They look the same to me

[xyzstarry]

can I just-

if you don’t like someone’s blog? unfollow them. 

If you don’t like someone’s fic? stop reading it. 

if you don’t like how somebody is characterizing your blorbo - ignore/block. 

If you follow someone you like, but notice they post things that you don’t like? block the tags. 

If you see someone tag something incorrectly/don’t tag it at all? kindly inform them. 

If you see somebody make a mistake, do not attack them. human error is a thing, and most of the time people are super apologetic about it. 

You’re absolutely allowed to be passionate about what you love, but your experience engaging in fandom is entirely your own. 

And honestly, if the experience feels overwhelming or is making you miserable, just log off for a few days…take a deep breath, go outside, bathe in the sun or sit under a tree… but follow and engage with others who make this joyful for you (that’s the whole point here!)

because there is literally zero reason for you to send hate messages, fight with people online, or get angry over fictional characters or ships.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA man I dropped into this hole way easier than I thought.

And so for this posting, I might update regularly depending on confirmed details or character updates in the website - as these are the content as of now in their website.

So now, enjoy my spam for today and dive deep into this Noir/Mafia game with me muehehehehehe

To note, I inserted Noir to categorise it as well as the tagline of the game is essentially - "Raising Hell, Chasing Heights" (or direct CN TL be: "Ensemble of villains indulging in the banquet of pleasure - with desire in full blossom". So, I'm taking it with anticipation that most if not all characters will have a very grey moral compass and can't be judged in pure black and white.

Another reason I'm so entranced by this game I suppose

ALSO, this is a joseimuke game, ie female targeted game. Not an otome so it won't be limited to them 6 up there and there will only be more men (possibly women as well). Further details on the game will be translated and shared soon.

// mild spoilers and gen thoughts for spirit world

i’ve completed alkaid, clarence and ayn’s spirit world routes so far

(thank you current lost bloodline rerun for making my life and gameplay much easier compared to beforehand lol) (those lowered stage difficulties came through ❤️)

and this is genuinely how i looked by the time i finished reading the epilogues

(haven’t looked into the illustras yet! that’ll come once i complete spirit world as a whole…)

from at least the past two worlds (godheim, eden) the epilogues felt like a neat bow wrapping the LI/painter together and their stories

but in spirit world?

i’m genuinely so sad by the end of them lol 😭

though obviously the infinite empire is definitely having an even stronger/more imposing presence in the main story content as it goes on

(which is excellent, of course. i want to learn more about them. and eventually see ie!clarence’s counterpart… hehe)

but like… in spirit world it almost feels as if everyone is doomed no matter what 😭makes ya feel a bit empty and hopeless

(though i know that spirit world greatly connects to deimortem—to which i only have knowledge on clarence’s route. and now that i revisit it with more spirit world knowledge, i’m like OOF…)

sw!ayn ultimately sacrifices himself to rid of the corruption… sw!alkaid aligns sky city to the circles of earth as the sprit deer inbetween… and sw!clarence goes through all four eras with painter just for them to complete the spirit bond ritual and ties himself to the endless cycle of time…

and now in sw!cael, we get to see governor AND lightbringer (awakening!cael) which is so interesting to me���

i haven’t gotten too far in his route either but seeing how it’s approaching spirit world much differently compared to the first three i’m excited to see where it’ll go c:

[xyzstarry]

// spirit world alkaid + clarence inter. route spoilers

it’s so interesting to see how there are two versions of lars (child of light/lars, ‘lord of light’ nil lars) in this world that the governor (infinite empire lars) is actively trying to usurp control over… (in terms of harvesting emotions, etc.) 0-0

above is taken from spirit world: clarence (inter.)

godheim was ultimately all (though in particular archmage clarence) against cael… eden was prefect luminary to alkaid… now spirit world has governor to the vessels: child of light and nil lars… split between light and darkness…! (as well as the other three spirit lords…)

above is taken from spirit world: alkaid (inter.)

governor being the ultimate, omnipotent ‘God’ of spirit world too… goosebumps…

augh i love lbc’s storytelling so much 🙏🥹 i can’t wait to read more of spirit world and see what happens

[FIC] I Love You 115 (15/115)

Rating: M Characters: Osborn/Reader Word Count: 1737

Summary: An appreciation of Osborn's lips.

You've never told Osborn this, but you love his lips. It’s the way they're an unwelcoming line on his face when he isn't showing emotion, but only you know how soft they can be. It's the way they curve with the rise of an eyebrow when he finds something amusing, like when you challenge him or when he's teasing you. It’s the way they turn up tenderly when he thinks you aren't looking, but you can see his eyes on you in the reflection of a display window. It's the way they part, showing a glimpse of white teeth, when he's speaking or laughing with you. It's the way he holds a thin square between them only to tear that package open with a twist of his head. It's the way they become swollen from kisses and, as a drop of sweat slides past them, the tip of a wet tongue swipes it away as he lowers himself—

“Are you listening? Tsk, you're the one who asked me to summarize this book for you.”

You're pulled back to the present to see Osborn looking at you with that familiar raised eyebrow and curve on the corners of his mouth. Your eyes drift to his slightly pursed lips and then guiltily shift away to the mystery novel in his hand that he had been reading and to which you were struck with an urge to ask him to tell you about just so you had an excuse to stare at him.

But how can your guilty glance escape the eyes of a professional racer and bounty hunter? You miss the emergence of an undercurrent in his eyes, darkening their mint-green by a shade, but you don’t miss how he sets aside the novel and grabs your waist to pull you onto his thighs, making you straddle him on the couch.

Despite feeling him wrap an arm around your waist to secure you in his lap, you still reflexively grip his shoulders to find your balance, swaying a little at the change in position.

“W-what do you want?”

You recall the old adage that the one who strikes first gains the upper hand, and so you immediately question him in a self-righteous tone.

“That's my line.” Osborn leans into the back of the couch, watching you with half-lidded eyes. “You clearly aren't interested in hearing about the book so, out with it, what do you want?”

As if you can tell him you’re smitten with his looks, in particular his lips, even if he already has a good idea about the devastating impact his handsome features bring to you. But knowing you're attracted to his good looks is one matter and over-the-top infatuation with his good looks is another matter. Before you can come up with a plausible excuse, you hear Osborn speak.

“Ohh, seeing Lil Xiao Five's red face, looks like it was something inappropriate.”

You bristle right away like a cat whose tail was stepped on. “No!”

“In that case, you can tell me, right?”

His word trap pushes you into speechlessness. Telling him isn’t right, but not telling him isn’t right either. Seeing the glimmer of victory dance in his eyes at your silence, you decide to metaphorically smash the cracked pot. “… I was appreciating your lips.”

Surprise flashes across Osborn’s eyes before he regains his usual naughty smirk. “Oh? Did you make any new discoveries?”

You purse your lips, realizing it’s your turn again in this game that suddenly sprung up between you and him. If you stop now, you’re going to be teased endlessly for “appreciating his lips” to the point where you spaced out, and so you’re determined to take back the initiative and fluster him.

“Stop smiling for a second.” You move your hands to Osborn’s face and press your index fingers to both sides of his lips, attempting to push down their raised corners.

“That’s a little hard to do when you’re in front of me.”

You both stare at each other for a moment and you can feel the muscles in his cheeks quiver from trying and failing to restrain his smile. Finally, you give up on waiting for him to control his expression and begin to trace his upturned lip line with a finger. An electric current seems to run through you at this touch, traveling up through your finger, your arm, and straight into your heart, making it accelerate.

“Your lips are on the thin side. Some say people with thin lips are independent, reserved, and cautious. Others say men with thin lips are inconsiderate, fickle in emotion, and unfaithful.”

This time the smile disappears from Osborn’s face and he raises his line of sight from your mouth to study your eyes. “And what does Lil Xiao Five think?”

You don’t respond on purpose until you see him narrow his eyes and prepare to ask again, and then you press down with your finger, parting his lips and making the tip of your finger slide onto the inner side of his lower lip. The sensation of the wet heat there ignites the tight thread of anticipation between you and him, threatening to make it snap in the middle once the flames eat through it.

“I think… only I know that your lips are very, very soft and very, very warm. That those sayings are completely untrue.”

Osborn’s eyes have darkened, turning into surging viridian waves, and every time he exhales his breath scorches your hand. His voice is completely husky. “What else?”

“… When you smile, it makes me really want to kiss you.” Unconsciously, you pull your hand away and lower your voice as if speaking any louder will snap that burning thread. There’s nothing around you and Osborn, yet it feels like everything is closing in, forcing you closer and closer to him. Or more like the air you’re breathing suddenly isn’t enough and you need to be inhaling his scent in order to breathe properly.

A quiet laugh comes from Osborn and his lips involuntarily curve upward again. ���Like now?”

“Like now.” Your hushed words are delivered at the same time you lower your head, and he tilts his head up to receive you, like you’re two magnets drawn to each other.

The moment you kiss Osborn you realize you have it all wrong. That tight thread of anticipation doesn’t snap and instead it burns to ashes and flames lick down both sides to spread into your bodies, or else why would it feel like you’re both burning up? Uncharacteristically though, Osborn lets you take the lead and, when you trace the shape of his lips with your tongue, you hear a low grunt escape his throat.

Eventually, rubbing your lips together is no longer enough. The increasingly heavy breaths that are exchanged are too hot and you need something to douse it. You recall that wet heat from earlier and grab his top lip between your teeth gently, sliding your tongue against its inner side. Osborn’s hands around your waist clench briefly before he tilts his head and opens his mouth wider, guiding your tongue directly into his mouth and to a greater source of wet heat with his tongue.

Before you know it, one of his hands has moved up to hold the back of your head as he deepens the kiss aggressively, gradually controlling the tempo when he sucks on your tongue hard enough to make your entire body go limp. You collapse onto him with a whimper and the feeling of his hardness against your lower abdomen, as well as the way his other hand slides up your spine, sends shivers through your body.

In this quiet room there’s only the sound of ragged panting, wet pops and sucking, and the slide of swollen lips against swollen lips. Your ears burn at these suggestive noises but your awareness begins to blur at the edges from pleasure until you hear Osborn’s hoarse voice.

“Do you want to do something more than kiss?” His fingers ghost along the hook of your bra at your back, waiting for your next signal. Familiar images flood your mind and you reflexively clench your thighs, making him grunt and then laugh lowly at this pressure around his legs.

But just as you feel his fingers pinch your bra hook, you pull back from his lips and force your numb tongue to move. “No.”

He stills immediately. “… No?”

There’s a crouching predator there, like if your reason isn't good enough and you’re just teasing him by playing hard to get, then he’ll pounce on you and eat you alive.

You ignore the danger in his eyes to slide your hands to his shirt collar and then you twist your hands and shove Osborn down lengthwise on the couch. Of course, you both know that this is because he lets you, otherwise you would never be able to budge him. You move your butt up, deliberately brushing over the large mound between his legs, to sit more firmly on his taut abdomen and you hear a muffled groan catch behind his teeth.

Before Osborn can do anything else, you prop your hands on his chest and lean down until the tip of your noses are almost touching, and then you enunciate slowly, “I want to kiss you to death.”

There’s a second of stunned silence until Osborn bursts out in laughter. It’s a laugh full of genuine boyish delight and comes from deep within his chest, jostling you on top of him.

When Osborn stops laughing, he looks up at you with bright eyes. His eyes are so bright they’re like the color of an untouched mountain lake when the sunlight lands on it just right, making its surface glimmer and sparkle. The natural red at the corner of his eyes has deepened into a fetching flush and it brings out the layer of moisture in his eyes, as if you just need to touch him one more time and that lake in his eyes will spill over and turn the surrounding greenery into a blooming and wet springtime.

“Okay.” The softness in his eyes is almost enough to drown you. “Okay, then kiss me to death.”

But when he rises to meet your kiss, his hand settling on the back of your neck to pull you closer, you wonder who exactly is the one being kissed to death here.
