LUCIFER SFW HEADCANNONS

Omnisexual and Demiromantic, Lucifer finds beauty in just about everyone. 

Struggles with affection, Lucifer's rank as an Angel wasn't known for being overly affectionate. Lucifer can come across as suffocating and controlling when he shows affection. 

Has deep tissue scars where his angel wings used to be, he did rip them clean off his body.

On the rare occasion he misses his old life but that's a rare feeling, usually when he's heavily intoxicated 

He's aware that he misses the memories and not the Celestial Realm himself

His feelings towards the Celestial Realm are mixed at best and negative at worst. 

He wishes he could goof off like the others, but understands his role

Struggles with emotions, both others and his own. 

Admittedly self indulgent, he makes no effort to hide his fondness for alcohol 

Knows how much he has to drink to get to the level of intoxicated he desires

Insists he's not addicted

Smokes when he's particularly stressed out.

Was a leading example of virtue while in the Celestial realm for most of his time there. 

Had a rebellious teen phase

Thinks about having kids more often than he'd even admit to

The idea of Romantic relationships with him makes him uneasy, he hasn't been in one in ages and the last one didn't end well. 

This is because despite all his good traits as a romantic partner his struggles with affection and general tendencies to be protective, even overprotective at times make him worry about chasing people away

This said, Lucifer loves simple pet names like Darling, My Sweet, Love, Babe/Baby, Honey. He does have a few special ones he's fond of using towards his lover.

Scars litter his body, most are superficial but aside from the wings one, other deep scars are on his chest, lower back, neck, face, arms and legs. 

Finds humans endlessly fascinating 

Fangs adorn his top and bottom jaws where human canines are located. 

Has a beastly demon form, he's rarely had to use it and are a mix of a demon and his symbolic animals of Peacock and Bat. He also hates this form.

Likes the harder musical genres outside cursed records. Metal and Rock are his favourites

Cat person, dogs can be too demanding for his tastes

Likes Salty foods

Winter is favourite season

Heat is actually hard for him to deal with

Devildom's natural climate is perfect for him

He regrets his fall, if he could do it again he'd make sure his brothers got to stay.

Had a decent singing voice, he doesn't sing very often though

Slightly an ambivert, heavily leaning introvert. 

He craves social interaction but it drains him pretty fast

Mammon is as much his favourite brother as Mammon is the bane of his existence 

Easily flustered when it comes to personal matters

One of his few fears are dying and being called back to the Celestial Realm and losing his family

Likes True Crime

Has PTSD the worst of his Brothers

Also has Depression, it presents through anger and bouts of despondency, he rarely cries or expresses his emotions any other way

He doesn't like this, but doesn't know any other way.

However one way to loosen him up to cry is again, make him intoxicated.

Pride, Lust, Wrath, Envy, Greed, Gluttony and Sloth are the sins ranked in order of intensity 

Workaholic

Rarely eats, when he does he eats larger portions to counteract the frequency 

Has a hard time sleeping, usually naps throughout the day or when everyone else is sleeping

Lucifer has fallen asleep at his desk more than once.

Gifted in Mathematics 

Actually doesn't like to use his powers outside of necessity 

Tries to get into or research his brother's hobbies to try and bond with them, with varying rates of success. Works out with Beel, Reads what Satan is reading, lets Asmo paint his nails, etc

More compassionate and caring than his demeanour shows 

Wishes to amend things with Satan but understands that to do that, it is on Satan's terms to do so and not a moment sooner

Lucifer's favourite holiday is Halloween

When not working, he's usually reading or corralling his brothers in someway

Takes comfort in Diavolo

Probably needs glasses 

Unhealthily relies on Coffee

One of the other brothers have to go in and give him food/drink or drag him from his desk from time to time

Bad at charging his phone

[clavissionary-position]

Who Gets the Rose Garden

Rhodolite, 2 hours after the previous king kicked the bucket

Clavis rises from his chair, preens his cravat, and with the panache of a peacock he takes his stand at the podium prepared for him at the mathematical center of the Round Table. The sleeves of his long-coat briefly drag along the table's edge as he climbs, but he moves too quickly for Sariel to land a grasp much less a tug.

Gazing solemnly into the eyes of every prince present, Clavis begins his speech. "As the third son to this eccentric dynasty, I've been both privy and party to a number of royal disputes. My position every time, of course, has been in the interest of maximizing pleasure for all involved, I am happy to report. And it is upon that basis which I present my case once again—that of who among us is to inherit the rose garden now that our dear daddy has departed for his new, warmer home.

"I have heard your counterarguments, gentlemen, brothers, reptilian fart, and I plan to address every single one in this speech. Should any of you harbor any further reservations by the end—and I am confident you won't—you may make an appointment with my precocious aide for a one-on-one meeting with me at your leisure. Mi casa es su casa."

Licht: "Yeah, we all live together."

"Rebuttal the first: regarding the traditional transfer of property when a monarch passes. When Belle chooses the successor, that individual shall immediately inherit the full estate and its investments both domestic and abroad. So sayeth this alarmingly thin stack of important papers here." He thumps his palm on the stack for effect. Licht gets up and leaves. "Hence, there is no question as to who the inheritor is. Or so we are led to believe. But consider this: if the surviving members of the royal family collectively share claim of the estate during the interim before a successor is chosen, in other words if we are the ones maintaining it, through our employed staff or otherwise, are we not entitled to—"

Sariel: "No."

"Haha, that was a rhetorical question directed at my brothers. No, no no, don't give me that 'I'm King Regent' look. That brings me to my next point, actually. Me. I've been the one maintaining the garden. Body cleanup? Me. Blood cleanup? Me. Pit fill-up? Me."

Cyran: "The last one—is definitely me. And I think Lord Sariel handles a fair share of the first two."

"Exactly! Cyran toils his little heart out filling in countless holes in the garden. Countless. Sometimes he even has to rescue our little Evie when he accidentally falls into them before they can be filled."

Yves: "Accidentally?!"

"He's taken so many falls he's even come to deceive himself into believing he falls into them on purpose. Gentlemen, brothers, bespectacled toilet plunger, surely you see the horror our shortest brother endures on a daily basis?"

Leon: "Your knight is only filling in the holes that you yourself dug. That's not maintenance."

"But isn't it? By regularly displacing soil, the garden is kept well-nutritioned. This is evidenced quite blatantly in the sheer beauty of our blooms, famous worldwide. My efforts have directly helped boost tourism to this kingdom."

Jin: "That's a huge stretch. And anyway, why not just do your best to become the next king?"

"Jin, you know better than anybody that I have no interest being king. In fact, I clearly have much more freedom to usher in a brand new era for the rose garden, especially in this critical interim period. That's why I'm merely asking for full ownership to be transferred over to me permanently."

Nokto: "Cool. Just tell me again at what point in your speech you made a coherent argument?"

"See? Even Nokto endorses my position."

Nokto: "Did you hear anything I said after 'cool'?"

"And I have no doubt that Licht's hasty exit was so he could provide a tangible, real-time exhibit of my services to the rose garden."

Licht, outside: "Aaaaaaaahhh-oof."

Yves and Leon sprint out of the room.

"Yes! The more witnesses the better! I have been nothing if not a benevolent force to this estate and to my dear kin. With the rose garden under my beautiful supervision, I can only imagine the pleasure and entertainment and boundless tourism that this kingdom will see. There's literally no downside."

Sariel: "Let me ask you one thing. Are you high?"

"High on my hopes and dreams, which are clearly infectious since you all took the time and care to hear me out."

Jin: "Well, you threatened to kidnap my date."

Nokto: "Mine too."

Chevalier: "...."

Sariel: "Come to think of it, why are you here, Prince Chevalier? This level of inanity is hardly worth your attention."

"Haha! Go on. Tell them, Chev."

Chevalier: "Sigh..."

Nokto: "There's probably some big-brain reason behind it."

Jin: "No... wait a second. Look closer at that podium."

Sariel: "My God..."

Chevalier: "Are you done with my desk."

Loretta Cramps character intro - Chrissie's of London

Link to picrew

[Image description and transcript: a vintage-style newspaper inside page. The image is a portrait of a young woman with short blonde hair, dressed in a white blouse and shoulder cape.

THE TYCOON'S TROLLOPE

Further evidence for the poor decision-making on the part of Silas Chrissie, the aforementioned, is his appointment of a young and inexperienced woman to his accounting department.

Loretta Cramps, twenty-seven, of Stepney, attended the Copperfield Road Free School, where she was said to have had a notably unfeminine aptness for mathematics.

The daughter of a shipbuilder, Miss Cramps entered into employment at Chrissie's shortly after the war; there being, presumably, no suitable men to fill the position. When approached for comment, the hotel could not precisely inform the Inquirer of Miss Cramps' duties at the business, leaving it to the reader to speculate on the machinations she could be capable of orchestrating from the right hand of purported skirt-chaser, Silas Chrissie.

Who could argue, however, that this young woman holds a privileged position in the business? Especially considering that Mr Chrissie is rumoured to have ordered a custom peacock-blue gown from a Regent Street dressmaker in roughly her size. Should Miss Cramps' inexperience prove to be the downfall of the business, let it be known that the Inquirer reported it first.

The story unfolds further on page 3.]

[scotianostra]

The Scottish Polymath Mary Somerville died on November 28th 1872 in Naples.

Today Somerville’s name lives on in an Oxford college, but her wider legacy is largely forgotten. She is the face of the Royal Bank of Scotland’s £10 banknote – the first non-royal woman to be honoured in this way.

Born in Mary Fairfax, Jedburgh on 26th December, 1790, Somerville grew up in the Fife seaside town of Burntisland.  She was fascinated by the natural world from the start, collecting shells and fossils, and observing birds and sea creatures.

When her father returned from the sea, he discovered 8- or 9-year-old Mary could neither read nor do simple sums. He sent her to an elite boarding school, across the Firth of Forth, Miss Primrose's School in Musselburgh.

Miss Primrose was not a good experience for Mary and she was sent home in just a year. She began to educate herself, taking music and painting lessons, instructions in handwriting and arithmetic. She learned to read French, Latin, and Greek largely on her own. At age 15, Mary noticed some algebraic formulas used as decoration in a fashion magazine, and on her own she began to study algebra to make sense of them. She surreptitiously obtained a copy of Euclid's "Elements of Geometry" over her parents' opposition.

Four years after marrying, Mary Somerville and her family moved to London. Their social circle included the leading scientific and literary lights of the day, including Ada Bryon and her mother Maria Edgeworth, George Airy, John and William Herschel, George Peacock, and Charles Babbage. Mary and William had three daughters  and a son who died in infancy. They also traveled extensively in Europe.

In 1826, Somerville began publishing papers on scientific subjects based on her own research. After 1831, she began writing about the ideas and work of other scientists as well. One book, "The Connection of the Physical Sciences," contained discussion of a hypothetical planet that might be affecting the orbit of Uranus. That prompted John Couch Adams to search for the planet Neptune, for which is he is credited as a co-discoverer.

Mary Somerville's translation and expansion of Pierre Laplace's "Celestial Mechanics" in 1831 won her acclaim and success: that same year, British prime minister Robert Peel awarded her a civil pension of 200 pounds annually. In 1833, Somerville and Caroline Herschel were named honorary members of the Royal Astronomical Society, the first time women had earned that recognition. Prime Minister Melbourne increased her salary to 300 pounds in 1837. William Somerville's health deteriorated and in 1838 the couple moved to Naples, Italy. She stayed there most of the remainder of her life, working and publishing.

In 1848, Mary Somerville published "Physical Geography," a book used for 50 years in schools and universities; although at the same time, it attracted a sermon against it in York Cathedral.

William Somerville died in 1860. In 1869, Mary Somerville published yet another major work, was awarded a gold medal from the Royal Geographical Society, and was elected to the American Philosophical Society.

By 1871, Mary Somerville had outlived her husbands, a daughter, and all of her sons: she wrote, "Few of my early friends now remain—I am nearly left alone." Mary Somerville died in Naples on November 29, 1872, just before turning 92. She had been working on another mathematical article at the time and regularly read about higher algebra and solved problems each day.

Her daughter published "Personal Recollections of Mary Somerville" the next year, parts of a work which Mary Somerville had completed most of before her death.

forbidden Miraculous Ladybug essays:

How Hawk Moth failed upwards to Monarch

Felix and Zoé: Mirror Images

Lila Rossi doesn’t exist if she’s not in an episode

The Peacock Miraculous probably creates P-Zombies

Adrien should have cataclysmed Master Fu

Catalyst created a plot hole

You do all realise the fanfics wouldn’t exist without the show?

Single André theory

Akuma style rankings

How Hawk Moth violates the GDPR

Lila Rossi hatedom is really rather disturbing

How my super-cool Fanwalker would kick ass and defeat Hawk Moth

How my super-evil Fanwalker would lose to the heroes, but still be really awesome

Best Miraculous for Doing Crimes

Obligatory Coma Theory (for both Marinette, Adrien, Gabriel and Plagg)

SentiNooroo Theory

Begrudging defense of Gabriel being good at hiding his identity

Why not make a SentiBeing to use the Peacock

Napoleon Bonaparte should be the next Miraculous Ladybug villain

Timetagger caused Chat Blanc

Mathematical Proof that all Miraculous Fix-Fics are worse than the show

SentiFang Theory

Even if it runs to 12 seasons, Miraculous Ladybug will end before A Song of Ice and Fire

Any one of these would surely destroy the Miraculous Ladybug fandom, as the destructive truths within are just that volatile. Thankfully, I am easily distracted by new Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering cards and Doctor Who episodes, so everything is fine.

#miraculous ladybug #ml meta #although the gabriel hiding his identity one I might actually write #plus seeing it written down makes me interested in doing the zoé felix one

TRIVIA

NEW LIFE

Minerva's unique magic which allows her to create a marionette based on a person she has learned about. To use her magic she must learn the person's name , age , star sign and birthday.

Minerva is the definition of boy crazy , losing any semblance of thought when one enters her line of sight. So many men in dac think of Minerva as a ditzy bimbo.

Meanwhile she is incredibly intellectual, and one of the best programmers in Dac, only behind Namico Zycrest, her best friend.

She is often around Isla Vanity, another close friend of hers in Outlandical, who speaks for her more often than not.

Minerva is a bit of a try hard, always sucking up to professors.

She is one of the few people Harper Zippah dislikes. Despite being her co-worker.

Harper, Minerva and Isla all work under one person that no one knows the real identity of, following out their whims with no question.

The Name of the Order of the White Peacock's Secretary

The Order of the White Peacock's secretary suposedly has a Timelord like name, "∞×∑û≠∆". (The fact it's mathematical/greek nicknaming convention rather then a conventional long form Timelord name should be naoted as it may be significant)' The name itself translates as: "Infinity Times Sigma Umlaut Inequation Delta", (shortened to, "Sigma Umlaut Delta") which doesn't seem to have any meaning or be coded.

Possible reasons 1.Intended as an intentional parody like the robes in 8.D.A., "Alien Bodies". 2.He is a Timelord either a defector or one thath as had their past/biodata heavily modified). 3.He is a ficional Timelord converted using ionic energy.

i keep forgetting to finish this 6 fanarts i made so it's still a wip at the moment but here's the initial draft anyways

- - -

- - -

emiko's one of the elders i usually interact with. i am, admittedly, intimidated by the woman, as she reminds me of my sixth grade mathematics teacher. other than that, I'm sure y'all are already familiar with everyone else on the other panels lmfao. i might make another file for other non-canon people I've met.

madara and hikaku, as far as I've seen, both have old burn scars on their arms. the latter also has this near-unnoticeable line on his lips.

izuna, in contrast, is too slippery in fights and is too proud to have anything injure his face (he is an absolute peacock in my DR; there's been close calls with bruising in spars, but people are actually hesitant to land hits on him).

most of kagami's wounds are on his fingers, and it's usually caused by playing around with sharp objects. sometimes, i still marvel over the casual acceptance on handing children weapons. it's a given, considering the DR, but there's still a slight disorientation when i shift to it (especially when i come back after a while of not shifting).

#also no. this is not a semi-hate post on izuna or anything #yes he's annoying on a daily basis and his arrogance needs to be curbed—but i don't actually despise the man #not in the way i do with some people i've met in my CR #shifting #shifting realities #reality shifting #desired reality #shift #shifting shenanigans #shifting to naruto #uchiha clan #uchiha hikaku #uchiha izuna #uchiha madara #uchiha kagami #six fanarts #6 fanarts #my art

[obey-me-apocalypso-official]

Here's some ideas we've selected for Apocalypso's actual 'names', and their origins/reasons why they were considered. They also need to have a semi coherent theme, so we also can't simply pick names randomly. These are just ideas, feel free to give us your own

Conquest

Victor: adapted from 'victory', it works well as a name that could simply have been selected to blend in with human society.

Midas: inspired by the myth of king midas, someone who could turn whatever he touched to gold. Conquest's an avid fan of human myths and stories. He finds them amusing. It wouldn't be above him to undergo a name inspired by one.

Adamas: the greek god of conquest.

Adramelech: "Assyrian god (former). Considered a sun god by the Assyrians and associated with human sacrifice. Like many pagan gods, he was transformed into a demon by Judeo-Christian writers - a fallen angel in Milton's Paradise Lost and the President of the Senate of the demons by Collin de Plancy. He is also known as the Chancellor of Hell and supervisor of Satan's wardrobe. He is generally depicted with a human torso and head, and the rest of the body of a mule or peacock."

Astaroth: "A very powerful demon, depicted as a nude man with feathered wings, wearing a crown, holding a serpent in one hand, and riding a beast with dragon-like wings and a serpent-like tail. He is a demon of the First Hierarchy who seduces by means of laziness, vanity and rationalized philosophies. He also teaches mathematical sciences and handicrafts, can make men invisible and lead them to hidden treasures, and answers every question formulated to him. He is said to give to humans the power over serpents."

War

Abigor/Eligos: "... A demon of the superior order, conjured for his power to foretell the future and to provide military aid and advice. He is shown either in the form of a handsome knight bearing a lance and a standard, or as a ghostly specter riding a winged horse. In Hell he commands sixty legions of devils. Also known as the Grand Duke of Hades."

Mars: the roman god of war

Ares: the greek god of war

Famine

Abaddon/Apollyon : ".. King of the demon locusts sent to torment mankind and lord of the bottomless pit."

Nergal:"..an ancient Mesopotamian deity of death, pestilence and plague. He was viewed as a god by that culture, and later turned into a demon by the Christians, being identified with Satan."

Pazuzu: "from the same culture(mesopotamia) who was actually viewed as demon. His realms were mostly considered to be famine and drought." He also appears in the exorcist.

Limos: greek god of famine

Death

Grim: it's self explanatory. The only problem with this is that the currency in OM is already named after this.

Charon: the boatman of the underworld in greek mythology. The only problem is just that: it's greek mythology. He has a similar purpose to Death though..

Thanatos: the greek god of death/ reaper.

Azrael:"... in Islam, the angel of death who separates souls from their bodies; he is one of the four archangels (with Jibrīl, Mīkāl, and Isrāfīl) and the Islamic counterpart of the Judeo-Christian angel of death, who is sometimes called Azrael."

Azazel / Azaz'el: "... A supernatural being mentioned by Leviticus in connection with the ritual of the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)"
