for all that bingqiu and moshang are wrapped up in each other's business, I find it funny that shen qingqiu and mobei-jun have NO relationship. cumplane have their whole cosmically entwined nonsense, bingqiu and moshang are just differently flavored cumplane, and sqh and binghe have some kind of dynamic in the "author and his protagonist" sense, but sqq and mbj never once speak to each other. I just skimmed mobei-jun's appearances in the main three volumes and I think the only thing sqq says to him is "a demon?" when he first appears and mobei-jun just fucking ignores him. they exist in the same scene several times, but never interact. they've both got their attachments to binghe and weird obsession with sqh, but they have absolutely no relationship to each other. I think if you put just the two of them in a room together, they would sit there in silence until sqq contemplates whether killing himself would end the awkwardness

that time when onyx got sick :(

Winged Servant drabble from when he was a servant! Sorry, Onyx's pov was not remotely compelling to me so for some reason this is third person from Cardan. Anyway here we go!

content warnings: fever, delirium, crying, begging, the pov is not thinking nice things about whumpee, carewhumper, a joking mention of murder, a seperate very serious mention of murder, it really is lighter than I'm making it sound

masterlist

Onyx let out a sudden sob, sitting straight up in bed. Cardan looked over at him, tilting his head at the angel. “You know, I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to be sleeping.”

He jolted, as if he hadn’t noticed the prince’s presence. “I- no, no, I- I need- fuck, Tom-”

“Yeah, no. You’re sick, which means you’re not even fun to mess with. So lay back down and get better already so that you stop acting so… pathetic.” And annoying. He was always pathetic and annoying, but not always this pathetic and annoying.

There was no reason that Onyx needed to be in the princes’ room, but Ryan had insisted. Said it would be easier to “keep an eye on him” or something. But Ryan had left to check on something, which meant that the angel was Cardan’s problem now. Cardan had tried to object earlier, when Ryan had brought it up the first time. But Ryan had done that thing he was so good at—anytime anyone contradicted him, he twisted it around to make everyone else sound like hypocrites and himself the voice of reason. He’d had the nerve to call Cardan the dramatic one for his objections to a servant napping in Ryan’s bed.

Dramatic.

Cardan.

And after Ryan had been the one to start pampering the angel like this. It was a fever, not a death sentence.

“Tommie?” Onyx asked, beginning to cry. “I- I need- Tom, Tom, I-” He started to stand up unsteadily, and Cardan groaned.

“Ryan is going to hang me if he thinks I woke you up. Go back to sleep.”

“No, no,” he mumbled, somehow managing to stumble all the way to the door. He practically fell onto the support of the doorknob as he tried to open it. “No, please, please-”

“Cardan, what the fuck did you do?” Ryan asked from the doorway. Evidently, he’d returned from checking on something.

“Literally nothing,” Cardan called back. “Your angel is the one bugging me, actually. My bad for not doting on him the way you’ve started doing.”

“I am not doting,” Ryan snapped. And he was probably about to come up with some quick and witty comeback, except that he was interrupted by a sob from Onyx. And there went the quick and witty comeback, ignored in favor of murmuring something gentle in response to the angel, and Cardan rolled his eyes.

Not doting. Yeah, right. Ryan wouldn’t have been so defensive if he actually believed himself. Not only was he doting, he knew he was doing it and just kept going.

Whatever. It didn’t matter to Cardan. It wasn’t like the angel was a threat or anything, unless-

Well. Unless.

No one liked to talk about the upcoming assassination, but ignoring it wouldn’t make it any less inevitable. The Rao brothers would not ever be able to rule side by side. But Onyx couldn’t be part of that.

Could he?

No. No, he couldn’t. He wouldn’t be a good enough diplomat to replace Cardan. Besides, Ryan wouldn’t stoop low enough for an angel spouse.

No. Onyx was harmless. Ryan’s doting was annoying, but also harmless. After all, Cardan had acted the same way about his first pet.

Oh! I almost forgot! Does olderbf!Simon (or Reader) have a sir kink at all? It was briefly mentioned in the "sharing" fic and I was hoping to see it come out again.

I could definitely see it being more of Reader's thing than his, but he secretly eats it up because it makes her feel like she's doing a good job.

omg omg omg i sneak throwaway sentences into my writing and never expect anyone to notice them- i cannot believe you noticed this one 🫶🏼

it 100% could make another appearance, i totally agree that it isn’t simon’s thing initially (i think he’d rather die than ask you to call him anything) but if you told him you wanted to call him that- there’s no fkn way he’s stopping you

simon’s entire being is centred around making you happy and that little glint in your eye when he praises you and you respond with “yessir” just makes his whole life

Many such cases really … not hard to imagine them dealin with that …

i am once again reminding the dash that bunny suit chiyo exists as well as several other variations bc she just!! loves dressing up for her partner!! it doesn't even have to be something intentionally sexy/made for intimate moments ( though you can trust she'll still be wearing lingerie beneath it ); chiyo enjoys dressing up with her partner in mind, so that means putting on a dress they love, maybe their clothes if they like that, wearing stockings and accepting they might get destroyed. she'll tailor outfits according to their preferences if she's trying to rile them up ( and sometimes just in general ), and she'll be so utterly pleased if they notice and appreciate it. call her pretty, point out that she's got your favorite skirt on -- she'll get the cutest lil smile on her face <3

God im foaming out the mouth from thinking about a new fic idea.

The basic jist of it being eggman realizing he might be in love with stone, and then in turn that he might also be gay. But before he can fully process that stone confesses to him, causing him to lash out and push stone away.

After that they both decide to go on dating apps. With Stone's reason being so that he can move on from robotnik, and robotniks reason being so that he can explore his sexual identity withought any strings attached. (Its a blind dating app by the way.) And they match! Causing the two of them to get into a relationship and share their problems and greivences with the other withought even realising it, before they finnally go on a first date and realise: "Oh shit ive been sexting my coworker."

Also reading about robotnik attempting to date would be hilariouse, because i know for a fact hed be so bad at it. Stone would find it endearing though.

Found out the other day that the Chicago Symphony is doing La Damnation de Faust in June 2025. I may have to make a road trip to go see it.

ACTUAL REIJI MOMENT OH MY GOD

I can't even tell what it's supposed to BE. I figure it's probably related to 8 given the ∞ = 8 motif in the first teaser and the fact 8 is also supposed to have a new location and come out early 2024 (per Nakaya, unless there are delays). But if it is 8, this is just such a baffling choice as the reveal trailer for the next entry in the MAIN series after the intrigue set up by the teaser. Well, if nothing else, this trailer sure was... revealing...

There is the apparent Microsoft exclusivity, of course, but I don't quite know what to make of it, since Xbox promotional material for RGG historically never mentions competing platforms like PlayStation anyway even if they're available on all platforms.

The tagline does scream sidegame though right like it sounds like a casual business sim or something.. and Yokoyama mentioned 8 wouldn't have a tagline in Japan on purpose... but this is the English trailer, and there's no JP buzz around the release at all so far that I've seen (granted, the trailer dropped at like, 3 a.m. JST)... EXTREMELY odd. Extremely odd. I guess we'll see pretty soon though!

Ranting and Raving aside, I can't help find the premise of taking the series to America funny. I mean. I was HOWLING at the trailer itself but taking a step back for a second. Because RGGS has always been open to taking the series overseas, but it's always been like, France or somewhere else in Europe; they've explicitly said they wouldn't be taking it to America. And Yet.

Also just doubly funny to me to see Ichi in America looking so confused because earlier, I was thinking about Masato's time in America and your idea of Jo accompanying him, and how I can see Jo being that Completely Lost parent who doesn't speak English and has to rely on their kid's fluency to get around. And pretty much right before the trailer dropped I was talking about how It Would Be Funny if Mine got a scholarship overseas and he went to uni with Masato unwittingly, since they're about the same age... manifested...
