Now, Raphael Has Entered The Chat . . .

[Cover Art: Archangel Raphael with Bishop Domonte by Bartolomé Estebán Murillo] So far, deep in the throes of the cosmos . . . The New God [Archangel Michael] begins to put his thesis to the test! He’s introduced us all to what he simply calls ‘a story,’ except now with three chapters and two interludes worth of getting to know this kooky cast, we’re starting to think Michael is serious about…

Michael is trauma dumping again to FNAF movie Vanessa,,

[harunayuuka2060]

Simeon and Raphael: ...

Michael: *chuckles as he watches over a priest*

Simeon and Raphael: *decided to approach him*

Simeon: Michael, who is that?

Michael: Ah, it's MC. He's a priest.

Raphael: A priest? But... Why are you laughing?

Michael: It's hard to explain; you should watch him to know.

*At the confessional*

The man: Father, I have sinned.

MC: Go ahead, child.

The man: I cheated on my wife.

MC: ...

MC: There’s more to it, isn’t there?

The man: It was with her sister.

MC: *lets out a deep sigh*

MC: Close your eyes, and let’s pray to the Almighty.

MC: Dear Lord, here’s another one of your children. I’m afraid it’s time to update the list.

MC: Please grant his wife strength, and keep her far from the heartache she doesn’t deserve.

MC: As for this man, may he go womanless for at least the next ten years or so—

The man: Father, that's unfair—

MC: Shut up, lad. And don't call me 'Father'.

MC: I have no child who cheat.

Michael, Simeon, and Raphael: *laughing*

Simeon: Is he actually like that?

Michael: Yes. I was surprised too when I first stumbled upon him.

Michael: Now I couldn't stop watching him.

Simeon’s Journey

Simeon was introduced to us as an angel, not just any angel but an archangel; A warrior angel in charge of legions of angels.

From season one we immediately learn not everything is as it seems with Simeon. Simeon tends to bend the rules, be more relaxed, and was mentioned as having once been a Seraph, the highest rank of angel in the Celestial Realm.

In the Celestial Realm Simeon was a brother to Lucifer. He was given a rose garden by his Father and watched it diligently while having a great interest in a book of prophecy, one that foretold he’d one day lose his wings. Although this concerned Mammon, Simeon wasn’t particularly bothered.

When the war broke out, Simeon tried to cover for the brothers, and for this, he was demoted to Archangel, a busy position where his job was to defend the realm from the frontlines. Gone were the days of rest and relaxation with his family and two close remaining friends, Raphael and Michael.

To cope with the loss of the brothers, Simeon began to write about them, likely using the book of prophecy as a reference since most of his books reflected what would eventually become reality, with the main protagonist, Henry, replacing MC. These books would eventually be published but upon visiting the Devildom and discovering the brothers were so different from how he remembered he became disheartened and didn’t continue his work until Season Four of the game.

Upon coming to the Devildom in season one Simeon was guarded against Diavolo and didn’t particularly like him. He enjoyed scaring Luke, befriended Solomon, and acted as a messenger for Michael.

In season two things take a turn with Simeon. He’s more relaxed and adjusted to the Devildom and doesn’t hide his secretly stern behavior, even bringing Mammon to tears when put in charge of a play he’d write.

When everyone learned MC would likely die from their abundance of uncontrolled power, the ring of light was given up as an option because it was lost in the war. Simeon keeps quiet but immediately leaves to steal the ring from the celestial realm to save MC’s life.

These actions closely resemble Lilith’s choice which started the war with similar results.

Lilith directly altered a human's lifespan which is forbidden, by offering him stolen fruit from the Celestial Realm.

Simeon more or less altered MC’s lifespan by bringing them the one object that could keep them alive. If MC hadn’t died, Lucifer would have, Lucifer who although forgiven, was still a traitor to the realm.

The final chat of season two is Michael asking to speak with Simeon. It’s clear he’s in trouble for what he’s done.

In season three we aren’t shown anything is too different with Simeon although the brothers find it weird that he’s in the human world as it’s not an archangel's job. During his time at the cafe, Simeon meets with Raphael on multiple occasions who is checking on how he is doing as a human.

In season four Simeon comes back to the Devildom, this time as a human exchange student though this fact is only known by Solomon, Raphael, Diavolo, Barbatos, and Lucifer who keep an eye on him to make sure he is safe from other demons.

Now in the Devildom, it’s clear how powerless Simeon is. Unable to protect himself or his loved ones with an angelic blessing, everyone learns the truth. With the truth revealed and his closest friends there to support him, Simeon finally takes the steps towards accepting his new life as a human and even begins to wear his old celestial realm clothing.

But things don’t end there. Despite his newfound confidence, no more than a few weeks later he becomes sick and unsettled, even missing part of the RAD Science Fair to stay home.

While observing Simeon one day, Lucifer notices his aura has changed and when he confronts Solomon, Solomon reveals that Simeon is turning into a demon and he has been since the human world.

Moments we can see this too in the human world were Simeon’s teasing in the “Celestial Realm”, his threats to the brothers in the cafe, and his confession to Lucifer that he feared his own Father or an aspect of him.

Simeon may not understand what’s happening to him, although he knows his magic is stronger and applauds MC for noticing in chapter 47. Simeon is now forced to make another huge adjustment by becoming a demon, and it’s difficult for the people around him too—after learning Raphael was found staring into space and incorrectly answering questions, even struggling to drink Demonus, which he loves. Michael has been pestering Luke for updates on Simeon, and Luke is now concerned about his condition again.

This will only go a few different ways. Simeon becomes a demon, demon form and all, and perhaps reunites as brother with the other seven, or he’s going to fight against the change to become an angel again as even Raphael states he believes Simeon is better at his “job” than he used to be.

Depending on how Simeon copes with this change, it’s either a tragedy or a new beginning. Simeon has always been disillusioned with his job, even telling MC he believed angels couldn’t have dreams of what they wanted to do, and drunkenly sobbing to Lucifer that he’s now more of a middle management type.

Either way, for Simeon and everyone around him, it’s hardly the ending.

Demon noble #1, after seeing the name on the RAD ID that was with the belongings another demon brought to him: The human you got these from... did you kill them?

Demon noble #2, confused but still amused with himself: No... we did fuck them up though. *they laugh, nudging their friends as they still ride their victory high*

D1: You fucked them up, thats what you did, you fucked them up? Thats crazy shit man *they fake laugh, then puch the demon, sending him to the floor holding his face* You imbecile! Get the fuck out!

Later that evening, they receive a call.

Demon noble #2's father: I heard you struck my son.

Demon noble #1: Yes, sir, I did.

D2's father: May I ask why?

Demon noble #1: You see.... he, uh, he and his buddies hurt MC.

D2's father falls silent and ends the call before calling his son to him.

D2's father hits his son again: It's not what you did, son.... that angers me so. It's who you did it to.

D2: Who? That fucking human?

D2's father: That fucking human.... is MC, the master of the avatars of sin... and you have brought the wrath of heaven and hell upon us.

Did I just watch John Wick again? Yes, yes, I did. Did I use this scene from the movie as inspiration? Again, yes, yes, I did.

A woman: *who is often seen as promiscuous but is actually sweet-natured and a hopeless romantic, longing for genuine connection despite how others perceive her*

A woman: *whines* Fatheeer~.

MC: *breathes in* Oh Lord, here comes Your daughter once again, seeking healing from yet another heartbreak. This daughter of Yours never seems to learn.

A woman: *giggles* Father, that's not why I'm here.

MC: Oh, really? That's new, my child. What is it?

A woman: *excited giggle* I'm getting married~!

MC: ...

MC: Oh?

A woman: Hm-hm! And... Father... do you think... do you think you can walk me down the aisle?

MC: ...

A woman: You're like a real father to me, well, besides the fact that everyone calls you that. *chuckles*

A woman: I would really appreciate it if you were there.

MC: ...

MC: Of course. I'll be there, my child.

Michael: Awwww~!

Simeon: Seeing that warms my heart.

Raphael: It seems that MC is a father figure.

Michael: Indeed he is.

Diavolo: Such a kind priest!

Barbatos: Indeed, young master.

Diavolo: Wouldn't it be wonderful to have someone like this in Devildom?

Barbatos: *chuckles* As a priest, doesn't he harbor hatred toward demons?

Diavolo: I doubt that, Barbatos.

Diavolo: There’s no judgment in his eyes—well, except on a few obvious occasions.

Screw U Solmare

So no dating Thirteen, Raphael, and Mephistopheles? EVER

No Michael reveal, EVER

No new cards and stories EVER

It’s just….ending????

This makes no sense and is an extremely upsetting move. I’d love content outside the game but the game is the most important part. Nightbringer basically just started and we’ve never even been able to date the new characters!????

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

I literally always seem to get bad news the night before thanksgiving. That’s also when I found out my old blog was deleted.

Do we even get date events for the other characters????

I had so much hope and faith what the hell are they doing?
