2021/12/07 Tweet by KEIKO

Good evening. It’s past midnight so it’s the release day of my 2nd album “dew”. I started 2021 making music together with Tsunku, then I participated in Yuki Kajiura’s tour, the year became even more fun when I met eji and made music with her...With 「Lantana」 and now 「dew」 I am collecting more and more music that is precious to me. Thank you to everyone from the bottom of my heart. I am so happy, honestly, thank you ♡ KEIKO (Source)

• ————— ¤ ♫ ¤ ————— •

Review/Overall thoughts: Keiko has pulled it off, guys. She is now officially a living and breathing cello. Blown away by how she is using both her lower and higher register here. Her low notes are impeccable as always but her high notes are also so smooth, melodious and strong, not at all flat, screechy or breathy. She is creating beautiful contrasts that make her songs feel so much more vivid and vast. I think the more toned down nature of the album has given her the opportunity to polish her vocals and truly master the art of singing in a higher register in a way that’s actually flattering to her. I have never made it a secret that I prefer Keiko using her deeper voice but this album has made me truly appreciate all the things she can do with her voice. In her 1st album she had a lot of songs that made her sing in quite unflattering ranges, some of those tracks still give her trouble during live performances and more often than not I find her voice grating. But with her 2nd album that’s not really the case. Generally I would say that I am least impressed with the “old” tracks (i.e. “Sakura wo Goran”, “Michite wa Kakeru” and “Waratte Yaru”) since there is a lot of kinda unflattering high-pitched singing happening in those. None of these songs are bad per se, I don’t mind hearing them performed live but I wouldn’t go out of my way to listen to them. As for the new tracks, the only song I absolutely cannot get behind is “Revolution” and I have honestly no idea if I will ever be able to overcome my dislike.

1. Nobody Knows You: Written by Yosuke Saito Honestly perfection and such an epic introduction to this noticeably darker album. I am not sure why but I wasn’t 100% sold on it when we first got to hear the song during her fan club event this summer. I liked the verses and I loved the bridge but the chorus was only “meh” (and a tad obnoxious) in my opinion. By now she has performed it on multiple occasions so I have had some time to let everything sink in properly. I have officially reached a point where I can appreciate all parts (even the chorus XD). "Nobody Knows You” has already become a KEIKO staple for me and I can’t imagine a live where she doesn’t sing this. She absolutely SLAYS and provides the necessary gravitas with her striking vocals to complement the grim and fatalistic worldviews presented in the lyrics. Also glad they finally decided to incorporate some cello into her music. 2. 通り雨: Written by eji/KEIKO What can I say? Flawless. From the get-go I was in love with this. I am a ballad-girl and while I am not drawn to all types of ballads, this one certainly hits the right spot. The somber melody with its gorgeous strings/piano arrangement blends perfectly with Keiko’s tragic vocals. 3. 桜をごらん: Written by Tsunku Doesn’t do much for me. I don’t like it but I don’t hate it either. Pretty bland and her singing style isn’t my cup of tea. Still a bit bummed that an apparently prolific composer like Tsunku couldn’t come up with something a bit more outstanding for Keiko. Very reminiscent of her 1st album. It goes back to what I said earlier about her voice sometimes sounding a bit too grating. I will say though that looking at the album as a whole, it was a good idea to place the song in this spot since it is a nice reprieve after the first two tracks which are quite dramatic and dark. 4. ミチテハカケル: Written by RamSeeni/Shiki Tono As far as up-tempo, rock-ish songs go, this one is pretty solid, I enjoy listening to it. Not as good as “endroll” from her 1st album but better than “Waratte Yaru”. The song does a good job of adding a bit of oomph to the album - although I personally don’t think it was needed. Would have been happy with an album full of ballads and medium-tempo songs XD It almost feels a bit jarring but it goes well with the follow-up track “Latte”. 5. ラテ: Written by Haruo Yoda/KEIKO/Takuma Sato A ton of fun. Didn’t expect to like the “future-funk” elements so much. As the name would suggest, the song is super funky and playful. Also surprised by the rather long instrumental sections in between. There is really not much happening here vocal-wise. No wonder the genre is known as Japanese disco music. Perfect background music for your everyday activities to get motivated. 6. 八月の空: Written by eji/KEIKO I feel like “Sakura wo Goran” and “Hachigatsu no Sora” are quite similar, as in they are both a bit too basic and borderline bland, BUT the latter is Keiko’s very first composition so I am much more forgiving of it.XD The “haha” parts make the song downright addictive and Keiko’s vocals are so much better here than they are in “Sakura wo Goran”. 7. 現実のメタファー: Written by KEYTONE Solid but nothing to write home about. I am curious why they chose to release this in advance. Probably because it was the only remaining up-beat song in the tracklist. 8. キミガネムルカラ: Written by eji/KEIKO I am pleasantly surprised to see Keiko get so many composition credits or maybe this refers to her writing the lyrics (not sure how Spotify’s crediting system works). I love classical music so I am all over the extended instrumental part. For others this track might be too uneventful and short but I think it’s captivating in its simplicity. Just wish there would be even more emphasis on the cello in the studio version. I am spoiled by the live version which has such impressive cello parts throughout the entire song and not just during the interlude. 9. 笑ってやる: Written by Aoi Yamazaki/rui(fade)/Kōsuke Ōshima Another song I am pretty indifferent about. Nothing to say really... 10. Revolution: Written by XYZ The instrumental at the beginning actually sounds quite promising but then the song turns into what we have already heard in the teaser and it doesn’t really change or improve until the end. By far my least favourite track of all the new songs. I don’t see myself coming to like this as I did with “Inochi no Hana” (which was also composed by XYZ). XYZ seems to have a very specific style that might work for Korean drama background music but not really for Keiko...Meh, not happy. 11. Lost: Written by Haruka Kato/koshin *sobs* I am in awe. The teaser wasn’t able to prepare me for the full version. In my opinion this is pretty close to a masterpiece. Not because it is particularly unique or new, quite the contrary actually, I would say the song uses a lot of very old and familiar Kayōkyoku motifs that make it into an instant classic, a true gem. The melody line appeals to me on so many levels, I can barely contain my feelings. Now I also know what they meant by Celtic elements, the intro in particular is super lovely (wish we would have gotten even more of that sprinkled throughout the song). 12. Burn In The Wind: Written by koshin/YHANAEL No complaints from me whatsoever. A nice feel-good ballad with some country vibes that work surprisingly well for Keiko. In my head this is Keiko paying tribute to Taylor Swift XD The soft-rock elements make this even better and remind me of some old-school power ballads.

In total, there are five standout tracks which I would give a solid 10/10 rating (”Nobody Knows You”, “Toori Ame”, “Kimi Ga Nemuru Kara”, “Lost” and “Burn In The Wind”). All of them just SCREAM “Keiko” to me. Not sure if Keiko put together the album with a concept in mind but I definitely feel like as a whole it represents her much better than the first one did and thus I automatically appreciate it more. And even though Keiko claims that she sang all these songs in a reserved manner and “without emotion”, I cannot help but feel like her singing is much more expressive than it used to be, it has a very raw and rich quality to it.

What are your top 5 comfort characters and why??

I must know!! 😗 XD

Interesting ask! Well if I had to pick them in order...

5. Giroro from Sgt. Frog

I'll be honest, when it comes to Giroro, I think the main reason I like him so much is because he's from one of the first animes I ever watched when I first started getting into anime. So, he's more of a nostalgic character than anything.

4. Rose quartz/pink diamond from Steven universe

She an interesting character over all, but her moral ambiguity is what I love most about her. I've always loved stories that are about morality and how the lines can be blurred or even cris cross. How sometimes doing what's best isn't always what's right. Rose quartz/pink, to me, is a perfect example of this. Yes, she 100% made mistakes, and definitely some bad choices, but over all what she did was for the greater good of what she believed in. I love how steven goes from loving his mom, to seeing her flaws and more or less hating her, to finally having all the pieces of his mother's story and understanding who she was. (Which is why I hated how future made him hate her all over again, but I digress)

3. Ariel from the little mermaid

Ariel has always been my favorite Disney princess, and to me her story of wanting to explore the world beyond what she has below the waves has always been inspiring. It's pushed me to look beyond what I know to see what else this big beautiful world has to offer.

2. Emily from Corpse bride

When I was younger, I had an obsession with death and the afterlife (my dad listened to rob zombie and always wore skulls and grim reaper imagery, so I think I know where it comes from). I was also obsessed with romance stories and the like, so this movie was a perfect mix of everything I was at the time. This movie has and will always be my favorite movie, to the point i can quote it almost word for word lol

1. Bing bongo from inside out

Out of every character on the list, I think bing bong is the one I can relate to the most. Growing up, I always felt like I lacked behind my peers in terms of maturity. While they were getting into make up and boys, I was still playing pretend and collecting stuffed animals. I never really caught up with them, and more often than not they'd move on and leave me before I'd even realize they were gone. It didn't help that I have abandonment issues and the fear of being forgotten.

I remember when I was in the theater watching this movie, it was hard to hold back my tears because I saw so much of myself IN bing bong. (I swear, when he said riley can't be done with me, I just broke)

But despite all this, despite how this character made me feel, I have to thank him. Because of him I faced feelings I never had the guts to face, and even though I still struggle with them sometimes I've made peace both with those feelings and with who I am today as a result. Sometimes comfort characters aren't just the ones who make you happy, sometimes they're the ones who teach you to make peace within yourself.

Sorry this last entry is long and kinda sad, I just have a lot to thank this character in particular for.

Master list - Supernatural

Here we go! These were written so long ago and I am so sad this amazing series is ending!

Claiming Rights - From this ask Can you do a tfw plus crowley fighting over you while your in heat? Different endings added in.

Life Choice - So this is an ask I got. Reader is asexual and has to deal with the boys wanting to court her. Didn't know which version of an asexual relationship you wanted so I hope this works and you like it. As always thank you for the ask.

Did it Hurt - Set during first apocalypse.

Dean

Claiming Rights Dean ending

The Mark - From the ask Could you do a alpha!demon!dean× omega!reader. Where with the mark of Kane he's really mean so he break up with her, but he's marked her so like it's a mess. (Kinda got this idea off the song demons by Imagine Dragons ) I loved it thanks for the ask.

Unwanted Attraction - Ok! Can I request a non-con CastielxdemonReader and DeanxdemonReader where the Reader is working with the Winchesters to help take down a common foe, she and Dean have feelings for each other but they pretend to hate each other but reveal their feelings for each other when Reader almost dies on a hunt? And maybe unrequited CastielxReader where he also has feelings for the Reader and gets jealous when Dean and reader get together so he forces himself on her? Also, can I add one more thing? Like Castiel forces the Reader to like it, even if she's trying so hard not to.

Sam

Claiming Rights Sam ending

Castiel

Claiming Rights Cas ending

Only His - Hi! If you're taking requests, can I have a CastielxReader where the Reader is hunting with the Winchesters. She thinks Castiel doesn’t like her when it’s in fact the complete opposite. The Reader has a one night stand and this completely breaks Castiel’s self control. He takes her and the Reader wakes up tied to a chair in the bunker dungeon with Castiel over her. The Reader is desperately trying to close her legs while Castiel eats her out until she’s chafed and sore. Castiel’s extremely possessive and jealous and makes his mark all over her. Then he forces her to ride him until they both come. Castiel refuses to pull out and he comes inside the Reader.

Crowley

When is forever too long - My first fan fic. Starts off in the past with Fergus Macleod, he is an alpha and this is his story. Will progress into Crowley time period. I suck at summaries please read. I own nothing including Crowley...unfortunately. Only some characters are mine and story plot. Hope you enjoy. Alternate Meeting

Another Try - Okay so this is an ask I got. Reader is Crowley's daughter from when he was a human. She tries to kill him for leaving her. Let me know what ya'll think.

Nothing wrong with a tomboy - Hi, I love how you write, really. :) I wanted to ask you if you could do a Crowley x Reader where the reader is a tomboy (basically a female Dean but with Sam' sensibility XD) and Crowley is half human? He fall for her and shows it with witty comments and sarcasm. Sorry for eventual english mistakes, I'm italian. Have a nice day! :)

Claiming Rights Crowley ending

Mate or Die - Just a short drabble from a fact I learned... If a female ferret doesn't mate when they are in heat they will die.

Two is better than one - from this ask So I had this idea a while ago and tried to write it but I failed. So the reader is an alpha female And Crowley is alpha as well. Crowley wants to claim the reader but she won't obey cause she's alpha so it's like a fight for power and dominance. Thank you I loved it.

When I’m Gone - Okay so I wanted to try my hand at a song fic. Sorry if it sucks I tried. Anyway the Song is When I'm gone by Three doors down.

Needs - From the ask for a omega crowley and alpha Reader. Thanks for the ask.

Unwanted - Just a quick drabble I thought of. Sorry for any mistakes still on mobile. So basically the reader is crowley wife from when he was human. But he is not the same as she remembers...

Broken - Reader has really bad anxiety and can't take it anymore.

Something There - From this ask Hey can you do a one shot (imagine idc) where Crowley stops an alpha from claiming an omega (the reader) that didn't want to be claimed and he comforts her and idk fluff. Thank you and let me know if you want a part two.

No Choice - Reader had to do the unthinkable when they get some bad news.

Alone - Reader is pregnant with Crowley's child and goes to tell him only to feel m ore alone than ever...

No worries - So I don't know if you are still talking requests but if you are could you do one where the reader had a Stutter/speech problem and Crowley finds out about this and fluff cause their shy about it.

Silent Fear - Could you do one where the reader and Crowley are a couple and the reader is deaf. Deal and Sam kidnap her and start asking her questions and then crowley confess and saves her and held at Sam and Dean. Then a fluffy ending,please and thank you.

De- Demonized Rescue - I was wondering if you could write something where the reader saves crowley from the brothers from being De-demonized, totally a real word lol, when Sammy is doing the trails and showing him some love? Fluffy if you can and I'll love you forevers! Aww thanks for the ask!

Surprise - Hi, I love your works and everything. Could you please do a crowley and reader, where the reader it's Crowley's wife and she's pregnant. She goes into labor and they find out she's having twins instead of one baby. Okay so I did this how I thought me and my husband would have reacted to having twins. Hope you like it. Thanks for the ask.

Total Dominance - Can you do a one shot where tfw is arguing with Crowley(they are all alphas) and then Crowley fucking you on the table while biting the back of your neck in front of them to have dominance over the others. I loved it thanks for the ask!

Big Bad Wolf - Spnhalloweenwritingchallenge #35 "I could eat you up little girl"

Little Hints

Whiskey Lullaby - Was listening to whiskey lullaby by Brad Paisley and got wanted to do a small drabble with crowley.

Colder Weather - Probably going to suck. Song fic.... "Colder Weather" By Zac Brown Band

Understanding - Hello darling I love your works. Could you do Crowley x reader, where reader is Winchesters' little sister (reader is in late teens/early twenties) and she can change into a big wolf, but boys don't know about it? Plot: When Winchesters found about reader's secret on hunt (hunt went bad or something and reader saved her brothers) Winchesters are angry at her, but Crowley understand reader, he is in love with reader and he comforts reader. Angst with FLUFF. Pretty please xoxo ~ TheThirdHolmes

Can you Hear me? - Could you do a Crowley/ reader where the reader is deaf, and she staying with the winchesters in the bunker and has a major crush on crowley. While crowley feels the same but doesn't knows the reader is deaf and thinks she is ignoring him, but the boys point out that she is deaf and he learns sign language to ask her out and she says yes.

Mine Now - 1.Hello Honey it's me again. I have one idea for ff and I wonder if you could write it. So alpha!Crowleyxomega!reader, plot: reader's father made deal with Crowley, but instead of his soul, he sold his sixteen/seventeen years old daughter. He takes her to Hell, she becomes his maid. Smut and fluff follow. What do you think about it? ;) 2. Hey do you think you could write one where Crowley makes a deal with the reader for something sad.. sorry I'm on my period...thanks.

Chained Alpha - Alpha crowley is locked up in the winchesters dudgeon and he goes into a rut, and the reader is the only omega that can help him out. He chained up so he cant touch himself so the reader has complete control over him.

Breath - Fosse grim According to Scandinavian mythology, Fosse grim was a water spirit that played enchanted songs on the violin, luring women and children to drown in lakes and streams.

Soulmate - Could you do a story where the reader is the reincarnation of Crowley's soul mate and she died not too long after Crowley has dragged too hell. Now the reader is working with the boy's and Crowley is some what shocked and tries too win her over well dealing with the boy's being over protective of her and at the end they end up together. Super fluffy ending, please and thank you.

sorry for the other question but now I'm curious, what are your interpretations of frisk and asriel? and 2, do you headcanon asriel as the older bro or chara as the older one, I've always seen Chara as being older than Azzy by 6 days (sept 9 2000 and sept 15 2000 xD), sorry for all of these questions

oh that’s not a problem! i also meant to reply back to you on the last post! been busy lately.

I felt I should probably elaborate a little more on my chara first omg. (also this mainly refers to AFR because I don’t really draw these characters much else where. I mean, there’s my fanfic thorns, but aside from that, eh, rare.

long post cause of pictures, discussion of canon serious topics/events

they are SUCH a brat as well as being a very sweet kid. in AFR, as a kiddo Chara lied that Christmas lasted all of winter to get more presents.

Here they are insulting poor Frisk.

they’re a very stabby child. again, heart of gold kid who has been misguided into believing violence is the answer for a long time, but still. very stabby.

frisk, however, is very Chill. -_-

they’ve been thru a lot of true resets. for a while it was hard for them to adjust to not being underground anymore. because chara/the player wanted frisk to come back, they were unable to live their life on the surface. so they were trapped in an unending loop that’s made frisk very bitter about being a “hero.”

I look to both neutral and pacifist to define frisk. both good and jerk runs as well. frisk can be a jerk-wad. (poor ice-cap’s hat...) they’re very similar to Chara, both having trouble with their anger and doing the right thing. but at the end of the day, Frisk is mainly patient and determined to see thru the journey to it’s end.

Asriel is a total crybaby. I kinda exaggerate it a little for comedic effect/ make it more realistic with like, gross snot and puffy eyes and very Not-Hollywood like crying.

i’m sorry. it’s just so funny to me. i’ll never pass an opportunity from posting these panels.

asriel isn’t just a crybaby though. he still participated with the buttercup plan until he backed out at the end. i doubt he really knew what dying truly meant until chara did die. he saw helping chara to die and murder as a vague concept that was of course wrong but he knew the prophecy, raised in it even, and believed in chara’s promise that this was the only way to free everyone. It’s only when he did lose them, and then seeing the kindness and fear the humans had, that he realized these were real people and chara was dead. and it was bad to kill.

of course becoming a flower and exhausting everything to the point he was purposefully traumatizing himself to feel something again put him in a weird place. chara’s death greatly impacted him. they were the one person he couldn’t see and know every intimate detail about. he still doesn’t understand them. he still loves them greatly, and couldn’t figure out why he had to die and be hurt and suffer as a flower, that they had to suffer and die. in the end, with no options or real support systems, Asriel idolized the message Chara sent with their shared being-murdered. Kill or be Killed.

It’s only in pacifist that he’s able to accept that no, there was more to chara than that grim fate and ideology. they were his sibling. they dreamed together that they’d be able to save everyone, together. And that’s what get’s him to become who he really is, a scared child who just misses his friend with his whole heart.

but there’s also another thing I want to stress about him.

(for context: that's a montage of Asriel through the years chara spent with him) I think regardless of being a flower, Asriel has always Been A Brat. i don’t think dying somehow made him a brat, it’s always been there. kids aren’t angels, they’re not perfect. Asriel totally was yelling “YOU IDIOT” at chara over a game of candyland.

as for who is the older sibling, i think it’s like this: frisk (youngest) chara (middlest) asriel (oldest)

though i think chara and frisk are probably closer to being the same age as each other, with asriel having a couple more years ahead

Made a tier list of FNaF media!!! Not counting the activity book or the security survival log because those don’t really add anything, they’re just neat activities or summaries of game info

I explained the choices under the cut, equal parts personal bias and objective opinion, so if you think differently then hey, good on ya!

Going down to up XD

The Silver Eyes Graphic Novel: Do I even need to explain this one? Rushed art with countless mistakes, horrid coloring, samey designs, the important scenes come off as bland and even goofy instead of impactful. It’s clear Pinky wasn’t used to drawing humans, the colorist had no idea what they were doing, and no one on the team made a graphic novel before. It’s laughable how bad this was XD

The Fourth Closet: Does anyone really know what happened at the end? I... really don’t like what they did with Charlie in this one. I don’t like how William was able to get out of his Springtrap- it was SUPPOSED to trap him, and yet he just... is out of it... I think the whole thing with Baby being like this hot clown girl instead of what she is in Sister Location is very... ... it exists... Tbh I respect the bold direction it took, but I honestly felt it was too much of a stretch and just didn’t work.

FNaF AR, Special Delivery: Not bad! The character models and voice acting is where the game shines most. Other than that, there isn’t really much substantial to the game other than some lore with Vanny/Ness and Luis. The gameplay can get frustrating sometimes(I cant collect remnant, read my mail, or even work on my own animatronics without DING DONG SOMEONES HERE every 5 seconds), and all you do is spin in a circle until you get glitchy, look away if they get glitchy, or zap them when they run at you. Some people probably love this game and good on them for that, but I find myself not touching it for weeks at a time.

Freddy In Space 2: GREAT game for charity, great art, great music! ... That’s all it has going for it, though. It was clear that this was a quickly made game designed to be beaten in one sitting, and it did exactly what it needed to do! Other than being amazing how it was for charity, the game doesn’t have that much going for it(except introducing Lolzhax aka BEST ROBO), so overall not bad but also did almost nothing outside of being for the Charity Livestream XD

Fazbear Frights, Into The Pit: Again, not bad! A nice collection of short stories, almost like goofy campfire horror you’d tell to kids... like goosebumps! I felt each story was REALLY lacking in some areas, but I liked the general idea they were going for. That being said, they’re moreso neat scary stories with the name FNaF attached than anything else(except maybe the first of the three). It hints that they have an overarching plot that will be covered in future books, but as of right now, I feel no one’s missing out by not reading them.

FNaF 3: A satisfying end to the original trilogy story! Purple Guy gets justice, everything gets tied together with a neat bow, and the first arc in the series comes to an end. Also Springtrap, aka my favorite. This game is riddled with neat 8-bit minigames and bits of lore, but the gameplay itself is where I find it not as good as the S A and B tiers. The new setup with the system reboots are def really interesting, but other than that, each night is just... the same thing but harder. Most other games introduce different characters on different difficulties per night, but since Springtrap is the only deadly one, it’s just... him more aggressive each night and systems failing more often. Makes the gameplay pretty repetitive and frustrating after Night 3 or so.

FNaF 4: The beginning of what I like to call the Afton saga(4, SL, FFPS, UCN)! This is when the lore began to get REALLY good... and also really confusing. Props for it taking such a bold direction by taking place in a child’s bedroom instead of in an office with cameras, its a neat change of pace! That being said, the gameplay can get frustrating and there’s a high learning curve for needing to listen to each sound the anmatronics make. Also lore wise... there really isn’t much! Just mainly focuses on what happened to this poor kid. Also the box still being a loose end... yeah.

The Twisted Ones: I enjoyed this one! It had a very interesting direction that kinda kept me guessing on what was going on, and this is when Scott really started nailing in the foreshadowing for the reveal in TFC. The Twisted animatronics are SO cool, and the introduction of those little alteration chips provided new context to games like 4 and SL! That being said, I don’t remember it being... that memorable? I also didn’t like how Charlie’s and John’s relationship was... so awkward... It was neat, but honestly nothing to really go crazy over, in my opinion.

The Silver Eyes: Honestly, I adored this book when I read it back in 2016, before Sister Location happened. At the time I wasn’t trying to connect it to any lore, so it was really great just to see a sort of retelling of the FNaF story. A lot of people complained about how long it was... I might agree if I reread it but tbh it never bothered me before. It was delightfully creepy, yet had a simple plot and wasn’t NEARLY as out there as TTO and TFC. Especially TFC. I felt this book didnt need 2 sequels and would’ve been just fine on its own, but whatcha gonna do. Carlton is forever my fav, and it’s the first time we really learn about Henry AND it was the first time we got a name for our Purple Guy: William Afton!

Sister Location: I like this one for just how bold of a game it was. I’m also including SL’s Custom Night wrapped into this package. Jam packed with lore, our first (main) game with VOICE ACTING, and honestly the humor has no right being as good as it is. I love how this not only expanded on the crying child from 4′s story, but also gives us so much Elizabeth and Michael content. The gameplay has a lot of unbalanced features and feels a little too over the place at times, but I appreciate where it was going with it!

FNaF World: ... This one is pure personal bias. A lot of people don’t like it. I adore it. Honestly I love the cute overworld, I love beating up enemies as my favorite animatronics, I love the horror, nihilism, and lore shoved into this game alongside SO MUCH humor. Update 2 was nothing short of an absolute delight and... wait, no!!! FNaF World had our first voice acting!!! So many endings and nods to other games Scott’s made, a cool scene with Desk Man/Henry and Baby, just... muah. Good content. Also Scott 57 <3

Ultimate Custom Night: Name a better way to end the Afton Saga, I’ll wait. It’s so obvious how much time, thought, and care went into this one. I love how the game rewards you with funny cutscenes the higher scores you get, and I just! So much voice acting! I love how each preset- no, each character has their own moves so every time you do a certain mode, you need to learn to manage them all and get a good strategy. I like how it’s way more strategy and skill than the RNG that many previous games had. Also, Scott!!! You managed to put this into the LORE by making it William’s hell, MUAH, couldnt have done it better!!!

FNaF 2: This one might have bias for being the peak of the fandom, but it was one of the greatest times to be in that fandom. Freaking out over the trailers, theories galore, prequel vs sequel, and just... so good. 1 didn’t have much plot, 2 DID. 2 had more mechanics and strategy to it than 1, and gave us over twice as many characters! We finally got a “face” to our killer, Mr. Purple Man, and how could I ever complain about more Phone Guy~? This one also introduced the 8-bit minigames, which became a HUGE staple for the series! Perfect expansion of the first!

Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator: The PERFECT blend of old and new gameplay. The salvage scenes are intense, the nights had a great balancing mechanic of juggling doing tasks while also avoiding animatronics, multiple endings, and a neat tycoon segment to give the player a breather... but with LORE!!! Midnight Motorist is easily one of the best tracks in the series. Also has a GREAT canonical ending, when(with paired with UCN), ties the plots of 1-6 SO nicely with a neat bow.

FNaF 1: Okay. From a personal and gameplay standpoint, I was going to put this much lower. Like B or C. That being said... this has to go in S. Yes, it has the least lore and arguably the worst gameplay(too much RNG for 4/20 mode), but this was the game. I can’t even exaggerate when I say just how much FNaF changed not only the gaming community, but especially the horror and indie communities. So many names got big from this: Markiplier, Dawko, Game Theory, The Living Tombstone, DA Games, SCOTT HIMSELF, just to name a few!!! And to think, this was originally going to be Scott’s last game! FNaF changed gaming HISTORY, and I think that alone makes this title deserving of S.

FNaF VR, Help Wanted: Okay, personal bias time, but I truly think VR deserves this S. Seeing Glitchtrap for the first time incited a panic in me that I hadn’t felt since FNaF 1 and 2. You get FNaF 1-4 in one, all in VR, WONDERFUL character models that you can WATCH MOVE!!! SO many minigames and fun challenges to play, so many neat knickknacks to collect, the Halloween update is FANTASTIC. The introduction of some great characters, such as: Glitchtrap, Vanny, Tape Girl, Dreadbear, Grim Foxy, etc!!! There’s also just- something so nice about being able to see every office and the pizzeria in 3D spaces where you can look around! Just from a gameplay and environment standpoint, this was an AMAZING addition and deserves the S.

... Thanks for listening to me ramble XD If you disagree... then good for you! I won’t fight anyone on this, I’m aware that this is a lot of personal bias. But if you made it this far... thanks for hearing me ramble!!!!

4, 11, 22, 23, 35, and 36 for the OC asks for Simon and Oliver. Please and thank you 😘

Holy hell how am I just now seeing this in my inbox lmao I’m so sorry Grim XD

4: Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?

For Oliver, it was the time in the facility where he saw a handler kill a trainee. A handler got super angry at one of the trainees for stealing food and made everyone else watch while he beat them, not stopping even after they went still. Oliver watched them drag the trainee out of the room, and he didn’t see that handler again. He never, ever stole food, and that was one of the breaking points of complete terror and obedience to the handlers

(See last bit of question 11 for Simon ;)

11: In what situation was your character the most afraid they’ve ever been?

For Oliver, it was when Cedric took him outside after breaking a rule and drowned him in the pond behind the house. He tied weights to Oliver’s ankles and made Simon throw him in at like..forehead level water so he could just barely tilt his head up to breathe and left him there. For an entire night. Simon had to sit on the back porch and listen to him cry and beg and scream until he eventually stopped, and only when it stopped did Cedric let him pull Oliver out, make sure he was ok, and then throw him back in. They did this repeatedly until morning, and Cedric gave Simon until the evening to get Oliver well enough to be brought to his study for the night

For Simon it was a part of his guard training where he was set loose in the woods with a group of other guard dog box boys set to track him down. If he made it until morning, he would continue with his training. If not..well..he’d make good kill training for the other trainees. That night spent running and hiding from a group of well trained killers was the most terrifying experience of his life. What was even more terrifying, though, was when he was on the other side of that training. The trainee they were assigned to didn't make it until morning.

22: What does your character like in other people?

Oliver likes kind, talkative people, he’s a good listener and enjoys listening to people ramble to him about stories or what they like. He’s a sucker for anyone that's generally friendly and charming,

Simon loves people with quiet, good humor. He wants the kind of friend who’ll sit with him in the evening with coffee and just quietly chat, and when he opens up he gets really in depth, which if payed attention to can tell you a lot about his feelings, which he usually refuses to directly acknowledge.

23: What does your character dislike in other people?

Oliver gets very bad vibes from people who openly dislike animals, he gets skittish around very loud and energized people, or people who like casual rough touch (like slaps to the shoulder/back, shaking, playful pushing, etc). He hates people who get super condescending and trying to be ‘helpful’ when he doesn’t know them, it makes him hella uncomfortable and it reminds him of when Cedric would be super degrading

Simon hates super arrogant or ‘posh’ kinda people. He gets super annoyed at people with dark and offensive humor, too much of it hits too close for him. Super charismatic people tend to make him feel uncomfortable, theres always just something off about them to him

35: How does your character behave around people they like?

Oliver gets very relaxed and comfortable, and sometimes even willing to do a good bit of talking himself. He’s more likely to stray from Simon a bit when he’s comfortable with everyone in a room, and he’ll take well to friendly touch when offered

Simon will smile and laugh more often, that's usually his tell for if he’s feeling comfortable. He’ll lean back in his chair and cross his arms, a soft, relaxed look in his eyes. He’ll speak a lot more, willing to participate in small talk and joke around. He gets playfully physical, ruffling people hair and poking shoulders with a smile

36: How does your character behave around people they dislike?

Oliver gets very wary and shy, avoids eye contact. He’ll shy away from any touch, shrinking back against whoever or whatever feels safest. He’ll stutter a lot more and get defensive, viewing the interaction as a dangerous situation even if its not

Simon gets very cold and bristly, passive aggressive, and has a ‘standing his ground’ kind of attitude. He’s very sensitive to triggering confrontation if someone makes a bad move on him, a trained wariness and willingness to take out a threat always present in his personality

Poppy’s extraordinary list

I dunno how to write the intro... I'm a kinda person who doesn't read it at all. I can only say that I make up the plot during the writing what's (I'm sure) really visible XD but Hey, it's only English homework and I love trolls, I love Zoey, I let this fanfic be cringing so let's go

_________________________________________________

Chapter 2

- DJ! DJ! Wake up!

- Huh?

Poppy trembled her so hard without any results. Suki was known as really hard to wake up and it was not without the reason: she couldn't come back to reality by calling or shaking. She couldn't even open her eyes. She was just snoring as she was snoring before Poppy went into her pod.

- Suki! I need your help! - Poppy didn't give up. - You know trolls better than me, cause of these parties you did every day! I need information! WAKE UP!

- Poppy... - Suki snored unawares. - Gimme a sec... I... Got... A nap...

- You're napping for hours! - Poppy said. - Please, I need your help now!

- Why is that so urgent? - Suki opened her eyes trying to sit on her own.

Poppy stopped. Why was it so urgent? She didn't know. She knew there were lots of Trolls needing her help. And she knew she really needed to do something, anything! Anything but thinking or feeling...

- Please... - Poppy put her hands together as if she was praying.

Suki finally sat straight on the couch and looked at Poppy clicking her tongue twice.

- What do you need? - She asked with a more strong voice.

- Do you know something about the gray troll in our Village? - Poppy asked.

DJ was thinking for a while, frowning and clicking her tongue.

- You mean Branch?

- Yes, this one's sitting on the branch above the Village - Poppy nodded excitedly.

- No no no, Poppy, his name is literally Branch - She said, stressing the last word.

- Oh... - Poppy was surprised.

- Is it that weird? Your name is literally Poppy!

- No, I mean... Did Trolls name him Branch because of his sitting on the branch the whole day and watching the Village? - Poppy asked.

- What? No... No one saw him on the branch above the Village. You did?

- Yes, and...

- And you think what? Why did your parents name you ‘Poppy’? Because your hair is poppy or you're the princess of pop trolls and they thought "Oh, Let's name her Poppy! She will be Poppy Queen of Pop! Poppy the Pop troll! It's really funny!" or maybe because you popped out your Mother 's hair and they were like "Oh, she just popped out from the hair, let's name her...

- Okay, okay, I understand, please stop - Poppy was laughing so much. - So his name is Branch. Just Branch. Only Branch. Without any reason.

- Yea, you Sherlock - Suki yawned, rubbing her eyes.

- So... Do you know anything else about him? - Poppy asked.

- Let me see - Suki looked, still quite sleepy, on the floor. - He's really mean, always angry, hates parties, hates everything, talks with no one, lives alone in the Forest, why are you asking? - She said it really fast, all in one breath.

- Well, he's gray and I'm the Queen so...

- But you have a boyfriend, girl! - Suki interrupted her.

- What? What?? Suki! You're really still sleeping right now!

- And what are we talking about? - DJ said pretending to be much more asleep than she actually was. Poppy laughed.

- Branch. How could I help him?

- With what? - Suki said confusedly.

- Returning his happiness of course! - Poppy smiled widely.

Suki smiled widely too but for other reasons.

- You're kidding me...

- No, I’m not! - Poppy said enthusiastically. - If I want to be a good Queen I must be able to make every single troll happy! And also everyone deserves to be happy, am I right?

- I dunno - Suki said without any enthusiasm, looking mindlessly at the floor. - You didn't even know about Branch existing, did you?

- But I changed it! And now I want to change everything! There are many more trolls needing help than I thought - Poppy said, walking to the window and looking through it. - I want to help them all. I want to make them feel happy.

She heard that Suki groaned out and fell on the couch. Poppy still looked through the window at the walking trolls. There were many of them! Maybe Suki was right, Branch would be too much at the beginning. There were so many others who needed her help, that she couldn't decide where she needed to start.

And then she heard the music. She turned around, but the only thing she could see was DJ's feet sticking out from the couch.

And then DJ sang:

Yo listen up here's a story About a little girl that lives in a blue world

Poppy came back to the couch to see DJ 's face. It was still weird for her but now she knew that only she could see and hear what was just happening. She sat in front of the couch and listened up.

And all day and all night and everything she sees is just blue Like her inside and outside Blue her house with a blue little window And a blue corvette And everything is blue for her And herself and everybody around 'Cause she ain't got nobody to listen

It was really surprising for Poppy. She always thought of her best friend as a chill person without any problems. She thought Suki could have her small problems and there was nothing more than that. Only happy, chilling Suki enjoying every single party that she hosted.

But Poppy was wrong. Suki wasn't that happy.

I'm blue da ba dee da ba daa...

Suki took a pillow and put it into her face, not stopping singing. This muffled "da ba dee da ba daa" sounded really pathetic. When she finished, she put the pillow back to its place and came back to her previous position, like she didn't move even a bit. Then she saw Poppy in front of her staring at her narrowly.

- What? - Suki asked, a bit confused.

- Is everything ok with you? - Poppy asked, pointing at her.

- Yea, I'm fine - Suki said with a blank face.

Poppy sighed, feeling really bad. Of course, there was something not ok with Suki, but if she hid it, Poppy couldn't help her. And it also hurt that her best friend hid something from her like she didn't trust her that much. Poppy wanted to help the whole Village and she even couldn't help her best friend! It was overwhelming.

- I'm sure you're not - Poppy pressed on her.

Suki twisted her lips. But didn't say anything.

- Suki, I am your best friend - Poppy said raising her arms widely. - You can tell me everything.

- I Just... Dunno... - She mumbled. - We don't spend that much time since you... started going out with Creek.

Poppy melted.

- I've even noticed that you spend time only with me out of all the Snack Pack - Suki gulped and looked at Poppy kinda worried if she was already upset or not.

- You know there are many bad things in this world and you always try to pretend that everything is ok - Suki continued, sitting up on the couch. - I feel like you hide more from me than I do from you. And it also feels like you hide those things also from yourself.

Poppy bit her lips. It wasn't true, was it? She just tried to be perfect Queen and make everyone happy. Was it bad?

And then she recalled her dad and felt tears in her eyes.

- No - She said, rubbing eyes and standing up. - No! I'm just trying to help you, ok?

Suki looked at her really sad.

- You didn't even listen to me.

- No, I listened!

- So what was I saying?

- About... About... - Poppy was shattered. - About me being bad Queen.

Suki rubbed her eyebrows.

- I didn't say that.

- Yes, you did!

- Ok, even if I did, I didn't mean it! - Suki was calm before, now she couldn't hold her tongue - Please, stop behaving like a child and escaping from your problems! Just listen to me!

Poppy couldn't stand it anymore. It was too much for one day. Too much, really too much... She started shaking her head.

- No - She said. - I've got enough to listen today!

And there she was. Running from Suki's pod through the Forest. Again.

It was really late evening so this time the woods were really dark and grim. Also, she didn't think about not getting lost in the Forest this time so she was of course lost after a few minutes. She didn't let the tears go down so she ran with a blurry view, almost gropingly. When she stopped, she found herself panting and exhausted, both physically and emotionally.

- You got this - she said to herself. - You are strong and you are brave. You can be a good person, you can be a good Queen...

She closed her eyes and frowned, whispering.

- But you can't be a good friend and you can't be a good daughter.

She felt tear swam down through her cheek. But before she could think more, she heard singing:

When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?

- Oh no - She whispered. She forced herself to run again. Running as fast as she could. Running towards the singing.

When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?

She felt her legs hurt, but she couldn't give up. She couldn't disappoint anybody else.

When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?

She was almost there. She heard his voice so clearly. Suddenly she popped out from the leaves and stood a few meters away from Branch.

It was really unexpected. For him and for her.

Firstly, closely he looked different than she had imagined him. She thought for some reason he would be dirty, rusty, ugly, hunched, his hair is a mess... You know, just awful and wild. Like a troll who lived in the Forest for years and hated trolls so much. But he was... He was handsome. His black hair wasn't in a mess (there was also something galvanizing with them). His leaves hand-made vest looked really good, especially on him. And his eyes. His blue eyes were unexpectedly appealing.

- What are you doing here - Branch said toughly like it wasn't a question. She noticed that he also had a really pleasant voice, even if he was mean. And then she also noticed a rope that he was holding in his left hand.

It was the only thing that looked exactly as she expected but she wasn't happy with that.

- I guess... - She started shyly. - The same as what you do. Escape from the problems.

He dwined. His 'I hate you, at first sight, stranger' face melted a bit. Just a bit. They stood like that, looking at each other like the time had stopped. Then she felt a bit ashamed, so started rubbing her neck.

- Wanna walk a bit? - Poppy asked shyly.

- I don't want to go to the Village and meet happy-ever-after trolls - Branch murmured.

- Me neither.

He gave her a surprised glance and then looked discreetly on the rope, squeezing it.

- Fine - He added, then hid one hand into a pants pocket and started walking onward without explaining. Poppy just joined to his side but not so close. They were the strangest strangers in her whole life and it felt so dumb and awkward. But she also felt some kind of understanding connection between them, like they had the same sort of problem.

But she was sure they didn't.

- So... I've heard you live here in the woods... - She tried to start a little talk. - How is that?

- I dunno, dark, lonely, dangerous, boring... - Branch said, not looking at her. - Maybe you didn’t even know those words before.

- I knew those words... - She said, but then she added sadly. - I thought I knew...

He looked at her this time. He looked very surprised when she said something sadly.

- Why are you looking at me this way? - She asked, not sure if she was doing something wrong.

- Till now I thought I was the only sad troll... Ever - He said. - And I don't even know... You know who I am?

- Not at all - She answered. - I know your name is Branch and it's not because you like sitting on the branch above the Village and watching the trolls.

Corner of his mouth lifted a little up, making a tiny smile on his face, which surprised Poppy a lot. She didn't know he could do that. Did she amuse him? Thinking about it made her smile a bit.

- And... - She tried to continue. - Trolls thought that you're so mean and scary.

- And you?

- And I?

- You think that too?

- I dunno... I don't know you, I can't judge you but you seem to be really kind.

Branch lifted his eyebrow up.

- Seriously? - He said waggishly.

- Yes, you do!

He looked really amused by her. She didn't even notice when his smile became this wide. She forgot about her problems until he asked her:

- So... What was your problem?

- Hey! You didn't ask about my name! - She tried to stretch small talk a bit till they would start talking about their problems.

- Your name is Poppy - He said like it was obvious. - Poppy the Queen. Queen Poppy of the Pop trolls. Everyone knows you even if they don't want to.

- I wish they wanted - She said smiling widely and seeing as it made Branch a bit overwhelmed. He urgently came back to the topic.

- So... What's your problem? - He said. - I thought good Queens don't have any problems.

- I don't know if I am one - She said sadly.

- Why do you think so? - He worried. Just a bit.

She twisted her lips. And then groaned out slightly.

- I... I don't even... I can't even visit my dad in the hospital - Poppy forced herself to say that. - He's dying and I... I can't get it. Why him? Why now? Why do I feel so guilty?

She felt her lips wobbling, but she tried so hard not to cry in front of Branch.

- And my best friend... She said that I can't listen. She said I behaved like a child. And she said I was escaping from my problems and... And... And...

She felt tears in her eyes. She made a deep breath to calm herself.

- And she was right. I can't help anyone. Even myself.

- Well, you actually helped someone - Branch said.

Poppy frowned. She lifted up her eyes to see his face, trying to understand what he meant. But then she noticed his hands were empty... And there wasn't rope anywhere.

- And I think the only troll who can help you is your dad - He said with a blank face like he didn't know what expression he should show her.

She put her eyes down on the ground.

- I don't know if I already can...

- You have got time till the end of the world - He said shrugging his arms.

He was right. Her dad couldn't wait any longer for her. She should spend as much time with him as she could. Like... Right now.

And maybe he could be this one person in the world who could understand her hearing-thoughts problem. She looked at Branch so gratefully.

- Thank you - Poppy smiled at him. She wanted so hard to hug him but she knew it would be too much for him. They were still more strangers than friends.

- You're welcome - He crossed his arms on the chest, smiling back to her. It was still surprising how charming his smile was.

- Will we meet again? - She asked, hoping that he didn't disagree.

- Well... - He looked like he was thinking about something. Then he finally said: - But not in the Village.

- No - She smiled warmly. - Not in the Village.

They stood like that for a while until Branch folded his arms saying:

- You don't know the way back, do you?

Poppy giggled. He guessed exactly what she thought.

- No, I don't - She smirked.

Branch rolled his eyes and guided her to the Village.

* * *

It was harder than she'd expected. Or it was just a week full of unexpected things. She came back to the hospital almost in the middle of the night and found the room where her dad laid. She was walking a bit in front of the door - she couldn't go in. It was still too much for her. She hadn't let herself think or feel about it, so now she was filled only with that. She trembled. And then she heard her daddy's voice singing:

Hear my voice... as i'm calling out for you Hear my voice... there are things I wish you knew for even if my heart is strange and hard to understand I'll give all that I have for you I'll help you take a stand so hear my voice... as i'm calling out for you Hear my voice... there are things i wish you knew so hear my voice... Hear my voice.... Hear my voice...

It was really heartbreaking. She went into the room and then she saw him. King Peppy just laid on the hospital bed and looked sadly on the wall. She went towards him and called him out with tears in her eyes. He beamed as he saw her. She jumped to his bed and hugged him so tight.

They cried like they hadn't seen each other for years.

The TREES Bro!!!

Ok so earlier I was rambling about vaguely nostalgic things I wanted to ramble about. And... I'm gonna do that!

Okay so I'm going to start off with how I rediscovered this thing. (What is it? I'll tell ya in a bit.)

Well it all started when I was making a Halloween playlist on Spotify. I got inspired by the music choice channel that plays seasonal music. During Halloween time it plays such a wide assortment of things. There's kids songs, movie themes, sound effects, and a bunch of stuff. It's almost like a grab bag of mixed Halloween candy. A lot of it isn't even strictly for Halloween! I love it so much.

So, to recreate this wonderful channel, I made a playlist and filled it with as many Halloween songs as I could.

And one day, I came across this one song that should be a little familiar to you Disney fans.

youtube

Okay, so I'll admit. I never been to the haunted mansion ride before. Heck, I never been NEAR a Disney park. But for some reason this song felt somewhat familiar for whatever reason. At first I thought... 'Oh! I remember being at a Halloween party when I was ten-ish! Maybe I heard it then!' And maybe I did.

But it felt like MORE than that. Like it was something from WAY BACK. Maybe I just heard that exact song when I was really small? No...

And then it hit me. A memory of some sort of sing along thing.... Something that stuck with me for a long time. The idea that I might've discovered a clue about it... It was exciting.

'Is this-???' I thought- 'Could it be...??? THE TREES?!?!'

Now those of you that have seen this before will know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. And if you don't, you will soon.

I looked up Grim Grinning Ghosts, and I FOUND IT.

youtube

THERE THEY ARE OMG. THIS IS... SO AWESOME! JUST TO SEE THIS AGAIN!

Brief commentary because I can't refuse:

Eeeeeee

Ok but the trees tho

They're so much more goofy looking than I remembered as a kid lol

The way the pumpkin bounces is a little weird but ok

This just screams the 90s

Ah yes the classic Disney villains... The queen from snow white, captain hook, and.... Wait. WHO IS THAT?

*does a quick Google search* Oh. It's the big bad wolf I guess. wHO'S AfrAid of the BiG Bad wOLF?

Donald Duck gets me every single time. Every second of him is a mood booster. If you say otherwise, you're no fun.

I like when he waddles away as the vid fades to footage of the ride. it goes with the music kinda.

also him turning to face the camera at the last second. Classic.

This is just a good version of the song. I like.

Oh here it comes. Her moment to shine...!

There she is! Maleficent!!! Looking good! ❤ 10/10

Donald joins in like 'yes. I am a big bad. Look out' XD

Aw thanks I enjoyed your company too!

Oh shizzle everyone vanished. Now we're left with these weird trees again. This place is haunted! bye y'all!!

Commentary over!

I was so happy to finally find this again. ...Not that it was difficult. But now there's a new mystery. WHERE DID THIS COME FROM???

Not long after I rediscovered this, a YouTube channel I was subscribed to (Disney Dan) uploaded the main vhs the sing along came from, as well as just that specific segment of the video.

youtube

Honestly? Even if you are a big Disney fan, you have to admit that this is just a half hour advert for Disneyland. ...at least it's a fun ad I guess?

Now that Disney Sing Along stuff sounds familiar, but I'm confident I never seen this video before it was uploaded on YouTube.

So that means that the sing along came from somewhere else.... But where? I don't have a clue! ...At least at the time I didn't.

Flash forward to about a year later (last month lol). I was searching for Halloween Disney vhs tapes because I had vague childhood memories of them too. I then came across a vhs called BOO BUSTERS. (Along with two other similar vhs tapes, it was released on October 5th 1993 and they were labeled as "Disney Haunted Mansion Video Collection" ...Apparently. There's another site that says 1994 but ehh... The other two vhs tapes are called Witcheroo and Monster Bash. But i don't think I’ve seen either of those, so it doesn't matter.)

Now why does this matter? Well, in the opening of the tape (as well as the other two tapes) is that exact sing along! Look!

youtube

But... Have I REALLY watched this vhs tape? I mean that one blogspot blog from 2011 says it's RARE!

Well, yeah. I'm 100% sure! Because that same blog recreated the vhs. Well, they posted the opening, the two episodes, and the closing, but still! Watching those two episodes just left me feeling super nostalgic.

Anyway, mystery solved!

Huh? The two episodes on the tape? Goof Troop: Hallow-Weenies, and Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers: Ghost of a Chance.

#rambling #random #random nonsense #disney #nostaliga #nostalgic rambles #idk how i feel about this type of post #let me know if any of yall are willing to see this kinda thing on your dash more often lol #long post

I sent one like this to another but now I want your take with my other favourite ship! So here we go- Roman is smitten with his flatmate Virgil so he tries to summon a demon at the crossroads to make a deal so Virgil will fall in love with him. But the demon that's summoned ends up being his flatmate and hoo boy this is awkward!

(I saw the other prompt you sent to @secretglittersauce and specifically didn’t read it so as not to be influenced. XD Too bad you specified Virgil as the demon, I was leaning more towards Roman for shits and giggles… but now you get Southern!Roman, so there’s that. :D

This took me like fifty years, and wound up way too long, but I hope you enjoy it @fangirltothefullest! I might do one with demon!Patton and Logan as a follow up, if you’re interested?)

Honestly, Roman wasn’t entirely sure this would work. According to folklore, one could summon a demon at a crossroads to broker a supernatural deal. It was a legend spinning around the South for decades, sung in the Blues and whispered between old men in rocking chairs on front porches and store stoops. Hell, Roman had heard it from his own next door neighbor as a mere child. The man, a retired musician and one of young Roman’s many inspirations, used to tell all kinds of stories and fables. Really, it became evident in Roman’s later years that he’d just wanted someone to talk to, or listen.One of those tales had been about the crossroads, and his own experiences with chatting up a demon for a foothold in the music business. Roman had been positively dazzled, though his mother had warned him not to believe in such “nonsense.” She especially warned him not to go wandering about intersections in search of some monster or spirit; that he could pave his own path to his desires.

He really never gave her enough credit. Her advice had pushed him through to adulthood, to where he was now, just the star attraction at the local theater but soon, soon Broadway would be knocking. No, it wasn’t furthering his career that brought him to the crossroads.

Skin white as snow. Hair the color of roasted chestnuts, but fluffy as a newborn chick. Lips that were always chapped because their owner wouldn’t stop chewing on them, pulling them between his teeth and oh, how many times Roman had envisioned his own lips being there instead-

He, may have had a… small thing, for his… roommate. They hadn’t known each other for exceptionally long, but already Roman simply knew they were meant to be. Putting out that ad for a roommate had been the best decision of his life, besides auditioning for his first theater role. They’d hit it off like oil in hot grease, gunpowder and flame, shoving aluminum foil in a microwave and watching the sparks fly. The phrase “opposites attract” had never been more appropriate and Roman knew, he just knew, Virgil must have felt the same. It was a gut instinct, intuition, a feeling in his very bones.Yet, strangely, no matter how hard he tried the man was positively infallible to his advances. Roman liked to think of himself as a romantic; truly the cream of the crop in the flirtatious crowd. He was young and handsome with a smile that gleamed and a voice smooth as silk on the skin. Men and women alike swooned at the mere sight of him. Heartfelt serenades had left more than one romantic prospect weak in the knees.Not Virgil. No pickup line, affectionate gesture, thoughtful song or bold action would sway his roommate. There was the banter, of course, the core and life blood of their relationship, but the mutuality of the spark ended there. Virgil either shrugged off his efforts or outright turned his back on Roman, avoiding it all in the same stubborn manner he’d avoid a proper sleep schedule. It was infuriating at first, but as the weeks went by with zero progress, Roman felt himself growing more and more disheartened. He was desperate.

Which brought him to the crossroads.

Of course, it wasn’t all so simple as wandering to the nearest intersection. No, Roman had to do a little research, and tried to recall details from the story he’d been told as a child. This was going to be quite the grim undertaking, but Virgil was worth it. Roman would do anything to at last break through that gloomy shell and harbor his roommate’s subtle affections.

First, he needed a dirt crossroads. That would be a slight drive to the countryside, but nothing beyond his abilities. Next, he needed a photo of himself- again, hardly a problem. Roman took enough pictures and selfies for ten people. The other two “offerings,” however, were the real test of his mettle. Dirt from a graveyard; morbid, and he’d nearly gotten caught, but luck was on his side. Who knew having a historic graveyard just a few blocks from his residence would be a good thing? The last was the worst. He couldn’t even comprehend why this particular ritual piece would be necessary.

A bone from a black cat.

Roman didn’t like to think about how he’d obtained that one. He hadn’t killed any animals, obviously, thank god. But the alternative wasn’t much more desirable. Still, at the end of the day, he’d claimed his prize and was ready for the event itself.

He wasn’t nervous.

That’s what he told himself, as he shut the items away in a box and pulled the shovel from his car. He kept the mantra up as he found the exact center of the dirt crossroads and dug a shallow hole. Were it not just before midnight, he might have gotten in trouble for this. Thankfully, there wasn’t a residence in sight for at least a mile, and only one lone street light illuminated his desecration.

In went the box. That wasn’t his anxiety spiking, it was adrenaline. This was a big power move. How many people summoned a demon to attain true love? Virgil would probably love it, with his dark affinities and creepy interests. He definitely seemed like the occult type.

Burying the box, Roman patted down the dirt, then returned the shovel to his car. From there, it was just a matter of waiting. Pulling out his phone for a quick game of Candy Crush or a scan of his social media feeds would have been the best time passer, but somehow it felt wrong to bring technology into such a place, during a touchy process like this. He didn’t want to risk anything going wrong. Roman’s knowledge was already shaky at best and at its core this was all nothing but pure rumor and folklore. There was no guarantee it would work.

In the quiet of the countryside, it was just him and the crickets, and the frogs. They chirped away in the field, paying him and his endeavor absolutely no mind. He caught the hoot of a nearby owl and assumed the creature must be up in the old oak tree beside the road. It was the only thing around, besides the streetlight and telephone poles.

The light’s presence came as a relief, honestly. Roman had no idea what phase the moon should be in that night, but it didn’t matter, because the whole sky was clouded over. Not a single star could be seen and thus without the streetlight he would have been stuck in pitch blackness. The heavy shadows outside its circular beam, a metaphorical sanctuary from the unknown, made him uneasy enough. And as the minutes stretched into nearly an hour, he started to wonder if this really was such a grand idea, after all.

In hindsight, it was rather foolish. Go to the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night and bury something in the road, hoping to summon a demon? What was he thinking, exactly? There had to be better ways. There had to be a safer, more sane method to have Virgil fall for him. He didn’t need to do this. He shouldn’t be doing this.

It was when he reached towards his pocket for the car keys that it finally happened, because of course that’s when it did.

The loose dirt where he’d buried the box shifted. It drew his attention instantly, and he blinked. Nothing else happened for nearly a full minute and Roman started to wonder if he’d just seen things, if his mind was indulging his wishful thinking. He shook his head. Anything could have made the dirt move. Maybe he’d buried a beetle too, on accident. Maybe gravity or the wind had finally knocked a few bits of sediment loose. Maybe… maybe…The dirt shuddered again, and then it swelled, rising and spilling out in a circle as something broke through it. Roman knew the hole he’d dug was too shallow for even an animal, let alone a person. There had been nothing this large inside when he’d dropped in the box. The sequence he was viewing with his own two eyes didn’t make any sense.

Yet there it was, a looming shadow with glowing purple eyes. It didn’t look to be much larger than Roman, but its shadow stretched far longer, crossing the boundary of the streetlight to meld with the surrounding darkness. It was holding the box he’d buried. Stunned almost breathless that the stories were true, Roman could only gawk at the thing as it popped the lid off, rummaging around the contents. A hiss bubbled forth from it; Roman swore he could hear the sneer there, even if he couldn’t see it.

“Is this an animal bone? Dude. Nasty.”

Roman blinked again. He recognized that voice. Yes, it was distorted and gravelly, but beneath that was a core cadence he found all too familiar. He squinted, inquisitive, some of the shock ebbing away so that he could push off his car. “I was merely followin’ the necessary ritual! Are ya tellin’ me I didn’t need to include the bone of a black cat?”

The culmination of shadows tossed the bone aside in distaste, snatching up the photograph before callously dumping the graveyard dirt onto the ground. “I mean, if you wanna be all old school about it, sure, I guess. Hope you didn’t kill anything for it.”

Good lord. What place did a demon have to be so damn judgmental?

Roman scoffed and puffed out his chest, confidence returning swiftly on the wings of defensive indignation. “’Course not! Just what kinda person do you take me for, creature of the night?”

He swore the demon rolled its eyes at him, but it was difficult to tell when there were no visible pupils. It stared at Roman’s picture for what felt like ages, not saying anything else, merely scrutinizing his visage. Was this part of the ritual? Did it have to do with the deal Roman would be making? Why didn’t the demon just look at him instead? Then there was the matter of that voice, which Roman still couldn’t pin down. He just knew he’d heard it somewhere- though, that was impossible. This was a demon. How could he know its voice?

At last, the picture abruptly went up in violet flames, not exactly turning to ash but instead disappearing before Roman’s very eyes. The demon performed the equivalent of rolling its shoulders before locking Roman into place with its piercing gaze. “Alright. You summoned me. What is it you want? Fame? Fortune? The hand of some girl who couldn’t care to give you the time of day?”

Roman gasped and pressed a hand to his chest, rightly offended. “Bold of you to assume I like women.”

“Oh, please.” The demon snorted; actually snorted. That sounded familiar too. “I know your type. A dime a dozen; brazen young men who know ‘exactly’ what they want but can’t seem to get their hands on it. So they cut corners, and they summon me, and get me to do their dirty work for them. Or were you just feeling lonely and wanting some company out here, in the middle of nowhere?”

Roman sputtered. He’d expected some derisive comments, perhaps something sinister about the ritual and his soul, but this? This was an absolutely outrageous and unwarranted level of sass. From a demon! He was positively gobsmacked. In fact, there was only one person who so thoroughly thrashed him like this. Ironically, they were the cause for this entire debacle, yet if Roman didn’t know any better he’d think Virgil were there making fun of him. The uncanny similarities were really beginning to grate on his sanity.

Was this part of the demon’s ploy? Did it already know his deepest desire, and was playing on it to wear Roman down? Make him more inclined to accept a grave deal? Swindle him straight out of his soul without actually providing a lick of compensation? What had Roman gotten himself into?

Apparently, the demon didn’t have much patience. It growled softly at Roman’s lack of verbal response. “Well? What do you want? I don’t have all night.”

Roman was surprised by that comment. “Don’t have all night? Whatever do you mean? You’re a demon. What else could you possibly have to do but make deals with people? What, do you have some angels to terrorize? Candy to steal from a baby?”

Oh, the demon was scowling, Roman could just feel it. “I thought maybe, just maybe, viewing me in this form would make you even a tiny bit less annoying. This is what I get for hoping. I should have known hell nor high water would get through that thick skull of yours.”

“Uh. Excuse me?” Now Roman was really confused. “Do I… know you? What do you mean, ‘this form?’ Are you not always a walkin’ ink blot, Bendy the Depressin’ Demon?”

“Like you just said, I’m a demon, princey. I can change my form at will. One of the perks of being a monster. Usually, I just can’t be bothered, so I show up like this and get the deed done with.” The demon sighed, its voice edged with another sneer. “You would be difficult.”

Roman stared. He couldn’t even find it in himself to be offended again, because there was only one person who used that nickname for him: “princey.” Virgil had coined it after coming to one of his musicals, after begging and pleading with the reclusive grump for days. Roman was playing a prince, and after returning home Virgil had commented how fitting the role was. After a bit of banter regarding whether the title was a compliment or not, the nickname had stuck, and it retained a small soft spot in Roman’s heart.

Had the demon read his mind? It was speaking to him with such stark familiarity now, though. The menace and eerie factor were fading in the wake of a growing sass and gruffness. As if directly affected by the change, the elongated shadows were coalescing as well, framing a more distinct silhouette. Roman paled.

It couldn’t be.

“Oh, don’t look so surprised, Your Royal Arrogance. You’ve labeled my appearance as ‘concerningly demonic’ before.”

“Virgil?”

The shadows melted away, revealing pale skin and brown hair and smudges beneath glimmering purple eyes. Virgil’s clothes were nothing out of the ordinary; just his usual ripped jeans and thick, patchwork hoodie. Were it not for the circumstances, Roman might think his roommate had simply snuck along for the ride. Instead, the reality of the matter was starkly reaffirmed for him when Virgil parted his lips to reveal two rows of sharp, pointy teeth. More could be seen behind them as he spoke, the distortion gone from his voice. “In the flesh. Well, relatively speaking. This still isn’t my true form.” He shrugged.

Roman gaped, eyes so wide they could have popped right out of their sockets. He had to be dreaming. Maybe he’d never actually left the apartment. Maybe he’d changed his mind, been sensible and just gone to bed, and now his brain was conjuring up what going out to the middle of nowhere to summon a demon of all things would have looked like.

Which was why it looked like Virgil, because dreams were messed up and jumbled together and never, never made a lick of sense. That was the only explanation. He refused to believe this was real.

A blink, and suddenly Virgil- the demon- no, the dream demon- was in his face, mere inches separating their noses. The demon had raised a fist to mime knocking on the empty air and there was mirth glinting in his eyes. “Knock knock, Prince Gawking. Anybody there?” He gave a dark chuckle when Roman understandably leaped back, hitting his car with a loud “thud.” “Okay, I take it back. You are difficult, but this is also really amusing and totally worth the trouble. You look like a mouse.”

Roman spluttered, his indignation returning as he felt an embarrassed heat rush to his face. “I beg your pardon! I am no mouse!” He hurried to straighten up and dust himself off, tugging down his shirt hem. “An’ you will cease usin’ the visage of my cru- of my roommate immediately!”

Virgil- the demon- snorted, still clearly amused. Every time he so much as smirked, or sneered, Roman got another good look at all of those sharp teeth. The sight of them sent chills running laps along his spine. “Oh, but princey. This is what makes you comfortable, isn’t it?” He spread out his arms. “The person you spend the most time with, the one who’s always on your mind. Oh yes- I gleaned enough from those shoe box offerings you buried. This, is precisely who you want to see.”

Roman paled a bit and swallowed hard. “Listen here, Bruce. Cloakin’ yourself in his skin doesn’t make you any less of a shark. Much as I might compare Virgil to the demonic sort an’ the occult, you are besmirchin’ his name by puttin’ on this little act! I won’t stand for it!”

Abruptly, the demon rushed up in a violent surge of purple flames. Roman was so stunned he stumbled back and landed on his butt in the dirt, all bravado expelling from his lungs in a rush. The sass really made it easy to forget he was speaking with a denizen of hell. “Then sit for it! Because guess what, princey, this is no act.” The demon bellowed. Clearly, it was exasperated and possibly frustrated.

Well, it wasn’t the only one. “Stop callin’ me that!”

“Calling you what? Princey?” The demon sneered, though it was simmering down, returning to its more humanoid form.

“Yes, princey!” Roman snapped. He scrambled to his feet, determination burning in his brown eyes as he worked up the courage to stare the monster down. His fists had clenched at his sides. “You’re not allowed to use it. Only he is.”

The demon quirked a brow. “Who? Virgil?” Another dark chuckle and the demon shook its head. “Oh, princey…”

“What did I jus’-”

“Who exactly did you think you were talking to all this time? A doppelganger? Tough luck.” A blink, and suddenly a more realistic, spot-on Virgil was standing there. The sharp teeth were gone, the eyes had dulled and the sinister aura which had been whipping about the creature had disappeared. “Virgil is already here. It’s me, I’m him. So, that means I can say what I want. Princey.”

“That’s impossible!” Roman exclaimed. “Virgil isn’t a demon. He’s my roommate! He’s always been perfectly human, this is jus’- ’s some dream, ‘r a sick joke. You said it yourself, you can shapeshift! This is jus’ a trick to steal my soul!”

“Uh, newsflash, Drama Overlord. You came here and summoned me. To make a deal. Exactly what were you planning to barter with if not your soul?”

“Well- that’s, uh…”

“Trust me when I say you’re not dreaming. I know that first part- trust me- might be a hard pill to swallow, but this is real, and you’re no Sleeping Beauty. You’ve already hit your ass twice. Don’t you think you would’ve woken up by now?” Virgil was starting to circle Roman, eyeing him up like a wolf or a butcher.

Roman would really like to know just where his bravery had run off to. He had a few choice words for it. “I mean, that’s… that is…”

“And you’re right. I can shapeshift. But I’m not gaining much by taking this form, am I? I could’ve stayed a shadow and gotten this crap over with. I just wanted to see the look on your face at realizing you’ve been sleeping under the same roof as a demon all this time. Real hellspawn. I could prove it, if you like.”

He swore he felt something brush against his back; did Virgil have a tail? Horns, too. Was it on purpose? Was Virgil just messing with him?

“You always hide the spare key under the loose step instead of the doormat. You won’t admit it but there’s a bunny sticker still stuck to the sliding glass door for the balcony from when you put them up as Easter decorations and didn’t realize they’d be a bitch to peel off. All of your shampoo smells like a fruit salad, you have an entire stash of Lush bath bombs hidden under your towels, you spend at least one entire hour every morning getting ready, even if you have nothing planned for the day.”

“Now jus’ hold on a minute-”

“You sleep with a stuffed Build-A-Bear you dressed up like a prince, his name is Sir Growls-a-Lot. You refuse to drink anything carbonated, even sparkling water, and you always put Crofter’s on your breakfast- even when it’s not toast. You prefer cinnamon toothpaste over mint like the damn Extra diva you are. I can go on. And trust me, unless I’d been targeting you, I would not know all of this.” Virgil grumbled, “I sort of wish I didn’t….”

Roman was gobsmacked- again. He stared at Virgil for a long period of time before finally, slowly, bringing a hand up to press against his own chest. His eyes stung with the wetness of unshed tears and his expression was the epitome of fondness. “You… remembered all that… about me?” His voice squeaked a little.

Virgil immediately looked like he’d swallowed an entire lemon. He glowered at Roman and shoved hands into his pockets. “Shut up.” His voice reverberated and echoed, like it had while he was ensconced with shadows. “Point is, I’m a demon. The dude you’ve been rooming with is a goddamn demon so now the question is, what are you gonna do about it? I’m still waiting to hear what you want. But then are you just gonna go back? Pretend this was all a dream and look at me the same in the morning?”

Roman blinked. Oh. Right. The entire reason he’d driven out here in the middle of the night, and gone through the trouble of gathering the ritual items. He’d almost forgot. In an instant, it felt like a stone had been dropped into his stomach, and his next swallow was around a dry throat. He began to fidget, no longer able to look at Virgil, those soft feelings gone from his face. He awkwardly cleared his throat. “Ah… yeah. About that. You see… it’s… um. Right, the thing is… I….”

Virgil released an aggravated sigh. “Get on with it, Your Shyness. I don’t have all night.”

“What do you mean you don’t have all night? You’re a demon- nevermind, nevermind, gettin’ off topic here.” Roman cleared his throat again, desperately coughing into his fist as if it would make this any easier. How was he supposed to know the demon he summoned would be the same person he wanted to fall for him? This is what he got for messing with the supernatural. “I wanted… to… have someone fall for me. As hard as I’ve fallen for them. You see, they don’t seem to really notice me, or my advances. I’m… jus’ about at wit’s end.”

Virgil scoffed. “I can see that. You summoned me for help. Pretty desperate.” He brushed some of his bangs out of his face with a soft huff. “Should’ve known it’d be something love related, if not fame. You always were the worst type of romantic.”

Roman winced. He tried not to shrink under Virgil’s scrutiny, but it was hard. Because he knew which question was coming next.

“Surprised you’re so embarrassed about it all of a sudden. Or that you didn’t rant to me about it. You ramble about all your other passions in life. What makes this guy so different?” He eyed Roman a bit longer, partially just to make the man squirm, before shrugging his shoulders. “Whatever. Not like it matters. What’s the poor asshole’s name?”

“Ah…” Roman rubbed at the back of his neck and shuffled his feet. Never before had he been so nervous, even before his very first on-stage performance in front of a real crowd. He was basically confessing here- not even just that, he was admitting that he cared for Virgil’s affections enough to seek out a demon. Hoo boy. He’d really stepped in it this time. “His name… is… Virgil.”

It was Virgil’s turn to blink. He stared at Roman, taken aback, before cool indifference slid over his face again with a shake of his head. “Wow. Figures. Same name as me, this is gonna be fun to deal with.” He sighed. “Last name? Gotta have the whole thing if I’m gonna mess with their head.”

Roman wrung his hands together. Well, there was no real backing out now. Might as well go the whole nine yards. “Virgil Deimos.”

The silence which instantly engulfed their little ring of light was palpable. The tension from Virgil’s initial appearance, which had slowly ebbed away, returned with a nasty vengeance and then some. It was so thick in the air Roman swore it was trying to choke and suffocate him. He wanted to cough, but he’d admit it- he was too scared. Virgil was staring him down with such a blatant intensity and disbelief that it stole away his last remaining breath.

Why the hell did he still find him so beautiful, even like this? He must have a death wish.

At last, the silence was broken by the sound of tinkling glass. Except it wasn’t glass, it was Virgil, and he was beginning to laugh. The demon laughed, tilting his head back, the sound warped and distorted and just a touch hysterical. Roman thought he saw a glimmer of tears rimming those smudged eyes and he grimaced. He hadn’t even known it was a thing for demons to cry. He’d certainly never seen Virgil do it, but then, Virgil usually hid away in his bedroom whenever he was feeling upset about something.

The laughter subsided, and Virgil brushed away the tears with a careless finger. They must have been from pure mirth because he didn’t look sad at all when he focused on Roman again. “You’re joking. Okay, I get it. You find out I’m a demon, you know I’ve been scaring the piss out of you on purpose, so you try pulling my leg. Good one. Now what’s his real name?”

Roman sputtered. “That is the name! Virgil Deimos.” He stared the demon down, even as he felt that heat return to his cheeks. “…you. It’s you, alright?”

Virgil’s eyes glinted purple for a brief moment, and then he took a step back. His expression shifted to shock. “You’re serious. Holy shit.”

“Uh, isn’t it an oxymoron ‘r somethin’ for a demon to use the word holy-”

“Shut up.” Virgil snapped, before running clawed fingers through his hair. “Holy shit. Holy shit. You mean it. You mean… me. Me. Why?” He turned to look at Roman again, his eyes narrowed with newfound suspicion and paranoia. “…why?”

Roman bit at his tongue for a moment. Lord, hadn’t he gone through all of this trouble to avoid blatantly confessing his feelings to Virgil? Still, now that he knew Virgil was a demon with untold power, he was far more inclined to just answer the question. He only hoped Virgil didn’t get insulted or something and decide to rip his guts out. “Why? Why? Because you’re soft-” He tensed as Virgil hissed and hurried on. “-a-an’ attractive!”

Virgil scoffed. “You call me things like ‘Emo Nightmare’ on a regular basis, princey. And constantly judge my ‘look.’” Virgil raised his hands to use air quotes for emphasis.

It was Roman’s turn to huff. “Jus’ because I might not… agree… with your fashion choices, that doesn’t mean you aren’t attractive. You’ve got this sort of… broody, dark allure about you.”

“Wow, you really only hit half of that ‘Prince Charming’ nickname, don’tcha?”

“Shut up an’ listen to me!” Roman snapped, and he was a little surprised when Virgil actually blinked and shut his mouth. Well… good. Maybe he could actually get out more than one sentence at a time now. He tugged down his shirt a bit and straightened his shoulders. “From the moment I saw you, I was smitten. Downright lovestruck, do you hear me? Cupid took one of his frivolous little arrows an’ jabbed it straight into my heart!” He mimed the act of being stabbed in the chest.

Virgil rolled his eyes, but there was the barest hint of a smile on his face. “Nice choice of words there.” At Roman’s glare, he held up his hands. “Couldn’t resist, couldn’t resist, go on.”

Roman pouted at him. “Laugh an’ be amused all you want, but I speak the truth. There are many things I like about you, Virgil.” His tone softened, along with his gaze, and he offered the demon a hand. Of course, Virgil only proceeded to stare at the appendage like Roman had lost his mind, and maybe he had. He continued speaking nonetheless. “I like how your hair is an utter mess in the mornin’, but you don’t seem to care. I like how meticulous you are about your eye liner, an’ your hoodies, but little else. I think it’s adorable that your favorite color is purple, that you doodle little storm clouds any time you get your hands on paper an’ a writin’ utensil. I like how intense your voice gets when you’re passionate, an’ how witty you can be with your sass. Few can be a match for me, after all.

“I like how you always curl up into a ball, no matter what you happen to be sittin’ on. How you always hug the throw blankets an’ pillows. You’re never cold, you jus’ like to be cradled in soft things, an’… I’ve always wondered if that could include my arms.” Roman dropped to a knee. He wasn’t entirely sure why, but it just felt right. This grand gesture and confession of love needed the proper pose! “I’ve wanted you, Virgil. I’ve wanted you for weeks an’ I’m at my wit’s end.”

Virgil actually looked uncomfortable, but not in a bad way. More like he’d never dealt with this sort of affection before, or the feelings it caused. He was flustered. “You can’t be serious. Crushing on me for weeks? All we ever do when we’re in the same room together is butt heads.”

“That’s jus’ it!” Roman exclaimed. “I absolutely live for our banter, the heat of a verbal battle, each of us vyin’ to have the last clever word! That’s when you’re at your most fiery, your most enticin’. I tried comin’ onto you in several ways, but you always mistook my flirtations as a gag, ‘r a tease. You always completely missed the point an’ you never took me seriously- just like you’re not takin’ me seriously right now!” Roman’s eyes might as well have been aflame. “Well, it doesn’t matter if you believe me or not! You’re here to make a deal with me, right? I want Virgil Deimos to notice me. I want him to feel things for me. Or at the very least, see my motives for what they truly are.”

Virgil seemed to be at a loss, and Roman knew he had him. The demon squinted at him, scowling hard and shoving his hands back into his hoodie pocket. “You realize that means I get your soul, right? You’re not even asking me to fall in love with you, or be yours. You’re asking for a chance. That’s all.”

Roman smiled, and his voice had gone soft again. “I know. But even if you are a demon, I wouldn’t want to force you into anythin’. I wouldn’t try to make anyone love me. What’s the point, then? Is it really love? I just want a chance to earn it. I want that initial spark, an’ then time to see if I can fan the flames into somethin’ truly marvelous an’ worthwhile. An’… if I fail at that….” He dropped his gaze. “…I suppose it would at least have been worth the adventure, in the end.”

Virgil pursed his lips. He looked legitimately torn for a moment, which was odd. For him, as a demon, surely this must be a real win-win of a situation. No matter what, he’d get Roman’s soul, and he might not even need to pay the full price for it. So why did he look so conflicted? “I….” He stared at Roman for several moments longer before sighing. “I… can’t. I can’t make this deal with you.”

Roman was immediately on the defense. “Why not?! I summoned you! You’re supposed to take whatever deal I’m offerin’, that’s how it works, you can’t jus’-” A cold finger pressed to his lips and his brown eyes widened.

“Shut up, princey.” Virgil growled. He was quick to remove his finger, clearly uncomfortable with the gesture but desperate to stop Roman from talking. “I’ll still make you a deal. Just… not that one. Not one for your soul.” He grumbled, “At least not immediately.”

Roman blinked. “What… do you mean?”

Virgil sighed. “Listen. I might be a demon, but I’m not heartless, and I’m not as cruel as I could be. I’m not… just gonna let you throw away your soul on me. But I am obligated to make a deal with you. So how about this? I’ll… give you your chance. To swoon me, win me over, whatever. If… if you fail at that, like you decide to give up and move on, I… I get your soul then. But if it works, deal’s off. You won’t owe me anything.”

Roman could do nothing except stare at Virgil, wide-eyed. He belatedly realized he was still on his knees. Something about that minute detail made the situation all the more poignant. “But… why? Why do this for me?”

Virgil wasn’t looking at him, but he did provide an answer; sort of. “Don’t worry about it. Demon business. You wouldn’t understand.” Roman had a feeling that was a load of bull, but Virgil barreled on so he couldn’t call the demon out on it. “Anyway, do we got a deal or not? I can’t refuse to make one with you, but… you can change your mind. Now’s your last chance to do it.” Virgil stuck out his hand.

Roman’s stare shifted to the appendage instead, while the gears churned away inside his head. Technically, he was still getting what he wanted. Now he just had the chance to skip out on eternal damnation. He couldn’t even be paranoid about it being a trap or a trick; Virgil had clearly lowered his odds at getting Roman’s soul. It really didn’t make a lick of sense to him, but… who was he to look a gift horse in the mouth? Perhaps Virgil had a change of heart. Maybe he already saw Roman in a new light, after all. His stance on trying had hardly changed, so… he had nothing more to lose.

Decisively, Roman took Virgil’s hand, giving it a firm shake. “Deal.”

A flicker of anxiety passed through Virgil’s face before it dimmed back into indifference, and he retracted his hand. “Alright. Cool. You just made yourself a deal with a real life demon, Sir Desperate. How does it feel?”

In a single, fluid motion, Roman rose to his feet. One hand pressed fingertips to his chest, while the other swooped out in a grand gesture towards Virgil. He was giving the demon his very best smolder. “Like I’ve got a chance in hell.”

Virgil’s eyes widened, then he snorted, shaking his head. “This is gonna be hell. For me, anyway.” He looked over at Roman’s car and quirked an eyebrow. “You drove all the way out here in the middle of the night? You really do have a death wish.”

Roman laughed and spun on his heel, hands rising up towards the sky. “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn!”

so i finally found Power of the Primes Grimlock. i’ve been wanting this guy since he was announced because, well, at this point, i’m just in it for any Grimlocks and Thundercrackers, and the correctly Knockout, or repaints of my favorite molds.

i was initially intrigued by the kibble he had...but then come to find out it’s only pertinent to the combiner so *shrugs* left that and the minicorn thingy in the package cause i don’t want it. love how the instructions don’t say how to turn him back into robot; guess you can only go from robot to dino to combiner. i also got a chuckle out of his card, cause well, in my GrimJu stuffs, he certainly does “seed...with bots of unimaginable strength” lol. still haven’t watched Prime Wars, so the whole extra factions probably makes sense if i do, i know...

right out of the box, slightly unimpressed that his waist doesn’t have the best connectivity. i did manage to pup it back in all the way, but yeah...i now he’s the middle of a combiner so it’s made that way for that purpose, but still. i do like his ratchet joints though; the clicks are satisfying to hear and unlike my FoC Grims, i don’t feel like i’mgonna snap a piece off of him when i turn them.

i don’t have any G1 Grims, so comparing to my G1 colored FoC Grim. PotP is shorter, which is slightly amusing. coloring wise they’re spot on, and i do like the decals on PotP (again, never had many G1 figures, so this is a bit of a nevelty to me). the heads are different enough but also close enough.

lol can’t make a robo-headed dino from the FoC mold that’s or sure. he looks so dorky XD

in dino mode there’s a huge difference between these two. again, the PotP figures seemed like they wanted a more G1 look to them i think? which i think it accomplished, at least in comparison to FoC. and i actually really like that PotP isn’t hollow like FoC is; don’t get me wrong, i still love the FoC mold, but this is just different enough to be also as good. PotP doesn’t light up though, so minus 10 points from Griffendor i guess lol. (and don’t worry i figured out how to turn him back into dino even without the paper saying it’s possible)

didn’t look at his combiner piece form because i’m not doing that. though i will say that if you force the combiner head out too hard the little red piece on top of it will fling out. it was annoying to pop back in, but at least i didn’t break it i guess.

now the most important part; how does he look with Judora?? um....well....eh i guess? he’s kinda too short and...well, square. so it’s a good thing i can put my demon dragon with the FoC or AoA ones then lol. doesn’t look too bad with PotP Slash either, though she does look better next to FoC again because he’s taller and she lacks the decals and has the painting like he does.

still, i like him a bunch. the things i don’t like are tied into being a combiner, which i don’t have any interest in following through with, so makes sense. pretty mice to have a more G1-esque Grim now. now go wait for the Cyberverse Grimlocks to start showing up i guess.

It started with me writing a DMC fanfic. Gotta admit it’s my first completed long-fic. I was sort of coping with a lack of more Vergil content before Vergil DLC was announced (well, I still hoped for a little of story but that’s fine...) so I decided to make a Vergil-centric fanfiction. Eh, to be fair I hate how I am not a native English speaker so it pains me how I am not able to convey my ideas and descriptions as well as I’d in Polish language.

Anyways since it was a long story then it was impossible to just stick to the already existing characters. So I made some... OCs. But honestly they were mostly recycled - Nero’s mother and then I decided to recycle Gilver. And then the most original OC was proto-version of today’s Michael. Sadly he was a plot tool what I felt very guilty about. XD

Initially he was there to move to plot, introduce characters to certain situation they ended up involved in.

2 years later I saw DMC OC Week announced. My initial reaction was like “Oh, that’s something for my friends. They have so much OCs” and didn’t consider myself to participate. I didn’t remember this OC. I had a stance that I had no OCs and truth be told I’ve never been really a very OC person to begin with. But honestly I didn’t feel good for being just a fanartist person. Yeah, fan art is cool. Interpreting existing characters is cool... but I didn’t feel creative for this.

So somehow a memory of this resurfaced again and he couldn’t leave me for a good month. So I sketched him. Posted the sketches. For reasons... people loved him. To be fair my first idea was just to drop him and... go back to fanart stuff. I wasn’t too confident with him but the reception was surprising.

So instead I decided to focus on him. Only one OC. Sort of first one in my life. And he used to be a badly treated OC. So why wouldn’t I polish him or rewrite him entirely? I thought.

His original self was a bit older and more grim. But he was a neutral character - without bad nor good intentions. To be fair Michael still carries his approach - his goal is to end the cult with a help of Spardas (I can see him being taken as a suspicious character just like V was but unlike V you’d discover that Michael all wanted was to destroy a cult, which was truly dangerous and backed up by Spardas’ arch-enemy - so kinda the opposite of V, who tricked everyone into fixing his mess?). Both were hurt by this place but now I kinda fleshed out the consequences on a more personal level for him... and toned down some stuff XD But the fanfic one was simply not so involved in ending the cult... but it’s because he didn’t really have great skills to offer to help. All he had to offer was strangely extensive knowledge on them. He was very purely human unlike his current self, who received some supernatural powers to offer (as a result of what the cult has done to him without his consent).

So far I am happy the way I developed him for now. But there is more stuff to come in the future hehe.

what inspired you to create your character? were they a joke, or very seriously and carefully planned? is there anything about them you might still change?

Oh and @blookity-bloke coz you wanna read this?

Longest snippet.

OOC warning

Enjoy?

~Shintori Khazumi *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

“AKKO!”

Diana ran as fast as her legs could carry her, not caring for the rules for once in her life, which was a great shock to many as she was Diana.

The Diana Cavendish.

Finneran, who had been walking the halls at the same time, stood with mouth agape, blinking in disbelief, wondering if all that was a dream.

And no one could really recover fast enough to scold Diana for breaking these rules, and she wouldn’t have listened either way.

Because no matter what, she needed to reach Akko. Why?

“I didn’t catch her.”

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Luna Nova Academy. Four years dedicated to intense magical improvement. In the first two years, it was chock full of basics and lectures. The fourth year was for focusing on a chosen specialization. But the third year…

The third year of Luna Nova had a requirement under the rule of ‘Application’. Students should apply all that they learned in their studies and do so through assigned missions.

Of course, it was a given that these missions be done by team, thus Diana had been separated from her dunce-like lover for the time being.

Sure she had been worried at first, especially after hearing the girl’s team had, by some odd stroke of fate, been assigned one of the worst missions, recovering the poisoned feathers of a cockatrice found in the Arcturus forest. Diana clearly did not like the arrangement, but Akko had insisted she’d be fine, even joking about it, telling Diana that she and her team had already done such a thing, just as they entered the academy, possibly the reason for their assignment.

Besides, Sucy was an expert on all things poison and was very capable in magic. Lotte would be there as well. The level-headed voice of reason. And Diana consented because she had faith in all of them.

However, a week later, the day for all teams to return from their assignments, Diana had found it hard to locate any of the red team members, which was puzzling as their leader alone could create such ruckus to be noticed.

But now… It was strangely tranquil.

The blonde approached the arrival staff, inquiring of the returnees, but among the names on the checklist, the red team’s box had yet to have a tick.

She frowned, concern ever growing…

-Then she heard her name in a strained, frantic voice.

“D-Diana!”

“Lotte? Sucy?” They had grown close enough to address each other by name.

Diana caught the teary-eyed girl, trying to soothe her enough to tell her what was wrong, and also…

“Where is Akko?” Diana said, more worried than ever, still not spotting her girlfriend.

Her stomach churned as Sucy looked away, Lotte grim as she tried to muster enough strength to speak.

“In-infirmary… It…. Was.. It chased us. I fell… She saved me and…” Lotte cried again, shaken up.

The next words made Diana’s heart imitate the action of her girlfriend.

It dropped.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

The door swung open, Diana rushing through every curtained section of the clinic, flipping the silk cloths aside in search of her brunette love. Reaching the last one, she stood there by the window, sweaty and panting.

There, lying on her back, groaning and covered in bandaged scratches- and scratches exposed, was Akko in all her battered glory.

At the sound of heavy breaths, and a yell of her name, Akko brightened up and forgot all her pain at seeing Diana, and couldn’t help but grin sheepishly, joking about her failure, falling like before, and laughing as she pointed at her freshly bandaged leg being placed in a cast by the nurse who was just leaving, clicking her tongue at the piece of work.

“Pretty Stupid, huh?” The brunette chuckled mirthless.

Before she could react, the heiress had thrown herself onto her girlfriend, crying tears of relief.

“I’m so glad you’re alright! ” Diana wrapped her arms around Akko, squeezing tight.

“Di-Diana, I’m fine!” The girl said in slowly disappearing surprise, patting the heiress back. “Really, I am!” She reassured with a small laugh.

Diana pulled away shortly after, maybe realizing that she had just thrown her entire weight on the injured Atsuko Kagari.

“Are you absolutely certain you are alright ? I know I just said it, but you aren’t in any pain are you?” She inquired, more calmly this time around.

Akko sighed fondly before nodding, smiling widely, crinkles by her eyes. “YES, Diana. I am perfectly fine.”

The heiress didn’t seem the least bit convinced, moreso as by simply sitting on the bed and shifting Akko’s position the smallest inch, the girl immediately winced as the weight moved her hurt lower body.

“Ngh- No-! D-don’t say sorry!” Akko noticed the way Diana’s eyes widened as she sat down and sprung back up to her feet, seeing the pained look on Akko’s face, mouth forming in apology. “S-sit back down.” The brunette tried to get out with less of a grunt that held back her breath as she tried to hide her pain.

“I am so sorry.” Diana spoke wearily, stepping closer to Akko’s face as she caressed her cheek, too scared to sit again.

“Like I said, don’t be.” Akko smiled reassuringly, grasping Diana’s wrist as she shifted for some space for Diana, and the heiress wanted to protest against Akko’s movements if it weren’t for the finger on her lips shushing her. “Sit.” Her girlfriend commanded, patting the spot next to her.

With no other choice, Diana complied. The pair stayed that way in silence for so long, they felt time to be unmoving.

“What… Happened, exactly?” Diana asked after a while, wanting to know the full tale of how the brunette ended up in such a state.

Akko tried sitting up, making little sounds of struggle and Diana grimaced as Akko was taking far too long simply doing such an easy task.

“Sorry for the wait.” She said, now turning to the concerned blonde. “Would you prefer the child-safe version or the graphic one?” The troublesome witch asked, still jesting all the way despite the air of seriousness her counterpart donned.

“Akko…” Her voice held warning, and the aforementioned sighed, relenting.

“Alright, alright.” She looked down, searching for Diana’s hands to play with them as she told her story; a way to hopefully keep them BOTH calm and the heiress certainly appreciated the gesture, nodding for her girlfriend to continue.“So… The three of us were finally deployed and we managed to get to Arcturus forest just fine.” Akko began relaying her tale. “Sucy somehow did some weird call, and BAM! Cockatrice outta nowhere trying to nip at us.”

The brunette turned to her companion, checking for any signs of lingering resent or worry, but was glad to see Diana listening intently, trying to understand everything.

“We tried doing what we did last time it happened. I acted as bait while leading it to a mandrake to trap it while Lotte and Sucy grabbed the feather. The plan was working pretty good…” Akko trailed off, recalling events she might not have wanted to. “Sucy packed the feather away and we were just gonna head back early. Like, just second day into mission early.”

“Then?”

“But then, the chicken-dragon escaped and Lotte didn’t see it trying to get her… So it managed to snag her broom and she fell. And…” Akko scratched the back of her neck. “I tried to save her, but when I tossed her to Sucy, that thing snapped at me and I lost my balance and just…. Whoosh, splat.”

Diana knew Akko worded it that way so as to not worry her, but it did not help at all. It only enlightened her already fearful mind.

“Before you ask, It all happened so fast I didn’t get the timing right to cast any spell. It was pretty late when I managed to start. Sucy was too busy trying to catch Lotte so she saw me late too. It’s not their fault. More likely, it’s mine, but really, no one is hurt and I’m glad.”

“NO one? Akko! Look at you!”

Akko tried to explain more. “Lotte did first aid, and we got back three days earlier cause I made travel longer, so the nurse tried to patched me up. I’m fine already, really. Maybe kinda sore… And…” The brunette actually looked melancholic for a moment. “My leg’s just… Getting there.”

That sad voice grew a lump in the heiress throat, and somehow she knew Akko’s broken leg hurt more than just physically.

Diana freed a hand, looking down and rubbed the limb, drawing circles on the knee with a sad smile. “Sorry.”

“For what?” Akko asked, laughing the slightest bit. “You didn’t do anything, Diana.”

“Exactly. I did not do anything.”

The way Diana said it worried Akko so much. She was troubled quite often because of the mischievous witch, but Akko was trying to change that. But right now, Diana’s gloom was enshrouding her for a reason Akko could not comprehend.

So, she asked.

“Diana, Love…” Akko cupped the face of the blonde, willing her to speak to her not only with her mouth, but with her eyes and whole body. “Look at me. Hey. Tell me, what’s wrong?”

Diana only looked sadder and Akko could have been the one to cry for her, if only to lessen her sorrow by letting it out. The brunette did not feel her pain, but Diana’s as the heiress felt her own.

“I regret not being there to catch you this time around.” The heiress finally admitted, eyes not able to look into Akko’s for much longer.

Akko looked at the resentful state of the Love of her life, patting her on the head before kissing the spot.

“It can’t be helped, can it?” She smoothed out the rebellious hair strands on Diana’s head brought on by all that earlier running.

Diana no longer replied, simply allowing Akko to spoil her a bit, relaxing significantly.

By accident her hand went to Akko’s leg and as her body lost tension, she placed weight on the injured leg, immediately retracting her hand as Akko hissed in pain.

“Akko! I… I apologize. It wasn’t my intention-”

“It…s… Hah… Fine.” The patient desperately tried to put on a smile, but all she wore was a pained grimace. She hated how she was far too sensitive. A little mass and hurt would jolt up her system. She didn’t like it. Immovable and weak. And now Diana…

“I… I apologize.” The heiress was close to tears as Akko had her eyes deeply shut, trying to breathe out the pain slowly.

“It was an… Accident. Fine…” Akko got out through gritted teeth. Diana still couldn’t accept it, but she knew their were better ways to resolve this than with arguing with Akko.

“Let me at least heal you myself.” “That way I can rest assured that you are perfectly fine and patched up.” She said. “And I can make up for what happened. I know you are far from healed properly.”

Akko laughed at the statement, feeling as though she were recovering already. “It’s like you’re saying you don’t trust the nurse.”

“I don’t.” Diana replied bluntly, wiping the tears from her eyes as she begins her healing.

Akko spluttered. The answer was that surprising.

“At least, when it comes to you.” Diana inserted, a light pink dusting her features in a blush. “Honestly, the woman always sends you away indifferently.”

Akko smiled at the concern, warm and bubbly inside as she was now giggling, the magic flowing pleasantly through her battered system. “Well, with how often I’m here, why not?”

“A forty-one degree fever, accompanied by a migraine and vomiting.” Diana growled, recalling a particularly bad incident. “And all she did was send you off with tea and cold medicine?!”

“She must have been busy. Relax, Love.” Akko chuckled, leaning over to plant kisses along Diana’s jawline as she pulled her lover into her lap despite the taller girl’s protests.

“Akko, your leg-”“Wasn’t that all I needed to get over the fever?” Akko asked as Diana shifted her body off Akko’s leg, opting to sit beside her instead in close proximity.

“No. Absolutely not! You need care, help, affection. You need-”

“You?”

Diana froze for a while, mind ticking in thought until red exploded all over her face, ears and neck.

“Wh-what-?!”

“I mean… You are my 'Love’, after all.” Akko chuckled as she wrapped her arms around Diana. Happiness was consuming her and she would believe that part of it was just Diana being a magical existence in her life. “I love you~”

It wasn’t intentional, but Diana’s hand moved to slap Akko’s shoulder out of embarrassment, gasping as she realized it.

“O-ow.. You sure have a lot of strength.” Akko joked, eye closing.

“S-sorry!” The heiress rubbed the spot soothingly, casting a minor healing spell there before placing a kiss on the affected area. Akko hummed, pleased. An idea entered her head.

“You know…”

“What is it?” Diana asked, now focusing on Akko’s little scratches and bruises as she would get back to the broken leg later. Bones were hard to heal no matter the magic.

“There’s something you do that seems more effective than your healing spells.” Akko wagged her brows, grinning as she loved her idea.“Huh? What could possibly be more-” Diana was confused, after all, the Cavendish lineage had the best repertoire of healing spells available.

“Your kisses alone make me feel sooooooo much better.”

Diana’s whole body, this time, was covered in a blush. For a few moments her jaw hung slack, but then she took back her composure, brushing a stray strand of hair behind her ear as she stopped her spell a moment, leaning forward.

“I see.” She looks away for a moment, thinking, before cupping the back of Akko’s head, fingers massaging it lovingly. “Then I have no choice but to utilize that skill, yes?” She smiled as her lover mirrored her actions.

“Yes.” Akko grinned, unabashedly. “I love you, doctor~!”

“Don’t call me that.” Diana said, stopping mere inches from Akko’s lips. “I love you more.”

“Is that a challenge?” Akko akko chuckled, brow raised.

“No.” Diana leaned the last bit forward, gently bumping their heads together, noses nuzzling, lips lightly brushing. “It’s a fact.”

Akko grinned, leaning in first to claim those soft lips. “That, it is.”

And they shared one of many healing kisses for the day.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

OMAKE:

Akko groaned as her legs ached from the strain and weight she put on them sitting up and when she insisted Diana sit in her lap earlier, even if they were feeling way better than before.

“I’d say I told you so, but I love you for that.” Diana sighed, shaking her head before giggling. “It serves as consequence and warning for your next mission.” The heiress rubbed the sore muscles, a new healing spell at her fingertips. “I hope this was a good lesson.”

“And what would I even learn? Be careful? Practice my skills more?” Akko scoffed good-naturedly as Diana sent her a loving smile, shaking her head no.

“You should learn to take me along with you.”

And Akko died a little inside from the cuteness.

A/N: Too LONG!!! XD Welp... reblog? Hahahahaa.... tell me how it is!

1, 5, 9, 13, 10

1. is there a muse that you wish gets more attention?

Honestly, Melissa. She is so chill and has her shit together probably more than the rest of them and I feel like i don’t always give her the attention she deserves.

5. if you HAD to choose, who’s your least favorite muse?

Oh man this one is kinda tough but I’d have to go with Ella since she is so uptight and it frustrates the hell out if me lmao!!

9. why were you drawn to each one of your characters?

Oh boy be prepared for one hella long answer (Under a read more for Reasons):

Melissa: I really wanted to play Judy Hopps in an rp and I knew I had to use Daisy Ridley cause she just fit so well to me and I absolutely love her!! I didn’t really find any rps that I felt fit for me but then I stumbled across this one and I figured i’d give playing her daughter a shot instead. Honestly, it was the best decision I have ever made!!

Blane: SO Captain Hook is like my favorite disney villain and I just love pirates so much I really wanted to play one!! As you guys know I am Star Wars trash and the idea of using Adam Driver (who’s my bae) as an FC popped into my head and I couldn’t resist. I really love blane though because he is a huge grump but secretly underneath he has a heart of gold and If you couldn’t tell by now that is like my FAVORITE Trope!!

Elliot: I really wanted a character from Frozen and I absolutely love Anna’s personality. She’s so loving yet feisty and I really wanted to transfer some of her personality into one of her kids. THUS Elliot came about!! He was actually originally meant to be a total smol but then the thing with Finn went down and he just kinda turned into an impulsive, fiery, goofball lmao!!

Aria: At the time when I brought Aria in, all the Olympus kids were really tough and just badass and then I got the idea of making an optimistic child from Olympus who was like the baby of the group and needed protecting and I knew I had to apply for her!! Also I really wanted a girl character since Melissa was my only one at the time.

Simon: I’ve always thought that Princess and the frog is grossly underrated and I just love that movie so much!! When I got the idea of playing Simon I couldn’t resist. He is just so shy and awkward yet loving and just ahhhhh he’s my little baby!!

Violet: Okay so I had been wanting to Play the daughter of Victor and Victoria for a little while but I didn’t really act upon it until Whale had said that she wanted to bring in Emmy. Then I was like Okay I have to do it now lol!! Honestly I love that she’s so gentle and vulnerable Even though I can be pretty awful to her for that very same reason. (Sorry Violet)

Chloe: I had been wanting to play a really crazy party animal type of character but I had zero idea of where to put her. Then I saw that The fairy godmother slot was open and I just fell in love with the whole rebellious, out of control, youngest daughter aspect!! The rest just kinda fell into place after that!! I honestly have no idea how the whole batman thing started though but it’s became one of the staples of her personality!! XD

Zelda: I really wanted to use KIm Taeyeon Cause she is bae!! I was tied between making her the daughter of Lucifer or Zero and I ultimately went with Zero because he’s like my fave and I lowkey wanted Halloweentown kid!! I think what I love the most about her is how clueless and excitable she is yet, she’s still endearing at the same time!!

Ruby: I just really wanted a bitchy stuck up kinda character and I knew I wanted a daughter of the queen of hearts so then came Ruby!! I then started thinking of really dark headcanons for her and she kinda transformed from being this stuck up brat to being a lot more vulnerable and I honestly like it much better that way!!

Rooney: Before Rooney I used Alex turner for this really chill, flirty son of Jetsem but my muse for him just plummeted. I really wanted to use Alex Turner still though cause he’s a total babe! When Lucy wanted a sibling for Stevie I was totally sold!! I love that he is like a stereotypical bad boy type who is a total fuck boy (even though he isn’t really so much anymore) with an abusive father and Idk I just really love him!!

Warren: I’m going to be completely honest the idea for Playing Warren actucally came when I heard Grim Grinning Ghosts on a halloween playlist lmao XD!! I actually went to Disneyworld last summer and I rode Haunted Mansion like four times while I was there and it just made me think about how amazing it is!! Then I started coming up with headcanons and a backstory for one of the hitchhiking ghosts and I become obsessed with wanting to play him!! I am so glad I did though cause despite the little shit he is I love warren!! He is really different then most of my other characters and I really love playing this smug asshole!!

Cecily: Beauty and the Beast is my favorite movie of all time and I really wanted to play a princess character so badly so when the slot for Beast and Belle’s kid opened up I knew I had to play her!! The first time I played Cecily she was just all up in everyone’s business and Idk I didn’t really like that a whole lot. Then my muse for her just disappeared and I dropped her which I regretted. Luckily I picked her back up again and she turned out being a lot more gentler and sweet the second time around which I like a whole lot more!!

Ginger: I love Suzy so much and I really wanted to use her but I had no idea where. Then idea of making her a sugar rush kid came to me and I really liked it!! Rancis is a little shit but I love him and the idea of him being this affectionate dad was one i fell in love with!! Ginger was supposed to be a lot brattier then she is now but she ended up being this total sweetheart and i don’t know how that happened lol!!

Elise: Originally Primrose was my sweet flower obsessed blonde princess but I lost my muse for her and I just really missed the idea of having a sweet nature loving princess. Rapunzel is like one of my favorite princesses and I just love her so much (Clearly, like I use her for my mascot and everything lol) So I got the idea of playing her and Flynn’s daughter and it was a total no brainer!!

Archer: I honestly have no idea how I got the idea to make a son of Sitron cause he is such a small and obscure character but I did. I know I wanted a skittish smol from the isle who was an easy target. Park jinyoung is such a cutie and he seemed to really fit the bill and so Archer came to be!!

Bridget: TBH I HAD THE IDEA FOR BRIDGET FOREVER!! Since last november I’m pretty sure. The idea of an energetic sweetheart who had dyslexia and was actucally really insecure was one that wouldn’t leave me alone. Eventually I gave in and the rest is History!!

Ella: Like Bridget Ella was one I had wanted for some time but just never had the strong enough muse to apply for. I also couldn’t for the life of me decide on a Fc for her. I thought of using Crystal Reed but then I ended up using her for Cecily. Then Rouge one came along and me being the trash I am, inspiration struck. Ella turned out to be a lot more of a pain then I had ever imagined she would be though lol!!

Olivia: Boo is adorable and I wanted to play a character who was just very childlike like that so I figured I’d play her daughter!! Plus Lee Sung Kyung is just gorgeous!!

Addie: My inspiration for Addie actucally came about when I was looking for Faceclaims to suggest on the Fc help blog. I stumbled Upon Ashley Moore and I thought Wow she could totally be the daughter of Coraline and Wybie. From there, I started thinking of a personality for her and headcanons and it just spiraled out of control lmao!!

I got 13 in another ask actucally and If I put it on this one it will end up becoming a novel lol!!

10.which muse is the most fun to write for?

I think i’d have to say Warren cause he’s just such a little shit and an unapologetic asshole. He’s also pretty different from the rest of them and I love the whole aspect of him being a ghost it makes writing for him a lot of fun!!
