I started writing these out in the tags of another post for some reason and now am just not stopping, so I figured I'd make my own post.
Lucifer is dog-coded. He's a standoffish previously abused shelter dog that sits on the other side of the couch from you and sighs wistfully.
Mammon is dog-coded. He's a hyper as fuck golden lab that WILL get on your lap, any obstacles be damned.
Levi is cat-coded. He's the sort of cat that is always hiding somewhere. You never fuckin' see him, but his food bowl periodically needs refilling and sometimes if you wake up suddenly in the night, you'll find him curled up with you.
Satan is cat-coded. He's a tom cat that's usually fairly personable, but has strong boundaries that he will enforce with violence with zero warning.
Asmo is cat-coded. He's the sort of cat that shoves what you're doing out of the way to come lick himself while he sits on your lap and if you don't pet him while this is happening, he will bite you.
Beel is dog-coded. He's a huge, subdued guard dog that is really excited on walks or at mealtimes, but otherwise just lays beside you either napping or just wagging his tail. Champion at begging for table scraps, though.
Belphie is cat-coded. He's the lazy as fuck cat you have to periodically wake up because you're worried he died. Nope. Just asleep. Watched him roll over, fall off the couch, and not even change positions before falling back asleep a few minutes ago.
Diavolo is dog-coded. He's the sort of dog that's greeting everyone in the park with his tail wagging so hard his whole body is swaying. Literally dragging his owner behind him if he has to. Unstoppable Love Machine.
Barbatos is cat-coded. The sort of cat who was socialized later in life and really isn't into this whole 'being a pet' nonsense, but who you know likes you well enough because he'll always be sitting as far away as you as he can possibly be while still on the same piece of furniture.
Mephisto is dog-coded. He's a working dog of some sort... personally I think a well-bred pointer. The sort of dog that if you try and have as a house pet he will just start making up his own rules to follow because he doesn't know what the fuck to do with this person that's just sitting on the couch. Will periodically find him Pointing intently at a frog on the window or something.
Raphael is cat-coded. Regularly scares the shit out of you because he's never made a single noise in his whole life and will just Appear. By and large, extremely independent, needs a lot of things to do or he gets stressed. Likes to climb a lot. Surprisingly cuddly, though. When he does rest, he prefers to do it sprawled out on your lap.
Simeon is dog-coded. He's the sweetest dog to ever live, just gently laying his head on your leg to politely ask for pets. He was in line to be a service dog, but while training, someone threatened His Person and he fucked them up majorly, so he ended up being fostered instead and was adopted into the first house he stayed in. Will lick away your tears when your sad and turn any burglars into corpses for you.
Luke is dog-coded, the jokes are right. I don't think he's a chihuahua so much as he's just a puppy, though. He's a lil baby border collie that is overflowing with energy and getting used to everything ever. Loves cuddles, loves playing, loves you! Deeply Suspicious of new things before getting used to them, though. Top contender for being terrified of vacuum cleaners.
Solomon is cat-coded. The sort of cat that's always jumping onto cluttered surfaces and kicking off every single object onto the floor, then just plopping down and looking at the mess he made. The king of crashing headlong into the ground after fucking up a leap and just laying there cleaning himself like he meant to do it. The sort of cat that hides under furniture only to dart out and attack your ankles, then run away.
Thirteen is cat-coded. Many cats bond with One Person. She was feral and decided she liked MC. Proceeded to move in and would not be dissuaded. She's a spazz that loves to play and cuddle. Extremely affectionate as well! Unless you're not MC. Worse, if you're getting close to MC. ALSO the sort to hide under furniture and dart out, but it's with genuine bloodlust. Get Out Of Her House, Stop Touching Her Human.
Barbatos: My lord, I must advise against putting Lucifer and his brothers in charge of a news broadcast. I sincerely doubt their ability to stay on topic.
Mephisto: While I'm loathe to disagree with any of your brilliant ideas, I'm with Barbatos on this one... they don't have the competency for reporting.
Diavolo: No, no. You aren't seeing my vision here. The news paper is still running just fine for actual news... putting the brothers in charge of Shadow News 999 is for entertainment purposes!
Mephisto: I.... see....
Barbatos: -smiling through the migraine- How much of this is because you wish to see Lucifer in new situations?
Diavolo: -laughter-
I'd love 12 and 8 for obey me, whoever you have ideas for. I loved the concept and character design but stopped playing when I couldn't get past one of the battle levels so I love hearing about people's hc!
girl i feel that... the card leveling is brutal. i'd have quit years ago based on bullshit gameplay alone of Barbatos hadn't kicked in the door to my brain and made a home out of it. Alas... I'm beholden to Solmare. Good news is they're releasing more traditional visual novel(s?) later this year, so you might be able to get back into it if you have the desire to! :D
As for the questions, i have ideas for all of them, but so i'm not ranting here all night... I'll do my top five lads. So, we've got Barbatos, Simeon, Beelzebub, Leviathan, and Solomon. May have. Just tried to add Barbatos to the list twice... jesus christ, Squid.
8. smell/personal scent
Normal: Barbatos takes great care to not really smell like much of anything. Like.... canonically. He doesn't use scents of any sort, and is always very clean. If he smells like anything at all, it's probably the tea he's been drinking, or the sweets he's been baking.
Also: since I know what you're all about, allow me to take the liberty to add what I think they'd smell like as omegas as well. XD For Barbatos... I think he'd have a sharp, herbal scent, with a base of damp soil. If you get close enough, and he's sufficiently worked up, there'd be a very sweet tone that permeates the scent, but it's rarely noticed.
Normal: Simeon smells by and large like whatever shampoo he's been using, and I think he'd rotate them. I think he'd like citrusy and sweet ones. If he's been baking with Luke, you can also tell by the way he smells, and he has a permenant scent of coffee that follows him around, which is way more intense when he's running The Angel's Halo (a cafe he runs for a while in OG. Not sure how far you got ehehe.)
Omega: While Barb has that underlying sweet note to his scent, Simeon's is fully saccharine. Like... 'who is actively making caramel nearby??' sort of smell. It has the same bitter notes as well that call to mind coffee or the light burning of the sugar with caramel.
Normal: Beel... honestly usually smells like sweat and fried foods. He showers often, but he also works out and eats basically constantly, so it's sort of inevitable. His deodorant does the best it can, so it's largely overwhelmed by a sharp pine scent, but if you just passed him on the street, no one would blame you for wondering if he'd just been working out in the kitchen of a burger joint.
Omega-wise... hm. Honestly, I think his would be fairly subtle, sort of like how our real life pheromones work, ramped up to 100. He's there and you're trying to figure out why the fuck you're SO horny about it. He does have a scent, but it's hard to put a specific set of descriptors to it. It's like... someone you love is making your favourite meal in the other room. On top of the typical turned onnedness that I'm pretty sure comes with these things (my own poking around in omegaverse stuff is pretty limited because i'm hella picky lmao) it also comes with a pervasive sense of being loved. My soft heart likes to think that part only edges in if he does actually love you... cute.
Normal: Leviathan is another one who's canonically anal about not being stinky, despite constantly calling himself such. He's a very proud otaku, but he's incredibly occupied with being mocked for such, and seems hellbent on countering as many of the things he expects to be mocked for preimptively. I expect he uses whatever soaps his idols have promoted most recently, so what he smells like changes with that, but it tends to usually be sweet or floral or fruity.
Omega: Heavy rain. Like... apocalyptic storms sort of rain. You're not sure if the scent of ozone is part of it or if he's short circuiting so badly his magic is going a bit haywire, but it's there too. There's a saltiness to it, but not the fishiness often associated with the sea. There's also a discordant note of a very sweet smelling flower that fades in and out as you consider the smell.
Normal: Solomon is the most inconsistent smelling out of everyone. He does have a cologne he likes to wear, but he doesn't always do so. His experiments insure all sorts of strange smells follow him around. They may or may not have magical effects of their own... and god help you if he's been cooking... The worst he ever smells is after a research binge, because he has a tendency to forget he has needs, and he'll show up after a week of being AWOL not realizing more than a few hours passed, smelling like hell and whatever he was fucking with. The best he ever smells is 1. date with MC or 2. planning on trying to schmooze someone into a pact. Then he's pristine levels of clean and wearing his pleasant cologne that Asmodeus picked out to compliment his natural scent.
Omega: Mmm... so. Old libraries and basements? Kinda? It's somehow the primary smell, which is ridiculous given that the undernotes are a fascinating blend of spices. There's a bitter note that reminds you of cleaner, or maybe ink. Acrid, but not overpoweringly so.
12. skills and abilities
Barbatos: it would genuinely be easier to list things he can't do. He's a perfectionist with time powers. He's older than sin. I think before he locked himself into one timeline, any and all mistakes he made were met with 1. obliterating the timeline in which they occurred, if possible. and 2. fucking off to another one to become an expert in whatever he fucked up on before returning to the moment just before fucking up and instead doing it flawlessly. This is a man that accuses himself of being a failure of a butler because you bought him a bath bomb, assuming it means you've noticed he was tired. This is a man who suggests he should be fired for being slightly late to a movie because Beel broke his watch. This is a man who randomly texts you to make arbitrary choices for him. I will not, cannot, be convinced he has ever had any sort of healthy relationship with making mistakes. However: canonically, he's ass at acting, which is very funny. He's viewed as super shady and deceptive but if you ask him to pretend to do something out of line with his character he's so so so fucking bad at it. He's also bad at being normal, or near rodents.
I'm going to veer off from what we know from canon here, though if you want that too, let me know. He doesn't do it often, but he's really good at gambling, especially at group card games. His poker face is (canonically) immaculate, and he's super good at reading people. Genuinely an amazing liar. His ability to fight is never really shown in canon anywhere, but being what he was, and with his lil rapier, I think he could probably put most anyone on the ground extremely quickly. He's fast, he's agile, he's graceful, and if you piss him off enough to fight you, those traits will have you fully knocked out, if not dead, within seconds. He's good at both running and swimming, and alternates between them to stay in shape. Luke joins him most of the time. He gets better workouts when swimming, because he can leave Luke to swim at his own pace. He doesn't mind having to slow down for him on his runs, though, and finds the time spent watching Luke try so so hard to get better far more valuable to him than the workout he could have gotten if the younger angel had stayed back.
Beel is a really good surfer. I will not be taking notes on this. Has been known to pull fish out of the waves while shredding them and just eat a fuckin' raw fish without missing a beat. Fully not even phased. Kinda upsetting to watch, in an awe inspiring way. He's also really good at diffusing fights. He plays peace keeper with his family more than anyone, though Lucifer puts a stop to more things than him... his methods are less about keeping the peace and more about solving the problem as quickly as possible. Beel is THE brother everyone goes to if they need to talk. It's usually like 20 minutes of impassioned ranting on the part of the upset person while Beel eats chips and pats their back, at the end of which he offers extremely simple advice in 10 words or less that leave everyone feeling kinda stupid they didn't think of. Also prone to just. Taking manual labor jobs. Has probably had a hand in the construction of 85% of new buildings in the Devildom since he fell. Finds it really satisfying, both in the moment and at the end. Something about seeing a functional building he worked with a team to make is really great for him. Also does work on the repairs for the HoL, which are numerous and constantly needed. Can fix pretty much anything if he can be assed to do so, but he likes smaller projects that don't need a team a lot less.
You typically would actually go to Levi for those anyways. If it's mechanical or electronic, he can fix it, but unless the universe aligns and you catch him in the perfect moment, he WILL throw a fit about it. Pay him accordingly and it will get done. Also: if it is online, he can find it. Can and will dig up 20,000 year old posts to win arguments over wifus. More usefully, he can find anything you want to BUY if there's a listing online. As far as digital media goes, he can procure anything as well, legally or otherwise. On one occasion, a lost episode of an old anime was found but the finder was trying to hold onto it to make some money about it when he realized it was being sought. Levi retrieved it, posted it anonymously, and left the finder's computer in fucking shambles. Actually his next three computers, since Levi wormed a curse into the virus and it passed itself on to anything compatible in the area of original infection, until the other demon caught on and hired a curse breaker about it. His memory is also VERY good. If he's paid enough attention to something, he DOES remember it. And if he misses an appointment, no matter what he says, he didn't forget. He probably had an anxiety spiral and bailed... or just decided anime was more important.
Solomon is also scary good at a lot of things, but they tend to be BIG things. All Of Magic. Large scale diplomacy. Manipulation, information gathering, problem solving on a grand scale. If he looks at a smaller part of the picture, he tends to not know what to do with it. Despite his obvious dreams of being a malewife, he canonically sucks at everything that entails. Can't cook, can't clean... could probably summon a pactmate to make them do it, but like. That has some problems that come with it. He's REALLY smart, though, and he CAN find a solution to any problem he's assed enough to fix, but his priorities are sort of strange sometimes. NSFW but the man is a hoe and he's VERY good at it. Dude's lived forever, had 1000 wives, and has a longterm situationship with his pact mate: The Avatar of Lust. He's a good fuck, PRETTY much no matter what. The exception is uh. If more raw feelings are involved? I maintain that, when faced with genuine affection, he becomes wildly overwhelmed very quickly. Safe words out of the raunchiest sex of your life because you said you loved him and meant it. He's a really good writer of fiction as well, but he rarely does so. Life experience + an ability to bullshit and lie through his teeth means he can improve a genuinely super interesting story on the fly. If you need a large group of young children occupied for a long time, plop Sol in front of them and he'll pull a story out of his ass that will have every single one of them enraptured, watching reactions and adjusting as he goes. Also ironically very good at street magic and it's entirely because he thinks it's super funny. Every time an up and coming sorcerer asks him for a demonstration of his powers, he puts on a big show of doing a card trick or something.
Sorry, Barb sent me forward a year in time as a punishment for goofing off too much. That’s totally what happened… I definitely didn’t have a handful of crashouts and physical issues and just procrastinated for a year. That would be ridiculous and there’s definitely not a blog anywhere with a year worth of me bitching about said things.
Anywho! I received a request for a matchup from the cool and handsome @darowanthetree ages ago, and I’m finally delivering on it lmao
Hopefully the remaining requests will follow in the coming days.
Anyways!!! After a hard fight, your Squid-assigned boyfriend isssss….. -drum roll-
Beelzebub!
The last two contenders were him and Dia… you apparently just need a giant red-headed sweet boy in my eyes. In the end, Dia is a bit more shifty, prone to manipulation, and couldn’t really do public affection, and for these reasons I’ve deduced the hungry hungry himbo is the better option for you personally.
Honestly, Beel’s just kinda a good guy. He has his issues, sure, but he’ll earnestly do his best to compensate for all of them because he loves you and he loves taking care of you. I genuinely think, from what you sent me, the biggest issue between him and you will be the fact that he does tend to make loud noises quite often, though he doesn’t mean to… keep him well fed and the strange, monstrous growling of his stomach will remain quiet and he’ll be happy to boot.
You’re both people who appear gruff and unapproachable, but are extremely sweet caretakers to the ones you love… I can see the two of you fussing over each other, and honestly? You could both use it. You both give so much of yourselves for others, it’ll be nice to recharge with each other, undeniably cared for and loved.
He’d literally never force you into anything… honestly if he wanted something done he’d be more likely to just try and do it himself. It’d be up to you to step in to help, but I think that’d work out even better, because it means you get to choose and feel helpful because of it and he wouldn’t be expecting the help and feel loved because it was offered anyways. If he ever asked you for something and said no, the absolute worst case scenario you’d have to deal with is He Might Look Sad About it (which… to be fair is a pretty powerful thing. The twins both have killer puppydog eyes) but he wouldn’t push you.
He’s GREAT for just sitting and doing your own things near or on each other. He doesn’t feel the need to fill a silence and is literally always happy to be touching you. The sight of you sprawled across his lap on the couch while he eats chips and you play on your phone is extremely common at the HoL. If you join him on his workouts, he’ll do pushups while you sit on his back. The man was considering buying a car for the sole purpose of benchpressing it… it is physically impossible for a human to be too heavy for him to do this, so no matter what you weigh, it’s not even vaguely a burden to him. He’s just happy you’re there and he’s even happier he can feel you.
Would bench press YOU if you were into it.
Would also carry you around in public with no questions asked. He’d look smug about it. Feed him snacks by hand while he’s carrying you around? Might straight up propose on the spot, this is the best thing that’s ever happened to him.
He’s not super into shopping, but he’d come with you and carry your finds for you happily, and he can carry a LOT. He’d point out things he thinks you might like and probably get gifts for his brothers while you’re out. End (and probably begin) the outing with a stop by a food joint and he’s just had a perfect day. He’d start coming home with gifts for you once he gets an idea of what you like, too… if he sees something he knows you’d love and it’s out of his price range he’ll fully just wander off for like a week to do a bunch of work so he can get it for you. He’d explain he was working if you texted him, though, and would be perfectly happy to talk on a call, but you would probably have to initiate that… he does tend to have tunnel vision when he’s set his sights on something.
He’d build shelves for your collections, too. Good, sturdy ones, customized to the space you have and the items as well. If you run out of space in your room, suddenly there are shelves on his side of his bedroom. I think it’s probably purely a headcanon of mine, but I know in my heart Beel is good at building things like furniture… that man can make good money in not much time by working construction, which is also a work out, and there is ZERO chance he’d pass that up once he knew.
You're both quite extroverted and community minded, which makes me think you’d both enjoy a great deal of similar activities. I think the two of you would be equally likely to go on a spontaneous adventure as you would be to have a lazy day at home. If you cook, great! You can cook together. If you don’t, also totally fine! Beel loves to feed his loved ones and he’ll make extra huge portions to make absolutely sure you get some. Dinner at the HoL is something of a feeding frenzy with the seven of them, but you ALWAYS get a portion of your favourite foods that are being served that night because Beel will make damn sure of it.
How much he tries to take the food you’re eating is a pretty good gauge of how down bad he is, actually. When you first meet, he will fully steal your plate if he thinks he can get away with it. That progresses to snatching parts of your meals, then asking for bites, then not asking at all. There's a step beyond that, and it’s when he’ll fully bite his brothers for trying to steal food from you. Goes all starry eyed and lovey dovey if you offer him a bite of what you’re eating anyways, especially if you feed it to him by hand.
He’s stoic as fuck, but it’s not hard for people to figure out he’s in love with you, once it happens. He no longer has resting bitch face if and only if he’s looking at you, or talking about you, or thinking about you… everyone who talks to him frequently has at some point experienced him just fully tuning them out and suddenly looking so soft, at which point they know he’s not heard a thing they’ve said and won’t for a while. Has just left to go find you mid-conversation on three occasions (once to Mammon and twice to Levi)
Also would be so good for your perfectionism… and also any self-esteem issues, honestly. He compliments you so simply, so earnestly, it feels like he’s saying an obvious fact. Consider: he catches you trying to make something for him. You’re stressing over every flaw, everything needed to fix it, to make it better, to make it PERFECT. You try to hide it when he comes in, not wanting him to see it in such a state, but he sees it anyways. You apologize and say it’ll be better when it’s done. He says ‘it’ll be perfect no matter what because you’re making it for me :)’ Oh. Well. What do you say to that? If you try to prod at the flaws he’s just like ‘that doesn’t matter’ because to him, it doesn’t. You, who he loves and adores, are making him a thing. He’s very happy because of that. The details outside of you making him a thing are pretty much irrelevant… it’s a thing from you.
Now. For the spicy bits…
He’s perfectly happy to top… once he’s sure you can take him. Might uh. Might need to work up to that. A high libido is no problem for him at ALL though. Even if he’s not in the mood to fuck outright, he’s literally always happy to have his mouth on you. He’s also open to trying new things, but he’s not likely to bring them up himself at first. Telling him you like experimenting will get him thinking on things he might like to try, though… and there are things he is into and does want to try, but as tends to happen, the fact that he’s into them makes them embarrassing and it’ll be well into the relationship before he actually manages to bring them up. Logically, he trusts you and knows it won’t be an issue, but there’s an emotional block there. If you happen to hit on one of his kinks without him bringing it up, it won’t be hard to figure out you struck a chord. Bright red and hard as a rock, only responding with grunts until you pester more out of him or just continue… he’ll break pretty quickly if you just push a little, and then you get to see an extra needy, eager Beelzebub, which I promise is a treat.
What are the kinks? Well, get to experimenting and find out :P
A further compatibility: he’s so deeply NOT into degradation. Not much of a sadist either, but could be compelled to enjoy the marks left by rougher sex if you yourself like them… honestly could be compelled to like a LOT of things if you like them, even if he’d have never gone for them otherwise.
And if you’re in more of a cuddly mood? Great! Loves cuddles. Would absolutely prefer to never sleep without you in his arms again. If you’re in a cuddly mood and he’s horny? No problem…. he’ll be right back. Give him like… ten minutes and you’ll get your cuddles lol He’s not the best at self-control, and with something like that he will take no risks. He’s not one to push your boundaries at all. Once he knows about them, those are impenetrable forces he will not even try to touch. If he brushes up against one? Takes ten steps away from it and apologizes. He also knows his limits pretty well and is very good at taking precautions to make sure you’re as comfortable and safe as possible, because hurting you on accident is literally his worst nightmare…
Which he does still have quite often, by the by. But when he jerks awake and the first thing he sees is you, he calms down so much quicker. You’re so so grounding for him in those moments, even if you don’t wake up with him. He’ll watch you for a while, letting his heart rate return to normal… maybe go get a snack, maybe just curl up around you a bit tighter, knowing you’re safe, you’re all safe, and you’ve got each others backs.
Hi Marcus!!! This is part one of our trade, until I manage to actually read the rest of Twisted Wonderland and get comfortable with the characters. To anyone who might be reading that ISN’T Marcus, we’re doin’ a match up trade! I’ve never done one, or received one, but I’m very excited for both!
Despite having followed you for quite some time, I cannot even begin to remember if you have a particular blorbo or not, so you’re getting my honest feelings based just on your application and our conversation c: I HOPE that’s the correct spirit of things… if not, I apologize!
I read things over multiple times and ultimately decided that Simeon would be a great match for you! I’d whittled the list down to him and Barbatos, who are my personal top two, but I don’t think it’s because my own interests are showing. Simeon won out over Barb specifically because he’s far more open with his feelings, in the end… even if Barbatos would disagree. Let’s dig into the rest of the reasons I think Simeon would be a delightful match for you!
Firstly, you have similar hobbies, which is always a delight to share with your loved ones. Given how shy you are, I think that would almost certainly be how you and Simeon first start spending time together! You do some baking at the HoL, Beel obviously gushes about it, Luke hears, Luke tells Simeon, and now you’ve got Simeon stopping you in the halls of RAD to see if you can’t help him perfect a human world recipe he wanted to try to show Luke. As it turns out, Purgatory Hall is much more mellow than the House of Lamentation, and Simeon is lovely company that’s very easy to get along with. Suddenly, you’re spending more time there…
You both compliment and contrast each other quite well. The things you struggle with, he either ALSO struggles with, or would be very good at soothing. Anger issues you’re doing your best to keep in check? Want several million years worth of advice he’s racked up while struggling to keep his own wrath in check? Anxiety problems? In SIMEON’S boyfriend? Well, yeah, he can’t fix them 100%, but he’s so soothing and attentive. He’d be able to see if something was getting to be too much for you, and he’s the sort of person who’d get you out, even if he had to be rude about it. ‘We’re leaving the party now. … hm? I don’t remember asking if we COULD leave the party now, I’m simply informing you of that fact. Ok bye~’
Likewise, when he’s angry, he’s not a shouter. Very much the ominous smile sort. So when he IS frustrated, your willingness to let him complain would be very much appreciated. You’d be a healthy (and frankly, much needed) release valve for aggravations he’s otherwise prone to just letting pile up, once he’d become comfortable enough to do so. I think if you and Simeon were to have a fight, he’d likely walk away for a while. Either take some time to talk about the problem with someone close to him (if later in the story…. admittedly he’s kinda ass about not wanting to burden anyone for a hot bit at the beginning) or write out his feelings to sort through them, but I don’t think he’s the type to let something go unresolved. Actually, you might have at least one fight BECAUSE he’s trying not to burden you with things you’d be happy to help him carry…
I think many days of your relationship would be spent reading or writing together. Bouncing ideas off of each other for your stories, sharing book recommendations, getting to know each other through which books you enjoy most. And Simeon would be so much more inclined to keep things fun with you there, which would be good for him too! He often complains about writer's block in the story, since. Y’know, he’s a writer, and writer’s block sucks. But he’s not always the best at solving the problem on his own. I AM inclined to think he would start digging into creative methods to do so if YOU were complaining about writer’s block, though. Mr. Can’t Use Computers Without Them Combusting is suddenly super keen on figuring out Deviltube because he learned from so and so that sometimes people post interesting ways to get out of creative ruts on there, and now your date night is going to be pulling topics from a hat and doing the silliest writing sprints you can manage with the aim of just having fun and making each other laugh.
I don’t know if you’re afraid of thunderstorms or just don’t like them, but either way… LITERALLY where would be a better place to weather one than wrapped up in angel wings. Or even just his arms. Of the angels we know well, Simeon’s the least keen on singing, but he does do it well. A dark stormy night with his lover in his arms, singing him lovely songs would be bliss to him if it helped. He’d feel so loved just because he could make you feel safer.
Speaking of, I think it’s good that you’re both prone to caretaking. Heavens know Simeon could use someone that’ll look out for him like he does everyone else. I think it’d surprise him at first. I also think he’d be INCREDIBLY touched by it. If they don’t ask, people don’t often think to take care of the person who takes care of everyone else, and Simeon isn’t the sort to ask. He’s thankful for what he gets, and he doesn’t mind at all that the others don’t always do the same for him as he does for them, genuinely. They show their affections in their own ways. But when you DO look after him like that? Flabberghasted. Probably laughs after the surprise fades a bit. Thanks you openly, with a warm smile. And given that you are shy, if you also have trouble asking for help when you need it… well, how lovely to have someone so dear that is always looking for ways he can help you?
He’d genuinely love your career choice. You’re seeking to right the wrongs of the world? Amazing, he’s behind you 100%. He’d help you study AND he’d be good at that, provided you’re ok with analogue study aids. Brags about you, shamelessly, to those who know you’re in a relationship. Brags about you with somewhat more tact to those that don’t. So proud of you it’s probably bordering on sinful.
I think he’d like to learn about your hobbies he doesn’t share, too! He’s definitely used to talking about music from the days before the fall, since it’s Lucifer’s whole thing, but I think he’d be super jazzed to learn about how much the music scene in the human world has changed over the years. Anime and manga might not be a world he’s super familiar with, but he’d be so happy to enjoy them with you. It’d also give him a bridge with Levi, and given how much he misses his fallen brothers, he’d be deeply thankful for that.
Speaking of families… probably the best option of the entire cast to bring home to yours. “Oh. You’re Marcus’ boyfriend? Okay. You look like a masterpiece of a sculpture brought to life, but is it just good looks? Oh you cook? You’re good with kids? You’re astonishingly kind but still playful? You take care of him? I can see how much you love him like it’s shining out of you every time you look at him? Right, cool. So. Shall I hire a wedding planner orrrr…..?’ He’d make friends with anyone, easily. He’s a literal angel! Which… if that ever comes to light, will almost certainly be taken better than a literal demon. Like… I’m a demonolator. I don’t think you can get more chill with demons than I am. If someone I loved brought their boyfriend to me and proved to me they were really a demon, I’d still be at least a little worried about it. Also, he loves that you’re close to your family. He’d love the chance to meet them, and he’d spend many nights before bed kicking his feet and thinking about being considered a part of your family, both by you and them.
All in all, I think you’d easily become each other’s respite. I think you’d help each other grow into better versions of yourself. I think Simeon would be so very proud to see you get better in the ways you want to get better. And I think you’d have fun together!
The only real hurdle is the fact that the Celestial Realm doesn’t like angels dating humans, but we can address Simeon’s feelings being the same ones that were going to get Lilith punished more thoroughly when canon does o7
That’s all I have to say on the matter, I think! At least, I can’t think of anything to add at this point in time. Normally I’d sleep on it and edit some more tomorrow before posting, but since I’ve never done anything like this before, I’d love to hear your feedback! Is anything lacking? Is there something you’d expect to see in something like this that is missing? I’d be very happy to do some edits later! I kept wanting to insert little story snippets, but I couldn’t think of a way to make that work like I wanted. I’m confident I can get a character’s vibe right but I’m less confident I can write YOU in a way that wouldn’t be wildly wrong lmao
Real people don’t come with bodies of media I can study to learn how to write them correctly unu I have to make friends with them to learn their lore and they don’t always want that -kicks a can down the road-
This WAS really fun though. When I was a wee little baby Squid, I used to have people submit character skeletons to me and I’d write custom canon x oc fanfics for them. This reminded me to some degree of that… though I REALLY fuckin’ hope the quality is at least better than the passionate, but genuinely awful work I was posting to Quizilla when I was 13.
(if anyone else has read this, i’m happy for feedback from anyone btw!)
Hello! The great and beautiful @denpa-dere was the first to send in their request, much to my excitement! I had to rewrite it a few times, to be honest. I’m sorry about the delay, both to you and to the others who’re still waiting! My body thoroughly rebelled against my attempts to form a daily writing habit by making me so sick I couldn’t write coherently to save my life. Even in the final result, I had to do a LOT of editing because I couldn’t stop switching tenses!!! D:<
However! I’ve finally got something I’m happy with, so I’m giving it to you now! The match up process was somewhat difficult for you, because you’d work very well with damn near any of these fools… in the final moments, Beel and Thirteen were eliminated for something that would ostensibly make them better partners irl: they’re some of the most open with their feelings of the entire cast. And while that is great and good… it’s a bit hard to get some of that good good pining in if the object of your affection is more than happy to confess to their own feelings pretty much the second they have them.
So! With that in mind, your Squid assigned boyfriend is Satan!
Why? Well, the potential for pining aside, let me explain how I think things would work out.
If everything goes to plan, you’ve got a solid year minimum of dancing around your feelings for each other. Satan is calculating… also a hopeless romantic. Like… literally. He’s dreamed of a fairytale romance since the day he read his first love story, but he also believes he’d never EVER have anything like that.
Before you’re officially in a relationship, I think he’d be confused or even suspicious of your affection. You’re too NICE. What does this human want from me?? No one does this for no reason. His opinion of you shifts slowly at first. At the beginning, he’s disinterested. That morphs into general mistrust, which is banished through observation, becoming interest. You’ve probably befriended at least one of his brothers before that point, and while your interactions with Satan would still be fairly few, you’d often find him watching you. You’re a strange mix of being very genuine and also constantly deflecting that’s somewhat mysterious to him. When he feels he’s learned all he can through observation, yet still doesn’t find the answers he’s gathered satisfactory, he’ll start interacting with you more.
It’s actually embarrassing how quickly he falls for you at that point, though.You’re funny, you’re chill, you don’t shy away from the strange or grotesque. He finds it terribly cute when you get shy. He finds himself looking forward to dancing with you along the edges of the ball room whenever Diavolo throws one of his parties, the attendance of which he had always viewed as more of a chore beforehand. When you pick a horror movie for family movie night and seem to genuinely enjoy what I’d imagine to be a pretty fuckin’ advanced degree of scary film from the Devildom (seriously… I wanna know what kind of horror movies they have in the residential district of hell so SO badly, they HAVE to have some good shit…) he starts inviting you to watch all the horror classics with him privately, since you’ve missed out on them by not being born yet and from a different dimension.
Once you’re in a relationship, your typical hang out with Satan is him reading and you drawing. Sometimes you’re passing some Devil Lettuce back and forth, as one does. He tells you interesting bits of what he’s reading; facts, plot bits he found compelling, interesting characters. You show him your drawings, asking for his perspective when something looks off but you’ve been staring at the damn thing too long to figure out what.
Your typical stay-in date with Satan is quite literally plucked from the most romantic offerings in his novel collection. He WILL be setting up scenes so romantic it’d be sickening for anyone else to witness. I think you’d both have a great deal of fun exploring the differences between your stereotypical demon romance and your standard issue human ones. There’s gotta be some cultural differences there.
He will be writing you poetry, also. And gifting you books of it. Both that he’s written specifically about you and that he’s read and found himself thinking about you. Sometimes he includes portraits of you in the ones he writes, and seeing yourself through the lense of his affections is incredibly flattering. He doesn’t warp your features. It’s unmistakably you, flaws and all. But you look so soft and happy and warm whenever he draws you. He draws you like you’re love itself, taken the form of a human.
Going out for dates? Aside from the myriad of cat cafes he drags you to all the time, you can expect a great many invitations to all sorts of things. His connections get him in just about anywhere, and he’s got however many years of fantasizing about having a love like this during which he’s gathered a basically endless supply of date ideas. A picnic on a cliff overlooking the sea when the moon is at its highest point? Check. Ritzy date at a fancy restaurant that serves food so good you’ll be dreaming of it a decade later? Check. Having you on his arm as he escorts you to a play? He failed to pay much attention to the play to be honest… but check! (He was too giddy to be there with you. Alas. You can tease him for it later if you want and he’ll blush, so it works out.) You’ll get a lot of variety, going out with Satan, because he wants to experience everything with you.
And he doesn’t just stop thinking up new things he’d like to do with you, now that he has someone to go through his ancient list of date ideas with. The longer you’re together, the more ideas that are tailored to you start showing up when he invites you out. You go shopping and pick out books for him, while he picks out games for you. You trade them back and forth, sharing in each other's enjoyment, discussing what you liked and why. He plans a whole spiderweb of trips to places he specifically thinks you’d enjoy, wanting to show you the best of what the Devildom can offer you so you’ll stay forever please. These vacations have the added bonus of getting you away from the chaos that is daily life in the House of Lamentation. You’ll never see Satan calmer or more relaxed than when he’s absolutely certain he’s got a solid chunk of time alone with you. Speaking of…
You help him stay calm. He’s determined to keep his sin in check when around you. Obviously because the idea of hurting you in a fit of rage is literally his worst nightmare, but also because he knows you don’t like attention. If he’s out with you and something sets him off, he’ll fight himself tooth and nail to avoid a blow up. He doesn’t care if people stare at him while he chews someone out (or worse) but he definitely cares if you’re upset. However, if someone upsets you in his presence, they might not survive. You’ll be calmly deposited at home and then he’ll be gone for a while and come back way cleaner for some reason, requesting cuddles. #JustDemonThings. Satan is definitely one you’d have to specifically ask NOT to kill other demons for offending you, I fear.
In exchange, he helps you be confident. The limelight is inevitably going to shine on the star exchange student, but it’s less distressing with Satan at your side. He’ll take the brunt of it, if he can, and support you when he can’t. At very least, you know if anyone does get it in mind to fuck with you for some reason, they won’t be a problem for long. And when you DO have to make public appearances and take the spotlight, you can expect some… admittedly sort of clumsy pampering after. (He did his research, but he’s not used to this sort of thing. He’ll get better at it with practice.)
You’re actually banned from both being drunk at the same time in the presence of the others. It’s simply too much. You get cuddly, he gets sappy. Once a bottle’s down, he’s warbling out lovesongs as he nuzzles into your shoulder since you’re just fully on his lap. Asmo thinks it’s great… no one else can even tolerate it. What’s more… Asmo thinking it’s great means a hungover Satan gets teased by his younger brother the next morning, which may or may not lead to the need for home repairs, so really, it’s for the best all around that if you’re going to drink together, you do so privately.
In public, he’s fond of… I suppose appropriate displays of physical affection. At home, he’d really prefer you be on his lap all the time, but understands that that isn’t viable. It takes him a while to stop being embarrassed by how much he likes the physical affection once he’s started getting it, but even if he’s blushing, he’s not going to shy away from asking. This man once asked Lucifer for money to buy cat paw stockings. Embarrassment doesn’t stop him from seeking out something he wants.
Also… the sex is great. As a sub, Satan is a quivering puddle of a man. Very obedient, eager to please. He’ll sometimes start out bratty, and it’s absolutely just because having you put him in his place is so deeply hot to him. Once you fully have his trust, he would LIVE for pact play. He’s acting out, bratting it up, and you command him to kneel? He feels his body obey without his input? Feels your magic shock through him like lighting? Nothing puts him in sub-space quicker. He would GLADLY wear a collar for you in public. Also, pet play is an obvious choice for Satan, but only break out the cat ears if you want a really long night, whether it’s you wearing them or him.
As a dom he’s just kinda… feral? Redirecting all that rage is good for him, but will leave you rather sore. Amply satisfied about it, though, and his aftercare game is good. The sex itself is rough, but he’s more into dirty praise than he is degradation. He could probably be convinced, if you’re into it, but it’d take him a bit (and some very obvious enjoyment on your part when he tried it out) to stop feeling bad about it. He has to take some time to ponder this, as he had a grand time degrading past flings, but comes to the conclusion that he just really hates insulting you. It’s too close to being mad at you. It’s also the final nail in the coffin for him figuring out that what he has with you is something very different and deeply special compared to every other attempt he’s ever had at a relationship.
He adores you. Completely and totally. He WILL protect you with all of his considerable power, and he WILL commit atrocities if it’d improve your life. He will also bend to your boundaries, though. If you express that he’s done something wrong, there’s a period of anger and panic, and then he’s making sure he never does it again. Honestly, the best way to handle any situations like that is to send him a text explaining things, wait a while, and then go see him in person. Gives him some time to freak out, figure out what his emotions are doing, and settle them. Often, though, he’ll come to you as soon as he’s settled to apologize anyways.
I think! That’s it for this segment. I’m still figuring things out… but I hope you enjoyed it! Now… story!

Satan had a plan. Of course he did, he was Satan, and not only was this new territory for him, he couldn’t remember anything in his long life he’d have been more devistated to fuck up.
It required a lot of research. A great many subtle movements… invitations at the right time, keeping an eye on things he’d normally not give a rats ass about, keeping himself (and others, when necessary) in check. He’d even, on SEVERAL occasions, sucked it up and asked for advice from his brothers when their areas of expertise were concerned.
They’d all caught on that he was planning SOMETHING, but only Asmo and Lucifer had guessed correctly. Exactly none of them had bothered bringing it up… though Asmo’s attempts to ‘help’ gave him away, and Levi watching him like a frightened rabbit preparing to bolt half the time they were together tipped him off that he wasn’t being as subtle as he hoped.
Still, he thought it was going quite well. Denpa accepted his offers to hang out more often than not, and usually only turned him down if she had prior obligations. She seemed, as best he could tell, to enjoy their time together as well.
But… the only emotion he could identify with 100% certainty was anger. Sure, she smiled so much when they were talking, but was he SURE it was more than when she was with everyone, or was that wishful thinking? Sure, she wilted a bit when she did have to turn down an invitation, but was he imagining that she hadn’t always done that? Sure, she was always fussing over him, bringing him drinks and snacks when he’d get too absorbed in reading, or draping blankets over him when it was cold out but she did that for everyone she liked… didn’t she?
This lack of certainty meant more time was needed to ascertain if it was safe to make the big move. He had that outing all planned out (and ran it over in his head more nights than he cared to think about) but for now, he had to be patient.
That in itself was another problem, though. Since when had being patient become so difficult?! Well… no. Okay. It had always been difficult, even if he managed it better than a lot of demons. But since when had it hurt? A dull ache in his chest that threatened to choke him if he let himself feel it too keenly lapped at his mind like waves on a restless shore.
That, combined with the stress of the complete bullshit of the previous three weeks, had led him to being genuinely quite happy to attend tonight's little celebration. As one of the more responsible members of the student council, he’d taken on a good deal of the work needed to make the latest event that Diavolo had decided to spring on them work. This one had been enough of a faff that EVERYONE had pitched in a good deal, so for once, he didn’t really fault Asmo and Mammon for enjoying the demonus on offer. He watched Mammon throw back another flute of it and shiver in pleasure. Satan’s eyes continued to follow his brother to the dance floor as he dragged Denpa along with him. Her protests fell on deaf ears, but she seemed to fall into having fun as they started to dance. It was a pretty small gathering, after all.
He frowned, displeasure curling in his gut, but swallowed it down and opted to wander over to the buffet table before Beel inhaled it. He downed a flute of demonus to take the edge off of his irritation and lingered there, talking to Beel (at least so much as one CAN talk to Beel when he’s got a buffet table stocked by Barbatos in front of him) in an attempt to slow him down at least a little.
He wasn’t particularly paying attention to how many flutes of demonus he had, simply enjoying himself. Diavolo always broke out the good stuff when it was just his close friends, and tonight was no exception. It burned pleasantly on its way down, and tasted sweet and tart and lovely.
When Denpa eventually appeared at the table, Satan lit up, a wide smile cracking his face as he watched her pick out a treat.
“When you’re done, would you like to dance…?” Satan asked. Whatever amount of demonus he had could likely be described as too much, given the absolutely love-struck look he fixed her with when he asked her this. Regardless, she nodded, popping the snack in her mouth.
They soon made their way out onto the dance floor. The other occupants were Asmo and Solomon, who were dancing relatively normally together (though Asmo kept doing something with his hips that seemed less than physically possible) and Levi and Diavolo. The future leader of the Devildom was intently listening to Levi’s attempts to teach him whatever his weird weeb dancing was, to the despair of Barbatos nearby. No one was paying the new arrivals much mind as Satan stumbled through dance moves he’d usually manage flawlessly.
He was obviously having fun with it though. It was refreshing to see him so loose and giddy, giggling his way through missteps. The laughter was infectious, and when he stumbled badly enough to nearly fall, Denpa caught him, helping him back to his feet.
They decided they should probably stick to just swaying back and forth to the music for a while after that. Satan sighed and pressed his forehead to hers, pure bliss on his face.
“You’re too good for us, you know? But… I guess there’s not anyone who really deserves to have someone so wonderful in their lives, so it’s probably okay, as long as you’re happy… are you happy?” he said, opening his eyes to find a very blushy Denpa. He thought this was terribly cute and his smile widened.
“Y-yeah. I like it here…” she said, clearing her throat a little. She was hardly expecting compliments like this.
“Good… good. I hope you always like it here. I hope you stay forever… there’s so much I want to do for you, y’know?” he sighed, slipping down further and nuzzling into her neck. They were no longer even bothering to sway to the music. She scrambled to figure out what one says to something like that, but Satan continued on regardless.
“You’re wonderful. The best person I’ve ever met, honestly… I think about you all the time. So I’ve thought of a lot of things I want to do for you… and with you. A lot. A loooot.”
He broke into another fit of laughter, straightening up and looking into her eyes fondly as he let his head loll to the side.
“I PROMISE that when I ask you out it’s going to be PERFECT,” he swore, grinning proudly.
“...You’re going to ask me out?” she clarified. He nodded, eyes falling closed, and launched into a very detailed explanation of his plan. He’d done research into the meaning of her favourite flower and planned on incorporating it into a flower language love letter that’d be placed around the room. He’d picked out THE perfect movie to show her beforehand. He’d researched which scents humans found romantic, and when that failed to be even remotely consistent, asked her what her favourite candle was and bought a bunch of them in secret. He’d learned how to make her favourite meal! He’d written at least a dozen scripts to outline what he wanted to say! He was gunna sneak a cat in!
“So I really just need to wait for the others to be out of the house, and to be sure you’ll say yes first,” he finished, looking quite happy with himself. Denpa laughed softly, shaking her head.
“You’re right, that does sound perfect. I’ll probably say yes,” she said, considering whether or not she wanted to tease him for this once he was sober.
“Oh good! I’m so glad… I just need my brothers to fuck off, then!” he said, laughing happily and pulling you in a hug. “Just wait a little bit longer, okay?”
The Reproductive Systems and Habits of Angels and Demons
Some world building information, primarily for my Culture Shock! Obey Me AU that I'm working on. Feel free to do what you will with any of my ideas. If you make any works based off something I post, or inspired by it, I'd love to see it!
Not exactly safe for work.
Warning for noncon, specifically in the angel's section. Less serious warning that it's probably glaringly obvious I used to be in the Homestuck fandom lol
Both angels and demons are true hermaphrodites. Gender expression is based purely on preference, and heavily influenced by humanity, though in both native tongues, pronouns more denounce species than gender. Angels have one for each rank of angel and one for non-angels, while demons have one each for demons, angels, and humans, and then another for other beings, though there are also more specific ones for them that just may not be known by your average speaker and require explanation.
The reproductive systems of demons and angels are remarkably similar in form. Unaroused, the pubic area looks somewhat like a vagina, though some of the shapes are odd, the labia minora are missing, and the colours are often less-than expected if you thought your partner was human somehow, though more natural to human colors are also perfectly within possibility. The clitoris is also odd, particularly in the fact that it isn’t one. The penis remains internal when not in use, though the tip is always visible. Both arousal and the need to urinate will cause the penis to start to exit the vent, though to different degrees. The urethra is located on the tip of the penis, and both sperm and urine exit through it. The penis is tapered, and is often multicolored, though those are the only traits common enough to bother listing here, as there’s a great deal of variation in shape between individuals, with demons often showing more extreme variants than angels.
The vaginal opening is located in roughly the same location as it is on humans, and the testicles are internal in both angels and demons. The internal walls of the vagina can have some interesting textures, though this is by far more noticeable in lust demons. Ovulation in both species is rare, and triggered by different things depending. Placenta begins to form only after a fertilized egg is implanted, so periods aren’t a thing that ever happen to either, though birth is often even less pleasant to deal with than it is with humans, since the hip shape is the same, yet the babies can be much bigger and have god-knows-what sort of appendages sticking off of them. Since forms further from humans are most often larger, it’s common practice for an expecting demon or angel to shift up when labor starts to ease the process. This can, for some, also change the shape of the hips, which can either make things easier, or just impossible, so it’s always on a case by case basis if this is advisable or not.
Arousal will always instigate the penis to exit the body, though there are some notable differences based on whether the being wishes to submit or dominate. If experiencing submissive arousal, the penis remains fairly soft and is mobile, though control over the movements of it is generally extremely limited (Asmodeus could probably hold a pen and write though.) More blood goes to the labia majora, causing a swelling, as well as some internal structures that enhance the pleasure of being penetrated.
If experiencing dominant arousal, the penis loses its mobility, becomes hard and rigid in preparation to penetrate. Blood actually redirects from the vagina, the labia closing up a bit. It's wildly unpleasant to be penetrated in this state, though some masochists enjoy it.
Both states feel notably different, both physically and emotionally. Switching between states without a pause in between is something that some demons enjoy immensely. Mammon in particular loves starting out dominant and having his partner get him to switch before he gets to do anything.
While nearly unheard of for angels, who almost always produce a single, live infant, there are rare subsets of demons that produce either litters or eggs, and even rarer, some who can end up with two or all three options in different circumstances, though not at the same time.
Angels
Angels are capable of arousal and copulation at any time, and can reproduce with angels, humans, and demons. However, this is forbidden outside of a singular circumstance. Overcoming lust is expected, and giving into it is WILDLY taboo and will be met with visceral disgust if not outright ostrisization from most every other angel. Denying yourself lustful pleasures is considered a show of your devotion, not only to god, but to other angels, and a thing that you should do for the good of everyone.
The singular instance in which angels are allowed to sexually reproduce are in the case of a ‘Blessed Coupling.’ This has always been between two angels, and tends to come out of fucking nowhere, but it’s very literally god wanting two angels to bone down and make a baby for whatever reason. It happens very rarely, and without the will of the angel being taken into account. Very suddenly, two angels will enter each other's proximity, shift up a form or two, and become unbearably aroused. Reports from couples who had this happen don’t exactly paint a pleasant picture, as they very suddenly feel like thoughtless animals and cannot resist going at it. They often both leave the situation feeling violated. Blessed Couples are both venerated and used as a cautionary tale against giving into lust. It’s a common belief that should you give into lust, you can become like that permanently, though that’s entirely untrue and born mostly out of fear. It’s worth noting that this happens to angels who have never even met sometimes, so the interest between the pair is irrelevant.
While most of the punishment for things like masturbation would be social, carried out by other angels if found out, IF an angel impregnates someone or gets impregnated outside of a Blessed Coupling, they fall and their offspring is killed. If an angel wants to have a child, they frankly should fall first.
For the most part, angels are created directly by god, and while Blessed Couplings are considered a very good thing, as it's a direct result of gods will, no one really knows why it happens. The offspring are always special in some way, so it's assumed that god wants that specific angel to exist, but that's just kind of the most accepted guess.
Demons
Demons are more likely to suffer from NOT having sex, or at least masturbating, than they ever will be from abstaining. While most often seen in the form of gluttony and wrath rampages, all of the sins can produce a sort of ‘shut down’ state if the temptation to give into them is ignored for long enough, or the desire is strong enough. Lust will end up with a sort of heat or rut, depending on the nature of the desire being ignored. That said, if there is no desire, there’s no danger of the shut down state. So, if a demon is asexual, they're just plain not in danger of that.
Dominance and submission are both culturally and biologically a thing with demons. Culturally, being dominant is seen as the ideal, while being submissive is shameful, since it’s a culture in which being strong is heavily emphasized. Biologically, every demon wants both sometimes, though some demons have definite preferences for one or the other.
Being openly brazen with enjoying to submit is viewed as extraordinarily slutty. More conservative demons look down on it, but it’s pretty universally considered very hot. Asmo’s fixation on keeping himself small and cute and flirty is largely because, even if he’s modestly dressed and using none of his powers, demons around him tend to react with arousal, which he likes a lot. He's cultivated the image of the perfect submissive.
Pacts with human sorcerers have a lot of strangeness about them. A pact taken by force is most likely to just produce resentment in the demon half of it, but a pact willingly given is kind of the ultimate act of submission, literally subjecting your free will to another. Often, such things are only offered to exceedingly powerful sorcerers, because the demon gains a lot of power out of it as well in that case and it’s worth the occasional loss of free will to them. However, if attraction develops on the demons end, they find that their body only really wants to act submissively in sexual situations with that person. Given how little any of this ever took place in the Devildom prior to the exchange program and MC earning their pacts, this wasn’t a documented thing, because no demon in their right mind would eagerly admit that they let their pactmate plow them (save for Asmodeus, but that’s not weird for him, and no one would really question it being at all related to the pact.) Whether there’s a magical influence on their preference, or it’s simply a latent desire all demons have not allowing itself to be ignored after literally turning over your free will to someone, who knows.
Heats are more common with demons, due to the sort of shame associated with submitting. It’s less to do with breeding, and much more to do with sating a desire that’s been repressed. They can often be kept at bay with the use of toys and indulgent fantasies, but it’s still more common that a demon will be too proud to ‘sink to that level.’ It’s genuinely a bit weird for a demon to, on their own, go into rut. There’s no taboo against going at someone, or even taking turns, and even if that’s not an option, masturbation will usually keep it from happening. If a demon’s doing a LOT of pining, it can happen, but such obsessive focus on one person to trigger something like that is very rare, and usually will clue people into something being wrong well before this is an issue. Most commonly, a rut is triggered while actively having sex. There is a certain limit to how long you can edge a demon without them flipping the fuck out and literally losing their mind for a while. This is DEFINITELY a fetish for some demons, both having it happen to them and being the one to trigger it in others. Levi’s into the idea of having it done to him. Lucifer loves doing it to others.
While lesser demons that die easier reproduce pretty frequently, the only higher demons that commonly reproduce is the royal family, due to how often kings are rebelled against and deliberately killed. For the most part, a high demon has to actively choose to have a child, and most will just probably not. They live for many millions of years, if not killed, and killing them is an ORDEAL, so the idea of passing down what they have isn’t honestly an issue most think about often, if ever.
A high demon that has chosen to be impregnated will behave very differently from normal, though if they’re acting as the father, nothing actually changes at all. Brooding behaviors can vary pretty heavily from demon to demon, but they all start craving meat (among other things) in large quantities and do some sort of nesting behavior, though it’s heavily influenced by what the individual believes to be important. Beel would probably try to hoard food, but with an exacerbated appetite, might become distressed with how difficult that is. Leviathan would likely end up in some sort of blanket fort made of manga and whatever he thought was comfy, but he’d also probably like it to be underwater. A pregnant high demon expects their partner to be at their beck and call and take care of them. They do not expect to have to leave their nest more than absolutely necessary. Gestation periods vary, but both of the pair are expected to basically be unreachable until the birth.
Most of the time, high demons having children is kind of the ultimate declaration of devotion to each other, both because of the expected behavior while the baby is forming, as well as what the baby themselves represent. It’s borderline sacred. Baby trapping does happen, but it’s socially considered so revolting that oftentimes if it’s found out the friends of the victim will straight up kill the demon that did it to them, and sometimes the child depending. It involves a LOT more manipulation than it would for humans who can conceive accidentally.
Noble families who produce heirs will sometimes choose to do so with the sole purpose of showing off their wealth. This is most common with greed demon couples. They made a grand show of the time, often hiring extensive staff and going wildly hedonistic while the baby or babies are gestating. It's also common when a family is expanding to increase their own power and not because they're showing that devotion. Often, the lavish gestation and entry into the noble family is the compensation for the demon that becomes pregnant.
Also worth noting: most cambion (human/demon hybrids) happen entirely by accident. While a high demon has to choose to initiate the ability to be pregnant, they can technically always get someone else pregnant. Should a demon go have some fun with humans and raw dog one, it may just genuinely not occur to them that, if that human has the right equipment, they might get pregnant about it. It’s not uncommon knowledge that humans just kinda get pregnant all willy-nilly, but for the most part, you’d have to look it up. It would be less of an issue were a human to couple with a lesser demon with a more relatable reproductive cycle, but their smaller, less-human forms and rare reasons to ever interact with humans make such couples non-existent. While there are humans that would see a knee-high bipedal pig made of shadow and think “I need to fuck that,” the chances of the two ever meeting are improbably slim.
While fetishes in the Devildom are plentiful and often strange, because of how such things work, high demons pretty universally consider breeding kinks cute and wholesome. Demons with that inclinations will sometimes stage role play sessions where making a nest together, or at least doing it in one that one of them made beforehand, is expected, as is lots of cuddling and pampering. This could lead to some interesting misunderstandings if a demon wasn’t particularly specific with the details of a request for such things when inviting MC. A demon asking someone to 'pretend to breed them' is hoping to be lavished with love and affection, so if you show up with nothing but a lot of dirty talk planned, there will be a great deal of confusion on both ends.
