The Brothers + Dateables & Luke react to MC owning a cat named lucifer
A/N- To attempt to avoid confusion, the demon Luciferā€™s name will always be capitalized, while the cat luciferā€™s name will never be capitalized.
~
ā€œNow,ā€ Diavolo said, obviously nearing the end of his speech,Ā ā€œDo you have any more questions, MC?ā€
You nod,Ā ā€œIs my cat up there all by himself?ā€ you ask,Ā ā€œI donā€™t want him to get lonely, and without me he wont have anyone to feed him.ā€
The men, no, the demons in front of you stared, all obviously dumbstruck. You had been ripped out of your home, brought to a strange place, and told you were to live here for a year, and your first thought was of your cat? What a strange human you were.
ā€œWe can arrange someone to take care of your cat,ā€ Diavolo said, smiling wide, but your face fell at his words. Diavolo seemed to sense your discontent as he spoke again,Ā ā€œOr we can arrange for your cat to be brought here?ā€
ā€œYes, please,ā€ you spoke almost immediately.
Diavolo called for a demon named Barbatos, telling him to go to the human world to retrieve your cat. He disappeared then reappeared in a matter of seconds, your cat laying comfortably in his arms.
ā€œOh, lucifer,ā€ You cooed, taking your cat away from Barbatos, kissing the catā€™s forehead.
The hall went silent once again, before someone, the demon they introduced as Asmodeus, spoke up,Ā ā€œHoney, thatā€™s Barbatos.ā€ He said, a slight chuckle laced within the words.
Confused, you glance back up at the hall of demons, you point to your cat,Ā ā€œNo? His name is lucifer.ā€
Lucifer
Can't decide if he's confused or insulted.
He's confused because, who the hell would someone name a cat of all things after a demon
and he's insulted because WHO THE HELL WOULD NAME A CAT AFTER HIM?
He's one of the strongest Demons in the Devildom, much stronger than a mere housecat, the insinuation that he, Lucifer, avatar of pride, shares anything in common with a cat has him fuming.
Of course, he shows none of these emotions outwardly, keeping his face stoic as always.
And any one of his brothers who dare joke about this cat's name will be hanged from the ceiling in a matter of seconds.
Is fairly annoyed with their shared name in day-to-day life, and not just because it's insulting.
But, many times a day, Lucifer'll hear his name called through the halls and, when he goes to investigate, one of his brothers is cooing over the damned pun intended cat.
Will eventually get used to lucifer and will definitely be seen cuddling with him.
Is like the dad who insists he doesn't want a cat, but as soon as he gets one they're inseparable.
At the end of the day, he loves that damn cat.
Mammon
Laughs out loud at the revelation that the cat's name is lucifer.
Until he realizes now he has to look after the human and the cat.
Will complain about it in typical Mammon fashion, but he warms up to lucifer about as quickly as he warms up to you.
Buys him a bunch of cat toys when he has the grimm, and loves to play with him
especially with a laser pointer.
Also loves to cuddle, but always acts very tsundere about it.
"What is it lucifer? Oh, of course, you want to cuddle with the Great Mammon."
Will either steal lucifer from your room at night, or sleep in your room to cuddle with him and totally not you, of course, but you should be honored he's even sleeping in your room.
Leviathan
Thinks it's hilarious as well.
Though he prefers anime, Levi is well versed in other human media, especially classic Disney films, so, because of Cinderella, he's well aware that lucifer is a popular cat name in the human realm.
That doesn't make it any less funny, though.
WILL NOT allow lucifer into his room.
He has too many expensive figurines to risk it
Plus, he doesn't want to risk Henry 2.0 getting hurt.
Will only play with, pet, or cuddle with lucifer if he initiates it.
"He probably doesn't want to be pet by a gross otaku like me," as if cats know what otakus are.
Will, at some point, sew lucifer a costume that looks suspiciously like what his older brother tends to wear.
He may or may not have been hanged for that one, but it was totally worth it.
Satan
Like Lucifer, Satan is conflicted.
On one hand, cat! He loves cats, he wants to pet this cat all day, and give him kisses and cuddles and love.
On the other hand, Satan would rather his soul be ripped apart than give love to something named after Lucifer.
Will try his hardest to completely ignore the cat's existence.
Has to leave the room if lucifer comes in because he can't trust himself to not pet him.
Is like this with lucifer until he sees him respond to the name luci as well.
After that, you cannot separate Satan from lucifer even if you tried.
Spoils him rotten.
The two are often found reading together in the library, Satan leisurely petting lucifer.
Fights with Mammon at least once a day for lucifer and always wins.
Goes on long rants about how cat lucifer is much better in every way than demon Lucifer.
Asmodeus
Another one who thinks it's hilarious.
Definitely thinks lucifer is cute but hates all the shedding, so he usually keeps his distance.
Like Levi, Asmo doesn't allow lucifer in his room.
Will constantly complain about fur getting all over his clothes.
Has had to buy more lint rollers in the first year you spent in the Devildom than he had bought in the last century.
Constantly posts pictures of lucifer on his Devilgram because, despite being a furry monster, he is just the cutest little kitten around.
Beelzebub
Thinks the name is a bit weird but accepts it pretty quickly.
It's just a name, after all, lots of people who are very different share names.
lucifer's food has to be hidden from Beel because he can, and will, eat it.
"It just smelled so good, and I was so hungry."
Apologizes by buying him some luxury cat treats that took all of Bee's willpower not to eat on the way home.
At first, he won't interact with lucifer unless lucifer approaches him.
Beel is so big, and lucifer is so small, he doesn't want to crush the little cat.
But with enough time and reinforcement, Beel will pick lucifer up himself for some much-needed cuddles.
Before Belphie comes down from the attic, Beel'll bring lucifer up to their room at night when he's feeling a bit more lonely than usual.
Beel will invite you up to his room as well.
Belphegor
Finds out about lucifer after everyone else, due to the whole, being locked in the attic, thing.
Hears Asmo trying to coax lucifer into a good pose from down the hall.
"Oh lucifer, cutie pie, you gotta look at the camera."
Is surprised that Asmo is still alive talking to Lucifer like that.
Is even more surprised when he turns the corner to find Asmo talking to a cat, not his eldest brother.
Thinks it's hilarious, but Lucifer is already over it so teasing him about it doesn't do much.
Won't actively seek out lucifer's attention, but will gladly nap with him.
Beel continues his habit of bringing lucifer up to their room for cuddles when Belphie returns, so the three of them usually end up in a big cuddle pile.
Bonus points if he brings you up too.
Diavolo
Thinks it's very amusing.
Laughs about it, probably for a bit too long.
He can't help it, especially because he knows Lucifer is most definitely a bit upset about it.
Will tease Lucifer once or twice about it, but will ultimately leave it alone.
When he visits the House of Lamentation, he'll give lucifer a nice pat, hello, but won't go very far beyond that.
Barbatos
Read lucifer's name tag while he was collecting him from the human realm.
Wasn't surprised in the slightest because nothing ever surprises him
Is definitely excited to see everyone's reactions to his name, and is not disappointed.
If given the chance, he will spend hours brushing lucifer's fur and pampering him
but doesn't get the chance to do so often, if ever.
Solomon
Has had a cat named lucifer in the past.
I mean, he's lived hundreds of years, it's not out of the realm of possibilities.
Named his own cat lucifer because he thought it was funny, and the humor hasn't faded since.
So he's very amused by this new lucifer in his life.
Will unabashedly cuddle and play with lucifer whenever he's given the chance.
I mean, this lucifer reminds him of his own cat, so he becomes pretty attached pretty quickly.
Whenever he visits the House of Lamentation, he'll hold lucifer until the very last minute he possibly can, and will be pretty sad when he has to leave.
Will joke about stealing lucifer, may actually try to steal him.
Simeon
Like Levi, Simeon is pretty well versed in human media, so the concept of cats named lucifer isn't new to him.
Still finds it a bit funny nonetheless.
Tells Michael right away.
Likes cats well enough, and, when he's in the House of Lamentation, will seek out a few pets from the kitten
but he doesn't venture to the House of Lamentation too often, so he never grows too close to lucifer.
Luke
WHY? WOULD YOU NAME A CAT? AFTER A DEMON?
There are so many better names for a cat!
Like whiskers, or oreo, or simba.
Is genuinely confused, and maybe even a bit concerned.
He's afraid you were consorting with demons before coming to the Devildom and that's why you named him lucifer.
After his brief stay in the House of Lamentation, Luke is absolutely in love with lucifer.
Plays with him constantly.
Wants to pick him up, but doesn't know how to.
Luke will end up getting scratched eventually, but Luke forgives him.
Bakes lucifer special cat treats and hopes you'll let him feed lucifer one.

What are the reactions of the demon brothers to MC's pet bunny who gives bunny kisses to the brothers?
Aww, this is so cute! šŸ„ŗ
The Demon Bros with MC's Pet Bunny
Lucifer
When he first sees MC's bunny he just groans. He has to take care of a human and a bunny now?! Why doesn't Diavolo tell him these things?!
He just sighs and takes a moment to make peace with the fact that he'll just have to buy bunny food for the next year... Right...?
NOPE. Turns out taking care of a bunny is much more work than it seems, as MC explains to him. Great...
So uh... Yeah, safe to say that he has nothing but burning hatred for this bunny at first. Stop causing him so much more work dammit.
But honestly, who could conceivably stay mad at a bunny for long? They're so round and soft and fluffy and adorable. Even Lucifer, the almighty himself, isn't immune to a bunny's charms.
Eventually, the tiny little thing grows on him. He never lets any of his brothers see, but he'll occasionally slip the bunny a little treat or two, and sometimes he'll set the bunny on his desk while he works so he can reach over and pet her occasionally. And one time when he was sitting on the couch while his brothers were away and he was so stressed out to the point that he was almost tempted to bash his head against a wall, the little thing came up to him and just??? Puts her tiny little paws on his foot??? And looked up at him with those big round eyes, nose twitching and ears perked??? Almost like she was concerned for him??? Oh, he's in love. Now every time he's stressed out like that, he seeks out your bunny for comfort.
But then??? One day??? The bunny??? Gives him little bunny kisses??? Oh, he melts. This man is fucking putty. He's weak.
Please, this man loves your bunny. But of course, he never shows it around his brothers. And he rarely shows it around you. It's just a him and the bunny thing. No one else needs to know.
Mammon
The moment this man sees your bunny for the first time he's in love. Love at first sight is real, my dudes.
But she's just so??? Small??? And round??? And fluffy??? And cute??? How could you NOT love such a thing, honestly?
He still complains when he has to take care of you, but he's still really excited about your bunny.
This man,,, spoils the hell out of your bunny. He's constantly smothering her with love, and he constantly gives her little treats and gives her carrots and lettuce and any little snacks that she likes. And he lets her up on the couch and he holds her in his lap. He's adopted your bunny. That's his bunny now.
And when the bunny gives him little bunny kisses? He's dead. His heart spontaneously combusts right then and there. He didn't think he could love this bunny any more than he did, but then it happened. Please, bunny, you're going to be the death of him.
He definitely doesn't let his brothers see how much he loves this bunny though. He knows they would endlessly hound on him for it.
Leviathan
Honestly? He's definitely not very fond of your bunny when he first sees her. Sorry, but he's much more privy to reptilian and aquatic animals. Land mammals aren't really his thing.
They're just so... Weird to him, honestly. Those big weird eyes, the fact that they're completely covered in fuzz as if they're a moldy piece of food, their weird nails and their weird little noses. They freak him out.
So yeah, definitely not a fan of the bunny. He avoids her at all costs. Every time the bunny comes near him or touches him in any way, he's immediately in his demon form and leaps to the other side of the room, moving faster than anyone's ever seen him move in his life. Get that thing away from him-
His brothers find this so damn amusing. Especially Mammon. Mammon constantly pulls pranks on Levi that involve the bunny (though, of course, bunny-safe pranks, he doesn't want it getting hurt-) and teases him relentlessly about it.
One day you go over to Levi and gently try to convince Levi to at least try to bond with your bunny. It takes a lot of convincing and bribing, but he finally agrees. So you take him over to the bunny and sit down in front of her with him. Levi is shaking like a fucking leaf as you grab his arm and hold it out to the bunny. He jumps and lets out a small yelp as the bunny steps forward to sniff his hand. And he's whimpering and shaking when the bunny moves even closer to him and???? Climbs into his lap??? He's he is frozen with fear at this point. He doesn't know what to do, MC, help him. When you tell him the bunny likes him, he just really shook. It likes him??? A yucky, gross otaku like him???
And then, when it gives him bunny kisses???? MC has to explain what it's doing but when he understands he's just??? In shock.
There's no way he could hate the bunny after that. He finds solidarity with the bunny after that.
Satan
Satan is a cat person, through and through. However, this absolutely does not mean he'll stick up his nose to other furry, four-legged friends. Quite the contrary, he likes them too. Make no mistake, cats are and always will be his go-to, but that he still likes other animals too. He's flexible with his love.
So, safe to say, when he sees your bunny, he gets quite excited. Are you gonna help him annoy Lucifer, little girl? Are you?
He's also really excited to use all of his reading knowledge to help take care of the bunny. He knows exactly what the bunny needs and helps you pick out the things that would be best for her.
Sometimes, when he's reading, your bunny will walk up to him and, without looking up from his book, he'll reach over and gently stroke her ears. Though he has to keep the bunny out of his room because she loves to nibble the books.
He doesn't really care about letting his brothers know he likes the bunny. He's not embarrassed by his love of animals.
Asmodeus
He adores your bunny. She's just so cute! Though don't put her on him, it'll get hair on his new outfit!
This man takes so many Devilgram pics of and with this bunny. His fans love her! And he even gets cute little outfits for her! And he grooms her soft fur and gives her cute little bows! One day he tried to give her a bath, not knowing the dangers. Luckily, MC and Satan managed to stop him before it was too late. Please don't bathe your bunnies in water unless your vet tells you to, it's very bad for them
Seriously tho, this man gives your bunny some little bunny spa days. He pampers your bunny. Asmo, please, she doesn't need her nails painted, she's a bunny. And did... Did you seriously put cucumbers on her eyes??? She's gonna eat them-
But when she gives him bunny kisses? Oh, she's so cute, oh my goodness! He absolutely has to get as many pictures of this moment as he can! It's just too precious not to post all over Devilgram! His fans are going to adore this!! And he was right, too, as it ends up being one of his most popular posts.
And he's never been shy about showing his affections toward you around others why would he be shy about showing affection to your bunny?
Beelzebub
When he first saw her, he may or may not have thought about eating her-
But don't worry, he managed to resist.
Honestly, he doesn't really mind the bunny too much aside from the occasional thought about eating her. He never really pays much attention to her at first except when he's really hungry.
But as he gets closer to you and starts spending more time with her in turn, and he comes to like her. She's really cute. Just like you!
Sometimes she'll come up to him while he's eating and he'll drop her the occasional leaf or carrot piece. And she really likes to crawl into his lap and just peek out at everyone. And he really likes to touch her soft fur. Sometimes the bunny follows him around. I think she feels safest with him out of all of the brothers. Which... Fair enough, honestly.
And when she gave him bunny kisses? Oh, the little large pure boi was so happy and excited. MC, look, she likes him!! Are you looking, MC?
He's never been the most secretive when it comes to his feelings, so he doesn't really mind showing affection to the bunny around his brothers.
Belphegor
Haha, he's in the attic what are you talking about-
Nah, nah, jk, he still sees your bunny after he's out of the attic.
And honestly, he's chill with her. He literally doesn't care that much.
Though he does like how soft her fur is... Do you wanna be one of his nap buddies, little bunny?
Apparently, the answer is yes because whenever Belphie is taking a nap, she hops over and makes herself comfortable beside him. Hey, he's not complaining one bit. She's soft and that's all that matters. Actually, whenever the bunny wants to sleep, she wanders over to Belphie and settles down beside him. She seems to see him as just as much of a good nap buddy as he does to her.
And when she gives him little bunny kisses? Honestly, he's more surprised than anything. He does think it's cute, sure, but he kinda just blinks at her a few times in surprise. Then he chuckles a little and pets her head.
And this man couldn't possibly care less about showing affection towards the bunny around his brothers. He gives zero fucks.

That took way longer to write than it should have. It probably would have been done faster if I had the ability to not procrastinate šŸ˜”

Ranking the HxH guys in my Simping Tier: Countdown
Note: This is just for fun and lame-ass humour. You are free to like anyone in hxh and this tier doesnā€™t reflect how great the character is. Itā€™s just a ranking based on how much I simp for them.Ā 
14. Meruem
Okay. Thereā€™s a reason why Meruem is at the last list. Heā€™s an ant. Heā€™s not even fully human FML. Canā€™t believe people wanna fuck this teenaged mutant ninja ant. Canā€™t even say those people are a furry because this ant has no fur. Itā€™s a no for me.Ā 
13. Illumi
The Illumi simps are gonna hack me for having him too low. I find him cute and has really nice hair that can be for shampoo ads... but his eyes... it covers 70% of his face. Itā€™s guppy eyes. Itā€™s like he wore those coloured contact lenses that enlarges the eyes.Ā 
12. Shalnark
OKay. Shalnark is cute. Heā€™s really one of the most good looking guys in the series. However, I donā€™t know why but his personality is kindaĀ ā€œehhā€. Heā€™s a little psycho who controls people with his phone, but somehow his personality is overshadowed by a lot of extreme characters with Hisoka. Also, I try not to get too attached to him because of what happens in the current arc.Ā 
11. Kite
Okay. This is weird but... I find Kite more attracted when heā€™s a red-headed female ant right now. Okay. I know I went all likeĀ ā€œMERUEM ISNT EVEN HUMANā€ but female Kite LOOKS human. She has freckles and all that. Itā€™s real cute. But Iā€™d say heā€™s a little lower because he doesnā€™t really have thatĀ ā€œoomphā€ personality so-
10. Pariston
Now, talk about a character with FABULOUS presentation of himself. Pariston shows himself off with extravagance. NOW, thatā€™s a personality. Heā€™s like one of those celebs that are just so extra like Lady Gaga that itā€™s amazing. I know heā€™s underrated in the simping world, but heā€™s essentially kinda like Hisoka (who has a big simping fandom), only he prefers to play with peopleā€™s minds rather than fight people.Ā 
9.Ā Tserriednich
You might be wondering, why the fuck is he here? Okay, first of all, he reminds me of Hannibal who is by the way, charming. And yes I mean it in the Mads Mikkelsen AND the Anthony Hopkins way. Makes me wanna his Clarice but Iā€™d rather have Theta have that spot. Secondly, heā€™s a prince so being his bride is literally a dream come true. Thirdly, yeh, Tserriednich is actually very handsome. Nice blond hair and that facial beard.Ā 
8. Gon
Heā€™s quite low on the tier because I had always seen him as a cute green mini-Ging. Personality-wise, heā€™s really sweet and I can see a lot of girls liking him because he knows how to treat women respectfully. He can even handle the crazy ones like Palm. His alpha side came out during the Chimera Ant arc and his adult form is hella attractive.Ā 
Jokes aside, this character is really amazing as an MC. Itā€™s sad that he gets overshadowed but I believe heā€™s a pretty unique shounen MC because most of the time, a shounen MC doesnā€™t kill or has a pretty much black-and-white morality. Gon Freecss breaks that stereotype and heā€™s truly appreciated.Ā 
7. LeorioĀ 
Listen to me. This man is supposed to be the type of man youā€™re supposed to marry. Doctor, loyal, caring and funny. This man is the total package. I think the reason why heā€™s a little lower in my simp tier is because well... heā€™s the type of guy that I will go for in reality. In fiction, thatā€™s where all my crushes for crazy guys should be. My simp tier is based on my heart, not brain.Ā 
6. Killua
Okay. I was down bad for Killua when I was younger. DOWN BAD. So down bad that it was scary. I sort of got over him now. But what can you do? Killua is simped by a lot of teenaged girls or women who had a crush on him since the beginning of time. Heā€™s fiercely loyal, has white hair and pretty blue eyes, is a fun mixture of mischief and seriousness. Heā€™s the type of guy you can count on to get out of trouble and one to always treasure you. I do think that if I ever meet Killua though, that heā€™d bully me to oblivion.Ā 
Okay, weā€™re at the top 5. From here onwards, some real NSFW simping words.
5. Hisoka
I kinda do understand Hisoka stans, but at the same time, I do not get them. Like him or not, heā€™s a very flamboyant character. He stands out of the crowd and he just have that unexplained charisma.Ā 
Heā€™s actually a really well-written character. Heā€™s the balancing factor in the narrative of HxH. Heā€™s like the joker in the deck of cards. Back to my simp tier, heā€™s very attractive ESPECIALLY with his hair down. Thereā€™s a certain aura that is addictive about him that I canā€™t pin-point. And for that, he earns my top 5 spot.
4. Feitan
I swear. This simping phenomenon actually manifested from Hiei. Yes, Feitanā€™s character blueprint, Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho. (The real OGs will know that Hiei is the character blueprint, not Levi). I know a lot of people compare him to Levi but let me explain why Levi and Feitan are alike: itā€™s because their character blueprint is Hiei.Ā 
Anyway, Hiei is HOT. And to me, the hxh equivalent is Feitan, with a huge addition of sadism and emo-ness. Okay, that makes it even hotter.Ā 
I have read some Feitan/Reader on AO3 and BOI. I enjoyed reading certain stuff that I never thought I would enjoy. I read a fic about Reader-chan getting whipped and basically all sorts of BDSM and OMG itā€™s heaven.Ā 
ā€œThey say all good boys go to heaven, but bad boys bring heaven to youā€
3. Chrollo
At first, I didnā€™t really care about Chrollo until he wore that tuxedo and let his hair down (Is it just me or a lot of hxh boys look good with their hair down?). HE LOOKS SO GODLY HOLY FUCK.
Iā€™m 100% sure that his character blueprint for the hair-down is Koenma. He also gives me Tuxedo Mask vibes. Overall, such chivalry and handsomeness all in one man. Not to mention, that sexy sexy voice when he recites his fortune-telling. I would say he has the sexiest voice among all hxh guys. He is just that HOT and charismatic. I wanna see where he hid that Spider tattoo and scratch his back.Ā 
2. Ging
Okay. Ging is hardly simp by girls. And I do not understand why?? He is motherfucking attractive. Even now. GAWD. I love him.
I think my attraction to him pre-started because he looks and acts SO much like my childhood crush Yusuke Urameshi from Yu Yu Hakusho. I know heā€™s an asshat but heā€™s a CHARMING asshat. Yeap, I said it. He is actually highly intelligent and just acts like a total haggard because he can.Ā 
Tumblr media
Itā€™s not just when heā€™s young. I STILL think heā€™s hot even in his 30s. Heā€™s not that old for me to me honest. I donā€™t care if heā€™s a decade older than me because I think thatā€™s the appeal of it. I
Itā€™s kinda sad that heā€™s not that popular because I need some Ging/Reader smut content. Like, I envisioned a smut fic where the reader is like in her 20s and is strangely attracted to Ging. Heā€™s wildly confused over this but heā€™s seriously considering of tapping it because his old ass havenā€™t had any action lately. The other Zodiacs are also confused and are convinced that he must have given some sex pollen to the reader because who the hell is sane enough to be attracted to him? (But itā€™s just that you need some acquired taste to actually find this man alluring). Heā€™s one of the most fuckable characters ahhh.Ā 
And... for the last one...
Drumroll please....
1. Kurapika
Tumblr media
Seriously, was there even a surprise.Ā 
THIS MAN IS THE AKAKU GOD. Heā€™s beautiful, heā€™s sexy and fucking dominant (yes, I say heā€™s domineering because do you see the way he throws a hot tantrum during the whole YorkNew arc, demanding shit from his enemies, taking charge of everything?) His chains drives me nuts. I love it when he gets angry. I know heā€™s kinky on the inside. When he wore that tuxedo... ooof. He looks hella fine. Heā€™s the only guy in hxh that fulfills my ala Michael Corleone mafia boss kink. I want him to ^&*(%%%*%^ (to save myself from embarrassment, I self-censored) as we attempt to repopulate the clan and produce more scarlet eyed babies, as he whispers some real degrading and possessive shit in Kurta while he tells me what to do. AHHHHH. *bye gotta go write some kuraneon porn now byeee*

Demon Brothers Meeting the MCā€™s Family
I mean, if they have any family at all, what could they even tell them anyway? ā€œSorry Mom, still in Hell so I wonā€™t make Thanksgiving but Iā€™m doing great though!ā€ This is another long one folks, but I lowkey kind of love it a whole lot. Sooo fun to write. One of my favorite posts so far.
Lucifer
Thinks it's a little weird that theyā€™re so adamant to introduce their family to a literal demon but also kinda gets it. Family is the most important thing to him too.
Is very focused on making a good first impression, from image to attitude. Their approval isnā€™t going to do jack to stop him from being with the MC but heā€™d still take pride in being able to charm them for a night. Besides, if the MC cares then so does he.
Has more experience with the human world than the others so heā€™d know a lot of the doā€™s and don'ts already. They wonā€™t need to worry about him making some kind of slip up.
Would love the irony if the MCā€™s family is religious at all. Christian/Jewish especially. May or may not play along with their little rituals but is going to make a lot of thinly veiled, passive-aggressive comments towards his "old man."
Would be most comfortable in a setting where thereā€™s a lot of intellectual discussion or debate. He loves to steer a conversation down towards politics or other controversial things to get a rise out of people. The MC may need to reign him in if thatā€™s a big no-go zone.
Isnā€™t really going to get along with any younger siblings the MC might have. Either heā€™s too stiff or too scary. If theyā€™re looking for a playmate, look somewhere else.
Also not going to be particularly fond of any pets they have one way or another. Though he may take a shine to pitbulls or rottweilers because they remind him of Cerberus.
Mammon
You sure about this, MC? Him? Really? Are you really sure? Heā€™s going to think they're crazy but heā€™s not going to refuse.
Will be so freaking excited if theyā€™re from a well-to-do or, dare say, rich family. So much stuff to steal admire. Yeah, yeah no stealing from the MCā€™s family, he gets it... Heā€™ll really try his best but it might be good to keep an eye on him.
Surprisingly though, heā€™s not going to be disgusted if theyā€™re from a poor family either because the dude gets it. Money is hard to come by and things can be tough. He might evenā€¦ pay... for some stuff while heā€™s there... You know, if he can. Donā€™t make a big deal out of itā€¦ He's got an image to keep.
Heā€™ll try his best to not come off like a total scumbag and it may actually work. Heā€™s rough around the edges but thereā€™s plenty of chances for his better side to shine through as long as he stays on good behavior.Ā 
They will have to be sure that he doesnā€™t get to talking too much because his dumbass will let it slip that heā€™s a demon.Ā 
Mammon may not love kids but kids love him and any younger siblings are going to do the same. Even if he calls them little gremlins, heā€™ll let himself get roped into whatever game theyā€™re playing and make it a lot of fun in the process.
Bring on the pets! Heā€™s more of a dog person but heā€™ll play with a cat too. He may not be as animal-obsessed as Satan but he loves a good furry companion every once in a while.
LeviathanĀ 
NOOOOO and you canā€™t make him!!! A social event involving strangers where he has to make a good impression?? Fuck no, that sounds like actual hell and he doesnā€™t want anything to do with it!
ā€¦ But he also canā€™t just let the MC go back to the human world alone because what if they meet someone better than him and get reminded that theyā€™re with a good-for-nothing otakuā€¦? Okay he's going. But heā€™s going to pout about it.
His first impression is going to make him come off like a nervous wreck no matter what. Thereā€™s really no polishing this bundle of anxiety. The best he can hope for is to ride this thing out until it's done.
Will be pretty quiet and cling to the MC like a life-raft the entire night. Refuses to be left alone with their family in any capacity, he could not handle the awkward silence. If theyā€™re going to the bathroom, then heā€™s going too damnit.
If they have a pretty nerdy family then he might be a bit more comfortable. Especially if any of their siblings/parents game or are into anime. Steering conversation more towards his comfort zones will help him out a lot...
If they have little siblings who play a lot of video games then he is going to be the coolest person in the world. Period. He knows all the best strategies to practically any game out there, demonic or human. He may even loosen up a little bit and start smiling if he gets to wow an audience with his gaming prowess!
Like Lucifer heā€™s not going to be all that impressed with pets either way. Heā€™ll think fish are pretty neat and probably even reptiles too but donā€™t expect him to get too cuddly with a dog or anything.
Satan
Doesnā€™t hate the idea but agrees that his name is going to have to change if theyā€™re really serious about it. ā€œHey everybody this is my boyfriend, Satan!ā€ is only going to be appealing to very niche circles...
Like Lucifer, he's going to be mindful of how he comes across. He'd rather the MC's family likes him than didn't, even if it's irrelevant, so expect him to be very polite and sociable. Damn near the perfect gentleman.
ā€¦ Until something/someone sets off his temper. He may not go full Wrath on the situation but it's probably best to get him out of the room real quick so he can cool down.
Would love if the MC comes from an super educated family but itā€™s not a must. He's the kind of guy who will ask a lot of questions about any person's profession/skills and how things work regardless of background. He's curious that way.
Either way, he is going to show off his smarts and make sure that their family knows where his intellect is at. He wants them to know that the MC picked someone with a good head on their shoulders, after all.
Best keep him away from small children and bratty teens. He isn't exactly opposed to kids, but it takes one little shit to set him off and NO ONE looks good yelling at someone else's kid. Deserved or not.
Will there be cats? Do you have a cat? Please say you have a cat! He's okay with dogs too but if the MC has a cat this man will be ecstatic. The cat will love him and he will love it right back. Honestly, he's already adopted it. It's his now. Who's MC?
Asmodeus
Baby, you can take him anywhere and heā€™ll be the life of the party! A little family gathering doesnā€™t matter to him.
Is going to make sure that the moment he walks through the door the MC's family is in awe of what a catch they've got for themselves. He wants them to be proud of their little MC! To him, that translates to looking good and being fun!
Hope this is a house used to physical affection because he will not (and probably cannot) turn it off. Everyone gets hugs. Everyone.
Extra affectionate the whole night. He'll hold the MC's hand or arm or waist or really any part he can get away with. Kisses on the head and cheek aplenty. He may also lowkey butter up their parents with loads of compliments no matter what situation they're in.
If he's told to cool it on the touching though, he may get offended.
Is going to be better with teenage siblings than little, little ones. The man lives to give dating advice, fashion tips, or makeovers, you name it. Though he has to be careful to mention just human products and not some of the stuff he has back home.
Animal fur on his clothes? After he dressed himself so carefully?? No thanks. You can have your cute puppy or your little kitty. He'll take pictures, but he's probably not going pet much.
Beelzebub
Is honestly kind of honored by the suggestion. The MC is already a part of his family so it only seems natural to make him part of theirs. Though he has some reservations, mostly around his appetite...
He doesn't go up to the human world very much because it's really hard for him to stay fed. He's well-known enough in the Devildom that restaurants know what to expect when he walks in. Not so much up there.
Arrange the meeting around a state fair, festival, or carnival where the food is plentiful and he's golden. Hopefully their family won't be too disturbed by how bottomless his stomach isā€¦
Beel is a sweetheart through and through but his lack of knowledge about how the human world, or humans in general, work might come back to bite him. He may need a little 101 about human manners before going.
Truthfully, their family is in for a real treat! This giant may look intimidating, but he's as gentle as they come. The kind of guy who will carry their grandmotherā€™s bags with a smile on his face just for the sake of being helpful. 10/10 Sweetie, mother will approve.
Ooooh little kids are going to love Beel. He'll let their siblings hang off of him like a jungle gym. Will also play games with them if they want him to. Doesn't matter to him, their family is his family too and he wants to see them all happy.
Man wants dogs. Preferably big ones that he can rough-house with but little dogs he can cuddle work too. Do remind him that he can't just rip a whole-ass branch off a tree to play fetch like you could with Cerberus.
Belphegor
Really? You want that? Lol, okay but no promises. This is pretty much the equivalent of sticking two unlabeled chemicals together in a beaker and leaning in to see what happens. Who knows, but now you're stuck in the middle of it.
He's not going to try especially hard to make a good impression or change himself in any way. If their family is into people who are kind of chill and sarcastic then he'll get along swimmingly. If they were expecting more of a Satan type, yeah. No. He's not holding open any doors.
Won't be taking the whole thing all that seriously to be honest, like, what are a bunch of humans going to do if they donā€™t like him? Tell MC? They're certainly not going to be able to make him leave. He's humoring them at best, even if he's nice, so why bother fussing about it?
Might be a disrespectful little troll at times like pretending to fall asleep or making casual jokes like "Oh no, ma'am. I'm not all that comfortable with that cross over there because I'm a demon. ā€¦. Got ya, didnā€™t I? That'd be silly." *shit-eating grin*
Would appreciate a quiet, slightly introverted family the most. He's going to start getting annoyed if people in the house are too loud and may speed the whole thing along as a result.
Kids are things he'd rather avoid than have to interact with, but if pressed he will humor the little ones too. Don't expect him to do a whole lot of moving, though. If they're happy to just show him things that he can semi-pay attention to, that works for him.
MC has a pet? Is it fluffy? Is it lazy? Bring'em here. Like Beel, he likes big dogs but would rather just bury his face in fluff than try to wrestle it. He may actually fall asleep with them if they lay still enough for it.

Send Me a Fandom Ask Game
@nitghowl1600
Yu Yu Hakusho, I love that, thank you.
Let's dig in and see what the answers are.
The first character I first fell in love with: Hiei!
Tumblr media
My sister actually read it first, and then we watched the anime together, and from the moment she showed me his first picture I knew I would love him. And I was RIGHT. He's a bastard gremlin (affectionate) and that's just the ones I like, so it was really no surprise that he rocketed right up to the top.
The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Yusuke. Despite being the MC, he was an absolute ASS (which was all part of his character development but I digress), and I really, REALLY didn't like him. Brash, crass, sexist, and irritating, I did not want to spend any more time around him than was strictly necessary. Now, of course, if you've seen any of my posts or tags, you'll see that he's shoved his way into my heart and I love him very dearly. He's amazing, and his growth, maturity, and tenderness are something outstanding.
The character everyone else loves that I donā€™t: Yoko Kurama. Idk who was a closet furry in that translations room, but giving the giant, muscled fox man a "time for spankings" line was a damn choice and a choice they kept on making. Every time he opened his mouth I braced in horror and despaired of what he would say, cause ALL OF HIS LINES ARE LIKE THAT. (My sister assures me that wasn't in the mangaā€¦.that...I have yet to completely finish). I do not like Yoko Kurama. But the fandom does. Oh, how they do.
The character I love that everyone else hates: Itsuki. He's not great and his relationship with Sensui is (imo) weird at best and unhealthy at worst (though I wouldn't go so far as to that its abusive). But idk man, he's a compelling, interesting character. He's a demon, who was being hunted by Sensui and was about to be killed by him, but Sensui thought he was funny and hot I guess so he let him live and they started hunting together. After Sensui's horrific (in every absolute sense of the word, holy fucking shit) realization about the humans he had been working to protect, and he was so shattered and disturbed and at loose ends that he had to make multiple personalities to protect himself and process what happened to him, Itsuki stuck with him. They may not have dealt with what happened to them in the healthiest manner, and Itsuki stepped back and let him go when he should have intervened, but what they hell else were they supposed to do, really? He supported and loved Sensui in the best way he knew how, even if that way turned out to be pushing him to the point of self destruction. Their last moments together were very moving, and solidified him as an intriguing character to me. Idk what the fandom feel for him is, but my sister greatly dislikes him, so that's who I'm picking.
The character I used to love but donā€™t any longer: Lame, but I don't think I have one.
The character I would totally smooch: Yukina. But a nice, cute little forehead kiss. She's precious and want all good things for her, and I'd like to kiss the top of her head like a cat. I don't have any character I'm attracted to though.
The character Iā€™d want to be like: I admire Kuwabara. He's strong as hell and can fight like crazy, but he runs off of love. Like, the power of love is what motivates him. He's kind, loves his friends so much that he was willing to debase and humiliate himself so that no harm would come to them, he loves cats, his sister, PEOPLE in general and he just genuinely wants to make the world around as good as he can. He applies himself to his studies and is determined to make himself into a good man, and if I could be at all like him, I would consider myself to be a success. (The dub frickin' BUTCHERED him and all of his character traits btw)
The character Iā€™d slap: Koenma. He deserves it. He bears a lot of responsibility for the REALLY bad stuff that happened and the unnecessary pain and torment that several characters went through. Aside from that he's also a little whiny and should really treat his second better but hey, what else is new?
A pairing that I love: YuHieiRama. This is not the most *popular* paring in the fandom (30 fics on Ao3, minimal art, there'sā€¦there's next to nothing, basically) but I LIKE it.
Kurama treasures Yusuke, he doesn't even attempt in any way to hide that fact. Also Kurama has two hands and he knows it. There's a reason Hiei/Kurama is one of the biggest ships in the fandom, their flirtation, instigated mostly and many times, by Kurama, is too much to be ignored. Hiei had THIS wonderous line "I would kill you before you could touch him (Yusuke)" which is HUGE for him and his character because his whole shtick is that he "doesn't care" about other people (he does sometimes he just doesn't show it) but when he thought Yusuke was in imminent mortal danger, he didn't hesitate even a moment to VERBALLY THREATEN (AND THEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE HOW IMPORTANT YUSUKE IS TO HIM) the one posing the danger. And he would have. And he's not a big talker, so this was a BIG MOMENT to him and his character development. Also, though not as open as Kurama, and more bashful about receiving, he reciprocates the flirtation, and seems almost to expect or wait for it at times (and then he tries it out on Yusuke, it's so cute). On Yusuke's end, he admires and respects them both, he likes them both and he just genuinely WANTS to be around them. They are right up there with the top five or so most important people in his life and his devotion is obvious. There's also the common bond between them with Kurama and Hiei being yokai, and Yusuke (SPOILER) also now being one. They have an understanding of each other and a deep care and they make such a wonderful unit, and their interactions, both between any of the two of them, or all three of them together, are just LACED with care and affection and (I think) romantic, flirtatious undertones. *deep breath* I'm so sorry about this.
A pairing that I despise: Yusuke and Keiko. And NO its not because I ship Yusuke with someone(s) else, its because I never believed them as a couple, and they seem supremely unsuited to each other. They kept saying "I love you, I love you, I like you, I miss you, I admire you, I want you" But they never seemed to show it, to prove or display that in any romantic way. They do care for each other, I'll believe that. But IN love? No. They make a horrible romantic couple, and I dislike it greatly.

So, I just started to play Obey Me! Shall We Date
And well, I have thoughts
Im currently stuck on the first levels of lesson 5, so my knowledge of the plot is limited to that + some spoilers I accidentally got while going though the obey me! tag. Do I have a deep understanding of this game? No. Am I gonna rant anyway? Yeah. See me do another one of these soon after I play it some more, but for now, I need to put this out there:
First, mechanics-wise, the first thing on my mind was "Mr. Love from Hell", which is honestly not too far fetched. Maybe it's because I'm playing in my old ass tablet (I need a new phone, this thing ain't gonna survive 2020) but it's just so slow??? I've tried downloading full data, and it kinda helped, but still, it just annoys me so much! It's not crashing like crazy (cof cof Love Island The Game cof cof) but it could be better, it takes forever to get the itens to level up cards because it just ????????? takes forever for them to load???? anyone else got this problem or it's just my device? Anyway, that aside, I quite like it, if you played MLQC, it's pretty easy to manage, and while it takes a bit more of attention to win battles, I think that's a good thing. Getting shards has a been a bitch, like, I keep on suffering with the loading and my competitive ass wants to finish begginer's missions, and again I think Mr. Love has spoiled me. Also, someone please tell me how to level up skills, because I have no idea???
Now, moving on to the actual tea: what do I think of these boys?
Let's go in order, shall we:
So, I open the app and I see Lucifer in all his red and black glory, furry cape, Dom-Daddy, Big D Energy for days and go "Oh, Demon!Nobunaga, fun!". I'm immediately drawn to him beacause Nobu was my first ever otome guy and while I eventually grew out of the whole "this man is so controlling and sexy and dark" phase, nostalgia ya know? So, turns out the vibe I keep getting from Lucifer is more like all those dark-kinky-Jumin-Han-fanfics (as in, the only parts of Jumin Han that I hate) rather than Nobu? Idk man, this guy just seems shady?? They all do honestly but Lucifer is just plain scary. Dude, I know you've got the whole "most-powerful-oldest-control-freak" going for you but, like, can you chill?
Yet I can't really blame him, cause, Veronica (that's my MC's name) why, girl???? She be going up those stairs, and I'm just ??? Real talk, I'm kinda of a rule follower? I don't wanna make this guy mad, man, all I wanna do is hit on Satan (which we shall discuss soon) and see some family drama shenanigans. Lucifer says "don't go up those stairs" I'd be like "okay???" because up until now he hasn't given me a reason to not trust him (aside from being shady)??? But I have no choice but go talk to Belphegor (don't even get me started on this one) and I can just tell I'm gonna get in trouble for this. Could I not get there accidentally? Do I have to go there against Lucifer's direct orders? I don't think this is gonna go well, I just don't wanna get on his bad side hskshskshk
Lucifer's room, however, is everything to me, the deco is lovely (skeleton aside) and that bed, maaaannnn
Mammon started really annoying but he's been growing on me. I have a soft spot for dumb bitches like him, I guess? He just cracks me up? Not to be cheesy, but I like him as a friend? Maybe that'll change in the future, who knows, but for now that's how I see him, the best friend guy who is gonna be in love with you in every single route (read, Seven, but dumber). Can't wait for the angst. Looks wise I kind got him mixed with Solomon at some point (my dumbass though it was a bug) but all those Surprise Guest moments have me thinking he's way cuter than I gave him credit for at first.
I always feel bad for ratting him out to Lucifer, but boy, you and Veronica practically share one single brain cell, okay? I need to get my girl into Lucifer's good graces, I ain't about that troublemaker life
Levi is gonna be brief: No. He's not my type (otome or real life wise) and he annoys me. He reminded me a bit of Yoosung at first, and I'm trying to power though it like I did with him, but I can't. He keeps dragging me into his stuff and it's not cute, it makes me resent Levi. I'm not much of a tsundere enthusiast by nature, and I really don't like when they portray fans and gamers in this kinda "I'm weird, look at me I'm so weird and different" light ("have you ever seen me without this stupid hat on? that's weird" jsjdndmsksjdnsmskdjnddm). It comes across (to me at least) as childish and dumb (not endearing dumb, like Mammon). Idk, maybe I'll change my mind? Don't come for me, Levi stans
So Satan
I love Satan
Otome makes you say the strangest shit hm
Still. I haven't interacted much with him but I'm obsessed with this man. Let me date you, okay? You look like posh book-cat-candle super model I wish existed. Let's be petty together. Since I haven't been playing long I hope I don't end up regretting putting my heart and soul into loving you. I'm doing all kinds of jobs to get intimacy go up with him, because guyghbkhiugiygufgfydddyghvjgvjg I'm all about that soft dom energy he has going for him, it's basically everything I love about Jumin Ham, but less CEO and more cute-bookstore-guy. Ideally, Satan is 100% my type, even if not the usual otome route I take first. Also, he is the Avatar of Wrath, which, along with Pride, is my most prominent sin, so I might be projecting
Pls babe don't turn out to be terrible
Kay, so Asmo. Asmo gives me all the Shingen vibes but realistic Shingen. Like, of Shingen is all about worshiping his MC, Asmo looks like he wants to be worshiped himself. Not judging, tho. That thing he said about loving himself above all things, I feel like it was supposed to be shady but I kinda agree? He's onto something. All this self-sacrifing thing is so romanticized. Can't we all be in healthy non co-dependent relationships? Love yourselves, kids. Which is why, while I said Satan is my ideal type of man, in real life, most of the people I've been with are Asmos. That being said, that's why he doesn't really work as an otome LI for me (at least for now). I'm here to live a fantasy of dating demons, not to see my exes. He is tempting tho. Who doesn't want a friend to do face masks and fuck from time to time, no strings attached until, "oh no, we both caught feelings, whatever shall we do" and then have it end well? (can you tell I'm projecting? my therapist is gonna love this). Poor Asmo, it's not his fault. Darling I'm sure you'll turn out to be lovely
On Beel, not much. I'm not into him, at least for now. his personality so far is that he's hungry. So what, man. I'm not here for that either. I don't find food particularly fun or sexy, it's just here to keep us alive (unless it's sweets, sweets are the best, but I'm having to cut down on sweets so), so he's not doing much for me. Gotta wait for that character development I guess
And to end this rant, Belphegor. Bitch, I've seen you on my demon cards, don't you dare tell Veronica you're human. But she's a dumb hoe, my girl Veronica, so she just doesn't question it???? I swear, this girl. Shady doesn't even cut it with him. Sorry, you're telling me what to do? Dude, lol, you're lucky this is Veronica and not me, because I'd be out of there as soon as you started this bull about me doing pacts with demons to get your ass out of that room. Don't prey on my empathy, it pisses me off. Spoilers tell me he's like a human-hater or something? Boy, fuck you, okay? Am I going to end up loving him? Who knows. For now he can rot in that room for all I care
Anyway, that's pretty much my first impressions of this game. I'll be playing it for some more time, until I get up to date on lessons and story or until colleges comes to drag me to literal hell, whatever comes first
Peace, my dudes

WoT book 3 reactions!
So you may remember how I recently finished book 2. Now Iā€™m done with book 3! Itā€™s titled The Dragon Reborn, despite barely having a handful of Rand POV scenes.
Thematically, it serves as a reminder that there are two taā€™verenā€”people who get shoved around by fate but also have a good chance of changing the worldā€”OTHER than Rand here. Moiraine had almost forgotten how important they might become, distracted instead by Randā€™s literal-chosen-one-ness, and so probably had the readers.
BUT NO LONGER!
Once again, Iā€™m going character-by-character here under the cut (if tumblr can remember how to cut.)
[[MORE]]
Perrin
The largest chuck of the bookā€™s POV is him (though Egweneā€™s a close second), so we get to know him pretty well
He still Doesnā€™t Want To Be A Furry, though we finally get evidence that he might be right to be waryā€”he encounters someone else with his ability who has completely lost his connection to humanity in favor to being a wolf.
Although Iā€™m pretty sure actively trying to walk that line is much safer than pushing it away only to be overwhelmed by it later, but Perrin only makes so many good decisions
See also: yelling in mixed company, RANDā€™S THE BLOODY DRAGON
despite this, he is typically the smartest of the three taā€™veren boys.
Heā€™s real cute when he gets into blacksmithing, Iā€™m glad he has something that makes him happy
Also he just has a Dead Wolf Friend That Always Wanted To Fly But Can Now Fly In The Afterlife as his partner in prophetic, can-totally-kill-you, dreams?? Adorable.
He also absolutely has a girlfriend-to-be now, which was so obviously set up that it feels forced, but also I really like her and also theyā€™re cute together and I ship it. Iā€™m conflicted. Anyway, more about her later.
Egwene
The other MC for this book
I still love her?? How much more is there to say than that.
Sheā€™s ACTUALLY UNCOMFORTABLE HIDING THINGS, which is really big mood and also sheā€™s a @sortinghatchats gryffindor secondary.
Sheā€™s showing more and more signs of actually being a Dreamer, maybe. Also she gets more vengeful and terrifying each book. IS she going to torture someone to death later in the series. (Donā€™t answer that, I wanna find out for myself.)
Mat
Oh my gods heā€™s so stupid
SO STUPID
Almost the first thing he does once he gets healed from the evil dagger, about 1/3 into the book, is think about how he can win a lot of money with His Dice
So I think, ā€œoh, he has loaded diceā€
Spoiler: he DOESNT
THEYRE JUST NORMAL DICE
HIS ENTIRE PLAN HINGES ON WINNING A LOT OF GAMBLING WITH COMPLETELY NORMAL DICE
Good thing that he suddenly came about magical good luck.... which he didnā€™t know about before he made this plan of course
The magical good luck might also have something to do with him being possessed by an ancient general of the country that used to exist in the same place as his hometown??? Though that could just be him in a past lifeā€”if people have multiple lives within the same Age, which Iā€™m unclear about.
I think the one smart thing he does all book is think to himself ā€œbut when have I ever been sensible?ā€ Self awareness is the first step!
Perrin yelling out to him in a dream ā€œYOURE DICING WIITH BAā€™ALZAMON!!ā€ has really big ā€œoh god he has AirPods In HE CANT HEAR USā€ energy. Which is pretty much just the mood with Mat.
When heā€™s not denegrading all his supposed friends and annoyed that people arenā€™t grateful to him, anyway :x
Moiraine
Itā€™s actually hitting me how Weird it is that I like her, because Characters Who Hide Things From Everyone are usually my least fav
But I think her POVs early in the series really, really helpedā€”I know sheā€™s doing her best
Itā€™s just that her best does not include the skill of summary
ā€œI canā€™t tell you because how could I ever condense a lifetime of information into one conversation???ā€ its called cliffnotes Moiraine
Also she has balefire. Which she apparently only learned the last YEAR. When. Inquiring minds want to know!!
Nynaeve
Speaking of balefire, she can do that too
But, like all other channeling, only when sheā€™s angry. Which means that in order to heal people from near-death, she has to rile herself up. ā€œHOW DARE PEOPLE.... PUNCTURE FLESH!ā€
Sheā€™s also like, getting weirdly upset at Egwene for Everything, which, Hm. Donā€™t Like That
Elayne
IM PROUD TO ANNOUNCE.... A NEW CONFIRMED BRAINCELL!!!
The braincell was confirmed when she looked at the list of the Black Ajah who escaped and determined that its sheer patternlessness was unlikely to be random, and instead was probably *designed* to make it hard to discern any clues just by looking at who left
Mostly in this book sheā€™s just playing the Friend Of Egwene role though
Faile
NEW FRIEND NEW FRIEND
What a legend. She just sees this really weird group of travelers and is like ā€œah... I treasure hunt (a particular treasure)... they are weird... I must join them to see what happensā€
(Chased by literal demon dogs) ā€œoh yeah Iā€™m still sticking around, where will I find a better story than THISā€
ā€œAlso my name means falcon, I picked it myselfā€
Fills a role that was conspicuously empty before: non-channeling combat-oriented woman
Also totally Perrinā€™s gf now
I guess thatā€™s what happens when you follow someone around on purpose and then he plunges himself into wakeless dreams just to rescue you!!! You kinda get invested!!!
Lan
Heā€™s playing with the concept of having facial expressions now! Iā€™m proud of him
Literally wants nothing more than to die before Moiraine
Again, why is Nynaeve so thirsty for him...?
Loial
Is still just There
Min
Where the heck did she go. I want her back.
Rand
I saved the best (and in this book, most mysterious) for last
Main POV character whom??? ā€œWhat if... instead I totally lose it from the stress of being the chosen one and having too much magical power to control and basically being filled with everything at all timesā€
ā€œAnd leave my friends to just attempt to chase after me for a whole bookā€
Honestly the early Perrin POV chapters about Rand made me ABSOLUTELY invested in him. The filled-with-power-ness. Itā€™s so good.
His entire motivation this book is to either prove heā€™s actually the Dragon by getting The Magic Sword, or prove heā€™s not by dying, and he honestly looks like he might prefer the second option
He does not get the second option
Speaking of that, I had Callandor (the magic sword) pegged as totally-not-Excalibur, but Iā€™m pretty sure Excalibur doesnā€™t glow like a supernova or warp the fabric of reality, so,
He keeps getting so convinced that heā€™s killed Satan THIS time, even though thereā€™s 11 more books to go
And yes he doesnā€™t know how many books heā€™s in.... BUT he knows some of the prophecies, all of which say that what he just did is only the beginning
Chill on the wishful thinking Rand
Youā€™re in for the long haul
