(sins of the sea) 🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️ (lmao you don't have to do them individually, the Crew as a whole is fine)

It is not hard to pity them, those fools who have been trapped and tricked by the likes of Gorgos - or the many other names the vile thing has become known by over the many millennia it has existed, just as your predecessors have for at least as far back. That might surprise them... you do not judge them as readily as they seem ready to judge themselves, but rather you are more 'disappointed' than 'angry', at least as far as the Seven Sins are themselves. Hatred... that is more in line with what their 'Master' deserves, but not them per se.

Each of the Seven is in many ways self-made as what they are, but you perhaps are objective - or perhaps simply amoral - enough to look past the clear and obvious wrongs and see the potential beneath... the true kindness and goodwill they still have that could have left such a mark, if only they had not fallen into their respective pitfalls... or into His cold, clammy clutches.

'The Master' as he currently calls himself is another beast altogether - hard to place despite proudly(?) wearing the moniker of 'Sea Demon' in many times and tongues... you know from much experience, however, that he is no more a true 'demon' than you are 'simply' Fae - ironically enough, the Devil's in the Details to the point that even if a simple human is enough to harm him, truly ending him outright is, while possible, extremely unpalatable given what else would get dragged down to the depths of oblivion with him...

In spite of the clear hatred between you for all the most valid reasons, you have always had an odd mutual respect despite that; for all your respective power and history, it is hard to deny the true cunning and vicious skill in each other, enough to make calling him a 'Rival' as much as an 'Enemy' a fair admission, and him towards you in turn.

...That said, you can admire someone's talents and still hate their guts - that much has always been true, and never been in question. The true question is how to 'fight' the Master effectively... you have several options, but even so your current methods seem to be gaining traction... for now... though another little 'intervention' may be in order given recent events...

After all, Pettiness is not solely the domain of 'The Master', any more than Deal-Making is... And if nothing else, there are few things you enjoy inflicting upon your enemies more than Irony...

"...even now, even weakened and literally half-blinded by his own hubris... even now I still feel the ache of loss, watching Atlantis sink into the ocean, knowing I at least saved their souls but still bearing painful witness of each life being snuffed out as the waters claimed them... And the less said of Pompeii, the better. I know my time has passed, and my successor is likely not the one to end that cancerous blight of bloated corpses... but is it wrong to hope he bears witness to that vile creature's demise, all the same?"

"...Alas, it appears that there are so-called 'Demons' beyond my ilk that can rival us all the same... yet what claims has he to our kin? Naught but a shambling orifice of lies and stolen souls, Mockery of the highest order! May my power aid in the deposition of such filth, for even now, my bile churns at the notion of its victory."

the Carrionites from the shakespeare code are really a fascinating concept to examine in light of The Post Salt-Line Era (disclaimer: i don’t like the episode as a whole for obvious reasons). powerful witches from the before-times, applying word-magic as a science. words that rhyme or sentences constructed with a specific intent have enough power to stop one of a timelord’s hearts and potentially open a space-time portal. something to keep in mind vis a vis the repeated wordsmithing motif we’ve got going on in s14: spoor “that’s a nice word”; smelted “i’ve never used that before”; ruby was was foundled “what a funny word, foundled”; semperdistans.

if ruby really is a changeling… much as to the carrionites (who were evidently modelled after historical witchcraft folklore), words hold tremendous power to the fae. that’s why there’s all this mythology of faeries “stealing names”: to them, there is no difference between signifier and signified, between a word and the real-life object that word represents, so a name is the person’s actual identity, their personhood itself.

therefore, if ruby really is a faerie child, it makes total sense for her to accidentally be affecting reality through verbal expression in the way she’s been doing throughout the whole series. in space babies, she mentions star trek and suddenly the crew appear in star trek esque uniforms. in the devil’s chord, she mentions strictly come dancing and suddenly they’re dancing opposite two strictly judges. obviously, her word-magic comes to a head in 73 yards: she reads out “i miss you” on the clifftop and the doctor disappears. she reads out “rest in peace, mad jack” and in 20 years gwylliam’s up there on the screen calling himself mad jack (we can presume the original note wasn’t about gwylliam, but an actual villager called jack). ruby speaking messages out loud manifests them into reality. she’s got faerie blood.

Having a bad day. Passing the evening painting with my gouache to settle down. And playing with TAD. Here is the fox for Madeleine, the "hidden" deer for Joey. And the spirit of the forest for both of them.

I am currently inspired by their gig in the forest.

I just read a very old reddit post where a lady lied to her boyfriend about "peeling" her "old skin" right after or during her period. And the bf didn't hesitate to believe her and try and make her more comfortable and pampered during those times. Thing is, the girl also convinced all women on her bf's life to keep up with this lie. Of course, he ended up finding out, and he laughed he's ass off at his own naiveness and stupidity.

Now, don't tell me this isn't something that: Mammon (OM), Leviathan (OM), Beelzebub (OM), Deuce Spade (TWST), Malleus Draconia (TWST), Leraye (WHB) , Stolas (WHB)... would completely do.

I can see them just being so worried over their girl, completely adorable idiots.

#♤brought by the stars #obey me shall we date #obey me nightbringer #obey me x reader #obey me mammon #obey me leviathan #twisted wonderland #twst #twst x reader #twst malleus #twst deuce #what in hell is bad #whb #whb x reader #female reader #lets be honest here #deuce doesn't know a thing about periods outside of “its hurts and you most make sure your lady is comfy and happy”#then comes malleus that does know but about the fae ladiea periods so thinks that perhaps human ladies periods are different #and then all the devils that doesn't even know what the fuck a period is and deadass thought you were dying on them

Sitting at work thinking abt fae!price *sigh*

God same.

Thinking about him all the time. Thinking about the way he'd crowd you close to the counter, push his hips against your ass and ask if you wanna shut the water off so he can fuck you over the sink without the faucet runnin' on ya. The way he'd settle his hand protectively on the small of your back whenever you're in a crowd, directing you to less populated areas. Thinking about the way he'd twist the truth of the matter, the way he'd hide how much he truly cares for you until he knows it's reciprocated. Thinking about how the devil will always come to you with a pretty face and a smile, how he never lies to you only hides the inconvenient truths, how he knows full well that it's a dangerous day to fuck you but he still pulls you back in for another round.

I really should have learned by now that inktober just isn't for me - I get hyped up by the prompts, can't keep up with the breakneck pace I set myself (the plan was a full a4 ink illustration every other day, including weekends)

Ahaha. Hah. Hah.

I got two finished and one plotted out? Like the idea sketches were done and I was trying to build a ref in minecraft. ACK

I wish I could set up some kind of contraption that if I so much as said "inktober", would launch a boxing glove at my face, looney toons style.

🕯️

You do not know fully if you are trying to recruit her out of empathy or necessity, but part of you desperately wants to count her as a friend. It is rare to find others with powers of empathy similar to your own, and that alone is reason enough to desire her company. She shows skill in her work, understanding in her dealings with man and monster alike, care in her steadfast parenting as a single mother, and an enviable no-nonsense demeanor in her unwillingness to hold back when she feels criticisms are due. Truly, all around someone to admire and respect at the very least.

And yet... there is such a difficult disconnect between you two, isn't there? Whether it is her finding the disconnects and hypocrisies of your very existence something to be wary of, or your own mixed-up inner nature muddying up her ability to truly read you, it is clear that patience is needed going forwards if you wish anything you build with her to last, be it friendship or anything else... but who is it you are trying to convince that this is something to help her, truly?

"A leftover relic of the fickleness of the gods... to think I ever wished to be counted among their ilk in past lives. She has gone through enough, but clearly trying to bring her into the fold for her own sake will not be enough - the biggest part of any deal is making sure the other party thinks it was their idea to agree to it. Here is hoping he learns this lesson quickly with her help."

"Ah, another maiden fair, a beast who tore aside her shackles to make herself anew in the ashes? Truly, this young man has a knack for attracting the attention of the delightfully willful - perchance she can learn to trust him for that which he is, not what he is purported to be? Ah, the potential of two rebels of different stripes meeting in union is such a ripe tale for the chemistry alone..."

By far the funniest moment in LBFAD is in episode 14 when DFQC is stuck on his throne in front of his court experiencing the entire spectrum of human emotion for the first time in 30,000 years. That shit broke me

#love between fairy and devil #lbfad #dong fang qing cang #xiao lanhua #cdrama #my man was going through it #like holy fuck bring me the ring I don’t like it here #he just had to emotionally link with a moody little fae #delcious

Your body will transform to fit the world you go to, and you can choose for time to pass slower on your original world. There's a good chance you'll end up dating (and probably fucking) the creature you with if that's the thing you're into. You can still contact them after you go back home.

Reblog to get them to appear swiftly. Like to give them a little treat on their way there.

"i am time itself, i slow to let you play / i steal the hours and turn the nights into day"

the calling always feels like madeleine is literally coaxing my own voice out in a feral, primal scream right as she hits THAT part of the song. you get me, i know you do

#text #the amazing devil #madeleine hyland #the calling #she is simply a fucking fae that steals my voice for her own song every time I hear it #is that a fae or a siren actually #either works
