#Genderless MC

[imflyingfish]

In my personal opinion i dont think steve is a man but i also think hes not not a man and i think that Alex is not a woman but is also not not a woman.

[mistyscenter]

Me: ahah, i really like the fact that people are enjoying those Cove and Taliyah doodles 😊-

*the sudden realization that people are reading Taliyah as a woman hits me and gives me 1000 points in damage*

[teeth-farie]

i feel like the obey me fandom has a ton of blogs that have fem dni in their description and tbh it’s like..uhh..okay..? 🗿

i understand why they might feel that way but i noticed that a lot of trans masc ppl here are lowkey misogynists..? based on how they elaborate on some stuff

if i’m wrong pls let me know but idk it’s just something i kinda noticed lately

(mostly bc i only read dom reader/mc stuff and most blogs that write that, tend to have fem dni there )

No I think you’re absolutely right

Like being transmasc doesn’t exclude you from being misogynistic, just like being a cis woman doesn’t exclude you from being misogynistic- because I’m sure we’ve all seen women treat other women as subordinate to men

From what I’ve seen, the obey me fandom is really bad about that- and it’s like. Wanting your content to be only for other mlm is completely fine, but you have to word it as that. Because I’ve seen phrases such as fem AND afab DNI and that excludes an entire community of mlm. Men can be feminine and still be apart of the mlm community, same with trans men. So that in itself is incredibly transphobic as well. Save yourself from appearing as sexist and transphobic by just saying ‘mlm only’

Normal day for Alfonse Fire Emblem (I've already played a collective 10+ hours of Monster Menu demo across two profiles on my Switch 🫡)

Based on the fact that one of the default characters is two customization options away from Literally Just Being Hatsune Miku and I thought that was the funniest shit in the world when trying to decide on a fourth party member LMFAOOO

Also!!! Some of the process under cut bc it's funky haha and fun!!

Initial sketch, which looked pretty different than the final result, clean versions before adding the bg and the screenshot I used as the bg!

The first draft felt kind of uninteresting and also I felt like Alfonse just. Didn't look like himself??? Like I couldn't get the hair right.

I think adding the mouth panel makes it more effective and also calls back to what happens in the intro of Monster Menu! Also I feel the idea that his eyes have been open for A While and he's been stuck like that for A While has a very different effect.

*looks up visual novel game that interest me*

Oh cute characters.

*learns the mc is just canonly by default with no option for change, a woman*

...Ah...Well that sucks.

[clownsnake]

getting the sudden urge to make a new fursona thats literally just a Minecraft cow or maybe a frog because, as far as I know, there is no sexual dimorphism in any of the mobs in that game

[9miminana]

new♡gen redesings!

so, this is the final result!

it's waayyy too early to be excited about the launching of the game (since there's no date for it yet), however i couldn't let go of this idea so i went w it lol

about the characters, i gave each of them some headcanons, like devon being the artistic one—the kind of boss who actually puts care into his workers. i've been imagining that genoveva (i think thats the name of the new MC) meets him in sucrette's coffee shop before her first day at job, so when she arrives to the office and meets him she's shocked not only he's her co-worker, but none other than the founder and boss of the company.

roy's a himbo. he's one of those guys who is so attractive you don't even realize he's actually pretty funny (lol). loves wearing crop-tops and defines his own style as 'genderless'. chaotic bisexual. cried watching JJK.

amanda is a cruel, hot mean lesbian who wont hesitate if you mess with her, but soft-spoken once you get to know her and realize that her interests are the cutest.

if you can count don't count on him—thomas is the youngest. trans and very likely aroace, he might be one of my favorite now. i loved drawing him on a skirt, which he wears as an accessory! he's all punk rock, messy hair, chipped nail polish and revolution.

jason takes care of a stray kitty, who won't be a stray much longer. pale, sickly looking man who knows just enough about you to make you suspect that he's been following you. the patch of white hair is a genetic condition.

[yuri-is-online]

I'm asking this question because I find it an interesting topic. It relates to the criticism the Tokyo Debunker MC receives.

It's not just TD's MC—it's a common theme in otome and gacha games. Genderless MCs in games like *Obey Me!* and *Twisted Wonderland* face less criticism than female MCs. Even though the genderless MCs get some hate, it’s nowhere near the backlash female MCs receive. For instance, *Twisted Wonderland* had debates about a female MC being unsuitable for an all-boys school, despite the presence of monsters and robots. This debate ended with a female MC in the *Savanaclaw* manga.

Another example is *Tears of Themis*, where the female MC is well-received in my opinion due to her having a character. I am very happy that she isn’t a self insert and people seem to agree.

In contrast, female self-insert MCs like TD's MC and *Love and Deep Space*'s MC get a lot of hate for what seems like trivial reasons. TD's MC is often criticized for being ordinary, while LADS's MC, who is strong and brave, also faces backlash, with some claiming she's rude despite evidence to the contrary.

In conclusion.

woman mc in this day of age can’t have flaws now….wait no they can’t be prefect either! As then they are Mary sue! What do you mean that LI are grey sue as well? No that not true Leo having a backstory would justify his actions don’t you get it? What do you mean we should hold the male characters as same standard? Jin treating mc as a servant is her fault as she didn’t say no…..😐 

... so I have two lines of thought about this particular topic, it is something I have thought about for a while because I am working on my own game/games and pay a lot of attention to what people think.

It isn't personality people like it is competence

The love and deepspace MC and Rosa from tears of themis actually have very similar personalities. They are bad at/hate studying. They really love food. They both are sort of dorks and known for being kind. What people like about them isn't any of those things, what they like is that both of them are adult women who you can believe live on their own. They actually have skills related to their jobs, you can believe Rosa is a lawyer and that MC is a hunter, the love interests aren't the only competent people in the narrative. I think this can sort of relate to the target audience for both of these games being working women, but that's for a different post. Right now I really want to focus on that concept of competence: the two other otomes I really love and want to bring up are Amnesia: Memories and Hakuoki. The Amnesia MC makes a lot of really stupid decisions, but as the game title gives away she has amnesia. There is an underlying explanation for why she's a bit dim so I don't see too many complaints about her personality (outside of Toma's route but that is a different story) because you don't exactly expect her to be competent. The same goes for Hakuoki's MC whose name escapes me at the moment, she is the daughter of a doctor so she is never made out to be incompetent in medical matters, but she isn't the best fighter. And she doesn't need to be that's the male love interest's role in this particular story.

The problem with MCs like our dear Luna? I believe you said her default name is, in Tokyo Debunker is that we don't exactly have anything she is stated to be good at beyond boosting Stigmas. The various ikmen games get around this by giving their MCs a job, but we don't have that for Luna so we don't have anything to show some backbone or character so people read her as being a bit of a doormat. Like I have said numerous times before, I don't mind this and think that so long as they keep allowing us to see her thoughts this the writing will be good. A relatively easy fix to this could have been to make her someone who really loves music and constantly talks about it, she was going to a concert at the start of the game so that little bit of character would go a long way for her to be more of a human for people to project themselves onto. Generally speaking, when writing an MC, it is perfectly acceptable to give them certain personality traits and a history. But if you do that you need to make sure the narrative respects that interest and does not use it as an excuse to make the male lead look cooler.

Gender Neutral MCs

*sigh* so you bring up Twisted Wonderland and I uh... have some experience with that fandom! And I have observed the gender wars over Yuu with a weary heart. I genuinely could not care any less about how people identify or the type of o.c.s they make, but some people really really care and if I am honest I find that a bit disturbing. It honestly makes me sad to see fanfic, which used to be a really accepting space, fight over writing... well anything really. m/m blogs screaming about how they don't want fem aligned reading their things, f/f blogs screaming about men, the f/m fic writers feeling the need to defend themselves writing for a female reader- doesn't that exhaust you? Why do you care so much? I do not have the energy to care about people writing fanfic I am not interested in reading, is this because I am anemic or have I managed to be normal about one singular thing?

My personal theory is that the commodification of fanfic and fandom has made people think there is something fundamentally wrong with properties that are marketed towards people who are not them. The reaction to Love and Deepspace not having a male MC option sort of cemented that for me, there is nothing wrong with wanting a game where you can be a man or non-binary and date anime boys. There is also nothing wrong with writing m/m fanfic for a property like lds, or wishing you could play as a man in it. I think there is a genuine market gap in good games for people who aren't fem aligned, but you do not get good games by harassing people or implying they suck for wanting games where you can play as a woman. You get that by financially supporting projects aimed at you! There is a blog I follow on here called @amaregamesdb. They post a bulletin of projects, both vn and if, with an emphasis on making people aware of projects that aren't simply otome (ie male love interests with a female protagonist.) I think the people who run it are also the people who coined the term "amare game" to use for games where the MC isn't necessarily female. They also ran a blog to help people like me learn how to code if/vns so I am very grateful for them, so please do give them your support.

I write for a gender neutral reader because I wanted to write interactive fiction and felt like I needed to practice doing so. I have continued to do because honestly? I really enjoy it. I love seeing how many different people identify with my writing and are moved by it. There are some projects I want to do in the future (original works, not fanfic) that I probably will lock the MC to female for, but I want to continue providing gn fic for people for as long as I write. And original projects too! I have two in particular I am working on behind the scenes. The solution to the problems like "what gender is yuu really," if you will permit me to preach for a second, is to not care. Yana said Yuu was meant to be you, and dear reader I don't actually know who you are! So you can be whoever it is you wish to be in your heart and I will make room for you to sit next to me. I'll even make tea (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

[rjthirsty]

Today's rambles brought to you by extreme thirst and a tweet of someone sobbing saying they want to see him jerk-off.

For real real.

I call this: "I Want to Watch You Masturbate" with Ikemen Prince

NSFW under the cut. MC is genderless with no mentions of anatomy. All LIs are men. Luke didn't get a part because I just don't know him well enough. Sorry Luke fans.

Sariel is surprised you suggested something so bold. He'd be up for trying, but only if you're his nude 'baiting material. He wouldn't put it so crudely. You give in before he can finish and jump on that dick. It was hot.

Jin is 100% for it. He tries to talk you into being his helper, but to didn't ask to give him a handy. You still can't help touching him, though. Of course, he also wants to nuzzle on your chest to help, and while you're sure that's just an excuse, you let him anyway so you can watch him handle himself. Jin's a good sport about it all. It was fun.

Chevalier is weak to the requests you make because you rarely make them. If you want to watch him masturabate, he'll do it, but he needs some coaxing and heavy petting with you first. Already turned on, you turn the session into a mutual masturbation session, but Chev is back on you before either of you finish yourselves. You find it just as hard to say no to him, though that's probably because he doesn't ask.

Gilbert loves the idea, but his hands are always so cold, you see. Really ruins it for him. "But you're more than welcome to have a try" if all you want to see is someone tugging on his cock. He'll even direct you. Not exactly the same thing you had in mind, but you both learned something new in the process. You can make him make all sorts of noises and faces, and he likes when you take charge.

Clavis is intrigued. He'd much rather touch you, but if you handle yourself and he can watch, he'd do the same. A man of his word, the two of you pleasure yourselves, and both end up climaxing without so much as touching each other. Round two is the both of you using all that lust you built up on each other.

Leon agrees almost too easily. He likes to be in control of the situation, and he's a tease, so it really works out in his favor. But you can't touch yourself. He purposefully draws it out and antagonizes you until you're begging to be part of it. This didn't work out how you thought it would.

Host Keith is super embarrassed that you asked. He's not sure he could do it, and it would require your coaching if you want to push him that far. He's an absolute mess of a man and once he gets into it all he can think about is fucking you instead. You won't be safe from him pouncing on you.

Alter Keith takes a very different approach. He's ready whenever you are. He tries to get you involved in some fashion, asking if you want to try touching him, or touching yourself, or maybe just settling for some teasing banter as he works you up while he works himself up. You don't get out of it without being fucked too, ain't happening.

Silvio makes a fuss but goes along with it in his tsundere way. He could do that anytime he wanted to. If you're there, it'd be better to make love to you. He asks what's in it for him, and you agree to something ambiguous that you'll surely regret later. There are many complaints, like how you're looking at him so sexily or calling you out how you're enjoying it more than he is. It probably won't be repeated, but at least you got to watch once.

Yves blushes furiously. He's not even sure how to answer. He's going to need some coaching as well. Maybe you join to get him started, but the way you make him flush and look while stroking his dick is too much power for you to relinquish. It turns into a handy, but it was so. Hot.

Licht is a little apprehensive at first. He doesn't see the point of you're there, but by promising to sit naked and on display for him, he can tell you're serious and goes for it. He craves your touch, though, so even though he's jerking himself, he's touching you in some way. I can't decide if MC would be able to hold out until the end or give into the smolder in his eyes. Licht secretly liked being denied fucking you.

Nokto says there's nothing to it, but you also have to join in. No just watching allowed. Unfortunately, it turns into the both of you pleasuring the other in a mutual handfuck. That's okay, though.

Rio isn't sure you're serious, but once he realizes you are, he says he'll give it a try. He's such a mess, though. Within minutes he's practically begging to fuck you. He won't unless you say yes, but he wants you so bad. Training this puppy is going to be difficult.

(Hc's) Gamer Boyfriend! Gojo Satoru

Masterlist

Tags : Teen Gojo, Gamer Gojo, Classmate Gojo, Soft Gojo, Secret Crush, Best Friends to Lovers, Idiots in Love, Reader is Genderless.

The first time you met Gojo Satoru, you thought he was a typical basketball captain with a sunny aura emanating from him. He rarely talks to any other classmate; come on, he's so popular.

At that time, it was a nice summer in Tokyo. You and Shoko were cleaning the class, and he suddenly approached you, patted your shoulder, squeezed them a bit, and asked, "What is your Game ID?"

"Excuse me? I don't play such games, Gojo-kun."

"I'll teach you."

Such a weird boy, to be honest.

He brings two PSPs to school so you can play with him during lunch break.

"You know it's illegal to bring a console to school, Gojo-kun."

"Well, I have permission from Yaga-sensei. He gifted me that PSP as my birthday present. Hey, watch out; you'll lose."

He memorized all the gaming YouTubers' names along with their most-watched videos.

He wears a headband while playing games.

He is the leader of a gaming community's gang. It wasn't a bad gang; it was just a group of gamers who loved to share their interests.

He can spend 13 hours playing games on weekends, and he'll come out of his room only when his dad yells at him or when you visit his home.

Sleeping in class has become a habit for him. When he does that, he'll snuggle on your lap to hide his face from Yaga-sensei.

But Yaga-sensei always caught him.

His favorite song is Resident Evil—The Save Room, and he'll play that song while cleaning the classroom.

He always messages you when he's ready to play games. It almost makes you dizzy because he always spams you when you don't reply to him.

Despite how bad you are at the game, he'll teach you patience, talking in soft tones while guiding you step by step.

He rarely opens the mic, but when he does, he'll mock the other players and say how bad they are at the game. He's so aggressive, but you find it cute because he always tries his best not to include you.

"You're my best friend. I would never hurt you. Our team is just stupid; let's play another game, shall we?"

He loves Manga Cafes so much. He always invited you to join him and read all his recommendations.

"This manga is so good, but the MC is so lame and stupid."

Gladly to holding your hands in Akiba and making sure you don't fall or bump into someone else. His palm is so warm and big.

His mom loves you, and whenever he invites you to his mom, Mrs. Gojo will give you a nice and delicious cake along with expensive tea.

"Where's Satoru?" — Geto Suguru.

"He's in the manga cafes, I guess." — Ieiri Shoko.

Absent from school has been your weekly activity with him. But he doesn't want Yaga-sensei to catch you two. So you'll spend your time at his home, eating cake or ice cream, playing games, and taking a nap.

Of course, he didn't do anything else besides playing games or napping. He's a gentleman, after all. A good boy.

You can find him on Reddit.

He uses a combination of your name and his as a password for his computer, he even changes his Game ID to that.

He never cheats at games.

He is an admin of a Discord server and is talking about an underrated game.

"Hey, I know you and Satoru are close like a flower and water. But make sure to not miss my class, okay?" —Yaga-sensei

He hates Gacha games so much. He thought it wasn't a game at all. "My gacha luck is so bad this month. Oh, damn."

He has two different Twitter accounts. One with a cute avatar and only follows you. The other one he uses to share his gaming progress.

Gojo may be in love with you. Because every time you interact with someone else on the Discord server, he'll kick them; remember, he's an admin.

He loves to lean his head against your chest while playing games, and when he falls asleep, you let him be. He’s so dramatic but cute at the same time.

"Hey, I know it sounds crazy and lame, but hear me out. I don't know what will happen to us when we graduate. But I want to be your gaming buddy until we are old. Even if I have dementia, I will find another way to remember you."

"I want to spend my life with you, not only to play games but also to do everything with you. Because I love you."

【☆】Anomalous Law at the Mystery Diner【☆】

Pairing: Ritsu x genderless!reader

Genre: Fluff, oneshot

Synopsis: MC has trouble finding motivation to do their anomalous law assignment. They turn to Ritsu and ask him to work with them at the mystery diner, since he’s such a diligent worker and maybe some of that will rub off on them.

A/N: I can’t lie… I absolutely love Ritsu, especially after episode 8 released. I find him so adorable and he needs more love. I wanted the reader to be genderless so everyone could enjoy it, I wanted the MC to admire Ritsu a bit for being a hard worker. I find romances where both partners find motivation in each other to be so cute, I hope you enjoy! This is my first fic on this blog, feel free to request me anything ♥︎ (no smut!)

Find my requesting rules here!

╔══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╗

Anomalous Law was a subject that was a bit difficult to comprehend. Technical speak is often used and you have to be very precise with your words when writing papers. You didn’t need help writing the paper that Professor Moby assigned you (as much as you wanted it), but it was a tad boring, you started thinking a study buddy would help your motivation to flow. Since you’re the honour student and technically a first year, you had the same anomalous law class as Ritsu. He paid close attention to the class, since he’s already acquainted with the law, he easily flew by in the course. The idea was to invite him to the mystery diner, maybe seeing him be so passionate about his work could help motivate you in your own.

Hey Ritsu! Did you want to work on our anomalous law assignment at the mystery diner tonight? Specifically at 8 PM, I have a few errands to run before I can work on anything.

It wasn’t in your best interest to work so late, but some ghouls asked you to deliver some papers from the teachers. As much as it’s a pain, you’re indebted to a few of them so you feel obligated to help them.

You expected Ritsu to answer back soon since he’s so punctual, but you assumed that he wasn’t busy at that moment because he replied in an instant.

First, can you please confirm that the person I am speaking to is MC?

You found it amusing that Ritsu insisted on asking this every time, but you considered it a cute quirk of his.

Yes it’s me! Do you accept my proposal?

Thank you for confirming. This is Ritsu Shinjo, Sinostra’s representative. Can you clarify what you want during this meeting? My consultation fee is 5500 yen per half hour, tax inclusive.

No, I’m not looking for a consultation. I need motivation to do my work, so I was thinking that since we are working on the same paper that having you work near by would help me! Like a study buddy!

You should be able to do work on your own, but as a business partner it’s important to hand in work on time. I agree to these terms.

A sigh of relief escaped you, now you could have something to look forward to while running errands.

ʚ♡ɞ

You arrived a couple minutes before 8 PM, you expected that he was inside already and headed in quickly. When you walked through the door, the anomalous owner came out to greet you and pointed to where Ritsu was sitting.

“Thank you so much! Is Ren off tonight?”

The anomalous owner made an “ohh” sound, nodded its head, and went to the back of the diner. When approaching Ritsu, you could see that he had his laptop out and coffee already ordered.

“You’re right on time.” He looked at you as you set up your own area at the booth.

“It looks like you got here way before me!” You gestured over at his coffee,

“You can never be too prepared.” He had a small smile on his face and took a sip before speaking,

“As my business partner, I have high expectations that you’ll successfully complete your work at an above average level. After all, you need to have skills on par with mine if we are going to keep working with each other.”

Ritsu is always prepared to work, there’s a certainty in his voice and eyes that make you think that you can be at the same level as him if you work hard enough.

“Of course, I’ll make sure to do my best.” Both of you go to shake hands, as a way to celebrate working on this assignment together.

There was silence in the mystery diner besides the clacking of the keyboards. It didn’t feel uncomfortable, you found it nice that you two could work in silence. Being around Ritsu lit a fire under you, he makes sure to be thorough in what he does and include you in his process. He can be stubborn but you found it… adorable. You can tell that he cares about his family, he always talks about living up to the Shinjo lineage, and sometimes you get to hear about growing up with his Mom and Dad. It’s endearing that he wants to follow in their footsteps, he’s even memorized the Compendium of Laws since he was a child. You were slowly learning about him on a personal level, it explains why he is the way that he is. It’s the kind of dedication you need in your life, he chose to work with you so you do your best to live up to that standard.

ʚ♡ɞ

Hours passed by without a hitch. You were starting to feel tired after looking at the screen for… 4 hours?!?! You knew the mystery diner stayed open all night due to the owners being anomalies themselves, but you weren’t sure if you could make it much longer. You looked over at Ritsu and he seemed as diligent as ever. When you turned back to your screen, Ritsu must’ve noticed and made note of how tired you were because he started to talk to you,

“I’m going to refill at the counter, would you prefer a new drink?”

You were a bit slow in answering “oh… yeah sure, I need something in order to finish this early. I want time to proofread and edit it tomorrow.”

He picked up both your mugs and made his way to the front of the diner. He couldn’t make it in time though, because by the time they were refilled, you had your head down on the table with your eyes closed. When he came back, he thought to wake you up but left you alone. He looked at your work and saw that you were close to finishing the entire thing, he wanted to give you a break since you can’t do your best when sleep deprived. He shut your laptop and let you sleep, unsure of what to do with your refilled drink.

Ritsu continued to work until he completed his own assignment, which took about 30 minutes after you fell asleep. He figured that he should just wake you up and have you go back to your dorm, after all, a table isn’t the greatest place to get a good sleep. He didn’t want to just leave you to walk by yourself either, the mystery diner is relatively far away from the clementia dorm. The more he pondered, the closer he was to deciding that he’ll take you home for your own safety, he’s not looking to find a new business partner if something happens to you.. or at least that’s what he tells himself anyways.

He put his hand on your shoulder and gently shook you “MC, I’m taking you back to your dorm.” You opened your eyes and realized that you fell asleep while working.

“Oh god, I’m so sorry Ritsu! I didn’t mean to fall asleep while working!” You said hurriedly, He didn’t seem to mind and took your laptop from the table.

“Not getting any sleep is bad for productivity, you won’t be able to think straight and submit work that’s deserving of a high grade. Let’s start walking.” You felt lousy for sleeping in his company, but if he had a problem with it he would’ve voiced his concerns.

The two of you walked out of the mystery diner and towards Clementia. You were still tired from being woken up, your body was yelling at you to stop and take a rest. You were falling behind since your legs didn’t want to move at a faster pace. At this point, it would take forever to get to your room. Ritsu looked behind to you and offered his arm, you linked your own arm with his and started to pick up the pace. He slowed down for you but it wasn’t ideal to be walking at a snails speed.

It was a silent night out, not many people were up this late. The people that were outside tried to stay out of each other’s way, since they had their own business to tend to. It was on the colder side, but being close to Ritsu kept your body temperature from dropping. You’ve never been this close to him, it was embarrassing that he had to help you walk but you appreciated his help. He’s never shown this much hospitality so it was surprising to witness it firsthand, a little part of you wanted this walk to last longer.

Eventually you reached the Clementia dorm, Ritsu went inside to set your laptop down on a counter. As you sat down on the bed, you remembered that you did not completely finish your assignment,

“Oh… Ritsu what about the paper?” He looked at you and pulled a piece of folded paper out his pocket, shoving it to your face. You took it and started to unravel it,

“No need to worry, I couldn’t help you finish it because plagiarism is strictly against the rules, but I wrote down some pointers after reading what you have. At the pace you’re going and the advice I’ve given, I expect that you’ll do exceptionally well.” You were a bit dumbfounded, you could only imagine how silly you looked while staring at him. You quickly collected yourself and put the biggest grin on your face,

“This will help so much, if it isn’t too much to ask… could we start working on more assignments together? I had a nice time..” you trailed off and looked to the side in embarrassment, maybe you said more than you should’ve.

“I got more than plenty of work done. It’s beneficial for both of us, two birds with one stone.” He folded his arms and smiled at you, it was getting late and you could feel that he was about to leave,

“We will discuss this at a later time, I need to catch up on my own sleep. Meet me tomorrow in the cafeteria at 12 PM.” You got up to see him off, leading him to the front doors of Clementia and being careful of where you step. “Alright, that sounds good! See you in the afternoon Ritsu, have a good night!”

While you and Ritsu waved goodnight, you could feel yourself heating up. When the door closed, you went back to your room and all you could think of was seeing him again. The day started replaying in your mind as you turned over to fall asleep, why was it so difficult to get him out of your head?

It was more than odd that Lucifer would lead you to the House of Lamentation's garden as opposed to the different places around the Devildom that the others took you to. Even more so when you spot a decent looking ice fort between two bushes of the once blooming Hellfire Roses and Hell Roses that you once helped replant in the summer.

You don't remember ever having built a snow fort before, so this must be recent. It's very quiet here, when everyone's out somewhere in the Devildom to prepare for the Frost Flower Festival. Though you suppose finding comfort in solitude isn't surprising for the eldest brother.

"Everyone must have dragged you around town by now. I figured you might be tired, so I built a snow fort in the garden for us." You both know that isn't the only reason, but you shake it off to spend time with the eldest brother.

Lucifer gestured for you to enter first. "It's much warmer inside, go in."

Crouching down to semi-crawl through the opening, you enter into a well-lit snow space. On the floor are layers of rugs and blankets to keep warm. There are no windows and the only way out is the entrance. A low table sits in the middle, with a thick blanket draping down the sides. On top of it is a heat lamp and a tea set with steam wafting out of the cups. You immediately crawl over to the table and bring your legs under it, sighing in relief at the warmth. Lucifer was right, this is exactly what you needed after all of that walking and stressing. Not to mention all the work you put into the festival.

"This is a furniture I brought home from the human world in one of my business visits. I believe it is called a 'kotatsu'," Lucifer explains as he also crawled into the snow fort and settled into the table. "I stayed at a local inn during a harsh winter like this and they had this inside each of their guest rooms. I bought one and only just remembered we had it tucked away in the storage room."

"Please, help yourself with some tea." You nod, bringing your hands to hold the cup, taking small sips as the steam ghosts over your nose. It tastes very floral and heavy, spreading a nice warmth from through your throat and down your stomach. You set down the cup but keep your hands wrapped around it as you let out a breath, letting it cloud over your face.

Unfortunately, the open entrance brings in a cold breeze that elicits a shiver down your spine, your hands unconsciously start rubbing your arms to find warmth. Lucifer chuckles as he leans forward on the table. "Are you still cold, MC? If so, I can warm you in my arms. What do you say?"

You roll your eyes and sarcastically reply, "it's so cold. The White Wolf won't need to freeze me because I'll already be a frozen sculpture by that time."

He smirks at your sarcasm, finding it amusing, "Hmm, well we wouldn't want that. Come here." He leans back and pats his lap, "you can sit on my lap."

You grin, crawling over to his side of the table and sitting on his lap, your side resting against his chest as his arms wrap around you. You wrap your arms around his torso and close your eyes, laying your head on his shoulder as you let out a content sigh. "Lucifer, you're so warm."

Lucifer tried his best not to smile, instead forcing his mouth to frown as he scolded you. "No falling asleep on me." But it didn't hold much against your peaceful face and your warm body against his. You felt so precious like this, so perfect. His eyes soften as he mutters under his breath, "....well, I suppose I wouldn't mind having you like this for a while."

It was quiet for a while then, with only the sound of the winds howling outside and the beat of Lucifer's heart in your ear. Lucifer wishes these moments could last longer, wishes that things didn't go the way they did. His arms tighten around you at the memory, and you open your eyes to look up at his tense expression. There's something that's bothering him, and you know exactly what it is.

His voice lowers, tone heavy with someone who has experience loss before and is going to experience it again. "Should we end up losing the House of Lamentation, I promise to find a way for us all to live together again."

You sit up straighter on his lap, looking into his wistful red eyes. "You better. I don't want to be separated from any of you at all."

He looks down at you, and the glimmer in his eyes makes your heart swell. He brings his hand up to caress your hair, pushing stray strands away from your face. "Me neither. I have no intention of giving you away to someone else, especially if I cannot be certain that you will be safe. I will ensure that you can rest easy by my side. Is that understood, MC?"

You nod and Lucifer smiles softly, his soft lips brushing your temple in a gentle kiss, "Good. Now, I want you to stay with me for a few more minutes. I'm sure Diavolo will forgive you if you're a little late."

Diavolo

You were, in fact, more than a little late. Though something about Diavolo's smile tells you he doesn't mind. He takes you to a nearby parlor, arms linked and a smile on his face. He leads you to a part of the parlor that is more secluded, more private. There is a long table filled with various ingredients and toppings, as well as a giant sherbet dispenser with various flavors.

"We can make our own original sherbet for the Frost Flower Festival here." He explains. He turns to you, putting his other hand on top of the one you're using to hold onto his arm, smiling at you. "What do you think about making a sherbet parfait for everyone of our friends?"

"Are we going to eat all of them?" You ask, uncertain about the idea. Sure, you love food, but even then that was a lot of sherbet. Even if it was divided between the two of you, you don't exactly like the idea of being frozen from the outside and the inside.

Diavolo laughs, his hand waving away your worries, "Take out is an option. We can eat all the parfaits together later if we want. That would make a wonderful memory as well."

You nod, relieved, going over to the table full of assorted ingredients, looking for something specific for your first parfait. You spot a bowl of crushed hellfire mushroom cigar cookies and a bowl of custard filling that you mix with red food dye, using them to make the parfait part. You go over the dispensers and put a Tartaros mango-flavored sherbet on top. To finish off your dessert with a swirl of lemon and strawberry syrup with two pieces of wafers shaped like horns as decoration.

Diavolo was watching the whole thing, and his heart swells with a warmth that could only be ignited by you as he realized what you were making. "You made my parfait? I love it, it looks delicious." He grins and turns to the table, brimming with excitement with each move he makes. "Then I'll make yours."

And that was how you spent the rest of the day with the demon prince. You each take turns making special sherbet parfaits reminiscent of everyone you love, sometimes making a mess and enjoying each other's company. The cheerful music dances around you both, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere.

Diavolo would sometimes stare at you as you work, intrigued and impressed with the ingredients and design you come up with for everyone of your friends. The Lucifer one he thinks turned out incredibly adorable and fitting for the firstborn. At some point, while making Simeon's, he thought about inviting you over to the Demon King's Castle to do this with you again. Maybe it wouldn't be sherbet parfaits, and maybe you would only be making desserts for yourselves, but as long as you two were hanging out like this again Diavolo would be happy.

Again. The word triggered something in the demon prince as he almost let go of the bowl of crushed dried hell blossom lilies that he wanted to use. His thoughts trailed over to the Winter Wolf and what would happen later, his hands starting to shake as his brows furrow.

When it came to Raphael's parfait, you came at a road block. You don't know much about the angel, other than he's the only other being that can stomach Solomon's cooking other than you, so his sherbet parfait is a bit difficult to make. You stand there, hand on your chin, trying to think when someone's voice cuts off your thoughts.

"...I won't let you go, no matter what." You turn to Diavolo, surprised at his sudden outburst. He is already looking at you, a sudden seriousness on his face that only comes when discussing about things that pained him. "As the future demon king and as someone dear to me, I will not allow any harm to happen to you." His eyes soften, a touch of worry creases his eyebrows. "I hope that our wonderful memory together reaches the White Wolf of Flowers. If it does not, then I might not know what I or the others will do if it turns awry."

You put down the two sticks of Gehenna licorice you were holding to engulf Diavolo's hand in both of yours, smiling at him, "It will, and if it doesn't, I will make sure of it."

He stares in your eyes, quiet. Slowly, a large grin erupts on his face as he wraps you in a tight hug. His chin lays on the top of your head, "You are very special, MC. Not only to me, but for everyone as well. Thank you for sticking with us, thank you for understanding us. We will all not be here without you. We will not be who we are today if not for you."

"I love you, MC."

If MC sheep ever gets officially into a OM anime as a main character...I hope they don't truly speak.

I mean they still will talk, but you just hear them make baa noises. While subtitles show up to translate what they are saying. But everyone can understand them easily. pffff

[mistyscenter]

MC is such a genderless being inside my head, unless If it's someone OC, that when I see them being referred to as "she" I go "!?!??!?!??" And completely forget MC can be a woman. Not only but MC can be, get this, a cis woman.

Essentially I've been stuck inside my little transgender brain for so long that I forgot that cis women MCs can be a thing and some people don't fuck around with gender in the game, which is weird because Our Life is the genderfuckery game for me so cis players are always a jumpscare to me lmao
