I just want to say, your art is genuinely stunning. I don't know of anyone else who is making art that's even in the same genre. Not only is the concept of abstract furry art interesting, but your execution is perfect. I especially loved your cheetah piece.

Thank you so much! ^^ this means a lot. I've been making abstract furry art since 2019 and I don't intend to stop anytime soon. & I'm still super happy with that piece too!

Caim said nothing as she knelt before her father, who bequeathed his crown to rest it atop her head. From this moment on the corvid demon would be subjecting herself to the Goetian worldview that she spent most of her life running from, a thought that didn't sit well with her. Yet with her father's declining health, and the fact that her mother had been gone for quite some time, she was left with little choice. There was no way she would allow what her father had to fall into the hands of those who would abuse it, for it was the only inheritance she had after her mother's blade.

"I hereby bequeath to you everything I own, my status, and my crown. You have now taken my place among the aristocracy and are now the next Great President of Hell. I trust you will do me proud, Camio."

"Of course, Father," she said automatically, refraining from giving a roll of her eyes. Only the two of them were present at this crowning, which was highly unusual; it was the norm for a Goetia to have an outlandish, pompous ceremony when a crown or title was passed over, but due to the nature of their relationship and her birth, it was decided to be a quiet, private affair. Yet her father still wanted to add some form of ceremony to it, much to her annoyance.

"Still, it is a pity you did not go through with your prior engagement, or birthed an heir, but I suppose beggars can't be choosers."

"I have a wife, and if we are to have a child, they will become my heir."

"Stubborn as always, but I do hope you'd reconsider."

"And I hope that your legions are up to snuff. I refuse to take on dead weights."

And so the back and forth went on for some time, though it would not be long before news of Caim's appointment would reach the ears of the other Goetia.

I ship Caim and Inuart because Caim seems like he can be a bit of a softie (in his own way) when it comes to him and Caim and Leonard because toxic yaoi

//REALLLLLLLL godbless anon

//Cainuart is probably the best this fandom is going to get in terms of the "Ship something that's not Kaian" challenge (And don't get me wrong, I ADORE that ship!!! ...but there's more u could do if u aren't a coward 😈) though I'll be honest, it's never REALLY struck a chord with me?? I don't dislike it and it IS cute, but I have trouble getting interested as great of an idea as it is (THE WHOLE DYNAMIC AS FAR AS THEY'RE CONCERNED AS KIDS IS SO????? Arranged Marriage Fiancé x Arranged Marriage Fiancee's Brother is so...... but considering how lukewarm i am on inuarts character as a whole mainly with his role in the plot which is odd, he used to be my favourite lol i think that's why I'm not TOO invested despite the ship itself being really good

//AND THE SWORD FIGHTS!!!!!!;!;;;

//BUT ON THAT SAME NOTE ITS PROBABLY BECAUSE (and im realising this JUST as im typing this) I GENUINELY JUST WANT MORE FUCKED UP SHIPS IN THIS FANBASE

//like i want evil, fucked up shit!!!! Drakengard is all ABOUT evil fucked up people and their evil fucked up bonds together!!!!!! i dont want to back out at the last second and say "it all led up to them being wholesome, in the end!!! in this dark world, they at least have each other 😀" NO!!!!!!

//I WANT ""RELATIONSHIPS"" THAT ARE EVERY BIT AS EVIL AND FUCKED UP AS THE WORLD, THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES, AND THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES

//THEY WILL UNHEALTHILY PROJECT ONTO EACH OTHER

//THEY WILL HURT, MAIM AND ABUSE EACH OTHER (??? or one will, unless we're talking about 1.3 which hoohoohoo boy!!!!! hoohoohoo boy fuckinh babey!!!!!!!)

//THEY WILL FUCK WITH EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY DUBIOUS CONSENT ON BOTH ENDS THEY DO IT AS A FORM OF SELF-HARM (in the form of "Hates them and themself so much they think they deserve it and/or might as well accept it as karmic punishment" and "Hates them and themself so much for the idea of getting attached (and at the same time hating the fact the other can't reciprocate at all as much as they hate the concept that they would) the least they can do is make that their problem in the only way that benefits him, too")

//ill be honest, it might as well be noncon at a certain point but I've been having revelations lately that i dont have to care!!!! and i don't!!!!!!! I COULD TALK ABOUT THEM AND HOW ENDLESSLY TOXIC THEY ARE AND HOW THEY HAVE ENDLESS POSSIBILITY TO MAKE EACH OTHER BETTER BUT BECAUSE THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT ABOUT THEMSELVES WORKS AND WHAT DOESN'T THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT DRAGGING THE OTHER DOWN THEIR PIT OF ISSUES INSTEAD FOREVEEERRRRRR i may be on ic hiatus but anon!!!! please tell me about the toxic yaoisms forever i am OBSESSED and ALWAYS willing to hear i love them

thinking about caionard twitter

Caim (His last picture of him during his prince days as his profile picture, bio reads "Official account of Caim, 16th crowned prince of #Caerleon. Soldier of the Union. 24.", has positioned himself as the unofficial ambassador of a country that no longer exists): It was 13 years ago the Empire began its vicious assault on humanity. I have vowed I will not forget the lives lost as a direct result of its tyranny and will fight restlessly to put an end to it, as I swore to my parents on that day. The Empire will be CRUSHED. #STANDwiththeUnion

Chapter 4 Love, was it all in Vain?

"Yosh..." (Y/N) closes the textbook in her hands, "Class dismissed." she announces before leaving the room, rushing to where the misfits class would be for their rank advancement test.

She quickly headed down to the training area where she saw the group of students gathered, a smile forms on her face as she took out a camera, ready to record for her family, "Hey!!!" she called out, getting Kalego's attention, she was currently only visible to him.

He looked at her and didn't respond seeing as though the other students weren't looking at her.

"I came to watch, that's fine right?" She asks.

Kalego sighs and began to explain the rules to the students, (Y/N) took this as a sign of approval.

The cute explanation began and ended just as quickly as Kalego's fist shoved it to the ground making (Y/N) giggle, "You really don't like cute things do you?" she asks.

"I don't like things made by the headmaster." He replied.

He then went on to give the students their armbands and sent them to their teams before starting the match.

Caim immediately threw the match by trying to hand the ball to Elizabetta, a time out was called by the guys just to have a minute beating up the pervert bird.

"Hurry up and restart the match!" Kalego ordered.

The group went back to their side.

(Y/N) released the camera demon to record the match before turning to Kalego, "Ne, remember when you lost to me in execution ball cannon?" she asks while giggling.

Kalego huffed, "I don't remember useless things." he stated.

"Really? It was only a free play but I still think it's a win." she laughs, "If memory serves me right, we both ranked up because it took too long and the teacher got tired of watching." she says while looking on at the students in the playing field.

A chaotic match ensued.

"Agares, you're out for using magic on others besides the ball." Kalego states having the sleepy demon out of the field, whining about the others being loud.

A sigh came from Kalego, "About what you told me yesterday, why are you researching about cursed items?" he asks before calling Sabnock out after getting hit by Asmodeus.

(Y/N) hums, "I don't have to tell you anything do I?" she asks with a smirk while looking away.

Kalego facepalmed, "Valac, out." he called having seen Clara stupidly get hit by the ball she threw at Asmodeus.

He side eyed (Y/N), "I know what kind of demon you are, you wouldn't be researching about it without purpose." he states.

(Y/N) looks back at him, "Who's to say I haven't changed?" she shrugs, her expression became cold and serious, "As for my real answer, it's a secret." she stated in a tone of unwavering resolve, obvious to Kalego he won't get an easy answer.

"You've changed alright, in a sense that you've become even more annoying." He states, a little annoyed that he couldn't get a real answer out of her. 'Though, you're showing emotion these days, what really happened to you, (Y/N)?'

She laughs and turns back to game playing out, the players were kicked out one by one, more and more gathered in the outfield and two remained in the infield, Asmodeus and Iruma.

(Y/N)'s eyes widened as Asmodeus became fired up, though Iruma's head was in the game, it would be difficult for a human to deflect Asmodeus' throw let alone take it, she unconsciously began to fidget with her fingers, not going unnoticed by Kalego.

'There's something going on with these two.' He thought as the battle continued.

Iruma ran up and caught the ball, throwing it back at Asmodeus, grazing him by the shoulder, everyone stood in shock, (Y/N) let out a sigh of relief.

"Winner, team A!" Kalego announced, turning to (Y/N) who seemed to have a proud look on her face as she looked at Iruma with a bright smile. "What is your relationship?" he asked bluntly.

"Well..." (Y/N) smirks as she looks at him, "Who knows?" she says, taking her camera before turning to leave.

An irk mark appeared on Kalego's forehead, "Tch." he scoffed.

__

(Y/N) walked through the hallways humming as she thought about how she teased Kalego by withholding information, 'I should be more mysterious~' she thought with a smile.

Her walking was halted when an explosion came from a room, opening its door with thick black smoke and the sounds of coughing came from beyond the smoke.

"Oh dear..." The demon coughed, the smoke cleared out as a demon with short turquoise hair came into view, he had round glasses and only one horn.

(Y/N) immediately came to his aid, "Are you alright?" she asks, extending her hand out to him.

He looked over and took the hand, "Thank y--" he coughed, blood.

Her eyes widened and immediately let go to cast healing, "Are you really alright?!" she asked in panic.

"Y-yes, it's just that my body is naturally weak..." replied the student as (Y/N) continued to heal them.

"Is that so? Get up and get some rest then, here, let me help you." She says, picking the student up and guiding them back into the room where a wooden mat was laid out.

(Y/N) looked around the room while the student laid down and rested, "What kind of room is this used for?" she asks, looking around seeing the magic items.

'It could be useful to me.' She thought as she picked up an orb.

The student sat up and sat on his knees facing (Y/N)'s back, "This is the magical tools research batra, what you have there is an orb that glow when you put magic into it." he says.

"Really?" She asked as she poured some magic into it, making it glow. "It really does light up." she said in surprise while putting the magic tool down.

"I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Amy Kiriwo, the leader of this batra." He states.

"Leader? How many members does this batra have?" She asks.

The student shied away looking awkwardly, "S-so far...it's just me."

(Y/N) hums, "That's surprising." she says, walking over to the student placing an encouraging hand on his shoulder, "I heard from Dali-sensei that the batra challenge is coming up soon, I'm sure you'll find a few freshmen who'd be willing to join." she says.

Amy's eyes began to water, "You really think so?" he asks.

"Yeah, of course." (Y/N) smiled making the student blush.

'I-is this what meeting an angel is like?' He thought.

The two spoke about some of the magic tools found in the room, until (Y/N) brought up something that had been on her mind for quite some time by then.

"Do you know anything about cursed items?"

Amy placed a hand on his chin, "Cursed items...As far as I know they've all been disposed of by the former demon king, beyond that knowledge about them have been pretty scarce." he says.

"In Babyls' catalog in the library, there's a book explaining the creation and origins of cursed magic items, there's only one book and it's written by Delkira himself, I haven't been able to find it though no matter how much I look, not even the librarian seems to know where it is." he sighs.

'I have it at home...' (Y/N) thought with a deadpan look.

"In any case, if you were to say, find a cursed item, what would you do?" She asks.

His eyes began to twinkle, "I'd do research on it immediately of course! The origin, how was it made, and who and where it came from, I--" Amy coughed up blood after overexerting his body from being too excited.

(Y/N) looked away in thought of whether to show him her staff or not, being in possession of a cursed magic tool can alter the netherworld pretty heavily, especially the knowledge of how to create one, it was quite risky but she thought it'd be fine as long as he didn't know how to create one.

"Actually, I have a cursed item with me." She says as she took out her staff from the holster on her back.

"E-Eh?!" Kiriwo promptly passed out due to shock.

(Y/N) sweat ran cold at the sight and sighed, "I'll come back another time." she says, writing a note and leaving it on the table before leaving.

'I haven't thought to check the library's catalogue yet, I only found the book through a streak of luck, I should go see if there's more about cursed magic items hiding in there.'

While thinking, (Y/N)'s feet had walked her to the direction of the library.

__

'No, there's really nothing other than that one book, not even scrolls or anything, damn it Delkiraaaa!' (Y/N) sighed.

"Looking for something?" A familiar voice asks.

(Y/N) whips her head around and greets, "Dali-san, you're here, I'm just looking for more things about cursed items, the book I borrowed was really interesting." she stated with a smile.

"Ah, that's right, I brought the books and a few scrolls that I promised, I do have to warn you though, reading and learning about cursed items can rouse suspicion, knowledge on its creation is pretty dangerous." Dali states, his eyes closed as usual.

His eyes opened slightly as he looked at her with a more serious look, "There's a reason Delkira-sama disposed of everything regarding cursed magic items, those that remain are coded in riddles."

(Y/N) nods, "I understand, I'll try to satiate my curiosity with the little knowledge you give me." she says with a gentle smile.

"Good, let's head back to the teachers lounge, I left them at my desk." He says.

__

"Here you go, hm?" Dali looked over as he handed (Y/N) two scrolls and three books, "I swear I brought three scrolls..." he stated worriedly.

(Y/N) hummed, "Did you misplace one?" she asks.

Dali shook his head, "I was sure I had it all here, someone must've took it." he looks around the room with sharp eyes before turning his attention back to (Y/N) as she opened up one of the books.

He lets out a sigh and slumps his shoulders with a shrug, "I'll just have to look for it later on." he says.

"Is a book on cursed familiars also important to learning about cursed items?" (Y/N) asks, lifting her head up from the book.

Dali chuckles, "No, I figured since you were learning about cursed things you might find cursed familiars interesting." he clarifies.

(Y/N) nodded, the two other books were, Demon's Guide to Making Magic Tools, and Delkira's Century Long Journey Of Purging Cursed Items. The scrolls were a written copy of Delkira's notes when he destroyed each of the cursed items he gathered.

"I circled the page numbers of the pages you should read up on in the page list of each book, I can't exactly tamper with the scrolls so you'll have to read them on your own if you want to learn, and just so you know, the scrolls are my family's keepsake so please don't damage them." Dali stated worriedly.

"Got it." She says, then casting protection magic on both scrolls. "I'll be sure to return them once I'm done."

Dali smiles before looking up at the clock on the wall, "I'm about to have a class, I'll see you around (Y/N)-chan." he says, waving as he left the room.

'I guess I'll get going too.' (Y/N) thought as she placed the books and scrolls at her desk, preparing to leave to teach her next class.

__

(Y/N) got home, books and scrolls at hand, she opens the door greeted by Opera, she hand them her things to bring to her room before excitedly announcing, "I got everything on full video! So hurry up and put those away, call dad and bring snacks, you have to watch it!" she exclaims, bringing out the camera.

Opera's ears twitched, "Right away." they state before dashing away.

A laugh came from (Y/N) as she called out to Sullivan, moving to the living room with him as Opera brought them snacks, the video of Iruma playing execution ball cannon played on full DeviHD.

"Uwahh~! Iruma-kun has gotten so strong!" Sullivan in his egg form cried as he continued watching.

Opera's tail would sway and sometimes their ears would even flinch at seeing Iruma almost get hit but dodging very easily, proud that he managed to catch the ball a few times.

Some celebration was had when Iruma finally got home, Iruma thanking Opera, much to Sullivan's despair, (Y/N) watching and laughing at him which made him sulk even more, overall a calm night ensued.

Chapter 4 End.

Binding Houses

/"...How long has it been, Myriks? Since we last saw each other? In person, not photos or video..."\, Rahn sat quietly a moment, watching the autumn clouds from his perch on the downed Platanus tree, fidgeting with the com in his hands, the message he was recording would be sent in short enough order if he'd stop watching the damned birds, /"I'll answer my own question...its been almost two years..."\

There was a slight whine to his inflections, the rasp of his words dimmed by longing for the company of his mate, /"It's getting colder, the trees are loosing their colours, their leaves are falling and my heart sinks with them the longer you take to convince Jorvek to meet with Hatiaksis... I keep pleading, and wishing...

Rahn startled, the distorted tones of Hatiaksis' Ghost warbled near his ear and drew a growl from the Devil.

"Nosy little shit....", the Eliksni growled, huffing as he sent the transmission, "Let's go...Hatiaksis will be waiting I'm sure.."

Sighing he took the ravaged Light into his hand as he climbed down the dead fall to the ground below, "She's finished it then?"

He nodded, stepping up to the Risen as she stood, watching her Vultures as they decended to pick through the wreckage of the armour scattered before her.

"Come Hati, Karlas and the others are waiting and you know Caim can't stand it when you don't eat...," taking her by her shoulders he steered her around, letting her pluck Revenant from his hands as they walked.

Rahn said nothing to the Kell about his transmission and trusted Revenant to continue to keep his secret, to keep it under his proverbial hat that he had a Mate that served as he did to someone he was told was just as mad if not madder than she was.

The Devil held his hope that Myriks would contact him, sooner rather than later... it had been some weeks since his last reply to Rahn and he was getting anxious...

HOW ABOOUUTT JyuJiro for the ship thingg!!~ 0w0

AYE SIR bless you 💜

What non sexual activities do they like to do together? Going to cafes and soending time together at Jyuto's place, be it watching things, cuddling, cooking together and Jiro loves it when Jyuto accepts to play video-game with him!

Who does chores around the house? Jyuto hires someone to do that for him bc he doesn't have time, but Jiro helps when he can.

Who’s the better cook? Definitely Jyuto. Jiro can burn water if given the chance.

Who’s the funniest drunk? Jyuto, ofc, bc Jiro doesn't drink yet.

Do they have kids? Maybe in a very distant future.

Do they have any traditions? They always spend the holidays together but that's just a normal couple thing.

What do they fight about? Jyuto promised he wouldn't touch Jiro sexually until he was of age, but Jiro, being a hormonal teenager who isn't a virgin at all gets really mad at that so sometimes he tries to convince Jyuto to have sex with him and they end up fighting. lmao But other than that they don't really fight much tbh.

What would they do if they found their paring tag on tumblr? Jyuto would be pissed bc people are lewding his boy and Jiro would be super embarrassed and pray that Saburo would never find it.

Who cried at the end of Marley and me? Jiro, of course.

Who always wins at Mario kart? Jiro! Mostly bc Jyuto doesn't care about games at all.

One thing I like about this ship? The dynamics! Delinquent teen vs authority, it's simply too fun to work with!

One thing I don’t like about the ship? The song I would say fits them? The fact that Jiro is 17. If he was just a year older people wouldn't bash this ship as much.

The song I would say fits them? Stop Me by Natalia Kills

Another headcanon about the paring? Jyuto definitely calls Jiro a brat frequently, but it's almost a pet name at this point.

[a-hell-of-a-time-archive]

((Just Caim things:

Caim wearing suits to most formal gathering and radiating butch energy, but also rocking outfits similar to this with blades, knives and other weapons strapped to her thighs underneath the fabric:

[blindedguilt]

🔁 |[HIT ME. ♥]|

"You're going to get us killed." - Interaction Rewrite Prompts!

For Leonard, the weight of a child's blood upon his weapon was heavier than anything else he had handled before in his lifetime.

He hadn't the honour to have even called it the first, but different from his brothers, who had found their end directly by the blades of the Empire, there was no hope for the blame of responsibility to be lifted off his shoulders now that he had wielded that same blade himself.

Leonard's breathing was panicked and uneven. A cold sweat ran down his back as the sensation of the light body being flung backwards shot once more through his arms - he felt ill. Had he died? Had he done away with his life in that forest and been sentenced to hell? Perhaps it was all a punishment, an eternity spent in war, ending the lives of children just as he had his brothers. The screams had sounded too familiar for comfort.

He couldn't, couldn't bring himself to fight. The stakes didn't come to him. The seal didn't exist to him. The usually tranquil forest had roared with the sounds of the clashing steel, the hurried footsteps, the cries and mockery of the faerie - something like the dragon's voice had called his name in harsh rebuke, and whether it truly was her or Caim, Leonard didn't understand and stumbled blindly back to the garrisons in a piteous attempt to flee.

Too cowardly to die, and too starved to survive.

All that was clear to him against the roar of noise was his own breathing, the feeling of his heart pounding in its chest, and the crushing weight of the guilt from that thought repeating itself in his head like a mantra. Leonard struggled to break out of it - do or say something that could stop this madness. Anything. A sickened cry sounded at the sound of the mercenary's own cold reproach, and the hermit struggled to respond.

"Caim, please...!"

He had tried to utter words, either protest or a plea, but his throat had grown tight and left only a quiet whimper. Was that all he could do? Beg...? Leonard's weapon trembled in his hands. He was truly weak... He could have done more than beg. Just like his brothers, there was a thought that told him that he could have saved them. But, it was all the same. His family murdered for the sake of shameful pleasure. The blood of children spilled only for his own protection - his own cowardice to even die correctly. All for himself, a pathetic existence unable to even lift a finger against the slaughter of children.

Some wretched noise, a ragged fight for strained breath against the pounding heart in his chest, could be heard against the armoured thumps of bodies against the ground. Even from a distance, Leonard's frozen body could be seen trembling uncontrollably. The polearm dangled limply from his hands.

"They are only mere children...!"

The last uttered words before the hermit collapsed to his knees were a heart-wrenching sob.

Not a voice of disgust, but a cry in horror.

Aaaa I'm so happy you wanna hear the ramble! Fellow Caionard minds united,,,, here goes:

Leonard -> Caim "To love you is to sacrifice myself, to become the cage locking you in, to be the leash you pull on. If I can direct all of you into myself, no one else has to get hurt." Plus the belief of being unworthy of receiving any positive emotions, and Caim's love, no matter how twisted it is, is more than he feels he deserves, yet it also serves as a punishment for him for all his crimes (some sorta "you are a cruel but just punishment" thing's going on here)

Caim -> Leonard "You are weak, and pathetic, and naive and loving like a child. Like a naive child, a child I used to be before everything turned for the worst. I hate the reminder of who I could've been, of what I was before I was forced to change. A mirror into a happier alternate me. Weak, foolish, and stupid. And kinder than I have ever been. Kind enough not to push me away, even if it is your way to punish yourself. You would take my hand made of swords? You would embrace my bloody and tainted heart? Though it hurts you, the blood you bleed warms us both. Only for a moment, maybe, but it is warm nonetheless."

OKAY first of all anon i am so sorry its taken me a couple days to reply, for the longest time i had no idea HOW to really even begin because???? when you said ramblings I was EXPECTING peak but like i clearly was NOT fucking prepared for it BECAUSE?????? HOW DID YOU COOK SO HARD??????? literally im going to be thinking about this for the rest of my LIFE i havent stopped thinking about it since you sent it i told my bud about it in private when i first got it i was SO flabbergasted like??? and like even now i still dont really know how to respond in a way that like,,,, really encapsulates just how fucking FERAL this made me to the point i feel a bit bad about responding at a time im exhausted and can't think right kashfgksdhbjfj but hopefully these screenshots of me rambling about it to my friend help encapsulate just how INSANE this made us like

so to break down:

anon, the caionard community (3-4 people including me and you) are obsessed with this and hope you have exactly what you need tomorrow

my buddy says they owe you their life and that they think you're the GOAT (this is true!!!!!!!!!!)

i really don't know what else to say that hasn't already been said other than that this HAS gotten me through work since the day you sent it in and it's getting me through work tomorrow and also definitely the day after that

you DID mention that you never got around to making art for this and im CERTIANLY not the strongest conceptual/metaphorical(??? i dont know how its called) artist, but like.... if you'd be okay with it and i admit i might never get to finishing it myself i would LOVE to do a doodle or so of or based around this concept like im insane im INSANE over this i love it so much........

anon by any chance if you write fanfic or so this alone would go hard as FUCK on AO3 i will be your biggest fan and make t-shirts and little caionard baseball caps with this whole rant on the brim written in your honour, i really wish i could say how much i love this and your writing.................... "the blood you bleed warms us both. only for a moment, maybe, but it is warm nonetheless" i hope you know im like a whole different person reading that i am NEVER going to get over that and have been cycling it around in my brain since the moment you sent that in............. im going to DIE

is there anything else i can say that i can reasonably put into words...... i think to cap off, the idea of leonard feeling undeserving of ANY love, even if it is as "punishment" coming from the hands of someone he is so inherently REPULSED by (I refrain from saying hates, i feel like that's part of it but oversimplifies it too much lmao) is such an interesting concept i haven't considered the psychology of and it INTRIGUES me ive also been spinning that concept around in my head since you mentioned it...... i havent drawn any strong "conclusions' or, again, any coherent lines of thought from that idea, but i am OBSESSED with it and will be sure to yap about it either via a reblog or its own separate post the SECOND i get anywhere further than "woagh.......... cool................................ :0" either way, thank you SO much for sharing this anon, your writing is fucking amazing and i havent been left this shell-shocked in a LONG while, this was so refreshing in a way i cant really describe but you are lifting the whole caionard community on your shoulders, and are ALWAYS welcome in my home <3 thank you so much again for choosing to share this with me, anon, it's an honour QwQ/"

brightly-estelle replied to your post: How about Nier?

I’ve played Nier and read pretty much all of his Taro LPs! Fully agreed. :) I haven’t played Automata yet but that’s great to hear! I’ll need to check it out. Nier 1’s gameplay isn’t terrible, and there are some cool gameplay elements and sections, but it can be a little dull in dungeons with platforming and lots of enemies.

The Choose your adventure-esque segment and Emil’s mansion are both really cool gameplay-wise :D

And yes you should definitely give Automata a try! Aside from being another seat on Yoko Taro’s wild ride, it’s really fun to play! (also great music!)

“!”

It had taken him a moment to respond to her, perhaps out of shock or perhaps.... Something akin to anger...  “..... Arioch.” Leonard had used the all-too-well-known, highly gentle tone people spoke in when they were trying to suppress their rage, a hint of sternness lay underneath.  “That has no hold on my intentions. She is a young lady just as you are, and it is for that reason that I find myself responsible of ensuring her safety. I would have do the same for you, had you been in her position. However, if you are to pose such needless threats towards innocent-!” ..... 

Leonard’s voice rose progressively as he spoke. “Those words you speak are disgusting. You will silence yourself now, Arioch, and speak no more of it. Should I hear anymore from you on this topic, I shall be brought to no choice than to enforce that silence! Do you understand me? NO MORE OF THIS MADNESS! ENOUGH!!” He didn’t want to hurt Arioch, but.... He.... He didn’t want to hurt her, did he? He was growing more and more unsure of this answer with each conversation they had.

"Arioch, you will stop harassing that young lady at once! Cease this!" Leonard yelled from afar. "Lay a hand on her and I shall come to deal with you. Speak such nonsense as putting Caim into the fire again and I shall do the same. Do not force my hand on this. You know I do not wish to begin any trouble with you."

"Why does it even bother you so? She isn't even your type." Arioch smiled like she was innocent and pressed her hands together as she nearly stared through Leonard. "She smells so sweet... I'm sure she is. So very sweet. Something about her reminds me of that pretty dragon that's bound to the shrimp. Ah! The shrimp! Yes! Why haven't you burned him yet? Is he your type after all?"

Could you tell us more about the m!Dimileth OC children you made :3c

Excuse me for the late reply! I haven't thought much of the children as of the moment but I think I can give a summary about them! I'm still finalizing them and there might be changes too. I'm planning to post more about them soon!🙏

Anyway I really did initially plan to name them after mdimileth's parents (Lambert,Jeralt, Sitri) but this is an AU, I want them to be their own characters so I gave them their own names (names might change cus this is still temporary and I also changed some of their infos too).

The children are really kind-hearted souls (courtesy of couple's raising) and each of them have distinct personalities but they mesh well together and have strong sibling bond. Raised in Faerghus, they currently reside in Garreg Mach with their parent, Byleth, for studies and such. They try to their best to be independent and not to bother their parents as they live a chapter of their life in the monastery.

A scary event happened before to their family where they were attacked by mysterious people, and although they were no casualities (their parents sustained life long injuries though), it left them shooked. They vowed to get stronger so no one will get hurt.

Julius(placeholder name) is currently a student of the officer academy. Proficient at lance and is skillfull in using a sword, he strives for the best (he even tries black magic...he still doesn't want to give up on it yet though...maybe soon he will. Atleast he tried haha). As the leader of the blue lions, he is a good leader and knows how to rally his classmates, doing his best to be a good example. All with that, he's still a very awkward boy who easily destroys things and gets embarrassed easily by Byleth's affections. He idolizes his father, Dimitri but doesn't want to be compared with him. Very protective of his family (much like his father)

Caim(nickname) the older of the twin, who may be shy and calm, can be very blunt. Always spaces out and daydreams of his fave food (even gets annoyed if disturbed) but is really perceptive. Not a student of the academy but he and his sis still studies their at garreg mach under the church's guidance. Poor boy inherited Byleth and Sitri's sickness and is often monitored along with his sis. He knows how to wield a rapier but to chose to use a staff for his sis's sake.

Amy(nickname) the younger of the twin, may be seen as sweet and graceful but can be mischievous at times. Emotional and naive, she easily empathizes with anyone. Not a student of the academy but she and her bro still studies their at garreg mach under the church's guidance. With growing powers, she is often monitored along with his bro. Afraid of fighting, she wields a staff.

Hope this will do for now! I'm still finalizing so there might be changes! Have some sketch of the twins in the meantime ��️

@puercoeurdraco, continued from here!

"Hmph!" Angelus snorted. "You are acting of your own accord, Legna. I have something far stronger than you--a pact partner. Together, our strength is greater than it would be apart. I shall be more than happy to show you the strength of our pact by myself!" Angelus roared at the other dragon, raising her wings and taking flight, hovering above the ground. "Well? Will you show me your strength too, or stand there like a coward?"
