#Adhara’s brainrot

About pacts

The game is kinda ABOUT the pacts, but somehow I feel like the concept is not fleshed out enough in canon. So I’m fixing that! I am making them so fluffy, I am developing them into the magic QPR bond of my dreams lol

(Brief mentions of blood and sex under the cut, be warned)

Ok so. In the game, the pacts have four key functions: 1, allows the human to give the demon binding orders. 2, gives the human a way to amplify the demon’s abilities and strengths. 3, implied, gives the demon a way to do the same thing for the human, to lend them their own strength. 4, allows the human to summon the demon basically for free. Have him on speed dial, I suppose. Summon with no ritual, no spell components, no nothing except an incantation.

That’s cool, I like that. But like,, iirc the game says nothing of the mechanics of this, or how the pacts feel!

I think pacts should be a mildly psychic connection. Nothing like what Beel and Belphie have going on, and no actual ability to put words telepathically in your demon’s head (and vice versa), but like… an Awareness of each other, muted and vague when you’re not actively reaching out through the pact, but just enough that like,, you can feel them vaguely in the back of your mind. You know they’re alive, and you can mentally reach for them if you want to.

When you ARE using the pact, it doesn’t HAVE to be for one of the aforementioned four functions. It can also be… just a mild mental ping, like tugging on a string or tapping them lightly to get their attention. When they reach back, the bond opens up a little bit more, to allow the passage of emotions, flashes of memories, even awareness of about how far you are from each other and what direction you’re in. All entirely voluntary, no invasive mind-reading, but you can mentally share what you want with each other.

I feel like the pacts don’t have to imply romance. But, they DO imply partnership—not necessarily exclusive partnership, in fact probably it isn’t an exclusive sort of thing by default. Plenty of demons have multiple humans, and plenty of humans have multiple demons. The sort of partnership that doesn’t really have a standard box to fit into by average human reckoning. Queerplatonic partnership. Close, emotionally intimate, committed, devoted. But not necessarily having anything to do with attraction, romance, any of that.

These pacts can be purposely strengthened, to make communicating with each other like this easier. Strengthening the signal, if you will.

The key to that is two things: emotional intimacy/trust, and sharing vitality (or however you wanna phrase it. Vitality, life, essence, soul, etc. I mean this to encompass a few different things, and none of those words is a perfect fit for all of them. Let’s say there’s an untranslatable word in infernal that fits perfectly). Specifically, the human and the demon make mental contact through the pact with the intent to strengthen the bond, then do whichever of the sharing vitality/essence/life/soul things that they feel like doing.

For example:

Kissing. An emotionally intimate thing to do that involves sharing fluid. DNA counts as essence, and this is a way of combining it. A textbook, effective way to reinforce a close bond. Doesn’t even strictly have to be romantic! It CAN be for sure, and usually is, but like… you can also kiss the homies out of platonic affection if you want to. Especially if the homies in question are demons in a pact with you. This is normal and chill to them.

Also, simply sharing the same air! Pressing foreheads together (think keldabe kiss minus the helmets), noses touching (i think this is called kunik). Sharing breath. This absolutely counts as sharing vitality. Also, afaik this is a thing people would only have the instinct to do with someone they really love. It’s such a soft, peaceful thing that doesn’t make sense in any other context but trust and devotion and emotional intimacy. Super good way of reinforcing a close bond!

Obviously sex works for this too. Obviously. It ticks all the boxes: reinforces a close bond, combining vitality/essence, can be very emotionally intimate. Probably the most textbook option.

In the other direction, possibly not quite as expected but totally works if you think about it: bloodshed. I’m sure it’s common enough in the ritually combining blood sort of way, but also… think about fighting at your pacted demon’s side, or getting wounded and then being rescued (seems more likely, especially in part 1), and both of you bleeding. Physically supporting each other, spilling your vitality onto each other, each wiping blood off of the other and patching each other up in the aftermath of an altercation. Really, you can’t get more devoted and trusting than that.

Food, as well. Taking a bite of something, then feeding a bite to your pact partner. Your food is the source of your vitality, in a similar way to breath. It’s your life. Sharing food with this intent absolutely works. It works even better if it’s food you made, and/or familiar food that you love in such a way that it’s part of your identity. That way, it works twofold. The physical effect of metabolizing the food is your vitality, and the identity aspect—feeding a loved one something that resonates with who you are—is sharing your essence/soul.

This one’s a bit of a reach, but I think it still works—tears. Experiencing something that makes both pact partners cry, be it a sad story, an emotional conversation, painful events, etc. Supporting each other through that, feeling compassion for each other, comforting each other. There’s no shortage of intimacy, devotion, and trust in this. On both an emotional and physical level, this counts as sharing soul/essence/life.

Sharing soul/vitality/essence/life (whatever the fitting word for this in infernal would be) on purpose like this would absolutely bring pacted partners closer together. Strengthens the bond between them, helps them understand each other, reinforces the love. Strengthen a pact enough and eventually you won’t even need the incantation to summon that demon.

(I am planning to put this in my rewrite of obey me season 1 with my own MC, of course. Once I progress enough to start posting it, that is lol)

(but also, maybe, if I find the inspiration, I might write gn reader!MC oneshots with these concepts. Pls let me know if you think I should try! Also, anyone is more than welcome to use this for your own writing if you want)

EDIT: I wrote a oneshot! The time when my MC found out that strengthening pacts is a thing, with Beel and Mammon. Here it is!

Miss Star

It has been a while since I last visited your asks and bothered you with my brainrots and rambles

But first of all

DAMN THAT PAINTING YOU DID OF HALSIN WITH THE SUNBURN

*Chefs kiss*

Love that

delicious

perfect

and the COMIC that man is SMITTEN

he will be HAUNTED by the image of adhara with how ever so gently she bent over and the light as it dances lightly around her and her scales with the slightly hooded eyes

Our poor ex archdruid his control and patients is being tested on the daily

I WILL comeback on that discord friends invite I have not forgotten about that

would love to talk about the bois

BUT FIRST let's talk about the bois here, especially our druid, our bear

this overly protective silly man

The possibilities for angst ARE JUST ENDLESS with the drows the fear of loss the guilt of "it should have been me" a slight touch to ease a racing heart just for that same touch to be the source of a new beat of his heart within his chest this time with less guilt

But maybe just a bit more fear for the possibility of loss for someone and something that he slowly starts to treasure

But no he can not indulge he has his duty his Debt to pay to the past mistakes will he think himself not worthy oh her reassuring voice, her gentl touch and does DAMN LIPS THAT LOOK EVER SO SOFT AND INVITING

I will keep it short for now Less I lose myself in my rambles

we NEED TO TALK ABOUT PETNAMES and the way that he his ever so proud of his muscles but that's for another brainrot

Especially since I saw someone being sad over the fact that we didn't get to have a ballroom/masquerade quest with dancing in the game

CAN YOU IMAGINE HALSIN AT A BALL

but again that's for another time

For now I shall bit you farewell you talented artist of ours

Until the next brainrot

-🦊

I FEEL LIKE IM BEING SERENADED TOO BY A SECRET LOVER COME BACK TO ME FOX!!!!!

hey, I have gotten a few new followers lately so hi, I am Adh/Adhara (she/her).

I tend to post mostly digital and traditional fanart at the moment, and am currently experiencing some Baldur's Gate 3 brainrot but since I am trying to practice a bit every day I will often draw whatever catches my eye. this blog is a bit all over the place thematically.

my Tav is called Awbonee, you can find some background here. every Astarion is spawn!Astarion unless otherwise specified

🔞 art will be cropped and noted as such, full versions are hosted elsewhere, please do not click if you are a minor. if you would like to avoid these type of posts altogether, you can mute the tag "#link goes places"

(otoh if you want to get those type of posts straight from the source they are here (bluesky) or here (twitter) )

thanks so much for your likes/reblogs/follows, they really make my day

[enchanted-lightning-aes]

same, i have only been playing some games without good wifi available. and it's good to hear you writing despite the struggles. sending good ~~vibes~~ for the inspo to be there in any dozss there is. :3

i have seen the make-overs and i gotta say i am just so 🤩🤩🤩 for them. i'm happy you manage to find/imagine adhara and jax's true selves! that's one heck of a feat. 😌

rn, i'm just adjusting in my current situation. things happened and too much walking, going outside sorta got involved, lmao.

i'm still writing and i finished two fics i've wanted to write. and i'm trying to continue watching leverage, which has a stranglehold on me, lmao. 😂 never thought i'd like it as much as i do! bc now i have so much alec hardison brainrot that it's bleeding into DC AUs. 🤧

I might respond to this later, so, hey, nia!! i miss you a lot!! and i hope to catch up with your posts (once i get stable wifi), so how have you been?? and how are things for ya!!?? :3 - 🔮⛈️

Hi Enchant!!! I'm doing well! Just kinda been enjoying my summer! Playing Sims, skyrim, cuphead, etc. I've also been writing more! I've been trying to write a little everyday, and been getting better at not berating myself for only writing a few words or sentences.

I also gave Jax a big makeover today, that was fun! Messing around with piccrews and finding new ones is always delightful

I hope you get better wifi soon! I miss you as well, i really miss seeing your posts on my dashboard 😭

How are you doing (other than the crappy wifi)? What have you been up to?

Human video games

Do you think the demons would be offended by the way demons are portrayed in human world video games? And I don’t just mean like,, the games in which their names are used.

I mean like, demons as a shorthand for big powerful scary mf who is trying to break the world for no discernible reason

Like,, for example in Zelda games, Ganon is titled demon king not because he’s really a demon, but because he’s way too strong and wants to destroy the world with no end goal

Idk, do yall think that’d be a culture shock for them? Would Levi be offended, I think is what I’m getting at? Or would he find it funny, or not care?

Not sure, but either way I think it’d be entertaining

[smoft-demons]

Maybe Beel is scared of spiders

I mean. He’s a fly

Mostly I’m thinking of it because like,, big strong tank scared of small harmless thing is always a quality concept—and so is powerful giant mf who could destroy the scariest enemies being fully unable to even look at a creepy bug—and they’re especially good in Beel’s case because iirc he’s got some weirdass fears (thinking of the thing with him getting freaked out about one of Lucifer’s records, i forget where in the games it shows up) and also he’s bodyguard! He’s protector! He fights shit for his brothers all the time! He tanks for them because he loves them!! They love him back so like. Let him need protecting too sometimes, just a little bit, yknow?

I’m imagining,, Beel prob is always defending Belphie from danger and scary shit in combat, killing and otherwise removing threats for him and all, but then,, just at home, no combat scenario happening, there’s a spider and Beel is scared so now there’s role reversal. Belphie has to protect Beel for once. This is the only scenario where Belphie is the one killing/removing scary shit for Beel

Idk, I think it’s a good concept! Beel should be scared of spiders

Intro+rules stuff

Hello! I’m Adhara. I like Obey Me! I’m familiar with the OG game, but not nightbringer. Trying to get back into writing. I’m working on a rewrite fic on ao3 with my own MC (Auva) and I also have a BUNCH of worldbuilding/concept notes. The purpose of this blog is half to practice and interact, and half to infodump about my MC and her version of the story because that’s fun.

I’m most comfortable with writing the seven brothers. Much less so for the undateables, and I have absolutely no familiarity with the new three. For now I’m only willing to write stuff focused on the bros.

Here’s my masterlist

Requests open! Use the ask box. It’ll be labeled “request box” when requests are open. It’ll be labelled “ask me anything” when they’re not open.

Don’t be afraid to get too detailed (more detail is better!). Be patient and polite. I reserve the right to not write something I don’t want to. I will default to a gn MC for these things, but I could write a fem MC too. Sorry, no male MC, because… I’m not one.

Request format, in case that helps (I find it does, requesting can be nerve-wracking. I personally always freak out about formatting, so. If it helps you, please use it)

[insert greeting/pleasantry here], I have a request for [insert name of brother(s)/all seven].

[insert idea here]

[insert relevant details about MC here, like pronouns and relationship to relevant characters]

Feel free to talk to me about your own MCs too! Or just in general! I’d be very happy to brainrot together :]

I WILL write:

Headcanons, oneshots, reactions, scenarios, concept brainrot, character analysis

Fluff! Hurt/comfort! Angst! Slice of life! Found family!

Platonic relationships, queerplatonic relationships… I can TRY writing romantic relationships. I will always default to platonic, QPR, or familial dynamics.

I will NOT write:

Smut/NSFW

Pedo shit (obviously)

Demoncest

Will add more shit I won’t write as I come across it I guess

Hello once more our dear talented artist of ours

I've just been reminded of the last Raphael artwork you've posted and MISS STAR

BEAUTIFUL

the TENSION one must love a hood fight where at the end the two of them don't know if they wanna truly kill or ravish one another

Now since I don't have much time for a true spiral of brainrot BUT and hear me out on this

Raphael and adhara

Phantom of the opera

CAN YOU IMAGINE

on another note did I ever send you that brainrot of our Boi halsin with the petnames because it's in my notes but I don't remember sending it

Anyway that was it from me today and I once more must bit you farewell

-🦊

hAH!!! I never got into phantom of the opera sadly but beauty and the beast tho 8^) YAS!!!!!! And no, halsin petnames is a nEED!!!!!

[starrforge]

Miss if its validation you seek its validation that I will GLADLY deliver for your beautiful art that you serve to us

MISS STAR

You got me giggling and kicking my feet

Especially when it comes to halsin that man the way that you draw him with one moment you draw him with the most gentle sets of eyes as he's looking at adhara like she is the most precious being nature has granted him to meet

And he just quietly enjoys the silent moments with her and then the next moment LIKE

*snaps my nonexistent fingers *

YOU DRAW HIM WITH THE MOST YEARNING AND FERAL OF EYES that man is SMITTEN and THIS CLOSE to his breaking point but he would NEVER

those gentle eyes how precious he holds her THATS what's keeping him in check without her DIRECTLY saying yes he would never and I believe that's a kind of edge he equally enjoys and what's destroying him

SPEAKING OF HOLDING lets continue this rabbit hole of a brainrot we. Are. On. A. ROLL.

THOSE ARMS OF HIS THAT YOU DRAW with the BEEF oof

Where is my equally nonexistent fan to fan myself and fake pearls to clutch at

He is PROUD of those muscles not to mean that he is intimidating ABSOLUTELY not no no no he trys not to ever so aware of his height and presence but that doesn't mean he can't be proud of his muscle and strength ESPACIALLY in the service of helping those in need of them or just to generally show them of

What I would give to have seen the arm wrestling match between him and minsc you just know that he suggested it with a calm voice and a glint of mischief in his eyes and then when he WINS WE NEED SMUG HALSIN with a playful smile

how do you think he would react after the match when he realizes the look on tav's face what face would adhara make

So many questions

You should treat yourself  make yourself something nice and warm to drink some sweets or snacks of your choosing and just enjoy an evening where you make some arm and hand drawing studies of halsin

do you know that dracy hand flex thing

THAT just that with halsin as adhara ever so slightly and soft touches his arms in admiration

We need to see him flex more

definitely

we MUST

in the morning as he woke up and stretches and flexes his muscles

WICH REMINDS ME ON THAT PAINTING YOU MADE WITH THE FANGS

miss Star I give you my thanks YES WE NEED MORE HALSIN WITH FANGS

I REALLY wanna ramble on, but sadly, time is short with me. I got to go once more

Thank you for taking joy in my brainrots and rambles, for they tend to go into a ever so endless spiral

Once more I bit you fare well and if you will so have me I wish to soon return with new rambles and brainrots containing a ball and some pet names our bois might like to use

-🦊

God fox thank you for blessing me again with your visit,
