I Solomon said unto him: “Beelzeboul what is thy employment?” And (s)he answered me: “I destroy kings. I ally myself with foreign tyrants. And my own demons I set on to men, in order that the latter may believe in them and be lost. And the chosen servants of God, priests, and faithful men, I excite unto desires for wicked sins, and evil heresies, and lawless deeds; and they obey me, and I bear them on to destruction. And I inspire men with envy, and desire for murder, and for wars, and sodomy, and other evil things. And I will destroy the world.” - The Testament of Solomon

Someone sent me a message on Discord like "why is everyone obsessed with the Random Guy" in regards to the tags on my previous post. SO. I definitely rambled there but also I love this plot a whole lot and it's very dear to me so:

Tolliver is the "Just a Guy" who Kronos wants dead for stealing all of the Devil's focus. The thing is, Tolliver doesn't WANT the focus but not much he can do! He was born and his parents opted to sell /his/ soul to the succubi in exchange for wealth and fame. So while they retained souls (and then promptly died after ticking off the wrong people with their money and habits, coincidental deaths of course) he doesn't have that leniency. He can do whatever he wants and he'll still be dragged to Hell when he dies even if he's a saint. His soul is already waiting for him down there.

So the Devil is like "well, time to send low ranking demons after my living toy but I distinctly do not wish him dead yet" and that's not really a thing Tolliver knows. So he thinks if he doesn't really fight back he's just gonna die early and while he doesn't think it's nice on earth, he'd rather not start his eternal burning quite yet. So he uses a magic marker (literally) to ward off and banish the demons. That's why the Devil is invested in him - it's entertainment on earth with his future property!

Kronos going up to kill him and then failing and then becoming his roommate is actually the reason why other demons kinda track Tolliver. They're tracking Kronos. They need Kronos back in Hell come on stop loitering on earth buddy. (he continues to loiter on earth)

The siren is purely coincidental in that Tolliver sees her when it's cold and gives her his jacket completely unaware she isn't even human. Then we have one of the bad guys, The Boogeyman. He feeds off of nightmares and that means Tolliver is a delight since all he HAS is nightmares. Man's never had a good dream in his life. So it's a nice little "promised" meal but he ropes the Sandman into luring others to sleep for him to feed off of. Eventually Lady Luck gets involved with Boogie and she's a bit arrogant and childish (there's lore there) and then she sees Tolliver. Fighting against Boogie's grasp despite having nothing to fight for. And she decides he deserves one win in his life since it's clear that the hand he's been dealt sucks. And stops helping Boogie which ends up being his demise.

All the demons that directly interact with Tolliver aren't there for the random guy, honestly. They're there for Kronos. Who unfortunately is obsessed with Tolliver (and he's got such a weird gay crush on the guy and gets so emotionally distraught when Tolliver doesn't feel the same cause he doesn't feel anything for anyone because he doesn't have a soul and feels zero attachment.)

for as much as i support whatever the hell furries are doing and im sure its all fine i really have never in my life understood it- and i have actively tried, like put effort into trying to see the appeal- which is fine. not for me, and i wont understand, and thats just how it is with some stuff

for a year, i was abroad for school. i kept in regular contact with my family of course, but by nature of being so far away and also just because its not how conversations work, i was never 100% aware of what everyone was doing. for instance, my little sisters are always getting into new stuff and hobbies and whatnot, and i was probably privy to only about half of it, whereas im usually aware of at least 80% of it if im in the country

the point of both of these statements is that i came back from a year away to spend an extended amount of time with them to catch up a bit and make up for lost face-to-face time and they immediately bombarded me with furry terminology. they had both gotten into warrior cats while i was gone, and are making fursuit heads. which is fine thats pretty normal 11yo behavior all things considered but theres few greater shocks in your life than sitting with someone you do not at all associate with that sorta thing and having them look up to you with their big trusting "youre my role model for some reason" eyes and go "do you have a fursona?" and having to swallow the strange discomfort you associate with the term while also trying to process that they know what that all is AND try and categorize the information you know on the subject into "age appropriate", "not age appropriate," "stuff they probably know anyway regardless of whether its appropriate or not," and "stuff i can try and relate to them about this" taking points. all fast enough that you dont hesitate too long and can formulate a nice, encouraging response. also youre on 13 hours of jetlag

"no i dont, but i know what that is. do you have one? can i see? "

Buck how do you feel about being a tumblr sexyman, ya fuckin texyman

In all honesty? After doin' some diggin'- ah don't understand whats wit ya varmints n' this whole... "tumblr sexyman" thing. And frankly, ah'm a little insulted that yer puttin' me in t' same category as a buncha glorified broomsticks and seemingly any kinda man or woman or banana y'all can get yer hands on. Y'all parading 'round t' streets wit this- yer nuisances at best.

Y' see? Y'all can fight t' yer hearts content, if ya really want to- but ah ain't gonna be y'alls prized hog. Ah ain't easy pickin's- and I'd rather focus on... other things. Now, if you'll ex-

Tibs- Tiberius, eh? Well... Even if we ain't at t' same rankin'... or department... ah greatly admire t' work he does. Most suits- especially those city-folk suits- hardly have t' the kinda dedication n' skills that he's got- let alone respect those traits. But Tibs- anyone wit a good head on their shoulders aughta take note n' admire t' work he does. He's a damn good detective too- never thought ah'd meet one in real life- but by cog, if y' could see 'im in action... it's somethin' else, ah'll say that. Chances are, fer th' pests readin' this, y'all wouldn't even 'ppricate it. T' fact that he's takin' care o' Redd n Andrew too- fatherhood ain't easy, yet he just- grabbed t' bull by the horns n took the reins, just like that-! Not t' mention he's got quite t' nice set o' claw-

We know what you are, Buck.

... Then say it t' my face.

No.

Echo *laying in his bunk*: Hey Pickup do you believe in a higher power?

Pickup *half asleep*: Like what? Commander Tano?

Fives *confused*: No I think Echo means-

Pickup *clicks his fingers*: Oh, like General Skywalker?

Echo *shakes his head*: No, I mean the Force. The grand cosmic power. Destiny and Fate. That kind of thing.

Pickup *who watches Jedi do amazing feats everyday with the Force*: Nope. Bunch of space wizard osik.

anyway, another aesthetic for despa x teru (oc) in an imperial-1870s-convenient-marriage!au.

teru frowned, "dear prince despa, you have shown no regard that indicated you esteem or admire me! you see that if we marry it will be for my luck than yours, don't you?"

"oh how so?"

despa's face took an air of complete innocence; it took her entire limbs to not roll her eyes.

"my dowry is not as grand as that of the now empress," she grits. "i have no material inheritance except for my father's book and...—oh, don't tell me you covet his collections, you horrid man!"

he laughed, "perhaps i do, but then—who said that your dowry is insignificant?! you are the granddaughter the king masse, and combined with the income my brother will bestow upon me after this union—my dear, we will live like kings of the south!"

teru scoffed, "if your desire is purely material, its hardly worth considering."

"my brother wants to shoo me and ouken to independence—and that pup won't marry his darling before i do. desha was also lecturing about ...," despa waved his hands about, "expanding and maintaining the dynasty, whatever; though i bet he wouldn't even take that responsibility hadn't he seen and fell over himself with your cousin. well, fortunately and unfortunately, such is the present duty for us three. and its not like there will or has been a proposal as good as this, princess teru."

she rose from her seat, a flurry of ruffles walking over him. "oh, you and your insolent mouth!

his footsteps trailed after her pleats further into the glass house, "you and your spirits! this is what i like—and what drove that miserable duke away and leave all the blessings for me to win your hand."

"you're no better than those perverse fiends spurred on by sheer feminine disdain—i want nothing of it!"

"i haven't talked to you as any less than human now, have i? tell me, teru, would you like a man who'd cower and nod at whatever you say or take an engaging partner?"

"peace and tranquility wont kill anyone. you'd never leave me to my own company."

"quite the contrary!—have you forgotten those months ahead of the wedding? we got along splendid! and i intend to take you around the world, teru. see places; towns, villages, castles, beaches and those valleys under your mountain. i'd speak as my brothers emissary in stadiums and universities where you'd be welcome to its histories and architectures. what sights of the world! surely it will be better than wandering about your cousin's court? and don't you think we'd make a fine couple together? even if you do tire of me, i'm sure honi will take you in—"

teru bristled, "i won't depend on anyone!"

"then i'm offering my other house in the country. when you tire of me, i give you leave to go there and live your pastoral life."

teru's heart had soared at the thought of travels - but then with his offers for separate living might seem kindly but 'tis as if he doesn't want anything to do with her. her father would frown at it. not that it's a concern to be voiced now.

"there's hardly any benefit for you in this," teru said, sitting down on an old wooden bench before the orchids. "money, yes perhaps - but then what? companionship? a-and then even about the money; i might spend it more than you estimated and you'll have the same or less as you usually life on!"

"i'm sure you'll manage my allowance instead, so i have no worry on that part. you forget status! marriage is respected in the underworld (or will be, with what impression we're trying to build now), especially to a member of such a respected, old dynasty of sky-warriors like you! we'll be force a in the underworld - our brain, our looks, our character! imagine what you - we! can achieve together. teru, i see no one else filling that position of the grand duchess."

despa had paused in gesturing as if to drive his earnestness deep into her. she looked up at him, meeting his brown eyes. there was none of his goading smiles despite the fire in his eyes. the gift was unwrapped in her hand, she need only pocket it.

"don't make me laugh"

"nonsense. i have scoped the continent last year, none of these young ladies hold a candle to you. i thought you striking at our first meeting, and further months of contemplation only proved that—well, i won't—neither of us, that is! we won't will like it if you choose a fool instead."

teru smiled as he reverted into flattery. the preening lion of the underworld, desperate for a woman well-past the marriage market. she would not crumble as easily... but he was right in the sense that it is an opportunity...

so will she throw it all away and languish like a dusty, priced tome or seize the opportunity like a wick to a flame? to burst together into a fire cracker? it is simply too tempting...

"give me time." with that teru rose, resuming back into her ingrained royal air - back tall with an extended hand, "come to dinner tomorrow, prince despa."

Because why not, here's Rugan's arbitrary ranking of each bastion in Amnytas:

1: The Bastion of the Obscure

In the top spot we have the Bastion of the Obscure, a place filled with mysteries and dangerous research what's not to love about it? As one NPC who's name I forget says "The Bastion of the Obscure creates knowledge" And Rugan, being an engineer who's always looking to improve his craft, really vibes with that.

2: The Bastion of Knowledge

It's got a big-ass library filled with likely more knowledge than anywhere else on Tyria, what more is there to say?

3: The Bastion of Nature

while it's focus of life isn't exactly Rugan's thing, it's by far the prettiest Bastion and He can appreciate a good view

4: The Bastion of Strength

While Rugan definitely appreciates the straightforward approach and focus on Battle magic, it's, too spellcraft focused for him. And besides, it's where [story event redacted for spoilers] happens, so it has some bad memories

5: The Bastion of The Celestial

Some of the systems they use to record the stars are impressive, he hasn't really gotten a good introduction to it as during his stay in Amnytas so far it's been fully taken over by the Kryptis, so it ranks low mostly by default

6: The Bastion of Balance

Sorry Lyhr, but Rugan's spent a decade worrying about the balance of Tyria, so this bastion loses by default. Honestly his eye twitches a bit when someone brings up the word balance. This Bastion's focus on debate doesn't score it any points either.

[carbonateddelusion]

could I kissie him?

before the cult? no.

after, when he's made it a cult of personality with him at the helm? hell yeah, brother. he'll probably give you a hug, too. good luck getting him off of you
