Mc that wants a secret relationship
This is from an ask/request from @notemejellyfish (tagging so they'll see it sooner). I went in another direction than their headcanons on the same topic, but that's not to say that theirs aren't good. They're a great writer, check them out.
Satan
He understands it
Kicks everyone that tryes to make your relationship public
He would still like if he could brag to Mammon about his relationship with you. Just Mammon, he swears.
Would take away the phone of anyone that ships you with anyone
He preferes smaller scale dates anyways, so just cuddling with you while you both talk about random subjects works just fine for him
He cares deeply about you so he'll always keep your prefrences in mind
Mammon
Why though?
That's his only thought
Don't get him wrong, you're his master, he'll do anything you tell him to without complaints
But he wants to know if something is bothering you about being seen with him in public
He can't have his master feeling self-concious, now can he
After you explain that it's due to all the shipping he can't help but laugh
Really? That's easy to fix
Tartaros is the main internet provider in Hell, so he'll ask you if you want all the shipping forums to get removed
He'll try to keep the relationship a secret no matter your answer to the previous question
He's never been in one before and he always wants to try out something new. The feeling of adrenaline at potentially getting caught makes him shudder and he's grateful you gave it to him
Leviathan
Omg finally
The shipping was getting on his nerves, probably more than it did to you
He's so glad you finally made a smart decision, the second in your whole life (the first was dating him)
Since the monarchies in whb are absolute, he bans the use of any tag that includes your name from Hades
Sends a petition to do the same in the other countries and I think only Avisos would sign it (not only is it illegal to steal people's love there, but Bael had enough war threats sent his way from Hades)
He was planing on having a secret, low-scale relationship with you in the first place, so he's the happiest about this change
Beelzebub
He takes this as an invitation
Oh, you want the relationship to be secret?
He can make that fun
He'll make out with you in changing rooms, grope you at the back of the club, pin you to a wall in a small alley and sniff you
He likes the danger of potentially getting caught
Also, just because your relationship isn't public doesn't mean that he won't glare down anyone that gets too close to you
Just because you don't want the internet to know about it doesn't mean that he'll be less passionate and protective of you
Whenever you're out on dates he'll use his power to discuise the two of you, that way, he can be as open with his affection as he likes
He's one of the few that minds the secrecy of your relationship, but he mostly sees it as a new challange
Lucifer
Ok
He'll curse all cameras to shatter when taking a photo or recording of you
It's simple and affective
Gives Gamigin some lectures on how to lie and there's that
Everyone in Paradise Lost might know that you're dating Lucifer, but they're not allowed to say anything about it
And, since no devil would go to Paradise Lost willingly, there's no chance of the secret getting out
He's probably the safest to have a secret relationship with
Nobody in the other countries likes him enough to call for chit-chat, so even if you were in a regular relationship people would still be surprised when they heard you two were dating

carlos sainz nswf alphabet (part 1) (minors DNI!)
navigation taglist requests
Tumblr media
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex) Carlos is such a cutie! He may not look like that, but I beg to differ - anyone who knows him knows very well that this is only an appearance. Carlos is so into you that I think he would do something to himself than if you were to feel bad. Aftercare with him includes, of course, lots of hugs, gentle kisses and a hell of a lot of words of affirmation.
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s) This question has been asked before…. Carlos definitely likes his big “cojones” in him. Oh, but this is not the place to tell about it. Although maybe… what's too much to say? Carlos loves how he's able to completely fill you up, while you're one big ball of whiny mass. In general, I can say that Carlos is satisfied with his appearance. He knows his worth and is well aware of how damn handsome he is. Spanish genes - that's it.
And as for you, I can answer without hesitation that your buttocks. God! Carlos is such a sucker when it comes to your ass. He always but always has to have his hand on it. Sometimes he pats you, sometimes he pinches you. Whatever just has to do with it. That's why he often prefers to stand behind you or let you pass somewhere…. Yes, the behavior of a gentleman must involve something, right?
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically) Nah, I don't feel like Carlos is someone who likes to mess around. But at the same time, when he sees his mess pouring out of you, oh I swear you have entangled him around your finger.
When, by a joint decision, you put aside condoms and started using pills, Carlos was incensed. The touch of skin-to-skin and the possibility of getting inside you, jesus.And the sight of your shared combined juices…. A different approach, however, is to end up on your face. Oh no, that's not what he's signed up for. Sperm on your face is not a sight he's a fan of, maybe because it makes him feel weird and it's like he doesn't respect you.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs) He loves to fuck you in front of the mirror. Your double view in front of him, especially in the doggie position is something that makes him feel like he's going to fly away. He never said it explicitly, but the fact that your future ceiling in your shared bedroom will be a mirror should give you something to think about.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?) Well, Carlos has had maybe three partners in his life? Of which he was with one of them for about six years, so he is definitely experienced, but without exaggeration. Aside from the women he has been in a relationship with, he has never had sex with someone else before or in between. He's the kind of man who perceives sex in a very private and sensual way, so it wasn't for him.
He knows what he's doing, totally knows what he's doing, and if he's not sure about something, the conversation will certainly not skip. You can be sure that he will take care of every detail.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying) Did I mention that he loves your buttocks? Oh yes. So any position where he can grab them or look at them is most welcome. On a doggie? He loves it!!! Carlos has it in him that he likes to dominate, which doesn't bother you at all. He does it so well that, well - you are left to bend over and wait on your knees.
Or a reverse cowgirl. On the couch On the couch, it's the perfect position for him - he can still be dominant, but still give you a lot of leeway (which he also loves secretly)
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.) That depends. Mostly, though, Carlos tries to give your moment some spice and depth, and not play around with some silliness. You are the person in this relationship who is sooner to say something silly or start giggling. However, the room for speech and giggles when Carlos fills your feminine sphere is rare, as moaning and begging him for more definitely prevails.
Well, unless we are talking about quick sex, then it will happen. Particularly when it takes place in one of the valets in the ferrari garage and there are some liquids flying down from the cabinets around you. Yeah...
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.) Carlos has luscious hair. From a young age, his head is adorned with dark, strong and thick hair. The same with the hair all over his body. Nevertheless, he doesn't worry too much about it - hair is natural for every human being! But when it comes to the intimate sphere, Carlos has to be perfectly shorn there. Some hair is out of the question, especially since, unfortunately, it also grows quickly and densely there. He just doesn't like their presence next to his penis, and what's worse, as if it should be combined with sperm. Not a chance.
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect) Sainz adores intimacy.
He may not be as much of a romantic as Charles, but he can definitely show off. He likes to spice up your sexual experience with things like hot chocolate or making shots of tequila salt and lime between your breasts. It's crazy. But that's all Chili. Let's not hide - he also often lights the lamp around you and prepares you for a romantic evening for two with a glass of wine and quietly playing music that blends with your whimpers. J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon) Carlos loves to masturbate in front of the mirror. As with your sex, the man likes to satisfy himself in front of the mirror. To be honest, he doesn't know why himself, it's just the way he is and it's over. And as for the frequency, he doesn't do it very often - if he wants a blowjob, for example, I think you already know it well yourself and don't leave your man in need. K = Kink (one or more of their kinks) Blindly? Yes, that's definitely it. Sometimes it's you, sometimes it's Carlos, but it's something he loves. The anticipation of what's going to happen. The touch with which he gently glides over your body or you over his. And when it's topped off with hot chocolate or a massage, my goodness, you're both in heaven.
Creampie. This is the second answer. As I mentioned before - Sainz loves to watch and feel the combination of your juices pouring out of you. Damn, it turns him on so much. L = Location (favorite places to do the do) In front of the mirror. Whether in your bedroom or, as it happens, in the restroom. You nevertheless have very many mirrors in your apartment, so it doesn't really matter to him. Carlos also likes to have sex on the floor. Oh jeez, since you bought a new fluffy carpet, in addition to lying there all the time, he still pulls you onto it and you are able to spend long, long hours there. M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going) You in short skirts. How many times did you have to chastise him not to lift them up “accidentally”. Or he didn't lean you over the kitchen counter when you were in them and say hot things in your ear…. Or a new set of underwear. Carlos loves to go shopping with you - and when he has the opportunity to pick out new underwear for you (or just does it himself), he even drowns in happiness.
Tumblr media

Power Struggle
Unreliable summary: Pantalone is a Svengali figure. He dominates reader's life in the most backhanded and subtle ways without trying to be subtle. // Pantalone consumes everything he touches; he is a black hole with no affection but only the need for possession. Warnings: Yandere, unhealthy relationships, power abuse, toxicity, manipulation Note: We're breaking free from the rewrites with this one >:3
Tumblr media
Business is profitable for any banker in the current season. Every year, a few days after New Year's celebrations, people can’t resist the urge to take loans and make uncalculated decisions to achieve the goals they have set for the year. 
For as long as you have known Pantalone, he’s been unavailable until the season of new debtors passes,
—every year, except this one. 
Despite being overworked and underslept, tonight, he has decided to make time for you.
Tumblr media
Pantalone’s voice is less sharp than usual. It’s the only way you can pick up on his exhaustion. Otherwise, his outfit is as clean as his calm expression is; a neverending masquerade where he hides his real thoughts and self. 
Yet, despite his exhaustion, he talks as if he hadn’t been able to in weeks. And because Pantalone tends to monologue, you naturally take on the role of dutiful listener. 
“I’ve mentioned this in our last meeting, but there is an upcoming party. One that promises to be quite bothersome. I wish I could take you for it’d bring me a sliver of joy, alas, bringing a commoner would be an insult. Not that I’d think that. You do know I adore you, right? Either way, you wouldn’t be interested in coming. Politics don’t suit you. You’re too meek.”
The words fly past his teeth without any guard. Part of you takes offence, yet another part can’t be bothered to care. 
Today, it’s much easier to let everything drift by. The promise of the clouds in the air and the lingering freedom they bring guide you towards a new future. Your eyes drift lower out of the window. Many tall and imposing buildings flash by as the car drives forward. Those, too, are but a nuisance. 
You wonder…
Will Pantalone accept your choices when you share them tonight? 
He has always been peculiar and too specific with how he prefers things. 
Would he judge your future? 
In the background, you hear more words escape his lips. You enjoy the sound of it. 
Pantalone’s voice has always been soft. He despises it, but you like how it lingers over your thoughts and blocks out your worries. 
It’s a reminder of his presence and how he keeps you close to him—grounded.
“—one of the maids working in my mansion seemed to take offence when I arrived at my own home unannounced. People truly are despicable. No matter how many chances you give them, they can’t help but disappoint.”
More words, yet the meaning behind them gets lost the more he talks. 
Normally you’d listen closer, forcing yourself to stay close to his thoughts. 
Right now, you’re unable to blame your distraction on the long words he uses. 
Today, something bigger has consumed your mind.
“Y/n?” 
Pantalone calls out to you. 
Only after he calls out your name you notice that the car has stopped at his chosen destination. Quickly, you glance through the dark-tinted window separating the car from the outside world. You catch grand doors under a lit-up sign; ‘Northland’s Delight’.
How did you miss your arrival? 
‘Northland’s Delight’... 
—why does the name spark familiarity?
Despite you being the one who had not-so-subtly dropped hints about wanting to meet up with him, Pantalone took the initiative to pick a date, time, and place to meet, and perhaps that’s where recognition falls. Surely he’s mentioned the name somewhere in your prior conversations. You likely forgot about it.
As sudden as your arrival had been, Pantalone appears in your vision, blocking the sight of the restaurant from your eyes. Instinctively your hand reaches for the seat next to you, only to find it empty. 
You frown. He’s not there.
Are you really that out of it?
Dazed, you stare as Pantalone opens the door for you, something he insists on doing whenever you ride with him. A smile is on his face when he looks down at your sitting form. You notice how his figure casts a shadow over you and consumes your entire line of sight.
“You are preoccupied today.” Pantalone doesn’t sound angry, but his words make you feel nervous. You crane your neck upwards, hoping to catch a glimpse of his expression and thoughts. “Am I supposed to be offended?”
His hand outstretches in front of you. Without a second of delay, you reach for the grasp of his cold leather gloves. 
You’ll have to mind your daydreaming from this point forward. It’d be rude of you to be distracted when he had cleared his busy schedule in favour of you. 
“I’m sorry. It isn’t my intention to be distracted. Honestly, I am more excited for tonight than you could be.” 
There is a small interruption between your sentences as he brings you up on your feet and out of the car. 
“I didn’t expect that you’d take time off for me. I knew you would be busy and I didn’t want to cause you trouble,” you admit, though, your nerves are only partially to blame on him clearing his schedule for something less important—like yourself. 
His eyes linger on your figure as he smiles wider. “An evening spent with you is an investment worth making. Though, I hope you’ll make it worth my time.”
His voice is laced with enough joy to make it sound like a tease. In the end, you can’t fight the smile forming on your face as his thumb caresses the top of your palm.
Feeling more at ease, you move to link your arm with his non-dominant one, knowing he’d shake you off if you tried to go for the other side. 
Pantalone has always been a touchy man, even when you first met him. If your arm wasn’t around his, he’d put his hand on the small of your back or your shoulder. It seemed like he preferred to be as close as possible, never letting you escape his presence.
And while you hadn’t seen him around other people, you assumed it had to be a habit of his. 
Over time, you shrugged the action off as noble formalities and offered your arm without him needing to ask.
Pantalone tugs you closer with his arm. By his side, you smell the rich perfume he’d put on. His other hand moves to your arm, gently patting it as he leads you forward. 
When you walk up the stairs leading to Northland’s Delight, you notice two bulky men standing on either side of the grand doors. By the time you’ve reached the small staircase leading up to the entrance, they’ve moved to open them, inviting you into the warm interior of the luxurious place. 
You can’t help your visible awe as you take in the entrance hall of Northland’s Delight.
The first thing your mind catches is the almost overwhelming grandeur of the interior. The entrance hall is expansive. Broad, high ceilings adorned with exquisite chandeliers cast a warm and inviting glow throughout the room and decorate the reflective floor with shimmers from their crystals.
Your eyes dart over to the walls, which are decorated with wallpapers complimenting the royal theme of the restaurant. As you look closer, you notice their intricate designs drawn with subtle colours. Small curls and elegant shapes move from the ground to the nooks and crannies, filling the entire space with luxury.
As your feet step on top of the red carpet that drags into another room, you see yet another space—one more grand than the current. 
With only a glance, you can captivate its carefully arranged seating; noticing that it must be the main dining room. Further, thick velvet curtains create a sense of privacy for the patrons within the room. Another chandelier hangs above the people, and each table is decorated with plates that resemble art rather than food.
You feel out of place amidst everything, but this certainly is a place Pantalone would dine at.
Distracted by the luxury, you only notice the woman who has approached you when she pulls out a standard greeting. Dressed in deep reds, golds, and browns—similar to the interior—the hostess of tonight introduces herself to Pantalone. 
While the ‘good evening’ and ‘I hope your travels were safe and without trouble’ passes, your thick winter coats are taken by other personnel. 
Through it all, you continue to hold Pantalone’s arm.
Between all the things overwhelming you, you realise that the hostess had addressed your company as if she recognised him. You silently note that Pantalone must come here often on business dinners, too. 
“We reserved your usual seat, my Lord.” The woman informs him. 
Pantalone doesn’t do more beyond nodding his head subtly.
“Please follow me, my Lord.” The hostess takes a short bow before she leads the two of you out of the entrance hall and into the main scene.
Being led deeper into the building, previous distant conversations become clear. As you move in closer, your eyes instinctively move closer to the rich joy of the others.
From what you can see, tables are spread wide and far enough to grant each patron a feeling of seclusion yet a sense of fullness and intimacy from the decor that fills the empty spaces. From every side, laughter chimes like a song and an irresistible warmth hangs over the room. 
You are certain; this is a place for get-togethers, somewhere no business is dealt—safe for the exchange of smiles. 
Here, lovers from rich families are able to retreat. They can enjoy themselves from the prying eyes of the public or their families. 
Not a single person looks out of place.
As you come close, the hostess suddenly changes enroute, instead heading to the stairs. 
You are led to the first floor, and almost instantly as you step up, the atmosphere changes.
A part of you should’ve known today wouldn’t be the day where Pantalone would mingle with others. He is paranoid to the point where he believes any person is out for his demise. 
With this, you guess that he must’ve hired a private room for tonight. 
By the time you reach the top of the stairs, the laughter has become a background noise again. Then, it takes a few more steps before you arrive at tonight’s dining room, which is basically a large closed-off room with a single table in the middle.
You watch the candle that’s been lit and placed on top of the round table. It is the only source of warmth, much unlike the space below you.
Pantalone pulls one of the chairs back and helps you get settled into the lush, upholstered seating before he pulls out the other chair for himself. 
When you’re both ready, the hostess has been replaced by a common waiter and Pantalone awakens the evening by ordering a bottle of his favourite wine—something that’s become a routine. Always insisting on pouring your glass without consent or questions.
In repressed silence, you let him.
“How was your day, darling?” Pantalone’s voice is relaxed. Unlike before in the car, he is now fully alone with you. Thus, he feels some sense of safety in exposing the barest of his vulnerability. 
Crossing one leg over another while straightening your back, you ineptly mirror his relaxed but undoubtedly composed (if not perfect) posture. 
You lower your head. 
Truth be told, you’ll always feel out of place in these affluent settings. 
Growing up in the middle-to-low class has made you feel guilty whenever Pantalone brings you luxurious places. You know that you can never repay him, but you also know that if you were to share your discomfort he wouldn’t bend. 
Pantalone would never lower himself to anything but opulence, so he forces you to become one with him instead. He lifts you up in status, merging you into his ideals as he takes you wherever he wishes to go.
Your lips find the rim of the wine glass and you take a sip as you try to relax your nerves.
When you set it down on the table again, you look up at Pantalone, who is already looking at you, waiting for an answer. 
A slight flush forms on your cheekbones under the weight of his golden gaze. 
“It’s been nearly two months since I’ve last seen you. I know you’ve been busy, and you still are, but I have something important I’ve been working on too. Ever since the moment you told me about tonight’s plans, I’ve been excited to share them. But, perhaps, a bit nervous too.”
While a smile forms on your face, Pantalone’s dips. It is for only a second, but you swear you saw his lips part and the uncertain furrowing of his eyebrows. 
He sits up straighter, uncertain in only the seconds before he speaks. 
“Hmm. It is nearly impossible for someone to bring me something I don't already possess. You almost make me curious for this ‘exciting news’.”
Is he mocking you? 
You blame it on ignorance.
“I would hope so. Though…” You fiddle with the lace ends of the cloth that spread over the table. 
In case your news is unwelcome, you’d like to delay the moment for as long as possible. If it goes well, you can ask him to stay, if not, you can simply leave by the end of the night. 
“—is it alright if I tell you at the end of dinner?” 
The way your voice came up at the end of your sentence made it sound as if you unconsciously sought approval. It had made it seem like a question when you had already made up your mind. 
Lucky for you, Pantalone doesn't seem particularly bothered by what you had to tell.
“Of course, my dear.”
His smile is back on his face and he falls back to his act of casualty, being quick to brush you off as he resumes his monologue.
And as the night continues, the space you occupy becomes smaller. 
The previous distance and coldness in the room are filled by his endless chatter, being further accompanied by gentle touches as he compels to invade your space. His actions make any stretch between you null. 
Soon, hours have passed, and before you know it, Pantalone has ordered dessert. One for you, none for him. A treat, or so he’d say.
You attempt to ease into the topic you want to talk about. 
“Pantalone,” you hesitate.
With a slight delay, he answers your call with a casual tilt of his head as he intertwines his hands in front of his chest. 
“Remember when we first met?”
A chuckle escapes his lips. “I recall correctly, you were but a freshly graduated student with more debt than one could pay off in a lifetime. More importantly, you were serving me in a restaurant similar to this. Your uniform was always stained from your hard work.”
Tumblr media
You make a bow, as is customary before introducing yourself. 
Tonight’s patrons are ‘VIPs amongst VIPs’—as had your boss mentioned before. Initially, you weren’t supposed to serve them. Your task was menial, greeting the people at the entrance hall and taking their cloaks. 
It was supposed to be that easy, but…
“Y/n…” The man with hair as dark as ink echoes your name. While you avoid staring as much as possible, you catch his eyes darting over your figure; from your face to your neck, down, and up again. 
He is gorgeous…
The man speaks again. His voice is gentle and smooth, yet he talks with authority and control—as if he owns the place and its people. “Are you serving any tables tonight?”
“No sir.”
“Delightful. Then, tonight, I’d like you to serve me.”
Tumblr media
It turns out he needs only a single word to change the entire plan for that evening. 
One word, and he changes everything. 
At first sight, Pantalone had taken a liking to you.
Tumblr media
“You graduated from one of the most respected universities in Snezhnaya, yet someone like you ends up in a restaurant. Truly a pity.”
“...”
“If and when the opportunity arises, would you be willing to change your predicament?”
“What do you mean, sir?”
“From what I see; you either take fate in your hands and bend it to your favour—taking every opportunity for yourself, or you stay in your current position—surviving, but never more than that.”
“I think anyone would want to take control of their fate.”
“In that case,” he gestures to the other end of his table in the private room. “Convince me to hire you.”
Tumblr media
Meeting him had changed your life. 
After graduating you fell into an impossible situation. While months passed of you applying anywhere and everywhere, you were unable to secure a job. Before you knew it, you got in trouble with debt collectors trying to collect what debt you had accumulated during your academic years. 
To keep your life from crumbling apart, you worked multiple low-wage jobs that you were overqualified for.
Then, during that fateful evening of you acting as his server, Pantalone had invited you to sit with him. He ate, and you promoted yourself and your qualities. Supposedly, he liked your polite attitude or unwavering patience for his endless questions, because by the end of that night, he offered a proposition. 
You could either continue to work multiple low-wage income jobs, or you could work for him.
As the night came to a close, and he outstretched his hand to you one final time, he had left with you by his side. 
You haven’t looked back since, and with all in consideration, it is a happy memory. Since that moment, things have gone uphill. Your debt has been cleared; you work a job you’re qualified for; life positively challenges you, and you still talk with Pantalone. 
Still. 
Why does it sound like he’s pulling you down when he recalls it? 
Shame settles in when you remember where you come from, then resolve seeps through as you realise he hadn’t forgotten either. Over the years you have proven yourself. 
Surly, him remembering where you came from must give you credit. 
You suppose… these dinners are one way of showing his affection to you, albeit it being a bit roundabout. 
Right?
Pantalone taps one of his intertwined fingers against the knuckle of the hand it rests on. His rings and the gemstones on them shine against the candlelight.
Again, you try to get to the point, “When you had asked me about my dreams that evening, I answered: ‘I want to see the world someday’. Back then, that seemed impossible. Without you, I wouldn’t have made it past the shabby part-time jobs and my run-down apartment—”
“You don’t need to thank me,” Pantalone’s nonchalant voice drips with ego and pride when he cuts you short. “I know you are appreciative.”
Your lips purse for a second and you fiddle with your fingers below the table. “That is not what I was trying to say.”
“So, you’re not?” He raises an eyebrow, either in offence or amusement. You’re not willing to guess. 
“I—…You know that is not what I meant. I am indebted to you, I know that.” 
Frustration bubbles up when you see a soft smile on his face. It makes your anger feel out of place, especially considering your meeting with him was supposed to be a good memory. 
The news you’re about to tell is supposed to be good news. 
Are you the one in the wrong?
Pantalone relaxes by leaning back into his chair. A gentle turn of his wrist urges you to continue, despite the mixed feelings in your chest.
You sigh,
“I have the opportunity to make my dreams come true and I wanted to tell you first. I’ve finally taken fate into my own hands. I am planning to leave for Snezhnaya.” 
The news falls flat. Your previous frustration at Pantalone seeming to disregard you.  has made your voice devoid of joy. Only a sense of letdown remains. 
Out of everyone, you felt most proud to share the news with the one who made you fight for your future. 
Your fingers hover over your pocket. The business card given to you by your friend brings a sense of pride and freedom. You’ve waited all your life for this—worked day and night. 
Shouldn’t Pantalone be happy?
You look up from the half-finished dessert plate. 
Pantalone's face is twisted in an unusual expression. His mouth is turned in a way that looks strained and awkward. His hands are still intertwined, but the grip has strengthened. Then, as you meet his eyes, you hold your breath. 
The man sitting in front of you has always had a difficult time controlling his expressions. 
Though, it is obvious you’ve never seen him this apoplectic before.
Then, 
—he smiles.
The room grows cold, and a sudden chilly breeze brushes against the nape of your neck, making the hairs stand up straight. That laughter… You don't know what makes your skin crawl more, the disgust on his face or that vile condescending laughter.
Shocked beyond what you know to do, you mimic him with a nervous chuckle. If you didn't know better, you would've felt like you were in danger—prey to the predator.
After a few seconds, you carefully call out to him. 
“Do you feel lonely, Y/n? Is that why you’re doing this?” Pantalone’s voice is unwaveringly strong and conclusive. It feels as if your answer won't matter because he already has his truth set in mind. “Do you feel neglected by me?”
Your throat is painfully dry when you swallow. You're both thirsty for water and a way out of the current topic. When you answer him, you sound like one of tonight's waiters bending and nearly snapping to his extreme expectations. “No, sir.”
“You know that I hate when you do that.” He stands up from his chair and instantly, one of the waiters on standby comes to his side. 
Pantalone’s voice is cold and distant, “We’ll be taking our leave.”
“Yes, my Lord.” The rehearsed reply falls out of the worker’s lips instantly. 
The young man who was unfortunate enough to serve him tonight hurries off to, what you assume to be, the hostess, so she can let the curtains fall after the last formalities have been told.
You’re still in your seat when Pantalone walks up to your side. 
From the moment you met him, he has radiated grace, kindness, and a friendly appearance. Now, he hovers over you in an authoritative, if not menacing, manner. 
Your hand shakes when you move to grab his. His fingers snake over your skin, holding on to you as if you’d disappear—tightly and oppressive. 
Where did tonight go wrong? 
Was it the news? 
Though… why?
Have you always walked on eggshells around him?
The walk out of the restaurant feels heavy and solemn. The once lively background chatter goes now unnoticed. The opening hall also appeared less warm. From the moment Pantalone set his foot onto the last step of the stair, all the workers were focused on him, but never on you or the bruise forming on your wrist as he pulled you along. 
By the time you reach the car, silence chokes you.
In the absence of his usual overly-present voice, you become more aware of Pantalone’s eyes. Those orbs, usually hidden by his thick dark lashes cling onto you, possessive, owning.
You don’t recall your arrival home, for Pantalone’s grip haunts your body like a burn that’d scar. 
Somewhere between your arrival and now, you had walked deeper into the space. A trial follows you. It falls onto the cold tiles leading up to the bathroom, piece by piece getting rid of the fancy clothes Pantalone had brought, forgetting the necklace he had gifted, ridding yourself of the scent he had worn.
Hot water crashes into your neck and falls onto your body as you stand in the shower. You wonder, how can the world be so deafening quiet? Droplets trail down, racing to meet the drainage below, and your only thoughts consist of wanting to do the same.
On your wrist, you see the outlines of his hand by the bruises he gifted. 
Your chest hurts. Your body aches. All you can do now is rub tonight’s events off your body until your skin is red and threatens to break. 
You feel disgusting. 
You feel trapped. 
You feel alone.
You trace the mark of Pantalone’s hand on your wrist, finding that the marks remain even as time moves on. 
By now, you realise it’s impossible to fall asleep when even in your dreams you feel his presence consume your life. 
Soon, sunshine creeps through the windows, failing to wake you, for you hadn’t fallen asleep in the first place.
You sit on the ground with your phone in hand. In the other, you feel the business card that’s been ripped out of yesterday’s pockets. 
Around you, littered throughout the luxurious apartment, lie two packed suitcases and a trail of the belongings you hadn’t deemed important enough to bring with you. 
If you could, you would've left Snezhnaya yesterday.
Tumblr media
In the capital’s streets, you recently had the pleasure to meet a familiar face. A friend from your university had found a job and has been travelling the world, turning their business course into a travelling agency so they can sustain their life.
After catching up with you, they had offered to take you with them, for—“dreams are meant to be chased. If we can’t, what else do we live for?”
The first chime of the clock hits and you click the button on your phone, dialling the number on the business card. 
The call goes through. 
“Beep… beep… beep… Hi! If I am unavailable, I am most likely busy. Don’t leave a message, just call again later. Thank you!”
Voicemail. 
You try again. 
Voicemail. 
Again.
Voicemail. 
And again.
After failing the call a sixth time, a gloomy feeling settles in. 
You weren’t keen on going to work today and hoped that solidifying your plan with your friend would give you some positivity to make it through. Recalling the events from yesterday only made it more awkward to work in Pantalone’s bank, even if you never saw him at your workplace. 
In theory, you can call in sick, but that’d only lure Pantalone out more.
A sigh escapes your lips and you lift your hand to your forehead. 
It’s too early. Your friend must be asleep. By the end of today, you’re certain you'll get a callback. After all, when you met, they seemed just as excited to travel with you. 
Now, you only needed to hang on a while longer. Soon, you’d be gone. Gone from this feeling. Gone from the control you’ve lost since you left university. Gone—reclaiming freedom once and for all.
The only one who knew about your plans was Pantalone. 
Surely, if you ignored the unsettling feeling in your stomach, today would be like any other day. 
Tumblr media
“My Lord has requested your audience.” 
You recognise the chauffeur in an instant. The car parked in front of your apartment is impossible to not recognise. Pantalone is here? With two suitcases in hand, you watch the chauffeur open the back door. 
Fortunately, you find the inside empty. 
Your eyes move to Pantalone’s chauffeur. “Why?”
“I apologise. My Lord only ordered for me to accompany you. He did not tell me why. Please, allow me to carry your bags to the car.”
You nod, grasping the phone in your pocket tightly. Ultimately, you had neither gone to work nor called in sick. Once the sun had risen, you had made up your mind and left your home with the idea of no return.
Is Pantalone upset? 
Things were left on a tense note yesterday, you wonder if he wants to talk about it. Either way, now there is no chance of avoiding him. He made certain to stress that by sending one of his personnel to fetch you.
Did he decide to let you leave on amicable terms?
The drive from your home to Pantalone’s office is long and silent. You know he only hires the most competent people, and so, you are left with only your thoughts when the chauffeur refuses to keep you company.
The outside world shifts by in a blur. Soon, you find yourself in front of a familiar business. 
‘Northland Bank’. 
 Ah…
When you finally step into his office, you meet Pantalone. 
He sits behind a grand desk. And while his office is as luxurious as you had imagined it to be, you can’t appreciate it in the moment. Comfort and status radiate from his occupational area, and even the obscure spaces such as the wooden outside of dark cabinets against the walls were engraved in details and gold. 
It feels stuffy, crowded, too much.
Your eyes meet his. Pantalone’s golden irises eerily match the furniture and affluence. Even while you’re standing as he sits in his chair, you feel as if you’re below him in every way—status, power, and control. 
“I assume you’ve heard about your promotion?” 
Pantalone intertwines his hands in front of him. 
You’re surprised to hear his usual calm and soft voice. 
He does not acknowledge yesterday’s happenings. 
Wait, promotion?
“...what?” 
“Sit down, my dear.” He signs to the chair on the other side of his desk, facing him instead of the room. It is much smaller than his, yet it is beyond extravagance when compared to the seats you usually sit in. 
For a second, you’re unsure whether to bring up yesterday or to let it go and pretend it had never happened. The latter sounds more alluring at the moment. 
Pantalone continues.
“I have been searching for a new assistant since the previous one unexpectedly… quit.” 
He takes a second, looking into your face patiently as he tries to fish for a reaction. The grandfather clock that ticks throughout the room feels like the last digits counting down before a bomb goes off. 
He continues, “After careful consideration, I felt you were best suited for the job.”
“Thank you, sir, but—” 
“Pantalone,” he corrects you. 
“Yes… Pantalone,” you hesitate. “I am extremely grateful for your generous offer but I have to refuse.”
“Nonsense.” He smiles, waving you off like a fly. “You’ve worked for me as an administrator for long. I know you have the skills and rigour for the task and I certainly don’t doubt your potential under my guidance.” 
His words snake out of his mouth like tiny daggers pinning you down. 
“No si—Pantalone, that’s… I am thankful for your praise, but I recall mentioning my plans to travel to other nations. I-it has been a dream of mine since I was younger. Now that my debts have been repaid—I—”
“Debts repaid?”
You watch as Pantalone’s smile broadens. He gently shakes his head.
“If I recall yesterday’s happening correctly, you admitted you are indebted to me. Is that not true? If so, do you believe you are in a position to refuse me? Is this not the perfect chance to pay off your debt after all I’ve given to you?”
Your resolve waivers at his words. He is right about the first part, but you always worked for him and he paid you. As much as you feel indebted to him, it was baseless. Chains made from nothing but air. 
This, everything, is a fair exchange.
When you try to interject, Pantalone returns to the paperwork on his desk. 
Without a second glance, he shakes his hand into the air and disregards you with little to no more respect than he does the waiters in the restaurant—always below him, ready at his disposal with a single word.  
You barely get a single word past your lips when he overtakes the conversation, turning it into a monologue in the absence of your input.
“For now, be a dear and fetch me something to drink. I’m sure the kitchen staff will help you figure out what I usually get. I’ll explain your tasks once I’m finished.”
Your eyes move over to his desk.
Your friend’s business card. 
Where did he find that?
The phone in your pocket is heavier than ever. Refusing him at this point would bring you more conflict. 
Your plans with your friend were still intact. 
You can and will leave this nation. 
You only have to remain strong for a while longer.
It takes a second, but you eventually move up from the chair. “Once I’ve brought you your drink, where can I find my desk?”
“Desk?” Through his glasses and long lashes, he looks up at you. “Do you honestly believe I’ve brought you here to do administrative work? No, your new job is to keep me company.”
When your confused expression bemuses him, he dismissively continues. 
“Just sit in one of the chairs, or the couch. I don’t particularly care as long as you remain in my office. Feel free to read one of the books on the shelf. As long as you are able to put it down whenever I want you to, I’ll allow it.”
You stand still, letting the words fall over you as you grow numb.
“From now on, your job is to listen to me, understood?”
For the first time since you met him, you realise why you feel so detached from him. You’ve become so accustomed to luxury, it became hard to look past the shimmer and gold. 
But now, when you look into Pantalone’s eyes, they’re worth nothing.
Once you stop idolising the gold that surround him, you find a dull and exhausting life filled with nothing but vengeance and spite. 
You’re nothing but a pet to him.
You never had the chance to be anything else. 
Tumblr media
“Beep…beep…beep… you have one voicemail. Press 1 to hear it.”
BEEP.
“Hey, Y/n. Sorry, I missed your call. See— I, uh… well… I needed to leave Snezhnaya. I can’t bring you with me. So please don't try to reach me again… …stay sa—” 
“End of voicemail message.”
“Beep… beep… beep…
Unfortunately, the number you have tried to call no longer exists. Please check the number and try again later. 
Beeep—”

(Posting my threads on tumblr so I can talk to fellow Akane/Rankane enjoyers, part 3) (manga exclusive, I haven't seen the 80s anime)
One of the first things we learn about Akane is that she’s both violent and sweet. Both are true, and much can be said about her hair journey.
Tumblr media
Akane’s violent side is immediately obvious while her sweet side is more apparent along the journey. She’s trusting and caring, even with people who have done nothing but wrong her (a mf will try to kill her and she’ll still be like “I feel sorry for them/I want to help them”)
Her sweet side is also introduced when she meets Ranma. She sees someone uncomfortable in an uncertain/awkward situation, and she’s the first to reach out and be welcoming.
Tumblr media
Akane’s haircut is violent, brutal, and shocking. As shocking as Ranma entering her world. It happens during the first real fight Ranma has on page, and it's likely no coincidence. Something is off with long-haired Akane... with the cut, she enters Ranma’s world as her true self.
Tumblr media
Akane’s long hair is tied to Akane trying to be like Kasumi: modest, calm, quiet. It’s Akane trying to be someone she’s not, because she wants to feel loved and wanted. If she likes a boy, she wants to be liked back (as opposed to disliked because she’s too "boyish")
Tumblr media
When Akane crushes on the doc, that’s a girl used to being bothered and harassed by boys (boys who think “I can beat her into dating me”) fixating on a safe male figure because he makes her feel secure and cared for (literally treating her wounds)
(To contrast: Ranma being stronger isn’t “she must submit to me,” which is what was associated with a boy beating her... it's usually “I’m stronger so I want to look out for her/help her/protect her” and that part makes her feel secure and cared for)
Akane “changing herself” isn’t really about getting the doc to like her, but about Akane feeling judged and inadequate as her true "tomboy self," because even if she cuts her hair short she still likes being feminine… and she’s constantly told she’s not.
Tumblr media
Just look at how she dresses. Other female characters might often wear pants (outside of the school uniform, Nabiki usually wears jeans and shorts for example) but Akane is rarely not wearing a cute little skirt or a dress. Calling her uncute pokes at a sore spot.
Tumblr media
Changing herself doesn’t give her what she wants, it just reaffirms her insecurity (if you have to stop being yourself to feel accepted, are you really accepted?). When the doc says "short hair always did suit you better," it doesn’t make her happy because she doesn’t actually want him.
Tumblr media
Part of why he’s safe is because he knows her just as she is and still never judges when others do. “Short hair always did suit you better" is also “you didn’t need to change yourself to be accepted, you were always fine just as you are.”
Tumblr media
This is part of why she cries so hard and why afterward she’s immediately over him… she mourns what she felt and believed (and perhaps the effort it took, growing out a pixie is not for the weak lol) and is ready to turn the page. But the insecurity that sparked it all remains.
Tumblr media
That Ranma preferring her short hair makes her smile is an early sign that he stirs something in her. It also says something important: he can tease and insult her all he wants, but he likes Akane just as she is
Tumblr media
And that includes her violence. her anger and her fire. When Akane is upset and tries a cooler approach, Ranma won’t let her. he prefers Akane sending his ass flying than her ignoring him 100%
Tumblr media
I think Ranma also likes Akane’s "specific brand" of violence, because everyone and their mom is violent here (including Nabiki… psychological violence if you will lol) and outside of challenges/battles he only seeks hers by teasing her, knowing how she’s going to react.
Tumblr media
(everyone is a martial artist/violent but I think part of why Akane is clocked as more tomboy-ish is attitude. All the girls will use “their feminine charms,” even Ranma, but Akane will grab a fucker by the shirt, look at them in the eye and jut out her chin, and that's "masculine")
Tumblr media
Akane wants to feel normal, she wants to be liked by the one she likes. she associates “you’re not normal” as a negative thing, as “you will be disliked”... even if Ranma means it as “Akane is tougher than a regular girl” (positive) that's not what she hears.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kasumi means no harm, she knows Akane well and wants to look out for her. but that gives her words more impact, and Akane looks up to her as the ideal of femininity (she also only wears skirts and dresses) (Akane has likely heard this shit a lot too, she was cast as Romeo, etc)
Tumblr media
Ranma knows he can be a jerk, but he genuinely doesn’t realize he's saying insensitive shit just when Akane is at her most sensitive... when she snaps, that’s her armor coming up to protect her heart (just like being a jerk can be armor for Ranma)
So Ranma hurts Akane's feelings without realizing (being a jerk is armor because his feelings are too big, too much for him, and he’s not ready to deal with them) but takes Akane's angry response as her hurting his feelings.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This causes the following pattern: Ranma “lifts Akane up,” telling her exactly what she needs to hear from him, soothing her insecurities… and then completely lets her down/disappoints her by telling her exactly what she doesn’t need to hear.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at Akane’s face. she could’ve accepted Ranma's apology and moved on. Instead, she’s vulnerable and ready to admit fault too... she’s touched by the idea of Ranma wanting to make up because he wants to be with her (but then he downplays it lol a word-class fumbler fr)
And... he doesn't realize he’s doing this! he doesn’t want to hurt her. whenever he realizes he hurt her he always wants to fix it, even if he doesn’t fully get what he did wrong or why Akane is mad and/or how to make it better.
Tumblr media
But “lifting Akane up and then kicking her down” is the type of shit that makes Akane feel like she needs to protect her heart. In a way, Ranma’s armor (jerk) makes Akane’s come up and vice-versa, so neither can give in. It's part of why admitting feelings is very difficult
Tumblr media
There’s also Ranma throwing easy “I love you’s” when he thinks it's a challenge with people he has no feelings for, but completely combusts when he realizes he said to the person he’s in love with. It’s too much for him and he’s not ready to admit it, so “he takes it back”
Tumblr media
On Akane's side, she isn't unaffected by hearing the boy she loves confess and then "take it back"... even if she can be perceptive and understands Ranma’s shenanigans this sparks more insecurity (and then jealousy)
This contributes to Akane being quick to get angry & misunderstand certain situations, as she’s expecting Ranma to “let her down”/ has no confidence that he doesn’t want anyone else (besides Ranma being in “impossible not to misunderstand situations, for the bit”)
Akane being perceptive but her insecurities getting to her: she knows Ranma. She’s correct in her assessment that he fucked up and is hiding it. But doesn’t clock his deflection because damn, what if he actually wants someone else, what if they have something she doesn’t
Tumblr media
But Akane always goes back to believing in him. Because even if he disappoints her, she understands that he's just not thinking, it's his ego, he doesn't mean it, the situation is too much for him to handle etc. And he never stops trying to make sure they’re on good terms.
Tumblr media
Also, Ranma makes her feel safe and protected. She likes that he’s strong and never gives up. She knows she can count on him when it matters most (which is why she’s also his ride or die, goes both ways). It’s part of why when she’s jealous, she imagines Ranma protecting Nabiki.
Tumblr media
It’s not something she thinks about consciously, but being the one Ranma wants to protect above everyone and all else is part of how Ranma shows his feelings for her, and on some level, she can tell… one of the first moments ranma makes her heart speed up is this
Tumblr media
She likes that Ranma protects her and that she can count on him, but she never wants to be a burden or the reason he has to sacrifice something. just like how Ranma wants to protect her above all else, no one goes as far as she does for his sake (see also: the final arc)
Tumblr media
Adding on the crush on the doc: just like this scene, it's likely that whenever Akane went to see him, her wounds weren't just physical. "I hate boys" is not something she means as she never treats anyone with hatred, but it's coming from a place of frustration/exhaustion.
Tumblr media
Each daily challenge would be annoying by itself, but the repetitiveness of it all would wear her down. Note how she never goes "I hate boys" again after it stops. It's only just "I hate Ranma, specifically" because he hurt her... but she doesn't mean that either
Ranma's presence puts an end to those challenges, so he brings her peace in that sense. His world comes with craziness and dangers, but unlike the school challenges, this is something Akane chooses to face because she wants to support him.
Tumblr media
Fighting annoying boys because you don't want to date them and fighting to support a loved one are completely different things. The former wears Akane down, while she's passionate about the latter. Just like how she counts on Ranma to protect her, she always wants to have his back.

Bonten! Koko Headcanons
💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴
◼️I headcanon that Koko isnt really into violence like the rest of bonten is and tries to avoid it as much as he can in such an org.
◼️Koko has nervous twitches and tends to pick at his own fingers or chew on his lip
◼️Sometimes he gets lost in his own head and will start picking his nails until they bleed or bite his lip open-putting a soft hand on his and giving a soft smile is enough to snap him out of it.
◼️Will make you sign a prenup which has you a bit confused but little do you know it says in his half that theres a trust set aside for you if you ever were to seperate to make sure that no matter what you'll still be taken care of.
◼️Speaking of money...Koko is stingy on everything except for you.
◼️Mans will justify not eating lunch to 'save money' (not like he needs to) but the second he gets home will go online and order your shopping cart with same day delivery and take you out for dinner at an upscale restaurant
◼️No matter where you're headed he always has a hand around your waist or on the small of your back
◼️Absolute hype man. Will never feel self conscious about him.
◼️Will never NEVER take his promise/engagement/wedding band off and expects the same out of you
◼️Not particularly found of children but if you want one or two he will happily raise them as best as possible with you while trying to seperate himself and his family from bonten as best as possible
◼️Loves when you do his hair.
◼️I saw another hc that kokos hair has naturally turned gray due to stress and I 10000% agree. My own personal hc is that sometimes when his shaved bits brow out and he cant be bothered to shave it down yet he braids it into small cornrows till he has the time
◼️With that being said,,, He would love your help with either dying his hair back to black on occasion as well as shaving and braiding his hair when needed. Yes he's loaded and could go to a pro stylist but 1-he's stingy 2-he claims he doesn't have the time 3-he prefers spending time with you
◼️Very gentle towards you. Soft touches and kisses and trying to protect you from any harm either from his work or anything in your life.
💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴
wanted to add also-koko is the passenger princess and prefers when you drive as well as wants to control the music.
Sorry this took so long guys but I really hope u like it
lmk if u want a part 2 or anything else
Im planning on doing a fullfic soon but in the meantime please send a message or an ask with any request!! Im currently wriiting for any tokyo rev (sfw)
Thank you all again xoxo

Jungkook's Style Evolution
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jungkook's style has been something very interesting to watch over the years. A Fashion style and the way dress always have an importance, at it reflects our personality, our tastes, our self, our mood but also our evolution as a being. And as we all know, JK's Fashion indeed changed over the years too. I thought it would be very interesting to take a look, and someone in the ask box asked me to do so. I wanted then to do a full analysis based on Natal Chart and Solar Returns. You can also check it and apply it to yourself! Please note that I couldn't put more than 30 images in this post, which was inconvenient in a way since I couldn't show more. I tried to take pictures that were a good representation of what JK wore every time. I also chose airport outfits since it is the most popular way to see about JK's fashion style and own fashion choices, other outfits were often chosen by stylists.
Techniques used: Natal Chart + Solar Returns
Placements used: Sun, Rising, Rising's ruler, 1H, MC, Venus, Venus's Ruler, Mars, Stellium for Natal Chart. Rising, Venus, Venus' Ruler, MC sometimes, Mars sometimes for Solar Returns.

⋅˚₊ Jungkook's Natal Chart Indicators ₊˚ ⋅
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
₊˚⊹ Jungkook's Sun is Virgo, and it makes him prefer casual clothing. He also prefers sporty style, clothing you can wear outside and inside, and clothing that are comfortable to move in. Simple, nothing too extravagant. The clothing he often wear are so more comfortable and casual than actually looking luxurious. He often wear jeans too. Colors are also basic ones.
₊˚⊹ Jungkook's Rising sign is Capricorn. JK will look masculine, dominant and a little scary or just distant usually. It makes him so chose clothing that will make him appear older, or he will want to dress a certain way that makes him appear as an actual adult. It makes sense since JK always has been often babied his whole life, he chose a style that is dark, and chose to appear a way to makes sense with his Rising. He wants to tell people through his fashion sense and appearance that he is a grown up, a man, and mostly an adult. He doesn't want people to keep treating him like a baby or a child. He wants people to respect him when they see him. The ruler of the Rising sign is Saturn which is in Aries 3H. Aries here makes sense with his style, his tattoos and mostly that JK wants to have a lot of muscles and wants to look attractive physically, he often takes care of his body shape. The 3H is a Gemini house, rulling the arms and hands, and this is where JK has tattoos. Despite his actual look and desire to appear older, JK will still have that youthful look of his, but his fashion style will so be chosen for him to be treated like a man and not a boy.
₊˚⊹ JK's Venus sign is in Libra, and being its own ruler, JK has indeed a good fashion sense. He cares a lot about how he looks and how the clothings he chooses to wear suit him. He is part of the people who can't go out in clothing they don't like. It doesn't have to be the runway kind of fashion whenever he goes out, but he needs to wear what he likes. Even if his outfits seem most of the time casual and comfortable, it is in fact his style and his fashion sense, and he actually likes this style. It looks like he doesn't care while in fact he does. JK also has a lot of different accessories he wears daily. His Venus is in 9H, he has an appearance that doesn't fit the Korean standards, despite that many other Koreans have tattoos and piercings, it is not considered something well seen in the country. More because JK is an idol. He made a revolutionary move by having so much tattoos, showing them freely. Even with his style.
₊˚⊹ JK's Mars sign is in Scorpio, making a lot of sense with the way he dresses. He looks very good in black and dark clothing. He likes the pull off the "Bad Boy" style and it is actually a good idea since it goes well with his Mars sign. He is very attractive and sexier in this outfits, not because of the style itself, but because it goes well with the placement. Dressing according to its Venus style is important but Mars is also very important since it will make you look good and attractive in the eyes of others. JK before used to dress in a much more casual and comfy style like his Sun sign. It suited him well but ever since he started to dress along his Mars sign, you can see his self confidence is higher. Piercings, showing much more his body shape, dark & black clothing, excellent choices. He owns the mysterious and hot guy style. His Tattoos, despite being his personal choices, actually also goes well with his style.
₊˚⊹ JK's MC is Libra, which represents his reputation. JK has the reputation to have a good fashion sense, he explored different styles, yet he knows how to dress well. He is considered as one of the best members of BTS to dress for airport style for example. He also has a good way to dress usually, and always seems to appear very good looking wherever he goes. Whatever he pulls off will suit him.
₊˚⊹ JK has a 1H & 8H stellium, which makes sense since he always stated that his body and appearance mattered much to him. He is often seen working out, and taking care of his appearance. He wants to look good, he also likes to be praised for how he looks, fashion wise but also just also about his body shape. The 8H stellium is clearly a big indicators about how people see him. JK's Neptune 1H first indicate people see him in a way that is not 100% true, they desire him for how he looks, but not actually him as a person. Having a 8H stellium makes JK appear very desirable for most people. He looks hot, sexy, mysterious, just someone people are obsessed with.
Tumblr media
⋅˚₊ Jungkook's Natal Chart Indicators ₊˚ ⋅
જ⁀➴ SRC 2015-2016
Tumblr media Tumblr media
₊˚⊹ This year, JK was Gemini Rising. This made him dressed in many different colors, and style. He wasn't afraid to mix colors, and mostly was dressing in a more colorful and joyful way. It was also a year of self discovery fashion wise, as JK sometimes wore black, and sometimes colorful outfits. With the 20° (Scorpio), we can see how JK was very shy about his appearance, his body language in most pictures that year made it obvious he was shy. He may also dressed in a way that made him look normal, basic, not extra to make him stand out. Despite also being young that year (He was 2017 years old), his Gemini rising also makes him dresses in a "childlike" fashion style, meaning he dresses as people his age, or with clothing that made him appear younger.
₊˚⊹ Fashion this year was indeed very colorful for men, it was also a year with simple clothing: a jacket, a skinny jean, a simple t-shirt. And backpacks seemed to be also pretty popular, something JK was often wearing that year. Cargo pants were also an iconic fashion trend that year, and JK didn't miss it. This style was similar to the Skater Boy, often wearing beanies too, pretty popular for men and boys around that year.
₊˚⊹ This year's Venus was Leo 3H, again a Gemini placement. With Leo Venus, Fashion could have been really important for him this year, he may have cared a lot. Being in the 3H, it must have been a way to express himself, maybe expressed his mood of the day.
₊˚⊹ Venus' Ruler is the Sun, being in 4H. He may have wanted to dress very much like Korean's Fashion this year, following trends and not wanting to stand out in his own style much. The Scorpio degree on the Sun also make sense, JK didn't seem to be very confident in his appearance, he so didn't want people to notice him much in his fashion style. What he wore was very simple.
જ⁀➴ SRC 2016-2017
Tumblr media Tumblr media
₊˚⊹ For this year, JK was Virgo Rising, his fashion style was clear, neat, he was always very well dressed, every accessories making a perfect sense. He started dressing with neutral colors such as Black, dark colors, white, beige, and also often wore Jeans. Very casual fashion style. The 5° on his rising sign makes him have a good fashion style, it's not only casual, you can see that JK has a big interest in Fashion this year. The way he dresses felt like it actually mattered to him. It also makes him in touch with trends and the fashion world, as the way JK dresses was very similar to the trends of that time, despite JK wearing a more "casual" look.
₊˚⊹ JK's 1H Stellium also explains how he got a glow up this year, his appearance really mattered this year to him. Moreover, the Sun is in there, making it really obvious how important it was. His Fashion style was part of his identity.
₊˚⊹ Venus was in Libra 2H this year, with also the ruler being in its home. It was very obvious JK was really into fashion this year, dressing very well. That year, JK wore a lot of skinny jeans, showing his tights and hips very much. He wore casual yet luxurious outfits, which is very logical to me since the venus is in a Taurus House but also with a Taurus degree.
જ⁀➴ SRC 2017-2018

₊˚⊹ The way I just laugh out loud when I saw his SRC this year. It is just so obvious. This is the year JK started to dress in black mostly, Black and White were his only go to Fashion Style. Even jeans were black. This can be easily explained with his Scorpio Rising this year. JK also often wore a leather Jacker, which is such a Scorpio thing to me. It gives me bad boy style tbh. I don't wanna sound cliché tho. With the Cancer degree on the rising, JK indeed followed fashion Trends from Korea this year, Black was seen often and was a popular color (if I can say color).
₊˚⊹ Venus is once again in Leo this year, in 9H. Fashion style could have been also inspired from foreign lands, where indeed leather jackets was a trend. Having more dark colors on their outfits was something that we could often see. Fashion was also very important this year. JK was indeed popular for his bad boy look he wore. The Libra degree on the Venus made him always have a proper look, always looking very well out and harmonious. Being in 9H makes sense since his Fashion look were often popular when he was at the airport.
₊˚⊹ The Ruler is the Sun in 10H, and the MC being in Leo makes a lot of sense to me. Around those years, JK's fashion sense became very popular and his fashion style was part of his good reputation. He was popular for his fashion sense, the way he wore, but also how his fashion made him appear. People were going crazy and often called JK "hot", "sexy", etc. Coming back to the Scorpio Rising, this can also be explained as to why. That made him indeed appear as sexy, hot, and mysterious. People were obsessed with his look. The MC being in an Aquarius degree makes a lot of sense, JK was very popular for his fashion and his appearance online from this year.
જ⁀➴ SRC 2018-2019
Tumblr media Tumblr media
₊˚⊹ This year, JK was Aquarius rising. It was very interesting since to me having Aquarius rising makes us look very unique, avant-garde and maybe even following our own fashion style without caring much about trends. JK this year continued to wore black often. Most of his outfits were that colors. He was often wearing clothings the he liked, not caring much about fashion itself compared the the previous years. He was more into comfortable clothing this year than fashion itself.
₊˚⊹ Fashion this year was actually pretty colorful on the runways. Despite the clothing were also comfortable for men, fashion was still around skinny jeans, simple t-shirts, etc. So JK actually dressed different from most of the fashion trends this year. He was still into fashion, but maybe detached himself from the fashion trends and started to go on a self-journey. He was finally finding his own style.
₊˚⊹ Venus this year was in Libra 8H. The darker color, even just black makes sense since it is in the 8H. JK was seen more often hiding his face, letting his bangs being long, often wearing hats and caps that were almost hiding his face. Fashion was still part of him, and he dressed well according to his body type and his tastes. Moreover, MC this year was in Scorpio, which makes a lot go sense.
જ⁀➴ SRC 2019-2020
Tumblr media Tumblr media
₊˚⊹ This year was a brand new beginning for JK as he started to get Tattoos, the first ones on his hands. Funny thing since this year, JK was Gemini rising. And Gemini rules also over the hands but also the arms, and JK also had some more tattoos later in 2020, on the arms.
₊˚⊹ This year, JK was so Gemini Rising with a 9°. Despite Black was still being his go to color, he was wearing clothings with different style. He was also known for his iconic hairstyle this year (the curly hair), that people created the Dora meme with. He was wearing a sporty casual style, with big clothing that made him look tiny. He could wear very casual and good outfits and the next time wear a very casual and sporty outfit. It seemed like he cared and other times he was just wanting to wear more comfortable clothing.
₊˚⊹ Venus this year is in Virgo 4H, his style was very casual, and very everyday style. It was a style which was comfortable and you could wear everyday. The Ruler is in the same sign and house, which adds to the fact JK really wanted it to be comfy and without any extra. He was also wearing a lot of oversized clothing this year again, which add more comfort.
જ⁀➴ SRC 2020-2021
Tumblr media Tumblr media
₊˚⊹ For 2020, JK was Leo Rising with Aries degree. JK wasn't wearing much on his heads this year, often wanting to show up with different hairstyles. His Fashion was more "fashionable" than comfortable this year. He often expressed his own style and give more importance to his clothing style. Patterns appeared much more than last year. While JK was always wearing simple clothing before, he showed more patterns from this SRC.
₊˚⊹ The Venus was in Cancer 11H, JK was still wearing comfortable clothings. He was still on finding his own style as the way he was dressing wasn't that seen on the runway. He was using trends in the way he wanted to wear them. For example, the plaid pattern was seen often on runways this year, and JK also wear those, but in a more casual manner, in a more comfortable manner.
₊˚⊹ Since his Venus's ruler is the Moon, it is in Aquarius 6H, comfortable clothing, and preferring to wear his own style. I think it's over these years JK really imposed his own style. He knew he was into comfortable and casual clothing, but I feel like it's around the beginning of 2020's that his fashion style really became his.
જ⁀➴ SRC 2021-2022
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
₊˚⊹ This year is really iconic to me, it is the years JK's QG's photoshoot went out and it was viral. An icon. His Rising this year was Scorpio 8°, full Scorpio. If you want to know more about the photoshoot, I advise you to take a look because it's the best representation of this rising. This year JK looked mysterious, often once again wearing black and not much patterns. He sometimes wore some but not much. He was mostly in plain black and mostly showing much more his abs and body shapes with his clothing. He was full on the piercings and tattoos. It was truly the bad boy style this year, it also reminds me of the Hongdae Men lol.
₊˚⊹ His Venus was Libra 12H, and I remember that JK's shoes collection was wild this year, people were often posting and discussing about his shoes. Since Pisces/ 12H rules over the feet, it makes a lot of sense. Coming back, indeed JK's sense of fashion was wild, and he was often seen posing for photoshoots. His Leo MC makes a lot of sense.
₊˚⊹ His rising's rulers were Mars (11H) and Pluto (3H), JK's fashion was very popular online this year too, he was still in his own style and not caring much about most of trends, he was wearing what he wanted, and I almost want to say he was the creator of trends. He was versatile, going to comfy to luxurious style. He could pull everything off!
જ⁀➴ SRC 2022-2023
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Didn't include 2023-2024 since JK is currently in Military.
₊˚⊹ This year JK was Capricorn Rising. His style was def more dominant. The way he appeared was always was very masculine too, showing much more his skin, abs, and body. Even in photoshoots, he wasn't just trying to show his fashion sense, it was also about the vibe he wanted to give to people. During this SRC, Seven went out and I suggest you to look at the photoshoot of the album... :) Saturn being the Rising's ruler, is in the 1H, making it obvious JK wanted to show a strong appearance, proving to people he is not a child anymore.
₊˚⊹ The Venus was in Leo 7H, JK was wearing a good fashion style still. It was still his iconic look but he looked very attractive because of his good style. JK's fashion this year was less sporty and comfy, it was more about the actual fashion. He was wearing jeans and casual attire yet it was similar to the SRC 2016-2017. His clothing and fashion were really well put together and accessories were often seen on him. Not only his piercings, but necklaces and beanies too.
₊˚⊹ Venus ruler is the Sun which is in 8H,JK had a mysterious, sexy and hot aura once again this year. He was showing more his body and even while working he chose a style that looked like that. He also started to do a photoshoot for Calvin Klein this year, which was iconic to me. It was the first time people were actually seeing JK's abs. The photoshoot shows JK's persona, as a dark bad boy (he loves that style). It actually suits the MC, his reputation was someone hot, sexy and mostly a man that was really desired.

Bring Me Home Arc 2 Part 7
We're a day late for WIP Wednesday, but I was wiped after the work shifts from hell the last two days. But today and tomorrow I'm off so I'm back on track! No work next Wednesday, either, so I should be good to go next week. Because I'm a day late, you get a long one today!
Story Summary: Tim and Danny are both neglected by parents who care more about their work than their families. They deal with this by spending too much time online and find each other playing MMORPGs. They keep up their friendship as Tim becomes Robin and Danny becomes Phantom and don't bother keeping secrets from each other.
First, Previous
Word Count: 1.9k

Still not entirely comfortable, Tim finally stepped into the lab. On the far wall, behind yellow and black doors was the portal he’d heard so much about.
Danny followed his gaze and put a hand on his arm. “Come on, Tim. The weapons vault is over here.”
Tim nodded once. “What do you have?”
“Everything.” Danny placed his hand over a scanner next to the door and it beeped and opened. “You like staffs, right? Try this out.”
Danny passed him a silver metal staff just a bit longer than his favored weapon. Tim took it and ran through two of his warm up exercises. The balance was excellent and he picked up the pace. If it wasn’t for the color scheme, he’d consider using one as his own backup.
“This is great. It’s effective against ghosts?”
“Yep. The Fenton Rod.” Danny reached out for it and Tim gave it back. “And if you do this—” he twisted and the staff separated into two “—you’ve got two weapons.”
He passed the two halves back to Tim who ran through a few more attacks and blocks with them. He had enough practice with Dick’s escrima sticks to hold his own. “This is perfect, thanks.”
“Now, the rest of you, would you prefer distance weapons or close up?”
Tim backed away from the vault to allow the others to explore their options. He spent the time practicing on connecting and separating the staff—he would not call it the Fenton Rod, even in his own head—and running through a few more complicated patterns with it to make sure he was familiar with it’s weight.
“You’re really good with that,” commented Sam who was watching him.
Tim shrugged fixed a self-conscious smile to his face. “It’s always good to know self defense when you live in Gotham. And Bruce is more particular about it than most.”
“Really? I thought he was a vapid idiot.”
“Oh, he is,” agreed Tim. “But he loves his kids and knows us being linked to him puts us in danger. So he goes to extremes to make sure we can hold our own when trouble arises.”
Before Sam could reply, Danny called out to them, “Hey, Tim! Do you want a long range weapon as well?”
“Sure. What do you have?”
So he joined as Danny showed them several blasters and lasers that they could use. Tim pulled out a small one that could be used single-handed.
“This is good for me.”
Cassie and Conner chose heavier weapons with more range and attack power, though Bart followed Tim’s lead.
“Okay, now that that’s done. Ready to practice ways to get a ghost out of a human?”
The emphatic agreement from every member of Tim’s team seemed to surprise Sam and Tucker but Danny just laughed.
“Sam, Tucker, which of you wants to volunteer?”
The two exchanged a look and Tucker sighed and stood up. “I’ll do it.”
“Thanks, Tuck. So, I’m gonna overshadow Tucker and go over the signs of overshadowing. They’re mostly pretty subtle if you don’t know the person. A ghost has no access to the memories or thoughts of the person they’re overshadowing, so behavior will be off. Then, if Tim is okay with it, I’ll overshadow him so he can explain how it feels to the rest of you. And I’d appreciate it if at least one of you metas will let me overshadow you so we can make sure the methods that work on baseline humans also work with you.”
Conner looked at Tim. “You trust him?”
Tim nodded. “Have since I was eleven.”
“I’ll do it, then.”
Danny grinned. “Great! Tucker, you first.” And with that, Danny transformed and flew right into Tucker’s body.
Tim watched closely as Tucker went rigid for a moment before resuming his casual slouch. “Tucker isn’t present at all right now,” said Tucker. Then his eyes flared green. “Any time a ghost uses their powers while overshadowing someone, the eyes’ll change. So look for that. Changes in behavior if you know the person are also a dead giveaway. Most ghosts haven’t been on earth in a long time, so another sign is being unused to Earth customs. Especially modern ones. But really, the eyes are your best bet. Get a ghost emotional and they can’t hold it back. Now, Sam, force me out!”
Sam grinned. “With pleasure.” She held up a thermos. “Best way is to use a thermos. It contains the ghost and prevents them from further attacks. To use, you simply remove the cap, point the opening at the ghost or overshadowed person in question, and press the button.” She did and a beam of blue light hit Tucker. Danny was pulled out and sucked into the thermos. Sam recapped the device and spun it in her hands.
Tucker held his head and groaned. “How long was he in me for?”
“Like thirty seconds, Tuck. Don’t be dramatic,” replied Sam.
“Does it hurt?” asked Cassie.
Tucker shook his head. “Minor headache immediately post overshadowing that fades in less than a minute. You don’t have any memory of the time you were overshadowed, so some disorientation if your location changed or a lot of time has passed is also normal. Maybe some vague impressions, like from a dream you can’t quite remember.”
“Ready for take two?” asked Sam.
Tucker rolled his eyes, but waved a hand around in agreement.
“So, to release a ghost from a thermos, you press the button that says ‘release.’ Super easy.” She did so, letting out another beam of light and when it cleared, Danny was floating before them.
“Does being in the thermos hurt?” asked Conner.
Danny shook his head and grinned. “Nah. Feels like you’re wrapped up in a heavy blanket. So sometimes it’s nice and sometimes it’s claustrophobic and I’m desperate to get out.”
Tim hummed. “How many ghosts can you fit in one thermos?”
Danny shrugged. “Not sure. Quite a few, but I’ve never pushed the limits. I think six or seven is the most we’ve done. Maybe more if it’s just ectopusses and blob ghosts I’m trying to clear out of my parents’ way.”
“Ectopusses?” asked Cassie.
At the same time, Bart asked, “Blob ghosts?”
Danny laughed. “I think there’s something to the hypothesis that octopusses have as much intelligence as a person. So many of them become ghosts. And they’re super curious. I think they like to explore places on land because it’s so different from the oceans they lived in. And blob ghosts are just what they sound like. Shapeless ghosts that are usually less than a foot large and don’t appear to have any cognitive power.”
Tim had a dozen questions he wanted to ask, but the news report going in the background was a constant reminder that they didn’t have time. “How else can you end an overshadowing?”
Danny nodded and flew back into Tucker.
Sam went over the different weapons they had that could be safely used on an overshadowed human. The small blasters were the easiest and caused no injury to the host. Tim’s staff was also effective, though it could leave bruises.
Finally, they’d each managed to get Danny out of Tucker three different ways each. He couldn’t even say a thermos was the weirdest thing he’d ever used as a weapon, though the fact that it had been designed as a weapon was certainly novel.
“So now it’s my turn.” Tim couldn’t help the way his stomach twisted at the thought of what was coming up. He trusted Danny, he really did. And he wanted to know what it felt like to be overshadowed. But he hated losing control of himself. Absolutely despised it. He took a deep breath and met Danny’s eyes. “Do it.”
Danny bit his lip. “You don’t have to, you know.”
“Do it, Danny.”
A brief moment of hesitation longer, then Danny was flying towards him. The next thing Tim was aware of was a sharp pain in his head that he could only describe as being located behind his brain. Conner was facing him with the thermos pointed at him. The pain was already fading as he blinked and took in the lab again.
Nothing had changed.
“What was it like?” asked Cassie.
The question put Tim right back into Bat Report Mode. “As Tucker said, I have no memory of anything since I saw Danny fly at me to overshadow me. When he left, I had a strange pain in my head that faded by the time I had checked our surroundings for any changes that may have occurred while I was unaware.” As he spoke, he did a quick body check to look for any unusual pains or feelings elsewhere in his body. “I appear to be in the exact same physical condition as I was before the experiment. How long was I overshadowed for?”
“Less than two minutes,” said Conner. “I promise no longer than that. Danny had you sing a weird song about exploding weasels and then I sucked him into this.” He shook the thermos.
Cassie laughed. “It was ‘Pop Goes the Weasel.’ We have to teach you about nursery rhymes.”
Bart raised his hand. “Uh, I don’t think I’ve ever heard that one, either.”
And finally, Tim was able to relax. “Next weekend we all have off, Cassie and I will teach you all the nursery rhymes. Dick probably knows a ton. I’d imagine growing up in a circus with performers from all sorts of countries exposed him to so many.”
Bart grinned. “It’ll be interesting to see how the list of ones I know compares to the ones you know!”
Conner smiled back. “I’d like that. I should ask Clark for any he knows, too.” As he spoke, he pressed the button to release Danny.
When the light cleared, Danny was floating upside down looking Tim over. “So what’d you think of your first experience being overshadowed?”
“Four out of ten. Would not like to repeat, but I’ve definitely been through worse.”
Danny laughed and, still upside down, turned until he was facing Conner. “Think you’re ready for you turn?”
Conner took a deep breath and handed the thermos to Bart. “As I’ll ever be.”
Danny nodded and flew into him, just as he had Tucker and Tim. And then there was no more Conner. No more Superboy. Just someone who looked like him, but held his head cocked the wrong way. Who slouched a bit too much. Who was so clearly not Conner.
Tim pulled his new staff out and reminded himself it was just Danny. This was friendly right now. And it was reassuring to know he’d be able to tell when any of his friends were overshadowed.
Danny started to sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star in Conner’s voice.
Bart held up the thermos, ready to pull Danny in.
“Let me,” said Tim. “I want to do it.”
“You’ve got it,” replied Bart as he recapped the thermos.
Tim rushed forward and hit Conner on the side with his staff; Danny went flying out of him.
Conner shook his head and looked around. “That was weird. I remember it all, though.”
Danny was rubbing at his side where Tim hit. “Yeah. I’ve never overshadowed a meta before. At least no one I could tell was a meta. I could hear you, too. It was a struggle to keep control of your body.”
Tim sagged in relief. “Do you think that makes them less of a target?”
“Possibly?” The uncertainty in Danny’s voice made Tim uneasy. “From some ghosts, sure. But others like a challenge and may target him—them—specifically.”
Bart grinned. “Sounds like it’ll be an interesting game! So, now that we’ve got the basics down, we’re going out there to help, right?”

Next
Okay, so part of the reason for the length is that I just didn't want to cut it anywhere. Though the fact that it happened when I'm a day late posting certainly helped me not feel like I should find a spot to break it up!
Now, I've decided to move away from the tag system because breaking it up over two posts is getting to be quite difficult. So I've set up a subscription post for this story. Subscribe to that post and you'll get a Tumblr notification when I post. Instructions on how to subscribe can be found there. Anyone who has requested a tag before this post will be tagged today and on the next update, but I won't add anyone new. It's just getting to be a bit too much! (And I'm afraid of getting hit with a shadowban.)
In other news, I've started transferring my works to AO3. Haven't gotten there with this one yet, but the Wrong Number AU (now titled Answer My Call) has been posted. As has the bad reveal fic. Both can be found in my masterpost if you're interested.
Last bit of housekeeping, two posts below this one, I have a poll asking if you'd be interested in me sharing anything I've written for Good Omens. Feel free to check that out. Most of my time will still be spent with DPxDC, but with the new season coming out, I may try to revisit some things I haven't touched in a year (longer?).

Was just scrolling through YouTube. found a poll asking “who would live the longest?” with the Golden Trio as options, so I looked in the comments and found this ^
Yes, because clearly the boy whose family had barely afforded to feed and dress him and lacked many aspects of a healthy childhood must be ridiculed for his “eating problem,” even when the topic has absolutely nothing to do with that. Ron bashers literally have to look for any way to shoehorn in their Ron hate into even the most random conversations. And I love how they mentioned “Harry works a very dangerous job while Ron eats like a pig” even though 1. Ron was an auror too 💀? 2. Wouldn’t “eating like a pig” because you understood being fed was a privilege actually help you with living longer?
Sorry to dump this in your inbox, I know you’d prefer not to see any Ron hate, but this random comment made me really moody lol
Yeah... no wonder.
Sigh. You know the worst part? Out of the Trio Ron's relationship with food is probably the healthiest. He knows the importance of a good meal and encourages his friends to eat. Hermione is often shown ditching basic self-care when she's really into her research, while Harry has been starved.
Ron's the only one of the three who knows the importance of taking care of himself... and he's mocked for it because the movies couldn't be bothered to come up with more intelligent material (as in, actually showing Ron's sense of humour rather than having him be a clown).
So, to anyone who's still browsing this blog and still cares, let it be known Ron-bashing is still alive and well, so keep correcting the misconceptions and addressing them. Maybe one day we'll finally get it through this fandom's thick skull that liking to eat isn't a sign of being an evil materialistic pig.

Hi! I was wondering if you could write how the boys would react to an mc that don’t speak English very well? Spanish it’s my first language and it’s funny because some times I misunderstand what they say and I just stay like 🤷🏻‍♀️
Sorry for my bad english 😅 I hope you’re fine and healthy uwu
Ironically, I am not healthy - hence the really long delay. But thank you!
Lucifer: Lucifer is not impressed with himself; how did he manage to not realize that you didn’t speak English as a primary language? This complicates things just a little bit but he’s not going to feel too bad about it or give you any leeway.
His favorite thing to say is “you know what I mean!” when you act like you don’t understand what he’s saying. Sometimes you’re able to figure it out and sometimes you’re not but Lucifer doesn’t care. He pushes you to be self-sufficient; you better find a way to make it work while you’re down here.
On the low, he will sign you up for English classes at RAD or get you a private tutor to make sure you’re able to communicate well enough while you live down there.
Mammon: He is so confused sometimes. The two of you will go back and forth, just confusing each other more and more as you try to figure out what the other person said/meant.
Mammon is the kind of person who’s flipping through a pocket dictionary and trying to speak Spanish to you but he’s absolutely butchering it almost every time and ends up saying something rude/nonsensical by accident
It’s really cute that he tries though and he usually just finds it more funny than anything when you don’t understand him
Levi: Levi is embarrassed when you guys can’t fully understand each other. He feels ashamed that he obviously can’t communicate clearly and wonders why you would ever bother trying to talk to an otaku like him
He definitely hides away in the beginning because the language barrier bugs him
The more you talk, the more you both understand each other. He even starts speaking Spanish a little; he learned Japanese for anime so the least he can do is learn a little Spanish for you
Still, he much prefers texting because the phones can auto translate everything and he doesn’t have to worry about either of you being confused/a misunderstanding
Satan: Satan finds it funny in the “well, well, well, Lucifer finally screwed up” kind of way and he tends to dramatize how many misunderstandings there are just to spite Lucifer even more for accidentally choosing a human that doesn’t speak fluent english
With that in mind, Satan starts learning Spanish pretty much immediately and, once you two are on friendly terms, he starts tutoring you in English as well to make sure you can understand and communicate well while you live in the Devildom
Like Mammon, he carries around a little pocket dictionary; however, he’s much more efficient with it and can actually use it to translate
Asmo: Asmo doesn’t need to understand what you’re saying for him to understand you and vice Versa!
He thinks it’s so cute when you get confused and he loves to use gestures and dramatic facial expressions to convey whatever point he is trying to make - it usually doesn’t work well and ends up even more confusing but you both have fun the whole time
Definitely someone who will sometimes pretend to not notice you’re confused (or if he’s rambling about something he genuinely may not even notice) and he doesn’t need you to reply to keep the conversation going; he can talk enough for you both
Beel: Beel is confused and you’re confused
Like Levi, he may avoid communication in the beginning because Beel is usually quiet anyway but it sometimes feels like it’s not worth the hassle and confusion
Beel mimes things to you sometimes to try to better explain himself. He’s surprisingly good at charades and it usually clears things up well enough for you.
If he doesn’t understand you, he usually tries that nod/smile people do when they have no idea what the fuck is going on because he wants to be polite
Belphie: Belphie is too tired for this shit. You’re just going to have to figure out what he said for yourself; use your phone to translate or something
He will draw pictures sometimes, if it’s something he really wants to share with you and he can’t find the right words
When he doesn’t understand you, he doesn’t even pretend to. He just stares at you until you figure out a way to say it in English or make your point known in another way
Diavolo: Diavolo is entirely charmed by the language barrier. He loves that humans have so many different languages and loves how clever you all are about trying to understand each other
He does feel a bit bad considering it makes your life more difficult and miscommunications can be a pain in the ass
To rectify this issue, he tries to make all the demons learn Spanish and asks you to lead them in Spanish lessons and then everyone can speak your language!
Obviously that’s not realistic though and he settles for learning some Spanish himself and making sure all of your learning materials at RAD are translated for you to make things easier
Barbatos: Somehow Barbatos always knows how to say things in a way you understand and he’s always able to understand what you’re saying too
You have a sneaking suspicion that he may actually be fluent in Spanish but he refuses to admit it
Barbatos doesn’t even needs words; he understands your mannerisms and facial expressions well enough and he’s equally good about making himself clear to you
Solomon: Solomon speaks all human languages, both current and past. However, he’s not very good at it because he doesn’t practice the skill often so he’ll be a bit rusty in the beginning
Definitely uses spells and engagements to help communicate better and auto translates books and things for you so you have an easier time rather than struggling to read everything in English and he’ll translate any papers you write in Spanish to English too to make your life easier
Being the mischievous man he is, Solomon does love to laugh a little when you’re not able to understand someone, especially the brothers, and occasionally he may “misinterpret” what they’ve said to cause a bit more chaos
Simeon: Simeon actually already speaks some Spanish. He’s not fluent like Solomon but he understands enough to get by and he’s really good at helping translate between you and another person if there’s an issue
He’s asked you to teach him more Spanish so you guys can communicate better and he offers to help you with English as well
Simeon is a little ridiculous and loves playing the guessing game when he doesn’t understand something, rather than looking it up. He and Luke make a bit of a game of it to see who can figure it out first when there’s a miscommunication

˗ˏˋ Q: How do you know if a fundraiser is legitimate?
When doubting the legitimacy of a campaign, the first place you can check is the vetted fundraiser sheet. many of the campaigns on Tumblr are featured there. what you can do next, if it is not there, is go to the gofundme, copy the name of the person in the campaign, and put it into the Tumblr searches. if it has been vetted by a Palestinian Tumblr user, it will show up on someone's blog as being vetted. There are only a handful of users who are Palestinians who vet these campaigns, so you will most likely find a blog you recognize saying whether or not they are legitimate. Also, please take care to match the blog's gofundme link with the links on vetted posts/vetted excel sheet. There are scammers who will use the photos and information from a legitimate fundraiser to make a fake fundraiser.

FOR WRITERS
Q: What kind of writing is accepted?
Any creative works within animanga and video game fandoms. This started in the self-ship community so most of y he writers participating are writing character x reader fiction. But you are more than welcome to participate with character x character ship fics, character x original characters (OC), OC x OC, OC x reader, original fiction, or any combination of the above.
Also, if you are interested in participating with artwork, moodboards, matchups, or any other type of digital creative work, that is welcome as well. There is a comment section on the sign-up form where you can detail what you wish to do if it is not traditional fanfiction.
Physical creations (such as charms, stickers) are not under the scope of this collaboration at this time.
Due to limited resources, at this time we would prefer if this is limited to anime and video game content. While we wish to include more fandoms, it would become difficult to manage if this were to grow large enough to encompass other fandoms beyond the ones we are experienced in (animanga and video games). We apologize if this excludes you from the collaboration, but we do not have the bandwidth to manage so many fandoms at this time. Please check out Gotcha for Gaza to see if there are other open collaborations for your preferred fandoms if they are out of scope of our collaboration.
Q: Is there any limit to what kind of content is allowed (for example, dark content / dead dove content)?
No, any content is allowed. This is because we want to support Gaza in any way we can, and to exclude certain types of content is to exclude possible donations or exclude certain people who wish to participate. If the inclusion of dark content or nsfw content bothers you in any form, simply do not interact with this blog. Any negativity surrounding this topic will not be tolerated and promptly be deleted.
Q: Is there a deadline to join?
No. You can join, take a pause, or drop out at any time.
Q: How do I know if the screenshot of proof that I received is not being used multiple times i.e. the donator is double-dipping?
You can upload the screenshot you received to the google form here. We can then check on our end if the screenshot has been used more than once and notify you if there are any issues or duplicates. If you do not receive any DM or other response from us, assume the screenshot you received is legitimate. We do check the responses at least once daily and update the total amount on the pinned post once the screenshot is verified.
Please note that this form requires you to sign in to a Google account in order to submit a photo. If for privacy reasons you would rather not do that, please send us an ask off anonymous with the amount in USD and any photo attached if you would like to submit it for verification. This will not be posted publicly.
Q: Do we need to update you with progress on a fic?
No. Best practice (if you are doing “sponsor a wip”) perhaps would be to list updated word count next to your wip. For requests/prompts, perhaps update the person requesting with snippets if they request updates.
Q: What are you doing to boost the efforts of smaller creators? I am a creator with a small following and I’m not sure if I should join because I may not receive any donations.
We urge everyone, no matter the size of their following, to join if they feel they want to join. There is no contest behind this project, we will not be rewarding anyone for bringing in more donations or for fully funding their works. Creators who bring in even $1 would be making a difference in the lives of the people of Gaza! Even simply reblogging our posts is spreading awareness to the cause—tumblr does not have any algorithm, so the success of our efforts depends entirely on bloggers like you!
In an effort to bring attention to the creators participating in this project, we have enacted a weekly spotlight program, in which every week we will highlight one creator from each category (“Sponsor a WIP” and “Requests”). We will reblog this spotlight post as often as we can during the week, and we ask that you reblog it as well! That way, attention is brought onto those two creators as well as the ficsforgaza blog.
If you have any other suggestions for ways we can promote the efforts of the participants, please let us know, and we will take your suggestions up for consideration.
Q: I'm a multi-fandom writer. Some of my fandoms are animanga or video games (under scope of ficsforgaza) but some are other fandoms which are out of scope. Can I still join?
Yes! You can put all your stories up for sponsorship/take any requests. At the end of the day, the goal is to raise funds for Gaza. We will not place any restrictions on what you can do to support Gaza. However, we will only include in our masterlists the fandoms which are in scope. Any fandoms that are not animanga or video games will not be included in our lists of fandoms.
Q: Are Chinese or Korean animanga (such as donghua, manhwa) in scope of this project?
Yes! As long as there is an animated or comic adaptation, we will list it under our list of fandoms. This is because, for Western audiences, often times these series will be looped with Japanese animanga, so we feel that the animanga audience we are catering to may also be fans of donghua or manhwa. Keep in mind that there are other projects on twitter for these fandoms as well, please check out the Gotcha for Gaza caard.
Keep in mind that Western comics like Marvel or DC are out of scope. C-dramas, K-dramas, and other live action series are also out of scope. Although often closely tied to manga audiences, danmei and other novel series without adaptations for now will be considered out of scope to keep the list of fandoms manageable for the mods.

izzy headcanons
go white boy
Finally answering this ask!! Izzy hc let's goo!!! (Hope these make any sense it's so late from where I'm from)
Izzy clings/climbs onto the people she trustes most for fun. But she also carries them if needed. Like we saw her do with Noah in WT This means that sometimes Izzy basically jumps onto Team Escope to greet them.
Oh and Eva and Izzy sometimes fight together to train. Noah doesn't understand why.
Izzy isn't as crazy as she seems. Yes she's crazy but that doesn't mean she's not self-aware or stupid.
She's actually incredibly smart she just chooses to embrace her more ballistic side and let the others figure things out by themselves.
Izzy knows sign language and can communicate flawlessly in sign language aswell. The reason why is unknown.
Her and Chef fought a lot off camera during the show and when she discovered Noah was Chris's PA (because ofcourse she did) she used it as an excuse to torment the Chef even more.
Izzy cannot cook. At all. She once burned Eva's kitchen during a sleepover trying to boil pasta.
During total drama she actually increased her crazy persona as she used it alot for her advantage.
She's canonicaly smarter than Noah so sometimes when they hang out Izzy shares a bunch of conspiracy theories with him but somehow makes convincing arguments?
When she's bored or the mood is awkward she would just drop the most random facts ever. "Did you know a jellyfish's mouth is also its anus?" It completely baffles Owen every time.
Izzy definitely had a creepypasta phase.
Both Noah and Eva have bailed Izzy out of jail.
She knows the whole fnaf lore by heart. And she info dumps it on her friends.
She knows Spanish. And she knew about Alejandro but didn't say anything to see all the drama happening.
She made bracelets for all of team Escope with magnets inside so when they touch hands or high five (four??) they're bracelets connect. The problem with that is she used some oddly strong magnets so sometimes it becomes more of an inconvenience.
Her hair is naturally curly but she can't be bothered to to maintain it and that's why is mostly straight at the tip while the end is still curly. (Not projecting or anything oops)
Izzy loves Scary movies! (She loves the saw franchise but in all honesty she prefers psychological horror more)
She cried watching legs batman.
She dropped out of college and she almost went to MIT but chose a college closer to Canada instead. And also because she didn't want to follow specifically any of the paths they offered.
She's an expert at breaking in into things. Locks, houses, cars, etc... To a point Noah and Eva don't even bother lending Izzy a house key as they know she will always find a way in.
She is incredibly overprotective of the people she truly cares about. Which aren't any as she may like some people but perhaps not trust them.
She has trust issues. She only trusts people who can view her beyond just a crazy psychotic girl. Who actually care enough to truly know her. Which again aren't many.
She has incredible reflexes and is incredibly agile.
She adores circuses and clowns despite what others tell her. It (1 and 2) just fueled her love for them even more.
She gives Noah books to read. Except they aren't normal books.
She has incredibly sharp teeth. And she likes to bite people alot. It's basically her love language.
She can always predict the plot of the movie they are about to watch. So now she's not allowed to comment on new movies team escope watches during movie night.
Sometimes she has random urges to commit violence which make her jolt up. (Who doesn't?)
She followed an acting career and did eventually write the book she said she was in WT.
She lobes the original story of Frankenstein and even dressed up as his monster for half once. Oddly enough she relates to it. Which made Noah hug her since he found it concerning. She almost cried because of that. "Noah do you know how it feels to only be seen as the nut job? As the crazy one with no feelings? It fucking sucks."
She isn't the best at expressing sorrow or sadness but Noah and Eva help.
Tumblr media
I might make a part 2 of Izzy hc idk. But this is it for now!!!

kat my dear if you are in fact taking requests i am placing the lost/stranded wedge from the wheel of torment at your virtual doorstep like a cat with a dead mouse
Oooo, a present!
(Disclaimer: please do not take literally anything I say in this story about the Sierra Nevadas OR wilderness survival to heart. I am a dumbass, and I received my extremely limited wilderness survival training from suburban fundies who literally didn't know which end of a match to light, so the only bits of it I bothered to keep were "don't stand where a giant pinecone might fall on your head", "mountain lions are not your friends", and "here's how to check for rattlesnakes". Any information about bears, however, may be taken as semi-reliable because ... bears.)
--
Jack had never woken up in a tree before. Apparently, there truly was a first time for everything.
The shivering was what actually woke him. He was shirtless, as usual for the morning after a full moon, but the cheap sweatpants he'd pulled on before locking himself in the evening before were still intact, notwithstanding a snag near the left knee and a few new stains he preferred not to examine too closely. So everything between his hips and his ankles was at least bearable, but everything else was numb or shaking violently.
A dull poking against his right side roused him before he could slide back into a restful coma. He looked down. The spar of a broken branch was jabbing him in the ribs, and his shivering against it wasn't doing him any favors.
Then he looked farther down.
"Chingada madre," he breathed.
He was at least fifty feet up. Far below, a light mist rolled through the pine forest, hiding the roots of his tree from view.
What could have happened last night? He hadn't thought the wolf could jump this high, and it had never shown much interest in climbing.
"What were you thinking?" he muttered to it as if it would listen. "There's no--no food up here, no female wolves. Did you watch a Tarzan movie at three in the morning or something?"
Jack had never been especially afraid of heights, but the sudden sight of a long drop jolted him with enough adrenaline to wake up fully. He gripped the limb beneath him with half-numb fingers, took deep breaths of chilly morning air, and tried to think.
The last thing he remembered was lying down on the floor of the little cabin he and Ted had built in the Sierra Nevada mountains. He'd completed his full-moon ritual just like always: doors and windows shut and bolted, long chains on his wrists and ankles, a stash of werewolf-friendly food already out of its wrappings and within reach, and a big pile of blankets and old clothes rich with his and Ted's scents. It was as close as he could get to a den without risking the lives of every human being for miles around. His other side was never happy with the arrangement, exactly, going by the gouges in the walls and floorboards, but at least he usually woke up indoors.
The wolf couldn't open locks. Couldn't REACH them, usually, with the chains on. Wasn't clever or dextrous enough to open the puzzle lock on the bear-proof chest containing the manacle keys, a change of clothes, and the means to make coffee.
He looked down at his wrists, then his ankles. There were no manacles left, no sign of broken cuffs, not even the usual raw skin or bruising that would fade by midday. He hadn't fought his bindings at all.
Someone had let him out.
Dios santo, someone had let him out.
There was no one around to hear him, so Jack took a moment for himself. Slowly, taking care not to dislodge himself, he pulled his knees up to his chest, put his head down, and sobbed.
He'd had centuries to learn not to hate himself when he cried, and sometimes weeping was all he could do, so he let himself shudder and keen and wallow in self-pity for a little while. God knew he tried not to hurt anyone. He never wanted to wake up with the taste of blood in his mouth again. But people--pinche hunters, well-meaning fools, it didn't matter--always seemed to find a way to make everything worse.
He had moved his safehouses farther and farther from human settlements. Begged Ted to watch over him whenever he could. Tried every kind of lock and cage and chain and drug and spell to keep himself contained.
And now he was lost in the woods, halfway up a--he sniffed--black pine, probably, with no idea where he was or who might be looking for him or whether they would try to cut his throat with a silver blade when they caught up to him.
And there wasn't even coffee.
After a while, his sobs died away, and he realized he was shivering more than crying. He'd have to get moving if he wanted to warm up.
But where to move to?
He craned his neck, trying to scan the surrounding terrain, but he was only halfway up the tree, and that meant his view was mostly canopy. He could see the land sloping gently down and away in front of him, and based on the angle of the shadows, that direction was probably west. (Assuming he hadn't slept the entire morning away in a tree, but he didn't want to think about that.)
Assuming he was still in the Sierras--which the black pine strongly suggested, and it wasn't like the beast could run all the way to another mountain range in one night--there would be a substantial snowpack at the peaks for at least part of the year, and the meltwater would run downhill. There might be a creek or a stream downslope. All he'd have to do was find it, follow it downstream to whatever larger waterway it joined, and keep following until he found a landmark or something to eat.
At least there would be water. Probably.
He was just beginning to think about how he was going to get out of the tree without breaking anything important when he heard the scratching noises.
He leaned forward and looked over the side of the limb that was holding him up.
There was a large black shape swarming up the trunk, all flashing claws and gleaming eyes, and he yelped in terror and it didn't seem to notice--it just kept coming--
And then it halted, about ten feet below, and made a noise like a locomotive venting steam, and the smell wafted up and flooded his nose.
"Mierda," he breathed, unable to take his eyes off the bear.
It was skinny for a black bear at this time of year, and something about the way its ears and paws looked too big for the rest of it told him he was looking at an adolescent. Probably in its first season away from its mother, looking to establish a territory of its own.
The usual procedure, from what he could remember, was to look as big and intimidating as possible--stand up, wave his arms, shout--and try to frighten the bear into retreating. There were, unfortunately, two problems with the usual procedure.
The first was that Jack was physically smaller than even a teenage black bear, and he was currently huddled in a ball, shivering and smelling like he'd just been crying. Not the best position for intimidation, he felt, even if he could stand up on his limb and shout, which he wasn't too keen on in any case.
The second was that the most common reason for black bears to climb trees in a hurry was to escape something on the ground that had frightened them.
If the bear was scarier than Jack and whatever was on the ground was scarier than the bear, then the transitive property of wilderness survival suggested that he didn't want to meet whatever was on the ground.
The bear huffed at him again.
"Don't you take that tone with me," Jack snapped through chattering teeth. "I was here first."
The bear groaned.
"Go around if you're in such a hurry!" he told it. "You're the one who's supposed to be so good at climbing!"
The bear opened its jaws wide and bawled, giving him a view of its gullet.
"I don't care what your pinche plan was!" Jack shouted back. "You think I chose this from a menu of delightful options?!"
"Jack?!"
He froze.
He knew that voice. It was the most beautiful and terrifying voice in the entire world. It was salvation and damnation tangled together and swathed in red leather and softly curling black hair.
It was also a voice that was supposed to be in Europe.
Jack leaned over the side of his limb. "Elsa?" he called.
The bear grumbled at him, but that was inconsequential compared to the sight of Elsa Bloodstone in her full hunting leathers, standing knee-deep in morning mist and staring up the trunk at him with a sheathed machete on her hip and an unreadable expression on her perfect face.
"Jack?" she called again. "Bloody hell, what are you doing up a tree?"
Jack made a few incoherent noises before he got his mouth to work again. "What are you doing in North America?!"
"Saving your sorry arse! Don't you remember?"
Jack flapped his hands to vaguely encompass everything--the tree, the bear, his state of semi-undress, the general condition of the universe. "Obviously not!"
He could hear her snort from fifty feet up. "Come down, idiot. I promise it's safe."
The bear huffed.
"You and I have very different definitions of safe," Jack grumbled, but he pushed his back against the tree and began sliding to his feet anyway.
The bear squalled a little, but didn't swipe or try to lunge.
He supposed he couldn't blame the bear for being out of sorts. The first time he'd encountered Elsa unexpectedly, he'd wanted to climb a tree, too.
The trunk was big enough for him to work his way around to the opposite side before he began descending. The bear took advantage of the break in traffic to surge past him with a steam-boiler huff and a scrabbling of claws, but at least that meant they were no longer in each other's way.
The climb down the tree introduced Jack to several deep gouges in the bark left by his other self on the way up, and also every muscle ache the cold had previously kept at bay. By the time he half-slid, half-fell the last ten feet to land in a heap in front of Elsa, he was hurting in places he didn't usually remember he had.
She pursed her lips at him in a strange way, unzipped her red leather jacket, and draped it around his shoulders. He was pretty well out of dignity by that point, so he didn't bother to suppress the grateful moan as he soaked up her warmth and scent. Oh, gods, that was better.
"Can you walk?" she asked.
"For you, anything," he grunted, and wobbled to his feet without loosening his grip on the jacket.
She made that unreadable face again, put a hand on his back, and guided him away from the tree.
For once, she set an easy pace, letting the rising morning sun warm them both as they strolled through the high forest. When Jack stopped in the occasional clearing to soak up a little extra solar energy, she didn't seem to notice, merely stopped beside him to sun herself, too.
It was ... strangely companionable, for Elsa.
"I got a ... vision, I suppose ... from Ted through the Nexus," she explained. "He'd seen a small group of hunters near your cabin. Apparently, he likes to keep an eye on you at full moons."
Jack smiled a little and looked down at his bare feet.
"Anyway, he couldn't leave his post for some reason, so he wanted me to look out for you. I owe him half a dozen favors at this point, so I couldn't exactly refuse, could I?"
Jack shook his head. Nobody could say no to Ted, not really.
"Two Nexus jumps later, I was at the cabin first. There were four of them on the way, and I wasn't sure I could take them all before one of them got to a certain sitting wolf." She bumped him with her shoulder, and he staggered. "Lucky you left the key in that puzzle box."
"Wait--you let him out?" Jack gaped at her. "How--are you okay? Did I hurt you?"
She smiled tightly. "Not a scratch, actually. Once I, er, got close enough, I think you remembered my scent. I told you to run, and you did."
His mouth was wide open, but he didn't care. "Let me just--wait--you gave the wolf an order? And he obeyed?"
"What, like it's hard?"
He continued staring, still open-mouthed.
"Anyway," she continued, "once you were gone, I didn't have to play defense, so I took care of things and then waited for daylight to track you down."
Took care of things, he was pretty sure, meant hid four corpses in the woods, but he was too cold and sore and grateful to press the matter.
"Do you have any idea why you decided to climb a tree?"
Jack shrugged. "The beast does what it does. You get used to it."
"Hm."
They walked in silence for a while. Finally, Jack said: "I think it was scared. I was scared."
Elsa shot him a sidelong glance, her eyes flicking over his face. "Well," she said finally. "Good to know one of you has some sense."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
She put her nose in the air. "I'm absolutely terrifying. One of you should recognize it, at least."
Jack giggled as he stumbled over rocks and pine needles.
It was an hour's walk back to the cabin, where only a few suspicious stains in the surrounding dirt suggested the previous night's activities. The door stood open, and Jack hurried inside to throw open his trunk and wrap himself in a warm hoodie and fluffy wool socks. His feet stung as feeling returned, but at least he'd be warm while he hurt.
"I should be going," Elsa said from where she stood awkwardly in the doorway. "Ted says he'll keep an eye out for when you're packed and ready to leave."
Jack nodded. "Yeah, I don't think I'll be coming back here any time soon." Not for a generation at least, he thought sourly. Then he remembered he wasn't alone, and brightened. "Would you like to stay for coffee?" he asked Elsa. "There's a solar hot plate, or we could make a fire."
"Tempting," she said dryly. "But there's proper coffee waiting for me at home."
"Oh. Right. Of course."
Her expression softened. "It's good to see you in one piece, Jack," she said. "Take care of yourself."
"Oh, yes. I always do."
Her mouth twisted in that strange way again, and she started to say something before pressing her red lips firmly together. "Don't forget to wash up," she said instead. "You've got--stuff on your face."
"Yeah, probably," he agreed, turning away from her. He probably looked a fright, to be honest. Full moons always left him covered in God alone knew what, staggering around like a half-dead man. He was suddenly aware that Elsa had been looking at him in his probably filthy state for over an hour.
God, he was a disaster.
She left with a final, awkward farewell, and he set about cleaning up the cabin in preparation to seal it away for a few decades. He wouldn't be coming back until he was sure the scent was cold, and that meant disposing of an awful lot.
The sun was high by the time he was done, soaked in sweat and stinking of hard work and leftover pain. Time to clean up and call Ted.
Elsa had been right, he thought as he fetched a bucket of water from his rainwater cistern and hauled it into the cabin for a final wash. He could definitely feel something smeared on his face. It was a bit sticky. Perhaps the wolf had run into a tree that was leaking sap. Didn't smell like sap, though.
He stripped down, poured a little of the water into a basin for later, and then dipped a rag into the bucket and started scrubbing. A proper hot bath would have to wait until he got to Ted's, but he could at least try to make himself presentable. Bad enough that Elsa had seen him in such a state; he would hate to inflict it on Ted, too.
Poor Elsa, he reflected as he scrubbed. She really deserved better than having to deal with his more monstrous side all the time. Brave as she was, facing down an angry werewolf was still no one's idea of a fun Saturday night.
Now that he thought about it, he wondered how she'd gotten the wolf to obey her and run without putting up a fight. That wasn't like him at all.
Oh, well. She'd probably never tell him. Hunter trade secrets, most likely. Perhaps she'd used the Bloodstone on him. It was no less than he deserved. At least she'd kept herself safe.
He dumped the bucket out the door, shook himself a little to get dry, and walked naked to the jagged piece of mirror he'd nailed up on a wall to wash his face in the basin.
And stopped dead.
Well. He definitely had something on his face.
In the center of his forehead, squarely between his eyes, was a red smudge. Exactly the shade of Elsa's lipstick.
He grinned to himself and grabbed a clean rag to wipe it off on. And possibly keep it forever.
"Okay," he told the wolf as if it would listen. "I'd do whatever she said after that, too."
Maybe he was imagining the agreeing rumble from deep in his chest as he wiped the kiss print and folded the rag for safekeeping before grabbing a second rag to wash with.
Then again, maybe not.
There truly was a first time for everything.

Hey, can you do a reading for Yoongi and his fs? About their personality, their current energy, how they view each other and/or their messages to each other?
MIN YOONGI & HIS FUTURE SPOUSE
for now i see that yoongi has not yet met the person he will marry. when asking about the time in his life when he will meet them, it appears it could be during a very delicate period, especially psychologically. this person may come into his life as a "saving angel" who will help him to rebuild himself. they may have already gone through a similar situation to what yoongi will face and will then reach out to him.
this person may have a personality that is opposite to what they appear to be on the outside: others see them as introverted and mostly quiet, perhaps someone with few friends, very focused on their own work and goals to the point of neglecting external relationships. despite projecting this image, to those who know them, they reveal themselves as understanding (perhaps more than they'd like to admit) and concerned for those they care about. this person doesn't tend to show their own feelings much.
they have a scorpio-like vibe (it doesn't mean they are of this sign, but they may possess strong scorpio-like traits).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
at the moment, this person's energy fluctuates between well-being and discomfort. It's as if they're trying to take one day at a time and not overly anticipate the future. they are working on improving inner aspects and their self-esteem/self-perception.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
within the relationship, yoongi will see this person as someone who brings him comfort and with whom he can be himself. as the relationship progresses, yoongi may increasingly perceive this person as intelligent and unique. although they may have a somewhat cold appearance, deep down, they are sensitive, and he will feel the need to take care of them with great tenderness.
on the other hand, this person will have a completely different view of yoongi as they get closer and enter into this relationship. they will see yoongi as someone who carries many emotional wounds but has not lost the ability to be romantic, attentive, and kind. they will handle well the mood swings that yoongi seems to have, where one day he's fine and thinking about how to improve his future, and the next he's not so well, preferring to be more introspective and withdrawn. i see that this person will greatly respect yoongi's personality and his occasional need for alone time – it won't bother them. they are mature and seem to have a full awareness that yoongi won't be an extension of them, although at times, he may embrace them as if he wants to be.

My Eldest Brother (But He’s My Father) Pt.2
Triggers/Tags
Mentions of Child Neglect/Jealously/Hurt/Comfort/Hate/Depression/Father&Son/Thoughts of Death/NoMC/Panic Attacks/Some Flasbacks/Kid!SatanHeadCannons/Mammon is a good big bro/self deprecation/ identity crisis/ mentions of an attempt
Notes: Colored Text is just Dialogue with a bit of glam !
Italicized words are flashbacks (usually)( but it’ll be obvious when it’s not!)
Per request, here you go! Part 2 🫶🏼 @zarakem
1/2/?
Satan can’t help but feel the rage boil in him during a school festival at the sight of Lucifer.
But there’s another feeling lingering as he stares at the kindness and gentle expressions Lucifer shares with the someone so small.
Ones he never saw growing up
Or
When Satan realizes that he yearns and longs for something he can never have.
তততততততততততততততততততততততত
Satan pants heavily as his consciousness begins to take over.
He looks around, his vision blurred.
He’s not at the festival anymore.
Where is he?…
He feels a bit sore, and his hands have clear signs of bruising and scrapes. But it was obvious someone tended to some of his wounds with some bandages wrapped around his body.
He lets out a sigh.
He did it again, didn’t he.
He went crazy.
His back hurts despite being on what he assumes is a bed.
He tries to move from his place but his hand is chained.
Not this again…
He looks around him, his vision becoming clearer.
Is it still the day of the festival? How long has passed?
He’s in his room.
But he finds no comfort in being in it.
He tries to break free from the chains in a desperate manner but fails.
He knew it wouldn’t work anyways
Why was this happening to him again?
He had it under control, did he not?
He feels defeated.
He doesn’t know how long he’s just sitting there. Drowning in his own sorrow.
That’s when the door to his room opens. The light blinding him as he averts his gaze from whoever decided to walk in.
“Hey buddy.” Mammon gleams as he holds a tray of food ,”How are ya feeling?”
Satan shoots him a dirty look but that doesn’t stray Mammon away from fulfilling his duty.
“Tch, I told Lucifer these weren’t necessary.” Mammon looks at the chains with detest before refocusing on Satan,”I brought ya food! You must be hungry, right?”
“No.” Satan tells Mammon before his own stomach betrays him.
Mammon can’t help but let out a snicker to which Satan responds to with a scowl.
“Open wideeee Big Brother Mammon is gonna feed you! Just like he used to!” Mammon tells him shoving a spoonful of soup into Satans mouth.
“Beel must’ve made the food today.” Satan assumes as he has no choice but to accept Mammon.
He’s always been too pushy and would’ve probably continued insisting if Satan rejected him again. He’s much too tired and sore to argue anyways.
Mammon reminds Satan of Lucifer in a way.
But at least Mammon doesn’t get angry like Lucifer does. He’s a lot more understanding.
And caring.
He’s more gentle.
Sure he’s an irresponsible idiot who always manages to get into all sorts of trouble but …
Mammon has always been kind to Satan.
Even if Satan had his outbursts and destroyed everything.
Mammon would forgive him right away.
Satan can’t help but feel some guilt weigh him down.
He doesn’t know really recall when or why he started pushing Mammon away.
“Imma get ya!” Mammon says chasing around a small Satan who has a smile on his face.
“No way, you’re too slow!” Satan tells him sticking his tongue out at him as he runs into one of the many unexplored rooms in the house.
“Why you little-“ Mammon huffs out as he catches up with Satan.
When Mammon does catch up he finds Satan standing in the middle of library.
His eyes full of curiosity as he looks around
“What’s all this?” Satan asks him.
“It’s the house library doofus.” Mammon tells patting his head gently,”No one ever comes in here though.”
“Why?”
“Well it’s easy. Asmo prefers a mirror, uh Levi has his own weird thing going on, uhhh Belphie couldn’t bother while Beel isn’t interested since he can’t eat it. —No one cares about a buncha books. -Nowadays you got these!” Mammon pulls out his D.D.D. with a smile.
Not even a minute later he’s deeply immersed in the phone and scrolling absentmindedly.
“Mammon.” Satan says in attempt to regain his brothers attention.
“Hmm? Oh yeah.” Mammon says with a laugh while putting his phone away,”Anyways uh as for Lucifer I think he might be the only one who comes in here actually.”
“..he does?” Satan asks unsure yet still curiously
“Yknow that one saying..uh what is it. Something about knowledge..er ..uh..oh! That’s right, Knowledge is power! Luci is a firm believer in that certain thing Yknow!” Mammon tells him proudly.
Satan stares at the endless array of books and picks one out. He looks down at it and opens it up.
“It’s in a different language.” Satan tells him with a scowl,”How is anyone suppose to know what it says if they didn’t bother having a translation!?”
Mammon grabs the book from him and attempts to read it himself but fails miserably,”Yknow you’re totally right! It’s lame as hell. Oh—maybe there’s a good money maker in that statement somewhere. “ mammon hums to himself,”Sounds like a lotta work on my part though. You’re probably better off just learning the language yourself.” He tells Satan handing him back the book.
“Learning the language?” Satan says confusingly.
“Er yeah there’s a book somewhere here for that, but I was just messing around, no one’s got the time for that sorta thing.”
Satan hums curiously.
“Anyways I’m pretty sure-“ Mammon says tapping him gently,”You’re it.”
“Hey! No fair! We were on time out.” Satan yells out as Mammon takes off running. He runs right after him.
“I swear Satan, if you don’t stop trying to bite my fingers as I’m trying to feed you i won’t hesitate bitting back.” Mammon warns him.
Satan has another flashback.
“Hah? You’re in here again?” Mammon tells Satan as Satan stands on a stack on books to reach a higher shelf.
“Oh- hey mammo OH -“Satan yelps out as the stack of books begins to wobble underneath him.
Luckily Mammon is able to keep him balanced,”Hey- watch it dummy you’re gonna get hurt.” Mammon a scolds him as Satan continues to attempt to reach for a higher book.
“Nah I won’t, Mammon will save me.” Satan says.
“Damn right I will,”Mammon hums in agreement as he picks satan up,”Now hurry and get the book you want.” He tells Satan.
“Satan, bud, you keep zoning out. You’re starting to freak me out.” Mammon tells him.
“Heya buddy, I was thinking- maybe we can go out shopping today together - what ya say?” Mammon walks in the library with smile.
“No thanks.” Satan tells him as he’s immersed in his book.
“Hah?” Mammon let’s out a confused grunt,”But you like shopping with me.”
“You only take me because you use me as a scapegoat for one of your schemes.” Satan huffs as he doesn’t even bother looking up from his book.
“Hey- er- That’s not true at all! I just like spending time with ya!” Mammon defends his actions.
“Not interested.” Satan let’s put an annoyed grunt,”I have way better things to do.”
“Oh..”Mammon says with a dejected sigh,”Alright..well maybe next time?”
“Probably not.” Satan tells him.
Mammon looks back at his younger brother before leaving the library.
He’d try a few more times to get his younger brothers attention. But the more he tried the more Satan pushed him away.
Mammon stopped trying
“OI! Quit ignoring me!” Mammon snaps his fingers in front of Satan.
“Huh?” Satan turns his attention to Mammon.
“Jeez.” Mammon says as he puts the breakfast to the side,” Ya had me worried for a minute there. I’m telling Lucifer to take these off of you already. Matter in fact, imma do it myself.” He starts to fumble with the chains.
“Mammon wait-“Satan tries to warn the Avatar of Greed but is too late because Satan feels the energy flow through his body.
“Yeouch!” Mammon yelps out after receiving a pretty powerful shock.
“It’s enchanted dumbass!” Satan grits his teeth.
After all— he got shocked too!
“Oi what the hell is wrong with Lucifer!? Treating ya like an animal ” Mammon yells out,”I swear that guy-“
“How about you get this book in my desk. The one with a blue bird sigil on it.” Satan tells him, the shocks always made him feel a bit dizzy.
Mammon rummages through the desk looking for the book.
However, Satan thinks Mammon is taking too long to find it.
“…..”
“Mammon! Quit tryna steal my stuff!” Satan scowls angrily.
“Ha. You caught me. Found yer book.” Mammon tells him as he reproaches ,” What’s this for?”
“It unlocks the chains.” Satan tells him.
“Oh wow really? Awesome! So what I gotta say some cool spell in here or what?” Mammon becomes determined as he flips through the pages. Only to find out they’re all empty,”Ay, you sure this is the right book?“
“It’s the right book-“ Satan tells him,” Stand over here.” He tells Mammon who does as he’s told.
“Now what?”
“Now you’re gonna use the book, and hit the chain really hard.” Satan says with a grin.
“Ah- okay. —Now you’ve lost it.” Mammon closes the book,”Man that shock really did a number on you.”
“Mammon!” Satan huffs at him.
“Fine fine!” Mammon does as he’s told, slamming the book down straight into the chain.
Surprisingly, it snaps in half.
“W-what?! No way! There’s no way a stupid book could’ve cut though that-“ Mammon says in disbelief as Satan removes the cuffs off of him.
“They’re enchanted chains- they’re meant to keep anyone with devil or Angel power from touching them. And they’re also meant to keep a person from using magic when restrained.” Satan explains,”The book is from the human world, even though there is nothing written on it- it has no magic power. “
“How’d you figure out that you can get out of the chains?”
“I read about it.” Satan let’s out a huff as he throws himself back on the bed.
“Huh, guess books are useful after all!” Mammon acknowledges.
It becomes silent after that.
Perhaps it’s time to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
“Mammon.” Satan asks.
“Yeah?”
“What happened?”
“You mean you don’t remember?” Mammon murmurs.
“I don’t.” Satan replies.
Even if it was just for a short time, he’d forgotten all about those emotions he’s been experiencing.
“Well..” Mammon says,”By the time I got there, most of the area was destroyed pretty badly. The only people there were our brothers and of course Lucifer who was tryna stop ya .” Mammon hums with a sigh.
Satan doesn’t respond.
“Honestly Satan,” Mammon asks ,”We know you didn’t just blow up for no reason. We’ve noticed your mood lately…”
There’s no response again.
“You can tell your big bro what’s bugging ya! No judgements here!” Mammon tells him encouragingly
“….”
“….”
“Dammit Satan! Say something will ya?!” Mammon pleas with his younger brother.
“Why are you here Mammon?” Satan asks him as he stares up at his ceiling.
“What ya mean ‘why am I here’, it’s cause I’m worried about you! We all are!” Mammon exclaims.
“No Mammon…”Satan sits up from the bed now making it so that Mammon and himself seat side by side.
He turns to Mammon with such repulsion it causes him to flinch back.
“Why are you really here?”
“I- I’m not following.” Mammon tells him, slightly confused by the question.
“Why don’t you be honest for once in your god damn lifetime and answer my question!” Satan grabs Mammon by the collar of his shirt.
“O-oi!” Mammon is unsure of what’s happening. Things are moving rather quickly for Mammon to process correctly.
“All these years! You were always there! Even when I wanted nothing to do with you! Why is that Mammon?! Why did you not hate me like everyone else?!” Satan’s grip on Mammon gets stronger.
“Because I love ya!” Mammon exasperates.
“Wrong answer!” Satans yelling gets louder as he throws Mammon onto the ground.
Mammon attempts to scurry towards the door,”It’s the truth?! What other answer did you want?!”
Satan follows him maliciously,”You pitied me? Right?!”
“Pitied ya?? What the hell are you talking about?!” Mammon yells out a yelp as a chair barely misses him, shattering into pieces next to him.
“You felt bad for poor little Satan! Because nobody wanted to associate themselves with him, right!?” Satan knocks a shelf over in rage.
“That’s not true!” Mammon tells him sternly as he backs up against the door,”I loved you because yer were my kid brother!”
“Liar!” Satan picks him up by the collar once more,”You only loved me because nobody else wanted to! You felt guilty!”
“I did not!”
“You felt guilty Mammon.” Satan in a dangerously quiet tone.
Mammon doesn’t say anything but Satan could hear his pulse quicken.
”You felt guilty! Because not even my own father wanted me. - isn’t that right?” Satan painfully voices—his expression is filled with anger and sorrow as tears start streaming down his face.
Mammon’s face falls and is replaced with one filled with guilt.
Realization dawning on the white haired boy and Mammon could feel hot tears fall down his face.
“I’m sorry..” He croaks out.
“…..”
“Get out.” Satan warns him as he drops his grip.
“Satan-“Mammon pleads as tears fill his eyes.
“GET THE FUCK OUT!” Satan pushes Mammon out the door making the white haired boy fall onto the ground, slamming it closed.
——
(Finally! The Brothers POV!)
(should I change the tags to hurt/comfort/hurt/hurt/hurt/ instead lololol)
Mammon stares in utter disbelief as he watches the door slam close on him.
He could hear footsteps approach him from the side in a hurry.
“Mammon!” Asmo calls out with worry.
“We heard yelling-“Belphie approaches with Beel.
“What happened?!” Levi asks clearly worried for his older brother.
And that’s when they take in the older brothers appearance. More noticeably at the tears spewing out his eyes in such a way, no one thought possible.
He holds such a pained expression -it startles the younger brothers.
“H-hey-“ Belphie is unsure of what to even say. Mammon wasn’t the type to cry in such a way. He always played the tougher act when it came to stuff like this.
But seeing Mammons desperation as he gets up from the floor and begins pounding the on Satans door , crying out in pleas, was probably the most horrifying thing they could’ve ever witnessed.
“Open the god damn door!” Mammon yells out,”Open it now, Satan!”
“M-mammon…”Asmo isn’t sure what to do. Should he stop his brother? Could he?
“What’s..happening..”Levi says clearly horrified.
“I don’t know…”Beel replies with an upset expression.
The brothers flinch as they can hear crashes and sounds of destruction erupt from inside Satans room.
“M-Mammon what happened!?” Levi overcomes his shock as he tries to figure out what’s happening.
“Don’t just fucking stand there! Help me open this door!” Mammon tells him with a harsh tone as he tries to kick in the door.
Levi flinches at the older brothers tone.
Mammon wasn’t the type to angrily swear, especially at his own brothers.
“Why won’t this stupid door open already?!” Mammon frustratingly kicks at it
“Mammon just stop!” Asmo cries out.
“What in the devils name is going on?!” Lucifer’s voice booms out from the end of the hall as he approaches the scene.
“It’s Mammon!” Asmo stands behind Lucifer instinctively ,”I think they got into an argument— he won’t stop crying!”
Lucifer takes a look at his younger brother.
It makes him uneasy.
“Mammon.“ Lucifer calls out to his brother.
Mammon ignores him.
“Mammon,”Lucifer says again,”Satan put an enchantment, there’s no way you’re getting in.”
Mammon stops abruptly, facing the door.
“Mammon, look at me.” Lucifer tells his brother.
Mammon swiftly turns and suddenly has Lucifer by the collar of his shirt - just as Satan did to him.
“M-mammon that’s enough!” Levi calls out to him trying to pull Mammon away from Lucifer but fails miserably.
“This is crazy..” Belphie says out loud,” what’s even happening right now…”
Lucifer looks into his brothers eyes.
They’re staring at him the same way Satan did last night.
“Mammon-“Lucifer says not pleased at his brothers actions.
Tears stream down Mammons face, he’s unable to contain his own rage as he struggles to come to truth with a harsh reality.
“This is all your fault!” Mammon shouts at him.
“My fault?” Lucifer raises an eyebrow as he bears no mind to Mammons aggression— pride getting the best of him in an already delicate situation,”Please, enlighten me.”
That seems to rile Mammon further.
“I can take the punishments!” He continues to yell at Lucifer,”I can take yer cold shoulder - I can take the snarky remarks about being an idiot who does nothing but cause trouble -I can take being called a greedy bastard who only thinks of himself! but Yknow what I won’t take?- “Mammon stares Lucifer dead in the eye.
“-what I won’t take is the way you treat your own family anymore! “ he pushes Lucifer away from him with utter disgust,”He’s your son for fucks sake.“ mammon hardly get’s out.
The tension sky rocketed to an entirely different atmosphere.
There were some quiet gasps and shocked facial expressions in the room.
Mammon however seemed to have gotten such a burden off his chest as he silently recomposes himself and lets Lucifer go.
“Oh my god..”Asmo can’t help but cover his mouth.
“This is really happening.” Levi gulps nervously.
“I’m not liking this at all..…”Beel admits as Belphie remains silent.
Lucifer himself seems surprised and taken back by such a statement as he takes a step away from him.
For a man who can usually keep his composure, Lucifer was having trouble keeping the look of horror off of his face.
“What…..did you just …say?…”Lucifer’s head starts to do cartwheels.
“I refuse to call you my brother anymore!” Mammon confesses,”because my brother would have never treat his own that way!”
“S-satans not..”Lucifer sputters out but is unable to get the words out,”Mammon what are you saying?—”
“Figure out yourself ya damn deadbeat. I’m done here.” Mammon says bitterly walking away from Lucifer.
He glances at his younger brothers as he walks away.
He sighs deeply, holding his temple as he gently massages it. He murmurs an apology to them before disappearing into the house.
…as for Lucifer.
The remaining four turn to their eldest brother.
But it seems the eldest was glued to his spot—replaying the words in his head over and over.
He can feel his hands shaking.
Just a simple sentence….a couple of words.
And they were able to twist a knife into Lucifer’s chest and kill off all the pride Lucifer had left.
The energy surrounding Lucifer was threatening.. it felt hostile.
“Leave.” Lucifer demanded.
And that’s exactly what they did.
——
“Ahh-That was so scary.” Asmo tells him three brothers as they gather in the attic.
Beel hums in agreement,”I’ve never seen Mammon so angry before.”
“Mammon?? But did you see the way Lucifer reacted when Mammon said-“ Belphie comments before stopping abruptly.
“This is so weird..” Levi admits,”I say we just go back to our rooms and hope they figure it out themselves.”
Asmo glares Levi,”That’s not an option and you know it.”
Beel hums again in agreement.
Levi sulks with a sigh,”Yeah I know…but isn’t there a chance we can make things worse by getting involved? I mean look at Mammon, he got involved and look what happened to him.”
“That’s true,” Belphie nods his head in agreement as he crosses him arms.
“No it’s not!” Asmo exasperates,” We should at least try and figure out what’s actually going on, we owe it to them to try-“
“I agree.” Beel says,”Mammon is always there for us when things like this happen, Lucifer is always getting us out of trouble too…as for Satan-“ Beel mumbles the last part,”We owe him that much.”
The other brothers look at Beel surprised by his declaration.
Belphie let’s out a sigh,”You’re right Beel.”
Levi nods,”Yeah.”
Asmo smiles at his younger brother,” Agreed.”
“I guess we should try and figure out how this all started then..”Levi tells them.
“Right!” Asmo tells him,”I’d have to say it starts with Satan’s weird behavior these past weeks,”He’s totally been avoiding us as much as he can.”
There’s a nod of agreements.
“But when did that start?” Belphie asks,”was there something that could’ve triggered Satan?”
Levi shakes his head,”Not that I know of, but he did explode yesterday at the festival..and now that I think about it….when we’d ask him about stuff regarding the festival he seemed distant.”
“That’s true,”Beel says,”Don’t you remember Lucifer saying he contributed the least amount at breakfast?”
“That’s right!” Asmo says,”Usually he’s really the only one put his back and bone into events like this.”
“It clearly bothered him..considering what he did to that poor fork.” Belphie says with a nervous expression with Asmo nodding his head in agreement.
“But if he was bothered by the idea of the festival, why did he agree to it?” Levi asks genuinely unsure.
The brothers sit in thought. Usually if Satan doesn’t like something he’d say it outright.
“If I had to guess…”Belphie says with a dry laugh ,”Probably because Lucifer didn’t want to do it.”
“Yeah..that sounds like Satan.” Levi agrees.
“Do you think Lucifer thought something like this might happen?” Beel asks.
“It wouldn’t be out of character for Lucifer to think a few steps ahead of everyone…but I don’t know…” Belphie says,”He did seem pretty surprised yesterday at Satan’s meltdown....”
Everyone becomes silent.
After all, they didn’t get there until the very end of what they assume was Lucifer stopping Satan’s wrath.
Lucifer’s expression carried worry and concern across his face. He almost looked guilty.
“What happened?!” Asmo rushes as he sees Lucifer standing with an unconscious Satan in his arms.
“He did it again…”Levi says with a concerned expression.
“Satan…”Beel says glumly.
“I knew it was a bad idea to let him leave.” Belphie sighs.
The scene had both Satan and Lucifer with tattered clothes. Just how much happened in such a short amount of time?
Lucifer’s expression changes.
It looks sad as his demonic form fades away.
Sad for the blonde boy as he held up his unconscious body in his arms.
Lucifer reaches to move the blondes hair out of his face but hesitates, pulling away.
He sighs deeply, obviously troubled,”I’ll let Diavolo know what happened later, for now let’s section this area off…and go home.”
And that’s what happens.
They go home.
And they don’t follow Lucifer as he carries Satan up to his room.
“His face was so..”Asmo says,”I’ve never seen either of them like that…well not since…” He‘s at a lost for words.
“Yeah…”Belphie croaks out.
Beel nods in agreement.
“But I thought Satan was like…okay now?” Levi asks,”I thought we helped him get through that?”
“I thought so too,”Asmo tells him as he puts a hand to his face in frustration,”I’m sure we did. It has to be something else then.”
“What about what Mammon said?” Belphie asks,”He called Satan Lucifer’s son. He was really pissed off at Lucifer.”
There’s an uneasy tension in the room again.
“…..”
“….”
“Ah! This is so weird and confusing!” Asmo breaks the silence with a groan.
“Ughh.” Levi complains.
“Alright alright. So from what I’ve gathered Satan disliked the festival. And Something happened from that day to the day of the festival between Satan and Lucifer?” Belphie asks.
“No- We would’ve known something about an argument or discourse if something did happen between those two,”Levi tells him.
“Then what the hell is it?!” Belphie yells out,”If nothing happened between them then why did they all react in such a way??”
Asmo sighs,”Whatever it is, Mammon must’ve tried to console Satan about it. But that didn’t work out….clearly.”
“It looked like…. Like Mammon had a guilty expression on his face when he got thrown out...” Beel says,”At least from what I saw..”
“But what would Mammon feel guilty about? If anyone is less responsible for Satan’s behavior lately, it’s Mammon. “ Levi tells him,”After all he did volunteer to deliver him breakfast this morning.”
“Mmm breakfast …”Beel says. He’s ignored.
“Yeah, Mammon was really the only one who looked after him after he was born.” Belphie mumbles.
“Ugh! Don’t remind me! I still hate myself for ever feeling that way to someone who’s family -“Asmo admits,”Even so! We were forgiven for that! We even all cried it out together!”
There are hums of agreement.
“So..the problem …is most likely Lucifer and Satan?” Belphie tilts his head in confusion.
“Isn’t it always them anyways? Satans always hated Lucifer.” Asmo responds.
“They never got along. That much we know. So what changed?” Levi questions,”Lucifer is the only one acting the same - Satan’s the one who started acting different …”
“I can’t put my finger on it ,”Belphie says,”call it a gut feeling…or beels hunger …but…my guess…is this is all because of the way Lucifer’s been treating Satan…”
“Huh? How is it any different than before?” Levi asks.
“Think about it, why else would Mammon get involved?”
“I don’t know, he’s Mammon.” Asmo makes his argument.
“No- like really think about it. This isn’t the first time Mammon’s argued with Lucifer …even if not to this degree..it feels similar... It’s happened before- back when-…when Satan…when he tried to…“ Belphie murmurs out.
Beel touches his twin brothers shoulder, shaking his head urging him not to continue.
“Don’t say more.” Asmo says looking down at the ground in shame as he covers his ears and eyes ,” I don’t want to remember… I don’t want to.”
(Imma put trigger warning here, brief mention of an attempt )
“I can’t believe you!” Mammon yells at Lucifer,”So you show you care for a few days and then go back to being a heartless son of a bitch? Do you not care about what just happened?! Do you not realize how pathetic you look?! There’s no pride in neglecting someone who needs you right now!”
“I told you before Mammon, I can’t stop everything that’s happening for Satan’s sake… I can’t. You need to understand someone has to make sure you all have roofs over your heads!” Lucifer’s tone changes into one with discontent,”How can you say I’m being neglectful when all I’ve done and sacrificed is for your sakes!”
“Cant you see?! We’re falling apart out here! All that won’t matter if you can’t get your act straight!”
Lucifer turns away from Mammon as he touches his temple of his head with his fingers ,”Mammon…” He says in a serious tone,”I don’t know why you’re so insistent about Satan. I already told you. He’s our brother, you know I care for him.”
“I held him Lucifer!” Mammon voice cracks,”In my arms. And I couldn’t feel him.”
Lucifer looks back at his brother with a pained expression,”Im sorry Mammon.”
“Why ..why can’t you..just love him…”Mammon pleads.
“I do love him.”
“That’s not what I mean and you know it.”
“I can’t love him any other way.” He turns away from his younger brother.
“He’s your-!”
“Mammon.” Lucifer interrupts him with a warning,”He’s our brother. So let it go.”
Lucifer walks away.
“Don’t walk away from me when I’m talking to you!” Mammon warns.
“Handle it yourself. I’m done here.”
“Lucifer!”
Lucifer ignores him.
No response.
“Dammit Lucifer! Stop acting like Fath-!!!” Mammon says before being startled by the feeling of a smaller hand touching his arm.
“It’s okay Mammon. It’s not worth being upset over. That’s just who he is.”
Mammon looks down at his younger brother with nothing but surprise.
“You shouldn’t be here..” Mammon tells him,”you should be taking it easy..”
“It’s okay. I’m okay now. My brothers made me feel better.”
Mammon turns to the door, to find his other younger siblings watching nervously.
He glances back in Lucifer’s direction, only to see him gone. He lets out a sigh of relief.
“You guys can come out, it’s alright.” Mammon tells them. They step out and Mammon watches as Satan runs to Beel, who picks him up with ease and a smile.
“Well I definitely missed something.” Mammon says watching the event unfold in front of him.
He watches as Asmo wipes a present tear from his eye as he cuddles Satan lovingly,”You could say that.”
Satan scowls at Asmo’s sudden display of affection but the fifth born pays no mind to it.
“He’s like a little cat.” Belphie tells him,”Isn’t that right Lev?”
“Yeah he’s a cute little brother or whatever. I guess. For now.” Leviathan crosses his arms.
Mammon watches his brothers with a thoughtful expression. He turns in the direction in which Lucifer left. He lets out a sigh before turning back to his younger brothers.
There is happy yet relieved smile from him,”Yeah he is. Isn’t he?”
It’s quiet for a while as the brothers recall the distant past.
“Were we wrong?” Asmo asks quietly,”We were wrong to just have accepted Lucifer’s word like that?”
“Lucifer told us to call him our brother- so that’s what we did-“ Levi yells out in desperation,”I mean- “
“what else were we suppose to tell him? No?”
“Maybe we could’ve said something-“Asmo admits,”…I won’t lie …and say I was a bit confused by Satan’s birth ..it always felt weird to call him my little brother.. maybe that’s why…I found it hard to get along with him at first..”
“I also found it really odd..”Beel tells them.
“Well it’s not like we can change the past so there’s no use dwelling on it.” Belphie sighs.
“But still!” Asmo tells them,”Something tells me we contributed to Satan’s meltdown…again.”
Levi let’s out a long frustrated sigh,”Well what are we suppose to do now? It’s not like we can force Lucifer to accept Satan…even if he does, I highly doubt Satan is going to welcome him with open arms.”
“Accept him how?” Asmo asks crossing his arms, ”Just exactly what are we expecting to happen?”
“I don’t know! Something ?!” Levi exclaims,”I just want things to go back to normal! If only Lucifer had just-“ Levi stammers,”If h-he had ..just .... “
Levi let’s out another deep sigh.
“Now I get how Satan and Mammon feel.” Levi murmurs.
His younger brothers look at him with a surprised expression.
“Stop staring at me!” Levi scowls,”Its just-“
“—Even though he calls Satan his brother—“ He shakes his head,”And he says he loves him- it’s just not the same thing…It’s not! The man who’s suppose to be your father …refuse to acknowledge you as much.. I’ve played too many games with this plot line to know how it usually ends!…”
“This is real life Levi!” Asmo huffs at him. A few quiet seconds go by before he quietly asks Levi,”how does it usually end?”
Levi has a glum expression,”You don’t wanna know.”
“You’re not helping!” Asmo let’s out a groan.
Belphie rubs his hand through his own hair to relieve tension,”I guess when you put it that way..I’d be pretty upset about it too… but that doesn’t mean the Anti-Lucifer League is changing its core values and goals - ”
“Oh shut up.” Asmo throws a pillow at him.
“Oof!”
“Yeah..”Beel hums,”It doesn’t help that Lucifer hardly bats an eye Satan’s way either. Unless, of course, Satan is getting into trouble…”
“We can’t just put all the blame on Lucifer!” Asmo argues.
“He’s Satan’s dad!” Levi argues back.
“But! Lucifer has done a lot for us! - he puts roof over our head, feeds us, and let’s indulge in our sins occasionally - he’s not all that heartless! I know he cares- he does! He’s a great brother! Sure he’s not all touchy feely all the time but that’s not something we should reprimand him for! can’t we at least see try to see his perspective before putting all blame on him?”
“The truth Asmo…is that Satan is Lucifer’s son. Whether we like to admit it or not…..Lucifer can be a great brother, but he can also be a shit dad.”Belphie determines.
Asmo crosses his arms once more with a sigh,”When you put it like that…l”
The room gets silent again.
“So….what now?” Asmo asks.
“Dunno.” Belphie replies.
“We’re literally right back at the beginning!” Levi cries in annoyance,”This feels like a problem between Satan and Lucifer— and those two are the most stubborn pricks I know!! Nothing is ever gonna get fixed if we don’t do SOMETHING.”
“So what do you propose we do?” Asmo asks,”I mean when it comes to touchy feely, those two are completely hopeless.. So that’s a total lost cause.”
Belphie groans,”It won’t matter if it doesn’t come from Lucifer.”
“Agreed. I think it’s time we tell Lucifer how we really feel. Maybe he’ll open up to the idea more about Satan...” Beel says.
“I think it’s a start.” Levi hums as Asmo agrees.
“So what about Mammon?” Belphie asks,”He’s pretty upset at Lucifer as well. Do you think maybe we should talk to him first?”
“It’s worth a shot.” Levi tells,”Though I don’t know if he’ll be up for it.”
“I think it’s best we give him some space…he might still be emotional from earlier... We should talk to him before dinner though.” Beel tells them. They all nods heads.
“So it’s settled, we talk to Mammon. Then we talk to Lucifer.”
“Why do I feel like this won’t end well.” Levi sighs.
“That’s because it never does.”
তততততততততততততততততততততততত

Hi hi hi it’s the author again! Originally this was only going to be two chapters long but I got so into writing I couldn’t help myself. Ahhh I swear comfort is coming soon, maybe lololol
Also, not that some care but I originally wrote in Mammon finding Satan but felt it would be too much for people . T-T
I was also gonna add Satan’s brothers finally accepting Satan as family during a flashback but personally I feel like the story isn’t centered around that but around his relationship to Lucifer and the way it’s affecting his relationships with everyone else.
Even though I purposely left out Lucifer interactions for chapter 1 and most of chapter 2
Anyways I’m sure there’s spelling errors and stuff in here I’ll get to eventually so forgive me >.<
I ranted on for too long! Sorry!

A short fic about cchipollos and technicolor-dreams lawyer/college professor rom-com!AU because I love Guinan and I love Guinans perspective on Picards and Qs relationship.
Context: In this AU Q cyberstalks Picard after the second meeting and Picards internet presence is rather spare and mostly private but there are a few places like Guinans Bar, Ten Forward, that he has left postive reviews on so Q tries to meet Picard at these places. Which imo is questionable behavior.
Tonight was not a regular night. Sure, her regulars, aside from one of her closest friends, were all there as would be expected for a friday afternoon at this time. But there was one person amongst her clients that she had not expected to see here. Let alone ever wanted to see in her bar. Quiny she-would-be-damned-if-she-ever-cared-enough-to-remember-his-entire-name Quinn. Or Q as he preferred to be called.
Still in his lawyers suit although even from a distance she could see that he put a bit of an extra effort in his appearance tonight. A bit too much hair gel in his hair, just a bit too strong of a cologne and a posture just a little bit to straight and self-conscious than to be entirely grounded in self-confidence, or in Qs case, arrogance.
For a short while she thought that Q was here on purpose for her, that he had gotten bored enough with his life and his job that he bothered to find this bar just to get on her and her clients nerves.
But Q did not pay her any mind. Even as she approached him with a 'What can I get you so you leave` his eyes were only briefly directed at her and a mutual look of dislike and distaste was exchanged only for Q to look at the door. But not, as she had hoped as a sign that he wanted to leave. No, he was clearly waiting for someone.
'Just one of your red wines will do', dismissive voice with an absent-minded hand gesture telling her to leave.
Briefly, for about less than a second, considering poisoning the drink and doing this entire town a favour, she gave Q his glass of red wine. He had not specified which one he had wanted so she gave him her worst. Which was still a quite decent one but she would not waste her actual good stuff on someone who she knew would not be able to appreciate it.
Q was still going between staring at his phone and taking glances at the door every time someone entered or exited it.
And then Jean-Luc Picard entered and she couldn't help a slight smile. He was a rather dear friend and his company was always something she looked forward to.
Much to her surprise and disapproval she was not the only one brightening up at Picards arrival.
Guinan has had the displeasure of seeing Q in court. The fake smile as he talks to witnesses and the honest, arrogant smile as he finds just the right passages and words to convince the Judge that his client is right. It's a song and dance that perhaps all lawyers are familiar with but Qs job seemed to have given him an, even for a lawyer, above average superiority complex. A complex that sometimes gave way to a whiny and spoilt brat that had clearly profited off nepotism nearly their entire life.
'Ah, Jean-Luc, what a coincidence to meet you here.'
It was not a coincidence, that was very much clear. The greeting as well seemed to her a bit rehearsed as well. But what wasn't entirely rehearsed was the emotion in Qs voice betraying just how glad he was to see the other man and a smile that was almost terrifingly sincere in her opinion and Guinan was sure that as Q went to talk with Picard that she or anyone else in her bar might as well be none-existent to Q.
