A movie review of 2475, an animated patriotic film, Thailand
I would like to introduce myself before getting into the movie review of 2475. I am personally the leftist who support Thailand monarchy, because of their royal projects that help people with poverty to have occupations and stable income. I am not a historian so I wouldn’t give a comment in the presented part of the history. I could say only the animators together with the narrators could tell…

Hey Sam! Just a request - I've seen a lot of posts musing on how the Ides of March is now an extended Tumblr Festival. Which I find humorous because of the way the Romans described their days in the first place. However I am pretty terrible at explaining counting things (it's a brain deal), so could you expand on the ante diem and pridie countdown for the uninitiated, please?
Oh man Anon, you are asking me to grasp backwards twenty years for this knowledge :D
The Romans couldn't do anything the easy way, so their method of assigning dates in a month was what I would refer to as "real fucked up". Mind you, I'm sure if I grew up doing it, I'd be fine with it. Basically they marked certain phases of the moon (Kalends, Nona, and Ides) and counted down the days to each as a way of marking dates. I never mastered the exact timing of it all but there's a pretty good description here.
So instead of saying "March tenth" they'd say ante diem V Idus Martius or "Five days before the Ides of March". The day after the Ides was however-many-days until the Kalends, and so forth (et cetera!).
Pridie just refers to the day directly before one of the three, at least as far as I recall. So yesterday was ante diem II Idies Martius, but today would not be ante diem I ides Martius, it would be pridie ides Martius.
So like, Felices Pridie Ides Martius, happy Ides Eve. Don't forget to throw a note over the courtyard wall informing Brutus that the masses support him.
(Also not to be crass and capitalist but I wrote an erotic gay novella about the assassination of Julius Caesar if you guys like gay sex and descriptions of weird Roman food.)

The Contract
Diavolo: so then, I assume everyone is caught up on the rules of Extream Chessmaster: Sudden Death Edition, yes?
*everyone groans*
Diavolo: I'll take that as a resounding yes! Now then, as for the teams, Lucifer and I will be--
MC: hold it one second, mister! *pulls out a fancy slip of paper*
Diavolo: *clears throat* "And so, in the event that I, Lord Diavolo, current and acting prince of the Devildom, randomly proposes a game or event that threatens the continued health, longevity, and sanity of mortal life, hearby pronounce the human known as MC 100 free "Claim Lucifer" cards for their assured well-being, lack of death, and overall fair chance of competition." Huh. How curious.
Lucifer: how curious indeed.
Barbatos: that does look to be your handwriting, Young Master.
Lucifer: and your signature.
Diavolo: indeed they are. Though I'm not sure if I recall ever writing such a thing *smiles mischievously*
Mammon: oh, well isn't that convenient, then? Show em, MC!
MC: *pulls out tape recorder* *in Diavolo's voice* um, testing, testing. Is this thing working? *laughs* I always wanted to try that! Anyway, this recording acts as further verbal clarification that I, Lord Diavolo, current and active prince of the Devildom, did in fact write and sign the "Claim Lucifer" contract for MC under no threat of violence, lack of mental clarity, or under the influence of any substance. There, is that all? What do you mean there's more?
Diavolo: *pouts* well, that can't be fair.
MC: *fast forwards recording*
Mammon: I still don't know why you need Pridy McPrideface in the first place when ya got me, but fine! I, the GREAT Mammon, current and active Avatar of Greed and one of the seven lords of hell, blah, blah, blah, hearby announce myself as acting witness to the "Claim Lucifer" contract to avoid future denial and dismissal.
Satan: while I, Satan, Avatar of Wrath and one of the seven rulers of hell, act as signatory.
Belphegor: hm? Oh, right, what they said.
Beelzebub: and I'm also here.
Satan: now then, I need you all to sign here...and here...and here...Beel, stop drooling! And...done! There. The contract is now approved.
MC: thanks guys.
Mammon: *spats* yeah, whatever. You both owe me!
Diavolo: was all of this really necessary?
MC: *mumbles* considering how much of a brat you are, yes.
Diavolo: pardon?
MC: nothing!
Belphegor: trust us. The more grief Lucifer goes through the better. And there's no one Lucifer griefs over more than MC.
Satan: indeed. They're like a walking hazard sign. Surely he'll pass out from the stress alone.
MC: hey!
Satan: and so concludes our little meeting. Have fun...Lucifer.
MC: *ends recording*
Beelzebub: oh, yeah I remember that *drools* Those donuts were delicious.
Leviathan: so the Anti-Lucifer Leauge strikes again!
Asmodeus: leave it to Satan and Belphie.
Lucifer: *glares* Pridy McPrideface, was it?
Mammon: eek!
Barbatos: regardless, that is indeed the Young Master's voice.
Lucifer: it would seem so *frowns* Though I don't think I care that the entirety of my free will has been lessened to that of a slip of paper. Or how any of this is legal without my presence!
Mammon: eh, don't worry about it.
Asmodeus: 100 free "Claim Lucifer" slips, hm? There's no telling what one could do with those.
Leviathan: right? Imagine what would happen if they got into the wrong hands? Especially Asmo's?
Asmodeus: hey! I'm the sweetest and fairest capture you could ever have! My 100 step spa routine is to die for!
Leviathan: a 100 step spa routine? Sounds more like torture.
Diavolo: you are aware that I could just revoke all of this, yes? After all, I am a prince.
Lucifer: that would be appreciated, yes.
MC: true, you could. But then I'd never speak to you again. And can you really handle that? Can you?
Diavolo: preposterous.
MC: hm? What was that? I could've sworn I heard someone.
Diavolo: you wouldn't.
MC: ...
Diavolo: ...
MC: ...
Diavolo: ...Darn it! Lucifer, just...go.
Lucifer: *sighs and walks over to MC's side* honestly, I can't believe either of you.
MC: yay! I knew these would come in handy. Ready to win, buddy?
Lucifer: not particularly.
MC: aw, come on. It'll be fun.
Lucifer: hardly *smiles maliciously* Though not as fun as what I plan to do with one of my 100 free "Make MC Do As I Say For A Day" cards.
MC: ...I don't recall agreeing to those.
Lucifer: is that right? *pulls out a fancy slip of paper*
MC: "And so, in the event that I, MC, current and acting representative of the entire human race, use one of my 100 "Claim Lucifer" cards--" Oh, come on!
Belphegor: looks like Lucifer had this planned from the beginning. Typical.
Satan: even when he looses he wins. It's infuriating!
Mammon: hey! Just why the hell is he the only one with those cards, huh? Fork em over!
Leviathan: that's right! No monopolizing over MC. This is a democracy!
Asmodeus: yeah, what Levi said! I think.
Beelzebub: it's ok, MC. We can hang out whenever you want.
Belphegor: you're being way too nice about this, Beel.
MC: aw, thank you, Beel. You know, all of you could learn a thing or two from your younger brother. Frankly, I don't think I care that the entirety of my free will has been lessened to that of a slip of paper. I'm a human being not an item! And isn't that what matters most?
*silence*
Belphegor: ...no offense, Lord Diavolo, but I don't think I'm in the mood to play games anymore. Not that I ever was.
Satan: you're right, Belphie. In fact...Lord Diavolo, how would you like to negotiate a contract? Concerning MC, of course?
Diavolo: concerning MC, you say? Barbatos?
Barbatos: it would seem that your schedule is conveniently clear for today, Young Master.
Lucifer: how fortunate. As is mine.
MC: I don't like where this is going.
Mammon: eh, don't worry about it.
Asmodeus: ooh, ooh! I want 500 MC cards! No, one million!
Mammon: you're not thinking high enough! I want a quadrillion! Times 500 quadrillion!
Solomon, walking in with Luke and Simeon: hello everyone, sorry we're late, we--
Mammon: yeah, yeah, can't talk bye!
*everyone rushes out of the room*
Luke: uh, where is everyone going?
MC: to sign my life away.
Simeon: should we...be concerned about that?
MC: possibly.
Solomon: I suppose we should all try to stop them.
MC: YOU SUPPOSE?
Luke: can someone please tell me what's going on?
Simeon: we'll...tell you when you're older, Luke.
Luke: no fair! You always say that!

Thinking about small seasonal moments with the boys....
Watching a fireworks show with Simeon to celebrate the end of summer. The two of you sit on a grassy hill by the beachside, watching the popping flashes of brilliant lights against the darkened sky in awe. You're covered in glowsticks, bent and connected together to form a necklace, a wristband, and a halo of all different colours. Simeon matches you; the soft glow of the glowsticks against his skin causes the air to catch in your throat because fuck, he looks absolutely stunning.
Mammon curling up beside you, the two of you under a blanket on the sofa in his room, watching a horror movie in the middle of fall... He's terrified, but he wants to be strong for you- to show you he can protect you no matter what. He holds you so close, so tight, and he's warm and cozy compared to the cold evening air. His arms are strong, you can feel his tightened bicep as he nearly crushes you to death, but you feel so safe and loved.
Walking along a path covered in orange and red leaves in the human world with Satan, the two of you bundled up in warm clothes as you head to your destination. The air is cold, but refreshing, and it truly reminds you that fall is here. Of course, you can't help wanting to admire the gorgeous trees that line the path, and you can't help but try and step on the crunchy leaves with childlike glee- and Satan stands a little ahead of you, watching with a soft smile on his face as he's reminded of just how much he loves you.
Preparing for a Halloween-themed birthday party for Diavolo with Barbatos, preparing cupcakes and shaped chocolates and a large cake and so many other treats. Little gourmet chocolates shaped like ghosts on a stick, cupcakes decorated with icing spiderwebs and marshmellow googly eyes. The two of you are up well into the evening, laughing and enjoying yourselves under atmospheric flickering candelight, feeding eachother pieces of rejected snacks and extra bits that have fallen off.
Having a large feast with the brothers to celebrate the final harvest of the year in the human world; theres pumpkin pie, yam, cranberry sauce, turkey, ham, dinner rolls and so much more. As usual, everyone is making a fuss over this or that, it's loud and it's chaotic at times, but it feels just like home. Theres warm apple cider in your glass, and Lucifer gives you the softest smile you've ever seen from him- he's proud of the family he has, and he's proud to have you here as a part of it. He's happy to see the contentment on your face as you eat in silence, merely enjoying the atmosphere, the food, and the noisy demons you call home.
Taking Levi to play out in the snow during winter. He complains and stutters as you hold his hand, dragging him out the door after bundling him up in warm clothes. You drag him to a skating rink in the human world; you drink hot chocolate with him on the benches nearby as you watch the other skaters. You walk around your town together, hand in hand, admiring the lights and the festive decorations that have been hung for the holidays. The two of you head to a park and build a snowman, the activity lasting well into the evening as snow gently falls around you. Your laughter can be heard all over the park as you recreate Pridy McPrideFace in snowman-form, and Leviathan is happy you dragged him out of his room for once.
Spending the night before Christmas at the Demon Lord's Castle; you and Diavolo sipping on lovely homemade eggnog made by Barbatos for today and tomorrow's festivities as you talk late at night. Theres quiet snowfall outside, a cold draft leaking in through the nearby window thats just enough to remind you of winter, but the crackling fire infront of you and the prince keeps you warm. The two of you talk about everything and nothing at all, the night growing deeper until theres nothing left but embers in the fireplace and memories of a delicious drink in your cup. It's quiet for a few moments, and in that peaceful silence, you instinctively cuddle up into Diavolo for warmth and end up drifting off to sleep. Looking down at you, the prince feels his heart swell, and he can't help but place a kiss on the top of your head and take your hand in his own, holding it as he leans into you as well and opts to fall asleep on the couch with you. He silently vows to never see you hurt; to always protect you for as long as he lives. He wants to see your smile everyday, and wants to love you for the rest of time.
The two of you are found the next morning in the common room, infront of the christmas tree and illuminated by reflection of light off the pure-white snow just outside the window. You're both sleeping peacefully, enjoying eachother's warmth and touch. Barbatos drapes a blanket over the two of you, and for once the brothers remain a little quieter then usual as they exchange gifts, waiting patiently for the two of you to arouse from your sweet dreams.
Spending a quiet, calm night in the human world with Solomon; the two of you looking up at the stars twinkling in the darkened sky as you wait for the new year. Solomon takes your hand in his, and the moonlight reflects off his pale skin in a way that makes him look almost ethereal. The sight steals the breath from your lungs, and he only gives you a somewhat sly, yet somewhat soft smile as he meets your gaze. And as cheers erupt from all over the world, the sound of fireworks going off in the distance- he leans in and captures your lips with his own; he's warm and tastes sweet, and despite the cold his lips are soft and he kisses you with such adoration and love. He pulls away only to rest his forehead against yours so he can mumble promises of eternal love to you, of telling you just how much you mean to him, and telling you he's been waiting all his life to meet you.

All Characters' Reaction to MC Who Likes to Poke Them
Tumblr media
LUCIFER
He’s not having it when he’s busy.
Will frown and glare at you if you keep poking.
You think I’m scared of you, Mr Pridy McPrideface?
Just keep poking him, but make sure you poke him at longer intervals. Probably around 5 minutes before another poke?
That’s his reaction if he’s busy though but do it again when you two are cuddling.
“Beep!” you poked his cheek softly.
Lucifer will only look at you with wide eyes before cracking a smile.
“Why are you always so cute?”
Might give a kiss or two on your hand if he’s in the mood.
His pride does not permit him to poke you back, so you just have to keep being the one who pokes him.
Favourite place to be poked: Cheeks. But on some rare occasions, you can see him blushing when you booped his nose.
MAMMON
Confused at first, but lets you be.
If ya wanna keep touchin’ the Great Mammon, who’s him to stop ya? secretly likes it
Understands that you poke him to get his attention.
One time, he was rambling on and on about his gambling adventure. But once he felt a gentle poke on his arm, he stopped talking and paid attention to you.
Since you used this method on him, he’ll use it to grab your attention too.
Please expect yourself to be poked a lot because Mammon doesn’t like it if you’re not paying attention to him.
“Hey! Pay attention to me!” Mammon poked you several times on your cheek.
Please give him his well-deserved attention along with some head pats to soothe your first demon.
Favourite place to be poked: Cheeks and arms. Boop his nose too; he likes it very much.
LEVIATHAN
Blushy boy.
Very surprised when you first poked his arm.
The sudden contact between your finger and his flesh made him blush for about 10 minutes.
Please give him some space and time to calm down.
If you want to keep poking though, you need to announce it first so he didn’t scare himself.
“Levi, I’m gonna poke you on your cheek. Meep!”
Waaahhhh!!!! Why are you so cute?! THIS IS EXACTLY LIKE THAT ‘I Was Reincarnated To A Rock Kingdom Where My Job As The Babysitter Is To Poke The Rocks On The Garden But Then A Handsome Knight Came To Me And Said That I’ve Been Poking Them The Wrong Way And Now I Won’t Be Paid By The Royals! What Should I Do? Please Help Me!’ LIGHT NOVEL HE READ LAST NIGHT!
Secretly wants to poke you back but is very scared.
But with enough time and courage, you’ll find yourself getting poked by him too.
When that time comes, please give him your best smile and some head pats as a 'Good Job Well Done!’
Favourite place to be poked: Cheeks
SATAN
Hmm?
Really doesn’t mind at all.
You’re poking him while he’s reading? Okay, glad you’re enjoying yourself, MC
You’re poking him while he’s playing with cats? Aww, you want attention too? Maybe later, after he’s done playing with the cats.
You’re poking him while he’s eating? Umm… Okay…?
“MC, I’m glad you find it comfortable being with me, but I’m eating right now. So, maybe later?”
If you decide to poke him while meowing (because that’s what I do to my friends), you’ll find him blushing and demanding more pokes because he wants to hear your meows.
If he’s in a good mood, he’ll poke you back as a sign of affection.
Overall, the best reaction in the three realms. Tantan husband material
Favourite place to be poked: Arms
ASMODEUS
Actually likes it a lot.
His love language is physical touch and having you poke him gives him the message that you’re comfortable around him.
Will poke you back immediately.
“Do you like touching me that much, Darling?” he poked you on your cheeks.
Might turn into a cuddling session if you agree.
You can poke him anytime you want. He’ll gladly accept it.
Except, maybe when he’s applying his makeup or styling his hair.
Then, he’ll get pissed off.
Favourite place to be poked: Cheeks, arms, hands, palms. Boop his nose too, he thrives on it.
BEELZEBUB
Doesn’t mind 2.0
Will smile after you poked him.
Glad you’re feeling comfortable around him.
Actually wants to poke you back, but Belphie warns him not to.
With his strength, he might accidentally stab you with his finger.
And the poor guy does not want that.
But regardless, he will show his appreciation every time you poked him.
“Beep!” you ran towards him and poked his arms instinctively.
“Good morning, MC! Want some sandwich?”
If he’s in a good mood, he’ll give you a hug as a reply.
Favourite place to be poked: Arms and cheeks (if you can reach them, at least)
BELPHEGOR
Hated it at first.
You’re disturbing his sleep and for what, exactly?
But grows to like it very much.
Seeing your smile after you poked him makes him feel all tingly and warm on the inside.
Will not poke you back unless necessary.
“Hey. Hey MC. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey, listen to me. Hey MC, hey.” This demon surely knows how to play his card well.
“What is it, Belphie?”
“Nothing, just want to say that you look great focusing on your studies like this.” He gave you a cheeky smile before lying back down to continue his nap.
Maybe not so necessary…
But hey! At least the cow man’s happy :D
Favourite place to be poked: Cheeks. He also likes to be booped on the nose, so please do it often.
DIAVOLO
Loves it very much.
Poor lonely prince is very glad to know you’re comfortable with him.
He never gets treated like that because of his position, and seeing a powerless human like you poking him? He’ll gladly accept it.
Will want to poke you back.
It’s only fair that you get to know he’s comfortable around you too. Just as much as how you’re comfortable around him.
“Good day, MC.” Diavolo gave you a smile when he saw you approaching him.
“Meep!” you poked his arms as a reply.
He let out a hearty laugh, “Well, glad to know you’re doing fine.”
You’ll probably get lots of lectures from Lucifer when you touched Diavolo so recklessly, but the demon himself doesn’t mind, so please keep poking and give him your attention.
Favourite place to be poked: Cheeks, arms, chest
BARBATOS
Doesn’t mind 3.0
Only smiles when you poke him.
Will not poke you back, but will drop everything he’s doing to give you attention.
Except, maybe when he’s attending to Lord Diavolo.
“Apologies MC, but I’m in the middle of making some tea for Lord Diavolo. Maybe we can spend some time after this?”
But still, if you choose to keep poking him while he’s working, he might give you a kiss or two on your forehead to make you stop.
He’s a hard-working butler. If Diavolo didn’t notice your constant poking on Barbatos’s hands, he probably wouldn’t rest at all.
Favourite place to be poked: Cheeks and palms.
SIMEON
Doesn’t mind 4.0
Finds it amusing, even.
Will laugh and smile.
This angel is very honoured to know you like being around him.
Will definitely poke you back.
Likes to see your smile after he pokes you.
“Beep! You’ve been poked by moi.”
“Hello, MC,” Simeon poked you back on your arms, “How’re your classes for today?”
Now that he’s used to poking you as a sign of greetings, he found himself poking Luke next.
Favourite place to be poked: Arms, cheeks and also the palm. Also liked to be booped on the nose.
LUKE
Why are you treating me like a child, MC?!
Acts like he doesn’t like it.
But actually likes it a lot.
But still! Why are you treating him like a child??
This little angel is clever enough to get into college at such a young age.
So no, he’s not a child.
(Keep telling yourself that, Luke :D)
So just poke him. This little child secretly likes the attention.
Will accidentally poke you back if he’s too excited and in a very good mood.
He still doesn’t want to admit that he likes it though.
Favourite place to be poked: Cheeks
SOLOMON
Poking war.
The first time you poked him, he instantly grinned and ran to poke you back on your cheeks.
And so, you’ve been in a poking war with the sorcerer for about a few months now.
Lucifer and the brothers can’t catch a break every time Solomon comes to visit the House of Lamentation.
Because you two will run around the house for your war.
In truth, he actually likes them.
So please don’t forfeit or admit defeat or declare a truce.
Favourite place to be poked: Arms.

Spanish gunner’s water keg from San Josef, before 1797
This iron-bound oak water keg has a twisted iron suspension handle and, at one end, a brass plaque stating: ‘Spanish gunner’s water keg from San Josef, 1797 R.S. Pridie, Devonport, 1849.’
Launched in 1783, San José was a Spanish First-Rate carrying 114 guns. The ship was captured by Commodore Horatio Nelson on February 14th, 1797 at the Battle of Cape St. Vincent. Recommissioned into the Royal Navy, San Josef served as Nelson’s flagship in 1802. Eventually berthed at Devonport as guard ship to the Gunnery School, San Josef was broken up in May 1849 when this keg was secured as a souvenir.

"I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous"
-Lucifer
AHHHHHHHHHHH PRETTYBUSY IS WORKING REAL HARD. Also the wording is very funny cause he implies we whould inject him with "something" like an burning need for us and he does not want that (even if him desire us maybe it has something to do with his past) maybe he will be very pridiful with us and can come of as angry and not easy to aprouch do to his trauma

hii! could i request the demon bros (+ undateables if u can?) with an ugly MC? not that they're insecure they're just... unattractive. and fine with it, because they have other good qualities O_o thanks in advance!
Are all demons this rude?
Brothers x gn!reader
Warnings: none
Wasn't too clear with the req so I decided to turn it more into comfort/fluff haha
.
You were very much aware that you wren't the most good looking and to be honest, you didn't really care. You knew you were competent and you got things done, so who cares if you weren't the best looking person in the room? Your demon roommates certainly didn't. So what happens when they overhear some overzealous RAD students mouthing off about it?
Lucifer
The cold blooded Pridy McPrideface isn't one to be easily swayed by appearances. What he does find attractive however is the way you hold yourself. Confidence is always sexy and knowing you recognize all your worth and merits are unrelated to physical appearance is a good quality in his books.
You are well aware that people generally tend to gaze over you, so you made a conscious effort to prove yourself as a competent person. When you were first confronted with the 9 most powerful and influential demons in the Devildom, your need to prove your worth and meet their standards only grew.
Lucifer stands out to you as someone who is purely business, which you appreciate. As intimidating as he is, he only ever comments on your performance in class so as long as you pay attention to your work, you don't see yourself facing any of his judgement.
Now, Lucifer is aware that you, as the only human student, are bound to be heavily scrunitised by the majority of the demon population. He is also aware of how ruthless demon society can be, and as a result knows what the small groups of lesser demons are whispering about when you pass by.
Lucifer can't take direct action against the majority of them so he settles with dropping a few 'subtle' hints that he appreciates you and your genuine self
It's not like the pointless snickering behind your back ever bothered you but you have to admit it's pretty sweet of him
Now, it's one thing to let them get away with their mocking sneers, but the second one of them decides to take it a step too far... Attempting to physically harm the exchange student would be considered a direct challenge of Lord Diavolo's vision for the future and surely would be taken care of accordingly.
It's a safe assumption to say that he probably had something to do with the same trembling demon begging for your forgiveness the next day
Mammon
It's almost a surprise that for as incompetent as he may appear, Mammon is actually considered an attractive and charismatic demon. You might not have had the honour of witnessing his 'charm' firsthand, but it's clear he has a rep for a reason.
Congrats! You've reduced the second oldest brother to a simp! He finds literally anything you do attractive, so even if you were ever overly conscious about your appearance, you've got nothing to worry about. He's your biggest hype man, and tolerates absolutely none of the shit these lower ranked demons are giving you.
It frustrates him that you don’t care about it, that you have always shot down his suggestions to go teach them a lesson. Hell, he’s raring to get involved too! Screw being the bigger person, don’t you want to feel the instant gratification that comes with a right hook wiping those smug sneers from their faces?
This is why you’re getting strung up by Lucifer every other day
Anyways, he’ll listen to your pleas for peace when you convince him that you simply don’t value what they have to say about you, but the second they’re stupid enough to take it a step too far, don’t think the threat of Lucifer’s corporal punishment is gonna stop him from kicking some ass
He caught two of them trying to curse your textbooks one day and decided the only way they'd get their lesson is through his fists. Don't worry - Asmo saw too and he's more than happy to usher everyone away to let his older brother take care of the pests
Levi
This poor soul has been starved of touch and affection for the better part of the last century, do you think he cares what you look like? Not that it matters to you anyways… but the sentiment is appreciated. When you get closer it’ll be Levi seeking affirmation from you more often than not actually - please tell him it doesn’t matter if he’s a yucky otaku or not, he should still always love himself >:(
Lots of respect for you for not giving a damn about what others see as unattractive. He knows how it feels to be a social outcast, but he could never stop caring so damn much about what he could be or comparing himself to others (well it’s sort of his job to be jealous, but…)
So when he hears that some delusional classmates of yours have been bad mouthing you behind your back, he’s angry on your behalf. Why did they think it was funny to criticise you for something that did nothing to change your character or capabilities? They were clearly nothing more than cowardly scum that didn’t deserve the light of day.
Imagine their surprise when the tame third born gives them a pointed glare from across the hall. Even a shut-in like him saw nothing he’d ever be envious in them and would gladly make his disdain be known.
Dislikes confrontations and would rather not have to deal with the likes of them but do you really think a rag tag group of lesser demons have it in them to challenge the Grand Admiral of hell’s navy? Would gladly help one of his more eager brothers get away with teaching the trio a lesson.
Satan
He’s said on multiple occasions how he values intelligence and knowledge as much as he does raw power. When you first plopped down into the devildom he saw you as nothing more than a tool to get under Lucifer’s skin. Nothing more, nothing less. It was much easier to tag along when he witnessed just how competent you were, and as your presence slowly started to grow on him, he could admire how hard you worked, paying no attention at all to what anyone would whisper about your outer appearance.
He never really cared about the stupid and pointless gossip they spread about you. He finds it laughable how pathetic these demons are being. They see you, minding your own business and succeeding in your studies, and instead of trying to better themselves they choose to harass you, who they are jealous of, for only some misguided and momentary satisfaction.
You didn’t care either, since your sense of self worth had nothing to do with a stranger’s approval - and now, he can’t help having the same opinion as Lucifer on this but he finds that confidence hot. He doesn’t feel the need to acknowledge them either.
There are times where they get dangerously close to setting him off though - like when they try to take physical action. The leader of the group tried tripping you on the main staircase of the RAD campus and you could’ve sworn he was about to pull out a couple limbs in retaliation if you hadn't stepped out of the way in time. Luckily for everyone involved you only laughed at their attempt to embarrass you as you passed on by. 
Satan has his reputation as a composed gentleman to maintain, it’d be such a waste to throw it all away to get rid of such unrefined filth. That being said… it’s not like he’s gonna stop Mammon from roughing them up a lil, and it's not technically his responsibility to tell the profs that it was actually Belphie who framed them for cheating…
Asmo
Being good looking has always been a curse - take it from the avatar of Lust himself. Can you imagine all the hands that reach for him at the parties wanting him for anything other than his pretty face?
If he’s being honest, he too had once overlooked you simply because of your plain appearance. He was looking for something interesting in the new transfer student, and you definitely didn’t show anything worth remarking at first glance.
He feels terrible about his behaviour back then. He realises how incredibly hypocritical it was for him to lament about how superficial all the attention he ever got was when he also only judged you superficially
Now that he’s able to make amends, it’s really refreshing for him to spend time with you, who doesn’t care for outward appearances anywhere as much as he’d be able to imagine. You just naturally bond over your very very different yet kind of relatable circumstances, leading to the two of you confiding a lot in each other.
Now when it comes to these cute :) Little :) very uninformed group :) trying to feel better about their poor lives by snubbing you in the halls, he finds that pathetic. You clearly aren’t giving them the time of day and all they can do is giggle amongst themselves as you ignore their comments
Asmo decides to be as flippant as he can as he makes his way over to you, giving them a threatening smile as their eyes are naturally drawn to his approaching figure. They blanch, unable to do anything other than stand there in their stupor as he plans out exactly how he’ll make the three of them the laughing stock of the school. 
Who's to say that it was him who was responsible for those embarrassing devilgram posts to be recirculated, or the rumours that led to their eventual rejection from the rest of the student body?
Beel
Compliments and assurances all day round for everyone :). Make sure to give some back in return as well, Beel’s always been such a doll. The only thing he pays attention to when looking at your outward appearance is your health - make sure not to skip meals and get exercise daily! 
Happy for you knowing you’re comfortable with yourself exactly how you are. As long as you’re happy and healthy, who has the right to criticise how you live your life? Beel truly didn’t want to believe there really were some demons going around behind your back at school but here we are. 
I say this every time but Beel is such a sweet and pure guy. The thing is, his kindness really only extends to his brothers and you - he is one of the 7 demon lords of hell, and that's how the general public sees him. Not happy at all about what these lesser demons have been on about. It’s rare for you to see him with a frown on his face, but at school he doesn’t try to hide his displeasure with the group.
He confronts them eventually one day, blunt and in their faces. Not only is it uncomfortably awkward, but terrifying for them as well - there’s a reason a rumour about Beel eating lesser demons that got on his nerves exists. If they have a working head on their shoulders, they would stop.
Would offer to walk your around school everyday like he does with Belphie since he intimidates everyone enough to scare even the idea of trying to talk shit about you out of their skulls.
Might even talk to Lucifer about it because even if you say you don’t mind what others say about you, it can always go too far and when that happens, he can’t promise that he’ll be able to stop any of his brothers from tearing them apart.
Belphie 
He’s always been a brat himself so you wonder why he feels the need to confront you about the ‘bullies’ at RAD. Pretends not to care about it, just slipping in a casual question as you’re studying together. You truly don’t feel self conscious about your appearance and he knows it. What he wants to know about is how far they’ve taken the name calling, since you’ve admitted to feeling a bit bothered by their constant jeers. 
Y’know… physical appearances aren’t really that important to demons… do you even want to know what any of his brothers’ true forms look like? It’s not even comparable to what you humans see as ‘ugly’, so don’t expect any self respecting demon to judge that part of you. Clearly these demons don’t even deserve to be in the same room as you. 
Uses this as another excuse to cling to you even more. What if they were to hurt you this time? Surely letting him rest his head on your lap will warn them from getting too close. Don't worry about what others say, and he'll take care of them some way...
When you aren't looking, he's incredibly petty and mean. The trio finds themselves victims of every single prank you could think of. Thumbtacks left out on their seats and in their shoes, phantom appendages they always seem to trip on, buckets of used mop water strategically placed on top of doorways they pass through…
It doesn’t help the poor demons that Lucifer is supposedly turning a blind eye to the youngest brother’s antics… but that’s neither here nor there. Clearly, they brought this upon themselves.

I loved prague pride so much, it was so much fun but I want to obliterate anyone who thought inviting corporations to pride was a good idea. Nothing more alienating than going to an event that's supposed to be about queer people and half of it is devoted to advertising massive companies.

Hold On Tight (Tetris Meta)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sometimes you find a bit of poetry emerging organically from chaos. David Pridie was a programmer for several Tetris games including The New Tetris, the ROM of which contains a hidden text file wherein he reflected on his experiences working at H2O Entertainment. He had a lot of harsh words for the producer of The New Tetris (Don McClure), calling him lazy and incompetent, culminating in a warning to "hold on tight" to his useless job.
As a side note, based.
That exact phrase, "hold on tight," instantly calls to mind the song of the same name from the 2023 biopic thriller Tetris by the K-pop group aespa. The film itself centers the story of Henk Rogers, arguably the most accomplished and passionate producers in gaming history. As the film tells it, Henk Rogers violated corporate protocol and international law in order to get the game Tetris published. In actual history, the story is less sensational, but one can't argue that Henk Rogers went above and beyond what is expected of a game producer.
This paid off financially, obviously, but there's a more human element the film explores which both Henk Rogers and Alexey Pajitnov (the original creator of Tetris) corroborate as being true to life. Henk Rogers didn't just think Tetris was a good product, he believed it was good art. He wanted its creator to be compensated for his contributions to humanity. He did everything in his power to ensure not only that Tetris was presented to the world in the best possible light, but also that Alexey Pajitnov was treated as more than a cog in the Soviet machine, resulting in a friendship which has lasted 40 years.
In short, Henk Rogers is everything Don McClure is not, if the public stories are to be believed.

Anyway, better hold on tight. To Don McClure, this is a warning from a disrespected underling. For Henk Rogers, this is a warning from destiny.
Baby, you and me are a twisted fantasy Buckle up and take a seat, hold on tight
From the first lyrics of the song, the importance of collaboration is stressed. It's not me against the world, it's you and me.
We were built to be two enemies But somehow I know we're meant to be This world's a battlefield, I will be your shield We got something real, worth disrupting the peace We'll disrupt the peace, ah-ah-ah
There's something fundamentally romantic about Tetris. You need every piece to play. The line piece is big and flashy, but you could not build a beautiful stack without the T, the L, the J, and even the S, Z, and O pieces. We are given chaos to find the ecstasy of order.
Tetris is about love.
