wait, wheres the episode where charlie does the recruitment and vaggie talks to carmilla and chaggie talks about the angel thing? did i miss it?

No you didnt miss anything haha!!

I have a LOT of ideas on that whole ordeal and I realized that conveying it the style that I did for the Welcome to Heaven/Dishonored Guests and the Finale (writing it out and drawing pictures to go along with it) would probably make it more confusing than clear

So I decided that IF I'm gonna do it, I wanna WRITE IT, like a fanfic!

This is mainly bc I wanted to REALLY stretch that whole thing out. like the problems between Charlie and Vaggie at that point, at least in this rewrite, isn't gonna be solved in one episode/day.

The fanfic would take place over the course of MONTHS in-universe!

It would more than likely be structured like THIS (one chapter detailing their relationship progress/rebuilding over the course of a few months😋)

(ooooor maybe I'll break it up into chapters?? Idk yet! and this is IF I do it.......................)

stefan walks through the gilbert house with a bouquet in his hand, along with a pink heart shaped balloon and a card in his other hand. there’s definitely a bigger present but that’s a surprise so he’s being simple this morning. he walks up the steps & leans against her doorframe, actual genuine smile on his face. his head tilts to the side, so it’s against the frame as well, smile never faltering. “ happiest of birthdays to you, ms. gilbert. there’s more to come, after caroline and bonnie have the day with you. ”

ㅤㅤthe sight of him, along with his smile, causes a bright smile to light her own face in response. ❛❛ why, thank you, mr. salvatore, ❜❜ she says playfully, skipping over to him and wrapping her arms around his waist. ❛❛ aw, you got me flowers! and the balloon is so cute. ❜❜ she eyes the card, burning with curiosity at what's written inside. she rests her chin on his chest, gazing up at him with a soft expression. ❛❛ uh-oh, do care and bonnie have something planned that i should be worried about? ❜❜ faux concern paints her expression before her joy breaks through again. ❛❛ are just the two of us going to do something, too? ❜❜

Fun Fact: Hognose snakes are dramatic lil guys!

I am particularly fond of the snakes known as hognose snakes, and my reasons are both understandable and correct.

This is a hognose snake:

(They received their name by having the sweetest lil snoot to ever require a boop – image source)

They use these adorable snoots to burrow under sandy soil using a sort of nuzzle-y motion. They then use these burrows as a place to sleep at night, hibernate in the winter, and lay their eggs. 

(you could say they’re into... the Underground Scene! ...ok yeah i’ll show myself out – image source)

Plus, they come in a variety of delightful colours!

We've got brown! Beige! Yellow! Black! Red! Orange! Tan! Kinda greenish! Orange again!

(pretty sneks! – Here’s all the image sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

And, to be clear, the snakes pictured above are wild snakes. No selective breeding by humans in these noodly bois! At least, not in these specific individuals. probably. I guess a few of them could be escapees... 

But most importantly: These snakes know the true meaning of DRAMA

Hognose snakes are actors, first and foremost. When they feel threatened, the first thing they do is puff out their neck into a hood. 

(like cobras, this hood is made by FLEXING THEIR NECK RIBS. which: gross – image source x)

This superficially makes them look like a cobra, but what they’re actually trying to do is make themselves seem bigger, and therefore scarier. Possibly those dark spots on their neck helps with that! 

Any resemblance to real-life Eurasian cobras, real or fictional, is purely coincidental

Also, it makes its mouth do this:

(Snakes that SCREAAAAAAAM. – image source)

honestly, if I didn’t already know that hognose snakes were harmless, this would ABSOLUTELY make me leave it the hell alone 

But if all of that^ is unsuccessful at scaring away the predator, the hognose snake pulls its signature move: playing dead

If you think that is a lame signature move, then you are wrong, because hognose snakes put EVERYTHING into their performance and I love them for it.

(they’re serious, they’ll do it!  – image source)

((I’m actually going to stick the rest of this under a read-more, bc the pictures of the alive-and-physically-fine hognose snakes do kind of look like a legitimately-dead hognose snake, if you don’t know what to look for. 

So, uh: cw for a snake being too good at pretending to be dead))

Behold: a series of completely healthy, unharmed snakes!!!

(to help with their self-esteem, we ask that you at least pretend to believe that they are dead – image sources 1, 2, 3, 4)

Honestly, the photos don’t do it justice. Here’s my favourite video of the whole wonderous performance: 

undefined

But to review:

There's writhing! There's dramatic noises! There's flipping onto their back and opening their mouth wide and letting their tongue hang out! There's excreting a combination of  intentionally smelly substances!!! Truly a master of the art of being left the hell alone (*^▽^*)

(yep. deeeeefinitely dead. not just faking it. nothing worth eating here! – image source)

Personally, my favourite part of this is how they insist on rolling onto their back, even when they are rolled back onto their stomach. 

Seriously, if you try to roll them right-side-up, they will flip back over. It's as though they believe that a good, proper dead snek MUST be on its back, obviously.

(truly fearsome – image source)

Sadly, the hognose snake may have made itself too scary, according to humans.

Out of fear, these snakes are commonly killed on sight 😔. I once heard someone proudly brag about how they’d killed a dozen cobras! In southern Ontario! Where cobras do not live! This is both extremely frustrating and deeply sad.

(safe enough to hold! although maybe don’t, just because this snake IS probably experiencing mortal fear, which is not a good feeling – image source © Dean Stavrides)

So just to highlight: hognose snakes are completely harmless. They’re just pretending to be fearsome!

(not that people should be killing venomous snakes either, imo. Let the danger noodles LIVE THEIR LIVES)

(i is baybee, pls do not hurt me – image source)

And now some bonus facts to help raise us out of that downer:

Hognose snakes are toad specialists! Their favourite food is toads, which is unusual, because toads are poisonous. Hognose snakes deal with this by force of will and also, at least two amino acid substitutions, maybe (Mohammadi et al. 2016). Possibly a few other things help with this, also (Feldman et al. 2016).

(is snek eat toad? or does toad wearing cape of snek? impossible to tell, really – image source)

Also, I have a confession: hognose snakes... are venomous. Technically.

(itty bitty little fangs at the veeeeery back of their mouth!  – image source)

They are known as rear-fanged snakes, which means they have fangs aaaall the way at the back of their mouth. The venom they produce seems to be toad-specific, and is considered to be harmless to humans unless you happen to have an allergy but that's the exception rather than the rule

(the two hognose species. They are both baybee, but in different ways actually there might be more than two species but these are the two i’ve actually learned about so ALL WELL   – image source)

Also, hognose snakes are big cowards NOT aggressive and I've never even heard of anyone getting bit by a one (outside of one feeding mishap, which we can all agree was an ACCIDENT). 

The series of events that would need to occur for you to be envenomated are so unlikely and bizarre that I assume you would have to be TRYING to get bit.

This has been Fun Fact Friday, bringing you the forbidden noodly boys to try and keep them a little more safe!

Stripper songs (Obey Me!)

minors/ageless/blank blogs dni or get blocked :c

HC: songs I imagine your fave demon dancing to at a club that he somehow secretly ended up working at.

This was a self indulgent shitpost I guess lol. I also have a [stripper mc and their reaction] somewhere in my notes.

P.s. do you know how hard it was to not list just Lady Gaga songs

anyway, song names = youtube, artists = spotify instead. In case anyone bored was curious to check some out.

Lucifer: Secrets - P!nk

I imagine him absolutely killing it with this song. Its mesmerizing. Patrons can't take their eyes off this sexy mysterious dancer. They came for fun and left wanting to know more about him. If you see him, you'll spend all you got. No regrets.

Mammon: Mood Swings - Pop Smoke, Lil Tjay

...this song is so dirty and I love it. I always hc he has this song on his playlist whenever I listen to this song. Like, you can't take this away from me. Anyway he's a crowd favorite especially when he dances to this. I also loved the beginning of Glamorous by Fergie bc its definitely something he would choose to play.

Levi: With Love - Hilary Duff

He's cute and sexy on stage. I know he's shaking his ass and hips in such a cute way, he's moving just right. The crowd goes while for this cutie, his interactions are to die for. He treats his regulars well.😭

Alternatively I love the idea of him completely switching to a stage persona and throwing it back and twerking to Bad Ass Bitches by Wiz Khalifa. 😭

Satan: Rude Boy - Rihanna

I thought this one was fun. It's got a lot of energy and I'd die if I saw him dance to this in some sexy kitty costume.

Asmo: Telephone - Lady Gaga

This is the one. This one is perfect. This one just screams Asmo to me. I 100% know he strips to this song.

Beel: Lollipop - Lil Wayne

What a fucking classic, throwback frrrrrr.

God this big cutie knows how to rile the crowd. He knows what he's got. I wanna see him strip so bad. If I could animate this- nvm. You guys wouldn't see me ever again. alakskalslfkgsl

Belphie: The Hills - The Weeknd

He takes his time and you still think it's way too short. The way he winks and he slowly grinds his hips near your face...

I'm not even a belphie stan y'all but this hc makes him a little more tolerable now. You saw it here first guys, my possible belphie redemption arc. AHAHAHA.

Diavolo: Paparazzi - Lady Gaga

He's working that pole. * Working it.* He is bringing that energy. He's making the crowd fall in love with him. He's coming off cute and sexy.

Barbatos: Casual Affair - Panic! At The Disco

I'M FUCKING SCREAAAAAAAMING.💥💥💥

THIS. THIS IS THE SONG BARB WOULD DANCE TO.

Oh your eyes are completely glued to him. Oh he's taking his tie off. He wraps it around you. You cannot look away. He knows it.

You end the night penniless.

For shits and giggles, Simeon: Unholy - Sam Smith 😌

[bougiebutchbitch]

i'm catching up on the dash so i'm eight hours back in your blog, but anyway. i love the idea of fang on deck like "LOOK WHAT IZZY GAVE ME!!1!~" and everyone's like ooohh what did he give you because he's given some people some gifts now like lucius's shark and the glove he gave to jim or whatever so they're thinking like. an object. and then he starts pointing out all his hickeys and friction marks and welts and they're like oh. oh damn congrats man. shit.

SCREAAAAAAAM YES

Izzy is blushy, nigh squirmy at the thought of everyone knowing what he and Fang got up to. But, as this is post-S2, he's not horrified to the point of threatening to murder the lot of them for daring to see that he has a tender side. Maybe, after a little bit of teasy ribbing, he realises they're not laughing at him/trying to make him feel small, but actually being really encouraging? Just like Fang knew they would? And Fang's stood there, adorned in his marks, grinning so warmly at him, and Izzy feels all warm too and he doesn't know how to handle it but he's trying to get better at this sort of thing, dammit.

So obviously he marches over to Fang, clears his throat, and pushes up on his tiptoes for a kiss while everyone OOOOOOOOHS

[spacebeyonce]
