hiiii, love! how about a lil kitchen-domestic moment between ellie and reader where they’re trying out a new recipe. the catch is that they’re failing miserably at actually making the dish because they keep getting distracted by each other (dancing, laughing, making jokes, teasing each other, anything). mkay bye thank you sm MWAH 😙♥️
is this thing on? 🎤
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ellie is a pest in the kitchen
a/n changed this up a little bc i feel like ellie being annoying in the kitchen while u cook or bake is canon
Tumblr media
“no els, it was 1 cup of sugar!” you quickly swatted your girlfriend’s hand away, making sure she didn’t ruin all the hard work from the afternoon.
when maria told you about her plans to throw tommy a little surprise party for his birthday, you immediately took it upon yourself to take care of some baked goods. thursdays meant free afternoons for you, free of any chores, which gave you some time to get to work on one of your favorite desserts of all time; red velvet cake.
either there was a catch; thursdays didn’t only mean free afternoons for you, but also for your girlfriend, and the two of you rarely spent any of that precious, free time not together. so when you told ellie that you were gonna spend your afternoon in the kitchen, baking a cheesecake for tommy’s birthday, there was no way she wasn’t going to be right on your tail.
you thought it could be fun, baking with her. although you had tried many times to get her to help you in the kitchen with anything, it wasn’t really her cup of tea. but the idea of you working away on a delicious, sweet red velvet cake, and her missing the chance to steal some every now and then, must’ve convinced her to be your right hand that day.
“hmm- ‘m sorry, baby. i thought it was 2 cups.” she gave you a sheepish smile, before putting down the cup and cleaning up the sugar that spilled on the counter when you swatted her hand away earlier. you got back to work on the cake, looking back at the recipe every now and then to make sure you got the right ingredients and measurements, you really didn’t want to mess this one up.
you thought, after her little moment with the sugar, she would retreat herself back in the living room, but none of that. a couple moments went by before you felt a pair of slender arms circling your waist, swaying the both of you to the background music that was playing in the kitchen. “can’t you take a break, baby? you’ve been working so hard this afternoon. need’ya to get some rest too, hmm?” you leaned your head back against her chest, rethinking her words. it had been a couple hours, and ellie was probably right, but you couldn’t really take a break right now. not when tommy’s birthday party was in less than 24 hours, and you wouldn’t have much time to finish it tomorrow.
“i can’t, baby. just give me another hour or so, okay? i promise i’ll be all yours then.” ellie didn’t reply, but she nuzzled her face in the crook of your neck, definitely not planning on leaving anytime soon. her current position meant that whenever you tried to move around the kitchen, you’d have her body to carry around with you. it was normal for ellie to get this clingy on your day off. throughout the other days of the week you both got quite busy, whether it was patrol or any other tasks in jackson, you were both very often first in line, always eager to help out the community. that meant you often went a whole day without seeing each other, ellie out the door before you got up and your girlfriend already sleeping after a long day from patrol, before you come back from cleaning the stables.
before you could swat her hand away, she dipped her index finger in the sugary batter that was slowly but surely coming together, and swiped it off on the tip of your nose. “ellieee, c’mon baby. gosh you’re so annoying.” you wiped the batter of your nose, before she repeated her action, over and over again all over your face.
“williams, you better stop, before there’s not any batter left for the cake.”
“oh, are we on last name level now?”
“if you keep being such a pain in the ass we will be, yes!”
she tried her luck one more time, flicking some of the sugary delicacy onto your neck. before you could scold her for wasting more of it, she shut you up by lowering her head to your neck and licking it off. you whimpered lowly, slightly taken aback by your girlfriend’s actions.
“not so annoyed anymore now, are we?” ellie pulled her head out of your neck and looked at you with a smug smile, clearly proud of what she just did. you tried to turn around in her embrace but failed, her strong arms picking you up and putting you on the counter, hungrily kissing you.
“it’s only 4pm, we’ve got some time to finish this cake tonight. i bet you taste more sweet anyway.”

Could I request Pjsk boys' reactions to their s/o bringing them gorgeous desserts they made for them?
i wish i could make gorgeous desserts but i make pretty good chocolate chip cookies so thats a win
☆~Pjsk boys when their s/o brings them gorgeous desserts
(wa)batle nonsense (author's note):
i was sitting like L from death note while i wrote this
warnings: none/all fluff

☆~Akito Shinonome
He probably won’t admit it, but he gets really happy because he knows you put a lot of effort into making this
And he finds them to be the most delicious thing he’s ever tasted too
And if you make him pancakes or cheesecake he will propose to you on the spot
He gets jealous if you give someone else something and not him
I think he would also like to bake with you because then he can feel accomplished when he eats whatever you two made
“More desserts? Geez, let me bake them with you sometime, baby!”
Tumblr media
☆~Rui Kamishiro
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, he finds it so cute
He tells you that your desserts taste like heaven and that you should be very proud of what you made
He likes to make robots to help you bake
Idk why, but i feel like he loves to watch you at work
I could imagine him finding you recipes online and asking you to throw your own fun twist in it just because he wants something special
“Thank you. I’m sure they will taste heavenly as usual, dear.”
Tumblr media
☆~Tsukasa Tenma
YOU CAN BAKE?!?!?! AND THEY’RE DELICIOUS?!?!?! no.
you have to include him
you have to let him bake with you so he can learn how to make something just as delicious
YOU HAVE TO
But in all seriousness OMG HE IS SO HAPPY
Every time you bake him something he is legit walking on air
And he wants to learn from you because you’re so incredible
Make him star shaped cookies PLEASE
“Of course my co-star is capable of making something this tongue-shatteringly delicious!”
Tumblr media
☆~Toya Aoyagi
please please please teach him we do not need him ending people’s lives with his cupcakes
I think he’s kind of like a food critic but he’s incapable of saying anything bad
He’ll be really shy about it but he’ll ask you to make something for him
He’ll also ask to make something with you kind of like Akito
Toya loves it if you show up to his practice to walk home with him and you have some kind of sweet treat with you because it means he gets to spend time with you
He probably loves your desserts not because they’re good (which they are), but to spend time with you
this applies to everyone

Jackunzel February Special Week 1 - Spring Lingering Chills
After a very strange winter, Jack and Rapunzel are more than happy to see pastel buds on the trees.
Spring has sprung, and that means beautiful blooms, sunny picnics, verbena and candytuft weaved into braids, lying in wildflower meadows with a book in hand, and days finally warm enough to take an easel outside. Rapunzel gets straight to work planning an activity itinerary for her and her boyfriend, excited to see the neighborhood come to life again.
It’s a welcome distraction from Jack’s January hair-bleaching disaster. Rapunzel did tell him not to order white hair dye from some sketchy, off-brand Arctic Fox company, but Jack always preferred to veer on the wild side.
The moment her boyfriend walked into school with fluffy, cloud-white locks, Rapunzel could tell more than just his hair color had changed. His hand was a little colder when she held it in the hallways. Sometimes when she woke up in his bed after a night of cuddling, the tips of her hair were iced over.
She doesn’t think Jack is an “ice zombie” of sorts. He still has a beating heart and functioning lungs. Also a working digestive system, if the copious amount of pastries he can devour in one setting without consequence are anything to go by.
Nonetheless, they keep Jack’s new “talent” their little secret. No need to get the press knocking down Jack’s door, or teachers and classmates alike avoiding the “freak.”
But it comes in handy that season. Jack can make ice cubes for Rapunzel’s boba--in the exact shape of the butterflies drifting by them in the park, no less. And they’re never in any danger of their picnics going bad--certain resources always keep their mini cheesecakes, strawberries, soda, and fancy cheese wheels (which Jack insists give an automatic +4 to culture and class when consumed) cold.
And, of course, no one’s going to notice if it takes just a little longer for the snow to melt on their street.
***
...welp. This was meant to just be a fun little springtime drabble and then it decided to take an unexpected magic realism/urban fantasy spin XD Modern AU Regular Guy Jack has snow powers now, but they’re chill (no pun intended). Like he’s just vibin and tryna go on picnics with his girlfriend and take nice little nature walks for his health. He can make ice sometimes, but it’s no big deal! Let’s hope the government doesn’t come for him to try and use his abilities as a combat weapon! :D
YOOO LAST SPRING MOODBOARD BUT IT’S A BANGER
...at least I think XD
I’m just been wanting to use that pink-drink-with-butterfly-ice-cubes picture forever tbh lol. ALSO while (as so often happens) looking for OTHER moodboard pics, I stumbled across a pic with a white-haired dude lying in a flower field??? Literally made for this prompt wtf???
And of course!!! The flower meadow painting had to be used for at LEAST one of the spring prompts or that would be illegal. The moodboard police would come for me because that would be an insult to #aesthetics everywhere to leave it out XD Also a jacaranda cameo again because I gotta. I just gotta.
It’s always hard to choose a picnic pic for these things btw because they’re all so pretty and delicious??? I get a pretty aesthetic but at what cost??? My own hunger??? Unacceptable. I must eat a croissant and a strawberry cheesecake post haste.
As always, pic credits available upon request!

what are ur fav foods or restaurants that are gluten free?
Aha! A tricky one! I will endeavor to provide a good answer!
So, disclaimer: I also have IBS, which complicates the tummy question, and I also have severe anxiety, so I’ve refused to go to or eat at many restaurants with my family since being diagnosed. This will be a short list, but I highly encourage you to do some research in your own areas and to either get comfortable asking people working in restaurants questions or have someone do it for you. YOU MUST LET THE RESTAURANTS KNOW YOUR CONDITION IF YOU HAVE CELIAC OR ARE GLUTEN SENSITIVE. And realize that most people still don’t understand what you mean when you say you have celiac disease or even a gluten intolerance. But they will understand wheat allergy, especially if you start listing common examples (buns, breading, gravy, etc). Don’t rely on “oh but it’s fruit, why would fruit be a problem?” Because sometimes you find yourself in a Cracker Barrel asking a waitress who has to go ask her manager and the manager will frankly tell you that there’s so much flour flying around back there that if you have any kind of gluten problem, this place is not safe for you. Incidentally, Cracker Barrel is not on my list of safe restaurants, but it is on my list of places to play a fun peg jump game.
Sit-down restaurants, I very much enjoy Cheesecake Factory’s mashed potatoes, and some of their burgers come with a gluten free bun that’s pretty good. Olive Garden has gluten free pasta and tomato sauce, but if tomatoes aren’t your thing, they will absolutely just coat them in butter (and add grilled chicken if you want, and they do scrape and clean the grills). There’s also quite a few local sit down places that I’ve had success with, so, again: research what is in your area! There’s actually a whole gluten free bakery and bistro in my area that isn’t exactly easy for everyday eating but great for a sometimes treat. And I just found a local Italian place that does a delicious chicken Alfredo that didn’t make me sick! Local restaurants can be such treasures, friends.
Quick service joints, by far my favorite is Five Guys Burgers and Fries. They already cook their burgers and buns on separate grills; all you need to do is tell them about your allergy, and they’ll flag it for their people to change gloves when handling your food. Freddy’s Frozen Custard and Steakburgers has a grilling process where they flip their burgers onto a separate grill to cook the second side where the buns also go, but if you tell them, they will keep it on the meat-only grill; their fries are made in the same fryer as onion rings and therefore not safe. Chicken Salad Chick is a pretty good one so long as you pay attention to the chicken salad ingredients and ask for the Quick Chicks, which are individually packed. LawLer’s BBQ is really good; my sister in law gets the loaded baked potato without cheese, but I think I’ve gotten it before with cheese since I got sick and been fine? I don’t remember, but be safe and maybe skip the cheese, since anti-caking agents in shredded cheese is a sneaky place for gluten to hide and few restaurant workers will even know to check that.
Fast food, there are so few options for actual meals. Wendy’s Frosty is good, but not a complete dinner; I think their baked potatoes and chili might also be safe but I’m not a fan. Some salads are okay (check the dressing always), and many fries are okay (NOT MCDONALDS, THEIR FRIES ARE NOT GLUTEN FREE THANKS TO GLUTEN IN THE BEEF FLAVORING THEY ADD AND ALSO NOT DEDICATED FRYERS), but in my area, the safest place to get a fast, tasty meal is Chick-fil-A. They have dedicated fryers for their fries, and dedicated grills for their grilled nuggets, and they have managers and in some locations allergy specialists on site to make sure your food is made and handled carefully. I’ve never gotten sick from eating it. The moral implications are less than stellar, but. It is what it is. They’re the only place I can eat. And sometimes, I don’t have the time to run home and cook myself a meal before keeping other plans.
I can’t cite my sources here; I spend a lot of time googling and looking up menus and asking questions. Please do your own research and figure out for yourself what is near you that you can have and what you like. It’s a hard thing to live with. Good luck, friend!

The entire apartment smelled of Caleb’s next masterpiece of stress baking: Cheesecake-stuffed Pumpkin Bread. The recipe he found online promised you’d be the talk of the town with it, and he planned on being the talk of the agency at least~ If only Anders could participate, but Caleb knew he’d have to heal for a while still. That plus the physical therapy afterwards to make sure the scar didn’t restrict any movement.. it was a whole ordeal Caleb had no idea about! The worst kind of injury he ever had was a cut above his eye, but it didn’t blind him and he had to relearn to see or anything! 
“Cream cheese... where’d I put the cream cheese...”
He had soft music playing off his bluetooth record speaker he was swaying to as he mixed the batter and swayed a little. He added the cream cheese and began to beat it in, grunting because the cream cheese was a little too cold and hadn’t softened enough. He was cussing when he heard a knock at his door. He wasn’t expecting anyone, and for a split second a fear rose into his throat. But then he remembered that Anders had got the bad guys. The big ring at least. He could relax a little! Probably Jehovah's Witnesses or something. The look religious people gave him whenever he answered the door was priceless. Well, might as well answer it covered in flour and with sticky dough on his fingers, huh?
“Just a minute~!” he called, sucking off his fingers so he could at least unlock the door and open it. He peered through the peephole and saw... darkness? Was it being blocked? The fear Caleb felt before resurfaced. Who would be blocking the peephole if not someone who didn’t want to be seen? He... didn’t want to open it anymore. He already called out, he can’t pretend like he wasn’t there, dammit... Maybe he could grab something to defend himself with. Caleb glanced behind him, scanning his apartment. Game controller? Too small, can be ripped out of his hands easily.  Wooden spoon that still had pumpkin bread batter on it? Who is he, a heroine in a Hallmark series? He settled on his phone tripod. It was like a bat. He could get a good swing in if he put enough muscle behind it.
Caleb quietly crept up to the door, unlocked it as slowly as he could. He threw the door open with his arm raised, ready to bring the tripod down on his assailant-!
“Caleb-!” A hand reached out and grabbed the tripod before it could hit its mark. That was-! That was... that was Anders’ voice-! Caleb stood dumbfounded, letting the other slowly and calmly lower his hand and take the tripod from it. “What a welcome.. Maybe I shouldn’t try and surprise you that way.” Caleb’s face must have been so red, how embarrassing almost hurting the man that just got out of the hospital! Wait.. Anders was out of the hospital!
“How’s your shoulder? Does it hurt??” Caleb was so worried about Anders’ shoulder he didn’t notice he was holding his hand behind his back. When he did, he blinked. “What’s that? Did you hurt your hand too?”
“Not exactly..” Anders pulled his hand out from behind his back and produced a single red rose. “I saw a woman selling roses as I was coming over. They were beautiful. They’re not pink, but I thought-”
Tumblr media
“It’s beautiful, Felix...~ Thank you...~” 
Anders straightened with his other hand to his cheek. “Ah... M-may I come in? Something smells delicious...” 
Tumblr media
“It’s cheesecake-filled pumpkin bread, and it’s about to go in the oven.. I’m sorry you can’t wait around for three hours since it needs to cool after too...~”
Tumblr media
“Well, I don’t have to officially go back to work until tomorrow...”

And yes. They’re very cute!!! /giggles, taking the cheesecake and taking a bite, my eyes widening at how delicious it is/ Master!! It is delicious!! If they all taste just like this, I don’t think I’ll be able to move for the next days If I eat all of this. I might need to go to the gym to burn them all- /chuckles/
*gently wipes away your tears & kisses your cheeks.*
I'm lucky to have you too kitten.
*smiles as your eyes widen at the taste.* Don't worry about anything like that kitten. I made these for you & I want you to enjoy them. No need to worry about the calorie intake or burning it off. I don't care about anything like that, I love you for who you are.

#Iscream ice cream rolls how to
#Iscream ice cream rolls cracker
#Iscream ice cream rolls full
#Iscream ice cream rolls portable
After adding the broccoli to the sauteed veggies add 1/2 tsp of salt, some black pepper, a dash of cayenne pepper and a dash of ground cloves. The way I make this soup which is really delicious is to use both the florets and the stems - making sure to peel the stems. If you use only the broccoli stems, that's another story. Broccoli florets aren't very good when pureed - they end up being grainy. I can't give this recipe the way it is 5 stars - had to make too many changes. I'm giving the recipe as is a three star rating, but with the addition of what I put in, absolutely 5 and I am considering submitting it to Allrecipe I added about a teaspoon and it was perfect. I let it set for about 15 minutes to meld the flavors and realized it needed more salt. I cooked the roux for about 5 minutes to let it thicken and then mixed with the broccoli and chicken broth. I cooked this mixture for about a minute added 2 cups of milk, and 1 cup of heavy whipping cream. I also increased the amount of butter/flour for the roux and in addition to spicing the chicken broth and broccoli with lemon pepper, onion (dried), garlic powder, onion powder and about 2 tablespoons of chicken base (paste) I spiced the roux with the same measurements that were already in the broccoli base, adding about 1 tablespoon of celery salt. I did change the whole premise of the soup though, because I used 4 cans of chicken broth and 2 one pound packages of broccoli cuts. I find that I use lemon pepper in almost everything, it's an excellent spice and lends itself to almost everything, but particularly to broccoli. It was obvious to me that no one mentioned lemon pepper. It's surprising to me that everyone is/was adding nutmeg to this soup, claiming it was missing something. I added quite a bit of seasoning in addition to what was asked for. I was a bit concerned from the onset that it didn't have enough seasoning in it. After topping with additional whipped cream these Homemade Rolled Ice Creams are ready to steal the show.I read a lot of reviews on this recipe before I made it.
#Iscream ice cream rolls portable
For each flavor I roll 4 to 6 rolls and place them in a portable serving container. Before your eyes the magic happens! Little spirals of ice cream form. What’s incredible is each flavor sets up super fast and from there they’re really easy to roll.įor each flavor I run a thin spatula between the thin layer of ice cream and the chilled tray. Top it off with a whole Oreo Cookie for added effect. Oreo Ice Cream Rolls: Simply crush up Oreo cookies into your ice cream base.
#Iscream ice cream rolls cracker
Top it with a strawberry and graham cracker strips.
Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream Rolls: You’ll love this version featuring diced berries, crushed graham crackers and cream cheese.
Decorate it with a Ferrero Rocher for an extra kick.
Nutella Rolled Ice Cream: Add a bit of Nutella to your ice cream mix before you freeze it for a delicious hazelnut treat.
I created 3 delicious Rolled Ice Cream flavors, but once you have this recipe down I encourage you to get creative and experiment with whatever you like. After mixing together on my cold tray, I got creative and added some of my favorite flavorings. That’s right, the base of this Rolled Ice Cream is just 2 ingredients and even better than that these 2 ingredients are mixed up right on the baking tray they are frozen in. I simply started with my classic No Machine Ice Cream recipe of sweetened condensed milk and cream. It turns out it’s really a lot simpler than you might think. But after just a few tries I had a plan and was able to make these perfect frozen sweet ice cream rolls at home. This is not typically something you would make at home so I knew this would take some experimentation.

The result is a delicious new way to enjoy rich ice cream–it’s no wonder this exotic treat is such a hit! How to Make Homemade Rolled Ice CreamĪfter seeing this Rolled Ice Cream being made I knew I had to give it a try for myself. Rolled Ice Cream, also known as Stir-Fried Ice Cream, is ice cream that is spread thin on a really cold metal surface then scraped up into a perfect spiral. For those of you who have never seen it before it is a MUST try. That said when making no-bake sweet treats, candies and frozen desserts, I really like things that are over the top, fun and different! After coming across the internet sensation Thai Rolled Ice Cream in a local LA spot I was floored by how delicious it was. When it comes to baking, most of the time I stick to Bold visions of the classics and steer clear of novelty.

Happy Birthday Baby!
It goes without saying that today is one of my absolute favourite days because you were born and you’re the love of my life and I am so grateful that you were born on this particular day. I spent a long time thinking about what I could possibly get you that can be a special gift and realized there’s one thing we’ve talked about but I haven’t done yet so…. TADA!
I baked you a new york style cheesecake and I promise it’s edible. (I baked another one and forced my siblings to taste-test it. They’re all still alive and kicking). Anyways I hope you love it and I hope we can make this a new tradition for every birthday.
I love you always,
Tumhari Jhan
It was his birthday and Ben was definitely another year older, but a part of Ben almost didn’t care that it was his birthday. Not because he wasn’t happy about today. No, it just felt like he had everything he could wish for. Days like today were now more about just spending it with those he loved and that included the woman who was about to become his wife: Jhanvi. He read her adorable note as an amused smile played on his lips. He broke off a small piece at the edge, dropping it in his mouth before it could crumble and fall away. Delicious, but that was a given. Anything that came from his Jhanvi was always going to be perfect.

Chapter 1
Main street
/Notification
Cater: Oh? A message on MagiCam? Who would've thought it was that girl! How nostalgic~ The picture those ghosts took at Ramshackle dorm made our college's Halloween event trend -> Jumping onto the bandwagon and posting a lot -> Huge success for Cay's follower-catching strat! So far it's been going well but… Mixed within the comments and DMs of my new followers are a lot of old aquaintances. Even some classmates from middle and elementary school are here.
Cater: "Hey! It's been a while! Oh, would you like to come to our college? Cay welcomes every single one of you! You can always come over to hang at NRC's Halloween event!"
Cater: And now some emoji full of feelings!  (^○^)♪ (ゝω・)☆ d(’v`*)b
Cater: Everyone is really so casual and easygoing~ Well, it's easier on me, so I'm not complaining.
???: HEY!
Cater: Where did that loud and rowdy voice come from? I've got a bad feeling about this…
Front Gate
Sebek: Humans, don't crowd around the young master! Get out! Leave!
Boy A: Hey, what are you doing, sweptback bro! Don't interfere with our Draconia Challenge.
Boy B: We're putting our lives on the line to show our bravery by uploading a picture of us touching The Malleus!
Boy A: Huh, since when did Malleus disappear?! It's that sweptback bro's fault.
Tumblr media
Boy B: Don't be so angry. After all the effort of having a sweptback, let's show the world a huge smile on that face!
Sebek: For humans of your social standing to use the name of the Lord of the esteemed Valley of Thorns in vain…Besides, my hair is swept back like this so I have an unobstructed view to find those like you who behave rudely towards my young master! You shall receive punishment for insulting the Draconia… no, for insulting the young master. My thunder shall shock you all to bits! HAAAAA...
Cater: Okay, stop! I'm part of the Halloween Committee. It's forbidden to fight. Why don't you try talking to this lad if something's up?
Sebek: Don't interrupt me, you frolicking human! I will shock you to bits as well!
Cater: Won't you create a scandal for the Draconia family if you were to harm an ordinary human with magic?
Sebek: W-Well… You're right. Besides, didn't you just say you were part of the Halloween committee? Both the young master and master Lilia are both performing the same duties… They ordered me to listen to the orders of the other committee members. Ok, I shall talk this out.
Cater: Even though you are crossing your arms and puffing your chest out, you are being apologetic right? Anyway, these are our college's precious guests. They have no intention to harm Malleus.
Sebek: These magic-less weaklings were making a spectacle bothering Young Master with a toy. I cannot forgive that!
Cater: Malleus is like super famous, and he's an admirable being, right? So just for this festival, it should be fine to interact with our guests as a little fanservice right?
Sebek: Stop messing around. The young master is a dreadful being who makes everyone kneel and bow down to him. AND THAT'S WHY I WILL NEVER LEAVE HIS SIDE AND PROTECT HIM ALL MY LIFE!
Cater: You're just obsessed!
Tumblr media
Boy A: Hey, interfering our Draconia Challenge aside, what are you two squabbling about?
Sebek: Hm? You humans are still here? I told you to leave.
Boy B: Huh? You've got some nerve, talking rudely to us like that!
Cater: Come on guys. Why don't we take some pictures together since it's finally Halloween! We, Heartslabyul are those who rise from the soil in the darkness, the underlings of the night~
Boy A: Wow! Now that you mention it, you do look real good for the camera!
Cater: Cheer up everyone and gather! Let's decide on a pose~~~ Happy Halloween~
¨*shutter noise*
Cater: (Ugh… This is exhausting)
Chapter 2
Classroom
Kalim/Cater/Lilia: *Sigh*… I'm tired….
Cater: This year's Halloween was exhausting. Mainly due to our guests being rowdy..
Kalim: It was fun entertaining the guests, but I was really troubled because Jamil got in a foul mood.
Lilia: Even we, three most gentle boys, have been worn down. The other students must be at the limits of their patience.
Everyone: *Sigh*…
Cater: Now that you say it, by chance all the members of the light music club are also part of the Halloween Committee. Let's have our usual relaxing tea time while also discussing some countermeasures.
Kalim/Lilia: Agreed~
Cater: I got this! Trey's home-made pumpkin pie! It's moderately sweet, so it's my favorite!
Kalim: I have kunafa. It's a cheesecake from the Scalding Sands. It's delicious when it's hot!
Lilia: Oho, these are all sweets befitting of Halloween. As the last one, I have prepared this. Licorice!
Cater: You're always bringing the same thing! You know me and Kalim don't like that.
Kalim: The smell makes my nose shrivel up~
Cater: But you know, since it's black, it does feel like Halloween. Oh, right, let's take a picture together. It's super charming to be in costume and have themed food.
*shutter noise*
Cater: #TheBestHalloween #SelfmadeCostume #HomemadeTreat #LightMusicClub #NRCHalloween
Kalim: The best? Didn't you say you were exhausted earlier, Cater?
Tumblr media
Cater: I never said it wasn't exciting and for things like SNS, isn't it better to exaggerate a bit?
Lilia: As expected of you. We live in a period where everyone is connected all around the world. It is most wonderful to spread happiness instead of complaints.
Cater: Oh. The picture I just uploaded got an amazing response! 
*notification*
Cater: Another message from that girl. Was she the kind to keep track of people's activities?
*ringing noise*
Cater: This time it's a call. (How persistent…)
Kalim: Cater, is it from one of your friends? You can pick up if you want.
Cater: Hm~… More like an acquaintance from the past? But it's alright? We're at a very important meeting, after all.
Lilia: We are only eating sweets, taking pictures and uploading them to MagiCam though…
Cater: It's the age of social media where everyone can keep in contact at their own pace, you don't have to go through the pains of having to response in real time to a phone call.
Kalim: Do you have that many people who want to get in touch with you? You're so well connected Cater~
Cater: Well, if you look the amount of aquaintances I have, that might be true? My dad's a banker. The bank he works at has branches all over the world. Therefore, whenever he transferred to a different branch, our entire family would move with him. We moved once every two years, so I kind of feel like a pro at quickly packing things?
Lilia: Commonly said, you are a family who moved a lot for the sake of the breadwinner.
Kalim: So the reason why you have so many friends is because you have travelled around the world since young.
Cater: Yeah, the girl just now said we are friends as well. Having to change schools frequently, I got to meet more people compared to someone staying at one place. From the best to the worst… a lot of people. However, they all had something in common.
Kalim/Lilia: …?
Cater: If I left there, they remained there. That's why I'd rather have a casual and happy time with everyone than to deepen a friendship. It’s like a circus troupe, you know, having fun hanging with people all over the world and then leaving. That's why MagiCam is the best! People from my school from three years ago contacted me out of the blue. My social circle is expanding as well. Cay is getting popular!
Kalim: Even if they're far away, you don't have to hold back you know? I got it! I'll lend you my magic carpet, so you can visit your friends whenever you want.
Cater:… I expected no less of you, Kalim. I'll take you up on that offer next time.
Lilia: I feel like I understand you.
Cater: Hm?
Tumblr media
Lilia: The relations between humans are eternal. They are things that cannot be severed. In a new place with no trace of your existence, new relations will continue to be forged. That in itself is nature. However, I think the more precious a relation is, the more lonely it becomes. Why does it feel that way? I have lived a long life but the reason is still unknown to me. But just as Cater said, there may be a perfectly logical explanation for not getting too attached to one person in particular.
Cater: Lilia, what got into you suddenly? What I wanted to say was-
*ringing noise*
Lilia: Hello, this is Lilia speaking? What business do you have?
Cater: He just casually picked up the phone during our conversation.
Lilia: Oh, Sebek. What is it? You are so loud. Right now, I am in a meeting with Cater and Kalim. WHAT?! MALLEUS?!
Kalim/Cater: ?!
Chapter 3
Hall of Mirrors
Silver: Stop pushing. It's forbidden to enter the Hall of Mirrors.
Man A: Huh, really! I came all the way to the Isle of Sages to see Malleus Draconia.
Man B: We are doing the Draconia challenge now! Why can't we enter~
Girl C: He’s inside right! An actual Draconia, the Actual Malleus!
Everyone: MALLEUS! MALLEUS! MALLEUS!
*Lightning and thunder*
Silver: It's a rare event that Master Malleus is participating in. He also agreed to interact with the guests... For it to come to this... Everyone, it’s better if you leave. You have angered master Malleus.
Man A: I paid a lot of travel expenses, did you know that? This is the price of fame.
Everyone: MALLEUS! MALLEUS! MALLEUS!
Exterior Hallway
Cater: Did the visitors who wanted that  MagiCam glory end up angering even Malleus himself?
Sebek: Yes. At first he was gentle and calmed me down when I got angry… but a fool grabbed Malleus by the horns and made fun of him by saying "Look! It's a bicycle from the olden days!"
Lilia/Cater: Gh!
Cater: I don't know if they're brave or just reckless. Were the dark clouds and thunder rampaging in the sky above the Hall of Mirrors due to Malleus' anger? You don't think he overblotted, right…?!
Lilia: Do not worry. Using that amount of magic power shall not make him overblot. He is simply irritated. Back when he was young, mountains would be destroyed by his lightning whenever he threw a tantrum.
Cater: Hahaha… that's on a totally different level. I guess it was a good idea to have Kalim fetch the professors.
Tumblr media
Sebek: Upperclassman Vil noticed something was up and isolated the young master. He also casted a defensive spell so the tourists wouldn't be harmed. And it seemed that Upperclassman Jade is persuading the angry young master with some unique methods... Even so, those humans who can't seem to understand the gravity of the situation keep stirring up the young master, they're uncontrollable.
Lilia: This means we must use our last resort. We must put in effort to suppress the onlookers and avoid the worst situation.
Cater: Wait a second, Lilia. I thought of something. It's not like people there dislike Malleus or anything. Despite that, it doesn't mean that they like Malleus as well... They're just interested in trends. Just like my old acquaintances.
Lilia: ?
Cater: First, I'll take a picture of Lilia, who's wearing the same clothes as Malleus!
*shutter noise*
Cater: Next we use something catered to influencers. We'll elongate Lilia's picture with a photo editing app!
*swiping on phone*
Cater: Now we just add some text to finish it up. And then upload a cropped version to MagiCam!!
*Phone SFX*
Cater: #AWildMalleusAppeared #DraconiaChallenge #UnexpectedlyAtSportsGround #NRCHalloween
*Phone SFX*
Hall of Mirrors
Man A: H-Hey. Look at the Draconia challenge tag.
Man B: It seems he's at the Sports Ground now. As expected of Malleus. He's much faster than we are!
Girl C: Okay. Everyone, let's move!
Everyone: YEAH!
Silver: What happened? Master Malleus should still be in the Hall of Mirrors.
Cater: Fu. With this, I hope the storm has passed…?
Vil: Good grief. Accidents are an unavoidable part of stage plays. Letting yourself get influenced by the guests is so amateurish. My work here is done. I will return to the dorm to straighten up my appearance.
Jade: My, that was a close call. Malleus is extremely powerful. I persuaded him to the best of my abilites, trying to get him to understand. But there was no one to turn to if it had failed. Well then, I will also return to my station. I wish everyone a wonderful Halloween.
Malleus: I caused many disturbances between different racial groups during a mere school event. I should restrain myself more…
Sebek: The young master has done nothing wrong! It was the fault of those inferior humans!
Silver: The young master told us to avoid hostility between fae and humans. Why are you getting more hostile?
Sebek: WHAT DID YOU SAY SILVER!
Lilia: Malleus. Did you forget our promise from long ago? Call for us when the tranquility in your mind is disturbed.  Even if we are not related by blood, we are still a family. Got it?
Malleus: Lilia… My apologies. To everyone.
Everyone: …
Tumblr media
Cater: ….Family…huh.
Flashback
Lilia: But just as Cater said, there may be a perfectly logical explanation for not getting too attached to one person in particular.
Flashback ends
Cater: (That was full of lies. For a guy who grew up and lived in the same place, he never had to deal with rebuilding relations over and over…He would never understand my worthless and meaningless feelings.)
*ringing*
Cater: Hello, Trey. What's up? Huh? Are we doing our rehearsal for our night show at the stamp rally now? And Deuce, who is also part of the Halloween Committee, was at his wit's end due to the lack of manpower. So Ace is helping him out? Darn, Ace is definitely going to extort me for a favor later!
Cater: Argh! And is Riddle on the verge of a rampage? I'll be back soon, Trey. Please calm him down! I am currently at the site of the biggest crisis yet of this Halloween Week! No, for real! I'm not lying. That's why you don't have to be so cold to me, 'kay? URGH, TREY, YOU'RE SO CRUEL!
Cater: Now that Diasomnia's turmoil has settled, let's change the mood and continue on with work. In any case, we’ll still separate after the fourth year… It would be different if I repeated a year though. Anyway, I should just enjoy the moment to my heart's content! I'll surprise everyone with this charming skeleton costume! I'll show them what I'm capable of!
Tumblr media
Cater: Happy Halloween!

ASK THE LOCALS! - Gourmet (On sale Feb 2021)
We've interviewed about gourmet food in the Devildom straight from the demons' mouth! From trendy cuisine to the taste of family, we asked them to share with us their insights on gourmet food, which they know since they were born and raised in the Devildom.*
(* T/N: I know this is not true; I just translated this part as-is from the magazine article.)
RELATED ARTICLE:  Apr 2021 MAKAI TRAVEL Booklet ASK THE LOCALS! - Attractions
Q. What do you enjoy for breakfast?
BEELZEBUB:
I'm most excited when Satan is on breakfast duty because he's so particular about his choice of ingredients. The pancakes he made the other day were delicious.
SATAN:
Lately Mammon and the others are getting obsessed with Death Devil Sauce, which is a problem. I really hope they stop playing Russian roulette with muffins early in the morning.
LUCIFER:
The standard is a sandwich. If not, many of my choices are all bread related, so I can't leave out the Hell Coffee.
LEVIATHAN:
Freshly baked toast and Melancholy Jam! After all, simple is best, right?
Q. What is the best dish for a party?
BEELZEBUB:
The Whole Roasted Havoc Devil from Hell's Kitchen is a must. Whenever there is a party in Devildom, this is what is usually served.
ASMODEUS:
How can I leave out Madam Screams Ultra Rainbow-Colored cake? It makes the table look gorgeous. ♥
MAMMON:
Ya can't start the party without Demonus! A gold class Demonus is a must, especially for parties.
LEVIATHAN:
Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce to you Azuki-tan the pancake! Cute! Cuter! Cutest! When it comes to parties, it's Azuki-tan!!
Q.What is the most common dish for a celebration?
BEELZEBUB:
The Shadow Turkey from Ristorante Ninurta is exceptional. The secret seems to be in the seasoning.
LUCIFER:
That would be Headless Dragon Sashimi. It's not common to see this kind of food, but I'll let you try it someday.
BELPHEGOR:
Shadow Chirashi Sushi. The Demonkiller Remora makes an delicious accompaniment to the dish.
MAMMON:
The Bloody Cheesecake at Horror's Horror is seriously good. It's a custom made cake, so I'll order it for ya on your next birthday!
Q. What is the most popular trendy food among young people?
BEELZEBUB:
There's a huge line for the Devil's Cheese Hot Dog sold at a stall on Silence Street. I can' t stand in line because I'll get hungry while waiting.
BELPHEGOR:
Fried Quetzalcoatl Brains sprinkled with salt. For the youngsters, or at least, for me it's a fad.
SATAN:
It's not new, but right now Bufo Egg Milk Tea is all the rage. I think the most recent flavor that came out was the Grudge Chocolate flavor.
ASMODEUS:
Midnight Biscuit from Godevil Chocolatier! It's popular because it looks great on Devilgram. ♥
Q. What is your favorite dish for a packed lunch?
BEELZEBUB:
Deep Fried Shadow Goose Meat that will taste good even when it turns cold.
MAMMON:
I get all pumpin' when Skull Tornado Potatoes are inside!
ASMODEUS:
I'll definitely be making star-shaped Poison Carrots! It's all about the appearance. ♪
LEVIATHAN:
Tamago-yaki (fried eggs). Even in human world anime, the heroine who's not good at cooking gets food burnt and it's so moe!
Q. What do you eat when you are not feeling well?
BEELZEBUB:
Huh? So humans eat different things when they're sick?
LUCIFER:
Demons also eat things that are easy to digest. When Asmo had a fever once, I made him a Risotto with Hellfire Mushrooms.
BELPHEGOR:
Beel can eat anything at any time, but as for me, I prefer something gentle on the stomach, like Vjedogonia Bile Soup.
MAMMON:
I'm lookin' forward to Lucifer's risotto, which he only makes when we have a cold. ......To us younger brothers, ya know!? To us!!
Q. What is "mother's taste" to you?
BEELZEBUB:
I want to keep eating the Simmered Behemoth's Hind Leg that Lucifer makes.
ASMODEUS:
My favorite Babylon Curry is the one Lucifer makes! It makes me think that THIS is the taste to go! ♥
SATAN:
The only way to enjoy a good Super Spicy Newt Pot-au-feu is to have Mammon make it. He puts in just the right amount of spices.
BELPHEGOR:
Don't tell anyone, okay? Scorching Gecko Pasta is probably my favorite with Mammon's seasoning.
*T/N: I love how Beel is there to answer every single question of this segment. It's a segment made for him.

The Miys, Ch. 139
Day Two of the Food Festival!  This one has a specific request from @baelpenrose, which was fun to play with in the Low-Stim session (always on day 2).
To everyone who has reached out to tell me how much they are enjoying getting to see Sophia actually relax and just have fun for once.... Y’all are the best! It’s been fun writing it, too. 
New reader shout outs go to @corvallis, @penguin--person, @amphibiousuprising, @chip5-0, and I think @lostsoul8822. I think that’s everyone... If I missed you, please DM me, and I’ll add you to the next chapter.
On with the show!
The first day of the Festival, Conor and I ended up staying through not only Maverick’s shift but the one after, just so we could drag him to our favorite spots. Day two, however, Conor was on deck as Support Personnel as well as Maverick, and neither were assigned to me - for the first half of day two, we were in the Low Stim Mode, so I was pretty sure I could brave it on my own with everyone else’s proximity alerts and my own personal hyper-alertness preventing accidental bumps.
For me, the most exciting part was the different foods offered, and the fact that I could focus on just the food. Not having to ignore the other stimuli was a completely relaxing experience. The visual of the mural, with everything present, was still completely different in the even, indirect lighting. The dual nature of it was toned down significantly, leading to the overall feel being softer and overall more pleasant without being distracting.
Halfway through a very good pad thai, I spotted Derek and Sam sitting with Ivan and poking at something that Sam was clearly excited about and Derek was equally doubtful of. I circled around so they could see me approaching, and made a point to wave. “What do you think?” I asked, trying to sign as I spoke but hampered by the food in my hands.
“It was a good try,” Derek confessed, cheeks stuffed with something that had previously been on a plate to his left as a backup plan.
Setting my food down, I grinned mischievously. “Doing my best,” I signed, leading to laughter on all sides.
“You just told him you do him the best,” Ivan murmured, my face immediately flooding red.
“That is NOT what I meant,” I tried to explain out loud, over-enunciating while I clenched my hands in embarrassment.
To his credit, Derek signed what he seemed to understand I meant, emphasizing each sign. It was clear that I had gotten several out of order and added one that changed everything overall.
After repeating the signs and getting confirmation, I shook my head and sighed dramatically. “I tried.”
Ivan was trembling with laughter. “You. You did,” he admitted. “But that was… wow.” His head dropped on his hands as he shook silently.
“Souffle pancakes?” I offered, finger spelling the word souffle since I had no freaking clue how to actually sign it.
“Egg pancake,” Derek explained, poking the one I offered and contemplating the jiggle.
“It’s cinnamon sugar, and not gooey,” I explained.
Apparently I got that one right, because Derek immediately stabbed a piece and shoved it in his mouth.  The only judgement I needed was the fact that he dragged the entire remaining pancake onto his plate.
Sam watched his roommate before contemplating his own sample. Before he could even ask, I held up a cup full of macerated berries. “And fruit topping for you, sir.”
“Are those my berries?” he asked, skeptical.
I shook my head. “Bog standard, from the consoles. Your vegetables and fruits are being used in the other shifts. We didn’t want to give anyone here unexpected tastes.”
He nodded and dumped the entire cup of fruit over his pancake, digging in happily.
Ivan batted his eyes at me until I explained. “Sam’s produce has… unexpected pairings. Tomatoes that pair with cheesecake and wines, strawberries that really go well with steak…”
“The mango that goes with beer but not fish?”
“Yeah, that one. Von soil does strange things to produce, turns out.”
“Those matcha-edamame are amazing though.”
“For ice cream, yes. For tea, less so. They’re like… cooking matcha, almost.” I laughed. They actually worked better for ice cream than matcha did, oddly - reducing the sugar content but still giving the same flavor.
“One vendor on the last day is using nothing but my produce,” Sam announced happily. “They asked my permission.”
“That’s good!” I encouraged him. “They should always ask your permission to do things like that.”
“People ask with requisition forms,” he agreed. “Mona asked in person.”
Note to self: much more patronage at Mona’s normal spot, I swore in my head.  She specialized in vegetarian dishes, and honestly made some of the best fried cabbage I’d had in my life.  Knowing that she was so considerate of Sam cemented her as my new favorite takeaway place.
After a little more chat, I finally waved my goodbyes to everyone and strolled slowly to the next tempting stall. I wasn’t really in any hurry, and did more people-watching than I did eating. Latkes were infinitely more interesting when I could overhear people arguing over family recipes.  A small bowl of udon was delicious, but not nearly as flavorful as the discussion around hot versus cold, what to top them with, egg or no egg… the only thing anyone seemed to agree on was that the smiling vendor ‘obviously’ ground their own flour, because the flour provided by the consoles was the wrong texture.
Another mental note: don’t learn to make udon.  Despite what I had previously believed, it takes a lifetime to make it right, turns out.
Wandering further down, I was delighted by the discovery of something that was very clearly Hannah’s doing: demonstrations of older food prep techniques.  Simon winked at me as he carried on a demonstration of - insanely - how to hand pull toffee. I didn’t know he could do that. Muna was demonstrating the correct way to make chapatis and handing them out as fast as she was making them. Clearly, she had been making them her whole life, because at no point did I actually see her look at them, but every single one was perfect.
Laughter erupted over my shoulder, and I whipped my head around to see the source. After wading through a crowd of smiling faces, I couldn’t help but join in.  There, right in front of the entire Ark, was Maverick trying to flip takoyaki as fast as the person demonstrating, and ending up with just a mess of octopus and batter on his side.  Both Maverick and the person guiding him were smiling, though, and in the end, the vendor handed Maverick four perfectly-round balls and quickly devoured all of the - less shapely, so to speak - ones on my partner’s side.  With an exuberant cheer and extending his arms wide to the crowd, the man exclaimed “The first takoyaki of a new student are always my favorite! Nothing tastes better!”
After bowing to his sensei, Maverick turned and spotted me, face still flushed with laughter.  He offered his food to a smaller man I did not recognize, who must have been the person Maverick was Supporting, before waving to me and continuing on.  Despite the urge to crush him in a hug, I forced my feet to stay in place and reminded myself that he was working.
By the time I trusted myself not to race after him, I realized someone had been trying to get my attention and had resorted to messaging me rather than shouting. “Phee, I don’t know what la-la land you are lost in, but look 100 yards to your four.”
The hell was Arthur doing here? He wasn’t scheduled to work this shift, as far as I was aware.  Craning my neck over my shoulder, I turned to see… Apparently a hallucination. It had to be.  There was no chance in any of the nine hells that Arthur Farro was dishing out spaghetti, much less smiling while doing it.
Almost dreamlike, I found myself drifting over to confirm that I was wrong, only to be startled when he shoved a plate with not only spaghetti but two gorgeous pieces of garlic bread under my nose. “Special plates, you can’t smell anything unless it’s on purpose.”
“You… Spaghetti?” I asked, eloquent as ever.
“Family recipe.”
“Leaning into the stereotype a bit, aren’t you?” I asked carefully before shoving as much of one thick, crusty piece of toast in my mouth as I could.
He shook his head. “Anyone who tells you their family is Italian and denies having a family recipe for anything is a damned liar.”
Skeptically, I took a bite. It was amazing. “Ah ee deh rehahee,” I tried to get out around the heap of pasta I was steadily shoving in my mouth.
“Maverick is a very bad influence on your table manners,” he observed drily, plating more portions and handing them out. “And no. Not happening.”
“You know I can cook.”
“Not the point. I also know that you will fiddle with it until it is unrecognizable, so there’s really no point in giving it to you.”
Defiantly, I took a smaller bite and chewed carefully. “Garlic, onions, obviously. Sausage and minced… Lamb? But that’s probably just for this session, knowing you it’s spicy sausage regularly.  I’m not getting carrot, though, so no soffritto? Unexpected…. Is that thyme, I’m tasting?”
“Rosemary, you heathen. And you’re still wrong.”
I mumbled to myself. “What did I get wrong? It’s gotta be the lamb… maybe he does usually use the lamb? I’m certain it is lamb…”
“It is lamb, and no, I don’t usually use it. But you left several things out.”
I stared at the plate again, confused. “I didn’t think I needed to mention the tomatoes….”
“Basil… oregano….” he drawled.
“Duhhh?” I poked through the last bite on my plate, sniffing it, trying to figure out what I was missing. “Fine, you win, I’m lost.”
“Mushrooms, Sophia. There’s mushrooms. Jeezus. It was an easy one, too.”  He showed me a bowl full of what looked like cooked and crumbled sausage, only for me to realize it was the tiniest diced mushrooms I had ever seen in my life.
“I am dying to know how you got them that small.”
“With a knife?” He arched an eyebrow at me as he turned to start another batch of sauce.
“Yeah, no shit, Arthur.”
“Correct, there is no shit in the spaghetti,” he confirmed cheekily as the vegetables started sizzling.
“Asshole,” I laughed, scraping the remaining sauce from my plate with the piece of bread I saved just for that purpose. Just as I was frowning at the sauce-less plate and remaining half-piece of bread, a scalding hot dollop of fresh sauce invaded my vision.
“You love me, because I won’t let you frown at your bread like that.”
Fiiiinnnne I sighed in my head as I shoved a piece of saucy, saucy bread into my cheeks and waggled my fingers to let him get back to work.

Would you be willing, if you have time and don't mind, to some some Noi and/or Shin headcannons? 👀 I don't see them around here and I need some big girl Noi stuff to counteract all this Alcinia thirst yk?
I feel you, anon. Thicc waifus can be soft and tall like Lady D, but for every slice of cheesecake there's also a delicious beefsteak as well. Both are equally beautiful and deserve appreciation 💗
Noi really didn't intend for things to escalate to kidnapping. She just had a crush! At first it was exciting and nerve-wracking and wonderful the way crushes can be, and she'd gone to Shin-senpai for advice on how to approach them and confess. Shin had just said for her to just be herself, and if ____ was interested they'd like her back. It wasn't hard.
She'd be filled with confidence thanks to his advice, and she'd march right up to her Darling...She probably should have waited to do this until after she'd gotten home from work and cleaned up a bit, just because she was covered in blood. And a giant in a black zipper mask striding towards you is kind of terrifying. She'd try to calm her Darling down but in the end she'd panic and just knock them out with one quick chop to the neck. She just needed them to stop screaming!
She'd realize she screwed up and haul them over her shoulder, hastily calling Shin to ask for help while she went to her place at En's mansion with them. She figured that once they were awake, she could explain things. But then she'd be worried about them refusing to listen and think she was a crazy stalker who'd kidnapped them. Which...okay, yes, technically speaking she DID knock them unconscious and capture them, but it wasn't as bad as it sounded!
As a yandere/captor, she's incredibly sweet and loving with her Darling. I've used this metaphor before but it's like those videos of gorillas or pitbulls being gentle with kittens/puppies; you know they easily have the ability to kill, but they're just so soft and sweet with the fragile little sweetheart in their arms! Noi is just like that, lol. Though her hugs can sometimes be a bit suffocating when she forgets to hold back a bit.
Thanks to her magic, it'd be difficult for a Darling to get away from her. She has them locked in their room when she has to go work, and whenever they're out she's always with them. And how do you fight/overpower someone with her strength that can instantly heal themselves? Still, she tries her best to make life so nice for her Darling that they wouldn't want to leave. She'd be cautious of not killing or hurting people too much around them, since she wants them to feel SAFE with her. She's very protective of her Darling and would absolutely kill for them though--just somewhere where her Darling can't see.
Shin is much more quiet and in his own head when it comes to his feelings for his Darling. At first he may even try to push them down. With his line of work, he knows being in a relationship with him would be...difficult, to say the least. He's definitely the type to fall for a caring and "housewife/husband"ish kind of Darling, which means he'd become extra protective of them before he realized it.
Eventually those bottled-up feelings would have to come out somehow, and he'd try to stave it off by just watching them from afar (read: stalking). Just to keep an eye on them, though. There were some dangerous people in the city, he definitely knew that--he's just making sure they don't get hurt or taken advantage of.
Eventually, watching from afar wouldn't cut it. He'd leave some anonymous notes for them, reminding them to stay safe and wishing them well. He'd get a little more bold and write about how much he cares for them, wishing for even some possibility they loved him back no matter how slim.
He'd try to interact with them more, but the more time he spent with them the more he'd feel that weight in his chest that made his palms sweat and left him feeling like his heart was about to explode. His Darling would probably notice his odd behavior and ask if he was okay; the moment their hand touched him, he wouldn't be able to take it any more.
He'd quickly pull them in for a kiss and incapacitate them if they resisted too much when he tried to drag them back to his place afterwards. He'd always thought about living with them here, and had even been bold enough to steal some of their things from their apartment to "move in" when they were out. They really should remember to lock all their windows and doors.
He's more calculating and is better at Noi when it comes to coming up with ways to keep his Darling from trying to leave. Over time they can learn to love him, and even if they don't he's happy just to keep them safe from the outside world. He's the type to set traps that would capture them, and he'd prefer to punish them with isolation as opposed to hurting them. Still, he may indulge in his sadistic side sometimes and spank them, justifying it as being for their own good. The erection he gets from spanking them is just an afterthought.
