god gave lucifer the mark because lucifer was his favorite, and he would have to kill his most beloved son to free the darkness. in a way, it was an effort to avoid temptation. he made lilith the final seal for the same reason. she's the first human, in his own image? he can't bring himself to do it. lucifer's lover and first creation of his own? lucifer wouldn't be able to do it, either. god's flaw was thinking that lucifer was "like Him" (compassionate enough not to be able to raise his hand against lilith) instead of "like Him" (ruthless enough to orchestrate his cherished one's demise through the divine vessel of sam Winchester)

supernatural fic so good i cracked open the brown-driver-briggs Hebrew and English lexicon to help me make neologisms for worldbuilding. on the upside, i am finally able to comfortably distinguish between the multiple definitions of human, vessel, etc. (is it still a vessel if it's unoccupied? is a human soul required? does a demon count as a human soul?) on the downside, i am actively throwing gasoline on the theorizing fire in my brain. also no one else will be able to understand this fucking fic without a four-year degree and like, months of research.

#I AM THINKING ABOUT THIS.#only came to this intriguing parallel bc i was thinking about the watsonian explanation for kissing being required for branding a #soul by a demon. which led me to invent yadot-mimicry theory if you people even care. (crossroads demons kiss to brand bc they learned #it from lilith who learned it when lucifer used it on her. cain uses the hand-on-forearm technique which is a different method for #the same thing: using demonic spiritual-limbs (=yadot. work with me here.) to imprint a soul.#which is to say......... lucifer learned it from god and passed it on to his horrible little abominations and they don't even know there's #reason it's a kiss OTHER than the medieval theory that witches would kiss satan's butthole to swear fealty. yes this is a real thing.#which is ITSELF derived from the medieval european fealty custom where a liege would kiss their vassal and then slap them.#also a real thing i prommy.#edit: WHY DID I THINK YAD WAS FEMININE.
