Level One
Dedicated to @completelyshatteredbrokenmschf and @thunderlightning351
Content Warning: referencing human sacrifice, slightly(?) unhinged Barbatos
"Hello, MC." Barbatos' sudden appearance at my side causes me to curse. I know he has the ability to teleport anywhere he wants to, but a little warning would have been nice.
"Apologies, MC," he continues. "I was simply following my instructions. Did you have a nice time with your parents?"
"Y-yeah, I did," I respond, still a little spooked. "We went out to eat at a Chinese buffet."
"That sounds lovely." He wraps an arm around me and guides me to the couch, remaining glued at my side as we sit down. This isn't the first time we've sat next to each other, but he's never been quite this close before.
And then I take a proper look at him. I'm not dealing with Barbatos the butler, but rather the Barbatos that accompanied me to the Severa concert. The one that I told Asmo I found incredibly attractive in great detail.
The Avatar of Lust is playing dirty right from the start.
Barbatos' lips are moving, but I'm not registering a single word he's saying. The parts of my brain that aren't obsessing over his natural scent are short-circuiting due to him being so close to me. One hand rests on my thigh while the other one plays with my hair and gently brushes up and down my arm. It all makes me rather jittery. I'm surprised I'm able to remain still. I want to simultaneously bolt out of the room and--
"You're not listening to me." Barbatos' harsh tone forces me to pay attention.
"I'm sorry. I'm finding it incredibly hard to concentrate." My explanation makes him smirk.
"Am I making you nervous, MC?" I can only manage a nod. "Good. Now you know how I felt when the roles were reversed."
"That's not fair!" I exclaim, remembering the exact moment he's referencing. "You told me to seduce you!"
"And you did, much to Diavolo's joy. He wouldn't stop teasing me about it for weeks." He repositions himself so that he's able to lean in closer to me.
"Once upon a time, you would have been given as an offering." His voice is low and menacing. "Not to the gods, like so many people believed, but to us. We're able to be entertained by sacrificial lambs for a long time. Inevitably, though, they become dull and boring. It's not their fault; it's simply the result of being exposed to sin over long periods of time.
"But your soul is different, MC. Due to the angel blood that flows through your veins, it maintains its brightness despite it constantly being surrounded by sin. Some might even say it feeds off it, making it that much stronger. If it weren't for Diavolo's mission, we'd have so much fun with you." His smile is that of a predator. I should be shitting my pants right about now. That would be the appropriate reaction to having a demon look at me like I'm his next meal.
Instead, I wait with bated breath for his next move. Barbatos tilts his head to the side.
"Of course, that doesn't scare you." he asks. "You find the idea rather arousing, don't you?"
It's messed up, I know. I shouldn't be turned on by any of this, and yet...
"I told myself long ago that I would only use my powers to help Diavolo, but you've made me reconsider that decision many times." He's pretty much on top on me at this point, holding me in place with his body weight.
"Why?" I whisper. He brings his mouth right up to my ear.
"Because the idea of messing with time in order to play with you is incredibly tempting." He kisses the base of my ear, sending a shiver down my spine.
Do not succumb to temptation.
I grab his shoulders and squeeze them as hard as I can, making him pause on his trail down my neck and look up at me.
"I can't," I tell him, despite my body screaming at him to continue.
"Are you sure?" I close my eyes and take a deep breath, forcing myself to answer,
"Yes." I feel him get off me. Seconds later, he grabs my hand.
"It's okay, MC. You can open your eyes." Doing so makes him smile softly. "The first stage of your test is complete."
"Did I pass?"
"See for yourself." Looking down at the ring I slipped on earlier, I notice a mark that I'm pretty sure wasn't there before.
"From my understanding, a tally will appear for every stage you complete successfully," Barbatos explains.
"That makes sense." He walks out of the room, returning moments later with a note in his hand.
"When you are ready, this contains information about the next stage," he tells me, handing me the note. "Of course, you're allowed to take as much time as you need to recenter yourself. I can make you some tea if you'd like." I shake my head.
"I know this might sound crazy given what we just did, but would you mind holding me?" He chuckles.
"Not at all." He stretches out on the opposite end of the couch, and I snuggle up to him. He begins stroking my hair. After a few moments of calm, I gather up the courage to ask,
"Did you mean what you said about time, or was that part of the act?"
"I wasn't acting," he answers. "I merely displayed emotions that I normally keep suppressed. Everything I told you is one hundred percent true."
#obey me shall we date#obey me mc#obey me barbatos#so it was so slow at work today that i started writing this on post-it notes in order to pass the time#for context i'm a retail cashier at an outdoor equipment store#and i was by myself in cashier land for four hours#also#i'm going to include some sort of aftercare after each stage is completed#that way mc doesn't go completely insane from their emotions running wild#i feel like that's something asmo would account for as he's creating this test for mc

i saw that you used to hint at oc stuff on twitter (don't ask me why im digging im looking for zola stuff lmao) why don't you post more about them?
i am simply terrified that if i post oc things online someone will steal the concept and run with it faster and better than i ever could have and then i will be devastated forever and ever
more seriously i have very little to show for any of my oc things (adhd brain making life difficult as per usual awawawawawa) and every time i've shared oc things in the past i've ended up never following up on it and it makes me feel bad and guilty so i've just convinced myself i will Never talk about my ocs until i have something substantial i can put out there
#mio answers things#anon#i'm getting a little better with making things for my ocs#on account of having friends i can actively share my brain rot with#but i still dread the feeling of posting a character and being forever haunted about never doing anything with them ever again#(echoes of custard howling in my mind)#just like how i dread having a repeat of that time in middle school#where i talked about my werecrow oc in the comments of a bigger artist's works#and they ended up making their own werecrow oc immediately after#they very much directly aligned with mine#but it got wildly popular on their account and they made a ton of art for it and i just#ended up deleting any evidence of mine because i felt so bad about it skjdfhgkldhfkgj#like i have no problem with people taking inspiration from my designs#i think it's fun seeing people design vy2s with two toned hair and kyos with pink eyes and hair pins w#but like. the thought of posting my oc and having someone run them through a blender to make their own character makes me feel. bad.#i can't articulate the specific reason Why it makes me feel bad but it does skjfghdkjfgsdhkjf#like if i finally posted theater gang stuff and then saw someone else take those concepts and make them into their own characters#i might just collapse into a pile of beef trimmings and never get up sdfkjhglksjdfg#it's silly and i don't know why my brain's like this but because of this in combination with my fear of posted oc things haunting me foreve#i simply will not be posting <3333#(and also just that. i'm incapable of producing enough artwork to make my ocs matter in a public context i think.)#(like you breed affection for a character through familiarity)#(which you only really get by creating A Lot Of Art)#(and i cannot do that <333)#(so instead most times i post it's a few handfuls of likes)#(and that doesn't really feel worth it to my brain when i could just settle for going insane over them with my friends skjdfhgkjsdf)#i really think this last year has just taught me that i really. honestly truly prioritize the reactions and feelings of my friends#over strangers on the internet#and it feels a lot more comfortable that way w#AH

shout out and condolences to all the bookkeepers, cpas, and the like this 1099/W-2 season
#shitpost#or at the very least condolences to my mother who has not stopped anxiously rambling and venting for like 2-3 weeks#every day i get a run down of all the forms and clients and complications and annoyances she's dealing with#i don't know what any of it means (well. i've picked up context clues)#i'm just her rubber duck engineer style#90% of the time i don't mind but she doesn't always ask before hand and she really tends to ramble#so sometimes i get stuck in 30-60 minute conversations if i just happen to pass her in the kitchen#anyway. shout out accountants and bookkeepers and all you folk

#i have nothing of any real worth to add to whole “tumblr users try to raise the likelihood of families not surviving genocide” shitshow#but i do wanna yell quietly into the void:#EVEN IF EVERY SINGLE GAZAN GFM ON HERE WAS RUN BY BOTS THAT WOULD BE GOOD & FINE! I DO NOT CARE ABT BEING SPAMMED BY BOTS IN THIS CONTEXT!!#to be hatefully disgusted by the pleading of people being actively massacred bc they are using a tool you deem annoying is so deeply fucked#like? yall really think that people trying to save the lives of their families by campaigning online with very little internet access...#...in the midst of genocide would see the ethical line you draw on the ground regarding the usage of bots? or give a fuck about that line?#does this make it more difficult to discern legit accounts from scams? sure! that's why the vetters on here have worked so fucking hard#but regardless of how hard vetters worked (at great cost to their own wellbeings) that still wasn't enough for these racist motherfuckers#it's truly so obvious these fucks dont think of palestinians as human bc if they did they would at least understand the fucking stakes#idk how those people live with themselves. hope hell is real and hot ig#(to be clear: idgaf to speculate about if folks are using bots or whatever it is 1000% a non issue...#...i've just seen it raised by dehumanizing fucks as if bot usage in & of itself was Proof Of Scams and it's so infuriating)

omg i was literally just abt to type out a whole post lamenting the way my childes been unable to run polar star since 4.0 when i got so elated seeing him again that i just impulse pulled aqua in a complete frenzy (22 pity btw we just have sth different im sorry) all bc his aqua build overall has 10% more ER than polar.
and like 10% thats so little you say whats the deal with that. well. so childe wants like 110-120% in self respecting international anyway. but the difference a 10% makes in more particle dry content (which a lot of recent ass abysses have insisted upon being) Really makes that itsy bitsy massive difference in comfiness that u just Cant go back on once ur used to it. so ive just been stuck on aqua its kinda sad bc as good as that bow is. polar is still His signature and also the first 5* sig i ever pulled its Special. also got it twice in one ten pull in 2.2 btw uwu as i said. weve always had something special. but yeah its a dilemma
like. this is even with myself being an enlightened 2p 2p random bullshit go truther and not some 4p HoD/nymph coper (imagine not going by substats and mixed sets everyone point and laugh). my builds for polar just Dont allow for that extra ER very well without losing other stats. and all that. so yeah its mega embarrassing like somehow my fucking neuvillette ranks higher on akasha than him im a fake fan the shame is truly immeasurable.
except then i remembered. a glad circlet i rolled last week. and. well
truly. (singular tear rolls down my cheek) Justice shines upon us today.
WE R IN TOP 1% FINALLY 😭😭😭😭😭 THANK FUCK
the world is as it ought to be 😤😤😤
#yes yes akasha is just a substats dick measuring context i know i know i know it doesnt take the whole picture into account#and yes yes youd rather have 2p 2p include at least one dmg% bonus yes. this might be less optimal than akasha rankings make it seem#BUT. 39 FUCKING ROLLS. TOP 1% . COMFY ER INCLUDED LET ME HAVE THISSSSS#ITS EASILY MY BEST BUILD NOWW#anyway the reason i get so fucked over even w 2p 2p is bc i have ass luck with sands on Any 2p he actually likes.#i mean yea wanderers 2p aight but not w my EM substat rolls 💀💀 also bennett on instructor#but like . bc my sands are so ass i get carried so fucking hard by onset goblets of which up until navias release i only rly had a shime on#the second i rolled that feather and goblet on whispers i was like. on god the Instant i can run those on him. please.#anyway can you believe i thought id get to run those glad pieces on like arle or clorinde. lmaoooooooo His pieces now#even my ayakas 3% akasha rank is like. yeah girl youre borrowing my mans offset sands#anyway. truly a joyful day over here. also fwiw yes i slander nymphs but thats only the 4p. the second it hits strongbox? yeah lets goo#i love himmmmmm international sweep 3 yrs+ and still going#genshin#gaming tag#childeposting

The US in 1968 and the White Album
Comment from BeatlesBible’s Helter Skelter page [x]
#the white album#returning to this album is always a struggle#this really captures it for me#i guess i inherited it#esp the bit about hearing something wrong way before knowing a thing about the bts#saving to find again#1968 casts a long shadow#it's always a hard year to look at even before learning about the bts bug context#tet offensive is generally thought to be jan/feb but stretches into the summer#mlk is assassinated april 4 and rfk is assassinated june 5#protests and riots in between cops being awful to protestors white nationalist wallace running for president and nixon#ugly ugly year that i'm not sure this country ever really recovered from#in many ways our politics still feel like we’re paying for a wrong turn in 1968#1968#mine#helter skelter#beatlesbible#fan accounts#politics and the beatles#american pov#i know they didn't mean half of it to be so relevant it just was#the schizophrenic word usage is fraught and i keep search for a better word and coming up short#(erratic? unpredictable? fractured? disorienting? none of those really capture it. eccentric perhaps tho that could describe pepper too)

Like I don't care for the book, but this post is just an example of one thing that I dislike about the twt -> tumblr communication/transfer.... missing out on later clarifications & added context, and ppl taking it all on face-value
i’m lmfao at this shit
#not unique to twt->tumblr. it happens on the same tumblr post too and all that. but idk.#it's just a little frustrating when things are presented one way and people run with it (& then there's perhaps... consequences & ppl takin#things a little too far)#the fake sample is WILD tho#idk sometimes it feels like people share posts onto here only to further the “outrage” moment cause ya know. everyone got something to say.#it's that... ugh bit of being on twitter. it's so incredibly easy to involve oneself (ex like) in the most random & stupid outrage/discours#makes me feel like I'm going out of my mind sometimes#& the moments when I see the tumblr posts it's typically over on my tl on twt so it's like... “we're still on that?”#which was... I mean you do get *more* news and things quicker and with more context typically on twt unless someone else goes out of their#way to add those to tumblr posts. and I guess that was one of the reasons I even started actually using my twt account. but yea.

The supposed efficiency and effectiveness of fascism was always propaganda: in reality, fascist regimes were deeply inefficient, hobbled by interpersonal rivalry, had institutions weakened or totally subverted by the personalist nature of leadership, and were deeply corrupt and lawless.
So it really, really bugs me how so much speculative fiction and even casual discourse since has taken WW2 era propaganda about fascism at face value, and depicted authoritarianism generally and fascism in particular as an intrinsic tradeoff between the chaos and disorder of liberty and the order of repression. Fascism is not orderly! That was always a lie. There is a reason right-wing authoritarian regimes have mid performance at best and at worst collapse due to infighting and military defeat—they suck at running states!
Democracy is the ideology of order and stability. Democracy provides for stable succession and can sustain rule of law in ways personalist rule cannot. Democracy can create avenues of accountability to reduce corruption that authoritarian (or even one-party rule) could never contemplate. “Democracy is chaos” is a lie invented by fascists to try to discredit liberal principles, and the apparent “chaos” of interwar democracies was often caused by the fascists themselves because they did not believe in liberalism.
I think of this most often in the context of video games about politics where it is assumed that authoritarian governance gives you efficiency bonuses at some cost to happiness or freedom—but I think these mechanics are backward. Fascism and authoritarianism are good for the narrow ruling clique at the top, the people they personally enrich, but they make for brittle and weak states, and they often fuck over even the narrow ethnic group or core citizenry whose will they are supposed to be channeling. Starting World War II was very bad for almost all Germans and Italians!
By contrast political scientists debate if a consolidated liberal democracy has ever deconsolidated, and the biggest challenges to democratic systems of government have tended to come when those systems are illiberal (as before the American Civil War), or being sabotaged by most participants (as Weimar Germany, where neither the left nor the right were really interested in democracy).

Link of the short I'm recommending in the hashtags :0
pls. mlm werewolves when. we r dying over here
I am a lesbian 🫶 this is why I draw so many lesbian werewolves. I’m not a corporation you can’t demand representation from me like that!
BUT ofc I’m going to draw mlm werewolves at some point. Just remember, I’m doing this for free and bc I love werewolves not bc I’m catering to a specific audience lol. There are also soooo many mlm anthro/furry artists out there already holy shit I promise. I may not fill that niche and that’s okay!!
#the following hasthag is from the og post so:#women are already very underrepresented as werewolves let alone lesbians who are werewolves#Not only underrepresented; but you know the meme mocking how they represent males in fantasy species vs females in the same species?#It happens with both werewolves and regular anthro wolves so frequently ToT#It's also duality between that or always attaching to masculinizing the werewolf woman#I'm not against it; I'm myself a girl who likes expressing herself in masculine ways#But bro; werewolfhood is so seen as a masculine concept that a lot of general public portray female werewolves exclusively as masculine#We need more werewolf girls that are traditionally girlie and go big and buff and rock it and they're not portrayed as an evil bait#Shout-out to the indie short Dracu-Date. Yeah; mentioning it in this context might spoil the plot twist; but it's peak u.u#It's a sapphic short BTW u.u#I'm including a link for you guys if you wanna watch it; I never forgot about the short since the first time I saw it :0#Basil Cookie is one of my favourite Cookie Run OCs from the ones I've made not only because of the werewolf bias#I just said: she's a werewolf. Why? And why not? And no matter how much I expand in her story and context;#She's just a chill and cutesy girl who happens to be a werewolf and she's traditionally girly nevertheless#BTW: werewolfhood is not the only concept that is so attached to masculinity thay when making a serious female take it ends being masculine#The “girlboss” stereotype is also portrayed as a masculine looking woman by a lot of media#Mostly mainstream; but they do it. Bro; female characters can be strong; independent and charismatic without looking masculine ToT#As a final note to the admin: seeing so many different werewolves in this account;#From gender; to ethnicity; to how their wolf traits manifest; to what are they doing... It's something I'm very thankful for#Every day I'm looking forward to see what werewolf will I see; and if that day there's no werewolf it's okay; I'll just wait#We all have lives and keeping a daily blog is difficult; it's okay to take breaks when you need it
