#they probably wouldn't care except for like

[pomefioredove]

um um. the nbc boys with a reader thats smart and learns easily but has trouble keeping up with the school system(? for lack of better words). they get distracted and bored easily, forget about homework, doodle on their papers and stare out the window, etc. they get great test scores and do exceptionally well when they are interested in what they’re learning, but otherwise get burned out really quick. i don’t know much about your nbc but it seems like the system is pretty fast paced and doesn’t really leave room for mistakes! 🫶🫶 i love your designs for nbc so far. can already tell the readers gonna have a blast (and a migraine)

my first ever noble bell oc request... rubs my hands together evilly

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ no room for mistakes (noble bell college)

inspired by my AU

type of post: headcanons characters: rollo, original characters; pierrot, bou, phoenix, clodio additional info: romantic or platonic, reader is gender neutral, reader is yuu

Rollo Flamme will arrange a precise time to study with you every day, whether you ask him or not. it's within his best interest that you succeed at Noble Bell (heavens forbid you're shipped off to a lesser, simpler arcane academy like that terrible Night Raven College), and so there will be no room for mistakes. this isn't something you should take for granted, either; Rollo is a very busy man, and to have an hour of his time for him to tutor you is a privilege. at least, that's what everyone else will tell you

to Rollo, this is nothing. he would make his whole weekend for you, if you asked. perhaps his whole life

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

Pierrot Gregoire is probably the last person you should be going to for help. yes, he's exceptionally intelligent in the ways of history and literature, and yes, he could lecture you for hours longer than your actual professor does, but I doubt you would actually get anything but a headache out of it. he's a poet, not a tutor, and he has a tendency to talk himself in circles, go on tangents, anecdote about his personal life... yeah. it would take a special sort of mind to keep up with him, otherwise, you're probably better off trying to make sense of his unorganized class notes... which are just as full of doodles and daydreams as yours

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

Bou de Neige is known for making harsh judgments about his peers... which are often accurate. and so he can tell, by the way you talk and articulate and express, that you're not a blithering idiot. you only lack the discipline that the typical Noble Bell College student has. and if it weren't for Rollo's faith in you, and his own damned pity, Bou would have been happy to let you fail...

...but he doesn't. he sits next to you in classes and pinches your arm when you're dozing off, or not paying attention to something important. he leers over you and corrects the mistakes on your homework before you turn it in. he begins carrying clean paper for you to doodle on, and insists it's nothing (it's so over for him)

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

Phoenix Bussiere is not what I would call a trustworthy tutor. he's not even a trustworthy student. oh, but don't think he wouldn't love to waste a few hours every week "helping you study" while he vandalizes 500 year old wood desks and falls asleep in the library. he's way too eager to volunteer. and how can you say no? his attention is highly valuable; the jealous glares of other students make that obvious. and perhaps you wouldn't have minded working alone, without anyone breathing down your neck... except he doesn't let you. he couldn't care less about the homework, but he'll ask you a thousand questions about yourself

...you can never quite tell if he actually cares, or if he's just passing the time

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

if you think Clodio LeFou would be the worst of the group, you'd be very wrong. is it chaotic? yes. but he'll teach you Latin while hanging upside down (and he's really quite good at it). he's managed to get by at Noble Bell without raising any eyebrows, after all, and his grades certainly reflect that. he'll act out your history lessons and critique your writing assignments like a professional. he'll make a puppet just to teach you math. it's unconventional, especially for Noble Bell, but it's much better than the dry lectures from your professors. you'll take what you can get

What sort of parts of being a bird aren't that obvious?

Not sure at all what this means so I have to assume you mean like, things you wouldn't think about if you weren't a bird (therian/holothere)?

Idk. I think in trying to think of what being a bird would be like a mammal alterhuman would probably imagine having feather or beak phantom shifts or flight urges or something but not consider how frustrated they would get at the subtle ways people talk about or think about birds which you'd only feel are off if you are one. Growing up I had a lot of people think I was a freak because I would get mad at things like "vulture eating a dead chicken? haha cannibalism" or "cartoon birds that have teeth and hold things with their flight feathers" or "the entire concept of Maximum Ride" and it wasn't that big a deal. Which for my part I never considered other people didn't care and couldn't get why I did because I was understanding my own mind and body in a different way than they were. And I mean both a different way than they understood their own, and a different way than they understood mine.

Birds are just recognized in a way that's different from how mammals are, mostly re: the sweeping generalization where like, all birds are Birds™, except for Specific Birds, which are owls or swans or pelicans or etc. before they're Birds™. But even in the cases of animals that (most) people would look at and say "this is an owl/swan/pelican" before they'd say "this is a bird," the way mammals (not just humans) tend to understand them is only through the lens of their own behavior and physiology. Which is why I get so frustrated, personally (not saying judgmentally toward fellow bird alterhumans physical or otherwise who do have these experiences), when people seem to just assume if you're any kind of wingéd nonhuman, that your back must feel strange from the big fluffy angel wings, or that it would be totally weird to have a talon ph-shift and feel a claw on your heel, or being a common raven is like, poetic or something for me.

That annoyance, to me, is a part of being a bird that's less obvious than the fact itself that my wings and arms are homologous, or that having talons would probably feel closer to home than mammals might think because birds are actually digitigrade, or that ravens (and doves and swans and eagles and every other bird that has Symbolic Significance) are actually just wild animals and there's more to do with apricot cravings, instinctive echolalia, and misunderstanding social hierarchies when I hang out with humans or canines, than there is with gothic poetry.

Also our tails aren't just big fans of loose or stiff feathers omg there is like a whole flesh and bone structure how do folks still not realize this—

Do you think the characters would bully any demons they see smoking in the area when the MC is around?

Hm, I think that it would depend on the situation, and also on who was with MC at the time.

I like to think that demons are big on things like personal freedom and bodily autonomy, which is part of why smoking isn't seen as a problem or a big deal in the Devildom. It's your body and your choice, why should anyone care what you want to do with it? This is Hell, after all.

So unless some random demon is walking right up to MC and purposefully blowing smoke directly in their face? I can't see too many of the brothers making a big deal of anyone else smoking, or having particularly dramatic reactions, yk?

If a lower demon is smoking inside RAD (something that no one would have cared about before meeting MC) then most, if not all, of the brothers would probably just tell them to put it out or take it outside if MC was close by. Usually just speaking up is enough to get other demons to do what they want - since most lesser demons respect the Lords of the Devildom enough to listen - but if anyone gave them back some shitty attitude? Then yeah, the brothers would definitely stand up for MC and put those lower demons in their place.

Lucifer doesn't even have to deal with this sort of thing, since nobody is dumb enough to try sassing back the Avatar of Pride. Mammon and Levi would both start yelling and insulting the hypothetical lesser demon until the smoker gave up and left. Satan would make terrifying, blood-curdling, nightmare-inducing threats with a cold smile on his face, which is more than enough to scare any lower demons straight. Asmo would scoff and make a catty remark as he lead you away, only for that lesser demon's social life to be dragged through the mud on Devilgram later that evening. Beel would have to stop Belphie from doing something his twin would later regret, and the sight of the Avatar of Gluttony holding his brother back is enough to scare anyone off from messing around near you again.

But for the most part, I just don't think it would be an issue? I can only really picture the brothers stepping in if somebody was actually giving MC a problem. But if they're just out in the Devildom taking MC shopping or running errands or going to The Fall or anything like that? Well, you're in public and this is a free space, those demons can smoke if they want to. But they'll walk you further away or take you somewhere else, if they felt like the secondhand smoke was going to be a hazard. You come first!

I should be because it happens to 9 to 11 years old to the spend of 4 or 8 times but I don't remember and I have no evidence of it :(

{It's a problem that I still wanna be groomed again because I'm retarded because I don't address it, I just push it all the way back till someone brings it up. That's why I was freaking out because of this reason}

(One of the reasons I'm suicidal.)

But I'm a mom so I can't die. (Funny how you can see the bear with the bracelet on? That's irl Angel and this is Luna my child. She is Bonita!!!)

But because of this I probably will still sh. How does therapy help people??? I'll get locked up if I told my therapist my problems. I cause people to have so much headaches it angers and makes me sad.

(Me yapping warning 😮‍💨)

Like how can people say they care when they just started saying that they did like you fake bitch. How can you say you care when you have never shown that 🫤 I don't know. I don't like people caring about me because if my own bf(which I don't really count us dating because he shows nothing to me 😶) doesn't even do that, how do I except other people to? I don't trust what people say and I doubt a lot about that. Plus it's my fault because if someone right here RIGHT NOW did the same things as Rain(first sexual abuser/groomer. The reason I became a hyper sexual and another paraphilia I wouldn't like to be saying) I would drop everything to date that person. That's how much I'm attracted to Rain. That's why I was freaking out earlier because I'm easy to be groomed because it's still really fresh if you think about it. So I'm worried someone is going to try to date me because of that. Of course they won't make it obvious and they always be like "wannabe friends" and stuff...

I don't know, I just yapped a lot. I hate autism. I don't like it. I get bullied for it for years in irl and for my misphonia... I also have been a cyberbully and the cyberbullied. It's a mess. I don't like venting but I keep talking because I'm too honest and I'm too open. I'm going to get groomed again and I just hate it. That's all.. I'm writing this at 11:35 PM so I'm just going to draw till I feel sleepy...

Also it just feels wrong to call me a SA victim... All I did was have E-sex online with those creeps... Didn't know that also count for sexual abuse... Mm... I just don't think I could ever call myself a SA victim because I haven't been rxped or SA or sexual harassment...

Funny. The proshipper I was fighting with blocked me... Funny. Not funny haha, funny weird...

I guess I won? Idk 😧. Did I win or what? Someone screenshot their post if they mean something about me to check but guys. I think I won... Funny.. 😀

[montanabohemian]

i just watched this video on youtube about a $12 million dollar house and while it was in fact stunning, the thing i couldn't get past was the fact that every single bedroom had their own washer and dryer. and i'm like, if i spend $12 million on an enormous house, i ain't doing laundry in my own fucking room. no way. there will be an entire room dedicated to that thank you very much. like what the fuck. you spent 11 years building this stunning chateau-like house and you give each bedroom that?! i don't know man, rich people are weird.

still want the house tho. hahahahaha. where's my rich sugar daddy when i need him.

[airenyah]

ok so today i had my first thai class after a really long christmas break and somehow andreas gabalier (an austrian folk singer) and his music came up. and i don't remember what exactly my teacher said but he made a comment along the lines of "andreas gabalier is considered a standard good looking dude here in austria, right?" (my teacher is from thailand, so he wasn't sure about austrian people's preferences)

and his question was met with complete silence, because the thing is... our class consists of 3 middle aged guys plus one more guy in his mid 30s. and then there's me. the only girl

and since no one answered the question about andreas gabalier's looks, our teacher then addressed me directly and following conversation ensued:

teacher: "[airenyah]?" me: (feeling slightly shy and embarrassed) ".....i don't know what andreas gabalier looks like 🙈" everyone: (breaks out in laughter) middle-aged classmate: (highly amused) "i suspect he's not your type..." (me: "oh 🙈") "you're not missing out on anything :D"

i really like my teacher but god, let me live. don't put me on the spot like that 😩😩😩

[autistickfigure]

first time they meet. Technically. not really

oh i should grab the fucking note they were passing and read it aloud to both of them. maybe that will teach them not to pass notes about one of their friends .

Say what you will about Van Helsing 2004; hate it, love it, be indifferent, But the All-Hallow's masquerade ball went sooooo hard and it had zero right to do so! It's a fun, campy, monster mash movie with wonderfully dated ( and expensive) cgi and non-stop action meant to be a popcorn flick one takes out to watch around spooky season. And it has this* chef's kiss* GORGEOUS 6 minute sequence plopped arbitrarily in the second act, which unexpectedly surpasses nearly every other ball in the last 30+ years of film( notable exception being the Cinderella 2015 ball) for literally no reason other than to be dramatic af.

Like feast your eyes on this Gothic masterpiece!!! Who doesn't want to immediately live in this picture?!??

They used those candles with oil in them so that they would have real candles, real string orchestra( I believe), probably around 100 real life extras( something which is tragically absent in modern film), said extras are all in beautiful fully decked-out costumes( which are in luxuriously dark colours, but nearly no fully black, another thing you cannot say for much modern cinema), REAL CIRQUE DU SOLEIL PERFORMERS for all the acrobatics!!!! Hell, instead of filming in a sound stage, where they could control the reverb and the acoustics and the size of the set and the bloody lighting ( they apparently had a heck of a time emulating the firelight for this sequence) and the temperature( it's very cold in stone churches!) better, they filmed in a Baroque church in Prague! As I said, peak dramatic splendour, jfc...

Think about that a second...They filmed a vampire masquerade in a Baroque Catholic Church( St. Nicholas' in Lesser Town, if you were curious) with amazing over-the-top acoustics and marble statues and real, tiled floors and marble pillars and a choir loft which they very much utilized, covered the pipe organ and the altar with a grand brocade curtain so it wouldn't be so obviously a, you know, a church! And there's a gold gilt elevated and canopied pulpit into which they put two vampire kiddies for, again, the sake of being dramatic.

And the costumes! They remind me of the 25th anniversary Phantom of the Opera Masquerade costumes. Same quality, like they're old, well-cared-for costumes pulled out of a warehouse, instead of fast industry churn-outs. With lots of trim and colour and masks and lace and feathers and..just...ugh.. they are all perfect! Just look at all the head pieces on the ladies and the hats on all the gentleman ( save Dracula of course) and the powdered wigs on the musicians. ANNNNDD! The dresses are historically correct!!!!!! It's the 80's bustle era! Nobody does the 80's bustle era in film anymore and it's a bummer. Oh and one other thing! Anna's ( and other women's) hair, at least here in the ball, is also historically accurate because it's all pinned up! None of those fucken modern beachwaves at a ball! Everybody's got updo's!

Gah, I swear, Dracula in his gold cloak really does things to me in this scene!

By the way, the acrobatics are bonkers in here for just background stuff!! Especially the random guys on unicycles and the dude playing the violin whilst standing on a ball...Like....WHAT?

Anyways, all this to say, that this masquerade ball feels sooo real and tangible and because of that it blows every other film out of the water, and no, I will not change my mind!!!!!

Here's a few more gifs, bcuz, why the hell not, this scene is sexy as fuu*ck?

Alright I need to go to bed now.

🐇 svt reacts to 'i used to have a little bit of a crush on you'.

anon → "svt reacting to reader texting them ‘i used to have a bit of a crush on u lol’ to test the waters (bc reader definitely still has that crush)"

⌗ ┆this took me a hot minute but tbh i was sold the moment i saw the ask. such a goood prompt

‧₊˚✩彡 includes: reader crushing on svt, [super duper light] angst (just with jihoon tbh), crack/fluff/etc., headcanons under the cut.

🐇 headcanons .ᐟ

someone as pouty as seungcheol would not let that text slide. 'used to'? he will absolutely pester you for details. on top of that, he'll mope about your feelings for him 'fading' so quickly. when you eventually confide to him that it's still a present-day thing, he'll probably hold a grudge until you go after him. he's not happy to be played with, especially when it comes to your feelings for him.

jeonghan, as usual, is quick on his feet. here's the thing: he's one of the few who know you're messing around. he probably knows you still have a crush on him and will be quick to mess with you so he can get you to admit that. he's smooth about how he confesses to reciprocating your feelings, although he has a way of making it look like it's harmless flirtation. he's already plotting on how to pull the rug underneath you next time for attempting to prank him like this.

it's so hard to joke about things like these with joshua. he'll be genuinely upset that your crush is in the past tense, and will be just as insistent as seungcheol in finding out why things might have changed. unable to resist his babygirl tendencies, you're likely to come clean and he'll do a full 180. he doesn't mind that you tried to prank him; he's amused, even, and mostly just glad that he has a reason now to confess as well.

junhui will be relentless. whether it's sending you his selfies or buying you food, he's going to be a little extra in bringing those feelings back. even if you insist that you were kidding and that the crush is still very much existent, he won't believe you. he's going to do everything for you to keep your eyes on him, no questions asked.

soonyoung is not about to waste a moment once he gets that text. if he has to drive, if he has to run, he'll do it. he'll be on your doorstep within minutes, out of breath and still his usual overdramatic self. "used to? used to?" he'll demand, minutes away from a full-on tantrum. "what do you mean, used to— when i like you nowww—?!"

if you're going to pull his leg, wonwoo is going to do it right back. he's always been calm and collected under pressure; this is no exception. he's not about to crack over a message that's so obviously a joke. like jeonghan, he has some sense that your feelings are still present tense. he's just a lot more suave in trying to get you to admit it. after all, wonwoo doesn't mind taking his time.

jihoon wouldn't be devastated, per se, but the little 'used to' will sting more than he really cares to admit. he's the type who will end up spiraling over this if you don't amend it quickly. what if i told them i liked them much earlier? what if i hadn't done this, hadn't done that? when you come clean, he'll probably just be like "oh." before taking it as a cue to finally be honest with himself (and you), too.

mingyu is in the club of those-who-know-the-crush-is-still-there, but he's definitely one of the more insufferable about it. he will wheedle that confession out of you if it's the last thing he does. in typical mingyu fashion, there's a healthy dose of teasing— but at the end of it all, you can trust that he'll give just as much as he takes.

seokmin would be so broken up about the fact that your supposed confession is after the fact. when he says he needs a moment, he's going to spend a couple of hours frantically typing out the best response in his notes app. it turns out to be more of a stream of consciousness where he praises you, confesses, and asks you out in one breath.

don't be fooled by minghao seeming the most normal about this whole thing. his hands are shaking as he types out his responses, as his mind goes absolutely overdrive on The Right Thing To Say. all of that goes out the window when you give him an opening. The Right Thing To Say be damned. he would very much like to find out what could have been different if you knew this could go somewhere.

if anybody would be playfully annoyed about this little turn of events, it'd be seungkwan. and he'd make it everybody's problem, too! by the time he gets back to you, half of the group already knows that you've allegedly gotten over your crush on seungkwan. when you confront him, he's quick to be the perfect picture of innocent. "what, gonna tell me it's wrong?" he'll tease. "you're just upset because you still like me, don't you?"

vernon's attempt to be chill backfires almost instantly. he's the type who will try (and fail) to feign nonchalance, like a confession from you is just an every day thing. but then you press and he realizes— well, there's not much hiding to do at this point. he'll tell you the truth if only because he's just glad to have it off his chest.

nobody is going to be more pissed at this prank than chan will be. not only did you manage to get him to accidentally confess, but he will also feel like his pride has taken a real hit. he'll give you a cold shoulder and whine about it for days. when he gets over it, only then will you have a chance to discuss what this all means. (and how you should never, ever joke around with chan about something like this ever again.)
