Thinking about how Diavolo’s feelings transcend time and how in the Nightbringer UR+ card Demon Lord’s Castle Tour this conversation happens.

When asked, “Do you wish to see your father?”

Diavolo responds:

“I suppose I do . . .” isn’t the typical reaction to how a child would feel about wanting to see their parent. Especially when said parent has essentially been in a coma for a year.

Along with how Diavolo describe his father.

It makes more sense why when you learn in Lesson 56 how Diavolo was treated by him growing up.

Diavolo can tell when others are lying but is unable to understand his father’s intentions.

Diavolo mentions that he lived a very sheltered life growing up. That from a young age his father never allowed him a chance to talk to anyone outside the castle.

His childhood friend was Mephistopheles. A demon literally RAISED to be his friend. Putting a barrier between the two because Mephistopheles would put Diavolo on a pedestal.

The isolating childhood he experienced riddled with his strict father constantly scolding him.

Despite everything MC is so important to him he wants to see his father again so we can meet.

it’s thinking about jancy true hours in the house tonight

[qingxin-dream]

so… i did a thing! 🤭

i wrote my first character on c.ai for wanderer! you can chat with him HERE as you travel to fontaine! <3

he is entirely based upon his canon personality and some of my fics! my wanderer ai is currently unlisted bc i’ll probably tweak his code as needed. i’d love your feedback on him!! it’s hard to strike the right balance with his character.

the ai will be available only for a few days before it’s private again. once he’s ready, i will post him publicly! :)

Hey, I know we haven't talked in a while, but things have changed lately and I'm scared She forces me to call her Mommy, she decides everything I wear, and I’m even not allow to touch my... >~<

Mommy tells me how to walk, how to talk, how to think And the worst part is that I don't think I want anything to change ;w;

hiiii what’s your favorite recipe(s) you’ve made?? i’m always looking for stuff

boy do i have some!

first is my absolute favorite dessert pumpkin cream pie! this recipe makes two but can be halved or one can be frozen as long as you don’t put the whipped cream on the top! also i put more powdered sugar and whip cream than the recipe says

these are so so good does not make a 100 tho i think i usually get 35-40?

these is a pretty good brownie recipe if you like them gooey! honestly i would probably put the whole egg and sometimes an instant coffee pack!

baklava!!! soooo good and pretty easy to make! it makes a lot but it can be cut in half! i use pecans but whatever works for you! (i think traditionally it’s pistachios but don’t quote me on that) 

honestly one of my favorites growing up can be halved and the pecans are not necessary 

full disclaimer never actually made these but they’re fantastic! 

i don’t have a card for this one because i usually do it from memory (aka Measure with my heart) but here’s my take on a texans take of a german recipe

pecan hedgehogs

half a box of almond paste (about 4oz.)

half a cup of sugar

half a cup of almond flour 

an egg yolk

an amount of extract (almond or vanilla)

after that’s all combined shape them into kind of horizontal teardrop shapes brush with the egg white then press almond slivers for the quills

or the boring but faster way roll into balls brush on the egg white and lightly press on almond slivers 

they only puff up a little bit so they don’t need much room bake them at 325° on parchment paper until lightly golden brown (i think 15ish minutes) let cool on the paper or they won’t come up makes like 30 or 40 i think? could be 18 honestly i haven’t make them in a while

green drink™ my favorite holiday beverage growing up! you would think between me, my siblings and my cousins (all 9 of us) we would’ve came up with a better name but alas kids are stupid at least we were

just mix ginger ale and sherbet and let it melt a bit any flavor works but limes what we used

homemade frosties

blend half chocolate milk and half regular with a scoop of sweetened condensed milk add a scoop of kool whip blend again and freeze for 2-3 hours of til half frozen!

it’s occurred to me you may have wanted you may have wanted something other than desserts 

homemade ravioli is so much better than store bought and honestly really easy to make (i have a pasta machine but you can make them without!)

first mix together 2/3 a cup of flour and an egg with olive oil into it forms a ball then lightly knead in the bowl a couple times. wrap up and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes

filling:

1/4 ish cup of ricotta cheese 

an amount of finely chopped garlic (measure with your heart)

1/4 ish cup of mozzarella (i usually use fresh but the shredded kind works too) 

an egg yolk

salt, pepper and italian seasoning 

if using a pasta machine use the smallest setting if doing it by hand until you can see daylight through the dough (and consult google) 

rub the egg white around the filling before folding dough over its self and pressing edges together

freeze on a baking sheet before bagging it!

my favorite sauce to eat with them!

brown a tbsp of butter with a halved clove of garlic, add heavy whipping cream, salt and pepper!

anybody else play a cleric durge and felt like they had to come up with some ridiculous reason as to why their pc would wake up believing they worship a god that’s not bhaal? ophelia’s is “i can tell i used to worship a god and can’t remember who, but i have some sick fucking lightning powers and i love carnage destruction and chaos, so that probably means talos is my god. yeah that checks out”

and it’s just. not even fucking true. she was absolutely Not a cleric before the nautiloid, and she definitely didn’t worship talos. he just happened to fit the description

i like to think talos sees her going through this process and just decides to feed into her delusions and grant her cleric powers because he thinks it’s funny

Genuine question to the zhongchi shippers. Why is it that that’s your ship. Like I just don’t get it? To each their own and if it’s just for funsies carry on. But like I tend to look for the narrative in a ship and I really don’t see it here. If someone could explain it to me that’s be helpful

[thunderstomm]

Poll time!

Curious to see the general opinions regarding this one, and at this current point in the series!

I need to write this so I don’t forget so that I can fic it later (lmk Drabble / fic prompt if anyone wants it) macaque angst, mild gore warning

Macaque failed in his task and the Lady is displeased. The thrall who calls himself a mayor requests his head, but his Lady thinks the shadow may still be of use. Still, he deserves a punishment, no? The Mayor asks to destroy something slightly smaller than a head, but no less amusing to ruin.

Perhaps it is the six eared warriors eyes that ruin his performance, the mayor says, afterall, losing an eye can quite affect one’s vision. He never did heal completely from that fight with his old love, did he?

The lady agrees. Why would a warrior named for his hearing need his sight anyways?

Go, she says, do as you wish. The mayor is eager to comply.

He rushes forward, claws of bone and ice ripping from his knuckles with a violent crack and the wet sound of flesh. He smiles.

Macaque does not struggle, chained and bruised and bloodied, has no leeway in his binds. He cannot struggle, and even if he could move he does not know if he would. His every muscle aches and his bones are weak and he is so, so tired. He cannot hope to count the wounds.

The claws rake across his eye and he screams. That is all he can do as blood runs warm and sticky down his face and fire rushes through his veins. He knows nothing but pain and it only gets worse.

The mayor removes his claws and considers taking the eye with them, but decides he likes the look of the bleeding wound too much to ruin it. It is beautiful.

Macaque feels his shadows, roused from their frozen terror at his pain, swarm his mind. They drag him down to rest and he does not fight it.

whats that ? hes been alive for centuries ? nah thats just the coffee and spite keeping him alive , no way hes a cryptic

oh ? the sun hurts him ? uhm thats just a ,, severe sunray reaction ! yeah ! that can happen right ?

( im having so much fun thinking of this au can you tell )

It’s so fun, I need to get tag going for it 😂 But god Frank just being that fuckin oblivious is my new favorite thing ever. Like so suspicious of everyone else that he doesn’t consider that he’s got any strange habits that would suggest anything about himself because I mean, who would know Frank better than Frank? Surely there’s nothing he could’ve possibly missed

[valeovalairs]

crashes into the wall of ur ask box VAL HI HRUUUU do you mayhaps have any author and or book recommendations :3 /silly (ive litereally just looked up julia armfield and ohmygod her prose is amazing ur so right)

HII THABKS FOR ASKING I CAN TALK ABOHT AUTHORS AND BOOKS FOR LONG

SOO julia armfield first of all she wrote our wives under the sea (woman goes on deep sea exploration and comes back wrong and her wife has to tackle this new version of the woman she once knew), salt slow (short stories!! they’re all so so good) and private rites (currently reading this one and it’s about a flooded and drowned world and three estranged sisters navigating their famous fathers death). literally her prose is some of the best ever it’s just. casually horrifying is the best way i can put it. it’s so beautifully done and she tackles these topics so well. also. she really likes water. she’s literally my favorite author ever i aspire to write like her. i was in the book store the day private rites came out and i got the single copy the store had and nearly fell to my knees once i managed to find it after like thirty minutes of frantic searching

some books we’ve got This Is How You Lose the Time War (RAGHH it’s a novella short and sweet it is lyrical and brutal and soft and it reads like a poem it’s about two rival agents who write letters to each other and it’s gay. so. one of my favorite reads ever i’ve read it like three times plus already), I Who Have Never Known Men (translated text also short but the writing still holds super well and it’s so fascinating it’s like kind of dystopian kind of post apocalyptic just look this one up idk how to pitch it) Piranesi (so so so so good go into this blind i’m begging you)

okay and then we have rf kuang. her writing is also fantastic. she’s written babel (MY FAVORITE BOOK magical historical realism speculative fiction, language a criticism on imperialism dark academia this book has it all), yellowface, and the poppy war trilogy (which i haven’t read yet but im getting too soon and have heard EXCELLENT things about and im very excited to have my heart torn out and stomped on repeatedly) and she’s got a new book coming out later this year called katabasis about two grad students going to the underworld and i am VERY excited about that one

and yeah :) i like reading i have quite a long tbr. once i finish private rites im starting chain gang all stars and then probably inferno after that followed by the poppy war

What versions of Sailor Moon have you watched/read? As far as I'm aware you've watched the 90s anime but what about the manga, live action series, sm crystal and the musicals?

(Not asking this to be some kind of snob or anything, just curious, personally I have only read the manga and in the process of watching the anime)

Howdy! Don’t worry, I didn’t assume any snob intent from your question!

As much as I love sm, I’m far from a “sailor moon expert”.

I have only read/watched: the manga, the 90’s anime, only one and ironically (from what I heard) the worst musical ‘Last Dracul’ cause I’m that smart, the first 2 seasons of Crystal and only half watched season 3 and eternal (I skipped a lot and watched at 2.5 speed, I bet you can tell my thoughts on it lol).

I have no interest in watching Cosmos, sorry, it’s just not for me, along with most of the musicals tbh, but that’s mostly cause I hate musicals (it’s, by far, my least fav movie genre). Tho I will eventually watch Petite Entrangere, due to constant recommendations.

I also WANT to watch the live action series, since I heard amazing things from it and I’m p sure will result in being among the top of my fav sm things. I’m just sort of waiting for my expectations to lower before starting, just cause I see people legit being so passionate about it. I wanna go into it with as low expectations as possible cause I want to be impressed and I want to love it, rather than expecting it. (Also when I will eventually watch it, i will maybe do something fun around it! Maybe a live blog or even a live reaction with friends.)

actually thank u for posting about kent/pimms! i was here years ago when a subset of parse fans started a racist hate campaign against ngozi, which led to a lot of folks sharing how uncomfortable they were that he's even that popular of a character?? i rlly thought the parseposting would die out after that but ig only the olds remember ;o;

How… does one even have the GALL to start a racist campaign against the CREATOR of the character they like- I often find myself wondering HOW and WHY Parse is such a popular character, because he’s very clearly a bad person. But y’know ppl can do whatever they want, they can like characters that are bad people, and he is a pretty interesting character from a writer’s perspective. But the fact that those people started a hate campaign is what makes things no longer okay. It’s funny because I feel like the only omgcp posting that HASN’T died out is the parse posting. It’s kinda crazy.

[esfordays]

Uhhh call me stupid but what is with the whole proship / anti ship thing

I genuinely don’t understand what’s going on here???

If someone can dumb this whole thing down for me (or find me a video essay) I would greatly appreciate it, because I genuinely have no clue what people are arguing about
