Personal headcanon, Slimes and Mimics are distantly related, so while slimes can make themselves thicker and somewhat uniform, Mimics evolved to have a hard yet malleable shell, along with the ability to camouflage! Maybe a monster evolved by some living with humans but not being accepted, and others just living with other monsters. The mimic group, while they had lots of resources like food, had to survive discrimination and learned to hide. Soon becoming predatory.

I have it in my head that slimes and mimics have a common ancestor.

Perhaps slimes evolved out of a branch that decided to continue being mostly aquatic, utilizing their amorphous shape to squeeze into different pockets of liquid or containers that they can then use as traps to ensure prey. And mimics evolved out of another branch that decided to start hunting outside water, and overtime adapted to be more consistently solid- A necessity, given movement is hindered by a lot of new factors and the nature of newfound predators.

I think both slimes and mimics received negative reactions from both humans and other monsters back then. Perhaps slimes more easily learned to integrate themselves into different species' societies due to necessity, as their living conditions and prosperity are influenced by factors that more solid lifeforms can manipulate. Mimics, on the other hand, became loners and therefore had no need to cultivate such charismatic social skills- Not that there aren't highle socialbe and likable mimics out there, they're just not the norm. Both slimes and mimics are predatory, one species just tends to be more socially adaptable than the other.

From a slime's continued procreation with other monsters/humans, ecto monsters are born, such as Fasma.

And from a mimic's continued procreation with other monsters/humans, specialized shapeshifters are born.

How would the clergy men react if we called them "husband" while on the phone, like "hey mom, what am I doing? Oh I'm just with my husband in the kitchen. Yeah we're making dinner." And Morrel turning like "scuse me when!?"

Assuming you somehow have managed to keep a vaguely normal dynamic going on.

Morell probably burns his hand. Or cuts himself. He's lying there with a half amputated finger, probably causing you to panic and shriek, just staring straight while he bleeds. Holy shit, he has to call his folk. He's getting MARRIED.

Gallon freezes, like actually becomes solid for a second there. Then his tendrils become way too slick and the glass he held shatters on the floor. You uh- Are you- Are you going to propose? Is this a hint for him to propose?

Patches catches his head before it can fall into the pan he was handling. He's very quiet for the rest of the day. But, at some point, the dullahan approaches you awkwardly and asks you if you truly meant it.

Vinnel erupts into mad cackling. Hysterical laughter really. The knife he held is embedded in the cutting board and he storms outside to have a nice, long scream. He doesn't even know how he's feeling, but it's definitely positive.

Nebul does the smallest visible sign of a recoil, staring intensely at you. Did you mean it? Was that a slip? Huh. He stares at you wordlessly for however long it takes you to realize what you said, waiting for an explanation.

Fank-e tries to immediately ask you if you meant it, if you'd go that far for him, but his voice breaks into static. In fact, for a couple of minutes, he's too hyper to speak coherently, vibrating on a corner of the kitchen as he giggles to himself and taps at his visor.

Santi spits his drink, choking in the most unflattering way. He swears he can feel his heart stop for a moment. Although the incubus tries to play it cool and be suave about it, there's a level of such genuine vulnerability in his eye that startles you.

Grimbly covers his face. He leaves the room for a long moment to go make weird faces and scream into a pillow. He comes back as if nothing happened and spends his days in bated breath, waiting for you to ask for his hand in marriage.

Sybastian's head pops open so he can give you a wide-eyed stare. Marriage?? Husband?? Aren't you mates already? He doesn't know how to do marriage things, holy shit. When is it happening? Did he get amnesia? HUH? He's more anxious than anything.

Belo squawks and drops the hot tray he was carrying. There are tears in his eyes, he looks moments away from bawling. You can't! He's only your servant! He's not worthy of such an honor, it's scandalous. Deep down he wants that union so bad, he'd die for it.

[eldritch-spouse]

My impulsive add would say "I thought you was an Icon not a chicken, clean me yourself Vesper." Then I'd probably immediately die as he impales my pussy with his tongue

And you think he wouldn't clap back with a simple-

" Beg me. "

[eldritch-spouse]

Lmao not Luds car becoming a full on meme XD but not the point of this ask, once Rinx figures out we've "incognito" marked him hed probably going to be like "damnit, she got me this time." And start a war between marking things without the other knowing, wouldnt be surprised if Gr! Queen became a bloodhound for Rinxs cum like, "damnit Rinx I was going to wear this dress!" While outside her closet

You can become that bloodhound, or you can be smart about it and weaponize his own imp for this.

Drag Nena into the room and shove dresses at her, she'll easily sniff out the marked ones. This is all fun and games until Rinx catches on and forbids his head servant from squealing about it.

Anyone else would look at your shenanigans and wonder what breed of pervert you two are to be cumming on each other's belongings regularly.

Vesper thinks it's extremely romantic, the rest of the Icons are tired of smelling your cuntjuice like a pesky cologne.

Did Krulu do anything to raise his heirs while they were babies? I like to think hes just holding baby Adelo or Adrul and they suddenly puke on him. Krulu just stares and goes "Admin, take this disgusting creature before I lose my only heir."

That's very surface level, try to see the bigger picture.

Why was Krulu banished in the first place? Because he violated the laws of his kin by daring to create. How was he to his spawn? Like a father. He loved them. That's why he exploded so impressively when they were eradicated. Why was he hesitant in having offspring? Because of what happened with his spawn. Because of what he had become.

Although Krulu's love can oftentimes be considered "rough" and "cold", his offspring mark a pivotal shift in him. The moment where all his hard work to become more comfortable with the idea of creating anew grows into the capacity to experience genuine love and care for beings that are born of him. He feels safe, he feels that they are safe, that his loved ones are safe. Besides, there's a buried part of him from ages ago that knows what it's like to be in the presence of the vulnerable. It's not as if he's never handled a child in his life.

Sure, Krulu most definitely does not enjoy getting vomited on, but he's not about to throw a fit. He understands babies can't help certain bodily functions, demi-siadar or not they're still somewhat human in nature.

Krulu keeps a tight leash on his temper around his offspring.

Gluttony Queen meeting Vorti's children for the first time. "Awe look at you! Such handsome boys and beautiful girls! I know I'm not much but I hope I can be a good step-mom or at the very least a friend. Babe you have to give me a child someday, maybe by artificial insemination? Oh I know it will have the best brothers and sisters!" Just everyone sitting there like O-O while Vorticia is blushing like mad

Oh no, she's shooting that down fast.

Vorticia has had enough kids for a lifetime. You're adorable with that kind of talk, but she's not having more kids.

Please do get to know your new step-children, and the imp who helped raise them.

Vesper with a Queen who's afraid of him, like maybe shes been in abusive relationships and has been raped and seeing as hes the Icon of lust sex must be the only thing he cares about. Like shes fine with it all but just terrified that one day while shes asleep Vesper will take advantage of her. I saw that hes one of the kinder Icons and just wants love so I can see him doing mostly anything in his power to make her comfortable

TW: Mentions of past sexual abuse.

Vesper's never known what it's like to feel sexually helpless. It's just not something that happens to him, he's royalty, he's powerful, he has all the control he could ever ask for- So, sometimes, he finds it hard to put himself in the shoes of those who have been harassed or sexually traumatized.

But to him, it's of the utmost importance that he doesn't fuck this up with you. Vesper wants all of your sexual escapades, no matter how vanilla or kinky, to be nothing but mind-blowing and euphoric. If you've been hurt sexually, then he can't just toss you headfirst into carnality, even if he knows he would be the best fuck of your life and he doesn't want to ever hurt you unless it gratifies you.

Scared that any wrong move could trigger a complete rejection out of you, or worse, make you think of the Icon as a mirror of your previous abuser(s), Vesper will opt to let you initiate everything. You don't have to sleep in the same bed, even if it greatly saddens him, and you'll be given the key to lock your room by Lacai. If you request it as well, you will only have contact with servants of his that aren't concubi.

While sex and sexual acts will always be openly discussed, Vesper won't touch you intimately without some form of explicit permission and will instead gorge himself with others so he can always be on his best behavior around you. The King tries, oh does he, but Vesper can't help begging you to touch him more, begging you to just fuck him already. He's really struggling, but maybe he could find you a therapist in Hell, someone out there can help him prove himself!

One day, madly filled with want and torn by his own selfishness, Vesper will hand you the most powerful binds he can find, ask you to tie or otherwise incapacitate him with them, and do any sexual act of your choosing to him. He's grasping at straws and he doesn't think he can take not getting to love you physically for much longer...

Imagine Morrel comes home PISSED like, avoid his wife or she'll die kind of pissed, and his SO just looks over "Mori! I was just talking to your mom about names! What do you think Destiny or (insert mushroom based name) for a girl? I say destiny because it's like destiny that we met! But she wants to continue the line of proper mushroom monster names." He would probably break lol even more so if she added "we agreed the first boys name will be Morrel junior."

[I can taste the corn in this ask. /pos]

If he's that pissed, then he's probably not listening to you, let's be honest.

Morell doesn't fully process your words, in fact, he heads straight back out and starts fucking around with whatever trapping equipment he has around the house to calm his nerves. He might even "go hunting". Anything except be in that volatile state around you.

As the chef starts to slowly unwind, what you said actually gets processed and he stops midway through whatever he's up to, smilling to himself, wondering if his brain just made it up, and snorting at the corny names. He's very happy that you don't mind respecting the firstborn naming tradition and he feels shitty for having stormed out without a word when you were probably so excited- Now you likely think Morell is upset at you.

The shroom will eventually make his way back home with a a rough lined wood carving that's vaguely romantic. It's a silent apology. The two of you can work on names later.

[eldritch-spouse]

"The boys are summoned" why is this so fucking funny??? Like the bois, the gang, the trio of you're fucked because you messes with the wrong bitch

They're mommy's boys, if Katia tells them to come over, they will.

They're very protective of their mom.

[eldritch-spouse]

Pinnie, you have made a mistake. *sits down and gets comfortable* so tell me more about history, I mean, as a dumb human everything I know must be wrong! And I'm sure a kind, handsome man like yourself would be willing to teach me? *leans against the historian*

[Mm, not exactly hitting the mark with him.]

(Not expecting you to be half as forward as you're being, he seems to become extremely uncomfortable and freeze for several seconds. He cautiously scoots away from you, shivering.)

" ... I suppose I am? Willing to teach you, that is. "

(His gaze fixes on you sharply. Something tells you the demonoid is second-guessing his choice.)

[eldritch-spouse]

Your sleeping in bed with your giant sloth demon husband when you wake up, cursing the amount of water you drank before bed you try to wriggle from Zizz's grasp but cant. With to much pride to piss yourself you think of a way to wake him up, then you get an idea. He told you only to use it for emergencies but this IS an emergency "Xhi'ske wake up!" You pray this will wake the slumbering demon

He's very, very irritated.

Huffing and growling at being startled like that before rolling over and mumbling in a tongue you can't interpret. It's like being woken by a massive air horn and a punch to the face.

But hey, congrats, you did not piss yourself. 🎉

[eldritch-spouse]

I'M BACK.

Thank you for the patience and kind messages. 🤍

[eldritch-spouse]

slay that semester pin ✨

Thenk you guys! :'))

Things are going okay, it's just lots of work.

That being said, if you see me miss a day or two in December, it's because I'm trying to get something over and done with regarding Uni, so don't be alarmed or anything. 🤍

Gifted related asks 🎀

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 It was all worth it.

Aw, thenk!! <:D

I actually felt it was a little underwhelming, as I had the alternative route more planned out in my head than I did this one.

It was fun though! And I'm only sad it took as long as it did because of that little break I took for roughly a week. But I did need it.

I'm glad it was fun for you, because it certainly was for me as well! I loved all the twists and turns of people picking things I never expected and having to go with it in a way that fits in. It was very amusing! I'm not opposed to doing something similar again, but I want to take a step back from it so I can examine what I did.

And, you know, focus on some more unrelated oneshots I've been putting off.

It's a goofy series. :7

Oh, but that ruins the fun, doesn't it? It's so much better for Sybastian when you don't see it coming.

Krulu did, in fact, have a wonderful meeting with the Icons. 😏

Aaaaaaah thenk. ///✨️ I'm glad you think so!

I mean, at the start of this, I didn't even plan to make more than two or three parts! I was genuinely just trying to both dip my toes in a "cyoa" style and also making use of the new Tumblr polls. That was it.

But then I started getting into it. I liked getting to know what the audience was thinking and why they picked who they picked, and I started getting too many ideas to just keep it a 2-3 part thing.

Eventually, I did have to create a scheme of sorts. I had a series of ends planned out, and the beginning never changes. I had all the available characters on one side, and I started slowly piecing a series of paths together, tweaking what would lead to what.

Everytime I released a part with a poll, I would have (in my notes file) a small summary of what each part would entail, and what other options it would lead to. Admittedly, sometimes I prioritized one part over the other, and it came back to bite me in the ass, but I was never at a loss for what to do.

I'm sad I didn't get to write for the aquarium, or that the other ending wasn't picked, but it was still very satisfying all the same.

I cant get over Gallon, hes to fuckin hot! Soooooo

On the off chance I DO waltz in and make it to the bar, "can I get a human safe drink? Possible with a hint of handsome?" As I wink at him in my pretty red dress that only goes a little past my thighs, legs crossed properly, hair brushed and put into a neat bun, a rose decorating it. "I heard you eat humans here, I wouldnt mind being YOUR dinner."

[This is not going the way you want it to due to very obvious reasons. But hey, you tried. 🫡 In order to make it minimally sensical, you need to have been brought there by someone, otherwise The Clergy will use ilusions to remain hidden.]

Humans aren't allowed to wander.

That's a rule, and Gallon's pretty sure the guidelines haven't been altered last minute. Admin would have warned him. He checks the group chat for recent announcements anyway. Nothing.

Right. So what the fuck are you doing here? He squints at your figure as you approach, trying to decipher if you're just a very humanoid monster. Doesn't look like it, and he's not seeing anyone you could feasibly belong to. You're also in pristine condition, if the admittedly tasteful get-up is any indication, meaning you're not an escapist either. So who the fuck tossed you in here? Matter of fact, why aren't you dead yet?

The bartender watches you head his way, the crowd of monsters miraculously too inebriated to even register your presence. If he didn't know better, he'd say you have some sort of sinister magic on your side.

You're either entirely vapid or seeking to sacrifice yourself, there's no other explanation for your behavior as you sit on the stool closest to him. When those words are muttered, the slime can't contain himself, breaking out into a fit of mad cackling, barking his amusement out to the entire floor. There's tears running down his eye.

Oh, you're a riot already.

Suddenly, everyone seems to be looking at you.

" Dearest, have you any idea where you are right now? " He gets out past the helpless chuckling. A tentacle comes to tilt your chin this way and that, as if the monster is looking for some sort of cranial damage. " Are you lost, cherry? We don't serve your kind here. "

Your stupidity is charming to the barman, oh and you're so dolled up, a gorgeous little thing Gallon could almost believe Krulu themselves sent to him as a reward.

There's an interested hum from a demon not too far away, a tall and dark being with a completely white face.

" I could take her off your hands before Belo hears about this. You won't even have to write a report, hm? "

Gallon offers Santi a warning glance, grin stretching. " Tempting, try harder next time. "

A long tentacle snatches you off your stool and hastily begins dragging your form behind the counter, next to him. More tendrils joint it, forming a deceptively thin, durable net around your torso. Gallon's not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. He knows to stay away from things that aren't his, but if you walked right up to him, then you clearly want to be.

You're given a longing, intense glance while the slime resumes his workflow and the crowd mutters in disappointment when nothing happens.

" You're going to sit there all pretty for me until my shift's over. " If you want to live anyway. " Afterwards, we can get to know each other... "

It seems he's going to have a couple of interesting days ahead.

I understand if you dont wanna do this one, but, what if Syb had a blind S/O, like, shes just walking around the house and kicks a table that was moved one inch and she screams "damnit Syb!" Bc like, blind people use memory to navigate a lot of places, so if something is moved it fucks with them. Maybe theres 1 extra chair, he thinks hes being sneaky bc she cant see the 3rd chair but shes standing arms crossed like, "really?"

Although that is a funny idea, it's also redundant.

What is the point in a mimic masking itself as an object, if you can't even spot them to begin with? Sybastian has no reason to hide, you literally can't tell when he's in front of you unless he makes noise/vibrations or gets too close.

Sure, he's saddened that he can't play his hide and seek games with you the typical way, but it won't be a deal breaker for the mimic.

In fact, Syb can be scummy and pretend to be your chair/couch/bed, so that you sit on him unknowingly. Maybe your sensory input from touch is acute enough that you'll notice the minimal difference in texture though, and that would really impress him.

He's very keen on letting you feel around his body, to get to know him. He'd break a finger to have you massage his tongue.
