Hey! I was writing a demon x human story, but I have zero ideas for scenes every now and then, like how they meet, what they do together etc. Could you help me with a few dialogues or such to slip in? It would be a huge help! I'm a huge fan of your blog btw ;)

Thank you!

So some ways they can meet:

-The human accidentally summoning the demon (this is a classic. Ya know they're joking around with friends or reading some ancient text for their studies etc.)

-The demon is summoned by a friend/family member or loved one and tasked with protecting them

-The demon is haunting someone they know/a place they go to frequently and for some reason they're the only one that can see it

-They got possessed by the demon but for whatever reason the demon jumped right back out of their body and has decided to just haunt them/follow them around instead

-They picked up an item from a garage sell/thrift shop or given it as a gift from someone that has the demon attached to it

Some things they could do together:

-The demon could help the human with ancient/foreign language or history classes

-Teaching the human magic

-Playing pranks together on people using demon magic for fun

-Visiting places that might be happy nostalgic to the demon like a museum or a historical site

-The human catching the demon up on anything they missed in history and modern day culture with like documentaries and t.v shows

-Watching shows/movies that take place in the time period the demon is from so they can complain about the inaccuracies

-Introducing the demon to very modern things like junk food, cars, roller coasters, etc

-The demon making ancient, long lost recipes for their human friend to try

-Reading or retelling classic/ancient stories and novels and reminiscing

That's all I've got at the moment. I hope you enjoy them :)

Here are my Dungeon meshi stickers! I basically thought "hey. lots of people will have cute food themed stickers. And that good and well, but I want that serious stuff too!" So I decided to make a series for the main gang based on sense of self instead!

to me in a modern au, falin and laios grow up in a tiny little country town, one of backwater areas where everyone knows everyone. their dads definitely the town preacher or something. half the food they eat is deer patties and rabbit stew from the game their dad caught. falin comes out to their parents for the first time when shes younger. their mom says she accepts her but openly complains about wanting grandkids one day and it makes falin sad but she doesnt comment on it. laios never once came out to their parents, but he and falin talked about it for hours after she came out and it opened up a little box that had been taped firmly shut in his brain. falin did not go to the hospital for falling and busting open her chin, which bothers laios to think about but falin only remembers how many popsicles their parents let her eat while she healed. falin and laios can both run on sharp gravel barefoot, from years of practice. falin used to feed stray cats and would hide them in their treehouse. do you understand my vision

How to create an atmosphere: Train Station

Sight

people patiently waiting for their trains, lost in their phones

passengers running down the platform to catch their train

someone struggling with all their baggage

small children running around

people waiting for their loved ones

a sad, but sweet goodbye

an excited and happy hello

people drinking and eating on the platform, waiting for their trains to arrive

people getting confused at the ticket vending machines

passengers waiting in line at the service desk to complain or to find a new route

people routinely checking the time and arrival of their delayed trains

Hearing

passenger trains arriving and leaving the station

the beeping of the doors opening and closing

the whistling of the conductor when the train is about to leave

a freight train speeding through the station, making it impossible to hear anything else at all

announcements of trains arriving, being late or being redirected to another platform

announcements about being careful to not let their baggage unsupervised and to only smoke in designated areas

pigeons flying around

passengers running down the platform, screaming for the train to wait for them

Touch

the stickiness of the floor

the gush of wind when a train drives through

Smell

that specific smell of every train station, that can't be pinpointed

the smell of fresh pastry from the bakeries inside the station

the smell of fast food and old oil

the smell of pigeons living inside the train station

that specific smell of train tunnels

the smell of cigarette smoke coming from the designated smoking area

Taste

stale air on the roofed platform

overpriced coffee or tea to go

sweet kiss goodbye

Hello, would you be able to post tips on how to start a pirate au? This is my first time making one.

【 Hi! My tip for any au (or any story, really) is simply research. It’s important to understand the dynamics and realism. So I put together some pirate knowledge for you! I’ll probably make more posts on this soon. I’m thinking pirate terms, ship terms, common weapons, things like that. If you’d be interested, let me know. Hope this helps, and good luck on your story (: 】

The Pirate Life

warnings: violence

✶

↳ Drinks

⇝ portable drinking water was hard to come by so many ships carried an abundance of wine, beer, and rum

⇝ a famous mariner drink is grog (sugar-water, lime juice, and rum) which was known to prevent scurvy

⇝ another is bombo/bumboo (sugar-water, nutmeg, and rum) or rumfustian (water, raw eggs, sherry, gin, beer)

↳ Eye Patches

⇝ not only worn because someone lost an eye

⇝ worn to keep one eye adjusted to darkness

⇝ when fighting/raiding below deck they could switch the eye patch instead of waiting for vision to adjust

↳ Flags

⇝ not all pirate flags were black with a skull and crossbones

⇝ most pirate flags were plainly black or red (completely red flags were known as the most aggressive)

⇝ if there were designs, many adorned hourglasses to represent the inevitability of death

↳ Freetime

⇝ when not working, pirates often played cards or dice (although, gambling was against the rules on some ships), sang, danced, partied, etc.

⇝ stopping at ports was a fairly regular occurrence so they could take a break from the harsh sea to sell goods, repair the ship, and of course find women

↳ Life of Crime

⇝ sure, some people became pirates for the life of crime, but the overwhelming majority were simply sailors who abandoned their jobs due to horrendous working conditions

⇝ pirates were treated far better by their captains than navy men

⇝ there were even periods of time where pirating wasn’t illegal — governments would enlist pirates during wartime to plunder enemy ships. these pirates were labeled ‘privateers’ and legally allowed to operate under ‘letters of marque’ which basically made them military contractors

↳ Longevity

⇝ pirate careers were a few years long tops (even the famous blackbeard only lasted two years)

⇝ many were killed or injured especially because medical facilities were practically nonexistent

↳ Positions

⇝ well-run ships had a clear division of labor

⇝ positions included captain, quartermaster, boatswain, carpenter, cooper, gunner, navigator, etc.

⇝ the captain had absolute command during battle and chose where/when to go somewhere

⇝ the quartermaster oversaw ship operations and divided the loot

⇝ pirates were not as chaotic as media portrays — they were actually quite democratic

⇝ but the illusion of being brutal would be beneficial for plundering as the possibility of surrender was increased

⇝ most pirates were illiterate, but there were quite a few who actually came from higher social classes

↳ Raids

⇝ looting gold/silver was much less common than looting supplies (food, drink, candles, navigational tools, repairing equipment, medicine, etc.)

⇝ most pirates didn’t want to kill people — they would steal the goods and leave the crew (or let the crew join them) especially because the bounties weren’t usually worth it

↳ Rules

⇝ most pirate ships took their rules very seriously, with punishments being severe

⇝ common rules were against lying, stealing amongst themselves, fighting on board, gambling, etc.

⇝ walking the plank was not a common punishment (it actually rarely ever happened) — punishments were usually flogging, dunking, tying to the mast, hanging, marooning, or keelhauling

Famous Pirates to Check Out for Motivation: Stede Bonnet, Anne Bonny, Francis Drake, Calico Jack, William Kidd, Henry Morgan, Mary Read, Bartholomew Roberts, Edward Teach (Blackbeard)

i saw someone critiquing the fact that Kathleen has a very soft voice but i love it. a soft spoken woman is not a harmless woman.

The opposite of a mansion murder mystery where everyone present is a bounty hunter who really wants to take credit for the murder and the detective has to find out who really did it

ignoring how emotionally devastating the episode was I love how once joel accepted he was a Dad again he went from reluctant father figure to full blown dad mode. did not hold back. found ellie’s favorite food and a board game for them to play. took her to the zoo (the giraffe feeding scene). asked her if she was ok in the most gentle way possible. told her stories about sarah. compared her to sarah bc they’re both his daughters. told ellie how proud he was of her / how much he cared for her. opened up. said “we’re going home”. murdered dozens of people for her. brought her on a hike. you know. normal dad stuff 

the "you're cargo" to "it's okay, babygirl" to "it wasn't time that did it" pipeline goes so fucking crazy bro

mfw this man who is capable of unimaginable violence and anger and destruction fulfils his life's purpose as some teenage girl's lame dad

So a ton of these God x follower ships tap into the need to be worshiped. Not just shipping, but also platonic relationships too.

But what about the need to be needed? That urge from the follower and the pride they have that some giant strong entitiy needs their help?

What about those quiet moments when they're still figuring things out, the moral or lower falling in love, and in return learning this giant in their eyes needs them?

That relationship of back and forth?

What about the woman who follows and learns her patron God has been longing to be needed by someone and is showering her in all these blessings because they had no one who would ask until now?

The man who's desire to be required, for someone to be unable to do something without him because he just didn't want to be alone anymore, is fulfilled as a prophet for this God?

How about the child who was never wanted by their parents and now there's a demigod who desperately needs someone's help? And the child is able to be loved and needed by someone so strong?

Where are those moments of need?

seductive fallen angel x shy human?

Ooo this is a great dynamic. A is the fallen angel and B is the human. Let me know if you want more.

Seductive Fallen Angel x Shy Human Prompts

Prompts

B has had no luck with dating, so A claims that it’s their purpose to get B a partner and they teach B how to flirt.

Now that A is on earth, they’re partying and enjoying all of life’s luxuries. But wherever they go, they catch glimpses of B: reading at a bus stop, carrying a comically large plant in a tiny bag, mixing three different sugars into their coffee. A becomes enamoured with B and sets out to find who they are.

A lost all their angel abilities when they fell, but doesn’t have the heart to tell B that so they learn slight-of-hand magic tricks.

Oneliners

“Did it hurt when I fell from heaven?” “That’s . . . that’s not how that line works”

“I’m just trying to give you a taste of heaven”

“You’re always trying to get me to live large and seize the day, but have you ever tried slowing down and just savouring the moment?”

“When I fell, I lost my purpose. But since I found you, it’s like I found it again”

“Did . . . did you just call me ‘angel’? As like a pet name?”
