#obey me mc rant

[shadow-ren]

OM/N Rant

If there is one thing that annoys me across both Obey Me games is that MC can't have more depth. Don't get me wrong, they do have a lot of personality and it shows. They have guts, intelligence, and adaptability, but the one thing I want is to have more consequential depth. What I mean by that is I want MC to be able to complain, be mad, scream, and yell about their situation. I want to be able to be frustrated and show it in the game.

I know that that is nearly impossible since MC needs to be somewhat broad about their characterization so it can fit a variety of players, but come on - How many times has MC almost been killed or killed? How many times has MC's trust been betrayed? Mistreated? Trampled? Several times. Too many times. They have been mistreated by demons and looked down upon by demons AND angels.

I don't know about anyone else, but in the original obey me after all the crap happened with Belphie and the brothers were all awkward around each other. We ended up talking to Simeon and his line of "counseling our little lambs" is kind of demeaning. I remember glaring at my phone when I first read that. Then all the stuff the brothers say at the beginning of the game about us being human has to get under people's skins since I know it did mine. It still does.

Then the very fact that the first lesson of the OG game has you just dropped into the council room, said you are to stay there for a year and btw you might get eaten. I'd be livid. I'd be questioning their intelligence and common sense. Their fucking audacity to think this would be okay to do? Just because they are demons? Fuck that. I don't care if you are a demon or GOD I will fight you in a Denny's parking lot. But we do, we stick there and nearly get killed by Belphigor for doing WHAT HE REQUESTED the little shit. I'd never trust his ass again much less want to be in the same room with him, but we don't have a choice. We can state that we haven't forgiven him, but we are still "okay" to be around him. No, absolutely not.

Then Solomon shows up the next season to drag us back down there after saying "You miss the Devildom, right? Let's go!" without any explanation. We are always left in the dark and I hate it. Communication people! And again we are dragged to the Devildom, but of the PAST in Nightbringer so we "can be happier". Fuck that.

Let me decide what I want and let me be traumatized!

⚠️Rant⚠️

I’m so tired of seeing “dom Lucifer”, “top Lucifer”, and “daddy Dom Lucifer” Is he just not allowed to bottom?

Is he not allowed to feel like an ant under MC? Is he not allowed to grovel at MC’s feet and BEG for them to have their way with him? Is he not allowed to be submissive? Is he not allowed to be at MC’s mercy? Is he not allowed to be dominated? Is he not allowed to scream out MC’s name from pure overstimulation? Is he not allowed to be a slut for MC? Is he not allowed to be a brat for MC? Is he not allowed to be a whore for MC? Is he not allowed to beg for mercy? Is he not allowed to beg?

This man is clearly not just a “dom”. He can bottom, too. Just give him a chance and let him. Maybe he gets too tired and doesn’t want to do all the work for once.

I’m looking at the ones who always write gender neutral MC’s as bottoms. Maybe some people want to see more top gn MC.

Don’t be basic. Consider both sides. Look at your recent posts and think to yourself: Are they inclusive?

Let. This. Man. Bottom. For. Once.

I find it so painfully heartbreaking that Solomon just...laughs off all the derision, the name-calling, and possibly even did "evil" things on purpose because it's expected of him at this point. (He had not always been like this as Thirteen pointed out before). There was a time when he was "innocent". When his soul sparkled. When it resembled the kind of soul everyone in these god forsaken (pun intended with spite) three realms seemed to associate with the ever loved MC. He's just...worryingly carefree. And because he's like that, he feels even more of a tragic character to me.

Sometimes it even seems that he himself would seemingly make up excuses on why he's hated. Oh, it's because I'm a sorcerer this. I might have won a war against Devildom single-handedly this. I have forgotten. But maybe, I did something bad, that. Hon, you were doing that to SURVIVE. You don't have to be a faultless person to deserve compassion. You don't have to be MC to deserve to be loved.

[irishmammonagenda]

Belphie blinks at you in greeting as you slide under the covers with him, only humming gently when you hold onto him for dear life. Dark indigo eyes noticing with interest that you haven't even started getting ready for RAD yet---not that he was one to talk---the Avatar of Sloth merely gives you a lazy smirk and wraps his tail around you under the covers as you whisper a strangled out, 'hide me'.

He nods slowly, his throat feeling much too heavy, and he himself feeling much too lazy to use his words. A pale hand pulls the covers over your head, just in time too, as Lucifer bursts into the room, ruby red eyes shining like a wolf on the hunt.

"Have you seen MC?" The eldest asks, paying no mind to the usual sound of morning chaos coming from the rest of the house.

Belphie lets out a strangled, lazy, "Nope." all the while his tail tightens around you.

Lucifer shakes his head. Looking at the you shaped lump under the covers. Merely pinching the bridge of his hooked nose and sighing, "MC. If you wanted a break from RAD, you could've just asked instead of opting to hide."

You pop out from under the covers, eyes wide like a deer in headlights, Belphegor's arms wrap around you from under the covers, his eyes sleepily tracing the features of your face as you speak.

"Right.....yeah. Sorry Luci?" You tilt your head, the Avatar of Pride's eyes soften a fraction.

"Be sure to catch up on your schoolwork, we only have room for one academic failure in this house and I'm afraid that spot has permanently been reserved for Mammon." Lucifer says sternly, though you can see the faintest upward quirk of his lips.

"Aye aye Captain." You nod, sleepily saluting the eldest.

"Belphegor."

Belphie turns to look at his eldest brother.

"Just because MC has a day off school, it doesn't mean you have one. Your uniform's hanging up by your desk." The ebony-haired demon walks out of the room.

"...Diavolo fucking dammit."

[yourlocalgrass]

I’m bored and thought of another scenario to put in tension and angst for obey me characters to go through. I like this one by the way.

_______________________________

Sorcerers’ society find out the causes of earthquakes happening faster than usual was MC due to their magic potential (MC being the cause of all the natural ‘phenomenon’ in S2) and now want to investigate MC and call them in.

Drama has already started baby.

Solomon who’s against this but goes with MC to make sure they’re ok because it’s not a good idea to ignore a seemingly threat invitation I mean.

It’s explained the Ring of light was used to console MC’s magic and everything is fine now but they’re doubting it and want to investigate the Ring of light for themselves, if it’s actually successfuly tamed their magic or just a temporary device to tone it down- simply meaning if MC’s overflow of magic would still be leaking and not fully restrained.

[Also add overprotective Solomon drama who’s against this because that’s hot and more dramatic]

It’s found out the ring of light isn’t powerful enough to completely prevent MC’s magic from overflowing and now…

The sorcerers’ society have deemed MC a threat. A large threat to the human world.

Who would be better off dead. No. SHOULD be dead.

_______________________________

「If only the story actually did have good drama like this~

Anyways I’m just describing the scenario since I can’t write at all lol if I had enough confidence I probs would haha」

[usagiglamour]

the inconsistency of diavolo

I just went through lesson 16 and… god, there's so much inconsistency in Diavolo's characterization in this part of the story, it's like they can't decide how they want him to act regarding the situation.

1 - There's the fact that apparently both he and Barbatos didn't know that Lucifer had Belphegor locked up in the attic, how is it possible that they could hide something like that from both of them when a) Barbatos can see the future and b) It's Diavolo's school, one of the reasons why Lucifer had Belphegor hidden is so that he wouldn't pay the consequences of his actions and pretended that he had sent him to the human world as an exchange student, Diavolo at least from the original timeline wouldn't allow him to be an exchange student after threatening to massacre every single human to stop the exchange program with so much passion, literally allowing it would be too risky and foolish an action.

2- This is not so much an inconsistency but it is a detail of the game and it is that the game tries to put Diavolo as the bad in this situation because Belphegor is one of the dateable characters and part of the seven brothers but it makes complete sense that he tries to put Belphegor in prison because he being free threatens the safety of the player as well as the relationship of Devildoom with the human world.

3 - After we travel to the other timeline, die and revive in the body of the MC from the other timeline, Diavolo arrived and starts talking about how the MC is a descendant of Lilith, this seems rushed and inconsistent due to the fact that they try to make it seem as if Diavolo had known about it all this time and that's why he accepted MC in RAD but in reality it seems like something that Barbatos told him 5 minutes ago and he had no idea about it and suddenly he doesn't care about the fact that Belphegor killed MC even asking Belphegor if he didn't want to hug MC too…☠

[celestialrealms]

I just noticed Mephisto matches with Barbatos (who is matchy with Diavolo) in the anniversary outfits in his SSR memory card

These three were also the only three who had half masks in the masquerade event!!!

Anyway, The Royals with Mephisto chat group when? We got one for Purgatory Hall with Raphael..... it's just fair !!

And one for Mephisto and Diavolo as well, but also one for Mephisto and Barbatos too. because you can't tell me their relationship isn't deeper than the devs portray when Mephisto has lines like this about Barbatos's room:

[impish-ivy]

Solomon constantly asking for your reassurance whenever he engages in anything romantic is due to his insecurity that he isn’t as important to you as the brothers. He needs to know you want to do this, he needs to know you love him.

If you say no he immediately backs off. You have to go out of your way to kiss him. There’s never a dialogue option that leads to a kiss without you explicitly asking for one, unlike some characters.

[pyr0man1c]

I’m using you as an excuse to rant about it. You are my sacrifice. Bugza.

Spoiler warning

Obey Me! Shall we date? Is a mobile otome game and anime were the MC (you, the player) gets chosen to be a human exchange student for RAD (Royal Academy of Diavolo) where you are taken down to the Devildom (hell) but you end up stuck as a small pink sheep due to not being used to the demon realm.

You were brought to the demon realm to be a human representative of the human world, to help make peace between worlds, being the celestial realm, human world, and Devildom.

You are introduced to the character Diavolo, the Prince of Devildom and heir to the throne, the Avatar of Pride, Lucifer, is introduced as Diavolo’s right hand man.

Lucifer puts you in the care of his younger brother and Second oldest, Avatar of Greed, Mammon, Lucifer giving you a D.D.D (Diavolo’s Devildom Device) which is the human world equivalent to a regular cell phone.

You are told to call Mammon to inform him of his role as your guide, where he very happily says “no” and only agrees once Lucifer starts counting down from 3, Mammon being scared of his brother Lucifer.

You are made to live in the HoL (House of Lamentation) with the 7 deadly sins/Avatars.

Avatar of Pride, Lucifer.

Avatar of Greed, Mammon.

Avatar of Envy, Leviathan.

Avatar of Wrath, Satan.

Avatar of Lust, Asmodeus.

Avatar of Gluttony, Beelzebub.

Avatar of Sloth, Belphegor.

Lucifer is obviously prideful and the strictest of his brothers, being the leader of the HoL. He doesn’t admit he is in the wrong or take anything from anyone to keep his pride. He is the owner of the three headed dog Cerberus after managing to tame him. His banner animal is a Peacock

(I fucking love male peacocks their so amazingly stupid)

Mammon is a greedy demon who will steal and get himself in trouble just to fill his desires for riches and valuables, he is a tsundere that refuses to admit he cares for MC, calling himself their “First man.” His banner animal is a crow.

Leviathan is a self deprecating shut-in otaku, refusing to listen to “normies” including MC. He adores the character Ruri-Chan, having many anime and game figures around his room. He had a pet snake named Henry 1.0 named after a character from his favorite book series, Tale of The 7 Lords, before he lost the snake, replacing it with a fish he named Henry 2.0. He is the admirable of hells navy and can summon Lotan. His banner animal is a snake.

Satan is the book worm 4th born who loves cats and reading, he hates Lucifer and hates when people mistake him for Lucifer and when they’re compared. Satan was born after Lucifer tore off his own wings out of wrath against god for the death of Lilith, leading to only two pairs of wings to grow back while the last pair formed Satan, made from Lucifer’s wrath and hatred, even having some of Lucifer’s memories from the celestial war. His banner animal is a unicorn. (I giggle at this)

Asmodeus is the narcissistic and sexual brother, always bragging about his looks and how he’s the prettiest person to exist, saying he looks better than someone after complimenting them. It is revealed that he is insecure about being a demon, missing his beautiful white wings and angelic aura, now finding disgust in his demon form. In later seasons he admits he loves MC as much as himself. His banner animal is a scorpion.

Beelzebub is the always hungry older twin, he is constantly raiding the kitchen and anywhere for food, never being able to satiate his hunger. (Personally) he is one of the nicest and caring brothers, talking a lot about how he misses his brother who is said to be in the human world, when he’s actually locked in the attic by Lucifer for disobeying Diavolo. He regrets the death of Lilith, after he tried to save Belphegor but Lilith getting killed in the process, blaming himself for it. His banner animal is a fly.

Belphegor is the cat napping younger twin, constantly sleeping and napping, he was locked in the attic by Lucifer for disobeying Diavolo, hating the humans and blaming humans for Lilith death, he tries to convince MC that he is a human like us that was trapped by the demons but we find out that’s a lie and he’s actually a demon, he gets us to help him out by making pacts with his brothers, he thanks us by asking to give us a hug, where he strangles us to death before we are brought back to life. His banner animal is a cow. (I accidentally got lesson 16 spoiled to me)

We are told to make pacts with the brothers by Belphie to get him out.

We make a pact in order with:

Mammon

Leviathan

Beelzebub

Asmodeus

Satan

And then Lucifer.

Lucifer is the most difficult for us to get, him refusing to make one with us due to thinking we have an ulterior motive (we do) but give a different excuse to why we want a pact, saying we want to prove our worth to him as the human exchange student.

Mammon is one you make the quickest. Ofc.

The Royals.

The royals consist of Lord Diavolo and Barbatos.

Diavolo is the demon prince and heir to the throne of Devildom, Diavolo is serious when he needs to but is a very nice and overall lighthearted character. He does not have a good relationship with his father, the current king of Devildom but is in a deep sleep, his son Diavolo taking his role while still Prince. His mother died while giving birth to him, and he thinks it’s possibly why his father was so strict and hard in him, blaming Diavolo for his mothers death.

Barbatos is the royal Butler to Diavolo, being a neat and orderly character, he is known as a the Greatest Pastry Chef, and being very good with tea and being a tea expert, he played a big role in Diavolo’s life, even as a child. Barbatos became Diavolo’s butler after a child Diavolo lured Barbatos into the castle with rare tea leaves, Diavolo saying barbatos couldn’t leave until he agreed to be his butler, Barbatos later said he thought this interaction was adorable. No one knows when Barbatos was born, or how long he’s been around, but he’s been around before the world and Devildom itself. Barbatos would not hesitate to destroy a building over a rat.

The Angels

The angels consist of Simeon and Luke.

Simeon is a very polite and caring Archangel , he is here for the exchange program as a representative for the celestial realm, he doesn’t hate anyone or anything. He is a writer going under the Pen Name Christopher Peugeot. He is a great cook and a mentor for Luke alongside Barbatos.

Luke a young Angel, about 10 in human years, he is the youngest of the group (except for MC he’s been around for centuries maturity wise tho he’s young) he doesn’t like demons especially Lucifer, but really likes Barbatos, being taught by him in baking and being mentored by him. Hes constantly being made fun of by the demon brothers, specifically Lucifer, and Mammon, having the nicknames, “Chihuahua”, “Fido”, and “Dog” making him very irritated whenever he’s called them.

The Sorcerer

There’s only one sorcerer, being Solomon.

Solomon is a representative of the human world, he’s a very powerful sorcerer, having 72 pacts with demons, including Barbatos. Barbatos holds a grudge throughout Obey Me! Nightbringer, which the sorcerer doesn’t even remember why, it is later revealed that Barbatos was upset he was placed 8th on Solomon’s pact list, being petty about it and hating Solomon (Drama queen Barbie). Despite Solomon being a skilled sorcerer and great with potions and mixing ingredients, this does not translate in his cooking abilities, often making his food a biohazard for anyone to consume and a danger for botulism, but he does not realize and thinks his food is fine.

The Human

You are the human, the MC, that little sheep.

You were brought to Devildom as the second human exchange student for the program, your avatar was made a sheep and the game uses they/them pronouns to make the game as inclusive to any player. You are the Main Character.

Anyways that’s what happens when you say you don’t know what my interest is about @blackoutbugza this is the consequences of your words. Thanks for a reason to rant tho:)

[gnc-valentine]

Been thinking about Satan angst again !

A/N: So before I yap about this I wanna clarify I’m only on lesson 44 of og and I don’t rlly know what happens story wise beyond that within og, and I only know the story beyond it within nightbringer since I’ve played a good chunk of it. So if I get some shit wrong story wise that is most likely why 🗣‼️ anyways im Gonna blabber now

I was playing the star event today since it was on lonely devil and the end of the story for it was so deliciously sad but even sadder when recognizing that mc is quite literally gonna be taken to the past soon where he won’t see them for god knows how long.

Satan feeling ashamed for lashing out in front of you towards his brothers to the point he’s hiding in his room and trying to push the mc away despite how they’re genuinely worried for him, telling them “you’re the only one who worries about me, but that worry is misplaced and that no good could possibly come from being with me”. All of that is gnarly but in the event it was resolved luckily however those thoughts obviously linger all the time somewhere within him.

Imagine the mc and him having a long heart to heart talk about each other where he eventually lets that all out to them and more. Mc gives him comfort and stays by his side all throughout the night talking through it with him until they both fall into a nice slumber. But then he wakes up and uh oh! They’re not there !! First he assumes they’re running an errand or doing something else within the house but to his surprise and further despair, no one has seen mc. Nobody knows where they are or what has happened. Then suddenly solomon disappears too.

In his eyes it appeared they left him finally, perhaps finally done with his anger and wrath, perhaps afraid. Those thoughts were nowhere near the truth and he has the memories to back it up, however that’s simply not how emotions work. It doesn’t matter wether or not they were sent back to the past or finally did leave him, because In the end they were still gone. Hell it’s even possible that maybe they decided solomon would be a better fit, which he wouldn’t disagree with. Solomon doesn’t have that shameful wrath after all, solomon wasn’t born from anger and wrath, solomon didn’t lash out at people in destructive ways like he did. As the more time passes without them there, he gets more and more upset. He starts feeling more and more shame and hatred towards himself over his sin.

Oh how he wishes mc were here with him worrying about him again.

All done yapping now, apologies if this sounds like shit or completely non sensical, it is currently 5:50 am as I post this and I have to get ready for work in like 10 minutes with no sleep all night bc of this goofy ass special interest. Aughhhhhh I LOVE SATAN HES SO ANGSTY AND DOOMED X333333

[seirxi]

Does anyone have any otome game (or adjacent) recommendations? For reference I liked 707 from mysmes and everyone in obey me

omg speaking of solomon, have you seen his nightbringer! birthday call yet? i just saw a post about it and im sad over this stinky old man (affectionately)

https://www.tumblr.com/alexxncl/761980702198841344/nightbringer-birthday-call-spoilers-masterlist

^^ here’s the post for reference (now be sad with me)

my second birthday is over so i already got that call hehe (i posted abt diavolos call i think bc that was 😳)

and like YES "for you, i would go to great lengths" AAA i feel like that's alot for someone like solomon to admit but STILL it sounds restrained as if he's hiding just the extent of what lengths he'd go to you know? YOU KNOW??? anD AND when he says that most people don't have the best opinions about him but mc just made him surround himself with people who do and now he's just. stuck with people who he loves and who love him back? like uhhhhmm idkkkl

mc helps him be in touch with his humanity and let him experience the joy of real connections and I CANT AA

[nostalgic-muffins]

ok i love streamer levi. its great, its perfect, its wonderful. but hear me out. vtuber levi.

[inactiveobeymeblog]

Don’t get me wrong, I love the headcanon side of the obey me fandom, but y’all gotta stop making the gender-neutral readers act all “anime loli girl” and shit.

(Unpopular opinion under the cut)

I’m not saying this because I’m a guy, but I’m pretty sure most gender-neutral readers in the fandom aren’t helpless, shy, easily embarrassed, overly expressive, insecure, or the damsel in distress.

I feel like we need to normalize that not everyone has the same personality in this fandom. And don’t even try making the excuse “but I don’t know how to write (insert personality)”. YOU WILL NEVER LEARN IF YOU NEVER TRY!!

But seriously, stop making the readers the stereotypical feminine “anime loli girl” and start including more personalities UNLESS they specifically ask for the previously mentioned personality.

Also, here’s another VERY unpopular opinion:

Not every character is a top. Let them switch or bottom. For fucks sake, don’t be the common, basic, bottom bitch and consider a more versatile and open mind when it comes to characters

[hollyparrot]

Levi was my main in the OG game [A vent about NB]

An old fanart inspired by trick quest

I was still planning to have my Levi-Barb-Sol trio in NB until this nightmare happened:

The Beginning of a Bond. I think this was the 2nd nightmare after NB released. It has Dia and Levi, with the chess outfit for the latter

My love-hate relationship with NB began with this. I truly loved the characters, the possibilities. I liked the rhythm game. I even had VIP until this point but I cut it off and stayed F2P after

I was so mad at the time. Not only do I need an insane amount of pulls, but I also need a duplicate of the card for the costume. That, or UR+ jokers, which there was no reliable way of getting for a long time.

So the game is telling me; I'll be wasting 150 pulls on one copy of a card that is not gonna be strong enough to use in battles, can't unlock the costume, so-so devilgram, a beautiful card art I will highly likely never see again and just collect dust in contacts? No, thank you.

NB has changed a lot since then, but the damage has been done

This changed the way I played going forward. I became very stingy with the game and hoarded everything. My mind also associated Levi (not his fault) with things that are wrong with OM/S*lmare and I had to switch the third member of my trio

In my mini fanfics I just treat it as my MC is from a different timeline and that was a different Levi. He's always a good boy though.
