so new york clinches first draft pick, and with their play, minnesota [which has not won a game since the international break] should be concerned.
#HOWEVER not to say that the world or league revolves around pwhl montreal#but if montreal wins it will clinch for both ottawa and Minnesota#minnesota has 2 opportunities to clinch on their own but the only way ottawa can do it on their own is against tor#which is after the boston montreal game#and if things come down to tiebreakers with Minnesota montreal has forced the most shootouts in the league#which denies teams overtime wins#overtime wins excluding shootout wins of course are the second tie breaker#pwhl lb

Negro League Baseball Museum, "Barrier Breakers" at 118 Boylston St, Boston, through August 4, 2023
Negro League baseball has been an interest of mine for over 50 years. Robert Peterson’s ONLY THE BALL WAS WHITE captured the attention of this 12 year old Mets fan upon its publication in 1970. The Carrie Palmer Weber Junior High of Port Washington N.Y’s librarian Ms. Futter always had a smile upon seeing me take out ONLY THE BALL WAS WHITE for perhaps the 4th. time. As my youth coincided with…

Christmas Festivities m.s.
Bf!Matt x Gf!Fem!Reader
If you don't like the preadded name in my stories, you can either add your own name or not read it; it's up to you-Charli
Dividers: @bernardsbendystraws
Winter was always you and matt’s second favorite season next to fall, mainly because Christmas is in the winter time. You and him have made a tradition of planning 25 days of Christmas festivities that you two wanted to do together leading up to Christmas together.
It could be in LA or Boston or even as far as being outside or inside the house if it was too cold for you two.
Which brings you to now, day 10 of your 25 day Christmas festivities which just so happen to be something you and matt quite enjoyed doing together, ice skating.
"Matt no im going to fall'
you squeal keeping a tight grip on his hand as he begin to skate away from you.
'baby you should know how to do this we have been doing this for a few years now'
matt chuckles as you as he looks back at you trying not to fall face first on the ice.
' no no no you cant talk okay ice skating is in your blood you literally did hockey for fucksake'
you whine out.
' okay thats fair'
he chuckles out pulling on your arm to get you up to where he was so you are right beside him as you let out a squeal from the action as you grip onto his forearm tightly giggling.
'i got you princess i got you'
he chuckles out replying to your action as he places his hand ontop of yours.
' you got the popcorn babygirl'
matt asks you admiring your present as you and him are dressed in your matching Christmas pj pants marking day 19 of your 25 days of festivities leading up to christmas
"yeah you ready to watch wait what are we watching'
you respond and question him as you sit down next to him on the couch with the bowl of popcorn.
"um we could watch elf'
matt suggests looking at you and digging his hand in the bowl of popcorn placed on your lap, hoping you agree with him.
"the grinch"
you exclaim your eyes lighting up as you look at him.
"what no i love you but lets watch elf baby'
he sighs out looking at you placing his hand on your thigh as you let a pouting expression display on your face.
"babyy no"
you whine out dragging the 'y' and the 'o' in your response to your boyfriend.
"rock, paper, sisscors"
you suggest determined to win because you want to watch the grinch, setting the bowl of popcorn on the coffee table in front of you two.
"seriously"
matt chuckles out looking at you next him as you have shifted your whole body towards him with your hands ready to play.
"yes matt right now what scared you are going to lose"
you joke giggling as he rolls his eyes and shifts his body to face you.
You begin playing the first round of rock paper sisscors, you winning the first round playing down paper and him playing rock. little did you know matt had a little trick up his sleeve.
"last round nervous"
you chuckle pushing some of his hair out of your face.
"nah"
matt cockily states as you two began to play the last round which was the tie breaker. Matt when you weren't paying too much attention seeing you were mainly focusing on what move you were going to play rather than think about what he was going to play, he quickly swap his hand from paper to sisscors once he saw you playing paper.
"WHAT"
you gasp out look at matt seeing and realizing what he did.
"elf it is"
matt chuckles.
"you can't do that you cheated"
you state pouting as he looks at you chuckling wrapping his arms around your torso still in complete shock.
"matt no i really wanted to watch the grinch I won seriously"
you giggle along with him wrapping your arms around his leaning in figure seeing his arms were still around your torso.
"okay okay fine because i love you we will watch the grinch'
matt sighs out giving in sitting up and placing a kiss on your forehead.
"dude stop thats not what we need arent we making cookies"
matt groans out leaning against the shopping cart, as you and him are at Target getting some quick ingredients for the cookies you two were going to make at your house making it day 22 of your Christmas festivities and unbeknownst to you Matt wanted to mess with you a little to see if you noticed the name change.
"did you just call me dude im not dude"
you turn around pouting and shifting your focus completely away from the item you were looking at kind of offended and hurt that your boyfriend didn't call you 'princess' or 'babygirl' like he always does.
"bro do you really need a rug that says 'merry christmas' on it"
he questions you as he walks over looking at the rug you were holding in your hands, matt slightly noticing the matching chrome silver nails you and him got yesterday as they shimmered in the warm lighting in the store. Although you couldn't even focus on the question matt asked you still hurt that he had yet to call you what you know he always calls you.
"what"
matt questions as you are just staring at him with a confused and hurt emotion clearly visible across you face.
"matt seriously im not a bro or dude"
you whine out slightly tugging the rug out of his shared grasp and setting it back where you picked it up from on the shelf and beginning to walk into the next aisle being the candles and quite frankly you needed a new one so this was a necessary and valid purchase if you got one.
"dude are you done yet smelling candles"
matt ask you again as you slowly turn to him setting the candle down tucking some hair behind you ear.
"yeah i think i want this one"
you softly reply hurt evident in your voice.
"bro this are really good lets get these"
matt suggest holding up the chocolate chip cookie bag as you two moved into the premade cookie aisle.
"did i do something wrong"
you pout out starting to looked down and pick at your nails feeling like tears were going to start spilling out at any second.
"no what why would you ask that"
matt slightly chuckles as he can see his childish antics are starting to get to you.
"you keep calling me bro and dude"
you huff out dropping your arms at your sides defeated.
"you dont like when i call you that"
matt jokes putting the cookie dough in the cart.
"no matt i dont im your girlfriend"
you whine out.
"well what do you want me to call you then"
matt asks continuing to joke around.
"nevermind"
you pout out turning on your heels walking away from him to the check out area.
"babe babe wait"
he exclaims out running up to catching you by your hips pulling you into him as he nuzzles his face in your neck from behind you.
"i was just messing with youuu"
matt chuckles out dragging out the 'u'
"youre fucking stupid"
you groan out trying to get out of his tight grip.
"what you didnt like that dude"
matt jokes again.
"Stopp"
you whine dragging 'p'
"no not at all i actually thought I did something wrong because you always call me-"
you pout as you turn around to face him as he releases his grip on your hips.
"princess or my babygirl"
he replies.
"yeah"
you softly reply.
"im sorry just messing with you my love"
he reiterates leaving a kiss on your forehead.
You guys have now made it to day 24 which was Christmas eve and you Matt and his brothers and their partners decided to walk and look at the Christmas lights.
You knew Chris' girlfriend extremely well just because she is your best friend you laugh every time as you see how happy she is with Chris considering she was in complete denial about even liking him in the first place.
"would you guys pick up the pace losers"
chris exclaims to nick and his boyfriend as his girlfriend and you and matt laugh at his antics.
"shut the fuck up chris we will get there when we get there"
nick rolls his eyes replying to the youngest.
" I feel like you and matt have been MIA all holiday season"
chris' girlfriend giggles as chris wraps his arms around her shoulder as you all walk side by side on the sidewalk.
"thats so not true we just have been doing our own thing"
you giggle out as matt nuzzles his cold nose on your face.
"what so fucking every chance you guys get"
chris snorts as his girlfriend smacks in the stomach.
"seriously dude fuck off no"
matt rolls his eyes replying to his brother.
" i mean we did that too but- oh my goodness look at that"
You exclaim cutting off your own sentence gazing at the lights.
Now it is Day 25, Christmas Day and you and Matt are now exchanging Christmas gifts with each other like you do every year at your place.
"i got this for you"
you smile softly turning to face your boyfriend criss cross on the couch you two were sitting on as he does the same as you hand he the present wrapped in blue and silver stripped wrapping paper.
" what is it"
he chuckles taking the present from your hands.
"open it"
you giggle as he begins to unwrap it, revealing a silver chain with a horse shaped pendant attached to it.
“Wait what the fuck baby this is sick”
He exclaims holding up the chain.
“You like it”
You question giggling as he sets it back in the box leaning over and placing a kiss on you supple lips.
“I love it”
He replies as he stands up to grab the gift he had for you.
“Okay your turn close your eyes”
He chuckles as he hides the box with the bow on top behind his back.
“Oookayyy”
You question covering your eyes with your hands. Matt carefully kneels down on one leg opening the box up to reveal this diamond ring.
“Okay you can open now”
Matt softly states as you begin to uncover your hands from your eyes immediately gasping.
“You’re joking’
You whine out as you notice the diamond ring in front of you.
“Matt”
you begin to cry out reaching out and caressing his cheeks.
“Baby from the moment I met you in preschool I knew you were the one for me and spending these last years being your boyfriend it just confirmed that I do want to spend the rest of my life with you and I couldn't see myself doing life with anyone else; will you marry me"
matt gleams as he asks the long awaited question.
"yes matthew i will marry you"
you sniffle leaning you forehead on his after he slips the ring on your fingers.
"you made me cry matt on christmas"
you giggle out wiping away your stray tears as matt sit back on the couch next to you.
"im sorry wifey"
he chuckles as you quickly look at him acknowledging the new nickname he gave you smiling at him leaning in to connect your guys' lips.

So Mew is officially in his Reputation era. And the aesthetics that he chose for the transformation was fascinating to me and @lurkingshan. Mew was, in his own words, setting out to be "as nasty as the nasty ones". And then went ahead and completely modelled his appearance after Ray.
So does he think Ray is one of the "nasty" ones? Well, turns out, not quite. We see him trying to look confident with his fake hookup with Guy, but he fails. He's nervous, and it shows. He also tells Boston later in the episode that he "doesn't have to be as filthy as him".
So while he's not trying to be "nasty" or "filthy", he IS trying to be a transgressor. A rule-breaker. And he’s trying to emulate some of that chaotic energy Ray is always exuding without sinking all the way to Boston’s level. He wants to step out of line, but he still wants to stand within the moral boundary enough to claim superiority, as we see him do at Boston's house.
Which explains why Mew thinks Ray is not "right" for him, even if he’s willing to give him a chance to soothe his ego after Top’s cheating.
And when the time comes, it'll be oh-so-easy for Top to convince Mew that Ray is not "good" for him.
#mew served us some delicious hypocrisy this week#he's gonna mess with ray and dump him in a flash#only friends the series#ofts#only friends#only friends meta#ofts meta#sandray#topmew#bostonnick#book kasidet#khaotung thanawat#ephemerality squad

circuit breaker.
The first thing about the time loop is that it isn’t about you. It’s about Vic because everything is. She’s one of those people who’s an axis on which the world turns. Things don’t happen to her. She makes things happen.
You don’t know what makes this happen, but it must be her.
For you, it’s Tuesday. It’s a microwave dinner and a glass of box wine waiting at home. For Vic, it’s also Tuesday, but it’s been Tuesday a long time. She tells you as much when you find her on your porch.
“What are you doing here?” you ask. You can’t remember the last time you saw her. She went someplace they make movies about: London, New York, Tokyo. It didn’t seem relevant. It was away from you. That was all that mattered.
“I don’t know how to save you.” Her cheeks are windblown and her eyes and nose are puffy and her hands are free of jewelry.
“From a Boston Market Salisbury steak?” you snort. “Many have tried. You, too, shall fail.” Jokes are easier than the void in your gut, the thousand lines you rehearsed in case you ever saw her again dying on your tongue. But Vic shakes her head. She wants to do this hard. She always does. Some things never change.
“I’ve watched you die over and over and over again,” she says. “And I don’t know how to save you.”
You want to slam the door in her face. You ask, “Do you want to come inside?” instead, hitching your groceries on your hip and holding out a hand to her.
Vic’s lips part. Your heart stops. The reusable grocery bag spills down your front steps.
You only remember the time loop at the end. In the moments it takes for your body to go limp, you remember your death a dozen times. Your heart stops in each instance, and Vic is always there, but the circumstances are different. You live a little longer, sometimes, but when you pick up the phone on the bus even though it’s her calling and you breathe Vic’s name, your heart stops. She finds you in the freezer aisle, once, weighing your options even as your hand lingers on a Boston Market Salisbury steak, and when you hug her, your heart stops. The loop after that, she’s already on your doorstep when you get home, and when you help her to her feet, your heart stops.
And every time, Vic says, “I don’t know how to save you.”
And your heart stops.
And your heart stops.
And your heart stops.
But what does it matter? It stopped the moment she left town anyway because she was everywhere and simultaneously out of your reach. Vic’s depiction of her childhood dog, sloppy lines and worse colors, brought into this universe at a paint and sip party, hangs in your kitchen, and there’s a chip in your countertop from the time she made breakfast and didn’t bother putting a hot pad down under a pan sizzling with bacon.
On your finger, there’s a plastic ring. The daffodil on it used to be yellow, but the paint’s long worn away. You’ve had it as long as you can remember, but Vic lost its sister long ago.
For you, it’s Tuesday. It’s a microwave dinner and a glass of box wine waiting at home.
“What are you doing here?” you ask. You can’t remember the last time you saw her. She went someplace they make movies about: London, New York, Tokyo. It didn’t seem relevant. It was away from you. That was all that mattered.
“I don’t know how to save you.” Her cheeks are windblown and her eyes and nose are puffy and her hands are free of jewelry.
The Boston Market Salisbury steak is thawing in your bag, and you’ve missed Vic for as long as you’ve been alive. You haven’t seen her since she left and the ring on your finger squeezes like a vise. You want to invite her in; you want to say her name; you want to wrap her in your arms and never let go.
When you fling the ring in Vic’s direction, it hits her squarely on the forehead.
The first thing about life after the time loop is that a ring is also a circle.
And it’s about Vic. Everything is. Even when it isn’t.

Everyone’s gone UFO crazy. Maybe The X-Files should come back
Chrissy Iley
MARCH 2, 2024
Starring in a poignant new film adapted from his own novel, David Duchovny reveals the heartache of almost losing his daughter... and why his most famous show could yet return
No wonder David Duchovny has written, directed and stars in his latest movie Bucky F***ing Dent... it’s based on his own bestselling 2016 novel of the same name. Poignant and funny, it examines a father-son relationship via baseball, with X-Files star David playing Marty the dad, who’s dying of lung cancer, and Logan Marshall-Green from Spider-Man: Homecoming as his estranged son Ted.
The real Bucky Dent went down in history for scoring an unlikely home run for the New York Yankees in a 1978 tie-breaker against arch rivals the Boston Red Sox, and the film’s title is how generations of Boston fans have referred to him ever since, a metaphor for heartbreak. Set in that same year, the film follows struggling writer Ted as he moves back into his childhood home when he hears his father is dying, prompting a whirlwind of dark revelations from the past. Meanwhile, Boston fan Marty’s health dips whenever his beloved Red Sox lose, so New York fan Ted orchestrates the illusion of a Boston winning streak...
Marty has transferred his feelings for an old flame (the secret love of his life, not his wife) to the Red Sox. ‘The intensity of fandom has always puzzled me,’ says David. ‘It has to be a kind of sublimation. My father and I liked playing baseball; my best childhood memory is playing it with him and enjoying the simple communication you can have through a game, but we didn’t share the fandom thing.
‘Marty’s transposed his feelings for this woman to the Red Sox, and the movie is really about the idea of losing. In America there’s a sick addiction to winning and winners, but most of us have to lose every day. Suffering makes us human - it unites us all.’
There’s a moment in the film when Marty is talking about a chest infection that almost killed Ted as a child. Marty says he begged God or whoever to take his lungs instead and let Ted live. ‘One thing I’ve never told anyone is that when my daughter was nine months old she got really ill,’ reveals David. ‘Her mother [actress Tea Leoni] and I had to face the fact we might lose her and I remember feeling so devastated, I didn’t think I could love anything again if she died.’
His daughter West, now 24, has since become a successful actress who seems to have inherited her mother’s stunning blonde looks and her father’s charisma. ‘I think she has a greater passion for acting than either of her parents ever did,’ he says. They also have a son Kyd, 21, and David says the hardest moment of his life was telling them he and Tea were divorcing ten years ago, as his own parents had done when he was 12. ‘It was far worse telling them than actually experiencing it. When you’re a child you just try to get through it, you don’t feel responsible. As a parent I felt at least 50 per cent responsible.’
Tall and thin with good skin and an easy charm, David seems untouched by the ageing process, although this role is a huge shift from the Lotharios he usually plays, such as bed-hopping writer Hank in comedy-drama series Californication. Does getting older bother him? ‘Of course, and as an actor you have to think of the different roles you’ll be offered. When I was writing this script I was thinking I’d play Ted, the son. We tried to make it four or five years ago and I was still going to play Ted, but then when it came to doing it I realised it just wouldn’t work, so I thought I’d play Marty. And that was exciting because it was very different.’
Californication won two Emmys and a Golden Globe, but was notorious for its portrayal of LA’s seedier side. Does he think it could be made now? ‘Certainly they would insist on intimacy coaches, but I don’t think it would be made now, for the wrong reasons. There was a misunderstanding about what it was about. It was meant to be funny, and it was meant to be about family and love. But what everybody got excited about was not that,’ he says, referring to the furore over the sex scenes. ‘In my mind the show was misperceived.’
Another of David’s roles that would spark a row today was a transgender FBI agent in Twin Peaks in the early 90s, when almost no transgender women were on TV. Again it was groundbreaking. ‘But if you’re playing a murderer no one asks you, “Have you murdered people?”’ he says. ‘It was just being an actor.’
David is, of course, best known for The X-Files, in which he played UFO-obsessed FBI agent Mulder opposite Gillian Anderson’s sceptical Scully. The series finally bowed out in 2018 after 11 series, but could there ever be another? ‘Maybe - it might even be more current now,’ he says, referring to the recent release of top-secret UFO files in the US. ‘I’m not personally interested in UFOs so it doesn’t make it more exciting for me to revisit The X-Files. It was a role I played but I wasn’t passionate about the subject. Maybe I’m the only one who isn’t.’
There was a brouhaha at the time about the huge pay discrepancy between David and Gillian, and I wonder if it would be difficult for him to work with her again. ‘As far as I know, by the end there was no difference at all between us, but Hollywood salaries are very weird,’ he says. ‘I’m going to London soon and I’ll see Gillian because she lives there now. I saw her in the West End doing All About Eve and I enjoyed it. She wished me luck with Bucky too.’
In recent years David has explored his passion for music, releasing a couple of folk-rock albums. So does he see himself as an actor, a director or a musician? ‘All of them, I’m an artist,’ he says. ‘I can filter stuff through a song, a novel, a performance or through directing. There are all kinds of ways of being an artist. I write best about dramatic things. There’s a way to deal with suffering to create art.’

once again pwhl new york drops positions in the standings because they have fewer regulation wins than the other team [in this instance ottawa]
#if there's one thing i'm going to know it's tie breakers#that's the theme of tonight#because really there are no ties#this happened before with boston i believe#pwhl#ny and ottawa have 16 points apiece#montreal [top of the table] has 24 a difference of less than 3 regulation wins#that being said most teams have only 11 games remaining#minnesota has 10 and boston has 12#thrilled about the 5 game semi final playoff series though

Helluva Wonderland AU: Hellborn/Fallen Angels
A/N: This took so long, but we’re almost close to finishing the character backstories for this au. As the title suggests, I hope this would make a little bit of sense with these choices. This will only talk about their short time on Earth/Heaven, what the Hellborns’ lives were like, and what they did in the Pride ring before joining the cult.
Same as before, some warnings (18+): mentions of harassment, racism, abuse, demonic practice, mention of illness, angst, violence, death, etc... You get it, onto the post!
Trey Clover:
Trey was born in London on October 25, 1927. He lived in a cake shop with his mom, dad, and two little siblings, living their best lives. Even during the Great Slump and WWII, Trey would still have fun with his two friends, Che’nya and Riddle. After the war, he tried to stay in contact with Riddle until he was 18 years old, when his parents sent him to a university in Boston to study Dentistry. Trey would pass away from heart disease at the age of 23 on September 14, 1951.
Everything was super bright, even though his eyes were closed until he finally opened them. Trey was surprised to find himself in front of the golden gates of Heaven where St. Peter popped up from behind his desk and welcomed him inside. Trey looked much like himself except for a white halo above his head, a pair of large celeste green and cream-colored wings on his back. Everything was going all right for a few years until he protected an angel from Adam harassing another Angel, ultimately pissing him off and banishing Trey to Hell, making him a fallen angel.
Once he woke up from the shock, he could only see a red sky and blurry figure standing above him. That is until he heard a familiar voice say, “Trey, is that really you?” Trey’s eyes widened as the figure placed his glasses back on, revealing a confused and crying Riddle. After their reunion and arrived at the Heartslabyul district, Trey became Riddle’s second in command, while still adjusting to his new appearance becoming a greenish skin tone, pointed ears, sharp teeth, his eyes having a black sclera, a clover mark now his left cheek, and his pastel green wings had become broken.
Cater Diamond:
Cater was born in the Envy ring on February 4. His family were the only succubus family that lived in a suburban neighborhood, so some of the Envy demons would often pick on his family, due to their racist views on other demons. But thankfully it wouldn’t last long, since his father’s job allowed their family to move all around each ring of Hell. Although he was annoyed by it, it wasn’t as or more annoying than dealing with his two sisters’ unreasonable bossy behavior.
Once he reached 18 years old, he became an avid social media user, mainly Sinstagram, and wanting to seek attention, he decided to move to Pride to “live his life to the fullest.” While he does seem to be doing well for himself on social media, being as outgoing as he does in social situations, he does seem to have a knack for gathering information, despite others would consider him as just a “succubitch.”
So, when he reached 23 years old, he was able to get a job as Riddle’s informant and advisor, gathering information about any rule breakers and scheduling important meetings. During his time in Heartslabyul, he met Kalim and Lilia during one of the Overlord meetings, and the three of them would hangout, sharing their love of new trends and parties. So, all in all, don’t assume he’s just a sexy face, because he’ll know everything and make your life more hellish.
Jack Howl:
Jack was born in a Hellhound family in the Gluttony ring on October 11. As a Hellhound, he and his family are considered the lowest class of demons in hell, aside from the imps, so Jack comes off as rather cold and distant, not wanting help from others, basically being a Tsundere to everyone around him. And because of the discrimination towards Hellhounds, this also gave him a strong sense of justice and drive to become stronger.
When Jack reached 16 years old, he began training to become a professional guard as a means of showing honor and strength. Though if you think about it, it’s better than the alternative positions Hellhounds are restricted to, such as just being a family pet. Soon enough when he reaches 21 years old, he begins to hear about a king of some sorts in the Pride ring, an overlord who strives to lead a group of Hellbeasts to glory.
Jack moves to the Pride ring and encounters Ruggie, asking if he can serve as a protector in the Savanaclaw district. Ruggie, although finding his request strange, did agree to teach him some of the ropes around the place. Hopefully, with everything he learns, he hopes that as he gets stronger within Leona’s pride of Hellbeasts, people will see him as something more than just a Hellhound.
Jade and Floyd Leech:
Jade and Floyd Leech were born in the Greed ring on November 5, their mother being a moray eel demon from Envy and their father being a loan shark from Greed. Their family’s business mostly consists of “dabbles in a bit of everything,” and seeing as they lived in Greed, that would apply to anything mafia related. And as such, Jade and Floyd were often tasked to gather information about rival gangs and “take them out” if anything goes wrong.
As they both reached 22 years old, the twins started to grow bored of being in Greed, that is until they noticed an imp trying to escape some thugs from the Pride Ring. The imp expected the twins to help him, but he was in for a surprise of his life when Jade and Floyd helped the gowns in exchange for meeting the man the imp owes. So, after dumping the imp in the river, Jade and Floyd traveled to Pride and entered the lustrous Monstro Lounge in the Octavinelle district.
During the meeting, Azul was impressed with their handy work, disposing of a client that failed to pay his debt, and was surprised that they had asked to work in his business. Skeptical due to their fearsome demeanor, Azul agreed to their offer, and since then, they have been very close friends. Although they both become his two best men in crime, he has no control over them as they were free to do things they enjoyed in Pride, so at least they're doing alright for themselves.
Rook Hunt:
Rook Hunt was born in a Griffin Goetia family on December 2, his family’s nobility is ranked very high in Hell, or at least that’s as much as he can tell. What can be said is that Rook, from a very early age, is one of the strangest members in the Ars Goetia. Exploring the art of hunting while he has access to the living world, sneaking around spying on others and avoiding getting caught, all while discovering anything that he deems as beautiful.
On one of his customary drives through the streets of Pride, he immediately shouts for the driver to stop when something catches his eye. He stepped out of the limo and entered the Vees studio where he was greeted by Vox and Valentino, who believed he was there to indulge in adult films. However they are shocked to see that Rook walked past them and greeted Vil, declaring that he was so captivated by how beautiful he is and asked him many questions.
Over time, Rook and Vil would often spend time together, Vil would produce and perform his movies while Rook would watch and be amazed by his art. Rook also helps Vil by traveling to the living world and giving him some insight about the movie industry, as well as using his hunting skills to eliminate any competition. It pays to have not only a royal Goetia, but a loyal hunter by your side.
Epel Felmier:
Epel was born in the Wrath Ring to a family of imps on May 6. Being the shortest of his family, working on the farm, he tries his best to help with growing and selling apples. Growing up, he struggles to be more "manly"; he tries to grow taller, make his voice deeper, and build more muscle. But no matter how many times he tried, everyone still considered him to be cute, based on how he looked as he grew.
When he turned 21 years old, he traveled to the Pride ring, to make a deal with the Overlord Kalim to help his family with transporting their apples throughout Hell. However, he unfortunately bumps into and gets into a fight with the Cold-hearted Overlord, who insults him with the way he speaks in his hometown's accent. In triumph over his defeat, Vil forces Epel to work for him in his studio and become his personal project in exchange for providing help to Epel’s family to sell their products.
And since then, Epel has been, under contract, working for Vil in the Vees studio; mostly being a model for Velvet’s fashion and makeup brands and Vil teaching him proper etiquette while they live in the Pomefiore district. Epel hated how he was forced into Vil's overbearing beauty standards and constantly fought with the Overlord a lot, only to end up defeated afterwards. At least he has some people he could talk to in the studio, but it does piss Vil off whenever he hangs out with Angel from time to time.
Ortho Shroud:
With the real Ortho not being alive or his soul not in Hell (A/N: sweet baby’s too adorable to be there,) Ortho was created by Idia to be an exact image of his late brother, including having all of Ortho’s memories and personality. Idia created him out of Angelic steel, ensuring that he wouldn’t get damaged by any weapons while ensuring he won’t be slain from any exorcists. Ortho even tries to imitate his brother by making his hair look like his brother’s flaming hair and making his eyes glow as well. He spends his time helping Idia with his inventions and setting up meetings with Carmila, although he wishes his brother would attend them with him and make more finds. He has hope though.
Lilia Vanrouge:
From the beginning, Lilia and Lucifer were very close friends, during a time when Lucifer wasn’t appreciated by his fellow angels because of his ideas. Lilia served as a former holy guard, appointed by the elders to guard the Garden of Eden and make sure the first humans wouldn’t be tempted to sin. However, he felt sympathetic to Lilith’s independence and Lucifer’s dreams for humanity, so he secretly allowed them inside the garden.
Who would have known that when evil was released to Earth and Lucifer and Lilith were banished to Hell, Lilia and six other angels would rebel against heaven and become the first sets of Fallen Angels. They would be caught in a battle that would last for years on earth, until they were overrun and fled back to Hell. Lilia would continue to stay in contact with the royal family, sometimes even going to Earth, to give Lucifer some updates about humanity.
Although he was thankful for doing so much during his eternity of living, he had never been close to anyone, say for Lucifer, Lilith, and the other deadly sins. But that seemed to change when: he oversees watching over Malleus and teaches him about the human soul, he is asked by Sebek to train him to become a knight, and he found and adopted a human baby he named Silver. Hopefully, Lilia will continue to live until his death with the memories of the people he loves.
Silver:
Not much is known about his past, mainly about what he was or where he came from. All he knows is that Lilia found him as a baby on May 15, 1936. He didn’t understand why his father decided to adopt him since he was only human, but Lilia took him in and raised him as best he could. You can also imagine his surprise when Lilia recounted a story about how Lucifer couldn’t stop gushing over him when he told him and Lilith about Silver.
Now, the death of a human while in Hell is a bit tricky, instead of the usual soul falling into Hell, the body must undergo a painful transformation before they can begin their afterlife. So, when Silver unexpectedly died from an incurable illness January 29, 1959, at the age of 22, his body only grew gray and didn’t develop any demonic traits. Silver was so confused, he fled the castle, even if his body was still under recovery, until Lilia found him and cared for him while he was bedridden.
Over time, Silver had asked Lilia to teach him how to fight and use magic, since he had always wanted to learn when Lilia told him stories during the war. So he, along with a new apprentice named Sebek, Lilia taught them everything, from hand to hand combat, holy weapons training and magic lessons. Silver then decides to honor his father and to serve as a loyal guard, protecting his father, Malleus and even the royal family, should the time come.
