#cw moths

[boydiisaster]

Can I request half moth demon MC for obey me?

Teen MC just starting highschool?

"contrary to popular belief, i don't like lamps"

reader: gender neutral, they/them pronouns

tw/cw: talks about insects and insect anatomy, cussing

author's note: thank you for the request!! i love writing teen mc content. i know i've said that a lot but it's just so comforting for me. also i really hope you like this- it's a bit messy and i didn't know how to go about it, but it was so fun to write! i hope you enjoy reading <3 (pretend that belphie was never trapped up in the attic for this oneshot)

You knew your life as a regular human wasn't going to last but honestly, did it have to end so soon? And did it have to end by the damn Prince of Hell dragging you back down to the Devildom through a portal? Couldn't he have just, I don't know, phoned you? Maybe sent you an email? Picked you up by car?

You double over once you land, arms wrapped around your stomach trying not to hurl all over Prince Diavolo's floor. The magic in the Devildom makes it hard to hide your less-than-normal appendages, but you somehow manage. Was it because of fear? Was it because the Prince of Hell had his own personal scary dog privileges with that damned Lucifer and Barbatos always by his side? Or was it because that orange-haired man was staring at you like you were just a hunk of meat waiting to be devoured, and if Diavolo found out you weren't totally human, would probably feed you to him?

Either way, you're scared shitless.

"Welcome, human!" The prince cheers happily. God, he's gotten way louder than when you were last here. It makes your head throb. You liked the prince, but the fact that you have sensitive hearing and the fact that he was so... energetic, to put it nicely, didn't make a good combination for you.

"Where am I?" you feign confusion. You dart your eyes around, yelping when that orange-haired man takes a step closer to you. "Don't touch me!" you point.

"He's only here to make sure you don't run," Lucifer heavily signs. "Stop panicking and he won't have to restrain you."

"How can I stop panicking?! You just kidnapped me!"

"They have a point," Barbatos smiles. "Though I wouldn't call it kidnapping."

"I'm a teenager," you deadpan, which wasn't a lie. You were a teenager, even in demon years.

The room falls silent.

"... Okay, perhaps it is kidnapping," Barbatos hums.

"You're damn right it is!" You cross your arms over your chest and groan. "But I won't tell the authorities if you just send me back up through that weird portal thing."

The Prince thinks for a moment, then simply laughs. "We'll sort it out ourselves. Until then, dear MC, welcome to the Devildom!"

"You smell like magic."

After that foolish meeting with Diavolo, Lucifer called in a man by the name Mammon to be your caretaker. He was less than happy to be assigned such a job, but now it seems he's interested in you, much to your dismay.

"What are you talking about?" You roll your eyes. "I'm human. How can I smell like magic?"

"Do you practice witchcraft?" he raises a brow at you.

"Listen bub," you jab a finger into his chest. "I'm tired of all your stupid questions. You don't like me, and I don't like you, so enough with the smalltalk. Let's just get me to my jail cell and quickly get through this year so I can go home."

With that, you take off walking toward the House of Lamentation. Strangely, you happened to know just the right road to take, Mammon noticed.

You also didn't answer his question.

Breakfast with you was awkward. Lucifer had the hardest time seeing you there at the end of the table, poking the Devildom cuisine with your fork. It reminded him of his younger brothers in a bittersweet sort of way. You looked bored more than anything, eyes tired, suppressing yet another yawn behind your hand. Were humans always as tired as you? Maybe you just don't sleep during the night? That would explain why he heard constant loud rustling coming from your room while he was trying to sleep.

"Do you want this?" he heard you whisper to Beelzebub, and when his younger brother happily took your plate, you briskly stood up.

"Thanks for the food," is all you say before hurrying out the door... without your backpack.

"Mammon."

Said demon jumps and bangs his knee against the bottom of the table. "What?" he hisses as he holds his hurt knee.

"MC forgot their bag."

"And why is that my problem?"

"Because you're in charge of taking care of them, remember?" Lucifer cocks a brow. "Or did you manage to forget that easily?"

"I'm not a babysitter," the Avatar of Greed huffs, but yet still stands to grab your bag. "The Great Mammon has many policies; one of the main ones is I don't handle kids."

"Just make sure a demon doesn't eat them on their way to school, okay?" Lucifer rolls his eyes. "You're capable of that much."

"And what if they do become demon food, what then? We'll have one less person to talk care of." Mammon slings your backpack over his shoulder and moves to jog after you. "They're a strange one, Lucifer. Didn't you smell the magic on them? They reek of it. I bet they're up to something."

"Whatever the case, you're still their guardian, so hurry up." Lucifer shoos his younger brother out of the kitchen. When Mammon reluctantly leaves, he turns to face 4 other curious demons.

"That's what that smell was!" Asmo smiles. "I remember it was all around MC's room last night. I thought someone just dropped a bottle of perfume."

"They're either a witch," Satan hums, chewing on his lower lip, "or they're hiding something. But what? What does a human have to hide on their immediate person that's too embarrassing for a demon to see?"

"If they even are a human."

Belphegor yawns behind his hand as he walks in. "By the way, there's holes all over the curtain in the bathroom. You think we've got moths?"

"Here."

You look over at Mammon, who's currently holding an umbrella up for you to take. He's been strangely nice to you recently. He brought you your backpack that you purposely left behind a few days ago, and now he's offering you his only covering for the sudden downpour that's currently happening outside.

You study the demon, then look curiously at the umbrella. "You didn't curse it, did you?"

Mammon rolls his eyes. "Just take the stupid thing."

"Answer my question first."

"No, I didn't! Just-" he grabs your hand and wraps it around the handle of the umbrella. "Take it," he finishes.

You stay silent, as does he as the two of you stand in the doorway of RAD watching the rain fall. With a hesitant step, you walk out into the rain, closing the umbrella as you go. "If you get wet, so do I." You look back at him and feel a hint of satisfaction at his shocked face. Your wings won't suffer from the onslaught of water if you just keep fluttering them, so getting rained on doesn't really matter much to you.

"Come on, dude," you begin to walk away. "Don't tell me you're still on that whole 'you smell like magic so I don't trust you' thing?"

"You're just weird. I thought you hated me?" Mammon quickly catches up with you thanks to his long legs.

"I thought you hated me," you retort.

"Touché."

The conversation dies there, and the two of you walk back to the House of Lamentation in a comfortable silence.

There's a bottle of something sitting on your dresser. Lucifer notices it as soon as he enters your room. The contents inside are a mixture of things, mostly herbs. There's a few rocks and crystals sitting by the jar, as well.

A human realm spell, he thinks, seeing the wax that seals the cork to the bottle. Humans are so entertaining.

He picks up a jar labeled Rain Water, inspecting it closely. It's surprisingly clear for rain water. This must've been why Lucifer saw you carrying in a bucket of water from outside last week after you got home with Mammon, sopping wet.

Posters hang all over your walls depicting all sorts of things. There's one with the phases of the moon on it, another with a blue-haired anime girl. Lucifer recognizes her from Leviathan's own poster. He was happy you were finally settling in, but honestly did you really need to hang up so much stuff? The walls look cluttered, and was that a stop sign hanging above your bed?

With a sigh, the demon sits down on your mattress. It's surprisingly comfortable. The sheets you brought down from your human realm bedroom were soft, as well. You never made your bed, so pillows were strewn about the mattress. Lucifer pretends to not become overwhelmed by the amount of magic in the air as he makes your bed for you.

Either you were a very strong human realm witch, or you weren't entirely human. Lucifer will give you the benefit of the doubt, at least for now. His brothers are beginning to grow fond of you, he knows, and with Beelzebub taking out the entire wall to your bedroom a few days ago, now doesn't seem like the best time to confront you with his suspicions.

He lies back on your bed and gazes up at those cheesy glow-in-the-dark stars you giddily put up yesterday. He's not worried of you finding him in here, you're currently out shopping with Beelzebub and Mammon, so with a yawn, the eldest demon brother gently closes his eyes and hums. He rolls over to take a quick nap, but then he feels something dig into his side.

"I had hoped I could've hid it from you longer."

7 sets of eyes are on you. You pretend to not care, but it was honestly getting a little embarrassing, especially with Lucifer holding up your spell bag in his fingers to show off to everyone in the room.

"Hide it from us?" Satan scoffs. "We're demons. You're a demon. You should know we can smell magic from miles away."

"I'm half demon," you snarkily correct him. "And it's not like I know much about being one. My mom left the Devildom when I was like, 7. I've been around humans practically my whole life."

"Yeah, yeah. MC lied to us, we're all very distraught." Asmo stands. "I must say though," he circles you, touching bits and pieces of your "new" appendages, "I've never seen a moth demon this pretty before. Your wings have such eccentric designs on them."

He pulls a bit on your wing and you yelp. "Watch it! They're fragile."

"So do you like, eat cloth like actual moths do?" Leviathan giggles as he plays with your antenna. You swat him away and huff at his stupid assumption, growing flustered.

"No! Well, I used to as a baby. But I grew out of that so stop laughing at me!"

"Do you ever overheat with that weird fur coat on your chest?" Mammon points.

"It's actually scales," you touch your chest a bit. "But sometimes."

"Are you fond of light like real moths are?"

You guess even Lucifer can't help but tease you. Your face grows hot as you frown at the smirking demon in front of you. His brothers have doubled over in laughter. Even Beelzebub cracks a smile.

"Shut up! I actually don't, so quit making fun of me!" Your wings flutter out of irritation. "Or I'll... I'll...!"

"You'll what?" Belphegor laughs. "Get so mad that you fly into a burning candle?"

That provokes more laughter from the 7 demon brothers. You cover your face and groan. "You're not funny!"

"Awe, we're just messing with you MC!" Asmo giggles. "I'll buy you a new lamp to make up for it."

"Shut up!" you whine and push the Lust Avatar away as he bursts into another fit of laughter. "You're not original! Get a new joke!"

"What do you want for dinner tonight, MC?" Satan smiles. "Maybe something fancy? An expensive shirt from Majolish, perhaps?"

"I'm leaving!" You turn and walk away from the family. "I'm walking out the door!"

"Don't let a lamp distract you! There's lots of them along the way."

"Shut up!"

off to do crimes! theyre all sword related.

[borknugget]

They wanted to be held, and stayed there for 2 hours while I took a nap. Why are Bombyx mori moths like this? Because domestication it turns out! I did a quick search online to see if this was a selectively-bred trait for them to be so docile and easy to handle. It definitely is, and I cherish these little real life Pokémon. The others passed of old age, so I have these three left. The one closest to the camera is named Frosmoth, the one with the weird wing is Butterfree, and the one furthest away is Vivillion. Humans really will pack bond with anything lol.

Imagining twrp all as moths

Phobos would just be his normal self (because moth Phobos is supreme /lh /hj)

Havve would be like a traditional moth man. Big hulkng figure, glowy red eyes, etc.

Meouch would be the fluffiest. No explanation needed.

And Sung would just be a regular moth.

Example:

[falling-forever-upwards]

[taffytil]

fluffy moth jon!!! *does a little dance* fluffy moth jon!!!!

[bardicbird]

mighty nein as moths 2/2 + npcs

second part :] let’s start with cad !

Caduceus - Spanish Moon Moth

Graellsia isabellae is a part of the silkmoth family ! this species is native to france and spain, and has an absolutely beautiful green and dark pink pattern that i thought fit cad very well ! this species just reminds me a lot of green tea and hot chocolate, and i think that’s so caduceus :]

Yasha - Giant Leopard Moth

this moth species, scientifically known as Hypercompe scribonia, are fully nocturnal with an average wingspan of 5.7-9.1 cm (approx. 2.25-3.6 in) . Often mistaken as poisonous, because of its likeness to the woolly worm, but these buddies are harmless ! both the patterning and size of this moth made me think of yasha :] also the fact that she appears prickly, but is an absolute sweetheart underneath.

Veth - Lime Hawk-Moth

look at these lads ! Mimas tillae, or the lime hawk-moth is a pretty varied species, appearance wise ! not gonna lie, finding a moth for veth was probably the hardest out of the group.. but overall, i think the colors and patterns on these moths fit veth quite well.

Essek - Black Witch Moth

Ascalapha odorata, also known as the black witch moth, the mourning moth, or the ‘bat moth’, etc. is a large moth resembling the shape of a bat. it is the largest noctuid in the U.S with a wingspan of up to six inches !! this species carries a lot of burdens in the form of folklore, as it’s known to generally be a harbinger of death , or a sign of spiritual unrest. i don’t even want to talk about the Paraguay folklore bc it’s really gross and body-horror-esque, so look it up if you want to. some cultures instead, see this spiritual connotation as a positive. specifically in Hawaii, these moths are seen as the embodiment of a loved one’s soul returning to say goodbye before moving on. in the Bahamas, they even call this creature a ‘money moth’ or ‘money bat’, believing that being touched by one means you will come into money (this sentiment is similarly, though not exactly, shared by some in South Texas as well). first off: the aesthetic is very essek. the iridescent-like design on the wings reminds me a bit of his mantle. the folklore, as well, fits his upbringing as a young prodigy (money, success, ghosts), his eventual treason (death, misfortune), and the aftermath of his betrayal with the nein (mourning). i also think essek just kind of gives off bat vibes

Lucien - Small Emperor Moth

i had to include lucien in this, speficially because Saturnia pavonia, or the small emperor moth, is known for its creepy as shit eye patterns. the males of this species are usually smaller in size, but much more colorful. i don’t really know what else to say about this: it has too many eyes: it’s lucien.

[ruby-whistler]

*hold up microphone* ruby the masses must know.... Do u have a dsmpsona or sona at all for.... Fanart purposes
