samnickifer for the ship ask? 👀👀👀
UGH!!! yes key dynamics to why i got into and stayed in this fandom <3
What made you ship it?
so, i was a nickifer shipper pretty much the second nick n lucifer hit the screen in 5.01, the gentleness and honesty between them backgrounded by horrors inflicted upon nick (and also inflicted upon lucifer-by-implication) is like...scenes of all time, i was doomed immediately lol. and then sam and lucifer were The Way They Were all season...and then some of the very first spn fics i ever read were sam/nick (i think probably the first was one of entanglednow's?)...and then i listened to a samifer 8tracks playlist that had bedroom hymns by florence on it and went "ok real BUT samnickifer though??" and the rest is history lol
What are your favorite things about the ship?
i guess at base it's that it seems like lucifer thoroughly interacts with her vessels, and experiences sam through nick in a way that feels like it surpasses how most angels seem to experience stuff through their vessels. beyond that though, the parallels between their paired dynamics really just makes me 😩😩😩 — lucifer is heavily invested in sam, but is similarly sweet & interested with nick?? sam is scared of nick by proxy to lucifer, but nick is Just Some Guy and sam can't be as walled off against him because he doesn't have the power or the baggage with sam that lucifer does, and nick is super into lucifer in a way sam won't let himself understand for a long time?? nick has to be obsessed with sam because lucifer is obsessed with sam, and because sam is like, The Ideal version of himself, but he resents him and is sooo jealous too?? buhhuhhhuh
Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
other than the unpopular-within-the-fandom-at-large opinions i have about nick and lucifer, i don't think so? hm, idk if it's unpopular to have nick-is-a-campbell truthing be an integral component to the dynamic but i guess maybe that
