Trans made TTRPGs

Due to… recent events that I would rather not talk about, today's post is a highlight of different tabletop games made by trans peeps! These games are fantastic in their own right, of course, but you can also know that they were made by incredibly cool and attractive people

(Also, these are flyover descs of the game, they'll get more in-depth singular posts later, this is because I am lazy)

Perfect Draw is a phenomenal card game TTRPG that was funded in less than a day on backerkit, it's incredibly fun and has simple to learn hard to master rules for creating custom cards, go check it out!

Songs for the dusk is fucking good, pardon my language, but it's a damn good post apocalyptic game about building community in a post-capitalist-post-apocalypse-post-whatever world. do yourself a favor and if you only check out one game in this list, check this one out, its a beautiful game.

Flying Circus is set in a WW1 inspired fantasy setting full of witches, weird eldritch fish people (who are chill as hell), cults, dead nobility, and other such things. It's inspired by Porco Rosso primarily but it has other touchstones.

Wanderhome is a game about being cute little guys going on a silly adventure and growing as the seasons change, its GMless and very fun

https://weregazelle.itch.io/armour-astir Armour Astir has been featured in here before but its so damn good I had to post it twice. AA demonstrates a fundamental knowledge of the themes of mech shows in a way that very few other games show, its awesome

Kitchen Knightmares is… more of a LARP but its still really dang cool, its about being a knight serving people in a restaurant, its played using discord so its incredibly accessible

https://grimogre.itch.io/michtim Michtim is a game about being small critters protecting their forest from nasty people who wish to harm it, not via brutal violence (sadly) but via friendship and understanding (which is a good substitute to violence)

ok this technically doesn't count but I'm putting it here anyways cuz its like one of my favorite ttrpgs of all time TSL is a game about baring your heart and dueling away with people who you'll probably kiss 10 minutes later, its very very fanfic-ey and inspired by queer narratives. I put it here because its made by a team, and the expansion has a setting specifically meant to be a trans "allegory", so I'll say it counts, honestly just go check it out its good shit

https://willuhl.itch.io/mystic-lilies

Mystic Lillies is a game inspired by ZUN's Touhou Project about witches dueling powerful foes, each other, and themselves. Mystic Lillies features rapid character creation and a unique diceless form of rolling which instead uses a standard playing card deck.

https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/141424/nobilis-the-game-of-sovereign-powers-2002-edition I… want to do a more general overview on Jenna K as an important figure in indie RPG design, but for now just know that Nobilis is good

https://temporalhiccup.itch.io/apocalypse-keys Apocalypse Keys is a game inspired by Doom Patrol, Hellboy, X-men, and other comics about monstrousness being an allegory for disenfranchisement. Apocalypse Keys is also here because its published by Evilhat so its very cleaned up and fancy but I love how the second you check out the dev's other stuff you can tell they are a lot more experimental with their stuff, this is not a critique, it is in fact a compliment

Fellowship! I've posted about this game before, but it is again here. Fellowship has a fun concept that it uses very well mostly, its a game about defining your character's culture, and I think that's really really cool

Voidheart Symphony is a really cool game about psychic rebellion in a city that really does not like you, the more you discover for yourself the better

Panic at the Dojo is a phenomenal ttrpg based on what the Brazilian would call "Pancadaria", which basically means, fucking other's people shit up. Character Creation is incredibly open and free, meaning that many character concepts are available

Legacy 2e is a game about controlling an entire faction's choices across time, its very fun

remember to be kind to a trans person today! oh also don't even try to be transphobic in the reblogs or replies, you will be blocked so fast your head will spin

Tell Me About Your Thirsty Sword Lesbian OCs!

I am not just a girl who worked on TSL, I genuinely love Thirsty Sword Lesbians. Before I was asked to work on it I claimed on Twitter that I thought it was my favorite TTRPG I ever played. I was like a month after that that April approached me work on the game. I have GMed so many games of TSL since I discovered the game one shots and campaigns and played so many games of TSL. This game is such a huge part of my life even outside of designing for it. I've done multiple campaigns, tons of one shots, I plan on doing more too. If I had the freedom I'd do a TSL game like 6 days a week and the 7th day to test out other systems. [If you want to see me in action I GMed this game on steam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjcfw7krIVw&t=13s and played this game on stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_UtG6pdcnI&t=263s ]

This is to say as a big part of the fan side of TSL I want to hear about y'alls OCs and gush about mine. I'll start

I adapted one of my characters Serena [who debuted in my web novel Love Beyond The Holy Light] into a magical girl for a short Sparkle Heart Campaign with some friends. They were all retired magical girls who defeated a big bad in college. Serena was a Matriarch [which is a check reference cuz The Iconic Matriarch is my OC that is her adoptive mom] who settled down, had a family of kids who needed homes she was raising and left behind her old traumatic days. The girl had been brainwashed and turned into the evil vampire queen saved by the rest of the sparkle hearts she joined the team and helped them defeat the evil that once controlled her. Serena remembered all the broken promises and things she left behind and by the end worked at a Bakery with her long time crush now openly polyamarous with her and the rest of the team, living happily ever after, making sweets to bring ab it of joy into everyone's lives. It was such a good little story, there is way more but I wanna keep it short.

Before the Sith: A Star Wars Reskin

Coming up the first weekend in May, Open Hearth is hosting our Star Wars: May the 4th Be With You mini-con. This is the third one of these we’ve done. It’s a weekend of reskinned games– building on the Star Wars Saturdays which have been happening for four+ years now. Last year I ran a couple of Thirsty Force Nightsisters sessions, reskinning TSL to play out tales from Dathomir. The year before I used Hearts of Wulin to do a new take on Star Wars Episode XI. This year I’m running Before the Sith.  

Before the Storm by Joanna Piancastelli, a one-shot rpg, comes from the Pelgrane’s Seven Wonders collection. In it the group plays out the story of the last night of a fantasy company, as they rest before the final battle. It’s a game about relationships, disagreements, secrets, coming to terms with the past and more. It works both as a tabletop game and a LARP.

My pitch for this is: This is for a one-shot of Before the Storm, a storygame of heroes facing a final showdown with a deadly foe. On the eve of the battle we flash back to how they got here, explore old relationships, and deal with unresolved tensions. We begin by building the setting and the characters in the first hour and then move to calling scenes. 

Our story takes place during the Old Republic with a group facing down a deadly Sith invasion– through play we will find out if they can emerge victorious and who will survive the coming battle.

Before the Storm feels like a natural way to play out these stories—and it doesn’t require much of a reskin. Rather than a fantasy citadel, our team of Old Republic heroes is about to make a final stand against a galaxy-shattering enemy. The protagonists have recovered The Object, something the enemy wants and that our heroes hope to use against them. To make their last stand, these desperate defenders have bunkered down in a base filled with allies and civilians, awaiting tomorrow’s attack.

Hello! Yes Olivia did say that. However, in her retelling of the story (not to say I don’t believe her at all but just that Adrian has not said anything publicly) she asked Adrian many times over the course of the Olympic season whether he would be retiring and he never gave her a straight up answer. He would say something to the effect of I’m not ready to decide or I don’t know. But then right after their free dance at 2022 Worlds, he told her he was retiring. His fiancée Madi H had fully announced it was her last season and if I remember correctly Scott and/or MF and Patch had already discussed options for joining Scott to coach in London at IAMO. So essentially Olivia was blindsided. She’s also quite young still, I think was 24 at the Olympics? And felt that she still had the desire to compete having thought that she would still have some time left in her career. I think some people are skeptical that she didn’t know or more adequately suspect that Adrian would retire. But that’s their business and partnership! She still attended the wedding a few weeks ago in Spain. She took a season off, did dancing on ice and won! And now is paired with Tim D, who previously competed for Germany. I’m happy for her that she’s back! I think she’s super talented so hoping that the partnership goes well. It seems like the desire to return was because of her love for the sport, not in spite of what happened. And like so many athletes, I think there was a strong comedown after the Olympics for Olivia, and that’s tough to deal with so I’m glad she’s back in Montreal and seems to be in a good place. Sorry for the long post, hope that helps :). Just one more thing - Olivia told her story recently on an ice skating podcast. I forget which one but you can take a listen if you’d like - I’m sure it’s pretty easy to find on google.

Thanks for the info!

Yeh so a few things: I really don’t know the ins and outs of ice dance post-VM’s retirement- that’s kind of where my deep interest for the sport ends and yeah I see what’s going on but I don’t follow it, don’t have any particular interest in any teams. I’ve only really watched S/D in the VM era (and at the 22 olys) and they were obviously very good but as I said I didn’t really take interest in general so nothing against them specifically. Through watching lots of stuff I learned he and madi were together and in seeing the age difference of him and olivia it would make sense he was getting towards retirement age/life direction with madi already confirming such.

In saying I dont really have an interest in them or ID specifically, I’m certainly not holding anything against her for getting a new partner/anything that was said publicly regarding retiring/splitting/who blindsided who- as you said it’s none of anyones business.

It was just that I happened to see that clip from TSL of her saying.. what I said in the initial post about not getting a new partner (and of course things can change and that should not be held against anyone because it’s their business).

Inevitably everything with me and this blog comes back to VM bc that’s where my heart and interest is.. so I just always find it interesting in looking at other teams/the ID landscape/seeing how things work- teams splitting up/retiring/new ones forming.. and I can’t help but go back to VM and their loyalty to each other.. their partnership just so clearly means everything to them and they legitimately view skating with anyone else as.. a kind of cheating on each other and it would just never happen (proven through literally everything they’ve ever said and done throughout their partnership and continue to). This is not too say S/D partnership wasn’t meaningful and special.. just not in the way VM’s is.

Obviously their situation was different to a team like S/D: coming from different counties, big age gap, other life things pulling them in different directions. I don’t judge Olivia at all. Was just purely a comment on what I had heard said.

Thanks so much for clarifying anon! (And for being nice and level headed about it as I’m sure there are plenty putting blame/hating on either of them).

Also while we’re discussing new partnerships.. did Haley and Nick (S/W) break up.. I thought I read she was looking for a new partner..? As I said I really don’t actively keep track.. just something I saw (and just to throw in my own two cents.. I really dont/didn’t see them getting above the level they’ve been at for a while- NOT a knock against Scott and his coaching- just their skill level and even with the best coach in the world, some just reach their limit..and in a tough country to compete internally like canada.. makes sense why S/F went to Ireland).

Obey Me! Demon Bros React to a GN!MC Who is A Popular Comic/Manga Artist

A/N: Ayo! This is my first time making a headcanon so you could tell that I'm quite nervous about this. Idk if someone had already made this hc but it's stuck in my head that I can't focus on other stuff. Anyhow, I hope you guys enjoy reading this!

Summary: How would the demon bros react if they discovered that MC is a popular comic/manga artist in the human world.

Genre: Fluff

Warning: I got too eager to make this and it got a bit lengthy (esp. Levi's part) (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)

MASTERLIST

Lucifer

He already knows that you were a popular comic/manga artist the moment he read your file.

But he had no idea that you were THAT popular.

One time he went to a comic con with you to show his support, and a lot of people lined up in front of your table in a snap just to get their copy signed. He couldn't even tell where the long queue ends.

He doesn't read comics/mangas so he doesn't know how your works became so popular in the human world.

So he decided to read some of your works to understand the hype.

He was surprised. He now knows why your comics/mangas were successful. The story of your works was well-written and the art style is really good. And he enjoyed reading it, though he wouldn't tell you that.

He felt proud of your accomplishments and the fact that your talents are recognized by the world.

He is now one of your fans. His pride wouldn't let him admit it tho.

Mammon

I have a feeling that he would know after seeing your name in an article online about popular comic/manga artists.

He'll barge into your room and start saying things like "Why didn't ya tell me you're a popular comic/manga artist up in the human world? You're supposed to tell me things like that, remember? Since I'm your first man and all."

He'd then ask you things like "How much do ya earn per work?" or "Are ya planning to team up with someone? If ya like I could team up with you."

"Sorry, Mammon. But I don't have plans in collaborating with other artists yet."

He'll give you a dejected puppy look.

He's sad that you don't plan to collaborate with him, but he'll still support you. He IS your first man after all.

He would read all of your works starting from the first one until your most recent work.

Congrats, you've got another fan of your works.

Even though you don't accept collaboration requests yet, he would give you ideas for your ongoing work. This helps you a lot in making your newest work's story/plot.

Acknowledge him in your newly released work and he'd be over the moon.

Leviathan

He would know your not-so-secret secret in one of the comic cons he was attending.

He's going on for days talking about this manga that he started reading and how it's so well-done and how he's been looking forward to meeting the artist behind it in the comic con he'll be attending next Saturday.

He even suggested that you should start reading the series with him. Little did he know that you were the artist behind the manga he was talking about.

Imagine the surprised look on his face when he saw you in the comic con, sitting with a table in front of you and a pen in your dominant hand while smiling at him.

Realization hit him. You were the artist who made the manga he so much enjoys. Wait, if you were the artist behind the manga he was reading, then--

Levi.exe has stopped working.

He doesn't know how to react to the truth bomb you just dropped in front of him. He felt like his soul had just re-ascended to the Celestial Realm.

Marry him now.

"Umm, Levi" you waved your hand in front of his face. "Do you want me to sign your copy?"

Your question snapped him back to reality.

"Y-yes, please!" His hands shook from nervousness and shock, and a shade of red had spread across his face and ears.

"I'm glad you liked my series. I appreciate it."

The poor snek boi's heart just stopped.

When you two got home from the convention, he straight up went inside his room and locked himself up.

Remember how he acted around Simeon when he discovered that he's the author of TSL? Yeah, he's giving you the same treatment now.

It took him a while before he started acting normal around you again.

Sometimes though, you could see him being star-stricken with you.

Satan

"Oh, cool."

That was his reaction until you told him the title of your most recent work and its synopsis. Which included two of his favorite things in the three realms-- cats and mystery stories.

If he doesn't have a plan to read it before, he has now.

He is in awe of how well-written the story is and how your art style contrasts the theme of the story.

He would definitely tell you his opinion about it after he finishes the whole series in record time.

If you'd like, he could help you write a sequel to it. Heck, he already has an idea of what the story should be about.

Asmodeus

He would know your profession when he accidentally saw your drafts scattered on your study table.

"Oh, hon... why didn't you tell me that you're a comic/manga artist? Your art style is really good."

He'll give you a lot of compliments after this.

Not surprised when he discovers that your works are very popular in the human world. (He discovers this with the help of Levi). Who in their right minds would dislike a work as good as yours?

Expect that your works would be trending in Devilgram a few days later. Courtesy of yours truly.

He feels that your works should also be recognized in the Devildom, just like his beauty.

He's careful not to post major spoilers after Levi nagged at him nonstop when he accidentally posted one online.

Would ask you to make a comic about himself.

Beelzebub

"Oh, cool." (2)

He's not particularly interested in reading comics/mangas but he will support you nevertheless.

He volunteered to be your bodyguard when you told him you'll attend a fan meeting arranged by the publishing house next week.

He's worried for your safety. He knows how chaotic it can be when meeting your fans. He already has experience with rogue fans.

When you're in a rush of meeting a deadline and you can't afford to join them for dinner, he will be the one who would bring your dinner to your room. You can't work with an empty stomach, after all.

He's totally a keeper.

Belphegor

"Oh, cool." (3)

He may seem to not pay attention whenever you talk about your job but believe me, all of his attention is on you.

He doesn't have the motivation to read all of your works but he'll still be one of your biggest fans.

He has a favorite among all of your works. You'll sometimes see him reading it over and over again if he's not sleeping.

When he's in the mood, he'll even help you proofread the chapter you're currently working on. He doesn't care if it spoils him in the process.

If the chapter you're currently working on includes things about astronomy, he'll gladly help you with it.

Permanent Chaos (4/?)

Pairing: MGK x Female!Reader

Word Count: 4k

Warnings: mild swearing

Part Summary: While Y/N is out shopping with Cara, news breaks that ties her with MGK. 

Masterlist

Masterlist

Two days later...

Cara and I go out shopping and have lunch for a girl’s day. I have yet to talk about the other night with Sam. Cara hasn’t mentioned it and I have no plans to either. Cameras have followed us up and down Rodeo Drive. By this point, Cara and I are both used to it. Carrying my bags however, I doubt I look graceful for these videos their taking. Oh well, they have fifteen thousand more of me.

“CARA! EXCITED TO WALK IN THE CHANEL FASHION SHOW?”

Cara ignores the paparazzi and points out a dress in the window at Dolce and Gabbana. I request to go inside to try it on. I’m not sure where I’d wear it to, but that doesn’t really matter.

“Welcome ladies!” A woman in a black dress approaches. “Can I help you find anything in particular?”

I point over to the dress in the window, “could I see that in a size six please?”

She leaves us to go find the dress for me and we roam around a small section while she does. My phone rings and I see Nicole’s name pop up. My heart immediately begins to race. She doesn’t call me unless absolutely necessary, usually we text. I step away toward the corner to be discreet.

I answer the call hesitantly. “Nicole? What’s up?”

“I got a call from Stephanie,” she sounds agitated on the other end.

Stephanie is my publicist, she handles everything that Nicole can’t basically. They bicker a lot since they’re both so headstrong and constantly need control. It’s the classic good cop/bad cop scenario, yet I don’t know who’s who. These two cover every aspect of my career, God bless them.

“Oh no, sounds bad,” I grumble anxiously.

“Depends how you look at it,” she lightens her tone.

“What is it?” I press.

“Well…” she hesitates.

“Nicole!” I drag out her name.

“It’s all over social media, magazines and it will be on TMZ tonight,” she stammers. “I’m surprised you haven’t already heard if I’m being honest-”

“Nicole! What?” I rush her.

“An article about you and Colson Baker just dropped on some gossip sight,” she explains. “It says that you and Colson Baker are dating. Stephanie and I figured no one would believe it but it’s everywhere! They have videos and photos of you two leaving The Ivy plus talking by Sam’s car. If I didn’t know you, I would be convinced.”

My head hangs low as I rub my forehead, letting out a deep sigh. “Oh dear God.”

“We can handle it, don’t worry!” Nicole assures. “This story will be gone soon!”

“I need to go, talk to you later!” I hang up on Nicole right when the woman shows me the dress.

“I’ll take it” I attempt to hurry up the process.

Cara comes up next to me “don’t you think you should try it on first?”

“I’ll explain later but we need to go” I whisper to her and just like that, she’s hurry the woman along at the register.

I have the dress and exit the store in a rush. I must act cool, the paparazzi will take notice of my mood change.

“HOW’S COLSON, Y/N?”

“SEEING HIM TONIGHT?”

“HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DATING?”

“HOW ARE GONNA HANDEL HIS FANS?”

“HAS HE MET THE FAMILY YET?”

“What’s going on?” Cara asks concerned.

“I’ll explain once we’re somewhere private,” I whisper so the cameras don’t pick up on it.

We speed walk to the car and I offer to drive since I made us cut the day short. Once we’re on the highway towards home Cara asks what the heck is going on.

“Why did they keep asking about Colson?”

I turn on the radio and Elvis Duran, along with his team, are discussing no other than me and Colson.

Danielle summarizes the article for the listeners. “The article says they’ve been dating for the past few months. They’re very happy but the relationship is still new. The pair has not yet met each other’s families but Colson is going on tour soon so maybe Y/N will join him and eventually meet the family. Throughout, there are tons of photos of the cute young couple leaving The Ivy Wednesday night. There’s even a link to a video showing them, what appears to be, having a deep conversation by Sam Merka’s car. If you watch the video, the two are clearly looking at each other very lovingly. I mean, he’s looking at her the way I look at a fresh pizza!”

The rest of the cast laughs and I can’t believe what I’m hearing. Actually, scratch that, I can believe it. I’m just pissed.

“If MGK and Y/N are officially an item, why did she leave with Sam Merka?” Elvis questions.

“I’m glad you asked! According to sources, they’ve been very close friends since the start of TSL. In fact, the duo have taken many vacations together along with their co-star Penelope Glass.”

Cara turns down the volume and looks to me with a steady expression. “Is it true?”

I narrow my gaze at her in bewilderment. “What? No! There’s no way in hell!”

“Okay, just checking,” she lets out a sigh of relief.

“Never ever!” I add and change the station.

Colson Baker is everything I despise in a person. I’ve never hated someone so fast as I’ve hated him. Us together as a couple is impossible. It’s completely irrational.

_________________________________________________________

Later in the afternoon, Stephanie sets up a meeting for us to meet with Colson and his publicist. I had to drag myself to her office. My Fridays aren’t well spent in an office building with enemies. In fact, my whole day could be tarnished by this incident. The meeting room we’re all ushered into is freezing and I’m still in my sundress from earlier. Cara and I were never able to get lunch so I’m starving on top of being cold. The photos of us play in a slideshow on the meeting room’s tv. An endless cycle of false advertisement is how I see the photos. The media is selling us as something completely far from the truth. On top of everything, I’m in a meeting with the one guy in all of Los Angeles I can’t stand. Death would be less painful than the current situation. I tune out the debate between Stephanie and Colson’s publicist. He told me his name but my brain is so numb from the temperature in here I can’t recall it.

“Y/N!” Stephanie calls my name and I search for her around the room until I find her in the doorway with Colson’s publicist.

“We’re going to go make a few phone calls. You two will stay here while we handle the press.” I nod “sounds good.”

I send her a weak smile to charm her out of an apology for zoning out. She huffs and escorts Colson’s guy to her office so they can talk on speaker privately. I stand up from my office chair and stroll over to the windows overlooking the courtyard. I watch the cars zoom by on the street and businessmen and women shuffle in and out of the Starbucks below.

“If it means anything, I’m sorry,” Colson says quietly behind me.

I nearly miss it, he speaks so quietly. I lean against the wall, crossing my arms as I face him.

“You’re sorry?” I shrug, not really seeing his blame. “Why? It’s not your doing.”

I return my gaze to the chaos below us. I watch as people with office jobs travel about. I wonder if they’ve heard of me? I wonder if they like me or think I’m a stuck up actress? I shouldn’t care what people think, but it’s easier said than done. When millions watch TSL every week, it’s hard to ignore the wondering.

“If I hadn’t walked you to the car none of this would be happening,” Colson reasons guiltily.

I shake my head, finding humor in the situation now. The paparazzi can make nothing into a months long romance. A brief conversation outside a restaurant and suddenly we’re meeting each other’s families.

“We were only walking to a car. How could either of us have predicted the amount of attention that would come of us walking?” I justify, not to ease his mind, but my own.

My flicker over to the tv, I examine the slideshow of us. Examining the photos I realize it wasn’t all in my head, the way in which Colson was gazing at me is a tad bit gawk-like. Images of us walking to the car while I’m answering the paparazzi’s questions depict Colson glancing at me with what seems to be such admiration. A picture of when Cara calls for Colson comes up and I’m stunned by how we look. Even I appear to be in awe of him in return. It’s evident Cara is speaking yet neither of us react. We were so caught up within on another.

“I have one question!” I blurt out suddenly with my arms crossed I walk back over to the table. Just one and then I wish to put all of today’s events to rest.” Colson perks up and hums for me to continue. I point over to the photos on the screen “why did you look at me the way you did?”

Turning his head, he reviews the photos blankly and I wait anxiously for some sort of reason. “I’m not looking at you in any particular way,” he disregards my accusations.

I chuckle, amused by his horrible way of lying. “Lies!”

He’s thrown off by my reaction and I storm over to the TV screen to point it out to him.

“It’s clear as day to the press, the public and now me included. You’re clearly lost in some kind of thought! You were there, so was I and our friends! Say all the lies you want but you’ll never convince anyone.”

His jaw clenches and he avoids my gaze. He leans back in his chair, staring out the windows. “Colson,” I sigh, slowly approaching the table. “Maybe the truth could help the lies disappear! If we’re honest then maybe the press will leave us alone!”

He shakes his head low, letting out a brief laugh. “I highly doubt that.”

I have a thousand questions but I’m aware none will go answered. He’s a lost cause. I’m in this alone I guess. Turning my back to him I return to my position by the window. Observing the worker bees swarming around the spaces below. The sound of Colson’s chair rolling back comes from behind me but I don’t even shift. Out of the corner of my eye, I see his figure in the reflection of the window beside me. My attention remains outside. He won’t give me the time of day so why should I treat him any better?

“You wanna know why I looked at you the way I did?” His presence hovers of me and he feels like a wall surrounding me.

“Please,” I mutter a subtle beg.

 “I... I had this imagine of you in my head, pre-judgements. You’re supposed to be America’s Sweetheart, Little Miss Perfect! You told me you had been working for this for years, had drive and trails.” He confesses. “You’re not what I expected... It caught me by surprise is all.” 

My eyebrows furrow close, “So you thought I was just some pretty face, goody-two-shoes, ditz? If it’s because my image, my past, you said so yourself it doesn’t matter!” 

“No, no, that’s not it!” he runs his hand through his hair nervously.

Narrowing my eyes, I press further. “Why then?”

The door swings open and I straighten up before forcing a warm smile to my face. I step back from Colson before the person ever appears in the doorframe. One of Stephanie employees informs us that we’re free to go. Steph doesn’t want to keep me here all day and since I’m allowed to go Colson’s publicist is releasing him. I clasp my hand together, walking over to fetch my purse.

“Thank you so much!” I gush. “Have a good day and please tell Stephanie “thank you!””

The young intern eats up my pleasant expressions. “You too Miss Voss! Will do!”

The young woman shuts the door behind her and I return to the state I was in. Expressionless, I gather my belongings and Colson does the same. Checking my phone for any missed emails or calls I can tell he’s staring me down.

“Does it ever get tiring?” His tone is light, but I can hear the ounce of mockery beneath the surface.

My attention is locked on my phone as text after text pops up from Penelope. She’s more likely than not has seen all the articles and Twitter posts. I should call her and explain.

“Y/N!” Colson shout pulls my from my thoughts.

“Huh? Does it ever get tiring?” I restate his question back to him. “What exactly are we talking about?”

I slide my purse over my shoulder while stepping over to the door, leaving Colson behind. That is until he follows me.

“Your whole act.” He forces a fake smile and tosses imaginary hair over his shoulder. “The “happy go-lucky goody goody All-American girl?””

I scoff, eyeing him up and down. “You’re ridiculous. It’s not an act.”

I swing open the meeting room door, eager to leave here. My heels clink against the white shiny tiles on my walk to the elevators. After hitting the down button, I call up Blake now that I have some time to kill. She’s my oldest friend, I’m sure she sees right through all of the tabloids and is only checking in.

“Calling your boyfriend?” Colson mutters over my shoulder and I quickly move away.

“Don’t have one,” I answer plainly, waiting for Penelope to pick up.

He smirks and props himself up against the wall beside the elevator doors. I side eye him, all he does is smile all the time and he calls me out for acting so happy all the time.

“Can’t you find anyone else to annoy?”

He grins proudly, “sure I could. None would as entertaining as you though.”

“Geez,” I mumble under my breath.

I pace outside the elevators as I wait for one to arrive and for Penelope to answer. Classic of her to text me non-stop but not to answer when I call her back. The elevator doors open and I step inside, ready to get out of here. I hit the ground floor and Colson strolls in lazily not rushed at all. He checks the button and doesn’t add any. The doors shut then silence sits flat in the small space with us. My phone buzzes continuously, I check the name at the top of the screen.

“Frickin’ frackin’!” I clench my teeth together in a growl.

Colson’s eyes widen at my sudden explosion. Closing my eyes, I exhale to calm myself then bring the phone up to my ear. Smiling helps to fake enjoyment when talking to someone on the phone. Sometimes I can fool myself into thinking I’m not miserable during discussions.

“Finn!” I greet. “What’s new?”

My southern accent surfaces. I flip the switch whenever I speak to my family or friends back in South Carolina. I can’t have them thinking I’m not the same Y/N from Charleston. Colson eyes me with his eyebrows raised, surprised by my sudden transition. He makes fun of me in a whisper for my fake enthusiastic voice. I wack him on the arm and it only encourages him more.

“Hi ya Y/N, uh so ya prolly already know butcha face is everywhere along with this MGK fella...” Finn’s voice falters at the end.

I sigh and press my forehead to the wall. Finn asks me if any of what he has read is true and I instantly deny.

My tone goes timid, “who all knows?”

“Just us, Odelle, Greyson and Myself,” he assures.

A sense of relief rushes over me. I turn back around and Colson sends me a sympathetic look, it shocks me. Going from mockery to sympathy from him has my entire mood shifting.

“What ‘bout Momma or Daddy?” I ask, keeping eye contact with Colson.

“Nah, at least I don’t think they do,” Finn guesses. “I’m not entirely sure. Greyson is sayin’ they don’t. He’s the only one that’s home at the moment.”

“Heavens to Betsy,” I exhale deeply, looking up to the heavens. “Let’s hope to the high heavens they don’t. Thank you Finn.”

I go to hang up but he says one last thing. Bringing my phone back up to my ear I reply. “Sorry, missed that.”

My brother becomes stern on the other side, “do you and this guy spend tons of time together?”

I shift uncomfortably, preparing myself for the older brother advice I already see coming. “From time to time but I promise, we’re just friends.”

There’s a pause on his end, an unbearable pause. “I trust you Y/N,” Finn finally speaks. “It’s him I don’t trust. He’s not the best sort of guy. Ya’ll aint right for one another.”

I hope Colson can’t hear any of what Finn is saying. To keep him from becoming suspicious, I keep my replies indifferent. “Sure thing. Uh, talk ya later Finn.”

“Bye, talk to you soon.”

We hang up and I slip my phone into my purse.

Colson leans back onto the railing next to me. “Who was that?”

“My older brother, kinda overbearing,” I laugh nervously then bite my lip. My accent begins to subside again.

“I didn’t know you had a brother,” Colson remarks.

A faint smile appears across my lips thinking of my brothers. “I have two actually and an older sister. The order is Finn, Odelle, me then Greyson.”

Colson returns a kind and gentle smile. “That must’ve been nice to grow up with so many siblings.”

“It was.” I nod as memories flash across my mind. “Finn and Odelle were grouped together and so was me and Greyson since our age gaps are less.”

As we pass each level on the elevator there is a “ding.” Facing toward the doors again, I absentmindedly watch the numbers go down as we pass the levels. My mind wanders to the many memories I’ve made with my brothers and sister.

“Finn is about Sam’s age, so he likes to believe he’s almost a co-parent for me and Grey,” I describe with a pleased expression. “He’s the total opposite of Odelle.”

Colson genuinely shows interest, “how is she?”

“She’s a total wild card! We all joke that it’s every other kid. Finn and I are the rule followers. He was student body president, quarterback of the football team and still managed to graduate with honors. I’m nowhere near him on the perfect child spectrum but I’m supposed to be “America’s Sweetheart.” My parents eat that up. Then there’s Odelle, she’s the total opposite of Finn. My parents had to beg her to improve her grades so she could graduate. I remember being twelve, it was the middle of the night when I got up to get a drink. I went downstairs and saw her sneaking out of the backdoor. She made me promise not to tell our parents. I haven’t talked about it until today. There were days she’d fake being sick just to ditch school with her friends. By her senior year nothing had changed. She ended up graduating but my parents forced her to go to a college close to home so they could keep an eye on her. Her antics continued the entire time I was in high school. College for her was a playground. For some reason, I envied her. I still do. I suppose it’s because no one expects anything from her. She messes up, well, that’s Odelle for you. She causes trouble, just another day. For me, my parents have me up on a peddle stool. By the time I turned sixteen people out here started taking notice of me. When I reached seventeen the title of “America’s Sweetheart” popped up and from then on, I was longer a teenager. I had a role to play and an image to uphold. I could never make mistakes like Odelle. I have to be “perfect” constantly. Sometimes I feel like a doll, plastic. None of it is real.”

The bell rings for the floor. I comprehend the words escaping my mouth and snap back to reality. I revealed so much about myself while I was in that daze, private facts about myself that I’ve never spoken of before.

Straightening up and adjust my dress, I apologize. “I’m so sorry. I have no idea what came over me.” The doors slide open and I step out. “Good to see you Colson,” I rush out a farewell before speed walking towards the exit.

I mentally slap myself for all I confessed. If only Nicole found out, my head would be on a stick. My life, my background, every aspect of my being is supposed to be flawless. An All-American girl from South Carolina with a wholesome up brining is who I’m supposed to be. If word gets out that I’m not so perfect then… then I would be finished. My hand digs for my keys in my purse.

“Y/N! Wait up!” Colson jogs up next to me then steps in front of me, blocking my path.

“Colson, please....” I practically plead in a mutter, stepping around him.

He wraps his hand around my wrist, stopping me. “Let me buy you a drink!” 

Workers around us walk around in multiple directions like zombies. I wonder if they’re taking notice. Hesitant, I narrow my gaze at me. The reason we’re in this mess is because we were seen with one another.

“I don’t think that’s such a good idea,” I admit and release myself from his grip.

I only make it a few feet before he’s in front of me again.

“Fine, no to a drink! How about we go get some coffee? Or tea? If you prefer tea!”

His chest rises and falls rapidly, his desperation is evident. The reason behind is desperation is still unknown to me, along with the reason he looked at me the way he did last night. Who is this mysterious man who stands before me? So many questions I wish to ask but I can’t get passed his eyes. Puddles of crystal blue settle on a white canvas. Confused beyond belief, for a reason unbeknownst to me, I accept. Could be my curiosity is getting the best of me.

“Coffee it is,” I give in to his request.

He grins ear to ear and steps to the side so we can leave side by side. “Unless of course you prefer we get tea!” he suggests, sounding a tad nervous.

Honestly I like both drinks but I prefer coffee. He holds the door for me and the bright sunlight of California weather strikes me.

“Nah, I normally drink a cold brew with a shot of espresso,” I describe.

He winces and pretends to gag. “Ew! That sounds horrible!”

“It gives you a boost in the morning! Nice and strong!” I laugh.

“You’re nasty!” He waves his hands in disgust.

“Eh, you’ve called me worse,” I laugh, unfazed by his insult.

He chuckles, “you’re not wrong.”

Our laughing dies down a little as we stroll over to the Starbucks. I peer up at him with a side eye. When our eyes meet we begin laughing again uncontrollably.

Sweet as You

Author’s notes: I’m salty that the event will not give me Lucifer and Luke’s card so instead I’m replacing it with sweet headcanons about the essence of the datables’ kisses and what chocolates you’d give, plus a little bit about how you and Luke teamed up to make them! 

Content warning: food, chocolate, candy

Length: 2.4 K

Lucifer

You make a coffee bonbon for Lucifer. The shell is dark chocolate with two streaks of colour painted on—one in your favourite colour and another in his. The filling is an espresso ganache that highlights the bitterness of chocolate and coffee while ensuring the bonbon is never too sweet

Lucifer is both impressed with the flavour and the obvious care you’ve put into crafting this confection. He offers to prepare some drinks so you two can enjoy the chocolate together

Kissing Lucifer is being swept up in each other. It feels like passing by each other in castle walls, then hiding behind pillar to exchange impassioned kisses and whispers of love. The world might be continuing around you, but in that moment only the two of you matter

Lucifer feels clarity when kissing you. Everything else melts away and all that is left is the feeling of your lips and the warmth of your love. Your kisses contain an oasis and Lucifer finally feels like he can relax

Mammon

Mammon gets a fancy gold leaf bonbon that has a glossy shine. And to his delight you’ve gifted him liquor chocolate filled with an expensive Demonus that’s all the rage lately

Naturally, Mammon enjoys the chocolates because they’re fancy. However, the real reason he adores them is that they are proof that, to you, he is someone worth splurging on in both effort and money

Kisses with Mammon are messy and unexpected yet both of you feel like you’ve waited forever for this. The first taste of you isn’t enough, and Mammon becomes addicted pretty quickly. It’s a rush, like betting on a rolling dice or a flip of a card while on a winning streak. He feels like he’s losing all good sense yet so sure this is the right decision

His love for you is neither neat nor compartmentalized and neither are his kisses. It’s bubbling affection that he just can’t contain anymore. No matter how many lies he verbalizes, the blush on his visage and the way he greedily steals kiss after kiss says enough

Levi

You craft a chocolate treat based of a scene in TSL! There was a cute scene between Henry and the Lord of the Shadows where they eat chocolates, sharing one last sweet moment before having to part. You decide to recreate it by creating milk chocolate bonbons with a salted caramel filling, making sure to use a mold which creates the right shape!

Levi is floored. He knows EXACTLY which scene these chocolates are from, down to the page and line numbers. He simply gawks for a while and then proceeds to basically have a photoshoot. When he finally takes a bite, you can see the way his face lights up and it’s worth all the effort

Kisses with Levi are an adventure with ups and downs, bumps in the road, but a treasure chest at the end. When you first kiss him, he’s a blushing mess with brain working overtime to suppress his fight or flight instinct. But in spite of himself, Levi leans in and trusts you because no one treats him with this tenderness

His world is still small, aside from his brothers and Lotan, everything he loves could probably be contained in his room. But your kisses expand his horizons and maybe he thinks it’d be worth it to explore the world a little more, even if it leaves him vulnerable

Satan

You make Satan a combination of brigadeiros and mint discs for Valentine’s day! He enjoys that you’ve made chocolate confections but veered outside the classic bonbons. Satan likes the soft and chewy textures of the brigadeiros in contrast with the crunchy sprinkles and the unique texture of sugared mint atop dark chocolate discs

Satan happily opens the box of chocolate. He admires them for a bit and compliments you on their appearance before popping one in his mouth. He feels both loved and a little smug, Satan knows a bit about chocolate confections, enough that he’s certain you’ve put quite a bit of effort into this, which makes it all the more sweet

Lay on compliments about how he’s just as sweet as the chocolate, perhaps referencing a book he’s reading, and how all that work was worth it for his sake and you might get him blushing

Kisses with Satan are like browsing a library—the nostalgic smell of old books combined with excitement of discovering new worlds contained in pages. You’ve had more kisses with Satan than you can count, but even with that familiarity, you feel like you’re uncovering something new each time your lips meet

Asmo

Asmo knows the value of appearance so you ensure your chocolates look just as good as they taste. You make white chocolate disc in the shape of hearts and adorn them with sugared petals. Additionally, you create passionfruit bonbons with cute heart indents which look picture perfect.

Asmo takes a selfie with you while you each hold a chocolate confection. Sweets for your sweetheart!~ It’s cute. 

But then you bring up how you chose passionfruit for its refreshing taste, so its easy to continually eat the chocolates, because just like the bonbons you’ll never get sick of him! It’s such a small detail but it warms his heart and suddenly you’re trapped in a hug

Asmo’s kisses don’t neatly fit into any single category. He is sweet, masterful and practiced, playful and lets you take the lead, but he is always sincere in his affection to you. Kisses are one of many ways to reaffirm your love

His kisses are like eating an assorted box of chocolates. One kiss is light and flirty, the next is sensual and stroking desire, then another which is teasing and light while interspersed with giggles. Yet all of them leave you with a sweet feeling

Beel

You make Beel a big pile of semi-sweet chocolate bark with variety of toppings, one has freeze dried raspberries, another has almonds, some use hellfire peppers, it’s a whole buffet

Beel plants a kiss on your forehead and thanks you so much for the gift! He begins to dig in to the treats you’ve made and has an endearing content grin the entire time he wolfs the chocolate down. He does his best to remember to offer you a bite too!

Many of Beel’s kisses start off as innocent fondness and true devotion. He loves you and you can feel it in the way he holds you close to him and devours all the affection you give. 

But many of his kisses turn hungry, because he can never get enough of you, the taste of your lips, your sweet moans, the way your hands roam, the puffs of hot breaths, they all never fail to leave him wanting more. His kisses feel satisfying and fulfilling, because you get to indulge to your heart’s content

Belphie

You make Belphie coconut oil chocolates! They’re so easy to eat, he doesn’t even need to chew. You have to be careful to not melt them when making and handle the individual morsels, but it’s worth it all in the end

You surprise him by popping the chocolate into his mouth! You’re lucky he trusts you, if it was anyone else he’d probably have spit it out. It’s easy to bite through and melts to spread a pleasant chocolate taste across his mouth.

Probably muttered something under his breath, but he makes sure to thank you for the gift too, even if he is a little blasé about it. At least these ones aren’t dusty

Belphie’s kisses are lazy little things with missed lips and little laughs, huffs of air, and that smirk that makes you want to kiss him stupid until he can’t pretend to be relaxed. Random pecks in the morning, between naps, before bed, but if you ever ask why, the answer is “just because”

Occasionally your kisses are salvation and desperation. No life, no relationship, no person is without turbulence. Your hot breaths prove you’re alive and breathing, the love your pour into him as your lips meet prove he is worthy of affection, and he doesn’t intend to let go

Diavolo

You make Diavolo white chocolate matcha bonbons! The inside is filled with a smooth matcha ganache that’s a brilliant shade of green. The shells are painted with the rough silhouette of your favourite flower. The matcha flavour helps balance out the sweetness of the white chocolate, making a delicious treat

Diavolo is delighted by the gift and compliments the taste! But he also enjoys the story that goes with it when you tell him your thought process, how matcha has become popular across the world in the human realm, and what human traditions are attached to the gifting of chocolates

He’s already plotting what he wants to give you in return, but for now he’ll enjoy your heart felt confection while making sure to give you a piece

Kisses with Diavolo are like fireworks. No matter how many times you see them, they never lose their brilliance. Even if they aren’t always in the sky, they bring you joy each time you see their bright colours and sparkling streaks

Diavolo intends to indulge you in kisses. Even the short ones, before meetings, after class, the domesticity tickles his heart. But Diavolo’s preference leans to long kisses where the two of you meld together. Everything is you, your unique scent, the way his name leaves your mouth, the way you hold onto him, your taste alone makes him want to dive deeper 

And why stop at one kiss? He should have another for good measure, maybe two, three, four—well now there’s no point counting so you might as well continue

Barbatos

You make strawberry shortcake inspired chocolates for Barbatos. The bonbon shell is made with ruby chocolate with the filling consisting of whipped white chocolate ganache and strawberry preserves. 

The several components merge together to make a sweet dessert and Barbatos appreciates how you use the novel ruby cocoa. Barbatos out of everyone knows how much work must have gone to create these bonbons and makes sure to both savour it and compliment you

Kisses with Barbatos are like sharing a secret. You get special access to a gateway into him, and in these kisses you create a special place just for the two of you

His kisses are almost dangerously good, you swear kissing didn’t always feel this good. But his intensity, the way it’s only the two of you, the mere privilege it is to have him whisper sweet words between gilded kisses, it makes it worth all the wait

Simeon

You make Simeon earl grey tea truffles! You coat the truffles with milk chocolate to create an easy to hold shell. Then you have stripes of dyed white chocolate — one in your favourite colour and another in his. 

Simeon thinks it’s adorable at how your chocolates have become a matching couple item with the coloured stripes. He thinks it’s lovely how you made him tea flavoured chocolate, given how many fond memories the two of you have which centre around a cup of tea

Simeon kisses make you feel treasured. He peppers your face is soft kisses, he cups your cheek gently, and the adoration in his eyes almost overwhelms your heart

His love is all encompassing and you’ve never felt safer than when you’re in his arms. Beautiful lashes fan his cheeks, contended sighs, and underlying warmth. Simeon feels like home and with his kisses, you’re falling in love again 

Solomon

You know Solomon likes cupcakes and poisoned apples so you decide to combine the two! You make him an apple cakepop coated in coloured white chocolate to look like a poisoned apple!

Unlike his cooking, your sweet tastes delicious and leaves the eater happy. You make sure to use granny smith apples to retain some tartness and Solomon happily eats the confection. 

Unfortunately, your sweetheart has also made sweets to express his love for you. Don’t let Solomon give you chocolates back or use a trick to dispose of them! It is not romantic to spend the day puking or sick in bed. Or hey, maybe true love is eating it knowing that it spells out nothing less than doom

Kisses with Solomon feel like an exploration. You get to know him bit by bit and each kiss feels like proof he is wiling to vulnerable with you. Some trips result in airy kisses, others feel like rocky days at sea filled with passion and you’re in danger of running out of breath, it’s always an adventure

Sometimes, you swear you can feel his lips form a smug smile. Other times, he approaches you so gently and the touch of hesitancy, like he can’t really believe he got you, makes you want to shower him with enough love to wash away all doubt. He holds you tight, to him you are warmth and intimacy, and he never wants to let go

Bonus: Making Chocolates with Luke

When making chocolates with Luke, it is best to be sweet with him, guide the angel with soft suggestions without sounding like you’re babying him. Generally, Luke is pretty amendable but he can have a stubborn streak if he feels like he has something to prove

He makes for chocolate confections for Barbatos, Simeon, Micheal, Solomon and you! It’s so cute to see him so excited when he thinks about how happy everyone will be when they receive the gift

You two go through many spoons to check if the chocolate is tempered, rapidly tapping the chocolate to see if it has that snap and sighing when it blooms

By the end of it, you two are a mess with chocolate smears on your apron, but you have nice assortment of shiny chocolate sweets

[beelspillowpet]

If your requests are open and your willing to, would you be able to do the brothers reacting to a trans MC? 👉🏻👈🏻 preferably female to male, but either way is fine! Sorry if your not comfy with this type of request >~<

Anon, just because you were afraid that I would turn down your request, I am going to PROVE to you how much it doesn’t bother me I'm going to do the 7 brothers AND the side characters. Because you BETTER BELEIVE we have a cast of supportive people!! Yessir!!!

I myself am the twin sister of my late twin brother, who was also FtM! I’ll be using his memory as inspiration, if you do not mind? Thank you for requesting this!

~

Lucifer

At first he presumed you were just not girly. He didn't really mind your behavior or way of dressing, so long as you got your tasks done on time and were on your best behavior.

When you cut your hair and stopped wearing that nail polish (despite Asmo’s pleading) he still thought nothing of it. You wore pants, and started trying your best to drop hints, and thankfully, Lucifer isn’t an idiot.

So what you’re telling me is that we’ve made you uncomfortable when referring to you as a woman? If that is the case, MC, then we would be more than happy to refer to you as anything you request. You only need to say the word.

He is dedicated to making sure you’re happy and comfortable here. He and his brothers may be demons, but they aren’t heartless. They were once angels too. He goes through the process with you, if you were shaky or unsure of what to do in the past. If you want HRT, surgery, need a new wardrobe, he and his brothers will be the first to provide. Whatever to keep you happy in your skin.

Mammon

Oh. Honestly speaking, he’ll still love you regardless of what form your body takes. He liked the way you looked, but secretly he can’t wait to see how you’ll look after you transition.

Before we even get to that point though, it takes a lot of hint dropping for him to get it. And even then, he has to go and ask the others what you’re trying to tell him. Of course he gets picked on a little bit for it, but once he figures it out he’s really happy you were comfortable enough to tell him.

Hell, he might get a job just so he can help you be able to afford all the things you’ll need to properly transition. Some of the details make him blush quite a bit, and if you’re uncomfortable with touches or any signs of affection during your process of transitioning, he will politely refrain from making his human uncomfortable.

He’s taking you to Majolish and you are going to get your ENTIRE wardrobe redone. Courtesy of The GREAT Mammon! You should feel grateful that he’s working this hard to make you happy. I mean c’mon, he LOVES you! He can’t wait to love you more after you’ve become the man you always were deep down inside.

Leviathan

He does notice that you act different from other women. Not that he minds it, not at all. His Henry is still the same old Henry. Just a little bit different. He’s a little bit different too, there’s nothing wrong with that. Right?!

It’s when you start preferring to be called Henry as opposed to your birth name, do the cogs start churning in his brain. He would have suspected at first that maybe you just were very good friends with him and loved TSL almost as much as him.

He’s seen a few heart-warming anime about it. Specifically one about a girl becoming a boy, and the struggles he went through while attending school. The title wasn’t too important to him, but now that he had a reference for what you were dealing with, he was a bit happy. He just wanted to wait until the moment was right to bring it up to you. Perhaps his Henry was really a Henry after all!

When the moment comes, he’s proud to say the least. He throws his arms around you happily, and promises to be there by your side every step of the way. He’s not exactly rolling in money, but an Otaku finds a way. The Lord of Shadows is your best friend ever, and he can’t wait to see the before and after pictures of your full transition!

Satan

It started with a book you read with him. He didn’t fully comprehend your situation, but he knew you didn’t act like normal girls. It reminded him of a character in a book he read a few weeks ago. The guy didn’t really act like a girl.

While sweet and thoughtful, this character didn’t hit the nail on the head in some ways. When talking over the book with you, you explained just as much to him. The energy was there, but it was backwards for you. He picked up on it immediately.

So what you’re telling me is, you understand this characters struggle with themselves, and can relate to it. But something about it is backwards? A little smile appears on his face as it fully dawns on him. MC, I think I’ll be able to assist you in any way you need.

With Satan’s wonderful connections across the entire Devildom, it wasn’t long before you were getting some of the best treatment possible. The prices seemed a bit scary, but he assured you everything was being taken care of behind the scenes. If you needed to worry about anything, it would be the tiring, long process to come with transitioning. He’ll be sure it goes relatively smoothly for you, though!

Asmodeus

Oh he gets it immediately. Darling why didn’t you just say so in the first place?

He’s dragging you back to your room, rambling the entire time about how he can’t wait to take you out and go shopping. He puts together a devious little page to gather up donations and the like to support your transitioning. His fans would be HONORED to pitch in, right?

In the mean time, he stops pampering you with makeup and his other routines that you used to tolerate for the sake of being cordial. He still pushes for the nail polish, since gender is simply a social concept and he’s ready to crush it into dust any chance he can get. But it’s not about him, it’s about you.

Soon your room is painted a new color, your dresses and skirts and frilly outfits are tossed out for more appropriate attire for your sex, and he’s taking photos for his Devilgram page to show everyone how beautiful you are, even while going through the long process!

Beelzebub

You and Beel got along fabulously. He seemed astonished that a female was interested in all these manly habits he indulged in. He heard from some of the guys on his team that you were interested in playing Fangol. As evidenced by how you always showed up to his practices and games, no matter if they were home or away.

He figured you were just a really big fan of sports. But then you even started working out with him, and giving him suggestions and tips on how to get even more out of his workouts at the gym. You were really passionate about this.

Let’s not kid ourselves, he probably does not pick up on any of the signs. You have tot ell him, and you have to tell him firmly. You are a man, just like him. When you do tell him, however, he’s eager to help you transition. Imagine having another guy in the house who loves Fangol as much as you do!?

He isn’t much aside from emotional support through the transitions, and he coddles you when you have those bad days. If you want to eat something, he’ll rush to the kitchen and cook you a full meal before you move an inch. You’re allowed to lay in bed today. Let him handle the heavy load of work for you.

Belphegor

Oh wow, look at that. He picked it up almost immediately.

I mean, there’s no way a girl would act the way you do, right? Dress the way you do. Be the way you are. He doesn’t care though, and just wants you to be happy. If that means you transition into a man, then hell, he’s on board with you.

He may be a lazy bastard, but he knows when it’s time to get up and work hard to get something. That was what he was like as an angel, anyways. Working at Hell’s Kitchen is the worst, and you hear him complain about as much, but he smiles and assures you that it’s all for a good reason.

His final gift to you to apologize about the Incident, is money. Now at first glance it seems like something Mammon would do. Probably. In reality though, this is the money that will be going towards your HRT. He doesn’t know if you want to fully transition or not, but if you want that top surgery, he can help pay for that too. He’ll do anything to make sure you’re happy and healthy in your own body.

Diavolo

It really is a house of men, isn’t it?

He’s glad though, truly, that you were comfortable coming to him about it. Don’t bother ever opening your wallet to pay for any therapy, medication, or surgery. As the Prince of the Devildom, he would be more than happy to get you doctors of all sorts to help you. No questions asked!

It might be a bit overwhelming at first, but the news is exciting. If the Prince accepts you so readily, it gives you hope that other demons will as well. Pretty soon you’re going through your processes, and Diavolo couldn’t be happier to see it happening.

You really is a wonderful guy, and he’s glad he’s getting to experience the changes you take in your life. 

Barbatos

To say he didn’t suspect this would be an understatement.

Ever silent and respectful though, he never spoke a word of it. You are probably uncomfortable with people assuming it, even though it’s true. An insecurity that humans seem to deal with, although unfortunate.

However, when the news is broken during a meeting between you, Lucifer, he, and the Prince himself, a smile creeps on his face.

He’s happy to hear that you are so comfortable speaking about this sort of thing. He knows it must be tough, having hidden your true feelings for so long. He prepares a delicious tea with small treats, to celebrate your coming out, and transitioning.

Simeon (and Luke)

Oh dear. God loves you, still. Don’t worry about this. He doesn’t see you as an imperfection.

They assures you constantly that you have their full support, and that will never change. You are not broken, you are not unwanted, and you are not strange. You are a regular trans man in their eyes, and they will defend you on that.

Simeon almost takes on a fatherly role to you, wanting to make sure everything goes as smooth as possible. He probably has done a bit of research in preparations for your transition, and all the nasty little side effects that come with it are worrying him.

However, once it’s all over, Luke and Simeon are glad you came out on top. And my, what a handsome man you make!

Solomon

He figured, but didn’t want to assume. I mean, who the hell is he?

He’s got a few spells for this though, make it quick and painless. One wave of a wand and POOF! Woman no more!

Oh but that’s probably dangerous. The shifty bastard. You would much rather do it the regular way; and not have your insides and outsides shifted around by some crazy sorcerer.

He doesn’t protest much, but that does suck. Hehe. Oh well. You can count on him to support you through it all!

Obey Me! One Master to Rule Them All! Headcanon #6 (Submission)

This is an awesome Headcanon prompt submitted by this wonderful anon. Thank you so much for your submission because this was a really good one!

So, you, as MC, are obsessed with Otome games and they basically taken over your life. (Like me with Obey Me!... but that’s neither here nor there...) but how do the demon boi brothers and the undatables react to your favorite... obsession... (I’ve been dating some men... with pixels and a den, and they’re good at relieving my... tension~.)

The bois~

Lucifer: Just does not understand why you are so infatuated by such a trivial little game on your D.D.D. Everything you could ever want was right here, in front of you... right next to you, and you want to someone who isn’t even real? Lucifer gets secretly jealous of you checking your phone on dates with him, or even when you’re on your free time... Like hello? Avatar of Pride right here... he sees the amusement it brings to you, but it only makes him try harder to be the one who entertains and loves you.

Mammon: He is jealous right away, first of all, time and attention that could go into him, goes into a silly game? And Grimm that you have going into the game as well, not going to him outright?! The scandal, the deception, the disgrace... “I thought I was your first guy... not some... weirdo electrical guy on your D.D.D.!” He is quick to make fun of you for liking that stuff, “You know you’re just as bad as Levi!” but does a complete 180 when you start outright ignoring his teasing, or avoiding him while playing your otome games. He’s like a fox, having the noisiness of an annoyed cat, and attention seeking behavior of a dog. And constantly trying to steal your things... mostly your heart, but you know how it goes.

Leviathan: Finally does not feel alone anymore when he finds out you love otome games as well. You and him spend hours upon hours playing similar otome games and having discussions, debates, and even arguments about your favorite dateables. You both keep yourselves updated about the dating routes, and how to get the best endings of their routes. Because you both are gamers and like to get the best experience! Gamers 4 Life!

Satan: It took a bit for Satan to come around, but it wasn’t until you introduced Satan to visual novels, and said how Otome Games were similar to them, and how many different endings there were, that he started getting interested, and got into them himself. Satan is more than happy to try different routes and different personality traits of the “protagonist” and even has a few favorites that match with some of your own. Satan adores the books that let you choose your adventure. And he does the good and bad endings both so easily... it’s scary how it seems that he has apathy for how he treats the characters, but to Satan, it’s another choose your own adventure that comes with visualized characters and a bit of voice acting~.

Asmodeus: The most loving brother gets into them when he sees how cute some of the people on their are, and he wants to see if he can love them all. He gets only the best endings for everyone because Asmo is Charm School™️. He also gets a few ideas of flirtations from the games. But what’s most fascinating to him is that everyone is different, they charmed different from real life, and it’s difficult cause Asmo’s charm doesn’t affect Digital characters, so it gives him a challenge to really work for someone’s reciprocated attraction.

Beelzebub: Beel... oh sweet baby Beel... he just started watching you play your otome games while he was eating snacks one day, and suddenly he was hooked on the choose your soap opera. (I Headcanon that Beel gets into soap operas at times while at he eats, and listens to audio novels while working out.) He always gives you advice about who to choose because of his own preference, and what he sees from the game’s drama. If he were to get into Otome games himself, he would only play one or two routes because he would see more red flags with others than the one or two routes he has his sights on.

Belphegor: He half gets into them because you play them while he sleeps and you cuddle together, so it’s a mutual agreement. When he’s awake, or half asleep, he always gives you advice about what dialogue option, or direction you should to go in. It doesn’t matter which route you choose, cause they are pretty much all dateable for a reason, so why not? “But you also need your sleep, so come sleep with me when you’re done for the time being...”

The besties~ (one contains minor Spoilers so read at your own risk)

Diavolo: Team Interested, you show him your game during lunchtime, and Diavolo is intrigued, he asks where he can get this game, and he gets into it. Of course, Barbatos is always there to help keep Diavolo’s newest obsession from interfering with student council work. Lucifer is not happy that you got Diavolo into your silly Otome games, now there are three Levis in his life... how could you? You even started a secret group chat of you, Diavolo, Levi, Satan, and Asmo called “My Boi-tomes” where you discuss your favorite games and critique others. It’s a good time.

Barbatos: He is interested when Diavolo gets interested, he is able to see possible futures, and thus knows how to make sure that Diavolo doesn’t get upset with a choice he made in one of the games you so eagerly introduced him to. He is appreciative that Diavolo has a new hobby and a circle of friends that are into his new hobby. He just wish he would stay focused on his work.

Solomon: Wise sorcerer Solomon... his one weakness is Otome games. He is happy to finally have someone to geek out with, and he’s happy that it’s you. You exchange stories about the bad choices you both made in other games to make sure neither of you make the same mistake the other made. Solomon sometimes hangs out with you and you two send energy and gifts to each other, and you invite him into the My Boi-tomes group chat, but he would rather share the obsession with you and only you.

Simeon: Oh he helped write a few of your favorite Otome games and is delighted to see that you enjoy his work. His writing is just so well made, and gives so much dimension to 2D dateables, and you are just so invested in the story, you have to get Simeon’s autograph. To be honest, you shouldn’t have been surprised that he had a hand in the TSL Otome game that you recently got into... but it’s still a bit starstriking.

(Not gonna do Luke cause... yeah no...)

The Obey Me! Boys and a Blind!MC

**MC is considered to have NLP (No Light Perception) and is classed as having total visual impairment / total blindness.

**O&M (Orientation and Mobility) skills are skills that aid in safe and effective travel for the blind, which includes cane skills and independent travel.

Lucifer

He is incredibly surprised to have pulled someone like you into the Devildom, especially considering how dangerous the Devildom is to the able-bodied human. He gives you a double-take and glances back at Diavolo once or twice to make absolute sure that is the right human. Diavolo gives him a thumbs up. Lucifer can already feel a stress headache.

Likely the most courteous of his brothers in consideration with your disability. Unlike his brothers, he does not ask inappropriate questions (ex. Can you see this? How about this? How about now?) and is content to leave things as they are.

The first week, nearly everything you do gives him a heart attack. Your cane misses a fire hydrant, and you end up stubbing your toe on it. You forget where the table ended when you pick up something, and you smash the back of your head against the underside. You leave something in the middle of your room, trip and fall in the middle of the night while cursing, and within moments he is bursting through the door. By the end of the week, he is a sleepless, exhausted mess.

As one of the prominent members at RAD, he is responsible for what documents you receive and in which format you receive those documents. You have to explain to him that simply placing Braille where the letters would normally be on a worksheet isn’t exactly as doable as he thinks it is.

Being the proud bastard he is -- and after developing feelings for you -- he is somewhat perturbed that you prefer his idiot-brother Mammon to be your guide whenever they go out to places. He does take the pleasure of explaining visual cues of the places they go, however.

Mammon

He is both surprised and disgruntled that he has to take care of a human that isn’t able-bodied. Assumes that you’ll be even more trouble than your worth. Does a few things (i.e. offensive, stupid things) like wave his hand in front of your face and do weird things in front of you just to see if you’ll react. Given that his complete lack of subtlety and the fact that you can very much feel his arm waving in front of you, you scare the living hell out of him by grabbing his arm.

As brash and rude as he was, however, he does an okay job of orienting you to the House of Lamentation. But that might also be due to the simplistic layout of the halls. The places that you really need to know -- like the path to your room from the door and the path to the kitchen and dining area -- are easy to memorize thanks to his efforts.

Like Lucifer, nearly every blunder you make gives Mammon a heart attack (for fear that Lucifer will kill him if you die). He doesn’t really understand what can and can’t kill a human, but it doesn’t take long for him to realize that slipping and falling face-first into carpet isn’t exactly life-threatening.

As he begins to develop a crush on you, he becomes more and more possessive about who gets to guide you around. He was your first guy and first guide in the Devildom, after all. You eventually feel comfortable enough with him as a guide to fold up your cane while you walk with him, trusting him completely.

Leviathan

He expects you to look like one of those blind girls in anime and is surprised to see the near-complete lack of trademark features. You have no cataracts or anything of the sort that would promote the appearance of milky-white eyes, and you’re rather capable on your own once you become acquainted with the layout of a place. Because of this -- and also because he is a massive weeb -- you can feel the weight of his stare when you do the most habitual things. You call him out the fifth or sixth time you catch him watching you take out the trash.

It takes a little while to realize the extent of your blindness. Your proficient independence skills, good O&M (orientation and mobility skills), and spatial awareness skills throws him off for a bit. He is only convinced when he accidentally makes you walk face-first into his door.

Despite your rocky introduction, you two eventually bond over anime. Levi puts on the audio description when it’s available. When it isn’t he’s more than happy to explain the visuals to you, especially when it’s his fortieth time rewatching TSL.

As he develops a crush on you, he begins to make more and more excuses for you two to watch anime together, even if it isn’t new or the kind that he would want to watch. He takes note of your likes and dislikes, taking the approach much like he would a boss in a dungeon, and copes with his feelings that way.

Satan

Next to Lucifer, he’s definitely one of the most respectful in the group regarding your condition. He takes it upon himself to read as much as he can about your condition and blindness in general, his initial interest more scholarly than anything. The first few weeks that you know him are filled with questions like: So, can you see light? How much light can you see? Can you see figures or shadows at all? What was it like when you had more vision?

He feel regret after threatening you when you refused to make a pact with him. Aside from the fact that he just threatened a blind (and in his opinion) helpless human, he also severely damaged a friendship between the both of you. He makes it up to you in his own way afterwards by acquiring a number of audiobooks and Braille books for you to read.

Given his insatiable thirst for knowledge, he is also very, very interested in how you can read Braille and how you take tests without sight. After learning that you sometimes prefer requesting a scribe to take longer exams, he immediately tries to sign himself up as a student scribe at RAD. As you are one of the only students at RAD with a visual impairment -- and perhaps the only one -- you are surprised and also not surprised to see Satan waiting in the exam area for you, your exam evidently in front of him.

As his feelings develop for you, they take the form of finding reasons to take you out to library dates, accompanying you to various stores for accessible equipment, finding and acquiring various reading materials for you, and generally just inserting himself whenever possible under the pretense of being a fellow book-lover.

Asmodeus

He’s preoccupied more with the fact that you have such a plain taste in clothing than he is about your blindness. Even after standing by the principle that comfort is ultimately more important than “making a statement”, he takes it upon himself to get you at least enough clothing for a decent capsule wardrobe. Cue being dragged around the Devildom’s boutiques all day as he dresses you up in various outfits, undresses you (his favorite part), and ultimately entertains himself the whole time while you suffer.

He’s fascinated by the tactile guides that you use to do your makeup (on the rare occasion that you bother to do so). After watching you a few times, he gets you up to date on the latest makeup trends and does his best to explain the visual effect of each. Your interest in his hobby makes him happier than he would admit. It sparks a routine of doing your beauty regimen together almost every night, with Asmo being more than happy to make you his guinea pig for products.

Makes you touch his face right after learning that you’re blind, which is an awkward experience. Your first reaction to pull your hands back and startle offends him, as he (wrongly) believes that that’s what you do when you meet a blind human.

As he develops feelings for you, he gets somehow even more touchy, much to the irritation of the rest of his brothers. While he never quite makes the first move in the way of taking you to bed, he does take as many opportunities to touch and explore you as much as possible, no matter what the circumstance may be.

Beelzebub

Despite that fact that he would very much like to eat you, his impression of you as a cute, helpless little thing deters him from doing so. Given his impressive height and stature, he sees you as smaller than you really are and treats you accordingly. He takes the time to redirect you when he sees you wandering in the halls, often without many words or any explanation as to why, and he tends to act as a human shield for you in RAD to prevent you from being caught up in the crowd.

When Mammon isn’t there to be your guide, he’s definitely your second choice because of his sheer size. Similarly, you eventually become comfortable enough with him to fold up your cane when he guides you, as your impression of him has devolved from “big, scary demon” into “scary but gentle giant”.

Stands up for you when other students begin making fun of you for your disability / wondering if you’re only faking, given that you don’t fit into the able-bodied person’s idea of what a blind person should look like. Beelzebub catches wind after a few weeks, and after a rumor of certain hospitalized demons, the bullying ceases.

Connects with you through food. While you’re pretty sure that having no sight doesn’t make much of an impact on your ability to taste food, Beel seems to think otherwise. He tends to hand-feed you whatever it is that he’s eating at the moment, often surprising you. You figure it’s Beel’s choice of love language, given that he that he tries to feed his brothers anything and everything when they feel upset.

Likewise, he often chooses to team up with you on dinner duty to both make things easier for you and to sneak more food because you can’t see him. When you feel less servings than there should be in the pot, however, you know damned well who ate the rest.

Belphegor

Upon first meeting you, he’s very confused as to how exactly you found his prison in the attic. Then again, it’s not like he cares exactly who lets him out of his prison. Because of that, he thinks it’s much easier to fool you into thinking that he’s human.

He feels extreme remorse after killing you, knowing fully that he used your trust against you and that he took advantage of your disability. It takes a long time for you to get comfortable enough to be even with the same room with him, given that he quite literally murdered you in another timeline. When he does somehow manage to regain your trust -- after many attempts and efforts on his part -- you two end up falling asleep together.

Becomes just as protective over you as Beel is, essentially taking notes from his twin. As his feelings develop towards you, he shows it in his own way: namely by allowing you to touch his massive tactile collection of comforters, blankets, and pillows. How exactly he stuffed so many bedsheets and pillows into one room is ... impressive.

Note:I am aware that this does not speak for all blind people because there are varying levels and very, very many causes for blindness. These are based on my own personal experiences.

Un-Recorded Moons Ranking

Before we get the Kaguya-hime no Koibito musical later this year, I’m going to be doing 2 Moon rankings! One of our recorded Moons, and one of the ones that haven’t been officially recorded (so it’ll all be down to fan-taken clips for that OTL) With that being said, here’s my ranking of the un-recorded Moon Actresses! Now obviously, none of these actresses have been officially recorded in a full musical, so my knowledge on them is slim! This is just my opinion based on what I’ve seen/heard! DISCLAIMER this is all my personal opinion and I love ALL the Moon actresses!

5. Kanae Yumemiya

Why is Kanae so low, you may ask? She’s the Moon we’ve seen the most for all the Super Live actresses. You can definitely hear her strain in her voice trying to make it higher for Usagi. And personally I’d just prefer if she talked in her normal speaking voice. It’s really SO pleasant! If you’ve seen her interview at Anime Expo, you’d know. She has a very nice voice, both talking and singing. I just wish she wouldn’t try to squeak her lines because it just sounds a bit... grating.

4. Natsuki Koga

A true enigma to the Myu community. Natsuki was never featured in any promotional material (Team Heart/Paris) and didn’t get to have any shows outside of the Tokyo Preview (Team Paris/Team America) so really, all we have is pictures of her at the end of the show and backstage. I am fortunate enough to have heard her sing and see her practice moves on her Instagram. She is SO talented. The Super Live is slept on as a whole, but they REALLY slept on Natsuki. She has so much talent in her and was never truly utilized. I hope one day footage of her performance gets released because OMG I can only imagine how good she was!

3. Shina Tanaka

SHINA IS PRECIOUS, OKAY? Absolutely adorable. From all the fan-clips I’ve seen of Shining Moon Tokyo, she is SO cute playing Usagi! Now both The Super Live and Shining Moon Tokyo are very caricature-like performances, so she’s very animated and adorable. Her smile just warms your heart and like all SMT and TSL actresses, she’s a good dancer on top of it! Her only solo that we’ve seen was lip-synced so I really can’t tell how her live vocals are, but she’s just nice. I really enjoy all the clips I’ve seen of her!

2. Tomomi Kasai

Being a former AKB48 member, Tomomi is SO talented. She can dance, she can sing, she can act. And on top of all that, she’s a huge Sailor Moon and Sera Myu fan! She’s done covers of La Soldier and Densetsu Seitan. While La Soldier is a song featured in The Super Live, Densetsu Seitan is not and it’s REALLY nice to see new Myu actresses pay tribute to the older songs! Tomomi’s cry is CHILLING. I kid you not. I WISH out of all TSL performances, hers got recorded and released. Her talent is on a whole other level and I really hope one day we get to see it!

1. Reona Samejima

OKAY Y’ALL, DON’T @ ME FOR PUTTING REONA HIGHER THAN TOMOMI. But like... Reona gives me so many Satomi vibes it’s uncanny. Like Shina, we don’t get to hear her live vocals, but her solo in Moonlight Densetsu is SO nice. She’s so adorable and not in an over-acting way that Shina is. I don’t know why I love her so much, but I always looked forward to seeing her Moonlight Densetsu clips on Twitter. xD But yes, I really really wish we had more Reona content, I have a feeling she could’ve been one of my all-time faves. ;-; I hope you all enjoyed! Feel free to sound off and share your opinions as well!

that time The Swift Life directly interacted with us not once or twice but five times

thought i’d take a stroll down memory lane back to nearly two years ago, when i started noticing that taymoji gifts being given out by the main app account included captions that seemed to mirror kaylor topics and events.

for reference... one of the objectives of the TSL app was to collect “taymoji” stickers, through blind packs that could be opened after you charged a gauge by liking people’s posts. (for a visual explanation, you can check out my taymoji guide. download the ppt to enable slide animations.) some taymoji were ridiculously hard to get at random... there were 653 taymojis in total, and for a period of 7 and a half months The Swift Life account gave out some of the rare ones as gifts on their feed. there were 128 rare/super rare taymoji options.

interaction one: 2018/8/1 Puzzle Heart..

after showcasing some interest in the taymoji gifts during june and july 2018, making posts, and crafting a theory of what they all could mean, i had seen a through line in terms of the overall message being conveyed.... but was unsure of any of this was real because, you know 🤡.

so i posted here on tumblr for the taymoji goddesses to send me sign, almost as a joke...

and the TheSwiftLife account gave out a puzzle heart with the flavor text “put the pieces together”

interaction two, 2018/8/29 Rabbit…

following a week of ttb using the emoji rabbit to welcome some anons into the kaylor fandom, TheSwiftLife gave out a rabbit, which has the flavor text “fell down the rabbit hole” and was captioned in the post as “hop to it!”

interaction three: 2018/9/12 Pixel Art Heart..

things felt surreal when the rabbit gift happened, so i figured i’d test breaking the fourth wall. i challenged them to a puzzle: i asked TSL here on tumblr to show me a sign that proved they knew me and saw me.

i said there was one taymoji out of them all (of which there are 653) that represented me. i had envisioned the pixel art heart taymoji of the New Romantics pack, as it says in my profile here that i am a pixel artist… i assumed if TSL wanted to respond to my request, they’d poke around my blog and make that connection.

13 days after i made the post,

they gave out that exact one. in response, i mentioned what a lovely birthday present this was, as it was coming 13 days before my birthday (i’m born on 9/25)

incidentally this is why i freaked at the pixel art heart ring that she wore in the ME! video... i procured one myself, as a memento of this crazy time...

interaction four: 2018/9/21 Birthday Balloons…

between the pixel heart and this next gift, some stuff went down and i grew suspicious that kimby could be spearheading the TheSwiftLife account and/or a popular moderator account (...this didn’t end up being entirely correct, oops 🤡... ). i private messaged my guess to taylor on TSL (there was a “secret message for taylor” function on the app) assuming whoever was on the other side could read it.... i think that got lost in the mail lmao. without being particularly clear, i vagueposted here on tumblr “i know who you’ve been, and i take it you want me to share?”

The next gift that TheSwiftLife gave out were a set of red balloons from the Mine pack,

with the caption “Speak now if it’s your birthday this month” ... which it was, and i had mentioned so when the pixel art heart was given out.

interaction five: 2018/10/1 Umbrella…

i felt cleared to post my theory! but even so, i was very hesitant... it felt, again, unreal.

so, i put up one more test… i asked here on tumblr something in the form of a riddle. i designed a question, of which could be perfectly answered by the flavor text of one taymoji in particular. knowing the full range of taymoji possibilities, i picked the flavor text of a taymoji that had never been given out, and a double-rare one (which weren’t given out often)

i posted my question: do you have my back even if it rains down on me? and the next gift given out was

the very umbrella i expected, which has the flavor text “Don’t worry. I’ve got you covered!”

~~~

this span of time in particular (not limited to, but especially) is why i have a hard time not believing kaylor is real. lyrics... symbols... can be analyzed and interpreted in a ton of interesting ways, referencing many fields of culture and academia... and i like all that... but for me personally, it’s these fourth wall breaks that really get to me. why would taylor’s team let any of this fly, that is, why would they allow a bubbly and vocal kaylor experience this if kaylor wasn’t true? it is also why i’m just not one to give up on sticking around... despite everything that has happened. there was just too much effort being put in and i owe it to them to stick around and find ways to be useful so long as they’ll have me 😘

i encourage everyone to look through my blog archive from August 2018 to February 2019 to see how it played out! sorry i’m too lazy to link everything in this post... it won’t take that long to look up on my archive though and i think it’s more interesting than just this post. there’s some great clownery that happens of which i am extremely proud 🥰

as i said at the time, some epic sh*t was positively afoot, my darlings.

[lostopx]

My Brazilian MC and her relationships with the demons pt. 2

For part 1:https://lostopx.tumblr.com/post/616317467421179904/soooo-im-very-bored-with-this-quarantine-and/embed

OBS: I never did this to offend anyone or any religion

The first part was more about Yume’s life. If you don’t wanna read part 1 I’ll say the basics here: she is a Computer Science student and the reason for her exchange in Devildoom it’s to study the technologies there, especially the D.D.D. She is half Japanese and loves animes, mangás, books, cosplays, games, and makeup.

Lucifer

Very rocky at first. She got angry because of his comment about stay alive and Yume hates to feel underrated, although he was SO FUCKING RIGHT;

She is sassy and sarcastic with him (Satan loves it);

When she found out about Belphie, Yume got so mad! But she couldn’t say anything about it, so, a form to “punish” him was making some pranks with Satan or Mammon;

At the same time, she appreciated his devotion to his family;

But Yume will NEVER admit it;

Yume likes to provoke him about it;

Until the day she figured out about what he did for Lilith;

She hugged Lucifer and improved her relationship with him;

They have conversations about how to “educate” Mammon (like a couple with kids);

She likes to listen to TSL soundtrack with him.

Mammon

So you see, that’s where the trouble began;

That smile.

That DAMNNED SMILE.

He was rude with her when they met, that is why she decided to join forces with Levi to make Mammon pay him;

Then, Yume discovered that he was just a masochist tsundere;

Mammon helped her to get a job as a model at Majolish and she never forgets who helps her to get money;

Sometimes Yume helps Mammon with his schemes (when is worthy to join) at the same time that she tries her best to avoid problems, especially with the witches;

She highed her money because Mammon once tried to steal her;

As a middle daughter, she knows how is like to suffer bullying from her brothers, so, she always defends him;

Almost always;

You know, Levi is her weak point. Probably because thanks to him she got a pact with a very powerful demon;

So, if Mammons owns money for Levi, Yume’ll use her powers to make her demon pay;

Despite that, they are a good team to get money. The difference is that Yume saves, Mammon doesn’t;

They are scheming to steal the money of a Brazilian politician and use to help her people;

Yume made a promise to herself that if Mammon doesn’t try to steal the money she’ll kiss him;

Maybe that won’t happen, but maybe Yume’ll find another excuse to kiss him;

Her hobby is to make Mammon blush.

Leviathan

Oh Boy;

He is her weak spot even when Mammon was involved;

She has a huge crush on him;

At first, she read, researched and watched TSL just to get closer with Levi;

She couldn’t care less about the competition;

But Levi doesn’t notice, because of his skepticism and insecurity;

Also, Yume is a disaster;

Because his attitude towards her drove her crazy;

He was such an idiot for calling her normie;

SHE HAD TO WIN THIS COMPETITION

And she won;

But Levi got angry and become a demon;

When Mammon asked Yume to run she obeyed him;

But she couldn’t stop her mind to think about how beautiful his demon form was;

If he wasn’t trying to kill her, she would make out with him;

Maybe the reason that she was never afraid of him was because of his form 

The main reason that she accepted the pact was to become closer to him;

And it worked;

Every night after studying she came by his room to play video games and watch animes;

She tried to teach him Japanese, but Levi was too nervous to learn;

Because Yume was so cute speaking Japanese;

At the same time, his heart stopped when she screamed her mother tongue;

She tried to pay Mammon to get Levi’s picture after a shower;

Mammon refused to give her;

So, she hacked his cell phone;

Yume flirted with him, but Levi always ignored her (but he always blushed);

Until the day she cosplayed Ruri-chan;

Levi couldn’t deal with it and stopped work;

After all, Levi was calm around her;

And maybe one of the reasons was because of her connection with the Orisha Ossum;

Ossum was associated with calm waters (and love and fertility).

Satan

He liked her since the moment that Yume was sarcastic with Lucifer in front of him;

They had a secret Fanclub of Lucifer haters;

Satan loved her sarcasm;

Yume loved Satan’s room with his books because it makes her remind of her littler sister;

They used to discuss their favorite books, but luckily they never fought for a character or ship;

Satan loved to listen to her stories about her hometown, especially about the religions;

He also loved to learn about some Brazilian authors and started to read them;

Yume took interest in detective books thanks to Satan: for her, it was just like a math problem;

They got fun while solving Grisella’s murder;

They both love cats;

Yume calmed him down;

She also has a crush on him;

SHIT.

Asmodeus

Honestly, Asmo was the first person that understands her;

At least when it comes to physical attraction;

Both couldn’t care less about the gender;

They clicked because of her spiritual connection with Ossum (Oxum), the representation of love on Candomblé;

She also has a huge crush on him but ignores this feeling because Asmo is the avatar of the lust, after all, everybody has a crush on him (that's Yume excuse);

His narcissistic personality annoyed her;

But Asmo was her confidant;

And her partner to buy clothes;

But she got angry with him because of Helene;

He understands her after a long conversation about feminism and her past relationships;

They made out once after some hallucinating flower on Diavolo’s garden;

Yume thinks that he’s pretty and laughs a lot with him;

They use to have some beauty sessions;

Asmo and Yume loved to go out on Brazilian clubs and have drink competitions;

He always won... Until her last day on Devildoom (*cough cough* Lesson 19 *cough cough);

They slept together once;

Yume once stole the girl he was interested ;

Asmo paid back using his charm power;

She flirted with Asmo back;

Asmo knows about her feelings for Levi but doesn’t understand why his heart hurts if he thinks about this.

Beelzebub

He was so sweet with her;

His stories about Lilith and Belphie made her heart melt... And also think about her brothers;

She was so sorry for him because his situation on the Celestial War was terrible;

Her wish is to protect him;

They are training partners;

Yume has some videos of Beel training and Mammon figured out;

At first, he got angry;

But then, he asked her to help him to seel;

Yume refused;

Yume would give the world to give some happiness to Beel.

Belphegor

Didn’t trust him at first;

After Beel tells about his twins, Yume figure’s out that is Belphie and go to confront him;

She got angry for what Lucifer did;

She couldn’t stand Beel suffering;

After all the demons were sleeping Yume went to the attic to bring some food to Belphie and read a book for him while he’s sleeping;

So, when Belphie hugged and stabbed her, Yume’s heart was broken;

That treason was so hard for her;

It took a while to forgive;

She accepted the pact with Belphie to show her ability to forgive.

Conclusion: Yume is in love with all the brothers lol. Maybe I wirte a fanfic about it if I have a public lol.

I really appreciate your reviews and support, and I’m always so happy to see familiar names from previous chapters return. It means a lot!

You can read individual review replies below! :)

BeautifulMonsters: Ahh, thank you so much for your many kind words! I very much appreciate your support! Your reference to Lotor as Captain Marvel made me grin so hard; bless your heart. Thanks again for your review!

UltraFirelily: a;sdljfdl;fj I’m so glad you enjoyed the chapter, even if it moved pretty quick into an action sequence, haha! Thanks so much for always returning to this story; it’s such a great thing to see a review from you. Thanks again for the support!

PetulantPanda: Thank you so much for reading and review as always! And wow, I feel humbled by your very kind words. I truly hope to write a story that people can care about, even if canon didn’t turn out the way people wanted. I’m so happy you enjoy this crazy story! Thanks again!

Brookelyn_eliza: Ahh, thank you, dear! I really enjoy positive Lotor and Lance friendship interactions, and so I had a lot of fun playing with that here, and I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed that scene as well! Thanks again for reading and reviewing even as TSL moves toward a little more soul-crush; it means a lot!

Star-gazer: Yas, I so wanted to get rid of that pointless time dilation in canon, guh! I always felt it was a cop-out from what could have been really interesting political drama/Voltron taking responsibility for its actions. And eee, I’m glad you like a Lotor with agency too! He’s such a fascinating character to explore. I love all of his facets, haha. Thanks for reviewing and your ongoing support!

Gothlotor: Oh dear, I hope you found all of your marbles, haha. ;) I’m so happy that you find such enjoyment from this story. Thanks again for your support!

Anything_past_or_present: Huzzah! Thank you for your kind words! I’ve been really wanted to drop this other shoe for a while, haha, and I’m glad you enjoyed the drop! I appreciate all of your ongoing support with every chapter; it really means a lot! (Omg this message kind rhymes, haha.)

MalevoLiss: Wow, thank you for such high praise! For as much as canon Lance bothers me, haha, I really do believe that his character had a lot of potential to bring the team together. And to become a true friend and supporter to the rest of team Voltron. I’m hoping to expand on that in this story. As far as Lotor goes, I’ve been dying to give him back some agency haha! Bless you for hanging in there with this story. I really appreciate your support!

NickyADon: You think TSL is a roller coaster ride? That’s amazing, haha! I love roller coasters! Thank you for your kind words on my writing. It really means a lot to hear, haha. And I don’t work in the entertainment industry, but maybe one of these days, I’ll get to do something in written entertainment that’s not fanfic-related. XD (I can dream, right?) Anyway, thank you again for your reviews!

jayfeather555: Bless you for your review! And thanks for your kind words! They mean a lot!

TiffanyBlue: VLD as Shakespearean tragedy? Yeah, it felt pretty rough, haha. At least with, say, Romeo and Juliet, the story lets you know in the prologue they’re going to die. With VLD, Allura’s death was definitely a huge blindside for me—I did not expect them to pull that. But ahh thank you for your faith in me and my writing! I hope to continue living up to your expectations! And thank you so much for your ongoing reviews and support!

RogueSareth: Thank you for your review! I’m so glad you’re still enjoying the story!

notEriX: LOL, thanks for reviewing/screaming about Second Law! XD

garbage_dono: a;lsdjflfj Ahh, thank you dear for your kind words! I really like Honerva as a character and hope to flesh her out more as time goes on. And I LOVE messing around with what kind of quintessence powers this version of Lotor may have, haha. I’m so happy to hear that you’re still enjoying the story. Thanks again for all of your support!

Baau: Thank you for the hearts! <3

Miss_Lily: Bless you for your review! Things might get a little shaky in the upcoming chapters, but I promise not to pull an s8, haha.

LordMortem: Ahh, thank you for your patience with my slow update times! I really do hope to get better and faster at that in the future. In the meantime, thank you again for your support with this story!

Qwennie_simon: Thank you for your review! I really appreciate it!

Smallblaa: Oh, I totally agree! Seasons 7 and 8 were such firestorms of inconsistency, haha. But I’m so happy to hear you’re still enjoying this story! Thanks so much for your ongoing support!

Hiccstridlover14: Bless you for your ongoing support of this story; I really appreciate your reviews!

Pinkychan: Thank you for your review! Lotor’s definitely got some troubles with the paladins now, but I appreciate you hanging in there with the story! Thanks again for your support!

Nagisa94: Ahh, it was your birthday back when I’d updated with ch11? Wow, happy belated birthday, haha! I’m so glad you enjoyed the last chapter. Thank you for your support and reviews!

Connor: Bwahaha omg, “return to sender.” Bless your heart, that made me smile. Thanks for your review!

KairaB: Thank you for your kind words! VLD canon confirmed that those with quintessence like Honerva and Allura can go into minds, so I don’t doubt that this version of Lotor can do so as well. *cue a brow waggle.* I appreciate your reviews, as always, and hope you’re doing well too!

VeronikaR: Oh, I so want Allura and Lotor to have a good heart-to-heart too! Thank you so much for your review!

TsuyuRyu: Thanks for being patient with all of these long delays between chapters lately! I hope to get better at updating quicker. And ahh, I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the latest chapter! Sometimes I worry I try to tackle too much within one chapter, haha. But about that battle between Lotor and Sendak…you might be onto something. XD Also, no worries about spelling mistakes; your English is great! Thank you again for all of your support!  

etienne18: I would love for them to make up too, haha. These characters kinda write themselves, so we’ll see what happens and what they’ll let me do. XD Thank you for your reviews!

Stillmadaboutpetra: I’m sorry to hear you’d been sick when you read last chapter! I do hope you’re doing better now. And oh my goodness, yes, team Voltron is not so good with information or politics in general, haha. Even though VLD is over now, thank you as well for continuing to read and review!

Rosenthorne: Wow, thank you for your high praise! It really means a lot, and I’m so happy you enjoyed last chapter. Thanks again for your review!

GrapeIcies: Thanks for your reviews! And lol, he gonna find out some more too on his own. *sips milkshake.*

Little_Sarafina: I’m so happy to hear you enjoy my characterizations in this story! Thank you for your support and reviews!

MystiTrinqua: Ahh, you caught my poor attempts to drop in some humor in the midst of the angst and suspense, haha. I’m glad you enjoyed it! I try to balance angst and comedy as best I can. XD Anyway, thank you so much for your review!

KiwiMargarita: Aww, don’t worry, dear! This story’s just getting started, and Lotor’s just getting his agency back. But he appreciates your sympathy, haha. <3 Thanks for your review!

Geeeny: Bless you for your delight in Softor! And loll, I had the same reaction when I wrote the first chapter of this story and then got attached to the concept. So there I was, just wanting to get an idea out of my head, and it started expanding, and I went, “Oh, no. Quiznak.” XD Anyway, thank you for your support and reviews!

Espanholina: Thank you for all of your reviews and supports! I really appreciated reading your thoughts and am so glad to hear you’re still enjoying it as chapters go by! Thanks again!

Pearbellini: Thank you kindly for your review and ongoing support with this story!

Nicole Johnson: And bless your heart for reading and reviewing this crazy story, haha. I really appreciate it!

Berrybanana: Wow, thank you for all of your reviews! That really means a lot! “I am not an isolated system” is a phrase that’s very near and dear to my heart, because it’s so easy to feel like an isolated system in this world—I wanted Lotor to not have to be one either! I’m so happy to hear you were still enjoying things as you made it to the last chapter. Thanks again for reading and reviewing!

Dasha: Oh wow, an acquaintanceship between Lotor and the Blade of Marmora? I like the way you think! Thank you as always for reviewing!

Amanda: Ahh, thank you for continuing to read and review! Yes, the show’s questionable handling of the tension between Alteans and Galrans made me wince sometimes, haha. And it really seemed to suggest that beneath Lotor’s stated pride in his Galran blood, he has a serious issue with it, to be willing to attack his own. I hope to explore that a little more as time goes by. And I really do believe that the true Princess Allura would be able to grow past her own prejudices as well! Anyway, thank you again for reviewing!

Powdered_sugar: I cry in public sometimes too while I write this story, haha. XD As far as social media goes, you can always reach me here on tumblr. I would love to see what memes you have to share! Thanks again for your reviews!

LeseLille: Bless you for enjoying Fang & Toothy Lotor too! I love this sassy, sharp boy, haha. Thank you for reading and writing all of your reviews; I really appreciate it!

Graciebuns: Oh my goodness, your reviews are always such a blessing to me. I really appreciate your thoughtful reflections on this crazy story! Thank you for all of your kindness and support!

TheCelestialUnicorn: Ahh, I think I hear you crying! I would give you a blankie and a Lotor to cuddle if I could! (And yeah, s8 broke my heart too—even as it continues to inspire me to write the Lotor and paladin interactions we never got in canon, haha.) Thank you for your review!

Jediclarinetist: LOL, I will try to keep working on this story. So far, so good! I have a full outline and a much clearer plan for where I would like to go with it. In the meantime, thank you so much for your review and support!

CreamcheeseBagel: Thank you for taking a chance on this wild story of mine, even though you’re skeptical about Voltron stories in general! I really appreciate your kind words. And ahh, I imagine Allura could really make Lotor do a double-take if she were to use her powers to make herself taller or stronger, haha! Thanks again!  

Kitani: Ahh, thank you dear for you support on both VLD and DP! It really means a lot! I might write slowly, but I’m usually cooking up something to post, even in the silence, haha. Always feel free to reach out to me here on tumblr if you’re ever wondering the status of something. Thanks again for your review!

Mutedtempest: I could never forget about TSL, haha. I do hope to continue this story for a long while yet and see it through to its completion. Your ongoing support of it really means a lot to me. Thanks again!
