❝ there are no bargains between lion and men. i will kill you and eat you raw. ❞ shinobu @ douma

this is technically unprompted but we were also attacking each other with random quotes. always accepting. | @lightsmartyr

"Oh, oh! What an interesting scene you've provided for us! How truly wonderful. Do you fancy yourself the lion in this scenario? As one of the kings of the food chain, let me provide you a prop to set the stage and acclimate to your role."

So be the lackadaisical rise from his cross-legged seat 'pon the floor. Clawed nails draw tears into the tatami mat below him while he bends at the waist to procure his targeted object. Slow, so utterly and impassively slow; his nails rips through fabric to cut the silence in the air until finally the knuckle of his index finger brushes against what he was aiming for. A ceremonial crown with hanging ornaments to dignify the commemorated position of leader in Eternal Paradise. He will pass on this mantle to her, if only temporarily, hulking stature straightening once brought into his hands as he moves toward Shinobu. He places it, then, upon her pretty little head, and admires the handiwork he'd played a part in ━ the juxtaposition of the blood that crown represents; the brutality that being a lion entailed, while she remained a lost butterfly who had lost herself in his garden. His eyes widen with a falsified delirium, saccharine simper curling at its edges as hands now find comfort resting on her shoulders.

He pulls her closer as if to further instigate her rage. Even now, her righteousness served her no purpose whatsoever in moving forward in any significant matter. How truly pitiful.

"Go on then! Rip me apart tooth and nail with the ferocity and carnage that is inherent to lions. You can manage that much right? Us kin of man are so feeble and weak to such apex predators of the wild! 'We' will say such ridiculous things in the face of danger, blinded by our heroism and need for revenge when the cycle of death persists regardless of our attempts to save a meaningless life! But truthfully, I think you are too kind to suit the role of this 'lion'. Would killing me now bring you elation? Think hard about this answer, for the tides of human emotion are but a temporary sham of short-term reward."

We sadly know little to nothing about Douma's Eternal Paradies faith cult. Only a few things are known from the databook. How is He able to lead a cult as demon and No one suspects anything? What are His teachings and how does He do it? What is His usual Routine as cult Leader? Many questions are left open, i can't say how it is in Canon. So i do a Mix between headcanon and Canon facts how it is in My AU. Red means Canon based, everything except red is based on the story of the AU.

The Eternal Paradies faith cult🪷❄️

Cult Founding⛰️: Douma's Temple Had been there before He was even Born, it is Most likely that his parents have build this Temple years ago before His Birth. They Made Up a new religion, saying a savior of humanity will be Born one day and they serve as ”Deputy of their savoir”. Desperate and poor people Believed Them and gave them all their Money which was paid Off for their Money debt on building this Temple. Words have been spread and more people joined Them and gave them their Money. When Douma was Born with his Strange yet beautiful features it was the perfect opportunity for them! Even his Parents now Believed in their Religion and saw Douma as God and Not as son.

Teachings🛐: Doma's attire and Eternal Paradise Faith is an inspiration to Dzogchen Atiyoga, a tradition of teachings within the Karma Kagyu, a transmitting lineage and practice in Tibetan Buddhism. Douma teachings are simple, to live a peaceful and joyful Life! Nobody has to do anything they find difficult or painful. This may be related to His nihilistic worldview. ”Nothing Matters so why should you do Something you find painful?” Each morning at 10 PM and at 6 PM in the evening He holds a worship where he teaches These Things to His followers, He May read a scroll or Improvised a speech himself. Nowdays ever since Ai was Born He May skips These worships to Take Care of her. During These Times someone else might take over in His Name. Like Botan Who is Most loyal to him. And If Botan is unable to do it (Readers Up to Date know what happened) it's Not so Bad either! There are still dozens of other Loyal Cultist Who would Love to Take over in Douma's absence!

Number of members👥: The Current Number of Eternal Paradies faith cultists are 250. Muzan forbids him from increasing the Numbers. but nowdays 2 years after their Victory Douma would Like to ask If he can Add more members to His cult. This does not include Ai and Inosuke! No Douma Likes to keep Them away from some of His more... obsessed followers, espacially Ai Who has inherit so much of His Features. He feels like they will Get obsessed over her like they did with him as child. He want's to prevent that, atleast for the time being. And Inosuke in the past was forced by other followers to Join a worship, in the end He almost Fell asleep in the middle of it. So Douma allowed Inosuke to not be part of These Times and Made that clear to His followers Not to force him again.

How he maintains his facade🩸: How can it be that People don't suspect Douma of any Terrible deeds despite cult followers keep "disappearing" after These so called ”ceremonys”? Even outside the cult people know He is a demon (Because of His territory He is known.) The answer is simple...His followers don't believe their "wrong Gossip"! For Them Douma is the Kind and benelovent Leader Who always listens to their Problems and gives them advices and Hope. He even donates Money to the needy so how can He be a Demon? In Addition He never ages which His follower see as holyness! And He hides the Kanji in His eye's. In the beginning time Inosuke used to try to convince His followers that He was a Demon, but No one believes him. Most of These cultists have been Here all their Life, Born Here, raised Here, and Bring new Life into this Temple. It goes on for Generations and No one bats a eye If people "Disappear". ”They have been ascended by Lord founder” they say. But Douma has one rule for His ceremony's and that is: ”No children are allowed.”

Cult Routine 🪷: Like mentioned before worshipping hours are at 10 PM and 6PM. Sometimes after 10 PM When He is Not too busy He decides to Open His counseling room for his "needy followers" Who have been Plagued by their Problems. Normally counseling hours are in the evening after 6PM. Even though it May become tiring and boring for him He still pulls through and listens. He realizes that many of His followers Problems are Selfish, asking about Money and Status Most of the time. When He is Not counseling and taking Care of "His Kids" He Sometimes helps around the Temple too. Having a nice Chat With his non obsessed followers, helping with some Chores (even when cultists say He should'nt Since He is the Founder), hell even hosting some Yoga Sessions from time to time for the elderly. Not because He is overly caring but because He seeks Entertainment. The Village down the Mountain which is the closest Thing there is to His cult is also very fond of him. Coming down every now and then to donate Money! Also all Part of mentaining His facade and also because of the way He was raised. Though other Times He Just completly abandones His duties and spends His day with Ai and Inosuke.

All in all i can say he is a very Spontaneous man, espacially because of Ai and Inosuke now. He Just Sometimes Sets His Priorities. This Cult still is no Heavenly place and If one should enter this Temple you should be cautious!🛐🩸

Heh. Ice Pillar Douma

[kyukicho]

@starjynx asked: "Douma-sama, have I told you that you've been looking extra handsome lately?" Daki was beaming at the higher ranked demon.

An audible gasp. Followed immediately by crystalline tears that shimmer off angelically colored eyes and pale skin. Douma reaches out a hand. Gently cradling a lock of hair that was flowing down her cheek.

"A miracle. To learn that the blind have now become able to see. Truly I wish I could see myself through your eyes. How beautiful it must be to witness for the first time. How awe inspiring. Who are you again?"

[sapphickocho]

We need more Douma being an unhinged yet kind of good father figure to Kanao? or am I going to have to do it all myself?

Akaza vc; I'm not your babygirl (for Douma)

semi unprompted ~ always accepting! | @ofsavior

"Akaza-dono! Oh, how you wound me so! What better bliss is there than to be branded a certified babygirl?" Jovial jokes of mirth drip from the timbre of his voice, pooling and dissipating with the underlying disinterest that lies behind rainbow hues. Douma plays the part of a fan dancer too well, for each toothy grin he bares is yet another practiced mannerism to stroke his own boredom. Despite this, he waves his hand dismissively, leaning forward to instigate his opposite further. "You must seek true elation somewhere. Does being called babygirl not please you? Or is it because it's me calling you that? And here I thought words of affirmation were your love language." His voice dips low, eyes narrowing before returning to his normal disposition. "Oh well! Back to the chalkboard it is."

[sunhated-a]

❝ Is it... this one, maybe? ❞ Among the infinite expanse of the castle library, a selected title is held out for the Lord. The ladder has long stop sufficing to reach those higher shelves, so Douma has taken to walking the ceiling instead. Yet, the more this search for THE BOOK drags on, the more he becomes convinced that the only reason Muzan-sama hasn't opted to climb a ladder and procure it himself... is that he doesn't really know which one he wants.

With each try to locate the one Master's research requires, a spiral of white gold tresses bounces like a spring on his wake. Douma squints over a particular title. A lavender claw taps the book's spine; the kanji on it has survived the test of time, but it is weathered and impossible to decipher. Not to mention coated in a thick layer of dust.

❝ Or... hm. I distinctly remember you saying the cover was dark red... Maybe this on— ah-❞ Oh. Oh no. ❝ ... achoo! " ❞

The demon's sneeze echoes in the cavernous chamber; and from it a thick cloud of frost spreads around the room. Its flakes sprinkle on the floor like crumbling fireworks, except... something has been born from it! Not one, not two— but three little ice mikos that come somersaulting down onto the floor! Uh oh! Those little rascals are running all over the place, climbing on the shelves and hiding behind the infinite collection of books! What mischief will they make?

❝ — oops! So sorry about that, Master! I'll round them up right away, I promise! ❞

" No. Not that one."

Initially, Muzan had been content with just watching his subordinate work. It would seem that Upper Two had not taken into account the specificity of Muzan's request. ---A common mistake among the ranks it would seem. They were all too willing to please him and earn his favor, so much so that they would forget how steep his expectations were. Oh, but the rewards were tantalizing enough. He was an exacting master, but he was a fair one.

What should have taken a few minutes had managed to stretch out to an hour at the very least, and Muzan had long grown impatient. With a sharp sigh of indignation, he uncrosses his arms and begins to help with the endeavor. Truthfully, the book itself was not important... but the very fact that it'd been so elusive began to bother him quite deeply.

"Yes. It has a red cover and golden lettering. I am certain that the binding has become worn with-"

He'd found it, how fortuitous. Muzan was most pleased. He faces away from his own pile of books to thank Douma, only to be hit square in the face by a wave of cold air. The demon king grimaced and immediately wiped off the rime from his face, revealing a heated glare that could melt glaciers with the amount of wrath put behind it (and accentuated by shade of red that dusted his cheeks ). " Douma! What do you think you are doing?!"

As unforgivable as that little stunt had been, the heavy shuffle of footsteps had not gone unnoticed. Douma's ice mikos ran rampant across his library, making a mess of his books and his rare specimens.

"Call them off this INSTANT!"
