WELCOME TO THE ERAS TOUR!

summary: the eras tour comes to the devildom! how excited are they for the hottest show in town? pairing: demon brothers (excluding belphie and beel) x gn!reader, suggestive (asmo) a/n: hi my name is rose and ill be your host this evening :p this has been a long time coming.. :0 sorry for the puns. i will take any chance to relive the best night of my life. hope you enjoy I had a lot of fun thinking about the bros going to the eras tour bc they r just so silly. apologies for not including belphie and beel, i love them but not enough to write them </3

LUCIFER - evermore (ivy, marjorie, happiness).

-> Lucifer does not understand the hype around the eras tour. Loud and large events arent really his scene, but he goes to have this shared experience with you. He values its importance because you are so excited and he would do anything to keep you smiling at him like that.

-> Leading up to the concert, to get him excited you gift him some of her albums on vinyl that you'd think he enjoy. I think he would really love folklore and evermore because of their instrumentals. I also see him enjoying Lover songs. If he is less perceptive to listening to her albums, start playing piano-only versions of her music to lure him into discovering other parts of her discography.

-> As I mentioned before, Lucifer would prefer piano instrumentals, impressed that the meaning of the song is still conveyed without knowing the words. 

-> To make him less grumpy take him on a Taylor Swift mjuseum tour!! I think he would appreciate learning more about Taylor's life before connecting to her music. He also just loves a good tour.

MAMMON - reputation (i did something bad, dress, new years day).

-> Girl the amount of debt he owes to witches triples when he learns that you like taylor swift. prepared to be spoiled with taylor merch and lots of it. (he definitely has bets on what surprise songs she might play).

-> Mammon is more of an r&b kind of demon but I think he can still appreciates the different genres taylor has explored. 

->i can see him resonating a lot with fearless (golden color -> grimm/how it feels when you look at him), reputation bc what if one day he leans into the scumbag roll his brothers assigned him? it's also the love album of taylor swift albums.

->He'll “never” let you know his true feelings about Taylor but it's obvious he likes her because you do. Days leading up to the concert you hear him humming melodies of her songs- of course he'd learn the setlist for ya, he wouldn't embarrass you- himself by not knowin’ the words!

LEVIATHAN - 1989 (TV) (new romantics, how you get the girl, wildest dreams).

-> Let's be real, Levi bought you the tickets because he understands the hype and needing to see your favorite artist in person. Plus, you would do the same for him. However, he is super nervous about being in such a giant crowd. He goes back and forth about wanting to go- surely you’ll have a better time with someone else right? Give him plenty of reassurance that he is the one you want and all will be well!

-> Goes all out for the costumes. He makes the perfect couples costumes for you two to wear and you guys slay! It’s more song themed than you guys trying to look hot (think evermore tree)  At the show everyone is complimenting your fits- Levi gets embarrassed when you give him credit for the costume work.

-> Omg all his karaoke sessions instead of anime songs it's Taylor songs now. I see him being a 1989 girlie because of its high energy. Similar to Lucifer, I think if there are any anime rendition covers of her songs or any video games Taylor related he will love it lol. I'm picturing like Taylor Swift meets Hatsune Miku Colorful Stage.

-> Overall is so happy he went, is super impressed with the choreography and stages Taylor set up for her different eras. Congrats Taylor! A new swiftie has been obtained.

-> Omg side note- he definitely is able to get the rare merch (like the cardigans) and will wait all day for any contests/enter so many giveaways just for you.

SATAN - red (TV) (state of grace, better man, run)

-> I think Satan finds out about Taylor Swift before the Eras Tour was even a thing because of some cat themed merchandise of hers that you were wearing. Learning of her love for her cats gets an easy Satan stamp of approval.

-> Satan learns about her history and delves deep into her lore and how the entertainment industry works in the human world. He finds it fascinating that there are a lot of hollywood/entertainment industry mysteries. I can see him taking a particular interest in old Hollywood unsolved murder cases. 

-> As for his favorite album, I see Satan loving Red, the songs on that album have that fall study vibe and delve into more angstier emotions. I see him appreciating evermore and folklore as well for their storytelling ability.

-> At the concert, he is there to vibe with you but is on the chiller side. Will only consider dressing up if you really want him to do (and its cat related (see: the person who dressed up as Taylor’s character from cats))

ASMODEUS - midnights (maroon, bejeweled, vigilante shit)

-> Asmo is def going with you to spend time with you and for the vibes, he can’t turn down a good party! He feels a bit jealous with how excited you are, like he could do the Eras Tour right at home for you <3 Only during and after the show he understands your excitement; Taylor is gorgeous and ate her performance. His favorite sections were Lover and Vigilante Shit <3

-> Another incentive for Asmo to go is the promise that he can dress you up! Similar to Levi, he loves a good costume moment. However, he goes for the looks to kill approach instead of cosplaying different things in her songs or her previous outfits.

-> Asmo will learn most of her music but doesn’t really care about that- he’s there to see you look adorable and record you having the time of your life. He swears there isn’t anything more enchanting than when your favorite era begins. 

P.S. - the friendship bracelets with the brothers go hard. you make their own individual ones with their name and signature color

Responses to Week 5 Readings

Mr. Lisa goes to Washinton D.C.:

Learn by experiences. We are taught to believe certain things, act in certain ways solely by being taught about American history in a very specific way. Why does the American education system not just speak the damn truth about our history and stop putting us on a high horse for murdering almost 80% of a whole culture! We stole land, we committed genocide, we are CURRENTLY committing a genocide by tearing children away from their families. I always feel so uneducated on this subject because I can’t reference certain dates or names or big timeline changes. have we really put enough effort into raising children to finally change the American way?

like honestly, I just looked up on google, “what was the last country to abolish slavery, Mauritania is.

“Mauritania’s endless sea of sand dunes hides an open secret: An estimated 10% to 20% of the population lives in slavery. But as one woman’s journey shows, the first step toward freedom is realizing you’re enslaved.”

I am so amazed at the process of initiating change, so many people are anti-change which really just means white privilege. Its fighting for your future, putting your whole soul into something you believe in, demanding that enough is enough and not stop the fight until you reach that desire. I think to the Kavanagh case, where so many older women had these few moments of “is this really it? is their final justice for women?” then when he was elected I seriously saw so much hope in older women just DROP. Older women are SO supportive of young women who are fighting the fight. So many of them feel that the Kavanagh case and the election of Trump vs Hillary were 2 big tests that will lead the future of America. If a woman is elected, that's a big ass deal. If a supreme court judge is proved guilty for sexual assault, that a damn big deal. But the BIG AMERICAN WHITE MEN will never be okay with any of that.

Lisa’s experience is Washington lead to this for me. We are raised to believe such high thoughts about the American way, but when people who are actually interested in positive evolving and equality for all, we research and we learn the nasty truth of our American culture. Some people fight for the change, some people are too afraid of the change because they lose that power. BUT, Lisa learned this, she was so supportive and excited and eager to represent, until she learned something she wasn’t taught, something that was kinda hidden from her in our culture. Freedom speech. Teach em young if we really want change to come.

Transgender female gamer:

I am really thankful for the experience of reading this article. I think this was the perfect time to read this article. With the fucked up shit, Trump is trying to pull on Transgender people, seriously? I want to talk about this. I want to learn more about what exactly he is HOPING to do with this bill. What is coming from it? It is not doing anything good, and anyone that believes or supports I view as murders. Trying to take the existence away from a group of people because you don't agree with their lifestyles and beliefs. it's sickening.

But also this article touches on a really important prevalent problem that goes on in the world, the cyber network is largely an abusive network, and I have experienced it many times since starting this new project of mine. The computer is a screen for fucked up people to make fantasies come true, and just to play a sick game. At first with my experience of cyberbullying, I just said shove it off, its just a comment, don't engage with them. & I did ignore it. UNTIL 3 guys started attacking me and my followers and threatening to rape us because we are “women and we deserve to be raped.” I posted a statistic “1 of 4 girls in the U.S. experience sexual assault before 18.” and comments such as “Lets get it to 3 out of 4 girls by 2020, who’s with me” yeah that really fucked up comment, but the REALLY fucked up part is when about 9 people LIKED HIS COMMENTS! THESE PEOPLE BREATHE ARE AIR AND WALK THIS EARTH. I CAN NOT FATHOM HAS SICK, SAD, FUCKD UP, AND INSECURE THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE TO FEEL ITS OKAY TO ATTACK PEOPLE BECAUSE of THEY ARENT LIKE THEM.

Albina District:

When I moved to PDX and preparing to move here, I had no knowledge of this. I viewed Portland as a diverse, evolving city that is aware of many social struggles and obstacles. Since moving here I have definitely learned otherwise; with where I work, with this article, and how diverse the city really isn't actually.

I think this is such an important article and piece of Portland history that everyone that lives here, visits, and makes art here should definitely be aware of. I couldn’t help but ask myself the whole time while i was reading, “have I been here? What is it like now?” Turns out I have visited the Albina district and parts of it have actually been some of the neighborhoods I have enjoyed most, like Mississippi & Alberta. This just shows that now the city of PDX is totally gentrifying that neighboorhood again by trying to make it a “hip art scene.” I was talking to some of my local friends around the time I was reading this and 2 of the 3 didn't know about the history, both are Hispanic, whether that is important or not, they didn't know about the history of the neighborhood. the other friend knew all about it and even mentioned the underground tunnels of sex trafficking in Portland, called the “Shanghai Tunnels.” She has said that she noticed the cultural differences that are still ever present in the area, I said I never noticed, she said yeah because Portland tries its best to cover it up yet still trying to keep minorities out. It really is a racist town.

I thought my small town was just a small town where just most older community members were just racist and seen as normal, I wanted to leave this so bad. I moved to Portland. Racism is everywhere. In a city, I had so many high thoughts about for being diverse and aware in the country, but so present here. Wealth, Racism, discrimination is all over the city of Portland. Racists do not see the wrong in their thoughts. Wealthy talking shit about the homeless, like help them then? Do something about it, instead of saying “get them out of here.” Same with the topic of the wall, it seems that all the wealthy care about is making sure minorities never get the money they have. So fucked up.

“I do not want to invite or oblige viewers to become interactive with what I do: I do not want to activate the public. I want to give of myself, to engage myself to such a degree that viewers confronted with th work can take part and become involved, but not as actors.”

The strawberry Island quest of Greatness

ok, do you guys know the Wiiu? it has this thing called miiverse. its kinda like tumbler, except not really. its for the games on the wiiU. Anyways, i found these papers, and it had this weird strawberry story i wrote with this guy on miiverse and i just wanted yall to read it! (If yall even want to read it) We each wrote about a few sentences each before switching. And no, there are NO CHARACTER NAMES! NOR DO I KNOW THE AGES OF THE CHARACTERS! I'M SORRY!!! anyways, here it is!!!:

Him:Welcome!!!! May i take your order?

Her:Strawberrys please! And make it snappy!Him: as you with your strawberrynesss.

Him:your strawberrys are here, shall i feed you?

Her:No thanks, i can feed my self. Now shoo! before i call the strawberry administrators for strawberry bullying!

Him: Bullying? Thats it i quit!!!

Her: You cant quit! get back here!Her (To other person): Hello sir! can i speak to the manager?

him: No

Her: (Throws tempertantrum) I WILL SPEAK TO THE MANAGER SO HELP ME I WILL( Explosion of her brain)

Him: (Scared voice) Yes, right this way mam.

Her:Thankyou. NOW GET MOVING! I WILL NOT WAIT ANY LONGER!

Him(Talks to boss): Sir, a lady is asking to speak 2 u

Boss:Bring her in then, and leave us alone.

him;yeah, its kindof a long story

boss; i should have known...

him; dont think about it too much alright
