Tonight (March 17 2021) in Atlanta, at least eight workers are dead after a series of targeted shootings in massage spas. The shooting is the latest in escalating Anti-Asian hate crimes, which have increased nearly 150% over the past year alone.
Below are a few links to organizations to consider supporting, all of whom are fighting for the rights of AAPI, as always feel free to add on any (credible) links or updates:

Nyx is a primordial goddess and the Greek personification of Night - the mother of Hypnos, Thanatos, Nemesis, and many more. She's a mysterious figure in their mythos as there's little surviving info about her cult. What is known, however, is that she was portrayed as beautiful, powerful, and feared by Zeus himself.

LuciferĀ
What happens when you take a being born from the darkness and place them in a realm of eternal night�
The answer came when the MC first stepped out of the portal. Everyone in the room was wholly expecting a normal-looking, confused human they could get up to speed, howeverā¦
The MC's skin suddenly darkened until it was as black as a shadow, their clothes levitated around them as if they were defying gravity, and glimmering speckles dotted their skin like twinkling stars.
Even their eyes turned a pure, glowing white without irises or pupils⦠Like two crowning stars locked into a body made from the shimmering night sky...
They weren't human. At the time, Lucifer wasn't even sure he could say what they were... Breathtaking, certainly, but there was something else about them that he couldn't place⦠something⦠foreboding...
Diavolo must have had the same unease because Barbatos was put in charge of monitoring them. The butler would send reports to them both and the results would range from benign to nerve-racking...
They kept their distance from his brothers and most people, but their power seemed immense... Barbs would report seeing them making small items float or summoning a meteor shower from their fingertips!
Lucifer ended up actually tasting their powers only once. When they stepped in to protect Beel and Luke and he went to attack themā¦
The whole House began to shake and the candles of the tomb started going out one by one as the air grew intolerably heavy... He could have sworn he saw a vortex of⦠something... swirling at their feet...
He backed off immediately and Beel and Luke got off with a warning, mostly because he was trying not to look utterly petrified...
He's never met a more beautiful and dangerous creature in his life⦠Pact mark or no, this is probably the only person the firstborn will admit he never wants to have to fight because he'd lose, big time.
Mammon
He was expecting to find a human when he walked into the Student Council room, not an alien!!
Mammon was seriously scared of the MC when they first met because he legitimately believed they were an extraterrestrial sent to probe him!!... Or whatever else those scary movies say aliens do, lay eggs in his stomach?
He straight up avoided them like the plague until the Goldie incident more or less bound them together. But even then there was a distance between them he just couldn't placeā¦
Naturally, it bothers a demon a bit if their master doesn't seem to like them, so he eventually cornered them one day to force them to tell him why they'd been running off!
As it turned out, the MC actually knew as little about their new form everybody else! They had been perfectly normal in the human world, but for some reason the Devildom supercharged them! They could tell that they were powerful, but had no idea how to control themselves yet and it scared them...
So Mammon became their first unofficial "coach." Not that he knew how to train them or anything, but he was the first person supportive enough to even try to help them learn their new powers.
It led to some⦠interesting misadventures. Like when the MC unexpectedly burst every water pipe in the House or when they got a little too frustrated and ripped the kitchen apart with an accidental twister, but hey, Mammon was always there for them at least.
Of course, because he's who he is, he's not above asking the MC to help him with his schemes for "training purposesā¦" Infiltration is more fun if you're weightless, after all!
Speaking of weightless⦠His favorite way to float is when the MC gets excited and hugs him. They can't help but levitate them both off the ground when they're that happy and it makes the whole hug that much sweeter.
LeviathanĀ
It's⦠it's like he's in his very own Magical Girl anime!!! Uh, "I'm a Demon and this is My New Life with a Magic Starchild!!"-or something like that. š¤·āāļø
He didn't even think their transformation was real when he first saw it! He really thought it was an elaborate body art cosplay but then their "freckles" rearranged themselves when he frightened them, so it had to be real!!
He'll declare that they're probably (literally) the coolest thing on the planet. They have the looks of an epic fantasy character plus insane powers to boot!Ā
ā¦though uh⦠they may need a training arc or two to learn how to control them⦠š
Since their powers are apparently tied to their emotions, Levi's seen them do a whole bunch of stuff that's not entirely on purpose... Like, they can make things float when they're happy and push everything down when they're sad.Ā
So once he showed them one of those "tragic ending" animes for fun, but they cried so hard that they increased gravity and accidentally sent his bathtub crashing into the basementā¦
The worst of it is when they're mad, though. He made the mistake of making them play a rage game once and they ended up shattering all the glass in his room! His aquarium wall and Henry's fishtank included!!
They were able to make a zero G sphere of water in order to save Henry's life, but the cleanup was brutal⦠They were super sorry, but Levi took most of the blame himself anyway.
Honestly, he'd have been more mad but their body is clearly not something they can control just yet. Plus, it's so cool that he can put up with a little destruction anyway, you know?
Satan
Well, isn't that an interesting phenomenon?
Meeting a demigod is exciting enough, but one who reacted to the Devildom like that? It was pretty much unheard of!
Though he'd hate to admit it, Satan stalked the MC just as closely as Barbatos for a little while... But only because he was a little unsure of how to approach themā¦
They kept to themselves and their powers seemed "a little" unpredictable (see Levi's orphaned bathtub). Thankfully, Mammon ended up recommending the MC to him since Satan's one of the smartest guys around.
Satan made a better coach than Mammon, anyway. He was far more knowledgeable and actually able to hypothesize the strength their powers, which came in handy because uh⦠wellā¦
Look. The whole realm 'ooohs' and 'ahhhs' over their appearance but they're all fools - no morons - for not noticing what potential the MC actually has. Satan was positive that the MC is the most powerful being in the Devildom, without question.
They had a complete control over gravity, atmospheric pressure, and even astronomical bodies⦠If they wanted to, they could literally pluck a planet out of orbit and send it careening into who knows what!
Want more terrifying? They could create near-matterless vacuums at the palms of their hands with the potential to suffocate, crush, or rip apart basically anything they wanted with implosive forceā¦.
Does he even need to spell out why that's utterly horrifying??
At least the MC seemed to be a genuinely nice person who wanted to control their powers better⦠Their emotions often got in the way but they tried their best.
He likes the MC a lot, but he'd be lying if he said that they didnāt also terrify him⦠They may have been pretty normal in the human world, but give them endless night and they may as well be a god...
AsmodeusĀ
Oh⦠My⦠Father!!! They're GORGEOUS!!!!
From the moment their transformation completed, Asmo had never seen anything like them! He said that they were like a living droplet of the night sky!
They were magnificent!! They were radiant!!! He was posting pictures of them before they had even said their first sentence!!
So Asmo was pretty much patient zero for any and all rumors and hype about the MC after that... Apparently someone like them only visits the Devildom every one, maybe two, centuries so everybody was bound to get talking.
Thankfully, the MC's habit of ducking out of the House kept them from becoming a full on sideshow. Unfortunately, however, Asmodeus was relentless!
He'd beg them to try modeling or make videos with him because of their unique look! He'd lay on the praises, but it was a little... much. It wasn't until Mammon finally stepped that he backed off a bit.
Asmo sometimes forgets that not everyone puts as much emphasis on looks as he does... Though he meant well, he hadn't realized that the MC maybe wouldn't appreciate him making such a big deal out of their appearance change. Pretty as it was, it was still involuntary to them...
Of course, after they told him this he cooled off and stopped putting them out there so publicly but even still he could hardly keep his eyes off of them... unless he was looking in a mirror, of course. š
A fun fact about the MC: when they blush, their skin makes a pink nebula. And thanks to his antics, Asmo has seen their lively pink cheeks many, many times⦠š¤
BeelzebubĀ
Belphie would like them, wouldn't he...?
Beel's first reaction upon seeing the MC was genuine sadness, as seeing the stars with his twin brother still gone often brought himā¦Ā
The sadness didn't last too long at least because Beel tried his best to see the MC more like a person than a work of art or an oddity. Sure, they looked different - like really different - but they still laughed, cried, and ate like everybody else so they couldn't be that different.
Though then again, most people don't end up floating in midair when they laugh⦠Eh, oh well. It's not like those little details bother him. š¤·āāļø
He always remained certain that Belphie would like the MC so he told them a lot about him. Since his twin loved stargazing, it'd only be natural that he'd like someone who looked like the stars, right?
Aside from the occasional tangent about his brother, Beel would also help the MC with their training by letting them help him with his training!
Controlling gravity can be pretty nifty for strength/resistance exercises, so there would be days where Beel would just pull a Dragon Ball and walk around at 1.5 or 2 times Earth's gravity thanks to having the MC on his back!
Sure, lifting a glass of milk becane so difficult that he literally broke a sweat from trying, but he felt like he can juggle motorcycles afterwards so who's complaining? Not him!
BelphegorĀ
ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.
Was it some kind of joke?
The MC was not human. There was no way in heaven or hell that whatever he lured to the attic was supposed to be a human!!
Really, everything about the MC and their situation seemed directly designed to throw a monkey wrench into his plans...
One: They weren't human so how was he supposed to ruin Diavolo's dream? Two: They were clearly some kind of magical being so they could likely defend themselvesā¦
But third ans most embarrassing of all... he honestly, genuinely, has never seen a more amazing person in his life. Blame it on his soft spot for the stars, but the moment the MC step up to his prison bars, he was smitten...
And. He. HATED IT!
Look, as much as he loved the night sky, he wasn't about to let some random non-human derail his anger! He was stronger than that!
He managed to hold onto his bitterness just long enough to make a halfhearted attempt on their life after they got the door open, but uhā¦
His brothers found Belphie when he fell through a newly-made hole in the ceiling... Said hole was made when his body slammed to the ground hard enough to crash through the attic floor... š£
If the damage they caused wasn't enough to change his mind (which it was), then their distress when they thought they might have hurt him certainly did. Even their tears looked like stardust...
After far too long, Belphie got over his denial and began to properly love MC. If he liked stargazing before, he adored it now because he never even has to get out of bed! He can just roll over and follow the "stars" on the MC's body!
Unfortunately, that same love means it also takes a lot to ditch him if they get sick of being his personal night's sky⦠The brothers have found him floated up and sleeping on the ceiling on numerous occasions so the mortal can get some fresh air (clever MC)...

The hypersexualization of Asian women plays a HUGE part in the violence we face. Iāve been cornered on the street as men say āme love you long time.ā Iāve been offered money for a āhappy ending massage.ā Iāve been hit on because Iām Asian and told itās a ācompliment.ā
Image 2:
Asian women are so often seen and treated as objects, as trophies and this very real problem is often seen as a punchline i.e. jokes about mail order brides, the portrayal of Asian women in Hollywood.
(Could turn out NSFW, but mostly fluff) Could you make a fic about Lucifer waking up to his (girlfriend) mc looking in the mirror criticising her body?
I have so many lucifer requests left its not even funny. Everyone here us a luciwhore. Anyway i made this so the reader is viewing herself as overweight*** just as a fair warning. If you wanted something different, please specify that next time.
Warning: self hatred, self viewing issues, self worth issues, body issues, slight NSFW toward the end
Just The Way You Are (LUCIFER X F!READER)
Itās hard. Itās hard looking at someone whoās so beautiful and intelligent and confident. As the Avatar of Pride, of course he would have some confidence in him, but itās literally in every step and youāre just⦠so confused by it. Like, how does he manage? Is it really just in his nature? Does he ever not think highly of himself? At first, it bothered you because it also meant he was really cocky and full of himself, but a few late nights spent in his office cleared that up pretty quickly. Lucifer was so much more than what people thought he was. He was complex, full of emotion, and partial misery. You admired him for both the demon and the man he is, and you found comfort in his strange sense of humor and weird way of handling his life. He very much does give up protector vibes and although your biggest threat should be with the demons around you, you know, something he can actually protect you from, it actually comes from within yourself.Ā
Lucifer loved you, maybe even more than he should, and you knew that. You did too. He made it very obvious that he wants to be with you, even if he doesnāt always publicly display affection or spent all of his time with you. He makes time for you as much as he can and he spoils you; he adores you. At night, when you two lie in bed together, he makes it a point to actually talk about his day and ask about yours, as a sign that he cares. Heās both opening up to you and trying to know more about you, which makes you happy. None of whatever he tells you will ever leave your mouth and his trust is of highest regard to you. His kisses were always hungry, his touch gentle until provoked to be otherwise, and yet, no matter how much love and consideration he poured into his actions and carefully chosen words, you couldnāt bring yourself to believe them. You didnāt see yourself as he saw you, and quite frankly, it made you think he was lying.Ā
Lucifer was beautiful, full of confidence and self love, and yet⦠why couldnāt you be? Why didnāt his pride rub off on you? Make you think more highly of yourself? The question of why had you crying deep into the night as you curled into yourself. Lucky for you, even if Lucifer wrapped his arms around you, he preferred sleeping without touching anyone and every night, when he thinks you have fallen asleep, he will pull back and roll over, so he never noticed when you did cry at the oddest hours. You couldnāt help it, either. You felt lonely and ugly and not worthy of someone like him, and the more you thought about it, the more it was hard to keep quiet. A hand came up to cover your mouth as you tried to ignore the voices in your head, āstop⦠Iām beautiful⦠and wantedā¦ā why couldnāt you believe that?Ā
Quietly, you got up, walking to the mirror that happened to be so conveniently placed beside his closet. You looked behind you to make sure he hadn't awakened before looking at some of the clothes beside you. Lucifer was a large man, in height not necessarily width, and his dress shirts did show that, but it made you sad that they would never fall loosely down to your knees. It made you sad that you knew the sleeves would be almost too tight and that the buttons on it would definitely be pressed against your skin, āso fatā¦.ā New tears had formed in your eyes at the thought. Why couldnāt you be cuter? Prettier? Skinnier? Itās not even that you hadnāt tried it, quite the opposite actually. You had tried several diets and a multitude of exercise programs, and yet, you could never bring yourself to stick to any of them, or they made you feel even worse because the progress wasnāt there fast enough. People would make fun of you, too. Youāre already here, youāre already trying! What more do they want? It was just all very⦠discouraging.Ā
You looked at yourself in the mirror, taking in your tear stained cheeks first. Something about the Devildom sky that never seemed to falter was how bright it was at night and although Luciferās curtains were drawn, you could still see yourself clearly. You took in a shaky breath, letting your eyes wander down your neck⦠to your chest⦠your stomach⦠your thighsā¦. Everything. The further down you went, the more disgusted you became with yourself. You hated yourself. The size of your breasts and how they werenāt pretty and perky; the size of your stomach and how it seemed to stretch out, leaving some marks in certain spotsā¦. You hated your hips and how wide, how big they seemed to be, and of course, you hated your thighs. Massive, ugly thighs. You cried harder. āUgly⦠worthlessā¦ā You pulled at your stomach before trying to suck it in. Of course, that didnāt work. āWhy would he be with meā¦?ā Why would he? You pushed your breasts up, trying to make them more appealing, more presentable, more desirable⦠to no avail āWhyā¦.?āĀ
āBecause I love you.ā You gasped softly, looking up in the mirror to find him standing behind you. He looked⦠tired, confused, but also hurt. āDarling, what are you doing?ā Your lip quivered and you whimpered, trying to hold the tears back but they blurred your vision and you broke down, falling to the ground in front of him while trying to cover your face. āI-Iā¦ā The sight shocked Lucifer. He was shocked anyway at what he heard you say and the way you looked at yourself. Why hadnāt you told him? He drops to his knees with you, pulling you against his chest and refusing to let you go when you start struggling against him, ān-noā¦.! Noā¦. you donāt⦠you donāt like me⦠how could you? Iām worthlessā¦ā ouch. He wonāt ever admit how much that actually hurt him. He pushed your head into his chest, wrapping his other arm tightly around you, āDonāt say such nonsense. I love you, (Y/N). I love all of you.āIt was so hard to believe, so hard to let your brain register it. To you, there was no reason to be loved. There was no reason for him to be nice and soft and gentle and caring⦠you werenāt worth it.Ā
But to him, you were so much more. āHave I not told you that enough?ā āNo itās just⦠why? Why would you choose a whale like me?ā A deep frown grazed his features and heās quick to pull back and cradle your face, forcing you to look up at him. āDonāt ever say that again. (Y/N), you are beautiful. To me, you are beautiful, and itās painful to see that you think so little of yourself. Itās painful to hear that you think so little of me, too. Would I really have chosen you to be my lover if I didnāt love you? Youāre more than just your body, (Y/N), which, I find incredibly sexy anyway⦠Youāre my Darling. Youāre my clumsy little human who cares too much and fights too little. Youāre so innocent, yet so mature, and itās sad to watch the world crumble around you, through you, when all it should do is build up for you. Heyā¦ā He wipes the tears from your cheek gently and for the first time you really look at him. His disheveled hair and tired bed eyes still held so much love and adoration for you and you could feel your lip quiver again, but he shook his head.Ā
āI love your breasts and your stomach, your hips and your thighs⦠I love everything you have to offer me, (Y/N), and clearly, Iām doing a very terrible job at showing you that.ā He chuckled softly and it made you smile, your head leaning into his touch. āThanks, Luciferā¦ā You still donāt believe everything heās saying, but you like how his eyes shine and how honest his words feel. He leans in to kiss you softly, still cradling your face, ābut⦠since Iām doing such a terrible job at itā¦ā which he really doesnāt like, by the way. Like, how could he not notice that you think so lowly of yourself? Heās right there and didnāt see anything! It makes him upset⦠He leans back and pulls you up with him, taking both your hands in his and then leading you over to the bed,
āI will spend the rest of my night showing you just how beautiful you really are.āĀ
Okay Iāve been thinking about this all day but which element would be considered more emotional? Water or Fire? Like, typically water is associated with emotions similar to sadness, despair, loss, or any other emotion correlating to unhappiness or sorrow. Now fire, an opposing emotion, is usually associated with feelings of anger, rage, hatred, or any emotion that is similar to that. At first I thought obviously water is the more emotional element because there is a wider range of emotions than just sadness but then that got me thinking, is it really though? Is water really the more emotional element or does water just express a wider range of emotions more openly and more freely? Almost all of the time there are underlying emotions to someoneās anger, which is the main thing that fuels it. I feel like there are other emotions that fuel someoneās anger or rage, but they arenāt expressed as openly, because people donāt know how to communicate their feelings in any other way that isnāt anger. So that makes me think, maybe fire is the more emotional sign, but itās just not expressed as openly as water. Like both are emotional, but in different ways? Like one is more reserved and guarded and the other is more open and forward? Does this make sense? It just got me thinking š¤
