#managing his mood and also sometimes catching crossfire just because he's there. not because he did anything wrong and like

[kaibacorpintern]

im increasingly interested in writing fic about kaiba as a volatile, bull-headed, difficult person to get along with, and the effect this has on his relationships and the people around him... how mokuba deals with it, how atem deals with it, etc... loving someone in their entirety, flaws and all, while at the same time recognizing the relationship can be difficult or frustrating or upsetting... kaiba as a person capable of tremendous grace and self-reflection AND tremendous selfishness and high-intensity emotions and the people who love him know this... gnawing my bone, circling my enclosure...

Unheard | A Severus Snape Headcanon

This is my very own interpretation of the character because I headcanon him as a mixture of various people that I’ve met in my life: a child I met on the school bus; a university professor; a friend of mine, a relative, etc. They all exhibit traits that I recognize in Severus, which only brought the character to life for me.  

Born to a father who was impatient, volatile, lazy and irascible.

Unable to keep up a job, always in a bad mood, angry at everything and everyone.

He was once happily married, but when he found out that his wife and son were magical, he started treating them as something less human

If he didn’t ignore them altogether, he would mock them for their “strange ways”

Eileen and Tobias fought a lot and Severus was sometimes caught in the crossfire

Severus was unlike any child his age, he was precocious, very serious, but bright and inquisitive and preferred the company of adults

Soon everything his father did began to disgust him, and it brought out the worst in him

He was intelligent and quick-witted, and he soon began to hold people to the same standard

He was never shy, but he had trouble being “funny” and “easy-going” like other people and was unable to crack a joke without offending anyone

Severus had a talent for finding weak spots and secretly feared people would be able to read him the same because his father had always managed to humiliate him

He sometimes used the same rhetoric his father used on him with other people who he thought couldn’t match his intelligence

He never played or watched quidditch, but he was nevertheless very competitive and always compared himself with students his age

Sometimes competition would turn into jealousy and it slowly consumed him

Severus had learned from an early age to never complain because his father had made sure to keep him under his thumb but as he got older, he tried to find his voice and speak up more

He felt that it was much harder for him to be heard compared to other people and he couldn’t understand why a “no” wasn’t enough or why he was brushed off so easily

He had a very clear image of how things had to work which made him appear rigid and opinionated

He also tended to overthink things and he’d carefully examine every situation before acting, in fact, most of the times, he just preferred not to act at all before acting wrongly

Uncomfortable truths escaped his lips quicker than he could catch them and he never found the right words to say

Small talk and compliments were way too trivial; he preferred an actual intellectual, “deep” conversation.

@rebelside : Not really my opinion, but how I read him

Pale Demon! Michael Langdon Head canons

Cause we got headcanons of all of the other things for this Dramatic Butt (Don’t lie all, that's another reason we love him)… Let’s talk about his demonic Form, shall we? 

Michael’s relationship with his “demonic” appearance, like everything else about him, is well... Complicated.

When he was little (well when he looked his proper age anyway) Michael always felt like something was hiding under his skin. Lurking and striking at odd moments.

It started with the dead mice and rats, he wasn't sure why he would do it, only that something in him wanted to “gift” Constance with... Something. It was purely instinctive and he really didn’t have much control over it.

To be honest, it sometimes scared him as much as it did his grandmother. Especially when the urges extended to other small animals like cats, and rabbits (I will forever headcanon that he loves animals as they are a bit more accepting the people TBH)

But it was when he lived in the Murder House did he discover it wasn’t just some feeling… This other part of him, the part of him that was a monster, actually existed.

It was barely a few days after Constance died, just when Ben was starting to treat him that he came (pardon the pun) face to face with it.

He doesn't quite remember what triggered it the first time. Was he was trying a new trick with a Rubix cube? Was he trying to practice tying his shoes? Hard to say, all he knew is he was frustrated and angry, he glanced up to a nearby mirror… What he saw made him scream.

Ben came running then but Michael couldn't tell him what he saw. Couldn't put it into words. He had nightmares about it for weeks.

After he started listening to the darkness of the house (And after Tate was a fucking asshole IMHO) he became curious of that face that was so much like his own yet was so… Different so inhuman. Did he actually see it or was it a trick of the light?

It took him a few tries and Michael almost passed out but he managed to make it show one or twice.

He couldn't help but notice how his skin would turn paler than snow, how strange lines of black and gray crossed it like the odd patterns he had seen on the countertops in the kitchen. And his eyes… They became blacker than night.

Michael wasn’t sure if he liked the “other face” as he would call it but he wasn’t afraid of it anymore after that.

When Michael used his powers the first few times… He would sometimes accidentally trigger that demonic appearance. This is why his appearance changed when he destroyed the souls of the newest owners of the Murder House.

When Ben ultimately abandoned him He started to practice these powers more and more. Trying to make it so he could hide this other appearance (as some part of him knew he would have to hide it) and trying to understand them now that he didn’t have anyone telling him he shouldn't so… Why not?

It was while using these powers and triggering that other appearance that the signs started to show above the signs started to show within and outside the Murder House, like a ripple when you throw a stone in a pond. And of course…

These would lead certain parties to take notice and well…

When he came to live with Ms. Mead he soon came to master hiding the other appearance he also came to learn to use it like a weapon at her insistence.

He was the son of Satan after all and- like his powers- he would be able to whip people into shape by showing his resemblance especially when it came time to lead the masses to the End Times. And thus he’s used since… Well until he meets you but more about that later.  

Let’s talk some basics shall we about his Demonic Appearance (as we only really get glimpses in the show).

Along with running far warmer then any human should in either form.  Michael’s touch seems to almost be… Like a contradiction. It can be both rough and smooth at the same time

His scent even changes. Normally he seems to smell like whatever attracts others to him (if you’re one who likes vanilla, of course, he will smell like that, if you prefer woodsy scents he will smell like cedar or pine and so on) but his demonic form smells more like amber (what some say is the scent of angels both in heaven and fallen) and woodsmoke. If he’s angry… Expect the scents of fire and brimstone to follow him like incense.

He doesn't possess horns, much to his dismay but suspects that may be because he's not a fallen angel like his father and his subjects.

Along with claws (that he will show on occasion), he does possess the cloven hooves and tail that was seen in his ultrasound though. He actually discovered them when he got a little older, pretty much before he became a student at Hawthorne. And it makes sense as he's the son of Lucifer and a high prince of hell.

But… those features are actually really uncomfortable for him.

They don’t hurt per se but… They are like a part of him that that doesn't really fit right (although they look really good on the statues of his father and his subjects). So he generally doesn't like them all that much thus he never really shows them.

Ms Mead really loved the tail and hooves herself but she understood it was always a bit too much for him and let him keep them hidden.

But he would sometimes let them show for her for a brief moment or two just to see her smile. If he has a significant other who likes them he may do the same if the mood strikes him but more on that later.

Okay… Now let’s talk about the things I know you all want to hear about with Pale Demon! Michael… What he’s like with a significant other. 

When you become a major part of his life Michael is… Really hesitant on showing this other side of himself with you.

He’s come to use the face of the Pale Demon inside him as a weapon more than anything, both to prove his power and to frighten his father’s followers into submission. But you…

You’re different. The last thing he wants to do is scare you because he was scared the first time he saw it too.

You would probably discover his true face or his demonic face in a dire circumstance.

Either by being caught in the crossfire of a fight between him and a witch from the Coven or by catching the end of an argument between him and a Satanist who thinks you’re going to lead him off his “chosen” path.  

It would be a bit of a shock of course, and probably a bit frightening as Michael is beyond pissed when in the dim light of the room you see his angelic features suddenly turn harsh, pale, and demonic. Beautiful cerulean eyes turning blacker than night.

After the threat is taken care of in a pretty ferocious, ( probably pretty bloody as far as the witch is concerned) way, it will hit him… You saw it. And he will be fucking terrified.

He will take the form you know all too well, unable to meet your eyes then, scared to see your reaction. When he knows you are okay it will be the one time he dares to use his powers on you, making you fall asleep instantly.

He’ll run to catch you and hold you close. Thinking it will be the last time he’ll be able to do so before he takes you home via transmutation. Leaving you there safe for the night as he goes back to the Robotics lab and his office, waiting for the morning to come as he knows what happens next is all you.

From this point on it can go one of two ways...

If you don’t reach out to him that morning, scared of what he really is it will break his heart but… Michael will understand. He didn’t think he was ever really deserving of you although he hoped… Really hoped you would choose him anyway.

He’ll do everything in his power to make sure you are safe in this world and of course during the End of Times. However, you will probably never know it and you may not really see him. But he will still love you… Although at a distance and he probably always will.

But if you do reach out to him after seeing his real face… Oh, that is when things get interesting.

You’re pretty annoyed when you wake up realizing what happened wasn’t some strange dream.

In fact, you are more pissed off then annoyed. First off, He did the one thing he swore he wouldn’t do and used his powers on you without your permission, the ass.  Second off… How long had he been able to do that and not tell you?! You two talked about everything right? What the actual hell?

You don’t call him then… Oh no, you are going to demand to his face as to what the fuck happened and if there was something he wanted to say to you.

Even Venable gives you a wide berth and she just rings you in (smirking, probably thinking your anger was directed at Mutt and Jeff). You all but burst in the lab where Mutt and Jeff are working breathing hard and saying, “Where is he?!” the two sort of coked up scientists are both in shock as they had never seen such a pretty man or women so damn angry before pointing in the direction of Michael’s office.

Michael was expecting a lot of things as he sat by the phone in his office. Hoping you would call. Imagine his surprise when you burst in going, “What the hell was that, Langdon?!”

So starts a wee bit of a tiff between you. In between the screaming Michael admits he wanted to protect you from this side of himself because everyone he cared about whose known about it. You, of course, point out he was scared you would be terrified of him like that and yet here you are.

Now that you know you demand to see his demonic face again. He's reluctant until you threaten to walk out (he thinks for good) and then you come face to face with the demon you just had a glimpse of before.

Now that you had a better look… Michael’s demonic face was… Well, certainly inhuman of course with deep-set black eyes, skin pale as death, and lines of black like cracks in stone trying to keep the darkness at bay but… There was something else that really caught your eye.

Michael wasn’t meeting your eyes. In fact, he was pointedly not looking at you as if he didn’t want to see your reaction. And the fact that Michael may have looked demonic but still much like himself… That made your heart twist.

You found yourself reaching out, touching his cheek. Marveling at how warm he felt and how his skin felt thicker, rougher yet there was something smooth about it… like touching living marble. He looked at you then.

You told him then not to hide anything from you. You knew getting into this relationship that he was going to be… Well, different. He was the Antichrist for hell’s sakes.

“You don’t have horns or cloven feet do you?” “Well…” “...Seriously?”

After that, he resolves not to hide that appearance from you. He doesn’t show it off but when the occasion calls for it but you cannot deny something in you is drawn to it just as you are drawn to all of him  

Don't admit that to him though. He'll be a smug little shit about that for days unless you kiss him to shut him up.

And now for the NSFW stuff… Cause I'm sure you thirsty lovelies are as parched as I am. 

The first time you propose Michael show his other face in the bedroom… He is utterly speechless.

Michael would be lying if he didn’t say he hadn’t been tempted a few times to let that side of him rear its head but he was terrified that maybe it would be too much for you or… That he would lose control…

Everything in his demonic form was much more intense, every sense heightened. Pain and pleasure… even more so. He was his father’s son after all. So sex… Is going to be even more intense for him and you both

He proposes small things at first, you’re still getting used to this other form after all.

Things like touching you and you feel that soft touch on your skin turn a little rough, or looking up to see your expression while eating you out/sucking you off and it's those coal black eyes looking up at you, or him briefly turning into that pale demonic form just as your cumming and he's all but pounding into you, trying to chase his own pleasure

Mind you this guy can be like the Energizer Bunny when it comes (hehe, I'm a child) to getting you off normally but this is the Antichrist on a mission. He's going to make damn well sure you are comfortable with this other side of him before he goes full switch.

When you finally get him to just fuck you as the pale demon… Well, expect all hell to break loose.

He's not cruel per say but he's going to tease and wring pleasure out of you over and over and over again until you are an overstimulated mess. Only then will he let himself let go hotly deep inside you.

Seriously, have fun walking the next day sweetie (if he allows you to do so).

He's super attentive though, almost like a puppy the next day. So scared he may have pushed too far as he did things to you in his demonic form he's secretly always wanted to do but feared you wouldn’t want or hate him for.

It appears that being with you like that made it impossible to hold those sinful urges back a second longer.

If you ask him for more of it later, if you start to crave it like he was… Michael will all but fall to his knees before you and utterly worship the ground you walk on but first… The king must service his loyal and loving subject.

Also… Beware of Halloween/ Samhain. Doesn't matter what gender you are, that Pale Demon has one thing on his mind… Who knew that a thin veil triggers a demonic breeding season?

Please feel free to send me more via ask box. I can talk about Demon Michael all day.
