pain is all you'll find [Sylus/Reader ★ 630 words ★ Masterlist ★ Series Index ★ AO3] It was karaoke night at Onychinus’ base. A/N: I am so, so sorry. I have no excuses for this one. It’s just full-on crack.

It was karaoke night at Onychinus’ base.

You didn’t even realize Onychinus had karaoke nights, but here you were in a room surrounded by other henchmen all applauding and cheering its fearless leader as he wailed—er, sang—the fourth song of the night.

You grimaced, and chugged your bottle of beer, wishing the alcohol would just take effect already. Beside you, Luke and Kieran were also happily (and soberly?) applauding Sylus. They couldn’t possibly be enjoying his cat-yowling rendition of Careless Whisper, could they? It was honestly hard to tell since the twins refused to remove their masks. The masks were probably there to hide their suffering, you thought grimly, unable to think of any other plausible reasoning in your semi-tipsy state.

When you turned your sight back to the TV screen and the current talentless singer hogging the mic, your cheeks pinked up when you made eye contact with Sylus and he winked at you. For just an instance, you felt your stomach flipped, captivated by his smoldering eyes and suave smile.

And then he opened his mouth again. You mentally screamed in agony, wondering why a good person like yourself was being punished so cruelly like this.

You wanted to bury your head in your arms, or maybe suffocate yourself with these tacky looking throw pillows at Onychinus’ base. Hell, you would even happily let Mephisto peck your eyes out if it meant ending this torment. How could someone with a great—no, sexy—speaking voice not be able to carry a goddamned tune? God truly had a very particular sense of humor, you realized, as you forced a stiff smile and shakily gave Sylus a thumb up.

When the song finally ended (dear god, why did he pick the extended version?), you finally let out the breath you were holding in. You politely clapped and smiled, thinking Sylus was about to return to his seat next to you, but you instantly froze mid-clap, face paling as you watched him scrolled through the song list once more.

He smiled. You worried.

Your ears bled as he rasped the first three verses, before belting out: “Hello, is it me you're looking for?”

Onychinus henchmen were clapping and cheering, and you couldn’t take this anymore. You leaned over to both Luke and Kieran, hissing sharply, “You guys can’t possibly be enjoying these murders on classic songs, right?”

You blinked, dumbfounded, when Luke casually pulled out an earplug.

“Did you say something, Miss Hunter?”

Kieran pulled both of his own earplugs out. “What’s wrong?”

“You guys have been…”

“Oh, damn,” Luke said, reaching into his pocket, “I forgot to give you yours. My bad, Miss Hunter.”

You curiously received a pair of earplugs and you looked up, seeing Kieran motioning you to put them on. The moment you did, you realized that silence truly was golden. You cracked a grin to the twins.

Suddenly you found you were enjoying Sylus’ performance more. All eye candy and not a fucking tuneless sound out of him. Thank fucking god, you thought, this time joining Luke and Kieran in their zealous cheering.

Everything went on well for a few minutes, but unfortunately, the night seemed to drag on, and everyone watched with dismay as the leader of Onychinus showed that he had no intention of letting anyone else have the mic. Your brief moment of faux enthusiasm died down after each song he performed until you could do nothing but mentally sighed as you clapped like a trained seal with your stupidly rigid smile plastered on your face.

You watched the lyrics danced on the TV screen as Sylus ‘sang’ along: Welcome to your life.

You mentally groaned for the umpteenth time. It was going to be a long, long fucking night. Goddamnit.

No one asked but here have some Tommy Kinard headcanons

He's claustrophobic. Put him someplace where he can't see the sky or feel a breeze and he'll freeze up internally

Can swim, but not well. He's not super comfortable with being underwater either (see claustrophobia) so has no desire to go diving

He's an average singer, but get him tipsy and he'll think he can sing "I Will Always Love You". Which he can't. But he'll try!

Has stretch marks from when he was fat

Can and will sing and dance (dorkily) to most of Britney and Backstreet Boys, esp if it's to make someone laugh. (Do not mention N'Sync to him)

Can grill like a pro, but cannot follow recipes any longer than five steps. (He'll want to "get creative")

Really liked the Mythbusters. Even contemplated moving to San Francisco in the hopes of encountering the team. May have teared up during the final episode (this is not me at all)

Excellent at math and physics, average in English, Bio and Chem, better in Geography than History

Mom and dad divorced when he was ten. Custody was granted to dad because he was a business owner (hardware store) and she was jobless (at the time). Tommy got to see her once a week.

Was on the high school football team (which made his dad proud) and got to college on a scholarship, but damaged his knee in a game which scuttled his dad's hopes for him to turn pro and also the scholarship went poof

His dad doesn't know where he lives now. And he doesn't know Tommy is gay.

His mom did know, he told her about a month before she passed, and the last time Tommy saw her was in a hospice. The next time he went home was the last time, for the funeral.

Tommy still deposits some money in his dad's bank account regularly to cover part of his dad's living expenses

Was approached several times by agents to model (he's done a handful of print ads, just as bonuses to his salary) and also to do porn (he has given it thought now and again, but self-consciousness wins out every time)

Old early-story-Jasper-sketch I still like. It's not because you're a half-feral creature that you can't enjoy mint tea.

Re: Tumblr account termination

So, after a few months since the blog wipe, I can confirm the following pros and cons about losing and restarting a Tumblr blog.

Note: weighing in that my memory is not good / pretty bad.

Pros:

Easy to detect whether I already reblogged something before, since I need to only look for dates after Oct 24, 2023.

Fresh start, definitely feels good.

All cringy old posts from younger and less mature me are gone with zero effort.

Cons:

DMs and all chat history gone. Who was I talking with? What was the last thing we talked about? If since my account loss we no longer talk because of this, I'm sorry for that.

Block list gone and forgot who were on it, but can be a pro as well.. fresh new start.

All fics and posts that had a :readmore: cut from the older editor and were reblogged can no longer be seen fully.

Posts that were not reblogged by anyone are just gone, rip.

My comments, reblogs and asks vanished from everyone's blogs and inboxes as if I never existed. If I ever gushed about your fic or fanart in reblogs and my comments are gone - I'm slowly redoing it all, but it takes a while hah.

I'm still immature and cringe.. but at least I start again from scratch.

Conclusion: Not ideal, could be worse. Have a great day y'all!

this may be a ' hot take ' but human x supernatural being/creature is the best ship dynamic.

the glowing heart emoji is one of my favourites, but specifically how it looks on samsung because some versions of it aren't as good and this version has the best design and my favourite shades of pink:

i love being a collector btw<3<3

[sparklyslug]

My general feeling on The Stolen Heir/The Prisoner’s Throne is that I liked, I had a great time, I LOVE Oak and Wren to a degree that is perhaps embarrassing and maybe too personally revealing, BUT. My only overall thing was that throughout both books, everything felt a little crammed and rushed. I think the story could’ve had me by the THROAT if there was more time for it to build up, to breathe, to really let things develop.

But also Cruel Prince is one of my fave series of all time so it’s a tough act to follow and given that high expectation really my issues are more quibbles
