Before I finish writing this Discord reply, I do need to point out that for blog canon, Voidsent definitely aren’t mindless creatures or just aether eating machines. There is a society that still exists even if the shard they once lived in fell to a calamity. Voidlord like Diabolos with high ranks in the man-made tier list often have total loyalty from those that serve them, but also are loyal to their subjects in return. Though some are mindless monsters, it doesn’t make them any happier to see their kin dead and dying. The only good reference I have for this is the last episode in season one of Overlord, where the floor guardians prove they would give their all for their lord after he proved he’d rather keep them all alive and well.

Diabolos follows the same mindset and doesn’t take kindly to people eliminating those loyal to him, even if he lacks the loyalty to those above him. It is far better to call his name to summon him than it is to murder Voidsent to get his attention. He is exponentially more likely to fight you if you hurt his subjects first.

[diabclos]

For clarity’s sake, these are the brands that I have for Diablos already. This is not to say there are not more, because there are, just that I don’t know how they came about or why yet. I have sorted the images to appear in order of when he got the brands.

The first is on the right side of his neck, clearly visible unless he is wearing a high collared jacket or scarf. This one was received immediately when he came into existence, though it only appeared when he got his own body. This is the mark that all voidsent carry, and acts as a sort of tracker for them. Cloud of Darkness knows exactly where they are at any given time.

The second is the one that he got from a human Ramuh, before the man became a summon/primal/eidolon. After tormenting various denizens of the world, Ramuh challenged Diablos to stay in one body, instead of jumping between them as he had been. It is located low on his right hip, on the front side of him, and will never disappear.

Mark three is the one given to him by the gods, granting him power over time and space. In reality it means slave, not that Diablos would know that, and it is to mark his status not only as an immortal being, but as a summon. It lies on his right side, and when standing his arm would cover it.

The fourth was given to him recently. Where all the other ones are older, and have since become tattoos of sorts, this one is very much a brand, one that when touched causes searing pain. Historia’s brand prevents him from harming any human, regardless of whether or not they deserve it. For people like Thancred and Tallyn, it prevents Diablos from coming anywhere near them, their aversion to denizens of the void enough to cause harm from him being in close vicinity of them. This one is on the back of his left shoulder, and is incredibly sensitive, do not touch under any circumstance.

The fifth is the mark of Menphina the Lover. With his promise of marriage to her, her mark has appeared in a place of her choosing, over his heart. Though the reason for the mark is decidedly different than any others, it works in a similar way. Menphina can choose if he sees certain people, and if they are not those she approves of, it will burn until he stops attempts to court said person. Menphina herself has said on more than once occasion she will never use it in any way. Their relationship is one of mutual companionship, and one hardly needs to hold him to standards when they’ve both agreed they can seek other people if they wish.

theicebeastofthenorth -

Dia really doesn’t understand why Misaki goes out of his way to help animals. To him it is just the way of life. You get hurt and die, and the next creature gets to use your corpse for whatever the hell it wants. That said, he willingly goes along with his need to help any and all creatures that are hurt. Normally this is because Misaki can lose all sense of where he is, and in one such case he got to figure out just what happens when he doesn’t pay attention.

lighttheabyss - 

He really does find her snark amusing. She gives very few shits about who he is and what he’s done so long as he behaves. And when he doesn’t behave she is quick to give him a metaphorical swat on the nose and makes sure that he is put back in his place. That much he isn’t too fond of, but now that he’s managed to put his position for attacking her and her party when they entered Amdapor the first time, she seems to have relaxed a little.

spearofthemother -

Dia probably tries to get Azee out shopping for clothes every few weeks. She does need a bit of variety in her wardrobe, plus he enjoys seeing the rather flustered and slightly uncomfortable looks she gives him when she tries things on and isn’t entirely sure if they look good or not. At some point she will figure out that the shop keepers gasping isn’t a bad thing, that they are honestly surprised that such a renowned warrior would look so good in something that they can only sort of pull off.

eternxloptimism -

Dia firmly believes that Aly should be protected. Of all the people he’s really talked to about his urges and what he enjoys most, she is the only one to react with embarrassment right off the bat. Most others who deny him cite either their preference for women, marriage, or just that they wouldn’t sleep with a voidsent. Aly just sort of gets embarrassed and tries to change the subject.

shivaswarrior - 

Of any SeeD that will try to call Dia or command him to fight for them in battle, Squall is the only one that he will not fight on the subject. Dia likes Squall, more than Selfie or Quistis or Seifer. I really can’t manage to give a reason why, just he’s giving me the whole ‘nah, fuck you I’m gonna sleep’ when I push him towards other VIII muses. This includes Ulti too, while I’m thinking about it. He does enjoy fucking things up with her, but he is not hers to command.

cloakanddaggermage - 

1. Hist is one of a few people that can pretty much do or say what they want to Dia with near no consequences. I could spout reasons and make it sound like he’s easy (because he is), but the truth of it is that Hist is someone he has come to trust implicitly.

2. You hurt hist in any way that isn’t a paper cut or accidental and I can guarantee that he will be there to rip you new one. The two of them are linked to a point, so extreme physical pain and whatever out of control emotion she is having affects him. So if you make her upset enough to call him, or hurt her enough him to know before whatever voidsent he has watching her has time to tell him, you will be dead.

3. If Dia isn’t rooming with Phina or whomever else it is that he’s involved with, he’s helping hist sleep at her place. Usually on those nights, if he’s not passed out with her wrapped around his middle, he’s sending out minions to do things with Hist wrapped around his middle and complaining sleepily when he moves too much.

4. Dia is in her home near constantly. Being with other people is always nice, but its gotten to the point where he can literally navigate her home without his seeing-eye bat helping him. That is where the problem happens because he won’t know something has been moved until he runs face first into it.

bloodstainedbread -

Dia was wholly unaware that Lyth was almost entirely blind for a long time. It took until around the time where Lorelei had broken off the engagement for him to realize it. The reason why was because he’d had his ass handed to him (something that i can explain in private for those that weren’t following during that…) and had dark bruises on his neck that she didn’t see even though they were something no one could miss. It prompted an experiment, and he got the full force of her rage when she could actually see just how bad he looked.

impendeo - 

Feridad is honestly the one he goes to if he’s going to do something stupid. Whether its pissing off the automata in the Amdapori ruins that could quite easily kill him with their holy magic, or picking on mortals, he’s the one that Dia will grab before he goes. There is a reason that the two were summoned to wreak havoc on the ancient city. They are very good at sewing confusion and chaos, more so that Forgall.

Forgall is the one Dia goes to when stuff needs to get done. No nonsense, time to break some legs and get what information they need before throwing whomever it was they were torturing to some starving void denizens for them to dispose of.

Both of them though, are loyal. Forgall probably shows it more in subtle questions and watching those who he deems a threat. Feridad is more than likely to stab you with an arrow with a note that says to stay the fuck away, all with his name signed on it.

etosvitri -

1. Dia is 99.99% certain that if he gets within any distance of Demi or Tallyn, one of the two of them will cut him in half. Its amusing as hell to throw his voice using a gate and watch them get a little irritated, but for the most part if they are together, he stays the hell away from them.

2. He does like them. Unlike most people he immediately took a liking to Tallyn, and Demi grew on him. The fact that he can’t get near Tallyn without Hist’s brand scalding him within an inch of his life is the only problem he has. Tallyn’s discomfort is something he isn’t allowed to cause.

3. Demi is wildly entertaining to him. She doesn’t take his shit, and isn’t afraid to just let him have it. It’s why he pestered her to the extent that he did, going as far as using her as a shield because really, it would be too entertaining to see her just throw him to the ground in the middle of a large group of people.

4. He hasn’t wished them congratulations on finding Demi alive because he is sure that he’s the last person they want to see. Menphina sure. Hist, absolutely. But why the antagonistic voidsent who’s sole mission in life is to see how many people he can piss off or sleep with?

justanotherbrd - 

M’tsani is someone he’s sure doesn’t quite grasp everything around her. Not that it is at all a bad thing, he does enjoy seeing her reaction when he tells her something that she didn’t figure out. Case and point, telling her that he was a voidsent, almost immediately after telling her that his wife gave her blessings to Naon and Mimido despite being unable to make it to the wedding itself. Also thinks that her friend is intimidating, but that is neither here nor there.

shroudedscholar - 

1. Dia is seriously confused by Urianger, mostly because of the fact that he was siding with the Warriors of the Darkness, and seemed all too happy to be there at the time, though when he turns around to help the Warrior of Light is where his understanding dims a bit. Being someone who is solidly in the middle of everyone else when it comes to allegiances, seeing someone switch between sides is baffling.

2. Dia is secretly amused by his seeming inability to stay calm when he’s around. The little jumps and tension are not only amusing, but give just enough aether to sustain him for a period of time.

3. Dia probably ends up leaving little messages for the scholar with some lesser voidsent like a beady eye or a gaelicat. Whether it is because he’s lazy or something else, the world may never know.

giltedxpaladin - 

Sil is the one person Dia will go to when injured, before anyone else. He’s someone that Dia knows he can talk out of doing something, including going after whomever it was that had done the damage. If it keeps Sil from going on a rampage and coming into contact with the people that Dia tends to keep company with, he’ll do just about anything.

thanalansunglow - 

Dia really does intend on using Astharan to summon voidsent. He’ll give him what knowledge he wants so long as he assists Dia in getting more voidsent in the realm. Dastardly plans for the world that he will likely be pushed out of by no small number of people, but whatever.

circecastor -

1. Honestly, if he catches her or anyone else trying to go after Maahes, he will ensure that the massive panther has free reign to take out whomever he wants. He might call a stops before C’ersi dies, but if she’s really out for him, well sucks. Could always let her beg for life…

2. When he isn’t letting his pets kill her because she’s apparently decided that they aren’t allowed to continue, he will pester her within an inch of her life. Usually this means that he is acting as her chair and taking whatever books he feels like because it is all in the name of impeding progress.

3. Dia still calls her snowflake, even if she doesn’t want him to. That is her name now, and there is no way to change it. Someday he’s gonna say it to her face and something might snap, but he welcomes it, because she’s usually so collected.

heavenswardrealm - 

Dia really does not understand why he was at the spring when Phina was there, nor does he really care. He knows that she can defend himself, plus his retainers are protecting her now that he has Feridad and Forgall to make sure he doesn’t end up with holes in his hide. But given the fact that he seemed so worried about ‘smearing her honor’, Dia figured he’d play up the vengeful husband bit.

- Who’s the first to wake up in the morning: Lyth. Not only does she have her duties as a           huntress, but likely has many other things she needs to do. Now, if we are speaking           of first in the hours of the day, Dia is first. He stays up to spend the nights with her,           as that is when she actually goes out and works. - Who’s the one to make breakfast: Lyth. She’s seen some of Dia’s early attempts at           cooking things, and will not eat the things that he makes himself. Now, she has no           problem preparing what he manages to catch, so long as he didn’t choose something           that was on their no go list. - Who’s the one to serve the other breakfast in bed: Dia, if he happens to actually manage           to make something edible. He is careful to see how her coeurl reacts to the thing.           She’ll always let him know quickly whether or not he should even try to give it to her           master. - Who would suggest a quickie in the morning before work: Dia, though Lyth will do it           too. He’s usually still up, and if he’s been pent up all day he’ll definitely say something           about it. Other times she just decides she wants him and jumps at the chance to get           the upper hand (i.e. his ears). - Who suggests they both ditch work to lay around all day: Dia. Running around in the           dea of night when you are literally blind is frustrating. Throw in giant creatures that can           rip him limb from limb is another irritating part. Throw in the fact that wild animals tend           to attack out of fear, and you have a recipe for disaster. - Who chooses the movies: Lyth, though the second Dia hears something that sounds like           suspense or horror happening, he’s throwing her across the room and ordering           someone to rip the thing out of the player. - Who initiates kissing during the moving, thus distracting the other from the movie all   together: Lyth. Dia probably is sitting happily with her on his lap and trying to imagine the           movie, his tail wrapped around either an arm or her tail. One of her favorite things to do           is touch his ears, but he probably warned against her doing that out of nowhere. - Who orders lunch: Dia, probably telling Yanenowi to find them food in the middle of the           night. She has her methods, and he’s not about to leave his accident prone lover to           the wilds in the hope that she manages to keep herself from losing another limb. - Who steals food from the other’s plate without asking: Dia, especially if they were eating            something spicy. But for the most part he only steals food after she’s slowed down in            eating it. - Who curls up next to the other and falls asleep due to a full tummy: Lyth, probably right            as dawn is breaking and she’s going to sleep for the day. - Who distracts the other from trying to work at home: Lyth. All her work is done out in            the Forelands, Dia is the one who sits around and hands out instructions for other            voidsent to follow. Probably when he’s been at it a while she drags him out with her. - Who asks to go get ice cream like a five year old: Neither? Dia doesn’t eat sweets and            generally doesn’t go near things that are cold, and I can’t really see Lyth begging for            ice cream when she doesn’t even beg for anything. - Who takes pictures of their partner eating ice cream: Lyth. It’s rare for him to indulge            others with the treat, and moments have to be saved for blackmail later. - Who makes a sexual joke about the dripping ice cream on their partner’s face: Dia, as            he’s probably already finished the half a scoop he wanted and is watching Lyth            manage with this cone of frozen cream. - Who cooks dinner: Dia, because normally she’s wandering in with kills or wounded, so he            has to man the fort or carry her broken ass back home and make her food before            tucking her in. - Who cleans up the kitchen afterwards: Also Dia. See above reasons. - Who stays up until 2 reading: Lyth, probably whatever book she found somewhere, or            she’s taken some interest in something. Plus Dia has his admittedly large library in his            apartment, so he does what reading he wants there. - Who stares at their partner while their sleeping: Both, as they often can’t get their sleep            schedules to mesh well. Probably takes Dia a moment or two to actually wake up            when he’s supposed to. - Who kisses their partner while they sleep: Lyth. Gotta try to take advantage of him when           he’s not entirely capable of retaliating.

- Who’s the first to wake up in the morning: Squall. He always has duties to do, and unless            he actively has to go somewhere, Dia will not wake up in a timely manner. He            probably needs to be woken up. - Who’s the one to make breakfast: Actually both. If Dia knows that Squall was working            late, he will make something for him when he wakes up. Otherwise Squall makes it            and probably leaves some for Dia even though he really doesn’t need to eat anything. - Who’s the one to serve the other breakfast in bed: Dia. No better way to greet your            borderline workaholic boyfriend than breakfast in bed. And if anything else happens,            well then it happens. - Who would suggest a quickie in the morning before work: Dia, absolutely. It stems from            him needing physical affection, and honestly Squall probably gives it to him well            enough to satisfy and then some. - Who suggests they both ditch work to lay around all day: Dia, usually after he finds out            that Squall is working himself into exhaustion or something close to it, he will make            sure that they take time off. If it comes to it, he will drag squall through a gate and half            way across the planet to ensure he can’t work. - Who chooses the movies: Squall, probably because he wants to show Dia something he            liked, or introduce him to something that he can do with his abundant free time rather            than laying all over Squall’s desk and paperwork. - Who initiates kissing during the moving, thus distracting the other from the movie all  together: Dia. I mean, he landed the smoking hot SeeD commander, and they are just            sitting around and watching pictures on a screen? No, in the dark and on a couch is            the perfect time to start something, and he won’t let the moment pass him by. If            Squall gets frustrated with it, even better, Dia will push until he does something. - Who orders lunch: Dia, because he has to make sure that he eats at a relatively reasonable            time. And if he is swamped with work or in a meeting, who better to go get it? - Who steals food from the other’s plate without asking: Actually neither. Dia doesn’t            necessarily eat, he feeds off the feelings of others, usually those of passion and            negativity, and with no food of his own, Squall can’t steal from Dia. Problem solved. - Who curls up next to the other and falls asleep due to a full tummy: To strictly answer            the question, no one. But being satisfied from his ‘meal’, Dia would certainly try and            curl up on Squall’s lap while he’s working before he is probably thrown off for being in            the way. - Who distracts the other from trying to work at home: Dia. All work and no play makes            Squall a terrible boyfriend, especially when your lover is so damn needy all the            freaking time. - Who asks to go get ice cream like a five year old: Dia does, though it is mostly because            seeing one of the world’s most influetial people sitting there and licking an ice cream            cone is the funniest thing that he’s seen in a while. Dia doesn’t laugh, but he does get            a stupid fond smile on his face. - Who takes pictures of their partner eating ice cream: Both, because really its a GF and a            SeeD commander eating ice cream. No one would believe them when they told the            story later if they didn’t manage to get a picture. - Who makes a sexual joke about the dripping ice cream on their partner’s face:            Probably both, though Squall would likely only do it because Dia is taking too long to            eat his and it just is a giant mess. - Who cooks dinner: Squall, likely because Dia tried to make something extravagant for him            and started a fire. So while Dia is allowed to make breakfast, because it is relatively            easy to make, he is not allowed to make dinner. - Who cleans up the kitchen afterwards: Dia, he refuses to let Squall do any more work            than is strictly necessary. Sometimes there are ulterior motives, but most of the time            it’s because he is doing nearly everything and Dia does occasionally have a            conscience. - Who stays up until 2 reading: Squall. He probably just has a few more pages in some            report that he needs to go over. One report turns to two, and before long Dia has to            throw it across the room and lay on him so he’ll actually get some sleep. - Who stares at their partner while their sleeping: Dia. It likely stems from the fact that he            is a GF, and he is supposed to protect Squall in a worst case scenario. There is            something to be said about his lover leading a life of danger and harm, and he could            be hiding some wound that could kill him in his sleep. - Who kisses their partner while they sleep: Both, though it is a rare occurrence. Dia is            usually so full of energy, that actually seeing him asleep and not moving is not            something to disturb. And for Squall, Dia just wants to make sure he gets sleep.            There is time for fooling around later.

On Diabolos and the Light

While whomever Diabolos is following is in the First, he himself is not too far away. The only issue is that with the abundance of Light aspected aether, he can not wander around the world like he would normally. Should he be needed, even as a trump card, he will only make brief appearances to help before disappearing back into the void. The sin eaters may be rather effective against him, but likewise, he is rather deadly when it comes to them. 

This said, once the night has been returned to an area, he appears and will wander around and provide commentary on the world that they’ve found themselves in. Sometimes its actually decent commentary on what they should be doing next, other times it’s Dia being his annoying self because lets face it, he thrives on irritating people.

[diabclos]

On Voidsent and Tempering

Voidsent can not be tempered. As they are technically beings from a failed shard, one that has literally been corrupted into beings of dark aspected aether and little else, it would take extreme measures to be tempered by a primal of any kind of elemental aspect aether, even light aether. As such, those that are possessed of enough thought to do so can flit around battlefields where the tempered of Primals are swarming and steal what aether they can from them.

For those like Diabolos, who have rational thought on par with mortals in the source ( and the shards for that matter ), he is protected from Primals, not by any blessing from Hydaelyn but by the corruption that they caused themselves by weaponizing their own Primals and destroying the balance of their shard. To that end, Diabolos can go to just about any battle that the Warriors of Light can without worrying about being tempered.

That said, he isn’t nearly as durable or strong as Warriors of Light. He is not able to go round for round with the number of creatures they are, at least while he is in his mortal body. As a voidsent, his actual body, he’s a much bigger threat than when he is a cat with chakrams, a bow, or a sword.

Trust NPC; Diabolos S’kiazo

Selection: "Don’t you think this is a bit of overkill?” Job: Voidsent Elite; Bard ( DPS ) Weapons: Bow; Voidsent

AI Behavior: Diabolos isn’t always a choice for people to bring with them, though certain people can summon him regardless of whether he presents himself as an option. When chosen he tends to act as more of a tank than a DPS of any kind. Diabolos knows he can take hits and keep going, so he will take them until he goes down. When he is with someone he knows can take the hits better than he can, he will exhaust himself helping them. But because he is a voidsent, he is sure to warn any white mages to stay away from him. The pure magic doesn’t agree with him and he’d rather show someone how the Twelve won’t let him die.

Battle Lines:

•  “We have to do this the hard way?” - Starting Attack Line •  “What a waste of Aether...” - Using Specialty Skills, Variation 1 •  “Just die already.” - Using Specialty Skills, Variation 2 •   “Get behind us, you can cover when you aren’t about to pass out.” - Assisting an ally

Dia’s main method of earning money is dancing. But he tends not to wear the stuff that you can get in game for men, instead he wears things more like what women wear, something overall form fitting with flowing pieces for accent when he moves. Obviously he won’t have cups for breasts like women have in their gear, but it is something more like what is under the cut.

Because this has been made specifically for him, he tends not to wear it out of cities, as he does have light armor he dons for fighting. Always on his person when he dances are bangles around his feet and wrists. There are two reasons for this. One is because every movement he makes has them chiming, and it adds a sort of music to what he does. The other is entirely for himself. When he preforms, trying to ‘see’ all the people in the room for their aether exhausts him. He’s learned to listen to the sounds and tell if someone is near him based on how it sounds. It’s something equivalent to echolocation, but once he’s alone again ( or at least among less people ) he ‘sees’ using aether again.

[diabclos]

An Exclusive List

So as a few of you have hopefully noticed, Dia flirts with just about everything and everyone that has working organs. He thrives on pleasure that comes from intimacy and if it gets him laid, fantastic. But there are a few people that he doesn’t look to for the act. I’ll get to the reason the headcanon is named this in a moment, but one of the all inclusive groups that he has chosen as those he will not look to for sex is Roegaydn males. Now, this isn’t to say that if you play one and want to get with him, you can’t convince him. Things I’ve written into Dia’s background to make him decidedly more down to earth and relatable have left him with a generalized fear surrounding them. I can explain more in private, but yes it is very much stereotyping and generally inappropriate. Roegaydn women are totally fine, and those men that are of slimmer build will be alright, but if you are a hulking mass of muscle, he’s likely to either be skiddish or have another person with you when he talks to you.

That said, there are others that he will not immediately go to for sex, and it is for an entirely different reason. These are people that either have shown very little interest in it or do not want it ( @giltedxpaladin is a good example, Dia loves cuddles from Sil, but won’t push him into anything extremely physical; if Sil wants it he’ll gladly give it ), or that stand out in his mind as someone he’s drawn to for other reasons ( like Aymeric; he’s kind and so very helpful, but unlike most others, he is not immediately on the list of people he wants in the pants of ).

These people are those he is more likely to just sit next to, quiet and content with a touch or talking. A little bit of attention will go a long way to make him happy with these people. But they are few and far between.

[diabclos]

Not Entirely Defenseless

While Dia might not be able to see everything around him, there are things he can see that most others may not. Those who have played NIN know that you have ( had? ) an ability called hide. Such a thing won’t work on him, he doesn’t rely on his eyesight the same way as most do, and unless you are quite adept at hiding from all living things, he can still see the aether from the individual. He does still have problems when facing things like magitek engines and machines, as most do not function using visible aether. The armor is too thick and what he is able to see isn’t something he’d understand.

For those moments when he is either overwhelmed with bodies of those that would do him harm, or storming an imperial fortress, his retainers ensure he knows where everything and everyone is around him. If needed be they will join him on his missions to make sure he doesn’t end up dead ( not that it is really that much of a threat ).

[diabclos]

Dia, in XIV’s verse primarily, is blind. Absolutely, no glasses or anything can help him see. But XIV offers something that is a bit different, courtesy of story with Tola. Residents of Eorzea can see using aether, though for the races that have limited lifespans, it shortens them considerably. Dia doesn’t suffer those consequences because he is a voidsent and because he’s a servant of the Twelve. He uses it only to see outlines of living creatures, and when not around civilizations, he usually has either his bat Aurora or another voidsent helping him keep track of anything that would attack him.

Because he only sees outlines of bipedal intelligent creatures, he only knows people by race unless he’s given them something to stay with them. Most of those he considers close are given a little bat to keep with them. If he can see the bat, then he knows who it is. Otherwise, an Au Ra is an Au Ra until they introduce himself. Same goes with any other person unless they have a unique physical characteristic. So say an Au Ra is missing part of a horn, or all of a horn, he can see that. But if its a scar on their face or their body that doesn’t deform their appearance, he will not see.

Part of the solution to that is that he touches people a lot. He does it to find defining marks if he can’t see any, or tell by the shape of their face or body. If it’s new people he won’t do it immediately ( there has been at least one case where he grabbed at someone and paid dearly for it; granted he wasn’t supposed to touch there anyways… ) partially because hanging around people like Demistel and Historia has taught him some things about having a bit of humanity.

The reason for him being blind is that he made this body himself. It wasn’t well crafted at first, and as a result he made mistakes. Once he started going blind, he made an effort to fix whatever else he could manage to. There was no salvaging his sight, but he could at the very least make absolutely sure that he wouldn’t suffer any more ill affects from his haste.

I’ve debated adding it to other verses, but until I come up with good reason for him to be able to do something similar.

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING FOR YOUR MUSE SO PEOPLE KNOW HOW SHIPPING WORKS ON YOUR BLOG. REPOST. DON’T REBLOG.

TAGGED BY: a friend TAGGING: none

WHAT’S YOUR OTP FOR YOUR MUSE?

I don’t have an OTP. I love him being with those that will spoil him, but there is really no limits and no preference.

WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO RP WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPPING?

Anything. Dub-con doesn’t bother me, nor does actual non-con. There are some things I will be vague about ( sounding for instance ) but otherwise no.

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?

Other muses have to be of legal age. Diablos is ancient in some cases, and its not really a case of being uncomfortable, more that he considers anyone under legal age a child.

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?:

Not particularly? This muse is more open to all relationships, but most are considered short term things because most might not like the idea of being with someone they can’t stay with forever.

HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY’RE CONSIDERED NSFW?

I usually defer to my partner, but if I have to type the word groin or anything having to do with it, that paragraph and the one above it goes under a readmore. I like to be absolutely sure,

WHO ARE OTHER MUSES YOU SHIP YOUR MUSE WITH?

I currently ship with a goddess, a dragon, a fenrir creature, a WOL, multiple mortals, and plenty of those that can command him. There are very few instances where I ship him with someone I have not discussed it with yet.

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?

If you come and talk to me about how you had an idea about the two of our muses, 9 times out of 10 the conversation will turn shippy. Anyone I ship with, you can ask, normally the first or second convo talks about shipping. Takes like ten convos for anything to happen tho.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU LIKE TO SHIP?:

I love my ships, but if they are not balanced with normal relationships, it bores me.

ARE YOU MULTISHIP?:  

Yes, and Dia is a poly muse as well, or more that he can’t survive on the affection one person gives. He will love all he’s involved with, but he loves being pampered and will actively seek out attention on any level.

ARE YOU SHIP OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS?

More or less. If they get up to things, I will break your door down to talk about it, but I do get frustrated and sometimes will prefer to do something other than my abundance of fluff.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?:

Polybros and every ship that entails. I have a Noctis blog, and I love all who deal with my cranky prince.

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?:

Talk to me, and win over my muse. There are things that will turn him off. If you want to write drabbles before we’ve talked, that is more than fine.

So as far as Dia’s ships go, they tend to follow a pattern depending on the gender of the muse he’s with. For women he’s arrogant, tends to do what he wants and unless they expressly show that they are not happy with something he is doing, he will keep doing it. The only point in which that is not true is when it comes to Menphina, or when it comes to his ever present need to entertain men. His preference for men can be squashed if his mate does not want him sleeping around. He can survive without it, so it is really their choice.

Menphina falls on the other side along with male partners. They are almost always in charge, calling the shots and, as I’m sure I’ve made abundantly clear, tend to top when it comes to the do. Menphina is among this because of how their relationship formed, as well as the fact that she holds two brands over him, the one shared by the gods and the one he got when he accepted marriage vows. She is the end all be all in the relationship because he’s been trained not to cross the gods.

The point where this differs is with both of @cloakanddaggermage‘s muses, Hist and Matthew (Lahabrea’s host).

Dia is submissive to Hist when he has to be, so normal things like being in combat or if he ever ends up in some political situation with her. He listens to her because while she holds probably one of the single most irritating brands he has, she has given him a whole lot of freedom from it. She’s stated on more than one occasion that she doesn’t see him as a pet, that he’s an equal and she will treat him as such. That ship tends to be more balanced and definitely more normal (as normal as one can get I suppose).

Dia is wildly domestic around Hist, laying around her house and making food to make sure she doesn’t starve herself. He likely only follows her out when he knows she’s not doing well and is liable to get herself killed, so he keeps an eye on her.

Matthew has Dia literally all over the place. Because he’s Lahabrea’s host, there are definitely times where he acts like he would around the ascian, timid and trying not to piss him off for fear of retribution and punishment. Othertimes Dia is aggressive, because he is a mortal even if he is a male. Throw in the fact that this is one of the verses where Dia is primarily a DRK, and there is the very real potential for any and everything to go wrong. This said, the speed with which Dia took to Matthew was certainly impressive, despite the extenuating circumstances.

Dia is a guardian around Matthew, because as a conjurer he’s naturally a target any and everything. It’s a trait that likely started because he’s forced to keep his master safe, and it just spread to Matthew because he really really does worry about his safety, to the point of threatening Lahabrea to leave him out of any issues he has with Dia.

TL;;DR

Hist’s muses have very strange relationships with Dia and idk how this happened really because the ships are like less than a week old.
