Demons of Change: Epilogue Sneak Peek

July 2003- Indianapolis The sun beats down warm on Mike’s back and he tugs at the tie and dress collar that’s choking him. 

“It’s too damn hot,” he complains as they make their way through the tiny park towards the looming stone courthouse across the street. 

Will huffs a small chuckle and stops Mike on the sidewalk in front of a large fountain. He brushes off his shoulder and fixes the collar of his black suit, tugging Mike closer and gazing up at him, sweet and comforting. 

“You’ll be cooler inside,” he says gently, searching his eyes. 

Mike swallows heavily and is already angry he can’t keep his voice steady. Instead, it comes out cracked and laced with bitterness. “I don’t want to look at him.” 

Will nods in quiet understanding. “I know,” he says gravely. 

He presses his lips to Mike’s and Will tastes like coffee and maple syrup from the breakfast he couldn’t stomach that they’d just had with Mike’s mother. His mother, who hasn’t stopped crying every time he saw her since the scandal broke in April just around his birthday. He had turned thirty-two. 

He knows she blames herself after finding out the details of the case and Mike was scared shitless the entire thing is going to drive her to drink again. There were incessant interviews that dredged up all the miserable parts of Mike’s life he thought he had left to rot in the lonely corn fields and abandoned buildings of Hawkins. And now she looked at him worse than she had when he was young, like some broken-winged bird who’s bones might snap with the slightest wrong handling. It was infuriating. And yet, he is glad she finally knows the truth.

mfw i’m only 16 and have single-handedly made several of the most powerful cultivators cry simply by calling them stupid and telling a few “yo mama” jokes without any repercussions from the elders of my own clan who let me do/say whatever the hell i want because they’ve given up on trying to stop me

Friendly (or unfriendly if you're against this) reminder that this blog is supportive of ALL disorders. This blog does not think ANY disorder inherently makes someone a bad person, and is against any disorder being demonized. This blog wholeheartedly believes that a bad person having a disorder, yes, even if things that are also symptoms of their disorder are part of what caused harm, does not make the disorder a "bad" or "evil" disorder or excuse ableism and demonization directed towards the disorder.

Yes this includes personality disorders

Including npd and aspd

Yes this includes all psychotic disorders & disorders that cause psychotic symptoms

Yes this includes paraphilic disorders. All of them.

Yes this includes disorders that cause, or are even characterized by, attention seeking

Yes this includes disorders that directly have lying as a common symptom

Yes this includes dissociative disorders

Yes this includes any disorder with "gross" symptoms

Yes this includes physical disorders too

Yes this includes disorders that can cause loss of control of any kind- control of speech, control of body movement, etc.

Yes tis includes disorders that make someone "look scary"

This goes for literally any fucking disorder. There are not exceptions.

I don't know how to break it to you all but a bad parent will parent badly with books and a good parent will parent well with an iPad.

Ipads don't make the "ipad kid". What upsets you is a child who is being given something distracting and potentially obnoxious to those around them so that the parent doesn't have to deal with engaging with their child. And it's not new.

I grew up before the invention of the ipad and the complaints were the same. It was "tv kids" and "Gameboy kids". And it was book kids too, though people rarely complained about those kids because it didn't make noise and bother them personally so they no longer cared. Because the "it's for the good of the child!" argument dried up real fast as soon as it was something that didn't affect them.

A good parent who is engaging with their child's interests can do so with an iPad or television. A bad parent can say "take this and leave me alone" with a book or a toy. The problem is that some kids were raised by objects. By whatever kept them busy and entertained and away from their parents. Sure, there are parents who need to realize that's what they're doing and would benefit from changing their parenting style by limiting electronics use, but "if you give your kid an electronic toy, it means you're a bad parent" is not the same thing and largely misses the actual source of the problem.

Your arbitrary standards of what "good children" doing "good child activities" is as restricting.

this year my challenge for everyone is to unlearn the association between love and morality. love is not something that is inherently morally good, and the absence of love is not something that is inherently bad. sex without love isn't morally bankrupt, it's just an action. people without love aren't less kind or less good, they're just people. when we can get past this false (and often unnoticed) dichotomy of good love/evil lovelessness then i think we are going to be able to take leaps and bounds in sex positivity, aro advocacy, certain discussions of mental health...

Pilot // Episode 1

[maddymoreau]

Thinking about how Diavolo’s feelings transcend time and how in the Nightbringer UR+ card Demon Lord’s Castle Tour this conversation happens.

When asked, “Do you wish to see your father?”

Diavolo responds:

“I suppose I do . . .” isn’t the typical reaction to how a child would feel about wanting to see their parent. Especially when said parent has essentially been in a coma for a year.

Along with how Diavolo describe his father.

It makes more sense why when you learn in Lesson 56 how Diavolo was treated by him growing up.

Diavolo can tell when others are lying but is unable to understand his father’s intentions.

Diavolo mentions that he lived a very sheltered life growing up. That from a young age his father never allowed him a chance to talk to anyone outside the castle.

His childhood friend was Mephistopheles. A demon literally RAISED to be his friend. Putting a barrier between the two because Mephistopheles would put Diavolo on a pedestal.

The isolating childhood he experienced riddled with his strict father constantly scolding him.

Despite everything MC is so important to him he wants to see his father again so we can meet.

I wonder if humans and demons in Obey Me! might have different taste receptors and experience taste slightly differently. Not for all things, but for really random stuff, like how some people irl enjoy cilantro and others think it tastes like soap.

Lucifer trying to pridefully power through the dinner MC made for him and failing because he's already gone through five drinks trying to mask its taste, and MC is getting suspicious.

"What is this incredibly sour vegetable? I've never tasted anything so... acrid."

"You mean the sweet potato? Are you saying this sweet potato is what's making your lips pucker?"

"There's absolutely nothing sweet about this potato."

Miwip Wednesday

Demons of Change Ch. 37

It’s the Wednesday after New Years when Max speeds them into the clinic’s parking lot so fast Will clings for dear life to the door handle in the back seat.

“Jesus, Max,” Mike scolds harshly. But when he looks over at her in the front seat there’s a smile spread across his lips. Lucas glances over at Will and shakes his head, grinning too.

“Well, we’re here aren’t we?” she asks in a huff, motioning towards the front door. Mike sighs and he purses his lips, his side profile ghostly white as he glances out the window.

“Yeah,” Mike sighs warily, as if he’s only just remembered. “We’re here.”

“Everything is going to be fine, Mike,” Max soothes, rubbing her hand along the back of his neck and across his shoulder comfortingly.

Mike nods, as if trying to convince himself. “Yeah, totally.”

He and Will get out of the car and Lucas saunters around the engine and hops in the front passenger seat. Mike hangs on the window in the misting rain.

“Don’t fuck up my car,” he says, and then creases his brow at the two of them staring back at him. “And for that matter, don’t fuck in my car either.”

“Oh my God!” Max huffs and rolls her eyes, immediately putting the car in drive. “See you in a few hours!” she calls back at him as she speeds off.

When Mike turns around his face falls.

Will chews his lip. “Are you okay?” he asks worriedly, heart thrumming in his chest.

“Yeah,” Mike whispers with a smile. “I’m fine.”

It’s been almost two weeks since Mike took the blood test. Will had gone with him for that too, lying to his mom and saying they were going to a movie. Mike held his hand so hard in the waiting room he thought it might bruise

day 4: angel & demon >:)

[swiggity-swexual-i-am-asexual]

I love seeing Danny Phantom showing up and being like ‘don’t ask too many questions but John Constantine I own your soul. All of it. Lmao sucks to suck bitch’, and he’s usually all Ghost King Full Regalia as he does it, at least in front of the Justice League, but consider—

He just shows up as Danny Fenton.

“yeah I got bored and collected the pieces like Pokémon. Gotta catch ‘em all” says the 5’2 teen who looks like a stiff breeze could trip him. He denies being a sorcerer, or a magician, concedes he’s maybe psychic but mostly he’s just…. The kid of two mad scientists—who have a basement lab where they opened a portal to what he SAYS is not hell but no one is frankly CONVINCED, by the way—and he hasn’t decided what to do with Constantine yet besides getting Danny into some r rated horror movies, but figures he should tell the dude probably.

“What’d you even trade for some of his soul contracts?”

“Don’t worry about it”

They worry about it
