~♡ All Night Long ♡~
(( Day #7 )) Barbatos, Lucifer, Mammon, Simeon x Reader
A/N: Doyoung’s beautiful voice motivated me to write.. sigh where my nctzens at? ((im sorry i just liked ay-yo soooo much)) anyway... i hope you all enjoy~
SMUTTT // NSFWWWW ((some characters have k!nk warnings lol, some have fem!reader -all listed below-))
WC - 2,049
~~~
Barbatos
Barbatos never understands your attempts at seducing him.
He fully understands the swirl of desire in his gut and the tightening of his boxers but, not why you do it. You know entirely too well that the demon will give you the world if you just ask.
All day, he kept catching you bending over in the shortest skirt he has ever seen on you, giving him an entirely full view of the pretty panties you have on. The butler would have been worried if not for the fact that it was only the two of you inside the castle right now.
Had Diavolo or any of the brothers been around, he would have locked you away in his bedroom and hoarded you to himself much like a dragon and its treasure.
Regardless of his confusion, Barbatos enjoyed your teasing. It made pleasuring you so much sweeter.
“Do you know who I am?” Barbatos watches with a certain fondness as he runs his fingers along your clothed slit, each brush of his knuckles against your clit makes you jolt against the bed. From where he has you pinned to the mattress, all you can do is fondle the sheets in your hands. “I cannot be seduced as easily as the next demon or mortal man,” Despite his words, his cock aches at the sight of you. He can feel a gush of precum spurting in his boxers as he rubs one singular finger underneath your panties. “yet, you have me bewitched.”
“What have you done to me, (Y/N)?” Pure desire lights a fire in his chest as he lowers to his knees and pulls your hips so that your lower half rests off the mattress. Your squeak is muffled by the thick duvet.
Barbatos pulls your panties down without second thought and gives himself a mere moment to stare at your bare cunt. All it takes is a slight wiggle of your hips, taunting him, for his restraint to break.
The demon lunges for your cunt like a man starved, instantly greeting your folds with his tongue. His hands find your sides and then your hips before running over your ass. With each swipe of his tongue, he sucks in the taste before running zigzag patterns across your slit. He has yet to touch your clit and instead focuses his entire being on your entrance. A single dip of his forked tongue has you screaming out for him. It drives you wild, his monstrous tongue.
“Barbatos,” You pant, and your squirming is met with a quick slap against your ass. He hits the skin before soothing running his gloved palm over the affected area, ensuring that the pain doesn’t last for too long. As his tongue reaches further inside of you, forcing you to clamp down around him, his thumb finds your clit.
The combination is dangerous, the sounds he is making are dangerous.
One of these days, you’re sure that you’re going to pass out from his overwhelming ministrations. But, until then, you’re going to keep taking it willingly and lying down.
Lucifer (fem!reader)
“Come closer, my pet,” Lucifer lowly murmurs into your ear as his large hands tug against your bottom, forcing you to lurch forward into his chest. The subtle rock of your hips makes you pathetically moan out loud as his long cock reaches places inside of you that you didn’t even know existed. “I missed you today.” He’s so sweet with his words, with his lips as he presses gentle kisses into your jaw. His lips part with each kiss and his touch is soft enough that you begin squirming for more.
“Lucifer,” You murmur and gently grind down in his lap, back and forth your hips are moving at a slow needy pace. After a long day, this is exactly what the two of you desperately need. “please, I need more,” You’re not sure what you’re begging for, but whatever he gives you, you will take selfishly.
“You’re being greedy,” He warns and nips at your throat to calm you down. His touch does the exact opposite of that. “relax.” At once, his hands lower from your waist to your hips. He strongly holds you in place and makes it so that you are unable to move a single inch. All you can do is pathetically grind your bottom into his thighs and try to find another source of release. Lucifer sighs. “Must you always defy me?”
Before you even get the chance to explain, lips already parting in thought, Lucifer slots his mouth over your own. He meets you in a messy kiss, tongue first and he’s eager with his movements. Lucifer devours you wholeheartedly, chest burning brightly with pride, as his tongue fondles your own. Over and over, he laps at you until you’re pulling away and gasping for air.
Even then, he can’t stay away and glues his lips to your throat. His strong hips begin to thrust upwards, bouncing you in his lap. Had it not been for the secure touch on your waist, you’re sure you would have flown off of him because of the movements.
Lucifer sinfully rolls his hips, up and up until you’re falling back against the mattress. He doesn’t let you go, doesn’t give you time to react before he begins his work now on top of you.
“Beautiful girl,” His eyes soften in a way that makes you bashful, shy, and you can only stare at the fondness expressed in his gaze. It’s entirely sweet and kind. Nothing like the way he is fucking you right now.
The way Lucifer’s grunts fill your ears and the slaps of skin sound throughout the room, you know this is his purest form of lovemaking. It’s seen in your reactions and the way that you grasp onto his shoulders and dig your nails into his skin, dragging your fingers down his back as he repeatedly hits that spot that makes you see stars. Lucifer will always take care of you, provide for you, inside and outside of his bedroom.
“Take it all, my sweet human, I know that you can.”
Mammon
“You’re just the sweetest demon, aren’t you?”
Had your hand not been wrapped around his aching cock, exploding from his jeans, Mammon would have been sure to reject this with a snarky remark. But, right now, all the demon can do is gasp for words.
“S-Shut up, I’m not!” He swears it to be true but, how can you take him seriously as he dips his head back and thrusts his hips into your hand? His throat is bared for you and you lean forward to place the gentlest of kisses on his Adam’s apple. “You’ll regret this,”
“Regret pleasuring you?” You murmur into his skin, now picking the area just under his jaw to suck a bruise into. Through short jerks of your fist, you work the demon into submission. Mammon has all but started to thrash against his couch, eyes screwed shut while pathetic moans leave his lips.
“Come on, more, give me more-” He’s so greedy that it breaks his words, voice cracking from the pressure. The demon can feel his impending release building in his gut, your touch just feels too damn good. “Fuck me, (Y/N), please, please!” Mammon cums into your mouth the second you lower your face and wrap your lips around his tip, you barely begin to suck before he thrusts and spills himself past your lips.
You don’t waste a single drop, choosing to dig your tongue into his sensitive slit as he withers against his cushions. Being just as greedy as him, you’re eager to swallow it all.
“You really thought you could toy with me?” Mammon swallows harshly, eyes darkening as he stares at your full cheeks. Your back is arched into the air as you lean over his lap and the demon doesn’t hesitate to slap the back of your thighs. He hits you just enough that you slightly jolt and feel the pressure against your sensitive legs. “I’m not gonna let you get away that easily,”
Then, he wraps his hand in your hair and pulls you toward him. He moans pathetically at his taste on your lips and thrusts his tongue into your mouth to lap at the cum still resting in your mouth. It’s filthy, and messy and only gets even more so as his fingers dip between your thighs.
Mammon knows your body, he doesn’t have to see your pretty cunt to find your clit and he certainly doesn’t have to stare to find exactly where you liked to be touched. He knows it all already.
And as he kisses you, stealing the breath out of your lungs, his fingers push your panties out of the way. Your wet cunt makes him moan loudly and he doesn’t hesitate to drag his finger along your slit, scooping your essence to smear it around your clit.
“I’m gonna fuck you good after this, got it?” His eyes are blown wide with pleasure and his lips are still slightly parted, ready to kiss you once more again. “I’ll show you who’s a nice demon.”
Simeon (daddy kink, fem!reader)
When Simeon first heard the vulgar, authoritative, pet name fall from your lips, he didn’t know what to do. He simply acknowledged it with a kind smile before continuing his assault on your throat.
The more it fell from your lips and the more you begged for him, however, the looser his restraint got.
“Please, daddy,” You whine into the air, chest thrusting up from where you rest between Simeon’s legs. This position is anything but innocent. The angel has one of his hands wrapped around your throat while the other rubs ferocious circles against your clit. His own strong legs are hooked over your own, ensuring that you can’t close your legs even if you tried.
“I’ve got you, my light,” Simeon murmurs into your ear, his eyes zoning in on your breasts from over your shoulder. His mouth waters at the sight, fingers slowing down completely before he brings them up to his lips. Quickly, he sucks the digits into his mouth and laps at his skin. He moans at the taste of your pretty cunt, sucking intensely on his fingers before bringing them to your breast. With a pathetic moan, you whimper when he brushes over your nipple with his two fingers. Simeon toys with the perked nub, circling it a few times before pulling it beneath his thumb.
He tries to calm you down with gentle coos at your growing anticipation.
“Daddy’s got you,” His gentle kisses against your shoulder do little to satiate the burning desire in your belly. The angel has an obsession with your body, an unhealthy obsession. He can touch you for days and not grow tired of it, he can indulge in the most sinful acts with little shame all because you request it from your pretty lips.
Slowly, you’re corrupting him and the angel does not care in the slightest.
“Let daddy finish, sweetheart,” His soft voice doesn’t match his words but, he does it so well. Simeon continues toying with your breasts, pinching and pulling on your nipples before he migrates his hand south once again. Once more between your thighs, the angel runs his middle finger up your slit. He slowly dips his fingers into your entrance just enough to break a silent scream from your lips before he brings his finger to lazily circle your clit.
“You’re being so good for me, you’re much more of an angel than I am.” Sweetly, he presses a kiss against your cheek before nuzzling his face into your neck. His puffs of air against your throat make you squirm and the sensitivity of his touch is starting to get the better of you.
“I wanna cum, daddy, please,” Your gentle begs work wonders on the angel, he can never deny you of anything.
“Since you asked so nicely, my sweet girl,” All at once, two of his fingers slip into your entrance while his thumb toys with your clit. His thrusts are harsh and steal the air from your lungs, causing you to thrash against him. “Cum on daddy’s fingers, you can do it, baby,"

one thing i hate is seeing those harems in anime where the male mc is the most regular (nerdy) dude ever - black hair black eyes dry / vague personality no sense of fashion - and the women are all depicted to be so beautiful n attractive. . 😟
#sttoru chats.#like GIRLS PLEASE#yall fighting over a literal loser#i can only think of how much better they can do 😭#not that i watch those animes bcs they pmo so bad u dont understand#that mainly being the reason#but i saw a tiktok just now and i cringed 😪 .#stop feeding the idea to men that they can get pretty girls while doing and being less than the BARE MINIMUM#male fanservice is so weird#dont get me started on the literal high school girls being oversexualised

People not understanding the difference between liking/disliking something and that thing being objectively good/bad will never fail to anger me
#been stumbling across these cringe Instagram videos of people asking what's the worst anime etc and they reply with#'one piece' 'demon slayer' like bruh these aren't bad. they may not be for you but it doesn't make them bad#this applies to everything#for example I really enjoyed deadpool and wolverine. great time. 6.2/10 movie tho. it had flaws and was trying too hard. that doesn't stop#me from enjoying it and liking it doesn't stop me from admitting it wasn't a 'great' movie either. it was fun. that's what matters#when something had a great reception from the fans and you just kinda sit there waiting for the hype to fade a bit so you can be a hater#and people agree with the points idk#not art#text#there's a big difference between “I like this it's my favorite * *' and '* * is very good'

No one asked about Hyrule’s parents so I decided to just draw them anyways cuz they make me happy fhdjdbdkdbdk
Hyrule’s dad is obviously a Hylian and his mom is a great fairy. Normally Great fairies keep their distance from Hylians cuz there’s a risk of making half fairies, which are highly valuable in the black market. Fairy blood can heal anything and can even bring back the dead as long as you have the body or something. Fairies are small and don’t have enough blood to make it valuable, great fairies have a lot of blood but are too powerful to capture. However, half fairies are far more valuable because they’re big enough for blood, but weaker than great fairies so they’re easy to capture. The only defense they have is that they look like Hylians and their magic. In order to keep a child out of harms way, the great fairies do not get close to Hylians. Buuuut sometimes mistakes happen and Hyrule’s mom got too close to his dad, and Hyrule was born. Hyrule’s dad understood the severity of the situation so he tried to keep his child safe, but when Hyrule was ten he wandered off and got roped up into the hero business while his dad assumed he was dead. Hyrule barely remembers his dad tho.
#legendofzelda#legend of zelda#legend of zelda au#zelda au#link between links#they’ve been in my head for a while#but I was always nervous to do anything with them cuz that felt cringe#but I gotta remember that I got a lotta cringe followers so I can be cringe and free to you guys /lh#and when I say cringe I mean it in a good way#there’s good cringe and there’s bad cringe and I consider this good cringe#ok I’m gonna stop talking#i hate my lighting#it looks so good on my laptop and then on my phone it’s super dull and boring#ugh#whatever I don’t care#just take some parents#congrats to Hyrule’s dad to also be a living biological father#actually Hyrule is the only one with living parents fr 😩#and Hyrule’s dad is shorter than Hyrule#that’s why he’s so tiny#tiny dad fr#anyways dhsjbddkndk#idk what backgrounds are bro#i guess she’s just chilling in the middle of a field for fun idk don’t think too hard about it

[ doodle dump furina!Levi ]
damn I've drawn this all the way back in November 2023?? time is not real how..
anyway I drew a bit of Levi as Furina bc sth sth thematic parallel and for funsies (plus Auberon, @zrllosyn oc, as Neuvi) 👉👈
The rest under cut, spoilers for Fontaine Archon Quest
It's basically all the same but bc it's Levi as Furina, his theatrics are more theater sword fighting than Furina's opera singing?
and on the final "trial", instead of touching the ancient sea water, he would take on Clorinde's threat on duel. Surely, the kind of duel the Champion Duelist does and the theatrical sword fight is the same set of skills :)))))
(i forgor to draw it) but that duel would result in Levi getting slashed on his right eye, giving him the same scar as the focalor!Leviathan one. And he also bleeds. A lot. That's how they get proof he's human instead of the melting water aksjdnakjd fun dilemma for he
While Furina takes her retirement a lot... calmer(?), this is Levi, who has his anxiety all turned up to 12 and hides em by being funny haha man. So when it all came crumbling down, he... didn't take it too well. Like, yes thank fuck everyone alive and not became one with the sea, but also that means that's a whole lot of ppl to hate him
(They don't. They pretty much treat him like they do Furina post retirement, but he's still an anxious mess. would take a bit longer to get him to where Furina is on her story quest?)
#13thdoodle#dp levi#this is my doodle blogs. I can upload whatever i want. no one can stop me.#i keep saying to myself bc i keep thinking i shouldn't post things when it's not clean and nice and perfect on MY DOODLE BLOG. MY SKETCHBOO#things can be rough and bad and its fineeeeeeeeee#i was so fcking anxious uploading this bc i feel cringe for this#but also i kinda like the focalor leviathan design and furina levi is fun so aksjankdn

#even if i ignore the whole. Solely Existing To Teach The Player What Nonbinary Means#their character is wildly inconsistent#they are constantly picking on other companions to a point that it's literally grating to have them in a party with some of them#namecalling emmrich and getting an entire scene about it and no one seems to realize how silly it looks to have#mx 'you dont get to tell me who i am'#repeatedly calling emmrich by names he doesn't like#same with calling davrin a spirit and saying shit like 'don't be ashamed of who you are' all sarcastic i just know they#felt sooo smug writing that line#also please god stop saying nonbinary it is so immersion breaking it's awful. i hate to say it but it's literally making me cringe#god i want to like them so bad. but i think taash and harding are the worst writing in the game#taash i want to like at least but i straight up hate harding lmao especially playing as an elf. why am i apologizing ?#and you literally cant call her out on any of it. soo frustrating#datv spoilers#datv critical

Sadly, I lost all motivation about halfway through these
Ranting about skins below
A while ago, my sister told me that the skins were alternate universe versions of the phighters, which probably isn't true
BUUUT, what if there were alternate universes for the different skins?
The ones floating in my brain-
1. Broken kingdoms/lost gods/whatever
Jesterspace, Egobwarder, FollowerSword, Cursedshot (Maybes-Valleystaff, Shurilong, Seraphlaser, Sianachkit, guess you could replace Jester with Exor, perhaps moaitana as a gargoyle of sorts? Stargazer also works, but he could work better with sunburst sword and astrobox)
2. Pirates
Shurifin, Vinesplash, Pirate Medkit (come up with some extra skins for characters that don't have a skin with this theme, it makes it much more fun)
Bonus groups
Food [Catshot, Medcarrot, Cocoagraft, Eggsquerade Boombox, Marshmallow sword] Seasons [Kramptana, Witchlaser, ZMK0] Sci-fi [Cybertana, Hoverboard, Sci-fi sword, Buster Rocket]
There are still more skins that you could group up, or different combinations, but I just wanted to share something that's been stuck on my mind.
#for the longest time I thought that egobworder's name was egg-warbler HELP#You can tell which one has been in my head the longest#it's the kingdoms#ranting#If you have any other ideas please share them#Phighting#art#phighting fanart#kinda bad but I think it's fun#I am a little bit more hesitant to include Catshot BusterRocket and ZMK0 in this because they are creator skins#POV Banhammer when some random fish interrupt one of his executions (he's across the ocean rn so he can't stop them)#vinestaff phighting#shuriken phighting#vinesplash phighting#shurifin#egobworder#jesterspace#subspace phighting#skateboard phighting#Ego was trying to get jester to help them without any strings attatched-didn't work#The siblings were just saving their local pirate from drowning#why did Jesterspace turn out so good???#might cringe at this post later lol

here's the thing. yes, some pieces of art are "better" than others. there are many criteria you can measure that with--technical skill, creativity, clarity, conceptual depth, successful execution of the artist's intentions, etc., and i do think it's useful to clarify which ones you're using as a measuring stick. but like, of course you can evaluate art. of course you can be critical (in the "art critic" sense) of art. (among other things, that's one of the most important ways to get better at making art yourself.)
however. when it comes down to evaluating what gets to count as art. what art even gets to have a seat at the table. i will go to bat for the thing that isn't as "good" every single time.
you can say you think a piece of art is bad. you can say you think it lacked technical skill, or clarity, or conceptual depth, and you consider those important elements of a successful work. i might even agree with you. but if you think that means it doesn't matter, someone is going to die on this hill and it isn't going to be me
#this is not apropos of anything#or like directed at anyone in particular#just to be clear#i just had a Thought that triggered something in my art student brain and made this click#because i am being trained how to critique and evaluate art. i know how to objectively and subjectively judge whether something is 'good'#('good' in scare quotes bc that is such a vague metric. i tend to use 'successful' more often)#but the second someone calls something 'bad art' or 'not even art' i will be ready to back it up instantly#and i realized that it boils down to acting like something doesn't matter because it has failed to meet a certain standard#i think all art matters. i think that doodle of a cat you drew in the corner of your math notebook matters#i think that poem you wrote when you were in second grade matters#i think that song you made up and recorded on a voice memo and then cringed when you listened to it later matters#i also think those abstract expressionist artists that everyone loves to hate on matter btw#their art doesn't speak to me that strongly but that doesn't mean it didn't have anything to say#everyone has something to say. and you can have opinions about what they said or how they said it#but you don't get to tell them to stop talking#that includes when that someone is yourself btw#anyway#this has been my monthly-or-so evening ramble#i've been overdue for one honestly#stars has thoughts
