speaking of dadboyhalo though, i like to think what happened was that bbh is like, a full demon right, and sapnaps a demon hybrid, which is why he looks more human. and other demons are judgemental. so bad takes the kid in because what else is he supposed to do??
except sapnap finds a way to sneak into the overworld eventually and makes friends with a boy with a smiley mask and a colorblind brit and instead of bad being overprotective he looks at the kids sapnaps trusted and goes "new sons? new sons" and now he has three children he has to deal with, two of which being human which means he is Struggling to know what to do and what to feed them
okay but like, seeing as manhunt is like.. partially canon in the dream smp or at least was implied to be, do you think they still try to have them?? do the four hunters just go to sam and ask... like:
sam: so let me get this straight. you four: a cult leader, an arsonist, a former king who sleeps through everything, and a cat. want to let dream out of his prison cell so you can hunt him down for fun. and you think asking me and saying please at the end will work?
alright alright, demon culture thing because oh boy do i have a hell of a lot of it. most of it is written on paper because i communicate my thoughts easier on paper which means sometimes I just Cannot read my handwriting so apologies
ty to @discountskeppy for letting me ramble :]
demons used to live in the end but migrated to the nether because one did something to offend the ender dragon, however they didn't want to fight her so they fled instead. their relations are still considered good
they speak galactic, and it's similar to ender (the language endermen speak)
they live for a long time, and time can go by weirdly for them
they're considered extinct and all human sources of them living are biased against them. some do exist still, they just live under the lava far away from where others could find them.
they're fire resistant
3 forms- a true form, their normal form, and their human form.
the true one is anywhere from 6-14 ft tall and can have multiple eyes. they look less human and more creature like
their normal form is the one they usually walk around in. it can range anywhere from only vaguely humanoid to basically human passing depending on the demon
the human form is, of course, human looking. their ears and horns stay normal but the horns usually shrink. they typically have an additional trait that stays demonic, most commonly their tail or eyes.
for bbh it's his eyes, which stay a voidless white, and for sapnap it's his tail
demons looks depend on which biome they're from and so do their true forms heights
sapnap is half crimson forest half basalt delta. his horns look like deltas' but they have the vines and fungi covering them like crimson ones do, and his tail resembles the crimsons' ones more
bbh is full basalt deltas. his tail is less thin than sap's
they do have halos but usually they aren't visible
they can add stars to their halos. hunting withers is considered a sport to them and the more withers u kill, the more stars are on the halo
due to that most demons are just. totally chill whenever they see a wither
jewelry is an important part of the culture. jewels and gold are constantly worn on their horns.
marriages are common however most of the time they're platonic. nothing against gay demons bc in the nether homophobia doesn't exist
when proposing, they give their partner(s) a bouquet of wither roses and a wither skeleton skull. rings are exchanged after the ceremony and are always worn proudly and openly. to hide them was a sign u were uncertain abt the marriage, so it was looked down upon
when courting, knives with special inscriptions are given on the fourth date and only after that are they allowed to consider marriage
if a demon marries a non demon(s), their partner is immediately accepted into the family and given many gifts and usually introduced to demonic culture almost immediately as well. that's less a cultural thing and more just a common happening tho
quartz is a valuable material to them. when you give a demon quartz, it's like saying "I care deeply for you (in a family way, platonically or romanticly)" usually it's worn on their tails like a little bell. the more quartz, the more u care abt them
bad nearly just. died when he saw how much quartz skeppy was using for the mansion and sapnap had to explain to skeppy what it meant bc bad was too busy going "AAAAA"
the idea of demons being like large cats is like.. rlly funny to me because imagine being karl or quackity and going to bad and skeppys mansion to meet sapnaps parents and bads just. a whole 9 feet 6 inches tall.
sapnap and skeppy are treating it like it's absolutely normal and when karl is like "wtf" skeppy just goes "no dw he's not dangerous like this" and he throws a ball of yarn and bad just... leaps after it with no hesitation.
