Belphie is the last person I’d want to stay with. I don’t hate him lol, I’m just more afraid of him. Idk why but his presence gives me chills and I always feel like he’s planning something dangerous 😭
Obey me characters reacting to MC wearing an inflatable dinosaur costume:
(The brothers + dateables + undateables)
Lucifer:
-At first he assumed you were one of his brothers when you entered his room.
-Immediately feels a headache forming.
-“Do you require anything?” “Rawr.” “Get out.”
Mammon:
-"D'YAHAHAHAHAH WHAT THE HELL ARE YA' WEARING?"
-he's also going to buy and wear one so that you both can perform stunts in public and earn money #thegrindneverstops
Levi:
-He ugly snorted when you burst into his room wearing that and now he feels so bad
-Will ask to recreate trends with you but he cannot stop laughing so all the videos come out shaky and full of him giggling in the background.
-His camera roll is now filled with photos of you in the dino costume doing JoJo poses
Satan:
-You interrupted his afternoon reading to show him…this???
-Actually it’s okay because it’s hilarious.
-Immediately begins brainstorming on how you could use this opportunity to annoy the fuck out of Lucifer hmm…
-But you’re also scaring the strays that he smuggled into his room so he’s going to have to ask you to leave </3
Asmo:
-“girl that is NOT a look”
-actually it is asmo, you just need to lock in
-kind of concerned about the material of the costume, makes sure it’s made with human-skin-safe materials
Beel:
-????
-After the initial confusion he starts giggling uncontrollably. It’s a bit jarring to see the ever-stoic Avatar of Gluttony losing it over a dino costume.
-You should make him wear it after you’re done. He’d make a very convincing dino.
Belphie:
-He woke up from his slumber only to be met this this sight.
-Genuinely thought he was having a fever dream and tried to bite you
-“How do we annoy Lucifer with this?” Pt.2
Solomon:
-He's also wearing one with you
-enchants both of your costumes to make them spit fire or something
-and now there's two humans dressed up as dinosaurs running around and wreaking havoc in the devildom streets
-Barbatos has to drag both of your asses back home
Barbatos:
-speaking of barbatos
-feels a headache forming 2.0
-Your antics are slowly beginning to resemble Solomon’s and he’s not a fan
-He is mildly amused tho
-"Rawr." "A very convincing performance, MC."
Diavolo:
-Is this a human custom he's unaware off? Is this a way of bonding??
-No? Well it should be! It's funny and it made him laugh. Isn't laughter the best way to bond with other fellow beings?
-He wants a dino costume too. And you bet he'd play a very good dino, given his towering frame and boisterous laugh. But alas, the prince of Hell has an image to maintain.
-Psych! He makes Barbatos buy one for him anyways
Luke:
-Genuinely thought it was a monster coming to attack him when you started running towards him.
-Screams and dives to hide behind the nearest person before realising it's you.
-He's mad at you for scaring him like that. You feel a strong urge to squish his pouty little face.
Simeon:
-Probably the person Luke hid behind.
-He, too, thought you were some weird devildom creature
-He’s just happy to see you be comfortable enough around them to be so wonderfully ridiculous
-He’s also trailing behind you and Solomon to make sure you both don’t get into too much trouble. Responsible mom™
Thirteen:
-"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
-MC where did you get this??? She wants one too.
-Draws angry little eyebrows on the dino face.
-Now there's a giggling dino with tiny inflatable arms being chased down the halls by a reaper trying to vandalize it.
Mephisto:
-GOOD GRIEF, MC. Have you forgotten you’re a representative of the exchange program chosen by Lord Diavolo himself??? Such tomfoolery will only drag his Lord’s reputation down.
-(Little does he know his Lord is currently busy trying to figure out how to get his arms into a similar costume.)
-Stay 5 kilometres away from him he doesn't want to associate himself with you while you're dressed like THAT.
-Wear a Barney costume and say you’re matching and watch him lose his shit.
Raphael:
-What are you doing??? Are all humans like this???
-Is there a specific reason you're wearing this??? Does it help you in any way???
-So many questions but none shall be answered.
America has a weird relationship with cults where they’re terrified of small cults (or organizations they think are cults) but completely normalized massive cults that hurt many more people (eg: LDS Church, Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Amish, Scientology, most Megachurches)
To anybody asking if the Amish are a cult, the answer is yes, very much so.
They’re a high control group that isolate you from society. The cult decides how you dress, how you behave, who you marry and how. They control what you know, blocking all information from the outside world. They control how you feel and what you’re allowed to think with threats of both social and supernatural harm. They’re a cult.
The best method to determine if a group is a cult, in my opinion, is Steven Hassan’s (cult expert and former cult member himself) BITE model.
BITE stands for Behavior Control, Information Control, Thought Control, and Emotional Control.
The more points a group “scores” on the model, the more of a cult it is.
I think this model is the best one for several reasons:
It’s more nuanced than “cult” or “not cult” and doesn’t make false equivalences between groups
It’s versatile, applying to groups big and small, and cults of all kinds, religious, political, financial, etc.
It focuses on what’s important, which is what the cult does to its members, and those members’ experiences, and not on irrelevant details like how uncommon their doctrines are or whether they have a charismatic leader
#you might notice that there are a lot of similarities between cult techniques and those of abusive partners#and that is an important thing to be aware of
high control groups can also form in friend groups and online! any social group can theoretically be a high control enviroment that’s abusive. any group can be a cult if someone uses that group to control and abuse others.
Anyway, decor is from the game. Thanks to @lbp-sticker-archive The hand is my hand. The piece is referencing an old PSP advertisement. Sackboy is hand drawn.
I've been feeling extra nostalgic recently of my childhood faves. It's making me wish I had my old consoles. I have the digital only PS5 and I stg there's a total of 2 games on there that I play. Am I too nostalgic? Have I just grown up too much? Have gaming companies sucked the fun out of gaming? Regardless, nothing will stop me from supporting other human artists, creatives, indie developers, project lovers. I will never stop believing in the creativity, wonder, and purpose of community games like LBP taught me.
people act like having breakfast for dinner is weird and special when in fact it's the most widespread and normalised meal identity transgression out there. talk to me when you're having dinner for breakfast, snack for dinner, lunch for brunch,
This is easily one of the CRAZIEST videos I've ever gotten. I was rafting down a river when a Yellow Jacket came, landed on my bright pink waterproof phone pouch, and started drinking from the water droplets that had gathered there.
The most amazing part is how the water droplet magnifies the Hornet's mouth parts, so you get to see them up-close!!!! It was FASCINATING to witness!
Here's some of my favorite still shots from that video:
