#also I have horrible Mammon brainrot :(

[l3viat8an]

Imagine running upto Mammon and throwing your arms around him- tackle his ass!!!- and kiss both his cheeks, quickly, before you kiss his lips <3

His reaction is so cute!!!! His arms immediately wrapping around you, so you don’t fall. His eyes widen at the sudden action and he hesitates for a second before returning the kiss, his cheeks turn bright red as he blushes, trying and failing to compose himself a bit~

Then he’s pulling back just enough to breathe but your foreheads are still touching, "What was that for?! Or did ya just miss me that much, human?...” 

“Just because, I love you!….and I missed you.” you smile and kiss his nose, “Damn…ya really know how to get me with all this lovey-dovey stuff…” and you just giggling before pressing your lips to his again <3

Matchup for @matchaduudls𓇢𓆸𓍯𓂃🖌

Your romantic matchup is…

Simeon!!

- OKAY HEAR ME OUT

- i do not see simeon as a huge tease (some people do from what ive seen) so i dont see him teasing you.

- but oh boy, when you tease HIM, i can imagine that he’d get flustered but wouldn’t like tease you back yk

- he’s not someone who jokes around about everything imo he’s not serious in the same way as lucifer but he’s someone who’s genuine.

- also Simeon is not super chatty like asmo or mammon, but he’s not shy !! i can see him approaching you and formally introducing himself to you.

- i can imagine that you guys got closer because of Luke. maybe Luke invited you over to the purgatory hall to bake with him or he gave you sweet treats and then Simeon happened to be there to supervise Luke (i can imagine that when he starts to develop a crush on you, he uses Luke as an excuse to spend more time with you LMAO)

- okay and you also said that you enjoy reading, which works out becausee Simeon is a writer!! :D

- I can imagine him asking you to proofread his works and also using you or your guys relationship as inspo for his stories!!

- i can see you being his muse in that way:D

- and if you ever draw him or sketch him and he sees, i can see him being very impressed and praising you for your talent !! (and sidetracking but i love your art sm 😭)

- and that actually reminds me, i saw a tiktok a while back where it was like “every artist needs their writer” and that’s you guys.

- i don’t see Simeon as a huge PDA guy, but if you initiate anything with him, he’ll go along with it!

- and i do think one of his love languages is acts of service. if you ever need a favor or help with anything, he will do it in a heartbeat. anything to make your life easier and to make you happy.

- i don’t see Simeon as having a crazy amount of relationship experience before you, but he’s a respectful guy at heart and i know he will treat you with respect and kindness.

- i see him as a very patient and sweet partner. if he ever does anything to upset you, he will absolutely correct his behavior. and likewise, if he has something that he needs to get off his chest, he will communicate it with you.

- now i know you said that you’re looking for someone with a sense of humor and Simeon isn’t a comedian.

- but i do think that he’s unintentionally very funny.

- we all know that he’s horrible with technology, so i can see him making a bunch of funny typos and him being embarrassed and profusely apologizing.

- i can imagine him hearing levi speaking brainrot and Simeon trying to use it but it goes horribly wrong😭

- like for example, i can imagine him trying to say that he’s tweaking bc he heard levi say it but instead of tweaking, he accidentally types twerking LMFAO

- and i can totally see him getting super embarrassed about that

- and finally, Simeon’s cooking isn’t gordon ramsay level but he can cook pretty well (he did mention in a chat too that he’s interested in mini cooking) so don’t worry about not being able to cook!

Your platonic matchup is…

Luke!!

- okay so when you said you like sweets, I immediately thought Luke.

- I think that you guys would get close through his baking.

- I don’t think either of you initiated a convo, he just approached you and gave you some sweets that he baked and you complimented it and he warmed up to you.

- omg and whenever you have a bad day, i can see Luke leaving cookies for you at your door to cheer you up.

- OH and for your birthday, i imagine that he’d bake a little cake for you and write happy birthday with icing on top!! (got this idea from when my friend did this for me !)

- As for the teasing, I think Luke might find it annoying in the beginning but after you guys get closer and Simeon convinces Luke that you mean no harm, Luke won’t pay too much mind to it.

i hope you like it!! <3 also im so sorry i tried to post this TWICE and it wouldn’t let me respond to your ask both times. my tumblr is tweaking out rn and idk why😓

You’ve given me angsty brainrot with HDD rewrite!!! Like I keep thinking about how so much of what MC said are all like… Legitimate concerns that they probably think/thought of but never voice and it makes me wonder how much worse could it be if the MC has more intense doubts and insecurities? If they had deeper issues and doubts with both themselves and the brothers that only got pushed out into the open with the curse?

(Wondering this because my OC has a ton of issues she doesn’t communicate… Stuff that she’s tried to rationalize away or forget that she thought no longer bothers her but comes up thanks to the curse and it comes out horribly because she’s vindictive and would want it to really hurt when she strikes when the curse takes over)

(Also wondering how your OC would take this?? Because in my head the sadism probably manifests differently for each individual because each one’s perception of pain and what hits each brother the worst could be different esp depending on their relationship with them but idk how you see it)

sorry this is long I just like thinking about pain a lot and ngl this has me wanting to rewrite the HDD event too >.>

Iah!

I tried to make sure pretty much everything that was said was actually something MC probably thought about. If the curse just made them say 'I hate you', that might hurt in the moment but it can be fixed pretty easily. Dragging to light real and serious cracks in their relationship means that things will actually need to be addressed. I definitely could've made it worse in some places, but I still wanted to make sure things were salvageable by the end.

That sounds really interesting for Dola... Things that even she thought she was over getting brought up again. I also think it would vary for each individual MC and their specific relationships with each brother.

Duck, my MC, would probably have a lot more to say to Lucifer as their relationship is quite volatile and only really chills out into season 3 (they love each other but it's complicated). Duck isn't usually very aggressive but tends to speak her mind, so I think the curse would have to dig deep for insecurities in her relationships with some brothers - Mammon, Beel, Asmo, and Satan in particular from s2 onwards. There's definitely insecurities there, but they don't come up as much. I think the part with Belphie would probably go almost exactly the same for Duck. Levi's could go the same or take a different turn into his self-deprecating talk.

I would absolutely love to read that, please tag me if you do! I think there's a lot of different ways you could take the curse and what gets dragged up for different characters.

18, 23, and 24 for the meta ask game?

💛 @house-of-laminations

for this ask game!

sweet jess!! it is very good to see you 😍😍😍 i only saw this after i woke up so apologies for the wait :(

18. Do any of your stories have alternative versions? (plotlines that you abandoned, AUs of your own work, different characterisations?) Tell us about them.

ooh baby i think almost all of them do! it tends to be because i basically don't plan ahead At All so my initial concepts sometimes get buried under brainrot...

one more paradox - i mentioned this yesterday, but this one changed DRASTICALLY during writing! you can find the original version of that in this post (q10), and some of my personal hcs about the background lore of it in this post (q20).

thy fair imperfect shade - poor elliott tries very, very hard (hehe) to not impose on sunshine, and his morality crisis was a lot of fun to think about, but i like to imagine that there's an evil!elliott AU out there where he gives in to his fantasies completely and purposely dream-seduces sunshine into being with him...

(...wait, isn't that basically just canon blake? if by some miracle he's tuesday's BA and he does this then i am a genius)

take a sip - [head in hands] i'll be totally honest - they were going to fuck right there in the classroom but i was too much of a coward to write it in 😭 GAVIN WOULD!! he would and i won't apologise for it!! also, freelancer was meant to tip the drink down his front and get him all sticky (to facilitate all kinds of, uh... let's just say licking) but then i couldn't have them skip away still sluuuuuuurping on it, and i really wanted that to be a neat little ending, so alas - it was not meant to be. i've mentioned gavin's penchant for suspiciously-cream-coloured drinks before, and i toyed with the idea of giving freelancer one of those instead of something pink, but eventually i decided that it felt a bit too on-the-nose and was better off as a little bonus detail at the beginning. fun fact: i like to think that the barista who does the wednesday afternoon shift is someone we know like elliott or honey, but don't quote me on that. i know i said that DAMN polycule is implied but not necessary, but i do think that the polycule is a thing in that universe, mostly because a) i want them all to be happy and in love, and b) the, um, diplomatic incident is much more exciting when there's kissing involved.

body contact - full disclosure: the idea of the special couples' valentine's day dance was not in the original plan at all! i put in the line about mammon mentioning "something about a particular dance that everyone is supposed to do in pairs" as just a throwaway excuse for why barbatos might be at the ball as a guest, but it spiralled into a much more exciting concept as i tried to figure out why he might ask MC to dance.

wonderland - the tea party and the final goodbye on the doorstep were last minute additions because i thought it was too short, and it was supposed to fade to black with some sort of flowery happily-ever-after in the hedge maze that they walk past. reading it back, though, it was such a lame ending that i'm so glad i changed it, especially because it meant i got to add in all those extra cute bits at the end :)

rebel flesh - MC was meant to die! like, completely! originally, the plan was for the exorcism to be successful, but MC's body had been too irrevocably changed/damaged by the possession to support itself any more - lots of horrible description of their skull cracking around where the horns break through, fingernails falling out and claws not yet grown in, muscles atrophied and degraded by a body that was starved for energy... fortunately for satan and sweet, orange-scented MC, i chickened out and gave them a slightly more hopeful ending. i imagine two possible outcomes after the end of that series though - one where MC has to learn to live with their altered, half-demon half-human body, and one where their body shuts down because it's incapable of functioning correctly any more.

23. What’s the story idea you’ve had in your head for the longest?

ooh... that's a good one! i'm actually in the process of fulfilling my dreams of a cute swing-dance inspired little something (that's the milo wip that's giving me grief atm), which i've wanted to do for AGES but i've never quite found the right pairing or scenario, so that would probably be the one. they're kind of cheesy, and will probably never happen, but i've also always wanted to write either about soulmates (like, red string of fate type thing), fantasy/fairytale aus (like ivory tower but with an actual original story instead of a retelling of canon) or weddings - unfortunately, i don't think my worldbuilding skills are quite ready for the first two, and the details that i would want to include if i were writing about a wedding don't really fit with the whole keep-the-reader-really-neutral thing... i'd want to describe the clothes and the food and the location and the ceremony, all those sort of things, and that's so variable from person to person and culture to culture that i don't think i'd ever be able to make it work without being so vague that i may as well not bother :(

24. Would you say your writing has changed over time?

YES, because it's not quite as cringe as it used to be lmao - look, if you go back and read net zero (let's face it, you probably shouldn't), you can see that my writing style hasn't changed enormously, but it's certainly developed over time! i still like a lot of the same concepts and themes, and the general rhythm is much the same, but i think it's got a bit more refined and a bit less pretentious as i've written more and more. tbh i don't pay a huge amount of attention to cultivating a specific style - i just kind of throw words at the google doc and hope they stick? so it's cool to see how it has and hasn't changed ✌
