Sinful sensation

summary: the demon brothers sensing you're feeling their sin

pairing: demon bros x reader

tw: none

Lucifer

Get's pridefull of you being praud, and will ignore the fact that it's still a sin and a sign of being full of yourself or egoistic. In his eyes you're just a silly human who deserves to feel over the top sometimes. Feeling that sensation will make him smirk, wishing to see you imiediately and messaging you a ton of compliments. You rushing to tell him what happened will only fuel his pride - obviously, his sweet little human came to tell him first.

Mammon

He will come running to you if he senses you feeling greedy. He just needs to see that, maybe take a few picturies, record that, draw it if he has to, his human is simply too cute to not memorise it in some way. He would make u a photoshoot if he could, it doesn't matter you look the same as always!

If you're already out of money, he will give you his goldie. Here, you can buy yourself something nice (he's too embarrased of his blush to see what unnecessary thing you're about to buy)

Leviathan

Will find out who made you envious and will proceed to feel envious of them. What do you mean you're thinking about those people! You are already great, pretty and so cool, and you should have been thinking about him and his games! Do you not like spending time with him?? Is it becouse of those stupid idiots?? Is he not good enough?

Your jealeusy is often short lived if you're near him. He will either cheer you up or spiral into envy which will make you the one helping.

Asmodeus

Will try to help you out whatever the sytuation is. Lucifer yelling at you making you blush? Will come running to "flirt" with him so you don't have to deal with the embarassent. Feeling highly attracted to somebody? Will try to set you two up. Wanting to feel good tonight? Will join in. Which is, of course, his favorite kind of help he offers.

Satan

Usually he will help you get calm again, for example by calling and checking up on you. If you don't answer he will just wait in his room so you can always find you yourself. Sometimes tho, when he's in a bad mood and feels his favorite human also pissed he will start making imaginary scenarios in his head. He didn't eat today, got B instead of A on a test, got scammed by Mammon, and probably his human is getting threatened by some filthy lower demons! He should kill them! He has to find you and destroy them!

Beelzebub

Belphegor

He feels as if he grew a second black hole in his stomach. In those days you never feel full or satysfied which makes him worry. You try to spend 6 hours at the gym which he allows on only if you eat, drink and rest from time to time. Accompanies you on all side quests from Diavolo that you obliged to go on. He even bought you an emergency freezer just so you don't waste the access food you bought (will also help eating that ofc). He doesn't mind helping you with your gluttony, he feels responsable for it.

He knows you've overworked in student council when feels your sloth. Every time when you had enough you start to get reluctant to work or make any effort. He just takes you home and helps you get in bed. He will make you change into pyjamas, but only because he knows how uncomfortable it is to sleep in uniform. Might also keep you well feed but dont expect him to remind you of brushing your teeth, hair or such unimportant tasks.

He's happy you get to procrastinate together. But sometimes this word slips from his mouth - and it's a wake up call you better pick up.

So, the difference between gluttony and greed (from what I've read) is that the first is more of consumerism and food wasting for your pleasure and greed is for control, money and such and for a person to desperately get higher then others. I hope I get that in well enough?

franz ferdinand goes to ikea: part oen

Picturie this… It is a nice day in glasgow scotland 2002 and 4 lovely chaps are sitting in their desolate dusty ass warehouse they did some hardcore bargaining for. They are sitting on the dusty ass floor drinrking tea. There is dust in their tea.

“Guysss i theink we need to get furniture the floor is hurting my back.” Bob suggests, raising hsi finge rin the air like a fucking cartoon character. Alex sighs and nods. “Yeha i think that is a good idea robert.” He repelies. “Wtf!(what the flip)dont call me that” robert says. “I agree with robert byron hardy” Nick adds after taking a sip of his tea and grimacaing att the gritty texture. 

“We should go to ikea.” Paul pipes up. Everyeone nods in unison, very enthusiastic about the idea, chatting amongst themselves. “To the franzmobile”Says everyone. They all line up single file after neatly placing their tea on the dusty floor instead of the tray. They walka oit to the franzmobile after falling down all of the stairs. Paul hops in the drivers seat while nick calls shotgun, alex and bob piling in the back. Paul starts driving fukl sppeed maximum speed limit3gb offast to their nearest ikea99 Kings Inch Dr, Glasgow G51 4FB, United Kingdom. 

“Ok guys! What kinds of furniture should we get.” Nick asks excitedly, turning back to look at the two guys in the back. “Four mattress” Alex and bob say inunison. Paul nods. “Make it five. The Small man living in the crevice needs one too.” He adds, looking in the rearview mirror. The rest of the companay in the car nods in agreement. “We need BJÖRKSNÄS” Bob susggets with a beaming grin. The car erupts in excited cdheers, very puemoed up about the concept. “I love nightstand.” Alex says.

They make 12 u turns parallel parking 19 to the fifth powertumes before they make it to the ikea at 99 Kings Inch Dr, Glasgow G51 4FB, United Kingdom. Paul mutters in frustration and grifips the steering wherl tightly as they searcg for a parking spot. Once they finally find one, they clamber out of the franzmobile and head towards the establishment. 

“Do you think we will fifn inspiration for a new song here?” Paul asks, breaking the silenece of their walk. Alex screws usp his face in thought for a moment, having not considered the idea. “Perhaps…..” he mumbles. Bob sisghs wistfully, lpst in thousght. Nick whips his heda around from up ahead, stopping his footsteps briefly to let the others actach up. “They got meatball here” He calls,pointing back at the building. 

Once they step inside tehy head upstairs and inspeect their surroundings. “We go this way” Paul says, pointing to the arrows projected on the floor. They follow them and go for a circle for 10 minutes. Once they do their laps, they split up. Paul and bob test out how comfortable their couches are while alex and nick discuss decor ideas. “Wow! Is this real authentic true mona lisa” Nick asks as he spots a tapestry of the painting. “NO leonardo discaprio is noT AFFILIATED WITH IKEA NICHOLAS” Alex repleis, making Nick frown.”Oh”

“Who painted the mona lisa yeha mona lisa. Da vinki” Says the voros twins. “OH MY GOD IS THAT THE VOROS TWINS”Someone exclaims, making the 4 scotsmen turn to look as an excited crowd forms around the two men. “Who ar ethey?’ bob comments to no one in particular since they all seem quite clueless, scratching his head. Paul shrugs, seeming more interested in the couches. #DaHypey

After continuing their ministrations for a bit, they meet up at the couches. “So. What have you found?” Alex asks, leaning against the back of a red couch, resting his chin on his fist and looking at them expectantly. Paul and bob excitedly usher them to a nice blue woolen couch, Paul motioning to the piece of furniture as bob flops down on it, sinking comfortably into the plush material. “4 quid for the ikea couch” He says.

“Hiw do we get couch?” Nick asks, raising his brows inquisitively. Pauls expression morphs into one of thought, and he leans his arm on the armrest on the couch, standing and tapping his foot as he tries to jog his memory. Alex sits down on the couch next to bob, sighing, thinking about the dudes who looked like paintbrushes rather than the current question that the other 3 men are pondering. “Let’s find a worker and ask.” Bob pipes up, making the rest of his company nod in agrement at the idea. They set off from the couch section to find someone.

Equus monstrosis capite humano [17th century Europe]

The description “Equus monstrosis capite humano” simply means “monstrous horse with a human head”. Which is very fitting and descriptive. I encountered this creature in Schenk von Grafenberg’s 1609 medical work “Monstrorum historia memorabilis”, which is a book about birth defects.

This weird story supposedly happened in the battle of Altinus, between Florence and Pisa. I do not know where “Altinus” is, but keep in mind that I’m not exactly fluent in Latin so I might have made a mistranslation there. From my limited knowledge of Italian history, I think this may be the battle of Cascina in 1364.

In any case, while the battle was raging, a woman gave birth to a bizarre creature. The being much resembled a common horse except for its head, which was clearly human. When the creature opened its mouth, it made wailing noises that sounded human. One soldier found the woman who had just given birth – it is unknown whether she survived the gruesome event – but decided that the newly born horse was clearly a monster and an abomination. He drew his sword and ended its life.

It seems to me that it’s fairly obvious what really happened there. A woman gave birth to an infant with a severe birth defect, presumably something that made it vaguely resemble a horse foal. This story was passed on several times and was likely exaggerated to the point of fiction, until the malformed child turned into a horse with a human head.

The image on the left depicts a similar case, which was discussed on the same page and so I assume the author taught them related. In this case, a woman gave birth to a lion cub with the head of a human girl. No date or details are given.

- you don't seem to have been a person of many friends

- oh but I had several. They just weren't common friends.

- what do you mean?

- I had the twins Oliver and Oscar, Sarah, Bruna, Maria and Raquel. I had the picturi and the Polaris. The eyes, the violet and the carnation.

- look like common names to me?

- most of them weren't alive. Oliver and Oscar were trees that grew side by side. Sarah was the shells of the sea, and Bruna was a forest rabbit. Picturi and Polaris are stars, violet and carnation can be deduced. Eyes were that trees with eye-like designs.

- What about Maria and Raquel?

- they were the village girls. They danced and walked and laughed and were happy. I kept wondering if one day I could dance at parties with them.

- ah...

- I'm glad I was a creative child. Living inside a laboratory, alone, being a lab rat is not the best childhood.

- I imagine, it must be tedious.

- most days it was yes. But at least that solitude led me to learn the names of various plants, stars and animals. It also led me to learn how to see things in a lighter way. Although not everything that came was.... Good.

- like what?

- .... That one i dont Tell.

The Venuses of Housework / Les Venus de ménage / Venus menajere

EN

8 small 3D printed sculpture collages

Hommage to Louise Bourgeois

The Venuses of Housework have been created using the latest technology in order to remind us that some things never change, or if they do, they do so very very slowly. Women’s rights are progressing but their liberation currently involves a triple workload. I have tried to represent this workload visually or, at least, two thirds of it. Louise Bourgeois’ series of paintings titled Femme-maison featured such female bodies composed of houses from the waist up. Their invisibility and vulnerability is still very relevant today.

RO

O serie de 8 sculpturi imprimate 3D Omagiu lui Louise Bourgeois Sculpturile Venus menajeră au fost create folosind o tehnologie foarte recentă pentru a ne reaminti că unele lucruri nu se schimbă niciodată sau, dacă se întâmplă, o fac foarte, foarte încet.

 Drepturile femeilor progresează treptat, dar realitatea lor implică în prezent un volum triplu de muncă: munca la serviciu, munca de menaj și de îngrijire a copiilor (adeseori invizibilă, pentru că societatea consideră că femeile când sunt acasă „nu lucrează”) și efortul depus pentru a fi cât mai atrăgătoare fizic. Am încercat să creez o reprezentare vizuală a acestui volum de muncă sau, cel puțin, a două treimi din el.

Seria de picturi a lui Louise Bourgeois din anii 40, intitulată Femme-maison, prezenta niște corpuri similare, goale de la brâu în jos și compuse din case de la brâu în sus. Invizibilitatea și vulnerabilitatea lor este și astăzi foarte actuală.
