Keep All Your Worries Aside

Alastor on his partner's birthday - Headcanons

Warnings: implied power imbalance, slight manipulation

MDNI

Alastor used to adore birthdays when he was alive. It was the perfect time to get to know people; friends and targets alike.

He also got the chance to earn the person's favor, which was never a downside to him. He never knew when it would be useful to have those people on his side, after all.

Whenever he had partners in his lifetime, whether just for show or out of genuine care for their company, he spoiled the ever living heart out of them. Dinner, gifts, dancing, his absolute undivided attention—whatever they wanted and more he made sure to give it all to them.

It was unconsciously an addicting habit for him. He loved the way it made them so happy. How he knew he was the cause of their smiles and hence could just take it away any time he wanted to. How it made them so thankful to get to spend such a special time with him.

After he died, however, the excitement over birthdays was all but left behind in the mortal part of his existence.

Alastor didn't see the point of celebrating a birthday, specially when in Hell. After all, he was hard pressed to even find anyone that was happy about being born into this world, only to be stuck in such a miserable cesspool in the end.

And besides, not a lot of wandering souls even revealed that much of themselves anymore. Something as personal as a birthday was often kept a secret, in fear of it being used against them somehow.

Perhaps, sarcastically, he has brought up the idea here and there. If he knew it brought some sort of anguish or misery to some lowly sinner, why wouldn't he? 

But when it was his darling partner who just openly shared such information with him? Oh, he just couldn't help but to be interested.

Such a little act showed how much they trusted him, and he couldn't just let that go unpaid, could he? It would mean he would owe them, after all.

Alastor found that his old habits came back a lot faster than he expected them to. He found himself dragging his darling out all around the pentagram—whether they wanted to go or not—showing them off, showing them the sights, showing them a generally great time with his arm looped around theirs.

He bought every single thing they even glanced at, but he didn't dare burden their arms with holding it all. No, he had his shadow creatures trailing behind, carrying all his gifts for them.

Couldn't he just simply bring them into their room at the hotel? Of course! Easily so with a snap of his fingers. But that wouldn't be as fun as getting to show off just how well he could provide for his partner.

It's only when his dear finally asked him to ease up on the fanfare—they feared the trail of shadows would cause a traffic accident at this point—did Alastor finally stop and just transported their gifts to the hotel.

He took them out dancing, shopping, drinking. Always had a hand on them no matter what, to keep them close.

He found that old giddy feeling in his chest seeing his darling smile because of him—knowing he alone caused their happiness.

And when they thanked him at the end of it all? Said those oh so humble words

"I have no idea how to repay you for all of this."

Well, no one could blame him when his grin stretched just a tad bit wider. Eager, excited, thrilled. He hadn't exactly set out to earn any favors on their birthday, it was simply to pay back the trust they gave him.

But hey, he wouldn't turn down having his darling in debted to him. And he could certainly think of a few ways they could return the favor.

It is my birthday and if I say I want fluffy Al, I'm getting fluffy Al.

‘dont shower during a thunderstorm because you can get struck by lightning’ is one of those things that feels viscerally untrue and yet

my best boy Kaul Hilo was written so well. so much baby girl put into him, so much cunt. so much love and unweavering loyalty in his family. he gives it all of himself to them even tho he knows he’s putting in more devotion than theO others. and yet, he doesn’t really try to understand them, he won’t let them be outside of what he pictures for them, what he thinks is right and would do for his family. and the author does such a good job of showing how much he adores them from his perspective but won’t try to be more understanding, to really see their struggles and who they are. he’ll jump to forgiveness and forgetting  but won’t consider seeing it from their perspective. if he did that, his relationship with others would be so much better but he doen’t see it !!!!

#*screams into the void* #baby boy i luv u so much #my flawed devoted baby #at the beginning my enjoyment of the series is directly linked to his presence #it still is #he better not die #kaul hilo #jade city #green bone saga #i read green bone saga

Now... I know I'm late... but I was honestly hoping they were joking. A mistake on my part, I admit. One I won't make again.

Why does colour not mean shit when characters are flat out saying on page in print that black does not suit 🌸, and using colour theory is a stupid way to 'prove points' ...

But when it's in favour for THEM? "Who.. who said colour theory is stupid? Clearly not me. SJM post pink image. CLEARLY telling us the next book is 🌸's !! I can't wait!! 🌸/🦇 CONFIRMED!!"

Honestly, at this point, I'm waiting for 🌸 to be wearing 🍊 or has a vision of a 🔥 and they find a way to link it back to their ship. "OMG 🌸/🦇 CONFIRMED!!"

Because of course 🍊 and 🔥's are related to 🦇/🌸 right? Totally not 🦊's thing or colour at all.

It will happen. I'm like 93% sure it will. I'm seeing that they're APPARENTLY claiming that 🎶 is an 🦇/🌸 thing, when really it is a 💎/🦇 thing. And remember when they tried to claim the ❤️ beat scene?

Anyway. I don't ship 💎/🦇 ... mainly cause I don't like 🦇. But I stand with you guys. You guys are cool.

I think it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway, but I ship 🌸/🦊. That's who I ship and will always ship. That's not gonna change.

#This post started out serious #it still is #i just got carried away and had way to much using code #so... #yeah #sorry about that #the code #well i did that for me #💎 is gwyn btw #i was gonna do 🧜🏼‍♀️ #but i felt like that was too obvious #gwynriel #elucien #anti e/riel #antielriel #anti elriel

Sam week 23 — day 2, demon blood / boy king

for @suncaptor event ♡

it wasn’t just about beating Lilith, it was about saving people, avoiding the need to stab a poor persons body just to get a demon to leave them alone. Dean doesn’t understand, how could he? He’s never been biblically unclean, he wasn’t tainted since a kid, a baby, a helpless child that had demon blood dripped into his mouth as though it was a good thing, a correct thing. Sam knows what happened will never be right but maybe now he can do some good with it, he can use what Ruby taught him, help people, save people, try to change his fate so he won’t be the monster people say he’s destined to become.

totally obsessed with the idea of peter not realizing his spider sense is acting up not because he's in danger but because he's flustered around his crush

#i keep thinking about him being all jumpy and nervous and starts to avoid his crush because he doesn't understand what is going on #and the other person gets the wrong idea thinking peter is avoiding them because he realize his feelings so miscommunication !! #and eventually they confront one another and kiss !! the end #(i could have been an amazing fic writer lmaooooo) #yes this was about parkner #it still is

jamie could have the eliot scene where he tries to go talk to his dad and his dad doesn't answer, and it could be like james just got out of prison and jamie wants to go see if they can Fix Things between them now that jamie's life at least isn't so violent anymore and maybe he can help james get on track on the outside so he won't end up back in and and and

and james doesn't answer because he blames jamie for him getting caught in the first place, and jamie tells him about hacking through the door, and he doesn't answer that either but he throws something at the door and jamie flinches back all the way off the porch. and then he just goes home.

and roy's like how did it go? and jamie says it went the best it could have.

Eeeeeeeeeeee ok ok ok but. but. Here's the thing. Jamie's dad is very Nate's-dad-coded to me. So in my mind I had it going more along the lines of The Three-Card Monte job.

Like this:

Even from the street Roy could hear the laughter spilling out of the Crown and Anchor, and after a long day of reconnaissance it called like a reward in waiting.

Roy didn't mind doing legwork for a con- in fact he appreciated Ted's insistence that the team dot their t's and mind their p's and whatever else he wanted them to inflict on the rest of the alphabet. Better prep made for a safer job. Roy had worked for enough men who'd sacrifice the time upfront if it meant getting to the next score faster; he respected that Ted wasn't one of them.

As their feet sloshed through the snow, Jamie kept a running commentary on the dirt he'd dug up in the breakroom. While he'd waited for his crawlers to skim the server (which to hear him tell it, was so laughably out of date that buying something on the company's Wi-Fi ran a bigger risk than riding passenger in Colin's Fiat), he'd learned from Jeanine who'd heard from Alan that Erik-with-a-'k' Davies was the one who'd decided to pass on Jim-from-R&D's project proposal after quarterlies came in low.

Thank fuck Roy'd never had a real job. He didn't know how people put up with it. He'd rather stab his eyes out than pretend to care about breakroom gossip.

But that wouldn't stop him from doing his job. He dutifully noted all the names - Jeanine, Alan, Jim, Erik-with-a-'k' - knowing that even the smallest details could mean the difference between making a cover or blowing the con.

"Can't believe I had to use a photocopier to make copies of the building schematics," Jamie complained for the umpteenth time. He stood back to let Roy open the door for him, despite the fact that it was Roy who was carrying his duffel full of tech. "In this day and age, a company worth billions should really consider digitizing-"

Six things happened at once. Years of experience gave Roy the particular skill to parse the components of a situation in order of importance.

The most concerning, the domino that set the rest in motion, was how Jamie's body froze, a fear response where he'd been at ease a second ago.

Instinct had Roy stepping in front of him, an arm slung protectively over his chest to hide, block, or push him away, whatever was called for.

His eyes hit all the exits: no one blocking the kitchen or alley, and the door behind them remained clear.

Identify the people of interest in the room, the other potential targets he might need to shield: Keeley and Rebecca at the bar, their heads thrown back in laughter. Colin, pleasantly bored or bored-ly pleasant, pouring out a lager for an older bloke.

Assess the older bloke; the only other other person sitting at the bar. Grey slicked back hair and a receding hairline. Steel-toed boots, worn through and poorly kept, so not an actual laborer. Clean, new denim and a mass market coat. An unspoiled duffel bag on the seat next to him. Fresh out of prison, then.

Either hearing the door swing open or feeling the cold breeze that gusted in behind them, the older man turned to look over his shoulder. Head-on he seemed younger than lines on his face implied, and his cheeks flushed ruddy with drink. He grinned (Manchester dental work), and under the guard of Roy's arm, Jamie flinched.

"Well, well, well. Look who's decided to show himself." The old bloke chuckled; it didn't reach his eyes. "If it ain't my own flesh and blood."

no longer saying the way the duffers are writing will and mike’s story is not good enough representation because it’s been planned since season 1. stranger things was always for freaks and people who don’t fit in(gay people) and they were writing a gay love story for gay people and literally every gay person has picked up on will’s feelings. IT WAS NEVER FOR THE CISHETS BRO THEYRE WRITING A STORY SO MANY OF US RELATE TO. MAYBE THATS FOR A REASON

#IT WAS ALWAYS FOR THE QUEERS #IT STILL IS #volume 2 definitely didn’t use its full potential but those scenes with will were so ungodly relatable #not the duffers fault that cishets suck ass #though im definitely still critiquing their other writing choices #byler
