He's Scarier When He's Upset...

Annelie: By the way, where are we?

Annelie looks around the facsimile of Lucifer's room.

Lucifer: Inside your twisted brain.

Annelie: ...and... how do we get out?

Lucifer: The way I came in.

Lucifer picks at the distortion in space where he entered, but the moment he does, Annelie groans in pain.

Lucifer: That hurts?

Annelie: It's fine. Let's... go through.

Lucifer: Every time you say 'it's fine', it's never fucking fine.

Annelie flinches and cowers. Lucifer sighs, rubbing his face and taking a long, deep breath.

Lucifer: Look. I'm sorry for yelling at you. I'm not going to deny that I'm pissed at you, but I still love you.

Annelie: You still love...? Why d-

Lucifer: Why? Did you seriously just ask me why?

Annelie yelps as Lucifer turns and backs her against one of the pillars set into the wall.

Lucifer: Every day, you have cared for me with every ounce of your being. Every day, you have looked out for my little brothers. Every day, you make my routine less stressful. Every day, I get to look forward to sleeping with you, making love to you, kissing you, holding you. Every day, I feel your love for me seep into my bones. And you're seriously asking me why I love you?

Annelie: Isn't that... the bare minimum? I've caused you so much pain and trouble and-

Lucifer: Enough! Enough with claiming to know what's best for me! I'm not a child you have to protect! I decide what makes me happy. And what makes me happy is you.

Annelie: ...but isn't your net happiness negative?

Lucifer: Annelie.

Annelie: Sorry.

Lucifer: No matter how many times you ask, my answer remains the same. I have lectured you, time and time again, that you make my life better. How the hell would you react if I told you that I wanted to kill myself because I thought I was making you unhappy? Without even asking you and just deciding for you?

Annelie: No! Lucifer, please don't cry! I'm sorry...

Annelie hugs Lucifer.

Annelie: I know I was wrong, okay? You've made your point. But... it's just... hard. How am I supposed to see the benefits of me being alive when you're so upset because of me?

Lucifer grabs hold of her face in his hands and kisses her violently. She loses balance, and Lucifer pulls her closer.

Lucifer: Annelie, whether you fucking like it or not, you're going to cause me pain. Annoying pain, excruciating pain, everything in-between. That's just what it means when you get close to someone.

Annelie: But-

Lucifer: I can't believe I have to throw your own words back at you, but a relationship is an exchange. I know your stupid fucking friend made you think you had to protect her from your own feelings, but you were children. But I'm not an emotionally unstable child, so don't treat me like one.

Annelie: ...could've fooled me-

Lucifer swats her thigh. She yelps.

Lucifer: I'm not tolerating your mockery right now. Do you understand what I just said to you?

Annelie: I... think so.

Lucifer: And what did I say?

Annelie: That I'm... going to make you unhappy, but you accepted that and it's okay for me to not to be okay with you.

Lucifer: Partial credit but still a failing answer.

Annelie: Are you my professor now?

Lucifer: It wouldn't be the first time.

Annelie flushes.

Don't bring that up now of all times...

Lucifer: It's a failing answer because you neglected to mention that I'm a part of your life, period. That means we share. Share unhappiness, discontent, despair, frustration, anger, joy, happiness, pleasure. I am not saying you lose track of yourself in my emotions or vice versa. I know your empathy takes you to the extreme of putting yourself in someone else's shoes, but that isn't necessary. Stop torturing yourself about how other people feel. Emotions are no more controllable than the waves that you threw yourself into.

Annelie: Lucifer don't push-

Lucifer: You're doing it right now. It hurts, and you're not going to stop it from hurting. You did it. It's done, and there's no changing it. And you'll be apologizing to me for it for at least the next hundred years. You have to clean up your mess and help me with the PTSD you just gave me if you want to stay with me. I'm going to have a lot of trouble trusting you by yourself after this. Understand?

Annelie: Sorry.

Lucifer: I didn't ask for your apology.

Annelie: ...I understand.

Hm, I’m wondering how either Cherrie and Clavis would get along with Sigil?

This is the first time answering an ask so here is how I think Sigil's relationship goes:

Sigil's current host is Socialite, known for being the definition of the Phantom Thief, stole a lot of valuable treasure from Canopy Kingdom, being the ladies' man professionally, and also known for King Franz's arch-nemesis (more like an annoying problem that leaves him a few grey hair strands and almost blasted him with Eroberung for having a good talk with Queen Nancy even if it's friendly-).

Because of that, Sigil gets along pretty well with Cherrie thanks to one of his previous hosts who molded him into a feminist in the past, he can pay her and Clavis a visit sometimes.

He and Sigil are so Fizzaroli and Blitzo coded platonically, the grimoire parasite is used to the yassified fan's flirting and he can invite him over a drink if he wants, Clavis knows the fact that Sigil likes ·−··/·/···−/··/·−/−/····/·−/−· for a long time which he gets tired of him being in denial that he hasn't confess to him yet at all. Boy does the fruity man want to slap his friend's face with support and common sense...When will he just admit it...

[colleenmurphy]

Stomping thudding footsteps signaled that the Master of the Manor was home. Nearly three hours late but Fred was home nonetheless. The Lady of the Manor, as she liked to call herself, otherwise known as Minnie Sheehan-Malone, was thinking of just how expensive the car repairs were going to be this time. Jimmy had to have been drinking at The Club.

The Club. Ugh.

"Think of the family, Minerva. Think of our reputation."

The steady sound of Minnie's delicate chopping on the island block of their cavernous kitchen stopped. Knife still in hand features set and mind ticking like a bomb she studied her husband of nearly thirty-eight years.

"Our reputation can fly the fuck away, Lemual. If reputations were everything I'd have married Jimmy Murphy."

Flicking her knife towards a seat at the small table in the corner she motioned Freddie's drunk self to sit down. The lumbering string bean as she called him these days plopped himself down rather ungracefully into the wicker back chair.

"You're one to talk about reputations considering you're the one that set her up with that Flannery boy. He beat her senseless at the summer house and you blamed her."

All five feet of Minnie was standing on edge now, her right hand still holding the knife in a death grip her rings flashing from under the cold white bulb that hung in the kitchen. Something about being modern, Fred had said when they renovated the formerly beautiful brownstone. Just like everything else in his life Frederick Malone had have the very best of everything. The newest most top of the line..thing. That's all he viewed the people in his life as, that's all he ever saw them as. Pieces of window dressing to help him climb the social ladder. Minnie had had enough.

"Let her be happy this time. You got what you needed from the poor girl."

A look of disgruntled disgust flashed over his once handsome booze soaked features.

"Oh here we go. The poor Mother's Baby schtick. She's twenty-five years old, Minnie! She can't always be your little girl."

Who else had their daughter had then? Fred had missed damn near every event in her daughter's life. Except her wedding to Frank Flannery. He had been 'out of the country' aka in rehab during the divorce proceedings, Minnie had seen to that.

"Well, she certainly isn't yours."

Was her cutting reply that set him off in a blind drunken rage that ended with a pan full of chicken marsala on splattered across the kitchen as she brought a white hot stainless steel pan upside his head after he knocked the knife from her hands. The police had ruled it self defense, the insurance paid out partially and Fred was cremated and scattered at sea without ceremony. Minnie sold the wreck of a brown stone, gave the cash to Colleen and her new lawyer boyfriend - a fiery little prosecutor working for the DA's office named William Edgerley and she was setting sail for the French Rivera. She had someone waiting on her in the Lerins Islands.

Don't Call Me Controlling!

Lucifer: Annelie, you're still shaking...

Lucifer sets a hand on her shoulder, and she flinches.

Lucifer: We're home. You're with your family.

Annelie: I... I'm sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me.

Lucifer: Honey.

Lucifer tilts her chin up and suddenly kisses her.

Annelie: Mmn? Mm... Mmm...

Lucifer pushes her against the arm of the couch, and she falls backward into the cushions. She looks up at him, her lips parted. Lucifer smirks to himself.

Annelie: ...here? In the common room...?

Lucifer: I see someone doesn't need much encouragement to put her mind elsewhere.

Annelie blushes as Lucifer loosens his tie.

Satan: Can you two please keep it in your pants for five seconds?

Lucifer: No one asked you to watch.

Satan: And no one asked you to do that in a shared living space!

Annelie: ...sorry, Satan.

Annelie sits up, embarrassed, and Lucifer tsks, apparently disappointed.

Asmo: Aw, don't apologize, hon; you're a succubus. We all know Lucifer has to satisfy his queen or she'll get hungry~

Belphie: Nmgh... Ew.... Zzzzz...

Lucifer: Yes, I've been neglecting my duties, haven't I, darling?

Annelie glances at Lucifer and has to stop herself from laughing.

He could just be honest, the idiot. They already know what a horny little shit he is.

Annelie: Yes, you have. I didn't get my mid-morning snack or my appetizer for lunch.

Lucifer: What a spoiled thing you are. You're going to get fat.

Annelie: That "fat" will disappear in nine months, I'm sure.

Satan groans, covering his face while his ears blaze red.

Satan: Just please go! Stop rubbing it in!

Lucifer: Then if you will excuse me, I have to attend to my very needy soon-to-be wife.

Lucifer grabs Annelie by the hand and leads her upstairs, into their bedroom.

[ timeskip ]

Lucifer, Annelie, and Diavolo sit together in a small room in the castle. A packet lies in the center of a table.

Diavolo: Barbatos has recovered enough to return to his duties, so he was able to give us an accurate autopsy of the student Annelie killed. The results are a bit...

Annelie pales, and she takes hold of the packet and starts to read it; Lucifer quietly reads with her.

Annelie: "While I am unsure of necessary conditions to activate this ability, it is apparent that Annelie is capable of controlling her target's body to some extent. This includes forced cell death, the misfiring of nerve endings, asphyxiation, and in my own experience, the ability to steal and use someone else's life force. I strongly suspect that Annelie is capable of fully controlling her target's body, and potentially, their mind. "

That's fucking broken. And scary. And horrible. What am I even supposed to do with that?

(Use it)

Lucifer: "I would like to strongly recommend that Annelie is accompanied by at least one capable healer at all times, and under no circumstances should she face severe stress. I trust that while she means no true harm, her magic reserves have grown substantially thanks to my foolishness, and as such, even mild flickers of anger will cause devastating consequences until she is able to adjust."

Diavolo: I'll leave it to you, Lucifer, on whom you choose to appoint. I'm afraid I can't negotiate this. As angry with Barbatos as I still am, I still trust him to tell me the truth when he speaks.

Lucifer: ...I'm not sure if I'm familiar with any skilled healers that I would trust off the top of my head...

Annelie: I think there's a clear choice you're forgetting about.

Lucifer: ?

Annelie: Simeon.

Lucifer: No. Absolutely not.

Annelie: Lucifer, you know that Dia is much more of a threat.

Diavolo: What? Me? Why?

Diavolo looks like he's just been kicked.

Lucifer: Don't ask. And anyway, Diavolo is my best friend; Simeon is not.

Diavolo: Aw... I love you too.

Annelie pinches Lucifer's ear, making him yelp in surprise before he can reply to Diavolo.

Annelie: Do you have a better idea?

Lucifer: ...

Annelie: That's what I thought.

Diavolo breaks the awkward silence as he clears his throat.

Diavolo: So, about that wedding we're having...

Icarus with Burning Wings by Lucianne Lassalle

[dragonnan]

The criticality of “choice” in the Sandman is such an interesting thing when it comes to Dream. It’s most present in his conversations with Hob - “it is your choice how you live your life” / “the choice is yours - would you take that choice from others?”. It also appears in his rescue of Calliope. He doesn’t make a move until he has her permission to act. And, of course, it is present in his encounter with John Dee. There is a repeated thread of choice and how important it is. The fascinating aspect is how Dream doesn’t think he can allow the same for himself. He tells his creations that he does not choose how he lives nor are they permitted to choose to change. There is a blind spot when it comes to being Endless. And when Lucianne attempts to point out that “it wouldn’t be the first time one of the Endless…” he shuts her down immediately. He cannot envision an existence where he gets to choose a different path. However I do think his imprisonment had a profound impact on that tightly held view - though in making him cling to it in seemingly a frantic way. He was deeply affected by the suffering of the dreamers when he couldn’t carry out his duty. And when he fought John Dee it was only the dreamers that mattered - not himself. Choice is crucial except when it comes to himself. Though it’s obvious there are small cracks forming in that view by the end of season 1.

every time I see a non-elezen player describe duskwights as primarily defined by having dark skin, I kind of wince

because no actually, not every elezen with a dark skin color is a duskwight! carvallain and jannequinard are wildwoods! marcechamp, from tailfeather? wildwood. lucianne from the archers guild? wildwood.

and sure, there are a couple of prominent duskwight characters with darker skin- grinnaux (who is technically a modified wildwood with the duskwight version of face 1’s scars) and foulques. but. it’s a weird misconception to have when characters like liavinne, shale, jandelaine, mother miounne, and ysayle exist.

and when the character creation can be accessed by anyone to check this. the only playable race in ffxiv that is divided into clans with dark and light skin colors is viera. elezen have the same range of options as miqo’te! but somehow I never see keepers of the moon described as being distinct from seekers in terms of skin color in the same way as elezen.
