I love asks! Send me your thoughts!
Saw a couple of us talk about tomodachi life and seduce me stuff…… I wanted to show my little guys..
A took a few creative liberties with these guys (freckles for dame and Matthew, little bits of blue in Matthew’s hairs and some scars for Sam Erik and dame aswell ) aswell as adding my little rose by Diana’s eye like in that fanart I did of her once heheheh
I’m working on the clothes!! I don’t really like making 1 million customs clothings but some stuff I just couldn’t NOT make… yk?
Here are some photos of my designs for my Seduce Me Miis!
I'm sorry I got lazy with Sam, James, Matthew, and Damien. But dang did I go hard on Erik Suzu Naomi and Diana. Especially Diana I love how I did her hair.
Also I'm completely out of school! I only have my graduation left. So I'm gonna try and post more on seduce me before the depression really attacks my core now that I don't have a fixed schedule.
One of the things that really shine out to me and strengthen my love for Sam as a whole is the fact that the brother I feel like he'd have the most disagreements and disdain with, is the brother he's the most protective of.
Damien and Sam, in my eyes, have very potent foils towards each other. Damien is naive and harbors very strong affection towards humans based off flawed ideals and self-hatred of his kind. Sam is realistic, a man who can't help but appreciate his demon roots and views most of humanity as cruel and ignorant.
However, while some older siblings seem to have resentment towards their younger siblings nativity and flawed optimism, this doesn't hinder Sam and his protective love over Damien.
I like that Sam's respect towards people is actually based off how they treat others. His obvious hate for his father, his dislike towards James ideology in Prince vs the Brute "Id rather see them as an equal than shove them on a pedestal" or how people think they are better based off faulty reasoning or their lifestyle/status/class.
So I've gotten two separate comments asking me if I would basically consider creating a Seduce Me story so I'm gunna at least map one out and see if it's feasible for my ADHD brain to focus on. For this first one, I'll use the Edgy AU.
But for that, I'm giving it a new name. I don't have an ultra creative name for this so for now it'll be called "Seduce Me: Crimson"
Last boy! (Not last one. I still gotta do Mika T_T)
Ft. Nova from me!
Erik basically got the seduction notch cranked up to eleven to the point where it borders on harassment. With a vapid persona, a seemingly empty personality and a hatred of children which stems more from his own personal issues than anything to do with kids. He's... a lot. And yet nothing at all. He invades people's boundaries and says everything they want to hear to get to know them before using their personalities to manipulate them. Energy, sex, gifts. It's all payment for loyalty. It's a constant give and take.
At least, that's what he is on the surface.
Part 1: Matthew
Part 2: James
Part 3: Sam
Part 4: Damien
This is Part 5
James calls him an aggressive flirt, Sam calls him a whore, most know him from his ability to target your best qualities to flatter but also target your worst insecurities to earn your trust. The ability to talk his way out of any situation with his default tactic being seduction.
That's Erik, the snake of the Eastern Kingdom. A name he was doomed to have. Being born in the aptly named "Snake pit"—also known as the Second quarters of the Eastern Kingdom—he was raised to be a master manipulator. Kalipo had the best intentions, teaching her son the ways of negotiation so he'll rarely have to stoop to violence. But, you know what they say, "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions". She cared not for his mental state, not for his reservations about lying or cheating or laying in the arms of a person he didn't know. She told him to grow up and get past it.
And so he did. He let his heart grow cold as he got used to the eternal game he played with others' emotions. Eventually, he started to see people as characters in an interactive story, if he learned about them he could learn the right and wrong things to say in order to sway them in a direction. And he learned what metaphorical prices he would have to pay to make them do what he wanted. The world is a give and take; no act of kindness is for free. He even started to see his brothers like this. That's when he realized he was going too far.
But by then, the lessons had sunk into his very core. He couldn't help but approach others with such coldness.
But what if someone did approach him with unconditional kindness? He wouldn't believe it at first. He'd think that you were playing him for a fool. His mask wouldn't slip until the kind actions would pile up so much that it began to worry him. What could you possibly want? You wanted something, he'd tell himself. There's no way anyone would be so baselessly kind otherwise. What's the condition? Where's the request? What is he supposed to do so that you don't turn on him or hold these actions over his head?
That anxiety slowly cracks his mask as he starts to fear and worse... he starts to hope. Hope that you're being honest when you say that you want nothing in return. He starts to seem more real, being curious about shared interests, discussing things outside of his usual flirtatious manner. He's quite the space and mythos nerd when you get to know him. He's also a bit clingy; he enjoys your company, why would he want to be apart? And for all of Kalipo's efforts to scrub away his brute side, he reveals that the shark tooth he wears is a common reward given to and from brutes after a battle so he's got some fire in there.
Beneath layers and layers of vapidity he built to protect himself is a man desperate for the real connections he was denied all his life. Are you willing to give him that?
I think the James vs Sam epsiode should’ve been a James vs Matthew episode…… HEAR MEOWT!!!!!
I enjoy that episode don’t get it twisted BUT. I think it would’ve been extra juicy and painful if it was Matthew and James sorryyyyy but the way Matthew is the only brother jealous of James’ royalty the wayyyy he’s infantilised and how he’s almost in direct contrast to James how he’s seen as so gathered and grown up and mature and how Matthew is soooooooo so insecure and fed up with Their treatment of him, Matthew’s issues of pride omggggggg take me awayyyy. Like i absolutely get why it was sam and James it was yass we all cheered and they do very much contrast eachother, but I just think those extra details would make Matthew vs James a bit more interesting and hold heavier weight..
I think about Matthew and James’ dynamic so much omg….
Yeah. Some of the lines about royalty hit kinda weird coming from Sam. He's more self assured than to care about titles.
It would be super interesting to see a take that leans more heavily into James as the prince and uses Matthew's lack of self confidence in that area as the foil.
I dislike game 1 Diana, we all know this, but... she clocked Damien so hard with that "Human fetish" comment and it is never brought up again.
Listen, I love Damien. He is my fav... but he glorify humans too much.
And I understand why. For the most part, demons treated him horribly. His brothers were kind but that was because they were brothers. There's no indication that they extended this level of kindness to the rest of the servants or slaves. The first person who showed him completely baseless kindness was Harold.
Diana mentioned that Harold painted an idealistic picture of humans and from then on Damien became obsessed with them. And I mean, it sounds accurate. He didn't wish to be rid of his mind reading. He wanted to be human. There's also that line from Demon War that he says: "She's a human, pure and perfect."
Hell, he's willing to go through a never before done procedure after losing his mind reading just to be human. My man is OBSESSED.
And to be fair, Diana didn't help with this obsession. Of all of game 1's cast, she did Damien the dirtiest by making him relive his worst memories right in front of his new girlfriend. All to bait him into giving up his brother under the guise of "protecting" his girlfriend from his own powers. She is a very good example of the asshole demons that Damien hates.
I kinda wish it was talked about more. Cause it's giving internalized self-hatred. I guarantee yall that if this man sat down, kept his mind reading off, got some therapy from an escaped demon or something and actually was able to process the mountains of trauma he faced, he would have come to the conclusion that what he actually wants is to lose the mind reading (or at least be able to control it) and get basic respect and dignity from his peers.
In full contrast to James, Sam was done slower than expected.
Ft. Aron from @thenewuniverseishere
Now Sam... I'm very aware of my bias and how close this man is to catching a physical assault case but I found a work around!
Instead of being more violent like his previous two brothers, he just acts more aggressive to get people to fuck off before it ever gets super violent. Even if it makes him look unhinged, he will yell, bare his teeth, or shove someone before he ever throws a punch. Trust me though, he hasn't defanged himself. He can, will and has thrown hands to defend himself or his brothers.
Part 1: Matthew
Part 2: James
This is Part 3
Sam was born into a violent world. As the third son of the most violent king in almost all of Abyssal history and the only son of the woman literally dubbed the War Queen, he was set to rely on his strength from the start. Dracae desperately wanted to protect her son from that world but it was inevitable. When she lost her physical form, he lost her physical protection. From then on, he has to fend for himself.
But things could have still been different.
Sam was never great at magic; he never chose to read and barely knew any verbal latin. On top of that, the powers he'd have from being an incubus were slow coming, especially in comparison to his older brothers. Despite that, he could have still tapped into those abilities if his back wasn't forced against the wall at a formative age. He was six, protecting his little brothers who were four and two respectively. With escapees looming over them with murderous intent and his lilith powers not serving him, he was forced to search for a different power within him. His brute side. He grew stronger, taller, more terrifying. The escapees were so scared that they ran as soon as he showed he could take down even one of them.
That was the day Sam locked himself to his brute side. And I truly mean locked. Without proper training for his rage magic, his anger leaked often. He couldn't control it well.
This reflects in his behavior in the human world. You can't punch your way out of every issue in the human world, that's how you get arrested, so he developed a revised strategy. Make himself look bigger, stronger and more unhinged so people will leave him alone. Sure, it makes him look like the monster of the family, but it's a title he accepted even from his brothers. Besides, there was no one and nothing to act nice for. The world was full of bastards that wished to snuff the light of other out. Better to scare those people off than let them in.
It's no one's responsibility to see past the layer of aggression Sam masks with... but if you do you'll see a heart of gold beneath it all. He is family oriented, deathly so. Long before the human world, he had accepted never being king as the thought of losing his older brothers hurt him to even imagine. Plus, he's incredibly protective of his younger brothers and children in general. Many of his scars were gotten in Matthew or Damien's place. Something Matthew never really knew to appreciate but Damien did.
There is also a layer of intimacy, the fear of it to be more accurate. Similarly to his eldest brother, there is a fear deep in his soul that he is too callous to let people in. The fear they'd get hurt trying to find a love he isn't capable of. Or, worst of all, the fear that he does have a heart that a particularly nasty person could take advantage of. If no one tries to get into his heart, no one can take advantage of it.
There is comfort in being the heartless monster of the family.
But maybe, someone just as stubborn as he is might be what he needs to open up.
I don't post too much about it but it has been taking over my brain for the past few months now. Inspired by @incubae-fics' modifications of the boys.
Slight recap, Edgy AU is Seduce Me... but edgy oooOOoOoh.
On this episode, I actually finished one of the refs! Matthew! Ft. Rika from @nelcorecreations
So remember when I said that canon Matthew is the rare type of "manchild" character that was genuinely optimistic without being immature? And that he's probably the most emotionally stable of the entire cast, Mika included?
Yeah, throw that out of the window for this guy. That insecurity that canon Matthew was strong enough to not let consume him, fully corroded Angst!Matthew's personality. If given some level of kindness and trust from the protagonist, though it may take a while, he will start to clean up his act to earn the kindness he was given.
Until then, he's gunna have some destructive behavior.
As with all my analyses, this is pretty long.
This is Part 1
Part 2: James
Part 3: Sam
In his attempt to feel stronger than many have told him he is, he bullies anyone he feels like he can. This is usually in the form of "pranks" that range from the generally annoying but not harmful stuff -like rocks in the shoes or booby trapping a drawer to spray dye- to the genuinely detrimental stuff that has gotten people injured, fired or (in the demon world) killed.
However, that doesn't always works; especially against the guy he harbors the most jealousy and resentment for, James. Once enough stress builds up, that's when the real freak out begins. Maybe he'll yell, maybe he'll attack someone, or break something, maybe he'll disappear for days at a time doing god knows what. He's unpredictable and sometimes dangerous in this mode to himself and others.
But no matter what he does one day, no matter what is said or done or who gets hurt, he acts normal the next day. He's generally smiley and goofy (in the most harmful way possible) but it's all fake. He's not actively lying to himself, rather he convinces himself to reset his state of mind everyday so he never has to deal with any lingering negative emotions. Everything is always fine the next day. Always. It has to be. After all, if it wasn't, he might actually break down. And may never put himself back together again.
Now, why is he like this? What changed to make him so far removed from the man he could have been?
A few things actually. But you can sum up the changes in three people. Aezera, James (and his brothers in general), and the staff.
In general, the Demon Lord is more violent but that is surprisingly minimal for Matthew. Instead, his major mental damage has more to do with his mother. She was controlling to say the least. Back in the castle, he was well behaved -for the most part- because any amount of deviation from the strict behavior and schedule Aezera set for him would risk her absolute rage.
Items have been thrown, things he made have been destroyed, and that stare... that panicked, wide eyes, damn near psychotic stare she'd give as she screamed and grabbed her son's shoulders with as crushing of a grip her phantom form would allow, it haunted him. It's not that she didn't love him, she did and he knew it. Because she did and her own mental issues and trauma, she never wanted him to showcase behavior "unbecoming" of the son of a pureblooded succubus. If he started to stray, she'd blow up at him. She held the reins on Matthew way too tight, giving him no freedom.
To a lesser extent, James is the same. Now this goes for all the boys, Damien included, however I'm using James as the example boy as he functions as the father figure and leader of this dysfunctional family so his words and actions held the most weight. James is a strict leader, expecting no less than perfection from his brothers. He had to for them to survive. Matthew was always seen as weaker than the others, that made him someone James saw as needing control or supervision at all times. While he was never as terrifying as Aezera, this controlling behavior extended to the human world.
Finally there was the staff, they were far more physically violent. The youngest two brothers were easy targets to pick on to relieve their anger at the monarchy. Matthew could and did stand up to them often but it always put him on the aggressive and malicious foot.
All of this culminated in a bottled rage and chaos that was released all at once when he was finally granted his freedom into the human world. There was just no controlling the monster they made. The tighter James attempted to hold the reins, the more chaotic Matthew got in response.
In a way, he became the unstable manchild people always perceived him as.
In full contrast to James, Sam was done slower than expected.

Question for all of my Seduce me fans(that's should be everyone here lol)
I am working on a fanfiction rewrite, because I'm absolutely obsessed and I have so much to do/say and so many little things I wish had been expanded on. Right now, I'm calling it Hold Me(get it! Get it! Because the options at the end of the first game is seduce me or hold me?? Gaaaah!!!! I'm OBSESSED)
Sooo, I'm posting to hear what little moments or things about the games do YOU want to be expanded on? Obviously idk if I'll be able to do everything but I definitely wanna hear what people took from these games before I just go rewrite with all the stuff I noticed and felt was important!!
Give me your hot takes things you think don't make sense whatever you feel!! Just YAP YAP YAP AT MEEEE I WANNA HEAR IT ALL
Ooh I was literally just doing a replay to take some notes for my own stuff! Here's some random details that don't get discussed a lot:
*there's a seal or crest of some kind on Harold's grave. Is it a family symbol, how old is the Anderson line, what symbols would be important to Harold? Is it a magical symbol, does it relate to Harold's ghost, or the seals on Mika and the mansion?
*Mika and her friends are obsessed with a Sherlock spoof called Therlock. This is deeply hilarious and dates the game perfectly.
*There's specific mention of energy transfer without intimate contact. Touching hands is given as an example. I think it would be cool to see how the boys share energy with each other. Sam would have to sit still, touching at least one brother. Probably for a few minutes to accurately dose energy transfer. Is it a moment for bickering, letting their guards down and actually talking/checking in? Does it feel awkward to share sexual energy with your brother, or is this something normal that they've done many times?
*Erik is given credit for doing at least some cooking. What kinds of dishes are his specialty?
*Mika assumes they know nothing about how laws work. To the point where she considers that they may not have known not to break in to her house. It'd be funny to see what other random cultural things the demons might get wrong, or getting to experience some of their wonder at the human world through their eyes
*Mika is also scared of them being used for experiments. I loooove the possibilities of this from an angst angle. Maybe their prior experiences in the human world are less vacation and more lab rats that have to break out.
*Damien and Matthew seem to know more about the seals on the mansion and Mika. James says something about sending the aura if the spell. I assume Harold's ghost/notes may have provided some information. I'd love to dig more into auras and what else a demon could know about Mika at a glance. It might explain why they're so quick to tell her about being demons, they assume she knows about magic since she has a protective spell on her.
*Diana mentions sweet virginal energy. I bet the virginal energy of the princes would be highly valued. Could their first time be auctioned off or used for political means?
