Iâve been thinking about it, and I think you can make a solid argument for El Tigre being a kamen rider (belt based transformation, masked form with big eyes, Iâd put him in the same category as Kamen Rider Beast for magical inheritance method).
Danny Fenton, however, is a magical girl, and I will not be budging on this position.
#magical girl is a gender neutral term#thank you for coming to my ted talk#his other commonality with kamen rider beast is large sentient magic cat patron if you take Fauveâs el tigre headcanon as true#which obviously I do#⌠tigre is probably slightly nicer than chimera though

The Council of the Dead Would Like to Inform the Justice League that âMagical Girlâ is a Gender-Neutral Term 16.2.23
DP x DC. Danny, Dani, Dan, Vlad, Clockwork, the Justice League. Redeemed Vlad, redeemed Dan, Ghost King Danny.
Amity gets suddenly transported to the DC universe, but that doesnât mean anybody realizes it suddenly exists. Amity was already extremely liminal and under an information blackout, and both those things stay true making it really hard to think about for anybody that doesnât already know about it.
Just be DC hasnât noticed Amity does not mean Amity hasnât noticed DC, which is why Danny is out exploring this world thatâs absolutely full of heroes.
Unfortunately, DC is even more full of disasters, and heâs forced to transform to protect some people. He books it out of there immediately afterward and disappears.
Everyone assumes heâs a magical girl. A black-haired blue-eyed âcivilianâ had a whole freaking transformation, fixed everything with magic, and flew away. Was he Tim Drake? Related to the Superboys? A random teen? One of Bruce Wayneâs other children? No-ones ever seen a hero with a transformation before.
Danny finds out about this and is more than willing to play along.
He can make his transformation more dramatic, :) he can design some special attacks, :) Clockwork can he use a time medallion as a boost item?* (Clockwork says yes.) :D
With Vlad, Dani, and Dan playing along too they even have a pretty decent magical girl team, complete with Vlad playing the dark horse magical girl rival whose more rude and abrasive but ultimately on the same side for bonus Justice League trolling.
The Justice League is absolutely loosing their minds apparently living through a Magical Girl anime. Especially after threats from the Infinite Realms start getting involved.
*The ultimate boost item is, of course, the Crown of Fire.
Dani, Danny, and Dan introduce themselves as half-siblings. For the pun.
Day (626/100) in my #âdaysofwriting @the-wip-project 16th of Feb
#dc x dp#I canât decide if I like it better if Clockwork and Kronos are the same person#or if Clockwork is Amityâs version of Kronos#so that DC can be introduced to him when he appears out of nowhere to curb-stomp Kronos for daring to go after Danny#Danny Phantom#Dan Phantom#Dani Phantom#Vlad Masters#Clockwork#the Justice League#magical girl is a gender neutral term and I will die on this hill#redeemed Vlad Masters#redeemed Dan Phantom#DP#DC#scribblings from the deep#âdaysofwriting

enchanted (or not) : k. minji
synopsis: nothing could go wrong with making a love potion, right? or whatever it is that danielle said.
# : pairing ! nonidol!kim minji x reader
# : tags ! reader's gender isn't mentioned, witch is a gender neutral term here, they're in school, fluff, crack, humans live with the supernatural whether they know it or not, it's not all that serious though, i stole the recipe from harry potter, bc who really has time to think of love potion ingredients (me but im lazy)
# : wordcount ! 2k
# : warnings ! none
love potions were things that kim minji used to read about in those unserious wattpad love stories. not something that she actually considered doing, for real.
that is, until, her idiot friends hanni and (though less than the former) hyein, brought up the idea after hearing minji blabber on about you for the fifth time in a single day. haerin and danielle, being a couple of yes-men, quickly agreed. they agreed to almost anything nowadays. maybe it was because hanni and minji were graduating this year.
"what even gave you the idea to make a love potion in the first place?" minji sighed out, rubbing her temple. they were currently in the chemistry lab, sitting around a comically large cauldron that hyein had gotten out of nowhere. seriously, that girl had too many connections. where on earth did she get a cauldron!? and it was huge, too. how did they manage to lug it into the lab?
haerin's mouth twitched. "they were snooping through my books and found a recipe book."
"why do you have a magic recipe book just lying around?"
she only shrugged. hanni nudged minji's shoulder and made an annoying shushing gesture. "shh, don't worry about it. don't you want y/n to," she held up finger hearts, "fall in love with you?"
"stop that," minji slapped hanni's hands away. she got a flimsy flick on the forehead from the shorter girl in a pathetic attempt to retaliate.
the flipping of pages interrupted the pair's little squabble. it redirected their attention to the front (or at least, their front; haerin and danielle's left and right, respectively) where hyein pulled out the recipe book in question.
"aha!" she exclaimed, blowing off the dust that was resting on the pages. it resulted in a coughing fit from all of them. just how old was the book? and it brought them back to minji's question: why did haerin just have this lying around?
"amortentia: the potion of love," hyein read out.
wait. "isn't that from harry potter? like, amortentia, the love potion?"
"shush, unnie."
she continued, underlining the next part of the description with her finger. "ingredients: ashwinder eggs, rose thorns, rose petals, and powdered moonstone," the youngest looked up from the book expectantly, "with that being said, let's go get the ingredients?"
"wait, where are you even going toâ"
haerin cut minji off, standing up from her seat. she brushed invisible dust off of her shoulders and pressed her lips into a thin line. minji could see the teasing glint in her eyes. "i know where to get them."
"so do i!" danielle, who was practically bubbling with excitement, agreed. she linked her arm with haerin, who looked like she was five seconds from melting at her touch.
minji was speechless. appalled. petrified, even. her mouth opened and closed until she was able to get them back to their seats with a wave of her hand.
"how do you guys..." her eye twitched. she missed her caffeine intake for the day, which was amplifying the stressful situation. "...know that magic even, i don't know, exists?"
"haerin's a vampire! so they have to exist!" danielle blurted out.
"what?"
pfft. kang haerin, a vampire? likely story. sure, she never willingly went outside, and she always wore a hat and sunglasses when it was sunny outside, and sometimes minji could see a dribble of red left on her chin after she took a sip from her thermos (wasn't it just gatorade? though it was weird to keep it in a thermos.) but there was no way that haerin was a vampire. they didn't exisâ
the "vampire" then opened her mouth and showed off her very... very sharp fangs.
"..."
"anyway, we're off now! watch the cauldron, don't let mr. park take it away, 'kay unnie?"
the rest of the group packed their things and left the lab. hanni stayed behind to close her same-aged friend's mouth, which was hanging agape. "you're gonna let a fly go in your mouth, bro."
kim minji had a headache.
over the course of 45 minutes, the girls came back one by one with the ingredients needed for the potion. of course, minji still had her doubts, even after the reveal of haerin being a vampire. one of her friends was a bloodsucker, so what? it didn't prove that magical potions also existed and worked.
she twirled the cork on the filled glass bottle in her hand. they were missing one ingredient (the powdered moonstone), but hyein got excited and convinced everyone to fill the bottle with the unfinished concoction before they headed to danielle's house to get moonstone from her dusty attic. granted, they were going to fill another bottle when they returned with the final ingredient, but who could resist the youngest's pleading eyes?
anyway, minji had thought she'd seen it all when she witnessed the liquid turn into gas after hanni read out some words in latin. like, seriously. it was swirling around in a pink mist in the glass bottle she was holding, right at this moment.
("bro, what was that you just said." minji deadpanned, looking just about done with everyone. except danielle, she was an angel. she could never stay upset at the australian for too long.
"it's what's supposed to make it so when the two people involved inhale the fumes that it turns into, just breathe in the effects," hanni explained, shrugging. "or at least that's what haerin said. but in her big girl words."
"do you even know what it translates to?"
"uh, no! do you think i'm like some sort of genius?"
"no."
"hey!")
after danielle and haerin's thorough explanation, she understood that it basically turned into a minecraft splash potion. and that the effects could only lock onto two people at maximum.
despite that, it was recommended to be alone with the person as you "accidentally" dropped the potion and broke it to release the gas.
all minji had to do was plan a day to do it, and therefore begin the procedure. she didn't want to force you to love her... thankfully, the effects would only last for a day, plenty of time for minji to fulfill her delusions before it all went away forever.
speaking of you, you were so... dreamy. you were charming, cute, and way out of her league. you were a popular student, straight a's and involved in many extracurriculars. minji, on the other hand, liked to keep with her group of five. and while she also held a perfect record, she really only involved herself with the journaling club because she was the president this year.
the two of you had met in chemistry in freshman year (ironic, wasn't it?) and were partnered for the whole year, inevitably leading to minji's development of romantic feelings. eventually, you started hanging out more and she even got to meet your family. once. at curriculum night. that counted, right? even if all she said was hello before she ran off to join hanni. jesus, she was a loser.
"hey, what's that?" a voice came from behind minji, startling her and causing her to drop the bottle.
"oh, shit!" she watched in horror as the potion in its obnoxious pink gaseous form floated up between you. her breath hitched, and the realization that she'd just breathed the gas in hit too late.
a silence fell over the two of you, and she was hit with a feeling that she hadn't experienced since your first meeting, captivated by your enchanting eyes in a way that felt like the first time. she was in a daze, your beauty sending her into a state of delirium.
and you were the same: staring at minji like she lit up the stars, mouth slightly agape and hands twitching.
this continued for another two minutes, until you finally broke out of it and into a laughing fit.
"whaâwhat," minji shook her head in bewilderment. did that just happen?
you rested your hand on her shoulder. she gulped.
"minji," you smiled, "was that supposed to be a love potion?"
"noâyesâwait, how'd you know?"
the smile dropped (minji pouted in her mind. your smile was so pretty.) from your face into a confused expression. why were you the confused one? weren't you laughing a good five seconds ago?
"...i'm a witch?"
"you're a what?"
you pointed to yourself like it was obvious, "a witch." minji wanted to hurl herself off of the four story school building. "i thought you knew?"
"no! how was i supposed to-" she sighed. "first it's haerin being a vampire, now you're a witch, don't tell me the next thing i'm going to find out for the first time is that dani's a fairy or something."
you raised up a finger, an innocent smile emerging, "actually, she's a werewolf."
"...you know what. i don't even wanna know anymore."
stepping over the broken glass, you took a seat next to the embarrassed girl, patting her on the back. "the potion would've worked, but i guess you were missing something... who was it supposed to be for? sorry i interrupted."
burying her face into her arms, which rested on a nearby table, she mumbled out a small, "you."
"me?" you widened your eyes, taken aback. then, you started giggling.
well fuck. that was basically a confession, and you were now laughing at her. nothing could save minji now. maybe one of your friends were listening in and she would become the laughingstock of the school for the rest of her life. maybe she should go beg her parents to move back to canada and stay there forever.
"minji," you tapped her head playfully. she raised her head just enough to reveal her red eyes. the sight made you frown and gesture for her to look up so you could wipe her freshly formed tears away.
"don't cry, why are you crying?"
"cause," she hiccupped. "you don't like me back."
you raised your eyebrows. "who said i didn't like you back?"
minji furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "then why'd you start laughing?"
"because, minji," you wiped another stray tear from her cheeks, "i just thought it was funny that you were making amortentia for me. you don't even need the potion because i like you too."
"you do...?"
words couldn't even describe what minji felt right now. you liked her back? you liked her back! holy shit, she could die happy. actually, she couldn't die right now. what about the apartment you would rent together after graduation and the dogs you'd adoptâactually, maybe you'd like cats better. did witches actually prefer cats? actually didn't even sound like a word anymore.
her monotone world was turned inside out in the span of a single day, and she ended up with the revelation of you reciprocating her feelings? score! she couldn't wait to brag to her friends about this. they would probably ask her (in astonishment, and minji would have a smug smirk on her face) how such a perfect being such as you would like a loser like minji. really, she should ask the same thing. why did you like a loser like minji?
anyway, that was beside the point. what minji should be paying attention to is your smile that could light up a thousand rooms.
"mhm. now let's get this all cleaned up and get some ice cream?"
minji nodded almost too enthusiastically. she almost had a tail wagging behind her at the mention of an ice cream date with you. her two favorite things!
("um... should we just go?"
"but what about the moonstone we just ground up? that shit was blinding as hell, don't tell me our efforts just went to waste."
"we went through all the trouble, including going to danielle's crusty dusty attic, just for them to get together without the potion?"
"i thought you guys thought my attic was cool!"
"i think your attic is cool."
"of course you would say that, haerin. whipped assâow!")
a/n : i felt bad for delaying lovergirl for so long (it's still delayed) so here's a little minji fic cus i missed her

How about opla!sanji being completely in love with the reader the moment he sees them?
It just hits him, bam, love at first sight. He plans to marry them kinda moment. Maybe they are in need of rescue or part of a rival crew.
A/N IMPORTANT:Â Hi Anon ! Thank you for your request. I had so much fun writing it and playing with the idea of Sanji just planning his own wedding cake at the first of the reader. I assume by your use of Them that you wanted it gender neutral so I did my best and I hope you will like !
I though I knew love
OPLA - Vinsmoke Sanji x Reader Gender neutral (Them)
Sanji series : SFW Shiny Offering - NSFW The Small Favor - SFW The Mermaid Dream - SFW The Magic of a Kiss - NSFW Casual
* English is not my first language, I tried really hard to correct myself but, I hope you will excuse me if some mistakes are still there.
---
Love is a strange thing. Leading you to have affection for a thing, a pet, a person, multiple people at once, maybe, one more that another or felt head over heels for somebody at first sight.Â
Not that you could tell yourself. Your love life hadnât nothing to be told if not the term âboringâ was the best to describe it. You had ,of course, a certain attraction and affection for your previous partners, but in your experience, the big true love was only things existing in books and short stories.Â
However,the last thing you wanted to think about right now was love. The chain retraining your wrist was starting to get itchy, the little drop of water falling from the ceiling every ten seconds slowly gave you headaches and you could smell it in the air. The crew of Marines had become a little bit more nervous since they brought you a new cell companion, an unconscientious pretty orange haired girl. Maybe she would become your key to escape that rat hole of a ship.Â
As if your thought had summoned it, you suddenly heard the blast of cannon and the scream of an eminent battle. Your brain working at full speed, you immediately start to search for a way out of that damn cell. Never you will allow yourself to be caught again, neither by the marine ,whoâs without no doubt will execute you, nor by those pirates. You didnât escape the circus or Buggy to come back in this nightmare. You prefer to drown.Â
Kicking the door as hard as you can, targeting the rusty corner of the keyhole you abruptly stop when you hear heavy footsteps in the stairs and a face you had hoped never see again.Â
â They finally caught you hm ? â Zoro nagged you, taking a look at Nami who slowly was regaining consciousness. â Welcome back, I'll get you out in a minute. I have to decide what we do with your little roommate here. âÂ
â I suggest you let me go and forget my existence. I did what I did because I was in debt with Buggy, go hunt him down instead â You replied,already knowing that the pirate hunter wasnât the kind to let you go so easily.
â I could, or you could win your freedom. Fight me and I'll let you go â He offered, opening the door, but still blocking you the way.Â
â-
Sanji was right behind Zoro, clearing his part of the deck, kicking with all he had. Somewhere between a missing punch from a Marine and a successful attack of this part against a kneecap. He had nodded when his green hair crew member had informed him that he will go downstairs to help Nami. But, he hadnât come back since and Sanji didnât like it at all. How many times he will have to save the life of that ungrateful mosshead.
Getting down the stairs, the blond chef never passes the last step. What was in front of him was simply unreal. Â
Sanji, though he knew love, had felt love before. But, as you succeed to push Zoro in a full blast, he realizes that he, in fact, never felt it that way. Seeing you still enchained, but still so beautifully strong, trying to defend yourself as furiously as a tiger, with the only help of the loose chain of your restraints bracelet. Makes him feel as if he receives himself a punch in the guts. From somewhere he could hear the wedding bell and almost see the magnificent cake he will bake for the event.
Maybe a Lemon quatre-quart or a simple sponge vanilla cake with pieces of strawberry in it. Are roses will be too classic or a cascade of fresh tiger lily accros the cake would make it look to bold.
He sadly couldnât finish his delicious pastry though. When, as in an attempt of escaping what could be a mortal blast, you enter in full collision with his body. Â
As you try to get up, your eyes finally meet his. In the most stressful moment of your life, you feel yourself caught in the bluest gaze you've ever seen. And just like that, the idea of love at first sight didnât seem to you like some literature mirage.  Â
â Hello there â Sanji smiled, laying under you, his head gently resting against a step, letting you free to decide your next move. Sure if you decided to step on him to break free, it would probably permanently break his heart, but if it would save your life, he will accept it gladly.Â
âHiâŚâ You nervously replied, trying, and failing pathetically to not smile with him.Â
â Hey waiter, stay out of that ! The fight isnât over come back here Y/N â Zoro groan.Â
â In fact I think we should all get out of here â Nami declared, as a boom and a big crash came from upstairs.
Finally untangle yourself from the blond man, still on your guard in front of Zoro, but unable to snatch your gaze of Sanji. You nod of the head and proceed to get up the stairs.Â
The whole ship was a mess, every Marines on the deck was unconscious, the mainmast was down and as you can see, the only person still standing was a way too joyful young man wearing a straw hat.
â Hey ! Did you find another crew member !? â He asked, like if you arenât still unchained and clearly under the dark gaze of Zoro.Â
â More like a lot of Berries in warrant â The young swordsman replied.Â
â We canât collect a warrant while being yourself a pirate Zoro and you had to admit it was a great fight you had. â Nami contributed, offering you a smile. â I was mostly unconscious but I heard you had escaped from Buggy, we are different, we could need your help in our crew.â Â
â I will gladly welcome them in the crew if they want to join, â Sanji answered, smiling at you, a tenderness you hadnât fully understood in his eyes. â I canât wait to cook you your favorite meal.â  Â
â Well, I...if Zoro will not kill me in my sleep I guess that I will stick with you for a while. â You answered, curious to discover the meaning of this strange feeling you felt earlier with the tall blond. And the woman, Nami, seems right. Even in the clown crew, you hadnât seen nothing like their good chemistry. Â
â Whatever â The ex-pirate hunter mumbled, clearly not happy but ready to follow ,what you surprisingly guess, is his captain. Â
â Yahoo ! Iâm Monkey D. Luffy, we are the straw hat crew and I will be King of the Pirate ! Letâs get back to the ship, those handcuffs would be really uncomfortable ! â
â
Later that night, free of your chain and well fed for the first time in a while, you stay a little longer in the kitchen.Â
Sitting at the table, the soft noise of Sanji cooking and the waves crashing against the hull . You absently dried the table knife you were previously cleaning.Â
â Y/N can you try those and tell me which you prefer ?â Sanji gently asked you, putting in front of you two slices of cake.Â
A lemon quatre -quart and a vanilla sponge cake with strawberry pieces.Â
At first surprise, you gave them a try, not sure of the last time you had cake.Â
â I canât chooseâŚThey are both delicious ! â You answered, finishing both slices. â What is it for ?âÂ
â Oh itâs for an event I plan for the futureâŚâ He simply replied, taking away the empty plates. âWhen we will be readyâ
You didnât know exactly why, maybe it was his soft smile when he was talking about that mysterious future plan or the gaze he was laying on you. But you couldn���t help yourself to feel your cheeks warming up a little, excited to discover more about that plan and which role you will play in it.

So I've finished my first run through of the game and did the epilogue which was just so precious! But anyways, it made me think, how would the companions react upon announcing at the reunion you and your partner are expecting!
I actually don't do requests but I like this one. I haven't made it to the epilogue yet in game but I think I can still answer these. They might be short though so please forgive me! đ
I also tried to keep the reader's sex and gender as ambiguous as possible, but some words are hard to convey in gender neutral terms. Also the reader's partner is not specified.
But if your partner is Astarion (like my Tav's) I feel like everyone would have a similar "Is that even possible!?" reaction, except maybe Gale cause he's well studied.
Shadowheart
If you're the pregnant one she remarks on how she thought you were getting fat.
Like girl has no chill.
But if you're the father I can see her teasing you about not being able to keep your hands to yourself around your partner.
Proceeds to gift you gothic style clothes for the little one when it's closer to the birth.
Wyll
He immediately congratulates you both and wishes you well on your new adventure in parenting.
Assures you that the two of you will make a beautiful baby.
Also he asks to touch the bump if the pregnant person is showing. đĽş
Buys toys for the baby before it's even born.
Karlach
Immediately screams "FUCK YEAH I'M GONNA BE AN AUNT!!!"
Runs around to tell everyone else and buys you both drinks to celebrate for the occasion.
Needs to be reminded that drinking is bad for the baby.
Will plant a big smooch on the baby bump if the pregnant person is showing.
Starts wearing a T-shirt that says "BEST FUCKIN AUNT EVER." Also gets a matching shirt for the little one.
Lae'zel
Unless she has Xan she isn't particularly interested. She'd probably still congratulate you in her own githyanki way I suppose if you're on good terms.
If she does have Xan she suggests they spar together some day. Though she is confident her son will be victorious.
This is probably her own way of having a play date for your children.
Gale
Congratulates you both and wishes the two of you the best.
Offers to teach the child magic when they become old enough to learn.
Buys you lots of parenting books and tries to help by reminding you lots of useful facts, but in the end he kinda just low-key starts to be a bit annoying.
He means well though.
Astarion
Of course he may already be well aware of the pregnant person's bun in the oven depending on how far along they are.
His vampiric senses alert him to the little heartbeat within, you see.
"Enjoy your last few months of freedom and sleep filled nights while you can, darlings!~"
"But really, I am rather happy for the two of you. Especially you, I didn't think you had it in you." He says condescendingly to the father of the child.
Honestly he's just a little bitter he's single and alone.
Pretends not to have any interest in touching the baby bump, says he has no interest in the little creature growing inside.
But if he has a good relationship with either of the two parents he will make the baby eccentric little outfits. Especially goes all out if it's a little girl. Purple and red ruffles all over.
Will get very offended if he doesn't see the baby wearing them.
He put his soul into those outfits godsdamnit!

assorted pjo/hoo headcanons
part 1 - part 2
autistic!will. i mean. i was one of the first people to write it (and post it on ao3, but i had stuff about it on my long gone old blog before then). this is true. to me. it's not incredibly obvious unless you know what you're looking for because 99% of the time he's eloquent and very passionate and maybe it's just the hyper healer in him and he'd like to think he passes well. but for people who know they can just tell. it's the voice, man /gn. gives you away every time /lh
pots!hazel. she ends up (mostly!) recovering from the fainting episodes associated with her flashbacks but still faints and feels unwell a lot of the time. she spends a lot of her energy and magic on staying conscious and aware, leaving her foggy and with flare-ups. will ends up diagnosing her half-way on accident during the three days nico stays in the infirmary. she doesn't faint a lot, but she will frequently have her vision black out when she stands and feel nauseous if she has to stand still for more than ten minutes (more or less depending on the day). together with jason and nico the three of them make up the fainting trio
reyna speaks excessively formally and politely when she's uncomfortable and the moment she feels safe around you she will just loosen up completely. it becomes very clear very quickly how much of her time is spent being uncomfortable
genderfluid!lou ellen. most of the time she's happy to be referred to as a girl, but some days it just feels wrong and she prefers to be referred to either gender-neutrally or masculinely. it's not something she's out about to anyone but her closest friends, partially because there's kind of enough stigma around being the child of hecate and also, it's not all that obvious, even to her.
nico is a bit like a social interaction vampire. he's not as shut off as others seem to think, he just needs to be given explicit permission to talk about his interests because he's worried about annoying other people, especially after bianca essentially abandoned him. he could talk for hours and hours about his special interests (because yes, he's probably autistic too) like mythomagic (he picks it up again with percy's encouragement), ancient languages and literature
will and katie (gardner) friendship. they bond over liking star wars and when lou ellen join their circle she manipulates the mist to recreate scenes from the movies. as she gets better at it she manages to make the light sabers glow, much to will and katie's delight
after the battle of manhattan and will/kayla/austin almost dying from being overworked, the camp gets together with mr d and chiron without the apollo kids' knowledge and figure out how to run the infirmary in a more sustainable way than just forcing apollo and athena kids to be there. eventually they settle on apollo kids doing 8-hour shifts but none at night unless someone is severely wounded. for the night shift, other campers work in rotating pairs where one sleeps for the first four hours and the other for the last four hours. a lot more campers gain appreciation for the amount of work the apollo (and athena) cabin put in to keep them alive and healthy and the apollo cabin doesn't die of burnout
t1 diabetic!kayla. she's been sick with it since she was six, but thanks to having a very supportive dad and a team of professionals around him considering his status as an olympic archer, her condition is well-managed (most of the time, war time is unpredictable) and she knows how to treat and manage it considering her demigod lifestyle. accompanying headcanon to this: while ambrosia and nectar is mostly to heal injuries and wounds of a divine and/or serious nature, it can short-term manage blood sugar. mortal intervention is always needed to fix the problem though. a bit like how narcan delays but can't entirely fix an opioid overdose
cecil wasn't properly accepted as a child of hermes at first considering he didn't express exceptional skills at the more obvious and everyday traits associated with the cabin (multilingualism, athleticism, thievery). first when he was found to accidentally being an exceptional saboteur was he properly accepted by the rest of his siblings. due to this he tended to hang out with the unclaimed children in the hermes cabin rather than his own siblings, especially lou ellen
hjs!cecil (hypermobile joint syndrome; double-jointedness). he's not good with most physical activities because of this and easily discouraged to even attempt most sports due to how his cabin alienated him for not being exceptionally agile, a trait associated with their cabin. it's not uncommon for his wrists and ankles to not work well (such as the twisted ankle in boo). however, he feels like he "compensates" for this by working in the shadows. when properly encouraged and supported, he prefers fighting with knives (close combat or throwing), relying on being obnoxious to throw the enemy off

Personal pet peeve: TTRPGs that are send-offs of the magical girl genre that include a dopey âuhhh âmagical girlâ is a gender neutral term!â explanation to justify the game for people who will throw up if they have to play a woman
#related to the previous reblog#im not even that familiar with the magical girl genre#Iâm sure thereâs works that contain male characters in that archetype. but be real with me for one second#rpg#big âoh I call everyone dudeâ energy

Obey Me! Brothers as Fathers
Kinda part of that Poly! AU Iâve talked about before. So this can be read as either that or separate. The kids are all original characters, but MC can be read as any gender in this. Remember- this is Devildom so any way of kids happening could go. Either surrogate, magic ways, or natural so literally, anybody can read this. (Male, Female, Gender Neutral, whatever you prefer is all Welcomed <;3)
Not my best work, but I like it enough to post it. So yeah...
Enjoy^^

Warnings?- Talks of violence (Satanâs), Use of the word Sl*t and derogatory terms/harrasment (Mammonâs) and thatâs mostly it. Asmo calls someone a b*tch but thats basic Asmo at this point.
Lucifer---------------------Â
He feels the urge, the one heâs felt with his brothers for years. To sigh, to pitch his brow, an outward showism of his displeasure of the situation.
But he ignores it because he knows what reaction heâll get from the little girl at his feet. Sheâll curl up tighter, grip the plastic of her glasses tenser in those small hands of hers.
Practically achieve the exact opposite of what he wants.
He manages a silent sigh, joining her level in a kneel.
âLillie..â The noirette head doesnât budge much, if only, just to bury further. He doesnât comment and instead runs a soothing palm across her back. Soothing out the creases along her small uniform. âWhatâs the matter? Do you no longer want to participate?â
The small crowd of parents in the auditorium is loud. If he were in his demon form, surely it wouldâve been louder. Thankfully, this form allows him to hear his little one.
â....mnmâŚâ Well. Barely.
âDarling, I canât understand when your face is covered.â Gently so, when she picks it up, his fingers trail to cup her cheek. Itâs damp. And continues to be so as new tears prick out and smear downward. His thumb rubs in little wipe-aways.
â..I dunno..Iâm scared.â
âScared of what?â For a man known for such high power, his voice stays low.
âThe stage..I donât want to go up..â Her eyes dart to the theater doors in front of them then back.
âAnd whyâs that?â A small part of him feels like itâs wavering on powerless and helpless as her bottom lip wobbles.
âCauseâŚCause I-I donât want to..to embarrass you.â
Stab. Twist.
His sigh spooks her but she keeps her chin high at him. She knows lowering it back down wonât help either.
âDarling, you can never embarrass me. At the very least not on stage.â
âI canât?â
âOf course not.â Lucifer offers a smile, and brings his hand to her head, gently pulling out the tangles in small strokes. âYou want to know why?â
Her brow furrows, seeming entirely confused. When she canât think of anything, the same eyes as his spouse greets him again.
âCause youâre my daughter. And whatâs our family known for?â
â..Pride?â
âExactly. I have never been un-prideful of you. And I never will be.â He takes her glasses, her grip falling without hesitation. Giving them a good cleanse from tears and dirt of the dangling coat on his shoulder, he pushes her long locks away, mindful of the pins, and slides her glasses slowly back.
Cheezy at best, and his spouse will be surely teasing him about it later, but it brings a smile to her face. One shy but growing.
He helps her up, patting off her patterned skirt and button up. And once she looks composed, his arm finds her violin. It was a few feet away, a hazard that thankfully didnât come true.
âNowâŚLillith..âThe face of a suddenly new girl shines back at him as he turns around, violin stretched for her grasp. âDo you no longer want to participate?â
A similar gleam to the one of a certain human flickers as she takes it. â I do.â
âGood.â He bends slightly, kissing the 7 year oldâs forehead, âThen do me even prouder, my dear.â
Mammon--------------
A snort escapes him before he can even want to try and stop it. Why should he? This is comedy gold!
The other demon, one tight in some odd get up, is basically begging to get away from his fiery hellspawn.
A 15 year old girl. Heâs pretty sure if she had better control of her power, sheâd be using it to make that pale hair of hers turn into fire, really playing into the âYou fucked up really damn badâ card.
Just like his little human back at home.
What brought this whole thing on?
Simple.
As the father-daughter duo just finished up a nice day of shopping, trying to look for a new outfit for her 16th next Friday, they decided to stroll pass on the lonely street on their laughter-filled walk home. Sweet Varya was just-a bubbling with excitement, her two shaded eyes brimming with possibilities. 16. Sixteen. The big teen! While Mammon was a tad solemn at the idea of her getting bigger, another year gone until the pending day she wonât need her dear old man anymore, he couldnât help but share the excitement. His sole focus was her and not letting anything make her upset today.
And he was doing a remarkable streak!.....Until someone had to jump in and ruin it.
âHey sl*t!â
Mammonâs head snapped, finding the demon leering from afar. His daughter rolled her eyes and tugged on his jacket, âCâmon pops.â She already heard enough of this at school. Just ignore âem and move on.
âHey!â Theyâre quick, making it across the street, following in from several good meters behind them, âIâm talkinâ to ya, b*tch!â
Mammon wraps an arm around her, something he questions why he didnât before. His glare is searing from under his hood. âShe ainât interested, pal.â He feels a wack on his arm.
The other demon just up and ignores him, âCâmon beautiful, ditch this f*cker already, yeah?â
It went similar to this for a good minute longer, the two trying to ignore their presence, even Mammon moving to stop and wanting to ape on their ass but Varya pulls him away, claiming heâs worth nothinâ.
The demon, hearing this loud and clear, starts spitting insult after insult at Mammon.
Varyaâs been very calm about this, praying to get home without dealing with a fight she knows her dad will win, up until the demon spats out his last insult.
âScummy f*ckinâ-â
Within mere seconds the demon was forced to the ground.
Aaaaaand here we are now.
âWho gives ya tha damn right to talk ta my father that way?!â
âNani?!â The demon screeches.
She may not be facing him, but itâs little thought of her appearance.
Gold lacing her irises, maybe the same tipping into her snow hair that dangles past her upper torso, teeth bared and baby fangs out. Varya not fearing a ting of holding back. âMy old man is someone yer very lucky thinks more than fights, cause if he were anyone else, youâd be more than sobbinâ on tha ground right now, ya soddinâ sot!â
âSoddinâ sot?â âMustâve gotten it from Satan or Luci.â His mumbles don't reach either pair of ears. Huh..He shouldâve  gotten some popcorn if he knew this was gonna happen. Okay, obviously heâs not happy with hearinâ his little girl get called derogatory shit, but her reaction now⌠by-his-previous-father get him a camera cause this is amazing.
Though all good things must come to an endâŚ
His back pocket vibrates. As his daughter keeps backlashing obscenities in front of him, the demon forever continuing to cower under her wrath, Mammon hums a little tune while plucking the device up.
His arms adjust all the bags he grasps onto one arm, unlocking the screen, a nice photo of his sweet human and their hellraising daughter of course, and dragging up the messages.
My Treasure: Are you guys on the way yet? I got the noodles on the way.
His fingers go fast. He hears some added shuffling upfront.
Mams<3: Ya better believe it. Might take a sec tho. Yer daughterâs dealinâ with some shrub.
My Treasure: Get her to kick their ass later then, otherwise sheâll miss the food.
âYo, darls. Yer momâs/popâs askinâ for ya. We gotta get home quick if we donât wanna miss dinner.â He calls out, shoving back his phone.
âYeah yeah..â Just when the mess on the ground thinks sheâs finally done, tired of her torment as she spins on heel. She has little to no hesitation in proving him wrong.Â
Twisting back around and slamming down a good, and I mean good, few inch heel right into the ground.Â
Mere centimeters from their groin.
Mammon lets a low whistle ride at the sight of short cracks in the ground. Guess she does have good control.
The demon is whimpering, shaking from his very core as their pale face is stuck at the sight. Their eyes flick up, meeting that dangerous gold. âTry somethinâ like that againâŚ.â
â-And youâll burn all their favorite toy collections?!â Howls Mammon.
âWhat?â Varyaâs lips pull into a pout, âNot my fault I guessed right.â
âOh yes! âCause that just made it even fuckinâ better!â His laugh goes echoing down the street.
âWhat do you mean? âEven betterâ?â
Mammon keeps the voice the same, full of humor, âJust knowinâ how ya think of yer pops.â He says it so nonchalant too. âIâm glad yer startinâ ta think that now. Be a pain if ya didnât.â
Varyaâs smirk wipes away, a frown replacing it. She...wasnât expecting that.Â
â...Dad.â
His hand that was at the gate, ready to just push it and follow in, stills at her palm on his sleeve, âThe hell ya talkinâ about?â Her head shakes as if she canât believe her ears.
âThatâŚthat you donât think Iâm some scummy fucker?â He reiterates.
âIâve never thought that of ya?.. It be stupid if I did.â
Mammon may or may not have cried in his spouseâs arms that night.
Leviathan-----------
He should web search:
Can human/demon hybrid children survive long times in water?
His phone is just casually placed on the sink a few feet behind him, wouldnât take long.
Like 5âŚor 10âŚor 1 minute long.
âŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ..
How long does it take for a human to pass out again??
He doesnât have a f-ing clue! Oh..how he wishes MC stayed longer, theyâd know exactly what to do.
Pressing the towel against his tank top, bending into his knee, he ruffles up his TSL patterned night pants, dipping a leg into the water.
The tub was big enough to be considered a kiddie pool instead of a usual tub, but still just as deep. His son just had to convince him to use it for bathtime, and he also just had to convince him of how great it would be to add in lots of bubbles.
Yeah.. His hand tries to wats away some out of his path, very greatâŚsaid no one but his son.
âRhomb!â His whistle beats into the sizable bathroom, âCome out! Pappa canât see you!â
Youâd think the bubbles would keep out a child of Rhombâs age from trying to diver under constantly, yeah? Well, thanks to Mcâs grand and lovely mind- seriously it was quite smart at the time-, they were able to get tear-free bath bubbles, as he did keep going under water.
In the few momentâs Leviâs ever had, he once again curses his more aquatic biology.
Keeping a tight grip on his rolled up pants- they may be rolled up, safely out of water, but you never know!- he carefully shuffles around the bath, eyes wide alert for any shifting waters.
He has to go slow, otherwise, he might end up with a snappy toddler and his aching tiny tail.
And that just be- wait..
Woh, there!
At one side of the tub, closer to the one with a mirror, a sliver of light purple slides up then back down again, quick as a whip.
Following the slight wave of the water, itâs suddenly more clear despite the constant bubble brigade, he can see Rhombâs pattern.
Swim around the ring, stop at the mirror and turn clockwise or counterclockwise. HuhâŚ
In rare moments, here and there, he can see that dark purple mop of hair on his head tease the surface, eyes hidden well. But not enough, Levi can see him watching him. A tilt of his sonâs head through the wading waters and heâs off swimming again.
A shiver runs up his back.
Itâs like a damn shark.
Oh come on, you stupid otaku! Youâve been the Admiral of Hellâs Navy for millenniums! Youâve fought in the Great Celestial War alongside your siblings, dealt with un-amountable and hellish enemies even after, are you really going to be afraid of a tiny, pipsqueak, guppy-looking-
Yes. Yes he is.
First rule of having a human/demon child, class-Fish-
Avoid the chompers.
But- The water sloshes against a higher part of his leg, the yelp-worthy cold shooting up his nerves, if not, more. He has to get his son out before the cold sets in and a grumpy toddler wonât be the worst of his problems.
With that and an affirming nod to himself, he braces a leg, summons up his tail for extra leverage and gets his game face on.
Funny, he shouldâve really been paying more attentionâŚ.he wouldâve been able to see the glimpse of purple riding up behind him.
Time blip---^^^
MC returns home close to an hour later, tugging off their jacket and half-hazardly tossing the keys into the stationed bowl.
Their call echos in their lovely abode, yet goes unanswered.
When pausing at the kitchen doorway, it becomes clear as to why.
Set in one of the dining chairs is Levi, eyes tinged a bit red around the dark look he gives off. Hollow and defeated.
The poor papa flinches as their 3 year oldâs teeth sinks further into the dark purple tail coiled around him and his blanket. Golden laced eyes leering up at Levi.
â...Should I ask..?â
Levi only mouths one word, âHelp.â
Satan-----------
Libbey has kept her head down since being picked up.
The school called up her father, explaining her little incident with another student at lunch, claiming she violently attacked the poor other demon. Satan had no will to believe it until he saw the photos.
Before he made any real assumptions, he turned to her and asked her reasoning for this attack.
Now theyâre driving, possibly home. She can handle a phone being taken away, most likely grounded from anything fun for the week suspension thatâs been bestowed upon her, but she dreads the impending lecture.
Oh dear, would Lucifer join? Both in the same room? Giving her a lecture that could last her unknowing mortal/immortal life as they know it?
Whereâs mamma/papa when you need them?
âWeâre here.â
Gnawing her cheek, she bites back a groan as she lolls her eyes up.
Sheâs fully expecting to see the suspicious opening of their homey gates, maybe the rare glance of Cerberus minding the perimeter in his patrol, a sibling or two out and about making their chaos known to the world.
She doesnât get that. Instead, she gets a nice and cozy looking cafe shop, a simple yet cottage core vibe sign planted on the front, with a giant, winking cartoon cat next to an equally cartoonish coffee treat. On the outside, there are various sets of outdoor furniture such as tables and chairs sat under colorful and patterned umbrellas.
â...Are we at a cat cafe?â Her lips are close to making her mumble as her eyes stray on the collared cats wandering around the windows.
âYepâ He pops the âpâ, grabbing his wallet. âCome on.â
Libbey gapes at her father getting out. When her brain catches up, sheâs already scrambling out of the car, calling out to him, âD-dad! But-but I got into a fight!â
âYeah you did.â Satanâs going at a leisurely pace, eyes glimmering at the myriad of cats that await him.
âI fractured his wing!â
âYep.â
âI gave him lacerations all over, even on his tail! Thatâs one of the most sensitive spots on a demonâs body!â
âOh yeah..â His feet falter in their next step, then proceeds with as little as a thrown over the shoulder, âThatâs correct.â
Libbey hands twitch for her hair, âHe possibly has a concussion for what I did!â
âI would suspect so after getting tossed like a ragdoll at a wall.â
âDAD!â Her hand clings to his jacket, tugging him back, âWhy are we here??â
âWhy wouldnât we?â He answers, adding in a suspicious tilt of the head, âYou were only defending yourself.â
âBut I-â
âLibbey, I need you to understand this.â His sleeve escapes but soon lands a hand on her shoulder, âYou may have lost some control of your anger. It happens, but I know you know better too. I will never punish you for defending yourself, alright?â
His hand shifts, now behind her shoulder to start nudging. When she tries to object, still flabbergasted at his response, heâs quick to shut her possible words up with, âNow get inside so we can play with the cats.â
Asmodeus--------
Circle number 1,589
Circle number 1,590
Circle number 1,591
Circle number-
âWe get it, Asmo! Youâre worried! Now pipe it down and join our show or get out!!â Mammon practically hisses. Heâs here to get away from his counting based job, not to do something entirely similar.
Asmo stops steamrolling in his 1,592nd circle behind the couch. Leviathan is too engrossed into the film to comment his own coequal tease. Truthfully, it would fall on deaf ears as Asmo doesnât hesitate to roughly spin around, seething at the teeth.
âIâm more than worried! Iâm fretting!!!â His fangs threaten blindly to a nonchalant Mammon. Said brotherâs offer is an uninvolved eye roll, flicking back to the scene playing out on the flat screen.
Asmoâs chest lets out a great huff, marching right over and in front of Mammon, arms crossed.
A resounding moan shows his brotherâs discontempt, edging his head left and right to try and see the screen. âAmso! Seriously?!â
âMy sweet baby boy is out there with a possible witch-bitch, all alone without me or our darling, MC to back him up! Who knows how hisâŚdate..could have been raised?!â Hurriedly, his pacemarking starts right up again, this time doing odd circles around the couch, âThey probably didnât even bring him flowers!â
âDidnât he do the flower thing?â Levi avoids Mammonâs swats and hisses. He scoots away from their kicking and whining older brother.
âYES! But thatâs because I raised him to be the perfect gentleman!â
âAnd MC.â Mammon relents once.
âYes- But who knows how that other child thinks??â His feet pause in their momentum for a preferable deride, âMy baby must be miserable!â
âWhy are you so worried about it anyway?â Mammonâs finger rubs at his ear before flicking, âThe kid is 16, almost 17 now.â
âBesides, heâs literally half demon,â Levi swallows down, licking off chocolate, âAfter passing nearly every single test Lucifer and Satan have thrown at him about self defense, I think Quinn can handle himself.â
That has Asmodeus, the always extravagant diva, screeching to a halt. Ugh! Yes, he knows his son if more than capable to protect himself if need be. But- heâs talking about mentally. Emotionally.
Beel may be the one picked out as the most emotionally in-tuned brother, especially when it comes to the kids, but AsmoâŚ.Quinn is his diamond in the rough, one that he prides himself in protecting as his might lets him.
 Especially when it involves his own sin.
These two wonât get it⌠Asmo scorns a final look over his shoulder, before retreating from the living room.
Time Blipppppp
Quinn lets the door close behind him, locking it up before ringing and tossing his keys into the bowl of many,many personally designed keys plotted abutting the door.
His whistling follows him into the dubbed âKidsâ Kitchen. Itâs just an extra kitchen made for the kids to keep Beel from raiding all the attendants in the household of food.
He pops open a cold pop, leaning into the islandâs top whilst thumbing through his phone.
Quinn lets slip a muffled chuckle at the photos he and the-honest-to-the-all-not-mighty cute witch heâs been able to treat tonight. Such a shy one too, hiding behind his arm in between getting jumpscared by a raunchy horror attraction after the next.
In face of horror, they continued to give him a bright smile in the midst of their excited hopping, so heâs confident they enjoyed it just the same. Heâll make sure to bring them to a more relaxed type of date next time however.
The silence that is 2 AM gets barged open by an Asmodeus sized battering ram.
Frantic footsteps, that are the only ones Quinn can detect but not ready for, fly for the kitchen entrance. Asmo darts around itâs corner, and immediately throws arms around Quinn.
âQUINN!â
The teen stumbles back, smacking his pop down to keep from spilling. His free arm clutches his dadâs robe, begging for steadiness. â Dad?! â
Asmodeus pops up and his hands flag to Quinnâs face, âAre you ok? How was the date??â
Although the dramatic behavior from Asmodeus wouldnât be new to him, itâs late . Asmoâs usually in bed by now, clinging to his routine like a lifeline if no plans are made previously. All for the sake of his precious skin.
Quinn blinks once then twice, âUh..Great?â
Asmo gasps as if heâs found out the worst news, âThatâs a question! I knew it!â He nearly breathes out fire, hands planting at Quinnâs shoulders, âI promise you, you can tell me what happened! I will never judge you, my darling. No matter what it is!â
But..he thought he already told him what happened technically? He and his date had a night all year around Haunted Circus. They never changed plans. Even if they did so, Quinn promised to let them know in case they needed to know location wise.
Resting his own hands on top of Asmoâs, his voice turns odd, â..We went to the Haunted Circus like I told you we would, ate ice cream, and some popcorn. Yâknow, the usual?â At his fatherâs crossed features, he adds, âWe never changed location. I wouldâve told ya if we did, pops.â
It takes a moment of silence between them. Then silk pink shoulders drop, âThatâs it?â
Quinn nods, brow still raised.
Suddenly itâs like he never panicked, never cried. His mood completely flips like a coin, all preppy and piper once again. He releases a long sigh of relief, and shines a smile.
Quinn gets pulled into a hug, arms tight around his shoulders, âThank goodness!~ I was working up an icky sweat there for a second! Iâm glad you had a good time, baby!â He pulls back for a second, eyes flashing in gold mixed with high pinks, âRight?~â
For the sake of everyone, including himself, Quinn just nods. Only for his deadpan face to turn into a soft smirk when getting yanked into a new hug.
Eyes roll with no real meaning as he circles his arms right back, patting his Dadâs upper back. âPops.â
âHm?â Asmo hums into his shoulder, fiddling with his jacket.
âTheyâre ace.â
His body stills, waiting a beat or two, then relaxes, âOh.â
Quinn canât help his chuckle, squeezing Asmo once, âIâm good. Promise.â
Asmodeus sighs again, this time itâs heavy and as if heâs just released all his worries at once, âI knowâŚI just-â His body sags, leaning tighter on Quinn.
âI know, pops. I know.â
âI love you.â He whispers. Part of him hasnât a clue why. Another definitely does.
Quinn copies, grinning into his shoulder, âI love you too, Dad.â
Beelzebub-------
Sheâs so tiny.
Is tiny ok?
He expected her to be big, considered at least a bit above average for humans. Not only for her demon blood, but for his, the fatherâs, size. He gets compared to Diavolo himself a lot, and even without those teases, he knows heâs a big guy.
YetâŚ
She came out so little.
6 pounds, 8.5 ounces. MC said thatâs considered a little below average.
Fingers, so frail and so gentle, touch the hand that hovers near her.
Beel gulps, glancing to his side. Belphie leans on his cow pillow, watching the interaction with a soft look, lidded eyes. The same colored eyes match in gaze.
He decided to stick to Beel as MC rested, planting himself down and staying silent besides small sighs of usual sleepiness here and there.
Itâs like he could tell his nerves spiked up at the single thought of being alone with the newborn. Like he couldnât trust himself enough, silently hoping for MC or Belphie, or any of his other brothers who were hanging out in the room next over.
âYouâre fine.â Belphie mutters. His hand lays by his coddling arm.
âSheâs small.â Beel whispers. The shock hasnât made an inch of moving yet.
âI know,â His lip quirks, âIronic, huh?â
âShe might have my eating habits.â
A snort comes at the word âhabitsâ before Belphie starts silently chuckling, not wanting to wake the sleepy girl. âThe only thing Lucifer might hate.â
âShe can stay tiny.â
âMaybe, some of them human kids do turn chunky quick.â
âShe might be more human.â
The thought came to mind more after she was born. Before, it was different, if was like âOh, sheâs going to have human bloodâ and that was it.
No, now . Â Now itâs different.
Now it hit- stabbed- slapped him square in the face, just as much as her squishy image did when she was passed over to him so gently-like. All bundled up, curled in a small, whimpering ball of proof of his love for MC. A love that has taken hold of him and molded, no, extended vastly over the same little baby in his arms.
Heâs not a poet by any means. Sure, he acknowledges his soft persona towards his loved ones, but never been a poet or writer. But, he could have sworn the moment reminded him so much of those books Satan or Lucifer have read aloud sometimes.
It stunned him just as much as it scared him.
âYeah.â His twin offers up a shrug, leaning back, âThatâs what happens when a human and demon have a kid.â
âSheâll be more vulnerable.â Beel feels a frown come on, staring down at the swaddled infant. Heâs seen the other side of vulnerability. Itâs scary, suffocating, you feel as if you canât escape from its clutches no matter how hard you try. Itâs even worse if a monster is the oneâŚ
He swallows, facing morphing into a faint grimace, if a monster is the one eating you.
Second nature takes over, Belphieâs hand swaying up to touch his blanketed arm. âBeel.â
The ginger doesnât move his head an inch, but his eyes glance back up. Belphieâs soft look is gone, but it lingers, only just barely. His brother needs to understand.
âSheâs not going to get hurt.â Belphieâs finger lifts, pointing at a sleeping MC, âFor one, sheâs got a kick-ass parent 1 over there, whoâs been through hell and back with us, literally, to the point that people would have to kill them to get to her. And even then, gotta deal with their return.â And with a grin like heâs used to this joke by now, âI should know, honestly.â
Before Beel can lecture him, Belphie side swipes his comment and continues, waving a hand to the door, â 2nd, sheâs got a whole squad of demon family members whoâd stop at nothing to keep her safe, myself included.â
Beel watches his direction turn to him; he damps down the urge to squeeze his arms barely a centimeter, â3rd, sheâs not only got more demons- including the King himself and his lame-ass butler, but a magical weirdo human, an angel and his dog. Plus-â Belphie smirks, a mix between soft and smug, as he waves towards Beel,
âSheâs got one of the most soft-hearted, yet most unyieldingly protective Dad in all three realms, whoâd I know already will succeed anytime someone so much as dares to breathe wrong in her direction.â With that, he crosses his arms and flops back in the chair. âSheâs going to be fine, Beel. Everyone knows it, including you .â
Beel stares at him a second, processing everything. Thoughts swirl in his head, many wanting to disagree with Belphie, new ones ready to snap at those, and others that keep going back and forth between both groups.
Belphie doesnât comment on his face, but Beel soon notices the eye widening and lip quirking.
Heâs staring at his Frankie.
As soon as he joins, he gets why he canât stop.
Sheâs looking up at him. Fingers gracing the pink and white blanket edge, gripping just a little in small fists before letting go; her mouth stays slightly open, as if vaguely gaping at the giant infront of her. Her hints of ginger hair peek through the blanket as she tilts her head faintly.
But the thing that has both twins stopping in their tracks,
The purple eyes. Tinged with the classical match of poppy red closer to the edge, they practically beam up, focused solely on him. For eons, the only other person the twinâs have known to have those eyes were each other. It was just about the only thing they had in common beside their brotherly love for each other and the people around them. Everything else had been different one way or another, from colors, to activities, to hobbies, to who they were as people.
Now someone else shared their eyes.
Beel feels his throat tighten for once. MC had been able to make him feel full for the first time when they met, a feeling that could barely ever change even if Beel himself tried to make it so. It seems that has extended too.
They hardly change effect as she suddenly grins, all gummy and squishy cheeks.
When her hand flies up, reaching for him, a shaky hand covers it.
He will protect her , Belphieâs hand pats his shoulder, a half chuckle/half covered sniffle meeting his ears, he promises.
Belphegor--------
âPapaâ Patting at his cheek. More patting joins at his arm.
âPopi!â A whine at his right, echos that is the growl of, âPapa!â at his left.
Belphegor mutters a curse in the blessed Devildom tongue, shifting and flopping into a comfortable position. Away from his kids.
Behind him is a huff, Ryder hissing out, âPapa!â
âPapa is sleeping.â Waves off Belphie, tucking his arm back under his classic cow pillow. Too hyper for him. If the two didnât look like him, both having a relatively noticeable amount of faded indigo hair, heâd think theyâd be Mammonâs kids instead.
The noise dies down for a limited moment or two before two small bodies find themselves on him, one tugging at his arm while the other trying to annoy him by being as limp as possible.
âPaaaa!â River whines. Belphieâs eye twitches. His tail lifts, and goes on pushing at them. Shoo shoo. A drastically tinier tail swats back at it. Probably Ryder, he tends to keep his tail out more.
âWhaaaaat?â Belphie mocks dramatically in return.
Ryder, able to get the tail back enough, âWe have a question!â the tail flicks and bops forward, Â meeting his face. Sputtering, he fights it back, growling about âweirdo dadâ. A smirk crawls on Belphieâs face. Ryder wacks the limb away again, glaring at his annoyance of a dad the whole time.
âWhat.â
Itâs only now they pause in their annoying ways. The twins have a moment of looking at each other, sharing a silent conversation. Ryder looks insistent, small brows down in a frown. At the same time, River doesnât glance around, but tilts their head with a pouty lip.
Belphieâs ready to close his eyes and sleep again. A hand pats his face. âPapaâ
Lifting his hand, he covers their face right back. âRiver.â
Ryder does the talking, â How are babies made?â
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
His blankets dip further down as he rolls away, covering the back of his head with the giant pillow heâs always dragged around with him for major eons. âGo ask Mammon.â
Ryderâs huff flips with crossed arms, â He said to ask you.â
âYeah!â Riverâs tail swishes as he relaxes on the bed, belly flop style.
âGo ask Lucifer then.â
âHeâs out with Uncle Diavolo.â
âKing Diavolo!â Corrects River. But Ryderâs only response is, âShut up.â
Belphie lifts the pillow for one second, flapping his tail at Ryder, âDonât tell your brother to shut up.â A second later, heâs turning to River, âBut donât call him that.â
Again, with the small pout, but they sigh and nod. Although, itâs plainly clear itâs as reluctant as his morning schedule.
They seriously need to stop hanging so much with Lucifer. Loves his older brother, seriously, but he doesnât need at least one of his kids mimicking him now.
Itâs like a nightmare come true.
âSatan.â
âHe started going on a lecture that we were too young to hear about it but-â
âRyder asked him if that made him Luciferâs kid.â Belphie snorts at Riverâs pointed finger. Ryder smacks it down without looking at him.
âWe were kicked out of his room.â
Belphieâs face says it all. Heâs amused. Not surprised. Maybe a tad impressed with their unconcerned attitudes about it. His kids are just as mischievous as him, quote unquote from MC themselves.
Poor Satan though, his co-CEO of Anti-Lucifer club.
Such shame.
Anyway-
âAsmode-â Belphie actually gives a good brain cell a turn there, then backtracks, shaking his head. Horror fills his mind at what Asmo could say, âActually, donât ever ask Asmodeus. I will catch you both if you do.â
His oldest twin scrunches his nose, the younger one sticks out his tongue and mocks a gag, âYou think weâre stupid?â Ryder gapes.
âYou think?â River echoes.
âHow about Beel?â As weird as it is, Beel might know how to explain it the right way. And to kids nonetheless? Hell, heâd probably use the most oddly âchild friendlyâ way of explaining âitâ to a child.
âOut with Momma/Dad.â Both this time. River plays pattycake with the bed, patting his hands in a rhythmic motion.
Damn it. That means MC is off the list too. Ughhhhhh.
His head flies back under the pillow, âThen no.â
Thereâs a short growl before sudden weight falls on him. He groans, huffing into his pillow while River giggles out a call of their brotherâs name then joins in at Belphieâs side.
âTell us!â A proud demand from the hybrid on his back. Hands gripped into his hoodie, tugging and yanking with all his might. Belphieâs body did shift slightly, not enough however. âYou donât wanna know, kid.â
River half growls, âYes we do!â
âNah, kid. Seriously-â The two lock eyes. Their dad looks almost entirely serious for once. âYou donât.â There's been a handful of times their dad has looked serious, and for him to look close to it. Theyâre inclined to believe him.
They turn, opening their mouth to stop Ryder when he stumbles, somehow on someoneâs back, and starts falling. A yelp escapes his lips, sliding as quick as lightning off their dadâs back and off the side of the bed.
Now the bed isnât big. Heâd probably get the most, a biggish bruise if he fell too hard.
Still, Belphieâs tail flies out, grabbing his son by the waist, and yanking him back to safety, back to him. Flipping back on his side, gently pushing River away a fair amount, he opens his arms and lets his tail drop the kid like an old fashioned airdrop.
Ryder would grunt at impact, if he wasnât already swaddled by an unexpected hug by Belphie.
Wait,
 did I say hug?Â
I meant trap.
 The arms around him are tough to beat, caging him in like a rat in a snake coil. As he squirms and snarls, desperate to get free, Belphieâs head plays with his hair, âOh my sweet son. Oh my sweet boy.â
âDAAD!!â Â
âSOOOO soso beautiful!â
âIâM A BOY!â
âYou saying a boy canât be beautiful?â He tsks, âAsmodeus is gonna be heartbroken.â
At first, River is laughing, been giggling at the sight since they saw Ryder safe. When eyes turn on them however, theyâre immediately bolting.
Again the tail. Again the kid falling.
The twins are as different as the ying yang symbol. One is fighting for freedom, growling and hissing kiddie curses at Belphie; the other is giggling away and acting like theyâre the same, but theyâre really just snuggling in deeper and clutching onto Belphieâs left arm.
Noisy kids. Â
Belphie smirks as he lets out another tease, furthering Ryderâs temper, his kids.
Heres the kids if people are interested- I will post more about them soon, so look out!

.ËâŚâĄ Outta The CloudsâŚ.¡ŕ ËââŚË.
While hanging out with Gwen, you notice a slight change in her mood, so you try to cheer her up. She ends up confessing her feelings for you
đˇ Gwen Stacy x Spider!Reader đˇ
a/n: I got this idea when I discovered this song(title) and it was just so cute I had to write it! Reader's gender neutral, this is just pure fluff. okay, I realized there's actually a bit of angst too I guess, but juuust a little bit.
Oh, and another note, english isn't my first language so I was a bit unsure about a few words and terms I used(like "stunt" and "splutter" and "peck"), so please lmk if there's anything incorrect or other words that would fit better! Thank you :)
The sun was starting to hide behind the tall buildings of New York, turning the sky pink and lilac, and you and Gwen had been swinging through your city for a while now. She'd been helping you keep an eye out for any criminals or civilians who needed help, but mostly, she was just distracting you with her jokes and new "spider-stunts" she had learned. Not that you minded, though - neither of your spider-senses had warned you of any danger, so you had time to watch her and giggle at her little performances(clearly an attempt to catch your attention and impress you, but neither of you would admit it out loud). And to be honest, how could you mind it, when she was just so pretty and charming when showing off her new tricks, and how her experience as a dancer gave her a certain gracefulness, especially when she would land on some random roof? Safe to say, she had your attention all for herself.
Eventually, you two took a break, finding a nice spot on a tall building, sitting on the ledge to catch your breath and enjoy the view. Taking off your masks, you share a glace that makes both of you let out a chuckle. You return your attention to the setting sun, admiring its beauty. For a few moments, the two of you sit in silence, seeming peaceful and relaxed as you appreciated the scenery in front of you. Until you realize a slight change in Gwen's expression - head low, eyes focused on her hands, the corners of her lips almost curling down. You cross your legs, shifting slightly closer to her, your eyes sofly scanning her face.
"What's bothering you, pretty girl?" Your head tilts to the side as you offer her a gentle smile, earning from her a small chuckle. She looks at you for a moment, then turns her gaze back to her hands, fiddling with the fabric of her mask.
"Just... thinking about my dad," She responds quietly, letting out a sigh. You knew about what she was going through, and every time you were reminded of it, your heart would sink in your chest. Her words made you want to wrap your arms tightly around her and never let go, to protect her from everything else in the world, to create the most peaceful and safe world inside yourself just for her to live in. But instead, you simply placed your hand over hers, slowing down her nervous movements, making her turn her head to look at you.
You didn't really know what to do about it. If you could, you would solve all of her problems with a magic wand just so you could see her truly happy again. You'd do anything for her. But right now, the best you could do was cheer her up, get her mind off of her troubles and remind her that she was loved by many other people - but mostly, by you.
You reached for your phone, looking for a specific song from your playlist. "Y'know, I'm a firm believer that some songs offer more comfort than normal words can," You tell her, one hand still holding hers as the other holds your phone, your eyes fixed on it. When you find it, you put it on, turning up the volume and placing your phone in the small gap between you two, giving her a sweet, reassuring smile.
As the song starts, you start to sway your head and body to the rythm, the soft and uplifting energy taking over you. Occasionally, you'd sing along to some of the lyrics, either some "message" you wanted to emphasize, since you couldn't word them exactly yourself, or just some verse you had memorized. You took her hand, causing her to sway with you, earning a subtle chuckle from her as she shook her head, amused by your cheerful energy.
The way you smiled and sang along to the song got her stuck in a trance, unable to take her eyes off of you. It even brought a soft smile to her face. She was mesmerized by the way you moved so freely, and how careless and relaxed you seemed to be, even though she was watching. Truth is, sometimes your heart would skip a beat when you noticed her gaze on you, or you'd feel your cheeks heating up. But you tried to brush it off, because your goal was to lighten up her mood, and by the way her smile was growing wider, and how you'd occasionally hear a laugh from her, it seemed you were succeeding. So you kept swaying, occasionally using your intertwined hands as a fake microphone, looking at her while your singing mixed with giggles.
When the song ended, you exchanged a glance, causing you both to laugh. It warmed your heart to see her like that, genuine laughter escaping from her lips as she shut her eyes closed, shaking her head again. When both of you were able to quiet your laughter, your eyes met again, and time seemed to slow down as you observed how the golden light from the sunset illuminated her face. For a quick moment, that seemed to last longer than it did, you noticed the softness of her features, the color of her eyes, her freckles... You ended up forgetting that she was looking at you too.
"Can I tell you something?" She said, finally breaking the silence, snapping you out of your own trance. Her tone was soft and gentle, so you didn't notice the hesitance in her voice, and you couldn't tell how fast her heart was beating when she finally got the courage to speak. You nod, with your attention focused on her and not on the butterflies that seemed to appear in your stomach. "I feel like there's a sun inside my heart... whenever I'm with you."
Her words make your heart skip a beat, taken by surprise. You let out a nervous chuckle, averting her gaze for a moment as you try to soothe your own quick heartbeats, and failing at that. You bring one of your knees up, close to your chest, and rest your head on top of it, taking a deep breath as you look at her. "Does it feel like it's burning?" You joke, trying to cope with your nervousness. But you could feel your cheeks burning, and it wasn't from the warm sunlight that hit your skin.
She shakes her head, chuckling. "Feels more like a blanket," she tells you, and you could swear the way her eyes reflect the setting sun is the prettiest thing you've ever seen. "You make me comfortable," she adds, "and I find myself looking for any opportunity to spend time with you, because you're so bright and sweet, that I just want to..." she doesn't finish her sentence, letting out a sigh as she seems to think about her next words.
Your eyes are fixed on her, studying carefully her expression, and waiting expectantly for her to speak again. You could tell where this was going, and the sensation of butterflies kept growing, making you eager to hear what she would say next. The whole world seemed to fade away in this moment, the girl beside you seemed more interesting and beautiful than anything else.
"I want to be with you, like, all the time," she finally declared, chuckling nervously while turning her gaze to you, looking for your reaction as she tried to figure out what you were feeling or thinking. "I hope you get what I mean, I'm not really sure how to put this into words," she spluttered, unsure about your feelings for her.
"Mm-hm," you nod with a subtle smile, unable to form a coherent sentence with your heart pounding in your chest and your mind emptying with each second that you stare at her. Everything around you seemed to melt like ice-cream, and so did your heart.
She turns her head to face you, your eyes meeting again, and at this point, you can't ignore your butterflies anymore. With a bit of hesitancy, she slowly leans closer to you, moving her gaze from your eyes to your lips as she waited for a hint of your consent. When you finally leaned closer, mirroring her, she connected your lips and hers. She brought her hand to your cheek as she gave you another peck on your lips, gently holding your face. You weren't sure if this moment lasted forever or just a second, but you were simply glad for experiencing it.
The both of you slightly pull away, breaking the kiss with a soft smile on your faces, but you keep your eyes closed for a second longer. When your eyes meet again, you let out a giggle, appreciating the moment - and grateful for her confession. You shift your body closer to hers, laying your head on her shoulder to watch the almost hidden sun. You could still feel the warmth on your cheeks when she placed a gentle kiss on the top of your head before resting her head on yours, breaths slowing down and matching your rhythm.
Maybe, just maybe, everything would be okay. For now, it certainly was, because she could feel you right next to her, and that was enough to spark some hope in her heart.

Just saw your pinned post and I am begging you I need more. I am a sucker for magical warrior (my gender neutral term for magical girl) AU's. And seeing as the warriors will be hotguy and cuteguy is making me just Squeal with excitement/joy. Now for some questions.
1) Are Grian and Scar's Warrior names actually cuteguy and hotguy because that would be awesome.
2) Can I expect the stereotypical, hotguy, and cuteguy looks for their magical armor/outfit
3) What are their weapons and magical abilities (exa. Can grian summon wings to fly. Is Scars weapon a boy and dose he get unlimited arrows.
4) You know, those like mini bosses. The ones who are in charge of collecting bad energy or whatever in magical warrior shows the. ones who make the things the warriors fight. Is Pearl and those other two whom I don't remember the name of going to become such people.
im glad people like it! that makes me very happy :D I have a google doc with the story planned out, hopefully I can get around to finishing it. here are your answers :
I haven't thought abt giving them magical names, but scar does scream hotguy when he shoots his bow (like a fancy finisher move)
since I cant stick to one design, I am considering a new design per chapter sort of deal. most likely each design will be a ref to something else
my current idea is that their powers change along with their outfits, but the one constant is scar has long range weapons and grian has short range weapons (an excuse to potentially give scar a gun and grian boxing gloves, I just think thats funny)
just pearl is spreading the corruption (muahahhahaha), everyone else around her is too head empty to realize something is up with her not-a-dog

Everyone, I have done it.
So, the post about Yugo and queerness in Wakfu is a 3 parter due to my use and abuse of pictures. You'll be able to enjoy part 2 here, and dw I'll add one at the bottom too
First, I would like to preface this by saying that, while I do believe they didnât create or write Yugo with the idea making him queer in mind, I do not think the creators made things unintentionally either. What I think they actually wanted to do with Yugo, was to have a character that felt as gender neutral as possible, in order to make him relatable to the show's originally young audience, without alienating girls or boys. A character not leaning too much one way or the other.
But as such Yugo is a character that can be read within a queer lens without that much of an effort. I know a lot of people on this site hc him as on the aro and/or ace spectrum, some degree of nonbinary and in my specific case as genderfluid bi/pan, and I'm even considering possibly intersex.
Wakfu also happens to be the kind of show that, whether intentionally or not, just finds itself to have a ton and a half of queerness in it: from simple implications to actually out queer characters, the world depicted in the show is a diverse one, in that sense and more.
Thatâs why I genuinely think that it's not just random readings that come from fandom's typical queering goggles, I think there are elements in the show that do help these readings, precise elements as well as elements that need a little more digging.
So here's what this post aims to do: to find those elements and compile them in as clear a way as possible. Please do take into account that I am very easily prone to reaching so if you don't see it, that's totally fine, and I may end up structuring things in very chaotic ways, but I am doing my best.
I decided to separate my writing between the gender elements and the sexuality elements, with a listing format. One element, one dash. Since I am french and donât know much about the english translation, Iâll be illustrating everything using screenshots as reminders, and will be adding some small notes and quotes translated by myself when needed. Well then, let's get started!
The gender category, or as I'd like to call it "this could have been an email- but make it about a trans character":
Yugo's name: first, this one is 100% due to a fic I read that made me reflect on a very interesting fact: in s1ep1, when Alibert finds Grougal's message, Yugo's name is never mentioned.
During that scene, heâs only called âthis childâ and âthat small oneâ
What that means, given that Yugo's name has been "Yugo" since previous lives, is that either Alibert somehow picked the right name on first try, or, more logically, that he didn't. That Yugo got called another name for some years, until he got old enough to correct them.
And you would think the argument stops there, but in s2ep12, a character gets openly deadnamed and mocked for it by literally everyone, saying "his real name isâŚ". There is one exception to this,
Yugo, who never mocks him and says "Itâs not because your parents named you⌠", which is a very interesting nuance in phrasing. It implies that, while to others the name their parents chose is a "real" name, an immovable fact of life, to Yugo it is a choice made by others for them, that can be wrong, that can be changed.
Yugo's relationship with femininity (and masculinity): Have you ever noticed that the Brotherhood of the Tofu very frequently separate themselves with gendered terms? Youâll often hear Tristepin and Ruel call Amalia and Eva âthe girlsâ and Eva and Amalia call them plus Yugo âthe boysâ. Prior to the OVAs Yugo only does so in one episode, s2ep21, the one episode where he's magically seduced into being aggressive towards "the girls".
âYou are so strong and smart, right guys?â
âIf you arenât happy you can go with the girls!â
Prior to this, Yugo never really plays into gender roles, and after it will be mainly due to his aging process, which we will discuss.
Yugo seems to treat socially gendered activities as if they werenât, I believe it is also noticeable with his relationship to heroism, though that one can only be inferred in contrast to Tristepin's former very strict hero/princess binary viewpoint.
(Here I would have put an exception about the OVA and him admitting he always wanted to save a princess, but given that in the most recent manga the term is used as a pet name for him I guess Iâll let that one slide)
During s1ep4, Yugo crossdresses and not only is he comfortable with that fact, not only is he the one who came up with the idea (although Amalia gave him an unconscious push), he is thriving in it.
Look at the joy on his face upon putting a bow on.
I feel the need to remind everyone Yugo is 12 during s1, an age at which young boys are definitely aware of a gender divide and typically reject girly stuff like the pest.
Back to the Boufbowl episode once more, in s1ep10, you may have noticed Ruel calling being a cheerleader âbeing the girlsâ, and while Yugo may be on the bench as a substitute, he does participate in cheerleading right in the next episode.
Two three very motivated children and their unconvinced chaperone.
Actually he is the only character in the Brotherhood of the Tofu to be a cheerleader during both Boufbowl arcs.
His outfits are also not strongly gendered, especially compared to Tristepin's chest-out s2 design or Eva and Amalia's early short skirts, his most gendered character design might be his adult-form one, and even then, when compared to Nora's, youâll notice Yugo is only ever wearing the same thing as her with added details (royal details?) and his own color palette. My take is heâs actually meant to look like the Eliatrope goddess, with his cape reproducing her hair.
S4 teaser Yugo because we donât have a clean pic of his s4 design, and I did my best for Nora.
Yugo's aging process as a metaphor for transness: as we all know, from the OVAs until the last quarter of s4, Yugo is a young adult trapped within a child's body. He gets mocked and infantilized on the regular, his status as king belittled. The only thing that he maintains some form of respect for is his status as a hero. And you can tell it is weighing him down. For one, this body is an obstacle to his relationship with Amalia, not just due to the eyes of others,
"I grow slowly whereas she, she became a queen, a woman...", with the implication "and I'm not a manâ or âI don't pass as one"
but also due to his own degrading self-perception.
âLetâs see whoâs small!â
(notice how easily he gets tickled by a simple comment on his size, how the mere notion of his body being revealed becomes reason enough for violence in s3ep7).
Yugo gets angry and violent, a lot, and more than is typically expected of him.
âI tried thinking like Yugo, Iâm sure he would have preferred this to the hit-you-in-the-face method.â
âDear little brother, I donât know what happened to you these last few years, but I donât recognize you anymore!â
A result of trauma, sure, but if you're like me you may have noticed how turning into an adult made him feel very⌠relaxed, suddenly. In a way that can be compared to the disappearance of symptoms of body dysphoria with people who go through a process of gender-affirming transition.
As an aside, his s3 design really makes him look like he's wearing a binder, in addition to the turtleneck that would hide the absence of an Adam's apple, the look is very transmasc.
That one particular art of him is what really marked me, because of the slight shade under the chest. Doesnât mean it is a binder, just means it could look like one.
Yugo's Eliatrope hat as a metaphor: There may not seem like there is much to say, but the fact is that this hat was very mysterious for a very long time. If you were part of the fandom before the s2 finale you may have been theorizing on a forum about what was going on behind that hat (I was on the "a second pair of ears but these are shaped like cat ears" team, but still slightly unconvinced), and you knew that there wasn't anyone more curious about this than Nox.
âWe may finally get to find out what you hide under your hat.
-Even my friends never forced me to tell them!â
was a very iconic line, one that definitely could remind people of the infamous "what's in your pants" question.
Well the Brotherhood was curious as well, but mostly respectful and patient with their friend.
It was clear that there was discomfort with that part of him that he refused to reveal, so much so that he probably never washed with any of his friends. When they would hang around for days, when the girls wouldn't care between each other (and neither would Eva and Pinpin between each other, wink wink), when they would all sleep together, Yugo probably would still never take it off in front of them.
Overall my point is just that inthe rare times the hat gets discussed, it just doesn't sound cis.
the Eliotropes: they're coming back in the sexuality section, dw.
But, as Yugo himself says, they are "versions" of himself. The interesting question now is "in which way?" Since they are not "past versions" of him, and since they seem to "inherit" some of his personality/physical traits, I do believe them to be an expression of his own fragmented sense of self. Some of them may be men, as a reflection of his own perception of himself as one, but then some may be women for that same reason, and well some are women, some even are canonically enby.
Character on the far left is enby and character on the far right is a woman. Obviously Echo is not an Eliotrope.
One could even go as far as considering these traits can physically express themselves only because Yugo's anatomy reflects them, and in that case we can go into not just a gender reading, but into an intersex one. Pushing further into it, Yugo, being their creator, effectively gave birth to them, and as such they call him father, but the act of giving birth itself is typically associated with the feminine, sowe could argue that Yugoâs position is both one of father and of mother.
Of course they also have physical and mental aspects that are separate from Yugo, like none of the ones we met are the same sandy blonde as Yugo is for example, but the ambiguity of the existence of the Eliotropes is and will always be a matter of "where does Yugo end and where do they begin?".
A little question mark for the road: In OVA2, as a joke, Rubilax ârevealsâ that Tristepin was actually a woman all along. This is a sample of everyoneâs reaction:
1st, Amalia is so bi itâs insane, but thatâs not my point here. Yugoâs reaction being of absolute shock, even more so than Tristepin himself always had me wondering what was going on in his head. Through a queer lens it remains just as hard to read through, so my personal take is that Yugo is amazed at how male-âpassingâ Pinpin is, so much so he may think âYou mean to tell me I knew that guy for years and never realized he was trans too?!â I donât know, Iâd love to get some feedback on that one.
That first section was 2 pages-long without the pictures, so letâs take a tiny break and enjoy some Yugo cuteness as a breather.
Just the cutest. He doesnât even need to try.
part 2
