Lucifer appreciation post
With the lonnnnng hiatus ahead and the heart stopping winter finale just behind us, I thought it’s about bloody time to make a post to appreciate the awesomeness that is Lucifer and to analyze where that awesomeness comes from. No, this is not going to be about the many layers of Lucifer Morningstar, the perfect mix of badass, vulnerable and dork that is Chloe Decker or the great ship Deckerstar. The good looks of Tom Ellis and Lauren German, their chemistry and his voice/singing, forget all that. Because the awesomeness of Lucifer is so much more than that.
It’s really one of the rare, rare shows where I love and care about all the characters and their interactions, even if the main focus is on one specific pair; that kind of shows I can count on one hand (Castle was another one). Let’s take a look at all the wonderful people!
I mean… come on. She had me at “What’s a hooker?”
Her immediate, fierce and unfaltering affection for Lucifer even though at first he responded with that eww-a-child-reaction. She’s so pure and unbiased and has an infallible instinct for who’s truly good. And she’s adorable.
What a development from utter contempt for humans and plotting behind Lucifer’s back to her fierce protectiveness about Chloe. And her vulnerability around Trixie. She takes being called human as an insult, but her struggle to find herself and her place in this world she’s been thrown into against her will makes her so utterly… well, human. And I love her relationship with Linda - whether it’s a brotp or a romantic ship, I haven’t yet decided, but I love seeing them together.
The self-righteous brother and his development: from being Dad’s willing tool to trying to be good. And he has his brother’s back.
She’s probably the character that surprised me the most - in the beginning, it looked like she wouldn’t be more than comic relief and Lucifer’s pillow talk… but she’s so much more now. Family therapist, and fiercely loyal friend. And she might be just a tiny human, but to protect her patient she stands up even to the highest celestial beings. Also, she’s wise and stoic towards the fact that she must have said why the fuck do I even bother on a daily basis since she’s having sessions with Lucifer.
aka Detective Douche. I disliked him from the beginning, and not only because he was trying to get between Lucifer and Chloe. He was a sleazeball. And a rotten cop. But then, somehow, he manned up, and I love how the writing for him changed subtly, but steadily, giving him depth. Suddenly, he was a valuable member of the team and was no longer portrayed as just the ridiculous wannabe-antagonist of Lucifer. I love their weird, beginning brotp - Douchifer for the win!
And I started to lowkey ship him with…
So precious, so clever and resourceful! And of course she has illegal sources, Dan!
Charlotte, I think? Ah, I’m a sucker for a good redemption. It took her long enough, but she got there, and I think she genuinely loves her sons. And her tottering around in the human world is so much fun to watch.
