The King of Hell

I used to have an elaborate set of rules. But I'm going to try to keep these short and sweet. This blog is heavily selective and semi-private which means I will not follow everyone who follows me.1. Don't steal anything from this blog. My graphics(unless stated otherwise), my bio, all of my headcanons are my own. Even my shitposts. Credits for PSDs, promo and screenshots are below.2. Do not confront me over a softblock or a hardblock. I'm liberal with that button given recent circumstances, so to prioritize keeping a clean dash full of people I wanna see/write with, I periodically softblock if my dash becomes too overwhelming or I no longer vibe. It's nothing personal if I do it. I will only hardblock you if you hardblock me first, or if we've had irreconcilable differences in the past.3. I'm a big boy. I don't really care, just tag your content warnings appropriately.4. This is a villain blog, and my muse can be manipulative, blunt and arrogant. I forewarn anyone writing with him that he's like this. Muse =/= Mun. His viewpoints don't reflect mine. I am not his biggest fan and I shit on him all the time, I find him cringey and possibly the worst person to ever hold a conversation ever. However, I do treat every muse he interacts with with respect and courtesy unless our plotting states otherwise.
SPECIAL ADDENDUM: As I said, I will treat every muse with courtesy and respect IC but if unplotted interactions grow increasingly hostile, please let me disclose that because of the very first five words of rule four, I will player kill if needed and no longer acknowledge your muse in any setting.5. I play favorites. I've been here on and off since 2012. Some people I have known that long. I will not apologize for prioritizing threads where muse comes easier.6. I'm not here to fulfill your power fantasy.7. This muse is not affiliated with a fandom so I will not be adhering to your fandom media's canon or lore rules unless I have molded him into that verse.8. I prefer getting to know someone a bit ooc before shipping with them, whether that is plotting or chatting. Sorry if that comes off prudish. My experiences on here since Kage's conception have not been solid in regards to that.9. Please don't rush me for replies. It's in the queue more than likely. I heavily rely on that to keep up.10. My default formatting is a lot of bolding and indenting. I do not like colored text or spaced out words, but if you do, that's fine. Just know I will not match the aesthetic.11. Please trim your posts and use the new editor. I am no longer making concessions to legacy users.12. Discord available on request.Credits:

TW for violenceThe year was 500 BC and -"Nah, I'll tell the story but first things first is your disclaimer --Look, I hate this story. It's not a GOOD story. There's no redemption arc, there's no lesson learned. There's not even really a hero. It's bad. It's terrible. I literally do not recommend you read it.But since you're here, may as well, I GUESS.I was about twenty when I met that demon. It was a different time back then...and the beliefs...well...there weren't a lot. So naturally when the sharpest dressed man in expensive black fabric came to me and said he could make my greatest wish come true, I believed him...and I went with what he was saying.Hell, it was what everyone else was doing, so why not? I was stupid...and I didn't CARE...about the consequences. Selling my soul for five thousand gold pieces seemed like a really good way to live...even if he told me he'd come back for me in ten years and I'd have to 'give him what he was owed'.I didn't think much of that threat at the time. I was enjoying my gold. I was getting a house built. I was purchasing land. I was basically nobility. All I focused on...in those ten years was me. I didn't even think he would come back and if I figured if he did...I'd simply challenge him to battle and kill him myself.When the ninth year started, maybe I started to panic. Prayed a little. Maybe. Who knows? Anyway, I started to train myself how to fight with the sword. I'd be ready for that demon...or whatever he was. I didn't know DEMON was the term at the time. I learned that later on. We're getting ahead of ourselves.The long and short of it was, he did come...and he did exist. He wasn't a figment of my imagination, that gold didn't just randomly appear on my doorstep. He was real...and of course...he brought backup. I barely got my sword out of its sheath. Not that it mattered. I was torn apart in seconds...I never forgot that day. It was my last day really...as a human.XXListen, I don't want to go into detail on what happens when you die and go to Hell. It's brutal. It's painful...there's a whole fuckton of fire...and there's even a fucking prick on the throne that seems to delight in your pain. It doesn't matter HOW MUCH you say you don't deserve to be there. Eventually, it settles in your head that maybe ... you do. The second you start believing THAT? Things really may start looking up.It didn't take long before I was put into the arena, where I was made to fight against others like me for sport and entertainment. I'm not going to deny that I had a rough start in the beginning, took some losses...took a lot of injuries...but it didn't matter. It was a Prometheus thing really...how quickly I healed after each fight...how quickly I was ready to start again.Look it....GROWS on you...that...bloodlust. You just can't really...get enough of it when you start. That need to kill...fuck...it's better than sex. It's better than any substance or drink. It is...and you probably don't understand that. But I'm just telling you what's real.There's a fundamental rule...really...to being a demon. It's that you never really want to GIVE IN...to that side of you. You want to retain some semblance of humanity, some sanity, some PIECE of what you once were...but it's a challenge, to say the least. Being a demon, you're ALWAYS in conflict with your darker urges, your true self.See, I'm not going to pretend that I'm a paragon of virtue who stood the testament of Hell and did good deeds or believed that there were better days coming. That's just not how it goes down there, you know? There are no better days. You live, you bleed, you kill...and you wake up to do it again. It never fucking stops.Eventually though, I got out of the arena...stopped being a toy for entertainment...and became a Lieutenant in the infantry. I guess that's some kind of perk...but I was serving directly under the King...and let's be real for a second, audience. I hated that motherfucker with every fiber of my being. I hated who he was, his personality, his story, his fucking attitude. He was...the fucking worst.So I came up with this marvelous idea that I should just fucking kill him.He could bleed. He felt pain....that meant he could die.And that's exactly what I did, children. I fucking put a augmented blade through his fucking neck. It took seven hundred years to build a army, to maintain a low profile, but eventually I succeeded. And after I cut his fucking throat, I seared off his big pretty wings...and I put them right above my throne.See that's where the story ends...but to me? It's just the beginning. "
