#it was a very strange feeling ahahah

[cocrante]

Today I stopped to reflect about Nico's origins, on the fact that regardless of how you look at it, he's an immigrant in America. He was born in Italy like his sister, but they later moved.

This got me thinking about a rather weighty theme, wondering if others have ever thought about or written anything on it – namely, how Nico, once he discovered his identity, began to perceive things, and perhaps how people outside of the C.H.B., where - among many exceptions - it's a safe place, perceived him.

This intrigues and piques my curiosity a bit ~~ but I'm not sure if I'll really have time to dedicate to it. At the moment it's a nice idea, and if someone has already written something, I'd love to read it ♡

Receiving a compliment from a man you're not attracted to while you're feeling kinda ugly must be the straw that breaks the camel's back

If WHB had PvP: King interactions

⟡ Masterlist ⟡ 

A/N: Started playing new gacha game with PvP arena and got me thinking how the kings would react to having to fight other kings or their own selves ^^

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

Satan vs. Satan

"Wait, that's me?! Do I also have clones now like that fly bastard?"

"Hahaha I hope he enjoyed that as much as I did!"

"I'm not that short, c'mon!"

"Do you think that guy also has his own Sitri or do we both share him?

Satan vs. Mammon

"Who are you calling short?"

"This is what you get for taking what's mine!"

"Do you notice me now?"

"Heh, you won't see this one coming"

Satan vs. Beelzebub

"No matter how many clones he has, I'll beat him anyway"

"You stay away from my knees! Don't want a repeat of last time."

"This was the last time your clones took turns with MC!"

"After we're done here, wanna grab drinks?"

Satan vs. Leviathan

"Here's a little taste of what will happen the next time you'll try to kill MC!"

"About time someone burst that bubble of yours!"

"Time to wake up and smell the roses!"

"Who even is this guy, wanting to go back to school?"

Satan vs. Belphegor

"Man, imagine being able to sleep. Couldn't be me!"

"Oh hey, did anyone else see that corpse reanimate itself?"

"For someone who sleeps all the time, he sure does look tired."

"That guy Beleth, I could use someone like him too."

Satan vs. Lucifer

"Heh, look who just became a harmacist!"

"I wonder... if he injured me, would he also heal me afterwards?"

"When I first met him, he seemed weaker... Still, he's no match for me!"

"I heard a squeak earlier... Did I accidentally step on that tiny piss ballon?

Mammon vs. Satan

"Oh? I'm sorry, I didn't notice you down there."

"I don't mean to be rude. It seems he's very insecure about many things."

"He's like an adorable kitten when he wants to play punch."

"I like small things"

Mammon vs. Mammon

"Ah, what a strange state of affairs. I must've somehow gotten multiplied."

"If there's two of me, does that mean we must share?"

"Do I own him or does he own me?"

"So this is what it feels like to be a Beelzebub."

Mammon vs. Beelzebub

"My subjects tell me he's more in Tartaros than in his own country"

"His food is palatable with enough gold on it."

"If I recall correctly, he tried to eat one of the pillars in my castle."

"I won't hold back the next time he whisks my master away."

Mammon vs. Leviathan

"That coffin seems valuable, I shall look into it more"

"I must admit, Hades is a beautiful country."

"Leviathan could use a visit to one of many Tartaros' spas."

"He's so pale. He should go out more."

Mammon vs. Belphegor

"I do respect a country which hasn't descended into chaos with the king mostly absent."

"I shall send him some new bedsheets. Who knows when was the last time he's had them changed."

"Ahahah, I do admit you do have a very unique power!"

"Such lifestyle does look appealing, alas my country would greatly miss my presence."

Mammon vs. Lucifer

"I respect you deeply. This is nothing personal."

"If you require financial aid, do not hesitate to ask."

"I hope Buer is satisfactory in his position as a healer"

"Do you miss your father as much as I sometimes do?"

Beelzebub vs. Satan

"Huhu, you're cute trying to fight me!"

"Oh, we were fighting?"

"I'm bored, let's jump someone together!"

"Hm, I kinda want a snack now."

Beelzebub vs. Mammon

"I could use a bigger meal."

"I just heard one of the Tartaros' beaches calling me. I have to go."

"Maybe we could go visit my favorite Abyssos casinos afterwards!"

"Hm, I wonder how the pillars in his castle taste like."

Beelzebub vs. Beelzebub

"Oh hello, me!"

"I see you're handling everything here, so I'll just get going."

"If you go to that café in Gehenna, I can go to that stall with fish sweets in Hades..."

"Are you Bael or are you really me?"

Beelzebub vs. Leviathan

"Levi! Nice to see you again!"

"I wonder if he liked the last souvenir I bought him..."

"C'mon, next time I'm in Hades I'm treating you to a fish steak!"

"Sometimes I think he'd love to give me a noose around neck too."

Beelzebub vs. Belphegor

"You won't mind if I borrow Beleth for a few weeks, right?"

"Ah, how is Andrealphus doing?"

"I wish I wasn't so busy and could just lay in bed all day!"

"If only Bael was here to see how well can a country flourish without the king being around all the time."

Beelzebub vs. Lucifer

"Next time invite your angel brothers along."

"I don't need anymore shots for now."

"Another Seraphim down."

"Paradise Lost is pretty, but the smell is horrible."

Leviathan vs. Satan

"Ah, how pitiful you'd even try to mesure up to me."

"Size matters, don't you know?"

"I expected nothing less from you."

"Someday you might grow out of it."

Leviathan vs. Mammon

"A shame, truly. You seemed as a worthy ally."

"Money isn't really what matters. It's beauty."

"That palace of his is very tacky, don't you think?"

"I've won, of course."

Leviathan vs. Beelzebub

"Ugh, just please stop talking."

"You're lucky you're not one of my subjects."

"I shall end you quickly to end my suffering."

"I wish I could be back at my castle."

Leviathan vs. Leviathan

"Finally, I get to defeat myself and come as the winner!"

"Who dares to multiply me and make me compete with myself?!"

"Hm... That color doesn't seem to suit my complexion."

"I'm jealous of other people for being able to see me from such point of view."

Leviathan vs. Belphegor

"Oh, to be able to stay at home all day without being interrupted."

"My coffin is way more comfortable than that cheap bed."

"Hades is beautiful and blooming, unlike Niflheim."

"Where is this Beleth I keep hearing about?"

Leviathan vs. Lucifer

"I shall keep an eye on you at all times."

"All angels are deemed untrustworthy in my eyes."

"I will never forgive your kind for what you've done to us."

"Perhaps, you'd also like to forget your past?"

Belphegor vs. Satan

"Man, your existence's gotta be terrible..."

"Jeez, why are you so loud?"

"Anger drains so much energy..."

"Couldn't be me..."

Belphegor vs. Mammon

"Nice pillows..."

"All that gold looks uncomfortable.."

"Wonder how nice the hotels are in Tartaros..."

"Can ya get me some figures at the Hellcon?"

Belphegor vs. Beelzebub

"Ya exhaust me..."

"Tell Bael I ain't givin' Beleth to anyone.."

"Ya gotta be tired from all that runnin' 'round..."

"Ugh, I'm exhausted..."

Belphegor vs. Leviathan

"Six... I'll have ya obliterated!"

"Ya remind me of that one anime character that dies in the end..."

"Imagine putting all that work in just to look like that..."

"I wonder when they'll announce another season..."

Belphegor vs. Belphegor

"Oh?"

"Well, what in tarnation?"

"Makes me double tired..."

"Ope, am I still dreamin'?"

Belphegor vs. Lucifer

"Hospital beds ain't comfy..."

"This Hell might be big enough for the two of us..."

"Agares might need ya soon, if he don't shape up..."

"That Andrealphus, he seems hurt, check up on him, will ya?"

Lucifer vs. Satan

"Humans believe you've taken on all my wrath towards my father. Thank you for relieving me of such impure emotions."

"You. I'd expected you taller."

"I deeply apologise for all the grief my brothers have caused you."

"Morax asked me to remind you to wear your mouth guard."

Lucifer vs. Mammon

"Ah, father must've been very generous while creating you."

"I can sense a deep sadness within you..."

"If your horn stump becomes painful, my doctors can help you."

"There were many demons who required back pain treatment after carrying his riches."

Lucifer vs. Beelzebub

"I was told my brother fears you. If that is what will keep him in line, I shall support such occurence."

"That Phenomenon, what exactly is it?"

"I believe you're due in for another health check up."

"They call him wandering king and yet I have yet to see him vacation in Paradise Lost."

Lucifer vs. Leviathan

"My lord, you truly are the epitome of vanity."

"Could you please keep your servant in check, so we do not have to use spells to ensure our morgue doesn't get broken into?"

"The amount of Hades demons addmited to the hospital because of thorn injuries is great. I wonder why?"

"I am deeply sorry for all the horrible things you've been through. I should've intervened."

Lucifer vs. Belphegor

"I feel insulted to be now considered your fellow."

"I believe we do have a cure for narcolepsy, If you'd be interested."

"Beleth, that name sounds familiar..."

"That halo doesn't seem like it was your to begin with."

Lucifer vs. Lucifer

"Has... father created another copy of me?"

"Am I so easily replaceable?"

"So this is how all the other demons see me... I now understand."

"If there's two of me, I shall work twice as hard now..."

*takes upside-down book from Fellow, flips in right-side-up, and hands it back to him* :)

In this interaction, I make a reference to the reading scene between Belle and the Beast. While those two characters are romantically involved, it’s not meant to be the case between Fellow and the reader here.

So tell me, do you wanna go?

“I-I knew that!l Fellow insisted, swiveling away to shield his (now right-side up) book from you. “I was just testing you to see if you knew!”

You nodded patiently—understandingly. “Uh-uh.” You paused, an idea forming at the tips of your lips. “Hey, why don’t you read the story to me? I kinda want to know what it’s about since you’re so into it.”

The bravado in Fellow’s face instantly drained. Too late to back down, too humiliating if he confessed. He released a stuttering reply.

“Uh… alright.”

Fellow flipped open to the first page of the book. He squinted desperately at the unfamiliar lines of twisting words, as if trying to manifest an answer with his eyeballs.

“Hmmmm…” He grunted, straining with effort. “Mmmm…”

A few awkward minutes passed like this, with Fellow attempting—and failing—to decipher the story. At last, he clapped the book shut and slowly lifted his gaze to meet yours. His ears flattened, reminding you of a misbehaving dog prepared for a scolding.

“I… I can’t,” he admitted bashfully. “I can’t do it.”

Before you could say anything, Fellow quickly added, “I learned! … A little.” He ran a finger down the thick body of pages. “It’s just that it’s so… long.”

“Oh, is that it?” You chuckled, leaning over and tapping the cover. “Well, here. I’ll help you.”

With one hand, you eased the book back open. Back to the beginning. You indicated the first line and offered an encouraging smile.

“Let’s start at this spot, okay?”

Fellow hesitated, but his mouth ran anyway, betraying him. “Okay.”

He glimpsed the opening line. T, followed by a W and an O. A strange combination, so rarely spotted in the wild. Fellow tried to connect them in his mind, cramming sounds beside one another and on his tongue.

“T-Tuoh…”

“Two,” you gently corrected him. “Like the number.”

“Two…” The next word, he recognized—so long as he broke it up into smaller pieces. Confidence slowly returned to his voice. “House… holds. Two households…”

“That’s right. Very good! You’re a very fast learner.”

“R-Really?!”

Fellow leapt at the praise. Warmth sang in his chest. It was a feeling foreign to him—the hand on his back, the smile and the support fed to him.

“Hmph, of course I am! Fellow Honest-sama is a man of many talents,” he gloated, puffing up like a peacock. “Watch this, I’ll clear this entire story today!!”

“Ahahah, I look forward to it.”

yandere! nordics x reader

warnings ; manipulation; questionable power dynamics; 'luna' is a placeholder for the reader's name. very fluffy otherwise <3

how did he meet you . . . ?

it was a beautifully arranged library meeting -- meticulously placed decorations with various literary characters; adding into atmosphere of immersion. dainty fingers ghosted above titles, each one more fascinating than the last -- unsure where to start, or even begin. 'ah, may I help you? -- smooth, soft tone inquired; as gently slender fingers graspled with a particularly intriguing cover, handing it to the the girl. 'oh my god, this seems perfect -- I had no idea this even existed, really- thank you!' -- she smiled; flipping across pages carefully, nodding. 'you're welcome' -- seemingly mysterious figure smoothly faded back to the crowd, leaving faint note of intrigue -- amaranthine eyes studying every single little movement further out; helping others with their concerns.

yet something about . . . you. certain kindness; peculiar gratitude -- made lukas very interested.

it was another day -- seemingly so. bland in the never-ending existence of routines, diplomacies and documents. with a smooth, calculated step -- tino approached one of his favourite coffee shops in stockholm -- cozy, quiet place for work. glass doors opened -- him merely stepping inside, when a particular individual caught his attention. her. soft, tiny form -- hunched over scattered notes, trying utterly best to decipher complicated material. it must have been challenging -- judging by how intense expression blossomed. lukas definitely mentioned someone over usual rambles on the newspaper-written politics. tino was a known fan of his coffees -- but in much sweeter way -- just like him -- latte with whipped cream and if he was feeling extra fancy that day – with various syrups, and other variety of assortiments.

in the silliest way -- sticker-decorated laptop made him raise his eyebrow -- how entire rainbow of certain hobbies were represented.

this little declaration sparked curious interest in that particular someone; yet his eyes kept darting away -- obvious shyness taking better of him; considering how focused girl looked. with a smooth click -- tino settled down porcelain cup with cherry drink, clearing his throat -- carefully approaching. he really, really put uttermost effort to be seen as an gentleman -- embarassment betraying the best of odds, in a way.

girl gazed up -- flushing in an instant due to entire absurdness of the situation. a young guy, with softest, sincere expression actually paying attention? of course -- she deemed to possess such strange, out-of-the-box personality (or any other questionable qualities) -- this interaction... feeling unreal.

‘hello, um...-- well... this character looks really cool-– if i may ask, where did you find stickers for your laptop?’

how did you get woven into nordics . . .?

in all honesty -- after a kind, pleasant conversation in the coffee shop -- tino happily invited luna into their inner circle -- to spend a peaceful evening amongst... his friends. 'oh, yeah, of course! this sounds lovely -- next tuesday, 6 pm -- right?' 'ah, niin // yes, of course // -- you may have my phone number -- call us anytime!' 'i will! have a lovely day!'

luna happily waved away, leaving coffee shop; soft smile blossoming upon champagne lips. ;; 'so... you have 4 roomates? what- how does it work... exactly?' 'luna, well, it is complicated, you see--' -- before tino could flaunt a sheepish smile, looking for the explanation, leading girl through the corridor, his hand ghosting above the waist as a mere precaution... door flied upon with unflauntible wham -- way-too-happy mathias budging in the doorframe. 'look, what the have here! our cutie patootie -- lukas has been talking about you non-stop! c'mere!' -- luna giggled, picked up ever-so-easy into way-too-loving bear hug, carried away. 'o-oh, stop! ahahah! bollocks -- hahaha!' -- soft giggles echoed across apartment; as tino smoothly closed the door -- kicking shoes a bit too hastily -- coat left over on the rack. 'mathias! helvetti! // hell // you don't treat our friend like that! fuck-' bernwald merely raised his eyebrow at the noise -- returning to fill out related government papers; clicking study shut. ruckus was not entertaining. this is going to be a long evening. ;; bitter coffee notes blossomed, filling up the air with false sense of decency -- luna comfortably settled down close to the mathias. 'wait... it is actually really nice to have... relationship like that, or something along those lines. well, I am not lucky as you all' -- unspoken sadness swirled between irises; as floor would provide any sense of comfort. 'hey... what do you mean? you can talk to me, y'know' -- he scooted closer; wrapping hand around in such unspoken gentleness, as if provide comfort. 'I live alone, uh... I may only dream of something like . . . that' -- she gestured; bitersweet laugh following. 'This is pathetic, why am I even--' -- unwanted tears simmered; expression knitting over inner turmoil. 'And what if I told, darlin'... that maybe you could stay? I like you, Tino also does -- and we have a spare room to follow -- what about that?' -- honey-sweet words with even sweeter embrace; tears wracking entire body in the chaos of the feelings. 'Shh... it's okay, I'm here, you're safe...'

you did not even realise how deeply your soul intertwined with theirs at that very moment.

TickleTober Day 17 : Closet

Characters: Kamisato Ayato x Thoma

Warnings: Slight suggestiveness

Pairing key: & = platonic, x = romantic!

Why are closets always so sus sus for scenarios...

The Kamisato Estate was full of a more relaxed atmosphere this evening, despite the obvious party going on. Ayaka had wanted to throw a “Halloween” party, thanks to Yoimiya’s influence.

Thoma spent the whole afternoon rushing around, ensuring various guests and the siblings themselves felt accommodated. In his haste, he did not notice the Commissioner himself had taken the time to slip away. The blond tried to act casually about it, asking others where they may have seen Ayato walk off to, saying he had something to ask about, though it was obvious to everyone that he was worried.

Thoma headed to a quieter part of the estate, checking various rooms, when he noticed a closet door in the hallway slightly ajar.

“...My lord?” Thoma felt silly for thinking Ayato would be in a closet of all places, but was intent on checking anyway.

“Um… well, here goes nothing…” He mumbled to himself.

In a moment of courage, Thoma yanked the closet door open, and a skeletal object fell on top of him, causing him to shriek loudly and trip over.

“Pff- ahahah!”

A familiar chuckle could be heard from the closet, and as Thoma managed to compose himself, he saw Ayato standing over him with a smug and triumphant smile on his face.

“That was the perfect reaction~”

“My lord, you could have scared me to death!!” Thoma whined.

“Ah, but I didn’t. And I got to see your face, it’s all red hehe~”

The blond’s heart was racing, and it didn’t seem to be from the fright anymore. Before he could say anything, he felt Ayato firmly grab his hand and pull him into the closet, hushing him as he does so.

“M-My lord- Ayato… What is going on?”

“This is the first time in ages I have managed to get a day off and I am not spending it with just you? This feels very unfair to me… So, here we are.” Ayato pulls the door to the closet shut.

“There are some weird decorations in here… I don’t think I can- ah! H-Hehehey!” Thoma suddenly felt his partner’s hands gently squeezing his sides, causing an immediate reaction.

“Pff- ack!! A-Ayatohohoo! Stahahap!”

“Shhh~ You don’t want the others to hear some strange noises coming from the closet right?”

“Ahahaha!!! What is thihihihis!! D-Don’t! Not there hehehehe!!!” 

Ayato couldn’t care if anyone heard, he was currently satisfied with hearing Thoma’s giggles and feeling him squirm in his hands. He had nowhere to go given that the closet was tiny, so he instead tried to slide down the wall and under the Commissioner's legs. 

“Ah ah, no escaping~ I have to make you feel how much I missed you.” 

His hands followed Thoma’s body as he slid down the inside wall of the closet, softly kneading each one of Thoma’s ribs. It also helped Ayato that the blond’s shirt had now ridden up and he could use his longer nails more effectively. 

“Wow, taking your shirt off just for tickles? Seems like you missed them too.” 

“N-NOHOHOOOO!!! I-It’s not like thahahahaat! Ahhhahahaha!!”

It was obvious Thoma was enjoying it, given he was making no attempt at pushing Ayato’s hands away.

“HAHAHA WAIT WAAAIIITTT HEHEHE!!!”

“Oh my, it seems your ribs are more ticklish when I am being more gentle? You better watch out Thoma, more tickles incoming~”

The pyro user squeaked loudly and Ayato was sure that at least someone heard it, but he couldn’t stop. With Thoma below him and unable to escape such a compromising position, he took full advantage and softly skittered his fingers over his sides and ribs, getting an even better reaction.

He was enjoying himself a little too much that it took Thoma softly squeezing the back of his knee to make him buckle over and stop.

“Ah! T-Thoma!”

“Ayato please… I-I can’t breheheheathe~” 

“Hmph… fine~ I’m sorry, I just missed you…”

Ayato straddled Thoma and kissed his forehead, softly wiping the little tear that formed from his cheek with his thumb. 

“Yes yes… I missed you too, but now it’s time I got my reven-”

The door to the closet suddenly slid wide open and the two immediately looked up in shock.

“You two… can this not wait until later tonight!?” 

“S-Sorry Ayaka!!!” The two apologised profusely, their faces both flushed at this point.

She was not going to let them live this down.

[prince-liest]

Its so funny realizing you engaged in Homestuck in your development- bc same- and it did raise a certain generation with a baseline enjoyment for alien/monstrous behaviors. Like nonchalant of course this character has rows of fangs and horns and tentacles and strange rituals of engagement in how they proceed sexually or not. And also you did feel like someone who knew what a kismesis and morail are.

And also you did feel like someone who knew what a kismesis and morail are.

Congrats, best compliment anyone's ever given me, ahaHAH—of course I've been called out specifically for my two favorite quadrants.

Honestly, you put it perfectly. There is so much of Homestuck that started out Like That pretty much for the meme before Hussie started putting a lot more thought into it, and the fandom was so deeply goddamn dedicated to taking all of Hussie's bullshit and wrangling it into an actual way of setting up a society, culture, and biology that made meaningful sense. I also tangibly remember the not-very-slow transition of going from "um, tentacles? what?" to "wait, this person drew X character WITHOUT an intersex tentadick set up downstairs? that seems incorrect. dnw."

The quadrant system remains my roman empire and my crowning achievement in that regard is writing an Alternia's-version-of-queer character who got smeared across every tabloid in Alternia not because he got photographed kissed a boy but because he got photographed kissing his moirail.

I just think that Homestuck did great things for my psyche. It's just the most piece of media ever, is all I'm saying.

[leornadodabvinci]

Hello! Do you have any other Grand Chase headcanons to share on this fine day? 👁️👁️

HI HELLO YES I DO OMGGG SORRY FOR THE LATE RESPONSE I DIDN’T OPEN TUMBLR FOR A BIT BUT I HAVE A DISCORD SERVER FOR KEEPING NOTES OF STUFF AND ONE CHANNEL IS JUST DEDICATED TO RANDOM HCS AND SO UM. I have a few (that would make sense without an elaborate explanation)👉👈 they’re mostly if not all elesis and sieghart though ahahah… ANYWYA

*takes a deep breath*

(Sorry if the terminologies aren’t right im just rambling skhdjsj) (also a lot of them are sieg and elesis aha…)

- Sieghart currently is built like a dancer, lithe and flexible, because of the extra innate godlike strength he got from being a highlander. He doesn’t have to exert as much strength as when he was just a mortal, or like the weight doesn’t affect him that much anymore? Plus, i hc that the highlanders’ style is more elegant and flow-y, compared to the brutishness of the sieghart family’s. When he was younger, around Elesis’ age, he was built more like her. Body builder, bigger muscle kinda look.

- Elesis, as she grows into her late 20’s receives sooooo many “you look just like Sieghart!” Or “you look just like your father!” Comments, but as she grows past 30 and 40, they die down. Because sieghart is stuck in his 30’s, and elscud died (? Disappeared?) in his 40’s.

- sieghart is a jack of all trades, master of none kinda guy.

- Dio and Sieghart have a strange way of being intimate. It isn’t really… intimacy. They don’t do pda, they do something more nothingburger and subtle that it feels more vulgar if you catch them doing it. Its like a game? But not really? Since they’re not trying to hide it either 😭 i don’t know how to describe it. Like the Chase could be in a meeting together and Sieghart/Dio is eating something and one of them goes “blech” and instead of eating the food, they try it from the other’s mouth and then is like “oh ew ur right omg” and then the chase woukd just stare at them.

- dio and sieg are truly, evenly matched in skill. Its a battle of attrition. Though probably sieg has the upper hand since he’s immortal?

- dio’s actually also playboy, just not in mortal sense. He takes up someone every 5 - 10 years, which i hc is the equivalent of changing gfs/bfs every couple of months in demon sense of time. He tries to mean well though, and doesn’t do one night stands.

- sieghart is a one night stand enthusiast. He’s a total flirt too.

- height hc: dio > sieg > zero > ley > grandiel > werner > (noticeable drop) > ryan > lire > jin > rufus > harpe > ronan > asin > lass > edel > rin > elesis > amy > (big drop here) > arme > lime > veigas

- Elesis is a doof and lowkey rich girl coded. “How much is an apple anyway? Like $10?”

- the Chase act more like childish, more their age (more carefree, unburdened, yknow young adults/teens) around Sieghart.

- lass and rufus have the same eye shape. They both take after their mother more.

- Grandiel finds Sieghart to be the best company. They both understand each other very well, and seamlessly fall into conversation no matter how long its been since they last met.

- that’s why when Sieghart found out who Kyle and Cindy was, it stung a little. But he understood, of course. He holds no grudge against Grandiel.

- Sieghart acts like a safeguard for the Chase. He doesn’t want any of them to go through any of this alone.

- Ley, Rin and Sieghart are besties. Wine date trio.

- Lime and Dio also unexpectedly get along well. They’re optimistic people. Two sides of the same coin.

- Rufus cares about Lass more than he thinks. When Lass gets sick, he most definitely appears and lingers around until he gets better.

Okaay i think thats itttt hehe :3 Thank you for this ask I definitely enjoyed it LOL

ch. 111

the plot thickens and I am thrown all around the room as if in a hurricane... I really cannot predict Iro-sensei's plots!!!!!!

oh Amane, all of your efforts, your gestures.... what a desperate, helpless feeling

its the most predictable response Tsukasa would have, but it still hurts very very much.

he's reaaaally strange isn't he... he's like that....

oh Amane.... you're so reactive to perceived rejection and failure. You'll say the worst things, you'll think the worst things... you're sooo unstable, Amane!

What, you simply don't accept that your otouto would 'try to leave you'? I bet it's something like that. You "know he's fake" now because he "wouldn't do something like this to you"... that's my guess at your dumb little brain. Don't take him too seriously, okay, Tsutsu? Your brother just can't handle the sense of rejection of you choosing to die & leave him behind, or he can't handle that all his gestures and attempts to show his love fell so flat that you have no idea at all of his desperate love of you. Nooooo you have to be fake~~~ my real otouto would understand and he'd never leave me~~!!! I don't think you, Amane, understand how suicidal your real otouto was, and is, to this day! Would you believe it has less to do with disregarding you, and more to do with not believing in his own life's worth? No, you won't believe that, right... it's about you, instead! hahaha....

I'm glad I played AidaIro's Snow White game because... Estelio is THIS HURTFUL to Rasphard, and it's just out of a sense of being rejected!!! Estelio would kick his twin's goddamn corpse on the ground, let him wriggle and DIE in pain and AGONY if Estelio has the impression Rasphard wants nothing to do with him or isn't considering him ... LOL. Iro likes this kind of ... troubled, insecure, desperate, spiteful, needy person... you want the perfect brother, who loves you. You have that, but you can't understand the idea of someone choosing to leave you through death....

I wonder if Tsukasa started grabbing your jacket to move you to protect you.... meanwhile, Amane impulsively moved to protect his ~~~fake otouto, haha!

I wonder ... if Nene-chan has her memories because, she is magical etc, or if Akane actively made Teru do something to her to enable her to... stay as an aware asset, since he isn't completely sided with the Clockkeepers... maybe Akane is waiting to see what 'new future' comes to be, and seeding a few tricks to utilize if he doesn't agree or wishes to pull out? (I mean, if the Severance never happened, Aoi definitely would not be his girlfriend haha)...

The clockeeper's circumstance is interesting enough. Its very Aidairo-core. But not enough for me to talk about haha.

swag, I have been right the whole time! cool. yep!! of course. logical haha!! I can't be too proud of myself, it's been spelled out ...

that same old God~~ our Tsutsu!

the year before the murder, when the boys were 12... fuckin scary place to go to. What on Earth are you changing... the circumstances of the shinjuu?

if we're 'fixing' the 'problem', I wonder if that means we'll be going into the original timeline, where Amane would likely still be alive-- he'd just be an old man, and Nene-chan's teacher at Kamome. Wouldn't that be so funny and interesting? Lol. What would we all do if Amane was "Yugi-sensei" and like, old! It would be very AidaIro core AHAHAH ahhh the agegap fetish--! It's not enough to have Sumire x Hakubo and Yako x Misaki and Kako x Mirai and the entire Monstery Nursery AUs LOL you know, we need more ahahahaah (HanaNene is already technically biiig agegap! I would laugh if actually making Amane like 60 woke some people up flfjdklfdjk)

I'm just not sure... Amane could just be dead, I guess, and Tsukasa. Or he could be alive, and old. I have a vague theory that he must be a kaii because of, whatever he or Tsukasa had done together during the shinjuu... (maybe Amane was impulsed to eat some part of Tsukasa, maybe the God blessed Amane at the last second, etc etc)... it's hard to imagine Amane would be a school mystery-- Tsukasa is his yorishiro after all... and we don't quite know what circumstances make Sumire and Tsukasa into objects, if being sacrificed to the God had something essential to do with that...

Well, so interesting, I wonder if Nene-chan will have to go even further than she did in Picture Perfect-- in that arc, she had to choose to reject a seemingly perfect, but ultimately fabricated, world; even if it was 'nicer' than the 'real world'. Now, she might be shown a world fixed of its cracks-- it could even possibly be a world Amane never had to murder his brother, like she wanted before. Nene-chan is so often getting "what she asked for" in the wrong way, at the wrong time. She fell in love with "Hanako". Is the boy she fell in love with "here"? Is he in a form she can confess to?

Furthermore, she just bonded with Tsukasa, and has knowledge of the Red House... must be essential, to write that happening before this-- just before, even. Tsukasa even inspired her to need to free herself, even if Amane isn't there to save her.

Poor Nene-chan though-- so scary!!! What an awful situation to be in HAHAHA, flung around...

I have no idea what Mitsuba's situation will be, but Tsukasa is responsible for our "Mitsuba" to even be around. He wouldn't have even managed to become the ghost about the entryway without Tsukasa kaii-ifying him through his first, vague wish.

Well, it would be funny if these things were all true now:

-Amane is alive, but he's old lol -Aoi is not Akane's gf, and maybe that other timeline was the only goddamn way you could ever get her within reach lol -No Mitsuba To Speak Of lol

MUCH POSSIBLE, MUCH TO THINK ABOUT-- MAYBE I'M WRONG ABOUT IT ALL!!! Iro-sensei writes such interesting plot twists WOO ahahaha! I WONDER IF WE WILL INTERACT WITH 12 YEAR OLD TSUKASA AGAAAIN~~ pleaaase ~~

feeling more certain than ever that Tsukasa is The single most tragic member of this cast hahaha

[m1ckeyb3rry]

Shit why do I do this to myself. I reread twins and MY GOD IM IN SO MUCH PAIN I feel gutted, stabbed, shot, skinned, flayed, burnt, drowned, chocked and since that was such an addictive chapter I had to go on to defeat. Gosh your writing feels so real it’s insane, it’s as if the characters aren’t characters but real people their choices and words are so REAL and so true to how humans would be. AND you do such an amazing job at portraying how flawed they are, I feel like a lot of fics I read tend to make characters too good-ish ykwim? Also, I love how Friedrich (the loml 😍) doesn’t completely fall into comforting Y/N but instead makes her take responsibility and forces her to face the consequences of her actions, while Colt is a lot more sympathetic and softer towards her which just melts my heart. I am sososososoeoeoso grateful I found you, your writing is godlike and ur shitposts lowk make my day 😁 (this might be the first ever sith ask I’ve sent with emojis that aren’t crying) and ofc I can’t send this off w/o a friedrich rant: loveofmylifeforeverandever what am I supposed to do without him, I think my obsession has been getting out of hand lately cos he’s all I’ve been thinking about AND I CANT EVEN TALK TO MY FRIENDS ABT HIM!1!1 I’m supposed to be a nonchalant dreadhead, not a fanfic xreader connoisseur who gets a visceral reaction at the tiniest mention of a nonexistent aot character😣😣

AHAHAH twins is a crazy chapter alice’s pov is…something…she as a character in general is so odd like i think given her situation and whatnot she makes SENSE and especially as a parallel to y/n she’s very important (especially given her perspective and view of character’s we’ve only seen through an unreliable narrator thus far) but she is such a freak and also so tragic but it’s also like as bad as you feel for her she’s also a victim of like. a self-imposed tragedy?? it’s all just very strange like i’m the one who wrote her and even i never know how i feel about her on a day to day basis. also i’m responding to this on my ipad so idk how long it’ll be so i’m adding a read more jic

YAYYY thank you so much i really appreciate that!! i def know what you’re talking about — a lot of people are scared to make their characters feel too flawed or human which makes sense because it’s fiction so we want to read about people who are better than us!! but ship in the harbor especially was explicitly written to be a deconstruction of the glorified war stories and specifically the badass girlboss femme fatale trope with the character of y/n. if you take away the context of the story then she has all of the makings to be another ya heroine who everyone praises: she’s explicitly stated to be very beautiful, is super smart, has an uncanny skill with a weapon that makes her strong despite physically being weak, is able to win an entire war with her ideas + is considered a hero by people for that, and has many beautiful men in love with her!! HOWEVER this trope has always annoyed me especially because of how lightly killing other people is taken in stories like that where it’s just like “meh whatever they were #villains” hence why i really really tried to show how it would impact the characters and how killing people and war and violence and all of that aren’t just “ha ha action plot !1!1” but they can have legitimate consequences on the people who take part in them.

even the guys who are in love with her are meant to be examples of just that: friedrich in another story could be considered the typical “edgy” love interest who would do anything for her and is a sarcastic charming guy with violent tendencies however in sith we see that he’s so attached to her at first because she represents innocence and needs to be protected, then because she literally holds his and his family’s lives in her hands (as she threatens to report his theft of food to the marleyans if he tries to quit the candidacy), and finally because she’s really the only person who understands him and vice versa. with colt he COULD’VE been the typical “sweet” golden retriever li but as we know he does plenty of selfish stuff, he’s concerned with his family above all else, and he leads soldiers to their death just like the rest. even hadrian and marek (although marek isn’t necessarily a love interest but in another world he would’ve been) are inversions of popular tropes: instead of a girl nursing a man back to health and he falls in love with her, it’s hadrian who nurses y/n to health and shows her the truth about the world (before she runs away anyways) and with marek even though y/n is technically the one who gets him to talk and open up it’s his acceptance and view of her as a hero which allows her to finally start thinking of herself in a more complex lens than just a black-and-white “i’m evil” way. actually that’s kind of the purpose of the story as a whole, there rarely ever is a true evil and good in real life conflict, it’s all just people doing what they think is right!! if you look at marley vs athyae especially it’s obvious there were good and bad people on both sides — while obviously marley was the instigator and “more” wrong, there were also people like the warrior candidates fighting for them, whereas while the athyaens were the victims and “less” wrong, what they did to marek was INSANE (the chapter were y/n describes his wounds and he tells her about his torture is honestly more horrific to me than any of the ones that actually take place in athyae) so like how can you paint any one faction as solely evil or solely good??

ANYWAYS that was so much rambling and for what 😭 long story short thank you so much i really set out to make everything feel human and realistic so i’m glad you appreciated that!! i think sith is definitely very special to me for that reason as i’ve never really gone so in depth with a deconstruction as i did with it (also why the outline might seem to fall flat/be cliche — the entire point of sith was to take cliche tropes and explain how they would actually play out but without the elaboration it just feels like cliche events are occurring for no reason)

LKSJDFD yeah for being the one who’s disgustingly in love with y/n (not that colt isn’t but it’s to a lesser extent) friedrich is always the FIRST to call her out…meanwhile colt is much gentler with her and honestly i think that’s what makes them work as a trio!! it’s also mentioned at some point i think in the chapter where y/n thinks friedrich is dying of lung disease that colt had come to talk to friedrich about his issues with y/n and honestly in my mind i think friedrich is really supportive and a good listener with colt (besides teasing him constantly) he’s just specifically calling y/n out because he knows no one else will do it!! which is actually true LMAOO he only gets away with it because she’s kind of incapable of being mad at him or saying no to him (if you think about it i think friedrich is the only character who she’s never had like active beef with and who she listens to if he yells at her instead of yelling back)

OMGGG YOU’RE TOO SWEET I’M SORRY I JUST WROTE AN ENTIRE ESSAY IN RESPONSE TO THIS!! BUT i really appreciate it and i’m glad you like my shitposts i LOVEEE making shitposts and just writing whatever on here!! i’m also so glad that you still think about sith and friedrich and the rest even now hehe it really does make me feel so appreciated and like people enjoy what i write to the extent that they even love this silly little guy who i entirely made up from my mind 🥹 always feel free to send me sith asks i’ll always be happy to rant about them literally whenever

POV: Young Royals is an early 2000s Web 1.0 juggernaut megafandom

During my hiatus earlier this week, @heliza24 and I had a conversation about what Young Royals fandom would be like if it were not a modestly-sized tumblr fandom in the 2020s, but rather an early 00s juggernaut megafandom like the kind you saw on livejournal and individual web pages scattered throughout the internet.

Note: the tone here is 100% silly and inspired by a) my personal history in long ago fandoms and b) repeated viewings of fandom history videos by @strange-aeons. The internet had a bit more of a “wild west” feeling back in those days and you will see that reflected in our ideas.

A lightly edited transcript of my conversation with heliza about fanfic archive names and potential early internet dramas follows…

~

blue: So here’s a topic of discussion YR fandom hasn't done yet. What would each pairing's archive be called if we were watching this show in 2003? I feel like Wilmon would have a few archives, each with a different flavor. Like there'd be a catch-all archive that's pretty friendly and welcoming, an archive just made up of fics where they're adults, and then something for kink and/or dark fic (or those would be separate)

heliza: Our weird multi shipping poly archive is called sprucewood obvs!

blue: Oh there'd probably also be a Wilmon archive that's Edmar RPF-friendly

heliza: One of them would be called The Frog Prince and the Popstar. Maybe that's the RPF favorable one, idk.

blue: Originally was going to say the catch-all, but I think you're right. The catch-all friendly archive would be The Fish Tank.

heliza: Yes love that ahaha. Is the kinky one like Fuck the Monarchy or something like that?

blue: Something like that. Although. Okay there might be two adult archives, but only as a result of an intense fandom schism I feel like there'd be an offshoot of Fuck the Monarchy for people who want King Wilhelm and Prince Consort Simon. Something like King & Consort.

heliza: Ahahah yes perfect. I think there would be a separate Sargust archive! What would you call it?

blue: Yes! With a little cordoned off adult section with its own name. Hmmm I haven't thought of a name yet but I feel like the web design of it would be very Goth.

heliza: Absolutely.

blue: Black backgrounds. Blood red rose incorporated in the web design. Horses, naturally.

heliza: ... The Stables?

blue: Secret Stables

heliza: Yes good

blue: The adult section of the website would be called something extreme like ~Bit & Bridle~

heliza: Perfect

blue: The Stedrika archive is called Lavender Crush because of Stella's hair in S2. It's small but the webmistress is very dedicated and very transparent with her updates.

heliza: yes haha and she's always trying to convert people to femslash. I feel like she would eventually let Sara/Felice and Maddie/Rosh in as well.

blue: I think she co-runs a second site called Manor House which is all YR femmeslash.

heliza: oh right of course

blue: The other webmistress of that site is her wife ten years later.

heliza: Yessss. Strangeaeons makes a video about them. Because there's enough drama but then they end up together

blue: Yes! I think the other mod ran a Rosh and Ayub fan page. Oh there'd be a general fandom archive called Hillerska Skolan Library or something, but it would be a lot of cross-posting. 

blue: I feel like we need a Forest Ridge archive too.

heliza: Is that where the Walty and Nilcent goes?

blue: Yes. And like. Alexander being shipped with various people. I feel like it's 2003 so there's lots of combos. And some Wilhelm/Simon/Henry? It would exist, don't ask me how I know, it's just vibes.

heliza: There's a renegade writer who keeps writing Wilhelm/Nils and one who posts August/Simon and it sends the site into an epic fight because there are some mods who insist that this is for ALL THE BOYS EXCEPT SIMON AND WILHELM. And some of them don't mind.

blue: Omg there'd be a small August/Simon archive too

heliza: The lavender crush people are like "wow those boyslashers are intense"

blue: But it's all cross-posting with Forest Ridge… Oh god. Oh god I just thought of the name of the Simon/August archive help.

heliza: Go on

blue: Ok ok… it's a rowing pun… forgive me… it'd be called… Take Out Your Cox

heliza: АНАНАНАНА INCREDIBLE

blue: There's actually a violent schism among sargusters about whether it's ok to also ship Simon/August or not. This schism lines up almost exactly with one's sargust kink preferences and ability to have a sense of humor.

heliza: "It's incest if you ship both!!!"

blue: If a sargust has written dom August, then they are against Simon/August. If a sargust writes Sara domming or writes them switchy, and they have a sense of humor, they definitely write Simon/August… also is the Forest Ridge archive just called Forest Ridge? Wait. The Forest Ridge Archive is called On The Table.

heliza: Oh yes perfect.

blue: OK ALSO—IT IS 2002 OF COURSE THERE IS AN INCEST ARCHIVE SIGH. "Royal Family Affairs" or something.

heliza: Wilhelm/Erik would be big I think

blue: Wilhelm/Erik, Erik/August, any number of other things. Ok but is it primarily dudeslash. Do they shut out the Kristina/Carl Johan shippers? Is that on fandom_wank?

heliza: I feel like the mods would have to let it on because technically it fits the description. But there would be a side chat bitching about it. Wilhelm/August!!! There would be that too.

blue: The mods who are against Kristina/Carl Johan would bitch in an AlM chatroom. Eventually screencaps are leaked, and the Kristina/Carl Johan people start their own archive called Unfortunate Romance.

blue: Ok one more thing. We need a name for the Felice specific archive. Where the Felice/Wilhelm/Simon polyshippers hang out in abundance. I grant this one to you, heliza.

heliza: Is that not Sprucewood? Or a different name?

blue: I leave it to you!

heliza: We haven't used sprucewood yet so I think we should!

blue: Sounds good to me!

heliza: Or if it's just Felice centered it could be Modern Nobility. I think Sprucewood is a reactionary thing actually, where the mods specifically say that all ships are allowed after drama has gone down at enough of the other sites.

blue: Yes. Sprucewood is also the most poly and kink friendly of the sites.

That’s all for now! Stay tuned for polls later today about which archives you would have frequented! (And if anyone is better than me at photoshopping/edits/etc and wants to make mockups of what the layouts of these imaginary Y2K websites would look like, down to the “this website contains SLASH, which means hot man on man action, don’t like don’t read, click the third comma in the second paragraph tp enter!” lengthy disclaimer page, then go forth. I think it would be funny.)

Hi, fren! I did not see the Dawntrail ask game on your page. But I would still very much like to know what Ryss' thoughts on Tural (and everything that happened there) would be!

Hi!! Yeah, I kind of wanted to reblog it to force myself to ponder about Ryss in DT buuut the thing is I can't seem to find something to properly chew on for in terms of new lore for her in this expac so I was afraid the asks would just join the pile of forever unanswered ones already in my inbox ahahahah

Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed playing through DT but I was waiting for new ideas and developments to come to my mind and it kinda... never did? Not yet at least ahahah, maybe it'll hit me like a freight train later on, as it often happens with me ahahah

But uh yeah some random thoughts Ryss has of Tural and the events under the cut, it's gonna be completely random as I try to think through it tho ahahah

First of all, Ryss got everything she wanted and more from her trip to Tural. Sure, she accepted to help Wuk Lamat because she just really enjoys her and her enthusiasm, but most of all she wanted to simply feel like an adventurer again. She wanted to see things she had never seen, meet new people and learn about their ways, and not feel like the weight of the world weight on her shoulders. And she got to do all of that and more!

I think she and Fornax took a lot of time during the rite to go off on their own and simply explore and have some good time together. Definitely giving Erenville new grey hairs when they just disappeared because something caught their eye again and again ahahah

I don't think she was overly concerned about the rite, to be honest. I want to say she had the time to exchange a bit more with Gulool Ja Ja than what the msq shows, and understood that he would not let a future tyrant take his place. Still, she was glad to see Wuk Lamat rise to the challenge, since her heart is in the right place at least.

As for S9 and Living Memory, well.. She obviously has the expected reaction of hating regulators, the way they consider souls and their denial of death. Not only does she see it as a complete disregard for life and what she fought to defend against the ascians's vision, but there's also a form of contempt and pity for people who lived such a strangely sheltered life.

As for the Endless in Living Memory... she has known grief, it brings back a familiar pain and yet... The question of wanting the dead to be brought back or for them to never die is something that she had many occasions to ponder after everything that had happened with the ascians, and she is at peace with that now.

If anything, it was bittersweet in the sense that yes it brought back painful memories, but seeing all of these people wanting to enact their last wishes, that they couldn't do in life... it made her realize that she had little to no regrets. Sure, she had known her fair share of hardships, made her fair share of mistakes, but standing here in that moment with Fornax, she could only draw the conclusion that if it was to be done again, she would go through all again to live the life she had known at their side.

Yeah... that's pretty much all I've got so far I think. Thanks for the ask!!

Jealous, much? (not me, never me)

Summary: During the recruitment for the Whickber Street Traders and Shopkeepers Association monthly meeting, Crowley catches the eye of someone. Aziraphale doesn't like that...

A/n: this is a very chill fic inspired by a prompt by our amazing @here-there-everyfuckenwhere also known as Ray. I hope you like it <3

Tags: @lavender-scented-soft-softgirl @yellownavystar (spero che non vi dispiaccia se vi ho taggato. In caso contrario, ignorate pure il post ahahah <3)

\_/

The recruitment for the Whickber Street Traders and Shopkeepers Association monthly meeting was going strangely smoothly.

He was halfway through the list and Aziraphale had managed to only give away three priceless books. He checked once again the list, tapping the fountain pen on his lower lip.

"Very well," he said, crossing over the previous shop name. "The next stop is Emma's grocery store but I do believe it will be a very easy and quick-"

He raised his head and stopped mid-sentence when his gaze couldn't find Crowley anywhere near him.

After looking around for a bit, he finally spotted him and his scarlet hair... talking to someone else across the street.

To be more precise, the someone else was talking to him while Crowley was simply looking and tapping something on his phone. The things however seemed to be related, given that the stranger kept poiting at the screen and leaning in to show him something and Crowley nodded, a crease of concentration separating his eyebrows.

They were standing side by side, their shoulders casually touching. Aziraphale frowned at that: it seemed quite improper to him, they didn't even know each other! Or at least, that's what he gathered since he had never seen that person around before.

Yet Crowley didn't seem to care about it, nor he looked at all fazed when the attractive human at his side deliberately touched his arm and "accidentaly" brushed their fingers on his.

Aziraphale felt something building inside of him. He couldn't quite tell what it was, but it left a sour taste in his mouth, as if his insides had started burning with the fires of Hell.

He straightened up and fixed his worn-out waistcoat before putting a smile on —one that, he could feel it, wasn't entirely on the wavelength as the mix of emotions he was feeling inside— and heading towards the two of them.

He cleared his voice when he was closer, receiving a confused look by Crowley's new acquaintance.

Now that he was closer, Aziraphale realised that they weren't as young as they seemed from the opposite side of the road, but their pleasant features were hard to ignore. They almost seemed sculpted by Michelangelo.

"Hello, is everything alright here?"

Crowley's face immediately shot up when he heard him, moving away from the wall he was leaning against to get to Aziraphale's side.

"Angel, did you know you could order food through your phone and then have it delivered to your door?"

"I had no idea."

Even though the mere idea did stir his stomach to more pleasant feelings, Aziraphale barely glanced at the screen Crowley was still looking at and kept all of his attention on the new smiling face in front of him.

"It's a pretty common thing to do nowadays," they explained with a shrug. "I'm really surprised you and your partner both didn't know about it."

"He's not my..." Aziraphale started at the same time as Crowley quickly muttered: "We're friends."

"Oh." Their face seemed to suddenly lit up, making the angel's visibly frown, as they tentatively turned their gaze back to Crowley. "Then perhaps I could give you my number?"

"I think you seem a bit lost, child." With the corners of his lips pulled painfully upwards and annoyance in his eyes, Aziraphale moved quickly his hand in the air. "You should head back home."

The stranger widened their eyes before quickly checking the time on their phone and then excusing themselves as they quickly walked down the street.

As he saw them disappear into the wave of the crowd, the relief that washed over him was much bigger then the little guilt whispering in the back of his mind. The knot in Aziraphale's stomach disappeared, as if it had never been there in the first place.

"Did you really miracle 'em away, angel?"

As he looked at Crowley, whose sunglasses had slid down his nose, enough for his yellow eyes to poke through, the angel felt another knot forming in his chest. A warmer one, a pleasant one.

"I'm sure they had other things to do anyway. I just..." Aziraphale moved his hands in the air, "pushed them in the right direction."

Crowley raised his eyebrows but didn't question him more on that. He pushed his sunglasses back on his eyes, keeping once again Aziraphale from that beautiful sight.

"Right. At least they finished explaining to me how this thing works."

Aziraphale smiled, and this time his eyes wrinkled in joy.

"Why don't you explain it to me while we walk to the grocery store," he offered as he placed a hand on Crowley's back, gently guiding him in the right direction before letting his hand fall back to his side.

Aziraphale didn't notice how Crowley tensed under his touch, nor how his Adam's apple moved as he gulped down the breath stuck in his throat.

As always, he never noticed.

Hi! I've been reading one of your fics "A study in Roja" and it's seriously a fun and ineteresting read!!

I like how the characters Thrax, Ozzy, Drix feel like the real canon versions of themselves! I was able to hear the original voices while reading their lines and it just makes me love this series more and more!!!

I just wanted to say that this fic is incredible! and sorry for not asking this sooner but, I was wondering..

how did you get into the OJ fandom?

I got into it by watching a compliation of Thrax's scenes and got hooked by his character and wanted more of him!

Anyhow just got curious as to how YOU got into this fandom.

Sorry if this is kinda all-over the place, but I'm definetly seeing the appeal of why people love Throzzy :DD

AW Yullalightk!!! I recognise you from your lovely comments on my fic!! I'm so happy you're enjoying it!!🥹🩷

It makes me so happy to hear that you're enjoying it!! I love these characters so much and I always want to do them justice if I can😭💙

OHH that is a good question, and it's a very long and strange story how I got into OJ...

For years I had been following a meme page on Facebook, and they had this weird tradition where they would post random throzzy art if there was a conflict or war going on in the world (very strange ahahah), but I basically found out about Throzzy from this meme page without ever watching the film. Then me and my brother started to make great big monuments of Thrax and Ozzy in Minecraft, and then finally in summer 2022 I decided to watch the film with him, and I was OBSESSED... hahahaa, a very strange introduction to the film!!

Ohhh your introduction to the film is so good!!! Thrax's scenes are insanely well animated, and he is definitely the biggest pull to watch the film!! When did you first get into it?

Thank you SO MUCH for your question and for all of your super kind interactions!! You are such a sweet person!!!!❤️❤️❤️

ONLY TO HURT YOU 5

After the fall from Heaven, Crowley quickly settled into Hell, he immediately understood how things worked. The recurring words were: TEMPTATIONS, CONDEMNED SOULS, UNHAPPINESS and DAMNATION.

He had made his way and stood out among all the other demons, in his own way but he had done it. It was so natural for him to tempt humans, a soft voice near his ear and a snap of his fingers and that was it! Every month many souls entered the files of Hell and even Lord Beelzebub was satisfied with this magnificent work.

Beelzebub: "We are all very pleased with you, demon Crowley. You know, we prefer you as a demon than as an angel."

Crowley: "Mmh thanks."

Beelzebub: "We would like you to pair up..."

Crowley: "No offense Lord Beelzebub, I work alone."

Crowley rarely partnered or teamed up with other demons, he was solitary and so he wanted to stay. He had already met the angel long before, in the Garden of Eden, they had exchanged a few words that day and from there they had not seen each other for a long time. When Crowley had no missions, he often liked to roam Earth in tree glades and smell the wood and flowers. On one of those days, while he was lying on a lawn, his nose was overwhelmed by a strange smell. So he decided to follow that trail up to a kind of farmhouse that seemed abandoned. When he got closer he heard strange noises coming from inside. He looked out of a half-open window to get a better look. What he saw was a naked man lying on a bed while a woman, also naked, stood over him as he continued to move his hips rapidly. Crowley turned away from the window slightly embarrassed, it's true that every demon had their own methods of tempting humans but he would never go that far for a soul. The girl had probably noticed him since the demons could perceive and recognize each other even when they changed the shape of their appearance.

A few minutes later Crowley heard the door of the house creak and saw that woman come out, this time she was dressed, long black boots, tight pants, a red shirt with a black corset cinched at the waist and long rich hair with purple streaks. She is very charming for being a demon.

Crowley: "What kind of demon are you?"

A:"Hello to you too, Crowley."

Crowley: "Well, I'm pleased to note that you know my name but I don't know yours. What should I call you?"

Angie: "Angie, nice. Lord Beelzebub told me about you. The solitary Crowley, excellent tempter and with the highest number of souls sent to hell."

Crowley: "Angie, Angie...wait, but you're the succubus of Hell, the orgy queen on Earth and the biggest cannabis smoker in history."

Angie: "That's right, that's me. You forgot 'hardworking slut'."

Crowley: "Ahah, I would never say that."

Angie: "I am a little bit. What brings you to these parts?"

Crowley: "A very strong smell coming from this place."

Angie: “You were drawn to these then.”

Angie pulled four joints out of her jacket pocket. She handed one to Crowley who sniffed it very intently.

Crowley: "Oh wow, yes, they're definitely making this smell."

Angie: "Do you like it?"

Crowley: "I don't know, I have mixed feelings about it."

Angie: "Do you want to try one with me?"

Crowley: "Mh, okay."

A few hours later they were both lying on some straw laughing and joking like old friends who had known each other for years, even if they had only known each other for a few hours.

Crowley: "Oh wow... this stuff is so strong."

Angie: "And it's the best...ahahaha."

Crowley: "But ahahah...sorry ahahahah...how can you afford all this Cannabis?"

Angie: "Do you remember the guy you saw me fucking before?"

Crowley: "Of course yes."

Angie: "Well... he and I have some sort of agreement... he supplies me with cannabis and I give him the charity of fucking him..."

Crowley: "Charity?! Come on, Angie...ahaha"

Angie: "Ahahaha...What?"

Crowley: "You may be a demon, but even demons have their dignity and you're wasted on someone like him. You deserve better, that's all."

Angie: "But he will soon be a new soul for Hell...and then you know it better than me...demons don't fall in love, we are damned and no one could feel love for us, Crowley."

Crowley: "Yeah, maybe you're right."

Those words remained in Crowley's head for many years, and they were also the reason why when Crowley started spending a lot more time with Aziraphale he didn't want to admit to himself that he was falling in love with him but obviously he couldn't declare it, there was too much in game. Then what everyone knows happened, an angel and a demon had managed to stop the end of the world, they had moved away from Hell and Paradise, they had lived for a few years in a serene and peaceful way, always remaining close to each other, Gabriel showed up naked in the angel's library and finally Aziraphale's stupid decision to return to Heaven and the Big Kiss. Then, obviously, another catastrophe was avoided by a pure miracle, Aziraphale had returned to Earth, he had looked for Crowley to ask him for help, the demon had categorically refused to help him and to make him go away, Crowley had had to use heavy means, including a bit of infernal flames, in which the angel limited himself only to defending himself and then left. Crowley then felt guilty for having attacked his only friend and sought him out in turn, he did not apologize but simply stayed close to him. So with a bit of luck and good friends they managed to make peace between Heaven and Hell, signing a kind of pact between the two factions, signing it as: 'THE GREAT INEFFABLE PACT'. Now everything was quiet, more or less. Crowley couldn't forgive Aziraphale, that abandonment had hurt him more than anything... more than his own fall. Now he needed someone and Angie was the only one who could, somehow, give him some comfort and take the place of the angel.

Fourth Wing Book 1 Update 3

Where I am: Page 324 of 516

She and Xander met her mother on the stairs on their way to flying together, they kissed and now they're training together.

What I think so far: I like it!

Positive points:

Ok now more and more the fact that the characters around her are starting to have more defined personalities and more concrete arcs makes it so that I'm starting to have more people to root for xd which helps the story a lot. Liam is great, Rioc is great, Rhi is the best!!! And they add a lot of colour to the story!

 There's clearly a secret sort of rebellion going on here which I find interesting. Was his father, who was the great traitor, good or bad? Is her mother evil? I bet that's what it is, a bit ugh, I think it would be cooler if her mother was bad but not evil, but I don't see any luck. Anyway, I find this part of the story interesting.

All the dragons' lines are absolutely brilliant 10 out of 10.

Negative points:

Yeah oh the dragons are ya know so we are too ya know is very strange. Why write that?! We already had enough “oh attraction is so great I can't think of anything else I can't even hate him” there was no need to add all this crepyness ugh it's horrible. It's like human animals I don't know, not sexy to me ahahah. (Note from future me: I was talking about the scene where the dragons are having fun and Violet comes across Xaden smoking and they kiss.)

Ugh Violence Violet is my new fragile! I got it! Ah ah ah so funny...not.

I feel like we mentioned that this was a kingdom for the first time on page 200 or so xd, which ok I guess, I just find it funny the assumption that I know this is like a “normal fantasy kingdom” and that it doesn't even need to be said. And I still don't quite understand how the whole thing is run. What are these generals doing in recruit schools, guys don't have anything to do in the war?!!! Like some, ok, but all! Like general go generaling to war guys. Basically this school looks like the centre of government with the exception that the king is somewhere?! Where is the king? Is anyone with him?! Or is everyone in this one super exclusive school in the kingdom?! Anyway tasy is a bit all over the place.

Stars I'd give: 3 stars

What I think will happen: Her mother is the bad guy, maybe even her sister only her father and her brother are the good guys in the family! The rebellion is good, which ok I understand because frankly these people run the kingdom in a frankly stupid way. I hate Dairn, reading people's memories without permission, what a jackass, and by the way I bet he's a spy who's supposed to be watching what the marked ones or whatever they're called do. Her signet, which hasn't been revealed yet, I bet will be something to do with light, luminosity something like that! In which case uhm boy general who manipulates shadows falls in love with ultra special girl who manipulates light Leigh Bardugo (Shadow and Bone writer) come get your royalties my girl, you're being robbed xd.
