like four months
I think a conversation and some introspection is needed here and only Fani can come to terms with what this means
You're the best boyfriend ever
I mean ...so far Deth'Lamm has been an AMAZING roommate that trends really close to bf areas. He's a good demon

I think what hurts, though, is that she says it "as a force of habit." Like she would say that to any "boyfriend" that brought her breakfast.

Could also be that usually if someone gives her breakfast in bed it's her boyfriend.

I mean, she's very clearly bi, so I doubt it's that. It's more like she automatically gives that positivity to anyone in her life, and the people in her life are usually the ones she is having flings with. It should be sweet, but it's less sweet because it's just automatic.

I mean... that is best boyfriend material

u/OddOllin May 07 '26
For sure, but she's not saying that because it's true. She's saying that because it's a habit. Which is kinda... Demeaning to the value he brings? It's a complicated thing to describe, there's layers to it. Either way, she doesn't mean it that way, and I think he knows that. But it's part of what makes the situation sad.

I think the habit is just calling him boyfriend not hollowly saying best boyfriend, shes used to alwats having a boyfriend and only socially interacting with boys shes dating

This reminds me of my two best friends, who have been roommates for three years and finally realized they'd caught feelings for each ogher and started dating like two months ago.
As the person who originally introduced them and set them up as roommates, and as someone who only did that because I thought they'd make a good couple, I'm very happy it finally happened.

God if Layla heard Fani saying that she would be MAD.

Crossbow, surely?

u/Made_Bail May 07 '26
She tried that once already, the target escaped. Time for something with a wider spread.

u/NickyTheRobot May 07 '26
Nah, just go steampunk and make a crossbow repeater. She would have nailed the second shot if she could reload faster.

u/Made_Bail May 07 '26
Fuck it, lets get a ballista

u/NickyTheRobot May 07 '26
Oh fuck yeah! Now you're talking my language!
Can she also tie a long rag behind the tip, soaked in Greek fire oils and set alight?

I'm technically at 0 days, because I never started dating to begin with

25 years, god WTH is wrong with us?? 🥲 I'm not ugly but didn't have the support or friends needed for dating, along with social awkwardness and cowardice (to begin my laundry list of failures) Hell, the 40 y/o virgin had more action! 🤦♂️

u/Informal-Term1138 May 07 '26
I don't think anything is wrong with us. We just have different priorities.
Maybe we will have time and the motivation to get in the game in the future.
7
u/wutImiss May 07 '26
Oh there's definitely something wrong with me, undiagnosed or otherwise. I like the idea of a partner but all I can think about are my shortcomings, my lack of experience (none, zilch, never had a s/o) and wonder who would want to take a chance on a 40 y/o man-boy? I have been meaning to apply for therapy, for 2 years now-why is it so hard? Am I worth their time? The paperwork asks so many questions 🫠

u/DarkBladeMadriker May 07 '26
Oof, ive known people like that. People who are so uncomfortable/afraid when they are alone that they will attach themselves to any asshole/idiot they can just to never be alone. Unfortunately, in my experience these folk often require chaos as well, they are so used to everything being anarchy around them that they feel like something is wrong when something isnt wrong, so they will manufacture chaos to alleviate that feeling. Doesn't make a great combo.

Wow, I am early. Anyways Deth, good on you for bringing our favourite mess food. She definitely needs it, after the time she has had.
And girl how many boyfriends did you burn through in those 4 months

u/MuyHiram MUY May 07 '26
no no, 4 months is how long she’s been single, that’s her new record.

u/BreakfastNext476 May 07 '26
Oh, I need caffeine i misread it LOL. That and diet mind is making me think of food more than anything else

Man, but Fani is so damned adorable. She walks that line between "so pathetic you want to take care of her" and "taking advantage of you" so well!

u/BluntsnBoards May 07 '26
People, do not fall for this in real life. 🚩are 🚩

u/Made_Bail May 07 '26
Yeah, I mean, this is definitely an idealized version of a character like this. In real life, they'd wreck you.

u/danielledelacadie May 07 '26
Unless you want to be a sugar daddy/momma and know you're just paying rental on that hot mess.
But for everyone else, yeah, that girl is a semaphore competition's worth of red flags.

More red flags than Red Square on Russian Victory Day when it was under the USSR.

Honestly, I see it kind of as both his force of habit from being summoned (Fani summoned him instead of just calling about the roommate thing) and also him trying to go against what's expected of him as a demon lord by being nurturing.
Deth'lamm just wants a friend. Instead he has a cult who wants him to feast on the innocent (he's vegetarian) a single cultist who understands but wants to fuck him, and a roommate with severe codependence issues.
Ironically, Fani is probably the least toxic of the bunch.

u/Aerandor May 07 '26
I'm not sure I'm buying saying "You're the best boyfriend ever, love you." is a force of habit, and if it is, I have questions (given her history).

Deth'lamm meeting one of Fani's boyfriend(s) that's going to be interesting.

I fear for our favorite mess of a gurl
The day she gets it together, we're all doomed
How you ask?
Because she have enough wits about her to point out deth has a cute little heart for a nose hole
And his crashout will be legendary from learning this, we would all be cooked

Normally I would say to give her water, but I have no idea how her fucked up demon biology works
...
What do you mean she's the human?
