#his name will come to meeee it has toooo

[dervampireprince]

Cannot believe I haven’t seen anyone send you asks about that guilty priest audio (although I could’ve just missed it lol). I am so invested in that, that script was amazing! Are you planning on doing a follow up?

aaaaaaaa thank you for asking about him. so, i've mentioned this in the descriptions of those audios and in my patreon/discord that

yes, it's a series

while i'm using the photographs for the thumbnail instead of a drawing, he does actually have a canonical appearance that i do want to draw and i have a name on the tip of my tongue for him i'm so close to figuring it out. i'm just using photos rather than drawing because... well honestly the audios just do better on youtube when they have a photo, idk why, but original scenarios and characters i make with photos get way more views them my ocs that have drawings

(also only because you said script and so idk if you know because i'm very open about this, there is no script i improvise them. you might have just meant you liked the words and used the word script, but i felt the urge to correct in case people think there is actually a script somewhere)

Love confession from Akaza in an event

Hi! This one took me a while, I wasn't sure if it was a good idea. I still hope you'll like it♡

So basically Y/N gets invited to an event where Akaza Human is also invited (I decided to call him Hakuji since he's a human in this oneshot) And after they get close, they confess their feelings to each other~

First, sorry if Akaza is a bit OOC, It is what it is, and second, yes I know, you'll read Daki is called Daki, not Ume, but I prefer to call her Daki even though she is a human ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Precisions: female reader; everyone is human; modern AU

Tonight's the night. The Y/N’s best friend's hard work has finally paid off with the grand opening of Hotel Mue. Y/N was an essential part of the hotel's creation, so she should at least show up. Their friend group also greatly helped, and they will all be in attendance. The pressure's at an all-time high as some major business figures and collaborators who believed in them will be attending the ceremony. She sighs in relief that she won't be the one having to entertain them.

Y/N prepares and wears the dazzling dress she chose several weeks ago. She's a huge fan of elegant events, although she rarely has the opportunity to attend them. For multiple reasons: the opportunity to wear a long evening dress, red lipstick makeup, the buffet, the music, the lavishly decorated hall... Y/N can't help but smile at just the thought of it. She leaves her home without forgetting the gift and bouquet of flowers destined for her best friend.

___________________________

On arrival at the hotel, she is greeted by the gatekeeper and walks towards the main room. The door is already wide open, and she can already see inside. There are too many people. Way too many... She barely knows half of them.

???: AAAAAHHH Y/N!!!

As her name echoes in the room, she looks to the right and sees her favorite friend arriving quickly in front of her with a smile. Y/N gasps at the sight. Seeing Daki this gorgeous makes Y/N realize all the efforts she has put in. She has put on a dress worthy of a host, after all, it's her who's the star tonight... Daki opens her arms and embraces her friend, who does the same.

Y/N: Daki you're so beautiful!

Daki: Aawww you toooo!!!!

Y/N: I'm literally so proud of you right now...

Daki laughs and pretends to kiss Y/N's cheek, not wanting to stain her face with her lipstick. Daki looks down and smiles at the sight of the gifts.

Daki: My darling, you shouldn't have... thank you…

Y/N: Of course I should have...

Daki: I'm going to put them with the others... Still, I told you you'd done enough already…

Daki takes Y/N's gifts. They both look around and admire the hall together.

Y/N: I'm guessing you're busy right now?

Daki: Indeed, I need to interact with the other guests... Oh! While we're at it! He's here you know?

She says that while nudging Y/N with her elbow.

Y/N: Yes, He is...

Daki: You know what you need to do, huh?

Y/N: He probably has other things in mind.

Daki: Not at all! I had to negotiate like crazy to get him to come here, so take advantage of this.

Y/N: Ah, poor thing... You shouldn't force people.

Daki: Wait, wait, it's when I told him you were coming that he changed his mind!

Y/N: *surprised* Wait, what?

Daki: Yeahhhh... Let's see... He's over there... Look!

Y/N's heart starts beating faster. She looks in the direction of her crush. There he is. Hakuji wearing a navy blue suit... And he's way too freaking handsome! She can only see the back of him from where she is, but damn he's so beautiful! He's talking with Doma... Daki looks at Y/N with a smirk.

Daki: Go say hi or something... I have to go anyway.

Y/N: What, already? No please... Stay with meeee~~~

Daki: Mmmhh...Nah 😜

Y/N: *chuckles* Wow...

Daki: Have fun... with him... ;)

Daki smiles and waves goodbye as she heads out as quickly as she came, leaving Y/N with a sigh, disheartened. It's true she could go for Hakuji but she regrets not being able to have Daki for longer. There's nothing left to do but go ahead and join the others. As she heads to meet Hakuji, she wonders how everything will unfold.

Doma was laughing when he realized a gorgeous woman was heading in their direction. He couldn't help but gasp and cover his mouth in surprise. Hakuji turns around to see what caused the reaction and is surprised when he sees Y/N.

Doma: AAAAAH look who it is!

Y/N: Well, yes, it's me~~

Doma hugs her affectionately and tells her she is incredible. But Y/N's attention is already focused on Hakuji, who is trying not to show what he thinks at that very moment. Y/N lets go of Doma and goes to greet the man of her heart by hugging him too, not to her dislike…

Y/N: Hi you...

Hakuji: Good evening, Y/N...

Doma watches with his hands on his hips, making a mischievous look. Y/N sits with them at their table and they chat, laugh, and enjoy the buffet... and Doma keeps looking at his watch more and more.

Doma: Hey guys, I have to go now. I'm supposed to speak to somebody, and he’s going to arrive soon.

Hakuji: Really? You didn't tell me about that... Who is it?

Doma: Oh... I don't really know him personally, I have to talk to him about some business stuff… Well anyway, I’m off!

Doma heads quickly towards the exit. He turns around to see his two friends confused to see him leaving so quickly, and reassures them by sending them a flying kiss. Y/N laughs and waved goodbye while Hakuji sighs, amused.

Y/N: Well, it's just us two now...

Hakuji: Indeed... It sure came suddenly.

Y/N: Did you know what he was talking about?

Hakuji: Not at all.

Y/N: ...

A silence settles between them. Y/N looks at Hakuji, who avoids her gaze. She takes a sip of her drink without taking her eyes off him.

Hakuji: There are more and more people.

Y/N: I really didn't expect there to be this many people here, Daki really shines here, huh? *smiles*

Hakuji: *chuckles* Well, at least she has you for support.

Y/N: ...

Hakuji: ?

Y/N: You also have me as support, you know?

Y/N said it while looking elsewhere while Hakuji loosened his tie a bit, suddenly feeling hot.

Hakuji: Really?

Y/N: *nods* Mhm...

Hakuji: You won't be upset if I tell you how I feel then?

Y/N's eyes turn to Hakuji. Is this what she thinks? She doesn't reply and waits for him to continue.

Hakuji: The crowd is certainly huge and a quiet place would be certainly preferable.

Oh... What is he saying? Is he also trying to make a move?

Y/N: Is that really what you were thinking?

Hakuji: Y-Yes! Uh… What else…

Y/N: Then, we should go upstairs…

Hakuji: Upstairs… Isn't it closed?

Y/N: Nobody knows we are allowed to go there and it's better if it stays that way, right?

Y/N sets her drink on the table and gets up. She waits for Hakuji while smiling as he looks at her.

Y/N: Come on, let's go.

He collects himself and gets up as well. They try to get through the guests and avoid stepping on the ladies' dresses on their way out.

They go upstairs and stop for a moment to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere as they take in the surrounding ambiance. The atmosphere is more peaceful, only illuminated by the light coming from the ground floor. Several hallways await them, and Y/N dares to touch Hakuji's hand to signal for him to follow her.

They walk down the middle corridor slowly, which leads to several closed rooms.

Y/N: You're right, this quiet atmosphere feels good.

Hakuji: Mhm.

Their hearts are beating fast. The fact that they walk together like this creates an intimate atmosphere, it's exciting and yet makes them nervous at the same time.

Hakuji: Where exactly are you taking me?

Y/N: You'll see...

A golden door is located at the end of the corridor. Y/N draws near and opens it, then Hakuji follows behind. It turns out it leads to a balcony, a sort of patio. The flooring is made of marble tiles, there are chairs and small tables to the left and of course, the railing every balcony has. Everything is beautifully adorned in golden colors.

Hakuji: I wonder where she got the money to fund all this.

Y/N: It's better that you don't know...

They both laugh and end the walk by leaning on the railing. It's dark outside, fairly cool, and the usual sounds of the city blend in with the refined music coming from the ground floor. However, a notification from Y/N's phone breaks the silence. She directs her attention towards the device. Daki? Is she not busy? She opens the message.

"I can't see you anymore"

"I know I told you to have fun, but I hope you guys are not going all crazy in my hotel???"

Y/N's eyes widen and she glances to the right to make sure her crush hasn't seen what this witch has just written. Thankfully, he was looking at the sky. But sensing Y/N's gaze, he looks at her with a curious look. Y/N turns off her phone and smiles reassuringly at him.

Hakuji glances at the city now. He enjoys the fresh breeze that contrasts with the stuffy heat of the grand hall. Y/N glances at the stars. She enjoys the comfortable moonlight more than the artificial lamps.

Hakuji: Thank you for bringing me here.

Y/N: Thanks for suggesting it.

Hakuji smiles and runs his hand through his hair.

Y/N: So... apart from the crowd... do you like the party?

Hakuji: Yeah, it's a very successful event…

Y/N: Daki told me it required some effort to get you to come

Hakuji: She really said that to you...?

He takes a moment to ponder and fidgets with his thumbs.

Hakuji: Did she say anything else?

Y/N prefers to play dumb. If anything were to happen that night, she wants it to be natural.

Y/N: No she didn't...

As time passes, they discuss anything and everything.

Y/N: The view is beautiful indeed… It's truly splendid.

Hakuji: Yes, especially at night…

While they weren't present, a lot was going on downstairs: tastings of cakes or other small events. But neither of these young lovebirds wanted to participate in those small events and preferred staying here and feeling this deep sense of intimacy with each other. However, the next part of the party would be of interest to them, as the genre of music has changed, giving way to softer tunes.

Hakuji: Y-Y/N!

Y/N: Y-Yes?

Hakuji: L-Let me invite you to dance!

Hakuji seems determined. He had to grasp the opportunity, even if he seemed somewhat embarrassed. Y/N's breathing begins to become heavy and her cheeks start to get somewhat rosy. With a trembling hand, she places her hand in the one Hakuji had offered to invite her. How could she say no?

Y/N: I would love to...

Hakuji can hardly believe it. He swallows and leads her away from the railing for better freedom of movement. He waits until Y/N makes the first step by placing her left hand on his shoulder, which will give him the signal that she's comfortable with that kind of physical contact. He takes her hand and gently caresses her waist. Y/N can't stop glancing at him. If there was one thing she fantasized about, it was Hakuji's hands.

Hakuji: Tell me if anything disturbs you…

Y/N: Mhm...

Their slow and gentle swaying begins, and the volume of music is very low and soothing from where they can hear it. They can hear each other's breathing if they concentrate on them, which they both do. There is no one else who deserves either of their attentions right now.

They no longer dare speak, their acts are already quite loud. Y/N tries to lace her fingers with Hakuji's and he caresses hers with his thumb. If they refused to see that there was an ambiguity between them up until now, they could no longer deny it. Hakuji was a blushing mess. A few minutes pass in silence.

Hakuji: It feels... good to do this... with you.

Y/N is shocked. It was direct. She closes her eyes for a short moment to be re-collected. Then she gently lets go of Hakuji's hand, places her hands behind her neck and entangles her fingers. He reacts instinctively by placing both his hands behind her lower back. The change in position was so natural, it seemed as if one knew what the other would do.

Y/N closes her eyes feeling Hakuji's arms embrace her body. He presses his nose into her neck while she caresses his nape.

Hakuji: *quietly* I'm sorry for not telling you this sooner, but you're beautiful...

Y/N: *whispers* Thank you...

They have both heated up. They disengaged their embraces to gaze into each other's eyes for a moment. Hakuji caresses Y/N's chin between his thumb and index finger and she understands what is about to happen. The moment she has been waiting for, the one that will solidify their feelings for each other.

Hakuji breathes heavily and moves his thumb towards Y/N's lower lip for a soft pressure.

Y/N: *whispers* Come on, don't tease me like that...

Hakuji smiles slightly and wipes away the space between them. He leans in and gently places his lips on hers as Y/N closes her eyes and sinks into his touch. She tightens her embrace around his waist while their kiss becomes more and more passionate. It seems like she wants more from him... She starts nibbling on his lower lip, which causes him to moan, and he responds by running his hand over her ear and cheek.

They reluctantly separate to catch their breath. Still in each other's embrace, they breathe heavily and their cheeks are warm and beautifully tinted with red.

Hakuji: Y/N, I... I'm in love with you...

Y/N, moved, embraces him tightly and lays her head on his chest. Hakuji caresses her cheek and holds her closely in a protective manner.

Y/N: I-I love you too...

She shuts her eyes to focus on his heartbeat as he lays his cheek on her head. He can't help but bite his lip upon hearing her sweet declaration.

Hakuji: I'm so happy right now...

Y/N glances up and places her chin on Hakuji's chest to get a better look at him. He looks back at her, still flustered.

Y/N: Are you okay?

Hakuji: Yes, I'm okay. Are you okay?

Y/N: Yes I am...

Hakuji: ...

Y/N: ?

Hakuji: Do you want to stay here?

Y/N: Do you want to leave?

Hakuji: I have my mind elsewhere... *chuckles*

Y/N: Well, same. But Daki is probably going to be mad at me for leaving her party...

Exactly at the moment when Y/N finishes her sentence, she gets a second message from Daki. She opens it up and Hakuji tries to get a peek. They both let out an audible gasp after reading it.

"Nah, I don't care :)"

A witch.

Ka-Kacchan 😫💦 (Bakugouwu x reader SMUT 🤯)

Author-chan here!!!!!! I decided to write for my bb Kacchan bc hes just such a cutie >.< hehe anyways ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I walked into the hero association with my long Blonde hair flowing in the wind. “SARAH!!” Deku called, walking over to me. “Baka-Deku, what do you wabt?” I asked, making a cute face. “I heard Kacchan wants youuuuu” he said raising his green puffy eyebrows. “Ka-Kacchan?? Why.. why would he ever want me?” I asked, batting my bright blue eyes in his directuon. “I do not know Sara-chan” he answered, blushing bright red. “I think… he might have a crush on you” I GASPED!! (author’s note: UwU OMGGG IT’S GETTING ~SPICYYYY~) I smiled sweetly at deku before hopping over to Bakugou, flipping my hair over m shoulder. “Ohio K-Kacchan, what do you want?” I said, trying to be tough. He glared at me pomeranian hair sticking up as I touched him. “NOTHING YOU BITCH!!” He yelled, shoving me. I started crying. “BAKA-KUGOU WHY DID YOU DO THAT????” I yelled. He lookd at me. “Idk you’re just ugly.” He said and walked away. I touched my frail wrist and realized it was broken. I went to the doctor’s and got it fixed, mad at Kacchan te whole way.

He put his pants over his meat scepter and grinned at me. “I hope you learned your lesson Baka-Sarah”.

The Best Good Parts of The Scarecrow

As according to me

After The Metal Opera concluded, Avantasia went more-or-less dormant for a while. But the story was far from over: 2008 blessed us with a new album, a new story, and a new direction. With a cleaner sound, a number of pop-aligned ballads, and a somewhat more serious tone, The Scarecrow marks the beginning of a new Avantasia era... the era of putting spooky skeletons on everything. Okay, okay, it’s the start of The Wicked Trilogy, baby!

Storyline: A Faustian tale about a very troubled musician, his desire to be loved, and the terrible lengths he’d go to achieve that.

Quick Notes:

As said before, The Wicked Trilogy sounds VERY different from The Metal Opera, so don’t be too surprised here.

The narrative style also takes an extreme departure from TMO: there are a LOT of characters who are only representations of concepts, thoughts, and emotions, working in vaguery and intuition. The Scarecrow is a little easier to follow than the next two in the trilogy, but you’ll see what I mean.

This is the first Avantasia album featuring both Jorn Lande and Amanda Somerville, who are series regulars in both touring and studio work - for a good reason, as you will soon hear.

This is the first Avantasia album with accompanying music videos, which are present in the below playlist.

As I’ve said before, I’ll say again: The Scarecrow is available on the official Avantasia YouTube channel, so listen up!

Twisted Mind

KHAAAAAAAN

This is the second Avantasia song I’d ever heard. I got really into it because “hey that sounds like the guy from Kamelot”...

The little pre-chorus “aaaaAAAAhhhh”s

Misprizing! Chastising! Subhuman, fragmentizing!

Sensation! Abbheration! Repulsive, TANTALIZING!

The Scarecrow

I haven’t said ICONIC in a while, so here’s one for the title track. Because it is Fucking Iconic.

The intro made me want to learn how to play the violin so I bought one off of eBay for $50 that is definitely a non-functional bootleg/prop. You can call that one a Hotz Fact ™.

WHEN THE LAMB’S BEEN TORN TO PIECES, I’LL BE CRASHING FROM THE SKY

“HE’S GOT TREASURE IN HIS EYES / THAT HE’S GONNA TURN TOOOO CLAAAAAAAY”

I’M A STRANGER, I’M A CHANGER, AND I’M DANGER, MAYBEEEEE

The Tobi/Jorn back-and-forth that continues from there

Jorn just giving ‘er after that

CONTRIIIITE TEAAAAAARS

“One day she’ll wonder why she had to let you disappear... OH DEAR—“

The whole outro

Shelter from the Rain

Kiske’s back!

This song is so clear and refreshing, it always makes me feel some kind of way.

Bob Catley returns for a cool little thing in the middle of the song.

Carry Me Over

Okay, I confess: I don’t have much to say about this one. It’s a good song, but it’s a pretty standard one and doesn’t go anywhere necessarily surprising. Still, give it a listen!

What Kind of Love

Get your tissues, we’ve got ourselves a Celine Dion breakup (er... kind of) ballad!

Featuring Amanda Somerville! Gotta love her!

The strings intro...mwah

Amanda’s like entire thing in the beginning

That Phil Collins-ass drum drop-in before the outro

Another Angel Down

“You’ve got the aura to enchant them in a symphony...and I’VE GOT THE POWAAAAAH”

“I’m breeding winners over theeere”

“IT’S TIME TO TAKE YOUR SHARE”

If you hadn’t already figured it out Jorn kicks ass here

The weird subtle distortions on Tobi’s voice in the second verse

WE ROCK THE BALL

The Toy Master

This is the first in a handful of “Sinister Theatrical Evil Guy” songs that  pop up on Avantasia albums. It is a WEIRDLY specific trope but it’s great

This one is ft. Alice Cooper, of all people

Creepy-ass ominous opening

“If only I had a heart it would break”

NO MORE STRUGGLE OF THE CLASSES

NO MORE STRUGGLE OF THE MASSES

Devil in the Belfry

The noodley guitar intro

CHUG-CHUGGAWUGCHUGCHUGGAWUGCHUG

I like the rhythm

“The curtain has fallen BEHOLD THE MESSIAH”

Guitars getting wild and crazy

Cry Just a Little

Less tragic than the previously mentioned fake violin fiasco, this song may be what gets me to try picking up my guitar again (it is a REAL guitar and not in fact a weird fake)

Great catchy soulful ballad ft. Bob Catley

“Oh cry... a LITTLE FOR MEEEE”

Something about a 6/8 time signature really does it for me

I Don’t Believe in Your Love

Notable for being the only Avantasia song allowed to say “fuck”

Oliver Hartmann, ladies and gents! You knew him as the Pope in TMO, now he is Darkness...or, uh, “Fornication”?... and he kills it

“Don’t give a damn for rooooseeees, oh no no no!”

“Of... AGONY and ECSTASY!”

If you need an angry breakup song, this is a good one

“BUT IT’S ALL EVIL!”

Olli’s additions over the outro... very good.

Lost in Space

This is the first Avantasia song I ever listened to, via the music video. It is straight up a pop song, and I was looking for metal, and yet the Energy managed to ensnare me from the get-go... it was destiny...

And that’s the Scarecrow - but it’s only the first act! Stay tuned for the drama, the heartbreak, the strings and the stings all yet to come!

(Doing the cast list I realized there are apparently two different versions of some character names, so I’m including them both.)

Like the Lotus, God speed.....

I became a mother at the fragile age of 21. I say fragile because Lord knows that at 21 I had no clue on how to take care of myself let alone another human. I remember calling my mother after I took the test and crying saying "Mom, someone is gonna be like mom Im hungry and Im gonna be like Meeee toooo". I didnt think I was ready but I felt that if God said I was, he would provide. Lotus Belle was born sep 21,2012; the spitting image of me. I named her Lotus because a Lotus is a flower which emerges from merky waters and blooms untainted and pure. The name means spiritual and mental purity and Belle because she would be, and is just that. A leader who stands out and is loved just for being herself. LOTUS BELLE. I couldnt believe that after that loooong summer pregnancy of swollen feet weird cravings and 75 extra pounds,the real journey had began and I couldnt put her back in my tummy and take a break. Maaaaaan look some people talk about the googly googly and yes I had plenty of those moments but I was fat lonely and a single parent living in my parents house at 21. I always joke that Lotus is so mature because I had real live conversations with her about life as a small baby. She was not only my baby but my bestfriend. I could feel her love and that kept me sane. Meanwhile my peers are graduating college and starting their lives as independent adults. I felt like my life was on hold. I was depressed. My mother instincts naturally jump into play reminding me that my life was no longer about me and I needed to get myself together not only for me but for my babygirl. Six weeks had past very quickly and I guess thats the time that the United states of these Americas think that we should be settled in as new parents and ready to get back in the work force. Well look here I wasnt ready and childcare wasnt no ho. Forreal forreal. $250 a week....$250 a week!!! Needless to say chilcare lasted 2 weeks, with my pay grade at Supercuts I was still in the hole.So I stopped working to take care of my baby full time.

I cried out to God "please Lord guide me. You promised me that you would never leave nor forsake me. You entrusted me with a child and I thank you but I dont know what to do". I looked at the clock and it read 3:33.... for those who are into numerology 3:33 is a message from the angels ensuring the God is with you and that he hears your prayers. I was comforted. I was able to scramble up enough money to buy a one way plane ticket to Niagara falls to live with my mom. I needed my mommy. I stayed there for 8months working at odd jobs like dennys, hotels and 7/11 convenience stores to provide for my lil one and I. While doing those jobs I really recognized how much I love the beauty industry. I couldnt wait to get back to work doing what I loved to do. Sep 20, 2013 I moved back to Atlanta. My retreat was over. Back at ground zero ....i had $250 to my name ,my baby and lots of ambition with no babysitter. I was yet again Depressed and broke. I cried out to God " Lord guide my steps. I have nothing but a gift from you and YOU thats it. I dont know what to do." It was one of those crys when you cant breath because snot done gatherd blocking the passage way and now ya head hurt. Lol I balled. Its kind of embarrassing once I think about how I looked at the time cause I know my hair wasnt done just wild. I looked at the clock and it read 2:22.

222 is a message from God that your prayers have been answerd. I felt comfort bt honestly I didnt see how they were answered because I was in the same boat to be real.

The next after noon I was online and so happend to come across a add that read organic wholesale products from Ghana. Then I heard BelleAmore Organic Beauty. At the bottom of the screen the time read 2:22 pm. I will never forget the feeling that I had. I never felt such excitement. I wanted to create natural products. I never done it before and I didnt know where to start but I knew that being that it was from God that it would work itself out like it always has.

It ALWAYS has.

To keep the name alive I provided hair services under the name BelleAmore Organic Beauty. I VOWED to trust God every step of the way, to be myself, show real love and to allow him to fight my battles but most of all trust in his perfect timing. GOD SPEED. Things may not always happend when we want or in the order that we think is best. Our plans may somtimes be delayed by our own mistakes or even things that are out of our own control. We may get weiry and stuck or tired. Hell we may get scared or let our own minds control our present in a negative way. We may feel like we dont deserve what our hearts desire or may not have the proper resources BUT please ,please trust and believe that "WE know in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called to his purpose." Romans 8:28. NO matter what it is it will be used to Glorify the most high. This is not to be religious or come off as if I have it all together because Lawd know he aint through with me yet lol. This is to encourage everyone that relationship with God, I AM, that still small voice within us is the comforter. The guide, the strength. We all face things on diffrent levels at diffrent times but one thing that remains the same is the availability of that connection. Plug in and have faith and know that like a Lotus you too can bloom out of murky waters pure and untainted and everything has its perfect timing GOD SPEED.

Blissful Hair and Body Cosmetics by BELLEAMORE ORGANIC BEAUTY will be available for purchase Febuary 2018.
