designs for some cats from my inner demons… 🤔💭

[sharlinna]

Hcs of daemos boys with an s/o that is insecure? Just looking for a little comfort😔

I'm honestly bad at comfort but i'll try my best to make it accurate. Their attitudes will be early stage relationship so their personalities peak out a bit more ^^

Asch stood rigidly in front of you, his eyes fixed on your face.

With the lump in your throat threatening to burst into words, you were chewing on the inside of your cheek and could hardly meet his eyes.

He finally asked, his deep voice tinged with unusual hesitancy.

"Did I say something wrong?" Although you quickly shook your head, the truth was already leaking out before you could stop it.

"No, it is not that. Asch, I just... don't understand. Why me?" His face flickered with irritation as his brow furrowed.

"What kind of question is that?" Even though his bluntness made you wince, you persisted.

"I mean, you’re a Daemos- powerful, intimidating, everything I’m not. You could have anyone. Someone better. Someone who-"

"Stop."

The single word was sharp enough to cut through your rambling, leaving silence in its wake. Asch's expression darkened, but his voice softened when he spoke again. "Do you think I waste my time on things I don’t care about?"

You blinked up at him, unsure how to respond.

"I chose you," he said, like it was the simplest thing in the world. "You think I’d stand here and argue with you if I didn’t want this? If I didn’t want you?"

Your chest tightened just a fraction.

"You’re mine," he said firmly. "Stop questioning it."

It wasn’t poetic or sweet, but coming from Asch, it was everything.

💕💘

💘💕

Rhys was sitting across from you, calm as ever, his eyes examining you as if you were a puzzle he had to solve. Your hands twisted together in your lap as you writhed under his stare.

Finally, with a calm but curious tone, he said, "You have been quiet. What’s bothering you?"

Even though it made your stomach turn, you made yourself talk.

"I just... I don’t think I’m good enough for you."

Rhys's expression was unreadable as he cocked his head slightly. "Enough? In what way?"

"I mean..." You let out a sigh and spoke quickly. "You are so... flawless. You are calm and smart, and I am just a mess who can hardly keep up. I feel as if I'm pulling you down."

Rhys remained silent for a moment, his eyes unblinking. Then he folded his hands neatly on the table and leaned forward.

He said, "You misunderstand," calmly. "Partnerships on Daemos are founded on purpose rather than perfection. I picked you because you are important to me, not because you are perfect. We Daemos are hardly entitled to such feelings, so once they do come by, it means something special."

You were taken by surprise and blinked. "Why would I matter to someone like you?"

"Simply put, because you remind me there’s more to life than duty," he claimed. "You help me maintain balance. We would not be talking right now if I did not think you were worth my time."

His words had a weight that tightened your throat, but they were not romantic or flowery. Rhys's hand hovered over yours and then lightly settled there.

"Stop doubting yourself," he said.

"You're exactly where you're supposed to be- with me."

💕💘

💘💕

Leif leaned against the doorframe, his trademark smirk slightly grimaced, as he watched you pace back and forth.

"Alright," he asked casually, "what is eating at you? And do not say 'nothing,' because you are about to wear a hole in the floor."

You paused in mid-step and glared at him. "It IS nothing," you muttered while crossing your arms. Leif's brow raised, his grin widening.

"Uh-huh. Sure. Do you want to try it again?

You sighed, your frustration spilling out. "Fine! I do not understand why you are with me, okay? You always seem so carefree, as if none of this matters. And me? I feel like... you could leave at any time and not care." His smirk faded entirely, replaced by something gentler, non-typical for the type of guy Leif is.

He pushed off the wall and crossed the room in a few long strides, stopping just in front of you. "Leave? Why the hell would I leave?"

"Because you don’t care!" you blurted, tears threatening to spill. "You treat this like it’s some big joke, Leif, and I-"

"Hey, hey." His hands rose, hovering near your shoulders, as if he was not sure if touching you was allowed.

"You've got it all wrong, okay? Yeah, I am bad at serious stuff, but that does not mean I don't care. I am here, aren't I?" You sniffled and stared at him through watery eyes.

"That isn't exactly reassuring." Leif chuckled while scratching the back of his neck.

"Alright, fair point. Look, I don't stick around for things I do not care about. And you? You are not something I am letting go of. So, maybe I am not very good at romance, but I am giving it my all because you deserve it. Got it?"

His grin was back, lopsided and undeniably Leif, and you felt the weight in your chest ease.

💕💘

💘💕

Noi sat across from you, his normally bright and cheerful expression clouded with concern. His fingers fidgeted with the hem of his tunic, and his ears twitched nervously.

"Did I mess up?" he asked softly, his voice unusually low. You shook your head, tears clouding your vision.

“No, Noi. You did not do anything wrong."

"Then why are you upset?" he asked, pressing closer. "I hate seeing you sad..." Your throat tightened, but you pushed yourself to speak.

"I just... do not understand why you are with me. I am not particularly strong or special. I feel like I am holding you back."

Noi's eyes widened as he quickly shook his head. "That is not true! If anything, you are the one that keeps me together."

You looked at him, caught off guard. "What?"

"On Daemos," he said softly, "everyone believes I am weak. If strength were all that mattered, I would not be alive. But you do not see me that way. You make me believe that I can be more than just a disappointment."

Your chest ached from the vulnerability in his voice. "I know I am inexperienced with this love thing," he added, his cheeks flushing.

"But I want to improve- for you. So do not think you are not enough, okay? You are everything." His raw honesty made your heart swell, and for the first time all day, you felt your doubts fade.

💕💘

💘💕

Pierce stood in front of you decisively, arms crossed, his gaze focused solely on you. His silence was oppressive, almost suffocating, until he broke it.

"You have been distant." The harshness of his tone made you freeze.

"I have not been-"

"Do not lie." His voice was low and sharp, but not cruel. He stepped closer, his gaze unwavering. "What is wrong?"

You paused, the words caught in your throat. "I just... I don't feel like I belong beside you. As if I'm enough."

His jaw tightened, his expression colder than before. He kept quiet for long enough that your chest tightened in fear. When he finally spoke, he did so deliberately. "You do not understand."

You whispered, "What do not I understand?" To which he exhaled, as if struggling with how to explain.

“I don’t waste time. Not with anyone. Not with emotions. If I have chosen you, then you belong.”

It was not the comforting reassurance you were hoping for, but his blunt sincerity cut deeper than flowery words could.

"I just do not want to let you down," you said softly, looking away.

Pierce furrowed his brow. He took a step closer, his presence becoming more steady. "I led armies, Y/n. Every day, I made decisions that endanger the lives of others, including myself. And I chose you." His voice softened slightly. "That is not a mistake."

The quiet conviction in his tone made your chest ache, and the weight of your doubts lifted just slightly.

"You will learn to trust that," he simply stated before turning away.

"And yourself." It was neither sweet nor tender, but it was Pierce. And that was enough.

This is what I do instead of finishing the chapter smh. Let me pass away in peace 🙏😞

‘’ What is this place ?.. ‘’

BACK IN THE APHMAU PHASE BABY !!

Originally, I started this drawing shortly after episode 2 of Mermaid Tales Season 2 Episode 2 came out ! Though I got sidetracked thanks to me rejoining my MHA phase as well as school.. whoops. Well I finished it today though !! Hope you like it!

DRAWING EASTER EGGS:

- All the scenes in the memory bubble either include the specific scene referenced in the voice lines in the episode, or includes some of Aphmau’s series!

- I know lady Irene specifically had a scene of her own, however the small tiny glowing dots, or mini memory bubbles, represent Irene! It’s because she’s mostly the reason why everything happens. She’s the tiny bubbles that form into bigger bubbles, which make up Aphmau’s universes if that makes sense.

oh my gosh what have i done. wh. why is Zex cute what. what. WHAT HWAT HAVE I DONE

[bladexjester]

Lady Bish and Zex

Just wanted to try and draw these two

[xxghostyyxx]

hi!! So I don’t know if you’ve heard of this ship on my inner demons, its a rare pair so it’s not really known but what do you think of Zex x jake:D

Sorry its a bit short, theres not a lot on these two but hopefully more in season two!

I feel like they met on the stairs, Jake seeing Zex walk up and they almost fell in love at first sight but Jake fell head over heels. (Jake fell first, Zex fell harder) I feel like Zex would sneak into the human realm just to watch Jake from afar. One day, Zex snuck into his apartment and found love letters. The love letters consist of heartfelt words and proclamations of love from the first sighting. Zex couldn’t read but eventually he learnt to read to find out what Jake was writing. Zex is a tracker in the show, and that's how he found Ava's apartment first but he was too curious and followed Jake's scent. It was a regular day in the apartment complex, Zex was trailing after the happy purple human. As he was trekking up the stairs, he was greeted by a pair of emerald eyes that mimicked his own. The golden specks captured his attention momentarily catching off guard, stopping him in his tracks. The blonde man stopped before quickly power walking down the stairs. Zex blinked a few times before unbotheredly continuing his hunt for the purple human. The apartment complex was warm, after checking on Ms Oats he headed back to his own apartment when a black haired figure caught his attention causing him to freeze. The Figure looked to be carved by the Gods themselves. He could feel the warmth flooding his face, as he rushed down the stairs, praying to whatever god up there that he would see him again.

Do you have any headcannons for Lady Bish, Zex, and Mirage(the spirit)?

I have a few!

Lady Bish

Is the daughter of a noble

Marriage was not arranged. She's done that all herself

The name "Bish" is their goddess of fortune in battle, and not a substitute for "bitch"

Always has a dagger on her, but keeps it hidden

Always got what she wanted from her parents

Actually likes Zex (platonically) and does care about him a little.

Has always had the highest education she could get

Has killed people and was incredibly sadistic about

Likes having Rhal's scary dog privilege. That's about it.

Figured out Lady Grandma was on to her, but had started manipulating Rhal into thinking she's going senile and paranoid, so any warnings will fall on deaf ears.

Zex

Was in the same child gang as Leif, but neither remember the other. Left during Leif's second year in there.

Lost his eye in a fight when he was stealing from someone's house. It's the worst hit anyone's gotten on him

Was born without magic or horns, and his parents found a way to get a spirit's power into him

They were later executed for practicing dangerous magic

After losing his eye, he was discovered by Lady Bish's family, who mistook him as human and tried to kill him. It wasn't until he killed a guard (with severe blood loss, loss of depth perception, and in horrific pain) and shifted that they decided to bring him in and heal him (LB's idea)

Hence how he and Lady Bish met, and he has dedicated himself to paying back that 'debt', as he likely would have bled out

Very salty about being mistaken as a human

Is the best assassin on Daemos

Uhhh, and I don't have a lot for Mirage. But I do hc that:

She's kind of a childhood pet of Asch and Rhal's (and Rhys)

Was bred for the Royal Family

Is spayed via magic

[incorrectcatfacestudios]

What I think is happening behind the scenes

Rhaul : Being a cuckold is-

Zex: Rhaul shut the fuck up and get the fuck out, I'm gonna fuck your wife now.
