#Demonic allies of hell

[kentnaturaltribrid]

“I just color the truth, a bit. That’s all.”

These are from top to bottom based on their level by color of eyes is all are still equal to Evermond but they’re at their own pace of leading as well; Delyle (Evermond’s half sibling), Leveran (Also a half sibling of Evermond), Circilica (Evermond’s twin sibling & Leveran’s half sibling). Delyle for the lady of Lies, Death, and Secrets, Leveran for Leverage and Levikalitry (Keys), and Circilica for The lady of Truth and Sacredity, of which these three are the most low key known by name but the strongest of the 17 known members. They’re considered completely complicated, but up to Evermond and these three are known as the Everlasting family. It’s a lot more than just a name, they’re also well established allies and have their own connections to magic and other things necessary for them, but it’s not as complicated as one may expect from them. They follow rules as much as any other of the realm they live in and have further knowledge of the Memory than most would consider a mere knowledge of the basics.

Though, most of us know Not all of the others in his family there’s also the non-allies which should be well known by reputation to those who know Evermond. However, they’re not at all to be trusted and not to be mentioned by name. That’s about it, there’s no going back once one sides with them.

[strawberryraviegutz]

Can we PLEASE be normal and agree that all kpop demon hunters ships are valid instead of shitting on/writing off ships and or thinking that a ship is a moral failing or “less progressive” just cuz said ships are m/f.

Are yall forgetting the target audience for this movie?? Like yeah the movie is for queer ppl too since there’s a queer allegory in the movie’s overall message and kpop fanbases having a huge queer community, but this movie also had in mind women and young teenage girls who obsess over kpop boy bands along with shipping themselves and or other kpop stars with said boy band members both male and female.

I still wanna enjoy hunterix yuri so bad bad because im a multishipper, but at the same time even as i was watching the movie I already knew ppl were gonna start shitting on Rujinu, zoestery, miromabby, and the Saja boys and the ppl who like these ships and the Saja boys as a whole and it’s leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

Hell even before the movie came out ppl were jumping this one person who made a ship post about Mira and Abby. And yes representation IS important but that doesn’t mean m/f ships should just be disregarded as “not progressive”.

When did we suddenly start deciding that a woman and a man being attracted to each other is a detriment to the feminist/progressive movement?? Like yall do realize that CisHet allies exist, right? You’re not automatically “more progressive” by shipping gay ships.

I’d argue it’s more misogynistic to send a message to women that if they’re attracted to and or want to have relationships with men then that means they’re a danger to the feminist/progressive movement or have “less value” which does nothing to help our movement at all and just ends up excluding other women which also goes against our movement.

Feminism and the progressive left movement as a whole is all about EQUALITY. Feminism quite literally involves helping men too because EVERYONE is negatively affected under the patriarchy.

Men may not be oppressed for being men but that doesn’t mean that the patriarchy doesn’t affect them negatively. Feminism isn’t men vs women, it’s everyone vs misogynists/the patriarchy. Also bold of u to assume that Rumi and Jinu are straight.

Considering the parallels to Rumi’s story and the way many queer ppl feeling about their own identities feeling like they need to hide themselves because of shame, it’s obvious that she’s not straight and could be bisexual. Just cuz a bi woman falls in love with a man doesn’t make her any less bisexual/queer.

And Jinu is a 400 year old demon. He probably had centuries to experiment along with the fact that queerness did exist in Korea and Asia as a whole and was a normal part of their cultures pre colonization hundreds of years ago and the same goes for the other Saja boys. Mira and Zoey can be attracted to girls too of course but them being shipped with men wouldn’t make them any less queer especially if the men in question are also queer.

Plus we all saw how all three of the hunterix members reacted when they first saw the Saja boys(especially Mira and Zoey who had LITERAL HEART EYES WHEN THEY LAYED EYES ON THEM. Along with Abby’s Abs continued to make their eyes do the popcorn thing 2 times later on in the movie and Mira literally calling them hot the first time.).

Any of the hunterx x Saja boys ships could quite literally be bi 4 bi or bi 4 pan(with the saja boys being pan with the reasons being my previous statement about them being over a hundred year old demons who had plenty of time to experiment.)

Why can’t we just agree to disagree and ship whatever we want without putting down/sending vitriol towards other ships and or the ppl who ship these ships?? We’re already in a low empathy crisis as is and yall are just making it worse. Focus that same anger and hatred yall put into sending hate towards ppl over pixels on a screen towards calling ur senators/reps about pushing back against the facist regime that the orange man is trying to plunge the US into.

Like seriously guys what will it cost u to not be an asshole to others for liking something that you don’t like? Get off your high horses and BE NICE TO EACH OTHER AND RESPECT ALL SHIPS.

[agape-emo-eros]

I'd say that opposite of Satan in Heaven's hierarchy would actually not be God but Metatron. Beelzebub and Gabriel appear to be equally high up the corporate ladder at the head of some ruling council. And like the dukes of Hell report to Satan, Metatron is the only one that can overrule the archangels.

We don’t talk about this moment enough? Why did Dagon STOP the moment Michael shook their head?

DAGON, GET UP 😭😭 WHY ARE YOU FOLDING AT THE SIGHT OF A PRETTY ANGEL’S DISAPPROVAL??? THIS IS SIMP BEHAVIOR I’M TELLING YOU 😔😔😔

[robboyblunder]

As promised I went ahead and continued my "ghoul guide" with a part 2 (part one linked in replies)! This one covers stuff specifically with a made up lore guide of in-world ghoul stuff as if they were a sort of unique magic entity.

This one wound up way longer and had to be split so expect a third final one eventually lmao. for now though... I'm gonna take a break and yell. Bonus extra info plus the transcript under the cut!

ID in ALT text!

Bonus note: While not portrayed in the guide, it’s important to know a detail about ghouls’ origin called “memory echoes”. While ghouls are formed from humans past who lose all memory of their previous self while maintaining an assumed personality from before, at times certain instances of events, actions, items, and otherwise can trigger these “echoes”. Echoes are very rare, but a valued treasure to ghouls; they make them feel more connected to their past and more “human”. Upon triggering an echo, a ghoul will become completely listless, unable to respond or react until the echo has completed, usually within seconds.

“Memory echoes” are described as blurry faded memories that often show featureless shapes and colors, but a very strong “feeling” of a Deja-vu of the moment. They feel viscerally real and can have a mix of the senses i.e. touch and smell, but produce no recognizable faces or imagery of the self. No ghoul has ever reported fully remembering one, nor any semblance of their true past beyond the haunting leftovers.

A Compendium of Hell’s Derivates

While there are many theories on the demonic nature of ghouls,

The true source is surprisingly Human.

Souls cannot be recreated; rather, they’re Recycled and Reborn

The cycle of ghoul creation started for unknown reasons…

But one thing is Certain:

Natural forces do not change easily.

Raw elements collide with the fuel of life itself until one connects

by His command

A violent injection of pure elemental magic

Rewrites and erases all memory and one’s past, drastically altering the soul…

These new powers lend to the powerful allies of the ministry,

However….

… new powers are a dangerous toy.

While coined as “Feral”, new ghouls would better be designated “Raw”, “Unbound”, and “Lawlessly Dangerous”

First formed, they are still elements;

Torrential, Aimless,

Incapable of coherent thought or rules

-but with time, coherence returns to the individual

Who grows much like a life cycle’s stages without necessarily aging.

The overall cycle is the same per ghoul, yet varied enough each rises differently…

First form: “Raw” – Second form (1): “Feral” – Second form (2) – Third form: “Stabilized”

Catalyst, violent, poor formation – Unaware, wild, chaotic – Conscious; can act like oneself; less raw – fully formed and recognizable

The first form, “Raw”, is notably so violent the devil himself does not release them until stage two.

The second form in stage one of a “Feral” ghoul is much like the forces of nature; free willed and wild, understanding minimal speech.

Take caution: they can be mischievous and cause decent damage.

In the second stage of a “Feral” ghoul, they behave like typical people; however, they’re still very free and may choose to never fully stabilize.

Note: you can tell they’ve reached this stage by presence of a tail and civil habits.

If desired, a ghoul reaches the final form: “Stabilized”. They’re transformed into a stable humanoid body, a form less powerful but safer.

Note: Talented ghouls can change form at will in this stage between secondary Feral and Stable.

When it comes to location, each form is most likely to be found:

Raw: Hell, contained

Feral (Stage 1): wilds/natural areas

Feral (Stage 2): wilds and civil areas

Stabilized: anywhere people go

Seeing feral ghouls is not uncommon, and can even be considered lucky!

They tend to provide free protection to keep their home

Ghouls can only stabilize via ministry ritual;

One can assume they’re ministry members if stable, even off duty.

Ghouls are uncommon, but found most places if looked for;

This seems especially true near ministry placements.

Ghouls only form from adults and don’t “age” traditionally, yet they’re still mortal

Deceased ghouls do not seem to return or recycle.

Summoning intentionally pulls only second stage feral ghouls or stable ghouls from anywhere,

They don’t always like this however (see other guide).

The cycle of ghouls serves a main purpose – as forces for the Dark One, in return for rebirth

However, there are two channels through which they serve.

1) Natural defense against corrupted holy magic

Non-stable ghouls defend at will naturally where they live

2) training to fight, protect, and uphold the ministry’s efforts in the name of the Devil.

Contrary to belief, summonings cannot grab from “nothing”;

Like the creation of a ghoul,

Their element, once developed, is what becomes pulled by nature

The force of such pull is incredible,

A disorientating test of will so great…

…it can render even the most sound minds rather violent.

This is why while some choose to stabilize, others may not;

But should a mind change, they can be freed or re-summoned.

Alternative to wild summoning, one can summon from trained ghouls over feral;

Many ghouls are trained for ministry positions all over, but any can be summoned if unassigned.

Though stabilized, unassigned ghouls are not contractually bound to anyone until assigned.

They’re great for extra work hands and being able to know what kind of team mates you’ll get without leaving it to chance.

Summoning any ghoul however reverts them to feral form, and the challenge to tame them remains the same.

Just because you know a ghoul does not mean an easy summon.

Finally, be warned: forcing unwanted breaking or upholding of a summoning contract

Will have dire consequences.

Aside from rarity of an element, there are “power classes” within each element.

Tiers:

Rarity of an element does not equal strength.

The break down is as follows:

Rare – extreme and dangerous power. These ghouls earn a specialized title.

Quite strong, stand out in their class and very sought after.

Most common tier; average and decent powers that are expectable.

Weak powers, but some uses are applicable.

Uncommon – ghouls who possess little to no powers. Ghouls in this tier may at times suddenly change power tier without warning to any other category.

S-Tier ghouls are quite rare and a sight to behold- truly, they embody nature’s power.

✶⋆.˚ YOU SAW ME MOURNING MY LOVE FOR YOU ── VERGIL

୭˚. ᵎᵎ summary: Vergil swore to protect his son and his wife from anyone, but even from himself?

୭˚. ᵎᵎ content warnings: F! and half-angel!reader, reader is Nero's mother, Vergil mentions her as "wife", references to DMC5 events, mention of Dante, Eva, Nico and Kyrie, blood and slightly mature words.

⭑.ᐟ In one condition, — perhaps, another dimension — a certain circumstance, the marital union, a bond so affectionate and prestigious, between the half demon, who was the son of Sparda, and a woman, who had blood ties, relatives, with a fallen angel, would cause the birth of a child. — Throughout his growth, he could face his own father.

⤷ Lost souls, who buried themselves in the underworld, facing punishments and retributions, and divine creatures, who followed different paths, but maintained their punishments, knew that the future consequence — and the plausible, admissible forgiveness of Sparda's son against his firstborn and his wife —, was caused by himself. — And he knew it like no one else.

⭑.ᐟ Vergil could never believe in the spells, manipulations or achievements of divine creatures. — He remembers, slowly, stirring up his past, little stories his mother told him about cherubs, angels. — However, he would not stop denying, resisting or defending himself from the charms of the daughter of a fallen angel; the one who, for delighting in a human woman, was condemned to eternal suffering, being sealed by the divinities, by those who swore to be allies. — For the first time, he realized he was vulnerable to feeling.

⤷ Sparda allowed himself, granted, to witness something burning in his chest, consuming him more than his selfishness, pride and arrogance in the search for power, the desire to be equal to his father; and he, blindly, succeeded. — Understanding the reason for a passion, adoration for your existence.

⭑.ᐟ Nero had been born; it was a blessing, an apollonian gift. — Sparda's first grandson was kept, protected, in the arms of his eldest son; who would not dare tolerate any approach, mention or conformity in front of the child. — He had his father's eyes, maintaining the same color in his hair, but, he transmitted an energy, a familiar feeling, that only you conveyed to Vergil.

⤷ That small, fragile and sensitive creature had his blood running through his veins; he was part of a celestial and demonic lineage. — Vergil had become a father; he found it hard to believe it every second as he held your hand. — Finding it hard to believe if he could fulfill his father's role.

⤷ Vergil would kill for his wife and son; he would destroy hell, exterminating every creature that lived there, he could annihilate human civilization. — He would do anything. — But you didn't know if he was right in protecting them from his own vainglory; you feared for that, it distinguished the man you loved.

⭑.ᐟ On Nero's sixth birthday — it was contradictory, the sweet coincidence; his father had been almost the same age at the tragic and fatal event that marked his life — Vergil left; holding, with all the strength that burned in his body, the yamato, feeling his wedding ring wrapped around the handle with a cord. — The ring that promised his bond, marriage and trust to you; all his love for you.

⤷ You knew he would do it; you knew your husband, but it didn't stop causing pain, suffering, anguish in your chest, in your heart. — A torturing and disgusting sensation, something you had never felt burning; not even when you were seen as an immoral, sinful being by divine creatures. — A void that was never filled, no one could do anything but the one who caused it, the one you continued to love, intensely.

⤷ Dante memorized Eva; as a child, he witnessed the sadness that overflowed his mother during his father's permanent absence. — He wanted to believe that his brother would return and risked the small percentage of trust he had left in Vergil.

⭑.ᐟ Nero, risking the desire to have the same “respect” and composure of those who had always been around him — intending, hoping to follow the same path as you — continued to be a demon hunter; you, accompanied by your maternal instinct, could not stand the idea, but you knew that idea would not leave your son's head under any circumstances. — Of course, he had the blood of Sparda's most obstinate and stubborn son.

⤷ In a few cases, situations and hunts, Nero accompanied you; obeying your orders and following rules, and always questioning them all. — He did not answer you, did not refute and would never dare to disrespect you; even during your discussions about his father, who never had the opportunity to recognize memories of him.

⭑.ᐟ Only one day, during your short absence in the afternoon, Nero, fixing the van, after having told Nico to hurry up and eat, had received the presence of someone hooded; therefore, a homeless person, probably very hungry and thirsty. — He knew that Kyrie always, always cooked more than he should and would take advantage of the situation to help; you always educated your little boy, and he was grateful for that.

⤷ However, the eminently unknown person focused his attention on the young boy's demonic arm, which shone brightly, causing Nero to feel a certain strangeness. — Without the chance to question, again, what the hooded man needed, Nero had his arm ripped off and transformed into a sword, a katana, capable of forming a portal; without looking back, the unknown disappeared, leaving the boy, who screamed in pure pain, bleeding.

⤷ After your arrival, Nero didn't want to leave your arms, he didn't care how vulnerable, defenseless, and touchy he appeared in front of the people present in the house; for the first time, that rebel released his destroyed bonds of sadness and fear. — Your son questioned why, with anger and blood in his mouth, and who could have done this; you would never forgive yourself, never.

⤷ And not only because you were far from Nero, not protecting him as you should have, keeping your child, something that has your blood, so exposed; but for another reason. — You knew who had done that cruelty, that damned fatality; you knew.

Not said | Sylus

I'm in love with this man, and I wanted to introduce myself by writing something about him in the best way… fluffy and self-indulgent! I hope you enjoy the read, English is not my first language ;; Likes and respoted are aprecciates!

It was crazy...

Yes, crazy. Because... How did you go from repudiating and fearing the infamous leader of Onychinus... to... to this?

His soft hair shook as he rocked his face to the left, settling his sleeping form better into your bed. And, clearly, as the mature woman you are and not at all affected by his celestial beauty, you did not annihilate the voracious impulse to shake your legs and slide your fingers through his pretty grayish strands.

You sighed, feeling out of place in your own home. In your own bed! With the curtains closed, somehow trying to wipe most of brightness of Linkon's sun, that your... Ally? Buddy? Lover...?

Gosh, you weren't even sure about that...

Yes, definitely, crazy.

You couldn't even try to figure out Sylus. No matter how hard you tried to collect each piece of his complex puzzle... Most of the time you felt at a dead end.

You blame his pretty voice, his sharp but gentle features, the damn way he pronounced your name, and how he acted when it came to you. God, his damn treatment of you...! That started being so cold, almost spiteful, as if with his words and behavior he will "subtly" (because the bastard wasn't subtle at all!) demand that you remember something he didn't even bother to explain.

The memories in your mind were confusing, blurry and melancholic.

It was strange...

You did not remember exactly that mysterious past, and your "first" meeting was undoubtedly bitter... And now, much to your regret, is the moment where you most feel that your relationship with him wanders on a different astral plane! Completely unrelated!

Because... What the hell were you two?!

There was something implicit there, something mutual that, for better or worse, neither of you had dared to utter. Plus, he completely contradicted himself at times like these. Where the words become extinct, the walls collapse and only that soft perfume of vulnerability remains that surrounds both.

When the cold, calculating and demanding leader became a mirage, leaving only a man... just Sylus.

When he laughed at your antics, and his pretty eyes crinkled in tenderness. Or when he poured honey from his lips, calling you affectionate nicknames that made the butterflies in your stomach flutter. The stolen pettings, where his fingers lingered longer than they should along your hair, those times when his knuckles subtly traced your shoulders and the sides of your arms, or those moments where he let his fingers protectively around your waist.

Moments like these... Where without warning he arrived at your apartment, and took over your bed. If you had a nickel for every time his actions nearly gave you a heart attack, chances are your wealth would begin to rival his.

"Can't you sleep?" His hoarse, sleepy voice startles you, tearing you out of the limbo of your thoughts.

"How could I? It's past twelve." You complain, to which he hums, slowly opening his eyelids.

And there it is again.

Those damn eyes... Those eyes that looked at you as if you were the most important thing to him, with absolute adoration. Full of that affection that made your skin tingle and your knees weak. God, how come this man who initially acted like a demon... Did it end like this?

Overwhelmed, you decided to look away.

His large hand cupped your chin with a firm softness, encouraging you to return your gaze to him.

"Yeah? Is that why you haven't taken your eyes off me?"

Damn.

At this point, it should no longer surprise you that he'll notice those things... But damn! That didn't make it any less embarrassing.

He must have noticed your embarrassment, because his sly smile widened.

"You were looking at me with such intensity that I thought you were going to pierce my face, kitten."

"I-I don't...!" Excuses die out in your tongue, there is no use arguing. You push his hand away and sigh. "Just... I was just thinking."

That gets his attention. He rests his face on his bent arms, and you try hard to pretend that it is something as banal to other mortals as settling into bed, they make it look so perfect, so ethereal, like a muse out of a painting.

It was driving you crazy.

"Yeah? And what were you thinking, pretty?"

Once again, you have to do your best to put on your best poker face to disguise the effect that their disgustingly (wonderful, perfect, amazing) cloying nicknames have on you.

"Nothing in particular..." Your lie is evident, especially by how you avoid his gaze and nervously play with the bedsheets.

He hums, of course he doesn't believe you, in fact, you're sure he already gets the idea... But, as always, he gives you your space, followed with silent reverence the path you chose, and sticks to you with each of your decisions.

Instead, he pulls your arm and wraps it around you lazily, settling your face into his chest, barely hidden under a thin tank top. You can feel his nose on your hair, gently inhaling. Shame pulses through your bloodstream. 

"Sy-Sylus...?!"

"Just pretend I'm one of your plushies and try to get some sleep." Sylus pronounces, and you perceive how drowsiness quickly takes over him. There's nothing you can do, not when those strong arms have you happily captive in their embrace. You can only huff and resign. You listen carefully to the pulse of his heart, as erratic as ever, even when he is in this calm state.

The haze of your memories returns to you for an instant. The smell of sulfur and blood, your fingers on a sword and his voice encouraging you not to stop pressing the dagger... Or else, there would be no turning back.

Absently, your fingers outline where the scar should be, unaware of the effect your touch has on it. He shivers, one of his eyes opens and you feel how his gaze shines with intensity, while he holds your wrist firmly with his fingers.

"Kitten..." He warns, and you lower your hands quickly. He laughs, that rich tone, snuggling back into you.

Once again, a sigh leaves your lips. You imitate him, burying your face in his chest, delighting in the persistent rumble of his heart and the manly scent of his cologne.

Yes, there was a lot he hadn't said... But his actions were very clear. And that was enough, at least for now.

[the-silver-peahen-residence]

"But that's so cool though! He was able to learn that from that series and he's really striking hard." Miko said impressed with Yuria agreeing. Now both girls were silent but they were nervous. Yeah, Yuji is someone not to mess with. Including if it involves someone messing with his friends and baby sister. He kept his word to keep her safe to everyone and for the DBT back in New York.

"Impressive. Impressive indeed Yuji.." Gojo smiled proud of him seeing the strikes.

~~~~~~~~

'Not bad Yuji....Not bad at all. Seems you learned a lot from that book and it's hitting back! Keep it up and one more good strike should finish him!' Sukuna said but Yuji kept focused but he was shocked abut one thing.

Did Sukuna just call him Yuji and not brat!? Damn, the king was very impressed and it's hard to impress him! Still striking, Yuji went faster and faster showing some gusts going behind the tree as it cracks more and more. He made sure to weaken him enough before he pulls back his arms and quickly delivers the final blow.

"Divergent Divine fist: 200 cursed strike technique!" he shouted delivering the final two hits hitting Hayato that it sends him right through the tree breaking it with such force with a explosion right after that shook the area.

Seeing this, Yuji deflects the attack but hits him even harder! He was not going to let up. He was hitting him so hard the hits were pressing Hayato against the tree bark cracking it.

~~~~~~~

"W..wow, where did he learn that!?" Nobara said shocked.

"..H..Hold on, that looks familiar....where did I see this before.." she mutters to herself trying to remember. Yuria was seeing this before remembering.

"You know, that looks like something from that one manga we found..uhhh what was it called Naruto? It looks like that one attack from that one clan where they strike using their fingers." she said.

"..You mean the Hyuga clan?" Yuria said.

"Y..Yeah that!" she said watching the screen. Did Yuji take up a idea from that one manga and made it into something of his own?

[long-live-astronerd-ghost-king]

DPXDC prompt. Adult!Danny x Sleep-deprived!Constantine: We seem to have a misunderstanding.

Warlock was willing to admit that the Phantom’s company was mostly useful and not unpleasant. Because of the specifics of his work they had to meet quite often. It was nice to be at least a little sure that you wouldn’t get stabbed in the back. The new ghost king seemed to be amused by the World of the Living and that was quite useful. In addition, the Infinite Realms had a history of endless conflicts with Hell, so when demons was messing with him, Phantom was happy to put sticks in their wheels.

However, the current enemy of the League was another alien. Both John and Phantom happened to be nearby. But it seems ghost had no reason to help Hellblazer now, as this fight had nothing to do with his kingdom. Given that Batman had explicitly instructed John to stay on the battlefield, it seemed that if John Constantine wanted to count on a weekend, he would have to use his trump card now.

Constantine: In view of the urgency of the situation, I would like to make a proposal. Life offers many challenges. I know I can meet them if you're willing to face them with me. In the spirit of saving time..[holding up a ring] This is for you. You in?

Phantom: I..I don’t know, John. I mean i want to say yes but It’s all so sudden. Please gimme some time to think, okay? And let me help to deal with these invaders first and then we’ll talk about it.

John: ..Sure?

~~~~~

Tucker: Whoa crazy battle dude. John: Civilians are not allowed here. Danny: It's all right. We were going to meet at a cafe, but now, well, there is no cafe. I mean, he's with me and not so civilian, okay?Ehem..John, meet my best friend Tucker. Tucker, meet my..Em, this is John, and he's kinda my John. It's new for us.

Damn. He was in a hurry and offered more than he should have. It turns out the ghost had an interest in protecting the city. It is unlikely that he would allow the destruction of the place where one of his humans lives.

And worst of all, Phantom did not accept the ring (for which John had to hunt for several months) as payment. Constantine got it specially in case he needed a favor or a way to calm the anger of the spirit he was starting to get along with. Like, really, John spent a fair amount to own the artifact which would have neutralized the consequences of wearing a ring of rage. But Ghost didn’t want it? Why? And yet he helped. So John was in debt.

And how it's all at a bad time. The peace treaty and the treaty of cooperation between the States and the Infinite Realms was concluded only recently. Of course John didn't even have time to discuss the terms of their deal because the blushing ghost flew away to fight but to say that he won't pay for the service is like admitting that you want to start a new conflict. Constantine was starting to have a headache. He'll think about it when he gets at least a couple of hours of sleep. Whatever payment the ghost needs, it can wait a couple of hours.

~~~~~

But as it turned out, the ghost couldn’t make up his mind and decide what he wanted from him. He started showing up at John’s place and looking at him thoughtfully, also recently dragged him to pick out a suit. How he could be mistaken for a stylist John did not understand but preferred not to unnerve a potential ally.

Moreover, for some reason the chaotic creature decided that he had the right to condemn John for always forgetting to have dinner or take a bath. This scoundrel dared to lock him in a bathroom with strange scented candles and colored water. Whatever these bath bombs were, dumb spirit failed to poison him but now John smelled like peaches. Disgusting.

After breaking down the door he found the same mess with candles on the kitchen table. Phantom fought a fierce battle with the green goo in the pot that he brought to John's house, but eventually gave up and they ordered delivery. All in all, it was a pleasant evening. Of course John didn't admit it but for some reason Danny decided that he could make such a mess every Friday.

~~~~~

Danny: So..me and Morningstar are friends now. Do you mind? I know you don’t get along very well. John: Why should I care? Your friends are your business. Considering you’re crazy about the stars I’m surprised you’re not sleeping with their maker.

Danny: Hell no, Lightbringer is great. And I’m glad he’s sharing with me what I wouldn’t find in books but I would never cheat on my partner. John: Good to know. (Wow, who knew the Phantom has a lover.)

~~~~~

Morningstar: I have no idea what you see in this arrogant man, stardust.

Phantom: I don’t know. It’s interesting to be around him. You never know what’s going to happen tomorrow. And his determination and sarcastic nature are really charming.

Morningstar: Well, I’ll get rid of some of his contracts for your wedding but only because I like you and not because I’m willing to deal with this liar.

Phantom: Thanks, Luci,  you’re the best.

Morningstar:That’s true. But it's not free. I need you as a babysitter to keep Spawn busy while, well, Detective and I are busy.

Phantom: No problem :)

Apologies for any grammar or spelling mistakes my schizoaffective kinda makes those mistakes invisible to me lol

Well…happy pride. I made a comic last year here which covered my queer hate to queer pipeline I had as a kid raised in a Christian conservative community. That comic was originally just meant to be one-off until the election happened in which I wanted to make another one. The increased queerphobia (ESPECIALLY transphobia) happening within the US is frankly infuriating. I’m less afraid of my own safety (no matter what the state of the US’s view of queer people is, I would be miserably in the closet for most people I know and the ones I wasn’t still consider me subhuman which I assume is why I feel this way) and more for other queer people, especially my trans friends. I don’t really have much to say other than please stay alive, if you have to celebrate your queerness in hiding then do so. If you have to reach out to others to support you in times of crisis then do so. You are not alone, there are millions of us, many who are protesting these attacks on us. Hell, there’s even cishet allies who protest alongside us because they want us to have equal rights. So please keep hanging on!

Head Cannon

Bruce never actually learned how to act rich till he was already in his early 30's due to traveling for training and still forgets most of the stuff he learned because he so used to just focusing on his family and being Batman. The perks to being rich? Your rich! There are no other perks!

Dick was raised in a circus, and despite joining Bruce and the world of rich at a young age, Bruce still doesn't teach him anything about being rich other than how to act nicely and how to hide from paparazzi,

Jason is notoriously from Crime Ally, he knows less about being rich and how to use the power of being rich, he will learn the proper way to act like he has money, just to do the exact opposite because F the rich. And Steph has the EXACT same mindset

You would think Damian knows how to act rich and all the perks to being rich because he's the famous Al Ghul the demon head's grandson right? Nope, he trained how to kill people and how to lie, not how to flaunt money

Tim drake is the only Wayne that is raised on what it's like to be rich and rich perks and sucky parts. You want to get into that one really exclusive club on 14th Street? The one with the 4 month long waiting list? Tim could bring you and 10 other people and still get in without a reservation. Tim can tell you how to properly mix 40 different types of alcoholic drinks because rich people are obsessed with alcohol . Hell you want a free drink just join Tim at a bar near the diamond district because people who are famous get 2 bottles of whiskey free of charge.

Spot the Difference: Thomas Hutter VS Jonathan Harker

It's very understandable (and intentional!) how one can see so much similarity between Thomas Hutter and Jonathan Harker. Especially prior to their awful adventures concerning certain undead Counts.

Case in point:

Hearts full of love. Heads full of wife. Want to do a good job. No idea what kind of gothic bullshit is about to hit them.

Practically twins! So, where is the difference?

Well:

Baby boy. Honey muffin. My sweet little lad who tried so hard and suffered so much and did everything he could and still lost all he loved anyway because his wife loved him enough to murder-suicide her demonic stalker about it. Cradling him so so gently.

And then there's Jonathan.

What if I sold my soul to make sure I could personally drag Dracula to Hell for what he did to my beloved? What if I spent a solid month sharpening my knife, mentally calculating what it would take to murder strangers and my own allies if it meant defending my not-quite-human wife? What if I was no longer quite human myself? What if I didn't care? What if I crawled walls like an animal and had a paralyzing hollow burning gaze that had people soiling themselves and running to get out of my path and my hands turned to ice and I gained spontaneous super strength to slam dunk Dracula and his dirt box into the ground and I lopped his head off in the bleeding light of sunset? What if?
