MAMMON'S HUMAN AU 3

i completed this a while before, but i was hesitant to post it since it didn't have much. (if anyone wants to write their own version of this, you're free to do so! just add some credit hehe)

finally, motivation- *it gets snatched*

also i tried to make levi more smug in this chapter? idk why

also marco/mammon's love language is definitely giving/receiving gifts you cannot tell me anything other than that

also should i joke about how i removed most of the drama and actually good plot from the game to just create some 'them being brothers' moments L M F A O

Marco yelped as his younger brother glided across the hallway, into his room. 'Man, what the fuck is goin' on?!' Marco mentally sobbed in his mind, widened blue eyes showing panic and uneasiness. "I just wanna talk about anime, you know?" Leviathan had a smile on his face. 'I.. somehow don't believe that.' He thought, a drip of sweat falling from his forehead.

It wasn't like it was hot, it was just anime logic.

"Why do ya wanna talk to someone about anime, eh?" Marco asked, troubled. "Uh, I'm an otaku, duh." Levi rolled his eyes and scoffed, and finally they reached the room. "I have the coolest room here, so you better be fawning over the room! You should be proud that I would let a human in here! The only reason you're here is because you aren't a normie!" Levi rambled, huffing his chest in pride.

"Eh? Understood, I guess." Marco shook his own hand, furrowing his brows at the tight grip of the purple haired demon. "Well," Levi held a smug look. "You better appreciate it. It's been too long since you've been here, after all." His gaze softened, and He muttered the last part to make sure Marco didn't hear it.

Leviathan slammed-opened the door, revealing the bright lights. He grinned brightly, it did look good for his brother! "I'm gonna tell you the lore of every anime!" Levi exclaimed, excited. "Uhhhhh." Marco felt like He was about to die. His eyes darted across the room, observing the furniture placed in the room.

"Is that a goldfish?" Marco asked, looking at the happily swimming creature in the fishbowl. "That's Henry 2.0! He's named after my favourite protagonist! He's from TSL or The Tale Of The Seven Lords!" Leviathan gushed, starry eyed. '2.0? What the hell happened to the first one?' Marco shivered, the possibilities endless. (most of them are associated with murder)

"Oh right, TSL!" Levi's eyes widened, and blush coated his cheeks (passion for TSL). "Do you know TSL?" He inquired. "No, I was close to reading it, though." Marco answered truthfully. "You've been wasting your time… Oh well, I'll tell you all about it, consider it an honor! TSL is about.." Leviathan began his storytelling. Marco scrunched his nose. This'll be a long day.

Two students were currently whispering and talking to each other. "Hey, dude. Look at him, He's the human everyone's been talking about. Doesn't He kind of look like Lord Mammon?" A pursed their lips, staring at Marco. "Oh Diavolo, He really does. If we eat him, will we get punished?" B joked, a sly smirk on his face.

Marco froze. 'Demons n humans.. Demons kill humans.. Fuck!' Sweat dripped down from his forehead as He took a run for it. 'I forgot about the relationship between humans and demons cause they weren't acting hostile to me! I searched up on Demon Chrome about Mammon. He… didn't have the best reputation.' He narrowed his eyes, scoffing. 'Wonder why it makes me sour..' He sighed.

"Hey, you there." A light voice interrupted his train of thought. "That's right, I'm talking to you, the human with that frightened, tormented look on your face that demons love sooo much." He curtly smiled. 'Damn, who hurt 'em? Whatever, this guy looks like a medicine dealer.' Marco insulted in his thoughts.

i give up on trying to do the actual storyline. fuck it, i'm gonna do things the non sensible way

"Do you want demons to come and eat you? Take it easy, won't you?" The white haired man chuckled. "I'm guessing you're the human 'Marco', hm? Your DDD fell out and I have it." His lips curled into a smile. 'I didn't feel my DDD fall out. Are you sure you ain't a mercury dealer or a thief?' Marco huffed. "Thanks or whatever, yeah I'm Marco." The other white haired man replied.

(mercury is a reference to mercury drug, a store in my area)

"Anyways, who're you and how d'ya know my name? Am I famous or somethin?" Marco joked a bit, but still held his ground. The other white haired man's lips parted, but He recovered his sly smile pretty quickly. "Don't you know? Anyone could be a celebrity at RAD if they're a human exchange student. You have Leviathan as your guardian, and people say that you have already gained the favour of all the Demon Lords. Seeing as you look like him, I guess I believe it now." He chuckled lightly, amused.

"Oh, right. Here's your phone." The man pursed his lips and gave Marco his phone. "I'm Solomon, 'also' a human." Solomon introduced himself politely, waving his hand. 'Wait… heh?!' Marco's jaw dropped, stilling. "Oh? Did I not seem to be a human like you? Well, that's a little offensive." Solomon sighed, a dismissive expression on his face.

"Whatever, most people don't believe I'm a human as well. I've secured a pact with… a certain amount of demons." Solomon's smile wavered as He whispered that last part. The bell suddenly rang, indicating that you should probably head over to class. "Oh, it seems our meeting was cut short." Solomon perked up at the sound.

"Well, I wish you the best, Mammon Morningstar." He smirked, leaving Marco alone, confused. "Weird ass mother fucker.." Marco shivered. 'Whateva', I need to go to class.' He tutted and sighed, but started to walk to class. If He's honest, Marco felt as if He never went to actual human school. He has vague memories, but it's as if He.. just wasn't that person.

It's like this body was possessed by another soul, before it was handed over to him.

Like magic, twirling around his brain trying its best to take over the conscious state of mind, trying to make him believe He was crazy for thinking that way.

But well, magic can't overpower a demon lord.

The spell didn't work, but there were still bits of magic that managed to come in and succeed with little parts of his brain.

It was…. unnecessarily weird. And confusing.

"Ah.. Marco?" A ravenette interrupted the short monologue. "Eh?" Marco perked up, looking at the black haired demon. "Ah it's…. me, Lucifer." He pursed his lips as He stared at the white haired man. "I see, you were talking with Solomon?" His gaze hardened. A shiver went up Marco's spine. Jeez, the devildom is terrifying.

"You.. shouldn't talk with him. He may seem harmless at first, but He has a ring that's imbued with magic. He has secured a pact with many demons. He's dangerous. Don't interact with him. I'm sure that Lord Diavolo would think it's pleasant that you survived the first day, I suppose." Lucifer coughed and looked away, narrowing his eyes.

'He reminds me of a tsundere…' Marco grimaced, but scoffed as He registered what the demon said. "The only reason I survived was 'cause Levi wouldn't let me escape his damned room. He even brought dinner up to his room! He nearly forced me t'a sleep in his room as well!" He let a groan escape his mouth. It was tiring.

Lucifer glanced at Marco, and a sigh was let out of his throat. "Leviathan.. That idiot." A tic mark appeared on his forehead. "I apologize for his behavior. He's.. excited, that's all." He narrowed his eyes as He uttered that sentence. He was clearly annoyed.

"Eh?" He blinked in surprise. 'Wasn't He the Avatar of Pride? He shouldn't be givin' up his pride like this..' He raised a brow. "Uh.. sure, all's good I guess." He sweatdropped, walking away from the demon lord. "Ah..!" Lucifer's eyes widened, as if noticing something. "Hm?" Marco hummed. "N-nevermind, Get to class." Lucifer commanded.

"Aye aye." He mimicked a pirate and walked away, confused with what the fuck was going on here.

Lucifer sighed, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a black credit card. "I wonder… Would He like it?" He asked himself, before putting it back into his pocket. He should go head over to Lord Diavolo, there were some reports He had to deliver to him.

'Would He really like it? It seems like his Greed has been wiped from him. In fact, it seems as if his virtue (charity) has come back. But I can't judge immediately, as we've just met each other once again. Wait, why am I even thinking that this human is Mammon? The chances of him being here would be.. nearly impossible. Unless someone is pulling the strings, It couldn't happen.' Lucifer thought in his mind.

How troubling. Does this idiot not know that Lord Diavolo and Barbatos have planned this ever since the beginning? After Mammon got transmigrated into a shut-in called Marco… Oh wait, I can't just spoil what happened. Go read the old planning for the Mammon Human AU (on tumblr. this is here because i posted this on ao3 as well) if you wanna theorize.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

i am writing an accidental haiku to attract haiku bot

[linkedin-offficial]

is this anything . sky:cotl au

details (aka my rambling) under the cut

mostly set upon the whole idea that caine came from eden and tries to help everyone gain their wings (albeit doing a terrible job the entire time)

bubble keeps the name bubble!

they r a mantatee :3 suprisingly chaotic for a light creature and sort of has the "eat light and puff out candles" personality that caine should have but doesn't

i contemplated caine being called "the creature" just for shits and giggles (and eventually went with it) since im absolutely certain everyone who ever meets him ever would be terrified for a little bit until they realize hes sentient; he doesn't understand that the name is supposed to be sort of derogatory

caine is the only one with wings because hes the only one who can canonically fly/float!

(and yes his head is supposed to be a dark plant . i like to think im big brain for this)

the reason why his dark plant head is tinted red btw . my thought process was basically "ah yes. red = good bcus eden :]" even though thats convoluted since everyone hates eden but that makes it better in a way. i think

zooble > mismatched worksmith

"bows" given to them by ragatha as an identifier; not like theyd need one though ..

constantly making their own prosthetics due to growing boredom with their previous ones (autism™) and also carved the designs into their mask themself

kinger > reluctant royalty

same old kinger as usual .. when asked what he rules he doesnt particularly remember nor have an answer so hes usually treated with respect out of pity for being old and senile

second tallest behind jax , also the oldest (if you dont count caine i guess? whos sort of. ageless)

ragatha > plush friendfinder

matching bow with jax :3 sibling moment! (yes i like the ragatha + jax sibling dynamic . its amazing to me)

right eye does not glow and actually looks like a hollow hole if you get close enough to her face! also clothing making buddies with zooble :] she taught them how to sew without pricking themself

gangle > wrapped up theatre-goer (i had such a hard time thinking of a name .. and to be honest?? im not solid on this but WHAGEVER.)

shortest. obviously

likes to write plays in her spare time and reads them to zooble while they work

clothes are sectioned and Very flowy, and has a few (cracked and broken) masks she likes to use for play improv (and also uses for herself sometimes if she has a hard time expressing a certain emotion)

jax > towering tease (it sounds stupid but THIS is so fucking funny.i cannot resist this)

tallest OBVIOUSLY. like stupidly tall . has its advantages and disadvantages (like being able to steal things from gangle with no consequences . on the other hand. doorframes)

him being tall and having that be the only thing hes got going for him is absolutely hilarious to me and im leaning into that hard

he has a tail also, but its small and not visible from the chart

pomni > jittery jester (i had to look up "other words for anxious" for this.my intelligence is showing)

pretty much the only one i referenced real in game clothing for, which sort of fits! protag moment

this was all i really had, since other established things like their personalities and relationships arent really changed much. but this was fun to think about :3 input is appreciated !

kh2 except Sora & Riku stay on the islands and go to a school post-game and also this happens bc I think it's funny

genuinely never seen anything like hilda. its so unique with its limited color palette, character animation, shape language, lines, everything, not to mention the voice acting, characterization, world building etc etc. i could write multiple essays about how awesome this cartoon is and it wouldnt do it justice

When I first started typing this out I apologized for this vent but you know what? I'm not the least bit sorry, the BG3 fandom needs to hear this.

Being a queer fan in this fandom is beyond depressing, even more so if you're a queer dude or masc aligned person. It's like being transported 10-15 years back in time and I mean that in the worst way. Back to when producing queer content whether M/M or F/F would at best get you passive-aggressively ignored by the majority of fandom. Worst case involved doxxing and financial ruining people for writing characters as queer just in case you were wondering what that was like back then.

If you're trans of any stripe then it's even worse.

People will bend over backwards to defend this with preferences but you've conspired to create a climate where events will be promoted no matter the content as long as straightness can be assumed and centered, but the moment an event is created to specifically promote and create queer content it is suspect and needs to be vetted before it can be considered if it can maybe be promoted.

The BG3 fandom's frankly reactionary and conservative behavior is almost making me regret picking up this game in the first place. It is certainly making me regret getting involved in the fandom even in a small capacity. This isn't a place where fans like me are welcome, the best we can hope for is being allowed to be tolerated and only if we accept living at the edge of it and lived for too long in a world where this is all I'm ever allowed to put up with it in a space that's supposed to be for fun.

Sweet!Tale: The Game | Devlog #1

Soo week 1 is ending so it's time to show my progress for now! There isn't much but I like what I've got so far.

Sprites

Frisk already has their full spritesheet recoloured, both versions of flowey only have their default and talking spries finished

Mechanics/coding

I have a first version of working menu, a pretty much finished room we fall into, and Flowey encounter is the only thing left to consider second room ready. Fades between rooms look nice and general things like player size, speed, etc are the same as in undertale.

Problems

Menu is blurry, we can't see game version properly, resizing menu into its unblured size makes camera shaky, no Idea how it's connected

Turns out I'm really bad at following tutorials as I keep thinking of how I will have to reuse all the objects in later rooms

Dialogue system is pain (for reason above)

Plans

Considering I can't really continue without dialogues, it's either redrawing backrounds, Flowey sprites, or dialogues themselves. I choose dialogues while sometimes returning to Flowey. Also not to lose motivation, but that's obvious

I’ve been on a real Fearless kick lately and it always makes me feel some kinda way about Olivia Rodrigo’s body of work. and not even primarily about her and her talent and her songwriting, just about how different an experience it seems to be growing up as a young millennial woman versus growing up as a young gen z woman. take the total absence of any jealousy/self-image song on Taylor’s debut album or Fearless—because social media wasn’t this omnipresent perfect image factory and so the insecurity of growing up looked more like “Place In This World” or “The Outside”, fundamental experiences of questioning and longing that are deeply connected to our humanity, as opposed to “jealousy jealousy”, “pretty isn’t pretty”, or “lacy” which are founded on an obsession spiral that is literally only possible on that level because of the invention of the smartphone.

look at “Tell Me Why” or “Other Side of the Door” as opposed to “vampire” or “logical”—Taylor’s approach was a very straightforward “you acted this way and this is how it made me feel." it wasn’t until later that she started to make statements about patterns of behavior, because she simply couldn’t see them except in hindsight! she couldn’t say “this is what kind of man you are” or “this is what sort of relationship we had” until she had fully processed what happened—which is when we get songs like “Fifteen” and “Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve” and “The Manuscript”. but because the younger generation breathes the air of pop psychology buzzwords, Olivia is diagnosing her exes and labeling her relationships right away. and you might say this is a good thing, that young women are armed with terms like “gaslighting” and taught to be suspicious of age gaps because of the power differential. but having the knowledge doesn’t seem to have protected Olivia at all. she still makes all the same mistakes, there’s literally a whole song all about knowing something is a bad idea and doing it anyway. she still dates the older guy, but then she has so many labels readymade to explain why it didn’t feel good that she doesn’t ever actually get down to saying how it felt—because I don’t think she knows. the younger generation acts like processing an experience means figuring out what tiktokified sound bite applies to it and then slapping the label on and moving forward. “my parents were emotionally abusive” “my ex was a narcissist” “my ex best friend gaslit me” etc. but it seems to me that’s skipping some necessary stages of actually processing your shit. “vampire” is Olivia trying to write “Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve” before she’s ever written (or felt) “Tell Me Why”. it’s the difference between “here’s to you and your temper, yes I remember what you said last night / and I know that you see what you’re doing to me, tell me why” on the one hand and “went for me and not her ‘cause girls your age know better” or “master manipulator, you’re so good at what you do” or “you convinced me it was all in my mind” on the other hand.

and another side effect of this, the big names in this younger generation of artists aren’t really writing love songs, and I don’t think that’s accidental. they literally do not have the vocabulary to do so. the psychology buzzwords that go around are all about toxic relationships and red flags. and so, deprived of a way of thinking about being in love, the love songs either fall flat (“I’ll go anywhere he goes and he says I’m so American”) or they simply don’t exist. the open-hearted sincerity of a “Hey Stephen” or “Jump Then Fall” is nowhere to be found.

I love the idea of Leo being despondent when around Kriby because of the trauma he's reminded of-

But! I also love Leo protecting Kirby from his family members, who really hate Kirby because of what he represents.

Donnie: do we really have to keep it?

Leo, doing the Nala stompy stomp meme with Kirby: yes.

that's the reason why Kirby has their own route now. because Leo chose to keep them
