#satan thoughts

Satan is high-key Lucifer's favorite.

Normally I would pull up some evidence in support of such a bold claim but all the evidence lives inside my moldy little brain. Just trust me. He is. I know Mammon is supposedly his favorite but I think Mammon was just his favorite before Lucifer had a brother who was also partly himself.

---

Like, I'm writing a thing right now and it feels like it's just---

Satan: I hate you. Lucifer: I know. Satan: I hope you die. Lucifer: I know. Satan: Asshole. Lucifer: Fair enough.

And that feels completely in character! Right? Like who else is getting away with what he gets away with? Nobody, that's who.

Satan destroys the entire house. Lucifer: Boys will be boys. Satan sends Lucifer a cursed letter for the first time. Lucifer: Ah, they grow up so fast... Mammon calls Lucifer a poopyhead when he thinks he can't hear. Lucifer: When will you learn that your actions have consequences? Lucifer strings him up from the ceiling for a full day.

Μέρα με τη μέρα αυξάνεται η ανάγκη μου, να μείνω μόνος από όλους και από όλα.

Asmo changes how he refers to Satan depending on the situation.

Satan: *comes downstairs late with disheveled hair, looking tired and grumpy, glaring at Levi* Mammon: What happened to you? Satan: *continues glaring at Levi* Levi: ...Look! Run Away with Me Neko-Chan seemed like the sort of story he'd like! I didn't realize that he wasn't emotionally prepared for the finale! Asmo: Levi! Did you recommend our baby brother another heartbreaking manga?

Later the same day...

Asmo: I just got off the phone with my agent. I'm going to be on the cover of Demonia Monthly! Satan: Again? Asmo: Mhm! So you'd better buy it! Satan: I see your face every day. Asmo: You really aren't going to support your adorable little brother when he's trying to achieve his dreams...?

If he thinks Satan is doing something cute or funny or endearing, Satan is "my baby brother", but if Satan is being a jerk or ignoring him or acting high and mighty, it's "How could you do this to your precious little brother?"

There was nothing wrong with the soup.

Lucifer: Good evening. Brothers: *noncommittal hellos from around the dining room table* Lucifer: It seems we're all here tonight. It's become unusual for us seven to all eat dinner together. Mammon: Unusual? There's nothing unusual going on here. Ow! Levi: Ahahaha! What he means is that it's great! It's so great that we're all here eating dinner together! Right? Mammon: Ugh.... Yeah. What he said. Lucifer: ...Mhm. Belphie: Wow... Satan, you did a good job on this soup. Satan: Thank you. It's a human world recipe. I'd like you all to try it. Asmo: Mmm! Wow, that's tasty! Beel: *incoherent garbles as he swallows his fifth bowl* Mammon: Ohhhh, yeaahhhh... So yummy... You should try it, Lucifer. Lucifer: *sigh* Levi: Mmmmmm....! Yum!.... Lucifer: What is wrong with the soup? Asmo: The only thing wrong with the soup is that you aren't eating any! Lucifer: What is wrong with the soup? Mammon? Satan? Belphie? Belphie: I think it tastes great. Satan: Thank you, Belphegor. Lucifer: What is wrong with the soup? Beel: More please. Satan: Of course. I'm so glad you're enjoying it. Lucifer: *slamming his spoon down on the table and standing up* WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE SOUP, SATAN?

Satan has implemented a new psychological method of attack in his onslaught against Lucifer. Before dinner, he told his other five brothers to add a pinch of salt to the soup so it "wouldn't affect them". Little do they all know that it's completely normal soup.

He's learning...

Hello / Goodbye

"By the time you're awake, I'll be gone. I love you, baby brother."

One of my headcanons is that there's some significance between Lilith "dying" and Satan "being born". Quite the coincidence, that sibling swap.

I'm so proud of him...

...We're still making progress. Satan, sweetie, I was on the phone with YOU.

Lucifer has some explaining to do.

I have some questions for him.

Did he make Satan on purpose?

Did he know that making Satan was a thing that could happen?

Did Satan explode bodily from him? Like did a whole ass man come out?*

How did he decide they were brothers and not parent/child?

Why do his brothers accept that he's also their brother? Is it just because Lucifer said so?**

How does he justify to Diavolo that he has to keep this vicious ball of hate and fury in his castle because that's his brother actually? How much damage did Baby Satan do to that castle? Will Barbatos ever forgive him?

How did he explain Satan to Satan? Like...what do you say to an adult man you manifested in a moment of soul-crushing rage? "Oh hi, sorry for the identity crisis and crippling emotional issues, it's unfortunate that you were created to embody wrath, that sounds like it sucks"?

Totally unrelated, but did he have an interest in cursed things in Heaven or is this just a Devildom thing? Because he has that cursed record with the banshee recording in NightBringer, so it isn't like it's taken thousands of years for him to get into them.

*In my fic, I'm saying that the thing that Lucifer created wasn't a full person, but an essence, and it was by combining that essence with Lilith's body that Satan was made.*** (Not literally just sticking him in her body, obviously the brothers would recognize that immediately. But I think there needed to be a host body for the manifestation of wrath to actually become a person.)

**How hard was it for Belphie to accept Satan? I know he has a Devilgram where he's jealous of Satan sort of being the new youngest, but did it feel like Lucifer was getting a replacement for Lilith? How do you deal with losing and gaining a sibling at the exact same time? I say Belphie specifically because he's the one who would have the hardest time with this, 100%.

***Does this mean trans Satan? I don't know, I've never seen Lilith's anatomy either.****

****For all I know everyone's just a Barbie doll down there and all the horndoggery in the fandom is a lost cause. Except for Solomon, because I can confirm that humans have genitals. So maybe Solomon is the only bangable character in the series. Congrats to all Solomon simps. I don't know how I got to this point, this was not supposed to be about that.

Lucifer can play the piano. Satan retained some of Lucifer's memories. What if Satan just went up to a piano one day and started pounding out Chopin or something? Everyone turns and stares at him and he looks just as confused as they do.

Mammon thinks maybe the piano is enchanted so that anybody can play it, but when he goes up to try, he just plays Chopsticks.

Levi makes the connection to Lucifer, everyone goes "Ohhhh..." and Satan goes "Oh."

And he never touches the piano again. He doesn't want to owe Lucifer for any talents he has. Instead, he picks up another instrument and learns it the traditional way.
