“I don’t understand, why is a stupid record bein’ broken such a big deal?” Mammon crossed his arms. “Beel’s just cursed or somethin’ right? So just reverse it. No biggie for someone like you, Lucifer.” 

It didn’t take long for most everyone to begin sobering up once Lucifer began to exhibit signs of panic. While some thought it was just because he cherished his precious records, others were a bit more concerned. The usual stoicism of the eldest brother faltering was not something often seen, and Storm especially began to grow deeply concerned by what this meant. 

“It’s not just the siren song that was on this record.” Lucifer sighed, nervously picking at pieces of vinyl. “It contained numerous dangerous songs. One of those songs was the Hymn of the Reaper.”

Solomon and Barbatos gasped in sync, catching everyone’s attention. 

Storm swallowed, fear welling in her stomach. “W-what’s the Hymn of the Reaper?” 

“It’s a song from the opera of the same name. It’s performed at the climax of the story.” Solomon gave a deep, concerned sigh. “The protagonist is a young man who is killed by the reaper in the last scene. That’s when the reaper sings this song, blowing out the candle upon which the man’s soul burns. 

“This is the record I obtained for you in exchange for some rare demonus several years ago, yes?” Barbatos nervously glanced toward the pieces in Lucifer’s hands, already knowing the answer. 

“Indeed.” Lucifer sighed. “The version from the year 1818.” 

“That’s the performance that was so ghastly that it’s rumored they were actually channeling the spirit of a reaper, right?” Solomon shook his head, his eyes widening in panic. “This isn’t good at all...” 

Storm shuddered as a chill went up her spine. Looking to the other humans for support. The only other sober human was Vivi, who shrugged in uncertainty as she caught her gaze.  

“So, what does this mean exactly?” Diavolo sighed, rubbing his temples to nurse his impending hangover. 

“It means that Beel may have incurred the wrath of the reaper by breaking the record.” Solomon glanced toward the 6th born, who nervously fidgeted with his fingers. “And there’s a chance that the reaper might decide to extinguished Beel’s soul at any moment.” 

Belphie shook his head, frantically trying to regulate his breath “What! B-but that would mean-” 

“Beel’s soul would be taken by the reaper and he would cease to be.” Lucifer sighed, refusing to make eye contact with the others in the room. His heart pounded with fear, and his skull felt as if it may crack with how terribly his forehead was throbbing. 

The room grew silent for a moment, those were still in their boozed haze before where now snapped back to the harshness of reality. Beel whimpered nervously, not knowing what to make of his situation. 

“T-that can’t be right...” Vivi shook their head, feeling their own panic begin to rise.  “They’ll kill him over a shitty broken record?!” 

“That’s so stupid! And how would the reaper even know that Beel was the one that broke it?!” Fern added, trying to shuffle their way closer to Belphie without being noticed. They stood a few steps in front of him, holding his hand behind their back to ensure no one else saw. 

“I’m afraid I can’t say for sure, but I wouldn’t exactly rule it out.” Barbatos sighed. Everyone glanced at each other nervously, not sure how to take the news that Beel’s life could end at any second. 

“W-what are we going to do?” Storm nearly shouted. She squeezed Beel’s hand tightly, smoothing over his knuckles to try to calm both him and herself down.  “There’s got to be something we can do to fix it...right Lucifer..?”

Lucifer hesitated but glanced up to meet Storm’s panicked expression. His heart dropped to his Stomach as he watched the last bit of hope drain from her eyes, clearly not reassured by his demeanor.

“I’m not sure...” He dropped his eyes back to the record pieces. He smoothed over the vinyl with his thumb, trying his best to remain calm to not further spiral the room into panic.

After a moment of tense silence, Satan cleared his throat. “Well, based on what I’ve read, the reapers are said to live in a cave somewhere in the Devildom, though the entrance is hidden quite well.”

Fern crossed their arms. “Okay, so say we find this place...what exactly are we looking for, then?”

“In the deepest part of the cave is a chamber where row after row of candles are kept. Each one represents someone’s soul- angels, humans, demons...all creatures that reside within the three realms.” Satan began pacing, as if trying to work out the logistics of getting to the cave. “Normally, the reapers monitor these candles. When one of them starts to go out, they know that the person’s death is nigh, and go to harvest their soul.”

“So all we have to do is just get into the reaper’‘s cave and check on Beel’s candle right?” Storm glanced around, her eyes finally landing on Lucifer

“Then...then why don’t we do that?!” Belphie yanked his hand out of Fern’s pushing past them to plead with his older brother. “What the fuck are we just sitting around for then!? Beel’s life is on the line here!”

“Belphie, I’m afraid it’s not that simple.” Lucifer sighed, finally setting the pieces of the record on the credenza behind him. “Amongst all else, I don’t even know where the reaper’s cave is, and-”

“But we can’t just sit and do nothing!” Belphie yelled, now standing toe-to-toe with the eldest. “Don’t you care that Beel could die!?”

“Of course I care!” Lucifer snapped back aggressively, hurt evident in his tone. He and Belphie stared each other down for a moment as everyone watched on in an uncomfortable silence. After a tense minute, Lucifer sighed again, pinching the bridge of his nose. His voice was now a mere whisper, hiding the tears that threatened to pool in his eyes. “I care more than you know, Belphie.”

Beel whimpered again, trying to ease his discomfort by squeezing Storm’s hand. Before Lucifer and Belphie could argue any more, Solomon chimed in cheerily.

“Oh, I know the location of the reaper’s cave. I can take you there if you’d like.”

Everyone snapped their heads toward Solomon, confused as to how he even had that information. He smiled at Storm, who looked incredibly relieved.

“Why the fuck didn’t you say so earlier!” Vivi snarled, balling their fists tightly. They attempted to take a threatening step toward Solomon, but were stopped by Satan’s outstretched arm.

“Whatever! We just need to go. Now.” Belphie gestured impatiently toward Solomon. “Lets get a move on!”

“Wait.” Beelzebub sheepishly murmured. “I should go alone. This is my problem, I need to fix it.”

“No, I have to go with you. You can’t do it alone.” Belphie linked arms with Beel, refusing to let go.

“You have no idea what you’re up against.” Lucifer sighed. “Everyone else stays put, Belphie, myself, and Beel will go.”

Before Storm could open her mouth again, Lucifer interrupted her. “That includes you, Storm. You are staying as well. I need someone responsible to look after the others.”

“What, ya saying I ain’t responsible?!” Mammon snorted in frustration.

“Yes.” Lucifer stated flatly, before turning to Solomon as he began drawing a large circle on the ground with chalk.

“Lucifer...” Storm pleaded, her eyes shimmering with fear. “I’m worried about Beel. Please...”

Lucifer sighed. “...I have a bad feeling about how things will turn out with all of us going to the cave. This is enough of a hassle as it is. I have no desire to make it even worse...” he paused, staring into Storm’s puppy dog eyes.

“But there’s power in numbers, right?” Heart added with a shrug.

“Yes, I’m sure that would be true if you were talking about individuals who were in any way competent.” Lucifer pinched the bridge of his nose. “But that’s not the case here. Just imagining this group in that castle gives me a headache.”

“We’re a family.” Levi interjected, stepping forward. He puffed out his chest in a display of faux confidence as he stood up to Lucifer. He swallowed hard, sparing a nervous glance to Sarah for support. “We wont just stay back and do nothing. We’re going.”

Lucifer sighed, closing his eyes as he admitted defeat. “Fine. But you will all behave and better not touch a single thing in that cave.”

Storm ran to Lucifer, hugging tight around his midsection. He lifted his arms, uncertain of what to do with them as she nuzzled her head against his abdomen. Her voice was low enough to where only he could hear. “Thank you, Lucifer.”

His cheeks burned red as he awkwardly patted Storm’s back, not knowing how to feel about her sudden, brazen display of intimacy in front of the others. He glanced around, landing almost instantly on Fern’s harsh scowl, and then to Barbatos’ warning stare. Finally, she let go, smiling warmly at him. He couldn’t help but smile back.

“I will request that we have some individuals stay behind to aid in cleaning the mess with the angels.” Barbatos interjected, trying to shift the focus to the ridiculous mess behind them. He narrowed his eyes at Sarah, knowing she was a significant contributor to the mess.

“Fine. Sarah, Vivi, and Fern, you two will stay.” Lucifer aided Solomon in moving some furniture out of the way as he marked his path, whistling a joyful tune as he worked.

“What! Why us?!” Sarah’s words slurred as she whined at the oldest.

Lucifer whipped around, a look of rage passing by his features as he pointed to Sarah and Fern. “First of all, you two are beyond drunk and your presence would likely cause trouble. Second, you all specifically are responsible for a significant amount of this damage, and I expect that Barbatos will keep you three in line.”

Lucifer turned to Barbatos, straightening his back. “You have my permission to inflict any punishment you desire if either of them shirk off their cleaning duties.”

“Understood.” Barbatos smiled wickedly, casting a satisfied grin toward the 3 humans. He immediately handed them all brooms, ordering them to get to work.

Lucifer sighed, catching Storm’s twinkling eye and warm smile out of the corner of his vision. She moved to grab Beel’s hand again. He figured she was comforted by the supportive touch, and thought for a moment perhaps he should take up her other one.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve drawn this particular magic circle.” Solomon mused, cutting off Lucifer’s thoughts.

“Hurry up Solomon.” Belphie hissed, impatiently pacing around Beel and Storm.

Another deep sigh escaped Lucifer’s lips. “Please try to be patient. We don’t want him to make an error and send us to the middle of Lotan’s lair or something.”

“He could work a little faster though.” Belphie murmured as Solomon stood, dusting off his hands.

“I have to say, I am surprised that you counted a reaper amongst your acquaintances, Solomon.” Satan sighed, dusting off a stray mark from where Solomon’s chalk had snapped.

“Yeah, aren’t reapers known to like...keep to themselves?” Levi added, “I hear they’re pretty anti-social...”

“Oh! Oh! Solomon! This reaper friend of yours...are they hot?” Asmo giggled, leaning obnoxiously far over him as he continued marking the ground.

Solomon chuckled. “Hmm. Good question. I suppose you should just see for yourself, right?”

“Aww, no fair! I want to meet the hot reaper!” Sarah pouted, stamping her foot in annoyance.

Barbatos clicked his tongue in annoyance before whaping her across the nape of her neck with a wooden spoon. Sarah yelped, glaring toward the butler in annoyance.

“Fucking OW!” Sarah whined, now sweeping faster for fear of being struck again.

“Come on, Solomon. At least give me a little taste of what to expect!” Asmo begged, tugging on his coat.

“Well, I wouldn’t say this reaper looks like an antisocial loner, but I suppose they do sort of fit that description.” Solomon shrugged. “Though I suppose their appearance is a matter of taste, really. I find them quite attractive, though I’ve really only seen them looking quite angry.”

“Wait, I thought you said this reaper was your friend...” Heart glanced uneasily toward Asmo.

“I’d like to think we are.”

“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” Vivi raised an eyebrow in irritation.

“...Well...” Solomon chuckled nervously, “...I just don’t know if the feeling is mutual.”

Storm swallowed hard, shifting her weight between her feet. Lucifer looked on, feeling bad that she didn’t have Malice at her side. Beel’s reassuring squeeze of her hand seemed to calm her down slightly though, which eased his guilt.

“Alright, finished.” Solomon turned to the brothers and Storm. “Now, this reaper isn’t exactly the friendly type, so it’s possible we may be accused of trespassing.”

“Wha- why are you smiling!? That doesn’t seem like the sort of thing to smile about!” Levi shook his head, scooting his way anxiously toward Heart to mimic Storm’s act of receiving comfort. He gripped Heart’s entire arm tightly, accidentally yanking them toward him.

Ignoring Levi’s anxiety, Solomon began his incantation. A strong wind began to circle the sigil he had drawn on the ground as everyone stepped inside of it.

“I am the magician Solomon, Heed my words! Open the way forward, creating a path where there was none!”

“Wait, Solomon! Whaddaya mean we’ll be accused of trespassing!” Mammon shouted over the wind as it picked up speed, causing everyones hair to whip back and forth.

Again, ignoring the brothers, Solomon continued: “Show us the way to the reaper’s cave!”

A bright white light blinded everyone in the circle before the group disappeared from the castle ballroom, leaving only trails of chalk dust and stands of Storm’s vibrant red hair in their wake.

Barbatos sighed, glad the chaos that was caused by the brothers was now finally over. He turned his attention back to the other two humans, only to be caught completely off guard by the brooms laying haphazardly amongst the broken glass and bits of food strewn about the floor. He snapped his eyes up to Simeon, his eyelid twitching in annoyance.

“They asked me not to say anything.” Simeon chuckled. “Don’t worry, we’ll get this place cleaned up.”

“You’d better.” Barbatos hissed, now turning his attention back to Diavolo.

Luke groaned in frustration. “Simeon! We have to do this all ourselves?!”

Simeon merely smiled, returning his focus to sweeping. He hummed as Luke groaned again, louder this time.

“G’AAAHHHH!” Mammon yelped, collapsing onto the ground first. Most of the rest of the group fell from the portal that opened a fair distance above the ground in a plethora of screams and yelps. Each landed clumsily around Mammon, who slowly tried to get back up to his feet.

Storm had tried her best to land gracefully, but the amount of others cascading down out of the portal ended up throwing off her rhythm. Fern grabbed her ankle as they fell through after her, causing her to land directly on top of Mammon.

“G’URGH!” He spat out as Storm’s weight sent him flat onto his back. “H-hey! Get Offa’ me!”

“Fuck, sorry!” Storm scrambled off of him quickly before helping him up and dusting off his jacket. “Are you okay, Mams?”

“Acgh...No! What’re ya thinkin’, Red?!” He groaned, clutching his abdomen. “Seriously, how’d ya manage to land knee-first on my stomach!? I’m gonna end up dead before I even have the chance to meet the reaper at this rate!”

Storm shifted anxiously. “I-I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to-”

“Solomon, why the fuck did you put the portal so high!” Fern groaned, stretching out their back from the painful landing they had. Unfortunately for them, a very angry Vivi had been their cushion as they fell to the ground.

“Fern, I’m gonna fucking kill you.” Vivi growled as Satan tried to help her to her feet.

"Hup!” Solomon brushed off his cape as he landed on the ground perfectly. “I couldn’t ask for a better landing!”

Lucifer was the last to Land from the portal, surprised to see how many of the individuals had not learned that portals can be tricky to maneuver through. What also caught his attention was three extra humans who shouldn’t be here. 

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Lucifer pinched the bridge of his nose, the pounding in his head only worsening from the fact that this trip was clearly shaping up to be worse than he anticipated.

“I forgot to mention that you should watch where you land whenever you transport somewhere.” Solomon chuckled, helping a few of the others to their feet.

“T-thanks for the tip.” Heart groaned as Levi finally rolled off of him.

“It’s a little late to be warning us NOW!” Levi whined, rubbing his lower back with a wince.

“Hey...Solomon..?” Asmo whimpered nervously. Solomon and the others who now stood turned to him as he pointed at a message scrawled above the entrance to the cave.

“Is...Is that blood?!” Sarah shrieked, immediately hiding behind Vivi for protection. Vivi hissed, pushing Sarah away aggressively and scooting closer toward Satan.

“Attention Solomon, you damned pest of a magician...” Satan cocked his head trying to read the messy chicken scratch. “Just TRY sneaking into my cave while I’m gone, and I promise I’ll make you pay. I’ll take your candle and trample it, boil it, and chop it into a million pieces. Then your soul will be MINE, you bone-headed fool!”

“Ahaha! You have to admit, that’s pretty funny!” Solomon laughed as the others glanced amongst each other in confusion.

“Uh, no...That’s definitely not what I’d call funny.” Levi shook his head. “Anyway, if this reaper wrote a nasty message specifically directed at you, then...”

“Solomon...what did you do?” Storm scratched her forearm nervously.

“Hmm...nothing I can think of off-hand.” Solomon tapped his chin for a moment before eventually shrugging. “Anyways, lets head in!”

“Whoa, hold on a second!” Mammon spread out his arms, blocking Solomon’s way. “You see a message like that and you’re just gonna ignore it? Are ya crazy!?”

“Well, the reaper’s not here, right?” Belphie shrugged. “So that means we can go in, find Beel’s candle, and leave. Easy.”

“Oh, wait! I almost forgot.” Solomon grabbed Belphie’s sleeve, signaling for the others to pause. “There’s something else you all should know. Here in the reaper’s cave, there are certain rules that must be followed. Otherwise, you may end up dead before you even make it to the candles.”

“What?!” Mammon shrieked, feeling a shiver run up his spine.

Storm bit her lip to keep it from trembling, now digging her nails deep into her skin. She felt so much anxiety rise at the idea of another one of her close friends- or rather, family- falling victim to the reapers wrath. Perhaps she made a mistake in insisting they all come with. The anxiety coursing through her veins caused her breath to pick up, almost causing her to dry-heave. Beel watched as she desperately tried to hide he growing panic from the others.

“Storm.” Lucifer placed a hand gently on her back, murmuring to her quietly. “It’ll be alright, just relax.”

She whipped her gaze up to him. The soft look in Lucifer’s eyes and the tickle of his thumb rubbing against her shoulder blade allowed her to calm down ever-so slightly. She took a deep breath as Lucifer turned his attention back toward Solomon.

“What are the rules, then?”

“Yeah, and if we don’t follow ‘em..? I mean, c’mon, ya gotta be exaggeratin’ right?” Mammon added.

“I wish I were, but no.” Solomon crossed his arms. “Now listen up. The reaper’s cave consists of 5 levels, each one deeper than before. And each level has its own specific rule, which the reaper has determined. If you break a rule, you get punished.”

“Sounds soo dangerous.” Vivi rolled their eyes, their tone dripping with sarcasm. “So, then we follow the rules. What’s so hard about that?”

“The rules here are absolute. You have to obey them, no exceptions.” Solomon raised a brow toward Vivi, who still looked disinterested. “So before we go in, you all have to agree to follow the rules exactly.”

“Wait. I don’t want to put Storm and the other humans in a dangerous situation like this...” Beel glanced uncertainly toward where Storm stood at Lucifer’s side, feeling unnerved by the fact that she had panicked before even stepping foot in the cave. “Maybe you should take her and the others home.”

“We’re not leaving.” Belphie shook his head.

“But-”

“I’ll be fine.” Storm breathed deeply, catching Beel’s eye. “I have you all here with me. I’ll...I’ll be okay.”

“Exactly!” Asmo beamed. “Besides, Storm isn’t an ordinary human. She’s got enough power to subdue all of us just by yelling “sit” and “stay,” right?!”

Lucifer tightened his hold on her back. “That is correct, yes. And the other humans here can follow her lead just as easily. So we’ll be fine. Solomon, lead the way.”

“I see...” He smiled, but beneath it showed uncertainty. “It’s good to see such glowing support amongst friends-”

“Family.” Beel corrected, moving to stand beside Storm and grabbing her hand.

“Yes...Family.” Solomon swallowed hard. “Well then, alright. Ready to get going?”

The group nodded amongst themselves, straightening their posture to follow Solomon into the cave. Solomon’s demeanor changed as he turned to face the cave.

“Alright! Lets face the reapers’ challenge!” He chuckled to himself, a slight bounce in his step as he eagerly entered the dark cavern.

“...He sounds like a child at an amusement park.” Lucifer mumbled, shaking his head and beginning to follow the group into the cave.

“You took the words right out of my mouth.” Asmo sighed, taking Heart’s hand in his.

Summer Rewatch

I don’t know about anyone else, but I have shows I just rewatch every summer for like the past almost ten years I think. Idky, but they just make me happy and represent some really good television.

Young Justice

The show managed to un cancel itself after 6 years because we fans wanted it back so bad. Why? Because it’s so good! Great twists, best OG team, snark, epic fights, moles and more. I love it, I always will.

Justice League

Another show that managed to get its own semi spinoff with Unlimited though I just consider it a season 3/4. Anyway, like above, it really cements what the Justice League is about with its epic fights, other worlds and unique roster of heroes. Plus such good epsidoes from This Little Piggy to Starcrossed in a lot of different genres.

Avatar the Last Airbender

As I’m sure everyone has realized after the Netflix resurgence, Atla sets quite a bar as it delves into tough topics like genocide, and familial trauma, utilizes Asian influences respectful, amazing bending battles, beautiful animation and all with a lot of heart.

Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?

The theme song alone is a banger. I think it’s the perfect combo of edutainment teaching about various subjects from history, art, music and more with a compelling anti hero in Carmen Sandiego. Plus it has really some heartwarming moments between her and the MC, Ivy and Zack.

Liberty’s Kids

If you want to give a pretty good view of colonial/Revolutionary War, this is wonderful. I mean seriously not only goes into the founding fathers and battles and those historic dates. It also highlights lesser known figures like Phyllis Wheatley, Hamilton (long before the musical) the Hessians, anti semitism, Native genocide and others I’m forgetting for the moment, but seriously so cool. Also encouraged my first ship with James and Sarah. Also the song is still so impactful to today. I see a land with liberty for all Yet still I know the truth will rise and fall That's just the way it goes A word now to the wise The world was made to change Each day is a surprise I'm Lookin' at life through my own eyes Searchin' for a hero to idolize Feeling the pain as innocence dies I'm looking at life through my own eyes I'm hoping and praying for a brighter day I listen to my heart and I obey How can I see it any other way? I'm looking at life (looking at life) Through my own eyes

DC Superhero Girls

Not my fav as the others, but I do enjoy the zany fun of it and it’s interpretation of all these famous dc characters in a literal high school au. Also the Zatanna episodes are my favorites so far.

Honorary mention: Archie's Weird Mysteries. I love Archie so this should be no surprise and I so enjoyed his adventures even if it was a bit narmy at times.

[etcrow]

Huge Spoiler tho I think a lot already knows this-

⚠️PLEASE SKIP IF YA' DON'T WANT SPOILERS ⚠️

So I just found out about Maddi,

and I am proud to say that I HATE HER WITH EVERY CM OF MY BODY(which is a lot since im 6'5)

Why.. just why did she do those?

I hope she dies in a painful way😔

Like I dunno Dia/Luci/Satan killing her.

That'd be so painful 😃

How about you?

Your opinion(s) on Maddi?

Wait no if she dies she'll end up in Hell A.K.A Devildom.

Then I hope she gets tortured 😌

I somehow forgotten about Maddie, omg.

Yeah, I didn't read the story but from what I read from the wiki, she is a total pain in the butt.

I mean she traumatized Mammon so much, he stopped talking about money, wth?

And also, the marriage part is "funny" Cause my MC [I have a lot of them, yeah] Theo would've run to the wedding yelling NOT TODAY DIA IS MY PRECIOUS BOYFRIEND and run away with him over the rainbow

And I dunno about tortures... Some people like it *kinky moment* lolololololol

Don't understand why witches must be like that in obey me.

I remember Lady Rose or what her name was, friend of Diavolo, and she was amazing. I liked her a lot.

Also, I have questions about Sarah. Do you know something about her? I don't know where I could find info about her.

[henry-and-the-seven-lords]

Hey Meg remember in obey me they did that play in one of the lessons. (you know the one where there's princess Diablo)

if they get to do an other play, what would the Bro's recommend doing?

I actually just got to that lesson! It's also funny that you ask this. Back in high school I would go to the local play competition with my school (never won, but I did get to direct one year). I am also in love with plays... even more than musicals. I think they are way more immersive than a musical or movie could ever be.

I picked most of these off the top of my head, or by looking through plays that other schools in my area did for the competition. I can't say that I have seen them all but the summaries sounded pretty good.

Well... that's enough of my ramblings so let's go!

Warnings: Asmo's mentions NSFW stuff

Navigation List

The Plays Each of the Brothers Would Pick

💙 Lucifer -

Hamlet by Shakespeare

Summary: A tragedy with ghosts, death, betrayal, and sword fights!

People have often called this one of the best plays. Of course he would pick this!

Also it is serious, has a good amount of drama, eloquent. It matches him perfectly.

He definitely wants to be Hamlet and have Diavolo be his uncle.

💛 Mammon -

A Tale of Two Spectators by Peter Manos

Summary: Two people watching their spouses have affairs together and they fall in love.

There are only 2 people in the cast. Guess who it would be?

Him and MC.

He wants his time to shine with them.

🧡 Leviathan -

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Rober Louis Stevenson

Summary: A man drinks a potion that splits his personality into good and evil and they share the same body.

He wany to be Dr. Jekyll.

He likes the dichotomy of good and evil. It reminds him of himself when he plays games vs. When he is shy.

(I could also see him doing some cyberpunk or anime rendition of a classic play like Romeo and Juliet)

💚 Satan -

An Evening with Edgar Allan Poe by Robert Mason

Summary: A retelling of 5 of Egar Allen Poe's best works. (Telltale heart, cask of amontiallado, etc.)

He likes classic literature, what can he say.

Also, Poe's literature can let his suppressed rage through in insanity! :D

(Could also see him picking one of Shakespeare's comedies to piss off Lucifer)

💖 Asmodeus -

Orlando by Sarah Ruhl

Summary: A young boy begins a 5 century journey where they discover themselves.

Orlando is quite promiscuous... so it matches with Asmo!

There are also a lot of elaborate costume changes which he would love.

And MC can be one of his many lovers ;)

❤ Beelzebub -

The Girl Who Swallowed a Cactus by Eric Coble

Summary: A girl and her friends find themselves in a desert and use their imagination to talk about how people affect the environment.

He liked the title because he has had that problem before.

But once he actually reads it, he like the adventure that the main characters have.

💜 Belphegor -

A Midsummer's Night Dream by Shakespeare

Summary: A fairy dabbles in fixing human affairs and mixes up two pairs of lovers.

He picked this play for 2 reasons and 2 reasons only.

As one of the lovers he can sleep for half of the play next to MC.

Lucifer said it was the stupidest play he has ever read.

Doesn't care which pair of lovers he is, he just thinks Asmo should be the ass.

😂 What’s the funniest comment someone has left on a fic of yours?

The first one that sticks out to me is when I wrote someone what was basically a soft make-up piece and they said that one of the things I wrote got to them, "like in a dick hard heart soft way, yknow?" and I cannot stop thinking about it LOL

☕ Do you drink anything when you write? Coffee, tea, alcohol, etc?

No, not on purpose. I dont have a writing time in my head, I just do it whenever I can or when I'm bored in class, but I try to have water near me. I suck at drinking water though so I never really end up drinking any of it xp

🏅 What is the fic you’re most proud of?

UH. HM. I don't know! For Obey Me!, I'd probably say Things My Heart Used to Know or You Burned So Brightly. I think the first one is a cool concept and y'all KNOW how much I love talking about Solomon's memories and the second one....I just love that au. I think it was such a good idea lol.

However, the first fics that came to mind were ACTUALLY My Dear Adeptus (Genshin Imoact, zhongxiao) and on était tellement complices, on a brisé nos complexes (Vanitas no Carte, Vaninoe) in terms of quality

💕 What is the WIP that you are most excited about?

UGH ok the one I'm most excited for is a ship I made up for Genshin that I dont wanna say publicly just yet because I want to see how it finds on its own BUT! The OM! idea I want to get back to (if my brain can ever focus on these boys again which it probably will eventually) is an AU where MC was Solomon's apprentice before the program happened. It was only supposed to be a fun Season 1 rewrite but now its a whole thing with like. Three acts and a secret society-esque element and motifs and themes and like. A storyline about self discover, fixed destiny vs one you can choose, the bias of love, forgiveness (not sure if these will come across WELL but hopefully I can sandwich them in there) and its a whole thing but! I'm slowly chipping away at it in private so I can publish without worrying about losing interest and leaving people hanging lol. That's all I wanna say about that though!! 🤫

Genre: Mixed WC: ~3k CW: skin-picking/scratching, blood mention, heavy tension and anxiety, swearing, Storm has a stutter but I am not depicting it with written word consistently, prolly lots of typos lol, spoilers for season 1&2, I'm skipping over/changing some things I didn't like in the main story so it will be a bit different from canon!

Storm paced around the common room, panic rippling through her core. Thoughts of blame and the worst possible outcomes for Lucifer's condition raced through Storm's head incessantly, pointing the finger at her for neglecting to care for the eldest when he clearly needed it. Her steps were rapid, carving the same path in the floor with Malice nipping at the hem of her coat, trying to get her to relax. The skin of her arms was streaked pink from her long nails raking canyons into them in an attempt to sooth the thoughts that replayed endlessly on loop. However, the actions seemed to have little to no effect on the endless noise rumbling like thunder through her head.

After Lucifer had passed out, Solomon gathered the royals to assess the situation. Storm had helped Beel and Mammon carry Lucifer to his bed, casting some pain relieving spells to aid in the clear discomfort that was twisted onto the expression on his face. After the royals arrived, Diavolo demanded that everyone else remain in the common area until they ensured Lucifer's condition was stable, shutting him away in his bedroom from everyone else. Solomon was instructed to altert the angels and bring them to the House of Lamentation to aid in any healing that was required, and few words were spared to the rest of the group. The only thing other than firm instruction Diavolo had given them was a brief apology, followed by a promise to explain things later.

The others shared worried glances between each other as Storm nervously paced. Her clear panic was not aiding in reducing the anxiety each of them felt, and all held deep uncertainty as to what was to occur next. The wait was excruciating, even those who claimed Lucifer as their enemy. The longer the royals and Solomon took to assess Lucifer's condition, the more anxiety festered in the room. The air hung thick around them, and little could be said to ease the shared discomfort amongst everyone in attendance.

"He's gotta wake up...he's just gotta..." Mammon mumbled to himself. He bounced his leg rapidly, and smoothed over the hairs on the back of his neck to try to qualm his nerves.

"I've don't think I've ever seen anything like this happen to Lucifer before..." Levi chewed the inside of his cheek, shifting his glances between Storm, Mammon, and the door.

"No! Not ever!" Asmo whined, clutching Heart's hand as tight as he could to prevent more tears from spilling from his eyes. "Even during the celestial war. He was shot with so many arrows and took so many blows...But he was still standing afterwards. What if...what if he's super sick? Or maybe he's dying?!"

"Asmo, please...You have to calm down." Heart pleaded sadly, pulling the 5th born into a tight embrace. Asmo whimpered into their neck, flinging their arms around them tightly.

"I just don't know what we'll do without him..." Asmo muttered, nuzzling further into Heart's body.

Satan swallowed hard, trying to hide his fear behind the book he was reading- or rather, pretending to read. "...Come on, guys...This is Lucifer we're talking about...He...I'm sure he'll be okay."

Vivi glanced up from the other side of the room, furrowing her brow. She shifted her weight to her other foot, leaning back against the wall to try to feign indifference. Though, even her act was slipping. It was very unlike Satan to sound so worried and uncertain...especially when it had anything to do with the eldest brother. Seeing someone who seemed to despise him the most- even going so far as to try to mess with his life-essence- be concerned about him made their skin crawl.

Storm's clear concern also didn't help her to wash her hands of the worry, as they had become very bonded to her over the past month or two since her arrival. She wasn't sure when Lucifer had snaked his way into her emotions, but he was certainly there now, and Vivi had a feeling that part of it had to do with Storm's fondness of the eldest brother. She didn't like Lucifer- that much was true- but she felt care for him almost like one would with an annoying older sibling.

"Yeah...Lucifer's tough..." Beel commented, trying to lift the spirits of the room. The others glanced uneasily toward him before returning their eyes to anywhere else in the room.

"Sure, but he ain't invincible." Mammon retorted, continuing his restless movements.

Beel sighed, watching Storm's movements become more panicked with each passing second. He approached her, stretching his arms out in an attempt to hug her, and to calm her nerves. "Diavolo and Barbatos know what they're doing...He'll be alright."

Storm shook her head wildly, effortlessly dodging Beels hug. Her breathing was rapid, and she rapidly choked out the words that lay just beyond her tongue. Her stutter was even more obviously present than any of them had ever heard from her before:

"B-but wh-what if he's-he's-he's not?! He could d-die, or-or-or be in a coma! T-this is all my f-fault. He-He's been having all the-these headaches, they've o-only gotten wor-wor-worse. If I'd only...If I'd have...Gah! It's all my fault...I...I should have...M-made him rest...Or-or paid more att-attention to him...or s-something...B-but I didn't...and...and...and..." She paused, trying to take a deep breath to get the words spilling past her lips under control.

Beelzebub frowned, now completely uncertain of how to calm Storm down. He turned toward Belphie for help with what to say.

"He always gets headache's, Storm." Belphegor murmured, shrugging to try to play off Storm's fears. "Of course we didn't think much of it. "

"Plus he's always just grumpy and annoyed. This didn't really seem that much different." Sarah added. "How were you supposed to know any better?"

"B-but I knew bet-bet-better!" Storm shouted, the panic bursting from her eyes in tears. She finally stopped her pacing when Beel finally forced her into a tight hug, allowing her to cry into his chest. He squeezed her tightly, feeling the urge to cry himself at how guilty she seemed to feel for Lucifer's sudden illness.

"It's not your fault, Stormy." Beel whispered, placing a delicate kiss on her hairline. She merely shook her head, clearly not convinced she wasn't at fault for what had happened to him. He sighed, not understanding why she was taking responsibility for something that clearly had to have been just a weird happenstance.

"Beel's right." Fern shook their head, joining their hug. They felt their heart ache for how much responsibility Storm was putting on herself. It wasn't like they completely didn't understand, but it was hard for them to conceptualize why Lucifer meant so much to her. "None of this is your fault. Maybe...it was the reaper who did this?"

"Do...Do you really think they'd be able to do that..?" Levi stammered, biting the inside of his cheek to the point where it began to bleed. "I guess we did bust into the cave...but Lucifer didn't break any of the rules!"

Before anyone could offer their input, a portal opened on the other side of the room. Through it stumbled Simeon, followed by Luke falling flat on his face. Shortly after, a poised and proper Solomon stepped through and whisked the portal away.

"Careful, Luke." Simeon smiled, helping the small angel upright.

"I'm fine!" Luke grumbled, shaking off Simeon's caring hands.

"Any updates on Lucifer's condition?" Solomon asked pointedly, glancing amongst the worried faces in the room. His gaze paused on Storm's forlorn expression, and he felt his heart twist in pity. Clearly she wasn't handling this well.

After finally tearing his eyes off of her, he looked expectantly to the rest of the room. a few of the brothers shook their heads dejectedly. Solomon sighed, muttering curses under his breath. He gestured to the angels, directing their gazes away from Storm as well. "both of you, follow me." Within seconds, Solomon, Simeon, and Luke quickly through the doors of the common room, leaving the others alone with the thick tension in the air.

Minutes turned into hours as the others sat in waiting, each trying to take their mind off of the happenings with petty distractions. Asmo attempted to twist some braids into Storm's hair, but her constant rocking, tremors, and fidgeting made the braid hard to do. Vivi and Satan took multiple walks around the courtyard, trying to coax some of the cats inside. Belphie and Fern attempted to nap, while Sarah tried getting them to all watch funny Fabsnap videos with her. Heart and Mammon tried scrolling through Devilgram, but only ended up dissociating after absorbing a few posts.

After what felt like at least 2 hours, The doors to the common room slowly creaked open. Storm and Mammon immediately leaped to their feet, eyes wide with concern. The others snapped their attention up as Diavolo, Barbatos, Solomon, and Simeon re-entered the common room. Each wore an intense frown, and the news they would be bringing to the group did not look promising.

"Is...Is Lucifer okay?" Mammon asked nervously, looking between their faces for some hopeful answer.

"He's resting." Barbatos nodded, glancing to Diavolo. He gestured with his eyes for him to speak, but the Demon lord said nothing.

"He appears as if he's going to be okay...but..." Simeon sighed, "there's no way to tell for certain. Luke is keeping watch over him now."

Diavolo squeezed his eyes shut for a moment before addressing the entire room. "I deeply apologize- to all of you. This is all my fault."

Furrowed brows and muttered confusion erupted from everyone in the room.

"What do you mean? How is it your fault?" Belphie asked pointedly. He was uncertain of the meaning behind Diavolo's tone. Either he was just blaming himself, like Storm was, or he actually held some responsibility for their brother's current state.

Diavolo let out a long sigh before turning his attention to Storm. "I should have told you all about this sooner. Perhaps then we could have figured out a solution before-"

"Told us what?" Vivi narrowed her eyes, stepping protectively in Storm's direction. "What are you hiding?!"

"What's going on?" Asmo added, anger shaking behind his voice.

Diavolo pulled up a spare dining chair, raking a hand through his auburn hair. He was quite for a few minutes, seemingly thinking over what he was going to say. "Recently... strange phenomena have been taking place here in the Devildom....Very rare phenomena...or rather, not so much 'rare' as 'unprecedented.'"

"Can you rephrase that in English?" Fern groaned. "I have no idea what the hell you're trying to say, dude!"

Barbatos' eye twitched in annoyance at the disrespectful tone used by Fern, but still answered their question. "Bizarre occurrences, such as the collapsing of the royal tomb, an enormous hole opening in the forest, and more began shortly after Storm left initially, right before we began the second round of the exchange program."

"Even before any of that happened, I could tell something just...wasn't right." Diavolo added, shaking his head. "I sensed something exerting a very powerful influence on this world, you see. Something more powerful than even myself or Lucifer."

Everyone glanced at each other. Each felt a wave of fear wash over them, but still were uncertain as to what the royals were getting at.

"So...someone or something is attacking the Devildom?" Sarah guessed, awaiting someone to confirm her suspicion.

"That sounds like the plot of a game. You really think something could be strong enough to do that?" Levi picked at his cuticles, trying to get a read on Diavolo's expression.

"Or stupid enough." Vivi added, rolling her eyes.

"So Solomon came back to help out with...all this...'n dragged Storm along with him?" Mammon shook his head in annoyance. "What gives, Solomon? Since when d'ya care so much about the Devildom? 'N why d'ya have the nerve to put Storm in danger if ya knew this thing was happenin'?"

"Yeah, you have to have some other reason for coming back..." Belphie glared at him suspiciously.

"You may not realize it, Mammon, but I've grown quite attached to the Devildom, just as Storm has." Solomon glanced to Storm, but quickly averted his eyes with a sigh. "Though, Belphegor is right. I do have another reason for being involved in this, and for involving Storm."

"It wasn't just the Devildom experiencing weird events." Simeon stated. "The celestial realm has been amidst the worst drought in their entire existence, and the human world began experiencing very extreme earthly disasters recently."

"Ancient forests withering, clusters of earthquakes, volcanoes that have been dormant for thousands of years erupting beneath the ocean..." Solomon shook his head with an intense frown. "In every case, these events happened in places related to the Devildom and Celestial realm in some way."

"So...that was why Michael was away when I came to visit you?" Storm swallowed hard as Simeon nodded sadly.

"Michael, Solomon, Barbatos, and myself all felt the same sensation." Diavolo noted, glancing to Storm. All eyes followed Diavolo's path, and there was a moment of silence as the room began developing more confusion on why the small, frail redhead was the center of attention now.

"Okay but what does this have to do with Storm?" Fern gave an exaggerated gesture in confusion. "Like, why get her involved in this mess? What can she do about it??"

"Well...Solomon had a certain...hypothesis about what may be going on." Diavolo paused, glancing away from Storm's direction. "He brought Storm here to verify whether it was correct."

"huh?" Storm blinked, her heart sinking in her chest. She glanced to Solomon, who gave a weak smile in response. "I thought...I thought you brought me back here because everyone wanted to see me..."

"Well, that assertion wasn't necessarily wrong..." Solomon tried to give a teasing laugh, but was met with more tears of hurt threatening to spill from Storm's eyes. His weak smile dropped, and he rubbed his neck nervously. "...but couldn't just outright tell you what was happening. I needed to prove it first. And...well...At first it was just a theory, but-"

"And what was that?" Vivi stood, their eyes narrowing. They crossed their arms over their chest and quickly paced to Storm's side.

Satan mimicked their movements, following close on their heels. "Are you suggesting that Storm is somehow causing all of this to happen? That's absurd!"

"Well...I..." Diavolo sighed again, closing his eyes. The others stared at him expectantly, all eyes widening when he eventually nodded. "...Yes. I'll come right out and say that we believe Storm is the cause behind all of these odd occurrences."

The room fell silent, spare for a few gasps and muttered "what the fuck"s. For a moment, the others waited for Diavolo to say he was kidding, but when he merely stared at Storm, the room began to grow tense once more. Storm's hands shook violently in her lap as she tried to control her breaths. Malice was already practically on top of her, and whined incessantly about not being able to provide his human comfort.

"What are you...What are you talking about?" Beel swallowed, wrapping an arm around Storm and pulling her into his side. "How could she be responsible for any of that?!"

"Yeah, that's batshit crazy!" Fern shook their head, anger building in their chest. "Look at her, dammit! She wouldn't even hurt a fly!"

"There's just no way!" Sarah added, shaking her head wildly.

"Well, that's what we thought at first too." Solomon shrugged with a deep breath. "But the longer we've been here, the more certain I've become."

"I...I don't..." Storm shook her head, refusing to look at anyone else. Instead, her gaze was transfixed on a tile on the floor between where Solomon and Diavolo stood. "I don't un-un-understand..."

Simeon frowned, approaching her and kneeling at her side. He rubbed her shoulder gently.

"I know it's hard to comprehend all at once, Storm..." Diavolo shook his head. "But-"

Before anything more could be said, the common room doors slammed open. Everyone jumped, jerking their attention to the small angel who stood between the huge double doors. Luke was completely out of breath as he wheezed out the words: "Everyone, come quick! Lucifer's awake!"

It took a moment for everyone to process Luke's words. The first one to move was Storm, who quickly wiggled out from Beel and Malice's hold and threw herself toward the doors. She stumbled up the stairs, running as fast as her body would carry her. Her heart pounded in her chest as the adrenaline carried her through the winding hall, the others calling for her to slow down not far behind.

She slid to a stop on the rug in the hall after reaching Lucifer's room, falling over in the process. Hoisting herself up with the door frame, she pulled herself into the room, locking gazes with a very doe-eyed Lucifer. She breathed heavily, but couldn't find the words to say to him. They merely stared at each other. Though...something didn't quite feel right about the expression on Lucifer's face. It was as if he was taking in her form for the first time, seemingly absorbing every one of her features in awe.

"Lucifer!" Diavolo boomed, bursting into the room shortly after Storm. Lucifer turned his gaze to Diavolo, and then the others as they piled into the room and began talking loudly. The same doe-eyed expression passed over each of the individuals as they began talking up a storm.

"He-he's really awake!" Beel sighed in relief. "Thank goodness he's awake!"

"Lucifer!! Oh, Luciferrrrr!" Asmo shrieked, almost tackling him in a hug. Lucifer scowled, pushing Asmo off harshly. "I'm so glad you're not dead!"

"pft, I knew he'd be fine." Mammon let out a nervous laugh, walking up to Lucifer and slapping him hard on the back, earning a confused glare from the eldest brother. "He prolly just needed a nap! No biggie. Y'all lost your heads over nothin'!"

"We lost our heads?" Heart raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, you were more freaked out than anyone. Except maybe Storm." Levi scoffed.

"W-whaat?! I dunno what you're talkin' about! You must be thinkin' of a different Mammon..." Mammon shrugged and crossed his arms, causing Vivi, Fern, Sarah, and Heart to roll their eyes at once.

"If there was more than one of you, there'd be no money left in the Devildom by now." Satan commented sarcastically.

"Wh-whoa...I dunno what to say, Satan. Like...next time warn me before given out compliments like that! You're embarrassin' me here!" Mammon smirked.

"Uh. Mammon..." Heart pinched the bridge of their nose. "That wasn't a compliment."

Lucifer continued looking amongst the group as they squawked back and forth until his eyes eventually fell back onto Storm. He continued to stare at her, but his expression seemed to soften slightly when he met her eyes. She cautiously approached him, anxiety filling her stomach once more as he continued staring at her quietly.

"Um...are you okay..?" she asked sheepishly, gently pushing messy strands of hair out of his face. "We...we were worried about you, you know..?"

Lucifer blinked, cocking his head to the side slightly.

"Uh...Guys..." Belphie punched Mammon in the arm to get him to be quiet. "Is it just me...or does Lucifer seem kind of...off?"

"Hey, say somethin' ya wiener!" Fern screeched causing Lucifer to jerk back. His expression to change into full blown confusion. Everyone stared at him expectantly, an anxious energy beginning to fill the gaps in space in the room.

Storm swallowed hard, cupping his cheek. "Lu-Lucifer?"

He snapped his attention to her, blinking twice. He parted his lips slightly, before shaking his head and closing his mouth again. Her hands began trembling violently once more, the soft patting of her palm against his face causing Lucifer to push her hand away in annoyance.

"Who are you people, and why are you all staring at me?"

[propshophannah]

Hey so I finished CC and am thinking about how Maas has changed love interests for her mc before, but I really like Hunt and Bryce. A lot. Hunt is very different from any character we've seen from Maas, and he's just so fucking good. Idk, thoughts?

Oh man Nonnie. I’ve only read through the book once, but I don’t currently think Hunt is endgame. AT LEAST NOT YET. (Oh heeeeey Aidas!)

Their relationship was great but there was a LOT of baggage and life experiences that Hunt missed out on, so I can’t imagine he’s normal after being freed. Like. He’s always existed for a cause or because he had to exist for a cause. (Idk if that makes sense?) But now it’s like he has been newly discharged from the military. Taking orders are all he knows how to do. Now he has to make decisions for himself. And idk if you know anyone who gets out of the military after doing that kind of structured “obey orders” kind of job for so long, but it can be rough.

And I know he was a slave, but the same idea applies. Someone told him when to wake up, what to eat, where to go, what time to be there, and what to do. He hasn’t made his own decisions since BEFORE his dead lover was around. (And that relationship didn’t sound healthy to me.)

ON TOP OF THAT, Hunt fucking threw his friends under the bus when he got caught by Bryce and Micah. (Can we argue that they’re not his real friends? Sure. Go for it. But he trusted them enough to plot against Micah.) Sarah J Maas VALUES THE EVER LOVING SHIT out of friendships. She did not just throw that scene into the book for no reason.

And she did not leave out a sex scene for no reason either.

Now. Where I WAIVERED on this was toward the end when Hunt CLEARLY had a dramatic “shift” of SOME KIND. Now, again, I’ve only read the book once, so this opinion could TOTALLY change. But there was a moment when it felt like Hunt honestly loved Bryce. And cared for her. But intertwined in that was a sense of unchecked/runaway devotion. And THAT struck me. Because that’s not healthy. And that’s what he spent a lot of time explaining to us he did in the past with his first lover (even though he didn’t seem to see it that way). So. I’m torn.

On one hand I want them to have lots of therapy and growth and to probably spend some time apart so that Hunt can discover who he is OUTSIDE of following someone/a cause. (Bryce kind of became his “cause” at the end a little bit to me. He was suddenly super devoted to her and got blown up. That can be a decision an act of love, sure. But it can also be a decision made out of a lot old festering wounds you don’t realize you have.) I think if they’re going to work out, then Hunt has a journey of self discovery ahead of him. And that kind of journey you have to have space to do alone. Whether that’s a break up or just travel time alone—idk. I just don’t think he has an identity outside of taking orders and being Mr. Lightning for someone else. And that means he’s likely in the near future going to start to feel inferior or worthless or not whatever, and he’s going to take that out in someone else. (If he doesn’t get help.)

Also. Very early on in the book, when the princes of hell were randomly mentioned, I said to myself “LOL if one of those princes ever shows up on page, then it’s anyone’s game.” Then Aidas showed up. And then we found out that he and Bryce have an odd history that has resulted in her feeling he’s trustworthy to some extent. And then he showed up again at the end. So IDK.

Another thing. I can’t get over how Hunt acted when Bryce confronted him on the boat. He spent a lot of time lying to her before that moment. You can certainly change in a few days and I’m not saying he didn’t love her. But his love for her didn’t outweigh his need to find a way to be free. AND IT SHOULDNT. But when you love someone and you want to be with them, you consider their feelings and how your actions effect them. Hunt realized too late that he didn’t do that (and he kinda course corrected to an extreme at the end). And lying to her by omission was not love. That was selfishness. All he had to do was tell Bryce what he knew, let her process it, then they could have planned to get a hold of the Synth and try it or not try it. OR ASK HYPAXIA WHO HAS CLEARLY BEEN PLANNING A REBELLION OR SOMETHING WITH THARION FOR A WHILE NOW. I mean Hypaxia STRAIGHT UP let them both know she could get rid of his dark mark. WHY DIDNT he try to exhaust that potential avenue?

(And as I type this I’m reminded that what Aidas said about Hunts halo sent my spidey senses tingling. If hunt and Bryce are endgame I wonder if there will be a journey that has to do with that “mark” thing he said. I need to reread.)

So yeah. Those are my current thoughts. Sorry they’re kind of jumbled and crazy. Haha.

Its 3:30 am but my heart rate is SPEEDIN cause i just woke up from a dream where the devs dropped an animated trailer for an upcoming chapter and there was one shot with a female character and everyone was frantically trying to figure out who she was. Is this supposed to be a generic MC? If so why would they choose to make them look like that after carefully keeping MC gender neutral for the majority of the game? Is this Lilith? Is this Sarah? Is this an entirely new character? Who could be imortant enough to be given a full-body design and be in an animated trailer?? Was it significant that she was seen with Solomon and Satan specifically? Wow rip some alternate universe obey me fandom that i just visited in my dream theyre really goin thru it

Karaoke Night - I did this whole thing on one of my Discord Servers

So basically - it was the 7 main guys and what they’d do on Karaoke night.

I said I’d put it on my Tumblr...but it was going to be when I could do some linking to stuff: So I have put music vids, links to songs wherever they are and if nothing else - enjoy this

Lucifer: Can sing like a...well (fallen) angel. Is a lyrical baritone but can get up to some Tenor stuff.

Karaoke night is a hard thing to get him involved in because (and he recognizes it) he will be asked to do STUPID stuff.

They make him do Weird Al covers, Eminem...the lewdest crap they can imagine because...well..also - he can pull off a lot of stuff it's like 70 percent to irritate him and 30 because ....well...they all want to have him sing "Friend of the Devil" by Adam Jensen.

MC/Lucifer - they're doing Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. "Time to Say Goodbye" and  mC can't keep up with him...it's his show.

Lucifer/Mammon Duet: Mammon willl make Lucifer sing X Gonna Give it To ya (specifically the Deadpool version) and Mammon does most of the work here but but he is so invested int getting Lucifer to rap it's actually quite amazing.

Lucifer/Leviathan Duet: Carameldansen - Levi will pull off all the dance moves in the background and will back up Lucifer. Who will be stock still otherwise.

Lucifer/Satan Duet: It's Shia LaBouef. Satan is no singer but pulls off those spoken word  bits - and Lucifer is ...okay until he realizes what he's singing about. It's an odd vibe - it's awesome and also very strange to watch.

Lucifer/Asmo Duet: It's "Mad World" but the live version from the Adam Lambert concert. Asmo is the vocalist and Lucifer does back up and by GOD it works.

Lucifer/Beel Duet: I'd Do Anything for Love - and it doesn't go how you'd expect - Vocally it's Beel's show - Lucifer turns off the kareoke player and plays the piano. It makes everyone watching very hot. it's a dangerous combo.

Lucifer/Belphie: I Hate Everything About You by Three Days Grace. And BY GOD. It lands.

Karaoke Mammon:

Is the guy who figured out you can make dying whale noises in rockband to pass levels. And does it unappologetically. As a singer - not bad when he's trying. He could pull off something if he practiced. He has a good range but it's not refined. He can hit some contralto notes occasionally and some baritone stuff but very much lacks the practice.

Mammon on his own: Picks villain songs from musicals. He can do "Gaston" or "All you Wanna Do" from Six (much to Asmo's disgust).

Mammon and MC Duet: It's Tough to be a God from The Road to ElDorado. He'd love to do that and he makes a great Tulio to MC's Miguel.

Mammon and Lucifer: They do a duet of "Not a Common Man" - Mammon does a lot of musical stuff and he HATES Lucifer takes this one over. Cause the lyrics are him. Lucifer likes that he does the legwork on this.

Mammon and Leviathan: Butterfly by Crazy Town - to be fair - Levi thought it was Butterfly from the DDR game. However - between Mammon's voice and Levi's aptitudte for rhythm they manage this shockingly well.

Mammon and Satan: This duo isn't nearly as vicious to Lucifer as Belphie and Satan but - oh it's gonna get messy. Rage Unrestrained  by Excessum and they're all going to the ER. Including Mammon. It's worth it.

Mammon and Asmo: THey do a duet of David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust. It gets chaotic. Both can't wait to be the centre of attention.

Mammon and Beel: Sex Bomb - Because even if it makes everyone feel sorta...weirdly sexual (and probably because he wants to stick it to Asmo) - Getting Beel to do some Tom Jones is a great idea.

Mammon and Belphie: The Real Slim Shady - Eminem - and they they can do it. And Belphie can pull that nasal stuff.

Karaoke Leviathan:

On his own: Does lots of anime and idol stuff of course. He's mediocre as a singer but pulls off all the dance moves well.

Levi on his own: Does exclusively stuff from his fave idol groups - not that he nails the vocals but he's not intolerable. He does nail the chorography.

Leviathan and MC - gets as many people invovled as he can and they do TRI-ANGLE feat BOA and the TRAX - They know if they flatter Mammon enough he'll do the break down.

Leviathan and Lucifer - Real Emotion - The idol song from FFX-2 - but Lucifer doesn't find the song that offensive and Levi can do the background dance stuff.

Leviathan and Mammon: X Japan's Rusty Nail. And if you haven't seen the music video to that - it's the epitome of 80ies/mid 90ies anime music vids. (plus I am in love with Hide and cried my eyes out over his suicide.) - they'd manage this one. Not without Mammon remembering the music video and SOBBING.

Leviathan and Asmo: Hey, they do this one song: Sinful Indulgence. It's from a popular Otome game. It's Asmo's show but Levi can keep up.

Leviathan and Satan: THey do the Local Butterfly Guy rap from Devilman Crybaby. It's best not to have Satan sing but he can get away with spoken word and raps quite well.

Leviathan and Beel: Has him doing Evil Food Eater Conchita from mothy. It's hard outside of his range but actually Levi pulls off the background vocals really well. He does some higher vocals well. Beel feels bad for the subject of the song...but sympathizes.

Leviathan and Belphie: Lizzy Hale and Lindsey Sterling's Shatter Me - Belphie can be convinced to do the ballet here and it's BEAUTIFUL. Neither Belphie nor Levi are the best of singers but they manage it together.And Belphie doing ballet is something to behold.

Karaoke Satan 

He's just NOT a singer - It doesn't matter that much - He know it drives Lucifer nuts because Lucifer is lovely to listen to. But he's in two minds. He's either sober and refuses to embarrass himself or is three sheets to the wind and WILL embarrass not himself but Lucifer rather. 

 Satan on his Own: Will do William Shatner's spoken word version of Rocket Man. Can be convinced to rap but doesn't get into it too much. 

 Satan and MC: David Bowie's 'Space Oddity’. He's off key the whole time but no one cares - they manage to do the acting for it.

 Satan and Lucifer : Here Comes the Snake by the Cherry Poppin' Daddies - It's rough but but Lucifer does the hard notes and Satan isn't pretty by any means but he does it a tad more spoken word. Lucifer does this like champ however. It winds up being way more attractive than it should be. 

 Satan and Mammon: Mammon does 'Every Last Motherfu*cker should Go Down' from Jerry Springer the Opera...and lets Satan choose if he wants to actually play Satan. He usually plays Jerry as a matter of fact. Up to the second half. After that Satan chokes it out. Because he'd love to stick it to Lucifer like that

Satan and Leviathan: An odd one - "Hell" By the Squirrel Nut Zippers. Levi would groove to it but everyone would enjoy joining in.

Satan and Asmo: (And everyone) Somebody to Love - Queen - and everyone shrieks it along. Cause Asmo would simply get in every one all in and that'd be that. Asmo's gonna hit that high note but Satan doing the song on his own isn't fabulous but he's backed by the whole group in the end. 

 Satan and Beel: Royal Oil by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Ska stuff works with Satan and Beel's rumble works with this song - it...didn't hurt that Satan explained what the song was about sometime LATER. 

 Satan and Belphie: Dark Personality by The Planet Smashers. Mammon gets to join in on this one - this is dedicated by that trio PERSONALLY to Lucifer. It's VICIOUS. Mammon is DEFINITELY in on skanking. He dances like a true rudeboy. Oh and so does Satan.

Karaoke Asmo

Is quite possibly the best Kareoke singer out there. It STINGS with him that he loses out to some of his brothers - Asmo's got charisma and sex appeal and a great voice...and well, that's actually where he loses. He's got this record quality voice and it tend to miss out on some of the kareoke appeal. Like that's the one place you're not supposed to be PERFECT singing and he IS. No fair!

Asmo on his own: Quite apart from this little ditty you may or may not of heard of "Sinful Indulgence" Asmo would do Marina Diamandos' alter Ego Electra Heart's "How to Be a Heartbreaker"

Asmo with MC: The Devil's Son by The Creepshow. It'd be verrry sexual. Asmo would however take over the song and be the singer - because it'd be right up his street.

Asmo and Lucifer: Nobody's Side - from CHESS. Lucifer does the intro to it just to get to get out of it - He plays the American (and does a fair job of it - he is after all quite vocally gifted) with Asmo as Florence.. Asmo is content to do the rest of the song. He's got the whole dramatic prodouction going on with it

Asmo and Mammon: If Mammon goes for Bowie, Asmo goes for Lady Gaga. They are going to do Applause and it's just as messy. They step all over eachother. Asmo's got the vocals to do it, Mammon's just simply not going to sit down for it and really won't outdo him on stage. It's a miracle they can throw it together.

Asmo and Leviathan: They're doing Pinball Wizard by the Who. They are actually a great team up for this song. Levi's got the moves and also digs the subject matter but Asmo gets to shine doing the lead singing on it

Asmo and Satan: Shut Me Up by Mindless Self Indulgence - Asmo is well aware that Satan can't carry a tune in a basket but is shockingly good at tempering him - Asmo is a great singer and can work with a lot. Satan's shrieking is actually quite awesome when paired with Asmo doing a sort of screechy emo/goth/metal thing himself. Asmo's the one you WANT  paired with Satan should you not want to visit the emergency room later. 

 Asmo and Beel: They are doing Cab Calloway's Minnie the Moocher and Oh GOD is it fun. Beel's still a little stiff as a performer but Asmo gets everyone into it - he covers (and gets everyone to do) the scatting...but absolutely lets Beel do the low notes at the end. Even he makes happy noises when he can get into those low registers and it turns out to be fun for all involved. 

 Asmo and Belphie: Funnily enough - it's Belphie who pulls this one off. And of all songs? It's Wonderboy by Tenacious D. (Seriously just imagine "How about the power of flight, that do anything for you? and Belphie just doing a straight up "That's levitation, Holmes." It's not Asmo's style but he's got the chops to back Belphie up on this one so it turns out fun.

Karaoke Beelzebub

Beel on his own: Can't be bothered much but bribe him with food and he's got this incredible baritone, and can get down to a bass. He sings what other people want him to so there's a bit of a dichotomy about the fact that people want him to do the Beast Song from "Over the Garden Wall" - it’s not Beel’s style to sing that but god he could do it if you asked. and also Barry White's "Can't Get Enough of your Love"

Beel and MC: Dearly Departed by the Creep Show. It's MC's show and Beel does the backups but there's a lot of onstage chemistry. Everyone feels a ...way afterwards.

Beel and Lucifer: Where the Wild Roses Grow by Nick Cave and Kylie - and yeah - Lucifer does the female part. It was sort of a joke that went in a really wildly sexual direction, but also it is capable of shutting down the whole night. Thankfully it was done at the end of the night.

Beel and Mammon: Mammon's got a bit of a penchant for musicals so he kinda is into doing a lil' bit of Little Shop of Horror's "Feed Me/Git It" Especially because he knows he could explain the concept and well yeah. Beel gets a LITTLE into it. "just pretend I ate your custard" And it's a done deal. Mammon also does a great Seymor. Beel and Leviathan: They're doing Zu Ende from Dracula Musical (Incidentally: if you want to know what my own voice is like - Wao Yoka is very close to me - if Wao was wite chick) - but Levi is doing Wao/Drac's part and Van Helsing's part is Beel's.

Beel and Satan:  Poe - Control - Satan lets Beel do this - but it's not melodic enough that he can pull some weight here. Beel backs down if Satan's managing it. But he more or less just lets Satan do the second verse.

Beel and Asmo: Sweet Tooth by Scott Helman - It's Asmo's song really but Beel doesn't over take Asmo and they really pull this off. Beel joins real hard at the end and it gets very good.

Beel and Belphie: Slumber by Bad Religion. This really is a duet. They both sing this together. Beel does the bridge however. Belphie does air guitar occasionally. It’s rather potent - they are twins and they use this distinctly to their advantage.

Karaoke Belphegor

Belphegor isn't much for this whole kareoke thing but can be convinced into it. Hey - his twin's great, why does he have to put in the effort? However - when the situation calls for it - hes got a variety of tricks up his sleeve.

Belphegor on his own: Picks the classics. Just whatever the place has in the book mostly. But paired up then this guy is a little shit. As a singer he's not the strongest but he's not bad either. When he's trying he's quite interesting when he's bored he's just...meh, knows it and does not care. I want Candy? These Boots were Made for Walkin? Yeah those are Belphie's stuff

Belphie and MC: Belphegor's still trying too hard with MC and so they're doing Strange Disease by Prozzak. He thinks it'll help. He's not bad at doing the recieved pronounciation accent either though at that.

Belphie and Lucifer: Belphie ain't letting Lucifer get away with SHIT. Belphie is making him full on do Aqua's Barbie Girl and that's that. It's...ridiculously funny as a matter of fact. Belphie's plan may have backfired a little given that everyone really likes singing along. On the other hand, he DID make Lucifer say "Come on Barbie, let's go party."

Belphie and Mammon: Corey Hart's Sunglasses at Night - with Mammon indeed wearing his sunglasses at night for maximum effect. Mammon's way more into it than Belphie but it's an entertaining performance nonetheless.

Belphie and Leviathan: The ODDEST combo but - Dionysos (F. Olivia Ruiz)' 'Tais Toi Mon Couer' - Levi likes the animation in the video and Belphie can pull off the french and the vibe. it's actually much more effective than Belphie's attempts to do anything with MC (and if you haven't seen the vid and don't speak French there's some vids with subtitles - see above!) Belphie and Satan: (with Mammon) When You're Evil by Voltaire - Dedicated FULLLY to Lucifer. And they all get into it. Mammon's particularly good at this - but while Satan isn't much of a singer he's just willing to keep up. Mammon carries this but it's this lot very much singing directly to Lucifer. It's honestly terrifying but man the Anti-Lucifer Club pulls this one off like champs.

Belphie and Asmo: They do Four Chord Song by Asis of Awesome - it Belphie's brain of 'easy' with Asmo's need to show off. They can do this very well. Asmo does wonderful masterful work but Belphie does the stuff that Asmo can't reach. They just do a medley.

Belphie and Beel: Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeplin - and oh - Belphie will turn off the kareoke machine and bust out his accoustic and put in the effort - So it's Rodrigo Y Gabriela's cover. Beel is all in for it. But it's really Belphie's talent with the guitar. In almost any other story Beel's voice is the thing but here? No it's him.

[rhaenyratargeryn]

I just imagine that scene from Labyrinth when they all visit Sarah in her bedroom “should you need us...” “But I do need you!” “Well! Why didn’t you say so?”

But instead it’s all the Obey Me brothers and then end scene party in the human world with MC

[demonlover92]

Part 2: Free to use Shall We Date - Obey Me mood boards. 

Bonus board with my MC, Sarah, with her favorite demon brother, Satan.

One of my biggest pet peeves about Jumin and his route is how PEOPLE DELIBERATELY MISCONSTRUE IT COMPLETELY

NUMBER ONE: Jumin’s bad end 2 is a completely consensual BDSM relationship. It might not be a healthy or well executed one, but it is NOT Jumin kidnapping you. Not ONLY does the MC have to ask him for this, and explicitly say what she wants from him, not only does Jumin then respond with “as long as you desire this”, but you have to spend days softening him up to this by outrageously seducing him and asking to be caged/kept forever.  and it kind of makes me mad people say this like a criticism while also squeeing over Unknown actually kidnapping you. he’s not taking you to a utopia of orgies and sex, he’s taking you to be tortured until you’re brainwashed. Jumin is literally keeping you at your request in the lap of luxury with wild loving sex as long as you desire it - and only as long as you want it.

NUMBER TWO: JUMIN DOES NOT MOTHER! FLIPPING!! KIDNAP THE MC!!!

The MC chooses!!!! to go!!! to Jumin’s place!! And then she chooses to stay! He begs and pleads for her not to leave, but aside from a brief moment of panic where he’s like “KABEDON!” he doesn’t actually force her to stay. There’s no dialog that I recall where he is like “The security won’t let you leave the building no matter what you do” (and even if he did make such a ludicrous order, why would the security obey this??) - What actually happens is that MC arrives and soothes Jumin’s panic over Sarah and Glam’s schemes, resulting in him falling even harder for MC than before. Then Elizabeth disappears (it’s never fully explained how, but obviously she’s grabbed by the hacker purposefully to set him off - which is basically what he was afraid Sarah would do) and Jumin actually rightfully panics in fear that after losing everything else dear to him, he might lose the MC if she leaves his influence.

Recall the reason Jumin is afraid is because all of the RFA members are in danger, and all of them have a 24/7 guard. MC does not, because her location is secret. And we know from previous routes that the only way to save her when (not even really ‘if’) the hacker comes for her is if the people are warned ahead of time long enough to force 7 to give up the info and then run to save her. It’s mentioned at some point that if the bodyguards aren’t enough, or if Seven’s protection is insufficient (it is) that the RFA members + MC could just live with Jumin because his place is literally the safest place in all of the RFA.

So he is NOT kidnapping her. He is protecting her. And the MC never tries to escape and is stopped by guards. Whenever she tries to ‘escape’ (BE3 BRE2) it’s always ‘without Jumin knowing so he can’t protest’.

NUMBER THREE: JUMIN IS NOT A CRAZY CONTROL FREAK. He is a control freak, but he’s not crazy possessive. Yoosung is, if any of them, the crazy possessive one. Jumin gets jealous, but he won’t go off on anyone (or the MC) for talking to other people. He doesn’t panic about someone stealing her away, he just chooses not to share pictures of her because he doesn’t think anyone needs to see her before the party. Before you go off about that, note how the MC could share pictures of herself any time and doesn’t. Never. Ever. If she had a problem with Jumin hiding what she looks like, why not share a selfie? Indeed, why not ever share one on any route?

Jumin is literally just learning to express himself and open up about his emotions/embrace them in his route. Freaking out at him about being too ‘creepy’ is the same as the RFA members making fun of him because he spilled his feelings about his father on the chat. He trusts the MC and is intimately close to her.

He muses about the things he wants, the things he likes, and part of that is the desire to control the woman he loves. He’s feeling it out, exploring things he’s never even considered before, and the MC is a confidante. The MC has the choice to tell him she doesn’t like it, or she can agree. He buys her clothes but remember she didn’t pack any, so the alternative would be forcing her to stay in her one outfit for days and nights. There really isn’t any way he controls her, and as we can see from his dialog choices (and BE2) he’s actually pretty whipped and is more likely to allow MC to control him than force her to obey him.

NUMBER. FOUR. THE MC ONLY STAYS AT HIS PLACE FOR LIKE THREE DAYS.

At most, Jumin was going to keep her until the party when things would somehow be safer (don’t ask me why, it just always is). It’s basically just  a weekend. She’s not stuck there forever, she’s just there for a few days while all hell is breaking loose outside. She’s hardly a captive.

NUMBER FIVE. The MC herself isn’t even really scared. The primary concerns in the route are that their behavior is inappropriate. Zen freaks out because the MC and Jumin might do things he disapproves of. Jaehee throws a fit because Jumin slacks off from work and they should ‘go out on dates first’ if they want to be a ‘real’ couple, MC and Seven are like “But MC has responsibilities that were arbitrarily and actually forcibly assigned to her and an apartment that’s sort of ‘hers’ which is actually unsecured and super dangerous, so that’s where she belongs!”

Who cares if two consenting adults have sex? Who cares if they choose not to follow normal dating procedure? That’s their concern, not their friends’. And why does it really matter so much that a party gets delayed or canceled when MC never had a choice to begin with? Why do people freak out because Jumin keeps her somewhere safe out of concern for her, but no one seems to care that MC was tricked into going into that apartment and then actually straight up forced through intimidation and the threat of imprisonment to be the party planner for a bunch of rich strange men she’s never met before?? (Try saying ‘no I wont’ to the RFA. Every chance you get. see what happens.)

If it doesn’t matter that MC is mostly fine with being with Jumin (or very fine with it in BE2), it doesn’t matter that MC suddenly decides the party thing is a SUPER COOL IDEA. Especially when the former poses exactly 0% danger to her, and the latter is actually extremely and actively endangering her life.
