Dean + the classic face of grief

AKA when an actor is allowed to act and keep the takes he wants, the real emotion seeps through

In this particular GIF, something happens at the very end, when Cas goes into what appears to be an incredibly violent seizure.

Dean's face transforms into the picture of grief. (Usually he shows panic, fear, or dissociation when it comes to Cas.)

GIF from @magnoliaswift

So, what is the shape of grief?

In simple terms, it's the wrinkled brow and rectangular mouth. Above, we see it in the way his mouth falls open, pulling back at the jaw. Like this:

The Artist's Complete Guide to Facial Expressions by Gary Faigin

The various forms of sadness—weeping, dry-eyed grief, mild distress—differ from each other mainly in intensity... The long habit—going back to infancy—of connecting any level of distress with crying causes certain muscles of the face to contract involuntarily as though one were going to cry even when we are not.

Only rarely do adults revert to the fierce unhappy outcry that we associate so strongly with infancy. Fortunately, daily life offers few miseries intense enough to trigger such a vehement response. For most of us, only the death of a loved one or the ending of an important relationship inspire the most fundamental sorrow.

Those are the muscles Jackles is activating here. Beholden only to his own directing, he's feeling the loss at the moment without holding back.

Lucifer will go on to mock this deep concern, with "CAAAS" in 11x18:

Lucifer knows. He's got cognitive empathy.

A/N: gosh I just remembered my old cringe writings, my grammar was horrible af... It still is but I'm trying to improve💀

Lucifer sat at his desk, a quiet and imposing presence as usual, though today his attention was focused on something unexpected. You had handed him a pile of old, tattered notebooks that were clearly decades out of date, and his gaze was sharp as he flipped through the pages. His eyes narrowed as he came across what could only be described as an overly dramatic, over-the-top fantasy scene. The protagonist was a self-insert with far too much flair, and the dialogue... well, let’s just say it was questionable.

You watched him from across the room, trying desperately not to cringe. Lucifer’s expression was unreadable, but you could see the faintest twitch at the corner of his mouth as he read on. When he finally closed the book with a soft snap, you braced yourself for the inevitable teasing.

“Well,” Lucifer began, his tone dry but oddly amused, “I see where some of your more... creative ideas came from.”

You flushed, face burning with embarrassment, and Lucifer didn’t help by leaning forward, his eyes glinting with that all-knowing look. “The sheer amount of overconfidence in this writing,” he continued, “it’s almost adorable.” He shifted the notebooks to one side, leaning back in his chair. “I’d expect no less from someone who clearly has an exaggerated sense of self-worth... though I must admit, I’m impressed at how well you captured the essence of an overly dramatic protagonist. A good fit for you, I dare say.”

You huffed, crossing your arms in an attempt to hide your growing embarrassment. Lucifer raised an eyebrow at your reaction but didn't press further—though his eyes still glinted with amusement. "But," he added, softening his tone just slightly, "I’ll give credit where credit is due. You’ve certainly... evolved."

Satan was enthralled by your collection of old writings. He had asked to read them out of curiosity, and what he discovered was a curious mixture of humor and cringe. The flowery descriptions, the unrealistic drama—it was almost too much to bear, but Satan couldn’t help but laugh softly under his breath as he flipped through the pages.

“I see you were quite the... romantic back then,” he commented with a teasing smile, his voice warm yet mocking as he read a particularly intense love confession between your self-insert and a brooding, mysterious character. “The amount of passion here could rival the most dramatic of Shakespeare’s works.” He glanced over the edge of the book to see your flushed face, already too embarrassed to make eye contact.

"Oh, don't worry," he added with a wink. "I understand the appeal. Everyone has written something like this when they were younger. It’s a rite of passage. You just had... a lot of flair."

You groaned, but Satan merely chuckled, clearly entertained by your discomfort. He set the book down for a moment, folding his arms across his chest as he considered you. "I can see now that the person who wrote this is far from who you are now. You've come a long way," he mused, his tone more thoughtful. "I would even say... it’s a testament to your growth as a writer."

You felt a bit lighter as Satan smiled at you in a surprisingly understanding way. “And hey, if you ever want to revisit those creatively bold days, I’m happy to read more... for a laugh, of course."

Simeon couldn’t help but smile warmly as he looked at the tattered notebooks you handed him. He always seemed to find joy in the simplest things, so naturally, your embarrassing, old writings were no exception. He opened the first notebook with an air of fondness, expecting the typical teenage melodrama—but what he found was something far more hilarious than he could have anticipated.

“Well, well,” Simeon said, chuckling softly as he read a particularly intense scene where your self-insert character was dramatically declaring their undying love for a fictional character—who, unsurprisingly, was an exaggerated version of someone you admired. “I suppose it’s charming in a way.” He raised an eyebrow, clearly trying not to laugh outright. “But perhaps, a little... too dramatic?”

You hid your face in your hands, mortified, but Simeon merely smiled, clearly not mocking you, but rather, appreciating the innocence of your past self. “Oh, darling, this is exactly what youth is about, isn’t it? All the passion, all the dreams. It’s so... pure.” He paused, turning a page. “In fact, I’d say your enthusiasm is rather endearing. Though, perhaps next time, a little less of the... self-importance?”

You whimpered, but Simeon leaned in with a warm, reassuring expression. “I wouldn’t worry too much about it. We all have our embarrassing moments from the past. Besides,” he added gently, “I think you’ve grown into a much more refined and thoughtful person.” He chuckled softly, his eyes sparkling. “Though, I do have to admit—this does make for an entertaining read.”

Simeon set the notebooks down carefully, his gentle smile not fading in the slightest. “Thank you for sharing this with me. It’s a lovely reminder of how we can look back and laugh at ourselves—and grow from it.”

Mock-up Card 1

Basically it's just an L Card with the Embittered Companion and Lucifer working together because my brain is stuck on that for some reason? It's weird. Anyways, when you activate the Ultimate Skill of this card, you switch to either Lucifer or the Embittered Companion. A sort of, two-in-one card. Embittered Companion is all about dealing damage while Lucifer is all about healing. There's a boost to their ATK for a good while after switching. Don't ask about the numbers, I didn't think of them at aaaall.

Also I don't have it in me to write prose right now, so here be lines!!!

[First Encounter]

YOU: Hey. It's been how many years? You know, since I last took up a weapon to chase people away? It's pretty nostalgic, honestly. LUCIFER: …are you already forgetting what you promised us? YOU: I'm not gonna charge in head first, you two. Get off my ass.

[Level Up]

YOU: What I lack… LUCIFER: I'll make up.

[Evolve]

YOU: It would be nice, to have less lives lost. LUCIFER: But all we can do is continue on, until the very end.

[Ultimate Skill 1]

YOU: Go ahead and take a nap, Lucifer.

[Ultimate Skill 2]

LUCIFER: Sit. Rest. You're bleeding.

[Upon Death]

YOU: I'm still shit at keeping promises huh? LUCIFER: It's not your fault. Let's go.

[Victory 1]

YOU: Glad to see you've been focusing on the task at hand, Ra-on. Well, battle's over, so you can do whatever the hell you want.

[Victory 2]

LUCIFER: This is something to celebrate about, isn't it? …yes, you'll be invited to the party.

[Defeat]

LUCIFER: A mortal body such as their's does not deserve to have injuries like this. Keep quiet, they'll wake up. I know they will.

[Lobby Interaction 1]

YOU: It's kind of funny to me that, after all that, my normal body hasn't really changed one bit. Still the same strength, still the same weaknesses. LUCIFER: It doesn't make it any less remarkable to me. YOU: So you and Ra-on say. Well, I've been in this body longer than anyone, so I wouldn't know what to be impressed by. Everything about this body is just uninteresting to me. Doesn't make me any less happy that I'm back in it, though.

[Lobby Interaction 2]

YOU: Hmm? What are you staring at us for, Ra-on? We that good of a sight? …happy, huh? Yeah, I suppose Lucifer and I make each other pretty happy. Don't discount yourself though, buddy. Wouldn't be in the place that I am without your help.

[Lobby Interaction 3]

LUCIFER: Your hands. Let me see them. YOU: Huh? Alright, but why? LUCIFER: Ra-on told me you forgot about your blisters. YOU: Oh. Oh! No, yeah I did forget. Whoops. But hey, at least I'm wearing gloves this time around, so they're not that bad. None of them popped, so they should heal nicely.

[Lobby Interaction 4]

LUCIFER: If you wanted to destroy Heaven, would you? I wouldn't blame you if you answered 'yes.' YOU: …maybe a younger, more freshly wounded version of myself would've said yes, but as I am now, no. The fate of Heaven is not mine to control. I can only control the distance between me and that place. Besides, I'll hold onto hope that the angels will eventually weed out that sickening need to be superior.

[Lobby Interaction 5]

LUCIFER: Shh. They haven't rested well last night. Whatever it is you want to ask, save it for later. Hmm? Mm. Yes, they're… still haunted by everything. Not even in sleep can they be allowed to escape. A curse that not even my powers can relieve.

[Lobby Interaction 6]

YOU: You know, I haven't heard the name Solomon in a while. Did you finally put your foot while I was away, Ra-on?

[Lobby Interaction 7]

YOU: Another angel almost snatched me up today. Even in this human form they hate so much, they still want to whisk me up right back to that suffocating cradle. Thanks for the warning by the way. LUCIFER: While we were all once siblings connected through our love for God, I won't allow them to repeat that torture. If I must make my words absolute, then I will.

[Lobby Interaction 8]

LUCIFER: Have you adjusted yet? YOU: To what? LUCIFER: To your lack of extra limbs. To that body of yours. Is there any pain? Any noises that want to invade your eyes and ears? YOU: …There's nothing. Sometimes I'll feel like I'm missing something, but it's all blissfully silent.

[Lobby Interaction 9]

LUCIFER: Do you have no intention of staying here? YOU: I have no intention of ever forgetting you, Lucifer. But, I can't stay here. This is not my home. Our home, is right where Minhyeok is. Where our beloved earth is. Hell is nice, but I'm pretty sure Ra-on and I miss the comfort of our home's air.

[Lobby Interaction 10]

YOU: Lucifer? LUCIFER: Yes? YOU: If, one day, I decide to visit, would you welcome me? LUCIFER: …always. A small visit, or a promise to dedicate our existences to one another, I'll welcome it all the same.

getting emotional over how loved charlie is

[inamindfarfaraway]

Stumbled across your post on Carmilla and Cain from one of my favorite artist and just wanted to say that I loved that post incredibly!!

I loved the way you articulated the ability for free will to shatter heavens expectations! It had me thinking about free will in general so thank you for sharing that goodness!

Thank you! This analysis just came to me as a fun little observation, I wasn’t expecting it to gain so much traction. Free will is very thematically important to Hazbin Hotel, isn’t it? Lucifer believed in the good it could do, but accidentally created evil by giving it to humanity and fell for it. Since then he’s seen all the pain free will can cause and become embittered. Charlie, however, believes like he used to and fought for human souls passionately and selflessly enough to bring him back around. The Elder Angels who ordered the Exterminations and the Exorcists who carry them out seem to alternately hate and fear free will’s power, and by their indiscriminate condemnation of sinners as inherently irredeemable, not want to acknowledge it at all.

If the theory that Adam could live on as a sinner in Hell turns out to be true, I’d love to see his character and thoughts on his mortal family and free will explored, because he must have SO much baggage, which could explain (though not excuse) him being The Worst. An interesting detail in the backstory Charlie reads is that he’s never actually stated to eat the forbidden fruit. We see Eve take it, but not him. Maybe the reason that he’s in Heaven, but we never see or hear of Eve or their children in either afterlife, is that in this canon’s version of Genesis, he’s obedient and didn’t commit the original sin, only to be cast out anyway. Regardless of what exactly happens in Eden, he and Eve are forced to fend for themselves in the wilderness. Suddenly they need survival instincts. They can bleed and starve and get sick and loads of animals want to eat them. They have existential dread. Not to mention the marital tension. Why? Because the same angel who stole his first wife messed with his second one! As a result, people can sin. They can hurt each other. This allows Cain to invent murder on his brother. He’s then cursed to wander the Earth, eternally living with his guilt and grief. Oh, and where can dead souls live on now? Where might Abel be trapped forever? Hell, a dimension made of evil, everything bad about the new and degraded human experience taken to the ultimate extreme. You’ll never guess why it exists (Lucifer. It’s Lucifer again). So Adam loses two kids with one stone that was indirectly thrown by one fucking bird guy. Can you imagine how you would feel, having lived that life?

You would have issues. A lot of issues.

No wonder he scorns redemption so much. In his eyes, free will is synonymous with sin - with suffering. But thinking damned souls to be evil incarnate at least lets him take vengeance. It lets him feel the wrathful satisfaction of physically stabbing and hacking his way through representatives of the force that cost him paradise. Broke his family. Killed his child. Maybe he was a genuinely good person when he died. For the most part. Maybe stewing in all that unprocessed trauma while watching the horrors of human history unfold and being venerated and indulged in the perfect afterlife without any of his family changed him for the worse. If you can have a redemption arc in Hell, you can have a corruption arc in Heaven.

After all, Lucifer lost faith in humanity over time. But he has Charlie. Adam’s ��daughters’ in Heaven are the Exorcists (he calls them “[his] girls” and names them, so he probably creates them), of which I bet Lute was the first. That’s a really twisted dynamic. Like, “From now on, my kids are killing people on MY terms”. Lute having parallels with Charlie makes her being the new main villain even better!

This got out of hand. What I mean to say is, the first human family and how they relate to the theme of free will have huge potential for exploration and development. And if Adam is reborn as a sinner, it would be precisely the Hazbin Hotel blend of heartbreaking and hilarious to have him reunite with Eve, Abel, Seth, etc. in Hell and they’re all like “What. The FUCK?” and his whole horrible personality just collapses in on itself.

[diabolicphallus666]

So just got done watching To the Devil a Daughter, and got an idea after seeing the baby sacrifice scene. You could get a Reborn Babydoll, use some soundboard effects of a baby crying, grab some fake blood, make some sigils, create an incantation to your deity of choice, and recreate a mock child sacrifice.

With a bit of video editing, you could make it look very realistic!

[paigeyssims2004]

Adam: What is that? Is that your fucking ducksona? That's cringe😒"

Lucifer: "YOU'RE CRINGE👹👺"

Adam: 🥺

~5 minutes later~

Charlie: "Hey, Dad."

Lucifer: "What is it, Char-Char?"

Charlie: "Well, we're about to start today's activity and when I went to get Adam, he was not in his room. Have you seen him by any chance?"

Lucifer: "Uhhhhhh...."

~meanwhile in the hotel's bathroom~

Kinda' wanna draw Alastor being loomed over by Varian's kinda' mid-form that is big but not giant and feral and looking absolutely terrified but that requires drawing Alastor and he's a pain in the ass to draw, I still haven't managed it.
