So you wanted to know about my Demon school S/I, but now I also want to know what you have for Balam! Oh, and Dazai as well, Because Bu gou Stray Dogs is another amazing series. - @itfitsitshipsart

Of course ! I'm glad you enjoy both of these epic series 🌟

Starting with my s/i with Balam

I've only drawn her once rn, but here she is

Her name is Gillian, as like all my s/is are called. Currently, she's a student teacher at Babyls in the misfit class with Kalego. She's super passionate about becoming a teacher and loves all her students. She sees teaching as a great calling, a position that let's them nurture young demons and to be someone who's there for them and believes in them. She's a soft, lowkey bubbly kind of person. She's always ready to help people, offering tutoring and the like.

Her blood line ability is Know. By looking at a person, she can know things about them. Basic glances reveal basic information, like name, rank, current power potential, etc. She needs to look at them a while to gain deeper information. It's hard to do this without the person knowing she's using her magic, since she needs an uninterrupted, long look at the person, unless they're somehow standing in one spot for a long time and she's far enough away or whatever. It also works on objects. It does help her in a fight to know her opponents moves. A brief look has sparkles of red appear in her eyes, and her irises turn fully bright red with its full ability being used. Also, by using her ability on the first day of class to know the current abilities of her students, she learned that iruma is human, but kept it secret on the whim of lord Sullivan for a while; plot wise, her bloodline ability is discovered until the Walter Park arc, and that's when iruma realizes she knows.

She's pretty tiny, but also abnormally strong. She's from a rather prestigious family. Her parents approved of her becoming a teacher, but other members of her family extremely disapprove of that.

She was a freshman at Babyls when Shichiro and Kalego were sixth years, and hadn't interacted much with them, just bobbing around in the background. To my knowledge, they haven't said when Kalego became a teacher at Babyls, I like to think it was when she became a sixth year that he first returned to Babyls. He quickly gained a reputation as a hard bastard no one wanted as a teacher. Gill was one of the outcasts. Her bloodline ability used to get her into trouble with other students before she realized people aren't fond of someone knowing their business, and it kinda led to her feeling left out. She rarely felt like anyone believed in her potential and only wanted her to be what they wanted, amongst her family and their social circles and such. But when she had Kalegos class, she saw that while he's a hard ass teacher, he also genuinely cares about teaching and his students, giving them a proper education. They developed a sort of student mentor bond and became pretty close, she'd eat lunch in his classroom, he'd bitch about the poorly done assignments some students finished. He was kinda the only person besides her parents she felt genuinely believed in her abilities. She had never known what she wanted to do after school if she chose her own path. It was Kalego who inspired her to be a teacher. She was moved to the misfit class at some point due to a certain mistake, and was sad to not be in Kalegos class anymore, but she kept following him around like a tiny, puppy whom he tolerated. Upon her graduation, he told her he had high expectations for her, and she'd better not disappoint him. It was years later that she returned to Babyls, and met him again as his student teacher. They continue to have a close mentor student relationship.

Now, with Shichiro, she met after becoming a teacher. They'd talk at meetings and in the faculty room, but for a while it was mostly just polite. Shichiro noticed she never seemed put off by his appearance and never pushed away his random petting, which surprised him. She shares his passion for all living creatures, and one day got him started on the topic and they talked for hours for the first time. She loves physical touch and they bond about their shared love of living and imaginary beings. She already has a tendency to love big, terrifying animals, having several pets that people usually run away from, and calls them cute. Aka, Balam isn't terrifying to her whatsoever. They're incredibly sweet when together.

I rambled a lot about that s/i lmao

Gonna try and be brief with my B.SD information for this post, but I always love talking about them and answering any questions ! 🌸

Now, the thing you have to know about me is I'm insane, and I have five different s/is. They are all shipped with all of my B.SD f/os (seperate universes tho), but I made them for different story ideas.

The relationship kinda changes slightly depending on which s/i is used.

There's my ADA s/i, adopted daughter of Fukuzawa. Her ability I call silver tongued maiden, and it is the ability to control people with her voice, though she dislikes fully controlling people and prefers to connect with their emotions and make more suggestions fueled by her ability, she can also unleash all of her emotions in a highly destructive scream, this leaves her emotionless and kind of having to be steered around until she can refill her emotions, usually takes a few hours of taking it easy and relaxing. She sees the entire ADA as her family and would do anything for them. Ranpo is her beloved older brother, and Yosano is her best friend among them. Her relationship with Dazai is built on acceptance, shes a little naive but she somehow sees him and sees why hes alwaya trying to off himself, and firmly believes he does want to live. They become close soon after he joins the agency, and she likes him long before he realizes he likes her.

My mafia s/i is Mori's daughter. She was friends with Ango, Oda, and Dazai until, yknow, they all left her. She stayed in the mafia, and got more reserved. She did become good friends with Chuuya. Her ability is to travel within shadows and control them, letting them become physical enough to attack, but not with a ton of strength, other living beings cant handle traveling with her in shadows tho she has used holding them under the shadows as a torture methodShe used her ability to keep Q company while he was kept locked away, and sees him as a sort of younger brother. She mainly works as her dad's body guard and does whatever other tasks he gives her. Not many people in the mafia know she's his daughter, outside chuuya and Kouyou, and Dazai. Kouyou she also sees as a mother like figure. She isn't satisfied in the mafia, but it feels like, to her, the only place that actually wants her. Her relationship with Dazai is complex, they were best friends, he abandonded her, they crave each other, it takes a good while before they fully reconnect and can become more. I could go slightly insane about her and Dazai, lmao

My guild s/i is the daughter of Fitzgerald. Her ability I call unbreakable diamond, she can turn her body into an unbreakable diamond material, as well as coat objects in it temporarily, technically she can also cover other living beings but it's incredibly painful to them because it literally grows on them and cuts into them. During the guild arc, she is at first fully invested in helping her father achieve his goal, but comes to be unable to finish it, feeling too bad for the people of Yokohama. She runs from the car when she and her fellow guild mates are leaving the city, and later joins the detective agency as a way to atone, and find her father who she firmly believes survived the fight on the Moby Dick and is hiding in the city. She surprises Dazai at first, him miscalculating how he thought she'd be. They banter together a lot, and become romantic slowly.

My circus s/i is part of a group I created from French authors, a French circus troupe called le Cirque des Désenchantés, which is English is the Circus of the Disenchanted. They're a super popular circus in France and Europe, and they've done to the states, my s/i is their star acrobat and one of the core members. They are founded on being disenchanted by the world, and seeking to create and contribute their own luster to it. Her ability is to strengthen other abilities, the opposite of Dazai's where by touch, or less boosted from being in her eye sight, she can make other people's abilities much much much stronger. The circus comes to Yokohama after Fyodor manipulates them into finding the Book to create the "best of all possible worlds" (guess who the ringmaster is, lmao), and they are like the season villain and timeline wise they would be season 3. Her circus members are like her family, since she spent years as a child taken from her birth family and moved around between ability groups to take advantage of her ability. While the circus was manipulated to cause destruction, she knew it wasn't right and betrayed them to help the agency stop them, though she adores her family a lot she couldn't help them. After the circus was stopped and temporarily disbanded, she is vulnerable without a group and joined the agency for protection and atonement. I decided on this ability specifically to be a juxtaposition of Dazai's. She's a little bit more teasing than my other s/is, and a little bit more tsundere. He enjoys teasing her and jokingly flirting with her, and he's not sure when exactly it stopped being jokingly.

My Jekyll s/i is part of the agency, and her ability is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Her ability manifests as another, stronger version of her, most of the time, Hyde is visible only to her but she can pull her from her shadow to fight and stuff, of become fully possessed by Hyde, which is when they're both strongest. As a kid, she was experimented on for her ability, though then Hyde was no more than a ball of light that could perform simple things and had less of her own personality. The rage my s/i felt from her captivity and the experiments coalesced into a single wish that turned Hyde into who she currently is. Hyde possessed her physical body for the first time, and they escaped. She was quickly taken by the Order of the Clocktower, where she was made to use her ability. Hyde had become visious and difficult to control, a self reflection of her self hatred as she and Hyde hated one another. She fled the Order of the Clocktower and went to Japan where she joined the agency. At some point during or right after this current season, I imagine the instability of her ability is preyed on, causing Hyde to fully take control and lock her away. Hyde joins Fyodor and them until my s/i takes back control, and she locks away Hyde, saying she'd never use her again, but she eventually comes to accept her ability again and Hyde becomes much less chaotic, but stays wild. She likes being around Dazai at first just because Hyde hates it, his ability messes with her ability and shes glad about it. They both have issues with how they view themselves and help each other be better.

I technically have another but it's literally me isekaid into the world lmao

That wasn't super brief, but it's an overview, lmao

Thanks for asking ! I love talking about my s/is, ocs, and my ships

[shanastoryteller]

The day his deal comes due, Sam goes missing.

Dean tells himself it’s nothing, that he’s gotten caught up in some research, some last ditch, hail mary nonsense and that he’s just turned his phone off and everything’s fine, that he wouldn’t do something stupid, that he wouldn’t break his promise.

He tells himself that for the first two minutes after he cracks his eyes open and sees the empty bed across from him, and the first time his call goes straight to voicemail, and not much after that. Sam’s broken his promises over things significantly less important to him than his brother’s life.

Dean is dressed and in the Impala five minutes later, heart thudding wildly in his chest. He calls Bobby, Ellen, everyone he can think of, but none of them have heard from Sam, none of them have eyes on him. Sam was with him last night, even if he boosted a car, there’s only so far he can get.

He keeps calling, keep searching, desperate to stop whatever he’s trying to do, to find him, to see his brother one last time before he’s dragged to hell. To make sure Sam is going to be okay after he’s dragged to hell. But the hours tick down, the sun sets, and he can’t find a trace of him. He’s so exhausted and heart sick that when he goes to call Sam again it takes him a long time to read the number on his phone, eyes swimming, the time not making any sense.

1:03

That’s not possible.

That’s not –

His phone rings, blocking out the time with Bobby’s name across the screen, and he answers it but his throat is too thick to say anything.

“Dean?” Bobby says tentatively. “Are you – I got an email from Sam. It just said, I mean, did–“

“What did it say, Bobby?” he asks, even though he’s sure he knows.

Bobby sucks in a breath at his voice, because he knows just as well as Dean that he should be screaming in hell right now, not answering his phone. “To take care of you.”

Dean drops the phone, hears Bobby still talking as he grips the wheel and presses his forehead against the back of his hands. This is what he’d been afraid of. This is why he hadn’t wanted to mess with the deal in first place. This is the one thing he’d begged Sam not to do.

It's easy to find a crossroad.

The demon is laughing at him when it shows up, wicked grin in a pretty face. “That didn’t take you long, boy.”

It’s a different demon than the one he delt with, obviously, but Dean figures they all know the same shit, since demons are a bunch of gossips. “This wasn’t the deal. My brother lives and I die.”

“You traded your soul for your brother’s life,” she corrects, so amused by all this that all he wants to do is kill her, to exorcise her, to make her scream. “Just like your father traded his for yours. There’s no reason Sammy can’t make his own trade. Man, but is your family fucked up. Maybe if you’d just settled down like little Sammy wanted, you wouldn’t all be bargaining for each other’s lives like haggling at a flea market.”

“Untrade it,” he snaps. “My soul for him alive, come on, no year, no waiting, you bring him back and take me to hell right now.”

She laughs in his face. “You don’t have anything to bargain with, boy.”

“My soul,” he repeats, “That’s what this is about, isn’t?”

“Oh, it’s what it’s all about,” she says. “But Sammy’s a clever boy. You know that, don’t you? He didn’t trade his soul for your life, he didn’t have to. You didn’t die. No, he traded it for your soul. Sorry, honey, but your credits been declined.”

At first he doesn’t understand. Sam traded his soul for Dean’s, exactly, so there’s no reason he can’t trade it right back. Then he gets it.

She sees the exact moment it clicks, the moment despair and horror sweep across his face too quickly for him to stop them. “That’s right. Little brother owns your soul now. For some reason he didn’t think you’d take proper care of it. You have it because that’s where he wants it, but no one will be making any deals with you, Dean Winchester. You can’t sell a soul you don’t own.”

“You can’t,” he has to clear his throat, “you can’t just come in and change things at the eleventh hour-”

“Eleventh hour?” she interrupts. “Sammy made his deal eleven months ago.”

His mouth is so dry he can’t speak.

“Isn’t it funny?” she asks, head cocked to the side. “All this time, the deal he’s been trying to get out of wasn’t yours, but his own. Maybe the two of you might have even managed it, except you just wouldn’t help, would you? Insisting that he not research, that he not look for a way out, and he spent so much time trying to convince you, coaxing you to talk about your feelings when he knew you were safe, all he because he thought it would make you feel better when he was gone, because he couldn’t tell you the truth and talk about how scared he was, so talking about your fear was as close as he could get.”

Dean’s going to be sick. “Don’t – please, please, I’ll give you anything-”

“You don’t have anything,” she says, gleeful. “You want to know why I agreed? The thing that made it just too delicious to refuse? Sammy’s down there, just starting in on an eternity of torture, and all he has to do get out of it is give up your soul. It’s his, after all, and he can put the original deal back in place any time he chooses. Just one moment of weakness on his end and his beloved big brother will be on the rack instead.” She sighs happily. “It’s almost as good as anything we’re doing to him down there, the knowledge that if he slips up for even a moment then it would all be for nothing. I couldn’t have found a way to twist the knife deeper if I tried.”

There’s vomit crawling its way up his throat and he has to swallow it down before he can speak. “I can’t – I’ll do whatever you want, please, there has to be something.”

She leans forward, cruelty and delight shining in her eyes. “The only thing you can do is what you’ve been telling your precious baby brother to do for the past year. Accept it. Move on. Live a good life so his sacrifice isn’t in vain.”

God. How can she – how can Sammy expect him to –

He’s doubling over, finally upchucking what little he’s ate today, and he’s dry heaving on the dirt when he hears the fading sound of her laughter.

This can’t be real. This has to be Hell, he has to be in it right now. He has to be.

THE KING OF THE NORTHERN DESERT... AND THE LITTLE CROWN PRINCE OF THE NORTHERN DESERT!

i like to think that demon children are naturally very self sufficient and feral and after birth their parents just sort of. throw them to the wilds to raise themselves. but shang qinghua isn't going to let MBJ pass up on being a boydad god damn it

[loveakii]

a game of thrones + dune

[flying-ham]

obv wouldn’t happen bc then there’d be no book but it would have been so funny if ned rlly did just grab the girls and fuck off back to winterfell after his big fight w bobby b. the entire realm still ends up at war with each other somehow and the starks are just chilling up north, ned and cat singlehandedly repopulating the bloodline by popping out yet another kid. iconic.

[tamayakii]

yandad!Tywin (Or yan!grandpa Tywin) being told by his brother that you and your suitor are quite similar to how Tywin and Joanna were years ago in their prime. Yan!Tywin can't seem to stomach the idea of you being whisked away, as you were always at his side since you could walk, a tiny little shadow. The next morn, your lover isn't in your chambers like usual, perhaps he snuck off. You two weren't supposed to be sharing sleeping quarters until you were married and that wasn't even confirmed yet. But only to find him slaughtered in the stone halls, you wailing heard from the other side of casterly rock. Grabbing ahold of his lifeless body, begging for him to return to you.

Of course the whole thing was orchestrated by Tywin, and now? you are like him. you've both lost a lover, and now you two are the same, so you MUST stay together.

this can be taken ANY way, platonic, emotional incest, or well,,,, we know how Lannister's are, actual incest. It's up to YOU how you read it as. All i ask is that you don't attack someone for reading it differently than you,

[ardate]

Every Boromir hater makes my enormous love for him grow stronger. Sorry you couldn't understand him, I get him tho and we're holding hands and the whole of Gondor is laughing at you

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

how about that uhhhhh Fantasy Julie. she gets her sword <3 no one can take it from her <3

rambles:

SIKE you get an extra, lower quality doodle

SIKE AGAIN here's the rambles

yeah... i caved and gave her a tail... I'm Not Sorry! it's cute! i wanted to stick with her sorta flower motif - it's stronger in her princess look, since I imagine that when she was part of the royals she was very blatantly flower power based. it was her Thing!

but a Julie free of her noble shackles... she deserves her big sword. like yeah, she has flower magic, but who needs it when she has a Giant Blade??? on the royalty vein, and if we're classifying "rainbow monster" as a species, i feel like horn size/curve would be a status symbol of some kind. maybe Julie would have kept her horns filed short. but if she ran away from that life... longer horns! i like to imagine that they'll keep growing until she has a pair of Extra Weapons attached to her head! curved forward like mammoth tusks maybe!

i imagine that like Frank, she goes with minimal armor - range of movement over protection, yk? some scale mail over her front, a thick leather flower over her chest w/ scalloped leather pauldrons, wrist armor and metal knuckles! i'd think that the faux-suspenders include a back sheath for her sword... i wish i'd thought of that Before i finished the little ref! i don't feel like going back and editing!

i imagine that she was forced to cut her hair when it got caught in something (a gelatinous cube, mayhaps). it didn't look good! don't let anime and Mulan fool you! cutting your own hair with a blade will not look nice! but someone - Eddie, probably, he's good with scissors i'd assume - cleaned it up for her. and hey, it didn't look bad! plus, Julie probably liked being able to just tuck up her long strands into her hat when she's feeling a bit more like a Julius than a Julie!

it's been a fun challenge transforming their canon outfits into a similar variation with fantasy flavoring and twists! i want them to suit the setting but still maintain Themselves! Julie's was tough i gotta admit. i was messing around with the princess look and the fighter look side-by-side. it worked better when i sat back and thought "fighter Julie is Julie unrestrained. that version would be more aligned with her canon look"

i wanted her princess form to look Restrained! she has to be a ~delicate flower~, a noble woman, pristine and poised and very much a princess. soft colors, poofy clothing, bright white gloves that are not to be sullied. carefully bundled up hair! jewelry! that dress must be Heavy and hard to move in! her tail must be so cramped under there!

but Julie Unleashed? violent pinks! rose gold accents! short skirt so that she can sprint and Kick! fun boots that she can be active in and delight in watching them get dirty! her hair is free to whip in the wind and get caught in things! fun straps and Deadly Accessories! a sword that she stole from the royal armory on her way out the window! she has forearm wraps both to match Frank and to support her wrists!

[bamsara]

Are you getting things proper off your thrones list twitch thing?

I am for the most part! There has been one or twice where something came in damaged, but support was helpful with fixing it or finding an alternative so far

[prideprejudce]

it's interesting for me to see how almost the entire fandom collectively despised game of thrones season 8 and how d&d turned a nuanced series about scheming and political plays into a soulless michael bay action movie with almost 2% meaningful dialogue (yOU ArE mY QUEeN) and replaced with 98% explosions, war, and fighting in dark places to NOW having people in the hotd fandom not being able to comprehend that writing about a political civil war is not just going to be 24/7 fighty fighty action blast boom scenes and that we actually need some plot development behind it first
