i am once again post dumb memes of the silly lil demons

part one | part two | part three | part four

[ewesless]

My humble answer is...

I LOVE IT.

(Romance-y stuff first then the section below that is…other activities)

Content Warning for any other readers: Canon x Canon, Crossdressing, BDSM Dynamics, tons and tons of personal interpretations and almost a fic outline

MY FRIEND, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??

At first glance someone might think, "They're too unalike, they have no common interests. Barbatos is too cool for him and Levi hates him because he's successful, confident and widely respected." And one would be wrong!! The main things they have in common are Gaming, Sewing, Creating Artwork and Cooking (in that order only because Levi's still a hobbyist and Barbatos's love of baking and cooking is on par with Levi's fanatical love of Ruri-chan.)

Barbatos may not be into watching anime or reading manga, but he buys merch for Diavolo and is supportive of a substantial number of things Diavolo does (which extends to Levi hehehe) but he is a major gamer. In two different events (Cyber and Smash Devils) and in a variety of OM daily chats he games with Levi as well as plays his recommended games (and Levia-chan gets his little scaly ass handed to him when they play!)

One of my favorite scenarios for them developing into a couple is that Levi finds out what an awesome sewist he is (HDD 2021 card "An Amazing Outfit for You" and Belphie's Plushie card are two examples) and is awestruck. "PLEASE teach me your techniques! What is your secret?!?" But Barbatos doesn't just teach him, he makes him things too! Costumes, does his Makeup, Props, plushies and food replication!

I headcanon that Barbatos takes Diavolo and Leviathan to conventions too, they could absolutely group cosplay. Barbatos is a gamer so we know they already chat and hang out online, and Barbatos has been to his room multiple times now so it's not implausible that they'd like to hang out 1 on 1 too. (In Otaku Podcast Mini Barbatos scares the shit out of him by how familiar he mades himself with Levi's room and the secret box he has) If LEVI lets someone not just touch his things and explore them (oop lol that sounds….) but lets him rearrange his things and even advise him on what to do about them you know that is some deep, deep, trust and approval. He admires him a lot too, he experiences jealousy and idolizes him too so we know that Levi already has strong feelings about him!!

I think that whenever Barbatos would show him approval or acknowledgement it would direct hit something deep inside him that is painfully wounded and mend a little crack in his heart. I think Levi needs to impress others, but won't admit it. He's too caught up in the "normies can kick rocks! Get rekt! I don't care what those people think!" but he obviously felt the pressure of Barbatos's expectations to a degree near that of Lucifer's because he was almost in tears from the stress of working with them (he chose them!) during Luke's Birthday in 2022. So I think making him proud of him or surpassing his expectations (Shrodinger's High/Low expectations lol) would be important to him. I don't really read Levi's (or anyone else's) romantic options and don't go out of my way to read his cards, so this is mostly based off of my interpretations from events and storylines. I don't feel confident in my characterization either. Somebody is going to hate on me for that some day. I can feel it.

Oh, but back to the topic. So they start hanging out in order to do sewing and that leads to talking about all kinds of things and warming up more. Levi is like, "Wait what?? You mean…he's not as intimidating and far above us as I thought???" Barbatos cooks for him whenever he gets hungry or has already prepared bentos and other anime themed foods and teaches him how to recreate/copycat for him too. So as they bond Levi accepts that he really is a friend of his and not just his big brother's coworker/the Royal Butler/Popular Guy and humoring him. He subtly starts to tell him about his interest in crossplaying too (Legendary Dame, HELLO~) and while that's not really something Levi HIDES (he did) that Barbatos responds positively and supportively (Diavolo too, he cosplayed RURI and Barbatos cosplayed Azuki-tan in support and to show their appreciation for Levi and his interests in the S2 Anime!)

So Levi dresses up and is all blushy and nervous and feeling excited and happy because he's just so COOL about this!? AND GIVES MAKEUP ADVICE THAT EVEN ASMO HADN'T KNOW??? (Dame card) And the first thing Barbatos does is tells him he looks cute and wears it well, he compliments his dress and makeup! (Or beautiful, depends on whether he's in a magical girl outfit or if he's cosplaying someone elegant like the Kuudere Elf Queen Seraphina)

So after this, one thing leads to another and Barbatos crossplays with him (He self vowed that Legendary Dame was never again, but I am going to just say that that doesn't mean he's banned from other elegant femme attire) Levi doki-dokis like crazy! So now he's down bad for Lady!Barbatos, "B-but that's just because of the character he's portraying, right?? I don't have a crush on my big brother's co-worker/the Royal Butler/The Popular Guy????"

Barbatos got so excited about sewing for MC and dressing MC up that not once, but twice he gets carried away and starts taking measurements or holding clothes up to their figure (promptly apologizes and then we can't even acknowledge it) So maybe that happens with Levi too and now that Levi has doki-dokis when Barbatos gets that close to him HORMONAL EXPLOSION~. "Ooooookay, that definitely isn't just because of the character he was cosplaying" lols anxiously

Where this goes is going to be non-specific because I love endless possibilities, but definitely gets intimate. Possibly the first time they get frisky is while in cosplay (Levi is like a teenage boy in a 30 year old body, I swear. And then you have Barbatos who pops off with those romantic and suggestive dialogues to tease like WHAAAAAAAT??? So, he would totally egg (lol unintended) him on and turn him into a flustered sweaty mess without even taking his own clothes off.) 70% probability of while couple cosplaying a yuri or yaoi ship, but they go all the way as themselves and after a barrier is overcome (Levi's self-esteem and his doubts about whether the person he's into is ACTUALLY? FOR REAL??? SERIOUS??? You're not just messing with me and going to humiliate me and then gloat about it because I'm a socially awkward otaku loser and you're a hot demon butler whose effortlessly perfect?) So it would be a combination of shame/comfort and hurt/comfort…maybe?

Their first anniversary gift from Barbatos would be a fully custom designed outfit for them to wear, there would be a necklace or other jewelry included in a hidden treasure way and it would have an engraved message on the back/inside along with a handwritten letter. Levi's would be a physical photo album with their cosplay adventures and outings/pilgrimages/foodie tours and one-day vacation photos with sweet notes and memories written on the backs of them. (I'm not very good at this type of romance tbh, but memories and keepsakes are important to them both)

On a side note they have SO MUCH KINK CHEMISTRY. Levi wants to be bullied, humiliated, called names and degraded? Barbatos is absolutely brutal with all of this, and probably has Dacryphilia to some extent (cough MAMMON) He would not be against-- on second thought this part got too explicit. [SNIP]

He would be creative at this in subtle ways, even during normal group conversations, that would leave Levi speechless and doki-doki'ing. On the flipside, Barbatos praises and shows his gratitude in significant ways so this would extend to intimate activities and he is a very attentive lover/dom who anticipates the needs of others so he would give Levi aftercare and approval tailored to each scene, "feed and water" him (Barbatos…why did you word it like that before?) and then tuck him into bed with a goodnight kiss. (Barbatos doesn't stay overnight of course. He has a Diavolo at home to think of after all and Diavolo is prone to mischief and misbehavior when he is away.) He would also discipline him and use a reward system that also subtly helps strengthen Levi's resilience and build his self-esteem.

Since I headcanon they both lay eggs (Barbatos is a salamander dragon Demon and Levi is a snake dragon) if Levi previously didn't go through that as an Angel (due to contrivances on my part) he would definitely be hiding that or in denial and Barbatos is observant as hell. That can lead to anywhere can't it ^^;

Well, now I'm embarrassed and idk how to sign off ;w; Oh wait, yes I do, Ballz! (inside joke)

[domreader-headcannon-scenarios]

May I ask what ships are you planning on writing for? I like many, but I fell in love with diabarbs. I also have a huge polyamory headcanon between the characters. :D

Diabarb, Beelbarb, Solobarb, Simeon/Barbatos, dialuci, dialucibarb, lucibarb, sololuci, asmosolo, Simeon/Diavolo, Simeon/Solomon, Satan/Solomon, Levibarb, (basically I ship barb with everyone)

Those are ones I personally like but I will be doing request of different ones too, you can request polyamorous ones too!

I naturally think some characters are complete subs so if you want a specific character to dom, please specify! There are characters (like Barbatos) that I think are complete subs and whoever they are paired with they’ll sub to

You can request au’s! Or monster characters, etc, kinks, same rules as regular request pretty much!

I may back away from ships I’m not ok/interested in, but I’ll make a post saying that dw

So here’s the rules!

Rules

No Luke involved, he’s a child

Poly is allowed, but if there are two of the brothers involved, they aren’t dating they are just dating the other person

No incest between the brothers

[catboygirling]

please i need to know what you think of levibarb. i know i'm like the like the only person in existence who ships it (plus in like, a queerplatonic way), but i desperately need to know

no offense but I have zero interest in Barbatos. that man is plain oatmeal to me. why would I want him associated with one of my lame boyfriends (aromantic)

[cinnamon-bunni]

levi/barbatos is currently rotating in my head rn and is tumbling like clothes in a dryer so you know what? headcanon list time lets go I thank you the total of like 5 people who will end up reading this they mean the world to me okay?

LEVIBARB HEADCANONS

Leviathan falling for Barb first, and man does he fall hard

He starts crushing on the butler when he fixes his cosplay; Levi had ordered it and it showed up damaged and ripped. Barbatos got around to fixing it before Levi could, and he hadn't even asked him to do so

It's just the idea of that Barb is so cool. Like cooler than anyone that Levi knows

He can bake, sew, he knows curses and spells, has wisdom on just about anything and everything--he's the cool type in dating sims. A kuudere, if you will, but even cooler

I don't think Levi has ever had a real crush on someone before. like don't get me wrong he has so many characters from his games and anime that he would do just about anything for, but I don't think he's really harbored those feelings for someone that is not in a computer screen

i like to think levi would then be so obvious about his crush on the butler, while the thinks he's being cool about it. everyone in a five mile radius knows about it lol

and ofc barbatos knows about it. like how could he not? levi isn't exactly secretive about it. the demon started to come over a lot more and try to find excuses to hang out with the butler

Barb humored him tho, because he did find him kinda cute. but more like in a way one would feel towards a sopping wet cat they found on the side of the street. he found it funny that levi was at times even willing to help him with things like baking or tending to the gardens, even when he wasn't good at either of those things

At some point it changed, though. Barbatos isn't sure when, but there is a point where it changes from him humoring Levi for the fun of it and into enjoying the other's company

Such an odd pair, tbh. They both know it but they are good for each other me thinks

Like??? As I've discussed Barb starts to genuinely enjoy Lev's company. He starts to laugh and smile more, acting less stoic even when Levi wasn't around

And Levi acting like a high school girl in love??? That's the good shit lol 💞💞 he is so much happier with life and the outside world and even came to terms with Barb being a normie! Because he is willing to learn <33

because!!! because Barb is open to learning about Levi's interests. Levi helps him interact kitchen (even though he isn't the best at baking) and he tends to the garden with him (even though he isn't all that knowledgeable on plants), and seeing as levi indulges in his hobbies, why not enjoy is free time in what levi likes?

Besides, levi just looks so happy when barb offers to play a game or watch an anime with him. and yeah barb fucking sucks ass at the games and has to politely ask levi to stop pausing on each frame of the episode in order to get through it all, but its the quality time together that counts

do you think about how lucifer and the others would feel? because i think about that all the time

like again levi isn't able to keep his crush secret at all so i imagine all his brothers (sans lucifer) try and help him out. like they drop heavy hints towards barb about how levi is interested in him while levi fights off the urge to call lotan out of sheer embarrassment in order to get them to stop

mammon so takes credit for those two getting together; levi was late for his first date because asmo wouldnt let him leave until he approved of his outfit; lucifer is holed away in his office, demonous in hand, trying not to think about his brother going out with diavolo's butler

like. i am sure diavolo would support it and would be extremely happy for barbatos that he found someone that makes him happy. but lucifer? he is speaking through gritted teeth of how happy he is for levi. he is definitely fine about this decision because his brother is a grown demon and can make his own decisions but he will be processing his feelings with a bottle or two (or three) of demonous later that night

and just....Levi being so awkward on the first few dates?? i mean im sure he will always be awkward when he's around Barb but like?? poor thing is a mess lmao

idk man something something barb brings such a huge comforting feeling to levi and levi gives barb a breath of fresh air into his life and something something they give strength to each other to leave comfort zones and live for something that makes them happy

[cinnamon-bunni]

Hii!!!!! 🛼 and/or 🍄 for the ask game!! have fun ^__^

YAAAY YIPPEE THANK YOU!!! ^^ <3

🛼 ⇢ describe your latest wip with five emojis for my latest wip, specifically the first chapter of it, is: 🐢💜🌀💉🫠 ....yeah, idk what to say abt this, other than apologize that I'm writing a tmnt thing. don't even know how that happened tbh (if you gain garner anything from that then i applaud you bc i had no idea how to describe it with emojis lol ^^;)

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings a hc abt my favorite pairing....aka levibarb bc they are EVERYTHING to me!!!!!: levi totally introduces barbatos to life/farming simulator-esque games (stardew valley and the sorts), bonus points if it's multi-player for him to join in. barbatos is not a gamer, ofc, but is willing to try for levi, which levi is happy enough about. while i do think barb would just prefer reading what levi reccs him or watch whatever anime levi is into, sometimes he'll pick up a controller and tend to his farm/garden/little quaint life he has going on in those sim games <3

[cinnamon-bunni]

levibarb because I know you like them lmao

IHFIDIFGIASJH LISTEN. LISTEN OKAY- love these two so much, can't tell if its just because i love them separately or i think they would pair well together or both but. i think this is a very very good pairing. in both a romantic and a platonic sense, i think these two would be good together (even then in a romantic sense i ship them in a Aro Way ya know?) I feel like Levi would benefit having someone like Barb in his life. i am thinking about cute moments between the two and levi freaking out and barb being his cool self and chuckling and thinking how adorable levi is when hes all freaked out and bashful. i feel like barb could help levi calm down a bit somewhat; that he doesnt have to worry about what everyone thinks of him all the time. i felt like you did bring up a good point that one time that barb is bland as fuck lmao. i feel like i would be more invested into this if i knew more about him tbh. because i wanna say barb would also learn things out of it too, learn things from levi, but...we know nothing about him lol. i cant think of a single flaw about him that was given in the game. im sure i can make headcanons but...i want at least some sort of canon thing to go off of i guess this is just my way of complaining and wanting more canon barb things lmao even tho i dont play the game anymore anyways these two are sooooo good and now im going to be thinkign about them constantly. maybe one day i'll get around to writing that fic i had planned for them. maybe one day...

but yeah everyone is sleeping on these two. need more interactions between these guys and need people to consider this ship because imo its just so so good-

[cinnamon-bunni]

i swear if no one else is going to make levibarb content then i guess i'll have to do it

[cinnamon-bunni]

did you change your theme to be levibarb... obsessed

i,,,,,might have. perchance.

[cinnamon-bunni]

even more text images but i also have levibarb propaganda in there

(part 1 | part 2 | part 3)

(to no surprise, majority of these transparents were made by @/silentstreetserenity!)

[cinnamon-bunni]

1, 2, and 29!

How many words have you written this year? A total of 100,324! Including my WIPs and things I haven't posted of this year, of course. For full fics that I posted onto ao3, its 88,210 words.

How many works did you publish this year? I posted 20 fics this year! Hopefully I'll be be able to squeeze in one more before the new year, but I doubt it.

Favorite line/passage you wrote this year? JIDEHGEH WHY WOULD YOU ASK ME THAT?? IDK MAN I've written so many things--I have a favorite fic, but idk about a fic line or passage...

Okay, here's something from Messy Makeup:

“So, it’s only a problem and makes someone weird when it’s you who’s aromantic or asexual, then?” Leviathan shifted uncomfortably. Barbatos already knew the answer though–the third-born was always like this. Always so hesitant to accept himself but was always willing to accept others. Always so ready to deprave himself but speak kindly of others. He always blamed his sin for that, but Barbatos knew better. The demon just hated himself, simple as that.

You know me, being the resident Levibarb shipper, that a fic of mine that included them both was probably gonna have a favorite passage of mine. Well, idk if its necessarily my favorite, but i felt like i needed something from this fic to be included. I just dont really have favorite lines or passages :/

Another, because actually this might be closer to a "favorite" one (from A Quiet Moment):

He could practically hear Lucifer roll his eyes. “And what do you suppose I do about it?”  “Can’t I-” Diavolo, he hated how his voice sounded. “Can’t I just stay here for a bit? While you do work?” His brother sighed. “I suppose,” he answered, “as long as you’re not bothering me.” Leviathan ended up sitting on the floor, against the front side of the desk. He held onto the blanket tight to keep it as close as he could. He could’ve taken any of the seats in the office, but he wanted to sit as close to Lucifer as possible.

i just really like levi (if that wasnt obvious), and i feel like this is the best lucifer i've written so far. he's willing to comfort but also like he needs to get work done so just as long as levi is quiet he Does Not Care, ya know? anyway i suppose these two are my favorites, again idk if i really do have favorite passages, but here they are <3

[cinnamon-bunni]

💖🎵👄🦉

thank you for the ask!! <3

💖 Which of your fics is your pride and joy? oh, this is a bit of hard question...if youre talking abt fics that are posted, it'd either be Without a Simple Goodbye, mainly because i think i wrote Peter's panic very well (as well as his and Ted's banter), and i think the rest of the chapters have such huge potential (if only i'd finish it....i doubt i will tbh ^^;;), or Heart Melts (You Meant So Well), because as the last one i feel like it has a lot of potential, and its something ive had fun writing, even tho i feel like it could be a bit better (which arguably will be once i, yknow, plan out and finish the rest of the fic lol;;) if we are including fics i havent posted yet, then the easy winner would be my undead simeon au!! it is my magnum opus, and im not even done with it yet <3 the banter is so fun in that fic, and i havent even gotten to the soul-crushing angst of it all yet...im so excited to try and finish it, i should get back to to doing that lol (ive been working on it for, what, almost two years? which sounds right for how many words ive written for and compared to my other long fics....sigh i should REALLY finish that now)

👄 Your OTP are having their first kiss. What song do you imagine is playing? when you say OTP, my mind always goes to levi/barbatos, and tbh i have no idea....while i do have a levibarb playlist, i feel like oddly enough none of them fit? maybe *Luna's The Pulse of the Meteor? or either Anachronism....idk i feel like their songs would fit the best for some reason? even when the lyrics themselves dont, i think the instrumentals does it justice. this question is a hard one though, lolol;;;

🦉Is there another author that helped inspire you to write? idk about specific authors.....well of course there's my good mutual @/catboygirling who often gives me energy to write (specifically for undead simeon.....), but i dont think there's actual specific authors who inspire me; usually, it's singular fics that inspire me. whether it be how a certain characterizes a character, or their writing style (which usually inspires me tbh), or even the plot they have, it's usually the fic i read by them that inspires me and gives me new ideas or the energy to keep writing my current projects

🎵Do you make playlists for your fics? usually not! majority of my fics are oneshots andare something i stop thinking about once i finish it, but for my multi-chap works, i may make a playlist, depending on a) how long it is, and b) how haunted i am by it lol ^^;; like, i have a playlists for both Heart Melts as well as my undead simeon au, both of which are huge writing projects for me (bigger than any of my other things anyway), so they get a playlist that basically goes through each act of the story, the feelings of each character, and the vibes i wanna capture! so not always, but for the ones that i do, believe me when i say that that fic haunts me 24/7 lol

[cinnamon-bunni]

4, 6 and 21 for the fanfic asks game

4. What piece of media inspired you the most? Inspired is a hard one....obviously ive been writing a lot of Obey Me, so I kinda wanna go with that--the brotherly moments they sometimes sprinkle in make me go insane and fall in love with these characters all over again lmao BUT then again i recently played Slay the Princess and that has haunted my psyche since the first day I learned about the lol;; it has mainly been a source of inspiration for more original writings, but then again, the same could be said for Obey Me, as it also has been the inspiration for other projects. So i would say Obey Me has been the most inspiring, but StP is a real close second

6. What ship(s) captured your heart? LEVIBARB!!!!!!! LEVIBARB MY BELOVED!!!! leviathan/barbatos was a ship i thought about this year i think? and it just slowly took over me. now it is almost all i think about for obey me <333 these two are everything to me. they have so much untapped potential and if that means i have to do all of the writing and fill the ao3 ship tag myself, then so be it lmao

21. Share your favorite piece of dialogue I don't think I really have a favorite piece of dialogue; I tend to really like writing comedy, and so my favorite one would be from a comedic piece, but I've been very focused on non-comedic fics for the first time lol--meaning that my writing has been very wonky and I'm usually unhappy with it. so this is the best i've got:

Simeon laughed at the third-born’s nervousness. “No, I’m fine,” he answered. “Honestly, I prefer the dark. My eyes have been struggling a bit with light, so keeping the room dark is actually better.” “Oh.” Levi glanced up at him. “I get that–I’m actually like that too. Bright lights hurt my eyes, even the lights at R.A.D. Don’t even get me started on the sun in the Human Realm.” “That’s because,” Lucifer interjected with a sigh, “you never leave your room. You practically live in a cave.” “Hey! I’ll have you know that Henry’s tank has lights in it! The ceiling aquarium does, too. And-” “Next you’re going to say that your gaming setup gives enough light because of the rainbow L.E.D. lights.”

not the best, but also a lot of my pieces hasn't really had too much dialogue anyway, so oh well;;
