#Faust is their eyes lmao

[mjart12699]

If Asra has their dads eyes it’s safe to say they’ve never gotten their eyes checked and just think that everything is really blurry

[kalloway]

tossed some v rough colours on a different Faust sketch (that is v rough)

his original appearance he has multi-coloured hair (like a calico cat) and I used those colours here but they're toned down in a way that it makes him look like that ginger/blond-ish middle colour is his hair.... and I don't hate it tbh...

a darker brown colour (that's used in the shading here, just v lightly) is meant to be his 'natural' colour but..... hmm....

[ashlynniis-bracketeers]

Y'know, I find it really interesting (and hilarious) that somebody can Corrode into something that looks even freakier (or at least weirder) than the E.G.O's source Abnormality. I have to wonder if they could freak/weird-out their matching Abnormalities lmao.

Putting a bunch of text under the cut.

Using the E.G.Os/Abnos in the images as examples:

The Rose Hunter is at least arsed to look vaguely like a normal dude 90% of the time (discounting his thorny stem/root lower half as seen in the E.G.O splash art background for Hong Lu's version of Lasso). Corroded Lasso Faust is similar. Corroded Lasso Hong Lu, however, is basically a rose with two long stems tied into lassos and his "lower body" connected directly to the horse, with only part of his ponytail left. Not even getting into the fact that both his "torso" and the horse's abdomen are "bleeding" rose petals and the fact that the horse's rein is tied around Hong Lu's neck akin to a noose. He actually reminds me a bit of a Nuckelavee with the really long arms and being directly connected to the horse.

The Heavenly Executioner's Scribe is a pretty simple statue-looking thing. Meur's Corrosion is a bit funky with the little hands on his wings, his floating hands, and funky mask... But his Corrosion is nothing compared to whatever the hell Corroded Pursuance Rodion has going on lmao. She's got chains and she seems to have eyes on her eyes. Eyes for days.

Der Fluchschütze is a variant of Der Freischütz but red, basically. Pretty simple design, nothing fancy. Both of the Fell Bullet Corrosions are pretty goddamn weird compared to Der Fluchschütze's design, with Heathcliff's version turning him into a giant heart filled with guns while Yi Sang's version turns him into a sentient reflection stuck in a jury-rigged mirror+gun setup, but Yi Sang's version of Fell Bullet isn't in the game yet, so we do not have the sprite, so I just put Heathcliff's Fell Bullet Corrosion there. To be fair, it deserves to be here. Der Fluchschütze would definitely be confused as to how it could cause... that.

The Dreaming Electric Sheep is... Well, it's a sheep alright. With really long, clawed legs and a bunch of spikes sticking out of its wool, but it's a sheep alright. Meur Corrodes into this E.G.O hard. Compared to Don's Corrosion, he goes full Sheep. Which just makes me wonder why he's got that weird Demogorgon-looking meat-flower-flap face in his attack, while the Dreaming Electric Sheep's version of the "Electric Screaming" attack does not have that. Sheep Meur, y u have weird meat flower face. His head is also inside the wool 90% of the time for some reason...

Now im picturing faust and varg fighting over euro. Faust is highkey in love with euro but varg is lowkey and is jealous over faust and euros more happy relationship. Varg plays off his insane jealousy of wanting to fuck euro and faust is the scapegoat and finds a random reason to pick a fight with him.

Varg thought itd be an easy dub but faust is stronger than he looks. To onlookers its just two longhair twinks fighting. After the fight they both equally look fucked up like they both lost a fight. And ofc theyll both claim they each won. And thats the back story behind that cute pic of faust where it looks like he has two black eyes

I cannot begin to explain how fucking hilarious it is watching two twinky metalheads fight is; The image of this is so vivid in my mind-

Imagining two late-teenagers fighting over their unrequited crush is hilarious but when you add in the gay factor it's even better. I think jealousy is one of my favorite tropes ever ngl; I'm picturing Faust going to Helvete after just looking absolutely ROUGH and Øystein is like "the fuck happened" LMAO

Like how do you even begin to explain that to him? "I kicked a guys ass because I'm into you and I wanted to prove that I'm better than another guy who's into you"

[ly4k0s]

Firstly, when you get this, you have to answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly. Then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers /nf :3

Rice Pudding

Asra Alnazar x gn!Reader/Apprentice

I had this idea and even though I haven't played the Arcana too recently (I'm gonna replay it after this lmao), I couldn't rest without writing it out. Super short and sweet, but possibly ooc

Warnings: food, vague spoilers (as in, if you know you know), Asra being mischievous

Word Count: 821

Masterlist

AO3

The warm smell of cardamom drifted through the morning air. Outside it was already blazing hot, the sun’s glare scorching the golden sands that seemed to go on for miles. Cacti and aloe greedily soaked in the heat.

Inside, it was cool. The sun peeked through the windows, stealing the shade, but the spells carefully placed on the hut kept the temperature from rising too much. After all, cuddling in intense heat, all sweaty and gross, was not desirable.

You worked quietly in the small kitchen. Something had called to you as the sun rose, perhaps nothing more than a mere craving, but you decided to use this as an opportunity to surprise the wizard still snoozing in the other room. Asra was always slow to rise anyway, so you’d have plenty of time to-

“Ahh!” Your whole body jumped. Your heart leapt into your skull, pounding uncomfortably hard against your ribs. You could feel the rhythm in your throat and fingertips; hear it in your ears. You turned around to smack Asra in the chest. “You scared me!”

Asra didn’t have the decency to look apologetic. Instead, they snickered mischievously. Their hands - which had pinched your sides from out of nowhere - smoothed sweetly over your waist instead, thumbs rubbing just below your ribs. “I couldn’t resist the temptation,” he said.

You huffed, but you kissed his cheek anyway. “Makes me wonder if you learned it from Faust, or if she learned it from you.”

They kissed your cheek in return. You could feel the curve of his smile on your skin. “That’s a mystery we’ll never solve.”

As if she’d been called, you felt Faust’s cool scales glide around your neck and shoulders. Her adorable puppy-mouth pressed against your other cheek, before trying to slip between you and Asra. “Sneak attack!”

“I think she got it from you,” you accused. You grinned at him slyly over Faust’s head, before turning back toward the stove. His arms automatically wrapped around your stomach, chin resting on what free space their familiar left on your shoulder, head tilted to lean against yours. “I woke up wanting rice pudding.”

He hummed by your ear. You were sure his eyes were already slipping shut again. Once, they’d fallen asleep like this. Though to be fair, it had been back at the shop, where less than a foot away was the pile of pillows and cloths used for a bed, so if he fell, they’d have a soft spot to land.

They turned to nuzzle into your neck, warm breaths tickling you. “Spicy or sweet?”

You reached over to grab a small spoon. Well, you reached and fell terribly short. Faust was kind enough to become an extension of your arm and grab it for you. You scooped up a small bit of the pudding and held it up for Asra to taste. They buried their face back into your neck immediately after.

“Sweet. Just like you.”

“Says the cuddle bug clinging to me.”

“Those exist, you know.”

“Really?”

“Mhm. Deep in the South. They live just under the snow, waiting to grab on to anything warm that passes by.”

You stirred the pudding. “Like ticks?”

“Like ticks,” they confirmed. “But instead of sucking your blood” – he squeezed you for emphasis – “they suck up your warmth. Completely harmless. We should go looking for them sometime.”

With a flick of your wrist, the fire went out beneath the small pot. You pressed your elbow back into Asra’s side and he reluctantly let go, stepping away so you were finally free to move around. You grabbed a pair of mismatched bowls and another spoon, and playfully nudged Asra aside with your hip while he grabbed a spoonful from the pot.

With the pudding equally divided between the bowls, and after giving Faust a small lick of what was leftover, you all found yourselves sitting in bed, laying against and on top of one another, watching the plants in the windowsill and the blue sky beyond. Not much needed to be said, but the silence was filled nonetheless with plans for the day ahead, teasing remarks, and sweetened kisses. Later, you’d have to conjure water from sand for the land beast still sleeping outside, and ride on its back back to Vesuvia. Nadia and Portia would want to hear about your travels, Julian would be eager to get his hands on the special leeches you almost got arrested retrieving for him, you had some tasty treats for Muriel to give to Innana–

But for now, you’d bask in the feeling of Asra’s soft hair tickling your forehead as they pull you into their chest. The little dance of his fingers trailing across your hip. That soft look in his eyes. The little sigh he lets out as he presses his lips to your pulse point and feels the shared rhythm in your chests.

Yeah. All the rest can wait.

Amaimon x Student Reader 9

*for the Bon x reader x Amaimon request. I love the idea, and I'm trying to write it, but then I think Amaimon might just get annoyed and off Bon. Also it'd have to end with Amaimon because- I'm obsessed with him lmao*

I might've written the last paragraph first, then wrote the rest to fill in until I got there smh. I'm also writing chapter 3 for Amaimon x Exorcist. This chapter is not smut-heavy, but there is a tad bit.

You fidget awkwardly while sitting across from Amaimon in the restaurant. Upon your arrival, the owner greets you warmly and excitedly, informing you that Sir Faust has reserved your table. It’s a stunning restaurant, one you’d usually only visit for special occasions due to the menu prices. Even though the owner reassures you that everything is already covered and encourages you to order whatever you desire, you can’t help but gravitate toward the least expensive items. While all the options are pricey, there is a significant cost difference among some dishes.

As the waitress approaches, she glances over both you and Amaimon. When her gaze settles on you, a wave of embarrassment washes over you, making you want to shrink down. You can’t shake the feeling that her eyes are fixated on a particular spot on your neck. Just before you left the cinema, Amaimon had bitten you. Hard. Before leaving the theater, you checked it in the bathroom; the wound was still open and bleeding freely. The bleeding has stopped, but you know that bruising is beginning to appear.

During dinner, you sit awkwardly, unsure what to do or say. Amaimon doesn’t care to start a conversation, finding just watching you squirm entertaining enough. 

After dinner, Amaimon takes you home. “Kiss me.” He orders, pinning you between himself and the door. Nervously, you nod and softly press your lips against him. Izumo was correct. Amaimon doesn’t hesitate to slide his hand up your thigh, slipping beneath your dress. Amaimon's lips leave yours, trailing kisses down your neck as he whispers, his voice low and commanding, "You're my pet." His grip on you tightens, possessive. His lips press against the bruising skin on your neck. “This better not be covered Monday,” he warns before sucking hard and making sure there will be a visible mark for at least a few days.

--------------------------------

Shiemi stares at you, her jaw dropped, as you recount what happened on the date. It’s the day after, and you’ve invited Shiemi to your apartment since Izumo and Paku are unavailable today. Shyly, you tug at the scarf covering the mark he left on your skin. “I don’t know what to do. It’s so noticeable. On Monday at school, not only will our group tease me, but everyone else will be staring if I don’t cover it! Oh God, the teachers! I hadn’t thought about them yet; they’ll definitely tell my parents.” You know your mom and dad would move you out of Japan if they discovered you had any kind of relationship with Amaimon. “What do I do?!” Poor, sweet Shiemi looks completely lost and has no idea what to suggest. “Maybe you should just wear a scarf tomorrow anyway? You wore one all last week, so it won’t seem like you’re trying to hide it, right?”  

“R-right. Right. Yes, you’re right. I’ll just tell Amaimon I forgot, and yeah- that’ll work.” You nod confidently. 

-------------------------------------

Everything is fine. You go to class, and weirdly, Amaimon doesn’t mention it. You think at first maybe he had also forgotten, or he’s gotten used to seeing you in a scarf, so it went over his head. 

Everything is working out; it’s fine. 

Perfect. 

Except it’s not perfect because Amaimon is pissed. 

You can’t tell because of the stoic expression. If you could read his mind, you would’ve realized how angry he was and probably thrown the scarf in the trash to appease him. But alas, you’re not a mind reader. 

He doesn’t show it until lunchtime. 

Amaimon watches with a snarl. Not only are you covering proof that you belong to him, but you’re also getting too close to Rin Okumura, the one human he despises more than the rest. His first instinct is to kill Rin, but Mephisto has already warned him that if he kills anyone, he’ll end up locked away again. His eyes scan your face; you’re too happy. Why are you so happy with Okumura? How long will he be separated from his pet if he's imprisoned again? He observes Bon throwing an arm over your shoulder, saying something that makes your face turn red while you bashfully look away.  His thoughts of torture and murder instantly vanish when you make eye contact with him. 

You watch as Amaimon’s expression turns from rage to eerily blank. Oh fuck, oh fuck, he’s angry at me. Where is Shiemi when I need her? If Shiemi were here, you’d cling to her, needing something to ground you, hell, even Izumo. But the girls aren’t here, so you’re sitting stiffly between Rin and Bon. 

Amaimon approaches you silently, his eyes locked on yours. “Why are you wearing that?” I don’t like when my pets disobey. His words ring through your mind. 

“It’s cold. I wasn’t trying to hide it.” As you undo the scarf, you lie through your teeth, tossing it towards the deadly grumpy demon. Rin is to your right, where the mark is. Shima is also to your right, and thankfully, he reacts quickly, harshly shoving his elbow into Rin’s ribs to keep the half-demon quiet. “You didn’t say anything this morning, and I forgot.” Another lie. You can’t forget it when a tinge of pain shoots through you if you move a certain way. You just don’t want someone to tell your parents. 

“Kiss me.” 

Your mind goes blank, and you can barely hear your friends’ dramatic reaction to Amaimon’s order. Just like before, you stare in disbelief, like maybe you might have misheard him. But your face flushes crimson as you realize you heard him correctly. You’re at school, and this goes against the rules. You could get suspended. He removes the lollipop from his mouth and gazes at you expectantly.

Peach. It’s the first flavor you experience after hesitantly pressing your lips against Amaimon’s. He quickly deepens the kiss, running his tongue along yours. The artificial scent and taste of peach candy flood your senses, blended with a hint of the earthy forest scent that always clings to Amaimon.

As you pull away, gasping for air, Amaimon smirks at you, pleased. You're left feeling both embarrassed and aroused, your heart beating rapidly in your chest. 

Your friends are still watching, their expressions a mix of shock and concern. Rin looks like he wants to say something, but Shima's arm is still wrapped tightly around him, holding him back. Bon seems to be trying to process what just happened. 

“Amaimon, we’re at school, " you whisper as he leans in again. He pulls back slightly, running his fingers lightly down your cheek. "You're my pet," he growls. “And I will claim you whenever and wherever I please. Is that a problem?” 

You quickly shake your head. “No. No problem at all.” 

Shima releases Rin while scratching the back of his head. “She’s melting in his arms.” 

Rin growls, stepping forward. “What the hell is that?” He points at your neck while snatching the scarf from Amaimon. “You idiot. She can’t walk around with that; she’ll get in trouble with the school. She could be expelled!” 

“It’s Big Brother’s school.”

“So? You said he told you to follow the rules, right?” Rin points at the bite/hickey. “That is against the rules!” He shoves the scarf back into your hands. “And so is kissing!”  Rin snaps, but Shima steps in between them, his hands raised placatingly. “Guys, let’s calm down; like you said, we’re at school.” He attempts to help. 

Bon speaks up for the first time since Amaimon’s arrival. “What the hell is that? Did he force you?”

Your eyes widen at the thought, and you shake your head quickly. “No! Of course not.”

“Please, we all know it was her choice,” Shima interjects with a smirk.

“Yeah, right,” Rin scoffs.

Amaimon glares at Rin, his voice low and dangerous. “Stay away from her.”

Rin bristles at the threat, “What do you mean to stay away from her?  She’s been friends with us for months. She’s known you for a week. Who the hell do you think you are to her?” 

Amaimon stares blankly, and for a moment, Rin thinks maybe he won, maybe Amaimon will back off and leave them, and ______ alone finally. But then the demon king smirks, using Rin’s words from the other day. “I’m long term- marriage, kids, and all that.” 

---------------------------

Shiemi, Izumo, and Paku stare at you with wide eyes as you share what they had missed earlier in the day. Izumo recovers first; she stares at you long and hard, looking for something in your expression. “You do realize he wasn’t serious, right?” 

“Of course.” 

Izumo sighs. “But?” 

Slowly, you shake your head. “No, no buts. I know he wasn’t serious. Of course, I know he wasn’t serious.” 

She sighs again. “But?” 

“I said no buts.” 

“_____.” 

“I know he wasn’t serious…but hearing him say it- I just want it more now, and it’s so stupid. I know it’s stupid. I’ll be lucky if this lasts longer than a month, won’t I?” 

The three girls just give you looks of pity. 

Izumo glares at the floor. “Okumura needs to learn to shut up. None of us are happy about it. I understand how he feels:” Her fists clench in her lap, “but you’re so stupidly blinded by lust and love. He just needs to sit back and shut up until it plays out.” 

Rin doesn’t shut up; it’s almost as if he actively seeks out you and Amaimon whenever you’re together. You can tell Rin is nearby when Amaimon unexpectedly pulls you in for kisses. It’s not just to annoy Rin, though; Amaimon genuinely seems to relish having his hands or lips on you whenever he gets the chance.

Amaimon has specific preferences; he likes to make you take the initiative. He rarely kisses you first unless Rin is present. Though there have been multiple times when Rin was present, he’d order you to kiss him.

“I’m surprised you don’t have another date with Amaimon tonight,” Rin grumbles, flipping some meat on the grill. Amaimon has been intersecting you and your friends after school all week. You think he might only be asking and taking you on all these dates to piss Rin off. The half-demon is almost always there when Amaimon cuts in. 

You shrug, “You can’t complain about him. You’re the one who caused him to have an interest in me. Thanks, by the way.” You grin, flipping the meat, Rin hadn’t gotten to yet. 

“No!” 

“You told him I liked him, so it’s your fault that Amaimon decided to take an interest in me.” But that’s not entirely accurate; Amaimon had already mentioned you intrigued him for a different reason, although he’s yet to reveal what it is. You suspect it has something to do with what he overheard the first night you met him. He still claims he doesn’t remember.

Bon glares at Rin. “Can we go one night without talking about him? Why did you even have to bring him up?” 

You glance at your phone as it lights up with a notification. 

Perfection: Come here. 

“Oh, I have to go.” You stand, tossing some cash on the table. Shiemi grabs onto your arm. “______, you haven’t eaten yet.”

“I’m not that hungry.” 

Amaimon stares down at his pet with a stoic expression. He enjoys getting under Rin’s skin, sharing details about the dates, kisses, and everything else with him, knowing it will anger the son of Satan. He kisses you in front of him, unabashedly moving his hand up your skirt when he knows Rin is watching. He knows this will infuriate Rin much more than all the previous incidents. But seeing you like this—shy, nervous, and excited—is a sight that makes him feel possessive. Rin doesn’t deserve to know just how amazing you are, and Amaimon will ensure that no other man does either. He tangles his hand in your hair. “Swallow, pet.” He demands, shoving your head lower on his cock.

Mashle 2 Episode 2

Other Episodes-> ep1 ep3 ep4 ep5

This episode was a riot. It was so much fun.

SO many random HP easter eggs and we get some new fun characters!!

Specifically, Margarette Macaron!!

I love them. Non-binary, music magic, and a love of tartar sauce (and a motorcycle in the ending credits!). (It me? maybe.) Despite seeming like an overused Okama-trope, I have hope based on the spoilers I went searching for. I'm so hype for more of them in the next episode.

VA Squee: They're voiced by Koyasu, Takehito!!! The voice of Dio Brando! Touji Fushiguro! Faust VIII from Shaman King! and Clayman from TenSura!!! A very masculine voice that can also take on feminine tones and a perfect fit for Margarette. Manga Spoiler: I wonder if they'll have another va...

Ep 2 Spoilers Under the Cut! Warning IT'S SO LONG THERE'S SO MUCH.

We open in the middle of the decision to execute Mash or not, and Dumbledore, Harry, and Draco having a stand off lmao

We learn that Whalberg/Dumbledore is a famous wizard because he fought with Innocent Zero in his youth.

Does this mean the shadowed Innocent Zero who was called father by Cell War is the equivalent of Grindelwald, and Evil Jesus(Cell War (or cell wall if you wanna be a pun) is Voldemort? (Also is it father or Father lololol)

ALSO, ARE ALL THESE NAMES FROM A RNG OR PUNS CAUSE I CAN'T TELL YET lmao

We get a little speech from Wahlberg reminiscent of one of Dumbledore's speeches, but more importantly, WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF RAYNE ALSO BOWING???

Also his protecting the headmaster is a cute touch

I get that he is one of the Divine Visionaries, but is he more important than the others? He's still a student, wait, HOW DO STUDENTS HAVE THIS MUCH POWER IN THE GOVERNMENT?? NO WONDER ITS FUCKED UP??? Did I miss something??? (His reasoning for not wanting Mash dead also being the flashback to Rayne thanking him for taking care of his little brother?)

And of course Mashle can't be executed, so they set they give him a task to delay his sentencing...

The original goal Mash had in the first place, so ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

Them backing the fuck up as Mash punches the floor is fricken hilarious. The best parts though...

1) Innocent Pero / Innocent Gyro - Thats a great subtitle translation choice, because they can't do a straight translation. Mash calls them Innocent Pero, with pero being the onomatopoeia for LICKING something in Japanese (WHATS THAT IMPLYING :EYES:), so Innocent Gyro is a good choice XD

and 2) the scene cuts to the bad guy's lair... which also seems to be shaking...

(I went and installed a gif maker for this >.>)

DON'T TELL ME. IS THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS UNDER THE BUREAU OF MAGIC????? (This is my theory and I'm sticking to it. Season 1 semi-stuck with random Philosopher's Stone plot points and the secret rooms, so it can be a semi-safe bet that season 2 might follow Chamber of Secrets?)

We then jump to an outing at the near by town to celebrate Mash Avoiding Death.

↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ The normal one ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓

Finn is the only actual normal one, WITH STYLE AT THAT, and I love him for it. (However he might also be the target of a Brother Complex and end up on the receiving end if Rayne can get over himself>o>)

The fucking Koalas...

What The Fuck Lmfao. That's all I have to say (but also this is a common gag for Japanese comedians and high school boys so... Still WTF. (This had my Beetle killing himself with laughter))

3 Wizards and a Macho walk into a wand shop and...

And the Macho is the one to get a wand. I'm so fascinated by this. How much damage is this thing going to do when Mash finally yeets it at someone???

The entire second half episode is so cute. Mash is so happy to have friends... I'm so happy for him....

But Also. Poor Finn. Look at these Freaks (affectionate).

YOU'RE ONE TO TALK. But Also Poor Finn.

The last bit. Our introduction to Margarette Macaron.

The fucking... shrimp.

Literally

It took Too Much Time for my ace-ass to realize they're THRUSTING the shrimp into the tartar sauce.

I love them? I love tartar sauce too. It's delicious.

They are so over the top. I love everything about them.

I've added too many photos to this post and tumblr is yelling at me.

So I will leave off with my hype for Rayne vs Margarette in the next episode!!!

↑↑↑↑Imagine me making this same face in anticipation↑↑↑↑

[solradguy]

Did we get any eye lore updates in the new GG world? Did that bit finally get dropped from the english GG World

Doesn't look like it. Biggest stuff seems to be they added a few anniversary/misc. special dates to characters that didn't have birthdays before (Venom, ABA, Sol, and Faust, but nothing for Bedman/?). Though, they seem to have forgotten to put the proposal date for Sol in his entry in English..?

They added an entry for Vialattea, the kingdom Ky and Dizzy rule together too, but almost half of it is about how Dr. Paradigm's efforts have made property values skyrocket lmao

The Sol proposal date will probably get patched in later, but I have little faith in them ever fixing the especially egregious errors

[ike-garden2024]

Now I’m going to rate each of the “all that you desire” story sale things, Vlad, Faust, & Charles. Just to my personal liking btw

Vlad: 9/10 (point off for no biting and when with vampires, I want full on bites lol going to keep an eye on him during events to see if this new liking of him is a 1 time thing or if it’s here to stay lol)

Faust: 6/10 (I have epilogues from story events that were written better)

Charles: 10/10 (everything I was dreaming of and more lol although… I think I’ve been spending too much time with Liam and it’s influencing this because I don’t remember liking Charles so much before lmao they’re a bit similar, not the same though)

[happypanda101]

It goes unnoticed by the scowling teen, but something in taunting blue eyes shift. Playful smile dropping slightly. Before she knows it, the shadow of Emperor's tallest member looms over her. Trapping her in a blanket of shadow as he lumbers over to the aisle she’s in. Sudden pressure against her forehead make Nora’s eyes cast upward, seeing how the man’s brows furrow as a rough hand pushes against her warm skin, holding still for a moment.

“You’re sweating.”

“Oh, I had no idea.”

He makes a face, pulling back. “Are you sick?”

The mixed matched haired girl swallows thickly. “Yes, I am.”

Blue eyes narrow in on the the smaller teen judgingly. “Then why the fuck did you show up?”

Little snippet for the oneshot I’m working on for my Lords Of Chaos fanfic before I actually try to take a shot at writing the fic.

I liked the idea of making little pieces that don’t really fit into the fic into a little series to lighten all the angst that’s most likely/will happen lmao.

Anyway, Faust being himself but actually caring for once. Nora just wants to work even though she feels like shit (she’s sick). He wants her to go lie the fuck down.

And as always-

Please note: Lords Of Chaos is an inaccurate movie based off of an inaccurate book based on real people and real events. I don't condone anything that happened. This fic is the closest I will get to RPF, and is only because I'm interested in the black metal scene/like the music. This is just for fun because the movie is a guilty pleasure of mine.

Ikemen Vampire Part 14 - Johann Georg Faust Route

Faust is beautiful but definitely creepy haha. What a great start to their relationship, he bites her and inspects her body to see if she's any different to the people in this era loll, what a guy. OMG who would have expected Charles the baby face to be the one that sleeps around lmao. He named his squirrel monkey Mephistopheles🤣🤣 I'm not sure how ethical Faust is but it was nice to see the heroine apologise for accusing him of killing people with no evidence or anything. It's hard to fault Faust considering how much pain he has to watch over with the people who confess in the confessionals and seeing the orphaned children try their best to live their lives. The most practical way is live on your strength alone rather than relying on prayers and I can't help but agree with that. Prayers can give solace but can it really save people? But I do agree that it can give hope. Faust being bad at waking up in the morning was expected but it was nice to see his hazel eyes without the glasses, BUT I emphasise that he looks so much hotter with the glasses. You shouldn't be friendly with your kidnapper, but if he's hot, why not? Just kidding, but honestly, the heroine warming up to them is normal considering how much time she spends with them especially since they're not terrible people who treat her badly.

Maybe it was cruel of Faust to say such harsh words to the sickly son that wants to die to relieve his mother of her pain, but I think Faust just wanted to use his own way to make the son realise how hard she is working because she wants him to live, not die. Sure it's easier on her if he was gone, but she's working so hard exactly because she wants him to live no matter how difficult life becomes due to it. Charles really wants to live a simple and happy life with everyone together huh? Anyway, it was funny to see the children think that the heroine and Faust are married because they live together, and then Charles and Vlad pop up and are like that means she's married to us too🤣 I mean, I'm not against that, it sounds wonderful. Considering his personality and his research on eternal life, you can't blame the heroine for thinking that Faust is behind these resurrection incidents where corpses have been coming back to life. I'm happy the heroine asked him straight out but too bad his answer was interrupted, but I'm curious now, because he said he absolutely wouldn't do such a thing and I want to know why. It seems that despite the way Faust is, he really cares about the "weak" and does his best to research etc because he wants to save them from things beyond their control like the epidemic that has now affected the children at the orphanage. Faust so kindly telling the heroine to not push herself actually made me so happy, it was so heartwarming! Honestly, I wasn't sure about their relationship, but seeing Faust sacrificing sleep taking care of her when she caught the epidemic whilst assisting him with the children was just so sweet.

I think it's sad that Faust had to witness and realise that the children around him in his orphanage he grew up in back in the day were being sold to slave traders and perverted aristocrats whilst the kind mother who took care of them didn't even know?? I can't imagine the life Faust and all these children had to suffer. The way Faust bit the heroine's neck and they both got excited was pretty hot tbh. It's crazy to witness such emotion and desire from Faust. I guess it's really different when he likes her hahaha. It's nice to know that once upon a time Vlad did try to actively change the course of history but realised that it was impossible because history corrected itself for major events so he couldn't interfere too much. I guess that means the reason why Faust vomited blood and is in a coma is because his actions is changing the effects of the epidemic. The heroine willing to risk her life to travel back in time and hopefully change the course of the future by making people more aware and careful of the epidemic so that Faust's actions won't be considered going against the order of the world is very brave and sweet. Her impression of him really has changed so much and I have to admit, I'm the same.

I can see why Faust gave up on his faith in God, if even Mother Therese questioned it when she was about to die, how could he not, having to watch her die when she was so kind to him and tried her best for the children that still ended up getting exploited? I quite like the CG of young Faust screaming into the sky that he refuses to accept innocent people dying and people being treated unfairly as simply fate. I think it was a nice amalgamation of everything Faust had to suffer through internally finally bursting out as he believes that God can't control everything and he will prove it by making someone or something with eternal life, a life that even God can't take away and simply regaled as fate. Faust being able to believe in hope again because of the heroine really made my heart break. Her efforts to travel through time wanting to save him really touched him and I'm glad he got to understand her feelings. The heroine desperately giving her blood trying to save Faust broke my heart too, especially because she finally understood a bit of Faust's pain in senselessly watching the people you love die when they don't deserve such a cruel ending. Alexandre, the guy that was researching or was into this, saving the day was expected but it's nice to see Faust truly free from a fate that desired to kill him.

The heroine angrily confessing her love for Faust was so cute. It's so nice to see how passionate their love is for each other now. It was also nice to know that le Comte told the residents about the heroine being safe when she travelled back in time and they even helped spread awareness about the epidemic because of that. Lmao, Faust going to the mansion and saying he was there to collect his guinea pig was so cute and endearing, I loved it, it really makes me think about how far we've come haha. Hehehe, Faust admitting that he wouldn't let the heroine go back to her time even if she wanted to was so cuteee. I also think it was fitting that Faust kept up his role as a priest in a way because he wanted to take over for Mother Therese even though he couldn't believe in God anymore.

Overall, I really enjoyed Faust's route. Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect when I first started it and I actually had quite a long break because of life and I didn't think it was that interesting but when the story picked up, it really picked up. I love how along with the heroine, I really doubted Faust's original intentions and thought he was totally that crazy scientist kinda figure, and whenever he never denied it, it just made me keep thinking there's more to this but that doesn't mean he's not crazy! Well, anyway, it was nice to see how we and the heroine got to gradually understand Faust better with his actions and with what he learnt to express to the heroine. He evidently cared for people the more we got to know him, to the point that it was basically undeniable that everything he does was for people and to go against fate. I really enjoyed watching his past because of how he reacted to everything. His story isn't one that's very different from alot of people who have experienced such pain, but when he screamed to the world at how unfair things were and how he refused to accept fate as it was, it felt very understandable and made me want to cheer for him and support him. Considering how he doesn't show a lot of his emotions, it was nice to see how expressive he was and to know deep down how emotional he really was when it came to life. Initially, I wasn't too into the heroine and Faust's relationship but midway, I really loved how they both grew to understand the other and loved each other for the values and beliefs they held. And once they got together, Faust was just so cute and sweet in his own possessive way haha. No one beats my love for Vlad and Theo but I'd say Faust is pretty high up and it helps that in terms of looks, he's definitely the hottest for me haha!

UNCHAINED SANGUINEOUS HEARTMAKER {Guilty Gear}

Riding the high of a resounding Epiphany.

...Did I pull another "Desdinova" purely out of sheer A.B.A hopium? (I kept the lines sketchy, though, because I could not be arsed to try and mimic Strive's linework style again after the pain from last time ahjsdgajhsdgadk)

Yes. Yes I did.

So, those Season 3 character survey results, huh? The A.B.A hopium is real. I really do wonder what they'd do with her if she was brought to Strive, so I decided to try my hand at a "Strive-ified" A.B.A design.

Make sure to check under the cut for the "concept art" I made + their associated information.

So, design background info:

So, she's a... weirdo homunculus, right? An artificial human, created by a mad scientist she never met, so she was alone and never really learned how to... "people". That key in her head also keeps on reminding me of the bolts lodged in the sides of pop-culture-ified Adam's (Frankenstein's monster) head. She's also desperately trying to find a human(oid) body for the demon/magical foci Paracelsus/Flament Nagel, who she is deeply in love with. Artificially-created human, medical themes, artificial human form, deeply in love...

So what if she decided that, with her attempts at finding a body for him repeatedly failing (XX endings don't count, XX's canonicity is completely FUCKED lmao), why doesn't she just... create one herself instead?

In other words, the creation becomes the creator. Lil' bit of "Bride of Frankenstein" thrown in, if the guy making the bride (or in this case, groom) was the monster itself.

So, making her into a key-axe-wielding mad scientist homunculus.

I tried to make her pose reminiscent of a dance move, specifically a "dip".

I hope you like it!

GG ABA Strive fandesign sheet 01

The first drawing I got done of my design for A.B.A (featuring a base-shapes Paracelsus for scale). Featuring her color palette (F1 is base flesh, F2 is scarring, H is hair, B is bandages, C1 is primary coat color, C2 is secondary coat color, C3 is tertiary coat color, E is "edges", M1 is one of the metal colors, A is "accents", M2 is the second metal color, and the square below that is the eye colors), weird ragged patchwork "lab-coat", boot details, "branding", and some of the text on her design.

- The phrase printed along the front edge of her coat (and the heels of her boots) is "LOCK&SEE" (the "&" stylized to look like/replaced with a keyhole symbol), a spin on the phrase "Lock and Key", fitting with her obsession with keys and tendency towards twisting sayings/phrases into mondegreens. Also implies hiding something.

- The brand on the back of her coat is meant to look like the coffin shape on the back of Paracelsus's head during Moroha Mode, with the nose hole and right eye hole visible. Text above it reads "PARACELSUS" (with the P and R stylized to have curved horns in the back like MM Para), and the text underneath reads "FLAMENT NAGEL" (with similar "horn" stylization on the F).

- The scarring is damage from her not wearing proper protective gear during her experiments (because she doesn't seem like one to wear proper PPE lmao), much of it taking up most of the left side of her upper torso/arm (meant to mirror Strive Faust's stitching).

- She's both grimy and very... "DIY", so her stitching is very hodgepodge.

- The text along the stitching on the back of her coat reads "The More The Moodier.", a play on one of her mondegreen win-quotes in XX (against I-No: "People say "the more the gloomier", but she's just too much to take...") but with the same alliteration as "the more the merrier" which it was derived from.

- The brand on the right side of her shorts is the same as on her back, but without the "FLAMENT NAGEL" and with "PARACELSUS" underneath instead of above.

- The key markings (gloves, boots) all have the same key-blade shape as Paracelsus.

- I had some trouble figuring out some of her colors, as they differed between the sprites (blue metal, glove. and trim) and official artwork (dark brown metal + glove, blue trim), so I decided to have dark brown for the keys and dark blue for the studded trim and left glove.

- The laces of her boots and the buttons on her coat are meant to resemble Para's mouth stitches

- Made her head-key/neck keys have a little skull decoration similar to some of her XX art (it's very inconsistent).

GG ABA Strive fandesign sheet 02

The second "Strive-ified" A.B.A design sheet I made.

- Both of the large gloves look the same, with the red bands and Paracelsus-blade key markings.

- The dark blue left-hand glove is (mostly) the same. I like to think that it's her "woobie", what with her tendency to get attached to inanimate objects.

- The dark blue cropped tank-top is meant to only be visible in Moroha. The text reads "MOCK&KEY" (the "&" stylized to look like/replaced with a stylized keyhole symbol, the top part of the keyhole meant to look like a coffin), another spin on "Lock and Key" like the previously-mentioned "LOCK&SEE" compounded with her believing herself to be superior to humans. Moroha is what was locked-up.

GG ABA Strive fandesign sheet 03

Third sheet I made.

- Noting specific design changes during Moroha. Coat opens + key "eyes" gain red glow.

- Design for her head + neck keys.

- Design for her bloodpacks. Text reads "FRASCO". Symbol underneath meant to look like a "flask" shape made out of an upside-down keyhole.

GG ABA Strive fandesign sheet 04 (Para)

The fourth sheet I made, featuring Paracelsus and his colors.

I honestly didn't change much lmao. His design is already weird by GG standards, mostly just tweaked some things.

- Made his eyes asymmetrical. Right has small iris and no pupil, left has beady pupil. Wanted to make him look "cartoony (western) neurotic/nervous" while hinting at his "main" glowy eye in Moroha being his right eye.

- I blurred/smudged the blood along the bottom edge to imply that A.B.A dragging him around wore away some of it.

- I added some spikes to his collar for a "punk" look, which glow red in Moroha.

- I kept his mouth stitches in Moroha. The mouth-corner stitches remain, while the middle stitches are tied around his left horn.

GG ABA Strive fandesign sheet 05

The final sheet I made, featuring mechanic ideas, "meta" stuff, and a design for repurposing an older move into a reversal super.

- Non-replenishable resources don't really fly in Strive, so I decided to make them replenishable through an alternate version of Bonding (a.k.a Keygrab). One Keygrab variant for Moroha, one Keygrab variant for a bloodpack. Starts off with no bloodpacks. Max three bloodpacks at a time. Functionality basically the same as XX.

- Turned Altercation (i.e. Enter Goku Moroha) into a Moroha-exclusive reversal super. Goku Moroha is not something that flies by modern fighting game characters, let alone Strive, so GM would definitely get axed. Still keeping Altercation as an absolute weirdo of a move, taking different resources depending on how much she has of each.

- Not sure what to actually do with Moroha's function/moveset, but having an "Install" state is the big thing that defines A.B.A's playstyle, so she'd probably keep at least base Moroha.

- Evidence: Concealment becomes a full reversal that only hits one hit as opposed to three, because most people cancel it after the first hit anyway lmao

[danganronpafan777]

Are you on chapter 6 of danganmon yett

Just finished it!! Gonna binge the finale tomorrow!

Here’s my reactions:

New headmaster?! Oh shit-

Monomoth’s design is so freaking pretty

“Do you think we’re modeled to look like Pokémon?”

BRO WHAT??

Idk what suprised me more, the fact Juno made this connection or that they’re actually self aware

Cyrillo’s shocked face at Apollo’s idea of them all being Pokémon turned humans is v suspicious 🤨 

^That was my theory, but I didn’t think they all knew what Pokémon were (If this was mentioned or cleared up in an earlier chapter then my bad)

So Monoloin is Pearl from the Pikachi story? No way a Pikachu character is the mastermind

She says that she’s fighting for herself, but I thought Monoloin was fighting for Sylvia? Hope their bond gets explored more, but I feel like one of them will be the victim

THEIR SELLING THE BODIES??? WTFFF

Pearl dropped that bomb so casually too

What is that organization doing with the corpses? Vivisection??

What did Pearl mean by “You brought yourself here”?? Everyone got amnesia rn remember?

Hope Cyrillo’s sister is okay, but she probably dead :(

YTTD reference :0

Pearl covering for Kami, redemption arc inbound! (She’s gonna die)

Cyrillo really turned into Kokichi for a second about Kami’s lie about the monpads (ngl I’m here for it)

Yeah, with the making food for everyone suddenly… I agree with Zoro, Cyrillo is acting strange… it’s either despair disease or he going delulu 

And now Kami is suspicious… did she kill someone the night before? She had way too many “…”s in her blue text 

The Cyrus fte is honestly my fav fte so far

Pearl ain’t no snitch lmao (Cyrillo prob a traitor/mastermind tho)

The beauty and the Beast furniture (The teacup and teapot, candlestick, and clock) and the Be Our Guest message in Cyrillo’s motive isn’t making bro more innocent (Beauty and the Beast also takes place in France-)

Could the Monomoth walking by have been an illusion? 

Aww, would’ve been nice to have a Kami x Roxanne sleepover (I swear if Roxanne dies I’ll cry I ship them)

NOOOOOO ZORO DUCK BOI NO 😭😭

Apollo’s reaction hurts… his character be changing like the seasons, but damn he finally had a friend

I think Kami is the killer, cuz she’s been acting sketchy (And mentions going in the vents twice. The first was during the first murder, but when’s the second?)

Cyrillo definitely saw either Kami or Zoro

The vent entrances on Sylvia’s map are the hall opposite of Kami’s room… so could Zoro have used the vent? 

Everyone looks like the same height, so outside of Kami, the only other short student I can think of is Juno

Kami saying that she’s sentencing everyone to a terrible fate in her monologue… that screams blackened to me 😭 

WHY ARE THERE NEW ROXANNE SPRITES?? I got a bad feeling but damn they look good 

What the duck boi doin??

Roxanne just be salty about being rejected

OOOH SHIT SOMEONE ELSE DIED??

The minute they mentioned eye contacts I knew it was Roxanne 😭😭 

Kami losing gfs like Makoto, and Zoro really pulling a Tsumugi??

Kami gonna have survivors guilt for saying no to the sleepover… How did I not see Roxanne’s death flag at that??

Apollo looked so happy talking to Zoro unaware in the closing argument. Idc if duck boy is a traitor, just let him have genuinely cared for Apollo pls…

OMG WHAT IF ZORO DISGUISED HIMSELF AS KAMI?? And that’s why Roxanne didn’t bring her syringe?? I’m still mad about the changing into Sam thing in front of Faust, but if Zoro did this imma be pissed

I’m lowkey for the cy-fi closing argument tho

ZORO WAS DOING MORE MASTERMIND SHIT THEN PEARL WTF

When he says he did it to protect the one he cares about most, my first thought was Apollo, but it might also be his only family member 

Pop off Apollo! His character unpredictable as hell, but still great :)

Idk, I hate the things Zoro did, but I still really like his character. It feels depressingly in character for the lack of closure in regards to his backstory/overall motive

Apollo apologizing for the second trial is the only good thing to come out of that execution jfc

“He used to be nice, even at the beginning of the killing game. Then she died and…”

??? The mastermind used to be nice, even at the beginning of the kg? The Pearl story is fucking me up, but could Maria be the “she” who died? (Cuz she’s been the least relevant character so far-)

With Pearl, the mastermind (confirmed a guy/“Little Pichu”) and another guy (Victor??)

It really took Roxanne being penetrated by a dozen rods for her to realize she was bi (I felt like Miu writing this, I’m so sorry-)

Zoro really just dropped everything and said to them, “You may now ask questions”

The camera just HAD to die huh…

Overall, this is definitely my favorite class trial so far. Awesome chapter 

I love Monomoth sm and Pearl is growing on me a lot more

[cinset]

HELLO. Can I request some fauaki fluff if that's okay. Nothing specific just some fluffies :333 aaand Thank you!

Tea & Mirrors

Faust gently ushered a mug of tea into Akira’s hands before turning to the white, fluffy cat kneading happily at his bedsheets.

Lemongrass. With a hint of sweetness. Akira accepted it gratefully, feeling the warmth travel from the mug to their fingertips as a pleasant tingle.

The two of them were outside for some time as they tried to coerce this cat inside. Even with all of Faust’s patience and gentle words, it still took the better part of a half hour. Plus, they had encountered Bradley in the hallway and had gotten an earful about “potential allergens,” and “getting that thing out of here”. The cat, unsurprisingly, wasn't well- received in the manor.

“Goodness…” Faust mused. “Look at you, all content now that you’re inside. I have half a mind to believe you’re in fine condition after all.” He paused, watching as the cat resigned to licking its paws. “Spoiled.”

Akira chuckled at the scene, carefully setting his mug down on Faust’s desk and going to stand beside him near the bed, giving the animal a healthy amount of space.

“So it’s alright?” Akira asked. The cat meowed, surveying both Faust and Akira curiously as if it’d never seen the two of them before–as if it hadn’t been leading them in circles around the outskirts of the manor for ages, making sure to coat its fur with mud and leaves thoroughly.

“Seems like it. Other than the obvious,” Faust said with a sigh, taking his hat from his head and dusting it off before turning to Akira. “Sorry for dragging you into this unnecessarily.” Akira shook their head and dropped to their knees near Faust’s bed to offer the back of their hand to the cat, who sniffed it with disinterest. Faust put his hat back on.

“I don’t mind at all! I quite like cats. They remind me of home.” They reached a hand out to stroke its fur, watching how the cat followed their movements with wide, light blue eyes. They really did remind Akira of home. Late nights at work and the constant grind were reduced to nothing in the face of certain fluffiness.

“Ah– don’t dirty your hands even more. Let me go get a washcloth,” Faust gently reprimanded, turning to leave. The cat seemed to notice the intent, perking up and reaching its feet. Its eyes scanned Faust’s retreating form before leaping from the bed, using Akira’s shoulder as a launch pad. Its claws effortlessly ripped through the fabric of their shirt and into their skin as the cat grappled for traction, making Akira wince as they felt the sting. They grimaced, turning their head to inspect the scratch.

The cat mewed innocently as it landed, weaving between Faust’s legs and nearly tripping him. He clicked his tongue.

“Nothing but trouble with you…” Faust said in the cat’s direction, returning to Akira’s side in a few strides to inspect his shoulder. They pulled the neckline of their shirt down, lamenting more over the torn fabric than their injury. Then, they felt Faust’s chilled fingers brush their skin gently, taking over and holding the shirt. Akira pressed their arm against their side in an attempt to make his job easier–whatever job that was.

“It’s fine, just a scratch. I’ll just go wash it with soap and water,” Akira reassured, voice quiet and hesitant to break the silence. They shifted slightly under Faust’s attentive gaze.

“Satillquinart Mullcreed,” he whispered after a moment. Akira felt the familiar rush–

No, that’s not the word.

Faust’s magic was akin to a river, yes. But a river during the middle of summer when the mountains lacked snowmelt to feed it. Not raging, not entirely unforgiving, but not meandering either. Still plenty powerful. Akira felt it run through their veins and coax a sigh from their lungs, gently healing over the cut and taking their worries along with it. What a kind sort of magic, Akira thought.

“Ah… thank you, Faust,” Akira said, embracing the smile that tugged at their lips. Faust pulled his hat down just a touch.

“It was just a small scratch, as you said. Don’t mention it,” he said with an air finality that told Akira that he, quite literally, didn’t want them to mention it. With some effort, Akira smothered his smile for the sake of Faust’s Eastern nature. “I’d still go wash it if I were you. And find Chloe to mend your shirt,” Faust continued. Akira nodded in agreement.

“You’re right. I’ll leave the cat to you for a while, then. Seems like it’s made itself at home under your bed, for now,” they said, heading for the door. They heard Faust’s clothing shift behind them.

“That wasn’t me kicking you out, by the way. I wouldn’t mind an accomplice for escorting it back outside so I don’t get into too much trouble,” Faust managed. “The others listen to you more.”

“Yes, sure! I’ll be back in a moment.” Faust nodded, eyes following Akira, who was suppressing further words of thanks, out and into the hall.

Their tea steamed on the desk in wait.

[bowandcurtsey]

D&D anon here... I did mean "Dungenos & Dragons". Whoops. For clarification the Cleric is like a person who uses magic through holy parying and stuff (a "whiet mage" in JRPGs). It suited Morgen to me. And Barbarians (for the reader) are the ones to take a lot of hits and hit hard themselves.

{1700 event}

So I'm finally here! So... I have no idea What dungeon and Dragons is before this. I did a little R&R and with some help from my mutuals, I learnt a thing or two. But there's really so many variations? Like different website would have different types of characters? I was really confused lmao.

But okay lemme summarise a little for the readers as well... so D&D is actually a game, where you have different characters and roles and they complete quests and battles as a team.. So anyway for this fic:

Morgen is the mage healer

Reader is barbarian fighter

ps: Sorry if my version is different from the one you know!

AU: Dungeons and Dragons Characters: Morgen Faust x F! reader ft Julius Novachrono tw: unchecked works

"hey there, healer~ what's your name?" you asked.

"Morgen Faust." he shook your hand with a cheery smile. But he didn't ask your name back.

"haven't seen you around~" you tried to maintain the conversation with the raven haired man.

"I wasn't from this department." he maintained his smile.

"Let me guess, you're from the thief group previously?"

He nodded.

"why the switch?" you continued to ask, but he just chuckled to himself and shrugged.

What the hell? Is he some kind of introvert or what? But boy oh boy does he look good. sky blue eyes, long raven locks, pale clear skin. His mysterious aura seemed cool and you were intrigued to know more about him.

"Who goes there?!" you met a group of gnomes. Hostile Gnomes.

Morgen let out a small sigh, "why are gnomes always angry..."

You giggled at his joke.

The gnomes attacked all at once, and it was your duty as the fighter and the thank of the party to take hits and fight. Well, you were a raging bull and you never backed down from a fight since day one.

Morgen backed you up quietly, seeing that you were able to handle the gnomes pretty well.

A few gnomes were nothing to you, as they were defeated quickly and scurried away into the bushes, but you were a little beat up here and there.

"you're hurt." Morgen came up to you in the flash of a light.

"This nothin' but a scratch." you waved him off, "let's continue."

Morgen just stood still and healed you, despite your protests of you being fine.

"Are all fighters stubborn, aren't they?" he shook his head a little, "just like Yami."

You couldn't help but laugh, he was right, Yami was indeed unconcerned about his injures all the time.

Out of nowhere, an ambush attack came from behind both of you. There was no time to react so you wanted to stand forward to shield Morgen, but in one swift move, Morgen blasted the perpetrator into half.

Your mouth hung wide open, was this man the definition of perfection? Tall, handsome, powerful...

----

"Why didn't you tell me!!" you questioned your captain Julius when you came back to update him about the quest.

"tell you..?"

"about Morgen! the healer!"

"Tell you what about Morgen, exactly?" Julius was confused.

"That he's so strong and can fight well! I embarrassed myself in front of him!" you covered your cheeks with your hands, thinking about how you were all over the place fighting the gnomes while he fought calmly and gracefully. "I must have looked like a monkey to him, oh lord!"

Julius laughed heartily.

"And also, why did he convert from thief to healer?" you spoke in a hush tone, "isn't his talent wasted as a healer?"

"well, why not you ask him yourself?"

You blinked at your captain who gestured towards the door.

You turned around and you saw Morgen standing at the door, waving at you with his usual polite smile.

You never wanted to dig a hole and hide so badly in your life before. "why are you here!!"

"er.. the same reason as you?" he gave you a sheepish smile, "we were on the quest.. together you know?"

"S-since when did you get here!" you were bursting with embarrassment at this point.

"about the time when you said that you embarrassed yourself in front of me," he gave a little awkward chuckle.

Julius was trying his best not to fall of the chair giggling at this point. "I'll give you two some space.." he said as he left, calling for Marx and Yami to join him for lunch.

"so... you wanted to ask me why did I become a healer?" Morgen asked.

"But you didn't feel like sharing, no?"

"firstly, I got tired of the secret and mysterious life. I used to do it with my twin, but now he's with Yami more, so i don't find a point to do it anymore. And also, being a healer feels rewarding.."

"that's it?" the reason felt so simple you didn't understand why he didn't want to say it back then.

"and also..." he spoke slowly, his cheeks slightly flushed pink, "being a healer means I could go on a quest with you."

"me?"

"yeah, I saw you fight on one of your quest awhile back, when I was on my own personal quest, and I wanted to get to know you." he admitted shyly.

You felt like steam was coming out from your ears.

"To be fair, you were really all over the place when you fought," he let out an endearing laugh, "but I never thought of you as a monkey, I think you fight gracefully as well, as if you're dancing."

You fumbled to find the right words to say. "T-thank you."

"I'll make sure you won't get hurt again, miss y/n." he patted your head and left.

And that was how you met your husband.

Ps: kudos to those who remembered the "this nothin but a scratch" hehe. it was from another fic :P
