Self-aware! Obey Me x Gn! Insomniac! Reader
OMG IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I LAST WROTE SMTH WHATRR?!!! And its first time writing for a fandom that's not Genshin under the sagau tag-
『Beloved fluffball/s mentioned below! 💜』
@rotin0 @cherry-blossom-sword80 @leniisreallycool @mc-cos-charm @imtotallynotthere @cosmo112 @cheeseburgercasserole
Credits to cafekitsune for the dividers! (I needed these omfg)
Warnings: Mentions of injuries, reader has a nightmare, cursing, ooc because... hm...., I don't know either, written in bullet form, I don't know this is so messy 🙏
• Alright, so where the fuck should I begin with this???
• You maybe fell for them, but they fell even harder— so much harder than their bones are brok— oh wait you mean THAT kind of falling??
• Anyways
• After you FINALLY saved enough money to buy a new phone you stepped on it when you were half asleep
• Ouch.
• You still had to bandage your foot because of the wounds it inflicted on your foot.
• And one time you were resting your foot; you found a certain Otome game...
• Duh bitch of course it was Obey Me! as if it wasn't obvious enough by the title
• You decided to download obey me because:
1. Your best friend forced you to.
2. You were bored.
3. You wanted to cure yourself from boredom after you wake up at 3 in the morning—
• Even though you had to delete a 'few' apps and things from your gallery...
• You think it was worth it! :D
• Because goddamn these guys in the cards look so ngh— excluding luke for obvious reasons.
• You look at them, yes.
• But bitch you dont know that THEY look at you too!
• At first, when they found out they were stuck in a game, they took a while in accepting things, that the human exchange student is- well, some sort of... coded sheep acting all plastic looking thing...?
• Like, what or who made them? Why? And when??? Why did they make them suffer like this??? Why make Lilith die and make Beel drown away in his guilt for god knows how long? and most importantly, what or who is playing??
• Well, until they've gotten access to your phone's camera— you can literally see their pupils form into hearts when stare into their eyes for so long! Except for Luke, they only sparkle more
• The sheep (aka the you in-game) was just... eugh.
• You know those occasional surprise guest sessions after those dance battles???
• Basically, the maximum amount of gifts you can get from surprise guests in a day is 6, and that you have to achieve a perfect sequence and stuff (Basically on all three actions that you do to them)
• ...Bro, they broke out of the coding that makes them give only 6 gifts to you a day and all of a sudden—
• HOLY SHIT??? 10K GRIMM IN ONE GIFT FROM BARBATOS???WHAT–?!
• You know they'll give you only 1k Grimm (it depends if they'll give you Grimm or the gift or nah)
• So— Bitch I'm not finished yet!
• Bro not only that, you also noticed that, as you were playing the game and progressed through the lessons smoothly.
• You could've sworn that the dance battles before were more difficult than now,
• Like bitch, who the fuck was responsible for buffing these mfs up?? 😭🙏
• You thought that Satan hated it when you touched him
• So why the fuck were you getting heart reactions from him when you accidentally tapped his head once when your phone fell on your head?!
• And the voicelines...
• Holy shit the voicelines...
• if you EVER have Asmo as the person— or demon in this case— that'll show up on your D.D.D screen, and if you're playing somewhere around 12am-3am...
• ...😰🙏
• Man's practically gonna lecture you about how lack of sleep can damage your skin
• AND YOU CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT
"What the hell are you doing at 12am?! Aren't humans supposed to sleep at this time?!"
• The demon exclaimed with wide eyes and a pout on his lips. Im imagining it and its so funny lmfao.
"WHAT THE FU—"
• ...Yeah you didn't play for a few days after that.
• Did Asmo scare you too much??
• My hands smell like soy sauce what the fuck.
• That's not the only reason, but school was being bitch and decided to throw exams, assignments, projects, and more to your sleepless self! :D
• Also because you desperately needed to fix up your sleep schedule and you needed to buy sleeping pills for your deprived ass, but they didn't need to know about that now, do they????
• And since you read a lot— no, actually... too many fanfics for game characters being self-aware...
• You suspected that they're now apparently... self-aware!
• You know how you always have to play obey me in landscape on your phone??
• Cuz' what I'm trying to say here is that they can basically see your pretty face through your camera, but only occasionally.
• Yk why??
• Cuz you usually keep on covering the damn camera on your phone :( aka the front camera on the top on your phone whenever you're in story mode, dance battles, devilgram posts or whatever you called it, and pretty much the entire time you play Obey Me.
• But they don't have the heart to say it out loud to you! :<
• But hearing your laughs whenever your eyes bear witness to the brother's banter or your hymns of praises directed towards them whenever you win another dance battle is enough for them to be content with the time they spend with you.
• But it doesn't mean that they don't want more.
• How could they NOT want more?
• They want every. single. ounce. of your. attention.
• But yet...
• Your so close to them. Yet so far away.
• You tossed and turned in your sleep, cold sweat dripping off your forehead as your nightmare got the hold of yourself.
• Tears welled up in your closed eyes as you subconsiously muttered out incomprehensible gibberish in your sleep.
SON OF A BITCH?!
• You exclaimed as you immediately sat up in bed and shaked the thick covers of your blanket as if you would pass out from a heatstroke if it covered your seemingly traumatized form any second longer.
• You went out of your room to get some water to calm your tears down a little.
• After staying in the dining room for maybe... the past 30 minutes or so, you finally went back to your safe haven; your room of course!
• You lay down in bed; exhausted yet not tired enough to lull yourself back to sleep.
• And so, with dark circles and dried tears on your face, you decided to open your phone and play the only game you have in your full-storaged device; Obey Me! :D
• You waited for the game to finish loading with half-lidded eyes. Damn the wifi for being shitty this... midnight?
UGH FINALLY...
• You exclaimed loudly in your bed.
• 2:04am. The D.D.D showed you. Wait how long were you awake again???
• Idk if you have Mammon as the demon that pops up in your D.D.D, but here you go-
• Did I make him ooc? 😰
Oi, human! I heard ya cryin' earlier. Ya ok?!
• THERES NO YELLOW FOR THE TEXT COLOR WHAY?!
• The white-haired demon exclaimed with a frown. Oh shit, that's one way to assure yourself that they're self-aware. But you didn't they can hear you too, so what—
The fuck? I didn't know they can hear me too... 😭🙏
• You murmured out. Yep. Mammon heard that.
Oh shit! Does this mean that they heard me scream at a cockroach while I was playing before?! 😰
• ...He heard that too.
What? -Mammon
OMFG IM DONE GUYS! IM DONE! Sorry it took me forever though 😭🙏

Arc 6: Tangle, Concluding Thoughts
Lotta emotional highs and lows to get through here, so let's not dawdle
Okay, from the top now
Brian Laborn is actively evading all of my attempts to understand him. I will discover what makes him tick no matter how long it takes, and I will know whether the furniture building was meant to be a date or not
Speaking of which, my God 6.3 was fucking awkward. Some of that I'm certain was intentional, and good job at that, but holy shit I was actually uncomfortable with the way Aisha is described on her first appearance. Like I guess that can be chalked up to Taylor being awkward and mean but I'm gonna be real, I'm eyeing Wildbow on this one, if there's ever a fucking Worm Revised Edition that had better be on the rewrite block
Uhhhhh, lessee, what n-ahh. The gallery job.
I'm torn on this one, honestly. The build-up was solid, the entrance was delightful, and in the moment-to-moment stuff the fights were fun, but... the Undersiders went in with like half the Protectorate's numbers, and then proceeded to fight a wholeass PRT squad and then every hero there, and beat almost all of them. The Wards didn't do jack shit before being taken out, Assault and Battery got one cool team move and then were dusted, Triumph got downed by a dog, Velocity... Velocity found out a critical flaw in what gets sacrificed in the name of full power efficiency.
Someone on Discord pointed out that Miss Militia using the machete against Regent was actually a good way to discourage him from making her arms move, which is honestly smarter than I initially gave her credit for, but she still wound up puking inside her own costume so it's not like she's coming away from this smelling like roses.
Armsmaster and Dauntless are the only heroes who come out of 6.5 to 6.7 not looking like complete chumps, and Dauntless doesn't have a whole lot of personality on display so he barely counts as a character.
Overall it feels like the Protectorate heroes lost a lot of their bite with this entire sequence. The Undersiders are getaway specialists, thieves who don't pick fights unless they're sure they can win, and they just challenged like one of the highest-rated heroes in the Protectorate and his entire squad and came out of it in one piece. I'll grant that between the ambush conditions and the functionally unmatched battlefield control provided by Grue and Skitter that they tilted multiple factors in their favor, but that still doesn't feel all the way sufficient.
It should've been a lot closer, I think, and in some places it was already pretty close.
I hate Coil's entire vibe so much, I hate hate hate this dude. Smug motherfucker with his choreographed limo rides and coin tricks and shit. I'm gonna have to put up with this for a while, I can fucking feel it, goddamn him.
Somewhat relatedly, Tattletale... I don't like her less but I'm keeping a closer eye on what she says and does. If she's actually vibing with Coil and not just working with him as a matter of opportunism then that. Doesn't reflect great on her.
Hebert family continuing to break my fucking heart. I swear to god these two are gonna take fucking forever to mend the rift between them, and it's gonna involve at least a half-dozen more near-death experiences, goddammit
Edit: fuck me forgot the interlude
Birdcage scares the shit out of me, I think what makes Dragon’s role as architect and warden even worse is that she clearly takes no joy from the act.
Bakuda died as she lived, with bombast and sudden, violent cruelty.
Ahh, fuck, what even is supposed to be next in the story. Leviathan is close, right? I don't know if he's showing up the very next thing but I've been wrong before. God I hope there's, like, a second to breathe before an Endbringer rolls up.

And when I come in quick to steal a kiss,it’ll only cut your lips,my dear
“Thank you for your help,Hirotsu.”
“I don’t know what you’re referring to,Dazai.I simply told Higuchi about what you intended for the weretiger to do.”
“Yes,but you knew she’d undoubtedly tell Akutagawa about it,causing him and Atsushi to team up.”
Hirotsu gave a curt nod.Dazai leaned back,starring up at the gallery ceiling.
“I admit,I was concerned for a second there when the signal cut out.But they scraped by quite nicely.”
“Mhh.Dazai,if I may ask…Why put them together?Your two protégés,of all people?”
Dazai smiled,turning to look at the old man again.
“Simple.To make a new Double Black.”
Rarely had Hirotsu ever seemed shocked,so the expression that followed was a pleasant surprise.His lips were parted,eyes wide.
He composed himself quickly though and took one of his cigarette’s,lighting it as elegantly as he always had.He took a long drag,allowing Dazai to continue on in the silence.
“They balance one another out well.Offense and defense,but their abilities are far more versatile than either mine or Chuuya’s were.That’ll make them stronger than we were back in the day.”
Tossing his cigarette into a nearby trash can with shocking precision,Hirotsu crossed his arms,expression vaguely worried.
“Is there a reason you enacted this now of all times?”
“…Something big is coming,Hirotsu.Big and terrible and I want them to be ready for it.For Yokohama to be ready.”
He didn’t know what that anemic rat was up to but whatever it was,Dazai wasn’t gonna be caught unawares or unprepared.
Luckily,with his and Ranpo’s smarts combined,likelihood was they’d know the details of the whole thing soon enough.
“If that thing you’re referring to is the demon of the North,I’ll be happy to inform you that you and our boss are refreshingly on the same page regarding that topic.”
Chuuya was still…He supposed he should’ve assumed.Hirotsu was a well composed man,but not enough to be completely stoic in the face of something like Chuuya’s death.
Dazai was already surprised so all he had to do now was fake relief,which came easily enough.
“Glad to hear he’s well.I was worried since he seemed to hang up so suddenly during our last conversation.”
“Well is a stretch.Ace tried to kill him.”
“Oh.”
Dazai paused for a moment,humming in acknowledgement before shrugging oh so casually.
“He has always hated Chuuya,so can’t say I’m too surprised.Or surprised at all.What method did he try?Poison,knife,choking Chuuya with his own two hands?”
“Gun,actually.”
Dazai snorted,smoothly covering up his annoyance at Ace’s incompetence.That was one of the most basic things to know about Chuuya.Bullets don’t do shit to him!How hard was it to remember something like that!?
“Idiot.Anyone with two brain cells to rub together would know better.”
Hirotsu lit another cigarette and sat himself down next to Dazai.
“Then maybe you should’ve hired somebody more competent.”
Dazai blinked.
“What?”
“He said you were the one who put him up to it.”
“And you believe him,do you?”
“It’s less my trust in him and more my knowledge of you.”
“And what knowledge would that be?”
“Of your pettiness,your rashness,your desperate need to beat and best Chuuya since the day you met…Need I go on?”
Ok,then…Well,that’s unfortunate.Dazai leaned back,narrowing his eyes at the man.
“So you know.Alright then,are you going to kill me here or just wait for a more convenient time?Because either way,it won’t turn out well for your organization once the Agency finds my corpse.”
“I’m not going to kill you,Dazai,I’m merely here to warn you.”
Dazai scoffed.
“A threat?Hardly much better,but I’ll take it.”
“Repeat this and the entire mafia will be on your back.We will find a way to explain it away to the ADA so you won’t even have them to avenge you.”
“Big talk.Wonder if you lot will be able to back it up.”
They glared at one another for a moment,Hirotsu putting out his cigarette right next to Dazai’s hand.
“Don’t make us do so.”
Dazai considered biting back again,but thought better of it,moving his hand away.
“May I ask something?”Hirotsu asked
“…Do I have a choice?”
“Why do this,Dazai?To Chuuya of all people?What did he do to you to deserve it?”
Dazai blinked at him,genuinely taken aback.
“…Some people just aren’t cut out for certain things,Hirotsu.I,for example,would be a terrible life coach.Chuuya,with his impulsiveness and short fuse would be a terrible leader.”
“So you attempt to kill him?”
“Unfortunately he’s too stubborn to remove himself peacefully.”
“Is that all?”
No.Not even close.There were so many small things…That affair with Ousei,the freeing of Q as soon as he became boss almost as if to spit straight into Dazai’s face,the fact Dazai was nothing more than insurance in their fight with Lovecraft…
But in the grand scheme…
“He chose to sit where his father did.And I chose what to do about it.”
“And will you choose to make that mistake again?”
However many times it takes to kill Chuuya.
“No,I’d have to be an idiot to keep trying an already failed plan.”

SLAY THE PRINCESS Voice + Narrator Designs
sorry they arent all 'complete' sort of. I was struggling and it was starting to feel like i would never finish at all and that the slay the princess interest may slip from my grasp altogether and i wanted to finish these before doing other slay the princess drawings and !! anyways yeah these are mostly to get an Idea of how the guys look, there may be potential changes in future but for the most part these are the guys !! design notes under the read more teehee.
beaks are so hard to draw but im trying smh
SLAY THE PRINCESS DESIGN NOTES:
ok first of all. maybe sometimes i will feel like drawing wings instead of hands, okay? teehee. all in good fun. these are all how its Supposed to be, generally, but i can bend the rules or edit them as i wish lol !! pupils are also a if-i-feel-like-it thing !!
The Cold
- light blues, icy, cold colours.
- thin, bony, pointy. his 'ears' / tufts stand up straight. sharper beak. etc. mid-length feathers on arms, short on legs.
- thin, long tail with a few feathers at the end
The Contrarian
- warm colours for the most part, potentially some blues or something for contrast. all rather saturated
- puffy feathers.
- simple no-sleeved vest that fits well.
- thin tail with rough, messy feathers that ends with two arrow-shaped ends
The Smitten
- more pinkish, purplish, red sort of colours. potentially rather vibrant and saturated also?

- little dots under eyes
- fluffy chest.
- more solid body
- two toes
The Opportunist
- blues and purples, perhaps a little orange
- looser shirt, long + big sleeves. deck of cards. plays with the cheated. Often cheats.
The Hunted

- big ears. to listen
- stronger legs, ready to run and dodge,
The Paranoid
- orange, yellow.
- overpreens and stuff. lots of bent or broken feathers, occasionally some rather patchy spots. feathers dont have a clean end along his limbs. the others have some bent or broken feathers too of course but he's got it the worst
The Cheated

- deck of cards

The Long Quiet / Player / Body

- is something... more though, in his natural state. similar to how the Shifting Mound is different than the ordinary princess you see. bigger wings, a more monstrous form.
- entirely greyscale
The Narrator
- toothed beak, sharp teeth.
- has a mane. whether thats made of feathers or fur or hair or what? who knows. All that matters is that its soft.

OKAAAAY thats all teehee hope u enjoy !!!!
