I need to ramble a little about this,
about how solmare makes mc in canon pisses me off sometimes. like how easily they can just let themself be cruel and mean to the brothers and other characters. I can't be the only one who gets BAFFLED seeing the options of either be mean or be meaner when it comes to chats or lessons.
and I dont mean "boo hoo i cant take a joke:(((", I mean the fact that Mc constantly joins in on teasing other characters. like, ik mc doesnt have to be a sweet mary sue all the time, and they can have personality, but the whole "we love mc because they are kind ad caring" thing falls apart when we as the players aren't able to let Mc BE KING AND CARING.
the thing it: I got HYPED when I saw we could slap lucifer after he saves us from his damn dog for the first time, because that fucker NEEDED to be hit after all the shit he did. HOWEVER. when there are options to drag down asmo, or mammon, or levi, or ANY of the brothers for NO reason at all and it sucks, they could be minding their own business and all of a sudden mc is given the choice to be like "haha mammon you really are a scum bag" or "asmo I dont like you and you aren't attractive at all."
also, mc isn't even given the option to flirt back with or be romantic with the brothers as often as lucifer. I wouldn't be surprised if lucifer was randomly like "remember when we got married mc" when the player is actively dating literally ANYONE else than him. like seriously, I'll be pushing so hard to have a single flirty message with mammon, and lucifer over here is randomly alluding to mc and him doing the devils tango for 5 hours straight in the library out of the blue.
I personally get frustrated because in game mc is so different to my own mc, which obviously it will be hard to have everyones mc be accommodated and I am aware of that, but can't we have more dialogue diversity when it comes to mc? as in like, a max of four different things. be sassy, be nice, be a little mean, be timid, that kind of stuff. I have it so then my mc doesn't have a single mean bone in their body. they are in anyone and everyones corner. they are 100% someone you could go to for support! someone who is kind and patient!! HOWEVER. they will still call people out, just because she cares about someone does not mean she'll lie to them and tell them the bad thing they did was right. truly caring for someone means being honest with them no matter if the truth hurts or not. so sometimes I do actually appreciate the chance to be a little straight forwards and a bit brutally honest at times! but I still want the chance to tell the brothers to stop picking on mammon, or to tell lucifer to leave belphie alone and that he can't help but be tired, or to tell anyone at all to stop picking on luke, or literally ANYTHING that doesn't lead to a character being targeted by another person they love/care for.
YES. they are demons. they are clearly used to being nasty and mean. and yes they are BROTHERS, and siblings are nasty to each other(trust me, I know. I'm the second youngest of four. I get it.). but that doesn't mean they should have to handle arguments and belittlement from the only people who understand who they are as a person.
idk, it just angers me to think about Mc easily being able to hurt the brothers emotionally and physically just because they felt like it.

Can you please write some jealousy hcs for sf6 Luke, Ed, Jamie and Bosch? If you want to do different characters that's ok or if they are too many you can just do some. Thank you !!!
fun fact: this was originally supposed to be released 2 days ago but guess who accidentally deleted half of it. :| soo it had to be rewritten again. so sad. also I think you can tell who i like based on the length of the hcs, oops
Tumblr media
Luke
For the most part, Luke's a pretty chill guy so things don't bother him as much as they used to when he was younger.
He's glad to see you expand your horizons and meet new people along the way, especially finding new masters to train under.
He wants to see how far you've come from the last time he saw you, so he asks for a quick sparring match.
And you'd exceeded his expectations!
He's happy to see you develop your own style and dominate the streets.
"Woah, you've really stepped up your game," he said, genuinely impressed.
One thing though...why do you fight like a certain drunken boxer he knows?
Oh, You're learning under Jamie? Cool. Cool.
He's smiling but you can feel the tension behind it.
Luke is definitely the type of jealous that tries to play it off in a joking manner.
"Let's just say, I've had a couple of run-ins with the guy." he forced a chuckle. "He's...something else."
"Sounds like there's more to the story."
"Maybe there is, but it doesn't matter. What matters is that you're growing into an incredible fighter, and I'm proud of you for that." He pulled you in to press a kiss on your temple.
"Thanks, Luke. That means a lot coming from you."
"Anytime," he said, reaching out to ruffle your hair playfully. "And hey, if Jamie gives you any trouble, you let me know, okay?"
"Of course." you laughed, swatting his hands away.
"Come on, let's grab something to eat. I'm starving, and I bet you could use a bite after all that."
"Sweet! But you're buying."
You're your own person and you get to decide who you want to train under, but it still nags at him from somewhere deep within.
It may sound selfish of him, but he would rather you come to him for your concerns than anyone else. In part as your Coach and boyfriend.
So when other people try to make moves on you, he's internally sizing them up as he gives them a once-over.
So even though he has a smile on his face, it never reaches his eyes.
But he won't bring it up this time since you held Jamie in such a high regard.
And he's not going to hold your hand for every decision you make, but he trusts you enough not to do anything behind his back.
He hates to admit it, but it does tick Luke off knowing that Jamie would rub it in his face in their next encounter, it's almost inevitable.
So he would have a couple of not-so-nice words for the guy the next time he sees him on the street.
Tumblr media
Ed
Ed watched you near the gym entrance as he leaned against the heavy sliding doors. 
You were running late to your nightly meet-ups and you weren't responding to any of his messages leading up to now. 
He wouldn't have cared if something came up and you had to cancel your date with him, but you mentioned how excited you were about seeing him today that he didn't think you would've just dipped the last second. 
So he went on a whim and decided to pay the gym down the street a visit. 
And surprise, surprise, here you were. 
You were chatting with, what he could assume was your coach, in the middle of the room. 
Ed's eyes flickered at the way Luke lightly squeezed your shoulder with a certain fondness in his eyes.
Bastard. 
He didn't know if you were oblivious or dumb for not noticing, so he made himself known by stepping on the mats in your direction. 
His presence immediately drew your attention and your eyes lit up when you saw him approaching, stepping back from Luke you said, "Ed! What are you doing here?"
"You're late. We had plans, remember?"
"Oh, crap, I'm so sorry! I lost track of time and…" You sputtered an apology and some excuses that fell deaf on his ears but his attention was more focused on your chummy coach.
Ed's glare could paralyze most people with fear, but Luke observed the exchange with a curious expression.
Realizing you may be having a one-sided conversation you introduced the pair to each other.
Luke extended a hand with a friendly smile. "The name's Luke, I'm one of the coaches here at Buckler's.
"Yeah, I've heard about you." He said, not acknowledging Luke's hand, which made the former pull back.
"Ed's been teaching me a little bit of boxing on the side." You chimed in, wrapping your arms around him. 
Actually, it was a bit odd that he didn't immediately try to shake you off. But that meant his mind was somewhere else.
"You've taught them well, They're lucky to have you as a teacher." Luke replied, addressing Ed again.
"Right…" 
He shrugged the arm you were hanging onto. "You ready to head out?"
"Yeah, just let me grab my stuff real quick then we could go," you said, giving him a small peck on his cheek before heading toward the locker room, leaving the pair alone.
"Look I don't know what you're trying to play at and frankly I don't care, but it ends now." 
"Hey, man, I'm not trying to play at anything. I'm just their coach. We keep things professional here." Luke raised his hands in a placating gesture.
"Yeah? Well, you seem pretty damn friendly for just a coach." Ed scoffed, not buying it.
Luke sighed, dropping his hands. "I get it. You're protective of them, and that's fine. But you need to trust that I'm not crossing any lines."
"Trust ain't something I give out easily. And right now, nothing's telling me you deserve even a lick of it."
"Fair enough," Luke said, crossing his arms. "But you should know that Y/n's here because they want to get stronger. And I'm not going to stop coaching them because you're feeling insecure."
"Insecure? Now you're just spouting crap." Ed narrowed his eyes.
"I don't think so." Luke hummed.
You quickly reappeared from the locker room with a bag slung over your shoulder. 
"Ready!" You said cheerfully, grabbing Ed's hand. "Alright, I'll see you later, Coach!" You called over your shoulder as you dragged the boxer towards the exit.
"Take care. And keep on practicing your footwork," he gave you a small wave. 
"Oh, and Ed," Luke said with a slight edge to his tone, making Ed turn to face him, "Take your shoes off the next time you step on my mats, won't you?"
Ed scoffed, with a smirk tugging on his lips. At least, he ain't no pushover.
You glanced between the two, sensing the underlying tension but not quite catching the full meaning of Luke's remark.
"What was that about?"
"Nothing, Just gym etiquette."
Tumblr media
Jamie
With Jamie, he doesn't get jealous as easily as other people on this list. But he definitely has his gripes from time to time.
Woah, Pulling punches during a dance battle? Didn't see that one coming.
You told him you've been learning boxing from a guy who's been hanging around the beat square subway station, at least three times a week.
He was wondering what you've been up to.
Wait, did you say three times a week? That's more than you see him.
What's up with that?
He didn't mind you picking up new skills, especially with something as badass as boxing, but he missed your late-night talks.
And now, it was basically cut in half thanks to this Ed guy.
So he thinks it's time to give him a little visit from the infamous Jamie Siu, himself.
"Ah, now I get it." Jamie playfully circled him. "You got the whole bad boy get up and everything, huh?"
Ed looked up from his phone with an unreadable expression, "You gotta problem wit' me or something?" 
"Not at all buddy. I'm just trying to see who Mooncake's been hanging out with."
You sighed, telling him that Ed is just your Boxing coach and he's teaching you how to wield Psycho Power.
Nothing more, nothing less.
After adverting the crisis that was about to break out at the station, you would give Ed a quick apology before leaving with Jamie. 
Ed shrugged, saying 'whatever' and went back to his phone. 
You would have to confront him about his attitude later on.
Even if he felt jealous of where your focus was, you're still learning how to street fight. And he has no right to interfere with your training with your other Coaches. 
He shrugged at your concerns before asking if you wanted to try this new concoction he put together, offering the lip of his gourd to you. 
"Jamie, I'm being serious." You pushed the bottle back to him. 
"So am I."
You hardly picked up the way his eyes bore into your soul before he broke into a grin, taking a swig of his drink.  "Nothing like a good drink to ease the nerves."
When you tell him you're still upset with him about today, he'll lean up against the rails and cross his arms. 
Most of his jealousy stems from the fact that you're spending more time with other people than him. And he feels a tad bit neglected.
He's used to being isolated so the feeling isn't new to him. But he found himself staring at the space beside him where he expected to find your presence.
The times when you don't visit him, his mind wanders to the silly little adventures you'd tell him about and the places you get to see around the world.
But you have a track record of being gone for long periods of time and he just waits here, until you came back.
It's not your fault. He was just being a hard-ass, so he would be the one to apologize. 
"Look, I know you're still starting out and learning new stuff, which is cool n' all but I miss our nights together. And if it's that important to you, I'll back off. Just make sure to stop by from time to-time. 'Kay?"
"I will…And thanks, Jamie. I really appreciate it."
After a beat of silence, you gestured to the gourd resting beside you two. "Now, about that concoction of yours."
Jamie broke out in a grin, handing it to you. "Prepare to be amazed. The new and improved recipe is made from the ingredients you brought from Tian Hong Yuan. It's got a kick to it, just like you."
You both would've retired for the night in a drunken stupor, entangled in each other's arms.
He snuggled his face in the crook of your neck with a dumb smile, mumbling how much he loved you.
But next time you visit Ed, Jamie gives you a couple of 'souvenirs' to show off to your friend to show who you belong to. 
Tumblr media
Bosch
You know, when you decided to stroll through town, Bosch didn't expect you to pick up another Master.
If anything, he guessed it was your eagerness that made people naturally gravitate to you.
He could tell how much you admired Rashid's wind abilities and charming personality, but it still irked him more than he cared to admit.
You would spend the majority of your days training and chatting with Rashid, eventually kicking Bosch to the curb.
He knew it was nothing more than a student-teacher relationship, especially since Rashid's wind techniques were something you wanted to master.
And the thing is, Rashid isn't even a bad guy.
He's just very charismatic, in a way that can be overbearing at times.
But he still couldn't shake the pangs of jealousy that gnawed at his soul.
With every new move that clicked, you would glance at Bosch to see if he noticed.
He's at least a little glad you still sought him out, despite your attention being elsewhere.
Maybe that's why he let it go on for so long.
He'll sit on his emotions and let the feeling bubble in his stomach before he would ever confront you about it. 
He probably even lets out a few snippy remarks if you keep pushing him away.
He doesn't mean it.
He never does, but Bosch has never been in a relationship before, so he doesn't know what to do whenever he felt the burning sensation of jealousy below the surface of his skin.
Bosch sat by the window sill and let the cool midnight breeze brush against his face.
He should've been relaxing, but his mind was anything but calm.
He heard the soft creak of the floorboards as he turned to see you approaching. 
You sat next to him by the window, offering some food you got from the markets. 
Your presence instantly eased his nerves as you both sat in the dark, listening to the distant sounds of the city.
Sensing Bosch's off demeanor, you asked what was on his mind.
"I'm just thinking." He said, sipping his drink.
"About what?"
"You." His eyes met yours, "…and Rashid."
You blinked in surprise. "Rashid? What about him?"
"It's just…you've been spending so much time with him. I get that he's your new master and he's teaching you a lot, but it feels like there's no time for us anymore."
"I didn't know you felt that way, but I'm sorry for not noticing sooner." You said aimlessly playing with his hands before tangling them together.
Bosch sighed, looking down at your intertwined hands. "You don't owe me an apology. I know I'm being hard-headed. I just…I wish I could open up to you more."
"You can always talk to me about anything, Bosch. And you don't need to force yourself to do so for my sake."
He looked up, meeting your eyes again. "I know. It's just hard sometimes. And seeing you with Rashid, makes me feel..."
"Jealous?"
"It's stupid, I know."
"I don't think it's stupid, it's a very human emotion. But I want you to know that no matter what, I'll always want to be here with you."
He hummed, still not taking your words to heart and opting to stare off into the night.
"How about this?" You scooted closer, resting your head on his shoulder, "I'll set aside more time for us, and you tell me whenever something's bothering you instead of bottling it up...Deal?"
A smile tugged on Bosch's face as he drew your intertwined hands closer, brushing his lips against your knuckles.
"Deal."

what it means to be loved
summary: jj’s perspective on falling in love with you
warnings: none
JJ is scared of love. He is scared of giving someone the power to know him so well that they have the power to cut him down, whittle him into nothing, to twist the knife right where it will cut the deepest. Utterly destroy him. And more than anything, he fears that after all of those terrible things, he will beg. He will beg you not to leave, pathetic and on his knees, forgiving you for every hurtful act in his desperation not to be alone. 
He is hesitant to let anyone in, only accepting intimacy in the form of singular nights spent chasing orgasmic highs. It’s the only thing he thinks he’s good for, after all -  meaningless hookups, a few hours at most of connection, and mumbled goodbyes in the hours between midnight and dawn. If JJ doesn’t allow anybody in, then nobody can leave. He prefers it this way. 
For a very long time, JJ thought that he didn’t know what love felt like, that he simply was born without the capacity to be loved. So when he realizes he has fallen in love with you, it is the single most terrifying moment of his life.
It took months before he was able to admit to himself that he was in love. There is no other word that could describe the way he smiles at the thought of seeing you, how your laughter makes his heart skip a beat, how home was not Luke’s house, nor the Chateau, but rather in the warmth of your arms. 
JJ is still not sure what it means to love or to be loved. But he is certain that what the two of you have can be nothing else. Love is the way you bring home something for JJ after every grocery store run: daisies, fruit gummies, crisp apples, the kind that he likes but never buys for himself. It is JJ knowing your drink order by heart and teaching you how to surf and learning how to braid your hair. It is carrying extra band-aids for him in your bag and holding him tight as he cries into your shoulder and making him the good macaroni and cheese, the kind with sharp cheddar and breadcrumbs baked on top, when he mentions he is craving it. 
Love is the seashell he gave you threaded around your neck and folding his faded t-shirts. It’s the way JJ watches the reflection of bonfires in your eyes, the swift movement of your fingers across guitar strings; how he thinks that he would know the distinct melody of your laughter anywhere. It is JJ saving all of his best jokes for you, the way he takes note of the beautifully small moments of life because you have taught him how to appreciate them: a perfectly sweet peach, the wildflowers growing next to the road, the silvery scales of the fish he has caught glinting in the sun. 
Love is the leap of faith that JJ has never taken for anybody but you, trusting that you will catch him even when countless others have not. 
It is the way JJ shoves his hands into the pockets of his cargo shorts and looks to the ground. “I missed you.” “I want you.” “You looked real pretty today.” He will mumble tokens of affection to you, scuffing the floor with his boots, a flush of red blooming across his cheeks. Anything to avoid saying, “I love you.” But you know what he means. You know this is how he tells you that he loves you. His uncharacteristically shy demeanor, so different to his usual cockiness, proves to you the sincerity of his words. 
Love is all new to him. It is a strange feeling, to care about someone so much that he feels raw, vulnerable; it is as if you are his one weakness and also his greatest strength, all at once. Never before has JJ felt that another’s happiness could be so essential to his own. Never before has he felt so certainly that he is in love. That he loves you.

‼️NIGHTBRINGER LESSON 46 SPOILERS‼️
masterlist | all lessons | season 3 | lesson 45.1 | lesson 45.2 | lesson 47
i'll probaboy be moving my baby sister into college when this queues up 🥲 sob sob
slight lesson 76 spoilers
we love to see more of a lighthearted lesson
Tumblr media
ah yes, siblings 🫶🏽 levi is me, i am levi
i also love the fact that luci, mams, levi, and simeon are all working together to help mammon
it's clear how much they all adore him even if they're shitheads sometimes (read: most of the time)
Tumblr media
anyone else having war flashbacks to cocytus? no? just me? kay.
Tumblr media
see now they're just making up words bc what are we talking about 😭 also love how they didn't bother to make a 2D CG picture for it bc it's never gonna be mentioned in another lesson after this point
Tumblr media
...i'd have to kms
imagine every step you take leads to a blood curdling scream...everybody's dying idc
Tumblr media
"dear, sweet henry 1.0" my ASS
homeboy didn't even remember you when y'all were trapped in that made and had to get charmed by asmo 😭
...unless that was his way of telling levi to make new friends, just like the way he left levi in the anime bc levi had no friends outside of henry
but i also wanna see the full extent of mammon's power 🧍🏾 the devs need to stop giving us cut scenes every time my man steps up to fight a monster
Tumblr media
that's hilarious actually
imagine some lower level demon actually ended up getting eaten bc they couldn't beat the monsters and the "research" was all in vain
Tumblr media
leave it to me to read too far into things 🤞🏽
example x of mammon being lucifer's favorite and most trusted brother
regardless of how dumb mammon thinks a task is, he'll do his best to get it done as perfectly as possible if it means keeping up a good image for lucifer or making lucifer happy. lucifer knows this despite rarely, if ever, admitting it to himself, mammon, or anyone else, and that's why he trusts mammon with serious shit when the situation calls for it
granted, the speech mammon is giving probably wasn't orchestrated by lucifer, but the way it goes still reflects on him and diavolo, and mammon knows better than to make his big brother and the future demon king look bad in front of who knows how many people
Tumblr media
MAMMON SIMPS HOW WE FEELING????
they absolutely would've fucked backstage if he wasn't up next for his speech /srs
they fucked in the back of class and they'd do it again BOP BOP
also mammon's speech being "get off your lazy asses and go touch grass" was easily the best idol about this lesson. 10/10 writing
Tumblr media
about the first screenshot, why is nobody in-game verbally commenting on simeon wearing his angelic clothes ??? didn't he stop wearing them as soon as he fell from grace in the og timeline ?????
or maybe this is a result of too many time soup shenanigans. maybe his body can't tell if he's human or still an angel
but it's clear that everyone's noticed something's off with simeon even if they haven't said anything to him verbally, which is why luke was so hellbent on mc asking simeon if he was okay. but nobody's outright saying anything bc this mf will deny any and every concern thrown at him with a smile on his face. he won't even tell mc what's going on, so lucifer had to step in
ending the hard bonus chapter like this was VILE but in the best way possible

partially because it's been the flavour of a lot of my interactions with your bots : But which of our boys would be absolutely a *mess* when they find out you're pregnant? Who's the most likely to be just constantly trying to spoil and protect you? And... who is most likely to run? (not ACTUALLY run, but sort of wants to at the beginning)
(brought to you by a recent interaction with one of your Seb bots panicking over a pregnancy)
THISSSS ive been wanting to delve into the boys being dads and dealing with pregnancy but ive nvr done it before nor have i read much in terms of tht.
for the boys most likely to be very protective.. spoiling u a lot… i think we know the obvious answer. rob. and in other terms, nikolai. those two are definitely the most territorial of the boys and charlie is just under them. all three would actually be completely overjoyed, but also violently protective. rob wld refuse to leave on any work trips longer than maybe a few days, nikolai wld be by ur side constantly, and charlie trusts u enough for him to be away for work during the day but once he’s home he’s all over u glued to ur side to do anything u need. even in the early stages of pregnancy, nikolai especially is very territorial. keeps u behind him, hand on u at all times, keeps u marked as his, growls at any others who get too close to u. some feral vampire thing. rob constantly babies u. always massaging ur sore muscles, rubbing ur feet, he takes over the cooking and cleaning even when u tell him he doesn’t have to. charlie does the same, fusses and snaps at u to stay down, sit, stop getting up, ask for things, but he does it all with love even if he sounds kinda angry.
also, speaking of charlie. i think if it were in the early stages of ur relationship he’d be scared at first. he didn’t have anyone to care deeply abt before, so the thought of smth so intimate happening, u carrying his child, has him a bit terrified, and he doesn’t necessarily run but he does pull back a bit, is more snappy, stays at work longer, he’s smoking more often, until u just end up breaking down bc u think oh god he doesn’t love u anymore he regrets it. but once that happens he snaps out of that headspace and completely switches up, confesses his genuine undying love for u as he had before, reassures u that this is really what he wants, he was scared. it takes a lot for him to admit that. babies u, does everything the others do in the end.
i think simon wld actually run. if we’re talking in the midst of brendan stuff, he’d easily shut down his brain and just disappear. completely go ghost on u and u just have no idea what happened. u worry that he’s dead or smth, yk? but after a couple months he comes back, completely broken as a man, tired and wanting to just live his life again free of this mess. (i fesr all the boys would eventually be sweet, caring, rub ur sore muscles, cook meals for u, look up things that can help, all of em. some just lean more some ways.)
ernst wld just looove to start a family. i think he’s such a girl dad. he’d cry like a baby when u tell him. wld be so attentive to ur every need, wld know a lot of different remedies and things to make u feel better bc he researches everything easily, remembering little details abt what u like. same with father anthony. ugh just looooves to be a dad.
depending on where we’re at in lukes story is how he’ll react. if it’s earlier in his career, before his eye injury, he’d probably be pretty fucking terrified. i don’t know if he’d go as far as to ghost u bc i mean .. u know where he lives. u know his game and practice schedule. so. can’t rly do that even if he wanted to. but he’d be a bit distant, more harsh, more anxious around u. he’s absolutely terrified of passing on his condition, terrified of ruining someones life, and he doesnt rly know how to like … love smth like that. he’s still got his own issues w u, how’s he supposed to raise a kid? but, it gets worked through. similar to charlie, u either end up breaking down or just straight up snapping on him. gets his head outta his ass real quick. if it’s a bit later after he’s retired, recovered from surgery, adjusted to his new life, he’s thrilled beyond belief. granted, if it’s too soon after everything happened and he’s dealing with everything he’ll probably panic a little but then just sob bc he loves u so much and he wants a family so bad no matter how scared he had been
now seb.. it’s kinda same how w luke, it depends on where ur at in his life. early on if he’s still dealing with severe issues, bad anxiety, his bipolar and anger problems, i mean, he’s just a mess. walks right out and u don’t hear from him for a few days. it takes a long time probably to get everything straightened around again .. and get him into some therapy and on some medication. but, again like luke, if it’s a bit later on after he’s opened up abt his issues, after he’s accepted help and has slowly learnt to cope, regulate his emotions, found some meds that work for him, i mean.. tbh i think he’d be pretty damn happy. i think he’s such a girl dad too. wld probably take a little while to like … remember everything u need help with.. and by god are ur mood swings throwing him for a loop. often jokes ‘is this how i was?’

After an injury (yours or his)I feel like he'd get a little overbearing and clingy. He loves you and trusts you but he wants, no NEEDS to take care of you so he knows you're okay
absolutely! i feel like this man would be so worried about you, like endlessly worried. this man is a simp (as we have already established) and he would do anything to make sure you're okay. gonna put some thoughts below hehe
if you get injured;
okay, if you get an injury? oh no, prepare for him to be checking up on you all the goddamn time
like if it's a cut or something small, he'll make sure you're changing out the plaster(band-aid), making sure it gets air, making sure it's not getting infected, the whole nine-yards
but if it's something serious like a broken bone or a sprained ankle or like a concussion, you aren't doing anything, he would absolutely make sure his partner didn't have to do a goddamn thing if they were injured
you needed a drink of water? he's already gone, snacks? car keys picked up and telling you to text him what you want, just want cuddles? he's already there with blankets
but say he gets called away on a case, he honestly contemplates asking prentiss if he can use his annual leave because he does not want to leave you, you have to tell him to go on the case and convince him that you'll be okay
he still periodically checks on you though, he calls you whenever he gets a minute, texts you and if you ever don't reply, he gets very worried
like picture this, you've hurt your leg and before luke left, he made sure that if you were in bed or the living room, you were gonna be comfy with pillows, blankets, the whole nine-yards but that makes you so so sleepy and you end up falling asleep
so you don't reply to him for a few hours and you wake up to a slew of texts of him making sure you're okay before he realised that you were probably asleep and he sends the sweetest message hoping that you had a nice sleep and asking if you can text him whenever you wake up
it makes you realise how much you loved this man and you are so lucky to have him
and when you are better you obviously repay him for being so attentive and sweet ;)
like he would be overbearing but i think he'd reign it back when he realised how much you just needed him to be supportive and how exhausted you were
he is somewhat overbearing but you know that he means well and if you ever asked for space, he'd happily give it to you and that's what makes him so goddamn perfect
and now, if he gets injured;
so, let's say he got injured, sprain ankle, whatever and he's meant to be resting up, you want to repay the favour from whenever you are injured but he's not having it
you leave the room to get some water for him? he is trailing after you. you offer to go to the store to get him whatever food he wants? he begs you to stay in bed with him
i feel like whenever luke gets injured, it would usually be related to a BAU case and that would make him like, more clingy than he usually would be, he doesn't want you to leave, he wants to keep you close since he can't protect you when he's injured so he'd rather have you close
it's sweet but a little frustrating when you just want to take care of him and so you often find compromises and work-arounds and stay on the phone with him a lot
but like luke is so clingy when he's injured, he just wants you near him and it makes everything feel better, it's sweet really but you also find it a little bit funny

"But like is it edible? To not gluten free people?" → this is just begging to be for the phantoms
You're so so right! Enjoy!
Reggie feels more than sees Luke come up beside him, not taking his own eyes off the plate. To eat or not to eat. Sure, it probably couldn't kill him a second time. But also they hadn't really figured out the limits to their new semi-mortality and he'd really rather not risk it. It's pretty though. It seems harmless. He probably would have taken three by now if not for the little tag next to the silver platter.
"Did you figure it out yet?" Luke asks, voice low.
Reggie sighs and shakes his head. "On the one hand, they look good. On the other, so did those hot dogs."
Luke nods solemnly. "I've narrowed down the suspects to either Jadah, over there dancing with the short kid, or Nick."
Reggie risks tearing his eyes from the pretty swirls of frosting to glance over his shoulder. Jadah seems normal, jumping around with her boyfriend in the open area being used as a dance floor. It takes him another minute to spot Nick. The guy isn't nearly as 'life of the party' as he seemed to be before everything with Caleb, but Reggie knows he's here. He finally spots him off in a corner, chatting with one of the other lacrosse guys. He seems happy. Not like a crazed ghost magician intent on taking their souls.
But he'd seemed similarly unassuming before.
"What are you guys doing?"
Reggie and Luke both jump at Julie's sudden appearance. You'd think she was the partially dead one sometimes.
Reggie shakes off his shock and points at the plate. "We're trying to figure out if they're clear to eat or not."
Julie stares at him blankly. "It's just cupcakes," she says slowly. "Is there a reason it wouldn't be?"
Luke jabs a finger at the tag beside them. Specifically, at the smaller text underneath the words "Mini Chocolate Cupcakes."
Julie frowns. "Are you guys allergic or something? Oh my gosh, why didn't you tell me!? I don't want to be poisoning you all over again!"
"Nononononono," Reggie cuts in, shaking his head quickly. "No we're not allergic to anything. Except Alex I guess. He's allergic to bees. And that weird perfume stuff."
Luke elbows him in the side, hard. Reggie yelps.
"Point is, they're 'gluten free'," Luke says, putting air quotes around the label just like he'd seen Flynn doing.
Julie blinks, mouth half open and brows furrowing. "So? Some people can't have it. It was sweet of Nick to bring something celiac."
"So it was Nick!" Luke exclaims, huffing. "That's it, I'm not trusting it."
"It's a cupcake!" Julie insists, crossing her arms. "It just happens to be gluten free."
"But is it edible?" Reggie states, raising his brows. "To not gluten free people?"
Julie just gives him that 'I don't even know what to say to that' look.
Reggie shrugs defensively. "It's a fair question."
Julie closes her eyes for a long moment. Luke and Reggie exchange nervous glances. Is this the part where they find out that GF actually stands for Ghost Fungus or something? But when her eyes fly back open, she doesn't say a word.
Instead, she grabs one of the little chocolate maybe-poisoned-treats, pulls off the wrapper, and pops the whole thing into her mouth. Reggie gasps and Luke grabs her shoulders.
"Are you okay?!" he demands, shaking her a little bit.
Julie mumbles something around the cupcake, annoyance flashing in her gaze. Luke's face is getting paler by the second until she swallows.
"It's literally just a cupcake," she laughs, licking icing from her lips. "Quit freaking out."
With that, she twists out of Luke's grasp and walks away, rolling her eyes in what Reggie hopes is fond exasperation. Luke stares after her.
Reggie turns back to the plate. "Nope, not risking it," he decides, snatching a cookie from a much safer platter and heading off into the party.

Dateables as children
No warning. tooth rotting fluff. 
Summary: side characters became children, you are their nanny. Gender neutral reader 
feeling stressed wrote this fic to forget about exams. 
Diavolo
Little prince surely is a lively and energetic ball, who doesn’t like to sit around for too long. He would constantly go up to you and ask a lot of questions about anything at all. You couldn’t ignore his requests either, because he would use his puppy eyes on you, to get what he wanted.  
As a child he likes when you give him a lot of your attention and buy him gifts. Diavolo can even behave badly just to see your reaction or overall so that you’d finally pay him attention he needs.
He also likes when you hug him or pat his head. Little prince is touch starved, so you’re more than welcome to embrace him. Diavolo would constantly ask you to sleep with him in his bed, because he enjoys your company very much, and doesn’t want to be separated even for a second. While you lie next to him, you must read him some human-world fairy tales and sing him a lullaby. “That’s what you are obliged to do, or else I won’t sleep” – says Diavolo.
In the end, Diavalo is not a very difficult child, if you listen to him and do what he wants, then soon the little devil will comply you.
Barbatos
Barbatos is easy to handle as a child. He doesn’t ask for much, listens to you and acts more like an adult, rather than a kid. He is very observing and curious, always want to learn something new. He helps you with handling and caring for other children, especially Diavolo. Even when Barbatos becomes a kid, he doesn’t forget about his duties.
But because he is a child, he often needs your help with his responsibilities. It’s so cute when he comes blushing to you and asks you for a hand. “Ah, MC, if you don’t mind, could you assist me in preparing a meal for a young Master?”
Barbatos is not used to relying on others, he always preferred to do everything on his own. But in this condition you can’t let him overwork himself. He is just a child! Seeing him being so serious in a young age, and not having fun with other kids makes your heart ache. So you would remind Barbatos to let loose and play with children.
As a child he seeks guidance from you. He thinks you're pretty clever, so he likes to ask you about the human world, and other topics. He is fond of advancing his knowledge, so please entertain him with interesting facts and stories.
Luke
It might be hard to open up for this baby. He is coward and puts his guard up around every one, except Simeon and you. Luke always follows Simeon and doesn't stray too far from him. You had to work hard so that Luke could let you into his comfort zone. You still acted cautiously, letting him know that he can trust you and may not be afraid of you.
After you successfully made friends with the little angel, you slowly began to bring him with other children. The easiest thing was to introduce Luke to Barbatos, they quickly found a bond with each other.
When Luke is afraid of something, he always hides behind your back. Despite this, you're always trying to help Luke get over his fear. You try to be slow with him, because angel baby needs special treatment from you.
He has a sweet tooth, so when you want to comfort him, you give him cookies, cupcakes and candies.
Simeon
Adult in a child’s body number 2, but more laid back. Simeon is very nice as a child. He is courteous with other children, especially with Luke. The angel is friendly, likes to be around people.
Behaves like an older brother, sharing with his things, and just likes to make people smile. Simeon is doing his best to help you, and wants you to turn to him when you have any kind of inconvenience. He is very bubbly and honest.
His favorite activity is helping you put the other kids to bed. After this he can be alone with you and enjoy the silence, or little angel can snuggle up to you, and no one will interfere.  
“Please spend some time with me too” – sometimes he can become selfish, in that times you better make it up to him.
Solomon
Oh… well. May be very egoistic and mischievous. He likes to play pranks and be little shit to everyone. I believe that’s his way to say, “Heeey! I am here! Look at me!”. Doesn’t like when you lecture him about his behavior. If you tell him to stop, he will by contrast act up.
Well, you are not fool, that’s why you seek a way to curb his fiery temper. But it’s easier said than done… You try to keep him busy at all times, so that he wouldn’t have energy and time to make others’ life miserable. Most of the time he falls for that, but sometimes he just doesn’t, and that days you pray that he doesn’t start a fight with someone.
“Why are you so meeaaan MC?” – he also likes to play a victim, if you, again, scold this little demon.
He likes it when you praise him, at such moments he becomes more obedient. So you use this method, of making him more calm and understanding.

HI, I'M A BIT (very) LATE TO THE PARTY... but i just got through main story 11.1 and 11.2 WOOO!!!
and i'm not sure what is it about this case that got me so much more paranoid than the other cases, maybe it's the creepy note in the satchel, or how the culprit wasn't obvious at all (at least to me, i didn't want to doubt to sweet old lady).
which brings me to my next point: something about having the sweet old lady be the culprit is deeply unsettling to me... cause she's not like ava kendriks or like... the other culprits we've come across... (wow could someone make a recap of the whole of main story cause i'm forgetting) who you think like "oh they're kinda fucked up in the first place so it makes sense". but why it's unsettling to me is because, the thought that even a sweet looking senile old woman is capable of crime, if the right buttons are pushed... and she did it not only once, BUT TWICE. idk if you've watched bong joon-ho's "mother", but she reminded me of the mother from that movie, who is willing to do anything for her son, whether that may be good or bad, even killing someone herself when she finds out that the truth that her son was a murderer. like, if the circumstances were met, people are capable and are willing to do... wrong.
that said, THIS TRULY WAS A VYN EPISODE... IT OPENED MY MIND. I'M SORRY I'VE BEEN SLEEPING ON YOU VYN!!! like vyn during these two chapters... really intrigued me. when he shot himself with the air gun and knowingly drank the poisoned tea (GOD DOES ANYONE IN THIS HOUSEHOLD HAVE ANY SENSE OF SELF-PRESERVATION. MY GIRL ROSA WOULD BE STRESSED AF). but it's the way he heavily relies on himself, even to his own detriment, that really intrigues me. even when rosa was there, i feel like he isn't even able to let himself fully rely on her either, but he'd rather put himself in harms way to get the results he wants (which i can name TWO BOYS WITH THE SAME LACK OF SELF PRESERVATION, i'm looking at you luke and marius). but the difference between luke and marius' "self-sacrificial"-ness to vyn's is that, vyn fully knows the consequences and is in control of the situation. it's like he has weighed options and run the calculation in his head, and STILL goes for it even if it runs the risk of hurting himself. he's just as reckless, or even more so, than marius and luke if i may argue. and another point to add is, while luke's and marius' "self-sacrificing" nature comes from viewing themselves as "lesser" than the other (eg. luke viewing himself less than rosa, and marius viewing himself less than giann) vyn's "self-sacrificing" act comes from pride and his inability to rely on others (in other words he views himself better than others)
i've also been thinking about how vyn still choose to drank the poisoned tea. like i know it was to pin point jill meadows as the culprit, bUT SURELY, THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY OF GOING ABOUT THIS, ISN'T THERE??? VYN RICHTER, THE WAY YOUR MIND WORKS........... ahem, anyways, other than what i have mentioned before, i'd like to think that the reason why he did all that for jill meadows, letting her into his house and even drinking the tea, that i think somewhere deep inside, he still wishes to be proven wrong, he still had the tiniest bit of hope that jill was good. honestly maybe i'm reading into this bit too much, but my reasoning for this is that, as you have seen, vyn is also capable of good, even in his little tsundere ways. he doesn't want to admit it, (caUSE HE'S SHY-//HIT) but his kindness is shown in the way he treats albie(the homeless man), and how he leaves his car keys for rosa. ANYWAYS, it wouldn't be so much of a stretch to think that vyn is a believer of "second chances" considering how he wanted to escape from his family, and i think his occupation as a psychiatrist kinda solidifies that theme as well.
the highlight of this chapter to me, was the confrontation between rosa and vyn, when vyn said something along the lines of "please trust me, even in this moment, please trust me," HURT ME SO BAD. (ESPECIALLY WITH THE WHOLE TEAM DISTRUSTING EACH OTHER, WHERE'S MY FOUND FAMILY HUU) it's the first for me to see vyn... this vulnerable, like how his heart is spilling out in this very moment right here. in which i also kind of find him hypocritical in this moment, but in a good way! vyn "distrustful and skeptical of others, extremely hesitant to ask for help" richter wants to be a reliable and trustworthy person. WHICH MAKES SENSE, being trusted by someone means that you hold some power against them. and trusting someone would mean that you'd have to open up and be vulnerable in front of them! so of course vyn would rather be trusted rather than trusting!!! GOD VYN RICHTER THE MAN YOU ARE.
anyways, yes this ended up being a vyn richter appreciation post. please excuse any inaccuracies in my knowledge of vyn-ology (sorry phd vyn-ology experts) your asks has just become a deposit for my rambles, I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND. I WILL NOW NINJA JUTSU MYSELF INTO THIN AIR. FWOOSH!!!!
WAHHH HI CHIKA and congrats on finishing main story 11!!!
this is such an interesting ask because i totes agree with your thoughts/feelings about the case itself. i too was HEAVILY unsettled by the case for those reasons you pointed out, but also because the victim was a child. if im remembering correctly, this is the first case we've had where it was a kid who died, our youngest casualty to the nxx cases thus far. the culprit being the old lady was also something that i didnt want to suspect. it's not that i hadnt suspected her, it was that i didnt want to entertain the fact that it couldve been her, like how you said it. in her intro scenes, i deeply felt for her and the story also makes you want to be on her side. shes sweet, shes polite, she struggles with tasks and has nobody else in this world. in a way, she was the perfect culprit because the emotional effect she has on the readers at first glance makes you not want her to be the one responsible, even when the evidence begins to point in her direction. it's been a while since i myself completed main story 11, but i couldve sworn that vyn himself said something along these lines too, that emotions can cloud one's judgement into disregarding the truth that starts to come out. while i havent watched the movie you mentioned, i totally agree like. she was such a good culprit because of how it was framed. it makes you think that overall, she wasnt a "bad" person, but one pushed to act. but at the end of the day she killed a kid, man. even if she supposedly didnt intend to and just wanted to "scare" her. just.....what a damn good case. i was really gripped by this one
now, onto your thoughts about vyn. i was FASCINATED by him in this chapter. everything im about to say onwards about vyn should be taken with a GREAT HEAP OF SALT, as the saying goes, because up til now, vyn is the nxx boy who i have the most trouble grasping which is wholly probably because ive read the least cards of him (in comparison to the amount of cards ive read for the other boys) but ksjbfljlfdsd ive pLAYED HIS PERSONAL STORIES COMPLETELY AT LEAST and you articulate well just why hes so fascinating to me in this chapter.
i like what you said "vyn's "self-sacrificing" act comes from pride and his inability to rely on others (in other words he views himself better than others)" but also i think theres another facet to it. i do think it partly comes from pride, but i also think it partly comes from fear. see, what i understand about vyn from previous stories ive read from him, particularly from his pre-anniv personal story 3 (iirc) is how he fears and hates being seen as anything other than perfect, or as someone who has flaws. it's not because he wants to be seen as better than everyone, it's that he cant handle being seen as lesser. he hates to be pitied. that being said, i ABSOLUTELY agree with your judgement of him sometimes....testing the goodness of people. something clear to me in the stories of his that ive experienced is that, if theres one thing that always surprises him, it's people's capacity to be good. it's what constantly takes him off guard with mc, it's why he didnt expect to fall in love with first sight at her. given his background and backstory (and uh, in this main story chapter in particular, given his family members lol) he just....operates under the vague notion that people will not be good. or that theyll fail it. and sometimes he tests whether or not that will happen, because one of vyn's constant questions that he asks in his actions, especially towards mc, is whether or not mc will trust him.
(sidenote: one of vyn's lines when you play old maid with him is something along the lines of "im glad to have won your trust" when you pick the card he tells you to pick and you win as a result. again, this act of testing another person's good will in his character, testing their trust. i think trust is a very key theme in vyn's character as a whole)
vyn's moments of vulnerability in this chapter was also SOOOOOOO YUMMY TO MEEEEE because if theres another thing i think about vyn, it's that he loathes being out of control. he likes being the expert strategist, he likes being able to sway the odds in his favor no matter what the situation is, in his personal story theres even an instance where he was behind the scenes orchestrating several events unbeknownst to mc. he likes being in control and so vulnerability is such a nightmare for him. personally, the highlight of this chapter to me was when vyn already got poisoned and mc was trying to help him throw up the poison, because even WHEN POISONED he was hesitant to have her see him like this. it's good whump, your honor. and also it's good writing.
anyhoo, thank you for this ask!!! i am NOT a vyn-ology expert, quite the opposite, but i do adore when he takes the front row seat in main stories because it's always a treat to see

Very long post and a lot of across the Spiderverse spoilers incoming:
I finally watched across the spider-verse yesterday and I couldn’t stop thinking about the Miles & Gwen and Percy & Annabeth parallels in that movie.
Starting with Gwen and Annabeth because they are not as similar as Miles and Percy but there’s still things to talk about. Gwen being Spiderman ending with her friend dying and getting blamed for it by her dad making her run away reminded me a lot of Annabeth being a demigod ending with monsters attacking her family a lot and getting blamed for it by her dad making her run away. Running away to a place where people have special abilities like you and fitting in and learning about it, thinking you can never go back to where you came from. Both had one of their only friends die (Peter) or at least be dead-adjacent (Thalia) which made them closed off and felt guilty even though it wasn’t their fault. And on a lighter note how Gwen was talking to the Vulture that didn’t belong to her universe and then Miguel just screamed Annabeth to me, like her clear pride that she wasn’t confused actually and knew about the multiverses and was trying to show what she was made off was peak Annabeth to me. Personality wise I just feel like their confidence and maturity for their age due to their experiences are really really similar. Also both of them eventually going back to their dads who have learnt to accept them for their abilities and they decide to make another try.
Miles and Percy have a lot of differences, main ones being their upbringing, school-lives and also Mile’s artistic side and being a bit of a genius (Percy is still really smart though just in a different way). BUT COME ON THEYRE ALSO SUPER SIMILAR!! A kid from New York with got special abilities they can use to defeat monsters. Having to balance being a normal teenager and having to fight monsters with no control over when and where (the school meeting scene in the movie reminded me of Percy so much). Not being able to tell normal people about their abilities. Discovering that there are more people like them with these abilities shortly after discovering said abilities. Finding a new sense of belonging with these people like you but not quite being like them either. Being betrayed by one of the few people you felt close to (Aaron and Luke). Being one of the most powerful of the people like you but still treated like a kid and not being let known as much as you want to know. It turning out you’re actually not meant to be who you are at all (Miles being an anomaly and Percy being a child of a big three despite them having an oath to not have kids). Having a horrible destiny you’re told you can’t do anything about (Percy’s prophecy they thought meant he was going to die and Mile’s canon events). Their loyalty to the people closest to them and their family. Miles in the entire latter of half of the movie screamed Percy. AND THEIR SENSES OF HUMOR!!!! You could give Mile’s jokes to Percy and vice versa and it would sound perfectly in character and they both use it as a way to break the tension and shows the really quick-witted way they look at the world.
Now their dynamic together. They both got that sweet awkward teenagers that care a lot about each other and are clearly in love but won’t admit it. They miss each other a lot and understand each other in a way nobody else does. They trust each other with their lives. Gwen and Annabeth always trusting Miles and Percy despite being hurt and betrayed by others before. Gwen joining the spider-society before Miles and having to keep secrets just like Annabeth has been at camp half-blood for a lot longer than Percy and not being able to tell him everything. Both Gwen and Annabeth are therefore put in a position of more experience and trust from the leaders in juxtaposition to Miles and Percy who know the least out of everyone and is constantly trying to gain the trust Gwen/Annabeth already have. Annabeth and Gwen also know something about Percy and Miles they can’t tell him (Gwen knowing Miles is an anomaly and Annabeth knowing Percy’s prophecy that heavily implies he’s gonna die). Percy and Miles as someone with a good parent/parents talks to Annabeth/Gwen about their dads and they open up about it. The slight jealousy element with Hobie and Gwen reminded me of the jealousy elements within Percabeth, both a tiny bit with Luke but also Rachel if Rachel would’ve been Annabeth’s friend/potential love interest and not Percy’s (the Hobie thing is a bit less intense than the Rachel thing though but still the roles Hobie and Rachel fulfill in regards to the main relationship is similar in that also Rachel was someone for Percy to feel normal around and being in Hobie’s dimension was a place Gwen could stay that wasn’t just headquarters also Rachel and Hobie would get extremely well along you can’t change my mind).
I ALSO NEED TO POINT OUT BECAUSE I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT IT PERCY PRINTING OUT A PICTURE OF ANNABETH TO HAVE IN HIS NOTEBOOK BECAUSE HE MISSES HER IS THE NON-ARTIST EQUIVALENT OF MILES DRAWING A MILLION SKETCHES OF GWEN!!

Can I make a headcanon request please of who do you think of the obey me cast gives the best cuddles to a sleepy little one?
I thought of it to be a consensual scenario, just fluff and obv a lot of cuddles. It also include also how they spend your "bed-time", since I considered the "sleepy" as "ready to go to bed or at least take a nap".
-------------------------------------------------------------
This is the ranking:
Beel and Belphie Simeon (points bonus: Luke) Asmo Solomon Satan Diavolo Lucifer Barbatos Mammon Levi
In first place of course we have Belphie and Beel. Who is better to give the best sleepy cuddles than the Avatar of Sloth and his giant bear brother? You will spend most evenings in the planetarium, with Belphie telling you the story of constellations and most beautiful stars while Beel feeds you a bottle. At such moments you really don't want to sleep, you want to listen more! But then Belphie kisses your forehead, muttering that it's bedtime and there will be more stories tomorrow. He covers your eyes and uses his power to send you to the land of dreams and you only vaguely feel Beel kissing your cheek and picking you up, wrapped in a soft blanket. They take you back to their room, where you will sleep between them, wrapped in their arms.
Then in second place we find Simeon 'cuz iz bezt daddy uwu, he doesn't have the same powers as Belphie but his voice is so calming and manages to comfort you when you had a bad day. Moreover, I think he'd be the only one using skin-to-skin contact without shame or having other thoughts. And since it's canon that his skin is cooler than demons, imagine in summer: it's like having always a cool pillow! A true blessing. As much as he enjoys being alone while cuddling you, he also appreciates it when Luke joins you from time to time. He makes you a different bottle every time but always sweet and delicious. He can also sing in a way that is literally angelic, both in voice and song. They are ancient, handed down by angels over the centuries, with a language that is older than Latin. You can't understand the text, but does it really matter? Let yourself be lulled by his voice. And by the arms of Simeon.
In third place I would put Asmo, for the simple fact that he LOVES cuddles and physical contact, so be prepared for caresses, kisses and massages before going to sleep. Among the demons he's the only one who would use skin-to-skin contact too but… well, we're talking about Asmo. Even if he doesn't do anything sexual to you when you're little and just want to sleep, his hands might stay in certain places. His favorite thing? Paci kisses. He adores how every time you squirm all flustered and embarrassed. So adorable. It just makes him want to kiss you even more!
Conversely, I don't see Solomon as the cuddler type, unless you ask him directly. However, when you are in little space, he may be more affectionated towards you. He will cast spells. Like, a lot. To put you to sleep he uses a sensory approach, massaging your head as you reach your hands out, trying to touch one of the butterflies of light that flies around the room, while the enchanted bed rock gently.
Satan obviously reads you during cuddle. Fairy tales, children's books or cat encyclopedias…Lied on his bed, he will hold you on his chest and you will fall asleep to the calm sound of his voice, with your paci in your mouth (he doesn't trust to keep a book close to a bottle full of milk). He lets you touch the drawings, especially if the book is magical. You've never touched a dragon's skin, have you? Here, try stroking the one on this page. Don't worry, it doesn't bite! Very often he doesn't realize how late it is or even what page you fell asleep on, he reads the book till the end. He's a bit sad when he asks you if you liked the story, only to find you sucking the paci while asleep. You missed how the dragon found his treasure! But seeing how you smile in your sleep, he can't help but smile back. He knows that children need a lot of sleep and, in any case, you can both read again tomorrow.
Diavolo is great, he even plays with your stuffies, making up stories about them and talking in silly voices. It's always funny, just a little playtime before he decides it's time to sleep and wraps his arms around you. I was thinking about these scenarios in the canon universe of the game, but I like the idea of ​​him nursing you. 👀 In that case, he will tell you stories and legends of the Devildom, obviously suitable for little ones like you. His voice is deep and, together with the milk flowing into your mouth and the sense of security that envelops you, it doesn't take you long to fall asleep happy.
Lucifer is also very good, showing you his softer side - just for you of course! He plays one of his human-friendly records, creating a relaxing background melody. He holds you on his lap as he continues to work, but you still have his full attention! And if you had a bad day or you're feeling smaller than usual, he'll stroll around the room with you in his arms, rubbing your back as he murmurs softly in your ear how a goodd little baby you are and how Daddy will always be there for you.
The problem with these two is that they are terribly busy. They obviously make time for you and give you all the attention you want, but once you fall asleep, you may wake up with no one around! Obviously they bothered to put your stuffies in your arms, but it's not the same, is it? But don't worry, you won't have time to cry before they'll be with you right away! They were finishing work at the desk and you are still in their room, in their bed. No need to be afraid! They can hold you on their lap until you fall asleep again.
The same happens with Barbatos, with the only difference that he is even busier than them. He makes sure to give you your fix of nightly cuddles, singing lullabies as you suck on the bottle in his lap. The milk he prepares for you is infused with some herbs that facilitate sleep and drive away nightmares, all obviously flavored to make it sweeter and tastier than it already is. He still makes sure to spoil you properly! He stays next to you until you fall asleep, tucking you in and cradling your stuffie in your arms. Or all of them around your bed! Then he leaves little D n.2 to watch over you: as a butler, he still has a lot of work to do and doesn't want you to use your D.D.D. to call him. Little D. will take care of notifying him if necessary. And if you don't have any stuffie to hug, he can be usefull for that too.
Mammon wants to be the fun dad, playing with you all the time. So when you're tired and you reach out your arms towards him because you want to be picked up, resting your chin on his shoulder, well, he doesn't know what to do! Actually yes, he took care of all his siblings when they were younger, put them to sleep like the good big brother he is. But this? We are talking about you! His human! How can you expect him not to stiffen or babble nonsense as you hug him tenderly in your sleep? NO WAY! *Mammon stops working* He will just sit on the bed with you on his lap, occasionally stroking your hair, trying not to wake you up. He will definitely take pictures of you. Obviously to sell them, he has no intention of keeping them on his D.D.D. and look at them every day!
And in the end, Levi… this guy never sleeps and screams at the slightest form of physical contact. Really, it's not very good for cuddling. But that doesn't mean he won't do it. He definitely creates a blanket fort, full of pillows and stuffies. He wanted to get you your favorite snacks, but got caught by Lucifer as he was carrying them to his room. No food after dinner! Only a bottle. You will watch a movie appropiated for you age or, if you're too tired to do anything, you will lay your head on his lap and watch him play a video game for kids. It may seem strange, but Levi's bed is perfect for you: it's a tub, yes, but that means you don't have to worry about falling out. And, oddly enough, it's also comfortable once all the blankets are put back on. Obviously, Levi will scream internally throughout the night while you sleep, lying on his chest.

shyowl : fruitful and twisted. Chapter 3, missing scene : the people's reaction of the royal family announcing little lu. Pleaseee
UGH. GODS YES. Fruitful and Twisted, chapter 3, by @thewriterowl
Send me a missing scene!
The roar of the crowd deafens him, the loudest thing Luke has ever heard. He forces himself to stay stoic, relying on his training, his studies. He is The Last Jedi, Padawan to Obi-Wan Kenobi, son of the greatest Jedi who ever lived. It is only a crowd. He will not cower, despite the insidious compulsion to do so.
It's only a body.
I am a luminous being, he tells himself, though it does nothing to erase the blush darkening his face. The "robe" he's wearing — more of a long shirt, really, that opens in the middle and barely falls to the tops of his thighs — is sheer enough that the people filling the Empress's courtroom can see everything, the modest slip of cloth holding his junk doing next to nothing to conceal him.
Beside him, the man Luke refuses to think of as his twin is wearing an identical garment, though black, while Luke's is white. He releases the swell of jealousy he feels to the Force, tearing his gaze away from his Sith-self's posed form. Black had been his signature color since Bespin, it feels wrong to wear anything else.
The darker robe also hides more of his other self's body, to his annoyance, despite being equally as sheer as his own. The tone of Luke's skin stands out starkly beneath the white fabric, a contrast to the man sharing his seat, who appears merely sensuous, almost regal. It highlights his vulnerability, adds an air of helplessness the citizens of the Empire seem to flock to en masse. Though maybe that's the point.
"As you all know, our son Lukas has been our pride and joy, the greatest gift the Force had ever given us," the Empress, his not-mother, says to her adoring court, the holocams hovering at the base of the stairs leading to her and Vader's thrones.
"I am overjoyed to announce the return of Prince Lukas's younger twin, His Imperial Highness, Prince Luke Skywalker," her smile turns a little playful, girlish, almost. Luke feels his stomach sink to the balls of his feet. "Or little Lu, as his big brother is fond of calling him."
The crowd erupts into cheers, echoed by the throng of people outside the Palace walls, filling the streets, all of Imperial Center congregated to see his publicized humiliation.
Lukas takes his hand, squeezes it tight, the way Leia always used to, and pulls him to his feet, standing side by side in front of their shared throne. He loses his grip on his composure and curls away, his near nudity made so much worse by the simple act of standing. His ears burn hot enough to hurt when the people staring at him burst into adoring coos, aww's and oh's and look how sweet's.
"The Empire has long adored its Beguiling Prince, our firstborn son," Vader says, taking Padmé's hand the same way Lukas had taken his, threading their fingers together. "I trust all of you will welcome our youngest with the same depth of love and loyalty, as he tends to be a fair bit shyer than his older brother."
"The Shy Prince," the Empress decrees, smiling at the cheerful celebration that overtakes the courtroom, the moniker unanimously accepted. "He will serve you well, as I trust all of you will serve him."
"To the Shy Prince!" a Moff cries, raising a goblet of sweet smelling wine, igniting the people around him to do the same. Lukas chuckles at the display, taking the opportunity to reclaim their seat, sprawled a little less demurely, his robe sliding open all the way to his collarbones.
"Sit with me," he says, and pulls Luke down into his lap, disguising his thrashing as a quick fumble to comfortably arrange themselves. "You don't need to be scared, little Lu. They love you, you know."
Luke closes his eyes, turning to hide his face in his other self's throat, uncaring that he's mooning the Imperial Court and the holonet beyond — at this rate, they'll all see it, probably sooner than later. What does it matter?
"That's exactly what I'm scared of."

Obey Me OC: Makoto Gushiken ~ ✰
Tumblr media
[The design is innacurate in Gacha but- just take it-]
-"Age?"
-"I'm 20!"
-"Birthday?"
-"July 3rd"
-"Nationality?"
-"Japanese!"
-"Sexuality?"
-"I'm straight, but I do support LGBTQ fellows!"
-"What about your pronouns?"
-"She/Her..?"
-"Things you're fond of?"
-"Wellll, I really like chocolate, photography, diving into mysteries and solving them, haunted places, nice and kind of airheads type of people..like Mammon, otome games..And I'm a huge fan of roses, dresses and cute aesthetics. Let's see, what else..Oh, I also really love mythology, especially Greek mythology. I hope I didn't forget to mention anything else..-"
-"How about things you dislike?"
-"I dislike messes, a lot. I always make sure to keep my room clean and everything to stay organized. I also really want to stay away from rude, disrespectful assholes. The nerve some people have..Lucky for them, I'm patient with others. And very much a pacifist. I don't want to get myself in too much trouble. Another thing I hate are..well, guns. The sound of them also..Loud noises in general trigger me. Oh, and I can't really handle alcohol or spice well-"
-"Favorite song?"
-"Hmm, Jenny by Studio Killers!"
-"Thoughts on everybody?"
-"This will be long..Well, I'm gonna start with:"
Diavolo
"Well, I'm really fond of him! I love spending time with him whenever I can. He's such a gentleman, I respect him and look up to him a lot. His friendly attitude reminds me of how protective my dad is..Ahh, I miss home.."
Lucifer
"I don't know how to feel about him. I don't even know if I should trust him..First he protected me from Levi and..just when it seemed we were somewhat on the right foot, he nearly killed me. I probably shouldn't have stepped in, but I had to protect Beelzebub and Luke! Had it not been for Diavolo that day, I wouldn't be here right now. Ever since then, I've been even more uncomfortable and wary of Lucifer."
Mammon
"Assigned to keep an eye on me? More like the complete opposite, I've become this airhead's babysitter ever since I've stepped foot here. For some reason he spends more time in my room than in his, he's even beginning to sleep here now. If I didn't know any better, I'd say he likes me. A lot. That's cute..
To be honest, it's true that he may be kind of stupid, but that still doesn't give the others the right to treat him this badly. I hate it when the others call him names, jokingly or not. So I've been giving Mammon validation ever since. He gave me a nickname too, the guy has been calling me "Maki" a lot recently. Well, isn't that sweet..♡ "
Leviathan
"I'm still trying to get closer to Levi, I think the pact we made is a good start to a nice friendship? He's kind of hard to get along with, but I'm sure he'll open up eventually! I'll keep trying to get into more anime and be extra nice to him! Looking forward to playing videogames together one day. The day of the competition though..When he turned into his demon form and tried to kill me..That was really scary, but I was kinda asking for it, right..? I'm grateful Lucifer saved me. At this point, I've had near death experiences twice in a row. I'm scared for the future, I might not be so lucky next time. But, I'm determined to go back when this all ends and see my parents, so no way I'm going to die here!"
Satan
"We're not that close yet, I'm trying to decide whether or not it's a good idea to trust him. The guy is as mysterious as a snake, I can't tell what he's plotting in his mind. But I know I need to be close to him somehow, how else am I going to make a pact with him? Anywho..he seems like the second most mature and smartest beside Lucifer. In that case, this will be harder than I thought."
Asmodeus
"For the Avatar of Lust..Asmo is really sweet, actually. I really like his company! And he's really good at doing his make-up, maybe he can give me some tips? I'm positive we can get along really well, as far as I've seen he's really such a sweetheart!"
Beelzebub
"Honestly, I think he's another one of my favorite people here. He just..reminds me so much of Kuro..
...
Beel is really sweet..For some reason it breaks my heart when he says "I'm hungry" everytime. I don't want him to starve, even though he's just like that because he's the Avatar of Gluttony. I make sure to share every snack I get with him, I know he'll appreciate that a lot. Being in his presence makes me feel like Kuro is still here with me..heh.."
Belphegor
"Hmph..I'm genuinely not surprised to hear about how he got locked up there, knowing how Lucifer is. I am determined to help him, he deserves better than this. And Beel deserves to see his twin again, it's unfair for them to be separated like this. Sometimes I wonder if Lucifer ever thinks about the happiness of his younger siblings. Because this isn't what older brothers are supposed to do. I hope he learns his mistake once Belphegor talks to him..I'd really love to see all the brothers get along like true siblings, and actually show respect to eachother. I trust Belphegor, I think he knows what he's doing.."
Barbatos
"I don't really have much of an opinion on him, unfortunately..- We haven't interacted much. I hope it's okay to trust him."
Simeon
"He's really friendly, and our interactions have gone pretty well! He seems to be fond of me, a lot. But despite that, he's also got this mysterious aura..I'm not sure if I'm just being paranoid or my instincts are right. Guess I'll stick around and find out."
Luke
"He's really adorable, and very much talkative..A little too talkative..But hey, that's okay. I know he's a reliable kid, and trustworthy for all the matter! I'm just a human, but I'm going to protect him and try to be there as much as I can. To me, he's already like a little brother! I adore him a lot"
Solomon
"Something about Solomon feels rather off, if you ask me..I'm glad I'm not the only human here but..I wonder if it's okay for me to trust him? Though, our friendship so far is going pretty well. Then..maybe I'm just being paranoid. Come on, Makoto, keep up the positivity! Me and Solomon make a good duo, I'm glad about that! When we go back to earth, will we still be friends I wonder..?"
..........................................................˚ʚ♡ɞ˚.........................................................
Fun facts:
-Makoto's mother is a paranormal investigator, and her father is a private detective. She learned a few things from the both of them, and this is the reason she shows interest in mysteries and haunted places.
TW TW TW TW TW!! TW FOR MENTION OF SCHOOL SHOOTING AND DEATH
You have been warned!
-Makoto had a little brother, 4 years younger than her. His name was Kuro. Sadly, the school Makoto and Kuro attended was suddenly shot one day. While they were trying to escape, a masked man found them and pointed his gun at the children. Kuro stepped in to protect his older sister and got shot in the head, and another time in the stomach. Makoto got shot in the stomach. Before the man could shoot Makoto a second time, three policeman had surrounded the man and arrested him.
The injured kids were taken to the hospital immediately. Makoto survived, but Kuro didn't make it. The Gushiken family was devastated, but Makoto struggled the most. Her parents took her to therapy, also taking the opportunity to get some therapy themselves. The homelife wasn't going well ever since Kuro's death. Makoto's mother started to drink, and her father tried to make his wife snap out of it by reminding her the tension in the house wasn't good for Makoto.
Makoto's mom soon found healthier ways to cope with the grief.
-Yes. Yes, Makoto does *like* like Mammon.
-Makoto is a fan of manga and small figurines, as well as telenovelas.
-She cares a lot about her looks, taking her time to style her hair and do her make-up. She likes staying pretty ♡
-Kuro used to ask his sister for food when their parents were too busy, so Makoto would make him snacks. She gets reminded of that bittersweet memory when she makes snacks or buys candy and shares them with Beel.
-Makoto always wanted to learn to play the piano. The piano is her favorite instrument.
-She's really, really touch starved. She wants to be hugged constantly and cuddle with someone, but is a little too shy to ask.
-Mako has stomach rolls, the baby is really insecure about them :(

Happy birthday @innytoes!!!
This fic is based on the post you made that got me to ship RayReggie in the first place. I wrote this fic to honor the shenanigans the post led to. Thank you for being my friend and indulging my ideas. You’re such a creative and supportive person, and I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate your birthday.
“Help me propose to Julie.”
Reggie was stoked that Luke was getting engaged. Julie was the best, which was reason enough to be excited, but it also meant that Reggie would get the chance to be the best best man in the history of best men (Bobby and Alex were more than happy to let Reggie be best man because he was so excited about it). Reggie was going to knock the whole best man thing out of the park.
You know, after Luke proposed and all of that.
Luke wrote a song for her because of course he did. He was Luke. He showed it to Reggie and got his input, and Reggie was touched that Luke trusted him enough as a musician to workshop his proposal song with him. He also asked for Reggie’s help to plan the location, day, and time.
“Shouldn’t you coordinate that with Julie?” Reggie asked.
“I need you to be there too. Her family is going to want pictures, especially her aunt. She’s already been hinting about it.”
“So, you want me to creepily hide in the bushes and take photos of you proposing?”
“Yes?” Luke said, sounding unsure now that Reggie phrased it like that.
Reggie shrugged, smiling. “Sure, sounds fun!” Then he got an idea. “Actually, do you want a professional photographer to do it?”
“I don’t really want to pay a stranger to creepily hide in the bushes and take pictures of me.”
“You don’t have to pay a stranger,” Reggie clarified. “I know a guy who will do it for free.” He started fidgeting with his fingers. “I’m actually, kind of, dating a guy who will do it for free.”
Reggie hadn’t told the band about Ray. It was just easier that way. Alex already teased him about his Daddy Thing without knowing that his boyfriend was a silver fox, and he didn’t want to subject Ray to the shovel talk Luke and Bobby would most certainly give him. He liked him—loved him—too much for that. (And besides, Ray had also yet to introduce Reggie to his adult children, so they were, like, mutually hiding each other from the people in their lives.)
But recently, he’d been trying to figure out how to bring it up. Their relationship was getting more serious, and they were thinking about moving in together, and he couldn’t just say to the guys one day, “Hey, I’m moving out so I can live with a guy you’ve never met and who I’ve never even mentioned until now, okay bye!”
Luckily, the perfect opportunity had fallen into his lap. Luke needed a photographer. And Ray was a photographer. Luke couldn’t say anything negative about Ray or their relationship if Ray was doing something nice for him. Plus, Luke would get some awesome shots of the proposal, so it was a win-win.
Luke’s face lit up. “Wait, since when are you dating someone?”
“A little while,” Reggie said, unwilling to go into details just yet. “But he’s a professional photographer, and he’d definitely help us out if I asked.”
“Sweet! Let me know when he’s available!”
That was how Reggie found himself anxiously waiting for Luke with Ray at the agreed-upon location so they could go over the plan before Julie showed up.
Ray must have noticed that Reggie was nervous because he took Reggie’s hand. “It’s going to be okay. Your friends sound like lovely people. I’m sure it will go just fine.”
“You’re not nervous at all?”
“Maybe a little. It helps that I have my camera and reason to be here besides just meeting your friend and his fiancé as your boyfriend.”
“They’re not engaged yet. He still has to propose, remember?”
“Of course.”
Reggie spotted Luke as he rounded the hedge that Reggie and Ray would be hiding behind, and he waved him over. “Hey!” He pointed at Ray. “This is—”
“Mr. Molina?!” Luke’s eyes were wide.
“Luke?” Ray said.
Reggie glanced between them as he realized that they recognized each other. “Oh. You two know each other?”
“Better question:” Luke said, “you’re dating my girlfriend’s dad?”
Reggie processed Luke’s words and said, “Wait, your Julie,” he pointed at Luke, “and your Julie” he pointed at Ray, “are the same Julie???”
“Hold on,” Ray said, “You knew Luke was dating someone named Julie, and you knew my daughter’s name is Julie, and you didn’t put that together?”
“There’s a lot of Julies in LA! I could say the same thing about how you never figured out that my Luke and Julie’s Luke are the same Luke!”
Ray stared off into space as he processed that. “You’re right.”
Holy shit, Reggie was dating the father of his best friend’s fiancé (soon-to-be-fiancé, but still). He’d met Julie, just not as Ray’s daughter. That meant that if he and Ray got married, he’d be Julie’s stepdad. And by extension, after Julie and Luke got married, he’d be Luke’s stepfather-in-law, even though Luke was older than him.
It was that—the idea of being the stepfather-in-law to his best friend who was older than him—that broke him.
It started with a snort that descended into a fit of hysterical giggles. As Reggie practically doubled over, holding Ray’s hand for all he was worth in an attempt to keep himself upright, Luke said, “I think we broke him.” Which of course only made Reggie laugh harder.
“Just give him a minute,” Ray said back. “He’ll settle down.”
When Reggie could breathe again, he wiped the tears from his eyes. “Sorry, this is just… too weird.”
“Oh, it’s too weird for you?” Luke said. “I just found out that my best friend is dating my girlfriend’s dad!”
Ray added, “And I just found out that my boyfriend is friends with my future son-in-law.”
“Yeah, I think we can all agree that this is super weird,” Luke said, “but anyway, thank you for helping us, Mr. Molina.”
“Luke, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Ray?”
“At least one more,” Reggie quipped before they started discussing logistics.
The proposal went off without a hitch. Everyone cried when Luke performed his song for Julie, and Ray managed to get some amazing shots to show Julie’s aunt later. Julie only stared off into space for a few minutes when she learned about her dad’s relationship with her fiancé’s best friend, so that was a win.
And when Luke and Reggie told Alex and Bobby about the whole thing later? They made him sign a contract saying he was only allowed one dad joke per year with the penalty that he wouldn’t get to be best man. Reggie happily signed it knowing that after the wedding, once he had already been best man, it would be open season on the dad jokes.
And he already knew the perfect opportunity for the first one: his best man speech.

with the last chapter posting tomorrow, i'm yeeting my playlist for something to believe in right here! song choice/reasoning's under the cut. most of it is simple plan bc thats kinda the sound i built the story around. i wanted something a little edgy, a little prickly, a little 2000s (but ultimately not too hardcore)
(some spoilers under the cut for story beats kjfnjskgsd)
playlist here!
anyway, song reasonings
young the giant- something to believe in: eyyy, its song i named the fic after, and the theme for the fic! a bunch of the core themes come from here. mainly the idea of being given 'something to believe in' obviously fkjnsjd, like luke learning to open up and believe in and trust others again, his mum learning to believe in him, being a "slave to your mind". plus 'tragedy has a hold of my mind, but i can see the light between the lines' really fits luke once he befriends arven.
sleeping at last-eight: luke's overall theme. i dont think a single song sums up his journey better. its about someone who has clearly closed themself over very guardedly to avoid getting hurt, with a lot of motifs of brokenness. as the song goes on the subject learns to open up, be vulnerable, and becomes stronger as a result. all the lyrics are perfect, i particularly enjoy 'now i'm a broken mirror' 'i'm standing guard, i'm falling apart' i am strong enough, to let you in' 'im shattered porcelain, glued back together again'
simple plan- i'm just a kid: a good moody one that sets up his general demeanour at the start of the fic. 'i'm just a kid and life is a nightmare' 'what the fuck is wrong with me, dont fit in with anybody'
simple plan- you don't mean anything: early story, dealing with nemona and feeling isolated and distant and frustrated about it. 'I know you think you know me, you don't know anything'
simple plan- welcome to my life: early treasure hunt dealing with the first titan/base/gyms. the kids very disgruntled an not in a fantastc place. 'Are you sick of everyone around, with the big fake smiles and stupid lies, while deep inside you're bleedin'
simple plan- me against the world: song for the big low point, one i think he identifies with a lot i think. harsh, edgy, and pained. defiant, snarled spiteful yelling. 'i'm a nightmare, a disaster, that's what they always said, i'm a lost cause, not a hero, but I'll make it on my own'
simple plan- fire in my heart: song for the moment arven wakes the kid back up and pulls him out of that depression slump and back to earth by explaining the whole mabo situation to him. upbeat, not edgy. 'i bet you didn't know, you started up a chain reaction'
simple plan- everytime: theme for the boys, at least, from luke's pov. the song has a sort of melancholy and longing to it (heck, the lyrics imply the singer is talking about a past relationship) but i think thats the lens he'd view this developing relationship through anyway. 'every time I see your face, every time you look my way, it's like it all falls into place, everything feels right'
owl city- bird and the worm: representing arvens music taste and also luke branching out and connectign with his friend. listening to each others songs and sharing their hobbies. song is sweet and upbeat and a little romantic. 'swirl me around your room with feeling, and as we twirl, the glow in the dark stars on your ceiling, will shine for us'
simple plan- gone too soon: luke opening up about the death of his dad. the song fits how he feels about it all. a lot more subdued than most of the simple plan ones. 'oh I miss you now, i wish you could see, just how much your memory, will always mean to me'
pokemon- area zero: we know why this is here >:] theme for the kids going down into the crater.
simple plan- holding on: latter half of the crater, the quiet talk in research station four, and parts of the climax. mainly here for 'in the night there's a fire in my eyes, and this paradise has become a place we've come to cry'
simple plan- take my hand: aftermath, luke and arven kinda sticking together as the latter tries to navigate his grief. the song is a lot more upbeat, but i see it as almost like...determination on luke's part, to be there for him. its a good song for them in general too actually. splashes of romance since he's aware of his feelings now. 'take my hand tonight, let's not think about tomorrow'
simple plan- last one standing: song for luke's fight with the other miraidon and resolve to finish his pokedex. defiant, confident and reckless. 'did you think that I would surrender easily, that just like that, you were getting rid of me'
simple plan- when i'm gone: this song is an interesting one. its unanimously turo's theme for me, but also luke's in his worst moments.(parallels, narrative foils, all that) like when he recklessly explores area zero by himself to finish his pokedex. 'another day, another casualty, but that won't happen to me'
simple plan- promise: luke coming clean to arven, panicked but resolved to fix this. a little fast paced, scattered, but still determined. 'i promise, i won't let you down (you down), if you take my hand tonight'
ed sheeran- celestial: BOO ed sheeran jumpscare. gkjngjkds no but seriously i did really like this one as a credits theme. the space theme still doesnt really fit the game or story, but i cant resist 'you make me feel like my troubled heart is a million miles away'. like what a great summary of how luke feels now that he has friends, his mum, and his pokemon by his side.
