Mephisto brain rot

To be born for someone else.

Mephistopheles knew his place in the world from a young age. Being part of nobility, no matter how privileged he was, didn't mean he ever had the freedom to choose what he wanted in life. It was only whatever reflected well on his family. The silver spoon in his mouth could never cure the emptiness in his soul nor the realization that he could never be what he was made for.

From the moment he learned to utter words, before he could recognize food, he knew Diavolo. The crown prince was born just a little earlier, the sole heir to the gilded throne of hell, fated to be alone following the sudden passing of his mother. The young prince was a mysterious face, even to the demons closest to the royal family. Mephisto was special though. He was conceived to be Diavolo's playmate. He could be the key to reconnecting the king and his son to the rest of the Devildom.

For many years he felt gratified. He grew up next to Diavolo, orbiting to his side at every opportunity. His purpose was destined to be fulfilled, a promise whispered to him. The pair grew powerful and hallowed. When the crowds sang Diavolo's praises, it was as if they praised him too. Mephisto was so content, he failed to miss the distant gaze in Diavolo's eyes, or the growing ambition in Diavolo's heart to do more in life than just this.

Mephisto knew his place in the world from a young age. Nobility was above common demons and were expected to affirm that authority when they saw something out of line. Mephisto thought he knew Diavolo's place too. The next king of Hell, to rule with an iron fist and affirm the power of the Devildom to any adversaries foolish enough to question the power of demons. There was always an imaginary script Mephisto felt the world followed, nobody had taught him differently. So, imagine his utter disbelief when, out of the blue, Diavolo confided to him that he'd had a diplomatic meeting with the Morning Star himself, and it went FABULOUSLY? Watching Diavolo ramble on and on about the world outside of the Devildom, about peace and understanding, almost sent Mephisto into cardiac arrest on the spot. Where had this come from all of a sudden? He knew Diavolo like the back of his hand. He knew what he did and didn't eat, he knew his routine from morning until night, he knew what made him smile in approval. So how could he have missed it? His purpose is to be Diavolo's right hand, his support and advisor, his best friend.

Nothing could hide the growing swell of resentment and pain in his heart.

Mephistopheles though he knew his place in the world. He was confused, confused how quickly Diavolo turned his back on him to sing the praises of those damned angels. How Diavolo could only spare a polite smile at him whenever Mephistopheles brought news of the good work he had done to keep order in the rising chaos of Diavolo's new rule, or of the growing wealth of their class? Be that as it may, Mephistopheles chased to be in Diavolo's space anyways. He observed from as close as he could. He felt a growing twinge of disgust as the crown prince resigned himself to keeping the traitorous rebels comfortable.

Which now brought him to them. Seven shooting stars, seven enemies of the realm. Seven freshly banished doves stripped of their pristine feathers, come to mingle with the prince. Mephistopheles kept his chin up high, just as he was raised to do. They weren't worth a sparse glance, not from someone like him. The more sadistic part of him reveled in how frightened they were. Those brothers, who bathed in the warmth of the sunlight and the sweet breeze of the Celestial Realm's winds, now found themselves enveloped by the predatory night of the Devildom. Their steps were cautious, afraid to step into the awaiting teeth of Hell's denizens and monsters. A fish out of water indeed.

His glee was short-lived when they quickly climbed the ranks of the long-established hierarchy of demons. They swallowed their fear, pushed it down their throats into their stomachs. Mephistopheles made the mistake of believing they would just be content with being seen as meek fallen angels, unable to crawl out of Diavolo's fenced yard. But they were rebels after all, intolerant to mistreatment. They struck fear into the hearts of demons everywhere, a sinful song they sang that sent everyone reeling back into their homes. Even as high-ranking as Mephisto was, he couldn't look down on them anymore. Finally, the day would come when they would outrank even him.

The path carved out for him was now trampled. No longer was Mephistopheles revered, but mocked. Every attempt he took to fall into Diavolo's circle was in vain. He became even more desperate when his own family wouldn't spare a glance his way either. His one purpose in life was to be of service to Diavolo, and he failed. Every prestigious family was now more distant from the crown prince than ever, replaced now with seven fresh faces, and Mephistopheles was to blame.

He starved for purpose. Longed for validation. He stood alone now. Of course, he is respected for his title, but he was missing the closeness of family, no- friendship.

To be more.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Mephisto held the little hand close to him. Nothing in any of the three realms could ever tarnish a moment like this. His little brother. A few fires alight in the palm of his hand. Suddenly nothing in the world mattered anymore, every problem melted away. When he looked in his big eyes, Mephisto saw a piece of his own soul peer back at him. Nothing could ever truly take away from the inner turmoil he felt inside himself, not forever at least. But in the meantime, he could promise one thing. He'll do his brother right.

definitely do not think about being called tons of masc terms by an f/o. if you’re comfortable with it of course, they make sure before doing so. maybe they start with calling you the petnames/nicknames they’d usually use for you, calling you handsome along with it (‘hey, handsome man’ or a ‘hi, my sweet, handsome boy.’) maybe you like being called pretty boy too, they’d definitely ask first. maybe they focus on the features they adore the most about you.

maybe you ask to be reassured with such words because you feel comforted by it and they don’t mind doing so, but in the end they really do think those sweet things that they mumble in your ear.

(sorry for horrible grammar - it's 2 am, and I don't know why I am even adding this lol)

"...So the greatest vampire of the millennial is granting us a visit... quite the honor I say...?"

The grim look on his face was replaced with a fake mocking smile - very intentionally showing of the gleaming pair of fangs.

"Get out of my way, Hoshina. You know I am not dealing with second-hand scum like your kind. I have matters to settle with your master. So stay down on your rug and don't waste my time.."

Hoshina giggled, as his guest took a few steps forward, eyes locked on the gateway behind him. The candles in the floor shimmered lightly, shifting their colours to a cold blue for a blink of an eye, unnaturally bright for their size.

Narumi Gen was a more than capable vampire. An exceptional talent in his ranks. Many praising him to be the best of his kind. To his suprise even he hadn't been able to recognize the other presence around.

Only when the "rug" started moving ever so slightly, slowly revealing more and more teeth on a light gray skull, his attention was drawn back again.

"Impressive, right?" Hoshina emptied the rest of his glass and kept his eyes locked on their intruder while a beast of remarkable size seemed to unfold behind him.

"...debatable. But...interesting, I'll admit..." Narumi frowned. "Well at least that explains the rumors about most your... recent "activities" in the regions villages.....former villages that is... Apparently your pet cannot only be discreet but also... very effective.."

Meanwhile two bright blue eyes glared at the intruder, fixing his every move, seemingly ready to strike on command.

Hoshina let out a light-hearted little laugh. "Nah come on, that's unfair Narumi." He gently scratched the skull of the monsterous creature next to him, as if to emphasize the comment about his pet. "Actually he's a very gentle soul, you know?"

Blue eyes still glaring.

"U-huh...friendly like a puppy... One might as well adopt him..." Narumi deadpanned.

"Of course he's friendly, silly!" Another giggle. "I'll take good care of him, there's no need for your concern."

Hoshina's way of sweet chattering was regularly getting on his nerves. Just as always Narumi began to lose his patience. "A pity." Narumi groaned as he stroke back his bangs to reveal his as well, brightly glowing pair of eyes now piercing back at them. "I was hoping we could get to know each other properly, you know?"

With noticable echo over the halls the gate behind them opened.

"I suggest we postpone that offer of yours for now. It is not our intention to disturb your appointment."

With the empty wine glass Hoshina made a last inviting gesture.

"After you, Narumi."

Halloween is one our toes, guys!! 👻💀

*running after my dogs with white sheets* Let's play ghost dogs, guys! Let the trend never die!!!

No text version, description + "warm candle-light" version below

I came up with several outline ideas.. and while I was drawing I was very eager to record all my work with the timelaps feature in CSP.. except for when I didn't anymore...... I am very shhhmmmart!!! (థ౪థ)... so now sorry no WIP timelaps...

I was wondering I know Mikey is your fav what’s your opinion on Raph for 12 and 03 /gen question

2003 Raph I can't say much about 2003 because I barely watched the show outside of 20+ random episodes and youtube compilations. but based on those alone, I think he's my favorite!

12 Raph. Raph. I think out of all the turtles, he has the best character writing compared to the others. His centric episodes are all great to me, and I never hated any of them (maybe a slight dislike when it comes to Mona's episodes, or here and there from small scenes, but that's mostly because I'm not a fan of romance in general). What I really like about him as a character, especially from Season 3 onward, is how much of his personality is built around overprotectiveness and sensitivity. Like, the part in Season 3 where it's implied (and shown) that he has to step in as the leader of the group and their little family—agh, such good character development for him. You can see how he starts to loosen up a bit more in the later seasons, especially toward Leo. His dynamic with Donnie and Mikey is also great! He radiates tough love to every single one of his brothers, and I love that for him qvq

[littleplantfreak]

Okay, as a certified ume lover (you), I had this thought and decided you had to know too, imagine you end up getting pregnant and ume is like tears and shit and considering his backstory, he genuinely looks at you and loses his shit, and HE WONT EVER LET YOU GO OUT OF HIS ARMS, go everywhere with you, not a step out of the house without him, hugging you more tighter in his sleep cause he doesn't want you to fall over accidentally and end up hurting yourself, he will be there for EVERY single time you are suffering with morning sickness, and hear all the complaint on how much you are peeing and how you can't reach the floor and see your own feet and go behind and lift your belly to lessen the burden and pain on your back as you melt into him. Let's not talk about the fact the baby is born and he gets to hold them? He would melt and have a breakdown so bad that gets the nurses smiling so bad seeing such a reaction from a father, he will be hugging you and kissing you thanking him for giving him this life and OMG IMAGINE MAKING A WHOLE NURSERY ROOM WITH HIM, FILLED WITH BABY SHOES, PAINTING IT, BUILDING EVERYTHING.

Or imagine he gets so overly protective and worries fills his mind when you tell him you are pregnant, and you just sit on his lap and hold his face every so gentle and kissing him between every sentence all over his face and comforting him that it will all be alright and that you know he is gonna be the best father ever and that he doesn't have to go through this whole experience with worries eating him up considering he already experienced losing his mom, dad and his unborn sibling.

OKAY FORGOT TO ADD,

Him just talking to your belly whenever you are sleeping and see it when you wake up and him telling the child to "don't bother your mom so much" while gently kissing it. I AM SO NOT NORMAL ABOUT IT AND I, GENERALLY DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT PREGANANCY, BUT ITS SO DIFFERENT WITH UME, I AM SORRY ‼️‼️

(I didn't read the ask after typing it , so if I made any mistake, my bad bestie)

Nonnie come sit with me on the couch lets chat so much ive got snacks and blankies 😎

I do think although he’s pretty well adjusted when it comes to his past, he WOULD have a few noticeable changes because if you went through what he did who wouldn’t have some residual issues? The tension in his shoulders when you’re both walking in a city or if he hasn’t gotten a text back in more than a few hours while he’s at work? An anxious mess, Hiragi give him some medicine or something. He’s never been so stressed and ecstatic in his life its exhausting for him but he refuses to ever say the stressed part out loud you just gotta talk him through it and be stubborn about it because otherwise he’s trying to take care of you TOO much.

It’s not your pregnancy with him it’s OUR pregnancy he’ll get sympathy sick when you’re puking your guts out or cry like he’s in pain when you get IVs or shots for it (dont even get me started on the epidural i didnt know the catheter stayed IN your back when you got it wtfff till like…last year) best guy to be pregnant with though and he won’t stop talking about how brave and sweet and perfect you are or how pretty you look despite how you feel like none of those words.

He’s ALL up in the delivery room despite the horrors and he’s apologizing profusely when you’re crying that he did this to you and that hes the worst and then you’re like baby i dont really mean that but this is fucking terrible rip he knows you dont mean it and you can squeeze his hand, hit him, yell at him he doesn’t mind at all if it makes you feel even just a little bit better

He tries your weird cravings with you no matter what it is or what time it is. You wanna eat peanut butter and pickles at 3am? Lets go bby we’re taste testing.

He’s getting up in the middle of the night as much as possible when the baby’s born so that you can rest, you have to force him back to bed sometimes because he’s sleep deprived eventually.

4 for dinara because i love suffering

(you get this only in the spanish antivan because you dragged me into the angst pit with you anon. severe emotional damage thinking about lucanis getting handed this letter by emmrich after she's gone)

4. a letter from your OC to their love interest

Ojalá que nunca leas estas palabras. Si todo va bien, serán cenizas en el viento dentro de poco.

Aun así, estamos todos dispuestos para la posibilidad que no regresaremos. Cueste lo que cueste. Para mí, no me arrepiento de nada, salvo que no tenía más tiempo contigo.

Un poco de avaricia, tal vez. Estos breves meses que teníamos era como un sueño. Ni los dioses ni la ruina podía ensombrecerlo para mí.

Sé que no tengo ningún derecho a pedirte eso, pero por favor, no te cierres al mundo y no te des prisa para reunir conmigo. Deseo nada más que seas feliz.

Te amo, Lucanis. Siempre.

Two completely random things I might regret dropping here later. But I think I need to get it out of my system and maybe it'll help me stop being a whiny insufferable grouch I've become the last days partially because of today's episode coming out.

TW for self-hatred (mine) and suicidal thoughts (not mine, don't call psych ward on me, please; and it's not in the post itself, only in the song it mentions later on).

One.

Waiting for Ghostfuckers fucked me up completely. Like not in a fun way. In a 'I've considered dropping this show despite how much I love it' way. Because it touches on a topic so deep and personal to me I am not sure I want to be inadvertendly called out like that. So I stopped checking tumblr, I avoided any HB mentions, I couldn't write two lines in the fic without being triggered (so if I ignored your tags or messages or replies—sorry!). Don't know since when I've become so sensitive. I actually took pride in being quite callous to everything. But apparently here I am.

It's not like the show is the sole reason my mental health went down the drain in the past weeks. Of course not. It's just that was the last fucking drop which sent me spiraling.

If anything, I dare to say it actually helped me understand myself better in many ways and learn to try to accept some fuck-ups I've done with my life, that it might be just fine to be fucked up a little.

Reason for all this rambling? None. Guess I just relate to Blitzø hard in this way and I am afraid to see even uglier side of myself. And maybe if you feel the same way about the silly demon show, I don't blame you, I am with you. But fuck it, I embrace it. Fucking hit me with that episode and leave me in shambles. I'm not ready, but hey, I am the AT and the FUCKING PENGUIN SHORT survivor, it can't be worse than that, right?

RIGHT?

(Watch me fucking crawl in the corner and wail in like? 8 hours from now on?)

Two.

I have that song on repeat, and its chorus is what I think characterizes all Blitzø's actions. Not the song itself though. This is the case where I take the chorus out of context deliberately, because the rest of it, well . . . this is TW-worthy. Suicidal thoughts TW-worthy. Consider it your warning.

So I'm just focusing on this part.

My personal hell, I'll bury it, bury it Weight of the world, I'll carry it, carry it Pile it all on, I've gotta be strong For somebody, for somebody Put my pain in a pill, I'll swallow it, swallow it Too numb to feel, I'm hollow, I'm hollow I have to hold on, I've gotta be strong For somebody, for somebody Somebody else

It's so Blitzø, isn't it?

Burying his trauma so that he can get through another day. Not realizing it keeps chipping away from his life however he tries ignoring it.

Swallowing his immense guilt and act brash. Put his pride on display, not realizing it's not the opposite of shame, but its source (I thank ATLA for this great quote).

Taking responsibility for literally everything happening around him. No matter if he could help it or not.

He's gotta be strong, he has to hold on and pile it all on. For somebody. Somebody else, who matters more than he does.

[seongminiz]

my gripe with sky errm… RANT INCOMING SORRY

recently i had a friend and my brother ask me what you do in sky and i kinda…. just came up blank……

like relive spirits, go through realms, collect candles too, err reach eden, die and be reborn….. cycle repeats theres not much else when it comes down to it 💀

like yeah with new players you have aviary village but like once you finish the main point of the game, again theres not much else like now instead of going to hell and die on your own will, you have this dead orphan telling you to go to hell and die 🤪🔥🔥

sure you have the seasons and their spirits, they have their own extra story that sometimes are relevant to the game’s lore but those can only go so far for like gameplay since its like a one-and-done thing IM SORRY. i love my seasons still but theres only so much you can do w them other than new game features

the main thing is just do dailies… grind grind grind…. candle run after candle run… just to get those cosmetics WHICH….. i have already complained about before (im so sorry why did that have to be my most seen thing), specifically the price inflation like WHAT THE HELLL (do you guys remember days of mischief 2022 LMAOO that incident was so bad man HELP)

if this were any other game i probably wouldnt care that much but from a game like sky i really wish cosmetics and money werent all there was to sky once you finish the main goal

the world of sky is so interesting as a concept i just wish theres more things to do that isnt centered around collecting cosmetics….( ive seen someone suggest having more dark creatures to interact with…. maybe fight WHICH SOUNDS COOL I WONT LIE )

in fact, i see the cosmetics becoming the center-point of the game as absolutely shallow, especially when the game kinda revolves around connections with other people and has its own unique story yadda yadda it really bothers me (its very materialistic is what im trying to say LMAOOO)

anyways idk if what im bitching about is even worth bitching about because i will always take the opportunity to dog on tgc for their ridiculousness and greed but also this game is unfortunately my comfort game…. 💀💀

for my context ive been playing since assembly but i dropped the game for like several months on and off before i got to eden (bc i was scared LMAO) and played it a bit more for abyss…. on and off AGAIN…. played it regularly starting at performance …..

maybe im not that qualified to talk about this but it bothers me a lot LMAO

[theodditylacey]

woah can i get a how it would be dating joe solberg? i’m kinda in love with his basic white boy vibes!

dating joe solberg

you bend your head over your open homework book, the smell of pizza entering your senses. you’re sitting in the local, family run pizza shop, where your boyfriend, joe, works. his family has italian heritage, and his father owns the shop, who had it passed down from his own father. joe also has dreams of owning the shop and is a promising young chef.

your stomach grumbles. you haven’t eaten in hours, and sitting in a pizza shop only made your hunger worsen. and then, as if on queue, joe placed a slice down on the table next to you, pressing a kiss to your temple.

“ hey. you’re working hard, so i thought you deserved it.”

he flashes his signature grin, giving you a prime view of his dimples. you loved his dimples, and you loved his smile. you loved him, the sometimes clueless him, the funny him, just him. you thanked him, and your lip curled a little at the top hits 100 pop music playing through the store.

“ i really need to make you a playlist.. do we have to listen to katy perry of all people?”

you spoke to him, and took a bite out of your pizza slice, chewing thoughtfully. god, he made the best pizza. a joe solberg perk.

“fine, i’ll let you change it.”

he shook his head in pretend desperation, and handed you his phone. you opened the spotify app and selected a song by a musician you much preferred, bob dylan.

he smiled again, and took his phone back, pocketing it. his brown eyes wandered down to the open english homework you were working on. you were the more academic of the two, and often helped him with schoolwork.

“ wow.. that’s a lot of words.”

he rubbed the back of his neck, trying to make sense of the essay you were drafting. you finished chewing, and laughed, shrugging.

“ eh, not really. it’s about the moral implications of human gene editing and how future political movements will accept or reject the proposal.”

he stared at you in confusion, almost laughing.

” what were half of the words that just came out of your mouth..?”

he laughed sheepisly, and you smiled, shaking your head.

” not to worry. you’re my smart girl.”

he rubs your shoulder, and you go pink. joe had a way of making you feel flustered, and nervous. he thought it was incredibly funny. and that’s what you were, his smart girl. and you would continue being that, for as long as the world continued spinning.

Headcanon Dump for Cosmo! Underneath read more simply due to its length! ^~^/ Enjoy!

TW: Mention of suicidal thoughts (only mentioned once and isn't detailed)

Cosmo's favorite fruit is strawberry. If she had been on Earth, she would've fell in love with Strawberry ramune.

Her favorite color is yellow; it reminds her of the warmth of the lights on her home-ship and, later on, the warmth of the stars. (It also reminds her of Tails)

Cosmo likes sweet and sour flavors. She isn't a fan of salty, spicy, or savory foods.

She enjoys doing chores. Chores help distract her from her thoughts.

She likes the sounds of machines at work. It reminds her of night-time on her home-ship and of Tails. Hearing these sounds helps her sleep at night.

Before the Metarex attacked her people's ship, Cosmo had spent her whole life on the ship and never left it; since she was the last of their young, the Seedrains were very protective of her and didn't let her come along on trips for supplies in fear something would happen. That ship was her whole world.

She enjoys reading! When she lived on her home-ship, reading was a way for her to experience the world; to learn the sun's warmth, how the wind felt, and the light of day with clouds in sight, etc. She still enjoys reading, even now that she has experienced all these things. Her favorite genres are history, romance, and comedy.

She doesn't like horror. At all.

Chris and Vanilla both remind Cosmo of her big sister, Galaxina. She sometimes avoids them due to this; thinking about her sister, or any of her old family, leads her to thinking about the day they died.

Cosmo has undiagnosed PTSD and Survivor's Guilt. She also suffers from depression and suicidal thoughts.

When she's nervous, she fidgets with the petals of her dress. Sometimes she fidgets with the golden bracelets of her dress, but this is less often.

She doesn't know the word of it, but she identifies as a Demigirl! Her pronouns include the following: she/her, they/them, ve/verself, seed/seedself, flora/floraself.

Following the last headcanon, she only really tells friends closer to her of her they/them and neo-pronouns. Galaxina was the first person she went to to talk about it when she was questioning herself. Chris was the first of the sonic gang she talked to about this; later, after encouragement and support from Chris, she told the rest of her new friends about her identity.

Cosmo has a pretty poor sleep schedule due to her constant nightmares. She likes to sleep with a night light, which helps ease her down a bit.

She doesn't like insects. She never came into contact with them while on her home-ship ship, but when she was with the sonic gang the first bug she ever saw tried to eat her hair, which led to her screaming and scaring all of others. Knuckles ended up punching the bug for Cosmo, but that made her cry cause she felt bad about it dying. It was a rough day for everyone.

She doesn't like violence, not even in media. If a video game, book, or movie has violence in it, she immediately stops engaging in it and walks away to do something else.

She, like all other of her species, are able to sense plants root systems underground. They are also capable of understanding communication made by these root systems, but are not able to communicate back to these plants. The only exceptions to this are Seedrains that have turned into trees; they can communicate with tree-Seedrains just fine.

Seedrains hold view funguses similarly as they view plant life; in high regards.

Cosmo is a very bad dancer, both due to her clumsy and her lack of rhythm. She still enjoys dancing with others though.

Small S5 (or whenever they decide to address the issue) prediction:

Erlang Shen, as nephew of the former Jade Emperor, is going to be one of the main candidates for his uncles title. And there are two routes I can see the show writers to run with it.

First possibility: Erlang will be minor antagonist and the main rival for whoever is going to become the next Jade Emperor. This could be someone we have already met (like Nezha. Though it would be abosolutely hilarious if PIF and/or Red Son end up becoming the next Emperor) or someone new from mythology. Maybe Guan Yu, since he seems to be the most commonly accepted (irl) as the future successor of the current Jade Emperor.

The second possibility: Erlang Shen is the one who has to become the next Jade Emperor since he is the only being physicaly capable of controlling his uncle's power. The problem is, he doesn't want to.

It is now Monkie Gang's job to convince Erlang, who is acting as insufferable as possible on purpose, to take the damn job.

[im-still-watching-anime]

ohoho i am SO powerful when i get more than one day off a week rumor has it that tonight i will be posting a Thing that is both finished and edited and ready to be read hoho

[mwagneto]

Hi Samu! You said you like asks about Hungarian so I thought I'd send you another one.

So, I know some suffixes like -ba/be have different vowels depending on the vowels in the base word, and my first question is what the Hungarian word for this phenomenon is, cause I know in English we call it vowel harmony.

There are other suffixes like -szerű which are always the same, there is no *-szarú. This is like, a problem, because I have enough trouble getting the vowels right in suffixes like -ba/be, but other times my tongye kinda gets stuck and basically is it worse to say nagybe or nagyszarú cause I need to know which will get me laughed at so I can not do that.

hiii so the thing w getting laughed at/being insecure etc is that like. hungarian is so incredibly difficult that we aren't used to anyone trying to learn it so it literally does not matter if you make 100000 mistakes there'll still be a crowd clapping and cheering for even making an attempt so don't worry about that dkejfidmdjd

the hungarian word for it is "hangrend" = order of sounds/sound order, I'll try to do a tldr of it

so there's mély = deep/low, magas = high and vegyes = mixed sound order words, depending on what vowels are in them. every vowel is either low or high, there's 2 words that help you remember them, see below:

mély hangrendű szavak/deep sound ordered words: anything with a á o ó u ú, word: búvárhajó (diving boat)

magas hangrendű szavak/high sound ordered words: anything with e é i í ö ő ü ű, word: repülőgépeik (their airplanes)

obvi deep words always get deep suffixes, high words always get high suffixes. mixed words always get the deep suffix, there might be an exception or two but i cant think of any so

there's also cases where there's not two but three versions of the same suffix, so instead of just -ba and -be there'll be a deep version (usually a or o), a high version (usually e), and then a version with most likely ö, for example -hoz -hez and -höz. for deep and mixed ones you obvi use -hoz, and most high words will get -hez, you use -höz for high words that either only have ö/ő/ü/ű them, or have ö/ő/ü/ű as the final vowel, so:

ablakhoz (deep)

acélhoz (mixed)

kerékhez (high)

ökörhöz (high + only ö)

kötélhez, ütéshez (high and has ö/ü but the final vowel is e so it gets -hez)

képzőhöz (high and has e but the final vowel is ő so it gets -höz)

I always have to remind myself that I don’t need to push myself to make art, and I don’t need to apologize or feel bad for not making a lot of art. art is something that should make me feel happy, so if I’m pushing myself to the point of not enjoying it anymore, then I should just stop and calm down for a second. and take some time for myself. Art won’t disappear, it will always be there waiting for me again, its okay for me to take some time doing others things sometimes.

Now that my M induced high is wearing off, here's a pretty long rant about things I didn't like about the book in general (Especially the last third)

The book started pretty great, I really enjoyed the demo so I was excited for more. By the middle I was fighting to pay attention to the plot and by the end I was rolling my eyes and honestly, pretty over it.

I loved the romance (M route) and the little friendship moments, but the rest... I have seen some people talk already about how it felt like a collection of random scenes and I agree, especially with all the little times skips, it really read like Sera just wrote two separate things and then didn't know how to connect them, so "2 weeks later" "that evening" "time has passed".

General plot

The blood drive was pointless, I don't know if it's possible to fail and have your blood taken, but unless that happens, it added nothing to the story.

The kidnappings were more interesting but got pretty old quickly and I got tired of the same formula every fight. Either you choose the right option and win (And for my deduction/knowledge based detective they were so stupid. If I had a shot everytime the answer was to move aside and let the enemy trip I would be so drunk) or you choose the wrong one and end up being saved by UB.

The Agency

All the agency related things weren't interesting to me, I don't care about the chamber, I don't care about Rebecca, the new friend (In my case Tapeesa) it's not bad but I forgot she existed most of the time. I'm pretty disappointed about having the detective working more with them because I love the station and the people there.

Sin's role

Sin had so much potential and it ended up being so irrelevant. There's no way you can convince me he couldn't actually take the detective, at least if they used his moral conflict as a reason it would be better, but the book was seriously acting like he couldn't do anything after a punch in the face. "The human can pass my barrier so guess I, the stronger, more powerful and able to fly being, can't do anything more. Time to go"

Sir my detective is bleeding out and you're saying you can't catch her because she's around a couple of bricks?

And the resolution felt so weird. I chose the research route, so I was really hoping to talk about him about the reports of trappers trying to make fake bonds and all that, instead my detective just went "The bond is fake! Believe me!!" And it worked? It felt like I was missing pages, because we went from point A to B in five seconds.

And what I hated the most

The final fight.

I'm sorry but it was ridiculous. We had no mention of the trappers even considering to bring the detective to their side and now you're telling me you're inviting them to your weird auction and hoping they will be okay with it? Without any trap? Any secret master plan to take their blood?

And then when they show up you believe they're on your side because your employees didn't smell vampires nearby? No matter that just 2 days ago they were actively fighting against you?

And it would be so easy to fix it, add a couple of scenes with the trappers trying to change the detective's mind or use Tapeesa, or Tina, or Verda as bait to force them to come and try to kill them (Which I thought was going to happen, but then Tapeesa was just used to gauge a reaction?)

And don't make me start on the lack of security. You expect me to believe in such a big event there was no one keeping an eye on the prisioners? Rebecca could just slide there and free then without even alerting anyone?

And of course my detective just took the main guy out by making him trip and fall against a tree.

The whole thing felt so anticlimactic.

Rogue leader

Of course we need the setup for the next book, so suddenly the guy is happy to be arrested because otherwise the rogue leader would kill him. Even though he didn't show any fear before.

We know she exists, we most likely know who she is (I will be surprised if it's not Rook's sister or at least some family member), why have her be some kind of twist at the end instead of using her to develop other characters and their motivations? Show her connection with the trappers instead of telling me it exists at the last page. It just felt like a lazy excuse to introduce the next villain
