[viennacherries]

hello anon thank you for this request heheheheh

the eagerly awaited spanking fic. enjoy ;)

NSFW

read on ao3

~~~

Rolan's never done something like this before, and he's more than a little nervous.

He loves Tav. He truly, deeply does. The few entanglements he's had in the past were nothing compared to this; compared to the way he feels about her. So, of course, of course, when she pitched the idea to him, he'd agreed to try it, despite his apprehension. Tav has been abundantly clear: if he doesn't enjoy it they can stop, and they needn't revisit the idea.

Still, that doesn't prevent the coil of concern that thrashes in his stomach.

"Are you okay?" Her voice pulls him out of his thoughts.

He swallows around the lump in his throat, nods slowly, "yes, of course."

Tav's face twists in concern, "Rolan... We don't have to-"

"I want to." He's firm and quick in his response. He might be completely terrified but he wants this, wants to do this for her.

Tav doesn't look convinced, "Rolan, I'm serious, I don't mind if-"

"Tav."

She stops, looks at him.

"Shut up and take off your clothes."

Her eyes widen, and it would almost be comical if Rolan's heart wasn't currently pounding out of his chest. It almost feels wrong, ordering her around like this, and he has to remind himself that this is what she wants, what she asked for.

If he's being honest with himself, he's mostly worried about disappointing her. They've shared their bodies many times now, but never like this. He's an academic; a perfectionist. The idea of doing something that he hasn't practiced to faultlessness, the idea of potentially being bad at something? That's the worst part. At the end of the day, if he doesn't enjoy it, he knows he never has to do it again. But if he's just bad at it? If she doesn't enjoy herself? He's not sure he'll survive the embarrassment.

Still, he can't deny the thrill that runs through him as Tav hurries to obey his instruction.

"Slower." He lets his voice drop an octave into what he hopes is an attractive and commanding tone. A tingle of pleasure runs up his spine when she immediately slows her movements, making eye contact with him as she strips.

She's gradual and deliberate in removing her clothing. Not quite putting on a show, but she's purposeful in every inch of skin she exposes. Rolan's sure he'll never tire of watching her undress.

Once she's stripped down to her underthings, she stops, standing with her hands behind her back.

Roman quirks an eyebrow at her. "I said take your clothes off, didn't I? That means all of them."

A visible shiver runs through her body as she reaches to undo her brassiere, and wow, yeah, he's enjoying this. Her eagerness to comply is intoxicating, and something about having her stripping for him while he's still fully clothed has him half hard already under his robes.

Finally, she stands there naked in front of him, shifting from foot to foot, hands clasped behind her back. He takes a moment to just admire her, take in her form and appreciate her body.

Gods, she's incredible.

He crosses the room to her, stands so close his breath fans across her face, but doesn't touch her. Her anticipation is palpable in the air between them. Rolan leans forward slowly, testing her, seeing if she'll lean in, but she doesn't. Leans forward, closer, until his lips almost brush against hers. Her breathing is quiet but ragged, lips parted, and her tongue darts out to wet them. When he takes a step back without kissing her, a smirk on his face, she whines quietly in the back of her throat.

The bed creaks as he sits on the edge of it, feet planted firmly on the floor. Her eyes dart between his face and his lap eagerly, and the heady feeling that seeing her so greedy for him gives him rushes straight to his groin. He runs his hands down his own lap, smoothing his robes of any creases, and then using two fingers he taps his thigh twice.

"Come."

She scrambles to do as he says, draping herself over his lap. Her stomach sits over his thighs, her ass in the air, and she hangs her head and moans as he brings a hand up to cup her rear.

That feeling of uncertainty comes rushing back.

She wants him to strike her, to inflict pain on her, and the concept is... Confusing. He doesn't understand what about it will be enjoyable, isn't entirely sure what she gains from this. He caresses the flesh of her rear, squeezing and stroking her softly as he steels himself.

"Is this okay?" He can't help the question, but Tav is nodding before he's finished speaking. "Use your words. I need to hear you say this is what you want."

She groans slightly, "I want it Rolan. Please."

He swallows hard, and he feels his dick twitch. She gasps at the feeling of his length flexing against her stomach. Hearing her beg isn't something he knew he needed.

"You're going to count them out for me, okay? Out loud. Don't lose count."

She nods again, and he draws his hand back.

The first slap is tentative, making a quiet noise as the skin of his palm meets the flesh of her cheek, and she gasps softly.

"One."

He waits a moment, gives her a chance to say she wants him to stop, but she doesn't. This time, when he draws his hand back, he lets it fall harder, feeling a light sting across his fingers. Whatever reaction he expected, it isn't the loud uncontrolled moan she lets loose.

"T-Two."

Oh. Yeah. He likes this. Her breathy gasps and gulps between each slap of his hand, the way she pushes back into him when he rubs the skin to soothe it. He lets loose three more slaps in quick succession, each one slightly harder than the last, and the noises she makes with each bite of pain get more debauched with each one. He squeezes the globe of her ass hard after the final hit, and she whines.

"Three, four, fiv-"

He cuts her off before she can finish counting, slapping his hand down hard on her other cheek, grabbing a fistful of her flesh as he makes contact with her, and the noise is less like a slap and more like a dull thud. She arches her back, letting out a filthy noise, and her movement pushes her stomach into his erection. His own breath hitches, the pressure against his cock gratifying, but far too light to be relieving. He brings his hand down hard again in retaliation and her back arches again in response, creating a delicious feedback loop as he lets loose several more hits.

"Six! Seven! E-eightnineten!"

They're both panting now, breath coming out hard and fast while he fondles her. The skin on both her cheeks is tinged red now, and in one spot he can see the outline of a few of his fingers.

Yeah, okay. He gets it now.

This is exhilarating. Having her like this, folded in half for him, completely bare and at the mercy of his every whim. He feels drunk on it. He smoothes his hand up and over the swell of her ass, dances his way along her spine leaving a trail of goosebumps. She sighs and relaxes into him, and he uses the moment of defencelessness to grab a handful of the soft skin around her waist, squeezing and teasing the flesh. She keens in surprise and pleasure.

"You want more?"

She nods.

"Words, Tav."

"Ye-" He brings his hand down brutally on her backside and she cries out. "Yes! Eleven!"

As he soothes the hit he lets his hand trail down between her legs, and she makes a noise in the back of her throat of pure lust. He shudders as he reaches the apex of her thighs.

"Gods, Tav, you're dripping."

She nods so hard he's worried she'll pull a muscle, and he chuckles.

"You like this? You like..." He pauses briefly, unsure if he should finish his sentence, before deciding to continue. "You like when I play with you?"

She groans and pushes back against him, which causes his finger to brush against her clit, and she jolts at the sensation with a whine. He gives her a hard, harsh slap for it.

"Ah! Twelve!"

His cock is aching, and he's so turned on he feels light headed. Hells, she looks beautiful like this; looks beautiful spread out over his lap, waiting for him to touch her. He's losing his patience.

The final three hits he gives her are the harshest yet, and she's reduced to a puddle of pained and pleasured cries. He doesn't give her a chance to count out the slaps before he's hauling her upwards, and he pulls her to straddles his lap as he surges to meet her lips. She mewls as he pulls her hips down, her sore rear stinging at the contact with his robes, and he swallows the noise down greedily. Their tongues lash together, teeth clashing messily, and she grinds down against him. It wrenches a noise from low in his gut, and he drags his lips away from her to grab her hip harshly and slap the top of her ass. As she moans, he wraps his arms around her, bringing her with him as he stands, before turning and throwing her onto the bed.

She doesn't get a chance to adjust before he's manhandling her, flipping her so she's face down in the mattress, and he grabs her hips and yanks them towards him. As one hand works to free his length from his robes, the other places a bruising slap against her. The noise she makes is more pain than pleasure, and he panics for a moment before she pushes back against him. Fuck.

He doesn't even take the time to open her up properly, just frees his cock and grabs her ass with both hands, spreading her open to him as he thrusts into the wet heat of her cunt. She clenches around him and buries her face in the sheets, grabbing a fistful and crying out as he sets a brutal pace.

"Fuck, Tav." He smacks her again, grabbing her as he makes contact and pulling her into him harder. With every snap of his hips, his pelvis slaps against the tender skin and she's dissolving into a puddle of overstimulation and pleasure. " Fuck , Tav, you take me so well. You like taking me like this?"

She whines around her words, "yes! Fuck, Rolan, I'm so close! Please!"

He reaches around her, circles her clit with the pads of two fingers, and within a few moments she's screaming and clenching around him. He grits his teeth and groans as she finishes on his cock, and her body goes limp and pliable as he chases his own release.

When he spends himself inside her, she moans at the feeling of his seed spilling into her, and it has him shuddering and twitching harder.

He collapses forwards, burying his face in her hair, and he runs his hands up her sides.

"Are- Are you-" He takes great gulping gasps between his words. "Are you okay? Was that- that okay?"

Tav doesn't speak, just makes a series of incoherent noises, before freeing an arm from underneath her and making an "okay" sign with her thumb and finger. A laugh barks its way out of Rolan's chest before he can stop it.

"Gods, Tav. That was... Wow."

She laughs a little under him, and tilts her head to the side to speak. "So you didn't hate it?"

"No! Not at all. We can... We can do it again, if you like?"

She lets out a laugh that sounds relived, "yes, please. You're a natural."

He can't help but preen at that. Not bad for an academic, hm?

[artemis32]

Jrksnsk Ur yandere erasermic tho!! It's so good haha. Can I ask what do you think are the ways the reader can hurt them back? Because I noticed that your version of them is rougher(? Or maybe harder? I'm sorry I'm not good w/ words) than others (and I love both versions fyi!!)

So I'm just curious what kind of actions the reader can do to kind of get to them or hit them where it hurts, whether emotionally or physically haha. Like they're so shock or hurt that they can't even punish the reader for it- and if they do they're not that focused on what they're doing.

(bsksnsks I forgot but please feel free to ignore this if you're not taking requests rn or something 😭😭💜)

subjugation drabble v

this is such a delicious thought, i will run with it

subjugation masterlist

So, to truly get to either one of these men, you really have to take some below-the-belt shots. No holding back.

If you're too kind or soft about it, they'll laugh you off as they usually do.

If you're harsh and rough about it, but not enough, they'll just end up annoyed and take it out on you.

You need to stun them to the point of silence, truly shock them.

It's not an easy feat, and if you give them any time to think over what you've done, you'll probably be in more trouble than you'd thought, but if you manage to properly get under their skin, then you've earned yourself some peace and quiet for a while.

And if you do a really good job, you might actually get them to reflect on what they've done - not that they'll ever let you go, they'll just apologise and give you a bit more leniency.

Now, let's get to it.

Verbal

We've already established that calling them perverts or anything along those lines gets them super riled up, though not in the way you want. They become physically aggressive and aren't afraid to put you in your place if they think you've gone too far.

That being said, there are a few verbal jibes that can actually get under their skin, though probably not enough to shock them to a point where they genuinely have no idea how to react.

You could pay special attention to the fact that you were their student - don't outright mention it, but subtly allude to the fact that they were your teachers, people you trusted, long before you caught their eye. That'll give them pause, if only for a moment. After all, you're right.

Their feelings towards you are already wrong on so many levels, but add to that the fact that you were their underage student when they first met you? Regardless of the fact that nothing happened while you were their student, it strikes a nerve.

They, especially Hizashi, feel queasy for a few hours after that.

The best part is they can't even punish you for saying it, because you didn't actually say anything.

Or.

The option which will probably get you the lashing of your life.

You could mention their old friend.

How you found out about Oboro, they'll probably never find out. But regardless, you know about him, and their relationship with him, and you use that to your advantage.

Mention how disappointed your friend would be if he knew that this is what you've resorted to.

They'll be in too much shock to truly retaliate.

"What would he say? If he knew that his two best friends kidnapped a girl nearly half their age because they were just that pathetic?"

You might be expecting a backhand through the face, or a hit hard enough to send you flying, but it never comes.

They just stand there, shocked and appalled by your words, not even able to punish you for tone or your words.

(I'll probably write a separate drabble for this because damn, I love the potential with this piece)

Physical

A good old fashion kick to the groin should do it.

I'm not even kidding - if one day, you reach your limit, eager for even a mere two minutes of peace and quiet, and you decide to go for the nuts - well, whoever you hit will be down for a while.

They'll probably punish you for it, but that means admitting that you managed to pull one over on them, which they won't do. And, they're both well-seasoned pro-heroes. They should know better than to fall victim to a cheap shot like that, so it's completely on them.

Same goes for any head shots that manage to knock them out.

They aren't worried about you getting away, but if you manage to sneak up behind one of them and knock them unconscious - with an object or your own hands - they probably won't punish you, because again, it's on them for not paying more attention. They take it as their own punishment for their lack of awareness.

Plus, they'll never admit it, but the teachers in them are proud of how resourceful and smart you can be when you plan things like that out. It almost warms their hearts.

To them, you're more like a playful kitten than an actual threat.

Months of isolation and inactivity have made sure that any physical advantage you may have had, had melted away. It was difficult to maintain stamina or muscle strength when you were locked up inside for most of the day, and the fact that the two of them watched you like hawks whenever they were around didn't help either.

You couldn't do that much damage to them, at least not physically.

Emotional

The cliché "when you hurt yourself, you hurt us too" is something they'd say (or at least, Hizashi would).

To be completely honest with you, emotionally manipulating the two of them is actually pretty easy.

They truthfully do feel bad about what they've put you through, but they'll never admit it. Yes, they feel bad, so some subtle emotional manipulation would work pretty well on both of them.

Some small mention of the life you used to have; of the longing you feel for what you've lost - it won't really amount to much.

But overtime, it begins to wear on them.

They know how much they've made you suffer. They know, and they feel remorseful. Not enough to grovel and beg, or let you go, but enough for it to weigh heavily on them.

If you hurt yourself to hurt them - emotionally, physically, or otherwise - well, it'll work. Probably better than you'd like it to, honestly.

Immediately after they find out, they'd be stunned, unable to muster any reaction beyond silence. It'd take them a while to process it, but they'd eventually come to terms with it. After that though, they'd hover even more than they already do. They aren’t typically the kind of people who like to coddle you, but they’ll go above and beyond to crowd your space and take up all of your time.

Hurting yourself in any way would definitely get the reaction you want.

That and, if you expressed any emotional ailments you had because of them. That in particular would hurt Shouta - he loves you, and to hear that his actions hurt you - it kills him inside. He does what he does to keep you safe and happy, so it hurts to hear first-hand that it does the opposites.

Like I said, immediately after you’ve expressed your emotional distress, Shouta in particular is the most likely to give you some space.

It’s more to give himself time to think, reflect on himself and his role in everything, but it works out well enough – you’ll get some space from him and his overwhelming presence, and he soaks in the worry and anxiety for a few days before acting on whatever he’s decided.

With Hizashi, it has the opposite effect. He won’t give you any amount of space. Unlike Shouta, who gives you some space for a few days before crowding you, Hizashi immediately overwhelms you.

Of course, in his mind, you feel this way because he hasn’t given you enough love or attention, so clearly the only way to remedy the situation is to overcompensate for what he’s missed.

To emotionally manipulate him, giving him the cold shoulder works surprisingly well. Considering this is a fully grown man, you’d think he’d be able to easily distinguish when you’re trying to manipulate him, but he doesn’t.

If you really want to add insult to injury, give Shouta all of your attention – go above and beyond with your affection. Hizashi will think he’s done something unforgivable.

Cue the begging and pleading.

Be careful with that route though – Shouta is smart enough to see through your antics, and if he sees that you’re trying to manipulate or hurt Hizashi with your games, he’ll shut it down immediately. And then you’ll have a punishment to deal with on top of the usual treatment you receive from them.

Balancing both men while simultaneously manipulating them is a difficult feat, but if you’re smart and patient, you’ll manage. And truly, the results will be worth it.

You’ll have space from the two of them, some much needed peace and quiet, and two mopey men eager for your forgiveness.

Don’t take too long to wrap it up though – their remorse and sadness will very quickly turn to irritation and anger.

After all, they’re in control. You shouldn’t get to dictate your relationship with them, especially not when they’re so generous and take care of your every need without so much as a thank you in return.

But yeah, that's how you can hurt them back.

Their reaction ranges from mild irritation to genuine shock, but no matter what you do, they won't let you go, no matter how sorry they are.

I was the one who just sent that other ask I forgot anon omg but I want to say thank you for honestblogging because I fr can't deal with her cloying fans who think she's being so edgy and cool rn like are we living different realities??? like by all standards this is OK and by HER standards this is BAD like guys we used to have 1989!! we had fearless!! and folkmore!! I wish I could b emotionally regulated enough to not be SO deeply disappointed by some woman's flop release but alas :(( going to be upset at the decay of my relationship with my once favourite artist for the rest of the month I guess

it's genuinely so rough taking another L like this when there IS potential in this album!! the same way there was with midnights. if she'd just allow someone to help streamline and fine tune her best ideas rather than just word vomiting for 31 songs with seemingly no editing process.....

[sasukimimochi]

me and my friends @yuzanrath and @mdzs-owns-my-ass-i-guess were casually brainrotting today and we came up with a pretty funny prompt (who knows if I may eventually write it but I do really enjoy it and I don't write enough funny things) For some context, this prompt started as a joke where JC single-handedly invents non-sexual dual cultivation cuz he's so chronically single, but this is a separated idea more focused on wwx haha (no warning cuz no real pregnancies are had, just shenanigans)

TLDR will be at the bottom.

Let's say this is like, 2 years post-canon or more. So the 'juniors' probably aren't all juniors at this point but i'm still gonna call them that.

-wwx gets cursed with some sort of bloating while on a night hunt with the juniors but it doesn't start showing until the next day. wwx teases/jokes with the juniors about various forms of innocent touches/staring and points out he and lwj were holding hands the day previous before he left on his trip and kissed him goodbye and so everyone starts to believe he really IS pregnant from such a little thing. (the juniors are ofc horrified at the prospect of such easily acquired pregnancy AND FOR A MALE, and lsz is secretly excited about the prospect of getting a sib)

-Wen Ning (as part of the night hunting party who is still around rn) is kinda doubtful, but he also ends up believing bc the juniors getting excited (mainly lsz) is infectious. And, wwx really does have abdominal swelling; so, as is the theme here, he ends up believing too despite his doubts.

-lxc is informed via a junior and wwx shows that he is in fact not stuffing his shirt and lxc is stumped, can't defute, so decides it's best to go along with it for now just in case, as to not stress out the potentially pregnant brother-in-law.

-lxc and the juniors are babying him a little bit but wwx finds it funny and enjoyable so keeps it up for now since the curse is something he can easily fix and doesn't really hurt.

-LWJ comes home and at first thinks "wei ying what have u done now" but then sees the swelling is actually attached to his body and falls for it too, cue the doting husband who becomes his shadow. No more spicy food while he's 'expecting', no sex cuz he's too rough, no liquor bc bad for the baby.

-wwx handles this for a couple days, the super healthy food, lack of everything he likes, and a subtle pain in his gut from the swelling getting worse too quickly (skin isn't meant to stretch that fast) before he can't do it anymore and confesses that it was him teasing the kids and kept the joke going too long. (He cures the curse in front of him perhaps and lwj is just devastated but in his lwj way. That or LWJ cures it with something simple like cleansing idk)

-They tell lxc & lqr and lxc looks disappointed bc he likes children but mainly bc lwj is sad too (and of course lqr is celebrating oh thank god it was fake)

-they tell lsz & Wen Ning and that's the final straw, the sad subtle puppy-eye looking disappointment makes wwx drag the three on a journey out of the cloud recesses; They find a little bebe orphan to take in, perhaps they have a goofy journey of offering parenthood to orphaned kids who don't trust/don't want it before they find a local single mother died giving birth or something and they end up having a real connection with the baby, including lsz who gets insta attached, and so its decided one way or another that this is their baby.

-They go back to cloud recesses and the juniors are all like "WHERE DID YOU GO WHILE YOU WERE PREGNANT AND THEN LXC SAID YOU WEREN'T AN- OH" baby reveal. and thus wwx grins and the baby joke continues, says that he just had the baby etc etc and lxc was mistaken they just wanted a private birth or smth blah blah blah

-lsz immediately goes along with it because he is extra happy he has a little brother/sister now and he's feeling mischievous too, and says they need to take the baby to the nursery etc etc and wwx needs to rest (he is a bit tired tho after running around and getting rid of that curse n stuff)

-JC comes storming bc of the rumors bc even in gusu they can't shut their traps and sees baby, deflates but still has grumpy face like wtf happened (probably Jin Ling's fault that he finds out)

-wwx would probably joke a bit then tell him the truth immediately instead of trying to make him believe it too to avoid confrontation but asks for him to keep it secret for the joke, and Jc is like "..." cuz its an opportunity for the two to joke around together again even if he's grumpy™️ about it and so he doesn't dote on wwx but he does play along with the joke in his own way for a bit until maybe jc says something crazy and/or outrageous that couldn't be true to jin ling and he goes to wwx in a panic and so the jig is up but he tells all the juniors with 100% honesty that they did just adopt a baby and that part wasn't a joke but he didn't give birth himself and he was OK and then its just cute baby and junior interactions

bonus that came up later:

-lwj gets drunk and ends up going out again with wwx tailing close behind. they come home with another child, and thus when lwj is sober again he's suddenly a father of two young children. Cue cute timid wide-eyed bunny mode lwj while wwx comforts him (but laughing and teasing him like haha you made me pregnant again what a scandal! one look and I instantly gave birth! lwj you're so insatiable) and lsz not-so-secretly celebrates their suddenly growing family.

-JC is extremely pouty in his JC way about all these nephews he only gets to know about after they're already adopted.

-lxc is feeling quite a bit better getting to baby the babies and help his brother with raising children again, and thankfully with wwx also by lwj's side.

It was too wild a ride not to share 😌💖✨

TLDR; wwx tricks the juniors, the jades, lqr and even jc temporarily into believing he's pregnant as a way to beat the boredom while lwj is out of cloud recesses (and continues until he can't stand the doting/guilt because he succeeds in his joking too well.) wwx and lwj end up actually adopting bc wwx can't stand the disappointed faces.

Has literally anyone in the band ever said they dont like danger days?? I've seen some gatekeepers getting on their high horse about how they only played one dd song last night and how the "posers must be fuming" and one specific person tried to argue that the members don't like it. But I physically can't find any evidence of it beyond the tour being a generally shitty time for them?? If anything theres more evidence that they DO like it? Sorry if this is weird or pointless but I can't tell if this person has actual proof or are just pulling shit out of their ass because they don't like danger days lol

UGH. im on mobile rn so im not gonna link to specific interviews but they all love the album and talked a lot about how proud they were of it when it came out, and how writing it was actually a very fun and harmonious process. it was controversial in the fan base at the time of its release (partly because of the major aesthetic change the band underwent, partly bc it was pretty heavily advertised in a way some fans felt was disingenuous i guess) and it undersold the black parade, and then their world tour following it also didn't sell as well as expected. they even ran out of money to make the third mv they'd planned in the na na na/sing universe, so compared to the black parade it was technically a commercial failure. in hindsight, gerard especially has said that tour was a very bad time mentally. it was certainly hard for both him and frank to be away from their children. but they were never anything but proud of the album itself and made that clear in interviews. the only vague negativity from the band i can think of was when frank did a lengthy interview for...i believe ap? in late 2020, where he spoke about his whole career, and touched on the breakup of the band. he mentioned being disappointed that they didn't end up releasing the conventional weapons songs and said he thought in hindsight they should have worked on danger days for a little longer because some of the songs as they are feel slightly incomplete to him, and that was one of his only regrets relating to my chem. The ONLY other thing is an offhanded comment their producer, rob cavallo, made when speculating potential reasons for the breakup, when he said that maybe in hindsight he thought frank was struggling to find parts to play on danger days. but frank himself never confirmed that (he actually made a point of saying there was no tension between him and ray during dd), and in my opinion his guitar parts are much more interesting and less sparse on most danger days songs than they are on most conventional weapons songs, so i'd take it with a grain of salt. i think the gritty simplicity of cw is just kind of more to frank's taste than the more instrumentally conceptual sound of dd, so offhanded comments he's made about that have stuck in people's minds as negativity towards the album maybe.

i for one am very grateful we got to hear conventional weapons in the end because some of those songs are up there among my very favourite mcr songs, but im inclined to agree with what the band said over and over again at the time that scrapping cw as an album to release danger days instead was definitely the right choice. it sounds cliche to say but it was definitely a bit ahead of its time. if my chem had come back from the hiatus with an album that was just a collection of really good songs, and not an actual event with a concept and aesthetic and clear thematic thread, i think it would have been a disservice to the band's core mission statement, which was always to be subversive and unexpected, and to lean into the weird and take the risk even if it meant being misunderstood. conventional weapons is great, and it even kind of addresses some themes similar to danger days (dissolusionment with the state of the music industry, life in that side of LA etc) but it does it without any of the grandiose metaphor and pageantry and uniting aesthetic that's gerard's biggest strength and a huge appeal of the band, yk? anyway. it's fine to not love danger days of course, everyone has their opinions, but it annoys me to see people putting words in the band's mouth. "that was a bad time in our lives" =/= "we don't like that album we created together." also they've played sooo much dd at other shows...you don't see anyone going around saying they hate bullets when they've played entire shows this tour with zero bullets songs on them 🙄🙄

Looking at the login bonus stuff again and yeah...compared to past celebrations. This is a sad replacement for celebrating HDD in og...

Best stuff here to get is the 80 dp, 6 vouchers, 1 SSR voucher and 1 UR voucher. As well the card of course.

Yes the vouchers are nice to have, but they don't guarantee you new cards of course. I'll still take them, but it'll never be better than what we lost.

Which was 10x free pulls, and new cards specifically made to celebrate the HDD event.

As well we could of just had Nightmare revivals at least, which just absolutely stopped. And I wonder if/when NB has them there. Will og have them too, or just be left out on that too?

There's just so much sad changes for og OM, that I can't see this game going on strongly for long anymore...The shared events do only so much for og when NB has better benefits in the end in comparison.

I'm sad I got into this game/series later than others, because in my short time with it, I've grown to love it so much. But as quickly as I grown to love it and just can't see my life without it now. Quickly I'm seeing it just come crashing down before me...And for others too of course...

I'm sure devs think NB will help us move on from og in time and replace it in general with what I fear will be a soft reboot or such...But I don't want to let og OM go. And don't want anymore retconning or potential reboots.

Also its bullshit to give up on a game for another, and pretend its not special or important anymore. When the fact stands right there and always will...OM! NIGHTBRINGER WOULD OF NEVER HAPPENED IF IT WEREN'T FOR OG OM!, AND NB IS NOTHING WITHOUT OG OM.

So yeah...rant over...I'm just so disappointed in the devs rn. og OM and its players, and OM fans in general, deserve so much better.

10 for the ask game

10. The Dragon Ball series isn’t exactly known for being consistent with its story, its characters, and various other things. Which inconsistency irritates you the most?

Omg . This question.

Okay, there are a hundred million things I would change abt dragon ball if I could, but the thing that pisses me off the most is definitely inconsistency with Gohan's characterization. Namely,

[deep breath]

Gohan should have stayed/become the main character after Cell Saga what the hell.

I'm really tired rn so I can't elaborate as much as I want to but holy shit Buu saga really dropped the ball on this and it's one of the reasons I don't like that arc much. For a while before I knew what the arc was actually about, I got duped into thinking it would be largely Gohan-centric. Focusing on his relationship with humanity and his peers when he attends school / his old trauma/fears/idk.. anything negative or introspective?? Resurfacing when his dad comes back and shit inevitably hits the fan again.

(mandatory "thank for for existing, the Red Boy fic" statement. Look it up it's great I got derailed while reading the last chapter and I feel bad abt not getting back to it yet h)

But instead..... No? Gohan frustratingly gets yanked off center stage halfway through Buu saga, thanks to Toriyama's unfortunate authorship situation at the time. And after that he just....... Stays there. In the wings of Goku and Vegeta's story instead of taking the mantle of MC. It's really disappointing to me, and it's one of the reasons I still haven't watched Super lmao.

Ik I talk about piccolo for 172783736 hours at a time but Gohan's character arc is really the one that carries Z for me up to Buu saga. I consider Cell saga to be an infinitely superior end to his character arc, and I think the way it sticks the landing there is another reason why Buu saga gets on my nerves so much.

I've talked abt this with friends, but current Gohan also feels largely void of the gamut of emotions he was shown to have while younger, and that bugs the hell out of me. Obviously he's matured, but the fear and insecurity and loss he struggled with pre-buu arc feels strangely muted. Like he isn't allowed to cry now that he's an adult or something (though Goku got hit with this same problem, sigh). This doesn't help his already bad sidelining.

In Buu saga and Super, his repeated cycle of "BAMF fight where he comes out on top as strongest Z fighter→ peacetime→ complacency and domestic life→ uh oh he's weak now→ gets admonished for it and wins the day again" could be SUCH a good foundation for a compelling character arc, but they just. Don't do it! So it comes off as redundant and uncharacteristically negligent on Gohan's part. For as much as I love it, Super Hero drops the ball with this too.

I'm just gonna port my messages from discord and let y'all glean the gist

Basically Gohan feels kinda McGuffin-ized at this point and it makes me sad. He literally had a CELL clone in front of him and had no visible reaction or even an acknowledgement. He's verbally passionate about things like the saiyaman gig or entomology or his family, but the plot and writing don't allow him to actually struggle with the obligation his power gives him.

Like. He might on the surface, sure, but ultimately he just rolls over whenever someone goads him into fighting again (I have seen that part(s) of super don't @ me). I just can't help but see wasted potential and a character with somewhat weak writing. It really is like they just don't know what to do with him now. And that's a real shame because he still is my 1st/2nd favorite character and I am still interested in his arc. Way more so than Goku or Vegeta's. I just wish they would DO something with it 😭

Anyway. Can you believe this isn't even all my thoughts on the matter hdhdhdkdjdj

1072, 1073 and The Gear 5 Release: Thoughts and Discussion

Guys do we all agree that episode 1073 was pretty bad? WE DON'T EVEN GET TO SEE WHAT LUFFY WAS SUPPOSED TO DO IN THIS EPISODE?? AND THE NEXT EPISODE WILL BE A FUCKING FILLER??? Do not mess with me rn. I like Gear 5 and the animation was really good most of the time but goddamn Toei really ruined the hype for this and made a mess of it. Hype aside, they did a lot of stuff wrong with this release which any normal viewer can genuinely tell at first glance. All this even after Toei hyped it up to extreme levels and made us feel like God himself would come down to Earth and animate Gear 5.

There is no way anyone can look at this rollout and say that it was well done. I don't give a shit about how it is compared to DBZ or DBS or whatever other series, but it literally just disappoints by any objective standards you can have for anime at all, y'know? It just feels like a bunch of lost potential, especially after such amazing eps like 1071 and 1072 (even if 1071 itself was a bit of a mixed bag).

Like, I know that they can't do anything other than adapt the manga chapters, but c'mon. The anime can take some liberties with the source material. That's the point of the anime. I just feel like they actually de-hyped(?) the source material even more with their liberties.

I know it might sound whiny or entitled, and I know the team probably put a LOT of effort into it, but I just can't help but feel a little frustrated by this kind of release schedule and pacing. Toei has usually done justice to the big moments of OP despite their issues, but this release just felt off. The other Gears were hella hyped at the time as well, and everyone loved their anime adaptation, so it can't just be a matter of hype setting expectations too high. There are several issues even if you look past the hype aspect. What do y'all think about the G5 anime adaptation overall?

[gummybugg]

Imagine a bunch of your OCs going to the movies. What kind of movies would your different OCs end up watching? (Nothing specific, just genre/vibes.) Do they go to the same flick, watch different stuff? How do they behave once in their seats? Basically, I wanna know what going to the movies with your OCs would be like.

Hi hi hello!

I kept this ask for far too long and planned to write an Entire Scene out using the cast of Crater City, except it never came to fruition! But I can try to describe to the best of my ability what I had in mind, hehe!

...

For sure, Frasier would pay for everyone's tickets (except for Darcy because he's mean), and they would probably go watch the Lego Batman movie together because I said so.

Blair and Elijah would sit in the very back, top row. Blair would talk and giggle the whole time, making crude jokes or references while Elijah tries so hard not to laugh or encourage him, but he can't cant really help it. There's a 90% chance Blair winds up making coke shoot out of Elijah's nose after a batman x joker ship comment.

Darcy and Frasier would sit closer to the front/bottom row of the theater to get away from those idiots. Darcy is pissed Blair said something potentially spoiler-y before the movie started by Frasier is like, "Chill tf out, man, it's literally just a kid's movie." But Darcy wants his money's worth, goddammit.

Frasier is also busy trying to tell Blair and Elijah to stfu (via glares/hand motions) and to let them enjoy the movie and that they don't need security kicking them out of a flick again.

Meanwhile, Darcy has trouble with a teenager kicking his seat (totally not based on a true story). Frasier is like bro chill tf out, you're being louder than Blair and Elijah rn, stop fighting with a teenager. The teens just call Darcy old and that he looks like a poorly AI rendered image of Timothée Chalamet, which he takes offense to.

"Forty is not old, I'm not even close middle-aged yet!" Darcy is agitated.

"You have about 10 more years." The teen retorts.

"Oh, you wanna argue about the sudden spike in average human lifespan over the past fifty years? Because we can go there—"

"Darcy! Are you really arguing with a kid about your age in a movie theater? Stop being so immature." Frasier is so close to pulling the "idk who this man is but he's not mine" card but decides he's the only responsible adult here and can't back out.

Anyway, security has been called, and Darcy is definitely not having it. He wages a verbal battle with security, disturbing everyone else in the cinema, and embarrassing Elijah and Frasier in the process. He goes on about his hardships as mayor and having to deal with an impudent worm kicking his seat from behind (which security couldn't give 2 shits about). Darcy says something along the lines of "We paid for this movie and you'll have to fight my lawyers and I'm the mayor dammit," and so security backs off. Now everyone else in the Lego Batman movie theater is disgruntled at the disturbance. You can cut the tension with a super sharp knife.

Darcy turns to Blair and Elijah, who promptly stfu bc of his death glare. Frasier is concerned that Darcy raised more hell than it's worth all for a shitty movie, but tbh Darcy just likes to use his mayor card.

After the movie ends, they get up to leave, with all eyes on them until they make it to the parking lot. It also turns out that that thing Blair said off hand ended up being a spoiler, and Frasier almost beats the shit out of him, but this time Darcy is the one who has to hold him back. "It's ok, Frasier! We all saw it coming anyway!"

The teens who bullied Darcy come out of the theater to mock him again, but Fraiser flips them off, then security is called once again. And now all 4 of our characters are stuck at the police station with Darcy trying to bail them out, all the while Frasier glares at all three of them with disappointment. Blair is like, "This is definitely going on my 'pissed authority off' bingo board." Elijah rolls his eyes. At least they weren't in any mortal danger, he reasons.

[sixstepsaway]

so i worked more on my blackbonnet fic today BUT i also started work on this little (?) thing and i wanna share it because my thing now is clearly being an izzy hands enjoyer and i want to embrace that

so, here's a snippet of a fic i'm working on, where Ed invites Izzy to his bed before Izzy can kraken-i-fy him.

it'll probably end up steddyhands, maybe in the end? but rn it focuses on blackhands

Izzy Hands is angry, and although it would be an extreme exaggeration to say he's never been this angry before, he thinks it's a close run thing. Everything around him is in shambles, his world is completely upside down, and Edward has the audacity to swing back in, save him from potential (certain, really) death and then go back to bossing him around, except now, now! Now Edward is just a shade of his former self, lounging around half naked in a stupid poncey robe and acting-- Well, acting more like Stede Fucking Bonnet than Izzy knows how to deal with.

He's angry. He's furious. He wants his world to make sense again, and most of all, if he's truly honest with himself, he's scared.

Edward, like this, is vulnerable. He's open and exposed and anyone with half a mind to hurt him can do it with such ease-- It doesn't bear thinking about. On top of that, Edward signed away ten years of his life and barely actually served one day of it. Izzy has nightmares of the English catching up with them, of the English tracking down the ship, boarding and then taking Edward -- this Edward, this 'Ed' version of Edward -- away to do who knows what with and make an example of him.

He shivers at the thought, puts the fear aside and instead lets the anger fuel him as he thumbs through a book, looking for his prize.

"Feels nice to tidy up a little. I can't believe I was living like this, can you, Iz?" Edward says, and not only is it so conversational and so casual it aches somewhere deep inside, but the Iz, the shortening of the shortening of his name slides so effortlessly off his tongue. Izzy finds the photo, gathers the page up in his fingers. "Izzy."

There's something in Edward's voice that stops him. He looks up, but before he can speak, before he can begin his angry rant he's so carefully prepared to press all the buttons that will drive Edward back to being someone that can protect himself and those around him, Edward is moving towards him, face open and honest. "I was thinking."

Izzy pauses. This can't be good. "Oh?" 

"How about you don't go back below decks tonight," Edward says, "how about you come back up and stay here? With me?"

Something turns over in Izzy's chest, something old and rusted, something so seized up he's surprised it can still move, let alone turn and writhe and start to come to life. He tightens his fist around the image of Blackbeard, clutched so desperately in his palm. "What?" He pretends his voice doesn't shake, pretends he has more control in this situation than he thought.

If he expects clarification, he gets none, instead Edward just offers a half-hearted, so very slightly hopeful smile. "What do you say, Iz?"

What does he say? He says, "Why now?" he says, "Why me?" he says, "Do you understand what you're asking of me?" he says, "Is this something you actually want?" he says, "What do you think you're doing?" he says, "Why now, at this moment, when I was about to destroy you myself?"

He says nothing. His throat closes up, he snaps the book closed, the crumpled, mangled image of Blackbeard pressed into his hand. He swallows, focusing on the feel of the bob of his Adam's apple, the way his throat presses briefly against his collar, against the ring that always lives there. 

What does he say?

In the end he says, "I'll see, there might be work to get done, and there's no way this fuckin' crew will get it done if I don't stand over them." 

When he looks back, there's two embers fighting for dominance in Edward's eyes, flickering in and out as one wins over the other; the first is disappointment, a dark shadow that breaks across his face like a cold wave in a storm, and the second is hope, a glinting, glistening thing that waits, desperately, to know if it's right.

He shoves the book back onto the shelf, shoves Stede Bonnet's book back onto Stede Bonnet's shelf in Stede Bonnet's cabin. They've always lived within the walls of stolen ships, but never has he felt it as acutely as now, like a thief that slunk in during the night and slipped away with everything that belongs, still, to someone else. 

"Yeah, Iz," Edward says. His voice has the smallest crack, the tiniest break, and Izzy put that there. He was going to do worse, so why does a small, hairline fracture ache so much in his chest? "I'll leave the door unlocked, just in case you find the time."

It's so many things at once, so many emotions and feelings and offers and outs. He's leaving the door unlocked. Izzy can walk in, or Izzy can walk out. He can, if he chooses, linger in the doorway like a ghost, neither committing nor leaving. Edward has left the door for him, it's up to him what he does with it.

He crumples the paper further, until it tears in his tight grip, and storms out as though Edward had yelled at him. 

He does not look back to see which ember has won, which one has ignited a fire in Edward's eyes, because, he thinks, whichever one it is, Izzy would rush right back into those flames.

OM + Sensitive Digestive System MC

I should be in bed rn and I gotta wake up early but I used to think about this a lot and it just came back so here we go lmao. This got super long but let me know if you want me to do Dia, Simeon, Solomon, and/or Luke! I unfortunately have not played since the introduction of the other characters, so I cannot write head cannons for them.

Hcs based on my actual high-wire balancing act of a digestive system✨ So you get swiped right outta your world and you're still processing everything when dinner rolls around and the food on your plate is like nothing you've ever seen. These dudes literally eat poison, ofc their food is all totally different - and potentially dangerous. Lucy and Dia are careful af so ofc they did the research and Lucy's already done the most to make sure his brothers aren't gonna feed you poison, but your digestive system still can't do without your fine-tuned diet. You might not be able to eat with them every day, and you definitely can't give up your own breakfast. If it's really bad, you might have to supplement human foods while your digestive system gets a little more accustomed to the local stuff, or else have a lot of pain and a hospital visit. Regardless, you'll still be sick for at least few days.

Lucifer

When you first get to the devildom, it's kinda like he was just told that his new involuntary pet beetle has an autoimmune disorder and is gonna need way more effort than he was voluntold to put in

Annoying and disappointing, but what can you do

Regardless, he's still doing his utmost, trying to make sure you get the food and medicine you need and regularly checking in to make sure you don't need to see a doctor until the worst of it passes

When he starts warming up to you he'll start being more careful with you

He'll do little things in the background like getting safe foods added to the cafeteria menu so you don't go hungry if you forget or don't have time to pack a lunch

Eventually he'll start catching on to smaller nuances and preparing in advance

Only got 2-3 hours of sleep? Here's some stomach meds and some human world canned soup

Been physically distancing yourself from people and hunching over? You'll find some simethicone by your door when you get home

And unless you're trying to start a stockpile, you better take it when you're having symptoms

It took mad effort to figure out what exact medicines you need and where to get them but he will never tell you that

If a big deadline is coming up at school like big tests or a week of project due dates, he'll be sure to check on you at night and make sure you're going to bed

He doesn't want you staying up too late and getting sick

He's perfectly willing to help you convince your professor(s) to extend your deadline if you've been trying, but it's too much

If ya'll are dating and your organs have been especially displeased, sometimes he'll set his work aside for a bit and just hang out with you for a while

In your room or his room, he'll get you a heat pad and just lay with you for a while

He'll check in on your condition and just lay with you and chat for a while

Then if you fall asleep he'll make sure your heat pad is still warm, bundle you up, and get back to his work

Second only to Asmo in making you rehydrate when you need it

If you leave your water bottle at home on accident or on purpose you'll find a vending machine bottled water in your desk with a note

"Don't forget to stay hydrated"

It's not signed but you know who left it there

If ya'll are eating at a restaurant he's absolutely glancing at your food to make sure it doesn't have anything you can't eat in it

If you don't notice he'll get worried

"What in the Devildom am I going to do with you? Unless you're trying to take after Beel, please look at your food before you eat it. We wouldn't want a medical emergency on our hands."

He'll have to find a way to foolproof restaurants after this incident

Mammon

Wasn't paying attention when you told Lucifer at the dinner table that the food was going to make you sick

Has no idea

Got his ass whooped the first time he made dinner 'cause every last dish was poisonous and they had to order you pizza and threaten the shop to make sure they got it right with no cross contamination

It takes him a hot second, but between the noises your organs make and the way you constantly look like you're in pain those first few days he figures it out

Will be aloof as hell, might even make fun of you for it if he's talking to you when he realizes,

but he's gonna sit around worrying about you and constantly glancing over to see if you've miraculously recovered

"Do ya need me to take ya to the doctor or somethin'? I'm not worryin' or anything! I just don't want Lucifer to find out you died on my watch over some stupid stomach bug."

Lies

When ya'll get closer he'll invite you to hang out during lunch so he can make sure you're eating properly

Can't figure out what meds you need or where to get them, hasn't quite realized he can ask Satan

If you ever have to cancel plans or stay home from school because of it, he'll pop into your room with insanely soft & lightweight oversized pants

Yes, they were expensive

Yes, Lucifer's gonna whoop his ass if he had to skip class to give it to you

And he's gonna whoop Mammon's ass anyway for spending a bunch of money again

If ya'll are dating any time you're especially sick he'll get you whatever you need

It's literally midnight but the stock of meds is all out and you're in terrible pain?

He's running to the 24/7 convenience store

Running

And every single time you're stuck in bed he's gonna be cuddling you like it's the last time

You will have to ask him not to squish your midsection

He just really doesn't like that you, someone he loves so much, are in pain.

He's constantly trying to buy you fancy stuff that would really only be a minor improvement

May get scammed into buying you fancy snake oil

Multiple times

Leviathan

Wasn't even at dinner

Isn't allowed near the stove unless he's helping someone out

Still listened to the list of stuff you can't eat, though

Put in literally zero effort but memorized most of it anyway

Partially because he already had knowledge of some of the things humans can't eat from anime and manga

He couldn't care less anyway

You're sick? Rip for you, dude. Not his problem.

Until ya'll are friends, that is.

Now he's treating you like a delicate flower

Will literally agonize over giving you a cup of tea because he's worried you'll get sick

Will watch any food anyone gives you like a hawk to make sure it doesn't have anything you can't eat in it

"Wh- is that a belladona quiche? MC can't eat that! Are you trying to kill them?!"

Relates you to the tragic character with a chronic illness who dies half way through the series, leaving all the other characters in turmoil

You are not that, but it'll take a while to properly convince him of such

Would literally walk through a popular mall at peak hours on a Sunday to get you medicine if he had to

Anything in the name of friendship, right?

Will dress up and do all the Ruri-chan healing spells at your bed side

Has a lot of character-themed human food on hand and will offer it to you because he knows it's usually safe

Tried to make your favorite stomach-easing food exactly once and burned it so bad the fire alarm went off

If you get especially sick and can't sleep because of the pain he'll always welcome you to his room to just sit next to him while he games or watches anime into the early hours of the morning

If ya'll are dating he will happily just cradle you in his lap

He's playing games, you're wrapped up in a blanket burrito sleeping cozily in his arms

He looks down to see your sleeping face

Lucky man

He cannot move and risk waking you

So when he's gonna go to sleep he just turns the game off, sets the controller down, wraps his arms around you tightly so you don't fall, and falls asleep with you

Satan

Listened when you told Lucifer at the dinner table and put on a very smug face when Lucifer sighed and started rubbing his temples

Genuinely enjoying the fact that your mere existence in the Devildom is already causing Lucifer significant trouble

Already knew the things that were poisonous to humans, didn't need the list

Deeply considers lightly poisoning your food just to make it worse, but can't find an opportunity to do so

Likes you just a bit more simply because you are a bigger headache to Lucifer

If he catches any medicine left by your door he's gonna swipe it

When he starts warming up to you he'll find himself giving you medical advice

As he figures out why and ya'll get closer, bro will basically be your at-home doctor

He's doing research to understand your condition and what can be done to prevent problems and combat symptoms

He's carefully observing your habits and what causes problems

After observing long enough, he has almost as good an understanding of your needs as you do and has even noticed patterns you missed

"Is that coffee? You should really have a protein bar with that, we had pizza for dinner last night."

Has invented stomach-settling food for you from devildom ingredients that were similar enough to human ingredients

Has done extensive research into a cure for your condition and may have succeeded

Is very protective surrounding food you are given

Anyone who poisons you had better go down on hands and knees beg for forgiveness even if it was an accident

You once ordered tea with your dinner and stressed that it must be decaf, but they gave you caf and it kept you up all night, causing you to miss a day of school because you were so sick

The one responsible can't get a job in the front-end service industry anymore

If you get particularly sick he knows you'll be okay, but if you need comfort you're welcome to come hang out with him

He keeps meds on hand for you anyway

Will make room for you to sit by him and keep water nearby so you don't get dehydrated

Not much difference if you're dating

Might gently massage your stomach to break down gas bubbles and help you feel better

If you start gassing him out he'll literally just light a candle he does not care

Sometimes when you're just being you, the light of his life who put words like "love" on his pages, he feels just the slightest bit grateful to Lucifer for making it so difficult to poison you when you first got here

Asmodeus

Heard it when Lucifer was giving the lecture about minding what foods they gave you, heard it when you said at dinner that there was more to it, didn't care enough to remember either instance

It's not that he doesn't like you, it's just that he's a lover of all beautiful people in the world, so there's no point fussing over the specific details of just one.

He's also not allowed near a stove without supervision, so it didn't really apply to him anyway.

If you have to turn down food from him or someone else when he's around because it'll make you sick, he'll feel a little bad for you and it'll stick with him after that

Otherwise he's gonna notice because you look brutally hung over in the days after your arrival but are neither going out nor bringing egregious amounts of alcohol/demonus into your room

When he starts liking you more he'll be your absolute buddy

Literally the queen of, "Here babes, drink some water, you need it."

He will take one look at you, know you are dehydrated, and give you water

For the love of beauty you will not be dehydrated in his presence

If you ever juiced it at school he would help you no questions asked and no judgement

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he has whole wardrobes ready in secret places around the school

And he definitely keeps some kind of scent (perfume, cologne, deodorant, etc.) with him

You inspire him to make cute healthy smoothies

Ya'll totally bond over coming up with recipes together

He loves making matching art with chia seeds, leaves, really thin fruit slices, or other garnishes so it makes a picture when you put the cups next to each other, then posting the pictures on Devilgram

If you teach him how to make one of your simple stomach-easers, he'll get it right after that

He usually messes up the kitchen because he gets too fancy with it, but this is for your health, so he makes it simple

If you get particularly sick he'll make sure you get the medicine you need and make it a self-care night

Take a hot shower, throw on your coziest pjs and biggest pants, and come over to his room

Ya'll are doing face masks, hair masks, moisturizing, dipping your feet in his enormous bath and shaving those legs, the whole deal

All the while you just hang out and appreciate each other and gossip over your home-made smoothies

By the end of it you'll feel stress-free, fabulous, and ready to start tomorrow on the right foot

Same thing if ya'll are dating but with so so many kisses and ofc cuddles

"Nothing like a little spa day to get you back on your feet, hm? You're always welcome to place yourself in my loving hands. You know I'll always take the best care of you❤️"

You know this man does not care if you gas up the room, he's got enough scents around to fry somebody's nose right the fuck off

Beelzebub

Was absolutely pissed when Lucifer said his dinner options were being limited by a goddamn human

And now he's hearing that there's more?

Literally cuts in to tell Lucifer he's not taking any more dishes off his dinner and breakfast lists

Gives you the coldest glare while he does it

Is completely relieved when you clarify that you won't be able to eat with them all the time, and when you're not they can have whatever they want.

Still eyes you suspiciously and coldly after that because you almost limited his meal options for 2/3 meals a day

Get him some snacks when he's hungry and ya'll will be all good, though

Once he starts warming up to you he'll be absolutely stricken by how sad it is that your diet is so limited

He occasionally has to make something else on a particular night because you're eating with them, but you have to live your life without those foods

You can't have hemlock salads or death cherry lemonade and it's awful

He makes an effort to get you nice snacks when he comes across ones you can safely eat

"Madam Screams was doing a special on human world ingredients, so I got you this chocolate chestnut cake. You can eat this, right?"

After becoming surprise snack buddies you'll become friends quickly When you explain to him that you can eat most Devildom food, you just have to get used to it first, ya'll are on a schedule

He'll be giving you small amounts of new stuff to try, mixing it with human ingredients to make it go down easier, working it into your diet

He is determined to open up your options so you can enjoy Devildom food just as much as he does

He will help you find easy-to-digest Devildom foods that you can fall back on when there's no human food around

If you get sick he'll be right there with some warm cinnamon apple tea and honey

Doesn't have medicine and doesn't know what you need, but will be texting you pictures from the store to figure it out

The king of comfort food can and will make you whatever you want

As long as it can be made in enormous servings so he can eat it with you

He'll constantly be checking in on you to see if you need anything

"How are you feeling? Do you need some water? I can get you a steamed veggie bun. You haven't eaten much, do you need to go to the doctor? I can carry you."

He really just wants to be sure you're okay

Will ask if you want to do some workouts 'cause they do wonders on the digestive system

This is half the reason he never gets food poisoning

He works out so often and so hard that it passes right through his system before he even notices

If you're really sick and/or it's the rare kind of sick that workouts exacerbate, it's gonna be a soft chill night

Enough mac and cheese to fuel a train, a movie, comfy pjs, blankets, pillows, and a big soft 'ol Beel there just for you

If you're dating he has become your chair

Beel strikes me as the kinda guy who only has a nose when he's actively searching for food, so you could gas the room so hard it fries your nostrils and he wouldn't notice until he ran out of snacks

And at that point he wouldn't even care enough to light a candle or anything, it's entirely up to you

Will literally just fall asleep holding you

It honestly scares him a little when you get really sick

Food is his world, but it breaks you so easily

You need it to live, so it's not something he can protect you from, either

Please reassure this wholesome adzuki bean that everything is okay and you're not gonna die from a little digestive trouble

And please do not die on him

Belphegor

Ignoring the fact that he is the poo demon himself Which kinda makes sense considering Beel, the sun to his moon, is the demon of intake

Did not get the list of poisons

No one remembered to tell him when he got out of the attic

If anyone had told him while he was up there, he would've taken fucking notes to poison your ass

No one told him you had a sensitive digestive system, either

Bro found out waaaay late

If he found out because he gave you poison or something you're sensitive to and you ate it without realizing it, he would feel like absolute shit

How in the Devildom do you come back from almost killing someone or just generally causing them pain and suffering twice

His brothers might curate your interactions for a while

If that unfortunate scenario were avoided, he'd probably find out because the list of poisonous ingredients was still on the fridge, leading him to ask and get the rest of the information

Would go to the store to get you medicine, but is much more likely to ask Beel to do it or ask you to come with him

He won't make you go alone, but will at least ask if you can go together

His solution to everything is naps

If he's in pain, he's napping, so if you're in pain, he's dragging you down for a nap

You need soft pillows and warm blankets? Say no more.

You need a cuddle buddy? Bro, say. No. More. He's here.

And you thought you needed a comfy pillow to hug? Nah, you needed a Belphie, and he'll make sure you know that.

He's much better than a pillow anyway

Will get up with you for tea and snacks, of course

Will remind you to drink water any time you're not napping together

If you're sick and you try to go to school anyway he'll literally just hold you tight and sleep through his alarm

"Why bother? You're sick, you have the perfect excuse. School sucks anyway. Just stay here and sleep through it with me."

You'd have to convince Beel to carry you both to school, and he won't condone you sacrificing your health for school

It's just not happening on their watch

He doesn't get as worried as Beel, but he'll still get a little edgy if you're too sick for too long and either start distancing himself or holding on tighter and asking frequently if you need a doctor

Will literally drag you to the doctor if it gets too serious for his liking or it takes too much longer than usual for you to get better

Lilith lost her human lover to illness, he will not follow in her footsteps

He'll feel better as soon as you're well again, of course

He just needs a little reminder from time to time that humans aren't quite so fragile

All shades of green; mint green resonates w my childhood self and i love me some dark green on clothes, interior decor, etc. Love chartreuse bc it sounds like shart and it makes me giggle. Did yall know there's a type of green called 'hooker's green'? unrelated to sex workers, unfortunately

Last songs:

Six Days (Remix) by DJ Shadow - Beautiful lyrics, def relevant today with all the mess in global affairs rn. A bit bummed out rn bc I just found out that it's from Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift and I did not expect that

Coconut Mall Jazz Arrangement by insaneintherainmusic - 'ya like jazz~?' yeah i fcking love jazz. as a classical clarinetist (non-professional lol) who's nearest attempt at jazz was w the clarinet introduction in Rhapsody in Blue i have so much respect for jazz musicians. If jazz ever had a human form I'd simp the hell out of them. it's such a beautiful genre of music and modern music def needs to give it more credit bc w/o it we wouldn't have a lot of music we have today. sorry that was a terrible sentence but god i love jazz. it's like eating an awesome 7-layer dip. i fucking love 7-layer dips. I recommend everyone to watch 1959, the Year that Changed Jazz , awesome documentary.

(fuck now i'm hungry)

Last series:

Extraordinary Attorney Woo - Such an adorable kdrama. While I don't think it's the BEST representation of autism for the Korean audience, I do think it's a fairly good step in the right direction! I rlly like how Woo solves each case with a creative way, which is my primary reason as of why I enjoy the show. But I think it's also worth mentioning the impact it has on Korean society. As a Korean person who often spends a lot of time on Korean media, I've read, heard, and watched stories about how EAW actually has increased prejudice against autistic ppl in some ways. The drama promotes the misconception that an autistic person must be good/genius at something, and when such a misconception is corrected by an autistic person or a person who cares for an autistic person, ppl get disappointed. Many Korean primary/secondary school students have also pointed out how their friends have started using 'Woo Young Woo' as a mocking nickname for ppl who may not necessarily fit in with the crowd, autistic or not. The drama has also encouraged young ppl to act like the autistic protagonist, which often turns into a display of mockery against autistic ppl. Although the drama does break the stereotype that autistic ppl are intellectually/emotionally inferior to neurotypical ppl, it also indirectly encourages ppl to exotify and, to a certain extent, fetishize autistic ppl. That being said I think that EAW does have great potential for future kdramas to include more positive, nuanced, and accurate representation of autism.

I'm glad EXO is having a comeback, but it's so bittersweet, no Kai in the MV ://// and HOW MANY VERSIONS, SM needs more money they won't pay them??? The fact it's titled Exist, idk if it's coincidental, but it feels so poignant to me. I can't imagine the atmosphere with the lawsuit going on. Lawsuit at 4, dance practice at 6 for real 😭😭😭😭

The pre-release dropped?! Not them putting Kai on the thumbnail, also what happened MISTER ROVER. I can't listen rn, but apparently it's an emotional track?

Me opening football news every few days: 😐🤚🏼🤔🙄😫😡💀🥱🤭🤨🤢

Girl, I met some F1 fan, but she supports Ferrari, because her boyfriend works for them, I immediately thought about you

This https://twitter.com/its5HINee/status/1668061530061955073?t=_Ukix1ExZTRHiJ4NoPDyAQ&s=19 will either be a banger or the most annoying song ever, knowing SM... I was already taken aback by DCM, but it grew on me. It's Shinee so I'll take whatever, but EmbarrasSMENT better not fuck this up!!! the "teaser" with Key randomly saying H A R D I died jshshhshahdhagahsjsns. The Feeling got me feel all the feelings, weird ass SM with their inconsistency about including Jjong though, his name was on the map, but didn't appear on the screen, thankfully Minho and the rest will not forget to include him EVER

Yes, SM is shit, but they have the creativity! They also have great idols with cool vision so there's that. So you noticed the lack of interesting facial expressions in Ateez's photos too? I've been talking about it since 2021 and some people thought I was shading the members... it's also on the photographer to bring something out of their models. Only Hwa, Joong and Mingi deliver in this department :/ others get same poses, same face, boring clothes and whitewashing. *Taeyong's Ghost playing in the distance* ???? Why

https://twitter.com/shiningstarhwa_/status/1667539149224812547?t=M17uc9le6MGGf7w2PXXiTg&s=19 for real, this is dizzying... I'm glad they're getting to see more fans, but 🔪🔪🔪🔪 at what cost

Stop this is my nightmare, stop trying to make the grillz happen!!! 💀💀💀💀 https://twitter.com/pshsource/status/1668067391937314816?t=tG3-4fYKvgoLsSs5lUt99w&s=19 and rapper Hwa, see I'm not opposed, but... as we established, he's not a gangsta rapper ajdhjahsjaahhshahs also I hope he sings as well, I know people go crazy whenever he raps, but I love his vocals and get disappointed whenever he sings, but with an autotune or his parts are more like sing-talking :/ anyway I'm trying not to be too negative. But I also don't believe Ktinys descriptions, because they usually talk out of their asses, I'm sorry 😭 I hope something delivers and they prove me wrong, cause so far I'm not exactly excited for this cb. But I was meh about Stray Kids too and couldn't believe what I was hearing at first, but now I'm kinda addicted to their album, lmao

At least I'm not gonna go feral over the potential Seonghwa grillz photocards, but everyone else stay safe, they're gonna be priceeeeeey

Lmao western pub, I totally forgot the word saloon existed 😅 I didn't buy much at the pop up I also got a jumpscare cause there was a framed photo of Hwa with grillz 🙈 it was fine, but so disorganised. They had a whole ass mechanic shop in there too?! And bikes, lol

When I thought I couldn't hate LA kpoppers even more KCON LA had to come into play 🔪

Now, this is fucking crazy, because I talked about it with my friends a few days ago. We were like "there weren't many random idols spotting" and that's true, yeah I saw some ex-Wanna One members, a boy group and a girl group we couldn't identify, a few actors too, and my friend saw Xiaojun (I missed him by 15 minutes) and then YESTERDAY we were minding our own business at Starbucks, it was rather late, not many people inside when... YUTA. See I managed to embarrass myself cause unbeknownst to me at that time my friends were already having a convo about him, cause they heard some girls outside whisper about Yuta, but I was too busy to notice, so when I heard his name I was like "Yuta what?" and long story short: HE HEARD ME 🤡 but he was very nice and chill, we chatted, he gave us his autographs, also held my phone and noticed my Taeyong lockscreen and Felix photocard, complimented me and my friend on our Japanese 😆

Then my other friend used me as her spokesperson and told me to tell him a few things in Japanese, so while we've waited for our orders I was like "uhm, well, so..." but I composed myself and then my other friend chimed in. In the end when we were outside he waved at us and my non-kpop friends asked if he was our friend sjhahhdhhahshagshaha. See, I'm already besties with Ten CLEARLY, now I'm befriending Yuta (he was on Music Core cheering for Taeyong, so he's obviously stalking me) I'll get that tea on SM soon!!!

About Tyong, some NCT members came to his showcase, it was so fun, only 300 people so I felt special <3 Shalala grew on me, I didn't dislike it on my first listen, but I wasn't sure if I'd listen to it, but all the challenges he's been doing convinced me! My fave bside is 404 File Not Found and Ruby is so 💔 normally I don't care much about the lyrics, but its for his dog that passed away 🤧 also Taeyong x Felix my highlighers squad https://twitter.com/xieyunpretty/status/1667780155631345664?t=TplStZ6TMsssC11QDXvtrg&s=19! Stray Kids adopting him in general, I saw a lot of cute interactions between them during the music shows, TY was so awkward being there without his group. I went to Inkigayo too and Mark and Haechan came to watch him, Mark was so fucking loud!

And his photocards game SO FUCKING STRONG https://twitter.com/meongmeongiiee/status/1667037360167735296?t=kjRYsolGGOjnHy8AkmaQtQ&s=19 I've already secured a few 🙊 the photo books from his album are truly masterpieces, he fits every concept so well!

Me: I hate boxing! Also me: Ooooh a new Dohwan boxing drama... The things I sacrifice for some men...

I've been watching this anime called The Reason Why Raeliana Ended Up At The Duke's Mansion and I immediately thought of duke Seonghwa, the guy has black hair, so naturally......

Oh wow, finally more challenges https://twitter.com/1024updates/status/1668168804461948929?t=wo93MHIBykWLfQMouFnTqg&s=19 Ateez x Taeyong PLS PLS PLS - DV 💖

no bc however we shit on sm, their art and their idols are truly on par. YES I DIDDDD every photobook it’s the same which is why i tend not to buy them bc it feels like a direct copy but in different designs like even the camera angle is the same,,, mingi really did deliver in the deja vu comeback and honestly he better in this one too,,, like let’s make ateez’s photo books feel like a full fledged magazine shoot— use hands, give props, move the body, the angles of the photos, zoom in parts of the face for the aesthetic,,, like lessgo u got the budget make the photographer do something !!!!!!!

for ex :

Stop this is my nightmare, stop trying to make the grillz happen!!! 💀💀💀💀 https://twitter.com/pshsource/status/1668067391937314816?t=tG3-4fYKvgoLsSs5lUt99w&s=19 and rapper Hwa, see I'm not opposed, but... as we established, he's not a gangsta rapper ajdhjahsjaahhshahs also I hope he sings as well, I know people go crazy whenever he raps, but I love his vocals and get disappointed whenever he sings, but with an autotune or his parts are more like sing-talking :/ anyway I'm trying not to be too negative.

and if he doesn’t put his tongue inside w those grills it’s on sight. YES U ARE SO RIGHT THE MESH WITH AUTOTUNE IN HIS VOICE JUST BE RANDOM,,, challenge to not use any sort of autotune in their voices so we hear the raw vocals, the deep parts and the harmonies pls kq pls 🤲🏻😭 i know one of them said it sounds kinda annoying like the chorus but annoyingly good???? so i don’t even know what to expect but i hope for the best! a good chorus and a bridge that connects pls ! ! ! still have not heard skz’s yet idk if i want to from what ive heard from clips 😭😭😭

At least I'm not gonna go feral over the potential Seonghwa grillz photocards, but everyone else stay safe, they're gonna be priceeeeeey /// Lmao western pub, I totally forgot the word saloon existed 😅 I didn't buy much at the pop up I also got a jumpscare cause there was a framed photo of Hwa with grillz 🙈 it was fine, but so disorganised.

[boydepartment]

Hello, I'm here to fill that sheep anon hole that has been missing for like 6 days. Totally my bad, I was thinking about what/when to write and 5 days went by without me noticing. I've been meaning to say this, but don't feel pressured to reply right away either, life gets crazy hectic sometimes. I totally get it. For today's message, have some thoughts that have been popping up in my head recently. =)

I know I write about how lonely life can be, but I also would like to acknowledge the people who have been by my side. I feel by not writing about them, it would be undervaluing their impact on my life. I have a small friend group which I am very very very grateful for because they helped support me through a difficult situation a few months ago, pre-sheep anon era, if you will. They were the ones who gave me the courage to confront my problem back then that I didn't have. Although I haven't completely opened up to them, I know that they'll listen when I'm ready.

When I read your response last time, the question that popped up in my head was "What do you do when your/others version of reality doesn't match up with actual reality?" What I meant by that was, what do you do when your expectation or other people's expectations doesn't match with reality? I was thinking about how to answer that question because although I have heard other people's answers, I wanted to have my own take. And the answer came to me in a quote because I love quotes. In the movie, Everything Everywhere All At Once, the main character says to her father, "It's okay if you can't be proud of me, because I finally am." And that phrase will never not break me every single time I hear it. It's devastating when you fail to live up to your own expectations or the expectations of people who you look up to. While having someone who will always unconditionally support you is really nice, I think you can already do that for yourself. Disappointment stings a lot, but the belief that you are inherently valuable regardless of your flaws is a fact that can never be changed. And if you have trouble seeing that in yourself, you can put a little faith in me when I say that I believe in you, so you should believe in yourself a little more. <3

Before I end this, I will like to ask, how are you doing today? Totally random fact, but it started snowing where I live and it was really surprising. Every time I look outside, everything looks like it's covered in powdered sugar. Okay, that's about it, good luck to whatever you are doing!

-🐑

Hi sheepie ❤️ that’s really nice that you have a solid group of friends. It’s always reassuring to have those people by your side, especially when you are ready to open up.

Reality is sometimes hard to deal with, and I will be honest I prefer to sometimes get in my head to run away from it. That’s what pushed me to writing and art. When people aren’t fully in tune with reality normally I just let them be UNLESS they’re doing something that can potentially harm others. The odds are never 0, I like to think that way to have a little giggle at the world around me. Idk if anyone here has watched kurtis conner but I used to love his content. One time he said something like “*celebrity* could walk through that door rn dude, in 5 seconds they could. The odds may be 0.00001 but they aren’t 0.” I think little harmless things like that is fun and keeps life fun. It’s okay to not TOTALLY be in touch w reality as long as you aren’t hurting others, and eventually when life does get serious. You do get back to reality. It’s healthy to have little daydreams and hopes that are seemingly unobtainable

Thank you sheepie, unfortunately I am someone who’s extremely hard on myself and I struggle with not believing in myself. I think it’s human though, to do that. Makes me feel more alive sometimes. Thank you sheepie for always being a sunshine to my blog.

I’m okay, last night was very rough. I had some things brought to my attention about an old flame again. Which is never fun and almost sent me spiraling. I managed to calm myself down though.

A JayJay fun fact, I’ve only ever seen snow once in my life

I hope you are doing well, I really wish I could be more optimistic for you

[herb10]

Not to be an overdramatic bitch but I’m honestly disappointed in Staley. Why did he even allow Justin to play? I understand that professional athletes like Justin are competitive AF so their desire to win can cloud their judgements, but when you’re the head coach, you have to be wiser. Even if Justin wanted to continue, Staley had the final say. Why send him out w/ that depleted ass O-line and risk another injury? It’s Week 2 not the Super Bowl.

Obviously Chargers will take care of their star QB, but they’re kinda sus. It scares me when they say he’s “day to day”, cause I feel like they’re (including Justin) undermining the severity of the issue. Rib cartilage fractures are painful and they’ll probably prescribe him shit ton of meds so he can play. I’m low-key worried that he might become dependent on painkillers. W/o him, the team’s fucked but I’d rather lose a season then rush his recovery and potentially fuck his long-term career/health. 

(And why didn't he take Everett out? Man was gassed and wanted out.)

You pretty much expressed every concern I have and most Herbert fans have rn. Idk what's going on and why both Justin and Everett were kept in when they clearly needed or wanted to sit out. It makes me worried that there's pressure within FO and the coaching staff to live up to the hype the roster has generated this season and that it's causing some hasty decision-making.

Justin is clearly an important asset to the team, but they can't be careless with him in order to try and win games no matter the cost, especially the ones that are already unwinnable like the Chiefs one. You have to play the long game and chucking Justin in when it could jeopardise his ability to play in the future is just unwise imo. But idk what the truth is and what's really going on with Justin. We just have to trust that they are doing the right thing but I don't and that's the issue for me rn.

Hey everyone! I hope you’re all doing well and staying safe out there. :)

After a lot of serious consideration I’ve decided that I won’t be watching S9, at least not live. Almost all of the characters I was pretty invested in are gone, the replacement characters feel more or less like stand-ins for those original characters, and I’m not a big fan of how they’ve treated some of the long-standing characters/cast members over the last few seasons. It just seems like a bad idea for me to pay for streaming to be able to watch it live.

That said, S9 could surprise us all, right?

So hey, if the response to the first episode is overwhelmingly positive, I may catch up via Amazon if they add it there. It looks like a lot of folks are giving the season a chance, so I hope you’ll share your thoughts and opinions with me so that I can stay in the loop. Y’all know my taste, so you’ll know whether it’s worth my time or not. :P
