#interview with a succubus

[wisteriasakana]

Welcome to Soe finally does a real devlog on Pink Pro (but first, she talks about something else) + little announcement!

This experience with jams has taught me that, as I am, the perfect deadline is a month and a half. If it's a full two months, I'll end up doing something else because "there's plenty of time", only to find myself doing it all in the second month/last three weeks.

BUT! It's not like I haven't done anything, what do you think?

[Part where I talk about other things]

🍨 In parallel with the development of Pink Pro, I collaborated with GrandPiekron on his This Tomb of Ours (Run and check it out, it's right HERE!).

It was great to be part of building a game from scratch and seeing it take shape! Maybe in the next few days, I could publish Erin's beta designs. Fun fact: Her sprite creation time was 10% sprite and 90% hair lock. As I already said for Clea and Aurel, the idea of making everyone bald is increasingly tempting.

At the moment This Tomb of Ours is not yet complete, literally only the ending is missing, but it is on its way. In the meantime, how about take a look at Doomstone, GrandPiekron's other game? It's complete, but I warn you that it's very dark.

🍨 My collaboration with @time-lapse-games continues, this time for a project that you will soon see on your screens.

Here, instead of sprites and busts, I am the main characters spriter and the betatester. When it's published, I'll obviously spam it here too!

🍨 As mentioned on Halloween, I'm getting help from two great people who can make Three Yellow Quartzes a game in existing English, and that involves discussing adaptations.

🍨 For the 100+ downloads (Thank you!) of Interview with a succubus, I contacted a Spanish translator to make it available in an additional language. I love Spanish and who knows, maybe one day I might be able to translate things myself! Hopefully in a more existent Spanish than my English.

I will never stop thanking acadizs for his translation and his patience with my requests.

🍨 Given the introduction of an additional language, I put my hands on Ren'py again to do a single build of Interview with a succubus.

I'd like to do other visual novels, maybe a little longer than ten minutes and more elaborate than two ending branches. I was a little sad that I didn't get to participate in the Once Upon a Time VN Jam, but 1. I had no ideas, 2. I wouldn't have had time even by mistake. I'm eyeing the Winter VN Jam but, barring a miracle, I seriously doubt I'll participate.

🍨 I would also like to go back to translating RPGs into Italian and I contacted again an author whose everything I translated except, like, their most important game. Living Playground: The Witch's Puppets, I'll come back to you!

🍨 I fixed a few things about The Night of the Candy Apple. I plan to make a dedicated devlog about it, once Pink Pro is published.

[/Part where I talk about other things]

I've been wanting to make "a pink game" for a while now. I love the aesthetic of games like The Huntress of the Hollow, Sweeter Yesterday and Dreaming Mary and I wanted to make something pink too. I also wanted to do something with sweets tilesets (You might have deduced this from the fact that I made a post on sweets tilesets-), so I decided to merge the two! When I decided to join jams, I decided that I would make my pink and sweets game for the Yuri Jam.

I've already written about the characters in their introductions, so what about the game itself? The game itself, in theory, is very simple: dialogues, cooking minigames, ending requirements, period. Then, of course, maps, sprites, CGs, music, sound effects.

So what's the situation like?

So geometric...

🍰 The maps are complete. They're the first thing I made and the first thing I finished! Obviously, Chocomill and com-sho could not be missing. I am very satisfied with how they turned out! (… Although I definitely need to practice more with exteriors. Maybe one day I'll be able to build a house other than a rectangle or trapezoid.)

🍰 The sprites are- The sprites for Chantal and Janet are complete. Margrit's would be complete too, if only I could make her tail decently.

As for now, the sprites of the others exist - Except Zora's, who is always the last. Poor Zora. They are not all 8-directions-complete, but it must be said that not all of them need 8-directions sprites-

🍰 The busts are complete! I still have to do all the expressions, though. If nothing else, they all have an average of 3/4 expressions, only Chantal has like eight.

🍰 CGs are almost finished! Only one left.

There's one that I'm extremely satisfied with, I hope you'll like it- Um, actually, it doesn't represent a happy scene, so I'm afraid you won't like it much-

Since I started using Clip Studio Paint not that long ago, I still make stupid mistakes that I notice eight hundred years later, possibly after publishing. Above all: smudged shadows, non-blended shadows and color that goes on the lineart. But I assure you that in traditional I know how to color within the lineart! I learned it in kindergarten!

🍰 The sound side is ready.

More importantly, Pink Pro will also have a customized music track! Maybe I'll talk about it more in depth in a future post, but in the meantime: thanks to DogStudio there will be a story section accompanied by a track that they wrote especially for the game! It has a very particular sound, and inspired me for the main musical genre.

I was sure of one thing: I didn't want to play the "jangling" music typical of sweets contexts. I find them cute, but I wanted to do something different. I hope you like the result!

🍰 On a separate note, since @time-lapse-games has been my sound designer for Three Yellow Quartzes and explained to me the whole philosophy behind the choice of sound effects (?), I pay more attention to the sounds and I feel like putting them even where I wouldn't have put them before. For anyone looking for sound effects for Anything, may Taira Komori's website be with you!

🍰 Venka's Crafting Script works!

… Well, inserting the latest recipes gave me a weird problem where recipes from, like, Number X to Number Y did not appear. I still have no idea why (I thought the numbers were connected to some variables that were also used in the game or other scripts, but that doesn't seem to be the case, so who knows?), but I solved it by simply dubbing the recipes that didn't appear in the number following Y onwards.

🍰 The cutscenes exist. It's a great achievement. The fundamental parts are there, the scenes of four out of five customers and the ending are missing. I hope I don't get stuck as usual-

And so?

Initially, I wanted to post the whole game in Italian, and then translate it as soon as possible - This is because, 100%, I would not be able to finish the game and translate it by the jam deadline. However, the RL has landed like a volleyball in your face as you walk courtside, and in the next few days I won't have as much time to dedicate to it as I would like.

SO! For the jam I will release a demo. If you stop to read the flavor texts and talk to everyone, the gameplay can last about twenty minutes. Seems like a good timing to me!

In this way, I will be able to publish both the Italian and the English versions. Since the game is 80% ready, I plan to get back to it as soon as I have a bit of a break.

And that's all for now!

To the next time! Hopefully with the demo-

your housemate sucks since meeting her new boyfriend. 

your normally sociable, polite and reasonable housemate has turned into some kind of lust-crazed succubus since meeting dale, spending hours upon hours of her time shut in her bedroom with him. and if she doesn’t shut the fuck up in the next five minutes you’re going to kick her door in. or castrate him. or possibly burst into sleep deprived tears.

“oh! oh god! fuck! dale, baby, oh my god!”

jesus fucking christ. it’s 4.30am and ruby is wailing like a cat in heat at the top of her fucking voice. she’s so loud you could swear she and her soon to be castrated boyfriend were fucking in your bedroom instead of the room next to yours. briefly you debate yelling at the top of your lungs but you don’t want to disturb the neighbours any further, so with a muttered curse you snatch your pillow and duvet off your bed and stomp downstairs to the living room so you can sleep on the sofa. 

you get settled onto the sofa and glare at the ceiling in the living room, the sound of rhythmic thumping and moaning still audible even with the increased distance between you and the nymphomaniac formerly known as ruby. you mutter and grumble to yourself as you shut your eyes trying to get at least a little bit of sleep before needing to get up for your job interview in the morning. 

–

at midday you kick the front door shut behind you and shrug your coat off your shoulders as you step further into the hallway. 

“hey i’m home!” you call up the stairs, “my job interview was an utter shit show so i’m thinking we get a chinese and a bottle of wine to commiserate, yeah?” you pause waiting to hear ruby’s usual reply reminding you not to order from the golden palace but silence greets you instead. 

“huh. weird.” you mutter to yourself as you pass through the living room, dropping your bag and coat on the sofa as you beeline towards the kitchen. ruby’s probably making something for lunch while listening to one of her creepy true crime podcasts. 

“hey ruby - oh.” you cut yourself off as you walk into the kitchen, no sign of ruby except for the used butter knife leaving a greasy smear on the counter and a pink post-it note stuck on the front of the fridge. you step forward to pluck the note off the fridge and squint at ruby’s loopy handwriting.

gone 2 stay w/ dale 4 a few days! look after widget for me - r xxxx

you huff a breath out of your nose and crumple the note into a ball so you can pop it in the kitchen bin with the crumbs you sweep off the side into your palm. ugh. it’s such a little thing but you feel frustrated tears well up in your eyes in response to having to clean up after ruby once again on minimal sleep. 

a tiny high pitched mrr! interrupts your internal grumbling and you turn around to face the little tabby that is waiting patiently by an empty food bowl. 

“hiya widge, have you been a good girl while i’ve been out?” you ask softly as you crouch so widget can bonk her head onto your outstretched hand. typically widget doesn’t answer but she chirps again before padding back to her bowl, politely requesting that you get with the programme and make with the biscuits before cleaning up the rest of the kitchen. 

you sigh and push yourself up from the floor, just another half finished job left for you. great. 

–

a week later, with no sign of ruby and your texts unanswered, your laptop chimes on the coffee table with a new email. you hope briefly that it’s one of the companies you’ve applied to responding to your application with an offer for a job interview, but your heart sinks as you realise it's an email from your landlord, john. 

you skim over the email and you feel your eyes sting as select phrases leap out at you. “i’m sorry to inform you that ruby has decided to end the tenancy agreement at 141 hereford way early” ... “you can choose to remain in the property as a sole tenant after an additional credit check to ensure your affordability” … “alternatively, please let me know when ruby has collected her belongings so i can advertise the room to other prospective tenants”. 

fuck. that utter bitch. she’s left you unemployed and now potentially living with a total stranger. fuck. 

your hands shake slightly as you reach for your laptop so you can start composing your reply to john. 

“hi john, thanks for letting me know. i haven’t heard from ruby in a week now, so i’m unsure when she’ll be able to collect her belongings but i think it’s probably for the best if you look at advertising her room as available to rent. i’ll start bagging up her belongings today. kind regards….” 

it’s official. your soon to be ex-housemate really fucking sucks. 

–

several days pass with a flurry of emails to john and even more unanswered texts to ruby, when a solid jaunty knock startles you out of the doze you’d dropped into on the sofa. you hiss as widget launches herself off your stomach using her claws for purchase so she can bolt up the stairs away from the noise. you swear under your breath as you kick one of the six black bin bags that line the hallway filled with ruby’s crap as you edge your way to the front door. the silhouette you can see through the frosted glass in the door knocks again just as you reach for the handle and pull the door open. 

“yeah yeah i’m here -” you cut yourself off with an embarrassed sound as you get a good look at the man standing at the threshold.  oh no, he’s fit as fuck is your first thought and you’re not wrong. 

the first thing you notice, as you flick your eyes over him quickly, is that he’s in incredible shape. the stranger has broad shoulders and a muscular chest that tapers off into a narrow waist. the second thing you notice when you raise your gaze back up to his face is that he has a jaw dropping smile when he flashes you a friendly grin. 

“hey, i’m kyle. your new housemate.” he says confidently, “john should’ve mentioned me.” 

you shake yourself out of the slight daze you’ve found yourself in - seriously no man should have skin that perfect - and you offer your own tentative smile back. 

“uh, yeah. sure. sorry i was -” you glance back into the hallway and cringe at the sight of the black bin bags “- um. in the middle of something.” you finish weakly, hoping you don’t look too obviously like you’ve been napping in the middle of the day. 

your housemate - kyle - rumbles out a slightly bashful chuckle. 

“no, no it’s fine. i would’ve been here earlier but i had to give a witness statement for the accident on the high street.” kyle reaches up and tugs at the brim of the scuffed blue baseball cap on his head awkwardly. 

“oh shit, really? what happened?” you query him eagerly, your love of gossip overriding your mild embarrassment in a flash. kyle’s eyes crinkle happily at your tone and he leans in conspiratorially, letting his hand drop away from his face. 

“some guy walked into an open manhole cover.” he says with a completely straight face. 

you burst out a startled laugh. “no fucking way!” 

kyle nods, his lips twitching in a poorly concealed grin. “yeah, stuck like winnie the pooh, i swear to god.” 

you have to hold onto the edge of the open door to stop yourself from collapsing into fits of laughter. “how -” another gleeful cackle escapes you before you can compose yourself, “how the fuck did he manage to do that?”

kyle shrugs. “he just walked straight through the barrier, surprised the lanky fucker missed it really.” 

you collapse into laughter again, feeling your cheeks ache from the width of your grin. holy shit, that’s the best thing you’ve heard all day. eventually your slightly hysterical laughter peeters out and you wipe at your eyes as you look at kyle who is grinning back at you. 

“so, fancy letting me in then?” he nudges at the frankly massive khaki rucksack at his feet after a moment of silence as if to remind you that he isn’t just here to charm you with silly stories and his offensively handsome good looks. your embarrassment flares once again as you realise you’ve just been looking at him instead of asking him to come inside like a normal person. 

“sorry, yeah of course.” you step back from the door and turn around so he can’t see the way your cheeks are now flushed from embarrassment instead of laughter. “sorry about the mess.” you say apologetically over your shoulder as kyle follows you into the hallway.

“oh i dunno, it doesn’t look too bad to me.”

you hear kyle kick the door shut behind him and you laugh again to cover up the way your stomach flutters at his tone. if you didn’t know better you’d say he was flirting with you, but you discount that as wishful thinking on your part as you lead him towards the stairs. 

it is wishful thinking, right?

Glitched lust part 2

A/N: Omg? Thank you for the love that was received on the first part of this! I'm not surprised to see how many people absolutely want to be between these loveable characters! I have to admit this was fairly self indulging, though I am glad to see how many others enjoy this idea of mine!

WARNINGS: Past sexual abuse/forced sexual actions. I didn't write the sex scene for it, but leading up to it, I did go into details. Reader has anxiety and dissociation episodes.

Part one

Also, I'm adding in one of my own characters to be your friend in a later part of this fic. He's not completely relevant, but if anyone would want a side story with him, just let me know. His name is Zane he's a hellborn incubus who works as a dancer who mostly works in the pride ring since "sinners know this the end, so they just blow their money"

Now let's get to the fic!

.

.

.

.

On the other side…

“Froggie, you can't just keep turning everyone away. There's got to be someone.” Asmodeus said, running a hand alongside his partners face.

He huffed, leaning into his hand. “You said pick someone who I thought I could trust. Most of these others didn't look like they could even handle a gun properly or they looked like lowly thugs.” He complained, turning his face away.

Sighing, he pulled his hand away, hearing the door open and close on the other side. “Well I had to host this short notice, but there will be someone. Hopefully, that will be someone who is less disrespectful as some of the others have been. I'd like someone who could blend in with you so it's not as obvious.” He said softly, leaning down to place a kiss on the imps forehead.

Huffing again, he crossed his arm to listen to the conversation through the speaker on the desk set to a low setting. His ears perking up at the soft yet firm voice.

“To do my job.” They both heard in response to the secretary asking why they were there. Asmodeus nodded his head at the response while Fizzaroli groaned. “Assuming your boss is in here to do the other part of the interview?” That peaked both of their interests as they heard a smugness in your tone at the same time a hand reached the doorknob.

After a few seconds, the door opened, and you stepped inside the bigger room lights being brighter. Noticing Asmodeus, you quickly bowed to both him and the colorful imp beside him before sitting down in the chair in front of them. “You knew we were listening?” Asmodeus asked, leaning back in his chair, hands resting interlocked on his lap.

You nodded your head before speaking. “Yes sir, I saw the light under the door, and there was a speaker behind your secretary, I saw it when they leaned to give my resume back.” You slid said resume across the table along with the stamp instead of sliding it to Asmodeus himself. You slid it to Fizzaroli. “I'll take the liberty to assume it's him you want a gaurd for and that you told your secretary what your standards are, so I've been approved by you already.” You stated pointing to the stamp on the front of the envelope.

Fizzaroli's eyes widened at your statement before taking your resume. “Well you are right on that much.” He heard Ozzie respond, letting you both speak before reading over your resume himself occasionally glancing up at you. “He's an imp hybrid so he would fit in with me like Ozzie wanted…” He thought to himself.

“You're an imp, but you're crossed with something else. What would that be?” He heard Ozzie ask, looking up to hear this part of conversation for himself. Snorting at the irony, loving how in tune he was with his partner.

“Why, wouldn't the king of lust recognize one of his own beings?” You asked teasingly before moving on. “My parents were an imp and a succubus, so I'm half imp and an incubus.” Asmodeus nodded his head in approval, looking down to watch Fizz finish reading.

Fizzie nodded his head to Asmodeus in confirmation for this one, and Asmodeus pulled another stamp out of his breast pocket. “The time and date are on the back. You and a few others are to go there to do a more physical interview with me and Fizzaroli overseeing it. Please bring anything you would use while on the job. My secretaries number is on the back if you have any further questions.”

The way he had said “physical” made you snort in amusement as you took the card from him, looking it over before sliding it in your own pocket. “That's the king of lust for you, not knowing if it's an innuendo or just him talking.” You rolled your eyes at the thought. “I'll leave my resume with you to look over my lord just in case there was something your secretary missed.” Standing from your chair, you walked towards the actual exit before turning back with a smirk. “Since these were in your pocket instead of on the desk like they were in the other room, I'll assume there won't be many people there anyways.” And with that, you left closing the door behind you.

“Hmm.” Fizz heard Asmodeus hum above him. “What is it?” He asked, seeing a questioning look on Asmodeus's face.

He smiled down at him, patting his head. “I quite like that one, I feel he'll be the most likely candidate.”

A week later…

You were in Blitz's office discussing what payment percentage you would take and what he would take for the company if you ended up getting the job. “Well I'll be damned…” He'd said as he looked at what the starting price would be. “You technically are…damned I mean.” You snickered at the glare he shot your way, having already taken a look at the price beforehand. “People are willing to pay a lot for the things they want protected.” You added leaning back in the creaky chair. You leaned over to grab your already packed bag. “Well I have another interview to get to. I'll be seeing you, boss.” You nodded to him before making your way to the door.

You paused, hearing Blitz's chair slide away from his desk, and at the hand he placed on your shoulder, you turned to see him with a strange look on his face. “People are willing to pay a lot for that. Just if you get the job, don't let anything happen to Fizz.” He said before letting you go moving back to his desk.

With a shrug, you stepped out of his office, and closing the door behind you made your way out to the lobby, nodding at Loona on your way to the armory. Grabbing your belongings from your locker before clocking out of the I.M.P building to make your way to the parking lot.

(I'm picturing a model based on the 1990s Honda accord, but you can have whatever car you wish!)

Unlocking your car and sliding in, you tossed your bag into the passenger seat, pulling the meeting card out of your pocket to look at it while the A/C ran its course. Flipping it between your fingers a few times, you landed on the side with Asmodeus sigil. "How in the nine circles did I manage to end up here....I used to be a stripper for Wrath's sake..." Shaking those thoughts away the corner of your mouth quirked up as you slid the card back into your pocket before driving out of the parking lot.

It took a little while before you got back to your apartment, humming the song that last played from your radio as you entered your home tossing your bag on the counter. "I was going to relocate closer to I.M.P, but I should probably look for somewhere in the Lust ring just in case I land the job..." You muttered, walking over to your couch, pulling your phone out of your pocket along with the card and placing them both on the table. Sliding a computer closer from where it rested on the coffee table, you opened it up and plugged in the address for the meeting place on the card. "It's at his club?" You questioned, making sure you had the address correct.

After a while of doing some more research on the club so you could get more info on the layout, which there wasn't much to be seen other than the main restaurant, bar, the stage, and the more intimate rooms. Shutting your computer with a sigh, you leaned your head back on the couch. "What if I went there before the meeting date to gather more intel?" You thought about it some more nodding your head. "Would that be cheating?"

Contemplating it some more, you picked up the card and your phone typing the number in and letting it ring. "Asmodeus did say call if I needed anything..." After a few moments, a click sounded, and a voice answered. "Sabrina speaking on behalf of Asmodeus, how can I assist you?"

"Ah yes, I'm one of the candidates for the body gaurd job for Fizzaroli, I had a quick question." You leaned back your back cushioned against the couch.

"Am I allowed to come to the club before just to look around for a bit?" You paused waiting.

She took a moment before responding to the sound of papers being moved around before she spoke into the receiver. "Yes, you're allowed to do that. The club is still couples only, and that rule applies to everyone. So if you do decide to come please be mindful of that."

You sighed, nodding your head. "Alright, yes ma'am, I'll do that. That's all, thank you!" You waited for her to say goodbye before hanging up, tilting your head back with a sigh. "Who am I supposed to take with me?" You said to no one tossing your phone and the card on the couch beside you.

After sitting there for a moment, you stood up, shaking your head as you made your way to the kitchen. Making a quick sandwich before leaning against the counter to think it over while you ate. "I could take one of my old work friends?" You nodded your head, walking back over and shooting a text to a friend from when you worked in the clubs as a dancer.

You: Hey, completely unrelated to the conversation we were having, but would you go with me to Ozzie's? It's for a work thing and it's couples only.

Zee: Yeah! I don't mind blowing work tonight if you wanted to go today. This overlord guy is lucky I don't just leave. The money is good when he isn't being an ass. He can't even see to count it!

You sighed in relief chucking as he complained about his "boss" again.

You: I seriously don't understand why you don't find elsewhere. He doesn't have you under contract. But I'll come pick you up at 8 if that works? I'll pay of course.

Zee: ughhh I so would but his club is the most popular in the pride ring and I rake in more as a hellborn anyways, 20 dollars is 20 dollars 😘

Zee: I'll be waitingggg~

Rolling your eyes, you put your phone on the counter, pushing off of it and heading towards your room. "Alright, it's currently around two, so I have time."

You walked around your room, grabbing your necessities before heading to your bathroom, setting your belongings on the counter. Catching a glimpse of yourself in the mirror, you put your hands on the counter, taking a deep breath as you steadied yourself. “It's just another job, for a king of Sin yes but still just a job…” you hesitated before pushing off the counter with a groan your hands finding their way to your head rubbing at your temples. “Oh what am I saying! I'm just going to his club to scout the place out, nothing more!” Leting your hands fall to your sides, you sighed, shaking your head before getting the shower prepared. “You need sleep man get a shower, take a breather, and then get ready, routine just as it's always been…” Trailing off, you looked at the wall just letting your head go blank.

You flashed back to a memory of when you worked as a performer. Everything was like it was in slow motion, but you remembered when it was a much faster paced reality. You watched yourself slowly spinning on a pole turning and dipping before moving down the stage blowing a kiss to your boss, she made the show of catching it and placing it on her own lips before waving you off with a wink, a promise she'd be seeing you later. When you first started working there, you'd thought it was a sweet gesture, but it was only so she could show her authority.

The memory flashed to you later, taking a wad of money from her smirking as you counted it sitting down when she patted the cushion next to her. “You're my best performer, you know that? You bring in so much for me and my club.” She ended that with a caress to the side of your face. You knew what was coming. It was routine, another job. “Well I aim to please that's all.” You responded in kind, leaning into her hand.

She hummed running her hand from your hip grazing over the straps that held your little to the imagination outfit on then gliding between your chest up to the underside of your chin lightly squeezing your neck between her long red nails.

A moment later red blood dripping from those same claws, your own blood, you'd asked if you could go home for the night, that you were tired that you didn't want to “play” as she always put it.

“You do what I say when I tell you, you're nothing without me and my club. You're nothing without this job.” She walked closer sitting back in her chair using one of her boot clad heels to push your face up from where you'd been looking at the floor holding your neck, blood dripping down between your fingers and down your chest. “Now you aim to please, and you will please me when I say.”

You bit your tongue, nodding your head. “Yes Ma'am…” you'd muttered quietly, gagging when she pushed your head up further the gashes in your neck straining. “Yes ma'am!” You'd said louder more of a choked plea than anything.

She smiled fondly, releasing her heel from your chin to instead push against your chest. “That wasn't so hard, was it? You're nothing but an obedient pet for me to play with as I wish. Now, go on and do your job for me. Be a good pet now.”

You nodded, kissing up her leg and taking off her laced tights, gently moving her boot away from your chest as you kissed up past her knee.

Then you stood standing in your bathroom again. The whole place steamed up, forgetting your shower being on as you zoned out. Shaking your head to clear the memory, you took a shaking breath as you cut the lights out, turning on the low light in the corner as you got undressed and stepped inside the shower.

Later being in a nice suit undershirt slightly unbuttoned at the top and the vest pulling in your figure nicely as you held out a hand to your “date” He laughed as you pulled him out of the car in front of Ozzie's. It'd seemed he'd taken a book out of the 20's wearing a sparkling dress with a high slit up to his hip, hands gloved all the way up to his elbows, and some sort of furry scarf draped along his shoulders. A headpiece holding his hair back in an elegant style.

You rolled your eyes pulling him up he quickly got his footing rather gracefully considering the tall heels giving him a few extra inches over you, they followed up tights to a garter set on his exposed thigh with feathers adorning it. “You look amazing as always Zane, can't believe I've let you show me up.” You laughed, tucking an arm around him as you made your way to the big doors. “Oh back in your dancing age, you could have showed me up, don't even try that.” He scoffed, lightly shoving you. “When you hit the body gaurd detail, you started dressing so bland.”

You both smiled at the guard. You pulled out the reservation tickets you had received and also flashed your stamp from Asmodeus before quickly being escorted inside. “You're lucky that secretary of his gave me this, or I wouldn't have been able to get the reservation so soon. If not for the “bland bodyguarding” we'd have to wait just a month to get in here.” You'd leaned in towards his pointed ear to say that chuckling then pulling him away to lead him to your table right by the stage huffing out a laugh as he stopped you to slide a flower and feather arrangement into your breast pocket then taking his scarf and wrapping it around your neck flipping one side over your shoulder.

He nodded in approval, patting your shoulders before taking the seat you had pulled out for him. “There we go! Much better!” He slid his phone out of his pocket.

You looked surprised as he held it up. “How did you manage to fit pockets into that tight ass dress?” He smirked, throwing you a wink. “A girl has her ways, and I as a twink of a man sewed pockets in my dress because I may make my own outfits, but not everything fits in a clutch.” He held his phone up higher, grabbing your hand across the table. “Now smile for the camera, beautiful.” You sighed, smiling with him as he took a few photos. “Oh man, you rolled your eyes in this one! You're lucky you're pretty!” He poked fun going to play on his phone.

“May I take your order today?” A waiter asked, popping up out of nowhere. Zee jumped, but you turned toward them with a smile. “Yes me and my friend here would like to order our drinks now. I'll take a whiskey, neat. And my friend will have the frutiest cocktail you can muster.” You answered kindly, snickering as Zee reached to slap you on the arm. “As you wish, I'll be back shortly with your drinks and to take your order.” The waiter bowed slightly before walking away.

“The frutiest cocktail you can muster!” Zee mocked, holding his fingers up as quotations. “What is that supposed to mean!” He crossed his arms with a playful huff.

You shrugged, grabbing the menu on the table. “You called yourself a twink of a man, not me. Those are your words.” You laughed as he shot you a fake offended glare.

“Well, that's a stereotype. Not all of us fall into that category.” He picked up his own menu, and he started scanning over everything. “What if I got a salad? Would that fall into another stereotype?” He looked over the menu, blinking expectantly at you.

You gave him a deadpan expression. “Really? Come on you know that's not what I meant Zee. Plus you used to get the most sugary shit when we worked. You're welcome to trade for my whiskey when it gets here?” You set your menu down chuckling when he made a gagging expression. “Hey save the fake gagging for the camera!”

He made another gagging face before giving you a serious look. “I'd seriously rather die than drink that. It's so bitter!” Pulling out a compact mirror from his clutch he checked his makeup before groaning. “I'll be right back I need to fix my face. Order me the chicken parm please!” He shouted back as he walked towards the bathroom with a wave.

By the time he returned the drinks were there as well as your respective meals. “Ooo!” He shouted picking up the bright pink drink and taking a sip. “Ugh okay stereotypes aside this is amazing!” He took another sip moaning before taking your cup out of your hand setting it down before putting his cup in your face. “Try it!”

You'd leaned back a bit when he shoved it in your face, but you shook your head with a sigh leaning forward and taking a sip. It was fizzy but also creamy like some type of cream soda and strawberry ice cream. “Oh wait, that's actually really good.” You mumbled, taking another sip groaning when he snatched the drink back towards himself.

“Nuh uh get your own if you like it so much, I'd be more inclined to share if you weren't such a dick.” He said, wrapping his lipe around the straw and throwing you a wink before going to slurp it down. You knew it was because he just wanted it for himself, so you rolled your eyes in return, enjoying the rest of your own drink.

It was a while later you'd walked around a few times, found all the exits in the dining area, and found all the bathrooms. And you knew the food was really damn good along with the name of the drink Zane had gotten.

“Oh while you were looking around ahead of your job and I was relaxing, I asked the waiter what the name of my drink was.” Zane said, picking at his nails and putting his phone screen down on the table. “It's apparently called “the Asmo” Isn't that funny?”

You tilted your head curious about the name of the drink since it was good and then snorting when you learned its namesake. “Think that's what he tastes like when he fin-”

Now, you were currently trying to get a better look at the private rooms in the father back of the club. There were more staff in this area, and you'd been trying to slide back into the hallways to get a better look at the rooms and also behind the stage. You huffed at another failed attempt. “Oh come on, this place has good enough security if it's keeping me out.”

What you hadn't known is that there have been eyes on you ever since you got to the club.

Asmo had been in his office that evening when he'd gotten a call on his desk phone, letting it go to his secretary as he did paperwork Fizzaroli taking a nap in their room. He listened as the secretary handled the call before tuning it out.

"Am I allowed to come to the club before just to look around for a bit?"

He heard tuning back into the conversation, his pen momentarily stopping in its writing. Listening to catch up on what he missed in the conversation. He nodded his head as his secretary confirmed he could, but he'd still need a date. “I would have let that one slide.” He said to himself with a shrug. “They won't need a date to get in once they work for me.” He let the machine click off. His head popped up, however, when he heard the door to his office open.

Fizz came in yawning and stretching, walking carefully over to Ozzie's desk as he rubbed his eyes. “So you've basically already chosen him?” He said as he extended his legs to hop up on the desk and sit in front of Asmodeus.

Asmo blinked, thinking about what he meant before realizing what he'd said. “I mean, he does show the most promising attributes. He can gaurd you, he has a history of body gaurding, and he can blend in with you. Of course, I see him as a likely candidate.” He set down his pen leaning back in his chair, taking his reading glasses off and setting them to the side. He held his arms out for Fizzaroli. “Did I wake you up when I left?”

Fizz smiled but shook his head as he crawled into his lap. “I woke up once it started feeling cold without you.” He pushed his face into his chest since he was still only wearing his robe. “And I was going to try to convince you to come back to bed instead of working.”

Asmodeus hummed a fond smile on his face, turning up into a smirk. "Normally, I'd let you have your fun and pull me back to bed, but I've got to get everything sorted for the interview. As you've heard just now, a few of the candidates have called ahead to see if they can scout the place." He brought his free hand up to play with the end of the imps sleep hat, twirling the ball on the end between his fingers. "I wouldn't mind if you stayed in my lap, though." He trailed off, looking down to see that he'd already dozed back off, and he chuckled lowly in his throat. "It seems you've decided for me..." He continued doing his paperwork using his free hand to push his head closer to his fluffy chest using his thumb to rub at his cheek.

Fizz stood in the viewing box above the stage, trying to remember all of the candidates' faces so he could see who was and wasn't there. "Is it really smart to hold the test here, Ozzie?" He turned to where Asmodeus was sitting behind him while he was standing at the railing.

He had a smile on his face, pouring himself another drink. "I promise Fizzie everything will be okay. I'm hosting it here because this is where they'll be working the most. I have all of the kinks worked out, so there's no need to worry!"

It had sounded reassuring, and Fizz nodded his head with a smile, but his eyes flicked back over to all of the people out there.

I promise that in the next part, relations will start to develop, but I'm a sucker for a somewhat plot and character building. Please let me know your feedback. This is my first multi chapter fic! I'm also thinking about making a tag list so let me know if you'd be interested.

Speculating more on Agatha’s siphon powers spurred on by Agatha’s appetite.

I’m spitballing here but could it be possible the reason why Wanda’s Hex became distorted wasn’t because Wanda is “gone” but because Agatha is unconsciously feeding on the residual magic that comes from a Scarlet Witch spell?

It took Three years for the spell to lose its efficacy, enough for Agatha’s subconscious to nudge it from Nosy Neighbor to Detective Agnes.

In episode 9, Agatha told the Forest Witch that she and Nicky haven’t eaten in a while. On rewatch, it struck me how quickly Agatha siphoned the witches. She didn’t even let herself have one minute before she provoked them to attack her.

Instead she left the witches’ encampment with only a cup of soup, and seemingly, a peaceful, healthier Baby!Nicky.

Does Nicky also have some of Agatha’s siphon abilities?

When Nicky asked about why Agatha killed witches, Agatha said it was to survive. It sounds like a paranoid justification especially paired with Agatha saying, they would kill us.

“Us” and not just her. But Agatha and Nicky.

And then, Alice died because Agatha has been magick starved for three years and the sudden blast of magic must have been like water in the middle of a desert.

Or, a starved vampire getting fed with blood for the first time. And Alice wasn’t even enough for Agatha to top up.

Agatha telling Lilia she needs to restock is a lot more chilling now. Lilia survived a garden variety vampire only to encounter Agatha, a special kind of witch vampire hybrid. A succubus.

The only reason Agatha was able to switch off her siphon ability with Billy is because Maximoffs with Chaos Magic is a bottomless source of food. And, apparently siphoning from one Maximoff witch for a short time is equivalent to draining 4 witches at the same time.

It’s so fascinating and sad that Agatha’s source of ‘magickal food’ are her own fellow witches.

How is that going to affect ghost!Agatha? Is that siphon ability just limited to her physical body or is she going to have a different problem altogether and become a hungry ghost if she doesn’t get to feed?

*Magickally, I mean. Agatha does still need regular food. But it looks like food isn’t a complete meal for her.

But also, Agatha scarfing down thar corndog is such a great acting choice. Agatha is a person of many appetites and underneath that facade is a woman who always hungers.

I want to know more about the mechanics of Agatha’s siphoning / succubus powers work! Especially since its tied to her appetite, and now that as Jac mentioned in that House of R interview, apparently her ability has evolved into touch.

And that’s how Agatha absorbed Death’s powers.

It used to be just a defensive power, if she has a physical body again, she can just reach out and touch to absorb someone’s powers.

After years of procrastination and second thoughts, I decided to join some jams – Both to see if I’d ever be able to meet some deadlines imposed by others, and to, like, actually produce something.

This is my participation in the O2A2 Visual Novel Jam, aka Only One of Any Assets Visual Novel Jam. I’m triple satisfied: I was able to produce something, I did it within the given time limits and I also started using Ren’py!

It’s Interview with a succubus, and these are the coordinates:

❤️ Available on Itch.io (Click me! Click me!) ❤️ In English (The Italian version will come later, because one of the limitations of the jam is a text of up to 1000 words and, at the moment, I don’t want to polish the Italian version-) ❤️ 3 endings  ❤️ About 5 minutes of reading ❤️ Major warnings are few obvious sexual references and mild language. Nothing happens, but it’s still recommended for 15+

It’s short and silly, but I hope you like it!

Q: hi Cecil, it's an honor to have you here with Simfashion today, can you tell the readers a little bit about your company? A: thank you for welcoming me, Irene. and about our company...

So both Rowling and Kui have done a lot of world building outside the official manga/story, but when Rowling reveals wizards vanished their poop, she is seen as a clown, while Kui can say faries are made of cum and the audience loves it.

well, i think there are many different things happening here.

the idea that this entire population would just squat wherever they are and take a shit only to then banish it afterwards seems too absurd, too outside of a society we can relate to or come to understand or empathize with. its off putting to think about and frankly paints wizards as aliens in a way that feels discordant with how they had been portrayed on the books. and also rowling's own world does not have the tone or the mood to fit with this revelation. that sounds like something you would see in a rick and morty sketch or a worldbuilding aspect of The Boys, not the wonderful magical wizarding world of harry potter.

this kind of nitty gritty "lets bite the bullet on the unpleasant implications of my world" is completly out of step with the kind of story rowling tries to tell in her book. in fact she has shown to be kind of averse to doing that in the past, so why would she do that now?

with ryoko kui its different, dungeon meshi is ALL ABOUT exploring the weird and silly implications of what happens when you take worldbuilding seriously. comedy is a big aspect of the story, as well as confronting face to face all the unpleasant real aspects of biology, living creatures and ecosystems. we see in the succubus section that succubbus feed their spawn with a milk they secrete through their anus, when we see minotaurs' breasts they are uncomfortably swollen and veiny, when they open an unripe barometz they find a calf uterus inside, etc etc etc. also kui incorporates elements of folklore and myth stayng loyal to their gory strnage origins, semen HAS been used in pleny of real magical rituals in the past so she includes that detail here to stay truthful to those myths. so its a lot less discordant.

also, it helps that when ryoko adds extra materials and cannons to her world she does it in the way of actual comics whereas rowling would do so by way of throwaway lines during interviews and whatever, so there is a bit less legitimacy in her extemporanous additions

[houseofmad]

It’s still a WIP. University has been keeping me busy a lot so I haven’t gotten much time to do completed works ahahaha.

I was saying on priv how the manga panels of Interviews with Monster Girls reminded me of my Demon/Angel AU with LavEmiya, where Lav is basically a failure of a succubus who keeps trying to seduce Angel Emiya. A friend told me that in the anime the main guy is voiced by Suwabe so I been redrawing slowly screenshots of the two but LavEmiya.

Promptober 2024 is a list of 31 this-that-or-the-other prompt themes handpicked by our mod team to cross international borders for creators to choose from to create spooky, oogie, or hygge fanworks for the autumn & Halloween season (or for Scary Christmas, Valloween/St. Guillotine’s Day, Half-Halloween, Gay Halloween!, Summerween, Scary Christmas in July, or Autumn Down Under for our Aussie creators). We continue to be not your mom so we’re not here to tell you when or how long you can celebrate your Spooky Season. Here at Darcy Lewis Bingo HQ, all your spooky holiday lifestyle choices are valid. In fact…

Important Dates & Deadlines

Promptober begins on August 3rd, 2024 this round, but you know how we feel about deadlines. 🔪 So, for this round of Promptober, we’re doing away entirely with hard deadlines and we mean it! You have from August 3rd, 2024 until our next Halloween event begins, and even beyond that, if you like! Though we do strongly recommend wrapping up this challenge before the next spooky challenge begins, this event remains open basically as long as this bingo exists. No pressure to complete, ever, just inspo and encouragement. 🧡

Promptober Challenges

Promptober Mini Challenge: choose and complete fannish works for any 13 of the prompts from this list for our mini challenge. Creators may choose 13 prompts from the list of prompts—any 13 prompts at all!

Promptober Mega Challenge: choose and complete fannish works for 31 of the listed prompts for our spooky main event! Creators may choose any 31 of the total 93 prompts listed to complete this event.

For an extra personal challenge, you may limit yourself to only posting a fanwork inspired by one of the prompts listed by the number that corresponds to each day of October for every day of the month all month long, but it’s absolutely not required for completion of this event. We want you to succeed and create, and to share new Darcy works, so our goal is always to support you in your fannish creative endeavors and make that as easy as possible.

*If you post every day in October as a personal challenge, mention us @darcylewisbingohq in your tumblr posts to let us know you’ve posted a new work or update so we can reblog your daily posts in as close to real time as possible. Once we’ve left a like on your post, rest assured: that means it’s in our queue, just waiting its turn to be featured on our blog.

Promptober 2024 Guidelines

Promptober fills must prominently feature our beloved Lady of Astrophysics, Dr. Darcy Lewis!

Promptober creators have all of our 2024-2025 round to work on this event! If you want to work on it the whole year until we release the next spooky season event, we encourage you to do that. If spooky challenges are particularly your jam, we’d love to see what you do with ours when you’ve got the whole year to tackle it!

entries—Your fanwork is NOT required to use the prompt exactly as it appears on this list. Prompts need only inspire your fanwork, whether they appear word for word in it or not. However the prompt inspires you is correct, as far as we’re concerned. Subvert the prompt, reverse the prompt, marry the prompt—it’s up to you.

All forms of fannish works are accepted and encouraged for this event! Fanfic, fanart, poetry, podfics, fanvids, playlists, fiber and other crafts, fan edits, moodboards, etc.

You may start posting your Promptober fanworks as soon as they’re ready to share. No need to wait until October and no need to rush to get them all done in that month, either.

Fanwork Fill Requirements

100 words for written works or word art, with the exception of poetry with independent formatting rules (such as haikus).

1 image for artwork or handcrafts of any kind and a description for the visually impaired of the medium used and what it represents.

1 image for cosplay or character-bounding and a description for the visually impaired of cosplay or clothing and any other fashion influences incorporated into the costume or clothing (be descriptive! talk about fabrics and colors, tone and texture! describe the emotions the colors you used evoke in you as the creator!)

9 elements for moodboards (background, images, texts, ephemera) and a description for the visually impaired of the moodboard and what it represents.

6 images for social media AUs and a description for the visually impaired of the creation and what it represents.

10 songs for playlists and a text list of artists and songs to give credit to the original artists, plus a description for the visually impaired of what the playlist represents and how it relates to Darcy.

Still not sure if your creation will meet the minimum prompt fill requirements? @ a mod! we’ll create new requirements based on new types of creator fanwork submissions, as needed.

These participation requirements are identical to our annual bingo event; those guidelines are always pinned at the top of our tumblr blog where they’re easy to find; the link to those guidelines and fill requirements can also be found on Discord in our #bingo-info channel.

I’ve heard that the general consensus amongst viewers of Ghost Adventures is that Zak Bagans needs to have sex with a man but he doesn’t know it yet. I speculate that that man is Jensen Ackles.

Zack has said in interviews that dating is almost impossible for him, due to the succubus he believes is haunting him. He claims that when he brings women home, they are attacked (physically and emotionally) by the spirit and he cannot maintain these relationships.

But Jensen Ackles wants to get haunted by a real ghost sooooooooooo bad. And they BOTH wanna be Dean Winchester SOOOOO BAAAAD. So like. What if Jensen just fucks Zack. I feel like that would solve everyone’s problems. And Jensen’s wife would be so into it, she would be like, filming it and directing it. She’d be like “yeah babe that’s good, grab the headboard” and then Jensen would say something homophobic and Zack would cum furiously and then Jensen would get possessed by a demon and then they all high five and release the sex tape as the next episode of the SPN spinoff or whatever.

Wounded in battle, soldier Marc (William Shatner) ventures to the remote village of Nomen Tuum to find a well where the waters are said to be blessed with healing powers. Little does he suspect that the inhabitants of Nomen Tuum are demonic seductresses who entice interlopers and lead them to damnation, and one such succubus, Kia (Allyson Ames) has her sights on Marc. As an eclipse shrouds the sun and darkness falls over the village, Marc and Kia’s relationship becomes more passionate… will his soul survive?

Pre-order Incubus.

How did you come up with Bianca's name?

Hello. Thanks so much for the question.

I came up with Bianca's name in a pretty straightforward way back in 1997 when I was 17. This was before I really cared about the symbolism in my work. Back then, I used to create characters and read fan fiction over the phone with a friend. Do you believe that Bianca wasn't even a celestial then? She was a scientist.

I wanted a name that sounded cool for her. I was heavily inspired by Interview with a Vampire and Bram Stroker's Dracula at the time. I wanted her first name to sound like a vampire, even if she was just a scientist. Her first name, Bianca, came from one of those mini baby name books you'd find at store checkout counters. These had astrology mini books as well. Her original last name, Logan, was chosen at random from the Yellow Pages. I simply closed my eyes, pointed, and picked it. Looking back, 'Bianca Logan' doesn't have the same elegance I want her to represent now.

The names 'Amara' and 'Moore' came later. I began to write original works featuring Bianca outside of her Final Fantasy counterpart. These additions were more deliberate and chosen to reflect her story and deeper symbolism. Amara, means eternal, represents her transformation into a succubus and her connection to immortality. Meanwhile 'Moore' evoke an image of a dreary moor. I wanted her last name to tie into her descent into darkness and her more chaotic nature in the original work.

I decided to keep 'Bianca' because she was a human who I tried to make embody the purity and goodness in humanity, as she was supposed to be an anti-hero who would help save the world from the Apocolypse. On it's own, Bianca means pure.

I still feel like Bianca Amara Moore is a perfect name that now matches the duality she is: a fallen celestial (fallen angel) who is the daughter of Asmodeus (an angel turned demon) and Seraphine (an archangel).
