look i know aoyama is the traitor and all but i have always been (and always will be) a traitor kaminari believer, and because of that i LOVE when i read fics that aren’t really about the traitor but the traitor comes up somehow and they find out the traitor is kaminari. because i’ve read all of the fics that have traitor kaminari tagged but those fics don’t have the traitor tag and it’s a pleasant surprise.

Have you not seen any of the ruining histories?? 👀
There’s an adorable scene in the episode “most insane battle in history” where Shane puts in a sports reference in the show just for Ryan and Ryan and Sara gush over how sweet it is. It’s adorable seeing Shane flustered. ;u;
Oh yeah I have seen that clip in particular in some compilations and maybe bingewatched some of the eps (the pope one and the bear one for sure) but that was years ago, so unlike with other watcher shows where I could at least take a guess at what happened where, my knowledge of their buzzfeed content is very limited. And by the time I got interested in their content outside of ghost hunting PH season 5 started airing and compared to that, I dare say that the ruining history is kinda... tame? Maybe a bit boring, compared to what happens in the end of season 5 of puppet history. Like yes it has cute moments but compared to Ryan being tied up in a chair it was like... ah okay. We're fishing for moments and glances in the 2018 content compared to full on almost marriage that happens in 2022. I don't think I watched all eps or seasons of PH, I guess I need to be in a certain headspace of remembering information to understand where they are going (there's a lot that happnens in them so I prefer them airing weekly rather than bingewatching). This might sound like a fake fan of me but that's the beauty of coming late to a fandom I guess.
I guess Ruining history has the benefit of seeing Shane's reactions to what people are saying compared to just his professor voice behind the theatre. Who knows maybe he is like that more times but we wouldn't know this since he hides behind layers of lore and the theatre and we don't have a camera on him anymore (I know that was the case in first seasons).
Thanks for reminding me of this moment btw, I think it was really sweet of him indeed.

more lmk season 4 stuff
First off, honerable mentions to Red son may he rest in peace
should have known after he got so much screentime in season 3 he would just dissapear (still, i forgive them for the end scene where we get to see him getting bullied at the beach)
[warning ridiculously long post ahead]
Next, first impressions.
Man I thought this was going to be a fun "oh look we get to see the original journey to the west and it will be goofy hyjinks" but NO
NOPE instead there is pain PAIN, you are not defined by your past but you must learn from it, breaking away from destiny, and so much trama
all for our favorite mystic monkeys
Mk
poor mk. I spent half this season just in SHAMBLES. my son is getting so many new tramas
Also aperantly pigsy and sun's son. Like. what was up with that second one
(okay i am shocked and happy they really faced the whole, MK kinds considers Pigsy his father figure (especally with the fact that pigsy raised? him or at least found him). I already thought that but i didnt think they would directly say it)
Appearntly MK was born from a rock
awesome
(ok seriously. When i first started watching lmk (esp around S2) I had a burning curiosity around Mk's backstory. At that time i wasn't sure why, I just chalked the vaugness up to "oh fun lego show for kids, of course they're not going to explore their backstories in extreme length" but damn, this route was, something. And really it is was kind of suspicious how they said absolutely nothing about where he's from, nothing on parents, past life before pigsy's noodles, not even his Full Name)
Awsome how MK's monkey powers are purposely Not Adressed. I sure hope no new issues and trama wont result from that (sidenote: I think it's very intresting how the music during MK's monkey scenes isn't triumphant, even when he is beating the 'bad guy'. There's some level of horror)
Anyway. Moving on to other characters
Nezha. Bro
In season 3 i liked this guy, but s4 made me absolutely adore him.
Take that sass back young man, why you so grumpy (tbf I would be too)
Sun wukong
Love how we're really diggin our fingers into his story. Even an eternity later, he still has major issues (love that guy. whats his problem)
Macaque :)
yeah i like macaque <- said by person who is absolutely NOT NORmal about macaque
Mei
She really had to step up for the comedic relief role in this season (not that she didn't have good character growth) because of MK's impeding mental breakdown
probably because of all the attention she got last season lol
Sidenote: Mei's ancestor. What a guy
In general I love how they looked at their prior narrative, shattered into peices, stitched it back together and examined the cracks
Why does MK have his super awesome powers? How is he so strong? Whats up with all this crazy stuff happened all in a short span of time?
Most of it would be chalked up to "cartoon logic" but they are going and exploring what's going on with that
Poke holes at your character's flaws, They can't always win with sheer power and determination alone
What happnens when you can't just win with the power of friendship?
you could argue that they Did win with the power of friendship, but at the same time it was very tested. Their dark reflection, Azure lion. What happens when your friendship leads you astray. You try to win by sticking with your friends, but now you've become with villain
What makes you a hero of your story

HI IM BACJ SORRY
It was such a weird dream omg so it happened after I woke up randomly at like 10am and went back to sleep til 11am (it was a weekend LOL) but I was in a dream going to sleep and so in dream 1 I felt my body like leaving my body while falling into dream 2??? It was wild. And then I flew n stuff HAHA but then I woke up again in dream 1 which was insane
I’m still not able to lucid dream regularly yet unfortunately :( but tips would be to do a dream journal where u log all the dreams + wake up while ur in REM sleep (so like 5-6+ hrs after u fall asleep) and walk around then go back to bed thinking ur gonna lucid dream

HEHEHEHEHEHE EEEEEEEE ME TOO THATS ME WHENEVER I SEE U UPDATE!!!!!!!! I am suddenly Megurine Luka.
-💫 anon
I THINK I GET THAT... like ur body sudden feels like its falling n all???AND YOURE JUST LIKE "WHATS HAPPNENING..." 😭 but that's crazy!! like u went to one dream to another then back to the original one????
i hope u master lucid dreaming!! id love to hear the stuff u get urself into :D ALSO THANKIE 4 THE TIPS i will follow them . soon

Depending on what happens in the story or scene, I go with the character who has the most to lose or who will be the most impacted by what is happnening within the scene or story. Then the follow up scene (because I write dual POV) is the emotional reaction of the other character or their response to what happened in the previous scene. But it can also be tricky because it also depends on how I want to convey that information to the reader.
Say there's a scene where Character A is about to lose his job. Now, I could write that scene three different ways, all with various different levels of impact.
If I write it from Character A's POV, they could be devastated by the loss of income, the loss of coworkers, or they could be angry or some other emotion depending on the impact and the overall character's goal, motivation, etc. Also the overall story lesson to be learned. Could be they need to learn how to stand on their own two feet or to not take things for granted or to put more work into their job and less into things outside of their work.
If I wrote from Character B's POV, they could be upset that they have to fire someone. It's the first time they've had to do that and they feel for the other person but they know they had no choice. Or they are angry that Character A pushed them to this point and they have no time for their bullshit excuses. This POV for the scene will depend on various factors as well, such as Character B's story and scene goal or lesson they have to learn in the story. Maybe they need to learn to have more empathy for others or something.
If I write from Character C's POV, they could be upset that they have to bear witness to such a horrible event or they could be gaining satisfaction that they are getting what they want (the person getting fired). This could be a great antagonist scene or it could be another way to show someone's empathy. The lesson they might need to learn is be careful what you wish for because now that Character A is gone and Character B is stuck without them, Character C has more work to do to fill in the gap. So they got what they wanted but it made their own situation worse.
It all depends on what you want to convey, the lesson being learned, and the overall goal of the story and it's leads. Motivation plays a big factor as well.

Kitchen, DIO's Mansion 8:45 am, Early-July
Mariah and Midler are hanging out in the mansion's kitchen as D'Arby Younger made them some coffee.
T. D'Arby: *Gives mugs to them* Here you go ladies.
Mariah: Thank you~
Midler: Thanks, Terry~
T. D'Arby: You're welcome. *Looking at his wristwatch, sighing in irritation* Oh where the hell's King?
Midler: Didn't she tell you? Medea has a day off today.
T. D'Arby: *Thinking*....*He gets it* Oh yeah, I remember now. No wonder she's sleeping in.
Midler: She should be up soon though; we're planning on going to the mall today. *Counting with her fingers* Fashion, music, watches, handbags, cute boys~
T. D'Arby: Girl stuff, I've should've known >3>
Midler: Oh shut up, you're just mad 'cause you're still single.
T. D'Arby: *Offended* That's not true, I had a girlfriend!
Mariah: That's not your brother told us~ >:-3
T. D'Arby: *Angry* MY BROTHER'S A LIAR! >o<*
~DOOR OPENS~
Medea: *Groggy* Mmm... Good morning, girls....
Mariah: *Turns to her* Well good morning, sunshin-*horrified*-whoa O_O!!!
Medea: *Was still in her PJs, her hair was messy, and she looked like she's about to either pass out or hurl* @ x @
T. D'Arby: *Unphased* Oh dear I know that expression anywhere. Let me guess: mother nature came by for a visit last night? >:-3
Medea: *Nodding* Yeaaaah...
Midler: D'ARBY! How do you even know that?
T. D'Arby: Again, girlfriend, plus Lord DIO keeps a harem in this mansion for consumption.
Midler: *Gets it* Oh that's right, he's a vampire! :-D
Mariah: *Goes to Medea* Hey, sweetie, you alright? *Pats her back*
Medea: I guess, I was doing fine yesterday, *rubbing her lower back* then I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like I've just ran a marathon, had a hard time sleeping because of that.
Mariah: *Hugs her* Ohhh that's too bad, maybe we should move our trip to another date.
Medea: *Panics* Wha-? N-no! We don't have to! I can still move around! Look! *Starts Krump dancing like Marge Simpson* Mm! Mm! Mm! Mm! Mm! *Bends over in pain* Ngh! *Leaning against the wall*
Midler: That looks pretty bad, Meds, when was the last time you exercised?
Medea: *Awkward* ......... Does housework count?
Midler: *Angry* You gotta be kidding me! *Turns to T. D'Arby* Have you been pushing your workload on her again!?
T. D'Arby: *Silently slides down behind the counter, awkwardly* >_>'''''
Medea: Forget him, Rose, he ain't worth it. *Stands up straight* Mmm, just a few painkillers and I'm good to go. 
Mariah: They take a while to kick in though.
Medea: *Stumbles to the door* Oh come on, we've all been through this every month, I'm going to be fine *stops*.... I'm not fine OvO *falls over* 
Midler: MEDS! *Catches her with [High Priestess]*
Medea: *Unconscious from the pain* x_x
Mariah: Alright, that's it, we're calling the trip off. *Opens the door* Come on. *She helps Midler carry Medea to her room*
Medea's Room Two hours later
Medea: *Laying in bed with an electric heating pad and her teddy bear* Zzzzzzz...*wakes up when the auto timer in her heating pad turned off* Mmm....Ah! *Sits up* What!? How did I-...
Enyaba: *Enters the room with some clean sheets* Oh hello there, Medea, how's your rest? 
Medea: It's alright I guess, but what happened?
Enyaba: Oh that, well you see the girls had to carry you back to bed after you passed out from intense pain, I'm actually shocked that it happnened, I haven't seen that kind of pain since the early 60's.
Medea: Yeah i'm surprised to, thank God for modern medici-...*Panics* Oh my god, how long was I out!?
Enyaba: Uh, two hours, why?
Medea: *Shocked* Two hours!? The girls left me here for two hours!?
Enyaba: Well what did you except, stupid girl? They can't carry around an unconscious body all day. *Summons [Justice] just to drop off a small pink colored yarn basket on Medea's lap* They did however make a nice little get-well basket for you shortly after you passed out.
Medea: *Sees a get-well card in it, reads it* "Hey Meds, me and Rose had to cancel our trip because you weren't doing so well, but we went and got you some stuff to get you through the week, as well as some goodies so you can have a mini-spa day. Sorry about what happened, we'll try again next time. - Love, Mariah"........*Groans loudly in despair as she flopped on her bed* Awwwwww! DX
Enyaba: What are you complaining about, child? It's a sweet gift.
Medea: It's not that, I was looking forward to getting out of the mansion for the day before THIS happened, I don't wanna stay another minute here! 
Enyaba: *Getting irritated* Hey I don't wanna look at your ugly red-haired face 24/7 either, but do I comment? Just be glad that I was even generous enough to let you rest or you'd be spending the morning in the basement with cellar spiders.
Medea: *Fearful* Do you not understand how bad this is!? *Crawling out of bed despite being sore* I, a young bleeding female, am living with two vampires, one who can overpower ME with his size, strength, and Stand! *Grips Enyaba's scarf* If DIO gets a whiff of me! I'm done for!
Enyaba: *Slaps her hands off* Foolishness! Lord DIO maybe a vampire, but he would never lay his hands on a filthy Irish girl like you! *Backs off*
Medea: B-but Madam! *Falls over onto the floor in pain* Gah! 
Enyaba: Besides, you can easily just lock the door if you're so worried about being jumped. Now if you excuse me, I must oversee the others on their house duties, you get some rest, so you regain your strength for work later since now you have nothing else to do today. *Leaves the room*
Medea: *Crawling to her* Please, Enyaba! Don't leave me alone like this! You don't know what DIO is like when we're alone! *Door gets shut on her* DON'T LEAVE ME! 
END (This was supposed to be made a month ago to cope with the fact that I had to miss my mall trip because of my period, but there were distractions, and the trip got moved to another week and forgot about it)

people are like "you should support israel because horrifying things happnened to israelis" but i'm like. this is not a zero-sum game. this is not a competition - as long as people are dying, we're all fucking losing. israel must stop bombing gaza and pursue an immediate prisoner release/exchange, then pursue a more-general, more long-lasting (i wish??) diplomatic solution. i get why this is the focus and why many people's statesments get right to the dire point of demanding that israel cease fire. but at the same time... horrifying things happnened to israelis and i feel like people need to know. that's all - not "know and then choose a side, the right side" (israel is clearly not the right side here but again, i think "sides" may be too simplistic here) - just know that they happnened?
this is not even "you can hold more than one thing at the same time" - every single israeli person - probably many non-israeli jewish people too, idk - can't NOT hold the horrifying events of oct. 7 in their minds at all time. these are nightmarish horrors that happnened not far from where we live and to so many people we know directly/indirectly/are now hearing about in constant posts and articles. it doesn’t negate israel’s violence, it doesn’t or shouldn’t change our morality and our call for immediate ceasefire etc. but it has changed us forever and I think when people ignore these events (or fucking deny them) either from ignorance or from political strategy… well, it’s just weird, because how can you? reality exists beyond public statements. but obviously that's a very personal feeling

WICCA PHASE SPRINGS ETERNAL - IT'S GETTING DARK (VISUALIZER)
 sam hyde has a new project called fish tank thats been live for about a week now, basically its a kind of streaming reality show where contestants all live in a house with cameras everywhere and the viewers can pay money to hassle them and torture them, i havent talked about his project even once i think on my blog even though ive been a sam hyde fan for years, and theres a reason, i think its fucking gay. part of me thinks thats the point, im really hoping and honestly do believe that this whole thing is gonna turn out to be a meta commentary on the fans of the show itself not the contestants, if that isnt the case sam straight up fell off. the thing is my sister wants to talk to me ENDLESSLY about fish tank and i dont care about it at all its not interesting to me, but my sister also talks to my mom endlessly about reality television, this is small brain girl shit, and it sucks. i think what happnened is sam did the whole idubbbz documentary and then was sickened like i was by the fan reaction to it, they wanted blood they wanted more drama, feminine faggot shit, i think (or hope) thats what inspired this fish tank idea and i believe that the youtube channels that have sprung up around the show to do clip compilations are in on the joke, i believe sam or someone from his crew is directly in contact with them helping them set the tone of the discussion and talking points. 
 for one the grand prize for surviving a month and a half of torture broadcast live on the internet was originally ten thousand dollars, and then 20 which is better but not much better, thats such a glaring oversight i refuse to believe sam or anyone associated with him would make such a mistake, even when the show was in its conceptual phase the cash motivation would have been one of if not the biggest topics of discussion, and the low amount of the prize already lead to real problems with the production, namely the contestants werent willing to put up with any sort of harrassment whatsoever before wanting to quit, DUH! i refuse to believe for even a fraction of a second sam would make a mistake that fucking stupid, i dont even believe any of the contestants are dumb enough to make a mistake like that. blah blah blah, the whole show is fake, the audience is the butt of the joke for being absorbed in reality tv show fag drama, i called it

sooo... as usual, there’s a lot going on in the mv. right now i can’t make sense of anything but... all of this happnened:
Tumblr media
i mean, what’s up twith the fish? where did that come from? what  am i missing?!
Tumblr media
this is obviously about the ‘Midnight State’.
Tumblr media
insert Skeleton reference here...
Tumblr media
again with Midnight, and maybe ‘The Shattering’? I mean, in the Skeleton mv it was pretty obvious that what shattered was an hourglass, there was sand and glass everywhere before they entered Elsewhere.
Tumblr media
what the actual fuck is this, though?
Tumblr media
this phone is british, on the number for emergency it says 999. and it’s not the receptionist phone, hers was yellow.
Tumblr media
random ear on a plate, because... why not.
Tumblr media
the Devil on a swing, because... again, why not.
and this happened:
Tumblr media
what.
i am more lost than i was with Why Do I?
loving it, though. fucking loving it.

If requests are open, would you be able to do a first with Childe? Where Childe is very soft and perhaps the reader calls him Ajax?
Maybe you noticed the whole masterlist is ruined and looks lifeless now (ง ื▿ ื)ว will be fixed tomorrow... And not until it happnens I won't update it ಥ_ಥ
I'm sorry this came out later than planned, I was in writer block and my family was busy again, that’s a reason, and the other reason is tumblr somehow didn’t save my draft so I had to start over, my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
First time with Childe ehe-
Note: Female reader, nsfw under the cut
→ Masterlist
-------
。Soft Childe supremacy
。He is really, really soft and gentle
。He’s so careful and afraid of hurting you
。Though he’s ready to mark you up wherever he wants-
。His bites aren’t too harsh so please don’t blame him ;;
。He loves your chest the most because it’s very soft bfdshbjckghj so expect things to happen
。Childe is pretty much a service top too on your first time, so he would do most of the work while all you need to do is to enjoy
。His tongue and fingers are strangely skillful, although he had never done this before with anyone
。He likes to trace kisses on your neck, shoulders, arms, hands, thighs....
。When he enters, he intertwines your fingers in his and starts as gentle as he can
。But he also often asks by himself, “Are you okay?”, “Did I overdo that? I’m sorry, I-I’ll be more careful from now on”, “It’s okay, we can stop if you want, I won’t be mad!” and such
。He would pet your hair, kiss you or lick away your tears to distract you from the slight burn- 😭
。His pace depends on how you like it, he only wants the best for you
。When you cry out his name, he’s a bit surprised, if it wasn’t his real name then he would jump more
。 “Princess... say my name again...”, “I said my name.”
。That’s when you realize he wants you to call him “Ajax” 🥺
。You’ll be sure to repeat it over and over that night
。He makes sure to make you come at least thrice before thinking of his own release, he just feels like it’s the right thing
。Childe is always a softie for you, and even much softer during aftercare, he does his best to clean both of you up, would run a warm bath and/or get you anything you need such as snacks or drinks
。Please, he loves it when you fall asleep on his chest!
。If you want him to be soft next time just tell him tomorrow <3

Okay, Jesus Christ I just finished the last two episodes of stranger things season four, and as a prime Eddie enjoyer you know I can’t just leave it like that, so hooo baby, we’re doing this shit, we’re making it HAPPNEN!!! We’re making fix-it-fics headcanons.
I literally just saw the last two episodes so maybe the headcanons are not the most canonically accurate but it’s better than nothing. I absolutely doubt it but if anyone reads this and wants to take bits and pieces for their own writing, by all means please do, just credit me.
MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR SEASON 4 AHEAD!!
Okay, first off, Eleven manages to fight off Vecna in time. Meaning the gang in the upside down is able to kill him before he kills Eddie or Max.
Max is lifted into the air and her arm is broken, so is a leg, but ultimately gets dropped before she flatlines. She passes out but she isn’t dead, Lucas cradles her in his arms until Erica can call her an ambulance.
Jason is still in the attic, the gate doesn’t open so he doesn’t die. He too is taken to the hospital. The kids are questioned by the police and the story is spun as an unjust assault against Lucas and Erica. All those involved in the assault face jail time, though Jason’s rich family bails him out.
Eddie lives, he’s banged up good but he lives. He thinks he may die, so he lays there in Dustin’s arms as the bats finally dissipate, he gives him his canonical speech before passing out.
Dustin assumes he's dead but has a twang of denial in him. When Steve, Nancy, and Robin return, they give him the best medical help they can and he ends up surviving.
The gate never opens as previously mentioned, and with vecna gone and no earthquake, they all have their happy reunion.
With the attack against Lucas and Erica, Jason becomes a suspect in the death of Chrissy and the brutal attack of max (they assume that her broken arm and leg are a product of him) and the story is spun from a satanic cult to an abusive boyfriend gone mad.
The town still hates Eddie, but at least he’s alive and gets to graduate
Max is in the hospital for a while, where Lucas often visits her. Jason was actually placed in a nearby unit, but after recognizing the two and entering a violent fit of rage where he nearly attacked the two again, he his switched to stay on the opposite side of the hospital, where he waits to face more serious charges.

Voyage of the Damned is an episode title that really comes at you. It tells you that this isn’t going to be a funtime Christmas episode. Instead, everyone dies. Well, not everyone. Just almost everyone.
The setup for Voyage of the Damned is “The Titanic, IN SPACE“, which tells you that things are about to go horribly wrong. Space aliens (who look exactly like humans) are cruising past Earth for some funky Christmas fun. But soon things go wrong! Oh noes!
Before things go wrong, Voyage of the Damned lures you in with its Christmas charm. The Doctor goes to a party and meets some nice people. He even goes to Earth, where he finds that everyone has left London due to impending disaster. Some old guy fills in the Doctor about this development, who will later return as Wilf, a top-tier one-off companion. And also grand-dad of Donna Noble.
You are also lured in by Astrid, played by special guest star Kylie. Astrid has big companion energy, with a backstory and yernings that make her seem like a perfect TARDIS friend. However, Voyage of the Damned is where having big companion energy starts becoming equal to having lots of death forshadowing. Thus, Astrid, who has many companion traits such as kindness, gumption and drive is tragically killed by Voyage of the Damned‘s need to kill, and the BBC’s inability to hire Kylie full-time.
Speaking of its need to kill, Voyage of the Damned is unrelenting in the way it unfolds. Once things go wrong, they go wrong to the maximum possible degree. One guy gets shot, most people get wiped out by the meteors, and then the Hosts murder most of the survivors. This is not happy Christmas viewing. The collapsing ship provides most of the danger, but there’s also killer robots, just to spice things up.
Voyage of the Damned reaches the peak of its bloodlust in the bridge scene. First, Morvin dies by stepping to the side. Which is ridiculous. We already know how dangerous the ship is - a guy got sucked out into space. Then Bannakaffalatta sacrifices himself to stop the Hosts, which actually works because we’ve had a bit of time to get to like him. Then Foon does a sacrifice, and it’s honestly just redundant. Also it comes of as mean-spirited that the characters demeaned for being poor and large die horribly. Are unintentional classist themes really the true meaning of Christmas?
Once half the cast has been somewhat pointlessly culled, we finally get to find out the villain behind all of this. Via some clever Doctor trickery, he gets the Hosts to take him to their leader. Turns out Max Capricorn is a loser and murdered a bunch of people because rich people are dicks. There’s some stuff about anti-cyborg discrimination going on which feeds into the motivation here, but it doesn’t quite work. Is it meant to be about ableism, or homophobia, or what? The general concept seems like it should be an ableism thing - both cyborg characters are like that as a consequence of medical issues. But Astrid has a line about cyborgs being able to get married, which is more associated with gay rights.
Anyhow, Max is defeated when Astrid uses her companion drive to forklift him to death. Except because we can’t have nice things in Christmas episode Voyage of the Damned, this kills her. Hooray for more angst, I guess. Then later, Astrid survives! Yay! Except only as a space ghost, which is pretty bittersweet, but at least she gets to fly around and see new places.
Of course, once Astrid was gone, Russel T. Davis decided that no, he hadn’t gone far enough in Last of the Time Lords. The Doctor declares himself the highest authority, and literally ascends, carried by angels, to the control. What. Why does this happnen? How is The Timeless Children not inevitable, when the Doctor is already being treated as a literally god!? Some religious groups got a bit cross at this, which is understandable because it’s just really over the top and not in the good way. Sometimes, subtly is a thing that is good.
The ending of Voyage of the Damned is just the generic ending, really. The Doctor does a Doctor thing to save the world (oh yeah the world is in danger again can these specials never be local). Side characters go off to disappear. The Doctor then hops in the TARDIS to go be sad about Martha leaving, probably.
So, what’s the conclusion on Voyage of the Damned? I... don’t know? It’s honestly kind of weird. It’s surprisingly dark, especially for a Christmas episode. The villainous motivation is meh, and the stakes honestly feel overblown. There’s nothing really wrong with the execution, although some of the stuff maybe shouldn’t have escaped the cutting room. Well, I suppose one of the Tenth Doctor Christmas Specials had to be the worst, and Voyage of the Damned probably claims that unprize for itself.

Hatamaou Short Story “Risk Your Life While Working, Dullahan!” Summary
This is actually a very old short story, but I recently dug up the summary thread on the Chinese forums after remembering it exists. This is basically the events of the first 2 volumes from Dullahan’s point of view. And some part in volume 3 when Dullahan II was bought and Dullahan’s original light was installed on it.
2 weeks after that incident in volume 1, Emi would go over every day to spy on them. This day, nothing much happened, she felt bored and tried to ride Dullahan, but she did not need to buy a bicycle. As she got off, because she did not park it properly, she was almost hit by the bicycle as it fell over. Just as she set it upright, Maou opened the window and shouted, "Isn't that enough, coming over everyday just to spy on us! I'm going to report you for stealing the bicycle!" Emi said, "Weren't you able to take the bicycle home because I was your guarantor, would reporting me for stealing the bicycle bring you any benefits?!"
Flashback section, because Maou did not really know how to ride a bicycle, Dullahan was frequently injured ever since it was bought, his loyalty would not be shaken because of small injuries like this, but recently, after meeting Emi, he became more seriously injured, frequently getting knocked onto the ground and even had his tire burst, feeling that he was going to be broken beyond repair soon.
Back to the main text, Emi was saying "Who would want to steal such a battered up bicycle!" Maou said, "Either way, today is my break and I will staying at home, hurry up and leave." Even though Emi did not believe it, but she also wanted to leave. Before she left, she talked about her eating sushi with Chiho, asking him to quickly repair his relationship with Chiho. Dullahan's perception of Chiho was, that person who became more proactive ever since the day Emi appeared. When Lucifer appeared, he also saw Chiho run out in tears, but Maou did not ride him after that, so he didn't know anything about what happnened afterwards, only seeing Emerada and Alberto being brought back by Emi, then saw Maou carrying Ashiya and Lucifer back. That day, Dullahan heard that Maou was a demon, but he did not understand what a demon was, only trembling because he sensed that his master had an unknown secret.
Some time passed after that, and everyone, including Emi, felt that Suzuno was very suspicious. Not long after, Chiho came over with a very scary expression on her face, Dullahan concluded that she came to declare war, so what kind of tragedy would his master get into. However, all of them came out normally, it was just that there was an additional person eating together with them. After that, when Maou came out pushing the bicycle, he was pulled over by Chiho to chat. Dullahan, being more sensitive than Maou, realised this is a form of attack, and he felt that ever since that day he heard about "Demons", Chiho finally sorted about her feelings. Then Chiho confessed.
At that moment, Maou stopped the bicycle, and his grip on the brakes was 50% stronger than normal, but before Maou could reply anything, Suzuno butted in, and Dullahan was suddenly snatched by Chiho and she ran away. Because she was cycling so fast, the heat from the friction was so hot that he felt it was painful, and he prayed with all his might to the deity of bicycles that he would not encounter a huge disaster such as falling over. When the bicycle was stopped in front of Chiho's house, Dullahan objectively analysed the differences in feeling when being ridden by a man and a high school girl. In the end, because Chiho was too ashamed, she did not realise that she had snatched the bicycle and ran. After that, Chiho was extremely happy that she successfully confessed.
Dullahan did not know how the relationship between Chiho and Maou would change from now on. When Chiho apologised to Dullahan, Dullahan suddenly had a very bad feeling. After that, when Chiho rode the bicycle to MgRonalds, she apologised normally as if the confession had nver happened. As a bicycle, Dullahan only hoped that his master could lead a stable life with some exciting elements.
Dullahan, who felt tired because of human relationships suddenly felt a chill, but he did not know where it came from. After 9pm, Emi accompanied Chiho home, Dullahan sensed that there was another set of footsteps behind the pair. After some time, Maou ran out holding a mop, getting on the bicycle and rushing. Dullahan felt he was a battle horse carrying Maou and rushing forward. However, the traffic was jammed because of various reasons, Maou rushed forward without caring about anything. Experiencing many close shaves, if a bicycle could break out into cold sweat, Dullahan felt that he would have been covered in cold sweat already.
Then from what Maou said, Dullahan deduced that something might have happened to Chiho, and it suddenly became determined, because he was the only one who could send Maou to Chiho, he must risk his life to finish this mission. Maou broke a few traffic rules one after another and encountered a red light, the police were shouting as well, but he could not stop. As a result, Dullahan suddenly felt that he was flying. Even though he only flew for three seconds, it was something which went against the laws of the universe. He was unharmed after landing, Maou continued to cycle forward while covered in sweat, and praised Dullahan "As expected from the prized mount of the Demon King."
After more than 10 minutes, they finally reached the bottom of Tokyo Metropolian building, discovering Sariel's barrier, Maou rode inside after breaking the barrier, saying "Dullahan, I am counting on you on the return trip as well" continuing with his rush towards the high rise building. At this moment, in Dullahan's narrower field of vision because of the broken front headlight, Suzuno appeared with a huge hammer. At that moment, Dullahan decided to step forward bravely, helping Maou block the huge hammer. When his whole body broke apart, only one wish was left in his heart.
Going straight to the beginning of Volume 3, Suzuno bought a new bicycle to compensate Maou, Maou took off the reflective panel from Dullahan and installed it on the new bicycle. The moment he stuck it on, the new bicycle saw the memories of Dullahan, it was Maou groaning about why Dullahan could not be fixed. The new bicycle knew that the old bicycle was broken by Suzuno, and was surprised why it was Suzuno who bought him. At that time, Maou still missed Dullahan very much, and with his identity as Demon King, he was very grateful that Dullahan helped him rush over to save Chiho and Emi. The memories in the reflective panel caused the new bicycle to know about the main characters, and he also knew that Dullahan's last wish (regret) was that he was unable to send Maou home. Then the new bicycle was named as Dullahan II, and he decided to devote his heart and body to fulfil the wishes of his master.
END
Thoughts
When Dullahan broke, I felt more sad than I should.
It was funny to know that Dullahan could actually objectively analyse the difference between a man and a high school girl riding on him lol.
