🍂~ so shes @yearningfeather.bsky.social

planning on posting something for yuxi. u.u

Diligence @qiusvirtue.bsky.social · 2d

🍂~ so i had this amazing idea of diligence taking in one of my ocs who i never gave a plot line to

Diligence @qiusvirtue.bsky.social · 2d

"tell me, how does it feel like being a heaven's pet? do they give you a treat?" it felt like envy was talking to him through that brat.

Diligence @qiusvirtue.bsky.social · 2d

"your eyes remind me of your mother," he would say while braiding her hair.

everything was perfect until she met that abomination. it was the last memory diligence was able to forcefully see.

Diligence @qiusvirtue.bsky.social · 2d

his first and final experiment was a swan, li yuxi. she was everything he wanted in a daughter.

she had lavender hair and violet eyes. she walked gracefully, he didn't need to teach her etiquette. she was perfection.

she was everything that envy couldn't be.

Diligence @qiusvirtue.bsky.social · 2d

but it wasn't enough. two useless sons, one couldn't properly kill his abomination. the other got killed before he could do his duty as a son.

fine, whatever. all he needed was to get a child again. he heard of animals shapeshifting into humans.

Diligence @qiusvirtue.bsky.social · 2d

all is in the past. after all, they had twins after he was granted to hunt her down once they were running away from their responsibilities as a sin.

but it wasn't enough. two useless sons, one couldn't properly kill his abomination. the other got killed before he could do his duty as a son.

Diligence @qiusvirtue.bsky.social · 2d

the night before envy's execution, envy laughed at him. "you can be the heaven's pet, not me." the envy that he know wouldn't have spoken to him like that.

they had nothing to lose. after miscarrying that revolting creature, they lost their sanity.

Diligence @qiusvirtue.bsky.social · 2d

maybe, then... they would've gotten a beautiful daughter.

a beautiful daughter who would've gotten married to the offspring of spring and summer.

Diligence @qiusvirtue.bsky.social · 2d

all the wives he all died by their own hands, but his father always had front row seat to their death.

when he executed envy, his father scolded him. "you should've allowed that brat to live. break the creature until it submits or it dies." he should've listened. he should've broke the leviathan.

Diligence @qiusvirtue.bsky.social · 2d

as a child, his father taught him the phrase: "by any means necessary." if diligence were to be compared to his father, diligence would be a saint.

his father never held a sword, but his hands were still stained with blood.

Gluttony. . .

So Heaven is into torture porn. Got it.

Diligence @qiusvirtue.bsky.social · 19d

Tsk. Do you think heaven will grant anyone a spot who hadn't suffered? It was only temporarily.

After the suffering, they would've went to heaven and enjoy the paradise. Your jiejie was weak and couldn't handle a small trial.

If Heaven's will was for them to suffer, why would anyone want to follow that?

Diligence @qiusvirtue.bsky.social · 19d

[ rubs his head. ] because i followed the heaven's will and your jiejie didn't.

You didn't HAVE to do that. You're proof that Heaven is really corrupt. Why are YOU an angel, but Jiejie is the demon?

Diligence @qiusvirtue.bsky.social · 19d

i did what i had to do

Aren't you always bullying my Jiejie? You're the cause of their trauma.

Diligence @qiusvirtue.bsky.social · 19d

i thought we were getting along well🙄

"I'm gonna hire Slothy to research how I can turn Diligence into a goldfish without it affecting Jiejie!"

Diligence @qiusvirtue.bsky.social · 19d

don't worry about the money (💧)

⋆ Bié Xī Bo - Prince Beelzebul @xuetaotie.bsky.social · 19d

Okaaaay! I hope you have a lot of money...

Diligence @qiusvirtue.bsky.social · 19d

yes. anything you want.

[ shudders. ] don't even mention the invention...

Diligence @qiusvirtue.bsky.social · 19d

diligence scoffs. this will be the first and last time he'll try to console the sin!

"it'll end soon enough." he stares into the distance, silently praying sloth won't release his invention to the mortal realm.

(树懒 sloth) 𝐰𝐞𝐢 𝐰𝐮𝐱𝐢𝐚𝐧。 @torpidchaos.bsky.social · 19d

“Is that supposed to comfort me!” He complains with a deep sigh.

“How long is this supposed to last anyway.”

Diligence @qiusvirtue.bsky.social · 19d

"overworking is just as bad as underworking." he frowns.

diligence has the audacity to pat sloth's hand. it's an attempt to comfort the soon-to-be busy sin. "you got this."

Diligence @qiusvirtue.bsky.social · 19d

“Hah? Aren’t they supposed to punish you for UNDER working?” He rubs his face.

“Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. I’m gonna be so busy, fuck…”

Diligence @qiusvirtue.bsky.social · 19d

"heaven decided to punish me for overworking." perhaps of his state, diligence is on the verge of crying.

"they won't punish me for long," or that is what he hopes.

“You…..”

Trembles in annoyance.

“Whyre you a child… no wonder something felt off in the mortal world on our part…”
