Tief Tav romancing Astarion is always extra funny to me because of his back scars and how quickly they piece it together.

Like in any other route you have to wait until the tail end of Act 2 to potentially get a clear answer on what the scars are - no idea what they mean, no idea if his siblings have similar markings or if Cazador has dealings with the hells, etc.

Meanwhile Tief Tav and Astarion bone once and spend the next morning and long rest like "Why do you have 15% of an infernal contract on your back? Oh you think your siblings probably have the rest, that makes sense. Definitely explains why Cazador's trying to bring you back alive. Anyways we should probably handle the Goblin Camp at some point, huh?" 💀

LITERALLY

I would love to hear more thoughts on the AU 🙏

i'm VERY GLAD you asked, okay so:

i've been calling it the 'infernal friends' au based on the idea that, when ik first gets the ritual book, one is marked 'summoning infernal companions', but she doesn't know what infernal means so she just thinks "oh this spell summons friends!!"

so in this au the demons are a bit more.... demonic isn't the best word to use but it's the only one i can think of

basically they adhere a little bit more to common tropes in, like, horror movies and stuff, where they can be summoned by ritual (as ik does), and they also initially do act all monstrous and stuff

they're still themselves while at home, being summoned is like a job to them and they've gotta be Evil while they're on the clock

rather than just sort of existing entirely separate from humans, in this au demons as a whole are more used to the idea of being called upon to do nefarious favours or whatever

(although none of the main cast has been summoned before this on account of their sheer power level)

it's also sort of a nb situation, where their default is their demon forms - they'd actively choose to disguise their horns and wings/tail if they were to go regular form

so it all starts when ik performs the ritual and somehow manages to summon the most powerful (awake) demon in the devildom. this was actually because she pronounced the incantation wrong and ended up changing its meaning entirely

by all accounts it still shouldn't have worked, and she doesn't show any signs of magic otherwise, so everyone's stumped as to how she managed that

when asked, diavolo just says "i was summoned by the heartfelt wish of a very nice child who needed me"

and i know diavolo takes pacts VERY seriously in-game, but it would be very funny (and quite sweet) if he immediately made a pact with ik so that she could summon him to hang out whenever she wanted

failing that, he might just enchant an object in her house to act as a magical link to him

after a few weeks he also gives her that contact list to use if he's ever too busy to come - that contact list being for the seven brothers + barbatos

he doesn't actually tell the brothers about this until afterwards (from their pov, diavolo's just been disappearing in mysterious circumstances a lot recently)

and it's also too late to take it back (plus diavolo won't let them) so uh this is their life i guess

(diavolo's already made barbatos come to meet ik before this, so she's already familiar with him, she just didn't know how to summon him on his own before)

i don't have an idea for everyone, but they do each have a unique ritual

asmo's involved chanting into a mirror, levi's would involve filling the bathtub and then he'd like pop his head out of the water, mammon's would probably use a piggy bank or something

lucifer's would be marked as needing 'music', so ik plays twinkle twinkle on one of those little plastic toy pianos

she picks asmo to summon first because diavolo's mentioned he likes dressing up and that's what she wants to do

for a certain time after that, she disregards the contact list, since she's got three options for friends already and that's the most she's ever had

but asmo convinces her to try some of his brothers too because he's been telling them over and over that this little kid is SO sweet, you'll LOVE her, and none of them believe him

so ik takes a look at the list and picks belphie next because she likes his name

she says it a little wrong at first (she has trouble with the 'lph' sound, so she says it like 'bepphie') but luckily saying 'bephhgor' during the ritual didn't mess it up

and then belphie gets back afterwards like "guys. asmo was right"

and none of them believe him AGAIN

so one by one each brother gets summoned and immediately is like "oh hell yeah i love this kid", while the remaining unsummoned demons are unconvinced right up until they meet her

basically it goes like this:

demon before being summoned: "that's nice and all but it isn't for me. i've got better things to do than babysit some random human"

demon after being summoned: "if my new best friend (child) doesn't ask to play with me again within a week i'll cry"

beel gets summoned last out of everyone because ik didn't know how to say 'beelzebub' and was embarrassed to ask

she had trouble with just about everyone's names except mammon's (often dropping syllables - e.g. "lucsssfer" - or just misreading the word - e.g. "santa")

this is because she grew up speaking chinese at home, and while english became her primary language after starting school, she's mostly non-verbal with anyone who isn't her dad at this point, so she doesn't have a great grasp of unfamiliar phonetics

she's chattiest with diavolo and mammon (the former she met him first, the latter because he's very energetic and she's trying to keep up with him)

and she's quietest with lucifer and belphie (the former because he's got a stern and intimidating demeanour, the latter because he's also quiet and is good at communicating with her without words)

everyone else she's varying levels of loud with

also while lucifer doesn't SEEM to do the 180 after getting summoned, he also let ik take a nap in his lap during that first summoning so he totally still did

this way ik gets a whole catalogue of demons to hang out with while her dad's away!!

zhao's just glad she's getting taken care of

conducting the rituals is the fastest way to summon (and also the demons can't really choose not to), but it's a hassle to do, so everyone else would also either make a pact or enchant an object that calls them

everyone's objects would be:

a rock pet (diavolo), the toy piano (lucifer), a novelty coin (mammon), a rubber duck (levi), one of hyde's cat toys (satan), a plastic tiara (asmo), an broken saucepan (beel), an old blankie (belphie), and the teapot from a play tea set (barbatos)

that's all i got for now but i can guarantee i'll have more soon so stick around!!!

#answering asks #anon asks #infernal friends au #ik still isn't magic in this au btw so it really is a mystery as to how she's able to conduct these rituals #solomon in particular is tearing his hair out over it once he catches wind of it #jtta aus

𝕕𝕒𝕣𝕣𝕚𝕒𝕟 𝕡𝕣𝕚𝕔𝕖

he inhabits a body that looks thirty-one years old but is actually three hundred and forty eight, is an infernal and lives in downtown as a librarian. he looks an awful lot like will poulter.

"Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside of us and sometimes... they win."

darrian gray price is a full infernal, created within the chasm 348 years ago. while many infernals elected to spend good amounts of time on earth, and from an early age. darrin, however, elected to remain in the chasm until only approximately 50 years prior. having been born of two infernal parents his family ties kept him around longer than they should have, especially given what he was. though, darrian has always been just a bit more than different from others of his kind, something that did him no favors and earned him no bonds throughout his life. while he generally possessed the basic qualities one might have stereotypically believed an infernal would display- he was quick witted, sharp tongued, a bit rough around the edges, a little uncouth, and a bit smartassy, the truth was that at heart, darrian was far more of a soft soul than most. he loved others, he cared for others deeply, practically at an empathic level. his natural inclinations were towards caretaking, literature, and poetry. many of his qualities were those his father considered weakness, causing him to abandon darrian fairly early on, after ensuring his point was made- he simply couldn't bear to be near such a disappointing son. his mother remained, if out of duty than nothing else. while tender wasn't ever a word darrian might have used to describe her, he recognized her commitment to him, and the fact that she was far less disappointed than his father, though far more confused.

after avoiding going 'topside' for the majority of his life, darrian made the decision to leave the chasm about 50 years ago. while the choice was a hard one, it was one born from a feeling of being oddly and inexplicably drawn to do so. while darrian himself remains unable to explain precisely why he was called to leave the chasm, the feeling that there is something he is meant to do, find, experience, or learn has remained. taking full advantage of his time on earth, darrian is currently inhabiting his second body. he has attended six different colleges and holds a plethora of degrees. currently, he works in the greywood historical library, utilizing his degree in library sciences as well as his masters in literature. truly darrian loves his job, and it consumes the majority of his life. outside of work he has an apartment downtown, where he lives with his cat, nyx.

“what power did he attain when settling in greywood?”

darrian gained the power to dream walk after settling in greywood. while infernals have the power to influence dreams, turning them to nightmares so that they may feed on the fear created, darrian's power was amplified in a unique way. while in greywood he is able to enter the dreams of anyone he chooses and simply observe. he also has the ability to enter anothers dreams and pull them back into his own.

You know, sine you're marrying her before her proper coronation, that means when Rokshana becomes Queen of Monsters, you'll have claim as King. Would you want that? To have dominion over Monsters?

"I suppose?

I myself am very much a monster so it wouldn't be out of place for me to rule over them. I already rule over dragons, a form of monster. Though I will always prioritize my own kingdom as I'm sure Rokshana would her own when she becomes Queen of Xandora."

Revisiting this photo from last April, cause my Chinese class saga is indeed coming to an end soon, and I am not coping too well with the evolution bit.

#it happens every time and every time I'm like omg what is this mysterious depression?! #yesss let's cut everyone off and spend all day in bed in fetal position that'll solve it #i did buy a return ticket tho #not to bangkok nor manila but a third secret place #first i need to book accommodation and apply for some infernal Electronic Travel Authorisation that's been implemented #maybe then I'll get excited about it #currently I'm just anxious about everything that could go wrong in the meantime

Ο όρος "βραδεία καύση" ταιριάζει αρκετά στην ταινία και η αλήθεια είναι ότι όσο διατηρεί αυτούς τους αργούς ρυθμούς, βασίζεται στην ερμηνεία του Πιρς και δίνει μικρά στοιχεία ανά τακτά χρονικά διαστήματα, καταφέρνει να κρατήσει το ενδιαφέρον σου. Εκεί που χάνει πόντους η ταινία είναι όσο πλησιάζει προς το φινάλε και δείχνει πόσο μεγάλο είναι αυτό που έχει στηθεί γύρω από τον συγγραφέα.
