Living Room (Purgatory Hall)]

Simeon: Hello, MC. I might have a hunch at what brings you here.

Raphael: Worried about Saffron, huh?

Raphael: I honestly wasn’t expecting her to come in crying right after school, but she’s feeling a bit better now.

Simeon: Correct, indeed. And I was about to meet with Mephistopheles for our room consultation…

Raphael: Ah, right. You got paired with him.

Scenario 1

MC: Where is she?

Raphael: She’s eating cake with Luke in the kitchen. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind if you went to go talk to her.

Scenario 2

MC: I want to talk to Saffron.

Raphael: Go ahead. She’s in the kitchen with Luke.

End scenario

. . .

[Kitchen (Purgatory Hall)]

Saffron: This cake is good, Luke!

Luke: You mean it?!

Saffron: I do!

Luke: Wow…thanks. I’m glad!

Luke: Hmm? Oh, MC! You scared me.

Saffron: MC?

Luke: I heard everything that happened, trust me! I can’t believe that vampire!

Saffron: Well…

Scenario 1

MC: How are you feeling?

Saffron: Better. Thanks for asking…

Scenario 2

MC: Matthias wants to apologize to you.

Saffron: …

Saffron: It won’t mean anything if he tries something like that again.

End scenario

Saffron: …

Saffron: I really don’t care if he says sorry or not. Or maybe I do.

Saffron: Ugh…I don’t know what to feel! I think that the vampire mister is wrong, but then why am I so upset?!

Luke: Saffron, it’s okay to be upset!

Luke: I’m upset too, to be honest…

Luke: And it would be nice of Matthias to apologize if he really meant it. You wouldn’t want him to apologize not from the heart, right?

Saffron: Yeah…I guess that’s right.

Saffron: *sigh*...I don’t get that guy. And it’s hard to stay not mad when he’s always making me so mad. I just want to decorate our room and have fun…

Luke: I guess we can only wait until tomorrow. Cheer up in the meantime, okay? Don’t let him get you down!

MC: You’re strong, Saffron.

Saffron: Really? You mean that?

Saffron: Hehe. Thank you. Makes me wish I was strong enough to actually tell him that he’s so mean to me.

Luke: You know…it’s possible that he knows. What if he’s just doing it because he knows you’ll react in the way he wants?

Saffron: But isn’t that what everyone does to you, Luke?

Luke: Wha, hey! This isn’t even about me.

Saffron: Hehe! I just did it to you!

Luke: W-Welll…I knew that!

Luke: Hmph. At least you’re feeling better now.

Luke: MC, do you want to try my cake? Saffron said it was good, so hopefully you’ll enjoy it!

Luke: Here, I’ll cut you a slice!

Scenario 1

MC: Thank you, Luke.

Luke: Of course!

Scenario 2

MC: What kind of cake?

Luke: Red velvet! I hope that’s okay…

End scenario

Saffron: I think Luke makes the best cakes ever.

Luke: Really? I-I mean! Thank you! Humbly, of course!

Saffron: Hehe…

81-A

[Hallway (RAD)]

Mephistopheles: …

Thirteen: You’re always standing and frowning.

Mephistopheles: …

Thirteen: Okay, then… I wasn’t looking for you anyway. I think Matthias already went home…

Mephistopheles: You’re interested in the new exchanges?

Thirteen: Matthias and I actually share a lot in common. Not that you would understand what that’s like.

Mephistopheles: Wh…are you implying that I can’t relate to anyone? The assumptions!

Thirteen: Okay, then spill.

Mephistopheles: Why do I have to tell you?

Thirteen: So that we know you're not bluffing.

Mephistopheles: Who’s “we”?! And that doesn’t mean I’m bluffing.

Mephistopheles: *sigh* I’m currently just hoping that I’ll be able to recruit a new member for the Newspaper Club. I think she was pretty amazed when she came by to see earlier.

Thirteen: Sounds boring, so I’ll leave you to that.

Thirteen: I gotta go schedule a time to meet up with Raphael and Luke.

Mephistopheles: Oh, right… Simeon said he would meet me today. I nearly forgot.

Thirteen: You should really stay on top of it.

Mephistopheles: I…that’s a LOT coming from you…!

81-C

[Hall (Demon Lord's Castle)]

Barbatos: I had a feeling you would be here already.

Matthias: Of course, Barb! I can’t have you missing me too much.

Barbatos: *sigh*...I could have sworn all the entrances were locked, though...

Matthias: Oh, yeah, they were. I came in through the floor.

Barbatos: Well…it’s actually convenient that you’re here now. I needed to discuss something important with you.

Matthias: Ooh, important, huh? You can tell me anything, Barbatos!

Barbatos: How I wish I could…ahem…

Barbatos: Anyway, it has come to my attention that Solomon will be coming back to the Devildom very soon. But since he’s coming during the middle of the Ornament Contest, he will not be participating.

Matthias: Wha…huh? THAT’S the important news?

Barbatos: It is important if you wish to prepare to keep your sanity, yes?

Matthias: I guess you were thinking about me by telling me, but…

Matthias: I wanted to come now because he wasn’t going to be here! That’s not fair.

Barbatos: You must compose yourself, Matthias. *sigh* I really do not understand the issue you have with him. You two are more similar than you may think.

Matthias: Don’t ever say that!

Barbatos: It was a simple observation. But I cannot change the fact that he is coming.

Matthias: Yeah, I know… Thanks for telling me, Barbatos.

Matthias: I’ll be sure to greet him with the biggest smiley face I have! Hehe…

Barbatos: Oh, dear…
