Wait a minute, they used Na Na Na in Renfield, a vampire movie... Which presumably means that they paid My Chemical Romance for use of that song... Which means....
They finally did it. MCR got their vampire money!

Sweet Pea- Grease Is The Word
Look At Me I’m Sandra Dee
Tumblr media
That evening I'm at Betty's house with the girls plus Kevin. We’re currently trying to catch gummy bears in our mouths
"Okay, I'm gonna try it" Betty says opening her mouth. Cheryl takes some gummy bears and trying to throw them into Betty's mouth
"Whoo" we all yell when she does it
"Okay, can we please order pizza from Little Cicero's?" Betty begs. Toni scoffs a little "guys it's not a sleep over without a greasy pizza. Right Kev?" We all look over at Kevin who's sat on Betty's window seat looking out
"Kev?" I sit up from my position on Betty's bed
"Sorry it's just... working on the variety show made me feel like I was reconnecting with pre farm Kevin” I frown feeling confused
“Long story” Toni says, still making me feel confused
“Mr Honey didn't just take that from me. He made me feel like I was nothing. Like I didn't matter" Kevin sighs looking back out of the window
"You know something that makes me feel better?" Betty says “make over”
"I hear what your saying Betty but I'm not sure
even a makeover will help" Kevin speaks. Kevin's words mean nothing and the girls all take out makeup and wigs. We all give each other a make overs and dress up.
“Everyone try this” Veronica takes out a bottle from her bag “this is mine and Cheryl’s rum. Try it” she hands the bottle to Betty who takes a sip. The bottle is passed around until it gets to me
“Oh no I’m ok thank you though”
“Come on just a sip” Cheryl encourages
“Hey if she doesn’t want to don’t pressure her” Betty defends me
“It’s just we have school tomorrow and I don’t…”
“You don’t drink?” Cheryl asks. I shake my head no “ok fine but your missing out” she goes to take the bottle from my hands
“Ok wait. Just a little sip can’t hurt right?” I take the tiniest sip which causes me to cough
“Should have warned you it may burn a little” Cheryl shrugs
“Hey YN why don’t you try out for the cheer team. We’re all on it” Josie says
“Oh I don’t know I’m not that good”
“That’s ok, Cheryl can help can’t you?”
“I can?”
“Look I don’t want to be a bother so…”
“No it’s fine. You wanna hang with us, you gotta be like us”
“I’m going to wash off my makeup” I tell the girls and head into Betty’s bathroom. When I return though I hear Josie saying some horrible things
“Are you making fun of me Josie?”
“If the shoe fits” Josie says getting up
“She’s just jealous because a few summers ago her and Sweet Pea had a fling. She didn’t want to go public and so he moved on” Cheryl says
“Whatever”
The following day I enter the gym while no one else is in there to practice and stretch. I try to go down into the spilts, like Cheryl showed me, but I get a little stuck
“Hey YN” I gasp hearing Sweet Pea’s voice behind me
“Hi” I feel his arms around me lifting me up
“Since when we’re you a cheerleader?”
“Oh Veronica said I should” I walk away from him, not wanting to be close by him
“Hey your not upset about yesterday are you? Couldn’t you tell I was glad to see ya?”
“Well you could have been a little nicer to me in front of your friends”
“You don’t know them. Especially Reggie. If it were up to me I wouldn’t look at another girl”
“Well it is up to you”
“Cheryl’s having a party Friday night. Why don’t you come with me, so I can make it up to you”
“Fine but you’ve got some making up to do” I say crossing my arms. Sweet Pea walks over to me, he moves a stray hair from my face and tucks it behind my ear
“Hey guys” Josie says walking over. Sweet Pea and I move away from one another
“Sweet Pea my mom said you should come over for dinner again tomorrow night” Josie says emphasising the words ‘again’
“Pea?” I frown “why were you at hers? You just said…”
“I know what I just said. I was only there for homework”
“You know what I can’t wait wait to make a good impression on those cute letterman’s”
“Oh so that’s the real reason your wearing that”
“Don’t tell me your jealous Sweet Pea” I pout
“What? me jealous? I don’t get jealous”
“Fine so you won’t mind me cheering in front of the bulldogs”
“Na”
“Good”
“Good”
“Fine”
“Fine”
“Hmm” I turn and leave the gym.

Companion concept art for my collab with @professorcalculusstanaccount (which you can see here)! They needed reference for Marlene Katz's apartment, and then I tried my hand drawing some moments from their concept - her disguise, the finale, and helping give Tintin a makeover.
Extended notes below the cut:
With her apartment, I've always envisioned Marlene living with very kitschy decor. As I said to ProfCal, she's someone who decorates based on sentimentality, rather than keeping to a uniform style, so I tried to make her apartment have little bits and pieces of furniture and decor she's picked up throughout her travels. That doll on the mantle is based on a real Cuban doll I have in my home!
Tumblr media
The placement of the evil eye wall ornament was also deliberate. When ProfCal described what they wanted to do with the shootout gif, I thought it would be cool to put in something that's both a sentimental piece of art and symbolic of Marlene's Jewish heritage. The evil eye took the hit for her in that scene.
Story planning assistance was also fun to do, since it ties into a lot of stuff I was planning for The Shattered Emblem...after the events of The Blue Lotus, Rastapopoulos goes to jail, but gets a lighter sentence after making a few bribes. He begins to worm his way into the more criminally-inclined celebrity class, mainly to rebuild connections, especially ones who can help him bend the law better this time. He even crosses paths with Castafiore thanks to his new links to the elites, but the one thing tethering him to his "old" life pre-arrest is Marlene. She's never given up hope on him, even after he got tried for running an actual fucking mob, but Rastapopoulos has only seen her as an air-headed bimbo, a product of being rich and famous and not someone who can actively make him money, so he unceremoniously dumps her.
Marlene is shattered. She goes back to America and she starts teaching ballet to kids in the Bronx, since dance was what she first got into stage productions for. Things actually go really well, and Marlene realizes she likes her new life and being self-sustaining. However, she still misses being in films, even though she's scared to really get back into the industry in case she sees him again. But then he comes to Marlene, now sporting different, ridiculous facial hair and claiming to be a businessman from Gorgonzola, like a character in a bad screenplay. Every nerve in Marlene refuses to trust Rastapopoulos now...it's not because he looks different, but something seems to have warped inside him. This isn't her "Robbie" anymore. She breathes a sigh of relief when all the newspapers declare the Marquis drowned during a standoff in the Red Sea.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(This is a way sillier version of this scene versus the one in my drafts)
And then, leading up to The Golden Palm - Marlene begins to realize she saw a lot of suspicious faces and activities during her time at Cosmos Pictures. It was all so mundane and inconspicuous that she never brought it up, and Rastapopoulos never seemed to hide anything from her, since he assumed - again - that she was an airhead and not to worry about her noticing. But Marlene was witness to a lot of connections that the people involved would kill to keep hidden...
For people new to my blog, this is the character Marlene is adapted from! She is super minor to the plot, but back in 2020 I kept getting ideas for what this random woman's story was, and the ball kept rolling from there:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Once again, huge thanks to ProfCal for inviting me to collab with them! It was a ton of fun, and also super humbling to know how helpful my blog has been for others over the years. To think that all of this started after a few shitposts about mobsters! Tintin belongs to the fans, and I'm so glad to have been part of a fan project like this!

Sage Bond was a pretty trash love interest tbh
I used to think MLP Fever's version of Sage did him really dirty and kind of demonized him but then I realized, she's absolutely right to portray Sage as a superficial player because that's who he really was.
Sage in the original Popular didn't even notice Savannah or knew she existed until she had her makeover before that all he did was brush her off with an "um..hi?" in their english class when she first sat by him pre makeover. Then when he and post makeover Savvy spent literally one evening together working on their assignment he immediately was going to dump Brooke for her because she just conveniently "gets him more".
That's another thing I know people hate Brooke and she is the stereotypical evil character we're supposed to hate but she is a person too and Sage did her the dirtiest getting involved with Savannah all of a sudden. Sage was talking poorly about Brooke to Savannah about her obvious ED that he brushed off as an "annoying starving thing" and then when he thought he liked Savvy better after one good interaction together he was going to throw away their three year relationship for a new shiny model and immediately start dating Savvy.
I also hate how sophiegtv acted like Sage was totally innocent and oblivious to what a mean girl Brooke was (even though she treated people badly right in front of him) and the pass he gave was oh well she was so pretty that I couldn't see her ugly heart 🤓.
Idk aside from maybe being a really caring and attentive boyfriend to both of them I don't see why Sage had to be the biggest issue dividing Brooke and Savannah he is honestly terrible for both of them in the long run and isn't worth the shipping war he's caused so now I'm happy in the remake he was written off and forgotten after I realized how shit Sage actually was.

RENOUCED.
(click on photo for better image quality)
Tumblr media
“Mon dieu… Merci de tout coeur you beautiful beast… You saved my life…”
Once a dragon hunter. Now, a respectable dragon rider on the outpost. Or… as respectable as Rook can be, at least. More of an oddball, even amongst his other dragon rider peers. He’s a rider with an innate fascination for all kinds of dragons, and spends much of his time studying them in depth.
HTTYD TWST AU - ROOK (pre-outpost) done !
This piece i actually finished awhile ago, just never got around to posting but im SUPER proud of it. It’s definitely not like the best photo in the world or anything but its one of my best and i think it’s gorgeous so :>
and now, second verse same as the first, more extra thoughts :
• Before becoming a rider, Rook Hunt was a dragon hunter. An incredibly skilled one at that because he did what many others tended not to do with dragons. He observed them. Watched them closely, learned their ins and outs and then used them to hunt. It’s a past he acknowledges was a part of him, but isn’t one he talks about often.
• But he’s always found dragons absolutely fascinating creatures, and has always respected them as admirable foe. He killed what was necessary, and spent the rest of his time merely watching them though of course it’s not much excuse. If it ever came down to it to protect the outpost and those he cared about, Rook knows he could kill one again, even if it would make the others at their home upset.
• The reason he renounced his ways was thanks to his now partner dragon: Bête des Arbres or merely Treecutter for those less inclined to use Rook’s nicknames. (Rook refers to each dragon calling them Bête de BLANK - which means beast of trees in Treecutter’s case - a similar way he calls the Housewardens or Outpost leaders Roi de ____. Beast for him is used much more endearingly but a few other outposts inhabitants have expressed minimal discomfort with him calling them such.)
• Treecutter had saved Rook from the brink of death when the hunter had encountered a rather nasty pack of speed stingers intent on turning the hunter into the hunted. He’d been injured semi severely during the chase. But in that very moment, when Treecutter had lowered their head for him, Rook vowed to renounce his hunting ways.
• After that, he soon met Leona! Who immediately disliked Rooks executrices and used the next easiest excuse (Vil, who’d joined their party a little after) and pawned the Ex-Hunter off on the runaway noble. Then Vil gave Rook a makeover and the rest is history!
• (And warning mild SPOILERS for ENG players but ^ is the reason Rook is in his first year attire in the photo and might be a little less recognizable,,, )

The Steaks Are High
I remember all too well that time in the early-1970s when there was a spike in the price of beef. My Dad the Accountant was also the primary shopper in the family, and he knew the price of every grocery product in Chicagoland. Well, it seemed like he did, because back when gas was cheap, it was actually prudent to cherry-pick a few items here, a few more there, and so forth. In the end, the cupboards and refrigerator were filled.
But the price of beef scared him into a new reality, because he could not find anyone with what he saw as a competitive price. Instead, he had read about some newfangled soybean burgers that were packed in protein, cost less than beef, and were quite possibly the future of dining.
He bought some, and I can still recall the taste of cardboard. They were horrible, not even close to the real deal. It was also the first time I had ever knowingly encountered soybeans as food, which was ironic because our house sat right at the edge of a soybean farm on the far southern reaches of Chicagoland. I had no clue what they used them for.
Skip forward to the 1990s, and food science had done a complete makeover on what we now know as veggie burgers (thank you, marketing!). They actually tasted pretty good, and when dressed properly, were a reasonable substitute. If you were vegan, vegetarian, an ethical consumer, or just wanting to try something different, they were legit.
More recently, Beyond and Impossible have introduced the best versions of meat substitutes yet. They are truly lab foods, and are now reaching ubiquity in supermarkets and restaurants. The mouth feel, the redness, even the juices spilling forth, are the closest approximations yet of a beef burger on the grill. They are so close that the cattle industry is rightfully a little nervous, and in some states, their lobbying groups have pushed for legislation regulating basic food terms, such as “meat,” “beef,” and others. Gotta keep those consumers from becoming confused, you know.
Lab foods require over-the-top marketing, though. It’s one thing to buy a garment made from a different fabric, or any number of other consumables. But when it comes to the things we put in our mouth, you better be careful. I recall my ultra cycling years, primarily the 1980s and 1990s, but a little into this century. If you wanted to be competitive, you had to consume sports nutrition on the fly. This meant no burgers and burritos, because they can do a stomach bad when racing. Food scientists, though, came through and brought us innovative products like Ultra Energy, which they touted as being “pre-digested.”
Now if there is any word or phrase that can turn a stomach, it is “pre-digested.” It just sounds bad. Never mind it simply meant the powdered concoction, once reconstituted with water, would be absorbed quickly within the body, allowing for a continuous source of energy. Drink one of these every hour (550 calories), and you’ll be able to go day and night.
It still sounded like yuck, and we all called it Ultra Eulogy. Where were the marketers when they needed it? The name was good, but the other print on the package was a death wish as far as branding goes. Today, manufacturers such as Hammer Nutrition have worked out the kinks as well as the taste, and they skip all the nasty verbiage and focus instead on the results.
Which brings me to the dinner table finally, and the talk last week about lab-grown meat is once again making headlines. It is coming soon, thanks to a new FDA ruling giving it the green light. It’s just that, once again, the food scientists have been doing all the business planning.
Tumblr media
Even out here in West Texas, people are OK with some folks eating Beyond and Impossible. You can find them everywhere. But lab-grown meat? That might just be taking things too far. Cattle ranchers know that the vegans and vegetarians among us will likely always be just a small percentage of the population, and even the others who want to try one occasionally are a blip on the radar.
But these new “meats” will be aimed squarely at carnivores, meaning that all those ranchers and feedlot owners will be shaking in their boots far more than any veggie burger might make them uneasy.
The arguments in favor of lab meat are multiple. The meats, which are cultivated from animal cells, can be produced without ethical consideration of creatures crammed into small pens. The carbon footprint is much smaller, right down to the fact it takes six pounds of feed to produce one pound of beef at the feedlot. And let’s not forget the unpleasant smell, which some folks around here argue is the smell of money. It’s at that time I invoketh Shakespeare. “Cow poop by any other name would smell as pungent.” Or something like that.
In case you’re wondering, lab-grown meat is not a total panacea, because vegans and vegetarians still will not eat it, because animal cells. But will the other 95%? It’s going to take some serious marketing to take the lab out of the lab-grown meat so that people feel like they are eating something good, about as much of a challenge those soybean burger makers faced in the 70s.
Consumers don’t have to worry just yet about mistaking it at the supermarket—that time will come, though—but these new products will start appearing in restaurants. And you know what? You might not even know it. Heck, it took federal legislation a few years ago to force chains with 20 or more units to list calorie counts on menu items. Do you think a restaurant is going to put the word “lab” anywhere on the menu?
I think not.
And you thought that GMO foods was a big deal. I am betting that lab meat will elicit howls of disapproval across the country, especially in cattle-rich West Texas. It’s one thing to make the vegans and vegetarians happy, but it is quite another to let a bunch of scientists start whittling away at your livelihood, the one thing for which this part of Texas is best known.
Heck, they may as well just have a 72-ounce tofu challenge over at the Big Texan. That idea, while offered in jest, is about as under-cooked as the lab meat coming our way. At least for now.

kinnporsche princess diaries au
okay but please consider an au where everything up to the finale happened BEFORE PORSCHE like the minor family coup and kinn taking over with korn lurking in the shadows. but the minor family needs a new leader. naturally this position should go to the long lost eldest son of the kittisawads. cue korn wearing his best julie andrews disguise and showing up at porsche and chay’s home.
porsche is still doing the same old same old pre-kinn routine of lore
he meets kinn differently though-- kinn comes into hum bar with time and tay and porsche flirts it up (for tips. not because kinn is hot. because he’s not.) kinn humors him and tips well
one day korn shows up at porsche’s door and says “youre the heir to this mafia family” and porsche says “shut up” in his best anne hathaway voice and tries to kick korn out
korn explains (threatens) porsche that people gunning for the minor family power will be trying to eliminate porsche now that gun is six feet under and vegas is no longer able to take up the position (read: korn wont let him)
porsche does not care
korn brings out the big guns: chay will also be in danger
suddenly porsche’s ears are open
korn says that if porsche accepts his new role then chay will be able to go to the best schools and have every opportunity open to him and he will be safe (he is not manipulative. he swears.) 
so porsche reluctantly agrees to try out this whole mafia thing. 
korn makes sure chay gets a “””scholarship””” to his dream uni, effectively keeping him out of harms way but also his way
porsche comes to the compound and lo and behold, there is kinn
i personally would like to see porsche stomp on kinn’s foot a la princess diaries 2 bc porsche is embarrassed and thinks that kinn knew about this whole mess when he came to the bar. (kinn did. he wanted to see what street rat his father picked up to take over the minor family. he didn’t expect porsche to be so charming.)
porsche is very bad not good at this mafia thing. he half asses all of his training with chan (who i imagine to be the very reluctant joe equivalent in this universe)
until things go really really badly one day. people die because of porsche’s mistakes, and he’s haunted by it. he wants to be better, because the weight of his responsibilities is finally hitting. he swallows his pride and goes to kinn for help. 
kinn basically says there’s no use trying because porsche is just a pawn in korn’s game anyway. porsche is the perfect candidate for the head of the minor family because he has no experience and can be easily influenced. korn couldnt control gun, so he got rid of him. korn thinks porsche will be much easier to mold. 
oh this makes porsche BIG MAD
like. REALLY REALLY MAD
you know who overheard that whole thing? tankhun
tankhun, who has been underestimated and undervalued for so long, and is SICK AND TIRED of his father’s games, sees porsche and decides thats his blorbo
cue revenge montage where porsche takes a minor family for dummies crash course taught by arm
porsche is supposed to attend his first major meeting with the heads of all the clans and tankhun decides that this is the time for a paulo-style makeover 
”tankhun is exhausted. because he takes this--” points to a picture of porsche mid sneeze, “--and this--” a picture of porsche asleep and drooling, “and give you THIS”
arm and pol, in unison, “a mafia boss”
pete claps from his spot on tankhun’s sofa
anyways porsche shows up to the meeting and it’s tense but he manages to hold his own, much to the chagrin of kinn
but the problems are only beginning!! because there is discontent among the clans that porsche is literally a civilian with 0 experience, and thinks either 1) kinn should just absorb the minor clan’s businesses into one theerapanyakul conglomerate or 2) bring vegas back somehow
tankhun, as always, has a suggestion: porsche needs to make an “”””alliance”””” with another heir to a clan.
cue that scene in princess diaries 2 where theyre going through eligible bachelors except it’s mafia heirs/heiresses that arm put together in a tidy powerpoint and theyre going through it on tankhun’s sofa eating caramel popcorn
porsche goes on a series of dates/meetings/whatever you want to call them, and accidentally ends up charming the pants off of all of them bc lets face it porsche is adorable and sexy all at once and it’s throws everyone for a loop. he ends up with a harem. because he needs that.
kinn_watching_in_jealous_rage_from_a_corridor.gif
MEANWHILE IN CHAY’S WORLD
he is at uni and having the time of his life, ignorant of the fact that it is now paid for by the mafia
he makes friends with macau because thats what should have happened to begin with
cue kim appearing from the shadows to investigate the brother of the guy taking over the minor family. feels sus to him. and FRIENDS WITH MACAU???? mega sus.
except chay is pure sunshine and is so earnest that kim falls headfirst into love send help.
i mean it he’s really in the TRENCHES
anyways thats all i have so far. obviously kinn and porsche kiss kiss fall in love and realize that they are better TOGETHER and also the usurp korn and his schemes with tankhun’s help and they live happily ever after

The Dork Legacy 1.1 part 1
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"HELP MY STUPID BOYFRIEND IS GETTING BETWEEN ME AND MY VIDEO GAMES!"
I feel the same way, sometimes, sweetie. You'll just have to get used to it.
Tumblr media
Or, you know...kick him off the computer so you can play SSX3.
Tumblr media
I took this screenshot like two hours ago and all ready I've forgotten what I was going to caption it. Probably something about him watching Tara play video games and getting sexually aroused by it. Or something.
Tumblr media
Anyway, since he wasn't getting any lovin' from Tara or the computer, he decided to find it elsewhere. Look at him, struttin' to the taxi.
Tumblr media
Damon left football practise in a hurry, eager to hang out with his goth friends. He knew they would never accept him if they knew he was a jock, which hurt him deep down. The carpool drove off, and Damon dropped his shoulderpads and began drawing on his tattoos with a sharpie. Tonight was the night, nothing could go wrong...
...but as he walked into the club, Damon couldn't help but feel as though he'd forgotten something...
Tumblr media
Back to the story: Dreaming of how kissable she will be when he's through with her, Caedmon gives Meadow Akagi a makeover.
Tumblr media
Cute! Since Caedmon's turn-ons are brown hair and glasses, he should be all over her, now.
Tumblr media
"Oh, gee...should I really be flirting with other girls? Won't that hurt Tara's feelings?"
*FACEPALM*
Tumblr media
This is Angel Go. She and Caed also have two bolts. And as much as I respect the estrogen-hawk, it's gotta go.
Tumblr media
Much better.
Tumblr media
"Wanna go on a date?"
"Sure!"
Tumblr media
"I totally beat Through The Fire And Flame on Expert! I was like: meedly meedly meedly meedly WEEEEER!"
Tumblr media
I'd screw someone who could play DragonForce on expert, too.
Tumblr media
I think his hair looks cute!
Tumblr media
Uh...what?
Tumblr media
Ah, I guess that was the pre-swoon crunchup.
Tumblr media
He REALLY doesn't want to get married.
Tumblr media
You mean it wasn't love at first air guitar?
Tumblr media
Anyway, I totally remembered that I had 11k to spend, so here's their nice new house. Complete with a sandbox!

niragi what dating him is like plss💗
of course, anon! hope you like them :) i didn't include pre-borderland niragi, hope you don't mind!
warnings: none
dating niragi headcanons
Tumblr media
niragi is a pain in the ass in general, but even more so when he's pining after you.
you first caught his eye at the beach. you were newer and weren't aware of the power the militants had. because of this, you basically mouthed off to one of them and from there, it's history.
once he has his attention on you, he will not leave you alone. he was very annoying at first, following you around like a lost puppy and all.
eventually you got used to it, but it was going to take more than that to fully pull you in.
he shows off. a lot.
niragi feels very superior to most of the people at the beach, and he isn't afraid to show it. especially when he's trying to impress you.
he'll give off a cool, tough guy impression when he's in public with you. when you're alone, he'll try to brag. does it impress you? not really. do you find it endearing? yeah.
he wants you to think of him as somebody strong and dependable, and in his mind, he succeeded. after all, you got together at some point.
similar to chishiya, the concept of feelings is kind of new to niragi. he was more of a loner in high school, and after he got his new makeover, most of his romantic experiences weren't committed.
unlike chishiya though, he is fully willing to accept them because this is the first time he's ever felt so strongly about someone.
asks you out confidently, and acts very cocky when you say yes.
don't expect super romantic dates. as i mentioned, he's not used to commitment, so he's probably not much of a romantic either.
even so, if you say you want something romantic, he'll try his hardest to please you. he just wants to keep you happy, even if it's by exploring new territory.
niragi is possessive as hell.
in his eyes, you are his and he is yours. he refuses to let anybody get in the way of that.
get's very jealous when he sees you around other guys. after you say goodbye to whoever you're talking to, he gives them a little talk. and he's not afraid to bring his gun into the conversation if need be.
fundamentally, this possessiveness comes from a deep fear of losing you. if you reassure him a lot, he tones it down.
this fear goes into overdrive when your visa is about to expire. he tries to accompany you on any game that he can, just to make sure you come out without a scratch.
he's super wary of your friends.
it might be because of his strong sense of jealousy in a relationship, but he keeps an eye on your friends. his number one fear is them trying to convince you that he's not good enough for you or something along those lines.
oh boy... this man is extremely affectionate and is not afraid to show it.
he adores you and loves to show you off. whether that's by having a full-blown makeout session in front of the members of the beach or wrapping his arms tightly around your hips in front of the militants, he doesn't care.
speaking of makeout sessions... expect a lot of those. his favorite form of affection is kissing and he never gets tired of it, so for your sake, i hope you don't either.
calls smaller forms of affection like hand-holding 'pansy shit' and is set in his views that spicier ways of affection are better ways to show love.
though, if you're shy or not into that, he will adjust for you. although niragi can be selfish, he does realize that a relationship is a two-way street.
don't let his rough exterior fool you. he's got a really big soft spot for you on the inside.
he loves cuddling you, especially being the bigger spoon. holding you in his arms makes him feel like he's keeping you safe, which is ultimately his number one goal.
he will always make time for you, no matter the situation. he may be a militant, but they don't matter as much as you do. if you need him, he will be there for you without a doubt.
he will defend you tooth and nail. if he hears someone talking bad about you, they won't leave his sight with all their teeth intact.
one of his favorite parts of this is you coddling him after the fight. making sure his injuries aren't bad, holding his face in your hands, rubbing your thumbs across his cheeks... yeah. he loves that a lot.
pet names are extremely common with him. and lots of teasing too.
of course, he likes the classic nickname of babe. sometimes he'll switch it up and call you sweetheart or sunshine.
he really enjoys playfully teasing you, and with this comes play fighting. it only really happens in private though, but it's the highlight of his day.
overall...
niragi can be a difficult guy to deal with, but if he loves you, you couldn't have a better ally.
he is loyal to you through thick and thin and will make sure you're aware of it.
he's your number one supporter and will always brag about how amazing you are to literally anybody with ears<3

Alice in Borderland Valentine's Day special hc's
Tumblr media
Niragi:
(I don't think I have to say that this one contains nsfw content)
Pre-Borderland
okay where do I even start with this guy
before he met you he did not do relationships
he did not do anyone in fact
he spent most of his time running away from/avoiding people
used to being ignored at best and bullied at worst, he didn't even think about trying to ask anyone out, much less someone like you
way out of his league in every possible way
so you took things in your own hands and made the first move
and the second..and the third
much like Chishiya getting Niragi to open up to you was a challenge
he wasn't used to kindness and love? That was a completely foreign concept for him
so when you finally managed to break through his walls and make him trust you enough to let you call him your boyfriend, you were taken by surprise at how..passionate he was
whether it was love or hate, he gave it his 100%
and luckily for you, all he felt around you was love
on a good night you got 101%
valentine's day was not a special day for either of you
Niragi knew that the best gift he could give you was him
why waste the night going to a restaurant or a theater when you both had better things to look at and taste?
why waste the energy on empty promises when you can put your mouths to better use?
you'll need that energy the next day anyway, walking and sitting might get quite difficult
While in the Borderland
Niragi was one of the people who experienced the most intense makeover after arriving at the Beach
a new look, a new gun and newfound power
it was safe to say he was a completely different person
you didn't know him but goddamn, did you want him
his new image was driving you insane
he became confident and dominant, you didn't even get a chance to take the initiative anymore
needless to say your sex life changed completely too
between the new look, all the adrenaline and stress that came with living in the Borderland and the fear of either of you dying the next day, your experience became so much more intense
if you thought he was giving you his 100% before, now you were in the thousands
if there was even an appropriate scale
even with all the people around him who you knew wanted him as badly as you did, you felt safe
his eyes were always on you
he wasn't the only one allowed to change his looks, right?
becoming the hottest couple at the Beach wasn't your intention, it just sorta happened
one thing didn't change though, you still didn't think much of valentine's day
neither of you was planning to attend Hatter's stupid party, not even for the alcohol
you had much more interesting plans for the night anyway
and the next morning
afterall valentine's day can be every day, right?

Could you please write the brothers with a genderfluid MC? You’re writing is so amazing! 😍😍
At what temperature does gender fluid become a solid? It varies, welcome to my bad jokes and fluffy headcanons
I use they/them pronouns for this MC throughout the headcanons for ease of reading, but naturally some genderfluid people use multiple sets of pronouns which may or may not include they/them. Know that the brothers would absolutely use whatever pronouns you tell them to!
Also uhhhhhhhhhh… this ended up including some of my HCs about the “brothers’” genders as well. Quick rundown of that, I see Luci, Mammon and Beel as trans guys, Levi as genderfluid but an egg (ie. closeted/still figuring himself out), Satan as demigender/Spite, Asmo as genderfluid/nonbinary, and Belphie as agender/*snoring cow noises*
No I don’t always use these headcanons when writing requests, and in this all the characters are still referred to with he/him pronouns, but if people do want to see more of my Obey Me gender HCs, feel free to ask!
Also thank you for the compliment uwu I definitely did not turn beet red and spin in my chair for several minutes after reading it
The Brothers With a Genderfluid MC feat. some Trans/NB Brothers HCs
Lucifer
When MC first showed up to the Devildom, their presentation didn’t match the gender Lucifer had on file
He didn’t think anything of it, just quietly made a note to correct the information later
But then a couple of weeks later MC starts presenting differently and he’s like, “??? Oh wait I get it”
Decides that the easiest thing to do is just approach MC directly and ask them what they’d like him to write on their file
If they ever got a hold of it, they would see a couple scribbles on it lol
Lots of things give Lucifer headaches
MC’s gender is never one of them
He takes any fluctuations in stride: change of name? Sure. Multiple names? No problem. Feeling more masc/fem but don’t want to go through the effort of necessarily presenting that way? Just let him know how to refer to you and he’ll follow your lead
It’s a complete non-issue for him basically, totally normal
Though because for him gender is a Private Matter, he won’t make a big deal of it unless he senses that they’re nervous about it and his reaction
In that case, he will assure them that he’s not acting the way he is to be cold, he just doesn’t want to make them feel othered or like a spectacle
Will Not talk about his own past though, unless you’re really really Really Super Mega Close
Perhaps post-pact he might be more forthcoming...
Mammon
Wait, so MC has to buy multiple wardrobes?? Isn’t that expensive?
Not necessarily how it works bud, but go off
His most common nickname for MC is “human”, so no need to worry about any accidental misgendering there
Should any gendered terms/pronouns come up though, Mammon might stumble a bit at first, before he knows MC’s rhythm and preferences
Not in a “ugh it’s too hard to keep track” way but in a “oh shit I don’t wanna get this wrong” way, you know?
This resulted in a lot of “MC’s so stubborn, h— sh— they— OY HUMAN! WHICH PRONOUNS IS IT TODAY?”
While in the Devildom changing names and pronouns aren’t really a big deal, if MC doesn’t like extra attention being drawn to themself this way, they’ll quickly figure out a system to let Mammon know how to refer to them
It makes his whole tsundere act infinitely funnier tbh
Hard to play the “I don’t care about you” card when you meticulously respect someone’s identity and always ensure they feel comfortable
Nooooo, he totally didn’t get MC that outfit they were wishing for because it’s easy to make more masc or fem!! That’s ridiculous!! NO DON’T LOOK AT HIS CREDIT CARD RECEIPT—!
Leviathan
*Leviathan has added Gender Envy to his list of envies*
Someone please crack this egg, he’s got a job in there it’s been so long
I hc that Levi is genderfluid, but because Insecurity and deeply internalized transphobia some Certain Corners of human world fandom, he’s never tried just casually presenting differently
When it’s a costume/cosplay people are generally receptive, but would they accept it if it was just him?
But seeing a genderfluid MC? Either just casually doing their thing, or quietly confiding in him about their identity? It gives him hope
His Henry understands!
If MC is still experimenting with presentation or names/pronouns, Levi is super supportive, even if his proposals are very… particular
And through helping them, he gets a bit more comfortable with himself as well
He’s still a bit nervous to officially come out, that lingering fear and doubt is hard to kick, but it’s nice to know he has someone who will stick by him no matter what
He’ll do little things with MC, if anyone asks he’ll say it’s in solidarity with them, but his brothers start to pick up that something Else is going on
Do Levi and MC get matching TSL pride pins at some point? :3c
It’s at this point that Asmo, known Gender Trapeze Artist, loses his shit and Demands that the others let him help Levi with his Gender Makeover, but they all furtively tell him to zip it. Levi will tell them when he’s ready, and IF he wants help with anything
Satan
Satan has more Spite than gender, but is very intrigued by the concept of gender fluidity
Asks a Ton of questions, not out of ignorance but curiosity over the particulars of MC’s specific experience
He’s internally comparing it to his own, as well as others he knows — it’s interesting to see the differences in how humans and demons understand gender!
If MC’s not down to talk about it or gets annoyed by the questions, he’ll of course back off and apologize
He knows there’s a lot of issues in the human world with people asking invasive questions and feeling entitled to trans people’s entire life stories
However if MC accepts and even reciprocates his curiosity?
*Accidentally acquires a degree in Devildom Gender Studies*
Is always ready to help MC stand up for themself and assert their identity
No one misgenders them on his watch
No One
Asmodeus
TWINS!!!!! :D
Asmo is very excited to find out the human exchange is just like him!!!
Okay, they might not necessarily be exactly like him in terms of presentation: maybe MC prefers a more consistently masc/fem style, or is more lowkey in general, or— oh no, they’re not too insecure to even try to present how they’d like to, right?!
If MC does find something about their presentation lacking or unsatisfactory, Asmo is 3000% willing and ready to help
But more importantly, if it’s MC’s confidence he cares about most
He’ll help an insecure MC find their inner strength and confidence, and be the Best Hype-Person for an MC who’s already confident
Asmo’s brand of genderfluidity is usually pretty loosey-goosey, his general sense of fashion leaning more towards the fem side but internal identity swinging about wildly, but should he and MC ever “synch up” at any point, he Will make a joke about it and how it must mean they’re meant to be! ;p
Also knows the best tips for coping with fluctuating dysphoria because although he publicly hides it, sometimes it does get him down
It tends to blend into his pre existing issues with public image and his body and even with shapeshifting sometimes things just Don’t Feel Right
So if MC’s ever having a rough time, they know who to turn to
Beelzebub
Like Lucifer, he’s very chill about it
It’s the content of MC’s character that matters, not their gender
And he thinks they’re a great person, so any way they want to be referred to, he will respect it without question
If MC is the type to change their presentation to suit their feelings, he’s lowkey in awe that they pull it off so well
Even before he transitioned, Beel was never very good with fashion beyond finding what makes him most comfortable and what’s most practical
But he respects the skill, and sometimes wonders if it would have made some of his pre-transition time easier to cope with
However unlike Lucifer, he’s fine confiding in MC about his experiences if he thinks it will make them feel better
Lots of Support Hugs
Sometimes it feels like he’s trying to hug the dysphoria out of them
Also re: the Lilith thing, if MC ever feels Extra awkward being compared to Lilith because she was a girl and MC Isn’t, Beel will take extra care to remind them that he and the rest of the House of Lamentation love MC for who they are, not because of their connection to Lilith
Belphegor
Ughhhhhh that sounds like so much effort
Uhhh, explain yourself cowboy, and talk fast
Belphie’s not really a boy, but whatever.
See? That’s so fast, “ehh I don’t really Do the gender thing, k byeeee” Done
Or at least it would be if people weren’t so stupid and kept pestering him about it
But MC… if their gender changes over time and people ask about it, that must take so much explaining
Doesn’t it get annoying?
Ohhhh… He’s trying to empathize!
Belphie has a weird way of showing support, but he means well
Like Satan, he doesn’t take any shit vis a vis misgendering, but instead of righteous fury, it’s more of an exasperation
“Just use the right pronouns! It’s not that hard! Mammon can do it, for fuck’s sake, are you saying you’re so dumb you can’t keep track of what even he can?!”
If MC’s having a mini Gender Crisis because sometimes gender is just weird, Belphie will absolutely say something stupid like “Nah, your gender is just taking a nap. You should too. C’mere *grabby hands*”
He’s insufferable, but also a stalwart supporter of MC

Note: got my hair done, had to self project lmao and then it got really long and sappy
Tumblr media
[text logs of Y/N and Sunarin]:
You: so it’s almost the new semester
Suna: oh is it really?
You: 🙄💀 shut up
You: you know what I mean
Suna: is it time?
You: it’s time
Tumblr media
“It’s time,” you’d said. Time for your pre-semester makeover. For reasons Suna has never pretended to understand, you insist on being the hottest person in the lecture hall, semester after semester - at least for the first week before you default to barely brushed hair and wearing his clothes every day.
It’s always something different, depending on your mood and budget. One year it was just your nails. Most years, it’s a haircut of some sort. One year, it was a few new outfits that made him forget how to breathe.
It’s time - and you refused to tell Rin what your makeover would be this semester. Until…
He hears his door open. It’s you, with his spare key, shouting, “Rin!” as soon as you shut and lock the door behind you. “Come look!”
He doesn’t need to be told twice.
With all the athleticism of a two year old, he sprints through the house on socked feet, slipping on his tiled floor and almost busting his head open in his rush to see his pretty girl. He’s been fantasizing about previous versions of you all day; poor guy is about to die because every version of you is the prettiest woman he’s ever seen. Every time.
There you are now, hair cut short, highlighted in bold colors. He remembers days gone by when you didn’t have confidence for any of this, hiding behind curtains of undyed, barely styled hair, but now you beam at him like you own the world. And you do. His world.
The sight of you stops him in his tracks. “Fuck,” he whispers. “Fuck me. Baby, I’m going to have to learn boxing or something.” He scans all around your face, moving his head around to observe the way the color changes under the light.
Tipping your head, you tease, “Why’s that? Volleyball not enough of a workout for you?”
“Every year, you get prettier, and I have to fight off more suitors. Damn, you’re gorgeous.” He finally comes close enough to touch you, to drag his fingers through your hair. He kisses the top of your head, then your forehead, then…
You whisper, “You tease,” when he lingers millimeters from your lips. Hooking two fingers into his belt loops, you tug him forward. he stumbles a bit, straightens up away from your face, though the rest of him is closer than before. “Thank you.”
“…For?” He raises his eyebrows.
With a shrug, you respond. “For being you. For convincing me I’m pretty enough for… all this. And for loving my personality too. You know… You remember how I was when we started dating, and I only grew this much because you convinced me it was okay. Convinced me that I had to before you left me behind.”
“I would never leave you behind.” Rin sounds scandalized but the very thought.
“I know that now. But once I started looking for ways to be better for you, I found ways to be better for me too.”
There are no words to his response. Just soft, emotion-filled eyes and his hands creeping into the back pocket of your jeans. “Thank you. For looking this hot and still coming back to me every time.”
It’s not romantic, objectively speaking. But there’s a lot he’s said there without saying it. It’s in his tone, his stance, his eyes. It’s in every fiber of his being that doesn’t need words.
It’s, I love you. I’m proud of you. You can do whatever you want with me because I trust that it will only be good. I never want to lose you.
It’s a language the two of you are still developing, your own unreliable way of saying things without really saying them.
“Shut up, loser. Now get your hands out of my pockets and make me some dinner.”
“Is that any way to speak to your loving boyfriend?”
“It is when I’ve spent the last three hours in the salon. Come on, gimmie food.”
“So demanding.”
“Rin.”
“Yes, darling. Right away, darling.”
“…We can go for ice cream after this.”
“I have ice cream in the freezer.”
“Rin.”
“Yes ma’am, we’re going for ice cream after this. It’s a date. Me and the most beautiful woman in the universe.”

Hi Dear Jalebi, I demand your analysis :)   What are your thoughts on IPKKND might have some typical track if the audience, TRP, actors departure didn't influence it otherwise? Let me explain, IPKKND was supposed to have a longer office track (that wasn't common though, I would've loved it) but the TRP was low, so Shantivan track was introduced. Then, I read that, Sana Maqbul (Lavanya) wanted to quit IPKKND, that's why the quick breakup???
Is that why they didn't give us the COMMON AF *jealousy and hero's ex GF turns villain* track? Then again, Anjali was jealous and sad about Khushi after the first reveal of Shyam, and it looked like track about Didi Ki Saut was beginning. But again ratings dropped and the fandom didn't react well (kinda protested), Anjali quickly stopped showing jealousy and Dadi was introduced to give ArShi a common saas-bahu vibe.
Hello Dear Analysis Anon!
I am going to over answer this with a lot of detail because I have a lot of thoughts, as always! Time to get into my thinking cape/coat:
Tumblr media
This analysis is going to cover:
(1) every example you just mentioned,
(2) my thoughts on external things affecting plot of the story,
(3) things/plots/ tracks that could've been if not for external factors
Examples
1) IPKKND was supposed to have a longer office track (that wasn't common though, I would've loved it) but the TRP was low, so Shantivan track was introduced
As far as I can remember from one of the writers' interviews, the office track was cut short because this was a show on Star Plus - which, as a channel, caters to 'family audience' therefore needs to have sanskaar and stuff at its core. Hence the rude shortening of the office track and weird 'makeover' and 'desi-dying' Lavanya. And hence we had a very weird four months of an eighteen-twenty years old Khushi teaching someone about sanskaars and suddenly knowing everything about a household when Bua-ji or even Payal would've been a more apt choice for this 'tutoring'.
If this was a Star One show, they might've not shifted out of the office for the longest time!
2) Sana Maqbul (Lavanya) wanted to quit IPKKND, that's why the quick breakup??? Is that why they didn't give us the COMMON AF *jealousy and hero's ex GF turns villain* track?
I did not know that's why the quick end happened. Honestly that happened perfectly. I think Lavanya had an inkling about their relationship heading south right when Arnav told everyone he's getting engaged to her. But she chooses to not see it until one day she couldn't. Maybe we could've gotten more from La but if you see carefully, La clearly knows that this relationship is now just for face. Bless her heart for trying though, trying with a smile!
Also, again I think the writers never thought of making Lavanya a vamp. They had enough material with Arnav-Khushi's own differences, Shyam and Buaji playing enough roles to mess up Arnav-Khushi's love story. I probably think they always had planned Lavanya as a beautiful person who was unintentionally caught in all of this. I feel they planned La and Khushi's friendship - they clearly enjoyed writing two completely different people becoming closest of friends.
The writers/creators deserve full credit for this.
3) Then again, Anjali was jealous and sad about Khushi after the first reveal of Shyam, and it looked like track about Didi Ki Saut was beginning. But again ratings dropped and the fandom didn't react well (kinda protested), Anjali quickly stopped showing jealousy and Dadi was introduced to give ArShi a common saas-bahu vibe.
This is all true.
My Thoughts on External Things Affecting Plot
It's not necessarily bad that external things affect plot. Feedback, from channel or fans, can help the show to pivot and understand what is working and what's not. The problem is when feedback is implemented regardless whether or not it matches the theme of the plot.
I loved:
1) The channel moving out of the office because the power dynamic was too great and the contract terms were very unhealthy and Arnav Singh Raizada deserved to get sued at least 10 times by the end of this contract so yes, the shorter the office track the better. Literally the saving grace is they didn't "fall in love" there.
2) The fans protesting against Didi Ki Saut track. Not because I hated the track - I think it was executed in the worst manner! From identical visual languages to show Arnav-Anjali and Arnav-Khushi scenes (which didn't work to show Arnav being equally torn between the two most important women in his life, but just made the audience get creeped by Arnav-Anjali's relationship) and writing scenes of Anjali getting offended by Arnav-Khushi's intimacy/Arnav spending time with his wife, on her birthday, in his bedroom... did she expect Khushi would just *disappear* in a her and Arnav's bedroom? Like that was the worst way to show a compelling plot line and giving people some weird thoughts about Anjali-Arnav (which I hate because I LOVE Anjali-Arnav).
3) Barun walking out when the plot was literally done. Yes, thank you!
4) Barun going to do a movie led to the kidnapping track, which I liked a lot. No, not the nonsense of Manorama Bond fishing out Delhi's security camera footages in vintage recording system - but the fact that given the chasm and angst between Arnav & Khushi, only something bigger than their misunderstanding could force Arnav to give weight to his feelings and for Khushi to be able to forgive him. And his life was at stake. It was a sharp reminder to both of them that they lost so much by not communicating that it doesn't matter what they had to say - they loved each other, they just needed to get back and fight off everything together.
And then again, there are things I HATED that happened because of external factors:
1) The channel for the whole La becomes Desi. And the overdose of sanskaar and tradition that followed for a few months *uggggh* Clearly the channel demanded this from the plot because family, traditions and all are important to Star Plus (wtf are they thinking for Ghum Hai Kisi Ke? though or YRKKH?) And even the Aarav track and Mrs. India - two tracks with terrible execution - were very Star Plus recommended content. Just now Saath Nibhana Saathiya 2 had a Mrs. Surat/Gujarat track and Yeh Hai Chaahatein had a miracle child popping up...
2) The fans demanding Arnav & Khushi's proximity. The whole hut scene was *noooooo*. Lack of consent, body doubles, GLARING logical loopholes and them just trying to do it when one of them is really not in the mood and they were both so out of character. @phati-sari explains this really well in her post (just search for the hut to get all relevant posts on her blog)
3) Barun? Not exactly - he's never in control of the plot so really it's the writers that kinda know what to do with his presence and absence. Even if they get a short time, it's upto the creators who know if they use the last 2-3 weeks for stretching a random track as much as they can and give a rushed ending or quickly wrap up a crap track and give a satisfactory ending. A good example of this is Lavanya's exit - although rushed was dealt with grace, important conversations and memorable hugs. Bad one is the end of the show - I know Barun gave his papers but I wish they went the La way with the end of the show - important convos, teary hugs and a sweet moment (they tried their best tho...)
It's an ITV trend though to not plan for the end of a show... they stretch a crappy track as much as they can and have like a 2 min epilogue. Kasautii 2.0 was the funniest cause they had all misconceptions cleared, Komolika and Mr. Bajaj die and then have a weird 2 min pillow fight to show 'happy family'... guess in that way I'm glad we had whatever we did with IPKKND!
Possible Tracks Then
So if external factors didn't influence the show, we might have had the following:
1) A longer office track. It would end the way it did in canon though. I think it was prewritten that at one point Khushi would tear up the contract and hold him accountable for everything Arnav did. Just instead of 3-4 days it would've been 10-15 days after the contract.
2) Didi Ki Saut track. Honestly that was compelling if executed right. Sometimes you can have an antagonist without becoming a villain, Anjali the perfect character for that.
3) A separation track. I'm pretty sure Arnav-Khushi could have separated at some point in their six months marriage - this is just my inkling and not something I heard in an interview unlike the above two. If given full reign to writing, we probably would've gotten an angst heavy stuff at some point post marriage/6 months.
4) A remarriage track sans Dadi. We know why Dadi was introduced (honestly I didn't mind her, it was a track done well and kinda to redeem Arnav in front of the public eyes. It's a perfect track cause Arnav is 'nice' for standing up for her and kinda heals the wounds he caused in the first few months of the marriage by retorting someone who tells Khushi everything he told her...) But anyway I do think a remarriage was in the works, not because of TRPs but the way their whole 'marriage' was framed and how Khushi was broken because of the lack of everything in it. And they deserved one w/o the devastation that night brought.
5) The 'marriage' would've been a live in. Arnav and Khushi's elopement was supposed to be darker in nature*. Their 'marriage' would've had no religious nor legal validity, therefore a stark contradiction to everything Khushi stood for... but you can't have that in ITV. *By dark I don't mean sexual violence - never.*
6) The whole IPKKND was meant to be darker. I am glad for the romantic comedy though! I think their balance of angst and comedy pre marriage was perfect! Not sure post marriage because it felt like a loop of going back to square one with no progress. But I think things were meant to be less subtle, more tragic and dramatized. So I think we could've gotten extremely angsty periods post marriage with a slow, gentle lull to the romance/comedy. While I am extremely glad for the lightheartedness, I wish I could've read what the whole original concept for Arnav/Khushi was!
7) Arnav revealing the truth to Khushi would've been different. We know the distasteful suicide track quickly came as a way to push Arnav's buttons and have him confess the truth of his elopement to Khushi. And that came from Barun going away - hence the quick kidnapping track and everything. So if Barun didn't go away, I honestly don't know how the revelation would happen. Would Arnav start piecing things together from information and things about Shyam in Laxminagar? Would Arnav end up helping and hospitalizing Shashi who would tell him the truth? Would Arnav come across any hidden wedding card Buaji could've had printed for Shyam-Khushi or even Shyam's fake kundili? Given the Gupta house wasn't the place where Shyam covered his tracks... was this where Arnav would start seeing things? Or guilt ridden, would Garima/Khushi/Madhumati tell Arnav the truth? Something was meant to happen for this revelation, whether it's Arnav believing Khushi or just getting further evidence against her - I... don't know! I wish I knew what the writers had in store.
We highly appreciate for not showing a typical Nanand against Bhaabi trope, also for not making La villain, but would it result differently if things didn't have a hand? Imma cry thinking Anjali jealous and La villain! meh!  What a feast for the eyes it was to see ONLY ONE VILLAIN and less negativity in a tellywood show. Baas bohut hua my casual verbiage. By demand I mean no pressure, please take your valuable time and reply whenever you feel like it.Take Loads of Care and Chocolates your way <3
I hope the above answered all your queries :) Thank you for all the chocolates and care!!!
Phew this was rather long! A big hug to anyone who went through it! See ya later!

I made some La Squadra headcanons... hope you enjoy :^)
Risotto Nero
Age: 28
Ethnicity: Sicilian/Egyptian (born in Sicily)
Sexuality: Gay (more closeted/probably doesn't realise)
General headcanons:
- He has Autism, fidgets with smaller objects he keeps in his pockets like pens or keys to help calm him down. When fidgeting with a pen on his desk he can take it apart and put it back together again.
- Social interaction? How do you do that? (Is mostly more talkative around the people he's close to, aka his team. Though usually performs better when it's only atleast 3 or less of them in the same room with him).
- Him and Formaggio are the closest in the group. BFF's! They'd go out and try and find some cats in the alley ways. Ghiaccio is his second closest next to Melone
- He likes animals, alot. Will protect or rescue one if he sees them around or on a mission
- The father figure for La Squadra, and if he sees one of his members in distress he'll do anything he can to help calm them down/soothe them.
- Doesn't get drunk. Period. I think we know why.
- Enjoys the sun, is able to stand in it longer than Illuso or Ghiaccio due to him more able to tan than get sunburnt.
- When he isn't showing off his torso, he prefers warm snuggly jumpers or hoodies. Makes him feel safe and has the same affect as receiving a hug for him.
- Has a few plushies, small bean filled cats and probably a moderately huggable sized bear. Holds it at night while he sleeps
- He'd eat spicy stuff without a blink of an eye. His mama used to make him alot of Mediterranean/Eastern foods like Indian and Egyptian. So he has a hefty tolerance to spice
- Will bite into a lemon. With 0 hesitation. And just eat it as if it were a regular not acidy fruit.
- Doesn't cry much, but when he does he's an ugly crier. Snot and tears running down that man's face, probably clenches his fist or punches something to. Depends on the situation of course.
- Enjoys the bitter taste of Dark chocolate, will eat a whole block of the kitchen made stuff with ease.
- Can lift everyone but Pesci and Illuso as if they were as light as a feather. Pesci and Illuso are a tad more heavier.
- His linguistic skills outside of Sicilian and mainland Italian suck. He's got horrendous English compared to the rest of the group. Relies on Ghiaccio to translate whatever they are saying.
Ghiaccio
Age: 20
Ethnicity: Venezian
Sexuality: Gay/Ace
General headcanons:
- Has ADHD. No doubt.
- Sees Risotto as a father figure, looks up to him for guidance and listens to him the most.
- Got his curly blue hair from his stand awakening! It was a slow process. Risotto checks on it every so often because the more blue and curly it gets, the more powerful his stand becomes.
- Other than Risotto, the closest member in his squad is Melone! They get along the best in the group. They have similar intellect and both like to learn about eachothers passions! (Without it getting sexual of course)
- His insults? No rapper could ever compare to the zany things this gremlin comes up with! He'll slaughter you with his words and his stand!
- Can speak multiple languages! The best at English other than Melone, Formaggio and Pesci in the group! Hates it when people pronounce things wrong (wow, that was obvious) and also hates slang. It gets on his gears when Formaggio uses it.
- Loves cats! They calm him down! He doesn't want to hurt the little critters! Unfortunetly too shy to go out and actively find them, but will promptly beat the ever loving fuck out of you if you hurt a cat in his vision.
- Doesn't let anyone but Melone, Pesci and Risotto touch his curls. You will be frozen if you aren't them.
- Enjoys crunching on Ice cubes, the sound is satisfying and he finds the taste nice.
- Hates asparagus and avoids it like the plague, same with Coriander. It tastes like soap! Ew!
- Has warm showers to balance out his stand that makes him colder than the average person. Won't turn it up too high otherwise he burns.
- Burns easy in the sun, wears alot of sunscreen.
- The lightest member of La Squadra after Melone! Will scream if you pick him up.
- He has muscular thighs and has a light 4 pack! Skating does alot for you!
Melone
Age: 26
Ethnicity: Naples
Sexuality: Pansexual
General headcanons:
- Has sleep paralysis.
- Got a degree in human genetics & Biology!
- Is a maternal figure to his Juniors and would definetly be capable of caring for a baby.
- Will drape himself over Risotto, the man doesn't care how. As long as he isn't doing any weird shit. And Melone will gladly go with those terms.
- Calls Risotto "Rizzy babe/baby" and it drives Ghiaccio and Prosciutto into the wall. Be professional damnit Mel!
- Him and Prosciutto are fairly close, they get along well with only a few minor differences in views. He and Illuso have a stronger bond however.
- Isn't as sexually driven as he seems. Tells Ghiaccio alot of 'apparently' devious things he's done but in all honesty? He isn't that bad. The only thing that's relatively "disgusting" is him being into legs and feet. Other than that? He just knows too much and puts on a persona to see how creeped out other people get.
- Knows everyone's star signs, blood types, DNA and allergies! Puts all the information down on BabyFace.
- BabyFace is basically his own personal laptop, he can play games and hack into servers when he pleases!
- Created most of La Squadra's furniture... with BabyFace. Risotto, Ghiaccio and Illuso are the only three that know that he created it with BabyFace. Ris and Mel are the only ones who knows what people are what furniture. Melone occasionally says hi to them when the others aren't around.
- Melone also has a weird amount of knowledge on dogs. He'll tell you almost everything about a breeds behaviours and traits, to even what is best to give them from toys to food!
- Likes eating Formaggios bags of chips when he isn't looking. He just finds those fatty crispy potatoes in a bag so utterly irresistible!
Prosciutto
Age: 35
Ethnicity: Milan
Sexuality: Bisexual
General headcanons;
- Trans! F-M
- Him and his mother look very similar to eachother. Even more when he was pre transition!
- Smokes cigars.
- Takes like 20 minutes doing up his hair.
- Buys fine wine, won't take the cheap shit.
- He spends daddy's money. But the team doesn't have to know that.
- Enjoys sitting in the sun with a nice glass of wine with olives, hates it when he's disturbed.
- Has some toxic masculinity, doesn't want to look 'weak' infront of the team, or at all.
- Nutures Pesci, the two are very very close. Not brothers, but close. You will not enjoy the wrath of Prosciutto if Pesci is hurt.
- Does the face rubbing with everyone. Wants to make sure everyone can succeed at their task!
- Him and Illuso are, close? They tease eachother in a friendly way, love finding ways to make the other flustered or embarresed. It's a very fun game to them.
- Is probably the 2nd best at using a gun. No one can top the sniper that is Gelato however. But he is learning from him.
- Do not. Mess with his suits. The minute he finds out someone has wrinkled or spilled his suits you will be turned into an old hag. Most of the team knows this. But there's still the oddballs who don't learn...
- Reacts like a normal person to unusual bizarre situations. Who put this inflatable pool into the base? GET IT OUT! STOP SWIMMING IN IT!
- Doesn't like cats, they get hair all over his clothes and vomits up cat treats on his bed. But Illuso and Melone can tell that he himself acts somewhat similar to a cat. Just exclude the puking.
Pesci
Age: 20
Ethnicity: Sardegna
Sexuality: Straight
General Headcanons;
- Him, Gelato and Sorbet? Good friends. BFF's even.
- Is shy, doesn't do well in social situations. But you can tell alot more easier than you could with Risotto
- Enjoys fishing in the coastal waters. Will occasionally go out with Formaggio and Illuso to fish with them.
- The others have tried to show him new drinks, but he'll always stick to milk. It's what his momma gave him when he was younger, a habit he has yet to break.
- His momma was very over protective, unfortunetly causing him to be very anxious and paranoid about many things. It's a surprise he even managed to join the Mafia.
- Likes dogs! Him and Mel can talk about dogs for hours! Even visit some at shelters. Only wishing they could adopt only to remember they're professions..
- Does pedicures with Sorbet and Gelato every weekend. He makes sure to keep his nails in good condition for them! And they do the same! Sometimes they do makeovers with eachother, he likes looking fabulous on the next mission!
- Likes kids but is terrified to go up to them. But whenever it's him and Risotto, he has a little more confidence. The two wouldn't mind ever giving the homeless children some food or a piggy back ride.
- Is allergic to walnuts. He found that out from a pie Melone made him. Thankfully he came out okay thanks to BabyFace.
- He does indeed hide behind the couch whenever they watch a horror movie. Thankfully Risotto is there with him whenever they do watch them, the man apparently doesn't really enjoy them either. He isn't scared, but he just prefers other genres.
- Is only good at some English due to all the tourists! He felt like he had to learn some so he'd be able to talk to them or help them out with directions.
Illuso
Age: 26
Ethnicity: Spainish
Sexuality: Bisexual
General Headcanons;
- Pillow princess!
- Don't disturb him when he's in the tub, just don't.
- He can sing! He's very loud! But usually sings when no one Is home. Prosciutto and Melone are the only two that have heard his singing voice.
- Teases members of the team constantly, he's just alot meaner with Formaggio.
- Made his outfit! Formaggio and Sorbet absolutely hate it! But he doesn't care about the haters
- He has full control of his pigtails, no one knows how he is able to make them magically float. But that makes it even more fun! They usually start to squirm when he's excited, flustered or scared.
- Is always in his mirrors. Likes the quiet inside, but sometimes he'll get lonely and pop out or ask some of the others to join him inside.
- He's relatively good at cooking, mainly Spanish cuisine. But is learning with Melone how to make baked goods!
- Him and Mel watch TV together, they love making fun of the characters and getting deeply invested into the plot. They binge alot.
- Isn't a snacker, he will only eat snacks if he's watching TV or if he's in the tub. Those are usually grapes.
- He doesn't hate Formaggio. They are quite close! Just thinks some of the things he does and says are absolutely stupid.
- Knows almost everything history wise with his teammates. But still can't find much on Risotto.. one day he will... one day... only knows some of his info from Melones BabyFace. But that's not enough!
- Invades his teammates privacy, he'll pop through the mirrors in they're rooms. No he doesn't care (atleast most of the time)
Formaggio
Age: 27
Ethnicity: Boston
Sexuality: Bicurious
General Headcanons;
- He has a pet name for everyone, most of them don't mind. Gelato and Ghiaccio absolutely hate theirs however.
- Of course as we know in canon, he's the brother of the group. Tries to cheer them up after a particularly glum mission, or if they are just having a bad day.
- Loves cats. Ain't good at taking care of them. Risotto gets annoyed whenever he leaves cats in containers.
- He snacks, alot. Like alot alot. Thankfully he exercises with Sorbet so he maintains his frame.
- Loves pissing off Illuso with the way he eats Spanish food. A disgrace for eating Doritos with Guacamole! But man it's fun to see his face go red! And it tastes good.
- Has the strangest ideas for how to defeat targets. Goes into Risotto's office constantly and babbles on about ideas. Most of the time they are surprisingly accepted. And they work!
- Happily drinks cheap booze, it disgusts Prosciutto. But he doesn't care. Unfortunetly gets drunk after 5 bottles. Doesn't drink infront of Risotto though (atleast not on purpose).
- He loves the beach! Hot babes (and bros?) walking around, it's a paradise for this cheese man! Has to be taken away from the beach by force when they have to go home though.
- Usually wears very loose clothing. He gets too hot easy! Gotta wear something he can breathe in.
- Likes orange chocolate, some of the others judge him for it. But him and Sorbet can snack on that stuff for hours.
- Likes listening to the game on the radio in Ghiaccios car since Illuso and Melone take up the tv too often.
- Is from Boston, so of course he knows English. Sometimes swears in it, but he mainly speaks in Italian now. Knows some Sicilian thanks to Risotto!

Domestic Headcanons for the Obey Me! Demon Bros
bc these thoughts plague me and i need to get them out somehow-
Mammon sings in the shower
He thinks no one can hear him
however, everyone, in fact, is able to hear him
No one says anything though because his voice is actually amazing???
like duh they were all once angels, of course they’re all amazing singers
You definitely hear every one of them singing or humming a little tune every now and then
Beel has a super deep singing voice
that shit rumbles and it’s honestly hard not to be lulled by his voice
he sings belphie to sleep
they low key (but not really) fight over who gets to sit next to you for movie nights
mammon is always quick to use his “I’m her first man” excuse, but that get’s old really quick
Lucifer and Satan are hella condescending about it and absolutely roast him
“Mammon, I didn’t know MC mattered to you so much”
“N-NO! Why would I care about some dumb human?”
“Well, if you don’t care about MC then you wouldn’t mind if they sit by me tonight?”
“HEY WAIT-”
It’s too late, he’s talked himself into a corner
“Why does it have to be one of you? Let MC pick who they sit next to” - Levi, in a huffy tone
“Levi~ are you sure you not saying that because you want MC to yourself? Can’t say that I blame you, they’re just so nice to hold don’t you think?” - Asmo
Chaos ensues
Eventually Beel just calmly walks over to you, hoists you up from wherever you’re sitting and plops you on top of his lap, Belphie snoozing not too far away
He wakes up only to snuggle into your chest and then he’s out like a light
Beel loves to cook with you, but Satan makes a better cooking partner
Sorry Beel
He just ends up eating too much of the food
Satan is surprisingly lax in the kitchen, as long as you don’t get in his way too much
He’s definitely picky about how certain foods are prepared.
If you’re not chopping something to the right size, he’s quick to reach around you and guide your movements
does this subconsciously and doesn’t seem to understand the romantic implications of it
(he totally does, he just has an excellent poker face from thousands of years of practice)
rolls up the sleeves of his sweater to make sure they don’t get in the way of food prep
the sight itself is something to drool over, let alone the lovely aroma coming from the stove
Lucifer works really late into the night and sometimes forgets to sleep at all
I mean we all know this but more often than not he tries to get at least four hours of sleep a night but sometimes he just... forgets
so the mighty Avatar of Pride isn’t perfect after all hA
ok but bring him tea
He usually prefers to make it himself, but if you bring it to him in the middle of the night his heart melts, just a little
tells you to go tf to sleep but is actually really grateful
but as soon as you shut the door he has the s o f t e s t expression
It’s not often that he’s the one on the receiving end of care so it’s nice, even if your tea is a bit on the watery side
self care nights with Asmo
SELF. CARE. NIGHTS. WITH. ASMO.
Has literally every skincare product known to all three realms
but only the best of the best when it comes to the both of you
there’s a plethora of delicious but health conscious snacks to choose from, and some cheesy drama playing in the back ground that neither of you are paying attention to
Asmo loves giving you makeovers to get a rise out of his brothers
but he also loves the way you can’t stop looking at yourself in the mirror when he’s finished
Wants you to love yourself as much as he loves himself you
Levi swims in his fish tank when he’s upset
and just whenever he wants to in general really, but there’s something about being in water that makes him feel calm
...
Wants you to join him but he’s hella nervous about it
When he finally works up the nerve his face is beet red and he nearly runs away before you can answer
>is super confident when he’s in his element
He moves through the water so gracefully it’s hard not to fall into a trance watching him swim
notices you staring and it’s such a boost to his ego omf
definitely makes like he’s about to get out and when you reach out to help him he yanks your dumb ass in with him
your DDD is ruined and Lucifer is mad but in Levi’s mind it was all worth it, even if he got in trouble and is mildly embarrassed about it
Mammon is super receptive to affection when he’s tired
he fell asleep on you once when the both of you were hanging out in your room and woke up to the feeling of you running your hands through his hair
he’s so groggy he can’t find it in himself to muster up the tsundere act
he just nuzzles deeper into your hand
if Belphie finds you napping he is 10/10 times going to join you
You’re not “safe” napping alone anywhere that isn’t your room
he doesn’t want his brother’s disturbing you and he himself doesn’t want to disturb you
so he just cuddles up next to you
at first this was especially shocking, not only to you but to the brothers as well but it soon became such an often occurrence that everyone stopped questioning it
partly because Belphie would never answer any questions, opting to just nonchalantly shuffle away
honestly it happens so often and you’ve grown so used to it that it’s more of a shock when you wake up and he isn’t there
is oddly protective of you
has a sixth sense whenever you’re in danger and will straight up materialize to scare away the threat by looming over them with his intimidating aura
asmo does everyone’s nails
you think lucifer has the time to do his own nails??
or that beel would be able to concentrate long enough to finish his second hand with out wanting a snack??
or that belphie would waste hours he could spend napping waiting for nail polish to dry??
no
asmo takes it upon himself to do their nails for them
the only other person who does it themselves is Levi, who paints his nails while binging long running shonen anime that only requires a part of his attention
they use gel nail polish so it dries quicker and doesn’t chip as easily
you’ve never had a better nail salon experience than at Asmodeous’s at Home Beauty Parlor
He does the hand massage and everything, but only for you
He’s had millennia to practice his craft so if course you’ll be getting the best of the best with asmo
Satan is a closet weeb
now LISTEN- l i s t e n
he probably stumbled across one of levi‘s TSL collection and decided to investigate and was immediately enthralled by the plot and the amazing artwork they held
now he regularly checks out manga from the library and pre pre-orders new upcoming series that catch his eye
his favorited genre is romance, but he also gravitates to magical girl series
make no mistake tho, if you find out somehow, he will have to kill you
please give them affection, none of them are used to it and once you start being casually affectionate with them they’re hooked almost immediately
Obv some are less receptive at first than others - satan, belphie, luci - but that’s okay just give them time
Asmo and Beel are the most comfy with affection and are willing to initiate majority of the time
Asmo always has an arm linked with yours whenever he’s next to you, at the least. He likes to hug you from behind and rest his chin on your shoulder so he can nuzzle into your neck to tickle you
Beel will casually pick you up for hugs, and hold you in his arms to make you safe. he also likes to hold your hand just ‘cause
Levi and Mammon want in on the action once they see beel an asmo being so touchy with you, but are definitely in denial about it for like, a week before they give in and stop being so wussy about it
mammon likes to throw an arm around your shoulders just so others stay away, bc you’re HIS human ofc. also likes it when you play with his hair as previously stated.
Levi is a little more shy about it, but loves it when you link pinkies or choose to sit next to him at the dining table and link ankles with him. He’s also hella smug when you lean on him but is also a blushing mess.
Satan, Luci, and Belphie (for obvious reasons) take the longest to warm up to affection. Satan is the first of the three to warm up to it - he loves reading with you cuddled up beside him. not necessarily on him, but with your sides pressed together as you each read your own book or whatever it is you’re doing while he reads
belphie is next, before lucifer surprisingly. this is kinda when he starts joining you for naps and you’re kinda too scared to question it. also seeks you out to use your thighs as a pillow bc they’re the softest
Luci’s heart kinda melts when he sees you being so close with his brothers. His affection is typically head pats that are more him gently and barely combing his fingers through your hair and tucking it behind your ear
In short i love them all more than words
