omg ur ask about holyapple!! i kinda hate that everyone in the fandom seems to see them as brothers bc aaaah them being exes is soooooo <3 MWAH i fear they'll attack me if i ever get to posting about it
Do you think the creator will go the brother route or nah 🤔
I KNOW, I eat that shit up for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and then have it as my side of dessert too. The complex relationship between Lucifer and Michael is as old as time itself because a lot of people really enjoy stories about lovers being coded as rivals. If this weren't true, I dare ask why Sasuke and Naruto are so Goddamn popular even if they're toxic, eh?
Having said that, the default interpretation for Lucifer and Michael is that OF brothers. I understand where this comes from since Lucifer and Michael are created as being 'twin' entities that mirror each other, so I don't think it's a bad take to have them be brothers. Having said that, there is so much that can be done with the way they bounce of off each other and the default interpretation being brothers really bums me out. It's only been recently that I've seen stories about them break this mold, so any rare thing I see that has them being bickering lovers really gets me giddy as a result.
WHICH IS TO SAY (thank you for staying tuned to my rambling) that Vizi will probably stick to her interpretation of them being siblings by default because that is the default. I would really LOVE if she didn't do so because I think it'd be fun to create some romantic tension beween the two, but ah, the general trend when it comes to these two is to do that. That is not to say that it's impossible - I've seen so many fun things recently that defy the mold - but I've noticed that product is either super niche (like a fanfic) or super recent (like Angels Before Man). Creating a homoerotic rivalry between two characters that are perceived to be related is a LOT, but I have seen it done. I pray Vivi gets it done, but I won't hold it against her if that's not what she wants. It's her product, her choice, her show.
(Either way, though, that's why fanfiction exists and I have two hands 😇)
