[deoidesign]

Someone killed my boss last night and he sent me this I'm so fired

god I can't wait to make this comic.

[thatwildwolfwrites]

I really need to start a new shakarian longfic, I feel like it's just how I feel alive. I need it like air. (but also so I can have something to procrastinate on by writing one shots.)

i can almost guarantee ive said it before but. he would thrive in a zero escape game

[chesters-ocs]

okay. this is the last part (or 2nd to last if we count the epilogue (if whatever im planning on even counts as such))

wc: 1.2k

It seemed like weeks went by as Lucifer II poured over ancient texts in tongues almost forgotten by time itself, searching for a safe way to extract the soul.

Yet, in the end, they settled on their first idea.

The two reigning demons of the kingdom deemed it best that Adam is put back into the amulet, so he can hopefully aid with getting the trapped soul out.

Lucifer II was clearly hesitant on the matter, always being so careful with the soul of his beloved, but alas, this is the price he must pay for being the more proficient one at magic between the two.

He watched as the body went limp, soul quite literally leaving his eyes before him, when the chant came to a close, his energy sapping just a little. Nothing he won't recover from. It's a minor spell at best.

"I will protect you, don't you worry, my king. I shall get you both out," he vows to himself, never once leaving the ever-so fragile vessel of the fellow king.

Speaking of which...

Adam opened his eyes to find himself under a grand oak tree. Like he always did, when coming to this little realm.

The bright, toothy smile greeting him was also one he had grown accustomed to.

The girl had been sitting on his chest, her legs crossed.

"You're back!"

He smiled at her.

"I'm back! And are you gonna let me sit up, little lady?"

The girl moved off him, bare feet once more on the grassy field. The weather nothing more than pleasant, with a handful of clouds dotted around the sky.

Not much lied beyond the prairie. In fact, this world was only prairie fields. The proud oak tree being its one and only landmark.

Slowly, elegantly, he rose, leaning against the tree, ruffling the girl's hair.

"What have you been up to, hm?"

"I've been organizing!"

"Oh? Care to show me?"

With a firm nod, she scaled the tree, her bushy tail helping with balance, despite having done it millions of times. Literally millions, with how long she's been here. Little hands had long-since learned which branches to grab and how to pull her up.

Her walked-in path shows clearly in the way there's bark missing in a few spots

Leisurely, he followed her upwards into the little shack he helped her build centuries ago.

Not much has changed since the last time he was here a mere handful of weeks ago, but he took the time to look over every detail nonetheless.

Indeed, the shelves had been cleaned, plush dolls lined up neatly along the wall.

"Oh, even your bed is made," he comments, surprised, "I thought for sure I'd see that little nest of yours."

The girl shrugged, climbing onto his shoulders with ease, and he held her firmly in place. Sure, if she fell, no pain would be felt, but it'd make him feel horrible either way.

"I wanted to change things up! Does it look nice?"

"Of course if does, sweetpea. All that matters is that you like it. And say, do you want to hear about what I got up to?"

The excited and loud "YES!" surely would have scared off any birds, if such creatures existed here, and Adam chuckled, settling down on the rickety, but comfy, bed.

All it took was one glance in her direction for the girl to nestle into his side, staring up at him attentively, clinging onto every last word, ears forward in alertness.

In the other world, Lucifer II had diligently worked to track down the previous owner of the amulet.

The servant who opened the door quickly dropped to the floor in a deep bow, and let the king inside the family home of nobility.

It was evident in the way they flaunted their wealth. There was classy and then there was whatever he was looking at. The amount of gold which plated everything almost made him shield his eyes. Almost.

He spoke to one of the elder inhabitants, who seemed surprised at the name being requested of them.

Lucifer II almost regretted coming to the house, with how boring the conversations were. He could have fallen asleep while standing! Ridiculous.

But it did yield useful answers in the end. When still alive, one of their own had cast out said child. It would be a justified assumption to believe the amulet was somehow involved.

At least that gave him something to work with. Hopefully. The little quest turning into a full on investigation, leading him all the way to the land of the living, standing before a headstone of a corpse which refused to rot and decay.

Unfortunately, it would have been frowned upon to dig it up when others could see. So he opted to go the easy route.

With a snap of his fingers, the pale body of a little girl was laid on the floor of the study. Not even an autopsy or an embalming had been performed. Whoever buried her was in a rush and did not wish to waste a cent in the process.

At least it made the revival easier, and meant she could be returned to her rightful body.

Adam talked to the amulet which was once more in his hands.

"It'll feel a little weird, but I'll be right here. Nothing will hurt you."

A pulse of light shines.

"You ready?"

It pulses again.

That's all the confirmation Lucifer II needs, as he goes trough with the procedure. Before he's even fully done, the girl leaps into Adam's arms with a joyous shriek, causing a yelp from him.

The scream makes Lucifer II drop the crystal she was trapped in, shattering it. Strangely, he doesn't find himself getting upset at that, just watching the interaction unfold before him, as he takes a small sip of his beverage.

"Easy, easy, settle down, you're-"

"Supposed to be slow, I know, I know!" The girl finishes for him, yet shows absolutely no sign of following the advice, with the way her little claws almost shred his fur coat.

"And what are you supposed to do now?" Adam smirks, and gestures towards his husband.

The girl pauses, eyes following where he pointed to.

Adam can almost see when the dots connect, with how she perks up seconds later.

"OH! Yeah! Oh. Uhm... Thank you.... Mister king guy...?" she smiles shyly at the end, not knowing what to say

Adam stifles his laugh at how unsure she looks.

Lucifer II just smiles and nods, putting the cup down, and shoots a playful glare at the other demon in the room.

"You're most welcome, Diane. I do apologize that we took so long. And I am afraid you really are not supposed to be moving around this much, lest you hurt yourself."

Diane seems like she's about to protest, when Adam placates her.

"In the meanwhile, do you want to see your new room, princess? I'll carry you."

Lucifer II briefly glances at the shattered crystal, but opts to follow his husband and his daughter out the door.

They're more important.

Hm. I think the discomfort re: settling on a single gender for self-referral isn't solely a trans thing but also a plural thing

Real thing somebody said IRL today "the christmas tree in itself is from pagan culture so it doesnt count as religious"

Hello again, Friend! Your Love of Technology is Cool. Keep It up, My Guy! 💚

hello again :] and thank you!! i will

[todayisafridaynight]

The bento counter clip you shared is EXTREMELY funny (if it's not a glitch I'd love to try and trigger it), but I couldn't help notice the flower petal-shaped particles in Jo's "heat trail" for the first time. I somehow managed to overlook them until now.

RGGJo also has petals in his heat trail, and personally I've always liked to link it to the fact he canonically wears perfume. What if 7Jo wears a floral scent too...? Would be neat, given I can't tell which of them is supposed to be the one with the sensitive nose lol

Jo’s counter is actually a programmed thing from my understanding: he is meant to deflect regular/MPless attacks and items, but considering most people use exclusively special attacks at this point I reckon not a lot of people catch it (and as for items, you’re either using a rocket launcher/projectile or you’re too far for him to do... that LMAO). Still, it’s going to entertain me for a while the fact he CAN just cancel your healing

And I’m SO glad you noticed the petals too! I didn’t catch that they were a thing for RGGJo as well, but I thought they were a cute detail for Y7Jo when I first noticed them a while back! It’s especially sweet if we put it in the context of a reference to him and perfume :)

[wolfboywillgraham]

what if instead of monsters souls having different colours based on their traits(as in the human soul traits we see in the 6 souls) their magic colour is based on their trait? all monster souls are white but we do see some differences in coloured attacks, idk just food for thought

MWAHH enjoy reading !(ෆ˙ᵕ˙ෆ)♡

⋆｡‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧｡⋆

Xavier:

Oh you’re so adorable to him. He knows what you're capable of but he can't help but feel even more protective around you.

You’re like a fun size plushie that he can just cuddle with all day and night. He loves holding you in his arms because you just fit perfectly. If he could, he would shrink you just so he can keep you in his little pocket and have you travel around with him all day. Sometimes he'll use you as a pillow to rest his chin on your head while the two of you take a nap together.

He loves to rest his head on your lap whenever you’re sitting up, just so he can look up and admire your pretty face.

Whenever you two play video games or watch movies together, he loves pulling you into his lap, his chin resting gently on top of your head as his arms wrap around you

If you want to kiss him, you’ll have to tug on his clothing to give him a hint and usually he’ll lower himself for the kiss but sometimes he teases you, pretending not to understand your intentions. “Hm? What is it? Do you need anything?” He asks, feigning innocence as he watches you pout. Although knowing him, he can’t resist any longer. He leans down pressing a soft kiss to your lips as if he didn’t already know what exactly what you wanted

Whenever you two are out, Xavier always keeps his arm slinging around your waist, pulling you close. He’ll hold your hand firmly whenever you’re walking together, making sure you’re never swept away by the crowd.

Zayne:

Whether or not you two live together, he’ll make sure to install mirrors at your height and place your favorite snacks, utensils, and anything you might need on lower shelves or in drawers so you don’t have to bother getting a chair to reach things when he’s not around.

A small smile curls up on his lips when you compare your hands with his, admiring how big the difference was. He also melts every time your smaller arms wrap around him, your face buried in his chest as you fall asleep beside him. He likes knowing that you feel safe around him.

Whenever you two are out together, he’ll purposely slow his pace to match yours due to his long strides that make him walk faster.

Zayne is always aware of the space around you, keeping an eye for anything above you so nothing comes close to hitting your head.

Except a LOT of forehead kisses. He'll also dip his head down a lot just to kiss you. He also doesn’t mind leaning down to kiss you softly on the lips so you don’t have to strain yourself just to reach him. Whenever it was those deep, passionate kisses where his hands cradle your face, he can't help but smile at how small your head feels in his palm and how it fits so perfectly.

He also loves the way his clothing drapes off your body..which is why he can't let you wear his clothes often because he's worried he might lose control again

Rafayel:

Rafayel absolutely loves the height difference between you two. He’s tall and while some people are close to his height except you, you were so small compared to him.

Whenever you two take photos together, he leans down a little or bends his knees, even if you were wearing heels. He instinctively does it to make sure the height difference in the picture feels more balanced

Rafayel has a collection of really beautiful candid photos of you but also some of the most unflattering shots you can think of. He loves to capture moments from his height, taking photos of his camera looking down at you just to show how tall he is compared to you. It became your photo contact for a while.

You can already expect a lot of teasing from him. Whenever you attempt to kiss him, it only boosts his ego. He lets you make a few attempts, grinning smugly, “You reallllyy wanna kiss me that bad huh cutie?” With a playful smile, he’ll lean down, pressing a soft kiss to your lips.

Expect a lot of beach trips where you’ll use his towering height to shield yourself from the sun for the perfect cover. But don’t think you can get away without paying him back in kisses since he’ll be spending a lot of time with you tucked away behind him.

Whenever you two cuddle, he always gets to be the big spoon and relishes how his arms completely engulf you and loves it whenever you snuggle further into his arms. However anytime you ever want to try to be the big spoon, he’ll tease you, playfully whining about how he’s so cold.

Sylus:

Just like Zayne, he’ll install mirrors around the house so you can always catch a full view of your pretty face and body whenever you need too. But sometimes, he’ll purposely leave things on higher shelves, just so you can call him for help. Instead of him easily handing it to you, he’ll lift you up instead just because he wants to hold you.

He LOVES it when he finds you wearing his clothes. His shirts fit you like a dress sometimes and he purposely leaves the most comfiest ones out for you to wear. You’re practically drowning in his scent and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Sylus thinks it’s absolutely adorable and amusing whenever you try to kiss him, standing on your tippy toes and barely reaching his chin. So he’ll lower himself to you, gently guiding your chin to meet his gaze before pressing his soft lips to yours. If there was a chair nearby, he'd sit down, pulling you into his lap before gently pressing his lips to yours. Whenever you're a step ahead of him on the stairs, you're at the perfect height to turn around and surprise kiss him!

He loves to hold hands with you even though his large hands basically consume yours. The size difference never fails to amuse him and finds one of these physical traits of yours to be truly adorable

Whenever you're out together, he'll always have his hand resting on your lower back or he'll offer his arm for you to cling to or his hand for you to hold. He wants to make sure you're always close by his side.

Caleb:

expect teasing. A LOT of it. It makes sense why he calls you pipsqueak as your nickname.

Sometimes he’ll snatch things from you and hold it above his head just so he can get a kiss from you and watch you jump for it. “Aw what’s wrong? Can’t reach it pipsqueak? Maybe if you’d eaten your veggies when we were younger, you’d be tall enough by now.” He absolutely loves watching you get all flustered about it and he’ll laugh and comment on how cute you are.

Constant jokes of, “What was that pipsqueak? Couldn’t hear ya from down there.” With a teasing grin, he’ll lower himself just enough to meet your eyes, “There, now what were you saying?” His smirk would only deepen more if you got flustered, his warm breath brushing your skin.

Sometimes he’ll even rest his arm on top of your head just to tease you and just because it’s absolutely funny to see your reaction and besides..he misses you and the closeness you two once had.

However he knows when to you don’t want him to comment on your height and he can tell whenever the joke goes too far and knows when to stop

Caleb will NOT tolerate anyone calling you short, especially if it’s from a stranger. Whether it’s meant as a joke or even worse, a rude comment, they’d better sleep with one eye open. No one is getting away with disrespecting you

Have you ever found one of his weak spots? It’s whenever you look up at him with those pretty eyes, no puppy pouts face or anything, he’ll melt on the spot right there. Whatever you ask for, you can have it.

Occasionally he’ll ask if you can hop on his back whenever he’s going out for a run or whenever he does push-ups as if you were his personal weight to make his workouts a little more fun
