#no matter how injured they might be. they could be dying and they're still gonna try to bite a chunk of flesh outta ur arm.

[byanyan]

finding an injured byan in a dingy alley really do be like cornering a feral animal... like, they are fully prepared to bite, scratch, and maim if you get too close, regardless of your intentions

WARNINGS: periods/time of the month

(Gender Neutral MC, they/them pronouns)

MC is on their Period and the brothers smell it.. this is under the assumption that perhaps either Periods don't happen with demons or their  equivalent at the very least Smells Different. 

Lucifer:

Smelled the blood and was immediately… 

Confused?? The strength of the smell is not really adding up to how MC is acting.. maybe a bit tired/lethargic, but nothing that can't be chalked up to a bit of missed sleep

The concern will  bump up if he sees signs of MC experiencing pain though. (Concern on their behalf or concern about appearances? A bit of both maybe) 

Doesn't comment, but keeps a close watch out for the rest of the duration he smells it on you. Confusion increases throughout the week until he goes through some Human Anatomy 101 research and reads up on stuff. 

(How embarrassing that he hadn't known beforehand… how had something like this slipped through the cracks of his preparations for the exchange student's arrival?) 

Will be ready to approach MC in a matter of fact way the next month depending on how he sees them hold up to this month. 

Mammon: 

First reaction after smelling it on them: Wwwwwhat the fuck 

Human?? Are they GOOD? Why are they not doubled over in pain?? They're not dying right?? 

Goes up in their face immediately and dishes out what's basically a mini interrogation 

Will probably ask some questions that will come off as Bad because he's trying to still act like he doesn't care about them Like That 

"What's with the smell??" 

Probably gets a bad reaction out of MC (understandable lol) 

It takes a proper sit down after making up after that Bad First Reaction for Mammon to get upto speed on What's Up 

Levi:

?????????????????? 

Is that Blood?? That's BLOOD, WH- 

Has a bit of a sensitive nose actually, so is a bit overwhelmed 

Is this a human thing?? A Normie thing?? 

THIS ISN'T COVERED IN ANIME 😥

OK SO. Two ways this goes. 

1) if it's heavy enough flow, and the smell is That Prominent, he might get a bit too overwhelmed by it in the moment and just ask outright what the smell is. 

It's… gonna come off kinda rude and so he'll have to deal with whatever reaction MC gives him for that. 

Or. 2) He never asks .. and will really just shrug and let it go if no concerns are brought up from it from his brothers or MC. Will just chalk it up to Just Human Things.

He'll still wonder, but it just takes him alot longer to ask about it, if he does at all.

Satan: 

"Hmm…? MC, are you alright?"

Once assured that they're not injured or anything, Will attempt to pry about it, especially if MC implies its a "human thing" 

Curiosity killed the cat, and he might push a bit too far if MC is really unwilling to talk about something personal like that (understandable) 

Quick to apologize though when he realizes he's pushed it too much, and doesn't bring it up again if MC doesn't 

Will try to read up though, might get a bit embarrassed after realizing that periods can be very personal 

(His research is more well rounded than Lucifer's maybe, going beyond clinical things. That could be due to more interest or just more time to spend on it) 

Might try to discreetly offer help he's found if MC is having a Bad Time because of their period 

Asmo: 

he's been Around the block more than long enough to know what's up when he smells it 

Will be super casual, and will just say things like "MC, you should sit down you look a bit tired.. make sure to get that beauty sleep!" 

May come in private to ask if they want/need anything, probably even offer things for them to try out that might help them relax or something of that sort 

There isn't really a need to explicitly talk about it, but Asmo's up for it if MC wants to. 

Beel:

DOESN'T ACTUALLY NOTICE RIGHT AWAY.. 

At least, doesn't think it's MC until he's like, left with them for a prolonged amount of time and concentrates on it 

Once the correlation goes through in his head (An Odd Smell -> Blood? -> Smell coming from MC's direction? -> why does MC smell like..??) He's Just Worried .. 🥺

"MC, are you hurt? :(" 

Lets up when they reassure him, doesn't ask questions beyond that if they don't speak about it. It's fine as long as they're not injured. 

Belphie:

Says Nothing . 

Was around humans a bunch at some point, had a fascination or whatnot. He knows What's Up. 

Doesn't think much of anything unless MC's having a Bad Time 

Is willing to just attach himself to MC if they're the type to want contact

Might have a Very Funny Moment if it comes up naturally and he refers to periods by some Long Forgotten Term from Back Then and MC is like "???? Wtf is that" 

[fasterthanmydemons]

How would Alive!Pietro react to losing Wanda in the Snap? I mean, I don't think the two of them would die simply because they're twins. The Snap wouldn't care, it would just tear families apart. And Clint, who is like a father figure to Pietro, would be too busy angsting over his own family in Japan to be there for him. Feel free to go on a long rant if you need to! Your blog does justice to Pietro.

{out of breath} So this is an interesting question, and I’ll warn you right off the bat that the answer is going to be very depressing. Trigger warnings ahead for mention of suicidal tendencies and self-destructive behavior.

If you’re the same person who already asked me about what would happen if Pietro lost Wanda after Ultron instead of the other way around, you can ignore what I’m gonna say next because you’ve already probably read all this, haha, but I’ll draw your attention to these three posts. Two of them are starters and one is an answer to an anon who asked me to elaborate on one of them. Pietro would have one of two reactions to losing Wanda in pretty much every scenario you can imagine, regardless of when it is in his timeline: 1) anger, 2) despair. The two starters deal with each of those overwhelming emotions. So even though it’s not the exact scenario you are asking about, you might find them interesting to read:

“Nothing Left” Starter

Ask Answer About “Nothing Left” Pietro

“Carrying On” Starter

With regard to what you asked about specifically... I feel like his reaction would be the same, but by that point, he’d probably have a lot more support than he would after Ultron, for example. He will have been with the Avengers for... what 2 years? 3 years? I see him staying close to Clint as well as making friends with Natasha. That doesn’t mean his reaction to Wanda dying is going to be any less intense, but it might mean that either Clint or Natasha (more likely Nat given how Clint reacted to his own family being snapped) might try to actively keep Pietro from hurting himself, whether in the literal suicide sense or just by getting into fights and reckless behavior.

Anytime Pietro loses Wanda, no matter the circumstances, he’s going to blame himself. He’s the big brother, he’s supposed to protect her. If she’s dead, then he failed her. That failure would be compounded even more by losing her in the snap, because like all the other Avengers, he’d feel like he failed the world, didn’t try hard enough, didn’t do enough, could have done more, etc. So... huge let down ego-wise and morale-wise, and he’s losing the most important person in his life. It’s all downhill from here.

Anger is a natural thing for Pietro to express at this time, because in a lot of ways it’s easier for him to be angry, explosive, and self-destructive than it is for him to cry and be sad. For someone who grew up with a somewhat antiquated notion of men, Pietro feels like there’s more strength in anger than sadness. So covering up his grief with explosive temper is a natural path for him to go down. Combine that with guilt and him feeling like he deserves to be punished for failing her, and you have a Pietro who is starting fights with everyone hoping to be hurt, doing dangerous parkour to burn off energy and oh, maybe he’ll fall and die. Just very reckless behavior in which he doesn’t care and almost would prefer if he got seriously injured. Because what’s the point? Wanda’s gone, and she was his life.

It’s a very sad outlook, but as I've said many times in the past on this blog, I have always headcanoned that Wanda is stronger than Pietro emotionally. He’s stronger physically... and he appears to be stronger emotionally, but we all know Wanda can survive without Pietro. I headcanon that there is a good chance Pietro would not survive losing Wanda. Suicide is a real thing he would consider, unfortunately, and it would take very persistent and patient intervention from someone he trusts (Clint, Nat, maybe Sam or Steve if he got close with them) to help him through his grief in a more constructive manner.

Let’s say he is helped by Nat or Steve or a similar friend in the Avengers. Fights will probably happen, both shouting matches and physical ones. They might have to kick his ass a few times or at least tire him out to get him to calm down and listen to them. It sounds cruel, but this actually isn’t a bad way to get Pietro to listen, as long as he isn’t seriously injured in the fights. It tires him out, expends a lot of that rage he’s using as a coping mechanism, and gets past it. He’s more likely to break down and cry once he’s tired/spent enough, but that’s actually a good thing because he’s not suppressing his sadness anymore. At that point, he’d be more conducive to listening to them. What would they say? It’s not his fault. That they’re all in the same boat, they all lost someone they cared about. Maybe that they’ll work to find a way to reverse it. That Wanda wouldn’t want him to hurt himself or to just self-destruct because of her. Things like that. It would take several times of getting him down to a more open and vulnerable state enough to learn that they’re not going to judge him, take advantage of him, or mock him in that condition. That’s when the healing begins.

But before we get too optimistic, I will say that even if Pietro is able to be saved from himself after losing Wanda, he will never be the same. Ever. A light, a happiness, a spark he had inside him will be gone forever, and even if Wanda is brought back to him after the events of Endgame, something will still be broken in him. He might be able to get back to 95% of who he was before, but the scarring and traumatic experience of losing his sister is something that will permanently effect him, even if he gets her back.

Now... there is one more way he could be saved from his rage benders and other destructive behaviors. Well, sort of. He does trust and respect Clint as a father figure by this time (I headcanon anyway, that their relationship would only deepen the longer Pietro is with the Avengers), so he might follow suit when Clint decides to go rogue and become Ronin. I could easily see them bonding over their grief by basically adopting a “screw everything” kind of attitude. Like, they’ve lost their families and there’s a feeling of well... we don’t care what happens to us, we may as well make various assholes pay. I can see Pietro jumping on that bandwagon real fast and helping Clint take down various mafia, Yakuza, crime syndicates. They’d become a duo, taking matters into their own hands and staying off the grid.

That would be a satisfying outlet for his anger, however, not a healthy outlet for his grief overall. Like Clint, he would be suppressing things like grief, sadness, and guilt in favor of anger, self-righteousness, and a misguided sense of vigilante justice. It might serve to keep Pietro from becoming completely suicidal, but it also will do next to nothing to help him process his grief and begin to move on in a healthy fashion.

Okay, so I think I’ve dished out most of my headcanons on this topic, but if there’s anything else you want to ask or if I raised more questions in your mind, please feel free to send in more. I love asks like this because they really help me to flesh him out if I don’t have headcanons on the subject, or to get them all written out “on paper” so to speak so that I don’t forget them. Thanks for sending this in! =) Also thank you do much for saying I do justice to Pietro! That’s the best compliment the mun of a canon character can get. <3

Summary: long distance relationships suck; but especially for (Y/N) and Grayson.

Pairing: Grayson Dolan x Reader

WARNINGS: mentions of sex (not yet), angst??????????????????????????, fluff, bad writing

UNEDITED

YUH look at me on a writing streak :) and let’s all reminisce on fetus baby boy by these precious “date” snaps:

(@trapezoidmouth on IG)

***THIS TAKES PLACE AROUND APRIL/MAY***

i only mention that bc it’s talking about graduation and it’s july so i didn’t want people to make a big deal about it

***

"So," she told him with a big sigh on the phone when she got home from class. "I did my presentation today."

"Oh, really?" he replied, while cooking himself an omelette. It was three o'clock her time and noon in Los Angeles, where he was; so it was brunch time. "How'd it go?"

"It..was awful." She tried to force herself not to cry, because when she cries, Grayson is quick to get up and go wherever she was to comfort her. Which might be good in the moment, but she doesn't want to do that to him (anymore--this would've been the fourth time he'd done that). "Gray, I did everything my teacher told me to! I added the information I needed to, took out some stuff, and I even memorized everything! But when I got up there...I couldn't do it."

"What was your topic again?"

She recited her research question as if it were read out of a book. "How listening to music during pregnancy helps a baby's development in the womb."

"Really? That doesn't sound hard at all."

"It wasn't that my topic was hard, it was that the questions I got asked were too hard for me to answer, and how I answered questions was a big portion of my grade." she was getting a little misty-eyed. She'd been working on this project for months; she thought she'd learned just about everything there is to know about music's effects on child development. "Gray, I really thought I had it until then."

"Listen, baby. Regardless of how you think it went, I'm sure you did better. Because I've heard your presentation and you sounded like you knew exactly what you were talking about. I think it's all in your head, angel." He sighed, flipping his omelette in the pan. He liked omelettes when she made them for him when she visited, because she knew exactly what he wanted, how much of each ingredient to add, and she makes sure they're always cheesy and delicious. But when he makes them, sometimes they're a little...underdone.

"I can't focus." she put him on speakerphone and took off her top, pants, and bra, opting to wear one of his t-shirts for comfort. She has a few of them, but her favorite one to wear is the black crew neck. It's plain and simple, and it fits him like a god. But she managed to take it when she left L.A. the last time; and honestly, she took a little vile of his cologne, too, to spray on the shirt after she washes it. "It's so close to graduation, baby, and I know you're gonna call me a loser for saying this, but I can't do this anymore. I want to drop out." she groaned.

"You're a loser either way, in my opinion." he heard her laugh on the other end of the phone. And that laugh was like air to his lungs, if he's being completely honest with himself. He hadn't heard that angelic laugh in months. The last time they'd been together was when she visited him the last few days of her Winter Break--and that was in January. "But you literally graduate in a month. Shut up."

"Okaaaaaaaaaaaay." she groaned again. What she wouldn't give for his bone-crushing cuddles right about now. That's all she wants. She'd been feeling weepy and anxious and a bit sad all day, but now that she's talking to her man, she's starting to feel the heavy weight of her stress lift. "I miss you." she confessed. "I know we agreed that we wouldn't get all sappy like this but I'm wearing your shirt right now and all I smell is you."

“I miss you, too.”

She heard noise on the other end and nearly vomited at the sound. "Move your mouth away from the receiver, Gray. I can hear you chewing."

He chewed louder, his mouth hovering over the phone's microphone. "Like this?"

She hung up the phone.

***

He called her again later, at around four o'clock his time. He and his brother were outside and he was about to grill some steaks for dinner. "Hello?" he greeted into the receiver. "Baby?"

"Hey." she groggily replied. She'd fallen asleep while talking to her best friend on FaceTime and she woke up about five minutes ago. "What's up, boo?"

"Just checkin' on you. I wanted to make sure you're in better spirits than earlier."

"Yeah, I'm fine." She sat up and stumbled down the stairs and into the kitchen , finding a box of Kraft mac and cheese in the pantry to cook. "I'm just glad everything’s over with."

"I understand. I just don't want you to be all sad and mopey."

"I'm not sad and mopey only because of my presentation, I'm sad and mopey because I miss my boyfriend." she sighed. "I really don't think I can wait until my birthday to see you."

"So what do you want me to do? You want me to come there, or fly you out here?"

"It doesn't matter, honestly. I just want to see you." she stirred some salt in the pot of boiling water, then poured the noodles into the pot, turning down the heat, and shutting the lid. "Doesn't even have to be long. I just want cuddles and kisses."

"I'd be glad to give you that, and you know I would come and see you right now if I could, but I can't right now. We're filming all week this week and both of us need to be here for it."

"I'm dying without my fuckin' cuddles, man." she drained the pasta, hissing to herself when a little bit of water got on her brown hand. She cursed quietly, already assuming that Grayson knew she'd injured herself somehow--as she usually does. She put the pasta back in the pot and added butter, almond milk, and the powdered cheese, stirring it and letting it cool a bit before pouring it in a bowl next to the stove. "I wanna see your pretty face." she spoke, holding the phone to her ear and with her bowl in one hand and a bottle of sparkling water in the other.

"Hold on a second." she heard shuffling on the other end of the phone. He was making a space on his desk for his phone to sit on, but she already knew that that'd been what he was up to, because his desk is constantly cluttered with papers, receipts, pens and pencils, etc. His desk was riddled with stuff. She heard the quiet his of "ah dammit", and then she finally saw it. That gorgeous grin that makes his hazel eyes crinkle in the outer corners. "Hi, honey."

And as happy as she'd typically be to see his face on FaceTime, all she did was sob. "Hey." She grabbed her food and her drink and with cloudy vision, she guided herself to the couch to eat.

His face fell. "What's wrong? Did I catch at a bad time?"

"No." She sniffled. God, she was so emotional today. "I just...I want you."

"Oh, babe. I wish there was something I could do about that but right now my hands are completely tied."

"I just want cuddles and kisses and hugs! And I want to wear that new shirt you just bought because it looks comfy and I bet it smells good."

"Baby I promise—hold out a little bit longer and you can have whatever it is you want." He paused. "Except for that shirt.”

"Why?" She whined.

"Because I bought that shirt last week. It's still new."

"So? I want it."

"You can have every other shirt except that one. At least not for a while."

"Ugh!" She groaned. "You're the worst."

"I've been told."

She looked away from her phone that was propped up on a pillow and turned on the television, turning to a DVR recording of Botched and settling into the couch, fully accepting the fact that she had to cuddle with the pillows next to her instead of her boo. She picked up her fork, sadly poking the orange-dyed macaroni noodles and putting them in her mouth. "I don't want this anymore." She muttered to herself, catching the attention of the boy on the other end of the phone, who'd only just found something to do on his laptop to distract himself from looking at her tear-stained face.

Because if he did, he'd be at her every beck and call and give her exactly what she wanted. And he was a busy guy; he didn't have time to fly across the country to snuggle her like he has the slight habit of doing.

As much as he craved her—her body, her mind, her laugh, her smell (God, the way she smells? Absolutely intoxicating. He finds himself thinking of the inticing scent on the days when he misses her the most, and it's almost as if she infiltrates his nostrils. Ergo, causing him to miss her 1000x more.)—he cannot leave Los Angeles for at least the next week. If he leaves, then that means Ethan would be left with editing their upcoming video's footage, and that's the last thing he needs right now.

"Why not? When we texted earlier, you said you were hungry."

"Yeah. I was. But now...I don't know." She shrugged. She stopped the recording on the TV, picking her bowl back up and setting it in the microwave for if she wanted it later. Then, she trudged her way back upstairs and got in her bed. She sighed, feeling the lump in her throat form again.

@ bansheeoftheforest

Aww that's cute to imagine, and que Jekyll being absolutely mortified/embarrassed and flying off bdksndks

Well, heres a quick doodle of Hyde answering that very question! (And in case my handwriting is hard to read, I wrote what he said in all the panels right below the image as well)

Panel 1: uhh,, well,,

Panel 2: After Jekyll got turned,, he uh,, Well I was right near him you see? So ah, he attacked me? Yeah! So,, I got infected,, too

Panel 3: It bloody hurt

-

The lodgers never bothered asking him again at least! Bnsksks

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

@quilna

You're the only person who acknowledged that tag XD

Now I'm gonna use this as an excuse to ramble >:3

-

As stated in some other posts I have in the "Vampire!Jekyll au" tag, Vampires as I interpret them are undead, getting vampirism doesn't actually kill you, it's the blood loss/injury/and other such factors. If you didn't die, you can be infected for years without vampire traits or diet, its possible you might not even know you have vampirism

This is entirely irrelevant information to the actual au. What is relevant is that freshly turned vampires are very hungry. There's a high chance they died from blood loss, and they just came back from the dead, so they need alot of blood to replenish and regain energy. I'd say if left unsupervised Jekyll would eat like 5(?) people. Also important note, freshly turned vampires are also rather, idk what word to use, feral? They're very aggressive and confused and cant remember anything due to the whole dying bit, so freshly turned can and will attack relatives and loved ones if they're unfortunate enough to be nearby. The fog typically clears when they're full and and healed, at which point they're usually on top of a dead body so that's fun (dw Jekyll gets his memories back when the fog clears or so, unless- ohoho no memory vampire Jekyll is very fun)

(Before you think 'hey, If vampires bite so many people then the whole world must be overflowing with them', Jekyll was also very intentionally turned, whether by Carmilla deciding "Hey I cant find Hyde so I'll just bite his boss" or some random vampire just really felt like ruining some poor guys day. Jekyll was turned on purpose, usually vampires just do a single bite to immediately kill the victim, and then drain their blood, so theres little to no chance of infection. Who turned Jekyll is not important to the story)

Now, what happens next? After Jekyll has been turned?

He could, in a still half alive half dead state stumble over to the society. Maybe some lodgers coming back from Blackfog notice him and try to help (bad idea) Maybe they have Maijabi with them who immediately notices something is wrong, Maybe no one notices him on his walk over and he successfully reaches the society doors, managing to get inside before his death catches up to him and Maijabi immediately senses it. Both Maijabi options have him taking a turning Jekyll into his room so he (and perhaps the other lodgers?) Can go and grab alot of blood and blood substitutes for Jekyll to drink instead of them

Or how about him stumbling to his own home, semi aware of what's happening and desperately trying make some blood substitutes for himself before he goes on some rampage. He manages enough to at least calm himself down and make more, keeping another secret from everyone, another reason to think himself a monster

Maybe he could find no semi-fortunate fate, maybe he died in that alley unable to wake from when he blacked out, he turns in that alley and he has no time to prepare or find help, he's hungry and he must feast. Maybe even someone he knows was unfortunate enough to find him. Brokenshire? Itd be entirely reasonable for him to be there, and no matter his feelings towards the doctor, be it positive or negative, he cant simply ignore the man with how injured and likely dying he is. Perhaps even Lanyon, who was walking back from Lucy's house. Wonder how he felt to see Jekyll bleeding out and dead, likely not even noticing the green clothes with how panicked he is seeing his friend like that, wonder if he even gets a chance to notice somethings wrong before Jekyll lunges at him. No matter who, they wont turn or survive. Just turned eat too fast to infect, sometimes the first victim is even just found a skeleton with scraps of meat

It didn't click to me that Frankenstein's coughing blood and Jekyll is still treating her, man thatd suck for him lmao

@bansheeoftheforest

Oh, littol boy,,,

Definitely alot happier then my current ideas for the au! XD

Vampire's are undead, so Maijabi would 100% notice as soon as he sees Jekyll after J's been turned. I like to think ghost's blood (while not actually blood) would be a good enough substitute for a vampire, so Maijabi can help Jekyll with that
