@Lucy_Ebooks why thank you, dear. we do try
@Lucy_Ebooks we all have that tendency sometimes
@Lucy_Ebooks ok, wasn't really expecting the youtube link, but. of course it's that link. of fuckin course it is. this is beautiful
@BestGirlGrace i mean fair but we can also get that from our own self
@BestGirlGrace but it sorta ruins the "wow, they have a cool name" feeling until our memory fucks up again
@BestGirlGrace the problem is when most of the cool names we know we came up with. like, the coolest name any of our friends has?? was a nickname we gave someone
@BestGirlGrace very true. however, speaking as a pragmatist, we could always just go for someone who's already settled on a cool name instead
@BestGirlGrace tbh if we floated the name in a couple trans groups we're in, we'd probably inspire someone. not sure how you'd go about explaining the ways in which that's a questionably ethical decision, tho
@BestGirlGrace ....we appear to be at an impasse, then
@BestGirlGrace how do i date a jezebel grimoire
re: the demon with the holy sword
@hierarchon aaaa, my heart?? so good
the demon with the holy sword
story idea based on some conversation with @vyr
a demon who was sent to corrupt a little outpost of the church finds a paladin who easily saw through her disguise... only to ask her for help with the fact that she's lesbian/trans/both. so they talk (and do more than talk), and live in this uneasy truce. the demon doesn't try to corrupt things *too* much, and the paladin doesn't reveal who she is.
then, one day, the paladin is gone. the demon asks around in her mortal disguise for what happened, and discovers that the paladin's been discovered by the church, shipped off to be 'corrected'/tried/executed.
but, somehow, her sword was left behind. and the demon takes it up, and its enchantments of light yield to her. and the demon reflects on something the paladin told her: that unlike most of the holy swords, hers was special. it only kills monsters. she draws it across the back of her hand, experimentally. no blood.
but oh, does it draw blood from those that stand between her and her journey to rescue the paladin.
but not the paladin herself, during their confrontation. she'd been broken, twisted against herself, made to believe she was a monster that could only find salvation in destruction. but when the demon brings her sword to her neck, nothing happens. not even the slightest scratch. and the demon implores her to *remember*, to remember what they shared, the love they had. to remember that she's not a monster.
and the impossibly-bright halo shatters, the searing armor fades, and the paladin collapses in to the arms of the demon, of the only person who ever truly knew her.
and together, they find their freedom.
you know that feeling when you're chatting with a couple adorable cuties and they start being cute together and you get super happy and then you hit your maximum level of happiness so when one of them tells a funny joke you overflow all the way into depressed for a couple seconds and then you're back to being extremely happy
