I was desperate for Hades at the time

~~~~~~~~

Fluff-

BEST DAMN HUSBAND!!!💗👏

Even if he's busy with his role as king of the underworld (which is NOT hell), he'll still spend time with you.

He will absolutely help you with anything, just ask.

If it's that time of the month, he will take good care of you. At first it's stressful, but he pushes through to see you happy and satisfied.

His compliments are sometimes hard to fully understand, but he truly means it.

He doesn't usually give you pet names, but he calls you many when he's feeling affectionate. Love, my beloved, my queen and many others.

His kisses are amazing! He'll kiss your forehead, lips, hands, even your face!

When he's stressed, whenever it's from his job or something else, first thing he does is call you over so he can hug you. Look at his arms and tell me you don't want them around you, I dare you.

If you want to play with Cerberus, he'll let you but will keep watch just in case. Cerberus is huge and can accidentally hurt you and he don't want that.

This god is one who puts you above him.

Overall, a husband we don't deserve but need.

NSFW-

Honestly, sex with Hades sounds like a dream come true.

He doesn't want to make you uncomfortable, not does he want to hurt you, so he asks for consent (as any normal person should do)

He's down to try anything as long as it pleases both of you (mostly you)

Hades can be loving during sex, so he'll worship your body, even more if you're feeling insecure about your body.

He doesn't mind being underneath you, but prefers being on top. Seeing your expressions as he thrusts in you is a heavenly sight for him.

If you caress him, he's more than happy to feel your hands on his chest and arms. Just let him return the favour.

And when he returns the favour, he will copy you. If you touched his chest, his hands are groping your breasts. Same will go for any other part you may have felt.

He prefers to do it on the bed, but if he can't, he'll bounce you on his cock as he works.

Sometimes he'll even bend you over and just fuck you right then and there.

With how vocal he can be, it depends. If he's the one taking over, a few grunts and occasionally some quiet moans can be heard. If you're taking the lead, he's a lot more vocal.

Sex with Hades? Sign me the hell up!

Ok idea I know he has a dog but hades, loki and Beelzebub also give me cat dad energy? So maybe reader getting them a cat? That’s exactly like them? Fluff plz

Seperate btw

Thanks for the request! Sadly I haven't read the manga up to Beelzebub yet so I can't write for him. I hope you don't mind I only did Hades and Loki! These where very fun to write for though.

Warnings: none. Just Loki and Hades being Cat-dads.

Request: Yes.

Words: 515.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

Hades

Visible confusion. Why are you bringing him a cat?

"Darling, what is this?"

Allows you to set the said cat down into his lap as you explained you'd found the poor fella outside and thought he'd be a good cat dad.

He's flattered, truly.

Hades accepts this cat as a gift from his beloved and names them Diablo if it's a boy and Luci if it's a girl.

Unlike his dog, Cerberus, this feline is small and therefore accompanies him everywhere. Hades has taught this cat to perch or lay across his shoulders. They are with eachother all the time.

He enjoys how calm Diabolo/Luci seems to be and how clean they are while grooming themselves.

Hades also makes sure they get premium cat food and are only served the best. They are the King of helheim's pet, after all. Their litter is scooped at least once everyday and they are fed steady meals.

They're a pampered cat, though they never seem to mind if something falls behind schedule. Hades only realizes how alike he and this cat is when you point it out to him.

His response is a smile and to rub behind the cats ear gently.

"I suppose you are correct, my beloved. I do make a good cat dad."

Loki

This cat was made to cause trouble. And Loki knows and exploited it from the day you came in with them.

"Oh? And who do I owe the gratitude too?" He had asked, laughter in his voice while you set the cat down in his lap.

"I found the little booger outside. I figured you'd be a good Catdad."

Inwardly snickers. Oh he's going to teach this cat how to terrorize in style.

He names this cat Bandit. Doesn't care if it's boy or girl. Loki makes the cat float around with him w/magic just because I said so.

Munin and Hugin are less than happy Loki had taught Bandit how to case them down and knock them out of air. Odin also does not see any good in this.

Bandit is always knocking over things. Not a very graceful cat if they get up on a shelf and there's something on it- just pray it's not fragile. Because they are knocking it or themselves off the shelf and then walking away like nothing happened.

They usually nap with Loki and are always curled up on his chest or under his arm when you guys go to bed.

Loki has pointed out so many times how alike he and Bandit are. He's quite proud of it.

Not the cleanest, Loki does always make sure Bandit has food and water, though the litter box may get a bit dirty before it's cleaned out.

Thor is unamused at Bandit coming into his room to chew on his hair.

[chaotic-orion]

Mythos

I am the Nemean lion snarling at the Man, hackles bristling into needles to poke out the eyes of Actaeon so that he may be blind and not a stag at the mercy of his own hounds. I believe that dogs will always recognize their owner, still, if there be a price to pay. I am Autolycus' moon, chilled into stunned silence as the king rips apart his own flock, beloved piece by beloved piece: A cursed man always seems to destroy what he is blessed to have. I am the vultures gobbling up Prometheus’ liver, and it tastes like fire, and he tells me, "Your hair reminds me of smoke." and I lose my feathers, and I eat the ash. I am the Giant Polyphemus sleeping deep in the belly of the Earth, my mother singing. I am Atlas with the world on my shoulders. I am Medusa with her crown of snakes; Did you know she still wears her goddess' colors? To have faith in a God that abandoned her, "Maybe I should be more like my mother." I am the sighing Hydra weeping to the setting sun, breathlessly waiting for the next two mouths to rise from the bloody stump. I am trying to build myself into gratitude, come crawling up from Tartarus, ignoring Hades as he rages, "I am still your father!" and Cerberus howling my name. I am each star girding around Orion's waist, his fingers hot knives combing through Artemis' long, curly hair. I meet Orpheus at the beginning of the story, and know what it means for another relationship to be doomed to fail. I circle back around, always seeming to bite at my own tail.

Using WHB as an excuse to talk about gaming (pt. 2)

With the character voicelines being revealed in WHB and Xeno Cocytus Crucible FA gaming/Arknights x MonHun event grinding in the background (I stopped at 2 FLB copies by the time Xeno Crucible ended), it's about time I talk about one of my favorite things when it comes to talking about games, that being character development through voicelines! Because these voicelines come a long way to actually describe how a character actually is, and it's often these little details that can make or break a game for me.

What do I mean with these tiny voicelines? It's those little cut-ins, those quotes characters throw out in battle. For me, a good quote is one that displays aspects of their personality without making it seem like those aspects are the sole part of their personality.

(More under the cut, along with a spoiler warning for the What Makes the Sky Blue trilogy from Granblue Fantasy, as well as both Integrated Strategies 2 and Guide Ahead from Arknights!)

WHB's in-battle quotes seem to really hammer in the fact that they're in a war and are out for the angels' blood. Which is completely fair - this is the main premise of the game, after all. But there are several standout lines for me personally, especially in the context of their brief character introductions.

First of all, Naberius. Cool, calm, and collected - demons aren't exactly keen on pissing him off because he can shapeshift into a cerberus in his rage. He himself isn't fond of getting angry and going on a rampage, which I feel is exemplified in his quote.

To me, this is an indication of the ability to keep his emotions on check, so that he won't rampage on the battlefield. It's a warning of sorts, a "You won't like me when I'm angry", spoken with an air of confidence and mastery of his own abilities. Not quite unhinged, he still has his wits on his head - that is, until you push him enough for him to fly into a rage.

Now, you want to know who's unhinged period? Dantalian.

I compared Dantalian to Executioner Specialists because that's really how I envision his fighting style - specifically Kirin R Yato's second skill. Get up close and personal, beat up a prime target while drawing attention to yourself, retreat and go into hiding while finding another opening. Dantalian offering his enemies to write on his skin actually plays well into his character design, with the writings on his skin, as well as him fighting up close and personal just to feel fear!

Also, important to note that it would seem like he's taunting the angels. Given what we know about him, I think it's more than likely he's pissing the angels off by implying that this is definitely his victory, not the angels'.

And on the other side of the coin, we have a relatively sane individual whose only priority is to defeat the angels - Leviathan!

My baby boy, despite his jealousy and agoraphobia, is still able and willing to fight for the sake of his people on the battlefield. Very task-focused, he also shows signs of protectiveness towards his fellow demons on the battlefield - perhaps, it shouldn't come as a surprise, considering the fact that he is a beloved king.

In fact, it would seem his mindset in battle is 'battle first, emotions later' - his battle quote comes off as very...detached, for lack of better words. No threats, no taunts, simply a promise to eliminate all hostiles.

For a less detached yet equally serious person, we turn to Marbas.

He is sharp and succinct in his delivery of treatment progress. Efficient as well, because you're in the battlefield, and injured people will keep on rolling in until the fighting is over.

Another way I like to see skill proc voicelines getting utilized is characterizations that may not necessarily reflect only their fighting styles. Some voiceline cases in Arknights may be similar to WHB, like Lumen - but the delivery by all of his voice actors makes it clear that our therapist fish man Jordi Fontanarossa simply isn't someone used to combat. He is, by his own admission, just an ordinary person - prone to anxiety, focused on his job as a healer. He brings a briefcase into the battlefield in his chibi sprite for crying out loud.

While Lumen's voiceline essentially has the same 'function' and setting as Marbas's voiceline, in the sense that they are stating the progress of their healing, Lumen's delivery is noticeably more frantic compared to Marbas's calmer delivery. Well...he is one of the few people who asks for some time to breathe upon being asked to lead a squad (placed on slot 1 in the squad formation screen).

Contrast this with the more battle-hardened but equally dedicated Executor, real name Federico Giallo, an executor from Laterano's Notarial Hall and literal angel with a shotgun. He is extremely dedicated to his job, and his reference to 'breaking the taboo' is one directed towards one of the Sankta's laws.

See, the angels of Arknights, the Sanktas, live under a set of rules universally known as the Law. One of these rules is the fact that they cannot aim their guns at fellow Sanktas, lest they become a Fallen. However, there are known exceptions, such as the climax of Guide Ahead with both Pope Yvangelista and Andoain shooting at each other, as well as executors like Executor/Federico being allowed to shoot and kill fellow Sankta if they are proven to be a danger. Hence, his mention of breaking the taboo.

As for fellow, non-Sankta Laterano citizens...we turn to Fiammetta, a Liberi and Mostima's keeper.

Fiammetta is often seen as a dry and serious woman who's tired of the shit her coworkers put her through (finballs spiked with peppers, the many codenames her superiors gave to her, wing stickers on her back, and more). She is driven by anger towards Andoain, not being able to forgive him for an incident in the past - the exact same incident that turned Mostima into a Fallen. She really only flies off the handle when facing him, all but telling him that even if the entirety of Laterano would forgive him, she would never do so. "I will sodomize and face-fuck you", anyone?

Yet she keeps her prickly attitude outside of facing Andoain, and it shows - the delivery of this line in particularly sells it. It's dry, matter-of-fact, and borderline sarcastic - she's not actually sorry for forgetting to hold the shot back. Her hot-headedness and emotionality really does show here, in spite of her relative calmer image. And honestly, I'd argue this is how she really is - I often get the impression that she really does care and worry about the Doctor, even though she insists that the things she does are due to contractual obligations. She just doesn't get easily flustered.

And what about someone who's at least a little bit unhinged yet attempts to keep themself sane? Then we turn our attention to Shalem.

Shalem is a man who defected and ran away from a mysterious theater troupe known as the Crimson Troupe - who are actually assassins in disguise. The things he experienced in the past, including the Crimson Troupe, was enough to break him, and his emotional stability at this current point in the timeline is...let's just say less than ideal. And what better way to reflect that in his absolutely unhinged laughter in one of his battle voicelines?

The Crimson Troupe is the main antagonist of the second instalment of Integrated Strategies, Phantom and the Crimson Solitaire. Here, he is the Operator you get by playing the game mode, and he is the one who decided to save Phantom - otherwise known as Lucian, the man who massacred several of the troupe members and is being brainwashed by the troupe in the events of the game mode. So, Shalem ends up taking on the mission to save Phantom from the troupe.

Shalem apparently also has the same VA as Leviathan, btw.

ANYWAYS! One last thing I really like to see in terns of voiceline usage is making them reflect character development! It's present in the unlockable voicelines as you promote and increase an Operator's Trust in Arknights, but I do feel it's done really well in Granblue Fantasy. As an example: meet Sandalphon.

Sandalphon started out as an antagonist in the first What Makes the Sky Blue. Blinded by hatred and anger towards Lucifer, he vowed to destroy everything the Supreme Primarch held dear to his heart - which just so happens to be the Skydoms. He even goes so far as to drop the player character down to the endless skies near the end of the event! His Grand version (the Earth version) is him at his peak, after absorbing the four tetra-element Primarch's wings to use as his own.

He is rendered in an 'imprisoned' state until the time the second What Makes the Sky Blue event rolls around, and the Paradise Lost sub title is fitting. Because by this point, Lucifer is killed by Beelzebub by decapitation and his body taken by Belial to revive Lucilius, leaving behind Lucifer's head for Sandalphon to find upon leaving the angelic cradle he was imprisoned in. Lucifer bequeaths his Supreme Primarch powers and role to Sandalphon, fulfilling his original duty - to serve as Lucifer's replacement should he one day fail to perform his duties. But there is no fanfare to this event, and Sandalphon is left with many regrets and unspoken apologies towards Lucifer, his first friend and companion in their mutual loneliness - with Sandalphon always remaining behind while Lucifer often left to tend to his Supreme Primarch duties. This is the Sandalphon that is the base of his event version (Light element).

A large chunk of his character development is resolved on the final instalment of the trilogy, 000. Here, Sandalphon vows to see through Lucifer's wish for a blue and peaceful sky, and he fights off Lucilius and Belial just to do so (Beelzebub was first weakened by Lucilius and then sealed away by Cagliostro, so err...better luck next time, Bubs). A lot of parallels happen to tie off loose ends - Sandalphon uses the wings of the tetra-element Primarchs to fight toe-to-toe with Lucilius on Michael's insistence, Sandalphon is now the one to say "ittekimasu (I'm going now)" instead of Lucifer who now says "itterashai (I'll be waiting)", and the player character is the one who grabs on to Sandalphon's hand to save him from a deadly fall to the bottom of the skies. This is the version being showcased in the above vid, as a skin for his Earth version - the version itself being a 5* uncap for the event version from Paradise Lost (the uncap material is the event reward).

All of his voicelines reflect his promise to Lucifer now! In order (as translated in the GBF Wiki):

This is the power of an angel/Primarch. Use it well.

I won't let you destroy our wish!

I will annihilate you...

I will put an end to all calamity...Ain Soph Aur!

Which is insane because the other previous versions of Sandalphon, not counting his Valentine's and summer alts? They're a touch too emotional, a touch too angry, and a touch too hateful (Earth). The summer alt also reflects some character development from The Maydays event, and hnghhh Primarchs are good give playable Gabriel and my second Michael weap (or should I say Fire PnS-) please I am a suffering Water and Fire main

Anyways yeah! Voicelines gud. Tiny character snippets gud. Me likey.

Miki and Cerberus VJ AU

I made another design for my VJ AU, this time for Miki.Even before Miki was brought back to life with the powers of an archangel by Ryo/Satan Miki was gifted a Cerberus puppy by Hades and Persephone after she suffered time loop after time loop saw that being touched by death constantly and having dreams and visions of her death had meant that she wasn't quite human anymore and that destiny had something in store for her and she would need help. When Miki was brought back to life, she spend time trying to get used to her new powers and reflecting on everything she had gone through, trying to find herself. However, when the Hell Quake of Kanto happened and Ryo/Satan brought Zennon back to have him punish him, Akira and Miki sensing that it would big about more trouble tried to prevent it, however when they both crossed into Kanto they suffered from the same curse Ryo/Satan had placed on himself, splitting into separate forms and losing their memories of who they are. One of Miki's form was her normal human form, another a feral beast like woman form that is currently chained up for the sake all of Kanto since its rage was enough to destroy all of Kanto and would only be released as a last resort, Miki's third form goes back to the afterlife, playing judge to all the lost souls that come. Miki's memories shifted back to her original memories back to the day before she met either Akira or Ryo, even so when she met Ryo they couldn't help feel drawn together, unconsciously remembering the love they once shared, wandering together until they found a home together in Slum Town and worked at Restaurant King as waiters. When the Slum King had wanted Miki to be his next wife, Ryo convinces Miki to flee while he distracted the Slum King, Miki reluctantly leaves, hoping that Ryo would be able to catch up to her. As Miki ran, she was being pursued by a few of the Slum King's men and was forced to fight back against them. While she had manged to kill one of them, she was still overwhelmed by the other two and was about to be hauled away until a three headed dog jumped the two men and chewed on their faces, killing them. Miki was at first frightened by the strange dog until she noticed they became very friendly with her, as though they had belonged to her. Miki gives the dog the fitting name, Cerberus and take him along with her. Searching for Ryo, she gets word about the Slum King's new Slum Queen and the description of her appearance made Miki's alarm bell go off, her beloved had been forced into becoming that monster's wife and Miki resolved to become stronger and rescue him.

Many of the monsters in this book are family. Scylla, Chimera, the Hydra, and the Sphinx, at least according to some chroniclers, are sisters; so is the original Orgon, the mother of Medusa. The Harpies, in one story, are at least their half-siblings. They are also kin to the three-headed dog Cerberus, who guards the underworld; the iron-skinned Nemean lion; and the eagle who perpetually eats the liver of Prometheus, creater of humans, as punishment for stealing fire from the gods. The mother of all these creatures is Echidna, and, as is fitting for the mother of monsters, she is also a monster herself: a woman to the waist, a snake below. Echidna lived in hiding. Born in a cave, she birthed her children in a cave, and then retreated with them to a cave (or possibly to the underworld prison-pit Tartarus) after her mate Typhon challenged Zeus, king of gods, and was defeated. Typhon, a hundred-headed winged giant with snakes for legs, wound up trapped under what is now Mount Etna. The danger in fighting a god is that he might put a mountain on you. And Echidna, born in darkness, never really out of darkness, went further underground in fear of vengeance. "Echidna, his hideous mate, escaped destruction," says my beloved childhood volume D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths. "She cowered in a cave, protecting Typon's dreadful offspring, and Zeus let them live as a challenge to future heroes." Technically, Echidna's story is a footnote to Typhon's. He fought for supremacy against the gods; she only bore his children. But D'Aulaires' illlustrates this moment -- Typhon's hubris, defeat, and imprisonment in a volcano -- with a half-page, full-color illustration of Echidna. She huddles with her horrible children under a canopy of stalactites, her hair as elaborately curled as a classical statue's, her snake tail studded with inflamed pinkish dots that look like nipples or sores. The spiky rock walls cup her gently and closely as a Labrador's mouth. Green-skinned and red-eyed, she grimaces and peers around her small cell, arms reached out to protectively cradle the baby monstrosities she suckles. All her children are depicted in cuddly baby form: a puppy-faced Nemean lion, a Sphinx with stubby immature wings. They are all she has. They will grow to strike fear in the hearts of men.

i was tagged by @wndfsh, so here are five of my favorite characters! (thanks for the tag!) In no particular order... 1.VHD I just think that D is... such a good spin on the traditional hero, in a way that is still very traditional. I love that its a re-tellilng of a cowboy on a tireless trek, with no home. D is such a good meshing of the traditional macho wanderer while also being... such a retelling of it? Ethereally beautiful and soft spoken, while also being so distant that you the watcher feel that you don't know him at all. I love love love love it. D has resigned himself to sit by and watch time go by, like a stone in a river and I love that.

2.Zidane Tribal One of my oldest fave characters. I remember playing FF9 when it first came out for the PS1, or rather, watching my family play it. I was always so enthralled by Zidane. He is the foil to Cloud and Squalls' moody teenage heroism. A bright and excitable hero who despite being rougish and a thief, wants to do the right thing? He wants to save the girl and help his friends, he wants to save the kingdom and all because its the right thing to do? I always loved that he is so runty in stature and so lithe compared to a lot of the american comic book archetypes I grew up with. I'm also a sucker for a character who is a hopeless romantic. LOVE HIM.

3.Vincent Valentine My beloved undead hopeless romantic. I - okay I remember playing Dirge of Cerberus over and over again for the ps2. Going through a time in my life where I felt completely isolated, freakish and like no one would ever understand or even like me. Vincent took all of those things and embodies them all. Still, he does his best to do the right thing. This man is TIRED but... I suppose I always liked that he was gloomy. And that he had people who cared about him despite that.

Yeah we all make jokes about how he needs to get over Lucrecia but... I love that he didn't? He is a character that's been through so much and will never be his old self again. That has always resonated with me.

4.Vivi Ornitier HE'S JUST A LITTLE GUY. Just a little runty guy doing his best and I love that for him. Truly that's it. That's all. We all go on a journey to find out if we're really human and what that even means.

5.Kite

Another gloomy guy. Something about characters with stitches has always appealed to me. Limbs that are mismatched and ill-fitting, skin that feels alien. Being a zombie shambling through your own life. I love that he has a poor attitude about everything. I love that he's a loner, even by Hunters' standards. I love that his only friend is a talking clown head of his own making. Also long hair morose hook nose, all my favorite features. King shit.

Saw your last post, so here goes!

What's your favorite scene from the dmc games? 👀

Hi, my dear mutual, thank you very much for the ask)))

The answer came to me surprisingly easy, though I have two of them because I can't decide - Nero roasting Goliath and King Cerberus weapon intro from 5. I love my plot (you know that), and there are some great emotional beats in dmc, but they are kind-of fanon in a way that, they exist in your head, you have to envision them happening. If it's dmc3 conflict scenes then you have to rely on your vision of what's going on through each twin's head in order to fully get the tragedy that's happening. There is beauty in leaving it to the imagination, and you know I love finding more and more stuff to be sad about interpretations of characters.

But also when you're in-game it's all wacky wahoo demon gore gameplay, keep calm and make them cry, have fun, y'know, so the best feeling cutscenes are the ones that resonate with your feelings as a player. This is also why all Vergil fights are so distinctive, cause with every other enemies you get to have fun and play around, but when it comes down to Vergil - it's now serious (though skilled players bully the hell out of him too). I imagine the same applies to the Nelo fight, and Mundus...if he wasn't a weird shooting gallery, the game does stumble there.

Nero bullying Goliath is just...very sweet in a way? Look at the adorable punk boi go!!! That's also kind the moment that solidifies him as the protagonist, cause if from there the entire game and plot were from his POV I wouldn't have minded at all (but I am very happy to have so many characters to play with). He feels much more self-assured, he grew out of teen angst that made him relatable, but kind of cringe-y to watch, and he just casually bullies a church-sized demon, that's very cool! Even started adapting his uncle's lazy-sleeping tendencies, that's adorable mimicry right there.

And KC weapon introduction is just chef's kiss. It's absolutely perfect. The KC fight itself is all great and fun and crazy, and the weapon intro is the cherry on top.

Seriously, just listen to the boss fight music. I have no idea who allowed this, but I want to thank them very much. When did the game become a techno-rave??? Why is an elemental dog techno-raver??? I have no idea, but this is so. fun. Also the little smile Dante does in that spin attack kills me, it's adorable (also Dante clearly needed new toys to play with as moral support for 5 plot)

Honourable mention: Nico barely avoiding hitting Nero and Nero going 'perfect timing'. That had me snorting xD

I would love to hear your answer to the question as well!

The Forsaken I

Summary: You had only known about the many stories of Greek Mythology, interest peaked from a young age. Of the Gods and Goddesses as well as the monsters and heroes. But never in your life, during one of the many tours have you joined in seeing the ruins of the temples of Greece, did you even think of seeing your image in one of the bust. Persephone was her name, the most protected daughter of Demeter, and the beloved wife of Hades. Character: Hades!Loki Laufeyson x Persephone!Reader. Zeus!Tony Stark. Artemis!Wanda Maximoff. Apollo!Pietro Maximoff. Word Count: 701 Series Warnings: None

Chapter 1: Rhubarb

/ˈro͞oˌbärb/ the thick leaf stalks of a cultivated plant of the dock family, which are reddish or green and eaten as a fruit after cooking.

"ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴅ sʜᴀʟʟ ʀᴇᴍᴀɪɴ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪᴠɪɴɢ"

In the midst of the peace in the Underworld, there was something unsettling in the air. That much Hades had come to realize. Cerberus was uneasy, barks echoing throughout the empty halls of his kingdom. Souls wallowing and moaning more than usual, and the lack of life only his wife could provide was what finally placed the pieces together.

Where was his wife?

The eons together, he had known when and where you were supposed to leave the Underworld to be with your mother and the nymphs. You still had a month to go when you were supposed to head home. A whole month to spend with him—to make the most out of before your departure and he was left to wait for your return all over again.

“Persephone.” His voice echoed, and it was as if time had stopped as he heard no response, but of his own voice lingering in the air. “My Beloved.”

No response.

Cold sweat slid through the King of the Underworld’s whole body. He feared for the worse as he navigated throughout the entirety of his domain, of his home, of his kingdom but he was left empty handed in his travels. His voice that had was often calm and collected, now grew agitated, to frustrated, to the inevitable desperation of his missing wife.

“Hermes!” Hades’ voice echoed and a panicked Messenger God has arrived just as quickly as the God had called for him. “Where is Persephone?” He questioned, unafraid of the repercussion of punishing the God should he have any involvement of his wife’s sudden disappearance.

“I thought she was with you?” The Messenger God looked confused looking right back at him before something clicked in his mind and further cemented the fear of Hades that was slowly coming to life. “It wasn’t you she was with, wasn’t she?”

“Who would dare come to my realm and take my wife?”

The silence was heavy with the answer that Hades truly did not want to hear.

~

“Brother! Long time no see.” Trust Zeus to further dampen his already darkening mood.

“Where is she?” Hades’ words left no room for anyone’s lies. “Where is that wretched woman?” He barked, ready to tear Olympus to the ground to find his wife.

“What are you talking about?”

“Demeter.” He spat earning a gasp from the rest of the Gods that were present to hear of his words. “She has taken my wife, earlier than what is agreed upon. Trespassing from my realm, tricking my guards, and kidnapping my wife.”

“Demeter would never do that. There is an agreement.”

“Yet my wife is gone and every single one of the Olympians are present except for her and my wife.”

“You needed to think more carefully about your next words brother. If Demeter finds out of your accusations about her—”

“She will do no such thing.” Hades scoffed, it boggles his mind to know that Zeus, of all Gods, would not see past the fact that Demeter could do this to him—to her own daughter, for whatever prideful selfishness her mind could think of. “She had once done her own ultimatum, so I shall do my own.”

Conjuring up his powers through his fingertips, the bellowing shadows of the souls manifested throughout the ground to the fear of each and every single member of his family. He wanted them afraid, he wanted every single one of them to know that he will do anything and everything to bring his wife back to him. Whatever it takes.

“From this day forward, the gates of the Underworld will be shut and the only one capable of unlocking those gates shall be Persephone, of her own accord and free will.”

The ground begins to open, the wallowing moans of the dead that have yet to fully find their destination in the Underworld broke free for everyone to see. Souls of the innocent and of the damned flew out, the terror of no other was seen by many and it was the warning sign everyone needed—Persephone was gone and Hades could not function without her.

“The Dead shall remain with the living until then.”

He cursed the world.

Much Better

A supernatural soap opera moment, Cerberus and Kia, featuring Aera (Sorcery Leader) - and the Demon lord's nemesis**, birchbark. As always, any and all questions welcomed, and thank you endlessly for taking the time to read my fics and meet my darlings. 💗💗 **or one of them, anyway.

-- Aera answers the archive chamber door with a fair bit more force and a significantly more frazzled expression than Kia had been expecting, and she double checks the time because of it. Okay, she’s definitely early, but not super early. Still, these hierarchy meetings often didn’t run to schedule, so…

“Hey, sorry, I can wait if…”

“Oh, gods, you’re welcome to him.” Aera turns to yell over her shoulder, “DeVille! Your much better half is here!” before returning her attention to Kia. She smirks wryly at the sound of a violent sneeze and a muted blessing or two from further inside. “He’s been a total delight.”

She addresses this as much to Cerberus as to Kia, the Demon king joining them at the threshold, more than a little dishevelled, crumpled tissues in hand and any semblance of patience clearly a thing of the past.

“Don’t expect me to appease your ridiculous lack of foresight with unwarranted courtesies,” Cerberus counters, his tone one of vivid, seething finality despite the congestion blunting his consonants. “If you’d given any thought to this…how th…hH… HHAHTSSCHuu!” He pushes chaotic ebony back from his face, sniffles forcefully. “This entire place is an allergen!”

“Entire place.” Aera scoffs. “Right.”

Cerberus blows his nose with the rough impatience of someone who is entirely sick of having to do so, excuses himself all the same, and sniffles again immediately against an itch that refuses to recede. “You have the room temperature set to something just shy of subarctic for reasons I cannot fathom and a level of birchbark usage enough to permeate the damn walls, which frankly should count as an entirety on its own, and as per usual, the place is a dustbowl.” He challenges Aera directly. “What exactly am I missing?”

Kia remains in wide-eyed, silent observance, her attentions fixed, intent mesmeric, on her bonded in beautiful disarray. She glances across at Aera, whose reaction is…very much not the same.

The Sorcery Leader’s reply is clipped, curt. “This is not your department.”

“Of…” His breath snags on urgent need, desperate and overwhelming, and Cerberus against all his wishes is forced to abandon his riposte to consuming physical insistence. He Creates the latest in a series of handkerchiefs he’s completely lost count of now and buries his face in it. “Ah-TSSCH-uu! Ahh-HEHTSCHUU! Goddamn it.” Another determined sniffle and he presses the back of his hand against his nose with significant force, returns to his point forthwith. “Of course it’s not my department! My department gets dusted more than once a… hh-HH…once a centuryyiAAHTSCHHuu!” The relentless tickle escalates demanding, unstoppable, and there’s nothing he can do about it but sneeze again, heavy, powerful. “Hh-AHHTSCHHUU! Gods!” He sniffles repeatedly, infuriated, and rubs irritated, reddened eyes and nose, wills still-hitchy breathing to submit for long enough to conclude with a furious, “And there’s no damn birchbark in it!”

Kia offers him a quiet blessing as he excuses himself and blows his nose again, which he acknowledges with a Mindsent apology laced with frustration.

“I thought you didn’t have a dust allergy. That’s the official line, right? Until you do, that is.” Aera rolls her eyes. “Godssakes, Cerbie.”

Cerberus, with a quiet sound somewhere between a dark chuckle and a snarl, flexes a hand; miniature wildfires dartdancing across his fingers for the briefest of moments the only warning before the chamber door is wreathed in virulent flames, crumbling to smoking ash and embers in seconds.

Aera makes a small startled half-shriek that she quickly redirects to outrage. “Holy crap, Cerberus, what the hell?!”

“Oh, did that inconvenience you at all? If only I’d been able to foresee that somehow and perhaps take steps to prevent it.”

“Seriously?! Okay, fine! Okay! Point taken! Gods! You burnt down my door, you…”

“You know perfectly well you can fix that in minutes. I, on the other hand, am probably going to be sneezing all night.” An indignant sniffle follows, pronounced and determined, though despite his best efforts his breathing remains erratic, unreliable. His brow creases slightly, his attention momentarily diverted as Kia Mindsends him pure sensation sympathy, calmative and gentle, and he meets her gaze in an appreciative, already shaky pause he knows is not going to last.

“I can fix it in minutes eventually! The Create part of it, sure! But I have to measure and prep and redo the whole…”

“Ah-HEHTSHhuu!”

Aera sighs, genuflects ostentatiously before straightening and raising a defiant middle finger. “Bless you, Your fucking Majesty. I’m done,” she snaps, and re-enters the chamber, Creating a makeshift temporary screen where the door used to be as she does so. She dearly wishes she could slam it.

“AHTSSCHUU! *snf!* Gods, honestly!” Cerberus turns his attention to Kia in vexed apology, anger shifting to a frustrated weariness. “Sorry, love. Excuse me.” He blows his nose firmly, rubbing it repeatedly in another futile effort to quiet the demanding itch, takes a deliberately cautious, unsteady breath he doesn’t truly trust.

“Bless you, hon.” Kia moves to him, places a gentle hand on his arm. “Should I even ask how your day’s been?”

“Argued with Aera, sneezed a lot. I’m fairly sure that covers it.” With a sharp, strong sniffle, he pushes newly disarrayed midnight from his face, manages a sardonic half-smile for his bonded. “You, darkling?”

Kia laughs softly, empathically. “Aw, sweetheart. Come here.” She embraces him warmly, wrapping one arm around his waist and reaching up with the other to weave her hand through his hair. On tiptoe, she touches a series of soft kisses to his neck in precursor to honeysultry whispersoft suggestion of never mind all that forget everything focus on me babe just me come here honey come here forget everything else now just me babe it’s alright and a Mindsent sensorial aetherwave of calm, of sanctuary, skin-on-skin heat and she moves closer again, cups his face in her hands, kisses him with lascivious invitation unmissable, relax sweetheart it’s over come to me and all is imagery and infusion suggestion distraction seduction take me home babe in flame and velvet heat and hot tub bedroom hearthside blazing slip between warm satin sheets in early night slowdance splendour sweetheart breathe now babe just me just us and she is perfect, she is haven and boudoir and everything, everything, everyth…

Well, almost everything.

Cerberus, wanting nothing more than to immerse in such pleasures and reciprocate without distraction, is nevertheless unable to do so; with a fleeting frown and helpless inhalation his focus dissolves in sudden desperate need and he stifles two rapid-fire sneezes against his shoulder. “hpt-XCH! hh…HXTchu!” Not enough, it’s never enough, and there’s not a thing he can do save submit. He conveys apology as best he can through watering eyes, brings Kia’s head with one firm arm tight against his chest in protection, and turns to sneeze into crooked elbow, powerful and possessing. “Huh-AAHTSSCHHuu!”

Kia’s pulse spikes and she gasps a constricted, involuntary Mm! and inhales deeply before purring a blessing still more breathless than she’d intended, as her beloved excuses himself with a quiet, exasperated groan, sniffles in unreliable recovery.

Cerberus shakes his head just very slightly, wondering pointedly – and not for the first time – if there’s any way that he can just eliminate silver birch from the face of the Underworld and be done with this nonsense once and for all, and looks at his bonded in consternation. “Love, I meant it when I said I’ll probably be sneezing the rest of the...”

Kia curls her hand around the back of his neck, through his hair, silences his words with impassioned kiss, and Mindsends a resolute, heatcertain :It doesn’t matter.:

“It’s just… *SNF!* ...chances are fairly high that I’ll sneeze on you.” A hitch of breath he forcibly suppresses, knows it can’t last.

:Promises, promises.:

“I…I don’t…”

“It. Doesn’t. Matter,” she repeats, entwining herself around him once again. “Trust me.” Her touch heatseeking, direct, undeniable. “I am going to make everything—” An insistent, inviting certainty infused luxurious and redolent as she switches to Mindsend, the crimson charisma carnal.

:—so much better.:

My first S Rank in motherfracking Bloody Palace!!! With my beloved Vergil of course. 💙 First time was with a Super Vergil cause I had no clue what I was doing and I panicked easily with the Fury's and King Cerberus.

Let's see if I can finally finish BP with the deadweight. 😅

[obeymeluv]

So, that kidnapping thing you did with the pact radars and stuff (those head cannons about pact mates are REALLY GOOD btw), how about Diavolo this time if you want to do so?

Let’s answer this, shall we? I was supposed to take my exam today but the online proctoring service we’re supposed to use will not let me book or take the exam. So now I have to wait to speak with my instructor or a supervisor of that company because the regular tech support can’t figure out why common fixes aren’t working 😡 

Anyways, have some Diavolo

Diavolo:

Someone DARES to disrespect THE KING?

Technically, he’s a prince but he’ll be THE KING OF THAT ASS-WHOOPIN’!

He has access to the compass feeling, the brain push, the sensations--the whole lot. But, being from the royal lineage, he has TWO unique tools at his disposal (no, not the magic butler).

Diavolo can summon Little D’s, manipulating shadows by extension. This power is limited to how many shadows are available and whether he’ll have to fight light or disruptions to maintain or strengthen them

The second and most powerful tool he has is connecting with animals. Those human superstitions about possessing crows and animals and such? Very real.

Diavolo is especially fond of Hell Hounds and actually gifted Cerberus to Lucifer (and helped Lucifer train him)

Because of his confidence in the Little D’s, in shadows, and his few but loyal Hell Hounds, Diavolo won’t use the compass or push. He’d rather not tax your body

Being a royal, he uses more energy when connecting to his pact mate. It’s always very clear and from much longer distances than most demons can manage. This makes it very taxing on the pact mate by default.

So death steps soft but firm, shadows sniffing and stretching far ahead of him as if to unroll the red carpet

He gave the Hell Hounds your scent and they dutifully trot alongside the shadows, occasionally baying out pack calls (if they split up) or just announcing impending doom for whoever awaits with his beloved

It isn’t the Hell Hounds or the twisting shadows with suggestions of Little D giggles or piercing eyes that turns your captors’ blood cold, but the jingle of his royal jewelry.

Diavolo aims to be fair and balanced. A just ruler. As he stares down your captors, he really wonders if there should be exceptions. Centuries of carefully crafted compassion, the desire to see unity between the three realms, is almost overpowered by baser demon instincts demanding for the blood, for the head, of those who should steal from him

The urge to crush their throat in his hand is almost enough to make it itch

Diavolo scowls, his eyes burning into them. Does he flare his wings to look big and impressive, or keep them drawn close to use the gilded tips to slice their throat? Decisions, decisions...

He fears he is not impartial enough to make a decision. Diavolo barely stops himself from asking you to decide their fate. That would make these little gremlins scramble over to you and paw at you as they try to persuade you. As they beg for their mercy. He doesn’t like that.

They don’t get to touch you again. Not after they’ve manhandled you and led him on a hunt.

Instead, he breaks you free of restraints with his bare hands, with terrifying power you would’ve never imagined he’d have or use, and rubs your wrists. The Hell Hounds have your captors squished against the far wall and he could care less of their existence

Seeing that your captors graciously provided a dingy, flattened mattress and something that should pass as a blanket gives him an iota of compassion.

Diavolo swaddles you in the blanket, apologizing that he didn’t bring anything nicer or that it’s not a comforting smell, and lowers himself to the mattress. He sets you in his lap and sits as dignified as ever, like he is on his throne.

“Close your eyes, beloved.” he rocks you a little, turning you into his chest as he pulls the blanket around your head. He commands the Hell Hounds to drag your captors before him.

He makes a deal with them. “Plead your case, and if you convince me, I will let you live.”

Diavolo covers your ears as your captors begin to accuse each other and incoherently tell a story. He clacks his nails along his jewelry in an age-old sign that the Hell Hounds recognize as attack.

It’s not outright maiming, no. Just insistent nibbling, maybe a little bit of dragging. It really depends on if they fight over the same one or not. He continues to remind them that they should be pleading their case and convincing him, not screaming about their legs and tendons

After what seems like ages, he calls the dogs off. They’ve had their fill. At least one of your captors has died from blood loss (probably). There’s one pathetic one still twitching and whimpering. Somehow they’re able to look up at him as he breezes past with your quivering form bundled up in his arms

“Y-You said you’d let us live...” he was gasping and straining. Shaking.

“If you convinced me,” Diavolo nodded in agreement. His eyes seemed even brighter than normal. Crueler. “And I cannot lie.” he turns away, making the clacking noise again.

I hope you liked it :)

[carrion-aac]

can you compare techno, phil, and tubbo to three different greek hero’s/myths pls? like, a little explanation obviously you don’t have to, i just got inspiration for something to write

okokok so =) con my beloved

Philza - hades. fuck what the syndicate says, phil is extremely similar to hades. y'know, the whole angel of death thing? yeah hades is the king of the underworld and the dead. if you wanna bring mumza into it, she'd be a great persephone, but that's besides the point.

not to mention, hades is the god of wealth. philza is one of the richest people on the server in both knowledge and material wealth like gold or diamonds. also! cerberus, the three headed dog, is one of hades most common attributes. who has a bunch of dogs in the hound army? philza minecraft. another thing? one of hades sacred animals include the screech owl. screech owl wings are commonly dark brown or black with white as an accent. just like philza's wings (yes he canonized them!)

the etymology or origin of hade's name is actually unknown. which is quite sad BUT, his name is usually seen as meaning "the unseen one" just like how philza wasn't seen until just before wilbur pressed the button. even then he was unseen as he had seemingly appeared out of no where in wilbur's cove.

now the myth part. i'm thinking specifically the plague in aonia. essentially, the story goes that there was a plague struck aonia and the towns people consulted the oracle of delphi to which they were then told they needed to sacrifice two girls to hades and persephone. those two girls were named metioche and menippe. they offered themselves for the sacrifice and afterwards, hades and persephone took pity on them and turned them into comets.

personally, i'm thinking of the plague as l'manberg/manburg. specifically wilbur's l'manberg/schlatt's manburg. and i'm thinking about the two attempts philza made to bring back wilbur. or even if you really want, wilbur being killed on november 16th vs the ressurection attempts. and in the end, phil (hopefully) letting wilbur rest after taking pity on him.

i'll mention you with the rest later if i remember. i wanna work on hw so i can stream later
