#can't spell dwarf without w

[bumblewarden]

And here's a special something for my fellow dwarf likers in the crowd

[lilacknights]

So idk if you know this but there's this superstition where if you point at a tree and don't bite the finger you used to bite you'll get cursed (idk by who I forgor💀)

So how about any obey me character getting cursed cause of that

Obey Me Headcanons: Filipino Superstitions

ALTERNATE TITLE: Don't fuck with Asian superstitions, it ain't sexy.

CHARACTERS: Lucifer, Mammon, Leviathan, Asmodeus, and a very tired Filipino gn!MC

WARNINGS: obligatory implied dirty joke in Asmo's but nothing too explicit.

FOREWORD: Thank you, I've been laughing at this request for days. 😂 And I think the word you're looking for is "Namatanda" or "Nanuno". I leave in the province and let me tell you, getting cursed here is not sexy at all.

And I'm really sorry that I only did four of the brothers! I've ran out of knowledge on local curses and didn't want it to be repetitive. Maybe I'll write a part 2 if anyone is interested <3

✄ ——————————————————–

MC warned them. They warned the demon brothers who tagged along with them to watch their actions when they visit the province, especially at night. They told them that they shouldn't point to the dark, because they might offend local spirits and creatures. They told them to bite their finger right after if they accidentally pointed at a random direction. They told them to say "Tabi-Tabi po" when passing through vacant lots or areas with no residents.

But did they listen? NO.

—————————–

MAMMON was (obviously) the first one to go down. The demon had come running from inside the denser forest area after sunset, pointing at the direction where they came from. He screamed about something with huge wings flying above him in the dark, ironically scared of something with bat wings. MC smacked his hand down, telling him to bite his finger before he gets cursed by a dwarf or a spirit in the woods. Offended and petty over the way he was ignored, Mammon didn't bite his finger and called the superstition "stupid and harmless".

It ain't so harmless anymore when he woke up yeeting his dinner from last night right into the toilet, quickly followed by his lunch, and then the rice cake he definitely didn't steal from Beel.

They had him checked for stomach virus something something that he might've gotten from human food, but every medical spells and check ups came back negative. MC, giving in to their worry over the demon, told Mammon to grab water and start sprinkling the land he pointed at last night???

In normal circumstances, Mammon would have called it ridiculous but he was desperate. The mofo was back to his healthy self and was rivaling Beel in the dinner table immediately a few hours later. His brothers laughed at him and how pathetic he looked like, taken down by some local superstitions... but they weren't laughing for long.

That same night, Levi was very begrudgingly knocking on MC's door. He was trying to do an overnight marathon of a new anime series with good reviews online, but his vision kept spinning and he can't focus without almost vomiting. It was a miracle he even reached their room without breaking his face. (But he did break a vase or two on the way there.)

—————————–

LEVIATHAN was next, mainly because Mammon was claiming he should be scared and Levi milked the fear by doing the exact same pointing that Mammon did. Mammon tried to stop him but eventually went 'You know what? Learn it the hard way, too.'

LUCIFER has laughed when MC told him the story on why his younger brothers had been crying on how they want to leave the human world right now and have no plans of going back. When MC told him to be careful, too, he again laughed. That one annoying, deep, sexy laugh that makes him sound like a dilf but child-less.

He was quick on following whatever weird human ritual he was told to do, all because he had a sale in Akuzon he needed to catch this morning and he will not be late.

—————————–

"MC, I am one of the most powerful demons in Devildom, did you really think a mere and most likely fake superstition can harm me?"

It can and it did.

MC wasn't exactly sure what he did to be cursed, but Lucifer finally gave in and admitted that he had been burning with a fever, something that not even his demonic immune system can fight off. It's been hindering his work and so he eventually caved and asked MC for their opinion on what to do. UHHHHH, let's just say he didn't like it one bit.

ASMODEUS also asked MC for their help but it wasn't for him. He asked if it was possible to pass down the curse to someone else?? Because he apparently passed it to a woman he knew??? The woman allegedly "hurt her lower back so bad that she can't walk straight".

"I'm sorry... Did you just say you'll heal me with saliva?" "Yeah, I need to rub it on your stomach—" "Get the hell out of my room."

—————————–

MC immediately got suspicious so they brought the woman and Asmodeus to a local shaman, an Albularyo. The shaman did a little ritual, using a block of ice and putting it in a small basin filled with water. They did their prayer, held hands with the supposed "cursed" people there and waited for the ice to melt and form a different shape. The shape of the ice was supposed to tell them what exactly harmed the woman in question.

...MC walked right out the room when the ice turned into a PHALLIC shape.

The shaman looked at Asmo, and sighed. "Son, your friend wasn't cursed. She were fuc—"

FUN FACT: Asmodeus' scenario was based on a real life event that happened in our neighborhood. 👁️👄👁️ 🌷

C H A P T E R   E I G H T

When everyone was asleep, Y/N got up slowly and silently. She left the makeshift camp just long enough not to wake any of them. She moved away a little among the trees and hid behind a bush. She spread her white dress around her, camouflaging it from the snow on the floor, and sighed. She had intended to do so since she handed the other part of the glass over to Edmund, but she wouldn’t know how to react to the possible questions he would ask. To say that she was Jadis' sister, to say that she was the Snow Witch. It was one thing to open the game with others, quite another to Edmund. And she didn’t even know why.

Y/N took her own piece of glass from the white fabric, and watched it closely. The surface was cold, blue and irregular like ice, allowing you to use spells. Both pieces were taken from the ice mirror she had in her palace room. She approached the glass to her lips and whispered the spell to her reflection. Then came the well-known image of the ice castle dungeons. In one of the cells was Edmund, with tousled hair and a scratched face. He was huddled in the corner, with a chain around his ankle. Y/N felt her heart tightening, but did everything to shake this feeling. At least for now. She then whispered a communication spell and the image became dark. With the spell activated, she saw only the literal reflection of the mirror - at the time, it was Edmund sweatshirt pocket.

“Edmund! Edmund!” She called.

Edmund shifted. He clearly heard a voice close to him. Did he really hear Y/N's voice or was that dungeon driving him insane? Perhaps neither option nor another, perhaps only longing and regret were creating illusions in your mind. But then he heard your name a second time. He frowned, suspicious. Until he finally realized where the sound of that melodious voice came from. From your pocket.

“Finally!” cried Y/N seeing the boy's face appearing in the reflection.

“Y/N? What is that?” asked Edmund, clutching the piece of glass where he saw Y/N reflex in obscurity that of a forest. Was this all a dream?

“A reflex and communication spell.” and she said hastily. “The piece of glass I gave you comes from the same one I have. They were taken from my ice mirror in my room in the palace.”

“Spell? Reflection? Palace? Y/N, what's going on?” He asked, scared. What was that after all? Who was that mysterious girl really?

“I don't have time to explain now, Eddie.” she told him, trying to escape the questions. Y/N didn't want to tell him who she was. She knew she would have to do it at some point, she just tried to put it off as long as she could. “Just hold on tight that we're going after Aslam.”

“Can Aslam really help with all this?” Edmund asked wistfully.

Y/N nodded firmly. “Aslam is our hope. I may not be a person worthy of being faithful to him, but I will do everything for the Narnian people. And I will fetch you from the hands of that poisonous snake that insists on hunting me!”

Y/N had spoken so firmly and imperative that Edmund unconsciously compared her with a queen - even if he didn’t know more than your name. She was firm, confident and majestic. But then he finally heard her words. She had spoken with such hatred and bitterness that he could almost be certain that it was much more personal.

“Do you know her?” he asked, and was sure when she looked away.

“That is not the case.” Y/N said firmly, praying that she hadn’t made it very clear in her eyes. “You must try to eat and stay strong. And please try not to say too much to her. Give only informations that will keep you alive, but no more than the necessary. As soon as she decides that you are disposable, you will have no chance.”

“How do you know all this?” Edmund asked, raising an eyebrow. He knew there was so much more to that girl than she let out .

“Just trust me, Eddie, please.” Y/N said almost pleading and smiled when he nodded. “Now try to eat something to save your energy.”

Edmund wanted to know why she was so concerned about his health. She looked almost desperate, and he noticed that it was atypical behaviour. He looked around his frozen cell, and found a tray. He took the bread from the tray and took a bite. He crumbled over his mouth, but it was better than nothing. He was very hungry. He choked on the bread and started or coughed.

Y/N started or really despaired when she saw it just by reflection. She wishes she could be there to help you, but if she went, she would be caught, for sure.

“See if you water still in the isn’t frozen!” she said, trying to remain calm.

He took the mug from the tray and saw that the liquid there was frozen. There was nothing to quench the thirst.

“If...” he heard a noise beside him. It came from the cell next to his. He looked and came across a tired and injured faun. “If you won't eat more...”

Edmund then took the bread he had left aside and dragged himself to the hole that was between the cells.

“I would get up, but...” said the faun, also crawling through the cell to get closer. “My legs...”

The man came closer and took the bread.

“Mr... Tumnus?” asked Edmund.

“What's left of him.” replied the faun, savouring the bread as far as possible.

“TUMNUS!” exclaimed Y/N, to see a friendly face.

The faun looked around for the sudden voice, and Edmund held out the glass of ice. And he was astonished to see that the faun was not even surprised by all that... Bizarrity.

“Oh, Y/N!” exclaim or the faun, with a tired expression becoming a little more cheerful and. “Always with the impressive antics!”

“I needed a way to communicate with Edmund and find out what my... What Jadis intends!” Y/N corrected herself quickly when she realized that she had almost slipped her relationship with the Witch in front of Edmund. She just prayed that he hadn't noticed. “Ah, I still haven’t forgotten you locking me in with that chair!”

“It seems that not even the ice was able to release that.” said the faun. But Edmund just got more confused. “How you get out of there?”

Y/N smiled sarcastically . “It was your cellmate, he was kind enough to get me out of there with his siblings.”

“Siblings?” asked Tumnus, a little confused, returning the glass to Edmund. The faun analysed him well and saw some physical similarities with someone he knew. “Your sister is Lucy Pevensie.” he stated.

“My name is Edmund.”

“Yes... You have the same nose.”

“Edmund...” Y/N was about to say when a noise was heard on the other side. She practically knew what it was. “Put this glass out of sight!”

She then undid the communication spell, while the boy's glass was put back in his pocket. And the vision became external again, as if seeing through a window.

They heard a noise outside the cells, like someone coming down to the dungeons. They saw the Witch opening the doors of Edmund's cell and the faun turned on his back, while Edmund crawled again near the tray.

"So..." said the Witch. “My police broke up the dike, you know?! Your little family was not found.”

Edmund was happy with that, but he couldn't let it show. The Witch then took him by the collar of her blouse, lifting him up on his fee.

“Where did they go?” she asked.

“I... I don't know” Edmund said, with difficult breathing.

“So you don't have any use anymore.” growled the Witch, playing it back to the tea it.

She raised her staff.

“Wait!” Edmund said, remembering Y/N's words. “The beaver said something about Aslam!”

The Witch lowered her staff, gaping.

“Aslam?” She asked. “Where?”

“I...”

“He is not from here, Your Majesty.” the faun intruded quickly. “He can't know anything.”

He was kicked by the dwarf that accompanies the Sorceress.

"I asked..." said the Witch, turning to Edmund again. “Where's Aslam?”

The faun looked pleadingly at the boy and he finally realized that he could not give the information he had. It would be the end of Narnia, the end of Aslam and worse: the end of his family and Y/N.

“I don't know.” he replied at last, preferring to lie. “I left before they said.”

The Witch looked at the faun, who bowed his head in thanks.

“I really wanted to see you!” said Edmund in a hurry.

“Guard!” cried the Witch.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” said a hoarse, gravelly voice. Soon afterwards, Edmund could see a hideous orc entering the cell.

“Free the faun!” ordered the Witch.

The orc tore the chains that bound Mr. Tumnus's hooves with an ax, while he whined and was dragged to the Witch' feet.

She turned to him and said.

“Do you know why you're here, faun?”

“Because I believe in a free nation.” He replied with difficulty, as swollen cheeks were a problem.

“You’re here...” she said and pointed the staff at Edmund. “because he handed you over. For sweets.”

The man looked at Edmund in amazement, who bowed his head, ashamed. The Witch lowered the staff and ordered the orc.

“Take him upstairs.” while the faun was dragged out, she turned to the dwarf. “Prepare my reindeer. Edmund misses his family.”

She turned and left the cell, leaving him there locked and alone. Or so they thought. As soon as he found himself alone there, he quickly picked up the piece of glass, seeing the girl there with a sad expression and almost in tears.

“Y/N, what do I do?” he asked, almost desperate.

Y/N had been thinking about it since she saw him coming out of the beaver dam. She would have tried, without a doubt, if I had not known that this was the destiny, that the ancient prophecy could not change. But now, nothing could stop her from trying.

“Now? You wait.” she said in a determined voice, as he stood with the glass still in hands.

“Wait?” Edmund asked, confused. “Wait to die?”

Y/N broke into an almost sadistic smile. “Wait for me. I'm already coming.”

And then she undid the spells and went to the camp to get her sword.

The results are in!

Very funny that Tabris won both first and second place. Tumblr's specialest Warden.

Also, Orlesian Warden managed to pull 2 votes. Good for them.

Excluding Orlesian Warden, the human origins polled the lowest for second-favorite.

But the real cream of the data crop: Aeducan and Brosca. I didn't want to say anything in the beginning out of fear of swaying the data, but the hypothesis i set out to prove was that Aeducan and Brosca were more popular as second-favorites. I saw a lot of people in the tags mention them as their almost-picks, but that by itself wasn't enough to declare it gospel.

They still didn't win this round, but they put up a much better fight! For a decent length of the sampling period, Aeducan was in second place and Brosca not far behind.

The dwarves competing as well as they did this round may also be chalked up to this poll not getting as wide a reach as the first one (which wasn't particularly surprising). I've noticed the dwarves tend to do better in the early stages of my polls. BUT i will ignore that for the small victory :3

i already ran a poll on everybody's favorite origin a while back, but it got me curious:

i promise i'm not gonna do this for every rank, but so many people listed their close seconds, i have to wonder how different the results will look
