hell world-building
@holdhertightandsayhername requested this over on ao3, so I thought I’d share some things. This is for some infinitely gentle (infinitely suffering) thing. In regards to Lucifer’s clothing, some of the inspiration can be found in my Lucifer King of Hell Wear tag but the main inspiration is actually Indian grooms-wear. Lots of black and red and gold.
It would typically be worn with only the outer layer when presiding in the Palace as a show of strength. Unprotected skin indicates fearlessness and confidence.
like that ^ it’s also similar to how he wears his dressing gowns around Lux.
The chains he would wear when he’s in Full Ceremony is inspired by these guys
and the markings of the various clans and bloodlines he would be painted with are inspired by these.
A sort of mishmash of different markings, head to toe. The Mark of the Lilim, and specifically of the Masahk who protect him, would spiral down his arm to the top of his right hand. ALSO, I just really wanted to put Lucifer in gold eyeshadow. Fight me. lol
