#is this what i get for being with obey me since like 2019

[mimic-of-hysy]

how the fuck

HOW IN THE ACTUAL F U C K

[merakiui]

!!!! I didn't know you played obey me omg!!! That was like,, My Game for the longest time.

Barbatos my fave ever.... the babygirl.... he makes me ill. I started playing Obey Me (because of barb actually) long before I started Twst and it's what made me like Jade so much 😭 but I did already very much like butler-types. So he was doomed to a life of blorbo even before then.

My friend and I have a running joke actually that Barbatos and Jade are cousins. Because where else would Jade get it from lol

But that's really cool!! Rip Obey Me Original tho . I miss her everyday. They did her dirty with Nightbringer 😔

- :3 anon

Yes!!!! >w< I was obsessed with Obey Me when it was first released. Mammon had me in such a chokehold... ;;;; I can't believe it's been so much time since 2019. Σ(°ロ°)

I really liked Mammon, Satan, and Belphie the most. <3 my beloveds of all time. :D aaaa but now I see the appeal of Barbatos!!! He's really so wonderful. orz orz truly the cutest butler blorbo ever!! >w<

Jade and Barb being cousins omg...... :O they do have their similarities hehe. I wonder if they would try to out-butler the other if they were competing for the same darling. >:D

Aaaaa I haven't played Nightbringer and I don't know much about it, but I hope to finish the main story in Obey Me!!! I'm still very far behind. ;;;

Intro to Scouting for Nancy Drew Fans

i love to see Ace's Eagle Scout status come up in fics. Although it was almost a throw-away line, I think it informs Ace's character and fleshes out his backstory well, beyond just knowing knots and navigating the woods. But I see a lot of awkward phrasing, and I see a lot of missed opportunities to bring it up, and it got me wondering if a little primer would be helpful.

Things Ace could say: "I learned this in Boy Scouts." "My troop leader took us out here all the time." "This trail didn't go this way back when I was in Scouts." "Don't worry, they love me here--my eagle project was to clean up this beach." "Don't talk to me about Jared Spriggs-- I'll never forgive him for what he did to my derby car when I was 14."

Eagle Scout is a rank and an honor that he achieved, not a program he was in. The program is Boy Scouts of America (BSA). People familiar with the program will just say Boy Scouts or Scouts. After 100 years of only allowing boys to participate, the program became co-ed in 2019, so it's now called Scouts BSA, not Boy Scouts. Ace would have grown up in the program before then since he turned 18 in 2016.

If Ace started in scouting before he was 11, he would have been in Cub Scouts. At 11, he could move up to the scouting troop. There are ranks in scouting, tied to the number of merit badges you've earned. Eagle Scout is the top rank and must be achieved before the age of 18. It involves a certain number of merit badges, hours of volunteer work, and a main Eagle Scout Service Project that they must plan and execute themselves (with assistance from scout leaders and parents).

I think it highly likely that the Captain was a troop leader or otherwise involved in scouting, especially before his accident. I can see his mom stepping in as well- if I remember right, women could be pack leaders even before 2016.

Although most people work toward Eagle as 16-17 year olds, it's possible to achieve it earlier, especially if you're smart and committed like Ace. So his pot-smoking days could come after he earned Eagle and lost interest in Scouts, or they could coexist. Your call.

Although people assume scouting is about wilderness preparedness, the program's goal is to create well-rounded, responsible citizens. Ace would have the Oath and Law memorized.

Scout Oath

On my honor I will do my best

To do my duty to God and my country

and to obey the Scout Law;

To help other people at all times;

To keep myself physically strong,

mentally awake, and morally straight.

Scout Law

A Scout is: Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, Reverent

As you can guess, being Jewish might have been tricky for Ace in a program that's culturally Christian as many 20th century American institutions are. That'd also depend on what his troop was like--was there one troop for the whole town, or maybe his synagogue hosted a troop?

There's a Sea Scouts program. Where I'm from is landlocked so I don't know anything about it, but Horseshoe Bay or a nearby bigger town would definitely have Sea Scouting!

Lastly, here are the current Merit Badge categories: it covers a lot more than knots! Ace often gets into hacking in pre-series fics by hanging out at the library with his mom after school. But what if he was introduced to programming in Scouts? And I'm sure Florence helped him complete many merit badges.

Automotive Maintenance

Backpacking

Bird Study

Camping

Canoeing

Chemistry

Coin Collecting

Cooking

Digital Technology

Engineering

Fire Safety

First Aid

Fly-Fishing

Golf

Indian Lore

Insect Study

Journalism

Law

Mining in Society

Nuclear Science

Photography

Scouting Heritage

Skating (I know we never see him on a skateboard but come on)

Surveying

Sustainability

Swimming (the way Ace is built heavier in top looks like a competitive swimming shape in my experience!)

[leviathans-watching]

Hi! I really like your content, and I've been following you for a while but never done one of these before.

I was wondering if you had any tips for creating a writing blog?

thank you so much for the support! hopefully what I include is at least somewhat helpful!

first, i think it's important to note that a lot of my success comes from the circumstances surrounding the startup of my blog. i began to write for obey me during 2020, with my first work getting posted around may. this is important for two reasons: not only we're we in lockdown, leading to an insane increase in engagement from 2020-late 2022, but also since the game released in dec 2019, I was one of the first people to write for it, thus meaning I was filling a niche that had in increased demand. my point in this is to say that I attribute a lot of my success to these factors, and not necessarily to any actions that I took or inherent talent lol

also note that these tops are based in my experience and experience only, not in any science or data!

general tips:

don't expect to blow up overnight! i've been writing fanfiction since 2018 and i only started gaining traction in late 2020 haha. and in that time, don't be afraid to just throw stuff at the wall until you find something that sticks. set boundaries! if you get to a point where people are being demanding, unkind, leaving hate, asking for too much, doing anything to rub you the wrong way, shut it down. thankfully I've only had to do that like twice (as usually my followers are lovely and understanding), but it's important to remember this is your blog and your rules

writing tips:

play around with style, tone, themes, elements, etc until you find your groove. my works do span stylistically, thematically, plot-wise, etc, but commonly they're lighthearted and sweet, as I find that's what I like to write the best. find what you like to write the best! edit edit edit! once you're done writing, read through it once or twice to find typos/stuff you don't like, then when you move it from wherever you're writing (as I do not suggest writing in tumblr) look through it again as the new format and sizing will allow you to catch more. then, if you're still unsure, wait overnight and look through it again the next day before posting. but it's also not the end of the world to have typos if you get constructive criticism (given in a kind way ofc)... it's in your best interest to at least evaluate your work before deciding to take it or not. don't just dismiss it. reflection leads to improvement! when I first started writing I didn't even put dialogue into different paragraphs and without some nice comments who knows how long that might have lasted lol if you're struggling with writing block or can't seem to finish up a piece, give it a break. don't keep kicking a dead horse. I've had pieces that I start and don't come back to until like 9 months later lmfaooo

technical tips:

blogs that are centered around 1 (to 2) fandoms tend to do better. this is because ppl don't like to follow creators if there's also a bunch of random stuff appearing on their dash in between works. this is why I utilize sideblogs (i tend to post obey me and haikyu (to a lesser degree) on this one, and i have one for batman, one for another book series, and one for more personal poetry and stuff) a good and aesthetically pleasing layout is going to really go far. if you're blog and works look professional and attractive, they're going to pull people in. what this means is to come up with a blog theme/layout that is unique and fits the vibes of you and your writing, have a unique pfp (so not one of the of tumblr ones), and make sure your works are organized with a clear layout that's standard across your blog (this also helps create a 'blog identity'). feel free to look at mine for inspo obv or as you scroll through popular blogs/tags try to pick out elements that you'd like to incorporate. tagging is your best friend. i always start with the most important/broad ones (i.e. #obey me, #obey me game), then go into relevant relationships (i.e. #mammon x you, #mammon x mc), then characters (i.e. #mammon obey me, #obey me mammon), then anything else. this order can be changed if you have trigger warnings, which i'd say to put first. also, do not spam tag or tag thing's that aren't related in an effort to gain viability as that will actually make people less likely to engage. as with layout, try to standardize your process/blog specific tags so they create a 'blog identity' (such as my #leviawriting or #from: levi tags) be kind and interactive! if people leave you nice comments, respond to them! answer asks, have conversations, make new friends! this will make your experience much more fun and bring a lot of joy, and also make people want to talk to you

that's really all i can come up with right now! obviously if anyone has more tips feel free to tack them on and if you have questions send them my way!

Read this if you want to understand God and Satan

God is an all powerful and all knowing spiritual being who is Sonic the hedgehog.

If you want to study how God deals with the human race read the Bible. The old testament in bible details black history (jews are really black, not white, Judaism worships Lucifer). The new testament in bible talks about the teachings of Jesus Christ who is the son of God and what Jesus wants his followers (who he calls his brothers and sisters) to know and abide in his teachings.

This is all true. The world is ran by devil worshipping luciferians who dominate the Human population. If there are truly 8 billion people in the world, then there are 1 billion humans (who descended from Adam and Eve) and there are 7 billion non-human luciferians (who don't obey God, they obey the devil).

These luciferians pretend to be Christian and worship Jesus Christ but in reality they obey demons and the devil.

God of the universe who created the holy Bible, controls both the good and the evil.

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Isaiah 45:7 KJV

For example God made 9/11 happen and made two commercial airplanes knock down both twin towers, why did God do this.

God let the devil (Remember God controls good and evil, so therefore God controls the devil). God let the devil knock down both twin towers in New York with bombs and two airliners and he also bombed building seven.

Why did God let something as tragic as  9/11 happen. Because the people inside the twin towers were non-human luciferians. God wouldn't have let 9/11 happen if they were all real human beings created by God.

The Devil knows the bible better than of you luciferians (you are a luciferian if you are reading this post) since the devil knows the scriptures he knows everything I'm saying in this post and the Devil is a master deceiver and master liar.

If you have friends and family for example. Your friend and family can worship the devil and you will have no idea they worship the devil. Satan gets all of his powers from lying and deception.

Black Americans who were enslaved from 1600 all the way to 1850s are God's chosen people we are the true jews of Israel.

The white people you see in the country Israel they worship lucifer, read the Babylonian Talmud and you will discover they worship and glorify Lucifer. Also in the Talmud it says Jesus Christ was a bastard son of a Roman soldier and that mother Mary was a whore (Mary was a holy virgin mother of Jesus).

Remember most Christians are luciferians that worship the devil, they will never tell you the truth. It is impossible for someone to tell you the truth that they worship the devil. Non-human luciferians are all deceivers and liars, my own best friend that I knew for 7 years was a luciferian But I didn't know until God told me in August 2019 in a dream he worships the devil.

Ask God if someone close to you is a luciferian and he will tell you a In a dream in a indirect way. When God speaks to you in a dream he speaks to you in a dark parable or a dark speech. God makes his dreams like a puzzle you have to decipher with God's wisdom.

And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Habakkuk 2:2‭-‬3 KJV

When God gives you a vision (a dream)

You have to wait for something to happen in real life and wait until a appointed time and then the dream will make sense.

Sometimes you have to wait 5 years for a vision you got 5 years ago to make sense.

Only God can give you dreams, if you get nightmares (I've had plenty of nightmares) then God is trying to warn you of something, or God is trying to show how dark and evil something in your own personal life is.

🕯 My goodness, after I wrote yesterday's odd entry I got into a long conversation with someone. Remember coffee shop guy? Well, he saw me again and he seemed very happy/surprised to see me and asked if I was on holiday since he hadn't seen me around. There is a part of me that is comforted to think someone could be happy to see me. We got into a really long conversation after my client meeting over the phone, and we talked about dating in Southern California (especially as opposed to NYC where he used to live) and we talked about worldview, social issues, religion of course, and so on. We don't see eye to eye on so much, but we get along well and he likes me. I can tell he is bothered I haven't called/text him yet, but I told him I won't. I think in all honestly my lack of reaching out just makes him want me more and that coupled with I have my convictions and even though they are so opposite to him he likes that I have my own convictions.

Regardless, I won't call or text or go out for a drink with him (which is what he wants). He runs a non-profit, has produced documentaries, and is an author - he wants to invite me to events, but I just have no desire to give him false hope or be put in a situation where we are having a drink and things get too comfortable. I'm just not interested. Later in the evening I went to my small group from church and there are a few godly men there (in relationships, of course) and the striking difference of being around a man of the world and a man seeking the Lord convicted my heart a bit. Why am I allowing so much time and conversation with coffee shop guy? I feel like a part of it is my vanity: I like feeling wanted, someone who likes me, enjoys hearing my thoughts. It feels good. This is so wrong of me though. He's not budging on his beliefs, I've tried to share with him things and he knows where I stand, but he is not budging so it's not like I feel I need to converse about him more about Christ (again, NOT into missionary dating. Plus I just don't like him in the sense of dating, even if he was a Christian I wouldn't date him - he's attractive and charming, but not my kind of attractive). So, I need to address in my heart this issue of vanity of wanting to be wanted even if it is from a non-believer. I know my weaknesses, I hope and pray we all know our weaknesses.

The worst part about my heart though, the part that I can cry just even as I get ready to share here, is that I still desire/miss/want my winemaker friend. I know I have spoken of M before. I miss him. Which is kind of weird because he could be so nice and sweet to me, then such an uncaring cold person. What is it in the heart of a woman that we desire the untouchable/the emotionally unavailable? Is it the challenge? The type of love we didn't receive from fathers? I don't know, I just know I have not gotten over him since meeting him in July 2019. I was recently re-watching Poldark (one of my favorite shows) and I realized how much Aidan Turner (my favorite actor ever, first adored him in The Hobbit many years ago) looks like M and even so similar in actions and personality. It was crazy and made me wonder if that was one of many reasons I fell so hard for M (oh dear), so many similarities. I had to stop watching the show, it's just too painful. What will it take for me to finally move on from M?! We last spoke in June and I told him I had to cut ties, no more contact. He wasn't happy about it, he said he wanted to be there for me, but he acquiesced and understood. We both understand. I want love and marriage, he is in his own world with no one he has opened it up to. He doesn't love me, he is not in love with me, I am just someone he enjoys and he is attracted to. I am not the one to him. So it is foolish for me to leave the door open, even though I love him in spite of all of the glaring truths. I am not cut out for modern dating, this modern world. I don't fit in, at all. I have no desire to.

I pray to obey well, and not just pray to, but actually obey. From the heart. I don't know if I am right now, I feel like I am putting up an internal fight.

[aztsha-at4am]

Hello and welcome!

Hey, what's up? Welcome to my tumblr page. I'm putting an introduction here in the small occasion that I just *might* post some of my written works. Highly unlikely after the embarrassment of wattpad, though T-T

Interests

TEARS OF THEMIS is my current obsession, I've been playing since it came out globally. My favourites are Luke and Marius, but I like Marius just a teensy bit more.

MYSTIC MESSENGER is something I've liked for a long while, I just can't seem to get rid of it LMAO Anyways, 707 >>>

OTHER OTOMES I ♡ INCLUDE...Dangerous Fellows, Mayday Memory (I love it so much) , Obey Me (I still can't decide on a favourite and it's been two years😭) , My Horse Prince , The Prison Boys (not an otome, still great tho) , and uhh that's all I remember so far LMAO

I love to go out, whether it be for a walk, trip to the mall, grocery shopping or even for a trip. Travelling is what I will always look forward to. I feel unproductive when just sitting in my room all day, doing almost nothing. I hate it👊

I LOVE, LIKE ABSOLUTELY ADORE Costco soup dumplings. They are so good, I could eat them for the rest of my LIFE if I had to.

Lightning round! ⚡️

I've watched ANIME for years! Current favourites are Fruits Basket 2019 and Spy x Family. I'm loving the manga for Toilet Bound right now, and I can never get enough of Hak from Yona of the Dawn.

KOREAN DRAMAS always got me kicking my legs, dramatic romances know how get to me! Current favourites include Doom At Your Service, Strong Woman DBS, and Meteor Garden 2018 (Yes I'm aware it's chinese but I still love all the drama that happened even if it was extremely unnecessary🤭) .

KPOP is my go to music genre, the groups I usually listen to are SEVENTEEN , TXT, BTS, RED VELVET, and STAYC.

I also like JPOP/VOCALOID , no favourite artists though! I love the songs Kagerou Daze, Additional Memory and Bug.

I love RHYTHM GAMES , they are my ride or die video game. I've played BanG Dream! , Project Sekai (both jpn and eng) , Osu, Cytoid (does anyone even know this?😭) and ofc, Piano Tiles.

I love playing Roblox Horror Games even if I tell my friend to go first, it's scary but the only kind of roblox game I find amusing (probably bc we're screaming while shitting our pants? /j )

I like ur mom

Might add more, cause there is way more things I like but I'll probably just do that if I ever post anything. Ure probs never gonna see this again so bye bye👋

Edit: This is extremely outdated, but updating it will take too long💀 So um. Yeah but if I'm being completely honest I think I might post on here..who knows🏃‍♀��🏃‍♀️

IF I ENDED UP posting some of my writing, then below should be my masterlist? If there isn't then nothing to see here!

Animedia Sep 2021 Issue Obey Me translation HIS ‘N HER ICING ON THE CAKE

Animedia Sep 2021 Obey Me translation feat. Beelzebub, Belphegor

(on sale Aug 2021)

The demon who loves to eat and the demon who love to sleep: Trained in both ice-cream and love!

How would you describe Beelzebub as an ice cream flavour? Belphegor: Beel will be a Devil Crush Mango Soda flavour. Both could be similar in their refreshing feeling. Even though it's soda water, the taste is not too strong; Beel is similar in a way too, where he's actually calm despite his appearance. How would you describe Belphegor as an ice cream flavour? Beelzebub: Light Snowfall Vanilla. I feel the same way when I eat this ice cream as I do when I'm with Belphie. It has a gentle taste and smell that makes me feel very blessed when I eat it.

Tell Us About It! Ice Cream Memories

If you were to compare the other brothers to an ice cream flavour, what would they be? Beelzebub: I think of Lucifer as being Hell Coffee flavoured and Mammon as being Dull Chocolate flavoured. Both of them are bitter at first but have a sweet aftertaste, and I think they are like Lucifer, who is sometimes strict but kind, and Mammon, who is not always honest but is willing to help somehow.

Belphegor: Will that be an overstatement? Levi is a dark caramel latte because of his strong characteristics, and Asmo is a rainbow sorbet because of how flashy he is.  And Satan is definitely popping cheese.

Beelzebub: Because of the crackling?

Belphegor: Yes. It's like a surprise when you eat it. It's fitting for Satan, who is normally a smart guy but can suddenly lose his temper. So, please tell us about your memories related to ice cream. Beelzebub: I think it was me eating popsicles at Devil's Coast. If I won, I would get a T-shirt with the mascot character, Devil Cat, but I never got any... Belphegor: Oh, yes, we did. All of us ate two popsicles each. I think Beel ate about 20.

Beelzebub: I was so happy that everyone was there to help me to get a chance to win. What about you, Belphie?

Belphegor: Remember the homemade ice cream that Simeon gave to everyone before? Do you remember the big fight we had when Mammon ate all of mine? Beelzebub: Oh. At first he said it was your fault for not eating it sooner, but since Belphie didn't talk to him for three weeks, he made a replacement ice cream as an apology.

Belphegor: Indeed. It was very salty ice cream, though. Well, he seemed to be remorseful, so I forgave him.

Beelzebub: I'm glad it became a fond memory for you, Belphie.

Belphegor: It's not like that. It's just that I enjoyed seeing Mammon's face like a large dog being scolded.

Interview with The Obey Me! Team

Q: Please give us your honest impressions about the anime that has finally started to be broadcasted. We are most surprised by this development, which was unthinkable when we released the game for the English market in 2019. We're looking forward to seeing the daily lives of the brothers in action, but at the same time, we're worried about how the audience will perceive it, since it's going to be a far cry from the so-called otome game anime (laughs). Q: What were some of the things you paid attention to and focused on when creating the anime? We'd like to thank Colored Pencil Animation Japan for the attention they paid to the artwork......! The characters' facial expressions and movements are, of course, wonderful, but the backgrounds, which include parts you can't see in the game, are also wonderful, so we hope you will enjoy watching them as well. Q: The anime depicts a different daily life from the main story in the game. How did you decide on the content and theme of the story? Scriptwriter MoriMasa, Katsuya Kitano, anime producer Bunjiro Eguchi, and Obey Me! team members meet together to decide the general content of each episode. We would suggest a theme for the episode (for example, "We want Leviathan to cosplay!" for episode 2). For the content, MoriMasa and his team came up with a lot of interesting ideas. I remember laughing so hard I cried when I read the first draft of the story, wondering what kind of life I'd lived to come up with something like Ruri-chan's signature phrase (lol). Q: The game was released overseas before it was released in Japan. Is there any difference between the overseas version and the Japanese version? There is almost no difference in content. We have been making games for the English audience for a long time, so we focused on localizing the game for the English audience from the stage of creating the story and characters. By releasing the game as it was for Japan, we believe that in a way, the game has a fresh feel to it. Q: What do you think is the appeal of "Obey Me!", including the game and anime? In the past, we thought the biggest appeal was the concept of "being able to get close to the characters". In addition to this, I feel that "Obey Me!" has the appeal of "growing content". Since its release, I have felt that everyone involved in the Obey Me! project has been growing as a result of the active opinions of exchange students from around the world about Obey Me! Q: Last but not least, please give a message to your fans. Thank you very much for your support. Our goal is to have exchange students from all over the world say, "It's fun every day because of Obey Me!" I would like to continue to expand the world of "Obey Me!" through games, animation, and various other projects. Please continue to enjoy the life of the 7 demon brothers with peculiar personalities, and the lively demons, angels, and humans that surround them as they study in the Devildom! Bonus Q: Please tell us about the points you pay attention to when drawing Beelzebub and Belphegor, and the areas you are particular about. When Belphegor is with his brothers, his cunning look often stands out, but when he is with Beelzebub, he shows his innocence to him. Perhaps it is these twins who best express the subtle differences in the emotional distance between siblings.

[pinkpruneclodwolf]

Pinkpruneclodwolf doing more big brain things.Do I see Heartslbry dorm character analysis in the future.May I ask a free questions about your takes.You can skip any you don't feel like answering.

1-What got you in to Twst

2-You is your favorite character or dorm(or event (

3-Any unpopular opinions.

4-Spicey or sweet

5-How to feel about grim

6-What frustration do you have with the game

7-Are you following the manga(or are you reading any manga or anime)

8-Do you have any other games you recommend?

9-Do you think Yuu got more agency over the last chapters.

Have a good day.And thank you for your content.

I think what got me into twst was def was in 2019, I was on YouTube and I saw this video Otome Ayui I think translating twst and I was hooked okay then @broken-synchronicity came thru with Lost in Translation and it was over for me okay

I did have a lil hiatus in 2020 to late 2021 (I'm talking around May) and I honestly wasn't planning on being so active but something shifted as soon as I posted my lil story.

My fave dorm is Savanaclaw, yes I'm pulling an Epel, but it needs to be said bc Ruggie is by far my fave character there bc he just resonates with me.

An unpopular opinion of mine would have to be a whole post within itself but I'll give two:

Sebek's very much heavily mischaracterized because of his slow development which i chalk up to him being part fae, he's very arrogant towards those who he doesn't respect and his human peers which ends up distancing him from the first years (which is why Vil calls him a Cucumber instead of a potato)

And two: Trey is actually terrifying. Like he's in the leagues with Jade and Rook bc so many ppl over look his sadism in favor of him being the perfect lil male wife when it's been shown that he does get irritated/uncomfortable with people being too dependent on him— mostly because he's got that "average guy" thing that Jamil has going on but we at least know that's not the case for snake boy.

But if he's so average, how did he get accepted into a school of villains?

Uhhh, sweet, which why I side eye Sebek and Trey sometimes.

Pacing. The pacing of Savanaclaw and overall wonky writing still makes me upset since Octavinelle, Scarabia, and Pomefiore (ignihyde hasn't finished so I cannot say) were all somewhat cohesive, some theorize that Savanaclaw isn't truly over but.....

I'll probably rwork my own lil Savanaclaw fix it but for now It'll remain in the drafts.

I don't really play phone games as much as I wished to (i haven't logged into fgo in a whole month and I just uninstalled obey me to free up space for twst). Subway surfers is always a safe choice tho.

I absolutely think Yuu has more agency this time around, and I'm glad to see it. I wonder where Chap 6 will take this new found energy or if its just until Yuu gets Grim back—

Also, I really enjoy Grim, he's the cat son I wish I had, very much a baby and reminds me of my lil sis. I'm hoping to see character growth tho, can't have the Great Grim learn nothing after all.

Thank you so much for the interview, I hope you remain in good health and grace during these times.

[rsmrymnt-tea]

「 🐳 」 hello! i haven't forgotten about your response—i was unfortunately hit with a series of ✧˖˚ unfortunate events ˚˖✧ (yes... pun intended for the sake of lightheartedness <3) shortly after the response, and i needed time to recover. i've decided to join you along the ride for the obm asks!

1.) how did you first get into obey me? personally, i was playing swd games for quite some time before obey me was released in december of 2019, so once i saw an ad for it i told myself, “well! another silly otome game from them to pass the time”, ahh i was so wrong with just how much flavor it had in all of it's terrible, atrocious glory.

satan was the first one to cause me to go into a miserable spiral once i had a revelation of what his birth actually meant, and thus, began spewing my silly little analyses to the small fandom at the time. i no longer go on longer tangents about satan as much as i do solomon (and recently, mephistopheles due to how noble his values are and how little people seem to realize it), but if i dare see someone in favor of obsessive cat-lover satan i have no issues with bashing their head against a digital brick wall and arguing that he is the least likely of the brothers to be obsessive over anything that falls into that category.

16.) what is your intimacy level with each character? i've often gotten a lot of teasing remarks from friends for my levels, but,

lucifer — 25

mammon — 17

leviathan — 20

satan — 34

asmodeus — 18

beelzebub — 19

belphegor — 20

diavolo — 15

barbatos — 22 (slowly but surely making his way up there)

luke — 14 (i am so sorry you are below diavolo, dearest luke)

“i wonder who their favorite is” gee guys thanks i do whatever i can for the sake of my mc's lore ♡ thank you very much /lh

as always, feel free to include dolasach for whatever reason you feel like if something i said reminded you of her hehe~

Whale nonnie!!! So good to see you!! I'm glad that you got to bounce back from whatever happened to you!! I hope it wasn't too bad and that you're fully okay now >w<

Oml the first question though

1. how did you first get into obey me?

THE WEDDING EVENT oough man I don't even recall how I ended up watching videos of the wedding event but I did and Satan's pulled me in so bad that I downloaded the game >.< flavor in the midst of atrocity is such a good way to describe the game dfhkdfg

Also??? Nonnie now I'm curious if I've ever seen your posts omg? I feel like you'd have such good posts on all three... I've got this feeling that I've probably seen a Satan post or that a Mephisto post of yours helped him rise up my ranks >.<

And I feel you so much on thinking he wouldn't really obsess over anything that simple, even more so to the point of it clouding his judgement and rendering him useless in important moments... Just so counter to the core of his character that aspires towards being well-rounded and useful? Anyway I'm trying to stay mostly positive here hdsdfg

16. what is your intimacy level with each character?

GOSH I had to check...

Lucifer - 24

Mammon - 11

Leviathan - 17

Satan - 33

Asmo - 16

Beel - 16

Belphie - 23

Diavolo - 18

Barbatos - 25

Solomon - 31 (only because it took forever to get a Solomon UR I liked the art of, otherwise he'd be the same as Satan lmao probably higher since you can actually get big hearts with him without gifts...)

Simeon - 23

Luke - 2 (dsfjkhsdf sorry I just never use any Luke cards and using him in Jobs feels weird bc ykno... child labor >.>;;)

Surprisingly representative of how much I enjoy their character...? Except that every brother + Simeon needs to be higher than the royals sdhfkjg Barb's bday UR is just too pretty to not use...

Nonnie I feel you with needing the levels for more lore... The calls!! I need the calls!! But it takes sooo fucking long to grind for intimacy

I feel like each time you drop by I get more and more shocked and curious about who you might be... I'm still listening a lot to the playlist you sent and each time I hear Bird Song I think about you suggesting it and what you said about Dola shdkfhdsfg insane really....

Obey Me! One Master to Rule Them All! Headcanon #20 pt. 1

Thank you so much @nomnomcupcakesworld for the ask! ^^

So to be honest, I first knew about Corpse because I watched Jacksepticeye play among us and Corpse was in the videos. So this is my second exposure to Corpse through his music... wow, that was a journey. But then again, I also think Marc Rebillet’s music is also a journey. Both in the best way. (May just f*ck around and do a Marc Rebillet part to this.)

Now, this will be featuring a chaotic, deep-voiced MC. Also this will be my last Obey Me HC for this year, and then I shall come back stronger in 2021!

Lucifer: He is just minding his own paperwork when he hears a deep bass beat going throughout the house. And someone was singing some sultry lyrics in a very deep voice. He thought he had confiscated the karaoke machine after Levi’s anime marathon of 2019. He was going to give a piece of his mind to whomever was singing, until he found it coming from your room... first it was WAP, now this... he opens the door and he sees you dancing around you room while singing along to the song, he didn’t know your voice could go that low, and then there were the lyrics. He didn’t know how much more he could take of this, it was like you were sending signals to him, and he could only hold himself back for so long, so he knocked on the doorway, and caught your attention. “It seems I’m going to have to soundproof your room one of these days.” You both look at each other, and you just get this smirk and he just blushes, realizing what he said and in the context of the song... “... Nevermind, just turn the music down.” Lucifer turned to leave, closing the door, and going back to his room, blushing more as he worked his way into a mouthpalm position at his desk.

Mammon: He’s walking up to your room with his latest shenanigan when he heard the song start. He opened the door as you started singing, he was expecting any voice but this voice, it was like a death metal rapper, and he was kinda into it, especially with the lyrics. He started dancing to it with you, making sure to close the door. When the song goes was over, he asked to replay the song but louder, he would never admit that he wants to go down on you to his song, especially if you were wearing knee high boots at the time.

Leviathan: An absolute Corpse Husband Stan. He loves the music and his videos, sometimes listens to his scary story videos on spooky nights or during spooky games that he doesn’t livestream. He hears the songs start and recognizes it immediately. He jumps out of his chair and runs down to your room, bursting through the door and sees you singing with a deep voice just like Corpse, Levi won’t say it, but he’s in love. He tries to record you doing it, but totally forgot to hit record because... you sound just like Corpse... but then he realizes that you’re singing the lyrics and he goes completely red and tries to escape without alerting you... but he does know he burst through the door, right?

Satan: He is wondering what you were up to this time. He goes and he sees you shaking your butt to this song and singing along. He is into it until the daddy issues part and then the luka magnotta part. That verse was hard, but he remembers there was a huge surge of cats that appeared in the Devildom all of a sudden in 2012, and now it just ruined this moment. He quietly closes the door and remembers... he has someone he has to visit... someone he’s been meaning to visit... since 2012...

Asmodeus: This kinky boi... He is into this, through and through. And he absolutely loves your deep voice, thinks it’s sexy as hell. He asks how you get your voice to be so low and loud at the same time, but poor boy can’t get his voice down enough. You can catch both you and him singing this during breakfast, harmonizing of course cause Asmo can go down to only a certain pitch.

Beelzebub: Is fascinated by this song, and he wants to learn the lyrics so he can sing it with you. It takes a few, several tries and listens to this song until he gets the lyrics down and then you said to bring out the bass in his voice. You both were an even match as far as bass range went, after all, Beel is still a growing demon. But you both are soon softly stomp dancing down the halls singing this song in the middle of the night during fridge raids, so as to not wake anyone up.

Belphegor: “CHOKE ME LIKE YOU HATE ME BUT YOU LOVE ME!” Was all he was fixated on when he heard you singing in your deep voice. After being impressed with how deep you could make your voice, he started smirking at the lyrics he heard. All while he was sleeping in the attic, and you were just vibing next to him on the bed. You apologize for waking him up, and he would forgive you if he could choke you like he hated you but he loved you.

Diavolo: He finds himself seeing you singing this song while walking through the halls of RAD. He stops you and asks what you were singing. So you only did the natural thing, you took him to the student council room and played it for him aloud, and began to sing along with good pitch and lyrical precision. Diavolo is fascinated by it, though doesn’t really know what the lyrics mean. You begin to explain the context and he a red faced, but not horrified. He laughs at the daddy issues part because... ✨R E L A T E S✨. You can find Diavolo shocking Lucifer by singing lyrics from the song. Lucifer knows you had something to do with it and glares as you walk by, hiding a grin.

Barbatos: He has already heard it from Diavolo and figured it was you. He advises not to sing it during formal events. But when you visit the castle, he caught you stomp dancing down the halls of the castle, singing the song, and he was amazed at your vocal range, the only person he heard go that bassy was Diavolo when he was truly angry, and Lucifer. Kind of imagines him grabbing onto your chains while... erm... my apologies...~

Solomon: Big Corpse Fan here, he hears you singing it and he instantly got excited, starting to sing it with you. You both start making up your own duet dance to the song and end up going viral on Deviltube, heck, Levi wants to join in on the choreography and dance with you guys! Of course, you both have solo freestyle parts in the song, and you both do Rock Paper Scissors on who gets to dance on Corpse’s verse, and who gets to dance to Savage Ga$p’s verse. You somehow win Corpse’s part best 5 out of 7.

Simeon: He saw you walking down the street with your headphones in, and caught you in a Corpse mood. He was about to tap your shoulder and say hi, but then you started singing the song and he just stopped in his tracks, imagine surprised Pikachu face with a bit of anime blush, that would be Simeon at that moment as you walked away, a deep voice with those lyrics... he was so glad Luke wasn’t with him on his walk. Wait... Luke was at the market, which was in the direction where you’re going... how long was the song you were singing? No-!

Happy New Year everyone! See you next year~! ^^

[nightswithkookmin]

You mentioned jk "witholding" his affection for jimin and how it would be jimin's request? 1. I guess it's hightime you accepted that, everyone noticed it last year and it wasn't a hot and cold situation either, it was full on nonchalance. 2. JM would never ask that of him. Never. The same way he wouldn't ask JK to tone down his interactions with other members, he wouldn't ask him to publicly not care for him. JK makes choices and when people don't like them, suddenly those choices are JM's?

Me trying to sneak past this Ask. Lol

I just don't know what to do with it honestly. I mean I don't think you are being rude or anything. But I also don't know what to do with it....

I guess it's hightime you accepted... it was full on nonchalance.

I'm not sure if this is in reference to JK not posting for Jimin on his birthday or the moment on the couch in the Grammy reaction video.

Because only one of those two instances is up for debate where I'm concerned. I think I have said several times now that from time to time JK does switch off his humanity around Jimin and the others. It's weird. You'd think he lost his daylight ring or summin. Lol.

And I think I have said that's exactly what he did on the couch in the Grammy reaction video?

And I said that's not the only time he's done that? I think I mentioned how he did the same in Soop when they were playing sport at midnight and he shoved Jimin?

I mean it's a whole meme now.

RM: Keep ya eyes on the ball.

JK:

Lol.

It's the why he behaves like this is in certain moments that is up for debate most times I think. And I think it all depends on the context, setting and a whole other factors.

So yes, I agree he was 'nonchalant' in that moment on the couch. I think that's a fact not an opinion or theory. I don't think anyone is disputing that.

And since you didn't state any theory to counter my theory on that moment or explain why you think he was being nonchalant on the couch in that moment- unless you meant to say you believe he was nonchalant because he doesn't care about Jimin; I'm just going to assume you meant he was full on nonchalant in not posting for Jimin's birthday and to that my response is-

I think it's hightime you accepted JK doesn't hate Jimin.

This guy? Jeon Jungkook? You tried it. Lol.

I understand if you don't think Jikook are a couple and your comment is just to ridicule persons such as myself who believe they are a couple.

But I think it's a free world and I have the right to believe whatever I want to believe and I believe Jikook is real not because I believe them to be real but because they are real. Period blank purr.

'Jikook gay' 'Jikook married' lol.

You mentioned how JK withholding his affections for JM and how it will be JM's request. JM will never ask that of him:

First of all, I agree with you because I never said that. What I did say was JK not posting for Jimin on JM's birthday and how that would have been at JM's request.

I think you took that bit out of context.

For context that bit alludes to my theory on Jm's birthday saga and the subsequent seemingly less publicly displayed affections between them in the aftermath- from the Be official promos to the hits 97.3 interview straight to the Grammy reaction video and the Grammy VLive itself.

I think my general theory on all of that has been that Jikook was required to be 'professional' throughout the Be era because that project was a personal project for and by all 7 and Jikook couldn't monopolize the shine like they tend to do in official BigHit content- a theory I still stand by.

I think it's long been established that BTS since time immemorial would rather Jikook be kept a secret and have had moments where they had actively tried to neutralize, cover up and even physically stop Jikook from doing certain things that could potentially expose their relationship.

JK hugging JM at Mama 2019 being high on that list and the 2020 September 1st Vlive being the climax of such moments as their neutralization tactic had directly resulted in the entire fandom questioning the truthfulness of Jimin's utterances made that day concerning JK, with some crazy fans going as far as to call Jimin dishonest and a liar.

I fail to see how this same group would not find JK posting on JM's birthday objectionable. Especially since Jk hadn't posted for any member in a year. I said I felt JK posting for JM on his birthday would have been tantamount to outing their relationship and that wouldn't have sat well with the group including Jimin.

I also said, and it's a known fact, JK gives zero fucks about others' opinions of him and wouldn't mind at all posting for JM if it's something he really wanted to do. The decision then would be Jimin's to make because JK cannot out their relationship without his permission.

And I don't think Jimin would ask JK to out their relationship in that way. Not if it went against the interest and collective will of the group. He is the one who brought up the members complaining about JK not buying them presents on their birthdays during festa in the first place.

He is equally the same person who run to JK to inform him Jin wasn't too happy with him choosing JM's bag over his bag.

I don't think it's far fetched for me or anyone to think JM would actually worry about how JK posting for his birthday and not for the other members' on theirs would make them look bad or how that will impact the feelings of the members.

I don't think it's far fetched for me to think JM would worry about the backlash JK would have received from toxic fans and antis in the aftermath of such incident had JK actually gone through with it and posted just for him and not the others.

As for that Grammy reaction moment, like I said, I feel Jikook are required to keep things on a low and be professional in certain contents post dynamite era- for whatever reason.

If you think about the trouble, the hustle the members went through to try to keep Jikook a secret and not make their BB VLive about Jikook- the omissions and choppy narration that marked that Billboard VLive, I don't think it's a stretch to assume they had asked Jikook to 'keep it professional' in that Grammy video too, to not give fans reasons to make that moment about their relationship.

And if that was the directive given, by their peers nonetheless, then I think the choice would have fallen on JK and JM to obey it or not. And again, I believe the only reason JK will obey such directive is if JM wanted him to.

The fact JM was super excited and instinctively turned to hug JK but stopped himself and sat his ass right back down speaks his obedience to me and the fact he later decided to throw caution to the wind and go to his man for his hug but for the knee that got in his way- that speaks defiance to me.

Jimin can be bold and defiant sometimes...

Now I'm not going to share my thoughts on JK in this conversation because I don't want to come across as 'defending him' and making excuses for him- which is something I get accused off most of the time...

So now I ask you, do you still think all this is a stretch?

JK MAKES CHOICES AND WHEN PEOPLE DON'T LIKE IT SUDDENLY IT'S JM'S CHOICE?

This... this right here.

I see what you mean and I get it. But how are you gonna say Jikook are a couple but then not expect them to act like a couple, make decisions like a couple, make choices for eachother as a couple or even expect us to treat them as a couple?

I don't understand.

'Jimin and I will sleep here'

Listen, I am a Jikooker. A KookMiner. I never think of Jikook as separate units. It's not in my vocabulary. I think and see them as a unit, a couple- one and the same. You are me. I am you. JM is Jk, JK is JM.

If JK makes decisions and choices, yes they are JM's decisions and choices too. If the members refer to them as a unit why shouldn't I?

That being said, I get what you mean. JM is always being scapegoated in this fandom. People will always look for an excuse to jump on him and I don't think that's right.

But I also don't think that is what I am doing here simply because there is no blame to assign in this situation. I keep saying JM's needs are as valid as JK's needs. JM is not wrong for his needs and neither is JK.

Couples do take eachothers needs into consideration when making choices and decisions. I don't think JK will make a decision of this nature without taking JM's needs into consideration.

I don't think he will 'nonchalantly' not post for Jimin without taking JM's needs into consideration.

Not after this.

'Jimin I'm sorry. You know my heart'

I think Jimin knows JK's intentions more than anyone. More than me, more than you.

At the end of the day, your opinion is your opinion. You are entitled to it as I am to mine.

Or maybe I missed the point of your Ask? I don't know but I hope this answers your question. Stay safe. Purple hearts.

Signed,

GOLDY

Draco regretted several moments in his life, some within his control, some without: all of them irretrievable in nature. At a certain point, wedged between ‘what-ifs’ of his own devising, he’d stopped trying to keep track of those regrettable moments: now and then, pushing and pulling, coming and going, beginning and end. Moments were only moments for just as long. After that, he had no control.

Honor Code fiasco was actually indication of a step forward

TL;DR

Gay dating isn’t an Honor Code violation, it is just contrary to the spirit of the Honor Code

Gay relationships are now the same as a straight person married but not sealed to their spouse

————————————————————

I don’ t think our leaders would put it the way I did above, but I think these are perfectly reasonable ways of understanding the changes they made.

I think a recap of what’s happened will support my interpretation.

1)  In April 2019, Elder Oaks announced, “the immoral conduct in heterosexual or homosexual relationships will be treated in the same way.”

2)  In February 2020, the Church released the new General Handbook with changes on how the Church treats gay sex and relationships. The Handbook makes clear the Church does not see gay marriages as legitimate marriages, thus they’re on the same level as opposite-sex couple cohabitate without being married. “Same-sex relationships” and “same-sex marriage” no longer require a membership council, they are demoted to “Membership Council May Be Necessary” category. Still not great but better than before. 

3) To be in line with the new General Handbook, the Church Education System (CES) removed the section of the BYU Honor Code that was titled “Homosexual Behavior.” It had forbidden “all forms of physical intimacy that give expression to homosexual feelings.”

4)  The BYU Honor Code office determined gay students can hold hands and kiss and date, same as any other student.

5)  Two weeks later on March 4th, a statement from Elder Johnson, commissioner of the Church Education System (CES), said that since “same-sex romantic behavior cannot lead to eternal marriage and is therefore not compatible with the principles of the Honor Code.” This is homophobic since it only applies to LGBT students & their activities even though there’s many situations where straight people can get married but it not be an eternal marriage.

6) This sounded like a reversal back to the previous Honor Code standard and triggered protests on campus in Provo and Rexburg, and at the Church Office Building in Salt Lake City.

7)  The “Homosexual Behavior” section of the Honor Code was not added back. Students who are signing their name to obey the Honor Code are signing a document without those restrictions. I wonder if this means students don’t get in trouble for this anymore? How can the school hold them to rules that aren’t in the document they signed?

8) In the General Handbook, only “sexual relations” and “same-sex marriage” are included as possible problems. Dating, kissing, and so forth are not mentioned.  

—————————

The recent Rainbow Day to mark the anniversary of the CES letter “clarifying” the Honor Code got me thinking. 

That letter says same-sex relationships aren’t acceptable because they don’t lead to eternal marriage. However, there’s plenty of relationships the Church doesn’t punish which aren’t eternal marriage, and I think we’ll see gay relationships more & more as the same as those. 

One example is a women who is sealed to a deceased husband. She can remarry even though she isn’t sealed to her 2nd husband. Another example would be a straight Church member who is married to a non-member spouse.

The new classification in the Handbook that membership councils aren’t required for “same-sex relationships” and “same-sex marriage” but leaves it up to local leaders. No longer are same-sex relations talked of as repugnant or sinful, they’re the same as straight relationships except the Church doesn’t recognize our marriages and thus we can’t be sealed together. 

We may find leaders who are willing to give a pass altogether to disciplining people in gay relationships. And with time, I can imagine more-and-more leaders treating these the same as straight members in an un-sealed marriage.

Pseudo Princess Pt.20

A King’s Cottage

12/20/2019

Pairing: King!Steve x Reader          Word Count: 5,881

Warnings: fluff, cute Peter Parker, smut, subtle trauma flashbacks

A/N: A lot has happened since I last posted a chapter. I lost my desire to write ever again for a bit and it was hard to come back from that. I hope you enjoy this new chapter. It was really very difficult to finish it but once I pushed through it all just came tumbling out. Thank you for being so patient with me. It means a lot to me. All of you mean so much to me and I hope that I haven’t disappointed y’all too much.

“Have you got everything?” Nat is fussing. She’s unpacked your trunks several times, checking them over again and again.

Three formal gowns, just in case. Almost ten casual gowns. Soft and free flowing like the white one you tend to favor. All of them had been newly commissioned for you. Two tiaras were put in a smaller locked chest, again, just in case.

You liked the more casual dresses. You didn’t want this time alone with Steve to be all formality and duty.

Your marriage may have begun as such, but you hope that truly, your marriage is one of love now. You want to know him the best. Knowing you the best is something you hope he wants too.

It feels as if a new chapter has begun in your life and you cannot be more grateful.

“Nat,” You sigh, watching her unpack your gowns for the fourth time.

“Should I get you more nightdresses?” She asks herself quietly.

“Nat!” You call a little louder.

She looks at you, her emerald eyes far away in thought.

“What?” She asks, finally focusing on you.

“You don’t have to worry. I have everything I need.” You promise her, but she frowns at you.

“What if something happens?”

“Let her go.” Grandmother’s stern voice cuts in from behind you, sitting by the window in one of your tea table cushioned seats. “It’s time they reconnected.”

“Yes, but…with her Majesty’s pregnancy-”

“She will be in safe hands. As you very well know. His Majesty the King is not one to cross and is more than capable of protecting his beloved wife.” The old woman argues, her gravelly voice somehow strong despite her age. “The Queen’s cottage is in King’s Peace. No one would dare disturb them there.”

Nat frowns and you know that she’s thinking about Hydra and their lack of worry with upholding rules of honor.

Hydra won’t care that the cottage is in King’s Peace. They’ll invade if they so please and if you’re honest, you’re terrified. You know that Steve is strong. He’s large and his muscles are hard, his body built out of marble…but he’s only a man. He couldn’t take on six men if they stormed the cottage.

What if it were nine men? Thirteen? He’d die trying to protect you and your child.

“Maybe-?” You begin, worry turning you blood to ice.

“Don’t you worry that pretty head of yours, my dear.” Grandmother orders, getting up and wagging her finger at you. “Take your tonic at the end of the night. Eat a hearty breakfast. If you are tired, sleep. If you are hungry, eat. And if his Majesty should give you a command, obey should it concern your safety. Your priority is that baby you’ve got growing in your belly. Are we clear?”

You consider the old woman for a long moment, weighing your life against Steve’s and you know that if you had to choose it would always be Steve. You’d save him if you could.

With the little one in your tummy however, you know that you’d run and leave him to be slaughtered if Steve ordered you to do so.

Sadly, you nod.

“Don’t worry, my dear.” Grandmother closes the space between you and gently caresses your cheek. “Nothing shall happen. You will go, spend a month with his Majesty, and be back before you know it. Back to duty and regulation.”

Well, that doesn’t sound nice at all.

You frown. Grandmother cackles.

“Farewell, my dear. Safe travels. And do yourself a favor, enjoy yourself. Not everyone can marry his Majesty Steve Rogers.” She winks at you.

“Grandmother,” You gasp, mouth dropping open at her playfully suggestive words.

She moves from the room, chuckling happily. “Come along, Lady Romanoff. His Majesty will not tarry for much longer.”

Natasha moves to grab one of your trunks. “Peter?”

“I’m coming.” Peter declares, running in and easily grabbing the two other trunks then moving with them towards the door.

“I wish I were coming with you.” Nat laments.

“You will be. Just two weeks behind.” Steve wouldn’t deprive you of Nat for too long but he is adamant on spending some alone time with you and, if you’re honest? You want it to be just the two of you as well.

“Who will dress you? Who will make your baths? Who will hold your hair up when you get sick?” She worries.

“Nat,” You begin, chuckling slightly. “I grew up in a village where I had to hunt my own food. Preparing my own bath will not kill me, nor will dressing myself. As for tending to me when I’m sick-"

“That’s what I’m there for.”

The familiar deep tone comes from the doorway and both you and Nat turn to look.

Steve stands, dressed in dark trousers, his navy tunic over his usual white linen shirt. Through his arm he has two cloaks, one deep almost blood red with silver stitching along the hem. The other a chocolate brown with gilded thread for embellishment.

What catches you off guard is the bright face that stares at you. The trimmed hair is so short. Just enough to put your hands through, golden tresses that shorter glisten in the light from your window.

His beard, rough and thick, is gone.

Without it, Steve looks years younger. Happier. Lovelier. Though you miss the gruff sight of his facial hair, this soft cheek and sharp jawline is to die for.

“There you are.” Nat says, a slow smile creeping into her face. “I’d wondered where our Steve Rogers was hiding.”

Steve pushes away from the doorframe and reaches up to stroke his chin and cheeks.

“It was time.” He says, sounding slightly ashamed.

“Long past.” Nat tells him, not chastising but stern.

“Yes.” Steve agrees, then with a shyness you’re unfamiliar with, he peeks at you from behind those impossibly long blonde lashes.

Cheeks flushed; he smiles softly.

“Perhaps my love doesn’t like it?” He checks, concern crinkling his brow.

You realize that you’ve been standing with your mouth agape, overwhelmed by your husband’s beauty.

Shutting it, you feel your own neck burn.

“Like it?” You sputter. “I love it, Steve. You look…I can see your face.”

Finally, you smile. Steve does too.

~~~~~~~~~~

The next twenty-four hours are rough. For you especially.

You wish that your voyage had been one of ease and comfort. Steve had been hoping for a lovely trip and you’d wanted it to be perfect too, but the entire first day of your journey was lengthened by your constant need to stop.

This trip, the rocking carriage, the bumps and the trembling wooden wheels do not agree with your pregnant state.

Your early morning sickness had improved as of late but something about the swaying and jostling seems to have disagreed with your poor little one. Nothing has been quite so terrible as grabbing your skirts and hoisting them back out of your way as you haphazardly tumble from the carriage to puke into the nearest bush.

True to his word however, Steve has rushed after you, making small declarations of, “Watch your step, my flower.” and “Y/N, wait. Hold my hand as you alight.” and “Does that feel good? When I rub your back?” and “I’m sorry, my petal. I didn’t think about how the journey would make you feel.”

As you straighten, you assure him that you’re fine. You half force a smile, he hands you a water flask, and you clean your mouth as best you can.

“You don’t have to pretend to be fine. You can be comfortable with me, Y/N.” He shifts on his feet, stepping closer by inches and it makes his newly cropped hair bounce a little. It falls forward onto his forehead where it twitches in the late winter breeze.

It’s brisk and normally you’d be shivering, but your thick linen dress and the red cloak that Steve had bought for you keep you mostly warm. You’ll need a thicker cloak soon if the weather gets worse.

With a tentative hand, you reach up to push the strands away from his face and he freezes. Visibly, he’s immobile and it takes every ounce of strength you have left to keep from laughing as he cheeks are painted crimson.

His blush is pleasing and it fills you with pride that you really do seem to have this effect on him.

Instead of laughing you smile wryly, your cheeks aching from the urge to chuckle.

“I wish I could.” You admit, exhaling forlornly while maintaining your now slightly sad smile. “But it will take some time. You were very compelling in your hatred for me. Your sudden kindness has me quite thrown.”

Steve’s face saddens, but you don’t feel bad about his expression. This is the new beginning for both of you, but it doesn’t wipe away what happened before. These are the facts of your marriage and pretending they didn’t happen would be unwise.

“I never really hated you.” Steve says. “Not really. I hated that I had no choice.”

You nod slowly, seeing it all from his side of things and knowing now with how important his people are to him that he must have seen this marriage as unavoidable. An intrusion to his mourning.

There was never an option.

It was marry you or relinquish the Kingdom and for Steve there was only one choice.

Resting your hand against his cheek, you nod for him. You hear him. You want him to know that.

“I know. But it’ll take time. I can’t just pretend it never happened.” You explain.

“I guess that’s reasonable.” He grumbles, then gets distracted and places his hands on your stomach flipping his hands underneath your cloak to feel you over your dress. “Are you well enough to get moving again? We still have a half day’s journey to go.”

The way he cups your teeny barely formed bump makes your heart erupt into flutters. He places his other hand on your lower back and slowly strokes the aching muscle.

“Should we just turn back and go home?” He wonders.

“No!” You answer, a bit too quickly. “No. I want to go. I just need a minute.”

“Have an hour.” Steve quickly offers, moving a little closer so that your left side is pressed against his chest.

This time you don’t try and stop yourself. You laugh.

“I don’t need an hour. Just a few moments will suffice.” You assure him.

“I wish I could take the sickness from you.” He frets.

A sudden thought occurs to you and because you have no damn filter, you speak it before you can stop yourself.

“Margaret didn’t have sickness in her first few months with child?”

There’s a very thick pause and though it feels as if it lasts hours, it really is just a moment.

“Now that I think about it, she did wake up a few mornings feeling ill. We attributed it to rotten food or an outbreak of the sweating sickness. It passed after a few weeks so we…didn’t think…” He trails off, thinking back, his mind trapped in the past.

“I’m sorry.” You bite your lip hard, regretting your train of thought. You avert your eyes, down to his chest to avoid the look of sorrow you know you’ll find in those sea storm blues. “I shouldn’t have brought it up.”

Heat lines your jaw as Steve reaches up to cup the side of your face and with his thumb he smooths your lip, preventing you from biting it any longer.

“It was a fair question. I would want to know too. We should have picked up on the signs, but we weren’t trying to start a family although the Kingdom and the council expected it. Because of what we did-”

“Fighting the evils? Like Hydra?”

“Yes. Because of that, we didn’t want to start a family right away which wasn’t normal for my position especially. It was a surprise when I found out that she was carrying what would have been our first child.” The yearning in his voice is heartbreaking.

You aren’t jealous in this moment, but truly sorry. Margaret and Steve seemed to have really loved each other. To have had a child coming and lost it…

Reaching down you curl your hand around your own little swell but find Steve’s hand still pressed to it, his hand a bit firmer but just as careful as before.

“I’m so grateful to you for telling me. For showing me that I could live again. For letting me love you and our future heir.” Steve gushes so suddenly that your heart flips and dips, making you gasp in surprise. “I won’t make the same mistakes. I will cherish every moment we have together.”

“Steve…” You whisper, overcome with awe in how he can make you melt so easily.

Without warning, he dips his head and presses his lips to yours.

It’s a soft kiss, wanting but gentle. Your knees buckle and he catches you, wrapping his arm around your waist.

He chuckles, soft bubbles of air through your kiss. When he pulls back, he’s still chuckling.

There’s beauty in the way he smiles. The happiness in his face. The love in his eyes. It’s gorgeous but not in the way that attracts a person to another. His bliss is pure and radiant, and it fills you with hope.

You feel lucky to love him, but even if you could only see this happiness from the outside, you would be just as pleased. How amazing that you get to be one of the reasons he smiles like this.

“We should get going, your Majesties. This part of the Kingdom gets cold very fast and with night upon is, it will be too cold to stop again.” Peter looks down at the pair of you from the front of the carriage where he sits beside the coachman.

“Don’t you think you’re taking your duties a little too seriously? I’m here after all.” Steve rants, turning to look up at Peter with a look of tempered annoyance.

Peter smiles. “You told me to protect the Queen. I will do as commanded. Hurry up, please.”

Your turn to chuckle. “Do all of your friends talk to you like that?”

Steve sighs. “Just the ones that know me too well. He is right though. It will get very cold soon. Come. Will you be okay?”

“I think the worst is over.” You nod. “I’m ready.”

“Don’t worry, my blossom. I’ll keep you warm.” He whispers then helps you back in as the wind whistles and thrashes the moss green forest around you.

~~~~~~~~~~

Frost bites at your nose, the winter air like pinpricks against the exposed skin of your neck and cheeks.

“Here, bundle up.” Steve says, rushing to pull your cloak’s hood over your head.

In awe you stare at the so-called cottage before you, speckled with random dashes of quick melting snow.

“Steve…” You whisper, and he chuckles, leaning down to bury his nose against your temple.

“I love the way you say my name.” He whispers huskily, body shifting around yours and providing you with more of that delicious heat that you’d cuddled up against in the carriage for the length of your journey.

“I thought you said we were going to spend some time at your cottage?” You gasp.

Steve pulls back, sliding his hand along your forearm until he slips it into your hand and gently gives it a squeeze.

“We are. This was my mother’s favorite place. Empire Cottage. We spent every winter of my youth here.” Steve explains and pulls you forward. “Would you like a tour?”

He seems so happy that you don’t have the heart to tell him how much this is not a cottage. This is a castle. A small one, only about fifteen or so bedrooms probably but it still has towers—two of them with dark slate pointed roofs and parapets—and it still probably has two large halls for feasts and balls. There are extensive gardens lining the gravel drive up towards an arched stone canopy before the front doors for boarding carriages in the rain.

If the pale gray color is anything to go by, it’s a new addition. The rest of the stonework of the cottage is dark and weathered. Aged. This place has stood for many years.

“When our Kingdom was in its infancy, this was our castle. There are a few villages still standing a few hours’ ride out and you’ll find the ruins of the ones that gave up and chose to move closer to the new one. That one has only been around for-”

“Two hundred years?” You offer, freshly versed in the histories of Broklin.

“Yes.” Steve nods, shining with smiles for you before he pulls you along the curving drive.

You glance behind you, watching Peter and the coachman disappear into what must be a stable.

As the rocks crunch beneath your feet, Steve releases your hand in order to jog towards the small slope on either side of the drive where soft green grass grows peppered with bunches of what you recognize as freesias. Pale blue to contrast against the dark and light grays of the cottage behind them.

“My mother planted these. All of them. By hand.” Steve brags, and you can’t help but smile at his childlike excitement.

It feels almost out of place what with him and his big body and the brooding man you’d come to know, love, and fear.

Those storm blue eyes however are three shades lighter as they gleam with wistful but pleasant memories.

“They’re beautiful, Steve.” You move towards him and he holds out his hand for you.

Taking it, you let him lead you forward away from the trembling blossoms.

“I think it’ll probably snow tonight. One last freeze before Spring comes.” Steve tells you, just chit chat.

It’s so out of the norm, you’re not sure how to respond. So, you nod. “Mm.”

“Bucky jumped off of that boulder.” He tells you, pointing across the circular lawn between the curving drive. “Broke his ankle.”

He laughs just once, then looks at you just as you shiver.

“Oh, you’re cold.” He fusses. “Let’s get you inside.”

“No, I’m okay. Show me more.” You argue.

“We can see more later.” He insists and gives you no room to resist as he tucks your arm underneath his and walks you towards the front doors.

Inside you find dark, rich, very well-kept wooden walls and tan stone floors. Your eyes scan the vaulted ceilings, rafters exposed as he leads you through the cottage, up a set of pale wooden stairs lined with braziers along the stone walls that shift back into chocolate wood as the two of you reach the second-floor landing.

There are small coves in which the braziers sit and long, colorful tapestries adorn the spaces on the left and right.

The same insignia from your necklace stitched at the center.

Absentmindedly, you reach up to trace the shape.

Now that you see it so large…it looks like a shield. And really familiar…

“We’re here at the end.” Steve points, showing you the way.

“We are?” You wonder stupidly, still lost in the beautifully aged castle around you. It feels darker and drafty compared to home, but this place is cozy.

You’re beginning to understand why Kings of past have called this a cottage compared to the massive halls you’d left yesterday morning.

Steve stops, turning to look at you as the two of you reach a set of pale wooden doors. Made of driftwood?

You reach for it, fingers eager to feel the silken grain.

“Would you prefer to sleep by yourself?” He asks, and it’s the hurt…the disappointment that makes you look at him.

Despite the emotion you’re sure you just heard, he smiles, soft and kind. A smidge of tightness around his eyes is all that keeps the façade from ringing true.

“No.” You hurry to tell him, grabbing onto his hand more tightly. “No, of course not. I want you with me. I’m sorry, I just…for a moment I didn’t understand what you meant.”

The tension fades from his body.

You relax too. He slides his hand out of yours and you feel the gentle graze of his fingertips as he wraps his left arm around you, trailing that strange slightly warmer than normal heat down along the length of your spine to the small of your back.

He lays his hand flat, stealing your breath as it curves to your body and then he reaches for the handle of the door and pushes it open, still staring at you smiling as if you are the only thing in the world he can see.

For a moment, he’s all that matters. You’re not sure what has shifted between the two of you.

Yes, you’re pregnant. Yes, he knows that now and it’s why he was fussing over you the entire way here. Yes, he’s trying to make amends. Especially after the ridiculousness that happened with Sharon.

Your blood still boils when you think about it and the way she seemed not to care when you’d confronted her.

All of this, you know. What you most definitely know is that something has changed. Something large and permanent. You feel it in your bones as it carves Steve’s name within them and splinters you with his own altered bones.

Steve Rogers is different. You are different. Finally, as Steve leads you over the threshold into a large bedroom decorated in pale blue luxurious silks, linen, carpets, dark pine trunks, a vanity, a table large enough for four people to eat, and a roaring fire already filling the space with heat—finally, your marriage can start.

~~~~~~~~~~

“I’m sorry.” Steve sighs, hovering over you with his hands on the arms of your armchair.

He’s got his weight completely settled there where he’s holding your seat, looking down into your sleepy eyes as you blink them awake slowly and set aside the shirt you’d been working on.

It’s a normal shirt, one of Steve’s, dark red. You’ve been working in a pattern of dark blue and real silver threads. Expensive but pretty. Even with a tunic on, with the pattern worked only into the wrist and neckline, it will be visible and dress up any old tunic he chooses to wear with it.

“Don’t be.” You smile at him, trying to clear the fog of sleep from your mind.

“I am.” Steve insists. “This is supposed to be our time alone together and I’ve spent the first three days in council.”

“Hydra is attacking our people, Steve. I don’t begrudge you your duties. I only wish I could help more instead of sitting here stitching. Are you sure there’s nothing that I can do?” You reach up and stifle a yawn, Steve’s eyes sparkle with delight—at what you just said? He has the strangest reactions to some of the things you say.

At times you’re only making an observation or speaking your mind and more often than not, he pulls you to him and kisses you. Lately, those kisses have gotten slow, languid, like molten iron flowing slow and hot.

He does it this time too.

He hooks his hand behind your neck and draws your lips to his. With a slightly opened mouth, he takes your bottom lip between his and pulls a little before kissing you again, driving your sleep away.

With your mind in a flurry, he pulls back to look at your face, lips still puckered after his are gone.

He chuckles, just a quick bubble of air expelled as he brings his hand forward to stroke your cheek.

“What was that for?” You wonder, finally finding your voice through the swoon.

“For being my Queen.” He explains. “Because you deserve to be.”

“Even if I’m not high-born?” You whisper so that only he might hear. Just in case there are listening ears.

“Especially because you are not high-born.” He promises and places his hand back onto the seat.

You smile, at ease, and finally comfortable with him.

Over the past three days, Steve has spent a total of a few hours in your company.

He’s gone before you wake—"I’ve got to go. Sam and Bucky have come to deliver more news on the attacks to our smaller villages.” He kisses you slow but pulls away before you have chance to wrap your arm around his shoulder and he slides away as your hand slides along his arm until he’s out of reach—and he’s in bed long after you’ve gone to sleep.

He curls up behind you, warming you up with his heat, nuzzling into the back of your neck, wrapping you up so tight that you groan in slight protest because you can’t breathe but he’s only giving you a long squeeze.

When he releases you, you turn to look blink at him still asleep. He kisses your lips and you pucker your own but fall asleep before you’ve finished.

Despite this short time that you spend with him, things feel settled. This is who the two of you are. Both searching for a connection and finally having found it.

Slowly, he squats down hands still holding your chair as you adjust to look down at his beautiful blue eyes.

He opens his mouth to speak but the wind outside suddenly whistles. It seeps through the cracks in the old stone walls and the blaze set to warm the room crackles loudly, the cold wind finding a way to force it to dance.

You look behind you, staring at the window as a sudden fall of white begins.

“It’s snowing?” You gasp, slightly excited.

“Looks like it.” Steve says, then stands and moves to the window. “The ground will be covered by nightfall. It will be impossible to go anywhere in the morning.”

“Bucky and Sam?” You gasp, worried for their safety. “Are they staying?”

“They already left, my petal. Don’t worry.” Steve assures you and throws you a smile. “It’s just us now.”

“And Peter.” You remind him.

“Peter is in the small manor behind the castle, along with almost all of the staff.” He moves towards you, slow deliberate steps. His boots echo with a gentle tap until he stops before you. “We’re finally alone, my flower.”

Your heart seizes up, nervous flutters fill your tummy. You’re wrapped up in a thick woolen shawl, settled over the long and relaxed gray dress you’d chosen to wear while you lounge indoors. It sits off your shoulders in a pattern of dark gray lace.

Steve offers you his hand and you wonder if you’re ready. If this time will be the right time. You’re eager. But you’re scared. Everything that’s happened before rings fresh in your mind as you take his hand and he pulls you to your feet.

Letting you go, he slips his hands underneath your shawl, his calloused fingers stroking the soft skin of your shoulders as he pushes the shawl away and it falls onto the seat you’d just been sitting on.

You can’t breathe. You’re so nervous it’s like your wedding night all over again.

Fear begins to grow as you remember the pleading. The begging. The pain.

“Steve…?” You whisper, looking up to find him watching you carefully.

He suddenly dips down, wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you flush against his chest. While you wrap your arms around his neck timidly, he lifts you easily, your feet dangling as he carries you towards the end of the bed.

“I have so much to make up for.” He tells you, his voice pained, hurt. As if it physical ails him to remember what you’re remembering too.

“Steve…” You lament with him, trying to move past the rough images that fill your mind.

“Forgive me, my sweet. My love.” He grieves.

“Steve…” Is all you seem to be able to say.

He puts you down on the bed and before you can catch your breath, he’s kissing you again. With his knee on the edge, his hand holding the back of your head to keep your kiss pressed, he slides his hand down along your leg until he can flip his hand underneath your long skirts.

As his skin grazes your ankle, you gasp and pull out of the kiss to watch him.

“Do you trust me?” He asks, his hand now locked around your ankle.

Every other part of him but the rise and fall of his shoulders as he breathes deep and labored, freezes. He is a statue, waiting for your word.

But you have no voice.

You nod.

He comes rushing back up to meet your lips, collapsing on top of you, the full force of his body pressing you into the mattress as he lays you back. His tongue slides along your lips and you open for him as he explores the taste of your raspberry flavored lips.

Kissing him is easy. You love this. But as his body presses into yours, crushing you against the soft bed, a panic begins to grow in your chest.

It’s a fledgling of a feeling, and suddenly, his body is gone. You gasp as he releases you, searching for him in a frenzy to keep him in view.

But you don’t see him. You expected him to stand up, remove his shirt to expose for you the perfection of his body.

Instead you see the fabric of your skirts rise and then fall again.

Pushing yourself up, you rest on your elbows to get a good look and finally feel Steve’s hands find your legs again.

You can’t see him, hidden as he is beneath your dress, but his hands pull your legs wider and you don’t have the strength to resist. You don’t want to resist.

You’re scared…but you trust him.

He pulls off your shoes and the clatter against the floor. His lips are pressed to the inside of your right ankle, the tip of his tongue trails up along your calf then back down to press another kiss. He repeats this move on your left leg and you try not to hyperventilate.

You don’t want to faint now.

He takes his time, repeats the same movements until your skin is pimpled and your heart begins to slow.

Placing his hands flat against the sides of your knees, he traces them up along your thighs, the rough skin of his hands renewing the stutter in your heart.

Heat puddles between your legs and you’re suddenly very embarrassed.

You try to shut them but he’s right there, already kissing the inside of your thighs. He nips at them, biting down on the soft fleshy bits before kissing and licking at the offended skin.

You’re gushing, too nervous to realize that you’re actually enjoying yourself. His touch feels good. Better than good.

It feels just as you’d wished it had from the beginning.

He pushes your legs apart further, grabbing behind your knees to push them up and over his shoulders.

“Steve…” You whimper, voice high and wheezing.

Hot air floods against your bare cunt as he breathes on you, “Hhhaaaaaaaaa….” It’s an audible breath, muffled only by the layers of fabric still keeping him from view.

He presses his nose to your clit, and instinctively you reach down to place your hands on the bulge that is his head. You don’t push but instinct is telling you to. This is embarrassing.

He’s smelling you. He’ll know your scent…What you smell like in your most intimate of places.

A sudden and very slow flick of tongue spreads your folds and you whimper with shock.

Falling onto you back, you find a spot on the pale blue canopy of your bed to stare at.

“You’re gushing, my sweet…” Steve tells you, and you try to close your legs again but he’s already there and he dives in.

The sound is lurid, a soft slur and squelch as he opens his mouth and suckles on as much of your pussy as he can. His tongue explores your insides, finding your entrance to tickle and savor.

You moan, toes curling against his back as he scoots closer and hooks his hands around your hips.

As he finds your clit and laps at it with a passionate almost hungry fervor, you reach down to pull your skirts up over his head.

You want to see him. This is everything you’ve wanted. Maybe not specifically this, but Steve with you…enjoying your body.

His blonde hair peeks out first but as your skirts fall away to expose his half-hidden face, he looks at you and meets your gaze.

His eyes are dark, blown out from lust as he becomes more aggressive and latches to your clit to suck.

Your hips quake, stuttering as the pleasure begins to press along your cunt.

He breaks away, catching his breath but hurries up to rest over your body once more and kiss you soft.

You can taste yourself on his lips and tongue as he explores the hollow of your open mouth.

“You taste like sugar, my sweet.”  He whispers, voice deep and husky.

“Steve…” You moan, and he slides back down to spread your folds with two fingers before tasting you again.

He settles over your clit, tongue flicking at the nub with want and speed. He suckles on it, pressing his tongue flat against the bud.

You whimper more loudly as the pressure catches you by surprise.

“Steve!” You moan, shocked by the rush of it.

“Mmmph.” He moans, shaking his head almost violently. Running his tongue fast against your clit.

It pushes you over and your body is suddenly floating. It’s unreal. It doesn’t exist for this one moment in time.

A wave of numbness flows from your cunt down into your legs, to your toes and feet where they go limp against Steve’s back.

Your hands, curled into his hair, go slack as your body melts into the mattress.

Steve is still there, licking and nipping at your cunt, making you twitch.

You’re wrapped up in bliss and you don’t know which way is up or down, only that Steve is still there, making you want more.

Your hands tighten once more as the moments pass and you try to tug his head up from between your legs.

“Steve…oh, Steve…” You sigh, satisfied and happy. “Kiss me…”

He smiles at you, eyes curling at the corners with the brightness of his own happiness, but he shakes his head.

“Why?” You ask, as he laps at you some more.

When he stops, you can see his chin drizzled with your slick. He licks his lips and a fresh wave of arousal floods between your legs.

“One down.” He says, then hooks his hand into the fold of your thighs and hips to pull you down towards the edge of the bed again. “One-hundred and eighty-one to go.”

“Wha-?” You begin to ask, confused by the number, but then he’s back on your cunt, his tongue working its magic and setting your skin on fire.
