Not sure if this has been asked. But I remember you saying that FFS Arden could easily thrash FFS Gwyn pretty easily. In an UTB like-universe would you see Arden as a Peak Alpha as well so they could still have that same dynamic, or something else?
(I think my brain is in a thousand directions with those two right now. Loving the anticipation of their conflict in Constellations and still stuck with my Fae canon vision of Gwyn as this ultimate-warrior-of-unmatched-awesomeness-but-with-FEELINGS.)
I actually don't see Arden as a peak alpha at all, tbh. I see him as a beta who is also a dominant, and I don't really see a ton about him or his lifestyle changing!
I think part of that is that I don't think I could preserve his easygoing, friendly and compassionate personality in quite the same way if he was a peak alpha, or even an alpha, and that to me is such a vital, chosen part of who he is.
But I don't think the dynamics parallel anyway! Like, FFS Gwyn doesn't want to mount his cousin, and FFS Gary doesn't want to fuck Efnisien, so like... I don't really see UtB Gwyn and UtB Arden as having any kind of similar relationship either.
In fact I don't actually think Arden is in this universe at all. Like, I can kind of imagine a version of him existing in it, but I'm not writing the story as though he exists in it! To me Arden is just not in the Underline universe, in the same way that Eran as a viable partner isn't really in the Smoke in Autumn stories and Gwyn isn't present in Strange Sights.
Sometimes to make certain pairings work I have to 'you don't exist' to another character, lmao.
But yeah in Underline the Black I'm really not looking to preserve most of the dynamics that exist re: Efnisien and the people around him! I think part of that is that I'm several years on from thinking about Gwyn as much as I used to? So outside of The Nascent Diplomat and Constellations, Gwyn is not in my thoughts quite in the way he used to be (that's the break that I needed all along, tbh, so I didn't end up developing a strained connection to him as a character).
I think it's really amazing that other people enjoy and love thinking about him! Like, that's both humbling, and also like, I'm just glad on Gwyn's behalf in a weird way that his energy is still being really loved and looked after. But I've been trying hard to make room for new characters and new dynamics for a few years now, which means that I am really not seeking to replicate a lot of dynamics anymore, because I've written like 2.5 million words of those dynamics, and need a bit of a break!
(I love Arden, I just really didn't want to put him in a dystopia, which was like a weird personal choice of like 'no Arden deserves to not be here, especially if he's not going to get someone he loves out of it' dsalfkjasd)

“A Two-Way Street” liveblog!
So at the time of writing this, I’ve just finished episode 7. I have absolutely no clue what the finale will hold, but the episode summary says something about Number Two’s past? Name drop perhaps??? I guess we’ll see. This really seems like it’s all coming out of nowhere lol.
For the last time this season- and potentially in general if we don’t get renewed- spoilers under the cut!
0:52 I’m like fully expecting them to pan over to Mr B at some point and to see him totally vacant
1:03 Yeah Milligan, come on, turn at the damn hand tree 😂
1:13 “Sorry. I’m having feelings.” you and me both babe
1:41 the house is fully yellow
1:52 “Mother! :D” READ THE ROOM
1:59 …..why would you just stop at “Number”
2:05 oh come on don’t tell me she was actually named Number. Like her legal name is Number? Didn’t they explain in season 1 that was her codename that she adopted for pool or something?
2:17 “my sister, Charity-” WHY DID THEY HAVE TO GIVE MY NAME TO A CHARACTER THAT IS GENERALLY DISLIKED ADKFHKASHF LMAOOOO
2:25 okay the fact that her axe is named Madame Chops and she demands on it being formally introduced makes it a little better 😂
2:32 so what the boy is Number One and she’s Number Two? Did they just write out the whole Pencilla thing???
2:56 both of them are so desperate to have control
2:59 “I have authority as interim director to-” “self-appointed.” “not official.” LMAO BOTH OF THEM ARE SO DESPERATE TO HAVE CONTROL
3:19 they’re just leaving him in the truck by himself when the duskwort has probably already worn off???? They were driving all night ffs
3:26 “you should be very proud of Number Two. she is one of the finest human beings I’ve ever known.” I said this with Milligan last ep- I get that he’s mentally compromised but I genuinely think he would have said that even if he wasn't and that makes me FEEL THINGS
3:31 “it’s a relief to hear that my sister has finally sustained some friendships” I’ll drop kick you
3:33 “I was being sincere!” doubtful
3:42 so what I’m hearing is that One was the favorite child and Number Two had to fight for attention
3:58 “so.. This is family life?” “looks like it.” there’s something morbidly hilarious to me about three kids who raised themselves looking at a nuclear family and being confused
4:42 “I am gaining so much understanding.” it does give some perspective on why number two is Like That
5:11 “oh, don't do this on my account! … I feel amazing.” I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again this whole thing reminds me of a manic episode
6:00 I’m glad she’s talking this through with him
6:40 it’s weird seeing them both in the frame and knowing they’re both tony hale
7:10 “you’re in denial.” someone had to say it
7:43 I don’t see how he could know that, logically
7:54 “what’s that?” “what?” “your neck, what’s wrong?” oop he knows
8:05 and there it is, he’s vacant
8:26 it makes me very sad that this might be the last time we hear this intro in a new episode
9:51 this very much seems like the “handful of almonds” kind of mother, and an unsavory atmosphere to grow up in
10:02 “it would have been nice to hear from you.” “you never pick up the phone!” “I find it a nuisance!” this conversation reminds me of my own mother and that is not good 😅
10:24 “I thought it might play better with your weird swinging pattern.” the backhandedness is not necessary
10:29 “and by the way, I sent letters. You could have written back.” “I'm not about to sleuth out my own daughter’s address!” “it’s right there on the envelope.'' Again, this reminds me SO much of my own mother. Not good
11:48 “One, do you find this lifestyle… stifling?” “No!” couple of things:
1. Don’t love that she’s trying to turn the siblings against each other. Super not cool, and, say it with me now, it reminds me of my mother. Not good
2. Different people have different needs and tastes. Number two said it herself, not everyone is happy to stay where they are
3. Does this whole family situation remind anyone else of breaking Amish? Like the whole thing of letting Amish people leave for a bit to see the world but shaming them for it at the same time? Because that's the vibe I’m getting
12:10 that shot of the house really highlights how many times they’ve added on to it. There are like 4 separate color schemes
Tumblr media
12:25 I think the theme of this season is this guy being in denial. Like just in general
13:09 smart of Milligan to lure her inside but at the same time why would they let her go there unsupervised, she could easily get distracted by something or just go somewhere else on a whim
13:35 I stand corrected
13:51 “you were right. This is about control, it always has been” no shit
14:10 very sweet of him to say but that came VERY late
14:14 “oh, I wish we couldve gotten here sooner” PFFFT tell me he didnt just fake that. Curtain would be SO pissed
14:31 “you were faking it?” okay but that also means it’s still coming and they don’t know how to stop it
15:09 “what’s that?” Reynie you know I love you but you’re expecting to be raided. If you see a car, it’s probably them
15:16 INCREDIBLE song choice btw
15:24 I love that they brought the saw back 😂
16:03 why would they wait until the driver can see them pull the trap across the road, that’s dangerous for Miss Perumal and obvious for the driver to avoid
16:21 oh shit did it actually
16:22 “a fact I chose to hide” sneaky. But also wtf was all that build up for last episode? Was he rubbing his neck in the truck for nothing? And the whole faking the catatonia thing feels icky, that scene was incredibly sweet without the context that he was faking it
16:28 “but it changes nothing” dude. DUDE.
16:38 “what you felt a moment ago, that was real. More real than anything you could create.” that’s a big theme of the season, the genuine versus the synthetic
17:10 that shift in tone was unsettling- the music subtly changing plus nathaniel physically moving out of the moment
17:24 are those the people from the other two cars? Where did they get the extra greys from, there were maybe 4 people in each but that is way more than that running through the fields
17:56 “it’s a two-way street!” ….roll credits
18:03 “back off! This is my home.” okay but it isn't though, home is where you belong and you obviously didn’t feel comfortable staying here. It’s where you came from, sure, but not where you’ve settled down to roost. There’s a difference
18:23 so are they like, pulling that book 3 plot of Curtain controlling how things end? Like is that what’s happening? Are we just not going to have any action here after all that build up
18:41 “he helped me see that I've been possibly approaching things in the wrong way.” this feels like it’s coming somehow both for too early and far too late in the narrative
18:45 “and if you told me i’d ever say something like that, well, I’d never say something like that, but here we are.” always eager to save face
18:50 “now. You’re free to go and find your own path.” a hippie to the end. But also you literally told them how to behave for their formative years, you can’t just turn them loose and tell them to figure it out with no guidance when all you’ve done the past however many years is boss them around with an iron fist and bloody rage
19:15 “the door is open. Please. Discover who you are.” whaaaaat
19:29 what am I watching 😂
19:38 “YOUR PHILOSOPHY WILL LIVE ON!” “EVEN WITHOUT YOU!” and just like that the cult lives another day
20:20 well that is unsettling
20:25 ….she did finish an impressive portion of the puzzle though
20:31 “im responsible for this” yeah no shit
20:48 did they just. Take markers to the wall 😂 😂
21:44 I hope this means they’re all going to write shitty poetry insulting themselves in an attempt to make her laugh
22:06 “and as the people she cares about most in this world-”
Tumblr media
22:29 this feels very similar to trying to communicate with someone who’s unresponsive in a hospital bed
22:37 “despite the relentless crabbiness, we actually all love spending time with you” awwww stopppp
Tumblr media
22:49 remember that time you broke the whisperer with your brain?” we don't remember that actually, enlighten us. Sticky 😂
23:11 “we love you.” dawwwww
23:18 “we’re not making her happy. We’re annoying her.” what’s funny is she’s probably right lol. Spoken like a true former roommate
23:41 pleeease let this lead to insulting poetry. This reminds me so much of season 1 with Reynie trying to get Curtain to laugh himself to sleep with corny jokes
23:55 so is like one blink a sign that she’s coming back online lol 
24:19 I find it hilarious that Kate is not only acknowledging her emotional dependency to her bucket but also encouraging Constance to make a dig at it. Funniest thing to come from this so far
24:20 is the twitching supposed to be a good sign orrrr
24:30 Constance is my favorite rhyming poet lol
24:48 I want to watch them dramatically recite poetry for the next hour, thank you
25:01 The enthusiasm 😂 😂 also she’s like fully short-circuiting now lol
25:13 he does love a good sweater vest
25:20 I cannot believe that worked
25:28 AWWWW SHE’S SO HAPPY SHE CAN DENY IT ALL SHE WANTS BUT LOOK AT THAT SWEET FACE
Tumblr media
25:50 “thank you for saying goodbye before abandoning us again.” idk how many times I have to say this but she reminds me of my mother and that’s really not good
25:52 “is it really abandonment if you say goodbye?” okay but the way he was immediately shut down makes me upset
26:35 they have so much unresolved tension
26:53 again, they have so much unresolved tension
27:15 leadership role how?? They’re already there dude lol
27:27 “we would love to.” “in about.. 5 weeks.” LMAO WHAT ARE THEY PLOTTING
27:39 nerd 😂 he is adorable
27:47 “let’s go see Madge.” awwww
27:53 “okay. I was a little needy.” im so glad he’s talking this through 
28:02 “I’ve got two places.”
Tumblr media
28:19 everyone load on into the truck again, definitely not a traffic violation
28:32 oh hey, 5 weeks later! We can find out what Rhonda and Number Two had planned!
28:40 VICTORYYYYY
28:42 STOP THEY’RE SO CUTE
28:45 STOOOOOP I CANT WITH THEM, CELEBRATE QUEENS
Tumblr media
28:50 I love that she has a bike helmet, I hope she casually rides a motorcycle places
29:14 HE’S VISITING STICKY AKDJFKJSHF
29:06 HE GOT LETTERS FROM EVERYONE
Tumblr media
29:16 I get that its a special effect but the lava still looks cool
29:32 a few things:
they’re too damn cute
Kate has no reason to not know what a llama is now
I hope this means they took in the llamas that were previously in the compound
29:47 “you asked for a letter. This fulfills that request.” love to see Reynie voicing his needs to his friends, and love to see Constance being herself lol
29:59 LMAO FOR ANOTHER SWEATER
30:11 tell me that’s the same puzzle
30:17 his sweater is adorable btw
30:29 “then maybe.. Maybe you can find out where I come from?” ohhh my gosh, first of all referring to her past as a puzzle?? Second of all YES BABY GIRL.
30:38 ….theyre 51? Huh?? How does that work with the timeline. I feel like it fucks with the timeline
30:51 “I’m joining the society.” weird. Weird and without base.
30:57 Is it Garrison? Or maybe a Violet cameo? Probably not that but a girl can dream. 
30:57 “turns out, we have a sister.” they’re pulling a Thor: Ragnarok on us. Or maybe a BBC Sherlock.
30:57 We have strayed so far from God.
31:15 that’s it?? They’re just going to leave it there??? You’ve got to be kidding. No way they just pulled the secret sibling card. For the SECOND TIME. and this time it’s not even canon.
~
I’m speechless. This show took a hard turn, then just kept driving that way LOL. what a way to go out… All I can say is I hope the show’s renewed, if only to see their wild ass narrative finished. 
For some quick final thoughts, I think this season is conflicting for me. TPJ is probably my favorite of the books, and at the beginning of the season I was kind of enjoying it more than season 1. Now, they’ve gone SO far off the beaten path, the story is barely recognizable. How will they continue if it does get renewed? Now, we’ve got a New Badder Bitch sister, Curtain moving in for whatever reason (WITHOUT HIS SON???? WHERE IS THIS WALKABOUT), and Constance showing interest in her past. I think this season suffered because of shorter episodes, and probably a lower budget- not to mention them going wildly off-script with the plot. I wanted to like it so much more than I did, which is sad.
Maybe the real SQ was the friends we made along the way. 
All that said, there were some really great moments, and I’m interested to see how the season holds up watching it all back to back with context.
Happy end of the season everybody!! I’m about to go on a reblogging spree for the last couple episodes, but everything should be tagged so it’ll be easy to blacklist if you need to. Let me know what you guys thought!!

ok so i gave a big long huge ramble about my GaSa4 HC turned AU over on Twitter so i'm gonna put it here because yeah gaming !!! i DO have a Player design which i never drew, and they aren't super present in the AU, but if people wanna see em maybe i'll draw em! lore basics and ART below the cut-off!!! mostly copy/pasted from my Twitter ! i'll post the art separately after for anyone who just wants to reblog specific images, without my long ass ramblings and such lmao. PLEASE ASK ME QUESTIONS THERES SO MUCH LORE FOR THIS WARNING: this AU is based around the GaSa4 bad ending!
this AU started when i realized that Kyu said she would move any extra data from Cashier somewhere else. not delete it, just, move it. ok, so what if that "extra" stuff was his name, model, dialogue, voice sound, personality, etc? what if the stuff that got moved was thrown out of the experience, and is STILL THERE? all of the memories not needed to run GaSa4, like the day shift, meeting Dummy, all still out there, and what if it congealed into THIS GUY
Tumblr media
C4SHi3R isn't very stable physically, and gets randomly thrown into Roblox experiences and then zapped back out with no way to choose where he goes or when. he eventually picked up some weapons for self defense in games with zombies and stuff. he doesn't have any memories that would be still needed for GaSa4. he knows he MET people (cough Dummy n Player cough), but doesn't know what they look like, their names, their voices, etc. gets deja vu a lot when seeing someone who looks like them or hearing their names, but tries not to think too hard about it. meanwhile back at GaSa4, Dummy (called Dxmmy for the AU) is stuck there practically alone. the game is stuck constantly looping night time to preserve data space, so FF stays asleep. she thought Cashier died, and spent a lot of time blaming himself for that.
Tumblr media
the game is stuck constantly looping night time to preserve data space, so FF stays asleep. Dxmmy thought Cashier died, and spent a lot of time blaming himself for that. they hate purple now, reminds them too much of the corrupt landscape, but besides that it loves bright colours. it's a lot nicer than the dull darkness in the void, which was mostly browns blacks and greys besides their TV. since C4SHi3R can randomly pop up in any game, that includes back at GaSa4 months later, but his added data only let him stay long enough to do that "literally with you" thing and get out, bringing Dxmmy with him, who now wears the most eyeburning outfits it can find in dress up games. there's a big something unaccounted for though. if C4SHi3R is everything that got removed from GaSa4 to make room, what about what was left behind? what's holding the GaSa4 data now? well, C4SHi3R did encounter someone else while he was briefly back at GaSa4. he met the thing that shoved him out to protect the game from being corrupt all over again, and it was kinda a little bit sorta terrifying for him AND Dxmmy
Tumblr media
it's cool though just looks scary and couldn't hold a physical form let alone dialogue text for very long without getting a MASSIVE headache, so it had to be quick with its message. after Dxmmy left, though, that gave it enough room to KINDA ALMOST hold the data for a physical body
Tumblr media
NullString's body has a lot of unfilled variables, so unless it's focusing, its limbs will change count at random, along with its height, age, and just... honestly everything. it does its best to keep it all within a manageable range, at least. it had to grieve Dxmmy leaving, and the fact that it could only give itself a reliable less-terrifying mode of communication after it didn't really need that anymore is a massive point of frustration. there are a lot more details to this all, a lot of it tied in with my kissmate's AUs and lore! feel free to ask questions, i love talking about these guys !!!

You know what I absolutely loving seeing the most as a Rufus/Cloud shipper since "Rebirth" came out? XD A LOT of people on Twitter talking about the crazy amounts of sexual tension between Rufus and Cloud in the game! And given how niche the pairing is in the fandom, I know that A LOT of those people aren't even Rufus/Cloud shippers, and even the non-shippers can see Rufus wants Cloud BAD!!! Everyone's reactions to their interactions in "Rebirth" is even better than how people reacted during their first fight back in "Remake"! Seriously, all I do is type "Rufus Cloud" on Twitter and go the latest category, and almost every fifth post has someone talking/commenting how sexually charged their Gold Saucer fight is or how badly Rufus wants to get into Cloud's pants. LMAO, I AM LIVING FOR THESE COMMENTS!!! XD XD XD Yeah, it's all fanservice and Rufus/Cloud fans are still a VERY niche part of the fandom, but it honestly makes me so happy to see people talking about them more, and some fans have commented they're starting to get into it. I am FLABBERGASTED - ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED - that Rufus/Cloud are still such a rare pairing in the fandom when everyone agreed back when "Remake" came out that these two idiots have been flirting in what was possibly that the most sexually charged fight IN THE ENTIRE GAME!!! Why these guys are still a rare pairing is beyond me! Does no one else see the juicy potential of the ship?! The super hot flirtation between them?! The snarky banter?!?! THE. SEXUAL. TENSION?!?!? I wake up every single day and thank the FFVII staff for giving us small circle of Rufus/Cloud shippers these humble breadcrumbs. I've seen waiting for YEARS since AC came out for more Rufus/Cloud content, and I ain't getting off this train any time soon. They didn't have to make Rufus *vague wild gestures* LIKE THAT to Cloud nor have Cloud give it back just as hard, BUT THEY DID, and I am so grateful for it. I cannot wait until Part 3 comes out and keeping my fingers crossed we'll see even more of Rufus/Cloud interactions. <3
Totally agree, nonnie, it makes me so happy to stumble on thirst for this ship out in the wild! Ofc, I’ve made a happy home here on tumblr with fellow rucloud lovers, but typically when I shift away from this space there’s almost no excitement or representation. Or at least that’s how it felt until recent years! I think that Cloud just suffers from being such a legacy character that there are very ingrained, ubiquitous ships that can suck the air out of the room if you’re interested in something else. It’s not unique to him or FF at all, just kind of a byproduct. I think with more exposure, the rivalry and chemistry between these two will be more and more undeniable! I can already see such a vast difference between now and 2019 with regard to quantity of content (and excitement over it), so imagine what it will be like after part 3 is in our hands! There’s so much left to do with Rufus’ story in the Remake series, and still some iconic moments when these two are together again (the Northern Crater might break me). I’m really pleased with what we’ve been given!

Dahlia. 12
Tumblr media
ao3
-HOW ARE WE FEELING ABOUT THIS CHAPTER EVERYONE
-I forgot what happens in it and my live reaction seeing the content warnings was "😃"
-Another cut part: Kai and Marcy were going to be added but I didn't know where. Also, Cass was going to be in the woods with Jaxon. For Kai and Marcy I was thinking about a mansion in the forest like in Minecraft. It was going to be a haunted house sort of thing. Elliot probably watched the haunted mansion a couple times, that's where that would've come from
I don't know if I mentioned Elliot naming one of his imaginary little guys after one of Jupiter's moons. Nerd
"Real Dylan had found him, glared at fake Dylan for a long moment, and tapped his shoulder" Dylan's jealousy arc lmao
Jaxon's here yay
That foreshadowing is ILLEGAL
Ryan and Dylan go to hell
That OTHER bit of foreshadowing is ALSO illegal
I wrote the graveyard scene with a tub of ice cream in my hand but the ice cream tub was covered up by seven paper towels because i don't like my hands to be cold. I am a homosexual
My characters might be freezing to death but at least my hands are warm :)
Dahlia AU where everything is the same but the song Lily's humming is Frozen's Let it Go
Anyways the graveyard scene was switched for a circus one that's going to be in a different chapter. Originally, the only characters that were going to appear in the dream was Leo and Jaxon. Everyone else was added last minute
By last minute I mean I wrote Lily into this one yesterday
Story time: one time I had to wait outside in 10 degree (fahrenheit) weather for the bus for 45 minutes because the school kicked me out while it was snowing and I only had a t-shirt because I wasn't expecting it to snow that day and I didn't want to move because I was so cold so I just had an armful of school supplies that kept dropping out of my fingers because I couldn't move them so i lost like all my pencils for the rest of the school year and anyways that's how I wrote the graveyard scene
"You're small," Dylan signed, hands moving quick against the wind. "Fit through the bars." DYLAN FFS
"Two points, because watching Dylan fall into the snow was funny." RYAN FFS
Writing the parts with the other kids is a little hard because I have to remember that I'm not writing them as their characters, I'm writing them as how Elliot perceives them
That said, Jaxon dying does not mean Elliot wants Jaxon to die
And I'm not even touching the thing about the Leo demon yet
There's a running theme where the characters are like "hey watch out for the horrors" and the horrors never show up and yeah. that is on purpose. there is little to no real threat going on. Only in the places where Elliot himself would feel really threatened/afraid is there something to be scared of (sam/ryan's room, the docks, the lab) while the clown in the circus is taken care of by someone else, and while the forest and graveyard are something spooky, there's lily and jaxon there to help. In the docks, the lab, and his brother's rooms, there isn't anyone to help him, and they're the only places with real evil guys
GOD i can't wait to infodump about dahlia later
---
(tw for the next section for descriptions of hanging/dead people)
FOREST- A dark wood, with dark gray grass, covered in fog and black trees. Jaxon lives here. There are nooses hanging from the branches, and a beeping heart monitor that does not stop. The bodies in the trees are unidentifiable. Level: five
AUTOPHOBIA- The fear of being alone. Takes form as the fog covering the forest, making it near-impossible to see any sort of guide. JAXON can help guide you home. Non-hostile. Level: three
NYCTOPHOBIA- The fear of the dark. Joining AUTOPHOBIA, it is not a visible demon. It makes it harder to see in the FOREST. JAXON can help guide you home. Non-hostile. Level: three
JAXON- Gray skin and gray eyes, with black hair. Wears a black jacket and gray pants, has a red string around his neck. He lives in the forest, and leads people through. Non-hostile, Jaxon's purpose is simply to help, by any means necessary. Level: three
GRAVEYARD- A never-ending cemetery covered in a thick snow. Close to the GARDEN, the CIRCUS, and the LAB. Chance of being attacked by GHOSTS. LILITH will defend you. Level: three>
LILITH- Skin paper-white, blonde hair floats in the sharp wind. Wears a white dress. In the GRAVEYARD. Warm. She will attack the ghosts, but will not attack you. Non-hostile. Level: two

Hello! Can I request an hc about a shady MC who's not phase by anything in Devildom with the brothers (and Diavolo?? he deserves love!!!)? Like, when Luci's like "i CaN KiLL yOu hUmAN", MC's reaction was like "Oh... congratulations then." i need more shady mc who may or may not be planning to ruin your life😂😂 Thanks and take care!!❤❤
The Brothers + Diavolo with an MC that is not phased by DevilDom
__________________________________
Pls I need more shady MC, they would not take any shit from the brothers. Put any Gen Z-er with these guys and you’ve got yourself a suicidal and reckless human exchange student.
They wouldn’t know what to do with one of those ahaksbakanhaka you’re right, Diavolo deserves all the love >:(((((((
You better take care too >:( thanks for sending me this big brain request. I’ve been preoccupied with other projects so I took a while to get to this ask. Hope you’re doing OK💙
____________________________________
Lucifer:
-He thought having a human exchange student was going to be bad enough as it is but this…..this was so much worse than he could have ever imagined
-The moment you arrived, he already knew you were going to be a problem child and a persistent one at that
-Literally the first thing you asked him was : “Why do you look like an off-brand Levi Ackerman?”
-And he was left there, astounded, confused and offended because he had no idea who you were talking about (cuz at that point you hadn’t met the third eldest) and the tone you had was, frankly, pissing him off
-You kept wondering off on your own????? Without looking like you gave a shit even though you almost walked into a butcher’s shop that specialises in human meat???? Tf MC?
-Also really irritated that you couldn’t be intimidated and that DevilDom was like a playground to you, for some reason? Like, MC get out of the fiery pits of eternally tormented souls- this is Hell, not the McDonald’s ball pit ffs
-Things did not improve for him lmao, by the end of the first week he had already ripped out a good chunk of his hair because of you
-“MC, you should know by now provoking demons like this for no good reason is only going to make life harder for you. Keep this up and you’ll get killed in no time because of your behaviour.”
-“Great, can we have a hip-hip and a hurray?”
-In the span of one day, he’s had to come to your rescue six times (approximately) because you’re too nonchalant about your surroundings around literal creatures of hell
-He doesn’t have enough coffee or will to live for this bs
-“Lucifer, I found this dead plant and brought it here because it reminded me of you.”
-“…..sigh. Why? Why does it remind you of me?”
-“Because it’s cold and unresponsive.”
-He made the consecutive decision to ignore you
-(low-key kept the plant tho)
-Honestly, you get on his nerves a lot and he has definitely contemplated killing you in the past but at the end of the day he really can’t bring himself to do it
-We both know he tried a few times lmfao
-“I will tear you limb from limb, human-“
-“Can I finish my tea first.”
-“You…wait, what?”
-“You’re crazy if you think I’m letting this tea get cold. Try to kill time before I’m done and I’ll smash this cup against your head.”
-If you try hard enough, you might even elicit a laugh out of him, especially if your shadiness is directed at any of his brother which results in him patting your head affectionately
-Nowadays he’s just concerned because you seemed to have made an alliance of sorts with Belphagour and Satan and that’s not a good sign
-For his sake, if not yours, at least try to survive the year without getting chomped on by a random demon please
-He’s too stubborn to let you die just because you’re unbothered by everything so cut him some slack and help out damn it
Mammon:
-“Oi Lucifer, how come I’m stuck babysittin’ this stupid human?”
-“And how come I’m stuck with this asshole for a tour guide, with his fake ass designer shoes and no brand sunglasses. That’s a lot of smack talk from someone with crow shit stains covering the back of his jacket. Also, did you stick your hair in a bucket of mayonnaise?”
-……..
-He was so offended lol
-Normally, humans like you cower in fear whenever demons are as much as mentioned because of the whole “I can eat you whole” thing
-And here you are; insulting the Avatar of Greed and one of the princes of Hell himself just because you didn’t like his attitude
-Don’t worry tho, he warms up to you in less than a fucking month simply because you still come to his rescue whenever his brothers start insulting him and wow, look at that, his heart is now combusting on the floor
-“Y’all have no right to criticise Mammon when he has the most self control out of all of you.”
-“Since when does Mammon have any self control? He can’t keep himself from nicking anything that looks shiny.”
-“Motherfucker, I don’t see him trying to choke me to death, respectfully pls shut the fuck up. I don’t want to say I have favourites but if I do, it’s definitely him.”
-While Mammon’s in the background, with hearts instead of pupils in his eyes like ❤️👄❤️
-He doesn’t even mind running around after you anymore (will still complain about it though because your ass is in constant danger and he’s had enough)
-Honestly, you keep starting shit with random demons, some of which are quite powerful mind you, and you don’t back down even when he’s there to step in
-Would low key love to watch you fight one of your classmates at RAD and organise a ticket selling booth for the event but Lucifer will hang him a new one if he does
-So for now, he sticks to baring his teeth at the aggravator in question and you’re there, giving the same demon the middle finger
-The way you sometimes match his energy gets him so hyped up lmao
-“Mammon, did you steal Levi’s money again?”
-“T’s none of her business human. Now go away, shoo!”
-“Bitch, don’t ‘shoo’ me, I ain’t a bird. Now tell me, did you?”
-“…..Why do you ask?”
-“Because a new flavour of instant noodles just got announced, called ‘Super Hell-Sauce Flavour’ and I thought you might be more interested in that than wasting the money on gambling.”
-“….ok but only if you come with me to buy some.”
-This…this is true love right here
Levi:
-Oh no, now there’s two of you
-Why do I feel like his energy would match MC’s almost immediately? Maybe it’s because he spends too much time in his room on the internet like the rest of us do
-“What do you want, you stupid normie?”
-“300…..”
-“….300 what?”
-“300 mangas collected, thousands of episodes of anime watched, over 60 character figurines, plushies, body pillows, merchandise and several posters only to be called a fucking normie by a demon weeb that’s only known me for 10 minutes.”
-Boom, instant friendship
-He becomes attached to you almost immediately and now that he knows how unphased you are by DevilDom, he is seriously worried
-Hell, you’re making him consider going outside his room just to make sure you’re alive and not dead in a ditch somewhere because you decided to get on someone’s nerves that particular day
-Even during the quiz thing, when he almost kills you, you’re just sitting on the floor and awkwardly watching him as he throws a sissy fit
-Levi feels sort of conflicted with you because one one hand you’re good company and he loves having you around, you’re his Henry after all
-But on the other hand, you put yourself in so much danger it makes him paranoid so often to the point where he wants to keep you locked in his room and wrapped in bubble wrap
-Nearly had a heart attack when you almost walked right into a pit of lava like MC???? This isn’t one of his video games???? You’re not gonna respawn if you die????
-Besides all that, he gets a bit jealous of you confidence and your ability to just do whatever without fearing death or consequence
-“MC, how do you do it?”
-“Do what?”
-“How do you go about your life without a care in the world?”
-“I guess I’ll tell you my secret Levi. I’m not like other humans that’s why, I’m just so unique I do things differently.”
-“You sound like a pick me-“
-As long as you’re OK and not injured because of your carelessness, he’s indifferent about your behaviour and will even applaud you for your bravery when it comes to this sort of thing
-“lmao the human exchange student just dumped Solomon’s cooking in the trash while looking him dead in the eye 💀💀💀”
Satan:
-Your attitude towards DevilDom and demons in general kept him entertained, if nothing else
-You rarely seemed to consider how much of a threat that place really is and usually you were just running around, completely ignoring Lucifer’s rules and doing your own thing
-Which, you know, he’s all about
-I can’t say there were no incidents between the two of you
-With his short temper and your tendency to say things without caring about the consequences, there were definitely moments when he might’ve snapped on you
-“MC for goodness sake, what happened to my room?”
-“What do you mean?”
-“It’s an absolute mess! I just told you to bring me my spells and curses book, not mow through everything!”
-“It’s not my fault this place is built like a fucking labyrinth. You should be grateful I went to get it for you at all, I almost tripped and died several times on my way back. Also, you should get a new ladder for your shelves. It did the broken.”
-“MC….”
-“Yes?”
-“You are so lucky I love you.”
-Other than the fact his anger takes over him when things like these happen, he not so subtly encourages you to keep going because seeing Lucifer scowl at your antics gets him wheezing his lungs out
-I like to think Satan would be very impressed, even in the beginning, at the amount of nonchalance you can radiate at times
-I mean, you sure as hell don’t see it often and he loves how unpredictable you are more often than not
-If anything, he should probably thank you-idk how, but his patience has increased significantly every since you got here and he appreciates having some more control of his emotions
-“I’m gonna go put oil in Lucifer’s shoes.”
-“Do you have a death wish?”
-“Satan, I am old enough to make my own decisions and I concluded that this action is necessary.”
-“Necessary for what?”
-“Raising everyone’s morale! All of you seemed to feel down lately so I thought this would be fun for everybody!”
-“Except Lucifer, right?”
-“Except Lucifer. He grounded me from my D.D.D like I’m a fucking teenager who needs to be supervised-pssshht, I’m the most responsible one here.”
-“Yes clearly.”
-“Goodbye dear Satan, I may die today. But it’s for the greater good! (Dramatic exit with sound effects)”
-“WAIT MC!”
-“(pops head back in) yes?”
-“May I offer you my assistance?”
-You’re basically taking turns pranking his brothers and it’s hilarious
-Satan is not too worried about your well being simply because he knows his siblings and him are always going to be nearby to save you if you pull something stupid again
-Even so, he checks up on you throughout the day; just to make sure
-“Where were you?”
-“Running from a bunch of demons. Who wanted to go munchy crunchy on me, I assume.”
-“……”
-“Either that or people here are a lot friendlier than originally expected.”
-You can be such a handful and it really tests him, especially when he’s angry enough to begin with
-But despite your amazing talent at either getting completely lost around Hell, purposely walking into a prohibited place just because you felt like it or riling up others with how blunt you are, he still cares about you deeply
-You may be a pain the ass, but you’re his pain in the ass <3
Asmo:
-He should’ve known something was up with this particular human when you stood there, completely calm and collected, while Beel salivated at the thought of eating you on your first day
-Asmo just brushed it off for a while but it kept happening???
-The first time Lucifer ever told you off, you really went and said “Or what? Are you going to eat me? If so, you can go ahead and start with-“
-He came to your rescue and covered your mouth before you got to finish and before Lucifer unleashed his wrath on to everyone in that house
-“OOPSIE! I think MC has been spending too much time with me. Sorry Lucifer, we gotta run now! We have a party to attend, don’t we MC darling?”
-“You mean the one hosted by the guy that tried to kill me because I shoved into him on the hallway at school and then proceeded to tell him to go fuck himself right back into whatever hell hole he was born in before you came and charmed our way out of it?”
-“Yes.”
-“Ah OK. “
-You’re tiring for sure but you’re not exactly unlikeable
-You have a certain charm hanging about you that Asmo loves
-“I almost died like…30 minutes ago.”
-“WAIT WHAT?? WHY?? WHAT HAPPENED-MC ARE YOU OK???”
-“Yeah, I almost drank some poison today because someone told me it was water. It smelt off though so I didn’t.”
-“….”
-“Anyway, I got you this bracelet on my way home.”
-He really does wish you would take things a bit more seriously
-This is your life on the line, you know? What would he do if you died?
-“MC, you’re not immortal, you can die so much more easily than I can, you know that right???”
-“I don’t care.”
-“Well I do! And you should too….”
-A lot of people don’t see past his vanity tbh, because he can be such a caring person towards the people he loves
-The amount of videos he has of you appearing to be completely calm while pure chaos is descending in the background is pretty impressive
-Every time he uses his charm on you to try and get you to commit his sin, it just doesn’t work???? For some reason???? And even if it’s just with simple, innocent affection for now, he is determined to tempt you into it
-“MC~gimme a hug!”
-“But that’s social interaction and I don’t support it- do you have a charger for my D.D.D by any chance?
-Or at least die trying to ig
-Asmo loves having you around but you’re giving him wrinkles and that’s not okay >:(
Beel:
-The moment he realised how carefree you actually were, he sort of started checking up with you quite frequently throughout the day
-It’s his way of protecting you but if he could, he would follow you around all the time
-Becomes your body guard because you may not care enough about your safety but he certainly does so get ready to be carried everywhere
-You will not get hurt nor will anyone mess with you if he has a say in it and let me tell you, he does
-Thing is, his brothers mostly know him for being slightly dense in some aspects of day to day life
-He’s not perceptive of things that don’t involve food or his loved ones
-And because you most definitely are a loved one of his, he does notice how careless you are really often
-And it scares, rather worries, him because DevilDom is an incredibly dangerous place-even with all the precautions they had taken when you came
-“MC get down, you could fall.”
-“But Beel, look-I’m finally taller than everyone else! Taller than you even! Hey, should I do a backflip?”
-He has no idea why you thought jumping from 60 meter high cliff into a small river of squashed demon blood was a good idea but he wasn’t going to risk anything just because you felt like showing off your diving skills
-Proceeds to carry you away, completely unfazed
-In this case, I feel like Beel is not someone who gets bothered by the horrible things happening around there either
-As long as he has food and his family is safe and happy then he’s also happy, as mentioned above
-But he knows he’s alright with DevilDom because he’s been living here for centuries now
-A bit curious as to why you’re so unbothered
-And even more curious as to why you weren’t terrified of him transforming in his demon form after he lost control when he found out you ate his pudding
-Or more like Mammon did and pushed the blame on you
-“YOU. ATE. MY. PUDDING!”
-“Beel I love you but if you did not just see Mammon shoving the damn container in my mouth two seconds prior to this, then you might need glasses.”
-He apologised to you later for it but even so, you didn’t seem to mind like at all and he didn’t really understand why
-Unless you end up explaining why exactly you feel so indifferent about your life being in potential danger, he won’t really pry
-But now he has even more reason to follow you around like a lost puppy
-Since it’s clear you don’t really care about protecting yourself
-So now it’s his job to do it
-MC protection squad? Mostly Beel and Mammon
-ahhh he cute
Belphie:
-Oh
-You piss him off so much
-He’s trying to have his moment, you know?
-Finally getting that glimmer of satisfaction after killing a human as a way to avenge his sister’s death
-Trying his hardest to make it as miserable as possible because he has so much rage in him, he needs you to suffer
-“Harder Daddy-“
-“Oh fuck off.”
-Nah but for real, what the fuck MC
-Why does he even bother, he feels like he should be sleeping instead of dealing with your bullshit
-Even afterwards, when your future self shows up and he tries to kill you again, you look more thoughtful than irritated???
-Lucifer and Beel are literally holding him back from doing another Chocky on you and you’re standing there, looking at him with your eyebrows raised
-“Hey Belphie, I have a quick question. I know you’re trying to kill me and everything but do you like the colour blue?”
-“HUH??!?!”
-“It’s a simple yes or no question Belphie. Do. You. Like. Blue?”
-“WHAT DOES IT MATTER???!!!”
-“BELPHAGOUR, AVATAR OF SLOTH-YES OR NO, JUST FUCKING ANSWER!”
-“YES! FUCK YOU!”
-“Ah ok thanks. I like blue too :)”
-????????????
-Pls he felt like sticking his foot down your throat
-As of late, he’s kind of glad he didn’t manage to scare you away that day and that he didn’t traumatise you or something
-At the time, he was mad because he didn’t understand why you weren’t scared but now he just wants to make it up to you
-“You didn’t deserve any of that. I’m sorry MC, I won’t blame you if you decide to stay away from me now.”
-“Stfu dipshit, what’s gotten you so depressed? Did you have another fight with Beel? I told you not to eat the last slice of cake.”
-“Rude ass, I was trying to apologise for my past mistakes-let me repent will you?”
-“Said no demon ever. Now let’s go hang out you emo bitch.”
-Y’all vibe together on a spiritual level once that shit gets sorted out
-But he’s kinda scared you might pull out a knife on him ngl
-Obviously, you’re still annoying as fuck with that indifferent attitude of yours but he can live with it
-He appreciates the fact that you’re not scared of him, even after what he’s done
Diavolo:
-Ah yes, the future King of DevilDom himself
-He’s very enthusiastic about the idea of you having fun this year…..and to keep you alive….
-He, of course, expected a range of reactions from you when he first summoned you here
-None of which were “Ok but could you not have given me a heads up? Before the whole teleportation thing? I face-planted your onto marvellously polished the floor and now I think I lost even more brain cells than before.”
-He felt so bad gagajajahahwgehhsb
-He apologised for bringing you out here without any warning like that and then proceeded to introduce you to everyone
-Diavolo is actually kind of relieved to see you’re handling everything pretty well
-He thought that maybe DevilDom was too much for a human to deal with
-Meeting Barbatos also went incredibly smooth
-“Barbatos? The one that cleans the floors right? Big fan of your work, I could eat off the floor of the main hall.”
-He’s so glad to see you getting along with everyone and not getting intimidated by the brothers
-It gets him excited thinking about how the exchange program is gonna work and all three realms will be united
-But he’s not stupid so don’t think he’ll allow you to stumble around, getting up to all sorts of mischief
-He always has someone watching you because he would hate to see you die, despite being pretty fond of your carefree attitude
-“MC, please be careful. Most demons here aren’t all that nice.”
-“Aye aye Captain.”
-He fears that many demons would take your indifference as a challenge and try to assert dominance or something by kidnapping you
-As far as creatures of hell go, they love installing fear in people
-So he always keeps an extra eye open for you
-And he’ll be there to help you if something goes wrong
-But other than that, he’s pretty chill as well and he finds you so hilarious, it’s been a while since he’s seen someone as eccentric and dramatic as Mammon and Asmo
-Idk what else to add here, Diavolo is very accepting and as long as you don’t get hurt, he’s glad you can get used to your new surroundings so easily

What Jimin is like in a relationship/ Jimin as a boyfriend Tarot reading
Idk what to title this. Also send requests or interesting ideas for readings.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
How fast does it take jimin to get into a relationship? 7 of swords, the high priestess, knight of wands
So for this I intended that swords and wands would represent getting into a relationship quickly and cups/pentacles would be taking a longer time to get into a relationship with someone. I think he definitely tends to get into relationships very quick. When he sees someone he likes he doesn’t waste time waiting for them to approach him or try beating around the bush. This dude just jumps right in and will introduce himself to anyone he finds attractive lmao. He doesn’t have time for the bs games of playing it cool.
Does he prefer long or short term relationships? 8 of swords, queen of wands
I asked again just to make sure and yeahhh lol he really does not care for long term relationships. He hates the feeling of being trapped in a relationship but also hates being alone but alsoooo gets bored very easily. It’s not that he’s actually trapped when he’s in a relationship but it’s moreso he feels trapped in his own mind and feels the need to move onto someone else before the person tries to force all these expectations on him. When he’s in a relationship what you see is what you get basically.
I think past partners got jealous because he’s openly affectionate with a lot of people and a lot of people can’t really deal with dating someone in the spotlight who gets all the adoration. They try to make him commit and lock him into something long term when he already told them upfront this is just casual. Listen ffs this guy doesn’t wanna settle down he wants to have passionate love affairs dudes legit a modern day Casanova. At least not right now I’m not picking up on him wanting to settle down long term. He’s a young rich attractive guy in a boy band so this is to be expected tbh.
Past present future relationships. For the future I phrased it in a way to ask what HE wants his future relationship to be like. Not necessarily what it’ll be. 5 of wands, 5 of cups, princess of fire
His past relationships had a lot of conflict and people misunderstanding and a lot of people trying to grab onto him. I feel like he had a lot of people that he dated that were trying to compete for his attention or again lock him down into what they want him to be. His present love life is him still feeling the lingering regrets and self pitying. He’s so disturbed by the events that happened in his past relationships that he feels like he can’t move on at all. Even when the right person is literally right there he’s too busy hanging on to past hurts and has gotten a little jaded. What he wants for a future relationship is with someone who can match his energy of passion. Someone who enjoys having fun and is open to doing new things. Kinda like thrill seekers. And doesn’t want to settle down immediately and have babies or something.
What is he like in a relationship? 9 of cups, 7 of cups reversed, 3 of swords reversed, unity, the magician
He spoils the heck out of the person he dates. I can see him giving expensive luxury gifts, backstage passes, 5 star hotel rooms, etc. He kinda likes showing off everything he has though because he likes to get praised for it. Again I’m seeing that even though he gives people everything he still falls into temptation even when he knows going for someone else won’t be the best idea.
It’s so bizarre because it looks like he flip flops from extreme confidence to self hate and a lot of self negative talk. Like extreme mood swings. Even when he’s with someone new he still holds grudges from past shit or words that people said in past relationships. Buttttt surprisingly I see that he actually knows that he can intentionally manifest a healthy Union into his life with someone who can match his wavelength. He knows that everything and everyone is one. And that all the shit he’s been through and mistakes he’s made don’t have to keep dragging along with him into other relationships. He knows he can reach out to others around him and get help through anything he’s going and that he doesn’t have to bottle up everything by himself just the problem is is that he doesn’t always like to verbalize when he’s going through shit. He wants people to intuitively know what he wants. I literally went off on a tangent but the last thing is that when he’s with someone he will fuck you up if you try to mess with his partner lmao no joke. He’s very nurturing and loving but he will also f someone up if they mess with someone he loves.
What type of person does Jimin usually look for in a relationship? The moon, justice, undressing of a salad 31, death, Jeanne the maid
I’m seeing he likes someone who can handle anything really. Someone who can handle a hectic lifestyle because he’s literally everywhere. Since his career is insane he looks for someone who can handle that kind of chaos and still be calm about it. Very intuitive too. Maybe someone important too or just a strong personality because there’s a lot of major arcana. This isn’t some easy person this person can handle their own weight and is strong on their own.
They can juggle a lot of things without crumbling. They aren’t easily swayed by anyone’s bs. It’s interesting that balance shows up in 2 different cards from 2 different decks. It seems like balance is a big thing for him. Someone who will transform him and the relationship forces you to grow and open your eyes to new beliefs. He looks for someone who isn’t an attention seeker and gives without expecting something in return. Giving selflessly because they’re a good person and not because they want the world to know how good of a person they are.
What is his love language? Wheel of fortune, 9 of wands reversed, the chariot reversed
Gifts and probably quality time since there’s Egyptian Sphinx and Sagittarius energy so he loves traveling to exotic places with his partner for sure. I’m also getting acts of service for the chariot and 9 of wands reversed. Because he has a lot of moments where he’s exhausted and feels like he lacks the drive to complete things so he could really benefit from someone who can take over for a bit and help him out with other practical things. But again knows to do this intuitively and can pick up on when he’s in one of his moods. I guess that also explains the need for wanting someone who’s more balanced in comparison. Cause in a life full of chaos you’re going to want someone who doesn’t bring more of it.
Uhhh some spice Not really vulgar though, very brief Physical aspects sex/intimacy
Jesus lord more moodiness. He has moments where he’ll be clingy af but also where he’s totally aloof and wants to be alone so good luck. He kinda likes to be a little shit in the intimacy department and degrade his partner instead of praise lol. Possessive energy wanting to own someone. Yeah bye.

tiny pansy rant, cut short so it’s *hopefully* not too long:
i. wanted. to. see. her. change! and in my opinion the reason she never got the chance was because jkr used her character to make fun of people she disliked :/
pretty much all the other noteable slytherins had some sort of redemption arc,, and yeah they’re still mostly problematic people but they got chances: snape, draco, narcissa, regulus, slughorn, leta and technically andromeda? you get the point i just—
like miss ma’am decided to make pansy,, the like slytherin stereotype? and have her want to betray harry? she was seventeen ffs, not bellatrix lestrange. she was in the middle of a war? in my personal opinion i don’t think that she wanted to hand harry over out of cruelty like. it’s possible? but maybe she was just scared? also don’t we know that pansy was terrified at the thought of like. voldemort coming to hogwarts? again: everyone expects all of the children in harry potter to be these selfless brave individuals,, they’re kids :( yes ik it’s ya fantasy but cmon. they were supposed to be stressed about the N.E.W.T exams not the upheaval of their society?
and don’t get me wrong i know that she was. not a good person. she was a bitchy teenage bully who was taught hateful views. but i wanted to see her change even a little– even draco marries someone who presumably teaches him how to treat people equally? like. there was so much room for change: she was a prefect, she was capable of some kindness seeing as she liked draco, or alternatively, we could’ve seen her break away from draco and potentially stop hating harry/all his friends quite so much or develop her own opinions. or maybe her group of friends that she used for validation throughout her school years was uprooted during the war and she had to learn that independency? or her pointing out harry could’ve been turned into trying to be selfless, like she thought they’d be safe that way, or she returned later fighting with reinforcements to show she was on Hogwarts’ side. jkr is always like "well they technically came back to fight, if you squint » but that’s not enough. also? let’s say we did get a glimpse of her during the actual battle: there could’ve been anything, the smallest scene, that showed some sort of support or reconciliation or something between her and hermione, considering how hermione was often pansy’s target. everybody wants to see forgiveness between draco and harry because of minor events/details (i dislike drarry but that’s besides the point), but imagine what could’ve changed with some semblance of apology or assistance from pansy to hermione. there were so many chances for r*wling to give her a smallest redemption
but instead we got her characterized as evil and a stupid, cowardly traitor. she the only person we ever see her care for marries her friends younger sister. she’s the written depiction of jkr’s bitterness and her arc is jkr’s vengeance.
also, another reason that i’m so mad she got nothing is because of the whole slytherin=evil thing. she’s made into a stereotype of a “slytherin”— cruel, selfish, shallow, ugly, and asinine. (also i could rant about slytherin forever, but can we just mention that jkr consistently refers to slytherins as physically ugly and just how fucked up that is? i– wtf). but anyway: to give pansy a chance to change is to give the slytherin house a chance to change its reputation. trying to justify that the slytherin house got its redemption because of the actions of ppl like snape or regulus, etc isn’t possible. because all of those “slytherin heroes” were described again and again as being “different from all the other slytherins”. they set themselves apart by being decent. they weren’t normal slytherins, no, they were set apart, they were brave and smart and kind— not evil. there’s no redemption to be found there. i wish jkr would just fucking say that being sorted into slytherin was being made into a villain. she dodged around it with rhetorical questions and pointing out how not All of them are bad,, and then will go on to mock the other slytherins and talk about how the heroes were Not Like The Other Snakes... again: there’s no redemption of slytherin as a house, as a quality, as a concept there. it’s just the redemption of an individual.
in pansy, however, we could’ve found so much more. like i said, she’s The Average Slytherin: not a hero, not a villain like voldemort. she’s made out to be a depiction of the typical slytherin student, one without a “destiny”, so to speak. and so to give her the chance, to see her change, to have her redefine herself? that would be a starting point for restoring slytherin as a whole (obviously not the best way, and the real best thing to do would be not to make an entire house be the bad guys in the first place, but–) to have someone who’s the figurehead of slytherin (like actually a figurehead,, girl is a even a prefect) show remorse and growth gives the entire house the seed of redemption. it would mean that after over a thousand years there could be peace between the houses. obviously not the only factor in reconciliation but still so important.
and not to just continue to heap on my own issues with it, but look. i know that there are so many other ways to introduce “mundane” antagonists without making them a symbol of anything. pansy could’ve been a bitch without representing slytherin. also pansy doesn’t have to break character and become kind for amends to be made. they don’t even have to be fully made, just started. but jkr chose to:
a.) go with bullying as a minor antagonistic element
b.) create and develop a character around that theme
c.) make this character only based on her own negative personal experiences
d.) turn that character into a representation of a much larger group of people
e.) deny that character any final moment that could begin to make amends for her actions and instead, chooses to make her “defining” moment an act of evil and cowardice
f.) either neglects the character or chooses plot points that would humiliate the character in all the glimpses of the future we are shown (ex. how dracos marriage is)
g.) openly mocks and insults the character repeatedly and never directly comes out and proves she didn’t write slytherins as evil
h.) to the best of my knowledge, ignores that pansy personifing slytherin, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and then characterizing both as “bad” and not giving them a chance to grow, is a summary of her thoughts on slytherin ls and is a possible interpretation of the text (i mean her opinions are already TRASH)
i. ignores the consequences of this or the possible effect it has on her entire fanbase and doesn’t seek to remedy it
but yeah, jkr, it was such a good idea to base a character off of your loathesone memories, take your anger out on her, and that choose to have that character partially represent a large percentage of your fanbase. thank you sooooo much. i really appreciate it!
summary:
I. Pansy— deserved an opportunity to have some character development. everyone else’s mistakes get overlooked to some degree save hers. had so many places to draw inspiration/opportunity from. could’ve progressed other ideas in the book and the analysis of her house while still remaining a “dislikable” character
II. Writing— from a “technical?” aspect, Pansy is underdeveloped and stagnant, used for personal reasons instead of as a plot device. perpetuates the slytherin=bad idea via a sloppy and repetitive characterization and emblem. there are ways around this that weren’t used.
III. I have no qualifications to be saying any of this lmao. Am I reading to much into it, knowing that Rowling tends to be shitty with writing details? Am I being dramatic and repetitive? probably!
IV. Fuck JKR (for everything. she’s an awful person)
anyways this has been: my mini-rant on pansy and her analysis,,, and i am terribly sorry,, i offer my apologies in advance for randomly dumping this into your inbox. it’s long and opinionated and there’s no real reason behind it! i just thought of it and then thought about it some more and then. here we are
ilysm mwah <3 should’ve definitely done something more productive but shh😭 rat brain hours
this is everything, you're completely right. i don't have much to add but i agree all the way. and people give pansy so much shit for the harry thing but she seemed genuinely scared of voldemort coming back and i really think that she believed he would leave them alone if they gave him up. from her perspective, it's either her and the people she cares about get to live or this guy that she not only isn't close to but probably sees as the bad guy considering she dated/was best friends with draco and witnessed their rivalry from his side. did she make the best decisions? no, not at all but i see her reasons and i don't think it makes her this antichrist that jkr makes her out to be. she pulled the “he's just a boy” with draco and had people sympathise with him when he did so so much worse than pansy did so why doesn't that apply to her? she's a kid. they all are. i love harry, ron, and hermione SO MUCH but jkr really said fuck everyone who isn't them ─ especially any girl who isn't her precious hermione. she projected her own pettiness onto fictional characters who are CHILDREN and proceeded to get upset when people connected to and loved other people that she herself made. creating such an underdeveloped character and expecting people to hate her just because she imagined her as her bully is beyond immature and ridiculous. anyways. jkr take a fucking chill pill and leave my girl alone.

That last ffs chapter was perfect! Didnt realize just how bad Efs therapist triggered PTSD was and reading the part where he gets scared and starts stuttering got me in the heart. And Dr Gary handling it so well! telling him his hands are important! It kinda reminded me of Ef feeling like his hands weren’t important when Arden first tied them up. And also when Arden told him his hands were perfect. Can’t wait to read this one over and over again!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
And yeah, Efnisien’s PTSD that’s triggered re: Henton has been present in almost every session since the beginning actually, it’s just not been very ‘eventful’ in some cases and it’s a lot more subtle (which, frankly, a lot of PTSD is, which is why it’s easy for people to have it to kind of ‘forget’ about it even when it’s ruling their lives). But from... never wanting to touch Dr Gary’s hands, and being hesitant about handing things to him, to thinking that Dr Gary is lying to him because Henton said something different, it’s always kind of been lurking. I could probably point out several places in each therapy session where Efnisien has behaved in a certain way because of Henton-related trauma.
Efnisien’s had two pretty major meltdowns around Mika now, and that’s pushing too close to a pattern for Dr Gary’s liking, so they’ll never have a joint session with the three of them in that office again. If/when Efnisien sees Mika again, it will be a pretty different scenario, and Dr Gary and Efnisien will probably talk a lot about it first.
It’s funny, I think Dr Gary handled it as well as he could given the circumstances, but he made some big mistakes. Aside from creating the environment where this could happen in the first place, he also initially threatened Efnisien with Hillview or a hospital to get him to comply with them while standing and crowding him and being a direct trigger, which is actually not a great thing to do with someone in general, let alone someone who’s self-harming (it’s why he back-pedalled pretty firmly on this, with both apologies, and then reminding Efnisien that it’s perfectly understandable to self-harm when he feels he had no other option left to him - a situation Dr Gary created, and then compounded. Like Dr Gary apologised for a lot of stuff in that session, and he was right to).
Dr Gary has a very pushy style that wouldn’t actually suit a lot of clients. And he took a risk and it did not pay off during that session, because he wasn’t assessing the situation properly. I think sometimes - at least rarely - he can get lax with Efnisien because Efnisien is an ‘easy’ client for him. But easy doesn’t always mean that he doesn’t need some vigilance and gentle handling from time to time.
So while I’m happy that Dr Gary recovered really well, he really did kind of set the situation up to be a perfect storm in the first place. I think he was repeating to himself ‘this is an opportunity, this is an opportunity’ a fair few times in that session, lmao, which is what he reminds himself when something goes wrong and he realises he’s fucked up. But I don’t think he’s going to get Efnisien’s expression and words out of his head any time soon when Efnisien straight up reacted to him like he was Henton and started begging him not to touch him. But that’s why Dr Gary has his own therapist.
I feel bad for Mika though. So much of Efnisien’s feelings around his sexuality and his submission are directly tied to aspects of his past. I think he would have been submissive anyway, even without Crielle, but he doesn’t have that meta in his own head - all he knows is that he was raised to behave a certain way, and now he’s behaving that way around Arden sometimes, and he doesn’t know what that means about him as a person. There’s very few subjects that Mika and Efnisien can safely cover without directly stepping through the minefield that is Efnisien’s past. I honestly think Efnisien was charging headlong into a serious meltdown before Dr Gary even came back in the room and tipped him over.
I think we can see how disturbed Efnisien was at the end of the session by the fact that he was really resistant to being calmed down. Like, he changed the subject several times when Dr Gary started encouraging him to think and talk about Stupidhead. Efnisien wasn’t ready to be coaxed away from that emotional upset, and it’s a sign that he’s not really that stable right now. Like Dr Gary did his best, and they did have a good conversation, but Efnisien really wasn’t ready to leave at the end of that session. I think that’s the first time we’ve seen him really hesitate and stay back to try and grab a few more minutes with Dr Gary at the end of a session, though some of that is because he’s resistant to seeing doctors, but some of it is...he’s very upset, and he didn’t find the equilibrium he usually finds after a session. And that’s a pretty big neon sign that Dr Gary messed that one up. But hey, as he says, he’s only human - therapists make mistakes, and they are opportunities.
Part of therapy is learning how to enter the rupture-repair cycle safely. Which is that - something happens where you’re upset at something the therapist has done (or vice versa) and that creatures a rupture. But ruptures always lead to opportunities to repair. And some of the strongest relationships and friendships in the world are the ones that have a healthy rupture-repair cycle. But this rupture has not yet been fully repaired, which I think Dr Gary recognises by his suggesting that they talk further about the way he can support and help Efnisien when he starts regressing or seeing Dr Gary as Henton specifically.
(I’m thinking about it, I do think Dr Gary’s pushy style actually suits Efnisien a lot of the time! Because it gives/affords Efnisien opportunities to have an anger response, feel his anger, realise that he doesn’t like what someone else has said, and do something about it. And a lot of the time he responds and vocalises that anger safely. Like, yes, he’s rude about it, but for the most part, when he feels safe enough, he will tell Dr Gary that he thinks he’s mean, and that gives them a further opportunity to talk about that, and for Dr Gary to apologise, or course correct, or explain himself - and that teaches Efnisien that pointing out when he’s been hurt by someone doesn’t always have to lead to catastrophe - so in that sense, it’s really crucial to this stage of Efnisien’s development. When it works, anyway).
God I’m rambling salkdfja

FF VII & FF XV | Headcanons | Dating a twin
Request: hi hi!! ♡ i just found your account and i love your writing sm is swear 🥺 so uh if it ain't a bother, hcs for zack, aerith, noctis, & prompto with a s/o that has an identical twin sister? and if you're fine with another detail, for zack the twin would be with aerith (+ vice versa!), n for noct the twin would be with prompto (also + vice versa). you don't have to include the last detail tho! n you don't have to do aerith/prompto if it's too much ♡ (oops this is too long lmao srry) [by @x-jodi-x​]
A/N: Thank you so much!! ♥ Hope you enjoy!
Pairing(s): Aerith Gainsborough x reader; Zack Fair x reader; Noctis Lucis Caelum x reader; Prompto Argentum x reader
+++
Tumblr media
• Aerith was confused. She thought your relationship was real? And good? And fulfilling? So why were you walking around, arms linked with Zack, kissing his cheek gently? She was torn between confronting you right away and just walking away and sulking. In the end, she decided for the latter.
• When you called her later that day, she didn’t pick up. You were confused since she usually picked up within five seconds. You called her again and this time she even rejected your call. You were beyond confused at this point, so you decided to go over to her place and talk to her face to face. 
• When you arrived, you were stunned when Elmyra refused to let you see Aerith. You thought back to the last time you two talked. Had you sad something that upset Aerith? Had you hurt her feelings in any way? If that was the case, you wanted to apologize.
• Aerith came out of her room when she heard you and her mother fighting. When she told you to ‘leave and never come back’ you begged her to tell you what you did wrong so you could make it right. 
• You could see the hurt in her eyes as she told you that she saw you with Zack. You frowned in confusion. You? With Zack? You hadn’t talk to him in weeks and even then it was just a quick ‘Hello, how are you?’. But Aerith insisted that she saw you earlier that day, kissing Zack gently.
• It took you a while to put the pieces together. You couldn’t help but chuckle when you finally understood what happened. Aerith and Elmyra were very irritated when they heard you chuckle and were ready to snap when you pulled your phone out. 
• They knew you had a sister but they didn’t expect you to be a twin. Their eyes grew wide when they saw the picture you showed them. “Zack is her boyfriend. And I know she and him met earlier today. I’m sorry, I never told you I had a twin-sister. This would have made things easier.” You giggled again. 
• You assured Aerith that you would never betray her like that. Elmyra apologized for being angry with you before leaving you two alone. Aerith apologized as well but you assured her that it was alright. You were just happy that you could clear things up. 
Tumblr media
• Zack was thrilled when he saw you during his patrol. He decided that a short break to talk with you wouldn’t hurt so he sneaked up on you... only to grab you from behind and swirl you around, while laughing happily. He had done this countless times before and you two always laughed about it. But this time... you weren’t so happy. 
• When he sat you down you were freaking out, calling him a creep for just grabbing a woman and picking her up, who the hell he thought he was and that you would make sure that they were consequences. 
• Zack was stunned. What the hell was going on? He had seen you mad before, yes. But never this mad. And never at him. This was scary. He tried reasoning. Saying that he had done this multiple times and you two always laughed about this and that he didn’t think it would be an issue this time.
• When you said that you didn’t know him and he should stop talking nonsense, something in his chest clenched painfully. He just couldn’t understand why you would deny knowing him. The feeling in his chest got worse when Aerith joined you two and you kissed her to greet her. 
• “(Name)... what’s going on?” He asked quietly. That’s when you perked up. “Wait...” You mumbled, eyeing him curiously. “...are you Zack?” He frowned when Aerith giggled. What were you two playing? 
• Now you were laughing. This was ridiculous. But at least you were apologizing for yelling at him. “I’m sorry, Zack.... but... I’m not (Name).” Wat. What did you mean with ‘I’m not (Name).’? 
• Well apparently, you were not... you. “You” were in fact your sister. Twin-sister that is. He knew you had a twin-sister, but he never anticipated that she looked exactly like you. Not even the slightest difference on her face, body-type, posture or style. It was almost creepy. 
• But Zack was a little embarrassed. He blushed madly and apologized over and over again, until your sister couldn’t help but laugh at the situation and assure him it was alright. If he promised to never just pick someone up without talking to them first. Of course he promised. Your sister didn’t need to tell him, he was definitely ‘cured’ for life. 
Tumblr media
• Noctis looked at the scene unfolding right in front of his eyes. He couldn’t believe what was happening. His girlfriend and his best friend... were kissing. Each other. In public. 
• Prompto told him that he finally conquered the woman he was pining after for months. He was happy for his friend. He really was. But... had he known that it involved the two people he loved the most backstabbing him, he wouldn’t have congratulated Prompto. 
• It hurt him. It hurt him terribly. He didn’t want to see this but at the same time, he couldn’t look away. What the hell were you two thinking? Were people right? Were you only with him because he was the prince? Not because you loved him as a person? 
• Noctis was ready to snap when you and Prompto turned around and saw him, smiling brightly and waving, asking him to come over. Were you stupid or something? 
• Noctis glared at you both and turned around to leave... only to run into you. He froze and frowned as he looked at you... and then at you next to Prompto... and then at you right in front of him again. 
• You couldn’t stop that giggle from escaping your mouth. It was cute when Noctis was confused. But right now, you knew, you had some explaining to do. So you waved Prompto and your sister over and introduced her to Noct. 
• Noctis blushed slightly. How could he think so badly of you? Well of course, he didn’t know that you had a twin-sister but he should have at least... considered a less dramatic and no worst-case-scenario?  
• In the end though, you could all laugh about the situation. You were happy to finally introduce Noctis to your sister, and he was happy that obviously, people were all wrong when accusing you of dating him for selfish reasons. You wouldn’t betray him. Never did, never will. 
Tumblr media
• Prompto was so in love with you. Head over heels. He loves spending time with you, he loves spoiling you, he loves holding you in his arms... the list is endless. And he was convinced that you felt the same. Or so he thought. Until he saw you and Noctis in a very intimate moment. 
• Prompto was outside, looking for new locations for photoshoots, when he saw Noctis fishing at one of his favorite places. That by itself wasn’t very unusual. It was rather the fact that you were with him. In a bikini. Leaning onto him while enjoying the sun. 
• Prompto might have found explanations for that. You two were good friends, why shouldn’t you spend some time together... even this close? But when you started kissing Noct... he ran out of explanations.  
• Prompto felt horrible. He was a walking ball of anxiety by nature and you were originally the one who gave him comfort and built up his confidence. And now you were taking that all away from him. He felt like he was falling into an endless pit. He couldn’t watch this any longer. He needed to leave. 
• Once he was back in the city, he was heading straight for his apartment. He didn’t want to see anybody, talk to anybody, whatsoever. He just wanted to lay in bed, pull the covers over his head and pretend the world wasn’t there for a little bit. What he didn’t expect was you waiting for him at his place, preparing his favorite meal. He had two questions. 1) How on earth were you back here faster than he was? And 2) Why were you acting like nothing happened? 
• You noticed his foul mood and asked him what was wrong. If he didn’t find a nice place today, if he got into a fight or something else happened? Prompto didn’t answer and instead just glared at you, making you gulp heavily. He was hesitant to answer. You hurt him so badly and he didn’t want you to hurt him even more. 
• After gently urging him a little more, he told you about what he witnessed. You and Noct at the lake outside of the city, smooching around and stuff. You hid your face in your hands as you squealed before running over to him and hugging him tightly. 
• Prompto felt so stupid when you reminded him of a certain detail: You had a twin-sister. You told him before. You showed him pictures. And you also told him that your sister was dating Noctis. How could he forget? He was so stupid! You hugged him even tighter when you felt him relax into your embrace. You pecked his cheeks multiple times as you pulled him impossibly closer and promised him over and over again that you would never hurt him like that. You loved him. Why would you want someone else?

immj2 09.04.21 lb
vansh's dumb ass rushing off to that random address he saw. like......... are you even checking on google maps ki kya area hai, is it conducive to having a secret person stashed there as a hostage? pata chala udhar tak pohunch gaye aur ek big bazaar hai.
ishani tripping riddhima as she runs into the house. such middle school bitchidity.
and now some interrogation of really wtf are you and vansh bhai upto all the time, coz no normal ppl can understand wtf your relationship dynamic is anymore.
blah blah some dhamki on dadi ko pata challllllllllll gaya toh??????
idc about this scene except for ishani looking hot af. i love her shirt dress and red lipstick. style icon.
anyway riddhima promises answers in 24 hours and fucks off.
lol vansh reached destination and from the looks of it, it's an empty lot. lmaooooooooooooo, fucking idiot. pehle hi bola tha maine, check kar udhar hai kya.
riddhima meanwhile steals the black box, which changes how it looks every single day.
calls vyom and is like i did my part of the deal, now your turn. they arrange the drop.
lmao vansh comes home to empty safe. follows her as she goes and dumps it in the recycling bins and tells vyom to pick it up.
hoodie waale kisine aake pick up kar diya. which i'm sure is not vyom, but angre/someone else instead.
ew vansh rootin around in the garbage bin for the box. sees it's gone and is all smirkily "INTERESTINGGGGGGG VERYYYYYYYY INTERESTINGGGG" about it. ok either box iske aadmi ne uthaaya hai ya woh asli waala black box nahi tha. warna yeh itna khush nahi hota.

28, 20, 24 of Hinaegi for the shipping meme ask!
Ahah anon, you must be a mind reader because I was just thinking about this ship!
(Also um slight nsfw mention for question 24 ehehehe-)
28- Why do they get jealous?
Ooh this is a fun one! I feel like Hajime would be the one to get more jealous, because, well, Makoto is definitely the more popular one (damn social butterfly that he is), and would attract a LOT of attention, even romantic (though he might not realise it). In particular if the attention is coming from an ultimate, Hajime might feel a bit insecure about that, after all, why would Makoto like him when there's all these insanely talented, smart, and attractive people around he could go for instead? 'Koto quickly shuts this down, of course, reminding Hajime he has loads of likeable traits, and that if Makoto didn't like him the best, they wouldn't be dating! (And, between the two of them, most of the ultimates are kiiinda snobbish anyway-)
Makoto doesn't really seem the type to get jealous, I think- though if he did, I think it would be for slightly similar reasons to that above. People don't normally pay much attention to Hajime, so when they do, it's a bit of a shock. I feel like Makoto would struggle with these feelings- he's happy that Hajime is getting the recognition from someone he deserves, but at the same time it's kind of... annoying to see someone else taking up all his time. Makoto might be insistent on "no it's fine! Please don't worry about me, I'm glad you found someone you enjoy being with other then me, I don't want to intrude" etc, until Hajime, who doesn't really put up with ppl's bs anyway eventually snaps like "oh ffs, you know I love you right?", causing them to both end up in a blushing mess. If this hypothetical 'other person' is just a friend, Hajime will kindly tell them to ease up a little, and if they're romantically interested, uh- it's a little less kind.
(Makoto will say he's over it, but that doesn't stop him being extra snuggly to Hajime when said person is around and vice versa ;))
20- Where do they go on holiday?
I'd imagine somewhere quiet, where it can just the two of them. Maybe where others can be nearby, but not too nearby, since even they need a break from their uh... rambunctious peers. I want to say somewhere like a get-away cottage out in the countryside! Surrounded by sunflower fields, and pretty forests and maybe even (sorry not sorry) orange trees! Ahh, can you imagine them going fruit-picking, collecting different berries to make into desserts? I actually can't see them just sitting around all day (not like me lmao), and I think they'd want to explore around, taking walks through the countryside hand-in-hand, visiting nearby markets, conversing with locals. (My own preferences are seeping in uh oh-) Quiet days and nights where the rain is pouring outside, and they're inside cuddled up in a big blanket just talking away, soaking up each other's company.
24- Where do they first have sex?
*heavily fans face*, despite being a VERY dirty-minded person and an avid reader of some more uh... amorous works, I actually haven't put much thought into the physical side of things, but I'll give it a try!
I feel like these two would take things a little slow, yknow? Not like 'let's wait until the wedding night' slow, but like, at least 2 or 3 months? Unlike some other ships, it's more the emotional aspect of their dynamic that appeals to me then the physical. When these two finally do tango, I don't think it'd be an entirely spur-of-the-moment thing. Perhaphs at least one or two nights spent at each others dorm room/apartment/whatever non-sexually first? It'd be a night when they're alone, I'd think, cuddling on the sofa or something, when things get a little... heated. There might be a bit of hesitation, some awkward fumbling and 'oh damn this is actually Happening oh shit oh hell-', but once they're sure everyone is definitely on board, it turns out there's not much to worry about- everyone's more then enthusiastic ;)
It probably doesn't help that I'd imagine both of them to be virgins beforehand (hsshhshs I'm sorry but like... look at them-) which might add to them wanting to wait a while, especially for when they can be somewhere really private (I can't think of anything more of a mood killer then Ishimaru bursting in because you're both late for class and oH THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT SCHOOL-APPROVED BEHAVIOUR-)
Speaking of which, I'd imagine they'd be on a bed, not only for comfort's sake, but the idea of hinaegi waking up together the morning after with sleepy smiles and lovestruck eyes makes me... so... soft <3

If it's ok may i request a yandere!armin x mikasa fanfic set in the aot world? If that's comfortable for you of course.. I loved your fanfic, Bared and I am in desperate need of some arumika content.
Disclaimer: I do not own Shingeki no Kyojin / Attack on Titan nor its characters.
Title: Yandere
parts: 1/2
Synopsis:  Unknown to everyone but his victims, there’s a side to Armin that he dedicates to protecting his beloved.
Rated: T / M (I’m not that sure; but it’s a fanfic about yandere so there’s that. Read it at your own risk. I might finalize the overall rating depending on the second part.)
Pairings: Armin Arlert / Mikasa Ackerman 
Read it also on / Please Leave a Review at: my Ao3 / FF net (might post there soon.)
A/N: i’m chill with writing yandere stuff i guess? But remember guys, don’t be a yandere in real life lmao. I hope this was okay, considering i don’t really watch/play yandere animes/games?? I think?? Except for the classics y’know, like Mirai Nikki haha. That aside, thank you for enjoying Bare!  (which y’all can read on my Ao3 lmao). Also, the time period / current time setting of this is messy but shhh....... 
-
Control.
While many cadets would think otherwise, Armin had always struggled with control, sometimes even more than Eren.
Murderous urges never ceased to come creeping up his spine, crawling its way into his heart; strangling it and him entirely—pleading for him to let them go. To let loose whenever anyone goes a little too close to her; whenever anyone dares to invade her personal space, trespassing in his territory.
But Armin knew how to play his cards. Behind his innocent and naïve appearance, deep inside the insanity that dances around his heart like a frisky pup, he was an intelligent and strategic man, who knew how to play this game.
Killing Eren was never, could never be an option. Even if that reckless boy dragged Mikasa down into the turbulence that surrounded him, even if that dense idiot carelessly spat insensitive rubbish in Mikasa’s direction, even if one day he might finally become a sensible man, who was capable of loving her—he can’t kill him. And it was not just because they shared a history together, because they shared a bond.
It was because he knew Eren’s death would send Mikasa in a spiral down into the depths of hell or null. He had the horrid chance of witnessing it once; the impact of Eren’s death on Mikasa.
And it was because he loves Mikasa, he didn’t want her to suffer through that again, so he kept Eren and a few others that appeared to be close (but not that dangerously close) to Mikasa. He didn’t, and never wanted to see her hurt. Besides, he would often think, there are other fathomable and less bloody ways of making her mine, before anyone else.
For now, Armin wasn’t fixated in eliminating the ‘what if’ possibilities where Mikasa winded up with someone else that wasn’t him. For now, he chose to instead focus on his next step in this messed-up game. And for now, in this game, he decided to let them live.
Call him obsessive, but the blonde was lovesick.
Armin didn’t remember how his feelings escalated into this splendid travesty; how this wicked side of him woke. What he did remember was that one day, a day where Eren was absent, a day where it was just the two of them, a day where Armin really had the chance to admire and marvel in the Ackerman’s heavenly presence, did he start to fall.
“Armin…? Are you alright?” Mikasa asked softly, taking a seat on the edge of the bed. “You appeared… troubled earlier, was it because you saw him?” The concern emanating from her tone was enough to throw Armin’s senses off a cliff; and that was barely an exaggeration. Anything, and maybe everything that came out of her mouth was considered a melody to Armin.
Her.
Her.
Her.
Everything about her was a soothing melody. Her voice, her breath, her heartbeat. Even just her looks. That much was enough to compose a symphony in Armin’s head.
“No… it’s nothing.” Armin assured with a hum as he turned towards her direction, putting on the brightest smile he could manage in the dim-lit room that they were to rest in. For a motel in the underground, this far exceeded Armin’s expectation. Despite the poor lighting along with the peelings of decayed wallpaper hanging loose from the cracked, yellowed walls, Armin had honestly anticipated for the condition of this room to be much worse, with insects possibly crawling about, spiders readying to defend their territory or hunt.
Regardless, as long as Mikasa was comfortable, it was fine.
That aside, the last thing Armin had expected was to see that man who harassed him back then, when he was forced to doll up, dress up as Historia Reiss. Then again, the fact that the two of them were ordered to investigate these parts of the underground for clues regarding a separate issue (one that was fortunately not about Eren being kidnapped, again) was even more unexpected, bewildering even. The crippling world existing on the surface was chaos enough, and Armin would’ve had expected for Levi to keep them around in case that Ripper would show up since they were vital members of his squad. Or at least, not send two cadets on a mission alone, having to navigate the unfamiliar underground the first time by themselves, with a poorly drawn map that could’ve been mistaken with a child’s doodle. Then again, as much as he’d like to question his decision, he didn’t have an opportunity to. Who knows what was going behind the scenes? Armin couldn’t help but ponder.
On the bright side, he was alone with Mikasa.
On the darker side, however…
“If anything, I should be asking you that, Mikasa.” Armin remarked, his smile and other features morphing into something more worried. “You looked… uncomfortable, out there.” It took him every ounce of effort to not let his maliciousness seep through and poison his tone when he thought back to the stares Mikasa received—particularly by one herd of obnoxious barbarians that were bold and foolish enough to cackle out inappropriately snide remarks about her oriental features as they made their way towards the bar.
It made his blood boil.
“…I just don’t understand why people like them exist, that is all. I don’t have time to be concerned with people like them.” She said coldly; a tone and sentiment Armin hoped to never be on the receiving end of. What’d he ever do if Mikasa were to hate him? Or if Mikasa were to find out his… tendencies?
Armin didn’t plan to find out. He was a curious soul, but not that curious.
Slowly, Mikasa shifted herself slightly to the left side of the bed before patting the vacant right side. “Lay down… there’s room. Besides, that couch looks like it could be invested with termites.” She offered calmly, resisting a yawn.
“E-Eh?!” Armin stuttered, face flushed. He had been too busy… scheming, and had forgotten that there was a possibility of them having to share a bed.
It wasn’t the first time but… he wanted to feel her warmth, so badly, so desperately. He wanted to cling onto her, and never, never let her go. He wanted to be close to her, to be overwhelmed by her godly presence again and again. It would just be the two of them. No distractions, nothing.
Unfortunately, Armin had to reject, or rather postpone her offer, as reluctant as he was.
His hand stretched back, scratching the back of his neck nervously. “I… would love to, but… I haven’t eaten any dinner yet since we left. I saw a store selling bread nearby, so I’ll head there for a bit.”
“What?” Mikasa’s eyes widened, shocked to hear that he was running on an empty stomach. “I’ll come w—”
“No, it’s fine!” Armin reassured. “You need to… rest. Please.” He didn’t want to trouble her.
Despite his plea for her to rest, she stood up in protest, stomping her way towards him. The fierceness in her eyes clearly made it evident to him that she was against the idea. Cute, he thought. He adored how dedicated and devoted she could be to the people she made room for in her heart, he greatly appreciated her concern, but…
“But it can be dangerous—”
“If I don’t come back within forty-five minutes… then come looking for me.” Armin smiled. “Don’t worry. It’s just a quick stop, and I’ll head back. I can handle my own.”
Mikasa looked at him, stared with him eyes brimming full of genuine worry, concern and conflict. It made Armin’s heart skip and flutter. That look served a reminder to Armin that she cared about him, so much.
After a long tangible silence that stood between them (that Armin didn’t break, couldn’t break. He was too hypnotized by her looks; by her), she finally resigned and with a sigh, “Fine.” She said.
Armin was perfectly capable of handling himself, she knew that. He wasn’t weak. Even if he didn’t excel in physical strength as much as she did, he made it up with his brains; his intelligence that always aid in his and their escape in whatever tricky predicaments.
“But… please,” She muttered, her hands reaching out to grab his free hand, holding them closely, tightly. “Don’t stay out too long… the later it gets, the more ruffians are out there.”
“U-Uhuh!” Armin nodded, savouring her touch, her warmth, feeling the heat rising to his cheeks and a mad rush of blood surging. It was thrilling, and an expression nearly slipped from his control.
Control Armin, control. He reminded himself. Now wasn’t the moment for Mikasa to witness how much she had an effect on him. He was practically wrapped around her finger, in some sense, and he didn’t mind. It was relieving, he was glad.
Perhaps if it wasn’t just the two of them, he would have more control about his expressions that had a possibility of exposing what he felt for her. He loved her, but at the same time, what he felt for her was more than that.
There was no going back, now.
Once Mikasa had let go, he left, knowing that there was no time to waste.
As he left, he felt a wave of ecstasy swinging within him as he relished the lingering warmth that Mikasa’s hand had imprinted on his. Ahhhh! The warmth is all the same… He thought, humming to himself as he skipped towards his destination. Her touch is all the same… ah… sometimes I just want it all to myself.
Upon arriving at his destination, his humming stopped, and what took over was a determined look mixed with some animosity. Taking a deep breath as he re-calculated his plans, he entered the bar with a thirst for vengeance.

*is just projecting at this point* what about the brothers with an MC who likes to knit?
I always have such respect for people who can knit! It requires so much patience and I can’t really relate lmao. Anyway, thank you for the request :) I had a lot of fun writing it.
————————————-
The Brothers with an MC who likes to knit:
Lucifer:
-He is probably aware of your hobby already
-I mean, he saw your knitting equipment in your room and kinda put two and two together
-He didn’t expect you’d be knitting much because DevilDom is hot as balls and making woolly hats and scarves would be stupid
-But you were like: fuck it
-You didn’t bring the freaking knitting kit down to hell with you for nothing
-You made everyone pillows with the symbol that represents their sin sewed on them
-Lucifer was pretty shocked to see how handy such a frustrating hobby could become
-You made knit bunting banners every time Diavolo threw a party as decorations
-Lucifer really starts to appreciate your talent when you start making him things
-Like that one time you gave him a knitted neck tie
-Which he wore proudly any chance he got
-He’s not exactly into these sort of things as I imagine he would snap pretty easily if he were to try it out
-But Lord almighty does he respect you for having the patience to create all these things
-Really supportive but in his own way
-By treasuring and safe guarding any knitted gift you have ever given him
-What a big ol’ softie he is on the inside
-Don’t fell him I said that-
Mammon:
-Knitting? The fuck is knitting??
-100000+ year old demon and he has no idea what knitting is
-Once you showed him how knitting worked, he was a bit disappointed
-“MC, not gonna lie, that looks boring as shit.”
-I mean, you can stay still and do that crap for hours on end? Is this what humans do for fun?
-You should see how quickly he shuts up when he sees the results
-You can make yourself handbags out of wool?? And really fluffy jumpers with crazy complicated designs on them???
-Jeez this man couldn’t be more smug about it. I mean, look at his human being so talented on top of being the kindest creature he met
-You tell him you can sell these things for money and he is already setting up a business for the two of you to start
-He suggests you start working for Majolish and you make some woolly clothes for them to distribute but you have to insist you only knit for fun
-You made him scarves and hats to match with his outfits and he’s so happy??
-The only thing that he would never consider selling is any gift given to him by you
-You made him a fake wallet out of wool as a joke one day
-He has it on him all day every day and uses it sometimes too
-Though he gets bored easily, he becomes so awestruck whenever you start knitting, he’s watching you intensely a lot
-He demands you teach him how to knit
-He tells you it’s because he wants to sell his own creations and make profit instead of relying on you
-He actually wants to have as many things in common as you do and give you hand made gifts in return too
Levi:
-“Haha you’re such a normie.”
-Doesn’t really understand the point of knitting
-I mean, is it really that entertaining?
-More entertaining than his raids??
-Well, if knitting makes you happy, who is he to judge?
-He doesn’t really have much room to talk
-He’ll probably call you a normie several times but would never insult your interests
-He knows it can be really hurtful when someone else disses your hobbies
-If anything, he grew really accustomed with you humming as you worked while he played his games
-You made him a jumper with Ruri-chan on it which took you a really long time
-Actually screamed when you gave it to him
-You made that for him?
-Why?
-Why waste your talent on an otaku like him?
-He wears that thing everywhere
-Even if it’s a very hot summer in DevilDom
-His brothers tease him but does he give a fuck? No, no he doesn’t
-Gets jealous if you make stuff for his brothers
-You made him a knitted body pillow ffs
-Actually very understanding of how long it must take to create all these things end encourages you to take breaks
-Considerate boi
Satan:
-He finds knitting kind of interesting actually
-He likes how convenient it can be at times
-You want a new bag but don’t have the Grimm for it? Boom, a knitted handbag. (Those actually exist and holy Lord Diavolo do they look impressive)
-It takes a lot of patience and self coordination to make these so he’s lowkey proud
-He knows that if he ever tried it, he would throw the entire kit out the window so you have his respect
-Not to mention he loves how happy you look when you finish one of your projects
-I saw these knitted animals that people can make online and Satan would love those-
-Seriously, he would keep them in his room, fully visible for anyone to see
-You two would have these cosy little chats in library while he reads and you knit
-He likes the gifts you made for him as well but the man would be too flustered to show his gratitude besides a quiet ‘thank you’
-We sure love our little angry boy
Asmo:
-Girl, you can knit??
-He makes such a big deal about it even though it’s just something you like doing from time to time
-He brags about your hobby to people more than you do
-He’s always nearby when you do knit
-Asmo will be offended if you don’t ask him to wear your scarves and hats
-He’s usually the one suggesting what colours you should make them out of and will wear them accordingly
-I mean, you can knit and he’s into fashion, so there are times he asks if he can help you in any way
-Oh but don’t spend too much time on knitting OK? You still have to give him a lot of attention
-Not to mention it’s bad for your skin to obsess over a hobby!
-He likes doing your hair while you knit, brushing it and gossiping about anything that comes to mind with you
-Pleass teach him how to knit too! He’s interested enough even if he doesn’t get it the first time around!
-Half of his closet is made of your woolly jumpers and other pieces of clothing you made
-They also kinda remind him of you whenever you’re away
-They’re like a comfort objects for him because they smell like you and he’s lonely
Beel:
-You like knitting? Cool
-He doesn’t really react
-I mean, he’s supportive but he doesn’t want to seem annoying by asking you many questions
-He really loves how your face lights up whenever you start talking about your hobby
-It makes him equally happy
-Beel does want to know what you do in your spare time when you’re not eating with him
-So, he’ll watch you sometimes as you knit, asking questions every now and again
-He finds it endearing with how determined you get when you want to finish a project
-However, he gets worried about you
-He’s a bit anxious that you’re not getting enough rest or food with how much you spend on knitting
-So he often brings you snacks and encourages you take breaks
-He gets as excited as you do whenever you finish something
-He will feel absolutely honoured with a capital H if you were to make him anything
-But, he‘s kinda scared he’ll start munching on your hand made gifts if he’s too hungry
-Is surprised that you can make so many things out of wool?? And it’s not even edible wtf????
-He would love to learn how to knit as long as you’re willing to teach him!
-His hands may be a bit too big for him to do so but he’ll try!
-He’ll do anything if it means he gets to see your smile
Belphie:
-“Can you knit a pillow?”
-Literally the first thing he asked
-The moment you said yes, he’s wide awake
-At first, he wasn’t really interested in a human custom like ‘knitting’
-He was still going through his “I hate every human being except you my dearest MC.” phase
-But he liked the sound of you knitting as he slept
-And he found watching you knit was kind of relaxing too
-It lulls him to sleep in a way
-You made him a small cow printed pillow one day to match his actual pillow
-And he adored it
-He usually has it on him
-He loves anything you give him, especially if you made it yourself
-Like Asmo, he seeks comfort in your knitted creations whenever you’re away
-He likes anything cuddly and fluffy that you make whether it’d be pillows, or knitted plushies or even clothing
-He shares most stuff with Beel so in the end you made identical cardigans for the two of them which Belphie appreciates immensely
-It’s a bonus for him to see you so fired up and excited about something too
-He finds your bubbly attitude when it comes to knitting cute
-He doesn’t have the patience to even attempt knitting but again, he loves watching you do it
-He honestly doesn’t think he deserves any of this but he will embrace it
-But uh, hey, take a break will you? Go take a nap with him before finishing that
Al~

Yule Ball Dilemma // Draco Malfoy x Reader - Chapter 3
Summary: The Yule Ball is approaching and one of the main problems students are facing besides their studies is who they're going to the ball with. You couldn't care less. You believe that you'll be able to enjoy the ball whether you have a partner or not. Draco, on the other hand, has been thinking about asking you to be his partner.But what's this? Someone else is also planning on asking you out? Will they beat Draco to it or will Draco man up and ask you out first?
A/N: I scratched the original outline for this chapter and redid it and honestly this one's much better lmao. I also scratched the idea of making an epilogue and just merged it in this one because I literally can't stretch the story any longer HAHA. This is supposed to be a oneshot ffs
Sorry this took so long!!! I got sidetracked and I'm now deep in Animal Crossing (Pocket Camp, not NH I'm broke).
No beta since I literally just finished writing this and it's 6am and my beta readers are asleep orz
Anyways! I hope you enjoy it!! I'm going to try to work on the requests without stressing myself out too much because I noticed that I do that a lot :') I might start an actual series soon too but it's still 50-50.
Index: Chapter One | Chapter Two | Chapter Three (You’re Here!)
Word Count: 2.7k
Tag List: @theres-a-dog-outside-omg @langdonzvoid @romance-geek @slytherclawmalfoy @danadeacon @malfoyswheezes @naomi02hook @sarahthehuffpuff 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you even managed to register what Macmillan just said, Draco lunged at Macmillan. His fist met the poor Hufflepuff’s face which made him stumble backward. Your eyes widened when you saw the bruising around Ernie’s right eye. He charged at Draco and punched him back, breaking his nose. You panicked at the sight of blood on Draco’s face. 
“Stop it! Both of you!”
The two didn’t hear your yells as they were too busy grabbing and trying to hit the other. You tried to pull Draco away but he was too strong and you couldn’t successfully pry him away from the other boy. Everyone in the Great Hall is now looking at two fighting boys. To your luck, Professor Snape has arrived, along with Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout. Professor McGonagall whips out her wand and separates the two with a wordless spell. 
“Care to explain yourselves?” Professor Snape’s voice was the same as usual but you can sense a bit of annoyance in his tone. 
“He started it!” Macmillan exclaimed, pointing a finger at Draco. “He just punched me out of nowhere!” Draco tried to raise his fist again but Snape was holding his arm back. “Professor, he was being—”
“No more reasons! Both of you.” Professor McGonagall said sternly. “20 points from Slytherin and Hufflepuff for fighting in the Great Hall. I will also talk to your head of house about your detention.” You heard groans from both the Slytherin and Hufflepuff table. Professor Snape and Professor Sprout then brought the two boys to the hospital wing as Professor McGonagall tells everyone to go back into their dormitories. 
“I’m going to go check on them. You guys go ahead.” You waved your friends goodbye and went to the hospital wing. You were fuming. Not only did the two of them make a scene, but Draco also managed to make your house lose points and get himself hurt. You weren’t really mad over losing points, you were angry over the fact that Draco did something so irrational.
You swung the door to the hospital wing open and walked by Professor Snape and Professor Sprout on your way in. Once you’ve spotted the two boys, you angrily stomped towards their beds. Madam Pomfrey just left to fetch something she’ll need to lessen the swelling on the boys’ faces. They were looking away from each other, avoiding each other’s gaze. Draco tried to open his mouth to explain but you cut him off.
“What were you two thinking?” You yelled at them in frustration. Macmillan looked at you. You could barely see the blackeye around his right eye but the swelling was still there.
“Y/N, you saw it yourself. He attacked me first!” He tried to explain. “That doesn’t mean that the two of you should start fighting in the Great Hall.” You glared at him and he lowered his head. “In front of other students and teachers too! Have you got no decency?” You saw Draco about to speak up in the corner of your eye but before he could, your glare shifted from the Hufflepuff to him.
“And you!” If looks could kill, Draco would have been dead on the spot. He has never seen you this mad before. “I don’t even know what to say to you. I’m so angry at the two of you right now.” You brought your hands to your face and tried to take a deep breath. You wanted to pull your hair out of frustration. You looked at them one last time, with the same angry glare, and left. You can’t handle seeing their faces right now, you needed to cool off. 
Draco made his way back to the common room immediately after Pomfrey had healed his broken nose. He remembered how angry you were when you showed up in the hospital wing and he was scared that you’d ignore him once you see him. He whispers the password and the bricks open to reveal the Slytherin common room. 
The moment he stepped in, the first years, who were doing their essays in the common room, hurried back to their dorms. He saw his friends sitting by the fireplace and made his way towards them. They were the only ones in the common room since the moment another student saw Draco, they just hurried back to their dorms. 
“Nice punch.” Theo snickered, Draco just scowled at him. It wasn’t funny. 
Seeing Draco’s reaction, Blaise smacked his potions book behind Theo’s head and mouthed the words “Not funny.” This made Theo shut up, but he was still grinning like an idiot. Three figures sitting on the floor caught Draco’s attention.
 He swallowed the lump in his throat when he noticed that it was you, Pansy, and Daphne. The two girls were sitting across you as you finished ranting to them. You buried your face on the pillow you were hugging. The two girls just rubbed your back in an attempt to comfort you. 
You didn’t notice Draco making his way behind you since you currently have your face buried on a pillow. Pansy noticed him and stood up, followed by Daphne.
“You better make up to her.” Pansy glared at Draco and poked his chest with a finger before she left. Daphne just gave him a sad smile and left. 
You noticed the sudden disappearance of the two comforting figures in front of you and raised your head to confirm that the two girls you were just talking to were now gone.
“Y/N,” You heard Draco say behind you. You felt the anger you felt earlier coming back and quickly stood up. You tried to ignore him and just make your way to the dorms when you felt him grab you by your wrist. The rest of your friends noticed this and immediately scurried back to their dorms, leaving you and Draco alone in the common room.
You pulled your hand away from his and crossed your arms across your chest with a huff.
“What do you want?”
You tried your best to look mad. You felt your heart twist when you saw the sad expression on his face. No. You’re not going to give in easily. He didn’t answer your question. Instead, he just looked at the ground, not meeting your gaze. You exhaled sharply and uncrossed your arms to bring them to your sides.
“What you did earlier was stupid, Draco.” You started. “You didn’t have to launch yourself at Macmillan. You should’ve let me handle it. Look, you even got yourself hurt and cost us points!" You exclaimed. “I promised you I wouldn’t entertain him. Did you think I would break that promise?” Your voice faltered. “Don’t you trust me?” Draco looked up to see the mixture of anger and sadness on your face, mostly sadness. 
“No, It’s not that,” He grabbed both of your hands and held it in his. “I trust you, Y/N. It’s just—I just couldn’t handle seeing him so close to you.” His eyebrows furrowed in annoyance as he recalls the scene from earlier, Macmillan asking you out, a bouquet in his hand. You pulled your hands away, which made Draco frown. As much as you love him holding your hands, you need to hold onto your angry façade.  
“What do you mean?”
“He fancies you, Y/N.” He explained. You were surprised. Macmillan fancies you? “I just can’t have him asking you out before I do. You know how much I hate competition.” He was now rambling. He wasn’t even looking at you directly and you noticed the shade of pink starting to spread on his cheeks up to the tip of his ears. 
“I was planning to ask you out myself, I just couldn’t find the right moment—” He stopped when he heard you laughing. Your angry expression was now replaced with a smile. He felt his heart pounding in his chest when he saw your face. You wiped a tear from your eye and looked up to him. His entire face was now pink and you couldn’t help but laugh again.
"You could've just asked me. You know I'll never say no to you." You told him as you tried to calm yourself down. He grabs your hands once more and holds them. “It’s not just that.” You shot him a confused look. 
“What—” Before you could finish your sentence, he presses his lips against yours. Your eyes widen. He pulls away to see your reaction. Just like him, you were furiously blushing. Your mouth was hanging open from the surprise and Draco couldn’t help but chuckle. 
“I’ve always fancied you, Y/N.” He cups your cheek with his hand as you stare at him, mouth open. You were still processing the fact that Draco kissed you. Not only that, but he also confessed that he fancies you. You continued to stare at him as you brought a hand to his face. Your thumb gently caressing the bruise by his lips as you examined his face. 
You couldn’t believe it. You couldn’t believe this is happening.  You tried so hard to push away your feelings for him because you were scared and in denial. You were scared that he wouldn’t feel the same and you would end up ruining your friendship. A friendship you both cherished. 
A smile appeared on your lips as everything finally sank in. He likes you back. You prayed that you weren’t dreaming. If this was a dream, you’d prefer not to wake up. Your eyes met his. He was looking at you with so much adoration you might just melt.
“Well then,” You broke the silence. “Are you going to ask me now or not?”
Draco raised an eyebrow. “What?” He has completely forgotten about the Yule Ball at this point. All that matters to him is you in front of him.
“As your date, silly.” You softly laughed and he swore his heart fluttered. “Are you going to ask me out as your date for the Yule Ball?” He chuckled as he wrapped his hands around your waist.
“I have a better question, actually.” He leaned towards your face, your foreheads touching.
“Will you be my girlfriend?”
You giggled as you wrap your arms around his neck. You leaned forward, planting a quick kiss on his lips. 
“Yes.”
Draco started humming your favorite tune. The two of you closed your eyes, foreheads touching once more as you slowly swayed to his humming.
Meanwhile, by the stairs, an annoyed Theo hands a grinning Pansy twenty galleons. The two of them made a bet on which of the two would confess first. They tried to get Blaise to join but he didn’t want to. Theo was confident that it was going to be you, while Pansy believed that it would be Draco. The four (Pansy, Daphne, Blaise, and Theo) watched as the two of you wallowed in your moment. 
— 
It was finally time for the Yule Ball. You examined your reflection in the mirror. You felt gorgeous in your gown. Not to mention the makeup look Pansy gave you made you feel more beautiful. You smiled as you imagined what Draco’s reaction would be when he sees you. You were confident that he would probably be head over heels for you. 
“Y/N, you look stunning!” You saw Pansy’s figure appear behind your reflection. Pansy looked gorgeous. You shot her back a compliment and she just waved it off. 
“I still can’t believe Blaise asked you out and you said yes.” You said as Pansy just rolled her eyes.
“Don’t get it all twisted, Y/N. I only said yes because the ball was close and I don’t want to attend the ball alone.” She said as she crossed her arms across her chest. “Unlike you, not all of us have a boyfriend that could take them to the ball.” Pansy grinned as she noticed your face turning red. Ever since you and Draco got together, your friends would always find a way to rub it in. You don’t really mind but it doesn’t fail to make you flustered. 
“Ugh, I just can’t believe all it would take for the two of you to realize your feelings for each other is to have Draco punch someone.” The two of you laughed. You took one last look in front of the mirror before you headed downstairs.
 The moment Draco saw you walking down the stairs, he swore you were the most beautiful thing his eyes had ever landed on. You chuckled at the sight of Draco staring at you with his mouth open. He shook his head as you approached closer. He took your hand and kissed it. You blushed at the gesture and held onto his arm when he offered it. 
“Don’t you look lovely tonight, darling.” He mentioned as you and your friends made your way to the Great Hall. You caught yourself blushing again once the pet name escaped his lips. Ever since you started dating, he would refrain from calling you anything but pet names. He loved the way you get flustered whenever he says it. You gathered yourself together, trying to brush off the blood rushing on your face. 
“You don’t look bad yourself, Draco.” You replied. He looked ravishing in his dress robes. He chuckled at your response and planted a kiss on your cheek.
“Oi, save that for later when no one’s around.” You heard Blaise say behind you, Pansy in his arm cackling. You just stuck your tongue out at him and returned your attention to Draco. 
When you entered the Great Hall, you almost couldn’t believe you were in the Great Hall. You and your friends made your way to the side as Professor Dumbledore announced the entrance of the champions and their dates. 
Everyone lost it when they saw Granger on Viktor Krum’s arm. She looked completely different. Not in a bad way, even you would admit that. You can’t exactly point out what it was that made her look more beautiful but you couldn’t help but stare, like everybody else.
Well, everybody except Draco. His eyes were fixed on you. You didn’t notice that he was staring at you as you were too busy staring at the champions and their dates. Draco looked at you as if you were the most precious and most beautiful gem in the entire world. 
After the champions and everyone else danced, you and your friends were standing by the sides, talking and occasionally observing the crowd. You were quietly sipping your drink while leaning on Draco, who was playing with your hair when you heard a familiar tune play. You squint, trying to focus on the music. 
Draco was surprised when you suddenly squealed and placed your drink down before you dragged him into the dance floor. Then he realized the music that was playing. It was your favorite. 
The two of you pressed your palms together as you began dancing your special dance. He held your hand in his as he twirled you. Everyone on the dance floor was now looking at the two of you but Draco couldn’t care less. 
All he cared about is how happy you look as his arms slide against yours. As the two of you swayed along to the music. The rest of the world seemed to disappear as he looked at your smiling face.
The song ended and everyone went back to minding their own business. Draco had his arms on your waist and you had your arms wrapped around his neck as the two of you slowly danced. 
“We should get back to our friends.” He whispered at you as you felt his hand leave your waist. You hugged him and buried your face on his chest. He was surprised but he wrapped his arms around you, hugging you back.
“I love you, Draco” Your voice was muffled but he heard you clearly.
You could hear his heartbeat beat faster as he buried his face in your hair. 
“I love you too.” He whispered.
You looked up to meet his eyes. You gave him a warm smile before you reached up to him and kissed him. You felt him smile in the kiss as he brought his hands to cup your face.
This night just couldn’t get any better.
