False Pretenses

Part 1: The Spark

At the peak of the war between angels and demons, a demon general finds out a newly captured angel is his soulmate - or is he? 

Stuck in enemy territory, an angel needs to escape before his nemesis finds out his true identity - or worse, before the lie he’s weaving between them comes to light. 

When his friend goes missing in enemy territory, Nimai loses all reason. It’s not a good idea to sneak into demon lands searching for them, and yet he makes a plan that’s bound to fail and goes anyway. 

He is the first one not to be surprised when he’s found and captured. 

The demons bind his wings in an uncomfortable harness meant to keep angels grounded. They touch them to do it, which is worse than the harness itself. The crawling sensation makes Nimai grit his teeth and fight not to lash out and make the situation worse for himself. If he fights back, they will break them. 

They hang him up by his wings and leave him in a cold, dark cell, waiting. 

What a foolish way to die. He hopes his friend will never know what happened to him. They are probably dead. Nimai is a pragmatic angel, and maybe - just maybe - he doesn’t want to live in a world without them. 

It takes about an hour before the door opens again and none other than Commander Zeran walks in. 

Despite having made peace with his circumstances, the sight of the demon still makes Nimai tense up. There’s no real way to escape, no one will come to rescue him. Now it’s a matter of going out with dignity, and keeping his lips sealed. 

That won’t be possible if Zeran recognizes him. 

Nimai hides behind his hair, head hung low, and listens as the footsteps approach. 

“I am told you were found putting your nose where it doesn’t belong,” Zeran says, a hint of amusement to his words. “Awfully unwise of you.” He takes a minute to circle Nimai’s bound form, watching him, his bound wings, the simple uniform he’s wearing - not his usual, proper uniform, thank the gods. 

When he’s done, he comes in front of him and reaches for his hair, taking hold of the roots and pulling Nimai’s head back. “Now, let’s see what…” His voice trails off, his dark eyes going a little wide. 

Nimai looks back at him, blank faced, slowly breathing out. “Commander.” For once he allows his accent to give the words a gentle lilt. “A pleasure.” 

The demon tilts his head gently to the side, eyes strangely intense. “Hello, darling.” A soft murmur, almost awed. “What a situation you got yourself in, mh?”

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

I want to post this here too because I’ve seen it happen a few times

Please understand that there are cultural differences and language differences, if you see this happening let the person clarify what they meant, that person might just not be familiar with words the western side of the internet use

People who experience romantic and/or sexual attraction are so funny sometimes

They will ask "who's your crush?" And you will answer "i don't have one" and then it starts

"Why are you liying?", "you can trust me", "don't hide", "i don't belive you", "what?! Everyone has one come on", "hmhu it's [name] isn't it?".

in the extreme cases (mine once) they won't let you even leave the conversation and place it started

And so you lie

And when if "confession" comes from "name" and you reject it every single persson who made you lie will be angry.

Honey. Why the fuck are you angry? You decided a lie is more realistic than reality

Apparently much-needed reminder that reposting artists' art (by saving the images or screenshotting them and reuploading them yourself) on other platforms without the artists' expressed permission and without credit is theft and an insult to their passion and craft. You are profiting (in views, in attention, in feedback) from someone else's work and ideas, who do not get that feedback for sharing their creation.

If you are an art reposter, you are a thief and I have no respect for you.

Ok so I have been stewing this crossover au in my brain nonstop for the past few days and. I am nothing if not committed to the bit, so. Volume cover redraws :)

Here are the originals:

If you want to read more about my one piece spy x family crossover, keep reading!

So the idea is simple! Crossover reincarnation au where ASL is reborn in Spy x Family. They’re each born separately and none of them are born with the same names as their previous lives, and with no way of finding each other, they each find their own thing to do in the world.

Sabo, too used to the dangers of being a spy, eventually finds a cause to devote himself to again, in preventing war from engulfing the country he was reborn in. Ace, drawn to fire as he was in his previous life, used arson as a means to rob rich people for sustenance and survival, and is eventually scouted and hired by Garden as a fire specialist and assassin. And Luffy, though born in perhaps the poorest condition, grows up happily and takes whatever part time jobs he wants to do.

The thing about Sabo is that, as much as he seems like a young man of good repute and high standing within society, everyone in WISE knows that he is a massive nuisance. Nobody knew in the beginning how a child less than half the age of most of their veteran agents could have the same skills and knowledge in their profession. Sabo was— and still is— hyper competent, and by the time WISE figured out just how much of a menace to society he was, it was too late.

Ace forgot for the first few years of his new life that he wasn’t made of fire, and consequently, received multiple accidental burns. This did not deter him, however, from growing up to be a very skilled arsonist, well-practiced in every which way to start a dumpster fire or house fire. As a teenage he would use this often to draw attention as he robbed rich people blind. When he was caught, he was given an ultimatum by Garden: join them and receive payment for starting fires and causing problems under contract, or face the government and authorities for his crimes. Begrudgingly, he joined Garden, but eventually comes to appreciate that he can make substantial money in his element.

Luffy is Luffy. No telepathy or experimentation, no fancy schools, no gimmicks or secret identities. But he has still lived an extremely colorful life in this world, full of fascinating and kind individuals who have helped him grow up healthy and relatively happy. He goes where he is free, and he takes whatever part time jobs he wants in order to make the minimum he needs to survive.

Ace and Sabo find each other first, in their late teens, and neither of them realize that the other remembers their previous life, but both refuse to separate. (Sabo thinks Ace doesn’t remember, because Ace didn’t recognize him. Ace never saw Sabo grow up past 10, however, so he doesn’t recognize older Sabo immediately. By the time he does realize who exactly Sabo is, Sabo has backtracked and pretends to know Ace from a dream, or from somewhere else.)

Sabo’s attachment to Ace, predictably, causes problems between Sabo and WISE, but by then, Sabo is indispensable to the organization, and they make an exception for Sabo to be able to remain with Ace, so long as Ace never finds out what Sabo’s actual job is. Ace, on the other hand, hides his job because he doesn’t want his brother, who he has just found and who does not know Ace well enough yet, to know that he makes a living from killing people.

And they find Luffy sometime afterwards, prior to the beginning of the Spy x Family canon. Luffy figures out, not long after moving in with his brothers, both of his brothers’ secret occupations and the fact that both of them remember their past memories. He thinks it is common knowledge, however, and so he never brings it up.
