Vel i need a Leviathan arc in the game where he is needed to return to his grand admiral duties and has to save MC 😩 or they save each other….i need an epic plot with my boy aaaaa
-@barbabetos
MC suddenly walks into Levi in the hallway and as they're about to say hi to him, he suddenly becomes flustered and hurriedly says that he has to head somewhere and leaves MC all confused where they stand. 😔 Later on they find Satan and he explains that Levi had to head to a very important Hell's Navy meeting and that's where MC mentions how they've never seen Levi out of his otaku element. Satan chuckles and tells them to just ask Levi to go with him next time since he would have a hard time refusing them now that they are close.
So the very next day they corner him and ask if they can accompany him next time, to which at first he refuses because it's MC! Having them by his side while in his full Admiral garb would surely kill him!! But after a good use of the puppy eyes attack from MC, Levi falls to 0 HP, and agrees to let them come to a trip on the Seven Hell's Seas on one of his ships. Since it's just a routine trip to inspect that the seas near the Devildom's borders are all right, MC should be just fine as long as they stay next to Levi.
But of course, Levi can't catch a break and imagine this whole trip as an impromptu date with MC because Mammon, Satan, Asmo, Solomon and Luke all decide to come with them because woohoo free boat trip! (and Luke's excuse is more of like "I just want to make sure MC is okay because Levi's such a shut-in, who knows if he really acts like an admiral while on duty?!")
A giant storm caused by an aquatic creature unfortunately messes the good ambiance on the boat and now that's where Levi shows his full potential by commanding his sailors, running around and screaming orders, and even though the situation's dangerous, everyone helps him and his crew, MC as well. Nobody recognizes the otaku they thought they knew: all they could see was the Grand Admiral of Hell's Navy in full action. Levi ends up summoning Lotan to fight the giant water beast while the rest of the demons, angel and wizard help stabilize the ship, and at some point Levi calls for MC's help! They end up bringing him a harpoon amidst the chaos, and as if his years of staying into his room had done nothing to his body, Grand Admiral Leviathan ends up throwing the harpoon with all of his strength right into the giant beast's eye and kills it!
The trip ends with Levi laughing yet still shaking from the sudden chaos and the fact that MC got put in danger despite his precautions (and he keeps blaming himself internally for the whole trip back), but everyone goes back to the Devildom's grounds with the certainty that when he wants, Levi can be really intimidating AND super cool.
He's back to playing video games the very next day though because boy was that exhausting.
aaaaaaa Iah now im thinking about skincare nights with Asmo turned heavy petting but you’re laughing at each other through the panting and moaning because you still have your mud masks on while he’s fingering you 😩😩😩♥️ yall look so silly but just can’t keep your hands to yourselves
-@barbabetos
I kept this ask hostage (is that how you say it??) because it's so sweet sdjkkfg but people deserve to see!! So sweet and cute and lighthearted!! Would absolute believe that half your skincare nights end up like this dskgjsdfg Just seeing you taking care of yourself would turn him on >.< or the way your dewy skin catches the light, or how your skin still shimmers from the glitter in the bomb you both enjoyed in your bath?? ;w;
inquiring minds want to know, what do you and Satan like to do most on the weekends? do you have any dates you try to do? or is it usually more on the spontaneous side? 💚 sending you kisses and hugs today!
-@barbabetos
Awhhh~ that's sweet of you. I am actually a huge homebody most of the time; when I go out, it's usually just to eat fdkjghg. I think I'd most enjoy just spending time with Satan, particularly in private; talking about books or shows or (I mean, it's WHATEVER I want, right?) fanfiction lol.
Every now and then there's some craving or some new place that I'd like to try. Italian, or maybe I want crepes, or maybe I want boba. And sometimes it IS fun to make plans, especially if there's a specific thing you're looking forward to. It's sometimes better if I have time in advance to like, hype myself up for it skdg.
For spontaneity I'd be happy to like, hop out for a quick bite, but what I'd really look forward to is just sitting around, joking, probably talking some shit, sharing unreasonably strong opinions and making cases for them.
I am very easily pleased with the people I like kjhfglshfg as long as I get to monopolize them a bit. Sometimes you just wanna feel like your love's attention is ALL on you, they wanna talk to you, spend time with you, and you just,,, enjoy THEM to the fullest, and not what you're doing.
That make sense? djkghldshg. Thank you for asking, it was neat to think about for a bit. You're lovely <3
Iah! what endearments do you think Satan would call us? ♥️ ill save you the trouble of not saying the corny ones i headcanon for him hehe :>
-@barbabetos
Agsjaha oh no you’re asking me??? When I think the ones he uses for Dola are corny as hell too? 😭
Tbh I think he’d make it a point to be like… Personal? Or like referential to something that’s special to you? He’d overthink it a lot and try out different ones to see your reaction imo and it’ll be the ones you respond best to that’ll stick. And they would all be a little cringe tbh but I feel like most personal endearments are like that >.> Meant for you two in private too, and in public he’d either call you by your name or something safer, like his love or his dear.
Like… If he’s ever encountered a poem about the stars, thought about you, and read it to you as you’re cuddling together on his bed? Perhaps, if you really liked it, he’d call you his starlight or simply his star (if you don’t cringe)
If he’s ever taken you to a picnic in a meadow, then perhaps his rose or his flower, perhaps his sunshine (and he’s the flower), or his sweetheart, his honey?
Did you read a book together where the main couple reminded you of each other? He may call you by the endearments his book counterpart used for their lover as a cute reference.
(My personal favorite is him calling you his heart—because he’s never felt love until you came along, so you may as well be the heart he thought he never had.)
oooh, would love to know about Dola’s relationship/dynamic with Mammon?
-@barbabetos
:o Mammon!
They had a rough start tbh! At the very start of the exchange program, Mammon stole and sold a few things from her as soon as he found out that she's an artist of some importance in the human world + didn't know her well enough to give a shit (not that she thought any good of him at first anyway, with an awful first impression >.>). Which lead to her collaborating with Levi to force a pact out of Mammon. Whole ordeal made for her using the pact to like... Force him to stay away from her for a while (which prompted some headbutting with Lucifer, and some rearrangements on her chaperone because she can't be without one, all that.)
But it does get a good deal better! Dola tends to stay back and observe, and during her observations she noted that Mammon's pretty redeemable and has his good points. Plus once she eased up on him + would actually argue against his brothers from time to time in his defense (mostly Lucifer), they started actually getting along. I think Mammon eventually figures out that he has to drop the whole tsundere thing with her, because even if she gets what he means she just doesn't have the patience for it.
Their relationship's a bit like... Older brother figure shows sheltered kid the world but like in bit of a clumsy way? Dola never really got out much growing up so there's a lot she doesn't know + doesn't really hang out one-on-one with Mammon that often, but whenever they do it tends to become him showing her something cool around the Devildom or something fun to do that she's never done. Usually there's a "what d'ya mean you've never done x or y???" Sometimes it works out and she enjoys herself, sometimes she hates the thing and may fight Mammon on wanting to go home hdfkfgh
She does appreciate what he does, though they do end up arguing sometimes because the way he communicates (or sometimes, fails to communicate >.>) gets on her nerves at times, plus there's the fact that his greed tends to get them all into some sort of problem that she doesn't want to deal with. She doesn't like that, and lets the others chew him out whenever it happens.
They also do like, chill bonding stuff like shopping together (usually his treat in the Devildom, her treat in the human world depending on where they're shopping) and he sometimes goes to her for help with modeling gigs? Since he knows that she's in some demand in the Devildom with her rep as Many Things.
At some point she goes after the witches who keep hounding him for cash and sorts out the situation with the kid that he's paying to have them foster her. She's rich so like... Either she pays them off herself or she just intimidates them into leaving him alone. Likely the latter once she's got the skills tbh
@barbabetos
Send me a character and I'll tell you how my one OC feels about them (or if you somehow remember the names of my other rarely mentioned OCs, you can ask about them too lmao)
Iah what if i wanted to go on an evening beach date with Satan. what if we held hands and i watched as he rolled up the cuffs of his jeans to toe through the sand to find me shells. or if he held my sandals while i run along the shoreline and he watches me laugh. what if he picks me up and spins me around as the sun sets and kisses me and we both taste like saltwater. what if i his shirt was unbuttoned and billowing in the breeze and his hair was all disheveled as he grins and tells me he’s in love with me. i need ittttt
-@barbabetos
then he’d happily hold your hand as you tread the edge of where the waves reach the sand, and while it’s sweet and romantic he can’t help but playfully tease you about throwing you into the water a little just to see your reaction. perhaps you let go of his hand to run off after he gave you a rather convincing look that said he was actually going to do it, and he gives chase—and even though he could easily catch you, he lets you get a lead just to watch you with fond, tender eyes as you laugh and giggle and yelp a little when the sand nearly makes you trip.
that’s when he makes use of that demonic speed to reach you to make sure you’re okay. your shoes have been dropped to the side, you’re in his arms, and you’re both a little startled. then the laughter returns and he carries you to where you can sit and the waves wouldn’t reach.
the sun is setting and the sky gets darker. he tells you he loves you, he’s in love with you, and points to the horizon. the setting sun, the sky, and the sea can’t compare to your beauty. he wraps an arm around you, ‘it’s getting cold’ he says, but you know it’s just his excuse to hold you close. do you pick up your shoes and head home when the night grows cold and the moon is your only light? or does he point to the stars and tell you their stories in the hopes of impressing you just a little bit more?
since im in love with Dola…..Iah i would love to hear any of your favorite headcanons for her and Satan (or Sol….or both hehe)
-@barbabetos
:0 omg… I feel like I have a ton but each time someone asks me I either blank out or feel so ridiculous writing them out >.< But this is the second time someone’s asked for them sdjkfhd I’m also super not sure how to do this aaaaa
So Dola got together with Satan first, and that’s after a lot of encouraging on both ends from the brothers and even the Purgatory men. Bit of a slow burn, and in my head they do that thing where it’s a solid friendship that becomes very domestic and comfortable. Then one day it just hits Dola that she really wants to hold his hand as they walk back to the HoL from RAD and Satan wants to give her a kiss after she takes some tea up to his room after he’d been in there reading nonstop for several hours. Basically like… a slow burn friends-to-lovers thing!
Honestly fully believe in Satan trying to do research on what to do next to court a human once he realizes what exactly it is he’s feeling, so he does a mix of demon and human traditions which end up… Not quite working? Since they were already acting like a couple anyway so it ended up being more of the same really, which frustrates him since he can’t really tell whether Dola returns his feelings or not. Doesn’t help that he overthinks any signs he gets and that she’s actively trying to hide and shove her feelings down because she doesn’t want to enter a relationship with Satan knowing that she’s not going to live for more than a century, and even a century is pushing it. But she also really, really wants to give it a shot anyway because the alternative is ‘life’s short, so why not?’
It’s his spiel when he finally confesses that tips the scales towards them being together. What does he say? Who knows, but it made her cry and say yes.
Anyway anyway—
I firmly believe that Satan’s taste in fashion eventually gets better over time the longer he’s with Dola, and it’s partly because she’s makes it very known when she likes what he’s wearing… and she really likes it when he wears like, dark academia with a slight grungy/punk edge. I feel like I saw the term ‘punk academia’ to describe what I’m imagining but I don’t really have the fashion terms >.> She’s aware that she’s conditioning him into dressing different and makes the most of it. He knows what she’s doing as well, but since he just benefits from it with Asmo leaving him alone about his fashion sense + people telling him that he and Dola look good together since their looks match more he’s more than okay with it.
They go on a lot of odd dates, often to try something new. They’ll go try out new cafes/restaurants, go see a new gallery show, take a class to learn something that’s completely out of one or both of their skillsets/comfort zone, or spend the day at home following YouTube tutorials on how to do x thing the whole day. Or they teach each other new stuff! Dola’s tried to show Satan how to embroider, knit, felt, sew, weave; Satan’s shown her a lot of more complicated recipes, taught her latte art, book binding, for some reason I see him as good at calligraphy and origami? Not to mention dates where they just work on a piece of art or a story together. They’ve definitely made illustrated books and paintings together, which Satan’s somehow managed to make room in his room for.
He helped Dola design her tattoo. He spent a good long while helping her research flower language and helped her match flowers to him and his brothers + the Purgatory boys (though his representation on there is more the leaves and herbs, according to her).
This is so Expected but they definitely rescue cats and kittens and the occasional other animal (usually birds or dogs) and take care of them together once Satan’s living with Dola up in the human world. Mostly they foster them until they have a new home, but a foster fail (or three) is unavoidable. Sometimes Satan’s tempted to take the Ring of Light (or when Solomon’s around, the Ring of Wisdom too) just so he can get a chance to talk to the animals he encounters too, but decides against it when he remembers that there’s no telling what wearing one of them would do to a demon.
Their longest lived ‘pet’ is a little black scorpion from Asmo that lived for an unnatural 70 years. They named it Momo after the gifter and it lived in a vivarium Solomon helped them set up. It glowed pink under blacklight and shone a shimmery rose if the light hit it right.
It’s isn’t really big spoon and little spoon with them it’s mostly ‘which part of Satan is my pillow tonight?’ when they sleep lol
They’ve come up with this system for when Satan gets angry and has trouble calming down. Dola gets his attention on her then uses a pact command to get him to take a few deep breaths before she asks him what he wants to do—be comforted, break something, get distracted, or be left alone. Usually Satan goes for a vent or comfort, though each of those options lead to some comfort anyway once Satan’s calmed down and tired out.
NSFW?? Since I don’t know where else I’m going to put these + remembered the first one after the anger thing
Angry sex isn’t really much of a thing with them. Like, sex gets rough sometimes (especially once Dola’s a lot sturdier thanks to magic), but if he’s angry he’s not going to risk it in case he gets too carried away in the heat of the moment. He’s still a demon with demonic strength, after all, no matter how much control he has over himself he’s not going to fully trust himself with her being that vulnerable if he’s any amount angry.
And speaking of sex, these two don’t really get into power dynamics much and just go with what the night’s mood is. Typically goes between light giggly sex, rough fucking, or serious and romantic lovemaking. Sometimes they’ll let the other take the lead to start, and occasionally set a few rules to follow for the night to spice things up but for the most part they’re very go with the flow.
Between the two… Idk I just think they both have had no experience prior to each other. Just too many irons in the fire and both just strike me as sentimental types who’d want to have sex with someone they deeply love and for Satan he’s only started feeling emotions other than anger + hatred while Dola’s there so… >.>;; While for Dola, she was just genuinely too busy or too depressed to even entertain the thought of a relationship prior to being in the Devildom.
So lots of experimenting and exploring, for sure. They’re both curious and have a ‘don’t knock it til you try it’ attitude and thankfully they found that their kinks and turn-ons are mostly the same, and one is usually willing to compromise for the other for the ones that aren’t. Dola’s a little hard on herself for not being into that many kinks (she has… high expectations of herself in a lot of ways even if it doesn’t make sense), but after a night involving degradation and impact play went badly after she overestimated herself, Satan’s promised to make absolutely sure that she always knows he doesn’t hold any of her aversions against her.
Dola asked him if they could have sex while he’s in his demon form once. He turned her down so she never brought it up again after that, but after a while when he was comfortable and trusted himself enough that he wouldn’t hurt her, he agreed to give it a try. It turned out to be really tender, sweet night of lovemaking that had him on the receiving end of a lot of body worship and since then he’s in his demon form about half the time they fuck. And yeah I headcanon that his dick’s different when he’s in his demon form dsfhjkdf
I feel like I ended up writing way more than you might’ve wanted??? Anyway here’s some that have come to mind that I don’t cringe too much at when I think about saying them out long (or posting them in public here?) Thank you for asking tho omg
Ahhh i really love to play Tears of Themis but like you said in the tags it really turns me off sometimes! like the game goes above and beyond to make the mc involved so much in the stories and pictures that it’s like…is this really even a self insert?? i am too jealous for it as well sometimes like i get mad seeing her with Artem 💀💀💀
-@barbabetos
I haven’t really played much beyond some of the first part but I got the impression when I played that you’re just playing as Rosa and get to make her do stuff? More than the MC being a blank slate you can project on to be a self-insert... Just seems to have a whole personality already (or perhaps the choices I wanted to make simply do not line up with what makes sense for the story/being a lawyer?) and I do see the appeal of it for others, but it’s really not for me.
Which isn’t to say I don’t appreciate games where you play as someone else and live their story, but something about it being an otome… Idk >.> I greatly prefer what OM and TWST do, even if in TWST you’re not romancing anyone.
I remember someone somewhere, can’t remember where, saying they ship Rosa with Luke but made a whole new MC in their head to ship with everyone else lmao >.> But it’s hard to pretend that that’s not Rosa in the CGs and dialogue portraits…
