okay my tags were getting too long, so basically
I think Lucifer is definitely going to have a hard time adjusting to being at the hotel. (Granted this is entirely from my introvert-with-depression standpoint and Lucifer may not be an introvert BUT) I'm not even talking about his abysmal social skills that are nerfed further by dissociation. I'm talking about how, he's lived what... at least 7 years now, most likely LONGER in his little hidey duck hole. Doesn't care about anyone that much really except his daughter, who up until now, he didn't know how to interact with, and possibly frederick who we know nothing about. So no real reason to be leaving. So when he does leave, it's infrequent. Sure that's fine. He can handle that, just put on a clown mask and he's good to go. But once the event is done or he's just tired of masking, he can just crawl back to the hidey hole
At the hotel tho... He might get his own private wing and all that but he's going to have a lot more people be around him a lot more often, which means grabbing that mask way more often (this is assuming, he's like me, and feels an intense need to perform around other people and doesn't know how to turn off masking) which quite frankly, is exhausting. If he wants to be present and helpful, he's going to need to pull out that mask way more often.
(Uhhh I feel like I should clarify, when I say mask, I don't mean he's not being genuine, I mean he's hiding that he's feeling miserable by pretending to be [insert positive emotion here] instead. Like his personality is there, but it's that disconnect when someone is being cheery when very clearly they are upset. It's still them. They're not hiding who they are, but they are hiding how they're feeling because of not wanting that to be perceived or not wanting to be a load, or they just don't feel safe sharing that they're in pain/vulnerable)
BUT THAT BEING SAID Lucifer will have one thing going for him that Alastor doesn't.
It doesn't matter how charming, how affable or how wellspoken a person is, if it's not coming from a genuine place then that interaction/trust/relationship isn't going to last. Alastor may be a good showman, charming, fun, mostly pleasant, but he doesn't care.
Sure, Lucifer isn't going to go around showing he has depression but his love and care for his daughter are real. He may have had his hopes shattered and his faith "betrayed" by people in the past but at his core, he always has been and always will be a lover. Case in point, in Dad Beat Dad, he was so damn polite and patient with nearly everyone (except Al). He even let Niffty scale him like a tree. He didn't like it, but he let her

If that's not patience idk what is. His social skills might be total garbage, and he might flub everything he says, especially if he's only getting 50% of conversations, but he's TRYING and he's going to CARE, and that will ultimately shine through
Alastor doesn't care. He's there for reasons none of us actually know, but it's clear it's not for Charlie nor her cause. He's convenient and he's charismatic. But when push came to shove, he showed that he was opportunistic and wrangled a favor out of charlie when she was desperate. In stark contrast, her dad very explicitly told her, "yeah i'm never gonna charge you for needing my help. Just ask." Alastor isn't genuine with the people around him, and eventually that is going to show
Honestly, what i'm most worried about is the figurative arms race this is going to put Alastor, Lucifer and the rest of the cast in.
Lucifer is going to have a rough start with the other hotel residents. He might be the king of hell, they might show respect to his authority, but genuinely connecting with him? Trusting him to be on their side? That's going to be difficult for everyone involved and is going to take a while. Eventually, his wellmeaning nature should eventually come through and they can make good and meaningful bonds but
Alastor already has a solid reputation as someone who is reliable. He's charismatic and fun to talk to, and for the most part, does his job.
The arms race is how many people can Alastor wrangle onto on his side before the jig is up and true colors show? Cuz when true colors show, no one will be siding with him. Alastor only has until the jig is up to get people to not trust or not like Lucifer, cuz after that, he will have no sway over them.
It's a waiting game. Lucifer has to hold out until the true colors show, and Alastor has to keep things going as long as possible
I can only hope that when the jig IS up, that it won't be on Alastor's terms...
Taking this as a sign Lucifer will be living at the hotel from now on (bless)

The problem Alastor had with him in Dad Beat Dad, Lucifer being more powerful and able to provide for the hotel in his place, might come back potentially in even worse condition?
Because what Alastor had over him was actively supporting Charlie's dreams and doing whatever he could for her to achieve them despite his ulterior motives, and being a strange source of emotional comfort for her with mentoring her through her issues at the same time- being the only one who could fill the position as her provider at the very least

But now Lucifer is moving in, AND has finally stepped up as the dad that's going to support her both in the materialistic sense and now as a major source of emotional support she's always wanted from him and only him specifically
Tumblr media
One thing I think makes a difference between them is most definitely Alastor's charisma and ability to manipulate people into doing what he wants for the hotel's benefit, and just teaching her more about hell and making connections- is infinitely stronger than Lucifer's, who is usually honest about his feelings and has been socially stunted for awhile, isolating himself since his depression started developing after losing his family for years
