I have this headcanon that Satan always lowkey existed in Lucifer. He was a voice in Lucifer's head that Lucifer always just chalked up to being his conscious or inner voice, not a whole other person he was growing inside of him.
I imagine that Satan's voice in Lucifer started out as really really quiet but over time got louder and more distinct. I also think that Lucifer's way of thinking slowly changed. He'd think in the first person and it slowly changed to third person as Satan grew more
Ex: *My* sandwich is still in the fridge -> Our sandwich is still in the fridge -> Your sandwich is still in the fridge
Transitioning from Lucifer speaking about just himself because he's the only one who exists, to talking about him and Satan collectively with "we" and "us" and "our", to Satan being able to speak for himself and to Lucifer in and out of his head. Sometimes Lucifer would slip up and say things stuff like "We are going to bed" only for people to be confused af
There'd be little moments where Lucifer would black out now and then because Satan got control. Usually in fits of anger. Lucifer would feel ashamed for whatever Satan made him do and could never remember exactly what happened and everyone would think it was just from stress or some one time thing until it started happening more often leading up to what happened to Lilith.
Yeah, Satan's voice would be violent and angry, but there were times when it was affectionate and genuinely helpful. It'd encourage Lucifer to speak out if he was overworked or to snap at people when Lucifer wouldn't say what he really felt to keep the peace.
Lucifer's pride and need to set an example for everyone because he's an archangel would prevent him from ever admitting that he needed help. That he was absolutely miserable from the pressure of it.
A great example of this would be Lucifer's wings. It's canon that wings are a status symbol in the Celestial Realm and Lucifer having 12 is a huuuge honor. They'd make Lucifer flaunt his wings around at all times to show off that he had them. That hes special and powerful and Father's favorite. There's been a few times where Mammon had mentioned that Lucifer was miserable from it. How his wings were too heavy. That they'd drag on the ground when he walked. If they got caught on stuff they'd pull and ache. Other angels most likely would grab them and pet them whenever they felt like it with no regard as to whether or not Lucifer wanted them to. Lucifer's wings were so loved angels would literally pay for some of his feathers. In the og game there's a text chat where it talks about a scam Mammon ran where he found some white feathers and lied to people that they were Lucifer's and sold them for a ton of money. (Which debunks the theory that the brothers developed their sins after they fell, btw. They were always sinful it's just since they fell they could let loose and indulge. All of them use their sin as a coping mechanism. Mammon was always greedy.)
I think Satan would know. Satan would feel how much Lucifer secretly resented having the damned things. How exhausting taking care of them is. How violating it is having people act like they're entitled to put their grubby little hands on you whenever they feel like it. Especially since it was his body too, once. I could totally see a scenario where Satan goes apeshit on an angel out of the blue while in Lucifer's body. He'd snap at a lower ranking angel after they pet their his wings and Satan exploded at them, only for Lucifer to regain control and be deeply embarassed of the outburst. Lucifer wouldn't realize yet that it wasn't technically him, and even if he did nobody would've believed him.
It's probably the whole reason Lucifer tore them off in the first place. That and it represents the way he felt trapped in the Celestial Realm and him cutting off his wings was him literally cutting out that part of his life. Maybe Satan was given his own body because Lucifer didn't need him in his head to stick up for him like that anymore. Satan did his job.
I think Satan kinda resents Lucifer for not leaving sooner. For not asserting himself and telling all of them to fuck off long before they killed Lilith. I'm not going to get into it in this post but it's been made very clear all of the other brothers were mistreated and outcast in the Celestial Realm before they fell and before they killed Lilith. It's probably the whole reason she was willing to die for a human. Because she didn't see her life in the Celestial Realm as one worth living.
I think this is one of the reasons Satan hates Lucifer Because he never stuck up for himself and his loved ones until it was too late. Satan was an unwilling participant and had no say in the matter whenever Lucifer said or did something he disagreed with. Especially since if he had done it sooner then Satan would've gotten to be his own person sooner.
I'm just now remembering that one lesson in the og obey me where Lucifer and Satan get body swapped and holy shit, can you imagine how upsetting that was for Satan? Not only becoming the person you hate most but also going back to being trapped in your old body that was never really yours. I think Satan associates that with being helpless and not in control. Probably why Satan was planning on messing up Lucifer's big speech. It was an act of spite for all the times he and Lucifer were still stuck together and Lucifer did something that Satan didn't want in their shared body. It's like being a conjoined twin but your sibling is the only one who can move your shared body and talk. Now that the body is his and only his he can finally make up for it. Now Lucifer knows what it's like to be the "leftovers" and how horrific it is to have someone else decide and do everything for you without your input. Lucifer has to take the backseat while Satan calls the shots for once. It's why he is contradicts everything Lucifer does, it's because he can finally say NO
Anyway, the whole reason I made this post is because I think Lucifer sometimes misses having Satan's voice in his head. Like his mind feels weirdly lonely and quiet sometimes. He misses having another person to talk to at all times to confide in, and now it's just weird bring separated. I think whenever Lucifer gets drunk, he regularly calls Satan and cries. And it's not weird or shameful because everything Lucifer is crying about is stuff Satan already knew about. Stuff not even Mammon knows about. Worries about not being good enough, if he did the right thing, if he could've done more. Despite Satan claiming he hates him, Satan spends the entire time reassuring and comforting him. Lucifer makes a huge habit of calling Satan almost every day once RAD ends and everyone moves into their own homes. Lucifer lies and says he calls all of his brothers just as often as he calls Satan, but it's not true. He just wants to hear Satan talk.
Lmao i can Lucifer spam calling Satan because he misses him (it's been 3 hours since they'd seen each other) and Satan initially dodges the calls because "ew Lucifer" only to be worried because he's gotten 23 missed calls from Lucifer. Really it's just Lucifer listening to Satan's voicemail 23 times over because Satan won't answer his DDD
anti-doomerism has actually improved the way I handle my depression. I’ll think something like “I have nothing to look forward to, everything is getting worse and it’s not getting better” and then I’ll be like “whoa, cringelord. you sound like an emo 14 year old. you’re not helping anyone or anything with that misanthropic hopeless attitude. grow the fuck up.” and I bully myself back into participating in life, because depression and the associated dark thoughts are so cringe
So many "I was born too late" takes are actually "I was born poor" like I'm sure you WOULD have loved whatever historical quirk you're talking about, but sadly you would not have been allowed to do that. You would have died in a coal mine aged 13.
Being afab will not protect you from dying young in a coal mine. They put wee lassies down there all the time and sometimes they died, just as the boys did. Your understanding of historical gender roles is filtered through the gender roles of the mid 20th century. Yes you would also have faced other gender based violence on top of this probably, but that doesn't make you exempt from death via coal mine.
Also thank you to every single person of colour in the notes pointing out how white the take I'm critiquing is. You are 100% right.
tumblr users being generally knowledgeable about phishing attempts and scams and yet not hesitating to click various links from unknown users because they say such things as "spin the wheel to determine your alvin and the chipmunks band persona based on my favorite italian desserts" and we go "heck yeah."
I don't have any Male Mc requests but I want to write male Mc so I'll just make shit up as I go. I know there have been complaints about a lack of male Mc, but I will write it if anyone wants to step into my inbox with hopefully specific instructions.
Bros + Dia and Sol x Mc (DiaLuciMc cameo)
TW: kissing the homies goodnight
Lucifer's flirting is actually more reserved at first. He's testing the waters just to make sure Mc isn't straight, once he gets through that he is all in.
Lucifer is invested in matching ties. He gifts Mc a tie before every event and expects him to wear it. He thinks he's being subtle.
Lucifer is aware he is gay he not denying that, he is only denying being gay for Diavolo because he likes two very attractive men and forgets he has two hands. The human seems like a more plausible option than the actual prince of the Devildom who may get an arrangement thrown at him at any point (jokes on Ido!Luci lmao).
The way Lucifer will stare Mc down if he tries to pay. He doesn't see Mc as feminine or anything, he just doesn't think it would be fair since he's the one being given a chance after being a bitch in general and helping Diavolo kidnap him for the first round, Luci is aware needs to repay Mc for that.
Obviously Mammon is just being a Bros bro. No homo or anything as he holds Mc's hand, kisses them good night, and clings to their waist.
Mc is so aware of the crush Mammon has on him that he just lets Mammon keep going with the narrative to not scare him off but Mammon says no homo to not scare Mc off because humans have been weird about sexuality.
Mammon forgot he was gay until Mc showed up. He could forget he exists so it's not a surprise he'd forget he likes men, especially with female witches summoning him but they're all lesbian for some reason? Mammon doesn't know anything except wanting Mc.
Cross dresses at dates so the check will automatically go to Mc. It was pre-established that Mammon ain't paying but this way if Mc tries to give Mammon the check he'll get weird looks. It's fine though because Mammon bought Mc other stuff he wanted.
Mammon makes his crows follow Mc up to the human realm. He's spent enough time up there himself to know humans will create a slur for anything that isn't white and straight.
Leviathan decides to study Bl instead of actually taking Mc out on a date.
If Mc wears a Henry cosplay, Leviathan's life is his. Now do Roy mustang, Gojo Satoru, and any other hot male character to kill Leviathan.
Leviathan wants to recreate the KFC breakup with Mc and multiple other MLM adjacent scenes to ease Mc -as in himself- into actual BL scenes. Maybe a kiss scene but he's a coward, Mc would need to lead that.
Satan has only been attracted to book characters so far and didn't think fictional taste translated into real life so he didn't know having book boyfriends meant he was gay because they aren't real, and then there was Mc.
Satan uses Polari to impress Mc. He knows it's outlived its intended purpose, but he can still be impressive.
another man that uses books as a reference for dating another man. Satan knows he pays, he threw a chair in Mc's general direction yesterday in a tantrum.
Asmo wastes zero time pulling Mc into a bath to make sure they're not like most human men using axe. He allows two in one since it can be better for some people's hair, but Mc isn't leaving Asmo room without a good routine that probably makes him smell like flowers considering what Asmo uses.
Asmo has suits, so many suits that are custom to match Asmo's various outfits.
Kisses Mc goodnight, with permission, and doesn't even both saying no homo, in fact it is very homo and he wants Mc in his room but Mc said no since the brothers will throw a tantrum if they can't all pile in his bed.
Asks directly Mc's preferences. If he doesn't like men then Asmo knows a few girls that are interested, or he becomes a girl since Asmo probably doesn't limit to just male, lust can be any shape.
Beel is the only one other than Asmo to ask Mc's preferences directly. His reaction is neutral regardless, but he may flirt once he is certain he actually has a chance.
Beel knows humans are not kind about sexuality and offers to go with Mc to the human realm to protect them, at least at events.
Beel gets Mc to train with him so they can carry each other. He honestly just wants a turn in being picked up.
Belphegor plays twenty questions with Mc and the first thing he asks is Mc's type, not his gender preference his type. He falls asleep the second he gets his answer.
Mc better not say no homo after a kiss even as a joke or he'll be rejected from Belphegor's cuddle pile.
Two men sleeping in the same bed, two feet apart because they aren't gay (yes they are, Belphegor looks offended at being accused of being straight when he's actively flirting with Mc)
God dammit now Diavolo has two men he really wants but can't really have. Between Lucifer and Mc he is going to lose his mind.
Diavolo has asked Mc about the "kissing the homies goodnight" saying to try and get his own kiss goodnight. Please Mc?
Diavolo hasn't been to the human realm in a while so he tries using polari to find Mc's preferences. He fails since it's out of use and Mc is trying to flirt back the normal way.
Solomon decided the gayest thing he can do is bring Mc a frog. He hasn't flirted with humans of any gender in a very long time since they all die and who doesn't like frogs?
oh no, Solomon fucked up a spell so now he'll die if Mc isn't holding his hand for the next twenty four hours in which he'll try and make sure Mc is not straight so they can get straight, as in straight to kissing.
Another polari user that fails miserably because he forgot no one uses it anymore. Solomon is devastated and teaches Mc immediately.
You don't decide how you feel while watching a movie scene. John Williams does. You felt awe and wonder the first time you saw a dinosaur in Jurassic Park because John Williams told you to. If he had scored that scene differently, you'd have felt differently.
That's not just music, it's also magic.
The Jaws theme wouldn't be one of the most recognizable pieces of music ever if it wasn't legitimate music. And familiar chords and themes in music are just the same thing as writing tropes.
i understand (on paper) why companies are anti-piracy but its funny when random individuals are also strongly anti-piracy. like how does it negatively affect your life if someone you know downloads a cracked torrent of sims 4. you dont work for EA. EA isnt gonna pay you for this. you lose nothing. its fine. chill out.
Always always always tell people you love they are so smart and capable. I will die on this hill. More often than not people are raised in unforgiving environments that tell them they are inherently “stupid” and not good enough for things, whether that be parents or cruel bosses or unsupportive friends. An underrated way of supporting people is reminding them they are brilliant no matter what anyone has ever said about their intellect and potential. People can do wonders when it’s affirmed to them their limiting beliefs are just that: limiting beliefs.
