Eternity And Counting
Eternity and counting
Pt 4
(Pt1, Pt2, Pt3)
(Ragggggh!! Actually remembered to post on a Tuesday this time lol.)
Obey me! X Angel!MC (They/Them Pronouns)
TW: Suicide, depression, self-deprecation, death, big feelings, lots of sad.
MC just can't handle anything anymore and takes their own life. Imagine their dismay to find even death isn't the end for them.
~/\~
I catch a whiff of fresh lilies as I continue to the castle. Curious. The castle has always smelled like roses. They were never Lord Diavolo's favorite, but they reminded him of his mother. But the closer I get, the stronger the smell, until it finally comes into view. Bushes and vines covered top to bottom in every species of lily I've ever seen in the human realm run elegantly up the walkway, over the entrance, and across the windowsills. I can't help staring in awe as I approach the front doors, I've never seen the entryway so decorated, even for Diavolo's parties or festivals. I wonder what the occasion is.
Within thirty seconds of my knuckles connecting with the door, it's opened with a flourish. Barbatos grins that trained grin I learned to detest in my time here. Nobody ever understood how I did it, but I could always tell when Barbatos was simply smiling for his Lord's image and when he was smiling for his own enjoyment. Part of me was always nervous he could see the same in me, but if he ever noticed, he never brought it up.
"Welcome to The Demon Lord's Castle. Please, Come in." He bows, sweeping his arm to welcome me.
"Thank you." I nod, stepping inside the frame and to the side of the door. Before he can even close the door behind me, I'm offering him the paperwork I was tasked with bringing.
"Ah, actually, if you don't mind following me. Lord Diavolo has requested to meet you. When he heard that Michael was sending a new angel, he insisted on meeting you. I'm sure you know the importance of those papers. It is quite unlike Michael to entrust a task of this magnitude to an angel we've never even met." He explains as he leads me down the hall.
I nod. "Of course."
I shouldn't have nodded. Why would I agree to this? It was instinct, I'm sure. Babatos could ask me to follow him straight into wild seas and I would, without a second thought. And now I've agreed to follow him to my own torment.
He moves silently as he leads me upstairs and out onto the balcony. My heart squeezes itself shut as I see Lord Diavolo, leaning over the balcony to admire the flowers below. He doesn't turn to greet us immediately, but something about the sag in his shoulders and the tension in his knees begs me to hold his hand. Soothe his worried thoughts until he has no choice but to sleep it off and start anew the next day. Something must be horribly, horribly wrong with me.
But the feeling is fleeting as he turns to us, standing tall as ever with that cover photo smile.
"Ah! You must be Michael's new angel! He seems quite fond of you." He strides towards us, clasping my hand firmly in his own. "Though, I admit he never gave me your name."
He poses the question so simply, and I have to fight the gut instinct to answer him honestly. But it burns, bitter and angry in my stomach as I summon the name Michael had given me for the sake of my privacy in the Celestial realm.
"Well it's a pleasure to finally meet you." He nods, but his wording gives me pause.
"Finally?"
"Of course! Michael has brought you up nearly every time we've spoken in the last several months." He laughs. God that laugh. I've dreamt of it. It makes me wonder for a brief moment if the cloaking spell expresses my growing blush.
But I disregard the consideration for the thought of Michael and the absolute hell I'd be giving him when I return. He's been plotting this for months, that bastard.
"Well, I'm glad to hear he speaks so highly of me." I bow lightly, presenting the paperwork to him. He takes it quickly, tossing it onto the table next to him.
As I stand back up, I wonder what to do with the sudden silence.
"Well, It's been a pleasure to meet you." I grin, wings flicking quickly. A nervous habit I've picked up since sprouting them.
"Right! I'm sure you have some important business to attend to." He claps his hands together. "Give Michael my best." He turns back to the railing and Barbatos moves to usher me out. But before I go, a question was lingering in my mind. "If I may, why lilies? Michael always tells stories of your grand rose gardens."
The balcony grows cold with the fall of Diavolo's gaze. Something unsettling burrows itself in my skin, burning like ice in my mouth.
"Lilies were MC's favorite." He mumbles. Practically whispers it into the wind.
But the sound reaches me anyway, and despite the gentle tone, it feels like being punched through the chest. "What?" I heard him, he knows I did. And he's right. Lilies are my favorite. Always have been. But I ask the question anyway. Because I simply can't comprehend why that would matter. It's been over a year now, they should have gotten over it. And yet, here he is. Mourning, right in front of me.
Barbatos places a tentative hand on my shoulder, whispering to me. "MC was a dear friend of ours. They... passed, some time ago." There's a pitch in his voice I don't recognize. Regret?
"And so, we maintain the garden, to show to them when they are reborn." Diavolo adds, smiling softly at me over his shoulder.
Something in the view of it all chokes me. Like swallowing a cotton ball.
They're still waiting for me.
Are they all still waiting? Lord Diavolo is one thing, but the brothers? Do they expect me to come home? Do they want me to? Why would they want that? After all I've done.
Before I can even consider it, I feel the familiar warm slip of tears down my cheek. Emotions I haven't grappled with in some time burn in my throat, clawing at my vocal cords and squeezing my airway shut. I hate this. I hate this feeling so much my hands shake with it. I never should have come here. It's selfish to say, but I could have gone on not knowing this. Had I stayed in the Celestial realm, I could have gone on for eternity, selfishly unaware that I was still wanted.
I swipe pathetically at my tears, wings flicking as I straighten my posture. "I'm, uh, terribly sorry for your loss." It's barely above a whisper but I know they can hear it. "But I... I should be getting back now."
They can tell something is wrong, of course they can. But rather than stick around for questions, I take off, sprinting through the halls of the castle and out through the front door.
I'm running on instinct as I navigate the streets of the city. I don't remember where I'm going, all I know is I need to get there fast. I should just return to the courtyard and wait for Michael to send the portal back to get me. But something in the idea of going back to the celestial realm brings bile to my throat.
So I follow my subconscious blindly, feet slamming against pavement and heart nearly shaking with the effort of it all until I come to an abrupt stop. My eyes, bleary as they are, recognize the sight before me like I had last seen it yesterday. The House of Lamentation looms over me, glass eyes challenging me from within the gate. The elegant iron rods of the gate twist around themselves and each other like a den of snakes. And I feel the same warm comfort from them as I always have. I pointed out the striking serpentine similarities between this gate and himself to Levi once. He was offended at first, but was quickly struck dumb when I pointed out how much I liked snakes.
The urge to press the gate open burns like fire in my hand, but I know that if I do, I won't be able to go back. There's no way I'd leave on my own once granting myself entry, and there's no explanation for my presence if I'm caught.
But if I turn around now, I will never come back. Damned if I do, damned if I don't.
(UGHHHH I hope y'all are still enjoying!! As always, comment if you'd like to be added to the taglist)

I headcannon that devildom days are actually equivalent to two human world days so when MC gets there they just end up passing out randomly in the middle of the day till they eventually figure it out
Like you’ll be just casually playing on your phone in the living room when you start to get tired. You think it’s odd since technically it’s only midday. Until a few hours later your so tired you can barely get up so you just fall asleep.
Especially when it’s early in your stay into the devildom and it’s probably not safe to just fall asleep wherever you are in the middle of the day.
So you decide it’s just gonna be a scheduled nap time, so you have energy for the rest of the day.
I think the brothers would only figure out that you fall asleep in the middle of the day when they drag you with them somewhere.
Like if Mammon and Asmo decide to go to the mall after RAD. You know it’s during nap time but you go anyway. Until three hours later you’re so tired you can see it in your face. Mammon notices something’s wrong and asks you about it. You of course say you’re tired and that is usually nap time for you. Then something just clicks.
Mammons spent a lot of time in the human word, he knows how it’s different from his home. He knows human days are half as long as devildom days.
He obviously cuts the trip short and brings you back home, knowing Lucifer will chew him out if he kept you out any longer like that.
From that point on he let you sleep in his room so that your sleep schedule doesn’t get too messed up. Especially since you can’t just constantly stay up for two days straight. Of course he’d also let you sleep in your room if you wanted. And he would make sure to keep his brothers away (though he’s gonna deny it. The great mammon doesn’t care for humans! But he cares for this one)
Eventually the rest of the brothers find out once you start getting closer. Although he won’t admit it Lucifer is a little ashamed he forgot that humans need more sleep. Mostly since Solomon, aka the only other human, is already used to devildom days and can stay up for long periods of time.
Eventually you just start sneaking into their rooms when they’re gone and you need your midday nap. They probably don’t even notice you’re going into their rooms until one of them catches you asleep.
Don’t even get me started about Belphie😭 he would eat that up.
After you get close he’s definitely going to sleep with you. He would probably be a jerk about it too. Though don’t threaten him by saying you won’t nap with him, he will throw a fit till he gets what he wants.
Though with Belphie you’ll probably end up sleeping longer than intended. What would normally be a 6 hour nap to get you through the rest of the day could easily turn into 14 hours with Belphie.
Maybe it’s not entirely his fault though, his bed is the most comfortable (both the attic one and the one in his room) and he does naturally keep nightmares away.

PLAGIARIST ALERT: FANDOMS GALORE
PLEASE SHARE
On 6/21/2023, it was brought to my attention that @fandoms-forever-united and @fandomsgalore-backup took my Bakugou nightmare stories and used them in a YouTube video without permission. I kindly messaged them and asked them to remove the video.
I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt because they did credit me (wayyyyyyy down at the bottom of the YouTube description with several blank spaces but ya know…). BUT CREDIT DOES NOT EQUAL PERMISSION.
They said they would. They did not. They privated it. When I called them out on this and asked them to please delete the video, they ignored me and PUT IT BACK UP. So I put in a request to YouTube to copyright strike it, and let them know I would be going through ALL their videos and alerting all the writers who worked they used without permission which was A LOT.
Unfortunately, tumblr saw how many messages I was sending and locked down my inbox and askbox. I have since put in a support ticket but this blog is still mostly on lockdown and I cannot get to those messages nor can the folks who I messaged see them.
While I was doing this, Fandoms Galore was making videos whining about how they're somehow a victim in all this and that they are making back up accounts in case they lose their channel/blog.
Their comments are full of sympathizers who don’t believe they did anything wrong and think that I am going after a small creator who is just enjoying my work. This is not a witch hunt; this is Fandoms Galore paying the price of a lesson that could have been resolved by deleting the videos of work that WAS NOT THEIRS AND THEY DID NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO USE.
But this is not the first time they have done this and it was not "a couple of years ago" either. They plagiarized work as early as this January that we could find. My work that was used in a video was 7 months ago. I didn’t even get to my own video before tumblr locked my blog down so several videos were made using work WITHOUT PERMISSION prior to 7 months ago.
I come baring receipts that they have had their account taken before on tumblr for PLAGIARISM. We have a repeat offender y'all. They are only going to keep making accounts and chasing clout off the backs of other writers.
They are still "in the process" of "deleting" videos. I believe Fandoms Galore is saving all these videos to be reposted on a new channel if any copyright strikes make it through in time. They have built a following off the backs of other people and are mad that they were found out. Don't let them keep taking our hard work and profiting off of it.
Some of the known people they have stolen from:
@kweenkatsuki, @vampyrsm, @citrus-simp (will update once my account is not longer locked down)
PLEASE CHECK THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND THE BLOG FOR YOUR WORK. AND BLOCK THE NEW BLOGS THEY MAKE SO THEY CANNOT USE YOUR WORK FOR THEIR OWN GAIN.
oh i KNOW schlatt
gnaws at the bars of my enclosure here's some sally face headcanons because i'm so normal trust!!
----
sal fisher
-probably had gums or mints on him constantly, he has to constantly smell his breath in his mask so he keeps it fresh as much as he can.
-has definitely used sharpie on his nails before, stopped after ashley got him nail polish for his birthday one year and hasn't gone back.
-sal is so definitely a scab picker, larry probably yells at him when he catches him picking at scabs when they hang out, he's looking out for his friend and doesn't want it to become a bad habit.
-sal has a few extra face masks his friends designed individually for him, some of them just being painted on or sculpted, one of them was just covered in stickers, he loves all of them and has them up in his room.
-has caught his own cat playing with his fake eye more than once when he couldn't find it in the morning, those mornings it did happen he would have to wash it off before soaking it in solution for a while, sometimes going to school without it, after the second time, he got replacement eyes for when that happened.
-tried an edible once with larry and freaked the fuck out and hasn't tried them since, larry still feels bad seeing him in that state (larry had to babysit him that night)
----
larry johnson
-i can't decide whether he bites his nails or he has long healthy nails and clips them weekly, they both work🤷♀️
-has almost shit himself at one of the sleepovers where sal slept with his mask off, he turned over as he woke up taking a moment to remember who was next to him since he's used to seeing his mask 😭
-always wanted a cat growing up but his mother was super allergic so whenever he's at sal's he's loving up on gizmo and ofc gizmo loves the attention.
-he loves being a canvas for ashley's makeup practice not to mention the cursed pictures they have gotten while the makeup process happened.
-he wanted to learn guitar but did not have a single musical bone in his body to actually play instruments, so sal started learning guitar for him (larry is so tone deaf it's so funny when he tries singing along to ashley's music which consists of musical soundtracks).
-he's such a pin and bottle cap collector, he has jars of them, ashley and maple also got him into tiny living and started collecting small furniture and little things.
----
what characters or specific head canons would you like to see next?!
larry johnson hcs!!!
- we alllll know this man smoke a hella lot of ouid
- i feel like he'd drink but more so during holidays like christmas or new years. esp halloween
- he seems the type to wear super baggy clothes yk like nu metal inspired fashion
- ALSO he would wear a bunch of bracelets specifically a spiked cuff and prolly some friendship bracelets the group made for eachother
- he needs music 24/7 otherwise he cannot focus or do shit 😭
- honestly i see him as a good cook, especially when he's baked
- like he'll make such interesting recipes that somehow work together
- he def makes sal and his mom try, sometimes ash and todd if they come over
- when he's stressed he fosho smokes in his treehouse with music blasting and drawing in his sketchbook
- he's always laid back, he sometimes has a temper but that's only if he's stressed or if u genuinely pissed him off
- he obviously looks more like mom but i feel like he has his dad's personality, i mean his dad used to take him to concerts and i feel like his dad also taught him how to paint and draw
- he started growing out his stache in senior year of hs, one day he just got lazy to shave so he just didn't bother and he actually liked how it looked
- his plug is obviously todd's parents, he was probably curious and went to them for support😭
- after that megan incident with sal he literally was so scared to come out of his room for the night to go to the bathroom
- he was so scared he'd find a dead person's ghost chilling in the bathtub
- he def punched the curtain for the bathtub to make sure no demons or ghosts were back there
- this is his playlist for sure
anyways thats all i could think offfff
i could do sal next :3 watch out for that!!
This is why "eat the rich" is not a violent statement. Rich people literally kill others for their own profits. Any violence against rich people who do this is self defense.
This is also one of the many reasons why there are zero good cops. The nicest cop in existence would arrest someone for stealing to survive but would not arrest these greedy employers for killing for profit.
WAIT. Wait wait WAIT.
poltergeists:
push things off tables
break delicate objects for fun
in general just enjoy moving and destroying stuff for pleasure I guess
make loud disturbing noises in the middle of the night
sometimes poke or bite people, depending on the myth
are invisible aka no one knows what they look like
poltergeists are just the ghosts of rambunctious housecats
Please fetishize our age/experience gap, Husk, call me baby and tease me for how inexperienced I am with sex and kink, please, it's okay, I'll call you daddy and you're allowed to get a boner when I do, it's hot
I meant it when I said I’d be a complete menace 🤭
