I HAD AN ALASTOR(or Lucifer bc i like when my birds flock together) AND/X READER IDEA

(Not specifics on smut, fluff or angst. Just a reader idea. Could go any way.)

So in mythology, there are strixs. They are like owls, but feed on human flesh and blood. Anthropophagics.

So, like Alastor, reader is a dead cannibal. While he ate adults, reader ate babies.

"In this Greek myth, the ill-omened strīx herself did not perpetrate harm on humans. But one paper suggests guilt by association with her sons, and seeks to reconstruct an ancient Greek belief in the man-eating strīx dating back to this age (4th century BC)."

So, reader ate dead babies, but didnt kill them. Their family killed, but reader only dined.

OR

"Like the lamiae, and succubi, they preyed upon unprotected sleeping men and children. With men, they turned into women, had sexual intercourse, then drank the men’s blood. To children, they offered their poisonous milk. "

Reader was ate then ate. Or poisoned kids.

So if it were a Lucifer fic, it'd be very RadioApple esque. Except reader is very into it.

But Alastor? Bonding over yummy tummy nummies. Killing together and feasting, reader hanging upside down from his antlers screeching.

"that cries by night, without food or drink, with head below and The blue portion? of feet above, a harbinger of war and civil strife to men"

The harbinger portion??

A little precognition. When reader gets hungry, boom! A precognition of violence!

"In Romanian, strigăt means 'scream',"

When reader is doing the precognition, it screams!

They could have a damaging scream! As a weapon!

"There are several examples of the strix's plumage, etc., said to be used as an ingredient in magic. Horace in his Epodes, wrote that the strix's feathers are an ingredient in a love potion, as has his contemporary Propertius. Medea's rejuvenating concoction which she boiled in a cauldron used a long list of ingredients, including the strix's wings."

Reader has useful feathers. We already have magic and hornifying Valentino mouth juice. Why not potions?

What makes potions? Witches!

"Strega (obviously derived from Latin striga) is the Italian term for witch."

Ozzie mentions to Stolas in Oops! that he doesnt do love potions, which implies that they exist.

Witches can enchant! Make potions!

Everyone gives advice on how to write... but no one knows how to get back to writing after a block.

I've got a Professor Jay x college student smut in my drafts....

[thatweirdkin]

Okay but like... Virgin Satan!?

Talk of sex (duh) implied dom reader idk so under -15 DNI

Also bad writing sorry 🥺

Satan reads anything and everything, from hardcore gore to soft domestic fluff he read it all. It's no surprise he has some erotic novels too.

Before he just used to skip the sex scenes if they weren't important but now.. Since you came along

When he reads them he just can't help imagine you with him... Not as the 'damsel' but as the 'strong dom'. thinking about you taking him so roughly with your cock/strap makes he feel the need to masturbate for the first time... He can't help it! Whispering your name with pleas of more until he shoots his load on his chest... He feels 'weird' only to check to see he still hasn't read the entire book.

Maybe he'll get his first wet dream at night with scenes from the book...

fic writing is getting me frustrated

[neko-naruto]

I am going to spontaneously combust

[snakerdoodlle]

I’m in the absolute worst creative slump rn I think I’ll go bash my head into a brick wall instead

[lyssak09]

Do I have four writing requests I need to work on?

Yes

Am I going to work on other things and yandere ocs instead because because my brain doesn't work and adhd?

Yes

[vaalastaroth]

Me: has a good idea.

Also me: don't know English, can't do anything bout it.

[dawnstudies]

I have tried out LoreForge and omfg it's one of the best writing tools I have ever come across with - before anything, this is not a sponsor please for the love of god this is not a sponsor

But anyway, it has all sorts of cool features and I swear it's making my life way easier, especially after I realized that I might have to rewrite a big portion of my novel because of a terrificly huge (black-hole sized) plot-hole :)

Wish me luck and time because I don't have either right now

When you don't know how to write it's not that you have a block in your head, but in your heart.

thinking about how the hunger games were designed to prove that without society, order, government, someone to rule, we devolve into little more than animals, and how the games themselves prove over and over again that this is not true. We see it in every single game we witness.

Katniss placing flowers around Rue's body in the arena. Thresh sparing Katniss because she was kind to Rue, even though he was making it that much harder for himself to win.

Haymitch going back for Maysilee after hearing her scream even though their alliance had been broken. Haymitch holding her as she dies the same way Katniss did Rue.

Coral's "I can't have killed them all for nothing" when she realizes she's not going home. Lamina cutting down Marcus at great personal risk. And, my favorite moment in tbosas, Reaper collecting the bodies of his fellow tributes, his peers, even the ones who tried to kill him, into a pile. Taking the weapons from their hands. Closing their eyes and crossing their arms in the best approximation of a proper burial he can manage, covering them with the Capitol flag as a makeshift shroud.

The Games bring out the worst in people, yes. But despite the extreme circumstances, despite the exterior pressure of the Capitol, despite the fact that it could mean pain and heartbreak and death, it also shows that people have an enormous capacity for goodness. That even in a situation purposefully designed to make empathy impossible, people can't help but have it anyway.

Snow looks at the Games and all he can see is what's inside himself-- this pure animalistic drive to conquer and defeat. He kills and it feels good and he thinks that everyone else must feel that way too. He doesn't realize (maybe can't realize) that he is the exception, not the rule. He cannot see outside himself, outside his own warped perspective, to realize that the fact that people do show humanity in the games proves his entire worldview wrong.

We joke but the fact NO ONE bats an eye when Penelope and Colin are unchaperoned in broad daylight, or the way they keep to themselves in the corner of balls and other events, speaks a lot of how little the ton considers Penelope as a desirable debutante. Fife and co mock Colin for his friendship with her. Portia catches them alone in a room and somehow doesn't jump on the YOU MUST MARRY train. Even Anthony, albeit s1 Anthony so he's a bit dumb, comments that Colin has danced multiple times with Penelope yet it does not signify.

Side note but I would kill to see his reaction when he hears Colin interrupted Penelope's and Debling's dance lol.

Everyone sees Colin running after Penelope multiple times this season, and everyone assumes it's out of pity, rather than care. Like she's not even the one chasing him, he's the one doing it in all four episodes!

Never in their wildest fantasies could they imagine Colin Bridgerton being interested in Penelope Featherington indeed. And oh boy, are they in for a rude awakening! Because that boy is already loud with his actions when he wasn't even aware of his feelings, but he's gonna be even louder with his words to make sure everyone understands how much Penelope Featherington is beloved by him.

This... this is a whole different kind of psychic damage here. When nightmares got Marcille, we get to knew that her's biggest fear is outliving her friends. This isn't even canon probably, but look at this. This isn't a "I don't want my friends to die" kind of dream. This is a "I'm terrified of loosing my daughters, of something killing them, and being incapable of stopping it" kind of dream. It's so simple yet it explains perfectly the whole of chilchucks character. He loves, he cares, deeply. But he, or doesn't acknowledges, or doesn't know what to do with that knowledge.

Besides that. Someone had to wake him up after this. Imagine the devastation in this man after he wakes up. He just saw his three little babys murdered corpses (or maybe he saw them die, wich isn't better). He would possibly not talk about it, and that would worry the hell out of the party, because we'll, they see him all down and only one of them knows what he saw. Imagine being the one to pull him from that nightmare. Seeing this man, usually so composed, fuking staring with tears and terror in his eyes to the composes of what you can only assume are his daughters. It would be heartwrenching.

Idk, I love this man so much...
