Yeah the underwater asthetic is cool and all, but where is his personality? All his gaming stuff and stuff is gone except for one lone Ruri-chan plushie. Yeah he still has his mangas & dvds in the bookshelf, but where's the rest? Him being an otaku has literally always been a huge part of his character, so where is it 💔🥀
NOO I get it 😭 honestly I'm a bit dissapointed because appart from the Ruri-chan plushie, It feels too generic of a room for Levi, like, this could be the room for any water themed character, It doesn't do a good job in displaying Levi's personality!!
Also, can I be honest with you? I don't like how tiddy Satan's room feels... 😥😥 Like, some people might see It as character development, but at least making It look a bit more disorganized would be a good compromise. Like, I'll miss how Satan always insisted that his room was fine because he knows where everything Is lol
their OG rooms showed a lot of personality, I'm starting to miss It already
Since the topic was brought up again and I also don't think it's the reason the game gave us--do you have any theories why Barbatos might be so upset with Solomon?
Personally I feel like it might have to do with MC somehow, and that the whole Number 8 thing was just a pretense so Barbatos wouldn't have to say the actual reason in front of MC......
Well, to begin with, I absolutely agree with you, Melody. I think Barbatos was just saying that because he didn't want to tell MC the real reason.
This got a little lengthy & there are some spoilers, so I'm going to put it under the read more!
I very much think that there is something else going on between Solomon and Barbatos, that it has to do with Nightbringer and thus MC and their trip into the past, and whatever it is, Barbatos doesn't feel like he can speak about it freely.
I have thought since the beginning that Barbatos knows what's going on with Nightbringer. He makes some comments that indicate as much and the fact he gave MC a piece of his grimoire for Belphie's episode... he just knows too much to not be in on at least part of it.
Solomon definitely knows more than he's telling MC, as evidenced by the conversation he has with Nightbringer in season 1.
It seems to me that it's possible that whatever Barbatos knows and whatever Solomon knows is the same thing. Or at least there's probably some overlap in their knowledge.
All of that kind of leads me to a couple different theories about what it is that Barbatos could actually be upset about.
If Barbatos is Nightbringer, he could just be upset that Solomon is there at all. Solomon says that he came back to the past on his own, which means it wouldn't have been part of Nightbringer's plan for him to be there to begin with. If Barb is Nightbringer, he could just be upset that Solomon is messing with his plans.
I think it's also possible that someone else is masquerading as Solomon at least part of the time. We know that Michael at least can take on the entire appearance and personality of someone else. So that makes me think maybe Barbatos is aware that it isn't really Solomon and therefore isn't actually angry at Solomon at all, but at whoever is pretending to be him. This one admittedly feels like a bit of a stretch, but I also don't really think Barb is Nightbringer, either.
It could be that Barbatos is not Nightbringer, but is working with Nightbringer for some reason. And he's upset at Solomon for getting in the way?
It's just that Barbatos doesn't seem to be actively getting in Solomon's way. So even if Solomon being there wasn't part of the plan, it doesn't seem to be interfering. Which makes me think that this just isn't enough of a reason for Barbatos to be so angry that he's hurling insults.
I have other thoughts, but they all revolve around it being revealed that either Barbatos or Solomon (or both of them) are keeping massive secrets from MC. But I always end up writing myself in circles because I can't figure out the motives for either Barbatos or Solomon in any of these cases lol.
Mostly it's just a ~feeling~ that there's more to all this and that Barbatos just said the first thing that came to his mind so that he wouldn't have to tell MC the real reason.
Okay CC, I feel like I need to make something VERY clear >:(
You are always, always, ALWAYS more than welcome to use any and all of the ideas and scenarios I mention & come up with. Doesn't matter if it's something I said on the server while we're all rambling, a random sentence from one of my posts, any of the today-in-the-devildom scenarios, or whatever else--if something I say gets your creative juices running, then PLEASE write about it!! I'm here to inspire <3
Are we clear now? >:(
Good, love ya 💚💚
Ajsjjdjs Melody I love you 💕💕💕
I don’t know why I’m weird about this specific thing, but I always feel bad about using other people’s ideas??? Even though I am also thrilled for anyone to use mine??? What can I say, my brain is chaos and makes no sense lol.
Anyway, thank you for reassuring me that it’s okay I truly appreciate it! From now on I know that I have your blessing~
Which is good because wow you keep giving me all the solulu feels and I know I’m in the pre writing marinating zone with that so it’s only a matter of time before I write something lol!
CC, I don't know if you've ever played 5D chess, but lately I've been wondering if Barbatos would enjoy it? I mean, he does like chess and it seems like it'd be right up Barbatos' alley, but maybe the interdimensional time-travel aspect of it would turn him off instead?? Anyway, as the fandom's Barbatos Expert™ I was wondering what your assessment would be
Anyway, love ya 🫶🫶
Melody!! I hope you're having a lovely day! 💕💕
Ahhh I feel so flattered being thought of as the Barbatos Expert lol!
Though I had to look up 5D chess because I hadn't heard of it previously! I have to admit, the time travel stuff just completely confuses the heck out of me.
But Barbatos on the other hand... I think he'd enjoy the challenge! I'm not sure if he'd feel different about playing against a computer versus playing against another person... I suspect nobody has the same full understanding of time that he has, so he might not be able to find someone who can match him. The computer would be more of a challenge, but I think he'd still win against it every time lol.
I don't think he'd be turned off unless there was actual time travel happening. Then he might be concerned, but otherwise I think he'd enjoy it. He might even appreciate something that can actually give him a decent challenge for a little while. Since he probably has years worth of regular chess playing experience at this point.
I also think he'd especially like it if MC introduced him to it and played it with him. Just because you know he'd love to have that extra time with MC~
Uh oh but now I'm thinking about Solomon getting the idea to turn it into a magical chess game that actually does involve time travel. At which point, Barbatos would play against him and win, then confiscate the entire thing lol.
37 regular boops as well as 2 super boops have been received yesterday, thank you 🫡
Also what were the 3 evil boops about CC, huh??? Is there something you're trying to tell me????? >:(( (<- I'm still the one that started them lol)
Wow I really thought I booped you more than that! But to be fair, I think I booped most people one to five times lol. I felt bad about blowing up notifs!
Well it turns out that you evil booped me FIVE times, so... lol anyway I feel like evil = love in this instance~ 😈💕
I was incredibly curious and while it took me some time to count, you booped me 175 times, plus the 5 evil boops and 18 super boops for a grand total of 198 boops!
My boop o meter ended up at *-* which I read somewhere was like 5k? I'm not sure, but I had to scroll through sooooo many notifs lol!
It was a fun time! Thank you for all the boops!! 💕💕
