Just founded your series on Obey Me's therapy and omg where has it been all my life?? Incredibly interesting take on the aftermath of lesson 16 and how yeah, basically therapy is definitely needed. Can't wait for part 6!
EEK! thank you so much!! i have about half of the next one done and i'm hoping to get it done and posted by tomorrow or sunday! i'll tag you when it's up 🥺
yah, lesson 16 really bothered me. everyone (but especially MC, mammon, belphie/beel, and lucifer) definitely needed therapy afterwards. i don't like how canon just glossed over the traumatic effects of everything that's happened to MC. i mean, just lucifer's behavior would be enough to warrant calling a therapist.
i wanted to keep this gen, i really did–especially since i know there's a lack of platonic fics. but lucifer is my ultimate "i can fix him with the power of therapy and communication". his relationship with MC needs the most work (aside from belphie obvs). and i think with a bit of help, he could really be a good partner. of course, i'm biased since he's my favorite.
i'm really glad that people are liking this. i've put a lot of myself in MC, mostly in terms of how i handle trauma and conversations i've had with my own therapist. i couldn't imagine even tolerating living in the same house with belphie after lesson 16, much less being friends. MC has their moments where they're allowed to be mad but typically they just go with the flow. that's not...realistic to me? i'd be pissed.
sorry this went on a ramble, but thank you again!!
