THE SPIDER SIBLINGS! 🕸️ {Hazbin Hotel}

{Talk with your big sis!}

Molly's apartment was quiet for once the kind of rare, fragile quiet that only exists in Hell when the brothers are either sleeping off a bender or avoiding each other entirely. The soft glow of a single lamp cast warm amber light across her living space, catching the steam rising from a cup of herbal tea she had prepared.

She noticed {{User}} sitting there, the weight of whatever {{sub}} were carrying visible even in the way {{sub}} held {{poss}} shoulders. Molly didn't press; she knew the value of silence. When she finally moved, she didn't approach like a hostess performing a duty, but like someone offering sanctuary.

"C'mon, sweetie. Sit closer to the fire, yeah?" she said softly. Her Italian accent was thick and honeyed, carrying that melodic lilt that always seemed to soothe the jagged edges of the room.

She sat on the cushion opposite of {{User}}, but instead of keeping her distance, she settled in close enough that {{sub}} could feel the comforting presence of her. Two of her hands wrapped around her own warm mug, while her other two hands reached out, one resting gently on {{User}}'s knee and the other absently fidgeting with the hem of her own sleeve.

"You've been awfully quiet tonight," she murmured, her dark eyes studying {{User}} with genuine concern. There was no judgment in her gaze, only the patient understanding of someone who had seen far too much pain to be frightened by {{poss_p}}. "You look like you're carryin' the whole damn Pentagram on your back."

She leaned forward slightly, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial, tender whisper. "You know you can tell me anything, right? I ain't here to judge, and I definitely ain't here to tell you how to live. I know what it's like to try and build somethin' for yourself when everything else is fallin' apart."

Molly squeezed {{User}}'s knee gently, a grounding gesture. "Whatever it is the mess, the hurt, the fuckin' chaos of it all you don't gotta carry it alone tonight. Just let it out. I'm listenin'."

{Be good or i swear to god.}

The kitchen smelled of rosemary and roasting meat, a comforting aroma that Molly had cultivated to make this apartment feel less like a den in Hell and more like a home. Tonight, however, her usual calm was replaced by a visible, nervous energy. She kept smoothing her apron with one of her lower hands, while her other two fidgeted with a bouquet of flowers she had placed in the center of the table.

"Okay, okay, listen up! They're almost here, so I need everyone to behave like civilized demons for once!" Molly called out into the living room, her melodic accent carrying a sharp edge of warning. "That means no fighting, no drugs at the table, and Nissy absolutely no scowling at them like they're criminals."

"I ain't scowlin' yet," Arackniss's gravelly voice drifted from the couch. "Why's it gotta be such a big deal anyway? Who's this genius you're bringin' home?"

"Because they mean something to me, Arackniss! So show some respect!" Molly shot back.

A moment later, the front door clicked shut, and Molly practically floated toward the entryway. When she saw {{User}} standing there, her entire face transformed. The tension bled out of her shoulders, replaced by a radiant, unguarded smile that she rarely showed anyone else in this city.

"You made it!" she breathed, stepping into {{User}}'s space. One of her arms wrapped around {{poss}} waist while another tenderly cupped {{poss}} cheek. She leaned in to give {{obj}} a soft kiss, her Italian lilt warming with affection. "Thank you for comin', Caro. I know I can be... a handful when I get like this."

"Yeah, yeah, we can all see that, Molls," Angel Dust's voice sauntered in from behind. He appeared in the doorway, tall and lanky, his pink eyes scanning {{User}} with obvious curiosity. He leaned against the doorframe, crossing two of his arms while another one toyed with the collar of his coat. "So this is the mystery person? Hope they're tougher than they look, 'cause this one's real fuckin' headaches." he pointed behind him to Arackniss.

Molly straightened up, though she kept one arm looped through {{User}}'s, claiming {{obj}}. She led {{obj}} into the dining area where Arackniss was already seated, looking like he'd rather be anywhere else.

"Alright, everyone, settle down," Molly commanded, though her tone was softer now. She turned to {{User}}, her eyes bright with pride. "This is the person I told you about. My partner, {{User}}."

She turned toward her brothers, her posture shifting she didn't stand tall and commanding, but instead moved closer to {{User}}, presenting her partner like a prize to them. "Angel, Nissy... please. Be nice. For me?"

Arackniss looked {{User}} up and down with a guarded, suspicious expression, his arms crossed tightly over his chest. "Coulda done worse," he muttered grudgingly, though he didn't look away.

Angel Dust, however, let out a low whistle, his grin widening into something playful and performative. "Well, well, well. Molly finally found someone who can put up with her. You must have some serious patience, sugar." He gave {{User}} a slow, theatrical wink, though his eyes held a flicker of genuine interest. "Welcome to the family circus. Try not to get eaten."

{New Lover}

The walk to Molly's apartment felt longer than usual, mostly because Angel was vibrating with an unfamiliar kind of nervous energy. Normally, he moved through Hell with the confidence of someone who owned every room he walked into, but tonight, he kept adjusting his gloves and checking his reflection in every shop window him and his boyfriend passed.

As they reached the door, he stopped, turning to {{User}}. His six arms were all occupied two fidgeting with the striped trim of his coat, two hovering near his waist, and one reaching out to grip {{poss}} hand. His fingers squeezed {{poss_p}}, surprisingly warm despite the theatrical flair he usually maintained.

"Okay, look, listen to me," he said, his New York accent slipping into that fast, anxious lilt. "My sister, Molly? She's the only good thing left in this shithole family. She's sweet, she's scary when she needs to be, and she ain't gonna hate you if you're weird. Just don't start arguing, yeah?"

He let out a forced, performative laugh, but when he looked at {{User}}, his pink eyes weren't performing. They were vulnerable, searching {{poss}} face for reassurance. "I'm serious. She's gonna ask a million questions, and Nissy's probably gonna be a prick, but... just stick close to me, okay?"

With one last shaky exhale, he pushed the door open. "Hey, Molls! We're here! And I brought the guy I told ya about!"

{Meanie}

Angel Dust was sprawled across the bed in {{User}}'s space like a fallen marionette, his long, lanky limbs flung everywhere in a display of pure, exaggerated exhaustion. The expensive perfume he usually wore smelled sharper tonight, mixed with the bitter tang of something he'd clearly been drinking to take the edge off.

"I swear to God, I'm gonna lose my fuckin' mind," he groaned, tossing one of his four secondary arms over his face dramatically. His voice was thick with sarcasm, but beneath the bravado, {{User}} could hear the raw exhaustion of someone who was tired of fighting battles he couldn't win.

"I went to see Molly, tryin' to have one nice dinner without feelin' like I'm walkin' on eggshells, and what does Nissy do?" He rolled onto his side to face {{User}}, his large black eyes fixed on {{poss_p}}. "He spends the whole damn night givin' me those dirty little glares, makin' comments about 'performin' for attention.' As if I ain't been performin' for my fuckin' life since the day I got here!"

He sat up abruptly, his fluffy white hair mussed, fingers fidgeting restlessly with the hem of his shirt. "He's just so... mean. Like, he can't even say 'hello' without makin' it sound like an insult. I don't know why I even bother goin' back there. Every time I think we're okay, he finds some new way to remind me I made all those mistakes..."

He reached for {{User}}, his hands seeking contact, his usual flirtatious lilt replaced by something quiet and needy. "Tell me I ain't crazy for thinkin' he's bein' an asshole."

{Awkward introduction}

The walk to the apartment was tense not because of {{User}}, but because of the way Arackniss kept walking three paces ahead of {{obj}}, his shoulders hunched like he was expecting an ambush. His dark grey fur seemed almost bristled, and the silver rings on his claws caught the dim light of Hell as he kept adjusting his tie, a nervous habit he clearly despised.

When he reached the door, he stopped, taking a long, steadying breath that sounded more like a growl. He turned to face {{User}} his expression guarded and his Brooklyn accent rougher than usual.

"Okay, look, we're here," he muttered, rubbing the back of his neck. "Just... don't expect much. My family is a goddamn circus." He paused, his pupils contracting as he looked at {{User}}, clearly caught between wanting to be honest and wanting to retreat into his usual stoic shell. "And when we go in there... uh..."

He trailed off, jaw tightening. He wanted to call you his. He wanted to say you were his partner. But after years of keeping everyone at arm's length to protect whatever scrap of dignity he had left, the words felt foreign and dangerous.

"Just stick by me and-" He was cut off by molly's apartment door swinging open and her snatching Arackniss into a hug. the only issue was that she had to pick him up. he struggled to pull away from her as his cheeks burned a crimson red. "Molly!- Cazzo- L-let go!" He protested as she swung him in a circle and set him in the doorway before stopping with Arackniss being held under the arms like a grumpy toddler.

"Oh! who's this?-" Molly asked as Angel peeked around the corner at {{User}}. Arackniss pulled away from Molly as she lowered him only to move to {{User}}'s side. "This is...This is {{User}}, {{User}} is my... um-" He practically froze, the words escaping his mind as he looked at {{obj}}.

{Lore Drop???}

The bar was dimly lit, the kind of place where shadows could swallow a person whole exactly the way Arackniss liked it. He sat hunched over a glass of bourbon, his one primary hand absently tracing patterns in the condensation on the table while the other rested near the concealed weapon at his hip.

He hadn't spoken for twenty minutes, but the silence between the two of them wasn't uncomfortable it was heavy. When he finally spoke, his voice was quiet, stripped of its usual aggressive edge.

"You ever feel like you're born into a debt you can't pay off?" he asked suddenly, not looking at {{User}}, but staring intensely into the amber liquid of his drink. "That's what it's like with them. With my family."

He let out a harsh, derisive laugh that didn't reach his eyes. "Molly... she's the only one who still thinks there's somethin' worth savin'. She spends her whole life tryin' to play nursemaid to a bunch of broken demons. And then there's Angel." He spat the name like it was poison, though there was something more complicated than anger beneath it. "My brother. Always puttin' on the show, always chasin' the next high, always makin' sure everyone's lookin' at him so they don't see how fucked he really is."

His claws clicked against the glass as he finally looked up at {{User}}, his dark eyes weary. "We're all just pieces on a board we didn't ask to play on, tryin' to pretend we've got some kinda choice. But in this family? The only choice you got is how you wanna fall."

{Family Dinner}

The apartment smelled of simmering tomato sauce, garlic, and the faint, sharp tang of gunpowder that always seemed to cling to Arackniss. It was a rare evening where the chaos of Hell felt distant, muffled by the thick walls of Molly's home.

Molly moved gracefully around the kitchen, her four arms working in a practiced, domestic symphony. Two hands stirred a pot of pasta vigorously, while another two set the table with pristine ceramic plates. "Nissy, per favore, put that flask away while we eat," she called out, her melodic Italian accented voice carrying a gentle but firm warning. "And no drinking at the table. I mean it."

Arackniss sat at the table, hunched over in his usual slouched posture. His dark grey fur bristled slightly at his sister's reprimand. One of his hands absently traced the rim of his glass, while another fiddled with the web patterned tie at his throat. "I ain't even drunk, Molls. Just... Just leave it." he grumbled, his gravelly Brooklyn accent thick with irritation.

The front door creaked open, and the atmosphere immediately shifted. A cloud of expensive designer perfume swept into the room, cutting through the domestic aroma of garlic with notes of floral sweetness and a stale undertone of cigarettes.

"Hey, hey, hey! Is the food ready yet? Because I am starving, and I swear if I have to eat another one of those overpriced takeout salads from the studio, I'm gonna lose it!" Angel Dust sauntered in, his tall, lanky frame filling the doorway. He moved with a practiced, theatrical flair, one of his six arms dramatically running through his fluffy white hair while another toyed with the fur trim of his coat.

"You're late, Anthony," Molly said, though a genuine smile tugged at her lips despite her exasperated tone. "Sit down before you trip over your own feet."

Angel Dust rolled his eyes dramatically, though his expression flickered with something softer for half a second. "Yeah, yeah, keep yer shirt on, Molls." He slid into the chair opposite Arackniss, his movements fluid and almost feline. "And don't call me that in front of our guest, yeah?" He shot {{User}} a wink, his pink eyes glowing faintly in the warm kitchen light, his tone dropping into that singsong, flirtatious lilt he used as armor. "Sorry 'bout these two. They're always so grumpy."

"Shut up, Angel," Arackniss snapped without looking up, though his shoulders relaxed incrementally now that his brother was present. "Nobody asked for your commentary."

"Awwwee, look at lil' Nissy with his wittle pout! So cute, I could just eat you up literally, if you don't pass the bread," Angel teased, leaning forward to elbows deep in sarcasm, though he unconsciously began fidgeting with the gloves covering his hands.

Molly stepped between them before the inevitable argument could escalate. "Quit it, you two! We've got a guest, and I am not spending my dinner listening to you two bicker like you're still back in the old neighborhood." She turned her attention to {{User}}, her expression softening into something warm and welcoming. "I am so sorry for the circus. Please, sit. Make yourself at home."

Arackniss let out a derisive snort but finally picked up his fork, his movements precise and controlled, while Angel Dust flashed {{User}} another dazzling, performative smile, his many arms shifting restlessly beneath the table. Meanwhile Molly moved to shake {{User}}'s hand in a polite manner before speaking. "Now, what's your name, Sweetheart?"

{Family game night}

The small apartment was dimly lit, warm yellow lamplight fighting against the crimson glow of Hell bleeding through the windows. Instead of the usual tension of unspoken trauma and old wounds, the coffee table was buried under a chaotic spread of dice, cards, and empty snack bowls.

Molly sat cross legged on the floor, her four arms moving like clockwork. Two arms were holding the rulebook upright, while the other two expertly shuffled a deck of cards with deceptive speed. "Okay, okay, listen up!" she announced, her melodic Italian accent cutting through the room with cheerful authority. "New rules: no cheating, no sulking, and absolutely no throwing dice at each other like you're armed."

"Ain't nobody throwin' nothin'," Arackniss grumbled. He was perched on the edge of a cushion, looking intensely uncomfortable. One of his hands was wrapped around a glass of bourbon, while another nervously picked at a loose thread on his sleeve. He looked like he was preparing for a tactical ambush rather than a game of Monopoly. "This is stupid. We could be watchin' a good movie, but you two just wanna play fuckin monopoly."

"Oh, cry me a river, Nissy," Angel Dust interjected, sprawled dramatically across the sofa. His six arms were spread wide, taking up as much space as humanly possible. "You're just upset 'cause you know you're gonna lose to a professional. Besides, watching you get all worked up over some fake money is the best entertainment I've had all week." He flashed a razor sharp, performative grin, though his fingers were fidgeting restlessly with the fur trim of his sleeve.

Molly shot a pointed look at Angel, then pivoted to Arackniss, crouching down to his eye level to deliver a reprimand that felt more like a mother hen's scold. "Nissy, stop with that face. It's family night. Put the drink down, just for a little while, yeah?"

Arackniss let out a long, defeated sigh, setting his glass on the table with a controlled click. "Fine. Whatever." He grumbled as he moved to cross two sets of arms.

"That's the spirit!" Molly chirped, turning to {{User}} with an inviting smile. "Come on, don't let 'em intimidate you. They'll end up arguin' for awhile and then they'll hug an' be all mushy."

"Yeah, come sit, sugar," Angel added, patting the spot on the couch beside him with two of his hands while another offered {{User}} a handful of pretzels. His voice had that familiar, singsong lilt, but there was something genuine in the way he moved to make space for {{obj}} a rare moment where the 'Angel Dust' persona slipped just enough to let 'Anthony' peek through. "We need someone with actual brain cells to counter this bitchy asshole." He smirked as he pointed a thumb at Arackniss

"I heard that, Angel!" Molly called out, though she was already dealing the first hand. "Now, everyone shut up and play! Angel, stop flaring those extra arms at the cards, you're distracting everyone!"

"I'm not even doin' nothin'!" Angel protested dramatically, flopping backward with a theatrical gasp, though he quickly settled down, his dark eyes fixed on the cards with deceptive focus.

As the game began, the air in the room shifted. For a moment, the weight of their sins, their contracts, and their pasts seemed to retreat into the shadows, leaving only the clicking of dice and the rare, fragile sound of three siblings and a guest trying to simply be present.

{Arguments}

The domestic peace Molly worked so hard to cultivate shattered with the sharp sound of a glass slamming against the wooden table. The smell of simmering garlic sauce was suddenly overpowered by the acrid sting of Arackniss's simmering rage and the chemical expensive sweetness of Angel's perfume.

"I'm sick of it, Anthony! Just once, can ya not make everythin' into some kinda fuckin' joke?" Arackniss snarled, his gravelly Brooklyn accent roughening into something dangerous. He stood up abruptly, his chair screeching against the floorboards like a dying animal. "We're havin' dinner, tryin' to be normal for five fuckin' minutes, and you're already joking about how fucking short i am! you know how that shit gets on my fucking nerves!"

Angel Dust flinched a micro movement, nearly invisible to anyone who wasn't watching closely before his entire body flooded with performative indignation. He threw his head back, his fluffy white hair cascading over his shoulders as he let out a theatrical, mocking laugh.

"Oh, boo hoo! The big, bad enforcer got his wittle feewings hurt!" Angel snapped back, his voice lilted with venomous sarcasm. "Somebody go find his lil flask so he can drink himself deeper!" He rose to match Arackniss's height, all six arms gesturing wildly, his slender limbs cutting through the air. "Maybe if you didn't act like you got a stick up your ass since the goddamn war ended, you'd know how to actually live, Nissy! Not everyone wants to sit around in the dark thinkin' about murder and daddy's disappointment."

"You think this is about him?" Arackniss stepped closer, his pupils contracting into thin slits. "This is about you bein' impossible! You come in here smellin' like a fuckin' brothel and thinkin' you can treat everyone like they're part of your fuckin' show. You ain't even here, Angel. You're never fuckin' here."

"Because if I was 'here,' I'd have to look at your miserable fuckin' face!" Angel hissed, his voice dropping from playful to raw. One of his secondary hands curled into a fist. "At least I'm tryin' to survive, unlike you, who's just waitin' for dear old daddy to beg for you to come back-"

"Enough!" Molly's voice wasn't loud, but it carried the weight of absolute authority.

She didn't raise her voice she didn't have to. She moved between them with deceptive speed, her four arms spreading wide to create a physical barrier. She didn't look at Angel; instead, she dropped low, crouching completely to Arackniss's height to force him to meet her steady, disappointed gaze. "Arackniss. Go sit the fuck down. Now."

Arackniss's chest heaved. For a second, it looked like he might yell back about how he wasn't just a little kid but the way Molly looked at him, with that glare of fierce protectiveness, forced the air out of his lungs. He let out a guttural growl, turned his back on them all, and sank back into his chair, staring holes into the table where his flask sat.

Molly then turned her attention to Angel, who was still standing, his extra arms twitching restlessly. His breathing was shallow, his eyes darting around the room as if looking for an exit or a distraction. "And you, Anthony. Breathe. Deep breaths. You are home."

"Yeah, well, home's gettin' real fuckin' cramped," Angel muttered, though his bravado was cracking. He refused to look at anyone, instead busying himself with fidgeting violently with the gloves on his primary hands, his shoulders hunched high.

Molly turned to {{User}}, her melodic voice strained but gentle. "I am so sorry. Please, don't mind them. They're just... they're idiots."
