Ok I wanna talk more about my OC Mio from my fic Pretty Little Pet where I ship him with Raphael. So under the cut I'll put:

Art!! (mostly picrews and one drawing by me)

Mio's life before Raphael bought him

Raphael buying Mio

How Raphael treats Mio and his motivations

About Mio being Raphael's pet

Art

First of, I intentionally never described Mio's appearance in the fic, because I kinda wanted the reader to imagine their own version of Mio. So if you read my fic and are now going "Wow I thought Mio looked really different!" That's totally valid! He can look however you want! (Also please tell me how you imagined him, I'd love to hear about it!)

The first picture I drew myself, but it's heavily referenced off of the picrew in the second picture.

The second and third pic are basically a timeline of how Mio changes throughout the story (and the different outfits he wears). The other picrews are random outfits and based on vibes haha

And the 8th pic is my attempt at making him in BG3, he's a half-elf here because I didn't like any of the male elf faces ^^'

Before Raphael

Mio is a male high elf in his 30s, living with his parents. Mio is his child name, as his parents have not yet given him an adult name.

His parents are criminals, although Mio isn’t aware of that, thinking they also work regular jobs. They mostly commit petty crimes but still dream of one day running a criminal empire. Every time something goes wrong they just skip town. The few times one of them gets caught and released for [money] they blame it on their lack of finances, making Mio feel guilty for not working enough.

Mio was definitely not planned and he often feels unwanted. His parents treat him like a child and while they aren’t physically abusive, they will berate him for the slightest mistakes, send him to bed or work without letting him eat and are just generally pretty shitty.

His parents make him work regular jobs like waiting tables, cleaning and other work that requires little education. He’s their only reliant source of income. Despite this, he has no control over their finances, all money going directly to his parents.

He has little contact with other people, working most of the time and leaving town before he could make meaningful relationships with his coworkers.

Mio is generally shy but polite, pretty much in customer service mode at all times. He has learned to just do whatever his parents tell him to, to avoid getting yelled at or going hungry yet again. Since his parents often tell him that he’s still a child by elf standards, his only real aspiration is to reach elven adulthood (generally around 100 years) and receive his adult name, so that he may leave his parent’s household and become independent. (Most elves in his position, living in mixed society and working,  would have already left their parent’s household. Mio’s parents intentionally keep this false worldview around him so that he’ll stay and keep working for them.)

Raphael buys Mio

Mio’s parents have the brilliant idea to get the money they need to start their criminal empire by selling their son. They seek out various options until Raphael answers. They sell their son for just a few hundred gold coins (Mio is unaware of this). We know from the game that Raphael has bought people before, so it’s not OOC for him. Mio is still considered a child by elf standards so that’s why his parents are able to legally sell him. (Also Gortash could sell Karlach to Zariel no problem and she just worked for him, so the rules on who can sell people are a bit weird anyways.)

 Raphael doesn’t really need Mio, he mostly accepts the offer to see how his parents will fail spectacularly at trying to make a criminal empire and have a bit of fun with that, maybe even profit from the chaos they cause doing this or make another deal for their souls down the line.

Raphael still wants to put his new purchase to work and tries to determine how Mio could be useful for him. While they talk in his office Raphael shows Mio his cambion form. Mio is enamored by his form, and Raphael is not immune to flattery. Raphael also notices that Mio is easily flustered, blushes a lot and is very touch starved.

Raphael enjoys all of these reactions Mio has for him and decides to have some fun with that. He makes Mio the offer to become his pet, with the caveat that only Raphael is allowed to touch him.

Mio is aware he’s dealing with a devil here, who literally owns him and could just decide to torture him instead, so of course he accepts. Generally Mio knows that he has to do what Raphael tells him to and keep him happy, or risk making Raphael angry and getting killed or tortured. While their relationship gets more relaxed later on, Mio is always aware that Raphael is the one in control and he often has anxiety over accidentally doing something that might upset Raphael.

At this point, Raphael doesn’t have any concrete plans for what he’s going to do with Mio, he just thinks he’s cute and wants to see if he can turn him into a loyal and obedient pet by just showing him a bit of kindness. And if that doesn’t work out, it’d probably be still fun to just torture him.

Raphael’s treatment of Mio

Raphael treats Mio generally pretty well, because I believe Raphael can be a reasonable person. Korilla says she likes working for Raphael and the archivist and Nubaldin seem to be at least content working for him. Devils are also lawful evil, so I think they appreciate it when their rules are being followed. Of course, rules can also be intentionally set up to be impossible to follow, so they have an excuse to punish those who break them. 

When Mio breaks the “Only Raphael can touch him” rule, it’s mostly because someone else touched him without his consent. He still gets punished for it and Raphael enjoys making Mio suffer, although he only hurts Mio to an extent he knows he can handle, not wanting to actually break him. Raphael praises Mio for accepting his punishment willingly, which gives Mio conflicting feelings about these punishments. He doesn’t enjoy being tortured, but he likes the praise and attention he receives afterwards and he knows that Raphael enjoys hurting him and wants Raphael to be happy.

By Mio’s standards, Raphael treats him pretty well. He gets his own room and new clothes, much better quality and style than his old clothes. He gets access to the servant’s baths and kitchen (I’m making the HoH way bigger than it is in the game btw) and he can eat as much as he wants. Raphael even tells him to eat at least three meals per day (Mio is used to less so he only eats two when he first arrives).

Raphael makes him work at first, telling him to clean the archive. He does this in part because he wants Mio to keep busy but also because he wants to know if Mio is the kind of person who would try to take a look at his things without permission. The archivist has secret instructions to keep an eye on Mio and report to Raphael on his behavior. Mio isn’t really aware of this test and just cleans the archive as instructed. Later, Raphael has him clean the halls and eventually Mio doesn’t have to do any work anymore, as he has other stuff to keep him busy.

Mio being a pet

Raphael is a devil (technically a half devil but whatever) and I think devils generally see mortals as beneath them. So it’s not uncommon for devils to treat mortals similar to how we would treat cats or dogs (though devils tend to be a lot less nice to their pets).

As his pet, Raphael has Mio sit by his side while he reads or works and strokes his hair or touches his skin. Mio enjoys being pet because he received very little affection before. He also can just relax during these petting sessions, he’s technically not doing anything but he’s still being useful, so he doesn’t have to feel guilty about doing nothing.

Raphael enjoys these petting sessions because he likes how receptive Mio is to him, Mio makes a lot of little noises and leans into Raphael’s touch. Also he has something to occupy himself that isn’t too distracting from his reading/work. Mio essentially functions as a fidget toy for Raphael. Also, petting your pet is just nice!!

Occasionally, Raphael will take Mio to parties or meetings. He likes to dress him up for these events, which Mio also enjoys. It’s a way for Raphael to show off his wealth and style, Mio is essentially an accessory in these moments. Raphael will also sometimes ask Mio to do things just to amuse himself or others, to show how obedient his pet is.

Ok I ended up writing a lot more than I intended and I didn't even get to talk about Haarlep and Mio's relationship with sex yet!! Guess that'll have to wait for another post. If anyone has questions or wants to talk about Mio or Raphael, my ask is always open :)

maybe I want a platonic life partner so bad because I just want a friend to care about me the same amount I care about them. i just want a friend to understand the level of which I love and to feel the same way. to not be overwhelmed by how deeply I care for them.

i want a friend to stay.

Happy New Year Everyone!! It’s not new year where am at but I always posting this on every 31st of December every year.

This 2025 the name will change on sites I’m on including PlayStation Network and Tumblr. And Angel will no longer be my secondary fursona/persona in 2025. She’ll be a full time OC. And I’ll be ending up correcting people not to call me Angel anymore.

This is my last edit pic for 2024 of me and Angel. Have a good day or night and a Happy New Year!🎆🎊 ~Princess

Whoops here's more about my boy Mio, from my fic Pretty Little Pet where I ship him with Raphael! Some thoughts on:

Mio’s name

Raphael and Haarlep (specifically their relationship in my fic)

Mio and Haarlep

Mio’s name

When Raphael asks him what to call him he says “Whatever you want”. And when others ask who he is, he says that he’s Raphael’s pet. So, Mio hasn’t told anyone his name. This isn’t intentional btw, Mio isn’t aware of this.

Raphael only ever calls him “pet” and Haarlep calls him by various nicknames, eventually settling on “kitten”.

I think the contract Raphael made with Mio’s parents doesn’t mention his name, only referring to him by “first born child” because then the contract still works even if Mio changed his name.

All of this means (and I’m not sure yet if I’m making this canon) that it’s entirely possible Raphael doesn’t know Mio’s name. And Mio doesn’t know that Raphael doesn’t know. I just think that’s funny ^^’

I got the name from Astrid Lindgren’s “Mio, my son”, I never read the book but I watched the movie as a kid and just liked the name.

Raphael and Haarlep

(This is specifically about Raphael and Haarlep’s relationship within my fic, not necessarily an interpretation of canon, although I’ve tried to keep it canon compliant.)

When Raphael first received Haarlep he binds them to secrecy with a contract or spell. He still suspects that Haarlep might find a way to tell Mephsitopheles things so he takes care not to let them know anything he wouldn’t want Mephisto to know. (He doesn’t know that Haarlep isn’t there to spy on him, they were literally just sent to distract him from some scheme of his that was getting on Mephisto’s nerves.)

Raphael uses them for sex, which suits Haarlep fine. At some point they both figure out that Raphael is a total sub and while Raphael denies this at first because he’s embarrassed, he eventually accepts it, convincing himself that it’s only because he’s always in charge during his day-to-day life, so of course reversing roles during sex would be a good outlet and let him relax (and yes, that’s part of it, but he also just enjoys being submissive). Haarlep doesn’t actually care about Raphael being a sub and doesn’t think anyone else would either. And while this secret getting out wouldn’t ruin Raphael, it would still embarrass him.

They’ve been together for centuries, Haarlep probably knows Raphael better than anyone else. They’ve been having sex together for so long they’ve become bored of each other. While Raphael has sex with other people as well, he doesn’t want him being submissive to get out, so he keeps it pretty vanilla with other partners and doesn’t have any long term sexual relationships. This means that Haarlep is the only person who can fulfill his needs for when he wants to be submissive. He lets/makes Haarlep dom him all the time, they don’t really have any other kind of sex anymore, even though Haarlep would like to switch it up sometimes.

Haarlep can sometimes really get on Raphael’s nerves, but he can’t easily get rid of them because they were a gift and releasing or killing them would be considered an insult. While he doesn’t really care about what his father thinks of him, killing Haarlep isn’t worth finding out what Mephisto would do in retaliation. Haarlep knows this and likes to push the boundaries, Raphael will punish them if they go too far but sometimes, punishment is better than boredom. 

Boredom is really Haarlep’s biggest problem. As a personal incubus they’ve got it pretty good as far as possible positions for succubi/incubi go. They have at some point convinced Raphael to let other people have sex with them as well, as Raphael didn’t use them often enough and they need at least some “sex energy” to stay healthy, if not alive.

Raphael made them take his form when he was much younger, so that’s why Haarlep looks slightly different from him. Raphael makes them have sex with people who want to fuck him as part of their contract (he words the contract in such a way that it doesn’t actually have to be him). Also the thing where the people whose form they have taken can feel what they feel is something they can turn on and off at will.

Mio and Haarlep

Haarlep doesn’t really care about Mio at first. Raphael will often play around with mortals for a few weeks or months before he loses interest and they disappear. They still like to tease and play with Mio and are a bit annoyed that they aren’t allowed to touch (or have sex with) him. They don’t break this rule because they would be punished too and they would rather keep playing with Mio.

Mio doesn’t really know what to make of Haarlep either. He knows they’re teasing him but at least they aren’t outright mean to him. They are also one of the few people in the HoH, aside from Raphael, he can have any kind of longer conversation with. Mio thinks of Haarlep as a kind of coworker, one who’s been working the job for ages and can be asked for advice, although they might not necessarily help him.

Things change a bit when Mio starts having sex with Raphael. Haarlep is pretty glad to have someone else to take care of Raphael’s sexual needs and give them a bit of a break. Which means they now have an interest in keeping Mio around and at least happy and healthy enough so he can keep Raphael satisfied enough in bed.

Raphael is pretty busy with work (writing fanfiction, stalking finding potential clients, torturing unfortunate souls, etc.) and doesn’t have time to keep either Haarlep or Mio entertained. Which ends up with them spending a lot of time together just talking, playing lanceboard or Haarlep teaching Mio a few tricks to use in the bedroom.

So, while Mio and Haarlep aren’t necessarily friends, they get along pretty well, keep each other company while Raphael doesn’t need them and Haarlep wants Mio to stick around as long as possible so he doesn’t have to visit Raphael’s bed as often anymore.

I've also already written 1.5k about Mio, sex and bdsm but that's for another post!!
