Older brothers with an artist MC who secretly likes to draw them!

A/N: I've noticed that there are a lot of artists in this fandom (Like me) who also happen to write fics as well! Also thank you guys so much for the support on my last work???! Like that's the most support I've ever received on a fic and I genuinely cried because of how happy I was. So, once again, thank you guys so so so much and I hope you enjoy ❤

Lucifer didn't really think much of the fact the fact that you were seated in his office while he did paperwork. In fact he couldn't really care less since you were sitting quietly; device in hand as you scribbled away at your latest drawing.

He'd only found out recently that you were an artist after he stumbled upon you in the courtyard at school, sketchbook in hand as you concentrated on the details of your masterpiece. His brothers didn't even know which made his chest swell with pride as he thought about how he was the only one who knew. A shared secret between the two of you. From then on you'd come to his office whenever you wanted to draw in silence.

However, he'd be lying if he wasn't curious about what you were drawing. You'd mentioned you drew what you loved before, but what exactly was that? It was such an ambiguous answer. What's more is he'd never seen any of your art, leaving the demon hungry for answers.

Tilting his head up from his papers he turned to look at you, only to be met with your intense stare. At that moment he'd put two and two together, though just to confirm his suspicions he decided to teasingly ask you what you were staring at him for.

Your eyes widened in shock as you failed to look at him any longer fearing what he might do to you otherwise if he found out you were drawing him. You tried to prolong the inevitable truth to him, though in the back of your mind you knew he'd found out.

"Y/N," he mused as he finally got a clear glimpse of your tablet "I do recall you saying something about how you only drew things you love. Do you have something you need to tell me, dear?"

Mammon wasn't sure how he landed himself in this situation. All he knew is that this would be one hell of a conversation. Since your birthday was coming up, he wanted to get you something truly special as your "first demon."

As he crept into your bedroom he began his search for inspiration. He knew you were currently out with the twins since they wanted to take you to the new ice cream shop that had just opened in Devildom. Knowing that he had at least half an hour to look he began his search not long after you left.

However after what felt like an hour of searching he came up empty handed. nervousness crept into his mind as he thought about the last resort which would be asking you for your own thoughts on what he should get you. What would you think of him then? After all that big talk he couldn't even get you a special gift.

He shook his head in an attempt to get rid of those pesky thoughts and continued his search. What he wasn't expecting was to a HUGE pile of sketchbooks in the second drawer of your desk. How come he never knew you were an artist? Though, the more he thought about it the more it made sense seeing as you liked to draw little doodles on your notes. A lot.

However if those books in your desk truly were for drawing then what was your muse? What caused the mountain of crumpled pages next to your desk? The more he thought about it the more he began to desire just a glimpse of your masterpieces.

He paced back and forth as he tried to think of his options and if he should even be doing this since he'd just accidentally invaded your privacy. Though if he didn't even know what medium you used to create then how would he get you the perfect gift?

That was the thought process that lead him to where he currently was. Sitting at the table where everyone's eyes bored holes into him as he tried to think of a liable excuse as to how he knew a wacom drawing tablet was the perfect gift for you. "I promise I only saw the sketchbooks" he reasoned. "That's good." you sighed "... Well I suppose it's not anything too inappropriate to share, but I only sketch the things that mean the most to me."

It wasn't until he was alone in his room after the party where he finally connected the dots of what you'd said and what you drew, causing him to blush, rendering him speechless.

Levi was at a loss for words. How come you never shared this beautiful talent of yours with the world?! With how good you were you could be a mangaka. That was pure hard work he saw as he stared at the drawing of the Lord of Shadows.

"It's nothing really. I really love his design. I mean I messed up his hair style. It's a bit different from Christopher Peugeot's description." you huffed as you continued to scrutinize your work.

"What?! No! It's stunning! Your choice of color here is amazing! Not to mention with the way you drew his outfit I can see just how much you pay attention to detail! On top of that the angle you drew this is breathtaking! With your skill you could become a pro in no time!" he shook your shoulders.

When he finally stopped shaking you, you took the chance to explain how you didn't really want to go into the art business as a professional with how cutthroat it was. You were afraid of making the the wrong choice and regretting it later.

Truly he couldn't blame you. When he thought about it, he understood where you were coming, but he couldn't help but feel conflicted on the fact that he'd be one of the few fortunate people in this timeline who'd be able to see your art.

"Well... It's your choice, but would it be alright if I saw more of your art?" he asked. At this question you froze before attempting to come up with a lame excuse to leave. That was until fate decided to play a cruel prank on you by making you trip over air as you attempted to exit the room, sketchbook facing open as it laid on the floor a few feet from you.

"I-I-I-Is that me?" Levi stammered, accidentally dropping you as he stared at it in awe and shock. At this he hid hid face in his hands while profusely apologizing for both looking at your sketchbook and dropping you.

Silence enveloped the two of you after you managed to assure Levi that it was alright. After you finished the debate in your head you decided to finally answer his question. "... About your question earlier... Yeah. That's you. I-I only draw things I like ya know." you blushed as you realized you accidentally confessed.

"Y-Y-YOU LIKE ME?!" he gasped as his eyes widened, face rivaling the color of Lord Diavolo's jacket. "You- I- Um- I-I-I like you too" he stuttered before enveloping you in a hug, thinking about how he was the luckiest otaku in the world.

HEY i'm here to do that stupid sappy thing where i make a new years post and thank everyone for the great year.

i already said this on twt but i can genuinely say that i have never had this much fun in a fandom before. i've never CLICKED with a fandom and its participants in the way that i've clicked with the stranger things fandom. i've made more finished art than i have for any other franchise, i think. i've never gotten to connect with people and make friends in a fandom like i have with the stranger things fandom. THE FRIENDS IVE MADE ARE SOME OF THE BEST IVE HAD IN LIKE. EVER. you guys are seriously so awesome. NOT TO MENTION ALL THE INCREDIBLE PEOPLE THAT I ALWAYS SEE IN MY REBLOG TAGS AND REPLIES. i've had the privilege to get to meet, know, and interact, with some of the nicest and most talented people ever. it's been such a good year BECAUSE of the connections i've made.

𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎: honey

𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚜: they/them

𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚏𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚖𝚞𝚗𝚒𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗: discord

𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚖𝚘𝚜𝚝 𝚊𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚟𝚎 𝚖𝚞𝚜𝚎: @khrused. currently on my mind: ruby matthews, christine daaé, gazala bravard, makawi-sa, esme cullen

𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎/𝚑𝚘𝚠 𝚕𝚘𝚗𝚐 (𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚑𝚜, 𝚢𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚜?): in general, i've been rping since uh 6th grade? so however long ago that was lol but on tumblr i started with liara t'soni back in 2013? i think? my sophomore year of college .

𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚜 𝚞𝚜𝚎𝚍: when i was a weee baby on the internet lol i started rping in forums. i eventually moved to skype, then tumblr! now add discord in and that's pretty much it.

𝚋𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎: ya know, every time i've joined a fandom it always ended up turning kind of gross or toxic but i think the very beginning of my tumblr rp years lol there were no rules. it was the wild wild west out there and its crazy that i still have rp friends from that era like tati, @vaedar and @wcsea ! and that's so fucking wild isn't it??? lol but i rly think the best experience was meeting my best friend who doesn't rp on here anymore so i can't tag him but i love him so much. we actually met via an ex who was in the ovw fandom, and when we broke up they were like !! right there bc that guy kinda fucked us both over so ya know we bonded and wow i love him so much rly owe a lot of my growth to him. wish you could read this rn milo bby !! and i would say meeting and befriending rosemary @musecraft who i would also like to thank for a lot of my growth as a person and friend and just...idk i love you so much too!!! and i think we og met as multis right? or was it hera? i think it was the multi! wow i cant even remember now bc i feel like i've known u my whole life and even tho we never met irl i feel like !!!! i have already? idk. u mean !! the world to me and i love you to pieces. and i truly truly thank u from the bottom of my heart for just !! idk making that move to speak to me one day and letting me be your friend <3 and lastly even though we're not on great terms anymore i guess but i gotta say rly thankful for my most recent ex. i just rly appreciate that they allowed me to explore my imagination and rly encouraged me to dive into characters i never thought i would before, or to dive further into the ones i already love. like london??? existing is all bc of my ex. lunafreya too. makawi-sa as well. they may not be my favorite person anymore but they rly gave me a space to be creative and i have to acknowledge that. AND LASTLY LASTLY gosh this is like a rly long thank u speech but @honnleathrose .... wow. i know we're not as close as we used to be anymore but meeting you, our friendship, everything you've taught me about photoshop and writing and just being a good person and standing up for myself. meeting you !! and having those laughs and skype sessions with you were everything!! and i love and miss you and truly meeting / befriend you is on my top list of the best things tumblr has given me. so as much as i complain about this site now... i got my reasons to stay <3

𝚛𝚙 𝚙𝚎𝚝 𝚙𝚎𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚜/𝚍𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚋𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚔𝚎𝚛𝚜: i mean other than the usual don't be an asshole shit but when ppl are just ?? mean and angry?? for no reason??? there's truly no reason to be so up in arms all the time !! i rly think ppl, espec on the internet. are just... so in the defense all the time and its rly hard. as someone as anxious as i am it makes approaching ppl rly hard now. so yeah, if u give me that vibe. thats it. i'm done. also when ppl don't get that i just dslgdfjk i need time sometimes. i'm not fast !! ooc or ic. i'm tired and depressed and i want to write and talk when i want to , ya know?

𝚏𝚕𝚞𝚏𝚏, 𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚜𝚝, 𝚜𝚖𝚞𝚝: 👀👀👀 all of them !! but y'all know smut has a special place in my heart. i love smut lol but also angst. pls hurt my feelings

𝚙𝚕𝚘𝚝𝚜 𝚘𝚛 𝚖𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚜? both !! but definitely plotting. the more you plot with me, the more we create together the easier it is for me to write! to create and know how to respond. othertimes i get rly stuck on whether YOU'D THINK ITS OKAY. so truly the more we plot, the better!!!

𝚕𝚘𝚗𝚐 𝚘𝚛 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚛𝚝 𝚛𝚎𝚙𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚜? i truly don't care !! just write with me <3

𝚋𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚠𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚎?: when i'm smoking and drinking my coffee and got a good show or movie or podcast in the background uwu

𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚖𝚞𝚜𝚎? in some sense there's a part of me in every muse! but i think the muses i gravitate towards the most are @khrused and rosalie hale, mainly due to their histories and pasts. hera was birthed as an exploration of my own trauma years and years ago when i was rly struggling with all the realizations in college. and rosalie.... i just... what happened to her is what happened to me (except murder ofc) and i've always HATED the way sm/eyer wrote her in the books... i just...it was a personal vendetta for me to get it right. so i own rosalie hale now. she is mine. and i will make it right. just like !! i worked through my own shit !! ya know?

tagged by: @wcsea thank u my love !!

❤️🧡💛

hello!! assuming this for fma cuz that's how we met ehehe

❤️: Which character do you think is the most egregiously mischaracterized by the fandom?

a lot of my very very dear friends have this opinion and i don't want to start any shit about it bc i think everyone is allowed to have opinions! but there's a VERY popular characterization of lust - which is even on her wiki - that she does not represent lust but actually bloodlust. and iiiiiii. okay. i think that death of the undying is exactly no one's base normal state. and i think that using death of the undying to explain her desires is not looking at the full picture. out of her siblings she is the most careful, the most responsible, she holds them back from violence and doesn't like... chase people down? like she fails to kill maes hughes and then just lets envy take care of it. or in the manga she threatened a child and then got the information she wanted out of marcoh because of it. she could have killed the kid, but she didn't. like... yeah i think she enjoys violence, but i don't think she purses it with the same kind of vigor as someone comprised of bloodlust would.

i don't think she really gets to be lust either though, which is kind of sad, but i think she's actually in a really similar position to sloth of people. like, sloth is lazy, but he doesn't get to be, because he has a job to do. similarly, any actual seduction lust does is part of her job and like, for her father. so anyway yeah. i think she isn't bloodlust, but she doesn't get to be lust itself either, and she should get to be.

🧡: What is a popular (serious) theory you disagree with?

i disagree with fandom theories all the time but i truly am drawing such a blank here. keep just thinking about popular characterizations and ships instead. i guess parental royai or like, the idea that roy & riza are like parents to the elrics. to me they are like. older cousins or aunt/uncle or just Significant Adults That Don't Have To Be Family But Are Still Important Because That's How Life Is. especially bc to me if anyone is their adopted parent it's sigzumi. or pinako.

💛: What is a popular ship you just can’t get behind, and why?

i think most people who follow me probably know that my answer to this is royai. which is. wild because i'm literally in a royai server but like. they are queerplatonic. to me. i could talk abt it all day but im sure people have heard all that so instead,

and in the spirit of the spiciness of this ask game,

i will also add that i personally do not like olivier/riza at all. the evidence that i've seen people use for it - the line where olivier asks about her wellbeing - she also asks about havoc's! which honestly. to me. is so fucking awesome. her two best friends in east are RIZA AND HAVOC?? and the fact that she intentionally put them on the same level to me implies she sees them the same way and i can't imagine her categorizing both of those things as romantic. also. i feel very strongly that like. riza is already someone's little guy and olivier already has two little guys and they're both really happy with that set up. so them being best friends is honestly so special to me and i wanna see more of that !

ONCE AGAIN NO HATE TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE THESE OPINIONS/THINK THESE THINGS I LOVE YOU AND YOU'RE VALID

#ask #tacticalgrandma #thank you!

Dear Jade,

You have no idea how much I love an appreciate you. You became friends with me when a lot of people weren’t anymore. I know you don’t really know about that but I had lost a lot of friends before you started talking to me. I was getting pretty sad and I started watching obx. After that, I joined the fandom and you were my first friend. When we got to talking we had so much in common and I was so glad to have met you. You helped me through more than you realize and I’m so happy to call you my friend. You’re by far the sweetest, most kind person I have ever met. You’re like a big sister to me and I’ve never had someone like they before so I’m very gratful. I love and appreciate you so much, remember that.

@verified-dumbass

Jade,

you are the sweetest person I've ever known. I know the times we interact are few, but everytime we talk you manage to uplift my mood simply by being so genuinely nice. The positivity you radiate is immeasurable and I know it sources from your kind soul. Even though the world has shown you hardships and you've gone through so many challenges- more then I can imagine- you never have taken out your emotions through hate and I have such admiration for you for that. You are so beautiful, (both inside and out,) you are so strong, and you are so loved. Never forget how much you mean to the world. ❤

Hey Jade,

so I know the past few months have been hard on you and I just wanted to let you know how loved and appreciated you are. You're one of the best friends a person could ask for and I'm overjoyed that I was one of the lucky persons who had the chance to meet you. I hope you enjoy the rest of the summer and know that our conversations are one of the things I will miss the most at basic. I love you bunches babe 💜@marvelrose01

Dear Jade,

How insane is it that something as simple as a show can bring two people like us together. Two people who live so far away from each other, and who would have never known each other other wise if it wasn’t for their crazy stupid love for a show and their tumblr blogs. We became friends over a comment about being short, and a second comment about being hard of hearing. I have never been so thankful for a dumb app because that dumb app lead me to you. The friendship and love that you and I have developed in the past two months is truly one and a million and I am consistently amazed by your strength and will. We talk every single day and I wouldn’t change a single thing!! I’ve been with you through some good times and some bad times, and honestly all I can say is that shit gets better, it truly does. Sometimes it has to get worse first, which sucks, but it always always always will get better, and you always have a friend in me. I love you, I appreciate you, I value you and what you have to say, I am thankful for you, and I am lucky to know you and have you be my friend. From Bri+JSquared, to the serious life conversations that we have and the struggles we go through, I wouldn’t give it up for a single thing. I love you to the ends of the earth Jady Baby.

Bri, @overly-b

Exactly one year ago, I posted my first Ninjago fanfiction on Tumblr

(Yes, this is one of these big and personal posts, but bear with me for a second ^w^)

I've already talked about how much Ninjago means to me, and what a positive impact it has had on my life, but to celebrate a year into this fandom, I'd like to focus on its community here on Tumblr.

I've always been into Ninjago. In fact, I started watching it back in 2011, when it first came out!

Later on, I discovered fanfiction. It was like a dream come true, to read original stories about my favorite ninja, and to write them myself too! Eventually I began posting them, and I must say... They weren't good XD

But hey, I loved writing them! So I did just that - I kept writing and writing, until... Well, I grew out of Ninjago when I reached 7th grade.

But last year, I decided to rewatch the entire series during Christmas break. It was like falling in love with my favorite ninja all over again.

And who would have thought there would be an active fanbase here on Tumblr?

I remember scrolling down the tag and smiling at every single artwork and piece of fanfic (+ memes, of course. Who can forget about memes?) that I found.

(And bruh, discovering bruiseshipping? Holy FSM, that was truly a Christmas miracle.)

On December 28th of 2017, I made my first Ninjago Vocal Cover.

undefined

youtube

The feedback I got was incredible. I had never, ever received such positive comments before, and the encouragement to do more helped me get out of the bad mental state I was in.

So I got writing again.

If I was going to post Ninjago, I was going to post Pixane.

So I did do that, and on January 1st of 2018, I posted my first Ninjago fanfiction in years.

Did I post it as soon as I finished it? Yes!

Had I beta-ed it? ... No...?

It was still a huge step for me though! Once that story was up, I was on freaking fire.

To make you understand, I published a total of 30 Ninjago related stories (and that was just the stuff I made public!)

I have never produced this much content before!

If that wasn't enough, I picked up my YouTube channel again, occasionally made some art, and heck, somehow I got motivated to clean up my room to make space for LEGOs.

I even had the pleasure of hosting a collaborative project with around 30 people! (Yes, the new one is on the way, we're all still working on it :D)

undefined

youtube

Suddenly I was motivated to do stuff, I wasn't sad all the time, I made new friends!

All that is because of YOU.

I'm just a random girl from Greece that happens to like a bunch of LEGO ninja. Yet, you've treated me with so much kindness, and made me feel like so much more than that.

I'm not oblivious to the fact that I am known inside this fanbase. I just want to make sure you know that you made my voice loud.

And for that, I am greatful.

I am greatful for the joy you've given me, and the memories I was able to make because of you.

I've always wanted this blog to be a place of positivity. It makes me so incredibly happy that you can seek to it to get away from everything else, that it makes you happy.

This blog, is our blog.

So I'd like to take a moment to personally thank a few people from this community that played an important role in my life in 2018. If you don't want to go through a big thank you list, that is totally understandable, so I'll put it under the cut. To those of you who are leaving this post now,

Happy New Year!

Before I start, I'd like to say that it would be impossible to include every single person I know into one post. If you're not in here but you're still relatively active, chances are I don't know you personally (but I have probably noticed you!) OR I accidentally forgot to include you, in which case I'M SO SORRY, AAAA!

Without any further ado!

Thank you @diamantdrache, for drawing me like three times without me even asking, holy crap ;w; You're so amazing dude, I'm always happy to see you around. Keep being awesome!

Thank you to @strawberryhipster and @kunoichi-of-fangirling for always screaming with me about Pixane!

Thank you @i-am-the-bluejay for making me laugh through your amazing bruise fanfics! They never failed to cheer me up :D

A special thanks to @parachutingkitten, for, gosh, everything. Discovered your fanfics during a very hard time, and trying to solve the mystery behind them kept me going. You're so kind and sweet to me all the time, and I'm so happy we ran into each other!

Huge thanks to @volzorra for dropping by my inbox to tell me the randomest of things! I adore everything you do, keep it up!! :D

Thanks to @panwitha-plan, @purplerose244, @monstriframinerva and @ninjago-rewritten for making me giggle whenever you pop up in my feed and notifications! You guys rock 💜

A big one to @ninjakitten1699 for coming up with such amazing scenarios featuring the one true mastermind of Ninjago - Dr. Kitty Saunders! Not only that, but somehow you always remember what stuff I like, and tag me in funny posts (and angst bc I live for that) and making my day! Thank you so much for everything!

Thank you @coco-jaguar for being a mom to all of us in the fandom, and organising such cool events like the Secret Santa!

Thanks to @loud-quiet-and-fragile for going through 100 of my posts at once and commenting at every single one! You're just so fun to be around, and my mood instantly improves when I see you!

You knew it was coming, @nightlybirdie! Thank you, for always responding to my yelling about your art, and for yelling on my content as well! You're one of the sweetest people I know, I'm seriously so happy we met!

Thank you to @kara-is-so-ninja!! For not only having such an amazing AU, but for spreading joy everywhere you go! I admire your work so freaking much, but I admire you as a person even more. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face 💜

Thank you @ninjagojed, for being so easy and fun to talk to! I enjoy your company to death!

HUGE THANKS TO MY WONDERFUL DAUGHTER @lindsey-chr-not-found!! I've known you for so long and, its amazing we found each other again! Thanks for screaming to me about our ideas, and, well, for letting me adopt you XD

A big thanks to @echojulien for being such a supportive friend, and always there when I'm in need of our boy Echo!! :D

This is where it starts to get really difficult to fit things into a single paragraph...

To @hottchoco, who is basically one of the reasons I started shipping bruise in the first place, thank you for opening my eyes. Thank you for being that one person that is somehow into all of my fandoms at once, and screaming to me in random about them. Thank you for, even though we have different tastes sometimes, being respectful no matter what. Thank you, for being my shoulder to cry on when I need it. Thanks for everything dude :D 💜

Thank you @spinharmony, for creating a server where I made such amazing friends, and for BEING one of those amazing friends. It's so easy to talk to you about anything. You're always there, whether it's screaming about our misunderstood favorite characters, or talking about our problems. Thank you so much for just being there. I am so lucky to be able to call you my friend 💜

Thank you @hollsheadcanons!! You were one of the first people I met in this fandom, and definitely someone I was comfortable with since day one. We spend so much time just meming and yelling, that I literally feel like there's nothing to be afraid of when I'm with you. You make all my problems disappear, but you're also here to comfort me when I'm in need of hugs. Words are not enough to describe how much you mean to me. You're one of my best friends in the entire world, and for that, I thank you. Love you so much Holls!!💜

And finally, @clumsinessinperson and @ninjagoruinedmylife. You two, it feels wrong to talk about you separatedly because we're always together! I don't even know where to begin with you guys, I just love you so freaking much. No matter how upset I am, you always lift me up. You're so understanding of how I feel, and I know I can always count on you for anything. I just can't believe how close we are, and how many things we've created and been through together. I want you to know that you mean the world to me, and I love you so much. Thank you for being my friends. I love you 💜

To everyone reading this, regardless of being in my list or not, thank you so much for being part of my year, and for being part of my life. Thank you for everything 💜
