I'm so sorry for a loss like that, especially when they're so young..

Thank you, she was a wonderful person and very frank and funny.

I always have so much difficulty getting characters to look comfortable when theyre squished against someone else, but i loveeeee the latest piece you posted with lucanis snuggled up against rook and how you drew his mouth

He looks so snug and secure in there

I think it helps that he has a very expressive face and that I find it very squishable 😅

That and the fact that I want him to be comfy and secure and loved and to feel it, too. He deserves it :]

Hi! I had bought the keychains from your Rogues store earlier this year and I was just wondering if when the store reopens later this month, will the keychains be there again? I'm pretty distraught but someone stole the Riddler one I purchased from you and was so hoping there might be a chance at buying another one so I can keep an eye out..

Yes, there is a few things leftover that I can ship, it is not a lot, I have like 5 to 10 left average on singles. I am trying to figure out new prices and shipping due to some MAYOR moves and my life is a little scattered rn.

Sucks it got stolen, I know how that feels, its not great.

Thats so funny because I only dont care for lesson 16 and the lessons around it because i felt the resolution was a bit rushed in terms of everyone just suddenly being lovey dovey with MC cuz theyre descended of lilith. I would love to hear your thoughts on this when you get the chance!

honestly i WISH i were apathetic about lesson 16... but as a person being apathetic about something is impossible (sadly... it would bring me so much more peace if i could just not care) and so i do have a lot of thoughts about lesson 16? like bestie you've just unlocked a long long rant that's gonna be hidden under the cut

because it is just sooo absurd to me that that was somehow the best idea that the writers came up with, and the execution ended being so rushed and poorly written that it managed to make so many people think that the brothers only love mc and/or only started being open with mc about how much they adore them because of the lilith reveal. it's very much not like that at all (i have arguments for every single one of them tbh) but the way lesson 16 was written + some of the handling of some of the brothers' relationship to mc before that definitely makes more than understandable to me that people would think so.

so like, firstly i think that yeah, the resolution is so rushed and weirdly written. i think at the end of lesson 16, belphie should not be so immediately buddy-buddy with mc and there should've been dialogue from ALL the brothers that they're glad that MC is fine and isn't actually dead. the mammon favoritism from the writers kills me here—levi and beel should've said something about being worried to death and i won't take any other opinion on it! they've been close to mc and have had pacts with them for much longer than asmo and satan!! i can't even agree that asmo and satan wouldn't have been concerned because they were definitely worried when mc was sent back in time (as shown in lesson 12), and that is just a few hours away from the events of lesson 16.

not to mention, just a few hours before (technically after, but never got the chance to happen in the new timeline) they were called family—there is just no way that none of them are greatly relieved that mc is fine (because those feelings are there even if they're never said), and it's not enough that they're showing it through coddling them during that stupid scene where diavolo drops that 'there must be so much they've wanted to do for lilith' line.

in fact that line is another major issue i have with lesson 16—why did the writers think it was a good idea have that said? it just adds more to the 'oh they only love mc bc they're related to lilith' thing, and in a game where y'know, the goal is to kiss and fuck these guys, it's very weird and off putting.

(inb4 someone brings up that mc wouldn't have any blood relation to lilith and the brothers + it's been millennia (probably; but parts of canon imply that it's been like, just 200 years ago) since then so it's fine. idk but my inclination to fuck someone who drop super low if i thought/knew they associate me with being related to their sister, and it's also a little weird if they're thinking of their sister when they're with me—which isn't the case at all because the brothers very much love you outside of your lilith relation, but the handling of lesson 16 really makes it seem like youre now someone to project their affections for their long dead sister on sdgjkg especially with belphie being the only one to openly say that he doesn't like you purely bc you're related to lilith and that weird scene where lucifer's reminded of holding hands with his sister while he's holding hands with you at a carnival? such a baffling thing to make him say, writers. whatever blush i'd have would immediately drain from my face.)

i also think it's a fault of the writers that there is very, very little clear romantic attraction from the brothers to mc before the revelation. as far as i know, only mammon's been anything transparent + there's hints from lucifer and satan in lesson 12; i personally wouldnt count the time everyone was stuck in an otome because theyre were obligated to do all that or else they wouldnt be leaving the game and it was clear that they're all just saying those words to literally get points. they all make fun of mammon for having a crush on mc which sends the message that none of them are interested. while there is a huge, huge timeskip of what's apparently 10 whole months between the end of lesson 18 and the start of lesson 19, the fact that we don't get to see that development of feelings makes it feel even more like the revelation had something to do with the rest of the brothers catching feelings :/

then there's like, all the other issues i have with lesson 16 which have honestly become inspiration for dola's vitriol towards diavolo. it makes it so that all the of the heartwarming moments that mc experiences with the brothers never happened. all those little one-on-ones with the brothers when mc come back to the HoL with beel after belphie's arrested? never happened. all of them working together to get lucifer out so they can actually talk? never happened. and neither did that talk where lucifer himself tells everyone what really happened to lilith or why he's so loyal to diavolo, or the moment where mc is called family? erased. lucifer proving to diavolo and all his brothers that he cares more about his family than his eternal obedience to the prince? absolutely did not happened and is replaced by diavolo rubbing it in lucifer's face that he shouldn't have ever doubted him in the first place or some shit during lesson 16.

it's why i think mc should be so much more upset than they were during lesson 16. i get that the writers wont do that because ~blank slate~ (not saying cant bc lbr they lock you into choices and emotions you dont agree with ALL the time) but it leaves a sour and bitter taste in my mouth that after losing all of that, mc is just okay with everything. everything returns to almost normal, and we're actually in charge of making sure it goes completely back to normal! we have to help belphie bond with his brothers again!! great.

most frustrating somehow, all the things i come up with in trying to justify why that stupid lesson played out like it did feels like copium lmaooo especially since it feels like there's not really any payoff to diavolo ensuring that the only reality that exists is one where lucifer never openly opposed him in front of his brothers >.>;; it's such a weird lesson with such a weird conclusion, and an aftermath that i sped through because i could not get into the idea of my mc being so willing to help belphie bond with his brothers again so fast. i think with all the magical bullshit that they can make the brothers and diavolo pull bc OM has no rules to their magic, they couldve easily had mc come back from their mission to report that te door opened with their touch. then through some magical ritual of some sort, they go and investigate and find that lilith's spirit is just there and was the final sibling that enabled the door to open, and then diavolo channels enough magic through some obscure spell or device to get her to talk to them and belphie or whatever—literally there's so many ways that that lesson could've gone.

instead we have like... whatever the fuck that lesson is and i hate it lol

Who's more likely to initiate hand holding between nick and tua?

i think tua is!! at least consciously. tua is very touch-oriented once she trusts someone… theyll want to be near that person as much as possible. nick is a stress hand-holder where when he’s worried or bothered he’ll like. instinctively seek out tua’s hand to hold. some people’s instinct is to conga line out of danger, nick’s is to grab tua’s hand for support

Idk if this was the joke you were makin with that art but im convinced barbatos would go fucking catatonic when stoned. Dead silent, not a thought behind his pretty eyes, still as a statue for HOURS

HELP FDSKHFJSFBHDSK

not the joke but it's funny cuz I have talked abt the stoned thing before with friends and I think it would be so true... a very funny sight to see I would think!

someone said he would still try to get up and make people tea just out of habit and have to be told to sit back down and relax

[jellyluchi]

I'm absolutely stoned outta my mind rn so i need you to explain why you love prosciutto so much cuz i cant remember. Definitely not an excuse to gush. Not at all

KJBSD J help ilysm I can't imagine what my gushy rose colored words about him would sound like to you when ure high as fuck but I hope it sounds funny or at least makes you laugh because honestly at this point it's so hard to explain like.... he's just so.... like 🤌🤌🤌 yknow?? if I remember correctly I once said it's because he's so determined to do whatever villain shit he has to do which is admirable but also he's got a soft heart for his comrades like I'm gonna sound stupid bc he's a murderer but he's good dude y'know?? he's supportive maybe in a weird mean way but still so guiding and nurturing in a way and he'd help you and maybe he can get violent but clearly it's just for work and he's a chill guy at the end of the day shit I'm forgetting why I love him too like at this point it's just because he's Prosciutto and no one else is Prosciutto everyone else is just a non-Prosciutto extra that's just too dull and don't shine bright enough like him!!! he's just.. Perfect with a capital P perhaps that's what the P in his pendant stands for 😩literally was talking to my cousin about going all the way to Italy because someone hcs him as using a super expensive exclusive perfume and naturally I wanna smell it so bad like idk why this man compels me to move mountains for him but I would ! 😭 he just deserves a lot of love and care for what he goes through and deserves to relax and be happy have his dreams come true and for once smile 😭😭😭its terrible bc i see art of random blond men and I pray to god its Prosciutto art bc if its anyone else it disappoints me KJBASKJDBASJDB
