#and meph was like. ‘oh. ok.’

[clickbeetle]

the concept of mephisto just. suddenly being part of the Asmo Night group chat has always been so funny to me. we’ve got the literal embodiment of lust, his mischievous puppet master of a boyfriend, a random human who accidentally charms everyone, and some rich guy deep in the closet who just kinda got strung along and is like “idk why i’m here but i’m sure as hell not leaving now”

most normal friend group. i want to bully all of them.

my god he is so in denial

(unlocked from the Wishes Take Flight card)

[mageofseven]

OH OH I'm so excited! Seeing at this new Meph stuff has me giddy bc he's a character that my MC would absolutely say fuck all about while hiding his hand.

Which leads me to a rq of him! I was thinking of him and MC who absolutely talk like they despise each other but MC is just. Sitting in his lap. Or the other way around Meoh is riding on their shoulders.

It's 3am here so sorry if this sounds weird-

Ok this is cute 🥰

I think I can make a nice little scene for these two based off of this prompt, but I am unsure how long it will turn out.

Let's see, shall we?~

•▪︎▪︎◇°●♡●°◇▪︎▪︎•

"This is so stupid..."

"You're stupid." The demon responded back to the human in his lap.

The two were in the newspaper club, sitting at his desk. The school day was over and the two were hanging out like they always did though no one could decipher why.

"Gee, don't you sound mature." MC responded sarcastically, laying back against him.

"Says the child." He scoffed, tightening his hug around them. "You've only been in this life for a literal twenty years; you are too ignorant and naïve to function."

"Why, because I'm not old as balls? Because I'm not like you and haven't been around since 'man make fire'." The human mocked him with a caveman tone.

"Why you--"

Suddenly, the Newspaper club door opened, revealing a member here for the club day.

The two at the desk scowled at him and the poor minor demon could practically feel murderous intentions radiate from the two before he slammed the door closed for his own safety.

"Rude."

"Completely rude."

"Who just does that sort of thing anyway?"

"Ill mannered plebians." Mephisto shook his head at the door before kissing the human's forehead. "I'll have to have a word with him later."

"Good." MC took one of his hands and hugged it to their chests. "I hate you."

"I hate you more."

Thirty seconds of silence passed before MC added.

"Hey, can you get the blanket out of the drawer? I'm cold."

"Of course."

And with that, the demon opened his desk drawer and pulled out the light blanket he stashed in there for them before covering MC in it.

"There you are, human."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"But I still hate you."

"The feeling is completely mutual."

This...'relationship', or whatever you call what is between these two weirdos, confuses anyone around who even for a second can compare their words to their actions.

What the the fuck is going on, no one knows, but the 'couple' is content and that counts for something, right?

wip wednesday why not both edition

I really thought everyone was going to pick Maevetash and then it was just split enough I am doing both.

First is Maevetash having a fight after the heist because Maeve kind of uses the slayer form without ever telling Enver about it (even though he knows it from rumor, etc, but he's never seen it and she drops it on him when Meph sends out his fake "oh no not my croooown" fight to make them think he isn't letting them get away with it (he is)). Warning this is first draft no edit.

jump with Z'rell under the jump you fucking monsters

Maeve dropped her focus, causing the portal on the floor to close. She took in deep breaths of non-metallic air, shivered at the comparably cold air of the material plane. Then she realized that Enver was shouting. “What in the hells was that stunt you pulled?” He was in her face now and she pulled back, blinking up at him. Then she realized he was talking about the Slayer. “I believe I saved our lives--” she started to say, but he was shouting over her. “I don’t even want to know how long you have been hiding that little trick, Maeve, but —” She shouted over him in turn. “I do not owe you any explanations of anything I — ” “— I will not tolerate you changing a plan on a whim to suit your —” “— am able to do or when I choose to do it, Enver, if you didn’t notice there were a dozen —” “— tastes and terrible decision making whenever you let your emotions compromise — ” She grabbed him by the shirt front and whirled him around, slammed him against the wall. He fell silent as the breath was knocked out of him and she kept him silent but putting her forearm against his chest, pressed on him to make sure he could only breathe enought o keep himself alive. “You will not question me. I give you information as I see fit and you will be happy when I do so,” she snarled at him. “You are losing control,” he finally said. She pressed even more. “I assure you, I am perfectly in control of myself, Enver. Now, do you have the crown or do you not?”

OK and the Z'rell is a what if my big half orc dyke Tav got caught while they were freeing the tieflings/dark gnomes in the basement and maybe Z'rell takes a special interest in her:

When she is sure that the woman’s dark eyes are focused on her and not just pointing forward, Z’rell smiles. “A true soul for a true soul,” she says. “But you aren't just any true soul, are you? You’re something different if you can fool me like you did before.” The woman does not reply. “You are a prize, to be sure. What is your name?” The woman starts to speak, then she coughs. The sound of it is wet, suggesting internal bleeding of some kind. Z’rell waits her out, waits for her to beg, and then the cough turns into a laugh. “You can’t even get my fucking name out of my head, can you?” the woman says in the voice Z’rell remembers from earlier, a deep rumbling sound that matches the woman better than a voice ought to. Blood runs down her chin and she begins to laugh anew. She sounds almost delirious, quite likely is after all her injuries, and after a moment she is back to coughing. Z’rell waits again, makes sure that it is quiet enough for the woman to hear what she has to say. “I haven’t even begun with you yet. Why don’t you spend the night in that chair and we will see how you feel about things tomorrow?” The woman smiles, white tusks against pink lips against coated-red teeth. “It’s a date then.” On her way out of the prisons, Z’rell pulls a guard aside and makes it clear that the woman is not to be out of anyone’s sight. As she climbs the stairs, she thinks to herself that is a shame that the Chosen will likely have the woman killed by morning. She looks like an awful lot of fun.

Burnt Luigi (Post #3)

Sorry, no video footage was able to be recorded yet, and I don’t want to even know what happened with my game or what Luigi did to it (he might’ve damaged it; that green plumber did it). I don’t know; I recently felt my computer overheating at times, and on my desktop, I was hearing deeper laughs of Bowser playing on a loop and screams of Luigi burning in the lava in lethal lava land.

Though, even if I didn’t record any footage today, I wrote down some things that TakeASoda and I said on the Mario Amino:

Me: Hello, what do you need, TakeAsoda? Are you asking me about a post violation or something?

TakeAsoda: No. It’s regarding your theory of the second post.

Me: Please specify, please.

TakeAsoda: Ok. So, you know how you came up with the fact of someone over at Nintendo getting angry at the fact Luigi wasn’t in Super Mario 64, right?

Me: Ohhhh yeah, that, I remember now.

TakeAsoda: Basically, it’s true; that employee literally threatened to kill everybody in Nintendo of America; someone I knew who worked at the company at the time told me about this, and he had to evacuate the building.

Me: Did the deaths of Mario and Bowser mean to replicate anything relating to the threats?

TakeAsoda: Yup. One time, he told me that the employee wanted to drown someone, and for another person, he wanted to decapitate them.

Me: Oh wow, what was the employee’s name?

TakeAsoda: His name is unknown, and he exclaimed himself Luigi for some reason. He had an obsession with Luigi for some strange reason.

After that talk, TakeAsoda ended the call and sent me and other leaders and curators to a private chat together to discuss it with people like eeh1229, meph, odd.grump, and other admins of the community that I’m following.

Me: Oh?

TakeAsoda: Yeah, I created this private chat just now.

Luigi joined the conversation.

TakeAsoda: Wow, I didn’t invite him.

Me: Yeah, where did this guy come from?

Meph: Don’t disappoint Luigi.

Eeh1229: Don’t disappoint Luigi.

Odd.Grump: Don’t disappoint Luigi.

FYI: Those were the only people who said that message; other leaders and curators remained silent.

Me: Wow, what the actual crap was that?

Me: Don’t disappoint Luigi.

Me: LUIGI SHUT UP! HOWEVER IS DOING THAT HAS TO STOP!

TakeAsoda: I think it’s the Luigi user; someone has to kick him out.

Luigi left the conversation.

Me: Thank God...

TakeAsoda: Yeah, who was that?

Me: Ben?

TakeAsoda: What? No. He didn't drown. Be serious, Joseph.

Me: Ok, sorry, this is confusing and intriguing.

BURNT Luigi joined the conversation.

Notice how the user’s name has BURNT at the beginning of the text. How did this happen? I think the fact that I’m on Amino’s desktop site means the virus might’ve found its way into the browser; I don’t remember ROMs doing something like this.

BURNT Luigi: I am Nintendo.

BURNT Luigi: I am Nintendo.

BURNT Luigi: I AM NINTENDO.

Me: Uhhh… I think my computer has a virus.

BURNT Luigi: I AM NINTENDO.

BURNT Luigi: I AM NINTENDO.

Me: LUIGI SHUT UP ALREADY!

TakeAsoda: Uhh… Here, I will take care of this.

BURNT Luigi left the conversation.

TakeAsoda: there, I banned him from the chat, but judging how I couldn’t ban anyone from the community, I asked a leader on here to do it.

Me: Good, thank you.

I know, you guys might’ve been annoyed over how that user was giving off cringe dialog to us, and it sounded like something you heard from these type of stories. But I’m telling you right now, that’s what the user was saying to us, and yes, he was spamming that to us, he also private messaged us (even if some of our messages were turned off).

The same thing happened again; it literally felt like the endless staircase, but not in Super Mario 64; it was in an endless loop, and the user kept being banned but kept coming back when we didn’t invite him in the first place.

Burnt Luigi joined the conversation.

Burnt Luigi: Hello.

Me: uhhh… hello?

Burnt Luigi: Hello JosephTheSnail.

Me: hi?

Me: What do you want from me?

Burnt Luigi: Do you want to see a photo of me?

Me: Uhhh, why are you asking me? I guess.

Burnt Luigi: Great! It was from our last meetup.

Me: I’m sorry, WHAT?

Burnt Luigi sends a picture, clearly photoshopping an old picture of me sitting on a log, and he’s holding my hand.

Me: I’m sorry, I do not remember taking this photo with you.

Burnt Luigi: Happy birthday! I heard your birthday is October 8th, correct?

Me: HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT? DID YOU CHECK MY DISCORD TOO?

Burnt Luigi: I have my reasons.

TakeAsoda: I’m sorry, but what is this? OH, OH, no.

Me: I know, right? What is this?

Burnt Luigi: It’s just me. It's me, Luigi!

Me: No, you’re not; you’re not Luigi.

Burnt Luigi: Yes, I am; I’m Luigi.

Me: No, you’re not. I know Luigi; he’s a hero in the real Mario games, and you’re something else.

Burnt Luigi: But I’m a hero.

TakeAsoda: You know what? That’s it; I’m deleting this chat.

Me: Please do it; it can stop this.

TakeAsoda then deleted the chat, and then Luigi, the one from the private chat, went on my wall and said that I wasn’t a fun person; luckily, he blocked me afterward, and I can officially have peace—well, at least for now.

Though, when I closed the browser, music started playing; this was the endless staircase, but playing in reverse.

Well, my only option is to turn this computer off and go to sleep; maybe it will stop. Well, see you guys at the fourth post if I’m still around at the time I write this. Ah! I will be around (it’s not like this figure or game can hurt me); I just have other work to do, like school and the like.

Alright, good night.

[owoesies]

I JUST WATCHED WOLFWALKERS FOR THE FIRST TIME AND OH MYGOD. AU WHERE HUNTER IS ROBYN AND LUZ IS MEPH AND. AND. SIBLINGS

[philosophicalparadox]

For the ask game! Mephisto and Lucifer XD

Oh you do love to torment me don't you lol

Send me two characters and I'll tell you:

Who would win in a fight:

Consistently? Neither. Do I think Mephisto/Samael has merc'ed Lucifer a few times catching him by surprise? Hell yeah. Do i think Lucifer has gotten petty vengeance and destroyed or tried to destroy Samael's body? Definitely. But in a real, full out fight? MAD is the only way I see it going. Samael might bow out to preserve himself or Assiah but I wouldn't call that losing. Similarly Lucifer would almost certainly destroy his host body trying to fight Samael. They'd destroy each other physically if nothing else. If it went beyond that and they fought in Gehenna or somehow in a non corporeal form, then they'd destroy Assiah/Gehenna before they ever destroyed each other. Their powers are equal and opposite; Samael has perfect defense, Lucifer has way too much juice. Unstoppable force meets immovable object. Itd be a battle of stamina I don't think either one would win in the long run. If Lucifer was more patient I could see him wearing Samael down, but we both know he'd hit with lots of heavy attacks if he had nothing left to lose, and seriously wanted to destroy Samael; he would use up his energy losing his temper and Samael, while not having a good time, would be draining that energy away knowing exactly what would happen.

2. Who would be a better roommate:

I'd say neither of them would be good roommates. Lucifer would be more appealing at first, until he had a bad day and suddenly all the woes of the world would be on you. Mephisto would be the crazy weeb trash roomie that was a bit obsessive-compulsive and would yell at you for touching his stuff, but you'd get used to him; the fact he would take off for days on end and youd never know where he was would be a little disconcerting though.

3. Who is better in bed:

Oooooof tough one. Depends on what you like. Overall Meph is way more versatile, and willing to do most kinds of kink. He also is open to playing whatever role works for you; he loves acting. Lucifer I do think is good in bed, especially if he wants to impress you, but he's more of a stickler. He likes things to go his way, whether he's a top or bottom. And if you don't want him to get bored you'll have to know what he likes and how. Even so, despite Lucifer objectively getting less tail, I imagine he's far more of a boy toy in spirit so to speak. He sees, he likes, he takes...whether they like it or not. Mephisto can be like this, but he's more honest about it. With Lucifer it's about his image or getting his needs met. With Mephisto, if theres any emotional connection to it, it's probably pettiness or boredom.

4. Who I'd pick to be my presidential running mate:

When it comes to campaigning I'm picking Mephisto every time. Lucifer could absolutely get me where I wanted to be - but he would set it up to ruin me at a moment's notice all the while, and the first time I incurred his ire he'd sabotage me just to be a petty bitch. Mephisto is true to his word - sometimes a little too true - but so long as I played my hand carefully and made the right sort of exchange, he would get me there and leave me there, in theory. Anything that happened after would just be "coincidence" *wink wink 😉*

5. Whose shoulder I would cry on:

I'd prefer Meph for this one again. Lucifer might make noise about condolences and gestures of comfort but he's a cold and hollow bastard in his heart and might even get mad that I'm crying because he doesn't understand it. Mephisto might be annoyed, confused, or disgruntled, but he would eventually just succumb and be like "ok, this is something humans need to do sometimes. It'll go away on its own as long as it doesn't concern me." And be mostly indifferent. Depending on his mood he may try to play court jester and turn into a dog or do something ridiculous to make me laugh. I don't really see him trying to make it worse, especially for a total stranger, just mostly benign. Unless he was the one being cried over. Then he'd go out of his way to leave a bad impression.

6. Who would make a better parent:

Mephisto, no contest. Is he the best parent? Fuck no, but he is willing to set aside the personal stuff to learn what he needs to do to deal with a situation. I already presume he has tried raising the twins himself, to no avail - but he has in fact raised at least one child we know of, Abel, to a relatively ok degree. Lucifer, on the other hand, is too self absorbed and ambitious. He would be affectionate to a child perhaps, but he could never ingratiate himself or be too involved with one. Kids are dramatic and selfish little devils and Lucifer is naught but an overgrown child himself; he could play with pleasantries but he would end up hating any child he was around for a long enough time.

7. Who I would rather date:

Do I even need to answer this one? Lol. I'll take a week long relationship with the Devil that ends in fake tears and a good laugh than possible months of creepy love bombing, obsessive narc shit that always ends the same way. Only this time I might end up dead.

Thanks for the ask @thebeingofeverything ! This was fun 😆

[the-shark-well]

look I.....dont know what happened....

new hc? mini-au? I have no clue but oh my goooddd I love this concept even if its slightly OOC

ok so basically the idea is that Jonathan doesn’t like to be the center of attention or to stand out, but he’s always secretly really liked the idea of wearing dresses and being more expressive and confident in his appearance and whatnot, but he’s never really had the opportunity to do so... then Sock showed up and the second he found out about Jon’s interest in wearing more “feminine” clothing, he was IMMEDIATELY supportive (very on brand of him to do the exact opposite of his job description), and encouraged Jon to start going out to a couple stores and try out some looks that he genuinely likes, not that he feels forced to like. 

in the end Jon’s alot happier, Meph’s more frustrated in Sock not doing his job, and Sock’s really proud of Jon for being himself !!

[selfshipbs]

💌 + Meph and Zero (is it cheating to send them both in one go???) - u know who it is uwu

cause i wanna let ppl gush about their f/os send me a 💌 + your f/os name & i’ll tell u what i think about them!! 

@thingsthatremindmeofselfships ALL RIGHT THE SONIC LADS LET’S DO THIS!

Ok let’s start with gamer edge lord supreme Mephiles the Dark. He’s such a great cheesy villain and honestly had so much potential in concept but RIP that the game was Sonic 06. Oh well OUR CANON NOW BABYYYY. I see him and all I can think of his him spouting off some semi-philosophical sounding bullshit devil’s advocate kind of thing in an attempt to be menacing. Y’know like that Hannibal meme? “This is a Chaos Emerald, a gemstone with the mysterious power of chaos, both positive and negative. Tell me Matcha, can such a power really be one or the other, or is it both at all times?”

Alright and here’s edgy mc edgeface, Infinite/Zero the Jackal. Sonic Forces did him dirty, I’m so sorry Zero they just threw you to the side you didn’t even get a real cool final boss fight or goodbye or indication of what the hell happened to you, like COME ON. Anyway, as I said before, OUR CANON NOW and this Jackal boy is a good boy who just wanted to protecc his Squad and also just had a revenge vendetta against Shadow because he got his ass beat by the Ultimate Life Form. Come on man he’s literally called the Ultimate Life Form and was genetically engineered to be that way, not to ruin your confidence but you didn’t have a chance honey. Either way, he’s great! I love him!!

[gluttons]

1 2 3 5 10 12 20 22 36 (give me the salt fam)

What would prevent you from following someone?

i pay quite a bit of attention the mun’s voice when reading rules / pages . some people just come off as extremely aggressive / controlling, and it puts me off from following sometimes !  things like : do not follow and block me immediately if you are abc-phobic and support defg-isms ; it’s irritating when i see too much ooc / photos / literally anything apart from your replies ; i will unfollow n block you if you don’t attempt to approach me within a week and DONT try to contact me asking why i unfollowed you …

i certainly don’t want to interact sexist / racist / lgbtqphobic people myself . in an ideal world,  i would also want to interact with all 100+ of my mutuals on the regular and have them approach me within a week of following me - like wouldn’t that be convenient ?? but in reality , people have their own obligations n priorities. people grow up in diff backgrounds n might not have the exact same viewpoints as u. like. idk,, it just comes off as intolerant and disrespectful.  i dont want to feel like i’m walking on eggshells whenever i log in or make a post.

Are aesthetics important to you? If they are, why?

honestly… no !!! as long as the chara is interesting n there is quality writing i don’t mind if a blog is default tumble theme w no aesthetics or post formats at all  ( w the exception cutting posts and uniform icons ! )  as long as the blog format is consistent n readable i will give any blog a fair shot i think !!  ‘:/c

What current rp trend do you hate?

i honestly rly dislike the dashboard blog thing. i know its hypocritical of me to say this bc i also succumbed to the trend but like. but it makes things so hard to access ,  esp if i want to like, edit or add tags to an old post i have to use mass editor and can’t just edit via permalink rip  ( maybe there’s a way of doing it and im just big dumb who knows )

Do you prefer interacting with male muses or female more? Why?

i dont rly have a preference w muse gender ??? :/c  i honestly follow whoever i find interesting n like,  write w whoever wants to write w me lol .  but i do think female muses approach meph more often - idk if its bc of the distribution of female to male muses on tumble or smth ?? but this happens w so many of my muses - idk if its how i write them or how i come across as a person or smth but like . yeah. orz.

Have you ever had a bad experience with commissions? As either someone who makes them or as someone who buys them?

actually nooo ???? i’ve never bought or made a commission from / for anyone in my life so .. sfkafa i am completely indifferent on this subject.

Have you been involved in drama? Do you regret it?

ive never been in drama ?? i dont think?  i feel like i generally am quite soft spoken n genial on tumblr dash bc im . weary about projecting my views ,,,,

but well, i used to know sb who was caught up in clique drama and they would constantly badmouth abt other users to me . i didn’t know how to outright tell them i wasn’t interested in hearing it,, but yeah we kinda stopped talking after that.

Have you ever felt pressured to write something you weren’t comfortable with?

slightly ???  i have had ppl push ship ideas onto me real strongly . i’m not against ships but they’d come to me w a preconception of who my muse is …  esp w canon muses … its not exactly a huge deal bc i get that ppl are excited to plot n ship characters,  but like .  yeah i have.  i’m not  …  great at refusing people hskfjdfa

What would make you block someone?

idk i’ve never actually blocked anyone  ( lol asides from p.orn bots ) . unfollowing  +  steadfastly ignoring them  usually does the trick for me.  shdfksdjfa

What’s one thing that other people seem to hate that doesn’t bother you?

well. this is a bit controversial …. but i feel like ppl are. too sensitive abt whitewashing ?? like i understand that there’s a problem if icons are deliberately edited to lighten skin tone or if a mun straight up erases the character’s racial identity , but some ppl just use pack psds n when the icons are like. two hexes off from their orig skin tone n people accuse them of bein racist and stuff. like . yeah ok,  maybe it was a poor judgement on the mun’s part ,  but labelling them a racist is just . not cool.

like damn. there are actual people out there suffering from the impact of racism ! victims who have been denied entry n detained at borders, subjected to police brutality, denied their rights to expression n respect in the workplace ,,,,,  like open your eyes,  putting a tinted psd over a picture or wtv is NOT racism oh my god. trying to claim that this falls into the same category ultimately trivialises the issue imo .

Chapter 1: The Ball

Prologue

 The night was cold outside and, even thought  the ballroom was well warmed, there was a chill washing over Mephisto's body. He breathed, deeply and walked across the room, eyes scanning over the crowd. People with cheeks rosed by wine and laughs as extravagant as their clothing, through the jungle of bodies he found the small girl, her hand brushing trough her right eye. She left to the nearby bathroom and he followed.

 "Malu?" He opened the door cautiously. She was at the sink.

 "Meph...?" She looked at him, her eye was a little red. "The assigned male bathroom is--"

 "Is your eye ok?" He cut her sentence short. She looked down.

 "Y-yeah... I'm just... I'm not used to wearing it the whole day yet... Can you close the door, please?" He had a master key in his pocket at all times. He entered and did as she'd asked.

 "Does it hurt?" He got closer, the rage in his body giving place to the fraternal worry he always seemed to carry. She took the offending lense out and pulled an eyedrop bottle off her dress.

 "No, no, it's... fine..." She put two drops in her eye then looked at her reflection in the mirror, brushing her fringe to her ear.

 "..." The silence was awkward, but he knew it was needed, his ear still ringed from the classical music playing outside. He looked at her eyes, they were vivid, like ruby and saphire gems. That ruby he knew well. Also knew how their father hated it. He pushed his thoughts aside and smiled. "You look beatiful tonight..."

 "... thank you..." She smiled back, small and sad, but a smile nonetheless. She touched her eyelid again.

 "It's just like hers... You know..." She nodded.

 "You've showed me her pictures." She sighed. "I just wish... I wish I could've met her..." So do I he thought, then let it die in his mind.

 "We should go, they'll start looking for us soon." He held his hand out, she put her lense back and held the offered hand. He unlocked the door and she sighed, feigned a small smile and walked out the room with her brother. She was a good actress.

 Whispers filled the air the music couldn't. It felt uncomfortable. They soon realised the eyes, however, were not turned towards them, but to the newly arrived figure on the ballroom's entrance. Mephisto and the woman locked gazes and their mouths were spread in smiles. Manuelle too seemed happy for once in this awful night. They met halfway their distance.

 "My apologies for the wait."

 "You don't have to apologize to me" ever his braind filled. Manuelle left his hand for her arms in a tight hug.

 "I'm so glad you came! Everyone else here is so boring!" The smaller said.

 "Even your brother?"

 "Especilly my brother!"

 "Good I came, then!" They laughed and he squinted.

 "Good to know my fincé is at my side, at least..." He couldn't help the smile that accompanied the word. 'Fiancé'. Such a small word for so much history between them. She rose from Manuelle's hug and held him in an embrace.

 "What took you so long?..." He said, letting the scent of her perfume numb his wories. She smelled like roses.

 "Papers..." The vague description made him understand even more.

 "Oh? The papers?"

 "Yes." She confirmed. He nodded thoughtfully.

 "Good. We should have everything ready then?"

 "Just wait for a time no one will notice and then..." she vaguely looked at Manuelle.

 It had been hard to watch his father's lack of care for his sister, but nothing compared to the rage he experienced when he was taught about her engagement weeks prior. It wasn't something new, hell, according to his fiancé it was something even immoral nowadays -not like he'd know locked inside the manor grounds-, but he knew immoral was not unlikely from his father. His sister was being used as a trade coin in his father's circles, like he had been before her. She was only 13. He told his worries to his fiancé, Lissana, and then the plan came. Remove Manuelle from this dreadfull place.

 "Meph?" Lissana snapped him out of whatever hole his mind just tossed him down. A reassuring hand placed on his shoulder. "Let's sit? Drink some? You look tense." He then became aware that his fingers had curled into fists somewhere down his thought process.

 "Yes, that's a good id-" His sentence was cut short by the sound of a wine glass being gently tapped. His sister was now at the front of the ballroom with their father. The music was cut. His mouth went dry.

 "Ladies! Gentleman! Please, a moment of your precious time! Well, maybe some more moments from the lovely ladies." The crowd giggled. "Well, it is with abundant delight that I bring to you, in this yearly reunion of ours, my daughter, Manuelle. Now, many of you probably already know her, the charming little girl that she is, well, her charms seem to have attracted some attention of lately, particularly from this handsome boy over there." He put his hand in the younger man's shoulder as he stood proud "And it is with immense honor that I inform you that, soon enough, I'll be able to call him family. This is not only a yearly reunion, this is their engagement party." The crowd cheered and clapped, Mephisto's blood seemed to boil in his veins "Now, now, you all probably know about my love of long monologues, but this time I'll give the honors to the man of the hour." He gestured to the man and he begun to speak. Mephisto knew him, he was a brat, simply put, a womanizer, but his family had money, of course. He was also 20, two years his senior. He dreaded the realization. His knuckles went white and Lissana's grasp in him tightened, as if trying to contain his seething anger. He was happy he didn't had drinks, he didn't know if he would have held back if he did.

 "Lis..." Her worried eyes now shot at him. "Tonight." She was shocked at first, but soon replied with a confidant nod.

 The fool's discourses was over and they excused themselves back to the crowd. Manuelle came at them tearfull and pale. Mephisto enveloped her in a tight hug, tighter than any he remember giving her.

 "I-I... H-he shouldn't..." Mephisto caressed her head.

 "Shhh... I know, I know... Don't wory, ok? You don't have to worry..."

I did not see this 5 years ago, though apparently I did

Hi there! So, in the light of the recent Ao no Exorcist chapters and Katou having a solid grasp on her timeline after all, my brain shocked itself enough to produce some serotonin and I decided I’m gonna diverge from my own principles and post this. Brain producing serotonin should be encouraged. Buckle up, everyone bothering to read: this timeline breakdown/fan theory emerged in 2012, when a bored AnE-fan pieced together a few of the plot reveals we’re starting to see now.

Spoiler warning for The End of the Beginning! Though strictly speaking they’re a timeline framework I developed in order to write TEotB, which means they’re gonna drop very soon via the flashback! So it probably isn’t as mind-blowing as it was to me... BUT I DON’T CARE I’ve been waiting 6 years for the content we’re getting right now, 6 years I’ve been on the edge of my seat for this misfit clone dork to finally tell his story and AAAAAH

This is basically a full-body search of the Kyoto arc chapters, 'cause that was the only bit of the past we had back when I started writing. To this day that’s the part of the manga I have the best grasp on. x’D But all those hours paid off, good gods they paid off! This is long. Bear with me, ‘kay? Old-time AnE-fans remember that it was commonly thought the twins were born on Blue Night, much due to the anime: Kyoto Arc said it wasn’t. If you looked carefully, you could figure out that Blue Night was in fact the time of the twins’ conception, not their birth. Though to be absolutely sure, I plotted out the timeline three times and dug up records from a weather station in Kyoto to see if there would have been snow at that time of year in the early to mid 90′s because that’s how goddamn obsessed I am. And if you did figure out that the twins were conceived on Blue Night, you were inevitably sucked into an even more obsessive downward spiral into crazy fan madness because that meant Fujimoto Shiro was sent to steal Kurikara to “kill some kids” before those kids existed even on an embryonic stage.

My original estimate was that the stage had taken 24 years to set up, based on the info in Kyoto Arc, but with Mephisto’s recent director’s cut of how he ghost wrote history that number bumps up to 36 years or potentially even longer.

For reference, the timeline I put together for TEotB plus the fresh dates from the flashback arc: 1977: Mephisto pressures Shiro into promising him a free wish because extorting a kid that’s struggling for his life is an ok move 1984: Satan fails possession for the first time because whoa so many limbs at once 1989: the Myou Dha is struck by disease 1993: Satan figures out how to properly possess someone, that’s Rin’s unrelenting never-give-up attitude right there 1994: after a nine year learning curve on just staying in a body Satan has three PhD’s and ditches school after one year of education - guess possessing a body really is a difficult thing to pull off huh 1995: Shiro unwillingly becoming the caretaker of orphans: part I 1996: not yet confirmed but Saburota’s first meeting with Lucifer/Asylum is probably now Also 1996: Satan returns to Section 13 with a reclamation claim on that crap body they sold him 1996-1997 (somewhere around New Year’s, I estimate): Shiro, who was an Upper First Class exorcist at the time, cures Myou Dha and oh is that a sword in your pocket or are you just happy to return to your boss after a successful mission? 1997 (probably mid-to-late March): Blue Night sucked for everyone, but at least Shiro and Tatsuma got promotions - yay 1997: Shiro unwillingly becoming the caretaker of orphans: part II 2003: when you’re a cursed, massacred and financially broke sect like Myou Dha, there’s few options but to join the Order of the True Cross to stay afloat 2005: Saburota recruits Mamushi to spy by raising suspicions against Mephisto ‘cause really, that ain’t hard 2013: a giant pile of shit appears in Kyoto and unleashes destruction on its surroundings and for once it isn’t Mephisto

The manga and the timeline are pretty self-explanatory so what I wanna stress here is what happened 24 years ago, in 1989, ‘cause that’s something Katou hasn’t touched upon yet and it’s really fun except for those involved. In 1989, a disease starts plaguing Myou Dha and the symptoms are identical to what you get from exposure to the miasma from the Impure King’s Eyes. It seems to be a very local problem, as we don’t hear of any epidemic in the rest of Kyoto. Did the seal on the Right Eye spring a leak? Nope. Because the Eye wasn’t there.

We haven’t seen the shrivelled up bit of IK cause any trouble - not saying it couldn’t, but it seemed like that one hadn’t been active much for the past 150 years and it had been constantly monitored by the High Priest. I cross-referenced with the dates given in the new flashbacks but the outbreak doesn’t coincide with any boost of demonic activity related to Satan’s progress. So? The disease in Kyoto is its own separate disaster, and it’s most likely engineered. Let’s work our way back from the present to see how Mephisto set up this stage~ Mephisto knew of Saburota’s plan to unleash IK, and was all cool with that ‘cause hey, good opportunity to test Rin’s flame, build some team spirit, power up Bon, etc. For that reason he decided to move the Right Eye from his own keep to Myou Dha’s: if Saburota had been able to steal both of them from True Cross he wouldn’t have needed the pit stop at the Kyoto Office. He would have revived IK straight away, and even Mephisto couldn’t have motivated sending a bunch of kids into that chaos. So, move the Eye to a secret strategic location in Kyoto and force Saburota into jumping through a couple of extra hoops to get it. The Eye was moved in 2003 or thereabouts: this coincides with Myou Dha joining the Order, and makes perfect sense. The relic has ties to their sect, and it’s kinda fair to give them something back since Meph indefinitely borrowed their main relic, and now that they’re part of the Order and all - yada yada, smoke screens. Mephisto gave them the relic to set Saburota up, but not until he had the means to also give Saburota a trail to follow. Our fav Uncle Goat approached Mamushi, his student, in 2005 and recruited her to get the Right Eye. He probably thought he was cleverly working around Mephisto’s attempt to prevent theft, but if we think about it: who gave Saburota the opportunity to manipulate her in the first place? It is much easier to get your hands on an impressionable young Myou Dha kid if the Myou Dha kids attend the school where Saburota teaches. But why would they? When their families are very competent exorcists on their own and they’re used to keeping to themselves and...

Keeping to yourself is only an option so long as you can survive by yourself, and from 1989 on Myou Dha couldn’t. But Granpa Suguro, being as stubborn as he is, has refused any modern/outside help for 7 bloody years. This disease is weird for several reasons. Its localised spread, for one; its similarity with the Eye mashou when there is no Eye present; the way it vanishes and is never heard of again after Shiro’s visit; the suspiciously good timing. We now know Mephisto is aware of the future to a certain extent - we saw that confirmed when he set Shiro up with that promise. That was the last doubt removed from my theory about the Kyoto disease, so here we are. Satan hadn’t even manifested with a consciousness yet but Mephisto had his sights on Kurikara and Myou Dha’s cooperation in 1989. He is a man of sophistication, so he takes the “if the mountain won’t come to Muhammad, Muhammad must come to the mountain“ approach: he used the Eyes to orchestrate an outbreak that would force the sect to reach out to True Cross - the biggest, most knowledgeable exorcist organisation around - for aid. Because the alternative would be to smash in there and outright steal the sword and nobody would send their kids to your organisation after that. But it didn‘t work. Granpa Suguro refused to follow script and so the years went by, Satan gained consciousness, grew intelligent, grew bored, oops there goes the Asylum ceiling, jfc Suguro how many more have to die before you just play along like a good boy...? In the end Mephisto had to deploy Plan B: screw it, theft it is. If Muhammad won’t go to the goddamn mountain I’m gonna drop the mountain right on Muhammad’s stubborn head.

Of course this means fucking things up for Shiro, ‘cause that’s just how these things go when you’re running a tight deadline getting the Antichrist(s) a birthday present. Also it’s fun.

This frame says everything, really. xD Come now, how would you expect these people to trust you, and develop a friendly attitude to the Order, if you barge in there on your black-ops mission like a humanoid battleship, grab their relic and ditch the scene? Bad PR, very bad PR. Buuut if you’re injured enough that you can’t make that immediate escape, and you just happen to know how to cure this very specific disease that never flares up again, which you can contract from only 2 items in the world, of which both are owned by the snake-tongued sass ball you are enslaved by work for...? What a fortunate coincidence, what a golden opportunity to create some debt gratitude and-

Nevermind... 

I headcanon that if Granpa Suguro hadn’t died on Blue Night, Mephisto would have set him on fire personally for being such a roadblock to his plans. After Blue Night Myou Dha was decimated, bankrupt, thought by the population to be cursed - what is a poor sect to do? Who could possibly help? Oh wait wasn‘t there some guy a while back, y’know, that exorcist dude who came crashing in and saved the lives of our families and friends? He seemed to know what he was doing, think we could ask him? So the take-away from this is If not for that disease, if not for Mephisto’s misinformation and Shiro’s break-in, Myou Dha would never have joined True Cross. The Right Eye would never have been kept in Kyoto, there had been no Myou Dha kids at the Academy for Saburota to recruit, and the cram school kids would never have been in Kyoto to fight the Impure King. And also that Mephisto is a fabulous bastard and a pure joy to write! ☆

ok since my queue just popped out my pre-season 2 ship chart, here’s my post-season 2 ship chart and explanations below:

otp status:

nathaniel/iris - still an absolutely angelic ship, adorable. healthy but not perfect, interracial, adorable, i love them, i want them to be happy

praxina/iris - forget you! is such a good fucking episode and praxina just wanted to be happy and good and iris just wanted her to have what she wanted and felt was right and iris letting praxina choose her own path was so good and pure and i love them

mephisto/auriana - i still love them and am holding out for them when mephisto comes back. idk the status of lolirock currently but if theres a season 3 i expect mephisto’s return and i expect tension!

love status:

iris/auriana - did yall see the finale? did yall see that hug? that hug was so good. auriana loves iris so much. theyre so cute and good to each other and i love them

iris/talia - i also really love how these two are dedicated to each other. it’s wholesome and good and i love them a lot

like status:

auriana/talia - i love these two a lot but sometimes it feels like they wouldnt be friends if not for the mission, so its moved from love to like. i still enjoy them plenty and appreciate fanstuff for them, i just like them better with iris lol

talia/praxina - i still enjoy the potential for this ship a lot, i liked how talia was suspicious of praxina in forget you! but then at the end she wanted praxina to stay good, and i loved her saying wow! when praxina smiled her first genuinely happy smile

talia/kyle - i didnt like them initially because i was annoyed that kyle never came back, but now that he did, i find them way better! talia acknowledged her crush as such, kyle wasnt a pushy dumbass like in his first ep, they were more like an actual shippable couple this time! im glad he came back tbh

praxina/auriana - remember when auriana was like “nooo, you look great!” and praxina blushed like a fool? yes. i love them. i love that auriana can make praxina blush like that

matt/auriana - i still really liked them even if matt has disappeared and will likely never return

don’t mind status:

nathaniel/doug - doug has become irrelevant but theyre still buddies so its fine

iris/mephisto - i still dont get why more people dont ship this. nat/iris is obviously better but meph/iris is pretty good. they have lots of really sweet moments. the “id be happy to serve you as queen of ephedia” line? forreal? good shit

carissa/mephisto - ive seen this a few times and its not bad. i prefer carissa as a lesbian but she and mephisto worked together well and i like how she beats the shit out of him

doug/praxina - i thought this was gonna be praxina’s “canon het ship” in case of redemption but then in forget you! they had an opportunity to interact that just...didnt happen! so i guess it was my misinterpretation. so i still like it but its pointless to me

carrisa/lyna - i thought these two would be more shippable but in the end i find them more annoying as a pair than cute. they dont seem to like each other much or share any interests, but are mature enough to work together for a just cause. so im good with the ship but it doesnt appeal to me

dislike status:

doug/auriana - i dont reeaaally have a problem with this ship its just, yknow, boring! theyre really cute bffs, i love them taking that selfie together. also doug kind of is barely in the show anymore so who cares

lev/lyna - ive only seen this once and its super boring. thats it. its just boring. whys it exist? because for some reason this fandom thinks we need more het ships

hate status:

iris/lev - lev is boring and pointless, but it’s not a notp cuz i DO see the appeal. but really, iris/nat is way better and i dont think lev was a necessary character esp considering the small number of episodes he was in

notp status:

talia/mephisto - this ship sucks it was made up by homophobes who are obsessed with mephisto and draw nsfw art of teenagers! whats the appeal? there IS no appeal! i used to think id ship any interracial ship that was thrown my way but sometimes life proves ya wrong. anyway this ship is Bad and im tired of seeing it

praxina/that one guy whose name i dont know because he’s completely irrelevant and uninteresting and she deserves better than being paired with a random ass guy just for the sake of unnecessary heterosexuality - oh i accidentally said it already cuz i dont know his name cuz he’s pointless, yeah, so. who is he? who cares. he’s pointless. if youre gonna ship praxina with a random dude why did it have to be such a boring ass white boy ohhhh my god. im tired of seeing praxina/this guy shit when i search her on google! google doesnt include my tumblr blacklist. oh wait i cant even blacklist this shit cuz idk his name cuz hes pointless!! anyway i love praxina and she deserves better than this bullshit. another ship made up by homophobes, btw, so, extra annoying

ot3 status:

auriana/iris/talia - in that order! i love polyrock. polyrock is good, its golden, its beautiful. girls loving girls. these girls loving each other. its wonderful

mephisto/auriana/praxina - i guess, obviously, not with all three of them, but more like auriana with each twin on one arm? i love how she makes both their hearts race, it’s adorable. i love it

[ask-us-sanderssides]

So does Nic just get tired at random times? And all the sides are like “ok this is normal just make sure he doesn’t fall over” but everyone else is like “...wat?”

// yeah basically. it’s just that he doesn’t get tired first (because he’s always anyways) he just suddenly falls asleep and while others almost get a heart attack, gabe, meph and luc tell them “oh that’s normal he’s fine” and make sure he doesn’t hit himself haha
