asking your library to order a book, a guide
let's say you're really excited about a book coming out soon. you want to read it and support the author but maybe you don't have a ton of disposable income because you, for instance, live in a capitalist hellscape that doesn't enforce a living wage.
perhaps, um, just for example, you want to read my upcoming YA novel Stars, Hide Your Fires, wherein a jaded thief and a mysterious revolutionary must team up to solve a mystery in space, feat. ballgowns, intrigue, banter, and a generous dash of queer romance (out july 11th!)
if you can't afford to buy a book, i would ask you to please please consider your local library. here is a tool for finding your closest lending library (u.s. only, unfortunately). this is also a gentle reminder to get a library card if you don't have one yet! libraries provide invaluable services, particularly to underserved groups, and are funded partly based on use, so you'll be supporting your community.
your library may already have ordered a copy, in which case borrowing the book is a matter of placing a hold and then waiting for it to come out. but what if you try and your local library has no plans of obtaining the volume? first of all, good on you for your ~exclusive tastes. second, you can do an author a huge favor, for free and in under five minutes, by requesting that your library order their book.
google the name of your library along with "purchase request" or "suggest a purchase." if one doesn't work, try the other.
towards the top of the results, you'll probably find a form to fill out.
in the case of my local library, what you find is an FAQ page that suggests emailing the library if they're missing something. clicking on that email ink takes you to a form.
note: they'll probably ask for your library card number, so have that handy!
it's very likely they'll ask for the ISBN so they can be sure they'll identify the right book. in the case of Stars, Hide Your Fires, you can find that info on the publisher's website. (Or I can save you the click: hardcover ISBN: 9781683693512, e-Book ISBN: 9781683693529) If you don't happen to know this, you can just google the title and author plus "ISBN" and it should come up.
submit the form and bask in the good vibes that follow.

I saw some post about z library, a pirate e-book website that has been taken down.
Um, just go to your actual library? You pay for them with your tax dollars, they're desperate for your business, they're FREE, they're legal, and they have tons of e-books and audio books just waiting for you!!! No need to pirate!

Got a couple of interesting looking movies, Bernstein conducting Haydn and Doris Day on vinyl, a hardback copy of Margaret Atwood’s The Robber Bride, two annual anthologies of O. Henry Prize short stories 78 years apart (1932 and 2010), plus Wide Sargasso Sea, Sons and Lovers, and like a couple of other things, all for like $7.

a/n: seol can be interpreted as the reader or whole other person. it was supposed to be y/n, not seol but i find it hard to imagine if i pair yunjin and karina to someone i can't imagine, so that's where seol is born.
disclaimer all images and pictures used in this story are not all mine. they belong to their rightful owners and i therefore give credits to their edits. since this is a smau, all of the happenings and events within are made up and the product of my imagination. any similarity to real-life occurrences or individuals, whether alive or deceased, is entirely coincidental. SEPARATE FICTION FROM REALITY.

Awkward stuff the demon brothers would NEVER tell MC (headcanon) part 1
part 2 here [LINK]
Mammon - his failed attempt at creating MammonCoin cryptocurrency
Leviathan - why he keeps his Ruri-chan figurine in a jar, if you keep asking him he'll summon Lotan
Satan - his cat fursona that he posts about on a secret social media account that none of his brothers know about
Asmodeus - his long list of ex-lovers and the fact that he's probably a father after all the succubi he smashed
Beelzebub - there are some restaurants that he got banned from
Belphegor - the last time he washed his sheets (there's a reason he likes to sleep in MC's bed)
Lucifer - his illicit affairs with Diavolo, anyone who finds out gets fed to Cerberus

Obey Me! Nightbringer Lesson 22 Spoilers!
Mammon has been my favorite brother ever since the very first Lesson of OG Obey Me!
I've also been a HUGE fan of Mammon's greedy behavior towards us probably because I like yanderes so much lol
But wow.... The newest Lesson in Obey Me! Nightbringer actually had me feeling.... apprehensive? Unsure?? Scared??? Horny?!?!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aww... Beel 💙 (don't be so sure~ lol)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mammon is aggressively possessive. Dangerously possessive. He's not thinking clearly.
I don't blame him since his sin is obviously taking over and he is unable to control himself. But....
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
If the same thing is gonna happen with the rest of the boys, we better buckle up and hold on tight!
Personally, I feel like I'd be able to handle Mammon, Levi, and Belphie. Possibly even Satan since I can understand his wrath/rage (though I might just be way too overconfident there).
But Lucifer, Asmo, and Beel?
Asmo will be trying to fuck seduce us nonstop. Beel may possibly try to devour us.
And Lucifer's overflowing pride will probably mean that he will view any help that we try to offer him as us, a "lowly human", underestimating and patronizing him... which will severely piss him off.
I'm hoping all of this means that we will start forging pacts with the brothers along the way/as we help each of them.
Because if not... We're screwed considering our magic currently isn't working and Solomon's magic is progressively getting weaker.
At this point, I can't wait for the next lesson. I want to know what happens next, I want to see how we're gonna save Mammon. I want the entire story all at once even though that's not possible.... I'm just impatient xD

The question about either L corp or ruina binah limbus announcers made me think of having 2 binah's at once and now I'm flustered
two Binahs at once. two Binahs to hug and kiss and be protective over you. two Binahs to hold and snuggle up to you. two Binahs to whisper advice in your ear and drape their cloaks over you when you're tired, to watch you fall asleep to ensure that no one disturbs you
two Binahs perfectly willing to fight and kill for you, L Corp being more sadistic and LoR being more efficient, coming back satisfied and covered in blood and peppering kisses on both of your cheeks
