[forgottenfurs]

when the question of an event or circumstance I seek to enter makes me feel hot in my body and tight in my chest, I really must ask this question: what is the purest intention here? And if it takes hours to sift through the thoughts I will. I do not wish to fool myself !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey there! Can I please request the Stardust Crusaders with an immortal! Chinese! fem reader who's an opera singer and offers sage-like wisdom through her stories and songs? She's also a Hamon user and lived through the events of Phantom Blood and helped Jonathan, Erina and Speedwagon. Reader has a dragon Stand which she can control with her singing. (Stand Name: Dragon King)

Long ago, Reader was kidnapped by Dio's minions from her homeland and she was forced to sing for him at the mansion. She manages to escape with the help of Avdol. When the crusaders ask her about Dio, she tells her story with an entire song about how she was treated like a bird in a cage by Dio, complete with shadow puppets. When they all finally go face-to-face with Dio at Cairo, Reader fights back with the strength of a dragon.

Dio: Ah, (Y/N), it's been a while since we've met. Have you finally came back to me, Dio? If so, bow to your conqueror!

Reader: No matter how hard the wind blows, the mountain cannot bow to it.

You thought Dio, and his legacy, ended that night the ship sunk and Johnathan died. You were working as an opera performer in China, but also a hamon user. You wanted to see the world, so you got a on an English ship, and headed to London. When you arrived, you found work as a stage performer at an Ogre Street bar. You met Johnathan and Speedwagon as they were looking for more hamon users. They found you, and extended the offer to defeat Dio. You joined their cause and met Erina along the way.

You had told them of your immortality, and they took it... well enough.

On thier side, you helped defeat Dion, Wang Chan, and any other villain in the groups way. You would perform songs to easy their nerves, and you would advice to the group. The advice was always a bit riddle like, but it was very sound and reasonable.

When Johnathan died, and Dio was "defeated", you decided to returnto China.

The turth about your immortality, and your exist was taken to the grave by Erina and Speedwagon. Or, so you belived.

You had gone on a trip to Egypt, and you enjoyed the culture and people. You had thought that your life was not in any danger, but you were wrong.

You had been enjoying yourself when you ran into a silver haired young man with half heart earrings. He acted lost and had asked for your help, you told him you didn't know where he wanted to go. You tried to ignore him, but he grabbed you. You fought back with your hamon, but something you didn't see had cut you and something like metal was against your neck.

Before you can ask what he wanted, he dragged you to a mansion. Dio smirked as you were dragged in by Polnareff, Dio grabbed your chin and smirked as he mocked you.

You tried to fight back, by it wasn't working and you ended up being chained up in the mansion. His minions weren't very cruel to you... sometimes. But Dio would make you sing for him, and he would always call you "little nightingale". After weeks, Dio took you with him to recruit Avdol. Before running away, Avdol used Magician's Red to free you. Before running, you got cut by something gold. Now, you have a Stand, you call Dragon King.

Avdol

When he first saw you, he felt bad for you

After the helped you escape, he taught you how to handle your new Stand

Acts as a shoulder to cry on

Takes your wisdom to heart

Likes it when you sing

It takes till the Crusaders defeat D'Arby the older and he recognized you

He would never force you to sing

When you use your Stand and hamon, he is impressed by your skills.

When you use a song to explain what happened to you, he wants to murder Dio even more and he ask let's you know he's there for you

When he is told you're immortal, he smiles a little..

Tries to make sure you heal from your bad memories and that you have many good memories of him

Writes down things he wants to share with you so you have something to remember him from

Gives you a piece of jewelry or other small trinket to remember him by

Joseph

Oh shit...

Granny mentioned you, by he never met you until now

He thought you would be dead, or a super old lady

Ask you to tell him stories about Johnathan and Speedwagon

Is impressed you've kept up with your hamon

Thinks your Stand is cool

Starts jokingly calling you "aunt Y/N"

Is upset you've had to face Dio before

Asks you for tips on how to beat him

Likes hearing you sing, even if he can't understand the words

When you use song to explain what happened to you... he feels mad

Shares stories with you and likes it when you write them down

Promises to introduce you to Holly and Suzi after all of this is over

He feels conflicted on your immortality, but he learns to cope

Takes a lot of pictures and wants to bring you to Japan and America

Jotaro

He thinks you're brain has been traumatized and fired from the desert heat

Calls you old

Acts like he doesn't like you're singing

Rolls his eyes at your wisdoms, but he sometimes takes it to heart

Once he learns what happened to you.... he goes silent

Now, he promises to help you get revenge

Whenever you sing, he can figure out some words that are similar in Chinese and Japanese

Your singing helps him cope with what the hell is happening

Helps you cope with being around Polnareff and Kakyoin

Finds your Stand and control method kind of cool... sometimes

Other times he finds it a bit of a hindrance as it kind of gives your location away

Has to have you explain what hamon is and how it works

Finds your power, a bit strange

Is wondering how the hell you're immortal

He gives you one of his old hats because, "it's ratty and I don't want it anymore"

Overall, a little confused by your existence

Kakyoin

Oh boy...

He remembers you, and he knows you're freaked out when seeing him

Knew about you singing, because Dio would force you to sing for all his minions and himself

Keeps his distance from you, just so you dont kill him

Eventually, he takes the first step

Moves slowly when trying to befriend you

When he learns full about what happened to you... if he didn't want to murder Dio before, he wants to now

Tries his best to not make you feel awkward

Smiles seeing you singing because you want to

Will fully listen to your wisdom and advice

Thinks your Stand is awesome

Will paint and draw and give the pictures to you so you can remember him

Takes your immortality the easiest

Polnareff

Holy fuck....

He definitely remembers you and what he did to you

Keeps his distance because he's scared you'll kill him in his sleep

Tries to take the first step, but he's nervous

Eventually, you two bridge that gap

Now, Polnareff is happy to see you sing on your own time

Remembering the forced singing you did at the mansion, he never asks you to sing if you don't want to

He was the last to learn about your immortality, and he just stares into the middle distance

Then, he just nods and says "ok"

Whenever you sing, he smiles and listens

Might roll his eyes at your wisdom

He tries to act macho when you give him advice, then he listens to it because you're right

Thinks your Stand is badass

Wants to try and pet the dragon scales

Thinks your singing control method is badass

Obey Me! winter scenarios-part 1: Lucifer and Mammon

Context: You were bored, so you decided to go look for them

Its 10pm. You're sitting in your room, staring at the beautiful snow outside... finally, there hasn't been snow for a long time. Minutes pass by and the layers of snow grow thicker as the beautiful icy flakes flutter from the clouds to the floor, enchanting you, making you not able to look away from the simple beauty of winter. However, slowly you break away from this trance, and grow bored of watching the snow. You decide to go find one of the brothers.

(Read more?)

Lucifer

You walk out of your room and into the corridor. You pass by the twin's room, because Belphie is a little ill and asleep, and Beel is outside at the gym. You skip Asmo's room, he's in the middle of his skincare routine, and you tiptoe past Satan, who's in the library because he's too engrossed in the book he's reading, and you pass Levi's room because you can hear him screeching at Mammon for something. You decide to go to find Lucifer, who you were thinking of going to from the beginning anyway.

"Hey..." You knock on the door gently and wait for Lucifer to reply.

"...Hmm? MC, ...is there something you need...?" You hear Lucifer speak, with a slight hint tiredness in his voice

"Oh... um, you seem tired... I'll come back later..." You turn around, about to leave, before you hear the sound of light footsteps and then the sound of a lock clicking. Then a door opening slowly

"No... Now, tell me what you came here for" You turn around, the sound of Lucifer's voice slightly surprising you. He's standing in the doorway, leaning ever-so-slightly on the frame. He has a blank look on his face, and a curious look in his eye. You turn around and face him, and open your mouth to speak, but find that your voice is stuck in your throat.

"Has the cat got your tongue? What were you going to say?" Lucifer still has a blank look on his face, but the curiosity in his voice is subtle, but you can hear its there. You open your mouth once more to speak, successfully doing so "I was wondering if... we could go outside in the snow together"

You can see a slight look of surprise on Lucifer's face, but he quickly resumes his usual expression "You could not have chosen one of my brothers to go out with you? I'm sure they would be more than happy to go with you than I am" Even if Lucifer doesn't deny or accept your request, you can sense his reluctance. You hear a light sigh, before Lucifer speaks up again "I suppose I can entertain you for a while..." You see a small smile on Lucifers face.

"I guess I should get my coat then" You say, excitement laced in your voice "Yes, you should, I'll meet you outside the front door"Lucifer replies to you, you turn away and returnto your room, putting on a coat and then walking to the front door, where Lucifer is waiting for you. You look a bit surprised as you see Lucifer, who isnt wearing a coat, he's just in his usual outfit.

"Lucifer," You say in a worried tone "where is your coat?"Lucifer looks at you, unfazed by your worries "...I do not need one"You sigh.

"Lucifer, as absurd as it may seem, that's so irresponsible of you!" Lucifer looks at you with slight embarrassment, before turning and starting to walk away while saying something.

"Let's go, you wanted to go outside together in the snow, so let me take you somewhere" Lucifer continues to walk away, and you follow after him. You continue to walk together for some time in silence until you both stop in front of a small lake surrounded by beautiful trees with blue leaves

"Where are we...? I haven't been here before" You ask Lucifer, he turns around to face you, "You don't need to know that, my dear... all you need to know is that this is where we are now" You feel yourself flutter inside at his words, and the two of you walk to a bench and sit there, the hours pass by, and it is now midnight. You were chatting with Lucifer, when you noticed that he was shivering slightly and the end of his nose was slightly red. You take off your coat and place it over his shoulders

"...What are you doing?" Lucifer looks at you with slight embarrassment. His face was already red from the bitterness of the cold, but now it was laced with a light blush.

"You're cold... we should go home now." You press your lips onto his gently, before pulling back and standing up. Lucifer as clearly embarrassed, and looked away, then he stood up and looked back at you, with full composure. "That was the perfect segue for you, wasn't it?"

"Hehe" You giggle, "C'mon, let's go. Well, what are you waiting for?" You grab his hand and run off, dragging him with you.

Mammon

You grab your D.D.D and scroll through your contacts... who are you gonna text...? Mammon. You text him, asking if he wants to go out in the snow with you. He doesn't reply, but you do feel yourself getting dragged outside, a coat on your head, covering your face.

"I just knew ya were gonna text me!" You hear Mammon say. "The great Mammon will always be here when ya want him!" He keeps on dragging you for a long time, until the two of you are outside a nice little cafe. You put on your coat properly and look at Mammon.

"What are we doing here?" You ask mammon, a look of curiosity on your face, you asked if you could go out in the snow together, not go to a cafe and sit watching the snow. Mammon thinks about his wording, and then replies to your question.

"I thought we could get us a hot drink while we're out so we don' freeze up and join the frozen flies or whatever. Well, you'll be buyin' us the drinks cuz don' have my wallet and you do coz ya always are prepared for times like this- wait no you don' have ya wallet because I dragged ya out here with just ya coat!" You nod at him with a deadpanned expression, and walk into the cafe and order a drink. Mammon walks in after you and makes the drink an extra large and pays. You were curious why he made it extra large. So you ask him why, "Mammon, why did you make the drink extra large?" Mammon takes the drink that you ordered and takes your hand and walk out the cafe "B'cuz it's cheaper if we share than if we buy two drinks, plus it's romantic." You see him look away and blush, and you giggle a little. "Of course..." The two of you continue walking until you're outside the city and in the countryside, admiring the snow and jumping on slabs of ice

Mammon turns to look at you, the snoe landing on his hwad, making him look frosty. "Uhh. We may have walked a biiiiiit too far, but it's okay cuz I know where we are... I think. Either way, if we're lost Lucifer will come to our rescue because he loves ya- and me."

The snow falls around the two of you, and Mammon throws a snowball at you. "Let's play a game, if I win, ya kiss me, if you win, you get to decide what ya want, first one down loses" Mammon throws a snowball at you and runs tlo hide behind a tree stump, "Hehe, mammon. Don't expect to win against the expert of snowballs!" You throw two snowballs at him and run before he hits you back. The two of you continue your snowball fight and run around, giggling and laughing. Drinks discarded on the floor, hands gone pink from the snow, faces bitten red by the bitter cold.

You throw another snowball at him and he stumbles back, but he doesn't fall "Hehe, I'm not losing this one, MC!" He gets back up and throws as snowball directly at your head. You fall backwards, and by instinct, he runs to you an catches you just at the right time. One of his hands is on your back, and the other is on your waist. He pulls you back upright and looks at you. "Are ya okay? I'm sorry- HEY!" You giggle and throw a snowball at him, running away as he chases you. "Dammit MC!!!" He runs right behind you, about to throw a snowball, but then he stumbles over his laces and trips, landing face-flat into the soft snow. You walk to him and crouch down to his level "oof, the snow's cold as fu-" You tilt his head up by the chin and kiss him before pulling away. Mammon looks at you, surprised "h-HUH!? Why'd ya- But I lost?" You look at him and giggle "And I won, and my prize is to kiss you!" Mammons face is covered in blush and his mouth is hanging slightly open. "O-oh" He replies.

You stand up and hold out your hand. "That was fun, but it's time to go home, I doubt that being in wet and cold clothes from the snow is comfortable" Mammon takes your hand stands up. He then looks at you, still red like a white-haired tomato. "Ya right, it is uncomfortable. Let's go home!" He takes your hand and strides away, dragging you behind him. ...your trip home had a few detours... time to get more grimm.

—————————

Okay, but I started writing at 7pm, it's currently 9:30 pm. That took me long af. Btw I'm sorry if Mammons had less details than Lucifer, I was focusing more on the fun and his personality than the romance and looks. Btw, if you're either confused or curious about why I used italics its because I'm used to reading italics as the paragraphs and normal text as the chat bc I've been on Character AI recently.

Btw thanks to my friends for the inspiration and motivation to keep writing

Thasmin Watching P.3 (DW Magazine stuff)

I’m posting the last part of the “Thasmin Watching” from the DWM (flux and specials)

“The Doctor has been doing her best to make sure the couple have ���a good time together” since Ryan and Graham left, and has deliberately taken her two “amazing places” for the “experience of a lifetime.”

“Yaz has “WWTDD” written on her hand. It stands for “What Would The Doctor Do?” The Doctor promises Yaz she’ll always find her.”

“When they returnto the temple, Yaz tries to reassure the Doctor but realises the Doctor’s problems are too big for her to solve. “It’s not OK, not for me! You don’t understand anything”!”

“Yaz and the Doctor are soon separated, but at the end it’s Yaz whose reaction we focus on when the Doctor is transformed into a weeping angel.”

“The Doctor’s holographic message for Yaz, and Yaz’s reaction to it, speack volumes. Plus, it’s made quite clear by Dan and Yaz’s heart-to-heart immediatly after she watches the recording, that Dan knows exactly what’s going on - even if Yaz hasn’t admitted it to herself just yet.”

“Yaz is reunited with the Doctor and they tell each other they missed one another. The Doctor admits that she was wrong to shut Yaz out: “I want to tell you everythong...” And there’s a long pause as they gaze at each other, the Doctor on the brink of tears.”

“For the second new year’s eve in a row, Yasmin Khan finds herself talking to an older man who has noticed her infatuation with the Doctor. The difference is, unlike Captain Jack Hakness, Dan Lewis understand that the Doctor has noticed it too.”

“This is the episode in wich thing between Yaz and the Doctor really come to a head - culminating in the beautiful beach at the very end. A highlight of the episode and, indeed, the entire era. Their underwater ‘date’ is also beautifully played.”

“Refusong to stay behind in the TARDIS, Yaz confronts the Doctor, forcing her to explain. In return, the Doctor gives her a hologram implant to keep her safe. She tells the Master that the Doctor is loved and teaches people to never give up. She saves the Doctor’s live... and the Doctor spends her last minutes with Uasmin, eating ice cream on the TARDIS roof. “Oh, I have Loved being with you, Yaz”.”

Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Catholic Observance)

Lectionary  358/573

First Reading:      2 Tm 4:1-8

Responsorial Psalm:  Ps 71:8-9, 14-15ab, 16-17, 22

Verse Before the Gospel:  See Lk 2:19 

Gospel:  Lk 2:41-51

**Meditation

"Every year the feast of Passover." These words help us to better define the spiritual context in which the passage takes place and thus become, for us, the gateway to enter the mystery of his encounter with the Lord and His work of grace and mercy on us.Together with Mary and Joseph, with Jesus, we too can live the gift of a new Passover, a "crossing" an excess, a spiritual movement that takes us "beyond". The passage is clear and strong, according to intuit what the Virgin Mary in this experience with his Son Jesus. Is the step from the street to the heart of the dispersion to interiority, from anguish to peace.All that remains is to make our journey that we go down the street and join the feast, the feastof pilgrims on their way up to Jerusalem for the celebration of Passover.

"Their way" This is only the first of a series of verbs of motion, which follow one another along the verses of this passage. Maybe it can help record an 'attention, "they went", "returnto the path", "group" (from the Latin cum-ire, "walking together"); "journey"; "back"; "went down with them "" arrive.”In parallel with this great physical movement, there is also a deep spiritual movementcharacterized by the verb "look", expressed also over, "they began to look for" "returned in search of him," "looking for you anxiously";" why you sought me?"This tells us that the journey, the true path that the Lord's word calls us, not a physical journey, but spiritual search is a journey of Jesus, of His Presence in our lives. And 'this is thedirection in which we move, together with Mary and Joseph.

"They began to look for him" here we can identify the core of the text, its fundamental message, it is important that we open ourselves to a deeper understanding of this reality. Alsobecause Luke uses two different verbs to express the "search", the first to anazitéo vv. 44 and 45, indicating an accurate, repeated, careful, as some of those who browse, from bottom to top and second to zite vv. 48 and 49, which indicates the search for something that is lost and you want to find. Jesus is the object of all this movement and deep inner being, is the objectof desire, the longing of the heart ...

"Distressed" It 'great to see how Mary opens her heart to Jesus, telling him everything shesaw, what she felt within herself. She is not afraid to tell the truth to his Son, to tell him the feelings and experiences that they felt in deep. But what is this anguish, this pain that you saw in Mary and Joseph in search of Jesus, who went missing?

"Kept all these sayings in her heart" Maria does not understand the words of Jesus, the mystery of his life and his mission and for this silent, accepts, makes space, keep in the heart. This is the true path of growth in faith and relationship with the Lord.Once again, Luke gives us a very beautiful and meaningful word, a compound of the verb "keep" - dia - Tiree, which means literally "keeping through". That is the spiritual operation that Mary carry within herself and that give us as a precious gift, a legacy for our good relationship with the Lord, so that it can take us into a journey deep, deep, that does not stop at the surface, or half, which is not coming back, but it goes deep down. Mary takes us by the hand and guides us through all our heart, all her feelings, her experiences. And there, in the secrecy of ourselves, in our hearts, we can learn to find the Lord Jesus, that perhaps we had lost.
