#the color scheme in this is freaking amazing and i just love it all so much man!!!

It feels like getting pulled underwater—the sharp sideways tug, the slight drag of resistance, then falling, falling, till the waves close over his head. But Logan can breathe when he rights himself again, even if the light has a watery filter to it and the voices have a distant echo. // Sometimes Logan gets a glimpse of guys who've been long gone from the teal, clustered at the far end of the bench or sitting in the box across the ice. He heard Jason's voice in the hallway loud and clear, that infectious laugh. And he could have sworn he saw Raffi fucking Torres getting out of a car in the players' lot. Something tells him not to look up the rosters.

Commissioned @impmakesart to make a painting based on the Sharks' Cali Fin hype reel + the flip side by frausorge. Imp was amazing to work with and I could not be more emotional about this piece and so, so pleased with how it turned out!! 🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️ Commission him here. Thank you Imp!

I do have the RGB reader designs that I mainly use so that other fans could (maybe....just maybe...) mold their reader/player into whatever they want but I DO have a design that caters to my fav design tropes...

ALSOALSO- I've got a folder righttt 👉here where I'll compile some more sketches (and the animation with the right sync good gracious me-) so that I dont BOMBARD you with 50plus images.

the last "AGAIN"- THE CHAPTER WAS SO SCRUMPTIOSSSSSSS- KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you I'm so glad you love it!! 🦅💥 (Nonsense emojis are becoming a habit I have to stoppp...)

It's so funny you said that cuz I have a Doc called "kicking my feet blushing giggleinf" that I use to jot down the "fluffy" moments when the inspiration worms hit x0

And take your time with the art gurl!! What you've already done is amazing!! The most important thing is that it's fun and engaging for you,, no pressure 🫶

Those RGB designs are a banger btw they have so much personality!! I forgot to mention I loved the color scheme of your animation. I'm a sucker for some super saturated RGB...

OKAY now I'm gonna gush abt your art >:o] I love your insert she's too spunky!! She looks so done w him LOL. Also your style is delightful and fun!! I love your habit of drawing ppl with tired eyes and no mouth. It speaks to me.

[callsignspark]

Ik this isnt part of the ask game, but would you consider showing us how you outline in Trello?? It looks so freaking effective!

I have been waiting for someone to ask me this question. thank you so so so so much you’re going to regret asking lmao

so as I said before I use Trello - a free cloud based project management tool - to outline and write my fics (and also for my to do list and my Christmas present shopping and vacation planning and literally everything) because, to be 100% honest with you, I have no chill. I have never been relaxed about anything. ever. not a single day in my life. and therefore I marinate on fic ideas in my mind for months (sometimes years!) before I start doing anything with them. this is my process I use for everything I write and we’re using Mar[r]y Me as my example!

the first thing is the idea. I get an idea and I word vomit vibes into the closest thing (notes app, google doc, scribbling into my work notebook, texting a friend) and then I marinate on the idea. I first had the idea for Mar[r]y Me on January 25, 2023. it went through several iterations as I shaped what it was going to be and below is what I sent to Jordan in June 2023 and it’s the basis for the story we’ve all been following. (or mostly, it’s changed quite a bit since then.)

once I’m ready to start writing I create a board in Trello. think of a board like a white board, you then add “cards” which I think of as sticky notes except with a lot more features. also my process is the same no matter if it’s a one shot or a multi chapter fic, it just depends if it gets its own board or it goes into my one shot board. (which is filled with ideas waiting to be written lol) anyway. this is the Mar[r]y Me board!

for a multi chapter fic like this each chapter gets a card in the IN PROGRESS list (they move to the right as things get written/posted). each card follows a template: title, due date (loosely assigned to get an idea of what a posting schedule may look like), a label (always being with need to plan), and a checklist. also the chapter outline - obviously.

before I get into the outline, I use the labels as a nice visual representation of what the status of everything is. as the screenshot below shows, the each writing stage has its own color (and I use the color blind color schemes so I get the fun patterns too!) and it gets changed as we go along. it helps me know at a quick glance where everything is at the moment.

I also love the checklist feature, see below. which basically has all the steps I need to follow once I have a chapter written and ready for final editing. it may seem like overkill but I work long hours and you’d be amazed at how easily my brain forgets things lmao. so this ensures nothing is missed when I’m getting ready to post.

now onto the outline. my outline goes from something super basic, to a few bullet points, to an in depth summary of what’s going to be written. using chapter one as an example of this progression.

1. this is the og outline for the whole story. just a dream and a vibe and one sentence. literally.

2. the expanded outline for chapter one

3. just a small section of the final outline I used to write the chapter. a lot of my final outline ends up being actual sentences that I use in the final draft, I basically write the chapter in bullet points and unfinished sentences.

4. I use the very expanded outline to write the actual chapter. following along bullet point by bullet point. an example from chapter 9 since that’s what I’m writing rn.

5. once everything is written, all the bullet points have been used up or ignored, I transfer it into google docs and read it to myself, editing as I go. once I’m happy with my final rough draft I use grammarly to idiot check things because I’m an engineer not an English major. then I start using the checklist (teaser posting, creating tumblr post, etc.) and then the worst part. I walk around my home office and I read the entire chapter out loud to myself and make final edits as I go. is it excruciating to have to listen to myself speak the flirting I’ve just written out loud? yes. have I made myself cry multiple times? yes. do I find a lot of rough spots and smooth them out? yes. that’s usually done on Thursday nights.

6. from there it’s all final editing and formatting and scheduling the final post. I also have to create the accompanying recipe post for Mar[r]y Me so I do that too. and we post on Fridays! sometimes I share the google doc link with friends so they get an advanced copy of the chapter and sometimes they get to be surprised with everyone else (I’m running behind schedule and don’t have time to share it lmao)

it’s a lot of work for something I’m producing for free but I genuinely love it so much and it helps me keep everything straight. there would be so many lost ideas and abandoned thoughts if I didn’t do it this way. it’s crazy that this the first fic I’ve ever written and that I’ll probably be close to 90k words by the time it’s finished.

if you’ve made it this far thank you for indulging my very intense brain and it’s processes. I love the community we’ve created here on this blog and I’m so excited to keep writing and sharing. and I especially want to give a big thank you to my very good friends Ames, Alexa, and Jordan. Mar[r]y Me would not be the story it is without them and I can’t thank you enough for your love and encouragement during this story.

[kitkatopinions]

Ooh! New ask game!

Ironwood, obviously. And Qrow too.

Alrighty, these are my boys!

Let's do Ironwood first for the new ask game

1: sexuality headcanon

I headcanon Ironwood to be bisexual with a preference for men.

2: otp

Ironqrow for life. They are just so great as a ship, with all the 'mutual pining, not actually unrequited they're just both idiots, bickering divored-couple-energy that still allows for the spark of new love, the matching color scheme they had in their first looks, the way they look at each other, the freaking hug! It's an amazing ship.

3: brotp

Ironwood and Winter. A lot of people ship them and I can see why, but even though I've long headcanoned them to be the same age, in my head they're just very close friends, close to brother and sister, which makes him accidentally want to favor Weiss and Whitley when he knows them. XD

4: notp

Ironwood and Robyn. Blegh.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

James uses the training facility at Atlas Academy sometimes and will indulge students that want to spar with him. He's always careful and takes things easy on them, and always lets them get in hits to build their self-confidence.

6: favorite line from this character

"You have two choices: Defend your kingdom and your school, or save yourselves. ...No one will fault you if you leave."

This line is so very James at his best, aggggh! Because it starts out professional and stern, not exactly harsh but more blunt, and then the students all give each other these worried anxious looks, and he softens so clearly in his tone and tells them no one is gonna think less of them, that it isn't their job or their duty or morally right to endanger themselves, and that if they make the choice to leave they can. These kids are seventeen, this might be one of the only times in the first seven seasons that anybody told these kids it's okay to prioritize their own lives.

7: one way in which I relate to this character

I am also kind of socially awkward! Ironwood with his tie adjusting and struggling in conversations and kind of stiff deliveries of things like 'it's good to see you again'... Me too, buddy, I also have no idea how to talk to people. XD

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

The villain arc, ugh. What a terribly written final arc to have. It's always embarrassing to have to specify that I like Ironwood outside of his stupid badly done rushed villain arc that turned him into a boring two dimensional evil-laughing rando with a giant gun-gun using his two remaining braincells to do pointlessly evil things just to get at teenagers. Like??? Cringe.

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Problematic fave. Even at IW's very best, he still was flawed in some fun ways, he could do the wrong thing, he could do the right thing but do it in a way that makes you go 'huh.' (Gonna be honest, although I love cinnamon rolls, they're not half as interesting as problematic faves.) XD Aaaand at Ironwood's worst, he was a pointlessly evil stuck up bastard trying to kill and torture people for very little reason, and not in a fun way.

Now for Qrow

1: sexuality headcanon

I headcanon Qrow as bisexual as well, and I also headcanon him as having only realized he was bisexual as a grown adult (partially because Qrow is one of my faves and I project onto my faves, and I only realized I was bi when I was a grown adult. XD)

2: otp

Ironqrow again. XD This ship is just so good that it's my number one fave for both characters.

3: brotp

Qrow and Ozpin. This is a ship that I could see myself enjoying, but what I enjoy even more is them as close friends, with Qrow looking to Oz for guidance and as an authority figure and then the roles reverse when Ozpin gets put into a teenage body and suddenly Qrow is the guide in charge.

4: notp

Funnily enough, this one is also Robyn. Qrow and Robyn started being a ship when she caused a fight and then partially due to her actions, the queercoded Clover was brutally murdered, and then Clover and Qrow spent an entire season doing next to nothing but talking to each other despite their relationship mattering less than any other relationship Qrow had that could've gotten developed, and Robyn compared her problems with her active truth-telling semblance to Qrow's "I hurt everyone around me" problems caused by the passive semblance that makes his life harder despite him not doing anything, and then she was like "don't be sad that your actions helped the Salem worshipper brutally murder your friend, he was probably secretly evil and bad and you're better than that despite the fact that I've known you for like a day." Like, their relationship is nothing but angering for me. XD

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

I have this headcanon that Qrow doesn't realize it, but his bad luck semblance tends to react to large emotions he has. He still absolutely can't control it, but when he's calm and casual and cool, his semblance affects him and the world around him a bit less, and when he's really angry or really sad or even really happy his semblance kicks up and sometimes does really big things like cause unexpected rainstorms and make the electricity in buildings go out and stuff like that.

6: favorite line from this character

Raven: "They were your family." Qrow: "You have a very skewed perception of that word." Maybe it's just because this line fits into my headcanons, but I love it because Qrow's past easily lends itself to him having been abused by the people in the Branwen Camp, and then acquired a found family in Team STRQ and Ozpin, and now he has Yang and Ruby and he was involved in picking up the pieces when Raven left and then again when Summer died, which was probably devastating for him. I also just like Qrow's quippy nature and I like that at least someone was calling out Raven on her BS.

7: one way in which I relate to this character

Despite the fact that I've projected onto Qrow, we actually don't have very many similarities. But I'd say that although it's not nearly to the point of Qrow's own issues, I also struggle with feeling like a burden to the people around me and too much of a mess to deal with. I like writing for Qrow partially because it's a good way to explore those feelings.

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

"The size of the waitress's skirt length" Ulgh, gag me with a spoon. The at the time all male writers and one with a particularly bad past regarding misogyny on a show concepted by a guy who likes animating a seventeen year old woman character's boobs to bounce around to a jeering laughing cheering crowd... Yeah, no thanks. I much prefer writing my version of Qrow to flirt a lot but know where the line is and not do things like talk about how hot he finds miniskirts on service workers to his two underage nieces.

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Problematic fave for sure. Even at his best, Qrow is a rough-around-the-ages spy with shady connections blindly following a leader and not seeing much wrong with getting kids involved who also picks fights with people and is drowning in his own emotional problems in ways that have negative effects on the people around him. But Qrow also (especially in the third and in the eighth season) like it or not also suffers from the problems of the writers, whether that's never giving a damn about inequality, objectifying service workers in a funny story to his underage nieces, seeming weak willed and hypocritical due to the writer's misuse or retconnings or making him go along with whatever Ruby says after Argus, or actively aiding a servant of Salem in volume seven and losing all his braincells in the process so the writers can force it to happen. Either way, Qrow is very problematic, in some fun and interesting ways and some not so fun ways.

Dolly Intro: Monster High

This is a long post. I have a lot of monster high dolls, from both G1 and G3 -- 35 at last count. Part 1 is characters for I have multiple dolls. Part 2 is characters for which I have only one doll.

PART 1

Always have to start with ⚡Frankie⚡, my favorite ghoul. I have 7 Frankies. [cut for length]

This wave 1 signature was sent to me by a kind internet friend. Her head's all discolored and gluey, but she's very special to me.

Left to right is Sweet Screams, creeproduction, and Freak du Chic. Sweet Screams Frankie is another amazing thrift find: I got her at Once Upon a Child for $6, mostly complete!

Stitched in Style Frankie, who I've renamed Frankie Atropos, after the Greek Fate who cuts the thread of life.

Reel Drama Frankie, who like all the RD dolls was a pain to get. But she's mine now and will forever live in her glass coffin.

I also of course have G3 Frankie, who I've customized. They have a real eyebrow piercing, a robot arm, black lips, and neck bolts.

🧠Ghoulia🧠 . I have 4 of her. 2 are from my dolly friend B. who found them at the thrift store, which amazes me as I never see G1 Monster High out in the wild!

Left to right is Rollermaze , Gloom Beach , and Freaky Fusion.

I think of this one as "retro Ghoulia". I'm not sure which one she is.

🦇Draculaura🦇. I have 4 of her, 2 from G1 and 2 from G3.

Here's Reel Drama Drac, in her coffin. I posed her upside down by putting the waist clip around her boot, and then doing some trickery with angles.

Dead Tired Drac I think is so cute with her straight-out pigtails. She's another one I often display upside down. (With a Lala cameo)

I have both Signature and Core Refresh Draculaura from G3. I go back and forth on whether they're sisters or just different versions of the same ghoul. I customized them both with snakebite piercings. They're my chronic illness buddies, who always needs plenty of snacks, ability aids, and cozy clothes.

🐟Lagoona🐟 , of whom I have 5: 4 from G1 and 1 from G3. I much prefer G1's color scheme; while I don't mind pink, I don't like the pink they chose for G3 Lagoona. However, I love G3's concepts and makeup.

creeproduction and reel drama lagoona. I like displaying the creepros + RD together in the coffins :) If only I had creepro Drac :'( I actually had her at one point but wasn't connecting and resold her to a dolly friend. I regret that decision now!

Rollermaze Lagoona -- I love rollerskating dolls and this Lagoona is no exception. (And a bonus rollermaze Ghoulia cameo)

I diy'ed a bacta tank for Dead Tired Lagoona. It'll get a whole post of its own eventually.

My customized G3 Monster Ball Lagoona. I love love love her makeup, but not the pink skin. I attempted to give her silver scales, to look more like a salmon. The silver looks better irl than on camera, but I'm still not totally pleased with it.

🐊Honey🐊 , I have 2.

Freak du Chic Honey came to me missing her left arm. Eventually I'll get a replacement. I love her wiggly marionette joints and balloon animal boots.

Frights, Camera, Action Honey is one of my favorite dolls -- all of the vine sculpting on her body is unique and beautiful. She's the no.1 ghoul I'd like to see translated into G3.

☣️Gooliope☣️, I have 2.

Freak du Chic ringmaster Gooliope. She presides over the circus that's perpetually displayed on top of one of my bookshelves.

This Goo is my play one. She's another doll that's challenging to style, due to her unique proportions. But I'm always up for a doll restyling challenge!

PART 2

Rochelle, as part of the Freak du Chic. [somehow I have no pictures of her? I'll put one in eventually.]

Twyla, another member of the Freak du Chic. (More on this fungus restyle in an upcoming Funguary post.)

Kala, Hydra, and Sirena -- when you're a sea monster, girls' night happens in the tub. I'm blown away by the details on all three of these dolls -- especially the little suckers molded on Kala's hands.

Both Kjersti and Rollermaze Abbey are thrift find sent to me by B.! Doesn't she have amazing thrifting powers??

ignore the text, I just don't have many pictures of her.

Skelita was a gift from my SIL.

Robecca I got in a big lot, with her hair already cut. She's another one where the body sculpt is unique and lovely.

And last but certainly not least, Wednesday (and Thing).

[raviposting]

HIIII JANIE <3 congrats on 8k thats AMAZING and you deserve every single one <3 for ur celebration may i ask for ✨? my creations are tagged /tagged/mystuff <3 congrats once again!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU KAI!!!!

Your edits are gorgeous and this is a tangent but I just have to say in general it's just so fun seeing your edits in the wild?? Because I'll see something and I'll know it's you because it's this really lovely blended set with a purple tone and a sharpness in the edit (like not too sharp but it's very distinct!!) and I'm like :D I know them asdjfkl. idk I just love seeing your sets <3

The first set of yours that popped into my head was this MIW edit you made? I don't listen to them but your sets for them are beautiful and this gifset in particular I remember reblogging to my gif inspo blog. I loved the layout and the coloring was just mwahhh

This JJK set!! I hate editing anime lmao it's so hard to me and you do it?? So freaking well. It's blended so well and I love the color scheme. Or this JJK set because WOW I'm obsessed with it.

I LOVE the color scheme on this Damien set. The layout was so good and I still want to use a TV motif the way you did in a gifset one day!!!

THIS LUCAS SET!!!! My boy deserves all the love in the world and I LOVED this red.

I think this set is a great example of how you manage to bring out the natural color of a scene in your gifsets if that makes sense? Like I know the blue is there but this makes it all the more apparent in this set and I think that's so nifty!!!

[birder-of-remnant]

Their takeaways aligned with my thoughts as well. Like Anthurak, I have generally seen Ruby being Oscar's role model more than as a romantic option (especially with how Lindsay talks about Ruby's character and how her character is meant to connect with everyone, not just one person as would happen in a romance). Although I am not 100% convinced, there are some convincing parallels between their allusions. And their complimentary color schemes fit within the dynamic that we have seen from other official ships. But I will not go into that here, you can see rwbyrg for more in-depth arguments. But RG speculation aside, the scene showed Oscar while he was at his lowest. He wants to be a leader who can inspire hope in everyone, like Ruby, but he cannot seem to find the light as symbolized by the sunset.

Likewise, it is painful seeing how far Winter has fallen into depression. She has long been Weiss's role model. Like with Oscar's foil, their roles have now reversed. On the subject of Penny, I am less certain. It costs CRWBY $25,000 to $35,000 per minute of animation. They do not have the funds to develop every character, hence why they have to prioritize which characters get development each season. Penny is my favorite character and it broke my heart when she died both times. It was so unfair for her to die right after she got her wish to become organic. But, her story was tied to Atlas. If they were to bring her back again, it would mean they would have to shift development away from someone else (for example, Team CFVE). And right now, there are a LOT of amazing and wonderful characters in Vacou that deserve attention. I don't know, this conflicts me deeply.

---

And let's not forget about that whole thing about Vale being freaking destroyed. I absolutely adore the idea of how RWBY saved all the people of Atlas-Mantle using the portal system, as an idea at least. But in reality, that one small exit into Vacuo would have been like trying to empty an Olympic-sized swimming pool's worth of people using a shower drain. And seeing that single lonely airship coming from Vale and Oobleck's face, it seems that they experienced their Mt Glenn all over again, but this time, on a national level. I always feared that if all the nations rallied behind Vacuo, that Salem would attack Vale or Mistral instead, simply to make them think twice about getting in her way. But I never could have imagined that it would have happened before the ending of v9. Where is Tai? Zweii? SHOPKEEP??? It may sound weird that out of all of the heavy and heartbreaking scenes from the animatic, that this was the part that hit me the hardest.

---

An almost as hard-hitting was the realization that THE CROWN was going to be in this! I have long wondered how much v10 was going to reference the books. I figured that since 99% of people have not read those hidden gems, they would probably make a few casual references. But that they would avoid making too much reference to them to avoid confusing people. Don't get me wrong, I was sure that Gillian was going to be royally pissed about the situation, but that she would have been powerless by this point to do anything about it. I am so excited for this plotline! Please, let us have it! AND, THIS MEANS MORE CFVE!!!!!

If you have not read or listened to the books, get to it!

---

I would love to continue gushing about Ren, Nora, Qrow, and the rest, but I have rambled on too long. I am so happy that we got this extended version. It pains me that they did not have the budget to make these into a real episode. But at the end of the day, as amazing as their animation is, the heart of this series has always been in the characters and in their stories. And that is what we got from this! In the end, no matter what happens to this series, I will never stop loving it.

Takeaways from the Volume 9 Epilogue:

--

One thing I really like about Oscar’s ‘If there was anything I wish I could borrow from you…’ monologue is that it laid out/confirmed something I’ve always felt was a major aspect of Oscar’s dynamic with Ruby that I nonetheless feel a lot of the fandom has missed: That Oscar very much sees Ruby as a mentor and an example to follow, and how their dynamic is specifically a foil to what we saw between Ruby and Ozpin. That Ruby acts as a mentor and example to Oscar in the same way Ozpin was to Ruby, and that Ruby is a far BETTER mentor and example to Oscar than Ozpin ever was to her. Which, as an aside, is a dynamic I can’t help but feel a lot of people have been misinterpreting as ‘ship-teasing’ and is one of the main reasons I’ve simply never been able to see Oscar as any kind of viable love-interest to Ruby. Frankly the dynamic of ‘Ruby is the mentor and example to Oscar that Ozpin couldn’t be for her’ is simply so much more INTERESTING than any kind of romance could ever hope to be.

Even in animatic form, Winter basically going overdrive on the maiden powers was a sight to behold. And her own monologue had all the self-deprecation we were expecting. Our girl is clearly holding on by a thread and it’s going to be REAL interesting seeing how she reacts and adjusts to her sister not actually being dead. As in, I can imagine a situation where Winter tries to throw herself into a heroic sacrifice with the belief that Weiss would make a better Maiden than her.

Also, Winter’s monologue giving major focus to how Penny is super-super-dead-dead-and-definitely-not-coming-back-for-really-realsies, as she is talking to the sister who she ALSO believes is DEFINITELY also dead? Specifically with the words that Penny is gone, when Penny’s last words to her were that she’d be ‘part of you’?

Yeah, there is no way in hell we’ve seen the last of Penny XD

The CROWN. Like it was only a few shots, but as someone who read the CFVY Books (which you totally should if you haven’t, they’re great), holy shit I was NOT expecting them to pop up here.

I mean, in hindsight it makes perfect sense that they’d be involved in Volume 10. They’re basically Vacuo’s equivalent to Vale’s criminal element and the White Fang splinter faction as Salem’s co-opted insurgency group, with Jax and Gillian joining Roman, Adam and Jacques as the latest of Salem’s unwitting patsies. It’s definitely going to be real interesting seeing the crew deal with them. Like it’s really fun to imagine Team RWBY in particular being kind of exasperated at seeing Jax’s probably doing a whole ‘With Salem’s help I shall be King!’ shtick after everything they’ve seen with Roman, Adam and Jacques.

Oh and if you don’t know, Jax has a mind-control semblance, so him trying to use that on Yang could actually lead to a sneaky callback to the Justice League crossover, ie; Yang doing a ‘Yeah, I’m not doing THAT shit again.’ XD

--

Qrow’s whole vibe through this is fascinating. Like his section may have been the one we already saw, but after seeing the abject depression and growing despair of all the other characters, Qrow actually being OPTIMISTIC hit so much harder.

--

Raven showing up at the end is… interesting.

I’ll admit that ever since we saw that specific clip a few months back, I’ve been rather conflicts about Raven showing up to deliver RWBY+J to Vacuo, particularly after Ruby’s tree vision. Like for one it felt a bit random and unnecessary. The tree already deposited the Ever After team outside of Vacuo so they didn’t exactly need help getting there. Not to mention that it kind of clotheslines the story-thread set up by Ruby’s vision; that she now has a reason to track Raven down to get the ANSWERS to what happened to Summer. Finally, it’s just kind of… random? Like where did Raven even come from to get the team?

But now having seen the clip with its intended context, I’m definitely more on board with it. Particularly hearing from Kerry and Eddy that the original ending for the penultimate episode had RWBY+J going through the portal to arrive at their memorial stone, and met by a ‘Mysterious Figure’, ie; Raven. Here it feels like were getting more set up to get answers later as to what Raven was doing at the memorial.

And really, now that I’ve thought about it more, this method kind of puts the thread of Ruby going to Raven for answers even MORE into focus. Like the story reintroduces Raven in the present right after Ruby got a vision basically saying ‘hey, Raven is important’. And now going into Volume 10, we’re pretty much perfectly positioned for Ruby to pull Raven aside for those all-important ‘Why were you fucking my mom? What happened to my mom?’ questions.

--

Finally… yeah that ending hit me a LOT harder than I was expecting. Like that ending was HOPE in its purest form and it was honestly beautiful to see. Particularly right now with the future of the show seeming so uncertain. I’ve personally been optimistic about RWBY’s future (in a manner not unlike Qrow’s vibes I suppose lol), but damn the hopefulness of that ending hit especially hard, and was something I’ll admit I needed. And I imagine the rest of us could use as well.

We'll be getting Volume 10. And 11, and 12, and however many more it takes to finish this story. At this point, I have no doubt of that.

[mh-midnight-wanderer]

Wow people really like my previous post Thank you so much for likes <3

Just like a promise I made my version Monster High characters Gaia Online edition part 2

1. Abbey Bominable

I have two things in mind that I want for Abbey's design.

Snow and Fluff

I found Abominable Cutie items for fur, arms, face and little horns. her hair and clothing colors its mostly white with pink and baby blue details.

I have this headcannon that yetis uses white clothes as camouflauge. Once that Abbey enrolls at Monster High she starts adding more colours in her outfits

I added snowflake hair pin. A snow googles who act as glasses and fanny pack (tribute to MH Live Action)

2. Spectra Vondergeist

For Spectra I thought added indigo and blue in her color scheme instead just purple and black

I found this cute black veil with purple skulls, blue dress, and indigo sandals give impression of floating, black and blue bag and lock hairpin

I keep her iconic chains, her hair and gossiping nature

3. Operetta

For Operetta. I decided keep her original hairstyle buts its black and red ombre hair

While searching scars or deformity items for idea. I came across @cherryfemm post about Operetta's shouldn't wear a mask. And she is right because that whole MH premise its embrace their freak flaws. And I thought why not keep half mask and covers her perfect face. So keeps her dad iconic mask and delivers the message: you shouldn't be shame about your scars and/or deformity

What I love about Operetta is she doesn't care about her deformity. She's not insecure or shame about her appearance.

Also I give her semi-translucent skin so that keep her status as phantom

Her outfit is simple top white and black shirt, red shorts with suspenders, black and white shoes, golden spider earrings and of course her guitar

4  Toralei Stripe

Its combination of G1 and G3 Toralei. A torned black jacket with kitty face printed shirt, pink black and white stripes pants, black and pink boots heeled, and guitar

Headcanon: There's rumor that Toralei's guitar strings are made of her werecats enemies back her criminal days. In reality catguts are not made from cat intestines.

5. Robecca Steam

As for Robecca I didn't do drastic changes to G1 Robecca. I just made her hair little shorter, give her gloves, brown and gold belt and blue and golden boots.

Also I found skin mod to give her shiny robotic skin

6. Venus McFlytrap

As for Venus. I give her blue and pink hair instead green and pink. Pink and black shirt and shorts. a missing pink stocking, mismatched sneakers and black gloves useful for picking up garbage

Still rockin and saving the earth

Oh added green vines and leafy thing in her head

7. Rochelle Goyle

As for Rochelle. I decided more softer pink and lilac color palette. I give her granite skin tone and I found this dress that fits Rochelle's aesthetic.

Its quite expensive but good thing I been saving alot all these years of playing Gaia Online

Added jewelry for her head, black stockings and boots. Lastly this amazing horns and wings the tail was included and I have no idea how to remove tail

That’s pretty much it. Do you think I should made part 3 with rest characters?

Perhaps

[clanwarrior-tumbly]

Can I make a headcannon request for Licorice Cookie with a super supportive s/o? Basically, s/o finds all the stuff he sewed, including the Werehound Brute’s princess dress, and Licorice is just dying of embarrassment but then s/o is just like “EXCUSE ME, this is not a dress, this is ART.” and starts gushing about how good his work is, and what else can he make, and he should make more stuff, and… babe, are you crying?

As Halloween approaches, you were wondering what Licorice could be up to, considering all the time he spends sewing stuff.

So one night you visit his workshop and don't find him there, which is strange but you figured he was making "evil plans" elsewhere. While the sign on the door clearly says only he and his servants can enter, you thought he wouldn't mind if you took a peek.

And you found so many amazing clothes, in black, purple, white, and gray color schemes. You were astonished at how talented your boyfriend was.

The most impressive thing, however, was a large puffy princess dress on a mannequin made of sugar cubes. It seemed to resemble Brute, but you were focused more on the dress and all its details, being so mesmerized you didn't notice the door creaking open.

"Huh? Who left this door open?!"

You hear Licorice and when you see him enter, he immediately freaks out. Full panic mode.

"Wh-What are you doing here, s/o?!!!"

"I thought you were working on a Halloween outfit...did you make this all by yourself?" You brush your hand across the dress' sleeve.

At this point, he's redder than strawberry jam as he tries making some excuse, insisting that it's just a "silly dress" and he only made it for a stupid contest he knew he had no chance of winning so it was about as useless as-

But you interrupt him.

"Excuse me? This isn't a dress...this is ART." You insist, with such vigor and encouragement that could rival Madeleine's.

And you go onto compliment all the other clothes you found in his workshop, even his unfinished projects that were just collecting dust. You even proposed several ideas on what else he could make.

But then, you stop when you hear a sniffle and look back to see him....crying?

"D-Do you really mean all of that?" He's sobbing lightly, trying to hide the tears with his sleeves--yet it fails.

Your words have melted the sinister cookie's heart. He loved praise, sure. But to get such genuine compliments about his sewing talent from the person he loves...was something entirely different.

All too often he felt like he had to act as this scary and powerful man...just to get even a sliver of attention from Dark Enchantress. Yet he fails constantly in his plans and just doesn't feel like he's good enough for anyone at all, even you sometimes.

You just smile sweetly and hug him, letting him cry into your shoulder. "I mean every word, my evil darling. You may not have won the crown, but you've won at amazing me."

You can bet he's gonna hang onto those words for the rest of his life.

Once Licorice calms down and apologizes for crying (to which you reassure him it's okay) he takes you to his desk to show you his latest Halloween project. Another robe like his own, but white and with bones imprinted on it.

"I just gotta sew the hood on. But afterwards would you care to um...ah....howdoIsaythiswithoutlookinglikeatotalweirdo-?"

"You need a model? I gotchu."

"!!!!!!"

He blushes again but sighs, trying not to die of embarrassment again.

He already did once today.

xreader Modern AU/Streamer AU HCs!!

(what the rooms that they stream in look like ehehe gonna post on my blog later)

(was also feeling extra so i animated all of it)

Xiao

his room is very dark. It's lit up by colored LEDs, stuff like that. He also probably has a light-up green glowy lightning bolt taped to his wall. also has like his yaksha mask with glowy accents from like fanmail and stuff. also related to the event request i sent, his door is probably somewhere behind him, otherwise, how would they see the reader entering his room? also only his viewers know this, but behind him, he has a shelf with various items on it. most of the shelf. has plants. it clashes with his personality, but matches with his color scheme. he used to just not sleep (poor baby drank too much monster hehe) but his S/O helps him with it <3 also has all his g-fuel on the shelf. (secretly has one of those froggo hats) tired and cranky 24/7 but still has amazing aim even if he's tired???? trying to fix his bad posture. childe called zhongli a boomer once. xiao just- snapped. who dares to insult his dear brother like that? let's just say... childe didnt last long in the next few rounds... (totally not long because im biased)

Ganyu

has a very aesthetic cozy room. When Xiao, Ganyu, and Zhongli moved in, （she was 12 and xiao was 10 , zhongli was 20 at the time, Ganyu is currently 21 , Xiao is currently 19, Zhongli is currently 29） she took her time, hanging her fairy lights, carefully placing all her comfort plushies on the shelf. She recently placed polaroids of her and her S/O in a heart shape, of course with her S/O's assistance. Helped Zhongli and Xiao decorate their rooms. (Xiao used to have those giant wall stickers yk? yeah he used to have one of spiderman, dont tell anybody) Has a neatly stacked pile of work papers. Just very aesthetic in general. def makes you hot cocoa on bad days. did a stream where her viewers spent her earnings on valentines gifts for you (awwwwww) zhongli was slightly confused when there were like 12 packages at their apartment door.

Zhongli

Very beige and vintage. He just has a lot of shelves. Like a lot lot. He collects teapots, and just interacts with chat while sipping tea. If he's lucky enough to get a donation, he spends it on new tea sets or tea that his chat chooses. But the tea set choosing has rules!! Rule 1 is no NSFW (if nsfw teacups even exist), Rule 2 is no Gore(if that even exists), and rule 3 is has to fit the budget. He also has a wishlist of tea sets he wants to get, and his viewers can donate to help him get the tea sets on his wishlist. Is very grateful for every donation he gets. Has fairy lights and a lot of different types of tea on the shelves. Also has a lot of books on the shelves. idk what else to write other than he collects tea sets and also tea.

(lost motivation and didnt draw it)

[brine-in-my-eyes]

YES YYRS YES UES YES YES YESSSSS YOU FUCKING POSTED THEM AUGHHH IM SO FUCKING HAPPY WHOOOOO HOOOO

augh i fucking love how they compliment eachother so well. how one of their weakness is another's strength. I really really like svenja because she's very much a perfect leader for the toppats, an intellectual with a love for their history and is a natural at leading people. And that she EARNS her title augh she so deserves it for all the studying she's done because she actually loves leading them. Fucking amazing

I LOVR YOU SOOO MUCH KAYLA QUINN augh she's fucking BONKERS i love her sooooo much. she's literally just a feral beast that LOVES bloodshed as much as she loves her BIG BEAUTIFUL GIRLFRIEND !!!!!!!!!

looking at them makes me sooooooo happy so freaking happy i love them forever and they love eachother forever i wish them all the best

THEYRE EVEN THE RED AND BLUE COLOR SCHEMES. HOW MORE PERFECT IS THAT !!!!!!!!

Revamped Svenja and Kayla's designs a bit. (Og post here)

Just some info to get to know the two better:

Svenja's a very stoic person. Usually has the same =| expression on her face. But that doesn't mean she's emotionless, she just has trouble expressing her emotions.

Aside from that though, she's actually a pretty good at socializing. She's a great diplomatic, and an even greater strategist. She's worked very hard to get to the position she'll eventually earn. She's also got an interest in Toppat history and previous leaders.

Kayla is a Lot more wild and violent than her. Usually the main attacker in raids, she's very versatile in combat, whether using a gun, a knife, or her bare fists. She loves the adrenaline rushes it gives her, doing very well in high stakes situations.

She's also pretty awkward though, not really caring to interact with the other Toppats, save for a few and of course, Svenja. She owes a lot to her for letting Kayla become her right hand and is extremely loyal over her.

Thoughts at 2pm...

This is really a thoughts on cartography/GIS post...

W and I have been talking about GIS a lot lately. Mostly she’s been talking, and I’ve been listening lolol. Her head is full of thoughts, of ideas, of critiques, of insight and questions, and I freaking love it. 

One thing that has been a big topic has been “what makes a good map?” We’ve gone back and forth about this, and it seems a simple question but for cartographers like her and I, it’s like opening a can of worms!

We see so many maps that are just ugly as fuck, deficient in information, or just make no sense. They’re bad at all levels of communication, from bad content to bad display.

And ultimately that is what we have decided makes a good map... does it communicate something?

GIS makes it so easy to just “put stickers on a basemap.” You no longer have to draw, you no longer need to have a steady hand and artistic skills to draw the coastlines, the ridges, the mountain ranges, shade the deserts, and add the roads and pathways. Nope, you just load a basemap, throw on some pre-created layers, and add some points and voila... map. 

With a good understanding of cartographic principles and graphic design, you can make such a gorgeous map... but is it really a good map?

Did you do any analysis? Did you do any thinking? Did you put in any effort besides picking a font for the title, and the color scheme? Does it communicate anything? 

With this lens, we’ve been looking more and more at other peoples maps, and more importantly at our own. Did we have to manipulate the data at all to analyze something either statistically, or does the presentation educate and explain something beyond just WHERE something is. Are we communicating something or are we just making static art?

Simply saying something is HERE is fine... saying it with a lot of pretty colors and shading is fine... but why should anyone care beyond “ooh... pretty!”

She’s really risen up to the challenge, especially with Novembers 30 day map challenge. She’s not just doing pretty shading and stickers on basemap projects, but starting with a question and trying to answer it spatially and doing it in a way that is also really beautiful to look at. 

She has done such a great job too! Her topics, ideas, and presentations are amazing and she has grown so much since she got her diploma!

[char-lotteral]

omg so i recently got into naruto too and i love naruhina so much 😭 i read your rant and i so completely agree with you abt sasusaku! also i saw your tags so yes please tell us why you like naruhina so much i would love to read it

Anon!!! AAA ur going to be in for such a treat because i will unapologetically write a longass essay as to why i frikin love nh. Im not even gonna use read more. You'll have to scroll thru the entirety of this and im not sorry abt it :^)

Why do i ship naruhina?

Let's start with Naruto. An orphan who grew up with no actual experience of love and family, was forced to fend for himself and yet he still saw the beauty in everything. A guileless kid who never once gave up even if you forced him too. And here we have Hinata. An abused little girl who was pressured into becoming something she wasn't. Even at a young age, she was already carrying the weight of her clan's expectations, receiving her father's harsh words, draining her of her confidence and self-esteem, turning her into the anxious, broken little girl they made her. She had nothing. He had nothing. They both had nothing. Hinata didn't have a single speck of confidence inside of her until she saw her first ray of sun. Her sun that brought her out of the hole she had been sulking in ever since she was little. He helped her push forward, motivated her and supported her until she become the strong kunoichi that she was. I mean, can we talk about how much he hypes her up?? She sought to him as an inspiration, not a goal. Not an obsession, not possession but a harbinger of light that could pull her out of her shell. She wanted to become someone who was worth standing beside him, someone who she can consider as Naruto's equal. Not a burden, not deadweight, not a rival but a partner, a partner who could support him through all else.

While all Naruto wanted out of life was acknowledgement and love, Hinata already accepted him for what he was. With Hinata, he never tried to play the hero, he never placed on this mask or become the strongest shinobi just to be recognized. He never tried. Because he doesn't have to be. Because whatever he'll do, whatever he does, whatever he did, she'll love him. No matter what. Hinata treats him with so much love, kindness, patience and consideration, something he never once had as a kid. When everyone around him berates for even the sillest and dumbest thing, she'll still smile and look at him with so much love in her eyes because she loves and accepts him for who he is. But that' not to say she's "submissive" towards him. She's kept him in line and has been his confidant ever since.

Naruto is Hinata's sun and Hinata is Naruto's anchor. He's brightened up her life more than once and she's always kept him grounded. She's his rock, his pillar. Like can we talk about how much Hinata comforts him?? Throughout the years, she's ALWAYS been there for him. He's always so levelheaded and calm whenever he's around her. And the juxtaposition of their personalities makes it all the more adorable. They complement each other so perfectly that even their freaking color schemes match!!

AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT THESE SCENES??

EXHIBIT A. NARUTO FEELING WORTHLESS BEFORE THE FIGHT AND HINATA JUMPING IN TO REASSURE HIM OF HOW AMAZING AND STRONG HE STILL IS EVEN IF HE FAILED TIME AND TIME AGAIN

EXHIBIT B. NARUTO BEING ON THE BRINK OF INSANITY BUT HINATA JUMPS IN *AGAIN* AND PULLS HIM OUT OF HIS DARKNESS AND GENTLY CRADLES HIS FACE.

CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW TOUCH STARVE HE MUSTVE BEEN? AND HOW FOREIGN THIS FEELING WAS FOR HIM?? HE WAS AN ORPHAN FFS. HOW MANY TIMES HAS SOMEONE TOUCHED HIM THIS GENTLY?

AND THE WAY HE JUST CUPPED HER HAND AND BROUGHT IT CLOSER TO HIS FACE, BECOMING OPENLY VULNERABLE IN FRONT OF HER IN THE MIDDLE OF BATTLE?? AND HE FELT COMPELLED TO HOLD HER HAND AND REACH FOR IT IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY??

AND EVEN IN THEIR MARITAL YEARS, IS SHE STILL THE REASSURING, SUPPORTIVE TYPE OF WIFE. HE WAS LITERALLY DOUBTING HIS ROLE AS A FATHER AND YET HINATA SWOOPS IN **YET AGAIN** AND REASSURED HIM YET AGAIN THAT HE WAS DOING HIS BEST

AND AND THEYRE LITERALLY THE "DONT YOU DARE TOUCH HER OR I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU" TROPE.

And to finish this off with my Absolute favorite scene :)

And thus ends my longass novel :^) lol im sorry for this really long post (whispers* notreally) but they own my heart and they own me, so there's nothing else to do but slave away for naruhina. Do I think their romance could've been better executed? YES. Do they deserve more screentime? YES. FUCKING YES. Is it Kishi's fault for being horrible at het romance? Yes. Literally yes. He' so good at developing "brotherly bonds" but sucks ass at hetero romance. Not kidding. Ive read a shit ton of fics that tell their story better :^) im so sori but i just hate how kishi didnt give them more screentime :((

BUT DO I CARE? NO!! AND WHY IS THAT? BECAUSE THEYRE CUTE AS FUCK AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL FOR THEM.

I MEAN CMON??? THEYRE SO FUCKING CUTE. LOOK AT THEM! LOOK AT MY KIDS!!

[soldmysoultootomeboys]

Hi! Can I request headcannons for the human brothers accidently summoning an angel mc instead of a demon and the angel mc insisting on sticking around and helping them?

The other brothers: :) Satan: >:)

This has been in the drafts for too long. I really love the absolute mood switch between Lucifers and Mammons. And just Satans in general ig.

Lucifer

After years of religious trauma at the hands of his father Lucifer finally thought he was free of any connection to the church. Summoning a flaming seraphim at 3 in the morning was not a pleasant way to find out that he was wrong.

As for you, being summoned for the first time in your long long life was an unwelcome surprise. You were a seraphim for heaven's sake. The cream of the crop, highest of the high, and that wasn’t pride speaking only facts. You were crucial to running the celestial realm.

But somehow you’re undeniably tied to his human. You could feel where his soul became intermeshed with your very essence. How wrong it felt to be tied to something so mortal, and delicate, and free.

Any attempts to leave would surely be met with disaster.

So you stay. Lucifer is cold. You can’t blame him. Being there reopens old wounds that he’d rather have remained closed. But just ignoring each other isn’t going to work.

He’s not interested in the celestial realm, and despises any blessing you try and give him, but a fresh cup of coffee during an all-nighter seems to make him brighter than any magic you could do and when you run your hands through his hair he looks at you with more fondness than you can comprehend.

You learn to be more human. He learns to let go of the past.

And one day you find that you don’t want to leave anymore.

For celestial sake that thought should as well be treason! But it’s true.

It’s a spring afternoon and Lucifer plays celestial lullabies on his piano and you want nothing more than for the beautiful night to come so you can sweep him in your arms and remind him how he glows.

You don’t know what is right and what is wrong anymore, but you know that this human is yours and you are his. To rip off your wings would be to find solace in his arms. But you can not give him that. This he knows.

So you promise to protect him, in words he can’t hear but he understands. The spread of your wings shield him from the world and you press blessings to his skin in the shape of the crescents in his back and your lips on his neck. If nothing else you’ll keep him safe. When the world seems too big and the stress of his life gets him down you’ll always be here for him to crawl back to. You can give him that much.

Mammon

That was it

You had to have been assigned the stupidest human in the world

When you were promoted to guardian angel you kinda thought it would be more ‘protecting orphans’ and ‘guiding lost puppies back home’ NOT watching a grown man spend his last paycheck on his eighth Nigerian prince scam

Seriously mammon? Did the prophetic dreams you sent mean nothing? The visions of the future he coincidentally had after hitting his head on a light post, only simple illusions? What more could you try beyond simply marching down their and clocking him on the head yourself?

...unless

Raphael would have your wings if you went to the human world. But that would be a lot less painful that having to watch whatever Mammon was going to do with all the rubber cement he just bought.

The next morning you decide to sneak down. The city was amazing, all colored light and fun machines that whizzed by you on the streets

But you had to stay focused

You were an angel on a mission

You made your way towards central park. Mammon went there every morning to swindle tourists out of their wallets. If you were fast you’d get there before the first patrol office started chasing him.

Spotting the albino you marched straight towards him, readied yourself, and smacked him over the head.

Maybe not very angel-like but it worked.

One introduction later and you're officially a guardian angel

Mammon’s actually pretty nice once you get to know him. Sure he may be a bit too obsessed with lining his pockets but for all his talk he never hesitates to try and help you out.

Consistent affection and care is good for him. He never really knows how to react when you wrap your wings around him but even with his tsundere objections it's obvious he’s pleased.

He’ll take whatever scraps of affection you’ll give him and practically beams at every little gesture you do, no matter how small or insignificant.

You do have to be careful though.

At his request you had attempted to bless him with a bit of luck. An easy enough spell for an angel like you (even if you were 90% sure he planned to go gambling after). Whatever scheming he’s doing immediately stops the moment you cup his face. He seems to freeze when you lean in, placing a gentle kiss on his cheek

You were about to congratulate yourself on a spell well done when you noticed the condition he was in. He was like a living statue, a statue with a very very red face

Before you can ask what was wrong he flails pushing you away and darting off to his room

Any attempts to speak to him the rest of the day were met with incoherent shouting.

It might be best to withhold any magic until you can figure out how humans work

Levi

Once again Levi’s dedication to anime gets him into trouble

It started with his most recent obsession, a new anime that follows a group of angels, produced by the famous company, Dove. The plot, the animation, the soundtrack, all of it was amazing so when they came out with a new limited edition item featuring the very symbol that the main character wore he just had to have it

The moment it came he was setting it up on its own altar, a handmade replica just like in the show only for- Oh no

Before his eyes burst a shining visage of light and then you

You blink in surprise, whether it's from taking a human form for the first time in decades or the strange new room you were in, only you know

The scene may be foreign but the guy quivering on the floor was not

BE NOT AFRAID

Your booming voice echoes around the room

For some reason the guy begins to freak out even more

Didn’t he see your halo? You even told him to not be afraid. Were humans really so strange? :(

Oh well. You hum making your aura as comforting as possible and slowly the guy calms down enough for you to coax him into a seat as you begin to explain.

Which might not have been the best move.

The moment it sunk in he was bombarding you with questions

Yes you were an angel, no you didn’t know what anime was, yes you had wings, no you didn’t have any secret ultimate moves...whatever those were

He ranted and raved over this and that and you let him. He seemed like he needed someone to talk to. It also let you piece together what had happened.

He seemed to be a natural sorcerer, and a powerful one at that if he could someone an angel with no training or even knowledge that he could do magic

Just a few minutes in his presence made his self loathing obvious. Mix in a bit of anxiety and envy and you essentially have Levi in a nutshell

So you decide to stay

What kind of angel would you be if you just left him here? Michael would understand.

Or he wouldn't, it didn’t really matter because you already made up your mind.

Living with Levi is an experience for both of you.

He introduces you to so many new things. He had little boxes that could control light and screens containing actual people to talk to. It was all quite fanciful

In return you act as his friend, encouraging him to go out with you and attending cons with him, even if you still weren't exactly sure what cosplaying is

Slowly he begins to open up for you

He’s still nervous to go out in public, and a complete introvert at heart.

But that was fine. You could both figure out this new world together, at your own pace

Satan

Definitely was not trying to summon a demon to lay havoc on his enemies

Nope, not him he says all while trying to casually kick away vials of mysterious fluids

...Right

You’ve been down to the human world enough to know a demon summoner when you see one

Or in this case a failed summoner

He has no excuse for why he called you and instead seems more insistent that you leave

As much as you you might like to return to the celestial realm, you cannot in good conscience leave a man that you know is going to try and raise hell on earth the moment your gone

So you stay, and it's a good thing you do

This man has anger issues like no other

You thought Raphael was bad this guy is like a demon himself

However he seems willing to try and make the best of what he considers a bad situation

He asks you a lot of questions on the celestial realm

For a guy who knows so much about the devildom he seems to really be lacking on any knowledge on the other celestial beings

He mostly asks you questions on the celestial war, which is a touchy topic at best and downright upsetting at worst

He’s very interested in your opinions as your point of view is very different from his own, what with being a different species and everything

You learn things too, mostly about humans and cats but you suppose its a fair trade

Because of this you become close friends

You really win him over when he finds out your calming aura naturally attracts the stray kittens Satan's been trying to pet for the last few months

It’s not uncommon to head out to late night coffee shops and discuss the merits of different aspects of your lives

But maybe you’ve gotten a bit to close when he starts asking you to revise his summoning notes

Asmo

Apparently a lifetime of partying has prepared Asmo for some very weird discoveries

When you're sent down to the human world you have one job, find and keep an eye on the potentially dangerous summoner who's been in contact with multiple high level demons in the past few days.

Instead you end up meeting Asmo

You were prepared for a fight, not to be tackled into a hug the moment you revealed yourself

Asmo on the other hand is squealing with excitement

Sweetie, he's been waiting for this moment! This is his first time meeting an angel after all

He immediately begins talking about everything he wants to do

You quickly find out that he hasn’t made any pacts...yet, if only because he “couldn’t bear to damage his skin with such an ugly mark”

...Well you suppose that's a reason to not sell your soul

Even thoughts he's aware of the three realms it doesn’t make him any less enamoured with you

He’s never met an angel, he’s quick to mention. He’d love to get to know you, if you get what he means ;)

Are all humans so upfront?

If you decline he still wants to see your true form, even after you explain that no, if you transform you will not just be a beautiful angel with wings but instead a glowing mass of eyes and feathers and angelic light that will probably end up blinding him

Blinded because of your beauty ;) ;) ;)

That said he’s easily satisfied when you just bring out your wings.

He loves fussing with them and decorates them with jewelry and roses whenever you leave them out

He even starts an angel trend on insta after posting a photo as if they were coming from his back instead

Claims your glowing aura is great for his skin

You’re not sure if that’s a pick up line or if he’s serious but he definitely basks in your presence

Loves when you talk about the celestial realm, somewhere he desperately wants to go

I mean it's the only place that's fit for a beauty like him right? But of course he can’t die yet, his fans would be sooo upset

You agree to bring him up there one day, even if that sounds a little morbid

Of course he asks you to become his guardian angel

That may not be your actual job but you can’t resist his puppy dog eyes

You and him go pretty much everywhere together, bar some more xxx rated sites

He introduces you to parties and bars, and while you don’t indulge it's enjoyable to see humans in their natural element. They’re so fun and free spirited just like Asmo

Maybe that's what attracted you to him in the first place

He loves life for what it is, something so admirably human

But you don’t slack off either. You take your role as Official Guardian Angel seriously. You guard his drinks when he goes to the bathroom, and hum celestial lullabies when he’s sad and escort him down dark alleys when walking home. He has nothing to fear with you around.

You’ve become very fond of this human. Perhaps you’ll stick around a bit longer than you planned

Beel

It’s rare to be assigned to a human so...mundane

But that’s exactly what Beel is. He goes to the gym in the mornings, works a nine to five, and comes back home to his dog

He even has a good relationship with this family, do you know how hard that is to find in this day and age???

The only thing even slightly abnormal about this guy is his appetite

He could put a gluttony demon to shame with the way he eats

But the point is you really can’t figure out why you’ve been assigned to him or how your supposed to guide him

Eat a little less? Stop stealing your brother's lunch?

It’s the first time in a long while you’ve been so stumped

So you do what any sane angel would, go down to the human world to meet him yourself

He’s a likeable guy and it’s easy to get close to him, more so do to your angelic status

Although it’s surprising how well he takes the whole angel revelation

To be honest your pretty sure he forgets most of the time

He tends to follow you around, especially at night when he insists on walking you to wherever you need to be. It’s sweet even though there's little that can really harm you in the human realm

You quickly realize that he’s the type to have nightmares, usually calling out for one of his brothers or his sister

It’s become habit to wake up and head to his room

Just being there seems to calm him down

The first time he wakes up when your doing this he ends up asking you to stay

Isn’t shy about sharing the bed either.

He’s easy going so goes along with whatever idea you have

Especially when he starts finding snacks in his bag, each one blessed for a good day or to stay full or whatever little thing you thought of that day

Belphegor

Humans can’t see angels. Not unless they want to be seen, you remind yourself for what must be the tenth time.

But you’re almost certain that guy is looking right at you.

Step to the left, his head follows

To the right, his eyes narrow looking at you like your some puzzle he just hasn’t figured out yet

…this was fine

You turn around pretending to just not see him in hope that he’ll get distracted by something else

...you glance back. Why was he still looking at you? What is with this creep?

Enough is enough.

You march over there ready to ask what his problem is. Instead he beats you to it.

Eh? You’re an angel right? He asks before you can say anything.

???? Shouldn’t he sound more shocked.

The guy just sleepily blinks. He doesn’t look like a sorcerer or a witch, in fact you can’t feel any magic from him at all.

You go to ask only to realize he’s sound asleep. It’s not like you could just leave him here. And at the same time a human who can just see angels is an oddity of itself.

You decide to hang around for a while. Belphegor doesn't mind. He only says something about it being "too troublesome to drive you off," and "you'd look like you'd just come back anyways"

Belphie sticks to you like glue, if glue was absolutely insufferable and seemed to enjoy annoying you at every possible moment

You would think this would be easy. I mean he sleeps all day and when he’s not sleeping he’s napping. Simple enough right? Wrong

When he was awake he was committed to pushing every single button you have

If it seemed like it might inconvenience or annoy you he was already doing it. Trying to smack your halo, pounce on you, or even jump off the roof just to see you scramble to catch him. He was like some terrible terrible cat

Luckily he was never energetic for long. When he wore himself out he’d retreat to the roof of his crappy one bedroom and wait for you to join him

He liked to look at the stars and he’d point them out to you. Orion, Polaris, Sirius, he would mutter, bringing you back to the days when Michael, who was once so fond of you, would sneak you down to the human world just to show you the stars and darkness the celestial realm could not offer

When he finally got tired you would take over reciting Celestial names and marking the sky with your finger just to show him where they’d be.

Those times were pleasant. Even if they were brief.

“I’m gonna jump.”

“Do it.”

“You’re an angel. Aren’t you supposed to stop me before I do something stupid?”

“You won't.”

“Aight. Bet.” Belphie pitches forward and you just manage to catch him by the leg before he falls off the roof.

Brat.

Always ruining a good moment.

You can’t even be mad. The moment you pull him up he’s already resting his fluffy head in your lap waiting for you to pet him.

He may be the most troublesome human in the entire three realms, but he’s your human
