vibe with me vibe with me vibewithme. simeon/solomon SO good, you're SO right, related angstifluff inbound as i have been INSPIRED by your beeeautiful artistry once again. okay, SO. picture this— simeon's an angel, right? and he likes appearing normal and playing pretend with the others at RAD. he even likes pretending to be clueless sometimes, because it means the people he cares about will fuss over him. but he's very much Not clueless, and his prophetic eyes see things others can't. and simeon, sweet simeon, is actually so perceptive as a result that he turns around and ends up GENUINELY out of the loop sometimes, because he simply doesn't pick up on the little conflicts of those with a less-heightened perspective. so as time passes in purgatory hall, and he notices that solomon is slowly broadening the distance between them, simeon immediately assumes he's at fault. maybe he missed something and was rude accidentally. maybe he was careless, or gave off the wrong impression. hell, maybe his very status as an angel alone is just too much of a resemblance to michael for them to ultimately get along. he corners the wizard anyway, because he wants to make one last push for peace, and the two, ironically, end up squabbling instead. the argument gets more and more tense, with solomon dodging every olive branch offered and simeon stubbornly pushing for them to move back towards friendship, until solomon, sneering, spits back with a shocking amount of bitterness that someone as tainted as him would never have a chance with an angel anyway, so why does simeon even bother. simeon's brows furrow, his eyes softly aglow with Sight, and he pauses. then, just as carelessly as the sorcerer, he answers with "but Solomon... you're not stained at all. your soul's one of the brightest lights I've ever seen." CHAOS ENSUES.
NONNIE?!?!?! I AM VIBING WITH YOU RIGHT N O W
i do not know where to START with this.........I haven't really Thought Deeply And With Purpose about Simeon so first of all, LOVE the overview of him for me that was very kind and smart of you and hard agree, but also! I think it'd be cute if he's over here acting all clueless and Solomon (the person he WANTS to fuss over him) is just. Withdrawing. So he's a grumpy angel after that for a little bit lol
And when he approaches Solomon, Solomon is as good as dead. Not only does Simeon look devastatingly beautiful in his best diplomatic pose, trying to appeal to every favorite of Solomon's that he knows of, but he also looks devastatingly DEVASTATING and Solomon knows when he's backed up against the junction of the kitchen counters that he is NOT getting out of this unscathed and will probably be completely obliterated because Simeon is NOT one to mess around when he gets like this.
AND SOLOMON HAVING THE BRIGHTEST SOUL EVER.......THAT HITS!!!
I normally go for making him all broody and actually having a tainted soul (is it bc I like the idea of worldbuilding that demons actually take over a sliver of your soul in a pact? or i like him brooding? or i just have chronic 'i can save him' syndrome? i don't know) but GOD........Simeon doesn't say anything about it before because he just assumes he knows! He has Michael's ring for crying out loud and there hasn't been holy campaign to get it back! The soul isn't so fickle as to be defined by the company he's kept, it's connected to HIM and HE is good! HE takes care of his fellow humans even after they've left him behind! HE loves so deeply and honestly and hurts himself more to save those he loves! the ANGST! the FEELINGS!
whoever you are anon, we are on the same WAVELENGTH here! This is exactly the kind of thing I was thinking (the exact scenario? all yours of course and GENIUS to boot) so I think this means I owe you my life....? please claim your reward within the next 24 hours
