you've despised sovereign monasteries since you were old enough to form an opinion. living a rebellious life was one way to seize control until you were forced into a journey of purity. being a nun was one of the best things, you thought, until you started working side by side with priest seunghan. he had the same past as you but became reformed after joining the cult. to others, you pair to set a perfect example of evolution, but as time goes on, the longer you spend with seunghan alone has you questioning what your morals are, if purity is worth it, if your convent is worth it.

୨୧ inspired ｜ethel cain

you've never felt a stronger love than when you saw anton presenting his new plan for your cult for the first time. he was older than you, twenty at the time when you were thirteen, but you knew that was the man you were going to marry. the man you needed to marry. over the years, you slowly corrupted yourself into nothing in hopes of getting his attention, but got you nowhere but outcasted for not following in God's true will and for not being holy and pure. but that didn't matter as long as you got closer to anton. at eighteen, your parents had enough and sent you to his reform school, and he was as perfect as ever. thinking you have a chance until one of the girls says he married, and the world around you tumbles. I mean, it's not your fault what happens. whats a girl supposed to do when shes in love?

Hii! Could I request a semi-romantic (idk what to call it lol basically like a lil soft/gentle romance) Alastor x reader? Reader is also an overlord but unlike Alastor, who's always smiling and looking for entertainment, they are very serious and rises in the ranks by threats and fear rather than making deals or contracts.

Alastor X Reader [Romantic]

In which the both of you are overlords, though you are far less cheerful and use darker means to accelerate your power. Reader is genderneutral.

Usually, Alastor hated the quiet, stoic types—those who thought they were too important for others

Well, he hated a lot of things, but he didn't let it show

The first time you met was at the overlord meeting after another extermination; you were one of the newer overlords

He could tell you were new because you didn't seem sure of where you were going, but you followed him and the strange egg attached to his hip the moment you realized who he was

Your face didn't move much, and your eyes seemed dull and unreadable

His first instinct was to judge, but he stopped himself

If you were an overlord, certainly you were of interest to him

During the meeting, he found your voice soothing; it stayed at a neutral tone, almost melodic with how smooth it carried, he listened carefully to how you conducted your speech carefully

Judging by Carmilla's words, you had overtaken two of the lesser overlords in your first year, and you had an unshakable grip on your territories

Impressive, but not unique

You weren't very talkative when he tried to strike up a conversation, but you never ignored him, always providing at least some kind of answer, even if it was repetitive

He was not someone you'd try against anyhow; no, he had a feeling some of your motives had been inspired by his own

Whenever someone tried to talk back to either of you, you delt with them and twisted their minds in ways that had them questioning themselves

You were just so interesting, and you were one of the first to not ask him for anything

Alastor is very traditional, so after months of being around one another, he found it appropriate to invite you out for tea, where he asked you to intertwine fates with his

The answer was probably the most emotional he'd ever seen you

" Certainly. "

How touching that you said more than yes or no!

But really, you are his pride and joy, someone he only introduces to those he really trusts or really loathes

If you ever show any outward emotion or ask something, he is always by your side

It's so rare, and every its time, it'says for a logical reason

Alastor might tease you to smile a tad more, even if he knows he's never seen you do it unless you've just gotten the upper hand in a fight

Both of you are fine just being in each other's company, you sit next to each other at any gathering or link arms; more often than not, it's Alastor initiating physical contact

A total power couple, though!

Author's Note - Thank you so much for requesting! I wasn't sure what you meant by gentle romance so I just kept it at the same level I usually work with. Despite this, I hope it is still what you are looking for!

P.S; this is my 100th post! It is also the last I have in my inbox, so my requests are now open.

Saw you asking for Xiao requests and thought I could send some!

This might be a little odd one, but... A self-aware Xiao finding out that he has fans like us who love him kinda romantically? It could be fun!

Xiao Waxes Poetic About Fandom

Xiao x gn!reader, 1.5k words. Anon I'm so sorry but I had actually no idea how to write this adgvhfcdcb. I tried my best but I kept giggling about lost 50/50s and and my 80 cr Xiao never critting without Motivation (crit food). I actually considered making hcs instead but I kept writing drabbles instead. Then I tried to write a fic, but kept writing... hcs... Perhaps if inspiration strikes me I'll revisit this idea someday, but! For now, allow me to present you with what feels like a raccoon in a tiara and a feather duster dress-

If Xiao could control player summons, he’d be yours already.

Unfortunately, he cannot- ergo you’ve made a hundred and forty pulls with not a Xiao in sight.

You've never hated Diluc more in your life, he can tell. Poor Diluc.

There are twenty minutes left for his banner to disappear for Devs know how long. He knows your luck is decidedly not his fault, but feels guilty nonetheless. What if he’s treated the same as Ganyu? Or, Devs forbid, Eula?

You really did look forward to getting him, building him. He was so startled by your devotion- seated on that banner, he could see you anxiously open your inventory, check if you had enough primogems. You pre-farmed for him. You made silly little rituals for him(he winced when they failed). It was absurd. He was a high investment hyper carry. Why bother?

But you pulled Furina, and you pulled Faruzan. You don't have Xianyun (yet, he thinks, in both awe and alarm as he sees her ascension and talent materials in your inventory.)

He cannot fathom it.

Perhaps you wanted Xianyun for herself- but then you also have Faruzan with all of her constellations lit up. And you also have Furina- and god, nevermind, you really did want him. The set you intend to put on Xianyun is the Song of Days Past. Four piece. With energy recharge substats.

You’re so close. Seventy. You get Layla. He echoes you when he mutters “but you’re not even on the banner!”

Twenty minutes left. You caress the screen. (That's a bit much.) Your brows are pinched together, lower lip worried by your teeth.

“I might have to break my free to play status,” you whisper.

It's not worth it! He wants to scream. Don't do it!

You bite your lip again as you find a chest. Primogem count: 159.

Oh dear.

“It’s fine,” you whisper. “It’s fine. This is fine.”

Xiao wishes he could make you go to bed somehow. You’ve been awake for hours. It’s fine even if you don’t pull him now, he returns like clockwork every lantern rite- hm? What are you pulling your Tighnari out for?

He knows you never really bothered to build him prior, purely because farming those fungi was a pain. He watches as you make Yelan rush up to the cliffs of the very Chasm before switching to Tighnari. When he realises what you’re doing, he buries his face in his palms. Your party members groan. Xiao wonders if you’re serious- you want to hit a bird in flight? With your aim?

“FOOL!” Faruzan shrieks. “Attack the ruin guard at Stormbearer instead! That achievement is much easier to get- Hat Guy, do something-“

“Too late.” He smacks his forehead with the back of his hand. “It’s started.”

Shing! Nothing Special, Just Practice.

What-?

You whoop, then cough and fall silent, anxiously peeking out of your room. Your fingers shake with trepidation as they land on the screen.

Wish x1.

Xiao feels a familiar tug as he hurtles through the air.

✦—————————————✦

Much to his immense surprise, this is an incredibly familiar story. Every time his banner rolls around there’s people that want him- spend for him, run amok collecting primogems for him. Farming for him. Giving him increasingly prettier and stronger polearms. Thrusting the Staff of Homa in his hands (sorry, Hu Tao).

He’s always a bit baffled, unless the person is someone already inclined to spend. He’s not a good choice for anyone’s account. He’s incredibly unflexible. A bit niche even. He doesn’t even do what his element is meant for.

Yet somehow you seem to enjoy running around with him. Making him special little layouts in the teapot. Insisting he collects your rewards every time. Making him speak to Katheryne every day (it’s so awkward every time, and she keeps laughing when your back is turned).

He remembers doing the Chasm quest with you. When it had begun, you were nothing short of gleeful, which brought him only anguish- he knew in part what had transpired and what was about to- and he knew you’d only be heartbroken by the end of this story.

And you were. You somehow managed to contain yourself till the very end- refusing to move to have even a sip of water until the quest concluded. You were patient- absorbing every every dialogue, every inch of text you could get your hands on.

To be loved is to be known, he thinks amusedly as you sniffle at the conclusion, then immediately open the wiki to confirm some tiny wretched detail. He can’t help but smile to himself a little as you angrily mutter profanities at the advertisements jumping out at you.

✦—————————————✦

“Is she SERIOUS.”

Xiao exhales softly as the Wanderer paces around the teapot. He hasn’t shut up since you logged in- because as soon as you finished your dailies, you occupied yourself straight away with painstakingly modifying the teapot (and crying over changes you accidentally forgot to save), all to welcome home the newest limited anemo five star. He’s been furious since he heard of her and ergo his potentially impending powercreep, much to the amusement of literally everyone besides Barbara, who feels sorry for him and Qiqi, who keeps forgetting who he even is. Xiao wishes he could tell you- he’s sure you’d laugh to no end, but even if he could you probably wouldn’t hear him right now since you’re currently occupied with one of your wretched rituals. This one involves Chongyun and- OH dear, no-

Furina grits her teeth as the glacial greatsword slams into the ground, straight through her neck. Chongyun looks like he really wishes the teapot had a bathroom. Xiao sighs.

Tiny fingers tug on his sleeve. Xiao blinks and turns around to face Sayu, her face puffy, her eyes crusty and glued shut. Eugh. Children really are something sometimes. Xiao considers wiping at her face with his sleeve, but… no. The Wanderer barks a laugh.

“What’s going on?” Sayu yawns. “Who are we pulling for?”

“Chasca,” Xiao says as the Wanderer hisses like a cat. “I wonder if she’ll need Faruzan too?”

They turn to Faruzan, sprawled like a corpse across the grass. You need to touch some too, Xiao thinks. You’ve wasted nearly an hour on the game today, and today has barely begun. He suspects you just like the thrill of gacha and are desperate for a five star. Weren’t you saving up for Xianyun? No matter.

Xiao knows you’ll never stop using him. You love him too dearly and sunk cost fallacy has effectively reeled you in, stored you away in a grimy little box. You’ve invested too much into Xiao to cast him aside now. But the Wanderer…

Barbara trots out the house just as the sky darkens, a cloudy depression opening up in the heavens. The Wanderer finally stops ranting, something about loyalty and actually amusing gameplay. Barbara puts the Tome of Eternal Flow away with a gasp upon noticing the giant HOLE in the sky (how did she just notice? Why is she gasping at the wishing screen when you open it thrice a day?) and gently nudges Faruzan out of her dysania to welcome home the newest anemo dps. Faruzan sniffles. Poor woman. It can’t be easy, dealing with him and the (thankfully, now quiet) ex Fatuus.

You pull. Xiao doesn’t bother holding his breath. It might as well be Bennett pulling, really because recently you’ve been getting exactly nothing of value. Another Faruzan, a Gorou for some godforsaken reason, four rainslashers, and so forth.

“Perhaps you’ll avoid your fourth betrayal,” Xiao muses. The Wanderer shoots him a startled glare, then laughs.

“Perhaps. You’re lucky, twink- NO!”

“Chasca, Flower-Feather Clan. Any disputes you need me to end for you? Depending on the situation, it could cost you a little di-“

✦—————————————✦

All things considered, it’s been a strange few years for Xiao. Since the game’s inception, he’s known he would be consigned to a solitary fate. He’s not a straightforward person, or particularly honest. He’s troublesome to play and troublesome to speak with. His chronicles are drenched in blood and anguish, quietly nestled away in softly murmured dialogue, artifact descriptions and optional adventures. Whatever love he was once showered with had long since washed away by the years that came after. And yet...

People continued to bother reaching past his exterior, reaching about with tender fingers. Wanting to know. Wanting to learn. They spoke of him. They took soft little bunches of their finite time and spun it into stories of him, art of him, words and adoration whispered and passed among one another in the communities they formed- that came together all because of their love for him.

It never failed to astonish him, fill him with gratitude so copious it was difficult to contain at times. It always drove him a bit insane- people loved him enough to painstakingly learn about him, strengthen him. That he was significant enough to sow the seeds of friendship formed by the common love felt for him.

Thinking about it makes him feel a bit silly. He’s just a character. He wonders if the others think about this as well (not Qiqi for sure) but he’s glad to have brought people someone real comfort after his fictional atrocities. Mortals… humans. He snorts a bit. He’ll try a bit harder to crit for you tomorrow.

Ani Book Club #4: The Message

So, there's this Animorphs book club going on right now. I have dreamt of finding people to gush over this series for years, but now that the Club is on, I can't find the time or motivation to participate.

But the thing is; I read them as they were released (one per month) when I was a kid, and reread them a hundred times over the years - except for the #14 and #17, I had to borrow from my best friend and for the last ones (#47-#52) that NEVER WERE TRANSLATED IN FRENCH.

So I figured, why not make a post about: what I remembered vs what I take when I read again now. Here goes #4 The Message.

What I remembered:

This is the one where they find Ax

Cassie has bad dreams, yadiyada, Tobias too, yadiyada, Jake only take it seriously because Cassie (so in character, my guy), yadiyada, they go to the ocean, yadiyada, they find a sunk Dome ship which they don't even get to explore, yadiyada, battle as usual, yadiyada, Deux-ex-machina 'look there's a way to combine DNA so that the alien of team can pass as a human for the upcoming 50+ books. The end.

The battle with the sharks is the first one that shocked me back then - and convinced me to keep my mouth shut about the books toward any parental figure I had.

What strikes me now:

The beginning about 'I can't tell you my name...' is soooooo cheesy... I forget how much I used to jump over it (unless it was Marco's. His were always fun).

My writing style has 2 characterizing attributes: I write from a main character's POV who usually speaks to the reader, and I systematically end my chapters with a statement that describes an action or a fact whose implications will be tackled next. Gee, where could I have ever learnt that?

Oh, so Rachel really does write quotes on Post-it notes and put them on an inspiration board. #canon accepted.

Second (and last?) trout morph.

Okay, so the shark battle is as bad as I remembered. And Applegate let in on heavy on 'forget about aliens and monsters, earth predators will be the death of us'. Note #1: rereading the series, no wonder I never understood all the fuss about Game of Thrones' Red Wedding. Dude, go read Animorphs as a 12-year-old and come back to talk about your 50-minute TV-induced trauma. Note #2: I have been low-key terrified of the ocean since I was a child. Never questioned it before. Starting to wonder if - maybe - the impact Animorphs had on me back then was more extensive than I ever realized. BEST BOOK CLUB EVER, guy

Okay, there is actually a whole plot to get them to reach Ax with 2 attempts, the seagull morph - I forgot it came from this book, the ship disaster - talk about 'on the fly plan'. My bad.

"I'm nobody's Prince." Buckle up, Big J., only 50 books left before you gain the title for real.

There's a mention about 3 alien races fighting the Yeerks; Andalites, of course, but I thought Anati and Leirans came into the fight later. Missed opportunity or history rewriting from Applegate here?

missing you queenie are you okay 😭

Thank you for your concern! T_T

I am okay, please do not worry, I'm just (still) taking a social break, if you will? I'll be more active again very soon, I promise! <3

(Read below for a proper update that got a little out of hand :3)

I have one story (aka about 13 chapters) more or less ready to publish (something rather dark, see more info below), while I'm also working on another story that's like the exact opposite theme-wise on the side. Let's just say, writing has been going very well, but (unfortunately?) I had to let a few new ideas out of my brain first before I can focus back on existing stories.

That said, I wanna use this ask to answer a few others too.

(I'm really sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner or answered you individually, just know that even if I don't always reply in time or at all, I always read what you guys send me, and I'm really grateful you're spending your time writing me, so thank you for that, and please don't be discouraged if I don't get back to you! I see you, always! <3)

Innocence Lost is not abandoned, but on hiatus. Someday, I will get back to Ben and Nebbia. Someday. I don't know when (probably when inspiration strikes). So, please stay patient!

Dear @bnnyvrqnor - I was a little taken aback, actually XD Maybe mostly because I'm always surprised when people come forward praising Innocence Lost and wanting more of Ben and Nebbia. Thank you for your interest, it really means a lot! Like I said above, I will get back to them, they still live very lively in my mind, wanting their story to continue too. So hang in there, they'll get their happy ending (or at least a bit more screen time!), soon/eventually. :)

Lost & Found is taking a break, but it will return soon(ish). I have many plans for Mommy, Daddy and Pumpkin, and I will get to them, eventually.

Dear ✨ anon, I've read your ideas and I thank you for sharing them! They will definitely go on my list of possible things the three of them can experience together, the party one and the "pumpkin loves autumn" one. Lots to do with them, and hopefully, my brain lets me write them all down soon! :3

Infatuated will return too, eventually (take a shot every time I say that >_>). Part 2 of Season 3 is in the works, but as I'd like to finish writing the whole thing first, it might take a while for me to upload new chapters. There could be a little intermission chapter, though. Someday. Stay tuned.

Abandoned and Forgetful are both technically finished, but also on hold, the latter I have to say I do lack ideas and motivation to continue, I'm sorry.

The same goes for the promised continuation of my werewolf smut series. But never say never, I could wake up one day and suddenly have the energy to write more for those stories, who knows.

@ ✨ anon again: Thank you for the Interest in Forgetful and the idea about Mistress' life. I have to be honest, I poured all my energy into a different Mistress, into Mommy from Lost & Found, so I feel like all the former Mistresses will inevitably end up similar to her, just like they all came from the same Mistress who I introduced in Infatuated. So, like I said, unless motivation strikes, I don't think I'll venture back into Forgetful's storyline/characters, sorry.

Future projects: (I should have known that you're going to pick up on this, my dear 🥒 :D nothing gets past you! <3) So the story mentioned above (and teased with my latest inspiration pic over on @animasolaoriginal) will be called FORCED!

It'll focus on a Master/pet (slave/servant) dynamic and unlike my other stories, there will be no comfort, no aftercare, just rough sex and the darkest kinks I could think of. I just needed to write something truly dark after sending my other characters into their fluff era, I guess. So that story might not be for everyone, but maybe you will still give it a try once it's out (which could happen this coming Saturday (Friday on AO3)? Maybe?).

(Also thank you for your concern, pickles! <3 Please don't worry about sending too many asks, I always love reading your thoughts and comments and seeing your name pop up! Never stop/change, okay? <3)

I hope this cleared things up a bit. Thank you for reading, thank you for being here (I recently hit a little follower milestone, and while I know most of you prefer to stay in the shadows, I'd like to make sure you know how much I appreciate you all for giving this little blog a chance! Thank you!)

I will be back with more smut stories very soon! Take care everyone!

Hello MJ!!! I love your work and i was wondering if you could do another part to the story where the whumpee and caretaker have the same scar? Maybe a prequel where we see what happened to the whumpee or caretaker? Whatever you choose I adore your writing and I hope you have endless inspiration and motivation forever and ever. 💫

https://www.tumblr.com/mj-iza-writer/754906910306762752/warning-swear-words-used-the-team-burst-through?source=share

I believe you should be able to find the original story there. Here is a background if not.

The story is a team whump story where Leader and the team bring an almost dead Whumpee to Caretaker, the teams medic. Caretaker right away sees similarities in Whumpee's wounds to someone from their past. While healing Whumpee, Leader and the team go out, hunt this person down, and kill them before they can strike again. This story goes into Caretaker's past.

I am so sorry this took so long to answer. Tumblr deleted the story the other day after I had worked on it for like three hours, so after crying my eyes out, I rewrote it... on my phone's notepad as I didn't want that to happen again. I always appreciate ask, and I thank you so much for the request.

The story.

Whumpee was gaining strength now. It had been a few weeks since their rescue.

Caretaker had worked hard to get them to this point.

"How about we attempt a real bath today?", Caretaker sat down next to Whumpee's makeshift hospital bed. A better option then the gurney they had laid on for the first two weeks.

"D-do you think I'll be able to do it?", Whumpee whispered.

"I guess we won't know unless we try", Caretaker smiled, "we can do a quick bath today. Maybe give your hair some attention", Caretaker looked over the clumped hair that still had dried mud from when they were found.

"I think I would like that" Whumpee nodded. Knowing they could use a good clean up.

"Alright I will go get your bath together, and I'll be back to get you", Caretaker stood.

Leader came in and found Whumpee leaning forward in their bed.

"Look at you", Leader smiled, "looks like you are getting stronger and better every day."

"Caretaker is going to give me a bath today", Whumpee whispered, "a-a real bath."

"Oh, that's going to be nice", Leader sat down next to Whumpee, "I take it that's where Caretaker is."

Whumpee nodded.

Leader looked around the room, "I wonder if Caretaker would need a hand", they looked at Whumpee, "would you be okay if I offered to help?"

"Yes that's fine", Whumpee nodded.

Caretaker came in just then and looked at Leader weirdly.

"Good morning, uh, I was just about to give Whumpee a bath. Did you need me for something?"

"No, no, just checking in", Leader smiled, "I was wondering if you'd like a hand though? Whumpee said they were alright with it."

"Actually, that would be helpful", Caretaker nodded, "I can have you work on their hair while I clean the rest of them up. We'll be able to get more cleaned in a little bit of time."

Leader carefully set Whumpee into the tub of warm water.

"Does everything feel alright?", Caretaker looked them over. The way Whumpee happily sunk into the water was enough of an answer.

"It feels so good", Whumpee moaned happily, "thankyou."

Caretaker knelt beside the tub, "yes, I remember my first bath after I escaped. It felt so good", they smiled.

Leader came around to other side of the tub and knelt down. They knew better than to ask questions about Caretaker's past.

"Alright Leader, get to cleaning", Caretaker smiled as they handed them a cup, "please remember we won't look clean right away. Whumpee's body will only let us get so far before they need to rest again. We just need to get enough off."

Leader nodded.

Whumpee stole glances at Caretaker. They looked to where that mark was hiding under his clothes. The one they had in common. The one that meant Caretaker knew exactly what had happened to Whumpee because it may have happened to him.

Whumpee then looked down where their mark was. A fresher wound right on their ribs, not as faded as Caretaker's was.

"Caretaker?", Whumpee whispered.

"Yes Whumpee, are you okay?" Caretaker gave a concerned look.

"May I... may I uhm", Whumpee stuttered nervously.

"Whumpee you can say or ask anything you want", Caretaker gently rubbed their shoulder.

Whumpee nodded, "may I, uhm, know what they did to you?"

Leader stopped what they were doing but didn't look up.

"I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked", Whumpee hurried when they saw Caretaker's jaw clench.

"No... uh.. it's fine", Caretaker looked at Whumpee shamefully, "I guess you have a right to know."

Caretaker started to gently clean Whumpee.

"Well I guess to start off, I was originally a doctor. That was my calling in life, it's what I always wanted to be, but they stole that from me", Caretaker frowned, "I was taken by them a little after I started working in the hospital."

Caretaker sighed, "after they found out what I was and what they could make me do", Caretaker paused to look at a wound on Whumpee's back, "they locked me in a room they called the operating room."

"They did things a little differently at first. They had several prisoners to play with. If they went too far, which was often, they would bring them to me. I was forced to heal their victims. I would be severely punished if I didn't.... if I lost someone."

Caretaker sighed, "many nights I cowarded away in the corner of the operating room. I was so scared that my door would be opened and another victim would be laid on my table. I'm still haunted by the faces or those people, buy their voices. Them begging me to just let them die. Them telling me I was just as bad as them. I was causing their suffering to be longer."

Caretaker's lip quivered, "I wanted to heal people, but not like that. I wanted to be appreciated for my work. To feel proud of my abilities, but instead, I heard yelling and pleading from people who wanted me to kill them. Cowering away from that person as their victim was dragged out kicking and screaming. Telling me that I was a horrible... person. What hurt worse was when I started to agree with them. I was a horrible p..person."

Caretaker looked up at Leader for a moment before continuing.

Leader felt their eyes but didn't dare look up.

"One night in particular, a victim was brought in. I had had them on my table before. They pleaded with me to let them die this time. They couldn't go on anymore. I remember looking deep into their eyes. I nodded. This was their only victim at the time. I knew my punishment would be especially bad if I failed."

"They came into my room a few hours later and saw the body. I was forced to take that victims place in the torture. It hurt like hell, but it was worth it", Caretaker chuckled lightly, "it gave me a boost of confidence."

"A few days later, I heard my door unlock. They came in and told me they were going hunting for a new victim since they didnt have any", Caretaker stopped for a second and looked lovingly at Whumpee, "I some how got them to come closer to me..... I stabbed them with a makeshift knife. I thought I killed them, unfortunately I guess I didn't."

"I ran", Caretaker looked up at Leader again, "I ran until I couldn't run anymore, then I collapsed. I prayed that I might die as well and be forgiven of my sins in the afterlife."

Caretaker smiled again as they wiped a tear, "thankfully someone found me. Someone who has a habit of finding injured people and bringing them here, and making them like a family. They didn't exactly have a medic back then. So I took care of my own wounds. Leader tried to help as much as they could."

"You said I did good at getting the supplies you needed", Leader finally spoke up.

"Yes you did", Caretaker nodded.

Caretaker sighed again, "I don't like talking about my past too often as I'm ashamed of it. I allowed people to suffer because I was too afraid to speak out and stand up against our captor. I was too afraid of them."

Whumpee looked deeply into Caretaker's eyes, "you were allowed to be afraid, you're human. I was terrified by them. I can see why you would have been as well. I'm sorry for what those people yelled at you and called you. You're my hero", Whumpee shook, "plus if it hadn't happened, you would not have met Leader and become part of this team. I could have died. It's unfortunate, but those hard times brought you to this family.

"Thankyou Whumpee I appreciate that", Caretaker smiled, another tear threatened to fall, "well, I think that just about does it for this bath, you are shaking a lot. I think your body is ready to rest again."

Whumpee nodded, "thankyou for telling me about that. I really appreciate it."

"You're welcome", Caretaker smiled weakly.

Whumpee fell asleep a little after their bath.

Caretaker stepped outside on their office's balcony to get some air. Maybe cry a little more.

They were just about to lower to the ground when Leader came out carrying some drinks.

"Hey, sorry to bother you", Leader frowned, "I thought maybe you could use one of these after that. I know you don't like talking about that subject. Though I think it was good for Whumpee to hear it. Maybe they can see that being fully healed is possible after some time. I know I have a deeper respect for you than I already had. You're absolutely inspirational."

"I-I don't know about that, but Whumpee deserved to hear it", they looked down at the drink, "I'm not proud of that time of my life. Thanks for this."

"You're welcome", Leader took a drink of their own, "I agree with them though. If it wasn't for that, this team would have never made it. None of this would be possible."

Caretaker smiled weakly.

"I guess I know why you are able to fix just about anything I bring to you", Leader tried to lighten the mood.

"Yep, you still haven't given me anything compared to what I've dealt with. Except Whumpee, that was a hard one. Which is how I knew it was their work. It had to be at least."

Leader nodded, "for what it's worth. You are an amazing doctor, and I'm honored to have you on this team. I know this wasn't what you had planned for your life, but man, I appreciate you so much."

"Thanks", Caretaker smiled, "this isn't what I had planned, but I wouldn't change it for the world."

Leader grinned, "I'm glad."

Taglist. As always please let me know if you want to be added or taken off of the list. It's not a problem at all.

rnis!

eheheh HI THANK U DEAR (for context - x)

oh boy,,,,,,i mean, they're the classic, aren't they? i know i'm not saying anything particularly mind-blowing when i say they inspire each other and push each other to their limits and beyond them, and that they are literally each other's motivation to improve

that said, outside the realm of soccer specifically, i feel like they still carry that rivalry with them? and probably apply it to literally every aspect of their lives/relationship. u know they're out here battling over who can wash dishes the fastest or which one sae likes better lmao

i think too that rin oddly is the slightly more well-adjusted one? in that i feel he's had time and practice with reining in his uhhh destructive tendencies (see: the years he spent trying to replace sae on their school team) and channeling them elsewhere (horror media lmao) while i feel like isagi didn't really get that practice - he just awakened to his horrific behavior and then was very strongly encouraged to keep being as awful as possible lmao so i feel like outside blue lock, he can come across unexpectedly cruel or thoughtless? which while rin doesn't necessarily volunteer cruelty/thoughtlessness, he definitely encourages/plays into isagi's lmao like he doesn't think there's anything wrong with what isagi's saying he just doesn't say it first yk

anyway as for the two of them together, i feel like rin's the type to notice more when it comes to just...general life? notices the way isagi takes his coffee or which shirts he favors, etc, while isagi's more attuned to rin on the field than off it. he strikes me as a bit oblivious? unless he's very specifically focused on something about rin with like, intent. but i think in passing, he doesn't tend to notice little things or habits the same way rin does

normally i'd be inclined to throw rin into the yappee role between him and literally anyone else but i feel like the only things isagi's gonna be a yapper about are soccer related and rin has OPINIONS on that so i think they end up in yapper/yapper mode more often than not lmao

hmmm what else. ohhh classic yeah i think isg fell first/rin fell harder - isagi fell in love with rin's soccer (which is basically the same for him as falling for the person lmao) and rin took a long time to come around to even acknowledging isagi, but i feel like the second he opened the floodgates, isagi-feelings hit like a freight train. he strikes me as uhhhh wanting to cuddle isagi all the time. like a big stuffed animal. and like he prefers non-verbal expressions of affection generally. i think isagi's probably similar in that regard but less out of "saying emotions is mortifying" but more like "huh? wait, you wanted me to say that out loud? that didn't even occur to me that you might not Already Know Somehow" (esp with rin, who he just...assumes knows everything already)

okay i think that's all i got for general rnis thoughts!!! hope u enjoyed dear!!

send me a bllk ship and i'll tell you what i think their dynamic looks like!!

Alastor's Deal: A Theory

Apologies if all of this has been said before, but my brain has felt like Niffty on caffeine the last 24 hours and it must be purged.

So, we all know that Alastor has made some sort of deal. That was obvious back when Husk made his “on a leash” comment and was fully confirmed during Alastor’s breakdown, wherein he laments that the “constraints of my deal must have a back door.” The big questions then are with who and for what? Like many, I’m in the “Alastor made a deal with Lilith” camp.

Let’s move through this semi-chronologically.

We know, based on the final scene of Season One, that Lilith has made her own deal to stay in Heaven and that if she doesn’t stop Charlie from “threatening the very foundation” of the realm then the deal is off. This is the primary motivation we’ve seen from the Heaven higher-ups this whole show: protecting Heaven’s power dynamics at best and doing so by hellish genocide at worst. If Lilith made a deal with the angels to get access to Heaven, what else would they want beyond further assurance that her domain will never rise up against them? Taking her off the battlefield would likewise be a decisive blow as we’re told in the prologue that it’s her singing that inspires Hell and Hell’s population that helps grow her power. Take Lilith away and there’s no leader left to organize a revolt.

(Except Charlie. More on that in a bit.)

So either Lilith—newly separated from Lucifer, disgusted by this eternal punishment—or the angels—terrified by her leadership, Hell’s growing population, the ongoing threat of revolt—approach the other and go, ‘You get a spot in paradise and you get reassurance against anyone uprooting the status quo.’ Right from the start it struck me as odd that Heaven only has this seemingly random Extermination once a year as a way of maintaining control. Meaning, the angels fly down and seem to go after any citizen who’s unlucky enough to be in their way, just the average Joes that wouldn’t be perceived as a threat. So what about the Overlords? They’re the ones with the real power and yet they’re simultaneously the ones who are smart enough to lay low during Extermination Day. As far as we’ve seen, there’s no organized efforts to go after the seat of Hell’s political power: Adam doesn’t attack the Princess until she personally pisses him off and Carmilla seems to run into the angels only by accident. Why in the world would Heaven try to keep Hell in its place by killing the citizens who (supposedly—this is an institution that very much underestimates the underdog/group efforts) can’t do anything to hurt them?

The answer is they wouldn’t. Extermination, while useful in terms of striking fear and hopelessness in the citizens, as well as keeping Hell’s population in line, is also a bit of a decoy. Heaven is going after the Overlords. They’re just smart enough to do so quietly.

We’re back to Lilith. She gets a spot in Heaven. In return, she assists Heaven in undermining the true seat of Hell’s power (outside herself and her own family): the Overlords. How to do that though? Staying in paradise precludes going down and doing the dirty work herself, to say nothing of how not subtle having the Queen commit murders would be.

Enter Alastor.

Need someone to commit murders for you? Snag a serial killer! I’ve seen a couple people claim that Alastor’s deal is limiting his power— based primarily on the “unclip my wings” comment—but that’s never tracked for me. If Alastor was already powerful, even more-so than he is now, he’d have no reason to make a deal in the first place. This man, by his own musical admission, is not altruistic. Unless there was some threat to his existence that we don’t know about yet that forced him into a corner, power is the only thing he’d make a deal for.

So you’re Lilith. You need a personal hitman to keep Heaven happy. Here’s an egotistical, power-hungry serial killer who’ll do anything to be on top—even sell his soul. So you make him powerful, though with the caveat that he must use that power at your command. Alastor comes out of nowhere then, this overnight success, and he immediately targets a bunch of Overlords. Not all of them. Not enough for Hell to crumble, or for anyone to become suspicious that this is more than just one homicidal demon enjoying himself, but enough to ensure that what power Hell is consolidating never gets out of hand. I think Alastor’s initial arrival on the scene was a kind of test period for Lilith. Once he proved that their plan would work, she was given access to Heaven. That was seven years ago. Lilith disappears and Alastor conveniently disappears along with her. Why? No enough info yet, but I think that timing lends weight to the theory that his deal is tied up with hers.

Why is Alastor so desperate now? Well, a number of reasons, the most obvious of which is that his soul is presumably on the line. Much like his threats towards Husk, Alastor knows that he’s got a metaphorical gun pointed towards his head at all times. He’s on this “leash” and if we know anything about this man, it’s that he needs to be the one fully in control—which he’s very much not at the moment. Alastor needs to be the one “pulling all the strings,” not acting as the puppet for someone else. I further wonder what might have happened in those seven years to potentially scare him. (Was he in Heaven? Perhaps chained for a time? Let out only when his Master deems him useful again?). I further wonder how his own (slow as molasses) redemption is influencing things. Despite his claims to the contrary, Alastor does care for people—there’s a whole meta about that on its way—and Rosie is very much included in that select group. The fandom has done a great job of pointing out all the ways their friendship comes across as genuine so I won’t hash that out here. Suffice to say, Rosie is one of the few people Alastor is close to pre-hotel, but she’s also an Overlord. If this theory holds any weight it means that at any point he could be given the order to kill her. (If he can, of course. He calls her the most “dangerous” of them all). That's not going to sit well with him.

So Alastor wants out on his deal, right? Well... kind of. See, I don’t think he actually wants to break the deal because that would mean he loses all the power he gained from it. Notably, Alastor also doesn’t say he wants to break it, he says that the “constraints of my deal must have a back door.” He’s looking for a loophole, a way to break the limitations he’s currently under, but not break the deal itself. Here’s an example that’s really just an excuse for me to throw out a headcanon I have:

Demon: I will give you power, but you are not allowed to say where it comes from Alastor: Hmm. I want the power and to be able to talk about where I got it Alastor: What was that exact wording again? I’m not allowed to say anything? Well, I’m a radio host. I’ll just have other peoples' voices say it for me! Alastor: Now I get both :)

That’s another aspect to all this that fits nicely with Heaven being at the root of this deal: of course they wouldn’t want Alastor blabbing. Not just because Hell can’t know about their plan, but likewise because most in Heaven are ignorant of the measures they’re taking too. The fandom has already pointed out the stitching around Alastor’s mouth—colored green to show it’s deal magic—as well as his annoyance when people don’t question is odd absences and sudden power ups. To be clear, I 100% think that scene with the Overlords is Alastor just getting pissy that no one gives a shit about him—this guy needs to be the center of attention 24/7—but underneath that may be legitimate frustration that no one is helping him find the loopholes of this deal. He knows he can’t speak about it, but he’s also hoping to find that “back door” to his limitations. That’s a lot easier to do if others are helping him poke and prod at these constraints.

Which brings me to Husk. Anyone else find it odd that he knows about this super secret deal when no one else seems to? At least, he knows enough to realize that Alastor is “on a leash.” My pet theory here is that Husk is the first soul Alastor collected. Mimzy’s flashback shows Alastor hunting and presumably killing those other Overlords, putting their souls into his radio show for all of Hell to hear (which would be another great fear tactic that benefits Heaven). However, for whatever reason he decides to take an Overlord’s soul one night, rather than outright killing him, and lo and behold, that connection gives Husk some insight into Alastor. Or, conversely, that ownership allows Alastor to speak more freely than he can with anyone else. Regardless, Husk is a potential asset now. No, he can’t go blabbing about Alastor’s deal and reminding him of the insult of being chained—Alastor will still kill him if he goes too far—but for now there’s potential in someone, someone Alastor has control over, knowing that a deal exists. He hasn’t found a way to gain freedom yet while maintaining his power, but Alastor is smart enough to surround himself with people who he can force/manipulate into doing the job for him, once he figures out what role they might play.

Next up then is Charlie. Charlie who is powerful by virtue of being the Princess of Hell. Charlie who is Lilith’s daughter and now owes Alastor a favor (something like, perhaps, “Help me circumvent the limitations of my deal with your mom”?) Charlie who possesses her mother’s ability to inspire through song, a talent that Alastor is THRILLED to see develop at Cannibal Town.

Surprised? Why, I knew she could do it all along She’s filled with potential that I could guide Stick with her, you’ll be on the winning side!

Alastor is playing the long game. Pretend to be the powerful, influential Princess’ friend, become the confidant of Lilith’s darling girl, make a broad-stroke deal with her that can only benefit you, and you’ve set the stage for sometime, somehow, freeing yourself of the mess you’ve gotten into. (Of course, what Alastor can’t admit yet is that pretending to be someone’s friend often results in real friendship developing. Get loved, idiot.) It’s only when Alastor’s plan nearly gets him killed that he has a full-blown panic attack. I almost died for them? I’m supposed to be manipulating them to help me! WHAT THE FUCK?

Three other points of note:

1. It’s unclear how much Heaven knows about the specifics of their own deal. Given that Adam has no idea who Alastor is when they fight, yet the final scene implies that he made the actual deal with Lilith, it’s possible she promised to take out Overlords—and delivered—but never told them precisely how she was accomplishing this. Knowing the kind of woman Lilith is likely to be, no doubt she has further plans up her own sleeve.

2. Alastor’s tune changes drastically while talking privately to Vox. It’s obvious that he’s generally unconcerned with his death threats and absolutely plays that up in their duet, but once they’re alone Alastor because incredibly threatening, taking on his demon form and promising to make Vox wish he’d stayed gone. I don’t think he cares much about Vox himself, rather, as another Overlord Vox is automatically in Alastor’s crosshairs. He hasn’t been given the order to kill the Vs yet, but they’re his enemy by virtue of the deal. You’re going to end me? No, no, no, my entire purpose here is to end you.

3. Alastor fucking hates angels. Or rather, I should say he hates angels high on the celestial totem pole. Battle grunts like Vaggie are fine—he’s got no beef with them outside of them trying to exterminate everyone—but someone like Lucifer, a former powerhouse of Heaven? Or Adam, one of those currently in charge? Alastor despises them both on sight. It’s notable to me that they’re the only two he curses out: “Fuck you” to Lucifer and “I’m going to end your fucking life” to Adam. (Well, except calling Susan a “bitch,” but Susan is an exception lol). Alastor always has it together and prizes his manners up until he meets an angel who represents the top dog group who has chained him. Then he looses his cool. Toss in the fact that Lucifer is Lilith’s former husband and Adam is the one who supposedly made the deal with Lilith and... yeah. Alastor is holding a hell of a grudge. That’s likewise how I read the “unclip my wings” line. Not an indication that Alastor was more powerful pre-deal, but a general way of expressing that he’s constrained in other ways while ALSO hinting at the source. It’s ironic that his own (non-existent) wings are clipped when it’s the winged bastards who have him under their thumb.

This is also where I’m thinking/hoping Alastor’s story might go. He spends more time trying to have his cake and eat it too—possessing Lilith’s Overlord-killing power without being a servant to Heaven anymore—probably screwing over many of his new relationships in the process. Somehow his circumstances come to light (via Husk?), Charlie forgives him, she finds a way to break the deal entirely (perhaps by persuading her mom via duet), and Alastor is left... as Alastor. Just Alastor—sinner, former human, redeemable. Still the radio demon, but not very fearsome anymore. He lacks the power that’s defined him for who knows how long now and must grapple with just being himself: vulnerable and truly reliant on the family he’s built to protect him.

(GET LOVED, IDIOT)

So to recap:

Lilith wants access to Heaven

Heaven wants Hell’s power kept in check in a way that won’t draw too much attention

Lilith makes a deal with a power-hungry serial killer, giving him the ability to take out Overlords for them

Alastor kills a bunch to undermine the threat Hell poses

Her part of the deal proven to be sound, Lilith retires to a celestial beach

Her homicidal pet is kept in line for a time, perhaps put in the cage until useful again

Alastor returns and immediately inserts himself into Charlie’s life, the one person who might be able to help him by virtue of her political and familial position

He spends months manipulating her to like him/orchestrating a deal

He comes to legitimately like her

Nearly dies for her and her friends

Panics about it

Reasserts his original goal to maintain power while getting off his “leash” because fuck friendship and all that

The only thing that didn’t sit right with me was Alastor’s smile. Based on what we’ve seen, this is another constraint of the deal. Alastor’s warning to Charlie that his smile hides his real emotional state was a clue, but I think it’s magical nature is confirmed in the radio tower post-fight with Adam. There’s no audience there for Alastor to perform for. He’s the lowest we’ve ever seen him. If there was ever a time where he’d drop the happy-go-lucky facade it’s now... but he doesn’t. He can’t. Which didn’t make sense to me given all of the above. Why the hell would anyone need to force Alastor to smile if they just want a powerful attack dog?

This rotated in my head like a rotisserie chicken for a while until it hit me that they wouldn’t. Because it’s not about a need, it’s about being mean. Heaven has shown time and time again that they’re not merely engaging in Extermination because they see it as a necessary evil, they LIKE it. It’s fun for them. The killing of demons and their torture beforehand is a kind of entertainment that they—particularly Adam’s group of soldiers—frequently indulges in. They wouldn’t make Alastor smile for any practical reason. They’d do it simply because they could.

Look how happy he is acting as our little pet. It’s a sentiment that Alastor repeats for Husk, likely as a way of grasping at control within his own, vulnerable situation.

In addition, this is a little, sadistic inside joke for the angels. Throughout my whole binge the fixed nature of Alastor’s smile looked so familiar and I couldn’t place it, not until I realized that the angels didn’t literally have those faces.

They’re wearing masks. The masks they wear into battle show fixed, endless grins as they indulge in slaughter. Now, as their pet, Alastor is forced to wear a mask as well, one that mimics the dress-code for killing his people.

Smile, Alastor. You’re the Exterminator.

got tagged by @goodpointsandbadpoints and @silvercap so here we go :3

When did you start writing?

really depends on the definition of writing, but i've been writing stories in notebooks from the moment i actually learned to write. the first one i remember was about a friend group of dogs going on adventures lol. it was nine notebooks long and my poor teacher was too nice to say no so he had to read it all.

Are there different themes or genres you enjoy reading than what you write?

I enjoy historical fiction but I don't have the patience for the research it'd require so I won't write it. uhm. idk I read various genres but I basically only write fluffy fic so :'D i do have a fantasy project in finnish but i haven't touched it in years, so idk if it counts.

Is there a writer you want to emulate or get compared to often?

no. I love reading different styles, and I've learned a lot from just reading authors who have very different ways of saying what they want to say. but I don't want to emulate any of them. I will do what feels organic to me.

Can you tell me a bit about your writing space?

usually on my couch in front of the tv with the laptop on my lap lol. I don't really write by hand or on my phone unless it's a random idea I need to jot down quick and I'm not on my laptop then. the tv is always on, i need the background noise.

What's your most effective way to muster up a muse?

lmao well that is the million dollar question, isn't it. usually going for a walk with the dog or on a longer car ride alone helps, it forces me to spin things in my brain bc there's nothing else to do. (but it can also backfire and I spiral into never wanting to write again lol) inspiration strikes at very random moments tbh. i haven't yet found much rhyme or reason in that.

Are there any recurring themes in your writing? Do they surprise you?

at the core, it's always about love and acceptance, learning to receive it, or craving it and not getting it. self-worth. loneliness. finding your support system. idk in general I am happy with my life but I do get lonely often and it shows, because if I can't get a good cuddle from someone who loves me then damnit the character i'm writing about sure as hell will get it! :'D

What is your reason for writing?

there are stories inside of me that need a way out.

How do you want to be thought about by your readers?

uhm. I want them to feel the feelings i'm trying to get across with my words. connect with the characters. and enjoy the story I want to tell.

What do you feel is your greatest strength as a writer?

characterization and dialogue. soft moments where people connect. pacing, usually. hm.

How do you feel about your own writing?

i don't care how selfish this sounds lmao they're the stories i want to read and i love them. simple as that. i give me exactly what i want :'D

When you write, are you influenced by what others might enjoy reading, or do you write purely for yourself, or a mix of both?

so this is my biggest weakness when it comes to writing because i can not write only for myself. i can't be a "desk drawer writer" (like the saying goes in finnish lol). that is precisely why I haven't made any progress with my fantasy trilogy (lol) in finnish in years and years, because no one i know wants to read it (fantasy is not their genre, no shade to them). i need an audience, even if it's just one person! but at the same time i am not willing to budge on what i think makes a good story lol. so in a way i do write what makes me happy but to find the motivation to finish things i'd also need to find someone who gives a crap.

but anyway.

not tagging anyone, do it if you feel like it and say i tagged you! ;)

This is probably going to be the most boring answer ever, but you will see the aftermath of the whole portaling ordeal in the next biggish update! (I have one short comic to work on before I can get to work on all that can of beans... haha beans.) Yes this includes brothers and Casey, you are just going to have to give me some time here to draw all that! :)

@overthinkingintrovert-blue

---

Big Leo doesnt really have a defined, singular nickname? Rather than just an assortment of old/fruit related nicknames! Sprout could never land on just one and had quite the arsenal of names to use! The new little fella Poptart, was also about to follow this assortment of nicknames pattern before Sprout gave him an idea of what singular thing to call him

Ha names are confusing... personally unless they are referring to eachother in the comics im just resorting to call them big medium and little pfft

@marnerlue

---

Yes!? I would not be going out of my way for a whole arc 2 ordeal if it wasnt cannon! If you are lost on the timeline, feel free to look at this post!

To be fair though, what is cannon, really. If you really want you could just accept this comic as the "true" ending, since it was the original ending I had in mind when I first started the series, everything past that is optional tbh but everything past that is what im going to be working on for the rest of the series so...

---

Funny story! Its one thing to get hyperfixations, its another to get, hyperfixations within your hyperfixations? 2AL is my hyperfixation within my hyperfixation within my hyper- point being this ADHD brain has no other ideas. One show pony but its a one AU brain. In fact its a bit hard for me to even focus on other peoples aus because of that hahah whoops-

I say that since again, this whole comic started by accident???? And I have no clue if that luck of just, pure inspiration and motivation will ever happen again ha

+ Whenever I do finish the series (in like, 3 to 5 months maybe?), I for one am very excited to relax and go back to just making fanart for other people, no au to worry about, oh the peace of mind-

Who knows, maybe inspiration will accidentally strike again though, but its def going to be after I finish this series!

Lord Dio Brando (A Pop Culture Spirit Guide)

A Quick Introduction: Dio Brando is a reoccurring villain in the manga and anime “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure”. His motives are often out of hatred for the Joestar family but also out of ambition for greater power. He takes on different forms for each “part” he appears in, so I work with these forms as different aspects of the same entity/spirit. For example: Dio’s “Phantom Blood” form highlights his vampiric nature and bloodlust. It’s his original body (completely) unlike his “Stardust Crusaders” form which is his head attached to Jonathan Joestar’s body. And his part 6 form is also different. Etc. I’ve created epithets for him based on which version of him I’m approaching. Also FUN FACT: Dio Brando is canonically nonbinary while going by He/him/they/them pronouns in my experience. If you need proof I got pics of Araki’s chart on him. 😍

Correspondences:

Crystals: Ruby (stone of kings, said to make one invincible in medieval lore, also associated with blood and passion), Garnet (again, another blood related stone but has a more grounded death/rebirth energy), Green Jade (prosperity and abundance), Obsidian (sacrifice and offensive style protection), and carnelian (Egyptian association with the land of the dead, the heart, and blood), Golden Calcite (very powerful and energized in an established way), and last but not least, Peridot (known as the evening emerald, most powerful at night, essentially a shining mesmerizing energy).

Plants: Yew (known for raising the dead in folklore, has an energy of resilience), Apple (known for maintaining eternal youth, fertility, and physical beauty), Fig (known for being carnivorous as a tree and destructive yet beautiful), Cinnamon (increased lust, powerful healer and catalyst for regeneration), and honeysuckle (known for its invasive nature it is very influential in its energy and increases psychic powers and protects the user).

Colors: gold, red, black, green, purple, and silver.

Holidays: Dio’s birthday is undocumented in the canon JJBA universe. So I dedicate the whole month of August to him because he has very Leo Sun energy. If I were to guess his placements I’d say Leo Sun, Aquarius Moon, Scorpio Rising. Because he strikes one as dark and mysterious upon first impression but is a magnificent leader and inspires others to think like he does (in a very innovative Aquarius moon way).

My Experiences: Dio showed up in my life in a very obvious and dramatic manner, one that was hard to ignore. There’s nothing meek about him. There’s nothing watered down or toned down. It might intimidate some to work with him and honor him as a pop culture spirit, but it came really naturally to me because as long as one adores and respects Dio, you are likely in his good graces.

Offerings: He appreciates actions and follow through. He appreciates wit and books and poetry. You can dedicate learning endeavors to him. He has eclectic taste, loves Egyptian jewelry, and books like The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. Incorporating acts of devotion and adoration (these can optionally be sexual: example, masturbation) to him are great ways of connecting with Dio’s energy. He does not tolerate fools unless he sees some benefit or finds your foolishness useful, yet he does have a sense of humor. Don’t get on his bad side by favoring spirits like Jotaro. Once Dio is your enemy he is unlikely to ever change his mind no matter how you try to reconcile. Shiny things, wine, and art, he is a soul drawn to beauty, as he is beautiful himself.

IMPORTANT: Get clear on why you want to connect to Lord Dio. Is it because he fascinates you? Do you wish to see the world from a more powerful perspective or have his influence in your life? Proceed after you figure this out.
