Meryl Streep being the queen of fashion as Miranda Priestly
Tumblr media
Gird your loins !
Perhaps the best line in the entire movie :
Miranda Priestly : “Details of your incompetence do not interest me.”
(I feel like telling a lot of people that myself, actually.)
Nota bene : Meme created by Razz : © Razz 2025 — The previously existing materials belong to their respective owner(s). It’s the recreation that I am pinpointing here.

In 500 years' time, if students are forced to analyse my books in college, I'm going to give them such a headache. Whenever a future English professor reads my work and says, 'The curtains were black to subtlely hint at the main character's grief and depression', my ghost, or the android housing my consciousness when my human body expires is gonna appear next to them like, 'OMG, I can't believe you got that reference!'

So I had some idiot intrusive thought because some dickhead in some show I had on a few days ago spat out the cliche retort: "Yeah, well people in hell want ice water". And IDK I know I've heard it a thousand times but it irked me at the time and I chalked it up to 1) it's trite 2) I guess YMMV but I usually only hear it used very callously.
But apparently that wasn't the end of the analysis because it would not leave my mind and the infinite melodrama/shitpost generator that is my brain finally hit some traction tonight: it feels like being talked down to in a way I have decided is entirely unearned because "it shows such a pedestrian view of everything and, frankly, I won't be condescended to by someone who doesn't even have the class and artistic flair to default to Inferno for their mental image of hell."
Anyway, then I made this:

Proposing to the KC! LIs
Finally, after a few months with the serial killers, it seems you have found true love with one of them! Are you brave enough to propose and bare the "consequences", or just curious how would they react?
Tumblr media
Misaki Katsuo, the Silly and Chaotic Reaper
Misaki is an absolute gremlin, if you ever think that proposing to them will be romantic and graceful, you're dead wrong.
Places: A rooftop overlooking the city night. We all know Misaki loves the thrill of being high up, and with the city lights below, it feels like a moment stolen from a dream. You propose while they were laughing at some dumb joke, completely catching them off guard.
Reaction: The second you reveal the ring, Misaki completely freezes. Their chaotic, silly expression fades as their hands tremble, maybe even skipped a bit of heart. Of course, her entire life has been about survival, constantly running and killing for money. No one has ever asked her to stay before.
Putting on the ring: She would try to make jokes to calm herself down: "Damn, Y/N, you're really tryna wife up an assassin? Bold." But her voice cracks as you slipped on the ring and she’s crying before even realizing it. Misaki would insist they don't need a ring that fancy and will try to sell it. But if you got them a ring from a gacha machine? They would wear it everywhere, dead serious, just like the menace she is.
Answer: "You're a dumbass. But you're my dumbass now. So yeah… let's do it." (She definitely isn't hugging the air out of you while sobbing)
Sillies: + First text to SlaughterHouse? "LOOKS WHO'S JUST GOT CUFFED!!!" + "Babe, we gotta get a weapon matching this. A wedding-themed knife set?" + Expect a hyperactive Misaki for the next few days because if they stop they will cry again, oh and let's also mention the millions of marriage memes coming up
Tumblr media
Angel/Maria de la Rosa, the Maneating Perfectionist
Angel is elegance, charm, and perfection wrapped in a gorgeous, deadly package. If you think you can propose without making it an unforgettable moment, think again.
Places: A special day, maybe she got promoted, you two went out for a fancy restaurant. You surprise her by slipping the ring into her champagne glass. She was probably thinking about her own proposal plans: “I’ll do it in Paris, or maybe under the northern lights…” when she noticed the ring, time just stopped.
Reaction: Every step of Angel's life has been carefully planned, dedicated to perfection and control. But this? This was never part of the script. She tries to speak, but for once, words failed her. She would try to stare at your face, searching for some signs of a cruel joke. But there's no deception, just you, offering her something she never dared to dream of, something real.
Putting on the ring: Angel trembles as she admires the ring, not for its value, but because you chose it, just for her. The moment it's slid onto her finger, a soft, breathless laugh escapes, like she can’t believe it’s real. She’ll insist she isn’t crying, but her ruined makeup says otherwise. And if the ring was custom-made? She’ll never take it off—because nothing has ever felt more right.
Answer: "Heaven exists, and it’s right here, in your arms. You’re the only person I’d ever consider going fully vegetarian for. So yes, mi amour, let’s give them something unforgettable" (She’s already planning the wedding down to the last detail.)
Sillies: + First text to SlaughterHouse: "Breaking news: I SAID YES! (And no, I will not be commenting on allegations of Y/N stealing my heart.)" + "I swear, if I ever miss a shot again, I'm blaming it on this ring. Too beautiful to not look at." + Casually flexes her ring in every situation, taking a sip of coffee? Ring in full view. Kissing you? Oh, she definitely tilts her hand just right for the perfect shot.
Tumblr media
Ronin Beaufort, the Devil’s Poet of Purgatory
Ronin is a devil dressed in charm, a poet who spills verses like blood. A proposal to him isn’t just about love, it’s about defying god and fate themselves.
Places: "The Purgatory" of course, maybe after a gory kill and he's drenched, pumping with adrenaline. The place where his past sins linger, where the devil in him reigns. And yet, here you are, turning it into something sacred.
Reaction: For once, Ronin is speechless, trying to process if this is real or some prank. He’s spent his whole life running from ghosts of his past, his sins, the shadows of who he’s become. But you? You’re standing there, unwavering, refusing to run. He would definitely get tensed, as if he’s afraid he might lose this moment, lose you: “Darlin’, I ain’t even dead yet, and you already tryna claim my last name?”
Putting on the ring: When you slide it on, Ronin would definitely smirsk: "A wedding ring, huh? Guess that means I’m officially off the market." If you got him a ring with a hidden blade or devil engraving? He’s obsessed but acts like it’s no big deal. He might wear it around his neck at first but when it's on, it's ON.
Answer: "Tsck… You really just tied yourself to the devil, darlin’. If this is a sin, baby, then let me burn for you. Hope you’re ready for a lifetime of crime and bad poetry, ‘cause I ain’t letting you go." (Then he yanks you into a kiss, rough and desperate.)
Sillies: + "Babe, hear me out, matching crowbars engraved with our anniversary date. Just think about it." + Will 100% lean against a wall, flash his ring, and smirk at strangers like: "Single? Couldn’t be me." + First text to SlaughterHouse: "It seems a certatin someone actually looked at me and said, ‘Yeah, I wanna deal with that forever.’ Wild. Also, taking bets on how long it takes before Y/N realizes they made a mistake. Place your wagers wisely."
Tumblr media
Valentin Viljoen, the Vigilante with Ice cold Heart
Valentin is a man of structure, morality, and control. But love? Love is unpredictable. Love is terrifying. And yet, here you are, asking him to embrace it.
Places: A short walk near the forest together. Soft golden light shines through the leaves and the scent of flowers linger in the air, truly a part of the Garden of Eden brought alive, where love can bloom freely.
Reaction: Valentin freezes. His mind races, but for once, there is no logical path forward, no neatly laid-out plan. He doesn't react immediately. No sharp breath, no wide-eyed shock, just silence. His whole life has been spent carrying the weight of a protector, the unwavering force of justice. And yet, here you are, asking him to be something else. To be selfish. To be yours.
Putting on the ring: His hands have always been steady in battle and in every aspect of his life, except for now. They tremble as you take his hand, slipping the ring onto his finger. His breath goes unsteady as he turns his hand over, inspecting the way it fits: perfect, inevitable, like it was always meant to be there.
Answer: "Marriage isn’t just a promise. It’s a contract. A duty. A vow I will never break. And I would be honored to spend my life upholding it with you." (He has already acquired a legal marriage paper by now)
Sillies: + “Y/N, does this mean I have to plan the wedding? Because if so, I have prepared a highly efficient multi-tab spreadsheet.” + The first thing he sends: a picture of the marriage certificate, of course... + Has to resist the urge to immediately update his legal documents. ("Should I change my emergency contact to you? Do I list you as my primary benefactor? Actually, give me a moment...")
P/S: I hope everyone had a nice time proposing <3

๋࣭ ⭑𓆩✧𓆪🗡ྀ࿔ 〖 and other stories . . . 〗 a collection of dialogue + action prompts inspired by angela carter's the bloody chamber and other stories. some prompts usfw. add +reversed for the muse receiving the meme to perform the action instead. adjust details as necessary.
dialogue :
are you sure you want to marry him?
oh! how you must want me!
soon.
i had never been vain until i met you.
anticipation is the greater part of pleasure.
all the better to see you.
what is that key? the key to your heart?
every man must have one secret, even if only one, from his wife.
all is yours, everywhere is open to you.
but now... what shall i do now?
my darling, i cannot wait for the moment when you make me yours completely.
there is a striking resemblance between the act of love and the ministrations of a torturer.
you are in some great distress.
any bride brought to a castle should come ready dressed in mourning.
oh god. i can smell the blood.
i thought all these were old wives' tales, chattering of fools, spooks to scare bad children into good behavior!
can't it wait until morning, my darling?
who can say what i deserve or no?
i've done nothing; but that may be sufficient reason for condemning me.
i have a place prepared for your exquisite corpse upon my display of flesh.
good fellow? i am no good fellow.
forgive me for robbing your garden!
all she wanted, in the whole world, was one white, perfect rose.
and what else was there to be done?
they are the death of any tender herbivore.
so late! you will want sleep.
you will come back to me? it will be lonely here, without you.
i will come back. soon, before the winter is over.
i am sick and i must die.
if you'll have me, i'll never leave you.
i think i might be able to manage a little breakfast today.
i have lost my pearl, my pearl beyond price.
if you are so careless of your treasure, you should expect them to be taken from you.
for all my pride, my heart is heavy.
if you wish to give me money, then i should be pleased to receive it.
i shall twist a noose out of my bed linen and hang myself with it.
you are a woman of honor.
nothing human lives here.
we have dispensed with servants.
take off my clothes for you, like a ballet girl? is that all you want of me?
all cats are cynics.
you read my thoughts, my love.
the woods enclose. the wood swallows you up.
all will fall still, all lapse.
it is easy to lose yourself in these woods.
i thought that nobody was in the wood but me.
there are some eyes can eat you.
sometimes the birds, at random, all singing, strike a chord.
eat me, drink me.
dive in and fetch it for me.
now you are at the place of annihilation.
and she is herself a cave full of echoes, she is a system of repetitions, she is a closed circuit.
can a bird sing only the song it knows or can it learn a new song?
beauty is a symptom of disorder, of soullessness.
a single kiss woke up the sleeping beauty in the wood.
be he alive or be he dead.
coffee. you must have coffee.
welcome. welcome to my chateau.
i rarely receive visitors and that's a misfortune since nothing animates me half as much as the presence of a stranger.
this place is so lonely.
now the village is deserted.
often i am so silent that i think i, too, will soon forget how to do so and nobody will ever talk any more.
i must apologize for the lack of light.
you have such a fine throat, like a column of marble.
i am condemned to solitude and dark.
i do not mean to hurt you.
i will be very gentle.
and could love free me from the shadows?
i've been waiting for you in my wedding dress, why have you delayed for so long.
you will feel no pain, my darling.
so delicate and damned, poor thing. quite damned.
the end of exile is the end of being.
it is a northern country; they have cold weather, they have cold hearts.
the devil is as real as you or i.
do not leave the path.
you are always in danger in the forest.
they are as unkind as plague.
fear and flee the wolf; for, worst of all, the wolf may be more than he seems.
besides, aren't you afraid of the wolves?

clasp. from behind, the sender places their hands over the receiver's eyes.

it's very sweet of you to still do requests <3 make sure you're not pushing yourself though!! if it's not too much to ask, a general (platonic) bonding time with the main 4 in killer chat with a mc who's like everyone's favorite friend? Btw, i love the new layout!! Diabolik Lovers fans unite!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thank you so much! I love Diabolik lovers, so much. I hate it!
Tumblr media
Ronin Beaufort
Ronin likes people, but he loves you. You’re his absolute favorite to mess with, and he’s constantly teasing and flirting—not because he expects a reaction, but because he loves how effortlessly you keep up with him.
He lets you in on all his schemes, whether it’s stirring up chaos in the chat, baiting V into an argument, or getting Angel to play referee. "C’mon, babe, I KNOW you wanna see me piss off ol’ vigilante boy. It’s for SCIENCE."
Unlike with most people, Ronin cares what you think. If you tell him to chill out (rare as that is), he might actually listen—though he’ll grumble about it dramatically the whole time.
If you’re into dark humor? You two are UNSTOPPABLE. The inside jokes between you are horrendous, and Angel has begged you both to stop making murder puns at least five times today.
Would he kill for you? Absolutely. But what’s more terrifying is that he’d kill with you, and that’s an honor not even Angel gets anymore.
Tumblr media
Angel
Angel ADORES you. You’re her favorite person to dote on, and she is always hyping you up. "Look at them! Have you ever seen someone so perfect? No, you haven’t. I win. Case closed."
When Ronin starts getting a little too Ronin, she’ll pull you into her lap, shielding you dramatically. "Ignore the devil, he feeds on attention."
You guys have the best gossip sessions. She tells you all the juicy drama from the modeling world, and in return, she expects every single detail about your life. "Who do you like? You can tell me. I won’t tell anyone. (Unless you want me to.)"
Will 100% buy you gifts for no reason. "You liked that necklace one time? BOOM, it’s yours." She claims it’s just because she loves gift-giving, but really, she just wants to spoil you.
If anyone dares to disrespect you? Oh, she’s got that soft, sweet smile—but her eyes are all sharp edges. "Would you like me to handle it, darling? I’d be happy to."
Tumblr media
V
You’re one of the very few people V willingly spends time with, and that speaks volumes. He tries to act like he doesn’t play favorites, but the second you talk to him, his whole demeanor shifts.
While he’s usually distant with others, he listens to you. When you talk, he’s fully present—no interruptions, no dismissive remarks, just quiet, genuine focus.
If you have a problem? It is now his problem. "Who. Where. When." He doesn’t ask if you want him to intervene—he’s already planning how to handle it.
He never says he enjoys your company, but the way he always makes room for you, subtly ensures you’re safe, and actually laughs at your dumbest jokes? Yeah. He likes you.
If you manage to get him to actually relax and have fun, it’s a BIG deal. (Misaki caught him smiling once while you were around and has never let him live it down.)
Tumblr media
Misaki
Misaki sees you as their partner-in-crime. You guys have the best energy together, bouncing off each other with ease.
They send you the wildest memes at 3 AM, knowing you’ll appreciate them. (Ronin steals them. V sighs. Angel is concerned.)
Has a million pet names for you. "My little crime buddy! My tiny menace! My favorite accomplice!"
They LOVE to drag you into impulsive adventures. "Hey. Let’s go get boba and then sneak into an abandoned building." Do you even have a choice? No. You do not.
Will talk at you for hours about music, fashion, and conspiracy theories, and expects full engagement. (If you humor them, congrats, you’ve earned their undying loyalty.)
You’re the only one they’ll let borrow their clothes. This is a HUGE honor. (Ronin tried once and got threatened with a knife.)
Group Dynamics
You are the ONLY reason the chat doesn’t fully descend into chaos. (It still does, just slightly less when you’re there.)
Everyone wants to spend time with you, and it turns into an actual battle sometimes. (Angel and Misaki physically dragging you away from Ronin before he corrupts you further. V rolling his eyes but not-so-subtly waiting for his turn.)
Somehow, you’re the only person who can get Ronin and V to agree on anything. Even if it’s just agreeing that you’re the only tolerable one in the chat.
You could literally get away with murder in front of them, and their reactions would range from "Nice form, babe" (Ronin) to "That was inefficient, but I respect it" (V).
At the end of the day, no matter how different they all are, they all care about you. If anything happened to you? Oh, the world should be afraid.

Okay, I'm about to step on some toes, but hear me out; I need to do it. Okay? Good.
There's a lot of funny 'Girl what were you doing at devil's sacrament' jokes and memes, and isolated from context, it's very funny, I know it's funny, it's 'telling on yourself haha' because you had to be participating in a 'bad activity' in order to catch someone else who was also there.
However I know the original context, and it's less funny if you do. Why would a woman say she saw another woman at the Devil's Sacrament, incriminating both herself and another woman, who would both then get burned alive? I know why.
I'm going to take you back to my childhood, where I was reading every book I could get my little hands on, and one of these books was called 'Grička Vještica', or 'Grič's Witch'. These were fictional books set in the age of witch burnings, and the main character gets accused of being a witch. Even if the characters are fictional, the historical places, events and laws were real. The main characters ends up locked in a tower with the other accused 'witches', and there she finds women who were horrifically, unspeakably tortured. I won't go into what happened to them, but their limbs were ripped, their bodies shutting down from pain, they were begging for death. What happened to their bodies was described in detail, and to the child me, it was traumatic to hear about it, it created a heavy fear in my heart, that something like that could even happen, to any human being.
The books gave some insight of what was happening during the torture, and the torturers were leading these women to not only confess to their own 'witchraft' under torture, but to incriminate other women. And if they wouldn't, the torture would get worse and worse. And human beings break after a certain point of torture. They'll do and say anything. They had already confessed to being witches under torture, and now they were facing more torture + death by burning, or just to die in fire without further mutilation, if they talk.
Torturers usually already had their minds set on a certain woman they wanted to incriminate; women with medical skills, money, estate, land, women who wronged them, rejected them, who had rejected or angered their friends, whose houses or land they wanted to claim, widows, unmarried women, anyone they wanted to eject from society, whose assets they wanted to harvest. All they needed to do was brutally torture (and often, sexually torture) the women in front of them, until they were willing to say 'Yes, okay, I saw her at the devil's sacrament' and they could have whatever they wanted.
It was done under the worst agony the human being could experience.
So whenever I read one of the memes, that's what I remember, because I know how it happened. For it to be used in feminist jokes... we could find another funny instance to use? What were you doing at the furry convention? Or something like that, that doesn't reference women being tortured. We could reference something silly and non-consequential. I mean, I hope we would want to.
I'm sorry to ruin your jokes! I feel like the women from the past wouldn't love us using that either, and they're not around, so I have to speak up for them.

Tumblr media
Purgatory looked like the DMV. 
You should have expected it, honestly. Wasn’t it represented as some type of waiting room in Beetlejuice? Or maybe you were misremembering. Ever since you’d stepped through the front doors, your mind felt foggy. When you looked back through the windows, no parking lot met your gaze. Instead, a soft gray haze was pressed against the glass, causing a bit of condensation to gather. 
How had you gotten here? 
The answer to that seemed a bit foggy, too. 
“Are you going to take a fucking number or just stand there like an idiot?” 
The bristled voice shocked you into action. Stepping forward, you ripped a number tag from the stand directly in front of the door and moved to the side for the voice behind you. A few droplets of water splattered against your ankles when the person reached for their tag. 
You suppressed a gasp. 
She was completely soaked, so wet that she left a trail of water wherever she walked, like some kind of snail or slug. It was difficult to tell what her original complexion was because her skin was now a deep turquoise. Bits of twigs and what looked like seaweed twisted into her hair. 
You followed the stranger’s water trail through the folding chairs lining the large waiting room. The speckled brown carpet squished beneath your sneakers. A bit of water was leaking inside to wet your socks. 
“Number 746!” 
A robotic voice beeped out the number over the speakers just as you sank into an empty folding chair. A man with large, dirty bandages wrapped around his head and over one eye stood from his seat beside you. He clutched a folder of papers to his chest and limped to the counter at the front of the room. 
Three people in matching black professional uniforms sat behind the counter. You thought they resembled bank tellers from how they were spread out with glass barriers separating each person’s portion of the counter. The first two employees sat too far away to make out important details of their faces, but the third was only a few feet away from you. 
He was easily the most beautiful person you’d ever seen in your life. The sharp cut of his jawline and the thin length of his nose slicing through high cheekbones and deep-set eyes made it difficult for you to pull your gaze away from him. Luckily, he was none the wiser of your ogling, for his attention was spent on assisting the person standing in front of the counter. You were free to marvel at his angular features, eventually shifting your eyes from the bow of his lips to examine some of his gentler features. His hair was dark like his outfit and fell soft against his forehead. Poking out of the layered waves were two thick… horns. 
You pressed your thumbs into your eyes, but when you moved them away the horns remained. 
They twisted at the tips, spiraling in opposite directions. A swirling pattern was etched into each of them. It reminded you of fingerprints. 
“Number 749!” 
You glanced down at the crumbled tag in your hand. 749. 
With a sigh, you trudged up to the counter and stood in front of the beautiful man with twisted horns poking out of dark, luscious hair. 
“I need an official form of identification and your death certificate.” 
You stared at him blankly. 
“An official form of identification and your death certificate,” he repeated with more force. 
“I… don’t have a death certificate.” 
Were you dead? How had you died? How could you have possibly received a death certificate if you were dead? You assumed your mother would have it; that was how things went, right? 
The name badge clipped to his shirt read Hoseok, Assistant Manager. Assistant Manager of what? Purgatory?? What in the fuck was going on. 
Hoseok turned to the computer sitting off to the side of his desk. 
“What is your full name and date of birth?” 
You gave him the information he was looking for and leaned forward to watch him tap away at the keyboard. What appeared to be a profile of you flashed across the screen. There was a photo of you, the one from your driver’s license. A few stats about you like your height and where you were born. Toward the bottom of the screen in large red block letters read TIME OF DEATH. You were pretty sure the date was recent, but you didn’t know what day it was currently. Before you could read further, Hoseok closed out the page. 
“I need you to come with me,” Hoseok said abruptly. He gestured for you to step around the counter. 
You took a look over your shoulder. No one else needed to go behind the counter, as far as you could tell. Although, you hadn’t paid much attention to the other people waiting for… whatever it was everyone was doing here. You still didn’t know. 
With a nervous inhale that tickled your throat, you followed the… man? Whatever he was, through a door marked for employees only. 
(So they were called employees. Hence the Assistant Manager badge, and all. What the fuck kind of job was this?)
Scurrying behind him to catch up with his long gait, you noticed that this person was tall. Like, impossibly tall. Come to think of it, it wasn’t just his height that was staggering. Everything about his presence seemed larger than life, like the very walls of the hallway needed to shift and expand to accommodate the power radiating off of him as he walked. You kept your eyes trained on his lean shoulders, watching the way his shoulder blades and back muscles made his shirt ripple when he breathed or turned around the corner. 
“Ahem.” You cleared your throat. 
Silence. 
“Ahem.” 
You did a little skip to speed up your walking and finally fell in line with the man. You flashed him what you’d consider an award-winning grin. 
“Hoseok, right? You’re really fucking tall.” 
He glanced down at you out of the corner of his eye. 
So, a man of few words. Unless he was snapping at you about IDs and death certificates. Apparently. 
“Where are we going?” 
Hoseok immediately halted, catching you by surprise and nearly causing you to trip. 
“Here.” With an outstretched arm, Hoseok opened the door to a simple office. He held it for you as you crossed the threshold. 
“Please, take a seat.” 
You eased into one of the chairs in front of the desk, which Hoseok sat behind once he snapped the door shut. The fabric scratched into the back of your legs. 
Up close, Hoseok was even more breathtaking. You found that the horns weren’t as much of a creepy turnoff as you may have initially thought. Somehow, paired with the shimmering red tint to his eyes and the slits he had instead of proper circular pupils, you were rather turned on by this… otherworldly look he had going for him. It was spooky, in an “emo kid who works at Hot Topic and thinks Happy Tree Friends is edgy” kind of way. So… not spooky at all. Just endearing to the part of your brain where you’d locked up all your teen angst. 
“Do you know why you’re here?” 
You watched a transparent film slide sideways across Hoseok’s eyes and you realized he blinked with a third eyelid. 
Weird, but kind of hot. Fuck conventional beauty standards! You could dig it.  
“Because a handsome stranger brought me here?” You took a shot in the dark, though Hoseok didn’t appear to have followed you. He stared at you with his third eyelid and his slitted pupils and his sharpened teeth. 
Wow, he had really pointy teeth. 
“You’re here because…” Hoseok drummed his fingers against the surface of his desk. His nails were black and chipped. “You were never reaped.” 
“Reaped? Like, the Grim Reaper?” 
A low hiss came from the back of Hoseok’s throat. The sound made your skin prickle. 
“The Grim Reaper is not real.” His voice slithered out of his mouth at the same time his tongue did. It was red and forked. “You were supposed to be reaped by one of us when you died,” he gestured to himself, “a demon.” 
Well, obviously he was a demon. Or else he had a great sense of fashion. 
You leaned forward to rest your arms on Hoseok’s desk. If he thought his freaky tongue and animalistic eyes were going to scare you, he was terribly wrong. You’d been on Vampirefreaks.com back when it was still a social media platform. 
“Listen, Hoseokie. Can I call you Hoseokie?” Silence. “I don’t know why I’m here and I don’t know how I got here, but I promise you, I am not dead.” 
With a sigh, Hoseok flipped open the laptop on his desk. After a few moments of typing, he slid it toward you, adjusting the screen to make it easier for you to see. 
There was your profile again. Hoseok quickly scrolled down to the section you hadn’t gotten to read earlier, the part about when you’d died. 
“In my records, it states you are dead. As of,” he turned the screen toward himself for a moment, “As of 7 PM yesterday. Yet there is no record of how you died, where you died, nor which demon escorted you here. And no death certificate on file.” 
Clearly, the missing death certificate situation had rubbed the guy the wrong way. 
Maybe you should have felt more concerned that you had a snake-eyed self-proclaimed demon trying to convince you that you were dead and chilling out in Purgatory unchaperoned. But this was all fake, obviously. A dream. There was nothing to worry about. 
“I don’t know what to tell you, Hoseokie.” You gave the man - demon - a shrug. 
Hoseok’s eyebrows pulled toward each other, causing the skin on his forehead to crease. 
“Well, I suppose it doesn’t matter.” 
“Oh really?” 
Hoseok pursed his lips and gave you a curt nod. 
“It already states here that you’ll be going to Hell, so I may as well just reap you myself since no one else has. I need to go downstairs anyway. We’ve been getting a high volume of damned souls recently and working overtime can be sustainable for only so long…” 
Whatever else Hoseok had to say about “demon burnout” during a time when debauchery was at its highest on Earth (“Aside from the 70s, wow, the 70s was a time.”), you didn’t hear the rest of it. There were more important things to worry about. 
You were going to Hell. 
“Wait, wait, wait, Hoseokie, wait a minute.” You curled your fingers around the edge of his laptop screen. “I’m going to Hell? For what?! I have done nothing wrong, ever, in my life.” 
This was the part where Hoseok was supposed to say, “I know this, and I love you.” 
Except he didn’t! The bastard just let his gorgeous mouth hang open and flicked his freaky forked tongue over those pearly fangs. 
“I beg to differ.” 
“How would you know?” 
A small smirk flitted across Hoseok’s face and you felt your stomach twist into knots. 
“Your memories, your experiences, your life - none of that belongs to you.” 
You couldn’t tell which was more unnerving, the words he said or the dark tone he said them in. With a shiver, you chose to ignore whatever riddle he was speaking to you in and tried to change your strategy. 
“Hoseokie, baby.” You ran your perfectly normal tongue along your lips and leaned even further into your companion’s personal space - as much as you could with a desk in between you. “Let’s not get carried away here.” 
“Proper protocol was not followed, so we must rectify that,” Hoseok huffed. His shoulders sagged slightly, causing him to lean inward. Maybe your cute nickname was finally breaking him. 
“Do we really?” 
“Yes.” 
“But, really? Hoseokie, babe, do I look like I belong in Hell?” 
The demon blinked with his third eyelid a few times. You watched the slit of his pupils flicker as he genuinely took the time to look you over. It was a hypothetical question and now you were scared of the actual answer. He was a demon, after all. He’d know what a damned soul looked like, right? 
“Well.” You watched Hoseok’s throat bob as he swallowed. “You did read a lot of serial killer fanfiction on AO3.” 
You scoffed, leaning back in your chair and crossing your arms against your chest. 
“Are you kink-shaming me right now?” 
Hoseok mirrored your scoff and busied himself with tidying up a stack of loose papers on his desk, but you saw the way his cheeks turned a healthy shade of pink. 
Interesting. 
“So, I’m going to Hell because I read One Direction serial killer AUs? Really? That’s why I’m going to Hell?” 
“No!” Hoseok huffed again, louder this time. He ran his fingers through his hair and gave you a pleading look. “I don’t know! I don’t decide who goes to Hell, I just take them there!” 
“Then don’t take me.” 
It seemed like the obvious solution, but Hoseok looked at you like you’d threatened to kill him. 
“I have to take you.” 
“Oh yeah? Or else what?” You were back to leaning against his desk, your head in your hands and your elbows on the surface. “Satan damns you to some horrible eternal punishment?” 
Hoseok turned his head and mumbled to the side, “Something like that.”
You wanted to ask him what it mattered if he was already a demon working for Satan, but you figured that would push him a bit too far. Instead, you were just going to beg. Considering the circumstances, you allowed yourself to do it without hurting your self-respect. Dire times, dire measures. 
“Hoseokie, please,” you whined with your bottom lip jutted out. You reached out to hook your finger around one of his, pulling his hand away from where it rested against his chin. “Please, don’t take me to Hell. Let me stay here, with you.” 
“With me?” Hoseok’s eyes widened, slitted pupils dilating into ovals. 
“Mhmm, wouldn’t that be nice?” you purred, lightly tracing the lines of his palm with your index finger. “You’re so pretty and you look so stressed. What did you say earlier, about burnout? They aren’t taking care of you here, are they, Hoseokie?” 
The demon bit his lip. His razor-sharp teeth pressed deep indents into what you knew were soft pink lips. 
“I could help you out, Hoseokie, baby.” 
Those dark eyes shimmered red and finally met your gaze, though his face was still flushed and his expression almost… timid. 
“Help me out?” he murmured, almost as though he were talking himself through the conversation rather than asking you a question. 
“Mhmm…” 
You pressed your hands flat against the desk and hoisted yourself on top of it. The stack of papers Hoseok had just fixed went flying. He weakly reached out to stop a few of them from slipping off and floating to the carpeted floor. 
“I don’t know.” Hoseok’s voice wavered, though you had to give him credit for his ability to maintain eye contact with you as you scooted across the desk. 
“I think you do know, Hoseokie.” 
Hoseok shook his head, third eyelids putting in work to blink away the shock when you eased yourself into his lap. 
You’d been so caught up on how tall and menacing he’d looked in the hallway that you hadn’t stopped to consider the rest of his details, like how firm and comfortable his thighs were. You wiggled your ass to get settled, eliciting a low groan from the demon whose red eyes still rounded under your gaze. 
“I’m going to get in trouble,” he pleaded with you when you dug your fingers into his hair and yanked his head backward. “I really don’t want to get in trouble.” 
“And I really don’t want to go to Hell.” You dug your teeth into the soft skin of his throat and Hoseok let out a whimpered hiss. “Do you see our problem here?”
Of course, he could see the problem, but Hoseok was driven mute by your free hand palming his cock through his pants. His hold on your waist was bruisingly tight, but you kept a firm grip on his hair and a hot hand on his crotch. There was no way he was getting an upper hand in this, not that you expected him to. He was whimpering and pliant underneath you already. 
Maybe you were absolutely insane, but if you had to suck some demon dick to get out of Hell, you were going to fucking do it. No matter how weird it probably looked. 
“Y/N, wait.” Hoseok shuddered as you popped open the button of his pants and dragged down the zipper. “Listen to me, it’s not, it’s not a good idea.” 
You let your fingertips dance along the waistband of his underwear. You weren’t sure why it was funny that he was wearing underwear; it just seemed like such a silly thing for a demon to need. Out here reaping souls and getting angry over death certificates, and going to the store to buy underwear after work. 
It was just funny. 
“Why not, Hoseokie? Don’t tell me they don’t let you have a little fun around here.” You batted your eyes at him and slide your hand beneath the fabric. 
“It’s not- fuck.” 
Hoseok tried to lean forward, to curl into himself, when you pressed your thumb against his leaking slit, but you kept his head pulled backward by his hair. 
“Now, I’m gonna tell you what we’re gonna do, okay Hoseokie baby?” 
The demon opened his mouth to speak and you shivered as his forked tongue wet his lips. 
“Okay.” 
“Good little demon, thank you,” you cooed praise that made his face flush an even deeper red. “I’m going to suck your dick and then you’re gonna delete whatever record you have of me and we’re going to forget I was ever even here, alright?” 
When Hoseok didn’t speak, you squeezed the head of his cock. 
“Fuck, yes, yes, yes, alright,” he sputtered. 
“Good.” 
The bright side to all of this was that his dick didn’t look any different from any other dick you’d ever seen, although it did seem a bit long. Which was fine. You had hands, didn’t you? You knew how to do a little two-hand twist when needed. 
Just as you were about to slide off Hoseok’s lap and get on your knees, the door to his office flung open so hard it slammed against the wall. 
“Oh fuck,” Hoseok gulped. He quickly stuffed his cock back inside his pants and zipped his pants up with trembling fingers. 
“Oh fuck is right. What the fuck is going on here?” 
You turned to look over your shoulder at the person who owned such a smooth, sinister voice that dripped enough malice for you to drown in it. You felt your entire body grow cold when you were met with slitted eyes that glowed even more brightly than Hoseok’s. The eyes roamed your face, your body, your position still straddling Hoseok’s lap. And you did the same, your human eyes taking in the man’s black fitted suit, the swell of his thighs beneath the fabric, the pout of his lips, the craters his dimples made in his cheeks as he sucked on his teeth in seething anger. 
“I-I-I-I, Your Majesty,” Hoseok’s tongue fumbled over the words as he tried shoving you off of him. 
Oh shit, was this God? He was way too hot to be God. 
You stood when Hoseok did, the two of you blinking with your eyes wide and mouths hanging open like idiots in front of the sharply dressed man. Just past the doorway, you could see a few other men flanking the entrance, as though they were guarding it. 
“Don’t fucking call me Your Majesty while your cock is twitching in your pants, Hoseok. Have some decency,” the dimpled man chastised with a snort. 
Was God allowed to curse? You supposed he was, but multiple F-bombs and a casual “cock” thrown around seemed like a lot for a guy who was meant to be the holiest of the holy.
“And you.”
You poked your index finger against your chest when the man suddenly loomed over you. 
“Me?”
“You’re supposed to be with me.” 
You rose your eyebrows and shot Hoseok a look, but he had his eyes on the floor. 
“Oh… you’re not God…”
You felt fire lick and burn up your chest and across your throat when the man leaned his head back to bellow a laugh so deep you swore the walls moved just as they had for Hoseok when he walked. 
“Sweet of you to think so highly of the Devil, little human.” 
Aw, fuck. 
You were going to Hell.
“Now, listen, the One Direction serial killer AUs weren’t actually that bad. Like, if you’d just give it a chance, you’d understand,” you began. 
“Reasoning with me is futile, pet.” 
The sound of your teeth clamping shut echoed through the room. You probably should have been scared of how poisonous his tone sounded, but excitement thrummed in your stomach. 
No one had ever called you pet before. It was kind of cute. 
“Now, let’s go, shall we?” 
If Satan had a problem with the way you whimpered when he wrapped a smooth, tan hand around your bicep to haul you out of the room, he didn’t make any indication. If anything, you thought he squeezed you a bit tighter. 
“I didn’t think Satan would be so buff,” you murmured and you heard Hoseok choke. 
You’d all but forgotten about the guy. 
“Oh! Hoseokie!” You twisted your neck around to face him as Satan began leading you away. “Thanks for hanging out! I forgive you for being such a rule follower!” 
You turned up to look at Satan’s face which was a bit hard to do considering he was so tall and all legs and pecs that looked better than any boobs you’d ever seen. It was very distracting. 
“You’re not going to damn him to some horrible eternal punishment, are you?” 
“I think working here is punishment enough, don’t you?”

Possible Devil Fruit Ideas
I currently have a list of possible Devil Fruit ideas for Cass from my fic An Oracle's Odyssey. Not all of them are completely fleshed out yet and are still subject to tweaking and me figuring out the details, I'd just like to know your opinions on them. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. (If you see an N/A, it just means I haven't figured that part out yet)
Fruit 1
Kibo Kibo no Mi (Scale Scale Fruit)
Type: Paramecia
Abilities: Grants the user the ability to increase or decrease the scale of something exponentially. This can be physical (size, amount/# of things, ect) or metaphorical (force, strength, speed, ect). Only works on the user and objects, not other people
Awakening: N/A
Pros
Would allow Cass to increase the their physical stats for as long as they have the energy to hold their fruit powers
Giant Cass
Pocket sized Cass
Enables Cass’s hoarding tendencies
Cass can be that one meme where one person pulls out an absurd amount of weapons
I can give Cass a giant war hammer and a giant battle ax which I would have to forgo with any other fruit because they’re too big to carry around
The one I can be the most creative with
Fruit 2
Oto Oto no Mi (Sound Sound Fruit)
Type: Logia
Abilities: The ability to become, generate and manipulate sound waves. Grants user control over all sound they create
Awakening: Grants user control over all sound waves
Pros
Ties thematically with Cass’s connection to sound
Ties back to Apollo/the sun god because sound and music (this does include Nika as well bc drums)
Allows Cass to become intangible
Sonic screeches
Sonic vibrations could be used to replicate Whitebeard’s fruit
Very difficult to block sound based attacks (probably the most outright deadly if used properly)
Could use sound waves to break things apart on a molecular level
I actually know what I want the awakening to be
Voice mimicry
Fruit 3
Type: Mythical Zoan
Abilities: Grants the user the ability to turn into the goddess Artemis and tap into her abilities and domains
Nature: Nature is inclined to help & listen to the user
Hunting: Increased physical abilities & aim as well as other hunting abilities
The Moon: Moon beams
Half Form: N/A
Full Form: N/A
Awakening: N/A
Pros
Mood goddess first mate and sun god captain
Ties into nature and the Voice of All Things
Artemis is the twin of Apollo, the greek sun god
Artemis is the goddess of archery and Cass uses ranged weapons
Fruit 4
Hito Hito no Mi Model Hecate (Human Human Fruit Model Hecate)
Type: Mythical Zoan
Abilities: Grants the user the ability to turn into the goddess Hecate and tap into her abilities and domains
Magic/Witchcraft: The ability to practice Greek witchcraft (spells, potions, herbs, runes)
The Night: Nightvision, possible minor control over darkness
Ghosts/Necromancy: Abilities to see and talk to the spirits of the dead
Crossroads: N/A
Half Form: N/A
Full Form: N/A
Awakening: N/A
Pros
One of the most thematically tied to Cass (Greek Mythology, crossroads and decisions, death)
Hecate is also tied to the moon even if she isn't the mood goddess like Artemis
One of Hecate’s symbols is the torch, tying into their connection with Ace
Strong ties to the underworld and death, with Hecate being one of the few deities who can easily travel between realms
Was a titan who helped the gods when over throwing the titans (relevant but the reason is a spoiler)
Called the three headed goddess represent the maiden, the mother and the crone but also the past, present and future
Witch Cass (requires prep work and Cass to make their own spells and magic system)
Fruit 5
Shika Shika no Mi Model Qilin (Deer Deer Fruit Model Qilin)
Type: Mythical Zoan
Abilities: Grants the user the ability to turn into a Qilin and use it’s abilities
Fire breathing
Prophecy
Flight
Shapeshifting
Half Form: The horns & scales of a Qilin, also hovees & horse like legs and tail
Full Form: Fully transforms into a Qilin (“a deer's body, ox's tail, most frequently cloven hooves, a dragon's head, and scales, sometimes with flames emanating from the body.” description from worldhistory.org)
Awakening: N/A
Pros
Ties most closely into Cass’s Oracle shtick as Qilin’s are associated with prophecy, insight and wisdom like Oracles
I actually have ideas regarding the transformations that would take place
A Qilin’s birth is tied to the birth or death of a sage (Cass dying and being reborn)
Qilins are also known to transport souls
The most distinct transformation of all the Zoan ideas and also the most fun
The chimera esque appearance of a Qilin (important and thematically tied but the reason is a spoiler)
Luffy is based on Sun Wukong who also hails from Chinese mythology like the Qilins
As of right now, any of these fruits are possibilities. Cass never getting a Devil Fruit is also an option. I’d love to hear your opinions. Some other miscellaneous notes, I’m a bit on the fence on the idea of Cass being a Zoan. They’re already an Oracle which is a mythological classification on its own. That’s not to say they can’t be both but it’s something I think about. Also, awakenings. If I were to give them a Devil Fruit, I’d want to have them awaken it before the story finishes so I’d love to hear any ideas you have for it

Slytherin Boys after getting exposed to a lucky potion in an accident🫣
⚠️NSFW/Adults Only ⚠️All characters in this manga are adults ⚠️AI-based translation ⚠️This is just a comedy. PLEASE NEVER MIND THE DETAILS!🤣 ⚠️Before reading this manga, it is good to know about Victorian-style crotchless drawers
Link to the manga in undercut.
(https://poipiku.com/7505915/9923703.html)
This manga contains adult material and is suitable only for mature audiences. Read with caution and discretion.
The arrow depicting 'To Be Continued' is one of those Japanese memes, so the manga doesn't actually continue 🤣 But I just love to see stories like this about couples who get into naughty happenings, so I'd like to draw another manga like this one day!

I WISH I could cheer at this moment like so many have, but I was only ever confused.
Tumblr media
Maddie's character was so insignificant that her biggest impact was basically as two memes. "This girl is too naive to know what martial law is." and "This girl is a homewrecker!" and the prominence of the latter is what I think is the only reason anyone took that much joy in her shooting herself in the head, but I felt almost nothing because I was wondering throughout the whole scene who Maddie was supposed to be when she went from someone discouraging Caitlyn from being influenced by Ambessa to someone who would salute Ambessa before coldly shooting (And according to a freeze-frame bonus SADISTICALLY SMILING?!) as she executes Caitlyn. Credit to @kaban-bang for saying on BlueSky that she's basically just Hans from Frozen. The seemingly nice false love-interest who turns out evil because we need to wrap this plot up.
While increasing her role into a fully developed character would have been the best thing, a change I wish they'd made with minimal screentime changes would be to make her the DEVIL on Caitlyn's shoulder instead of the apparent angel, by basically making her all the worst things a portion of the fandom perceives Caitlyn as (Staunch defender of Queenlyn Kiramman that I am, but going into detail on that would be a whole other post). She could start out as the same seemingly good-hearted enforcer but once she actually goes down to Zaun a condescending disdain for its people is gradually unearthed, leading to her giving full support of Noxian-backed martial law and trying to ENCOURAGE Ambessa's influence in Act 2, making the way Caitlyn was ultimately characterized as trying to do what she thought was best for everyone in these tense circumstances more apparent as she tries to resist the encouragment of both her mentor and her lover. And then for maximum love-triangle catharsis Maddie could have actively expressed seeing Vi as beneath her and especially unworthy of Caitlyn. She deserves to be with Caitlyn as a loyal enforcer from the right side of the river, not some street trash Caitlyn found in a jail cell.
Basically if she was Cal from Titanic instead of Hans from Frozen THEN I would have found catharsis enough to cheer at her over-the-top death, instead of asking "Who even was this girl?"

is it just me or the way Wyll blushes and hides the pic of Mizora in that xbox ad doesn't sit well with you as well?
so Mizora traps him in a contract, owns him via contract, can boss him around, yank his invisible leash, and, if he disobeyed or if she dies, he either dies as well or immediately goes to hell for an eternity. I'm a way, he's her slave. as far as he knows, he can get out out of the contract by sacrificing himself (or he can sacrifice himself to save his dad).
sure, you can go behind Mizora's back and save Ravengard, buy we'll go with Wyll Doesn't Know That for the sake of my point.
and canonically Wyll dislikes Mizora and her company. he wants to get rid of her. he hates that she turns him into a devil. he hates how he looks. he hates everything about that.
and what Larian say in that xbox ad? oh, Wyll actually blushes and keeps the implied sexy pic of Mizora and it's implied that he has a crush on her/would have sex with her.
AND Karlach, who was also a slave with no means to get out, who was sold to slavery by a person she trusted and protected, elbows Wyll and goes, "what, you don't want it?" Karlach who KNOWS how it feels and who wants to kill Gortash for what he did to her, and Mizora is Wyll's Gortash in a way.
so first we have Halsin being a sex slave for three entire years and he feared for his life every single day. yet, that info is hidden very deeply and is easily misseable, and its written in the manner of him victim blaming himself with "i was a young druid" and he chuckles as he says that and it's presented in a way way as if he had fun? as if he was there willingly? as if it's all a big joke and not a big deal?
like, i know it's a big topic, but why is only Astarion's trauma taken seriously? why is Astarion's story written and loudly told in a way that we know that Cazador tortured him in every way, including rape, and not once it's treated like a joke? but when it comes to other's slavery, abuse, and trauma, it's suddenly treated like a joke?
Halsin's story is generally badly written/portrayed & he deserves way better, and maybe I'm reaching with this because neither Shadowheart's or Gale's stories show their captors as something good (still not as detailed as Astarion's though), but somehow that slips/gets dismissed when it comes to others.
I think Larian should stop with memes and hehe haha teeheee and be serious when it comes to others' trauma, not just Astarion's.
