Hi, can I get a matchup? Thank you in advanced and I hope you're doing well despite the current state of the world ❤
(Edit: almost an hour later and I've finally finished writing this. Let's just say this did not turn out the way I expected AT ALL and I'm so sorry in advanced. But at least I got a new story idea)
Introduction (Innocence): At first, I'm extremely shy, timid, and quiet. I have a hard time opening my mouth and starting conversations. It doesn't always bother me since I like keeping to myself because it keeps me motivated and stay focused on my goals. However, if someone approaches me, I try to be as polite, passive, and friendly as possible. The only way to move out of this stage is to constantly interact with me until I feel comfortable.
Chapter 1 (Reality): Now that I'm comfortable, the snark and attitude starts to come through. At first, it will be a few light-hearted teasing that surprise people. Slowly, the jabs grow harsher and my voice grows louder. The dynamic of the conversation changes as I begin to dominate. My voice rises as my hands do all the talking. Sarcasm and eye rolls are regular parts of conversation. A thick cloud of chaos and self-deprecation arises, leading to a storm of endless rangs about my dramatic woes. In the midst of this confusion, you can't help but wonder: what happened to that soft-spoken girl?
Chapter 2 (Chaos): It has become my personal mission to make your life as miserable as possible. My sinister laughter rings through the air, bringing headaches to those around me. Despite all their attempts, no one stop me writing monologues that parody your towards your crush or stealing your phone until you give me your chips. My ego has devoured my self-deprecation; my word is law. My beauty, my hardwork, my intelligence-- me. You absolutely hate it, but you can't leave. The quick-wit, the variety of humor, and the soft crinkle around my eyes when I smile. The smart-assery is almost endearing. You can't help but wonder, what is she doing to do next? It's a game of cat and mouse, but I am always victorious.
Chapter 3 (Darkness): Beneath the madness, lies a small girl fighting against the shackles against her feet. She will not accept any help, she must escape on her own. Doubt constantly lingers in her mind, a consequence of previous endeavors that failed due to pride. She does not care for those who jeer at her as she struggles, holding her head high. There's only one thing in her mind: she will do anything to escape. It will be methodical, calculating, and nothing less than perfection. And when she does, she vows to do everything in her power to take her rightful spot on the throne.
Chapter 4 (Light): And so she escapes and sets on her path to become queen. Along her path, she befriends villagers who aid her quest. Although she becomes the voice of harsh reason, they heed her wisdom. Her companions know that despite her sharp tongue, she is simply looking out for them. Although she dislikes any form of affection, the cracks of her stone heart shine through her actions. It is here that she finds balance. Innocence, reality, chaos, darkness, and light meld into one.
Conclusion: Unfortunately, the journey is not over. However, the journey itself can teach one a lot about themselves. Thus far, the little girl has learned for her love of novels, often with her head in clouds to escape reality. She's also taken a liking to storytelling, finding solace in writing and storytelling to express the emotions she cannot communicate otherwise. She likes to bathe in her vanity by indugling in fashion and makeup, spending hours to create the perfect look. Despite this newfound sense of self, only time will tell whether she can succeed in her quest.
Adding a summary below because as a fellow matchup writer, I can see how this description would drive you insane. I'm so sorry for the story lol
Summary: At first I'm super shy, but I'm actually a sarcastic smartass that has a large ego and annoys everyone. My only redeemable quality is that I'm funny. Deep down, I'm ambitious, stubborn, and paranoid. With friends I'm the unaffectionate voice of reason that shows love through actions. My hobbies are makeup, reading, writing, and public speaking (aka storytelling).

Hello! 💎
Thank you for sending in a request, I hope you like the result ! I’m doing fine, everybody at home is still healthy! 🙏
So I really enjoy how you elaborated on your layered and complex personality, because when I do matches I take people’s negative traits into consideration and they boy’s as well. Let’s face it, nobody’s perfect, and I like how the characters have their own flaws. I always look at how everybody could develop. (although it is not complete redemption cuz i’m not sure if that is possible for demons. like in paradise lost that is impossible but at this point it is not known how far obey me will go with that 🤷 but anyway regardless of canon i like to think that the MC has a positive effect on each character because i prefer healthy relationships) 
So I think your shy first impression would actually draw all of them in. I mean like yeah, they all have their prefered types, but they are also very curious demons (not exactly genuine but curious nevertheless) and would compete to figure out your actual personality. (I mean..Belphie probably not that much but deep down he is interested too)
I think by the time you’d show your deeper layers and vica versa you’d have a strong bond with Mammon (he is supposed to be with you a lot so really; it is hard to avoid opening up to him first but it is up to your imagination how far that goes), Satan would appreciate your shared hobbies and intellect, but it is up to you how much you trust him. Asmo obviously because of makeup, you have a shared interest and he can show you some tricks regarding that. I think both Satan and Asmo could influence your writing also. (Satan knows some lit Devildom stories that the human world lacks, and Asmo probably knows so much gossip nobody is prepared for)     
Now obviously, Asmo is not the ideal partner because he would definitely prefer someone affectionate. 
I’m deciding between Lucifer and Satan..but I am unsure what kinf of improvement you and Lucifer would result in, despite the connection that might form between you two. (I mean I don’t think it is a good idea to pair a kind of arrogant character with a deep-down paranoid person.)
But I think you and Satan could work out. 
I already mentioned the hobbies/shared interests and source of inspiration, but there is more than that to it!
He definitely needs some guidance in his life and no way he would ever let Lucifer play that role. 
It’s not that he is not independent, but he should  reconcile with his birth as much as he can  -  you being a dominant voice of reason under the surface is something he can respect.
Yeah he can be pretty dominant and that might result in arguments from time to time, but you are somebody he needs so he will do his best to apologize if he snaps for some reason. 
You both are witty and sarcastic and I think you would kind of point out the other’s flaws like that. No offense taken on either side.
So his aggressive tendencies the others warned you about might cause paranoia in you but I don’t think he would actually be violent towards the MC so if you bring it up to him in a conversation he would reassure you that you really shouldn’t worry about that. (and then he beats up whoever made you think that, behind your back) 
You see, on the surface he is also calm and collected but on a deeper layer he is also insecure and oh boy he has so much flaws that should be fixed.
Again, you being rational, wise, voice of reason proves to be much needed. 
As I elaborated before, in his case I don’t think there is space for complete redemption but he would go a long way with your aid!
He also adores your ambitions and your goals in life. 
He would read all the work you decide to share with him! He would disappear into the night reading your story and the next time you see him he has a copy of your story in his hand; little notes everywhere, underlined parts, several bookmarks, tons of insanely detailed questions, sharing his interpretations... you better be ready because it will be a long conversation. 
This way he also learns so much about you and the way you express your feelings! He would fall sooo hard, especially when he supposes you like him because of some line on page 73′s third paragraph  
He wouldn’t be sure though. (Again, he can be kind of insecure.)
Not until one of you actually makes a move. I think when that time comes, he would absolutely make a reference to one of your stories one way or another. Even if you don’t write romance. He’s smart, he will find a way.
 I think he would also help you “stay on Earth” considering your fears and tendency of stubborn and prideful behaviour. 
You would never have to ask him for help, as he will be the one suggesting it all the time. He is good at observing people, he will know if/when you need help. He refuses to be rejected by a human so really you have no chance here. 
He also has his own sense of humour so time spent together would involve joking around sometimes. I mean despite his facade, he can be a little brat sometimes. 
Like a cat he likes his independence so really he is not going to force any affection that you would not welcome. Maybe sometimes he enjoys it, but definitely not early in a relationship. 
He would love to participate in your storytelling activities. Not one occassion he would miss.

Your take on the gang as Disney princes/heroes etc?
okay, this is my jam! @arthurs-atonement ​ helped me with a few of these! Thanks bby! Please feel free to add more!  Yall this is gonna be a long post!
Van der Linde boys and girls as Disney’s heroes/heroines 
Notes: This is completely random, sometimes I just go with the general vibes from the characters, sometimes the storyline, etc. I think I saw a post by @redemptionbaby ​ weeks ago talking about this but I can baaaarely remember it?? 
Arthur Morgan: Captain Phoebus (The Hunchback of notre dame) honestly I just kinda think they have quite a bit in common. They’re strong, trustworthy, kind and caring. Even though they both value loyalty, they decide to go against the wishes and orders of their superior, in order to do the right thing and follow their heart. Also, I could just easily see Arthur falling for Esmeralda or someone of her caliber. 
Javier Escuella: Eugene Fitzherbert aka Flynn Rider (Tangled) We all know of Javier's past as a thief, and I love the idea of Javier climbing up a tower in hopes of finding a treasure only to be greeted by a woman who just smacks him with a frying pan, he would also almost definitely try to help her escape as well, he has a big soft heart. Javier and Flynn are both kinda vain so I could absolutely imagine Javier being unhappy with his wanted posters “THIS LOOKS NOTHING LIKE ME” 
Charles Smith: Hercules They’re both very big, strong and soft boys/men who actually really only wanna help those in need. Charles, as well as Hercules, takes on a lot of responsibility. While Hercules does that because he thinks it’s his duty as a hero, Charles does it out of love for the ones he cares about and the goodness of his heart. I’m not tryna say Hercules doesn’t have a good heart u know what I mean ALso I wouldn’t mind seeing Charles in Hercules outfit thank you
Dutch van der Linde: John Smith (Pocahontas) I see some similarities here between those two men, mainly their very fastly shifting priorities. They both are very quick to be fire and flames for something or someone, but it doesn’t take long for them to lose interest. Their priorities change and if those who are close to them do not share their visions, they abandon them. John left Pocahontas in the movies and never answered her letters, or got back to her. Later on, he decides he would just rather sail the world, instead of spending his life with her and when she tells him that she has responsibilities that she can’t run from, he leaves her behind. Dutch also leaves those who love him behind in the end. 
Emma (@arthurs-antonement) says that Gaston is also a very good fit for Dutch, and I agree! While I don’t think Dutch is AS vain as Gaston, he definitely has those tendencies. Much like Gaston, Dutch thinks he’s doing the right thing, and it gets to a point where he doesn't listen to reason anymore which more or less leads to his death. 
Lenny Summers: Aladdin Lenny is a young, inexperienced boy who relies on guidance from the people who surround him and who he looks up to. Both are parentless and thus so crave a place to belong, a better life even. Aladdin is brave, fast on his feet, loyal and also very smart and mischievous; somehow all these fit Lenny perfectly in my opinion?  
Kieran Duffy: Milo Thatch (The lost empire of Atlantis) Okay we know Milo’s biggest asset is his intellect, it’s what get him to join the expedition to Atlantis in the first place. He’s academically trained, which of course is nothing Kieran can say for himself? But none of the gang members can really, so whatcha gonna do. What I love about Kieran is that he’s so incredibly loyal to those he loves, he fights for what he thinks is right. He’s shy and introverted, and so is Milo. They don’t believe they have much to give but that’s so far from the truth, and those who truly get to know them will see that they’re willing to give their all to the right cause. 
Mary-Beth Gaskill: Ariel (The little mermaid) Mary-Beth is a true romantic at heart, and I just know she would have liked the original story of the little mermaid by Hans-Christian Anderson, even though it ends tragically. But we’re with Disney now so, yeah. She’s young, headstrong, loves to daydream, and likes the thrill of adventure. Who am I describing? Is it Mary-Beth? Is it Ariel? We’ll never know. I also can see Mary-Beth actually selling something vital to an evil witch in exchange for a chance to be with her one true love. 
Hosea Matthews: Mufasa (The Lion King) Another suggestion from Emma, which I’m so thankful for because it fits perfectly!! He’s a father figure to Arthur, as much as Mufasa is a father to Simba. Hosea sees through Arthur in a heartbeat and tells him to stay true to himself and to the cause, the real one. Mufasa also reminds Simba to remember who he is and to stay true to his heart. 
John Marston: Prince Eric (The Little Mermaid)  I gotta be honest with you guys I thought long and hard about Johnny M. and I know it doesn’t fit perfectly, but??? I would go with Eric???? I can just perfectly imagine John at the beach, being rescued by someone with a beautiful voice and falling in love instantly, just to be fooled later on because someone else has that exact same voice but looks nothing like the woman who saved him? He’s a little dumb but has a good heart, they both do. 
I also thought about Jack Skellington, someone who wants to escape their current situation because it’s getting unbearable. But it doesn’t work out and he has to fall back into old patterns, into his old life. Also really resonates with Johns life, I think. 
Molly O’Shea: Duchess (The Aristocats) Literally the first thing that came to my mind was the Duchess, whose life has been turned upside down the moment she met this charming stray who shows her the world outside of her guarded home. Molly fell for an outlaw and abandoned her wealthy life for the chance of love, but it turned out to be only a shadow of what she hoped to get. The end of Aristocats is, of course, a happy one. 
Tilly Jackson: Rapunzel (Tangled) Okay can I just say that I adore the visuals here? Tilly sitting in the frame of her window, a book in her hand and an increeeedibly long braid falling down the side of the tower??? Aside from that, Rapunzel's story reminded me a little bit of Tilly. She was “imprisoned” in a gang for a significant amount of time until she freed herself and found a life and a family that loves her. Kinda like Tilly, who was “imprisoned” in her former camp and found Dutch his gang, who protected and cared for her. 
Abigail Marston: Nani (Lilo and Stitch) It actually took me a while to think of a good mother figure...I suppose Disney is notoriously ignoring mothers, or often have them as the villains. While of course Nani isn’t Lilo’s mother, she slips into the role of a parent after their actual parents died. She’s impulsive, and chronically overwhelmed and stressed (but duh she’s not that old herself of course she’s stressed) but also very loving and understanding. Abigail shares all these traits I think! 
Sadie: Merida (Brave)They’re both very headstrong, impulsive and independent. If they put their mind to something, you can be sure that they’re gonna try to make it happen - whatever it takes.
