Pairing: Jimin/F Reader Word count: 4.1k Warnings: demon/devil, religious themes, paranormal, oral sex (f), unprotected sex, spooky stuff

a/n: hi so um this is unedited and probs littered with typos. i do not wish to undermine anyone’s beliefs or religion; this is simply fiction based off christian and catholic ideologies. please enjoy.

"Is this such a good idea?" your friend protested, her face pale and expression terrified.

"It's just a game, Julieta," you roll your eyes, placing the ouija board on the floor of your bedroom and sitting down in front of it, positioning the planchette in the centre of the board. Your friend sat down with you, desperately wanting nothing to do with this. But she couldn't leave you to do this alone. "What's the worst that can happen?" you tease. "My abuela warned me about these though, Y/N. She said you can let in all kind of bad stuff..."

You rolled your eyes again.

"Just put your hands on the planchette," you instructed as you placed your fingertips just barely on the edge. She mirrored you from the other side of the board, her fingertips shaking slightly. You took a deep breath, and spoke to the spirits...

"Hello. We'd like to contact you. Talk to us, are you here?" You call out. Nothing. No movement. You sigh. "We mean you no harm." Nothing again. "Is there anyone here?"

You start to feel a vibration on the planchette, but you put it down to Julieta's shaking hands. She was staring wide eyed at the board, too scared to even blink.

"If there is a spirit here, move the planchette. Use our energy, or whatever. Are you here?" you call out once again. The vibrations get more vigorous, and the planchette starts to move towards the 'yes' answer on the board. Julieta's eyes widened and she started to freak out. She couldn't breathe properly, a panic attack taking over. "Are you doing that?" she asked, frantically.

"No! Are you?" you matched her tone, surprised at the sudden movement.

"Of course not!" she shouted.

"You must be!" you yelled back, angry that she was pranking you this way and lying about it. You knew this shit was fake. You knew it would never work. She was just trying to scare you. "Fine, if it's not you, who is it?" The planchette started to move again under your fingertips, spelling a word. Slowly but surely, it became obvious...

E-L-D-I-A-B-L-O

Julieta flinched back from the planchette with a shriek, tears starting to build in her eyes.

"No... no, no, no... no me gusta esto," her fear was evident on her face, and she couldn't help but let her religion and her heritage take over... "Padre nuestro,

que estás en el cielo. Santificado sea tu nombre. Venga tu reino..." she began reciting the lord's prayer in Spanish, trying to protect herself. "This is ridiculous," you muttered to yourself, not buying her theatrics.

"No nos dejes caer en tentación y líbranos del mal. Amén." The second she finished her prayer, the planchette shot across the room, hitting the far wall with a loud smack and leaving a small groove in the plaster.

The two of you screamed, and Julieta bolted out of your room as quickly as she good, running down your stairs and our you front door with you hot on her tail, trying to stop her to calm her down.

"Wait, Julieta! Come back!" you yell from your porch, but she doesn't stop. She keeps running away, down your road and around the block. There's nothing you can do; she was too shaken up.

You sighed and shut your front door, making your way back up to your bedroom to put the board away. You were still shaken, but you didn't believe in this stuff. There must be an explanation? Maybe Julieta was just trying to mess with you. Maybe there was a spirit, but there was no way you were going to believe the 'spirit' was who it said it was. There was no such thing.

The room was freezing cold when you walked back in, almost enough to see your breath. The board lay on your floor, the planchette upside down on the other end of the room. You sighed, and started to pack the board and planchette away in the box they came in.

And then, someone cleared their throat.

You froze in place, not daring to look up at whoever had just announced their arrival in your bedroom. It didn't sound like Julieta. It didn't even sound female.

"You know, you should really say goodbye before you finish with those things. Otherwise, anything can come through; like leaving a door open," a smooth male voice said. You stayed frozen in place. Who the hell was in your bedroom?

Footsteps approached you slowly from behind, where the planchette had landed. The footsteps clicked like they were made by expensive shoes. Your deductions were proved correct when the expensive shoes stopped by your side; you could see them in your peripheral vision.

The intruder crouched down beside you, holding out your planchette in his hands for you to take. You look at his hands. They look so smooth, so soft; not a single imperfection. Your eyes trailed up his arm, his neck and finally, you looked up at his face.

He looked perfectly human, but above all he looked perfectly perfect.

His hair was blonde, his skin lightly tanned and flawless. His jaw was angled beautifully, yet still looked silky to the touch. His eyes were deep brown pools that looked like a glass of whiskey, glistening as they looked at you. And then, his smile; sweet and innocent looking, showing off his pearly white teeth.

He was wearing a deep red, velvet suit paired with a black shirt, a small gold chain hanging from the points of his collar.

"Here," he held the planchette closer to you for you to take, trying to snap you out of the trance his devilishly good looks had put you under.

You took it out of his outstretched hand and slipped it into the box without a word, never looking away from his deep whiskey eyes. The two of you stood up together, still never breaking eye contact.

"Wh-who are you?" you manage you choke out.

"I have many names. I don't like many of them. I like Jimin," he grins. Many names? What the hell did that mean?

"How did you get in here?"

"You invited me. Or at least, I was passing by, and you opened yourself up to me." He turned on his heels and stepped towards your bed, taking a seat on the edge. "I just wanted to scare your little friend really," he laughed, "but something intrigued me." You stayed glued to the spot.

"What?"

"You," he looked up to you again, his smile turning to a smirk. "There's something about you; the way you don't believe in me, even now as I sit before you."

"B-but I don't know who you a-"

"Yes you do," he interrupted. "You just don't want to admit it. Come here," he instructed. For some reason, you followed his instructions, slowly stepping towards him and standing in front of him. "I'm going to show you who I am," he looked up at you with a cocky expression.

You kept staring at him, waiting for him to do something. Nothing about him changed. He didn't move. He didn't say anything. You waited, but nothing. But then, his eyes... like someone injected some kind of thick black liquid into them, they clouded over into dark spheres staring into your eyes and consuming whatever humanity was inside of you.

You stepped back in shock, fear encapsulating you. He stood up and closed the distance, stepping forward with you as you took steps back to escape his close proximity.

"Y-you're-"

"You can call me Diablo," his voice had deepened to a scarily demonic voice, like the voices you hear in paranormal horror movies. "You can call me Lucifer. You can call me the Beast. You can call me the Deceiver. You can call me Leviathan. You can call me the Devil," his eyes lost their black hue and faded back to his beautiful whiskey colour, and his voice softened back to his original tone. "But like I said, I prefer Jimin."

How could he be? He was so... beautiful? You imagined the devil to look like the portrayal of him in historic literature and art; red, scaly skin, large black horns, two hoofed feet, a long, split tongue; the beast. But here he was; a human-like, beautiful young man. It confused and intrigued you.

"But... you're beautiful," you couldn't help the words slipping out. Something about his presence made you more honest, despite being in the presence of the deceiver.

Jimin threw his head back in laughter, bellowing out of his throat.

"Now that, I didn't expect. Thank you. You seem shocked though. Do you not know the story of how I came to be?" You shook your head no, never being a religious person. But now, you weren't sure what to believe. "Take a seat my darling, let me explain."

You perched yourself on the end of your bed where he had sat previously. He stood in a few feet in front of you, ready to tell his legend.

"I was an angel. I was one of God's army of good, if you can believe that," he scoffs. "At this point I think I'm open to believing anything..." Jimin smiled at your comment, laughing to himself.

"That's why I'm beautiful, y/n. Angels are immaculately beautiful, perfect in every way. So, in the kingdom above we were celebrating the creation of earth and all living things on the sabbath. We all took our turn to speak of the beauty of our world, choosing our favourite things and thanking God for them.

When it came to my turn, I told him I was grateful for the beauty that he gave me. I was grateful for my looks. I told him I was gorgeous and he had created art the moment he breathed me into existence. He didn't like that response much. He started shouting, screaming that I was a sinner and had committed the sin of pride. When I told him that he had created all of us with perfection in mind, as we were angels, he saw red. That's where the expression comes from, by the way. And why I'm drawn as a red beast; that's god's own anger. So, I fell from grace. I wanted the recognition and the attention I deserved, but that was seen as the sin of pride. You know that's one of the seven deadly sins, I'm sure. I had sinned, and it was unacceptable. So I fell from heaven, down into the pits of a vile land, hot and burning. You know it as hell. From then on, any other angels who fell from grace, or sinners from earth after they had perished, were sent to me under the pretence that they would burn with me for eternity. Hell is nothing like that, though. Hell is a wicked place, that's true. But it's full of lust, sex, gambling, drinking etc etc. You know; FUN. Why would I, Prince of Evil, want to punish those who do bad? I want to reward them," he grinned widely.

"Sin is fun, y/n. Don't you agree?"

You stayed quiet for a moment. I mean, did he have a point? Some sin was fun, I suppose...

"Murder isn't fun," you spat, suddenly angry at a man who thought that behaviour should be rewarded. "Oh no. No no no, darling. I do not reward murderers, nor sexual offenders or those who have committed particularly cruel crimes. This is where the world is wrong about me and my ideology has been exaggerated. Those people really do burn in hell. But the smallest thing can be a sin. I mean, look at me. I liked the way I looked, and was cast out of the pearly gates. The smallest indiscretions are supposedly evil. The smallest pleasures," he steps closers to you, his eyes fixed on yours. "I am simply in the business of not denying ourselves those sinfully pleasurable moments." He took another step closer to you, close enough now to step one foot between your legs. You looked up at him as he looked down at you, lust clouding his mind. "Wh-why did you come here today, Jimin?" You asked, your voice shaking as you stared back at him. His skin had this glow to it that you couldn't tear your eyes away from. You followed it, down his jaw, his neck, to the small exposed part of his chest peeking through his dark shirt. He was beautiful. Temptingly so...

"To scare your weak willed friend. Scaring people is fun. That's why I came. You, y/n, are why I stayed." You looked back to his eyes and gulped.

"What do you mean?"

"You are, in itself, a work of art. Jehovah did well with you. Not only do I not want to deny myself the pleasure of defiling one of God's most beautiful creations that I have ever seen," your eyes widened at his words, "but I didn't want to deny you the pleasure of feeling what it's like to have a real cock between your legs, darling." Your jaw dropped. H-how did he...?

"I'm the devil, sweetheart. I know exactly what you do on a Sunday evening, alone in the house with nothing but a wild imagination and a silicone cock," he smirks, taking another mini step towards you and crouching down to your level. "And on the sabbath day, for shame." He winks.

"Th-that's private..."

"Nothing is private with me, my darling. And there's nothing to be embarrassed about. In fact, the images I have seen are a sight to behold," he lifts his hand to your reddening cheek, delicately sweeping his thumb against the soft skin. "Would you like to feel a real cock, my dear? Would you like to feel the ultimate pleasure?"

You heart raced against your chest, your brain not thinking clearly. Jimin's beautiful lips were merely millimetres away from your own, his warm breath hitting your already hot cheeks.

"Y-yes..." you couldn't help yourself. All those Sunday nights home alone with your vibrator were heavenly to say the least, but all you wanted was the touch of another. And here was a beautiful man, offering himself to you. Was he using some kind of power to manipulate your feelings? You didn't think so, nor did you care.

"Yes what, darling?" he teases.

"Make me feel the ultimate pleasure... please." Jimin smiled and stood up straight, reaching out a hand like a gentleman. You took it, and he pulled you into his arms and against his chest. He looked deep into your eyes, his free hand lifting your chin to look up to him.

And then he pressed his lips to your own.

They were so tender, plump and juicy that you got lost in his kiss. The second he started to move his lips, it was game over. You melted against him, your nervously tensed body melting against him.

He gently ran his tongue along your bottom lip, the alien feeling of the wet and warmth was something you could easily get used to. He skimmed his teeth on your bottom lip too, hooking them on and tugging at them, blood rushing to the surface to fill them out a little more.

His hands slipped down your arms, snaking to your waste like serpents. His fingers danced with the hem of your t-shirt, grazing the skin underneath and igniting a fire inside you that blazed and burned with such ferocity that you couldn't help your hands from gripping onto his neck to pull his lips onto yours hard.

Jimin gripped onto the hem of your t-shirt, lifting it over your body, splitting the kiss apart to take it off your head. He gazed down at the perfection before him, clad in a deep red bra. He chuckled to himself.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you knew I was coming today." His lips found their way to your ear, nibbling on the lobe before his lips pecked your neck, further and further down until he reached your collarbone, where his teeth bit down on the bone and mouth sucked, leaving a dark purple mark.

You threw your head back, the sensations sending a ripple effect of pleasure through your body. Jimin dropped his hands to the button of the jean shorts you were wearing, popping it open and undoing the zipper. He backed you up against the edge of the bed once again, the edge hitting the backs of your knees and making you fall to sit in front of him. He crouches, slipping off your shorts and panties.

"Lie back for me, my darling," he instructs. "I want you to feel the ultimate pleasure." You press your back to the mattress, and he lowers himself to his knees, placing your thighs on his shoulders as he leans in closer to your sex. "Darling, you're practically glistening for me already. Such a bad girl," he taunted. You took a deep breath in, but before you could breathe out slowly to steady your nerves, Jimin placed his whole mouth on your core in a large '0' shape, his tongue laying flat against your folds to taste you. You choke on your own breath, the sensation new and oh, so exciting.

He moved his lips and tongue against you as if you were a forbidden fruit he was sucking the juice from, savouring every drop. He paid particular attention to your clit as his hands worked their way around your thighs to hold you in place. His thick lips were useful for more than just kissing, it seems, as he used them with expert skill to bring you closer and closer to the edge.

You couldn't help your moans spilling from your lips along with expletives and the devil's name.

It turned him on to hear you spewing such filth, letting the pleasure take over, giving yourself to him completely.

As he drew you closer to your orgasm, your hands wound up in his perfect blonde hair, crushing his lips to you. He sucked on your lips, his tongue flicking your clit over and over. Your stomach twisted and flipped with each new feeling, until it felt it had twisted into a very tight coil, just begging to spring free.

Suddenly, Jimin bit down on your clit. Not hard enough to cause any pain, but definitely enough to cause the nerves to spasm to the point of their absolute demise, the coil in your stomach not just unravelling, but shattering from being wound too tight.

Your legs shook and your body convulsed, the noises coming from your mouth absolutely inhuman. Jimin's hands gripped onto your hips, holding them as still as he could as he still had your clit between his teeth like the sadistic demon written in all the literature.

Only once your convulsions stopped did he offer you and kind of relief, pulling his head away from your sex to stand over you.

You looked up at him, satisfied and stimulated, to see him slip his velvet blazer off, folding it neatly and placing it on your dresser beside your bed. He unbuttoned his shirt agonisingly slowly, licking his lips to taste the delightful juice you had left on them. His chest was sculpted like a Greek marble statue with the definition carved into his flawless skin.

His eyes focussed on you, out of breath and weak on your bed, and his true self took over.

The black cloud injected itself into his eyes yet again, completely taking over the iris and whites of his eyes leaving them completely black and dangerous. But you weren't scared anymore. If anything, it made the adrenaline in your system rush uncontrollably through you, and you sat up to watch him fold his shirt and put it with his blazer.

He stepped towards you, offering the last articles of clothing as yours to discard. Your shaking hands undid the button to his velvet trousers and the zipper too, before they hooked themselves in the waistband of both the trousers and his underwear.

'Hm, so even demons wear underwear...' you thought to yourself, slightly amused.

Your prize beneath his clothing was a prize indeed; the size of him larger than the substitute you were used to.

Suddenly, the demonic voice fro before was back. "Lie back, against the pillows," he ordered. You obliged without hesitation, and strangely, without fear.

He crawled between your legs again, coming face to face with you. He stared at you with his demonic eyes, like he wanted to devour you. He lips hungrily attacked yours again, his hand gripping onto your bra where the wire connects between each breast and pulling, ripping the material with ease and throwing it away.

As he manoeuvred his way to your neck again, he muttered in the same dark voice, "tell me what you want, my darling. I want to hear it."

There was no resisting this, not that you ever wanted to. You were so turned on again, wanting nothing more than to feel him inside you.

"Fuck me, Jimin. Show me what a real cock feels like," you plead.

He runs the head of his cock against your pussy, wet again with fresh arousal, before he slowly pushes himself into you.

Your walls expand to his size, nothing but pleasure erupting through you from the waist down.

Jimin growls above you, feeling his own pleasure ripple through him. He let's himself enjoy your warmth for a moment, before he starts to move his hips against you, deepening his cock and hitting you right where you needed him most.

He was a skilled lover. He had to be; he was a demon. The Prince of all the Demons. He knew where he needed to be. He knew what he needed to do. So with each thrust, he'd hit that soft spot inside you that would spark your pleasure like jumper cables being touched together.

"F-fuck," you breathe out. You can't help yourself. You moan loudly, sounding like a whore. But you don't care. You love it. And he loves it.

He picks up his pace, his demonic powers starting to bubble to the surface. His absolute strength pinned you to the mattress; his unholy speed pounded you into oblivion. Electricity flowed out of his hands, sending literal shocks to your skin as he gripped your hips.

With every devilish growl erupting from within him, something in your room was thrown against a wall. He never needed to touch anything, the power within him simply destroying your surroundings; photo frames, ornaments, a mirror, books; they flew across the room with such force as he fucked you.

As he destroyed your room, you dug your fingers into his back, pulling him closer to where his forehead was pressed against yours; his black eyes staring into your own as he continued his satanic growls.

You screamed as a new spring coiled in your stomach, impossibly tighter than before. Jimin was close, his growls getting deeper, his hips moving with such precision and such speed into yours.

"Jimin, I... Oh, fuck I want you to cum. Let it go," you begged him, not giving any kind of shit about your own orgasm, but wanting to see the devil himself reach his climax. You wanted to see the devil fall from grace once again; this time, because of you.

Jimin threw his head back, using one of his hands to rub harsh circles on your oversensitive clit. You were screaming again, the coil ready to splinter and shatter for a second time. And you hit it.

Your vision went black, your body inhumanly bending like Jimin had possessed you from the inside out. You moved like a contortionist, your lungs projecting your final screams. Jimin continued, ready to let himself go too.

He roared like some kind of animal, all the broken remnants of your belongings all over the floor levitating 6ft in the air. His body went rigid as he came inside you, your own climax simply sending him back down to hell.

He held you there as he roared, letting the unspeakable pleasure take over. His body fell on top of yours, the two of you collapsing into the sheets as the levitating debris fell to the floor once again.

The room fell silent; only your rapid breathing could be heard. You looked down at your demon, his head looking up at you and panting. His eyes had returned to their natural state, looking up at you wide and... shocked?

"What did you do to me?" he asked, confused and almost scared of you. You didn't understand. What did you to do him? That... wasn't normal for him?

"I-I... I don't know. What did I do? I don't understand." He propped himself up to look down at your face again, his face red and flushed, covered in sheen of sweat.

"It's never been like that... I am never letting you go. Something about you... I don't understand it, but you're more addictive than heroin. You're the girl who brought the devil to his knees."

This is a robbery hand over your original stuff 🔫🤠

Oh god oh jeez-

I'll put a general description of three (in varying degrees of fleshed out) under the cut because I have a l o t

Antonio da Vinci

is retroactively immortal thanks to accidentally casting a spell found in one of his late father’s notebooks in a last ditch attempt of avoiding starvation after being kidnapped and dumped in the countryside near Florence (long story). Said father being Leonardo da Vinci, of course- who orphaned him, mind you- making Antonio over 500 years old, though he’s permanently stuck in his early 30′s. Also worth noting Leonardo picked him and his best-friend-found-just-slightly-older-brother Rodolfo up off the street, housed the two, mentored Antonio in inventing and art and ultimately took him as his apprentice, and never told him they were related, instead writing it down in the same notebook for his son to read after his death (another long story.) His mother was also an angel, until Antonio's half brother Avokudos' father murdered her. Said father being Satan (many long stories.) Their grandfather is Cassiel, making their great grandparent God, and subsequently the rest of their family a wild mess of infighting, hatred, and general weirdness. Oh, and Cassiel revived seven souls of people Antonio impacted at some point in his life- one of which being Rodolfo- to help stop the princes of Hell from rising up and overtaking Earth and Heaven. Standard family business. After that whole fiasco, he still hangs around everyone, albeit after faking his death and disappearing for a few years to cope with the stress of being informed he's humanity's savior or some shit (the last long story, for now) until Avokudos convinced him to come back.

Nowadays he does a bit of this and that, only with more magic in the resume: art, poetry, demon hunting, monster researching and studying, magical artifact collecting, alchemy, mathing, inventing, general fucking around with machinery, magician stuff, "touristing," drinking on the job, trying to bed at least three sapient beings each time he travels, being bisexual, and -lie- playing music.

The first of Antonio's traits most people see are antagonistic, sarcastic, stubborn, wordy, egotistical, and cynical, if not wildly flirtatious and horny on main. He's incredibly intelligent, a certifiable genius even, and will remind you of such- though he's also prone to dumbass shenanigans and decisions. He firmly believes everything can be explained with science, despite working with magic and being magic himself in the first place. Despite his age and slight hesitation to engage beyond it suiting him, he's well aware of modern times and has kept relatively in touch with the passing of it. He absolutely loves animals- birds, snakes, and lizards especially- and can more or less understand their intentions and wants via a charm he keeps with him. If one could get past Antonio's half intentional dickish demeanor, they would discover he is friendly once he feels he can trust someone, fiercely loyal to and protective of his few friends (all of whom he considers family), and a wonderful creative. (He's also a hopeless romantic at heart.) There is, of course, some darkness to him as well; he's struggled with alcoholism for more than a century now, his self loathing rivals his already enormous ego, he's self destructive, he blames himself for the deaths of many including his wife, he thinks of himself as a magnet for tragedy and misfortune- the list goes on. All in all, he tries his damndest to cover up the centuries old wounds with a boozy, snarky, jackass facade lest anyone else get too close and find their ruin.

[I need to revamp his personal history, general story, and related characters tbh]

Johann Erik Weiss

is an ex-police officer turned private detective, born in rural Germany to Andrea and Kirk Weiss. In November of 1926. And abandoned in the cold winter night outside the town church to be raised by the priest. And smuggled to America via cargo ship by the circus he worked for to escape Nazi Germany. He’s also been invisible since birth- except for a brief stint following efforts to stop a sorcerer hellbent on bringing about the Apocalypse. There was also the whole being magically frozen by his then not quite girlfriend in 1962 and thawed out again in 2003 by government scientists to be recruited into a team for the Armageddon Prevention and Eldritch Defense Agency (which is why he was dealing with a world ending sorcerer, and other shenanigans, to begin with.)

Personality wise, Johann is aloof and coldly gruff, abrasive even, purposefully appearing distant and commonly described as a loner. He’s prone to cynicism and pessimism, wary of strangers and it’s difficult to earn his trust. Despite his past and present occupations, he’s most definitely an introvert, preferring to be left alone (even though he knows it affects him negatively.) That being said, he has learned to enjoy company again, if only that of his team and found family. He’s logical and level headed with a critical eye and an impressive knack for reading people. Though he typically appears calm and collected on the surface, he’s almost always stressed, the only clue to this being his heavy smoking habit. He has a strong sense of morality which he’ll rarely compromise on, unless it aligns in the long run with what he deems just. Subsequently, he always does his damndest to keep a promise, and always remembers important dates and details.

[His story/universe especially needs some revamping tbh]

Alouicious

is far more WIP than the other two, but the basic idea behind him is a sort of modern fairytale; a strange, long limbed, gangly individual in odd clothes and dark glasses hiding most of their features appears at the doors of folks that need help with housekeeping. If they let them in, he first asks them where he can put his coat and scarf and such, removing the items if permitted but keeping his glasses on. He then goes about cleaning, doing everything for them- including things that shouldn’t be possible for a single person- all while singing whatever they have on or- if they don’t have anything playing- their favorite kind of music. (If it’s instrumental, he just so happens to have a CD/record/whatever with him, and a portable player in the bag he definitely had with him, as he simply cannot work without music.) He doesn’t initiate conversation while working, but verbally acknowledges the person’s instructions and answers in kind if they try to speak with him. As he works, however, things only get stranger.

The people that are kind to him- patient with their requests, offering him food and drink and even help in some cases, grateful for his work- have a generally good experience, maybe with oddly specific yet accurate life advice or simply a nice time hanging out with an entertainingly strange and bendy “man.” The people that are rude- demeaning him for his line of occupation, expecting him to do everything and more, even verbally or physically mistreating him- are subtly but efficiently threatened throughout his cleaning. Usually, they fix their ways by the end of their interaction- he checks in every now and again on all past clients to make sure- or they disappear. (People that are exceptionally cruel to other people are almost always disappeared.) Either way, he cleans up a particularly pesty type of person as well as living spaces and workplaces.

He’s very vague about himself and his origins, interested more in whoever he’s helping but not necessarily prying as that would be rude. He always minds his manners, polite to everyone even when threatening the nastier individuals, and is generally friendly unless provoked. Curiously, animals of all kinds don’t like him much, but he doesn’t seem to mind terribly. Needless to say he’s an eerie and strange creature that’s definitely not human.

[Obviously he has an existence outside of his services, but that also has yet to be expanded upon.]

NIT bracket 2022: The full field revealed

Photo by John Jones/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images

Here’s the field in the National Invitational Tournament

Whether you’re excited for the National Invitational Tournament, or looking for solace after seeing your team bounced out on the bubble, it’s time to dive into the complete NIT bracket for 2022.

There are always going to be debates about who is the biggest snub of the NCAA Tournament, but it’s widely accepted that Texas A&M were robbed by the selection committee. The Aggies went 23-12 this season, running all the way to the SEC Championship before losing to Tennessee. Forget recency bias, this feels the opposite — as playing the championship game on Sunday seemed to absolutely hurt Texas A&M in the mind of the committee.

There’s a chance they could still make the tournament, along with Dayton, Oklahoma, and SMU. These first four teams out make up the replacement field of teams who could be called on to enter the tournament in the event of a Covid outbreak making it impossible for a bracket team to compete.

Outside of these replacement teams a big name to watch is Wake Forest. The 23-9 Demon Deacons returned to prominence this season on the back of guard Alondes Williams, who transferred from Oklahoma where he floundered for two seasons, before breaking out in 2021-22 for Wake, averaging 19.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists en route to an ACC Player of the Year award.

This year marks the return of the full 32 team NIT field after a COVID-19 restricted 16 teams a year ago, so let’s dive in as the teams are announced on ESPNU. You’ll be able to bet on the full NIT at DraftKings Sportsbook.

Top Left Bracket

1 Dayton Toledo

4 Vanderbilt Belmont

3 Florida Iona

2 Xavier Cleveland State

Bottom Left Bracket

1 Oklahoma Missouri State

2 North Texas Texas State

3 Mississippi State Virginia

4 Colorado St. Bonaventure

Top Right Bracket

1 SMU Nicholls

2 BYU Long Beach State

3 Saint Louis Northern Iowa

4 Washington State Santa Clara

Bottom Right Bracket

1 Texas A&M Alcorn State

2 Wake Forest Towson

3 VCU Princeton

4 Utah State Oregon

“MY AMAZING MUSINGS OVER POTENTIAL SEXUAL ABUSE APPLICATIONS OF SLIDER(ING) WIDGETS, GRAZING IN MY BUREAU DRAWER, NAMELESS HERE, FOREVERMORE, HITCH!” * a poem a.k.a.: “Am I Losing My Blogging Mind?” August 26, 2018, Me Mum’s Birthday is on a Sunday this year, like today!

Widgets are AMAZING; I found a few today;

With-a-MacGuffin* - in-my-bureau-drawer,

“carrying-on”-in-an-”unnatural” way (?)

When I found them, they were squealing, squealing with delight,

And The MacGuffin? It was grinning - The scene was outta sight!!

As I watched them, oh, so carefully, they grew before my eyes;

I-think-they’d-been-impregnated-by-The-MacGuffin;

I-questioned-if-this-was-wise!

They grew & grew & then exploded, and confetti swarmed the room!

The MacGuffin spread its “Hitchcock-ian” wings; I wondered: “Will it ZOOM?”

Slowly-it-went (at first) and then (WOW!) with a nod,

The MacGuffin just-really took-right-off; y’know, ‘twas really MOD!

In-retrospect, what-they-were-doing -

might NOT-have-been-unnatural, after all,

For I’ve really no idea, if-their-performance-was-fulfilling-Nature’s-call!

Anyway, I cleaned everything up and dusted just a bit;

IF I hadn’t done that, I was pretty sure, MOTHER-would-throw-a-fit!

AND!! As I emptied the colorful confetti - in the outside trash,

I’m sure, that-passing-by,* was Alfred Hitchcock, dressed-up in a sash!

He paused for just a moment, I think, and stared at me,

Then, continued his walk, “widgeting” with glee! :)

fin. <3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MZ_K7EmDEw&start_radio=1&list=RD7MZ_K7EmDEw

* - Alfred “Hitch” Hitchcock, known as “The Master of Suspense,” was a film director who passed away about four decade ago! He was “knighted,” interviewed as THE “best” film producer/director of all times, developed the idea of a MacGuffin, which is “SOMETHING” IN A FILM THAT IS, PERHAPS, IMPORTANT, BUT YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW WHAT IT IS (!), had an apparently submissive wife Alma, who also acted as “manager,” and (Hitch) was quoted as saying: “Actors are cattle!” He died of renal failure at age 80 in 19 - (yes!) 80 and produced/directed about a zillion films, in which he sometimes made “cameo appearances,” where he just “showed up” for a few moments and that’s it! He either went to Heaven - or Hell - or some other place - or, perhaps, he is still alive somewhere, plotting his next movie.

Perhaps (although, perhaps not) it should be said that many of the female actresses “Hitch” selected for his films were blond(e)s! Some of their categories were: “The vamp, the tramp, the snitch, the witch, the slink, the double-crosser and, best of all, the demon mommy!” I am partial to the witch and the demon mommy myself, but you might have other ideas, which is fine.

HITCHCOCK PIC #1: with his wife Alma Reville and their cherub Patricia.

HITCHCOCK PIC #2: on a bus, doing a cameo appearance with one of his actors.

HITCHCOCK PIC #3: with his daughter Pat, her daughter Terry, Joe, Pat’s husband, Alma and my sister Alicia, although I have no idea how Alicia got in there, but she did get a degree in “Radio-Television-Film” ** at THE University of Texas, in a place called Austin (a POWERful place, suitable for visitation, but not more-or-less permanent habitation)! Possibly, Alicia’s studies endeared her to the Hitchcock family, and they might have adopted her, or something! Anyway, Alicia NOW lives with her husband Steve in Dallas, Texas, not far from Austin, and she is here, visiting Alpine to celebrate mum’s birthday. “AUSTIN IS WEIRD, BUT ALPINE IS FAR OUT!”

HITCHCOCK PIC #4: a sculpture of “Hitch,” near a studio in London, England.

“Families! Can’t live with ‘em; can’t live without ‘em!” The Mystic Poet.

** - abbrev. “R-T-F!” MY degree was from Sul Ross State University, here in Alpine, graduating with a degree in “WTF!” *** I graduated with honors, although nobody told me WHY!

*** - I have speculated that the degree requirements I may or may not have fulfilled are in “WIDGETS-Television-Film,” although I can only briefly recall taking a lot of courses in Political Science, Statistics, Really Abstract, Theoretical Algebra . . . and Music. I eventually went to Law School in Dallas (I think the place was “SMU,” although I never did know for sure what those letters stood for), and, yes, I do recall seeing law books at a library once or twice - and meeting some really pretty girls, who wanted to get married, although nobody told me WHY! I once found a MacGuffin in my dorm room; it taught me everything about the art of sexual fulfillment that I could ever hope to know - and more than I wanted to (know)! Amen.

College football picks, predictions against the spread for every Week 8 Top 25 game

Week 8 of the college football season does not have a matchup between ranked teams.

That does not mean there aren’t intriguing matchups. Four ranked teams are underdogs against unranked opponents, including No. 8 Oklahoma State and No. 10 Oregon. LSU, which agreed to part ways with Ed Orgeron at the end of the season, travels to No. 12 Ole Miss. No. 13 Notre Dame resumes its rivalry with USC, which fired coach Clay Helton after Week 2.

No. 1 Alabama and Tennessee renew their rivalry in the SEC, and No. 23 Pitt has a chance to knock Clemson out of the ACC race for good this season.

BENDER: Winners and losers from Week 7 | Playoff picture takes shape | Who’s next at LSU?

Each week, Sporting News picks every AP Top 25 game by the spread. Here is a look at our track record this season:

Straight up: 99-31 (10-6 in Week 7)

Against the spread: 64-66 (10-6 in Week 7)

Upsets: 5-5 (0-1 in Week 7)

With that in mind, a look at this week’s picks:

Week 8 Picks ATS

Wednesday, Oct. 20

No. 14 Coastal Carolina (-3.5) at Appalachian State (7:30 p.m., ESPN2)

The Chanticleers are 5-1 ATS, and this is a huge Sun Belt showdown on the road. Coastal Carolina has the top-scoring offense in the FBS at 48.8 points per game, and the Mountaineers are coming off a blowout loss to Louisiana. The low spread is a little worrisome, but you take the better offensive team.

Pick: Coastal Carolina wins 38-31 and COVERS the spread.

Thursday, Oct. 21

Tulane at No. 21 SMU (-14.5) (7:30 p.m., ESPN)

Tulane has lost four straight games in blowout fashion, but the Green Wave had a bye week to recalibrate. The Mustangs are 2-2 ATS when favored by double digits against FBS schools. Four of the last five meetings have been decided by four points or less.

Pick: SMU wins 37-27 and FAILS TO COVER the spread.

Saturday, Oct. 23

No. 2 Cincinnati (-27.5) at Navy (12 p.m. ESPN2)

The Bearcats have scored 50-plus points in their last two games in easy covers, and they beat Navy 42-0 last season. The Midshipmen are at home, where they’ve covered the last two games. Cincinnati will run it up given the opportunity, but we think Navy holds on for a cover here.

Pick: Cincinnati wins 40-14 but FAILS TO COVER the spread.

No. 3 Oklahoma (-38.5) at Kansas (12 p.m., ESPN)

Kansas is bad, and they have lost by an average of 32.5 points in Big 12 home games against Baylor and Texas. Oklahoma has found its hyper-drive with Caleb Williams at quarterback, too. Look for the Sooners to keep the big-play offense rolling in the first half.

Pick: Oklahoma wins 51-10 and COVERS the spread.

Illinois at No. 6 Penn State (-23.5) (12 p.m., ABC)

Will quarterback Sean Clifford play? That makes this game tough to pick, especially knowing Illinois ranks last in the Big Ten with 17.7 points per game. Still, the Illini are 3-1 ATS as underdogs this season, and that is a big line knowing there is a quarterback issue.

Pick: Penn State wins 38-17 but FAILS TO COVER the spread.

Northwestern at No. 7 Michigan (-21.5)

This line has jumped two points from its open, and the Wolverines will be refreshed coming off a bye week. Northwestern has played awful on the road this season. Michigan has won four of the last six meetings, but four of those have been one-score games. We think that opening line was closer to the truth.

Pick: Michigan wins 37-17 but FAILS TO COVER the spread.

No. 16 Wake Forest (-3.5) at Army (12 p.m., CBSSN)

The Demon Deacons did have a bye week to prepare for Army’s option attack. Wake Forest allows 173.8 yards rushing per game, so they better not let the Black Knights control the tempo. Army hasn’t lost at home this season either.

Pick: Army wins 34-31 in an UPSET.

No. 8 Oklahoma State at Iowa State (-6.5)

What do the Cowboys have to do to get a little respect? Iowa State is a near-TD favorite at home despite the fact Oklahoma State has won eight of the last 10 meetings. The Cyclones have bounced back from a tough early start, but the Cowboys are a good team. We respect that.

Pick: Oklahoma State wins 34-31 in an UPSET.

No. 10 Oregon at UCLA (-1.5) (3:30 p.m., ABC)

The Ducks are another top team — a legitimate playoff contender — that are an underdog heading into a matchup with former Oregon coach Chip Kelly. Oregon has failed to cover the last four weeks as a favorite. Maybe another shot as an underdog is exactly what they need.

Pick: Oregon wins 33-28 in an UPSET.

LSU at No. 12 Ole Miss (-10.5) (3:30 p.m., CBS)

Let the Ed Orgeron farewell tour commence. The Tigers are an underdog for the third straight week, and the secondary’s health is worth monitoring against Ole Miss’ high-powered offense. LSU has won the last five meetings in the series, and the running game perked up against Florida. It still won’t be enough.

Pick: Ole Miss wins 42-34 but FAILS TO COVER the spread.

Clemson at No. 23 Pitt (-3.5) (3:30 p.m., ESPN)

Can the Panthers knock the Tigers out once and for all? Clemson’s offense continues to struggle this season, but the defense remains tough. Pitt has a chance to flex with quarterback Kenny Pickett. The Tigers make their statement on the road.

Pick: Clemson wins 28-25 in an UPSET.

MORE: Last time Clemson wasn’t favored in regular season was …

Wisconsin (-2.5) at No. 25 Purdue (3:30 p.m., BTN)

The Boilermakers are riding high after an upset against Iowa, and now they face another struggling offense in Wisconsin. The Badgers, however, have a tough run defense and this seems like a spot for a potential letdown. The Badgers have won 14 in a row in this series.

Pick: Wisconsin wins 28-24 and COVERS the spread.

Tennessee at No. 4 Alabama (-27.5) (7 p.m., ESPN)

Get this line before it clears 28 points. The Vols are 1-3 ATS as an underdog, and Alabama appears to be in scorched-earth mode after the loss to Texas A&M. The Crimson Tide have covered three of the last four weeks.

Pick: Alabama wins 49-20 and COVERS the spread.

MORE: SEC issues statement after Tennessee fans trash field

No. 22 San Diego State at Air Force (-3.5) (7 p.m., CBSSN)

The Aztecs are yet another ranked underdog on the road against the Falcons. San Diego State has won the last eight meetings, and they allow 61.2 rushing yards per game. The Aztecs improve to 7-0, and this line could shift as the week continues.

Pick: San Diego State wins 27-24 in an UPSET.

No. 24 UTSA (-6.5) at Louisiana Tech (7 p.m., TBD)

UTSA bolted into the Top 25, and the Roadrunners are 6-1 ATS this season. Louisiana Tech is tough at home, and they have one-score losses against NC State and SMU. That said, we’re trusting the hot team, even on the road.

Pick: UTSA wins 31-24 and COVERS the spread.

USC at No. 13 Notre Dame (-6.5) (7:30 p.m, NBC)

Notre Dame and USC resume their traditional rivalry, and both teams had an extra week to prepare. The Trojans have played better on the road this season, but the Irish are 1-2 ATS as a favorite. Still, Notre Dame is the more-consistent team. The Irish win their fourth straight in the series.

Pick: Notre Dame wins 29-21 and COVERS the spread.

South Carolina at No. 17 Texas A&M (-21.5) (7:30 p.m., SECN)

Texas A&M has found its rhythm with Zach Calzada at quarterback, and the Aggies are 3-1 ATS when favored by double digits. South Carolina has suffered a few embarrassing blowouts, but that half-point hook could be a saver.

Pick: Texas A&M wins 38-19 and FAILS TO COVER the spread.

No. 5 Ohio State (-18.5) at Indiana (7:30 p.m., ABC)

The Hoosiers and Buckeyes played a one-score classic last season, but a lot has changed for Indiana since last year. Indiana has the same defense, but they don’t have the offensive firepower necessary to keep up with the Buckeyes. The line has dropped a point.

Pick: Ohio State wins 42-20 and COVERS the spread.

No. 19 NC State (-3.5) at Miami (7:30 p.m., ABC)

N.C. State is starting to emerge as an ACC championship favorite, and they hit the road for another crossover test. Tyler Van Dyke has filled in well at quarterback for Miami, which has lost its last two ACC games by a combined total of five points. There is an upset risk here, but we’ll stick with NC State this time.

Pick: NC State wins 34-28 and COVERS the spread.

College Football News Preseason Win Total Projections For All 130 Teams: Preview 2021

New Post has been published on https://tattlepress.com/sports/college-football-news-preseason-win-total-projections-for-all-130-teams-preview-2021/

College Football News Preseason Win Total Projections For All 130 Teams: Preview 2021

What are the College Football News preseason win total projections for all 130 teams? Where are the potential values?

– Contact/Follow @ColFootballNews

What’s going to happen for all 130 teams this 2021 college football season? The goal here is to get it close to the pin with the win total projections for every team, hoping to be +/-1 after it’s all over.

This isn’t necessarily about how good the teams are – it’s about the schedules, the timing of the games, and how many sure wins, almost certain losses, and 50/50 battles there appear to be.

First, we list all of our win total projections based on the 130 posted team previews, and then come the totals from BetMGM to see where there might be any potential discrepancies one way or the other. You’ll get the idea.

Remember, this is for the regular season only. No College Football Playoff, bowl, or conference championship games are a part of this.

2019 Top Games of the Week: Week 10

Friends, I won’t lie to you. This week is pretty bad. Aside from the obvious games, there are a few gems here and there if you’re willing to dig for them, but really, it’s not good.

The Top Ten Games of the Week

10. Miami FL 4-4 (2-3) at Florida State 4-4 (3-3)

That a game so irrelevant is on the top ten is a bad sign. I’m a big fan of this rivalry game, but sheesh, the rivalry is the only slightly interesting part of this matchup.

9. Georgia Southern 4-3 (2-1) at #20 Appalachian State 7-0 (4-0)

Perhaps the best rivalry in the Sun Belt. Georgia Southern’s triple option is likely the only thing coming remotely close to challenging Appalachian State as the Mountaineers sprint to an undefeated record in conference play.

8. Virginia Tech 5-2 (2-2) at #16 Notre Dame 5-2

After a horrific start, Virginia Tech is back in the ACC Coastal race. They probably won’t beat a mad Notre Dame squad, but the Hokies have started to patch things together.

7. NC State 4-3 (1-2) at #23 Wake Forest 6-1 (2-1)

Wake Forest is attempting to win 9 or even 10 games this year, a major feat for the smallest P5 school. NC State has disappointed so far this season, but probably has something in store for their in-state rival.

6. TCU 4-3 (2-2) at Oklahoma State 5-3 (2-3)

TCU and Oklahoma State are fumbling to keep in the Big 12 race, which has opened up a little bit now that Oklahoma has lost.

5. Virginia 5-3 (3-2) at North Carolina 4-4 (3-2)

I’d have to check the archives to make sure but I think the South’s Oldest Rivalry makes the Top Ten for the first time ever. Virginia and North Carolina currently find themselves at the top of the Coastal Division standings and the winner will have pole position in the race for the ACC Championship Game.

4. #15 SMU 8-0 (4-0) at #24 Memphis 7-1 (3-1)

I am so happy that this game will host Gameday. Is it nationally relevant? Sure, and we should celebrate it. Will it impact the Playoff race? I’m afraid that it won’t. At this point I don’t see the Committee even considering the AAC Champion. Still, I’m personally more interested in this game than most of the top 5.

3. #9 Utah 7-1 (4-1) at Washington 5-3 (2-3)

Washington is the biggest hurdle Utah has to face in the regular season. The Utes are making a push for the Playoff as the darkest of dark horses (outside of a 2-loss SEC team I guess). I don’t know what to make of the Huskies right now. They’re still clearly a talented team, and very capable of this upset, but can they pull it off?

2. #7 Oregon 7-1 (5-0) at USC 5-3 (4-1)

Yest the PAC-12 is back in the Playoff discussion. It feels a bit strange. Oregon is making a bit louder of a push than Utah and the Ducks are attempting to win out and crash the party. They’d be the second team ever to go 9-0 in PAC-12 play after the 2010 UO team. USC still controls the South, and needs to lose twice to give Utah the division.

1. #8 Georgia 6-1 (3-1) vs #6 Florida 7-1 (4-1)

Well duh. This is clearly the biggest game in the country this weekend. The biggest stakes, the SEC East, the Sugar Bowl, the Playoff even. It’s all on the table for the winner, and the loser might even make a NY6 bowl if they play their cards right. The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party commands the attention of the nation.

5 G5 Games of the Week

This list is pretty pathetic. I’ll be the first to admit it. I like to only use games featuring teams that don’t have losing records, and I can’t even do that here. There literally weren’t enough. Yuck.

5. Buffalo 4-4 (2-2) at Eastern Michigan 4-4 (1-3)

Essentially a placeholder unless you really care about extremely hard-luck programs struggling to bowl.

4. UAB 6-1 (3-1) at Tennessee 3-5 (2-3)

The team with a losing record that would usually preclude it from the G5 list is Tennessee lmao. The Vols are lucky it’s such a desolate week. I won’t even pretend to be evenhanded here. Go Blazers! Drive the stake in!

3. Army 3-5 at Air Force 6-2 (4-1)

Suddenly Army seems to once again be the weakest of the Service Academies. The plucky Black Knights will be underdogs against a salty Air Force who have been playing some very good ball lately.

2. Florida Atlantic 5-3 (3-1) at Western Kentucky 5-3 (4-1)

The C-USA East race is pretty tight, if you care about C-USA. Lane Kiffin is involved at least, so you might want to keep one eye on this game at least.

1. #21 Boise State 6-1 (3-0) at San Jose State 4-4 (1-3)

San Jose State is having their best season since David Fales was QB. But here comes Boise State to grind up the Spartans.

...unless

FCS Games of the Week

3. #16 North Carolina A&T 5-2 (3-1) at South Carolina State 5-2 (3-1)

We’ve got our first HBCU showdown to make the FCS Games of the Week list. NC A&T has been the class of the HBCU’s for the last several years, but are looking a bit vulnerable. Meanwhile, South Carolina State is off to their hottest start in years and looking to knock off their rivals.

2. #9 Northern Iowa 5-3 (3-1) at #7 Illinois State 6-2 (3-1)

The MVFC race is down to four realistic contenders, with NIU and ISU deciding who will remain in the top 3.

1. #3 Weber State 6-2 (4-0) at #6 Sacramento State 6-2 (4-0)

Chaos reigns in the Big Sky as two traditionally noncompetitive teams are vying for the league title. Neither team has yet lost to an FCS opponent.
