guess who's still thinking about Lucifer >.<

anyways thought it'd be fun, given my previous post about his dissociation with conversations, to try and guess what his takeaways were from his phone call with Charlie based on his reactions

Maybe I'm wrong about what he's catching and what he's missing but either way I had fun

strike through= what he missed bold=what he caught neither bold nor strikethrough= he might've heard it/made it out through the white noise, but not enough to connect the dots RED= only heaven is in red cuz you cannot convince me otherwise that that's not a trigger word for him

Idk thought it’d be fun to try and guess what Lucifer is ACTUALLY hearing with his dissociation filter on let's GO

Lucifer: [insert absolute fail of hello]

Charlie: Hi Dad! Lucifer: Hey! How are ya? Oh! Wh-wh-where are you these days? Charlie: You know where I am, Dad… I’ve told you before…

Lucifer: You hAve? Oh. yeah Uh, erm well I um uh

Charlie: I told you when you called me five months ago! Or did you not listen?

Lucifer: No no no just forgot! I just forgot. I’ve been really busy with you know… um. iMpOrTanT tHiNgS

Charlie: Well I’m actually running a hotel to rehabilitate sinners, maybe you saw our commercial?

Lucifer: No? Sadly I… missed it!  Lucifer: You know I haven’t been watching much TV lately! Scrambles the brain!  Lucifer: but hey! A hotel! Fun!

Charlie: Listen, Dad, I’ve got kinda… a big ask?

Lucifer: -spit take- Yeah?! Of course! Anything in my power is yours for the asking you just name it

Charlie: I need to speak to heaven! Well, whoever’s in charge up there above Adam above anybody, I need to go to the top!

Lucifer: NO Lucifer: no no no no Lucifer: That’s uhahah no…

Charlie: Look! Dad! I don’t ask you for much. I never have, but this-this is really important to me. It’s the most important thing I’ve ever done and I… need… you… I need your help

Lucifer: I-... I don’t know Charlie

Charlie: Please just- Come see what I’m trying to do. You’ll see why it’s a really good idea and heaven is bound to agree if I get the chance to talk to them

Charlie: Please dad

Lucifer: wait… you’re… INVITING ME OVER??? Lucifer: ABSOLUTELY Lucifer: I’LL BE THERE IN AN HOUR

so yeah, he can semi follow along but like crucial bits and pieces ARE being left out

it's so interesting to me how popular the dialogue prompts are

there are 101 total prompts, 13 of which are dialogue prompts. and yet, so far, they make up half of the current top 20 votes.

Dulce got away with the exposé video but at a cost nonetheless.

Transcript:

Noemí: Cariño, I think we should forget about grounding Dulce.

Erick: Yeah.. I agree, but what made you decide that?

Noemí: She‘s already heartbroken. I don‘t think she needs to feel worse.. what would punishing her do exactly, anyway? She only had good intentions...

Erick: ..and the bakery has been doing even better thanks to her.

Noemí: Right.. Although, we should still let her know to not make such rash decisions. She‘s too young to be doing all that.

Erick: Exactly. She can’t start getting herself into scandals until she’s at least in her twenties! [Jokes]

Noemí: Erick! [Laughs] Don‘t say things like that.

Erick: [Laughs] I mean, it’s Dulce. Can you blame me?

Noemí: I blame you and how rebellious you were as a kid!

Erick: Yeah, she takes after her awesomely wicked dad.

Noemí: [Giggles] She’d probably groan if she heard you say that.

Erick: It’s true, though.

Day 21: Blood loss / Shock / Near-death experience Characters: Milla Vodello Warnings: Canonical child death, fire. Summary: Milla learns she can hear things others can't in the worst way possible.

Goodness it was getting late.

Milla wiped her brow and lifted up the bags again. She hadn't meant to take so long, but she wanted to find a few extra treats alongside the ingredients the cook needed. This was for the children, after all!

The orphanage couldn't really afford to have individual birthday parties for all of them, so they'd picked a date to celebrate all together. The children had been so excited this year that some of them wanted to try making the cake themselves, but she'd talked them out of it, of course.

It had been a long day, and it would be a long day still tomorrow, setting up for the party, but the joy it would bring the children would be worth it.

Smiling, she continued to make her way toward the orphanage, only to pause. "Hey, what's that smoke over the village...?" She could see it in the distance, and the smell of burning wood reached her nose, which was odd, but perhaps it was someone having a cookout, or merely enjoying a campfire, so she paid it no mind past that. Instead she wondered what sort of songs she should play tonight—if she should leave it up to the children again, or introduce them to something newer for them to enjoy.

Finally she crested the hill that the village sat below.

She did not immediately register what she saw.

A great deal of thick, black clouds were piled high over the building. It was also far, far too bright in spite of the late hour, but the brightness was coming from the building itself. But it wasn't from the lights within, it was from...

No.

No, no, no.

"The orphanage! It's on fire!" Dropping her bags, she charged toward the building. "José! Adriana! Eduardo! Eliane!" she called, praying they were outside, please, they had to be outside, they had to be okay. "The children! Someone save the children! Please! Someone help!"

"Milla!" a voice called back, and she recognized Juilo immediately. Her head whipped around—he sounded as though he were right beside her, but there was no one there. She wasn't thinking clearly, but she didn't have time to stop and wonder what was happening.

"Where are you?! Oh, darling, get away from there!" She paced around in front of the building frantically, unsure of where the voice was coming from.

"It burns, Milla!" another voice sobbed, and her heart just about wrenched itself out of her chest.

"Darlings, where are you?!" A horrified thought struck her that they could be inside, and she charged for the doorway, only for it to collapse seconds before she reached it. "NO!"

"Milla, why don't you help us?!"

"Help us, Milla!"

"It's hot! It's burning!"

They sounded so close, how could they sound so close? Were they on the other side of the door?

Before she could think, she had already grabbed a nearby branch and had shattered a window.

"Save us, Milla!"

"Where did you go?!"

"I'm coming!" Milla sobbed, but smoke was already pouring through the shattered window. "Don't cry, my darlings!"

"Milla!"

"You left us!"

"It burns!"

"MILLA!"

"Stop crying, please—!" The heat evaporated her tears before they could fall as she prepared to climb through the window, but something grabbed her shoulders and yanked her backward. "NO!" she screamed, struggling against the restraint. "The babies! I can hear them! Can't you hear them?!"

"Senhorita, keep back! This building is going to collapse!"

"But the children—!"

Fire fighters were already running past her to leap through the window she'd broken open. She fought to join them, the cries of the children still ringing in her ears.

"They're just inside, can't you hear them?!"

"I can hardly hear you over the flames! Keep back!" He continued to drag her backward.

Milla, save us, Milla, how could you leave us, it hurts, it burns—

"But the children—how can you not hear them?!"

"Can someone help me?! She's hysterical!"

Milla, you left us, it hurts, it burns!

Once again for the briefest of moments, she wished she could stop hearing them.

And in those brief moments, the firefighters within the orphanage fled, and the building collapsed.

Everything went still.

It should have been loud, but it was silent and slow, smoke billowing from the building as it fell. Water sprayed onto the still-smoldering ruins and more people rushed to the scene, everything seeming in slow motion. If there was noise, it was far, far away.

Except for the voices of the children.

Milla, why did you let us die?

so she did end up waiting up for him anyways 🙄

I want to write but I don't want to write

[leonardalphachurch]

there are a lot of stories i want to write but they take a lot of effort and so they’re really hard and then others stories that would take less effort but i also want to write them way less and so they’re also really hard and all that to say i am considering if i should make some of those latter stories into visual novel…

[chlmtsdoll]

Currently writing part five of I’ve always dreamed of and it’s taking a million years bc it’s gonna be a threesome fic and no one talks about how difficult it is to write from three different perspectives omfg

so I'm working on my mr. qi expansion mod (still not sure what I'll call it) and I'm working on commentary for each of the different Qi Challenges but I have NO IDEA what to have him say for the fucking qi fruit.

like, dude, are they supposed to look like you? they don't. they sell for a single gold. how do they have sunglasses? are they genetically-engineered? could you at least have made them taste good? are they magical? do you sneak out to the fields every night and draw the sunglasses on them yourself? why are they grown from beans yet turn into melons? how do they grow so damn fast? when the challenge ends, do you personally steal all of the remaining beans from my chests and inventory? why do you need 500 of them?

and why do some of the villagers like them as gifts?? demetrius i understand, he'd want to study them, and robin would like them to give to her husband. elliot, leah, and linus would find them interesting, harvey would be curious about the health effects, but jodi and kent?? pam??? shane??? what are they going to do with a qi fruit? fuckin slice that shit and eat it like cantaloupe?

I don't even know where to start with answering any of these questions. and I'm not sure I want to.
