🪽 It's no secret that the both of you share a sacred bond. Over many millennia, your brothers and sisters have whispered such things. No one has seen God since creation, an unspoken truth that can lead to losing an etheral being's life. Yet, you have heard others say that God destined that the both of you would fall in love. An action that is more forbidden than Eve and Adam taking a bite of the apple.

You were never fond of your 'siblings'. That word felt so human. It disgusted you. You were not related to them in any way but God, as all other creatures were. You held no loyalties to those who you served above in station and those you helped below.

The only being that stayed constant throughout creation was Castiel. Your Castiel.

When the seals began breaking, you stood by and allowed it to happen, as was fated. You fought with those in your garrison to protect heaven from the demonic onslaught. Somewhere within it all, you lost your Castiel.

He was assigned to save a soul from hell. Thousands of angels went with him; less than a hundred returned with their grace intact. You searched and finally rejoiced when he returned, albeit different than before. He avoided you as if you were one of the same creatures that he had to kill. You knew he was reprimanded and sent back to Earth.

That's the last you saw of him. You were told by your superiors that he was stripped of his wings and then killed. You nearly contemplated becoming one of them. Never had you felt such human emotions.

🪽 The apocalypse. Michael was supposed to possess the human Castiel saved. Only that human refused to do the one job he was made for! Then Lucifer came and slaughtered the ethereal beings in heaven, from lowly Cherubs to the mighty Seraphim. A handful survived.

You should have felt something. You were subjected to serve under Lucifer. A holy, loyal angel would have fought until their death. You just realized Lucifer had a point. All of this was so meaningless. There is no beauty to humanity, only hatred and sin.

Castiel, one of the last times you saw him, told you how precious God's favorite creations were. How foolish of you to believe him. If it weren't for his weakness, then he'd still be here. You both could have had something.

🪽 Instead, you're Lucifer's right hand. It is quite the job. You have to tolerate his quirks. Like when he makes flirtatious comments and tries, yet horribly fails, at making you pliant. You hold great respect for him. You just wonder how long he will harass you. You prefer his true visage and not the meatsuit he constantly dons.

When you aren't simply an angelic being to be admired, you work. You come to settlements bearing false gifts and then spread the Croatoan virus until all the humans croak. No one suspects a lone angel in a vessel to be their doom. On the off chance you come across a hunter—that can get a bit messy. Still nothing but more ashes in the wind to you.

You would rather do that than be subjected to Lucifer's lackeys. They are, for lack of a better word, buffoons. You would think demons were knowledgeable on the most efficient torture methods. Whoever was in charge of hell pre-Lucifer was failing, or just as much of an idiot, or both. You never really paid attention to the demonic hierarchy until now. You just follow orders.

🪽 So when Lucifer gives you another job, you think nothing more of it. Camp Chitaqua. Your boss, as funny as he is, left out the fact they had enochian warding sigils all over the camp. That coupled with devil warding and pretty much as many sigils that any one place could have. This people, or at least their leader, is no amateur.

You would have to gain explicit permission to enter the camp. That is, if they don't figure out you are an angel, work for Lucifer, and want to slaughter them all first.

You know all the happenings around the camp, outside of the warding. You find a stray, clearly intoxicated human. Jimmy Novak—no. Jimmy Novak's soul is not in this body. It can't be. C. Cas. Castiel?

"What's cookin', sweetheart? You new 'round these parts?"

Everything about him is not, was not, him. His dialog, body language, and most importantly, how human his energy is. He's smoking a blunt for angel's sake! 

So now you have an easy way to gain permission and access to Camp Chitaqua.

You are conflicted on what to do.

Lucifer. That bastard.

🪽 Cas knows it's you. It's his baby. His love. Old Castiel was never brave enough to just spit out that he'd like to take you right then and there. Get your wings all ruffled up. Your graces intertwined and all that good stuff. Now he can. Well, not the grace part because he is no longer an angel, but he's sure he could still feel your grace. You could let him feel you in all the ways one could imagine.

He wants to know where you have been, but he kind of already knows. Even his stoned brain can put two and two together. The incredibly sexy dangerous beast that works for Lucifer and wants to kill them all, as informed to him by Dean, is obviously you. He knew you had a disliking for humans, but he didn't think you'd ever go this far. It's oddly attractive. Like, yeah, you can take him out anytime you'd like.

Angel, please, don't tease him like this.

He still yearns to hear the truth from those pretty lips of yours. He wants to tease the knowledge out of you. He wants to seduce you and show you what you've been missing out on. There's all these pent-up emotions when it comes to you. He just wants to let them all out. He'd prefer if all of them were let out inside you.

🪽 Cas shows you around the place. He is hanging off you the entire time. A few jealous looks are cast your way. At least what you felt was jealousy and arousal emanating from those campgoers. You nearly vomited from how strong it was. How tight does Castiel have these people wrapped around his finger? Very tight.

It kills him inside as he acts as if he hasn't the faintest idea of who you are. You're simply a lost traveler who he let in because you were just so lost... and hot... and he didn't want to miss his self-appointed orgey session with his favorites. He invited you to join them. It broke him when he saw your response. It was so much harsher than he thought. Yeouch.

He's gonna go self-medicate while Dean harshly interrogates you. You could have gotten out of the interrogation if you joined him. Just sayin'. You wouldn't even have to participate. Cas is fine with you just watching.

🪽 After one horribly long conversation with their leader and the failure of a vessel, you are suspiciously confirmed as a new resident in their camp. The wardings still dampen your power greatly, but you're able to fly out of there and back swiftly, just not in the blink of an eye.

You report back to Lucifer while everyone is resting. The damned devil knew exactly what he was doing, sending you in there. He makes piss poor excuses and decides to cut you a deal. Camp Chitaqua? It can stay for now. Even after Lucifer wipes it off the proverbial map, that fallen angel of yours can stay alive. You just have to... do a few things for him. Everything, in fact. No more of this informal loyalty business.

He is demanding a grace pact. The both of you intertwine your angelic nature to make a deal that neither side can break, lest their grace be snuffed out.

You obey his every order.

Castiel stays safe, and Camp Chitaqua also has temporary amnesty.

You loved your Castiel. That much is true. It's just—this new one isn't your Castiel. You have to get him back somehow.

🪽 Cas doesn't want to go back to how he was. He does want you. And you, you try so hard to 'fix' him. He doesn't need to be fixed.

You go as far as to reveal your true identity, but not your workings with the devil himself.

He simply takes a hit of his bong and buries his true feelings. He can't tell you how much he has needed you... for so many years... so many. The first time he ever came to was the thought of you. So many of his 'firsts' were thinking, wishing, yearning, and praying that it was you.

You can't love that pathetic, emotionless winged dick. He isn't a winged dick anymore. He's just the second part, and boy is he good at it.

He'll play your little games if it means you'll stay by his side longer. He's petrified that you'll abandon him once you realize this is him. He is no longer a dignified Angel of the Lord. He's this.

Why can't you just love the true him?

You play this never-ending back and forth. It's the same game, altered rules.

🪽 It takes him a while to learn about your pact with the devil. When he does, he gets pissed. His love cave is messier than usual. He pulled out all his old knowledge and is flipping through the few magical books they've been able to preserve. He cancels all of his fun times. He shuts everyone out.

His sole focus is figuring out how to undo this.

How fucking dare he. He may just be a mortal... a weak body of flesh and bone that can be killed by just a cut, but that doesn't change the fact that Lucifer has you by the tips of your wings.

Who knows what that, as his older brother said, big bag of dicks is doing!?

It makes you swoon. You see your Cas-tiel again.

Lucifer is able to feel that. What happens because of that? Only you know. And some of those things will stay deeply buried in your memories for an eternity to come.

🪽 Castiel takes more risks outside of base camp because he knows you'll save him. You're his own personal guardian angel. He uses that to his advantage. He locates information and finds ways to hide certain things from you. He isn't sure if he's doing a good job, but he has to try, just one more time. After all, the apocalypse has already happened.

"I'm going to make a really bad decision."

Lucifer himself knows what that means for you.

"Please, no."

Every time you say no to his idiocy, he takes that as a yes. You don't exactly mind it. You haven't seen this side of Cas before. Well—this... everything, you haven't seen before.

🪽 He relaxes back to his endverse self after a handful of months. He's made some good progress with his research. So he decided to grow bolder. Orgies! His favorite hobby.

Except this time he outs you as a divine being. He just tweaks the details a little bit. You're a sex goddess, hiding from the big bad Lucifer that wants to hurt you. He tells Dean this, and he believes it. Hey, Dean trusts Cas, and it makes a lot of sense. You're skittish and hella fuckable. Perhaps Cas can hook him up one night—if he ever gets a break from making sure everyone keeps their bits and bobs in place.

No wonder Cas's condom use has gone up quadruplefold since you appeared.

He holds elaborate sex rituals in your name and your name alone. All other gods are dead. It's time to make you a new one.

The coy fucker acts like this wasn't his plan. He just stumbled into it. He's just a silly little stoner. Your silly little stoner.

"Baby, I can feel your grace. Don't be mad—I'm just teaching others to worship you as I do." He worships you the best.

🪽 As one does, he sacrifices those he doesn't like. In secret. He takes out those infected with Croatoan virus, or so everyone thinks. He isn't sure if Dean has caught on yet. If Dean has, then he hasn't confronted Cas on it.

It stems from jealously. You are starting to help others in camp. You have never helped humans like this before. It's strange. It should be him! Only him! It's selfish, okay? He gets it. But he has known you for far longer than anyone. Only he knows how to take care of you. He is the only one who has earned your blessings.

So—someone else gets your aid? Oh, no, no, no, no, no! You are his provocative savior.

And also just a teensy eensie weensie blood ritual that could set you free from Lucifer and tie you to him. It requires a lot of blood. And unfortunately, willing or unwilling participants aren't easy to come by.

🪽 All of these human needs in him. He needs you corrupted. He's sure Lucifer has been trying this entire time. Lucifer doesn't have what you have with him.

He doesn't want you to fall, not that there really is a heaven anymore to punish you. He just needs you to be so utterly fucked out, so entirely his.

So little old you is struggling where your loyalties lie. He knows this. He can still read you, somewhat. He knows you'll choose him in the end, after the end.

You always do.

Soulbound Ch 2

Lazarus Rising Part 2

Soulbound Masterlist

Dean and I are sitting at a table giving our orders to the brunette waitress.

"Be up in a jiff." She said, walking away. As she leaves, Sam enters, talking on his cell phone. "You bet," Sam sits down next to me.

"What'd Bobby say?" I ask, turning my head towards the taller Winchester.

"Pam's stable. And out of I.C.U." Sam replies, his tone a little hopeful.

"And blind, because of us." Dean huffs out.

"And we still have no clue who we're dealing with." I mumble and roll my eyes. 

Dean tilts his head a little. "That's not entirely true."

"No?" Sam questions, his eyebrows furrowing a little.

"We got a name. Castiel, or whatever." The older Winchester points out, "With the right mumbo-jumbo we could summon him, bring him right to us."

Sam's tone fills with disbelief, "You're crazy. Absolutely not."

"We'll work him over. I mean, after what he did?" Dean shrugs, glancing between his brother and I.

I scoff, looking at Dean like he suddenly grew a second head, "Pam took a peek at him and her eyes burned out of her skull, and you want to have a face to face?" 

"You got a better idea?" Dean snapped back a little.

"Yeah, as a matter of fact I do. I followed some demons to town, right?" I ask him.

"Okay."

Sam speaks up, "So, we go find them. Someone's gotta know something about something."

The waitress walks up with three plates containing pie, setting them down in front of us. I give her a small grateful smile and a nod. "Thanks." Sam mumbles and also gives her a polite smile. The waitress then plops down in a chair at the end of the table. Dean looks at her, smirking, while I look at her confusedly. "You angling for a tip?" Dean asks.

"I'm sorry. Thought you were looking for us." Her eyes go black for a moment, I glance around, seeing the cook and a man in a uniform also sporting lack demon eyes. The man in uniform gets up and locks the front door. The demon waitress' go back to normal, addressing Dean as if Sam and I weren't there. "Dean. To hell and back. Aren't you a lucky duck."

"That's me." Dean replies, a smug look on his face and in his tone. 

"So you get to just stroll out of the pit, huh? Tell me. What makes you so special?" The demon sneers at the older Winchester.

"I like to think it's because of my perky nipples." Dean smirks, making me snort softly, "I don't know. Wasn't my doing, I don't know who pulled me out."

The demon waitress looks skeptical, narrowing her eyes, "Right. You don't."

"No. I don't." Dean holds his ground.

"Lying's a sin, you know." The demon taunts him, leaning back in her chair.

Dean tilts his head threateningly, "I'm not lying. But I'd like to find out, so if you wouldn't mind enlightening me, Flo..."

"Mind your tone with me, boy. I'll drag you back to hell myself." She glares at him, her tone trying to intimidate him. Sam shifts as if to attack, glaring at the woman. My hand grabs the sleeve of his jacket tightly, not taking my eyes off the demon waitress. Dean holds a hand up and Sam stops, settling back into his seat. The demon glances at Sam and I, then back at Dean.

"No, you won't." Dean decides to test something.

"No?" The demon taunts.

"No. Because if you were you would have done it already. Fact is, you don't know who cut me loose. And you're just as spooked as we are. And you're looking for answers." The demon glances at Sam and I as Dean continues, "Well, maybe it was some turbo-charged spirit. Or, uh, Godzilla. Or some big bad boss demon. I'm guessing at your pay grade that they don't tell you squat. Because whoever it was, they want me out. And they're a lot stronger than you. So go ahead. Send me back. But don't come crawling to me when they show up on your front doorstep with some Vaseline and a fire hose."

The demon doesn't make a move, but threatens Dean anyway, "I'm going to reach down your throat and rip out your lungs." Dean smirks and leans forward, a challenge in his eyes. He throws a right hook at her, making her head whip to the side. I let out a quiet gasp as he throws another. She still does nothing but glare at them, looking more and more nervous. "okay, Dean she gets it," I mumble.

Dean nods and smirks again, "That's what I thought. Let's go, Sam, (Y/n)." We stand up, and the demon sits there, fuming. Dean pulls a roll of cash out of his pocket and carefully peels off a ten dollar bill. He holds it up and drops it on the table like an insult. "For the pie." 

~~~~~~~

Sam, Dean and I walk out of the diner and across the street, tense and quick. My instincts on high alert, my brain screaming to go back in there and kill or exorcise the demons and save the innocent people they're possessing.

"Holy crap, that was close." Dean huffs, speed-walking away.

Sam looks at his brother, "We're not just going to leave them in there, are we, Dean?"

"Seriously, don't ya think we should, I dunno, hunt them?" I raise my eyebrow at Dean, almost jogging to keep up with the taller men.

"Well yeah, there's three of them, probably more, and we've only got one knife between us." Dean points out, continuing to move farther from the diner.  Fair point.

"I've been killing a lot more demons than that lately." Sam states, a little bit of arrogance in his voice. 

"Not anymore – the smarter brother's back in town." Dean chuckles, making me scoff.

"Thank God I ain't your brother, you'd be dumb as a rock then," I playfully insult. Dean looks at me, feigning offense.

"Dean, we've got to take 'em. They are dangerous." Sam pleads, ignoring my joke and Dean's jab at him.

Dean rolls his eyes, "They're scared. Okay? Scared of whatever had the juice to yank me out. We're dealing with a bad mofo here. One job at a time." I sigh as I follow the brothers back to the Astoria Motel.

~~~~~~~

3rd Person: 

Dean is dozing on the couch with a large book open in his lap. (Y/n) is passed out in the bed, laying sideways on it, head and feet towards each side of the bed instead of the head and foot.  Sam sneaks out, checking to make sure his brother and his friend don't wake up, taking the keys to the Impala.

As Dean and (Y/n) doze, the television flicks on to the now-familiar static, and the radio starts whining as well. It wakes up the two Hunters, Dean rubbing his eyes while (Y/n) stretches a little. Dean rolls over the pull-out couch, grabbing his shotgun. (Y/n) grabs her pistol, glancing around, her and Dean locking eyes for a moment. Dean grimaces. The painfully high-pitched noise begins again, and he grabs his right ear, keeping the weapon up in his left hand. (Y/n) looks around, hearing a voice calling out to them. "Dean! What are you hearing?!" (Y/n) yells, not hearing the high pitched sound.

'(Y/n)! Dean! Can you hear me? This is important!' 

It seems to yell at them, but Dean can only hear a high pitched ring. (Y/n)'s eyebrows crinkle as the mirror on the ceiling starts to break. Dean grabs (Y/n)'s wrist, pulling her down with him. The voice is still calling out to them as he covers her body with his as the glass shatters and rains down on them, Dean clutching both ears as all the glass in the room shatters explosively. He screams as Bobby bursts into the room as more glass shatters. "Dean! (y/n)!" The two look up at their father-figure, who ushers them out the door as the high pitched ringing stops, as the voice stops.

~~~~~~~

1st Person POV: 

Bobby drives his car as Dean, in the passenger's seat, wipes blood from his face. I sit in the back, gently pulling a couple pieces of glass from my hair. "How you doin', kids?" Bobby asks, glancing at Dean, then into the rear view mirror at me. 

"Aside from the church bells ringing in my head, peachy." Dean grumbles. I look at Dean questioningly, deciding to not mention the voice, or the fact that I didn't hear the same sound that Dean did. 

"Fine," I mumble, looking at Bobby through the mirror.

Dean pulls out his phone, I can see over his shoulder that he's calling Sam. He puts it on speaker phone as Sam answers. "Hey." Sam greets his brother.

"What are you doing?" Dean asks, looking back at me, seemingly scanning me for injuries. Seeing nothing he turns back around, looking out the windshield.

"Couldn't sleep, went to get a burger." Sam answers.

Dean's eyebrows crinkle, "In my car?"

"Force of habit, sorry. What are you doing up?" Sam says, a little too quickly.

"Well, uh, Bobby's back. We're going to grab a beer. (Y/n)'s with us." Dean lies through his teeth. Bobby looks at Dean, shocked, making Dean hold up his finger as a 'hang on'. I also furrow my eyebrows a Dean, wondering what the hell was going through his mind right now.

"All right, well, uh, spill some for me, huh?" 

Dean nods, "Done. Catch you later." He hangs up the phone, a determined look on his face.

"Why the hell didn't you tell him?" Bobby asks, irritation evident in his voice.

Dean sighs, "Because he just tried to stop us."

I fold my arms over my chest and cross my legs, "From what?"

"Summoning this thing. It's time we faced it head-on." Dean gives a single nod.

Bobby looks at him in shock again, "You can't be serious!"

"As a heart attack. It's high noon, baby."

"Well, we don't know what it is. It could be a demon, it could be anything." I huff, resisting the urge to smack him upside the head.

"That's why we've got to be ready for anything." Dean pulls out Ruby's knife, the blade glinting in the moonlight, "We've got the big-time magic knife, you've got an arsenal in the trunk..."

"This is a bad idea." I sigh, rubbing my forehead.

"Yeah, I couldn't agree more, but what other choice do we have?" Dean looks back at me again, determination in his features.

"We could choose life." Bobby retorts, as if that's the most logical thing to do...which it is.

"Bobby, whatever this is, whatever it wants, it's after me. That much we know, right? I've got no place to hide. I can either get caught with my pants down again, or we can make our stand." Dean says.

"Dean, we could use Sam on this." I say, ready to pull out my phone and call the younger Winchester.

"Nah, he's better off where he is."

~~~~~~~

3rd Person POV:

Sam sneaks into the darkened diner and slips his lock-picking tools into his shirt pocket. A song is playing on the jukebox. Sam sneaks in quietly, sees the cook from earlier face-down on the floor, his hands bloody. Sam crouches and turns the man over; he is dead, his eyes burned out and drying blood caked on his cheeks. Sam stands back up, looking around.

The demon waitress tackles him from behind. They trade blows for a few moments until Sam shoves her away. She pushes her hair from her face. She too has empty, burned out eye sockets and blood trickling down her face. She looks both terrifying and terrified.

Sam looks shocked, "Your eyes."

"I can still smell your soul a mile away." She tries to sound intimidating.

Sam swallows thickly, "It was here. You saw it."

The demon waitress sobs, clearly still scared. "I saw it."

"What was it?" Sam asks hesitantly

"It's the end. We're dead. We're all dead." She continues sobbing.

Sam's voice gets more insistent, determined to get an answer out of her, "What did you see?"

"Go to hell." She says stubbornly.

"Funny. I was going to say the same thing to you." Sam steps back, plants his feet, and shuts his eyes in concentration. He extends his right hand towards the demon waitress. She gags and begins to vomit black smoke into her hand. In mere seconds, the waitress collapsed to the floor as the demon is sucked down into Hell. Sam opens his eyes and quickly goes up to the woman, hoping she's still alive. He checks her pulse, feeling nothing. Sam sighs in disappointment, "Damn it." The kitchen door opens and a woman comes out. He looks up, apparently not surprised to see her. Her hair is dark and she appears a little impressed.

"Getting pretty slick there, Sam. Better all the time." She says, crossing her arms.

Sam stands and they share a look. He looks down at the corpse at his feet, his face falling. "What the hell is going on around here, Ruby?"

"I wish I knew." She sighs.

"We were thinking some high level demon pulled Dean out." Sam says, hopeful that Ruby might have some information about what happened with his brother.

"No way. Sam, human souls don't just walk out of Hell and back into their bodies easy. The sky bleeds, the ground quakes. It's cosmic. No demon can swing that. Not Lilith, not anybody." Ruby explains, looking up at Sam.

"Then what can?"

"Nothing I've ever seen before."

~~~~~~~

1st Person POV:

Bobby and I draw a symbol with white spray paint on the cement floor. As Bobby stands, Dean looks around at the many symbols Bobby and I had put around the warehouse, determined to be ready for whatever had the mojo to yank Dean out of Hell. "That's a hell of an art project you've got going there." Dean remarks as he sets up the equipment on a metal table.

"Traps and talismans from every faith on the globe. How you doin'?" Bobby asks.

I stand up, dusting my hands off on my pants, "Stakes, iron, silver, salt, knife. I mean, we're pretty much set to catch and kill anything I've ever heard of." I peek at what Dean had set out on the table.

Bobby looks at Dean. "This is still a bad idea."

"Yeah, Bobby, I heard you the first ten times." Dean snaps slightly, "What do you say we ring the dinner bell?"

Bobby nods reluctantly. He goes over to another desk, takes a pinch of some powder from a bowl, and sprinkles it into a larger bowl, which begins to smoke. He chants in Latin, while Dean and I arm ourselves in preparation.

~~~~~~~

Dean, Bobby and I are seated on tables, swinging our legs and looking bored. Nothing immediately happened when Bobby tried to summon whatever this thing is. 

Dean groans, "You sure you did the ritual right?" Bobby gives Dean a look, making me chuckle, "Sorry. Touchy, touchy, huh?"

As if on cue, a loud rattling shakes the roof. We arm ourselves and back up to the far end of the warehouse defensively, I stand between the two men anxiously, holding a shotgun full of salt rounds like Bobby and Dean. "Wishful thinking, but maybe it's just the wind." Dean jokes weakly. Lightbulbs explode above us, making us all flinch as sparks rain down. The door bursts open and a handsome man in a business suit, trenchcoat, and wings stalks in. Wait...wings?

The light bulbs above his head shatter in a shower of sparks as he passes them. As he approaches, all of us open fire, but the shots don't even slow him down. The man walks up to us as if he didn't just get pumped full of buckshot, standing between Dean, Bobby and I. "Who are you?" Dean asks warily.

"I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition." The man says flatly.

"Yeah. Thanks for that" Dean grumbles as he plunges the knife into the man's chest, I'm assuming directly into his heart. But it has no effects. The man looks down, unbothered, and pulls the knife out of his chest, dropping it to the floor. Bobby swings at him, but the man catches Bobby's weapon without even looking. The man turns to Bobby and puts two fingers to his forehead, making Bobby crumble to the floor.

"Bobby!?" I yell, kneeling down next to his unconscious body, glaring up at the winged man. 

"We need to talk, Dean. Alone." The man says, turning to look at Dean, then back down at me. I stand up and he approaches me, ready to do whatever he did to Bobby to me.

"Wait! Whatever you have to say, she can hear it too!" Dean yells, making the man glance between us. 

Dean glares at him, kneeling down to Bobby and checking his pulse. "H-He's alive Dean..." I state, my eyes flickering between the man, Dean and my adoptive father.

The man nods, "She's right. Your friend's alive." He says as he looks through one of the books on the table.

"Who are you?" I ask, making the man look up at me.

"Castiel." He says, making eye contact.

"Yeah, I figured that much, I mean what are you?" Dean crinkles his eyebrows, his glare not letting up.

Castiel looks over at Dean, "I'm an Angel of the Lord." That would explain the wings.

Dean slowly stands up, "Get the hell out of here. There's no such thing."

"Dean...I think he's telling the truth. I mean, look at his wings." I stand in front of Dean, gesturing my right hand towards Castiel, who visibly stiffens out of the corner of my eye.

"What wings?" Dean asks me, squinting at Castiel. 

I give him a confused look, "dude they're fucking huge, how can you not see them?"

"This is your problem, Dean. You have no faith." Castiel turns to us, looking at Dean. Thunder rumbles and lightning flashes, making a shadow form behind the angel. The shape of wings stretch out behind Castiel, but I can see his tangible onyx wings spreading behind him, making my eyes widen. "Told you," I gloat weakly at the older Winchester.

Dean shakes his head a little, "Some angel you are. You burned out that poor woman's eyes."

Castiel looks down, guilt on his face, "I warned her not to spy on my true form. It can be... overwhelming to humans, and so can my real voice. But you already knew that."

"You mean the gas station and the motel. That was you talking?" Dean asks, making Castiel nod, "Buddy, next time, lower the volume."

"What do you mean? I heard him at the motel just fine, he was trying to tell us something." I cross my arms over my chest, both of the men looking at me.

"And you think now is the important time to tell me?" Dean looks at me in disbelief. 

"Oh please, as if you would've believed me," I roll my eyes.

"That was my mistake. Certain people, special people, can perceive my true visage, like (Y/N). I thought you would be one of them. I was wrong." Castiel says to Dean.

Dean scoffs, "Why can she hear you? See wings that appear to be friggin' invisible? And what visage are you in now, huh? What, holy tax accountant?"

"This?" Castiel looks down, fidgeting with his clothes, "This is... a vessel." He ignores Dean's first couple questions.

My eyebrows furrow as I look the angel up and down, "You're possessing some poor bastard?"

Castiel looks in my direction, "He's a devout man, he actually prayed for this."

"Look pal, I'm not buying what you're selling, so who are you really?" Dean asks him, unable to believe what's actually happening. 

"I told you." Castiel frowns at him.

"Right. And why would an angel rescue me from Hell?"  Dean shifts where he stands.

"Good things do happen, Dean." Castiel says, stepping closer to him.

Dean shakes his head again, "Not in my experience."

"What's the matter?" Castiel asks, his voice getting a little lower,  "You don't think you deserve to be saved?"

Dean scoffs, "Why'd you do it?" 

"Because God commanded it. Because we have work for you. But now, I also have...business to attend to with (Y/N), now that I'm aware of some things..."

sorry for vanishing on yall i went to take a nap (for like 9 months)

headcanons about the obey me! brothers and the devildom that no-one asked for, in no particular order. because why not :)

> asmodeus is kind of against piercings that aren't in the ear because they're 'tacky' and unsavoury.

> mammon had an aeroplane phase. he eventually settled on cars, but there are still a few plane magazines stashed in his wardrobe.

> lucifer has grey hair but like. way more than you'd think. he's just really good at hiding it. he may or may not have used some sort of magic to hide it, until eventually he gives up and starts to let it show. that's why in some artwork/pictures he has grey streaks, and in some he has none.

> beelzebub has tried to eat so many of the paintings in the HoL that they have to be sealed with magic, lest he devour another family portrait.

> barbatos' tail is "slimy" or "slick" because it's actually poisonous, like those frogs. that's why he doesn't like people touching it, except for that one picture where Solomon tries to touch it (i reckon he got tired of him trying to touch it so he just allows him to be poisoned lmao)

> demons will eat humans. this is a known fact, although it's usually only very low-level demons who are starving, or have succumbed to their sins completely who eat humans. beelzebub has thought about it a few times but he likes MC far too much to truly consider eating them.

> expanding on the last point, the Devildom is overpopulated. im calling it. i headcanon that demons (particularly glutton demons) casually partake in cannibalism. there are too many demons/other species and as such, the laws basically don't exist. the answer to overpopulation is basically murder, or cannibalism.

> the brothers don't try and tone down the more "demon" elements of themselves around MC until someone mentions that humans don't really like that kind of thing. MC has seen some SHIT man.

> leviathan refuses to eat fish or seafood because of Henry 2.0. mammon has 100% tricked him into eating like a fishcake or something. he definitely cried a lot that day.

> i think all of the brothers snore, except for belphegor (ironic huh). asmodeus adamantly denies snoring, but he does. mammon snores the loudest obviously. everyone else just snores a normal amount, and lucifer falls asleep in his chair/on the sofa a lot so his snoring is heard the most. he's a dad at heart.

> satan hates that people mistake him for lucifer. that's obvious. he hates it so much that he once wrote a book on the subject, under a pen name, and it was surprisingly popular. he doesn't think anyone knows he wrote it, but lucifer knows. he simply never said anything because he was secretly proud of satan for how well he could write.

hopefully these make sense. god i forgot just how much this game actually made me think. i love world building yarhhhhggh

> asmodeus is deathly afraid of head lice. that's it that's the headcanon.

oh yeah the ole ask box is open. send me asks im so desperate ill take anything

Haven't watched Mastermind episode (and wont), but will talk about stuff I saw from it and heard about it

So... I as you who follow my ramblings here probably know (all 2 of you probably). I do not watch this show anymore because I don't care about it's story. Apparently this new episode is BEST OF THE SEASON, but since rest of the season at best gave me a feeling of pure apathy and at worst INCREDIBLE disdain and lack of faith in humanity I say good middle ground is talking about pieces I saw because at this point I don't think I can stand watching this show for longer than 5 minutes at a time.

I make my own story for HB/HH so I will make some comparisons to my own story and plans... Maybe one day I will do bigger post about how my versions of Sins and other things look. No arts though... no talent on my part. Eh... Or maybe... Eh we will see. Probably not, but... Maybe... I dunno.

Comparisons will be mostly about Sins. And the thing I reference is a fic called Song for the Quiet Bird that for now is center of my AU where I make things of Hellaverse in my own way.

So first off. Stella moment. Probably the first thing I saw from it when I heard about it. When I saw that scene I was like: Wow. Actually proper moment where Stella shows more of a character and maybe nuance aAAAAAAaaaand the smirk...

You are amazing at failing every expectation aren't you HB? YOU KNOW SHE LE EVIL!? YOU KNOW SHE BAD!? YOU KNOW STOLAS GOOD!?

Yes I do. I am deaf from the amount of SCREAMING you are throwing at me about this every other minute. Thank you. I am not a 5 year old. She evil. What you do with it? Also apparently NOW she has a brain compared all other times besides season 1 where she had more of a peanut there? What is it? Also incest with her brother? Great... Keep on going with this. I am sure at some point even completely blind AND deaf people will understand how evil she and Andy Magic are. I sadly missed the part where I am supposed to find them interesting. But HEY at least it gives such a great explanation of why Octavia sees Stella as better parent than Stolas which is clearly shown in some of that promotional material... entire one scene... that is not a minute long even and has no dialogue between them. No chemistry or anything... Let's be honest though. For most fans that's probably enough. Just slap one or two scenes later of Andy Magic and Stella saying how bad Stolas is and you are golden... Fuck my life as it is not even a joke. Jesus.

Okay. Besides that... tragedy? I dunno. There is also SINS! Leviathan and Belphegor...

Well... that's just amazingly underwhelming. You know there is a problem when I cannot tell if a character is even meant to be someone special. Because what the Hell (get it? HELL!) is this? They look like about nothing Demons. They are barely more interesting visually than any other shmuck we saw in this world. Ozzie keeps being the best design out of all of them with most distinct and accurate one and I am starting to feel like it is only because Viv took years in making it before hastily making ones for everyone else. Seriously, would you even be able to tell they are meant to be important characters? Because they look like everyone else in this world.

Now funnily enough I have my own concepts for those in my AU. Not exactly more interesting visually as again... not an artist and it is still more concept thing as I keep figuring things out, but this is the current form I want to get them across. I think they do the job on some level in terms of what they are meant to be. One is Leviathan. It is... interesting to portray it with 2 heads... a reason for that kind of eludes, but who am I to judge? But I know in my version it will just honestly a large beast swimming across endless waters of Envy. A giant sea monster that keeps itself in a giant form among domes of Envy where cities are with immeasurable wealth and power, a creature meant to be envied. But also a creature that envies deeper than any other over the loss of their partner at the hand of God, not being able to be close with anyone or even be understood. A creature who's deep resentment and pain created entire Ring around them.

If I made a scene like that with 'sins' meeting I think it would be with a High Demon that serves as a high priest/priestess of the Leviathan faith. As all very high rank demons like Sins, certain Goetia Kings and other VERY important figures have their own religion that Hellborn MUST adhere to, in a way choose their deity and in this case it would be a Demon from said church of Leviathan that interprets them... cluelessly.

While Belphegor would not be much different as a creature that also is a larger than life being. But this one being like a giant, anthropomorphic crocodile like being similar to SCP 682, but more... static. Basically giant center point of a garbage heap that is Sloth in my AU. In some ways beautiful, but also incredibly toxic and dangerous to everything wasteland. Very bottom of Hell. Horrible place where you can be killed by some horrifying monsters with no real mind that prey on the helpless. As Belphegor itself (dunno if it even has gender) exudes aura of sloth where most Demons that come to sloth will be at some point forced to lay down and stay in place. "Bask under non existent sun" which is a term used in that version of Hell a bit to call someone lazy and it comes from that which can spell someone's horrid death.

Those are my ideas for those. But next one is the big boy himself. The Big S. Adversary. Satan.

He looks alright. Nothing you would not imagine a Satan to be. He looks dragon like, buff (even if he skipped leg day) and has funny horns of Imps. Also he has little therapist... which is funny because in my fic I also have a trial with the main judge there (in that case Lucifugus or Lucifuge Rofocale) who also has his own little therapist thing (alongside some other annoyances... and far more misery). It is funny how I guess both me and Viv kind of agree people in high political power in Hell would have their own therapist. In my version though he keeps them deep within the tower he resides in. But either way. Can't say his design or personality is something I did not see coming.

As for my version I will go with... yeah it will be quite different. Better or not. Your choice. A centaur like being that has 4 big arms, molten lava in his veins and skull on top of his body looking like a goat or dragon like being (still thinking on that). A demented monstrosity who's head went awry due to their perpetual rage who can now think of nothing, but drowning everything in so much blood that he will one day swim on that tide of gore to the Pearly Gates and smash them open in ultimate showing of their superiority over all of creation. Something his kin the Imps for the most part also believe and praise. A promise of sea of gore and glorious war. Not the kind of creature that would hold a trial. In that world it's more of a Lucifuge thing... or Lucifer if he is mood for jokes and tormenting some poor souls for their amusement.

Also I hear Stolas lost all his wealth and power over... NOT the shitty things that he did, just that he was forced to lie for the sake of I.M.P.... Eh... The avoidance of responsibility continues. Even when characters face consequences it can NEVER be over their own actions. It has to be something that can be proven wrong and goddamn will that probably be true with Via as well. Because let me tell you they are most likely going to make her be in the wrong for hating poor little Stolas baby and I hate it already. I know making assumptions is not good, but by GOD were they good at making those expectations of nuance low so far...

Actually what expectations? I don't watch this show anymore. But I am passionate about it's ideas... and that hurts me. A lot. I made this entire post because of those... and make a fic that has now few HUNDRED THOUSAND words. Damn. No idea if my version is better or worse... but it is one I prefer. It is different definitely. Even though in certain ways it's weirdly similar.

Birthday Worldbuilding HCs for Obey Me!

Happy Birthday Levi! I'm a little late with Levi-centered HCs I was gonna post, which should come out soon, but I do have these!

Outside of the royal family, most demon "birthdays" are really either just their "day of worship" by humans and lesser demons, or their right of passage into adulthood.

Demons saw no point in investing in children that most likely wouldn't make it, and especially no reason to celebrate them just for being born, even to this day.

Satan himself has always refused to celebrate the day he separated from Lucifer, and instead celebrates the day he felt he had gained "full" control over his sin and demonic impulses.

"Birthdays" aren't really celebrated in the celestial realm either, because angels were almost always made in batches and it was considered ungrateful, borderline rebellious, to only celebrate some of God's creations.

Beel & Belphie were unique in that their actual "birthday" is celebrated, because their unique connection was incredibly rare and therefore worth talking about and remembering.

Still, no one really celebrated it in the celestial realm besides Lilith and Lucifer, who did so in secret. Though they all celebrated it after the fall, even if Satan and Leviathan joined in later.

Apart from Satan and the twins, none of the brothers remember when they were created and therefore saw no reason to celebrate, something Leviathan became increasingly jealous about as he reconciled with his brothers.

Lucifer eventually intervened once his patience wore thin, and declared they would all get their own personal days of celebration "to be fair." 

Diavolo, who had always had his own birth celebrated, had been overjoyed.

He declared them publicly, against Lucifer's will, assigning specific days based on the individual demon's accomplishments, just as his father had assigned them their "birth order."

"Days of remembrance," as they're often called in Devildom, have become increasingly common with Diavolo's "plan to unite the three realms," as demons have wholeheartedly believed that if humans deserve to be celebrated, they definitely must deserve it more. 

It's become a social contagion almost, something the noble families of Devildom had decried, not wanting their special commonality to the royal family to be watered down and "sullied," with Mephistopheles himself being a very loud detractor.

But the only thing worse than celebrating a human holiday is to be less celebrated than a lesser demon, so even it's detractors quickly incorporated the most popular and expensive trends into their own, traditional celebrations. 

In the end, it's become a way of measuring a demon's rank and popularity more than anything actually affectionate.

Which has come full circle and left Leviathan depressed and seething every time he sees a party he's not invited to (even though it's because inviting a powerful demon to celebrate you would be literal suicide for the "insult", Levi included,) and every one with more guests than he'll ever have (because he insists on having private "parties" with his brothers, otherwise the entire Devildom navy would show up, at minimum.)

There is one thing that soothes Leviathan's envy though, and it's celebrating with you.

[opiopal]

Are we sure demons are even mammals? Their human forms are for hiding among humans, so they might not have the less obvious functions. We know Lucifer had 12 wings, but his angel form only shows six, implying that that is at least one more "truer" form, which could also be the case with demons. The truest form of a native demon might use an alternate method to feed their young.

this actually got me thinking more about it, so I started to think about their demon forms since that would probably give more answers,

so lucifer and mammon are birds, peacock and crow, so they would tend to eggs, so no need for breast feeding birds

levi is a serpent, yes there is sea life that are mammals, but sea snakes are def not one of them, so fertilizing eggs in bunches doesn't require breasts even after hatching.

asmo is a scorpion, I have NO CLUE how scorpions work when it comes to their young but i know for a fact that anything with an exoskeleton.. most of the time isn't a mammal. so again, eggs.

and beel is a bug, I forget if its fact that hes a cicada? thats just what I remember, and cicadas arent mammals so again, eggs

now i tried to search for what satan is since its really unclear(at least to me), if he was a bird like his dadmom then he would probably have wings, but he IS wing. and when I searched I was told unicorn and wolf(ofc his rebel teen emo ass would be a wolf) and obviously belphie is a goat/cow thing, so technically the anti lucifer league should be mammals just going off of their demon forms,

but again no nipples, belphie makes sense cause again, former angel, popped into existance, no mommy for him, but satan was born from lucifer.. technically organically...? (still cant believe mpreg basically happened) but lucifer probably was never intended to have kids from his own body so no nipples, and again satan came from wings, which yeah would all make sense, but then again I circle back to Dia

he's a dragon, yet was born not from an egg, but as a result of a live birth. which resulted in his mother passing away. so I'm still going strong on my dia's not a full demon theory(maybe royal blood makes him appear to be a pure demon?)

and I can also imagine that demons dont have a big powerful form like a "be not afraid" angel does, so lucifer and the brothers prolly had a down grade in the scary physical form factor. prolly another layer to their punishments. (ofc demons still prolly have a big scary demon form, just not as big as a flaming swords with wings and eyes and a booming voice)

and going onto other demons, I can imagine reproduction is very diverse in the devildom. demons who are more reptilian, demons that are birds, cold blooded creatures, anything that wouldn't give live birth would lay eggs, do silly little dances to attract mates, look pretty to attract mates, ect. and obviously demons that are goats, cows, deer, cat, dog, would give live birth. so maybe nipples with demons are like freckles? some people have them and other people just dont.

BUT, then again, demons could have only 1-2 animals that relate to their sin, demons of Greed could be crows and foxes, envy is snakes and sea creatures, ect. but then again mephisto is a thing, and he's a demon of pride, so that would make him a peacock like lucifer, but with a lack of a canon demon form its hard to say, but mephisto already shares a hairstyle and boyfriend with lucifer so it would just be mean to have him share even more with him. but than again he could also be a lion? but I dont think that would fit that little gay rich boy at all. But I think it would just be more interesting if a demons form isn't always directly related to their sin so they can be any animal.

all in all, the only thing I think I could come to a conclusion with is that angels aren't mammals. and ofc they wouldnt gain nipples after becoming demons cause how odd would that be? "NOO MY SISTERS DEAD AND IVE BEEN CAST DOWN TO HELL- what are those things on my chest." and with demons it could probably vary from being mammals and not being mammals. but I could imagine its like, 80% of the devildom lays eggs and the other 20% doesnt. but all in all I think demons can do either or, it just depends on what they want to do, get freaky and then give birth or lay an egg and sit on it till it hatches, but I'm sure no demon would willingly give birth if they had the option to just pop out an egg.

or maybe its just my crack theory, two demons kiss and get freaky then 9 months later a baby pops out of thin air, magic baby!

[obae-me]

Yes! Finally someone said it!

At first when I saw the interaction I went- hey he's being such a jerk- Ohhhhh wait! This is literally him wanting us to stay soo fricking bad, but Mr.Pridey McPridepants just can't admit it. OFC HE WOULD TRY TO IMPRESS US (even if this emotionally constipated man can't differ b/w chivalry and being an asshole). He's trying to so bloody hard to sweet talk his way into us staying. Even if he's being forceful and manipulative; it's because he's so shit scared of giving us the choice and then us choosing to go cuz he KNOWS wherever we going must mean a lot to us especially when we are going such great lengths to return.

Not to say, that this behavior is ok or good but at the end of the day isn't obey me about flawed and morally grey characters? Even the ANGELS aren't perfect and morally sound, and if I dare say, sometimes they make decisions even crueler than the demons. We are literally talking about the AVATAR OF PRIDE HERE! XD

Literally as soon as you look past the image that he literally puts up cuz he wants ppl to see him that way, you will realize that he really is just a soggy, pathetic man who can't put aside his pride to ask us to stay like a normal person XD Also to point out a lot of ppl LIKE Levi and Mammon BECAUSE OF their pathos lol.

I have always seen that there is SUCH a double standard when it comes to him. Ppl say that he's being too fake and only cares about his image and not his brothers, but when he does show his softer side, they say he's not being genuine or he's pushy or something of the sort. What most ppl fail to see is that he loves his brothers and mc, probably even more than his own life but he's just so bad at showing it because he is held back by his own trauma and sin. While that does not make him innocent... that does make him like his brothers. He acts this way because thats literally the only way he knows how to keep things in his control and keep his family safe and ppl fall for it ... LIKE IT'S NOT THE REAL HIM! TvT

I have this theory (might be a hot take idk?) that most of the ppl playing obey me are pretty young, so they don't like Lucifer because they are anti-authority (I also am, its not a bad thing) but this man is anything but Authority and Power. I might be a lucifer apologist lol but all I am saying is for ppl to look at him with the same open-minded lens they see the other brothers with and you might find him a lot more bearable and dare I say... likeable?

Phew, sorry for rambling in your inbox but I have some strong feelings for that stupid old man XD Also, this feels a lot similar to how expectations are so high and rigid for the eldest sibling whereas these same expectations become a lot less severe for the other siblings...

Firstly, thank you for calling him a soggy pathetic man, that gave me a good chuckle.

And YES! All of this, 100% yes. He doesn't want to admit that there are other things out there more important than him. Not just because of his Pride, but because he finally let someone else behind the walls he put up around his heart (we saw this around Nightbringer lessons 11 and 12, when he was ready to be THE enemy to protect his family, only to end up admitting to himself that he cared about MC just as much) and now, after all that, MC is determined to leave. I'm sure somewhere in his mind, he feels like he's failed.

He's puffing up his feathers as big as he can and screaming "look at me, look at me, look at me"! The big peacock man is flailing.

He's afraid. He's hurt. And so now these weird (and problematic) safety mechanisms are being put in place to protect himself.

Things in his mind are SO 'not fine' that now he's parading around trying to convince everyone (including himself) that everything is perfectly fine! Everything is perfect, everything is great, the outfits he chose are pristine, the food he settled on is text-book. It feels like he's following some sort of guide, like even the things he's saying have been pulled from a novel somewhere. It's not quite the way he normally speaks. If everything can play out the way he sees it in his head, there won't be room for error. Right?

And this isn't new behavior either. It was the ENTIRE plot of season 1 in Shall We Date. Lucifer locked Belphie away because he was worried of what might happen to his sibling. But in a way, 'protecting' his brother was mostly protecting himself.

He's worked so hard to create what he has, that he can't stand the idea of losing it all.

There's also a whole spiel I could go into about how everyone in the family fills a certain "group" role that keeps everything balanced and running smoothly (as smooth as it can get for them). For example, Mammon is the energy of the group, the drive. Beel is the motivator, the encourager. Asmo is the dreamer, etc. Lucifer has to be the guider, the manager, the authoritarian.

While, yes on multiple occasions, he's dismissed his brother's wild antics outright, there have been so many other instances where his brothers say "I want ___" and he gives them the advice or the structure they need to accomplish it successfully. OR even ending up providing it himself should his brother's wishes be genuine (Mammon's car for example).

When he's more on his own, he can drop that uptightness completely. As we see again in Shall We Date, when they're taken to the video game world, and when he doesn't have the worries and responsibilities placed onto his shoulders, he's capable of skipping classes to take a nap on the roof. And fully enjoys it, with a smile on his face and everything.

At the very root of him, while he needs to fulfill the controlling dynamic, he does not want to. At least not completely.

I've always known this, but Nightbringer actually gave me a big confirmation boost! In Wanders Whereabouts, Barbatos gives Lucifer a video call in which he tells Lucifer about all the recent trouble the brothers have gotten themselves into. Barbatos then proceeds to let Lucifer know that as their guardian, the eldest needs to essentially work harder to keep them in line. Then Barbatos sends the damages bill to him.

If he isn't constantly keeping his siblings in line, he takes most of the blame!

And thirdly, I think you are correct, yes. I think especially with the addition of Nightbringer and the anime, a good portion of the fandom is a younger demographic, which doesn't surprise me (listen I played Mystic Messenger when I was a preteen/teen, I was there when the dark texts were written). And a lot of what appeals to that demographic is the coming-of-age, rebelling against conformity sort of story.

And, I want to repeat, my initial post that you are referring to wasn't meant to come off as a "oh everyone is so stupid thinking Lucifer is this way, you should all love him" but more of trying to explain the fullness of his character since it can be harder to spot.

Like, people in the fandom almost always completely understand Mammon. He's not just, "tough and grumbly man who steals things". He's someone who struggles with admitting his own feelings, someone who lets his ambitions blind him from the troubles they can cause, and someone who at the end of the day, loves his family more than anything. And most everyone in the fandom fully understands this.

And yet, with Lucifer, a lot of people tend to take him exactly at face value.

There's a lot of things I could explain about him needing to play a "Parental Guardian Figure" while also just being their brother at the same time, and in a lot of media where the older sibling is forced to become a guardian, they get a lot of flack for not doing it correctly.

Anyways, I could ramble on and on and on about Lucifer as a character, but I think this a good chunk of condensed thoughts. And thank you for sending this over, I always love a good Inbox ramble! Especially about my favorite grumpy, sleep-deprived man <3

[star-boi0720]

Giant lore dump here, basically they're the seven deadly sins, in my version to become one you commit an act to break a seal that Irene made to contain the devil within and their punishment is to become the new host for said devils. so I'm gonna go person by person and explain how they became a sinner

(the concepts aren't complete, still needs work but I just want to have it written down)

Aaron-Wrath, has a similar backstory to the OG, but I added a thing I remembered from Emerald Secret of the Utltimas backstory (this was solely from my memory and might not be exact) and took Zane out of the equation, basically Aaron had a hobby of hunting and he without knowing killed this holy wolf that Irene created, and as a punishment he was combined with it and in the foggy haze of his transformation he murdered his whole village and his family.

Lucinda-Gluttony, Her hunger for knowledge killed her best friend(/ maybe girlfriend aka Sasha don't 100% know yet) and sealed away her mother to the cursed forest. Hyria used to have like a coven/school for witches she made after Irene left. Lucinda was a prodigy and wanted to just keep learning to the point she was so desperate she stole a book her mother told her never to even touch (which had sin inside and was trusted to hyria by Irene) which made Lucinda's magic go crazy and destroy the school and seal her mom away and kill Sasha.

Travis-Lust, so his mom dies to seal his dad away all that's the same but Travis is just super lonely right, but then a girl comes to visit him and he eventually falls in love with her but she actually is a member of his fathers cult to break him free and Travis is so obsessed with her he doesn't notice, and before he can stop her fully she partially freed him and travis in the struggle to stop her he kills her and breaks his mothers necklace(which had lust inside) but right after he kills her a bunch of villagers burst into the chamber the demon warlock was locked in and it looks like Travis just sacrificed some girl to his father and they try to kill him so Travis hides deep in the mountains

Katelyn-Envy, her entire life in her village of dragons she was treated as lesser compared to her brothers Kayden and Cain cause she wasn't as strong as them and she pushed herself but wasn't enough, her jealousy boiled over and in a fight with her brother Kameron she broke a statue that had the sin inside she didn't kill him but burned him beyond recovery

Garroth- Pride, He was the cocky prince troupe kinda like Hercules from the Disney movie and he liked to play hero, and vylad always went with him like Garroth's little sidekick. but one day they came against a monster they couldn't beat and Garroth refused to back down and in which the monster which was a huge lion killed vylad garroth killed it but it had the sin of pride inside it Garroth returned home and when he told his mother of what happened she hid him away knowing the world would see garroth as a threat and kill him. So Evelyn(Aka Zianna I changed a lot of the parent's names cause it seemed repetitive to me, so mom is now Evelyn and the father's name is now Adam) sent Garroth to hide in Phoenix Drop and claimed the beast killed both of them.

Zane- Greed, Zane was always a good man the whole kind young priest get up. but after the sudden deaths of his brothers, his faith was shaken, and in a desperate attempt to bring them back he began to research black magic and corrupted his mind and he opened a box deep in the catacombs of Okasis which was Pandora's box which held the sin of greed and became and the once kind prince became a true monster.

Nana-Sloth Nana is the eldest daughter of a duke of the Tula Kingdom, her mother died when Nana was young and her father was very heartless about it, like had a new wife in 2 days and all her other siblings were only her half she tried to be close to them but her father kept her away from them to the point she stopped trying after so long but on a night a raid happened she was only able to save one of her siblings her youngest Juno who was only like 7 but as she was escaping she broke a mirror that had the sin of sloth inside and possessed her and nana escaped to ruan and made her little cafe with her sister. (Nanas I don't fully like it yet but it is something ig)

So that's pretty much just some tragic mfrs sorry for any spelling mistakes

Two Roommates At the Edge of the Universe (Potential Book of Bill Spoilers)

Belos: Of all the heathenistic, pagan gods to be saddled with for eternity, it has to be... you.

Bill Cipher: (quadruples) Well, well, well, well... aren't you a sight for sore "eye." My old business partner, Philip Wittebane... or is it Belos? It's been ages... how has your whole "witch hunting" gone?

Belos: I have nothing to say to you, demon.

Bill Cipher: Oh, well look at you. You look like some slop that escaped from the pigpen! Looks like that kid you made a deal with did a number on you. Serves you right for calling off our deal.

Belos: Our plans did not align. After all, I would never help you raze the Earth. You are the Devil himself.

Bill Cipher: (chuckles) Thanks, but I can't accept that compliment since I was actually kicked out of H - E double hockey sticks. Do not tell me that you are still playing that "evil for a good cause" bullshit.

Belos: I should not conform to the temptations of sin by talking to you, Cipher. My quest was nothing but righteous. Witches defile everything they come across. But my plan failed. All I could remember before my consciousness faded was seeing a huge, celestial frilled lizard... something more ancient than the Boiling Isles... and it told me I could live once more.

Bill Cipher: Blah, blah, blah. The difference between you and me is that I can admit that everything I had done throughout the trillion years of my life were nothing more than for funsies. I wiped out planets; I ate gods for breakfast. I drove millions to madness and watched their brains melt and seep through their ears and staining the ground. I have done more than you can ever hope to! I've slaughtered hundreds because my credit card was declined. I am the god of madness and chaos. All of this I have done before you crawled out of your mommy's hoo-ha! I have lived one-billion lifetimes more than you can attest to you one lifespan, 3 dimensional, Sloppy Joe meat puppet!

Belos: Oh? Well, to be fair, I never destroyed my home.

Bill Cipher: (stops ranting) I don't know what you're talking about.

Belos: You wanted to impress your race but they were wiped out in one tragic event wasn't it?

Bill Cipher: (grasps the side of his head) No, no. I remember that day well. A monster destroyed my world! I am a victim... how dare you bring up my past?

Belos: So now you're mad. No wonder you are still here. You can't take responsibility for anything.

Bill Cipher: (he turns red and gets increasingly angry, but he calms down) Well, tell me... how is that brother of yours? I seem to recall his name...

Belos: Don't you dare...

Bill Cipher: Caleb? Oh, yes, I remember it now. I remember that day as if it were yesterday. Your brother met a nice little witch lady, but you entered the Demon Realm thinking that he was bewitched... but you saw that he not only married her, but she was pregnant.

Belos: (grapples with his temples) Silence... no more.

Bill Cipher: (conjures up a knife) Oh, does my eye deceive me? Here's the knife that you killed your brother with.

Belos: Shut up!

Bill Cipher: HA HA HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You should have seen the look on his face! He was so devastated that his own brother stabbed him when he was protecting his wife!

Belos: She - He! I was trying to save his soul! He chose his own fate. He stabbed me in the back. After all those years being witch hunters, he allowed himself to be tempted by the wiles of that harlot!

Bill Cipher: (cheeky) Ah, does widdle Belos miss his brutha? Does he want some milky? Or someone to tell him bed stowies? HA HAHAHA HA HA HA!! Face it, old man, you are just like me. All you ever cared about was being the hero who would save mankind from the forces of evil.

Belos: Grrr.... I am not evil.

Bill Cipher: Well... The Axolotl sent you here to be "rehabilitated." If you're lucky, you can reincarnate into some worm that eats shit for a living.

How does God and Lucifer’s siblings view the sins? Are his siblings jealous they have been replaced or are some of them glad that Lucifer has found others who he can be a family with?

Also, do Asmodeus and Lucifer ever indulge in bird like behavior together?

God is very pleased Lucifer has them, He intended for it and a lot of the needless cruelty of the fall was to ensure Lucifer was found, endeared and open(desperate enough) to accept the help of the demons princes.

A full power emotionally destabilized Archangel wasn't going to be quick to make friends in hell. And Yes, I am very much looking forward to unpacking God's 'Ends justify the Means' mentality and 'Father knows best' approach to making decisions that affect other people without their say.

He likes them if only cause He's less guilty for losing Lucifer's original family if he ends up with another one.

However they as individuals are very foreign, while nothing is like Him, He has an understanding of creatures that strive for His perfection. He does not know what to do with those that have no interest in His order. Especially those created outside His will.

He skittish around Fat Nuggets as He is the Sins its very amusing

He's immune to Fear of Unknown by nature of being All knowing, they aren't Other to Him - He's perfectly aware they are complex people with depth and value. Which has unlocked some other, far stranger emotional response that like a morbid intrigue.

The sins and archangels' dynamics do have some posts here and here but im always up for an excuse for a proper mindset deep dive!

Because of implicit and explicit bias his brothers think of hellborn demons as lesser, Heaven is just like that, not necessarily bad just insignificant in the wake of God's Will and Order.

They see them as pets Luci is using to fill the void they left behind, the best he can do, while they're not necessarily upset at the situation by itself...

They are absolutely affronted at Lucifer being closer and more comfortable with the sins than he is or really ever was with them.

All he does is complain about the sins and how he has to manage them! (context) They were under the impression he barely tolerated them what do you mean he finds the demons' company preferable and there's a undercurrent of unbreakable trust and unconditional love in all that taunting and banter.

His siblings aren't jealous of being replaced however they are extremely jealous of being superseded.

They also... see the sins as bringing out Lucifer's 'worst traits', (mainly, Pride) because Christianity Heaven runs on shame and repression so nothing's more terrifying to them than someone being unapologetic in themselves

It's like, the worst parts of Catholic guilt and Protestant evangelical beliefs mixed together.

He has to miserable in hell in every way because if he was even the least bit happy away from the church Heaven that would have to mean something was wrong with him... or it. They don't want to see their brother like that but they're unwilling to compromise their worldview either, for who are they without God? Who is God if He's wrong?

Lucifer is cringe(and damned) but he is free etc etc

I'm so glad that near decade I spent studying Christian dogma and culture is coming in useful, there's so much texture and potential in this family dynamic

Yes, YES!!! I have waited my whole life for someone to ask about this, Bird solidarity!! Asmodeus unfortunately doesn't have a beak (it's different from claws or fingers and not even other angels can replicate it, fuck he misses his Dad) but still mutual preenings!! Billing!! Nestling!! Headbutting!! Wing tucking!! Someone who gets it!

I think Lucifer feels way more fondness for the Ars Goetia than he has any right to just cause a lot of them are birds.

Yeah they're pompous arrogant pricks but, those are endearing quirks to him if it's birds (okay he sees these as basically pets)

Paimon is still around despite his everything because he has a beak and is one of the few Goetia to truly prioritize ass kissing over dignity or prestige and will groom him without acting like it's weird.

Virgo Season: Maverick

Strange things are happening in the sign of Virgo at the Astra Hotel. A bigger and bigger society is forming to celebrate the birthday of the great @fredwkong. I think Maverick can expand the guest list well.

Slowly Pastor Blanco realized that things were slipping away from him. Slowly, he realized that in this hotel, the Corpse himself was at work, sending his sinful hordes after him. He was slowly running out of brothers in arms and weapons as well. It was time to use one of his secret weapons. Maverick. Maverick had once been a lost soul, but he had led him back to the path of virtue. Maverick was a paragon of virtue and discipline. And Maverick was a jerk-off idol for every depraved person scurrying around this planet. Maverick's day ran with the precision of Swiss clockwork. Working out, eating healthy, working in the community, praying. Study of the Bible. Maverick's YouTube channel "Praise the Lord with all your body and mind" was so successful that Maverick was able to make a good living from it and also support Pastor Blanco's work. And that's exactly why Pastor Blanco brought Maverick on stage the next night.

The big speech wasn't necessarily his thing. But Maverick thanked God and Pastor Blanco for the second chance he had been given. And he said what a joy it was for him to support Pastor Blanco's work. And when he couldn't think of anything else to do, he did what he did best: Show off his upper body and flex his muscles. After the sermon, Pastor Blanco thanked Maverick. The effect was exactly as desired. Even some of the fags attended the sermon. Maverick catches all the sheeple. But Maverick can change. At the Hotel Astra, all kinds of people change....

There is no wine miracle. But a liquor miracle. Maverick signs autographs to his fans, blesses convention attendees, and takes a big swig from his water bottle. Pure booze. Maverick looks puzzled. And takes a second sip. And he grabs three donuts from the buffet. A big burp follows. Pastor Blanco looks horrified. The demons are getting closer. He pushes Maverick toward the exit. Still in the doorway, a loud fart booms. For the first time in years, Maverick curses. At least in his mind. And he's so thirsty. He heads for his room on the third floor. Sounds like there's a party going on next door. But parties aren't godly. Muscle training and praying. That's godly. Maverick needs a big drink of water. Urgent. He pours himself a glass from the bathroom faucet. And drinks it greedily. And again: pure liquor.

Maverick turns on the radio. The Bible station. Death metal blares from the radio. No matter which knob he turns, the music doesn't get any quieter. And no other station comes on. Fuck, he loves the music. And he needs another glass of water.

His proper haircut becomes more sloppy. Curls form on his head. His slick muscles are starting to get hairy. A damp, smelly fur grows in his shaved armpits. Fuck, now a cigarette, plus watching porn and jerking off. Pastor Blanco calls and asks if everything is okay. Maverick tells him to fuck off if he doesn't want to blow him now. Damn, I need another glass of water, he thinks to himself.

It's almost noon when Mav wakes up. Next to him the horny guy from the next room. Curled up at the foot of the bed is his puppy Ezzy. That was a wild night. Mav takes another sip of water and lights a cigarette. Damn, why was he here again. Just to fuck and party? Fuck, what else for? Certainly not to pray.

And now he needs fresh air. His friends are into a different fetish than him. Mav is more into the simple and honest things. The smell of leather belongs together with loud music, beer, liquor and cigarettes. And good honest sex.

I found the pictures for this birthday card @homme-parfait, @love-the-fuzzy-parts3  and @nachtgarm666

[strapped-and-beheaded]

Brooke with ask meme answers. yeah.

1. Describe your OC physically- what do they look like? What notable features do they have, or what’s your favorite part of their design?

very tiny. under the oversized shirts or three layers min has a hourglass shape and defined muscle. her curly hair makes crescent moon shapes and spirals. big puppy eyes.

she's hairy and growing fur too, got fluffy sideburns and neck fur reaching high enough to give her stubble. she gets mistaken for a dogperson instead of a person with wolf tf all the time from how far along her transformation is. İt's weirdly euphoric.

2. What role would your OC fill in a friend group?

only friend group she's in is with Charlotte and Anna and they don't really have roles... She's just someone kinda funny and nice you talk to at school and nowhere else for most other people.

3. What is their stance on religion? Are they a devout believer, against the idea of gods, or somewhere in between? Do they make their practice or their opinions public, or keep it private?

she's a devout believer, even tho she hardly acts like it. hasn't been to the temple since she was taken from her mother, it's embarassing but she doesn't know much of anything about the religion she's in, she was too young.

especially with her friends being nuns, she finds hanging out in the temple relaxing, spends most her time reading, praying sometimes but she doesn't really know how to pray..?

She flipflops between thinking "I'm an animal so I can't sin, or go to heaven anyway" and "I am a demon I am horrible Virgo doesn't want me I'm going to hell"

4. How do they act when they’re sick, and does it change depending on who they’re around or how sick they are?

she pushes through as much as she can, then when she can't she crashes and spends a few days barely moving, she appreciates if anyone cares for her but won't ask for it

5. What’s one hill your OC will die on (anything from a guiding moral position to a strong opinion about combining mint and chocolate)?

snakes are literally the cutest. they have little beady eyes and cat mouths and theyre so adorable. they're dangeorus? so are big cats and other furry wild animals people find cute from a distance but snakes have such bad rep for no reason!

6. How did you choose your OC’s name?

Brooke like Broodmother

7. Lots of people don’t have a favorite food when put on the spot, but what’s a food or drink that your OC would never turn down if someone offered it to them?

anything meat. she's actually bit of a grill master herself, she got tired of eating berries while the wolves feast so she learned to butcher and grill meat. she can actually eat it raw now but she likes the wood fire taste.

8. What’s something that your OC owns that means the world to them? What’s something they own that they don’t like, but can’t bring themself to part with?

her plants. the ones she keeps in her room, she loves them so much. even the parasite children aren't really sacred to her anymore but she cares for her plants.

9. How do they fare in cold or hot climates, and which do they prefer?

she runs a bit hot so she likes cold, lately she likes snow and how quiet everything gets under the blanket of white

10. Share a sentence of dialogue from your OC that you think represents them well.

"I think I get why mom tried to kill us. I must have made her suffer so much..."

"Arf? awoo... woof."

11. How are they seen by people around them - family, close friends, colleagues, or strangers?

Family: Lowel, her older brother, seems more distant by the day really, he seemed happy to have her at first but everything she does seem to be wrong, she'd do anything for him to just fucking look at her again. but slowly she's giving up on him too... and the pack respects but fear her, she's been volatile lately, they don't leave her alone with the kids for a reason

close friends: Charlotte and Anna both regret not being there for her sooner but willing to make it right, now that theyre here. she's a precious friend to them as she ever was

colleguesclassmates: weird autistic kid that's funny and who you ask for notes at science class. there was that pregnancy rumor but ehh seems unlikely. he's been quieter lately but also close to Charlotte the most popular girl at schoool tm so net neuteral status

12. What does their bed and/or desk look like? Tidy or cluttered - are they both the same, or is one neat and the other messy?

messy. his bed is more of a nest and his desk is overtaken by the fish tank, he keeps books stashed under it and does his studying on the floor

13. How do they deal with pain (physical or emotional)?

swallow his tears and smile through it, and repress and supress his emotions until he genuinely stops thinking about it.

but his resilience carried him only so far, now that everything crashed down on him, he's constantly failing to process every single bad thing that ever happened to him. now pain puts him in fight or fight response, he won't stop clawing and biting until he gets to safety or he passes out

14. How comfortable are they relying on other people, and what situations would change their comfort level?

she'd say she's comfortable. but actually never brings herself to ask for help ever, she doesn't deserve it. she's more likely to whine and bark for help when depersonalization hits and she's a little head empty just doggy

15. How does your OC take up space? What do they do with their hands when they talk, or how do they sit in chairs?

she is small and curls in on herself in a corner on top of that, tho she has bad vollume control so she might accidenly attract attention. pulls her knees to her chest while sitting if she can, hands rest wherever.

17. What are three moments in their life that impacted your OC the most?

her mom nearly beating her to death as a toddler's up there probably.

getting kidnapped by Kylar, until then she was holding on because she had her friends, everyone else might be enemies willing to hurt her for any selfish reason but she's safe with her friend, and she has to be strong for them too! so she wouldn't break no matter what strangers do to her. but getting kidnapped and raped when she was already barely present in her body just trying to get through christmas made everything crash down. it's when she remembers/aknowledges the almost being killed thing too...

the whole pregnancy thing had a pretty big affect on her life too I'd say... İt happening literally the day after she got out of the mansion did not help.

18. If they can or would drive, what would their car be like?

third hand pickup truck she treats like a dying horse on its last leg, petting the hood of the car to encourage it and all.

19. How do they connect with the people around them? Love language, how they offer comfort, etc.

She connects to people via interests, if you let her infodumb to you long enough she considers you friends and would ask about your interests too.

Love language is just spending time together, she wants to go grocery shopping together or just go on a walk, ultimate show of love and trust is her letting you hold her leash.

Horrid at offering comfort, she needs more comfort than anything tbh maybe it should be a comfort to you that no matter what you're going through at least you're not a barely 19 yo mother of 8

20. What kind of clothing do they feel most comfortable in? What kind of clothing do they wear most often?

Oversized shirts or multiple layers as mentioned, likes shorts better than pants, likes having a hat too. doesn't actually mind more feminine clothes that much her halloween costume was a witch, tho that felt like cross dressing, she prefers to be mistaken for a boy, she is kind of a boy, boy enough, yeah.

Oh also likes those wolf shirts they're so cool, also any shirt with a dumb phrase on it or a funky design, it's nice when her clothes make her feel happy to look at

[misc-obeyme]

Lesson 35 spoilers with all the pieces (hard lesson and locked lesson) you know how it is...

Okay I didn't forget about the new lesson, but I played it last night so my memory's already fading lol.

There are a couple main things that I remember, though, so here they are.

First, I love Simeon.

Not you, too. First Solomon, then Diavolo, now Simeon is laughing about Lucifer being his usual self. Honestly.

However, I really loved this whole part. Simeon telling you to close your eyes and listen to your inner voice... and giving you advice about Lucifer, a being he's known for years upon years.

What a guy. He's pretty, he's smart, he's sweet, he's emotionally intelligent... what's not to love? I swear this fandom sleeps on this man.

Meanwhile, Lucifer's brothers are busy calling him out.

LOL. I just thought this was so funny.

Okay, let's talk Luci real quick.

He's so annoying to me, I'm really remembering why I went through my hating Lucifer phase. BUT to be clear, I don't hate him, I love him, but he's also annoying.

It's like he's playing a game of chess with MC. He wants to win, but he wants to outmaneuver everybody so that it looks like MC is the one who is winning. I didn't need Simeon to tell me that Lucifer is essentially using our own feelings against us, in an attempt to get what he wants, which is for us to stay with him.

It's like what Belphie did, but instead of trying to lock us up, he's playing mind games. It's because he has way too much pride to straight up say out loud to anyone that he doesn't want us to leave. So he has to go about it in a way that doesn't hurt his pride.

Because in the end, that's what his sin is, isn't it?

I'm not concerned. This is what we just went through with the other six, but Lucifer-flavored this time. And really, there's no way to fully depict the sin of pride without making it all about mind games, being in control, trying to get what you want without seeming like you need or want anyone else. Seems pretty clear to me.

So MC is just gonna set that guy straight and then he'll make a pact with us and then we'll see what happens after that.

HOWEVER I did find this part extremely interesting:

YES. I WANNA BE A PROFESSOR LEMME TEACH ALL THE DEMONS ABOUT THE HUMAN WORLD.

Oh uh sorry for the caps lock lol. But seriously, like I actually want this to happen. I don't care about the salary (like these guys aren't keeping MC in style already), but I think I would lose my mind if I had to be a student again.

I also liked the explanation about Mammon's luck. I love that he isn't lucky at all, but the humans he's in a pact with are. I'm a superstitious motherfucker, so I'm constantly doing things in the name of luck. I just looove the idea that being in a pact with Mams would make me lucky lol.

Poor buddy. Just let me do the things that need luck and then I'll give you the profits. I'd do it just to make him happy lol.

Okay, that's it! The rest of these are just moments that had me cackling.

C'mon, Satan! Where's your sense of adventure??

Levi, my baby. We really gotta work on this. I can think of several reasons you'd be good to travel with~

I love him so much it hurts. Don't even bother, Luke.

Didn't this exact thing happen last hard lesson? Barb calls Dia out and he gets that little frown and says something like oh uh...

Also is Diavolo more concerned about Lucifer or MC, do you think?

All I know is I love Barbatos's expression lol.

[another-lost-mc]

I want the demons in OM to be scary, dark, and creepy. I feel like the game just decided to make conventionally attractive male human with some dark personality and slapped on the demon race. I kinda liked the beginning of the game where they were kinda mean. Ik as the game progress them and mc are getting closer, but it's still nice to see that they're still demons with power that subtly shows it even without using their sins.

Anyways sorry for my long rant lol

That's totally valid! The tone of OG definitely shifted after S1/S2 and it's gotten even further away from that initial vibe in Nightbringer, with a few exceptions. I was really upset when they announced a completely new game but I thought the premise had dark, angsty potential these characters could thrive with. Outside of a few instances sprinkled throughout the first twenty lessons, we didn't really get that.

If you take away the sinister demon backstory and you neuter the romance, all that's left of this game is a bunch of handsome clowns sharing one brain cell in a glorified frat house. I don't mind if the characters are silly during events (which aren't really canon and are usually meant to be fun, fluffy ideas) but it bugs me when the main story lacks a certain maturity or nuance. That could be my own personal preference peeking through - my favourite characters are the ones that are self-sufficient and more serious/mature.

Fortunately, that's where fandom shines - poor characterization can be fixed with the power of fanfiction! Those fond memories of the demon brothers threatening MC and the uncertainty and fear of the Devildom, the constant reminders of how sketchy Solomon is, Barbatos's slower-than-slowburn romance, Belphie's special hug in Lesson 16 - special moments in the OG game that shaped who these characters are to me.

That's also why I create OCs the way I do: I'm not shy about giving them violent, sketchy backstories or questionable morality because in that world, that's who they are. They're not humans and they don't need to follow the same morals or principles that humans do. That's half the fun!

[vodika-vibes]

I take a nap and now come back to demon au!...

Are there clones representing the horsemen of the apocalypse? Like, they could be more than 4 since is star wars.

Also. Did IceDemon Boba became the Damyo of a fucking desert planet with two suns? I understand that it gets cool at night, but, its someone trying to set out something there, or is it the phrase "until hell freezes over" 😆

Yes! Demon!AU for everyone!

Surprise! New vod'ika AU suddenly dropped!

And I don't see why not? I mean, I already have the Nulls running around as the deadly sins, so I can definitely see some of the clones being horsemen of the apocalypse.

Hm...but which ones?

So, immediate thought? They're not bathmates. These guys have almost nothing to do with each other, apart from being brothers.

I think Kix is one of the pestilences. Partly because the idea amuses me, and partly because it makes sense? Too much medicine is a bad thing, after all.

Sev is a death. For obvious reasons, I hope.

I legitimately can't think of any of the others right now, lol.

As for Boba becoming the Daimyo of Tatooine? I can see him trying.

It starts like this: Jango gathers his son and the rest of his offshoots, at least the Commanders, and tells them that they need to expand their territory. Kamino is all well and good, but it doesn't take a genius to note that the planet is really only good for vod'e like Monnk and the other water-based demons. Monnk takes a moment to say that Kamino is fine and everyone else is just too picky. Cody reminds his younger brother that not everyone can breathe underwater. And Monnk informs them all that that's a "skill issue" and to get on his level. Jango ignores them, with all of the skill of a man who's been dealing with this for the better part of two decades, and asks if anyone has any good suggestions. Boba thinks about it for a moment, and then announces that he's going to Tatooine. He says he's going to end slavery, kill the Hutt who rules Tatooine at the moment, and then implant himself as Daimyo. Omega, used to her twin, shakes her head, "Have you forgotten that you're an ice demon, brother mine?" "Nope. I'm not going to let a little sun stop me." "That's...that's great, Boba." Jango says as he pinches his nose, "But, again, that planet is only good for certain members of the family." "Mustafar," Alpha-17 says, "No one lives there." "Because it's a volcano," Fox replies with a roll of his eyes as he lounges back in his seat, as though it's a throne, "Most of us can't live in lava." "Then do you have a suggestion?" Jango asks through clenched teeth. "Alderaan." "That planet already belongs to someone," Rex points out, "The people on Alderaan aren't going to just give the planet to us." "That," Fox says with a wide grin, "Sounds like a them issue." Sometimes Fox says things that make his brothers think that he's actually a War Demon, rather than a Kitsune.
