WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING ?!?!?!

[genderkoolaid]

ive seen people talk about nonbinary folks identifying by their agab & specifically in the context of "afab nb people call themselves that to mark themselves as the GOOD ones/to weaponize their afabness" (altho im sure people have said some shit abt nb people amab too) and its like. why are we assuming that nonbinary people are doing this maliciously and not assume that its because nonbinary people are told that if we "hide" our agab we're deceitful and untrustworthy, so people get in the habit of always declaring what kind of NB they are before they have a billion people demanding that information from them

Hmm, perhaps a fluffy date with an Arataki Itto who is trying to impress the reader by showing off for the event requests?

If that doesn't strike you, anything with Julian Devorak or Muriel from The Arcana would SLAP - I haven't seen many others into it on here yet and you reminded me of its existence jkshkjgfd

✿ 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨? ✿

characters: murial, julian devorak x nb!reader (separate)

warnings: fluff, crack, the idiots (affectionately) are bad at feelings, mazelinka portia and asra best wingmen😤💪

notes: i literally accidentally deleted this entire fic at 3 in the fucking morning last night and went to sleep with angry tears like a bitch

poor gentle giant has never heard of valentines day before so when asra and faust brought it up, he just stood there with a cute, confused look on his face and a tilted head

muriel has never pursued romantic relationships or even a normal human interaction at that so when asra suddenly brought up about a day where people ask the one they have affections for out on a date, his mind just short circuited

cue a cute flustered mountain of a man, tripping over his words, trying to deny his feelings for you

it took him a long time to understand that the butterflies in his stomach, heat rising to his cheeks and hand twitching to hold yours was a normal thing for people in love

and it took him even longer to accept that feeling and his affections towards you

it took hours of lecture from both asra and his familiar faust to knock some sense into the gentle giant

when muriel returned to his little hut in the forest, he couldn’t sit still in one place for even a minute

pacing back and forth, mumbling about the “what-ifs”, hell he even asked inanna about whether he should confess or not

after getting the “are-you-serious?” look from inanna, muriel finally made up his mind

soon valentines day came and there he was, standing in front of your little cottage with a fresh new clothes - your gifted green scarf still wrapped around his neck - holding a bouquet of flowers that he picked and wrapped himself

after debating all sorts of things in his mind, he finally sucked it up and knocked on your door

gods, you always takes his breath away

after snapping out of his simping over you, the gentle giant finally came clean of his feelings

“ahem… uhm i heard from asra and faust… that today is a day for couples and i thought…”

“…will you be my valentine, [name]?”

ah yes the ever scheming, masochist, i-hide-my-true-feelings-behind-fake-smiles-and-flirty-personality doctor, the first character i simped for in arcana

ilya is so used to always hiding behind charming lies, deceitful words and fake personalities that when portia pointed out that he holds affections for you, he denied and denied for almost an entire year

which what got him being chased around portia’s little cottage with the owner of the house chasing after him with a wet rag while pepi the cat sat back and watched, purring with amusement

he finally decided to face the music and ask you on valnetines when even mazelinka joined in on the scolding all the while knocking him over the head with her infamous wooden spoon

“oh come on! how long do you plan to make [name] wait, ilya?! they won’t be patient forever!”

“your sister has a point. suck it up and tell them how you feel already! i’m sick of watching you sigh and mumble their name in your sleep, you idiot!”

“ow! okay-ow! pasha! mazelinka! please have mercy!!”

the next morning julian woke up with a massive headache

and so soon enough, valentines day comes and there he stands, in front of your door, hand made box of chocolates in hand with all the blood in his body rushing to his cheeks

after checking himself over for the hundredth time in a close by water, he took a deep breath before finally knocking on the front of your home

“ahem. ahaha! my darling, dearest [name]! it appears that a certain little birdie has told me about your infatuation with me! so i have decided to make it easier for you and ask you out first. will you be my valentine darling?”

uh-huh sure julian. acting as if he wasn’t stress-eating the night before. you aint slick

THOUGHTS ON NB LESSON 48???????? THOUGHTS PLS 🙏🏼

If I had to put it into words, it is exciting and stupid.

So, Simeon becoming human was his punishment back in OG S2, right? I don't think Michael intended for him to become a demon. There's already a process for that, and that's not what happened here. It doesn't take months for angels to become demons if they're kicked out of the Celestial Realm, and they're banished to the Devildom and not the human world. Is there some outside influence that's turning Simeon into a demon? Or is Simeon's doubt/resentment slowly corrupting him from within because he's human? I would've preferred the drama of him being banished/willingly choosing to fall and becoming a demon like the other fallen angels than whatever is going on now.

Solomon has known about this and has probably been looking up causes/potential solutions in his free time. As usual, he's being completely coy and playing it off like no big deal. Shady retirement home escapee is up to his regular shenanigans and no one seems to care.

Diavolo and Barbatos - this seems like something they should've known about from the beginning. Did they know? Is there some contrived, flimsy excuse to explain why they didn't say anything (or how come they didn't know before, if they do now?)

Also, I feel like Michael should be more involved with what's happening?

My guess: we're learning about this just before halfway through the current season because we're going to be spending the rest of the time figuring out a way to fix Simeon. If they wanted to actually make him a demon, that seems like a really cool cliffhanger to leave players pumped for an upcoming season. Instead, we get a bit of random drama in between science fair fluff.

This game has no stakes. Belphegor's emo phase and MC's literal murder? Resolved. The three rings? Fixed. The dark crevasse? Closed. MC stuck in the past? Not for long! I'm not sure why this would be any different.

This is probably going to tie back into Nightbringer's identity/purpose somehow. Is it Simeon? Is it Michael, or Father, or Barbatos, or Solomon? Who knows.

Speaking of Nightbringer - if the whole purpose of sending MC back into the past is related to Simeon turning into a demon, what happens after? Whether Simeon actually becomes a demon or remains a human/angel, wouldn't that mean Nightbringer's whole purpose no longer matters? Maybe they'll manage to drag it out past this season, but at this point, they could tell me MC or Luke is Nightbringer and I might not even care that much. (Those are my favourite crack theories tbh.)

Unpopular opinion: morally grey angel Simeon is more compelling than demon Simeon. He doesn't have to be a demon to be sketchy, or lustful, or deceitful. Simeon is merely a symptom of a bigger problem, which is the Celestial Realm and the very rigid rules and expectations Father expects his angels to abide by. Instead of making their most troubled angel a demon, maybe it would be more interesting to address that issue at the source.

The strife we cause - our morals pause, and time escapes our virtues. In sight are flaws our shame withdraws; these chimes beyond our purview. Combined are songs that yield two wrongs to lie, deceit, and hurt you.

The other side of right | nb

[autolenaphilia]

Whipping Girl is such a transfeminist classic at this point that it’s hard to review. Of course it wasn’t meant to be some definitive work on transness. There wasn’t much credible research, so Serano uses largely her own experiences to create her own observations on gender.

Of course, over the years the limits of her perspective has grown more obvious. Serano is a cis-passing middle-class white woman, and it limited her perspective. There are almost no discussion of racism in this book. Serano may have coined the word transmisogyny, but transmisogynynoir remains beyond her, at least in Whipping Girl.Her transfeminism lacks an anti-capitalist analysis. There is much valuable criticism of this book to be made, preferably written by black transfems.

Yet a lot of the criticism the book has actually received seems much overstated, and ultimately coloured by the very transmisogyny the book criticized. I’ve seen descriptions of this book as some anti-transmasc or NB-phobic screed, out of a few lines taken out of context. Pointing out the hypocrisy of Michfest barring trans woman from attending as audience members while allowing transmascs to take the stage is hardly hatred of transmascs. And describing how Serano went from identifying as bi-gender to becoming a trans woman and criticizing the ideology of subversivism is not to invalidate non-binary gender identites. I’m not entirely convinced by her “born this way” or “intrinsic inclinations” explanation for gender, but it’s hardly a gender essentialist ideology, as it actually tries to validate being trans or gender non-conforming. Again there are valid criticisms of Whipping Girl’s limitations, but this kind of criticism seems coloured by transmisogyny more than anything.

And there is so much that Whipping Girl gets right that it remains a vital text almost 16 years later. Serano’s main insight is that transfems are not just oppressed by transphobia or for breaking the gender binary, but also misogyny. That we are affected by an intersection of transphobia and misogyny, transmisogyny. It’s such a useful concept for understanding the world we live in. It enables us transfems to be included in feminist theory and analysis, while providing a method for criticizing our exclusion from it.

And the book is at its best when it analyses the impact of that transmisogyny, in both the daily life of transfems and in the media that talks about us. All the discrimination, mistreatment and hurtful comments we experience. The disgusting attitudes of our medical gatekeepers, who deny us healthcare if we are not straight, gender-conforming and passable/fuckable in their eyes. The misogyny of the media and literature, from hollywood films with disgusting and deceitful trannies, to radfem transmisogynistic screeds like Janice Raymond’s The Transsexual Empire, the dubious “research” by medical gatekeepers such as Ray Blanchard or how we are practically exploited in modern queer theory written by non-transfems. Again, Serano’s perspective is limited by her privileges, but the personal perspective gives the book a lot of its accessibility and emotional impact.

So despite Whipping Girl’s limitations it remains a very important book. Even allies to transfems should read it, with an open mind, and maybe they will learn something. Serano does sincerely try to reach out to allies with the book. And I especially recommend any transfems to read it, to help them understand what is being done to us. It provides such vitals tools to identify and criticize transmisogyny, both external and internalized.

[nomdepen]

open to: m/f/nb ! plot: pen & y/m have gotten close, possibly too close, and now pen is convinced (either correctly or incorrectly) that it was all a rouse

“Tell me the truth. I do not wish for any more lies or deceit. Just tell me the truth.” Pen despised the way her voice wavered. She desperately clung to the last shred of dignity she could muster and it was slipping from her grasp with each passing moment. She didn’t want to know the truth. It would be easier to live in a fantasy where things went exactly as she dreamed, but she needed to know.

“Was…” She hesitated, weighing the risk of finishing her question. “Was any of it real? At all?”

[onion-salt]

in nightbringer, mc is disguised as a demon with solomon's help and i thought it would be fun to draw my mc, Oliver, as a demon :p

(headcanon time! going under the assumption that this takes place in a Devildom where RAD exists at this time period, cause that's the most recent information we have)

They're posing as a demon of deceit -- a mid-tier, generic sin (generic meaning that it doesnt fall under any specific deadly sin, since there are so many reasons why someone might lie). Solomon picked this sin mostly because deceit is such a common sin for demons to fall under that they'll be able to blend in easily, and partly because he thought it was ironic.

Oliver, under the name Oleander, claims that he was staying in the human world for the past few centuries (since I believe nb takes place before access to the human world from the Devildom was closed off?), and when pressed on what specific kind of deceit they work under, they politely explain that they're rather keep that private, or smoothly change the subject, which isn't uncommon for mid- to lower-tier demons, who may not be interested in revealing such personal information to a stranger. The choice of sin has many perks, since any inconsistencies in his story are mostly dismissed as, "well, of course they're lying about something." Although few people would fully trust anything they say, he's generally polite and helpful, causing him to be tentatively well-liked by most of the students at RAD, and he even has some casual friends.

They still have their pact marks, but they're powerless now. His clothes cover them up well, and although its been suggested that he join the swimming team (since his tail would make them a particularly good swimmer), they've avoided taking any sports extra-curriculars and typically spends most of their time in the library, desperately studying so that people believe that he's an actual demon who really did live through these events -- a little suspicion is fine, given thei sin, but too much and it could draw the attention of some more powerful demons...

♕ ( muse e / twenty nine / cis man / he/him ) — did you see JULIAN DELGADO wandering around the island today? they kind of look like ARÓN PIPER from certain angles? i heard around town that the INFLUENCER is ADAPTABLE, and INDEPENDENT, but also STUBBORN, and DECEITFUL. people say that they remind them of FLASHING LIGHTS, BROKEN PLATES, and CD'S TAPED BACK TOGETHER, and YUP by YUNG GRAVY is definitely their theme song. but we all know how hard it is to keep a pristine reputation in a small town.

triggers: mention of parent not accepting sexuality (no detail.)

julian was born to a baker and a physics teacher, a decent childhood, nothing special if you went to the trouble and asked him. he's always loved his mother, his ultimate support system. not once had she let him down or failed to protect him. though his father distanced himself when he came out as pansexual, that became easier with the divorce. moving in full time with his mum turned him entirely into a 'mama's boy', willing to fight to defend her the way she had him in his early teens.

the lie begun in high school, a twenty or fifty going missing from his mother's purse each month until she got suspicious. eventually he turned to social media, marketing himself and trying every niche possible in an attempt to keep up the facade. but not everyone can be an influencer. buying followers and engagement became the easy answer, the money he made back only just covering what he'd spent in the first place with not much to spare. but that didn't keep him from blowing money he didn't have to keep people close. the return on investment was... poor. as was the quality of people he kept by his side. of course people would use him for things he never had in the first place, real friends are hard to come by when you can't be fully honest.

not able to afford college, julian begun to work in secret in his mother's bakery, in and out before the clock hit 8am. for a while he had some savings, planning to go to college for marketing and hopefully get his image right where he wanted it to be. but just as that possibility edged over the horizon, his friends came back from college begging to be taken out to celebrate. within a month he was back in debt, having to move out of his own apartment into a shared one. now facing the reality he's back where he started, if not worse off.

wanted connections:

best friend: they've been besties since high school and there are no secrets between them, or at least that's what julian thinks. women/nb. (0/1)

guy friends: just guys bein' dudes. can be multiple

hookup: they agreed no feelings, right? hopefully that's true. any gender. (0/1)

unrequited love: julian told them they loved them in high school and got rejected. their friendship has never been quite the same since then. lottie. (1/1)

HISTORY

MY GREATNESS IS A GIFT SO KILL ME OR I'LL KILL YOU.  Nobility and honor were synonymous to the name that you wore like a shackle around your ankle. Where the men of your lineage grew to consolidate power in their hands, the women were disposable breeding pawns. From an early childhood, you had a unmovable resolve to to become more than your predetermined destiny. Where your competitors worked with expected routined results; you buried yourself in your own bleeding ambition; hours poured into non stop rigorous secretive training.  You're the first in your family to defy the traditions with a proud sneer. It isn't long before you find yourself a place amongst the ranks of the World Government; your talents utilized in a highly distinguished bureau of The World Intelligence.

But even you are susceptible to the cruel games of human deceit. Was it jealously or sabotage that sent you on your way out after all that you've accomplished? You seethe in your dismissal; relegated to return back to a life that you've always loathed. Rather than to succumb to the tedious decorum of frivolous and vapidly shallow society; you turn your eyes on a new prize. This time it is you who will be the one to negotiate an offer - it is you who will claim the treasure that the World Government has always desired. Genesis herself will be yours to take. Your voracious hunger to return with the glory and respect of an emperor is all that you could dream. What will come is by your own accord - your mind prepared to suffer through Hell to redeem your place in Heaven.

CONNECTIONS

MADAME MASSACRE ⌱ MY KIND OF REBIRTH TASTED LIKE BLOOD

The grips of betrayal latched onto your heart from your youth, and even now, you have moments where you crumble under the memories of MADAME MASSACRE’s spilled blood. You were young when the two of you met– you, a wide-eyed recruit who first set foot into the world of the Marines, and her, the mysterious shadow who hovered just out of your reach. Though you bore no similarities, a tenuous friendship began to blossom the more you two worked together, until you were forced to choose between the life you desperately fought for or the one you fought alongside. Your loyalty was tested, a knife was thrust into your hand, and with one shaky movement, you shattered all that was built. You buried yourself and the reminder of what you had done lingers. You determined long ago that you were destined for greatness, but if you were to be ruined, to suffer by her hand would be the only fate you accept.

SUNKEN WITCH & BELLS OF HELL & QUEEN OF PLAGUE ⌱ PAINT ME AS YOUR VILLAIN

The three of them were integral to your success, and the echoes of abandonment were the remnants of rewards you left behind. You gathered SUNKEN WITCH, BELLS OF HELL, and QUEEN OF PLAGUE from the abyss and forged them into a functioning pirate crew. You guided them on the ways of the sea, allowed them to become more than they once were, all to help you in your quest for greatness. They saw you as Yvaine Rousseau, the fearless pirate captain, but little did they know that your identity was as fickle as your allegiance to them. Truthfully, you only used them to gather information for a mission assigned to you by the Marines. Perhaps in another life, you would’ve learned to cherish the relationships you formed with the trio during your time on the ship. You might’ve even felt bad for disappearing as soon as you received the intel you desired. In this life, however, you forwent emotions that did not benefit you, and you were left with nothing but a hollow memory of your time together.

CHEMICAL PEARL ⌱ AND I’VE NEVER KNOWN PEACE SINCE

Your desired path was always destined to be a solitary one. When you joined GOD KILLER’S crew, it was bearing the knowledge that you would return as the sole victor. Deception and betrayal were your lovers, and as you learned more about the crew, you knew no one could seduce you away from your current loyalties. Of course, though your heart is hardened and your mind is set, CHEMICAL PEARL remains in your peripheral– like a moth fluttering around a flame. She attached herself to your side, an unwanted companion to your determined solitude, and you can do nothing but try and separate yourself from her magnetic touch. You know she’ll be an obstacle as you set out to complete your personal mission and restore your rightful throne, but for now, you’ll keep your blade tucked away and nails sheathed. After all, if she wants to play with fire, she’ll eventually get burned.

ATLAS VOID ⌱ YOUR ROT IS AS HUNGRY AS ME

Your past trails your steps like a ghost. The Marine’s abandonment of you hovers at the edge of your mind, even as you work to prove your worth in the eyes of those who threw you aside the moment your light outshined theirs. Though you work to regain their favor, you also hold a sense of bitterness towards those who rejected you, and that ill-will extends towards ATLAS VOID as well. You only worked with them a handful of times, but it was enough to recognize their presence as soon as you boarded the ship. You two are mirrors— both former Marines turned pirates, but they chose their fate, whereas you were forced onto this path by destiny herself. You try to keep your distance from them, determined to hide your true intents from their prying eyes, but there’s only so much space a ship can offer. Eventually, the two of you will collide, but when you do, you’ll just have to make sure you’re the one left standing at the end.

PHANTOM MERCY IS CLOSED & THEIR SPECIAL STAT IS INTELLIGENCE.

NB: Established and Kept

“But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil” — 2 Thessalonians 3:3 Men are often as devoid of reason as of faith. There are with us still “unreasonable and wicked men.” There is no use in arguing with them or trying to be at peace with them: they are false at heart, and deceitful in speech. Well, what of this? Shall we worry ourselves with them? No; let us turn to…

My words, they resonate like gospel, Promises treasured, kept close and deep. My body, a vessel for the words within, Voice belting truths I've sworn to keep.

Yet, when greeted with smiles that hide deceit, Hatred cloaked in friendliness so sweet, To a woman in search of kindred spirits, It always feels just beyond my grasp; out of limits.
