OH that self ship poll had me wondering …
#reblogging this here since this is where all my x reader is#I'm somewhere in 0 or 1 I think#probably 1#just because I'm me I don't think I can fully separate myself from any character I write#but I don't deliberately make the reader myself#usually I think of it as a more generic faceless character lol#for longer stories I give them their own personality but it still isn't purposefully me#not obey me

CC idk if you're familiar with black butler but while I was trying to explain to my husband last night why Barb was difficult to write for I described him as "Sebastian coded" and that got me thinking Barbatos and Sebastian in a room with MC. What's the tension like. Are they tag teaming or competing with each other. It sounds like due trouble and my heart and soul are here for it
Silver my love~
I have not seen Black Butler, but I have heard about it! I really should watch it, I know enough to know Sebastian is also a demon butler and obviously that's something I quite enjoy lol.
Now I don't feel that I know enough about Sebastian's character to say how he might react, but I have always thought of Barbatos as somewhat possessive. And yet he also cares highly about pleasing MC. So I kinda imagine him wanting to be competitive initially, but if MC is like I want you to play nice, he would try his best lol. Or potentially there's a bit of a blend. Like they're pretending to work together to pleasure MC, but there's this underlying competition where they're desperately trying to one up each other.
Either way, MC is losing their whole mind because two demon butlers focusing all their attention on them is gonna be absolutely amazing no matter what~
Ahaha my mind is totally in the gutter right now. I kinda like jealous!Barb ngl asldkjffkj. I'm kinda imagining Barb losing his cool over it. Oh but it'd also be pretty hot if it turned out they were into each other a;ldkfjdkfj. There are SO MANY possibilities~

I need help describing the setting... Like idk, it was bright outside with trees?
I also need help with dialogue I cannot keep saying he said, she said, they said
Bows for barb
Okay so setting description. You don't need to describe every little detail. The goal is to give the reader the important information and let them fill in the rest. One of the best ways to do this is by using multiple senses. If you're writing in third person, you want to use the viewpoint character's senses to describe these. If you're writing in first or second person, it's the "I" or the "you" that you're describing things through.
It was bright outside with trees - okay, are they in a forest? Is it painfully bright? Is it only painfully bright because your character has spent too much time inside? Is the air clean and crisp or is it foggy and damp? Does the character hear wind in the trees? The singing of birds? Can they smell the decay of the leaves on the forest floor? Do they see different types of trees? Are the trees all encompassing?
Or are they at a park? It's bright and the trees are well maintained. They can hear the chatter of other park goers, the occasional quack of a duck from a nearby pond. They smell the scent of hot dogs from a stand selling them. Or perhaps it's more of a garden and they're smelling the thick floral scent of many different kinds of flowers. The park itself is fairly normal, but maybe they're there because they're looking for a specific statue that will give them information that advances the plot. In such a case, you would describe that statue. Maybe it's the statue of a dragon that towers over the rest of the park and is extremely prominent. A plaque explains the history of it. Etc etc.
General senses are good for describing settings, especially if your particular character would notice something because of who they are. After that, you'll want to point out specific parts of the setting that are relevant to the story. Talk about how your character interacts with the setting. If you're going for atmospheric, you can zoom out from your character's experience just a little and get poetic with the prose. You can also talk about how the place has a specific feeling to it, like the forest is hushed or the park is lively.
Hopefully some of that helps, but feel free to ask follow up questions!
As for dialogue, you absolutely can always say he said, she said, they said, and in fact you should use those most of the time.
I know there's a lot of posts and advice out there that give you a list of words to use other than said, but I personally find that advice to be questionable at best.
Dialogue tags such as he said, she said, and they said are there only for clarity. They aren't meant to do much and it's like that on purpose. They're supposed to help the reader understand who says what and that's all they're supposed to do. They're so normal that a reader is likely going to skim right over them. And that's okay, that's what you want. If you get too creative with those dialogue tags, it'll pull the reader right out of the story.
There are like maybe three exceptions. Sometimes you can use "asked" instead of "said" and I do this a lot because it just makes more sense in my head. Technically I don't think said would be incorrect, but it feels more correct to me personally to use asked when a character is asking a question. But that's also pretty standard and not likely to pull a reader out of the story.
Another exception of sorts is actual activity. Like when your character moves or something. For example.
"I don't think that's a good idea," she said.
He sat down across from her. "I think it's a wonderful idea."
You don't have to include "he said" because the action of him sitting down indicates that he's the one speaking. You can just leave off the dialogue tag all together. It's best not to overuse this though because then your characters are moving around too much while they're talking lol. That can also be distracting unless it's purposeful. Like maybe they're doing it because they're trying to unsettle the person they're talking to.
The last exception is the occasional more descriptive tag. You only want to use this sort of thing when you kinda want to pull your reader out of the story - just enough to indicate that something significant is happening. For instance.
"What are you doing?" she hissed.
This is letting the reader know that the character is angry, that's she's likely whispering the question to someone she's pissed at. It works as long as you don't use it twenty more times in the same scene. And it sets the tone of her voice for any continuing conversation she then has with the other person. Like-
"I was trying to make it look nice!" he said, the display behind him completely haphazard.
"It looks like trash," she said.
Behind her, the manager cleared his throat. She turned and smiled at him pleasantly.
"Anything going on here?" the manager asked, trying to look around her.
"Nothing I can't handle!" she said brightly.
Now you know that when she said it looks like trash, she's still saying it in that hissing tone. But by adding a single "brightly" to the last dialogue statement, we know she's putting on a fake happy voice for her boss.
The other thing is these "-ly" adverbs. You'll see a lot of advice saying not to use them. Personally I don't think it matters that much. I think they can do a good job of conveying a change in tone without you having to over describe it. That last sentence might have had to be "she said with a false brightness" which is fine but you can also convey the same thing with a bit of context ("smiled at him pleasantly") and only the word "brightly."
Another thing you can do to kind of shake up the dialogue tags is to use the character's names instead of their pronouns. I didn't do that because I didn't come up with names for these hypothetical characters lol but don't be afraid of using your characters' names.
Hopefully some of this is helpful! This is just how I approach these things. As with all such advice, it really depends on your own personal writing style and what you're trying to achieve with your story. Try out some different things and use what works best for you!

Hello it's been few months and I still think about that mc who writes bunch of fics of their fav characters, keeping it in a drawer just for the character to find them And then insisting on doing everything in those fics Oh the spiciness
Hello there anon!
I don't remember this particular scenario, but I've also answered a ton of asks so it's possible it's been discussed and just slipped my mind lol.
That'd be a good strategy to use, though. Imagine MC just writing all the different things they wanna do... anything and everything. The characters in question find it while MC isn't around. They read through it and are like !!! and ?!?!?!?
And then it turns into 😈😈😈
The next time they're with MC, they just go ahead and do everything the read... and MC is like h-how did you know!? And they're just like, I know you~
Later on they admit to finding the fic and MC is like OH NO that's embarrassing adkjfjkldjf
#funny though#I especially see Asmo taking advantage of such knowledge#but I think any of them would to a certain extent#obey me#anon asks#misc answers

But mother I love him
Not that I wouldn't already want to stay with him forever at the Demon Lord's Castle, but I love the idea of pretending that he has to convince me. Because ohhh what sort of thing would he come up with in order to entice us to remain?
Siiigh. He's perfection, I say.

Welp I’m back at the building again.
After months of not obessing over obey me anymore it awakened again like a beast and now I’m here lost and confused in the mist of chaos 😔
Lol that was a little dramatic, i just wanna say hi cuz you’re my favourite blog to visit of this fandom! Hope you’re doing great!
Welcome back, anon!
It is pretty chaotic right now, due to the abrupt ending of the game. I know for myself it's been tough because playing the game makes me sad now... because I'm a big baby lol.
But it's great to have you back! I'm so glad to hear you like my blog! I'm doing okay, I'm just barely getting over a really terrible cold so I've had some asks piling up for the past few days. But I'm still trucking along! I hope you're doing well, too!
#thank you for liking my blog~#I feel that it's slowed down a bit#but I'll get over this slump at some point probably#obey me#anon asks#misc answers

Echo is a mixed breed, a breed between absolute chaos, a species I made up called chaos servants (more on them later), and a cat human hybrid.
Echo's mom was the chaos servant and his dad was a cat hybrid. Long story short, Echo is born. Echo is technically a chaos servant, knowing right from wrong is basically automatically programmed into them because they need to create chaos. Feed it.
If Echo feeds into his chaos servant side markings start appearing on his body, typically on the left side of his face first, then making their way across.
Unfortunately for him, a cat is not possible of not causing a bit of chaos.
Bows for barb
Oh well that's for sure. Cats are always chaotic. Mine is mostly chill, but when she does act up, she's an absolute menace. She yells like she's being murdered horribly and she likes to break pots.
I can only imagine how chaotic things must be for a being who is a mix of those things lol.

Kori is known as a shepherd, and sacrificial lamb.
Why? That's what he does. He literally leads a 'lamb' to slaughter. Kori is seen as... Hm... How do I put this... Kori is seen as something only the best of the best can have. Only the best can even think of sacrificing Kori.
Now, because Kori is such a prized possession among other things he can choose when he is sacrificed. He initially was going to choose the same year he was brought to devildom, unintentionally of course, however it's kinda hard to get sacrificed when you're in an entirely different realm.
Kori has a choker connected to a silver pendant of sorts. On one side is a knife and on the other side is the head of a lamb.
Kori was taken in as a sacrificial lamb after his parents died.
Bows for barb
Okay so let me get this straight... he is both shepherd and lamb? Leading his own to the slaughter?
Dare I ask what the purpose of this sacrifice is?

I'm curious about which of the boys would be nagging MC for eating the foods raw in whatever video game(s) instead of cooking them first
- 🦊
I mean, I suppose it depends on the video game. If eating them raw makes no difference, then it won't matter. But since most mechanics have it where cooking the ingredients increases their usefulness, I definitely see Levi getting on MC's case about it.
I could see Beel wondering about it too, but for a different reason. Levi would be like you should make your resources as helpful as possible! And Beel would be more like why just eat an apple when you can make an apple pie? Like he's thinking about how delicious it'd be irl lol.
But otherwise I can't imagine any of the rest caring. They're probably just like well you do whatever you want there, MC...

Oh hello I love fluff and I love you, so I wish to take this opportunity to request number 14 from the first list with Barbatos~ that just felt like something he would do tee hee~ (though if it’s taken already I can also see him doing 1, 2, or 5 from the first list too… whatever strikes your fancy really)
Thank you beloved I am smothering you in kisses 💋💕💋💕
CEEEECEEEE OMG
Can't believe I see the day where you're in MY inbox requesting ME (funny how life turns out) Ngl I was sweating this whole time, cause you and are are like, THEE Barbatos writers. Truly, Im sweating posting this Drabble. He may not be perfectly in cannon the way you write him but I am bowing with this simple offering by being graced by your presence in my inbox. Ilysm<3333 Words: 935 Fluff prompt 14. taking your chin in between their fingers, wordlessly asking for permission
“How's this?” You inquire while twisting the pastry in hand, checking for any signs of imperfection. Barbatos leans in with a thoughtful index and thumb to his chin while he scans over the delicate decoration you adorned it with and hums pleased.
“Excellent. Your skill rivals my own.”
You roll your eyes coyly at his commendation. “You flatter me.”
“I wouldn’t dare.” Barbatos stretches his palms out to take the pastry and place it on the tea stand for Lord Diavolo’s afternoon tea. “I simply believe your skill is sometimes underappreciated, and deserves more recognition.
You smile at this, looking down under the guise of working on the next pastry to hide the heat that threatening to bloom across your cheeks. You had been spending more time with him over the last few months. It had started when you ran into Barbatos whilst he was running a few errands for the Young Master. You had offered a helping hand mentioning ‘you have enough work, and I need a break from the brothers.’ He gave a knowing smile and accepted the extra hands all the way back to the castle, humoring your small talk and little vents about the trouble that the brothers had constantly gotten themselves into, with Barbatos supplying an occasional oh my and oh dear paired with an empathetic sigh.
He had asked you to stay a while longer and assist him in tasting some new menu items he was considering adding into rotation for Lord Diavolo, but you had known it was an extended olive branch to provide just a tad more refuge and moment of peace, knowing very well how troublesome the brothers could be. From then, your visits frequented, shared time had grown longer, and feelings grew fonder.
A soft tap against your temple brings you back to the present, interrupting your stroll down memory lane. You hasn’t realized how much time has passed while mindlessly fixing the pastries before you.
“You seem to be somewhere else.” Barbatos mentions with a grin and you flush when you realize just how spaced out you’ve been.
“Oh… I’ve just been focused on getting this done is all.”
He seems to accept your excuse, much to your relief, but there’s a sense of anxiety that lingers over while cleaning up the kitchen. You wonder if you’ve over stayed your welcome, maybe wonder if you’ve spent to much time at his side, he is a busy man after all.
“I should go before you grow tired of my company.” You say in half jest, wanting to break the tension you’ve been feeling with a bit of humor.
Barbatos stops his movement before gingerly wiping the flour from his hands.
“There isnt a timeline I can see where I would grow weary of your company.”
There’s a certain giddiness that fills your veins, it flutters along your skin and threatens to carry you far away, past the human realm and into the celestial heavens themselves. You take a deep breath to sooth yourself and bring you back down into the Devildom, curious questions threatening to spill from your lips to inquire exactly what it is he meant, the little implications hiding away in between each word Barbatos always used. It was hard to believe he would say such a thing, but you knew that he never said anything he didn’t mean, every sentence carrying its true meaning even if it wasn't outright direct. Before you could find the right question to ask, he spoke up again.
“You seem at a loss for words.” There's an air of amusement laced in his tone as he turns around to step closer to you. “Do you think I’m flattering you again?”
“Perhaps.” You toss back playfully, biting back a smile.
Barbatos takes a moment to observe you, his verdant eyes flickering over you in curiosity before settling on your face. He hums thoughtfully before bringing his half lidded gaze to you again. It’s odd at first, feeling bare underneath his eyes, but soon soothes into a warm bath, basking in each other's presence. Your fingers itch to touch him, but you scold yourself at the thought, not wanting to take any potential misstep in the delicate moment. Suddenly the feeling of his warm fingertips caressing your chin, tipping your chin upwards to meet his lips, hovering a breadth away, asking a wordless permission.
“Shall I prove it to you?” He whispers It feels surreal to have him so close, to feel his touch burning into your skin and scent enveloping your senses. There's a momentary pause where you want to pinch yourself to check if you're dreaming, because how else could he be so close and willing to show his devotion to you? You cast the thought aside to focus, and cherish the feeling of his form against your own, letting your desire to overtake any reservation you held. “Yes.” Your answer is a silent prayer.
One he answers by cupping the side of your face in a gentle cradle as he moves to slot his lips against your own. The previous feeling of fluttering erupted into full elation as he puls you closer into him and parts your lips to invite his tongue into our lips, begging to taste and cherish you, his hands now roaming freely against your back.
His lips part from yours, allowing a breath.
“Meet me in the gardens later.” He presses another chaste kiss to your lips as a promise. “I will show you just how much I enjoy your company then.”

do you follow any of the roleplay accounts of the boys + thirteen on here?
I think the only one I follow is @/ask-barbatos because well… it’s Barbatos lol. Also I quite like their posts especially the ones about tea… what can I say I’m predictable.
I don’t follow any of the others, I’m afraid. Mostly because I know I wouldn’t be able to keep up with all of them. But I think it’s great that people are having fun with the rp blogs!
I sometimes hear about them from anons and I’m pretty sure some of the people who run them follow me. I’m always happy to hear about anything happening in the fandom!

Welcome to Obey Me: A New Beginning's Tumblr!
Heya everyone, welcome to this little corner of the internet my game calls home! I'm Saavan, the creator of what's more well-known as "the obey me rewrite", and I'm happy to bring it to Tumblr.
Obey Me: A New Beginning is an interactive fiction game, one that has my own spin on the characters and lore of the Obey Me universe. I found quite a lot of issues within the original game, so I took it upon myself to remake it with all my headcanons and expectations. Hope you enjoy!
You can visit the game HERE - click play to view all the features it currently has! There are many, I promise you, whether it's diverse character customization or fun Hellzfeed quizzes alongside the main story.
Here, I'll share game updates, sneak peeks, cute headcanons, and more! Feel free to hang around, say hi, and ask any lingering questions you may have in the ask box :) And if you'd like tutorials on how to accomplish certain things in the Twine engine (which is what I've used for this game), feel free to drop those in the ask box as well! I'll do my best to answer everything.
But anyway, that's all for now - see you in the Devildom, everyone!
