I've realized that in addition to Lucille becoming a Vtuber, this does mean she had to get over her biggest obstacle: TECHNOLOGY

Lucille has always been the classic Old Lady when it comes to tech, she had to be taught how to use a phone and generally be like that 90 year old grandma on FB. However, over the years, to get more believers, adaption had to happen

She's still not SUPER SAVVY, but she knows how to record videos and edit them. Most of her videos are her singing cover songs

Maaaaaybe the first time she heard her own voice on recording, she assumed it had taken part of her soul. Just maybe.

ive had this idea for a visual novel but with famous scientists for literal years. here’s some attempts at actually trying to make something out of it

[isuckatwritingsobenice]

Thinking about…

Alastor and Bill Cipher after the same s/o (headcannons)

Hazbin Masterlist // Disney Masterlist // Navigation

Warnings: Obsessive behavior! Alastor being sadistic, Bill being a bit weird because duh, wrote this with Human form Bill Cipher in mind, mentions of death

A/N: I really like this dynamic, even though it’s kind of crazy and a lose lose situation for the reader, but it’s still interesting to write about. I hope you all enjoy!!

Alastor

• Alastor isn’t just charming; he’s obsessed with making you see him as the ultimate catch. He meticulously plans every interaction, ensuring that you are always impressed and feel valued. Every compliment and gesture is calculated to win your heart.

“Why there’s that smile I love to see my dear! Ever the beauty!”

Alastor can’t stand the thought of you being attracted to anyone else, especially Bill. He tries to mask his jealousy with his usual grace and horribly timed jokes, but it’s evident in the subtle digs he takes at Bill whenever you mention him.

When Alastor is alone with you he’s not above grand, romantic gestures. Picture him serenading you with an old-fashioned love song or setting up a beautiful, intimate dinner where he pours out his feelings and tries to convince you that he’s the best choice for a partner and way better than bill in all aspects of the word.

Alastor’s affection for you is deeply strategic. He genuinely cares, but he’s also careful in how he shows it. He’ll often try to subtly make you see how a relationship with him would be beneficial, not just for personal pleasure but for gaining power and influence. He’s a very strong man and his image is important, what’s not to want about him?

“Don’t you love this view dear? We could be here all the time, if you wished.”

Alastor envisions a future where you are by his side, helping him dominate Hell. His feelings are not just about the present but about creating a powerful, enduring relationship. He dreams of ruling Hell together, and he’s willing to go to great lengths to make that vision a reality.

But not all things with Alastor are good, you know how much he HATESSSS modern technology and well, it’s how the world runs now. this is something Bill definitely used against him

“Don’t get intimated by a big screen deer man!”

Though he hates how Bills joke makes you laugh, his smile tightens nonetheless

Alastor will often put doubts into your mind about Bill. He is partially right, so it does make you wonder…

“What if he were to suddenly get tired of you? My dear, he’s traveled galaxies and destroyed universes. You wouldn’t want to be subject to that would you?”

or maybe something like,

“That little shape is no better than a toddler. He can’t even take proper care of his toys, breaking them when he gets bored. How pitiful.”

Bill Cipher

Bill is intensely infatuated with you. His feelings might come across as chaotic and erratic, per usual, but underneath, he’s deeply drawn to your spirit and individuality. He finds your uniqueness thrilling and wants to be the one to make your life as unpredictable and exciting as possible.

“ Wanna see this guy dance with his eyes hanging out of his sockets? Gotta tell ya’ you’ll never see anything like it ever!”

Bill’s way of showing affection is through wild and flirtatious chaos. He might sweep you into a whirlwind of bizarre, fantastical experiences, always with an underlying flirtation that makes it clear he’s very interested in you.

Bill knows how to push Alastor’s buttons. He often uses his chaotic antics to draw your attention away from Alastor, playfully teasing him and making a show of his own appeal. For Bill, it’s not just about romance; it’s about proving he’s the more exciting option, you’ll never be bored of him!

Despite his chaotic nature, Bill genuinely wants a deep connection with you, even if he does have a weird way of being about it. He’s drawn to your complexity and wants to show you that his brand of chaos can be both thrilling and deeply meaningful. He might surprise you with moments of surprising sincerity.

Bill is not afraid to take big risks to win you over. He’s willing to gamble with the very fabric of reality just to create memorable moments. His love is unpredictable and intense, and he hopes you will find that thrilling rather than overwhelming.

Bill is the type of guy to take you to a different reality for a date, wanna go watch marshans fight? no problem! upset about something? let’s go to this dimension where you can blow anything up!

He’s definitely got jokes though, and he’s good at them too

“Hey furry, why don’t you cut that loose part of your hair? OH wait, it’s your EARS!”

Bill is no fool though, he sees EVERYTHING, so it’s really difficult to hide things from him, which means being with him also means you losing your privacy.

“He’s a sociopath dove, you can’t really believe that radio freak actually likes you right?”

He isn’t wrong, Alastor has proven multiple times he keeps people around because he needs them for something, and Bill loves this

“What if you don’t satisfy him? What if he decides you’re not worth being with?”

or maybe he’ll say

“ You never know dove, what if he’s just after your soul? Maybe he likes the fact you put up a good fight, eh?”

Both demons have their crazies to them. Picking Alastor means Bill might destroy your dimension and maybe rearrange his molecules. But picking Bill means watching Alastor rip hell to shreds at your expense, hurting anyone and everyone to get you, maybe even threatening whoever you love.

Dating Alastor means you can kind of live a normal-ish life

Dating Bill means you keep your dimension

[kaidatheghostdragon]

"You must be Ra's," Tucker stated, careful to keep on a poker face while he frantically assessed the situation - tied down to a chair, in what was probably the heart of this particular fruitloop's lair.

And there was a frankly disturbing number of similarities to the OG fruitloop: the way he stood, the style of his hair, the perpetual sneer.

The way he sent a shiver down Tucker's spine like Vlad used to be able to way back when he was still intimidating.

"Gotta say," Tucker continued, shoving his emotions down like only a human-born liminal that dealt with empathic rogues on the daily could ever manage, "not that impressed. For starters, your vibes are rancid, dude. Like, what do you do, bathe in corruption all day?"

That earned him a slap on the face, "You will speak when spoken to," Ra's ordered.

Tucker witheld a smirk. This guy seemed like the type to order subordinates around to do absolutely everything. The fact that he personally slapped Tucker with his own hand? It could only mean that Tucker was already under the guy's skin.

"Well, that just means I can keep talking since you just spoke to me," Tucker retorted, unafraid of another slap. Really, compared to the abuse he put himself through helping Danny, and the way his liminality skyrocketed in the last couple of years, it was barely even a love-tap. It didn't even sting.

Ra's raised a brow, giving the distinct impression that he was absolutely livid, though that may have been the liminal empathy cluing Tucker in. He'd never been great at reading emotions until that particular ability developed.

"Who do you work for?" Ra's began the interrogation.

Tucker returned with his best affronted glare, "Frankly, I'm offended that you don't believe I could do all this entirely on my own."

"Kill him," Ra's stated as he turned to leave, sounding so unimpressed that it almost seemed bored.

Out of the shadows, an arrow flew straight at Tucker, who slipped his restraints (thank you liminality for giving him limited ghost powers) and caught the arrow before it pierced his chest, "Yeah, no. Imma veto that."

Ra's turned back around, looking almost impressed.

It made Tucker feel way slimier than Vlad could ever hope to achieve. He repressed a shudder. After all, his job here was to keep Ra's distracted while the others invisibly raided the place, destroyed the pits, and planted explosives.

Tucker, being the technopath, would normally stay behind in the chair, but the League of Assassins was well defended against cyber attacks, forcing them to pivot somewhat in order to successfully infiltrate the place. He ended up creating a digital duplicate of himself (a literal duplicate, like Danny could do, but Tucker's duplicate could only ever exist inside of a computer, by all appearances a true AI) that the others could upload to the servers once they found them.

Beyond that, there wasn't much Tucker could do beyond providing a distraction. Sure, the LoA's technology was absolutely worth drooling over, but they didn't rely on it like most of the modern world did. There was no internet connection, electronic locks, or surveillance for Tucker to hack into and make his own. This place was all stone doors and medieval fortifications.

"Impressive," Ra's complimented after a moment of silent appraisal, "perhaps you are worthy of my attention after all."

Tucker scoffed, getting the clear impression that this guy fully expected the ground he walked on to be worshipped after admitting such small praise, "You're not the first megalomaniac I've had to deal with, and you won't be the last." (Team Phantom had an entire list of fruitloops to work through once their LoA financial backing was removed, after all) "I'll give you props for the sweet ninja cult you got going on, though. Gotta say, that's a first for me."

"Assassins," Ra's corrected.

"Same diff," Tucker retorted with a handwave, knowing full well that a guy like Ra's would be miffed by such a dismissal. He further feigned disinterest by examining the arrow he was still holding. Tucker had taken a few archery lessons when he was younger and picked it back up by training a bit under Princess Dora's royal guard. He was... decent, with a bow. He could reliably hit his target as long as he had a couple of seconds to aim - or used something laced in technology that allowed his technopathy to steady it.

The arrow was expertly crafted and perfectly balanced. His heightened liminal senses smelled a substance on the arrowhead - probably a paralytic, not that it would have kept Tucker down for very long, even if it had breached his heart, which would have been a quick death for any baseline human. He tossed it from hand to hand a few times, feeling the weight, the threw it like a dart into one of the nearest shadows. A soft thud echoed through the room when the arrowhead bonked the chestplate of the assassin standing there, then a clatter when it fell to the ground.

"If I had a bow, he'd be dead," Tucker needlessly commented, thumb pointing to the hidden guard. He was somewhat surprised the dude didn't catch the arrow like Tucker had. But then again, if the shadows were meant to fully conceal him, catching the arrow would have given him away from the arrow not making noise or falling to the ground.

"You knew he was there," Ra's stated more than asked.

"And the eleven others," Tucker easily replied, "A full dozen to guard the King of the Cult. Not that it'll make any difference. I've already won."

Tucker didn't have any misconcieved notion that his liminality would give him an edge over a dozen trained assassins. It doesn't really matter how good your senses are or how fast your reflexes when you have to dodge a dozen attacks simultaneously. But what he could do was turn intangible during those first few seconds of adrenaline-fueled panic, more than long enough for either of the Phantoms, neither of which were currently more than a few hundred yards distant, to reach him and drag him away from immediate danger.

So Tucker latched onto that confidence borne of complete trust in his team, and radiated it as much as he could, daring Ra's to call his bluff with nothing more than a knowing smirk.

Lucy, the Brides and Technology

LUCY: "See you hit this button and, ta-da, cute cat filter"

BRIDE 1: "And humans in this era find this interesting?"

BRIDE 2: "Hmm It is strangely compelling, like master's hypnosis but with less mind control required"

BRIDE 3: 'Does this device help with hunting for our eternal nightly nourishment?"

LUCY: "Oh yeah way ahead of you, here's a thing called "Take out" where people deliver to your residence. You'll love it!"

----

An art trade I did with @cupcakeshakesnake a few years back. Wanted one of Lucy, after her turning and joining Dracula, showing the brides technology. Hey they're been couped up in castles and coffins for the most part, gotta get them up to speed on the modern day if they're gonna continue spreading vampirisim =P.

Enjoy!

[gloomyteddybear]

dark fantasy concept

introduction

tw/cw: blood, body horror, mild suggestive, fucked up morals and content that comes with the dark fantasy genre, dehumanization(?);

isekai modern-reader into 'ye olde darke-medieval-fantasy' but instead of into the body of a human to re-create the industrial revolution. put them into the body of a very cryptid/monstrous version of a vamp

at first mc starts like rlly feral, jumbly-instinct thoughts. but as they begin to drink more blood they get more grounded. so basically hunger = madness or smth.

there's also gamer/leveling up/system adjacent things. but only for mc. where it basically counts how much kills they have and it rewards them with skills and its also kinda like a countdown to how many liters of blood they have left until they go bonkers.

since it's the medieval times, technology ain't that good, or most of anything for that matter. it's bad.

since mc is a spoiled city mouse, they rlly want to have modern commodities that only rich people at this time gets. like frequent baths, good infrastructure and basic plumbing. fancy shit like that.

they kinda get obsessed w/ it since its literally the only thing that's familiar and comforting to them so they try rlly hard to get it. either by killing rich people and stealing their houses or building their own spooky mansion by becoming a noble or smth.

it's kinda like those tropes of rich pretty vampire that gets absolutely monstrous w/o blood. with the bright eyes and growling with sharp teeth.

mc really hates when they get feral cause it makes them feel like a mindless monster, not unlike those that gets killed by hunters and mercenaries. so they cope by being as 'civil/cultured/refined' as possible.

absolutely disgusted at the idea of drinking blood, so they keep gaslighting themself into thinking it's wine. prolly has tarps or smth on their table and fancy glasses.

they often come off as arrogant or stand-offish in the 'don't touch me with ur dirty hands peasant' way, but in reality they're just... a paranoid myso/germaphobe.

they're really fancy, imagine ye stereotypical vamp aesthetic but in sleeping robes. just, like, a really comfortable vampire.

and they have really terrifying non-romanticized features as a nod to the feral-cryptid side they rlly want to hide. like the trope of vampire having tapedum lucidum  or unique teeth marks (y's in leeches or patterns)---

---not those sharp and needle-like teeth for puncture that will leave delicate dot-scarring, perfect for symbiosis, self-control and donations. but textured teeth that's obvious that there's no way to stop the bleeding even if you wanted to, meant for gouging and death. kinda like bullet shrapnel or twisted daggers.

but it won't be complete w/out character interactions.

❤︎ mercenary / monster hunter (placeholder: montague )

>kinda like the witcher or mando at first glance. stoic, gruff guy, very tanky but somehow is very stealthy. has a dog trained to smell blood-trails and harmed prey, it is very rotund 'cause of treats. it's name is whinny (a pun, win, whiny, wine(both the drink and the olde english for friend)) like it's owner, the dog find you sus but later becomes attached to you.

>tendencies probably started out in pity, 'damn is this a baby vamp? hopeless. guess i gotta feed them so they get strong enough to be a honorable adversary'. love a guy with a code of honor but dubious morality. but then he got too into it? he finds the fact that a 'monster' has more of a moral compass than him interesting (ur human kill count being lower, disliking torture, etc) lowkey wants to fix you but in a making you better at murder way.

>has a protective dynamic w/ reader but only later on (monty basically wanted them dead lol), brings them lots of prey to feed on (mostly of the bipedal variety, wink wink nudge nudge), if ya refuse to feed there's definitely going to be some tough-love to encourage a healthy diet.

>can be either romantic or familial dynamic. but there's definitively a touch of fear/intimidation on either party.

❤︎ honored guest / your good friend (placeholder: aldwin )

>is either a himbo or really 'cowardly'. the first guy you ever met that you didn't outright attempt-to or kill. kinda milk-toast at first glance. but the only guy you know can't and won't kill you. you often contemplate turning him into a thrall to keep you company for as long as you 'live', (he isn't that opposed to the idea) but often back out because you still have modern sensibilities, mind control bad.

>you often baby him, both in fear of making him scared of you (the smell is fearousel not actual fear) and also because technically he is one compared to you. that's a grown man, he's not actually scared of your mansion he just wants to be near you 24/7.

>sometimes you use him as a juice box, but only after hosting extravagant dinner parties whenever he visits (which is often, on both), making sure he eats enough to replace the blood and too drunk to feel pain. it was actually his idea, managed to convince himself that the dinner is for replenishing and not because you want to celebrate him. the actual feeding is awkward, you refuse to use your teeth and used one of the dinner knifes.

>friend zone/ one sided. mc is in denial/deeply oblivious. can be read as codependent (emotionally).

❤︎ the scholar / the monster doctor (placeholder: boris )

>doctor/physician guy. he has glasses :), someone who takes ur ideas seriously, sees you as a kindred soul, both in the studies and about your nature. has a whole jekyll and hyde situation, his jobs is kinda the reason why he goes awoo in the night. he's surprisingly very soft? mild mannered, polite, a proper gentleman. (whinny hates him lmao)

>kinda a goldigger, first approached you with the intent of having you sponsor his 'research' (monster biology) but later decided to have a collab w/ you. you still treat him as kinda of a sugarbaby still, reserving a special place in the manor to serve as his lab and giving him lots of artifacts and equipment. you mostly do it to see if he has a cure for vampirism (aside from a very painful death), but it's nice to see a very chivalrous man get flustered when it's him being spoilt.

>the wolf side is the complete opposite of his demeanor, feral, bloodthirsty and animalistic, it attacks and destroys everything in it's wake, it cannot harm you due to your strength, but the intent is obvious. it's a very harrowing affair filled with angst, (except the part where you're prepping for the full moon and needing to chain him with silver), you know what's its like to lose control and hurt someone innocent so you always try to do damage control for his sake.

>kinda puts you in a pedestal, sees you as someone out of his league.

❤︎ the oldest servant / elder-vampire butler  (placeholder: aldair )

>kinda older looking in appearance but still pretty-boy enough(? somehow). you didn't turn him, he came with the mansion. he used to be a thrall to someone else but now he's a under your reign. has beef with everyone except monty (prolly teaming to make you less hopeless), specially hates aldwin. he's less alfred, more sebastian/claude or ron molan(TCF).

> it's not exactly known why he's loyal, considering he wanted to kill his previous sire and you don't treat him any better (by your standards, vampire culture is weird). maybe it was the way you just... 'subdued' it and allowed him the pleasure of killing his torturer? causing some weird begrudging-debt turned devotion, that or the fact that you are not a pureblood---or at least act like one.

> kinda thinks ur a spoiled wimp but still spoils you. way too knowledgeable abt your habits, you stretch out a hand and he's already putting a glass of 'wine' between your fingers. you shift in your seat? he's already getting you a footstool (mostly an unfaithful servant or a prisoner), you accidentally tear out someone's throat? he's already collecting their blood in bottles, cleaning the crime scene and creating your alibi.

> you're deff being primed for something. maybe related to the dozens of bottles (and sacrifices) in your cellar.

[jayviknation]

I am in love and obssesed with this man so since he’s on my mind 25/8 here is~

❣️Jayce Talis Headcannons Pt 2 ❣️

- [ ] Reptile

This man absolutely has a pet reptile, I picture a leopard gecko or bearded dragon but some cold blooded creature he stumbled across in a random circumstance is his little buddy

- [ ] TikTok

Would just adore social media like TikTok but would constantly be late to the trend and it’s never cool when he’s doing it

- [ ] Technology

While on the topic of TikTok this man would absolutely be shit with technology but would never admit it. All the most updated modern gadgets? He owns them- but he can’t use most of them due to pride (Viktor makes fun of him and uses them for himself)

- [ ] Video Games

In a AU where piltover has the same games as us I can see Jayce as someone who plays FPS (Think fortnight, COD, and only plays these games with VI. They’re both terrible) OR secretly will play visual novels in his free time

- [ ] Games

Talking just regular games I think this man would be a pro at Jacks, Dominos, Yahtzee, but would be terrible at like Sorry!, Monopoly, Life (he’s a sore loser too)

- [ ] Favorite Food

Given who we’re talking about here this man has gotta love anything with PROTEIN, but I also think he loves a sweet treat like a small ice cream or slushy after dinner everyday (it’s like a reward)

- [ ] Tattoos & Piercings

So I think Jayce would act above tattoos and piercings seeing them as something scandalous done in the undercity but I also think he would have one too many drinks with Viktor or Mel and would end up getting one where no one can see (teehee what do you think it is?)

- [ ] Cats Or Dogs

While Jayce is very puppy coded himself I see him as a cat person, having a cat would help balance him out (would get a puppy with his partner tho)

- [ ] Windows

For some reason I feel like Jayce is always entering rooms thru the window, I think it was a joke at first but now he���s just to committed to the bit and pushing it as far as possible

- [ ] Pyromaniac

Controlled fires are preferred but our young scientist would be lucky if he could keep more than 25% controlled so he’s learned to love the unpredictable ride of a fire

- [ ] Sick

This man is a doting husband when it comes to someone being sick around him (soups, hugs, blankets, the full shabang)

BUT

if this man is the sick one he might be actually DYING (or at least he’s convinced himself that) luckily he never gets sick

- [ ] Weather

Is a sunshine boy all the way but love a cool crispy rainy morning to help get himself relaxed and motivated to work

- [ ] Movies

We’ve talked about how this man doesnt really like movies BUT if he did his favorite genre would be animated movies or horror (he likes to be jump scared but will never admit it)

- [ ] Sleeping Position

Completely sprawled out or completely balled up cuddling himself and there’s no in between for this boy

- [ ] Pet Peeve’s

Pen clicking (he didn’t know this until Viktor), chewing with your mouth open, violence, and for a reason I wont elaborate on - Milk

- [ ] Something they like to do that may surprise others

Ballet! I headcannon he used to do this with a young sibling or Cait because they were shy when starting and then got INVESTED

- [ ] Perfect Vacation

This man is a workaholic, he would love to just be in a peaceful environment where we can tinker on his designs in quiet but he’ll take a beach day as a second place

- [ ] Bad habits

NAIL BITERRRRR, messy with laundry (immediately throwing his socks anywhere as soon as he gets home), forgets to eat until his body starts lagging, teeth clenching, eating too fast

- [ ] Swearing

I can’t ever see a situation where he would be cussing unless it was high tension, maybe when he gets really close to someone he’ll use a couple but its not in his daily vocabulary by any means

- [ ] Alch or 420?

I cant imagine this man doing either HAHA, he’s smoked weed at least once to try to get the hype and will have a drink in a social gathering but neither of these are his thing

[scaredycatqlt]

Alastor x lithromantic reader??? I thought it would be silly, or if you're not okay with that how about queerplatonic headcanons with Alastor?

Alastor X Lithromantic! Reader [PLATONIC/QPR]

Phew, thank GOD. (Or Satan ig.)

If you have romantic feelings towards him but don’t want them reciprocated? That’s the reaction he has. as long as you’re not trying anything, you’re good and he doesn’t care.

If the feelings are for someone else? He honestly could care less.

Since he’s from the 1940’s, he definitely doesn’t understand all the labels and stuff, but he wouldn’t judge.

I mean, he’s literally AroAce. How could he?

Doesn’t understand why you feel romantic things but don’t want them reciprocated. Just…confuses him. Doesn’t really care though, it’s none of his business after all.

Honestly I don’t think it would have that much of an impact on your guys friendship/QPR.

Oh, also, he wouldn’t call it a ‘QPR.’ He doesn’t even know what that means. But, in a way, that’s kinda what it is.

Contrary to popular belief, I do think he’s not completely touch-repulsed, considering how much he touches other people. (Coming from a touch repulsed person over here.)

He just doesn’t like being touched. For one, he doesn’t like not having control over things. ESPECIALLY what touches him.

but with you, he doesn’t really care. Now you can’t go playing with his hair or anything of the sort, it’s kinda like Rosie-how he lets her touch him and is chill with it.

MUSICAL NUMBERS TOGETHER!!! You guys definitely had atleast ONE. If you’re his platonic partner you have GOTTA love theatrics of SOME kind.

Introduces you to Rosie. Afterall, you two are some of the few demons closest to him. You and Rosie get along great!! ^^

Speaking of which, you three occasionally have like-a tea party together where you basically just gossip and shit talk other demons.

You guys might get mistaken for a couple with how often he hangs around you at the hotel. Anytime someone mentions it he just laughs it off.

Oh, Also, being his close platonic partner means extra protection. NO demon is going to touch you without facing HIM. (Besides Charlie and the others, of course.)

He’s more quick to ‘forgive’ (ignore) things you do that he’d typically slaughter other sinners for. Like accidentally bumping into him or something.

“Oh don’t worry about it, dear! Accidents happen.”

At a certain point, he trusts you with his staff. Ofc you don’t just go waltzing about all day with it, but he doesn’t mind if you hold it.

If you have a phone or piece of modern technology, don’t use it around him unless you want extremely petty comments and glares at said device. He doesn’t want Vox anywhere NEAR you. He also just doesn’t like them. At ALL.

I REALLY enjoyed doing these!!! <3 Alastor is my favorite character, and he rarely gets the nice, accurate AroAce representation he deserves!!! >:/

[chocolatechubby]

Going through all of my old pics, and finding the ones that I always wanted to morph, but never could get quite right. Now with all of the incredible AI available--I'm doing them again. Modern technology: gotta love it.

[moonbyulsstuff]

I loved the Sovieshu x male reader !

Now I want to see them being lovey dovey and reader using his magic to help his boyfriend lessen his work and being a badass whenever someone tries to flirt / mess with his lover

I Won't Let Him Steal You From Me.

Male Reader

Requested

Request Rules.

Masterlist.

Ever since that day when [Name] came back, Sovieshu has been happier than ever. Being able to see his lover everyday and bring back trinkets back from his own world, and just being able to see his face was more than enough to make Sovieshu day much better than ever.

And of course, [Name] would help with Sovieshu works so he could do them much faster so that they can spend time with each other. It was obvious to everyone that the two were deeply in love with each other and will do anything for each other, and today [Name] had promised Sovieshu he will bring him to his world, Sovieshu was scared and excited to say the least. It was a new world after all, he doesn't know anything about [Name] world, but he was excited to know and see the world where his lover lived throughout his life.

"Ready sweetie?" [Name] asked Sovieshu, holding his hand softly, rubbing his thumb over the his knuckle. He smiled at [Name], nodding his head. "Yes, I am ready... though a bit nervous." He said as [Name] chuckled* "It will be alright, I promise. I will be by your side throughout." [Name] said as Sovieshu nodded, he took a deep breath as they went through the portal.

Sovieshu felt dizzy as the world spin around him, everything surge past him. He held [Name] hand tightly before he felt everything stopped, he opened his eyes and saw that they had arrived in [Name] world, they were in the room, he looked around and they were a ton of books on the shelf, a huge window, a nice bed and a desk.

He presumed that this was [Name] room. "We've arrived." [Name] said chuckling a bit seeing Sovieshu expression of dizziness. "Dizzy? Don't worry, I felt dizzy too when I first started transporting through worlds." He said as Sovieshu nodded, [Name] let go of his hand and went to his closet as Sovieshu admired the room.

Sovieshu sat down on [Name] bed, it was comfy. [Name] then came back out of the closet with clothes he usually wore in this world, he then threw another pair of clothing towards Sovieshu who caught them.

"Wear this, so that you won't stand out like a sore thumb. Nobody usually wear those type of clothing here in my world."

He nodded and took off his clothes while [Name] stood there and watched, a small smirk on his face as he watched his boyfriend change clothes. After Sovieshu finishing changed into the clothing his boyfriend gave them, he saw the smirk on [Name] face. Sovieshu chuckled.

"What are you doing?" Sovieshu chuckled as [Name] shook his head and approached him, wrapping his arms around him. Nuzzling his face against the crook of Sovieshu neck. "Nothing, just admiring my handsome boyfriend." [Name] said which cause Sovieshu to chuckle.

After that, [Name] showed Sovieshu show what his world was like. Modern technologies with magic, it was such a different world from his. The way the place looked to the way people dressed and people's job, it was fascinating to Sovieshu.

"[Name]!" The two turned around as [Name] dreaded seeing the person. "Hey... Lorenzo..." [Name] greeted as the guy named Lorenzo stopped right in front of them and chuckled seeing the expression on the H/C haired face.

"What? Not happy to see me?" [Name] rolled his eyes before Lorenzo looked at Sovieshu beside him. "Oh la la, who is this handsome fe-" Sovieshu's eyes widened when he felt [Name] hand on his waist tightened and pulled him closer, glaring at Lorenzo.

"My boyfriend, Sovieshu." He said, making sure to emphasize the boyfriend part to Lorenzo who chuckled and rolled his eyes at [Name] obvious jealousy. "Don't get your panties a twist [Name]." Lorenzo said only pissing [Name] further.

"Well, gotta go. See ya." The blonde left as Sovieshu looked at his boyfriend, [Name] was still pissed seeing Lorenzo which made Sovieshu curious at their relationship. "Who was that?" He asked as they started walking back to [Name] house.

"My ex boyfriend." Sovieshu's eyes widened. "Eh? Your ex?" He said in disbelief as [Name] nodded. "Yeah, he almost was a flirtatious man that couldn't stop flirting with other people. I broke it off." [Name] said as Sovieshu nodded but he a felt a little jealousy.

"Don't worry." He looked at [Name]. "I don't have feelings for him anymore and I'm sure I won't let him steal you from me." Sovieshu heart fluttered as he chuckled, smiling happily at him. "Yeah, he won't."

It feels like you want to do torniqets

The leading cause of the preventable deaths in an emergency is uncontrolled bleeding.

Tourniquets can be used on limbs (arms/legs) and are for uncontrolled arterial bleeds. That's your bright red pulsing and spurting blood.

Uncontrolled bleeding is the first thing you will address after being sure there is no danger. It is important to stop that blood before you do anything else. Once you get the tourniquet on, you must write the time you applied the tourniquet on it or on the body part next to it in permanent marker. You must also write a "T" on the forehead, so if the limb is covered by blankets, emergency personnel know there is a clock on it.

Choosing your tourniquet:

There are 5 main kinds of Tourniquets, each with their pros/cons.

The most common and well liked tourniquet is the CAT (specifically the Gen 7) It's designed for the military, it is straightforward and easy to apply, it works well every time, and it can be done to yourself if needed. It will get the job done. Love it. My recommendation.

Then you have the Sof-T. It's a lot like the CAT but worse. (Fight me.) It looks nicer but it's less practical and slightly more expensive.

RATs is another one. This one isn't at all like the CAT, it instead is more of a elastic band material that you loop through an end piece to lock it off. The RATs is a little bit cheaper, around $20 The RATs will cause more nerve damage and pain though, because it is pinching it off with a much narrower band. However, because it doesn't have a huge stiff plastic windlass and locking mechanism, it's incredibly flexible and much more comfortable and practical to have in the pocket or a purse than carrying a CAT.

SWAT-T is another type. It's like an exercise elastic band and the instructions on how to use are printed right on the side. It's not easy to use. I don't think this tourniquet is worth your time.

The STAT is the last kind. This is your set it and forget it. It can be a little harder to get full tension on it, I still far prefer the CAT, but this goes on like a zip tie. You slide it on, pull it tight, and press the button. It automatically records the time itself, you'll just have to put a T on their forehead. (Write it in blood if you gotta.) The easiest of all the options for sure. If you want a tourniquet, don't really want to learn how to use one or the others are intimidating, it's a pretty good choice to throw in a first aid kit, backpack, or glove compartment.

NEVER get your tourniquets off Amazon, there are a LOT of counterfeit tourniquets on Amazon, and a counterfeit one will not have the right materials to hold pressure. North American Rescue is where I get my tourniquets, but there are a couple reputable medical supply companies. My Medic is a good site.

Normal belts can not be used as emergency medical tourniquets. I don't care what the movies told you. Drugs? Maybe. Stop the bleed? No.

I'm not going to get into what to use for a makeshift tourniquet, but you can find a tutorial online. It just won't be as effective, fast, or easy as a proper one is.

I personally carry a RATS tourniquet in my pocket at all times and have a CAT tourniquet on the passenger sun visor of my car.

-

Practice with whatever brand of tourniquet you are getting. And look up the best way of storing it to grab it and deploy it easier.

You will know the Tourniquet is tight enough because all blood flow to the limb will stop. There will be no more blood escaping the wound. Once blood flow is entirely stopped, the limb is actively dying. There is a limit to how long the limb can go without bloodflow in which the doctors can save the limb, otherwise the limb will be amputated at the tourniquet line.

Wwith modern technologies, it is hours before the limb is a gonner.

The military goes "high and tight" meaning whatever limb needs a tourniquet, they strap that thing on as high on the limb (close to the heart) as possible, fast easy mindless because they have a support team that is likely to get this person back to medical before anything happens.

If you don't know when your extraction will be (how soon you'll get medical attention) it's usually recommended you put the tourniquet roughly 3 inches above the wound (making sure you don't apply it to a joint like the elbow or knee).

Be warned, the tourniquet quickly becomes the most painful part of their body as it is crushing the nerves. They're gonna want to rip it off, you have to keep them from pawing at it and potentially undoing it.

-

I recommend getting a bright color tourniquet. Black is fine if it's what you have, and it can look cool, but you want people to see the applied tourniquet as easily as possible and bright flashy colors are the move for that. Attach a sharpie to your tourniquet! Just take a sharpie, put it in the case with the tourniquet or just in the same place. You'll want to be able to write the time and the T and it's easier if they're together.

my natlan review that nobody asked for

(contains spoilers also I'm a little hater)

I really want to like Natlan as it was one of the nations that I was more curious about (second to khaenriah), pyro is my favorite element and the premise was so good being a secluded nation with dragons and volcanoes, you know what I mean (and also as a Latina, I was pretty excited to see the cultural elements) But so far I have mixed feelings on the story, leaning more to a dissapointment more than a sucess..

The characters are good, but they are not charming. There is a certain appeal missing that others did have (in contrast with Fontaine cast for instance, Natlan´s just bland) but maybe that´s just me.. or they get overshadowed by the design quality. I fail to see uniqueness when it comes to the personalities and that makes me not care for them as much? I´m really trying to though, but so far it´s only "I guess this is happening now" kind of situation and following along until it takes off (hopefully).

I gotta say despite all criticism regarding her design, I did like Mavuika a lot from the PV. She looked promising and I´m all in for the baddie look, but upon meeting her I´m just not quite convinced. I´m torn between "we just don't know her well enough yet, there must be some revelation" to " she is just a good archon". There some aspects that leaves you 🤨 like the fact she was so open and trustworthy from moment 0, we get to look into her plans, even though she did pretend at some point it was quickly cleared up... I wonder if this Good Archon thing is just them setting up her eventual death so it hits deeper? One thing I liked a lot: Her human background (it was so funny when they brought up the fact that humans can ascend to Gods, like.. I haven´t seen it mentioned since fricking Mondstat) getting to take a peak into her life as human and her family was just!! I love this!! There is definetely a lot of potential for her in this regard which hopefully won't get wasted so we will have to see. My only fear is if it´s another I sacrifice my life for my people again... please give something else I swear 😭

On the other hand Capitano was a treat for the most part! I'm curious about how the whole fighting for Nathan plays out since he is so fond of it for some reason. The fight was pretty good. Please don't ever reveal his face.

Notes on the overall aesthetic: This is more of a nitpick but since I´ve seen a ton of people talking about it, the clash between medieval/fantasy and scifi and traditional is just a no for me. It does feel Original, it stands out, but I would much more prefer it if it was another game?? a stand alone? I feel like the differences with previous nations is just abbysmal in a way that feels out of place. There are some settings you would look at and think even if it's not aesthetically pleasing in the whole picture is still "on brand" but I just can't get used to it. I would understand if this was an universe like star rail where there's interestellar travelling, you can expect to see a wide range of technology and fashion and so on. But genshin's just.. they are all on the same continent with literally no barriers except Inazuma Why are you like this lol. I'm thinking about how Khaenriah would be portrayed as the peak of technological advancement when Natlan gets to have all this flashy fashion and motorcycles 😭 (I get that the genshin concept of modernity doesn't comply with our irl concept of modernity but it's still aughjhh) the sight of rider Mavuika is just crazy.

Likewise with Fontaine the landscapes didn't cause me an impression so I don't have much to say about it other than it's ok overall, but when I got to see Ochkanatlan it was.. now this is it!!! I'm not sure I can be objective bc I'm a sucker for abandoned and eerie places, being a whole different vibe from the tribes I think I would have preferred the whole nation followed this aesthetic instead (maybe more lively since people live there) It sparks a good balance between ancient and modern, with just a good measure of the genshin fantasy. Also the music goes particularly hard here?? Completely biased but the world quest here entertained me more than the archon quest so far so I don't know how to feel about this fact. Please consider @ writer team.

I can´t talk much about the representation bc this is a very personal matter being inspired from several countries and cultures, what I saw it´s interesting and I guess novel? but since the story and characters don´t follow it just feels empty (overall, I try not to give much attention to this aspect bc it would completely ruin the experience for me) I'm just tired.

Tldr; I was expecting way more than what is so far and I'm not sure it can saved 😭🙏

[stupidstrawberrystars]

I’ve decided that my WIPs should be somewhere. This is wolfstar, modern au (where Sirius and James have a tiktok account). It was supposed to be multi chaptered (basically just gonna be Wolfstar doing couples trends on tiktok, but they’re not actually together yet), but I only fully completed the first chapter. But it’s just rotting away so here, it’s about 1k.

I’ve made this a thing now so;

Next

Their video went viral two months ago. Sirius and James precariously attempted to pet a pigeon. Gotta give the guy credit, Pete’s great at dares. 

He recorded it all, planning to use it to blackmail the two in the future. Nothing like friendly bullying between mates. And he got some good footage, a pigeon did fly in James’ face and Sirius stepped in poop, but then Remus just had to help.

He went to the shop and grabbed some bread. So they could lure a pigeon in. And in a shocking turn of events, they managed to pet one eventually. 

They posted the video as a joke.

It took the algorithm only a few weeks to hit all the UK uni students currently withering away behind their desks.

And soon Pads and Prongs went viral. 

And so as James and Remus crashed through uni, Pete cruised through his internship as a sous chef, and Sirius desperately search for artistic inspiration, they kept an online presence too.

Sirius and James documented their crazy days of boring work and painting, and entertained their fans with late night lives at their flats and short tiktok clips of dumb pranks. James’ hair was pink for a week. It was hilarious.

The internet was quick to fall in love with James’ long distance relationship with Lily. Pete popped up to show off his cooking sometimes. Remus appeared in the background sometimes. Sirius finds it unbelievable that he hasn’t realised how much the tiktok book girlies already love him. 

And that’s what lead to last night. The marauders, a nickname from school and therefore an embarrassing inside joke, are all huddled in the small living room of James and Sirius’, eating Pete’s cake and cuddled under blankets. Their live and just chatting with the fans, relating over awful projects and difficult teachers. 

“Not that this cake isn’t amazing, but does anyone want actual food? I could order takeaway since clearly none of us want to get up and make shit.” It’s a good suggestion from James, but Sirius isn’t really hungry.

“Yeah i’d have food mate.” Remus agrees and then so does Pete. 

“I’m good i’m not hungry.” James shoots him a vaguely sceptical look, and asks him if he’s sure.

“Yes i’m sure James.”

They decide on simple fish and chips. Usually they get something, as James would say, with more taste. But the chippies the only place that’ll bring them food and not take more than two hours. It is a Friday after all. 

Since they’re using James’ phone for the live, Remus takes his phone out and takes Pete and James’ order.

So they continue along chatting and rather quickly the questions about Remus, who’s been pretty quiet all evening, increase from about 50% of the comments to 75%. 

“Just appease them a bit Lupin.” Remus glares at James for that. 

“I have no clue what the people on your phone want to know about me James.”

Remus has a tendency to refer to technology as if he’s a grandpa who understands nothing beyond a radio. Sirius has heard people call it annoying but really it’s just endearing. At least to Sirius.

“How about that book you read Moony? Red, White and Royal Blue? Apparently you were caught making some choice expressions while reading in the background of me and James’ last tiktok. Did you like it?”

Remus gives him a disapproving look, likely annoyed at Sirius’ question. Apparently books need more detail than just a simple, yes it was good, or no it was not.

“Well… okay do your phone people really care about my opinion?” Remus turns to James. He replies that yes they obviously do. The comments are going crazy over having Remus’ attention.

“Fine. I enjoy Casey McQuiston’s writing style. I thought it was entertaining and I really liked how Alex and Henry complimented each other. Henry was able to calm Alex and Alex’s able to reason with Henry when he’s struggling.” 

Sirius looked blankly at Remus.

“Oh come on Moons. You spent like 2 hours explaining the whole book in depth and going on and on about your favourite characters and lines. Your book is annotated all over. At least share with the audience your favourite quotes.”

Remus sighs beside Sirius. Sirius really wants to hear these though. Remus seemed to love the book and Sirius often finds listening to him describe something he loves is always majestic. He details it all with elegant words until you’re eating out the plan of his hand. 

“I guess I thought it was pretty funny when Nora said, How did I know I was Bi? I touched a boob. Wasn’t that profound.”

“Remus.” Sirius whines.

“Oh fine. There’s a tone of quotes from that book I love. There’s I love him on purpose. Or he tells his too fast brain: don’t miss it this time, it’s too important. I- erm- I guess I also kind of love this thing Henry says, it’s like And I thought if someone like that ever loved me, it’d set me on fire. But then I was a careless fool and fell in love with you anyway.” Remus has not taken his eyes of Sirius once as he quotes this beautiful book. How does he remember those lines just of the top of his head?

“You know what though,” His voice takes on a soft tone. The one he reserves for kids, animals, things he loves, and sometimes Sirius. If he’s in a good mood. “my favourite, has got to be When have I ever, since the very first instant I touched you, pretended to be anything less than in love with you?” Remus’ eyes are rich and deep and chocolate. Sirius wants to paint them. 

“Moony!” James interrupts their eye contact. “Now they’re all gonna be in love with you, damn it.”

Remus chuckles and glances to the side.

“Doubt that Prongs. But yeah I loved the book. Oh and erm- food should be here soon by the way guys. Just got the notification to say it’s on its way here.”

Remus then clearly decides he’s done enough socialising with the internet so he grabs his current book, Song of Achilles, and carries on reading. 

And of course, because he’s so easy to deal with already, Sirius’ stomach, as if it has a mind of its own, decides now is the time to become bloody starving.

He glances guilty at Prongs, who furrows his eyebrows as if to ask what’s wrong.

“Hey Moons,” Sirius raises the pitch of his voice slightly to warn Remus he’s about to be a bit annoying. Remus glances up, squints at him and tilts his head.

“Remember when I said I wasn’t hungry?”

James bursts into laughter and Pete chuckles. But Remus just goes back to his book. And once the laughter dies down he, without even lifting his head from reading, tells Sirius,

“Idiot. I know. I ordered you food when I ordered ours. I know you. I knew you’d be hungry.” He rolls his eyes but goes straight back to the book.

The entire internet sees Sirius’ doe eyes but Remus does not. It sends James up the wall.

Ask Me Questions!

Hello! It is I, Alastor the Radio Demon! Angel Dust came up to bother me this afternoon, as he so often does, and told me to make this thing he calls a 'blog' on 'Tumbler' in order to converse with people, and I begrudgingly agreed. Specifically, he wants you all to ask me questions through some sort of inbox. They can be questions about anything at all, it's completely up to you!

As for explanation, I was originally going to leave it at that, but he insisted that I add our earlier conversation for context. This is the exact type of scenario that radio is better suited for, but I suppose this will have to suffice. He also taught me how to change the text's color to be more pleasing to the eye. Now, from my recollection, it went like this

Angel: Alastor, you gotta make a Tumbler account!

Me: A what?

Angel: It's an internet thing

Me: In that case, I want no part of it

Angel: No wait, it would be just like your old radio broadcasts!

Me: The fact you'd try to compare the art of radio with modern screen-based technology astounds and offends me

Angel: No really, it's just like a broadcast, except it's in text form. Besides, knowing people these days, it would get you a much bigger audience. And come on, it'll be funny!

Me: Funny for who?

Angel: All of us! Including you. Listen, people there say insane shit to each other all the time. It'll be like the purest form of entertainment or whatever the hell you said before

Me: Somehow, I'm doubtful. But in any case, fine. I will give your tumbler technology a shot.

Angel: Ha, great! Plus, you know, I hear people on there love to be violent just for fun

Me: Violence, you say?

Ahem, and just one more thing before I sign off! Certain others here are telling me to tell you that just because this blog thing is named after me, they are also just as open to answering your questions, so don't forget to let us know who you're meaning to ask. If it's not specified, I will simply assume you're talking to me! So you know and don't get confused, here are the people who are currently available for questioning:

Alastor (Me, of course!)

Angel Dust (According to him, it's 'only fair' because it was his idea)

Charlie

Vox (Apparently he's too insecure to not get involved in every little thing)

Now, with all of that said and done, I patiently await your questions and requests!

Signing off

~Alastor :)
