Could ask about some headcanons on Rosoie and Alastor's beginnings in friendship?
YESYESYESYEYSSYYAGARTAD (explodes)
Rosie and Alastor becoming friends HCS!
They knew each other sense around 1934, but didn't really acknowledge each othwrs presence until 1950
They met at an overlord meeting
They actually hated each other in the beginning. Tried to one up each other for a solid decade until they were sent on an overlord heist together and bonded
FINALLY became friends in 1959, a good 25 years after they met.
They immediately hit it off once they bonded. Gossip girlys. The heist they were sent on was actually a failed mission because they kept getting too damn distracted
Once they became friends there was no looking back. They were the overlord power duo. Carmilla, the one who had sent then on that heist together, regrets every decision she has ever made.
When they became friends Rosie was married to a man named Henry, who was an absolute Susan-ish BITCH, so alastor helped her get rid of her
Murder besties from day one. These two are unstoppable if you put them into a room together with some weapons
Rosie got married again in 1964 (alastor called her a crazy bitch. (He was right too this guy was a jackass))
When the Disney movie "Pinocchio" made its way into hell with the sinners, they watched it together. Were absolutely terrified. They have seen the horrors that come with cannibalism and murder, but nothing could have prepared them for THAT.
They got legally married in 1971. It was a good way to fend off unwanted sutors from rosie
Once the new/proper LGBTQ terms finally started making their way into hell Rosie was HOOKED. She tried to educate alastor (he didn't listen. At all.)
They actually lived together in the apartment above Rosies Emporium for a while. A good twenty years before Alastor disappeared and then showed up at the hotel. Rosie never got rid of any of his things once he left. He still have a spare radio recording room in her hall closet.
Annnnddd that leads us to present day!!
I take any hc requests!! Check my pinned post! :3

Remember when I wrote how I love the tragedy of Shinichi and Ran's romantic relationship? Now it's Kaito and Aoko's turn🙂
Kaito who flinches at every insult Aoko slings at Kaitou's KID way, but they're always hidden behind his mastered pokerface.
It hurts more than he likes to acknowledge to hear every insult, every curse, against Kaitou KID and his existence but not because she's saying them to him, about him, but because Kaitou KID is, and always will be, his father's legacy. It's the reason his father died, was murdered, for, trying to protect the world from a shadow they don't yet know exists but will gleefully hurt the world when it gets what it wants.
A petty thief. As if that's all his father was.
At one point he was resolved to tell her the truth, about Kaitou KID, about his father, when the hunt was over and the world was safe but after every failed heist, after watching Aoko's insults get harsher and the anger in her eyes grow, he finds the courage he had once possessed faded from his tongue.
Aoko is just so angry and Kaitou KID is her outlet. The anger started when she saw her her father overworking himself with the chance of redemption, skipped meals and sleep, leading to a cold and empty house the day the thief strikes.
Then it's not just meals being skipped. It's Aoko saying hi in the morning to get no reply, it's her putting effort into making her father food she know he needs only to find him already gone without a goodbye. It's coming home to see the food she had placed for her father to see, to take for dinner instead, still sitting on the counter, untouched. She ends up eating his portion for dinner in his stead, alone in the kitchen with nothing but the hum of appliances to keep her company.
Aoko is like a ghost in her father's presense when the thief makes an appearance. Sometimes she wonders if she really is, cursed to watch her father spiral into obsession and helpless to do anything to stop it.
At first she smiled through it and reasoned that it's only when the thief appears but for their family KID doesn't disappear when the heist ends.
She has to watch her father put himself back together after every humilating defeat. It's having to hear-watch-see her father and the men who follow his lead be ridiculed for not catching him. Her father, who works himself until he starves, until he passes out, mocked for his efforts and Aoko is supposed to find a joke in that?
It hurts the most to see her best friend, the one she thinks she loves, take part in the "fun".
For Kaito though, after every failed heist (though no one but him knows they were), after all the danger he put himself through, seeing the darkest sides of humanity as he walks along the edge between good and evil, he needed to laugh and find joy in what he does.
And he does because being Kaitou KID was like finding a piece of himself he never knew was missing.
he thief was originally just a suit, a shadow following in his father's footsteps to put his soul at rest, but the more he slipped into the act of the sinner in white, the more performances he put on for the public, the suit of a man he had always seen as greater than him had turned into his second skin, a place he belonged.
He didn't want to hurt Aoko. He didn't want to hurt officer Nakamori either, the man was a surrogate father to him when his own was cruely taken from him.
But he wouldn't stop. He couldn't stop. To stop being himself.
The idea of telling Aoko some day, of the laughing it off and her accepting all of him, he's come to accept was just a pipe dream. Maybe once she would have accepted him, worried for him and supported him, but a world where that happened was a world he was putting her in danger and he could never let that happen.
But as much as KID was another side of him, it was also the cause of the pain in Aoko's eyes. Now Kaito didn't just hide the truth from her to protect her from the shadows, but from the futher pain the truth would do to her.
He was protecting her from himself.
He had to choose and choose he had. He dons the white cape once again and greets his audience with a shark grin and regret hidden behind a monocle.
Tomorrow Aoko will scream and rant to the heavens about KID, her anger a mask for the pain and loneliness she feels. Tomorrow Kaito will bear the insults and just laugh them off like they were just a joke, like he didn't feel like he was being stabbed with knives of hurt and guilt.
Neither will acknowledge the growing rift between them.
Acknowledging it will make it real.

About THE SALVATION GAMBIT:
A hotheaded hacker must outwit the AI at the heart of a rogue warship-turned-penal colony if she and her crew of conwomen want to escape with their lives in this electrifying sci-fi thriller from the acclaimed author of Bonds of Brass.
Murdock’s always believed in Hark, the woman who shaped her from a petty thief and lowlife hacker into a promising con artist. Hark is everything Murdock aspires to be, from her slick fashion sense to her unfailing ability to plan under pressure. Together with Bea, a fearless driver who never walks away from a bet, and Fitz, Murdock’s infuriatingly mercurial rival who can sweet talk the galaxy into spinning around her finger, the foursome has built a reputation for daring heists, massive payoffs, and never, never getting caught.
Well, until now.
Getting caught is one thing. Getting tithed to a sentient warship that’s styled itself into a punitive god is a problem the likes of which this team has never faced before. Aboard the Justice is a world stitched together from the galaxy’s sinners—some fighting for survival, some struggling to build a civilized society, and some sacrificing everything to worship the AI at the heart of the ship.
The Justice’s all-seeing eyes are fixed on its newest acquisitions, and on Murdock in particular. It has use for a hacker—if it can wrest her devotion away from Hark. And Murdock’s faith is already fractured. To escape the Justice’s madness, they need a plan, and Hark might not be up to the task.
If Hark—brilliant, unflappable Hark—can’t plot a way out, Murdock will have to use every last trick she’s learned to outwit the Justice, resist its temptation, and get her crew out alive.

Operation: Seraphina-chan Figure Recovery (Mammon x GN!Reader)
+ Slight Levi x GN!Reader, but it can be read as platonic too. I just want to include that because this is mostly Levi and MC's shenanigans.
Rating: Teen+
Summary: Levi needs help rescuing a special edition Seraphina-chan figurine from the Great Mammon's clutches, and you happily oblige. Hijinks ensue, and somehow, you wind up in Mammon's bed.
Author's note: *Spoilers for Nightbringer Lesson 5-14 (hard mode) ahead!*
I took most of the plot/script from that lesson and then just changed the ending, so please avoid this if you'd rather experience it for yourself first ^^ Enjoy x
Check it out on ao3!
Being the attendant to your beloved seven sinners, it wasn’t uncommon for you to receive late night calls for assistance. Sometimes, Mammon required a partner-in-crime for one of his typical money-making escapades; and others, Asmo would request your help with his skincare routine after a long night of partying. More often than not though, your midnight calls or texts wound up being Belphie, all but begging to use your thighs as a pillow so he could fall asleep more easily. It’s hard, after all, with all of Beel’s noisy sleep-eating.
The few times Levi needed you so late, it was because he was playing his favorite MMORPG, and wanted you to join in for the group-EXP bonuses he’d get out of it. That said, it was a shock to you when Levi sent you a text – all caps locked, to boot – practically demanding you to accompany him in a heist.
More fueled by intrigue than anything else, you rushed over to the House of Lamentation, quietly snuck inside and upstairs, and lightly rapped on the door to Levi’s room before being yanked inside.
“Ack!” you yelped, not having expected such force from the normally timid otaku. 
The moment he shut the door behind you, Levi put a hand on your shoulder. The expression on his face reminded you that he was a war guy up in the Celestial Realm. His mein was intense, brimming with determination, and maybe even rage.
“Alright, so we’re about to commence ‘Operation: Seraphina-chan Figure Recovery,’” he announced. “Our objective: find and rescue Seraphina-chan!”
“...Umm, what?”
Visibly frustrated by your confusion, Levi took his hand off you and brought it up to his face with the other. As he answered, “Ugh, come on! You ruined the moment,” both palms slid down, revealing a more fitting look of pure desperation. He continued, “Listen, and listen well!”
“Okay,” you sighed, crossing your arms and leaning back onto the door.
“My beloved Seraphina-chan has fallen into Mammon’s clutches.”
“Uh-huh.”
The demon continued, “Oh, and just in case you didn’t know,” before giving you a paraphrased explanation of Seraphina’s whole deal. You lost him for a moment, before snapping back to attention just as Levi got around to his point. “Mammon won her figure recently in a prize campaign after drawing a lucky ticket.”
“Sooo we’re stealing her?” you asked for confirmation.
“Yes!” Levi responded incredulously, as if it couldn’t be any more obvious. “It’s just awful. We’re talking about a special collector’s edition that’s supposed to be kept in an air-conditioned case, never meant to be opened.” 
Freaking nerd… but you wouldn’t have him any other way. You nodded along, jumping a little when he shouted, “But Mammon just tossed her on the floor! Like random garbage! It’s unbelievable! I know she would be happier in my care. Several thousand times happier.”
“Yeah,” you agreed, “Probably.”
‘Which is why I’m going to stand up and fight for her!”
“Hell yeah!” you encouraged him.
“So, tonight, I’m sneaking into Mammon’s room and rescuing Seraphina-chan!”
You responded as enthusiastically as you could in your sleep-deprived state. “O-okay!”
“And, like, you will help me with this, right? You are my caretaker after all!” 
Even if you wanted to reject him, you probably couldn’t. The third-born looked pathetically endearing. “Alright, sergeant. Lead the way.”
The two of you skulked down the hall to Mammon’s domain, and Levi let out a quiet “Ah-ha!” as he turned the doorknob to his older brother’s room. “The door isn’t locked! I knew he’d leave it open.”
You both peeked inside – Levi’s head at his own level, and yours poking out from underneath his arm. The two of you scanned the area, as Levi murmured, “Now, where’s Mammon…?”
As if on cue, a loud snore echoed from Mammon’s bed. Perfect. Your companion looked down to you as you looked up at him, and you offered each other a curt nod, signaling that it was time to go inside.
“Let’s find Seraphina-chan while he’s asleep.”
As you took a step forward, something crumpled beneath your foot. “Ew…” you mumbled. “This room is a pigsty.”
“Seriously, how can anyone be this messy?!” Looking back briefly, Levi warned you, “Watch your step. If you make too much noise, you’re liable to wake up even Mam– d’ahh!”
Seeing as Levi was about to fall over, you gripped his arm, pulling him closer to you for balance. It backfired, and you both fell, Levi caging you against the ground.
“Ugh, sorry. I tripped over… um...” You couldn’t see much, but the whites of his eyes became a little more visible. “Is it just me, or is your face awfully close to mine…?”
“Uh…”
Before you could fully respond, Levi stuttered, “Ah, h-h-hold on, this isn’t what you think! I didn’t mean to knock you down and land on top of you, it was an accident!”
Finding his bumbling amusing, you decided to tease him a bit, rather than letting him know that you knew that. “Someone’s feeling assertive today, huh?” You weren’t sure if he could see, but you shot Levi a cheeky wink as you spoke.
His volume rising as he grew more embarrassed, Levi tried to defend himself. “I-it’s not like that! C’mon, don’t say stuff like–”
“Mnn…” 
You could feel the soft breeze of Levi’s head whipping to look towards Mammon’s bed in tandem with your own. His brother groaned, then let out another snore. You felt a little more weight press into you as Levi breathed out a sigh of relief. 
“A-anyway…” He looked at you again, paused to gather his bearings, then said, “we’d better find Seraphina-chan ASAP!” 
The demon scrambled to get off of you, then helped you up as he scanned for his figure.
“Mammon’s room is totally different from mine, huh?”
“Mhm,” you very quietly hummed, hoping it would remind Levi to keep his voice down.
“I’m guessing maybe… you like this sort of room better…?”
You let out a hushed chuckle. “We’re at risk of getting caught snooping around Mammon’s stuff, and that’s what you’re worried about?” You nudged Levi’s arm, then took the neutral route. Both rooms were sick, in your opinion. “I don’t really have a preference either way.”
“Ahahaha!” You winced at your companion’s volume. He’d been too loud and too nervous ever since your little tumble together. “I mean, yeah, of course, right? It’s just a room!” 
Worried about the steadily raising decibels, you tried to cut him off. “L-Levi–” 
“Like, who cares?!” 
Oh good lord.
“Levi!” you whisper-yelled. 
Just as his name left your mouth, Mammon groaned again. This time, he spoke. “Mmn… quiet down…”
“Shit.”
“Oh no!” Levi exclaimed.
Mammon slurred, “Whoever’s disturbed my… my sleep… I got a pile driver with yooour name on it…” 
“I think he’s only half awake?!” the purple-haired avatar speculated. 
Your eyes finally having adjusted to the dark, you could see his features better. As Levi looked towards you, you were looking at Mammon, who was skulking closer to the two of you.
“Levi!” You whispered again, “Watch out!”
The older demon’s form began to square up, and he growled as he inched dangerously close. “Ah!” Levi squeaked. “He’s coming in for a pile driver!”
If you weren’t terrified of, you know, the pile driver, this situation would have been hilarious. Unfortunately, your safety was on the line. You dodged out of the way, and noticing that Levi was frozen in shock, you told him, “Dodge right!” 
He obeyed, and Mammon missed him, falling onto the couch and right back to a full-on sleep.
“Ugh, what was that?!” Levi shook his head, then drew closer to you while still scanning the room. “Okay, now that he’s asleep again, it’s back to the search. This time we’re going to find Seraphina-chan, and–” He cut himself off with a gasp.
“What?” you questioned.
“I-i-it can’t be…” Levi groaned, falling to his knees beside Mammon. “That box underneath Mammon…”
“What about it?”
Levi didn’t – no, couldn’t – answer in coherent words. He simply stuttered and fumbled and flailed, his frustration growing as he gave up on speech and motioned towards the object in question. You could only assume it was his dear, sweet–
“Seraphina-chan…” 
Yep.
“She’s… she’s been flattened…” he mourned.
You kneeled down to comfort the demon, but just as your fingertips touched his back, he tensed up, stood up, and you could only assume he was about to yell. You didn’t risk the possibility of it. Thinking fast, you stood up too, clasping a hand over Levi’s mouth. He looked furious and his face felt red-hot as he groaned questioningly into your palm. 
“Chill. I’ve got this.”
Knowing that, even in this timeline, Mammon had a huge soft spot for you, you were ready to use it to your advantage. He was laying on his side facing towards Levi and yourself, and you hoped that if Mammon opened his eyes, you’d at least be blocking his view of his younger brother. If Mammon saw you first, he’d probably be too flustered to notice Levi was there at all.
“Mammonnn,” you whispered sweetly, running a hand through his snow-white hair. 
“Mn…”
The demon said your name, and your heart fluttered a little, unsure if he was even awake. You’d be lying if you said you didn’t wholeheartedly reciprocate the avatar of greed’s feelings. 
“Let’s get you back to bed, yeah?”
Groaning again, he wrapped his arms around your waist, nearly pulling you on top of him. You held in a surprised yelp as you lost your balance. Your cheeks grew flushed as you gripped the back cushion of the sofa, so as to not further damage Seraphina-chan with your added weight. Hearing Levi growl from behind you, you turned to face him the best you could, and put your index finger to your lips. 
A silent, “Dude, shut up and trust me.”
Facing forward again, you placed a featherlight hand to Mammon’s back.
“Come on, let’s goh!” 
The next thing you knew, the second-born was tightening his grip around your midsection and hoisting you up over his shoulder, all while he raised himself back to his feet. You cupped a hand over your now-horizontal body to muffle an instinctive scream. Then, turning your upper half the best you could, you looked back towards Levi. 
“Grab her!” you whisper-yelled, motioning towards the couch as you were brought further away from it.
“W-what about you?!”
“What about me?! We came here for Seraph– oof!” 
Mammon dropped you onto the bed alongside him, before tugging you close. You were shorter than him, but he’d positioned you higher than himself, and was hugging your lower stomach to his face. Your shirt was riding up a bit, and you could feel his hot, steady breaths against the exposed skin. 
You breathed out a jagged sigh before metaphorically shaking several very naughty thoughts from your head, and continued to explain to the now-closer Levi, “We came here for Seraphina-chan. I’ll… I’ll figure something out, just get out of here and do un-flattening surgery on her, or something.”
Cradling the squished box to his chest, Levi looked between you and Mammon a few times before nodding. “A-alright. Uh…”
Backing away while still facing you, Levi seemed to be hesitant to leave you there. You motioned your head towards the door, and Levi finally gave up. 
“Uh, thanks for the help,” he offered before scurrying away.
When Levi shut the door, it became apparent to you how dark it truly was in Mammon’s room. In the present – Or was it technically the future? Whatever – Mammon normally kept a few dim lights on as he slept. You figured that it must’ve been a later Devildom development, because it was truly pitch black at the moment.
Not wanting to wake Mammon, but not wanting to scare him with your presence in case he did wake up either, you had the right mind to attempt to think of an alibi. 
Unfortunately, you’d soon learn that you wouldn’t have time for that.
Mammon sleep-spoke your name again as one of his arms shifted lower, now wrapping around your butt. You had a light hold on his shoulder, but the motion of his strong arm wrapping around a more intimate spot made you instinctively grip much tighter. 
In the future, this would’ve barely affected you. But given that Mammon only scarcely knew you in this timeline, and it had been so long since you’d last received a touch beyond a swift hug or light arm-link from any of your lovers, this was significantly more… exciting, to say the least.
“Mm…?” You sucked in a breath and remained silent as Mammon slowly came to. “W…w-what’s…?” 
Shit.
His eyes were slowly blinking open, and they grew wider as they trailed up your form. Not knowing if you should meet his eyes or look away, you were kind of stuck, reluctantly settling for the top of his hair. The demon reached around you to grab a remote from his bedside table, turning some dim lights on above his mattress. 
It took a moment before he could register the position he was in. Then, Mammon shouted your name. Was it fear? Shock? Embarrassment? You had no idea, because you’d assumed you felt exactly the same.
Quick to react, you came up with the most Mammon-friendly excuse that you could think of:
“I-I… I was here playing games with Levi, and I didn’t want to walk home this late, but I didn’t want to stay in his room either… a-and I kind of missed you, so…” 
It wasn’t entirely wrong. You did miss him… the him that you knew, of course, but it was still him nonetheless. You’d take any version of him at that point.
As you spoke, you looked everywhere but Mammon’s eyes. When he didn’t respond, you finally took a peek, and your breath hitched. His pupils were blown wide, and he had a dreamy yet carnal look to him that you haven’t seen since you were in your previous timeline.
After an almost-cocky-but-mostly-nervous laugh, Mammon slid the arm that was around your ass up towards your back, sending a shiver up your spine as his palm grazed your bare skin. 
“Of course you’d come to the Great Mammon in time of need,” he responded. “Some attendant you are, making me take care of you.” You rolled your eyes at his typical tsundere behavior, but smiled anyway. 
“C’mere, you,” he mumbled, pulling you down closer to his level. 
Then, Mammon pressed a kiss to your forehead – you didn’t even think he realized he was doing that as it happened – and repositioned so that you were able to lay against his toned chest. 
You hadn’t meant to sleep over, but that’s exactly what happened. You weren’t about to object to a comfy night with one of your favorite non-humans.

Lets talk about my favorite charater Chazwick Thurman and do what I do best
Overanalyze
I wanna do a little deep dive and some theorizing on this hot shark man. So lets go.
In the episode Exes and Oohs we are introduced to Chaz Thurman, a dumbass shark man with sex for brains. We are soon infromed that he happens to be the ex of both Millie and Moxxie and he tells the story of him and Moxxie's realationship.
he speccifically says
"But I still remember it like it was yesterday! You, a fledging mafioso; me, the dashing and extremely sexy muscle. It was like it was written in the stars!"
Remember that
okay so I have a couple throeies on my boy Chaz so
I know quite a few people hate this shark man with a burning passion, but, if you really look closely at his character, you'll see that he's actually not much of a bad guy. The whole flashback montage of Moxxie and Chaz showed that Chaz really did love Moxxie, and even when he left Moxxie behind, you can tell by the look on his face that he felt he had no other choice.
Tumblr media
2. This is more of a question but. Did Crimson kill Chaz? Because I thought the only way for someone to die is if they are killed with an angelic weapon. So does that just mean Crimson horrifically mutilated Chaz?
Tumblr media
And if Crimson DID use an angelic weapon, then what about all of those people Millie killed at the wedding? Are they actually dead? Because they weren’t killed with angelic weapons.
3. I don't think Chaz is an imp. We see throughout the episode different demons that are kinda shark themed. I think he was one of them. Chaz has no imp characteristics. No horns, no imp tail, no white hair. He’s a full-blooded shark demon.
Chaz is based off a shark, if you look at the other shark background characters you'll see that they seem to be a whole species. They have the swirly eyes, they can have black markings on their tails, spikes/fins, skeletal parts, and very different body types.
like these sharks from Hazbin Hotel
Tumblr media
and some of these guys from the wedding
Tumblr media
I think that Striker is part shark demon, part imp, because of his different coloration, unusually large size, swirly eyes, black tail markings, snout (I dont think we've ever seen an imp with a snout) and lack of red on his eyes, which is a trait that we see on most of the other imps, when their pupils shrink, a bit of red iris is shown, however Striker lacks this trait.
Tumblr media
Also intresting point they bleed red blood
Tumblr media
no sure if they're sinners or if its a consistansy issue but ya
Tumblr media
4. I have this sneaking suspision that Chaz abbadoning Moxxie was a completly self centered desision.
I biased of couse but look at this man.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You see a narrcisistic shark man I see a man in love who happens to be a narrcisistic shark man.
During the heist scene lets talk about his face.
Tumblr media
hearing the sirens
Tumblr media
The realization. He has to make a choice.
Tumblr media
Regret.
Hmmmmmmm.
5. I have some speculations on how Chaz reached the conclusion of "Ditch Moxxie"
The money was really that important. As we all know Chaz is flat broke. So was the money really that important to him. I feel like him and striker have simmilar situations. But stiker chooses to rage and rebel and Chaz chose to adapt and try and make the best of it.
This might be a reach but Moxxie's legs as we know where permentaly mutlated by the heist incident
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Right so even though Chaz seems to be a complete dumbass there is a chance that he did recognize the damage already done and made a rash desion to let Mox be arrested because if he had tried to help him fast enoguh to get away they could risk permently severing Moxxie's leg and hurting him. Getting arrested could possibly be what saved him.
But again I'm dumb don't murder me.

Session updates!!
Dinner and Ball at Ravenloft, Reek is Dhampir, Mirre has his court case against Anastrasya and wins! Reek is now Reek Uldras. exploration. start of tome heist.
-After hopping into the black carriage and having some trippy statue experiences, we arrive at Ravenloft.
-Rahadin leads us to our rooms and we change into our formals and leave our weapons in the room then travel down to the dining room. Rhil chatting up Rahadin who is actually responding to her now vs the first time they met.
-Strahd is playing her organ alone when we get there. Strahd explains that she dosen't want things to be hostile between us and wanted to personally thank us for the return of St.Andral's bones.
-She states she wants to get to know us better and questions go back and forth. Mirre asking the more serious questions(why does Ireena interest you?) and Rhil being her silly self.(Whats your fav animal?"
-They get on the topic of Dirrak and learns that while Strahd DID drop the body off at his order's doorsteps, she wasn't actually the one who killed Dirrak. Dirrak was found dead on Argynvostholt's steps and Strahd believes Vladimir killed him. Strahd brings up possibly hiring Mirre to "deal with some ghosts" in the future.
-While Strahds interest has been on Mirre most the time during this, she has subtly shown desire towards Rhil. She dosent seem to care too much about Jace.
-the rest of the guests show up, Ludmilla, Escher, Volenta, Anastrasya and Reek.
-We eat and chitchat, Mirre getting Reek to talk to him a little bit, but its clear Reek is terrified of Anastrasya. Though Mirre did get a couple snickers and smirks, showing he wasn't just a mindless spawn.
-We do a toast as we finish up dinner. Anastrasya trying to get Mirre angry tries to make Reek drink blood out of a cup for the toast. Reek ends up dropping the glass, Mirre quickly checking to see if hes alright while Anastrasya yells at him and tries to get another cup. Strahd promptly shuts her down after she caused a scene.
-After checking on Reek, Mirre discovers that Reek felt warm. Before he could investigate further, Anastrasya grabs Reek by the arm and drags him out to where we are having the ball.
-Strahd asks Mirre to stay back while the others left, They talk a bit and Strahd offers Mirre a necklace with a red gem. She tells him he has to keep it on him at all times and cant tell anyone about it. Mirre gets bad vibes from this and turns down her offer, explaining it would rub him the wrong way hiding something from the group, especially as the designated leader of the group. Strahd understands and they both head out to the dance.
High lights from dance:
-Rhil and Jace have their adorable dance first, Mirre and Anastrasya dance too. mostly Anastrasya berating him while he ignores her.
Rhil goes to dance with Rahadin, him actually offering to help show her how to dance. They have a pretty heavy conversation, Rhil gets a lot of backstory regarding the betrayal, the drowning of dusk elf female and children(which he had no part of), They talked about Mother Night and her history.
Rahadin brings up Rhil's black arms and black ear tips and inform her that those mark sinners among their kind and he wont pry, but others may be afraid of her or hate her for them.
tho he praised her heavily for killing the hags.
-Mirre dances with Reek: they have an emotional conversation and Mirre figures that Reek isnt a spawn, but a Dhampir! Anastrasya put some control spell over him when he was reborn and can make him do things.
-Which she does when Mirre goes to hug Reek by having him jab Mirre with a claw. not enough to do some true damage.
Anastrasya and Rhil: after a nat20 deception and manipulation, Anastrasya thinks her and Rhil are buddy buddy and shares some of what she did to Reek and her plans with him. Rhil determines shes batshit crazy. Anastrasya is convinced Strahd's going to let her win the case over Reek and has no evidence and is underprepared.(lucky for Mirre)
Mirre and Escher: Mirre very quickly ends up pissing off Escher, but gets a lot of information on his past party.
Rhil and Cyrus: She dances with him and learns about the abott and abbey, The teachings of lathander sound pretty accurate but determines something is off, her dance ends and she suggests Jace dance with Cyrus. Jace and Rhil agree that something is off and it sounds like the faith is being manipulated.
Mirre and Strahd: Mirre nat20's his performance check and impresses Strahd further, They have a conversation about leadership and how impressed shes been with his talents.
Rhil and Strahd: Some casual chitchat, Strahd gives Rhil a long list of places to check out in Barovia. after they finish their dance Strahd pulls Rhil aside and offers her knowlege of her people, back when cerrunos was a thing. She also brings up that Rhil might be able to get Rahadin to smile. Strahd offers Rhil the same necklace Mirre was offered, Rhil is tempted but turns strahd down for the same reasons of not wanting to hide things from her friends.
Dancing resumes, Mirre having danced with everyone decides to dance with Rahadin.
Rahadin isnt really talkative until Mirre brings up Rhil. When Mirre asks why.
Rahadin says Rhil is kin and that she represents something their people lost long ago "hope", He dosn't want to see that spark snuffed out. Mirre determines its more then that, but dosent press further.
He tells Mirre that Rhil is on a dangerous path and to not let her go into the dark alone, because "That happy smile might not come back out"
Mirre states he will be there with her every step, just like Rhil would be for him. Rahadin approves.
Rahadin warns him to keep Rhil away from Ludmilla and Kasimir, because they will lead her to ruin. Even says that being a bride to Strahd might be a fate Rhil wont want.
for the rest of the dance, Rhil tells Rahadin some fun stories about Rhil and the silly things shes done. Rahadin listening intently to every word.
Volenta harrassed and unnerved everyone she danced with haha
Ludmilla and Mirre, They talked a bit and Ludmilla seems very interested in Mirre and his abilities. hinting at a possible alliance. Ludmilla didnt show any interest in Jace and said Rhil reminded her of Patrina but that's about it.
The dance ended and we moved to the audience hall to begin the case for guardian ship of Reek.
Mirre and Anastrasya stood in front of Strahd and gave their statements. Mirre provided his evidence and eye witnesses.
Anastrasya brought up that we originally stole the children from the hags(which we did) and Rahadin was brought up as a witness.
Rahadin actually stood up for us, saying he didn't even see us there nor was there evidence.
Anastrasya pressed further and Strahd was upset, feeling like Anastrasya was claiming that Rahadin was lying.
Anastrasya quickly dropped the point.
Mirre had written eye witness reports from 4 different people, Verified by Baroness Fiona Wachter herself. Also letters from Anastrasya that he held onto.
Mirre and Anastrasya debated back and forth, Mirre making good points and Anastrasya seemed to ramble.
Anastrasya pulled out the dagger Mirre gave Reek, claiming it was unsafe for a child. Mirre admitted that was reckless of him and owned up to his mistake. Strahd held onto the dagger at the throne.
we close our statements
Strahd did a whole "Bachelor handing off the rose" type thing but with Reeks dagger.
MIRRE WON!! Strahd also enchanted the dagger for Reek as an adoption gift, stating that Reek will be known as Reek Uldras.
The dm did this arguement with points. If you had a good point and good arguement, you got a point. if you lost an arguement, you lost a a point.
Mirre ended up with 10pts and Anastrasya ended up with 6
Lots of cheering from the party and after the consorts/brides left.
Strahd congratulated Mirre and gave us permission to wander the castle minus a few places.
after some emotional moments with Reek and Mirre. We set off to hunt down Strahd's tome.

I was going to say I think this book “the salvation gambit” might be appealing to locked tomb fans but I felt like it got really clumsy and confusing at the end. I couldn’t tell why the main character was making decisions or what the author wanted me to think. so I probably wouldn’t recommend it
it’s about an all-female heist team who get caught and scooped up by a warship run by an ai that collects “sinners.” the main character is deeply in love with and idolizes the leader of her squad but they’re quickly split up and she has to team up with the woman she likes the least. I think the book is supposed to be about her coming into herself and learning to make decisions for herself instead of being a follower but that got SO muddled by the end. however according to my personal rating system it was still a good book bc there was lesbian sex in it

hazbin hotel season 2 wishlist;
Lucifer gets a polka song. literally doesn't matter what the context of the song is i just want him to be involved in a polka now.
the musical spell hell + heaven are under actually becomes a plot point (i have a whole theory based on this but can you IMAGINE how nuts it would be for a musical show to suddenly go "actually the fact this is a musical is plot important" ???)
Alastor betrays the hotel. listen it's gonna happen might as well just get it out of the way.
cameos from the other sins
more Emily!!! please!!! i love her so
Charlie and Vaggie go on a date and everyone else is both spying on it + trying to keep things from going horribly wrong
at least one birthday party for someone. i just think it'd be sweet.
Adam is now a sinner... and joins the Vee's. cue some sort of Alastor vs Lucifer vs Vox vs Adam scene
i wanna see what Velvette's plans are like. give me an episode based on something she's schemed up.
Angel Dust, Husk, and Cherri get to do a heist. i think they deserve it.
Vox kidnaps Lucifer
Charlie gets at least two more cool fight scenes where she kicks someone's ass
BODYSWAP EPISODE.
they get to go to the amusement park Lucifer built.
i genuinely wanna see one of the archangels (Lucifer's siblings) show up. it'll either be the funniest thing ever or the saddest thing ever and i'm hyped for either option.

Limbus Tamers
The limbus brainrot is terminal and digimon has been worming its way back so why not combine the two together. I’m not the biggest Digimon nerd (mainly watched some Adventure, 02 and Tamers and played Digimon world 3 and Cybersleuth) so I’ve been using Wikimon to help with the evolution lines, while  yes I could just mix and max anything I tried to use Digimon that actually evolve into one another.
I may do another one with Dante, Charon and Vergilius plus any Sinner I want revisit. So onward to my dubious picks!
Tumblr media
For Yi Sang I chose this line mostly for his desire to have wings and his association with crows. Plus Yatagaramon is cool.
Tumblr media
For Faust I focused on her witch imagery, what with her base E.G.O. giving her a broom and her codename being Walpurgisnacht, and her vast knowledge with Impmon being a stand in for Mephistopheles (I know Mephismon exist I already had settled on witchmon and needed a rookie). AncientWisemon could have gone to Yi Sang since he invented the mirror we use to pull the gacha but it still have that sorcerer vibe.
Tumblr media
For La Creatura I settled for the Guilmon line mostly because Gallantmon/Dukemon, being a Royal Knight, fitted with her knightly delusions and also because I remember Guilmon going feral at some points in Tamers. Plus if we go for Dark Digivolutions,when Don completely snaps she could go down the Megidramon (or even ChaosDukemon) route similarly to Takato.
Tumblr media
I hesitated a bit with Ryoshu so I ended doing both ideas: I kinda cobbled this one together trying to concile her ties to fire (her E.G.O inflict burn,the “cooking” of the Kebab and that one picture of her burning everything using as her steed) and art with Etemon being a singer and Piedmon being a clown (and circus artist in general).  Plus the Dark Master have throwing knives/swords. 
Tumblr media
This one was more was more based on her swordplay and the fact she’s ... ok maybe not “honourable” but she’d rather not do it the “coward’s way”, she straight up refused to disguise herself during the casino heist and wanted to face the Shi assassin head on in Canto IV. So Musyamon popped into my mind and then went up the evo line to try and keep the samurai/ronin theme and Kunemon is here because I couldn’t use Kotemon as it doesn’t digivolve into Musyamon. 
Tumblr media
Mr Salt got the Andromon line because he’s very robotic at times, a cog in the machine if you will, plus he is a tank of a man so Guardromon fits well. Also I thought it would be funny if somehow the machine Digimon ended up being more prone to make judgements than its human partner. 
Tumblr media
I didn’t know where to go with Hong Lu, I tried with the Devas and little more with Lopmon’s line then I saw QueenChessmon and went “Chess is pastime for hoity-toity rich folk and Hong Lu is a rich boy” and went from there. Not really satisfied but it just clicked in the moment. ... If Hong Lu is playing some 5d chess with us I SWEAR TO -
Tumblr media
Another double feature with the other sinner with double seats privilege ... this was completely incidental. This one is based on the brutish side of Heathcliff though Ogremon can be cunning as can our angry british. Titamon is also connected to revenge (specifically against the Olympos XII) so it fits as well. I know Rebellimon doesn’t digivolve to Titamon but fuck it ! I didn’t want Digitamamon on here and that’s the only exception I made, I just wanted to keep mean green demon all the way.
Tumblr media
This one came frame from a flash about Telepole Heathcliff and since He’s a bastard I couldn’t him give a regular Gabumon.
Tumblr media
I just had to give Fishmael a Whamon because of Moby Dick. As for the rest: I picked Gomamon because I thought it’d be funny to have a laid back partner with how rigid she can be; Dolphmon to transition between Gomamon and Whamon and Plesiomon because it’s a traditional Mega for Gomamon alongside Vikemon.
Tumblr media
I must admit being stumped and just going “Waifumon go !”. Might revisit her with a more fitting line sometime.
Tumblr media
For Sinclair at first I wanted to give him an avian line then stumbled upon Tsukaimon digivolving into Pidmon and went “time to go the angel route” as a spin on Patamon. Outside of MagnaAngemon (and Angewomon for that matter) I tried not to use Adventure/02 digimon. I picked Dominimon but hesitated between it, ClavisAngemon and SlashAngemon.
Tumblr media
For Outism I first wanted to have an Olympos XII member then wondered whether or not there was a trojan horse digimon, Lo and behold there was ! As for the rest I worked my way down : Cherrymon being a duplicitous tree (he tried to manipulate Yamato during the Dark Master arc) fit Outis being suspicious, kiwimon is kind of a filler pick and Alraumon is a fake Palmon. 
Tumblr media
Finally for Gregor I picked the Wormmon line though with some changes. I chose Snimon instead of Stingmon to harken to G Corp Gregor and while there’s a roachmon I felt it was too on the nose. As for Bloomlordmon I hesitated with going with GranKuwagamon or HeraclesKabuterimon but leaned more on this one mainly to distance a bit from bugs since Gregor has two plant based E.G.O.
That should be it for now.

Set just when Mick and Leonard leave ford the Legends.
Lisa rushed into Jitters and waited around lazily at the counter. She really needed to get away from her idiot brother and his even more stupid partner. She could't believe that she came back to the warehouse after driving around the state and what did she find? Nothing and no one.
Leonard left a note telling her not to do any big heists without them. And then said they were trying to go on a time traveling mission without her.
She honestly thought they would include her in more stuff since she joined them. But no, Leonard thought this one was "too dangerous" for her.
"Who the hell does he think he is" Lisa thought angrily.
She wasn't some little kid anymore, frankly she had never really been a kid. She had learned to handle herself since she was 7 years old. How to avoid questions from "helpful" adults and teachers, how to punch someone, how to make dinner for herself when Lewis was too drunk or didn't bother to come home that night.
Do it yourself or starve by yourself. That's what she learned.
She had been so excited to join her brother and Mick in all their heists together, the thrill of going on the run, the money she would get, the absolute pride when she took a diamond encrusted watch that would feed her for years off the wrist of another smarmy yuppy guy that she met at a club.
Oh yes, life in the bad lane was good.
And then the two left, telling her to not do anything "dangerous." Right. She would show them, maybe she was going to go steal from the bank again, no she was going to crash the White House. That would show them.
She knew she secretly disappointed her brother when she asked to join him instead of going to collage and getting a degree. He always said that he wanted her to do better but learning had never been Lisa's style.
Besides wherever Len went, she tended to follow. A habit that remained from her younger years when she would follow Lenny around to avoid Lewis.
She glanced around the door. So cheery and slightly boring with it's clear-cut walls that reminded her of a duller colored version of Starbucks.
Normally she would have headed over to Saints & Sinners or another store for a pack of alcoholic drinks but she decided she wasn't going to add drunken stupidity to her mess of feelings right now. She needed to think and stew about what Leonard and Mick did to her. Then plan how she was going to roast them for leaving her when they came back.
She was still glowering about it when a long-haired latino boy entered the cofee shop.
"Cisco Ramon" Lisa smirked. She remembered him fondly. He had been rather cute when she was lying to him before his kidnapping, and he held a certain charm that Lisa couldn't hep smile at.
"Cisco Ramon" Lisa smirked. She remembered him fondly. He had been rather cute when she was lying to him before his kidnapping, and he held a certain charm that Lisa couldn't hep smile at.
Then there was the whole thing with her father. She really appreciated what he did for her. Saving her life, and Lenny's life and everything. The kiss was especially good. She never thought that such a dork like him could be a strong kisser. He beaten her tongue quickly and that just made her want to pull him closer. Make the kiss never end.
"Hell-O, Cisco" Lisa purred, sidling up to him in line.
"Oh Lisa, I didn't know, I mean I didn't think you would still be, you're back um...um hi" Cisco squeaked
"Thought I was still out of town. Well I'm back" she smiled, deciding to screw him "I came for you, Ramon"
"Really?" he blushed, looking so pleased that Lisa almost hated to burst his bubble. Almost.
"Well mainly for some more cons but you were a stop I was planning to make too" Lisa said, as the barista called up her order.
"More heists? But I though that Captain Cold and Heatwave.." he trailed off when he saw her glare "You're all alone here?"
"Not all alone. Just temporarily in charge of stealing everything from Central while they go do whatever they're doing." Lisa said, taking a sip of decaf
"Go time traveling with Rip" Cisco offered
"Yeah, that." Lisa rolled her eyes
"I get it. My girlfriend, well my ex-girlfriend Kendra also left to join them." Lisa raised an eyebrow.
"Girlfriend? Why Cisco? Have you've been holding out on me" Lisa grinned, imaging what goods he must be hiding under the covers.
Cisco blushed furiously, "We're in public, Lisa"
"I see...Can't you at least give me an estimate" she chewed her lip, stifling a snort at his horrified expression of embarrassment
"No!" Cisco said a little too loudly, drawing harsh looks from two of the tables near them.
"Guess I'll find out myself." Lisa finished, earning another embarrassed glance from Cisco as he looked to see if anyone was actually listening to their scandalous conversation.
Deciding to let him off the hook, she moved to another topic "So what's so special about this ex?"
"Oh well she is really sweet, and into nature, and she just moved here and she has the best sense of humor. She actually quotes Star Wars movies!" Cisco started to ramble on.
Lisa put a finger to his lips, silencing him "I meant why was she chosen to go on the mission" she said. She felt a little twinge of jealousy when he started listing all the things he liked about his ex. She coils be sweet if she was in the mood too, and she knew Star Wars quotes. She didn't know them voluntarily, but what girl would like Star Wars voluntarily? This ex probably just googled the quotes to impress him.
"Oh can't really say. Flash stuff" Cisco answered
"So you have to really be close with the Flash to get on" Lisa mumbled. She guessed her brother fit the bill, he knew his identity and everything. Still it was unfair, she wanted to tangle with the big guns for once.
"You must wish you could join him" Cisco nodded, as he paid the cashier for his cup. He said it matter-of-factly and not at all with pity or attempt to comfort her.
"Just to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid. Maybe steal something worthwhile." Lisa replied.
She wished it hadn't happened so soon. she still wanted to talk to him about killing their father, and it had only been a few months since she started helping him with thefts. She really did want to spend time with him. Make up for those years he took care of her by being a useful partner that he could respect.
"You know if you ever..want to..like if you have nothing else to do..um you can stop by the Labs. I always need a movie buddy" Cisco suggested. His eyes looked at her sincerely, and she could tell that he meant it as an honest invitation. Not just to get into her pants like so many other guys.
"I would like that, I'll think about it" Lisa said
They sipped their coffee in companionable silence as they leaned on the counter.
Suddenly Cisco's pone ranged loudly with some techno beat and he almost dropped his cup. He scrambled to open the phone.
"Yeah uh huh no way! Got it, on my own" Cisco nodded intently from his side of their phone conversation looking serious and slightly worried.
He turned it off and chugged the rest of his drink.
"Well duty calls" he nodded to her as he started to walk out the door. Lisa decided to make her decision now while he was still in the shop, less of a chance for her to start stewing about the stupid time traveling thing again.
"Hey Cisco" she shouted as he was about to close the door behind him, "I'll see you Saturday" she waved her cup of coffee and saw a genuine smile replace his worried frown.
"Great meet you at the Lab" he called and raced off
Lisa sipped her drink again, noticing that it tasted sweeter. Satisfied, she dumped it in the trash and walked out.
There was no time to give too much thought to her brother and Mick. Maybe an hour or two of planning revenge. But then she would have to get a head start on finding an outfit for her date. She desperately needed to steal some new jewelry.
She was so glad that she chose to get coffee today.

Took a while, but finally finished my Hazbin Hotel sona. And sort of perfect timing since the show will getting a full release soon. Also to clarify, Victoria is not my irl name. I only used that because it starts with a V. Like V for Vetor. And keep in mind that this character is not based on my actual life. My life is much much different from this character. Think of it as like an alternate universe where instead of my life going well. It all went to hell. Literally.
Here's her info _____
Name : Burnet
True Name : Victoria
Pronouns : She/her They/Them
Gender : Genderfluid ( Biologically Female )
Sexuality : Bisexual
Age : 21 ( Biologically )
Cause of Death : Burned in a burning building
Year of Death : 2016
Species : Sinner Demon
Appearance : Moth with mantis claws and stinger
Abilities : Flight/Gliding, breath fire, extend mantis claws, retractable stinger, use sharp claws on her hands and feet, and endoskeleton can reach high temperatures
Facts/Other Info :
She has an older brother.
Her mother was always absent and her father always aggressive and talked down to both her and her brother. At age 16, she and her brother decided to run away from home together. Taking on the job of drug dealing and robbing to pay for shelter and food.
During a drug heist. Someone set the building they were stealing at on fire. Her brother and other robbers were able to get out. But Victoria was trapped inside. The last thing she saw before she burned to death. Was a moth that was trying to escape the growing flames.
Her fire ability is a reflection on the anger and aggressive thoughts she had on her father, mother, and any others that harassed or bullied her during her human life. And now being a Sinner Demon. She has a very difficult time controlling her emotions.
Due to being a Moth. She is unable to consume anything solid or liquid that is too thick. She can consume liquids or slight thick liquids.

About THE SALVATION GAMBIT:
A hotheaded hacker must outwit the AI at the heart of a rogue warship–turned–penal colony if she and her crew of con women want to escape with their lives in this electrifying sci-fi thriller from the acclaimed author of Bonds of Brass. Murdock has always believed in Hark, the woman who shaped her from a petty thief and lowlife hacker into a promising con artist. Hark is everything Murdock aspires to be, from her slick fashion sense to her unfailing ability to plan under pressure. Together with Bea, a fearless driver who never walks away from a bet, and Fitz, Murdock’s infuriatingly mercurial rival who can sweet-talk the galaxy into spinning around her finger, they form a foursome with a reputation for daring heists, massive payoffs, and never, ever getting caught. Well, until now. Getting caught is one thing. Getting tithed to a sentient warship that’s styled itself into a punitive god is a problem this team has never faced before. Aboard the Justice is a world stitched together from the galaxy’s sinners—some fighting for survival, some struggling to build a civilized society, and some sacrificing everything to worship the AI at the heart of the ship. The Justice’s all-seeing eyes are fixed on its newest acquisitions, Murdock in particular. It has use for a hacker—if it can wrest her devotion away from Hark. And Murdock’s faith is already fractured. To escape the Justice’s madness, they need a plan, and Hark might not be up to the task. If Hark—brilliant, unflappable Hark—can’t plot a way out, Murdock will have to use every last trick she’s learned to outwit the Justice, resist its temptation, and get her crew out alive.
