How and why Lilith didn't do anything wrong and still deserves justice.
(Or aka, me ranting about the corruption of the Celestial Realm once again)
(This is essentially just me rambling into the void, but it continues to fester in my mind, so please indulge me if you can lol)
Lilith, the 7 sin's sweet little sister who met an unfortunate fate; did NOTHING wrong. What she did was nothing worthy of the severe punishment that was given. It's one of the many instances of the Celestial Realm being corrupted, but it's THIS specific instance that makes my head spin.
For starters, no, Lilith did NOT get punished for falling for and being with a human. This is a common misconception, so I'd like to make that clear.
What Lilith got punished for; was stealing Celestial Realm food and altering a human's life-span. I am here today to discuss why there was entirely nothing wrong with Lilith's decisions and how the Celestial Realm's decisions were nothing but harmful and hypocritical.
Let's get this show rolling. Let's go over my First focus point: The Celestial Realm Food.
My first question; is why. WHY keep something that could be so valuable AWAY from humans? For angels, their very purpose is to help humans, to quite literally perform miracles. So why?
Why not cure this human of an incurable illness when it's so easy? Why do they INSIST on causing more pain to the human in suffering, as well as the people, and in this case, angels around them?
It's not like Lilith's lover was on his deathbed because of old age. It's not like it was his time. So what was stopping the Celestial Realm from just healing him in the first place?
There was nothing to lose. Lilith could've been happy, and with it, an entire WAR could've been avoided.
The fact that even later in the story, WITH MC, Celestial Realm food is just. Treated normally? It's literally one of the VERY first things that come up! That in Lesson 7, they have food served from different realms when staying at Diavolo's castle.
Devildom food on the first day, Celestial Realm food on the second day and Human World food on the third day.
You can make the argument that it could've been a very specific and special Celestial Realm food, after all, it DOES provide healing abilities. The problem with that is; it's a hypothetical. It could've been a very rare and special fruit, or it could've been the Celestial Realm equivalent to a fucking donut.
In the end; it's never stated to be anything special. All that is said is that it's simply made out to be ordinary Celestial Realm food. That's the plain and simple information given, and unless there's something specific we don't know about; we have to take this as fact.
If it's not stated in canon; then it's not canon. This is rule of thumb.
If we go with this, then we can make the argument that all Celestial Realm food is inherently healing to humans. At the end of the day, no one is batting a single EYE with MC eating Celestial Realm food.
Which brings me to my second focus point: No one is batting a single eye with Solomon being immortal.
Let's bring in another hypothetical! Let's just say that whatever Lilith's human lover ate, turned him immortal. I'll first mention how this is very unlikely if not impossible.
Lilith lived a happy life with her lover as a human. Lilith also died as a human. Why would Lilith's human lover be any different? Why would he continue living? If that were to be the case, you'd think that it would make itself a plot point or at least be mentioned; but it's not.
BUT. For the sake of this hypothetical; let's just pretend he turned immortal. Whether he is still living or got killed years ago; let's just assume he was/ is immortal. (Note: Immortal simply means living forever. This does NOT equal immunity and removing the chances of being killed or something happening to you. Tons of people don't know this, and it astonishes me, so please live your life with this knowledge)
So.
He's immortal.
deep inhale...
WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM. LIKE??? DO I EVEN. HAVE TO EXPLAIN MYSELF. AGGRESSIVELY POINTING TO SOLOMON HOW NO ONE HAS A SINGLE PROBLEM WITH HIM BEING IMMORTAL SO WHY DOES IT EVEN MATTER I SWEAR THE CELESTIAL REALM IS SO FUCKING HYPOCRITICAL AND MAKES ZERO SENSE AND--
Conclusion!
So, uh, yeah, Lilith did nothing wrong and I am 100% a Lilith apologist.
Yeah, no, I'm not ending there. I still have one more thing to add. A question I've asked more times than I can count.
Why?
Why couldn't Lilith's lover live? Why did Lilith have to be punished? Why did a war have to break out?
And since no one will be giving me an answer, I'm providing myself one:
Because they wanted this to happen.
Is it really that surprising? The Realm that has done nothing but scheme, manipulate and brainwash, (gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss) that they were the ones to set up the war? Because they wanted it to happen? And still, WHY? Why would they want this to happen?
Well, for one, if you read this other lil theory/ analysis that you should definitely check out by the way--
Now, I want to start this off by saying I don't really have a lot of evidence to back this up, this is mostly for fun! (I also haven't playe
God is fucking SALTY.
I'm sorry, I genuinely can't describe it any better. Like. I. Yeah. That's. That's genuinely it. That's the summary, that's the conclusion.
Okai, fine I'll explain a bit more.
God wanted to get rid of anyone who opposed him.
The brothers were already on the brink of falling; even before the war and what happened with Lilith. The brothers, along with Lilith I'm sure; were already defying God and questioning the very system they have pledged their lives to. (Not that they had a choice) God saw this; and so he planned. Planned a war, or rather; an excuse to get rid of the brothers. The very ones that have started questioning and defying him; but never stating it outright.
And the other angels and the like; accepted this and followed like sheep, as an unfortunate truth as that is.
Lilith's crimes weren't because she fell in love with a human, and it wasn't because she altered a human's life-span. Lilith's crimes were because she was defying a corrupted system, a corrupted ruler.
And she paid the price for acting as the catalyst just so her brothers could follow down with her.
Wow! So! You made it! Allll the way down to the end of the post! You read it all, I'm so proud of you! Can't believe you'd listen to my silly lil ramblings, so thank you.
You know I kinda thought about this a lot. Remember the pacts we made with the boys ? Besides us being able to control them and make them do our bidding , not that I would , didnt they also say that , when we die...
our souls will belong to them ?
In exchange for basically a demon servant , our souls would belong to them when we die. Kind of like in black butler.
I never really looked into HCs of MC dying cause again I always thought they would just come back. Kind of like a
MC died of a heart attack
MC's fam: NOOO , I LOVE YOU
MC pushing through the house of lamentation doors as if it's their own home
MC: I'm back bitches. Miss me ?
OM Brothers: HELL YEAH !! WELCOME HOME MC
Not saying that I wanna go to hell, but if I were to be greeted that way, I wouldnt mind 👀
I remember when they were still explaining to us the concept of pact marks. What they do and what we can do yada yada. For some reason I don’t see a lot of hcs about what the brothers get at the end of the stick. I remember they say that
“When you have a pact with us, we’ll do whatever you want with no objections. In exchange, when you die, we get your soul”
Now I dont think the brothers would actually eat or torture their soul. I dont think Diavolo would put them in that light since he did just randomly picked them up from the human world to join his exchange program. Of course this is assuming MC chose to go to hell instead of up in heaven.
I’ve seen other HCs about MC going to the Celestial realm because of her connection with Lilith. I have a different theory about Lilith though.
I think the only big difference , is that MC cant command them anymore. Since they already died, they're basically like a fresh human soul hanging around high ranking demon. Of course this isn’t really like a second life thing. They’re basically bound to hell because of the amount of pacts they made.
I might make a more detailed post about this soon. The pact marks really intrigued me cause that's where the name of the game comes from lol.
Also I’m stuck on lesson 28 cause the cards are getting more and more expensive to level up. So this may or may not be totally inaccurate. Please share your own thoughts about this idea with the pact marks !! I’m genuninely curious what your idea is !!
the event’s story was very, very weird especially with how it ended. it seemed kind of cliffhanger-y? like I was waiting for the moment when everyone went back to normal during the party because haha funny or a mini time skip to when the party finished and the magic literally wore off.
ngl I’m hoping there’s a part 2 in the works, I mean it is the first anniversary so it’d be cool and like I said the ending didn’t really feel like a story’s conclusion...
More thought vomit about the event story lol, it’s gonna be a kiiiind of long. I’ll put this under a readmore if it’s really a scroll through
So thinking about it more and it’s suuuuper interesting how all 7 brothers act very different as angels compared to Simeon and Luke.
Like, this isn’t Simeon hate, how Simeon basically lied through omission and manipulated the brothers into wearing the bangles. How much did he know about what it would do? Did he plan this with Michael? etc etc like whether Simeon intended it or not, this was malicious to do. His actions and reactions were very un-angel like when we compare it to how the brothers act as angels.
There’s also Luke who throughout the MAIN story has shown more emotions (anger! or more so annoyance!!) than any of the brothers did here even when you’re rude/unsupportive about their transformation!
Finally there’s also how... in my opinion, kindly-bland the brothers are? Like they’re overall interactions with MC were so... normal? kind? almost like... side characters *wink wonk* I dunno that’s just my take but there’s something more going on here story wise I don’t think the Devs would make a role reversal just for fun like this.
In the end I’m really hoping this goes somewhere, I think there are little hints everywhere from the event to the new cards but I’m too lazy to go looking for more than what I’ve seen so far lol
