“Arknights/Limbus Company/etc is obviously very political, why are these incels playing it?” Here’s a longer answer if you’re interested.
If you haven’t been watching gacha communities for the past decade this might be confusing to you, but these guys see the games as just apolitical stories with a majority or all-female cast being there to titillate the male viewer. They are for his consumption. It’s why in both eastern and western “gacha game” communities you can see them talking about how these games are better for having “beautiful” anime women versus the hideous hags of western media. I’ve seen so many people asking “how are incels playing a game with so many strong female characters?” They see them not as “strong female” characters but rather “eyecandy made for me”. tbh when it comes down to it I wouldn’t call any of the designs in these games absolutely groundbreaking for the anime genre they’re aiming for. Arknights even follows the standard “fully animal faced-guy” and the female equivalent “small featured anime animal girl with some fur”. This doesn’t mean the designs are bad or you’re foolish for enjoying them of course, there are a lot of fun ones. Anyway, you can see the same sentiment in the majority of anime communities as well. Like do you think that stereotype of an anime nerd who “loves 2D women but hates 3D women” means he’s a feminist because the 2D girl is still female?
To be frank, after some of the actions taken by these companies (ex. the firing of women for posting anything vaguely feminist) can you honestly say an “apolitical game with anime babes” is not the way the games are often enjoyed? The company Yostar who publishes Arknights in Korea literally wrote a statement saying the game is apolitical and calling feminism a dividing force. If the publisher can say something so flippantly like this just to appease their incel fanbase, how can the game be making any meaningful, hardline progressive political statements? I am of course not saying this renders any positive message you get from these games moot nor am I saying it’s impossible for the writers to be passionate about their work, I’m just relaying the thoughts of the incels/“gacha gamers” playing them because there seems to be confusion. What I’m writing here doesn’t mean the worst interpretation of these games are their defining interpretations. I’m trying to explain how the games that many people see as being antithetical to incel beliefs can have these same men as high-spending fans.
Gacha games are unique in the world of consumer media in their extremely close and constant relationship with the consumer. You have to not only love each character’s design (and sometimes story) but also be willing to drop serious gambling money to “buy” them every single month. It’s like merchandizing on steroids. I think the term “whale” has been watered down since younger kids have started playing, but these people spend thousands per patch. Over the years I’ve heard about multiple games like this being sustained by just a couple of high spenders. In 2018 there was even a western news article about a man who had spent $70k+ on FGO. The publisher can’t rock the boat too much to displease the consumer too many times without risking EoS. Every character design and story of a gacha game is affected by this FIRST while any artistic intent comes second.
A Korean woman who had lost her job due to similar “feminist hunting” tactics wrote an article describing the way these incel men think. I posted it here and part of it summarized: the men that play these games see themselves as buying and “owning” the female characters in gacha games, who are often dressed and presented to them in a highly sexualized manner and will obey their commands. In the same way they “own” these 2D women, they also want to own the thoughts of the real live female illustrators who work on the games. Therefore, if these women have expressed ideas that the male gamers find upsetting, they will be angry she doesn’t conform to what they want like the servile 2D girl and do everything to get her fired (this is where she mentions Limbus Company as the most recent example of this happening).
You can argue for some of these games, maybe the girls aren’t dressed super provocatively and give (you) shit instead of being a simpering doll, but in the end it’s not like they can physically walk away or stop speaking to you. For the “waifu” hunter guy it’s just a different type of anime girl to collect.
The stories in these games are generally not what gets targeted as much by incels. In gacha “gamer” communities, especially the Korean incel ones, their main concerns are: how revealing are the summer swimsuits? How many women work for the company designing characters? and related, Are the male characters designed for women or for men and do they “look gay”? If you search through this blog, you can see them directly speaking about these things in regards to their hatred of Genshin Impact and Star Rail. All of these have also been encapsulated in the original Limbus Company incel attack: they hated that the summer female character looked more “clothed” (wearing a skintight suit instead of a bikini) than the male summer character. They thought the collar necklace and open shirt on the male summer character meant he was “a slave” for the female viewers, so obviously it was designed by a woman. When they learned a man designed and illustrated those characters, they searched to find a female illustrator who worked in the game and went after her instead. These guys WERE FANS that played the game beforehand and didn’t think anything in the story was upsetting enough to attack the company about. They were familiar enough with the works of Project Moon to name their little group after an antagonizing force in one of PM’s previous (non-gacha) videogames. And Project Moon saw them as such a significant part of their gacha fanbase that they wrote an immediate apology and fired the artist. How do these actions in reality inform their fiction and the interpretation of it? Getting this out of the way, they were NOT in any danger, the “fans” were not clamoring to get in their offices or camping outside, they were let in and calmly had a meeting with some employees at the office. You can still find photos of them goofing around, the ridiculous write up they brought with them and a transcript of the conversation. This was not a “guy shows up at Mihoyo’s offices with a knife” situation. In the end it was a financial and moral loss for the studio with many new and longtime fans completely dropping the games and Limbus Company taking one of the biggest financial and D/MAU drops for a gacha I’ve ever seen. You can read more regarding the ramifications of this here, this post is already pretty long for this website anyway.
Again I’m not writing this to shame anyone who plays these games, loves their characters or enjoys their stories. I don’t really care either way, and I obviously find the genre interesting or else I wouldn’t have been monitoring it and the fans for a decade. I just want to shine a light on the thoughts of the more “incel” gamers that play some of these games since I have seen a lot of genuine confusion as to why they would play them. In the future my aim is to write a more in-depth post about these issues, their history and the way antifeminists think.

Could I request the seven brothers' reactions to seeing s/o sleeping in a skimpy nightgown or lingerie?
Obey me boys + s/o in sexy lingerie for a sleepover
Lucifer
He wants to pretend that he’s more dignified than his brothers, but he is still a man. His sexiest version of lingerie is something that is subtlety revealing. The ‘idea’ of what’s underneath is what’s most enticing. Seems like he’s not interested but his hands are immediately on you the minute you’re in bed.
Mammon
Mammon is a ‘visual’ learner. Which means if you want to get his attention you’ll have to show him; he’ll miss it like the ‘b’ in subtle is you play coy with him. He also likes clothes & fashion, so you coming to bed in some luxury brand teddy, or better yet something you mopped up from one of your shows together, is like a 2-for-1 sale to him. Careful not to rip it, as he knows that it’s expensive, but some of those lacings on lux brands get on his nerves!
Levi
He can’t cope with it. Either he gets too over stimulate and gets a nose bleed, or just not interested. Sexy lingerie just isn’t in Levi’s wheelhouse. NOW…if the sexy lingerie is cosplay or anime themed, he’s all in. Come to bed in a cute bunny outfit, or classic Morrigan get up, and Levi will actually pause his game to come to bed with you. Even if it’s a new release.
Satan
His opinion on it is very middle of the road. Of course seeing you in something sexy is something he’s going to be interested in, but he also finds costumes like this rather frivolous. Why put on something so intricate and specific just to wear it for a few moments, then take it off? Like Lucifer (although he will deny it) something more casual and glossy is more sexy to him. Like a long, sheer nightgown or his pajama tops that hang on your frame, with no bottoms.
Asmo
He loves it so much! Obviously, being the Avatar of Lust, anything sexy is something he’s very into. The fact that you’re wearing it especially for him (or at least that’s what he keeps telling himself) if a bonus. Would want to wear sexy lingerie too since he’s pretty gender fluid with his wardrobe. Also has a whole closet of stuff for you to try on as well.
Beel
Not really a fan of sexy lingerie. It’s nice and all, but he thinks it’s a bit excessive. Also they are usually made out of lace, sheer, or thin materials, so Beel is scared of ripping it if he touches it. Honestly, his version of ‘sexy lingerie’ is booty shorts and a t-shirt. Being natural and comfortable is very sexy too him.
Belphie
Also doesn’t like it. It’s too complicated to get out of, and unlike Beel he’ll just tear it off. Also, why would you wear something so uncomfortable to bed? It doesn’t look very cozy to sleep in or get comfortable. Belphie personally thinks it’s a waste of money.

Colder Weather - Mammon, Leviathan, Asmodeus, Beelzebub and Belphegor
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Genre: fluff headcanons
Summary: how the boys act when it’s cold + snowing outside
CW: cold weather, snow, asmo forcing you to go outside (ew), lots of cuddling, pretty mid writing on my part
okok so no Lucifer or Satan for this one cause I just had no ideas :((( like I had a few but not nearly enough for complete hcs so sorry guys
also holy fuck it’s been a while since I wrote obey me hcs lmao so im a little rusty…sorry guys
also I promise I’ll shut up but it’s gonna be almost -50 celsius here this weekend (yay, Canada!) so I will be stuck inside if you guys have any obey me (or other fandoms) ideas!!
Tumblr media
Mammon:
Mammon and to snow DO NOT mix
biggest baby in the entire Devildom when it gets cold
he has this super tacky fur coat that he insists is real rabbit fur (it’s faux—the big softy couldn’t bear real fur)
refuses to leave the house, even if he has to work
worse than that: he refuses to let you leave the house, even if you have things to do
“hey, human. where d’ya think you’re going? it’s cold out there. you’ll get sick, or worse, dead!”
invites you to his room cause he has this ‘super awesome heater’ (read: himself)
you end up lounging on the couch with him and watching movies with excruciatingly long car chases
you start shivering despite the sweater you’re wearing, and Mammon not so begrudgingly beckons you over to come sit under the blanket with him
honestly he forgets how to breathe because you’re so close and you smell nice and you’re relying on him for warmth
at some point it gets colder and you start shivering again
goes to grab another blanket but you stop him, looking up at him with those pleading eyes
“don’t go, mams. i’ll freeze without you.”
pretends to be humble about it but inside he is screaming
not sure how it happens but you end up in his lap??
he has both arms around you, cocooning you between him and the blanket
you both fall asleep on the couch, snow storm long forgotten
Leviathan:
locks himself in his room to spend the whole day watching anime
also sorry but this man’s room is a whole terrarium
he’s got his heater, his fan, his air purifier, his humidifier
his place is always the perfect temperature and the perfect place to take refuge in a blizzard
he pretends like he’s annoyed when you come into his room, dressed in warm clothes and fuzzy socks, a blanket draped over your shoulders
but really he doesn’t mind—he actually has to hide his rosy cheeks with you because he’s so flustered at the idea that you chose him
orders an insane amount of comfort food to eat during your anime marathon
like heaps and heaps of food that the two of you couldn’t possibly finish
offers you to share his blanket with him, wrapping it around the two of you to keep warm while you munch on food
somehow it turns into you leaning your head on his shoulder, eyelids getting heavy in the warmth of his room
Levi can’t even be annoyed that you’re missing episodes of the anime—you look so cute like this
Asmo:
HATES the cold, LOVES the snow 
it’s a weird dynamic…
dresses you up in the cutest snowsuit ever, and forces you to sit outside in the cold for over an hour taking pictures 
“asmo we’re gonna catch a cold”
“demons don’t get sick from the cold, don’t be silly”
you’re not a demon????
when he’s finally done with the pictures don’t expect any attention from him after
he still has to edit, caption and post them to Devilgram 
you sit under his comforter in the corner of his bed, shivering miserably and shooting glares at him from the corner of your eyes 
Finally he puts down his DDD and looks at you, his eyes sparkling when he sees just how cute and cold you look 
uses the cold as an excuse to get as close to you as possible, cuddling you tightly 
he’s so tempted to take a selfie of the two of you in bed together but he doesn’t want to ruin the moment 
probably insists on your laying between his legs with your head on his chest for ‘maximum warmth’ 
really he just want to feel you
you end up falling asleep in his room, and who is he to wake you? 
Beel:
honestly indifferent to the cold
he’s just built differently 
he’s not the biggest fan of it, but he’s not as much of a baby as some of his older brothers 
still, he doesn’t quite like the idea of you going out in the cold (at least, not without proper protection)
offers to get anything you need, but if you insist on going out, he’ll come with you 
and of course he bundles you up first 
has you dressed in one of his sweaters with one of his old winter jackets over top
you look tiny in his big clothes 
when you get home after he’ll make you stand in front of the heater to warm up while he disappears into the kitchen 
of course he’s going into the kitchen 
but you’re pleasantly surprised when he comes back with two steaming bowls of chicken noodle soup
you guys eat and watch a movie in the living room, Beel asking you every five minutes if you’re cold 
you take another one of his sweaters just to get him to stop bothering you about it  
insists on feeding you every hour and piling snacks on the coffee table 
“don’t give me that look. you need food to stay warm, y/n.”
Belphie:
hates blizzards because they interrupt his sleep 
he can usually sleep through anything—from sunny days to volcanic eruptions
but the cold??? no way
his bed gets cold and even his thickest, softest blankets don’t help 
but…maybe a certain warm human could help his sleep 
ends up crawling into bed with you in the middle of the night, hardly making a sound 
you only wake when you feel the bitter cold on your body slowly fading away, a new warmth pressed against you 
“go back to sleep—don’t move! im comfy....”
you’re not even phased by Belphie sneaking into bed with you at this point 
and the warmth is honestly really nice 
you cuddle back into him, shoving your back as tight against his chest as it will go 
he throws an arm over your waist, holding your hip flush against his 
definitely stays with you the whole night—and the next few after that 
with the excuse he’s just ‘keeping warm’, of course 
checks on you every time he wakes up in the night, groggily reaching out to make sure you’re still warm and okay

IM BRAINROTTING ON THE OBEY ME CAST AS FATHERS,
how would they name their children???😩😩😩
how the obey me brothers would name their children
Tumblr media
disclaimer; these are my personal headcanons, feel free to tell which names you liked the most!
edit;;i posted the side characters version too! go check it out if you want <//3
genre; fluff
Tumblr media
lucifer;
lucifer would either name the baby with a variation of his name, or homage somebody or something dear to him
if it’s a boy, lucian or lucius. both names means light, if it’s a girl, he would call her lilith. danica is a second option: the name means morning star.
mammon;
he would either name his baby after something expensive. another option is mashing up your names together
if it’s a boy he would go for midas, which means touch of gold, or straight up fortune,
if its a girl, esmeralda which means emerald. or diamond, the name speak for itself.
leviathan;
definitely name his baby to reference something he likes. some people may think he would name his children after an anime character he likes, but that is not the case
if it’s a boy, henry without a doubt, the name means house ruler. he would also like christopher, to simeon’s joy, which means bearing christ. very very ironic.
if its a girl, mira, which means ocean. he also likes umiko, a japanese name that means child of the sea.
satan;
he takes inspiration from human literature and would name his baby after a character or author he particularly likes.
if it’s a boy, william which means protection and desire. he chose it because of william sherlock scott holmes, probably the most famous fictional detective in the history of literature, it’s also a reference to shakespeare. another boy name is dante which means everlasting, after the italian poet dante alighieri, that wrote “the divine comedy”, which is set in heaven, purgatory and then hell.
if it’s a girl he would name her juliet which means youthful, another tribute to shakespearen literature. emma, after jane austen’s book, is also a name he likes, it’s means whole or universal.
asmodeus;
he only choose the name if it’s pretty. often goes for floral and fancy names that sound aesthetically pleasing to him.
if it’s a boy, narciso which means of narcissus, named after the myth.
he briefly considered cupid but he threw away the idea and choose a simple but pretty name like prince, which means royal son.
if it’s a girl, regina which means queen, or bellerose which means beautiful rose.
beelzebub;
he is a family-oriented person, and will try to pass his values to his children.
if it’s a boy, titan which means defender. despite being the name of a fruit, he also likes açaí which means weeping fruit.
if it’s a girl, ohana which means family in hawaiian, another name he consider is belarmina which means beautiful armor, he choose it because it’s starts with ‘bel’, just like his and belphegor’s name.
belphegor;
big fan of space-related names, it’s even easier for him since there are a lot of stars and constellations he can get his inspiration from. like lucifer, he would also try to pay homage to lilith.
if it’s a boy, sirius which means glowing, named after the brightest star in the earth’s night sky. he also likes badar which means full moon.
if it’s a girl, a name variation of lilith, something like lilithe or just lili. he also likes alrisha, one of the brightest star of the pisces constellation, since pisces is his and beelzebub’s zodiacal sign.

Obey Me × MC with chronic migraines
[ ft. the 7 brothers (seperate), Diavolo, Barbatos ]
cws: fluff mostly, brief nsfw ref with Asmo
Lucifer
the most consistent of the brothers with getting your meds and not panicking, more importantly
he tends to get small headaches from overworking, so he offers his meatheads to make you feel better if you don't have any practical ones ("no, im not letting you chug a gallon of chocolate milk thats not going to help. ..what do you MEAN thats worked before???")
insists on you laying down and resting in his room until you feel better. doesn't matter how often it is, he always makes you stop whatever you're doing to go rest
will play his softer records while you sleep in hopes it'll help the migraine go away faster
Mammon
panics, first and foremost.
are you broken? dying? humans are fragile MC don't laugh at him he's WORRIED
especially worried if you describe the pain as stabbing. for a second he genuinely thinks you're being stabbed by some Witch's voodoo doll of you. that concern never fully leaves
his worry turns to pampering when he's realized you're not, in fact, being stabbed through a doll, and now he's full of questions
will suggest anything and everything he can think of to help you, from the lights to kisses. doesn't matter he WILL try it
Levi
in awe you came to him about being in pain before anything else
awkwardly offers to let you sleep in his tub, and to get you meds or something else you might ask for
if the lights in Henry's tank bother you he'll put blankets over the tub so you don't have to look at them so directly
if physical contact helps and you ask him to lay with you he will lose his fucking mind. he'll do it but he'll be stiff as shit for several minutes before finally relaxing
offers to read his/your favorite manga to you if the noise wont be a bother
surprisingly really fucking clingy when you're so reliant on him. it makes him feel special
will play the lofi or quiet anime music that helps him sleep if the noise won't bother you. he figures if it helps him sleep it might help you not be in pain :)
Satan
also in awe you chose to come to him with this, especially if it's NB!Satan. he takes less time to process than Levi though
makes a big show of tucking you into his bed to rest, offers to get you tea and to read to you if the noise isn't an issue
if lights are a trigger dont even worry about it his room is dark as fuck!
he pampers you a bit less than Mammon does, but he still insists on getting you things and doing stuff for you.
takes very quick notice of your triggers, and does his best to help you avoid them!
zero hesitation will yell at the others for possibly accidentally causing another attack he gets protective quick.
Asmo
immediate pampering he doesn't need to be told twice
"oh, you don't feel good? here let me take care of EVERYTHING today don't even worry about it"
if scents are a trigger and his soaps or perfumes/colognes get a migraine going he will not stop apologizing. he feels AWFUL
dims all his lights and does his best to neutralize all the smells in his room, insisting you stay and let him take care of you
will also try everything he can think of, or at least suggest it
he's not the biggest fan of the idea of doing stuff to you while you're in pain but if that helps you he'll try it. but you gotta tell him the second it starts getting worse because the pampering will continue exactly where it left off
Beel
he's so worried :(
also lowkey thinks you're dying so he's extra careful with you.
will do anything you ask bro is at your beck and call when you don't feel good
akin to everyone else he'll bring up anything he can think of that might help
more than willing to cuddle you into feeling better if you ask.
gets Lucifer to bring you meds because he doesn't wanna leave you alone, and if you're not the biggest fan of taking them he'll stare at you with the biggest puppy eyes until you do
Belphie
pulls you upstairs to the attic and insists on you sleeping it off, even if that doesn't always work
a big cuddler so he doesn't mind holding you if physical contact helps
goes and gets you medicine and a drink without even being asked, and if you question or tease him about it he'll just mutter something about wanting to sleep in peace without you complaining about your head
he's just worried don't let him fool you again
very observant with your triggers and when you're around bright lights or loud noises, for example, too long he'll pull you aside and quietly ask if you're still feeling okay. if it's a yes he'll pretend he never asked and if it's a no, he'll pull you back to the attic pft
Diavolo
also thinks you're dying at first. i mean, for all he knew you were! Solomon hardly counts as human so imagine his absolute panic when his first actual human starts complaining of excessive brain pain. several times.
after you've been around a while though, he's super calm about it
words cannot express how quickly he goes "oh okay! here, drugs"
does keep your medicine on him basically constantly, just in case!
takes you to his room or to an unused room in RAD so you can rest for a little bit, and if it's bad enough at RAD he'll just fucking leave to take you home lmao
doesn't fully understand still, but he's doing his best! it's the thought that counts even if he's unknowingly making it just a little worse </3
Barbatos
also keeps your medicine on his person after a while.
memorizes your list of triggers and things that help as soon as he realizes you get migraines at all. he uses his power to find when you mention said lists and if you ask, he'll just smile and tell you not to worry about it
also tends to pull you aside when you're around your triggers for a while to make sure you're alright. regardless of answer he reminds you he has your meds if you need them
if warm drinks or comfort foods help, he figures out how to make them and when pretty fast. he likes being efficient at getting your pain to go away as soon as possible

obey me headcanons pt. 3
word count: 800+
Lucifer sometimes drinks a bit too much demonus while he's out with Diavolo, so he ends up ranting about his brothers and how much he appreciates you for helping him take care of them. he's gets a little jealous when you baby his brothers more than you do him, but his pride won't let him admit that.
Mammon wishes you would show up after his photo shoots, to beg for autographs  and fawn over him as his fans do. but he forgets that crowds make you nervous, so that's why you don't show up. so he saves copies of his magazines and signs them in gold sharpie for you and slips them under your door.
Levi likes to design stickers of your favorite anime characters for your laptop or water bottle, and claims he found them on Akuzon (he would simply pass away from embarrassment if you found out he was the original creator)
Satan likes to read to you (obviously), not just because he enjoys your company or the fact that you always listen to him. but because sometimes if he talks for too long, you'll curl up beside him or rest your head on his shoulder and fall asleep. by then he has temporarily lost interest in his book because he's leaning his head against yours or wrapping his arms around you to sleep as well.
Asmo is a self-care king, and will 100% take care of you when you are going through a rough patch and don't feel like leaving your room. he will paint your nails, style your hair, show you his ideas for his next fashion show (he loves when you give him feedback about his designs) and will 100% praise you and lift your mood. Asmo loves to worship you, so expect many compliments and massages. don't have the energy for all that? then he will simply hold you in his arms and let you vent to him.
Beel enjoys building you pillow forts. he'll push the beds together, and fill the fort with pillows, blankets (oops Belphie was wrapped up in one of those), and of course snacks! he really enjoys being able to spend quiet time with you and Belphie (with the exception of him making happy munching noises) without his brothers bothering them. just the simple intimacy of being able to hold you and eat food with you is enough to make his entire week.
Belphie will often let you or Asmo brush and style his hair in the mornings before heading off to RAD. sometimes if he's too sleepy, you can get away with sneaking cute little clips into his hair. he'll also let you pluck his eyebrows, but only if he can lay in your lap while you do it (the thought of Asmo with tweezers is terrifying to him)
Diavolo finds it so entertaining when you talk about the human world or rant about anything. he'll have a look of pure adoration and fascination the whole time. he loves it because he's able to take in the details of your face, hear your sweet voice, and finds it so cute when you talk with your hands (just don't corrupt him too much, Barbatos will get a headache)
Barbatos keeps the charm bracelet you made him hidden under his glove so it doesn't get messed up. you're able to feel it brush against your wrist when he's holding your hand. his favorite charms are the silver tea cup, teal heart, and black bat that you gave him for his birthday (you had to keep him out of the kitchen so you could make a birthday cake for him, he really tried to plan his own party-)
Simeon enjoys making flower crowns with you. he always finds them to be more beautiful and meaningful than his own halo, and will proudly wear them for the entire day. he saves them and hangs them on his bed posts. he places a soft kiss on your cheek as a silent thank you, he's already blushing madly, so he doesn't want to fumble on his own words too.
Solomon has successfully convinced Barbatos to give him cooking lessons at least twice a month (food poisoning is not romantic) he wants to be able to cook for you, and not have to hold your hair back after every time you eat his food (you still eat it because you love him so much) but he takes such good care of you when your sick, regardless of the reason, and he'll even hold back from teasing you. he has pepto and forehead kisses on standby.
Luke always asks for you to come shopping with him for baking supplies. he holds your hand so he doesn't get lost, it's happened before- he about gave you a heart attack. make animal-shaped cookies for him and he'll tell you you're his best friend the whole time he's eating them (you and Simeon are his only best friends, so when you give him gifts he tears up because he's so happy) will hold your hand in front of Lucifer and his brothers just to spite them.

Bloodline
Fandom: Attack on Titan Warnings: Fluff, Smut, Breeding, Discussion of Pro-creation for a Cause, Soft Sex, Sub-par Writing. Word Count: 2.8k.
Summary: Levi had expected to dedicate a lot to the scouts, but this... This wasn't one of them.
A/N: This is more of a concept piece. The idea has been buzzing around my head for the best part of a year now and still, I don't think I've quite done it justice. (Correction, I haven't done it justice at all). Maybe, I'll come back here when I figure out what it's missing? Maybe not. Until then, this is all I've got.
Tumblr media
‘You’re shaking.’ You take Levi’s hand and inspect the way his fingers vibrate as if a nerve has trapped in his wrist. Rotating it in your palm, you press a finger to the thin vein beside the bone and feel for the panicked thrum of his heart. ‘We can just pretend if you want. It’s not certain that I’ll even conceive… We can tell them it didn’t work -.’
‘No.’ Levi’s voice is strong, despite his nervousness. He shuffles on the bed, hips inching backwards a little as he searches for a comfort that evades him. ‘They’d only make me try with someone else.’ He swallows and you can hear the way his Adams-apple shakes in his throat as he forces down a weary breath.
‘Levi – I - .’ You’re cut off, caught by surprise as he brings his hand up part way as if to stroke your cheek. He freezes mid-air, his body stiffening before he lets his arm drop back to his side.
‘No.’ The blood in his head thunders, making speaking difficult. There’s so much static in his head that he’s sure he’s shouting, so he compensates, whispers to you and the darkness of the room. ‘If it has to be anyone. I want it to be you.’
His confession tightens your shoulders and dries out your mouth. Slinking your hand around his wrist, you slip your fingers into his and wait for him to close his grip around you. He does with all the hesitance of a spooked animal and a smile is pulled from your lips as you watch his eyes become glued to the connection between your bodies.
‘I’ve -.’ He coughs, clearing his throat of the embarrassment he hasn’t quite managed to keep from his cheeks. ‘I’ve never done this before.’
‘Oh.’ Your grip falters on his hand as shock loosens your muscles, only to be held tight by Levi who clings to you, scared you’ll let go. You don’t. You readjust your grip, flex your knuckles and cling back. 'You've never -.'
'No.'
For a second you think he might explain himself, or at least offer up an explanation, but he doesn't. It's hard to imagine: humanities strongest, a virgin. The idea is obscure. Even within the uncertainty of the scouts, you'd thought suitors would be easy to come by. After all there had been a list of at least thirty women who had offered up their bodies, their wombs for this – A re-establishment of the Ackerman line.
'I'm sorry.' Levi's lips press together, his hold faltering on your hand. He's never disobeyed a direct order and Erwin had been more than clear. He was to produce an heir, a child to take on the mantel he would leave behind. 'With gifts like yours,' Erwin had said, frowning at the papers on his table. 'The scouts could finally retake wall Maria, we could eradicate our enemies entirely.' and who was he to deny humanity it's sanctuary?
'Do you trust me?' You keep your voice soft, bringing Levi back from his daydream as gently as you can.
Levi nods, uneasy.
'Then, at least let me make you feel good.'
He gulps as you lean in, your breath fanning his cheeks for a brief moment before you press a gentle kiss to his mouth. It's soft, barely a touch as you crawl to your knees and hover over him.
‘Lean back…’
It’s not a command, but he obeys anyway. He lowers himself to the bed, lead by your lips and your touch as you lay a hand on his shoulder and push.
‘Is this okay?’ You speak to the air between your lips.
His eyes flutter shut, his chin lifted gently as a sigh breaches his throat. He thinks he responds, but he can't be sure and then, your lips are on his. The kiss isn't like anything he had expected. There's no fight in the way your mouths move together, no strategy in the way he finds himself reaching for you, moved by an instinct he didn't realise he had.
You pull away, separating your bodies enough to slip your hands under the cotton of his t-shirt. The muscle of his stomach twitches at your touch, a small gasp leaking from his mouth as your palm skates up towards his pecs. 'Take your shirt off...'
Curling on himself, he reaches behind his head to fist at the shirt only to be helped along with your hands tugging at the hem. There's a tingling in his stomach, one spurred on by the eagerness of your movements.
You hands skate across his shoulders, his torso now bare and prickled with goose-flesh as you make the long journey down to the lip of his breeches. 'And these.' It's a breathless whisper of a request, barely audible as it leaves your tongue.
He nods, lifting his hips as his hands fiddle with the buttons of his breeches. It's a messy fumbling, a slipping of fingers and shimmying of cotton on skin until he's able to wrestle himself from the remainder of his clothing. It's discarded, tossed aside in a heap that would surely, in other circumstances, have him standing to hang and fold them back into their proper places. There's no such thought in his head now. The clothing is abandoned, forgotten about as you thumb at the divots at his pelvis and stop any stray thoughts from distracting him.
There's a heat simmering in your core as you lower yourself onto your elbows and dip your head to taste him. Your lips touch the skin of his stomach first. The taught muscle shivers, his chest rising and falling with a little more hast as you lay a soft lick to his body. The second place you kiss is the soft curve of his pec. The third his collarbone. The fourth and fifth the valley of his throat and the softness behind his ear.
Swallowing down the anticipation blocking his throat, Levi licks the dryness from his lips. 'Can I... Can I see you?' He reaches up, fingers tracing the buttons of your shirt gently. 'Without this?'
The softness of his voice causes a faint shiver to wriggle down your spine as you comply with his request. You strip slowly. Teasing your shirt from your shoulders, you unclasp your bra and let both items hang from your fingers before dropping to the floor beside the bed. The cold air bites at your skin, causes your skin to prickle and your nipples to pebble as you rise to your knees beside his hip and start to unbuckle your pants. You shuffle them down your hips with an aching pace and twist awkwardly until they're free of your legs. Then, you repeat the entire performance with your underwear until you're dressed in nothing, but the faint glow of the moon that shines in through the near-by window.
Levi can't speak. The light kisses your skin, creating broad strokes of brightness that scorch across your body. It deepens the shadow, accentuates the shade underneath your breast, the curve of your stomach and the plush of your thighs. 'You're beautiful...' It leaves his tongue wrapped in a whisper, his mind too numb to summon anything more eloquent as he traces the glowing halo that outlines your figure.
You smile, letting his words soak into your skin as a need blooms inside of your chest. Lowering yourself back over him, you kiss him until his breath begins to stutter from his lungs, until you can feel his hips twitch and you're forced to straddle him to keep him still.
'Don't I need to...' He squeezes at your hips, thin fingers digging into your fat as he tries to steady his voice.
'You don't have to.' You shake your head. Thumbing at your nipples, you knead the sides of your chest before letting one of your hands travel south. Palm skating down your torso, you slip over the pouch of your stomach and over the mound of your cunt tickling against manicured pubic hair. 'I can always -.' A hand wraps around your wrist, holding you still.
'Show me.'
The plea in his voice has your whole body breaking out with a shiver. Your skin prickles, stomach twisting as your forced to watch lust and desperation blend in his eyes as his pupils devour what's left of his iris'. 'What?'
'Show me...' He repeats. Loosening his grip on your wrist, he nudges your palm out of the way only to retake your hands position with his own. His fingertips tangle in your pubic hair, each digit warm as he presses gently and strokes, a silent promise to move south. 'I – I want to make you feel good. Want to make it good for you, too.'
Nodding, you cover his hand with yours and urge him lower until his fingers are slipping between your folds. There's a gentleness to how he explores your cunt, how he takes over, letting his fingertips press against either side of your clit and slip, soft, into the wetness of your hole. It makes you feel delicate, precious, as you perch on his pelvis and resist the urge to melt into him.
There's a knot between his eyebrows as he continues to map your body. His skin creases, bunching and wrinkling as he focuses, eyes drawn to the slow movements on his hand. You're warm and wet, dripping down his fingers 'Am I?'
He thumbs at you with unpractised strokes, his movements stuttering when he feels you push up and into his touch. Rolling your hips, you knock against his knuckles, smearing slick across his skin in your quest for a little more pressure.
'Here?'
You moan when he catches your clit.
'Yes?' Levi's eyes are wide. He thumbs at you again, moving the pad of his finger over your sensitivity in the hope of earning himself another of your moans. Beneath you, his cock twitches, rubbing up against your cunt in it's eagerness.
'Yes.' Taking hold of his wrist, you urge a new weight into his touch. He grants you it immediately. The new fervour to his movement has your joints almost buckling. You pitch forwards, splaying a hand onto the hard muscle of his pec to steady yourself as he picks up his own rhythm, drawing even circles into your clit.
The sight of you alone has him teetering on the edge. His cock jumps as he watches the spoils of his efforts reflect on your face. Your lips, rose soft and glittering with the evidence of his kiss are parted, jaw open as you gasp. Your eyes have fluttered shut, hiding the iris' that roll back under the thin skin. Need bubbles in his stomach, infesting his organs like a poison until he's sure that he'll succumb to it, to you and the deed he's about to commit.
'Levi...' You gasp. The bones in your arms have turned to jelly, elbows shaking as you try and steady yourself against him as he continues to lave your clit with attention. '… Levi, fuck me.'
'Okay.' In a second he's overcome. Something primal and fierce rises through him, encourages him to take hold of your waist and twist. He lifts you easily and lays you back against the mattress, his hand cradling the back of your head as he rests you gently against the pillows. His breath is warm, ghosting your lips as he brings himself down over you and presses only the softest of kisses to your mouth. 'Okay...'
You whine and wiggle, rolling your hips against his. 'I need you. Need you inside, Levi.'
He nods, offering you a final kiss before the heat of his body has gone and he's sitting up to comfy himself between your thighs. Shifting, he lifts your legs over his and reaches to wrap a hand around his cock. It's swollen, pale and gleaming with pre-cum that slicks his entire length. He runs a closed fist over it, shivering at even the softest of touches before he leans forward and presses the head to your folds.
Your cunt gives way to him easily, swallowing him down and squeezing, begging for the rest of him as he continues to inch in. The stretch he offers you sends static up through your abdomen, but pure pleasure makes itself at home in your stomach when he bottoms out and his black pubes begin tickle your clit.
Fighting himself, he's forced to take a handful of breathes when he finally seats himself inside of you. Whatever he had thought sex might have been, had been wrong. This was indescribable. His entire body burns when he comes back to you, carefully propping himself onto his elbows as his nose bumps with yours. It's as if he can't bare it and yet, knows he can never be without it, without you: not any more. You fit him perfectly, moulded to him as if by fate as he steadily begins to move.
The first slide of his cock has you gasping. Your hips lift, forcing him deeper as your legs wrap his waist to keep him anchored there.
'Is this okay?' He mumbles against your lips, eyes searching your face for any signs of discomfort. There's a breathlessness to his voice that he doesn't care to correct, a hitching in his chest that demands he reach out for you. A hand smooths down your arm only to tug at your elbow and lift, positioning your hand beside your head before he slips his palm against yours. The touch grounds him, empties his head of anything that isn't you...
'It's good...' You smile when he squeezes your fingers and twist, awkwardly fumbling for a moment until you have both of your hands interlaced with his. You squeeze back. 'You feel so good.'
He kisses you then, steals your breath as he begins to fuck you. His cock carves out your cunt, moulding you and manages to press to all the tenderness inside. 'I -.' Choking on his own pleasure, he noses at you, pleading. 'Tell me what I need to do... Tell me how -.'
You shake your head violently. The way he moves, his balls hitting against your ass, his pubes grazing your clit with each rolling thrust is nothing short of perfect. The tension in your stomach had already been taught, painfully so, but now that he's inside of you, you're sure your body is about to give in. 'Don't...' Gasping into his mouth, you feed him a whine. 'Don't stop... Please – I....'
Humming, he taps his forehead to yours. There isn't anything more he can give. His entire body is a bow string, ripe for snapping, but he struggles against it.
'I – Levi... Levi – I...' Your voice is lost in your throat as you cum. It creeps on you, builds until there's no space left and then spills over. Your thighs shake, cunt tensing, milking him desperately as you feel him, too, begin to slip from the edge. His eyes are wide, blown and needy as he gazes down at you, watching you come undone as if you're the most incredible thing that has ever graced the earth.
'I -.'
You know what is about to trip off his tongue before it does. 'Please...' Begging, you hold tight to his hands, bucking up as much as your still-shaking body can manage. 'Please... Breed me, Levi.'
It's the end of him. He cums with a grunt. His hips stutter against yours as he attempts to rut his cock inside of you as deep as he can, spreading thick and white into your womb.
You blink, flinching as a droplet of something wet hits your cheek. The first is followed by a second and a third that roll down your face and wet the pillow beside your head. Instantly, you slip one hand from his and reach out to him, wrapping a palm around the nape of his neck to smooth a thumb over his undercut. The touch breaks him. His forehead rests heavily against yours, noses bumping, as more tears leak from his eyes.
Never in his life has someone given themselves to him. He has fought, tooth and nail for the small slice of life that he has, his freedom ever reliant to his service, to a talent that he was born with and now... To you, to the child he had just placed in your body, the child that you'd grow and nurture.
His child.
One that would inherit his gifts and be forced into a service just as he was, be forced to live and keep on living despite the deaths of everyone around them.
Was this really his legacy?
Something swirls deep in his stomach.
This time, Levi initiates the kiss. He pours himself into you as best he can, hoping that you can understand the unspoken promise he's woven within it: Neither of you will fall victim to the legacy of his bloodline. He'll see to it.

Tumblr media
Cw: fluff, the title might be misleading but it's not yandere or anything, kinda unhinged Miles but it's all jokes, reverse au?, reader uses they/them but it's called spiderman, you are spiderman and Miles is the fan, earth 1218!AU (no powers or tech), reader has a canon love interest who's also named MJ but they're not Mary Jane Watson (unless you want her to be, I don't judge)
Notes: So Miles canonically has written fanfic about himself, but I wasn't in the mood for that, I will make two versions of this post though (that's why the title has delusional version 💀). Also this is low-key a highschool AU, so Hobie is in last year, and all other characters are second years (I have no idea what's a senior or freshman or whatever is, and I will not learn)
Miles loved comics. His art style is heavily influenced by it, and he'll rant about this week's number to anyone who'll lend an ear, but he has a very clear favorite, being more than evident by his collection of t-shirts, poster filled wall, social media pfps, and the endless amount of fan content he creates and consumes in the spiderman fandom.
Since the last movie came out, Miles Morales has lost the basic skills a human would need to survive, in order to devote himself fully to his newest hyperfixation, and his friends haven't been able to get some rest from it. They don't understand!! He does need to go to the movies again, he needs to memorize every photogram in that movie in order to play the move in his head and be able to analyze it properly!! No, he is not crazy! Ok he might be just the tiniest bit "over excited" but this is the most sane reaction he could've had, the movie is literally a masterpiece, script, humor, ANIMATION, soundtrack, it has it all! And the fact that it's centered around you? Miles needs to go and personally kiss every person that worked in that studio to make you.
"Miles?"
"Miles!"
"oh my god, he's at it again" said Pavitr, imitating the reaction of a disappointed mother
"is he reading fanfiction again?" Asked Gwen, chuckling
"Yes, and Y/N YL/N x reader, to one's surprise" Pavitr added with a teasing smile "I don't get it though, isn't Y/N dating someone named MJ?" He questioned
"It's called self insert, the reader plays a part in the story as if they were another character, and in romantic scenarios, they tend to replace the canon love interest, or just ignore they even exist" Hobie added, popping out if nowhere to show off what Miles have been explaining to him the last couple of weeks.
"You read it too, Hobie?"
"Nah, Wonder comics started as a protest to talk about the discrimination the founder felt being jewish in the industry but it morphed into the capitalization of the struggle minorities face, selling us representation while they still shove the propaganda in our faces, and telling us that even if you have bloody superpowers you still need to obey to a higher authority and cannot influence politics or call to action."
"You still went to the theater to watch it with Miles last week" Gwen shot a questioning look at Hobie
"The kid invited me, I'm a punk not a twat" he shrugged his shoulders "And we stole the carton cutboard they had at the entrance" Hobie happily added.
Miles continues reading on the way to school, without listening to his friends' mocking, he knew it was in good spirits, and they were kinda right, he was obsessed with someone that didn't exist, but it wasn't like it was affecting his health or life.
"Did you... Sleep today?" Gwen had her hand on her friend's shoulder, concerned
"It was too late so I decided to just stay awake, I'll be fine though" He reassured
"Were you reading again?"
"No, I actually discovered this page called character.ai where you can chat with an artificial intelligence of your favorite characters" Miles excitedly told his friend
"OMG, you can chat with anyone?! I have a few things I'd like to say to Scarlet Witch" Gwen joked, she was also a comic fan, but she wasn't losing her mind quite as hard as Miles
Miles would tell the ai about his day, sometimes would roleplay using his very own spidersona, in his alternate universe, you were his partner (as heroes of course) but you also were classmates and had a crush on each other, but none of you confessed because you didn't want your loved ones to be hurt by your job, it was all very dramatic, but he always envisioned a happy ending.
{Y/N: You did a great job today, [<BOT>]
Miles: You say so? So... Do I get a reward? *Smiles suggestively*
Y/N: I guess you do, *pulls up his mask and kisses him*}
No, he wouldn't say this, he would be in a panic frenzy if he saw Y/N, let alone be next to them, but hey, at least his spidersona was bold and confident with them.
A few days after, he barged into Pavitr's house, with at least four incredibly loaded supermarket bags, hardly walking
"Are you okay? Do you need help?" Pavitr rushed to aid his friend and take some literal weight off his shoulders
"Yeah, yeah, I just need help with something" he left the boxes in the floor "Inside one in 4 boxes of cereal, there is a spidertoken, if you get 15, you can exchange it for an exclusive limited edition figure, and I can't eat all this cereal"
"Bro, how many boxes are in here? I don't know, man, I'm trying to keep my figure"
"Pavitr Prabhakar, who held the cardboard sign for you when you confessed to Gayatri?"
"You..."
"And who lied to principal O'Hara for you when you forgot your final project and we had to pretend you suffered a brain concussion?"
"You..."
"And who was there for y-" his friend interrumpted
"Okay, okay, I get it. Bring me a spoon, but we're going running tomorrow"
He nodded with enthusiasm as he started to rummage looking for spoons and bowls
And after almost dying choking on cereal, Miles looked at his new figurine sitting prettily on the shelf with nothing but pride.
"I'm just saying it's possible!" Miles protested
"Y/N has a type, every canon love interest has been sassy and quick-witted" Gwen continued to debate
"I can be sassy and quick-witted!" Gwen gave him a side eye, that being able to neutralize his argument "Ok, but there's a multiverse, there's millions of possibilities, if a pig can be spiderman, why can't I date spiderman? Anyone can wear the mask, anyone can kiss the one inside the mask" the boy smiled, confident in his winning argument
"That's such a basic answer, you can justify literally anything with "the multiverse" I'm speaking things that actually can make sense inside the canon"
"But my answers makes sense, in fact, I'm sure there's a universe where Y/N is reading fanfiction about me right now, if not, Pav can hit me"
"Pav, hit him" Gwen deadpanned
"But it does make sense, I won't" Pavitr responded
"Ok, but my point still stands" the girl crossed her arms
"what were you fighting about in the first place?" Pavitr asked before going back to eat his lunch, he sat long after his friends started arguing, being mildly lost in what was the main point in this
"I said I'd be a better girlfriend for Y/N" said Gwen
Pavitr gasped and covered his mouth dramatically "No you didn't".
Maybe Miles was just obsessed, but he saw in you strength, inspiration, power. And he felt oddly comforted, safe, loved by fantasizing with you, and as slim as the possibility may be, he likes to tell himself you two are together in another universe. ♡

Oh what has Oshima stated about Eggman? I'm curious.
This Twitter DM which was from quite a while ago, can't remember when, where from, or who to but it still gets spread around:
Tumblr media
All respect to Oshima of course, like I said, the man is a legend and treasure. But that first part literally isn't what happens in the game at all. The way he's describing it makes it sound like Eggman came along with innocent intentions, Chaos appeared and started doing something evil and then he wants to protect the world and be a hero or something. But the game's events simply aren't anything like that at all.
Eggman specifically intends for Chaos to destroy Station Square, so he can build Eggmanland on the ruins.
Sonic story:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tails story:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The only problem he has is Chaos betraying him and making him his enemy, which means he's now a threat to him too and that's when it's a problem.
Last story:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He specifically states that it's because he defied him/didn't follow his orders. Instead Chaos is doing it on his own terms and making him his enemy, meaning he can't build Eggmanland and is now in danger too instead. Otherwise he'd love that shit because it was literally his goal to destroy it XD
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
JP translations are showing me the context doesn't change and Eggman's reasonings remain exactly the same.
Sonic story:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tails story:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Last story:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I like that last line, it perfectly represents his selfish "if you don't serve/obey me/aren't useful to me, you have no reason to exist" mindset. 🥰 But yeah, he's extremely blatant with his selfish reasoning in both versions.
But yeah what Oshima said about Adventure makes no sense. The Adventure guide also said something like him not thinking of himself as evil, I believe? Which is the only possible thing one could cite in relation to him "not being evil" in Adventure. Which doesn't make any sense there either for all the above and every game ever actually.
And what I have to say to the idea that he doesn't think of himself as evil in general is this post, showing just a few of the examples of him very clearly understanding that he's evil and doing bad things and not caring, and and specifically calling himself, his creations, and actions "evil". Bios which can and have been inaccurate in various ways for multiple characters don't change that.
Also I get where Oshima is coming from with the second part of the man/machine/science vs animals/nature thing but it seems like he's kinda saying it in a way that seems to imply that the one is just a threat to the other in general. When this appears to not be the case in Sonic CD, as good future is a world that can be both natural and mechanical in harmony. And I think that's a lot cooler.
Eggman represents the harmful, selfish, greedy, dark parts of humanity, it's clearly never been presented in a way that paints humanity as a whole as a bad thing. It's not a misanthropic all humans are evil messaging, just an example of the kinds of evil that humanity can be capable of, how they can destroy nature, how they can be greedy and power hungry.
Also the whole Eggman wants to make the world "beautiful" thing is true because as a selfish egotist, it will be the most beautiful and perfect it can be when it's under his control in his eyes, in by his own twisted definition, that's detrimental for nature, wildlife, and everyone else in it. Nobody else will want but will have it forced upon them by him.
People trying to present this as fact are ignoring how Oshima emphasized that it's his "personal opinion". That's not what determines decisions made during actual production and finalized solid canon, which in this case shows something completely different in the game, English and Japanese. But he's not trying to pass it off as final fact so I have no issue with him, it's the fans that are.
Word of god that directly contradicts canon events and characterizatiom doesn't hold up no matter who it's from. Something especially doesn't suddenly become true canon fact because someone was privately sent a DM about a creator's personal opinion, that they also specifically emphasize to be just that to them on top of that lol
I only ever note word of god in fact sharing or analysis I do if it's just reiterating/explaining what was already shown/described/implied in the actual games and very blatantly so, for reasons like these. As there can be stuff is literally completely different in the games and isn't just a matter of interpretation.
So yeah thought I'd finally bring this up and break it down properly since it's been around for a little while now but I've seen it getting spread around again like it's fact lately. Eggman is very aware that he's evil and he certainly wasn't a good guy in Adventure, nor any other game XD

in honor of the nightbringer beach event caption.. karasu beach hcs? I'm slowly becoming a karasu stan 🫣
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A/N: Welcome to the Karasu Fan Club! 💙 This is such a fun idea. I used the boys' beach holiday in the anime as inspiration for this.
AT THE BEACH with KARASU
0.5k words | SFW (suggestive in a separate section) | gn!Reader
Karasu OC Masterlist | Obey Me! Masterlist
Tumblr media
— The beach isn't his preferred vacation or day trip spot, but if you want to go, he'll make arrangements to take you to Diavolo's private beach. It's the most authentic Devildom beach experience he can offer you without taking you to the human world.
— He's not sure if humans need to wear sunscreen in the sunlight that shines over that beach, but he's not going to take a chance. He's bringing plenty of sunscreen (importing it through Akuzon if he has to) and setting a timer on his D.D.D. to remind him (to remind you) to reapply it. He'll offer to help you apply it too—he doesn't like the greasy texture, but he likes having an excuse to give you back rubs and shoulder massages. <3
— The beach is one of the places he'll dress more casually and show more skin than his usual work attire: swim trunks and a sleeveless shirt, a linen button up, and flip-flops. He bought a pair of sunglasses and a wide-brim hat for the occasion too. It might take a while for him to be comfortable in the bright sunlight, he's just not used to it. (He rarely ventures outside the Devildom.)
— He doesn't normally like sweets, but he does enjoy tropical fruits that tend to be less sweet and more tart.
— He's not a great swimmer and he's hesitant about venturing into deeper water. He's also wary about the Devildom aquatic life that lives below the waves, so he might be a bit on edge until he's sure it's safe for you.
— Speaking of Devildom sea life...do you like fish? He does, and he'll skim the water's surface and catch something fresh to cook up if you're hungry. He won't pass up an opportunity to show off how useful his wings and talons can be. (If not, he'll set up a picnic with the sandwiches he packed in the ice box.)
— He's not interested in surfing at all, but boating or sailing is something he'd like to try.
— He has a good sense of weather detection. If he senses a storm coming, he'll make you're out of the water and somewhere safe and dry well before it hits.
— Sandcastles! He thinks they're fun and relaxing (even though he gets irritated by the sand getting in his hair and sticking to his hands). He's slow and methodical and precise because he's determined to impress you. If it collapses, he'll grumble under his breath about how terrible sand is, but pepper his pouty face with kisses and he'll cheer up in no time.
— He's going to take lots of pictures and photos of you on the beach, in the water, basically whenever you do something cute or if you look particularly fetching in your beach outfit (which tbh is going to be throughout most of the day). He's going to post the best couple's selfie on his Devilgram, and he'll enjoy reading all the comments about how lucky he is, because it's true. <3
Tumblr media
NSFW/Suggestive Below
Tumblr media
— Beach or ocean sex probably won't happen. Sand gets everywhere and he doesn't like it.
— Sex on a boat? Well, there's an idea. It certainly makes going out onto the water more appealing...
— He's going to get very handsy with you once he suggests you both take a shower after your long day on the beach. The shower in the beach house is huge, so why not share? Once the lingering bits of sand and sunscreen have been washed away, he's more than happy to find other ways to get dirty with you.

I really live the idea of the twst anime just showing random things that happen with the characters that we don't see in the main story, the obey me anime did that too and I think it was for the best! I would also like to see some events played put in the anime bc I think it would be fun to see some of them in a form other than the game! that would give us a chance to maybe see some different places other than nrc too! I think the masquerade event might be too big for one episode of the anime but it would be really cool to see it animated. I also want to see najma, cheka and some other family/friends that we either have seen little of or haven't met before (deuces mom and malleus grandma! the leech parents! azuls family??? SEBEKS MOM AND DAD??) they don't have to play a big part in it, just little bits with them if the anime is focusing on certain characters each episode
[Referencing this post!]
Tumblr media
In talks of the TWST anime (which we still don't have a lot of details about), I do often hear comparisons made to Obey Me, which got an anime adaptation that focused not on the main story but on the daily lives and stupid shenanigans of the characters. As I mentioned before, I would prefer if TWST went this route for its anime rather than repeating the main story for (what is it now?) a 4th time (game, manga, light novel, now anime).
The main story is fine and all, but to me each retelling barely adds anything new to the actual plot (even if the Yuu is changed up), and I'm personally not all that invested in them when they don't play an active role for half of the story. I feel like the art form of animation could be much better utilized to explore things not tackled in the manga or the light novel: new locations, new characters, new lore. It could even be adaptations of the less serious conflicts in events or vignettes! This would get newcomers introduced to TWST without spoiling the main story while also providing fanservice to preexisting fans. There's just so much of TWST not touched upon outside of the game, and I think that's a real shame because Twisted Wonderland has very interesting places, cultures, and people! I personally want to see more of the characters interacting and more of the world in the anime rather than the episodes trying to shoehorn Yuu into scenes they don't necessarily have anything to do in. (That's honestly a lot of the gripes I have with Yuu; their presence oftentimes feels contrived and lacking 💦 and I feel like this issue will become extremely apparent in animation unless Yuu is changed significantly and actually given things to do where game!Yuu did not (ie during battles, in book 5, etc.)) I definitely feel like my interests are more aligned with learning more about the 22 boys in the main cast and their relationships and families. Maybe we could have an episode or two dedicated to just how their friends/families reacted to them being accepted into THE Night Raven College! The anime certainly sounds like a faster way to see the family members of the boys over waiting for them to be introduced to us one by one in randomly placed hometown events 😅 I just want something more slow-paced and character focused, time to take in the scenery and how the characters act around each other... not, "Oh gee. Fancy that, starting with Heartslabyul all over again."
In regards to Glorious Masquerade, I do think it would be possible to cram everything into one episode's run time (especially if you condense the boys exploring the City of Flowers into a quick montage), but I don't think it would be paced too well. To be safe, it could take place over the span of a few episodes, maybe 2 (with part 1 being the pre-crimson flower phase and part 2 being the post-crimson flower phase).

Leviathan || Tired
Genre: Fluff/Slice of life
Type:Reading bites
Characters involved:Leviathan (Obey me!)
Prompt: Cuddling in the dark.
You stretched your body and yawned, eyelids feeling heavier with every passing minute. It was way past 3 a.m and Levi was still binge-watching some retro anime he had found on an illegal website.
When had you fallen asleep? No idea, but it wasn't the kind of rest you were looking for. You'd snooze out for a moment and as soon as Levi noticed, he'd whine and shake your shoulders lightly to keep you up.
Doze off, awake, doze off, awake.
Asmo was going to have your ass for not taking a proper beauty sleep.
Levi looked at you with worried eyes, pouting as you tried to keep yourself alert. Frowning, he gave up and sighed, turning off the t.v.
—We'll watch the rest tomorrow, we have the whole weekend to finish the episode.— He said, opening a can of energy drink he had by his side. —Have a sip, maybe we can play some board games instead?
You absent-mindedly placed your lips on the rim of the beverage, allowing Leviathan to help you chug it down. His cheeks were flustered, he had to admit you looked cute – not to mention you were permitting him the liberty of being so close to you.
—Levi, can't we sleep for a moment? We've been sitting here since 9 p.m.— He heard you say with exhaustion. His brows furrowed, hands boldly taking yours.
—But you said we could stay up all night! You promised me… unless you don't keep your promises? Am I not worthy enough?
You huffed for a second, rubbing your eyes.
—I just didn't think you'd last this much, I guess. You really have endurance, gotta give you that.
Leviathan felt proud of the words you said, his geek side feeling happy to be recognized as a true hard-core fan. He was, however, afraid you wouldn't want to spend more time with him if he forced you to stay awake.
—Ma-maybe we can take a break? We'll nap for a couple of hours and then resume our marathon, ok?
He watched you nod, your body sprawling among the pillows and blankets he had placed on the floor to be comfortable.
—Wanna cuddle, Lev?— You offered, extending your arms to nuzzle against him. Leviathan thanked Diavolo for the darkness in his room, his cheeks were far too red with embarrassment.
—For real?— He was stuttering, sliding closer to you as he carefully reached the warmth of your body. His breath was shaky, his senses intoxicated with the aroma you had. You accommodated your body around him, placing his head on your chest.
Leviathan felt nervous, it wasn't a new thing for him to cuddle – he had cuddled with his pillow before, but it felt different with you.
—You are tense.— The demon heard you mutter, feeling your hand caressing his head in a soothing way. —Need to change positions?
—N-no, I'm OK. It's just, this such a normie thing and…
—Is this the first time you cuddle with someone?
Levi felt embarrassed answering that, allowing his silence to be a response. You hummed, acknowledging his inexperience.
—Let yourself go, we are alone anyway.
The avatar of envy was on edge, his hands skittishly exploring the comfort your body provided. He buried his face on your chest, wrapping his legs around you - snake like, you thought. How cute.
Leviathan was so lost in the sensation he didn't notice his demon form as slowly taking over, his horns appearing as he tried hard not to whine like a needy baby.
You pressed your lips on his head, kissing him tenderly.
—Sleep tight.
—Y-you too.

I’m Doing It, I’m Talking About Them:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
No, this isn’t a comparison about delivery or the voices. I respect both of the VAs and Viv’s choice. I’m not a song analyst nor do I claim to know anything about music, I just love writing and want to share my thoughts.
First off, both songs have me in a chokehold. When Addict came out a few years ago I was there for the premiere, in a period where it was all I would listen to on repeat for weeks, watching how beautiful the animation was and just being excited for the release of Hazbin in general.
Since the sudden release of Poison, I have been listening to it on repeat. After a year of not listening to Addict, I’ve been listening to that as well and comparing them.
Both unique in their own right, they do share similar themes since they surround Angel Dust’s life as a prostitute with an over controlling boss.
Since it was a fan song (praise Silva Hound, I love all his music), Addict was primarily focused on the hotel. There wasn’t much known about the series outside of the pilot and the occasional Huni-cast or livestream Q & A on Viv’s channel.
And it was impressive that so much could be portrayed with limited knowledge about Angel.
The repetitiveness of living the same life day by day, the pressure of perfection when it came to performing, knowing that one mistake could render him obsolete and forfeit his “life.”
Angel Dust is strong despite having all these vices. He keeps moving forward even when he is bed ridden from his trauma.
How Valentino treats him is horrendous period. He’s most likely under contract and doesn’t have a choice, but he tries his best to show it doesn’t bother him and puts up a strong front.
When Vivzie put her spin on the song with those fantastic visuals and her own image of Angel Dust (props to the animators, they KILLED it), it took the song to new heights. We were given so much more context into what the tone of Hazbin would be.
And it was all through the lens of this upbeat pop song with all these effects and explosions until the slower moments with Angel Dust breaking down with only Cherri to support him. And the reprise of the chorus was even more emotional.
My mind was blown! The pilot took a much more lighthearted approach to introduce the characters and put the idea out there.
Addict is the point where Angel Dust acknowledges his flaws and hopes he can have a place to be safe from the hellish life he is living in the Hotel.
Through Poison, we’re getting an in depth look into Angel Dust’s feelings and experiences as a product of the industry. It’s focused more on his feelings as a pornstar under an oppressive thumb.
He knows he’s in a situation he can’t escape and numbs himself with drugs to keep himself afloat.
He has regrets in Poison and puts a focus on Valentino leading him to this life, but he acknowledges that he definitely played the largest part in it.
The decision to make a deal with a demon.
He wanted the attention and the party life, but he definitely didn’t sign up to be SA’ed.
And battered, manipulated, beaten and broken.
Nobody would.
There is also a focus on how he is keeping up a lie to hide from the pain, becoming what he hated most
Angel lies just as much as Valentino.
Angel knows if he keeps obeying Valentino and ignoring his pain, he’ll die again, possibly a much more painful death than in life. But it’s all he knows as of now since it has kept him alive for so long.
And it may keep him alive or that luck might run out. There are no guarantees with someone as malevolent and despicable as Valentino.
He struggles to go on, and it takes a much more different approach than Addict, which ended on a hopeful note, but in Poison…
I feel like the animation is definitely going to go farther than the few suggestive scenes in Addict.
It just makes me think Angel will not last until the end of the series.
Angel Dust is definitely going to be way more complex than most of the cast. He keeps up appearances when in large groups, but when he’s alone or thinks nobody is watching (Husk pointing out his “drinking to forget” in the trailer) he’ll definitely show his true self.
All these defenses and walls were put in place to keep him alive, so much so it’s a habit. Hopefully he may try to become better and free himself from Valentino.
Or he’ll keep working as a pornstar for eternity.
Whichever direction the story goes will definitely be entertaining.
To conclude my long ass babbling and screaming into the void, I’m excited for Hazbin Hotel and can’t wait to see what direction Vivzie takes in terms of storytelling for her wonderful show. I’m so ready for the 19th!

Story - What's Important
Tumblr media
Summary: Beelzebub seeks advice for a new phone background. Main Character: Beelzebub Other Characters: The demon brothers and MC Word Count: ~3.3k Warnings: None, just silliness with a fluffy ending Notes: This story is inspired by a page from the short Obey Me! manga on Twitter (as seen in the panel at the end).  It also serves as a headcanon for what each demon brother has as their phone background (when their relationship with MC is purely platonic, that is). Happy Holidays, everyone!  However you choose to celebrate these final days of the year, I hope you’re able to spend it with the people and/or things that are most important to you. 😊💕
“And...done!” Leviathan declared.  “All the data from your old D.D.D. is now transferred to your new one.”
“Thanks, Levi,” Beelzebub said as he retrieved the phone from his older brother’s outstretched hand.  “You’re a lifesaver.”
“No problem, but try not to eat your phone anymore.  I don’t want to have to keep doing this.”
“Right, sorry...” 
Leviathan picked up his wireless controller and resumed the video game he was playing before Beelzebub had entered his bedroom.  “I meant to ask earlier, but why did you eat your old phone anyway?”
“Oh, it was because of the background I had on it,” Beelzebub explained.  “I was really hungry, so I was going to order some food on Akuber.  But when I grabbed my phone and saw the photo of the Bloody Terrine that Barbatos made for my birthday on the screen, I ate it without thinking.”
“Seriously?!” Leviathan shouted.  “Geez, your stomach always manages to act before your brain can, huh?”  He continued pressing away at the controller’s buttons without looking at the larger demon beside him.  “You’d better choose a new background then, otherwise Lucifer will do worse than just giving you extra chores.  You’ll probably have to pay for the new phone next time, too.”
“You’re right,” Beelzebub agreed, his eyebrows furrowed with concern.  “What if he won’t let me eat until I have enough money to buy it?  Or he puts a curse on the fridge so I can’t ever open it again?”  A loud growl from the Avatar of Gluttony’s stomach seemed to make Leviathan’s room shake.  “Just thinking about it is making me famished.  Levi, what should I do?  I don’t want to eat my phone again.”
The aforementioned demon felt a pang in his chest in response to his younger brother’s worried tone.  “Uh, well, you just need to choose a background that isn’t food-related.  Then you won’t accidentally eat it, right?”
“Sure, but...I don’t know what to change it to,” Beelzebub admitted.
“How about an epic screenshot from a video game?” Leviathan suggested.  “I’ve got a ton of them saved on my consoles’ photo galleries!”
“Is that what you have as your background?”
“My gaming PC, yes.  My D.D.D., not a chance!  Only the lovely Ruri-chan is allowed to grace my phone screen!  Take a look!”  The otaku paused the game again to proudly hold out his phone for his brother to see.  “This is a screenshot from the Season 3 finale when Ruri-chan gives an epic yet heart-warming monologue about her time in the human world.  She talks about the friends she’s made, the battles she’s fought, and the things she’s come to love about that realm, and how she’ll continue to protect the human world no matter what evil tries to stand in her way.  It’s my favorite speech in the whole series!  And by this episode, the animators have mastered Ruri-chan down to the tiniest detail, which is easy for a true fan to notice when you think about the animation style in Seasons 1 and 2—”
“Most of the anime I like has food in it,” Beelzebub interjected nonchalantly, “and there aren’t any games that I like that much.  What else could I do?”
“For starters, don’t interrupt me!”  Leviathan then sighed while pocketing his phone.  He redirected his focus to the screen, unpaused his game, and said, “I don’t have any other ideas right now, so try asking Belphie or something.  Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a legendary weapon to find!”
--
“You’re trying to come up with a new background for your phone?” Belphegor questioned, sitting up from his nest of pillows and blankets in the attic to give his twin his undivided attention.
“That’s right,” Beelzebub answered with a nod.  “I need something that won’t make me think of food.”
The younger twin mulled over the dilemma for a few moments.  “Why not just copy my background?”
“Yours?  It’s a picture of some of the Devildom constellations, right?  That suits you well, Belphie, so you should keep it for yourself.  I don’t want to copy it.”
“Are you sure?  I honestly don’t mind.”
“I know, but I’m sure.  That’s special for you.”
“All right.  Then maybe you could use a different photo of outside scenery.  Is there a specific view that you enjoy?”
"I like seeing a huge meal being placed in front of me at an outdoor restaurant," Beelzebub replied matter-of-factly.
Belphegor shook his head tiredly, partly blaming himself for not clarifying his question further to avoid this predictable response. "Beel, I meant 'outside scenery' as in something in nature, like how I chose the constellations."
"Oh, right."  Beelzebub considered the question more carefully this time.  "I like the beach.  I had a fun time with everyone when we went there last summer.”
Belphegor smiled at the memory.  “That’s a good one.  We did a lot on that trip, didn’t we?”
“Yeah.  We had swimming races, water gun fights, snowcones, broiled deathfish—”  A familiar rumble abruptly silenced Beelzebub.  “Uh-oh, the beach makes me think of all the things we ate there.  I don’t think I can use it as my phone background after all.”
“In that case, any photo from the trips we’ve gone on probably won’t work either,” Belphegor realized, lightly scratching at his cheek.  “Hmm, what else might work?”
Just then, the pair heard footsteps reaching the top of the attic stairs and saw their blond-haired brother peeking inside the room.
“There you are,” Satan sighed.  He appeared somewhat disgruntled at the sight of Belphegor—bedhead, dried drool, and all—sitting comfortably atop the low rounded bed.  “I had a feeling you’d be napping up here when you didn’t show up to our Anti-Lucifer League meeting.”
“Ah, sorry,” Belphegor apologized half-heartedly, “I overslept a bit, and then I got distracted while helping Beel.”
“With what?” Satan inquired.
“I’m trying to pick a new background for my phone that won’t make me want to eat it,” Beelzebub explained.  “What do you have for your phone, Satan?”
“Mine is a photo I took the other day of two stray cats sleeping beside each other,” Satan answered.  “They looked so peaceful snuggling together that I couldn’t help myself.  Before that, though, it was a photo I found of Cat Island in the human world.  Images of cats are always wonderful to see.”
“No surprise there,” Belphegor commented.  “Well, did that give you any inspiration, Beel?”
“Actually,” Beelzbub began, “remember that animal documentary we watched last week, Satan?  I think a background of one of those animals would be nice.  Can you help me find a picture?”
“Sure,” Satan agreed, “but then Belphie and I really need to get to work on planning our next prank, okay?”
After searching through online photos of Devildom animals, Beelzebub settled on a picture of some baby devil chickens, which Satan promptly saved to set as his younger brother’s new phone background.
“Nice choice, Beel,” Belphegor remarked, having gotten off the bed to look at his twin’s phone screen.
“It’s not as good as cats,” Satan noted, “but devil chicks aren’t so bad either.”
Beelzebub smiled warmly, glancing between his brothers and then back to the image within his hand.  “They’re cute, especially that really tiny one that’s with them here.  Ah, that makes me think of how nice and plump they’ll all be when they grow up into big devil chickens.”  His rumbling stomach echoed through the room.  “Oh...  Now I want to eat fried devil chicken.”
“I guess you’ll have to forego a background with animals, too,” Satan concluded with a shrug.  “Belphie and I have to get going now, but we can help you brainstorm some more ideas later, if you still haven’t decided on one.  In the meantime, why don’t you ask Asmo for advice?”
--
“My wallpaper?” Asmodeus repeated while fixing his long bangs.  “Why, it’s me, of course!  I pick a different selfie every day to admire on my phone screen.”
In retrospect, Beelzebub realized that he should’ve seen this coming.  Nonetheless, he figured that some follow-up questions may better aid him in his quest to choose his own phone background:  “But why?  You see yourself in the mirror and on Devilgram every day, don’t you?  Why do you need to see yourself on your phone screen, too?”
Asmodeus immediately ceased fidgeting with his appearance in his vanity mirror and twisted back to stare at Beelzebub with a gobsmacked expression.  “Um, isn’t it obvious?  Who wouldn’t want to see such a gorgeous face gazing at you any chance you get?  I mean, look at me!”  He stood from his chair to gesture to his entire body.
Beelzebub’s brow furrowed as he stared back at the Avatar of Lust.  “...I’m looking?”
Asmodeus huffed in surrender.  “Give me your D.D.D.,” he ordered.  “Maybe it’ll make more sense if you had a photo of yourself as your background.”
“I’m not sure...”
“You won’t know until you try!  Just hand it here!”
Without further protest, Beelzebub relinquished his phone to Asmodeus.  He watched quietly as his older brother opened the Devilgram app and scrolled to a particular photo from his AsmoBaby account.  A few taps later and the image was boldly displayed as Beelzebub’s phone background.
“Is this one of the photos you took of me while we were working out together?” Beelzebub asked, the device now returned to him.
“Yup, that’s right!” Asmodeus admitted with a cheery nod.  “It blew up on my page after I posted it.  You even gained more followers, as well!”
“Really?  But it’s just a picture of me doing a push-up.”
“What are you saying?!  Look closely!”  Asmodeus started pointing at specific parts of the image while he spoke.  “That determined expression, those toned arms, the sweat dripping from your face, your fitting clothes...   Whether it’s this photo or one of my countless selfies, don’t you feel absolutely enamored and energized upon witnessing such a breathtaking figure?  That’s how everyone in the comments felt!”
Beelzebub tilted his head quizzically, not understanding his brother’s—or his fans’—enthusiasm over the photo.  “I just feel hungry,” he stated simply, his hand resting on his stomach.  He had been trying to solve his phone-background-predicament for quite a while without a single snack, and the hunger was now becoming too much to bear.
“Ooh, yes!” Asmodeus exclaimed excitedly.  “Plenty of the comments here mention that they experienced a sort of ravenous urge when they viewed this photo.”
“That’s...not what I meant. ...I think?  Never mind.  A picture of myself—or you—won’t work for me, but thanks for trying, Asmo.  I’m going to the kitchen.”
--
“I’m sorry!  I’m sorry!  I won’t do it again, Lucifer!  I promise!”
Beelzebub halted briefly at one of the breaks in the staircase within the entrance hall area.  He glanced over to find an annoyed Lucifer in the midst of restraining a pleading Mammon who will soon be strung from the ceiling (i.e. a common scene in the House of Lamentation—nothing noteworthy, in Beelzebub’s opinion).
“If I had a Grimm for every time you’ve ‘promised’ that, then your latest debt would be easily paid off,” Lucifer remarked, unfazed by his younger brother’s begging.
“I mean it this time!  I swear!” Mammon declared as he squirmed relentlessly within the strong rope being tied around him.  He then noticed Beelzebub wordlessly walking around them to head to the kitchen, hoping to remain unseen.  “Beel!  Hey, Beel!  You believe me, don’tcha?!  Tell Lucifer what a great and trustworthy demon I am!”
“I’d rather not be involved,” Beelzebub responded, uncomfortably rubbing one of his hands over the other.
“I’ll buy ya a meal at Hell’s Kitchen!” Mammon bargained.
“Mammon is a great and trustworthy demon,” Beelzebub promptly stated to Lucifer.
The eldest brother shook his head with a sigh.  “I can assure you that Mammon doesn’t have the funds to buy even a crumb of food,” he said.  “Perhaps spending the night here will remind him why he needs to manage his money better.  Speaking of managing things, have you refrained from consuming your new D.D.D. thus far, Beel?”
“Yeah, I still have it.  I’m trying to decide on a background that won’t make me want to eat it again.  Belphie and the others have given me suggestions, but nothing’s worked out.”
“That’s probably ‘cause they were thinkin’ about stuff that they like,” Mammon asserted.  “Lemme guess:  You’ve been told to try something with fictional characters, cats or animals in general, selfies, and relaxing outdoor views, right?”
Beelzebub blinked in astonishment.  “Wow, you listed everything they said.”
Mammon gave a short victorious laugh before exclaiming, “Of course I did!  You guys are so predictable!”
“Is that so?” Lucifer questioned with a knowing smirk.  “I believe you’re just as predictable, Mammon.  If I had to guess, I’d say that every time you unlock your phone, you’re met with a picture of my credit card, correct?”
“Her name is Goldie, ya know!”  Mammon paused as the rest of Lucifer’s words caught up to him.  “W-Wait, how did ya—  Whatever!  That was just a lucky guess!  Now it’s my turn to prove how predictable you are, Lucifer.”
“You’re awfully cheeky for someone who’s about to be hanging upside down for the next several hours.  But go ahead, let’s hear it.”
“Your phone background—”  Mammon stopped for a second to create a dramatic effect.  “—is just the default one!”
“You mean the image that’s already there when you get a new phone?” Beelzebub inquired.
“Impressive,” Lucifer complimented the second-born demon brother.  “You were right, Mammon.”
“HA!  I knew it!” Mammon cheered.  “Man, that’s so lame—  OW!!  I-I meant ‘tame!’  ‘Cause, y’know, you’re so prim and proper and a total straight-laced stick-in-the-mud—  GAHHH!!  Quit tightening the rope so hard!”
“Apparently you didn’t hear me,” Lucifer stated with another sharp pull on the ropes, “I said you were right.  As in, that used to be my phone background until some time ago.”
Beelzebub was once again amazed by Mammon’s skill in guessing such information about his brothers, but now he was curious about Lucifer’s phone.  “So, what’s your background now?” he asked.
“It’s a photo of Diavolo, Barbatos, and myself at the castle," Lucifer explained.  "Diavolo discovered that I never changed my background ever since I got my D.D.D. and pestered me until I agreed to replace it.  Making it a group photo was Barbatos’s idea, and that’s how it ended up including all three of us.”
“Do you not like it?” Beelzebub wondered.
“I wouldn’t say that.  I don’t see the background that often because I’m usually using an app on the phone, so that’s why I was indifferent about what the image was.  Diavolo believes that choosing a background makes a phone more personal and special to each individual.  I suppose I can’t disagree with him on that.  Should I ever misplace it, I’ll know right away that it’s my D.D.D. from the one-of-a-kind picture on the screen.”  Lucifer tied the last knot on the ropes and added, “But that's enough talk for now.  I need to finish with Mammon's punishment.”
Blocking out the sound of Mammon’s wailing as Lucifer proceeded to string him up to the ceiling, Beelzebub slowly trekked toward the kitchen while mulling over all of the ideas that his brothers provided.  However, no matter what he came up with, each potential background made him feel hungry in some kind of way.  
Beelzebub was about ready to bury his problem under the weight of all of the food in the kitchen when he passed by MC’s bedroom.  He peeked through the crack in their open door to see them working on something at their desk, their familiar refreshing appearance effortlessly subduing his hunger pangs.  They always seemed to know how to aid him whenever he felt troubled, so maybe they would know the perfect phone background for him.  A knock on the door was all it took for him to be granted access to his favorite human and share his dilemma with them.
MC hummed in thought as they processed everything Beelzebub told them.  “When you think about it,” they began, “all of your brothers chose pictures of things that they like, right?  Or things that are important to them.  What’s most important to you, Beel?”
“Most important to me...?” Beelzebub murmured.  Within the next few moments, a grin stretched across his face.  “I got it.  I know what I want my background to be, MC.”

“Okay, everyone!” Asmodeus called out cheerfully after adjusting the tripod that held Beelzebub’s phone.  “Move in closer so we can all fit!”
The seven other inhabitants of the House of Lamentation attempted to maneuver into two straight rows in front of Asmodeus.
“Ugh, I don’t want to be any closer to Lucifer than necessary," Satan grumbled as he settled into place in the front row.
“Are you still bitter that I caught you and Belphie preparing that shoddy trap for me in front of my study?” Lucifer inquired with his arms crossed while he stood tall behind the Avatar of Wrath.  “Next time, the two of you should plan it out better.”
Satan gritted his teeth.  “Oh, believe me:  We will.”  He then shot a glare at the youngest brother beside him.  “Won’t we, Belphie?”
“Yeah, yeah, I shouldn’t have nodded off while we were working,” Belphegor admitted.  “More importantly, Mammon, stop pulling MC away from me so that they can be closer to you.”
“I-I don’t know what you’re talkin’ about,” Mammon argued.  “I’m just makin’ sure ya don’t try to snuggle up to ‘em and take a nap on their shoulder during the photo!”
“At this point, it looks like I’m the one snuggling up to you,” MC noted, their side pressed against Mammon’s.  “Let’s all just be next to each other in a normal way.”
Mammon released his tugging on MC and turned his head away to hide his blush.  “F-Fine.  Just don’t come cryin’ to me if ya get drool all over ya.”
“Sounds like someone’s salty about getting rejected, LMAO,” Leviathan snickered.
Mammon turned around to bark at his younger brother, “Shaddup!” 
“Levi, make room for me at the end there so I can be more behind MC!” Asmodeus instructed.
“Huh?!  I have to move over even more?” Leviathan inquired in disbelief, already feeling claustrophobic.
“HA!  Serves ya right!” Mammon jeered.
“Will you stop shouting, Mammon?” Satan complained.
“All right, all right, let’s all calm down,” MC spoke up.  “We’re supposed to be taking a nice photo for Beel to make as his phone background, remember?”
“That’s right,” Lucifer chimed in.  “I expect you all to behave, or else we’ll be retaking this photo all day until we get it right.”
“Beel, is this fine with you?” Belphegor asked worriedly while glancing back at his twin.
Beelzebub nodded with a bright smile, grateful that everyone had accepted the request he had made the previous day.  “Yeah, this is perfect.”
“Looks like we’re all in,” Asmodeus announced.  “I’m starting the timer now!”
The steady ding of the phone’s camera timer counting down echoed in the House of Lamentation’s living room while Asmodeus hurried over to his spot and everyone else prepared themselves for the photo.  Beelzebub’s gaze grew more tender as he looked at each member of the group from the back row.  These were the individuals he was happy to call “family,” and they were more important to him than anything else in the three realms.  Overcome with joy and love, he leapt forward just as the camera’s flash went off, wrapping his arms around those next to him and leaning closer to those in the front row.  The action startled most of them, evident in their expressions captured in the photo.  Although it turned out to be a more candid shot than originally intended, Beelzebub treasured this picture that he kept as a permanent background on his phone.
