To bring back KPop demon hunters songs to the switched au...

Reader and the others' reactions to the songs. Especially Golden, Takedown, and Your Idol >:3c

Darius is watering the lawn shirtless while singing to "Soda Pop" and bopping along to it, drawing the entire neighborhood's attention. XD That's literally the first thing that came to mind. Bonus: if R!Caleb is in the next yard, gardening as well, and being an absolute dork with him. Maybe Darius feels like he knows the guy from somewhere.

Only you know your own reaction to the songs B3

Adrian is a closet fan, opening up to hating it due to its popularity, but he's the one who's hunting down all the Huntrix and Saja Boys merchandise. You might catch him singing Golden in the shower or any time he thinks he's alone XD

Alador may mutter the lyrics while working and subtly move to the beat, but that's as far as he goes. His attention is usually on other things within the human realm that fascinate him more.

Steve is the type who will have "Take Down" blasting on his motorcycle while out and about. On repeat. You can chalk it up to him being salty over how things in the Boiling Isles went down, and, while he may not show it, he aims the song right at Belos. It also makes him think of Raphael, someone he was really close to in the Boiling Isles.

Belos is indifferent unless you're involved. You might catch his shoulders moving to "Soda Pop," but he stops when he realizes he's doing it. The only way he's going to get more involved is if he somehow finds out Huntrix are demon hunters XD He does tend to lean toward "Your Idol" due to the religious undertones.

The survey will stay up until Sunday to give me an idea of who will be around in the Switched!AU. Thinking about introducing Reincarnated!Caleb as the "guy next door" who will get dirty looks from the guys when you interact with him, and you find Belos constantly stalking him.

After dealing with a massive plumbing emergency today and passing out after it was fixed from the heavy anxiety and fatigue it caused, I'm going to be disinfecting everything so I will be around if anyone wants to drop asks XD Got some Bailey's coffee in me, so I'm awake 8U

We can even talk about the whole fangs thing DDV dropped for Philip/Belos while I was fretting over how much the bill was going to be =_= I just wish I could get Belos looking semi-decent and that DDV would give us "tattoos" in a sense.

Oh, and I did turn replies off for posts, mainly because I tend to overlook them, and I forgot that they come with character limits -_- For someone like me who can get carried away with writing, that's a curse XD I left anon on the asks tho so don't be afraid to drop a line 8D I don't bite... hard |D

Philip stared in shock at the two humans standing before him in the throne room

This evening Kikimora had informed him about how two "wild witches" were pulled out of the water by the denizens of the aisles

While they were dragged to the castle, they both keep insisting that they weren't wild witches and to let them go

"You guys don't understand! We are not witches, we literally did nothing to deserve getting arrested!"

"It's true! witches can do those magical circles, right? We can't even do magic!"

Then one of the guards asked. "If you two aren't witches, then what are you?"

"We are humans!"

It was then when the guards took more attention to their ears, they weren't pointy, they were round!

They were still taken to the throne room, there was the possibility that they were lying after all

When he heard about them being humans, he started to form plans to make them stay at the castle and away from those witches

He doesn't know what he expected, but he definitely didn't expect this

They, both of them, looked so much like them

Beloved and Caleb

He snapped out of his shocked state fairly fast and asked. "What are your names?"

They both looked at each other, silently deciding what to do and looked back at him

"My name is Caleb and this is my sibling, their name is (y/n)"

.....

Preluz au where Caleb and reader are reincarnated as siblings (Caleb being three years older), end in the boiling aisles years before canon (after the reader got shoved by Jacob, Caleb jumped into the lake/river to try to save them) and then they get to stay at the castle

Let's call it " reincarnated siblings " or something!

After a short explanation of how you and your brother came to be in the Boiling Isles, the intimidating figure known as Emperor Belos said something that Caleb misunderstood. He believed the two of you were now prisoners when in reality it was to protect you and him due to the nature of the Isles. Your brother went off, all while keeping you behind him protectively. He told the emperor that the two of you were leaving and he had no right to keep either of you there.

"Caleb, calm down-" you lowered your voice. "That's not what-"

"NO! I'm not going to calm down! We are not going to be treated this way! I am done with being dragged around and manhandled-!"

Belos stared at the man as he ranted on and on. A situation when he was young came to mind where Caleb went off on a priest who had agreed to take them in right after their parents had died. The priest was a cruel man in private and tormented the two boys to the point of causing Caleb to snap. Of course, he was beaten for this as punishment but it ultimately led the older boy to essentially kidnap his younger brother as the town believed the priest to be kind and just and make their way, unknowingly, to Gravesfield. Kikimora's voice snapped him out of his stare.

"How dare you speak to the Emperor that way-!"

"It's quite all right, Kikimora," Belos stood, staff in hand. "Clearly, our guests are tired and will need some time to let their situation sink in. Separately."

Belos had turned his head in your direction, causing your eyes to widen. Caleb's rant came to a halt upon realizing what the man said.

"WHAT?! NO! Y/N!"

The coven scouts who brought you in grabbed Caleb and went to do the same to you as he was being dragged toward the door when Belos spoke again.

"Leave them. I wish to speak with them. Alone."

Hearing this, Caleb started to thrash harder, screaming at the top of his lungs as he was dragged out to the point that one of the coven scouts had to put him to sleep with a flute. Fear crept into the back of your mind as you watched your brother lose consciousness and be dragged out of sight.

"Caleb-!"

A shadow fell over you and you looked up at the intimidating figure, his glowing blue eyes boring down into yours. His voice was soft, unfitting of his appearance.

"He will not be harmed, my dear. Neither will you. I assure you, you will be reunited with him once he has calmed himself. I am not your enemy."

You felt the bindings around your wrists come undone as Emperor Belos held his hand out to you.

"Come. There is much to discuss."

I was looking for that one post with fluff headcanons between Phillip and Reader, you know the one where he's sleepy and isn't letting us out of the bed to go to bathroom (couldn't find it ;n; ), and it got me thinking about our old good Belos.

What are some fluffy gestures that he would do that normal Belos wouldn't? Do you think he would show us he's face if we asked him? I hope that he's ready to get hugged and to hold hands with us, because I want to do it. ALL THE TIME. Like it doesn't leave my head when I think about him 🥰😌

Also because of you my brain is coming up with the most angsty combinations, like can you imagine Apocalypse AU and Good!Belos? That would break him 😨😭

Good!Belos would try to get you a pet to keep you company when he's not around, though it takes him a while to figure out what you can have that he won't kill accidentally and won't kill you. Ultimately, he may begrudgingly opt for a Palisman but won't tell you it's a Palisman so you don't give it to him if he's having issues. It's Honktavius who still bites the shit out of him whenever he tries to play nice with the goose.

He'll take you for walks outside the castle in the larger cities, though they would be heavily guarded when you're there so the two of you wouldn't be attacked. There may be a festival that he's attended throughout the years and he wants to experience it with you.

He'll take you to his favorite areas, maybe some that hold some bitter-sweet memories, hoping you'll make them better.

Basically, with Good!Belos, you would enjoy the Boiling Isles more so as long as those wanting to attack him don't attack you.

Oh, the Apocalypse AU would DEVASTATE HIM. The stress of knowing that his original home is gone and that he cannot go back with what was left of his brother's corpse to lay both of them to rest would result in his monster side slowly seeping out. His antlers would sprout over time and if he took off his mask, he's not human under it. He'll want nothing more to hide but also knows that until he calms down or finds alternative plans/thoughts, he's going to stay like this. Seems like having you around reverses it slightly.

Just imagine how much stress he'd be in if Reincarnated!Caleb was in the group in that AU...

[the-enchanted-archivist]

I just thought of something. So you know how, in the siblings au, R!Caleb and R!Reader were at an event before they ended up in the Boiling Isles, right?

What if the event was a reenactment about the Wittebane brothers?

With R!Caleb portraying Past!Caleb and R!Reader portraying Philip, but before they could even start their part of the event, the whole thing with Jacob shoving R!Reader into the lake/river happened and they both ended in the Boiling Isles.

I just want to know Belos reaction to R!Caleb and R!Reader wearing the exact same clothes he and his brother used to wear.

Bonus : R!Reader is the one wearing the blue jacket because, from what i see in the mindscape, Past!Caleb had left without it.

Jacob probably wanted Philip's role and was angry you got it instead which is why you got pushed in. Maybe he was hoping if you were out of the way, he'd step in for the part. Being wet, you'd have to change into Beloved's costume instead.

He just didn't expect Caleb to see him do it.

Or... OR... R!Caleb went into the BI wearing the coat and Belos witnessed him putting the coat over your shoulders as a comfort if you started to have a panic attack or were cold, mirroring what P!Caleb had done for him when they were young.

(Bonus: You and Caleb were supposed to have a third sibling that was to be born after Caleb but due to the short time between yours and Caleb's age, the sibling didn't make it and was stillborn. It could be speculated that it was supposed to be Philip's reincarnation but failed. due to no soul being available. Maybe that took Caleb's mom's life and you're from a different mother, maybe a different father too and you two met when you were a toddler, your mom marrying his dad. Caleb latched onto you the moment you were introduced as his sibling because he wanted a sibling so badly. He doesn't acknowledge any differences between the two of you, he just knows you're his siblings and... he might be a bit possessive about it...)

We've had R!Caleb meeting Hunter (who I sincerely hope is growing on Caleb. like a fungus), but what about Caleb meeting Raph?

Oh he is >w>

Caleb is weary about Raph but isn't above poking them with a stick while hiding when told how dangerous Raph can be.

"Hmm... Looks like me... isn't talkative... goth... hits the gym often... definitely killed someone before..."

He gets the stick taken from him, and Raph breaks it in their hands before their head snaps in Caleb's direction.

Next thing anyone hears is crashing and Caleb yelling as he's being chased through the castle with Raph on his heels, only to be joined by Hunter who tried to intervene and only pissed Raph off more >XD Hunter tripped and is now under Caleb's arm holding on for dear life. The coven heads are placing bets with Kikimora that Hunter and Caleb will die.

Belos, who had been wandering the castle with you, hears the commotion and puts his head in his hand.

"What part of 'leave the Black Guard alone' do they not understand?"

"Knowing my brother? All of it. -__-' He idolized Steve Irwin when we were growing up."

"Caleb latched onto you the moment you were introduced as his sibling because he wanted a sibling so badly. He doesn’t acknowledge any differences between the two of you, he just knows you’re his siblings and… he might be a bit possessive about it…"

Is Caleb a platonic yandere? Is he just protective because the death of his mom and his stillborn brother traumatized him? Or both?

He very well could be 8< No doubt the death of his mother and brother would cause him to become protective and clingy but he may have become a platonic yandere toward Philip if he had actually made it, especially if it was a difficult birth/their mother didn't make it. So both perhaps 8<

You're unaware of what he does behind your back but Belos is going to find out soon enough when Caleb starts to connect the dots between you and Belos.

R!Reader : *is in bed because they have a high fever* this sucks.

R!Caleb : here, i brought you some ice cream.

R!Reader : *is being dramatic* *gasp* Caleb? Caleb! Is that really you?

R!Caleb : *chuckles* unless i have been cloned.

Belos : *starts sweating*

Based on this

PFFFFT. Hunter is standing right next to him so it's like you're seeing doubles only one is much shorter >XD

Though, we all know you have the Common Mold and you have to deal with your brother poking you because he finds it "fascinating" and goes starry-eyed with the mushrooms that sprout on your head.

Belos is not very thrilled to see this reaction from him XD

Belos: Your sibling could have died from this.

Caleb: I know... but the only time I've ever seen anything like that was when a fungus took over an ant's body and mind and made it into a zombie! *gasps and grabs you by the shoulders and shakes you urgently* DON'T LISTEN TO THE FUNGUS, Y/N! IT'S NOT YOUR FRIEND-! OW! *releases you when you land a punch in his face and you curl back up to sleep*

You: Jerk >|[

Belos: *confused at first then facepalms. Of course, this was a reflection of what his brother was like. All he hoped now was he didn't start spouting horrible jokes and puns* That is not what is going to happen...
