hi amaya! for your 2k event what about soulmate AU with the demon brothers where their soulmate is supposed to be branded with their mark and reader generally always covers up to hide the mark at the back of their neck but the brother accidentally walks in while they're changing and sees the mark?

(congrats on 2k and thank you if you accept!)

EVENT MASTERLIST ABOUT THE EVENT

Notes: this one took a little longer than expected since well it is 7 characters. but it was so fun to write! also sorry for the length

Warnings: soulmate au, general demon themes

Characters involved: Lucifer, Mammon, Leviathan, Satan, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Belphegor

Gender-neutral reader, you/yours

Lucifer

Possibly the most offended.

Lucifer's pride just won't allow him to accept the fact that his soulmate, the one person who's supposed to be by his side for all eternity, would want to hide from him.

At first, he doesn't say anything and simply leaves the room because he doesn't want emotion to influence his words and cloud his judgement.

Once he's calmed down Lucifer summons you to his office and confronts you about it.

"I want to see your mark, darling. No, not the pact mark, the one you've been hiding from me."

Is the most likely to get yandere-esque and become more protective of you once he finds out you're his soulmate.

But Lucifer can be more understanding than you think, and as long as you give him a concrete reason for your decision to hide from him, he won't force anything on you.

That is, of course, if he finds your answer satisfactory.

Mammon

The least calm of them all.

Mammon's the literal opposite of Lucifer and lacks all the composure his older brother portrays.

In fact, he doesn't even realise he's across the room and already tracing the mark with his finger until it's too late and you're pulling away in surprise.

He's quick to confront you and ask why you hid your mark from him knowing that it was his. If you seem guilty/just don't talk then Mammon just walks away and doesn't really bother confronting you; having presumed you simply don't want to be with him.

But if you actually do reply, he's willing to talk it out and genuinely listens to you. Mammon really just wants to understand you at this moment.

He's not the impatient kind. Mammon's willing to wait for you to come to him. But be ready for you to be labelled as the great Mammon's soulmate for as long as you live.

"Oi, human, you best remember you're the Great Mammon's now! Mine and mine alone."

Leviathan

Leviathan just sort of panics and blames himself.

"Of course you're ashamed to be the soulmate of an annoying otaku like me."

To him, there is no other possible reason for your decision to hide your mark from him, which is why he chooses to isolate himself and hide away.

If you really want to talk to him then you're going to have to put in a lot of effort, maybe even force Mammon to break down his door.

Once Levi actually understands your reasons for hiding the mark, he's still sort of hostile but weirdly protective.

He often finds himself curling his tail around you or tugging on your hand in a crowded room when he feels threatened by your interactions with another.

Unlike Mammon he isn't trying to show the world you're his, he simply just wants to reassure himself that you're his soulmate and the others can't steal you from him.

Satan

Satan's actually more shocked than anything else.

He never thought he would actually have a soulmate since he isn't a normal demon per se. And Satan was always fine with that because he finds that he quite enjoys the freedom of not being bound to someone forever.

But this all changes once he sees your mark.

Just like Lucifer, he's quick to sneak away before you can spot him, but it's more because he wants to clear his head rather than calm himself.

Satan genuinely takes some time to think everything through and doesn't confront you until a few days later when you're sitting with him in the library.

"I know you're my soulmate. Don't run- I'm not going to go feral or anything. I simply want to talk."

This situation is as peculiar to him as it is to you, and he agrees to take things slow or even remain the same as you are until both of you are comfortable enough to acknowledge each other as soulmates.

He doesn't even tell a lot of people, only choosing to inform his brothers and the other upper demons.

To Satan, the idea of having a soulmate is as surprising as it is jarring. He doesn't like being out of control of such a large aspect of his life, but he's also glad that it's you.

Asmodeus

The only one who's actually scared.

Hear me out, I know a lot of people would presume Asmo would be very cocky and say things like you should be honoured to be mated to the most beautiful demon, but all that comes later.

His initial reaction is more terrified than condescending because the idea of having a soulmate and being with one person for all eternity sounds crazy to the avatar of lust.

He's so shocked that he doesn't even realise he's been caught until a loud call of his name snaps him back to reality.

You'll have to sit down and have a sincere talk with him, trying to reassure him that you don't expect Asmo to abandon his personality for you.

In a way that's why you've been hiding the mark in the first place because you don't want to force him into such a commitment.

"Listen, I- you're amazing and I'm glad it's you, but I'm just not ready for the soulmate kind of commitment."

Your situation is similar to Satan's in which you both agree to acknowledge each other as soulmates but not actually dedicate yourselves to the other yet.

Something like an open relationship except you're not exactly in a relationship yet.

You know that one day you and Asmo are going to end up together, and that's good enough for both of you.

Asmo's just glad that he was fated to be with someone who understands him as well as you do.

He's also the only one who would be fine with you being in another relationship even if you're his soulmate Would he be jealous? Maybe. But Asmo isn't hypocritical enough to ask for commitment if he can't give it.

Beelzebub

Beel's probably the only one who reacts in a 'normal' way.

He wants to know why you chose to hide your mark, but he can be more understanding than you think and is willing to wait for you.

However, he makes it clear that he wants you. Beel is glad that you're his soulmate and he's happy to spend the rest of his life with you, in fact, he's dreamed of spending his life with you and Belphie in a house together.

He won't force his dreams on you, and understands that being one's soulmate is a lot to commit to. But Beel wants you to know how he feels so that he can reassure you.

Expect him to be a lot nicer to you after that. Beel isn't trying to be overbearing but he just naturally has a tendency to look after those who are important to him.

He doesn't really tell anyone you're his soulmate, Belphie obviously, but except for that Beel just waits for you to say it.

He'd also be fine with you being in a relationship with someone else but unlike Asmo, Beel would actually be affected by it. He just doesn't want to be controlling which is why he doesn't do anything.

"I will wait for you, however long it takes. But just know that I am yours and you can always come to me."

Belphegor

Belphie honestly just doesn't know how to react.

Takes a moment to actually contemplate whether or not he's dreaming before he decides to confront you.

He's more similar to Lucifer in that he feels sort of offended that you decided to hide your mark, but Belphie is far more confrontational.

This is because he's secretly insecure and thinks that you're ashamed to have him as a soulmate or simply didn't want to end up with him.

Once you both talk things through and he realises your reservations are more towards the fact that you have to be bound to someone for your entire life rather than the person you're bound to, Belphie is a lot more mature than most of his siblings.

He definitely gets more physically comfortable with you and might guilt trip you into cuddles or sleeping together (literally) but except for that, he doesn't really change much.

But he does make it very clear that your arrangement is only in place so long as you aren't in a relationship with anyone.

Basically, he's fine with you not wanting to be in a relationship/commit so long as you don't go committing to someone else.

Unlike his twin, Belphegor also isn't shy to make sure you don't end up with anyone but him.

"I might be willing to play the long game, doll, but that is only as long you play nice."

Can and will go Yandere on you because he's far more unhinged and imposing than the rest of his brothers. And unlike Lucifer (who is the only other one who could possibly end up like this) Belphie doesn't really care about reputation or duties.

Music ask game!! :D How about 2, 6 and the fancam song for Liifa?

AND THE FANCAM... <- i find this so so funny because he is SO demisexual. it would so not be his thing !! but by god he's pretty so you're damn right it'd happen to him !!

(hey! funny story! I got so excited about this ask that i'd filled out most of it by the time i remembered you sent. specific numbers. so uh,, woe !! bonus content be upon ye !! also im so sorry that this turned into a LITERAL ESSAY !! do not worry about reading all of it if you don't want to / feel up to it !!)

As per usual, all spotify links! ♥

[Readmore because - well. I said it was an essay for a reason. :'D Sorry !! feel free to only read the ones you requested if you'd like !!]

Backstory: Top of the World by Greek Fire

I remember the days, New beginnings on an open page. With something to prove, And nothing to lose, Not a soul to betray.

Ohh how we look back on the past with rose-colored glasses :') This song both describes his backstory in a fun way, and describes his perspective on his own past! He's born underground like the vast majority of asura during his time, and ends up having to surface after Primordus wakes up. He ends up in the Crystal Desert with his older half-sister Rylii, and they're taken in by the Sunspears once they're deemed not a threat and such. They have a good couple of years until;

I remember the lies, Caught up in building paradise. The angels were slaves, and demons behaved, And everything was alright.

boy got TRICKED into tying himself to the Binding - (in my hc, a book of Abaddon's that contains his worst-behaved demons! like, he dropped all these kids off at preschool and just never came back for them lol) - under the idea that he could somehow purify the book itself, therefore turning an artifact of Abaddon's into a powerful one of Kormir's. Needless to say, maybe not ever gonna happen!! (... maybe.)

I hear the crowds beneath me, I'm wishing they could reach me. But I'm on top of the world, Up here I'm dying alone.

it leads PERFECTLY into the majority of his backstory!! Lonely, aimless wandering!! It also highlights the little facade he picks up over the years:

Inside the walls of gold, Outside of happiness, (It's all been a show, Too late to confess!) No room for heart and soul, No room for innocence, Innocence!

He gets so lonely that he starts to get really jaded and closed-off from anyone and everyone that he meets. There's a sense of when you live so long, what use is it to connect? <- Words spoken seconds (decades) before disaster. (meeting Eliana)

Personality: Liar by The Arcadian Wild

I sense there's trouble ahead, It's clear by the signs and warnings, That should tell where all blame is due. So why are they pointing at my head?

There's a long stretch of time where he's very flippant about what he's doing and who it's affecting. Typically, if a situation turns against him, he'd just... remove himself from the area and wait it out.

Oh, I need you to see through my act, To tell me I'm wrong, To take off the mask. Or else I'll be left in the lie, And I'll deceive my way straight to demise.

That said, he knows that he's just lying his ass off most of the time - playing a part, setting the pieces, whatever he needs to do that'll get him in the door for whatever he's attempting now. He gets bored, living so long and being on his own so much, he's not above playing little scams and such to give himself some kind of stimulation as the years drag on for him.

I am the host of this hostility, I'm the master magician that makes you believe. I'm real, I'm not fake, but in reality, I'm a lying man. My life's become this grand game of deception, My mind's ignored all my heart's good intentions. We all feel this tension, We all have our own illusions.

And even as he realizes that what he's done is wrong, he still keeps that degree of separation - that denial that he's wrong - how could he be, when others have done worse? He's determined to be good, so much so that he's justified his own boredom-induced heists by simply internalizing that someone's always done something way worse. Which... isn't how it works! But he'll get there, eventually.

'Cause I'm not in a right state of mind, I just wish I had strength to admit it. My stubbornness will put up a fight, But I don't deserve to win it. I'm left in the dark pondering my mistakes, But in the light, I swear I will, Deny it all.

The chorus in here hits though, because it offers that self-awareness of "yes, this is wrong, and I know it's wrong! But even if you force me to face it, and I know that you're right, I'm going to deny it. It can't be true, that isn't who I am at heart." It's okay, Eliana can fix him later kahsdsuh

Angst: Suffocate by Nathan Wagner

The problem ain't "they're never good," The problem is power, It taints the mind.

hi !! Liifa thoughts hour !! After picking up the Binding, and being stuck with it for the last two centuries, this thought process for him is constant !! ♥ As time goes on, he starts to recognize the ways that the Binding (and primarily Ipos within it) has been influencing his thoughts and perceptions, and he Does Not Like It !! He's so so determined to be good despite all of his bad decisions and numerous setbacks and it's such a reoccurring theme throughout his entire playlist !! his determination to be good is integral to his character !!

Hold on to me, Don't give up on me. If I start to sink, Would you reach for me? I get so afraid, break down, Suffocate. Would you help me breathe? Help me breathe.

This hits harder later on in the timeline; when he has Eliana to travel with! If there's one thing that would immediately entice him over the 'edge' and into corruption, it would be someone he loves being in possibly-fatal danger. Dude is liable to literally lose his entire mind and moral compass in those scenarios!

Don't wanna hurt the ones I love, Don't wanna let everyone down. I try so hard but I slip up, Lose my grip, fall on the ground. The problem ain't "they're never good," The problem's power taints the mind. Don't let this heart turn into stone, Don't let these lights burn me alive.

this part makes me FERAL because !! During the GW2 timeline is when he starts to recognize just how jaded and cold he's become over the decades, and he hates it once he sees it. I also like to believe that - since he's been tied to the Binding - anything of Kormir's (such as the fire in the Sunspear Sanctuary) has the potential it 'burn' him if he gets too close! And I don't mean "you're obviously too close to the campfire" kind of close. More like he's fifteen feet away and still feels like he's standing directly in the fire.

Don't let me suffocate in luxury.

I just think that it's so so fun how... traditionally, demons tempt you by giving you unimaginable power, wealth, anything that you could ever want. And Liifa doesn't want any of that, he just desperately wants a calm life spent with the people he loves.

Comfort: I'll Be Good by Jaymes Young

I thought I saw the devil, this morning. Looking in the mirror, Drop of rum on my tongue, With the warning to help me see myself clearer.

This has !! entirely to do !! with him realizing how jaded and cold he's become, and actively making the decision to move away from that !! He wants to be softer. He wants to have friends. He deeply misses having people that he can rely on and feel safe with; he's so tired of feeling like it's himself against the world.

My past has tasted bitter, For years now, So I wield an iron fist. "Grace is just weakness," Or so I've been told. I've been cold, I've been merciless. But the blood on my hands, Scares me to death. Maybe I'm waking up, today.

I've always debated if there's a specific moment that makes him realize what he's turned into - and now I'm actually thinking !! The Genetics Facility Massacre could be it !! It's perfectly in between two of the times that he meets Eliana before they become properly acquainted, so there's already the thought floating around in his head of this sweet little sylvari he's met, and how kind she seems in a world so cruel - and it hits him. He's part of that cruelty. He's done assassinations, he's killed indiscriminately, he commits crimes so regularly that he doesn't even think about it anymore.

For all of the light that I shut out, For all of the innocent things that I doubt, For all of the bruises I've caused, and the tears, For all of the things that I've done, All these years. For all of the sparks that I stomped out, For all of the perfect things that I doubt,

I'll be good, I'll be good. And I'll love the world, like I should. Yeah, I'll be good, I'll be good, For all of the times, I never could.

and the REPITITION of "I'll be good, I'll be good," just continues to hammer home his determination !! to be good !! Despite his habits, despite his past, despite the things that he's done and said - he wants to be good. If not for himself, then for his half-sister. For the memory of his mothers, and his twin. For the kind people that he's met during his troubles. For everything that he so passionately stood for when he was younger; For the Sunspears.

I'll Be Good has been so so integral to his playlist ever since I started writing him and put it on there. you REALLY cannot know Liifa if you haven't listened to this song while rotating him in ur brain at least once.

Love Life: The Fall by half•alive

Oh, I'm just tryna introduce you, To this idea that I've grown used to. It's like sharing a dream with someone, Once you say it out loud it can't be undone.

he is AFRAID !! He's lived for god-damn-ever and yet he's still so anxious and hesitant any time he develops romantic feelings for someone!!

It's like waking up in surgery, I can't seem to see right past the lights, And I'm, so scared to take a knife to my chest, Let you see the heart that's inside.

He just wants to hide! Every time! He wants to hide but he's also so so glued to their side at the same time. The Fall holds a special place in my heart in relation to Liifa's love life because it always makes me think of how he, Ambrose, and Eliana all get together in my AU's with @forbiddenredjollyrancher ♥ !!

I'd jump off and into your arms, But I can't trust the fall. Take my voice, I'm giving it though I don't feel safe at all.

^ I wanna point out this part too! It's not that he's afraid of them, but more specifically how things could 'turn' in the future. He's already had one relationship (with Bjiattu) that turned sour once he felt content, and he's very much the type of person who gets nervous that things could turn sour again once he's comfortable and feels safely at home.

Luckily for him though, this little polycule is very, very cozy, comfortable, and permanent !! ♥ They also eventually add more to their lil polycule: Prism, Zayvis, Liott, and Haskell! Liott & Haskell both belong to Tres as well! There's also some 'branches,' but that's the central polycule at least! ^^ And yes, Liifa has this same fearful and anxious reaction to every new polycule member. Dude needs to be diagnosed with anxiety, ngl.

Fight Scene: Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace

Liifa typically avoids physical confrontations if he can help it. But, when the need does arise, he tends to go... a little overboard. Courtesy of Ipos inhibiting his impulse control! :) They adore carnage and would like for Liifa to murder more kajhdsk

So what if you can see, The darkest side of me? No one will ever change this animal I have become.

^ this part of the chorus is perfect for his jaded years !! Just the "so what" says so much already!

Help me believe, It's not the real me. Somebody help me tame this animal.

^ and THIS part is great for more recent years! He's sick of it, he's tired, he wants to be soft and cozy and not have to deal with Ipos encouraging his worse impulses and pushing him to blindly murder people (again). There it is! Again! His determination to be good despite his setbacks!!

FanCam: Cherry Hill by Russ

It honestly took me a while to find a good song for this for him !! idk, it's got a vibe and the chorus hits for him in relation to ... well, literally anyone he's ever been in love with, lmao

Maybe I'm a fool, Maybe I'm a fool for you. You know what I'd do for you, I know what you'd do for me. You will see, The truth in me.

hopeless romantic of the CENTURY /positive

also, this isn't important but every time that I've tried to picture a fancam for him to figure what vibes I wanted the song for it to have,, without fail there'd be a part of him readjusting his hair, I'm certain of it. He's so vain and prideful in his appearance, his hair has GOT to be hella soft and it shows.

#SORRY ABOUT. THE FUCKING ESSAY LENGTH. I HOPE YOU ENJOY WHATEVER PARTS OF THIS YOU DO READ <3 <3 <3 #thank you so much for the ask !! <3 #c:Liifa #song stuff #<3*

Umineko EP5. Part 1

Props to Battler for finally trying to understand her, but reminding the person who gave up on everything due to not seeing room for understanding that you do, in fact, not understand her is a choice Battler.

Bernkastel and Lambda are not really wrong here, per se. This game, while having Sayo with differing main motivations than other times, does in fact provide a lot of hints. But also promising to understand someone and then being like "we will give you training wheels" by a third party does seem pretty bad.

Again though, she literally does in fact do that despite the framing as if she's just saying this to mock Battler.

Yeah, this is the best way to describe it, the murderer and the rules are the same but the *motivations* behind it are a bit messed up, still I think showing you someone else's interpretation of Sayo's trauma does help in getting a full picture of her...

The contrast between episode 4 ending with Battler going about how he's gonna kill her she's evil die etc to a guilt-ridden Battler trying really hard to understand her is quite interesting.... one big push made him give up on understanding her and another big push put his mind into understanding her. To be fair, the ending of EP4 was a huge degradation of his character. He was gradually being pushed into this direction, otherwise.

I am sure one person who realized they were never in the same room with Battler before this had a heart attack during this scene.

Hiiiiiii!

Natsuhi is about the only person in the world who would be legitimately weeping at Kinzo dying, it's kind of insane how much of a tryhard she is at keeping her Kinzo headcannons in order to not hate him. It's kind of funny Nanjo says like 3 times Kinzo held no regrets.... seems at first he is just saying that but it is quite true.

Narsuhi's magic doesn't stop at Kinzo, either, she has a whole writing of Krauss and this strong, silently brooding man destroyed by his father's death deep down when he is in fact thinking about how tf to not lose his dad's wealth rn.

lol

Natsuhi is a lot smarter and more competent than Krauss but Natsuhi feels emmasculated and ridiculed by this so he would rather trust a man scamming him than the woman he married. Natsuhi, despite being constantly discarded and lied to and treated as lesser writes headcanons where she is her husband's only ally and he really appreciates her help and respects her secretly even if he fucks up. He will still lie to her about the gold for a couple extra years after she saves his ass here btw.

god man this scene hits so differently now. I was Natsuhi during an abusive relationship during the time crypto and scams were becoming popular. I was the person begging someone to not use the last of their money on moon tourism and getting mistreated in result.

A very heartbreaking thing in both this scene and the one where Rosa reveals her thoughts about her husband leaving her is that Natsuhi and Rosa decide they are both fundamentally at fault for the errors of the men in their lives. They struggle with men being the ones at fault because they were always taught women were the issue.

Even after revealing to Natsuhi they might lose the literal place where she lives, he refuses to give all the information to her, fuck you Krauss.

Natsuhi is letting him off as something he couldn't have predicted but he literally could. He knew Kinzo was dying. Man is old.

Natsuhi I think it's more productive if you take these thoughts of self-blame and put them into murdering Krauss.

"Had become" as opposed to choosing to.... can't bury your true thoughts that deep I guess. Also stop demonizing yourself, does are completely fair thoughts not dark at all!

this kind of would have actually worked, which is funny with how desperate he is being. I mean, it might get complicated with Sayo, but.

I don't remember if it was Beatrice or who that said Natsuhi had no propensity for magic but they were so very wrong. Natsuhi is the Witch of Rebirth, a witch who can change someone's soul into whatever form she desires (in her head).

Natsuhi can't admit that Kinzo and Krauss are bad husbands because that would make her a bad wife.... Kinzo can, though.

Again, Natsuhi is very attuned to magic.... I might be delusional but I think Sayo and Natsuhi could have gotten along, if things were different.

It's interesting how fantasy Kinzo has said this for both Natsuhi and Kyrie. I don't think Kyrie is as desperate to be acknowledged for her efforts as Natsuhi is, but, it does show a certain discomfort about how the men in their lives control them, I think.

I can't help at magic being used this shamelessly, lol. Genji probably went to consult with Sayo right away about this lol. Kumasawa and Nanjo probably feel conflicted enough about Kinzo to just take the money without much guilt.

This scene shows us Kanon and Shannon were told I guess, Natsuhi doesn't really like them so I guess she just felt obligated to do that, though. With them being one winged servants and all.

It is kind of sad that it sees that Kinzo's wife only really exists in Natsuhi's world.... because she can relate to her. And with all the info we have, relating to her isn't exactly a sign of happiness.

.....well. You sure did know her when Beatrice was young but not vice versa I guess.

This is an answer arc, as you can tell by the game handing you answers. Thanks Lambdadelta for magic 101! You can tell killing Beatrice has made Battler do his homework, too. He's come a long way between episodes.

Battler is kind of smugly going "Heh, your easy mystery gave me answers" and it's like.... yes. That's what she is trying to do in fact Battler! It's really obvious in reply that it's really just Bern, not Lambda, that fucking hates Beato.

Lambda's not really wrong here, even if she's coming more from the angle that "anything fictional is a waste of time", which is wrong obviously.

....And the one pointing out this way of fighting is hurting Beato is Lambdadelta, again. It's really obvious she is partial to Beatrice, in her own way.

"Kumasawa, you really are quite an actress. All that panic in the corridor made it seem like Father really was there." Again, this is an answer arc. Where else has Kumasawa shown weird, overreacting terror?

i don't know when i'll be able to finish this but :'D a small claire & sirius wip...

Ashe paused. “...He’s limping.”

[...]

“Should someone go talk to him? He… seems pretty upset.”

Even with her back to them, Claire immediately felt the other two’s eyes land on her.

“Ah, Miss Claire, would you terribly mind?” Ashe suddenly pipes up. Claire exasperatedly spins around to look at him and check if he’s just teasing her for being so worried. He couldn’t be serious about this, could he?

“Me?”

“You’re very empathetic!” Ashe insists, smiling all the while. Nerves still snuck into the down-turned corners of his mouth. Not so encouraging! Claire couldn’t blame him, though. Honestly, after that outburst directed at him, she didn’t know how he wasn’t more affected; she was just a bystander and she felt chills when Sirius finally snapped at them. “Besides, he doesn’t take well to my… thrilling recounts. If I trailed after him, he may just whack me over the head.”

With his soft laugh, Claire knows she should mirror it, but she instead uncertainly picks at the edges of her gloves. Put like that, it definitely made sense that she had the best chance out of the three of them. The instigator was Ashe, even if it was unintentional—and maybe even Wilardo would be blamed, considering his general nonchalance toward the whole ordeal. But, “Ashe, I don’t think he likes me either.”

“Don’t think he likes anyone very much.” Wilardo leans back and casually folds his arms. “No harm in giving him time to wind down though. Think the injury’s nothing new.”

[Claire panics a bit, generally worrying over “Oh, no—did one of the demons hurt him? Why didn’t he tell us? Or was it one of the past visitors? Is that why he didn’t want us here?” So on...] “And he’s been hiding it?”

“...Nah. He’s not in danger.” Wilardo pushes himself up from the chair and glances between them. “He just forgot his cane, right?”

"Sirius?" Claire knocks, echoing a familiar pattern. With no response, she just had to peek herself; she nudges open the door and carefully steps inside. At the center table, Sirius sits with amulets laid across the surface. He seems to be referencing a larger diagram as he continues scribbling more down. Admittedly, she wonders how he didn't break his quill writing these things out so quickly.

Sirius only slowed his pace when she stood across from him, idly messing with her gloves as she tried to gauge when she could talk. Without any greeting—he draws a long sigh, wryly glances up, and says: "Really, Claire, I don't feel like entertaining you right now. Begone."

…Irritable as ever, huh? At least in this case, she could maybe understand why and figure out how to approach it. Ashe really was pressuring the subject from last night to this morning.

"I just wanted to make sure you're alright."

He scoffs. "Ha. Perfectly chipper."

"I-I really am sorry I didn't tell Ashe to cut it out, when you started getting uncomfortable."

"And yet you won't cut it now when I deem you an irritant…"

"But, it's not just that! I also wanted to make sure you weren't hurt."

"Eh?" Sirius completely stops and finally looks at her properly. Incredulity written on his face. "Of all things? Why?"

"Wilardo noticed you usually use your cane, but you didn't bring it this time. And since you were limping, I… was worried," she softly says. All she could do was nervously bounce in place as Sirius scrutinizes her, clearly doubting the sincerity of her statement. Before he can kick her out, she adds on: "Can I do anything to help?"

"Leave," Sirius mutters, his eyes shifting back toward the papyrus laid out before him. He seemed to intent on doing anything and everything but acknowledge her.

[...]

"Sirius, believe it or not, I know how it feels. Whether it's as small as a scrape or as big as a fracture. Or even infections, whether they’re superficial or from things you just can’t eat!"

Sirius scoffs, and mutters lowly: "Hmph. Eating wild mushrooms, as per usual…"

As per usual? She wasn’t that dumb—she’s kept track of how to actually forage for years now! Claire puffs out her cheeks and shot him a miffed look. Surprisingly, he actually took note of it and dismissed it with a wave of the hand almost… sheepishly? A bit put-out, he rests his head on the back of his hand and continues picking through the parchment. Taking the opportunity, she goes on:

"I know how awful it is dealing with this, especially alone. But! While we're here, you don't have to stew in the misery all by yourself."

"Ah, yes, I'll be miserable because of you instead."

Gah! Just as she thought she was getting through, too! How stubborn is this guy?

"My point is: I know how to help with these things! So tell me what's wrong. Please, I promise I can help."

Whatever snide comment he was about to make, he bit back just as suddenly. That was a first, although Claire is hesitant to claim this as progress. Even if his expression softens, there is still doubt in his eyes.

"...You can't do anything, Claire."

Frustration knits into his words, but for the first time it didn't feel targeted towards her.

"Lady Dorothy, she…"

That witch hurt him?

"...she tried to help. She couldn't. You can't."

Sirius finally, quietly grasped the words. Just as quickly, uneasy silence fell upon them again. Claire felt her heart drop, every other assumption dissolving into a pit of shame. Even if she didn’t know what their relationship was at all, why or how this Dorothy got close to him, of course Sirius only saw one side when he was trapped here. No wonder he was so adamant…

"Oh." Claire tightly folds her hands together. "I'm sorry."

He levies a weary glance, his eyes dull in the low light. Somehow, he manages to reclaim his pompous act in the midst of it. Like he’s trying to pretend there never was a waver to his voice. "Don't bother yourself with it. Really, Claire, your bleeding heart will be the death of you."

"Is it wrong to want to help?" Maybe, just maybe, she shouldn't be asking this to someone who doesn’t—and maybe can’t, depending on what Dorothy did—trust any strangers in the mansion. But, still, she had to try to get through to him if they could ever get out. "Even Ashe and Wilardo were worried when you stormed off, they just didn't know how to say it. And—and even I'm not the most eloquent, I know that, but…"

Sirius sighs. With a tinge of gentleness to his words, he finally says: "I was so annoyed with Ashe's early wake-up call, hovering over my bed like a deranged bat, that I forgot my cane. That's all. You're all ridiculous."

"We care."

"You're strangers," he indignantly cuts in, "Trespassers, at that!"

"I'm just really happy it's nothing serious."

Sirius falters. "Yes, yes."

@heartinhands : ❛ you're managing this so much better than i ever could. ❜ ( dante and cam )

Devil May Cry isn't a place Cam frequents. She leaves messages there every so often for work, or to pass on information from a mutual contact, but devil hunting isn't a profession without competition. A half-demon hunter has a leg-up on every human around -- Why on earth would she help give him a boost otherwise? At least, for the past twenty years why would she have?

Now is a little different. Living itself is different. So if she wants to get away from her place and go somewhere, well, not quiet per se, but comfortable in a different way, who could blame her? She may have beaten Dante to opening, standing out in the morning chill with her face tucked into her sweater and coat / May have commandeered both his coffee pot and the only client chair without duct tape holding the seat together. It's not like he can really complain. Cam's only asked him if he wants coffee too. Otherwise she's silent. Sipping at a steaming mug as she glances idly between the city street outside the nearest window and whichever beaten paperback she brought in her coat pocket.

It's not surprising that on a quiet morning like this, no walk-ins or emergencies, he'd broach the subject. They've hardly spoken without another party present. The kid or Vergil, usually, but on a lucky day Lady might've been there, too. Cam wishes it was her saying it now. Not because Dante's done anything wrong. Things are just harder. Hurts don't heal just because you're given a miracle. Both of them might know that too well.

"Thanks," Cam says flatly, not even glancing up from her book. Then she groans. Shuts it to give him an indecipherable look. "Wait, which--?" Again, the kid or Vergil? Nero. She's still getting used to it. Nero Nero Nero. Sometimes it hurts to see her own reflection. Cam tries not to grimace, a bit of her reality, her heart seeping into her voice. The sound goes just a little thick / She's still not used to talking about everything. It's hard to get a grasp on it. "I don't think I'd call coming here alone managing much of anything."

OWN. OWN. OWN. OWN say the bourgeois. IF YOU OWN (Naval Gaze) YOUR BELLYBUTTON. This is what i'm saying about people like Boi and Bruce and Musk being systemic

Bruce is very proud of his shadow account where he 'owns' that he is wrestling with his homoerotic 'demons'. He and Boi share a love of posable Gods and Goddesses all while spitting all over Christ. Bruce never shuts up about how many God or Goddess and he's way way better at it than Boi cuz he knows all the Hindu ones, all the obscure ones from films, really just a fuckton. The difference is Bruce truly is a closet case Christlover, so it's a Christ denier online who worships Christ in the closet and a Christian is far better at playing with the pantheon of Gods than secular Boi. Alanis sez: isn't it ironic in powerquest, don't you think...

Both of them play with Gods like the clueless typical americans they are, trying to extract power, kind of like THIS GOD GIVES YOU THIS POWER. do i tell them i lived in these countries and they've got it all wrong? Do i tell them what it is really like there with those Gods and how they're a part of the actual culture and how the Gods and Goddesses actually rock and roll -- and not the American impression of those Gods? Bruce is closer to the truth than Boi, but Bruce still doesn't quite get it, since his mini-Trump cucks him into using the Gods to serve Trump's actual politics so often. Boi's mini-Trump just cucks him into thinking he's sucking out the fruit for self-serving purposes, which is a mini-Trump without as direct of a trough for the juice to spew back in service of the alpha aka Big Brother aka Big Bro aka Donald J. Trump.

'own my shit' like being a typical American is to them Something To Be and they're a natural at it -- which means being the opposite of nature per se and what's natural per se, as Americans know nothing of that.

it's just talking and thinking like a typical American is something that is so foreign to me and something I could never do.

a typical American is like Musk, saying Twitter is the most interesting place on the web. Then all the people akin to Musk cluelessly parrot 'i am using Twitter because it is so much more interesting...' just like the walking dead. it's interesting to them merely because wanting power is what interests them. to me it's not even as interesting as a $1 dictionary from St. Vinnie's or the Spanish book of cognates for $1. Twitter -- i'd flush it down the toilet if somebody gave me a handle on it, and i absolutely mean it. that's how 'interesting' it is to me.

the difference is Dorsey actually does 'own' it here but i think only because he is covering Musk's ass. Decepticons stick together. This is a ruse so that people blame Musk less and instead blame a cipher as far as company prospects go.

Game Continue! The Seven Lords: Rashōmon

Anonymous asked: Oh my god, I LOVED how you wrote an MC with Atsushis ability and was wondering if you could do an Akutagawa like MC? Or maybe a Dazai MC as I've always wondered how they'd handle someone like either of them considering there depth as characters and they were my absolute favorites. Aku deserved better-

(I swear I'm just inflating my ego at this point with copy and pasting this prompt, but I wanna give context lololololol)

The Mafia's Hellhound. (Part 2) (Obey Me! Younger Brothers x Akutagawa Ryūnosuke(BSD)-like! Gn! Mc/Reader)

(Part 3 will contain the Now Dateables and Luke(Platonic)!)

Content Warnings: Since this character is from the same series as Atsushi Nakajima, I'm gonna put the same first bit of warning here. Bungou Stray Dogs is a series that contains characters based on real life authors, with each individual character having an ability based on a book by their namesake author. There is also a character in the series who is Sui///cidal and it is somewhat treated more light-hearted than how it is usually treated in media, and though it is explained later as to why I don't recommend anyone who is put off or upset by that type of content to watch it. Akutagawa is not this character, but this character does have a heavy impact on him. To those who are interested in the original concept as a whole, I'd definitely recommend watching up to Episode 3 first since that is the first appearance of Aku in the anime. This will have light spoilers for Seasons 1-3 as well throughout, so if you do end up really liking the anime and don't want the slightest bit of spoilers you should finish it first. The majority of spoilers lie in Aku's overall personality, but if you've seen Bungou Stray Dogs: Wan! it is not too dissimilar. There will be mentions of blood, injury, and general violence, as well as spoilers for Chapter 16-20 of Obey Me. Don't blame me, blame Belphie. And again, there will be angst. Not just because angst is my chicken soup for the soul, but that this character is very angsty.

(Takes place in between the Cannibalism Arc and Kamui Revelation Arc, which I assume Wan! is also set in. I went with this specific version of Aku because it's where the anime has left off at, and I personally believe anime watchers are more widespread than manga readers most of the time. I'll be doing my best not to accidentally water down his personality though, as even at that point in the story Aku still has quite the inferiority complex, violent tendencies, and other such issues.)

(As per usual, the intro is in the first part which you can read here!)

⚝──⭒─⭑─⭒──⚝

Satan:

How peculiar you are for a human... You say you know nothing of magic and yet you possess the ability to create what seems to be a shadow beast of dark matter. An Ability? Hmm... Humans have become quite the intriguing specimens nowadays, such unique adaptations certainly have peaked his interest. Fancy talk and wannabe novelist dialogue from Satan out of the way, the only real interest the Avatar of Wrath takes in you is your ability and its properties. Unless he's busy with his own academic pursuits or setting up pranks to pull on Lucifer, before you form a pact with him it may be in your best interest to avoid him or not be caught alone without one of the brothers you do have a pact with there. 'Lest you become a sort of test subject. Of course you're welcome to fight against this position to your heart's content, but the more you avoid it the more he becomes interested in studying you. Seeing as the demon brothers are much stronger than you and your ability, it leaves you with little choice other than stealthily avoiding certain confrontations or begrudgingly submitting and going along with their plans.

Momentarily he reminds you of your mentor in the days that he does catch you in a position to pull you away for an hour or two. Not exactly for the way he treats you, since he hadn't outright attacked or beat you verbally or physically, but rather in his demands to push your limits for his own interests. Satan is much more preoccupied in analyzing just how strong in offense and defense your Ability is, either not noticing or just not caring when choking coughs rack your lungs and scarlet droplets coat your palm. Prior to a bit before the formation of the pact between you two, the Avatar of Wrath cares very little for you or your wellbeing. So, should you live or die, it didn't use to matter to him. All he desired before then was to satisfy his curiosities.

And now... the same demon who could really care less about you was tightly wrapped around your little finger. Oh well, that just makes for all the more teasing that his brothers can inflict on him when they're feeling particularly rowdy. Worried about them overusing Rashōmon and wearing themselves out, Satan? Didn't you just say last week that you couldn't care less about them and how you would never be so deeply involved with a human like the rest of us? Haha gottem!... Oh shit run run run

Rather than being mostly interested by your ability now, Satan finds a new interest in your life in the Human World instead. Sure, some of the questions do revolve around what you know about other individuals you've worked with or fought against and their own abilities,, but most of them are about your own personal experiences. He listens intently when you're finally comfortable enough with to speak about your childhood with him and your own version of hell that came from growing up in the Slums and becoming a high ranking member of the Port Mafia. You're about halfway through your explanation of your old mentor's effects on you when you notice he's been writing down all of this, hey wait a minute. Why does this paper say "Information Regarding Trauma for Therapist".... where are you running off to now Satan, I thought we were going to talk?

At times Satan has tried to encourage you to branch out a bit more in your fashion style, cause you look a bit too much like Luci, but one comment on his own fashion sense and he's lost the argument. Once you did decide to humor him somewhat and tried on a pair of his clothes, but he didn't exactly get the point you were trying to make an let you keep that set of clothing. He has enough green sweaters, weird belts, black undershirts, and unique blue jackets to share at least one full set with you. At most you might just wear the sweater under your overcoat or the blue jacket over a dress shirt, but he feels a fuzzy feeling whenever he see's you out and about wearing a piece of his clothes. Should one of the brothers see you in his apparel, especially if you're wearing the jacket in the same way Satan does all the time, at the end of the day you'll likely end up with a whole new wardrobe formed completely out of borrowed clothing from the brothers. Thank goodness Rashōmon isn't confined solely to your jacket and can be created out of any clothing item you're wearing.

Something about you that Satan can't help but relate to is your short temper and somewhat hot-headed nature despite being such a serious person. In the beginning your short fits of rage and pessimistic ideals are just a minor inconvenience and annoyance, but now that he's found respect and care for you he has a strong desire to help you manage your issues, similar to how his brothers had helped him control his sin. Satan's help alone isn't truly enough to truly begin to heal the wounds that have been so deeply engraved into your very being, that's what the therapist is for, but you find yourself growing more and more calm as the days go by now. Though you can still get angry or aggressive at times, there is a noticeable reduction in your more violent tendencies. Mammon does get a little grouchy with Satan for this, but it's more in the tsundere way. He's just jealous since Mams had been the one gradually helping you with your anger issues, so don't take his complaints too seriously.

Out of all the brothers, Satan is your best bet in terms of being your tutor. It takes a bit for him to properly adjust the speed of his teaching methods, but once he's gotten into the swing of things it's only up from there. In the beginning he can get a little easily frustrated by your lack of understanding in some subjects, but over time he does grow more patient with you. While you may frustrate him sometimes, he ensures that he doesn't take it out on you and opts instead to take a calming walk before returning back to the subject when it becomes too much for the both of you. Satan can also sense when you're getting upset or angry over time through the pact, so he'll make sure that you get optimal breaks in general and while studying.

When his brothers had proposed their little scheme to get you and Lucifer to bond a little with each other, it was the same day that the two of you were going to go out for dinner and attend a late night show at the Devil Planetarium as a reward for scoring quite high on one of your worst subjects. He had begrudgingly accepted, since the plan would be done soon enough and give you enough time to do everything the two of you had set up prior. Yet, as he and his brothers stumbled upon your body in a crumpled heap at the bottom of the stairs, Satan couldn't help but wish that he had said "no". Though he wanted nothing more to cast a healing spell that would seal up your wounds, one light brush against your frigid skin told him you were beyond saving. A broiling rage slowly began to fill his body upon watching your arm that he had once carefully cradled in his palms drop limply to the floor, one of such a heated intensity that it was about to boil over right before your corpse had suddenly dissipated and a second version of yourself appeared at the top of the stairs. Angry tears stung the corners of his eyes until he wiped them away, a sudden sense of relief dulling the wrath the had infested his brain. Truthfully he had mostly tuned out your speech regarding Lilith, favoring to let you speak your peace and pulling you away for one of your calming walks together. In the garden behind HOL is where he lets his emotions finally come flooding out, hot tears flowing behind the arm he raised to hide them as he apologized for not being there to protect you from harm. He cannot help but meld into your arms when you lift his arm away from his face, nestling himself into the crook of your neck and holding onto you like your body would once again evaporate into thin air should he let go even a little. Your responding sobs only made him hold on tighter.

Though Satan still wants you to feel independent and like you're not being smothered, he's noticeably more touchy-feely than usual, even more so in the presence of Belphie. He loves the youngest of his twin brothers dearly, but he's still somewhat hesitant to leave you alone with him for very long. Satan also starts inviting you to tag along with him whenever he goes out a lot more than he used to, so the two of you can spend more time together in general. Going to go see a movie? Hey Mc, I heard you liked this one so I bought an extra ticket. Going to the library? Mc, there's a few books that I want to recommend to you, so you should tag along. Just going on a normal shopping trip? Mc, I need some help finding the best deals over at Devil's Value, care to tag along?

When it's finally time for you to head back to the Human World, Satan is very torn. As much as he'd like to join team "If Mc goes, so do I", he also recognizes and respects your own abilities. You may not be the strongest out of all the ability users out there, but from what he's seen you're one of the strongest people in the three realms even without factoring your ability. Still, the fact that there is ability users out there in the world that likely could harm you a thousand times more than you had been during the Attic incident set him on edge a little bit.

Asmodeus:

Wow! While Asmodeus had met quite a few magic users and cast a good bit of his own spells, never before had he seen someone create tendrils out of their own clothing that seemed like the could stretch and strike without too much limitations. He's a bit disappointed that he can't charm you into using them for his own ambitions and purposes, but that factor just makes you all the more of an enticing target. Honestly, Asmo would pursue you at least a bit more, if not for a good chunk of his other priorities taking up those spots of time. Brand deals, fan meet-ups, VIP parties; you name it and Asmo's got about 20 or so of each to attend to that month. You'll need a few additional tie ins before you have the Avatar of Lust wrapped around your finger, so for now the most he pursues you is a few flirtatious comments here and there. Perhaps a little bit of teasing touches on your arms or shoulders, unless you should shy away and scramble out of his touch.

Most of your interactions with Asmodeus prior to your pact together boil down to his brief and usually one-sided advances, as previously stated. Once or twice you've been involved in the same discussions with his brothers being the ones to pull you into the conversation somehow, and on the rare occasion he'll chat you up on his own whenever he just so happens to be seated beside you at the dinner table. Though you are aware of his exact intentions and the meanings behind a majority of his words, over time you grow used to it and brush it off fairly easily. Your usual tactic of scaring people off didn't even seem to work on him anyway, and there's only so many times you can listen to Asmo call your offers to curb-stomp him "cute" or "hot" before you just give up.

The pact between the two of you is finally sealed after you first wield Solomon's borrowed powers in a way far stronger than the wizard ever had before. Damn, this Human has a neat ability, is part of some strange ability user filled mafia, AND has incredibly strong untapped magic potential? Step aside Solomon, Asmodeus has a new favorite Master.

Asmodeus will be the second of his brothers to admit to you that he's more interested in you as a person rather than your ability (The title of first goes to Beel). While his brothers overtime outweigh their interest in you or their interest in what you could do, Asmodeus is far more intrigued on going straight for the heart of the operation and getting to know you inside and out(emotionally I mean, you horny fool). In the beginning he's somewhat subtle about asking about your past and your current living circumstances as a member of the mafia, but over time Asmo just starts outright asking you whatever comes to mind once he's gotten a feel for what topics to not bring up in order to avoid making you upset or uncomfortable. With how much effort he puts in to earn your trust overtime, if you haven't already opened up at least some of your heart to one of his brothers, it's likely that Asmodeus will end up being the first to chip away at your chilly exterior. He just goes out of his way to make himself warm and inviting whilst actively caring about your wellbeing, so it's honestly hard not to.

Back on the topic of the mafia, Asmodeus honestly has probably had one or two run in with your weaker, ability-less subordinates in the past. The name Port Mafia isn't something he recognizes off the top of his head, considering how many mafias there are or have been in the Human World on ports and other seaside locations, but eventually he does connect the dots after a few additional details. Most of his memories regarding your subordinates involve them either seeking out power so that their boss would give them a higher ranking position and acknowledge them, or just them looking for a way to wind down and come undone after all the stressful and strenuous duties they had been tasked with. He had once teasingly asked if he could meet this all powerful boss they had spoken of, but seeing your eyes begin to panickily shift and face drain of color was all it took to drop it. Asmo still might visit this "Mori" fellow in the future, not exactly for pleasant reasons but also nothing you'd need to worry about.

Sometimes Asmodeus will indulge himself just a little in his occasional curiosity of your ability, but he doesn't press you if you feel uncomfortable with any of his requests. Most of the time he asks to see what Rashōmon can do in the form of a trade. Like, if you show him how much piercing damage one of your tendrils can do, he'll show off any of his demonic powers that you happen to be interested in. You're aware that he'd likely still show you any of his abilities if you asked anyway, but you too enjoy indulging him in his curiosities from time-to-time. So far what he's found most interesting is just how malleable Rashōmon can be without causing any damage to your clothing, and that Rashōmon can be formed through any clothes on your body. (Does that mean you're defenseless when you're- Yes Asmo, and that is the reason why you have a hefty lock on your bedroom door.) Asmo also picks up very easily when you're starting to feel the negative effects of over using your ability, and is quick to stop you and whisk you away for a pampering session. No matter how many times you explain to him that you can handle a little bit of wear and tear or that it's just a little coughing fit, he'll always insist on not allowing you to overdo it. He may not be able to help you all that much with homework, but he'll be damned(again) if he doesn't get you to practice some self-care routines.

Initially he was a bit nervous to go along with Satan's idea to get you and Lucifer to hit it off, but went along with it anyway. He did trust the both of you quite a bit, and though some of his eldest brother's past interactions with you had made him a bit nervous, ultimately Asmo knew that Lucifer was slowly warming up to you. As it just so happened to turn out, he had no need to worry about Lucifer causing any harm to you, since the one who actually ended up killing you was his younger brother that had been trapped in the Attic up until now. Seeing as he had been near the back of the pack when the brothers had all come scrambling to find the reasoning behind your sudden disappearance and a random cacophony of noise, Asmodeus hadn't seen your body at first. Mammon and Satan had surrounded you before he could catch sight of your familiar pitch black coat-tails, and seeing Belphegor suddenly back in the Devildom was enough of a shock to draw his eyes away momentarily. Only after hearing your voice fall off his brothers' lips in such a sad way did he look back and finally see your corpse. Tears pricked the corners of his eyes as he looked into your own, and the way they seemed so glassy and dull nearly made him fall to his knees and sob. Calling out to his brothers for help only made it harder to hold back, seeing as you were already gone by the time they all had gotten there. None of the brothers were even quite sure how Asmo would've responded had it not been for your sudden revival, but if one were to ask him the only response he'd give would be that it wouldn't have been pretty.

After everything regarding the Attic incident has calmed down and he can comfortably hold you in his arms once more, he suddenly develops a rather strange and very noticeable habit. And what is this habit? Stealing your coat whenever he gets the chance too. Asmodeus doesn't do it maliciously, and most of the time he just does it so he can be comforted by your scent. It's simply an added bonus that the coat he took is the one you wear all the time and you'll more often than not come to him in order to retrieve it. Somedays you do just let him have it for an hour or so, but during the Devildom's winter you don't let him keep it at all, no matter how much he offers to warm you up instead.

Count another one into team "If Mc goes, I'm going". Asmo cares for you to the moon and so much further, and going back to the Human World at this point sounds like you'll be ending up with either a death or prison sentence(or both). He's aware how strong you are to have survived on your own this far, but the thought of you dying again and him not doing anything to stop it AGAIN haunts him. Plus, prison isn't good for his darling Mc's skin! If you do end up staying in the Devildom though, Asmo is overjoyed at the idea of you bringing your younger sister along. Especially after all the stories he's heard about her from you!

Beelzebub:

Oh. Hm. Anyway so when's... Yeah, Beel's not exactly impressed or really interested when he sees you come out of the portal and the fact that you surrounded yourself with this strange cage of tendrils still somehow manages to not really catch his eye. He's got a lot of other priorities Mc, he can't get hung up on why the human he's not allowed to eat has a weird superpower when Beelzebub is far more concerned on if Lucifer is going to punish him when they get home because he ate all the food in the fridge before they left for RAD that morning. The thing he finds most interesting is more so the fact that Mammon was your appointed caretaker, but that moment of curiosity is ever so fleeting. Beel really just wants the Student Council meeting to be over and done with, preferring not to stare at the empty chair beside him.

As expected, you don't really interact with Beelzebub all that much prior to the formation of the pact between the two of you. Unless Mammon or Leviathan need help with something or get him to help you with something, he doesn't find himself in your general area too often. Your somewhat cold and standoffish personality doesn't help on that front too much either, as even with a bit of warming up a-la the Great Mammon and Lord of Shadows, you're still not the easiest person to approach and strike up a conversation with. Occasionally he does ask the brothers you're close to about how they're getting along with you, but it's more for their sake than yours.

After the whole Custard fiasco takes place and you're forced to share a room with him, he starts taking at least a little bit more interest in you. You're still somewhat aloof, but you manage to make a decent amount of small talk with him. What catches his attention the most is when you bring up your younger sister, whom you care for dearly. The first night the topic is brought up the two of you almost stay up all night, trading stories about your respective siblings. You can't help but sympathize with Beel as well, since you know the inner turmoil you'd go through if something were to happen to your sister. Beelzebub can also sympathize with your own current plight of being trapped in the Devildom and away from your only other living family in the Human World. Honestly if he hadn't formed a pact with you after everything that happened in the Underground Tomb, he likely would've done it at some other point.

Unless you can or are willing to use your ability in a way that would help you in working out with him, Beel doesn't often ask you to bring out Rashōmon aside from helping him carry some stuff that didn't fit in his arms. He'd much rather help you train your physical body than watch you wear yourself down by using your ability anyway. Of course the two of you make a workout routine that suits you the best, but Beel can also recognize when you're pushing yourself too far and will stop you and probably just head home for the day after. Most likely you do end up using your ability for other purposes around him at some point, and he's quick to pick up on the effects that over usage has on your body just as fast as he notices you overextending yourself in the gym. Should you be a bit defiant with him and try to keep going despite your current state, Beel with simply pick you up and gently toss you over his shoulder. You're well aware that kicking or screaming won't get you out of this, so you just have to settle for being carried home like a sack of potatoes or at least until he puts you back down.

Bringing up the topic of the Port Mafia with Beel yields somewhat interesting results. He'd rather not hear about some of the more brutish methods they use or a good majority of the schemes they commit, but he is oddly intrigued by the sense of camaraderie that you seem to share with some of your superiors and the leaders of Black Lizard. It reminds him somewhat of the bond he shares with his Fangol teammates, minus the fact that his teammates aren't actively committing crimes as far as he's aware. Rather than subtly convincing you, Beel would much prefer to just outright tell you that he doesn't like that you're a part of such a dangerous side of humanity and urges you to stay in the Devildom with them after the Exchange Program is over. And once everything involving the Attic is over and done with, he's only further cemented in the idea of you making your stay in the Devildom permanent. But of course before we get there, we gotta talk about the Attic incident.

Similar to Asmodeus, he'd been at the rear end of the group when the brothers had been searching for you as well as the source of the noise. But unlike Asmo, Beelzebub's height advantage allowed him to not only see Belphegor somehow standing there cackling, as well as your crumpled body in Mammon's arms. As much as Beel had desperately been awaiting the day of his twin's return and wished to pull him into an embrace, it was incredibly clear that his oh-so beloved twin brother had literally just murdered you in cold blood. He didn't even need to ask the motive either, knowing full well just how much Belphegor had sworn vengeance against humanity ever since the Fall. Yet even so, Beel felt that you didn't deserve this, to take the full front of his brother's wrath just for your species. Unable to make a move towards or away from either of you, he remained rooted in place and just stared, occasionally glancing back at Lucifer for guidance. A sudden gnawing hunger fills his stomach and gradually builds up as the tension in the air grows thicker, the unnatural sort of hunger that only your living presence could truly fill. Thankfully it seemed at least one of his hungers would be solved that day, as you suddenly reappeared at the top of the stairs alive, but slightly bruised and batter. Alongside Lucifer, he held Belphie back to prevent him from attacking you again, letting you get out what needed to be said about Lilith that you had learned from the other timeline's version of Lucifer.

Beelzebub hangs back for quite a bit after your revival, allowing his brothers to hug and hold onto you as they tell you how happy they are you're alive before approaching you. Mostly he just wanted to allow his brothers to get your full attention before he asked for any, but a small part of him felt that he didn't deserve to embrace you in such a way after failing to protect you like he had promised. By the end of the night he still does embrace you, but not too long afterwards is when the guilt-ridden nightmares set in. Not only does he now dream of failing to protect Lilith, but your death now plagues his mind as well. After the first set of sleepless nights caused by these new nightmares, Beelzebub asks if he can sleep in your room for the night. Following then you often find yourself sleeping with Beel, as your presence seems to ward off nightmares like a sort of dreamcatcher.

Yet another member of team "If Mc goes, I go" for very obvious reasons. He's your sworn protector and if you're going back to a part of the Human World where you're incredibly likely to end up getting yourself killed, he's coming along with you. Also he really wants to meet your younger sister!

Belphegor:

Woe is him! Such a poor, unfortunate human locked up in the Attic of the treacherous demon brothers! What ever shall he do, trapped up here until his bones begin to crumble and skin turns to dust? Fellow human, won't you listen to his plea? Won't you help him escape the confines set in place by the wicked Avatar of Pride, Lucifer himself? "No"? What do you mean "no"?! Hey! HEY! Where the fuck are you going?! And did you just shrug and call him weak as you walked off???!!! Get back here!

Yeaahh, unfortunately for Belphie he's gonna have to wait until you get annoyed by his constant complaining in the dead of night or warm up to Beel and learn about him before you come back. At the point in time that you had made your way up the stairs to discover the mysterious voice that had been calling out to you, you certainly were not in a state that you would've jumped to save this random "human" from their imprisonment at the hands of Lucifer. Once you do finally return you're somewhat upset that Belphegor had attempted to lie to you about his origins, but you set aside those reservations in favor of focusing on how to get him back with Beelzebub. You couldn't deny that if you had been in his position, you might've lied in order to get back to your younger sister yourself.

Luckily for Belphie, besides his initial lie of being a human, you don't pick up on any of his other manipulated truths and forced words of kindness. Outside of the occasional update whenever you would get a new pact with one of the brothers or just going up and making sure he's still healthy, the two of you don't interact much during his stay in the Attic. Near the end of his time up there you did start coming up more frequently, under the guise of making sure he was eating and drinking properly. You may have tried to be as subtle as possible about your true motives, but he had begun to pick up on how much his brothers had worn down that harsh outer shell of yours that he'd seen in your first meeting. He'd even caught you smiling at one point when you had thought he wasn't looking, and act that made him scowl and growl to himself about after you had left for the night. He hated putting on that fake smiley attitude with you to gain your trust, but what he hated even more was that you yourself had begun to make him feel strangely warm and tingly inside. Just how was he supposed to go about his plans of killing you if he's getting distracted by these sudden complex feelings? With no clear alternative answer, Belphie settled for just pushing them deep down inside instead.

As with any other day sent in the Attic, he had been sleeping during his brothers' plans to get you and Lucifer to bond closer together. Most of the time he just slept until you rhythmically tapped on the bars of the door, so he didn't budge at all when the door had suddenly opened at your touch and you stepped inside. The feeling of someone's hand on his shoulder shaking him was enough to snap him awake, locking eyes with you as you now stood beside him in what had been his own personal prison for months now. Still going along with his plan, Belphegor is quick to express his deepest "graditudes" and holds his arms out to you for a hug. Hesitantly, you slowly ease into his embrace, making it clear that physical affections weren't you strong suit. With how much you had hesitated in the beginning, Belphie almost felt bad for what he was about to do to you. Almost. His hands suddenly wrapped around your throat, squeezing tighter and tighter with a gleeful expression on his face as you violently thrash and struggle. Rashōmon attacks blindly in his direction in an attempt to protect you, but the most you manage to get out of it is a momentary distraction to wriggle out of his grasp before he's attacking you once again. It is at this point Lilith's spirit whisks you away, trading you with the alternate timeline version of yourself and saying her peace to you.

The alternate timeline version of you puts up just as much of a fight as you would have, but ultimately falls by the hands of the Avatar of Sloth. Most of the damage you deal against Belphie is minor cuts and bruising, but that's still more then any other weaker creature that had gone against him had done. If he had to admit one thing, it would be that he was somewhat surprised by your tenacity. He would have enjoyed it far more if he could've beaten you into submission and watched you slowly pass on, but you continued to put up a fight until your dying breath. By the time his brothers had arrived onto the scene, your past self's body was already growing cold and your blood had begun to dye the white spots of the rug a deep red. The betrayal in the air was thick, yet he still cackled and mocked not only the human he had just killed but his brothers as well, for caring so much for such a weak being. He had honestly expected at least one of them to turn against him and go after him, but any of those thoughts were quickly silenced by the disappearance of your body and re-emergence at the top of the stairwell.

Coping with the fact that Lilith had been reincarnated as a human and lived a happy life with her lover was far easier the what he was now coming to terms with. Not only had he killed you for what he perceived as the wrong-doings of your entire species, but he had betrayed your trust that he had spent months building up. You still didn't even fully trust him at the time of his release either, too nervous to hug him right away when he'd offered. Somehow though, you eventually found it in yourself to slowly forgive him and begin building up trust in him again. It was a slow and steady process with a few set backs along the way, but as his pact mark now lay emblazed upon your skin Belphie could sleep comfortably on your lap.

Seeing as you didn't have much of a reason to show him your ability before, Belphie had only really seen you use it when you were trying to fight for your life against him. Since he'd rather not have that in mind when thinking about your ability, he started to occasionally request that you show it off for him whenever you feel like it. Mostly he enjoys just watching the tendrils perform mundane tasks like carrying groceries or folding laundry, but he'd be lying if he said he wasn't secretly scheming some pranks with Satan that you would be a big help in. But his favorite use of Rashōmon is when you pick him up after he's fallen asleep and carry him to a more comfortable location. Rashōmon's tendrils are somewhat prickly, but Belphie has thick enough clothing that if you grab onto the right parts you can use your ability to lift and pull him about with ease. Secretly, he's often awake whenever you do end up carrying him somewhere, but he just enjoys being along for the ride. The second you start coughing or showing any negative side effects though, he's strangely and suddenly woken up and is sleepily asking to be put down, which usually just ends with him pulling you down with him to the floor for an impromptu nap.

During his stay in the Attic Belphie had helped you a little with your subjects at RAD, but now that he's out and has a massive backlog or homework and assignments to get through you'll actually end up helping him more than he helps you. Belphegor isn't stupid by any means and does finish up everything within a month and a half, but it's nice to have someone to bounce ideas off of and study with. Once he's all caught up though, he's more than happy to help you with your own classwork, even if he does tease you every time you ask for his help.

Yeah so, team "If Mc goes, I go" is honestly all of the brothers beside Satan and Lucifer. It's not that they aren't confident in your own abilities, it's just that they're all incredibly aware just how fragile even the strongest of humans are. And no one is more aware of that than Belphegor. Not to mention they're quite literally sending you back to hell on earth, where your superiors are very likely to be pissed off about your sudden and very long absence. Plus, either way he'll get to spend more time with you and probably meet your younger sister. Hopefully someone steps in for or against you Mc, otherwise you better hope that your salary can account for all of these brand new roommates you and Gin just received.

(*drinks my "I love making Chapter 16 more angsty and emotional than it canonically is" juice* Drifted a bit outta canon for this one, as a treat. Also if y'all have noticed, I did have to nerf Aku!Mc a bit so the demon brothers are an actual threat. I don't believe Mc would be too scared of the demon brothers if they didn't at least have some resistance to Rashomon's incredible consumption of matter and space.

After all of that mixed angst and gen hc's, here's a cute gif of Aku from BSD: Wan! I love every time he just looks like (◎ ◎) I hope y'all look forward to the next part with the Now Dateables+Luke!)

I don't know if I'm too late if so ignore this. Mc trying to take care of Lucifer. Like bringing him food and drinks, trying to make sure stuff is done in the house, stopping the brothers from bothering him.,thanks for reading my request and remember if you don't want to do it or I'm to late delete it.

You weren't too late at that time and I'm in a lucifer mood tonight so this is being done!

Also who else would like to try spicy hellburned chili now that i made it up? Because I do.

Helpful Hands (LUCIFER X GN!READER)

People always underestimate how much he does for this family, or at least he thinks so. They see mean old Lucifer who only ever bullies and is way too strict. They see the guy who has a patch of gray hair but should be way too young to have it. They see the Avatar of Pride who can’t bear to be defeated for the life of him. Sometimes they see a stuck up asshole who thinks of nothing but himself and occasional torture because he’s viewed as Mr. Sadist. The last part might be mildly true, but only on bad days and only to those who really deserve it. He’s heard it all, from both friends and foes alike, and of course his family. Even Diavolo scolds him at times, which that’s when he’s truly about to snap it because if it weren’t for the Demon Lord he probably wouldn’t be on edge all the time, but more on that later. The point is, though, that most, if not all, of those claims are fault.

People see the surface level. They see what they want to see and they don’t dare to dig deeper. Maybe they fear him, maybe they’re just too warped in the idea that he absolutely hates everyone that they also turn to hating him. A “I do you like you do me” type of deal, but if they would just take the time… if they would listen and really take a good look at him… maybe they’d realize he’s just suffering. Everytime he gets mad at Mammon or gives a stern, “not now,” that’s him being overwhelmed. Or if his agitation shines through, it’s not because he’s truly annoyed, but because he knows they can do better. He pushes his brothers, absolutely, but only because he knows their true potential. He holds all this weight on his shoulders, for everyone, and instead of giving a small thanks, they ruin his day. It’s hard being the unwanted parent of six, but if he wasn’t, Hell would burn. Or, well, more so than it usually does. Diavolo adds to his work on the daily, and maybe that wouldn’t be such a problem, if he weren’t also the one distracting him from such work and then getting onto him for not having it done.

It’s hard being him. It’s hard to be the responsible one because you feel like you have to; because you feel like you owe it to them. He blames himself, heavily, for everything that has happened, even though it was their choice to join him. He lays there at night, more often than he likes to admit, and asks himself the big “what if” questions. “What if I didn’t go against them.” “what if I let loose.” “What if I’m being too strict.” Never, ever will you hear him say these things. Pride, ya know? But you don’t need to hear those things because you do know. You see it in his tired eyes and slumped posture once no one is looking. You see it in the way he eats and his coffee outweighs his nutrients. You can tell every time his anger rises too quickly, although he deems himself the rational one. You know Lucifer, even if he thinks you don’t, and you feel bad for him. You feel bad that you’re the only one who seems to see how truly tired he is. How much of a shoulder to lean on he actually needs, and although you’d never dare just go up and offer it, because once again his pride still wouldn’t let him admit that, you try to acknowledge his needs in little ways.

Coffee was ready this morning, Lucifer noted, but he brushed it off because maybe it was just Beel’s late night or early morning snack; maybe he wanted some? “The pot is full…” and he took advantage of that. Whoever made the coffee, and someone must have because it was still hot and tasted fresh, he thanks them. You smiled to yourself when you saw him with a cup, heading back to his office, “morning, Lucifer. Enjoy your coffee.” He had looked at you, blinking a few times and probably wondering why you’re so cheery this early in the morning, “Good morning, (Y/N).” but that was it. Well, not really. Next thing he knew was that lunch was already done when he arrived in the kitchen to start it. “(Y/N)? What are you doing? It’s my turn.” but you only shrugged, wiping your hands before grabbing the plates and heading out to the dining room to place them, “yeah but I was already down here and didn’t have anything to do. Don’t mind me, just come sit and eat.” He didn’t say it, and he didn’t need to, but he was really appreciative and he even managed a small smile when you passed.

Those were isolated incidences, though, or so he thought. But now, little by little, he realized more and more things that he had never noticed before. The rooms were clean, or at least the ones he was in, the fridge and pantry was always stocked, even with Beel around, and he rarely ever got interrupted. Of course, he still heard the occasional arguments between his brothers; Mammon stealing the remote right as Belphegor was about to put sleepy time music on… seriously, why can’t the guy do that on his D.D.D.? Or Satan screaming at Leviathan who accidently tripped over Satan’s books in his room while lending him his headphones. Shocker on that one, right? Or maybe it was a disagreement between you and Beelzebub about which spices should be used in the Spicy Hellburned Chili for this wednesday night’s dinner. But all of these were minor and nothing compared to what he usually deals with. At first he was super suspicious though and would constantly check on everyone, but by day three he thought that maybe, just maybe, he had gotten lucky and he finally does have some peace. Spoiler alert: he did. He got way more done than he ever did.

That, however, does bother him. He doesn’t know who or why they would do it and as much as he enjoys it, he would also like to have a discussion with them. His birthday isn’t for another couple of months so he knows that that wouldn’t be the reason he’s being treated so nicely, so what else could it be? Mammon would only do this for money and even then he’s pretty upfront about it and begs for it Lucifer immediately after he had done the task, so he’s off the table. Satan and Belphegor would rather die than help him, Asmodeus is too obsessed with himself and Leviathan is holed up more than he shows any signs of life. So, the only other two people are you and Beelzebub, both of which are very nice people and debatably the only ones who truly care about him. The last part is a joke, but you two show it more than others. “Was it you that has been helping me?” But Beelzebub just looked confused, half a bag of chips down his throat as Lucifer asked and something told Lucifer that he wasn’t it. “No, but did you need help?” With a shake of his head and a sigh, Lucifer turned on his heel to go and find you, but not before doing something else.

“Come to my room, (Y/N).” he had said and for a moment you thought your whole plan backfired and his brothers annoyed him again, or maybe you had forgotten something in it? Were you not careful enough in your attempts to make his life easier? You haven’t even gotten to the best part! “I’m here…” you practically sprinted down the hall while trying to find an excuse for anything he could potentially say, but when he opened the door to let you in, all of those left your mind, “what’s up?” He didn’t look… mean, per se, but he looked stern like always and it kind of freaked you out. Did you do something wrong? Was the coffee not strong enough? You used the wrong spices for the chili, didn’t you? “Do you see this?” Lucifer’s finger pointed out and you followed it, noting it was pointing at his desk, “uhm…. Yes? Am I not supposed to see it? Wasn’t it always here?” “Yes, it has always been there. However, something is different.” You turned to look at him and then back at his desk. Was it new? Did he paint it? Is there a trophy on there you should be aware of? “Lucifer I can’t see--”

When you turned back around, he was holding out two glasses of champagne and a smile was, for once in what felt like forever, gracing his lips. “Exactly. It’s empty. You can actually see it.” he hands you one of the glasses, his smile never faltering, “I had an unusual amount of time this week thanks to a few… coincidences that just so happen to align with my schedule and make my life easier. I know it was you. You made my coffee that morning, and were kind enough to leave the pot. You took up my lunch shift on purpose, not because you were down there. You also took my dinner shift this week, and cleaned the house. I’m assuming you’re also responsible for keeping my brothers in line which is a miracle within itself.” He chuckled softly, shaking his head before reaching out his other hand and tilting your chin up, “I don’t know how or why… and frankly, I don’t want to know. It would ruin the fun of it, but I do want to thank you for it and seeing as I have nothing else to do tonight, or tomorrow, you’ll be staying with me.” You blinked a few times. You could feel your heartbeat speed up and for a moment you wondered what you had actually done, but also, how bad could this go? You had one more thing to give him, anyway. “Works for me. I have one more thing to give you, anyway.” You clink your glass with his before taking a sip, watching him raise an eyebrow while your own eyebrows rose up and your lips turned into a smirk. “Undress for me, Lucifer.”

You hope he will agree to a massage. Lord knows he needs his shoulders loosened up.

Douma x reader - Innocence

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Took me a long time to upload a new content am so sorry for the delay I was really busy with school assignments therefore I cannot manage the time to write. I apologize in advance for any grammatical errors on my behalf, I hope you enjoy.

Warning : Dark themes like gore, blood and violence, degradation and swearing, mature content.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The moon shone brightly above the sky as it's light leak through the branches illuminating the famous building of the eternal paradise cult. A new set of followers rushed into the dwelling in hopes of fulfilling their selfish desires, diminishing their agonies and enriching their possessions. However a particular human with her tattered kimono seem not to be interested to convey anything although the people around her would die to witness even a glimpse of the charismatic leader as for now she was busy running along the wide long corridors

The sound of thumping footsteps echoed throughout the building as a herd of followers attempted on catching the miscreant who disrupted the peaceful atmosphere prevailing over the supreme cult. The already annoyed and frustrated people were all worked up to catch the energetic human who on the other hand have thoughts of escaping this place they called paradise. If only she was careful enough to notice her mother's strange behavior soon as they entered the place but how can you possibly blame an innocent little girl like her, or so she thought. Afraid she might lose sight of her treacherous mother who abandoned her just moments ago she desparety stumbled her way out although that didn't concerned her simple thinking process but that's exactly how complicated the situation was.

Turning one last time to look behind if those weird people were still following her or not when suddenly she bumped into a Tall muscular figure standing infront of her soft delicate frame she must have missed him approaching while focusing on looking behind. "Please just leave me alone!" The girl fumed coherently still overwhelmed by the amount of people rushing towards her like waves something that she was not accustomed with as for eighteen years she lived indoors interacting rarely with anyone and playing with dolls most of the time.

"Watch your tongue brat" one of the men standing beside the tall man spoke with disgust hinted in his voice. "Crouch down you insolent woman, where's your gratitude it's because of lord Douma's benevolence that you are still here or you'd be rotting in the street thanks to your mother", the people around her started whispering and murmuring behind her back but she was not bother since her senses were filled with newfound wrath how dare they insult your angel like mother? No longer able to contain your anger you shouted with tears "Then take me to my mother, I don't want to stay here alone".

"Your mother abandoned you here so shut up and deal with it, now move your way for master" the man grunted irritatedly motioning the other followers to grab her and take her away.

"No don't touch me" she wiggled under their grip rushing towards douma blocking him from entering the room by grabbing his arm tightly "I am not going anywhere until I know where my mother is" she cried loudly making the demon flinch with surprise, how pitiful the creature looked in his polychromatic eyes. He have seen many humans crying before him for obvious reasons which honestly have become his monotonous routine but somehow this girl acted quite weird being her age, interesting him enough to investigate. As he was about to speak the man beside him pushed the girl hashly making her lose her balance and fall on the wooden floor.

"How dare you touch master with your filthy hands bitch" he lift his hand to slap her tight in the face but someone grabbed his wrist just in time to save the girl from further humiliation.

"Silence" all the questioning glances, judging looks and whispering stopped at once as douma spoke nonchalantly making the latter shiver in regret.

"I am sorry douma sama" the man uttered in pure horror having no intentions to displease his beloved lord. "I was-"

"I don't want to see that happen again, understood?" He replied coldly still maintaining his wide smile as the previous chaos shifted into complete hush. The man lowered his head down with shame nodding silently. Douma averted his attention and glanced at the figure underneath making the girl jolt a bit but his once frightening demeanor changed into a cheerful and optimistic one in matter of second upon seeing her.

"Please take her to my chamber and treat her wounds" the man clapped with a wide grin plastered on his face. A group of female servants came rushing to help picking her up. The girl being too bewildered did not protested and simply follow his tone as if she was hypnotized by his neatly decorated persona.

The girl was immediately taken away without delay and as per douma he needed to attend his cult duties. First of all she was washed and changed into a beautiful kimono as soon as she stepped inside, then she was escorted into a room filled with antiques and lavish items which she have never seen. Her face lit up with fascination as she began venturing those decorative pieces.

"Looks like you have ease down a bit, good good" A familiar tone struck in her ears startling her a bit only to turn back and view the handsome cult leader although it was a bit strange because she did not heard anyone approaching.

"Aww did I scared you?" He laughed covering his face with golden fans.

"No I was just- you came in without a warning, I was taken aback" she explained blushing trying her best not to act immature to which douma laughed uncontrollably as he found this human's expression adorable say entertaining in his words.

"D-dont laugh at me" she pouted crossing her arms in the attempt.

"I am sorry (y/n), you really amuse me" he replied still grinning. However there was a moment of awkward silence between them as he uttered her name abruptly.

"I didn't tell you my name.." after a long pause she replied to him with a confuse look in her face.

"I know everyone's name who are living under my supervision including yours besides what kind of cult leader I am if I don't have basic information about my fellow followers. Oh look I have been talking to you without giving the chance to let you talk my bad" he laughed again waving his fans creating another awkward situation. Causing you to sweatdrop on his remark.

"Say (y/n) how old are you?" to which she replied enthusiastically "I am 8 years old and will turn 9 soon"

"Ah you don't look like one" douma grinned closing his eyes in the process.

"Yeah I get that a lot" she remarked shyly.

"Your mother is one of my followers" he continued

"Really?" her eyes sparked with hope as she approached douma with anticipation grabbing his arms for the second time starling him, she really like holding hands eh? he have experiences like that but somehow this girl made him feel different so he allowed her but then she stopped halfway through her words "I really miss her it's been a week since she left me here" her voice dropped with sadness.

Douma felt no sympathy for humans or anything as such, he have learned to fake his emotions from a very tender age eversince he was born to the extent that even seeing his mother killing her husband mercilessly failed to evoke feelings within. He clearly did not understand what she was feeling he just stared at her with a blank expression only to replace it quickly with a grim look even faking few tears. "(Y/n) chan you know its okay you will still have me" he patted the girl in an attempt to comfort her.

"Friends?" (Y/n) replied between her tears.

"If that's how you want us to be" douma smiled at her gently shocking himself for a second because he didn't think of smiling?

Things escalated soon after that incident, (y/n) was a kind and compassionate person from inside and out and in not time the cult followers started loving her presence. As often douma would let her accompany him and most of the time she stayed by his side following him everywhere and he didn't mind that at all moreover he appreciated her company. (Y/n) was like a fresh bud to him who depicted innocence and purity he loved spoiling her with expensive gifts yet she never showed signs of greediness and genuinely appreciated his thoughtfulness slowly forgetting the past life she was in and cherishing her friendship with douma. At first she was reluctant and didn't like getting so much attention but in the course of time she bonded better with everyone and was quite content with the life she was leading. As for douma he began to depend on (y/n) to the point that not seeing her face for even one day would make him go insane and he didn't understand why not like he want to because all he cared about was how she made him feel so many varieties of pleasant emotions he wish he could feel. Eating her was out of context.

However all good things must come to an end for he is someone to not rest in peace after the sin he have committed for centuries. Seeing douma paying her more attention, spoiling her with a ravish lifestyle and even letting her stay by his side all the time made some of his cult members terribly envious they wanted to punish her for taking their chances of stealing the spotlight. There was this one room that he forbade his followers to enter for obvious reasons and specifically for (y/n) because he didn't want to repeat the same mistake. This was exactly what they wanted (y/n) to do break the rules and Douma's trust. Like that there would be no more favouritism on her with others.

"Ah (y/n), there you are" one of the female member approached her one fine morning.

"Yes how may I help you?" She asked cheerfully

"Lord douma have asked for your presence in the forbidden room tonight and he said its urgent"

"Aren't we all prohibited to go inside"

"Oh (y/n) it's true master have arrived today and he wants your presence"

Upon hearing that news her heart elated with happiness, it has been two weeks since he last saw douma around and she missed him but something felt off about the whole situation douma always sees (y/n) first before tending his followers then why did he not come meet her did he not miss her like she did?

She was lost in her thoughts until she found two hands waving and snapping infort of her face.

"Don't be late, okay?" With that said the female hurried back into other room leaving (y/n) behind even though the situation seem kinda odd maybe douma was busy afterall.

At night (y/n) went into the restricted area. She stood infront of the shoji door in absolute dilemma debating whether or not to enter the room or go back. There was her desire of meeting douma on one hand and not breaking his trust by entering the room on the other. In the end she decided not to but as she was turning back she heard someone grunting in pain behind the closed doors being a compassionate person, she decided to open the door and enter into the darkness adjusting her eyes in the process, a pungent smell hit her nostrils making her cover her mouth and to her absolute terror the scene infront of her made her puke in disgust.

A pile of Mutilated bodies, mostly women laid around lifelessly on the blood stained tatami mattress. Many having no limbs, some headless and organs missing from their body as if someone had ate all of that. The whole room was a mess full of unfortunate people. She felt sick and began crawling down her way back from the corpses. However she felt a tight grip on her left foot upon looking down she witness the sight of a woman her intestines oozing out of her stomach begging for help. (Y/n) stood there perplexed unable to say anything chocking through tears.

"I told you not to come here, why?" (Y/n) turned her head violently to see douma standing in a distance his countenance cold and sinister evident that he was highly displeased upon seeing his innocent flower disobeying his instructions.

"It's not... like... what you see" (y/n) cried fearfully but douma didn't seem to buy it well in a blink of an eye she found herself in Douma's arms as he aggressively dragged her out of the room.

"What's going on douma" no word came out from the usual lively douma.

"It's hurting me your grip" no reply again to which she forcefully tried to stand still with all her strength. This time douma stopped his features hidden under his bangs making her unable to figure the expression he was carrying.

"Is this why douma forbade us to enter the room" no reply

"Are you responsible for murdering those innocent people?" No reply

"DOUMA" she shouted

"Why you want to join them?" Douma finally looked at her his eyes glowing dangerously proving his existence to be something unnatural. (Y/n's) eyes widen at his remarks as tears rolled down her visage.

"I hate you.." she murmured

"What?" He tilted his head letting his guard down a bit at her hurtful comments.

"I HATE YOU" she pushed douma roughly and flew from the place running deep into the forest for she knew who he was and what he is capable of doing. Tearing down she constantly reminisce the moments she shared but she cannot allow herself to sympathize his heinous crimes. Why is it that the people I love are always taken away from me? She thought. Exhausted from running she halted in order to catch her breath while glancing back to see if he was following, there was no one indeed so a sudden feeling of relief gushed in her body. However turning her head back she saw him standing inches apart from her face which made her shiver and fall onto the knees.

"Why are you running away from me (y/n)" he said apatheticly his head lowered at her level. She did not reply and stayed quite.

"Is it true that you don't love me after all the things I did for you?" Covering his face with one hand his eyes glowing under the moonlight a look of dejection written on his face. There was complete silence in the forest except the sound of rustling trees.

"Answer me" holding her face now firmly he growled making her flinch under his breath. In one last desperate attempt (y/n) tried to stab douma with a tree branch she found laying on the ground but unfortunately douma was faster and easily dodged the attack and in a swift motion he hit her with immense strength causing her fragile little body to tremble in pain as she coughed mucus mixed with blood.

"How foolish of you" he crouched down her height staring intensely at the quivering figure of the miserable girl. As for (y/n) her body ached but more was the tightness in the chest that she was experiencing in the moment.

He pulled her by the hair roughly making her scream in pain although at this point all she could manage with her cracking voice were inaudible screams.

"Why did you disobey me? (Y/n)..." who knew beneath that friendly kind face was hiding a undeniably deadly and calculative demon and at this point it was clear for her that he was anything but human.

"Who are you?" these few words manage to escape from her shaky lips in between low grunts.

"I am the leader of the eternal paradise cult"

"Wrong" to which he tightened his grip making her shriek again.

"You humans are so dumb believing in the existence of primordial deities where in reality its just a myth, a fairytale, created for pleasuring the sufferings of mere human. Being superior than you mortals I wanted to make these pitiful existence happy and that's why I was born and what you saw there" his lips curved into a cheeky smile revealing his deadly fangs creeping the shit out of the already scared girl. "I eat them so that they can always be with me and attain salvation" a sinister laughter escape from his mouth as he covered it with his golden fans. (Y/n) unable to process the new sets of information knots formed in her stomach making her sick in the guts.

"I ate your mother too, oh she was ungrateful after all the things I did to her just like you" protruding her eyes with pure shock she felt her veins popping out and blood boiling in pure rage.

"You are a monster, you think your stupid morals would persuade people to think like you do, I despise you douma I thought we were friends and you took away the one I cherished the most?"

"You think your mother loved you?" Douma snapped. The duality of this was man was insane, all the things he does or says are plastic.

"She never cared for your life, you want to know why? I will tell you since you insist" douma dragged her out of forest holding a fistful of her hair tightly inflicting great discomfort to the girl while he continued with his harsh statements and deliberate insults.

"You were just a burden, behaving like a fucking child with the alluring body of yours"

"No my mother promised me..she would protect me.. you are lying"

"While you were crying everyday inside my shrine that lowly woman enjoyed her life indulging in adultery with various cult members leaving her sick husband and mentally retarded daughter in the dark" every word he uttered spread vemon into her ears.

"Still she wanted more and more and more, what a greedy whore" douma continued.

"Do you know how much difficult it was for me to control myself around you? While you sway your hips and act innocently making those hungry men lust over you, how much dumb can you be?"

"What do you mean I don't understand.. douma"

"I did everything I can for you yet you remain ungrateful, disrespectful? Well guess its runs in your blood and I thought you are innocent but it turns out that you are just like the rest of them, naive"

Her eyes widened with every hurtful remarks he made about her and she did not understand why she felt that way shouldn't she be resentful towards him for killing her beloved mother but here she is weeping constantly because douma was treating her like he never did before.

"But that's fine (y/n) I can not bring myself to hurt you I love you and we shall always be together whether you like it or not" nothing reached in her ears anymore as her body grew numb. Her eyes shut as she carried the unbearable pain in her heart slowly loosing consciousness and remaining sanity.

It would have been easier if she died but alas a mere human like her is doomed at his mercy.

*me imagining someone else in the attic/locked up/hates humans*

Me talking to a friend who does not know the game: so imagine if it was someone else in the attic-

Friend: what?

*Switches to Tumblr*

How in character do you think this would be

Please don't feel obligated to answer or even read this if you don't want to. I just typed this up and wanted to share is all

So imagine if someone else hates humans

Lucifer ignoring certain things as long as the human is not visually hurt or if it could be played of as MC being a drama queen, subtly pushing more work to stress out MC to make them go home, any 'negative' traits of theirs is used as a reason on how humans and demons not being compatible(he would either be ignoring the lilith situation/not knowing about the bloodline) overall just trying to make their experience as horrible as possible without there being anything that would portray the devildom as being at fault, assuming MC is related to Lilith and he finds out he... Doesn't feel bad per say but regrets how distant MC is

Mammon, assuming he's in charge of them would conveniently forget to give them stuff or remind them of literally anything. He would steal their stuff as well as maybe even planting stuff on them and try to blame them for something he clearly did, maybe some quips on how if they can't handle it they should just go home or something, Lilith reveal had him feeling so bad he pampers the heck out of MC or if MC gone home and it's his fault while he knows, well everyone is mad at him now including himself

Leviathan would probably just ignore them and if forced to interact call them rude anime terms and become a otome game villain(ironic right?) Perhaps he may end up being one of the easier ones to turn around as certain traits would endear MC to him, probably wouldn't make them make a pact with Mammon and instead use a cliche plan from something he watched that kind of worked but didn't? Post Lilith reveal he's now MC's best friend

Satan would definitely be on house arrest somewhere, he did NOT act pleasantly at the fact there were going to be humans in the devildom after calming down he does something similar to what belphie did with more success or he ruins it by raging at them, the lilith reveal doesn't cause any change for him

Asmodeus would be like a popular girl from a movie, insult upon insults with masterful crowd control with cronies at every corner ready to pounce, MC would not have a good school life with him around(the lilith reveal, assuming MC is related to her) his actions cause literal whiplash in the school as everyone's trying to figure out why he's acting like this and blames MC(lilith is not allowed to be public knowledge) actual attempts on MC's life

Beelzebub isn't really that bad, he just ignores you and does his best to prevent the brothers from getting to close to you, maybe some mention of him eating a person around you now and then or how tasty you look. Lilith reveal makes him really guilty and sad and even sadder when he realizes MC isn't very comfortable around him

Everyone knows how Belphegor reacts

Why would Solomon hates other humans?

Simeon wouldn't be here if he hates humans but here we go. Any vaguely sinful act done either in his presence of that he hears about incites lectures and sermons that end up talking about completely different sins MC probably didn't do. Constantly there to 'correct' MC. If he has to stay near a human may as well make them as angelic as possible. Post Lilith reveal either has them laying off on the lectures(Angel blood) or he gets even 'harsher' on them as they may as well be a demon themselves

Luke. Why would he hate them??? This is not allowed Luke stays Luke and would instead defend MC religiously against whoever hates humans and gain an even worse view of demons. Simeon's lectures confuse him like a bag full of salt labeled sugar you can tell there's something wrong but it doesn't look wrong

Barbatos is the symbol of subtly. Take that as you will

Diavolo. Does not make sense he would start this exchange program if he hates humans. Would either not have humans there or they would be there as... Well it wouldn't end pretty

Oh my, this is a doozy...

I think your reactions would hold pretty true, given how they reacted to the Lilith reveal before (minus Satan, but there's a lot of weirdness around him and the Lilith thing anyway).

I think if any of them were to hate humans like Belphie, most likely candidates would be:

Lucifer, for kind of the same reasons

Beelzebub, ditto but to a lesser extent

Levi, but more out of jealousy (humans hog all the good anime merch and release dates after all)

And Satan, I dunno. Just cause. I mean he's the most demonic out of all of them, in a way he has the LEAST reason to like them. Corrupting humans is kind of in his DNA.

Simeon hating humans (or at least being more critical of them) is an interesting idea to me, but I think the game is kind of staging Raphael to be that kind of angel.

And a weird part of me would love the irony of Barbs hating humans, but "helping" Dia with his outreach program anyway. With his time powers, he could sabotage it in all sorts of ways... Damn, I still wish this game had a villain... Oh well. I like sweet Barbs anyway. 😊

i don't know if i'm the only one but i've often wondered exactly how hard it was to convince julian mcmahon to stick around for season five. they took his character, a feared powerful half demon and made him into the butt of the joke and the whole joke was basically ha ha look at this lovestruck fool obsessing and suicidal because he's got nothing to live with but can't die. ain't that funny? like how the fuck did the writers sell that to julian is my question

i find the entirety of season five just so goddamn insulting to cole's character. hell the fact that he got possessed by the source and this was treated as him turning evil instead of a shitty situation that got out of hand. like it wasn't bad enough he was villified for something that he wasn't even in control of half the time they couldn't even just vanquish the dude, they dragged it on and ridiculed him. i hate it here

lol. i mean. yeah. i really. like. it's like. like okay we all know cole was a fan favorite right and he & phoebe were really meant to like. be the sex appeal to the show no one else was really filling that role they were charmed's Sexy Couple tm. so like. in a sense i get the notion ab wanting to keep him around. because everyone loves him! he's bad boy! he adds this dangerous edge love balancing on a knife's point stuff like that. so like. that being said. u wanna keep him around. i just like Do Not Get how you opt to keep him around Like That. tbh. as w all things. i am blaming brad kern. i think it all really started to tank s4 (well, with mortal cole, but like) with source cole. that was bad, but i know it was part of the push to have like long form season drama character driven plots conflict between the sisters themselves it just like. sucked ass and balls imo. like i mean the fact they had to do the source as a possession just so they could get demon cole and lover cole,,, i mean it speaks to how stupid it was. the fact that u wanted cole to be a villain So Bad but the only way to do it was like. possession? sign that u should not do that like. like. like. i don't know how we're supposed to feel ab that.

and then. the vanquish. not sticking. i think like. i think they probably had the vague idea that cole having a mortal soul would not be able to be vanquished properly right? like. demons get destroyed into nothingness, but the human part of him lives, so i think they probably knew that was what they were going to do, that's what they sold to jmm and like. we sowed those seeds in the s4 finale w his ghost whispers and materialization. so i think like. they knew they wanted to Not Kill Him because he was such a fan favorite. maybe there was an intention to do a will they won't they variant of phole? and then. of course. there was the whole idea of paige cole, which, as the rumor goes, was meant to kick of in the s5 pilot, but both julian and rose shut it down. but i feel like. assuming that's true (which i 100% do assume that's true absolutely and i'm not endorsing it i don't think it would have been good or well written or whatever but like. 👀. you know?) but yeah. assuming that's true, i feel like that piece really speaks to what their designs for cole were: man meat. he was meant to be their male sex appeal and they weren't going to be picky about the narrative itself as long as he was still kicking.

but like honestly? i mean i shouldn't have to say this it's a given: it's not enough to just put your sexy man in front of a camera and call it a day like imo even a man who is not sexy can be made appealing through the power of the narrative. like, to level with you, i never really ever shipped phole nor found cole attractive at all like ever, but i can see like the fucking support beams you know i can see the infrastructure on which this whole thing can you know take on a life of its own in the earlier seasons because they very consciously put it there!! people shipped it for a reason n not just because they were two people standing next to each other on a tv screen i mean hello almost sinking a dagger in her heart but can't do it sends her away back to her sisters because he can't act out on his evil plan!! that's something!!!! that's so very something and they gave us Nothing they gave us nothing in the later seasons. and still expected it to fly. like. tbh julian was probably just like unwittingly duped like dragged along for the ride s5 which is likely why he was vanquished halfway through because i'd imagine roughly three episode in he went okay! um. what's this? guys? what's this? and then they said cole<3 you know he like knew he had to get the hell outta dodge.

anyways. if i were to resuscitate phole in s5. which like. to level w u. i wouldn’t. because they would need a lot of one-on-one screentime and we already spent so much of s4 splitting up the sisterhood in the name of phole i wouldn’t really want to continue with that per se But. if i were. this ask is getting long it’s under a cut

something something demon of the week something something realms the point is cole is there when he very much shouldn’t be and like. he and phoebe get knocked into a different plane. so their bodies are fine and at the manor, but their minds are elsewhere and they need to solve whatever it is in order to get back. and we’ll say there’s a fuckin deadline because the girls need the power of three and right now they are sealed off from accessing it. and you know phoebe’s pretty fuckin pissed with cole because you know. he dragged her down to hell and she almost gave birth to the antichrist. actually source’s heir might be fun to keep around in this au idk. the point is phoebe’s pissed at cole and cole’s pissed at phoebe because phoebe’s pissed at him but he literally didn’t have control over himself in that era and he’s not getting the space he needs to justify himself because phoebe keeps stepping over him. but they gotta work together to get out of here. and were kinda doing enemies to lover 2.0 but like now they have History. of course we’ve gotta do a moment where cole has idk done something normal and phoebe’s so riled up that she does something rash and almost dies cole saves her like catches her bridal style or something faces inches apart breathing heavy and there’s a moment. like a we’re back in early s4 moment. which phoebe immediately breaks from and like walls going flying up but just for a moment there we see it it’s obvious: she’s still in love with cole. which then segues into an argument because like. cole wasn’t sure. right? he wasn’t sure if phoebe now just genuinely hated him. but now he knows right he knows better now so why are you acting like this? why are you taking every opportunity to shut me down to shut me out? why are you acting like you hate me when you know that’s not true right that whole thing to phoebe who gets the Classic because i do hate you. i hate you for what you did to me for what you did to my family and i hate you because i loved you so much and you destroyed me and i hate you because no matter how hard i try that love is still there and i know that for a second if i stop hating you i’m going to love you just like before and you can destroy me again and i hate myself because i’d let you because i love you. you know? big speech. big reveal. i have No Idea what piper and paige are up to right now. the point is. after this big confession we get the lull the cards are on the table what the fuck do we do now which is when cole Finally gets to opportunity to say he was actually possessed by the source and manipulated by the seer and the only thing that kept him holding on was his love for her and after she became queen of hell after he saw what the source had done to her he knew it had to end he doesn’t hold it against her for vanquishing him right this is where we exonerate all wrongs we’re just saying anything bad that has happened ever? scrub it. it’s the source’s fault. cole has no resentment against phoebe. he loves her a healthy, normal, non-possessive amount, so much so He Loves Her So Much he let her kill him and like honestly would probably do it again. idk and then they make out or something. and then they’re out of whatever plane they were in by the end of the episode. And Then we get a buddy cop episode with paige and cole where they bond and also sort through everything that happened there. slowly but surely. and then we do a real phole wedding a super small affair in the manor lowkey bc i hated their wedding episode it blowed we give them a good one. wallah <3
