”I hate you and I always will. Forever, until the stars twinkle out of the sky, until nothing is left but darkness, I will hate you forever.”
“Do not lie to me.”
Ok so Asmodeus is one of the most tragic characters I’ve ever seen actually
Because he is so insistent that he be right, that his Prime siblings be the betrayers, he claims that he hates his brother (even though we all know that’s not true because look at what the fuck we just watched)
And I was thinking, why? Why does he need this? Why does he need to hate the sun, why does he need his siblings to understand that mortals are lesser?
And then that led me to his view of mortals, how they don’t matter, they die so fast, they are little blips in the eternity of the universe, and he needs that to be true
And I kept thinking, what happened? What made him this way? He was full of light, he loved his siblings so much, so what happened?
And then I remembered how he came into the real. He was born in fire, he was born already in the most excruciating pain imaginable, and the only reason he survived it was because his sister was there to take it with him
But she got to be mercy. She got the everlasting light of a candle, eternal and constant and calm. And he got the raging fires of hell, the pain of being made real and permanent and stuck. And gods, if I were born in that much pain and it never stopped, and there was a constant reminder that I could’ve gotten something good out of the whole thing and didn’t, I’d hate being real too. I’d hate any reminder that I am real, because if mortals are real and important, then something real and important must have made them, and that means Asmodeus is real. The pain is real. The pain is permanent.
He doesn’t get to be the eternal candle. He doesn’t get to be the new dawn. So he claims he doesn’t need it, that he hates it, but Asmodeus is a liar and he lives in pain, and he loves his siblings but will destroy them before he admits that.
