Characters: Remus, Virgil, Roman, orange guy

Warnings: sex mention, death mention, sensuality, swearing

Remus is jealous that Roman is so close to his crush and decides to try and win Virgil over by being as princely and charming. But Virgil is not having it. (Literally just an excuse to write these two dancing to these songs x. x.)

---

When Roman wanted to hold a ball, absolutely no one could stop him, let alone Remus. Frankly, Remus hated Roman's balls (tee hee) more than most things. They were just boring and he had to watch the prince charm everyone while he struggled to mingle in polite company.

This time it was worse. Prince Perfect Mess just had to go and invite all the others—even Janus and that pumpkin-looking douche! Wasn't it enough that Roman had all the other sides on his good side? Wasn't it enough that Virgil was practically his? Remus didn't even care if Virgil wasn't interested in a green trash mammal for a boytoy—Remus just wanted his bestie back, anything more was a dream that could be dulled like all the nightmares.

Remus leaned against a pillar with his arms crossed. He watched the uppity crowd twirling in a blasé waltz, honing in on Roman and his partner. Virgil was in his vampire costume, smiling and blushing as Roman whisked them across the floor. Remus knew he was jealous but he wouldn't fight the feeling. He wouldn't fight back the anger and resentment, just the urge to kill his brother.

"Damn, I can practically smell you from across the castle!"

Remus pouted and glanced over at the idiot wearing an orange suit.

"This is break time, you can stop doing your job, Pumpkin."

"You want your spider," he scowled, "Fucking do something about it."

"He wants some prince charming, not a possum on crack. What am I supposed to do?" Remus huffed.

"You're supposed to be Creativity, you think of something—just stop stinking up the place! I'm trying to relax." orange boy huffed and stormed off. Remus rolled his eyes, not in the mood for the grouch. But he had a point. Remus could think of something.

The metaphorical light bulb lit up as the pair that pissed him off neared him. The song playing, the Blue Danube, was coming to a close and Remus only had one shot!

He swept in when they were close enough and tapped Roman's shoulder gently. Roman glanced back and went rigid. He did not want Remus to attack, not now!

"Mind if I cut in?" he asked, surprising the prince. Virgil was just as surprised, but he was far more reserved about it.

"By all means," Roman said with a cheeky grin and let Remus take his place without a struggle. Virgil looked like he would stab someone, but he placed his hand on Remus' shoulder and fell into step.

"What are you planning?" Virgil hissed as the music stopped. Remus shrugged and smiled at him.

"You'll find out soon enough, Spiderlily," he teased just before a harsh violin cut through the air. Instead of cringing like the rest of the crowd he simply waltzed as if he were still hearing Strauss.

"Danse Macabre," Virgil noted as soon as the flutes joined in, "This isn't supposed to play til later."

"Which is why I had to put it in early, of course!" Remus jeered as the crowd around them shifted back into the dance. Virgil was good at keeping time with him, studying his face like a hawk.

"You didn't have to do anything."

"I wanted to! Why, it's essential to my plan! A dance of death for the dancers unwittingly careening towards the end!"

Virgil looked past him at the pairs ahead of them in the line of people. They flashed between living and skeletal with each pluck of the xylophone. The bright ballroom was darker, ancient and cracked like a graveyard, lit in eerie green and purple.

"Who are you planning on killing?" Virgil hissed and clawed his shoulder. Remus twirled him, letting their capes fly around them like a shield.

"Nobody! These figments don't stay past the end of the ball. I'm just going to end a stalemate, my dignity, and maybe a friendship."

"Your dignity?" Virgil scoffed, "Since when do you have dignity?"

"You got me! But you also have me waltzing at a royal ball, so you know I'm ending something here!"

Virgil bit his lip and watched him carefully as he swept him across the floor with such grace and elegance, standing straight and determined. It was familiar, in a way that made Virgil's stomach churn.

"Why?"

"Well as you can see, I have to prove that I can be just as charming as my twin," Remus responded as they swayed amid the skeletons.

"To who? Remus—" Virgil sighed as the music brightened.

"You. You're always with Roman. If you want a charming gentleman around, I can be that kind of guy easily. I can be the man you want."

Virgil cupped his cheek and shook his head, "You're a fucking moron!"

"Am I?"

"Roman set this ball up so I could sweep you off your feet at midnight. The waltzing was supposed to help me keep from losing focus and running away."

"Wait, what?"

"I don't want Prince Charming, I want a passionate, trashy himbo with a wild side," Virgil said and averted his gaze, "but I can get by without if I have to."

Remus brought Virgil's hand to his lips and licked his knuckles before kissing them.

"I think our friendship is over, if you can handle an obsessive boyfriend instead."

"Can you?" Virgil asked with a wry smirk.

"Maybe!" he teased and wiggled his eyebrows. Virgil grabbed his waist and pulled Remus across the floor.

"Mind if I change the song? I don't really like waltzing."

"You better not play anything screamo or thrasher, I don't want to bust my brother's ball!"

"Try to keep up," Virgil jeered and snapped his fingers. The first bars were all Remus needed to grin and lift his leg, bending his knee to slide it down Virgil's butt. They turned as Remus' foot touched the ground and Virgil dipped him.

"Warlock? I'm impressed!" Remus jeered and righted himself, wrapping himself around Virgil and circling him.

"You shouldn't be, yet," Virgil jeered and grabbed his hand. He kept his eyes locked with Remus' as he led the dance, pleased that Remus could mirror his wide steps and sharp turns.

"Shouldn't I?" Remus jeered and twisted his hips with each step, making his cape flutter around him.

"Yet," Virgil corrected him and spun him and picked up the pace. Remus was beaming as they swiftly snapped and swerved across the floor. A quick twist and a flick of the wrist had Remus' back against Virgil's chest as they slowed down in sync.

"This is a little saucy for you, Virgilicous, isn't it?" Remus cooed and fluttered his lashes, "An emo doing the tango with a dukey!"

Virgil laughed against his neck and kicked one leg around Remus' before spinning in front of him and grabbing his shoulders.

"This is how some spiders flirt, am I trying too hard?" he teased and slid one leg up Remus' side and held it up and twisted away from Remus. He bought that leg around and behind him, leaving room between them.

"Yes, but you're making me hard so it evens out!" Remus said with a shimmy. Virgil rolled his eyes and tossed his cape aside.

He spun quickly and leaned back against Remus' chest, reaching back to bring Remus' face to the crook of his neck. He slid down, widening his stance and teasing the duke and getting him to spread his legs more.

Virgil turned quickly and straddled his leg, pulling Remus' head to face him.

"You just had to seduce me after I asked you out," Remus teased. Virgil smirked and shook his head.

"You know I'm careful. I have to know what I can get away with first," he said and leaned in until their lips brushed, "And I can get away with this."

Virgil pulled away and swept Remus across the floor, ripping a growl from his throat. Remus was determined to take the lead and get even, but Virgil was quick, able to keep control no matter how bold the step. He wouldn't let Remus get too close for long enough for him to tease, and it was infuriating.

By the time the song ended Remus was itching for more, so he did what he did best and struck out of nowhere. He dipped Virgil and grabbed his leg before kissing him. Virgil just dragged his face closer and kissed back, not breaking away until he was on both feet again.

"There's the feral bastard I love. Don't ever try to be like Roman to impress me again," Virgil muttered against his lips. Remus purred and hugged him like a koala. He didn't care that the ball was back to normal and he didn't care about the wolf-whistles coming from off the dancefloor. Virgil flipped them off and sank out with his boyfriend to do something that wasn't related to Roman.

Rules: Pick 5 shows, then answer the following questions. Don’t cheat. Tag some people. I was tagged by @mellomadness

1. Transformers Prime

2. Steven Universe

3. The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance

4. Power Rangers: Wild Force

5. Castlevania 

Who is your favorite character in 2? Pearl for sure! She’s the character I connect with the most. Not to mention that she went through so much character development and changed for the better. (She also deserved a better lover just sayin’.)

Who is your least favorite character in 1? I would say Silus but I hate Arachnid more because of all the heartache she caused to Arcee.

What is your favorite episode of 4? Definitely the one were Jindrax teams up with his brother to take down the Power Rangers. It was so touching to see how much he loved his little brother. Not to mention when Toxica came to console him after his brother’s death and reassure Jindrax that he was still valuable to her was equally as touching. 

What is your favorite season of 5? I’d say 2. A lot of cool characters and their backstories were introduced. Not to mention the last episode was like--amazing! 

Who is your favorite couple in 3? OOOOOOH BOY so it would be Rian and Deet if we’re talking canon wise. Non-canon would be SkekGra and UrGoh. (THEY HIT THREE OF MY FAVORITE SHIPPING DYNAMICS)

Who is your favorite couple in 2? Steven and Connie for sure. Garnet is a close second.

What is your favorite episode of 1? When Ratchet basically takes the Transformers equivalent of steroids and becomes a cocky douche.

What is your favorite episode of 5? The last episode of Season 2. The emotion and bittersweetness of it is breathtaking. 

What is your favorite season of 2? It’s a little hard because all of the seasons blurr together for me. I’d say either season 2 or 3 because that’s when the overarching plot starts

How long have you watched 1? ...Years...even though it ended in 2013...I’M SLOW OK?!

How did you become interested in 3? The Dark Crystal is my favorite Jim Henson movie so you bet your sweet molasses I’d watch the show! 

Who is your favorite actor in 4? Whoever plays Jindrax and Toxica.

Which do you prefer, 1, 2, or 5? Dang it this is hard! If I did have to pick it would be TFP. I really love the plot and characters. The animation may not be the best but for a 3D animated tv show it did rather well! 

Which show have you seen more episodes of - 1 or 3? TFP since that show has more seasons than AoR.

If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be? Zen-Aku. He is a b.a. black wolf lad that can play a sick flute weapon.

Would a crossover between 3 and 4 work? No, definitely not. They’re worlds are way too different. Not to mention that AoR does a much better job of promoting the ‘save the environment’ theme than Power Rangers: Wild Force.

Pair two characters in 1 who would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple? Jack Darby and Miko. I feel like they would be able to balance each other out and help each other. Not to mention they have shown throughout the show that they can work really well with one another.

Overall, which show has the better storyline, 3 or 5? Again, this is super hard! Both have amazing storylines! If I did have to pick though it would be Castlevania. The only reason I pick this over AoR is due to the fact the pacing was better.

Which has better theme music, 2 or 4?  Steven Universe for sure. I can sing it by heart. XD

Thanks Mello! This was fun! 

I tag @tessalovesozzy, @darkskek, @sovietgrocerybag, @ben-the-hyena, @dracocheesecake, and @candythemew! 

This is optional so don’t feel like you have to respond!

Demon AU: 666 So Fresh- Chapter 2

Type: Angst, fluff, romance

Taehyung (V), Yoongi (Suga), OC Zula

Warnings: Cursing, mentions of suicide

<- Previous | Next ->

It had taken all night and for the three strangers to get far enough for Yoongi’s comfort. She woke up near 10 am when her phone alarm went off. Her hand slapped it off without the rest of her knowing.

Zula bolted up, “Fuck, my paper’s due in two hours!” She then looked around and remembered everything.

Being demon spawn and a killer, she would probably never show up at school again. All that tuition down the drain. Her parents would kill her, but only one of them would be strong enough to actually do it. The one that was an actual demon.

“Sleep well?” Yoongi smirked.

“Y-yeah, I guess.” She shifted in her seat and looked behind her to see the other man fast asleep in the back seat. “So it was real.” She whispered to herself.

The driver snickered, “Taking you a while to realize that, huh, Demi?”

She glared at him, “Not every day you discover you’re half demon. Kind of hard to believe.” Her attention shifted to the window. “How much longer until we stop? I gotta piss.”

“Soon.” He said. “Almost outta gas.” pointing at the dash.

Zula made a sound in reply and then a loud noise came from the back. A sore Taehyung woke up with a roar and a stretch, hitting his head on the door.

“Ouch!”

The two in the front seat giggled.

“Good morning, sleepy head.” Her flute-like voice greeted him.

He smiled at her, “Morning. Aish, I gotta take a piss.”

“That’s what she just said.”

Taehyung met Zula’s eyes even as she tried to hide them away. He couldn’t help but thinking she was hella cute. He was kind of run over by a car last night, so he didn’t think much about actually looking at the people he was with.

“We’re getting close to an exit.” Yoongi said. “Don’t you dare pee in this car, or I’ll end you.”

They pulled up to a pretty small gas station in a pretty deserted town. They went inside to handle their business. Bathroom, gas, and snacks. Luckily, Zula’s rapist had left his wallet in this specific jacket that she had stolen. Wow, a thief and a killer. She really was a demon.

She wasn’t brave enough to use the credit card that was in there. Dude carried enough cash for a decent meal, so she stacked up on chips and gummies and sodas while the others got whatever they wanted. Zula opened the wallet to put the left over cash in and noticed his card was missing.

“Yeah, my boyfriend said it was ok to use it.” Yoongi said, flashing the credit card in the cashier’s face. He smirked knowing she wouldn’t dare cause a scene in a place like this.

“Whatever.” The gothic being said and ran it.

Safe.

Zula just went back into the car and left the door open as she opened the first bottle of root beer. The other man was already in the back eating as well. She wondered where he came from and why such a beautiful face decided to launch himself in front of a moving vehicle.

Yoongi handed Zula the card back. “Thanks.”

“No problem, douche.” She replied with a smile and snatching it back.

He chuckled and leaned on the car, opening a beer bottle. Being raised as a human, Zula knew that drinking and driving was bad. However, she didn’t know how many of those rules applied to Hell Spawn. Probably not.

She still didn’t even know their names. Taehyung was thinking the same thing and was itching to ask her. He didn’t want to get to know her, though, if he was never going to see her again. Yoongi threw his bottle in the trash.

“A demon who cares about the environment.” She snarked.

“We don’t need our second kingdom to be filthy, now do we?” He retorted. “I’m gonna check out the trunk. See what I’ve got.”

Singular. Tae thought. He wasn’t gonna let them tag along. He’d be thrown back into reality with nothing to do and no way to end his horrible life.

“Holy shit!” The brown-haired full demon exclaimed.

If something was enough to surprise him, then it was worth seeing. That’s what the two others decided as they rushed to go see what was up. In the trunk, there was a tan duffel bag overflowing with stacks of money. Based on the face...it was...

Zula gasped, “Holy...”

“Fuck” Taehyung finished.

Yoongi closed the trunk. They were all hundreds. They were rich! As an embodiment of greed, this was all that he had ever wanted. But these two kids knew about it, too.

The girls started hopping around and spinning. “We’re rich! We’re actually rich! I can pay off my tuition!” She was almost in tears. It must have been part of her wildest dreams to have so much money. Didn’t seem like she cared where it came from, either.

“You can’t kick us to the curb now. We know your face and your car, and your secret.”

Brown eyes flickered to the guy inside the gas station who was busy playing on their phone and didn’t seem to pay them any mind. Maybe they should die just in case. The girl stopped spinning and looked at him.

“We’ll report your to the police if you don’t take us with you. Do you know how easily it’ll be to convince them that you’re the one who tricked a poor innocent girl into killing some fratboy asshole?” Zula batted her eyes and pouted.

The kid tilted his head, “She’s got a point.”

He sighed, “Fine, fine, you can come with me!”

The girl rushed him with a hug and bounced, not knowing her own affect on him. Her squeals held more joy than any angel could ever muster.

“I’m so happy, I could kiss you!”

Yoongi smirked and raised his brows. She was legal, even for something his age. Then she backed up, releasing the strange demon man and looking around herself.

“But I won’t.” Zula said as she blushed.

The boy with the mullet had sat on the curb, “So, names?”

“Yoongi.” Their savior of sorts introduced himself. “Hell Spawn of Greed.”

“Zula.” She followed his lead. “Demi Spawn of Lust, I guess.”

“Taehyung. Call me Tae.” He stopped there.

They nodded and remembered the names of their new companions and decided to drive off before Human Hot Topic remembered they existed. First place they needed to go was to get new clothes. They asked Yoongi what exactly what powers they had. He had no idea. It differed from Spawn to Spawn.

All they knew for sure was Zula apparently could already access her true form which included claws and stuff. She described more of the attempted rape to get a better understanding. Also, Taehyung couldn’t die. Yoongi had a lot of things that he said they’d find out through being around him so much.

Rolling up to the mall, Zula had one more thing to ask.

“Last night you said that I was Hiding. What’s that?”

“You basically don’t exist. It’s a natural response when you don’t want to be seen, you just aren’t. That street last night was bustling with drunk couples and none of them saw you. It’s just to make sure no one, no human that is, knows what you are.”

Tae asked, “So we can’t control it?”

“Not one bit. At least, you two can’t. Not yet. You’ll learn though.”

As Zula started to get out of the car, Yoongi stopped her.

“Where the Hell do you think you’re going?”

“To the mall? I need to get new clothes, Yoongi. Tae, tell him.” She looked towards her attractive companion for back up.

Yoongi shot him a glare, “She’s covered in blood.”

She sighed, “Fine.” In the middle of the parking lot, she took off her bloodstained top and skirt, revealing shorts underneath. “Blood’s only on the inside of the jacket now, and I’m still clothed enough to be seen in public.”

“Barely.” Tae said, biting his lips and looking her up and down.

Yoongi did the same and laughed, “Yep, your parent came from Lust. No doubt in my mind. Let’s go then.”

The three walked into the place like they owned it in order as to not be seen as suspicious since they were carrying nearly $1,000 each. Yoongi got several new blazers and tons of jeans and hats. Tae got scarves, over-sized dress shirts, and a really expensive camera. Zula bought some blazers and several pairs of shoes. A few formals dresses just in case.

She turned around, wavy black hair fanning slightly as she met his dark brown eyes that seemed to glitter.

“Zula, Come with me to put the clothes in the car. He doesn’t trust me with the keys by myself.”

Her eyes turned to Yoongi who gave a shrug. He wasn’t a flight risk, per say, just a bit. Yeah.

“Yeah, I’ll come with you, Tae.”

The other one bought some more things. Apparently, the money was good since no cops or guards had shown up yet. The handsome cashier tried to make conversation about what they were up to. He said he was helping his little brother impress a girl, so they brought her along for a shopping trip.

Said he was using money from his new promotion at some company in the US that she’d probably never heard of. She bought it. And it wasn’t completely a lie. Yoongi had been part of a US company before he scammed them all out of their money and moved back to South Korea.

That was his last big take that lasted him a good while. Yoongi decided to go put his stuff in the car as well. He he had given them enough time.

Tae told her. Everything. How many times he’s tried based on the lipstick stains on the wall. When he started. How he wasn’t sure if he wanted to stop. He lit a cigarette.

“I’m just not sure there’s anything I wanna live for, and just existing sucks. So the only other option is death, right?” He turned to see tears running down her face and was confused at the pain it caused in his chest. Not a pain he had felt before.

Zula wiped her eyes, “I’m sorry. I just. That’s so sad.” She held his hands. “Please find something to live for, Tae. Even if it’s superficial like money or whatever, maybe adventure. This adventure. Find it.”

He was confused. No one had been so passionate towards him in a while, at least not in a kind way. Usually, they were just yells and screams about how he could’ve done better. Blaming him for what he was born as. His parents fought a lot, and he now understood why.

“Would you miss me? If one day I succeeded, would you miss me?”

She bit her lip, looked away and then stared into his eyes, “Yes. I would. I don’t know you that well, but we’re stuck like this for a reason. So yeah, I’d miss you.”

A loud voice surprised and embarrassed them for some reason, “Just fuck already!”

The two parted and didn’t look at each other. They weren’t that close and that wasn’t what they wanted...right? At least, not, not yet.

“So, are we going back inside? I think there might be a few more things--”

“Nah, let’s go somewhere else.” Yoongi cut him off. “I think we need party clothing and bathing suits, and I know a demon who has it for free.”

So they all climbed back in the car.

The only way that car’s worth 500 bucks is if there’s a $300 hooker sitting in it.

He has reached a level of douche baggery that will live on for generations.

Ed Sheeran “Divide”

This is the third studio release from the English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. Who really took some risks on this record. There’s a mix of traditional singer-songwriter ideas, irish-folk music, balladry, Carribean, and Paul Simon Graceland thing happening. And honestly, it makes the album sort of sporadic. On first listen you don’t really know what you are facing. The album opens with his branded singer-songwriter rap song “Eraser.” Which talks about his fame, roots, his faults and trials, and the against all odds ‘I can do it’ sort of feel. It’s pretty alright, he has iterated these ideas before in his career (aka his past 2 records) but I guess that’s something that is prevalent in rap music. Castle on the Hill another roots story song that tells of his childhood. This song had to grow on me, but it’s not a grabbing song. It sort of repeats the same idea with no new lexicon. “Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh how we’ve grown” is not really a good excuse for a filler lyric. It’s very new Coldplay feeling. “Dive” is a R&B esque song, almost John Mayer like (not to mention he had contribution on How Would You Feel). It’s a song about commitment, it’s alright nothing really crazy. “Shape of You” is the Caribbean influenced track that was supposedly originally written for Rihanna and it is evident. This is one of the two occasions on the album where Van the Man is put on the jukebox. Very standard pop, it’s new land for Ed musically, and it’s a club song and that’s really it. “Perfect” is a beautiful song. Very lavish strings, and it can be a radio friendly song. And it’s the classic love feel, and Ed can’t go wrong with it. “Galway Girl” will be one of the big singles from this record. It is the second occasion where Van the Man is put on the jukebox (I don’t really want three). But, this song is unbelievably catchy with an interesting Irish Folk collaboration with Beoga. “Happier” and “New Man” are sadly, forgettable tracks. Sheeran has some cringey lyrics about instagram creepin on “New Man”  basically explaining his old girl’s new man is a douche. “Hearts Don’t Break Around Here” is another love ballad. That’s about it. “What Do I Know?” is a track about peace, positivity, and apparently romanticism. It’s almost corny, but I don’t mind it. Dreamers can dream, but the song is also almost a filler track as well. “How Would You Feel” is the best of the ballads on this string of them. It’s simple, the arrangement is beautiful, and radio will enjoy it hopefully. The John Mayer solo is clean, precise and if one has listened to Mayer enough, they will know it’s him. “Supermarket Flowers” is a terribly sad song, and it is ethereal. It tells of the death of his grandmother. It makes me feel bad listening to it because it doesn’t feel like I should, it is so personal and dedicated. “Barcelona” is a boppy song about a love affair in, of course, the Mediterranean. Catchy. It is very Ed Sheeran with a really cool twist, with some sort of flute following the melody. Reminds me of summer. As a Spanish speaker he did alright sorta, but I feel like that if a Spanish person listened to this song they’d think to themselves “Oh god” in a not super good way. The saxophone solo is an interesting touch as well as the following horns. “Bibia Be Ye Ye” is a song written with Ghanaian twi dialect. I listened to this song and it’s ripping straight from Paul Simon’s Graceland. It’s fun, jumpy. But Paul Simon did it first my friend (that’s a joke I’m just kidding). It’s just the genre hop is fucking insane on this album, more so than Twenty One Pilots’ Blurryface. “Nancy Mulligan” feels like a pirate tune. More feature from Beoga, and I believe it is about his family again. I like the folk feel, but if I recall, this is a pop album? I’m sure there was objections from the label, about certain songs. I like the feel, but the genre hop again is super weird. “Save Myself” is Ed’s feeling of being a doormat. He’s saying he needs to save himself (duh) before he saves someone else. Also sad. It has a pretty string arrangement, and it flows well. Ed Sheeran is pushing his sound which is super essential with being a musician. But wow, this is really all over. He has had a huge impact on me as an artist, and it’s good to see movement, but he can’t find a sound. Super experimental. It’s hard to really put a thread through this needle. 

Favorites: How Would You Feel, Galway Girl, Barcelona 

Songs that are meh: New Man, Happier, What Do I Know? 

6.5-7/10

I will continue to listen to the album (I’m inclined to Ed’s music), it’s not the worst thing I have ever heard. It’ll be all over radio, and cheers to Ed on trying to find new sounds. It’s hard, musician to musician.
