Where is my Drow barbie & my plans for the future:
I’m still alive! I’ve decided to go on a slight hiatus to develop some things behind the scenes. I’m coming into contact with a lot of conflicting ideas between like D&D canon & what i’m trying to build for A’byssel & its making my brain frown when I try to write. Originally, in his first iteration he was a bhaalspawn from the generation born before the time of troubles & after major retcons occurred, I never really sat down & actually patched the holes in the character I made. So hes more like a collage of everything which - I don’t hate it but Its a bit inconsistent & that drives me bananas. So I’m working on that.
To assist I’m also taking notes and building a server that doubles as my personal reference guide that has links to 1-5 E sources & guides that are cited in the channels where I break down certain aspects (like the houses, tenants, rituals, etc. pasting excerpts from the different editions to refer to.) It’s already helping me shape some things by giving me references, I do also want to include book excerpts but I have to tackle things one at a time.
That being said, when I feel ready to move forward its probably going to be another remake. This is partially because I love fresh starts, but that doesn’t mean I’ll discontinue threads. They’ll just be moving over to the shiny new account dw about that bit.
And regarding that shiny new account: Plotting is taking priority. I like to plot & have dynamics built out to better enrich writing & interactions. I hope to have more to offer when I smooth out abby’s wrinkles!
#ˊ 🕸️ ﹙ 𝘰𝘰𝘤. ﹚ ﹐#*that’s where i’m at rn#* mostly filling out my lil ref guide so i can wrap my brain around menzo & its 5 million layers of complexity#* I laughed when i read a 3.5 E source that talked about ‘ Drow marriages ‘ and how kids born out of wedlock arent shunned#* but u have a greater claim to the line of succession if youre from the married pair? like girl whut?#* Oh yes spider mum 100% wants her prized priestesses to be legally tied to the men#* the men that are regarded as walking meat yes lloth would totally endorse her priestesses ‘ punching down ‘

mimi i wud die for sum wrio incest ໒꒰ྀིっ˕ -。꒱ྀི১ i need nii-nii to punish his lil sis when she starts actin up and disobeying ૮꒰ྀི⸝⸝> . <⸝⸝꒱ྀིა
⋆⁺₊❅⋆ ᡣ𐭩ྀིྀི ₊˚ pairing ꒱ྀི wriothesley x fem reader — warnings ꒱ incest. fucking in leggings. calling your big brother daddy ? creampie. reader is described as small / 18+
i kept u waiting long enough and Im not sure but I may have strayed a witl bit from whut u said but still ! ! wrio-nii <3 muhehe . some icky thoughts and babbling below nonnie.
believe it or not wriothesley doesn’t necessarily enjoy punishing his little sister, but that doesn’t mean he’s opposed to it, especially if you’ve been seeking a less-than-innocent reaction out of him.
it crushes him to say it, but wriothesley knows that his chilling title as duke at the fortress of meropide doesn’t grant him the same freedoms as others. he’s an overseer, a self-appointed role that he carved himself. part of it is to maintain order; the other half is maybe to fulfill his own sentence and snuff out any remnants of the guilt he couldn’t shake off.
naturally, he’s a protector whose hands happen to be bloodied. if it meant guaranteeing the safety of his little sister, he’d fight his way through anything, even if it meant bruised skin and broken bones. to be at the fortress while you remained in the world above was, to say the least, hard, but he’s working around that obstacle.
its some days, like today ( though rare on occasion ) he takes a well-deserved break.
a long shower, a couple of hours in the at home gym to stay dedicated, and then he promises afterwards that he’s all yours. maybe a picnic, a stroll through the town, a shopping trip—whatever you set your sights on, he’d do it; he’d get it because he has the patience of a saint, but that just happened to be the one thing you lacked.
your attempts at seducing him were messily orchestrated. adorable, and innocent, and his cock strained against his sweatpants nonetheless.
wriothesley’s bare chest expands with each deep breath he takes, greedily sucking up the air to calm his lungs and beating heart after he drops his weight.
though away from the world below, he doesn’t stray from his regimen. even when darling little girls strut in loungewear not even appropriate enough to wear in their own homes, offer him water.
he downs it—gulps it incredibly fast and wipes the remnants of water that escape on the back of his hand. he sets the glass down, and he knows that water isn’t the only thing his body is aching for.
the clothes are practically second skin, your nipples are puffy and alert under your shirt from the air conditioning, and the leggings are tight enough to emphasize the chub of your lower lips.
“why are you lookin’ at me like that?”
it’s a silly question he doesn’t bother to answer.one foot behind the other, hands intertwined, you give him that a stare that reveals more than you let on. your tongue delicately swipes your bottom lip, and his eyes follow. he watches closely when your lips do that small bounce from the release of your teeth.
he wants to wipe that doe-eyed look off your face and rip the flimsy pants off. maybe even ruffle up your pretty pigtails, but you’d hate him if he did. yet, it’s only fair for him to tease in return, and wriothesley isn’t too keen on enforcing discipline. but if you want it so bad, he can’t see why he can’t be voracious just this once.
it takes him only a split second to wrangle your body to the floor and push your cheek into the plush mat. he’s pumped with adrenaline; his brute strength nearly knocks the wind out of you.
those fingers that you love so dearly trail down your hips and backside to finally press down on the seat of your leggings—right where your cunt sucked in the fabric. just two of his digits encompass the size of your heat, and they trace the sticky folds through the cloth. your grip on the mat tightens, bracing yourself for the inevitable.
he roughly rips open your leggings, the sudden exposure to air making you gasp. it’s a wide enough hole to display your plump ass and fat little pussy to his icy blues. such thick, succulent lips dressed in a thin layer of your slick that he wanted to lap up selfishly.
his large hand reels back and collides with the flesh of your butt watching it jiggle.
“hnn— !”
your body lurches forward on impact, and wriothesley flexes his thick arms to keep you still.
“shh, shh. s’okay.”
he rubs the fat of your butt briefly before landing another swift strike.
you squeal, “nii-nii! p-pleaseee !”
the arch in your back deepens, and wriothesley licks his lips in anticipation at your show of embarrassment.
“this is what you wanted, isn’t that right?”
he’s dizzy from the sight of your gaping cunt, and he can’t tell whether to spank it, fuck it, or kiss it first.
ultimately, he decides on spitting.
he puckers his lips, and a tiny glob lands right in the center of your pussy, and he eagerly stares as it disappears between your plump folds.
you flinch away reactively from the moist invasion, scrambling on the floor, but your brother overpowers you.
“come on, don’t run from me now, you little brat.” his hold on you tightens, forcing your ass higher up.
wriothesley begins to tug his pants down and pull out his heavy cock. it’s thick and drooling pre-cum from his wide tip, eager to empty his load inside your tiny hole. he gives it a few strokes and watches you wiggle your butt in excitement.
“put it in nii-nii. i'm so messy down there, so you don’t need’ta prep me. . .”
a manicured nail runs down your slit and separates your fold, and nothing but arousal webs across your twitchy cunt.
“fuck .”
you are messy.
you’re dripping and creaming, and he’s barely started. he takes his own thumbs to spread your lips apart further, like he couldn’t believe it himself. your vagina thumps erratically, pumping out a bubbly, clear fluid. the squelch is disgustingly loud, and he has to fight himself from collecting the salty drops with his tongue.
he whistles in agreement.
“would you look at that? i guess you’re right. this needy cunt can take my fat cock. ”
he's holding his breath when he presses it against your quivering center.
“i always thought you were too little to take it, but your pretty pussy is more than ready for me.”
he rubs the softness of your skin in awe.
you turn your neck slightly to give him a shy smile. “mhm, s’ only for you. . but,” you shake your hips again. “could you put it in, please?”
slick was now stuck between your thighs, staining your already ruined leggings, and you felt dirty, but not enough to overpower the desire to be fucked by your older brother. you were practically humping the air in utter want, but wriothesley doesn’t match your urgency.
“i’m trying, sweetie, but—” the duke makes no effort—he wipes his sloppy mushroom head on your clit, dragging it in messy circles.
“nii-nii is having trouble.”
his pre-cum frothed into a cloud coating your already wet lips, and he hisses when your pussy briefly twitches around his glans. he nudges your opening teasingly but doesn’t bother to push his way through the tight seam.
he shakes his head in faux remorse.
“see, i guess you’re still too little after all."
you throw a small fit, “that’s not true! i can take it!”
he chuckles at your pouting. the hold on your ass digs into your skin as a warning to not get so worked up.
"then what do you suppose we do?”
he spits again, but this time on his shaft, and he drags his hand up just enough for his foreskin to cup the crown of the flushed tip.
"jus’ ruin it—force your cock in. .”
and he didn’t need to be told again.
two beautiful holes, a tight little knot that he can’t wait to split apart one day, and a wet and fat pussy. was he even strong enough to tough it out a little longer?
he looks up towards the ceiling, muttering a brief prayer. you just might kill him, but he's more than ready.
the tight fist around his member squeezes until a thick drop of white plops against the floor. his balls firm and round flutter with every gasp of air you take. his body is in sync with yours, and as soon as his tip pushes against your opening, it stretches—coaxing in his meaty girth. he pushes all the way in until he's sure he can’t go any deeper, and then pulls back out. his cock shines with your wetness, and he takes a few seconds to marvel at where your groins meet.
without warning his hips to mount forward, and he fucks you with purpose—to teach a lesson.
his pace is far from what you predicted; it's much faster and filled with a vigor you weren’t used to. your big brother prefers to handle you with much more care, knowing that you're just a delicate little thing, but he trusts you’ll get used to it.
you proved time and time again to be adaptable, so you keep your ankles crossed and your face down, smushed into the floor, while he uses your body for his own end. his balls, warm and taut, spank your clit unabashedly, turning the screw inside of you. a ring of milk forms at the base of his cock, and the friction pulls noises out of you you didn’t think you were capable of making.
you move to crawl away and put some distance, but wriothesley doesn't let you.
“nah, be still; let nii-nii use you. that’s what little girls are supposed to do, right?”
he laughs, maybe even out of disbelief. each time he tries to convince himself that it will be the last, he still finds himself forcing his cock inside his cock-hungry little sister. and your moans only elevate in pitch as you get closer to that edge.
“yesssss. ah !—hn—you can use me as many times as you want. m'your little stress toy!”
wriothesley grunts loudly. the sound of your lustful proclamations rattling his very being.
“I'm your little girl. keep fuckin’ me, please, nii-nii.”
he doesn’t want to stop.
the recoil of your round ass from the impact of his thrust is a view too otherworldly for him to separate his eyes from. his body accumulates more sweat, and he continues to deliver those fucks that pushes you harder into the floor. your leggings, other than the gaping rip, were thoroughly obliterated, and the mixture of fluids made the fabric darker and stickier.
“! m’almost there, keep going nii-nii. . . s-so close !”
a foggy cloud slows the whirrs in his brain; all of his thinking ceases, and the only thing he can focus on is finishing inside you. to empty his large balls of his salty seed and pull out more of those choked sobs out.
“s’okay baby. relax . i got you.”
“hnn-! hiccup . mmkay ! i love you s’much."
“yeah, nii-nii loves you too, baby. don’t fucking forget it.”
"i won't, d-daddy.”
he stills only for a moment before continuing.
“daddy ? what are you talking about, silly girl?”
he snickers in between moans and claps of skin. did he fuck you that dumb already?
“I’m your brother princess, don’t tell me you forgot.”
you pulse around his cock.
“mhm, but you’re my daddy too.”
he rolls his eyes and smiles.
“i guess i have a pretty daughter to take care of now,” he says and he’s rewarded with your cute mewls and noises of happiness.
he’d kill for you.
again.
he’s a man free of guilt when he’s the closest to you, and it’s why he feels no shame when he delivers one last thrust and pumps your pussy full of his hot semen.
you welcome it, feeling it fill your belly and it takes few minutes for wriothesley to separate himself from you. the minute he pulls out is when he feels robbed of your warmth, he feels naked but satisfied. his cock layered with thick cum fell limp between his legs and he feels relief that his balls were no longer aching with cum ; it was instead leaking from your puffed cunny.
his hands reached out to touch your sensitive pussy, squeezing it to watch the dollops of his seed drip on the gym mat. your legs shake in desire and it’s when reality sinks in.
you didn’t finish and wriothesley makes no move to get you off. he smirks, he’s sure that this time his punishment will keep you in line.
although, only for a bit .

I really appreciate that Ace Week (formerly Asexual Awareness Week) is a thing. It's so very needed. I usually participate to celebrate/spread the word somehow.
But I'm so tired of the aphobes that inevitably turn up and spew their hate in the comments of Ace Week posts. I guess I live in a very accepting little bubble most of the time and then come Ace Week I'm reminded of how much hate there is out there.
Some of the things people say:
Asexual people just want to feel special. I.e. asexual people are just trenders.
Asexuality is not a real sexuality, these people just have a hormone imbalance or some sort of trauma.
Asexuality is gay erasure/homophobic. (Whut??)
Asexual people don't face the discrimination and persecution that LGBT people suffer. They don't need a flag or civil rights protection.
If you harbour any such acephobic opinions, or if you don't think aces belong in the LGBTQ community... either change your minds or get out. I don't want any aphobes or exclusionists in my space.

hii!! can I request cale with a s/o who's high on anaesthesia? like they see cale for the first time, and they're already rambling about how pretty he is– only to find out they're married!! to him!! she tells everyone (who is willing to listen) about her pretty husband and how she's lucky to have him^^ thank youu
We’re…Married?
[Authors Note]: Hi guys! I'm back into making Cale x Reader request! At least for the ones I have on my inbox, until I get out of the authors block I have for my Genshin series. PS. This request is back from July...
𝚆𝚘𝚛𝚍 𝙲𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚝: 735
»»►AWWWEE this is adorable. I want to keep it in a box and bury it 7 feet underneath.
»»►Okay, for this, I want it to stay in the fantasy setting since I don’t really like writing modern AUs. So, there will be some kind of herb that is used that has the same effect as anesthesia.
»»►As for why she had to take it. Let us say she had to get surgery for a broken bone she fractured because she ran and fell off a hill. Don’t ask me how this happened, because I don’t know either.
The sun’s rays shine through curtains, bringing light to the already dim room. They softly hit the face of a red-head that had fallen asleep on a chair instead of his warm bed.
The reason he hadn’t slept in his bed was for one small, lovable–his words not mine–dork he had grown to love; his wife: You.
And the only red-head who was insane enough to marry you was none other than Cale Hanituse.
Cale stared at your resting face with a neutral face. What else could he do, other than wait for his lovely wife to wake up?
Unbelievable… The moment I look away, she’s gone and clumsily stumbled down a mountain and off a cliff. Honestly, when will I get some rest from this girl? the man thought as he closed his eyes, getting irked at the memory of you falling off the cliff for the third time.
It was getting repetitive…and annoying.
“Hmmgh…” the sound of sheets shuffling made him open his eyes to see the movement.
“[Name]?” asked Cale. “Are you awake?” He gently leaned towards you to check. His hand moved away the messy hair on your forehead to get a better look. You slowly open your eyelids and see a handsome young man touching you.
“You’re awake… Took you long enough,” Cale said, still combing your hair straight.
You pushed his hand away. “..Don’T tOucH mE…I haVe a HusBaND…” you say with a growly voice.
Clearly, the herb that was used to sedate you was still in your system.
“[Name], stop. You’re still delirious and can’t differentiate what-for-what,” Cale tried to reason with you. But everyone knows that you can’t debate with someone that truly isn’t here.
“nO! yUO aRe An ImPOsTeR..!” You semi-yelled at him. “WhErE iS my HusBanD, yOu tHieF!”
Cale sighted at your idiocy. He found the way you argued rather adorable... Ahh, that’s beside the point!
“[Name],” he grabbed you by the shoulders to ground you as you squirmed, “I am your husband.”
“Wu-huh?” Your anger was now replaced with confusion and a stupid expression. “Whut?”
“I’m your husband,” Cale repeated. “The man you swore to be with the rest of your life, remember?”
“HUuuhhh??” The stupid expression you wore was now filled with reds. “We’Re…mArRieD?”
“Yes. Look,” he made you look at both your hands that had the wedding bands. “See? Married. For all of eternity.”
“..ThAt’S A LooOoNg tIMe…”
“I know,” Cale nodded at your comment, “do you…like the sound of that?” He shouldn't be asking this, in case the answer he hears isn't something he wanted to hear from you, but he had to. Curiosity dug deep within his heart.
You remained silent. This only printed Cale to regret his question. He’ll need to live with this for the rest of his life now.
“You don’t have to answer tha—”
“I do…”
Cale’s eyes widened. “What was that? Sorry, I couldn’t hear…” He had to make sure he heard right.
“I sAid…” you grabbed him by either side of his face and brought him closer to your face, “I. DO.”
He stared at you for a second before smiling, and then laughing at your antics. “Hehehe… I get, I get it…” Cale grabbed both your arms. “You need rest. Especially after the surgery on your left arm.”
“Surgery…?” You slowly ask, then your gaze follows his gaze at the arm he mentioned and loudly gasp, “WHAT IS THIS?”
There was a cast on the arm he said there was a surgery for.
Cale looked a bit confused. “Did you not realize there was a cast on your arm? [Name], how unaware can you be?” he flicked your forehead.
“OW–”
“Now, down you go. Off to the land of dreams,” he helped you get comfy in bed. “I’ll wake you up when dinner breakfast is ready, it’s still early in the morning.”
“Kay…” you yawned, ready to go back to the dream you left. “Night…”
“Good night…” Cale got back to lay in the chair he had slept all night in.
He snatched the blanket that had fallen off of him, and wrapped himself with it. As he was ready to take a quick nap before breakfast, he heard your voice creep up in the silence.
“..Cale…?”
“Yes?”
“I love you,” you say before falling asleep.
“...” he looked at your peaceful face and cracked a small smile, he whispered, “I love you too…”

LEOJAMI DETECTIVE AU
Oh whut I mustered up the strength to doodle for this oh my gooooosh. :O But yes, like I said earlier I have this whole twst magical detective/law type AU swimming in my brains and I need to let it out real quick. I'll go for bulletpoints since I think that would be the easiest to write out my thoughts without going on and on xD
Everyone would be like mid to late 20's adults here. I would say Jamil is 24, so following everyone's canonical age ranges Leona would be 27.
This would be a drama-comedy so the tone would fluctuate but when it's serious it's serious when it's not it's funny. uwu
I just totally imagine a scene where they're chasing a perpetrator through a fucking McDonalds and they climb into the kids play tubes to give chase and Jamil just flies in all nimbly and Leona tries it and gets his ass legit stuck while 3 year olds are fucking laughing at him.
On the opposite tone, in this world UM's are classified by how powerful and dangerous they are to the public...so it's mandatory for mages with high threat UM's to work in magical law enforcement. Punishment is basically they hand you over to STYX forever so uh...ruh-oh.
So Jamil is actually wearing glasses preventing him from using his UM. He has to take them off to use them. Leona is supposed to be wearing gloves but like come on it's Leona lmao he do what he want.
A lot of backstory elements will be somewhat the same, like Leona being a prince and Jamil being the property of the Al-Asim's but just like different. Night Raven College did not happen.
So basically Leona and Jamil were born and raised in their respective countries. Leona chose to leave home to come to Sage Island to work for their magical police force because he surely wasn't gonna stay with his brother and nephew. Jamil was transferred to Sage Island by his previous boss, Police Chief Al-Asim...because he had served his purpose in making his son a decent enough detective.
Sage Island's magical police force is...honestly the TRENCHES. All the weird and horrible things happen there magically and it's truly not for the faint of heart to work so close with high risk cases that occur there.
Basically you get sent to work there as a mage if someone is purposely trying to get rid of you...or you are really seeking them thrills.
Yes, Crowley is the guy in charge here so you know you're in the trenches. He still takes like 48 vacations a calendar year.
Jamil and Leona get partnered up and it's basically just Leona being grumpy old and jaded while Jamil is trying to prove himself to the max and thinks he knows it all. But they eventually come to an understanding and find a mutual respect for one another.
As soon as that happens Leona is basically like "you wanna sleep with me, Jamil. I know you dooo...i know you doooooooooo"
Jamil is in denial rewatches that "YOU BETTER NOT BANG YOUR COWORKERS" tiktok over and over and over...
He wakes up in Leona's bed anyway.
Jamil is thriving in the thrill and danger of the job that keeps his mind and body sharp and feeling some sense of freedom.
Leona finally feels a deep connection with someone again who he can be on the same level with and finds some purpose to wake up in the mornings.
Jamil and Leona are fucking happy with their second place lives because they have each other in it...in the good and the bad. The highs and the lows. They're there for each other.
They are both just as equally horrified about the fact they're falling in love and being all vulnerable and mushy with one another and actually enjoying life.
Seriously they are waiting for life to realize they're so happy and destroy their happiness as it always does.
Oh and the major bad guy is gonna be a TWST OF CLAYTON FROM TARZAN.
I have always wanted to twst him as an antag but it never felt right for him to be a student but an actual threat like Rollo or Fellow.
That's what I have so far uwu <3

The Arc’s have a strange way of dealing with feuds, instead of wiping out the other family through violence they take the female members and make them arcs
Now do with this as you will who shall piss off the arcs now that jaune is the only male heir!!!
Mama Arc: *About to have the last donut at the bakery*
Kali: *She takes it and takes a bite*
Mama Arc: *Looks at her*
Kali: *Embarrassed* Oh I'm sorry! I didn't realize that you also wanted the donut.
Mama Arc: *Smiles* It’s fine. Please, enjoy.
Kali: Thank you.
Mama Arc: Your welcome.
Later that day:
Jaune: *Building a ship inside a bottle* Be careful… Be careful…
*BAM!*
The door to his room bursts open and everything shakes, destroying his work.
Mama Arc: Jaune!
Jaune: What now?!
Mama Arc: I need you to impregnate Kali's daughter and make her yours!
Jaune: Whut?! Why?!
Mama Arc: She ate my donut!
Jaune: Huh?! Just that?!
Mama Arc: IT WAS MY DONUT!!

Some of my favorite Porter Gage lines!
“Keep your irradiated ASS away from me”
“Boss”
“Piss me off and I’ll still kick your ass from here to the Atlantic.”
“Sure was fun! Huh Boss?”
“I ain’t got the brains for mazes”
“How's it go? “This town ain't big enough for you and me?” Awh nevermind :(“

manlyman al/uwu lucifer, buff al/skinny lucifer, lucifer in a drag with al dressed in a suit - all the same crap, it's also very noticeable how much of luci in dress with al in a suit there is and how little the other way around or when they both in dresses and also luci in dress? 10000+ likes, while rare alastor in dress? well, barely 1000 or 2000. Same with any reverse of usual fandom versions of them. Very telling if you ask me. Blond, short, goofy, did a sad face few times? Of course it's the one who's we gonna make a girly girl here and there's can be only one in our mlm ship 🙄 People want fanon charlastor but without charlie in it because she's actually a female
Damn, you came in swinging.
But, like...I see no lies here. It is kind of funny that people put Lucifer in dresses more than Alastor when Alastor literally wore a nun outfit in the show. It's such a shame too because with Al's long legs and slim waist, DAMN he'd look so good in dresses.
It is very telling that in every fandom space, with at least one pairing - usually a very popular one - one of two becomes a girly girl and the other a darker, menacing, and more intimidating manly man. There's nothing wrong with feminine male characters, nor them being in mlm relationship, but when it happens to every. Single. Ship. where the characters are stripped down to basic archetypes.... ಠ_ಠ
It really is funny, because going by what we've seen in the show, Alastor is so much more of a girly pop than Lucifer is. Him and all his little wrist flicks and sassy remarks.
I mean
Look at this guy
Look at him
LOOK AT HIM
LOOOOOOK AT HIMMMMMMMM
How can people see this man as a super serious big bad muscle daddy? I don't understand. He's so unserious. So full of whimsy. He's a clowning troll. And I'm telling you, look at that thin waist and those long legs. He'd look amazing in a dress.
This actually reminds me of a previous ask I got a while back. The topic was centered around some fans saying that Alastor would never bottom and the over all characterizations of him and Lucifer, and this line here sums it up perfectly:
"shows such a patriarchal-ly drenched heterosexual view of sex, that they then apply to a MLM ship that drives me INSANE."
Particularly, the drenched in a patriarchally heterosexual view. Having one man in a mlm relationship be more feminine than the other is totally okay, there is nothing wrong with that, and there are a lot gay relationships like that.
But the way a lot of radioapple is depicted feels weirdly heterosexual, and it's because of the behaviors and archetypes that get assigned to them. Lucifer becomes this teeny tiny, wide-eyed, awkward little waif and Alastor this big dark possessive boyfriend who's always looming over his shoulder and glaring at anyone who looks at Lucifer. It reads like every other cringy straight romance I've read. Add in the trope of Alastor drinking Lucifer's blood and it's basically "Twilight" set in Hell.
Okay, not to derail, but there was this one AU that I was obsessed with. It's a Hades/Peresphone AU for radioapple, and it sounded amazing, but there were so many depictions of Alastor as Hades and Lucifer as Persephone and I was just...
I was flabbergasted.
You have Lucifer, the king of Hell, the DEVIL himself, be the goddess of spring instead of the Lord of the Underworld. I'm....whut?!!?!?! Alastor is literally a deer, he would be perfect to play Persephone. That guy would be hunting down all the people poaching and harming his domain and making them suffer, and I can totally see Niffty as a psycho little nymph that tags along on his "hunting trips."
I've seen one or two au's where Alastor is Persephone and Lucifer is Hades, and they are glorious, but every time I see the opposite I feel like I'm taking psychic damage. A year of my life gets taken away. I fear I'll be on my death bed soon.
Also this line "People want fanon charlastor but without charlie in it because she's actually a female" it's so true to fandom it hurts, but it's so fucking funny, I'm wheezing
You ate with this ask 🤌
#I see no lies here#Anon speaks the truth#the persphone/Hades au REAAALLLLY gets to me#I think its a perfect example of this#Lucifer is LITERALLY THE DEVIL#why TF wouldn't you put him as Hades???#IM#im just#going a little insane is all#not the fun insane eithe r#hazbin hotel#alastor#asks#hazbin alastor#hazbin hotel alastor#the radio demon#lucifer morningstar#lucifer magne#anon#anonymous#radioapple#appleradio

Gone Fishin’
18 plus or DNI
Contains: Sitcom energy, RoNance, Eventual implied Steddie x reader, Matchmaker!Eddie, Eddie & Robin Friendship, Eddie and Mike brother/bully dynamic, discussion of period typical homophobia in late 1980’s, no homophobic acts tho, spicy discussion but no actual smut
“Why are you smiling like that?” Robin asked.
Eddie adjusted his Family Video name tag and boosted himself up to sit on the counter next to the register. He leaned toward Robin, pointing at his face. “Smiling like what? Like this?? This here?”
Robin batted some of his long wavy hair out of her face.
Still grinning like a Cheshire Cat on edibles, He laid right down on his back. A long leg dangling on each side of the counter - sprawled out on top of Robin's order paperwork that was due this morning. He sighed and stretched in apparent satisfaction.
“Eddie, c’mon, less of your disruptive shenanigans would be appreciated today.”
Eddie huffed a laugh and rolled himself back up in order to push off the counter with a little hop.
Robin continued to berate him. “You have been smiling all crazy-like since you showed up. And you're everywhere while also simultaneously Not Actually Doing any Work??? I don’t want to complain about your mood because you’ve been a morose and moribund guy of late so this is a positive change, but today…What specifically gives? ‘Cause you are being a complete menace.”
“Someone is... maybe coming to visit the store today. To bring me lunch. Someone who said when I smile it makes her want to sit on my face.* So I thought I should be ready with generous smiles.” Eddie propped an elbow on the counter and leaned his cheek on his hand, smirking at the world.
“Oh my gawd, why would you tell me that?!?” Robin rubbed her eyes with her palms.
“I thought we were close friends now? Friends share things.” Eddie sounded hurt. But his big brown eyes were still shining.
“Tell Steve the details, you guys can bond over your slutty sex lives…”
“Excuse moi, but I am a one-man woman. That’s not slutty.”
“It’s slutty that you keep bragging out loud about it in public.”
“C’mon Rob, let me have this, it’s been a year since anyone even looked my way. And this gal does way more than look.” Eddie clocked that Robin had one eyebrow very raised in ‘closeted lesbian annoyance. “You know what, let’s find you a nice girl…”
“Will you shut your big-damn-mouth, someone might hear!!”
“No one is in the store, Rob. Look around. And anyway - they should grow up. It’s almost the 90’s for Crissake. Love is love and Lesbians are cool. It’s like Harrington says ‘Everyone loves...”
Robin clapped a hand over Eddie’s yap. “Everyone does not love the b-word that rhymes with tubes. This is a family establishment, Eds. It’s in the name above the door.”
Eddie nodded slowly. She let him go but he immediately popped off with, ”Sure - Everyone doesn’t like the same things, but the selection in the back room suggests common themes. And for the record, I was gonna say the t-word that rhymes with ‘kits’, not ‘boobies’.”
Robin let out a half-laugh half-groan. “That’s not better... ugh....You are impossible.”
“I know, I really am.” Eddie was positively glowing. “So, what we need to do is widen the net for you.”
“Whut??” Robin searched for her pen, she’d had it a moment before!!
Eddie pulled it gently from behind her ear and handed it to her unceremoniously.
“This town is too small to meet Out lesbian chicks or bisexually-leaning chicks, so we need to get you to Indy. Rick says there is a lesbian bar there. We can go this weekend. Keith’s on schedule for Sunday, so...”
“I’m not going to a...” Robin dropped her voice to a whisper, although it didn’t appear that there were any customers in the store. “Lesbian bar with you.”
Eddie gasped in actual hurt surprise. “Why the hell not?”
“Because... I dunno... it’s a Bad Idea tm.”
“Look, if you don’t want to go with me, that’s fine, I’m very hurt, but that’s fine - I know the perfect wingman for you.... Or wingwoman, to be more accurate.”
“Eds. Please. Pleeeease. I need to finish this paperwork and I need you to clean the restroom, can we just focus on work right now??”
“You think this job is more important than love??” Eddie gave her serious side-eye. He hopped over the counter instead of walking to the gate for the register area. He picked up the store phone.
“You, yourself, swore love was naught but bullshit, just last week.” Robin pointed out.
“Wellll...I was full of shit. And I hadn’t found love yet.” Eddie typed something into the computer and then began dialing the phone. “Hey Mikey, Is your sister around? Yes. Nancy, why would I want to talk with your baby-sister??? No. NO. Don’t put her on… Hi.... hi there Holly, how are you? Yeah, I’m fine too. Can you please get your Sister for me? Thank you.” Eddie rolled his eyes.
“Nancy isn’t gonna want to go...” Robin hissed.
“Hiya Wheeler, can you punch your brother for me? Thanks. No, that’s not why I called...... Okay, soooo... Can you take Robin to Indy this weekend to a bar to meet nice girls?” Eddie tapped out a drum solo on the top of the register. ”Yes? Yeah, I know a specific bar.....Yes? you will? Great. Thank you. Yeah, I know. She does..... You’re a peach, you know that?”
Eddie hung up the phone and smiled again - all benevolence, and bowed. “Thou art welcome.”
“Do I get even A LITTLE choice about this?” Robin asked, head in her hands. “I mean it is MY Life, and stuff, but do I get any say??”
“No, you don’t. It’s for your own good.” Eddie said in a tone that brooked no argument.
*For the record, this is not specifically what you said. You said something more romantic about kissing him all over and he heard what he wanted to hear. He does that. It’s cute, though.
----
1 week later, back at Family Video
----
“I blame you.” Steve poked Eddie dead center of his chest. “This is all because of your meddling.”
“I know you feel some kinda way about your ex and your best friend dating, but you need to put on your big boy pants about it, Harrington. It was meant to be.”
“No, it’s fine, that is fine, I mean, Robin put in her 2 weeks and they are going to France together and talking about getting an apartment near Emerson college.... and a dog when they get back. Already. Last month Nance said she wasn’t ready to settle down and now this?? And Robin doesn’t have time for me at all anymore....”
“I have time for you.” Eddie batted his eyelashes at Steve.
“Don’t. Seriously, dude. You are busy all the time, too, with your perfect girlfriend and I’m once again begging you not to give me the specific details about your sex life, okay?”
“Okay... jeesus. I’ve not been that specific.”
“No you haven’t, it’s just that you are very happy and it’s obnoxious.” Steve was teasing a little. Eddie could hear the bitterness underneath. “She knows you flirt with everyone right? She’s cool with that?”
Eddie cleared his throat. “She knows I flirt with you and she’s cool with specifically that.”
“I guess that’s flattering? maybe??”
“You guys get along, though, right? I mean, she thinks you are great.” Eddie asked.
“Yes, she’s very... great, too, and I’m happy for you. Just please don’t tell me I need to widen the net, I know the sea is full of nice fish - I am sick and tired of meeting chicks from far far away and trying to make long distance work.”
Eddie took a deep breath, rubbed his suddenly sweaty palms on his jeans. “Actually, I was thinking maybe you ought to look closer at your options here. Locally.”
“How locally? I think I may have overfished this particular pond.”
“Very very local.” Eddie licked his upper lip and nudged Steve in the upper arm. “Maybe just expand your horizons a bit. Here??”
“And you’ll set me up on some blind date and it will be a nightmare...”
“Not a blind date... just something you might need to be more open-minded about.”
“If I get any more open-minded, my brain will fall out. Do you mean dudes? Cause I think I might be open to that, I just don’t want any more one night stands, you know??”
“Do you trust me?”
“Yeah, I guess, yeah.”
“Then let’s go out. Tonight.”
“What about your girl...”
“With my girl. Potentially, our girl?”
“Oh? Oh!”

ITS THAT TIME AGAIIIIINNNN~
My thoughts an theories about TADC episode 4!!
SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 4
(Obviously)
-Ragatha and gangle wholesome interaction awe
IMMIDEATLY RUINED D:
-Abstragedy friendship!! :3
And zooble gave Gangle the new mask confirmed!!
-HOLY SHIT POMNI SAID THE THING-
-its funny cuz Caine still thinks Zooble won't go on adventures because they want them more mature and edgy lol
"But they had a whole therapy seesion-"
WE'LL COME BACK TO THAT
-SUGGESTION BOX REAL!?!?!
Also bubble and Caine share a tongue whut-
ALSO GONNA TOUCH ON THAT LATER.
-Oh kewl Gangle used to be a manager
So this is what Goose meant when they said the gang remembers parts of their past
-Zooble finally goes on an adventure!! Well they were forced but THATS NOT THE POINT-
-NOT RAGATHA IN THE DEEP FRIER
-Gangles expressions in this episode are amazing they have so much meme potential
-HOLY CRAP GUMMIGOO AND POMNI REUNITED CONFIRMED???
He did forget tho... or did h-
ALSO GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT ONE LATER
-Pomni's expressions in this are also amazing
-High Ragatha confirmed
-Gangle are you okay girly pop
-HOLY CRAP THE TRAINING VIDEO FELT LIKE AN ANOLOGE HORROR VIDEO AND I LOVE THAT SO MUCH
-HELL YEAH JAX GETTING WHAT HE DESERVES
-Well now we know the context for "huffing paint and not waiting till a designated break!?!?" Line
-Ragatha used to own horses awe :3
Also her being honest while she's completely out of it was funny and also a little sad for some reason
-Gangle and Pomni's little talk awe
-JAX ACTUALLY GIVING A CRAP CONFIRMED?? (aw man)
-Dude when Gangles vision started going blurry and the room got all dark I was screaming "PLEASE DON'T ABSTRACT PLEASE DON'T ABSTRACT-"
-Pomni was so sweet in this episode awe :3
-Wowie this looks like it was anime-inspired this scene is so beautiful wait gangle what are you doing GANGLE WATCH OUT
-Caine glitching out is just as funny as it is concerning
-More Abstragedy fan service!!!
Overall, I loved this episode!! I don't know how many people have already said this or how much IVE already said it, but the animation just keeps getting better and better!!
I loved the lighting and music when Gangle ran out in the parking lot, probably my favorite scene in the entire episode!
And sooo much got confirmed! WHICH, leads me Into the THEORY SEGMENT!!
-First off, Caine genuinely forgot the entire therapy session. Why? He was told too, duh!
If you rewatch episode 3, during the therapy session, Zooble tells him to, "Forget it." And Caine's reaction?
"Forget what?"
But... even after that they still did more therapy, so why doesn't he seem like he remembers??
Maybe something or someone made him...
Theres so much i could say this might turn into it's own post-
-Number B, the tongue thing. Not THAAAT Much to say here, but I do think it's just reuse of assets like how Caine reuses NPCs. ...except he's weirded out by it when it happens...
I think it was someone else's doing...
-SSPEAKING of NPCS, Gummigoo. A few people have said this already, but I think he might remember Pomni (at least a little bit).
When Gangle lectures her, Pomni uses Gummigoo's name and in the background he has a shocked expression. Now this could just be him goin "how does she know my name??" But either He didn't recognize her or that triggered his memory to come back.
When he leaves, he Hass a saddened expression on his face.
I've heard a few people say he does know but he just can't day anything or he's afraid to because... reasons are kinda obvious.
Welp! That's about all. Now I'm gonna start contemplating making a bigger post for the Caine theory...
K Byeee

Hiya, I hope youre having a good day!
On your advice for stiff writing, you said to 'avoid purple prose'. Im just wondering what that means? Sorry if I missed something from an earlier post.
Purple Prose and How to Avoid It
"Purple prose" is what we call writing that is "flowery" or ornate to the extent that it's melodramatic and pulls the reader's focus away from the actual story. Some things that contribute to purple prose:
1 - Overuse of Elegant and Elaborate Words
Normal Sentence: Clara stepped to the balcony and looked out over the crowd, finely dressed and buzzing with courtly gossip.
Purple Prose: Clara traipsed to the wrought iron precipice and gazed upon the throng, opulently clad and susurrous with scandalous hearsay and scurrilous palaver.
The problem: One of our biggest goals as writers is to effectively communicate the stories inside our heads, and we do that by making sure our prose is generally clear, direct, and precise. The overuse of elegant and elaborate words in the second example defeats the clarity because the reader is constantly having to think about what each word means, and maybe even look them up. When you read "balcony" you don't have to think about what that is. But "wrought iron precipice" requires a little more time to work out. "Crowd" is straightforward and clear where "throng" isn't. Everyone knows what gossip is, but "susurrous with scandalous hearsay" is just... whut.
The Solution: Most of the time, try to use the clearest, most direct words to communicate what you're trying to say. Don't constantly run to the thesaurus to find a fancier word. Ornate words should be saved for times when you really need the special impact.
2 - Overuse of Long Sentences
Normal Sentence: The finely dressed crowd buzzed with courtly gossip. (8 words)
Purple Prose: The throng was opulently clad and susurrous with scandalous hearsay and scurrilous palaver. (13 words)
The Problem: A variety of sentence lengths creates a cadence that helps your story flow. Since purple prose usually adds unnecessary words ("susurrous with scandalous hearsay and scurrilous palaver" takes seven words to say the same thing as "courtly gossip") you end up with more long sentences than short or mid-length sentences, if any at all, so not only do you not get that cadence, you often end up slowing the flow of the story.
The Solution: Keep an eye on your sentence length. If you see a lot of long sentences, see which ones you can tighten up. Not only will this help eliminate purple prose, but it will give you a nice variety of sentence lengths that will give your prose cadence and improve the flow of your story.
3 - Overuse of Figurative Language
I'm fudging the example here because I'm tired and my brain can't do figurative language right now, but it's things like metaphor, simile, hyperbole, idioms, symbolism, onomatopoeia, euphemism, and alliteration.
The Problem: Figurative language isn't usually the clearest, most direct to say something--though once in a while it does add much-needed clarity--so it's definitely not something you want in every sentence. Another issue with figurative language is it can be tricky to come up with something new or not over used, so a lot of figurative language falls into cliché territory. ("Their muscles were hard as rocks," "It was the calm before the storm," "They woke up on the wrong side of the bed...")
Solution: Make sure figurative language is used with intention and purpose. Before you use it, ask yourself what the figurative language accomplishes... how does it enrich the story or the reader's experience? Is it being used in a place that needs the added impact?
4 - Overuse of Adjectives and Adverbs
Normal sentence: She tiptoed down the steps and melted into the crowd, hoping not to be seen.
Purple Prose: She walked gently down the steep steps and quietly melted into the bustling crowd, desperately hoping not to be seen.
The Problem: Quite often, adverbs can be replaced by active verbs. There's no point in saying "walked gently" when you can say "tiptoed." No need to say "said loudly" when you could say "shouted." No need to say "drove quickly" when you could say "sped." And sometimes adverbs just don't add anything. If she tiptoes down the steps and melts into the crowd, isn't it kind of obvious that she's really reeeally hoping not to be seen? Describing that hope as "desperate" doesn't necessarily tell us anything useful. And in much the same way, while adjectives can certainly help paint a picture, when they're being over used, it's a good bet a lot of them aren't doing anything important. Why do we need to know the steps are "steep"? Is that going to be important later?
The Solution: Make sure you replace adverbs with active verbs whenever possible, and try to save adjectives for when they serve a purpose--either to flesh out description in important ways or tell the reader something they need to know for later.
5 - Overuse of Emotional and Sensory Description
Normal Sentence: She hoped no one saw her but couldn't fight off the feeling someone had. The fear made her heart pound and left a bitter taste in her mouth.
Purple Prose: She was absolutely desperate not to be seen, would pass out from shock if anyone saw her. Sweat streamed down her neck and pooled at the small of her back. She was so nervous she shook like a leaf, tasting bile in her throat as her heart pounded in her chest. The incessant chatter of the blathering crowd was almost drowned out by the frightening rush of blood in her ears.
The Problem: There's just too much going on. I love sensory description, but it doesn't have to be ALL the senses. And emotional details are great too, but she's desperate, potentially shocked, frightened, nervous... it's too much emotion. It's melodramatic.
The Solution: Use emotional description only when it's necessary, and don't forget you can also illustrate emotion by using physical and internal cues. Sensory description is great, too, but don't feel like you have to include all the sensory details in every description.
I hope that helps!

I saw a post going around about Dick adopting Jason. If you have been following my brainrot on my au, you can see where this is going.
----
Tom, holding Tim, freshly kidnapped: this is my son now. I am adopting him the minute I turn 17.
Harry, completely unbothered since this is way healthier than world domination: the legal age is 18, honey.
Tom: 18 then.
----
Tim, age 4: if you adopt me, since Dickie is your boyfriend then he's my stepmommy?
Dick, 14 and entirely unprepared to be a mother: WAIT
Tim, big teary eyes: you don't want to be my stepmommy?
Dick: omg you are manipulative as your dad.
Tim, brightens immediately: WEALLY?
----
Jason, age 8: I think you broke the land speed record and dad at the same time.
Bruce, barely in his 30s, laying on the kitchen floor: *has existential crisis*
Tom: dunno why, I'm just his son in law.
----
Later
Tim, 16: Dad, can I go out with my friends?
Tom, 26: sure, have fun.
Steph: didn't you mean to ask Bruce?
Tim: he's not my dad. Tom is.
Steph: excuse me WHUT
Bruce, barely 40, laying on the floor of the Batcave: I don't want to talk about it.
