Fragile Human

HEYYYYY, I’m not dead, just got really busy. I’m starting a new series and I should update it fairly regularly. This is the intro, it’ll be a fluff piece about the brothers taking care of you while you are sick. (Also thank you guys so much for almost 200 followers and I’ve been gone for 6 MONTHS, thanks so so so much!!)

Genre: Fluff (I’m basically just a fluff writer cause that’s what’s fun for me but I might dabble in angst)

Warnings: Reader is gender neutral :)

Part 2 (Lucifer)

Part 1:

While you were readying yourself for a new day at RAD you noted the odd ache and the heat rising in your body. Trying to ignore it you finish dressing yourself in uniform. You knew that you couldn’t skip out on lessons. At least not without a fight. Your stomach combatted your notions of wellness by churning uncomfortably. You ball your hands into fists and fight through it as best as you can. You woozily meander down the hall to breakfast. The boys eye you suspiciously, recognizing the uncomfortable grimace you were failing to mask. They all paid it no mind however and simply greeted you.

Trying to swallow the food was taxing, your head was pulsing and you could feel the fatigue dulling your movements. You knew that something was wrong, but what could you really do about such a thing? You were in the Devildom, the possibility of getting meds or sympathy were very little. Barely finishing your breakfast you stood and immediately regretted it. Your vision faltered, and you swayed and staggered a little before you fell backwards. You were only out of it for a few moments before you heard a chorus of concerned voices. The boys’ heads appeared above you. You squinted and tried to lift your head and felt the back of your throat clench. You felt absolutely terrible. 

Beel helped you sit up as you couldn’t do it on your own. You groaned and held your head, feeling the pain throbbing worse than before. 

“YO! MC, what just happened, you lost your balance or what?” Mammon chimed in, concern decorating his face.

You merely mumble in discomfort from his loud voice in response. Peering at all the confused and concerned gazes you were getting you attempted to play it off. You didn’t get a chance to get up and run from the embarrassment however. While Beel helped steady you he furrowed his brow, you felt incredibly warm. He held the back of his hand on your forehead and frowned more.

“MC, why are you so hot, I thought humans weren’t that hot-blooded,” Beel mumbled, confused, you were usually cold (by demon standards).

“Probably a fever, I’ll be alright,” you groaned, glancing around the room, the looks on the brothers faces just got more confused.

“Fever? Elaborate, MC, what happened to you?” Lucifer demanded standing above your form on the floor.

“Probably just caught something-,” You attempted to get up and you wobbled causing Lucifer to have to reach out and steady you by the shoulders.

The brothers exchanged glances, they were mostly clueless when it came to human illness. Belphie was once enamored by humans but he hadn’t wandered too far into the study of human immune systems. Satan had limited knowledge as well, he never regarded human medicine as necessary knowledge. Immediately they all felt jolts of varying levels of panic. What were they to do about their human? 

“Are you saying that you’re sick?” Lucifer inquired, cocking up an eyebrow, he admittedly was concerned after seeing you fall like that. He wasn’t sure how to go about this. “Do you think it’s severe?”

“I-” As if to prove that the sickness was there to stay, you were interrupted by a harsh cough. “I don’t think I can attend class, I know it’s really important, I’m sorry Lucifer, I know that this-” You began to ramble, and were quickly interrupted by Lucifer raising his hand.

“I’ll allow it, if you’re not well I don’t want you attending classes in poor condition,” Lucifer declared, his gaze softening a little at your meek gaze. He nervously pulled his glove off and lifted his palm to you. He waited until you nodded in approval and he brushed his hand softly over your forehead. He raised his eyebrows slightly in shock, you were much warmer than he expected. Gathering that you weren’t lying he waved his hand, giving a brief gesture as if to dismiss you. “ Alright you’ll stay here today but I don’t want you all alone.”

The brothers all glanced at one another and sat still as they waited with bated breath for Lucifer to declare who would be the one to stay with you. 

“Alright, ________ shall be the one to stay with you,” Lucifer declared.

To be continued…

Part 2 with Lucifer will be up soon! :) (I’m gonna do all the brothers for sure and maybe the side characters if this does decent)

just like honey~

[catiov]

look at him, love him, cherish him.

oh my god i love you so much mammon :(

[catiov]

Mammon being greedy and constantly hoarding things away from all the others makes sense. That whole ‘scummy second born’ characteristic he has is what defines him as a demon and as a character. He’s the Embodiment of Greed. He does this shit all the time. The stealing, the lying, the gambling- all of it! Even his brothers seem to be under the impression that he doesn’t care about anyone else but himself. Which is just wrong, to put it in simple terms. Mammon does a lot for his family; they just fail to realise that.

Quite a few of the limited edition figurines and anime DVDs sitting on Levi’s shelf are from him, y’know? He made it seem like it was no big deal, that he found them lying around on the ground and he just happened to stumble across them and, out of the generosity of his own heart, handed them to his brother who was obviously excited to receive this kind of rare equipment. And the third born believed him because that sounds like a Mammon thing to do, since why else would he have such precious possessions within his reach? And give it to him no less, when he could’ve sold them for a lot of money??? In truth, Mammon probably went into debt trying to win these things and proceeded to spend weeks trying to get his hands on at least one so he could give the damn toy to his brother already. As an early birthday gift or something, idk what excuse he had in mind because he still has a reputation to uphold so he can’t be caught being a softie now, ya hear?!

Satan woke up with a cat in his room once. No tag, no owner. He swore that was the happiest day of his life simply because this random baby kitten found its way into his mess of a bedroom and he decided it was fate that such a wonderful thing were to happen. It took a while for Lucifer to agree but eventually he had to give in because Satan was being persistent, so he agreed on the condition that it’s just ONE cat and he better not come home to find a million of them sitting in the living room. Yeah, Mammon brought him that cat. He found it on the streets, in an empty alleyway or something, thought Satan might find it cute and then just…brought it home, I guess. And afterwards, he sneaked it into his brother’s room and pretended to act surprised the next day when its discovery was announced. He was also the one to convince Lucifer to let Satan keep it. Also, turns out the cat DID have an owner and Mammon just stole a pet, without even meaning to.

Asmo knows Mammon buys him make up kits and clothes from time to time. What he doesn’t know is that Mammon buys a lot of his jewellery too. To put it simply, the second eldest gets some really expensive looking-ass necklace, shoves it into a lower demon’s hands and tells him to go on and ‘give it to Asmo over there! He’s gonna love it, no need to thank me. You’re gonna earn some brownie points with the Avatar of Lust, good for you small, insignificant demon. Now just do it already!!’ Essentially, he’s too embarrassed to give these gifts himself but this is a regular occurrence that he forces onto others of lower status lol. Asmo comes home every time, flaunting this new gorgeous pair of earrings a fan of his gifted him and Mammon just goes ‘Whoa, that thing must be worth a fortune! Why dontcha hand it over to me, eh? C’mon, older brother privileges’ and the fifth born yells at him to stop being such a greedy asshole. The whole time he’s putting up a font so he doesn’t get found out because it would hurt his ego immensely if the others knew. Rinse and repeat after a couple of days….

The twins are easy because for Beel, all he needs to do is make him his favourite dish as often as possible and take him out to a few restaurants every once in a while to make him happy, which is good enough for Mammon, even if his wallet is screaming at him by the time they’re done. Belphie wouldn’t even notice this, but half of his pillows have either been ordered by Mammon on Akuzon or stolen from somewhere. I would be too afraid to ask where he stole such high quality pillows and blankets but yeah. Actually, those are two of the many things he does for the twins, the others including:

-Doing quite a bit of schoolwork for Belphie when he misses his classes (though he sometimes jokingly asks for compensation) or for Beel who stained his notes after salivating on them in class

-Sewing a few of Belphie’s pillows that he knows his brother used to like a lot before they ripped and had to be discarded of

-Always lets Beel know where his twin is because Belphie has a habit of falling asleep in random places and he doesn’t want Beel to worry about him when that happens so if he happens to spot him, he always tells Beel first so he can go and get him back to their room

-Etc…

Lucifer is last, mainly because Mammon doesn’t really give him a lot of physical gifts. I mean, some of the pricey alcohol the eldest has displayed in his office is from him but for Lucifer, Mammon was mostly there to provide him with emotional support. Especially after the fall happened and they all transformed into their ‘deformed’ demon forms for the first time, unrecognisable from the beautiful angels they once were before. That’s why Lucifer has so much trust in him-it’s because he knows Mammon is the most reliable demon out there and has always been there for him, quietly supporting him from the sidelines because he knew his brother had too much pride to ask for help from others. If I had to guess, Mammon would’ve had to pull Lucifer out of countless nervous breakdowns and self-pitying lines of thought, even more so after Lilith’s death. Honestly, Lucifer would’ve been totally lost and even more closed off than he is in the game at the moment if Mammon’s hadn’t been there for him. Actually, I guarantee you everyone would’ve fallen apart if Mammon was the one to die the Celestial War instead of their sister just because he’s the glue that’s holding them all together.

This post got really long but the point I’m trying to make is that Mammon loves his brothers and none of them really appreciate it enough because they’ve got this painted image of what they thought he should be like in their heads and therefore take all of his actions, as sincere as they may be, with a grain of salt. Obviously, these are just my HCs but I’m sure there are times where Mammon wonders if his siblings care for him at all or if they really dislike him as much as they let on. I know I would start thinking like that if I grew up in an environment where I’m constantly being insulted for the most minor of mistakes, since negative behaviour affects and sticks with you for a long time.

Cayrie’s Guide to the House of Lamentation - ✨

Heya, fellow MC’s! 

I’ve spent almost my entire weekend working on a simple floor plan for the House of Lamentation. I was trying to write some dumb fanficiton, realized that I had absolutely nothing concrete to anchor these characters to, and that was a problem for me.

Internet searches left me empty-handed. I found a lot of impressive Sim houses, but they didn’t really give me what I was looking for. So, I came to conclusion that I was going to have to make my own. 

There are a lot of small, often contradictory details about the HOL that made this a pretty daunting task at first. Then I just said fuck it and rolled with the punches. I took my liberties to make something that worked for me - and hopefully, it can work for you, too!

I like to imagine that my MC self actually did take time to create a map like this for her own benefit - and to the benefit of anyone else who might need it. (Potential spoilers ahead + map is not to scale)

AN OVERVIEW:

I took the time to scan my original drawings and upload them in a way that’s easier to read, (hopefully). From here, I’ll start from the Underground Tomb, and work my way up. The individual levels can be found under the cut:

genre: fluff and crack and maybe tension

part one || part two || part three

THE LAST POST DIDN’T REACH 60 BUT I’M POSTING THIS ANYWAY BECAUSE I GOT ACCEPTED INTO ONE OF MY TOP THREE COLLEGES SO LET’S CELEBRATE

i like what the ending implies. if y'all want more then please get this to a shiiiiitload of notes or if another college wants me

[catiov]

Bond: So, what is Louis to you? Moran: The reason I wake up every morning. Bond: …That’s adorable. Louis earlier that morning, barging into Moran’s room, smacking pans together: WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!!!

[catiov]

idk if this is a drama or what but i really want to let this out

some people are really disappointed that irene adler is james bond, saying yuumori ruined irene adler's character. although granted the people who talked about this are not those knee-deep in the fandom i'm just happy we collectively agree that james bond is a trans man, but it still does not step away from the possibility of people policing this story. soon enough they would, if that infamous sherliam hug will get animated

but i hope these people (who police the story by saying stuff "this isnt what happened in the conan doyle canon *ugly cries*") know what the fuck they're whining about because YUUMORI IS NOT MERELY AN ADAPTATION, IT IS A TRANSFORMATIVE WORK. in simpler terms, it's a fanfic. it's only an adaptation by demography in which japan took it from the british canon and made it to suit japanese demography and form, which is manga and anime. BUT it is also a transformative work in a sense that they put new twists in it, add their own lores and headcanons, and make a whole new thing out of the original while also following the timeline of the stories in canon. and if you're asking me why adaptation and transformative work are two different things: adaptation merely gives a certain literary work a new form (e.g. from novel to movie) and even adding new stuff in it comes at the risk of a court case, meanwhile a transformative work allows a creator to have freedom with the original work. that's what a fanfic does. it's one of the privileges of having sherlock holmes stories out in public domain - anyone can fuck around with it, and that's what yuumori did. and i'm glad they did that

honestly, this is not even something that should be talked about intensively. some people, if only they read the manga, should have understood this from the start. what was the use of william explaining it in that omake before chapter 1?????? this is why yall should listen to the teacher

OooOoOoOh, flirty voice

The translation notes are amazing!

Sherlock: You promised that we’d have dinner after the train incident, didn’t you?

Translation: You promised that we’d go on a date after the train incident, didn’t you?

These 2 ooze gay energy.

Sherlock: A genius

Also Sherlock: A failure at math

PROUD MARRIED PARENTS!

THE TRANSLATION NOTES!!

Anime boys

Simps

YOUR lord of crime? Really, Mycroft? You’re terrible at this.

He’s adorable.

THE TRANSLATION NOTES-

Milverton is probably homophobic.

He called him Sherlock!

"catch me, don't leave me alone."

we all sympathized with william in that line because we'd seen him suffer through the brunt of responsibilities of being the lord of crime. but it actually goes deeper than that. i hope anyone hasn't forgotten that william is an ORPHAN. he and louis, technically, are ORPHANS. and that is something both of them cannot get away from especially with how the society was constructed during their time. even though albert had adopted them, it came with A PRICE. william needed to orchestrate ways to kill albert's family just so he and louis can be accepted as moriarty, but if they hadn't killed them, they will never be part of the family. they will remain as orphans, estranged and with nowhere to belong to in the world.

although william is lucky he has louis because he's literally the only family he has, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't come with a struggle. as an eldest sibling, he has to take care of him, so he must do everything in his power to ensure their survival, even if that means having to take up shady jobs for them. add the fact that louis has an illness, and william can't afford to lose him or he ends up being alone - he is scared of that prospect - and maybe that's why he readily accepted being adopted into the moriarty family even if he knows it's going to be one hell of an experience, just so louis can get the treatment he deserves. then again, william also accepted being albert's crime consultant because that way, he and louis won't have to suffer in the streets anymore. the fact that he has to do way shadier jobs, and even orchestrated his first crime in killing albert's family even though before it was mostly helping robbers in their heists, don't scare him anymore because it is all to survive. william is familiar with the pattern - poor people like him, orphans like him who are the poorest of the poor, will have to turn into monsters to survive. he saw it in his life first, before he started reading the same pattern in the society, and it's how he births his goal of changing the social system.

william looks at himself and his own brain, then looks at the twisted world and swears, "if no one's going to fix it, i will."

his dream is to see the world where people like him won't have to become monsters to survive. he has two options: to solve it in a lawful way, or the lawless one. hence, in the merchant of london, he tried the first one. what happens when you brought your concerns to the court? turns out, even the justice system is corrupt, and his circumstance by that time, where he's still an orphan, isn't much better so he couldn't stand a chance against the whole social system if he stays being an orphan. that's why his last resort is albert's offer. then, lo and behold, it's the most effective one. even though it's a method that works outside of the law, he can't bring himself to care. people like him have to turn into monsters to survive, only now he turns himself into a monster to make society better - hitting two birds in one stone.

and his dream remains the same, and he wants that dream to happen because he believes it's possible and it's the only thing he can hold onto. but only at the condition of staining his own self and not others, and definitely not louis. he wants louis to live in the dream he envisioned. one of the people he dedicates his dream to is his brother, who has always been by his side and whose protection and care william has always ensured. it will be for nothing if louis can't experience it, and he thinks louis can't experience it if ends up being stained with sins like him. william knows what that feel like - having lost your humanity is not a life worth living, and he doesn't want louis that carry the gnawing guilt. it's okay if it's only him because people like him, an orphan like him, will turn into monsters in order to survive. he wants louis to be exempted from that to know that his dream of a world where people do not have to be monsters to survive is possible.

then, he meets sherlock - the first consulting detective. it's a profession no one had ever envisioned of becoming, and william sees right away the potential of it being able to change the world. that's why he made sherlock the hero detective because it's perfect for uncovering the crimes of nobles and exposing them to the world who has been ignorant about it for some time. of course, sherlock didn't realize the world-changing potential of his job, because he was only after mysteries. that's all he wants. but it's a job that william himself would have wanted, in another world, in another life, where he has more tools and resources at his disposal, where he is more privileged.

but no matter what opportunities that come william's way, he has always known how his plan would play out. in the end, he would have to die because a monster like him doesn't deserve to live. it would be a stain in the new world that would come. he doesn't want to live as a dark history of how the new world became to give people the chance of seeing that it is possible to have a world where you don't have to turn yourself into a monster to survive. william doesn't match in the new world he dreamed, he has always known that, even though things are far greyer than they are that even the holmes family have their own faults.

it's why william thinks it's important for him to die. it's his fate as an orphan who will forever be estranged from the world because he turned himself into a monster. in the end, william embodies the fate of poor people like him - the dark reality of their lives, where they have turn into demons just to live.

but he'd rather die than be alone, because being alone is good as being dead. it's has always been his fear, in the way he'd done everything for louis to live so he won't be left alone with no family, in the way that he helps others with their problems and concerns because he knows what it feels like to deal with your struggles all by yourself with no one around to guide you because you were born into the world with no parents, no guardian, nobody at all.

william knows it's his destiny to fall back into darkness just as how he was born into the world from within the darkness.

but maybe... maybe if someone is out there to catch him and not let him fall back into that abyss...

so imagine, how soft and reassured william must have been when sherlock comes around and tells him,

"finally, i caught you. i won't leave you alone."

Sorry guys, I have a question.

I’m not English and it’s really difficult for me understand the pronouns for the identity, why you use (example) she/her/hers? Why not only she?

Also.. what kinds of pronounce you use for someone who feels as she, he and they?

Thank you ✌️

[catiov]

All right.. first of all, I’m nonbinary

Sooo, today I was talking with a girl that I like

Me: “You know, in all lesbian couple one of them is nonbinary”

She: “eh? That’s not true!”

Me: “really?!”

She: “yes yes”

Me: “well.. to make it true... do you wanna start with us?”

The most “sad” pickup line ever
