Hi, I just realized:

In the actor AU will the Lost Kid's father be IK's real father (Zhao) or will Zhao be cast randomly? I think he was mainly in the last chapter in JTTA so it would be funny if they just forgot about it when casting and have to quickly find someone. XD

"shit we forgot to cast the dad for the brief but emotional reunion scene JUST GRAB A DUDE OFF THE STREET"

y'know, excluding the epilogue, zhao's only 'on-screen' scene in jtta only calls for the ability to look sad and tired, and gasp really loudly, which i think he could pull off. the directors are just like "oh, ik's dad has a really good sad face? the sad face is basically his resting expression? he gets emotional really easily? well goddamn HE'S HIRED"

poor zhao is just visiting his daughter and all of a sudden he's being yanked onto set and having make-up applied to his dark circles to make him look even more haggard

Hi, in the Actor AU:

I just had to imagine Zhao getting dragged on screen again because they're either doing a sequel or an alternate universe episode. So he's just suddenly stuck with having to act as if he and Lucifer are slowly falling in love or there could be something (feelings) happening.

For example they're doing an It Takes Two special and Lucifer is a bit too interested in her father.

Or for maybe only a single episode after the end of JTTA when Lucifer and Lisa first meet.

IK just has to suffer through seeing people pine for her father on screen. XD (Or for the possible relationship to be implied.)

pfft the director's like "okay now look into each other's eyes for a little too long? longer. bit closer together this time. zhao we need you more vulnerable-- yess perfect. now let's get an angle of lucifer's face, jenny could you put a bit of a blush on him-" and ik's on the sidelines in abject distress going "no god this is awful why did i ever take this job"

satan makes an ig post like "just read the script for the next episode" and it's a selfie of him giving the camera a thumbs up with ik sitting with her head in her hands in the background

Hi, how would Solomon react if he saw how Mephistopheles' demon form now looks? Especially since he went from looking very formal to having been through the blender. ^^' (Both designs look really nice and fitting for his character! ^^

(thank you!! i'm glad you like em :D)

i think at first it'd be regular shock, then quickly followed by a distant sort of horror while he silently catalogues the extent of the damage

his first instinct then would probably be to try to logic out a solution, thinking of ways to 'fix' it so that he doesn't have to really focus on it anymore. it probably also pisses him off a fair bit after a while, in a "you are so stupid for willingly going when you must've KNOWN something like this would happen" way, but also in a "why did you leave me for this" way
