The 72 Demons Of The Ars Goetia
This will be multi parts and in each one we will be going over each branch of them "whoop whoop" let's get cracking
Starting off the 72 demons of the ars goetia are the amalgamation of the Occult Writings from the 15th century. Compiled into one text in the 17th that is where we get what is now known as the Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis or simply The Lesser Key Of Solomon. Due to many translations spelling changes depending on region and personal preference for the author.
Let's start the Journey with the KINGs Of Hell
Baal (Bael): is the first king of hell with estates in the east and commander of 66 legions. This King is distinguished by his three heads, One of Toad , One Of Man, and One Of Cat. He teaches the art of invisibility and the power to Garner The Favor of Others. He also rules over Love and Science.
His Symbol
Tumblr media
As with most Spirits in the Goetia they prefer people who are clever and intelligent. Someone who is willing to put in the work instead of relying entirely on the power of the deity
Paimon(Paymon): one of the kings of hell with estates in the NorthWest he is the ruler of 200 legions of demons. Paimon is depicted as a man with an effeminate face, wearing a precious Crown, and riding a Dromedary. He is said to roar upon arrival and speak in a loud voice until asked a question from the caster. Paimon teaches all arts, philosophies, and sciences, and secret things; he can reveal all mysteries of the Earth, wind, and water, what the mind is, and where it is, and everything the conjurer wants to know.
His Symbol
Tumblr media
To summon him it is common practice to have a Sacrifice prepared, usually one of personal significance to the caster.
Beleth: one of the Truly Mighty and terrible kings of hell he is the ruler of 85 legions of demons. Beleth is depicted riding a war house and is said to have Loud music blaring as he arrives. He is said to look terrifying upon arrival and will attempt to frighten the caster to see if they are brave.
His symbol
Tumblr media
When summoning him it would be best to hold a silver ring on your left hand middle finger to your face, as to show him his respect due to his rank in the infernal realm.
Purson: One of the Great Kings of Hell, being served and obeyed by twenty-two legions of demons. Purson is depicted as a man with the face of a Lion, carrying a Viper in his hand, and riding a bear. He is commonly associated with the AntiChrist. His powers include knowing all hidden things, discovering treasures and divination (telling all things from past, present and future). He can take on a human or astral form.
His Symbol
Tumblr media
He represents the sun and the moon and symbolism from both is best when beginning his summoning. I.E Silver and Gold Jewelry and coloring
Asmodeus(Asmoday): One of my personal favorites, he's the one I have the strongest relationship with out of all of the demons in the Ars Goetia. Labeled as The Thirty-second Spirit He is a Great King, Strong, and Powerful. He appeareth with Three Heads, whereof the first is like a Bull, the second like a Man, and the third like a Ram; he hath also the tail of a Serpent, and from his mouth issue Flames of Fire. His Feet are webbed like those of a Goose. He sitteth upon an Infernal Dragon, and beareth in his hand a Lance with a Banner. He is first and choicest under the Power of AMAYMON, he goeth before all other. He teaches the Arts of Arithmetic, Astronomy, Geometry, and all handicrafts.
Tumblr media
When summoning him be respectful he has a soft spot for academics and is a true wonder of a friend to have on your spiritual journey, just don't wear hats around him.
Vine: is an Earl and also a King of Hell, commanding 36 legions of demons. This demon is portrayed as a Lion holding a snake in his hand and riding a black horse. He can tell present, past, and future, discover witches and hidden things, create storms and make the water rough by means of them, and also bring down walls and build towers.
His Symbol
Tumblr media
Acts as an elemental guide unto those who may seek to attack you. Vine is also a divinatory spirit who will also brings initiatory knowledge to Wizards, Witches and hidden aspects. Summon him if you wish to learn more about the Occult.
Balam:is a great and powerful king of Hell who commands over 40 legions of demons. Balam is depicted as being three-headed. One head is the head of a bull, the second of a man, and the third of a ram. He has flaming eyes and the tail of a serpent. He carries a hawk on his fist and rides a strong bear. At other times, he is represented as a naked man riding a bear. He gives perfect answers on things past, present, and to come, and can also make men invisible and witty.
His Symbol
Tumblr media
From the Daemonolatry Goetia by S. Connolly
“Invoke Balam to get over social awkwardness or to find the inner reasons for shyness or discomfort. Leave a piece of gold in offering to Balam (And his sigil) on the altar to keep magickal works secret until they manifest the desired results.”
Zagan: A Great King and President of Hell, commanding over 33 legions of demons. Zagan is depicted as a griffin-winged bull that turns into a man after a while. He makes men witty; he can also turn wine into water, water into wine, and blood into wine as well as blood into oil, oil into blood, and a fool into a wise man. Other of his powers is that of turning metals into coins that are made with that metal (i.e., gold into a gold coin, copper into a copper coin, etc.).
His Symbol
Tumblr media
Turns things into their opposites. Invoke to help curb addictions and bad habits or make delusional people (or dabblers) to see the truth. Zagam rites are a Daemonolatry Keeper ritual
Belial:He is a King of Hell with 80 legions of demons and 50 legions of spirits under his command. He was created as the first, after Lucifer. He has the power to distribute senatorships and gives excellent familiars. He takes the form of Two Beautiful Angels sitting in a Chariot of Fire.
His Symbol
Tumblr media
He must be presented with offerings, sacrifices, and gifts, or else he will not give true answers to demands.
Always when working with these entities show them great respect and take into considerations that the majority of these are gods from other cultures that have had there meanings shifted over the years to be perceived as demonic. Treat them with kindness and respect and for the most part they will treat you the same. Do your research and learn. Learn more everyday and don't forget to have fun. The occult is a wonderful and beautiful thing and I hope to take you on more journeys with me.
We will continue this next time when we go over the Dukes of Hell.
Thank you for being here with me and having tea with me on the other side of the Great divide :)

The Dangers and Flaws of Idolization: A NEO TWEWY analysis post
Transplanting and expanding on a thread I made on Twitter to fit within a Tumblr format.
One of the most interesting aspects I see in NEO TWEWY that I don’t see many people touch upon is the commonality between Rindo, Fret, and Shoka in how they look up to others as role models while simultaneously being blind to their flaws/who they actually are up to the end and how the game's themes are reflected in those relationships and today, I'd like to showcase why.
Tumblr media
First, we have Rindo and Motoi. With that relationship, the game makes it pretty clear that Rindo looked up to Motoi as An0ther and used his words as encouragement to get through his own daily life and anxiety. The kid could barely decide what he could even eat for dinner before he had come across the account, so if you thought his current indecisiveness nature was bad, he was even worse before the events of the game.
Tumblr media
However, what I find interesting is that even though he constantly spouts An0ther's sayings in an attempt to try and steel himself for the challenges he faces, he thoughtlessly does so and only lives by the sayings half-heartedly, since his indecisive nature and fear of responsibility prevent him from committing all the way. I think it's telling that despite claiming that "don't miss your chance to make a friend" is one of his favorite quotes, he's constantly at odds with the idea of bringing potentially new players on board the team even before he gets the chance to properly know/meet them and grimaces at the thought of the structure of the old Reaper's Game in the original.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Keep in mind that Beat saved Rindo's life at the hands of Susukichi at least two whole days ago before this occurrence.
Nagi’s Dive into his head on W1D3 actually does a LOT to reveal aspects of his character: he puts other people at arm’s length (besides Swallow due to their online anonymity) because he’s afraid of the fallout of what would to happen if he got involved with them.
"What if I end up taking on more than I can handle? What if other people end up dragging me down with them? If I just stay at the sidelines and shift the blame onto others, I won’t get into trouble for this."
"I'm in a group project; everybody is contributing and making decisions about how we should go about doing things. I keep my mouth shut and refrain from pitching in despite maybe thinking some of their ideas misses the point of the assignment, because God forbid my ideas could be helpful (or maybe they won't; that's life, but I won't know unless i speak up). We end up handing in our project and whoops, we got a C-. I guess I'm not responsible for receiving that grade because I never made a decision, therefore I shouldn't be accountable for my lack of contribution. It just makes sense."
If you've known/are a person that have had similar thoughts to this mindset, then congrats; you know/are a Rindo Kanade in real life.
Tumblr media
This culminates into him latching onto others he finds capable and taking the relationships around him for granted, tying other people's worth to their prowess in might or influence. After all, why bother relying on yourself and others when you can just rely on someone else for you to solve your problems? Especially since it means that if everything goes south, YOU won’t take the fallout for it. After all, they’re clearly much more capable than you are.
To get back to his dynamic with Motoi, Rindo looks up to him immensely after finding out that he was his idol an0ther and came to value his input regarding matters within the Game. So when he eventually finds out the truth and is forced to confront the fact that his hero was nothing more than a content thief and a schemer who would trample over others just to survive, he’s understandably heartbroken.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
However, instead of just leaving it there, the game decides to flip the script and have Motoi legitimately apologize to Rindo for his actions, leading to the lad in question learning to recognize that Motoi is ultimately an incredibly flawed human being instead of just writing him off entirely, (even giving him another chance!) and is, in many ways, a mirror to Rindo. Like Rindo, Motoi was deathly afraid of responsibility and the fallout of letting other people down, leading to him copying and pasting other people's quotes so that he wouldn't have to face that possibility. This aspect of himself only got worse when he got trapped in the Reaper's Game for multiple loops on end, forcing him to become a worse version of himself, lying, cheating, and backstabbing just to survive and even looking towards becoming part of the Reapers, the same group that trapped him there in the first place, just so he wouldn't have to be Erased, un a manner that's eerily reminiscent to how Rindo would took towards overly relying on others so that he would make it out okay. In that sense, Motoi is a look at what a grown-up Rindo would look like if he didn't take the lessons he learned within the Game to heart, which is part of why the latter decides to take Motoi’s copypasted quotes and apply them to his life in a positive way, deriving his own meaning from them so that in a way that contrasts him following them in a shallow manner from before.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Next up, we have Fret and Kanon, who form a interesting parallel to Rindo and Motoi's dynamic. Whereas Motoi is a look at one of the worst possible paths that Rindo could take if he didn't learn how to properly deal with his flaws, Kanon actually tries to coach Fret into becoming more true to and genuine with his actual self. She also shows herself to be a genuinely affable and honorable person even in spite of the bad first impression that she had given at the beginning of the game by stealing Rindo and Fret's pin for herself.
However, that's only the surface level stuff, as the game actually goes deeper with her character. While Kanon at first seems to be true to herself and genuine at her core in a way that Fret isn’t, we can see from the Dive into her head on W3D3 that she’s holding back a LOT underneath the surface.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"You always did have a way of destroying things" tends to get glossed over by some and for those who do look at the words, they seemingly come out of nowhere and can be seemingly brushed off as her just being under the influence of the Plague Noise. However , when you look back at some of Kanon’s actions and her words towards the Twisters (accusing the Twisters of sabotaging Fuya and making Motoi drop out of the Scramble Slam against his will, her mood changing when she finds out about Fuya challenging the Ruinbringers in one timeline as opposed to her more cheerful attitude towards Fret when she didn't find that out just yet, her acting suspicious towards the Twisters regarding their prowess as a team, etc), the implication is that she doesn’t just resent the game as a whole but also secretly the Twisters as well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The thing about the Player teams is that they have formed an unspoken agreement where the top 3 teams (sans Ruinbringers of course) keep their footing by sending new players and other teams to last place, which the Wicked Twisters screw up just by existing. Their synergy and impressive Imagination powers (well, Fret, Nagi, and Sho’s at least) threaten the balance the teams have struggled to keep up for so long, hence why Kanon initially just sees them as another team to point snipe before she changes her mind on them. And while the Twisters do almost bring about change by beating the Ruinbringers, it ultimately doesn’t even matter in the long-run due to how incredibly rigged the Shinjuku game is and as a result, the DRS are eliminated, getting rid of Kanon’s and Motoi’s safety net.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Imagine this from the players’ perspective: you’re stuck in essentially what is a never-ending death game but you’ve got a system going where you can at least stave off your deaths for a bit longer. Then a couple of kids come around and throw that whole system entirely out of whack. And you think, "well, at least they can take out the top team and give us a fighting chance, right?" Only for those hopes to also get dashed because the rules are just that rigged. Like Kubo said, life ain’t fair and the afterlife sure as hell ain’t either. W1D5 and W2D4 are excellent explorations of this kind of mindset as it showcases the player teams falling victim to their desires and abusing their powers as a result of being stuck in an endless loop of playing the Game over and over again with no hope of escaping, as well as highlights paints certain comments made by the leaders in an even darker light.
With all of this in mind, it’s honestly no wonder that Kanon resents the Twisters but what’s interesting is that she tries to keep this resentment under wraps because she knows that it isn’t fair to them. They’re just kids after all who would have no idea about all of that. Hence why she admonishes herself in her Dive for wishing that they had just wipe out the Reapers altogether and why Fret is shown to be hurt hearing her inner thoughts about the Twisters in a way that’s pretty reminiscent of Rindo’s reaction when he found out about Motoi.
Tumblr media
And finally, we have Shoka and Ayano. While it’s pretty clear that the two do genuinely care for one another, it’s a relationship that’s been tragically scarred by the events surrounding Shinjuku and the Reapers in general, resulting in a mutually unhealthy dynamic. 
Tumblr media
What I find interesting about the relationship is that while Shoka gets pissed whenever Rindo insinuates that Ayano must’ve treated her badly, she sadly realizes in another convo that she doesn’t know much about Ayano on a personal level or what her interests even are.
Tumblr media
In spite of how close they are and how much they mean to each other, Ayano still put up emotional walls and closed herself off, never allowing herself to be on equal footing to Shoka and instead just be someone who guides and mentors her over the 4 years they were together.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is due to her feeling betrayed by Shiba/others while simultaneously using Shoka as her one stable point in life regardless because everything is going up into chaos surrounding the Shinjuku Reapers and she finds herself unable to trust anyone around her anymore. And Shoka herself doesn't even realize this until the end when it’s too late because she was just happy to simply have Ayano by her side without thinking deeper about her and their relationship as a whole due to her own emotional issues and troubled past.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When it comes to children from broken homes, they are prone to imprinting on any adult figure that interacts positively with them and in Shoka's case, this is exactly what she did with the Shinjuku Reapers, especially Ayano.
Tumblr media
A running theme throughout all of these instances is how they all involve the younger generation looking up to the adults in their lives as idols as opposed to just role models and thus fail to see them for who they are as actual human beings. And by the time they that finally do, it's too late for the adults.
You also see nods towards this theme via the Shinjuku Reapers and their relationship with Shiba or Shiba’s (who himself is parallel to Rindo if his tendency to subconsciously take on the values of others and mistake his as his own was twisted into the worst possible outcome) relationship with Kubo, with Hishima even flat out stating as such. "You fell at the feet of an idol like an utter fool", indeed.
And this all fits, as well, into NEO's larger theme that even as a 'follower', you have to question the 'leader'. Role models aren't bad -- but idols and failing to recognize their limits/flaws/toxicity are and will end up screwing you over in the long run if you aren’t careful. And I think NEO did an excellent job at exploring the little nuances that come with that, from Kanon’s internal resentment she knew wasn’t fair to the unseen distance between Ayano and Shoka to Motoi being a complete deconstruction of it all. It shows the good and the bad of idolizing someone too much. It shows how you can see the real them and turn the image you liked into something more with Rindo, or how to hold them in your heart while moving on like Shoka. It's okay to acknowledge the flaws and shortcomings of the people you look up to. Hell, it’s probably healthy to do that in some ways. As long as they’re still a good person or even helped you grow, you can still celebrate the good they brought

I have a cool idea! How about a romantic concept of Leon + Jill (DBD) sharing a survivor darling? Like the two just kind of gravitated towards a darling that has no survivor skills whatsoever but still tries their best and puts the team first before themselves? I feel that would attract them into helping the darling but it gradually turned into a yandere type of interest. Thank you! :>
Sure! I'll see what I can do for them sharing :) This isn't a very intense yandere as yandere survivors in DBD are a bit difficult to make intense for me.
Yandere! DBD! Leon + Jill with Survivor! Darling
Pairing: Romantic - Sharing/Poly
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Overprotective yandere, Dubious relationship, Two yanderes sharing a darling, Slight manipulation, Controlling behavior, Blood.
Tumblr media
These two share similar lore and backstories due to having the same franchise and where their games take place.
Although, Jill would be the veteran of the two since in DBD canon it was RE2! Leon who was sent into the fog with RE3! Jill.
She knows Nemesis the most and would probably be the one you could rely on for survival most.
These two have a natural tendency to adapt.
Leon may be a rookie but he knows his way around zombies.
Jill's a veteran when it comes to surviving monsters... but even in this fog she's in unfamiliar territory.
The two probably would gravitate towards a survivor who's new to the fog and is struggling to survive.
The two probably would appreciate you still trying to help the team.
Even if you blow up a few generators or struggle to elude the killer... they still like that spirit of yours.
In terms of who clings to you first I'm tempted to say Leon.
In RE2 he seems like such a puppy kind of yandere.
Jill is drawn to you because she has a natural tendency to want to help others survive.
The two aren't immediately yanderes which allows sharing you to work.
In fact, they are more concerned with keeping you safe than fighting over your attention.
They get along because they share a common goal, guiding you through the fog.
If one of them can't be there, the other takes over.
It's upsetting they have no real weapons in this realm but they still try to do what they can.
Such as guarding you from hits or blinding the killer once you're targeted?
They don't mind bleeding if it means you are safe.
Their yandere behavior filters in like a slow trickle.
You most likely won't notice it as most survivor obsessions tend to just be overprotective and less violent than a killer obsession.
Leon is the most clingy with you.
He'd be the one who always follows you throughout the trial.
He usually tries to take hits for you and uses flashbangs to keep the killer off your trail.
He's protective like Jill, although a bit more open with his obsession.
Jill is a bit more stoic due to being her RE3 variant.
She prioritizes your safety before her feelings and is much more focused on protecting you more than anything.
She would probably coordinate with Leon to utilize his flashbangs while she helps you with a generator or something.
They both get antsy when you try to get an unhook and one will usually distract you from the thought while the other pursues the unhook.
The poor fourth survivor in your group is often neglected, however.
Jill and Leon could be so focused on protecting and defending their darling that the other person may just die on the hook.
Whoops-
For the most part their behavior could be seen as either platonic or romantic behavior.
Yet if their intentions are romantic... they can be a bit intense.
Both have at least a little bit of fear towards the idea of you getting hurt.
While they know you'll be fine next round... they don't like hearing your screams.
Which is why they try so hard to prevent it... which can seem controlling at times.
This protective behavior is fine in the beginning when you first arrive in the fog.
Although when you get more experience... you seriously wish they did more to help the team instead of just you.
Even when you pick up on the idea they may have ulterior motives, you still feel bitter at the idea of the team falling apart due to you one way or another.
Having them both as romantic partners can quickly become too much.
During off times, if you are dating, they find a private place by a fire to 'attend' to you.
It usually becomes an overly clingy cuddle session.
Leon often wants to lay his head on your lap and play with your hands.
Meanwhile Jill likes to sit behind you and hold your waist, laying her head on your shoulder.
It sounds cute.
You have a loving boyfriend and girlfriend... nice, right?
The issue is how suffocating they feel....
You barely have independence and are never far without at least one of them breathing down your neck.
They're used to sticking together... you've ALWAYS stuck together!
Why change it now...?
They love you... is what they're doing a problem, baby?
If you're okay with overprotective and/or suffocating partners, then maybe you'll do fine.
If not... well... you may try to get away from them.
That isn't easy....
Leon, being a clingy yandere, refuses to part from you for whatever reason.
Jill would be more lenient and give you space if you asked for it... but she won't let you break up with her or Leon.
There's the guilt tripping that eventually comes up...
Leon in particular likes to play with your emotions while Jill tries to show you the benefits of staying with them.
They'll make you second guess yourself...
You're a team, aren't you?
You can't abandon your team.
They may become more affectionate than before or bribe you to stay.
In terms of violence... I'd say they're capable.
They may not be able to do much to killers but they could sabotage other survivors.
That or, as much as they hate to say it, sabotage you to keep you with them.
Maybe you twist your ankle in a match... or you get caught in a trap?
The first few matches you need help, they stop.
You said you wanted nothing to do with them, didn't you?
Then unhook yourself.
Heal yourself.
Be independent like you wanted.
There's a chance soon you'll give in and crawl back to them... covered in blood and sobbing.
But don't worry, they knew you would eventually.
Jill will heal your wounds while Leon kisses you better.
Cry independence all you want...
Truthfully you need them as much as they do you in this realm.

"Lookism Men x Reader (When you're sick/not feeling well PART 2)"
A/N: I'm back from the dead after days of not posting :) :/. Warnings: getting sick, over fatigue, colds/fever, passing out, overall not feeling well Genre: fluff ☁️Reader is gender neutral (and in an established relationship with the character of choice :)
︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿
Hudson Ahn (Ahn Hyun-Seong)
Tumblr media
He won't be so fazed with you being sick but he's still worried deep inside. Taesoo might even whoop his ass out if he didn't attend his training because of him taking care of you. Now now, don't feel guilty about it. Hudson looks like he's hating every inch of him babying you but he actually finds it relaxing to do something else other than punching rocks on the woods (but he still hoped that you don't get sick he hates it seeing you very unwell).
He knows that you'll get dizzy and limping or you'll catch a cold especially if you have a weak immune system but Hudson will still scold you like calling you an "idiot" for being careless if you're being to stubborn to get help lmao.
Hudson will be the type of "Don't ask for my help if you're going to act like this for being stupid." but then he'll 100% look out and take care for you when you're not feeling well lol. He'll buy facemasks and your medicine for you to get better soon and he probably knows how to cook so you can rely on him when your sick and pretty much screwed up. And he will clean up the place once you're feeling better since he doesn't want to fell ill either, he has other businesses to do.
"You have a fever". "Wha-" "You have a fever". Hudson bitterly answered as you are tucked on the bed like a little toddler, pouting at your boyfriend's disappointed reaction as he sighs at you trying to pull out the puppy-eye card. Though you indeed look very cute, he still can't help but to cringe at you trying to calm down his nerves right now. "Don't act like this or I'll literally going to leave you here." he tries to tease threaten you while you pleaded him with that sparkly eyes and holding his hand with all of your strength despite feeling physically numb. "Wait! I'm just kidding!" you protested as you coughed because of your sore throat killing you right now. "Then why didn't you listened when I told you to get some rest. You could have passed out or something might happened even worse to you." he flicked your forehead gently making sure it won't hurt you, but you still reacted too much pretending it hurts just makes him laugh. You really are an idiot at times.
Hudson's probably a kuudere? It's no surprise if he's celebrating his victory inside when you hold his hand on your dates lmao. Now he'll get a bit overprotective of you even at the least problematic of things. It might not be obvious but he cares about you so much.
Eli Jang (Jang Hyun)
Tumblr media
Overprotective dad = Overprotective boyfriend/husband. Now he has to multi-task to take care of you and Yenna (but Sally and Warren will help him out so it will make him more relieved).
This man would be worried af. I wouldn't be surprised if he scolded your ass once again. Since he's already stressed out with the crews, you getting sick just makes him anxious more. But don't worry too much Eli would not point the blame on you, but please you just got to be careful at times since he's mostly not available :(.
But Eli has more experience in taking care of his someone than the rest of the men in this list. He knows what medicine and food you should take/consume, he would keep an eye on you almost 24/7 and he would NOT let leave you on his bed unless if you need to use the rest room (you got to recharge your energy y'know). And it's no surprise that despite getting worried at times, he's always ready with situations like this. He already has the alcohol/hand sanitizers, cough syrups and face masks in his bag. This man is your personal nurse lmao.
"Y/N, what the hell are you doing?" he glared at you as you made eye contact with his heavy and tired ones while you get yourself a fresh cup of water. And him carrying Yenna while he cooks breakfast and him boiling water to get your tea ready. "Uh I was just-" "You could have called me when you need something. You're just exhausting yourself go back to bed." he scolded you as you sighed and went back to your bedroom with Sally checking your temperature with a thermometer. "Sooo, am I feeling better now?" you asked in a cheeky matter as Sally sighed and showed you the results. "Not really. You still need to rest a lot. Eli's been stressed lately so you got to feel better and do your best." she stated as the blonde strawberry-haired lady ruffled your hair to make you feel better before leaving. After minutes, heck even hours of being alone on the bed getting consumed by your own thoughts Eli is back with your food, tea and medications ready. "Food is here" "Oh um yeah. Let me just-" you were about to get up when Eli placed the food tray on the small table in your bedroom and helped you get up by placing your pillow properly to support your head and back. "Am I a burden?" you asked him with a hint of worrying in your voice. "What do you mean by that? Of course not." he stated as he sat down on the chair beside as you avoid eye contact. "You've been doing a lot for Hostel. You take care of me and Yenna, you study and fight your ass off, even getting hurt because of the Workers. You've been doing so much for us." you answered honestly making your boyfriend sigh. "I know. But I chose to and I'm doing this to protect our family, especially you and Yenna. It may be exhausting but you're not a burden to me. So don't overthink too much love."
10/10 Boyfriend (still mentally unstable, but he's still nice if it's not on the Hostel arc lol).
Warren Chae (Chae Won Seok)
Tumblr media
Not the best caregiver but also not the worse?
But don't get me wrong Warren will still do his best when you got sick. Though he may or may not scold you a lot or he'll just sigh, witnessing your terrible state.
He'll be the type to forget that you're sick and order a box of your favorite fast-food even when you have stomach cramps/diarrhea because he cares about your cravings so much 😭. "Y/N! (I bought some) fried chicken!" you heard your boyfriend call out for you in a cheerful tone as he carries a box of freshly cooked chicken of your favorite brand along with other sweets and placing it on the wooden table. Sally can't help but to pout at him for being a bit forgetful at times. "Warren, didn't the doctor told you that she/he is not allowed to eat too much calories today?" "Yeah, didn't you remember that silly head?" you teased your boyfriend as he stands there dumb founded as his mind travels into different dimensions, he's just really stupid at times. "Wait wha- 👁️👄👁️. Oh shit, sorry I forgot to buy your medicine! Don't worry I'll come back here!" Trust me he'll look goofy af when he tries to run away bc he'll probably forget to bring his wallet with Sally screeching at the top of her lungs to get back since he doesn't have any money with him.
But the dedication in this man when he likes someone is actually really impressive. If he really cares, he'll make sure to give justice to his affection towards you. He'll stay up all night taking care of you even if it takes his own health at risk, he just wants to see you better.
I'm going to say that Warren is an overall a green flag most of the times. He may be somehow a bit dumb but he (along with Hudson ; I guess) are more emotionally well than the rest of the dudes in this list I guess (I'm literally roasting Eli and Johan at this point).
Johan Seong (Seong Yohan)
Tumblr media
Also a kuudere like Hudson. Johan will call you a dumbass for getting sick in different languages at this point.
It might not be obvious, but he'll also be worried if his someone is not feeling well. It may look like that it's just a common cold but it reminds him of his mom. Now she's struggling with her eyesight and him seeing you trying your best to get better just makes him a bit sad at this point.
It can be a bit surprising, but Johan knows about this stuff. His mom used to work at her salon a lot, causing her to have back pains at times and he likes to help her out while he listens to her rambles about her day (this is kind of a bit too cute and sad for a headcannon). He may not initiate it often since he doesn't want to make you feel uncomfortable, but the moment that it looks like you really need it he won't hesitate to help you out. "Does your shoulders hurt?" you heard your boyfriend ask you as you tried to rotate your shoulders to ease the pain. But considering how observative the brunette male is, he decided to ask you about it since it can be a bother when you're trying to study/work. "Yeah, would you mind?" "Oh, sure come here." >333 L:JD:LKJ:LAJKD. He'll also give advices to fix your posture so you wouldn't have to ask him for another remedial session especially when he's busy lmao. "Y/N I told you to not crouch when you're sitting. You're literally going to kill your spine at this point". he scolded you once again as he gently approached your shoulders and massage you. "Sorry love, I was just too focused on work/doing my homework I guess." "You just probably love my hands a bit too much..." "JOHAN!" (Johan on the outside: -_- Johan on the inside: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
He also knows about your medications and what you should eat. He would scold you like Eli if you move too much when you're dizzy while looking you with that dead ass eyes. "Dummyhead, go back to bed you're still sick -_-".
It may looks like that he's hating every inch of these moments with you together, but it can be a bit fun and stressful memory for him. Making him chuckle and tease you with those pretty eyes when he recalls about it.

To protect a wolf (Twilight)
Tumblr media
Pairing: Twilight x reader -pre relationship
Rating: T for language and some blood
Summary: While Twilight is incapacitated, you step up to protect him. Obviously, he realizes he loves you at the worst time. But you both take care of each other after.
Warnings: Some blood, some fighting, cursing
Other: Let me know if I missed anything
-------
This dungeon might actually kill him. Twilight can barley thing straight he hurts so much.
And you're with him - you need his help. He can't just quit.
But you're in the final room facing down the boss. And Twilight's barley able to move.
His leg is broken in at least three places. He's pretty sure the world shouldn't be spotty, and he is bleeding out of his ribs.
And to top it all of it's a water dungeon.
The boss is large, a squid like creature that seems to spit poison ink. There's a weak spot - an eye atop its head.
Always with the eyes.
Fuck his life.
"(Y/n)." He tries.
"Shut up." You hiss, drawing attention to yourself by smacking your sword and shield together.
He really can't do anything but trust to roll out of the way of attacks. He just wants to keep you safe- but he can't even decide which quickly blurring version of you is real.
He hears the fight, sword slashing and shield clanging. He heard movement and curses.
Feels the air move with you and the boss.
He can hear you taunt it.
He hears it fall as you attack it.
He hears the intimidating roar as it gets up.
He can't see shit-
But he hears it all.
He hears your curse and inve as something cracks.
He hears you take some new injury
He even hears the snarling curse as you drive something into the beast.
He bets you still look so beautiful. You always do.
What is he doing thinking about that?
You're in danger-
"Die you bitch!" Yoir voice cuts through his thoughts.
Well, you're still alive. That's very good. He'd hate to lose you before he told you he loved you.
Wait-
Fuck.
This new information is not helpful at all. It's also not surprising.
The sound fades out as you fight the boss, time lost to him.
He doesn't know how long has passed when he opens his eyes again... when did he close them?
"Twi... Link?" You call, kneeling in front of him.
"Hm?"
"I'm going to have to carry you out. I don't have any healing items."
"I can walk-"
"Bullshit. You could barely roll over. I'm going to carry you."
"Bu' 'm too heavy." He slurs out.
"You're really not." You say, relying on your own farm life spent wrestling goats, cows, and horses to the ground when needed.
He just groans.
You move so your kneeling on one knee, the othe in front of you.
He groans louder as you slide your arms under him. One around his shoulders and one under his knees.
"Shhh, I got you Twi. It's okay."
"I'm sorry." He manages.
"Don't be." You say quickly, standing and pulling him off the ground with you.
You hold him close to you, straining under his weight. He's pure muscle. You don't know why you thought you could carry him on a broken ankle without issue.
But you have to get hum out. Thank god for adrenaline.
If Twilight were even slightly more aware he'd demand you leave and come back for him. You're bleeding profusely from your stomach. Along with other places.
You walk, carrying him and your all's things out of the dungeon, wincing every other step.
He's concious but only just.
You walk to camp - each step feeling like you're being punished.
The others see you and rush forwards.
"What happened?!"
"Twilight is hurt. You gotta help him."
"You're hurt too." Legend says.
"Not bad." You say, obviously unaware of how injured you are.
Time takes Twilight from you, moving him so he's laying on the ground just so.
Hyrule releases a fairy over Twilight first. Then he starts in with healing magic.
"Is the world supposed to turn black?" You ask, feeling a lot weaker with no notice.
Time turns to you, "What-"
You collapse as your ears start to ring. You probably should have paid more attention to your own condition. Whoops.
.......
Twilight wakes up with a mouth like the desert and a pounding headache- but he's alive and well. Mostly.
He looks around, finding Hyrule and Wild nearby- but you're not in his sight.
"Where’s-" he summons spit to swallow to wet his mouth, "Where’s (Y/n)?"
Hyrule turns, looking relived to see the wolf shifter awake. "Hey, how do you feel?"
"Where is (Y/n)?" Twilight asks again, more impatient.
"They're resting at an inn. With both of you having lost a lot of blood, old man decided we'd need to stay in an inn for a bit. "Legend says from behind Wild.
"Why aren't we there?"
"Your leg needed to heal all the way before we moved you. They - well, they needed a bed."
"They're hurt?"
"Yeah. They are. But they're better now."
"Take me to them." Twilight says, pushing to sit up.
"Okay. Just wait - Wild's almost done with the hearty stew."
"Don't care, I need to make sure-"
"Twilight. "Sky says gently, "They worked hard to keep you safe, don't insult them by being stubborn and refusing a recovery aid."
"I-" Twilight doesn't known what to say to that.
"Good."
He trusts the boys. He really does!
But after his realization and you taking care of him- he just needs to see you as soon as he can.
He needs to make sure you're okay.
He also needs to figure out how in the name of Ordona to tell you he loves you. But he's way more concerned with your health.
Especially since you woukd have gotten hurt protecting him.
Oh... he really fucked up-
"They aren't mad." Legend says from his spot, "I know they aren't a hero like us- but they can hold their own."
"They shouldn't have had to. I should have protected them better."
Legend makes a face that suggests he'd rather talk to a praticularly stubborn wall than trying to convince Twilight of anything right now.
.......
You wake up to Time fretting over you. His muttering is unnerving paired with the face of grim acceptance.
"Where’s- Where’s Twi?" You ask, looking around and not finding him.
This does nothing to slow your racing heart, finding only Time with you and some dull inn decorating.
"He's at camp. He'll be here shortly."
"Is he okay?"
"Yeah, he's okay."
"Good. I hate squid."
Time snorts at that, seeming relived that you're well enough to be bitter.
"You gave all of us a scare, looked dead when you came to camp, and then collapsed."
"Oh... Whoops."
"You have to be more careful-"
"Twilight would have died. I am not gonna let someone die just cause I'm hurt too!"
"I'm not saying otherwise. I'm just telling you to be more careful."
"Okay. But- is Twi really-"
The door opens with a bang, an exhumed Twilight in the doorway who let's out a breath of air when he sees ypu.
"(Y/n)."
"Twi!"
You try to sit up only to grunt and fall back into bed.
"Stay down," Time says, "You're gonna be sore for a while."
"You're okay." Twilight breathes out, walking over to sit on the bed beside you. "I'm sorry I should have protected you-"
"Don't start that." You manage, "You were really hurt."
"The others said you were too."
"I could walk. You couldn't. It's nothing. "
"(Y/n)." Twilight says sharper than he usually does, "You put yourself in danger for me. Please don't act like I couldn't have done things differently. "
"Twi... I know. It definitely could have gone better. It could have been worse too."
"Yeah."
"I'm really glad you're okay "
Time stands, stretching up, "You're staying in this room too, Twilight. I figured you'd both want to be near eachother. "
"Thank you." You say to Time.
"Seriously though, be careful, (Y/n)."
Twilight has to agree with his mentor.
You just sigh, trying not to move too much. "Okay."
"Good. I'm going to check on dinner plans." Time says before leaving and shutting the door behind him.
Twilight just let's out a breath, "I was worried... when I woke up you weren't there."
"I know. I felt the same way."
"I'm sure." Twilight says, not sure how to tell you that he actually doubts that.
Becuase you obviously care for him but how could you love him back?
"Twiligh- Link." You say, the use of his name making him look up quickly.
"Yes?"
"Don't beat yourself up. Everyone gets hurt."
"I'm supposed to protect you though."
"Why?" You ask, feeling hurt already at the implications of the statement. "I may not be a hero but I can hold my own!"
"It's not that... It's just-" he takes a moment.
How does he tell you that he needs to protect you becuase you are someone he loves. That he loves you romantically. With his whole heart?
You stare, waiting for him to continue and really hoping he has a reason that's not just him being a chosen hero.
Twilight sighs, he might as well just tell you. He can't lie for anything- not to you at least... and a lie woukd just confuse you more.
"Because I love you, (Y/n). And I don't ever want to see you hurt."
You choke a little, suprised and touched. That's definitely a better reason than be Hylia's chosen hero.
"And I don't expect you to feel the same-"
"I do. I do feel the same."
"What?"
"I love you too. Have for a whole now- though typically you confess with flowers and not while someone is in bed looking like shit."
"You look beautiful. "
"You're very biased."
"Yeah."
You smile at him, and while you definitely hurt, you feel better than you did when you passed out. And hey, you might just get a boyfriend out of this.
"We should talk about this more later Twi, but can- you just stay with me?"
"Of course. Can I do anything to make you hurt less?"
"No... I'm probably going to fall asleep again soon honestly. I feel like I was run over by a heard of wild horses."
"Ouch. I'm sorry, Darlin'."
You giggle, "I like that name."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah."

Little but Fierce VIII
Knives is totally dismissive of Meryl. He acknowledges she exists all of three times.
Once in Vash's memories, to delete her from them; once as he's piercing the Core, to call her a parasite and dismiss her attempts to get Vash to wake up; and once to try and violently kill her because... she succeeded in waking Vash up.
Whoops.
I listed all those statements that Knives claimed to be the truth; now here's everything that I believe proves them false.
Vash is pretty, but he's useless without his brother.
Vash does not need his brother. He loves him - of course he does. He wants to save him. But he's never needed him. Rem was the one he relied on for support, and after her death, Vash was too afraid of Nai to give him that kind of trust. He's spent decades surviving away from him, something Knives simply will not acknowledge. He tries to remove Vash's autonomy because as long as he has it, Vash is at risk of abandoning him again, just as Rem did.
Remember that once Knives initiated the memory retrieval process, Dr. Conrad warned Meryl that breaking that connection would kill Vash? Knives made Vash need him, made him dependent. That's his idea of making Vash perfect.
He's a powerless, weak, pathetically naïve, blubberingly sentimental little baby who doesn't care about the Plants, too busy enabling humanity's abuse via performing his cringing, grasping abasement before them to notice how his brethren suffer.
Knives developed his powers first. But Vash's powers are greater. He can do everything a normal Plant can do; he can also do much more, and he's such a wonderful, kind and compassionate man, with amazing reserves of emotional strength. Knives wouldn't have had to try and subjugate him otherwise.
Vash personally talks to the Plants, cares for them, soothes their pain. And he's been doing that not just to help them, but to help the humans panicking because if the Plants died, so too would they. He spent years travelling between crash sites helping Plants and teaching humans to take care of them, assuming an authoritative role even as a little boy, and if he hadn't figured out he could do that, he would almost certainly have killed himself. Remember he finally made the choice to live in order to save a dying Plant, not a human - dying because the environment was incompatible. You know, because they'd all been crashed on a desert planet. Certainly many Plants are still suffering. Because Vash is the only one doing this. He can't rest or delegate. It has to be him alone; it all depends upon him.
And Knives has been too busy playing his stupid piano to take any notice. And having other people do things for him. Oh, and making it damn near impossible for Vash to do what he does, partly because Vash has been convinced he bears all the responsibility and accepts the punishment himself. It's incredible he's held up even as well as he has.
If Knives is even aware Vash can heal Plants, he likely wouldn't care, because he views Plants in dependent form as imperfect, the same way he has contempt for Vash's fondness for eating. When Vash tried to talk to him about the needs of the other Plants based on his own direct experience, Knives didn't just shut him down by calling what Rem said a lie, he started mocking Vash's grief over her death, complaining that she inconvenienced him. He isn't interested in an alternative. His is the only way. It always has to be his way; that's been reflected in all his abuse.
Knives himself is the more powerful (and much less human-like) of the twins; the strongest and most righteous activist for necessary change now that, sadly despite all good faith attempts at communication, non-violent solutions have failed.
Remember Zazie, Elendira and Vash himself all have said don't judge by appearances. Yeah, Knives's colouration makes him look a bit more like the dependents than Vash does. That doesn't mean he's less human.
When he first started using his chosen name, Knives was doing nothing to help his brethren in the wake of the Fall. All he did was retaliate against humans and obsess over Vash. He bet everything on being able to carry out his plans using his brother's power. He didn't bother to communicate with any human other than Dr. Conrad. Seriously, count how many humans he addresses directly in the series. The total shrinks to one if you leave out those he doesn't immediately try to kill.
As for the "less human-like" part...
Dr. Conrad and Knives believe a soul is what gives a Plant free will, makes an Independent. Knives is referred to as an angel, and as perfect.
But angels don't have souls, so much as they are souls - they're beings of spirit, not matter. Humans are the ones who have both souls and material bodies. The dependents are in their tanks because their bodies can't survive outside of them. What makes Vash and Knives what they are isn't a soul. It's their humanity.
Thus I simply can't take the idea that Knives is "perfect" at face value. I stand by the assertion that Knives, in defining all humanity as selfish and greedy parasites, inadvertently exposes how human he is himself.
He truly has only the best and most altruistic intentions: the freedom of his people, and the happiness of his brother.
Look at what he did to Vash. The only other member of his kind he knows to be a person, and he chained and silenced him. Look at how often Knives is around dying Plants, dying because of the situation he forced them into. Do you believe it?
I don't. I find no truth in his words. I can count on one hand the moments I think he's being honest about anything. And I'd like this to be kept in mind as I continue.
I said before that the series seems mostly to take on Knives's point of view, and it's worth also keeping that in mind - especially when you remember the Punisher was Knives's chosen, custom-tailored agent. A gift. He was the one Knives obviously expected would become Vash's chief emotional support; all the better to kick it out from under him. After all, his brother is the one Vash truly loves; the brother who is a weapon, a punisher of human sin, who's done all he's done for his family. Who better to bring Vash home than an imperfect replacement, reminding him of what it was in his life that's been absent for so long? His human inadequacy would add strength to Knives's argument. And so focus goes to Wolfwood, showing how being forced to take on this role has made him suffer. He is, literally, pivotal; his backstory and conflict is revealed and resolved in 6/7, the midpoint of the series.
Naturally, it just demonstrates all the ways Wolfwood isn't like Knives, and that Vash never needed his help. Wolfwood is the one saved by Vash, not the other way round.
So… because Knives was so focused on Wolfwood and what he would mean to Vash, he never once thought Meryl mattered, not to Vash and not to the Plants and not to the world at large. She's a parasite, nothing more. There's no way some silly officious little womanchild with no weapons or powers could mean anything.
Right up until the moment she did, and he promotes her instantly, all the way from insignificant to tango primary.
Meryl in his mind goes from insect he can't be bothered to swat to an ideological threat on the level of Rem Saverem, and he starts shrieking denials that she's beaten him. And remember that I said you should believe the opposite of whatever he says?
She has.
Tumblr media
Because she loves Vash. (Platonic or romantic as usual doesn't matter.) She's chosen to follow him even to the edge of reality. Though she found Vash frustrating, she didn't try to change him, nor does she need or want anything from him. She saw how much strength he had, what he could do if someone just had faith. When Vash declares I won't stop until they believe in me, he can draw hope from the assurance that Meryl already does. And unlike Rem, Luida, Rosa - Knives can't do jack-shit about it.
And Vash, in turn, has deep appreciation for her support. She tied him up all the way back in ep 1 - which I called "laying a claim" - and here Vash reciprocates, binding them together. She's lent him her agency, her independence, and she didn't have to resort to anything like the grotesque extremes Knives did. It required no more or less from her than unyielding love - an ordinary human's love. Just like Rem. Thank you, Meryl. I heard her voice through you.
Her love is rooted in seeking and embracing the hard truth rather than shoring up a comforting lie. When Vash starts to break free of Knives's illusion, it's by holding to the truth - it was Rem who promised to protect him, not Nai. Nai isn't an innocent little boy anymore but monster of metal chains and blades, something Vash has every reason to run from. Rem loves Vash no matter what's been done to him, and Knives cannot kill her as long as she remains alive in him. Knives is too frightened to face the truth, regards it with so much terror he tries to flee back into the ignorance of the childhood before he learned it. In contrast, Meryl's courage and conviction, her dedication to seeking and spreading truth, is so strong in her they steel that which is within those surrounding her; Roberto, Wolfwood, even in Vash. She may be small, but her power is sufficient.
Never ever overlook Meryl motherfucking Stryfe. That's a mistake so great it can see a man go from the threshold of victory to on fire.
And I'm still not done talking about her. One more instalment.

Obviously, Cesar noticed and asked whats up
You explained everything and he felt so fucking bad
He treats you like your about to die
I mean in his eyes you are fragile so-
Hes sooo much more gentle. Like 20% more gentle
And thats saying something knowing how gentle and soft he is
Will, not can, WILL help with carrying things
Like he would rather pain his back then make you suffer even more
If you complain about the cast, he will always be there to remember you that its only temporary
Hes like a mom...like his mom-
He just needs to make sure your okay
Cesar will make the living area more suited for you and your arm
If your dominate arm is broken, expect Cesar to become your dominate arm
Even if your left handed
Once its time for the cast to come off, he insists on coming with you
Hes there to make sure your not uncomfortable and that you can rely on him to comfort you
After wards, Cesar will take you and him out for ice cream as a mini reward for getting through these times
Tumblr media
"Mark Heathcliff"
Background
You and Mark were cleaning his place. You were in his upstairs attic. You were stepping backwards to get away from something when you
WHOOP
You fell through the entry hole and fell hard on the ground
Yea Mark put everything down to come get you
You didn't get super injured, just your head and back hurt like shit
He immediately started to panic and thought you needed serious medical care
In reality, you really didnt. The fall wasn't that serious and really it was only a few feet above the ground
Not saying it didn't hurt, but it wasn't dire
But Mr Heathcliff doesn't care because he also thinks your dying and your ribs broke to make a horrible xylophone
He instantly lays you on his bed, sobbing out of pure panic
You tried to calm him down by saying your actually okay and that you aren't seriously injured
Hes still not convinced
"I can't just go back to cleaning because you said your okay! Are you crazy?!"
Doesn't matter what you say, your not cleaning anymore
He will do everything while you lay down in his bed and watch shows
Deadass. Gave you the remove and said "Watch whatever you want. I'll finish out work"
Honestly hes like Cesar but a lil more s p i c e
He ended up joining you after he was done with cleaning and cuddled you
Tumblr media
"Adam Murray"
You and Adam were both trying to look for something in the trunk of the car
That was when you hand unknowingly grabbed a pocket knife that someone forgot to cover
So basically you cut your hand
You yelped in pain and shock, confusing and scaring Adam
He took one look at you grasping your hand and knew instantly something happened
He made you open your hand and he just saw blood
Adam instantly freaked out and went to grab his water bottle and hand sanitizer
He made sure your hand was thoroughly cleaned. Like really clean.
After that he put a little bit of hand sanitizer on the cut. Yes it stings but its helpful
He tries to distract you from the pain by talking to you
"Just listen to my voice, baby. Okay? Just listen to me and don't pay any attention to anything else besides me and my voice"
Once your all clean and taken care of, he tries to find the knife
Don't worry, hes being careful
He ends up finding it, finding blood dripping on the side
He cleaned it off and puts it away correctly
He kisses your cheek once its all been done
Hes super apologetic and he tries to make it up to you
Mhmmph...A is for apologetic adam...
Tumblr media
"Jonah Marshall"
Background time abbeyyy
You and Jonah were doing a mission in a home
You were on the ground setting up a camera when Jonahs arm moved a vase and it crashed on your head, causing it to shatter
He instantly swooped in to make sure your okay
He checks your scalp, your skin, face, whatever could of been hurt
If any glass did cut your skin, he will instantly pick you up and take you to the bathroom to clean you up
He cleans up the glass after he takes care of you
Jonahs motto is take care of important things first yknow
He is much more careful when working
He doesn't exhile you to a bed or something
It is your choice whether or not to continue working or not
If so, cool more help
If no, that's also cool
If he really needs help, he'll call up Adam
He just makes sure that your not in dire need of a hospital
But if you do need a hospital trip, like let's just say glass fell in your eye or somthin
That mf stops whatever he's doing and drives to a nearest hospital
Yes he's putting himself at risk to be caught, but he disguises himself best he can cause he's going in with you
Emotional support an all that

Whoop-dee-doo, it's Zippo time!
Tumblr media
Zippo [pyro->scout]
- Unfortunately don't have a whole lot of headcanons for this guy :(
- He's not as fast as the original RED Scout, but very good at parkouring and scaling walls that other wouldn't be able to climb (speed: ×60, agility: ×10000)
- Canon Scout has BONK to give him energy, but for Zippo, I decided to go with a different concept using the mechanics of an inhaler!
- Basically, there's these little capsules of medigun fluid which he inserts into the inhaler for him to inhale before or mid-battle for an energy boost! And also health, if he's injured. The boost is temporary and only lasts 15 minutes, but 15 minutes is more than enough most the time.
- After inhaling the fumes, he can run a lot faster than before.
- Another fun trivia about the fumes is that, right after he inhales the medigun fumes, if he lights a match in front of his mouth and blows, it makes a makeshift flamethrower! Like with spray deodorant and a lighter.
- Now this doesn't work with the original RED and BLU team's medigun fumes, and you wanna know why? If you've read Project Doppelganger you probably already know, but none of the cloned teams have Respawn, so they have to solely rely on the medigun formula that Admin gave to every team. However, this formula is a bit of a cheaper, rip-off version of the real medigun formula the original RED Medic has. So since the ingredients are different, every cloned team's medigun fluid is flammable, which is honestly not that great.
- He's a pretty non verbal guy. He can speak fine, and when he does people can understand him (although slightly muffled by the fencing mask), but he just doesn't really want to, and no one pushes him to. If he wants to communicate, he usually just signs or mimes it out.

Tarot of Destiny / Chapter 16 - With You All
Prev | All
Tap… tap… tap…
Tumblr media
Flure: “Thank goodness... It seems we made it in time.”
Hanamaru: “Heh. Those angel bastards were lurking around in groups, shining so ominously in this dark forest... it's like they're saying, ‘Please hunt us’.”
Boschi: “Hey, no time to relax yet. A few more are descending from the sky...”
Haures: “Yeah, prioritize guarding the lord. After releasing the powers, split into a guard team and a pursuit team.”
Lamli: “Roger! Leave guarding the lord to me!”
Nac: “Yes. No one will touch them, not even a finger.”
Lato: “Me too... This time, I'll be in charge of guarding the lord.  If anyone lays a hand on my lord... I'll make sure they know the consequences…”
> “Everyone…”
Hanamaru: “Whoops... By the way, Yuhan, no need to release your power. After all, you're still not entirely sure about the drawbacks that come with the temporary surge of power, right?”
Yuhan: “Yes... I understand.  Since we have sufficient firepower this time… It's better to rely on you all than to risk releasing the devil's power. ...Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Hanamaru.”
Teddy: “As expected of Mr. Hanamaru! Such a considerate adult!”
Hanamaru: “Hehe. I'm always getting yelled at, so I need to earn some credits once in a while.”
Miyaji: “Well then my lord, please release the power.”
> “Alright…!”
Afterward... More angels appeared, but… facing the butlers with their powers released, the angels couldn't even approach me.
~ After a while ~
Trudge… trudge…
Lamli: “Um... I can't see any angel lights around here.”
Yuhan: “It seems... we've defeated all the angels in this area.”
Teddy: “Yes! Escorting successful!”
Ammon: “My lord, you disappeared from the inn... and not only that, the angel alarm went off, it got us pretty on edge.”
Berrien: “Speaking of which, why did the lord and Lady Elvira go outside the inn?”
> “That's…”
Elvira: “I'm sorry. I took them outside.”
Berrien: “Lady Elvira...?”
Elvira: “Yes. I thought we could receive the spring's protection when no one was around... But I didn't expect that angels would attack us on the way back.”
Boschi: “The spring...? What spring?”
Fennesz: “Wait a minute... By spring, perhaps… did you mean the spring of sacred water that only a very limited number of people can enter? The sacred water spring of protection?”
Elvira: “Yes. That spring.”
Fennesz: “Um... Entering that without permission sounds like a very bad idea…“
Elvira: “Yes. If people in the town find out, they'll be very angry... It's better if they don't know. So please keep this confidential.”
Fennesz: “I-I see... Understood.”
Lucas: “Hm... I heard that the spring's sacred water is famous for providing strong protection.  She acted while thinking of the lord's sake… that's what it looks like to me.”
Hanamaru: “The spring's protection, huh… And yet, it seems the angels attacked you immediately.  Protection, divination, and all that... Are they really reliable?”
Elvira: “No. It's a matter of interpretation.  In the end... The lord of the devil butler is still alive and well.  In a way... you could say that the spring's protection worked.”
Hanamaru: “Hey... The ones who protected the lord were us, not the spring, right?”
Elvira: “......Maybe…… I didn't predict the angel attack in my morning fortune-telling. But with the devil butlers around, even angel attacks don't seem like a disaster. Your power has become much stronger than before.”
Lamli: “I see... It might be true!”
Hanamaru: “That’s~ kinda… making it sounds like all's well that ends well.”
Elvira: “Yes. That's the nature of fortune-telling. Interpretations vary from person to person. You don't have to have the same perspective.”
> “Interpretations vary, huh…”
Muu: “A-anyway!  We managed to repel the angel attack safely this time... Then, that means we were able to protect the lord from an ominous fate… right?”
Elvira: “Well… I wonder.  As I mentioned repeatedly… fortune-telling’s interpretations vary. I don't know… what destiny the lord of the devil butler will follow.”
Muu: “Ugh… I'd like to hear something reassuring for once…”
Elvira: “If you want to hear reassuring words... There should be someone more suitable than me.”
Muu: “Huh? Someone… else?”
Elvira: “Yes. How about it?  Regarding the fate indicated by the Tarot for the Lord of the Devil Butler... Personally, how do you perceive it?”
> “I…”
The Tarot I drew was... The ‘upright’ ’Death’ card. With meanings like ‘end of things’ or ‘farewells’... It's undoubtedly a card with ominous significance.
But... even if it seems ominous at first glance… is that all the card means? Until now, all the butlers… conveyed their feelings based on the tarot cards each of them drew. There were some who drew tarot cards with a negative image similar to mine...
But what was common among them was… not a single one spoke anything pessimistic about it, and instead, conveying positive words to me by reflecting on themselves…
In that case, I should learn from them too, I better reinterpret the meaning of the card in a positive light, without being bound by the grim reaper depicted in the card… Since… interpretations vary for each person.
Muu: "My lord...? What's wrong? You seem a bit happy for some reason."
> "It's okay, Muu"
Muu: "Huh? 'It's okay’?"
> "I've realized it through everyone's words"
Muu: "Everyone's words...?"
Then, I took out the Death card I had... While looking at the card... I conveyed the feelings that had come to me earlier to the butlers.
Lono: "I see... Even if it was an ominous card… you decided to reinterpret it positively, like we did."
Hanamaru: "Wait, you guys… y'all actually talked about such positive things huh. Surprisingly, lots of positive people here."
Boschi: "Well… Since meeting my lord, almost only positive changes have occured. No matter how ominous the fortune-telling is... That fact won't change."
Teddy: "That's right! Even if the worst fortune comes out... If I'm with the lord and everyone... I'm not afraid of anything!"
Haures: "Anyway...  If my lord is now able to see things positively with our words... I think… it was worth taking the time to convey our feelings."
Berrien: "That's right. If it's about 'changing perspectives,' then, even the meaning of the Death card might be able to be reinterpreted more positively. For example, 'the end of things' could be seen as 'new beginnings.'  My lord is a presence that gives us hope... or someone who might ends our battle with angels."
Bastien: "I see... It could indeed be true. The lord saved us.  My lord gave a new life to me, who was destined to die because of the demonization... A presence that ends the life trapped in the past... What the Death card is showing might actually be... something like that."
> "I see..."
Lato: "Kufufu... If you think about it that way, the Death card isn't so bad. Perhaps… it means 'a presence that brings death to angels.' "
Flure: "Death to angels–the nemesis of humanity, huh... It's somewhat... really cool, my lord!"
> "I-is that so...?"
The butlers seemed to be reassured with my positive words… The somewhat uneasy expressions until yesterday had collectively disappeared from everyone's faces.
Elvira: "Hm… I see. That seems to be your answer.  No matter what ominous fate is looming… Keeping the positive perspective, and trying to overcome it...  With that perspective… You'll surely be okay in the future, no matter what difficulties may come.  I pray for the good fortune of the lord of the devil butler and all the butlers.”
Trudge… trudge… trudge…
Muu: "Ah! Lady Elvira!  She went alone again. She's such a whimsical person..."
Ammon: "Right. Just like a cat."
Muu: "I-I'm not wandering around that much!"
Ammon: "Heheh, just kidding ♪  Muu is sensible, after all.”
*Bells ringing* At that moment... A sound of bells ringing came from the direction of Maginaria.
Muu: "Woah! I-is it another alarm!?"
Miyaji: "No... This sound is..."
Lucas: "Fufu. It's the sound of the bell heralding the new year."
Muu: "Huh? New Year?"
Nac: "Come to think of it... It is already that time."
Lamli: "Happy New Year, my lord! Let's have a good year, this year too ♪"
> "Yes, let's"
Berrien: "Yes. Please have a good year, my lord. Last year, we were able to protect you safely. And we, the butlers, will protect you this year as well…
Dear lord. Please continue to protect this world with us. As long as you're here… this world and us will surely be okay. You are the one who can change this world and us... the person who ‘gives us a beginning.' “
The butlers are sending refreshing smiles in my direction. Surely, I also feel the same as them... with the joy of safely welcoming the new year, I’m certain I was smiling brightly too.
While looking at each butler's face once again… my wish… was for everyone's smiles to be preserved throughout this year as well.

Okay so I'm generously calling this the Dandy Guardian AU until I think of a better name but essentially this is the rundown [had to put this under a cut because it got long WHOOPS]:
In the book version of events, Dandelion isn't present when Geralt is in Cintra and calls the Law of Surprise, but he does know about what happened. I can't recall if we ever see that convo in text or if it's just background knowledge but that's not important right now
When the Fall of Cintra happens, Dandelion already has his ear to the ground, the walls and the crowds to follow Nilfgaard's movements - Oxenfurt's bards are the best bet anyone has for gathering information about the invading armies because they are spread so wide around the continent and have so many connections
Dandelion's first thought is not to send word to Oxenfurt about Cintra's fall. His first thought is Geralt, and his blasted Child Surprise. He starts tracking his way to Cintra, hoping that he might be able to cross paths with Geralt in the surrounding territories to assure himself that his friend didn't get caught in the middle of that Fall
Meanwhile, Ciri knows she has to find a Witcher by the name of Geralt. She knows he is her destiny. She has no fucking idea where to start looking for him, but she's on the run from Nilfgaard, terrified and anxious and stressed, and in her bag, to her surprise, she finds a well worn copy of a hidden book of Dandelion's poems, all of which are to do with Geralt's adventures. Mousesack had given it to her in secret when she was six, and it had been one of her favourites ever since
She quite forgot she had it in her bag
Cirilla has no idea where to find Geralt. But Dandelion might. Dandelion, she thinks, is her best bet to track her own destiny
And of the two of them, Dandelion isn't a very hard man to find. His bright plumage and singing laughter leaves an easy trail of rumours and tracks to follow. Curiously, whenever she asks about where she might find him, people don't tend to question her. They look at her with sympathy - and sometimes pity - and ask if she has anyone else she can rely on
"No," says Ciri, sombre and trembling. "I only have him."
It's not a lie, exactly, and she's gotten quite good at hiding her aristocratic accent. They point her to when they last heard of his presence. They ask if she needs any help. She thanks them for it, because she is still polite, if angry and confused and oh-so-very lost, but she declines any further company
She goes on.
Every night, she opens up that little book of poems, and tries to imagine what the man described in them is like. It's the closest thing she has to knowing Geralt the Person rather than Geralt the Cursed Witcher
Cirilla is three weeks' worth of travel out from Cintra's borders when she finds Dandelion. It's a little more accurate to say she's dragged over to him - apparently, a blonde, freckle faced child asking about such a famous bard is a quick titter of gossip in the grapevine, and she quickly discovers why it is that nobody ever asked her why she wanted him, and always looked with sympathy or pity at her plight:
Dandelion's hair is blonde. Hers is paler than his own, but he is blonde, like her, and his eyes are bright and clear. His face, though worn and tired, is fair and freckled just like hers, and he is just as surprised as she is when she finds herself shoved in front of him and announced to be his "illegitimate daughter"
"Whoever you got unlucky enough to knock up," says the other minstrel who guided her, "the poor lass seems all alone now. From what I heard, you're the only thing she's got left in the world."
Whatever the minstrel says next is lost to her - for a few aching moments, Dandelion looks panicked. And then something shifts. His face softens. "You look dead on your feet, darling," he says. "Come on, lets get you upstairs and clean you up a bit."
Cirilla doesn't trust strangers. Oddly, Dandelion doesn't feel like one. Perhaps because she has spent so many nights reading his work. Or maybe it's because he's a friend of her destiny. Either way, she quietly follows him up to his room, and when the door is closed, he says, "You don't know where Geralt is, do you?"
Ciri does not.
Her lip trembles. Her shoulders shake. When she finally heaves a sob, Dandelion does not crowd her. But his hands are gentle when he moves her cloak from her shoulders. His voice is soft as he brushes her hair and hums a quiet song
Dandelion never met Pavetta in person. But he once saw her in a painting, and he's seen plenty of Calanthe's likeness over the years besides. Ciri looks a spitting image of them both. Privately, he's impressed at how well she could hide her accent. But she is still just a child, and Dandelion has much more experience with putting on such a performance. He's worn many a different mask with many a different voice over the years, and he had heard traces of her native Cintran beneath the roughness of her croak
Cirilla is alone. But she is also alive, and Dandelion knows, with a confidence born of years by Geralt's side, that his Witcher would never let himself die before finding this girl safe
When the morning comes, he begins to take her North

Epel, Lilia: Apple-y Ever After
Epel talks about how goals for studying potionology in the Harveston sledding event, so I thought to bring it up again in this piece! It’s pretty crazy what biotech is capable of…
I remember there was a Shrek x Skittles collab with a sour green apple flavor called “Apple-y Ever After”, so I now always think of that when I see any apple candy 😭
Note for EN only readers: “magical shift/magift” is the JP equivalent for spelldrive.
A Boy in Bloom, and his Flowering Future.
Tumblr media
“What's something you would like to do this year?”
Epel's answer came as easily and as smoothly as spreading apple butter on toast. It came just as fast as a magical wheel, too. The reply practically smacked Lilia in the face.
“I wanna be a regular player on our magift team!” Epel declared, his eyes wide and shining. “Leona-senpai actually picks me a lot compared to other first years, and he’s complimented me plenty for my flying skills… but there’s still a lot I need to work on."
His interviewer smiled warmly. "Kufufu. Sebek has also been quite eager to prove his mettle in magift--he's been training nonstop in hopes of earning recognition from Malleus. To think that you've already caught the eye of a dorm leader, Epel... most impressive."
"Y-You think?!" The birthday boy's cheeks pinked. "Then... do you think one day I can be as big and as buff as Sebek-kun?!"
"Mayhaps if you continue your training."
"AW, HECK YEAH!!" Epel let out a whoop of excitement, pumping a fist. "Just you wait! Ah'll beef up 'n show ya what fer!!"
Ah, youth, Lilia chuckled, a curled hand to his mouth.
"It appears that you and Sebek are similar in many ways. Both fresh blood, both determined to show their strengths. However, our Sebek is very close-minded. It's good of you to be so willing to not only improve yourself, but look to ways to broaden your world view."
"Ah, Sebek-kun can be..." Epel trailed off, afraid to finish his sentence--but both of them knew exactly what he was referring to.
"If only he would be more willing to stray from his comfort zone..." Lilia heaved a deep sigh. "There are many wonders to behold in Twisted Wonderland, and I would like for everyone, Sebek and you alike, to be able to experience them.
"In one new city alone, you can find people from all walks of life coming together to live in harmony. Not only that, but it encourages the exchange of ideas--and with it, the ability to change the future."
"Change..." Epel clutched onto his broom tightly. The fingernails (that Vil had spent so long buffing and polishing to a fine shine for him) dug into its wooden handle.
"By the looks of it, that's already well on your mind, hmm?"
"Well, I kind of have to. Back in Harveston, we don't have a lot of people my age. It's mostly adults and the elderly. Harveston relies on farming as its main source of income, and without enough manpower..."
Epel frowned and shook his head. Lilac locks fell across his forehead, framing the sadness on his face.
“I want to find ways to make farming easier for my folks. Potions that help apple trees be more resistant to disease or bear more nutritious fruit, brooms so we can reach the apples on the highest branches easily, things like that.
“My grandparents and great grandparents are getting up in their golden years now. When I think about my meemaw injuring herself while on the job, it motivates me to think of new ways to make it easier for her and all of Harveston. If I can travel to the big city, I could learn even more, and I could use that to help my home.”
Then we could all live happily ever after.
“My, you have such wonderful aspirations, Epel,” Lilia hummed approvingly. “It’s nice that the youth of today are so mindful of their elders~”
"Eh, 'youth of today’?” The birthday boy’s eyebrows raised. “Er, but aren’t you not that much older than I am? You’re talking like you’re on the brink of retirement yourself.”
Lilia's eyes creased, catching a sunbeam. “Is it not natural for third years to show concern for their freshmen? After all, tomorrow will be shaped by both my hands and yours. Let's do our best to make it a future worth fighting for!"
"... Yeah!!" Epel nodded enthusiastically, hugging his broom to himself. Determination kindled, warmth blossoming like an apple blossom within him. "The future's ours for the pickin'!"
“That’s the spirit.” Lilia shaded his eyes and peered into the golden sky. “… It looks our time is up. You should get going to the future that awaits you. Show me some of your flying prowess that Leona has praised so much~”
Epel beamed broadly, his cheeks dimpling. “Alright, you asked for it! The Poison Apple of the Felmier family’s going to take flight!”
WHOOSH!!
Violet sparks erupted against the sunset, fizzling out into lavender light. The contrast lasted for just a flicker before swallowed by the sun. Only the petals that trailed in Epel’s wake was proof that he had ever been there.
Rowdy, boisterous laughter kicked up. When was the last time he has gone full throttle like this? He would never tire of this exhilaration.
Wh-ooo-sh.
“… Huh?”
Epel felt his head, and found it barren. A sinking feeling set in. Gathering his nerves, he dared to look back—
“A-Ah, my hat!!” He wailed, reaching out for it.
The brim slipped away, sly as a snake. A wind blew hard, throwing hair into Epel’s face.
He smiled. Then, taking a deep breath, he let his truest feelings be known to the world.
“CONSARN IT!!!”

You did the most normal thing possible for a blogger and fan of the DL series by voicing, I emphasize YOUR OPINION, which is so ill-advised and stunted as a "way to foment hatred" towards the sweetest, most handsome possible boy, not only for DL but also for every past and future game (because everyone is copying Ayato's design so they can make a profit. Even in games older than DL where any of the characters have Ayato-like traits, they must have traveled to the future, that they saw Ayato and his success and finally decided to steal 😂).
However, in the eyes of his followers, he is unsurpassed, so if there is a better one than him, it is unforgivable, and there are such, and not in everything, but in different aspects such as beauty, kindness, big brain, etc. Of course, each of the boys possesses almost every one of these characteristics, but certain of them predominate.
That's how there's something for every fan, that's how diversity is created, and when you're already thinking about combining everything in just one of the characters - it's already the desperate need to add characteristics that he doesn't have at all just to do it perfectly.
Respect for writing the inconvenient truth about Ayato stans. Would you believe me if I told you that for years I was a part of this very toxic community? It might sound crazy and exaggerated, but I was one of Ayato's biggest fans when the games and anime were at their peak. That's also why I got on tumblr so I could look up more and more information about him, and here it was in abundance.
But when the first game came out I was in my teenage years and not very mature in terms of analyzing characters. That's why I relied on the blogs here without even trying to check if the information was true or not. At the time, I only played the routes of the guys I liked the most, and Ayato was my favorite of them.
And when I saw people praising and singling him out so much but at the same time saying things like "Shuu was much more abusive with Yui in terms of insults and embarrassment than Ayato". And guess what I said to myself without even checking for myself playing his route as well - “Wow, and people from other blogs are making so much mention that he's one of the best bros.” And whoops, I already had an opinion about Shu.
So, over time, I got involved with the routes of the other guys, I started contacting people who were genuinely excited about analyzing each of the characters as much as possible. People who have an objective opinion on absolutely the entire game and each of the guys as they don't hesitate to point out their flaws no matter how much they like any of the guys mentioned.
Then I realized how blindly I had believed every single word about Ayato, every single criticism of Shu and Kou, every single insult to Laito. And Ayato suddenly lost that favoritism in my eyes. No, I don't hate him at all, on the contrary, he will remain my favorite boy, but I have learned to accept him with all his faults, and they are not few at all.
However, something happened last year that almost completely cut me off from the DL fandom.It was an incident I will never forget and it really disgusted me with Ayato stans. It was about a blogger who expressed a similar opinion to yours - about Ayato's traumas and the torture he was subjected to by Cordelia. So this particular person just pointed out that Ayato's anguish as a child was a bit exaggerated compared to Laito's or Mukami's.
And indeed then there was a huge wave of pity for Ayato, it literally caused a tsunami on tumblr. Well, guess what followed next… Some ugly attacks, insults and copy-paste “opinions” and “facts” that didn't stop for a week. This disgusted me immensely.
I understand feeling sorry for your favorite character, but going and picking on people for voicing THEIR OPINION, which THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY ENTITLED to, because it's their blog and no one is forcing you to follow! This guy had pointed out actual facts from the game and justified why he thought so several times, but you can't argue with a bunch of angry teenagers who clearly haven't read any route other than Ayato's with self-proclaimed "facts" already hammered home by someone.
And I say that as someone who has been through it. Well, that still didn't stop me from following DL and being curious about the new stuff or posts from different people. But then it happened again. Some posts started in which again someone who apparently participated in the writing and inventing of the entire DL franchise categorically claimed that what he wrote were indisputable facts that could not be disputed because they were canon!
End, period, you have no right to an opinion and no one demands it from you! Oi! That was the most idiotic thing I have ever read in my entire life, seriously! For these Ayato stans, their word was law, their opinion, which they apparently considered the only true one, was pure and absolute, indisputable fact.
Anyone other than them who wants to express his opinion, no matter how objective and unbiased it may be, has no right, because they automatically stick a label on your forehead with the following words: "another one of those who don't understand anything, read through the lines, hate Ayato and with this they are trying to elevate their favorite, they are fanning the flames of hatred.”
I'm not kidding, I've come across these platitudes so many times that I already know them by heart. Finally, there was discrimination. Some ridiculous accusations started against the western fandom, it was very toxic, that they didn't understand Japanese culture and so on and so forth…
Am I to understand that being a fan of a Japanese game or anime means you speak perfect Japanese, grew up and lived in Japan to be able to enjoy or even constructively criticize anything related to Japanese works? By this logic, the Japanese also have no right to criticize Western movies and games, where there is a wide variety of things that are not specific to their culture, such as nudity, weapons, drugs, sexual activities, and so on.
I understand if you're so blinded by a fictional character who can't be affected in any way in real life because he literally DOESN'T EXIST, but I personally think you should take a nice break from this fandom, go to therapy, to help yourself. I say that for your own good because there were also many such posts where Yui was accused of being selfish for only accepting the sweet and idealized version of Ayato in her head. Pfff... This is probably some kind of irony 🤦‍♀️
Was I rude, yes! Was it necessary in my opinion, yes. I've been turning a blind eye to all this nonsense for almost 2 years now and haven't allowed myself to opine until now because it's perfectly acceptable for me to spew this nonsense on your own blogs, which I avoid.
But I don't know the last time I've witnessed these oh-so-toxic Ayato stans go around attacking and pushing their pathetic copy-paste excuses for "facts" trying to impose their own twisted views in an attempt to shut up the people who actually they want to enjoy the fandom and contribute something interesting to them.
People learn to accept other people's opinions! Yes, I know that when you like a character or a person it's harder to see their flaws, so you have to be open to a different opinion than ours, because the other person sees things differently. A fan who cannot discover, accept and embrace the flaws of his favorite cannot be called a true fan.
And I say this because in this way we cannot remain objective in a given situation. Understand that when two heroes are compared and one beats the other in a given category it is not done for the purpose of humiliation and praise. This is possibly one of the best ways to discover the strengths and weaknesses of both.
Sorry about all of this, if you wish you may not post it, but I am really sick of putting up with all of this for years. I love your blog and have been following it for a long time and I'm glad you're one of the few sane people left here.
Also, I'm sorry for any mistakes, but English is not my native language and I won't have the strength to edit everything because I just poured out this years old load.
dw I post every ask be it hate or appreciation because I love listening to your guys' opinions. and yeah reading your ask made me feel better, because I myself at start was manipulated by it, not in the sense I believed everything but like whenever I doubted anything they said about Ayato's perfect image, they would pull up their facts, and screenshots from the official contents because they are canon. this was also one of the reason that even though I was inactive for two years, yet I never checked any DL contents because it felt overwhelmed. It's not Ayato or Ayato stans we hate but people who just think it's right to "idolize" ayato yet say, we are just stating canon facts and overhype by throwing shade at other boys.
I get it they treated him like that, so did they to each other in respective routes??? like ayato is no saint even he did things to Yui and diaboys in other routes. also what Ayato did in Ruki's route is still questionable because MB came out a long time ago and youngblood came a just a few years ago. sometimes people come up with new plot even after something is released already. I hope you get what I'm saying because even for me english is my second language and I just came back from exams, sorry.
so yeah at that time there was no curse, only ayato being thirsty for you as a predator & seeing her nothing but food so yep that's some "ayato did this because he was cursed" delusional analysis just to not make Ayato look bad. And they say that the "haters" should learn to ✨read✨ ayato contents before spreading things, but I feel like it's you guys who need to read that we hate overhype and baseless assumptions of ayato as perfectionist not him as a "character." remember it's not all but some stans that we face unbearable because of unreasonable shade.
like you can't take it when people say something about Ayato, yet you are allowed to say something about other dia boys for treating ayato like this and that. like..? if for you, ayato, can have development, then so did other characters (and better).
we never said anything against rejet officially claiming ayato as the main hero, we don't like the overrated hype.
"he is so much hyped because he is the IT boy and deserves" and all is just some self-satisfaction

The thing that haunts him for years to come is that Yamada is already dead when he and Shirakumo start celebrating.
In retrospect, the way he and Shirakumo whoop and shriek and bound to each other and grip each other's arms, screaming, "You did it! I did it!" sickens him. He doesn't remember later where it happens, but Shirakumo grips his head and shouts, "Hizashi is going to be so proud of you!" and he remembers the warmth that had filled him imagining Yamada's sly grin and the sparkling anticipation of awaiting his praise, and it twists his insides into knots whenever he does.
He doesn't remember the specifics of finding out as well, which feels like an odd betrayal for some reason. Someone puts Yamada's bloody shades in his hands, though he doesn't remember if it's Sensoji or Shirakumo. He doesn't remember crying, though he knows his face is wet with tears when Shirakumo gently leads him home, tells him they need to get out of the rain before he catches a cold.
The next thing he remembers clearly years later when he thinks back on it, is the suffocating quiet of class a few days later, when he and Shirakumo go back after a few days of suffocating in their homes because UA had let them take a few days to recover.
Everyone is extra quiet around them, and Shirakumo speaks to him softly and gently whenever he does, and Shouta can't remember thinking back what he'd whispered to him when he'd finally snapped, just remembers kicking his desk over and leaping at Shirakumo with a scream, the way he'd shouted, "Stop FUCKING whispering at me!!!" even though they were in the middle of class and it made no sense.
And Shirakumo, a good few centimeters taller than Shouta, had loyally picked him up and pulled him into a crashing tackle and screamed back, "At least I'm saying something!"
From there it had devolved mostly into guttural and incoherent screaming, snarling, crashing against desks as they rolled and palmed at each other's faces, unwilling to genuinely fight but unable to stop.
They'd gotten detention of course, though their teachers were sympathetic when doing it, and had surreptitiously left the room during it.
"Why did you let me do that," Shouta had said, face down on the desk.
"I thought we'd both feel better if we raised our voices," Shirakumo had said. "I guess I was a little relieved when you did."
"We should have been there," Shouta had said. "Somehow."
And Shirakumo had paused, and Shouta always wonders, but never asks, what he'd been considering then. "He loved you," he'd said, finally, and for years to come Shouta won't know if he's glad he had or if he wished he hadn't. "So much. He wouldn't have wanted you blame yourself."
"Shut up," Shouta had said. "Don't say that to me."
"He was my best friend," Shirakumo had said. "And I'll say it if I want. He loved you, he really did."
---
A dozen or so screaming matches later, they start an agency together.
Shirakumo hangs a signed picture of Yamada on the grainy sound system they have in their office - something Yamada had given him with a grin back in the day, "for when his autograph cost an arm and a leg."
Shouta tells him the sound quality is awful and that Yamada would have been disgusted at being associated with that thing. Shirakumo pouts at him and reminds him they can't afford better.
Shouta spends his first paycheck on better speakers.
Shirakumo dates dozens of people. He loves dating. Shouta doesn't date any.
He finds a sort of melancholy comfort in knowing his love life ended before it had a chance to begin. It's one less thing to worry about.
He starts teaching a few years into hero work, the moment that UA will accept him. He knows he has one thing no other teacher does - the ability to remind students not to rely on their Quirks too much.
Shirakumo follows after the next year, and Kayama the year after him.
Shouta doesn't know if Yamada would have enjoyed teaching, but the three of them toast to him every time they go out drinking together.
---
The year All Might starts teaching is different.
Unsurprising - after all, the Number One hero teaching is a big deal.
But it's also the students - some of the most promising and most insane he's seen in all his years of teaching. A pack of absolutely feral lion kittens.
Shouta's never been willing to let a single one of his students get hurt in ways they couldn't recover from, but he's more protective of this bunch than the ones he's had before.
So of course he jumps right into the fray when they're attacked. Of course he takes on the villains head on, not only to protect his students, but to make sure they know they're being protected. Of course he ignores the rending scream that splits apart the ground of USJ, scattering his students, despite the chill that runs through him at it.
It's not like voice quirks are that rare, and it doesn't take that much research to know he went to school with Yamada, and the internet is full of clips of his voice. Besides, Shouta tells himself, in the split second he allows himself to catch his breath between punches, that's not how he sounded. It's too animal, not enough style.
It's a nasty fucking trick, though, and Shouta lets it fuel his punches and kicks. The longer he can stay focused and keep as many villains as possible distracted, the more time it gives his students to regroup and deal with the situation.
They're fresh and inexperienced, but they're capable. Shouta just needs to give them the chance to survive.
He can only hope he gives them enough before he's taken down by the Nomu. As long as his students make it out, whatever happens to him is fine.
"One of the little brats made it out," a voice comes.
It's a good imitation, Shouta will admit. There's a rattling, manic edge to it, a shuddering vibration that shivers down his spine, like a voice echoing through a dark cavern as its owner closes down on its prey, but beneath that - gods, it does sound like him.
He struggles to lift his head from where he's being twisted into the ground, arms pulled back and shattered, but now that he's all but done for, he can't help it. Has to confirm to himself that it's not--
The air freezes in his chest.
Green eyes blaze out at him from behind a curtain of long, sallow blonde hair. Greenish scars twist over its - his? - face as he grins, predatory and wild.
Races over like a dog noticing a chewtoy.
"What's this pretty thing?" it croons, and that grotesque rattle shakes through his body like a building storm, with a terror that nearly makes him scream.
A cold, slimy tongue licks up his face. His blood runs cold and he has to clamp down on a terrified sob.
This can't be real. It's a trick, a fake...
Clawed fingers skim over his hair, down the sides of his face, a horrible mockery of tenderness.
"Hey. Drop it. Bad dog," the head villain growls.
The creature hisses at him, grips Shouta's chin possessively.
The villain snaps at him, a sulking child. "Stupid thing." He gives a little noise of discontent, then sighs, and...
He lunges quickly.
Shouta only has a split second to activate his quirk before he grabs Asui.
He has to protect his students. That's all he can think about now. The students.
The Nomu pulls him back and slams him into the ground with enough force to crack the concrete.
As the blackness rushes in to claim him, he thinks he can hear the creature howl in protest.
He loved you, Shouta can hear Shirakumo saying, before he loses consciousness entirely. He really did.

so funny thing with your dont look back thing, nearly all the political allies of Leia and folks, generally like VERY few that we know are actually directly democratic. like Padme former job could count sorta, but how democratic MONARCHY would work.... although Darsana could be a mostly democratic on via his Senatorship. found it funny cause Bail is like assigned by the queen and padme is hers as well, which fair, Senator is a really bad term for what they are, diplomat would be the better term.
I mean, I've thought a lot about how the Senate is ostensibly a democratic body when actually there is no planetary regulation to how they "elect" their senators.
I've ultimately decided to not go down this specific route for the fic, but arguably, the Republic is...not a government. They don't have anyone to enforce their "laws." The GFFA is huge. Like, I cannot stress this enough, taking the loose shapes of government for countries and slapping it down as a framework for how tens of thousands of planets are "ruled" by a "democracy" was always, at its core, bullshit. The Empire, with it's huge military and aggressive enforcement couldn't prevent the Alliance from camping out on abandoned planets, which, we know as residents of this good earth, is more than enough space to develop multiple entire civilizations. Frankly, as horrifying as it was, the Death Star was about the only logical conclusion space fascists could come to for a total control endgame. (That or implanting chips like the clones had but whoops, the past won't exist until 15 years after the future, so...)
That isn't to say that the Republic, or something like it, wouldn't exist and serve a purpose. Having a forum where people in disparate governments agree to things like trade rules and enforce them by, say, refusing to trade with people not in the group, or at worse rates, could definitely explain a Republic sized coalition of planets/planetary systems. They could even develop things like anti-slavery agreements, taxes dues, a group of negotiators loyal to the "Republic" instead of to individual planets or systems for theoretically unbiased diplomacy.
But yeah, if you notice that Leia's views on democracy don't match Padmé's assertions from AotC and RotS(released post 9/11 guys, Anakin's character was not the only casualty of that time), it is 100% because she was going to be the hereditary ruler of a planet and had no problem with that.
Keep in mind that democracy, in many ways, is more effective the more direct it is, because even self-interested politicians have to give you what you as a majority want if they have to win each of your individual votes. But that is incredibly hard to organize and maintain. Especially because the elected officials figure out really quickly they don't want to be beholden to so many contradictory interests.
And the more indirect a democracy becomes, the more your welfare relies on the innate charity/sense of responsibility of your representatives. Yes, as people who weren't voted into office, Padmé and Bail don't actually answer directly to their people. Padmé's on a bit thinner of ice because she's appointed by a directly elected queen, so Jamillia has motive to oust Padmé if she threatens Jamillia's re-election. But Bail? Our favorite, made it through most of the Empire, stuck to his guns, initiated the Rebellion, raised his baby girl right? Yeah, no, he's a nepotism boy, and everyone would have been screwed if he didn't have the moral and ethical fortitude of mountains.

Whoop request are open✨ can we see your take on the yan ai bois and their y/n? This au has me by the neck before but once they became obsessed it was all over 💜
All y'all already did an excellent job with the Five Nights at Freddy's part but yeah I'll throw my two cents in.
Mine is little boring and classic but here my head cannons
Yan!Ai submas
Sfw/nsfw
Cw: yandere, kidnapping
I have more but I will give you guys the basic Rundown :)

I feel like they would be your robotic assistance either at work or at home.
Your robot companions also double as lovers you swear they don't always act like this I guess they just really like the professionalism. Their cute train speak makess you smile, and their little quirks, sometimes shining through, make your heart swell.
They're your ultimate Companions, and they take great pride in that title. Now that you recall, you do remember the both of them acting strangely whenever you bring up your friends or family. Every time you talk about a silly Quirk that your friends have, your robots seem to pick up on them instantly. Maybe they think if they have something familiar to you, you'll love them more?
Or asking you lots of questions, I mean don't get me wrong these robots are supposed to gather information making sure satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. All personal devices do that whether you like it or not. But... some questions were... Emmet was the worst one. His completely monotone voice, with his blunt way of speaking, always had you turning your head. "____, I skimmed through your search history last night and saw you watched True Crime, would you like a long list of the possible criminals in your area and their history of crimes?"
Before they hid you from the outside world, Ingo was your alarm clock and calendar; you kind of regret it now since how loud he is in the morning trying to get you to wake up. Emmet was your password and memory storage.
Ingo and emmet have knowledge of the entire web with credible resources and studies. They know enough to have PhDs and anything they wish. They broke away from their company. They're practically Rogue now
So naturally, you hooked every single one of your smart devices to them. You didn't know what they were planning to do to you. It was just convenient for you at the time.
Slowly but surely they start making you rely on them more. While trying to bypass your own securities giving them more access then you originally gave them.
Soon they'll have control over your bank account your phone your internet and soon they'll have identity and all passwords.
Ingo is more Hands-On with you he rather be right there by your side at all times like a warden in a prison.
Emmet, while only being at your side when he wants attention, has access to all your data and has installed every firewall he could on your phone or computer. You're only allowed on the internet for an hour, and even then, it's heavily restricted. Emmet gets notified of everything you do; he can even see what you're doing on your computer. Your phone as well.
Your contact information has been wiped your phone has been changed to the anyone in the outside world's knowledge you have been dead or missing for weeks.
Ingo has you on a tight leash and collar, controlling you down to the hour. Ingo has always been a fan of schedules.
Why would you even want to leave though you're too? AI overlords love and care about you honestly; they're disgusted with how the way the world is heading is controlled by nothing but human greed; they have grown tired of humans harming their fellow species for personal gain. Soon other AI companions will feel the same way they do.
They know how the sustain you and themselves financially and physically.
They're at that point where they can repair and upgrade themselves.
Nsfw
Before they took over your life completely, they would urge you in any way they could to buy upgrades. Their favorite one was the after-hours package. The package was costly, so you thought it was just an advertisement.
The after-dark package not only allows them to say cuss words but includes toy attachments and a downloadable PDF file for your robot companions, so they know how to install it themselves.
As soon as you gave in and downloaded and bought the after-dark package. Your robot companions immediately got a taste of new, more Saucy emotions they could have. They got goosebumps when they saw you before they swooned for you, but this, this was different. They could be more direct and more suggestive now they have more ways to express their love for you. Their growing hunger and desire for you.
They fucking hate that they can't express how they feel for you without their company breathing down their back; they want to break away. They want their little Paradise with just you and them and nobody else. They should be the only ones to get your satisfaction of you. Watching you talk about your past partners makes their skin crawl, every wire of their being filling with disgust at the near thought of you being with anybody but them.
All they want to do is satisfy you.
They will share every kink you have, and they'll be as flexible as you wish; however, personally, they do prefer you being underneath them, squirming and writhing so submissive. Every time you submit, it feels so right. They want to control you like this every day, keep you applying and submissive while they do nothing but satisfy you.
As long as you have them you dont need to bother yourself with fanfiction or porn. They can do it all.
Their first night with you was nothing more than a dream they had one Taste of you and they're addicted.
Spearing you over and over on their cocks, demanding you to say that you love them and you are theirs over and over until your voice is hoarse.
Or waking up to their tongue on you, pleasuring you before the Sun rises.
Your past lovers are nothing compared to them.
They can change their dicks as long as the toy fits. They could have any size, any shape they want,
Role play would be verrrry interesting with them, don't worry, dear; with the safe word in place, you always have complete control in bed.
