#it’s canon I’m solmare

[yunoftheclouds]

What’s with this sassy, lost child?

[mammomlette]

People don’t talk about MC needing to wear a magical ring to not accidentally yk cause NATURAL DISASTERS with their powers??? Not only accidentally but without realising???

Diavolo or smthn is asking too much of MC or being a bit too annoying and their other hand slowly drifts towards the ring and they hold onto it while maintaining dead eye contact. Like continue to piss me off hoe I’ll blink and blow a hole in your castle idk

Obv they never do it (or do they?) but the threat is there and it’s a risk dia (or whoever but I’m using dia) can’t take

[shootingstarrfish]

i know you probably have a lot of requests so pls no pressure but can i pretty pLEASE beg you for transmasc mammon i’m on my Knees 🫶🏻 him being trans is so canon btw i know bc mammon is just like me fr (i’m threatening solmare to never mess with my mammon hcs, so real) (i’m sane about mammon)

“Solmare please look up continuity”

//Yes 💯 please I’m suffering over here with conflicting pieces of lore that I have to still treat each separate item as canon…

I swear the devs don’t even keep track of the random facts they drop in their own game

I feel bad sometimes when I see certain facts get put out by the bot because it’s like Schrodinger’s lore over here, and when people ask me like “but that doesn’t make sense because (other canon piece of lore)!” All I can say is “yes 😭” because the devs can’t keep their own lore straight

Yes I’m talking about Beel being able to smell angels/demons/humans, being basically ignored for the first several lessons of NB

[diavolo-is-babygirl]

So I’m bopping around on Reddit and just crashed into the latest Obey Me announcement.

Apparently we’re not getting any canon closure on Diavolo because we’re not getting any canon closure on anything.

The Obey Me games are officially dead and buried. We’re getting a few more bits of Nightbringer, and that’s it. The NB experience, which was soooooo hyped up prior to release, is now gone in my opinion.

They made the Nightbringer website and everything, only to have everything fall apart.

I’ve been sour towards NB for a very long time. Now I’m venomously bitter towards Solmare as a whole. I honestly think everything they’re now doing is nothing more than a cash grab.

Does this mean I’m abandoning this blog, especially since we’re apparently not getting any closure on Diavolo’s canon lore?

Absolutely not. These last couple of weeks have been emotionally challenging for me, but this has inspired me to return to creating content.

I’m going to create my own versions of OG and NB. I’m going to flesh out Diavolo’s lore myself. I hope you’ll stay with me as I do!

plus it’s Christmas time 😝

Just wanted to say how grateful I am to have artists, and content creators in general, like you in the fandom❤️ I like your portrayal to every character, the four stages concept is so interesting.❤️

It's a shame solmare never thought about going beyond showing a pair of horns and wings as a "demonic" form, the designs makes them look like they're wearing a halloween costume rather than being actual high ranked demons, and now with how their personalities have wattered down, they're just men with demon names.

That means a lot to me! I’m still surprised my designs are getting as much traction as they are when I first made them 2-3 years ago. Concept art is my profession so creating new ideas is what I love to do, even playing around with things that already exist.

I got into Obey me! originally because I did like the designs at first. The RAD uniform is great, and the characters “demon” outfits are also nicely designed, in my opinion. Everything feels it “goes together”. But I noticed as time went on and new events came out, the design choices were…interesting. Some of the costumes are just??? Like the color choices, the shapes??? Even now I’ll see some stuff and I’m like WHO IS DESIGNING THIS?? Now if you like it, that’s cool, it just ain’t for me. So, I’ll make content I do like and share it with others who might like it too!

I personally love horror and dark art, and monsters (obviously), and when I want demons, I want DEMONS. I want the story to be messy, tragic, and horrifying, but some humor to lighten it up, you know? If Obey me! had any of that I would still be playing. So as of now, I just have my own fan canon and story for it for fun.

I’m currently looking forward to the new game TouchStarved and hope it might be more what my taste is.

Also, I did get some attention from the official obey me twitter when I first uploaded the monster design of Leviathan. And that was super cool! But that also means that since they’ve seen it, it will most likely not happen, because I know some things can get messy if they start creating concept based on fanart. (I believe Tekken had some issues creating some characters because they kept seeing fanart of what they wanted to make but couldn’t, because of legal reasons). But then again, they could also make their own designs but uhhh…my expectations are not high. I’ve seen other artists create their own monster versions and the creativity is incredible. Sometimes fans make better content, honestly.

Thanks for sticking around and liking my stuff! I’ll keep making it if you guys keep liking it. 🙂‍↕️

[arie2faced]

in regards to the end of service announcement from solmare i have three simple words:

WHAT.

THE.

FUCK.

i’m on facetime with my sister (who knows NOTHING about obey me, mind you) and she was making jokes that:

“at least the canon event memes are going to be funny. painful, but funny.”

yes, dear sister, yes they will..

hashtag SCREW SOLMAREEEEE.

[dsimeon]

So, I’m working on some big worldbuilding things for my Obey Me! rewrite. So, I must ask-

Would you rather the rewrite be more biblically accurate (ex, the angels being reorganized into whatever rank they would ACTUALLY hold according to the lore) or should I stick with what Solmare has given us as canon in that respect?

I personally would have to do a lot of research, as i am ex-mormon and blocked out pretty much everything I learned with the church from my mind, but I’m more than willing to do so if people are interested in the accuracy.

ABOUT ME [THE WRITER]

Ra (pron. she/her) is a nickname I chose for myself. I may be in my 20s, but my mind is that of a tattered old lady, yes. Laziness devours me. I yearn for the old times and cling to my DVDs. Every now and then I disappear or go on hiatus because my affinity bar is maxed out with exquisite mental health.

+[1] a lover of art from almost each of its movements prior to the 21st century, while Pop Surrealism is the strange, modern dessert I delight in.

My taste in most things is quite curious. I write and supposedly make ‘art’ once in a blue moon as well, so I’m a semi-illustrator. Anatomy and I are longing strangers. And though dealing with romance in real life is undesirable to me, I do delight in painting my work with a palette of sweet love, tragic romances, and twisted hearts.

+[2] Russian literature is a drop of reality and tragic paradise.

+[3] Tragedy, dark/twisted themes, horror, and gore make my brain pulse with excited admiration.

+[5] I may have written—and continue to write—a considerable number of fanfiction works, but it is much, much too rare for me to read those of others.

+[4] A premium-grade night owl who can either stay up until morning and wake up at 8AM, or go much earlier to bed.

+[6] Years ago, perhaps in 2019, the ancestor of this blog was crafted under my current username @oceanlipgloss, and on its digital walls I also taped writings for the same games I write fics about now still (with the exception of both ‘Love and Deepspace’ and ‘What in “Hell” is Bad?,’ of course, since both projects had not yet gotten launched back then), so a number of my works are actually old; I chose to deactivate said account during April of 2022. Truth be told, however, I would never have managed to remember neither the month nor year of deactivation were it not for my awareness of a reblog on a once renowned fic of mine (fun fact #1: that fic is ‘Wishes to the Devil’; back then it was the most popularly beloved alphabetical creation I had made).

+[7] @graffitifactory makes for my secondary writing blog; it is particular to fics about Shaw of MLQC. Very rarely do I log-in and put anything up on it now.

+[8] I always give MCs and OCs names I’m fond of, meaning any in-game name that may appear in screenshots I post is not mine. In my mind, the stories are all unrelated to me, and each MC is an individual absolutely separate from and completely different from myself. To put it otherwise: as I play, I view myself as a distant reader and faraway spectator, for I have no interest in being doted on, quite frankly, whether that be in virtual worlds or reality :P

ABOUT MY WRITINGS [THE FANFICS]

On this little slice of internet I stack all my fics like scoops of ice cream—most of them are bitter with melancholy, a couple are spicy with sensuality, and some are sugary with romance.

My writings are not in the sort of style and themes normally sprinkled in popular culture. They can be as short as less than a 100 words and pretty peculiar, but I try to keep them as canonical as could be, for that caters to my tastes. Oftentimes, I make sure to conduct a study on characters and do not write any piece about them before I understand them to the bone, yet there may still be exceptions, however rare.

None of my works are ever sexually explicit, but all of them are written in the 3rd person perspective and maintain feminine pronouns; fanfics about ‘Mystic Messenger,’ ‘Love and Deepspace,’ ‘Love and Producer,’ and ‘What in “Hell” is Bad?’ revolve around the existing female MCs (including their official traits and appearances), while ‘Obey Me!’ fics star my original female MC (with descriptions of her looks, as well as mentions of her qualities, personality, talents, and hobbies).

The otome world knocked on my window about a decade earlier, so I’ve played about 99% of Voltage Inc.’s old games and 95% of NTT Solmare’s. As of now, though, the games I write—and have written—for are five:

+ MYSTIC MESSENGER

+ SHALL WE DATE? OBEY ME!

+ LOVE AND DEEPSPACE

+ LOVE AND PRODUCER

+ WHAT IN “HELL” IS BAD? [GAME_UNINSTALLED]

—note: someday, my writings may include Tokyo Ghoul.

Subjects and themes I am fond of writing about—as well as may tint my works with at times—on the other hand, are as such:

+ art & surrealism

+ classics & history

+ fairy tales & folklore

+ vintage times & pop culture

+ broken souls & romance

+ tragedy, identity & death

+ sacrilege & the forbidden

+ crime, infidelity & obsession

+ dark themes* & messy selves

+ gore, thrillers & body horror

+ psychological torture & toxicity

+ religion, destiny & philosophy

*like: somnophilia, non-consensual sex, sex with dubious consent, as well as much of the above material which has been aforementioned.

+ MYSTIC MESSENGER: ¹ the twins | ² Jumin Han, V | ³ Rika (interest × loathing; she is such an intriguing and complex soul, but I will hate her to death even as I lie a cold corpse in my black grave).

FAVOURITE CHARACTERS* [THE RANKINGS]

*from media in my writings.

+ SHALL WE DATE? OBEY ME!: ¹ Mephistopheles | ² Raphael, Simeon | ³ Mammon, Belphegor, Lucifer, Satan.

+ LOVE AND DEEPSPACE: ¹ Sylus | ¹½ Rafayel | ² Xavier | ³ Zayne.

+ LOVE AND PRODUCER: ¹ Shaw | ² Gavin | ³ Victor.

+ WHAT IN “HELL” IS BAD?: ¹ Satan, Lucifer, Leviathan.

21+/indie/semi selective

mostly blog/online style posting supplemented with narrative. may do threads as though theyre in-person, but i like to talk about them first rather than just have it happen suddenly.

only canon up to the pact; if you know what that means, that’s good! if you don’t, it isn’t a big issue.

please don’t just approach my character as though it’s in person without first asking me; that is to say, if you’d like that sort of thread/roleplay, please talk with me first.

ic is not ooc. this is playing pretend on the internet for fun, fictional stories.

potentially mature themes; this is one of the cardinal sins. he likes horror and isn’t immune to violent outbursts; canonically, he’s murdered the protagonist in cold blood once and then he really tried it twice the moment he thought he saw them breathing and upright again. him and his brothers have eviscerated other demons as a bonding exercise. his favorite food involves monster brains in a stew. themes of depression and grief. discretion advised.

do feel free to throw anons/magic anons at belphie. magic is a factor in this universe, it’s not beyond the pale to think a mysterious power can throw things at him; i do have a right to pick or not pick ones i do or don’t like.

do feel free to make comments at belphie on the dashboard, i mean. hopefully obviously. interaction is good.

do feel free to message me/dm me if you need anything. let me know if i’ve missed something, or tell me if you have any ideas or want to see about anything. its fun to bounce ideas around, it feels friendly and sociable.

i am so relaxed. very little bothers me fictionally/media-wise. i am not going into politics on this blog, let alone over cartoons, i mean… i made it to relax and have fun… please understand.

another sin on solmare’s tally: i just crossed the 25k mark of my fic and i have to rewrite like.. at MINIMUM a third of it because solmare decided to put their lore behind a paywall and relying on me being able to coherently read the (two separate and disconnected) wiki(s) means i misinterpret fundamental parts of canon and only find out i’m wrong after i make said incorrect fact a borderline centerpiece of the fic.

this post is about simeon lore. solmare got one thing about biblical canon correct and it’s that lemons taste sweet when compared to god’s ‘grace’

— blue

IM SO LATE TO THIS BUT BLUE. BLUE NO. BLUE NO!!!!!!! you can do WHATEVER YOU WANT FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! canon is YOURS now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

honestly the lore for this game is SO inaccessible i just make things up as i go along. the more confidence you play it with, the better. I think stressing over canon details and stuff makes writing more difficult at times, especially when you've found inspiration in a specific idea .

listen if solmare wont comply to the canon of their source material (bible) then you dont have to comply to the source material of your writing (obm) . shakes you

[jackalopesao3]

I’ve made a few posts on the topic! You may be on to something!

So, one of my theories is that NB could be Barbatos working under Solomon via pact. That could be why he’s so angry.

Another is that NB could be both Barb and Sol working together and it’s an alias for the two of them.

And I have touched on Sol being NB. It’s funny that so many characters comment on not considering him human anymore. It might not mean anything but then again it might be a hint to something more. Thirteen notes that his soul changed after he made his pact with Barb. Sol’s soul was once similar to MC’s before that.

I’m not sure what the timelines are going to end up being. If this is past Sol or current Sol is hard to tell due to his access to Barbatos’ time knowledge.

There’s even a possibility no one is in the past. A lot of characters are exhibiting symptoms more similar to amnesia or trauma related memory loss. This could be one mass illusion that only MC and Solomon can see through. And if Solomon’s the one that started it…he could have lied about MC disappearing from their world.

Otherwise, if they truly are in a different timeline (as things have been altered now), there’s no way present day Solomon could have past Barbatos in the NB timeline under his control bc the timeline has split and there’s another Solomon for that timeline, not just the past. They talked about the multiverse theory in game through Solomon so it’s canon that multiple timelines can exist. I’m not sure the direction Solmare is going yet but they have options. As someone who’s watched documentaries on quantum physics it’s interesting and a pleasant surprise to find in an otome.

As far as intentions go, I’m honestly wondering what it is for Solomon.

Initially, I thought that maybe he wanted someone to help him defend humanity as it’s lonely to be the sole protector.

Later, I thought that maybe he wants to use MC as an example of how humans should be seen on equal footing as demons and angels.

Recently, I’m almost concerned it’s because he wants MC all to himself or to make MC rely on him. Some of the texts between them are getting a little too comfortable - almost like he planned this. The tone sounds almost manipulative in a way. It’s hard to explain but something just seems off. I really like Solomon regardless lol so this would just make him all the more interesting to me!

I don’t necessarily think his motives are bad either. He just may not have the right approach. Humans are viewed as inferior to demons and angels and the other beings are often butting into their lives and trying to influence their world from what recent lessons show. He’s trying to change their views and again, he’s the only human that can currently hold his own against them. MC is getting there so this may even be some sort of trial.

[THEORY. SPOILERS INCLUDED]

Imagine if Solomon is Nightbringer. Point being:

-Future Solomon knows MC’s relationship with the brothers well. So does Nightbringer.

- He is also the first to reach out to us. Wouldn’t it be easier for him to ask Barbatos to contact us and pull our ass back?

Some of y’all may want to argue that if Solomon is the past Solomon, why didn’t he remember the beef he had with Barbatos?

He DOES. You’re telling me he can remember some ancient ass spells and can’t remember the beef that got the time demon to despise him. X to doubt. Would he really tell you his true motive? After all he is the witty sorcerer.

More proof? Nightbringer is brought up at one point in the lesson too. Some dead person said that Nightbringer told them their prophecy and that MC has the capability of fulfilling it. So Nightbringer do know the power MC has.

- Why is this being brought up? Who else is messing with the past like Nightbringer is? Solomon. Like him casually saying that they should avoid doing anything that messes with the future but also making a pact with Asmo and yet no consequences. He’s fine.

- Maybe past Solomon also heard about his prophecy from Nightbringer.

- Not to mention he doesn’t really act the same as he did in the present. Given that Solomon did live for a long time, it’s safe to assume that he knows a thing or two about capturing one’s heart, whether human or demons.

Want even more proof? Who’s the one narrating the Prologue Movie? Solomon.

Not to mention the lines from it:

“With a flurry of trumpets from his king, the demon appeared.”

- The only king we ever known is probably the Demon King (Diavolo’s dad) but would he really care about some human? Not likely.

- However in biblical textbooks, Solomon is referred to as King Solomon. He also mentions somewhere in season 2 in the original game that he did build a large “house” (looks at castle in the video that is not likely the demon lord’s castle 👀).

- King of the time demon, perhaps a pack master?

I believe his plan goes like this:

Send MC back to the past to his past self.

No brother is gonna cockblock them since they live under the same roof and the brothers are not familiar with MC yet.

Flirty sorcerer becomes the only source of comfort, only one MC can rely on.

Use MC as a tool to gain respect. If his apprentice is strong enough to handle the seven demon brothers, it’ll make other demons see him as more of a threat.

Persuading them to stand by Humanity. Who is the only human other than MC we know? Solomon. Standing by humanity means he wants us to stand by HIM.

But that’s just a theory. A game theory! And cut.

[shootingstarrfish]

I’m falling back into this fandom, help me when did we get new characters? When did mepho get a body? Who is Raphael and 13?

to be honest i haven't been around long enough to know when it happened, maybe someone who's been around longer can reply with that answer! and welcome back to the fandom, what a time to fall back into it hahaha no time like the present though

but thirteen is a reaper who is also solomon's biggest hater (solomon is entirely unaware as to why), she takes an interest in MC because their soul is shiny and beautiful and she's very intrigued and she wants their soul badly. ironically this is the same reason she initially took an interest in solomon but his soul doesnt look like that anymore according to her and she's salty about it she likes playing pranks on people, she lives in a cave full of curses that even she doesn't fully know about, and she has an older sister named candy who she's supposedly afraid of/avoids?

raphael is an angel, the youngest angel to achieve seraphim status specifically. he's described as a hitman but we dont see him doing a lot of hitman-ing to be honest, but we know his weapon of choice is a spear and he can summon a rain of spears! he likes solomons atrocious cooking and he sews, he's really deadpan and will help out with things but kinda begrudgingly and i'm convinced if he ever got a canon sin it would've been sloth he essentially kinda just has to play along with michael's every whim and demand and bro is TIRED but he can't do much about it

it's also definitely canon that he likes hedgehogs and he definitely canonically has a pet hedgehog and it's very canon and true, john solmare is my uncle and he told me so

anyway mephi 13 and raphael were apparently initially intended to be dateable eventually but that never happened and probably never will now but alas :,) i was actually dating raphael all along in my heart

[rsmrymnt-tea]

Lowkey glad I never really fleshed out that thing I had with Dola and the Reaper granting her some kind of conditional immortality because that’s going to be a lot of rewriting depending on how Thirteen is

I HALF CALLED IT!

I’m over here still struggling to get my DK headcanon story together and Solmare is over there dropping the actually canon lol~ 

[mcl-mia]

” @shummashum​: I'm not sure but Hiro seems to have some kind of self loathing tendency? 😮”

//you know what, let’s talk about this! i’m back on a hiro loving crusade and i’m not about to stop here!

to say that he has a self loathing tendency isn’t exactly untrue, but i believe it’s a little off the mark. i wouldn’t say it’s loathing, but more of a lack of self-confidence. 

now, there are things that hiro is certainly confident in: his skills as a swordsman, and that he’s the only one who can protect zeus (he says the latter in this same spin off, btw). you could also say that he’s very confident in his ability to love and care about what he DOES love and care about, if that makes sense. 

now, in order to get to the core of where all this lack of self-confidence comes from, we have to think about how hiro grew up: as a retainer in the brundle household with a strict father who always reminded hiro of his status as a retainer. now, while is has been said that zeus and hiro were “raised like brothers”, hiro openly states in his route that while that is true (because of zeus and zeus’ father’s attitude towards hiro), he was raised to protect zeus. pack that in with the huge amount of magical power that zeus possesses, plus the fact that zeus is popular and canonically very attractive, and you have a big ‘ol recipe for an inferiority complex, even if hiro doesn’t fully realize it. there’s a lot that we can gather just by how zeus and hiro talk about each other, and it’s one of the things that i think solmare does almost consistently well. there’s always a reserved tone that hiro has when he talks about their relationship, but i think that’s another post entirely. one of these days i’ll talk more about it. one of these days, BUT I DIGRESS.

as a result of all that, hiro genuinely doesn’t think that he is an equal to those around him. this is prominent in his birthday spin-off (above), his own route, and even in the mr. gedonelune 2 event story. in his happy end, he says that he “was happy just being zeus’ assisstant, but [he] was left out of the loop when it came to prefect stuff.” while that inspired him to want to become a prefect himself, he initially throws in the towel during his route because he takes the defeatist mindset and thinks that his dream is impossible (this is obviously solved in his happy end where he does end up being a prefect). however, it’s that lack of confidence in himself that leads to this sort of depressive spiral. not only that, but it’s apparent in the aforementioned mr. gedonelune 2 story that he doesn’t take praise very well, and it easily embarrasses him. when liz is praising his looks and how competent he actually is, hiro asks her to stop and even covers her mouth at some point out of embarrassment, stating that “[liz] is the only person who thinks all that”. liz of course thinks he’s just being modest, but i think there’s a lot of other context clues through this and his own route that leads me to believe that he might have not been him being modest. it’s also good to note that hiro does get embarrassed when zeus straight up tells him that they are equals, pretty much like hiro has never heard it before or even considered it before zeus said it out loud for hiro to hear.

hiro does have a lot of negative tendencies towards himself, that much is apparent. i don’t think it stems from him hating himself, but more so thinking that he’s not an equal or on the same level as the others. he’s not good with his emotions in the first place, which we see in his route and this spin-off as well [side note: i love the sincerity of “i don’t know how to respond to this”. it’s very in-character for him given everything else we see of him and it’s so genuine and good and AUUUGGHHHHHH--]. the way he reacts so subtly to a lot of things as if taking a back seat, how he can be awkward when put on the spot (this is shown also in his happy end when he is asked for a speech after passing his prefect trials), and how he reacts to praise are subtle details, but very strong indicators about what sets hiro apart from the other “cool silent type” characters. there’s also been a few times where hiro has had “gap moe” moments (that others have noticed as well) that also sets him apart in this way as well, like when he becomes ecstatic upon learning he passed his prefect trials. it’s cute imo. 

hiro is... complicated. and i like that. 

 tl;dr i don’t think hiro hates himself, i just don’t think he was raised to believe that he has worth outside of being zeus’ vassal, and it’s hard for him to think otherwise until it’s spelled out for him.

//hey remember when solmare gave hiro literally one of the best spin-offs in all of wizardess heart? and how it was super insightful to how hiro actually thinks and feels? and how it was so genuinely sweet and emotional and it's all in a fucking SPIN-OFF of all things?? i'm never allowed to forget.
