"Why There Will Never Be a Peeb Adventures" otherwise known as "The Peeb Adventures Pre-Mortem"

Since 2020, I've made a good chunk of games. Hell, even though I've been doing this for 10 years to date, the majority of my progress as a creative began over the course of this 4 year period.

Out of all the games I've made - or otherwise had a hand in - there is only one that's apparently struck a chord so deeply with people that to this day I still get messages and comments asking when it will come out.

The title of this post already explains the whole deal so I'm not gonna be dramatic about it right here. As per usual, I will instead get heart-clutchingly dramatic about the subject by the end of this story.

I felt the idea of a "Pre-Mortem" might be a fun way to talk about games that will never be finished. Maybe I'll make more of these down the line for other old games, who knows.

"The Incredibly True Origins of Peeb Adventures" or "Wow! I Hate It!"

Peeb Adventures began as a gift game for my long-time friend Aaron. It was simple, mostly functioning as a fun little gag that stemmed from a 3D model I made of a character he doodled during a drawpile session. I gave Peeb a grapple hook just because I wanted to experiment with swinging mechanics and felt the gag gift was a great space to toy around in without having to actually ask myself how on earth I'd want to structure a game around a grappling hook. Foreshadowing!

Eventually, the gag gift did that classic thing all developers have experienced before where your game spirals out of control and grows into a hideous monster, and what started as a fairly abstract grappling toy convergently evolved into that dreaded state we call a "3D Mascot Platformer."

I made a very short demo in the summer of 2020. It went absolutely nowhere, and after an idol of mine caught wind and asked to play it (before sending about 3 paragraphs of feedback suggesting how to improve what was, in my view, a trainwreck of baby blocks stacked on top of eachother), I shelved the project.

"The Absolutely Tremendulous HPS1 Adventure of Peeb" or "My Friend Jam Suggested I Revive the Project and So I Did"

Shortly after Peeb was shelved for the first time, I joined a community of game developers called Haunted PS1. For those not in the know, HPS1 was essentially the nexus point for "retro horror games" in the indie sphere, and a lot of the resulting deluge (non-perjorative) on itch.io can find its roots in this community.

HPS1 was a good place. Lots of nice, talented people willing to tolerate the kind of mindless riffing I often do in voice calls, anyway. I made a decent chunk of friends there, some of which I'm still quite close to, even today.

HPS1 has this tradition called the HPS1 Demo Disc that began in 2020, and with the year coming to its end, there was talk of a new one set to arrive in spring 2021.

Unlike the first demodisc, however, 2021's disc required you to submit a game in-progress to a panel of judges. They'd then give their yay-or-nay, and you were either in or out.

One day, I was musing over the fact that I didn't really have anything to submit so I would likely have to sit out of 2021's disc. My friend, Jam, who you might know as the developer of the Heilwald Loophole (or Beton Brutal) suggested I consider reviving Peeb Adventures as my submission to the demo disc.

Why did I follow through on this? I don't know. It's funny to think a scenario this simple was the launch point for my career.

Over the next 6 months, I worked on turning the absolutely horrendous gag game into... Something still kinda trite but at least playable. I had some help from my longtime teammate drurylain, my longtime friend Aaron (the creator of Peeb's original design), and my longtime spiritual uncle Tim, and with our powers combined... A new kind of demo experience where you don't do anything of particular note besides swinging around was born.

Also quite important: the very same drawpile session that spawned Peeb also spawned Orbo, who would also make his own appearance in Peeb Adventures as a recurring side character (since I felt like Peeb needed a friend).

"Go! Incredible Friendship Unites in the Gameosphere! Peeb and Orbo are Born!" or "Peeb Adventures: Coming Never"

So the demo for Peeb Adventures was finished early March 2021, and the demo disc went live on itch.io on the 25th of the month.

The demo disc then proceeded to do a backflip and pick up a LOT of traction online. Which then meant Peeb itself was catching little bits of the traction in its mouth and smacking its lips.

I went from "guy who makes games for nobody" to "guy who makes games for that one very specific brand of teen on twitter who loves the object head show", and I was riding high.

Fanart poured in. People showed a lot of love. I was dazzled by it all, really.

Despite the love for the game and the potential on hand, progress was stagnant. My group of friends and I all got together in a google doc and wrote an entire planning bible for the game. Game mechanics, story beats, twists and turns, the whole thing. Despite having the structure lined up, I had other ambitions and began working on a multiplayer deathmatch game that quickly overtook my work schedule.

Peeb sat on the backburner, but at the time I still wanted to finish it one day. My main excuse was "well, I just need more money! If I'm going to work on this game it's gonna need more than one fulltime person and I can't just ask people to work for free!" That excuse worked on me for a while.

"I Don't Think I Want to Play With You Anymore Peeb!" or "There's Such a Thing as Too Much Love"

A while had passed at this point. My ambitions hadn't just grown, they'd completely shifted. Before long, I found myself working on yet another demo for the 2022 HPS1 Demo Disc, "The Spectral Mall."

Nowhere, MI wasn't just some random toy for me, but the culmination of all my love into one game. Despite its silly demeanor, the game was a product of a lot of pain, and even now I still desperately want to finish it. Except I have to make money to live, so... Oops!

Anyhow, there was a shift in demeanor for me during 2022. You have Peeb, a game that I made on a whim as kind of a joke with friends, and you have Nowhere, MI, a game that meant the world to me during really dark times.

And you know what? There were a lot of people that wanted Peeb. People that never stopped asking me about it.

I realized while working on Nowhere that I didn't really know what I would even do if I ever had the chance to work on the full Peeb Adventures. Not only did I find the nagging kind of annoying, Peeb was also something I couldn't really... Wrap my head around?

It occurred to me that Peeb wasn't really "my" game anymore, it was "his" game. The old Johnny.

I'd changed a lot since the game had come out in early 2021. In a year and a half my world got flipped upside down, and... I don't know, Nowhere was way more reflective of who I was now. Sure the humor was still pretty asinine, but there was a shift. It was hard to picture the "Peeb Adventures" people were actually looking forward to when my own sensibilities had drifted so far.

When the Nowhere demo came out along with Spectral Mall, it did... Alright? People liked it, but it wasn't the same as Peeb's release. Hell, even in Nowhere's release there were people pushing it aside to ask the same question they'd been asking every week leading up to it. "When is Peeb Adventures coming out?"

"Goodbye Peeb!"

It was increasingly harder and harder to not look back at Peeb and kind of hate it. It was rough in every respect, and yet it whenever I met people who'd heard of me online, they always cited Peeb Adventures.

Strangers continue to ask me when it's coming out. On rare occasion I'll get someone asking about Nowhere and I'll feel a bit excited anyone else cares about that game besides me and maybe my friends, but most of the time people just ask about Peeb.

To finally answer this question I've been asked for nearly 4 years: There will probably never be a Peeb Adventures.

"Goodbye Johnny."

I like to believe one of the reasons people are attracted to my body of work is because I make games to reach out to other people. That's probably not the real reason, but it's nice to play pretend and imagine your work has more significance than just "ha ha boner."

I put a lot of myself in my games and I rarely hold back, even if an idea is insanely stupid or strange. The result usually becomes something more like a scrapbook than a game.

It's hard to try and expand on a game like Peeb when the Johnny who made it isn't really with us anymore. If I worked on Peeb now, you'd get some kind of irregular frankenstein that'd never be as exciting as the original vision was.

By the time I get around to Nowhere again, am I still going to be this Johnny? Or will the next Johnny look back at Nowhere the same way I look at Peeb now? Who knows.

Anyway, look forward to more games from me and my friends. Even if it's not Peeb Adventures, it'll still be us.

In the Hetalia universe, I feel like nations are kind of seen as tourist attractions/propaganda tools by their governments for foreigners. Their bosses will make them advertise and objectify themselves for tourists (example: Hungary advertising Hungarian spas with sensual pictures). Hungary and other female nations are ESPECIALLY objectified and made to represent their country's "beauty and traditional values".

France's Instagram is full of pictures about national cuisine and tourist destinations. He's often told by his boss to make content that shows off French heritage and leverage his good looks to entice foreigners (Though France definitely takes some liberties). I kind of feel like every nation's bosses see their nation's Instagram as propaganda tools to show the perfect image of their countries.

This is especially true with countries that rely on tourism/get a lot of revenue from tourists. During tourist season, these nations often are told to be on their best behavior, and are encouraged to wear cultural clothing as a way to impress foreigners. Sometimes, they're even told to lean into stereotypes and gimmicks to entertain people.

In turn, a lot of tourists feel entitled to see nations as if they're a public attraction. They take pictures and videos, touch them like a petting zoo, and some even ask nations for inappropriate favors. Basically, they treat them like a Disneyland mascot.

Assorted Krayt's Claw headcanons because I guess that's gonna be my niche now

How they formed:

Krayt's Claw was formed shortly after Boba Fett and Bossk broke out of the Republic Judiciary Detention Center. Feeling bitter about being left behind by Aurra Sing on Florrum and believing in strength in numbers, Boba pitched the idea to Bossk, who agreed to see what he could do with his contacts in the underworld. They first tried to sell the idea to fellow escapee Cad Bane, but he wasn't interested.

The first official member was Latts Razzi, who had fallen under hard times and needed some credits to afford her lavish lifestyle. At first she only considered signing on for a few jobs, but eventually decided to become a full-timer after warming up to the team.

Dengar joined shortly after. Already a successful bounty hunter during the Clone Wars, he saw something in the young Fett that convinced him this enterprise may be worth his while. He and Bossk knew each other from before, and kept a friendly rivalry of sorts going on. Dengar was only a part-timer however, as he was also an aspiring swoop racing champion.

C-21 Highsinger was the last to join the original ensemble. A prototype, one-of-a-kind Hunter-Killer, he went rogue and struck out on his own for motives unknown. One day Boba walked into their base with the towering droid in tow and introduced it as "Highsinger". No one knew how he had convinced that monster that sticking around would be worth its while, but they knew better than to ask questions.

Embo had been in talks to join the team for a while after being approached by Latts, but he only became an official member after Boba Fett vanquished Cad Bane during the last months of the war. He got along surprisingly well, and added a nice bit of street cred to the group.

Oked was only a hired goon brought in for the Quarxite job. He was not mourned nor missed.

Random shit I came up with:

Marrok, Embo's pet anooba, is the unofficial team mascot. Everyone finds themselves doting on the fluffy space dog, and even the impassible Highsinger allows it to rub against his leg. That being said, it has a habit of growling at Dengar whenever he says something stupid, which happens quite frequently.

Bossk's ship, the Hound's Tooth, was their only vehicle for some time. The first few rides were full of nothing but complaining about the smell and unfriendly atmosphere while the lizard silently seethed. It took a lot of convincing for Boba to finally agree to let them use the recently-reclaimed Slave I as their vehicle. Embo never flies with the group, instead using his personal transport, the Guillotine, for every mission. Just about everyone resents him for that fact.

Latts and Dengar are the fashionistas of the group, and tend to suggest outfit changes to the other hunters, a proposition that is rarely accepted. They occasionally rate their co-workers' choice in clothing; Embo has the best look by far, Boba's placing went up by a significant margin after he began sporting his father's Mandalorian armor, and Bossk has been the worst-dressed Trandoshan in Tatooine for a few consecutive years now.

Only Latts can wield her grappling boa scarf effectively, and at many points everyone has tried to employ it in some capacity at least once. None succeeded. How she does it is a mystery.

Dengar once introduced Manaroo, while the two were early into their relationship, to the rest of the team. The fact the poor Aruzan survived three hours of being intimidated by some of the galaxy's meanest-looking bounty hunters confirmed to Dengar that she was the one. They've been married happily since. I don't care what the sequels say.

During a mission to Coruscant, Highsinger inexplicably disappeared with no one knowing where he went. While the rest of the team wanted to leave him behind and get going, Boba demanded they at least try to look for him. He was eventually found at the Droid Spa, enjoying a relaxing oil bath as two beautiful androids scrubbed his joints clean of any grime. To say they were all pissed would be the understatement of the millennium.

After Boba regained his armor and bested Cad Bane in a duel, the following group dinner was filled with everyone taking turns to talk about how much they didn't like the blue cowboy. Whether they were trying to warm up to the new boss or maybe let loose some steam, no one knows.

Krayt's Claw eventually disbanded after Boba came of age and began taking solo jobs, though he remained in contact with most of the team and kept tabs on what they were up to. Nothing was known of Latts' whereabouts after she started her syndicate, however.

"MC gives the brothers a stuffed animal"

You sewed brothers a stuffed animals for them, because you know that, they're lonely when you're not with them. So their little friends will accompany them.

Their reaction and what kind of animal they get!

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Lucifer

You made him a little Cerberus plushie!

He was a little confused when you just enter the room and say that you have a dog for him.

"A dog? I already have one. And even has three heads. But okay, show me what you have got."

When you gave him a plushie of Cerberus, he was just more surprised but accepted the gift.

When he's alone, Lil Cerbie sits on his knees while working and gets pats on his heads.

Mammon

You know that Mammon likes your surprises for him, so he was excited when you say that, you made him a present.

"Alright! Show me what you made for your first!"

When you gave him a plushie crow, he was...

"G'ah? A crow?! I thought it was money or something..."

Of course he accepted the gift, it was from his human

He doesn't admit to you that since he has it, he can confess his problems to Mr. Crow and is not ridiculed.

(He's secretly practicing how to pick you up on Mr. Crow)

Leviathan

Last time you also made him a mascot, but Levi cried because of it (It was plushie snake and it remindes him of Henry 1.0)

So this time, you try again and sewed him a mascot of golden fish!

"You made Henry 2.0?!"

You thought he was going to cry again, and you were right (but this time they were tears of happiness)

"MC, I love you, I love for this!"

For a few days he didn't know what he said to you and cried into his stuffed fish

Satan

I don't need to tell you what kind of stuffed animal he got? (Of course cat)

He was amazed (too much)

"Kitty..."

He called it by your name because he thinks it reminds you

He loves to pretend it's real cat and even gives it milk

Asmodeus

You thought for a long time what to do for Asmo and a bunny would be good for him

"Awww, thank you MC! It's soo cute!"

Asmodeus did a big photoshoot with his bunny and also made a bunny suit to match with it

He also does a spa in his bathroom with it

You once caught him wearing masks and cucumbers on his face with his Asmo Junior (yes, he called it Asmo Junior (because it's pink))

Beelzebub

You made a stuffed burger for Beel

He tried to eat it a few times, but stopped because it's a gift from you, after all

"Thank you MC, I love it. I will defend him."

Unfortunately, Beel couldn't help but munch on the burger

But you patched it up and Beel didn't have to worry about the holes he made by his mouth

Belphegor

You made him a plushie cow but purple

Also it's very big so he can lie on it or sleep on Blueberry (it's cute name)

"Thank you for making this for me. It's so soft..."

He told you to lie down with him on Blueberry and just chill

Belphie likes not having to ask Beel to sleep with him (because Blueberry is almost as big as Beel)

Voretober 15 - Beauty

Length: 2000 words Vore type: F/M oral vore, reluctant prey Fandom: Pokemon Other info: Seviper pred, human prey, sexual content, slight exhibitionism? Summary: Beauty Jessica takes her friend to a sauna and convinces him to get eaten with her. It ends awkwardly.

A pair of friends sat at a table at Kecleon Kafe, one with a warm bowl of soup, and the other slowly making her way through a sandwich.

"So is it difficult to train Pokemon?" Dylan asked, trying and failing to scoop up some more noodles. "I mean, you've gotta spend so much time looking that pretty, and on top of that… well, I can't imagine battles are exactly clean endeavors."

Jessica gestured impatiently for herself as she finished her bite. "Ahem. Well, I'm not exactly looking to challenge the League or anything, so it's more of a leisure activity than a real time sink. Besides, it's my girls who get dirty in a fight - not that Leona or Sevy ever mind a spa trip."

Dylan raised his eybrows. "Really? I understand Leona, since Kecleons are… kinda the mascot of this area, but I'd think spas wouldn't take too kindly to snakes, especially Poison-types."

A mischeivous giggle escaped the young Beauty. "Mm, I thought so too, at first, so… her first few visits were not exactly disclosed to the staff. I only worked up the courage to ask about Sevipers on my fourth or fifth trip." She glanced at her phone. "Speaking of, I should head over there if I want to sneak in a spa day today. Care to join me?"

"By which you mean, care to pay for it?" Dylan deadpanned, but with a friendly smile.

"Am I so transparent?"

"You'd give Leona a run for her money."

"Please? I wanted to pick up a new bottle of scale oil for the girls, but that plus a trip to the sauna is a bit more than I'm carrying." Jessica carefully dabbed her mouth with a napkin, then leaned in on her elbows. "Besides, it's not like you don't get something out of it."

Dylan drank down the last of his soup. "Fine, fine. But hey, as your friend, don't get in the habit of letting guys give you money to see you naked, okay?"

Jessica feigned outrage, "hey, what kind of girl do you think I am?"

"A broke bitch, clearly." Dylan dodged the thrown straw wrapper, gathered his garbage, and stood up. "So, to the spa?"

"To the spa," Jessica concurred.

One short walk and a pair of spa admissions later, Dylan found himself locking his clothes in a locker. With a towel around his waist, he quickly made his way to a small sauna room. Inside, Jessica and her Pokemon already sat - herself on the bench in a towel, her Kecleon laying across her lap, and her Seviper surprisingly un-zigzagged across the floor. On his arrival, the Ninetales resting next to the stone and water buckets stood and made a sound of alarm. Jessica jolted back to focus and looked at him.

"Oh, we arrived together. He's fine." At her words, the Ninetales gave Dylan a cautionary look, but laid back down on the floor. "Thanks though, Ninetales."

Jessica beckoned her friend over, and he sat next to her, being careful to step over Sevy's bladed tail. With his hands folded conspicuously in his lap, he did his best to relax next to her. This lasted all of ten seconds before the Beauty nudged him and wiggled a bottle of oil. "Wanna help me put it on them?"

"I'm trying to relax," Dylan groaned.

"And I'm trying to help!" At his incredulous look, she explained, "the steady, repetitive motions are very calming - especially with Sevy - their scales feel nice to rub, and…" she looked pointedly at his crotch, "it'll take your mind off of things for a little. Plus, I bet Sevy will give you a massage if you give her one."

Dylan looked at the Seviper, who smiled back at him. "Being a snake, I think she'll give me one regardless," he said. Sevy nodded, and Dylan smirked at his friend. "Sorry, Jess, they're your Pokemon to take care of."

"Can't blame me for trying." She shrugged and tapped her Kecleon on the back. "Leona, you're up. I'll probably oil up Sevy while she's doing her thing to you."

Leona carefully climbed off of Jessica's lap and stood expectantly before her Trainer. The woman in question unwrapped her towel from around herself, folded it on the bench, and, bare, crouched in front of the Kecleon with the scale oil. Dylan flushed red, and not just from the heat. His friend had quite the body, after all, and he was certainly not immune. The three Pokemon all seeming to stare at him didn't help his nerves any, either, though at least Jessica was focused on Leona.

After a long minute, a minor salvation came in the form of Sevy slithering off the floor and across his lap. The snake may have known exactly how hard his dick was pressing against his towel - and now against her scaly body - but it showed less than the poor showing his hands had made. Sevy made eye contact with him again and nodded; Dylan silently rubbed her crest and back in thanks.

Jessica was just finishing up with Leona, kneeling on the far side of the Kecleon but, thanks to the Pokemon's camouflaging ability, still giving her friend a clear view of her chest, bush, and everywhere inbetween, when Sevy spoke up, "Vipa vi." Jessica capped the bottle of oil and rubbed off the last bits from her hands onto Leona's horns, then walked over to them.

"I think she wants to give you that massage. You ready?"

"I kinda like her here…" Dylan muttered, "but sure. What do I do, lay on the floor or something?"

Sevy slithered off of his lap and up to her Trainer, bumping her snout into her in pursuit of rubs and other affection. Jessica idly ran her hands over the Seviper's head as she said, "nah, just take the towel off, then put your feet in her mouth."

Dylan had half-undone his towel when the rest of her words sunk in. "I… think I misheard you."

Jessica shrugged. "I mean, she could start at your head instead, but I find it much more relaxing to keep your head out as long as possible."

The blood previously rushing to Dylan's head promptly reversed course as he paled in fear. "You're joking, right?"

"No, I've done it plenty of times - just before a shower, of course; can't go out smelling like snake drool - and she's gotten really good at making it feel nice." Jessica put her hand to her chin in thought, then grinned. "I know! I'll go with you! Sevy, think you can take us both?"

Sevy looked between her Trainer and her Trainer's friend, then nodded with a confident, "Sevaaa!"

Jessica took a seat next to him

"That will do the opposite of keeping me calm."

"So you don't want to?"

Dylan drummed his hands against the bench, faster and faster, until, with a frustrated exhale, he stood up, took his own towel off, and sat carefully on the offered lap. With his erection on plain display, he did his absolute best not to think too hard about how soft Jessica's bare body was, how he could feel her breasts squish against his back, how every breath and every heartbeat was-

Dylan grimaced. This wasn't working. "Jess, I don't think this is going to-"

Sevy interrupted his train of thought by wrapping her jaws around his and Jessica's feet. Once again, a cold fear gripped his mind, one he, for once, appreciated… to an extent. The snake's squishy throat muscles quickly slid up his shins, pressing his legs against squishy flesh on one side and the much firmer legs of his friend on the other. As she rounded their knees, his heart hammered against his ribcage - even though Jessica had said it was safe, there was something about watching and feeling a giant snake devour him without a problem that he couldn't shake.

To make matters worse, he was still distressingly hard. As Sevy's snout crept closer to his crotch, it got even more difficult to ignore, not to mention the smug look she gave him. He could swear she paused between swallows when his dick rested against her scales for longer than usual, and it brought back the memory of the Seviper laying on him. After a few false starts, he managed to stammer out, "uh, Jess… is it possible that Sevy has a crush on me?"

"Hmm? Y- wait." Hearing her voice brought the rest of her back to his focus, for good or bad. She was breathing much slower than he, so he was, as he knew, overthinking things, but that didn't mean he took her head on his shoulder, looking down at her Seviper - and therefore, his dick that the snake was balancing on her snout - any better. Jessica sighed, and Dylan did his best to think about how they were both being eaten, rather than how they were spooning naked. "Sevy, are you teasing this poor man? Stop it, that's my job."

"Wait, what's that supposed to-" Any further words or thoughts were immediately cut off when Jessica wrapped her arms around him, squeezing him harder against her. In one quick go, Sevy opened her jaws wide and swallowed hard, pulling his hips from the hot, humid sauna, to the hotter, wetter, and soft embrace of her throat. Dylan gasped and bit his tongue to keep quiet as, thrashing in the grip of both snake and Beauty, he came, shooting his seed between Sevy's throat walls and his own belly.

When he finally came down from the high, panting hard, he realized the Seviper's jaws had climbed his chest. Shame burned at him, not just for Jessica's sake, but also because the Ninetales was giving him A Look. "S-sorry…" he mumbled, lacking the energy for much else. A wave of pressure rolled down his body, and Sevy's fangs rested to either side of his neck. She opened a bit wider and nudged Dylan's chin down with her upper jaw.

"Not your fault," replied Jessica, though her earlier energy was greatly reduced, "if anything, we could blame Sevy for teasing you."

From beside them, an invisible Leona chimed in with a "Kehhhhhh." Jessica grumbled. "…yes, fine, and me. I shouldn't have pushed you to try this." One final swallow, and Sevy's jaws closed over them, replacing the warm light of the sauna with utter darkness, the hiss of steam with the squish of wet flesh and the occasional gurgle.

"Mmrph," Dylan said, before turning his head to not speak directly into Seviper throat. "And how you pushed me certainly didn't help."

The gravity around them shifted - presumably, Sevy was stretching out again on the floor. Dylan and Jessica eventually settled on their sides. "I… yeah, sorry. I thought you would have enjoyed it."

"I did! Too much, as I'm sure you realized!" He let out a frustrated sigh. "And after all that help Sevy was with hiding my boner at first…"

The snake around them began to twist and undulate, pressing in in rhythmic squeezes. "I suppose I should be glad my Pokemon isn't better than me at flirting," Jessica mumbled.

"That was supposed to be flirting?!"

"Case in point." Behind him, Dylan felt Jessica's chest swell and contract with a sigh. "Would you rather be back outside?"

Dylan was silent for a while, taking in the sounds of Sevy's stomach groaning around them, the squishing of wet flesh against wet flesh, and the shifting heat and pressure from the snake around him and the woman behind him. "…no, this is… nice. Let's just… enjoy this for now, and talk after."

Jessica nodded, and the two of them relaxed in the sauna-within-a-sauna, each trying to get their emotions and thoughts in order, or at least away for awhile.

[sadnesslaughs]

Thor is chosen once a century. Mjolnir comes in many forms, but each is a tool and each is tailored to its wielder’s job. Which explains why Derek, in accounting, found a new fancy pen at his desk one day.

(A response to a writing prompt)

No one knew how to approach Derek. He was just one of those people that existed in the background of an office, like an office plant or water cooler. No one disliked him or anything, they just didn’t know how to start a conversation with the man. They would approach his desk, only to find him buried in a spreadsheet or pile of documents, unresponsive to the world outside of his work. Some of his braver colleagues would try to start a conversation, only to find that task too taxing, giving up before he could even give them a mutter of acknowledgement.

Perhaps that’s why Mjolnir favored him? A man that dedicated deserved some assistance with his work, so he was granted the mighty pen of Mjolnir. A pen that glided along paper like skates on ice.

“Knocky, knock.” Lisa smiled, tapping the grey wall of his cubicle. Lisa had always tried to appear friendly when she greeted Derek, even bringing him a small chocolate bar as an offering for what she was about to ask him. “Hey, I know you’re super busy Derek, and I don’t mean to cause you anymore headaches, but I’m a little concerned about my latest pay slip.”

Derek paused his crime podcast, pulling his headphones out. Mjolnir was fantastic. With this new pen, his job felt like a day at the spa, able to multitask with maximum efficiency. Getting to enjoy all the tasks he never usually had time for. “Yes, Lisa? Did I make a mistake?” Derek knew it was impossible for him to make a mistake, especially with Mjolnir in his hands, yet he still said it in the hopes it would make him sound more down to earth and approachable.

“I believe so. Um, here. A chocolate?” she muttered, staring at the honeycomb bar in her hand, wearing a confused expression like she wasn’t sure why she had been holding it. Placing the chocolate on his desk, she expressed her concerns. “I know you always try to look out for us, but this pay slips all wrong. It says I’m earning an extra thirty grand this year.”

“That’s correct.” Derek stated, wondering if that was all she wanted to ask.

“Correct?” She stammered, trying to figure out how any of that could be correct. “Its an extra thirty grand. There’s no way I’m earning that. No one’s spoken to me about a pay rise. Was there an email I missed?”

“No email needed. The company said if I could save them five million dollars this year, they would let me increase the wages of our department. A few adjustments to our books and a clever switching of manufacturers for certain elements of our business, and I was about to save ten million dollars. Double their asking amount. Which means you should be entitled to another thirty grand on top of the current amount. Although I’ll need to discuss that with our boss.”

Lisa didn’t know what to say. She had gone to accounting expecting to have the extra money ripped away from her hands, instead she was told it would double soon. She stayed quiet before her eyes watered. “You don’t know how much this means to me.” She said, almost tackling Derek out of his office chair as she hugged him.

Derek didn’t know what to do when she squeezed him into her embrace, only softly patting her back in response. “Finally, I can take some time off. I won’t need to work those extra shifts. I can go watch my girls play soccer.”

“I’m glad.” Was all Derek said, giving a soft smile. “Would you like some chocolate?” While it felt rude to offer her gift back, Derek thought she needed it more. Lisa nodded, clutching the bee mascot on the wrapper, holding the chocolate to her chest.

“You care about us a lot, don’t you? Even though we don’t talk to you that much.” Lisa stared at her shoes, almost feeling like she didn’t deserve his kindness. While that thought circled her mind, Derek looked up at her, continuing to grin.

“Of course I care. Everyone here makes an effort to say hi to me. I understand I’m not the most approachable person, so I appreciate the thought. The gesture alone makes me happy.” Derek held a box of tissues up for Lisa, who quickly accepted two of them.

“I’m glad. I’m glad you see the effort.” She dabbed her eyes with the tissue, still lingering in the cubicle. “Why don’t you grab lunch with us all this Friday? We’ll pay.”

Derek looked at his phone screen, seeing that he still had twelve hours left on the Hunchridge ice killer episode of his favorite podcast. He had hoped to get through it by the end of his work week, but perhaps the ice killer could wait. “I’ll be there. Just send me the details.”

When Lisa left his cubicle, he got up, heading to get some tea. Rounding the corner of his cubicle, he spotted a line of his co-workers, each one holding their pay slips in the same confused manner in which Lisa had previously held hers. “Perhaps I should have put it in an email.” He sighed, inviting them into his cubicle.

25!

25. hey - what are you working on right now?

Joy and Tragedy! Joyah Tali's Hidden Face!

16/04/19

Joyah Tali surprised the world with her sudden return to the public eye exactly one month ago, standing on the stage of the Pallasite Museum of Heroics alongside Spectacle Mascot Rosette and her former partner Saturn V, but ever since her return, the city has been wondering what happened. The apparently cruel exterior caught by the cameras seemed nothing like the cool but considerate hero of five years ago. Matters worsened as hushed rumours began to spread that after the press conference, Tali was sighted around the city, hunting for the fugitive known as Livewire. She was declared rogue on Tuesday, 26 March 2019 and apprehended approximately one week later.

In the Marble Falls Spa in Morningside, I had the opportunity to talk to Ms. Tali, who was on rest and recovery after her ordeal. The woman I talked to, however, was not the cold blooded killer which has been infiltrating public perception. Rather, she was a sensitive, reserved individual still healing from great loss. Joyah Tali has had a hard life. After STAR’s meteoric rise to success and the swirling mixture of acclaim and controversy that came with their marketable brand and adoption of teen sidekick “Rabbit Boy”, Joy and Bruno “Tecton” Tali became very close indeed. After the unfortunate accident that lead to his death, Joyah found herself adrift, sinking below the public eye, working below the radar. Joy fought against the more insidious villainy that public heroes cannot engage. She became a recluse, solitary and quiet, never reaching out for what she believed to be practical reasons; Heroics is a career where people die, heroes and villains alike. Joy told me in no uncertain terms that she doesn’t want to get close to people with that being the case. She “can’t do it again.” [09:59] But of course, she already is close to people. Riley Abbott, the Leaping Lagomorph Hero, expressed how he misses Joy to me recently, and how he regretted how emotionally distant she had become. Gravitas, the Icon of the Forgotten, mentioned Joy as a friend. Even without trying, she has touched the lives of others. No one is an island, even if they’re the ocean.

All of this is not to say, of course, that her actions have been excusable. To take the life of another is never justified, but now that she is on probation with MARC, perhaps her peers will be able to once again show this hard-hearted aquatic hero the feeling of true compassion. Joy’s main motivation for heroics is to ensure that no one goes through what she had to, but perhaps now she can inspire hope in the hopeless, rather than fear in the fearsome.

“I will try, as hard as I can, to save every life in need of saving, and to never let apathy cloud my view.

I will strive to remember that being a hero is more than just fighting dangerous villains; it's being a role-model to those in need of one.

I will not be ashamed to ask others for help, as a real hero can forego their pride to serve the public good.

I will protect all people equally, regardless of what brings them to the present day.

I will remember that to protect others, I must also care for myself, and will make efforts to ensure my own health.”

Sincerely, Fluffy Crescent, Sunset Herald.

Okay okay, now that you've listened to Long Live the Iron Horse I am dying to know what you think of Skarloey being the little brother instead of Rheneas

like this.

ok ok /srs now. I've actually never viewed one of them as being older than the other? The way I interpreted their relationship was that while they have very different ways of showing care for each other (and the other members of their family!), the way they feel for each other is pretty similar. in fact if you forced me to assign one of them as the older brother I don't think I could

(Long Live the Iron Horse spoilers under the cut!)

but i like it!! it definitely makes Rheneas' protectiveness hit home even harder (in case it didn't already...) and also just hurts extra when you take into consideration how he was essentially neglecting Skarloey just so he could secure a place for the two of them on the railway.

i think even in Long Live the Iron Horse Rheneas and Skarloey still aren't that different in age, maybe a couple months at most, which is like. Minutes in human time. Rheneas is probably just more "mature" because of his personality, he had absolutely no obligation to take such a heavy weight onto his metaphorical shoulders but he did anyway, which just makes this hurt so much better.

it's the way that despite their age difference being so small, Rheneas still thinks that he has to be the one to protect Skarloey (well, he kind of had to either way...). I don't know how long Rheneas would have lasted if he didn't have Skarloey as his reason for waking up and getting to work every morning.

It's the way Rheneas just refuses to tell Skarloey anything bad at the time, for fear of ruining Skarloey's "innocence". He didn't need to carry everything himself, he had every opportunity to visit Skarloey and just let things off his metaphorical chest. Skarloey was naive but he wasn't stupid, he'd know to be sympathetic if he heard of the things his brother sat through for him. But still Rheneas kept things to himself because he couldn't possibly burden his little brother with something so traumatizing.

It's the way he keeps quiet about this for 157 years, still holding onto the belief that his little brother was innocent after all this time. How even after everything, he couldn't muster up the courage to tell his brother the truth to his face, but rather through a proxy of the priest.

Judging by the ending I think Rheneas had long since acknowledged that Skarloey was more than mature enough to handle the truth. Heck, has known the truth for some time. I think he just didn't want to acknowledge it, because it symbolized his failure as an older brother, that despite making every decision to protect Skarloey he still failed.

tldr: i love it!! i'm a sucker for protective older brothers who take all the burden upon themselves because they don't want to ruin their younger siblings' innocence! only for them to turn around and realize that their younger sibling is all grown up and don't need to be protected anymore!

[pixelchills]

Another odd question but your world is oddly intriguing; How much enrichment is usually allowed for an animutant? From what I can tell most aren’t specifically given anything to play with since the playing cards and coloring book Moon brings Sun aren’t really theirs so much as things he took from the daycare, and the glamrocks would obviously have access to their own activities. DJMM doesn’t seem to really have anything but they could be an outlier since they’re big enough I could believe making a toy or getting frequent enrichment for something like that would be difficult and costly.

In my mind it makes sense to give them some kind of enrichment since play could be useful in keeping them healthy and out of trouble(Bored animals are more likely to lash out and bored humans do all sorts of dumb things) and because Moon was already provided candy aimed at keeping his teeth sharp. Like are Roxy and Freddy provided chew toys? Does Chica have one of those weird preening brush things(the ones used to remove excess wax from feathers)? It seems cheaper than constantly buying them treats to just let them reuse the same toys for the same purpose.

Ok so this is actually going to be sort of a very minor spoiler for the next chapter, but the Animutants are, indeed, given enrichment too. It all sort of comes down to how important people think they are; for example, Freddy would get more stuff than anyone else if he just asked for it (but knowing Freddy he might be a bit too humble). It is kinda up to the owners how much they want to give to their mutants.

I'd think Chica or Roxy would request nail polish or make-up or extra clothing etc.

Moon for example got video game consoles and games and books from El Chip because El could request them from the staff, being the sister location's main mascot.

Sunrise did get his very own teddy bear when he first arrived at the old location. He just either never asked for anything else, or he did and was turned down or his request was forgotten by the staff member he asked for it, so he just started collecting used stuff instead.

I'd think that since Moon and Vanessa are in such good terms, Moon could ask her to get the message forward to let them have something nice for him and Sun. But since the two of them are happy with something very little too, they got their Daycare, which seems to be enough. :)

Also, I haven't really thought that far but would assume the animal-based animutants with sharp teeth have some sort of chewing toys or other specific items they could use, same goes for Chica with her beak and feathers. I think Chica's spa day would include taking care of her feathers and Monty's taking care of his scales/skin.

💕🍄The 12 Days of Ayumu 🍄💕

July 9th, Day 4 of Ayumu’s Birthday Celebration Countdown!!

Today we’ll be finishing up his first Peach Fanclub booklet and looking some diary entries!

(***Quick disclaimer on the diary entries: our boy’s handwriting is trash!! so I cannot guarantee everything is 100% correct! If you see any mistakes feel free to reach out so I can fix them. I did my best but it was rough! ><)

May 19

That girl bought this diary thing and so now, for some reason, I’m trying it out, too.

I’m always using my smartphone or computer to manage my schedule, so I guess writing like this will be a fresh way to change things up a bit.

Today I went to work in the morning. I made coffee for Kaga like always and then we had a meeting.

For the first time in a while, that girl messed up in class. I watched her for a bit and, yep, as I had suspected, she was overloaded with different tasks.

Not only that, but she was worn out, too.

I’ll have to check when our next days off are. If they match up, I think I’ll take her to the spa. Although, taking her to a beauty buffet like last time might also be a good idea?

May 20th

I got a sudden call from Kaga while I was at Namba’s birthday celebration.

I’m not sure what he’s doing right now, and I didn’t ask in the first place. I get the impression when he occasionally calls like that he’s just calling to confirm that he’s alive.

I hope everything is fine. In our occupation, it’s not that uncommon for someone to die.

My present was a sake chosen by Kaga. It’s Kaga’s favorite sake. So I wasn’t able to distract myself by giving it to Namba..

Namba was in the west until the other day. The souvenirs he brought back were local mascots. There was a definite look in his eyes that said to not say anything about how ugly it was. I just put it in a drawer instead.

About two hours later there was something to do, so the celebration ended.

I wonder when he’ll call next. Everyone from Namba’s section, and that girl too, seemed to want to see him again…

So, how was the first edition? Honestly, I don’t think I can reread something that’s just about me... The next time will be a special birthday edition. Well, see you then!

Thank you to @world-a-to-z​ for screenshots of the booklets!

Stay tuned for more Ayumu content in the upcoming days! You’ll find links to all the posted content here!

OBEY ME! LESSON 47 DETAILED SUMMARY + THEORIES

The lesson starts with Simeon and Levi laughing over how Lucifer forgot Diavolo in the game. Belphie complains about what a pain in the ass it was cause Lucifer made Belphie and some of the others go back into the game to get Diavolo and how Belphie had to start with the party at the beginning and so was unable to straight away teleport them to the castle and how as it was the second play through everything was harder and how diavolo had been so pissed he’d given them all the silent treatment, though Belphie did end up chuckling about how much that had freaked out Lucifer. Belphie says that as an apology Lucifer had finished all of Diavolo’s paper work and given him a free day off so Diavolo would be visiting. Levi says that he’ll be shutting himself in his room then and when MC asks about it Levi says that it’s not like Diavolo is coming to see him and it’s not like he cares about seeing Diavolo either. That truthfully he doesn’t really like Diavolo all that much cause he’s too serious and scary and cause they share no interests so Diavolo won’t have any idea what Levi talks about and how he’s scared he’ll say something dumb in front of him and piss Lucifer off. He makes MC promise him to him away from Diavolo. Belphie says that you shouldn’t spend time with a person you don’t like anyway. Simeon says that maybe you should take the opportunity to get to know a person better before you decide whether you like them. MC can agree with either Simeon or Belphie. Simeon then gets a call from Lucifer asking him to send the other 3 home cause Diavolo has gone missing.

At home Belphie says maybe Diavolo actually ran away from home to freak out Lucifer as revenge for the whole game thing. Satan and Beel greet them at the door. Satan to show them something funny and Beel to get one of Simeon’s sandwiches from Belphie. Satan takes them to the living room where Lucifer is pacing and screaming down the phone at Barbatos, yelling about not  being able to find anything yet and demanding Barbatos calls him the second something turn up and if he can’t get to him then one of the others, before keeping the call and trying to figure out who else he can call and traumatise. Mammon is trying to get Lucifer to sit down and calm down and breath for fuck’s sake. Mammon gets yelled at for his efforts cause how the fuck can Lucifer calm down when Diavolo is missing. Except, yeah Diavolo might follow a stranger if they offer him candy, but y’know Diavolo’s an ancient incredibly powerful being I’m sure Lucifer can afford to calm down a little but whatever. Mammon tries to get MC to calm Lucifer down and honestly I love Mammon so much he’s such a good brother is2g. If Mc commands Lucifer to stay he um “EEKs”? and then blushes about the sound he just made (I’m not into romancing Lucifer at all but am I the only one who thinks he’s turned on by MC’s power over him despite his whole Sadistic Dom personality? It happened once or twice in the very beginning of S2 as well) According to Asmo while Diavolo had been going through the portal to the human world Barbatos, who has the flu, had sneezed and now they have no idea where in the human world Diavolo ended up. With the saddest expression Lucifer says, “Oh Diavolo, where have you gone!?” and I’m??? You want me to let MC come in between that!!? Lowkey wish OM! Did something like the Arcana where when MC picks a LI, a couple of the remaining LI get together. In every version where MC doesn’t pick Lucifer I desperately want him and Diavolo to get together and in the versions that MC picks either Lucifer or Diavolo I want there to be the option for the three of them to be in a poly relationship, pls. MC asks why they can’t just call Diavolo and Mammon says they’ve tried a bunch of times but being unable to. Levi says he knows someone who might be able to help

Levi takes them all to his room and Asmo is in tears as he tells levi it’s fine if his friend is imaginary cause asmo has a lot of imaginary friends – aka in his words first he imagines a beautiful man and then a beautiful woman and then well he imagines them all fucking and the fact that this otome game has 11 LIs and not a single one of them is straight is just…beautiful. I’m so happy wtf. Levi insits his friend exists and when MC says they believe him he says that even if he makes other friends that won’t displace MC’s role as his friend. Lucifer tells him to cut the BS. And it’s Alexa!? Levi introduces them to fucking Alexa and I’m screaming sir pls. It’s called Crowe here though and he completely dismisses MC’s “fnkfjkjdjkjkdvjkfd pls tell me you understand wtf that actually is” by saying how Crowe is always up to talk to Levi about any interest Levi brings up and the rest of the brothers are greatly impressed while MC goes through a crisis in the corner. Beel asks if there’s a little person inside it who talks and casts spells. Belphie while blushing asks if he can talk to crowe and I can’t fucking believe after 3 seasons MC’s gonna be replaced by fucking Alexa. Belphie asks crowe if it’s Levi’s friends and gets a “If you say so” which Levi gets really excited about and what it likes about levi and gets “how he’s able to turn everything into a negative thing” which levi takes as a compliment and this is really sad guys but then again I did once spend weeks trying to get Siri to agree to date me so… Belphie then asks Crowe to turn Lucifer into a rabbit, it obviously doesn’t work. Levi asks crowe where Lord diavolo is and MC becomes increasingly more annoyed at being the only sane person in the room. Crowe obviously doesn’t know how to answer that.

Asmo asks about the sensitive spots on Lucifer’s body (wtf asmo c’mon) and Satan asks for Lucifer’s weaknesses, Crowe answers with “I’m sorry. I can’t answer that” which the brothers take to mean that crowe knows but is refusing to say. Lucifer threatens him to keep quiet and Crowe says he understands, Belphie is upset that Lucifer threatened crowe and Levi says he made Crowe sad. All the while MC is losing their mind and insisting that Crowe’s just tech, while the brothers all ignore and talk over them. In what is probably a fit of jealous rage MC commands the brothers to all sit the fuck down and explains to them that crowe really is just an electronic device. Levi refuses to believe them and insists Crowe is his friend. This somehow leads to Levi giving crowe Diavolo’s phone number and Crowe tracking his phone and Lucifer remembers “oh yeah shit missing boyfriend”. They end up in a karaoke bar. The sweet relieved smile on Lucifer’s face when they find him is everything. Diavolo asks how he looks dressed as a human and MC compliments him. Mammon scolds Diavolo for worrying them and Asmo says he feels silly to have been so worried now, Lucifer tries to herd Diavolo back home but Diavolo says he can’t go cause a note on the door (in devildom script) says the room is cursed and only allows you to exit once you get a 100% score on the karaoke machine. Asmo’s pissed cause he has a spa/salon appointment, Levi has a gamin event, Beel has a buffet and Satan’s pissed cause he wanted to think up of more cat related hashtags he could try searching up and I’m- Lucifer says it’ll be easier to do the task than try to break the curse using magic and Diavolo agrees. Belphie says Diavolo looks way too happy. And look I’m just gonna say it now cause we ALL know it – Diavolo’s definitely behind this and using it as some way to hang out with the others.

Asmo’s happy about being able to sing karaoke and Levi complains but is also searching for anime songs so. Belphie and MC think the situation is strange cause doesn’t being in the human world mean this shit doesn’t happen to them anymore? Diavolo says the bar is owned by the three legged crow group (aka yatagarasu) – the Devildom’s largest holdings company and developers of the D.D.D.. Their mascot (Blackjak) is one of the chat stickers. Diavolo’s the majority shareholder of the company. They’ve been expanding to the human world as well, mostly because of demand from sorcerers and witches. They also developed crowe, with Levi having a prototype. Levi realising crowe’s not a real person starts crying (and wiping his face on Satan’s clothes) about crowe got him tickets for a band and how cause Levi thought crowe also liked them he made sure to buy two tickets for both him and crowe and I’m just this is so sad. MC takes the opportunity to sweep in and say y’know I’m your friend and hold Levi’s hand to which Levi blushes and thanks them. Crowe’s the one hosting the Karaoke and says if one person manages a 100 score everyone can leave and that to make things interesting he’ll be throwing in some surprises. Crowe: All right then, party on! Diavolo: PARTY ON!!!!! :D Lucifer: *SIGH*

Asmo goes first cause he’s the best singer they have, Levi complains about Asmo being good at everything when he has nothing and MC teases him about being the Avatar of Envy. Asmo nails the first part of the song but in the interlude as one of crowe’s surprises Asmo starts hearing his fans screaming to him (which no one else can hear) and starts the second part a bit late so his score is 88. As punishment for not scoring a 100 Crowe kills Asmo. Or rather he sends him to be tortured till someone is able to score 100 and set him free. Lucifer, as expected, is not pleased. Levi is excited about how this is suddenly a game of life or death. Lucifer is very much not pleased with that. Diavolo’s also extremely pleased. Lucifer’s going through it. Mammon (who was so busy picking out a song that he didn’t notice one of his brothers got kidnapped) volunteers to go next. Though he’s not as good as Asmo he’s apparently a very good singer and once sang lead vocals in a band at RAD. Mammon chooses a love Ballad “Even if I wind up as a demon, I’ll always love you” and oh baby… the brothers immediately realise Mammon fucked up when choosing the song, Diavolo goes ??? and MC ignores them all to do  what they always do best and that’s to be Mammon’s #1 cheerleader (still can’t get over how much MC took charge and planned everything during Mammon’s bday event and had the brothers start giving him his little presents/notes a whole week before the actual date, when in every other bday event they just took a backseat role and let the others plan and fix everything up while they distracted the bday person. Whether you ship them together or not you gotta agree Mammon’s got a real special place in MC’s heart.) Anyway MC cheers Mammon on and Mammon blushes and stutters and then refuses to sing the song cause he realises he just picked to sing a love song in front of the person he’s in love with and tries to switch his song last minute. But cause he completely missed his cue to start he gets scored 0 and sent to hell. Satan says Mammon should be fine cause he’s used to that sort of thing. Diavolo: :D WOW :D THIS :D IS :D TERRIBLE :D ! :D   Lucifer: Really, cause your face is saying something else entirely…

They all sit silently looking sad for a bit. Lucifer says Asmo & Mammon were their best chances of getting out with perfect scores, satan wonders (with a sad expression) where they are and what’s been done to them. Levi says let’s be real Asmo’s probably getting off rn. Lucifer says they need to focus on who’s here rn and getting out. Diavolo volunteers to go next and Lucifer shuts him down, Diavolo whines about it. MC asks if it’s cause Diavolo is the heir and they can’t risk losing him. Lucifer agrees. Diavolo reluctantly agrees but in exchange he wants Beel & Belphie to sing next together cause he once heard them at a RAD festival and they were amazing. Beel starts ordering everything on the menu. Lucifer says if they harmonize they might be able to get a perfect score. The twins sing perfectly together and Dia & Luci are beaming until Beel’s food order finally arrives by materializing on the table all Hogwarts style and well you can guess what happens then. Lucifer seems uncharacteristically rattled and upset by all this and I mean yeah he has to slowly watch his family disappear in front of his eyes while he’s unable to do anything about it – this is probably his worst nightmare. Plus if they don’t get out chances are he’s gonna end up stuck in a tiny room for the rest of his life so

They’re silent and sad for a bit till Satan says that Levi sings a lot of karaoke alone in his room. Levi says it’s not really karaoke and that he just puts on his headphones and sings along with the opening but also how does satan know that!? And satan says, well who doesn’t know that and Levi freaks out and turn to MC and they’re like lol yeah sorry and Levi freaks out more and wishes for death while Diavolo very happily says that Levi must be very talented and that he’d love to hear it someday and Levi starts floundering and deflecting. Satan says Levi shouldn’t be so modest cause usually when they go out to karaoke he doesn’t let any of them leave till he’s sung all his anime songs and Diavolo asks if Levi’s being shy cause he’s there. Levi blushes while Diavolo keeps complimenting him and encouraging him to sing and MC remembering their promise to Levi bails him out by basically saying he’d be too nervous around new people to get a perfect score and Diavolo lets it drop after Levi agrees with them. Satan’s need to leave and watch cat videos becomes too great and he volunteers and Lucifer happily encourages him. Diavolo gets closer to MC and says so did you do something to Lucifer again? Had one of your therapy sessions? And MC teases and says maybe. Diavolo happily says he knew o=it cause usually Lucifer isn’t willing to admit how highly he thinks of Satan and he actually calls MC a “family therapist” and I’m so glad someone finally said it, at this point MC should be getting paid is2g. Satan sings his favourite ballad and Diavolo compliments his singing while Lucifer just compliments Satan as a person in general for striving to do his best in everything and facing challenges with a cool head. Diavolo laughs about how much praise Lucifer’s giving out and Lucifer says he’s just stating the truth. Lucifer says satan should get a 100 until the tv starts showing cat videos, Lucifer yells at satan to not get distracted and satan is able to resist it until it starts showing a pile of sleepy kittens curled up together, who are starting to doze off. It’s too much for satan to stops the song to coo at them, he gets an 83 and is taken away. Levi says that even though it was fun at first he’s starting to get scared. Diavolo asks if Lucifer wants to go next.

Related to Filthy Boy and A Very Filthy Holiday

The first gift was a stuffed Gritty. 

You oohed and aahed over it because you loved the loveable troublemaking mascot of the Flyers. Travis rolled his eyes but you showed off your little Gritty to everyone. However, you kept the note that came with it to yourself. It simply read xoxo, your secret admirer. 

You were the average girl living in Philly so you were surprised to have a secret admirer. But, it was two weeks from Valentine’s Day and you were a romantic at heart so you were ready to ride it out for as long as you could, even if your secret admirer ended up being someone you weren’t attracted to. It was the thought that counted.

The second gift, four days later, was a gift card to Teuscher’s in the Bellevue. You looked at the gift card in a bit of shock. It was for $100 so whoever was your secret admirer, they had some good taste. That night, after an awful practicum, you treated yourself to champagne truffles and dreamed of the Flyers breaking their losing streak. After his game at MSG, you told Travis about it and he looked disgruntled.

The third gift was a vinyl of your all-time favorite album, 1989. When you told the boys on FT, Travis rolled his eyes. Nolan smirked while making eyes at Kia and Kia giggled. Kia replied, “Whoever this is, they have good taste.”

On day four, there wasn’t a gift waiting for you when you woke up and you felt strangely disappointed. However, after you returned home from your shift at work, there was a bottle of rose waiting for you. When you posted a picture of the rose in the group chat, everyone was happy for you except Travis. He sent a meh emoji and you felt angry and sad. If your FWB was mad that you were getting gifts from a secret admirer, he should have asked you out before now. In your opinion, a FWB was not the same as a boyfriend.

Your fifth gift was a pass for a spa day at the Four Seasons. According to the card, you could get as many treatments as you wanted, literally anything you wanted for that spa day. It went from 9am to 6pm and it was for you and three of your friends. Kia mentioned that if you didn’t want to date your secret admirer, she would take them off your hands. Hannah just talked about getting a hot stone massage for the rest of the day. You decided not to mention it in the group chat. Travis sent you a couple of messages and a FT call but you decided to ignore him too. 

The sixth gift came five days before Valentine’s Day and it was the most practical gift yet. You were still a poor, soon-to-be graduating college student and you needed a new winter coat for the Philly winters. Your coat, while it had held up well in California, it was finally done this year. You whistled when you looked at the coat. It was Moncler and whoever your secret admirer was, they had money. You weren’t label conscious or anything but this was almost too much to accept. Then you saw the tags were cut and you sighed. 

For the first time, you felt a bit sad. It was obvious to you that your secret admirer wasn’t Teeks. The gifts were super extravagant and Travis wasn’t extravagant like this. The greaseball hick was more at home in sweats, t-shirts, and his ironic baseball hats. You bit your lip as you put on the coat. You were already this far in, might as well ride it out.

Today was Valentine’s Day itself and luckily, on a weekend. The boys were finally back in town after an extended road trip but you were waiting to see what your secret admirer got you for a final gift. There was nothing waiting for you when you woke up and now, it was 6pm and there was nothing here. Kia was out with Nolan and you were by yourself. Hannah and Britt had gone out for drinks and you were watching cheesy movies while staring at your phone. Teeks hadn’t called you all day even though his IG story said that he was back in Philly. Then you heard a knock on the door.

You quickly got off the sofa, brushing popcorn off your hoodie and shorts. Opening the door,  you gasped when you saw Travis. He was dressed in one of his game-day suits, his gray-green eyes looking intensely at you.

“Hi,” you said as you gestured for Travis to come in. Part of you were happy; his attitude towards the gifts you received this week had you spoiling for a fight. Reading yourself for a snarky comment, you were taken aback when Travis took a jewelry box out of his pocket.

Travis softly stated, “This is for you.”

You gingerly took the box, opening it to show a labradorite necklace. You gasped as Travis smiled. 

“Happy Valentine’s Day from your secret admirer. Be my girlfriend?”

You looked at Travis with wide eyes. The snarky troublemaking spark plug on the ice who you did very filthy things with looked very vulnerable. He rambled, “I know, it’s kinda backward but fuck, I really like you and I want to be the only one dating you and you’re the only one I want-”

You giggled as Travis rambled. Then you got on your tip-toes and pressed your lips to Travis for a second before moving back. “Yes, I’ll be your girlfriend. You had me fooled though.”

Travis blushed. “I had to play it off. Everyone kept chirping me, you know.”

“How did you get all of the gifts to me,” you asked, curious.

“Kia was in on it,” Travis confessed. Then he gave you another soft smile before saying, “Happy Valentine’s Day, baby.”

“Happy Valentine’s Day.”
