The Tumblr writing community is dying.

It’s something I’ve noticed over the past two years of using this site. It was gradual, imperceptible at first, something that most would brush off as a silly concern, or fault Tumblr algorithm for. While it’s true that Tumblr’s engine leaves a lot to be desired, I’ve noticed that even popular blogs have started to dwindle in terms of interaction or motivation. There could be a lot of reasons for this, but the biggest two I’ve noticed, experienced myself, and asked fellow writers about is this: (1) content being stolen, and (2) lack of feedback or interaction. I’ve never seen any logical person defend content being stolen, so I want to address point 2 instead.

Lack of feedback and interaction. I’m not saying this on my behalf so much as I’m saying this for friends and smaller blogs who have lost motivation to write. I was looking at my yandere writing blogs list the other day and noticed that a good majority of them no longer write. I usually update the list every few months, and by that point, more and more writers have stopped writing entirely. This isn’t a problem confined solely to the yandere fandom; in fact, there’s less writing blogs in general these days, especially ones that are active. I used to run a very popular BNHA blog with some friends, but that dissolved after our content was stolen and our followers stopped interacting as much. Out of our 8,500 followers, we hardly got 0.015% notes (~128 notes) on an average post. Tumblr is to blame for the lack of eyes seeing our posts, for sure, but that also means that at least 128 people saw one post and didn’t leave a comment or ask. We were considered a big blog; imagine what it’s like on a small blog.

My friend recently made a post that summed this up perfectly: 

“I’ve seen people say “Be grateful that people even lurk on your page.” and, while I get the message they’re trying to say, it’s more dismissive and hurtful in my opinion. Like you’re saying, “Oh your writing is mediocre, you should be grateful people even LOOK at it.”

Me personally? I’ve heard the argument that AO3 is a better place to post fanfics, and while that might be true, I’ve had friends experience firsthand the lack of interaction there too. I’ve heard the argument that interacting with some writers is intimidating (me included). I’ve heard that argument that followers might be too shy to interact. I’ve heard the argument that writers should write for themselves and not for views / likes / reblogs / etc, and while that’s ideal, it’s not sustainable for everyone. What works for one writer won’t work for another, but you know what will? Interaction.

That comment or ask that took you 2 seconds to write? We remember it. That reblog with the compliments in the tags? We remember it. Every single ‘named’ anon we get (heart anon, sunflower anon, etc)? We remember them. And the best part is? It’s actually easier to do these things on Tumblr since you have the option to send anonymous asks or make a sideblog specifically for reblogs! Trust me, whether the lack of interaction is the cause of a lack of motivation or what have you, every writer appreciates feedback (don’t be shy to offer some critique or compliments) or even a simple keyboard smash with some emojis. Even sitting down for 5 min a day per week to comment on your favorite writers’ new pieces makes a huge difference. Personally, since Tumblr’s activity feed is beyond terrible and I have over 1,500 posts, I don’t always see new reblogs or comments on my content; asks though? Always see those, can never go wrong with those. If you don’t want to reblog or leave a comment, then you can never go wrong with an anonymous ask. 

As my wise friend says: writing is an art, and in order to improve that art, we need other people’s eyes to see what we don’t.

For the sake of every writer (past, present, and future) on this platform, please share this post.

Nice! Could I please requests yandere headcanons of ghost Michael falling for female y/n? I imagine that since Mike dedicated a lot of his life trying to undo his father’s legacy he didn’t really fall in love with anyone before. Thank you in advance for writing!

note: I AM SO SORRY these took so long to do. i would use school as an excuse but no im just so slow at writing lmfao...hope the wait was worth it :,) i really like the idea of ghost yanderes this was very fun to write

warnings: yandere (but like. soft yandere. sort of) also angst. hella angst.

Yandere Ghost!Michael Headcanons

💜 - I think that, as a ghost, Michael would reside in his old home where he grew up. Visions of him and his little siblings playing together, smiling, laughing, playing before his eyes. Places where they hid from their father when he was mad at them, and where they would all sit and watch tv together, in a rare moment that everybody was in a good mood. But nearly every room was empty now, save for a few pieces of furniture, and even those had been replaced. Walls that were once chipped and cracking were replaced with new fresh coats of paint, any sign that anybody lived there before was gone.

💜 - A short while after that, you end up moving in. Michael finds it odd that you moved into such a big place, one surely meant to house a family, not just one person and her pet. He can't help the twinge of anger that festers inside of him when you start to move old furniture around, or certain rooms of the house go neglected when they need to be cleaned. He knows this anger is unreasonable, and that it isn't your fault, but watching his old home change, new memories being made inside of it, pains him.

💜 - As the weeks fade into months, Michael finds himself getting more and more attached to you. His eyes follow your every move, gaze lingering on your soft skin, your hair, your eyes. He's tried getting your attention before, by trying to possess certain objects or write on an open notepad, but nothing he did seemed to work. Although you might hear rumors from others, of the tragic deaths of Michael Afton and Henry Emily, his presence would forever remain unknown to you. The most you'll ever feel is a little chill crawl up your spine as his spirit passes right through you, arms held out to wrap you in an icy embrace.

💜 - Quickly starts to pick up on your little mannerisms. Tiny, insignificant things like the way you hold your pencil, little inflections in your voice when you pronounce certain words, hell, he's even memorized the tune of some songs that you hum to yourself. And could you blame him? All there is for him to do is watch you (not that he's complaining), admiring you as distant or as up close as he wants, a silvery, wispy hand enclosed over yours.

💜 - He soon begins to regret his reluctance to find a partner while he was alive. His mind had been too preoccupied to process the crushing loneliness, the empty hole in his heart only growing more and more as the years carried on until he finally had time to process these emotions when it was too late.

💜 - Sometimes you swear you can see a shadowy figure out of the corner of your eye. When you're walking down the halls late at night, you'll feel the rush of cool wind whisk by, or a blurry figure will appear at the end of the hall for a fraction of a second.

💜 - If you ever brought a partner to your home, Michael would be despondent, his brain wracked with rage, despair, and regret. He knew that you would inevitably find a lover. He is unable to do anything as he watches the two of you hold each other, whisper sweet nothings into the other's ears, and do all sorts of activities together. He wishes he'd found you sooner, and taken you away forever, kept all to himself to hold and love unconditionally. But that chance had slipped past his fingers, and now he could do nothing but watch, lament, and regret.

Yandere Spider Demon Family (platonic)

All Rui wanted was to fill that void of not having a family, he wanted that bond that he believed he hadn't gotten with his first family and that's just what he had created for himself. With the assistance of Master Muzan's blood, he was more then capable of bringing forth his vision of a family, his family. Albeit, his family wasn't necessarily "real" but that didn't hinder Rui from going along with his own delusions. After all, if he wanted a family then that's just what he was going to get, no matter how many disappointing, failing 'family members' he had to go through to achieve his image.

He is going to get his perfect family at any and all costs.

Rui

Rui would be the one to bring you into the family, of course he would, this is his family after all. He's the one who will decide whether you're fit for your role in being part of the family, critiquing anything and everything you do, no matter how small or minimal it maybe. He'll watch you closely, having the other family members watch you as well.

Maybe you're a demon who had run off to the mountain to flee from the Demon Slayer Corps or maybe you're a demon slayer who had been sent to take out whatever demon had been inhabiting the mountain, not knowing what you would be in for. Maybe you had gotten in the way of one of your comrades to protect them and that snapped something in Rui. Or you could be just some poor soul who wandered into their territory, how foolish of you (Imagine the Spider family with a human new addition, someone so much weaker and vulnerable compared to the rest of them.). It doesn't really matter how you came to be on the mountain, in their territory, watching you're every move Rui sees just how well you'd be as part of his family, deciding your fate then and there.

You'll be forced to be the closest to Rui, he'll keep you by his side if he has to to ensure that you two will be bonded. He will expect you to fulfill your role as whatever he gives you, holding high expectations not only for you but everyone who becomes part of the family. You won't be exempt from consequences and or punishments if you're deserving of them, but the least Rui will make an exception for is that he'll never kill you.

You'll surely, without a doubt, give into the family fantasy. At first, you'll just be playing house to save yourself from punishment or overall death, but you'll gradually fall into your role as part of the family, probably lying to yourself to the point of believing that they really are your family.

Rui, along with the rest of the family would probably prefer someone who is naive and kind, someone who can be easily manipulated and controlled by them. Having someone full of warmth and kindness would be a complete change compared to the cold and loneliness they all are subjected to, even within the family.

Rui can be rather possessive and territorial of you, even with the other family members, but they've learned their places by now. Or at least some of them have. The others will just have to be taught a lesson until it's carved into their memory that your time is mostly Rui's. He sees the other family members as disposable compared to you, you're the one that really means something to him, especially given his image of family.

He sees you as family and feels a real bond with you, unlike the 'fillers' that are your guys' other family members. Rui has no problem getting rid of them and just having it be the two of you but that would hurt you, wouldn't it? After all, you have grown to see them as family, how could you just let Rui take them away like that?

You'll be the only one who can manage to keep Rui at bay with his outbursts and bashing out at the others. You're able to save them from their inevitable dates, even just for a time, but you can't be their savior all the time. You do have a role to fulfill as as part of the family now, and Rui will remind you of that time after time.

Rui will have his soft moments, only with you though. The longer you prove your worth, filling your role and forming a real bond with him, he'll be more likely to allow himself to feel vulnerable with you. Something he didn't know he was capable of anymore. You'll be able to bring out the real Rui as long as you're willing to try.

Something that would really win Rui over is if you ever tried to protect him, he is the most powerful out of the family, so their isn't really any need for the others to protect him, but you going out of your way to do so would make Rui obsess over you all the more. He'll get emotional, especially if you got hurt as a result of protecting him.

Speaking of which, if you ever got hurt, whether from protecting him or by being attacked in general, Rui would lose his shit. He'll slaughter, shred, and do whatever he can to kill the person who did anything to you, even if it was another family member. He's not going to allow for anyone to hurt his family, especially you.

The other family members don't really have any of their own opinions about you, all that matters is that you fill your role, falling into place with the family. It won't take them until much later on, after playing house for awhile, that they'll really start to grow their own attachments to you.

Spider Father

Father is just as delusional as Rui, he fills his role as father just as he should and he expects everyone to do the same with their own roles. He is extremely protective of his family, willing to do just about anything for them. Whether that's due to his genuine care for his 'family' or just for his survival, it doesn't matter, as long as he fills his role at the end of the day.

Despite his investment towards his family, his children, you'll surely become his favorite. He'll gradually grow attached to you, being one of the first ones to not only fall along into the obsession of you, but to also be solely bonded to you, excluding Rui.

Father would have a such soft spot for you, you're presence alone is enough to calm him down. He doesn't want you seeing him lash out, especially towards Mother, he doesn't want you to be scared of him. He wants you to see him as a good father, someone you can count on for protection and providing. He never wants you to fear him, unlike anyone else.

He'll often check on you when he's doing his rounds, patrolling the mountain. He likes to check in and see if you're safe and well. You're probably a lot weaker compared to everyone else and he feels the need to protect you even more because of it, they all do.

Father can have his softer moments, not only with you but everyone else too, it only took you being brought into the family for there to be changes like that. He'll often give you and the children piggyback rides, or spiderback rides?, all around the mountain. You may even be able to get Rui to indulge in them too.

He also likes to play with your hair, something he only started doing when you came around, playing with with everyone's hair. He'll also give headpats or hair ruffles, you'll get loads of them.

You'll be able to get him to be much more gentle with Mother, too. Especially if you voice how much it hurts to see Mother crying and hurting, he'll do anything for you.

If anything ever happened to you, along with the rest of the family but mostly you, Father would go berserk. There's nothing that would stop his from destroying the people or demons who hurt you in any way. None of the family stand by and allow that to happen, ever.

Spider Mother

Mother would be apprehensive and weary of being too close with you given Rui and Father's own growing, festering attachments towards you. She's already been punished enough, she doesn't want to upset either of them any more then she already has, especially concerning you.

Showing any kind of kindness and gentleness to her would really draw her in. Everyone in the family can be so cruel and cold, but you're showing her something she hasn't had in a long time if at all. She'll bask in whatever warmth and affection you'll gift her with. It won't take her long to fall alongside Rui and Father in their obsession of you.

She'll learn to fill her role as mother by watching you and taking on some of your behavior and tendencies, which will earn her better resignation among the family, especially with Rui.

Mother would love to show you her dolls, performing little shows for you and the rest of the family. She also loves having you sit with her, sharing her rock and looking at the moon and the stars.

She's the softest out of the family, picking up on your warmth and affection, she'll gladly return it all tenfold. Mother really loves to hold you close, basking in your very existence, it really makes here feel so warm and...dare she say, "happy". You make her so happy and free, feelings she hasn't felt for a long time.

Mother loves to do your hair, no matter how long or short it may be, she loves messing with it in any and all ways.

You're her baby, her precious baby, and she will uphold her role as Mother just for you. She doesn't want you having another mother, no one could possibly take her place just like no one could possible replace you. She'll do her damndest to keep this family together, for you.

If anything ever happened to you, Mother would become enraged, she'll be heartbroken but she's going to lash out first. Once everything is said and done she'll be by your side once more, like any mother.

If you ever died, Mother would be the first to join you. She'll gladly walk out into the warm sunlight just to be with her baby again, the two of you being free together at least.

All the family members would eventually do the same, hoping to maybe be a family again in the afterlife, even if it is in Hell. Maybe you'll all even be returned into the same family, being together once again.

Spider Brother

(Whenever I see this dude, i just fucking lose it laughing. I don't know why.)

Brother is an odd one, he without a doubt likes the violence and chaos that was the original family before you came along and that's how it still is. He doesn't much care for you or your role in the family, honestly he most likely wishes you'd never came along to begin with but there's no going against Rui when he sets his mind on something.

He's definitely a little teasing shit, he'll do whatever to get a rise out of you, one way or another. If you're scared of his spider minions then he'll use that against you, you'll be seeing them everywhere from now on. If you hate that he just pops out of nowhere then he'll be doing it more often. He's that shitty brother who just never let's up about anything.

Rui, Father, and Mother will all have talks with him but it won't do much, at least Mother and Father won't really get any result from him. Rui, on the other hand, sure will. Brother will, at the very least, tone his teasing/cruel pranks down a smidge, but that's about all he'll do.

You may even thing that Brother hates you, but that couldn't be further from the truth. At first, he couldn't have cared less about you but the longer you're around and more fun he has with messing with you, the more he grows fond of you. Coming to realize that, in some twisted way, this is what a family is like, this is how siblings are with each other, at least to an extent.

He'll secretly adore his new little sibling but you're not getting a peep out of him about it, no one will ever get anything from him about it but they all know.

As vicious and cruel as Brother can be, he's much more terrifying and merciless when your safety is concerned or if he believessomeone is trying to take his place with you.

He won't tolerate anyone messing with his sibling unless he's the one doing so. Anyone who tries to so much as do anything to you will be poisoned immediately, turning into a spider and becoming yet another little minion of his. No one messes with his family, unless it's him, especially not some little humans from the Demon Slayer Corps.

Brother can have his much nicer moments, particularly after some of the meaner things he does to you, he'll send some of his little minions with gifts for you. Sometimes it's a flower he found, or something that one of the demon slayers or humans had on them that he thought you'd like. He'll never admit it but he does like to see you smile, at least from time to time.

Spider Sister

Sister became part of the family solely to save herself from the Demon Slayer Crops, otherwise she wouldn't have been part of such a thing. She felt the need to pay her debt by filling her role as a sister and so that's what she did.

She felt rather threatened when Rui had brought you home, she didn't want you to replace her, even if the family wasn't good to beging with. She was necessarily mean to you but she would try to get something on you to get you in trouble with any of the other family members, maybe then she'd be a good sister/daughter if you were out of the picture. But no one ever budged when it came to you, hell, you didn't even budge whenever she asked you about running away or something of the sort. It was hopeless in the end.

It wasn't until you had come to her baring a gift, that she really started to look at you in a new light. You were really trying to fill your role but along the way you came to see these other beings, these people, as family. She was weary at first, not trusting you, but that changed soon enough.

She'd seen what happened to those who didn't fill their roles or were just disappointing in general and she didn't want any of that for you. She wanted you to thrive, she wanted to thrive with you. She knew that the others' loved you dearly but she still felt that she had to watch out for you, which was odd since she really only watched out for herself.

If you weren't spending most of your time with Rui then sister would have you to herself, at least until Mother or Father came to get you. Brother only coming when he wanted to see you squeal or shriek from whatever mean thing he had planned for you.

Sister would really start to take her role seriously once you're part of the family. She wants to be the best older sister, not only for Rui, but also for you. She wants to be something, someone, that you're proud of, that you're proud to call your sister. She wants to make you prouder than anything or anyone else.

You and Sister will often chase each other around the mountain, maybe even getting the rest of the family involved too, playing a fun game of tag. She would also accompany you and Father on your usual piggyback rides around the mountain too, each of you on either of his shoulders or holding onto each other while on his back.

Sister will eventually love you along with the rest of the family, falling into their shared obsession with their new family member. She'll be just as willing to do anything for you, like they all are willing to do.

The family would really come to feel like a true, genuine family once you've been brought in, filling your role as the strings that keep them all tied together as they should be, as a real family should be. Not letting them fall apart, not again.

Bless whatever poor soul may try to come between this family and their new addition, they'll surely be destroyed without so much as a blink.

Help Me Keep My Service Dog, organized by Makana Boger

Hi, my name is Makana, and this is my service dog, Buddy. He has assisted me with my medical… Makana Boger needs your support for Help Me K

I know this is a little bit out of the ordinary for me, but this is serious. An online friend of mine, Makana, needs help paying for a lawyer to keep her service dog. She has severe mental health complications that would make it extremely difficult for her to function without Buddy, who she's had for over 5 years now. She's currently preparing for a nasty court case between her and her mother over the custody of Buddy. (See site for more details) Anything you give goes towards her lawyer. If you can donate any margin of money, whether that be 20 dollars or just mere cents, it would be greatly appreciated. If you can't donate, it's fine, that's okay, but PLEASE reblog for reach, or make your own post if you must. I don't care what you do, as long as it's something.

matching halloween costumes- obey me! hcs

Warning: Cursing

Characters: Brothers/Sides x GN!MC (Luke's is platonic of course!)

Words: 1544

✨My Masterlist✨

Lucifer

He literally doesn’t have time for this. He’s busy MC, please stop bugging him about matching costumes. He’s not dressing up for Halloween and that’s final!

Is absolutely appalled when you roll up dressed exactly like him, black wig and all. Everyone finds it hilarious that there’s a tiny, human Lucifer running around.

“Exactly what is it you’re supposed to be? Ah, the Avatar of Pride, who doesn’t have time for Halloween… Carry on.” (Proceeds to follow you around all evening, even though he was sooooo busy. He’s proud alright? And you’re so cute?)

Mammon

Fuckin’ loves this time of year. He will absolutely wear matching costumes with you! (He’ll try to claim he’s only doing it out of necessity. That, if you get lost, he can point to himself and say ‘where’s my other half?’ *cue blushing mess*)

What do you wanna be? Bonnie and Clyde? Bank robbers? Pirates? No?

Oh… Wait, you wanna be a vampire and his victim? Uh, sign him up, motherfucker’s got his teeth on your neck before you finish the sentence. (He’s only adding detail to the costume, chill out human.)

Might “borrow” Lucifer’s cape to complete the look.

“Hey MC! Do you think we could get into the Demon Lord’s Castle dressed like this? This cape has pockets…” (You have to convince him that, no, you’re not disguised that well. He’s wearing his older brother’s coat.)

Leviathan

Eh, he can wear cosplay at cons anytime of the year. What’s the big deal about Halloween? Where you have to go outside and talk to people? Puh-lease MC.

Oh… you want to…. Wear… You want to match with him?!

Bitch grabbed his sewing machine at the speed of light!

You wanna be Henry and the Lord of Shadows, right? Or, maybe some anime couple! That would be cool. N-not that it has to be a couple! But… you know… Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask… that would be cool right?

“MC, I, uh, kinda need to measure you so I can make your costume. I know it’s weird but— Y-you don’t mind?” (Proceeds to drop the measuring tape four times because he accidentally touched your bare skin. Dork.)

Satan

Yeah, okay, he can do that. He’s always wanted someone to match costumes with, but… none of his brothers ever dress up as anything interesting.

Perhaps you could be characters from a romance novel? Or a detective and his sidekick? Oh… you have something in mind already?

A cat-themed superhero. And his love interest? Do go on, MC. He’d love to hear more.

“Okay, so… what do I say when it’s time? My catchphrase? Right. Cataclysm!” (He wishes that would work on Lucifer.)

Asmodeus

He’s definitely gonna match with you! He starts planning before you can finish asking. What the fuck is the point of Halloween if you can’t be cute with your S.O.?

You could be fairies! Or cheerleaders! Or if you want to win the cutest costume contest, you could dress up as him and he as you. ;)

You like the faerie idea? Faeries it is!

He insists on doing your makeup. And picking out jewelry to match your costumes. And takes 2,000 pics for Devilgram. And-

“MC~! I think my fake wings are slipping off. Wanna give me a hand with them? Thank you dear~ Oh, it seems like yours are coming off as well. Can’t have that.” (*proceeds to wrap his arms around you to 'fix' your wings, which were perfect to begin with*)

Beelzebub

You wanna match? That’s fine. He doesn’t care. Give the boy some candy and he’ll do whatever you want. You wanna be something food related? Might not be the best idea. He might nibble your costume… just a bit. Hey, authentic bite marks!

But, yeah, okay, you can be a burger and fries. And Beel will definitely rope Belphie into being a drink. And the three of you are a combo meal. :)

“MC, do you think we could stop at Hell’s Kitchen on the way to the party? You look so tasty, it’s making me hungry.” (You get some food and keep a bag of candy with you all night, because being dressed as the Avatar of Gluttony's favorite food... isn't the best idea...)

Belphegor

Bitch please. Putting on a costume takes effort and this sleepy asshole ain’t doing it.

Unless… he changes form and you wear a cow onesie. That’s as much as you’re getting out of him.

“Beel… what are you doing with that drink costume?” (*scared cow noises*)

All Brothers

As always, any time your attention is up for grabs, the brothers are fighting over who gets to match with you. And… Well, what are you to do but start frantically googling group costume ideas?

You find that there aren’t many good choices for eight people. So you tell them all to vote between superheroes and Carebears. And… okay, maybe you rigged the voting. :)

And now they’re arguing over who gets to be who. Good luck assigning bears to brothers, MC.

“Okay, okay. Guys stop! I’m picking! Lucifer: Grumpy Bear, Mammon: Good Luck Bear, Levi: Wish Bear, Satan: Funshine Bear, Asmo: Love-a-lot Bear, Beel: Tenderheart Bear, Belphie: Bedtime Bear. And I’ll be Cheer Bear!” (*grumbling from Lucifer*)

Diavolo

It’s his birthday. And he’s always incredibly busy, but once you mention matching outfits, he’s more than happy to sneak away for a bit!

You can’t figure out what to dress up as, because it would be sort of… inappropriate for the prince of the devildom to wear something childish.

So, you just find the fanciest clothes possible and go as a fellow royal. He still thinks it’s wonderful, even if he’s just wearing his regular clothes.

“MC, you look…” (He loses himself for a moment because holy shit. You look ethereal.)

Barbatos

Sadly, he has no time for that. His job never stops. He’s serving at Diavolo’s birthday bash/ Halloween party.

You take him by surprise though when you show up dressed as a maid to match him. He’s utterly taken aback. Especially when you wordlessly pick up a tray to help.

“MC, you look… Well, I’d hire you anytime.” (*invites you to the kitchen to taste test something really quick*)

Simeon

Being an angel, he’s never really done much for Halloween. However, he’d love to match with you, as long as it’s nothing provocative.

When you suggest he dress as a demon and you an angel, he laughs. It’s a cute idea. Luke is, of course, horrified, but he goes through with it, going so far as wearing a headband with horns and a pair of fake wings.

“Come now, Luke. Don’t you think we look good?” (Luke: *searches for holy water*)

You don a plastic halo and wings made from cardboard and craft feathers, but he’s still amazed.

“MC, you could easily pass as an angel. You look divine.” (The two of you get some strange looks, but you’re both adorable.)

Luke

Everyone knows how anti-demon Luke is. But he’s excited to match with you!

The most you can convince him to do is ghosts. Traditional sheets-with-holes-for-eyes ghosts. Being a ghost turns out to be quite fun. Especially when you text Mammon and ask to let Luke scare him.

“Did you see that?! The Avatar of Greed nearly started crying; he was so scared of us!” (He’s positively giddy all night and you have to stop him from eating too many sweets.)

Solomon

He’s amused that you’d want to match with him. And before he can suggest anything, you declare that you’re going to be a witch and he will be your familiar. Deal with it, magic boy.

You think he won’t do it, but he shows up with cat ears and a tail, the product a spell. And a drawn-on cat nose.

You laugh so hard your pointed hat falls off and he retrieves it for you with a ‘meow.’

“MC, I’m honestly quite worried this spell won’t wear off by morning. I think I may have done something wrong.” (He stays by your side all night, meowing anytime someone gets too close.)

All Sides

You decide that, since your housemates are currently killing each other over who gets to match with you, you’ll do a group costume with the boys from Purgatory Hall and the Royals to teach them a lesson.

They all agree to let you pick something. And though they’ve never heard of the characters, you pick the cast of Scooby Doo.

Dia: Fred, Barb: Daphne, Solomon: Velma, Simeon: Shaggy, Luke: Scooby. A dog, much to his chagrin. You’ll be a Hex Girl or your favorite villain from the show.

“Well, let’s… wait. How does it go? Let’s split up gang! I have work to do.”

Deep sigh, “creepers. I… MC, this is ridiculous.”

“Jinkies! I sure hope that no one takes a photo of me in a skirt. Asmodeus, that means you.”

“Zoinks. I don’t think I look great in green, MC.”

“I’m not saying it, MC! I don’t care if it’s his catchphrase! I’m not a dog and this isn’t fair and—“

(No one knows who you are, but you still have a great time. And after the party, you promise Luke that you’ll never make him a dog again.)

A Gift Worth Keeping

This is the second part of my “when he knew he loved you” series.

Lucifer | Mammon | Levi | Satan | Asmo | Beel | Belphie

Warnings: Cursing

Pairing: Mammon x GN!MC

Words: 983

Sept. 10th 5PM

It’s been almost a month since you arrived. A month of babysitting a human, Mammon rolls his eyes. If only he could find the human. Usually you follow him around, clinging to his side. Well, in reality, he follows you around, but today he lost track of you after RAD.

He’s actually not sure what Lucifer would do to him if he let you get hurt. He doesn’t want to know.

He’s been looking for you for ten minutes. So far he’s checked your room, the kitchen, dining room, and living room. And you’re nowhere to be found. He’s starting to worry. (About Lucifer, not your well-being.)

Finally, as he approaches the library, he hears your voice.

“So… do you think he’ll like it?” you ask, showing off something to his brothers.

“Pfft, MC, he won’t even look at it before trying to sell it,” says Levi, not bothering to look up from his game.

“What?” Mammon’s heart clenches at the hurt in your voice.

“Yeah, if he can squeeze a Grimm out of it, he will. I mean, the thought is nice, but…”

“But I made it myself,” you start.

“Oh, even better. ‘Handmade by a human!’ It’s doubled in price now,” Satan laughs, looking up from his book. Mammon’s face drops.

“Really?” you ask, enthusiasm gone.

“MC, darling, you put a lot of time into it. Do you really want to give it to someone who won’t appreciate it?” Asmo asks. With that, Mammon huffs.

“He… he’ll appreciate it!” you say, holding whatever it is close to your chest.

“Look… to tell the truth, he’d probably try to sell you if Lucifer wouldn’t kill him. He’ll flip that faster than Beel eats a cheeseburger.” Satan turns the page.

“He’s a scumbag,” says Levi, “he takes my things all the time to make an easy buck. And he’s my brother. Why do you think he’d appreciate something from you, a human he barely knows?”

“No, he’s not. He’s a good person,” you say, anger dripping from your tongue. Mammon’s eyes widen. “And he’s my friend! You guys are wrong.”

“Sweetie…” Asmo begins.

“I mean, yeah, he likes money. But that’s his… thing. You know, I wouldn’t expect Beel to stop eating. Or… Asmo to stop staring into that mirror,” you say.

The fifth-born looks away from the mirror for a moment, “I’m fixing my makeup.”

You ignore him. “None of you can help your sin. Why are you guys always being mean to Mammon for his? It’s not fair. Fuck, now I sound like Mr. Envy,” you chuckle and Satan smirks behind his book. “Anyway, I’m gonna go give this to him now. But, you guys really suck a lot, you know?”

“Let us know how much he gets for it,” says Mr. Envy himself as you stand. You stick your tongue out at him, which Asmo laughs at.

Mammon’s heart races and he turns to quickly climb the stairs, two at a time, to his room, where you’re headed, with a gift, that you apparently handmade, for him. He shuts the door behind him and leans against it.

They think I’m good. He smiles softly to himself, then it drops when he realizes you just stood up to his brothers, who could’ve actually killed you.

He’s got to have a talk with you about that.

A knock at his door startles him. “Uh… Mammon, are you in there?”

He blinks and wipes his hand through his hair, waiting a second before he opens the door.

“Hey human,” he says, nonchalantly. As if he hadn’t been looking for you and he’d heard none of your conversation and wasn’t internally combusting from your words.

“Can I come in?” you ask. He can tell you’re hiding something behind your back.

“Yeah, I guess.” He steps back from the door to let you inside, then closes it behind you, and takes a seat on his couch. You follow him over and stand in front of him.

“So… I kind of made you something.”

“Oh?” Really? He had no idea. Not at all.

“Yeah. So… here,” you say, thrusting a large gift bag into his lap. He raises a brow.

“Open it.”

He smiles and reaches into the bag to pull out a round yellow cushion. “Hey, this looks like Grimm!” he points out when he sees the skull on the front.

He notices how your eyes light up. “Yeah! Yes! I tried. I’ve not really been crocheting long, so it’s not perfect-”

“Yeah it is.” He turns the pillow in his hands. On the back is a small tag which reads ‘MADE WITH LOVE, BY MC.’

“It’s really good,” he says, eyes wet. He refuses to cry in front of a human, no matter how nice they are to him.

“You like it?” you ask.

“Yeah, ‘course I do. It’s money,” he grins and puts the pillow under his head, leaning back on it with a sigh. “It’s great, MC, thanks.”

You drop onto the couch beside him, before throwing your arms around his shoulders, “happy birthday Mammon! I’m so glad you like it.”

He freezes, breath caught in his throat, then puts one hand on your back. “Uh, yeah.”

You pull away, and pretend not to notice the blush blooming on his cheeks. “I’m gonna go downstairs to help with dinner. See you in a bit!”

“Yeah,” he mumbles, watching you exit his room. He pulls the cushion back from behind his head to examine the tag once again. ‘MADE WITH LOVE, BY MC.’

“With love,” he whispers, tracing the words. Is that how you feel about him? How he feels about you? And he groans, pressing his face against it.

(Just wait till he finds the card inside the bag and reads the sweet message you wrote. He won’t be able to look you in the eyes for a week.)
