Yo is anyone else tired of the Chihuahua joke with Luke? Like at first it was pretty funny and would get a chuckle out of my from time to time, but they've worn it down so much it's just annoying.
We get it, you like comparing Luke to a dog, haha funny joke please laugh. It just feels lazy at this point and it turns mean way too often for comfort. Not to mention they shoehorn it in at inappropriate places and it totally kills the tone and pacing.
I feel the same way about it that I feel about the "haha mammon stupid" joke. It was kinda funny sometimes but they drove it so into the ground that I have to turn off the game and take a break or else I'll go insane.
Summary: After Luke's night terror (went into detail in chapter one) Simeon gets all existential about Lilith. Little does he know things are just getting started...
TW: implied PTSD, implied nightmares, lying, referenced lying to a child, guilt, minor war flashbacks and loneness
Luke had cried himself back to sleep in Simeon's arms. The following morning he woke up to Simeon still holding him, wide awake with a troubled look on his face.
"Simeon..?"
Luke rubbed his eyes, yawning quietly. Simeon looked down at Luke, his expression softening slightly.
"Good morning Luke. Are you feeling alright?"
Simeon asked, attempting to veil the prevalent exhaustion in his voice. Luke tilted his head, rubbing away his tear streaks.
"Did you stay up all night?.. You could've gone back to bed once I fell asleep.."
Simeon quickly attempted to brush away Luke's worry.
"Oh no Luke I really didn't mind. Besides, I couldn't just leave you here when you kept waking up like that.."
This made Luke sit up, the confusion he felt prevalent on his face.
"I kept walking up..?"
Simeon nodded, letting go of Luke so he could move.
"Every hour or so after the first one.. You probably don't remember it, you weren't awake very long.. But every time you'd wake up greatly upset and say.."
Simeon trailed off.. He glanced away from Luke to briefly compose himself before looking back to Luke.
".. Well.. What were you dreaming about anyways?"
Luke fell silent. He didn't want to lie, but he also didn't want to risk Simeon feeling bad or himself looking babyish..
"Oh you know.. Just mean... Demons… And stuff.."
He stuttered through an excuse, glancing away. Simeon frowned. He wanted to press further, knowing there was more to it, but he didn't. He glanced away and nodded.
They tried to go about their day as usual. Luke did all his work, he went to R.A.D, told off the demons for teasing him. Simeon on the other hand let Luke's words echo around his head. He couldn't get the night's events out of his mind..
He tried to convince himself that it was only natural he would linger on the events. Luke was a child and Simeon was his legal guardian. No guardian wants to see their child in pain. It had hurt Simeon to see Luke look so confused and scared. To see him cry and desperately try to hold onto Simeon as if he were going to disappear.
But even Simeon recognized that wasn't the end of it.
"Why didn't you protect me?" Were words he was not prepared to hear. He tried not to think about questions like that often.. it did him no good now. And yet still, when Luke looked at him like that and asked him such a question with such sincerity.. He couldn't stop the uncomfortable thoughts from cycling through.
After he sent Luke off to bed that night he found himself in the kitchen, finally alone.
He poured himself a glass of water and sat on a stool by the counter.
He sighed heavily, giving himself a moment to think..
Why didn't he protect her?
He grimaced, as he had no answer. No answer that he hadn't already played. Lilith had been his little sister too. Even if what she had done was dangerous, he knew the fathers punishment was harsh.
He missed her. He missed her a lot.. And yet he was still an angel. He didn't fall for her. He had failed her and now she was gone.
The reminder had hurt more coming from Luke.
He could recall a time just after he'd lost his brothers where he was alone, much like he was now in the kitchen…
"I couldn't do that again.."
He mumbled to himself.
"Couldn't do what?"
Simeon nearly knocked over his cup as he jumped. He turned around to see Solomon standing in the doorway, a smirk on his face.
Simeon sighed gently. He shook his head and turned back to his untouched glass of water. Solomon was chuckling to himself until he realized that Simeon wasn't responding further. He frowned slightly and asked
"What's the matter, Simeon?"
Simeon hesitated. He glanced away before turning back around with a smile plastered on.
"Nothing's really the matter. Just having an off day I guess."
Solomon's expression didn't change. He walked over, stopping directly in front of Simeon. Simeon awkwardly adjusted his seat back a bit.
"I heard Luke crying last night. I doubt it didn't affect you when you're acting like this."
Solomon's tone seemed a little… off. It made Simeon's smile twist.
"It was just a nightmare Solomon. He was scared, and I understand why. He's just a boy.."
Solomon shook his head.
"That wasn't the part I was referring to.."
He began to walk towards the door, ignoring the confusion on Simeon's face. The angel stopped him before he left.
"Wait, Solomon, what do you mean?"
There was yet another silence. Solomon finished his walk to the back door before looking back to Simeon, a worried look prevalent on his face.
"I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss these as simple nightmares."
Simeon tilted his head, thinking to himself a moment before saying
"Well I suppose they'd be closer to night terrors by the way Luke was reacting to it.."
Solomon paused.
"Did he ever tell you what the dreams were about?"
He sounded curious, as per usual with events like this. But the undertones of concern only worried Simeon further.
"Just.. demons, I assume."
Solomon frowned. He tried to look Simeon in the eyes but the angel was all too eager to avoid that. He sighed quietly.
"Well.. Whatever Luke may be dreaming about, I have a feeling it may be further than night terrors as well. I know it's nothing substantial, but I've lived long enough to develop a knack for these things.. If you need any help, you know where to find me. I'm going to go see Asmo.."
Solomon walked out of the door, leaving Simeon alone once more, with even more on his mind then the first time.
He took a sip of his water, but it only made him feel more sick. He shook his head and sighed, getting up to pour the water out in the sink.
Mere minutes after Solomon's departure, the question from earlier snaked its way back to the forefront of his mind. He sighed heavily.
"Even after all that, this is all we can come up with.."
He chuckled but it was more out of frustration than it was amusement. He decided he should simply go to bed. Hopefully clear his mind from those haunting words and be able to forget about this all by tomorrow.
He walked down the hallway to retreat to his bed. But as he walked by Lukes room, he was stopped dead in his tracks. He heard a familiar sobbing once more.
Since I am a parent irl I know my parenting style and I know exactly how Luke would be as my adopted son. At first he'd insist that he's a "grown up" and for me to treat him as a mature individual. And I'd respect that bc its phase one.
I'd always ask if he wanted to help me with things such as of he could hold Mimi and help me make cookies and do chores. He'd be responsible! And then very slowly I'd gain his trust and start asking him child appropriate tasks. "Luke would you want to race me with these toy cars?" and ofc he'd fight against it but then he'd see me and Mimi having fun and he wouldn't wanna be left out... 😈
Then I'd call him 'baby' like I do with Mimi and he'd be like "I'm not a baby!!" and then I'd stop. But ofc I'd call Mimi my crazy baby-waby and give her a million kisses... And Luke would wanna get some affection too! So now that's my baby boy!
Slowly but surely I'd teach Luke it's okay to be 10 and be treated like you're ten and to have a semi normal ten year olds experiences and life even if it's just temporary.
What I'm tryna say is Luke would be my spoiled little baby boy who talks to me about pokemon cards and explains to me all the different dinosaurs on dinosaur train and why they were designed that way. I will get my son to infodump about different baking techniques and we will watch the gbbs together and make cheesy garlic bread and dinner rolls and cookies and he will be a child for fucking once!!
The first time my boy has a temper tantrum I'm gonna cry proud tears because wow, I really got to him!! If I can get Luke and Mimi to have a normal big brother-little sister relationship I'd happily sob uncontrollably for years.
yall i do not care if luke is pretty much the same age as lucifer
he inhabits the body of a twelve year old.
this is not hollywood aging, this is not edward cullen being almost eighteen but 100 years old mentally.
this is a twelve year old whose been twelve since before the fallen angels fell. he behaves like a twelve year old. he is, at best, an immortal preteen. he's barely pubescent. you can't even say he's an adult in a child's body. he's a child in a child's body.
if you perceive this child as a sexual object, get help.
Not to mention Luke wasn't even born until after the war (seeing as he doesn't know who Lilith is, only knew about the brothers through stories, is largely misiformed from how the Celestial realm twisted those stories,, and has only seen pictures of Lucifer in his angel form) so all the other characters where entire adults before he even came into existence. If that doesn't make it clear he's a child I don't know what does. Not to mention the game makers came out and said he's supposed to be 10
May I request Barbatos and Simeon teaching Luke that forcing gender roles is stupid after some human kid mde him feel bad for being "too girly" (some humans I know wil be jerks to boys who like to bake or do their hair nice or heaven forbid wear a dress if they want to, so I need some wholesome "fuck gender roles" vibes rn)
Fuck gender roles, they are just... so stupid.
Warnings: Dumb gender roles, and slightly spoilers to season 3? of obey me. Doesn't go over any big story stuff, just a few small facts.
Luke was helping Simeon at their cafe in the human realm, despite how difficult it could be at times he enjoyed it greatly. Especially the fact he was able to make and sell his bake goods and see how many people enjoy it.
Simeon was working at the front taking orders and serving the customers while Luke was making the coffee and keeping track of the treats that he had made this morning.
It was a little after lunch and there wasn't many customers, So Simeon and barbatos where sitting in the conor talking while luke played on his DDD behind the register.
A young girl around lukes age came in and quickly walked up to the glass display with all the treats. Happily looking over them all when trying to pick out one to buy.
Luke smile proudly "They are all taste as great as they look! I've had them all taste tested by one of the baker in the whole world!" He was talking about barbatos, very proud that he was able to make bakes that even barbatos enjoyed.
The young girl gave him a small confused look. "Oh! that sounds nice... But why did you have them taste tested... wouldn't the one baking them do that?"
Luke proudly pointed at himself "I'm the baker! I've made all these treats! I make fresh ones everyday!"
The young girl laughed slightly, which caused luke to pouts a bit confused as to why she is laughing "You can't be the baker! You're a boy.. only girls can bake!" Luke just looked even more confused as the girl continued to talk "Why are you lying? is your mother the one who makes them and you just pass her the ingredients."
Luke frowned "I'm not a lier! I do bake! why does me being a boy have anything to do with it!" Barbatos and Simeons attention were soon drawn to the two arguing.
The little girl was adamant that Luke couldn't be the baker, while luke denied and started to tear up at the girls words. Simeon come up and politely ask her to leave as barbatos moved to comfort Luke.
He was crying as barbatos held him, babbling about how he wasn't a liar as barbatos comforted him.
Once he calmed down slightly and explained what happened. "Oh luke.. I'm so sorry... some humans can believe such foolish things.. but none of them are truth.. No matter if you are a boy of a girl you can do whatever you would like" Simeon explained gently.
"but... but why would they think that! I didn't do anything wrong!" barbatos nodded, moving to hold luke.
"I know.. it is very dumb.. and you do not have to listen to those people. Everything will be okay.." Luke looked up to him, before nodding.
"... can we go bake something together.." Simeon and barbatos both agreed, doing anything to cheer him up.
