#demon drift

[jollyhaunt]

if we stick to the timeline that the miskatonic massacre occurred around october 23rd or 26th 1985,

and the events of bride happened 8 months later,

then these evil gay fucks really came back to terrorize arkham during pride month.

Alastor X Shy Reader

Warnings ⚠

Alastor took the mer up to their hotel room, the halls empty as he made another water pun, which earned him a fin slap to the face.

"I could drop you, you know?", he said but continued to carry them towards the bathtub.

Setting them down gently, he made sure to get a towel and put it somewhere within reach for them to take when their legs returned.

"There you are dear!", he said before standing up straight. "I'll leave you here now. Don't try to get up too soon, you'll just flop right over!", he laughed and turned to leave.

"Wait.", they spoke softly.

Like an exciting rush, he felt chills run down his back as his body followed the command.

"Don't tell anyone about what you saw..", they paused. "Or what you heard from me. Please."

As soon as they were finished, the 'spell' had broken and he was able to move again. Glancing over his shoulder, the Radio Demon snapped his fingers and his coat was clear of the water spots they had left on him.

"Very well.", he said and began closing the bathroom door. "This will stay our little secret~", he placed a finger over his lips before shutting the door.

He stood there for a moment, hearing the mer let out a sigh before the water turned on.

Satisfied with his findings, the deer demon left their hotel room, making sure to lock the door before closing it.

As he made his way to his radio tower, he thought of ways to get the aquatic demon to sing around him.

I should ease their worries somehow.. He thought. I wonder if there is a way to lure a siren.

.

You hated the transition of your legs returning.

Every time, you felt like your tail was being torn apart. Your scales felt like needles piercing into you when they sunk back into your skin. The webbing on your fingers was the only thing that didn't hurt much, but your hands would cramp a few times the day after.

This is annoying. You thought as you dried yourself completely after taking a bath.

Next was the hard part.

Grabbing the edge of the tub, you slowly stood up. Your feet feeling like you walked many miles without rest, aching as you stepped onto the tile floor.

It hurt.

Step by step, it felt like you were walking on glass, thorns, or hot coal as you made your way into your room to get dressed.

As soon as you could, you dropped onto your bed with a whine, staying there for a moment before crawling under the covers. After turning off the lamp on the nightstand, you hoped that the red dressed demon wouldn't say anything of what he saw.

Yes, you told him a command but the other half was a plea.

Let's not worry about it. He did say it would be our secret. You thought before going to sleep.

The next day was a little odd.

After getting breakfast, the smiling demon began talking to you like you were old friends.

It confused you.

What did he have to gain from talking to a quiet person? There was nothing you could say without hypnotizing him.

.

It was simple.

All he had to do was get them used to him and they'd be comfortable enough to let their guard down.

What better way to do it other than talking?

Food.

Throughout a few weeks, the Radio Demon experimented with all kinds of food. Taking notice of their expressions and the amount of food that they left on their plate. Later, he noticed that they enjoyed snacking on seaweed.

He wasn't sure where they had got it from, but it was something that he made sure was kept stocked in the kitchen and at the bar.

"The fuck? Why seaweed?", Husker grumbled.

"One of our guests enjoys it and the Princess ordered a surplus of the snack.", Alastor said as he watched the cat demon put the box under the bar counter.

Of course, it didn't really work out like he wanted. They were still quiet, still just out of reach, wary of him and his every action.

So he tried a different tactic.

Continuing to talk to them in open spaces but once they left, he hid in the shadows and observed them.

And then it happened.

It was exactly what he was waiting for.

Though he was hiding within the shadows of a dark theater room, he still was able to catch them, to listen to them sing.

Dark brown wood and red velvet from the room had made the area darker than it really was, but they still managed to find a ledge to sit on. They started off with soft hums before a real note came out from their lips.

"Here in the garden

Let's play a game

I'll show you how it's done

Here in the garden

Stand very still

This will be so much fun"

Like before, he felt the pull in his chest, the daze their voice submerged his mind into.

"And then she smiled

That's what I'm after

A smile in her eyes

The sound of her laughter

Happy to listen

Happy to play

Happily watching her drift away"

His shadows held him back from crawling out of the darkness. Something he was quite grateful for as he didn't want to disturb their singing.

"You keep on turning pages, for people who don't care

People who don't care about you

And still it takes you ages, to see that no one's there

See that no one's there

See that no one's there

Everyone's gone on with out you.."

Such a peculiar thing. To feel what they felt through their song, waves of sadness brushing against his mind.

"And aren't I the fool to have

Happily listened

Happy to stay

Happy to watch her drift

Drift

Drift...away."

They finished their song and sighed, wearing a frown.

Something Alastor couldn't just stand by for.

"You have such a lovely voice.", the deer demon spoke up.

They let out a noise of surprise and stood quickly , looking around the room like a frightened animal.

"It's a shame you hide it.", he continued.

He could hear how quick their breathing became as they backed away towards the nearest exit. Before the mer could touch the door, the Radio Demon came out of the shadows behind them and took their wrist.

They gasped and froze, not daring to look at him as he held them close.

Now is his grasp, he hummed in content and put a finger under their chin, lifting it up so they could look him in the eye.

His smile grew wider once they made eye contact.

"Let's make a deal~"

I did not have sushi but I did get to eat seaweed.

~Seline, the person.

I haven't thought about pacific rim for so very long but drift compatible Laios & Marcille is gonna make me lose it

[amygdalae]

Ive talked abt this before but i am often thinking abt the time i got sleep paralysis and there was a hallucinatory presence in the room as usual but that night in particular I very clearly felt it get on my bed and spoon me. If I was in ye olden times and that happened I would 100% have believed it was some sort of incubus

pacific!falls au

Stan and Ford were drift compatible (maybe all twins in universe get tested on the off chance?) and Ford wants to study the rifts that form around the kaiju while Stan just likes a good fight.

Together, they make a really good drift team.

However, Ford starts to make big progress with his study of the rifts and how he wants to shut them down. So much progress in fact, that there’s talk of decommissioning them as a drift team since Ford is more valuable by himself than he is paired with Stan in a mech.

Stan is upset by this and accidentally breaks something on Ford’s lab before being kicked out of the program. Ford is also kicked out of the program for not being able to prove his theories about the rifts and its considered a waste of resources.

Stan drifts around the world after that, becoming closer to a normal civilian and dealing with the fear of living while there are constant kaiju threats.

Ford begins having dreams about the rifts and wants to test a theory but needs help constructing something (the portal).

Fiddleford is one of the technicians who upgrades the mechs and agrees to help Ford construct his portal during his leave (instead of visiting his family).

We know how this ends. The Bill equivalent of this universe is sending the kaiju through the portals and wants Ford and Fiddleford to construct one he can pass through. Fiddleford catches on, Ford summons Stan and ends up on the other side of the portal.

Thirty years later, Mabel and Dipper are drift compatible and sent to live with their Grunkle to talk about the process of drifting and to learn from him.

He teaches them about drifting, lets them pilot a mini mech as practice.

When they get Ford back there is an understanding that he and Stan will need to work together to defeat Bill, but they’re working under the impression they’re no longer drift compatible.

By defeating Bill, the kaiju incursions stop but at the cost of Stan’s memories.

To regain Stan’s memories, Ford finds out they’re still drift compatible and enters their shared mindscape to get his brother back.

Cant sleep so im thinking about ayhalo

I think its like. one sided. qaypierre WOULD smooch that demon and take him on dates. qbad would not recognize anything as a romantic gesture. aypierre could throw a bouquet of chocolate roses at him and bad would just be like ! thank you :}

like they love each other, absolutely. they TRUST each other, to the point where i’d even say it gets in the way of bad seeing aypierre as anything more than a good friend. that’s his guy. The dude always in his corner. Friend resource label: team mate (coparent) (down to help kidnap people). bad doesnt do classic romantic relationships- all of his relationships are INCREDIBLY queer, but the closest he usually gets to what others read as romance is a classic chewtoy4chewtoy dynamic. He LOVES to fuck with people and he loves to get fucked with and if there’s a nice jawline or pretty muscles included?? huge bonus !!

he’s got something- not kinder, with aypierre? not calmer, either, but stable, maybe. pierre has proven, over and over again, that he’s on bad’s side. Spying on tubbo, encouraging bad’s pranks, the kidnapping- i can’t call it a reliable dynamic, not with how paranoid bad is, even when he trusts, but there is still a feeling of understanding that, wherever pierre’s limits are for when he cant support bad (or genuinely turn against him), it hasnt been reached yet

aypierre, on the other hand, i dont know enough about to be absolutely sure but there are some Vibes. ironically, i think hes feeling like his relationships are unreliable. max was going to have their baby, and then he wasnt, and then he left him, then max fucking died. plus whatever is happening with him and ayrobot, which probably leaves him feeling like he cant rely on Himself. like he had, if not a little crush on bad, at least some Interest in him, before. as well as several islanders. i remember the days of the Bed Threat.

but thats part of it, too? because those flings didnt have that emotional connection, and i always got the sense that he started looking for that with maximus, to Love and Be Loved rather than pure lust. To care about someone, genuinely, and be cared about in return. but he didnt get that with the flings, and We know that max was using him, but i dont know if he did, but maybe he had a feeling about it and maybe he also had a feelinf about maximus’ feelings towards bad and maybe- there’s something about that? A little push of not-spite-not-projection onto bad.

because bad IS that reliability, right now. he’s a fucking gremlin. a bastard. a prankster silly guy. he trusts aypierre and aypierre trusts him and they dont share everything but so often, when it comes down to it, it is them against the world. them in the corner, caught, aypierre shouting about kissing as a cover for their crimes while bad runs giggling away from him.

[raddestrose]

Having him pinned beneath you and saying that you’re going to silence him.

Lan Wanji thats so forward of you, but unfortunately Wei Wuxian IS going to take it the OTHER way.

Magnificent Century is wonderful and hilarious and worrying.

I kid you not, as a result of a Political Geography assignment, my WHOLE FAMILY is now watching this show together.

And I am quite worried about it, because we're enjoying it A LOT for a lot of... different reasons, but also the comments on YT and what people seem to be learning/getting from it make me fear this getting popular was a terrible mistake.

Expect extensive blogging about it.

Especially since the ease of finding related tags makes me think I've come to the right place for it.

[tswwwit]

been rewatching gravity falls and this got me thinking-

would dipper allow bill to possess his body at least once? :0

Only if it were necessary for something! Dipper might trust Bill enough to use it for a limited amount of time if he has to, but no good could come from letting him joyride.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I SCROLLED TO THE END?!!!!! THERE'S A HOT SWORDSMITH WITH ANGER ISSUES AND THE HYPERFOCUS OF A GOD AND Y'ALL DIDN'T WRITE MORE FOR HIM????? I fell for this idiot the moment I saw the silly windchimes on his hat, it should be illegal how little there is out here for this man

Nie HuaiSang's Diaries - When Spirits Drift in Time

by IlnaHers

T, WIP, 37k, Wangxian

Summary: Fiction from the poll fic, check it out. Basically this'll be some musings or excerpts I really want to think more about- but I want our cast from the past to witness it. So, guess a god stole HuaiSang's diary where he puts his (my) musings and decided to show it with illustrations to kidnapped people of the past. - will include a worried Lan WangJi and a serious/iron willed Wei WuXian. (I live for fifteen years old Wei WuXian being either in pain or in control) Or: Some people receive invitations from Cloud Recesses right after the end of the Conference in QiShan. But they will soon realize that the matter that brought them here is far more important than they were first led to believe.
