This year, to keep Vesper from messing with the Christmas tree I'll be placing multiple smaller Christmas trees around it that are covered in sex toys that way it'll hopefully distract him long enough.
That, or I'm storing it in a locked see-through glass case.
You have employed Lacai's help for the steady undercover supply of decoy Christmas trees. The imp is a little more composed than his King, so he can help you decorate and slide them into place relatively fast.
The real Christmas tree is in the garden, and you've tasked Cornulus with defending it. To the death.
Can we have a character intro for Vesper's old sexy gardener?
[Of course!]
Say hello to Cornulus
Although there's a fair amount of diversity in the royal grounds of Lust, perhaps seeing an older slothful furball of a man as the gardener is not what you'd expect.
But there Cornulus is, a surprisingly hard working older demon of barely high-ranking power, tending to a garden so massive that one can easily get lost in it.
A studious and ambitious sort in his youth, the man quickly found his calling in caring for all manner of plantlife, especially the exotic species across the Rings. Though, if you ask him, surface fuchsia are his favorite. Cornulus' skill made him sought after by increasingly more notorious people who were very willing to pay a pretty penny for his services, thus elevating him in social status. He sank into his work more than he should've, in all honesty. And if there's one thing Cornulus loathes, it's that he squandered many an opportunity to create lifelong bonds with others who showed interest in him.
He looks back and now realizes he ignored many gorgeous, well-meaning folks who had tried to start courting him- Picking instead easy and feeble flings that didn't interrupt his routine. And, well, if he wasn't tending to any plants, he'd much rather be sleeping than putting up with anyone...
Eventually, word of his prowess reaches the new Icons of Hell. An internal sort of battle beginning between them to lock him down as an exclusive asset to their Ring's royal displays. Zizz may have the advantage, but he was no match for the perspicacity of Vesper, who saw in Cornulus a great unfulfilled pervert.
One visit became two became three- Became a week stay... Until, soon enough, purple claws pinned him down. It was clear Cornulus fit better in Lust, surrounded by all the types of attractive people he denied prior, and now felt too old to pursue.
Even when he has the chance to visit the surface, he sees pretty humans like you in the prime of their time and deflates immediately, knowing that you'd sooner see him as a grandpa than a potential lover.
He doesn't realize he's falling into infatuation until he's looking forward to talking to you since the moment he wakes up. Until he's sending flowers he knows you like. Until Cornulus is staring down some asshat loser who wants to fool you into a relationship.
He's aware enough to know he's getting too deep into feelings that likely won't be reciprocated, that he's acting erratic and childish for someone of his age- But for once, he'd like to be the guy that wins the cutie's heart.
I'm thinking thoughts abount evolved Colmei and being the Hive Queen.
To be more specific, about who else would fall under your thrall. Lacai is a given, he'd already be on a leash beside your throne. The other one that comes to mind is Belo of all people. He doesn't like monsters at first all that much BUT technically you are human, just changed. Anyway yeah I see him being in awe when meeting you. He was so desperate to serve a higher being and well, post transformation you are the closest thing to a goddess on this planet. Maybe there might be some squabbling between him and Colmei, but they'll get along when they both breed you.
An even more suprising loser I had in mind is Vorago. Like maybe your little kingdom became powerful enough for glutton to reach out for an alliance of sort, sending the first born to convince you. Midway of him talking your breasts start to leak honey, Colmei at once starting to massage your swollen breasts with clawed hands. All in front of Vorago. At this point in your life you'd probably know most demons don't have an ounce of shame pr decency, so you don't feel the need to be embarrassed in front of the prince. Anywho you see him staring and ask if Vorago would like a taste. Cue Colmei holding Vorago's head in place as he gorges himself on your honey. He can feel ashamed about his lack of self restraint later.
This is great!
I actually love the idea of you becoming so powerful as Hive-Queen that you actually establish a political foothold in the world.
Colmei has absolutely no fucking idea what you're doing- But the Hive is stronger than ever and you're all safe! You are the best Queen to ever live and he's so proud of you he could cry snot and tears.
You'd be able to net more people for sure. Grimbly's on the menu. Cornulus would cave to pushing. An angel of lower cast could also follow in Belo's footsteps, since they behave a bit like drones. Sever. And Mooncalf, like any good fey, is in it for the honey (or so he says, the pervert).
Jumping on this anons idea of a 2025 Tumblr sexy man eldritch-spouse edition, perhaps only limiting it to ocs created in 2025, which would be Sol, Velamor, Cornulus, and Liter (and possibly the new concubus). It could be a nice wrap up for the end of the year and I'd be interested to see who comes out on top.
Oh shit, that I can do!
2025 MISS WHORE 🫵
Solvariel - The Dudebro dominion with a knight complex
Velamor - Mister let me crawl under your skin seraph

which of your characters use their obsession’s name the most?
since the scenarios are all ‘reader insert’, obviously you can’t have your characters say their obsession’s name and they all have their set of pet names, but if they did just say the name, who’d prefer that over pet names?
and who would prefer being referred to by name rather than pet name in return?
[One of the reasons as to why I try to give each character at least one pet name for you is to facilitate the fact that I can't use names in the situations where these characters are calling out to you, yes.]
More likely to use your name: Syb; Adrul; Dorem; Flints; Vorago; Lucidia; Xavier
Wants to be referred to by name: Cero (in public at all times); do not use pet names on siadar; Cornulus; Flints
This year, a very bored Vesper decided that his poor gardener, Cornulus, should spread the love and cheer of Christmas to a couple of surfacers, by dropping some dubious presents at night. All of this with the help of two (un)trustworthy elves!
Naturally, things get weird.
[I had plans to do more Christmas stuff, but as you know, I got quite sick and simply didn't have the energy to put my hands to work.]
[Idk why, the second image flips out a bit here, it's supposed to be transparent.]
With Cornulus I like the idea of him reuniting with one of the people trying to court him. We were trying to woo him when he was a young man and out of everyone, we were the one person he deeply regrets not pursuing. He carries on thinking that we are dead since it's been so long. But he sees us one day at a market. No longer a human but a sloth demon that still kept most of our features during the transformation and aged like wine. We look at him and playfully say: Well if it isn't Mr heartbreaker. Been an awful long time since I've seen you.
He didn't recognize you.
Not at first.
It was only when Cornulus saw your eyes that it clicked into place why he'd been called such. The general features of your face are something he never forgot. And what's even more bitterly amusing, is that you sport the same adoring, wounded expression- The one you made when he carelessly rejected you.
Worst mistake of his life.
He gets to make statements like that, now that he's lived a pretty long life. Cornulus would bet things must have turned out so different in the parallel universe where he wisened up young. He must be happier, perhaps have children, grandchildren... The gardener blinks away the ghost of a past that never was.
" The years have treated you more kindly than they did me. " He means it. " How have you been? "
Cornulus imagines you might be married. Have a family perhaps. He passed up the chance to wine and dine you, but surely, some smarter folks were waiting hand and foot for the chance. Maybe you have grown up kiddos running around, finding their own place in the world... Or maybe you're like him, alone, monetarily okay but sporting a void you never took the time to fill.
He wouldn't dare ask to have a coffee with you. Not yet, but Cornulus makes it a point to buy you a little thing. A souvenir.
Even if there's never another chance, if you loathe him, let some part of the sloth remain with you. A reminder of what never was.
Sooo… what are the likely chances this joke can be used in a friendly manner? And who would find it funny?
[I'm assuming you're talking about angels and demons here, as most other monster types will probably not care about it or find it funny.]
Many demons, quite frankly.
Especially the most unserious of the bunch, like Ludwig, Obie, Santi, Roch, Lemoana and Jayde.
You'll catch muffled amusement from Cornulus, Mervin and Nick.
Although angels aren't likely to be offended by this, Belo and Solvariel take it upon themselves to show you how to create proper repellents. Jonesy wonders why your mind works like this.
