#no garantees as usual

[wereshrew-admirer]

hello! long time no see!

i went on a little trip to maine and ended up staying longer than expected because of some surprise health horrors (i'm fine now), and came right back into two obscenely long work days (huge media fill in the lab)... it's been a long while since i've drawn, and i WANT to but my head is EMPTY - i can of course just doodle like a normal person that doesn't have to finish everything they start but like idk. if anybody has chine and/or duvall requests hit me up? or any fatt requests, really, but y'know. comfort food for trying times, etc etc

remember when i said give me a day or two? I lied

Presenting

FELL! JD!!

His lore:

In his world things are much brutal at the trolls tree, as in tge bergebs dont have a trollstice, they eat trolls whebecer they wish at any quantity they wish so its mjch more dangerous

That led to trolls greying mkre than the usual, but tha led to a discovery

You see grey trolls dont bring happiness when eaten which leads to bergens not wanting them, and JD managed to discover that via observing how bergens just never pick the grey ones

So he, tge eldest of his brothers and the one tasked of protecting them ever since grandma got eaten, came up with a plan, its not a pretty plan but its a plan, and it will garantee the lives of his brothers

He became a dick

The biggest asshole to his brothers, I'd go as far as saying he's abusive to them

He needed to, he had to, he needed to make them grey, no matter what, he needed to keep them alive

And it does work, his bros go grey, but whatever bond they had is severed, they hate his guts, and they all turned out bitter and full of resentment

They resent him

But you know what? Who cares right? As long as it kees his brothers off of a bergen's menue then he certainly doesn't

What makes you think Azula was lying about hurting Suki? She took her clothes and somehow knew Sokka was her boyfriend and already traumatized about losing his first love

I mean, the episode itself basically screamed "AZULA IS LYING! SHE'S A LYING LIAR WHO LIES!" during that scene was a pretty good hint. She was fighting the Gaang to prevent them from going to finding her father before firebending came back, "warned" them about a trap waiting for them where Ozai was (which we know was bullshit), and only then does she suddenly go "By the way I have your girlfriend as my prisoner and she thinks you failed her!" to hurt Sokka - aka the one who was telling Aang and Toph to just ignore everything she said.

We literally see a few episodes later, and sure, she's in prison, but she's clearly not hurt. And more importantly, during their escape, when Suki says this is a rematch she had been waiting for, she is focused on TY LEE and on not letting her hit her once - which could suggest Ty Lee was the one to take down all the Kyoshi Warriors, with Chi blocking, like she did with the Terra Team in Ba Sing Se.

If Azula had done anything beyond just capturing and maybe taunting her over the defeat, don't you think Suki would have wanted to at least punch her in the face or something? Hell, she's more mad at Zuko than at Azula, since he burned her village.

Not to mention, Sokka taunted her in Ember Island Players over losing to Azula, and Suki just looks bothered by the mention of the defeat, not like she's reliving some terrible trauma. The writers could be insentitive at times, but I think even they wouldn't do something like "This character was tortured/raped in prison and her boyfriend makes fun of her for it."

As for Azula knowing Sokka and Suki were a thing, he LITERALLY told Ty Lee about it at the end of season 2, when she's trying to flirt with him. Plus I can totally see Suki going "My boyfriend is friends with the Avatar, and they'll kick your ass and save me" after her defeat.

(Seriously guys, "Dude that is friends with the Avatar and openly supports him is dating the leader of a group of warriors that also supports the Avatar openly" is not exactly top secret information that Azula would need to torture people to find out about).

Also I don't think she show is implying she knows about Yue and how much it affected Sokka. There's a literal war going on for longer than Azula has been alive, Sokka's home was one of the areas the Fire Nation attacked the most, and he has been traveling the world for months, meeting a ton of new people - it's practically mathematically garanteed that he lost someone at some point. Plus "I captured someone you care about and they lost all hope" is the kind of shit that would upset ANYONE, even if they never lost someone before that.

As for the whole "Azula stole her clothes" thing: The Northern Water Tribe stole clothes and armor of Fire Nation soldiers and the Gaang did the same thing in book 3, and Zuko was also made to wear inmate uniform like Suki. "This character had to take this off at some point" does not mean "They were abused while changing clothes."

For fucks sake people, we see Hakoda humiliate the warden and only be sent to his sell, we see guards mocking Sokka for wanting to beat up a prisoner (who just happened to be the traitor prince) as they see that as "new guy trying too hard" aka that's not something that usually happens in the boiling rock, and even the cooler is a punishment for picking up a fight not a place to throw prisoners in randomly. The ONE torture session we see in the boiling rock happens because an escape plan was discovered - and AZULA was the one to stop it, before she even knew what the hell was going on.

("But she visited Suki in the comics and it was implied that Suki was being starved!" Retcons don't fucking matter, we literally see in the show that Suki was fine, just sad to be imprisoned and away from everyone she knew. She was not tortured.)

Azula is no saint, but this "theory" that she tortured or raped Suki is nothing but fans being oddly fixated on the idea of this kids show secretly being Game Of Thrones.

Hi there!

I don‘t know if my question was eaten by tumblr, so I decided to send it again or if you didn’t come to it yet (if that‘s the case feel free to ignore and don‘t feel pressured into answering pls🥺❤️)

It is Oc question time🥳

How does one usually end up as Volkovs Slave? (a.k.a. Bens position)? And for which character traits/body appearances does Volkov look for/ which spark his interest the most?

Was there someone who held out longer than Ben or who came close to him in any way? If yes, who was it and how?

This is a complicated question and I don't know if I have the answer. I'm ashamed to report that Tumblr didn't eat your question, I just didn't know how to answer it.

Volkov is a human trafficker who masquerades as a philanthropist. So he hides his cruelties well. The only people who know how cruel he truly is are the handful of minions he lets in close. And it's not a big group. He hires like minded people. If they're not like minded, then he ropes them in so they're essentially stuck with him and can't leave (Like Andrei). People don't cross him and live to tell the tale. But he learned a long time ago, you don't have to kill someone to destroy them. And he specializes in that.

Volkov likes being surprised. I think he fully intented to take Ben and do what he did, get bored and ship him off to a buyer. BUt Ben looks pretty when he's abused and I think Ben's faith and how he holds on to it intrigues him. He puts no stock in religion himself, but he likes to hollow people out and Ben has this otherworldly spark inside of him that he never fully quashes.

Ben is indeed one of his longer lasting captives. The longest? I honestly don't know. Volkov is driven by power and cruelty so he doesn't necessarily have a type. He'll take anyone that will let him play out his sick games. Male or female. He goes for guys more often because their bigger stature and strength means they're more likely to survive the abuse longer. BUt he's take women when it serves him or is convenient. You can bet that when he goes off on his business trips and leaves Ben alone, he's not actually alone. He's garanteed companionship on his trips by a network of people he does business with. None of these people chose it or enjoy their time with him. But they're also not going to say anything because that's the nature of human trafficking. Who's going to listen to them, and who's going to believe them?

Until Jake supplied his phone and all the evidence from it that the FBI was able to gather, there was never any proof that Volkov was directly involved with anything. The FBI only thought he might have been a money man. The Russians certainly weren't going to look into it. Their's has been a system run on corruption and bribery for years. And the sad thing is, Volkov isn't the only person out there like this. There are countless people just like him.

Where ever money is, traffickers are not far away. It also seems to go hand in hand with drugs and prostitution. Jake would NEVER have been involved in human trafficking. He finds it abhorrent, but drugs didn't seem like that big of a deal to him. Infact, when he initially took the deal, he didn't realize how much he was getting into. And by the time he did the cops were raiding and it was too late and too big to get out of.

That's a really long post to sort of not answer your question...

[onmywaytofanfic]

40!!!!!!!

I started this blog just for fun and little by little I turn this into my own dumpster of stuff I do for fun. I can't believe that today I suddenly got the notification that I have got 40 followers!!

It may not look as much but for a moment imagine 40 people at your house...exactly I will jump of the window too. It is a lot off people to be realistic and I never even thought of having 5 people following me!

I see that most of my friends do this thingy in which they celebrate millstones. I know that 50 sounds as a usual millestone but I don't like do the ordinary. I think the next time I do this would be at 69 because hahahahahahaha *Boro dumb*

So...I am doing this small poll

Could it be spiccy? Yes, it could. But, I don't promise doing anything trully exceptional, but I am sure that at least a laugh or a smirk would be almost garantee.

Starting a series where I document my pulls while I save for major events. Usually they're just going to be until the garanteed 5 or 6-star, and this will hopefully give me an indication of what my luck will be like in the future.

So far, not good :<

Yandere Jupiter sounds terrifying. I'm going to question how he acts-

Jupiter is mean, mellow and careless in personality.

Most likely the most unsympathetic and unempathetic of his brothers, which includes Terra, who has a completely disregard for all matters of life. Terra, who literally kills humans for fun and genocide, who sends Earth into an apocalyptic spiral of destruction and negative emotions.

If Terra isn't a psychopath than a Yandere Jupiter definitely is.

Jupiter is horrifying in the same ways Terra is, because of carelessness. Allowing you to run free and wild is out of the question, given what Jupiter does for a living, kidnapping you and mentally scaring you for life is only the least he can do.

He tortures and kills without batting an eye socket, will do what he must to own his S/O in every way possible. Similar to Saturn, Jupiter wants to puppeteer you, lock you within a cage of his own design. Tie you permanently to stings and make you dance beautifully for him. A pet, if you will.

There is little Jupiter won't do, as a destroyer, life is meaningless existence. He will abuse, tear apart and even use others (No matter how innocent they are) as a means to further tie you down, anything to remind you of your place beneath him. Whatever he does, it will be a pleasurable experience for him, taking away meaning and hope from the unsuspecting hearts of weaklings.

Jupiter doesn't bother with manipulation, the truth of everything he is willing to do is more than enough to keep you in line, The Stardroids are experts in striking fear into the hearts of their foes, humans are no different; destroying whoever is in his way, Jupiter will be as brutal as he desires even at the expense of others and your sanity. Broken and in tethers, completely dependent on him and maintaining a fair balance of heart-sinking fear and a devotion to perfection.

Actually, your state is preferred to be at the bottom of the barrel. Deep down the deepest well, with no ladders, no ropes. Hopes tarnished and dreams far away; the less emotional you are, the better control and entertainment Jupiter has.

Dealing with a yandere Stardroid, it is garanteed to give any mere human nightmares. Expect a Stardroid (Especially a yandere.) to weaponize negativity every chance they get, and trust me, they will know the chance when it comes up. And once their deeds are done, they won't help you get better, nothing genuine at least.

Don't underestimate these emotional experts, there are many ways to ensure your heart drowns itself in darkness, and they will come up with brand new ways if their usual methods don't work properly. Spreading sadness and erasing life, plaguing people with insecurities and shotting down their happiness and replacing it with hopelessness is what they do best.

They do an amazing job at it, and so love doing it.

Super sorry this isn’t about Twst but I just gotta say how much I hate when people consider someone weird for liking kids shows like I absolutely love MLP and I have a ton of merch from it but if I ever talk about it I’m called immature like please just let me like my silly little colorful pony show :’] -

HI 🦭 ANON!! no problem, I like to talk regardless of the topic!!

tbh, even when I was a little kid at the age that you're still expected to like kids shows I was made fun of by some classmates because they were more "mature" and that was just a "silly cartoon for little kids", but the point is: I was a little kid!! let me enjoy those things!! even today I really like cartoons, I love animation, even if it's "for little kids".

maybe that's the neurodivergency talking as well, but there's just something about them, you know? perhaps I like the simplicity or the heartfelt messages of love and friendship, maybe even the nostalgia, or I just want to give my child self something that she can enjoy without being ashamed of it.

MLP is such a nice show, the characters are all very different and have nice designs, the story is cute and manages to pass on messages that are important, be it for children or an older audience. a few days ago I was actually rewatching the Equestria Girls movies to remember how they were, since I used to LOVE them when I was little! (the songs still slaps)

I really like shows like Gravity Falls and The Owl House, that may be considered childish simply for the fact that they are animated. even if it's intended for a younger audience, they are so well made they capture the attention of anyone watching!! I also love to watch any new animation movies that comes out, since they are usually so cool! even old ones, as this past vacation I had a disney movie marathon and enjoyed getting to see the stories with new eyes, still remembering how I watched them as a kid!

people who judge other's interests are just so rude without a reason. why does me enjoying something I like a lot bothers you so much you couldn't stay quiet? I don't care if it's "cringe" or whatever, just let people enjoy things in peace!! there's something so beautiful in being able to find happiness in little things and I love when someone starts talking about something they like, since you can feel their passion and they eyes light up and they get excited, it's very cool!

even sometimes when something is not for kids, people might make fun of you for it? for example: animes have a reputation of being for kids since they kind of are very exaggerated, be it in fights or just anything really, and they are animated. that doesn't mean it's only for kids! there are some anime that I wouldn't reccomend for a kid to watch, since there might be some heavy topics in them. honestly, people just like to find a reason to make fun of others sometimes because their lives are getting boring without it and they couldn't find anything better to do with their time. (I garantee you, as someone with a very busy life, I couldn't care less if one of my friends enjoys watching kids shows or playing with dolls or doing whatever, as long as they aren't hurting anyone then they're good in my books).

so, in conclusion, even when people might judge you for it, I don't think you should stop doing the things you enjoy! be unapologetically happy! at the end of the day, they won't get any satisfaction from making fun of you, but you'll still be happy with the things you like. especially if you find other people that share your interests! what others say doesn't really matter, your life is yours and only yours to judge, and there are already so many problems out there, there's no need to create problems that don't really exist, you know? liking something "childish" isn't a problem and it shouldn't be a problem, so just enjoy what you like without feeling ashamed for it!

If i see that one video of 1d singing together that makes every zstan shade harry i will freak out, because show me the moments zayn has ever shown stage presence. Also that was from years ago but i can garantee you, nobody of those 4 crackheads can dance and run around wembley and pull in attention like harry. Every comparison of any of the 1d boys with harry usually starts with a: if, would, could…

Zayn literally has no stage presence! The last time he was present on a stage was 2016, and as a soloist he looked nervous and withdrawn.

[icharchivist]

don’t reblog pls

not getting into it but i saw a bewildering take that people cannot possibly care about kp/op other than for the shallow reasons of "pretty boys” because “they can’t understand the lyrics, at least with american pop there’s that” and 1) translations????? are??? everywhere????, 2) what is this sort of english entitlement with lyrics, as if the rest of the world wasn’t listening to their songs without understanding a single bit of english. 80% of french radios are full of english songs and i can guarantee most people don’t know english, don’t understand the songs, and out of all of them only 20% would check a translation, while i’m p sure most kp/op fans still seek out translation like. The nerve.

Like there’s so many layers of fucked up with that whole discourse that i won’t touch but everytime ppl bring up “how could you like it if you don’t understand the lyrics” i get stunned for a good ten minutes. Like wow that’s really something you just said right now.

Usually when I talk abt berserker Guda I default to "relatively low madness enhancement, is hard to understand but is mostly aware of what is going on around them," but recently I've been toying with the idea of a berseguda with much higher madness enhancement. A Guda who is stuck in full survival mode 24/7, who only perceive things in terms of "threats" and "not threats." Their noble phantasm is One Way Out. You know how Sherlock's np allows him to create clues that can lead him to the truth, even if it bends reality to do so? Guda's np creates a way to get out of any situation- whether it's coincidentally just the chemicals you needed to make a smoke bomb in the vicinity, or the existence of a very specific loophole in someone's invincibility, think all the time in canon where everything seemed lost and we got through by the skin of our teeth.

So the good news! Since the madness enhancement is higher, Guda is much stronger than any of their other servant selves, and when it comes to powerlevels they might actually stand a chance in a straight fight with other servants. Additionally, since they're motivated by survival at all cost, that's a servant who will protect their master (since death of the master = death of the servant) regardless of your moral standing or otherwise dickery level.

Now the bad news.

As I said, that's a Guda in full survival mode. That doesn't translate to I need to kill everyone. That translates, in fact, as I need to hide and I need to run and how do I remove myself from this dangerous situation as fast as humanly possible. Which, when you're fighting a battle royale and you actually need to get some fighting done, is the opposite of useful. And because you raised the madness enhancement, you lost all your chances to resonate with them with a well-placed "oh but you'll be safe if they all die first!" That's too complicated a train of thought. You kinda shot yourself in the foot here.

Of course, you can use a command spell to force Guda to fight. But that'd actively hinder their noble phantasm- again, it's like Sherlock's np. It doesn't garantee that you can make it out. It just creates a possibility that you can. If their np creates a passageway to get the fuck away but you asked them to fight, they won't use the passageway. Which might be disadvantageous.

Additionally, even if you buffed up Guda's powerlevel, you just did it at the cost of them being able to have a conversation that isn't "shh someone is coming." You just privileged raw power over Guda's most prized skill, their ability to make allies. Which is. A poor move.

I Just Think it'd fuck if you could jack up Guda's raw power at the cost of any chance of actually winning the holy grail war. I think it would be really on brand with this franchise as a whole.

So I have recently seen Dragon Age: Redemption with the amazing @dalishious and boy if it wasn't an experience. But while we were laughing and commenting the decision to make a rewrite of the serie came up and I offered myself for the job as a fun writing exercise to start my blog. So here we go. This is made with the assumption that we are in the middle of Dragon Age 2 Act 1, because that's what I understood?

Dragon Age: Redemption (Of A Plot)

-The movie still starts as it does in canon, with Tallis doing a voiceover while looking dramatic, because that's the type of things Tallis does.

-The first difference is when Sarebaas (the villain) walks in to interrogate a prisoner elf. Instead of doing weird unknow magic, Sarebaas cut the elf palm and uses his blood to compel the elder elf to talk. So we estabilish a familiar narrative element since the start and don't have to suffer bad visual effects because blood magic is incospicuos

-Tallis still gets told by the qunari that she is Tallis again and there is a mission for her ecc, but the qunari also add that they intend to destroy the Sarebaas once reunited because he got corrupted by staying away from the Qun. They have no idea of Sarebaas plans, they just want to follow the Qun and would kill him even if he was loyal. (As seen in DA2)

-Tallis meets Cairn (the Templar) while handling the racist asshole with the necklace of elven ears and Cairn does his "leave him be he is my prisoner in the name of the Chantry". Cairn doesn't show any concern that the guy Tallis is handling has literal *elven ears* as a necklace, only that it's only his right to apprehend him and for separate reasons.

-Tallis mocks him for being a good church little soldier, that's fine. But she doesn't tell him she's qunari (why the fuck my Hawke wasnt informed but this bitchy Templar yes Tallis) and doesn't propose to work together at all. Cairn treathens Tallis, saying that Knight-Commander Meredith told him to recover the "escaped apostate" immediately and he has the authority to arrest her if she doesn't collaborate. He's the one who wants to "work together" but at HIS terms.

-Tallis quickly makes some cool rougue move and ends up with her daggers at Cairn troath, before telling him to say to Meredith hello and knocking him down. Then, with the informations she got from Necklace Racist GuyTM she leaves for the Dalish Camp. Since this is Kirkwall and there shouldn't be more than one dalish clan for area, the clan we meet is actually Clan Sabrae.

-While she is with the dalish, Tallis hears some yelling and sees Cairn somehow found her. She asks him how and he says that before being a templar he was helping his father, who used to hunt for their village, so he knows how to follow tracks and followed her here. She compliments him for being "not totally usless" and decides to tell the dalish to let him in saying her "he is with me, we are all elves so I garantee for him" bit.

-No they are not going to have a romance.

-Clan Sabrae is NOT IMPRESSED and tells her that while they accept any elf as part of the people, Tabris is a guest and qunari and doesn't has the trust of the clan. Surely not enough to guarantee for a Templar. In the end they let Cairn in (because plot) but they tell him he will be guarded by their ex First, who's visiting, and will have to leave his weapons to them.

-Being an usless Templar, Cairn is all like "how dare you I work with the authority of the chantry, savages" until a dalish snaps at him that their patience is growing thin and he can enter weaponless or not enter at all. Cairn makes A Face and accepte, saying that he has to complete his mission and his superiors made clear the importance of the task (yes Meredith yelled at him. *world smallest violin plays*)

-The Keeper is busy doing... Something. Maybe she's talking to Audacity and it's an hint to the events of DA2, but they as said before they can talk to their ex First and also the actual First.

-Merrill cameo! :D But what the hell is she doing here? Well Merrill, because she is good like that, cares for her clan even if she's not part of it anymore and came to help when she heard what was going on. Hawke and co are busy on adventuring atm, so it's just her tiny badass self.

-Merrill obviously infodumps them about the mask of Fen'Harel, because Merrill is a badass. Instead of saying that they don't know what it does she says the Mask has many powers and it was always treated carefully because you do not call the Dread Wolf without risks. She says usually the Mask was used to amplify the power of a mage wearing it in moment when there was great need of consulting the Fare.

-Cairn probably says some shit about the mask having to be destroyed or demons but let's just assume that's 90% of his dialogue and ignore him. Maybe Merrill gives him a verbal burn, she's good at that.

-There is still a missing mage from the clan, the elf who was interrogated by Sarebaas at the start and he was Keeper Marethari's *brother*, but was took away from the Templars. (Or hell even just a respected magical elder, as you want)

-They also talk to the new First of the Clan after Merrill left, and it's our boy Josmael *immediate applaues*. Josmael says all he says in canon and how Sarebaas kidnapped his beloved while stealing the mask the clan. He teams up with Cairn and Tallis to rescue her. We also discover that he's one of the few people in the clan who stil likes Merrill and since she left and he was made the new First he has been anxious about having to fill her hyper-competent shoes.

-Yeah that was just me using the movie to give Merrill a friend in her people so what.

-Merrill says she has to return to the city but tells Josmael to keep her updated and he thanks her for caring.

-Cairn and Tallis say to Josmael that he cant come cuz they can't babysit him to which he answers with gentle determination that he doesn't need any babysitting and shows him magic.

-Cairn can't work with apostates blablabla.

-Tallis calls out Cairn for his anti-magic sentiment and says her "people" don't judge magic (which is bullshit but from her pov is the truth). Then she stabs Josmael to make him heal himself and prove himself to them.

-I take a pause because the water in the bath is getting cold and this post is getting too long, so i'll post this rewrite in parts.

I HAD THE BEST BYLER DREAM LAST NIGHT AND I REALLY WANNA SHARE IT WITH YOU ALL

it's so long (literally 2k words) so im gonna put it under the cut haha <3

so basically this would take place after mike and will start dating or something, idk exactly the time frame (i picture them being like 18 or something and this is the summer before college) and will goes to this summer arts program for like 2/3 months (i dunno how long american summer is but something like that) and its all the way far from home so there is dorms and stuff and he's "not in hawkins anymore" (no pun intended)

mike and will decide after will finishes his school they'd go to college together (cuz they're gonna be comic book artists together bc thats boyfriend shit) so throughout these months he's practically just waiting for will (<333333)

so one specific scene i remember from my dream involved will and mike getting off the bus to the school and then they hug and then mike grabs wills hand and brings him behind the bus and then he gives will a biggg kiss bc he won't be able to kiss him for 3 months. then they say they love each other and will gives him another quick kiss and is like "two kisses". they agree they'd call each other every day.

so will goes inside and mike goes back on the bus and goes home.

and basically the whole day is a whirl, until the end of it, in which mike is sitting in the kitchen near the phone waiting for like 3 hours for will to call, and will doesn't end up calling.

AND THEN IT GETS SPICYYYYY

so meanwhile at the arts program will asks like the front desk or something if he can call mike and they say phone is offlimits and they don't let him call mike

so then will goes to sleep and he's paranoid that he thinks mike is gonna hate him or something like that

mk than the next day in class there is this girl (they didn't reveal her name in the dream, ill call her stella) so stella is basically looking at will the entire class but will doesn't know it

so when they exit the class stella's like "hi" and will says "hi"

then stella says "i like your painting."

will is like rlly weirded out so he goes "thanks?"

"i um- hope this doesn't sound weird but i have no friends, do you want to be mine?"

"sure"

and then end of scene (this does not sound like a normal conversation but it's my dream so it doesn't have to make sense"

so BACK AT HAWKINS mike is still sleeping even tho it's like 3 pm because yk depressed boyfriend shit but then the PHONE RINGS and mike gets out of bed frantically and goes to the phone and he picks it up and is like "will?" and then it answers "it's el, idiot"

i feel like this is important for context but el speaks english very well now and hoppers back and she lives with hopper and not the byers anymore. ANYWAYS

el says "how's will?"

mike says "idk he didn't call"

"he didn't?"

"no, he didn't"

"okay. well maybe he will call later"

"yeah mb"

"wanna come over"

"ok"

so mike hangs up and gets changed and goes to el's house bc they r a couple o' besties and when he gets there it's like a therapy sessions bc mike usally talks to will every single day and he can't for like 3 months (unless will calls, but he's not going to) so he accepts he's gonna be depressed for 3 months and he's just talking to el about how he's gonna miss him so much and no be able to see his face and that shit

so el's like "well do u wanna do something to take ur mind off of him"

and mike's like "no im not gonna replace will" (I SCREAMED IN MY DREAM SRSLY)

but than el says "okay. guess im gonna go to the mall by myself" (ig starcourt is rebuilt by now)

and than mike bolts up and is like "fine"

"we can by something for will"

"okay yay"

so then they go to starcourt yasss!!

anyways back at the art school will is having lunch and stella is with he friends (even tho she said she doesn't have any friends) and one of her friends is like "omg did you see _____ he's so hot"

and another friend says "YESS! but ____ is cuter"

"what abt u stella? who do u have ur eyes on"

she says "byers" BUT NOOOOOOO WILL IS MIKES MAN

and they say "ew that kid who came back to life"

she says "yea. but he's cute, and shy, and once i wrap them around my finger i can get them to do anything"

so then she goes to sit down next to will at lunch

"hi will"

"hi"

"hru"

"im good"

"okay. good." and she gets upset because will goes ask how she is but she keeps her urging rage inside. and than they have this weird conversation and will is uncomfortable the whole time bc shes all like flirting with him and will is seeing someone obvi

but then she puts a hand on will's shoulder and he's shaking and then says something (idk what it is it wasn't explaining in my dream) then will stands up and runs to the bathroom. so he's just sitting in the stalls crying.

okay back at starcourt this part wasn't shown in my dream but im just gonna make up that mike and el go looking around starcourt for something for will (sort of like the mike/lucas/will montage where they were looking for stuff for el) and then i guess they find something for will and i don't have the slightest idea what they could have got for him BUT THEY GOT HIM SOMETHING GOOD

so mike's all happy but they'res still that depression inside of him lol

so fast forward a week, it really isn't explained but ill just make up that will still hasn't called mike, and he's super sad and all sleeping in but decides to look through his good ol binder full of will's drawings and in the arts school will and stella have a few more interactions im sure which are still very uncomfortable

okay so it's lunch again in the cafeteria and somehow will and stella are talking again but somehow it ends in stella kissing will and will like pulls away immediatley and is like "what is wrong with you!?"

and she says "what?"

"i'm seeing someone!"

"oh i uh- i didn't know."

the whole cafeteria is staring at them

so will's freaking out almost on the verge of a panic attack "idk what to do, he's gonna hate me and-"

"he?"

will has the look on his face like shit shit shit oh fuck no

"you're gay?"

"i-"

and will runs off once again. and everyone in the whole cafeteria knows that he's day and ofc with everybody being homophobic will knows it's not good at all bc everyone's gonna bully him

so then the next day he goes to class and the teacher is like "does anyone care to tell me where ___ is?" (it would be like a math question like 'where x is' but in art idkkk) and then the teacher calls on "will? can you tell me where ___ is?" and they'res a pause and then the teacher says "or perhaps you'd want to find your boyfriend instead?" (giving me anne with an e vibes prolly cuz i did a rewatch last weekend but i won't explain more in case some people haven't watched it but) anyways will stands up from his seat, everyone is looking at him, and he's shaking and so concerned but then he goes "fuck. you" badass will yeaaaa thats my boy

so then he runs out of the classroom and out of the school in a really cool montage way but then he realizes he's like 2 hours away from home but he runs and runs and he goes to a random bustop (it's not even garanteed if it takes him to hawkins but whatever) he gets on and tries to go back to hawkins.

and soon enough, he gets there, and immediatley goes to the wheelers because he needs to see mike and apologize for everything. so he's at the wheelers, and rings the doorbell, realizing he's still in his uniform lol but karen answers and mike is upstairs in his room sulking (i picture it would be 8 pm by now) so will asks for mike and karen calls mike. mike groans obviously because he doesn't know it's his boy, but he comes down, karen gets out of the way and as soon as he sees will they have a really big hug and it's super sweet and my heart UFHEIOSKA

mike says his usual "are you okay?" and mike is still confused as shit but will says "i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry" and mike says "you don't have to be sorry for anyrhing" but will says "ill explain"

so then they go to will's room, side-by-side on his bed and will starts explaining everything

(this is mostly improvised by me but it's still pretty similar to the dream)

"i hated it."

"the school?"

"yeah. there was no you, (mike blushes lmao), everything was terrible, i felt so lonely, they didn't let me call you-"

"what?"

"they said the phone was off limits. i wanted to talk to you so bad and i thought you'd hate me"

"i could never hate you, will, even if i tried." will smiles

"and then there was this girl, and she hit on me and i didn't know what to do bc i'd be the face of the school if i told her i was dating you and was gay and today she kissed me"

"WHAT"

"im sorry im sorry i didn't kiss back and i was so scared bc i never was in a relationship before and i was so scared it was considered cheating-"

and mike LAUGHSS

"what? mike? what's wrong?"

"if you don't do anything back, it's not considerd 'cheating'"

"oh. good. are you mad at me?"

"what? no! no never!" so mike opens his arms and says "come here" so will and mike hug or something like that and then mike says "do you need me to beat her up?"

and will says "you can't even beat eggs. besides, your noodle arms wouldn't be able to do harm to even a fly"

so mike laughs and says "i'm glad your home"

so will blurts "i cursed out a teacher"

"you? cursing?"

"yes."

"might have to start calling you a bad boy now"

will just smiles and says "i love you"

and mike says "i love you too"

AND THEN END AND IM SO PROUD OF MYSELF BC I LOVE THIS DREAM LIKE I CAN'T BELIEVE MY BRAIN THOUGHT OF THIS BUT IM OBSESSED

ALSO ONCE I FINISH WYBMFFAE ILL PROBABLY WRITE THIS INTO A FULL BLOWN FIC BUT AHIHFUSAH

edit: i have no idea what mike did with the present him and el bought for will but i guess they ended up giving it to him lol

[feralgalaxy]

Changes his sabatina for Gucci crocs, inmunity to Battle 100% garanteed nobody would dare to approach to Those Green monstruosities With things hanging on them. You are protected from danger but not from uglyness 👌😔

"What the hell..."

Before him, he stares at the spot he usually stows his armor. Weaponry, mask, and pauldrons were all here and accounted for, but his sabatons had mysteriously gone missing in the night.

In their place, he finds a new pair of shoes. Made from swamp green rubber, the eyestay and toe box had a dozen or so little holes poked out. A little chain is affixed at the front and gleams with gold, and little decorative emblems of brands he does not recognize are printed on the shoe.

Galacta Knight scowls. This is a bothersome little prank if he's ever dealt with one, he'd have to waste who knows how much time hunting for his actual sabatons...

Or just use the extra pair he had crafted back in Halcandra. Armor breaks all the time, after all. It's good to have a backup set ready in storage.

He sets off, shoeless for now. The "Crocs" are left behind at his camp. He couldn't bear to let anyone see him in those...

(( HEY HI IDK IF YOU OR ANYONE KNEW THIS BUT I LOOKED TO SEE IF GUCCI AND CROCS DID A CROSSOVER AND THEY DID???

WHAT

Model

Mammon x Reader

Camera flashes filled the room, capturing the demon’s face. Poses after poses, from cute to extra hot and with or without clothes, every little patch of Mammon has been immortalized.

I was sitting on a bench, far away from all  the lights, on the side of the shooting spot. Mye yes were glued to the handsome demon, unable to understand how this man who always made bad decisions for himself and getting himself in trouble most of the time, coudl also be a model for the most famous fashion brandin all the devildom.

Apparently, his thirst for money could make him do anything and «  anything » meant becoming hot to the point he’d make you wanting more.

The flashes died down and the photographer put his camera down.

-«  Five minutes break and we’ll do the swim suits » he said before the crew scattered around in the studio.

Mammon looked in your direction and waved before leaving his spot and trotted twoard you.

He stopped right in front of you with a bright smile, you stood up.

«  How was it ? Did I make your heart melt with my beauty ? » he teased, flexing his muscles exageeratingly.

After rolling my eyes and chuckling at his antics, I answered :

You were really good ! Honestly I have trouble admitting that the Mammon I kno can be that good looking and charismatic »

«  Ah thanks ! I knew you… Oi ! What does that mean ? I’m always good-looking and charismatic ! And you forgot smart as hell ! »

«  Sometimes more than others… » you teased «  Want some water ? » you asked, grabbing the bottle of fresh water you’d kept especially for him.

He accepted your gift and took a big gulp ; he didn’t even finish drinking that a member of the staff came to take him to get changed.

«  See you later, MC, don’t take your eyes off me  or you’ll miss one of my glorious pose » he shouted through the room before running off.

I shook my head and let myself fall back on the bench.

While Mammon was in the changing room, the background completely changed . The color whent from white to night blue  and on the floor was a sort of low pool of water . Going with this set up came hoses placed above the water. Only with the materials before your eyes, you had a brief idea of what could be the incoming photoshoot.

Next thing, Mammon re-appeared, wearing a white swim trunk, matching his hair and fitting perfectly i ncontrast with his tanned skin. Oh and were those abs I was seeing ? Yeah they were ! It definitely wasn’t the same person you were living with ! The one doing stupid things, who stole his brothers’ stuff to buy ridiculously luxurious items, and who ended more often than not hung by his feet from the chandelier. But this Mammon walked past you, throwing yo a wink over his shoulder before settling in his previous spot. He stepped in the water while the photograph ordered two of his minions to work the hoses.

 « This one will be for summer, you’ll make all the girls fawn over you and the other demons will be crazy jealous ! Give it your all and you’ll be our next face, Mammon » he told his model

The staff turned the hoses on and the avatar of greed received the water from above, switching to super model mode. Arms extended and head lighlty thrown back, eyes closed with a satisfied smile. The water poured down on him, drops glistening on his exposed skin.

«  Yeah ! Just like that ! »

Mammon brought his hands to his hair, pushing his wet mane back, then gave a seductive look at the camera. Followed, was a cliché of him sliding his hands from his neck down to his lower belly, stopping a few seconds on his defined abs. The photographer was capturing every bit of his sexiness as, well as you, trying to immortalize this image in your mind forever.

«  For the last one, be sexy as hell, we want our readers to drool »

The demon grabbed the hem of his swim trunk and lowered it enough so the white hair of his happy trail was exposed. He lowered it even more to show off the very last few of his pubes before his engine. V-line perfectly shadowed and garanteed to please all Majolish fans.

The photographer let out a bunch of satisfied noise and obscene onomatopeias before putting his camera away.

«  Perfect ! Mammon, dear, you will be Majolish next man model, you’re amazing ! »

The latter looked at you and gave you thumbs up, punctued by a wink, with an exaggerated mouth movement. Yeah, usual Mammon was back.

I waited quietly until he came back from changing, all the previous sights of Mammon clear in my head.

« Y/N are yo uready ? »

I shook my head, chasing my impure thoughts away and followed him out of the studio, eager to got my hands on a copy of that magazine.

**

Two weeks later, Majolish had published their new edition of their ashion magazine and on the cover was an unknown handsome demon.

Knwoming the release date, thanks to that unknown demon who kept throwing hints your way, in case you forgot, you decided to wait for the morning opening and buy as much as you could.

When you left, a bunch of girls were gushing over Mammon’s pictures and you thanked yourself for being so well organized, ‘cause the news had spreaded and all the copies have been sold out within the first minutes of the shop’s opening.

The house of Lamentation was rather quiet at this hour, weekends meant that the inhabitants, except Lucifer would sleep in, leaving the household in utter quietness.

So, itw as easy to trottle back to your room without been seen. Arrived there, you sat on your bed and spreaded all the copies on your blanket. Your took one and admire dit. The picture was beautiful, Mammon’s skin was wet, his hair pushed back and trunk low on his hips. Sooooo hot !!! You couldn’t refrain a squeal of happiness. Yo uhad to keep those copies somewhere safe where no one especially the second born, who has the curious habit to rummage through your stuff like a raccoon, would find it.

Speaking of the devil, he bursted through your door, screaming, terrorizing you in the process.

«  MC ! Have you seen the cover ?! I received the picture by e-mail a minute ago. I’m so hot ! »

He speed walked to your bed, not caring that he was still in his pajamas, his hair looking like a bird’s nest.

Before you could do anything, his eyes fells on the numerous magazines.

«  Ugh… »

None answer came to your mind due to the embarrassement you were feeling.

«  How many of these did you buy ? Damn, this picture is amazing ! What do you think ? »

He looked at you intently, his self pide evident on his face.

«  Why do you think I bought some many ? You look marvelous ! »

It was too much to look at him, you kept your eyes on the magazine, hoping that not seeing his face would prevent the incoming blush. The silence became heavy, normally Mammon would blabber nonsense to fill the blanks.

«  AHAHAH Of course I am ! I always look fabulous , I’m the great Mammon after all ! »

It shoulve have sounded so confident but the stutter and blush didn’t make it very convincing.

«  You’re right. I’ve seen you during the photoshoot and it’s not surprising, you’re a really good model. Here, take one as a souvenir, I keep one for myself and distribute the others to your brothers, I bet they’ll be proud of you » you smiled at him, handing him one of the copies.

He seized it and looked at the cover, before lowering the magazine, and looking at the floor.

«  Do…you really think that ? »

He looked adorable when he was flustered. Oh Mammon…

«  Of course ! And if you ever get the other pics I can make an album so you’ll have you own professional book that we can look at whenever we want »

He perked up at your words and dared to show you his flushing face.

«  Well, thanks, I’ll think about it. But… you know, you have the real me to look at right ? »

That made you get off your bed and walk up to him. And got on your tiptoes and kissed his cheek, which made him blush even more than he already was.

«  I know that . But I’m just showing how proud of you I am, Mammon »

And then you wrapped your arms around him, hugging him tightly.

The avatar of greed was speechless, his arms laid at his side,  under  his disbelief. But he slowly  encircled your little frame, letting himself slump against you, even burying his face in the crook of your neck.

«  Thank you » he whispered , holding you thight

«  Don’t thank me for pointing how amazing you are, Mammon »

That was the only thing he need to start tearing up in their embrace, thanking whoever decided to send you to him.
