#A Forbidden Path

[shattered-glasswork]

redo of my OC Eve

Left: new ......................................... Right: old

Information:

Okay so this is a big part of the story for Naomi and Eve. They've gotten into a big argument and Naomi left so Eve is on her own again and not coping well... During this scene we get some Flint (the fox around her neck) and Eve bonding as well and a new character who I'm gonna draw very soon! But yeah I'll probably drop that scene in writing within the next few days so watch out for that! You can also find everything I post about this story at the tag "A Forbidden Path" ↓ that's where I'm keeping all the info, writing and art about this story!

[delusionalwings]

Omg I was thinking abt how the OB boys would be with an MC that has a beautiful voice. Like Lucifer would never admit hoe much he loves hearing them sing, Mammon would ask them to have a little concert so he can charge people even tho he thinks no one else deserves to hear their voice. Levi would want them to repeat his favorite characters voice lines, or the way Satan would love sharing them read books and how Asmo could sit and listen to them talk for hours. Ofc Belphie would want them to sing him to sleep and Beel would always invite them to his workouts, because sometimes he gets lucky and MC sings along to his music (he purposely plays songs he knows they like for that reason)

ohmigod buddy, you are so right! I especially love the mammon one for some reason. TvT LUCIFER IS A PIECE OF SHIT, ISN'T HE?! i would flirt with levi till he passes out XD. as someone who loves to read, i love the satan one ;-; asmo, yaassshhh let's get the gossip going. he definitely wants to become an idol with mc. he also starts a channel called "the voice of the devildom" or something where they ulpoad music videos. it's pro level. ah another day of belphie getting an excuse to be closer to mc ;) beel also loves it when you sing after he finishes eating. it's sweet.

mc would ace seductive speechcraft like a breeze if they have the confidence to say flirty lines-

i wrote for luci and some side characters TvT

LUCIFER

The first time he catches you singing, he hides his presence and gets lost in your melody. That is when he decides that your voice must be his alone.

“Hmm. Why would you stop? Did I give you the permission to do so?”

Unbeknowst to you, he sometimes hums the songs that you are fond of singing when presumably alone. He never admits that he actually enjoys those. He lets on that it’s all his scheme to make your life miserable.

SIMEON

That sounds like the call of the divine, the voice of the angels! What lovely music it is to the ears!

“[Name], could you say the prayers today too? After all, your voice seems to be formed for this reason...”

Whenever he faces a writer’s block or feels frustrated in general, he asks you to read to him. Your voice has a quality that helps him visualise better. If you read any of his recent works, you will find how he writes about prophecies in enchanting voices, sirens calling out to bewitch angels or even a whisper in the dark. Your voice calls out to him in more ways than one.

DIAVOLO

What beautiful voice you possess! After this discovery, he decides to update his schedule to include an hour of you singing human world songs. Daily. What can be better than experiencing human world culture by enjoying the voice of his love?

He is enthusiastic about holding festivals and nudges, almost subtly forces, you to sing in those. After all, the entire Devildom must witness your talents and realise how amazing the various realms are. What potential healthy bonds can hold!

BARBATOS

Your voice reminds him of the soothing aroma of fresh tea. Even though the word ‘cunning’ perfectly suits Barbatos, he feels that you have a better claim to that title. You would speak innocently yet the words would pierce hearts. The moment you open your mouth in Seductive Speechcraft, even the Young Master is charmed.

Barbatos notices and knows that you do not have any ulterior motive but he can’t help but try to be on his guard and... ultimately fails. You are so cunning, aren’t you? Cunning and clueless... The things that you do to those around you and him. Can’t you see?

He has found that your voice helps his spirits to an extent where his efficiency improves too. How can he let you go after that? You will indulge him, won’t you?

[succulentsiren]

When you follow your own path, there’s always going to be people who call you naive, unintelligent or immature since they themselves don’t understand your vision or path. Never let the attempts of doubters deter you from your goals. Stay focused and grounded in your ideas. Sooner than you know, everything you manifested will come into fruition and your success will speak for itself and shut everyone up. The people who were once talking about you, will be asking for your advice and trying to duplicate you.

whenever ppl try to come up with some version of 'romance and love isn't forbidden by the jedi, on this one novel-'

i'm just...

[baejax-the-great]

In the version of Ajax's story that would have been around during Homer's time, Ajax didn't lose the contest for Achilles' arms because he is dimwitted or because Odysseus is clever. Neither of these things had anything to do with it (and I would argue the former isn't true).

Ajax wanted to prove himself. We'll never know exactly what he'd accomplished in his life pre-Iliad because two of the sections where these things would have been laid out, the catalog of ships and Helen's introduction of all the Greek generals to Priam, were in all likelihood tampered with and erased (probably by 5th century BCE Athenians). You ever wonder to yourself why Ajax's section in the catalog of the ships is so short and also contradicts other parts of the Iliad regarding where Ajax's camp/ships are? So have historians. And the Megarans (who took Ajax as a hero of their city), who wrote their own satirical version of his section mocking the one that got canonized in the version of the Iliad we have today. The exact why and how of that erasure is an unknown, but it's a fairly accepted theory (and more supported than my original thought on reading it--wow, did Homer hate Ajax or something?).

Regardless, Homer does mention repeatedly that Ajax is the second best of all the Greeks in the Iliad. He is also, notably, the one main hero who doesn't receive direct help from any of the gods. The closest he gets is Poseidon giving him a burst of energy, but that's about it. Compare to Diomedes who has Athena driving a chariot for him, or Paris who is spirited away in combat before Menelaus can kill him, or Achilles who has Athena tricking Hector and retrieving Achilles' spear for him--Poseidon handing Ajax the equivalent of a Red Bull is pretty paltry. But it's enough, because Ajax can get shit done.

By that same token, Ajax doesn't ask the gods for much. Notably he never prays to Athena, and she never interacts with him at all. Because she hates him.

As the older story goes, Ajax believed that the way to prove himself the best of the warriors was to eschew the help of the gods and show that he could accomplish his great feats alone. In a less sympathetic version of this, his invulnerability makes him cocky enough to believe he doesn't need the gods to prove himself (I actually think both these sentences mean the same thing, but the framing is a bit different--is he saying that the gods' help is beneath him? Or is he desperate to prove himself without getting a leg up from powerful beings?). Athena likes her little toy soldiers, and dislikes being ignored by great warriors who by all accounts should be begging for her favor, so this didn't sit well with her.

In eschewing the gods' help, Ajax does prove himself more capable than the other Greeks. His accomplishments are his alone. Nobody is going to compliment Paris for surviving his duel with Menelaus because they all know a goddess helped him. At various points throughout the Iliad, warriors accuse each other of having the gods helping them (such as when Little Ajax eats shit while racing Odysseus and blames Athena for favoring him), thus cheapening their victories.

Nobody can say this about Ajax. Everything he did, he did himself.

And for his pride, Athena hates him. And because of this, she will deny him the one thing he wanted--recognition of his abilities. When the time comes for the Greeks to give their respect to Ajax as their greatest warrior, something they all know he is, she rigs it so that they don't. Ajax is snubbed. His abilities will go unrecognized.

He goes mad--and we already know he's not the kind of guy who can ask for help--and so he is killed by the only warrior strong enough to defeat him--himself.

[occasionalincorrectquotes]

You guys aren't considering the fact that Kawasemi and that guy Yamane were totally obsessed with each other. If they weren't dating they were at least in a situationship. Kawasemi would rather leave a space empty in his employment than get a new assistant. It's been 150 chapters and he still doesn't have a new assistant. I bet he feels so bad about (indirectly) hurting Yamane's career in crime prevention. I bet that twink man feels SO sad about it and I bet Yamane feels so about doing something so insane under Kawasemi's employment. He fucking cried when he was found out and knew he was gonna get arrested. They are not straight at all.

It's one thing to be a little bit gay then it's another when your near perfect track record for arresting criminals plummets when your "assistant" can't work with you anymore. He stopped eating and sleeping properly just because of him. And then when confronted about this by Ron he says "I'm trying not to put as much pressure onto others as I did with Yamane" like he's soooooo SO hurt about bringing him to the brink of insanity he directed that strictness onto himself. Quite the parallel to Ron directing his Kill on Sight ability inward when he had that medicine. Kawasemi is in his twenties and already has a tragic yaoi to his name.

Omashu deserves so much better than constantly being used as a device for other ships.

Today I got banned from "The Forbidden Trove" literally just for saying this:

To anyone who isn't aware: TFT is a very controversial (as of late) community server for Path of Exile trading and services, to help people find groups, carries and bulk trading services where the game itself lacks in easy access to those services.

However, TFT is literally run by scammers who have been banning people for such petty things as pointing out that one of their top moderators is scamming people during Harvest Gamble services by keeping extra duplicates of cards that they get. Players who don't play will have no idea what that means, but basically it's a scam.

But whether you think TFT are scammers or not, I think it's absolutely hilarious that I was literally banned just for saying I draw furry porn in response to someone saying "You're not ready for my art."

That's it.

That's what I got banned for. It was instant, happened in like 13 seconds. I said the thing, my message disappeared, I went "I'm bein' silenced!" and I was banned.

Now do I care? No. Don't care at all. This has me howling with laughter to be completely honest, and I wear this ban with pride. A bunch of people playing a game (Path of Exile) that has MULTIPLE REFERENCES TO RAPE IN IT AS WELL AS FULL VAGINAL AND PENILE NUDITY IN IT have a rule in their server where saying the word "porn" gets your message censored.

So let it be known I take complete pride in having offended these fucking spineless pussies. May the new trade services implemented in the next league make their discord completely irrelevant.

In the mean time please Join Their Discord, go to the "#poe-chat" channel, and say cringey furry uwu owo speak at them and talk about bulgey wulgeys. Please, I beg of you, do it.

ATTENTION PASSERBY!!

Hiii :D now that I have your attention I would like to share the beginning of something I've been working on for quite a while now!

I'm currently writing a story, and as a form of world building I've been working on this world'(s) sacred animals.

So I would like to introduce the Yölque, they're a species of fish blessed by the goddess of life and fertility: Hàyne.

Here they are!!

MALE FISH:

FEMALE FISH:

As seen above they come in two variations, Orange and blue. The orange fish are found in the northern part of the world whole the blue fish are predominantly found in the southern part. The female fish, a lot like preying mantis' eat the males after they're finished breeding and unlike most fish species they give live birth. These fish are very rare because they are only born in exactly 92° weather and won't breed in captivity. So with temperatures on their home planet rapidly dropping the birth rate is rapidly declining as well.

The fish are kept in large tanks that span across the walls of an entire room (the largest room in the house). Only four fish are kept at a time because the number four is sacred to Hàyne.

HOW THE ROOM IS SET UP:

COMMON OFFERINGS INCLUDE:

Musical string instruments

Freshly picked plants

Moss

Blood soaked tissues

Vines

Olives and rosemary

Handcrafted items

[delusionalwings]

― a/n -> i spend way too long on this but it was fuuuuuun

LUCIFER

It would have amused him had the actors in this ridiculous play been different. But he is neither a fool nor a procrastinator so he accepts the fact readily with his usual calmness. It seems that he is interested in you, a mere human, but also Lord Diavolo’s choice for the exchange programme. He needs to play his next move cautiously.

When you become entangled with a nasty rumour, you approach Lucifer. Since the start, he has been the one to provide assistance to you unbidden so he seemed like the best choice. After getting his advice, you ponder the best course of action and carry out the execution. He watches you closely with amusement.

Diavolo praises the way you handle the situation. Lucifer announces indignantly that if anybody messes with you, he will deal with them personally. Everybody believes that you share a special bond with Lucifer because of the additional edge to his speech, the glare and the sadistic promise of pain in his smirk.

It is like Lucifer to kill several birds with one bullet. Now he knows that you are worthy of his thoughts, given your intelligent reaction. You must think a little better of him owing to his help. The others will leave you alone. And he has an excuse to stay closer to you for at least a fortnight. He will stick close and keep testing your competence. It’s no joke that the Avatar of Pride has taken a fancy to you, more so when he expected to never feel this way for anyone.

 MAMMON

He knows quite well that his greed is not restricted to materialistic items only. So when he starts obsessing over you, he freaks out dramatically, gambles all his money away, gets beaten up by moneylenders because of his carelessness and when you patch him up and smile, he finally accepts that the human ain’t too bad. Given the bad treatment he had been subjected to, he wasn't expecting to fall in love but then you came along and now you are all that goes through his mind.

He is very non judgmental so he doesn't care that you are a human. However, he thinks that associating with a demon may get you enemies. He tries to distance himself in the beginning but being someone who has difficulty denying his urges, he ends up giving you the special treatment. From the dark. 

He thinks of the best gift ideas and executes them flawlessly without revealing his identity. Good fortune seems to follow you these days. The only reason for suspicion is his behavior. He goes overboard with the tsundere act, so that now it feels stifling and hurtful. Every time you get a present from this “secret admirer”, you notice how he acts more supreme and offensive with the “I am the Great Mammon and you are only a puny human”. His bullying reaches an all time high, cutting you deep and scarring you, as the pace of the gifts catch up like a rope tightening around your throat. 

LEVIATHAN 

Eh? EHH?? No no, this can’t be happening! What is this era of cringe where he feels obsessed with a 3D character?! You must be an anomaly in the system! How can you just come along so casually and shatter his hope of staying single forever? He was quite content with his waifus and husbandos! They don’t expect anything in return and he knew that it was impossible for him to end with them! Life was simple! Oh now he is overthinking and gulping down energy drinks and dreaming about how wonderful you are!

He isn’t really bothered about the mortal part since he has watched enough anime to know that demons fall for humans all the time!  Key information about upcoming cosplay conventions keeps slipping from his mind like his sanity! It is the end of Leviachan, OMG he needs to worship the anime gods for mercy. 

Now instead of bingeing his favourite anime, he is watching you sleep at 3 in the morning through the cameras he installed in your room without your permission. He can't forgive you. Before your arrival, he was a dedicated albeit a gross, yucky otaku but now he is a normie who is thinking about puke-inducing lovey-dovey stuff like holding hands and going on a date! What a downfall for the Lord of Shadows! You must take responsibility and help him get his passion back. He can’t lose the Levi that has lived till now just because of you. He must have you right in front of his eyes so that he can go back to focusing on anime rather than watching your every move. You make him so unhappy by talking to those other demons. He can’t even sleep at night. You are terrible, you know that? Stay close and he won’t hold a grudge. He will be sweet like all those normies in love with fake promises at the tip of their tongues.
