im losing my mind at far right and far left comments saying "automated tee shirt factories" or "ill just learn how to sew"
fuck you all don't know where your clothing comes from and you're all so consumer-pilled, shopping-maxxed to even look it up???
any people who go into debt for the prices that are gonna raise, deserve what's gonna happen to them.
"ill just learn how to sew" is my fave. cause nearly all my designer clothing that isn't samples, is out of goodwill/goodwill bins cause people don't know how to do minimal basic repairs or to bring their fucking shoes to a cobbler anymore lol. i should not be getting an alice/olivia top that retails for $300 for $10 cause it's only missing 5 beads.......fix your fucking stuff? my great grandma taught my grandma, who taught my mom, who taught me how to sew as soon as i could hold a needle.
also.....a significant amount of fabric mills are in fujian. do you think there's magical crude oil processing plants in the usa making your polyester and rayon plastic threads. your cheap clothing is practically ALL made of plastic???? even guterman, famous german polyester thread brand, has moved the bulk of their processing to china for their non eco friendly specialty line.
your raw materials to sew from will be tariffed..... we don't have girls getting scalped by machinery in lowell anymore here.
"we'll retrofit factories here".... the current top of the line automated direct to garment printer is the m&r polaris. (starts at 800k and can print 10 shirts at once, but you still have to place the shirts on the initial plates). other printers in factories ive been in require shirts to be moved from screen print plates for each single color. which is labor.....to be paid at american wages. this is printed in usa, but blanks are from overseas "made in america of imported materials" babes and we STILL hit capacity at our normal factories during our main quick turn events and have to source additional factories at work.
"automated apparel"..... mostly apparel managerial roles are in the states. mostly east coast as the industry shifted from all production to mainly design/managerial cause like lowell, ma...nyc....new jersey "the embroidery capitol of the world", the south with the horrors of the cotton industry. we're not the ones who are gonna be bonked
"new york fashion week needs to suffer" is a hot take from the left i saw.......it's here cause the apparel management, design, and sales roles are here, do you think the /products/ are for new york? what i present during our internal nyfw calls is sold in EMEA, AUS, UK, USA ffs. i work on stuff produced globally?
there is no luxury automated apparel industry. there's automated cutting machines that can cut 100s of bodies at once, but the stacks have irregularities and have to be sewn......by hand. even with industrial sewing machines/sergers there's a human shoving that fabric thru the machine and sewing nearly every seam.
20% of the labor force in american domestic apparel manufacturing is undocumented immigrants.
when there's production in el salvador, bangladesh, and china we all have people in our companies who's role is "go to factory, make sure there's no slaves"..... my husbands next promotion is the "go to china make sure there's no slaves at the fujian factories and mills" role cause he chinese and speaks fuzhounese...
this is what the reality of your $30-40 shirts IS. you're not gonna get $20 shirts with royalty art made in USA. it's too much labor.
and with luxury apparel it's STILL chinese slaves. in italy and france they've both done raids of the designer brands production houses and found literal indentured servitude. undocumented chinese immigrants making 1-3 euros an hour. that "made in italy" tag is a lie, when it's made from illegally imported chinese labor at chinese slave wages.
people love to say there's "nothing in thrift stores" in some demented social justice type language about "plus size" or "leave clothing for poor people" but 75% of what goes to the floor in thrift stores goes to landfill. this is after it hits the thrift store outlets (the $2.50/lb bins)
it's so frustrating to see this crap tbh. "ill learn how to sew immediately" should we have a party, should we invite anna wintour?
#personal#everyone i know in the industry is a thrift GOD im a thrift god#the normies will buy cause the normies ALWAYS buy#my rage is incomprehendable at this????

Heartbroken MC
Requested By: @s-knoerror
Headcannons
Summary: The brothers' reactions to seeing you heartbroken to the point where you have stopped eating and you've started to lose weight.
Lucifer is the one who always makes sure everyone is okay. When his brothers need help, he was there. When they were in trouble, he saved the day. He was used to being the one who fixed everyone’s problems.
But, when you came home crying, he was shell shocked. You were usually smiling and having fun with his brothers. He’s never seen you cry like this before.
As soon as he understands what’s happening, he is at your door, asking you politely if he can enter.
When you let him in, he brings you into him, holding you gently as you cry. He rubs your back and strokes your hair, comforting you the best way he knows how.
There is a fire burning in his eyes when you tell him what happened. He wants to go after the person and show them that they messed with the wrong human. He wants to punish the person in a very deserving way.
But, he also wants to be there and hold you. He wants you to feel comforted by him. He wants to tell you that everything is going to be okay.
He’ll let you choose what you want from him.
If you ask him to find the person, he’ll be gone in an instant. He’ll be itching to get revenge for you and will do so in a quick manner before returning to you.
If you ask him to stay, he’ll climb into your bed and make sure you are both comfortable. He’ll hold you forever if that’s what it takes. He just wants to help you stop crying.
He will not accept it when he notices that you’ve started losing weight because you haven’t been eating.
He’ll be very kind the entire time until he notices this. Then he is stern with you.
“You have to eat something, for your own sake.” He will not be disobeyed, especially when it comes to your health.
But, as soon as you oblige, he’ll go back to being tender with you.
Mammon didn’t know how to react when you came home crying one day. You tried to immediately go to your room before any of the brothers stopped you but Mammon was too quick.
He caught you before you were able to disappear into the comfort of your bedroom. He looked over your broken figure and immediately pulled you inside your room, shutting the door.
He didn’t want any of his other brothers coming in and overwhelming you.
He wanted to be the only one who got to take care of you.
If you let him, he’ll hug you tightly, doing everything in his power to help you feel better. He’ll gently stroke your hair while you tell him everything about what happened.
He’s torn between going after the person who hurt you and making them feel ten times the amount of pain and staying with you and comforting you.
He chooses the latter. He can’t leave you in your time of need. Besides, there would be plenty of time to make the person pay later. Once you were feeling better.
In the meantime, his crows will track the person down for him. They would not get away with causing you this much pain.
He offers to take you out anywhere you want to go. It’ll be his treat and everything! Or if you don’t want to go out, he offers to buy you any gift you want.
Just please stop crying. He can’t bear to see his human so sad.
He starts getting really worried about you when he notices you haven’t been eating.
“Come on, Y/N, ya have to eat something.”
You gently refuse his offer. You know that he cares about you and he just wants to help you feel better. But everything hurts too much right now. You didn’t even want to think about food.
When you start losing weight, he starts panicking. Your health was deteriorating in front of him. He was now in overbearing protective mode. He would no longer take no for an answer. He wasn’t going to let you slip between his fingers.
Levi may claim he is well-versed in things when it comes to normies. That he knows what he’s talking about thanks to his anime and manga that portray humans and the human world. But, in reality, whenever it comes to you, he is completely lost.
He is freaking out when he sees you come home crying. He doesn’t know what to do. But, he can’t do nothing! That was his Henry in there! Crying!
He nervously knocks on your door before entering and is slightly shaking when he notices your sobbing figure.
He rushes inside carefully handing you a nearby tissue box before sitting on the bed next to you. He’s happy when you take the tissue box from him, wiping your tears.
He tenses when you pull him into a hug, needing some sort of comfort. He relaxes though as he understands that you need this and his arms slowly wrap around you, pulling you in tighter.
Under normal circumstances, he was sure his heart would be exploding out of his chest right now. But, concern was taking the place of the normal nervous feeling.
You stayed like that for a while until he asked you why you couldn’t stop crying. You explained everything that had happened. How dare someone hurt you!
Levi had seen heartbreak many times in his anime. All you needed was a distraction!
He’ll immediately suggest playing games, but if you weren’t feeling up to it, he’ll bring over manga. If you didn’t want to read it yourself, he’ll read it to you. When you were tired of that, he’ll suggest an anime marathon.
He just wants you to stop crying more than anything.
He is in panic mode when you aren’t eating. He doesn’t know what else to do to take care of you. He’s tried everything he’s seen.
He is fully convinced you are going to die on him when you’ve started to lose weight.
��Y/N, p-please eat! You can’t die on me! I…need my player two!”
You quickly entered the library, looking for some semblance of solitary. Tears poured down your face as you rushed inside. You knew that none of the brothers would be in there - except for maybe one.
But, you didn’t care if Satan was in there. You just knew you couldn’t go to your room or you would be bombarded with the other demon brothers and you needed some time to yourself. You need some time to compose yourself.
The library was like a safe haven for you and Satan. So, when you entered the library and saw him sitting there, you didn’t think much of it. You just went to the couch, letting the tears freely fall down your face, knowing you were in a safe space.
Satan was confused at first to see your saddened state, but it immediately turned to concern when he saw you crying. He moved over to you quickly, gently pulling you into his arms. This is how humans liked to be comforted right? He thought he read that in a book somewhere.
When you didn’t pull away, he let his hold on you tighten, bringing you even further into him. Who dared to hurt you?
When you were ready to talk, Satan listened to every word you said. His eyes filled with rage the more you told him. When you had finished explaining, Satan gently removed you from his arms. You looked at him confused when he pulled away from you.
“Forgive me, I’ll be back later.”
He did everything he could to hold back his wrath when he was in front of you. But, he had been pushed to his limits; and, if he didn’t leave now, he was sure to lash out.
He immediately went to find the person who hurt you, using them as an outlet for his wrath.
When he finally managed to calm down, he returned to you and stayed by your side. He would wipe every tear for you, even if they didn’t stop falling.
Satan would notice you weren’t eating immediately and start coming up with a plan to get you to eat. He knew you didn’t want to, but when you started losing weight, it was no longer a choice.
He wasn’t going to lose you to grief over someone who didn’t deserve you in the first place.
Asmo was well-versed in people with broken hearts. He had broken so many in his time alive. He had seen their heart break as he told him he couldn’t be with them, or that there was someone else, etc. He had seen the pain they went through and he couldn’t help but feel sorry for them everytime; and, he was thankful that he never had to go through something like that.
But, when Asmo saw you come home crying, images of the people he hurt flashed in his mind. He saw the same pain and sadness that was in their eyes reflecting in yours. Someone hurt you.
This was completely unacceptable. He didn’t know what happened or who hurt you, but that wasn’t his top priority. His first task was making sure you were okay.
He would quickly follow you to your room and gently sit on your bed, wiping away your tears.
He would wait for you to calm down a bit before asking what happened. When you explain it to him, he remains calm. He doesn’t want to make you more upset. But his mind is racing with all the ideas he has on how to get revenge on the person who hurt you.
He immediately suggests a spa day. He’ll bring the items to your room and start trying to give you a facial. But, when you can’t stop crying, he’ll stop what he’s doing and pull you into a hug. He’ll let you cry into him for as long as you need.
His own heart can’t help but break at seeing you so sad. You were usually so full of life, so he hated seeing you in this state. But, he noticed that even though you were crying, you still looked beautiful.
Asmo spends the time trying to comfort you while also trying to help take care of you. He’ll do your normal daily routine for you, knowing you don’t have the motivation to do it yourself.
He’ll start panicking when he realizes you’ve lost weight because you haven’t been eating.
Now, he’s crying too as he clings to you and begs you to eat something. If you don’t eat then you’ll only get weaker and weaker and he’s so scared of losing you.
Beel was known to be the protector in the family. He was much larger and stronger than most demons and his big heart ensured that whoever was with him always felt safe.
But, when you came home crying, he was at a loss. He was used to protecting people from physical threats, not emotional ones.
He immediately ran to you and enveloped you in his arms, lifting you off your feet. He carried you to your room, thinking you would be more comfortable there rather than in his.
He held you tightly as the tears soaked into his shirt. He wasn’t one to talk very much, so he was fine if you just wanted to cry it out and not talk about it all. He would be there the whole time either way.
When you finally were ready to talk, he wouldn’t let you go. He would cradle you in his arms as you tell him everything that happened. He was definitely angry at the person, but there was no way he was leaving you.
You needed to be taken care of right now and he would be damned if it wasn’t by him.
He would try everything he could to distract you from the pain. He just wants you to stop crying. You look so sad.
When Beel notices that you aren’t eating, it is a big problem for him. He couldn’t imagine being so sad that you didn’t want to eat. Now he’s even more angry at the person who hurt you.
He’ll continue to bring you food even though you politely reject him every time. It made him sad but it didn’t deter him from continuing to try.
When he hugged you and noticed you had lost weight, it was like a siren went off in his head and he became extremely worried.
He’ll beg you to eat over and over, telling you how worried he is about you. He’ll give you his best puppy dog eyes. Anything to get you to eat.
Belphie didn’t seem like the comforting type. More often than not he was running around causing trouble for his older brothers.
But, he has had practice in comforting people. Mostly Beel, whenever he woke up from a nightmare about Lilith. Belphie knew exactly what to do to lull his brother back to sleep.
When you enter the house, completely broken, Belphie is surprised at first. Who could have hurt you this badly?
He follows you to your room, sitting down on the bed next to you. He takes in your appearance, noticing the multitude of tears that fall down your cheeks.
“I had a Black Tapir Casserole today from a new restaurant. We could go and get you one,” Belphie says. “Or a BLT Devil sandwich?”
When you have no reaction to his words, Belphie realizes it might be more difficult than naming food to cheer you up.
Belphie sits there for a second, wondering how he would like to be comforted if he were in your position. He decides to grab one of your pillows, placing it on his lap and then pulling you onto it. This is how he would want to be held by you if he was upset, so he thought it might help.
He smiles just a bit when you relax into the pillow, leaning further into it. He gently plays with your hair, hoping you’ll find any sort of comfort in his actions.
When you’re finally ready to talk, you tell Belphie all about the person who hurt you. He wears a calm expression on his face, but there is rage in his eyes. He was going to have so much fun with them later.
When you don’t stop crying, Belphie tries tugging on your hair or poking you in the cheek. Maybe he could annoy you enough that you would yell at him. As long as it gets you to stop crying.
Belphie brings you food as a means to make you feel better, but when you refuse every time, he gets slightly frustrated. Not at you, just in general. He doesn’t know what else to do.
When you start losing weight, Belphie is furious. He was ready to tear the person who hurt you like this limb from limb. But, right now, he needed to focus. He needed to convince you to eat.
“Come on, Y/N. You need to eat. Don’t let them win.”

“But what about my kitten!?”
The new exchanged student asked looking anxiously at Lucifer.
“As I said we have made arrangements for all your human world responsibilities.” He answered, not quite sure what part of they made arrangements you didn’t understand.
“No you don’t understand! They’re only a few weeks old! I’m like their parent and litter in one, we can’t be apart right now!” You try to plead your case. If you have to spend a year in hell fine whatever but you refuse to do it without your kitten.
“I’m afraid we’re not able to accommodate a cat, surly it will be fine in foster care until you return.” Lucifer didn’t like the way you looked at him, it was just a cat. It’s not like they asked you to leave behind your human child.
“But they’ve already been abandoned once,” you start to choke up. “They’re gonna think I abandoned them too.” Now you’re crying. The human exchange student has been in Devildom for less than five minutes and they’re already crying.
Diavolo speaks up, “surely there’s room at the house of lamentation for one little kitten.” He doesn’t wait to Lucifer to object before he continues. “We’ll make the arrangements for you kitten to be brought with the rest of your personal items.”
“Promise,” you ask between sniffs, wiping the tears from your eyes.
“You have my word as prince.” He assured you.
*************************************************
How the brothers react
Lucifer
He’s not pleased. It’s not that he has anything against cats. He’s just not mentally prepared for the chaos having one in the house will cause. Surely his brothers will find a way to make it his problem. He’s not sure how yet but he’s got a bad feeling. He’s not quite sure what it takes to care for such a young kitten. Truly he’s impressed by how responsible and nurturing you are for it. Although he is worried about it getting in the way of your lessons. Or his brothers getting in the way constantly bothering you to spend time with your cat.
Mammon
Our first cat person. He already spends a lot of time hanging around you being your first and all. But now he has even more reason to spend time in your room. He loves playing with them so you can study. May buy too many cat toys for them. Will definitely act like you two are a couple and your kitten is your child. If you ever argue or try to kick him out of your room he’ll pick them up and say shit like “but think of our baby” in the end he spoils them and become just as attached to your cat as he is too you
Leviathan
What shut in anime nerd doesn’t like cats? You kitten definitely helps Levi warm up to you. It’s not that he wants to spend time with a normie like you but he does want to see you kitten. He actually becomes essential in taking care of them when you first arrive. Kittens that small can’t be left alone all day. Thankfully Levi takes a lot of classes online and is able to watch them throughout the day. He still keeps them in your room, he can’t have them trying to jump on his shelves and knock down his precious collection.
Satan
He could barely contain his excitement at how it worked out. If Diavolo hadn’t spoken for Lucifer he would have. Even if it took a legendary tantrum, he was not going to pass up on the opportunity to have an little kitten living at hol. This leads to you and Satan becoming close very quickly. He’s pretty much always in your room. At first just for your kitten but this eventually lead to him wanting to be with you as well. It gets to the point Lucifer has to come pull him away so he’s not getting in the way of your studies.
Asmodeus
Asmo’s not really a cat person. But he can’t deny that your little kitten is adorable! He snaps hundred of photos snd videos of them of his devilgram story. Will try to steal them away to use as a prop. You have day by day documentation of them growing from how often Asmo photographs them. Unlike his older brothers he doesn’t stick around very long, getting bored of your kitten as soon as their attention wonders away from him. But his visits are still fairly frequent.
Beelzebub
He tries to eat them. They’re just so tiny and bite sized. At least he didn’t want to eat your kitten anymore than he wanted to eat you at first. Even after he gets over his initial hunger he’s not any quicker to warm up to you. He’s just not a cat person so he doesn’t go out of his way to hang around.
Belphegor
After the whole incident, he’s disappointed he missed out of seeing the kitten when it first arrived. By the time he’s free your kitten is already a few months old and very energetic. He’s not a huge fan of them when they’re running around bouncing off the walls. But he does adore when they finally burn out and want to cuddle. Loves taking little cat naps with them but isn’t too thrilled when they jump on him or swat at him in his sleep.

Pre-Period cuddle
Warnings: AFAB!MC, English is not my first language and it's not beta read, don't like don't read.
Anyway, I picture that Devildom is colder than the human world.
And your temperature lower when your period near, you would be more clingy and want some warm physical touch.
At first, you're only buy some plushie to help yourself through the process.
But, since you started adjusting Devildom and familia with those brothers. You started to indulge yourself.
Actually, you and Mammon just THAT close that you can't even wait until you leave the RAD.
You rash on the road, spotted Mammon and Levi bicking with each other again.
And you hug your first demon from behind, your arms snake around his waist and hooked your fingers so he can't struggle out.
"O..Oi! Human! I told ya several times, aren't you listening at all? Don't just hug me so suddenly, you're just gonna freak me out!"
"Sowwy Mammon, I just want to cuddle with you."
You nuzzle your head into his back and giggled when Mammon didn't flinch away.
Mammon pet your head and sighed.
"There there, ya just can't stop yourself, don't ya? Ha...I would indulge you this time since I am THE GREAT MAMMON!"
"Thank you Mammon... You're so warm and I luw your fragrance..."
Your mumble made the Avatar of Greed blushed harder, he didn't say anything, just hold you and down the staors.
"Normie..." Levi shook his head and stormed behind you two.
This giant teddy bear welcomes your cuddle at ANYTIME AND ANYWHERE!!
You started to feel the pain in your lower abdomen and the most private spot.
And the strong wind in RAD made you more uncomfortable.
"Beel!" You called him while you ran into him and buried your face into his chest.
Yiu sighed and nuzzled in the heaven of the warm.
Beel's hand cupped and ruffled your hair instinctively.
"What's wrong, MC? Are you hungry?"
"No...just cold and wanna cuddle with you."
Beel hummed, the next moment, you found you were lifted up, Beel's left arm supported you and his left hand brushed your inner knees when he kept walking.
You lay your head against his chest, your arms around his neck.
"Then we cuddle, MC. You can sleep when you are tired, I will carry you."
His soft voice and warmth lured you into the depth of peaceful darkness.
It's rare for you to sleep in the meeting.
But you couldn't help yourself, you just felt drowsy and tired.
The meeting was like usual ones, Satan was the one suggested, Mammon would complain that they always adopt his idea, Beel would listen while eating, Asmo and Levi would be busy with their D.D.D and Levi would ask if he can leave the meeting early, Belphie would just sleeping through the whole meeting.
Normally, you'd be the one to help Lucifer put his younger brothers into their places, but today...
You could barely hear what they were discussing. Those voices were some kind of lullaby to you, you felt safe, and hard to resist the invitation of the Sleeping.
You chose to close your eyes for several seconds.
The lack of your cheerful and soothing voice earned Lucifer and Diavolo's attention. The Avatar of Pride found that you were dozing off, he frowned cause he knew you must be too tired to keep awake for some reason. And you went to bed early last night so it's not the case of enjoying your night and now no energy. But if Diavolo can't stand this and if he wants to let Barbatos 'take care' all of you... Lucifer peered at the prince, he found that Diavolo was admiring your sleeping face. His face might still be serious, but Lucifer could see Diavolo had hearts and sparkles of adoration in his golden eyes. Mammon probably noticed that the human had dared to fall asleep in a bunch of demons, he lowered his volume. Belphie shared his pillow with you, he patted your head softly and kissed your hair. Then he snuggled the other half of the pillow before he napped again. "Should we wake MC up?" Asmo whispered Diavolo waved his head. "Well, I think it's better to let them sleep longer, can you bring my coat and cover on MC please, Barbatos." "Understand, my lord." The dark red LARGE coat from Diavolo covered your whole body, then you hummed and nuzzled under the silky fabric. Asmo snapped several pictures and whispered-yelled "Awww, they're so adorable when they sleep!" Lucifer sighed though his stares softened when they landed on the sweet yet innocent lamb just showed their weekness to the dense of the beasts. "Wake them up after 15 minutes, and keep your voice down." The brothers all nodded in silence.
BONUS
When you wake up, you realize that you're carried by someone.
The spicy yet comfortable fragrance scent and the raven black hair already tell you who is carrying you.
"Lucifer...?"
You mumble his name, try to blink those sleepnesses away.
"We nearly got home, MC. You don't have to step down right now."
"...Sorry, I slept through the meeting."
"Did you sleep well?"
The firstborn didn't change his tender tone, so you assumed that he was not angry about this accident. Still, you told yourself that you won't let this happen again.
Lucifer's kindness isn't unlimited and can't be taken for granted..
"Diavolo enjoyed this small accident, and you're not being well, do you, MC?"
You nodded, the warmth from Lucifer easing the pain in your abdomen, and you swallowed your embarrassment and shyness.
"Yeah...my period is supposed to visit me this week, and the natural biological system costs me more energy to deal with..."
"To deal with... what?"
Now you feel the heat on your cheeks from your neck.
"The blood and nutritious for the baby... when the female human doesn't impregnate, her body would refresh those old blood and send it out of the body. "
Lucifer didn't say anything, his steps were unstable for a second but became normal quickly.
He put you down when you stand in front of the House of Lamentation. You thank him and ghost to your room quickly.
"Well, I think it's time to regain that knowledge about female human physiology and how to take care of them when they are in period."
Lucifer murmured to himself.

I need to get these out of my system, so‼️‼️
Meet my ultra original Homestuck fankid!!
Dead-Eyed Cindy!
a.k.a. Cynthia Lenore!🗝️
A completely normal teenager, just like every other teen in Homestuck, trust!!🤚
More about her under the cut!!
(Note that this drawing was made when I just returned to HS and haven't yet seen some of the amazing variations of their designs here on Tumblr, so my design for Dave will probably be changed, idk)
She lived with her Big Sister, they were Strider's neighbors from a floor down
They lived in hard financial conditions, her Sister overworked herself to provide for them both and was almost never home to look after Cindy, which forced Cindy to fend for herself most of the time when she was little
She met Dave on the roof once, the meeting involved spying on his Bro and her Sister talking about some secret Older Sibling Stuff or something. It looked like her Sister was crying? Overall a pretty awkward first meeting
Cindy felt guilty often about their situation for some reason, so she helped with whatever she could in the house
But her relationship with her Sister was.. not ideal, it was very strained and painful for both of them, Cindy felt hurt from her Sister not being around much, even if she understood why that was
Even so, she still felt cared for and appreciated her Sister and her sacrifices
Cindy was bullied in school, I know, shocker, she was considered weird, dirty, ugly, scary, and was avoided most of the time. Some kids called her "Dead-Eyed Cindy", because of how her eyes resemble the ones of a dead fish, but she reclaimed that nickname for herself, because she thinks it makes her sound badass. She didn't know what friendship was supposed to be like, and convinced herself she was better off without anyone, but she desperately wanted to have real friends she could trust one day
She was very stiff emotionally when she first started chatting with Dave, but with time became more sincere and open thanks to also getting to know Rose, Jade, and John
She and Dave are both weird dead thing collectors, but Cindy prefers to collect animal bones and skulls. Their music preferences don't match like. In any form, but Cynthia greatly enjoys Dave's mixes and tunes, and always encouraged him to do more
She adores gothic rock, punk rock, heavy metal, screamo and any other "edgy" music genre you can think of
Of course she didn't have money to go to concerts and buy merch of her favorite bands, so all the posters in her room were home printed
She's all about that messy grungy look. Her hair? Intentually cut like that by herself. Smeared makeup? Her favorite style. Her clothes? Ripped and modified by herself. She wanted to ward off normies away from her this way, not caring about what other people think of her, and also just because she likes the style
She didn't like Rose's overly posh way of wording things at first(so pretentious), but they quickly clicked over shared interests in goth culture and the paranormal unknown, Cindy cares about her greatly and comforted her through the hardships Rose had to endure
Cindy didn't know what to think of Jade's strangeness and, quite frankly, didn't like her vibes at first, but warmed up to her greatly with time and really sympathized with her, Cindy really believes Jade deserves so much better, and is determined to let her know they care
John was very intimidated by Cindy at first, and Cindy assumed he just didn't like her, so she acted more coldly towards him, and it continued to be like that for a pretty awkwardly long time, but of course his dorkiness hooked her up quick, as it did his other friends, and they slowly but surely became very close; Cynthia became very protective of Egbert fast
Cindy always tries to put in work into her friendships, as she naturally doesn't want to be alone again, but also because she doesn't want her friends to feel left out or ignored, cause she knows what it's like
Which also seems like overcompensation, as she feels like she's not the best person to be around, so she tries to be helpful, even when she no longer has any mental resources for that
She had no clue about what kind of game Sburb even was, and she definitely didn't have time to ask when meteors suddenly started raining from the sky
No fucking way was she going to die if she could help it, so she fought for her and her friends' lives with all she had
How was she able to godtier and whatnot without entering the game? Beats me, you're asking as if I should know and write some good explanation for it and make it make sense🙄🙄💅 I just wanna play touoys, hope you understand💓
Cindy started questioning her identity along the way of their adventures on the meteor, and started using she/they/him pronouns
If I had to write about her relationships with all of the trolls we'd be here all day, so let me just point out the most relevant things here <3
Gamzee had a pitch crush on her, and they entertained the idea for a while, but she quickly recoiled from that when Gamzee, uh, started doing Stuff. She actively maintains friendships with Aradia, Kanaya, and Tavros, and is on good terms with Terezi, Sollux, and Nepeta. It's a bit more complicated with the others, though.. Their relationship with Karkat was very murky and tense at first, she wasn't having his bullshit, but he grew on them with time, when Cindy realized they both have similar goals and wants. She can't tolerate Eridan's bullshit and mostly avoids him, doesn't like Equius for his attitude and hates him for what he did to Aradia, Feferi.. well, they just can't find a common ground, especially because Feferi's royalty, and Cindy holds no respect for them. And Vriska.. he justifiably doesn't like her, at all, but is somewhat sympathetic of her issues.
She is a Page of Blood, and their journey of self-realization had to teach him that she can't win and please them all, that they can be their true self around her friends, and that he can also depend on others for help when she needs it
She learned to make chains from blood, his or otherwise, and use them in battle, and at their highest potential she can bind someone's body to another's and adjust what it means according to situation.
You're badly injured and there's no one else to help in sight? She can bind your body to hers and share their life essence with you, practically making it so you both share an internal system, and if she's healthy enough, then you'll be too in a second
He can drain someone's blood and give it to another if they need it, she can solidify blood inside someone's veins to make it hard to move
She can make a dying person's heart beat via a blood bind, but it's very draining for her and can be quite deadly if done hastily and improperly, and he can't do it when a body already went cold, at least they didn't learn how to, maybe with enough conviction and training she could one day🤔
Maybe with time she found even more uses and possibilities for her chains
She's a great motivator, especially if it's his friends that need morale, they always have their friends' backs
She's not a fan of being a leader, but can be if the situation calls for it
Overall, Cynthia is a person with an intimidating exterior, and warm and genuine interior!🥹
Here's the ref with both the casual fit and the godtier pajamas in full color👇

dating xavier headcanons?Thanks bb
Dating Xavier Thorpe Would Include ~
Hi anon ! Hope you enjoy these hcs ! I’ll totally be adding more as I think of them, so check back every once in a while to see if I’ve added more!
Warnings : swearing, cause I have a dirty mouth lmao
Masterlist
Dating Xavier would include…
Long nights spent in his shed, drawing, studying and just generally having fun together.
Xavier is lowkey possessive of you, but not in a bad way, like yeah he doesn’t like you talking to other guys but he knows where to draw the line. So, possessive, but only when he needs to be.
If you’re generally a shy person, then he’ll help you when in public. Like telling someone your order at the weathervane or asking for help when shopping.
Xavier just adores you, literally every aspect about you is his favorite. Your eyes? Favorite part about you. Your lips? Favorite part about you.
He MELTS anytime you say his name or nickname and especially when you smile at him.
Xavier loves to spoil you, he can’t help it. You like a shirt in a store? He buys it for you to wear on your next date. You find a cute stuffed animal at a carnival? You bet your ass he’s playing until he wins it. Obviously you tell him no and he pouts everytime.
“It’s just a shirt, Xav. I don’t need it, I have plenty.” “But I wanna spoil you.”
He can tell when you’re having a rough day, he knows you so well that he can tell when you haven’t slept well or you’re stressed about homework or exams.
When you haven’t slept well, he’ll let you use him as a pillow to rest your head on during lunch or free time.
If you forgot to study for an important test or do the homework, then he’ll go over key points and information with you or give you some of the answers to at least get a decent grade.
He enjoys drawing you, and you love to pose for him. He’s drawn you so many times, he has like 10 sketchbooks full of just drawings of you.
“Could you move your head to the left?” “Of course, babe.”
CUTEST PETNAMES FOR EACH OTHER OMG. He’ll call you things like darling, or his muse. You’d call him something cheesy, like bear or bubba.
If you’re also an outcast at Nevermore, you’re always sneaking into each others dorms, but usually his since he doesn’t have a roommate.
If you’re a normie in Jericho, you both will always meet up after school and on the weekends for a date. Your go to is usually the Weathervane, but if Tyler is working, you’ll just go to the park instead. Since one time you went on a date while he was working and he wouldn’t stop flirting with you, Xavier almost punched the shit out of him.
Ever since, when Tyler is working, you avoid the Weathervane.
Xavier gets so happy when you play with his hair, could literally fall asleep as you massage his scalp. He’s such a softie and will ask if you could braid his hair or help him put it into a bun.

i love your works your such a great writer!! can i request a reader with a caffeine addiction and is always drinking energy drinks or coffee?? with the characters deuce spade and riddle rosehearts (or anyone you want to im fine with anyone!! just not the staff)
remember to take breaks!! you also dont have to do this request if you dont want to <3
*reads this as I’m on my second monster of the day*
AHHH I LOVE RIDDLE SO MUCH!!
He’s definitely in my top 5 characterssss<3
I did this in a hc sort of format!! So, I’m sorry if you didn’t want that!!
Also, I’m adding Idia because he’s my bbg and I’ve been DYINGGGG to write for him!!
And this just seemed like the perfect one for him whshjsbsb
♡-Riddle Rosehearts-♡
- I feel like Riddle is definitely the type to tell you to stop drinking so much coffee/so many energy drinks because it’s incredibly unhealthy.
- I mean, with his upbringing being super strict, I doubt he was ever allowed near coffee, let alone energy drinks!!
- His mother would have a heart attack if she EVER saw him drinking an energy drink.
- Water or Tea, those were his options growing up.
- He, of course, tries to offer you some healthier options than those energy drinks you buy in copious amounts.
- Like tea that has caffeine in it, or, perhaps, water!!
- It’s concerning to him how little water you drink..
- But no matter what he does, you always go back to the energy drinks!!
- Overall, he’d definitely disapprove of how many you drink.
- It wouldn’t be a problem if it was once-in-a-while, but when he watches you finish your third one of the day?
- Yeah, he’s definitely concerned!!
- He just doesn’t know how to make you stop!! He can’t find a substitute you like:(((
- Oh Great Sevens, what is he going to do with you?!
♤-Deuce Spade-♤
- Freaking out. Worrying. Scared for your health.
- This poor guy please take pity on him
- Dude thought eggs bought at the store would still turn into chicks. He’s gullible, and freaking the fuck out when he sees you down your 4th cup of coffee of the day.
- Definitely searches up “What happens if you drink too many energy drinks?”
- And then proceeds to freak out and panic when he finds out they can cause heart failure
- Or, even worse, he asks Ace what’ll happen. And Ace just lovessss to fuck with him.
- So he tells him you’ll die and that just makes him freak out even more.
- Definitely thinks you’re gonna have a heart attack and is just WAITING for it to happen.
- Nervously stares at you as you continue to drink your second energy drink of the day.
- In your defense, you’re tired. That crow won’t leave you alone and all of your friends certainly don’t help.
- But that definitely doesn’t mean he isn’t waiting for you to have a heart attack.
- Like I said, just stares at you as your drink your coffee/energy drink.
“…what??”
“N-Nothing!!!”
- Bros panicking PLEASE reassure him you’re not gonna fall over and die at any second.
- He’s very happy when you tell him you’ll try to calm it down, just for him:))
🌀-Idia Shroud-🌀
- Idia is your #1 supplier.
- He definitely lives off of energy drinks, and definitely prefers energy drinks over coffee.
- Gets excited when his favorite brand of energy drink comes out with a new flavor.
- And, if you’re close enough to him, will have you come over and try the new flavor with him.
- Though, he definitely wouldn’t mind if you two just called and tried it instead.
- No matter how close you are to him, he’ll always be nervous about having you in his room.
- But yeah, he does the exact same thing, so he definitely doesn’t try to get you to give your bad habit up.
- He doesn’t wanna be a hypocrite!!
- #1 supplier, #1 supporter.
- He seems like the type to make into a competition.
“You’ve drank how many today? 5? Guess how many I’ve drank. 10. 10! Take that normie.”
“You’ve tried ALL the flavors? Okay, which one’s your favorite? That one?? Ugh, you’re so basic. Major L.”
- Casual energy drink trash talk while you guys are playing some type of RPG together.
- Ortho is his delivery guy.
- Legit has Ortho grab a case of whatever energy drink you want, and run it over to Ramshackle for you.
- Or, he has you come and pick it up at Ignihyde.
- Either way bro is NOT coming out of his room.
❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀
I hope you enjoyed it!! This was my first request EVERR!! So I was super excited to do it!!
I’ve got some other requests in my inbox, so don’t worry I’ll be getting to those!!
It’s summer break, so I’ve got tons of free time! So request away!!
I write for other fandoms, so check those out on my pinned post just in case you wanna request something for a different fandom!!

Hi -- may I bother you with another request I had?
So, what about the brothers with an mc who's the complete opposite of them? Basically mammon with an mc that's responsible and able to take care of themselves financially, Levi with a normie and extroverted mc, etc.
Please, again, don't feel pressured whatsoever! Take your time to do this, and don't do this request if you're not ok with it as well. Second pov, gn reader. Thank you!
CW: Suffocation (Belphie's part)
Lucifer
With you, who is easily excitable/impressed, gets easily distracted, and is more laxed with your work
At first, he didn't pay attention, until you started to cause problems for him, which is when he had to step in
He found you extremely infuriating, and would try to get you to actually focus or be disciplined with your work
You were just another Mammon to him, basically
Eventually he did get used to it, and at some point would work with you instead of against you
Lucifer would find ways to get you to focus and promise to get you something if you completed just this bunch of assignments
While he still had to reel you in sometimes when you wandered off in town, he was much more gentle with you then at the beginning
Mammon
With you, who is more financially responsible, responsible in general and more proper
Honestly, he saw you as a buzzkill at first
His first thought, being a demon of good character reading, was "oh fuck, another Lucifer."
You would often be the one to keep him on track and actually made Mammon pay Levi back for some of the money by making him work some shifts at Hell's Kitchen (which the otaku was extremely grateful for)
His brothers had made many comments on how you were a good influence on him, especially Lucifer, who would make further remarks about how he was smart in choosing Mammon as your guardian
As time went on, he did use some of the knowledge he gained and sometimes had the thought of "what would MC think?" whenever he wanted to buy things... even though most of the time his greed still won...
He has to laugh at the times he bought something for you, and you would sometimes scold him for buying something for you, but still take it anyways
Leviathan
With you, who is a social, extroverted normie
There's not much else to say except that he straight up didn't like you, and would always avoid eye contact so he wouldn't risk a conversation with a normie like you
These traits of yours also fuelled the envy of you winning the TSL competition even more
It took a while, but he started opening up to you
You actually got him to come out of his room a few times, you often delivered packages to his door, so on and so forth.
Levi is thankful for you helping him out out of his shell.
Satan
With you, who is more academically challenged, calm and tidy
Satan found you... confusing, at first.
You were calm, and being a creature that was made from wrath, he assumed you were masking it to hide something much deeper
But nope! You just had incredible patience with his idiotic brothers that surrounded you.. or just in general
He studied you a lot, which also led him to the conclusion that you weren't the.. sharpest tool in the shed when it came to academics
It was much later after you helped him that he decided to help you with tests or homework, it's the least he could do after all
There would be the occasional nights that some of the brothers would be in MC's room for a movie night, and Satan would notice how tidy MC is with their belongings...
Perhaps he should ask for their help in organizing his own room at some point
Asmodeus
With you, who is less popular, more introverted and not too focused on your fashion/skincare routine/appearance
It wasn't immediately clear to him that you had these qualities, but he soon noticed how introverted you are during class or just at the HoL
One day, he randomly asked you about your home life and how many friends you had
You answered saying you weren't extremely popular where you live and didn't have too many friends in real life
He felt bad, and tried getting you out there by dragging you to places like Hell's Kitchen... with little warning...
Yea.. It backfired...
During a Majolish haul, he noticed you often shrugged at the clothes he suggested you wear, and gravitated towards more comfy and not so fancy clothes, which surprised him
During a beauty store haul, he again noticed that you didn't really seem to care what you looked like to the public eye, nor did you really know what some products were
"Hon.. I have to ask.. What's your skincare routine like?"
"Skincare? I uh.. don't really have a routine..?"
The appalled gasp he gave was loud
What do you mean you don't have a skincare routine?!!
"We are getting you one, ASAP!!"
Overall, well meaning, but could be pushy in the things he does if you don't set boundries
Beelzebub
With you, who is sassy, weak and follows your head more than your heart
Not much to say at the very beginning, but during your first week or so here, he found you... a bit standoffish
You constantly sassed his brothers which he didn't really liked or appreciated
You were smart, and mostly followed logic, but didn't really follow your heart
Beel wore his heart on his sleeve, so it was pretty weird for him to be around you, but the concept of following your head wasn't exactly alien to him since Satan did as well
In terms of your strength... He noticed a few times that you'd refuse to pick up a heavy object, making up an excuse as to why you couldn't do it (which would sometimes cause Mammon to tease you)
When he would (rarely) see you try to pick something heavy up.. You failed tremendously, which he would try to help spare your embarrassment and pick it up himself..
Fortunately for him, as you stayed, you started to grow a bit more warm-hearted and compassionate
And hey, if you're up to it, maybe he could help you gain some muscles in the future
Belphegor
With you, who is a lot more warm, open minded and energetic
When you came to him, he figured right away that you were stupid enough to help him
All that mattered to him is that he left
When you came to the attic, having finally opened the door, he went to trick you into suffocation
However, the only thing that stopped him for a minute was your smile.. It was similar to Lilith's... That grin she always wore when she always reigned triumphant in little competition they would always have
He hesitated, but soon shook it off and went through with his plan
Belphegor almost felt bad when you were suffocating, but you were a human, and in his mind, all humans should be destroyed
When the royals told the brothers that you were Lilith's descendent, everything just came crashing down
No wonder your smile reminded him of Lilith's...
During the aftermath, he became a lot more cuddly
In hope that you would someday forgive him..

kiridai + haizaki if they were dog owners attending a puppy class
Hanamiya Makoto
Bought a breed that needs good socialisation (I’m thinking a serious police lines Dutch Shepherd cause he’d want something with brains and drive but also something not “normie” as a Malinois) so puppy class it is to get the dog amiable around others.
The dog acts like it’s perfectly trained half the time: just a couple months old and already has perfect focus, and obviously Hanamiya goes above and beyond with training in his spare time, so the dog responds to cues perfectly, and Hanamiya has perfect timing with marking and rewarding behaviours because he’s just that sort of person
The other half of the time, the dog is kicking off because another puppy looked at them.
And the trainer’s telling Hanamiya just to relax, shorten up his leash a bit, take a deep breath, but they can see his eyes just glazing over with fury every time the barking starts up again.
It hurts having to alternate between “Hanamiya, can you and [dog] demonstrate this behaviour because [dog] does it perfectly” and “right, someone will go get a barrier to calm [dog] down a bit” but Hanamiya’s going to have to get used to it, because that’s what you buy with an police lines import.
The dog is always going to be a bit nuts, just like his owner ;)
(Don’t choose a serious dog breed for clout as a first time owner, how about that Makoto?)
Seto Kentaro
For Seto, I’m thinking he buys a small lapdog type terrier, maybe an English toy terrier, or maybe an English bulldog (although obviously I don’t recommend buying a breed with as many health issues as the English bulldog, and I’m pretty sure Seto would at least do the research on that sort of thing)
Anyway, Seto’s the biggest guy with the smallest dog
Like when the puppy takes its mid-class snooze, he curls up on Seto’s shoe and he’s half the size of his owner’s foot.
The main issue that they need to work on is separation anxiety; because Seto never really goes anywhere, the poor dog’s expects his owner to be with him all the time. So if Seto needs to go to the toilet and hands someone the leash, the poor puppy is just stood there whining sadly Seto’s back. He’s just too used to having his 6ft4 guardian with him at all times.
Anyhow, Seto’s a weird one to teach because he’s not the world’s best dog trainer - he tends to be quite casual about everything, and he’s not hugely strict so in turn the dog’s quite 50/50 about actually following commands. (Think Seto saying “down”, puppy just staring at him while wagging his tail like mad and not making any move to lie down, until Seto’s like, “fuck it, you’re too cute for your own good” and gives him the treat anyway)
But the thing is, despite this half-hearted attitude to training, Seto knows the theory like it’s no one’s business. The trainer will offer him some advice and Seto’s like “oh, so just using the Premack Principle?” or “so just conditioning more cut-off signals while they’re still sub-threshold?”
Like, yes but how do you know those words? Spend less time reading and more time working your dog please
(And please join me in imagining the trainer telling Seto to call his dog away with kissy sounds or a high-pitched voice, rather than pulling on the leash, and the sheer awkwardness on Seto’s face as he attempts his best baby voice.)
Yamazaki Hiroshi
Thought he wanted a proper working lines dog (some sort of spaniel breed probably) because he read on the internet that they’re healthier and “perfect for [his] active lifestyle” but he didn’t realise how much work a working line dog needs and now he’s come to the puppy class in desperate need of help.
Dark circles under his eyes and his hands are permanently covered in cuts and scars from those sharp little puppy teeth
But despite the wounds, he adores his little dog and his little dog adores him
(Shame they express it by trying to chomp on his poor skin)
Yamazaki’s the guy who’s always absent-mindedly petting his dog even when the trainer tells him not to while working on a certain behaviour
Yamazaki’s also that guy who’s always taking notes after class, always asking questions (comes back every week like “about the biting...”), and he always does his homework, so his dog shows the most improvement by the end of the course
He gets the little graduation certificate and he’s trying to bite back the happy/proud tears (meanwhile the dog’s trying its damnedest to get a hold of the certificate and rip it to shreds)
Furuhashi Kojiro
He’s just a good conscientious owner who did all the research before he bought his puppy, and has been training them from the beginning and figured a puppy class was the right thing to do just in case
(N.B. I have absolutely no idea what kind of dog Furu would want cause, in my mind, he’s normally a cat person. But I’m assuming that a rare and quiet breed that’s not the most clingy would be right up Furu’s alley, so Kishu Ken it is.)
Honestly Furu rocks up to the puppy class and both his and the puppy’s minds are a bit blown: Furuhashi’s because he didn’t realise how little everyone else had trained their puppies, and the puppy’s because it’s gone from being used to life with its quiet owner in a quiet house going on quiet walks to a classroom surrounded by lots of other very excited dogs
But the puppy soon settles, as does Furuhashi, and for the most part, their time at the puppy classes goes quite smoothly
(As it often does if people just do their homework between classes)
The only time they have any issues is in any exercise where Furuhashi has to be a bit more animate
Like an exercise where you make your voice and body language all excited to get the dog riled up so they can learn to calm down as soon as you calm down: Furuhashi’s idea of “getting excited” is one small awkward and a monotone “good puppy”
Meanwhile the puppy’s staring at him like “he’s a bit boring, but he’s my bit boring”
(And on a separate note, Furuhashi definitely ends up bringing his sister to some of classes. She’s still staying with their parents, who won’t let her get a dog, so she’s living vicariously through Furu’s dog ownership. And, Furu being the good big brother that he is, only encourages her interests. So if she wants to be around puppies more, he takes her to the classes. And if she’s getting bored, he hands her his puppy’s leash so that she can do the exercises and get the trainer’s guidance instead of him.)
Hara Kazuya
The dog is Hara’s partner’s/friend’s, but Hara comes along for moral support and to play with the other puppies before the class starts
Actually, you know what, we’ll say this is an older characters AU where Yamazaki and Hara are roommates and he’s come with Zaki and his lunatic spaniel
Hara takes the “class” in “puppy class” seriously, and by that I mean he acts like a class clown as if he’s still in school - he views a successful class as a class where he makes the trainer laugh at least once, and flirts with one of the assistants at least once
Zaki’s probably wondering why he asked Hara to come because now, every time a puppy starts barking, Hara’s whispering in their ear “Hanamiya when someone tells him to be nice”; or a puppy pees all over the floor and then it’s “you after a night out”
Having said that, Hara’s also a great training tool cause puppies love him and he always gets them very over-excited
So, when the homework was working on your puppies not jumping up on people, the trainer gets Hara to be the guinea pig, cause he’s the ultimate test
Haizaki Shougo
Probably only attending the classes because he was court ordered to be there or something after his dog’s already showing dangerous behaviour - Haizaki’s the kind of owner who could screw up a puppy, but he’s also the kind who buys a puppy who’s probably genetically screwed up
He falls for those horrid guard breed puppy ads online (you know the ones - with the pictures of barking dogs Photoshopped into flames or whatever and with the caption like “UNREAL DRIVE!! CRAZY STRUCTURE!! SUPER PROTECTIVE!! buy your bundle of joy from us today, perfect for a first time owner <3)
(In case you don’t know what I mean, think something like this)
Anyway so Haizaki gets a Presa Canario, maybe a bully, or maybe a Tosa Inu cause he’s in Japan and, if anyone in KNB is interested in dog fighting, it’s Haizaki because he’s just not a great person
Haizaki rocks up to classes very reluctantly and could not care less about them
He keeps letting the leash get too long so his puppy keeps getting in the other dog’s faces and upsetting them; he’s on his phone half the time; and he just doesn’t take on board any advice
For example the trainer talks to him about loose leash walking and Haizaki just zones out - cause in his mind, there’s no point putting the effort in to train them when he’s a big guy who can easily hold back even a 40kg dog
So the trainer thinks Haizaki’s pretty much a lost cause, poor dog, etc
But then, one fateful day, when the dog’s barking their head off for the thousandth time, the trainer gives Haizaki a tip and it works!��
And something clicks in Haizaki’s brain and he realises he doesn’t have to put up with his dog being a ‘nuisance’ - he can just put some effort in and train them and make life happier for the both of them
After that things are much smoother sailing and Haizaki actually starts engaging with the class and asking the trainer for advice on the (many) other issues the dog has
It takes a while for Haizaki and the puppy to graduate out of the class, just because of all the damage that needs undoing, but the fact that Haizaki sticks around, even after his court-ordered time is up, is already good news
The dog will never be 100% in certain environments but at least they walk nicely for the most part and knows some commands
And it’s safe to say that, when Haizaki spots the dog trainer a few months later, they’re the first teacher that Haizaki’s ever stopped to say hello to

hi bestie do you take requests for Xavier Thorpe? If u do i have one for you I hope you don’t mind <33 so reader is a siren and she went to the art store to buy a canvas to practice her painting and ends up pumping into Xavier who’s buying paint cause he’s out and he asks her what she’s doing here and stuff so she tells him she’s looking for a canvas and he tells her that he didn’t know she was into arts and stuff so he takes her to pick a canvas size then tells her to go look for white paint because he’s out until he finds her the size she wants but he’s distracting her to go pay for her canvas and when she returns he tells her that he didn’t need white he just wanted to pay for her ( makes sense lol? ) and the next day she buys him art supplies and goes to his shed to thank him and he’s surprised and offers to teach her arts and stuff ( friends to lovers thing but in this they just have a crush on each other )

warnings: none
word count: 0.9k
For as long as you could think there were two constants in your life. Aside from your parents and their support of course. Your passion for art and the way normies stared at you. And since you had gotten into Nevermore those two things had conveniently enough mingled together more than ever. Thanks to the amulet that you had to wear to retain your powers it was plain to see for anyone in Jericho just what you were. As if they wouldn´t know it without. You shake your head and repress the urge to make a snarky comment as some old normie woman stares at you while you make your way through the provincial town to the local art supply store. Despite your passion for art, there was nothing you wanted to be over faster than these trips. If only you would have known who you would meet there you would have chosen to wait another day.
“I didn´t know you were into art.” Comes a voice you know all too well from behind you.
“Xavier, hey…” You are hesitant to turn around and greet him. His break up with Bianca had been messy to say the least and as her friend it was your duty to stick to her. You were shocked and hurt when she had told you the reason for the two of them splitting. You never would have thought he would be capable of saying such things about Sirens. Nonetheless your heart still beats higher when he smiles and waves at you. It always did. No matter how hard you had cursed it for doing so, even during his relationship with Bianca. Still none the wiser about his own heart acting in a similar fashion or the reddening of his cheeks whenever you were around.
“What are you looking for? Maybe I can help you find it.”
“Um… I need a canvas.” You let you’re your fingers play with each other.
“They are right over here. What size do you need?” Xavier asks while leading you to the corner where all the different sized canvases where displayed.
“18x24, preferably.” The tension that has built in your shoulders a minute ago dissipates slowly and you find it easier to talk to him.
Xavier grabs a canvas in the size you named and leads you back towards the cash register. He puts everything down on the counter and sighs, turning to you once more.
“Hey um, it´s kind of embarrassing, but I forgot to grab white paint. Would you mind getting it for me? You´re probably faster than me.”
“Yeah, sure. I´ll be back in a second.” Ou go to grab what he had asked you for, but when you return to the register not even a minute later he is gone.
“Your friend already paid. He´s waiting outside.” The sweet lady behind the counter tells you.
So you make your way outside. The little bell at the door making him turn towards you.
“I could have paid that for myself, you know?” There is a lightness to your tone, though you mean it.
“I know, but I wanted to be nice.” He simply says with that stupid, little signature half-grin of his.
So stupid and handsome. Wait, what? No, just stupid. You shook your head to get rid of those thoughts. They had plagued you ever since Bianca had told you all about them getting together. You knew back then you had to hold back your feelings for him and you know it now.
The two of you make your way back to the school in silence and once you arrive, part ways. Yet no matter how much time passes you can´t shake the guilty conscience. Leading to you going back into town the next day. With the help of the woman from the day before, you assemble a small collection of supplies. Bringing them to his shed where he unsurprisingly already was doing his thing. His unapologetically angsty music gave him away and so without knocking you open the door to find him painting.
“God, this music makes me feel like I am thirteen again, applying heavy eyeliner and posting about some pseudo deep shit on social media.” You make your presence known with a chuckle. The bag with the supplies hidden safely behind your back. Xavier turns around with a surprised look and turns the music off immediately.
“Hey, um, what are you doing here?” He quickly covers his canvas before you stand beside him.
“I got you a present.” You hold out the paper bag to him.
Xaviers eyes go wide as he unpacks the contents. “What? You didn´t need to do that…”
“I know, but I wanted to be nice.” You repeat his words from a day earlier with a mischievous smirk. “No, in all honesty I felt bad that you paid for my canvas and these are things that I thought you could always need. So, yeah, you know.”
You look at your feet, as heat once again spreads over your face.
“Well, thank you.” There is that half-smile again. “But now I feel bad, that must have cost a lot of money for you.”
Oh, no. It isn´t worth mentioning, really.” You insist.
“No, please. The least I could do to thank you is to buy you a coffee or give you an art lesson or something” He says.
“An art lesson from Nevermore´s resident tortured artist? How could I say no to that.” You chuckle.
“Meet me here tomorrow, after lunch. Is that alright with you?” Xavier laughs as well.
“It´s a date.” You say excitedly and this time you catch the reddening of his cheeks. Though you say goodbye and force yourself not to think about it too much as you make your way back to your dorm. You didn´t want to get your hopes up just yet.

stop encouraging your followers to have kids it’s fucking selfish. the world is shit we shouldn’t be bringing children into this it’s killing the environment. I’m sick of this breeders promoting family life when people can’t even afford to buy homes anymore. it’s irresponsible of you to tell women they should have kids.
quit it with the dramatics. there’s always war and disaster happening it’s not something new. if people stopped having children during the dark ages cause it was “selfish” you wouldn’t be here right now. Y’all really want to act like we have it worse today than any other time.
It’s the same thing as people bitching about recycling and plastic straws when we really should be flaming the billionaires with their private planes and the big corporations ruining the environment.
what have you done to make this planet a better place? besides spreading negativity and trying to discourage people from having kids? (I’m only going this hard cause you’ve left SEVERAL hateful asks that I can see but I won’t address) you’re not saving this world by not having a child, or maybe you are cause there will be one less person like you but the point is that you need to open your eyes and think for yourself. the people telling you to not have kids cause “tHe wOrLD is bAd 🤯” don’t even adhere to those principles themselves. they just don’t want us normies to procreate but it’s fine if they do? they really got us believing we need to be multimillionaires to be allowed to procreate when procreation is most natural instinct for all species.
I see it like this. when you bring children to this world you create your own village, your own tribe and what matters is how much you love them and what you teach them. we need our own villages and communities more than ever today. these money hungry billionaires aren’t going to convince me that what’s truly going to make me happy is having all this free time to sit on TikTok and social media for the rest of my life with a crippling online shopping addiction to fill the void of not having a family.
of course I don’t think you should have kids if your facing homelessness or fighting a drug addiction but jeez we don’t need to be making 6848 million dollar annually to be allowed to bring children into this world.
also be so fr right now. the fact that you called me a breeder just proves that you don’t give af about kids and their well-being. it’s on thing to be child free but you anti family weirdos don’t give a shit about the environment or the kids born to irresponsible parents. y’all have deeper issues that y’all project on us instead of working them out. y’all just use the faux concern as a reason to be disagreeable. that’s all it is. cause why else do these child free people feel the need to have whole communities dedicated to hating on literal kids? why else do I see at least 5 videos a day of people like you feeling the need to prove something to us on TikTok, literally I just opened TikTok today and there was a woman making the most condescending video on the being like “lOok aT mE I dOnT hAvE KiDs” “I have so much free time to do “insert pretentious hobby” look at me I can drink during the day cause I don’t have kids. Look at me!!!!!! okay and? so drink your margarita then? it’s like y’all live to brag and perform. Just do your hobbies and drink your wine and leave us alone. but the thing is we don’t give af cause we are busy living our own lives but y’all are just waiting every day for us to look at y’all and regret our families and children? Like if you’re so happy in your child free lives then why do you need our validation so bad?

The Devil's Gift
Another fanfiction of mine- This one is for another fandom I'm into- Obey Me!
It is fair to say that Levi was a bit over-stimulated by the buzzing activity surrounding the Christmas market in the human world. His aquarium room would have been better than being around normies. Especially around human normies. Despite that, he couldn't say no to his boyfriend. At every convention and special event he wanted to attend, he was always there to support him and he felt awful that he never got the chance to go on the program that Ritsu wanted to go to. Surely one day among human beings couldn't cause any problems, could it?
While Leviathan was walking through the crowd, attempting to avoid any eye contact with anyone else, he was cursing himself in his mind until he saw two silhouettes that looked familiar to him.
“ Beel? Risa?”
The two of them turned toward Levi.
“ Ah! Levi-kun!” Risa happily greeted Leviathan with a bright smile. Beel just hummed and nodded with his usual emotionless expression. Also his mouth was full of a crepe hanging out of it.
“ Really Beel, even here you cannot control your hunger?” Leviathan sighed with annoyance in his voice. His brother swallowed the bite he was chewing on.
“ Can’t help it. They are really tasty.”
“ But they are super expensive! If Lucifer learns you spend so much money on food again-”
“ Don’t worry! I came prepared! “ Risa turns around showing off a cute backpack that seems to burst at any moment. “ I made some food back at home so we don’t spend too much money on food." Levi thought sometimes Risa was more of a personal chef for Beel rather than his girlfriend.
“ Don’t you think you spoil him too much Risa?”
“ Says the one who is spoiled by my brother all the time. And rather enjoy it.”
Levi’s face felt like going up in flames.
“ Hey! It’s him who gets those things for me! I never asked for them!”
“ Riiiight…” Risa’s “ I don’t think so” face just flustered the poor demon further.
“ Cut it out!”
“ Sorry, sorry.” The girl chuckled a bit before turning toward her boyfriend. “ Hey Beel, how are you? Huh? Beel?”
The two of them looked around to see that the tall demon wasn’t there anymore.
“ As much of a giant he is, he is surprisingly stealthy.” Levi said as he looked around for his brother. Until they saw him approaching them with a bit of terrifying speed. Beel suddenly stopped in front of Risa, holding something small in his hands (but to be honest, what doesn’t look small in his hands?).
“ Risa! Look what I got! “ He seemed really excited based on the tone of his voice. Levi and Risa looked at it. The girl let out a happy gasp.
“ You found one! “ It was a small music box that had a special key, a medallion of a necklace.” Oh Beel…”
“ I remember you said as a kid you wanted a music box like this and when I noticed it I just knew I had to buy it.”
Risa quickly wrapped her arms around her boyfriend’s neck who returned the hug with one arm and stood up this way lifting her up from the ground.
“ Thank you! I love you so much, Beel!”
“I love you too honey.”
“ Ugh- Gonna be sick.” Levi obviously was never a big fan of PDA. Sadly fate had it differently for him.
“ Leviiii!” A cheerful male voice standing out from the crowd’s many voices followed by quick steps made Leviathan freeze for a second. Suddenly from behind another body slammed against his, two long arms wrapping around him. “ Found you!”
“ Hey Ritsu.” Beel greeted the other exchange student before he went back to munching some new desserts.
“ Oh hey you two! On a date as well?” The young man asked
“ Of course! It was easy to get Beel to come to the human realm with all the food I mentioned.”
“ Why I am not surprised?" Ritsu just rolled his eyes” Anyway- Me and Levi have to go now- Take care, you two!”
“ Huh? What are you-"
But before poor Levi could say anything else he was dragged away from the market leaving the other two behind, disappearing into the crowd around them.
After a few minutes of walking they finally stopped. Ritsu let go of his boyfriend’s hand.
“ Okay, this should be good.”
“ Wha-Where- Why did you drag me here huh?!” Leviathan was gasping for air for a few seconds before looking at Ritsu with a red face - from the cold air and also from the anger that was boiling in his blood.
“ Sorry babe, I just knew I had to get you out of there.” His hands now were behind his back as he turned towards him.
“ What are you hiding?” Levi leaned to the side to see what his boyfriend was holding.
“ Ah-Ah-Ah! No peeking!” Ritsu stepped a bit away from him with a sly smile on his face.” Close your eyes.”
“ Ritsu-”
“ Pretty please?”
“...Fine.” Levi shut his eyes, his body tensed up and waited. His stomach felt like it was being tied into a knot as he could sense Ritsu walking close to him.
“ Okay. You can open them now.”
Levi slowly opened one of his eyes but quickly opened the other in awe as he saw what Ritsu was holding.
“ I-Is that- a Ruri-chan plushie?!”
“ Yepp- I made myself!”
Levi quickly grabbed it out of the other men’s hands and began to nuzzle his face into it.
“ This is amazing!” He suddenly stopped and looked at Ritsu with a sort of guilty look. " Why are you so nice to me? I’m just a yucky otaku…”
“ Uh- Because you are my boyfriend? The best ever boyfriend in all of the three realms?”
Levi’s face started to get even more red and his eyes were teary.
“ Oh cut it-”
“ Nope.” He let out a chuckle. “ Hey, gently push it like this and then-”
“ Levi-kun is the best! ” Suddenly the doll spoke with Ruri-chan's voice.
“ Wait, is that her voice? “He pushed the doll.
“ Thank you for being my number 1 fan Levi-kun!”
He was about to explode right here and there. Ritsu just laughed at the scene however.
“ I met the voice actress and asked for a few favors.”
"Please tell me you didn’t blackmail anyone this time.”
“ Pff- Me? Oh my sweet sea serpent, would I ever?”
“ Yes.”
“ Okay fine, but I promise I didn’t do such a thing. THIS time.”
Levi just sigh defeatedly while Ritsu chuckled again but then his expression changed into a more serious one, more like he felt awkward now. He took a deep breath before he began to speak again.
“ Levi. I have one more gift for you.”
“ Huh?”
Ritsu looked down in front of him, taking another breath and looked seriously into Levi’s eyes who yelped a bit at this.
“ Levi…I know I can be a bit too much for your taste. And I'm sorry for that. But I just cannot help but be proud and shout to the world how amazing you are. I found your dedication and your passion so contagious. Seeing how you enjoy what you do...of being yourself. I envy you for it. I’m still not sure who I am. I was used to playing this facade for so long I don’t know if it was really me anymore. So when you agreed to be my boyfriend back then I felt like the luckiest man ever. And thank you for accepting me for who I am."
“ Ritsu…”
“ So. I know I can come across as pushy and fast but there are things, feelings I cannot control and I have to say them so-” And with that he went down on one knee in front of Levi, taking out a small box and opening it. Inside was a silver ring with a coral gemstone on it. “ I know you call me your Player 2 a lot of times so…Leviathan, will you be my Player 1 forever?”
Levi was on the brink of falling unconscious. His head felt heavy, his vision got blurry and his heart raced in his ribcage.
“ Wha- What are you doing? This is not funny- This is some awful normie prank!”
“ This is not a joke Levi!” Ritsu’s expression didn’t change that much but his determination was obvious. Levi still couldn’t wrap his mind around it.
“ Why- Why are you like this-” Levi continued through his sobbing “ Why are you so nice? I’m just a good for nothing shut in. Why do you want ME of all people as your partner?”
“ Because I feel safe around you. I don’t have to pretend around you. You like me for who I am. That’s all I ever asked for a partner. Someone who accepts me and I would accept them with everything they come with, the good and the bad. And also because…I love you Levi.”
Levi’s tears wouldn’t stop. They covered his red face more and more, irritating his skin even more. Ritsu stood up and cupped Levi’s face into his hands pulling him closer so their foreheads would touch. He didn’t say anything else, just let Levi process all that had happened.
When he finally calmed down enough to speak Levi looked up into Ritsu’s eyes. Vast blue and deep like the ocean. Ritsu looked back into his eyes. For him, Levi's eyes were like the twilight sky.
“ You…You read too much of those crappy romance mangas.”
“ Heh. But they seem to do the trick, don't they? “
Levi whined before looking away pouting.
“ Well, are you gonna put that ring on or do I have to?”
“ Wait- You mean?”
“ Y-Yeah…I love you too.”
Ritsu’s eyes also got teary from this. He wiped some of his own tears before putting the ring on Levi’s finger.
“ Thank you Levi. Thank you so much. I love you.”
“Okay okay, just stop it…” He leaned against his chest burying his face in his jacket. “... Stupid Player 2”
“ Thank you my sweet sea serpent. Happy Devil Day.”

Wednesday (2022 Netflix show) is a weird little thing. I really love it, I am hoping we'll get a second season sooner rather than later, and I can strongly recommend it. But at the same time, there are also things that I feel just don't work. And I think a lot of that can be boiled down to:
It's a good show, but it's not a great Addams Family adaptation.
To a certain extent, that's unavoidable, as it is tonally completely different. The Addams Family is, at its core, not horror. It just looks like it, and that's where the humour comes from.
On the other hand, Wednesday (2022 Netflix show) has strong horror elements. There's a monster in the woods, and it's out to get you, it might kill you, and Wednesday (girl) considers this to be a problem, instead of trying to befriend it.
As a result of that, the relationships have shifted. It doesn't make sense for Wednesday (1964 series and 1991 and 1993 movies version) to have beef with her family and to want to get out from the shadow of her mother. That's never the relationship they had, and I'm not sure how they'd get here. They changed it, and that makes it feel weird.
The whole world is also fundamentally un-Addams like. I'm not just talking about how they took the labels "normie" and "outcast" and turned them into different species, basically, but also attitudes. Gomez is accused of murder, and… that's a problem, somehow? He didn't want to kill the guy? That's #notmygomez.
The weird thing is that this actually works for the show, except for having the Gomez and Morticia labels applied to these very different characters. The inverse of that is that the show generally gets better if it lets itself breathe, and is just about Wednesday, Thing (love Thing!) and the new characters. It's not a revelation or anything, and I genuinely think Stranger Things season 1 was better, but it is still good, and Wednesday herself picks up a lot of the slack.
But there is a particular way in which this whole thing rears its head, and that's a problem that I like to call, "Wednesday is just saying shit".
In the '90s movies, it is a running gag that Wednesday will say things that are overly educated, highly morbid, and usually both. She talks about taxidermy, execution methods, funerals and so on non-stop, and that's a thing they copied to the new show. But in the original approach, it was usually either not the focus, or backed up by something.
Wednesday really did try to kill Pugsley, several times, in a highly comedic fashion. And when the second movie did "Wednesday against the Pilgrims", something they seem to have been inspired by here, she genuinely went for it, tying people up, causing property damage, and setting things on fire.
Her weird statements were believable in the reality of the old movies. I totally buy that she researched the best methods to kill kittens in her spare time, and that just happened off-camera.
In the Netflix show, we don't get any moments like that. She only attempts murder once, in the pilot, and her parents treat that as if it were suddenly a problem. In the school, she consistently makes morbid remarks and issues threats, but they're all just empty. She promises to nailgun Ajax's heart if he breaks Enid's heart, but when he does, she doesn't even attempt to go through with the threat (as far as we know, that's a good fanfic opportunity right there).
In the movies, Wednesday is genuinely creepy in a comedic way, because the threat of comedic violence is always there, and we see her attempt to deliver on it. In the Netflix show, Wednesday is just saying shit.
Again, I think it's unavoidable to an extent. It would be highly consistent with Wednesday's stated character to build a secret guillotine to behead Enid in her sleep, or at least scare her out of the dorm immediately. But that doesn't work if Wednesday/Enid is going to be the emotional core of the show, and I do genuinely like their relationship.
At the end of the day, this show isn't an Addams Family show, it just looks like one, and the mismatch caused by that can be a bit jarring at times. But it is a good show in its own right.

I’m reading posts of nctzens suggesting that all WayV have left after the long hiatus is the core nct fanbase supporting them bc they’re a part of the brand, but I feel like international nct fans—esp those focused on the Korean units—don’t understand how wayv’s association with the main brand can be as detrimental for them in certain contexts as advantageous as it is for them in others?
Like there’s a reason why they were sorta separated to begin with that goes beyond high-level policies (like the hallyu “ban”)….In wayv’s supposed target market, for every mando kpop/nct fan down to now also stan this subunit that mostly sings in their language, there’s gunna also be another potential fan passing by that’s turned off by this very connection (maybe not rightfully so—there’s probably some xenophobia or weird nationalism mixed in there too tbh) or has seen enough of SJ-M or Exo-M to feel like giving support at all is a lost cause, because who wants to invest in a group that’s divided between markets and seems poised to always get the short end of the stick? So the pitch for stanning WayV in Chinese layperson spaces there has largely been to present Label V as a separate, proper taxpaying Chinese company nevermind that they have like 5 staff members on paper and their office in the mainland is literally empty. Mentioning NCT can get confusing, or just plain sour the deal rather than sweeten it. Like you’re scaring the normies away!! And you can’t afford doing that when other, xenophobic normies have already been scared off to the extent that they’re forced to perform English versions of songs to ward off sinophobic backlash.
No matter their background, anyone fond of the SM or NCT connection has probably already decided whether or not they’re here in the long-run to stay for WayV. And yeah, having the baseline support that’s offered by that demographic withdrawn would hurt at such an uncertain point in the group’s run, but it’s sorta…overestimating your own impact to assume that such a loss couldn’t be matched by a recuperative net gain of new fans from the overall lucrative, larger Chinese market? As in, new fans that are here for this specific group or specific members, rather than as an add-on to the pre-existing units wherein WayV-specific support is usually v conditional, built on reciprocal goodwill, and second to their fav unit’s priorities (like “sure I’ll buy their new album because Taro shared it,” or “I’ll only support them if they don’t take others’ resources or pose any threat to surpassing others’ charts or records”) Atp, to grow, they’d either have to reroute which market they’re targeting, OR seize the chances they currently have in the Chinese market with the opportune shutdown of domestic survival shows (what with the remaining Produce-type groups about to disband), the country reopening post-COVID, the hallyu ban supposedly loosening, and the momentum that individual members like Ten and Winwin have built with solo activities there. In comparison, brand-related support only goes so far, so there’s no use in prioritizing the pleasing of brand fans.

I hope you don't mind me reblogging this but I figure it could be helpful for others looking into this. Putting it under a cut cause longish
You should absolutely have your own site but alongside another storefront with a marketplace so you can be found easily. IDK where you live but if you're shipping within the EU/UK etsy will take care of the tariff fees/taxes for you. I personally have my main website shop and then direct all EU/UK customers to my etsy. My pricing differs between my main shop and etsy with etsy being higher to cover fees. You cannot directly point customers to your main shop through etsy but you can let them know if they purchase through your website they can save money.
Pros of having your own shop:
More long term profits
Custom branding
Super easy to set up if you're using one of the e-commerce platforms available
Not dependent on any other platform if you're managing hosting yourself
Cons:
More initial upfront cost
More initial work with set up
More dependent on self promotion because it lacks a market place
You have to worry about legal things (like taxes) yourself
Some people will still prefer things like etsy because it's a trusted platform backed up by a Corporation and not just a Guy
Recommendations:
BigCartel - a free account lets you list 5 products, but watch out! There's no stuck management feature with a free account so you need to keep an eye on your sales. Additional pricing plans are available. Really easy to use tbh.
Square (Formerly Weebly) - You can create a website first without having to pay but adding a shop cost money. Really easy, all run through Square so payment is easy.
Shopify - It's like Square but you're not married to their proprietary credit acceptance fees cause I believe they take authorize.net as well. Which also comes with a fee idk which is cheaper.
Note: There are always fees involved with credit payment processing. You can compare Square vs. Shopify if you want but there is always a payment processing fee if you accept credit cards. There's also hosting fees with all of these but it's honestly pretty negligible depending on your profit. Again, cheaper in the long run if you're making sales.
Etsy unfortunately has the best market place to fees ratio as in people can find you on the marketplace fairly easily (seo depending) vs. the fees of people buying from you. People are familiar with the market place and it's search function so it's really easy to be found by someone just casually browsing for Thing.
Storenvy has a similar marketplace set up but it's not as well known and the fees differ between buying directly through your marketplace vs. your main storefront. Meaning Storenvy takes a bigger (than etsy) cut if people buy from the marketplace store front but if people buy from your custom storefront the fees are cheaper than etsy. There's no way to change the pricing depending on which storefront people view from last time I checked so if you do use Storenvy it's best to price based off the higher fee. I also don't know if they handle the taxes/tariffs involved with UK/EU shipping.
Ko-Fi has a marketplace feature now but I haven't looked into it much! It may be worth giving it a try? It suffers from the similar 'marketplace is not as well known' problem but if the fees are better it maybe a good option? I also don't know if they handle the taxes/tariffs involved with UK/EU shipping.
EBay. Yes. you heard me. EBay. I don't know how the current fees compare to etsy and if you're selling handmade it's maybe not what most people on ebay are looking for but there is a market for it on there. If you're not selling fandom stuff there's actually a pretty decent 'normie' market and it's a platform people trust so you can make decent sales!
All of my mutuals who create and sell physical goods, I have a question for you!! What sites do you recommend for selling stuff besides Etsy? I've been thinking of selling pre-made embroidered pieces, buttt ive heard of the more popular sites taking a big cut of creators' earnings and I don't really know where else to go :'•) Alternatively, do you guys think it'd be better for me to make my own website? Any help is super appreciated, love y'all!!
#the wonderful world of nina#i've been doing ecomerce work for over a decade for both myself and the company i work for#i've been on nearly every platform at lease once#i'm tired but here are the froots of my labor

I always love reading about our boys and their crazy fashion, so how about some hcs about how our boys (bros or dateables you decide) came up with their suits? (from the event) like a shopping montage, or arguing about who gets to wear which jacket like typical sibling fight (and who in the name of the not so good lord told diavolo to wear that hat) make it as funny and ridiculous as you want
YESH! The boys being stereotypical siblings is my serotonin!
———————
(*everyone is sitting in the living room for a family meeting*)
Lucifer: Alright everyone. We will be taking a family trip to the mall in order to shop for nice outfits.
Asmo and Mammon: *excited squealing*
Lucifer: I’m telling you all this in advance, because I want you all to be on your best behaviour.
Satan: Oh dear older brother, when are we not on our best behaviour?
Lucifer: Remember when I beat Mammon’s ass in the middle of the Gucci store for trying to steal and causing a scene?
Satan: …yes. And I’m sure the sales associates also remember that in their nightmares.
Beel: *raises hand*
Lucifer: Yes, we can buy lunch at the food court.
Beel: *lowers hand*
———————
(*at the mall*)
Lucifer: Meet in front of the Apple Store in three hours. I swear if security contacts me to say any of you were causing problems I will make you clean the HOL’s bathrooms with your toothbrushes.
The Little Brothers: Yes Lucifer…

(*Shopping for suit jackets*)
Mammon: Oh this one’s perfect-
Leviathan: I love this one-
Mammon and Levi: …
Mammon: Levi. Get your mitts off the jacket.
Leviathan: >:( n-no! I’m being assertive! Get your normie mitts off the jacket!
Mammon: Don’t make me start a fight, Levi.
Leviathan: …
Leviathan: *grabs Mammon’s wallet and YEETS it* SUPER LEVIATHAN THROW!
Mammon: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

Asmodeus: Oh Satan, for once, just once let me style you so you don’t look like a Thrift Store threw up on you 🥺
Satan: *sigh* Asmo I don’t need your fashion assistance. I’m a grown demon.
Asmodeus: You… you so do… look at you…
Satan: That’s it, I’m leaving. I’m going to Indigo.
Asmodeus: Satan come back! At least let me pick your shoes!
