I can't wait to see what Ufotable does with this panel:

[nerdy-talks]

I know I’m a bit late to the party, and this topic has already been discussed by others… but I wanted to add my own thoughts/opinions regarding Lesson 35.

Personally… I think Mammon is absolutely correct :

Oh, I beg to differ, Satan.

Maybe Lucifer won't be fully controlled by his own powers, but it's extremely possible that he's being heavily influenced by them.

I'll go a step further and say I firmly believe that, although Lucifer may be better equipped at controlling himself/hiding the fact that his sin is starting to take over compared to his brothers, he IS still being greatly affected by his pride.

I previously said that Lucifer genuinely seems so manipulative and borderline controlling now (moreso than ever).

I also said that I strangely like that side of him not just in a kinky way either lol. I just truly mean that, generally speaking.

Why?

Because doesn’t it fit Lucifer perfectly?

I mean, think about it :

A prideful demon such as Lucifer couldn’t possibly be wrong. His viewpoint is the only thing that should make sense. His opinions matter, his advice and decisions should be accepted with the utmost gratitude. Because Lucifer knows best.

He’s right.

Call me crazy, but I feel like all of that plays in so well with the power struggle going on between Lucifer and MC right now.

(In reality, I would be butting heads way more with Lucifer. Simply because I am a pretty stubborn person, and I would challenge his idea that he knows me better than I know myself..... Yes, I still haven't let that go lol)

But I’m most excited for what may happen next…. because I wonder if Mephisto’s arrival will end up fueling Lucifer’s sin.

We all know how much Mephisto dislikes Lucifer.

And it’s bad enough that Mephisto is going to successfully interrupt a private trip between Lucifer and MC… but if Mephisto starts questioning and/or contradicting Lucifer, inserting himself in their conversations, acting like he knows more than Lucifer… perhaps it will lead to Lucifer’s pride consuming him.

After all, who is Mephisto or anything else to question or challenge the Avatar of Pride?~

Plus if MC is directly involved, I’m positive that will only exacerbate matters.

Well… either way, MC will be involved because we have to save our favorite sadistic old man haha xD

Anyway!

I am seriously looking forward to the next Lesson.

Maybe I’m a bit of a sadist myself for saying this, but I kinda really want to see Lucifer struggle to control his sin to the point where he absolutely needs MC’s help.

At the very least, it would be a good reason for Lucifer to potentially give in/change his mind and finally make a pact with us.

Either way, I’m excited for what will come next (:

[seaglassdinosaur]

It’s the fact that he didn’t have to be miserable.

All of his agonies about his weakness and monstrousness and lack of control was self-constructed, self-inflicted and he didn’t need to be miserable.

[kyistell]

I went outside the other day!!!

[the-haunted-office]

"Oh- Is that you, Doomsday? Why, good morning! Don't mind me - just getting in some good ol' morning rounds of Solitaire before breakfast."

Doomsday scoffs, but otherwise says nothing as she moves swiftly past where James is seated at cubicle 411, playing - for god knows why - Solitaire at nine fucking o'clock in the morning.

All Doom had wanted to do that morning was get some coffee and something to eat. That's it. That's all. Nothing else. Nothing more. She certainly didn't want to encounter any bullshit, much less bullshit in the form of some dipshit who seemed determined to make it his eternal life's mission to make her eternal life as miserable as possible. Him and his stupid crush on her, or whatever the fuck it was. She just wanted him to leave her alone.

(Cut here due to length!!)

But no. He couldn't do that. He couldn't do the bare minimum of fucking off. He had to be sitting there, waiting for her instead. Oh, sure, he was acting like he wasn't waiting for her, like this whole thing wasn't a set-up, but she wasn't stupid. She's seen enough of his behavior to know better. He just so happens to be sitting there in cubicle 411, playing Solitaire at 9:00 AM, completely out of his ordinary behavior? And he has the nerve to turn and look at her with that wolfish grin of his and wish her a "good morning" on top of it?

Oh hell no. Her morning was good until she happened across him.

She's about to just continue on her way to the lounge without entertaining him at all, when something dawns on her.

His posture as she was coming up on him and saw him sitting there. And the way he was playing Solitaire. That strategy of keeping all the cards aligned on the left and the way he was moving his mouse around, just something about it looked so familiar to her that she almost missed it. Even the positioning of his left hand on the keyboard and color of the deck of cards. All of it.

That's Stanley. That's all Stanley. Where did he-?

The thought races across her mind so quickly, before she can process it her body is reacting. Her feet are backing up and with a growl and a swift movement of her arms and hands she has James by the front his shirt, lifting him out of his chair and pinning him to the wall, her eyes alight with fury.

"I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM STANLEY!!!" she roars, anger pulsing through her with so much ferocity that for once James looks genuinely afraid of her. His eyes are the size half-dollar coins and Doom can feel him trembling beneath her grip, can see the way the blood has drained from his face and the way the whites of his eyes stand out against the hazel of his irises.

"What? Doomsday, I- I- I can explain-" James stammers, fumbles, trying to desperately to get her to understand.

Doomsday isn't having it. His words only anger her further. Whatever he has to say, it's bullshit. It's always bullshit. Every single word he's ever spewed out of that stupid fucking mouth of his. Pure, utter fucking bullshit.

She pulls him away from the wall and throws him to the ground, forcing not only a pained grunt from him but a good deal of the air from his lungs.

Doom doesn't even see James there anymore. All she can see is red. Her thoughts are chaos. This piece of shit. This fucking piece of shit! She told him to STAY AWAY FROM STANLEY and he DISOBEYED HER. All she can think is how much she wants to kill this motherfucker for daring to undermine her, for daring to go after Stanley YET AGAIN. And for what? For what?!!! To mess with her? To mess with him? To... show off?!!!

She can't comprehend it. None of this makes sense. James doesn't make sense.

He's trying to get away from her, doing some awkward crab walk backward down the hallway. This fills her with a sense of glee. GOOD. He should fear her. It's about time he does. She's going to make sure he fears her so thoroughly, disobeying her will never occur to him again.

"Doom, wait! I'm sorry! I'll-"

Doom doesn't respond. It's too late for apologies.

She does begin spawning in her scythe, though, something which James has never seen before. And it shows. As the onyx black handle of it emerges from Doom's hands, even more terror reflects in James's eyes, so much that he wets himself. Doom can see it in the way his jeans darken in the front and a the sharp scent of it fills the hallway.

Prey.

"Wait, no, you don't- Doom, come on! Are you serious?" he pleads, blubbering, trying to get up, but before he can, Doom has him pinned again, this time with a heavy boot to chest, once again pushing all the air out of him.

He flails, and wails, trying to push her off of him, pleading, begging, but it's like pleading with a statue, one that doesn't grant any wishes - except for death.

"Doom- Doom, come on, please- please don't do this. Whatever you're about to do with that- Please- I'm sorry- I'm sorry!"

His cries are cut off when she presses the glowing blade of the scythe into his head, his body giving a jerk before going limp. There is no blood, no wound, no cut, no injury of any kind, just the silvery blue glow of the ghostly blade sinking straight through flesh and bone alike as though it wasn't a barrier at all, and coming out clean with the red-magenta hue of James Wolfe's soul attached to the end of it, flailing and eyes flashing about in confusion.

Doom presses her lips together and grabs him - James's soul - firmly by the wrist, before he can drift away, gaining his attention.

That's all she gives him time to do before she's yanking him clean from the rest of his body while maintaining her grip on her scythe with her other hand. She can feel James's soul struggling against her, but it's useless. It's like a butterfly struggling to get out of a cage, its wings beating uselessly against the mesh. She'll be able to hold him for a short while before he can get loose - too much longer and technically he could run and get lost, and, well, truth be told she doesn't care too much if that happens.

Giving a firm yank, she pulls him around and readjusts her grip on him, moving her hold on him from his wrist to the back of his neck. Before he even has a chance to protest, she shoves him face first into the nearest reflective surface, which happens to be the glass frame of a painting hanging on the Office wall. She follows along with him.

Seconds later, they are both in the In-Between, Doom hanging onto the edge of the frame on the other side with the bottom half of her body, as she is leaning into it.

James is screaming, as well he should be.

The In-Between is a place that is neither here nor there. A place with no direction. No up, no down, no left, no right, no land, no sky, no gravity. There is nothing, nothing at all, except for millions, upon billions, upon trillions, upon an infinite amount of crystal-like objects that are only visible to souls, which represent reflective surfaces throughout the multiverse, doorways into the In-Between. It is a place that will remain after the end of all universes, and a place where Shattered Souls go.

James is screaming because he can hear them screaming.

"WHAT THE FUCK! WHAT THE FUCK! WHAT THE FUCK!" he repeatedly screams.

"Shut the fuck up, James," Doom commands, but James can only continue to scream. "Do you want to stay here? Huh? Is this where you want me to leave you? Because I swear to fucking god, I fucking will if you go near Stanley again. Do you fucking understand me?!"

"Yes! Yes! I understand! God! Just- GET ME OUT OF HERE!"

"I want you to remember this, James. I want you to remember this any time you think about fucking around with Stanley. I want you to remember this any time you think about fucking around anyone else. And I want you to remember this any time you think about fucking around with me. I could have just left you in here. I could throw you in here and you'd be lost forever. Your body would die. Do you understand that, James? Your body would sit here in the Office and die and decompose, and you, what really comprises of you, would be stuck in here forever. Past eternity. With them. You'd never get back out of there. Not unless I fished you out. But you'd be stuck like this forever. No more body. So think about that. Think about that realllllly good before you fuck around with anyone else ever again. Got it?"

"Yessssss!" he sobs.

Doom isn't sure she's convinced, but it'll have to do for now. She, at least, knows she'll hold true on her threat.

She yanks James's soul back through the glass frame and drops him back into his body, which instantly begins breathing again. By the time James is sitting up and patting at his body with his hands like he's trying to convince himself that, yes, he is back in his body and that, yes, he is still alive, Doom has despawned her scythe and is brushing off her jacket and pants and straightening them out with disturbing calm.

James wastes no time in getting the fuck out of there, Solitaire and breakfast alike forgotten.

Doom watches him flee, then turns and heads back for her room.

She's lost her appetite for breakfast.

Doodles I made a weekish ago of Mind & Soul in different outfits I found online

[tranquill-feathers]

Might be best to explain it sooner rather than later. Someone might try twisting the story if she doesn't hear it from you.

Yeah, I know...she is going to find out sooner or later, and it is better that it be from me than from a history class or online thinkpiece or some fanatic loyalist to a made-up version of N. I...

...Truth and Ideals, has it been five days since I first brought that up...? Time really got away from me. Hm.

[honey-tongued-devil]

Arcane preference reacting to a s/o with a mental health issues (eating)

My disclaimer, as someone with this issue, I’m sorry if this isn’t what you wanted. I’ve actually been thinking about it for a while, but I was a bit cowardly about doing it, so I’m taking the opportunity now. I don’t want to go out of character, so I’m sorry if some characters come across as harsher than others. Unfortunately, I know I should write the name of the illness, but if I post it that way, Tumblr will take it down.

Jayce:

- He’s academically intelligent, but it takes him far too long to notice that something’s wrong. But you can’t blame him, it’s something so far removed from him that he couldn’t have understood it sooner.

- When he does realize, his first reaction is panic.

- Jayce can’t feel like just a blade of grass; he feels emotions deeply, taking on any blame, especially if something happens to the people he loves. His first thought is that he did something to make you feel that way, inadequate.

- But once the panic phase ends, the responsibility phase begins.

- He does the grocery shopping, he cooks, and his workouts become more regular, where he has you climb onto his back while doing push-ups or holds you in his arms during other exercises.

- He doesn’t know why you do it, but the quickest way to show you that your weight isn’t a problem is by showing you how easily he lifts you.

- And maybe, if you feel up to it, he can hold you in his arms with one arm supporting you while he cooks, letting you taste various ingredients.

Viktor:

- Unlike Jayce, it only takes two suspicious behaviors in a row for him to understand what’s happening. It’s something far from his world, sure, but he recognizes it.

- And he confronts you. He doesn’t beat around the bush, doesn’t stammer; he might even sound angry because he doesn’t understand why you’d hurt yourself like this and willingly give up your well-being.

- I won’t lie, I doubt that an open discussion about something this delicate with him wouldn’t lead to at least one hysterical cry.

- But he’s not brutal for the sake of being brutal; his suffering and frustration turn into anger. It takes him a while to calm down, but he won’t accept compromises.

- You’ll have meals together at home, either returning to your rooms together or straight to the house, so no one can see you and you won’t feel bad.

- And he won’t force you, he tries to handle it with as much care as possible, but there’s no day that goes by without him getting up from the table if you haven’t eaten at least two food items per meal.

- He loves you too much to see you hurt yourself in that way, and knowing that he can't do anything about it makes him feel powerless.

Ekko:

- It takes him a week—not to understand, but to process it.

- Having grown up in total poverty, the idea of giving up food “for whim” makes him react in a way that is only human.

- And the whole thing is too distant for him: everyone’s skin is grayish, 90% of the population of the Lanes has missing limbs and monstrous prosthetics, and everyone’s goal is to survive as long as possible. What does it mean that you’re against your own survival??

- As unsupportive as he might be regarding the issue, he becomes incredibly vigilant and concerned.

- He’ll always make sure you’re warm enough, that you’re comfortable, and no matter how frustrated he is, he’ll always try to stay close to you, even just holding you in bed until you fall asleep.

- Every single comment you make about your body, he’ll respond with, “Don’t talk about my partner like that,” 

- no one can speak badly of you, not even you.

Vander:

- The most understanding: he was young once too, and although in his size meant an advantage, he and Silco snuck into various galas when they were younger, and there, even though he never had these problems, he would feel a strange sensation seeing that he was the biggest in the room or that it was hard to find someone to steal clothes from that would fit him.

- He doesn’t lecture you or anything like that, he doesn’t get angry despite how he grew up; he just feels sadness for you that you can’t see how little that complex matters and how beautiful you already are.

- His compromise is vegetables. If you don’t feel like eating every meal every day, it doesn’t matter, but at least four days a week, you have to have three meals.

- And for the rest, he’ll cook, making sure to prepare the best dishes made from vegetables so that you don’t feel guilty and your body doesn’t deteriorate.

- But he doesn’t support your illness, he simply ensures that you get everything you need and never go below the necessary intake without having you feeling guilty about it.

Silco:

- Hoping that the most attentive and watchful man in the lanes wouldn't notice how, suddenly, meals go from moments of lightness to something you try to avoid at all costs is a bit foolish, but he says nothing.

- He waits for as long as necessary, basically to see how long it lasts and how much you're not planning to talk to him.

- When he realizes you won’t, not anytime soon, he waits for you to be alone in his office, where you’ll find a slice of cake on his desk. Sure, it’s a low blow, but it’s also the fastest way to get you to confront the issue without too many escape routes.

- He’s a big fan of the saying “dirty laundry is washed in the family,” so if you act strange about meals in front of others, he won’t allow questions or jokes, but in private, he won’t accept “no” for an answer.

- He has enough problems already without you crying from hunger pains or having psychotic episodes due to sugar deficiency, so as long as you're under his watch, under Zaun's eye, he won't let you live with unhealthy standards.

- During meals, he becomes the strictest. He doesn’t say anything, but one look is enough to make you think twice about contradicting him. In the evening, though, when your mental health is most fragile, he becomes gentler, comforting you as much as you need.

Jinx:

- You find fertile ground, but like any good bearer of the same issue: she feels she can do it, but you cannot.

- Being with her or in her space becomes like a live-action version of Thumbelina: she’ll leave sweets, chocolates, things she knows you like to encourage you to eat so you can’t hurt yourself.

- She usually forgets to eat herself when she’s caught up in her studies and work, but if she has someone to care for, it doesn’t matter how, she’ll make sure to remember. Even if it means setting a few colorful bombs with timers.

- She feeds you. In the most visible, worst way. It’s easy that if you turn your head, you’ll find a cookie shoved in your mouth unceremoniously.

- And every single tight-fitting outfit disappears from her lair. Magically, whatever clothes you pick up from her pile fit loosely, but if you ask her about it, she’ll claim she doesn’t know what are you talking about.

Vi:

- Want to see Vi in a panic, becoming super protective and possessive in a way? Just wait for one episode, and you’ll see everything you haven’t seen.

- She’ll check on you at least three times a day, and in the evening, when you have pain or a crisis, she’ll run back and forth from the room, thinking about everything she can do to help you feel better without making you feel guilty.

- During meals, she’ll hold you in her arms and insist that you eat, but not aggressively—in a way that’s almost frightened: she’s always been used to fighting big, real monsters, but even when it came to her sister, she could never defeat the invisible ones, and the fear of failing or hurting someone she loved again terrifies her in an agonizing way.

Caitlyn:

- Like Jayce, she’ll also try a more physical way of reassuring you, like body worshipping when you’re alone or working out with you to show you that your weight doesn’t matter.

- She doesn’t know how to react; she realizes it quite quickly but fears that by acknowledging it, she might only make you feel worse.

- One day, she gathers the courage to ask if everything is okay and tells you that she’s noticed those behaviors. When you open up to her, telling her about the issues, she doesn’t respond right away and simply hugs you.

- She becomes more caring, making sure that you don’t have to attend banquets or dinners where you wouldn’t feel comfortable, bringing you food in your room to eat together, and sometimes even leaving the room so as not to put pressure on you.

- When you mention a craving, she immediately springs into action to get it for you, even if you complain that you weren’t serious. Once she understands how your condition works, she orders everything in three portions, so she can eat with you and then be the first to say that she wants more, asking if you want to share the third portion.

- If you have fat accumulated in any area, she’ll knead it with her hands while kissing you, to let you know that she loves every inch of you.

Mel:

- She notices you're having a crisis before you even realize it yourself.

- She’s a ruler, but what she learned from a young age is that a leader must appear reliable and look good, so even if unconsciously, she too sometimes experiences small crises when she feels like she isn’t looking perfect.

- No conversations, no lectures, just an increase in cuddles, moments of intimacy, and later, she brings home sweets.

- “They were a gift to me today at the council,” she lies, but sometimes she says she got them for both of you.

- She doesn’t want to make you feel like you’re in the wrong.

- She knows that when you’re ready and if you want to, you’ll bring up the issue with her, but for now, the best thing she can do is help you get through the episode with euphoria, love, and treats that encourage you to listen to your hunger rather than the illness.

Sevika:

- Like everyone in Zaun, the idea that someone would voluntarily give up food is simply incomprehensible to her.

- But she won’t comment on your problems. She doesn’t intend to invalidate them, but she also won’t encourage it.

- “Are you sure? That’s a bit too little,” will be her comment when you eat something ridiculously small, before making you a proper portion of food herself. If you try to argue, she’ll respond with a smug smile, saying that if you eat that little, you’ll end up breaking when you’re in bed together.

- If a crisis is particularly bad, she’ll try to finish her work as quickly as possible to be able to stay with you for the rest of the day and not leave you alone.

- As much as possible, she’ll try to get the best, freshest, and most natural food, to reassure you that you don’t need to worry, but she’ll never insist that you eat if you say you don’t feel up to it.

- She’ll gesture for you to come sit on her lap and keep you there, occasionally offering you things she knows you like, telling you that she’s really craving them, and if you want them too, she’ll go get them.
